In the past there was a monarch who used the dharma to govern the country, the people loved it very much. However, the king was very sad because no crown prince. When the Buddha arrived in this country, the king himself came to see. The Buddha taught business, the king heard finished happy life expectancy, the center of reverence to serve. As the only wish is to have a Prince to inherit the throne, the king day and night of three hours of diligent practice is not lazy.
There was an eleven-year-old servant boy who often approached the king. The boy is very faithful, practicing the Dharma, no loss of dignity, humility, patience, diligence specialized in learning business, know the right time to prepare floral fragrance. Throughout many years of hard labor, suddenly one day, this boy is seriously ill and died, the spirit returned to reincarnation as the king child. After birth, the prince was nurtured large, up to fifteen years of establishment as Crown Prince. Then the king glory, the successor Prince. But when he became king, the prince became very proud, dressed up as a playboy, enjoying sensual pleasures, day and night immersed in suicide, not dealing with national affairs, not caring for the court, push people into misery, miserable, miserable country.
Knowing the life of this king is not the same as before, the Buddha led the disciples to the other.Listen to the Buddha, the king made the welcome ceremony as the king did. All bowed respectfully bowed and sat aside. Buddha asked the king:
- The king, the country, the people, the police are all safe?
- Lord Buddha, young children are not capable of good governance, but thanks to his grace, the country should remain calm.
- Now you know where the capital comes from, and thanks to the training of merit that is in the current position?
- Well, you are very stupid, do not know where from before.
- Lord! There are five reasons to be king: one is, generous, so when the king was, the tens of thousands of people dedicated palace temples, wealth countless; Secondly, construction of temples, offerings of three screens, beds, so when the king is sitting on the throne to handle the national;Thirdly, the three of them and the elders are virtuous, so when the king is worshiped all the people;four, the practice of humiliation, the body of the mouth do not do evil, so when the king who see is also very happy; The year is, diligently learn, often ask for wisdom, so when the king decided the nationality, everyone followed the practice. If anyone performs these five things forever is the king of intelligence.
The Buddha said verse:
You know the glass
King, father, teacher, Taoist
Practice all the Dharma
Credits, gender, experiment, literature, wisdom
An an afterlife
Life before good fortune
This is a noble person
Use the rule of the galaxy
Hail, everyone follow
The king is the master of the people
All over the place
The body keeps the Dharma
Thanks to that, I made a mistake.
When the security, do not forget the risk
Compassion of good results
Phuoc Duc and disaster
Choosing the choir.
– Đời trước vua là người hầu cận của tiên vương. Do nhờ tín tâm thờ Phật, thanh tịnh trì giới, cung kính chúng tăng, hiếu thảo với cha mẹ, trung thành với vua, luôn một lòng siêng năng bố thí, chịu bao cực nhọc không hề biếng trễ nên được phước đời này làm thái tử, thừa hưởng ngôi vị vinh hoa phú quý. Vậy mà hôm nay vừa đạt đến chỗ giàu sang tột bậc, đại vương liền bê tha biếng nhác. Phàm làm vua, xin đại vương hãy thực hành năm việc: 1. Lãnh đạo nhân dân bằng chánh pháp, không tự ý sửa đổi và phá hoại phép tắc; 2. Nuôi dưỡng binh sĩ, cung cấp vật dục đúng thời; 3. Nhớ tu thiện nghiệp để phước đức còn mãi không dứt; 4. Biết nghe theo lời chính trực của trung thần, không nghe theo lời sàm tấu làm hại bề tôi ngay thẳng; 5. Biết tiết chế dục lạc, tâm không buông thả.
If a king performs these five things, the reputation of the four seas, the blessings themselves, will not lose all the rules. People are miserable, they will think of rebellion. Tired soldiers are not powerful.Blessed, the devil does not help. Self do not lose self-doctrine, the god does not dare to disobey.Therefore, the king let loose, neglected the water, officials rebelled, people resentment. If so, the current failure of the list, the next life will not be blessed.
The Buddha continued the verse:
World leader
Straight no more than evil
To win everything evil
That is the dharma.
Right Understanding and Giving
Love likes to help people
Equal to all
Everyone will submit.
When the Buddha said the shelf was finished, the king was very happy, prostrated repentance and requested the five precepts. The Buddha sermon, the king attained Tu-momentum. 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.25/7/2018.
