FASHION T-SHIRT.

439. The Four Gates (Catu-Dvàra)

This iron built four high gates ..., 
This is the Master said in the United States about a monk cut off. 
The story details were outlined in No. 427, the first story of Chapter IX. Here again the Teacher asked this monk: 
Is it true that the monks said he disobeyed the precepts? 
- Yes, White World. 
He said: 
- In the past, also because of disobeying the teachings of the wise man, he had to take a sharp razor wheel. 
Then he told a story of the past.

In the old days of the Buddha Kassapa (Ca-lettuce), in the Balinese town has a merchant owned up to eight hundred million, but only a son named Mittavindaka. His parents went in the direction of the reserve, but he is still a follower, not faith in the Tao. 
Later, when his father died, his mother replaced the administrator of the estate, she told me this way: 
- Baby, the body is difficult, so you give, practice merit, French headset. 
He replied: 
- Mother, there is no gift, practice anything with you, never remind them with me anymore, how you live, the next day you follow that karma. 
On a full moon day, when he said the same, his mother said: 
- Child, today is dedicated to pure boys day. So today, please make vows to keep the precepts, go to the monastery and listen to the Dharma all night, and when you come back, I will give you a thousand coins. 
Because of that amount of money, he was content. As soon as breakfast is over, he goes to the clinic, stays there all the time; From the beginning to the time of the apocalypse, none of this Dhamma falls into his ears. He went to a place and slept straight. The next day, from the morning, he washed his face and went home, plopping down. 
Now, his mother thought to himself, "Today, after hearing the Fa, my son will return early in the morning, leading the Elder who preached the Fa." So, she cooked porridge available, with all kinds of hard and soft food, prepared seats finished, waiting for her children. When she saw me going alone, she asked 
, "Why do not you bring the Sorcerer? 
- Mother, there are no wizards to teach your child. Answer. 
Mother said: 
- Then the soup porridge go. 
He said: 
- Mother promised me a thousand coins, Mom. Firstly, give money to your children, then donate porridge. 
- Hush porridge before you go, then you will get that money. 
He said: 
- No, I do not want porridge until you get the money. 
So the mother bagged a thousand in front of him. He immediately porridge, then he took a thousand thousand pocket money to do his work; And so on, he soon earned two million. 
At that time, he suddenly realized that he wanted to get a ship and go to work on it. So you ship the ship, then tell her mother: 
- Mother you intend to go to work on this ship. 
The mother replied, 
"You are my only child, But in my house there are many properties already; The sea is full of danger, do not go. 
But he said: 
- You decided to go, she can not stop me. 
She continued: 
- Hey, you want to stop me. 
Then she took his hand, and he threw her arms out and she fell, and in a moment, he was deformed, hurry to the road. 
On July, due to the presence of Mittavindaka, the ship stood motionless on the deep sea. People draw and all three times they hit Mittavindaka. So they gave him a raft and said: 
- Do not let many people die just because of this one. 
Then they let him drift in the ocean, just after a moment, the ship rushed abruptly at sea. 
The boy on the raft drifted to another island. There, in a glass palace, He suddenly saw four girls. In the past, ghosts often suffered seven days of suffering and enjoyed seven happy days. To befriend them, enjoy the pleasure of fairies. 
Then when the time came for them to suffer, they said to him , "Brother, we are about seven days from now, while we are away, please stay here and be sad. 
After saying this, they say goodbye. 
Song boy, full of aspirations, again off the raft, and cross the ocean, to another island, here in a silver palace, he saw eight other women. As such, he saw on an island of sixteen women in a jewel, and on another, thirty-two women in a gold bow. Just like before, with these maidens, he enjoyed his fairy-tale fantasies, and when they went away to suffer the torture, he went off to sea again, Floating on the ocean, until the end he saw a capital city with four large and cumbersome gates. It is said to be the Ussada, where many sentient beings are subjected to their karmas, but to Mittavindaka, it seems like a great city. Noodle. He thought: "I want to visit that city and be king there. 
So he came in, saw a living creature carrying a razor sharp wheel, but for Mittavindaka, it seemed that the knife wheel on the other's head looked like a blossoming lotus, The chains on his chest are different from the luxurious gowns, the blood flowing over his head like a chopped reddish-wood powder, and the moaning of the voice is the sweetest voice in the world. So he approached and said: 
"Hey man, you brought that lotus for a long time, now give it to me. 
He replied: 
- Sir, it is not a lotus, but it is razor sharp. 
The boy said, 
"Well, he said that because he did not want to give it to me. 
The miserable sinner thought: "All my past karma has been eradicated. Obviously this person is just like me coming here for hitting his mother. Okay, I'll give it this knife wheel. " He said: 
- Hey, take the lotus. 
With that said, he dropped the knife on his head, fell to the top of his head, and dug deep into it, and immediately, Mittavindaka knew it was a knife wheel, he said, 
"Get your wheels!" 
And he was screaming in pain, but he was gone. 
At that moment, the Bodhisatta and his entourage went out to Ussada, and to that place, Mittavindaka saw him, shouting 
, "Lord, god of the gods, this wheel Puncturing and tearing at my head as if the chubby crushed mustard seeds, what crime did you commit? 
He just asked, just drenched two rhymes: 
1. This iron built four high gate, 
now trapped in the trapped foot, 
Around the children, crowded cover, 
I have caused karma. 
2. Now shut the gates 
and the wheel destroy the 
cocks. 
Why star, Uranus? 
At that time, the master of the immersion of the rhyme to explain the problem to him clearly: 
3. He has ancient days ten thousand, 
Twenty more times, honoring him, 
however, he did not want 
Tai to listen to his friends talk. 
4. He rushed across the ocean 
A dangerous thing along the way, the 
Pharisee, four eight, he visited, 
sixteen she followed her eight. 
5. Next sixteen, to three, Two, 
Enjoy the pursuit of excitement, 
Now look here is rewarded with the pleasure 
wheel in his head. 
6. Anyone who travels to the highlands of education, the 
wide road wide wide, 
Infinity, they are not satisfied That 
they wear this wheel. 
7. Who does not want to distribute silver, Do 
not seek for righteousness, 
nor do they know how to do it 

8. 
Let's deduce the fact that you made your inheritance so full, 
Do not wish to be unfaithful, 
Practice what you are good advised, 
Never again 
will this wheel come to your body. 
Upon hearing this, Mittavindaka said to himself, "This angel has just explained exactly what I do. You certainly know the level of punishment me. " Then he recited the ninth verse: 
9. Tears Uranus, this time the 
wheel stick on the head? 
Several thousand years? XIn his teaching, 
Do not let me impatient implore. 
At that time, the Chief proclaimed the problem through the tenth verse: 
10. This wheel continues to rotate, 
but no 
resurrection appears. It engages him to death, 
Are you listening? 
After saying this, the Master returns to his realm, while the other sinks into extreme pain. 

After the end of the Dharma Dialogue, the Master recognizes the Precursor: 
- At that time, this liberated Bhikkhu was Mittavindaka, and I was the Master. 
-ooOoo-

440. The Black Hiatus (Kanha precursor)

There is a black man 
in the Kapilavathu in the Bodhi Forest, a smile. 
At that time, it was told that the Master was traveling with the Sangha in Bodh Gaya. At evening, at one place, he smiled a smile. Ananda said, 
"What is the reason, why did the Blessed One smile? Tathagata smiling is not without excuse. So I want to ask you. 
So Venerable bowed respectfully to the other smile, the master said: 
- In the past, this Ananda, there is a wise man named Kanha lived here, dedicated meditation, and pleasure In meditation, thanks to the power of his merit, Sakka's bow, the God of Shaky shakes. 
But because the explanation of the smile is not clear enough, According to the request of the Elder, the Buddha told a story of the past. 

One day, when King Brahmadatta reigned in Balaa, there was a Brahmin without children, but his wealth amounted to eight and ten million vows, he vowed to keep virtue and pray for himself. In this brahmin's pregnant wife is pregnant Bodhisattva, then due to his black color, on the naming ceremony, parents choose his name is Kanha - Kumaran Black male Death to 
the sixteenth Aged as majestic as a precious jewel, he was accompanied by his father to study in Takkasil, where he was taught full of art literature, and returned home. Then his father married him a wife of good quality pair. Over time, he inherited the estate of his parents. 
One day, after examining the treasure, Sitting on a splendid chair, holding a golden plate in his hand, read on the disc the words written by his forefathers: "A lot of the property he earned, a lot of money. Silver made by the other ... "He thought to himself," These gold and silver makers are gone now, but gold and silver are still there; No one can take them with you when you leave your life; We can not make gold into a bundle, and then bring it to another world. 
Seeing that the wealth associated with the Year of the Exercises, the distribution of this wealth is better; Seeing that this ephemeral body was associated with many illnesses, it was a matter of reverence and benevolence to the virtuous ones to bring more benefits; Seeing that this frivolous life is fleeting for a few moments, diligent meditation practice is a higher part. 
Then these frivolous gold and silver will be used to give all, because in this way we will enjoy much better. "So he came up from his seat, after asking the king to agree, he was very generous. generous. 
On Saturday, gold and silver did not decline, he thought: "What does this jewelry mean to us? While we have not yet been tied up by old age, we would like to now take the vows of ordination; I decided to practice the Wandering and the Zen, I decided to reborn in the realm of Brahma. So he ordered the doors of the house to be opened, and then the householder took his wealth, gave him generous donation, discarded it as an impure object, withdrew the craving of vision, and cries With so many tears of relatives relinquishing, he departed from the city, to the Snow Mountain. 
There he lived in a monolithic way, And when he went to find a peaceful place to stay, he saw this place, and then decided to stay; Choose the gourd as the place to live, he lived there, sleeping right under the pot. Never dwelling in the village, he became a forest dweller, he never set up a leaf hut, but only under the tree, outdoors, rested or if he wanted to lie just above. ground. 
He did not use a pestle, but only used his teeth to crush food, he ate only non-cooking food with firewood, never a grain of shell reached his mouth, he only ate once a day and just sat Eat once On earth, it seems that he was in harmony with the four as a monk, he lived the virtue of the ascetic masters. In the forerunner, as we know it, the Bodhisatta is very sexual. 
So soon, He attained the Wisdom and Zen Meditation (the five divine powers: Abhinnà and the eight levels of jhana) and he lived there in the joy of meditation. About the fruit of the forest, he did not go anywhere, when the fruit grew on the tree, he ate the fruit; In the flowering season, he ate flowers; When leaves grow, they eat leaves; When there are no leaves, you eat bark. In the morning he often picked the fruit, never because of greed he stood up to pick any other tree. Where he sat, he reached out to pick up the fruit at his fingertips, he ate the fruit to his hand, without any taste. 
While he continued to seek such pleasure, thanks to his meritorious deeds, Sakka's throne was hotly lit (it is said that this throne is hot when the Divine Prefect is about to die. In general, or at the mercy of his extinction and end, 
Or when there is a praying mantra, or by virtue of the virtue of the Brahman, Brahmin powerful.) At that Thich Thien thought: "Who wants to make me leave? Look around, you see in the jungle, in one place where the Sage Kanha is living by picking up the fruit, he knows that it is a highly practiced ascetic man, Subdued, he thought: "I want to go to see him. I want to tell the dharma to raise my voice, and after listening to the teachings of the Dhamma bring peace, I will be a happy wisher, and will make the tree of fruitless people stop, then I will return. thick. " 
Then by psychic force, Thien all flew down the ceiling, standing behind sages, he soaked rhyme first shelf to try other wise there exasperated mind at the mention of his ugly looks reasonable: 
1. On the other hand, watching black people, 
living in this place is also black, 
Meat is eating black gray, the 
mind is not appropriate the gentle 
Sage Kanha heard him say: 
- Who told me? 
And thanks to its magical powers, he realized it was all God Sakka, should still without turning his head, he replied shelves rhyme Monday: 
2. Although panchromatic black, dear Jade Emperor, 
Our mind Ba-La- true Subject 
color is not fault, but evil 
cause dark personality always. 
And then, after explaining many kinds of mistakes and blamed the mistakes that made man into the dark ones, praising the virtues, he preached to the Divine Precept, just as he did. The moon rises in the middle of the sky. 
Thich Thien all heard God preached, heart very happy, immediately granted a wish Si mistreatment and soak rhyme shelves Tuesday: 
3. Speaking of smart, Career La-keeper, 
Expressing sublime, supreme Always 
choose what you desire, 
Choose according to the order of the soul. 
Hearing this, the Superintendent thought to himself, "I know how. He wants to try me, whether I'm angry when it comes to my ugly look; So he denigrated my skin color, my food. When we find that we are not angry, he is happy, he gives us a wish, he certainly thinks we are going to live this life in the hope of having the power of the Sakka God or Brahma, so now he trusts. I will choose four wishes: I wish to be calm, not anger towards those around me, not glorified glory of the people around me, Or craving love for the people around us. " 
Such thinking is done, to resolve doubts or divine owners, location wise rhyme shelf soaked Wednesday demanded four treaties: 
4. God Sak-ka all worldly 
Choose happiness, he gave orders, 
I To escape from anger, 
Toxic, to eliminate all greed, 
All four of this happiness, 
We often dream of devotion. 
At that time, Thich Thien master thinking: "Kanha sage, when choosing the wish has chosen four blissful peace without mistake. Now we must ask him about good and evil related to these four things. " Then he asked by reciting the fifth verse: 
5. In evil with greed, 
say ye, Traitor, 
see what is 
evil, answer me, please. 
- So let's listen to this: 
Master responded and felt the idea of ​​picking up these four rhymes: 
6. The idea of ​​being fed by hatred, 
born from a small grow up, 
Should be filled with grief, 
so I do not Want to be angry. 
7. It's so common to evil, 
first words, touching the body, 
Next to kicking, then the stick, 
after all the sword flickering ceiling, 
When malice, often indignantly, 
should be pleased we did not want Moan. 
8. When people, urged by greed, 
Phantom gradually increase with space, 
chase after the money looters, 
so we do not want greed. 
9. String fasteners by libido, 
still usually develops quickly 
In the heart, aching pain 
, I do not want my part. 
When the questions have been explained, the Divine Precept: 
- Dear Kanha, thanks to him, our questions have been answered quietly with the wisdom of an Enlightened, we are very happy because the throne; Now please choose another wish. 
Then the god of the 10th verse rhyme: 
10. Speech of the righteous, La-statue, 
Sublime, overwhelming, 
Choose what you wish, 
Choose according to the command of the soul. 
Immediately soak Bodhisattva shelves: 
11. Sak-ka, God's earthly home, 
he told me a favor, 
Mong place our mountain refuge, 
Where do I live single, 
disease does not harm peace and Net 
or breaking meditation shattered. 
Hearing this, Thich Thien thought: 
"When choosing a wish, the Kanha Sage chooses nothing to do with food, but what he chooses is related to spiritual life." The mind was more joyful, the goddess added another wish and To drench: 12. Speak very well, La-level, 
Highly expressive, Over winning, 
Choose what you wish, 
Choose according to the command of the soul. 
And Bodhisattva, when it comes to his wishes, had preached in rhyme shelves Post: 
13. Sak-ka, God's earthly home, 
he told me a favor, 
please do not harm any living being, 
Because I, whether oral, mind or body. 
Everywhere, this God, 
this prayer we still wish. 
Thus, in six cases, the great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, he chose only things related to the life of telecommunication. He understands the body must have disease and the Founder can not eliminate the disease of the body; Thich Thien Thien also can not clean for humanity in three doors Than, Khau, Italy. However, he still chose that wish to teach the Divine Master. 
Later, the goddess Thich Thien made the tree that year-round fruit, with his hands on his forehead bowed, he said: 
- Please Sage stay here is not sick. 
Then he went to his realm. And Bodhisattva never interrupted meditation, so later born to Brahma. 

After finishing this Dharma, the Great Teacher said 
, "This is where I was staying. 
Then he identified the precursor: 
- At that time, Anuruddha (Ananda) was Sakka and the Kanha Sage was Me.

442. Brahman Sankha Story (Sankha Precursor)

La-Tôn-pseudo-master, profundity ..., 
This is the teacher said in Yin-yang about offerings. 
It is said that in the city of Xa-guard, there is a layman, after listening to the Tathagata Dharma lecture, very happy heart so invited the monks the next day. At the door of the house, he erected a gorgeous ornamental home, then went on to say that it was time. The Master arrived with five hundred bhikkhus, and sat on the splendid cushion for him. The layperson, after offering luxury offerings to the monks' congregation with the supreme Buddha, invites them to raise them tomorrow; And so, for seven days, he invited them to give offerings, and on the seventh day he offered the requisites. At this donation ceremony, he presented the couples with special gifts. Harmony offering Buddha is worth a thousand gold. The two pairs of comrades of the two great disciples (Så-profit and five-branch-related) are worth five hundred, and the couples worth more than a hundred brass for other bhikkhus. 
After offering the requisite offerings to the monks, he sat down before the Blessed One with his congregation. After that, the Master responds with joy in a very gentle voice: 
"Your master, his generosity is so generous, please be happy. In ancient times, before the Buddha was born, there were people who offered a pair of comedians to a buddhist monk, the result of which is to find a place to stay in the sea without shelter; And now he just offered to the whole assembly of the Buddha all the necessary items for each monk, how much merit, If not this sacrifice will be the place to stay for him later? 
And at his request. He told a story of the past. 

In the past, Balinese town was named Molinì. While King Brahamadatta reigned in Molinì, a Brahmin named Sankha was very wealthy. He built alms in six places, one at each city gate, one in the middle of the city and one at his door. Every day he gave him six hundred thousand coins and for the many pilgrims and beggars. 
One day he thought: "Once the treasure is over, I have nothing else to give. So while the warehouse is not empty, I want to take the ship to the Golden Land and bring the wealth. " So he told the shipbuilding, filled with goods and when he said goodbye to his wife and children, he said: 
- You and your children do not stop rolling until I come back. 
Having said that, he took the umbrella, Wearing shoes with servants facing the harbor, he was about to depart. 
At that time, a Buddhist monk on top of Mount Gandhamàdana (Huong Son), was entering, saw the other on the road looking for gold thinking: "A monk is crossing the sea to find gold. Have you encountered anything on the sea that is hindering you? Then there will be. If you see me, will give me shoes and umbrella. And the result of this donation is that he will find a place to stay when the ship wrecked on the sea. I want to help him. " 
So fly through space, He humbled, not far from where pilgrims there, and then come to see him, walked on hot sand, hot as a pile of ash burns in the wind Fierce and fierce sun. Brahmin thought: "This is the opportunity to create merit, we must sow a seed today in this place." Very happy, 
He hurried to pay homage to him: - Dear Sun, - he said - please Venerable please come out of this way for a moment, come under the tree. 
Then, when he came to the seat of the tree, he wiped the sand off him, then he asked him to sit down, clean water, washed his feet, smeared oil, and from his feet. I, he took out the comedy wipe clean, perfume perfume, bring him, offered him the comedy parachute, begging for humor and umbrella over his head as he departed. The Buddha wanted to please him to receive the gifts, and while the Brahmins contemplated Him to grow the faith, He soared up to Mount Gandhmana. 
And Bodhisattva with full heart of joy, going to the harbor and board. 
When coming to the ocean on Saturday, The boat cracked and they could not slap. All people fear for their lives, all shouting together, each calling for one's own spirit. The master, picking a servant, rubbing oil all over himself, eating a pile of fine sugar mixed with fresh butter for pleasure, feeding the other, then he climbed the mast. 
He said: - On the other direction is my capital. 
Pointing his finger at the fish and turtles, he scrambled away with the man about fifty cubits. The other drowned, while the master and servant began to march on the sea. For seven days, he continued to swim. Even at that moment, he kept the whole day of the boys, gargling with salty water. 
At that time a goddess named Mani-Mekkhalà, It was ordered by the four divine emperors: "If you meet a sinking ship, and disaster occurs to a person who has taken refuge in the Triple Jewel, or full of morality, or worship the parents, then she must save." And to protect such people, the goddess lives on the sea. 
Thanks to her strength, she did not need to watch over that seven days, but on the seventh day, looking at the sea, she saw the brahmin Sankha virtue, thinking: "That over there. Had fallen into the sea, so far is the seventh day, if he dies, then I am very serious. " So anxious, she rushed into the golden plate full of heavenly food, As fast as the wind came to him, then stopped in front of him in the air and said: 
- Brahmin, he has not eaten seven days, so eat this way. 
The brahmin looked at her and replied: 
- Save her food, We are keeping the fast. 
His servant did not see the goddess, but only heard the sound, so he thought to himself, "This brahmin said babble, I'm sure his body was weak and hungry for seven days, and he was in pain. fear of death, I wanted to comfort him. "And he immediately started dipping rhyme shelves: 
1. La-subject venerable, profound level, 
venerable saint who fully assured, 
that to pay engineers, why should 
Hoai unprovoked center Mumbling, 
While there was nobody here who 
answered me, when discussing? 
The Ba-listener heard him, knowing that he did not see the god, should say: 
- Friend, not me afraid to die, but there is another here to talk to me. 
Then he recited the second verse: 
2. The angel appeared bright, 
giving us first to eat,

I answered her "no" good evening. 
Then he recited the third verse: 
3. If you see an angel, 
ask for a favor.

- You say so much - Brahmin said.

Brimming from introspection, joy, 
As the last step at him in the street. 
Look here food, peace, 
Many chariots, enough 
for him , For all his rights, 
What desire to find himself. 
As he heard this, the Taoist thought, "This is the goddess in the middle of the ocean," he told himself. Why do you want to give them to us? Was it because of one of our merits or of your own power that she did so? And he questioned this through the seventh verse: 
7. Sir, so the queen herself, 
Take the right to give her gifts, the 
United States fondness, the delicate, the 
Karma Do you create 
The goddess listened to him, thinking, "This Brahmin asked this, for he thought I did not know what good he did. I want to tell you right away. " So she answered him by the eighth verse: 
8. 
On the hot road alone, thirsty, tired, back aching, 
He stopped, bring objects, 
Present day is grace. 
As the Emperor heard this, he thought to himself, "In the midst of this difficult ocean, offering comedy becomes a blessing to us. Oh the presentation of gifts to a real Buddhist auspicious unicorn instead! "Then in great joy joy, he soaked ninth shelf: 
9. Please boats built with panels of smart, 
smooth sailing, raced,

The goddess was very nice when she heard these words, and made the ship appear, made of seven treasures, eight hundred cubits long, Width of six hundred cubit, depth of twenty strips (stripe = 1.82m). There were three masts of jade, gold laces, silver sails, oars and rudders of gold. In the boat, the goddess filled seven treasures, then hugged the Brahmin on the glittering boat. She did not pay attention to the attendant, but the Brahmins were still sharing the blessing. He was so happy and the goddess hugged him on the boat. At that time, she took the boat to the capital of Molinì and, having loaded her jewelery into the Brahmaput's warehouse, she returned to her abode. 

The Master with Wisdom Wisdom, took a last dipping rhyme:

For example, people make you ladies ..., 
This is the teacher said in Ky Vien about a temper or temper. 
This person, after his ordination, practice, practice Dhamma to liberation, full bliss, can not tame his anger. His heart is full of resentment, hatred; But less talk, so when angry, attracted to the temper, he became stingy and hard to teach. When he heard of his temper, the Master called him in and asked if he was really angry as rumor. He replied:

He said: 
- I do not need gold, I will go to the Snow Mountain, become a hermit and find a residence there. 
- Well, ladies and gentlemen, Only men can be ordained only? 
He replied: 
- Not so, women are also. 
- Then I do not want to take what he sprayed from the mouth, because I also do not like gold than gold, I also want to reclimate like him. 
- Good lady, good luck! 
Then they distributed distributing most of the property and the monk. To a peaceful land of hermitages, they live on the fruit of the forest that they earn, and so live for ten full years, yet have not attained the meditation of the saint. 
So after a period of living there, enjoying the happiness of their seclusion for ten years, they crossed the countryside to find salt and spices, and headed for Balaclava. Stay in the garden of the royal palace. 
Now, 
One day the king saw the attendant give a gift in his hand, he said: - I want to celebrate in the royal court , so arrange for the wedding. 
And when the garden was cleaned up and ready, the king came in there with his servants in a large escort. 
At that time, both of them were in a place in the royal palace, enjoying the pleasure of religious life. And when the king passed by, the two men sat there; And as soon as his eyes met the lovely girl, he fell in love immediately. His heart trembled with desire for sex, he decided to ask her what was the relationship with that hermit; So when he approached the Bodhisatta, the king asked him immediately. Bodhisatta replied: 
- Great king, she has nothing to do with me now; She lived with me only in life, but before we live in the world, She was my wife. 
Hearing this, the king thought to himself, "So he told the other girl nothing was wrong with him, but while living secular, she was his wife. Okay, what if you use the kingship to capture her? So I want to take her. " And the king came near and took a sip: 
1. For if they make you grateful, 
round eyes, and robbed him, the 
sitting love is laughing buddy, 
what will he do, daddy? 
The second time, the second time, the second time, the second time, the answer was: 
2. When it came up, it 
never left Never again, my whole life, 
As the rain cleared as dust, 
Extinguish it just now. 
The Respondent responded as loudly as a lion. But the king, though he did, Still can not control his passionate heart, due to blind ignorance, ordered the courtier to take her to the palace. 
The need to obey orders to lead her away, though she was groaning that evil doing evil is the norm of the world, and Bodhisattva hear her cry, he only looked once, not look anymore. So she was thrown into the room while crying out loudly. 
The King of Baal was no longer waiting in the royal patio, but quickly returned to the palace, invited her to attend and gave her a lot of honor. But she said those glories were not worth it, and only living life was noble. The king found it impossible to conquer her heart, so she kept her in a private room and began to think, "This is an ascetic woman who does not care about all this glory, And the hermit did not show anger as the servant took away such a beautiful lady. But hermits often have deceit; He is certainly planning to harm me. Alright, I want to go back to see you and find out why you're still there. "And so he could not sit still. 
At that time, the Bodhisattva was patching his heel. The king only go alone should go to the place, gentle step does not make noise. The Bodhisatta continued to patch up his shirt, not looking at the king. The king thought, "This man does not want to talk to me because he's angry. This ascetic is a scoundrel, first yelling, "I do not want to upset my hatred, but if it arises, I will extinguish it at an early age," and then I hate to wear long sleeves so he does not want to talk to me! ". With this thought, the king recited the third verse: 
3. 
He loudly boast or, About a minute ago, 
Nay silent in anger 
he sat there sewing. 
When the Emperor heard this, he understood that the king thought he was silent with anger, and wanted to show that he was not overwhelmed by his wrath, so he sat in the fourth verse: 
4. Whenever he was born, 
Never will it leave me, 
As the rain settles down ashes, 
I stampede it small new. 
When he heard these words, he thought, "Does this person speak of anger or something else? I want to ask you clearly ". Then the king recited the fifth verse: 
5. That which can not leave you, 
Never, throughout life? 
As the rain settles down ash, what does 
he stamp out? 
The other replied: 
- Sir, Such anger often brings more suffering, more disastrous, cruel; It just started in me, but by cultivating compassion, I extinguished it. 
Then he recited the following verse to preach the suffering of hatred: 
6. Man is not it, see clear, 
there it is, blind in front of the path, 
It starts in I can not escape, 
Court yard Nourished by si mad. 
7. What delight in lamb, 
Who wants to heart we must suffer sadness, 
In the beginning we can not escape, 
Hat yard, nourished by si mad. 
8. The thing, if you revolt in yourself. 
Eclipsing people in good looks, We 
have not been able to escape, 
Hate, nourished by ignorance. 
9. What harms unparalleled merit, 
Make the fool who makes a 
mistake, violent, shattering, terrible, 
Do not leave me anymore, it is the yard. 
10. The fire will rise, it will be bigger, 
If each fuel is set up, 
Because the fire goes up forever, 
Fuel must burn itself. 
11. Also in the mind of the idiots, 
he can not recognize that 
arise outrage from the controversy 
So reputation must be ruined. 
12. What anger rose fire 
With the fire burning wood charcoal, 
As the moon half a night dark night, 
the blessings go away, ruined gradually. 
13. Those who control the heart of the yard, 
Like fire without charcoal, 
As the moon half a month light up, 
the virtue of the other increases. 
When the king had heard the Great Master lecture the Dharma, the heart was very happy, ordered a courtier to lead the woman, and invited the hermit at the same court to stay with her in the royal court for enjoyment. And the king promised to take care of them as his duty. Then the king asked for two forgiving forgiveness and respectfully dearly departed. So they stayed there. 
Gradually later, the woman died and after her death, the hermit returned to the Tết Sơn area, practicing the Wandering and the Zen Meditations, making the Four Noble Truths (four Phenomena: Bi, Hỉ, Rả) arise in the heart, so he was born into the Brahma. 

When the Master discontinues the Dharma, he preaches the Truth. At the conclusion of the Truth, the monk or other anger has been lodged in the Fruit. 
Then he identified the forerunner: 
- At that time, Rahula's mother was a hermit. Ananda is the other king and the hermit is Me. 
-ooOoo-

444. The Story of the Dark Clouds of the Diaspora (Kanhad-Pàyana)

The seven days of mind are free, ... 
This is how the Master recounts the Qur'an on a bent poet. 
This situation will be explained in the Kusa precursor (No. 531). When the teacher asked if the rumor was true and the bhikkhu answered correctly, he said: 
- Bhikkhu, before ancient times Buddha appeared in life, the minds, even the A practitioner who practices a doctrine that does not follow the Dhamma, for more than fifty years of walking in the Divine without a zealous interest, but because of its prudent nature, never tells anyone or knows the He was rotten. Now why did he practice my Dhamma to liberate him, and he was standing in front of a Buddha, like me, How dare he reveal his rottenness to four disciples? Why do not you keep your prudence? 
After saying this, he told a story of ancient times. 

Once upon a time, in the country of Vamsa, a reigning king at Kosambi dubbed Kosambika. At that time, there were two Brahmins in the other town, each of whom had assets of eight hundred million dong and were close friends, both of them, after perceiving the harm of craving, And divided the wealth for generosity, renounce the secular amid the mourning of many relatives, departing towards Snow Mountain, set up hermits there for himself. At that place for fifty years, two hermit living, reared by the fruit, bulbs of forest that they two accidentally earned; But they can not attain Zen. 
After fifty years has passed, They traveled through the countryside asking for salt and condiments, back to the kingdom of Kàsi. In one of the townships of this country there is a proprietor named Mandavya, who was once a former hermit of the hermit of the Diaspora. The two went to visit this Mandavya; As soon as they saw the two, the landlord was very excited, immediately built for two amateur paintings, providing all kinds of necessities of the hermit life. They stayed there three or four seasons, and left him, heading for Balaclava, where they entered the graveyard at Atimuttaka. When Dipiyana was there for a while, he returned to his old friend again; And Sun-Mandavya, the hermit, remained in place. 
At that time, one day there was a robbery robbery in the town, and returned from there with some stolen possessions. Homeowners, guards, Ran out shouting "thief" and the thief was chased by these people, escaped through a sewer and while running around the cemetery, he dropped the package at the door of the hermit's house . 
When the host saw the package, he cried out: - Oh fuck! He is a robber robbery at night, and in the day he went around the monastery of religious practice. 
Then defamed, punched, they brought him to see the king. 
He did not say anything to the investigator but said: 
- Lead it out and pile on it. 
They took him to the graveyard, put him in the acacia wood stakes. But the pillar did not penetrate the body of the hermit, and then they brought in another stake, but this did not puncture him, followed by an iron pile, nor could he pierce his trunk. He wondered what actions of his past had caused this, In the past, in his mind, he began to perceive the past, so looking back, he saw things that had been done for a long time, the puncture of a fly on a piece of ebony. 
The story is that in a previous life, he was the son of a carpenter. One day, he went to where his father used to cut trees and he used a piece of ebony to pierce a fly like a stake in it. He discovered the crime at this critical time. He realized that it was impossible to escape old karma, so he said to his servants, 
"If you want to stake me, get an ebony pole. 
They follow, and piles on him, leaving behind a guard and leaving. 
The guards from a hiding place observed everything that happened to him. At that time, Djiboutian thought: "I met my friend a long time ago", wanted to find you. When you heard that you were stuck hanging all day long side of the road, he went to stand by you and ask what you did. 
- Do nothing. He replied. 
And the other said 
, "I have not seen any anger of those who have arrested me, neither have I repented of you; There is no resentment in our minds. 
If so, the shade of a virtue like this is enough to bring peace for our lives. 
With these words, he sat down next to the pole. Mandavya's body drops a few drops of blood on his friend's body. Because they fall into the yellow skin and dry as if the black dots on it, causing him to have the name Kanha dark Diaspora from then on. And he sat still at the place all night. 
Tomorrow, 
The soldiers told him everything, he said: - I acted too hastily. 
Then he rushed to the place, asking him what had caused him to sit at the stake. He replied: 
- Great King, the god sitting here to watch you. But let him know what he has done, or abandon what has not done, that the Great King treated so? 
The king explained that the matter has not been investigated. The other replied: 
- Great king, a king must act cautiously; A liberal, liberal man is not good, and so on. 
And he also advised the king to add something like that. 
When the king saw Mandavya innocent, he ordered the pluck up. But even if they do their best, they can not spit. Mandavya said: 
- Great King, The god who suffered this infamy was guilty of a mistake committed in the ancient times, so it was impossible to pluck it out of this body. But if the Great King wants to save the network, please bring the saw, cut the pile across the skin. 
The king said to do so; So the stake in his body is still there. Because it is said that once he had a small diamond pierced the bile duct of a fly so that it does not die until it reaches the end. So he did not die at all. Story like that. 
And the king bowed to the two hermit, apologize, and brought them to live in the royal court, and took care of them in that place. Since then, Mandavya has been called the "Mandavya bearing-pile", which lives in this place close to the king. After the healing of the wound, you return to the old owner Mandavya. When the servant sees this person entering the old amenity, he goes to inform the owner. Boss heard heart very happy, along with his wife and children brought many flavors, Corolla, oil, road to hermitage, bowed Dipayana, foot washing and rubbing balm for this position is done, bring invite drink and sit Listen to the story of the Mandavya-pillar-hermit. 
Then the son of the owner was son Yannadatta, playing with the ball at the end of the porch. There, there was a snake in an ant. The boy's ball was thrown to the ground, pushing into the hole and falling to the snake. For not knowing this, he reached into the hole. Snake angrily bit his arm, causing him to fall unconscious because the snake venom is too strong. Then he saw the parents are bitten, immediately lift you up and bring other hermit, laid him at the foot of this position and say: 
- Venerable Sir, Practitioners often know the herbs and spells, ask the vicar to cure our baby. 
- I do not know anything about herbal medicine, I do not work as a physician. 
- Sir, he is a monk asked for mercy on this boy and made a sincere prayer. 
- Well done - the hermit said - I will make a sincere prayer. 
Then just set up the first set Yannadatta, he had just started dipping rhyme shelves: 
1. Seven days really leisurely mind, 
purity of life is estimated up, 
Since then fifty years of seclusion, 
Focus confided my true words; 
This place we live without want, 
This truth wishes to create blessings, To make 
venom is no longer effective, 
This boy will wake up gradually. 
Soon, when this True Prayer was made, the poison came out of Yannadatta's chest and went down to the ground. The boy opened his eyes to his parents and said: 
- Mummy! 
Then he turned to lie down. At that time the Diaspora told his father: 
- Hey, I have used up my ability, now it's time to use your ability. 
The father said, 
"Then I will make a sincere prayer. 
Then just put my hand on chest son, he just soak rhyme shelves Monday: 
2. There is little interest in offerings 
I brought all passers Deals, 
But the sage never knew 
I had to restrain myself; 
Although generosity, we are reluctant, 
May the words create a gift, 
Make the venom into a void, 
This boy has been woken up. 
After he made this sincere prayer, from the back of the poisoned boy came out and went underground. He sat up, but could not stand up. At that time the father said to the mother: 
- Lady, I have used all my capacity, now she uses her power to vow the truthful words to make her son stand up and walk. 
My wife said: 
- I also have a truth to say, but in front of you I can not speak. 
He said: 
- Lady, use all the way to make my son recover. 
She said: 
- That is very good. 
And her True Prayer is given in the third verse: 
3. Snake bites you just now, 
lying in the hole baby, 
And that father and son, 
This is one, in the heart of the mother's indifferent, 
May this truth bring the virtues, 
Nibbling, children dream dream! 
Soon this True Prayer was made, all the venom was pouring out and coming down to the ground. Yannadatta stood up, his entire body was cleared of toxins, so he started to play. When the boy has recovered, the owner Mandavya asks about the mind of Djibouta in the fourth verse: 
4. People are born, the luminous , the mundane, the mind is not indignant 

except Kan-ha , Star rot, do 
not expect to step up religious practice? 
In reply to this, the other rhymes the fifth verse: 
5. Exit and return to the mundane, 
Maybe people think: "The stupid!", 
It is this that we step back, 
I still practice the saint. 
However, I no longer vow, 
I follow the path of the cause by: 
praise from the human mind, 
is the way of the good person. 
After explaining his way of thinking like this, he asked Mandavya again in the sixth verse: 
6. This place is like a restaurant, 
containing food to offer Laith 
, Visitors, 
satisfying hunger, hunger, 
fear of what is causing bad reputation, 
should reluctantly let go. 
It is Mandavya's turn to explain his idea through the seventh verse: 
7. Keep the holy things of your fathers, Your benefactors 

In the old 
days, 
My fear will turn into a recession, 
Should be reluctant still give. 
After saying, Mandavya wife asked through eighth rhyme shelf: 
8. As a naive young women, 
I married the music itself in, 
she did not tell my heart indifferent 
How she lived her life, 
not the mount Why do not 
you stay in the house, 
Ladies and gentlemen, 
Live cold life with us. 
The wife responds to the ninth verse: 
9. It is not the style, The 
wife is the husband, 
Never, so I still, 
Hold on to the other, do not afraid that 
I was deceived by the viewer. chemical, 
righteous fear rumors hung, 
Made me stay and live 
There is no love, still cold. 
After saying this, one thought came to her: "Now that I have said the secret to my husband, the secret has never been told! He may be angry with me; So I want to apologize to you in the presence of this hermit who is my sincere friend! "For this purpose, she recited the tenth verse: 
10. Now tell me, 
Things are not worth it. My words 
, my wish for forgiveness, 
Nothing more than my mother's love, 
Yan-na, our child 
Previously died, revived now! 
"Lady, stand up," Mandavya said, "I forgive you. From now on, do not be discouraged with me; Then I will never bother you. 
While the Bodhisatta told Mandavya: 
- While gathering a lot of unrighteous wealth, then you distribute generous donations , but do not believe that the action is a happy seed yielding fruitful results, as So you're wrong. In the future, believe in the merit of giving, and give gifts. 
The homeowner promised to do so, and in turn told himself to the Bodhisatta: 
- Lord, it is also wrong for the worshiper to receive our offerings on the way of the holy way that the heart does not aspire to practice. . Now, for the sake of the Venerable Master to bring many blessings abundant, from now onwards, the Prophet walks up in the Path with serene peace and full of bliss. 
Then the two grandparents leave the senior and leave. 
Thenceforward, The wife loves her husband, the owner of Mandavya keeps the pure mind, brings alms with trust; The Bodhisattva dispels the rotten heart, and practice the meditation meditation should be born in the Brahma. 

When this Dharma talk ends, the Master declares the Truth. At the conclusion of the Truths, the bhikkhu of the retreat was taken aboard the Precinct (Project). 
Then he identified the forerunner: 
- At that time, Ānanda was the owner of Mandavya; Visakha is the wife, Sariputta is the Mandavya bearing-pile, and the Diaspora is Myself. 
-ooOoo- * When this Dharma talk ends, the Master declares the Truth. At the conclusion of the Truths, the bhikkhu of the retreat was taken aboard the Precinct (Project). Then he identified the forerunner: - At that time, Ānanda was the owner of Mandavya; Visakha is the wife, Sariputta is the Mandavya bearing-pile, and the Diaspora is Myself. -ooOoo- * When this Dharma talk ends, the Master declares the Truth. At the conclusion of the Truths, the bhikkhu of the retreat was taken aboard the Precinct (Project). Then he identified the forerunner: - At that time, Ānanda was the owner of Mandavya; Visakha is the wife, Sariputta is the Mandavya bearing-pile, and the Diaspora is Myself. -ooOoo-

445. The Story of the King (Nigrodha)

Who is that person, I do not like ..., 
This is the teacher told Truc Lam about Devadatta. 
One of these, the monks said this: 
- The gentleman Grandma Mahagandha, master of the savior so much sage! From the Teacher, the sages have been full of the Sub-world and the Great; Sages have learned the Tripitaka is the voice of the Buddha; The sage has given rise to meditation in the mind of the righteous; Glory is the benefice of the Beneficent deity. 
Hearing this he put up a grass and said: 
- I do not see a benefit that Gotama Got created for me, even with this grass. 
Increase them to discuss it in the Chief Justice. When the Master came in, he asked them what they were discussing while sitting there. They submit to Him, He said: 
- Monks, This is not the first time, as long as it is now, Madame-Gotama has been ungrateful and betrayed friends. 
Then he told the monks an old story: 

In ancient times, a great king named Magadha ruled in Ragga (Rajasthan). 
One businessman in the city married home to his son a wife, the daughter of a businessman in the countryside. But she does not reproduce. Over time, for that reason, the respect for her decreased; All the family can talk to her can hear like this: 
- When there is a wife does not spawn in the house, how can our son follow the lineage? 
When this incident reached her ears forever, she told herself: "Okay, I'll pretend to be pregnant to deceive them." 
So she asked her good old breasts: 
- What should pregnant women do? 
And when she was told what to do to keep the baby she covered her menstrual period, showing her interest in eating new sour tastes. As her limbs begin to rise, she asks them to hit her limbs and her back until they swell; She slowly wrapped her around with rags and cloth to make her body grow bigger; She rubbed her nipples again, and with the exception of the model, no one was allowed to be with her while she was showering. Her husband also looked after her carefully to suit the situation. 
After nine months in this scene, she expressed her desire to return to her parents' home. So she left her parents-in-law, got into the car and some of the servants left Rajagaha behind, straight on the road. 
At that time there was a carriage in front of her, and she always came in for breakfast at the place where the car had just departed. One night, a poor woman in the convoy gave birth to a son under a banyan tree; And thought that if there was no convoy she would not be able to go any further, but if she lived, she could get the baby, so she wrapped it, leaving it under the banyan tree. The god of this tree takes care of the baby: that is not a normal baby, but the Bodhisattva has appeared in life in that form. 
At breakfast time, the other caravan came to that place. And she and her model went separately to the shade of banyan tree to wash, suddenly saw the baby yellow dazzled there. Moments later, she called her nan specimen that their goal had already been achieved; She opened the layers of fabric wrapped her belly, Claiming the baby was her baby and she had just born it. 
The attendants immediately set up their own shelter and sent a letter to Rajagaha. Her parents-in-law replied that the baby was born so she did not have to go back to her father's house, but backtrack. So she immediately returned to Rajagaha. And when the baby was named, they named it where it was born, Nigrodha Kumar or Little Boy. 
On the same day, the daughter-in-law of a businessman on his way home to his father's parents for a baby, gave birth to a baby boy under the tree so they named it Sakka Kumar or Guan Yin. And the same day, the tailor's wife working for this trader gave birth to a boy in her crumbs, naming him Pottika or Little Stuffer. 
The great man went to find these two children, for sentient beings on the same day as the Daughters, and fed them together. 
The children grew up, later went to Takkasilà to complete the study. Both sons and daughters of merchants receive two thousand VND to pay tuition fees for teachers, Dafa Daughters sponsored the study for Pottika. 
When the study was completed, they left the teacher and departed with the intention to learn the customs of the countryside, so as to clambering, while arriving in Paris, immediately lay down rest, in A shrine. 
At that time, King Balajar had been dead for seven days. There is a drum command announcing throughout the city that tomorrow there will be carriage ceremony ceremony. These three friends are sleeping under the tree, in the morning, Pottika wake up, just sitting rubbing his feet. There are several roosters on the tree, The chickens on the tree drop a drop of feces on the chicken near the tree. 
This child asked: - What fell on me like this? 
The other son said: 
- Please do not be angry, I do not intentionally do so. 
- So you think my body is the place to drop uncle or not? I do not know my value, it is clear! 
Hearing that, the chicken replied, 
"Oh, he's been raging forever, even though I said I did not mean to do it. So how is your value? 
- Everyone who kills me to eat meat will get a thousand coins this morning. Is not that something to be proud of? 
- Uh oh! Uh oh! The other chicken responds. Take pride in that trivia! Hey, if you kill me and eat my fat, you will become king this morning. And if eating meat in the belly will become a general; Anyone who eats meat in the breast will become a treasurer. 
Pottika listened to all this. He thought: "A thousand coins ...! What's this? To be the king is the best! "So 
gently climbed the tree, he grabbed the rooster crows on the tree, killed it and roasted the chicken on charcoal, bring the chicken fat for his Da, I eat meat around my breastbone. When he finished eating, he said: 
- Duke Da, today he will be king; Dear Prince, you will be a general today; And I will be treasurer. 
The other two asked how to know it, he immediately told it all. 
So around lunchtime during the day, his dad went to Baal. At a Brahmin's house, they were served a rice porridge, with fresh butter and sugar, and from the city to the royal palace. 
He lay down a rock, the other two lying next to him. At that time, the people celebrated the procession with the five symbols of kingship (sword, crown, comedy, fan) on it. (The details of this story will be described in the story of the Mahājanaka Precursor, vol. 539, volume VI). Wang walked in and stopped, standing ready to step up. There must be a great talent here. " The official said to himself. He stepped into the sitting room, saw the young man, and opened the fabric under his feet to observe the signs on it. 
He said: - Oh, this person is numbered as the king of alliance (India), say nothing of a single city Ba-la complain. 
And he ordered the bell, the bar was raised. 
He woke up throwing the cover of his face, saw a crowd around him! He turned around to lie awkwardly for a moment and then rose up to sit with his feet ... The priest kneeled down: 
- God, this kingdom belongs to you. 
- Okay, that's it. Answer. 
The priest immediately put him on a pile of treasures and then the empowerment (sprinkle holy water), his father. 
When he was so crowned, the king gave the General to Nhan, and entered the capital in a majestic setting, while Potika went in with them. 
From that day onwards, the ruler ruled very well in Bala. 
One day suddenly remembered his parents, he told Gen. Nhanh: 
- My friend, I can not live without parents. So bring a group of people looking for my body. 
General Nhanh refused: 
- That is not my thing. He said. 
Then he told Pottika to do it. Pottika obeyed on the way to the home of the King's father, Tell them that their son was king, and expect them to come with you. But they refuse, saying that they have both the power and the rich, so full, they do not want to go anymore. He also invited General Nhanh to the court, but they just prefer to stay there; 
And when he came back to invite himself, they said: - We live by sewing, that's enough, enough. 
And they also refuse like the other. 
Because he did not meet the aspirations of the elderly, he returned to Balaclava. He thought that he would return home and relax for the sake of his journey at the General's house before meeting King Da, and then went to the other house. He told the gate guard: 
- Please advise the General that Pottika's friends come here. 
He obeys. General Nhan still has a grudge against him, 
For he told the other that he had given his kinship to his dear friends instead of himself, so when he heard this message, the general raged: "Are you friends?" Who is its friend? It's just a vulgar, inferior, stupid guy. Get it right! 
So they kicked him, pounded him with his legs, elbowed his body, then grabbed his neck and threw him out. 
He thought: "Having achieved the position of General General thanks to me, yet now it betrayed, cruel, beat me and threw me out to the road. But Da is a gentle, gracious and kind man, and I will go and see him. "So he 
came to the palace, reporting to the king that his friend Pottika was waiting at the door. 
When the king invited him, when he came near, he immediately stood up, approached him, greeted him very close; He ordered to shave his hair and take care of the man and make up for him with gold jewelery, catering to him full of delicacies. Finished the king again sitting next to him inquiring to his father, he reported to him that they refused to come here. 
At that time, General Nhanh thought, "Maybe Pottika will libel us in the king's ears, but if we come to him, he will not be able to speak." So he came too. And Pottika, despite the presence, told the king: 
- Queen, when I tired tired from the distance, came to General Nhanh, hoping to rest there before then to see him later. General Nhanh said: "I do not know that guy!" Then treat the gods badly, and grab the ancient neck to throw out! May God bless the gods say. 
Along with these words, he recited three rhymes: 
1. Who is that person, I do not like, 
Who is his father, and 
also asked: Who is it? 
Thank you, what's up with this? 
2. Servant Nhan kept 
yelling, punching, slapping me all over, and 
then catching me in the neck, 
from which I dragged my throat out. 
3. Betrayal like this for me, 
Only the wicked just do it, The 
grace of money means disgrace, 
His friend also, Supreme God! 
Listening to these words, the king was immersed in four verses 
4. I never heard, nor to 
anyone who has talked like this, 
as far as you are reporting, as 
he has done here. 
5. You and me, live with Saka-kha 

You won for each one, 
Direction kings, give us two, 
Glory we are thanks to you, 
There is no doubt that. 
6. When the seed is thrown in the flames of fire, 
then the seed can not be planted. 
I do good deeds for the wicked, 
likewise it decays. 
7. They are not like many grateful 
people, virtuous people, mercenaries, 
good land, the grain did not throw away, 
As work for the good. 
While the king was soaked, Gen Nhanh stood still. Then the king asked: 
- Do you Nhan, do you recognize this guy Pottika? 
He was silent. The king passed on this man through the words of the eighth verse: 
8. This humble summary, 
Think it bad moment, 
Think it! Because I let it die, 
What does it mean to me? 
After Pottika heard this, he thought in his heart: "Do not let this fool die for me!" So he recited the ninth verse: 
9. Great king, hoping to open the amount of compassion, 
It is difficult to find life. Lost, 
God lover for it live, the 
gods hope the bastard no more. 
When the king heard this, he forgave him; And he wanted to give the General to Potika, but he did not. Then the king appointed the bourgeoisie, and with that office, he judged the merchants. Previously no such position, but this position exists from here onwards. Gradually, with time, Chottika was fully blessed with sons and daughters. 
10. We need to live with Ni-gro-dha 
It's no good to serve Saka-kha, 
If you have to live with the Great, General, 
It is better to die with the King. 

When the Dharma talks ended, the Master said, 
"So, monks, you see that the past has reached gratitude. 
Then He identified the Forerunner: 
- At that time, Grandma-maxi was Sakaha, Ananda was Pottika, and Nigrodha was Me. 
-ooOoo- Then He identified the Forerunner: - At that time, Grandma-maxi was Sakaha, Ananda was Pottika, and Nigrodha was Me. -ooOoo- Then He identified the Forerunner: - At that time, Grandma-maxi was Sakaha, Ananda was Pottika, and Nigrodha was Me. -ooOoo-

446. The Story of the Tree (Kkala precursor)

No vegetables to boil, no action ... 
This story, the teacher said in Ky Vien about a layman to serve his father. 
It is said that this person is reborn in a poor family. After his mother died, he used to get up early in the morning and write toothpicks with mouthwashes, then hired laborers or plow fields. He often cooked rice porridge to support his father in a style that suited his situation. His father said: 
- Baby, I have to do everything from home to the street. Well, let the father find a wife for her, she will do housework for you. 
He replied: 
- Father, if there is a woman to this house, they will not be father and son can not be reassured. Please do not dream of it anymore. When I was alive, I wanted to take care of my father, and when my father died, I would know what to do. 
But the father goes to find a girl, Although my child does not want to, and she caring for her husband and father; However, she was mean. At that time her husband was satisfied that she had taken care of his father, and whatever he found to please her, he brought it to her and she gave it to her husband. Then at one point the woman thought, "Anything my husband makes is given to me, not to his father at all. Obviously he did not care about his father. 
We must find ways to cause friction between the old man and the guy, and then I will drive the old man out of the house. " So from then on, she began to bring water too cold or too hot for the old man, Many or no salt, cooked her hard or soft;She tried to do all sorts of things to provoke the old man. Then when the old man was angry, she rebuked: 
- Who can be an old man like this? 
She said just cause noisy. She spat on the ground and raised her husband and said: 
- Look, his father did that! Keep begging me not to do this, but I just get angry. Or his father, or I have to leave this house. 
At that time, the husband said: 
- She, she was young, she wanted to where you want, but my father was old, if she did not like the old man, she went away from home. 
That word made her frightened. She knelt down on the old man's feet begging him to apologize and promised he would not do that now, and began to look after the old man again. 
The worthy layman first became too anxious for her treatment, leaving her to go to the Master to listen to the teachings, but when she returned, he returned. The Master asked why he had not heard him preach seven or eight days ago. He recounted everything happening. 
The master said: - This time, he refused to listen to his wife, and did not drive his father out of the house, but in a past life, he followed his wife, took his father out in a graveyard and dug him Old man a hole At the time when you were about to kill my father, I was seven years old and asked me to tell my parents and prevent me from killing my father. At that time he listened to Me, and by taking care of his father while the old man was alive he was born to Heaven. At that time I preached and told him in advance not to leave his father at birth in another life; Because of this reason, he refuses to listen to the woman today, and his father is not killed. 
Having said that, at his request, he told a story of the past. 

In ancient times, when kings ruled Brahamadatta in Balaam complaints, in a certain village in Kasi, one family had an only son named Vasitthaka. He raised his parents, and after his mother died, he served father as described in the beginning. But there is another place here: When the woman says, "Look! His father did that, he kept begging his father not to do this, he just got angry, "she said again: 
- Husband, his father is fierce, cruel, because always cause trouble. argument. An old man was so sick, sick and tormented, dying to arrive, so I can not stay in the same house with the old man. Before the old man died too old, so he brought the old man to the graveyard, dug the hole throw him in and took the frog beating his head off; When he is dead, then dump the soil, and leave it there. 
Final, 
As he listened to the nagging ears, he said: - Hey, murder, is important, how can we do that? 
His wife replied: 
- I will show him a way. 
- So say it. 
Come on, husband, tomorrow, come to his father's place to sleep, say so loud to the old man so that everyone can hear, that a debt of his father in a village that he had come to see, but he did not To pay him If the old man dies, he will never repay. So let's say the father and son will drive together in the morning, and it's time for him to set the cow in the car and bring the old man to the graveyard.When he got there, bury him in the hole and shout aloud as if he was robbed in the middle of the road and got hurt, then washed his head off. 
He was willing to follow the instructions and set up a cart on the road. At that time, he had a son who was seven years old, but very wise and intelligent. The boy listened to what she said, and thought to herself, "My mother is an evil, trying to persuade my father to kill his grandfather. I want to prevent my father from murder. " 
He rushed to lie next to his grandfather. At the moment his wife advised, Vasitthaka was already setting up a cart. He said: 
- Father, wake up, we are going to collect debt. 
Then he put his father in the car. The boy sat in the car first. Vasitthaka could not stop him, so he brought him to the graveyard with them. Then, taking his father and son out to sit in a private place with the car, he stepped down and took the hog and basket to a place, hid them from sight, and began digging a large square hole. 
He went down with his father and as if not knowing what was happening, he recited the first verse to open his mouth : 1. No vegetables to boil, no onion, no 
mint, no tree to cook, 
if not. Need, why father earth? 
Alone, in the green forest cemetery? 
Then his father responded by reciting the second verse: 
2. Grandfather old, too thin, 
Due to many illnesses, suffering full, 
Father buried his grandfather in the tomb, 
I do not want him to live this way. 
Hearing this, the boy responded halfway through the verse: 
I pray for it, the sin caused, 
Because this work is cruel instead! 
With these words, the boy grabbed the hoe from his father and began digging another pit not far away. 
His father immediately approached to ask why the peach pit, 
He responded by taking the third verse: 3. I will worship my father in his old age. 
Like his father treated his family. 
According to that custom in his family, 
he buried his father in the pit. 
The father responded in the fourth shelf: 
4. The boy said cruelty, 
Father star scolded like this! 
Thought that the child is scolding father, 
With you love, it's too bad! 
When the father said that done, boy rhyme wise soak three shelves, one to respond and two to the noble song lyrics: 
5. I was not bad or cruel, 
Son to father, has set itself, 
but This father do evil, the strength to 
retract, if wrong? 
6. The wicked do, Vat-tha, The 
innocent, the mother with the father, 
When the person is dead, 
Hell must be in, not far. 
7. Water users, Vat-tha, 
Take care of mother always with her father, 
He comes when the body destroys, 
Will go to heaven is obvious. 
The father after the preacher, immediately read the eighth verse: 
8. Seeing you not ruthless, gratitude, 
For father is full of love, 
It is because of his obedient father, 
work is evil evil. 
When he heard this, he said: 
- Father, women, when doing evil work without being reprimanded, then again recidivism. So you have to mold your mother so that she will never do such a thing again. 
Then he recited the ninth verse: 
9. Wife's father is wicked extra wages, 
she gave birth to children, mother, 
let's kick her out the door, 
Afraid of another job father sad. 
Upon hearing his wise son, Vasittha was happy: 
"Let me go! 
He sat in the ox cart with his father and son. 
At that time, the table criminals are also very happy because they think that they have thrown the bad man out of the house. She filled the cow dung on the floor and cooked a batch of rice porridge. But as she sat looking out the way they would return, she saw them coming: "Behold, he is coming, and there is an old badger again." She thought, full of anger: "Huh! You're useless". She shouted: 
- Why, bring back the debt he brought to you? 
Vasittha did not say a word, and unbuckled the carriage. Then he said: 
- What do you say? 
He hit her for a fight, then shot her head out the door, Forbid her not to ever dirty his door anymore. Then he bathed his father and son, he also bathed himself, and all three sat rice porridge. The wicked woman came to another house for a few days. 
Then he said to his father: 
- Father, about this mother did not understand where. Now try to tease her. Father announced that there was a niece in the village who wanted to take care of his father, grandfather and son, so he was going to take her home, and he took fresh flowers and ointment to get in the car, and went around the area all day. Come home late at night 
He did so. The women in his neighborhood came to her and said, 
"Did you hear that your husband was going to get another wife somewhere?" 
She exclaimed: 
- Oh that I was dead, there is no place for me! 
But she wanted to ask her son, 
So she hurried to find her son, fell to his feet, cried out: - Except me, she has no where to rely anymore! From now on, Mother tries to take care of her father and her grandfather as if to look after the beautiful stupa. Let me in the house again go baby! 
"Yes, Mother," he said. "If you do not do anything, I'll let you in, let's cheer up. 
And when his father returned, he recited the tenth verse: 
10. His wife, evil, evil, 
baby birth, is here, 
As the elephant was trained masterfully, 
Cho back, this sinful man. 
He said this to his father, then went to call his mother. She made her husband and father-in-law happy, and since then the virtues were full of virtue and caring for both the father and the husband. Both husband and wife resolutely follow the advice, To give alms and good deeds, and to be born with them. 

After the discourse ends, the Master declares the Truth. At the conclusion of the Truths, the filial son was residing in the Precinct (Project). 
Then he identified the forerunner: 
- At that time both father and son are also these bridesmaids, this wise boy is me.
Then he identified the forerunner: - At that time both father and son are also these bridesmaids, this wise boy is me.  Then he identified the forerunner: - At that time both father and son are also these bridesmaids, this wise boy is me. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.21/7/2017.
