ultimate story (Money Than Apannaka).

A memory Bhagavan, while in the United amnesty Tinh Vien, near Xa-defense, has preached this dialog. For who, Dharma is mentioned? Because your friend five hundred millionaire Anathapindika (Anathapindika) are pagan practitioners.

One day, the millionaire Anathapindika brought five hundred of his friends are disciple pagan, to bring many garlands, scents, aroma oil and light oil, honey, molasses, fabric and gown , go to the Members States bowed, offering him materials such as wreaths etc .. and distributing pharmaceutical monks wear healing and fabrics. Having done that, he in addition to the side and avoid the six vices while sitting.

Likewise, the unbelieving disciples Exalted prostrated, and he sat to one side near Anathapindika, looking up at the Master's face shining like the full moon, the integrity of the primary and secondary general good, looking up at discounts relative shining and looked up wide a range of dazzling aura of the Buddha, the aura emitted as if each pair of rings, each pair.

Then young lion roared varieties like thunder in the valley, as storm clouds in the rainy season, as the Ganges heaven (galaxy) rushing down, and like a string of jewels woven, however, with a full eight-part Pham sound excellent, interesting natural wonders as he preached to them, a sweet voice and approach shines with many different beauty.

They listen to the Master preaching, the mind is purified credit, stood up the Master prostrated, medical legal break heathen, and refuge in the Buddha. From there, they always go to his residence with Mr. Anathapindika, holding fragrance, garlands etc .. hear French, almsgiving, morality and life Eight Precepts.

Then Bhagavan from Xa-defense went to Rajgir. During the Tathagata is away, they break the law refuge in the Buddha. Then they take refuge pagan, revert back to their original state.

After seven or eight months, Bhagavan back Member States. He Anathapindika brought five hundred companions who went to the Master audience, offering the flavor etc .. He prostrated and sat down on one side. He Anathapindika reported to Bhagavan said after he left, they break health regulations have life, accepted the heathen legal refuge, go back to their original state.

His lotus mouth open, as open treasure box, filled with fragrance difference, fragrant with the scent gods, so powerful real say feet, experiencing countless memories uninterrupted life, the sound Exalted sweet and asked:

-  Hey laymen, were so broke Three of his refuge, and take refuge in the heathen? And when they can not hide, they confess:

-  Indeed, venerable sir. The Master said:

-  Hey layman, no one place from the bottom of hell below, on to the gods, no one anywhere in the world spanning the breadth immeasurable, no one in, do not speak German higher Buddha on the merits as morality etc ..

Then he presented to them the merits of the Three Jewels, as was mentioned in the scriptures:

-   Hey monks, among beings without legs, legs, or four legs, the Tathagata called supreme. If there are assets in this life or the next life ... And indeed, paramount among believers ...

Then he continued:

-   Without a lay public, men and women have taken refuge in Three Jewels, the full throne such supreme merit, to be reborn in the hell etc .. but they get rid born into deprivation, they are born into the world of the gods and attain great Zen evidence. Therefore, when he broke the same rules, and went to take refuge in the pagan, the one thing he did wrong.

And here, to make clear that no one had taken refuge with the Three Jewels ultimate liberation, to have born in deprivation, in these passages must be spoken:

The Master does not just preach to them that way, he goes on to say:

Those who take refuge in the Buddha

-   Hey laymen, the practice of Buddha, the practice of the French concept, the practice of giving a Stream concept Increase direct and save the results expected, directed Nhat hybrid, hybrid Best results, Real hybrid religion, Real future results, A-la welding direction, Arhat fruit.

And after he had preached to them with many methods, he said:

-  With the same break rules, they had done something wrong.

And here, the director brought up the project, etc .. The stored results for those who practice the Buddhist concept etc .. should be stated with the following passage:

-  Hey, monks, there is a law, if it is practiced, and made for fullness, leading to fully cover glass, dispassion, cessation, calm, win position, Enlightenment, Nirvana. What is a law? Etc .. It is the Buddhist concept Thus, Bhagavan with different media, lectures for laymen:

-  Hey laymen, too, in the past, those who cling wrong conclusion, clinging crazy arguments, think something is not a place of refuge, a place of refuge to see the truth, the Skin rubbing his demons will be eaten in the desert landscape, the non-permanent seat, and fall into tribulation. And those who cling Coliseum true wealth of expression, the ultimate legal clinging, clinging measures not crazy, it was in the desert scene, they gain peace and safety.

When it comes to this, he was silent. Then Anathapindika the owner got up from his seat, prostrated Exalted, praised him with both hands placed on the head and said as follows:

-  Buddha, this is clear to us that in the present time, the laymen that, after breaking the refuge supreme law, has fallen into the evil jungle comment.

You instead, if the Blessed One, as though causing the full moon rises, to clarify this event for us.

Then the Exalted says:

After encouraging the attention of people millionaires, he said the story had been reborn cover, as the full moon is released, after the snow clouds broke.

-ooOoo-

Formerly in Kasi country, at the Balaam complaints, have king named Brahmadatta. Then, the Bodhisattva was born in the family merchant caravans master, and has continued to grow, going here and there to trade with five hundred vehicles, when it travels east through the west, when it went from west to east. Balaam in the complaint, there is one other caravan owners are young and foolish, not very good have to improvise.

At that time, after five hundred carts laden with valuable cargo, Bodhisattva ready to go. Employers young and stupid caravans and other similar goods piled on another five hundred vehicles, ready to hit the road. Bodhisattva thought: "If the owner of the caravan this foolish and go with my children, with a thousand chariots, accompanied once on the road, the road will not be able to bear it; truth will be difficult to find firewood and water for people groups, and grass for the cows. Or is it, or that we must go ahead ".

He invited him to a private message, presented the work and said:

- The two of us can not go at the same time being. So you go ahead or behind?

But he thought: "If we go ahead, there will be many benefits. I will go down the path of no damage, the cows will eat the grass has not been touched; while the family members are going to be picking the cooked curry leaf has not been touched, in calm water; and finally pricing preferences, we will sell the goods ".

Think so, who was speaking:

- Hey you, I will go ahead.

And go after the bodhisattva see many benefits because he reasoned like this: "Those who go ahead to flatten the path has not been leveled. I will go the way they have been going through. The cow will graze mine was sprung and sweet; Our users will find the fresh leaves to cook curry leaves springing spot was picked off. In place without water, they have to dig for water, we drink water in the wells will be dug up others. The pricing is like killing human life, we go back to selling goods as normal value was specified ". When you see such benefits, the Bodhisattva said:

- Hey you, go ahead.

- You instead, you.

The owner caravans so young and foolish then to win the said carriage, left, second class passes the village, and began to desert border. Early time, the desert has five categories: desert thieves, predators desert, desert without water, desert and desert inhuman and no food.

First, the path that has thieves refuge, that place is called the desert robbers; second, the path that has the lion etc .. refuge, known as desert beasts; Tuesday, where there is no water for bathing and drinking, and called the desert without water; Wednesday, the path that has the non-humans (spirits) shelter, known as non-desert; Thursday, the road does not find the species of edible roots etc .. called the desert without food.

In this kind of desert, there are two kinds of dangerous desert is a desert without water and non-desert. Thus, the owner of the caravan was young and foolish to put up huge car seats, filled with water, and began to move into the desert sixty mile long.

When they were halfway there, Yakshis demon residing in the desert thinking: "I will make these people throwing water stored, making them weak, then I'll eat them all." Then it turned out a beautiful carriage with the bull fair. Being with ten twelve Guardians inhuman, holding bows, names, and carry weapons, it jewelry with round blue lotus and lily white on top, with wet hair and wet clothes, sitting on his chariot as a lord, it embark on the road with muddy wheels. Entourage also went ahead and go after, with wet hair, wet clothes, jewelry with round blue lotus and lilies, with bouquets of white lotus, red lotus hand, chewing the lotus stems, lotus root, water dripping and mud.

Then, when the wind is blowing in front, the owners of caravans, which was normally sit in the carriage to go ahead with the servant enclosure to prevent dust. When the wind blows behind, they ride behind. The wind blows this front, therefore, the owner of the caravan children ride in the front. Yakshis demon saw him approaching, immediately for parking in a side street, a friendly welcome and asked where to go. Caravan owners to park their vehicles and a roadside and told the devil Yakshis:

- Ladies and gentleman, we go from Barnabas to come. Mr. jewelry with blue lotus and water lilies, lotus holding white and red, was chewing the lotus and lotus root stalks, muddy walk the tears flowed. So he went right along with the rain, there are lakes covered with blue lotus reasonable? etc.

Devils Yakshis, heard asked, immediately shouted:

- Hey you, you say what? Yonder was visible ridges of dark green forest. From then on, the entire forest is nothing but water. Always raining, there are lakes flooded; everywhere are lotus ponds.

After saying so, and the convoy was passing by, he asked:

- The carriage is going? And they answered:

- Go to this place, there.

- In each of these carriages, with what goods?

- Many types of goods.

Then when the last carriage passed by, carrying very heavy, it asks:

- In this chariot carrying what?

- Carrying water in it.

- From the place of departure to this point, you have to bring water as well. But from this point on, no need to bring more water. From the front there is plenty of water. Let's break the water smashed to go for comfort.

And it added:

- The him go. We set off delay lest it!

Then it's off for a while, came to sight, immediately returned to Yakshis. The owner was foolish tour, due to his ignorance, demon obey Yakshis, for smashing the chair, not to regain even a handful of water, just pour it all and ordered the car to go. The more you go forward, nor a drop of water. They must not become weary of drinking water. They keep going until sundown.

Then they untie the car out, put in a circle, and tie the cows on wheels. But we also do not have drinking water. They also have no porridge, no rice, so weak, lying down and sleeping around. When night just down from the devil Yakshis Yakshis go to, kill all life cows and humans, eat them, leaving only bones and left. Thus, just because a child and caravans all ignorance, all were caught in the tribulation, the bones of people and animals scattered everywhere, just five hundred carts stood there with a full cargo.

Part Bodhisattva, from the date the owner waited caravans and foolish young leave, of a half months passed, with five hundred carts from leaving the city, eventually to the desert border. He filled the water for the water smashed, to extract more water reserves and drumming party meeting and said as follows:

- If you do not ask me, a handful of well water is not used. There are many poisonous plants in the desert, none of the notes are eating leaves, flowers or fruit is not eaten before, without asking us.

After only teach them so, Bodhisattva beginners go into desert with five hundred vehicles. When you go to the middle of the desert, his demons Yakshis currently on the way out the door image Bodhisattva, and how to advance. Bodhisattva saw immediately recognize it immediately and thought: "This is no water, and is called the desert without water. This person has red eyes, the shape is not fear, the projector does not have the ball. No doubt, owners of caravans and young foolish to go ahead was it instigated, has poured all the water, so exhausted, and be eaten as a whole entourage. But it does not know that I have used ingenuity and smart media. "

So the Bodhisattva said to the demon:

- You go, we are merchant. Not see other countries, we do not pour water reserves already. Where does that water, we just reassuring ooor moves, making light of the carriage.

Devils Yakshis off for a while, came to sight, immediately on the Yakshis. When Yakshis went, people asked Bodhisattva Group:

- Dear Boss, these people just showed that there is a series of green forest. Outmost same forest, the sky is always rain. They put a wreath on the head of the blue lotus and water lily; they hold lotus flowers red and white; they picked the lotus root and lotus stalks; shirt gets wet, gets wet first; they go with the flow water drop. So let's go water park, making the carriage is light, we go faster.

Bodhisattva heard them say so, and then he stopped the chariot, meeting all the men and asked:

- In the note, has anyone previously heard that this desert pond or lake it?

- Dear boss, no one heard at all. So this place is called the desert without water.

- Now there are some who say that further belt of forest over there, it will rain. The wind blew away the rain may be how much?

- Dear boss, about a mile (by-week)

- Wind can blow rain to touch the body of someone in the comments do not?

- Dear Boss, do not.

- How far enough, the first clouds can be seen?

- Around a mile, sir boss.

- Has anyone in the top notes seen a cloud it?

- Dear boss, no one.

- How far, flashing light visible?

- Dear Boss, about four five miles.

- Does anyone of note saw the light flashing?

- Dear boss, no one!

- How much distance thunder can be heard?

- Dear Boss, about two or three miles.

- Has anyone in the notes to hear the thunder?

- Dear boss, no one.

- They're not people. They are demons Yakshis. Yakshis come and think: "We incited water poured caravan, and the caravan weakness, we will eat them! As the caravan owners and young foolish to go ahead without skillful means, to make sure they bad been pouring e and when tired, they were demons Yakshis eat. And five hundred vehicles are left filled with goods as before. Today, we will see them. Do not pour away, even a handful of countries have also maintained. Go to, as quickly as possible.

His urge to go to a party, the Bodhisattva continued until it was five hundred carts full of goods, the bones of the cow and the unfortunate previous caravan scattered everywhere. Untie him to the car, put the car in a circle, back to the camp meeting, and beef for dinner party early, then going the cows lay down between them.

Then he recruited some strong leadership, themselves stood guard with swords hand, three watches during the night until dawn. Early the next day, he was to have completed the necessary work, for the cows to eat, toss away the frail chariot, took the strong carriage, dropped commodities less valuable, loaded goods valuable merchandise, go to the designated place, and handed the money prices of goods by two or three COGS. Later, he along with his entourage returned to his city.

-ooOoo-

The story ended, the Master said:

-  Hey layman, so in the past, those who cling wrong conclusion, to see the great tribulation. Those who accept the truth ridiculous the argument had escaped from the inhuman, and to where they want safely.

And after combining the two stories together, for the purpose of introducing the teaching of the truth of this argument countless Coliseum, The Career Enlightenment verse:

There are those who speak up

The Coliseum did not make a comment,

But other grades

Declaration on the wrong reasoning.

Who know this place,

Embrace the supreme law.

So Bhagavan teaches about true wealth measures Coliseum this argument, then he added:

-  This true path not only brings good accomplishment three, six heaven in sex education, the achievement Brahma world, which ultimately brought Arhat fruit. Also called deviant path brings rebirth conclusion of four years of deprivation and poor families.

Then he preached about four to sixteen operating Truth minister. His last lecture, all five hundred laymen attained a Stream.

After the sermon, the Master stated the lessons and tells two stories and combine them together, he identifies precursor as follows:

-  In those days, young people and all caravans are foolish Devadatta (Devadatta), entourage entourage who was Devadatta, the owner's entourage caravans gentle operating position of the Buddha's entourage, also the owner of the site caravans Hien Me.END=NAM MO CAKYA MOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY..14/3/2017.
