THE DOWN RUN. The afternoon sun in the west scattered the last remaining rays of the sun, leaving the earth. It was in this twilight that the Buddha was walking near the Jetavana Monastery, and Venerable Sāriputta slowly followed. The two of them had walked a distance, suddenly saw an old hungry falcon, chasing a dove, the dove was frightened to flee and quickly flew to hide next to Buddha, dove. Because he wisely chose to sit next to the Buddha, the eagle did not dare to come and do harm. Thanks to that, it was at peace, and the panic from earlier also disappeared. When the Buddha continued to step forward, his body moved forward, inadvertently, the shadow of Sariputra was close to the bird, it showed panic and fear. When Sariputra saw this, he immediately said to the Buddha: - World-Honored One! Why is it that the dove that is beside you does not panic, but when I am near it, Is it shaking so much? The Buddha replied: - O Sariputra, although the three poisons have been eliminated, the habit has not ended, so when you are near the bird, it still panics. Then the Buddha ordered Shariputra: - How long has it been since you looked at this bird's predestined life? Sariputra immediately entered samadhi, after a while he came out of samadhi, saying: - This dove has fallen into being a bird for eighty thousand kalpas, and has been a dove in every life, but why does it have to fall as a dove? I don't know the bird body. The Buddha said to Sariputra: - You do not know the past life of the bird, so let's observe its future life to see when it will escape from the bird life and become a human again? Shariputra entered samadhi for a while and then said: - World-Honored One! The disciple only knows that this bird has been the body of a bird for eighty thousand kalpas, When it will become a human being, the disciples do not know. Buddha said: - This dove in the past life has committed crimes: murder, religion, lust, hope ... until it has paid off countless lifetimes of being a bird, then it will be human. Having lived in humanity for 500 lifetimes, at that time, when a Buddha emerges from the world, he will become a monk and follow the Buddha's Dharma. After three Asanga kalpas, diligently cultivating the six perfections, passing through the Bodhisattvas of the Ten Grounds, finally became a Buddha. Sariputra heard the Buddha finished speaking, praising: - Disciple's poor wisdom, even a dove is not familiar with its past and future... The Buddha's wisdom is profound. The disciple vows to devote himself to practice in order to gain profound insight and wisdom from the Buddha, which can be generous and helpful to sentient beings.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.22/9/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
