THE GOTAMA BUDDHISM SURVEY
The first Bodhisattva Gotama Buddha
The Buddha dwells on a gemstone with a large number of bhikkhus, along the jungle with fragrant flowers near Lake Anotatta . At that time, the Buddha taught the karmic deeds he created in his first incarnation:
"Monks, you should listen to the good deeds that I have created in past lives. As Lai saw a bhikkhu who lived happily in the jungle, should generate pure faith, then offered "an old cloth" to the bhikkhu. At that time, the Tathagata birth of great compassion has the will to become the Buddha Siddhartha Buddha to save, save the sentient beings out of the sea of samsara reborn in three worlds of four species. That is the first life of the Bodhisattva of the first Tathagata is willing to become the Buddha Buddha. It is thanks to good karmic merit making " old cloth" in the first life, leading to the present life became the Buddha Gotama Gotama "
The last Bodhisattva of Gotama Buddha
Gotama 's previous Bodhisattva passed through countless rebirths in three periods:
- The German Bodhisattva has the wish to become the Buddha of the Buddha, throughout 7 a-rainy season.
- The period of the Bodhisattva's vow, in order to let the sentient beings know the will of the Bodhisattva, during the 9th Anniversary.
- The Bodhisattva Age was 24 Buddha's life determining the remaining time, the Bodhisattva will certainly become Buddha Gotama Buddha Gotama . Beginning from the first Dīpaṅkara Buddha to the last 24th Kassapa Buddha , through the fourcontinents and 100 thousand earthly lives. Gotama Buddha created the full 30 parami dharmas, to his last Bodhisattva Bodhisattva Siddhattha birth of King Suddhodana and main palace Empress Mahāmayādevī . At the age of 16, Bodhisattva Prince Siddhattha crowned the King and married Princess Yasodhara.The 29 years old; At the age of 35, the Bodhisattva attained the title of Buddha Gotama Gotama Buddha ; At the age of 80, Buddha passed away.
Fruit of the good and evil of Gotama Buddha
The Bodhisattva, the predecessor of Gotama Buddha , created the complete 30 parami-dharmas of good kamma for the attainment of the Buddha-dharma. But through many lifetimes in the past, sometimes the Bodhisattva also create akusala kamma (evil kamma); These evil karmas have the opportunity to give birth in the last incarnation, before the Buddha passes away.
The old evil kamma that He created in past past lives for the suffering in the present last life is as follows:
Old Gotama's Gotama
Calling old karma is to distinguish it from the new karma .
For the Buddha and the holy Arahant, only old karma, no longer create new karma. In addition to the Buddha and the Arahantas, all beings, including the three Noble Truths, are the Most Holy One, the Most Holy One, the All-Knowing One, and still create new karma. Each good kamma, every akusala kamma, if given the chance, can give the result in the present, second and third lives until the death of Nirvana.
In the last, Bodhisattva Siddhattha became the Buddha Siddhartha Gotama Gotama .As a Bodhisattva, the past life of Gotama Buddha , through many lifetimes in the past, sometimes He also created the evil kamma , or his old evil karma ; These old karmic retribution also gave birth to the four realms of evil world, suffering long suffering, until graduation. Nowadays, although he became the Buddha of the Buddha, the old karmas still have little power; If they have the opportunity, they will give their fruit, except the Buddha.
The Buddha preached in the Apadāna section of the Buddhāpadāna on the old karmic retribution for the fruit summarized as follows:
Bodhisattva practice ascetic throughout six years (dukkarakiriyā)
In the past, the Bodhisattva, the previous Buddha Gotama, was born in the noble Brahmin family, named Jotipāla , to the time when Kassapa Buddha appeared in the world.
Jotipāla Bodhisattva is prone to descent, so there is no faith in the Three Jewels;(another cause related to Kassapa Buddha's unwholesome result ) . Thus, when hearing of the title of Kassapa Buddha , the Bodhisattva Jotipāla said:
"The bald head, it is easy to attain the Buddha Siddhartha Buddha! It is difficult to attain the Buddha-dharma. "
The Bodhisattva Jotipāla has a good friend named Ghaṭikāra , Ghaṭikāra, who is a close- minded male with pure faith in Kassapa Buddha , often encourages JotipālaBodhisattva to come to Kassapa Buddha , but once the Bodhisattva Slapping Jotipala also refused to go. One day, Ghaikirra invited the Bodhisattva Jotipāla to bathe in a water landing near the residence of Kassapa Buddha and the monks. After bathing Ghaṭikāra invited the Bodhisattva Jotipāla go to the Buddha Kassapa , Bodhisattva Jotipāla do not go; Ghaṭikāra thought that he could not walk, Ghaṭikāra took hold of the head of Jotipāla Bodhisattva's head. Jotipāla Bodhisattva no other way, must follow to the Buddha Kassapa . While listening to the Dharma, the Bodhisattva Jotipālagenerated pure faith in the Buddha Kassapa , asking him to become a monk in his teachings. Later, Jotipāla Bhikkhu by Kassapa Buddha, determined the time remaining in this Bhaddakappa earthly life , will become the Buddha SiddharthaBuddha Gotama . Kassapa Buddha is the 24th Buddha to have the last Bodhisattva Jotipāla Gotama Buddha .
The Bodhisattva continues to make full 30 pāramitā dharmas until the last birth of the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva Siddhattha , 29 years old. Because now harsh insult to Buddha Kassapa was, therefore, the Bodhisattva must be operating measures austerity 6 years the net up , in the mountains near the village Uruvela , because now harsh was the fruit of asceticism for 6 year.
Later, abandoning the ascetic, Bodhisattva following the practice of the Middle Way leads to realization of the Four Noble Truths, attain the four Noble Truths - the Four Noble Truths and the Nirvana, to eliminate all craving, all troubles brains, all evil, especially kill all the money disabled, become the Buddha's Gotama Buddha Gotama .
The Buddha taught about his old karma:
In the past, Tathagata was Brahman Jotipāla offended Kassapa Buddha :
" Bald, that is not easy to attain the Buddha Buddha. It is difficult to attain Buddhahood.
As a consequence of the evil karma, Tathagata ascetic practices in the mountains near the village of Uruvela 6 years school full. Because of the old evil karma, the wrong ascetic practices. Tathagata can not attain Buddhahood by practicing asceticism.
After abandoning the ascetic practice, Tathagata following the Middle Way leads to the realization of the Four Noble Truths, attaining the Four Noble Paths - the Four Noble Truths and Nirvana, becoming the Buddha of Right Mindfulness.
Now, Tathagata no longer create evil business and good karma anymore, has eliminated all negativity, all craving, all evil; no longer hot temper, no longer sorrow, suffering. As Lai will be Nirvana.
The Buddha suffers from the cajamadhikatu ( abbhakkhāna )
In the past, the Bodhisattva, the previous Buddha of Gotama, blamed Him on the Venerable Nanda , the Buddha's Dharma.
Bodhisattva after death, because of the evil karmic retribution for the rebirth of beings in the hell realm, bear the consequences for thousands of years, until the last evil career, to escape the hell realm . When being reborn as a human being, the Bodhisattva is often blamed for the bad things, because of the power of the evil karma created in past lives.
The present life is the last, the Bodhisattva Siddhattha became the Buddha Siddhartha appearing in the world. His good name spread everywhere, the row of disciples every day a lot more, including the king, the mandarin, the rich, the people, gods, disobedient ... listen to the Dharma, Then practice the Dharma of realizing the Four Noble Truths, attaining the Noble Truth and the Nirvana, becoming the Noble One from the Sangha, the Most Holy One, the Noble One to the Arahant . Those who have not attained the Noble Truths, who have pure faith in the Three Jewels, please take refuge in the Three Jewels, become male or female close in the teachings of Gotama Buddha . In fact, the great majority of these people, formerly of the pagan traditions, Brahmins, etc. Now, when the Buddha appeared in the world, they became disciples of the Buddha. That is what makes the foreign friars feel so much hurt, the old believers can not hold back, the new believers do not add; Therefore, the offerings, the benefits are increasingly decreasing, the life of the monks more and more deprived of suffering, more difficult than before.
The group of foreign monks meeting with each other, plotting the malice to lower the prestige of the Buddha.
At that time, in the city of Sāvatthi there is a beautiful female beauty as Goddess ,named Ciñcāmāṇavikā , she was a pious student of the religious pagan.
The pagan monks thought aloud:
" We use pregnant female Ciñcāmāṇavikā pregnant with Samon Gotama, to cause misunderstanding, to discredit him ."
One day, as usual she Ciñcāmāṇavikā to the pagan monastery, finished the ceremony, she sat on one side. She Cincamanavika surprised somehow that day the monks sat quietly told her not a sentence. She thought: "What a mistake I have!"
She told the Presbyterian:
- Dear Him, I have honored you three times already, but do not know what my fault that you do not tell me a word ?
The old man said sternly to her:
- Are not! Dear children, I am a good student, I have no faults! At present, the life of the teacher is very difficult, very little child! Therefore, you are sad, suffering, no one told anyone sad sad.
She Cincamanavika surprised anxiously asked:
- Ladies and gentlemen, before your life is full, so rich, why now fall into such extreme circumstances?
- Ciñcāmāṇavikā, do not you know anything? It was Samuel Gotama who had tormented me, and Samson Gotama had robbed the wealthy disciples, so that he lost all the benefits he had made ... Therefore, you must live in such a miserable condition .
She Cincamanavika feel very heartbreaking, heartwarming said:
- But you do not know anything. Do not know what you can do, to help you ?
The monks pretended to be silent for a moment and then said,
- Only fear that I'm afraid, but not help you .
She Cincamanavika quick to respond:
- No, I can do anything, as long as you can live peacefully, so I'm satisfied .
The serious monk said:
- This is very important, requiring children to be smart. If you really want to help my teacher, there is only one way, please use charming charms of the child, pretending to be pregnant with Samon Gotama. If you do that, it will reduce the prestige of Samantha Gotama. Thus, most of the followers of Samson Gotama will return to us .
She Cincamanavika cheerfully say:
- Yes, this is very good! Please trust in me, I will try to fulfill my duty, to repay your gratitude to me .
From that day, on every afternoon of the people of Sāvatthi, after listening to the Buddha's sermon at Jetavana Temple completed, pay homage to the Buddha, they often meet her Ciñcāmāṇavikā beautiful dress is very charming a bouquet of flowers in his hand, going on the way to Jetavana Temple , someone curious stopped asking:
- In the evening, where are you going to dress ?
She Cincamanavika answered intentionally caused to people doubt:
- Where is my work, you know how useful it is !
Having finished, she walked towards the Jetavana temple , but spent the night at a nearby monastery.
Then, the next morning, when there were some close-up men and women close to the Jetavana to give offerings to the Buddha and the Sangha, they saw her Ciñcāmāṇa-vikā from the Jetavana Temple back to Sāvatthi ,
People asked her:
- Where did you get off last night ?
She Ciñcāmāṇavikā cumbersome answer:
- I have a place where I have a place to stay, you know what benefits it is !
And from that, every morning and every day, from month to month, Ciñcāmāṇavikā does the same. Until one day, the number of men approaching, the other women asked:
- Where did you get off last night ?
She Cincamanavika it was time to say, to start to cause suspicion.
- What personal story do you want to know? Sooner or later you will know ! If you want to know the truth now I would like to declare that : "Last night I stay at Gandhakuti with SAMON Gotama, to serve Him, that's a great honor of my life."
When she finished speaking, she gave her consent to the city.
When listening to her Ciñcāmāṇavikā said, there are close to the male, the female close to the human mind is low, so the center of semiannual semen , until 3-4 months, she Ciñcāmāṇavikā take cloth belly, cover the outside, as if the person is pregnant.There are some non-intellectual people, not knowledgeable about the Buddha's teachings, doubt that Ciñcāmāṇavikā is pregnant or not!
The time has come for 9 months, the dramatic demeanor of the Blessed One in the end.The uninvited clergymen call her Ciñcāmāṇavikā , who uses a piece of wood that is shaped like a pregnant child who is about to give birth, has four heads, tellsCiñcāmāṇavikā that she is tied behind her back, Looks like a real pregnant, finished group of religious monks using the sword in the palm of his hand, swollen feet, seen as the woman is about to give birth.
The Buddha won her Ciñcāmāṇavikā
One evening, when the Buddha was sitting in the courtroom, at the lecture hall ofJetavana Temple , four disciples were sitting quietly listening to the Dharma as usual, then Ciñcāmāṇavikā from the outside into the dilapidated , then came before the Buddha , pointing his hand at his words:
"Hey Samantha Gotama! He is very good sermon, how good, how many people he knew, and how did he not blessed? I am pregnant stomach is because he, he said delicious sweet talk with me, said to help me this, the other ... Today, soon to be born, he lectured the dharma of others, What's up to me? Although he was not able to care for me, he told his servants as King Pasenadi, he endorsed Anāthapindika, Visakha ... care for me also. But this, he only satisfied personal desire, he did not know my suffering, bear stomach like this here!
Listen to her Cincāmānavikā scolded, the Buddha stopped the sermon, still sitting on the natural course, calm on the court and said calmly:
- Hey sister! You say truthful or false, only Tathagatas and she knows only?
She Cincamanavika responded:
- Yes, this is Mr. Samon! Only you and I know it!
At that moment, at the Three Senses of the Three Heavenly, the court of King Sakka warms up, with the celestial observation of cause, the king clearly see her Cincamantian is scolding the Buddha among the four disciples, by the things are not real. This is a plot of the evil group of religious monks, use her Cincāmānavikā female engineer , intentionally lower the prestige of the Buddha among four disciples. King Sakka decided to clarify this. The four gods and goddesses appeared at the Jetavanatemple immediately. The four celestial men, at the order of the heavenly king, became four mice, crawling at the same time to bite the four wooden strings, the shape of the fetus tied behind her back. Cincāmānavikā , and at the same time, the king made a breeze for the other wood to fall on the ground and touched the feet of Cincāmānavikā , causing her legs to bruise.
The incident occurred in a short time, all obvious facts are exposed in front of the four disciples. She Cincamanavika reviled profusely, someone beaten, spat, and then chased her out of the precincts. She Cincamanavika frustration, excuse just stumbled walked out of sight of people, the mainland split into two, play up a spark burned her and then pulled her down determining deep underground. After Cincāmānavikā dies, the evil karma results in the reincarnation of the great Avīci, suffering from the evil karmas.
Her story Cincamanavika slander Buddha has spread everywhere, from origin to another origin. And everyone knows that it is the malignant conspiracy of the pagan monks. Some of the former members of the religious group, who have heard of this, have lost their faith, so no longer offer spiritual gifts for the religious group, the life of the group. Priests of the hardships of suffering, now even worse.
On the contrary, the people everywhere arises good heart purely offering the Buddha and monks wealth items; Those who do not have faith now have faith in the Three Jewels; The number of people who have faith in the Three Jewels, the more faith grows.
As the Buddha taught about his old karma:
In the past life, Tathagata has once violated Nanda Venerable; After the death of the disciple of the Buddha, after his death, the retribution of that evil fruit results in the reincarnation of the hell realm, suffering for millennia, until the end of the evil one. Get out of the hell realm.
Whenever I was reincarnated as a human being, the Tathagata was often blamed for the bad things that were not real, because of the power of the evil that I created in the past.
Due to the capacity of the old evil left a residual, this last life was her Cincāmānavikā slander Tathagata things are not true, between the four disciples.
The Buddha was slandered by the nuns of Sundarī
In the past, the Bodhisattva, formerly born of the Gotama Buddha , was born into a lower class family, Munāḷi , the Bodhisattva who was often close to the wicked, resulting in bad habits. One day, seeing the Surabhi Solitary Buddha , Bodhisattva Munāii immediately let go of the slander:
" This bald head is breaking the world! Poor lawless! "
After the death of the Bodhisattva, the resultant rebirth results in sentient beings in the hell realm, suffering for millennia, until he is released from the place. prison. When being reborn as a human, often slandered the bad, not real.
The present life is the last, the Bodhisattva Siddhattha became the Buddha SiddhatthaBuddha appeared on the world, his good reputation spread everywhere. The disciples row more and more; On the contrary, the disciples of the non-Buddhist groups gradually reduced, so the life of the monks and nuns fell into a more difficult situation than before.Therefore, they planned to discredit the Buddha.
At that time, the non-Buddhist nun named Sundarī was very beautiful, visited the pagan monks, bowed and finished, see the group of non-religious monks sitting quietly do not tell her a word.
Then she asked,
- Dear Sir, what is your fault that you do not tell me?
A pagan monk laments that:
- We were all suffering from Samuel Gotama, which I do not care or know, that is my fault !
- Can you slander Samon Gotama?
- Dear Sir, I can do it.
From that day, every afternoon, the people of Sāvatthi, after hearing the Buddha sermon at Jetavana Temple finished, they pay homage to the Buddha and ask permission to return home, they often see Sundarī monk holding a bunch flower in hand, going on the way to Jetavana temple , someone curious stopped asking:
- In the evening, where are you going?
She nun Sundari replied to cause a suspicion:
- Where is my work, you know how useful it is!
Having finished, she walked towards the Jetavana temple , but spent the night at a nearby pagan monastery.
Then, the next morning, when the number of subordinate men and women approaching the Jetavana to donate to the Buddha and the monks, they saw the Sundarī nun fromJetavana Temple back to Sāvatthi . People ask her:
- Where did you get off last night?
The nun of Sundarī wanted to create a suspicion and said,
- What personal story do you want to know? If you want to know, I will tell the truth: "My life is very honored, night and night to be served Samon Gotama at his GandhakuС" g cup. "
The pagans awaiting this news, now have the opportunity, they immediately spread the news that:
"All of you, you have heard the evil deeds of Samson Gotama !"
It is Sundarī who claims to slander the bad deeds of the Buddha to her, spreading confusion, causing distrust to the people.
For the disciples of the Buddha, the disciples of the Buddha certainly never believed in the slander of the pagan monks and nuns of Sundarī ; For some doubtful people arise suspicion. It is the conspiracy of the pagan monks to discredit the Buddha, hoping to restore his prestige.
The Buddha taught about his old karma:
In past lives, Tathagata is a delusion of Munāḷi who insulted the Surabhi Solitary Buddha, after his death, due to his evil karmic retribution in the hell realm of suffering for many long time. years, until the evil industry.
Because of the old karmic power left a little residual, in this present life Tathagata was slandered by nuns Sundarī.
The Buddha and Bhikkhu Sangha were slandered to kill Sundarī woman to hide sin (abbhakkhāna)
In the past, the Bodhisattva, the previous Buddha of Gotama Buddha , was born into a family of Brahmins, the Bodhisattva of Brahmanism. He taught the group of 500 Brahmins in the forest at the foot of Mount Himavantu . One day, the jhana attained the meditation, the pine has a lot of power, to the monastery of the Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva met this Taoist, immediately arise jealousy, should slander the Taoist that:
" This Taoist deceives! This Taoist enjoys enjoying the five senses ... "
The Bodhisattva also told his disciples that the Taoist was a deceiver, enjoying the pleasures of the five senses.
The group of disciples believe in the words of the teacher, went into the alms village, also defamed the Taoist so.
After the death of the Bodhisattva, the retribution of the karmic retribution for beings in the hell realm, suffering for many thousands of years, until the end of the evil karma, is released from the place. prison.
In the present life, the Bodhisattva Siddhattha becomes the Buddha of Righteous Enlightenment appearing on the earth, his good name spread everywhere, from the Goddess, the rich, the faithful. In the Buddha, the Dharma, the monks, they offer four kinds of riches. In contrast, non-religious groups; The majority of pagan believers renounce the pagan monks, refuse to seek refuge thanks to the Buddha, the French, the monks. They no longer offer alms to the pagans; Therefore, the life of the religious pagan more and more deprived more than before.
Although the pagans and Sundarī slandered the Buddha for bad things that were not true, they did not diminish the Buddha's credibility, so the group of pagan monks used poisonous tricks to hire hordes of alcoholics. killed Sundarī's infamous nun, and hid her corpse in the garbage dump at the entrance to the Jetavana Temple . The alcoholic thugs were acting their way.
Later, a group of non-religious monks requested the submission of King Pasenadi Kosala .
- The king, nun Sundarī, our disciple has disappeared.
The king gave orders to seek Sundarī .
The pagan monks dragged themselves to find the Sundarī, in the rubbish dump at the entrance to the Jetavana temple , where they laid the Sundarī female body on a stretcher and carried it to the king, and carried it. Around the city of Sāvatthi slander that:
" Dear all, let's take a look at the evil deeds of Samuel Gotama and his group of disciples, who killed our holy nun, Sundarī, to conceal the sins of Samson Gotama. "
The king of Pasenadi Kosala, who was clever and wise, commanded the soldiers to investigate who killed the Sundarī nun .
At the same time, the group of alcoholic drunks are drinking alcohol and arguing with each other and blame each other:
- You killed the nun Sundarī!
- It's not me, it's you!
Soldiers in the court heard the story, immediately arrested the gang of alcoholism brought to the king asked.
The king asked,
- Did you kill the Sundarī nun?
- To the king! Yes, we killed the nun Sundarī herself.
The king continued:
- Who hired you to kill the Sundarī nun.
The group of alcoholics:
- To the king! It was the pagan priest who hired us to kill the Sundarī nun and told us to hide her corpse in the rubbish dump at the gate of the Jetavana temple.
The king immediately ordered the capture of a group of foreign monks, arrested them to plead guilty; Then we must go around Sāvatthi rectify the slander of Gotama Gotama and the monks before: " Dear everyone, we are the ones who hired the group of alcoholics to kill the nuns Sundarī, to blame Samson Gotama and his bhikkhu monks. In truth, Gotama Buddha and his disciples are completely innocent . "
When the religious group did so, the people of Sāvatthi did not have any doubts. The king took a group of alcoholics and a group of foreign religious conspirators killed theSundarī sisters .
After that, the Buddha and the bhikkhus have been raised by the majority of the people of the faith in the Three Jewels.
The Buddha and the Bhikkhunin Sangha were slandered by the evil, not real, because of the old bodhisattva's evil kamma, he had slandered the Taoist in the past, This is the opportunity for the fruit of the old evil karma.
The Buddha taught about his old karma:
Bodhisattva, a previous life of Tathagata, as Brahmaplas finished school books Blammon, teacher teaches a group of 500 disciples in the forest near Himavanta Mountain.
A Taoist who attained the highest levels of meditation and spirituality came to the monastery. Tathagata saw the Taoist who had endured the jealousy of the Taoist; I also told the group that "this Taoist deceives, Taoist enjoy the pleasures of the five." When the Tathagata said so, the group believes in the words of the Tathagata, they go begging to all families tell people that: "Taoist cheated, the Taoist is the one who enjoys the five senses ", After death, because of the evil karmic retribution for the fruit of rebirth in the hell realm, the suffering of a long time, until the end of evil .
Because of the old karmic potential left over, the present Tathāgata and the 500 Bhikkhus are slandered about the death of Sundarī .
Buddha burned foot skin
In the past, the Bodhisattva, a former child of Gotama Buddha , was a mischievous child playing in the street, seeing the solitary Buddha go begging, the Bodhisatta setting fire on him.
After the death of the Bodhisattva, the evil one gives birth to the four realms of the evil world, suffering until the end of that evil evil, to be free from hell.

The Buddha was touched by rock in his toe ( Silāvedho )
Bodhisattva, a previous life of Gotama Buddha , born in a wealthy family, has a half brother. When parents passed away, left a great fortune. Two brothers each had their own servants; Because of the incitement of these servants, the two brothers made wood, murdered each other, to take possession of all their possessions. Bodhisattva is that he has more power than his brother, pushed his brother fell to the rock niche, and then kicked his dead brother.
After the death of the Bodhisattva, the rebirth of the rebirth in the hell realm, suffering for many thousand years, until the end of the evil career, is released from the hell realm.
The present life is the last, the Bodhisattva Siddhattha Buddha, and the monk Devadatta in the lineage is the son of her aunt and uncle, also the princess of Princess Yasodhar .
The life of Bhikkhu Devadatta and the previous life of the Bodhisattva Siddhattha are two traders of jewelry are summarized as follows:
In the past, the bodhisattva, the previous Buddha, who was a merchant of good jewelery, and the previous monk of Devadatta , is also a jeweler , but greedy and evil.A family that was formerly rich, but now all the assets are exhausted, only the net gold dust is full. The family inherited only one grandmother and granddaughter, they did not know the value of the gold tray.
One day, a jewelry trader ( former bhikkhu Devadatta ) from far away, passing the house, her niece saw, immediately begged her grandmother to buy a jewelry.
Old grandmother affectionately told his niece: "Hey dear! I do not regret it. Hiem a family that is poor now, not enough clothes, then get money to buy jewelry for her. Only the old trays left, ask foreign traders to see if you can change the small jewelry for me not.
She called the merchant, put the old tray for him to see. After a thorough examination, the trader knew that the precious gold trays, which the two grandchildren did not know the value of it. Being greedy and evil, he thought to himself: "I have to take this golden tray, but just change a small jewelry is not worth the price." When he finished thinking, he pretended to throw the tray to the ground and said:
- This old tray is not worth anything, it is not worth 12 cents and a half ! Where to get a jewelry ?
After saying that, the greedy and wicked merchant left the place.
The next day, the honest merchant ( former Bodhisattva of the Buddha) walked across the house, his niece crying for jewelery. Because she loved and wanted to please her, she called the merchant into the house, then brought the old tray to the dealer to see this. This time, she talked about her plight for the merchant, in the hope of exchanging some small jewelry for him.
The trader honestly took the tray, cleaned the dust, discovered this tray is not only a tray of precious gold, but also carved reliefs, delicate pattern, elaborate, What a wonderful art.
The bodhisattva with two hands to nourish the tray and said quietly:
- Mother, this tray is not only pure gold, but also a precious artifact, at least over 100 thousand Kahapana ( ancient gold coins ). All of the jewelry and money you bring with you is not equal to one percent, so you do not dare to touch that priceless artifact.
Old grandmother deeply appreciate the honest heart of the honest merchant, sincerely said:
"My son, this is the true heart of my precious child than this artifact. In the past, there was a merchant who sold the jewelery like this one. He said that this tray is not worth 12 cents and a half. When he went, he threw the tray to the ground and uttered the spit. If it is true, it is of precious gold as you say, it is your blessing. So, take a child and give me any jewelry, do not be afraid.
After many refusals, the Bodhisattva handed over all the jewels and all his money, totaling about one thousand (1,000) gold coins for his two grandchildren, only ask for eight again to cost along the way.
The Bodhisattva brought the golden tray. After that, the trafficked evil man returned to find her, he said:
- Old woman, bring the old tray out here, I will give her grandma a small jewelry !
The old man saw him, despicable man, she said:
- Hey man, my gold tray is worth 100 thousand dong, why did he forego, said that it is not worth 12 cents and a half? I sold it to an honest jeweler, he gave me all my 500 dollars and all the other jewels. I gave away the gold tray for him to take away.
Hearing this, the greedy and cruel merchant felt extremely sorry screaming:
- Oh! I have suffered too much damage! The dealer had stolen a gold tray worth 100,000 VND!
Screaming to dry mute, the heart to hate extreme, the dealer lying rolled to the ground faint. When he woke up, like a madman, he threw away his clothes, jewels scattered, with his head tangled, ran after the Bodhisattva. At that time, he passed over half the river, still heard his shout: "Come back! Come back!". He told the boatman to row straight across the river.
On the banks of this river, too frustrated and sorry, so angry, extreme anger made the bloody mercenary surge in the mouth, rolled to death on the spot. Before we stop breathing, with the heart of hatred yang out evil curse landings contrary to the Bodhisattva: "I will unfairly wrong with you regardless of any position. This is the first left between the previous life of Bhikkhu Devadatta with the previous life of the Buddha.
Therefore, during the time of samsara, when the two meet again, in which circumstances, status, aftermath of the evil wretched merchant also seeks to kill or hurt Bodhisattva; Even as a father, the Bodhisattva is the son, the father also find enough reason to kill the Bodhisattva. Even until the last incarnation; After the birth of PrinceSiddhattha , the former Prince Siddhattha attained the rank of Siddhattha , and the aftermath of the former evil merchant, Prince Sakadavada of Sakya.

One day, this martial artist came to the Bodhisattva's homeland, just as in other places, there was no opponent who could pounce on him; So, he boasted himself as a champion, then flattered to go to another place.
At that time, the Bodhisattva thought:
"This martial artist won all the wrestlers in my hometown, and went away with such arrogant pride."
The Bodhisattva immediately came to see him applauded:
- Come here, pounce on me and go !
Wrestling wrestler laughs and thinks:
- Great opponents, we also won easily, in this short-haired figure, we only need one hand is enough.
He clapped his hands to meet the Bodhisattva. The two shook hands before pitting.

The people in the land so applauded praising the Bodhisattva who won a famous boxer wrestler, and they gave the Bodhisattva the precious prizes.
The bodhisattva healed the shoulder bone, the spine bone for the martial arts, then he stood up and teaches medicine, from now on should not match with anyone else.
Whenever the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva is reborn as a human, the wicked kamma of the wrestler, if there is a chance for the result, the Bodhisattva often has back pain, aches and pains.
The present life is the last, the Bodhisattva Siddhattha Buddha become the Buddha, is completely free from suffering suffering anymore; But the Buddha still suffering from the four elements, often suffering from back pain ... Therefore, sometimes the Buddha is lecturing, back pain arise, he taught the virtue of Sariputta or Mahamoggallana to replace him continue. preach; He let his disciples lie down, to reduce the back pain.That is the result of the old kamma.

The present life is the last, the Bodhisattva Siddhattha became the Buddha of the Buddha in 35 years. From then on, during the 45 years of sermon, the saints liberated from the ocean of samsara in the three precepts of four species. When the Buddha was 80 years old, on the full moon day of the fourth lunar month, the last day he passed away Nirvana. After the Buddha's special nourishment of the sūkuramaddava of Cunda kammāraputta, and adding the taste of the gods in the heavenly realms, it added to the power of His body. On the way to the forest of Kusinārā, the Buddha and the monks on the road to the forest Kusinārā, He is suffering from dysentery, passing stools to blood, causing the body to tired, thirst again, he had to stop resting for a while, then continue to go to forest Kusinārā , the Buddha died Nirvana Entrance to the full moon night of the fourth lunar month (lunar calendar).
The Buddha is the most noble in the three worlds, yet still can not avoid the old evil business.
The Buddha taught about his old karma:
Born in the Lai as a physician, as a teacher for the rich man; Due to dissatisfaction, the teacher has been pouring litter for the rich boy to drink. As a result of the evil karma for the fruit, so the bloody artery to arise Tathagata.
Buddha thirst
The Bodhisattva, a pastor of Gotama Buddha , was a cowherd, leading the herds of cattle to eat grass. The Bodhisattva saw the cow drinking water, so it was forbidden to drink it at will.
As a consequence of this evil kamma, the Bodhisattva Siddhattha finally lives on as the Buddha of Righteous Enlightenment. Before Buddha passed away from Nibbana, on the way from Pāvā to Kusinārā forest , the Buddha was suffering from dysentery. bloody, tired and thirsty. He taught the virtue of Ānanda to get water. He Venerable Ānanda went to the river has less water, and besides had 500 wagons crossed the river as muddy river water, so he Venerable Ānanda not want to take this water. As for the Buddha because of thirst so unbearable, he taught the Venerable Ānanda must take water to give degrees through thirst. Venerable Ānanda Step into the river, it is extraordinary, the stream of water is chilled to become clean green. He took the water to bring to the Buddha.
It is the fruit of the old evil karma that forbids the mother cow drinking water, in his previous life .
The Buddha made the old evil karma created in his past lives to the monks at the forest near Lake Anotatta .
All beings in general, each one in particular, depends on the kamma and effect of one 's own kamma . At present, human beings have the right to choose a career, then have the right to create good or evil karma; But the result of good or bad kamma arising from the cause of the cause, not completely chosen. Good business is good fruit, peace fruit ...; On the other hand, when evil kamma is for suffering ...
Therefore, good fruit, peaceful fruit, should be all good business; and do not want bad results, suffering fruit, should not create all evil karma.
If any sentient beings have created good karma or karmic retribution, then when karma has the opportunity for its fruit, the sentient beings receive the result of karma, as the heir of karmic effect which he himself created. .
The Buddha taught about kamma that:
"Kammassako mhi kammadāyādo kammayoni kammabandhu kammapaṭisaraṇo yaṃ kammaṃ karissāmi kalyāṇam and pāpakaṃ and, tassa dāyado bhavissāmi"
"I have my own karma, I inherited the fruits of karma, karma is human, karma is kin, karma is my refuge. We create karma: good karma, or negative karma, we will be the beneficiaries of good karma, or bad karma.
Every good kamma, every evil kamma, if it is full of conditions and opportunities, it can give results in the present life, give birth in the next life, and the next life until the death of Nirvana. Table, for the Arahants.
Then we should have faith in the karma and fruits of our karma ; Also, to know the past karmic retribution, what is the result, in the present life, is not easy to know, for all sentient beings. The only German Sabbannu ( Buddha Omniscient ) see clearly, know the industry and result of money now spent countless past lives, present life, his future and the lives of all living beings. And some Arahants are also capable of knowing their karmic virtues in their past lives. His narrative is recorded in the Apādāna .
In addition to the Buddha and some Arahants, there are no other beings, no one is able to know their karmic origins in past lives.
Indeed, because kamma and kamma are one of the four inability ( acinteyya ); Do not think thinking about karmic effects and results; There should only be faith in karma and the fruit of karma . If one thinks thinking about karma and the result of karma, one may get dementia.
The omniscient Buddha knows that the old evil karma in the past lives untold, but what are the old evil karmas that He has mentioned, because those old karmas are related to the fruit of suffering in His last birth. , before the death of Nirvana.
Those who have faith in the karma and fruits of their karma. If those people, while enjoying the fruits of good karma, are rich and wealthy, have high authority, etc. They feel happy, happy and happy life; the more they have faith in the karma and fruit of their karma; Therefore, they seek good opportunities to create many good deeds such as generosity, keeping precepts, meditation, ... Thanks to these good karma support lifetimes are noble, especially creating good conditions. The three truths to realize the truth of the Four Noble Truths, attained the Noble Path - Fruition and Nirvana, liberation of samsara rebirth in three kingdoms of four species.
If those people, when suffering the consequences of evil karma, ... they do not blame anyone; They firmly believe that it is only the fruit of the evil karma they created in the past; Now, to the time of the fruits, they suffer the consequences. They bring good heart to frightening all evil karma, sin, they try to get away from all sinful sins, so that their futures do not suffer suffering like this anymore.
Thus, those who have faith in karma and the fruits of karma, despite the fruits of good kamma or evil karmic arising, can still arise in the heart of good and the master; Not affected by the results of karma, not let lobha or mind center arise.
Karma and the fruits of karma are very fair, without prejudice to anyone, even the highest Buddha Siddhartha in the whole world of sentient beings can not escape the suffering of evil karma. What each of us is like; When we are happy to receive the fruits of good karma, we should also patience the consequences of evil karma with clear mind.
The person who has faith in karma and the fruits of karma, believes that: "The karma of the fruit also has the term of karma."
Thus, karmas and results of karma are not fate at all, but the karmic effects and effects of karma are entirely dependent on the law of cause and effect .
The Buddha taught karma and fruits of karma by saying:
"He who soweth seed,
he reapeth the fruit thereof .
The good man, the good
man, the bad man, the bad man.
he reapeth the fruit thereof .
The good man, the good
man, the bad man, the bad man.
You have the opportunity to give the fruit in the present life, the next afterlife and the third birth to the birth of Arahantship, before the death of Nirvana.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.5/2/2018.
