The meaning of the 13 early virtues. The meaning of the 13 Dau Da virtues Venerable Mahakasyapa is a great disciple of the World-Honored One. He always practiced diligently and became an exemplary person with noble Dao Da conduct in the Buddha's congregation. What is special is that the Buddha praised the Buddhist practice of the Venerable Mahakasyapa. When Prince Siddhartha (who later became Buddha Shakyamuni) passed through the four gates of the city and clearly saw the four truths of life, he developed a brave mind, gave up everything to become a monk, Monks study Buddhism with the aim of saving all suffering. He practiced all ascetic practices according to the practice perspective at that time. Finally, he realized that: "Extreme asceticism brings no benefit. It is a practice that destroys the body and does not bring enlightenment or liberation to the mind. To achieve success on the path to Supreme Bodhi, there must be a middle path, neither excessive asceticism nor excessive enjoyment. From then on, the Buddha guided the Sangha to practice the 13 austerities. We all know that Buddhism is the middle way. The Buddha also achieved enlightenment by staying away from the two extremes of pleasure and asceticism. After enlightenment, on the path of propagation, the World-Honored One still upholds the middle path stance. However, those who can endure poverty and practice the Dau Da conduct for the rest of their lives are still praised by the World-Honored One. The Buddha praised the Dau Da conduct. Among the Buddha's disciples, the Venerable Mahakasyapa kept the Da Da Da practice all his life. Even though, at an old age and weak strength, the path of liberation was complete, and the Tathagata himself advised "you should give up the practice of begging for alms, even the monks' actions, but should accept the invitations of the rich and receive robes." ” but the Venerable still maintained his virtue. Partly because the Venerable was already familiar with the Dau Dao practice, but more importantly, perhaps the Venerable implicitly sent a profound message to our current posterity. “Once the Buddha was in La Duyet city, Ca-landa bamboo garden, along with a great assembly of five hundred monks. At that time, the Venerable Mahakasyapa was staying in Ananda. When it was time to beg for alms, the Venerable did not distinguish between rich and poor. The Venerable is in one place, sitting in one place or under a tree, or in the open field, or in a completely secluded place, wearing a five-piece robe, or keeping three robes, or at a grave, or eating a meal, or eat at noon, or gou dau-da despite old age. At that time, Venerable Mahakasyapa finished eating and immediately went under a tree to meditate. After meditating, he immediately got up from his seat, changed his clothes, and went to the World-Honored One. At that time, the World-Honored One from afar saw Kasyapa coming. The World-Honored One said: - Well come, Ca-lettuce! Kasyapa went to the Buddha, bowed and sat to one side. The World-Honored One taught: – Ca-lettuce! Now that I am old, senile, too frail, and frail, I should give up the practice of begging for alms, even the Dharma practices, but should accept the invitations of the wealthy and receive robes. Kasyapa replied: - I do not dare to follow Tathagata's teachings. Why? Because if the Tathagata does not attain the Supreme Truth, then I will certainly become Pratyekabuddha, and Pratyekabuddha fully practices Alanya. When it's time to beg for alms, I don't distinguish between rich and poor. I'm in one place,sit in one place or sit under a tree, or in the open field, or in a completely secluded place without moving, or wear a five-piece shirt, or keep three clothes, or at a grave, or eat one meal, or eat at noon, or Dau Dau onion. Now I don't dare to give up my old habits and learn other things. The World-Honored One said: - How good! How good, Ca-lettuce! I have many benefits, saving people is immeasurable, so wide that all Gods and people can be saved. Why? Ca-lettuce! If this Dau-da conduct persists in life, then my dharma will also last long in life. If there is dharma in this world, then the heavenly way will increase and the three evil paths will decrease. Likewise, the saints Sotapanna, Sudahama, Anahamma, and the Three Vehicles are all still alive. Bhikkhus, learn as Kasyapa practiced. Thus, monks, you should learn this. At that time, the Bhikkhus heard the Buddha's teachings and happily obeyed. Benefits of practicing the practice of Dau Da "Dau Da" is the sound translation of the Sanskrit word "dhūta", which means to eliminate worldly afflictions. Dau da is one of the methods of ascetic practice, so it is also called "dau da practice", mainly to train the body and mind by eliminating greed for the three essential issues of daily life. food, water, clothes and shelter. Bhikkhus often practice the Dao Dao practice, so they are also called "Da Dau" monks. In daily activities, people who practice Dau Da conduct must comply with twelve regulations - called 13 Dau Da conducts (some places record 12) as follows: Clothes are made of torn pieces of cloth. Use only three robes. Beg for alms and eat. Only eat one meal at lunchtime. Don't eat too much. Don't keep money. Living alone. Live in the cemetery. Live under a tree. Live outdoors. Does not stay permanently, often travels. Sleep sitting, not lying down. Use only bowls. In the Question and Answer Sutra, there is a passage: “…True practice at home can also achieve enlightenment, achieving enlightenment is very different. But a Samana or a Bhikkhu who receives the 13 dhammas is already close to Nirvana, and has countless benefits for sentient beings...". Because when practitioners practice these Dau Da virtues, they will achieve noble virtues. Dau Da conduct is a precious means to help escape from desire. Cultivate early momentum to achieve Precepts, increase Concentration, and achieve Wisdom. The World-Honored One affirmed, "If this good conduct is achieved in this world, then my dharma will also last long in this life. The heavenly path will increase, the three evil paths will immediately decrease. Sotapanna, Samantabhadra, and Anagami will all remain." in life". Obviously, in modern times, there are rarely any practitioners who can keep one, two or all of the early virtues. However, the deeds of the first Saint Dau Da remind us of a simple, poor life, wanting less and knowing enough. How can we in our spiritual life not be too attached to food, clothing, shelter or the five desires and senses in general? Because liberation, in the simplest sense, is not being stuck, being attached, being at ease with everything in daily life.or eat one meal, or eat right at noon, or go to Dau Da. Now I don't dare to give up my old habits and learn other things. The World-Honored One said: - How good! How good, Ca-lettuce!
