The Buddha did not see anyone as an enemy.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH. The Buddha equally teaches sentient beings tirelessly, does not know boredom, does not resent those who harm him, but is also tolerant and generous, giving them the opportunity to correct their mistakes. Second, he said according to the basis of sentient beings the appropriate Dharma to help them transform their suffering and pain into peace and happiness. The prestige and reputation of the Buddha became more and more resounding, especially in Sāvatthi. People come to Ky Vien Vihara to make offerings to the Buddha and the Sangha, and at the same time listen to the Buddha's teachings on cause and effect, humanism and enlightenment-liberation teachings. The non-Buddhist people saw this, so they became even more angry because their rights were getting worse and worse, the people who had made offerings to them now have switched to making offerings and have developed the mind to practice and study according to the Buddha's teachings. The Buddha's noble deeds and actions have left a lasting fragrance in the world, helping us to know how to master ourselves and live peacefully and happily. Our Buddha in the past was also slandered and humiliated by many people in front of kings and mandarins. When the girl pretended to be pregnant and shamed him in front of the public while he was giving a sermon, he was still at peace, without words to correct and vindicate himself. The truth is still the truth, how could it be that while she was acting, her fake pregnant belly fell, she was so embarrassed that she quickly ran away. Not long after that happened, another terrible, terrible and cruel, barbaric incident shook the hearts of the whole country. The vile, lowly people who wanted to harm Buddha this time launched a decisive blow. They wanted to boycott the entire Buddhist congregation, so they plotted a thousand times more sophisticated. This time, they hired alcoholics to kill a beautiful young girl, then hid it in the Vihara where the Buddha lived and reported to the king and mandarins that their pious girl had been missing recently. They asked the king to find a way to find the pious girl. King Pasena opened an investigation and eventually everyone found out that she had been killed and her body was buried in the Vihara. The truth is so clear, there is no doubt about it because everyone has heard and seen it. So who is the culprit who killed the girl and buried her in Buddha's place? Buddha? It is impossible for such a thing to happen, nor can a disciple of Buddha do the same. He spoke according to the basis of sentient beings and spoke the appropriate Dharma to help them transform their suffering and pain into peace and happiness. No matter what part of society, when meeting the Buddha, they will be benefited and happy. The bad guys at this time took advantage of the opportunity to put the girl's body in the car and drove it around the city of Xa Ve and spread the word that the monk Gotama had forced the girl to death. The incident happened so suddenly that King Tu Nac did not know how to solve it. He knew well that the Buddha was formerly Prince Siddhartha, whose wife was the most beautiful beauty queen at that time and had hundreds of beautiful concubines but still gave up everything to live a simple monastic life. The king was convinced that this was a malicious conspiracy of evil people because of their selfish greed, jealousy, and envy, to create a terrible story to slander and humiliate the Buddha. The investigation began, the king sent out many brilliant talented detectives everywhere to find out information. The four groups of monastic and lay disciples are sad, anxiously waiting for the final result. Particularly, the evil people take this opportunity to advertise, propagate and spread the news that the girl, raped and killed by the recluse Gotama, was raped, killed, and buried in the Vihara. At this time, those who know the way can only wait for the results of the investigation to whitewash the Buddha. People who do not understand the Way curse the Buddha for being so cruel and heartless. Those who slander and those who curse cause riots throughout the city of Sa Ve. The Buddha equally teaches sentient beings not to be tired, not bored, not resentful of those who harm him, but also tolerant and generous to give them the opportunity to correct their mistakes. An emergency order was issued for a 24-hour curfew, all monks must stay in one place, no one is allowed to leave the residence until the case is investigated, if anyone violates it will be beheaded immediately. One day passed, two days passed but still no bright news. Many people are dissatisfied, bored, disappointed, worried about the harsh truth. There has never been a murder like this before. But heaven does not harm people right away, cause and effect are very fair. If you sow the wind, you will reap a storm. If you kill someone, you will be killed. On the third day, the special case committee found a clue to bring purity to the Buddha and the congregation. Everyone who heard the news also breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced in their hearts because the great tribulation had passed. The number is that the alcoholics, after killing the girl, received a large amount of money from the bad guys, due to unequal distribution, while eating and drinking, they argued, fought more or less and were discovered by the military. neck grab. So they were all brought back to the palace to await trial, they were so scared that they confessed that some infidels had hired them to kill the girl to boycott the Buddha's congregation. The king was so angry that he immediately caught the mastermind and threw it into the pit of the fire to burn it alive, the hired killers were imprisoned in prison waiting for the next trial. In the colorful and colorful life, people who know are few, but those who see mistakes are too many. Society is increasingly complex in terms of management, education of social evils and ways to transform evils so that people are aware that this life requires love for humanity to be able to overcome obstacles together. life trap. Such a thing happened, but Buddha was still calm, peaceful, not wavering in the face of the humiliation and humiliation that was too heavy. Buddha did not correct or vindicated but still quietly waited for the actual results. Buddha is peaceful, free, and immovable in the face of all life's fluctuations, so today we worship Buddha, respectfully bow to the Buddha because of his sublime personality, and try to imitate his practice to overcome the pitfalls. previous life Eight winds of gain and loss, praise and criticism, fame and bad reputation, and pleasure and pain. The Buddha equally teaches sentient beings not to be tired, not bored, not resentful of those who harm him, but also tolerant and generous to give them the opportunity to correct their mistakes. Second, he said according to the basis of sentient beings the appropriate Dharma to help them transform their suffering and pain into peace and happiness. No matter what part of society, when meeting the Buddha, they will be benefited and happy. Since the human world has been present in this vast universe for food and life, wars never cease due to failure to keep the 5 precepts of the Buddha. It is the Buddha's noble deeds and actions that have left a lasting fragrance in the world, helping us to know how to master ourselves and live peacefully and happily. The fragrance of flowers, no matter how sweet, is not equal to the fragrance of virtuous people who always fly against the wind, leaving the world with a loving and understanding heart. In a colorful and colorful life, there are few people who know, but too many people who see mistakes. Society is increasingly complex in terms of management, education of social evils and ways to transform evils so that people are aware that this life requires love for humanity to be able to overcome obstacles together. life trap. Learn old stories so that we can see that people, because of their delusion of self-grasping, consider themselves to be the center of the universe, the supreme being, the superior, so they have the right to sit first and enjoy worldly pleasures. It is because of these unfortunate mistakes that since people have been present in life, they have been in conflict with each other to compete for fame and gain. Big bullies small, strong bullies weak according to the rules of loan repayment, loan repayment. In order to preserve our own lives, we are willing to kill each other. We do not use intoxicating substances with addictive effects such as poker, drugs, and alcohol that damage nerves, leading to delusion and madness in this life and the next. - Since the human world has been present in this vast universe for food and life, wars never cease due to failure to keep the 5 precepts of Buddhism. The more people develop and progress, the more nature, resources, and even animals are destroyed cruelly and brutally because of the human food. Buddha out of compassion for sentient beings who are still diving, immersed in the sea of ​​suffering and passion, he compassionately devised 5 Precepts to help people reduce social evils, but together love, protect and help. each other in the spirit of sharing joy and suffering. - We do not kill, do not eat sentient beings, do not cause suffering to anyone, then this world will live happily together in harmony and peace will be everywhere. – We do not want to be greedy, steal, cheat from anyone, but also share and help people when needed with the spirit of compassion and wisdom, this world will be a paradise of happiness. – We happily live in a monogamous husband and wife, always keeping our sincerity, understanding and forgiving each other; know how to shoulder, diligently work to support each other; If you know how to raise children properly and know how to be respectful and filial to your parents, then the realm of ecstasy will appear. – We always speak the truth, do not lie to each other; always speak softly and easily; do not speak harsh words, curses, throat hooks, carnage or sweet words to seduce the gullible, gullible, and flattery. We should speak words of love so that we and others can understand, forgive, tolerate and be generous. Why do we often get angry and then quarrel and beat each other so that husband and wife separate, father and son separate because of unreasonable things? We do not use intoxicating substances with addictive effects such as poker, drugs, and alcohol that damage nerves, leading to delusion and madness in this life and the next. Those who keep the 5 Buddhist Precepts live a peaceful and happy life without causing suffering to people and animals. During the Buddha's time in the world, a monk insulted two venerable monks, Sariputra and Muc Kien Lien, with evil words. The Buddha knew the root cause of it, so he advised and prevented it many times, but the monk still did not listen. Due to the cause of defamation and humiliation of the two saints, after a while, the monk suffered from cancer, full of pain, tormented, miserable and finally died. The Buddha knew that this bhikkhu, after his death, would go to hell and suffer innumerable eons of suffering, so he gathered the assembly and only taught that: "The deluded person dies because of indiscriminate speech like a sharp hammer in his mouth, that's why the monks You should be careful in your words. Speaking in the right place, in the right place, with the truth and with the right audience, will unfortunately avoid unfortunate mistakes. Evil words are more harmful than fire and poisonous snakes, causing mankind to kill each other mercilessly out of anger and enmity. Likewise with our spiritual practice, we must first subdue our thoughts, not allowing them to smolder within, but emitting malicious and destructive words. Why do we often get angry and then quarrel and beat each other so that husband and wife separate, father and son separate because of unreasonable things? We refuse to open our eyes, but consider carefully while the words are like the wind in our ears. We fight over words, words, and clothes that unintentionally cause pain to each other. The Buddha said this sutta to remind bhikkhus to be aware of the practice and tame the sesshin from thought, word to action. We have to say how so that family, relatives, and friends are imbued with the Buddha's teachings and love each other and speak respectfully. That monk had the good fortune to be born and meet the Buddha, was ordained as a monk, but did not take the time to purify his mind, but rather attached to it, clinging to his wrong views, so he unintentionally defamed. blasphemy of the saints; was advised by the Buddha many times, but this disciple still had a stubborn side, so he suffered in the present life, suffering from scabies, and finally falling into hell when he died. Likewise with our spiritual practice, we must first subdue our thoughts, not allowing them to smolder within, but emitting malicious and destructive words. The main cause is anger or dissatisfaction, satisfaction with something, so we lose our temper and angrily say angry words. We don't share our benefits, so our compassion is crippled, we are not happy with the benefits others have, so our joy is not open. In the past, there were bhikkhus who practiced so negligently and were directly advised and taught by the Buddha, but still refused to change, and eventually had to suffer the consequences of living and dying. Nowadays, it is too far from the Buddha's time, so there is a strong struggle to fight over defeat to protect the Dharma School. Everyone thinks that their Fa is high and the other Tong is low, so they easily oppose and defame each other. We do not know that the Buddha's teaching is to give medicine depending on the disease, depending on the basis, level and preferences of each person that the Buddha guides the appropriate Dharma practice. The reason we say angry words is because we mistake ourselves to be right and the wrong person. Those who do not do as they please, we get angry, angry and then create enmity and hatred that seek to destroy each other. From seeing mistakes that we stubbornly insist on, what the former says, the latter imitates them, so there is criticism and mutual humiliation that unintentionally defame the Buddha's teachings. Greed, anger, delusion, and jealousy are the three things that are stored up after many lives of sentient beings. Greed and clinging to respect and benefit, we are unwilling to share our interests with others, leading to enmity and hatred. Therefore, living in life we ​​need to discern right from wrong and master ourselves to overcome life's pitfalls. At this time, the Buddha was exonerated, but still advised the king: "Great king! Due to being manipulated by greed, anger, and delusion, these three poisons have obscured the pure nature of man. Please, the king, ease their sins so that they have a chance to repent and renew themselves." The more the King was impressed by the selfless and selfless heart of the Buddha, so that the prestige of the Buddha and the Sangha spread further and further, the faith of all Buddhist followers became more and more solid. Greed, anger, delusion, and jealousy are the three things that are stored up after many lives of sentient beings. Greed and clinging to respect and benefit, we are unwilling to share our interests with others, leading to enmity and hatred. We don't share our benefits, so our compassion is crippled, we are not happy with the benefits others have, so our joy is not open.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.21/12/2021.
