465. Sàla Story, Co Tu Tu Cat Tuong (Formerly Bhadda-Sàla)
Who is he standing in the middle of the space ..,
this Master told during his residence in Ky Vien about the practice of good for his relatives.
At Sàd defend, in Anathapindika's house (Anathapdana) always full food for five hundred monks and at the house Visakha (Crown Prince-khu) or the same king of Kosala. But in the king's palace, no matter how full of satirical food, no one seems to be close with them. So the Sangha never eat at the King's Palace, but bring food to use at the High Priestess or Visakha or a friend.
One day, the king said:
- A gift has just been brought, bring it to the rate-rate.
He then told him to bring him to the cloister, but they said there was no increase in them. The king asked:
- Where are they going?
They said:
- They are sitting up eating at the house of friends.
So, after breakfast, the king came to see the teacher, and asked:
- Lord , what kind of food is the winner?
He
said : Great food, the food of his friends is a win, even the porridge sent to friends became sweet.
- Thus, the White Sun, Increase them find the friendship in whom?
- Great kings, with their kins or the Sakya clans.
Then the king thought that if he chose a young woman who was a saint, he would become the friend of the king, as well as the monk's kinsman.
So he stood up back to the palace and sent a message to Kapilavatthu (Karmapa) for this purpose: "Give me a girl of your country to be a wife, because I wish to be Connect with your family. "
Upon receiving this message, the entire Sakyan family gathered and discussed thoroughly:
"We live in an area under King Kosala, if we refuse to marry, we will be angry, Also, if I bring a child, my family customs will be broken, so what should I do?
Prince Mahatama then said:
- Please do not worry about this. I have a daughter named Andabhakhattiyà. His mother was a slave, named Nāgamundà, now about sixteen years old, unusually beautiful and good-looking, was of noble descent to the father's side. We will marry her as a noble orthodox girl.
The Shakha accepted the invitation, and invited the messengers, saying that the family was willing to give their daughters to the family, so the messengers could bring her home. But the messengers thought, "These Thiches are extremely arrogant about the lineage. Suppose they are married to a girl who is not part of their family and just say so? We will not accept her except the one who ate with them. " So the angels replied,
"Yes, we will accept her. But we will only take one woman to eat with them.
The Shakha family arranged a place for the emissaries, then wondered what to do. Mum says:
- Now do not worry about it anymore. We will find a way. At the moment we have a meal, bring Ahsabhakhattiaya, dressed up in splendor, then as soon as we ate a morsel, bring a letter and say, "Lord, the king sent the message. Lord, lord hear the message now ".
The assembly agreed and when he was eating, they dressed and makeup for the other girl. Mum says:
- Please bring my daughter and my daughter to eat with me.
"Please lord wait a moment," they said, "she's dressed up properly.
And soon they brought her in. She expected to have dinner with her father, so she placed her hand on the same plate of food with her father. Mahanama took a piece and put it in his mouth;
He reached out and took another note and put it in a letter, and said , "Lord, the king sent the message to the lord, and the lord was trying to hear it now.
Mummy said:
- Dear children, you go to eat offline.
Then his right hand was still on the plate, his left hand holding the letter just looking at it. While he was watching the message, the girl continued to eat. When she finished eating, he washed his hands and rinsed his mouth. The envoys convinced her that she was the princess's daughter, because they did not guess the mystery.
Therefore, mourning the daughter to go solemnly. The envoys immediately brought back to the satyr and told her to be the official daughter of Prince Mahatma. King very happy, Ordered the whole business beautifully decorated and placed her sit on a bunch of treasures and celebrating the hall of blessings. She was very fond of the king.
Soon she was pregnant, so the king ordered her to take care of her well, and after ten months she gave birth to a royal male, a royal emperor. And the day of naming the baby, the king sent letters to his
mother : - And Sabhakhattiyas gave birth to a son, she is a princess of the Sakya family, so what is the name of the baby?
At that time the courtier carrying the letter was a little listener, but he also returned to the prototype of the king. When she heard that, she said:
- As soon as Saabha had never been born a son, she was already a great man, and now she would be the queen.
The deaf man did not hear the proper "Vallabhà" sound, which he thought to be "Vidùdabha", so he went to see the king and told him to name him Vidùdabha. The king thought this would be the name of a certain clan family, so name your child Viddabha.
After that, he grew up being raised in the manner of a prince. When the prince was seven years old, often observed the prince there's been too with horses and many other toys out stars from the clan inside their mother, he told her:
- Dear mother, the children there are gifts from parties Their mother, but no one to send her any gift. So are you the orphan?
At that time she said:
- My children, my fathers are the kings of the Shakha family, but they are far away, so send nothing to my children.
Again, at the age of sixteen,
He asked: - Mother, I want to visit the family of the patriarch.
She said:
- Well, do not talk about it anymore, what will you do when you get there?
But although she quit, he insisted on asking her forever, his mother finally said:
- OK, you go.
So he asked the king for approval and set out with a group of his entourage. And Sabha sent a letter home before he came to this intention:
- I'm living happily here, please do not tell the prince the secret.
But the lineage of the Sakyamuni who came to Vidùdabha came, and the young princes went to the countryside. They said to each other:
- I can not welcome this guy solemnly.
When the prince arrived in Cilicia, the Shakha family gathered in the king's house. The prince approached the inn waiting.
Then they said to him: - This is my grandfather, this is the sovereign - they have indicated each of them.
He walks one by one to the other, but even though he bowed to the whole family for the rest of his life, no one offered to greet him, so he asked,
"Why is there no one in the family? How are the families honoring this child?
The Shogunate said:
- Children, the princess went to the country.
Then the whole family treated him solemnly.
After a few days stay, the prince returned home with the entourage. At that moment a
handgun cleansed the chair he had used in the lodge with milk and said: - This is the seat of her son. And Sabhakhattaya, the maid.
A servant who forgot the spear seeker, heard the insults of Prince Vidùdabha. He asked:
- What does that mean?
He was told that Saabha was born of a maid of the court of Maha-mama, the Sakyamuni. He told the story to soldiers. And so the rumbling sound, all the crowd shouting:
- And Sabha is the daughter of a slave, they say that!
The Prince hears this: "Okay" - he thought to himself: "Wear them on the couch to sit and wash it. When we ascend the throne, we will wash the seat with blood in their hearts. "
When he returned to the saree, his servants told him everything. The King was furious with the Sakyamuni clan for having taken the daughter of a serviceman as his queen; he had spent all the money he had given to her and her son, just enough for Junior class only.
A few days later, the Master came to the king, and sat down.
The king came to him and bowed and said: - Lord , I heard that his kinship brought the daughter of a servant back to me as queen. I've given up their allowance, and show them things for slaves.
The master replied:
- Great king, the line of Sakyamuni has been working unchurched! If they offer a daughter, they should have a princess from their blood line. But, great king, I say this, and Sabha is the daughter of the prince, and in the palace of a noble emperor, she received the empowerment; Vidùdabha is also the king of a noble king of slavery. The wise people of ancient times have said: Which maternal family is important, father lineage is the norm. With a poor wife, a wood picker, they put up the position of chief minister, And the princess born to her was crowned at Balaam, twelve miles wide and became the Kattha-Ahana king, the Woodcutter.
Therefore, he told the king about the predecessor Katthahàri (No. 7 - Her story collecting wood).
When the king heard this sermon, his heart was happy to say, "Father's family is the standard for measuring a human being." Then he gave what was right for her mother and son as before.
At that time the great general of the king, was a man called Bandhula. His wife Mallikà did not reproduce, so he sent her to Kusinara, telling her to return to her family. She said:
- I will go when I worship the teacher.
She went to Ky Vien to greet the Tathagata and wait for a party.
"Where are you going now?" He asked .
She replied:
- White Lord, My husband told me to take him home.
The Master asked:
- For what reason?
- Well, because you do not spawn, I have no son.
He replied:
- If only that, then there is no reason she must go. Come back.
She greeted the Master very well and returned home. Her husband asked her why she had come back, she replied:
- The Cross said to bring back my wife!
The general said,
"Then the Fat Man must have seen the good reason.
Soon she was pregnant. When she started the pregnant woman's appetite, she told him. He asked:
- What do you want?
She
said : - Ladies and gentlemen, I want to take a bath and drink water in the city of Vesali (Pi-amnesty-ly) Where the royal family usually draw water for the royal emanation.
The general promised to try to be mindful. Taking his bow as strong as the other thousand, he took his wife into the car and went to Vaisali and drive to Vaisali.
At that time near the gate was a member of the Licchavi tribe called Mahàli who had been educated with a master with General Bandhula of King Kosala. This blind man, he often advised the Licchavi about the things as well as the saints. When he heard the car
rattling on the door, he said, "This is Bandhula's car! Today, the Licchavi have a fear.
The lake has a strict watchdog, both inside and outside, with iron grates on top, no bird looking for a place to enter. But the general, As soon as he got off his car, he threw his sword out, causing the guards to flee and he rushed over the iron grille, into the pool for his wife to take a bath and drink, and after bathing himself, he took Mallikà Return by way arrived. The army went to talk to the Licchavi. At that time the Lichavi clans got angry, five hundred of them climbed up to five hundred of them, going to capture General Bandhula.
They reported to Mahali, he said: - Do not go, because that person will kill you all.
But they say:
- No, we want to go.
- So when they come to a place where the wheel sinks down the axis, they must return. If you do not return then return to the place where they hear the thunder. If you do not return then return to the place where they see a hole in front of the cars. Do not go far.
But they did not return according to his word, but went on. Mallika saw them and said:
- Husband , there are chariots appear.
So tell me, he said, when they all looked like a carriage.
When all of them stood in a row like a car, she
said, "Husband, I see them as if they were the head of a carriage.
- So take the reins.
The general told him and handed the reins in her hands. He stood up on the wagon and held out his bow. The other wheel sank to the ground to the axle. The Licchavi tribe arrived, saw it but did not return. The general went up another section and flicked the bow up and gave a roar of thunder. But the crowd has not come back yet but keep chasing. Bandhula stood in the car and shot his name, the arrow that broke the head of all five hundred carriages and through all five hundred princes where the straps were tied and buried to the ground.
They did not know they were injured so they continued chasing and shouting: - Stop! Hey, stop!
Bandhula stopped the car and said,
"You are dead! I do not fight with the dead!
They said:
- Why, we are here to die?
Bandhula said,
"Let's open the first one."
They open the belt, the moment the cord is open, the other fell to death. At that time the general told them:
- You are all the same, go home, arrange everything you need to arrange, ask the clan wife and children, then remove the armor.
They do it, then somewhere, They all breathed their last breath.
Later, General Bandhula took Millikà on the Savior. She gave birth to twelve consecutive twins, all of whom grew up heroically, accomplished in all things. Each of them had thousands of his entourage and when they followed their father to the king, their part was crowded.
One day, some of them lost the suit because they had been accused of seeing Bandhula go and shouted and told him that the judges had supported a slander. So Bandhula entered the court, tried the case again and gave each other the same. The crowd cheered loudly. The king asked what and when he heard this, he was very happy. He moved the other magistrates away, handing Bandhula the charge of justice, from which he proceeded with justice. Then the other judges became poor, since they no longer take bribes, They lashed out at Bandhula to the king's ears, condemning the general to aim for the throne; The king listened to them, no doubt inevitable. But the king thought: "If he died here then I will be blamed."
He ordered some of them to plunder the towns on the border, then invited Bandhula to say,
"The lobes are in fire, let the captives go to catch the bandits.
The King also took some brave and talented soldiers, and instructed them to kill both the general and the thirty-two sons, cutting them off.
When he hit the road, the mercenary bandits knew the news arrived, ran away. General settlers settled for the area and then settled the city on the way home. Later when he approached the capital, the other generals cut off his head and the princes.
On that day Mallikà invited two great disciples together with five hundred monks. Early in the morning, a letter had been sent to her informing her husband and her sons that they had lost their heads. When she heard that, she did not say a word to anyone, she stuffed the envelope into her shirt, and arranged for the meal to invite them to bhikkhu. When her servants had made offerings to the bhikkhus, they brought in a bowl of fresh butter, unintentionally breaking the cup in front of the monks. At that time the general of the French law (Sàriputta) said:
- The bowl is made to break, please do not be sad about it.
The lady took the letter from the folds and said,
"The disciples were informed that the husband and his son had been cut off. If the disciple is not sad about it, perhaps sad when the cup is broken?
The general of the Dharma now began to say:
- Not seen, not known is the human life below ... etc ... (Kinh, Business Arrows, shelves 574).
Then from his stand, he preached and left.
The wife summoned thirty-two bridesmaids and said:
- Your children, in spite of their innocence, have been rewarded with their former karmic effects. Do not be sad, do not create worse karma than the crime of the king.
Lady advised so. The king's secret detective heard this, telling the king that they were not resentful. Then the king regretted going to the lady's house begging Mallikà and her daughters-in-law to forgive and offer a wish. She replied:
- Please.
She finished the funeral, bathed, and then went to see the king. She said:
- God, Supreme Master gave a gift of grace. What is this card besides this: It is to ask the Supreme Court to allow the concubine with thirty two daughters-in-law to return to their parents' homes.
King approved. She brought her bridesmaids back to her old house and she went to her parents' home in Kusinara. Then he ordained the general to a Dìgha-Kāranyana, the son of an elder General Bandhula. But wherever he goes, he denounces the king and says:
- The king killed him.
Long after the killing of the innocent General Bandhula, the king was so repentant that his tormented heart was not peaceful, he was not interested in being King again. At that time, the Teacher was near a town of the Shakyamuni family named Ulumpa. The king went there to camp not far away, and some courtiers went to the infirmary to pay homage to the Master. The king presented the five emblems of the kingship to Kāranyana, and then went to Huong room alone. Everything that follows is described in the Dhammacetiya Sutta (Dhammacetiya Sutra, No. 89).
When the king enters the room of the Buddha, Kāràyana takes the five emblems of that king and exalts Vidùdabha as king, leaving only the old king with a horse and a maid, and goes to the sage.
After a happy conversation with the Master, the king returned and saw no soldiers at all, he asked the maidservant, and learned everything that had happened. Then he went to the throne of Rajagaha, decided to bring his nephew with him to capture Vidùdabha. When the king came to the city, it was dark, the gate was closed, so he lay in a hut, drowned because of the wind and dew, he died there.
When the night was lightened, the maid began to cry:
- Oh dear! Kosala king has no way to cure!
Someone heard the cries and reported it to the king (ie Ajatasattu). This king immediately celebrates his funeral.
After King Vidùdabha was seated on the throne, he recalled his old feud and decided to kill all the Sakyamuni. For this purpose, the king set out with the crowd of soldiers. Bright morning, the Master looked down to the mundane, see the massacre threatening his family, he thought silently: "I have to save my family."
In the morning, he went out to beg for food, and after finishing his meal he returned to rest with a lion-like figure in his room. In the afternoon, after flying through space to a place near Capernaum, sitting under a sparsely popped tree; Nearby, a giant banyan tree shines on the border of Vidùdabha's kingdom. When seeing Master,
King Vidùdabha approached him and said: - Well, why did the Buddha sit so sparsely in this hot sky?
He
said : - Dear King, leave me alone. The shadow of my family makes me cool.
The king thought, "Surely the Master has come here to protect his family."
So the king bowed to the Master and returned to the Sage. And the Master stood up to Ky Vien. The second time he remembered his hatred for the Shaka-clan, the second time he left, he saw the Master sitting in the same place, so he left.
The fourth time the king departs, and the Master, in scrutinizing the past karmic results of the Shakyamuni clan, realizes that it is impossible to avoid the consequences of the other karma in having dropped the poison. River, He did not go there for the fourth time. At that time, Vidùdabha killed the Shakyamuni, beginning with the babies who sucked, took the blood in their hearts and washed the seat, and left.
On the day the third retreatant returned, after taking the alms round, and having eaten, he was resting in the Room, rising from every place in the Hall. As they sat together, the Sangha began to speak of the virtues of the Master:
- The wise men, the Master just appeared and made the king go back, is to resolve his family from the fear of death. . Master is a good friend, or help the family.
The Master came in, asked what they were talking about while they sat there. Increase them with Him. Then he said:
- Monks. It is not only now that Tathagata is acting in the interests of kinsmen, but in the past Tathagata has done so.
With this, he tells a story of the past.
* At
one time, when King Brahmadatta reigned over the Three Pitfalls, and practiced the Ten Dasheras, he thought to himself: "Throughout this Hell-edward kingdom, kings live in the palace. Power has many supporting pillars. So a palace supported by many pillars is not miraculous, but if we build a palace with only a prop support, then? ... Then we will become the greatest king among the kings! " He summoned the architects, asking them to build him a magnificent palace on a pillar. They said:
- Please obey.
Then they dive into the forest. There, they looked at many straight trees, Tall, tall, deserves the only pillar of such a luxurious palace.
They say to each other, "There are enough trees of this kind, but the roads are rugged, and we never drive them, so we have to ask the king about it.
When they said so, he said:
- Use the hook or anchor that pull them back, the faster the faster.
But they said:
- No hook can do this at all.
Then the king said,
"Then find a tree in my royal palace.
The builders went into the garden, where they saw a noble, straight-cut royal tree, branches were sumptuous, still the villagers, towns, even royal families often visited. And offering. They told the king. He said:
- In my garden, You have found a great tree for me. Very good! So go straight ahead.
They said:
- Please obey.
They came to the garden, with their hands full of fragrant corolla and other aromas, then hung up a tree with five garlands of bunches, rolled a rope around the trunk, attached a bouquet of flowers, Light incense, lighted and vowed:
- From now to seven days, we will plant the tree under the command of the king. May the gods dwell on this tree go away, and that is not our fault.
The god of life on the tree heard that, thinking,
"These builders are cutting down trees and destroying our dwellings. Now our life lasts only as long as this residence, and our relatives are very crowded, will also be destroyed. Destruction of our body is not as important as the killing of our children.
So in the middle of the night, with magnificent, majestic outfits, the Goddess entered the king's splendid palace, shining brightly in the room and crying by the tower. Pillow of the king. He was terrified when he saw the deity, and he uttered a rhyme:
1. Who is he, standing in the middle of the space,
wearing the holy name of the holy god,
how the terror began,
his eyes so full of tears Is it
Listen to this, the Lord God of trees pickled two rhymes:
2. In the country, you king,
he knows the tree: Dai Cat Tuong,
Sixty thousand years still stand, the
whole people worship us always.
3. Although they were built in the city,
The royal palace, the imperial palace,
However, they do not disturbed,
nor do they harm the gods,
Because they worship me so,
Please, God, honor also!
Next, the king immersed two other rhymes:
4. Song a great tree,
I have never seen this ancient,
Beautiful circumference of the height again,
Strong, a sturdy tree.
5. I want to build a beautiful palace,
Just the most pillar,
I want to put you there, Your
life is not short.
Listen to this, the God-god drenched two rhymes:
6. Because he wishes to plant the tree
Please cut us small pieces,
And cut this body piece by piece,
Or do nothing, British Army.
7. Cut first the top of the head, then
the middle, the later,
If you cut me like that,
death does not create sorrow.
Then, the king soaked two rhyme shelf:
8. First of all limbs, next to the ear,
As the person suffocating calms,
Finally the head falls down,
This pain painful fall.
9. Cat Tuong ancient! Painting Princess Forest!
What pleasure do you feel?
Why, why would you want the
trunk to be cut in small parts?
The Great Wall responded with two words:
10. For what reason high,
Why do I want to split this body,
Split to pieces, King,
please listen to my words.
11. Around the prosperity of the body,
Growing up through a place of refuge,
If I fall down, crush them,
The pain will be overwhelmed.
"This god is great, he does not want to depend on himself for taking refuge because of his loss of his own residence. So you act for the sake of your kinship. "
And the last king:
12. The old wall, the forest god!
Thought of his great gratitude,
He wanted to help his body by inheritance,
So I let him escape business!
The god, after the preaching finished, went away. The king relied on his advice, almsgiving, and other good deeds until the king was in communion with the assemblies in the heavenly realms.
*
After this Dhamma, the Master said:
- Monks, so Tathagata is still acting for the sake of the body by their own.
Then he identified the Forerunner:
- At that time, Ananda was the other king, the disciples of the Buddha were the gods dwelling in the saplings of the Sàla tree, and I was the Goddess of the Wall, the Goddess.
-ooOoo-
this Master told during his residence in Ky Vien about the practice of good for his relatives.
At Sàd defend, in Anathapindika's house (Anathapdana) always full food for five hundred monks and at the house Visakha (Crown Prince-khu) or the same king of Kosala. But in the king's palace, no matter how full of satirical food, no one seems to be close with them.

At that time the courtier carrying the letter was a little listener, but he also returned to the prototype of the king. When she heard that, she said:
- As soon as Saabha had never been born a son, she was already a great man, and now she would be the queen.
The deaf man did not hear the proper "Vallabhà" sound, which he thought to be "Vidùdabha", so he went to see the king and told him to name him Vidùdabha. The king thought this would be the name of a certain clan family, so name your child Viddabha.

Again, at the age of sixteen,
He asked: - Mother, I want to visit the family of the patriarch.

So he asked the king for approval and set out with a group of his entourage. And Sabha sent a letter home before he came to this intention:

Then the whole family treated him solemnly.
After a few days stay, the prince returned home with the entourage. At that moment a
handgun cleansed the chair he had used in the lodge with milk and said: - This is the seat of her son. And Sabhakhattaya, the maid.
A servant who forgot the spear seeker, heard the insults of Prince Vidùdabha. He asked:
- What does that mean?
He was told that Saabha was born of a maid of the court of Maha-mama, the Sakyamuni. He told the story to soldiers. And so the rumbling sound, all the crowd shouting:
- And Sabha is the daughter of a slave, they say that!
The Prince hears this: "Okay" - he thought to himself: "Wear them on the couch to sit and wash it. When we ascend the throne, we will wash the seat with blood in their hearts. "
When he returned to the saree, his servants told him everything. The King was furious with the Sakyamuni clan for having taken the daughter of a serviceman as his queen; he had spent all the money he had given to her and her son, just enough for Junior class only.
A few days later, the Master came to the king, and sat down.
The king came to him and bowed and said: - Lord , I heard that his kinship brought the daughter of a servant back to me as queen. I've given up their allowance, and show them things for slaves.
The master replied:
- Great king, the line of Sakyamuni has been working unchurched! If they offer a daughter, they should have a princess from their blood line. But, great king, I say this, and Sabha is the daughter of the prince, and in the palace of a noble emperor, she received the empowerment; Vidùdabha is also the king of a noble king of slavery. The wise people of ancient times have said: Which maternal family is important, father lineage is the norm. With a poor wife, a wood picker, they put up the position of chief minister, And the princess born to her was crowned at Balaam, twelve miles wide and became the Kattha-Ahana king, the Woodcutter.
Therefore, he told the king about the predecessor Katthahàri (No. 7 - Her story collecting wood).
When the king heard this sermon, his heart was happy to say, "Father's family is the standard for measuring a human being." Then he gave what was right for her mother and son as before.
At that time the great general of the king, was a man called Bandhula. His wife Mallikà did not reproduce, so he sent her to Kusinara, telling her to return to her family. She said:
- I will go when I worship the teacher.
She went to Ky Vien to greet the Tathagata and wait for a party.
"Where are you going now?" He asked .
She replied:
- White Lord, My husband told me to take him home.
The Master asked:
- For what reason?
- Well, because you do not spawn, I have no son.
He replied:
- If only that, then there is no reason she must go. Come back.
She greeted the Master very well and returned home. Her husband asked her why she had come back, she replied:
- The Cross said to bring back my wife!
The general said,
"Then the Fat Man must have seen the good reason.
Soon she was pregnant. When she started the pregnant woman's appetite, she told him. He asked:
- What do you want?
She
said : - Ladies and gentlemen, I want to take a bath and drink water in the city of Vesali (Pi-amnesty-ly) Where the royal family usually draw water for the royal emanation.
The general promised to try to be mindful. Taking his bow as strong as the other thousand, he took his wife into the car and went to Vaisali and drive to Vaisali.
At that time near the gate was a member of the Licchavi tribe called Mahàli who had been educated with a master with General Bandhula of King Kosala. This blind man, he often advised the Licchavi about the things as well as the saints. When he heard the car
rattling on the door, he said, "This is Bandhula's car! Today, the Licchavi have a fear.
The lake has a strict watchdog, both inside and outside, with iron grates on top, no bird looking for a place to enter. But the general, As soon as he got off his car, he threw his sword out, causing the guards to flee and he rushed over the iron grille, into the pool for his wife to take a bath and drink, and after bathing himself, he took Mallikà Return by way arrived. The army went to talk to the Licchavi. At that time the Lichavi clans got angry, five hundred of them climbed up to five hundred of them, going to capture General Bandhula.
They reported to Mahali, he said: - Do not go, because that person will kill you all.
But they say:
- No, we want to go.
- So when they come to a place where the wheel sinks down the axis, they must return. If you do not return then return to the place where they hear the thunder. If you do not return then return to the place where they see a hole in front of the cars. Do not go far.
But they did not return according to his word, but went on. Mallika saw them and said:
- Husband , there are chariots appear.
So tell me, he said, when they all looked like a carriage.
When all of them stood in a row like a car, she
said, "Husband, I see them as if they were the head of a carriage.
- So take the reins.
The general told him and handed the reins in her hands. He stood up on the wagon and held out his bow. The other wheel sank to the ground to the axle. The Licchavi tribe arrived, saw it but did not return. The general went up another section and flicked the bow up and gave a roar of thunder. But the crowd has not come back yet but keep chasing. Bandhula stood in the car and shot his name, the arrow that broke the head of all five hundred carriages and through all five hundred princes where the straps were tied and buried to the ground.
They did not know they were injured so they continued chasing and shouting: - Stop! Hey, stop!
Bandhula stopped the car and said,
"You are dead! I do not fight with the dead!
They said:
- Why, we are here to die?
Bandhula said,
"Let's open the first one."
They open the belt, the moment the cord is open, the other fell to death. At that time the general told them:
- You are all the same, go home, arrange everything you need to arrange, ask the clan wife and children, then remove the armor.
They do it, then somewhere, They all breathed their last breath.
Later, General Bandhula took Millikà on the Savior. She gave birth to twelve consecutive twins, all of whom grew up heroically, accomplished in all things. Each of them had thousands of his entourage and when they followed their father to the king, their part was crowded.
One day, some of them lost the suit because they had been accused of seeing Bandhula go and shouted and told him that the judges had supported a slander. So Bandhula entered the court, tried the case again and gave each other the same. The crowd cheered loudly. The king asked what and when he heard this, he was very happy. He moved the other magistrates away, handing Bandhula the charge of justice, from which he proceeded with justice. Then the other judges became poor, since they no longer take bribes, They lashed out at Bandhula to the king's ears, condemning the general to aim for the throne; The king listened to them, no doubt inevitable. But the king thought: "If he died here then I will be blamed."
He ordered some of them to plunder the towns on the border, then invited Bandhula to say,
"The lobes are in fire, let the captives go to catch the bandits.
The King also took some brave and talented soldiers, and instructed them to kill both the general and the thirty-two sons, cutting them off.
When he hit the road, the mercenary bandits knew the news arrived, ran away. General settlers settled for the area and then settled the city on the way home. Later when he approached the capital, the other generals cut off his head and the princes.
On that day Mallikà invited two great disciples together with five hundred monks. Early in the morning, a letter had been sent to her informing her husband and her sons that they had lost their heads. When she heard that, she did not say a word to anyone, she stuffed the envelope into her shirt, and arranged for the meal to invite them to bhikkhu. When her servants had made offerings to the bhikkhus, they brought in a bowl of fresh butter, unintentionally breaking the cup in front of the monks. At that time the general of the French law (Sàriputta) said:
- The bowl is made to break, please do not be sad about it.
The lady took the letter from the folds and said,
"The disciples were informed that the husband and his son had been cut off. If the disciple is not sad about it, perhaps sad when the cup is broken?
The general of the Dharma now began to say:
- Not seen, not known is the human life below ... etc ... (Kinh, Business Arrows, shelves 574).
Then from his stand, he preached and left.
The wife summoned thirty-two bridesmaids and said:
- Your children, in spite of their innocence, have been rewarded with their former karmic effects. Do not be sad, do not create worse karma than the crime of the king.
Lady advised so. The king's secret detective heard this, telling the king that they were not resentful. Then the king regretted going to the lady's house begging Mallikà and her daughters-in-law to forgive and offer a wish. She replied:
- Please.
She finished the funeral, bathed, and then went to see the king. She said:
- God, Supreme Master gave a gift of grace. What is this card besides this: It is to ask the Supreme Court to allow the concubine with thirty two daughters-in-law to return to their parents' homes.
King approved. She brought her bridesmaids back to her old house and she went to her parents' home in Kusinara. Then he ordained the general to a Dìgha-Kāranyana, the son of an elder General Bandhula. But wherever he goes, he denounces the king and says:
- The king killed him.
Long after the killing of the innocent General Bandhula, the king was so repentant that his tormented heart was not peaceful, he was not interested in being King again. At that time, the Teacher was near a town of the Shakyamuni family named Ulumpa. The king went there to camp not far away, and some courtiers went to the infirmary to pay homage to the Master. The king presented the five emblems of the kingship to Kāranyana, and then went to Huong room alone. Everything that follows is described in the Dhammacetiya Sutta (Dhammacetiya Sutra, No. 89).
When the king enters the room of the Buddha, Kāràyana takes the five emblems of that king and exalts Vidùdabha as king, leaving only the old king with a horse and a maid, and goes to the sage.
After a happy conversation with the Master, the king returned and saw no soldiers at all, he asked the maidservant, and learned everything that had happened. Then he went to the throne of Rajagaha, decided to bring his nephew with him to capture Vidùdabha. When the king came to the city, it was dark, the gate was closed, so he lay in a hut, drowned because of the wind and dew, he died there.
When the night was lightened, the maid began to cry:
- Oh dear! Kosala king has no way to cure!
Someone heard the cries and reported it to the king (ie Ajatasattu). This king immediately celebrates his funeral.
After King Vidùdabha was seated on the throne, he recalled his old feud and decided to kill all the Sakyamuni. For this purpose, the king set out with the crowd of soldiers. Bright morning, the Master looked down to the mundane, see the massacre threatening his family, he thought silently: "I have to save my family."
In the morning, he went out to beg for food, and after finishing his meal he returned to rest with a lion-like figure in his room. In the afternoon, after flying through space to a place near Capernaum, sitting under a sparsely popped tree; Nearby, a giant banyan tree shines on the border of Vidùdabha's kingdom. When seeing Master,
King Vidùdabha approached him and said: - Well, why did the Buddha sit so sparsely in this hot sky?
He
said : - Dear King, leave me alone. The shadow of my family makes me cool.
The king thought, "Surely the Master has come here to protect his family."
So the king bowed to the Master and returned to the Sage. And the Master stood up to Ky Vien. The second time he remembered his hatred for the Shaka-clan, the second time he left, he saw the Master sitting in the same place, so he left.
The fourth time the king departs, and the Master, in scrutinizing the past karmic results of the Shakyamuni clan, realizes that it is impossible to avoid the consequences of the other karma in having dropped the poison. River, He did not go there for the fourth time. At that time, Vidùdabha killed the Shakyamuni, beginning with the babies who sucked, took the blood in their hearts and washed the seat, and left.
On the day the third retreatant returned, after taking the alms round, and having eaten, he was resting in the Room, rising from every place in the Hall. As they sat together, the Sangha began to speak of the virtues of the Master:
- The wise men, the Master just appeared and made the king go back, is to resolve his family from the fear of death. . Master is a good friend, or help the family.
The Master came in, asked what they were talking about while they sat there. Increase them with Him. Then he said:
- Monks. It is not only now that Tathagata is acting in the interests of kinsmen, but in the past Tathagata has done so.
With this, he tells a story of the past.
* At
one time, when King Brahmadatta reigned over the Three Pitfalls, and practiced the Ten Dasheras, he thought to himself: "Throughout this Hell-edward kingdom, kings live in the palace. Power has many supporting pillars. So a palace supported by many pillars is not miraculous, but if we build a palace with only a prop support, then? ... Then we will become the greatest king among the kings! " He summoned the architects, asking them to build him a magnificent palace on a pillar. They said:
- Please obey.
Then they dive into the forest. There, they looked at many straight trees, Tall, tall, deserves the only pillar of such a luxurious palace.
They say to each other, "There are enough trees of this kind, but the roads are rugged, and we never drive them, so we have to ask the king about it.
When they said so, he said:
- Use the hook or anchor that pull them back, the faster the faster.
But they said:
- No hook can do this at all.
Then the king said,
"Then find a tree in my royal palace.
The builders went into the garden, where they saw a noble, straight-cut royal tree, branches were sumptuous, still the villagers, towns, even royal families often visited. And offering. They told the king. He said:
- In my garden, You have found a great tree for me. Very good! So go straight ahead.
They said:
- Please obey.
They came to the garden, with their hands full of fragrant corolla and other aromas, then hung up a tree with five garlands of bunches, rolled a rope around the trunk, attached a bouquet of flowers, Light incense, lighted and vowed:
- From now to seven days, we will plant the tree under the command of the king. May the gods dwell on this tree go away, and that is not our fault.
The god of life on the tree heard that, thinking,
"These builders are cutting down trees and destroying our dwellings. Now our life lasts only as long as this residence, and our relatives are very crowded, will also be destroyed. Destruction of our body is not as important as the killing of our children.
So in the middle of the night, with magnificent, majestic outfits, the Goddess entered the king's splendid palace, shining brightly in the room and crying by the tower. Pillow of the king. He was terrified when he saw the deity, and he uttered a rhyme:
1. Who is he, standing in the middle of the space,
wearing the holy name of the holy god,
how the terror began,
his eyes so full of tears Is it
Listen to this, the Lord God of trees pickled two rhymes:
2. In the country, you king,
he knows the tree: Dai Cat Tuong,
Sixty thousand years still stand, the
whole people worship us always.
3. Although they were built in the city,
The royal palace, the imperial palace,
However, they do not disturbed,
nor do they harm the gods,
Because they worship me so,
Please, God, honor also!
Next, the king immersed two other rhymes:
4. Song a great tree,
I have never seen this ancient,
Beautiful circumference of the height again,
Strong, a sturdy tree.
5. I want to build a beautiful palace,
Just the most pillar,
I want to put you there, Your
life is not short.
Listen to this, the God-god drenched two rhymes:
6. Because he wishes to plant the tree
Please cut us small pieces,
And cut this body piece by piece,
Or do nothing, British Army.
7. Cut first the top of the head, then
the middle, the later,
If you cut me like that,
death does not create sorrow.
Then, the king soaked two rhyme shelf:
8. First of all limbs, next to the ear,
As the person suffocating calms,
Finally the head falls down,
This pain painful fall.
9. Cat Tuong ancient! Painting Princess Forest!
What pleasure do you feel?
Why, why would you want the
trunk to be cut in small parts?
The Great Wall responded with two words:
10. For what reason high,
Why do I want to split this body,
Split to pieces, King,
please listen to my words.
11. Around the prosperity of the body,
Growing up through a place of refuge,
If I fall down, crush them,
The pain will be overwhelmed.
"This god is great, he does not want to depend on himself for taking refuge because of his loss of his own residence. So you act for the sake of your kinship. "
And the last king:
12. The old wall, the forest god!
Thought of his great gratitude,
He wanted to help his body by inheritance,
So I let him escape business!
The god, after the preaching finished, went away. The king relied on his advice, almsgiving, and other good deeds until the king was in communion with the assemblies in the heavenly realms.
*
After this Dhamma, the Master said:
- Monks, so Tathagata is still acting for the sake of the body by their own.
Then he identified the Forerunner:
- At that time, Ananda was the other king, the disciples of the Buddha were the gods dwelling in the saplings of the Sàla tree, and I was the Goddess of the Wall, the Goddess.
-ooOoo-
466. The Story of a Trader on the Sea (Samudda -
The sower, the plower ...
This is how the Master said while staying in Kyiv for Devadatta (Devadatta) when he was taken to hell, bringing with him five hundred families who were dying. .
Then, when the two disciples Sariputta (Sariputta) and Moggallana (Section-inter-associate) to the rate of Bhikkhu followed him back to him, Da-max-can not Endured suffering, should have spit blood and are about to die, he said to himself: "For nine months I have thought badly of the Tathagata, but in the mind of the Tathagata has no malice for I, in the eighties of the elders, do no harm to me, because of my actions that I become a helpless lost, I was abandoned by the Teacher, the elders, -the head of the clan, and all the royal families of the Shakyamuni, I want to go to see the Master and reconcile with him. So motioned to the disciples, he told them to bring him on a stretcher, then traveled all day and night to the city of Kosala.
Elder Ananda told the Master:
- They said that Grandma-Gotama is going to make peace with the Blessed One.
- Ananda, Grandma-maxi did not meet me.
When he arrived at Saree, Sun spoke to the Master, and the Buddha replied as before. When he arrived at Ky Vien port and headed for Ky Vien lake, the crime reached its zenith; A fever in his body made him want to bathe and drink water, so he ordered them to take him out of the stretcher to drink water. As he had just stepped down and stood on the ground, before he could quench his thirst, the earth opened wide, a fire coming from the dead end of the Avaci (Aphi or Sparks). Get him.
While aware of the evil his career has culminated, and recalls the merits of the Tathagata, he soaked rhyme shelves: Nanchang This brings Ultimate Human,
Tier omniscient, this percentage Minister goodness,
Tier The mind of the human mind, than the Master,
Mind I fly to Enlightenment.
But right in his search for a place to reside, he was beaten into the prison and then had five hundred families of his disciples, the families who followed him defamed the Dasabala, Should also be reincarnated in A-pi Pun. So he went to the abyss of Hell, bringing with him all five hundred families.
So one day, the Sangha talked in the Chief Justice:
- Brother Meditator, The grateful-minded-for-profit advocate has arrogantly raised anger with the Chief Justice and is not aware of the horror of the future, so along with five hundred families fall into hell. The Master came in and asked what they were talking about. The assembly immediately responded to him.
He said: - The Beloved, Grandma-salaried for the sake of prestige and prestige should not see the horrors in the future, and the old as now, because not see the terrible. Terror in the future that he and his disciples desire to enjoy the present, so it must be completely destroyed.
After saying that, he told the monk something about the past.
* At
one time, when King Brahmadatta reigned in Ba la la, near Ba Ba town there was a large town of carpenters, consisting of a thousand families, Carpenters from the town often claim that they have their beds, chairs, and homes, and often after receiving money from the public, have been shown to have no capacity to do anything. People often scold any carpenter who happens to meet them and interferes with them. So these debtors are so disturbed that they can not live there anymore.
They said to each other: - Let's go to another country and find somewhere to hide.
So they went into the woods, planted trees, made big boats in the river and pushed boats out of the town about three-quarters of a mile, pulling the boat ashore. Then in the middle of the night, they returned to town to find their family on a boat and down the ocean. They had a good sailing until they reached an island in the middle of the ocean.
At that time on the island has grown many kinds of forest trees with fruits such as rice, sugarcane, banana, mango, plum, jackfruit, coconut and all other types. Before them there was a shipwrecked person and take over this island. Living there, eating rice and enjoying sugarcane and other plants, so he became a dormant force, he lived naked, long bearded hair. Carpenters think, "If the island has demons, we must die; So we want to explore. "
Then seven brave young men, armed with five weapons, left the boat to explore this island.
At that moment the survivor on the island had just finished breakfast, drinking sugar cane juice and while lying on his back resting in a beautiful, cool place under the shade of trees on the shimmering sand like a silver treat, he thought: "Those who live in Hell-edged India can not have this happiness, those who plow, and this island is better than the Hell-edward kingdom." Immediately rejoiced in that ecstasy.
*
The Master recited the rhyme to explain how the inhabitants of this island sang for joy:
1. People sow seeds, plowers,
live with sweat at the end of you,
they do not enjoy the region. We live,
far from India this place!
*
The scouts of the island caught his voice, saying:
- Looks like we hear people, let's get acquainted with that person.
As they sang, they went to see each other, but his appearance scared them. They exclaimed:
- Is that demon?
Then they turned the arrow into the bow. When the other person saw them, he was afraid to shoot and wounded, shouting:
- I am not a demon, I am human, my dear, please forgive me.
- Lie? They said - People are naked and have nothing to protect like people?
They ask again and again, just get the answer, that he is human. Finally they approached him and everyone talked happily to each other, the newcomers asked him how to get there. He told them the truth about this. He said:
- Because of your good karma that you have come here, this island is your reward. This is the perfect island. Here you do not need to work with hands to live, sugar cane and other plants here are endless, all wild. You live here no longer worry.
They asked:
- What else hinders my life here?
- Not afraid of anything but one thing: this island is a devil, these demons will get angry when you see the feces released from your body; So when you want to defecate, dig holes in the sand buried. That is the only danger, besides nothing else, just remember to always be careful of this.
They then settled on the island. But in the midst of the thousands of families, there are two laborers, each with five hundred families, one of whom is a delicacy, the other is wise and does not like to dominate everything. team.
By the time they continue living there, all are fortified. Then they thought, "For a long time we have not had any fun, we want to make some strong liquor with sugar cane juice." So they make spirits, And drunk, singing, dancing, joking. Then they unintentionally walked around uncontrolled pitchfires everywhere, so they made the island smelly horrible. The gods are angry because these people make the entertainment fun to unclean.
The conspirators carefully:
- We will raise sea water on the island to clean this island? Now is the half months, our meeting must postponed. By the fifteenth day, on the first full moon day, on the moonrise, we will raise the sea and destroy them
. At this time, a righteous God in the crowd thought, "I do not want these people to die before my eyes." Therefore, due to compassion, at the moment people are sitting in front of the door chat happily, after dinner. This makes the whole island shine,
Dressed in splendor, stood in the air toward the north and said to them, "Carpenters, gods, are in the wrath of your gods. Do not live here anymore, for half a month from now the gods will raise the sea and kill them all. So have to escape this place.
Then he recited the second verse:
2. In two weeks see the full moon,
From the sea to the tsunami
flooded this island:
Migrate to hurry to avoid harming the people.
Along with this advice he returned to his place of residence. When he's gone, a god is a god, thinking, "Maybe the people will follow that advice and escape, and we want to stop them going, to make them destroy. So the god of this makeup is glorious, radiate a great light,
Covered the island, and approached the crowd, standing in the air toward South, as he asked, "Is there a god who has just come here?"
They
said : - Yes.
- What did he say to you?
They
said : - Sea gods, things like this.
Then the Prophet said:
- This god does not want you to live here, so said in a rage. So do not go anywhere, stay here.
Along with these words, the Spirit immerses two syllables:
3. According to many signs stated that the
people heard the tsunami
Will not spill over the big island,
Fun do not be afraid, do not grieve.
4. You meet here wide, the
food is eaten back enough,
I see nothing to risk, enjoy the
next life, Pleasure like this.
After saying this through two verses to lighten the anxiety of the people, this spirit departs. When he was gone, the carpenter staggered up, and not paying attention to the words of the righteous God, he exclaimed:
"Sir, listen to me.
He told all the carpenters by way of the fifth verse:
5. From the south, the Spirit shouted,
We hear: "Peace of
truth, " This word is real,
Fear, or not. Panic,
the other North knows,
Do not be afraid, do not worry!
When he heard it, five hundred carpenters enjoyed the benefit of listening to the foolish advice. But at that time the carpenter was wise not to listen to him, and still told the carpenter, soaking four rhymes:
6. When speaking in reverse,
Doubt , a fear, a safe,
Listen to my words, e for a moment
All the people here die the whole delegation.
7. We built a great merchant ship, a
large boat, take out all
the stuff, If this guy says the truth, the
god speaks nonsense;
8. When needed, the boat will benefit me,
I will not leave the island right, but
if the North is right, the
South speaks only crazy,
I at the same time go to the boat,
where peace, will hurry Through,
9. Do not see the superiority, paralysis, the story just heard,
Who let the ears on all sides,
carefully, then the central part,
Ben's peace, drag anchor.
Then he said:
- Now, let's listen to both gods. Let's build the boat, then if the word of the first god is true, we will climb the boat and go; And if the second word of the gods is correct, we will take the boat away and stay here.
When he said this, the carpenter foolishly said:
- You go and see the crocodile in the cup of tea! You're too slow! The First God speaks because of our anger, and the second speaks for our love. If we leave this perfect island, where will we go? But if you need to go, go and build a boat, we do not need boats, we are here!
The wise carpenter, his followers, built a boat, put all his belongings on the boat, and all the men in the boat. Then on the day of the full moon, at the moment of the rising of the moon, the ocean offers a wave covering the island to the knees, When the wise man saw the rising wave, he hurriedly dropped his boat.
The five foolish followers consisted of five hundred families, who sat down and said, "A wave has risen on the island. But it will not be higher.
Then sea waves rise to the waist, then high with the head, high up to the tops of coconut trees, then seven coconut trees, then covered the island. The man of such tricks, knows how to do, no matter what the material, should have gone safely; And the foolish fool who greedily can not see the horrors of the future should have been destroyed along with five hundred families.
*
And another three shelves full of character rhyme instructive, to clarify matters, the shelves come from Wisdom Evening wins:
10. Because doing now, like the ocean,
should people understand something deep position,
Did not make mistakes after the child.
11. The fool, foolish to swallow greed, Do
not understand the future danger spill,
Submerged before the current needs,
As the mid-point between the positive.
Do the work before you need it,
Do not let the same suffering,
Who is doing the right thing, Do
not suffer grief.
*
When the Master has ended this Dharma, he said:
- Behold, this is not the first time, but all day long, the lady-Gotama has been trapped in sexual lust. In without seeing the future, he met destruction with his accomplices.
Speaking of which, he identified the forerunner:
- At that time, Grandma-Maxima was a carpenter foolishness, Kokaclika is the god stand in the South,
This is how the Master said while staying in Kyiv for Devadatta (Devadatta) when he was taken to hell, bringing with him five hundred families who were dying. .
Then, when the two disciples Sariputta (Sariputta) and Moggallana (Section-inter-associate) to the rate of Bhikkhu followed him back to him, Da-max-can not Endured suffering, should have spit blood and are about to die, he said to himself: "For nine months I have thought badly of the Tathagata, but in the mind of the Tathagata has no malice for I, in the eighties of the elders, do no harm to me, because of my actions that I become a helpless lost, I was abandoned by the Teacher, the elders, -the head of the clan, and all the royal families of the Shakyamuni, I want to go to see the Master and reconcile with him. So motioned to the disciples, he told them to bring him on a stretcher, then traveled all day and night to the city of Kosala.
Elder Ananda told the Master:
- They said that Grandma-Gotama is going to make peace with the Blessed One.
- Ananda, Grandma-maxi did not meet me.
When he arrived at Saree, Sun spoke to the Master, and the Buddha replied as before. When he arrived at Ky Vien port and headed for Ky Vien lake, the crime reached its zenith; A fever in his body made him want to bathe and drink water, so he ordered them to take him out of the stretcher to drink water. As he had just stepped down and stood on the ground, before he could quench his thirst, the earth opened wide, a fire coming from the dead end of the Avaci (Aphi or Sparks). Get him.
While aware of the evil his career has culminated, and recalls the merits of the Tathagata, he soaked rhyme shelves: Nanchang This brings Ultimate Human,
Tier omniscient, this percentage Minister goodness,
Tier The mind of the human mind, than the Master,
Mind I fly to Enlightenment.
But right in his search for a place to reside, he was beaten into the prison and then had five hundred families of his disciples, the families who followed him defamed the Dasabala, Should also be reincarnated in A-pi Pun. So he went to the abyss of Hell, bringing with him all five hundred families.
So one day, the Sangha talked in the Chief Justice:
- Brother Meditator, The grateful-minded-for-profit advocate has arrogantly raised anger with the Chief Justice and is not aware of the horror of the future, so along with five hundred families fall into hell. The Master came in and asked what they were talking about. The assembly immediately responded to him.
He said: - The Beloved, Grandma-salaried for the sake of prestige and prestige should not see the horrors in the future, and the old as now, because not see the terrible. Terror in the future that he and his disciples desire to enjoy the present, so it must be completely destroyed.
After saying that, he told the monk something about the past.
* At
one time, when King Brahmadatta reigned in Ba la la, near Ba Ba town there was a large town of carpenters, consisting of a thousand families, Carpenters from the town often claim that they have their beds, chairs, and homes, and often after receiving money from the public, have been shown to have no capacity to do anything. People often scold any carpenter who happens to meet them and interferes with them. So these debtors are so disturbed that they can not live there anymore.
They said to each other: - Let's go to another country and find somewhere to hide.
So they went into the woods, planted trees, made big boats in the river and pushed boats out of the town about three-quarters of a mile, pulling the boat ashore. Then in the middle of the night, they returned to town to find their family on a boat and down the ocean. They had a good sailing until they reached an island in the middle of the ocean.
At that time on the island has grown many kinds of forest trees with fruits such as rice, sugarcane, banana, mango, plum, jackfruit, coconut and all other types. Before them there was a shipwrecked person and take over this island. Living there, eating rice and enjoying sugarcane and other plants, so he became a dormant force, he lived naked, long bearded hair. Carpenters think, "If the island has demons, we must die; So we want to explore. "
Then seven brave young men, armed with five weapons, left the boat to explore this island.
At that moment the survivor on the island had just finished breakfast, drinking sugar cane juice and while lying on his back resting in a beautiful, cool place under the shade of trees on the shimmering sand like a silver treat, he thought: "Those who live in Hell-edged India can not have this happiness, those who plow, and this island is better than the Hell-edward kingdom." Immediately rejoiced in that ecstasy.
*
The Master recited the rhyme to explain how the inhabitants of this island sang for joy:
1. People sow seeds, plowers,
live with sweat at the end of you,
they do not enjoy the region. We live,
far from India this place!
*
The scouts of the island caught his voice, saying:
- Looks like we hear people, let's get acquainted with that person.
As they sang, they went to see each other, but his appearance scared them. They exclaimed:
- Is that demon?
Then they turned the arrow into the bow. When the other person saw them, he was afraid to shoot and wounded, shouting:
- I am not a demon, I am human, my dear, please forgive me.
- Lie? They said - People are naked and have nothing to protect like people?
They ask again and again, just get the answer, that he is human. Finally they approached him and everyone talked happily to each other, the newcomers asked him how to get there. He told them the truth about this. He said:
- Because of your good karma that you have come here, this island is your reward. This is the perfect island. Here you do not need to work with hands to live, sugar cane and other plants here are endless, all wild. You live here no longer worry.
They asked:
- What else hinders my life here?
- Not afraid of anything but one thing: this island is a devil, these demons will get angry when you see the feces released from your body; So when you want to defecate, dig holes in the sand buried. That is the only danger, besides nothing else, just remember to always be careful of this.
They then settled on the island. But in the midst of the thousands of families, there are two laborers, each with five hundred families, one of whom is a delicacy, the other is wise and does not like to dominate everything. team.
By the time they continue living there, all are fortified. Then they thought, "For a long time we have not had any fun, we want to make some strong liquor with sugar cane juice." So they make spirits, And drunk, singing, dancing, joking. Then they unintentionally walked around uncontrolled pitchfires everywhere, so they made the island smelly horrible. The gods are angry because these people make the entertainment fun to unclean.
The conspirators carefully:
- We will raise sea water on the island to clean this island? Now is the half months, our meeting must postponed. By the fifteenth day, on the first full moon day, on the moonrise, we will raise the sea and destroy them
. At this time, a righteous God in the crowd thought, "I do not want these people to die before my eyes." Therefore, due to compassion, at the moment people are sitting in front of the door chat happily, after dinner. This makes the whole island shine,
Dressed in splendor, stood in the air toward the north and said to them, "Carpenters, gods, are in the wrath of your gods. Do not live here anymore, for half a month from now the gods will raise the sea and kill them all. So have to escape this place.
Then he recited the second verse:
2. In two weeks see the full moon,
From the sea to the tsunami
flooded this island:
Migrate to hurry to avoid harming the people.
Along with this advice he returned to his place of residence. When he's gone, a god is a god, thinking, "Maybe the people will follow that advice and escape, and we want to stop them going, to make them destroy. So the god of this makeup is glorious, radiate a great light,
Covered the island, and approached the crowd, standing in the air toward South, as he asked, "Is there a god who has just come here?"
They
said : - Yes.
- What did he say to you?
They
said : - Sea gods, things like this.
Then the Prophet said:
- This god does not want you to live here, so said in a rage. So do not go anywhere, stay here.
Along with these words, the Spirit immerses two syllables:
3. According to many signs stated that the
people heard the tsunami
Will not spill over the big island,
Fun do not be afraid, do not grieve.
4. You meet here wide, the
food is eaten back enough,
I see nothing to risk, enjoy the
next life, Pleasure like this.
After saying this through two verses to lighten the anxiety of the people, this spirit departs. When he was gone, the carpenter staggered up, and not paying attention to the words of the righteous God, he exclaimed:
"Sir, listen to me.
He told all the carpenters by way of the fifth verse:
5. From the south, the Spirit shouted,
We hear: "Peace of
truth, " This word is real,
Fear, or not. Panic,
the other North knows,
Do not be afraid, do not worry!
When he heard it, five hundred carpenters enjoyed the benefit of listening to the foolish advice. But at that time the carpenter was wise not to listen to him, and still told the carpenter, soaking four rhymes:
6. When speaking in reverse,
Doubt , a fear, a safe,
Listen to my words, e for a moment
All the people here die the whole delegation.
7. We built a great merchant ship, a
large boat, take out all
the stuff, If this guy says the truth, the
god speaks nonsense;
8. When needed, the boat will benefit me,
I will not leave the island right, but
if the North is right, the
South speaks only crazy,
I at the same time go to the boat,
where peace, will hurry Through,
9. Do not see the superiority, paralysis, the story just heard,
Who let the ears on all sides,
carefully, then the central part,
Ben's peace, drag anchor.
Then he said:
- Now, let's listen to both gods. Let's build the boat, then if the word of the first god is true, we will climb the boat and go; And if the second word of the gods is correct, we will take the boat away and stay here.
When he said this, the carpenter foolishly said:
- You go and see the crocodile in the cup of tea! You're too slow! The First God speaks because of our anger, and the second speaks for our love. If we leave this perfect island, where will we go? But if you need to go, go and build a boat, we do not need boats, we are here!
The wise carpenter, his followers, built a boat, put all his belongings on the boat, and all the men in the boat. Then on the day of the full moon, at the moment of the rising of the moon, the ocean offers a wave covering the island to the knees, When the wise man saw the rising wave, he hurriedly dropped his boat.
The five foolish followers consisted of five hundred families, who sat down and said, "A wave has risen on the island. But it will not be higher.
Then sea waves rise to the waist, then high with the head, high up to the tops of coconut trees, then seven coconut trees, then covered the island. The man of such tricks, knows how to do, no matter what the material, should have gone safely; And the foolish fool who greedily can not see the horrors of the future should have been destroyed along with five hundred families.
*
And another three shelves full of character rhyme instructive, to clarify matters, the shelves come from Wisdom Evening wins:
10. Because doing now, like the ocean,
should people understand something deep position,
Did not make mistakes after the child.
11. The fool, foolish to swallow greed, Do
not understand the future danger spill,
Submerged before the current needs,
As the mid-point between the positive.
Do the work before you need it,
Do not let the same suffering,
Who is doing the right thing, Do
not suffer grief.
*
When the Master has ended this Dharma, he said:
- Behold, this is not the first time, but all day long, the lady-Gotama has been trapped in sexual lust. In without seeing the future, he met destruction with his accomplices.
Speaking of which, he identified the forerunner:
- At that time, Grandma-Maxima was a carpenter foolishness, Kokaclika is the god stand in the South,
467. The Journey of Happiness (Karmapa predecessor)
Those who wish to work in the heart ...
This Master said while living in Ky Vien about a Brahmin residing in Sariput, was cutting trees on the banks of the river Aciravatì to cultivate cultivation. The Master sees clearly his karmic affinity (when he is practicing) when he arrives at the Safary for alms. He steps out of the way to talk to him kindly. He asked:
- Brahmin, what are you doing?
He replied:
- Dear recluse Gotama, I'm felling in a space for planting.
He said: - Well
, this Brahmin, he went on the job.
Every time the Master came to talk to him when the trunks were taken away, the other man cleaned his land, and he came again at the time of plowing, or digging holes in the square. Small to get water.
On the day of sowing, the Brahmin asked: - Gotama, today is my Feast Day (Plowing ceremony). When the corn is ripe, I will give much to the Sangha they are holding the Buddha.
The Master accepted his offering and left. Another day he came to see the Brahmin watching the corn. He asked:
- Brahmin, what are you doing?
- Evangelist Gotama, I am watching the corn.
- Brahmin, well done!
The Master said and walked straight.
Brahmin thought then: "Superman Gotama often go through this road instead! He certainly needs food. I will offer food to you. "
On the day this idea came to his mind, he came home to see the Master again.From there, the brahmins arise a wonderful faith.
Gradually, the corn is ripe, the Brahmin decides tomorrow to harvest. But when he slept on the bed, in the land of the Aciravatì River, the rain poured down like a flood: the floods brought all the seasons to the sea, so there was no one left.When the flood was gone, the Brahmin saw the crops were destroyed, so he could no longer stand, his arms held on to his chest, he was crying and returning home. In the morning the Master saw the Brahman was overwhelmed with pain, thinking, "I will be the abode of the Brahmin." So
the next day, when he was begging around Siddhartha, he came back from the place where he took food, told the bhikkhu to return to the detention center and he himself and a sub-attendant went with him to his home. When the brahmana heard him come, joy, thought silently: "Surely my friend came to talk intimately."He invited Him to sit;
The Master entered the sitting room and asked, "Brahmin, why are you frustrated?What happened that discouraged him?
Gotama, since I came here on the banks of the Aciravati River, knows what I do. I went here, and promised to offer him when the flowers were ripe, now the floods have washed away all the benefits to the sea, nothing left. Corn is burned down by hundreds of chariots, so I'm in grief now.
- Hey, of loss can come back from the mourning it?
Gotama Saturn, it can not come back.
- If so why sorrow? The riches of life or grain, when they are present, and when it is lost. There is no visible object that does not work, do not grieve for it anymore.
His consolation is complete, He repeats the Sutra (Book IV, Shelf 766) as appropriate to this situation. When he finished the apparition, the Brahmin suffering was abated in the Preliminaries. After dissolving his sadness, the Master stood up from his seat and returned to the monastery. The whole town heard about how the Master was going to look for the Brahmin who was tormented by pain and consoled him and took him to the Test Results.
The Sangha speaks of this in the Dhammapada: - The sage, the Shroud, who became friends with a Brahmin, became more and more intimate, giving him the opportunity to teach the Dharma, when he met The pain tears the heart. He consoled with the miserable affliction that settled him into the Consequences.
The Master came in, and asked
, "What are you talking about when you sit here?"
Increase them with Him.
He said: - This is not the first time, this monks, which I heal their grief, but old days, a long time ago, I did the same.
And with these words. He told a story of the past.
*
Once, King Brahmadatta reigns in Ba la complain of having two sons. He conferred the crown to the crown prince, while the second was the general. Later, when King Brahmadatta died, the courtiers had to crown the Prince with the initiation rite. But he said:
- I do not care about the country, let the king to water.
Great people begged the crown prince, but he did not want that, so the king was ordained king. The Prince did not mind the throne or the royal title, when the court asked him to stay, living on this rich land, he replied:
- No, I can not do anything in this city.
Then he left, leaving Ba la complaining, he came to the border area and lived with a rich merchant family, working with his hands. These people, after some time know that he is the Prince, should not let him work anymore, they serve him as if a Prince should be served.
Then, after some time, the courtiers came to the village to paint the plot. At that time the merchant told the king.
- For the merits of our ministry, we would like to send you a letter from the king to ask for our tax deduction.
He agreed to do it and wrote, "I am living with a family of traders, I ask the king for me to exempt them." The
king agreed, And do the same.
From there the villagers and people in the area came and said to him: - Please ask for our tax-exempt spirit, then we will pay you taxes. He made a petition for them, and asked for tax exemption. Then the people paid him taxes. At that time, his income and reputation were great, and with this gain, his greed began to rise, so he gradually demanded the town, demanding that the old viceroy and the king give him permission. all. At that time his greed grew, he was dissatisfied with the vicariate, and decided to regain his throne. To that end, he set out with a group of people, based in the outskirts of the city and sent letters to his king:
- Give us nationality, or fight!
The king thought: "The day before this fool had refused the throne, Satirist status and all; Now say: Want to recapture.
If I kill him in battle, then that's a shame to me, so what do you need to be king again? "So he sent the mats only: -You do not want to make military training, please keep the throne king.
Wang accepted that and the king as vice king.
From then on he ruled the kingdom. But he was so greedy, so a kingdom did not satisfy him that he wanted two kingdoms, and then three, nevertheless, saw the endless greed.
At that time, Sakka looked out. He thought, "Who is the caretaker of the parents?Who is the benefactor and do good? Who is the dominant person? "He thought:" This fool is not happy to reign in Ba la complain. Yes, I will teach you a lesson.
So he pretended to be a young Brahmin, standing at the door and reported that there was a bright young man standing at the door. He was allowed to attend, praising the king's chanting, and asked,
"Why are you here?"
He replied:
- Great Prince , little things have to talk to the king, but minor want to be kept confidential.
Thanks to the god of Thich Thien, at that time, everyone withdrew. Then the young man said:
- Dai Dai Vuong, the newborn know three rich cities, crowded population, military, war hero are powerful, the primary by virtue of their own will own these three cities, and will Offering great king. Song Dai Vuong should not be delayed but must go immediately.
The lustful king should agree immediately.
But because the god of Thich prevented, So the king did not ask, "Who is this son? What will the daddy get back? "Thich Thien said so done, back to heaven Thirty three.
Then the king sent his servants to him, and said to them,
"A young man has come here, promising to take and give me three kingdoms! You go find him. Ordered to beat the drums throughout the city, summoned soldiers, not delayed, because I was about to capture the other three kingdoms.
God replied:
- Great Grandpa, the Great King will entertain the young man, or ask him where?
-No, no, I do not treat him, nor ask him where, so go find him!
The goddess sought out, but could not find him around this city. Hearing this, the king was upset:
- The right to rule the three cities was gone.
The king repeatedly thinking:
"I was deprived of the ultimate glory, surely the young man left, angry at me because he did not give him money to pay, nor give up residence." Then in the king's body as hot as burning, While the body is hot, the intestines become dysentery, The food brought back to run out, the doctors could not cure, so the king was exhausted. The condition of the king is rumored throughout the city.
At that time, Bodhisattvas from Takkasilà returned to their parents in Ba la complaining after having mastered all the academic disciplines. He was informed about the king, went to the archery, with the intention of healing the king should send in a slip of paper that a young man is willing to cure the king. The king said:
- The famous medical practitioners all over the world can not cure my illness, but what can a young man do? I pay him a fee and tell him to leave.
Youth he replied:
- I do not need medical costs, but I will heal the king, he just paid for my medicine dishes only.
When the king heard this, he approved of him. The young man respects the king's feast:
- Do not be afraid! He told - god will heal the great king, but the great king told the god heard the cause of his illness.
The angry king replied:
- What do you ask for? Just make the remedy.
He said:
- Great King, this is the way of the doctor, first to know why the disease, then make the appropriate medicine.
"The king said,"
All right, little boy.
And the king began to tell the source of the disease, Since the young man promised that he would take and offer the king the right to rule the three cities.
- So, baby, the disease born of greed, good uncle is cured.
He replied:
- Why, Dai Dai Vuong, have captured the city thanks to sorrow?
- No, baby.
- If so, why Dai King sad? Whatever senseless or perceptive, must be destroyed, leaving everything, even the body. Although the great king has ruled all four cities.Dai also can not eat four dishes at the same time, sleeping four rooms, wearing four dresses. Great kings should not be slaves to craving, because when craving grows, one can not escape four sufferings.
After recommending such teaching finished, the Great Sermon Sermon through the following verses:
1.
Whoever desires to work in the heart, When the other wish is complete,
Surely the mind is full of bliss,
For now the wish is reached.
2. Whoever desires to work in the heart,
When the other wish is full,
The desire to fill the mind forever,
As if the thirst is met with concentration.
3. In the buffalo, there is a horn, the
bigger the horn, the bigger the horn,
Like the mind of the no-
minder, no matter what, no distinction,
while the older the older,
the higher the aspiration .
4. Take all the corn in the world,
buffalo, slave, horse, human,
not yet full, know this,
and keep the road forever.
5. A king conquered all mortal,
The ceiling stretches out to the ocean,
On the side of this is not satisfied, the
object is still far off.
6. Sexual desire in the heart,
Tri does not arise,
people avoid sexual desire to find the right medicine,
who is affectionate, intellectual as cursed.
7. Optimism is full of wisdom,
lust is not burned,
there is never a wise man
Back to slavery of greed.
8. Sex education, breaking the greed, no
desire to seize a hundred parts,
The other is like the sea,
Not burned by sex,
As shoemakers always clogs, slippers,
Skin wrapped at the table foot.
9. Every education is abandoned,
a happiness comes when,
Those who want to enjoy peace,
must abandon all craving immediately.
But while the Bodhisattva was immersed in these verses, his mind focused on the king's white casket, thus creating the bliss of meditation attained through the white light (a Kasina meditation). As for the king who was well rested, he happily stood up from his seat, and said to him,
"While the other physicians can not heal, a wise man makes me strong through meditation. wisdom.
Then the king recited the tenth verse:
10. Eight pieces he dug eight thousand worth,
Thousand gold each piece, Dai La-subject,
Please he received the gold, because the
words he said so tender.
Hearing this, the teacher took the eleventh eleventh poem:
11. Although there are thousands, millions, millions,
Million times the golden, I also did not dream,
As the last shelves, soaked, our
mind has died.
The happier the king, the sooner rhyme to the last shade to praise the master:
12. This fruitless good man,
Am wall of all knowledge,
the lust is the mother
of suffering. New exposure.
Bodhisatta again said:
- Great Prince, you must know and go into the right path.
In order to finish the king's teachings, he flew through space to the Son of Snow, and lived his entire life as a spiritual hermit. He specializes in practicing the Four Noble Truths and was born in the Brahmanic realm.

When this Dharma is over, the Master says,
"O bhikkhus, as in the past, I've done the Brahmin healed.

The goddess sought out, but could not find him around this city. Hearing this, the king was upset:
- The right to rule the three cities was gone.
The king repeatedly thinking:
"I was deprived of the ultimate glory, surely the young man left, angry at me because he did not give him money to pay, nor give up residence." Then in the king's body as hot as burning, While the body is hot, the intestines become dysentery, The food brought back to run out, the doctors could not cure, so the king was exhausted. The condition of the king is rumored throughout the city.
At that time, Bodhisattvas from Takkasilà returned to their parents in Ba la complaining after having mastered all the academic disciplines. He was informed about the king, went to the archery, with the intention of healing the king should send in a slip of paper that a young man is willing to cure the king. The king said:
- The famous medical practitioners all over the world can not cure my illness, but what can a young man do? I pay him a fee and tell him to leave.
Youth he replied:
- I do not need medical costs, but I will heal the king, he just paid for my medicine dishes only.
When the king heard this, he approved of him. The young man respects the king's feast:
- Do not be afraid! He told - god will heal the great king, but the great king told the god heard the cause of his illness.
The angry king replied:
- What do you ask for? Just make the remedy.
He said:
- Great King, this is the way of the doctor, first to know why the disease, then make the appropriate medicine.
"The king said,"
All right, little boy.
And the king began to tell the source of the disease, Since the young man promised that he would take and offer the king the right to rule the three cities.
- So, baby, the disease born of greed, good uncle is cured.
He replied:
- Why, Dai Dai Vuong, have captured the city thanks to sorrow?
- No, baby.
- If so, why Dai King sad? Whatever senseless or perceptive, must be destroyed, leaving everything, even the body. Although the great king has ruled all four cities.Dai also can not eat four dishes at the same time, sleeping four rooms, wearing four dresses. Great kings should not be slaves to craving, because when craving grows, one can not escape four sufferings.
After recommending such teaching finished, the Great Sermon Sermon through the following verses:
1.
Whoever desires to work in the heart, When the other wish is complete,
Surely the mind is full of bliss,
For now the wish is reached.
2. Whoever desires to work in the heart,
When the other wish is full,
The desire to fill the mind forever,
As if the thirst is met with concentration.
3. In the buffalo, there is a horn, the
bigger the horn, the bigger the horn,
Like the mind of the no-
minder, no matter what, no distinction,
while the older the older,
the higher the aspiration .
4. Take all the corn in the world,
buffalo, slave, horse, human,
not yet full, know this,
and keep the road forever.
5. A king conquered all mortal,
The ceiling stretches out to the ocean,
On the side of this is not satisfied, the
object is still far off.
6. Sexual desire in the heart,
Tri does not arise,
people avoid sexual desire to find the right medicine,
who is affectionate, intellectual as cursed.
7. Optimism is full of wisdom,
lust is not burned,
there is never a wise man
Back to slavery of greed.
8. Sex education, breaking the greed, no
desire to seize a hundred parts,
The other is like the sea,
Not burned by sex,
As shoemakers always clogs, slippers,
Skin wrapped at the table foot.
9. Every education is abandoned,
a happiness comes when,
Those who want to enjoy peace,
must abandon all craving immediately.
But while the Bodhisattva was immersed in these verses, his mind focused on the king's white casket, thus creating the bliss of meditation attained through the white light (a Kasina meditation). As for the king who was well rested, he happily stood up from his seat, and said to him,
"While the other physicians can not heal, a wise man makes me strong through meditation. wisdom.
Then the king recited the tenth verse:
10. Eight pieces he dug eight thousand worth,
Thousand gold each piece, Dai La-subject,
Please he received the gold, because the
words he said so tender.
Hearing this, the teacher took the eleventh eleventh poem:
11. Although there are thousands, millions, millions,
Million times the golden, I also did not dream,
As the last shelves, soaked, our
mind has died.
The happier the king, the sooner rhyme to the last shade to praise the master:
12. This fruitless good man,
Am wall of all knowledge,
the lust is the mother
of suffering. New exposure.
Bodhisatta again said:
- Great Prince, you must know and go into the right path.
In order to finish the king's teachings, he flew through space to the Son of Snow, and lived his entire life as a spiritual hermit. He specializes in practicing the Four Noble Truths and was born in the Brahmanic realm.

When this Dharma is over, the Master says,
"O bhikkhus, as in the past, I've done the Brahmin healed.
Saying, he identified the forerunner:
- At that time, Brahmin is the king and I was the gentle man.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.21/7/2017.
