45. Little Sutra of Dharma Practice.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH. (Cùladhammasamàdàna sutta) Like this I hear. Once the Blessed One was in Savatthi, at Jetavana, in Anathapindika's vihara. Then the Blessed One called the bhikkhus: -- Hey, monks! -- Yes, venerable sir. Those bhikkhus obeyed the Blessed One. The Blessed One preached as follows: -- Monks, there are these four kinds of practice. how is four? Monks, there is a kind of practice that is pleasurable in the present, and results in suffering in the future. Monks, there is this kind of practice that is painful in the present and the retribution in the future is also painful. Monks, there is this kind of practice that is painful in the present, with pleasant results in the future. There is, bhikkhus, a kind of practice that is pleasurable in the present, and also in the future with its retribution. What, bhikkhus, is the present practice of dharma, which results in suffering in the future? Monks, there are some contemplatives who speak as follows, having the following view: "There is no fault in sensual pleasures". They indulged in sensual pleasures, enjoying themselves with wandering girls whose hair was wrapped around their heads. They said as follows: "How can the venerable recluses and brahmins see the fear of the future of sensual pleasures, speak of the cessation of sensual pleasures, and give rise to the knowledge of sensual pleasures. Pleasure. rather, the touch of the fluffy hands of these young vagabonds!" After immersing themselves in sensual pleasures, when the body breaks up, after death, they must be reborn in an evil realm, an evil destination, a lower realm, and a hell. Here, they experience painful, painful, intense feelings. They said as follows: "These venerable ascetics and brahmins see fear in the future of sensual pleasures, speaking of the cessation of sensual pleasures, raise the understanding of the desires. But we, with these desires as the cause, and with these desires as the conditions, have to experience painful, painful, and severe feelings." Suppose, bhikkhus, at the end of the hot season, a sheath of vine seeds splits open and, bhikkhus, a vine seed falls under a sala tree. Monks, the gods on that sala tree were afraid, trembling, and frightened. Friends, relatives, blood relatives of the gods on that sala tree, the gods of the garden, the gods of the forest, the gods of trees, the gods of herbs, grass, and the forest gathered together to comfort them as follows: "O Venerable, don't do this. Fear not, venerable sir! Because of that seed, the gorilla can swallow it, the deer can eat it, the forest fire can burn it, the forester can pick it up, and the termites can eat it. , or the seed may not germinate". But, bhikkhus, this seed is not swallowed by a gorilla, a deer does not eat it, a forest fire does not burn it, a forest worker does not pick it up, termites do not eat it, and the seed can germinate. With heavy rain thanks to the clouds in season, that seed was grown, and a young, soft, hairy vine slowly grew and adhered to the sala tree. Monks, the gods on that sala tree thought as follows: "I don't understand why these monks, friends, relatives, garden gods, forest gods, tree gods, deities on herbs, grass, and forests, seeing fear in the future in the seed, gathered together and consoled them as follows: "Do not be afraid, venerable sir! O Venerable, have no fear! Because of that seed, the gorilla can swallow it, the deer can eat it, the forest fire can burn it, the foresters can pick it up, the termites can eat it, or the seed might not germinate." Pleasure to the touch of a soft, hairy young vine clinging to it!" That creeper can cover that sala tree and, once covered, make a canopy over that tree, and below arose a dense grove of trees. When an entire grove of trees emerges below, the large branches of that sala tree can be strangled. Then, bhikkhus, the deities residing on that sala tree thought thus: "It is because of this fear of the future, in the seed of that creeper, that venerable ones, friends, relatives, and relatives by bloodline. At that time, the gods of the garden, the gods of the forest, the gods of the trees, the gods of the herbs, the grass, and the forest, gathered together and comforted them as follows: "Do not be afraid, venerable sir! O Venerable, do not be afraid! Because of that seed, the gorilla can swallow it, the deer can eat it, the forest fire can burn it, the foresters can pick it up, the termites can eat it, or the seed might not germinate." And now I, for the cause of the vines seed, experience painful, painful, and fierce feelings." The large branches of that sala tree can be strangled. Then, bhikkhus, the deities residing on that sala tree thought thus: "It is because of this fear of the future, in the seed of that creeper, that venerable ones, friends, relatives, and relatives by bloodline. At that time, the gods of the garden, the gods of the forest, the gods of the trees, the gods of the herbs, the grass, and the forest, gathered together and comforted them as follows: "Do not be afraid, venerable sir! O Venerable, do not be afraid! Because of that seed, the gorilla can swallow it, the deer can eat it, the forest fire can burn it, the foresters can pick it up, the termites can eat it, or the seed might not germinate." And now I, for the cause of the vines seed, experience painful, painful, and fierce feelings." The large branches of that sala tree can be strangled. Then, bhikkhus, the deities residing on that sala tree thought thus: "It is because of this fear of the future, in the seed of that creeper, that venerable ones, friends, relatives, and relatives by bloodline. At that time, the gods of the garden, the gods of the forest, the gods of the trees, the gods of the herbs, the grass, and the forest, gathered together and comforted them as follows: "Do not be afraid, venerable sir! O Venerable, do not be afraid! Because of that seed, the gorilla can swallow it, the deer can eat it, the forest fire can burn it, the foresters can pick it up, the termites can eat it, or the seed might not germinate." And now I, for the cause of the vines seed, experience painful, painful, and fierce feelings." It is because of this fear of the future, in that creeping seed, that these venerable ones, close friends, relatives, garden gods, forest gods, tree gods, gods on herbs , grass, forest, gathered together and consoled as follows: "Do not be afraid, venerable sir! Venerable, do not be afraid! Because of that seed, the magpie can swallow, the deer can eat, Wildfires can burn, foresters can pick them up, termites can eat them, or seeds can't germinate." And now I, for the cause of the vines seed, experience painful, painful, and fierce feelings." It is because of this fear of the future, in that creeping seed, that these venerable ones, close friends, relatives, garden gods, forest gods, tree gods, gods on herbs , grass, forest, gathered together and consoled as follows: "Do not be afraid, venerable sir! Venerable, do not be afraid! Because of that seed, the magpie can swallow, the deer can eat, Wildfires can burn, foresters can pick them up, termites can eat them, or seeds can't germinate." And now I, for the cause of the vines seed, experience painful, painful, and fierce feelings." In the same way, bhikkhus, there are some ascetics and brahmins who speak as follows, having the following view: 'There is no fault in sensual pleasures'. These people indulge in sensual pleasures, they delight in wandering girls with their hair wrapped around their heads. They said as follows: "How can those venerable ascetics and brahmins see the fear of the future of sensual pleasures, speak of the cessation of sensual pleasures, and expound the knowledge of sensual pleasures. rather, the touch of this young vagabond's fluffy hand!" After immersing themselves in sensual pleasures, when the body breaks up, after death, they must be reborn in an evil realm, an evil destination, a lower realm, and a hell. Here, they experience painful, painful, intense feelings. They said as follows: "The venerable recluses and brahmins see the fear of the future of sensual pleasures, speak of the cessation of sensual pleasures, and raise the understanding of sensual pleasures. But we, for the sake of these desires, What, bhikkhus, is the practice of the present suffering and the retribution also suffering in the future?
