(Kìtàgiri sutta)

This is how I hear.

One World Tour in Kasi with the masses of monks. Here, the Blessed One calls monks:

- Monks, I eat, give up eating at night. O bhikkhus, by eating, giving up eating at night, We feel less sick, less brain, contempt, strength and resilience. O monks, come and eat, give up eating at night.Monks, by eating, abandoning food at night, the He will feel less disease, less brain, contempt, strength and resilience.

- Yes, White World.

The rate of bhikkhus meet the Sun. Then the Blessed One continues to travel in Kasi and to a town of Kasi named Kitagiri. Then the Blessed One was in Kitagiri, a town of Kasi. At that time, Bhikkhu Assaji and Punabbasuka were at Kitagiri. Then a large number of monks go to Bhikkhu Assaji and Bhikkhu Punabbasuka, after he arrives, speaks to Bhikkhu Assaji and Bhikkhu Punabbasuka as follows:

- Chu Hien, the Buddha, eat from the night. They are the same rate. By eating, giving up at night, they feel less ill, less brain, less security, strength and resilience. Hu Hien, come and eat, give up eating at night. Chu Hien, due to eating, abandoning food at night, will have less Hien disease, less brain, contempt, strength and resilience.

To say so, Bhikkhu Assaji and Bhikkhu Punabbasuka, say to these Bhikkhus:

Chu Hien, we eat dinner, eat breakfast, eat during the day and eat the time. Because we eat dinner, eat breakfast, eat during the day and eat out of time, we feel less disease, less brain, contempt, strength and resilience. Why are we leaving now, running in the future? We will eat dinner, eat breakfast, eat during the day and eat the time.

Because these bhikkhus can not make the bhikkhus Assaji and the bhikkhus Punabbasuka approve, they go to the Blessed One and sit down on the side of the Blessed One. After sitting down on one side,

- Here, the Blessed One, we go to the monks Assaji and Punabbasuka, after coming to us say to Bhikkhu Assaji and Bhikkhu Punabbasuka as follows: "The saints, the Blessed One, from stop eating at night ... have strength and stay ". Lord, that is said. Bhikkhu Assaji and Bhikkhu Punabbasuka say to us, "We eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, and eat at times. " Lord Buddha, because we can not make the rate of Assassin Assassin and Bhikkhu Punabbasuka, we submit this to the Blessed One.

Then the Buddha said a rate:

- Behold, bhikkhus, go and say in my name, to Bhikkhu Assaji and Bhikkhu Punabbasuka: "The Master calls the Pharisees."

- Yes, White World.

The monk obeys the Blessed One, arrives at Bhikkhu Assaji and Bhikkhu Punabbasuka, after he arrives, speaks to Bhikkhu Assaji and Bhikkhu Punabbasuka:

- The Master called out to the Pharisees.

- Yes, sage.

Bhikkhu Assaji and Bhikkhu Punabbasuka obey the bhikkhu, go to the Blessed One after coming to the Exalted One and sit down. The Buddha told Bhikkhu Assaji and Bhikkhu Punabbasuka sitting on one side:

- Is it true, the monks, a large number of monks to him and said as follows: "Hien, the Blessed Eat, to give up eating at night, so are they. , refuse to eat at night, they feel less sick, less brain, contempt, strength and resilience. At night, Hiền will feel less sick, less brain, contempt, strength and staying. To say this, the monks, he said to these rate: "Hien, we eat dinner, eat breakfast, eat during the day and eat the time. During the day and eating out, we feel less sick, less brain, less energy, more energy and staying. daytime and eating time "?

- Yes, White World.

- Bhikkhus, you understand Dharma I teach as follows: "An individual feels any feeling, lost, suffering, or any miserable, for him, the immoral dharma Extermination, the French are growing "?

- No, White World.

- Here, monks, you understand the dharma I teach as follows: "Here for a person, when feeling so good, the bad things are growing, the good is destroyed, Here, for one, when the feeling of good-naturedness is eradicated, the good deeds are developed. Here, for one, when the feeling of such suffering, the unwholesome are destroyed, the good is grown. the feeling of unhappiness is so unhappy, the unwholesome ones are growing, the kusala are destroyed, here, for one, when the sensation b t suffer any such pleasures, the causes of evil be eradicated, the approach is friendly growth "?

- Yes, White World.

- Luckily, these bhikkhus! I do not know, if not this, I do not know, do not see, no sense, no proof, do not understand with wisdom: "Here, for a person, when feeling so good, the law is destroyed, may be, this, the rate, do not know, I said: "Give up so good"? And so, is this bhikkhu, worthy of Me?

- No, White World.

- But this monks, because this thing I know, I see, I sense, I witness, I resolve with wisdom: "Here, for a person, when feeling so good , the ungodly are grown, the good is destroyed, so I said: "Let go of such pleasure. I do not know, if not this, I do not know, do not see, no sense, no proof, do not understand with wisdom: "Here, for a person, when feeling so good, good deeds are eliminated, the good is growing up, "may, this rate, do not know, I said:" Be witnessed and so comfortable "? And so, is this bhikkhu, worthy of Me?

- No, White World.

Because of this, I know, I see, I am, I testify, I resolve with wisdom: "Here, for one, when feeling so good, the good is growing, the bad things are eliminated, so I say: "Be witnessed and so well off.

I do not know, if this incident, I do not know, do not see, no sense, no proof, do not understand with wisdom that: "Here, for a person when feeling suffering ... when feeling Such a miserable life, the ungodly is growing, the good is destroyed, maybe, the rate-monk, do not know so, I said: "Give up any misery so beautiful "? And so, is this bhikkhu, worthy of Me?

- But this monks, because this thing I know, I see, I sense, I witness, I resolved with wisdom: "Here, for a person, when feeling unhappy life is so, the good is growing, the ungodly is destroyed, so I said: "Be witnessed and stay so unhappy.

O bhikkhus, I do not say that for all monks, there is something to be done, not to give up. O bhikkhus, we do not say that for all monks there is no need to do, not to give up. The monks, for the monks are Arahants, the smuggled or have broken, the practice of chastity, what to do has, has put down the burden, has achieved the right thought, have deducted the property, clear mind liberation; For the rate-like, I say that there is no need to do, not through the discharge. Why? Because of this they were made, by no means. These can not become loose.

And these monks, for the rate-monks are the learned, the unsuccessful mind, living need the supreme peace from the yoke of the yoke; For the rate-like, I say that there is something to do, thanks to no distance. Why? Although while these Venerable monks use the lawful mendicants, are close to the good ones, overriding the rulers, they (themselves) need themselves by virtue of enlightenment attainment, and dwell within The purpose of this virtue, for this purpose, the Practitioner son die rightly ordained, abandoned family, living without family. Thus, bhikkhus, for these monks, because of seeing this fruit of liberation, I say there is something to be done, not to give up.

Bhikkhus has seven classes of people living in this life. What is seven? Level of liberation, intellectual liberation, level of evidence, level of thought, level of liberation, depending on the legal, depending on credit.

And what, monks, is the sentence of liberation? Here, bhikkhus, there are people, after the body has attained the states of liberation, beyond the material and the rúpa, and after having seen with wisdom, complete exclusion. This, the rate-pretentious, called the sentence-free people. O bhikkhus, to this bhikkhu, I say that there is no need to do, not to give up. Why? Because of this he was done, because he was not able to be released, he could not be released.

And this, monks, is the wisdom of liberation? Here, bhikkhus, there are people, after the body does not attain the tranquility of liberation, beyond matter and form, and after seeing with wisdom, complete exclusion. This is called wisdom of liberation. O bhikkhus, to this rate-I say that there is no need to do, not to give up. Why? Because this was done by him, thanks to no discharge; he can not become loose.

And these monks, what is the hierarchy of evidence? Here, bhikkhus, there are people who, after attaining the attainments of liberation, transcend the material and the rúpa, and after seeing with wisdom, Except completely. This is called the level of body. O bhikkhus, for this rate, I say there is something to do, not to leave. Why? While for this author to use the masters of law, close to the good, to control these, he must (himself) with the mind, realize, attain and stay in the present. For this purpose, the Benevolent followers have left the door, leaving family, living without family. Thus, bhikkhus, for seeing this fruit of non-liberality, to this bhikkhu, I say there is something to be done,

And this, monks, how are the virtues? Here, bhikkhus, there is a person who, after himself, has not attained liberation beyond the material and the rúpa, and after seeing with wisdom, complete exclusion; And the Tathagata claims that he sees completely with wisdom and practice completely. O bhikkhus, this is called goodness. O bhikkhus, for this rate, I say there is something to do, not to leave.Why? While for this author to use the masters of law, close to the good, to control these, he must (himself) with the mind, realize, attain and stay in the present. For this purpose, the Benevolent followers have left the right foot, renounce their families, live without family. Therefore,

And these monks, how are the freedmen? Here, the bhikkhus have, after themselves attaining the tranquility of liberation beyond the material and material forms, and after having seen with wisdom, subtract completely; and his trust in the Tathagata has been determined, arise from the base to stay. O bhikkhus, this is called the renunciation of liberation. O bhikkhus, for this rate, I say there is something to do, not to leave. Why? While for this author to use the masters of law, close to the good, to control these, he must (himself) with the mind, realize, attain and stay in the present. For this purpose, the Benevolent followers have left the door, leaving family, living without family. Therefore,

And what is bhikkhu, what is the dharma? Here, the bhikkhus have no self after attaining the states of liberation, beyond the material and the rúpa, and after having seen with wisdom, the smuggled or not excluded completely; And the Tathagata claims (only) this is acceptable to the intellect, although he has the dhamma, the base, base, base, wisdom. O bhikkhus, this person is called the legal person. O bhikkhus, for this rate, I say there is something to do, not to leave. Why? While for this author to use the masters of law, close to the good, to control these, he must (himself) with the mind, realize, attain and stay in the present. The goal of the virtues, For this purpose, the samadhi was born right after death, leaving family, living without family. Thus, bhikkhus, because of seeing this fruit of non-liberality, to this bhikkhu, I say there is something to be done, not to give up.

And, what kind of monks are they? Here, bhikkhus, there are people who, after self-realization, have not attained liberation, are beyond matter and material form, and after seeing with wisdom, minus. But if this person has enough faith and compassion for the Tathagata, this time will have the dharma as the base, base, base, base, wisdom base. O bhikkhus, this person is called a creditor. O bhikkhus, for this rate, I say there is something to do, not to leave. Why? Although for this author to use the law of the law, close to the good, to control the base, but he (need to) himself with wisdom, enlightenment, attainment and stay right in the present. At the purpose of the noble of the virtues, for this purpose the male patriarch, Leave family, live without family. Thus, bhikkhus, because of seeing this fruit of non-liberality, to this bhikkhu, I say there is something to be done, not to give up.

O bhikkhus, I do not say that wisdom is accomplished immediately. But these monks, wisdom is completed by learning slowly, slowly onions, practice slowly.

And this, monks, is how wisdom is accomplished by learning slowly, slowly onward, practicing slowly? Here, bhikkhus, a believer comes near; when he comes near, he shows respect; After paying respect, he shrieked; After hearing, he heard the French; After listening to the law, he experienced the Dharma; After the life expectancy, he reflects on the meaning of the French life; After thinking of the meaning, the dharmas are approved; after the law is approved, desire to arise; After the desire to arise, he tries; after the effort, he ponders; After consideration, he needs. Because of the need, he himself witnessed the ultimate truth, and with the intellect to enter that truth, he saw.

But, if there is no faith, then, monks, there is no coming, Without this ear, there is no hearing, Dharma, there is no such Dharma, in this time the monks, without this sense of thought. In this age, monks, without the approval of the Dharma, , there is no such consideration, this time the rate-rate does not have that. O bhikkhus, here, the He went into the airstrip. O bhikkhus, here, you have entered the path.It is too far away, these bhikkhus, these fools have gone out of the Fa and this law.

The monks, there is a four-part presentation (Catuppadam = Four owls), thanks to this lecture, the wise, not long, thanks to knowledge of the meaning. I will read this presentation to you, the monks, you will understand me through this lecture.

- Lord, who are we to know the Fa?

- Bhikkhus, to a teacher who is too materialistic, a material heir, and living in connection with material things, this period of buying expensive goods does not happen: "We I will do this so, and so we will not do so as such, "said Tathagata, who is completely unrelated to the material. O bhikkhus, a disciple who faithfully teaches the Teacher and lives to enter the dharma, anudhamma is initiated: "Master is the Blessed One, my disciple. I know, I do not know. " The monks, come to a disciple, have faith in the teacher and live in the Dhamma, in the teachings of teachers are flourishing, many vitality. O bhikkhus, to the disciple who faith in the teachings of the Teacher and live to enter the teachings, This time the law was initiated: "Oil only skin, tendons and bones, oil flesh and blood on the body withered, hoping to be diligent to attain what not attained, thanks to the staff, thanks to the staff needed. Now, monks, to a disciple who faithfully teaches the Teacher and lives to enter the Dhamma, he will attain one of the following results: Right Mindfulness, y.

So religiously. The rate of bhikkhu praises the teachings of the Buddha. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABH AMONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.4/12/2018.
