61. The Latin Laity in the Ambala Forest 
(Ambalatthikà Ràhulovàda sutta)

---

This is how I hear.

At one time, the Blessed One stayed in Rajagaha, Veluvana, in Kalandakanivapa.

At that time, Rahula (La Salle) was at Ambalatthika (Ambala Forest). Then, in the evening, from the Meditation stand up, go to Ambalatthika, where Rahula Sun in. Rahula saw the Blessed One from afar, when he saw it, he prepared the seat and the water for washing his feet. The Buddha sat down on the table prepared, and after sitting, he washed his feet. Rahula paid homage to the Blessed One and sat down on one side.

Then, after leaving a little water left in the water, Rahula said,

- Hey Rahula, do you see some of this water left in the basin?

- Yes, White World.

- That's a little bit, Rahula, that's the harmony of those who know lying, not the precious.

Then, after leaving the remaining water, he said to Rahula:

- Hey, Rahula, do you see that little bit of water left over?

- Yes, White World.

- Also poured away, this Rahula, is the Sarcasm of those who know lie, not precious.

Then the Blessed One turned over the basin and said to Rahula.

- Hey, Rahula, do you see the water bowl being turned over?

- Yes, White World.

- Also capsized, this Rahula, the Sarcophagus of those who know lying, is not precious.

Then the Blessed One turned back to the basin and told Pharaoh Rahula,

- Hey, Rahula, do you see this water bowl empty?

- Yes, White World.

- Also empty, this Rahula, is the Sarcasm of those who know lie, not precious.

Rahula, like a king's elephant, has a long ivory like a plow, large, well trained, often in the battlefield.When the battle is over, the elephant uses his forearms, using his hind legs, using the forearm, using the torso, head, ear, ivory, tail, but protecting the tent. Here, the admirer thought, "This king's elephant has long ivory as a plow, large, well trained, often in the battlefield. hind legs, use the forequarters, use the back, use the head, use the ears, use the ivory, use the tail, but protect the hose. The king's elephant (do not throw away his life). Hey, Rahula, but when the king's elephant, with a long ivory like a plow, large, skillful, often present in the battlefield, when the battle, this elephant uses his front legs, use the forearm, use the hindquarters, use the head, use the ear, ivory, use the tail, use the hose. Here, the admirer thought: "This king's elephant, a long ivory like a plow, large, skillful, often in the battlefield ... (as above) ... use the tail, use The king's elephant has thrown his life away, and now the king's elephant has nothing to do. " Likewise, this Rahula, to anyone who knows lying, is not precious, my days say that he has no evil but does not. So, Rahula, "I'm determined not to lie, even to speak to play," said Rahula. (like above) ... use the tail, use the hose. The king's elephant has thrown his life away, and now the king's elephant has nothing to do with it. "Also, Rahula, to anyone who knows lying, does not have So, Rahula, "I decided not to lie, though I said to play," Rahula, you have to study that way. (like above) ... use the tail, use the hose. The king's elephant has thrown his life away, and now the king's elephant has nothing to do. "Also, Rahula, to anyone who knows lying, does not have So, Rahula, "I decided not to lie, though I said to play," Rahula, you have to study that way.

Hey, Rahula, what do you think? What is the purpose of the mirror?

- The Blessed One, the purpose is to reflect.

Likewise, this Rahula, after reflecting on many occasions, practices karma. After reflecting on many times, let's practice speech. After reflecting on many occasions, let's practice karma.

Rahula, when you want to be a close relative, reflect on that being: "My karma can lead to self-harm, which can lead to harm, which can bring harm to both. This career is akusala, leading to suffering, bringing suffering results. " Rahula, if you reflect on this, you know: "This kind of body, I want to do, my body can lead to self-harm, which can lead to harm, which can bring harm to both. This is akusala, leading to suffering, bringing suffering results. " Such a career, Rahula, he certainly did not do. Rahula, if you reflect on this, you know: "This kind of business I want to do: my body can not bring about self-harm, it can not bring harm to people, neither can harm them; This career is good, leading to peace,

Rahula, when he is doing a career, must reflect on his body as follows: "This body I am doing, this body of mine leads to self-harm, leading to harm, both to harm. This career is akusala, leading to suffering, bringing the consequences of suffering. "Rahula, if in reflective, he knew:" This body I am doing. This kind of self leads to self-harm, leads to harm, leads to harm both; This career is akusala, leading to suffering, resulting in suffering karmic retribution. "Rahula, give up such a career, but if, Rahula, while reflecting on him, This is my job. This my career does not lead to self-harm, nor leads to harm, neither leads to harm; This career is good, brought to peace, bring peace results.

After he finishes a body, Rahula, he must reflect on his body as follows: "This body I have done, my body leads to self-harm, causing harm, causing harm. This career is akusala, leading to suffering, bringing suffering results. " If, while reflecting on this, Rahula, he knows the following: "This kind of body has been done to me, which leads to self-harm, to harm, to harm both. Suffering, bringing suffering results. Such a ritual, Rahula, needs to be said, to be revealed, to be presented to the Masters, or to the Brahmins. After giving up, expressing, presenting, needing protection in the future. If, while reflecting on this, Rahula, he said, "This body I have done. This body does not lead to self-harm, not to harm, not to harm both; This good deed, brought to peacefulness, brings good results. "Therefore, Rahula, he must stay in the joy of self-study day and night in the good.

Rahula, when you want to do something, reflect on that saying: "This can lead to self-harm, which can lead to harm, can lead to harm both, This is akusala, leading to suffering, bringing suffering results. "Rahula, if you are reflective, you know: "This business I want to do, this can lead to self-harm, which can lead to harm, which can lead to harm both. This is akusala, leading to suffering, bringing suffering results. " Such a ritual, Rahula, certainly does not do. Rahula, if you are reflective, you know: "This business I would like to do: This job of mine can not bring about self-harm, can not bring harm, can not harm both; This is good, brought to peace,

Rahula, when he is making a speech, must reflect on this saying: "This is the work that I am doing, which leads to self-harm, to harm, both to harm. , this is the immoral, resulting in suffering, bring the consequences of suffering. Rahula, if you are reflective, you know: "This is the work we do, and this leads to self-harm, to the harm, to the harm. to suffering, resulting in painful results. " Hey, Rahula, give up on such a ration. But if, Rahula, when he reflects, he knows the following: "This business we are doing, our job does not lead to self-harm, not to harm, not to harm both; This is good, brought to peace, bring peace results.

After he finished his sentence, Rahula, he should reflect on that saying: "This business has been done, and this one leads to self-harm, to harm, to harm. This passage is akusala, leading to suffering, bringing suffering results. " If, while reflecting on this, Rahula, he knows the following: "This business has been done." This occupation leads to self-harm, leading to harm, bringing harm to both, this speech is akusala, leading to Suffering, bringing suffering results. Such a ritual, Rahula, needs to be said, to be revealed, to be presented to the Master, or to the wise Brahmins. After giving up, expressing, presenting, needing protection in the future. If, while reflecting on this, Rahula, he said: "This business I did. This job does not lead to self-harm, not to human harm, not to both. This ritual is good, leading to peacefulness, resulting in peaceful results. "Therefore, Rahula, he must stay in the joy, himself continue to study day and night in the good.

Rahula, as he wants to make a thought, reflect on that thought: "This myth can lead to self-harm, which can lead to harm, which can bring harm to both. This is akusala, leading to suffering, bringing suffering results. " Rahula, if you are reflective, you know: "This I wish to do." This myth can lead to self-harm, which can lead to harm, which can lead to harm. This is akusala, leading to suffering, resulting in painful results. " Such an idea, Rahula, you do not have to do. Hey, Rahula, if you reflect on this, you know: "This is my intention to do." This myth can not lead to self-harm, can not bring harm, can not bring harm to both; This career is good, leading to peace, bring peace results. As such,

Rahula, when he is doing an idea, must reflect on that thought as follows: "This is the way I am doing, and this leads to self-harm, to harm, both to harm. This kamma is akusala, leading to suffering, resulting in painful results. " Rahula, if you are reflective, you know: "This is the doing of me, which leads to self-harm, to the harm, to the harm. to suffer, to bring suffering results. Hey, Rahula, let's get rid of such an idea. But if, Rahula, when he reflected, he said: "This is my intention, I do not. Be good, bring peace, bring peace results. Such a career, this Rahula,

After he finishes his career, Rahula, he must reflect on that thought: "This I have done." This myth brought about self-harm, brought to harm, brought to harm. This time of kamma is akusala, leading to suffering, bringing painful results, bringing suffering results. " If, while reflecting on this, Rahula, he knows the following: "This I have done." This will lead to self-harm, to the harm, to the harm; Suffering, leading to painful results. Such a thought, Rahula, He must be anxious, must be precious, must be boring. After anxiety, depression, need to protect in the future. And if, while reflecting on this, Rahula, he knew: "This business I have done." This intention does not lead to self-harm, no harm, no harm,

Rahula, in the past, the Sargasis or Brahmins who purified their karmas, purified their karmas, purified their minds, all of them, after reflecting so much. Once purified body, after reflecting so many times, has purified the industry, after reflecting so many times, purified the mind. Rahula, in future times, the Sa-or Brahmins will purify the body, will purify speech, will purify the mind, all these; After reflecting so many times, will purify the body, after reflecting so many times, will purify the business, after reflecting so many times, will purify the mind. Rahula, in the present time, the Sa-or Brahmins that purify the body, purify the karmic purification of the mind, all of them, after reflecting so many times,purification of speech; After reflecting so many times, purify the mind. Thus, Rahula: "After reflecting on many occasions, I will purify my body, and after reflecting on many occasions, I will purify my vocation, after reflecting on many occasions, I will purify my mind." So, Rahula, you need to study.

The Buddha preached so. Venerable Rahula rejoiced, the Buddha's teachings. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.4/12/2018.
