(Nalakapana Sutta)

---

This is how I hear.

One World Exalted among the people of Kosala (Natchitada) in Nalakapana, Palasa forest.

At that time many male practitioners have a reputation, because of the faith, the monk, renounce the family, live without family, like Phra Anuruddha, Nandiya Sun, Kimbila, Bhagu, Phra Kundadhana, Revata, Phra Ananda, and some other famous male practitioners.

At that time, the Blessed One sitting in the midst of heaven, there they bent around. Then the Buddha, because of the male practitioners, told the monks:

- Bhikkhus, these male practitioners because of faith I left home, abandoned family, living without family. Do monks, the rate-pretentious it does not happy in it?

When they are said, these bhikkhus keep silent. The second time ... the third, then the Exalted, because of the male practitioner, told the rate:

- Bhikkhus, these male practitioners because of faith I left home, abandoned family, living without family. Do monks, the rate-pretentious it does not happy in it?

Until the third time, the bhikkhus keep silent.

Then the Blessed One thought: "Now let us ask these samurai practitioners."

Then the Sun told the author of Anuruddha:

- Hey Anuruddha, are you happy in your life?

- The Lord, we really happy in the virtue.

- Instead, heal, the Anuruddha. The Anuruddha, it is worthy of you, the Good Samaritan, because of the renunciation faith, abandoned family, living without family, you are happy in the holy. Behold, the Anuruddha, while he was with a good youth, in his youth, with black hair, could enjoy the pleasures of his time, these Anuruddha, with youthful youth, in his youth , with black hair, left home, abandoned family, living without family. Be the Anuruddha, you are not for the order of the king but renounce, leave family, live without family. You do not for the orders of the thief who left the family, leave the family, live without family. You do not because of debt, not because of fear, not because of the occupation of the family, leaving the family, living without family. But with the following thought: "I was born, old, death, sorrow, sadness, suffering, oppression, oppression, suffering. However, I wish to see the end of all this aggregate of suffering. "Are you, the Anuruddha, of faith, renouncing the family, living without family?

- Yes, White World.

- And such a family, what the Anuruddha, the male practitioner need to do? Be the Anuruddha, the lustful, the ungodly. If no bliss or a state of peace than another, the invasion of concentration and residence, the invasion of the mind and stay, quiet kiss ... ... unconsciousness ... invading the mind and staying. The Anuruddha, when not lusted, is not harmless, he does not prove to be happy or a more calm state. The Anuruddha, the lustful, the unwholesome glass, he attests to bliss or another state of tranquility, the desire to invade the mind and stay, the yard does not invade the mind and stay, Hao ... so much foreign exchange ... suspicion or ... condom ... do not invade the mind and stay. The Anuruddha, the lustful, the unwholesome glass,

Hey Anuruddha, how do you think of Me? The gonorrhea or related to defilements of birth defilement, frightening, leading to the consequences of diurnal, direction to birth, aging, death in the future, the pirate or that has not been Tathagata. Thus, Tathagata after analyzing analysis, using a French method;After analyzing the analysis, to endure a dharma; After analyzing, abandoning a dharma, after analyzing the analysis, deducting a dharma?

- Buddha, we do not think the same about the Exalted: "The contraband or any related afflictions, arise post-organic, worth fear, leading to dry fruit maturity, toward birth, aging, die in the future, the defilements that have not been Tathagata eradicated. Therefore, the Tathagata after reflection analysis, the life of a law; after thinking analysis, life a Justice; after thinking feces to give up a dharma, after analyzing, deducting a dharma ". Venerable sir, we think of Bhagavan as follows: "The contraband or any related afflictions, arise post-organic, worth fear, brought to fruit dries maturity, toward birth, aging, death in the future , the defilements that have been Tathagata eradicated. Therefore, the Tathagata after reflection analysis, the life of a law; after thinking analysis, life a law, after reflection analysis, waive a French, after analyzing the analysis,

- Instead, heal, this Anuruddha! The gonorrhea or related to defilement, birth, endangered, frightening, leading to the wrong fruit, direction to birth, aging, death in the future has been cut off, root cut, do as Tala tree can not be born again, can not be born in the future. For example, the Anuruddha, tala tree head was cut off, can not grow up anymore, so also the Anuruddha, the gonorrhea or related to affliction ... Tathagata was removed, cut to the root , as if tala trunk can not be born, can not be born in the future. Thus, Tathagata after analyzing analysis, using a French method; After analyzing the analysis, to endure a dharma; after analyzing, abandoning a dharma; after analyzing, subtracting one.

Hey Anuruddha, what do you think? Seeing the special purpose, Tathagata explained the rebirth of the disciples who had died, was destined general, said. "This person is born here, he is born here."

- For the Sun, for us, the dharma based the Sun as the basis, direction of the Sun as a leader, rely on the Sun to do. Well, it is good if the Buddha preached for this meaning. After hearing the Buddha, the rate-bhikkhu will maintain.
