24. CONGRESS [1]

T O heard something like this:

At one time, the Buddha was at Nahadeyam, in the forest of Ba'alibia, together with the monks, one thousand two hundred and fifty. [2]

At that time, a son of the eldest son, called Kiên Cố  [3] , went to the Buddha, bowed to Buddha's feet, and sat down. At that time, the patriarchal son of the Buddha said:

"Goodbye, the Blessed One. Bend forward religious identity the monks, if any Brahmin, bourgeois or layman to death, go out Kabbalah  [4] , showing mercy rooftop measures [5] . "

Buddha says to Perseverance:

"I never teach the monks present sufficient spirit, legal traders, the Brahmin, bourgeois, lay [6] . I just teach the disciples in the desert where quiet calm meditation on religion. If there is merit, should be hidden. If there is a mistake, please express. "

Kien Co, the eldest son, again the Buddha:

"Bending the religion of the monks monks, if there are brahmins, chiefs or lay people come, please show the divine, show the dharma."

The Buddha said to Perseverance:

"I never teach the monks present, the gods, the brahmin, the brahmin, the layman, layman. I just teach the disciples in the desert where quiet calm meditation on religion. If there is merit, should be hidden. If there is a mistake, please express it. "

At that time Consolation, the son of the Buddha, said:

"I have no doubts about the dharma. But this Nanaea, the prosperous nation, the crowded people, if there is the spirit, will benefit many people. The Buddha and We increase the efficiency.

Buddha says to Perseverance:

"I never teach the monks presently the gods, the dharma, the Brahmin, the head, the layman. I just teach the disciples in the desert where quiet calm meditation on religion. If there is merit, should be hidden. If there is a mistake, please express. Why? There are three kinds of gods. What is three? One, spirit; Two, the human mind; Ba, religious [7] .

"What is a spirit? This monk, the monks set [8]  immeasurable wealth, can be from a body turned into countless; From innumerable bodily bodies back into one body; Or far, or near, mountains, rivers, cliffs, all at selfless, like going in vain. In the middle of nowhere, which sat like an old bird flying. Ra, into the underground just like in the water. Or go on the water as if walking on land. I smoke, fire, like a fire. Hands touching the sun, the moon. Stand high to Brahma. If a head or layman who has the faith that monks are invisible immortal, stand up to the Brahma, will go to the elders, layman has no other confession, but said: -kheo is immortal god, stand up to Brahma. ' The head or layman, who has no faith, tells those who have faith that: 

Kiên Trân Buddha, the son of the eldest son:

"Those who do not have such shinjin say so is not destroying?"

Kanya replied:

"That's really a scam."

Buddha said:

"So I do not teach the monks are the gods, the Dharma, but teaches the disciples in the desert where quiet calm meditation on religion. If there is merit, should be hidden. If there is a mistake, please express. Thus, this son of the deacon, that is the kind of spirit that my disciples manifested.

"Why do stars called mental observation of human mind? Here, monks are invisible spirit of observation; Observing the dharmas are thought in the minds of sentient beings; Things done in the dark are also recognizable. If a head or lay people have faith that monks are invisible to the number of observations; Observing the dharmas are thought in the minds of sentient beings; Things that are done in the dark also can be known to go to the shamans, who have no other beliefs, but said: 'I see monks are immeasurable amount of observation; Observing the dharmas are thought in the minds of sentient beings; Things done in the dark are also recognizable. ' The head or layman, who has no faith, tells the people who have the belief that 'I have heard that the mantra-mandala [10] is capable of countless miraculous changes. .. until,  

Kiên Trân Buddha, the son of the eldest son:

"Those who do not have such shinjin say so is not destroying?"

Persevering Buddha:

"That's really a scam."

Buddha said:

"So I do not teach the monks are the gods, the Dharma, but teaches the disciples in the desert where quiet calm meditation on religion. If there is merit, should be hidden. If there is a mistake, please express. Thus, this son of the deacon, that is the kind of observation that my disciples observed.

"What is the apostolate? This son, if the Tathagata, Chi Chon, the righteous thoughts appear in life, the full ten, between the gods, life, Ma or Matrix, Sa-subject, Brahman, which Self-realization, then preaching to others, with the first, middle, and last all the feet, pure sense, full of  happiness . If there is the head or layman, after hearing, in there is born shinjin. When there is shinjin, he is in it, thinking, 'I should not live at home. If living at home, tie up constantly, can not pure religious practice. Now we shave off the beard hair, busy three forensic, ordained monk, enough merit, to achieve the three intelligent, eliminate the dark, arise brilliant light. Why? It is due to the need to live alone in the desert, Specialized not forget, but that. This elder son, that is the spiritual teaching that my monks show so. "

At that time, persuasively, the eldest son, the Buddha said:

Are monks do not achieve these three gods?

Buddha told the son of the author:

"I do not say most of the monks have accomplished three gods. But, this son of a guru, there is a monk in me in this thought thinking, 'This body, with four great: earth, water, fire, wind, eternal eradication? [12] '. The monks are momentarily directed at the path of heaven, [13] , go to the Four Kings,  [14] asked the four divine King: 'This body, with four great: earth, water, fire, wind, forever Eradicate where?

"The eldest son, the four other king replied to monks: 'I do not know where four permanent eternal eradication where. On me there is heaven, called Dao-profit  [15] , the most wonderful, there is great wisdom. Heaven can know the four great eternal eradication where. Monks and nuns finished listening, minutes at the direction of the heaven, to heaven, Dao-profit, asking gods: 'This body, with four: earth, water, fire, wind, eternal eradication where?' Dao-interests say: 'I do not know where four permanent eternity eradicate. There is heaven, called Diem-ma  [16] , the first miracle, there is great wisdom. He can know. ' Monks go up there asking, but that place still do not know.

"In turn, at the rate, up to liberation, up the Tha nature in heaven  [17] , all said: 'I do not know where four permanent eternal kill where. There is heaven above, called Pham-ca-di  [18] , the first miracle, great wisdom. He can know where the four great eternal eradication of the place.'But that moment to the direction of the director  [19] . Up to Brahma, monks asked: 'This body, with four great: earth, water, fire, wind, permanently eradicate where?' The other Brahman replied to monks: 'I do not know where four permanent eternal eradication is. Now there is Brahma Heavenly King, the unlucky winner, one thousand world leaders, rich and precious, noble, completely free, able to create things, be parents of beings. You can know where the four great eternal eradication is. ' This son of the eldest, Monks immediately ask that: 'Where is the King Mahamaha King is now?' The heaven said: 'It is not clear where Great is now. But in my opinion, he will appear momentarily. ' Soon, Pham Nguoi suddenly appeared. This monk, the monk, monks and nuns to Pham King and asked: 'This body, with four great: earth, water, fire, wind, eternal eradication where?' Dai Pham King said to the monks: 'I am great Brahmin, the victorious, the victorious one thousand worlds, wealth, precious, noble, completely free, capable of creating all Things, parents of beings. [20] . ' The monk then told Phra prince: 'I do not ask that. I ask, four great: land, water, fire, wind, eternal eradication where. 'It is unclear where Great Britain is now. But in my opinion, he will appear momentarily. ' Soon, Pham Nguoi suddenly appeared. This monk, the monk, monks and nuns to Pham King and asked: 'This body, with four great: earth, water, fire, wind, eternal eradication where?' Dai Pham King said to the monks: 'I am great Brahmin, the victorious, the victorious one thousand worlds, wealth, precious, noble, completely free, capable of creating all Things, parents of beings. [20] . ' The monk then told Phra prince: 'I do not ask that. I ask, four great: land, water, fire, wind, eternal eradication where. 'It is unclear where Great Britain is now. But in my opinion, he will appear momentarily. ' Soon, Pham Nguoi suddenly appeared. This monk, the monk, monks and nuns to Pham King and asked: 'This body, with four great: earth, water, fire, wind, eternal eradication where?' Dai Pham King said to the monks: 'I am great Brahmin, the victorious, the victorious one thousand worlds, wealth, precious, noble, completely free, capable of creating all Things, parents of beings. [20] . ' The monk then told Phra prince: 'I do not ask that. I ask, four great: land, water, fire, wind, eternal eradication where. Permanently eradicate where? Dai Pham King said to the monks: 'I am great Brahmin, the victorious, the victorious one thousand worlds, wealth, precious, precious, completely free, capable of creating all Things, parents of beings. [20] . ' The monk then told Phra prince: 'I do not ask that. I ask, four great: land, water, fire, wind, eternal eradication where. Permanently eradicate where? Dai Pham King said to the monks: 'I am great Brahmin, the victorious, the victorious one thousand worlds, wealth, precious, noble, completely free, capable of creating all Things, parents of beings. [20] . ' The monk then told Phra prince: 'I do not ask that. I ask, four great: land, water, fire, wind, eternal eradication where.

The elder son, the other King still responded to monks: 'I am Great Pham, until, the creation of things, parents of beings. Monks again said: 'I do not ask that. I ask, four permanent eternal eradication where. This is the son of the goddess, Brahma heaven, so three times, can not reply monks, these four permanent eradication where. Then the Great King took hold of the right hand of the monks, pulling out the secret place, saying: 'Monks, now the Brahma said that I was the most intellectual, nothing unknown. , not found. So I do not answer you, because I do not know, do not see, these four places where permanently eradicated. Then again with the monks: 'Master is so stupid to leave the Tathagata to question the gods about this. You should go to the Blessed One and ask this. As the Buddha says, keep in mind. ' Back to monks: 'Now the Buddha is at Sathi, in the Garden of Solitude. You go there and ask.

"The elder son, then, monks suddenly disappeared from the Brahma world, and in moments like the arm stretchers, to the Savior, in the lonely Garden, . Bhikkhus go to me, bowing to my feet, sitting to one side, tell me that: 'Blessed one, this four great, earth, water, fire, wind, eternal eradication where?

Then I said,

"Monks! Just as a goblin brings a hen [21]  into the sea. In the middle of the sea, the eagles fly east, west, south, north in vain. If you see the land, the bird stops on it. If not, the bird returns to the boat. Monks, you too. You go up to Brahma to ask for that meaning, eventually failing to return to Me. Now I will make you accomplish that meaning. "

To say that verse:

Not four places:

Land, water, fire and wind? [22]

Do not be rough,

And long, short, pretty, ugly?

Where there is no name-identity,

Everlasting, not dead? [23]

Should answer: invisible form,

Impartial, self-shining [24] ;

It kills, four kill;

Coarse, fine, beautiful, bad kill.

This place is notorious,

Cessation, all kill. [25]

At that time, Kiên Hố, the son of the Buddha, said:

Blessed, monks what name? How to remember? "

Buddha replied:

"The monk is named A-loss-of-mind [26] . Keep that in mind. " 

Now, persuasively, the eldest son, hear the teachings of the Buddha, joyful worship.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.10/5/2017.
