- Evangelical Gotama, Gotama Gotama has the knowledge as follows: "The world is permanent, only so is the foot, in addition to the damage"?

- This Vaccha, I do not have the knowledge as follows: "Tathagata does not exist and does not exist after death, only so is the foot, in addition to the damage.

- What is it, Venerable Gotama? When asked: "Gotama Gotama has the following insight:" The world is permanent, only so is the foot, in addition to the damage ", Gotama replied:" Vaccha, I do not There is knowledge as follows: "The world is permanent, only so is the foot, in addition to damage. Why, Venerable Gotama? When asked, "Is it true that the Buddha Gotama has the following insight:" The world is impermanent, only so is the foot, besides the false one. " The view is as follows: "The world is impermanent, only so is the feet, in addition to the damage." Why, Venerable Gotama? When asked: "Gotama Gotama has the following opinion:" The world is righteous, only so is the foot, in addition to the damage. "Gotama replied:

"This is Vaccha, thinking:" The world is a permanent place, "such as wrong view, anger, ants, ants, ants, anger, anger, suffering , with brain damage, with the heat of the brain, not towards the glass cover, glasses, kill, calm, victory, enlightenment, Nirvana.

This is Vaccha, thinking: "The world is permanent" ... "The world is impermanent" ... "The world is enduring" ... "The world is boundless" ... " The body is a "..." Life and the body is different "..." Tathagata exists after death "..." Tathagata does not exist after death "..." Tathagata exists and does not exist after death "... Vaccha, think:" Tathagata does not exist and does not exist after death ", such as wrong view, sabotage, antisemitism, antipathy, antisemitism, with dukkha, with devastation, with the brain, with brain heat, not toward the cup, lust, enlightenment, Nirvana. Hey, Vaccha, I see this danger that I do not fully accept such knowledge.

- But did not Gotama look wrong?

- This is Vaccha, wrong views have been Tathagata. But this Vaccha, this is what Tathagata has seen: "This is rúpa, this is the collection, this is the cutthroat, this is the feeling, this is the feeling, this is the death, this is the idea, This is the idea, this is the practice, this is the killing, this is the consciousness, this is the consciousness, this is the killings. Thus, we say that, with the deduction, separation of greed, destruction, discharge, throw away all illusion of all comas, of all ants, liberated, no clinging.

- Venerable Gotama, a rate-pretentious mind is so liberated where arise?

- Begun, this is Vaccha, not applicable.

- Thus, Tonka Gotama, he does not arise?

- No birth, this Vaccha, no application.

- Thus, Tonka Gotama, he arise and does not arise?

- Begetting and not being born, this is Vaccha, not applicable.

- Thus, Venerable Gotama, he does not arise and does not arise?

- Do not arise and not arise, this Vaccha, no application.

- When asked: "Evangelist Gotama, bhikkhus where such liberation mind arise where?", Sun replied: "Rise, this Vaccha, not applicable." When asked: "So, Gotama, he does not arise?" Venerable replied: "No birth, this Vaccha, not applicable." When asked, "So, Gotama, he is born and does not arise?", Sun replied: "Rising and not arise, this Vaccha, not applicable." When asked: "So, Gotama, he does not arise and does not arise?", Sun replied: "Not arise and not arise, this Vaccha, no application."Venerable Gotama, I became unconscious on this point, I became confused about this point,

- Hey, Vaccha, stop it, your ignorance! Already, confused! This Vaccha, deep is the French, hard to see, difficult to enlightenment, calm, win, can not discuss, delicate, just understand new ranks. It is very difficult for him to understand, when he is different, other, ideal, practice, other. And this Vaccha, now I come back to ask him. Please answer if you are patient. Hey Vaccha, what do you think? If a fire burns red in front of you, do you know: "This fire burns red in front of me?"

- Phra Gotama, if a fire burns red in front of me, do I know: "This fire burns red in front of me"?

"But, if this, Vaccha, someone asked him the following:" This fire burns red in front of him, the fire is due to something that burns red? ", If asked, this Vaccha, he answered like that. What?

- Venerable Gotama, if someone asked me as follows: "This fire burns red in front of him, the fire is due to something that burns red?", If asked, Venerable Gotama, I will pay "The fire burns red in front of me, the fire burns red because of the fuel and grass firewood."

"Hey, Vaccha, if the fire is off in front of you, do you know:" This fire is off in front of me? "

- Phra Gotama, if the fire is off in front of me, I will know: "This fire is off in front of me."

"This is Vaccha, if anyone asks you the following:" This fire was shut out in front of you, where did the fire go in this direction, the East, the West, the North, or the South? Asked this, Vaccha, how did he answer?

- Can not apply here, Phra Gotama. Because this, Phra Gotama, that fire burned for fuel and grass.When the grass and firewood are exhausted and because there is no other fuel, it is considered as having no fuel, which is turned off.

Likewise, this Vaccha, by virtue of this rupa, by which a person who perceives the Tathagata is able to perceive it, has already been destroyed by the Tathagata, cut to its roots, made as a tala tree. Being reborn, can not be born in the future. Get rid of the so-called nature, this Vaccha, as Tathagata, profound, immeasurable, hard to reach the bottom as the ocean. No launch no apply, no start up no apply, no start up and no start up no apply, no start up and no start up no apply.

By this, by which a person who knows the Tathagata is able to perceive it, the Tathagata has been destroyed, cut off to the root, making as the tala tree is not reborn, can not arise in future. Freeing the so-called life, this Vaccha, the Tathagata, profound, immeasurable, difficult to detect to the bottom of the ocean, arise without applying, not arise no application, arise and not arise no pressure no start up and no start up no applicable.

By this thought, so that a person who knows Tathagata can be recognized, thought that Tathagata destroyed, cut off the roots, making as the tala tree is not reborn, can not arise in future. Liberation of the so-called idea, this Vaccha, as Tathagata, profound, immeasurable, difficult to detect to the ocean floor, arise up no application, no start up no application, arise and not arise no apply, not start up and not start up no applicable.

Because of these actions, so that a person who knows the Tathagata can be recognized, these beings have been Tathagata destroyed, cut off the roots, making as the tala tree is not reborn, can not be born start in the future. Freeing up the so-called onions, this Vaccha, the Tathagata, deep, infinitely difficult to reach the bottom of the ocean, arise without applying, not arise no application, arise and not arise applicable, not arisen and not arisen, not applicable.

Because of this awareness, whereby a person who knows the Tathagata is able to perceive, that Tathagata is destroyed, cut off to the root, making as the tala tree is not reborn, can not be born start in the future. The liberation of the so-called, this Vaccha, as Tathagata, profound, immeasurable, difficult to detect to the bottom as the ocean, arise without applying, not arise no application, arise and not arise apply, not start up and not start up no applicable.

When it is said, the pagan Vacchagotta Noble World:

- Venerable Gotama, like a big tala, not far from the village or town, because of impermanence, leaves fall, fallen shells and shoots fall, fallen trees fall and after a while, with fallen leaves Falling, with fallen shells and fallen leaves, with the fallen tree fall, the tree is pure only the remaining tree. Also, this statement by Phra Gotama, with fallen leaves, with shells and young shoots, with the fall of the tree, that speech is pure, only the core of the tree.

Incredibly, Tonka Gotama! Incredibly, Tonka Gotama! As he who stands up what is thrown down, reveals what is hidden, shows the way to the lost, brings light in the darkness so that those who have eyes can see the sharp; Also, the Chief Dharma Gotama was used by many means of explanation. I would take refuge Gotama, refuge in France and take refuge. Hope Gotama accepted me as a disciple, from now on to the general network, I apply for a lifetime of threshold. 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.
