71. The Vacchagotta Sutta of the Three 
Senses (Tevijjavacchagotta sutta)

---

This is how I hear.

A time of the Buddha in Vesali (Vaisali) forest in Dai Lam, Kutagarasala (Classroom of the Chong).

At that time, the pagan Vacchagotta was at Ekapundarika, the garden of the pagans.

The morning of dying, ying bowl, go to Vesali for alms. Then the Blessed One reflected: "It is too early to go to the Vesali begging." Let us go to Ekapundarika, the garden of the Pagans, to the pagan Vacchagotta. "

Then the Blessed One went to Ekapundarika, the garden of the pagans, to the pagan Vacchagotta.Vaccagiarist pagans see the Exalted from far away, when seen, immediately told the Blessed One:

- Lord Buddha, the Blessed go; The World Honored, good deeds, the Worldly Sun! Lord, have long ago, the Sun had this opportunity, that is, here, White Sun, invited the Sun. This is the place prepared.

The Sun sat on the chair prepared. The pagan Vacchagotta took another low chair and sat down on one side. After sitting down, Vacchagotta the Blessed One:

- Lord Buddha, I heard as follows: 'Satama Gotama is the highest level, the highest level of design. He claimed to have complete knowledge: "When I go, when I stand, when I sleep, and when I wake up, always have knowledge, continuous". Lord Buddha said: "Gotama is the highest level of intelligence, the highest level of intelligence." He says, "When I go, when I stand, when I sleep When I awake, knowledge is constantly present. "The Blessed One, who talked about the Blessed One, was right with what was said, they did not slander the Blessed One with the unreality, but explained The bhikkhu lawful and legal, and no co-legal speech lawful words can be excused to reprove?

- This is Vaccha, who says the following: 'Gotama is the most intelligent, the most intelligent. He claimed to have complete knowledge: "When I go, when I stand, when I sleep, and when I wake up, always have knowledge, continuous". They say that I am not right with what was said, they have slandered me with the unreal, spoiled.

- To explain how, we told the Blessed One exactly what was said, we do not slander the Blessed One with the unreal, we have just explained the Exalted truth and legal; And not a fellow practitioner who speaks the right way can take excuses to reproach?

- You have to explain: "Gotama is the level of three (tevijja)", then Vaccha, he was the one who talked about the Exalted being told, not to slander the Blessed One with nothing. The truth and the law, and the new law does not have a co-saying that legal words can be excused to reprove.

As Vaccha, when I want to, I will remember many past lives, like a lifetime, two generations, three generations, four generations, five generations, twenty generations, forty generations, fifty generations, a thousand lives, a hundred thousand lives, many life, many lives. I remember that: "There I have this name, this line like this, class like this, eat like this, feeling so miserable like this, life expectancy like this. At that place, we have a name like this, family like this, class like this, eat like this, feeling like this, age I was born in this place. " So we will remember the past lives, along with the outlines and details.

This is Vaccha, if I want to, with a pure celestial sphere, supernatural, I see the living death of beings, the lower nobility, beautiful people bad people, lucky people are miserable due to the business of they.I think: "These beings are actually accomplishing the evil of the body, achieving the virtues of speech, achieving the evil of the mind, defaming the saints, by wrong views, create karma. These people, after the general collapse of the body, must be born in the realm of evil, the beast, the land, the hell, etc. These beings accomplish good deeds on the body, achievements of good deeds words, achievements of the virtuous of the mind, not defame the saint, according to right view, create the right view, these people, after the body of the common body, this world". So, I with pure heaven, Super human, see the living beings. It is clear knowledge that beings, low people high, beautiful people bad people, lucky people are miserable due to their business.

This Vaccha, with the eradication of gonorrhea, I in the present, myself with the realization of enlightenment, attainment and resilience, liberal mind liberation, liberation wisdom.

And with the explanation: "Gotama is a three-wise," this is Vaccha, who is the one who speaks of the Blessed One with what has been said, not slander the Blessed One with the unreal, The Buddha is right and lawful, and no new co-lawmaker who speaks the right word can excuse himself.

When quoted, Vacchagotta the Blessed One:

- Venerable Gotama, there may be a house where does not break the fetters at home, but when the mutual body can end suffering?

- This is Vaccha, there is no layman who does not renounce the fetter at home, but when the mutual body can end suffering.

- Venerable Gotama, there may be a lay person who does not exclude fetters at home, but when the body together can be born Thien.

Not more than a hundred, this is Vaccha, not two hundred, not three hundred, not four hundred, not five hundred, but more so than laymen without the fetters of the house. The body can be born Thien.

- Evangelical Gotama, who is the type of non-religious network, after the body of the common body can kill the suffering?

- This is Vaccha, there is no pagan evil, after the general body can kill the suffering.

- Evangelical Gotama, there is no religion outside the network, after the body of the network can be born Thien?

- This Vaccha, though we remember 91 lives, I do not know a foreign god who has born Thien, except one, and this theory of karma and theory of the effect of karma.

- That is, Gotama, this diathesis (titthayatanan) is empty until the birth of Heaven.

- The fact is, this Vaccha, this pagan outlook is empty until the birth of Heaven.

The Buddha preached so. Vacagagotta pagan welcomes the teachings of the Buddha.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.
