Her childhood, in the Career Enlightenment Ca-lettuce, a monks lived in a small village, the squire is a holder. Monks was outspoken personality, spontaneity, morality, specializing meditating. There are also an elder Arhat has taints annihilation, live at the same level of equality with the virtues. This position previously never been to the village squire who had supported his monks, arrived today for the first time. Who filled all happy with the gesture of elders and took the bowl, invited into the house, invites food supply. Then he heard a short sermon, pay homage to elders and said:
- Venerable Sir, please go to the home planet our recent amnesty. We will arrive in the afternoon audience with him.
Elders went to his residence throne, elders bowed abbot and after applying, sat to one side. Intimate abbot inquired elders:
- Dear Sage, Sage is not food?
- Ladies okay.
- Being in where?
- At home in the village of Ton landowners recent fake.
After saying that, the elders asked his seat is ready, prepared take-placed bowl y, then sat down enjoyment of natural life, optimistic about the outcome. In the afternoon, the landowner was to bring incense, garlands, oil lamps and went to his residence, pay homage to the abbot and asked:
- Venerable Sir, Elders guests arrived yet?
Upon learning that he has arrived, the landowner go to elders living, bowed, sat to one side, and listen to the sermon. On a cool evening, the squire bowed Buddhist shrines, Bodhi tree, light, and then invited the two men to leave.
Elder abbot thought: "Fill this owner was distracted. If the resident monks here, he no longer landowners spurned me anymore".
Elder abbot, the mind is not happy, thinking: "I have to how he was in his residence is not in this." By now virtually visit, while visitors to the Elder, Elder abbot said nothing. Elder make an end to the illegal or guest, said the intention of the elder abbot, thinking: "Presbyterians do not know I never interfere with the family, he or furniture offered them he" , went to his residence, enjoying pleasant and optimistic about the outcome of meditation.
Elder abbot, the next day, lightly bell guest room inn, and took fingernails tapped on the door and go to the house of the landowner. Squire who took the bowl he, was invited to sit on a prepared site and asked:
- Where guests elders?
- I do not know him your news. I have knocked on the door bell, but he can not wake up. I'm sure the last meal, after eating his epigastric at home, he can digest, so, this is still asleep. Very likely, he was happy with such events.
Meanwhile, the Elder was the total extinction of contraband or think time had to beg her to, prepare yourself instant kind, holding the bowl y, soaring nowhere and go to another place.
Her squire who also donated the Elder abbot rice with butter and fresh milk, honey and sugar. Then he told the clean bowl with scented powder, full bowl of food down again and said:
- Venerable Sir, that road elders tired, bring the food back to him.
Then put the bowl for elders abbot. This position can not be denied, bowls away and think: "If monks was drinking this milk rice, one shareholder sent away, he did not go. But if we give others this milk rice, the us as will be exposed. If we pour down water, fresh butter will float on the water and exposed. If we toss in the land, will gather fruits and be seen. Now we toss this dish where? "
Ongoing deliberations so confused, he saw a field just burned. He shuffled the monks red charcoal, toss the food in there, taking coals to cover up to the top, then went to his residence. Guests do not see where monks, abbots, monks thought: "Maybe monks did make an end to the illegal or, knowing my intentions, and went away. Oh, what were the conditions we belly, did something inappropriate ". Therefore, advantages arise sorrow, and from there, the monks abbot like a ghost on the ground, not long shared destiny, reborn in hell.
In hundreds of thousands of years, it was cooked in hell. Because karma is ripe, it was born five hundred years continuously Yakshis demons, not to eat bloating, oil a day. But one day, it was well fed belly with fetal defiled map. Then in five hundred lives, it being a dog. Then, only one day it is eaten with rice are stomach vomit. In the remaining time, it was never filled stomach food.
From womb dogs corporate networks, it born in a poor family in a village in Kasi. Since it was born, the family became extreme poverty. It should never be half the stomach sour porridge watercraft. It was named Mittavindaka. Her parents could not suffer from hunger, drove it away.
- Let go, numbers other black misfortune.
Helpless, it wanders and arrives at Balaam complaints.
At that time, the Bodhisattva was born as renowned professors from the four winds, and is teaching for five hundred young Brahmin. At that time, people in the three-la-complaints often give money to the poor and give them vocational training. Mittavindaka no money apprenticeship with the Bodhisattva. But the evil nature it is difficult to teach, or fights and or hike. Being Bodhisattva counsel, it still did not listen. Because of it, the money given by the Bodhisattva become meager. It altercation with another young man, do not listen to advice, eventually fled to wander here and there, to place a border village and living wage.
At that, it took a poor woman and had two children. It hired villagers to teach them what is good, what is evil, and give it a hut to live in the village shop. Do Mittavindaka live here, local people in border villages that were the king sanctioned seven times, their homes burned seven times, and a depleted reservoir water chuua seven times. They think: "Before Mittavindaka come here, we do not have it. Since it came, we compromised." So they drove it away.
It brought his wife and children away, to another place, in a wooded area by the inhuman reign. There, the inhuman killing his wife and children eat it. He fled from that place, wandering here and there, to a pier named Gambhira, on the day a new ship was launched, it became employees on board.
When the ship goes on the sea for seven days, the seventh day, as the ship stopped aground. They are figures who draw đn misfortune. Seven times fall into Mittavindaka card. They give it a raft of bamboo, embarked it cast into the sea, and the ship leave. Mittavindaka climbing bamboo rafts, and floating in the sea.
Because it has kept the results presented in the Ca-lettuce Buddha Enlightenment, on the sea, it met four maidens in a crystal palace. With them, it lives in happiness for seven days. Then, the ghosts in the castle for seven days and enjoy happiness. After seven days, they must go to suffer. At left, they told him to wait here until they return.
We left, climb the bamboo rafts Mittavindaka, go somewhere else, and first met eight women in the castle of jade. From there, it goes further, and meet with thirty two maidens in sixteen gold castles. Do not say anything to them, it would have just left, and found a Yakshis in the middle of the island.
There, women have a lower life Yakshis goat shape. Mittavindaka not know if it is female Yakshis, grabbing the leg goats to eat. Yakshis female child was, with his power, lifted it up and threw it away. It was thrown across the sea, fell into a bush, in a dry ditch water, rolled and stood up.
At that time, in that ditch, the thieves often king to kill goats. The goatherd stood crouched prowl burglary. Mittavindaka, after rolling, standing on the ground, saw the goat immediately thought, "I've caught a goat leg on the island in the sea, and it was thrown to fall here. If we again begin this leg a goat , it would throw me over to fairies in the castle on the sea, on the other side. " As such underhanded volition, it immediately took a goat leg, the goat was grabbed immediately exclaimed. The goatherd from shelter to run to, catch it and say:
- This is the boy caught stealing the king's goat ever.
We hit it, tie it, and bring him before the king. At that time, the Bodhisattva with five hundred young Brahmin surrounded, out of the city to take a shower. Mittavindaka see, get it, the Bodhisattva told him:
- Hey buddy, this is my disciple. Why did you start it?
They said:
- Venerable Sir, this is the kid stealing goats, it captured a goat leg, so we catch it.
- Just let it go for us to slavery. It will rely on us to live.
- Ladies and yes, Venerable.
Then they drop it and leave. Bodhisattva asked it:
- Hey Mittavindaka, from before to now you live?
He recounted all the work it does. Bodhisattva said:
- So do not listen to those who want it happy, it must bear all such misfortune.
Then Bodhisattva read this verse:
with people injured his idea,
not in the words Stubborn,
I'll see what melancholy.
Mitaka like
Clutching goat legs.
At that time, when both the professor and Mittavindaka public network, they follow his career.

48. STORY Brahmin VEDABBHA (Formerly Vedabbha) Using media not good ...
This story, as in the United Vienna, the Master told about a hard security monks. The Master said to his monks:
- Hey monks, not just today he was reluctant. He also has difficulty erstwhile sure! Because of his words, so do not follow the wise words place, he cut off his sword and was thrown on the road sometimes. Key was unique because of conditions, leaving a network of thousands of people at large.
Said this is done, the Master tells the story past.
*
Long ago, when Brahmadatta reigned Balaam complaints, in a small village, with a Brahmin learned spells Vedabbha named. Then it was said, that spells great value. When there is a conjunction of planets, if anyone reads him and looked at the sky, then rained down from seven treasures (gold, silver, coral, amber, ruby and diamond).
At that time, Bodhisattva apprenticed with his Brahmin. One day, the Brahmin brought Bodhisattva follow, because some jobs go out of their villages and to the Ceti country. Middle of the road, in a wooded area, there are five hundred bandits, called bandits Messenger, we make the road could not walk, they began Bodhisattva and Vedabbha Brahmin.
Why they are called the messengers bandits? It is said, when they captured two people we elect someone to collect the ransom, therefore, they are called the messengers bandits. If they caught the father and son, we celebrate fathers go, bring them to pimp ransom for children about.
With this vehicle, if they caught the mother and daughter, we celebrate the mother go, they caught the two brothers and the youngest, they appoint elders go; if we get teachers and students, we send people away game. At that time, they retain Brahmin Bodhisattva Vedabbha and go celebrate. Bodhisattva he bowed and said:
- I'll be back in a day or two. Instead of fear. But do follow the words. Today will be delivered to Congress planets jewels rain down, not for the extreme suffering that is not well-read and spell jewels rain down. If rain, he would have perished, hundreds of bandits this year, too.
After he so advised, the Bodhisattva went to get a ransom. When the sun goes down, the robbers tied're Brahmin started to lie down again. It is true that moment, the full moon day of the full moon rises eastern horizon. Brahmin're looking at the stars, said the conjunction of the planets to have formed jewels rain. He thought to himself: "How did I suffer like this, I read the mantra, jewels rain down, for the name of robbery and will be happy to leave". So you Brahmin told the robbers:
- Hey guys, what purpose did you catch me?
- For the purpose of the property.
- If the property you want, immediately, please untie me, wash my head to bring new clothes and makeup dab fragrance flowers. Then I was alone.
The robbers heard, immediately do likewise. You Brahmin learned the conjunction of the planets, read the spell and looked skyward. From the sky, the falling jewels. The robber was acquiring the property, each wrapped package into the outer jacket, and then leave the union. You Brahmin follow them up the rear. The robber was to be another five hundred robbers arrested. We ask these guys:
- The brother arrested us for what purpose?
- For the purpose of the property.
- If the property you want to make the Brahmin. It looked at the sky, as rain falling property. Our itself for this property.
The robbers then drop the robbers first, then start your Brahmin and said:
- Tell us such assets.
Brahmin said:
- I can not tell you the property. From now until a year, the conjunction of the planets to form new property rain. If the property you want, stay tuned. Then, I will rain down assets.
The angry robber said:
- That cunning Brahmin, do ye even rain asset for these guys, we wait to start another year.
They slash your sword sharp Brahmin two, abandoned on the street. Then they chase fold, warring against the other robbers, killing them, and take the property. Then they split into two groups, fighting each other until killed two hundred and fifty names. By doing so, they kill each other until only two names left. So he went to a thousand people perished.
The other two properties bring him buried in a forest near the village, sitting holding a sword name, a name taken away in the village of rice to cook. Name property sits close to thinking: "Greed is the root of destruction. If the guy on the assets to be split into two. When both of the other names, I will take a sword to kill it." Think so, it drew his sword, waiting for the other names on. The man also thinking: "other assets must be divided into two. Let us put poison into the food of rice for the other names, making it public network, thus we are alone asset".
When cooked rice, it ate part of it, then the rest of poison, come to take her. When it was put down to lunch, just stand up, the guy took it off the double sword, threw it into the enclosed space. Then eat the rice it does, and died on the spot. Thus, because the whole property perished.
After two or three days, bringing the ransom Bodhisattva come to him, did not see his teacher, saw assets drop, thinking: "I do not follow my words, asset rain down, causing all suffer victims perished. "
Then Bodhisattva great way to go. While walking, I feel I severed into two larger on the road, stop and think: "So do not follow my words, so he was killed." Bodhisattva of firewood, burning pyre as a teacher, and make offerings with flowers in the forest. Going further, the Bodhisattva met five hundred public network, continue to go to anymore, that two hundred and fifty people, who continue to place the public network, lacking only have two. Seeing this, the Bodhisattva thought: "A thousand people, but two, go to perdition. Whatever remaining two robbers anymore. They can not not fight, do not know they have to go?"
Keep going again, the bodhisattva path that saw two people taking the property away into the woods; away, the Bodhisattva saw a pile of assets each wrapped package and a robber lying dead with a bowl of rice spilled. This is their job! Bodhisattva knows all, wondering: "Where is the other person?" Found it to be cast in place determine the other end, the Bodhisattva thought: "I do not do what we do, so hard to protect his identity, his self had perished, and make a thousand other people because perish alone. Who used vehicles improperly, wrong reasons, bring wealth for yourself and also perish like our teachers so ".
Thinking so, Bodhisattva read this verse:
hope will benefit victims,
Pirates kill Ve-DAB-BHA,
all perished.
Then Bodhisattva added:
- As my teacher, so the idea is not good, so try the wrong place, making asset rain down on their own common network, and make others also perished. Also, for anyone thinking improperly, efforts want to benefit themselves, their self-destruction perfectly, even makes others also perished as well.
Bodhisattva as echoes throughout the forest because his voice makes the tree gods meet approval. With this verse, the Bodhisattva sermon. Then he used his media assets to bring home, such as the merit of generosity and charity of others etc. .. then lived for the rest of life. When the public network, the Bodhisattva path heavenly ascent.

The brokenhearted ENTERTAINMENT STORIES 50. (Formerly Dummedha) With thousands who no mind ...
This story, as in the United Vienna, the Master told about acts of benefit for life. This story is told in chapter twelve, Forerunner 469 Mahakanha.
*
Erstwhile, when Brahmadatta ruled in Balaam complaints. Bodhisattva entered her royal thai his reign. Since the fetus is born, the day named, Bodhisattva called Prince Brahmadatta (Pham life). When sixteen, he was well-educated Takkasila, learned Vedic mature trilogy, and have knowledge smooth eighteen academics. His father gave him the Deputy United.
At that time, the people in Balaam complaints usually good day ritual worship gods, they pay homage to the gods. They killed many goats, sheep, chickens ... and not just to celebrate with a variety of offerings floral, but with fresh bloody meat anymore. Bodhisattva thought: "Now the masses are usually benign rituals worshiping gods day and killed many organisms. Most illegal masses follow. After his father died, and I will be the national level, we will find a way do not disturb the brain means no one, and end the killing of the creatures ".
One day, the Bodhisattva in the car, from the city came out, saw a large number of masses gathered in a large tree god, pray to god given plant sons, daughters, fame, properties ... want so what is the vow. Bodhisattva alight, he went to the tree, with floral offerings, sprinkled with water plants, trees go around him toward the right, the tree spirit worship glass. Then Bodhisattva climbed into the car and went into the city.
From then onwards, with the media, the Bodhisattva occasionally go to her tree, as people pay homage to the god worshiped trees. After some time his father died, the Bodhisattva was placed on the throne. He gave up four evil way, practice ten virtues of a king, and the reigning national lawful. He thought: "Now I have achieved the very highest intentions, and was placed on the throne. In the past, the wish of us how far we have to practice to be periodically".
Meeting Bodhisattva of lords, the Brahmin, nobility, homeowners and said:
- The Secretary may know my wishes before I achieve reasonable royalty?
- Ladies and natural death, we do not know god.
- The secretary has seen before god I worship her with floral plants and trees that bowed with hands or not?
- Ladies and natural death, yes.
- At that moment, I vowed, "If I were king, I will donate offerings to the god tree. My thanks to powerful god that tree, national level should have been. Now we will be donated to the tree spirit, the Secretary not as obstacles. Let's quickly prepare sacrifices donation.
- We took what god tree god offerings?
- Hey secretary, pray to god that we have the following: All people in my country accept the practice and evil in the world as well kill ... and ten evil, I will kill him, and with organ, our flesh and blood, I will donate sacrifices! My prayer is. The publicity secretary drum type the following statement: Meeting our King, as she served as viceroy, with a vow: "If we achieve the national level, those who follow the evil world in our country, I will kill all we do sacrifice praying! so now we are ready to kill a thousand who accept and practice the evil in the world and ten negative, to take them to heart and meat of animals donated as gods. so far we claims for the citizens to know. "
The king made the following statement:
- Only those who, starting from today, the world was committed evil deeds, so a thousand people will be killed to make sacrifices above and I will relieve my vows.
To be clear this sense, Bodhisattva read verse:
I vow to kill the priest,
now we will celebrate,
those illegal Kill.
The lords Career obey Bodhisattva, for drumming in reporting the complaint to Balaam, across twelve miles. Upon hearing to make a report, no one dared to stand up to the evil world do evil deeds.
Bodhisattva duration of such national rule, not a criminal one. Bodhisattvas are not bothering anyone brain, causing all of the people in the country to preserve the precepts, the merit yourself as alms ... until the public network, he brought his congregation to go to and spills flooding the city of the gods.
