SITUATION SUBJECTS. This is what I have heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at Savatthi, in the Garden of Pure Faith, teaching the Deer Mother Hall, and with a great assembly of monks one thousand two hundred and fifty people. At that time, there were two Brahmins with firm faith who came to the Buddha and asked to leave home to study the Way, one named Brahmā, the other named Brahmā. At that time, the World-Honored One had left the retreat and was walking leisurely in the hall. As soon as she saw the Buddha, she rushed to tell the brahmin: "You know, the Tathagata is currently leaving the retreat to practice in the lecture hall. Should we go there or hear him say something?” When the brahmin heard this, he went to the Buddha's place, bowed his head to the feet of the Buddha, and then followed the Buddha. The Buddha said to Brahmin: "You two were born in the Brahmin lineage, with firm faith, Do you want to go forth and practice in my teachings?" The two replied, "Yes." The Buddha said, "Brahmin, now that you have left home to practice in my teachings, will the other brahmins not hold a grudge against you?" The two replied, “Yes, yes. But hoping for the great grace of the Buddha to be ordained as a monk, we really cannot help but be reproached by the Brahmins." The Buddha said, "What reason do they have against you?" The two replied, "They say, 'My Brahmin lineage is supreme, the others are lowly. Our line is white, the other lines are black. Our Brahmin lineage comes from Brahma, born from Brahma's mouth, is purified in the present moment, and will be purified in the future. Why should you forsake your pure stream and enter the otherworldly Dharma of Gotama? White World Honored One, Seeing that we were in the Buddhadharma and had left home to practice the Way, they criticized us with such words.” The Buddha said to her, "Brahma, you consider these people to be like ignorant fools like animals, lying and claiming that: The Brahmin lineage is the most supreme, Besides that, it's vile. Our line is white, the other lines are black. Our Brahmin lineage originates from Brahma, from the mouth of Brahma, is born in the present and is purified, and then also purified. Now, Ba-tattra, in My unsurpassed Righteous Way, there is no need to count the lineage, not to rely on a mind of pride and arrogance. Secular Dharma needs that. My Dharma is not like that. If there is any recluse or brahmin who self-identifies as to race, holds pride in his heart, then in my teaching, he will not attain the Supreme. If you ordinarily renounce your identity, abandoning your prideful mind, Only then can we realize the unsurpassed path and fruition in my teachings, only then will we be able to accept the true Dharma. People of the world hate lowly people, but my teachings don't." “Hey Lady-t-tra! There are four races including good people and bad people; praised by the wise, and criticized by the wise. Those four races are: Slaughter, Brahmin, Layman, Thudala. “Hey Lady-t-tra! You must have heard that there are murderers, thieves, adulterers, liars, double-tongues, evil talkers, selfish talkers, greedy people, and greedy people. If there are jealous people, there are people with wrong views, then in the lineage of Brahmins, lay people, and Thudalas, there are also all kinds of people who do these ten evil deeds. Hey Lady-t-tra! If you do unwholesome things, you will have unwholesome retribution, and if you do evil things, you will have dark retribution. If that retribution is only available to the Satya, Lay, and Thudala lineages, but not to the Brahmins, then the new Brahmins should consider themselves to be the highest class of our Brahmins, while the other lines are lowly, our line is white, the other lines are black; Our Brahmin lineage emerged from Brahma, born from Brahma's mouth, is pure now, and will be pure in the future. On the contrary, if doing unwholesome things, there is unwholesome retribution, doing dark things, there are dark retributions, that retribution any brahmin, slayman, or thudala have the same. At that time, the Brahmins could not claim to be the purest and most pure of our lineages. “Hey Lady-t-tra! If there is a person in the Satriya lineage who does not kill, steal, engage in sexual misconduct, lie, or use two tongues, or speak harshly, or rely on speech, or harbor greed, envy, or wrong views, then stay in the lineage. Brahmins, lay people, and Thudalas are all such people who practice the ten virtues. For every good deed, there will be good retribution, doing things that are pure will have pure retribution. If that retribution is only available to the Brahmin lineage, but not to the Sasita, Layman, and Thudala lineage, then the Brahmins should claim their lineage as pure and supreme. top rank. On the contrary, if all four races had such retribution, then the Brahmins could not claim that only my lineage was pure and supreme. “Hey Lady-t-tra! Now, the Brahmin lineage is married, has birth like other people, but falsely claims that I am the Brahma lineage, born from the mouth of the Brahma, now purified, and also pure in the future. “Hey Lady-t-tra! You should know that now my disciples, of different generations, of different origins, have left home to practice in my teachings. If you meet someone, ask: What lineage do you belong to? should answer them: I am a monk, a son of the Sakyan family. Or you can call yourself: I am a Brahmin, I was born from the Buddha's mouth, born from the Dharma, and purified now, and will be pure in the future. Why? Because the names of Great Pham are the virtues of the Tathagata. The Tathagata is the eyes of the world, the wisdom of the world, the dharma of the world, the Brahma of the world, the Dharma wheel of the world, the nectar of the world, the lord of the world. “Brahma, if there is a person in the Sāli family lineage who is faithful to the Buddha, who is the Tathagata, the Chi-True, the Perfectly Enlightened One, the ten full names. “Being faithful to the Dharma, believing in the Tathagata's Dharma, is pure and wonderful, able to practice right now, being told about the weather, is the Dharma leading to Nirvana, only the wise can understand it. must be understood by the foolish ordinary people. “The Sangha is faithful, the good nature is direct, the path is accomplished, the relatives are accomplished, the true disciple of the Buddha, the Dharma is accomplished and according to the Dharma. Say them, that is to say they have attained morality, they have attained concentration, they have attained wisdom, they have liberated, they have liberated knowledge. That's them Tu-da-complete direction, Tu-da-complete results; them Tu-da-function direction, Tu-da-jaw results; them Ana-function direction, Ana-function fruit; them A-la-Han direction; they Arahant fruit. Includes four pairs of eight steps. Those are the disciples of the Tathagata, very respectable, worthy of respect, doing the world's meritorious fields; worthy of receiving human offerings. “Faithful Precepts, which are the precepts of the sages, complete, unblemished, unblemished, and unstained, praised by the wise, full of goodness, and quiet, then behold, Ba-ttra, you The Brahmin, Layman, and Thudala may also be like that. Faithful in the Buddha, in the Dharma, in the Sangha, and in the Holy Realm. “Brahma, there are also people in the Shalit family who make offerings, reverently, and worship Arahants. Order of Brahmins, Laypeople, Tsdala also has people who make offerings, revere, and worship Arahants like that. Now, Ba-tattra, now my family, the Sakya family, also worship King Pasanna, worshiping and honoring. King Prassana also came again to make offerings and pay respects to me. The king did not think: Because the recluse Gotama was born of a noble lineage, but I was born of a lowly lineage. The recluse Gotama was born in a house of great wealth and great dignity, while I was born in a lowly family with sleazy and unscrupulous people. Therefore, we must come and make offerings to the Tathagata. But Prassanna was based on the dharma, contemplating the dhamma, knowing the truth and falsehood, so he had a pure heart of faith and came to pay respects and make offerings to the Tathagata. “Now, Ba-ttra, I will make clear for you the cause and effect of these four races. “Heaven and Earth are faithful, when their kalpas are destroyed, all sentient beings are reborn in the Heaven of Light. Being born naturally, eating with the power of thoughts, I emit light and have divine power to fly in the air. "After, The whole earth turns into water that covers all. At that time there was no sun, moon, or stars, nor day or night, year, month, or age. Only a vast dark area. Then gradually the sea and water turned into land. The Gods of Light and Sound came to the end of their blessings and death, and were born in this place. Although he was born there, he still ate with his thoughts, still had divine powers flying away, and his body was still shining. They lived like that for a long time and everyone called each other sentient beings. “Furthermore, out of this land there is a sweet stream that flows like molasses. When they first arrived, the divine nature was still simple and disdainful. Seeing this, they thought to themselves: What is it that we should taste? Immediately dip their fingers in the stream to taste, taste up to three times, feel good, they will eat with their hands without fear and keep eating like that without knowing it's boring. Other sentient beings see and imitate, taste three times, feel good, and then continue to eat, so their bodies become rough, their skin hardens, they lose even the beautiful colors of heaven and earth, their divine power is gone, they have to walk on earth, light The light in the body also disappeared, and the whole sky and earth became dark. “You should know, O-Battattra, the eternal law of heaven and earth, after a time of darkness there are celestial objects: the sun, the moon, and the stars, appearing in the air, and from there, day and night, light and dark begin to appear. , year, number of years. Beings at this time live only by eating the taste of the earth and live long in the world. Those who like to eat a lot, their beauty is raw and ugly, and those who eat less, their beauty is still fresh, so there will be good and bad, righteous people. A virtuous person is arrogant and despises an ugly person. Ugly people are born with envy and hatred for virtuous people. Beings are therefore hostile to each other. “At that time the sweet spring naturally dried up. After, The earth naturally produces fat from the earth, which has a good taste and aroma to eat. Sentient beings take that land to eat, and live long in the world. Those who like to eat a lot, their beauty quickly deteriorates, and those who eat less, their beauty is still fresh; beautiful people are arrogant and condescending to ugly people; Ugly people are jealous and hate beautiful people. Beings therefore argue together forever. Then, the fat of the earth is no longer born as before. Later, this soil again produced the fat of the thick and coarse soil, although it was also delicious and edible, but not as good as before. At that time sentient beings would eat this land and live long in the world. Those who eat a lot, their beauty becomes ugly, and those who eat less, their beauty is still fresh. The virtuous and the ugly keep on disparaging each other and then create arguments and litigation. Since then, good soil will not be born again. Later, this land produced natural rice without husk, full flavor, delicious to eat, living beings take rice to eat, live long in the world; Boys and girls look at each other, gradually develop sexual feelings, find closeness to each other. But when other sentient beings see that, they say: You do wrong, you do wrong, and those who do wrong are kicked out of the group, only after three months will they be allowed to return. “Brahma, what used to be considered wrong is now considered right. Then the other sentient being got used to the illegal law, letting their love fall according to sex, regardless of the weather. Then out of shame the dispensary was created, and from there the world began to have dispensaries. Getting used to evil, lust is increasing, new fetuses are born from impurity and the world begins to have fetuses. “At that time sentient beings ate the natural rice; After taking it, it was born again, infinitely. After that, there is a lazy person who thinks to himself: Eat breakfast in the morning, take it in the afternoon and get it in the afternoon. Spend by taking always enough to eat a day. He took it and kept it to eat for a day. Then a friend called him to fetch rice, he replied: I have taken enough to eat for a day. You can take it if you want. Then the man thought: This man is wise, he stores his food first. Now I also want to store enough food for three days. So it stored the surplus food for three days. When another sentient being asked to go get rice, it replied: I have already stored enough to eat for three days. If you want to take it, go ahead and take whatever you want. That person thinks: That guy is wise, he already knows how to store enough food for three days in advance. So let's imitate it, save it for five days. It went to collect and store food for five days. “After competing with each other for hoarding, sentient beings became wild and began to have husks. Cut and then not naturally regenerate like before. Sentient beings see this in their hearts not happy, There is worry and thinking: I was born at first, living only by thoughts, my body had light and the power to fly away. Then this earth gushed forth sweet springs, which flowed out like delicious edible molasses. We eat together, continue to eat forever. Those who eat a lot will have ugly beauty, those who eat less will have a fresh color. Because of this food, our beauty becomes different. So we all embrace the discord, envy each other. At that time, the sweet spring naturally dried up. Later on, the earth naturally gave birth to the fat of the earth, which had a delicious taste. We take that land and eat it. Those who eat a lot will have ugly beauty, those who eat less will have a fresh color. So we all embrace the discord, envy each other. Then, the fat of the earth no longer produced as before, but instead produced a coarse substance, although it was also delicious to eat. We take it and eat it. Those who eat a lot will have ugly beauty, those who eat less will be happy. All sentient beings, therefore, embrace each other's hearts and minds, envious of each other. Then, the fat of the soil is no longer born as before, but a natural rice without the husk. We take and eat to live a long life. Then the sluggards scrambled to hoard, so the grain became wild, began to have husks, cut it, and did not regrow. Now what to do? “Then they said to each other, Let us divide the land and set up landmarks. They divide the land and set up landmarks. "Brahma, because of this cause and conditions arise the name of the land. “At that time, those sentient beings divided their lands, each established his own territory, and gradually developed the mind of sneaking and stealing each other's grain. When other sentient beings saw it, they said: You do wrong, you do wrong. You already have land, but you still steal from people. From now on, don't do that anymore. But that being still steals forever. The other sentient beings rebuked, but it did not stop, so they beat them with their hands and denounced them, saying: This man has a rice field, but he also stole from others. This guy said: This man hit me. When people see the two sides arguing forever, they are sad and unhappy, saying to each other in a sad way: Beings gradually go to evil, so the world has that unwholesome happening. That evil, unclean thing is the cause of birth, old age, pain, death and suffering in the three evil paths. Because we have our own land, we just have to file a lawsuit, so it's better to set up an owner to handle it. Whoever is worthy of protection, protect, and whoever is reprehensible, rebuke. Each of us reduced the amount of rice to provide for that person to handle the lawsuit. They had just chosen from the crowd a man of great stature, with a dignified appearance, dignified and said: Now, for us, you should become an equal boss. Whenever he sees someone worthy of protection, protect him; whoever is reprehensible, reprimand him; and whoever deserves to be chased, he fires. We will donate rice. “The other person accepted the invitation to become the owner, overseeing and adjudicating the lawsuit. Everyone contributed rice to provide. “The other man used to speak kindly to everyone, and everyone was happy to say, 'Good King! Bless the King! From then on, the world began to have the word king. Taking the righteous law to rule the people, it was called Sati and the world began to be named "Sat-li". “Last time, there was only one person among them who thought like this: The house is a great disaster, the house is a thorn, I would rather leave home and live alone in the mountains and forests to meditate in peace. That person immediately left the house and went to the forest, thinking quietly. When it was time to eat, he brought his bowl and bowl to the village for alms. Everyone who saw it was happy to make offerings, exclaiming: Good thing, this person can leave home and go to the mountains, quietly cultivate the Way, far away from all evil. From then on in the world began the name Brahmin. But among the Brahmins, there are those who do not like to sit quietly and meditate, but prefer in the world to specialize in chanting and reading, and say to themselves, "I am a person who does not meditate." That human being is called "Non-meditation Brahmin" and also because he often enters the human world, he is also called "Human World Brahmin." From that time in the world there was a Brahmin line. "Again, among the other sentient beings, there are people who like to do business and careers, accumulate wealth and treasures, for that reason people call this class a layman. created, so the new world has one more class called Thu-dala skill "Hey Ba-t-tra! Now the world has enough names of four races and the fifth class is the Sa-Mon. This is why, sometimes among the Slaughterers, there are people who are bored with their own Dharma, cut off their beards and hair, wear the Dharma robe, and practice the Way. Hence, the name samana began from there. Among the Brahmins, laypeople, and Thudalas, there were times when someone felt bored with their own Dharma, so they cut off their beards and hair, put on the Dharma robe, and practiced the Way. Hence, the name samana began from there. “Hey Lady-t-tra! A person of the Satriya lineage whose body is unwholesome, his mouth speaks unwholesomely, and his thoughts are unwholesome. When the body breaks up, at the end of his life, he must receive evil retribution. The Brahmin lineage, the Laity lineage, and the Thudala lineage have unwholesome bodily actions, unwholesome speech, and unwholesome thoughts. When the body breaks up, they must also receive the same evil retribution. “Hey Lady-t-tra! If a person of the Shali lineage does good in body, speaks well in his mouth, and has good thoughts, when his body breaks up, he will receive good retribution when his body breaks down. The Brahmins, Laypeople, and Thudalas who do good in their bodies, speak well in their mouths, and have good thoughts, will also enjoy good retribution when the body breaks down. “Hey Grandma- all- tTra! If a Saslit person does both good and evil in terms of body, mouth, and mind, and when the body breaks up and dies, reaping the fruits of both pain and pleasure, then the Brahmin, the Laity, and the Laity. If Thudala does both good and bad deeds in terms of body, mouth, and mind, until the breakup of the body and death, he must also receive the same painful and joyful retribution. “Hey Lady-t-tra! In the Sa-li lineage, there were people who cut their hair and shaved their beards, wore robes, and practiced the seven Dharmas of enlightenment, and soon attained enlightenment. Why? The son of that ethnic family wears the legal profession of renunciation, practices noble virtues, then in the present self-certification, birth and death has ended, the holy life has been established, what needs to be done has been done, no more rebirth. . In the Brahmin lineage, In the Lay lineage and the Thudala lineage, if someone cuts off his hair and beard, wears the Dharma robe, practices the Way, and cultivates the seven Dharmas of enlightenment, he will soon attain the same enlightenment. Why? The son of that ethnic family has left the home life, wearing legal medicine, practicing the unsurpassed virtues, right in the present self-certification, birth and death has ended, the holy life has been established, what needs to be done has been done, there is no longer rebirth. . “Hey Lady-t-tra! All four of those races can give birth to a Arhat, who is fully accomplished in wisdom and virtue, who is the first in those five races. “Hey Lady-t-tra! Brahma has a verse that says: In life, the most murderous. Abandoning the monastic race, becoming fully qualified, Minh Hanh, the best in the world. “Hey Lady-t-tra! Brahma said so, it is true, not incorrect, good life, not unskillful life. At that time, I immediately recognized the words of Brahma. For now I, the Tathagata, Chi Chan, The same meaning is said: In life, the most slaying. Abandoning the monastic race, becoming a full-fledged Minh Hanh, First-class in the world. At that time, having heard the Blessed One speak the Dharma, the Brahmā, the Brahmin, was immediately liberated from the stagnation of the mind. Listening to the Buddha's teachings, joyfully serving.
