Majjhima Nikaya 50. The Majjhima Nikaya Sutra (Màratajjanìya sutta) Thus I heard. Once the venerable Maha Moggallana was living among the Bhaggas, in Sumsumaragira, in the Bhessakalavana forest, in the Deer Park. At that time, Venerable Maha Moggallana was walking in the open air. Then the Devil entered the venerable Maha Moggallana's belly, and was in his stomach. Then the venerable Maha Moggallana thought thus: "Now, why is my belly so heavy as if something were piled up too much?" Then the venerable Maha Moggallana alighted from his meditation practice, entered the monastery, and sat on the seat prepared. After sitting, Venerable Maha Moggallana was mindful of himself. Venerable Maha Moggallana saw that the Devil, after entering his stomach, was in his stomach. Seeing this, the Venerable said to Evil: -- Come out, Evil! Come out, Evil! Do not disturb the Tathagata and the disciples of the Tathagata. Do not make you unhappy, long suffering! Then the demon thought, "This recluse does not know me, does not see me, and says thus: 'Go out, Evil! Come out Evil! Do not disturb the Tathagata, and disciples of the Tathagata. Don't make you unhappy and suffer for a long time." Even the Guru himself didn't know me so quickly, how could this disciple know me?" Then Venerable Maha Moggallana said to the Devil again: -- O Devil, I know You. Don't think: "He doesn't know me". You are the Devil. This is what you think, Evil: "This recluse, who does not know me, does not see me, says thus: 'Go out, Evil! Come out Evil! Do not disturb the Tathagata and disciples of the Tathagata. Don't make you unhappy and suffer for a long time!" Even the Guru himself didn't know me so quickly, how could this disciple know me?" Then the Evil One thought thus: "This recluse knows me, sees me, and says thus: 'Come out, Evil! Come out, Evil! Do not disturb the Tathagata and the disciples of the Tathagata. Do not cause you to be unhappy or suffer for a long time." Then the Devil came out from the mouth of the Venerable Maha Moggallana, and leaned against the mouth. Venerable Maha Moggallana saw the Devil leaning against the mouth, and said to the Devil: -- Devil, here I see you too. You must not think: "He does not see me". O Devil, you are now standing at the mouth of your mouth. Hey Evil, once upon a time, I was a Demon named Dusi, and her name was Kali. You are her son. So you are my nephew. At that time, Evil One, the Blessed One Kakusandha, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One was born. The Blessed One Kakusandha, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One, had two disciples named Vidhura and Sanjiva, the two supreme beings, two sages. Demon, for the disciples of the Blessed One Kakusandha, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One, there is no one here who can equal the Venerable Vidhura in teaching the Dharma. For this reason, Evil One, Venerable Vidhura is called Vidhura (Unparalleled). And Venerable Sanjiva is a person who goes to the forest, walks to the root of a tree, goes to places where there are no people, and attains the cessation of perception and life without any difficulty. Demon, once upon a time, the venerable Sanjiva was sitting under a tree in the cessation of perception and life. Demons, cowherds, herdsmen, farmers, and pilgrims, seeing the venerable Sanjiva sitting under a tree, seeing this, they said to each other, "It's wonderful, hey. It's very rare, venerable ones! This recluse died but was still sitting. Let's cremate him!" Then behold, the devil, the herdsmen, the herdsmen, the farmers, and the travelers gathered grass, Wood and cow dung piled up on Venerable Sanjiva's body, lit a fire and left. Demon, Venerable Sanjiva, after that night had ended, immediately emerged from samadhi, brushed off his robe, put on his robes, took his bowl and robe, and entered the village for alms. O Demon, the cowherds, herdsmen, farmers, and pilgrims, seeing the Venerable Sanjiva going for alms, saw this and thought: "How wonderful, venerable ones! How rare, dear friends! This recluse died but was still sitting, now he is resurrected." For this reason, Evil One, the venerable Sanjiva is called Sanjiva, Sanjiva. Demon, then Demon Dusi thought thus: "I do not know the coming and going of these bhikkhus of good conduct and dharma. So now let us enter the household of Brahmins and said thus: "Come, slander, slander, reproach and harass bhikkhus who are virtuous and good-natured. Due to defamation, slander, blamed and harassed by You, they can change their minds and thus, the Demon Dusi has the opportunity to dominate them. Then, Evil One, the Demon Dusi entered the household of Brahmins and slandered, insulted, reprimanded, and harassed the bhikshus of virtue and good character, as follows: "Those bald-headed , fake sa-mon, unscrupulous slave, black slave, born from this heel. They say: "We practice meditation, we practice meditation" and with drooping shoulders, face down, foolishly enamored, meditating, meditating, ignorant meditating, foolish meditating. Like an owl perched on a tree branch while stalking a mouse; meditation practice, passionate meditation, ignorant meditation, wild meditation; likewise, the bald ones, the false ascetics, the unscrupulous slaves, the black slaves, are born from this heel. They say, "We practice meditation, we practice meditation." And with his shoulders drooping, with his face down, infatuated with foolishness, practicing meditation, infatuated with meditation, ignorant of meditation, foolish meditation. For example, a child pretends to be on the riverbank while watching fish; meditation practice, passionate meditation, ignorant meditation, wild meditation; likewise, the bald ones, the false ascetics, the unscrupulous slaves, the black slaves, are born from this heel. They say: "We practice meditation, we practice meditation" and with drooping shoulders, face down, foolishly enamored, meditating, meditating, ignorant meditating, foolish meditating. For example, a cat sitting by a pile of garbage, while waiting for a mouse; meditation practice, passionate meditation, ignorant meditation, wild meditation; likewise, the bald ones, the false ascetics, the unscrupulous slaves, the black slaves, are born from this heel. They say: "We practice meditation, we practice meditation" and with drooping shoulders, face down, foolishly enamored, meditating, meditating, ignorant meditating, foolish meditating. For example, a donkey, the burden is put down, is practicing meditation, infatuated with meditation, delusional in meditation, foolish in meditation; likewise, the bald ones, the false ascetics, the unscrupulous slaves, the black slaves, born from this heel. They say, "We practice meditation, we practice meditation", and with their shoulders drooped, with their faces down, foolishly enamored, meditating, meditative, delusional, foolishly meditating. Now, most of these people, after the breakup of their bodies, after death, must be reborn in the bad realms, in the bad destinations, in the lower realms, in hell. - Stilts: "--Bhikkhus, the brahmin householders were possessed by the Demon Dusi and said: 'Come, slander, slander, reprimand and harass the virtuous bhikkhus. and good nature. Due to being slandered, insulted, reprimanded and harassed by You, they can change their minds, and thus the Demon Dusi has a chance to dominate them." Come, bhikkhus, to perfect one direction with a mind connected with lovingkindness, and abide, likewise in the second, likewise in the third, so is the fourth. Thus throughout the world, above, below, across, all regions, and all over the boundless, abiding and pervading with a mind that is united with loving-kindness, generous, boundless, free from hatred, and without anger. With a mind of association with compassion... with a mind of association with joy..., turning in a direction with a mind of association with equanimity, and then staying; so is the second, so is the third, so is the fourth. Thus throughout the whole world, above, below, across, all regions, and all over the boundless, abiding and pervading with a mind that is united with equanimity, generous, boundless, without hatred, without anger." Demons, those bhikkhus were thus encouraged by the Blessed One, Kakusandha, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One, and thus exhorted, went to the grove, to the foot of the tree, to the places that were not deserted, turn satisfied one side with the mind of the relationship with the word and then settle down; so is the second, so is the third; so is the fourth. Thus throughout the world, above, below, across, all regions, and all over the boundless, abiding and pervading with a mind that is united with loving-kindness, generous, boundless, free from hatred, and without anger. With a mind of association with compassion... with a mind of association with joy... turn in one direction with a mind of association with equanimity and then stay; so is the second, so is the third, so is the fourth. Thus, throughout the world, above, below, across, all regions, and all over the boundless, abiding and pervading with a mind that is united with equanimity, generous, boundless, without hatred, without anger. Mara Dusi, then Mara Dusi thought thus: "By doing this, I cannot know the arrival or departure of the monks who are virtuous and good-natured. So let's enter the Brahmins. and said as follows: "Come and praise, respect, pay homage, and make offerings to these bhikkhus of good conduct and good character. By being praised, respected, bowed down, and made offerings, they can change their minds and thus, the Demon Dusi has the opportunity to dominate them.” Then, Demon, Demon Dusi possessed the Ladies-- householder la-mon and said, "Come and praise, respect, pay homage, and make offerings to the bhikkhus who are virtuous and good-natured. Those who are praised, respected, worshiped, and offered to you by you can change their minds, and thus the Evil One Dusi will have the opportunity to dominate them." Then, Evil, householder Brahmins , being invaded by the Demon Dusi, praises, respects, pays homage to, and makes offerings to the bhikkhus of good conduct and good character. At the end of life, one will be reborn in a good destination, in the heavenly world, and in this life. The brahmins of the household were infiltrated by the Demon Dusi and said thus: "Come and praise, respect, pay homage, and make offerings to the bhikkhus who are virtuous and good-natured. Your praise, respect, homage, and offerings can change your mind and thus the Demon Dusi will have the opportunity to dominate them." Monks, you should live contemplating the impurity of the body, contemplating displeasure with food, contemplating inability to please all the world, contemplating impermanence with respect to all formations." And Demon, those bhikkhus, thus encouraged by the Blessed One Kakusandha, thus exhorted, went to the grove, went to the foot of a tree, went to empty places, contemplating the impurity of the body, (contemplation) the perception of boredom with regard to food, (contemplation) the perception of inability to please all worlds, contemplation of impermanence with respect to all formations. The Blessed One, Kakusandha, an Arahant, Fully Enlightened One, put on robes and bowls in the morning, with Venerable Vidhura as his attendant, entered the village for alms. Then, Demon, Demon Dusi possessed a child, took a stone, and hit Venerable Vidhura on the head, causing it to break. Then, Evil One, the venerable Vidhura, with his head broken and bleeding, was still walking behind the Blessed One Kakusandha, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One. Then, Evil One, the Blessed One, the Arahant Kakusandha, the Perfectly Enlightened One, looked around with his gaze upon the king's elephant, and thought thus: "Indeed, the Demon Dusi does not know moderation." Demon, when the Blessed One looked around, the Demon Dusi died from there and was reborn in the hell realm. This hell, demon, has three names: the six contact hells, the iron passing through hell, and the long-suffering hell. Then the hell-keepers came to me and said thus: "Venerable sir, Different color jewelry. The bhikkhu-stilts disciple of the Buddha, Understanding thus. Because you beat the Male-stilts, Kanha suffered life, 3. Who was the World Honored One encouraged, Witnessed by the monks, With shaking toes, Vijayanta Castle! The bhikkhu-stilts disciple of the Buddha, Understanding thus. Because you beat Male-stilts, Kanha suffered life, 4. With toes shaking Vijayanta Castle? Full of divine power, the gods also panic. The bhikkhu-stilts disciple of the Buddha, Understanding thus. Because you beat the Male-stilts, Kanha suffered life,! 5. Who asked the Sakka, At the Vijayanta floor, Sage, Do you know, Enduring love for liberation? Sakka was sincere, Answering the question asked. The bhikkhu-stilts disciple of the Buddha, Understanding thus. Because you beat the Male-stilts, Kanha suffered life, 6. Who ever asked Brahma, At the assembly of Good Dharma, the sage still clings, The old wrong views, Have you seen the glorious scene, Pham Thien Realm Heaven? Brahma was sincere, Continue to answer the question: Venerable, I do not accept, The old wrong views! I see the splendor, Brahma the heavenly realm! How can I now say, I am permanent now? The bhikkhu-stilts disciple of the Buddha, Understanding thus. Because you beat the bhikkhu-stilts, Kanha suffered a long life! 7. Who with the liberation, Emotions High mountain peak, East Forest Videha, And the person lying on the ground, Male-stilts disciple Buddha, Understanding so. Because you beat a bhikkhu, Kanha suffered a long life. 8. Indeed fire does not think: "I burn the fool", The fool attacks the fire, Burns himself. In the same way, Evil One, you raid the Tathagata. Burning himself Like a fool touches fire, Evil creates evil karma, By harassing the Tathagata, do you think, Evil, "Evil fruit does not come to me". The evil done by the Devil, Long stored, Evil, avoid the Buddha, Do not expect the Male-stilts! Male-stilts against Evil, In the forest of Bhesakala, the Yaksha, disappointed, Disappeared there.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.29/1/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
