Thus the elders wise elders there, though the full talents of all obstacles to cope with hardships, still clearly remember that they have abandoned How then, should be refused to assist and said " This is not our work, we are outsiders, let the kids fend internally ". Since then, he stood apart, and the decline will siege the other kings crowd from all sides.

- This dream come true only in the future. At that time becomes unjust kings, and ruled according to their own preferences, should not in justice court. We crave this kingly gold and increased the bribes, they do not show mercy to love his people, but cruelty of wealth plundered by them surface trampling and crushing me like taxing people to the point where no more coin pocket. Since we can not afford any tax collection burden on the back, around the urban population will flee villages, sought refuge in the border area of the country at the center of the country becomes wilderness, while dense border area population.

10. - Buddha, looks like I do my show in a pot boiling rice without mixing them. Because not stir, so the rice pot is split out like three distinct parts cook in three phases: the pasty nhẹt section, then brusquely parts, portions, cooked really delicious! It is the station's tenth dream. What will happen from the sign of him?
- This dream did not come true until the future. At that time kings injustice, people under underhanded also become, the Brahmin, homeowners, citizens, farmers as well; yes, people are into the underhanded all, even the Brahmin wise. Next, there are upholding their gods, the gods they sacrifice civilians, such as tree spirits, gods in space, also became underhanded always, even if the wind blows through the state of marriage this military becomes hurricane chaos, rocked the temple of Heaven, which makes gods out of anger, not for the rain falling; or as if the rain day, he would fall all over the country the same time, there was also a large thunderstorm rains are good irrigation on lands to till seeding to help people in need are vicious attacks. Thus, in a vast country, in every village, lake, pond, rain falling at the same time in the same range; if rain in the upper part, it did not rain in the lower part, where the crop was badly damaged due to hydrocephalus, arid the other places because of the drought, more prosperous place thanks to good weather the storm steadily. The crop is in the same national level - such as the rice in a pot - will not be the same. However, the Great King has nothing to fear because it all. Tell tenth dream I heard a go.
11. - Buddha, looks like I do my show fresh butter timber will be taken in exchange for chien- Forum (frankincense) quarter worth a hundred thousand coins. It is the eleventh dream. Is there something going on from that reasonable?
- This dream did not come true so far future, the day that my dharma decay. At that time, many monks very precious heartless greed appears, rice and clothing pieces just because they preach the Dhamma I have spread in order to eradicate lust! Do we abandon the Church because of avaricious body and now rank heresy of them, they can not preach the Dhamma leads to Nirvana. No, they're just thinking, while teaching, how to use enough flowery words and sweet voice to seduce the masses give them food, expensive clothes and things like that and just specialized nursing care benefit offerings. There are those who sit in the avenue, corner, crouched superb goal ... teaching for the money, because of the large and small coins. And while they sold cheap Dhamma leads to Nirvana invaluable in exchange for food, clothes, gold and silver, they have nothing else who bartered sheep-herd timber worth hundreds of thousands of fresh butter to get the other stuff ? However, the Great King had nothing to fear sex at all, tell twelfth dream for me to hear.
12. - Buddha on, I found the secret vote hollow wire back under. So what happens reasonable?
- This dream did not come true until the future with unjust kings, crazy world. At that time kings do not appreciate the aristocratic but inferior preferential us, so we will be the lord of the ruling elite while aristocratic crowd to be sinking into poverty. Also in place of the court, in providing technical, in the hall or the court's only four words inferior - which firmly established, as the country could sink bottom. Even in the quarterfinals of the offerings: food clothes, couch, medicinal ... well, just opinions fitness wicked, decadent is considered right to dispose of and not the opinion of the monks know where sufficient sexual minorities. Something like that everywhere is like the scene back wire submerged hollow gourd. However, the Great King has nothing to fear about it all. Tell thirteenth dream for me to hear.
13. - Then the king said:
- Buddha, looks like I do my shows huge boulders by the house, again floated like boats on the water.So what will happen reasonable?
- This dream did not come true so far as I have said future on. In those days, kings unfair advantage of the lower class crowd, they will become the powerful lord of noble folks at poverty decline. People no longer revered aristocrat, but a new cult of wealthy men only. At King fell Dynasty, in the meeting room privy, or in place legal, word of the nobility law expertise - the very characteristics that have large classes who symbolizes this - floating adrift again, not about deep into our mind. When they spoke, the men of this emerging bourgeois scornful laugh, said to each other: "The other name What are you saying?". Likewise, in the congregation of monks, as mentioned earlier, it is not to respect the supreme rank among recluses row, so word of this location is not deposited, but only drift that go lost, as if the boulders floated on the water. However, the Great King has nothing to be afraid of sex at all.Tell us listen to the fourteenth dream for me to hear.
14. - Buddha, I do my apparently did not see the bigger frog catches tiny petals withered, the agile hunters giant snakes, snapping them off pieces such as the lotus and devoured them a while to complete. What will happen reasonable?
- This dream did not come true until the future, what I have said before, the world's decay. Then the four men craving emerged too intense, too passionate desire to the point they become slaves to them concubine young children in the house, the servants, workers, cattle, pigs and chickens, gold and silver, until everything else is depending crowd disposition concubines. Assuming the other miserable husband asked if money, clothes to where consecutive meeting where it shelves it, he had to worry about me, do not ask any questions about what frumpy house "his wife I "at all! Then by all means, we use words other concubines husband as swarms of slaves, servants, so just like the flood of counterfeit sharp, not greater than the tiny flowers, cobra swallowed again! But he had nothing to worry about there. I hear tell fifteenth dream.
15. - Buddha, looks like I do my country saw a crow, a full ten-virtue, to be a full entourage of escort bird, the birds-yellow coat color, often dubbed Kim nga regal. What will happen reasonable?
- This dream, Sire, nor achievements to date and future, the era monarchs recession. It is time the king appeared not know anything about martial arts, elephants, horses, and the cowardice as a substitute, for fear of being deposed, or expelled from the kingdom, so we put the four bodyguards, almost bath, haircut, like that came to power instead of putting up the noble group. Thus, this crowd does not favor the king buds enjoy the water, not enough to support himself, had to endure almost condescending flanking the wealthy men, like ravens are cloud Kim nga royal servant. However, the Great King has nothing to fear about it all. Tell sixteenth dream for me.
16. - Until now, the main species hunted chamois aggressive, but it looks like I do my dream chamois hunting tigers and tear vegetables vegetables. While just saw the ball far goats from wolves herd panicked and immediately fled into the bush to hide herself. It is the dream of the station. What will happen reasonable?
- This dream, Sire, also failed to materialize so far future, when any intelligent kings ruled. At that time, they were inferior ruling elite held so much grace and regal, aristocratic crowd while impoverished desert into darkness. Since there are many forces in the court of the king by grace, we new this wealth requires deprived ownership of the land, clothes, and all the assets of the ancestors of the ancient aristocratic crowd. When these guys trying to defend their rights before the courts, but were bunch of kings confidential valet retrieve sticks beaten, thrown out shareholder with vulgar words, something like: "Is there spirits , the other foolish men! Why? you want to fight with us? the king will know the rude of you, then we will send you chop off limbs and appropriately punished both flood! ".Then noble folks appalled to realize that their property has become the property of the new folks too harsh dominate the other, to ask newly grace we take their property. Then they rushed home to shirk in fear anxiety. Likewise, the evil monks terrorist spoiled, destroy friendly gentle monks, deserved, until the people who can not see further protect themselves, had to flee into the forest. Such oppression and friendly congregation nobles, monks are like wolves goats were threatened.
However, he has nothing to be afraid of sex at all. Because this dream is just related to the future only.Thus, not because the truth or love of the Great King made the Brahmin predict how they told where the Great King. It just wants avaricious greed, the knowledge is nourished by greed made them utter those words bring boon for his part only.
Thus the Master had taught the meaning of the sixteen big dream is finished, and he added:
- This Great King, he was not the first to dream like that; the old days, kings used to dream dreams saw this, and as well as now, the Brahmin found this cause to celebrate Mass the altar; For this, at the request of the gentle and friendly place, the Bodhisattva has been consulted, and the dream was the wise old site explaining exactly like how they are explaining now.
Said this is done, according to the king's request, he told a story of the past.

Youth Brahmin replied:

- Of course, yes. But first, tell me the dream of the Great King.
- Bach Venerable, I now ready, and began to tell the king replied as follows:
then cows, calves,
horses, gold bowl, painted cranes,
Water, a shower in,
Rice live, you herd sheep,
Gourd pumpkin diving down the line,
to the floating stones,
sharp Counterfeit , bullfrog same
flock Shred cobra,
Crow has entourage
As beautiful Russian royal herd;
Oryx wolves afraid!
And then the king after the king Pasenadi like dreams (Persian-anonymously) aforementioned.
Great Career Si said:
- That's enough, the Great King there is nothing to fear about it all.
After reassuring the King finished and released the other creatures crowd from detention, the bodhisattva associated air cylinder, extension Catholic kings, and kings to the five precepts reside and concludes with these words:
- O Lord, from now on Great King not to collaborate with the Brahmin to kill animals and herd health.
After the lecture finished, Bodhisattva traveled through space to return to his shelter. And the king, serving prime teachings were heard, specializing in giving life, and to do many other good merits and when the public network to follow his career.
*
Upon termination of these talks, the Master said: - Great King has nothing to be afraid of his dreams at all. So let's cancel the altar away.
After the king to cancel the international protection and rescue countless herd creatures, he combined the two stories and identify precursor:
- At that time the king Ananda, Sariputta is young Brahmin and I was the hermit did.

Long ago, when Brahmadatta ruled in Balaam complaints, in this city, a millionaire named Illisa, wealth and eight hundred million coins, and had all the vices of man. He lame, cross-eyed back and wasting. He had no confidence, never miserly one, not himself lived; His house was like a demon La-close lake occupied. However, over seven generations ago, the ancestors of the people he is giving, very generous benefactors. When millionaire status, he was destructive of family tradition, alms houses burned, drove the beggar, and asset accumulation.
One day the king went adoration. he returned to his house, the millionaire farmer saw a tiring journey, holding a bottle of wine, sit on a chair, filling cup sour wine, wine closed with a stinky dried fish pieces. Seeing this, he started to drink, but the desire to think: "If I drink, many people will want to drink with me. So I will wear properties." So he tame thirst, to and fro; but while walking, can not suppress hunger, he became jaundice as rice and cotton emerged blood vessels on his frail body. Finally, he entered the room, lying huddled on the bed. His wife came, rubbing his back and asked:
- Hey you, what makes you so uncomfortable? (Details are like the story mentioned above).
- So I cooked enough for his wine he drank.
When they heard that, the millionaire said:
- At home, many people are waiting for winemaking. Also bring wine from the bar and sat drinking here is impossible.
Millionaire who for a contract, make a slave brought a wine from the shop smashed on a chair and told him to follow his wine out of the city, to the waterfront, go on a road near a large bush, for bookings Do smashed down, and told the slaves went out to sit in the distance. He poured a cup of wine and started drinking.
His father before birth due to the merit of such generosity ... was born as God all Sakka. In the meantime, his father wanted to know your alms may be continued or not, and to know, son, not to continue his career ended the family tradition, giving the school burned, beaten chase the beggars, miserly mood, now afraid to have people to drink secretly went into the grove to drink alone. Seeing this, Sakka decided: "I will make it touched, it taught me to help him know the relationship between actions and outcomes, make it known to give, making it the benevolent value on earth worth living. "
Then God's all down to the human realm, Illisa millionaire turned out, also crippled, also wasting his back, also not unlike Illisa cross-eyed. With such shapes, he goes to Rajgir, standing in front of the palace, the king said confidently tell her to. When invited to, he bowed to the king and stand almost next. The king asked:
- What brought the last General millionaire so early?
- Dear God and death, I come here to my house and said the property has eight hundred million coins. Please cast your God brought death filled his coffers.
- Well, just then, modern millionaire! In our supply are more assets than his wealth!
- Dear God and death, if he does not, I'll take that fortune giving my liking.
- Take alms, the Millionaires.
- Ladies and yes, God and death.
After the king bowed, went out, Sakka (ie his father) turned to go home a millionaire types Illisa. All entourage servant came around. No one can know this is not Illisa. Sakka stood in the doorway to the house, to call the doorman and said:
- If there is one who is like me coming here claiming to be the owner of this house, take sticks chased it away.
After saying this, Sakka went up stairs, sitting on security is very gorgeous, and the millionaire's wife to call. With a smile, he said:
- Woman, we will give alms.
Heard so, millionaire wife, son, daughter, the housemaids who do are thinking: "A long time ago, I do not mind all thought of giving. Now probably after drinking, dizziness say he was born desire alms ".
So millionaire wife said:
- Sir, please give alms according to your preferences.
- So let drummers to call, tell him to go drumming throughout the city and cry out: Who needs gold, silver, jewels, pearls etc .. please go to the millionaire Illisa.
The wife did as instructed. A crowd of people carrying baskets and bags ... gathered at the door of the millionaire. Sakka to open the jewel room and said:
- I will be yours. Come grab you as you want and then leave.
Property masses brought out, piled between floors, filled the basket they brought pots and take them away. One other farmer's cows Illisa column in your neck of a millionaire car, filled the car with seven treasures, from the wall. While going on a major road, he drove to near the grove, and praised millionaire Illisa as follows:
- Hopefully my boss, millionaire Illisa live to a hundred years old! Thanks to this Illisa do not need to work, can live up to a lifetime! Illisa this car, this cow's Illisa! Seven treasures not for my mother. It is because of Illisa, all of us for!
Him walking and praising the virtues of millionaire status. Millionaires (truth) heard so startled, scared, thinking: "Why this person to repeat the words of my name in it? Or the King has given our property for the masses, then?".
He jumped out of the bush, get out the car and his cows, and they took the bull nose wire, and lead him away and said:
- Oh, the other slaves, this is my cow, this is our carriage. Farmers get off saying:
- Oh! map evil bastard, millionaire Illisa give to the whole city. Who are you?
The farmer rushed to beat Illisa fell as lightning, and then take the car. Millionaire who stood up, angry shaking, dusting, runs real fast, grabbed the car. Farmers back into the car, grabbed the hair, Bushy breaking him down, grab his elbow hit, holding his toss toward the road he went to, and left. When sober since her brutal beatings, the millionaires tremble with anger, went quickly to the door of the house and saw people carrying property shambled away, he said:
- Oh! how so! Was the king to rob my assets?
He went to grab this person, the other person, and those who were immediately hit he took his feet collapsed. Spectacular in pain, he went to the Invisibility. The doorman saw him and cried:
- Oh, fake server appliances, mi go somewhere?
First of all, he took his bamboo stick, then dragged him out holding the door. Millionaires who think: "Now, apart from the king, who does not have a shelter to do it." He went to the king and said:
- Dear God and death, he has appropriated the right of me? This millionaire, do not hijack! Does he have to come here and say, if he does not get, and I will bring my property alms? Does he have to beat the drums throughout the whole city, that he would give alms Ad?
- Dear God and death, not because I came here to meet him that. He did not know my computer so miserly? I do not think anyone, even a drop of oil taken from the tips of the grass! Who was giving my property, let's call it coming and interrogating it, said Thien-mail.
Sakka summoned to the king, the difference between these two men, both kings and lords are unknowable. Area miserly millionaire said:
- Dear God Prince, who's not a millionaire. I'd be a millionaire.
- We do not know who the real millionaire! Who could know them?
- Dear God death, my wife.
The king called his wife to come and ask:
- Any person who is your husband?
The wife said:
- This person, and she stood near Sakka.
King to call the sons and daughters, the housemaids, the workers and asked. All were standing near Sakka. Then the millionaire thoughts: "In my head there was a mole hair covered, only barber who knows. I will give it to call."
Grandfather:
- Dear God and death, people recognize my barber. Let's call it coming.
At that time, the Bodhisattva was his barber. King to call the Bodhisattva came and asked:
- Do you know millionaires Illisa not?
Dear God-mail, look at my head will get out!
- So let's look on the first two.
In that moment, Sakka make a mole on his head emerged. Bodhisattva two heads looked up, saw the two moles, began to say:
- O Lord, both heads are moles. I can not identify between these two people who truly Illisa.
Then, Bodhisattva read verse:
both cross-eyed,
both have a mole,
I do not know two people,
the one Il-li-sa.
Listen Bodhisattva say so, the millionaire shivering, and sorrow for lost property, he could not bear immediately fell unconscious. At that time, a new Sakka said:
- Sire, we are not Illisa, I am Sakka.
Then he flew up, stand out of nowhere, with all supernatural power. It washcloths for Illisa and sprinkled over him. Illisa revive stood up, bowed and stood aside Thien owners. Sakka said:
- Hey Illisa property is mine, not yours. I am your father. You are my son. Lifetime asks merit such as the published thi.vv .. should be born as Sakka. You've cut off my tradition, not giving, not morality, dwell on avarice, almsgiving field burning, expel beggars, lo asset accumulation. You did not lived assets. Others do not enjoy. Assets you stand like a demon-La-close lake occupied there, no one can drink to have refreshments. You should redo my school like the old alms, almsgiving is so good! If you do not, I will make disappear all of your assets, smash your head with diamond mace Inda and end your life.
Millionaire Illisa panic for fear of being killed, immediately promised:
- Starting today I will give alms.
Sakka received promises, nowhere to sit on the sermon, he reside in morality and go about their origin. And then dedicated Illisa merit such as the published thi.vv .. and be born to heaven.

Once into adulthood, Bodhisattva three volumes Vedic learning and vocational eighteen with a renowned professor in Takkasila. After achieving proficient in all academic, Bodhisattva called the Hien Elementary gunner position (Culla-Dhanuggaha-Pandita).
Leaving Takkasila, Bodhisattva went to the Andhra country to find practice experience of all time. In this precursor, the Bodhisattva is a dwarf, tiny and somewhat wasted. Bodhisattva thought: "If I go to a certain king, the king would say: With a body like your dwarf, we are going to do? So let's find a handsome man, tall and big , do something original, hiding behind its back, to feed me. " Think then, the Bodhisattva to seek such a person. Navigate to the area weavers, weavers saw a tremendous named Bhimasen (Leader terrible army). After the cordial welcome, the Bodhisattva who asked him:

- Dear God death, half of the month I will take a thousand.
- And this person who you are going with this?
- Dear God and death, which is the baby almost provision.
- Well, let's start serving us.
From then on, Bhimasena and Bodhisattva serving the king, but never all work arise are due to the Bodhisattva do. At that time, in the Kasi country, in a forest, there is a tiger blocked thoroughfare and force them to eat meat. Let the king know the people believe it. King to call Bhimasena and said:

Knowing the tiger got up, you went away, get into a grove of trees, close down. The rural population will shoot the tiger to death. When the tiger is dead, you'll get the teeth to bite off a creeper, the vines started to embrace it, you go to the tiger near death, and said: - Hey you, who killed the tiger! This column to tigers us with vines as a cow and took it to the king. As required vines, we went into the grove. Before they brought the vines are, someone e ~ kill the tiger? Speak up. The village people will panic, trembling, and bribe you much money to ask you not to let the king know. It will be a great tiger killed by you and you will be king for a lot of money.
But he accepted, leaving ordering the killing of tigers correct manner Bodhisattva commanded, making the peace forest, and then returned to Balaam complaints to mass around, went to meet the king and said, :
- Dear God-mail, I have to kill the tiger, gave peaceful forests.
The king was very pleased, the guys did a lot of money.

Follow the way of the Bodhisattva, who was killed by a buffalo as killing tigers and go back. King again raise him money. He became great powers. Enamored of power, he despised the Bodhisattva, did not approve of the Bodhisattva is more. He says:

Thus, the bodhisattva who criticized him and said:
- Hey you, do not fear! I stand here, why do you defeat?
Bodhisattva help Bhimasena down an elephant, sure it wash up and go home. Bodhisattva said:
- Today, we will win the title!
Bodhisattva for a fight, screaming loudly, routed army, nab hostile kings and the king of Balaam complaints. King was very pleased, reward Bodhisattva great fame.
