This is how I hear.

One time the Exalted One was in Campa, on the shores of Lake Gaggara, with the great monks. Then Pessa, son of the elephant man and Kandaraka went to the Blessed One in Pessa, son of the elephant man after arriving, bowed to the Buddha and sat down. And the Kandaraka said to the Blessed One, after speaking the words of friendship and standing aside. Kandaraka standing on one side, looking around them monks are silent, silent, immediately Blessed One:

- It is so wonderful, Phra Gotama! It is very rare, Phra Gotama! These bhikkhu are Gotama right lead.Phra Gotama, the Arahants, the Sanhedrin in the past, do not know that the Buddha had such a wonderful bodhisattva, which he led the way, as this bhikkhu Gotama right lead Justice Phra Gotama, the Arahants, Chakkas in the future, do not know you will have such a wonderful bodhisattva, that he will direct the direction, as this bhikkhu Gotama right lead Justice

- Actually, this Kandaraka! Actually, this Kandaraka! Kandaraka, the Arahants, the Sanhedrin in the past, these bhikkhus have had such a wonderful bodhisattva, which they direct the right direction, Not the right foot lead. Kandaraka, the Arahants, the Enlightened One in the future, these bhikkhus will have such a wonderful bodhisattva, which they direct the right direction, Not the right foot lead.

Kandaraka, in these bhikkhus, there are bhikkhus are Arahants, the smuggled, the practice of chastity, the deeds done, laid down the burden, has achieved Ideally, with the exception of the fetter, has been liberated by virtue. Kandaraka, in these bhikkhus, there are monks are rational, persistence, persistence, wisdom, bright business, living with mindfulness of four mindfulness. how is four? Here Kandaraka, monks live contemplating body on the body, enthusiasm of mindfulness, mindfulness, to regain the greed of life; living on the feeling, enthusiasm awareness, mindfulness, for the life of grace;live mind on the heart, zeal, awareness, mindfulness to recuperate in life; live on the French, heart, mindfulness, mindfulness, for the rest of the world.

Heard that, Pessa, the son of the trainer of the Buddha:

- It is so wonderful, the Blessed One! It is very rare, White World! These Four Noble Truths have been perfected by the Exalted One, so that sentient beings can be purified, so that their sorrows can be overcome, so that suffering can be eliminated, so that the righteousness can be achieved, so that Nirvana can be realized. Lord, we are at home, dressed in white, sometimes we live smart minds stay in this Four Mindfulness. Here, Lord Buddha, we live on body contemplation, zeal, mindfulness, mindfulness, to recapture in the world; we live on the feelings, enthusiasm, awareness, mindfulness, in order to recapture in the world; we are mindfulness, enthusiasm, alertness, mindfulness, to recuperate in the world; We live in France, France, mindfulness, mindfulness, in order to recuperate in life.Really, White World! Incidentally, The Blessed One! The Blessed One, the Blessed One understands the happiness and misery of sentient beings while humans live in such turmoil, in such scum, in such cunning. Lord Buddha, tangled as human beings. Exalted, open instead of animals. Lord, I can take the elephant, a way to make the elephant whenever he goes or to Campa, presents all deceit, false, cunning, cunning. But the Blessed One, our servants, the servants, the servants, their relatives do the same, they do it in a different way, they do it differently. Really, White World! It is very rare, White World! The Blessed One knows the happiness and misfortune of living beings, while human beings live in such turmoil, in such scum, in such cunning. Lord Buddha, tangled like a man! Lord, openly, as animals!

- Actually, this Pessa! Really, this Pessa! Hey Pessa, tangled up, like humans! Be open instead, like animals! Hey Pessa, there are four of these people in the world. how is four? Here, this Pessa, there are self-suffering, self-centered self-suffering. Here, this Pessa, there are people suffering human suffering, dedicated to human suffering. Here, this Pessa, someone just self-suffering, self-centered self-suffering, as well as human suffering, specialized in human suffering. Here, this Pessa, there are people who do not self-suffering, do not concentrate on self-suffering, not suffering, not dedicated to human suffering. He does not self-suffering, not self-indulgent self-suffering, not suffering, not dedicated to suffering human suffering, right in the present do not desire, calm, feel cool, feeling happy, immersed in the body. Hey Pessa,

- White Lord, self-propelled people suffering, dedicated self-misery, this class of people do not mind the mind. Lord Buddha, class of human suffering, specialized in suffering human beings, this class of people do not like the mind. Lord Buddha, who just self-suffering, self-centered self-suffering, as well as human suffering, specialized in suffering human beings, this class of people do not like the mind.Lord Buddha, who is not self-suffering, self-indulgent self-suffering, not suffering from suffering, not dedicated to suffering human suffering, people do not self-suffering, not suffering in life, right in the present There is no desire, silence, feeling cool, feeling happy, self-propelled into the body, this class, the child's mind.

- Hey Pessa, why do not you like these three people?

- The Lord, the self-suffering self-suffering, dedicated self-suffering self, this class of suffering self, tortured themselves, while self-coveted, tired of suffering; So, I do not like this kind of mind. Lord Buddha, the class of human suffering, specialized in suffering human suffering, this class of people, suffering other people, torture others, while others wished, tired of suffering; So, I do not like this kind of mind. Blessed one, self-suffering, self-centered self-suffering, suffering and suffering, dedicated to suffering human suffering, this class of suffering, torture himself and others while he and others wished, miserable; So, I do not like this kind of mind. But the White Sun, who is not self-suffering, not self-indulgent self-suffering, not suffering from suffering, not dedicated to human suffering, This person is not self-suffering, not suffering, in the present does not desire, calm, feel cool, feeling happy, self-propulsion into the Pham; So, my heart likes this class. And this, White Buddha, we have to go, we have many affairs, more work to do.

- Hey Pessa, do what he thinks is timely.

Then Pessa, the son of the elephant instructor, welcomed the Buddha's teachings, from the place where he stood up, bowed to the Blessed One, his right hand toward him and departed.

Then the Exalted One, after Pessa, the son of the elephant man who had gone away, told the bhikkhus:

"Monks, Pessa, the son of the elephant man, is a wise man; Pessa, the son of the elephant man, is a great intellectual. And if Pessa, the son of an elephant trainer, is sitting a little further, until I analyze more widely these four classes, he will gain many benefits. However, the monks, Pessa, the son of the elephant trainer have also gained many benefits.

- The Sun, now has come. Now it is time for the Blessed One to analyze more widely these four categories. After listening to the Blessed One, the bhikkhus will live.

- So, bhikkhus, listen and ingenuate, I will preach.

- Yes, White World.

The rate of bhikkhus meet the Sun. The Buddha said as follows:

- Bhikkhus, what is the type of self-suffering, self-centered self-suffering? Here, the bhikkhus, some people live naked life unconcerned ritual, lick their hands clean, go begging not to walk, begging not to stand a place, do not take food to bring , do not pick up food, do not receive from the mouth of the pot, not received from the mouth of the pan, not received at the door, not received between the rod, not received between rice mortar, no received from two pregnant women, not received from a pregnant woman, not received from a woman who is breastfeeding, not received from a woman who is having sex with a man, not receiving food to raise money, not received at There are dogs standing, not receiving spot flies, not eat fish, eat meat, do not drink alcohol, wine alcohol. He only ate at one home,Or just eat a piece, or he would eat only at two houses, or just eat two pieces ... or he would only eat seven or eat only seven pieces. He feeds only one bowl, feeds only two bowls, ... feeds only seven bowls. He only ate one meal a day, two days a day, seven days a meal. Thus, he lived according to eating habits for half a month to eat once. He only ate grass, eat rice, eat wild rice, eat skins, eat raw water, eat powder, eat rice crackers, eat sesame powder, eat grass or eat cow dung. He eats the fruit, eats the roots in the forest, eats the fruit fallen to live. He wore a linen cloth, clothed with linen, and clothed, clothed in shroud and thrown, clothed with algae, wearing tirita bark, dressed in black chamois, black-skinned daisies, dressed in sand-paper, dressed in bark, dressed in a small wooden plait, dressed in braided hair, covered in ponytail, dressed in wool. He is a living spat hair hair, who is living in spite of beard hair, is a happy person standing, leaving the seat, is sitting in the cliff, specializing in living quietly sitting, As a bed linen user, sleeping on a bed, living a bath three times a night, bathing (to clear the sin). Thus in many forms, he lives on his self-suffering, dedicated self-suffering. Thus, bhikkhus, who is called the self-suffering one, carries out his self-torment. is a person sitting quietly, in the habit of sitting quietly, in a diligent manner, is used as a bed linen, often sleep in bed, have a bath three times a night, go to bath (to clean error). Thus in many forms, he lives on his self-suffering, dedicated self-suffering. Thus, bhikkhus, who is called the self-suffering one, carries out his self-torment. is a person sitting quietly, in the habit of sitting quietly, in a diligent manner, is used as a bed linen, often sleep in bed, have a bath three times a night, go to bath (to clean error). Thus in many forms, he lives on his self-suffering, dedicated self-suffering. Thus, bhikkhus, who is called the self-suffering one, carries out his self-torment.

And these monks, what kind of self-suffering people, dedicated to human suffering? Here, the bhikkhus, who kill the cow, the pig killer, the duck killer, the hunter, the hunter, the fisherman, the thief, the executioner of thieves, the guards and the other wicked workers. Thus, bhikkhus, called the human suffering, devotes himself to the suffering of the person.

And these monks, what kind of people are self-suffering, self-centered self-suffering, suffering and suffering, dedicated to human suffering? Here, the bhikkhus, the kings, the karmas, made a empowerment, or a Brahmin millionaire. He built a new lecture hall east of the city, shaved off his beard, covered his coarse leather, saturated his body and oil, scratched his back with a deer horn, went to the auditorium with his wife and one Brahminical sacrifice. Then he lay down on the bare ground with only slices of grass. The king lived with milk from a cow, a cow with the same color; The main wife lives with milk from the second breast; and the Brahmin sacrificed himself with milk from the third breast. Milk from the fourth breast is used for fire. The child is living with the rest. The king said, "Kill some bulls for sacrifice, kill some bulls for sacrifice, kill some of the goats for sacrifice, kill some of the sheep for sacrifices, cut some of the trees for the sacrifice, gather some dabbah for the sacrifice ceremony. And the slaves, the servants, the workers, these people for fear of sticks, for fear of danger, with tears filled with tears, do the work. Thus, bhikkhus, who is called the one who has self-tormented ones, concentrates on self-torment and suffering, devoting himself to suffering.

And here, monks, who are neither human beings nor self-suffering, do not concentrate on self-suffering and do not suffer from suffering, do not concentrate on suffering, this person does not self-suffering, not suffering, now live without craving, calm, feel cool, feel happy, self-propulsion into the body?

Here, the monks, Tathagas appear in life is the Arahants, the Chief of the Transfiguration, the Hanh Tuc, the Sun, The World, The Supreme Master, , Buddha, the Sun. Tathagata after self-realization with the superior, this world is Heaven, Ma, Brahma paradise, including this world with Sa-subject, Ba-la-Thien, Nhon, He has realized. He taught sermon neat, neutral, benevolent, full of literary, He taught the Buddha completely pure fullness.

The father or the patriarch, or a person born in the class (downcast) heard that, after listening to the law, he was born religious belief Tathagata. When there is such a belief, he thinks: "The family life is full of sorrows, the path is full of dusty life, the liberated life is like nothing, it is not easy for a person living in the family We can live by the fullness of the Buddha, completely pure, white as a shell, so we should shave off his beard, put on his clothes, leave home, leave family, live without family. Some time later, he left small fortune, or left a large fortune, abandoned his minor relatives, or left his relatives big, shaved his beard, covered his shirt, and left home, renounce. family, living without family.

He is a monk, monk, to the happiness of all sentient beings and beings. He gave up the gift of not giving, away from the gift, not only for the things given, self pure life, no robbery. He abandoned life not Happiness, living by virtue, living life far away, away from lewd lewd.

He is living enough know, satisfied with the sheet to cover his body with alms food to feed belly, take every seat also carry (y and bowl). As the bird flies to take two wings with each other, too, bhikkhu is content with his yoga mat to cover his body, with begging food to feed his belly, take any place with him. He achieved this world clusters of aggregates, enjoy the pleasure of non-violation.

When the eyes see the color, he does not hold the general general, do not hold his own general. What causes, because the eye is not controlled, making craving, superiority, evil, evil law arise, he himself overwhelm the cause, guard the eyes, practice child support eye. When the headphones smell ... the tongue tastes ... the emotional taste ... the awareness of the law, he does not hold general general, do not hold his own general, what causes, Because the mind is not tamed, making craving, good fortune, evil evil law that arise, he overcame that cause, maintenance of the mind, practice the maintenance of the mind. He attained this sacred property, the inner enjoyment of non-infectious pleasure.

He accomplished this clandestine aggregate, achieving this holy gratitude, achieving this mindful awareness of mind, select a deserted place, such as forests, trees, ravines, caves, yards. , outdoor bushes, haystacks.

After eating and begging, he sits in the lotus, rests on the spot, and rests in mindfulness in front of him.He renounces sexual desire in life, living with mind liberation, greed, cleansing the mind of desire.Despair of anger, he lives with the heart of no anger, compassion from compassion all beings sentient beings, wash the mind out of hatred. To give up the hypnotic kiss, he escaped from the divorce, with his mind directed towards the light of mindfulness, awakening the mind of the low mind.Abandonment, too, he was living, not living, the inner calm, cleansing the heart of the election, repentance. Denying doubt, he lives out of doubt, not hesitating, mind clears the suspicion of good.

" Thus he remembers the past lives,
