The plowman (Nikaya). Once, the Blessed One was staying at Magadha, in the village of Ekanàlà. Now it was time for sowing, and the Brahmin Kasi Bharadvaja was setting about five hundred plowshares, and was distributing food to the workers when the Blessed One came. The brahmin Kasi Bharadvaja, seeing the Blessed One standing begging for food, saw this and said: 'Sammon, I plow and sow seed. After plowing and sowing, I eat. And you, do you plow and sow the seed, if not, what do you eat? Brahmin, I also plow and sow seed, and after plowing and sowing, I eat. But we never saw his yoke, plow, plowshare, staff, or oxen. He said he was a farmer but never saw him plowing. Tell us you really do farm. Brahmin: Faith is the seed, austerity is the rain of hooks, wisdom is to me the plow and the yoke, the noble one is the plow handle, the mind faculty is the rope. Mindfulness for us is the plowshare, the stick... that brings us forward gradually, safely from the yoke, going forward without turning back, where we go without sorrow. Thus plowing this field, leading to immortal fruit, after plowing this field, all suffering is freed.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.31/3/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
