Among the thousands of disciples of the Buddha , Phu Lau Na has proved that not only is he full of those two important factors , but also has other special qualities , so he has been honored as one of the most gifted people in the world. The teaching of the Dharma stands at the top! That ability was contained in the name of the false religion . In fact, the name of the venerable is very long. "Phu Lau Na" is just a short name for "Phu Lau Na Di Da La Ni Tu" (Purnamaitrayaniputra - Punnamantaniputta). What the title long solid that is symbolic for financing the sermon of false religions , stretching endlessly , as the high mountains, such as water; it reveals enthusiasm boundless , kindness immensely . So, if translated, that title of the venerable means "one full of love ( Man Tu Tu ). 2.- FRUITS AFTER EXPORTING : Phu Lau Na lived in a family full of happiness , although it was not the wealth that covered the world, but also belonged to the famous class of India at that time. The venerable very parents loved , spoiled, but as soon sense that, properties of material as well as love, love the family , to someday will loss, dividing, and crucial for One's life is to find a noble and eternal possession- that's the truth . Therefore, the venerable one was determined to cut off the ropes that bind the world , take refuge in the Buddha, and vow to dedicate his life to serving the cause of truth . With the determination that, after ordained not long, false religions have seen Arhat - the fruits of the highest of goods Thanh Van , an end unless all negativity , quit li birth and death, can wield magical powers to go practice chemicalfreely everywhere . 3.- BEEN SIGNED BY THE BUDDHA : Once , during a Dharma talk , the Buddha told many stories about the causes and conditions of many past lives . These stories made Phu Lau Na extremely moved . Venerable immediately stood up , fixing clothes back straight, before the Buddha, bowed , and with hearts full of glasses , false religions stood silent contemplation of the face of Buddha ... In moments of divine that, religions fake really see clearly merit high hose beacon of Buddha which language the world can not describe fully! The venerable only knew how to use his two hands to hit his chest to hope that the Buddha could see through his wish ! It's like "using the mind to press the mind", the Buddha certainly understood the secret mood of Phu Lau Na . He declared: - Phu Lau Na! Charles had studied diligently , never lazy ; and always depending on the time, depending on the place, has helped the Tathagata to propagate the Dharma . Inside the four disciples of the Tathagata , he had been taught , revelation, makes people be more beneficial . The teacher's teaching skills stand at the top! Undergoing countless lifetimes later, he would become a Buddha right now that this world, and the Buddha would have the title isDharma Minh Tathagata . Word of Life's characters Buddha gave Purna conviction legal blow boundless and appreciation deeply not the same. The venerable reverently pay homage to Buddha, circumambulated three laps, and then return to the seat, her eyes still glitter in tears touched . But the surprise of the crowd was not beyond the Buddha 's expectations , so he immediately taught: - Hey, teacher! Do you understand the fact that the Tathagata has just given a prediction to Master Phu Lau Na ? Just because he preached very well that in the future certain will become a Buddha right now that this world, efficiency is France Ming Tathagata . You should also praised Mr. Purna was the head of the teacher eloquence sermon in the sangha . Phu Lau Na has penetrated the vast sea ​​of ​​Dharma of the Tathagata , which can bring benefitsfor all of us to study together ; It can be said that, in the Dharma assembly , except for the Tathagata , no one can compare with Phu Lau Na in terms of skillful speech . Moreover, you should also know that Phu Lau Na not only helped the Tathagata to proclaim the Dharma , but in fact , through ninety million Buddha lands in the past , he had also helped the Buddhas to promote the righteous. Dharma , and are also praised as peopledoctrine number one. Please take a look at Phu Lau Na and make your own progress . The venerable Phu Lau Na was prophesied by the Buddha was an extremely glorious event , even wearing a hat made of lost pearls on his head could not be equal; because since that moment, false religions have legs into position veneration of a Career "guru" and so on. 4.- COUNTRY OF THE FUTURE BUDDHA : In the future, venerable Phu Lau Na will become a Buddha . Then, if there is functional and enough good conditions, people may vow birth of the country of his to practice . What is the state of that country ? Buddha taught: - National level by virtue France Ming Tathagata meantime , the terrain is flat, no mountains slot rough nor thorny stones; these treasures like gold and silver pearls strewn with the ground; All the temples and towers are high to the blue clouds. In the world there are no realm of suffering like hell , peta , animals ; people born there are biochemical , flying freely , have no idea of lust ; no ideaabout the self and what belongs to the self ; all people have the convenience and needs a way of liberation . There are also no narrow racial divides in that country ; there is no distinction between strong and weak; free from hatred, enmity , deception, coercion and invasion; no dispute over lose; there is no war. All people live together in a spirit of harmony , reverence and praise . Therefore, the worldThis time it is no longer called "Saha" which is a world presented in clean , pure charity, like the world of Bliss of the Buddha Amitabha . The Buddha's teachings are completely true ; because the venerable Phu Lau Na used his own merit in preaching the Dharma to beautify that Buddha country. That is also the result precious gain of one who has gone through countless lifetimes make pancreas work praised the Dhamma . 5. ADVICE sincere : Phu Lau Na is very enthusiastic about the work of preaching the Dharma, mainly for the sake of liberating birth and death and saving sentient beings , absolutely not for the sake of seeking fame and profit. Therefore false religions very grieved when they see that your disciples Buddha, himself dressed in the law, but how to birth their workings completely not because of Buddhism , but only for the benefit itself . The cause is because at that time the prestige of the Buddha and the Sangha are spreading everywhere,touched by the the position monarch reigning kingdoms in peninsular India . After taking refuge with the Buddha , many king ordered, all the people criminal felony , can not be forgiven , but if you take refuge under Buddha entered the Sangha life ordained , the crime, despite the heavy exempt anywhere. Although knowing that this will cause our pure sangha to become a place of mixed dragons and snakes, out of compassionboundless , as sea water from hundreds of rivers, see sinners suffering can not be heartless not saved , so the Buddha had accepted them ordained . From then on, in the new Sangha mixed with the less virtuous elements , there was no bad deed not to do. They take advantage of the Buddha's virtue to seek fame and gain; They even dared to do the worst act of selling Buddha. For this class of bhikkhus, venerable Phu Lau Na is always good Use honest words to advise: - Brethren! We can not do actions that go against the teachings of the Blessed One . We can not recommend people give alms while the us the appetite and keep the money for himself. It is impossible that, while telling people the harm of the five desires to their body and mind , we ourselves enjoy and bind ourselves in the prison of the five desires . We are very fortunate to have the Blessed OneAs a teacher, you must see that it is a good condition that is difficult to meet in thousands of lives. So any jobs yet we were not contrary to the religious institutions of the Buddha , not to violate the precepts, methodical, of Buddha . The most important thing is that we never make people lose faith in Buddhism . The reason we are allowed to leave home to study the Way is because the Blessed One is compassionate and wants to give us the opportunity to repent and kill our sins . So, if werefused relied on the teachings to regain the light, do not cherish the sangha , no zeal for the preaching benefit students , whether Buddha has since kindness compassion that acquired us in this moment, then in The future we also bring to ourselves something good . The Buddha often taught, people should not be afraid of sin ; If there is a mistake, but knowing how to correct it , immediately become a pure person . Even though he's an ordinary person inincrease them , that is also not related ; but if a man know only slowly self-interest , act with no regard for the public , not ignoring anything to the teachings of the Buddha , the danger immensely . Since the contract with lettered fraternity same church a teacher, and a school teacher, I would like to sincerely little things on the same lettered fraternity . Whether lettered fraternity reviews scold me, nor what relationship, just so that Buddhism was flourishing, for beings are benefiting . I look forward to it from now onBrotherhood will rise to practice sincerity , always according the teachings of the Buddha that practice . Buddha knows Purna was so, so often praised, in the Sangha , respected author who knows advice and civilizing . 6. WANT TO DHARMA BE spread AROUND PEOPLE TIME : Phu Lau Na is a thoughtful person who is very careful in everything she does every day . For someone or something happens in the sangha , false religions have hesitated , thinking mature multiple times per mile expressed is. Only for the work of preaching the Dharma , it is very quick and enthusiastic. Anyone get the opportunity to sow seeds of Bodhi is certain forward , no matter what the prime losses or dangerous for the individuals themselves. In the Sangha , the number of people assisted Buddha job royal law degree students are also many, but since some people take the time to rummage around in human populations society to announce teachers without expecting demand profit nursing, not afraid of tribulation, not afraid of difficulties hard work, few people can compare with Phu Lau Na . There are some you, but according to Buddhist texts full belly, but for the living beings is not enough kindness and enthusiasm. They don't care about the suffering of birth and deathof the world, but kept confining themselves in an ivory tower of complacency. There are some other friends, who are not enthusiastic about the cause of saving lives, but still get entangled in society with unreligious relationships. For both of these people, the venerable one never ignores it. One day on the way of goods , passing a solitary forests, false religions saw some monks are you retreat to practice in it. The venerable came before them, respectfully clasped his hands : - Your Excellencies! It's been a long time since I've known that you've been hiding in the mountains and forests , not letting yourself be drowned in the world . Your personality is so noble, I respect you very much, but I also know that you are also messengers , obeying the Buddha 's command to go and teach everywhere , why don't you come to human society to save sentient beings? As soon as the monks saw it, they immediately knew it was Phu Lau Na . They were very happy , invited them to sit down, and replied : - Your Excellency! We have been to announce religious place, but they are born is difficult chemistry degree . The World-Honored One told us to give the dharmata of nectar to the world, but they thought it was something unclean that could not be tasted. They are stupid , stubborn , obstinate , and only care about indulging in a sea of lust . They only know how to kill to sacrifice to ghosts and gods for blessings, but they don't know that they are creating karma for evil paths .We tried to arm compassion to save, but they are certain not bear turning their head looked back. Venerable Sir , not everyone can temporarily walk on the broad path of truth . Let them go their own way . Once they have suffered the full consequences of suffering , and when the conditions are ripe, they will naturally know how to turn back . Heard these words, false religions understand that you monks have also met a lot of obstacles and difficulties on the way of his Dharma, making their enthusiasm became cold. However , the false religion still tried to convince and encourage them: - Dear brothers and sisters! Your understanding of the path of cultivation is very right , I am very impressed! But I don't think your opinion about spreading the law to save lives is quite right. If Buddhism easily propagate and beings enjoy cultural level , what needs the contributions of us in his work. It is because life is full of evils and filth , and it is very difficult to propagate the Dharma to save birth , and also to repay the Buddha's deep kindness., but we should be brave and diligent to carry out this great and important work. As ordained disciples of the Blessed One , we must take the teaching of the Dharma to do housework , take profit as a career , not consider the Sangha as a refuge or a nursing home ; Nor should the notion that, were ordained as monks competition concerns only solve the activities of private themselves, and all the things of the world are neglected and do not need to be concerned . If not propagate Buddhism , if not chemistry of living beings , and that the work does not benefit for myself, which is against the teachings of the Buddha . With wishes of compassion , Buddha would not be content knowing that you have conceived such. A person is so poor that he only dares to ask for a penny or a penny to get by, and you suddenly bring his fortune of thousands of dong to give it away, that person has a lot of money.Do you doubt your good intentions? Likewise, the reason people are not born reception is Buddhism because they are too poor to lack that suddenly you bring them a fortune Dharma massive, how they are likely to receive! Dear brothers and sisters! We are embracing a love infinite, an enthusiastic fullness , then please bring joy Dharma spread across the human world ; Bring the light of wisdom, love, and majesty of the Blessed Onedivided around the same the age, making themselves they gradually become where pure dignified . It is the responsibility of the monastic , which cannot be avoided , cannot be refused. So now, Buddhism in the country Bat Sa (Vatsa - Vamsa) has yet to be flourishing, please lettered fraternity let me go there to his Dharma. Sincere and zealous of false religions have made you monks hermitage other extremely touched . They were delighted and enthusiastic with the venerable on the way back to the kingdom of Basha ... 7.- ATTITUDE WHILE GOODS : With a bowl , Purna has traveled extensively around, just begging just to practice their religion , undergo natural paint thousands shui, no different from the life of a poet or a painter. Sometimes in the kingdom of Ma Kiet Da (Magadha), sometimes in the kingdom of Kieu slap La (Kosala); today is in the Ti Xa Li (Vesali), tomorrow come to Ca Thi (Kasi), ... People are false religions touched , leading to the Dharma actually extremely crowded, impossible to count can end. In the Sanghait's hard for anyone to compare with the fake in this respect . Even to those causes , despite the stubborn , obstinate nowhere, which everyone is respected author rambling teaching the mind becomes mature and joyful reception Dharma . Because of the special skills that the fake religious is so successful ? Many of the people in the audience really wanted to learn , so one day during leisure time , one askedpseudo-religion : - Master! On the way of goods of the brothers , even where the rural prairies, but the brothers have arrived, the place also became the mecca dignified ; all people , whoever hears legal tone of Brothers , it has been the silent, peaceful . Expected success in the work of preaching , in addition to the Buddha that are in mass one can hardly compare with the brother is. So how does the parenthave such majesty ? Humbly, the venerable replied : - Actually, I don't know what virtues I have, only one thing is that I always think of the World-Honored One . Invariably, before going of goods I have not forgotten silently begged Buddha upholding , help me complete the career chemistry degrees , making the people are peaceful , liberated . I do not need one known Purna only desire to see and know the Career Guru omniscience of us . So, what has been touchedhuman life is, there is Buddha of us with the teachings of enlightenment of people, but personally I did not deserve what they which mentions! All glory , Phu Lau Na brought back to the Buddha . The monks present all bowed their heads in respect. Then they continued with concern : - We see brothers living process of austerity! The brother worked without rest, in addition to teaching the Dharma to save birth, he also had to walk and meditate ; so that the brothers refused to use the food drink nutritious for the body , how have enough health to practice their religion! Although very touched by the sincerity of fellow initiates , Phu Lau Na still replied affirmatively: - I would like to thank the interest of you brothers . We live in a sea of the teachings of the Buddha , a little deeds like that is worth nothing to call is stricken. Exalted of us have ever gone through many lifetimes practice , fertility , sometimes one day only eat a grain of sesame or a grain of rice, which when brought alms head, eyes, or the network itself , then the front Can that suffering even be imagined ! Every time I go grocery shopping , Ireturned to be seated in front of him, heard the words taught by him, and that the legal status of the nectar was the best nutritious foods, you most -favored network of mine. Where I conduct the traveled all mountain river grasses are welcome, smile and encourage me; the light of wisdom of the World-Honored One always protects my body ; His heart is always alive in my heart. So I never felt miserable. Dear brothers and sisters,Every time I saw acts of thousands, tens of thousands of people returning before Buddha hands bowed , I'm extremely excited , thrilled . I also turned to him, clasped my hands in prostration to ask him to accept them, arouse in them faith in the Dharma , and give them the strength to advance on the path of cultivation . Please sincerity of the Venerable Purna even make the practitioners deeply admired. They are folded hands bowed praised the merit of false religions . 8.- WHERE IS HOME: On the way of goods , Venerable Purna has traveled all over the place the human , living life like the wings of dirt floating , never resides certain . During the day, either on the boulevard , or in the alley, or in the park, depending on the degree of grace ; At night, either on the mountainside, or in the woods, or by the riverside, sitting alone ; Indeterminate footsteps are like flowing water and clouds, wherever you stop, there is home. Sometimes, for the sake of studying , venerablealso campaigned to build lecture halls and viharas , but when the lecture halls and viharas were completed , the false venerable invited monks to reside and practice the religion , while he left, continuing the indeterminate path . The venerable never kept money for himself. Except for three robes, a bowl and a sitting chair , the venerable one no longer carried anything else with him. Venerable also never bothered to calculate in the matter of rice. Bring bowl go begging , false religions do not distinguish the benefactor rich and poor, good and bad; praise not blame the food delicious bad, healthy or unhealthy, because of false religions , only the legal position nectar Buddha's food is the most nutritious food in the world. One day is of goods in the table for Li (Koliya), Venerable accidentally meet an old friend before in the countryside. After the welcome visit , the friend said: - Your Excellency! I heard that every day the Venerable Master was wandering around to practice . Don't know what so busy Venerable Master ! From day Venerable go ordained until now , never once great faith back home visits old, relatives relatives who also wish to remember, Venerable gone long years, farms, homes, home products are no , why so poor ! When will the venerable come back home? Phu Lau Na replied : - Dear client! To meet the client again today, I am infinitely happy . It's been very busy, as always worry how the people are far away from being miserable and achieve joy, happiness . I am now a disciple of Buddha, wherever I go, I am a family member, and everyone is a relative . I no longer have to bind myself to private fields and possessions; Those things are inherently impermanent , illusory . I am very happy to travel around here to preach the Dharma . I am the messenger oftruth , and is paving the way for sentient beings to enlightenment . I thank benefactors and please seek benefactors when home they speak for that, I thank all the people have every wish to remember me. Then I also had to return once to visit and help them. So when can return , this Phu Lau Na will immediately return . - Your Excellency! It's only been so many years apart ! I did not expect that after following the Buddha 's ordination , the spirit of the Venerable was so excited and positive ! Venerable always because people without thinking to myself alone. I have great respect. Later, when the great faith back to his home country, the former certain we would welcome a solemn , for then great faith will bring light Dharma on making benefits to villagerswe . - Once again thank benefactors . I will definitely return as the client wishes . Goodbye friend compatriot , false religions to continue on the road of goods . 9. METHODS OF TEACHING OF GOODS : Phu Lau Na is indeed a person with a talent for speaking the Dharma that is second to none. How many methods of teaching that Buddha once used for fertility as use means to say legal, depending on the disease to drugs, clearly considered radical to teach etc .. false religions are used is up to the excellence . The venerable one always told himself, speaking the Dharma was for sentient beings and for sentient beings , not for himself and for himself. The moral high depthmagic is only for a few people of superior intelligence ; and for the majority of the masses , the false religion only uses teachings that are easy to learn and easy to practice , so that everyone can accept and practice . It can be said that using different teachings to teach different classes of people is the forte of the venerable Phu Lau Na . There was, standing in front of some of the audience consisting of surgeons, false religions ask them: - Ladies and gentlemen! You can treat people's aches and pains, diseases, but for incurable psychological diseases such as greed , anger , stupidity, etc., you have a cure. which one? - Your Excellency! Doctors like us can treat physical ailments such as headaches, stomachaches, etc. , but we have no cure for mental illnesses like the venerable one just said . So can the great virtue cure it? - OK! Teachings of Buddha as water nectar , can wash everything dirty contained in the human heart. Three permission to study is presented, specify , and wisdom like "thousands of single components", can heal the sick mind greed of beings . When the front of the ruler , the false religions ask: - With the responsibility and authority of an official, you can punish people who commit crimes , but do you have any measures to prevent people from committing crimes ? - Your Excellency! Although there is a national law, it cannot prevent people from committing crimes . - Ladies and gentlemen! In addition to the national law, you and all the people should practice the Buddha's teachings. If everyone believed in and practiced under the Five Prohibitions and Ten healthy is certain no one was guilty . One day, while passing by a village, Phu Lau Na stopped by the field to teach farmers who were working in the field. The psalmist declares: - Ladies and gentlemen! You plow the fields, plant rice, and create food to nourish your body , which is extremely useful work for everyone . But today I would like to tell you more for a method of making the field blessing to nurture favored-network your. Would you like to know? - Making the field blessing to nurture favored-network is something, please virtue teach! We want to hear. - Please accept the Buddha's teachings, serve the Three Jewels . To you ascetic , please be wholeheartedly reverent . For sick people , they should take care of them wholeheartedly . For the public benefit charity , should enthusiastically support . For parents , must keep filial piety . For people in the village, it is advisable to uphold the good things and leave out the bad things. Animals should not be killed indiscriminately . Those are the best ways to cultivate merit fields your grace . Thanks to such skillful teaching methods , many different types of people in society have had the opportunity to take refuge in the Three Jewels and practice the Buddhadharma , which the medical professions, mandarins and farmers just mentioned above are typical examples. The false religion has no fixed abode, nor is there any definite teaching method . Sometimes speaking the Dharma right in a public place; Sometimes it's just for one family . Sometimes use nice words to praise the Buddha ; sometimes exercise divine power to arouse faith in people. Thanks to that, the Buddha 's teachings were easily accepted and practiced by people . 10.- SPEAK THE FRAME FOR KING TAN BA SALA : Venerable Phu Lau Na also knows how to use magical powers in the conversion . When King Bimbisara (Bimbisara) being human is Ajatasatru (Ajatasatru - Ajatasattu) imprisoned in a dungeon, the Venerable joined Venerable Moggallana (Maudgalyayana - Moggallana), well teachers will of Buddha, from not Trung went straight into the prison to speak the Dharma and impart the Eight Commandments to the king. Three frequency sala is the king of Magadha (Magadha). Among the kings of the kingdoms in the territory of India at that time, he was the first to take refuge as a disciple of the Buddha. Later, his own son, Prince Ajatasatru , because listen instigated by Venerable Devadatta (Devadatta), arrested him detained in prison, not for eating , looking forward to his early death to up successor throne . For the children acting up so he was not resentment, but only shop projector predestined karma to take it as a pleasure to comfort yourself. The more he suffered, the more he remembered the Buddha's teaching : Whether it's heaven, earth, sun , moon , Mount Sumeru , sea etc.., nothing is unchanged. If there is success, there is destruction. There is prosperity and there is decline. There must be tan. There is birth and there is death. There is joy and there is suffering. There is joy and there is worry. In this world there is no fun is lasting forever , but suffering isendless endless... Despite visualize it, but he still had that uneasy uneasy at the thought of life hybrid born of her. Between meantime, two Venerable Purna and Moggallana appear . Phu Lau Na came and sat next to him, speaking in a low voice just enough for the king to hear: - Your Majesty! The poor man obeyed the order of the Blessed One to come here to talk to the great king . The World-Honored One taught that this form body that has absorbed the power of karma must receive the retribution of suffering . Better off is to let karma is ending ; Because the most important thing for a cultivator is to eliminate karma in order to achieve liberation . But it is not only people in prison who are bound and lose their freedom! Truththose who are not imprisoned in prison are still bound and lose their freedom ; but the things that are imprisoning them are money, fame, beauty, greed , hatred . In general, this Saha world is such a great prison. Regardless of being imprisoned or not, death is inevitable ; because in life there is bound to be death! So death is not something to be afraid of , but what makes us fear is that after death we do not have a good realm to go back to. SoBuddha has told the private word Royal , please Royal please the most specialized center concept titles of Buddha Amitabha (Amitabuddha); Please sincere vow to reborn in the world of Bliss (Sukhavati), where Buddha Amitabha is instructive . It is a land of complete peace and liberation . Hearing the above words of Phu Lau Na , King Tan Ba ​​Sa La felt very comforted . Obeying the Buddha's teachings, he meditated and visualized , then peacefully reborn ... 11.- THE SPIRIT OF TEACHING : Venerable Phu Lau Na preached the Dharma to save birth without asking for reverence , not avoiding a difficult place to find an easy place; on the contrary , local meet increasingly difficult as the level how much is false religions as euphoria this much enthusiasm, trying to make Buddhism should be spread in those places. Once , after the settlement season ended , Phu Lau Na wanted to go on the road to enlightenment. Venerable white Buddha : - World-Honored One , please allow me to go to Du Lo Na (Surapatanta) to propagate the Dharma! Although he was very happy with this request , because he knew that teaching in Du Lo Na was extremely difficult and dangerous, the Buddha said : - Phu Lau Na , Teaching sentient beings is to benefit yourself and others. The Tathagata is very happy for the teacher to fulfill his wish . However, he can go anywhere, but if he goes to Du Lo Na, the Tathagata is not at ease . So galaxy every teacher must go Du Na Lo! You should choose another place, the Tathagata will see you off on the road . - Why is that, World-Honored One! Shouldn't we be able to go wherever there are sentient beings ? - Phu Lau Na! You should know, Du Lo Na is a small and remote country, because the roads are not convenient , the culture is not developed. The people there are mostly rude, ferocious and used to violence. People in other places , once they get there, it is difficult for anyone to hope to return with their whole life . Now that I go there, the Tathagata is afraid that something dangerous will happen! But the venerable resolutely said: - White World Honored One! The truth can not use words to do to express is my gratitude for the love love encircled by Bhagavan for us. Increasingly appreciate kindness of Bhagavan that I as jubilant was selflessness easy to serve Dharma and serve living beings . Today, because Du Lu Na is a yet to be civilized , but prior to now not have any position give rise to such teaching , so I increasingly feltI can't help but go there. You would have known, to the land that is very dangerous, but because aspirant commended the Dhamma that I have to forget the safety of yourself . So please Bhagavan graciously promised ability to. Buddha extremely joyful for the spirit "because of his legal forget" of Purna , but due to neck ratio more sense for the public . He continued to ask the venerable : - Phu Lau Na! You are so right ! As a disciple of the Tathagata , he must take enlightenment as one of the essential things of his practice , but now he is going to Dulona to teach , if the people there refuse to accept the teaching . of the teacher, but what about scolding the teacher? - White World Honored One! If they just scolded me , I think they still have good people, but they won't be so cruel , because they haven't used sticks to beat me. "But what if they hit you with bricks and stones, or hit you with sticks?" - White World Honored One! I think they still are good because they failed to use the knives to stab the injured area of heavy. - But what if they used knives and swords to stab the teacher until they were seriously injured ? - White World Honored One! If that's all, then I think they're still good people, because they still have some humanity left , not to the point of killing me tragically . - But what if they kill you? - White World Honored One! If this happens, I thank them even more, because killing this form of my body means that they help me enter the state of nirvana , as well as helping me use this body to repay the Blessed One 's kindness . If this happens, it's not an obstacle for me , but it's only a pity that I haven't been able to do anything to help them. Buddha praised: - Phu Lau Na! You are indeed worthy to be a great disciple of the Tathagata . Regardless of whether you practice or propagate, you will learn the virtue of patience of the Tathagata . The mind and scene within the master himself are always still. Now that the teacher can go, the Tathagata and the assembly take him on the road . Inspired by the ancient Buddha , the venerable man was deeply moved , his determination was strengthened , as if nothing could be shaken. The venerable paid homage to the Buddha and set off for Du Lo Na... 12.- EDUCATIONAL WORK IN DULO NA: After bowing to the Buddha and the assembly , the venerable Phu Lau Na took a straight step in the direction of Du Lo Na. The Kingdom of Du Lona, the land is arid, the population is poor . Everywhere there are only high mountains, rivers and canals. There is no prosperous city ​​in the whole country , nor is there a densely populated village. Glutinous living of the people almost like the history . Therefore, when put to this country, with that situation, Purna body clock as not no way to perform the mission. Prior to this, false religions have of preparing coated proverbial dialect of people Du Lu Na, but in the mission , in addition to language also requires many conditions for more. Between the religious and the local people, although the language problem is not an obstacle, but the bowl and robe on the monk's body , for them, is really something strange . Venerable knows that for a place where the culture is still so backward , otherwiseskillful, it is not easy to arouse in the people faith in Buddhism . It is futile to tell them the profound and mysterious teachings . So the best way and pressing the most current is to help them improve the way of living everyday; because the work of teaching cannot always be done in isolation from the daily routine of the masses . Therefore, for the time being, the venerable one does not reveal his identity as a monk but only plays the role of a doctor, working all day with the work of visiting and taking care of patients. Purna can cure all diseases generally, and when healed, false religions and enthusiasm as when preaching . Whether remote village near neighbor, whether early morning or late at night, everyone knew where someone was sick, the young even to climb wading streams, false religions also certain to arrive to heal. Therefore, the patient, once seeing the venerable one, is as happy as seeing the savior ; and thanks to that, even serious illnesses are quickly cured. In addition to the role of a physician, the psalmist also undertakes the work of a teacher. The venerable taught them to learn words and to learn the reasons of life. During the day, the venerable taught them how to cultivate, how to arrange housework, and how to deal with people in the family ; Dinner, false religions gather them back to only discuss the preservation of Prohibitions and perform ten good thing . By that method , soon the venerable made many people in Du Lonatake refuge in the Triple Gem . It was in this small country that he received five hundred good disciples and built fifty temples. (It is said that there are two venerable masters with the same name Phu Lau Na ; One is Phu Lau Na Man Tu Tu - Punna Mantaniputta, a native of the city near Kapilavatthi , praised by the Buddha for having a special talent for preaching. legal superlative. a is Purna Du Lu Na - puñña · Sunasarata, a merchant in Du Lu Na - an island in the ocean east of India , to Sravasti hear Buddhist theory of law, then please ordained . After attained Arhat , false religions have returned to homeland Du Lu Nadegree - Translator's annotation). 13.- CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TEACHER : The Buddha once gave instructions on the ten qualities of a teacher . For these ten virtues, venerable Phu Lau Na always memorized them by heart and took them as a guideline to carry out throughout his life in spreading the Dharma for profit . Those ten virtues are: 1) Understand the meaning of the Dharma . 2) Can act for others to understand. 3) In front of any audience is not afraid. 4) Speak eloquently , fluently, and respond without impediments. 5) Know how to use media depending on the base of the listener. 6) Present in a logical order so that anyone can practice easily. 7) Serious demeanor. 8) Diligent and enthusiastic. 9) Don't get discouraged. 10) Patient but powerful . Although the other way of teaching, but the mind of Phu Lau Na never leaves the Buddha. Every time the Buddha had a special predestined relationship or had an important Dharma talk , even if he were thousands of miles away, he would try to return to the monastery to visit the Buddha and gain knowledge . This time, after preaching in Du Lo Na, the venerable also returned to the monastery to pay respects to the Buddha. The Buddha just saw the venerable come out from the seat of the assemblyfilled with joy , he opened his mouth to praise: - Phu Lau Na is here! Tathagata and the public are keen to remember him. The chemistry of the teacher Du Lu Na can be nice not? You have helped the Tathagata a lot in promoting the Dharma . Both in terms of body and spirit , he knows preserve perfect order for the body always healthy and trust is counting Jewels never be shaken. Kindness and compassion, virtue calmand his talent, his virtues, his style and his voice, it can be said that nothing is incomplete . Phu Lau Na! You have made the Tathagata completely assured about the work of teaching in the small country of Du Lo Na. Pausing for a moment, the Buddha continued: - Hey, teacher! In the congregation of the Tathagata , Phu Lau Na deserves to be called the number one teacher . You should also try to be like Phu Lau Na . 14. DO NOT AGREE WITH TON FAKE Mahakasyapa : Time flies by like a stream of water. The years come and go as impermanent as a spinning wheel. Floral Spring , Moon Fall , Hot Summer , cold winter ; one day passes and another day comes; the old year goes and the new year follows; The incarnation of the Buddha in this Saha world is also getting older and older over the years. Until one day, when at the age of 80, the Buddha had entered nirvana at the Kusinara (passed away - Kusinara). All the disciples were extremely compassionate.Venerable Purna who was of goods in the distance, heard the news , rushed guide practitioners on the Kusinara to funeral, but when the false religions of arrival, the ceremony of tea cupped metallic body of the Buddha was completed from long. The pseudo-religion was extremely sad , but then he also comforted himself that, although the sambhogakaya Buddha is no longer present, the Buddha's dharma body still exists ; Dharma is the Buddha . Known Venerable Mahakasyapa (Mahakasyapa - Mahakassapa) are together with five hundred monks honorable another meeting in the mountains Qi Soap Quật to aggregate the Buddha taught business law, false religions came to it please attend . When the masses saw Phu Lau Na, they were very happy . Venerable Mahakashyapa said: - You came back just in time . Mass aggregation of the teachings of the Buddha was about to finish, and believe that he will agree with the public . After listening carefully to the sutras that were read and recited , the venerable said : - Dear masses! Job aggregation teachings of Buddha by mass advocated , make me very respected. Most things have been compiled me so agree , only visceral Vinaya , the section on "Eight things related to diet" ( food for the night, food cooked separately in his bedroom, food is cooked by oneself, food is not made by offering but is taken by oneself, eaten in the morning after waking up , according to people take-away food , junk fruits, foods produced from stagnant pond water (translator's note) , the public thinks that all eight of these are forbidden , I disagree , because contrary to the will of the Blessed One . If these eight things are forbidden, it will be very inconvenient for the Sangha . Besides, in the past, when rice was expensive, food was difficult to find, or there was a famine, the Blessed One also allowed the application of these eight things. Venerable Mahakashyapa solemnly replied : - You are very correct. The Buddha at one time allowed the application of these eight things, but only when faced with special situations . So the debate occurs and no measures yet resolved . Finally, the venerable Phu Lau Na gave in: Then I have no choice. From now on I only own yourself behaving in what the main things I have heard and previously enlightened field from where the Buddha , also depending precious brothers . Finished speaking, false religions adieu them opportunity , continue on the road of goods . Later, when, where, and when the false venerable passed away, no one knows, and there is no way to verify. We only know that, after the Buddha's death , the false religion still kept the same enthusiasm as when the Buddha was still in the world . The content of the debate with false religions Mahakasyapa past have we seen, while Venerable Great Lettuce is very conservative for the teaching , the Venerable Purna has ideological liberal , liberal more.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.19/8/2021.
