THE SUCCESSFUL SUCCESSFUL SUCCESSFULLY. This is what I have heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at Malahesu, traveling in the world, accompanied by one thousand two hundred and fifty bhikkhus, gradually coming to the country of Mala. Then the Blessed One said to the monks: "Bhikkhus, light yourselves. Light up in the Dharma, don't light it elsewhere. Take refuge in yourself, take refuge in the Dharma, do not rely on any other place.. “Bhikkhus, how is it to light yourself up; light up in the Dharma, don't light it elsewhere; Take refuge in yourself, take refuge in the Dharma, don't rely on any other place? “Here, a bhikkhu contemplating the body on the internal body, diligently does not become lazy, mindful without forgetting, abandons covetousness and grief in the world. Contemplating the body on the external body, contemplating the body on the internal and external body, diligently not being lazy, mindful not forgetting, get rid of greed and greed in life. Contemplation of life, contemplation of mind, and contemplation of Dharma are the same. That is the Bhikkhu-stilts to light yourself; light up in the Dharma, don't light it elsewhere; Take refuge in yourself, take refuge in the Dharma, and do not rely on any other place. Practicing like this will not be harmed by ghosts, and the merit will increase day by day. Why? “In the distant past, there was a king named Kien Co Nien, who was the Eminent King of the Shali lineage, who became the Wheel-Changing King, who ruled over the four continents of the world. At that time, the king was the One who was free, ruled by the righteous law, and was the supreme one among men. The king has all seven kinds of treasure: a precious golden wheel, a precious white elephant, a precious green horse, a jeweled god, a precious female jewel, a treasured layman, and a treasured army master. And there are a thousand mighty sons, capable of defeating the enemy. The king does not need to use troops, but the world is at peace. “King Keen Co Nian reigned for a long time, one day the precious golden wheel in the air suddenly left its place. The person looking at the folding wheel came to the king: Dear Great King, you should know, the precious wheel now leaves the old place. After hearing this, King Keen Co Niem thought, "I have heard the veterans of the past say: If the precious wheel leaves its place, the life of the wheel-turning-royal king will not be long. Now that I have enjoyed happiness in the human realm, I should find a way to enjoy heavenly blessings. Let's make a crown prince to rule the four continents, and set aside a hamlet for barbers to cut off hair and beards, then wear the medical robes and become monastic. “Then King Kien Co Niem sent to call the crown prince and said: Do you know? I have heard the veterans say, if the wheel of jewels leaves its place, the life of the Wheel-turning-King will not be long. Now that I have enjoyed happiness in the human realm, I should find a way to enjoy the blessings of heaven and earth. Now I want to shave off my beard and hair, wear the three legal robes, and go forth to practice the Way. I entrust the four continents to you. Do your best, love the people. After the crown prince died. King Keen Co Niem immediately shaved off his hair and beard, wore three legal robes, and left home to practice the Way. “After the king left home for seven days, the golden wheel suddenly stopped appearing. The wheel watcher came to the king: Great king should know, now the golden wheel suddenly disappears. King is not happy. Then he went to King Kien Co Niem. After arriving, he said: Father should know, now the golden wheel suddenly does not appear anymore. King Perseverance Nian replied to me: Don't worry about it being unhappy. That golden wheel was not made by your father. You just need to try to do the righteous dharma of the Holy King, then on the full moon day, bathed in incense, went up to sit in the main hall, surrounded by women, immediately a god told the golden wheel to appear spontaneously. The wheel has a thousand spokes, full color, is the work of the craftsman, not the human. “The Crown Prince to the King: Father, what is the true Dharma of the Holy King Rotating the Wheel of the Holy King? What to do?. The king told me: Rely on the dharma, establish on the dharma, achieve in the dharma; reverent, respect, observe the dharma; take the dharma as the head, protect the dharma. Again, instruct the female bodies with the Dharma. Again, take care and teach princes, ministers, mandarins, hundred mandarins, and common people with the Dharma. Protect and take care of ascetics, brahmins, even animals. Then the king said to his son: Again, in your land, if there are recluses and brahmins who practice well and are full of merit, diligent effort, far away from arrogance, patient and loving kindness, alone in leisure practice, alone in rest, alone reach Nirvana; destroy lust by oneself, teach others to eliminate lust; self-extermination of ill-will, teach others to eliminate impurity; self-exterminate stupidity, teach others to eliminate stupidity; where they are tainted they are unpolluted, where they are evil they are not evil in, the body acts directly, the mouth speaks directly, the thoughts are straight; pure body practice, pure speech, pure thought, pure mindfulness, human wisdom, not bored; know enough in dress and bowl to go begging to cause blessings for sentient beings. If there are such people, you should often come to them and ask questions: in all spiritual matters, Why is it good, why is it bad, why is it bad, why is it bad, why is it not worth it, what is worthy of it, what is not worthy of it, what is worth doing, what is not worth doing, and what dharma should be practiced for lasting peace ? After you ask, then use your own opinion to consider what should be done, then try to do it, what should be given up, try to quit. In the country, if there are orphans, the elderly should be diagnosed. The poor and the weak come to beg, be careful not to contradict. There is an old law in the country, you must not change it. Those are the dharmas that the Holy Wheel-Changing King practices, you should practice." The Buddha said to the bhikkhus: "Bhikkhus, when the Holy King has heard his father's teaching, he will practice according to the teaching. On the day of the full moon, bathed in incense, went up to sit at the palace, surrounded by women, naturally a precious wheel appeared in front of him, the rim of which had a thousand spokes of brilliance. made by a craftsman, not by life. The wheel is all made of needles, the diameter of the wheel is one foot and four. At that time, the Wheel-turning-Roying King thought to himself, "I have heard the veterans say: If the king Empowers the Shalitan lineage, on the full moon day, take a bath with incense and go to the palace to sit at the palace. , possibly surrounded by women, a natural time with a golden wheel appearing in front of it, a wheel with a thousand spokes, a bright light, the work of a craftsman, not a man made, made of gold True, the diameter of a staff is four, then it is called the Wheel-Changing Holy King. Is this the wheel of the treasure appearing now? Let's try and see how that wheel? “At that time, the King of Wheels immediately summoned four troops, turned towards the golden wheel, lifted his right shoulder, and knelt on the ground with his right knee, Then he patted the wheel with his right hand and said, "You must follow the law to transport to the East, not against the custom. The wheel then turned to the east. The king then led four kinds of troops to follow the golden wheel, in front of the golden wheel were four gods to guide the way. When the yellow wheel stopped, the king also stopped the car. At that time, when the eastern small states saw the great king coming, they brought a golden bowl of silver grain and a silver bowl of golden grain to the king, bowed their heads and said, "It is good that the great king has come! Now in this East, the land is fertile, the people are affluent, the temperament is peaceful, from filial piety and obedience. I pray that the Holy King will take the righteous law to rule this place, we would like to provide servants and serve everything that is needed. The King of Wheels said to the emirs: "Stop it, Hien! So you made offerings to me. You should rule the people with the righteous law, and not be biased. do not allow the country to commit illegal acts. That means we can cure it. The kings obeyed. They immediately followed the king to patrol all over the country, until they returned to the East Sea. “The king went to the south in turn, then to the west, to the north. Wherever the golden wheel goes, the kings come and make offerings like the eastern states. “At that time, the king of Wheels, having followed the golden wheel throughout the four seas, inaugurated the right path, comforted the people, and returned to his country, the golden wheel stopped in the air at the palace gate. The King of Wheels of Wheels rejoiced and said: This precious golden wheel is indeed my good omen. Now I am truly the Holy King. “That is the accomplishment of the precious golden wheel. “That king ruled the world for a long time, then the precious golden wheel in the middle of nowhere suddenly left its place. The one looking at the folding wheel came to the king: Great king should know, Now the wheel of treasure has left its place. When the king heard it, he thought to himself: I have heard from the old sages that, if the precious wheel moves, the wheel-turning monarch will not have long to live. Now that I have enjoyed human blessings and happiness, I should also find a way to enjoy heavenly blessings. Let's set up a prince to rule the four worlds, set aside a hamlet for barbers, and order them to shave off their beards and hair, wear three legal robes, and become monastic. “Then the king sent to call the crown prince and said: Do you know? I have heard the veterans say, if the wheel of jewels leaves its place, the life of the Wheel-turning-King will not be long. Now that I have enjoyed happiness in the human realm, I should find a way to enjoy heavenly blessings. Now I want to shave off my beard and hair, wear the three legal robes, and go forth to practice the Way. I entrust the four continents to you. Make an effort, love the people. After the crown prince died, the king immediately shaved off his hair and beard, put on the three legal robes, and left home to practice the religion. “The king left home for seven days when the golden wheel suddenly did not appear. The wheel watcher came to inform the king: Dear Great King, this precious wheel has suddenly disappeared. When the king heard it, he did not think it was a concern, nor did he come to ask his father's opinion. “Then my father suddenly ascended to heaven. Since then, there have been six kings who turned the wheel, exchanging their thrones for the throne and using the right law to govern the people, only one king later specialized in governing the country, did not follow the old law, unjust politics caused people to complain, The country's state is poor, the people's spirit is weak. Seeing this, a great minister of the Brahmin line came to the king and said: Now the country is in decline, and the people are not as good as before. At present, in the king's country, there are many positions of intellectuals, intelligent, and clear-cut, knowing all the political laws of the former king. Why don't you ask them what they know, ask them and they will answer. The king immediately called his courtiers to ask about the main politics of the Tien Vuong, the positions of the gods answered everything. After hearing this, the king followed the old law, using the right law to save the people, but still could not diagnose the old people, give alms to the lowly, the people in the country were still gradually led to poverty and invasion. plundered each other, but the city was plagued by robbers. Whenever someone was stalked, he was brought to the king, saying: This man is a war, please rule him. The king asked: Are you really a war? He replied: Indeed. Because I was poor and hungry, I couldn't live on my own, so I had to fight. The king immediately went out of the warehouse, took what was given to him, and commanded: You bring this wealth to your parents, help your relatives, from now on don't be a war anymore. “Others saw this and said that there was a warlord who was given treasure by the king, so they followed suit. Again they were stalked and caught and brought to the king, saying, This man is a warlord, please rule him. The king asked again: Are you really a war? The other replied: Yes. Because I was poor and hungry, I couldn't live on my own, so I had to fight. The king again went out of the storehouse to take what was given to him and said, "You bring this wealth back to provide for your parents and help your relatives. From now on, don't be a war. "Other people heard that there was a warlord who was given wealth by the king, so they imitated each other, and were stalked and brought to the king, saying: This man is a warlord, please rule him. The king asked again: Are you really a war? The other replied: Yes. Because I was poor and hungry, I couldn't live on my own, so I had to fight. This time, the king thought: Before someone was a warlord, I saw that poverty gave me wealth, told me not to do it. When others heard it, they imitated it. That robbery is rampant. Well, now it is better to order this person to be tied up and led to the alleys, then taken out of the city to an open place to be executed, to warn the next person. The king immediately arrested him, tied them up, beat the drums, and ordered them to be sent to the streets. After that, he took it to an empty place outside the city and executed it. When everyone else saw this, they spread the word: If we become a warlord, we must be treated in the same way. From here, the nation, in order to defend itself, created scepters, swords, bows and arrows, to destroy each other, to attack and rob each other. “Since this king began to have extreme poverty. People are poor together with thieves. Only people with thieves have a staff. Only people who have a staff can kill. Humans have killed so the new human beauty is emaciated, life span is short. They live from forty thousand years old, then down to two thousand years old. Among them are people who live long; someone died prematurely; someone suffers; someone is happy. Those who suffer are born with the mind of sexual misconduct, greed, and use all means to scheming each other, so the poverty, poverty, robbery, swords, and murders are increasing more and more, making people's lives gradually decrease. live a thousand years. “During the time when people live for ten thousand years, they still steal from each other. Every time he was stalked, he brought him to the king, saying, This man is a warlord, please rule him. King asked: Are you really a war? The other replied: I don't. And in the midst of the crowd it deliberately lied. Thus, sentient beings at that time were poor and robbed. Because of thieves, there are soldiers. Because of the warrior, there is killing. Because of killing, there is sexual misconduct. Because of engaging in sexual misconduct, there is lying. Because of lying, the life expectancy is reduced, only one thousand years old. “During the life of a thousand years, people begin to create four bad oral actions in the world: lying, double-tongued, cruel talk, and slanderous talk. Those three evil karmas gradually increase, the life span of a person decreases, only five hundred years old. “During the life of five hundred years, people create three other evils: illegal lust, illegal covetousness, and wrong views. As these three evil karmas increase, human life expectancy decreases, only living to three hundred and then two hundred years old, and now, humanity in our time, only one hundred years old. The number of life expectancy increases is less, but the decrease is much. As long as we continue to do evil, our life expectancy will decrease until mankind is only ten years old. “During this ten-year-old human life, a daughter who was born five months ago was already married. In those days, sweet flavors like oil and molasses were no longer heard of. Beans, sesame, rice, sticky rice turns into garbage grass. The clothes of fame, silk, brocade, white cloth, tribulation, silk, cold as now are not seen to be worn, but have to be braided with thorns to make them the best clothes. At that time, the whole land was overgrown with thorns, full of mosquitoes, flies, lice, centipedes, bees, scorpions, and poisonous insects. Gold, silver, lapis lazuli, pearls, famous treasures all sink to the ground, only stone tiles, gravel, and stones float to the top. Humanity at that time absolutely no longer heard the name of the ten good, but only the ten evil filled the world. Until the name of good dharma is not heard, mankind does not know where to practice good conduct, so whoever does extreme evil, is unfilial to his parents, disrespectful to his elder brother, unfaithful, and disobedient. people who rebelled against godlessness, they were revered by the people as today people revere those who do good, honor their parents, respect their elders, Loyalty, filial piety, so benevolent. “Mankind of that time, most of them created ten evils, so they fell into many evil paths, and as soon as they saw each other, they wanted to shoot and kill each other like a hunter seeing a herd of deer. “The earth at that time was filled with pits, creeks, and caves; The land is wide, the people are sparse, and it's scary to walk around. At that time, there was a war of soldiers. The grass and twigs in their hands also turned into spears, killing each other within seven days. At that time, the wise, seeking refuge in the depths of the forest, taking refuge in caves, for seven days were so afraid that they uttered a kind word, saying: You will not harm me, I will not harm you. They live by eating plants. After seven days they came out from the mountain, and when they saw the survivors, they rejoiced and said, 'Aren't you dead? Aren't you dead? Like parents with only one child, separated for a long time, now they meet again with unspeakable joy. They were happy to greet each other like that, after visiting the house, they learned that many of their relatives had died, so they mourned, lamented, and complained to each other for the next seven days. “After seven days of mourning and crying, the next seven days they congratulated, rejoiced, and thought to themselves: Because we have so much evil in our possession, we have an accident, causing the death of our relatives and the loss of our family. So now we should practice the good together, but what good should we practice? We should not kill. “At that time, mankind once again emanated from the heart, not harming one another, so that mankind gradually increased in form and life span from ten years old to twenty years old now. While living at the age of twenty, we think: We cultivate a little virtuous conduct without harming each other, but our life span increases to twenty years. Maybe we should practice a little more goodness. But what good should be practiced? I did not kill before, Now we should not steal. And by cultivating the precept of not stealing, his life span increased to forty years. While living at the age of forty, I thought again: We have increased our lifespan by cultivating a little good, now perhaps we should practice a few more good things. But what good should be practiced? We should practice non-fornication. Since then, people have not committed adultery and their life span has increased to eighty years. While living at the age of eighty, I thought again: We have increased our lifespan by cultivating a little good, now perhaps we should practice a few more good things. But what good should be practiced? We should not lie. Since then everyone has not lied and life expectancy has increased to one hundred and sixty years. While living at the age of one hundred and sixty, we think again: We can increase our lifespan by cultivating a few good things. Now perhaps we should practice a few more good things. But what good should be practiced? We should not be double-tongued. Since then, people have stopped talking twice and their life span has increased to three hundred and twenty years. While living at the age of three hundred and twenty, we think again: We can increase our lifespan by cultivating a few good things. Now perhaps we should practice a few more good things. But what good should be practiced? We should not be cruel. Since then, people have not spoken evilly and their life span has increased to six hundred and forty years. While living at six hundred and forty years old, we think again: We can increase our lifespan by cultivating a few good things. Now perhaps we should practice a few more good things. But what good should be practiced? We should not say embroidery. Since then, people have not talked about weaving and life expectancy has increased to two thousand years. While living for two thousand years, we think again: We can increase our lifespan by cultivating a few good things. Now perhaps we should practice a few more good things. But what good should be practiced? We should not be greedy. Since then, people have not been greedy and have increased their lifespan to five thousand years. While living to be five thousand years old, we think again: We can increase our lifespan by cultivating a few good things. Now perhaps we should practice a few more good things. But what good should be practiced? We should not be jealous, From the heart of good practice. Since then, people will not be jealous. From the heart, cultivate kindness and increase life expectancy to ten thousand years. While living for ten thousand years, we think again: We can increase our lifespan by cultivating a few good things. Now perhaps we should practice a few more good things. But what good should be practiced? We should cultivate the right view, not be crazy. Since then, people have cultivated right views, have not been born crazy, and have increased their lifespan to twenty thousand years. While living for forty thousand years, we think again: We can increase our lifespan by cultivating a few good things. Now perhaps we should practice a few more good things. But what good should be practiced? We should honor our parents and respect our elders. Since then, everyone has been filial to their parents, respected their elders, and their life span has increased to eighty thousand years. “While mankind lives for eighty thousand years, girls don't get married until they are five hundred years old, and have nine diseases: cold, heat, hunger, thirst, defecation, urination, lust, gluttony, and old age. The land at that time was flat, with no trenches, thorny hills, and no mosquitoes, snakes, and poisonous insects. Tile, stone, sand, and brick are turned into lapis lazuli. The people are affluent, the grain is cheap, and the happiness is indescribable. There were eighty thousand great cities built, villages and towns close together, roosters crowing at the same time. “At that time, there was a Buddha born with the name Maitreya Tathagata, Chi Chan, Fully Enlightened One, ten full titles like Shakyamuni Tathagata today. That Maitreya himself cultivated in the midst of the devas, Emperor Sakya, Ma, Celestial Demon, Ascetic, Brahmin, and Human, who have personally witnessed it, just as we are today in the midst of the ranks of the gods, Emperor Sakya, Ma, or Celestial and Sammon. , Brahmins and Humans that themselves testify. Maitreya will preach the Dharma, the beginning, the middle and the end will all be perfect, full of meaning, pure and holy as I am today, the beginning, middle, and end are all true and full of meaning. such pure conduct. “Maitreya Maitreya has countless thousands of thousands of disciples, just as I have a few hundred disciples today. The people at that time called his disciples Tu Tu just as they called My disciples now Thich Tu. “At that time, there was a king named Tuong Gia, who was the King of Chakras, the Holy Wheel-turning King, who was inaugurated, and ruled over the four continents of the world. The king ruled the people with the righteous law, and everyone admired him. The king has all seven treasures: a golden wheel, a white elephant, a blue horse, a god pearl, a female pearl, a layperson, The master of the army and his thousands of sons were strong and powerful, able to defeat foreign enemies, and were respected by all four directions, without the need for a sword, but the world was at peace. “The king established a great encirclement of ten levels, a thousand feet high, adorned with a thousand mixed colors. The sanctuary has a hundred corners;; Each corner has hundreds of branches, woven with precious thread, interspersed with jewels. After setting up a temple to offer alms to ascetics, brahmins and the poor in the country, the king cut off his beard and hair, wore the three legal robes, left home to cultivate the Way, and practiced unsurpassed conduct, right in the present Dharma. Now that you can realize it by yourself, birth and death will cease, the holy life will be accomplished, your work will be completed, and you will no longer be subject to the afterlife." The Buddha said: "Bhikkhus! You should diligently practice virtuous deeds. Through practicing good conduct, life expectancy is long, beauty is more fresh, peace of mind is peaceful, wealth is abundant, power is full, Just like kings who follow the old Dharma of the Holy King Turning the wheel of a holy king, the life span is long, beauty is more fresh, peaceful and happy, rich in wealth, and full of power. In the same way, bhikkhus should cultivate good Dharma, have a long life, have a fresher beauty, be peaceful and happy, be rich in wealth, and be full of power. "What is it called that a bhikkhu has a long life span? Bhikkhu-stilts practice concentration, diligently do not treat, because of the achievement of cessation of practice, cultivate divine powers. spiritual practice. Thus the bhikkhu's life span is long. “How is it called a bhikkhu to have a fresher beauty? Here, a bhikkhu who has the precepts is well-rounded, achieves majesty, sees a small sin, has a great fear, and fully learns in the precepts, completely without omission. Thus, the bhikkhu's beauty is more fresh. “What is it called that a bhikkhu is safe and happy? Here, a bhikkhu abandons sensual pleasures, abandons unwholesome dharmas, attains enlightenment with contemplation, has joy and happiness born of separation, attains the first jhāna. Except for the cessation of enlightenment and contemplation, internal equality, purity of mind, single-mindedness, no enlightenment and no contemplation, there is joy and happiness arising from concentration, the second jhāna attainment. Let go of joy, rest in peace, concentrate on not being scattered, know for yourself the feeling of happiness in the body, abide in what the sage says is equanimity-mindfulness-pleasure, the third jhāna attainment. Ending suffering, ending happiness, sadness and joy have been eliminated before, neither suffering nor happiness, equanimity and pure mindfulness, the fourth jhāna attainment. Thus, the Bhikkhu-stilts are safe and happy. "What is it called that a bhikkhu is rich in wealth? Here, bhikkhus are concerned with the practice of loving-kindness, throughout one direction, and then also in the other directions, all-encompassing, vast, equal and immeasurable, except for all resentments, free from envy, and calm and gentle. Compassionate, Compassionate, Mindfulness is the same. Thus the Bhikkhu-stilts are rich in wealth. “What is it called that a bhikkhu is fully empowered? Here, a bhikkhu understands the Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth, the Truth of Cessation, and the Truth of the Way. Thus the bhikkhu is fully empowered. Hey monks! Now Tta considers all those who have strength, no one is stronger than magic power, but the Bhikkhu-stilts have eliminated all or gonorrhea, then they will be able to overcome those ghosts. At that time, the Bhikkhu-stilts, after hearing what the Buddha taught, happily served. Now Tta considers all those who have strength, no one is stronger than magic power, but the Bhikkhu-stilts have eliminated all or gonorrhea, then they will be able to overcome those ghosts. At that time, the Bhikkhu-stilts, after hearing what the Buddha taught, happily served. Now Tta considers all those who have the strength of no one more than the magic power, but the Bhikkhu-stilts have eliminated all or gonorrhea, then again overcome those ghosts. At that time, the Bhikkhu-stilts, after hearing what the Buddha taught, happily served.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
