Veranjaka Sutta (Veranjaka sutta)

---

This is how I hear.

At the time of the Blessed One in Savatthi, at Jetavana, the monastery of Anathapindika (Anathapindika). Brahmin Veranjaka, then, came to Savatthi for some work.

The Brahmins were heard: "Gotama is a disciple, a monk from the Sakya family, now in Savatthi, in Jetavana, the abode of Anathapindika. It is transmitted to the Buddha Gotama: "This is the Blessed One, the Arahant, the Transfiguration, the Hollow, the Noble One, the Supreme Master, the Resurrection, the Master, the Buddha , The Sun. With the victory, he himself realized this world with the Ma, Brahma paradise, with them Sa-man, Brahmin, the gods and humans. When he realized, he also proclaimed what he had realized. He lectures on the good, the good, the good, the full of literature.He taught pure virtue completely pure. Really, if you meet such an Arahant! "

Then the brahmins of Veranja went to the Blessed One, after they arrived, some of them worshiped the Lord and sat down on one side; Some said friendly words of welcome to the Sun and sit down on one side; Some of the blessings of the Blessed One and sit down on one side; Some say their names before the Blessed One and sit down on one side; some stay quiet and sit down.

After sitting down on one side, Ba-la-subjects in Veranja White Buddha:

- By religion, by what, here, some sentient beings after the general collapse of the body must be born in the realm of evil, the beast, the land, hell? This is why, in this situation, some species of sentient beings, after the body of the common body, are born into the beast, Heaven, this life?

- The Homeowners, by the illegitimate, on the wrong path, the Hosts, so here, there are some species of sentient beings, after the common body of the dead, born in the evil realms. animals, death, hell. By living the right way, the right path, the Host Family, so here, there are some species of love after the general network, born in the beast, Heavenly, this life.

- We can not fully understand what Gotama talked about briefly without explaining it. If Phra Gotama gave us a lecture, so that we could fully comprehend what Phra Gotama lectured briefly!

- So, the Hosts, listen and meditate thoroughly, I will preach.

- Yes, Tonight.
