The Kevaddha (Perseverance) 
(Kevaddha sutta)

---

1.   I miss this. At the time of the Buddha was in Nalandà in the garden Pavàrikampa. At that time young layman Kevaddha came to the Blessed One, bowed to Him and sat down. After sitting down on one side, young layman Kevaddha White World:

- The Sun, Nalandà is prestigious and prosperous, crowded people and religious honors. Lord Buddha, heal if the Buddha instructed for a rate of bodhisattva uprightness, the god of change. Thanks to this Nalandà will be more people worship the Exalted. 
Hearing this, the Blessed One said to the young layman Kevaddha: 
- Kevaddha, I do not teach these bhikkhus: "Behold, the bhikkhus, appear to the dharma, white-collar. " 
2. The second time, young layman Kevaddha White World:
- Lord, I do not want to harass the Buddha. I just said: "The Lord of the Sun, Nalandà is prestigious and prosperous, crowded people and devotion to the Blessed One, goodness if the Buddha instructed for a rate- This is why Nalandà will be honored by more people. " 
For the second time, the Blessed One said to the young layman Kevaddha: 
- Kevaddha, I do not teach these bhikkhus: "O bhikkhus, white-collar. " 
3. The third time, young layman Kevaddha Bach:
- Lord, I do not want to harass the Buddha. I just said: "The Lord of the Sun, Nalandà is prestigious and prosperous, crowded people and devotion to the Blessed One, goodness if the Buddha instructed for a rate- This is why Nalandà will be honored by more people. " 
- This is Kevaddha, there are three gods of this I have enlightened myself and proclaimed. What is three? That is the transformation of the divine, tha psychic powers, the spiritual education.
4. Kevaddha, what is the miracle? In Kevaddha, there is bhikkhu attaining the supernormal powers: one appears in the body, one in the body; the transformation, passing through walls, through the wall, through the mountains, as passing through nowhere; rising over the land like in the water, walking on water not as sinking on the land; sit senile on the sky like a bird; with two hands touching and touching the sun and the moon; The great power dread, so great omens, can fly themselves to the Brahma. Some people believe that bhikkhu witnessed the divine powers: one body appeared in many bodies, many bodies appeared in one body: the figure, transfigured through the wall, through the wall, through the mountains as passing through nothing The rising over the land like in the water, walking on water not as sinking on the land; Sitting in a lotus like a bird, with hands touching and touching the sun and the moon; The great power dread, so great omens, can fly themselves to the Brahma.
5. The faithful said to a person without faith: "Hey, Venerable, how wonderful! I have seen the bhikkhu witness of the supernormal powers, "a body manifests itself, many bodies appear to be one body ... can itself fly to the Brahma." Tell the faithful: "Hey, author, there is an attachment called Gandhhir. Because of the appearance of many bodies, many bodies appear in the body ... can fly to the Brahma itself. "Kevaddha, what do you think? How can that be? 
- Lord Buddha, can say so.
- Kevaddha is because we see the danger in the transformation of miracle that we are boring, ashamed, horrible to change miracle. 
6. Kevaddha, how is divine apathy? Kevaddha, in the life of the monk, speaks to the mind, speaks to the mind, speaks of the reflection of the thinking of other beings, of other people: "That is your will." There is a devout person who speaks to the mind, expresses the thought and speaks of the reflection of other beings, of other people: "This is your will, this is the mind. Your, that is your mind. "
7. The faithful said to a person who did not have the faith: "Hey, Venerable, so wonderful! I have seen bhikkhu speak to the mind, speak up the mind, express the thought and speak of the thinking of other beings, of other people: "So is your mind, this is the mind. This is your heart. "The unbeliever can say to the faithful:" O Messenger, there is a sutra called Maniko, thanks to this quotation, This is the mind, the mind, the mind, the mind, the mind, and the thoughts of other beings, of other people ... "This is your will, so is your mind. Hey Kevaddha, What do you think? Can not the faithful say so to you?
- Lord, can say so? 
- Kevaddha I see the danger in the spiritual excitement that I am bored, ashamed, horrible mental excitement. 
8. Hey Kevaddha, what is the spiritual education? In this life there is the rate of education as follows: "Think like this, do not think like that, like this, do not have such intentions, take away this, testify. reach and settle that thing. 
This is Kevaddha, which is called the divine power. 
9. This Kevaddha, now in the life of the Tathagata appears as A-la-dan Chanh Bich Tri ... (paragraph 9-43 is similar to  business Sa-fruit , paragraph No. 40 - 74).
44. When the body itself has ripped off the slipper he joyful birth; by joyfulness should be happy; by the joy of joy, the body is despised; due to body contempt, the birth of life; by the calm, the mind is static. The rate-pretentious, evil, evil evil law, evidence and meditation first, a state of bliss due to separation of education with four. Taste-impregnated, soaked wet, make fullness filled with the body with joy blossom by sex, no one anywhere on the body does not have ecstatic pleasure because of sexual instability.
45. Kevaddha, as a skilled bathing instructor or bathing disciple. After scooping the powder in a bronze bowl, it is then doused with water, the dough is wetted with water, dipped in wet water, damped in and out with water, but not droplet. Likewise, this Kevaddha, bhikkhu imbibed, moistened, made fullness filled with the body with pleasure blessed by the sensuality that instilled. This is Kevaddha, which is called the divine power. 
50 .... and meditation meditation Wednesday ... (like  business Sa-fruit , paragraph number 77 - 81, except the last sentence after each chapter). This so-called Kevaddha is the divine teacher.
52. With the calm mind, pure, uninflammable, no afflictions, novice, easy to use, stable, so calm, bent-oriented, direction to mind, right understanding. . (as  of recluses result , passage number 83) ... Hey Kevaddha, so called the miracle. 
53 .... after the present life, there is no other life anymore ... (see  Sa-fruit business, paragraph No. 84 - 98), except the last sentence of each chapter). Hey, Kevaddha, that is the spiritual teaching.
67. Kevaddha, these three gods, I myself enlightened and proclaimed. In the past, Kevaddha, a monk, began to question: "In these monks, what are they? Kevaddha, that bhikkhu, and in concentration, the path to Heaven appears.

He can know the four great races - the great place ... the great place - where to go after the complete disappearance. " 
79. Kevaddha, he went to Vasavatti. When he arrived, he asked Vasavatti, "This sage, the four great race - the great ... the great - where to go, after the complete disappearance?"

Bhikkhu, They are more likely to know the four major races - the locality ... the mighty - where to go, after the complete disappearance. " 
80. Kevaddha, at that moment, bhikkhu attained concentration, and in mind, the path to Brahma appears. 
Kevaddha, he went to the god Brahma Kayikà: "Hey sages, these four major - the land ... the great - where to go after the complete disappearance?
Kevaddha, heard this, the Brahma Kayikà said to him: "Monks, we do not know the four genera - the great ... the great - where to go, after the disappearance Monks, the Brahma, the Great Brahma, the Almighty, the Grand Victory, the Labels, the God, the Creator, the Creator, the Master, the Lord, the One who is the One, the One who is the One, the One who is the One, the One who is the One, and the One who is the One, completely". 
- Sage, now where is that paradise?
- Monks, we do not know where the Brahma is, why there is Brahma and Brahma from where. But this monk, when the million generals, when the light birth, when the halo, Brahma time appears. The bright light, the halo is the general Brahma appeared before so.
81. Kevaddha, shortly after, appeared at the great rebirth. At that time, this Kevaddha, he went to the Great Monk. When he arrived, he asked Brahma: "Hey sages, these four great race - the great ... the great - where to go after the complete disappearance?" - Kevaddha, heard this, the Great Buddha said to him: "Monks, I am the Brahma, Great Brahma, the Almighty, the victory, the label, the God, Creator of the Master, Master of all beings, Great Monk, Lord of all life, the Self, the Patriarch of beings have and will be born.
82. Kevaddha, for the second time, he said to Brahma, "You sage, I do not ask:" Are you the Brahma, the Great One, the Almighty, the Most High, the Most High? God, Creator of the Master, Creator of the Master, Great Monk, Lord of all life, One, the Fathers of all beings, is born and will be born. " This is the place - the place ... the 
greatness - where to go, after the complete disappearance? " Kevaddha, the second time, Dai Pham said to him:" Monks, Heaven, Great Brahma, the Almighty, the victory, the label, the Great God, the Creator of the Master, the Creator of the Master, the Great Monk, the Lord of all life, the Self, the Patriarch of beings and will be born ".
83. Kevaddha, the third time, he said to Brahma: "Sensei, I do not ask:" He is a Brahma, Great Brahma, Almighty, Great victory, God, the Creator of the Creator, the Creator of the Master, the Great Monk, the Lord of all life, the One, the Fathers of all beings have and will be born. "Sage, I asked:" Hey sage, four the great race, - the great ... the great - where to go, after the complete disappearance?
Kevaddha, when the Brahmin took the hands of the bhikkhu, pulled out one side and said to Bhikkhu: "Monks, gods Brahma Kayikà see that nothing Brahma does not see, nothing Therefore, in front of them, we have not answered: "Monks, I do not know the four genera he - the land ... the great - go. So, bhikkhus, you did wrong, you were mistaken when you left the bhikkhu toward others to answer that question. , Go to the Blessed One to ask that question, and to keep what the Blessed One has to say. "
84. Kevaddha, the bhikkhu, as the great practitioner stretches out the arm that has shrunk, or shrinks the stretched arm, disappears in the heavens and appears before me. Kevaddha, bhikkhu worshiped Me and sat down on one side. After sitting down on one side, this Kevaddha, he said to me: "The Blessed One, these four genera, - the great ... the great - where to go after the complete disappearance?
85. Kevaddha, when I heard this, I said to him: "Monks, in ancient times, when the boat crossed the sea, they often brought the bird to see the shore. The birds fly to the east, fly south, fly west, fly north, fly upwards, fly toward the middle. If the bird sees the shore, the bird flies to it. If the bird does not see the shore, the bird returns to the boat. Likewise, Bha-bhikkhu, you have found the paradise without answering the question, so now come back to Me. "The Blessed One, the four great races - the great, the great, the great, the great, the great, the great, the great. Bhikkhus,
"Where is the land, water, fire, long, short, crude, crude, pure, impure without standing feet? and here is the answer to this question: 
"Consciousness is not visible, boundless, variables and all the land. Here, local college, marine college, the fire, the wind has no leg to stand. 
Here, So long, short, crude, crude, pure and impure. 
Here the name and color destroy completely. 
When the kill, here everything is eliminated.

So religiously. Kevaddha, a young layman who honors the teachings of the Blessed One. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.26/11/2018.
