Prince Siddhartha sought liberation. 01 Even though 2,500 years have passed, thanks to the Buddha, we have enjoyed many blessings through his greatness and greatness in compassion, wisdom, and purity of heart. What more are we waiting for? Don't let this life pass by in vain, without doing anything. Because, it will take a long time for you to find this noble truth. 02 Prince Siddhartha visited the city of Kapilavastu. 03 “Why is the old man's back curved, he looks weak and his legs are shaking?” Channa replied. “Because he is an old man.” 04 The Crown Prince continued to ask more questions. “Why is he old? Will I grow old? What about my father? And my wife Yasodhara Bimba, too? And everyone else? Are they that old?” 05 The Crown Prince asked Channa. “What is wrong with him?” Channa replied. “He is a sick man.” 06 The Crown Prince repeated the above sentence, then asked again. “What does it mean to be sick? How did you get sick?” Channa replied. “He is infected.” 07 “How did you get infected? Was he infected without any cause? He just goes to sleep, and is sick when he wakes up? Could I get sick? What about my father? And my wife Yasodhara Bimba, too? And everyone can get sick, right?” “Yes, that's true” Channa answered honestly. 08 Prince Siddhartha felt very confused with what he saw. Then he saw a person wrapped in cloth being carried by others. Next, he was placed on the ground and piled with firewood to burn. 09 The Crown Prince was very scared. He asked Channa incredulously. “Why didn't he escape? Why did he let them burn him?” Channa replied. “He is a dead man.” 10 Therefore, Prince Siddhartha told Channa to take him back to the palace immediately. But before returning to the palace, he saw a monk in sloppy clothes. So he asked Channa, “Who is he?” Channa replied. “He is a 'monk'. He decided to find a way out of suffering.” 11 The Crown Prince seemed very satisfied with this answer. I believe that many of you have heard the story about the four scenes of Birth, Old Age, Sickness, and Death, which the Crown Prince saw. The story inspired Prince Siddhartha to become a monk. 12 Suppose one of your family members feels that birth, old age, sickness and death are extremely painful events. He told everyone in his family that he had decided to leave his family, to find a way to help people escape the situation of being born, growing old, getting sick and dying. What would you say or feel about this person? 14 “Bhikkhus, if there were not three natural things happening in the world, there would be no need for the Buddha to appear in this life, and then he became the Fully Enlightened One. Just like Buddha Dharma, there will be no need to make it develop,expanded worldwide. But what are the three things that naturally happen? These are birth, aging, and death. 15 Today, Buddha has discovered the precious truth. More importantly, he saved himself, his father, his wife, Bimba, his son Rahula, his relatives and a number of others, his followers, and their relatives. became monks. His disciples preached and supported Buddhism to develop to this day.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN ZEN BUDDHIST MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.17/6/2024.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.
