(Mahàvacchagotta sutta)

---

This is how I hear.

One was in Rajagaha (Rajagaha), Veluvàna (Trúc Lâm), where Kalandakanivape (nursing home).

Then the Vacchagotta pagan arrives at the Blessed One, after arriving, expressing his welcome greetings to the Blessed One, after expressing his welcome greetings to the friends, sat down. Having sat down on one side, Vacchagotta pagan said to the Blessed One:

"It has been a long time since I've been able to talk to Gotama. Joyfully, if Gotama told me briefly the good and the unwholesome.

"This is Vaccha, I can tell you briefly the good and the unwholesome. Hey, Vaccha, I can preach to you, broadly the good and the ungodly. But this Vaccha, I will briefly tell you, the good and the unwholesome. Listen and be smart. I will preach.

- Yes, Tonight.

The pagan Vacchagotta obey the Blessed One. The Buddha said the following:

- Tham, this Vaccha, is immoral, non-greed is good. This, Vaccha, is akusala, the yard is good. Si, this Vaccha, is immoral, immaterial is good. Thus, this Vaccha, three legal immoral, three French is good.Ignorance, this Vaccha, is unwholesome, renouncing killing is good. Take for granted, this Vaccha, is unwholesome, to give up is not good. The virtue in the sex, this Vaccha is akusala, the renunciation of the virtue in the sex is good. This phrase, Vaccha, is akusala, renunciation of good speech. Two words, this Vaccha, is unwholesome, giving up speaking double tongue is good. Speaking evil, this Vaccha, is unwholesome, renunciation says evil is good. To say frivolous, this Vaccha, is unwholesome, to renounce the vanity is good. To be happy, this Vaccha, is unwholesome, not greed is greed. This, Vaccha, is unwholesome, no yard is good. Wrong view, this Vaccha, is immoral, Right view is good.Thus, this Vaccha, ten law is immoral, ten is good.

This Vaccha, when loving a bhikkhu cut off, cut off the roots, making as the tala trunk, not be reborn, can not be born in the future, bhikkhu is an Arahant, the grotto has been completed, the practice to do, has put down the burden, has achieved the ideal, has the exclusive use of karmic, mind liberation.

"This is Vaccha, not just one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred, five hundred, but more than that, my beloved disciples except the smugglers or, enlightenment, attainment and reside right in the present moment of liberation, liberation mind.

"This Vaccha, not just one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred, five hundred, but more than that is the male layman, living in the house, wearing white clothes, enjoying the material, but the construction of the sacred, the acceptance of the teaching, the degree of doubt, the attainment of no-lieutenant, no dependence on others, living in the Teacher's holy.

- Expect the same thing with the Evangelist Gotama. Expect the same thing for monks. Expect the same thing for the bhikkhuni. Expect the same thing for the layman, living at home, wearing white, according to Brahman. It is the same for the laymen who live at home, dress in white, enjoy sensual pleasures. But do not know that Gotama has a female layman, a disciple living at home, dressed in white, according to Brahma, after the subtract the lower half of the fetter, is born, entered Nirvana in that place, Do not come back to this life anymore?

Venerable Gotama, like the Ganges (Ganga) towards the sea, flows to the sea, downstream to the sea, standing on contact with the sea; Also, this congregation of Phra Gotama, composed of laymen and monks, is directed towards Nirvana, flowing back to Nirvana, downstream to Nirvana, standing in contact with Nirvana.

Incredibly, Tonka Gotama! Incredibly, Tonka Gotama! Gotama is like a person who sets up what is thrown down, reveals what is hidden, shows the way to the lost, brings the light in the dark so that those who have eyes can see the color. Likewise, the Buddha-dharma Gotama was used by many means. Now refugee Gotama, refuge in France, take refuge. May Venerable Gotama for the child was ordained with the Buddha Gotama, was ordained.

- This Vaccha, who was previously a pagan who wanted to become ordained in France and this law, wanted to receive the ordination, he must live four months of residence. After four months, (if) the rate of benediction, can give him ordained, to the world to become monks. But here, I know the difference in the mind of nature beings.

- If all those who were formerly religious, want to ordained in France and this law, want to live in the world to live four months of residence. After four months, (if) the monks are happy, can give (the monk) to ordained, to the world to become monks, you will live four years. After four years, if the monks are happy, let the monk, the monk to the world to become monks.

Vacchagotta, a pagan who was ordained, was ordained, shortly after his ordination, half a month after his ordination, the Venerable Vacchagotta went to the Blessed One, after paying homage to the Blessed One. down one side. After sitting down one side, Venerable Master Vacchagotta White:

- Righteousness, until the level of intellectual property, can prove possession, I have attained. May the Buddha teach the other (higher).

- So, Vaccha, let's practice these two higher dhammas, just and consistent. These two dharmas have been trained higher, just and consistent, which leads to the inclusion of a number of discrepancies.

This is Vaccha, if you would like to have the following: "I want to attain the divine powers: one can appear in the body, many bodies in the body, one can show transfiguration through the wall, through the wall We can go across the mountains as if we were walking in the water. The bird, with its hands touching and touching the moon and the sun, the things that are so powerful, so dreadful that we can fly to the Brahma itself, then he will achieve what is possible. Enlightenment here, if he still holds the object.

This is Vaccha, if you want to: "With pure supernatural, you can hear two kinds of languages, the gods and the human race, far or near," he will achieve what can be realized in. Here, if he still holds the object.

If you would like Vaccha, if you wish to know the mind of other beings, of other people with our minds, the mind of greed, we can know whether the mind is greedy or mindless. We can know that mind is no greed, or mind has a yard, we can know whether the mind has the yard, or mind in the yard, we can know is the heart of the yard or mind is si, we can Know that the mind is si, or mind is not si si, we can know that the mind is not si si, or mind focused, we can know is mind focused or mind scattered, we can know is mind or the great mind, we can know that the mind is great, or mind is not great, we can know that the mind is not great, or mind is not uppermost, we can know that the mind is not Upper or supreme mind, we can be bi The mind is not supreme, or concentration, we can know is concentration; or do not have to concentrate, we can know is not focused; or liberating the mind, we can know is freeing the mind; or not to liberate the mind, we can know that it is not freeing the mind, "he will achieve what can be realized here, if he still holds the object.

"Can I remember many of the past lives, like a life, two lives, three lives, four lives, five lives, ten lives, twenty lives, thirty lives, four There are ten generations, fifty generations, hundreds of generations, two hundred generations, thousands of generations, hundreds of thousands of lives, many lives, many lives, many lives and lives. this kind of family, class like this, feeling miserable like this, life expectancy like this. After death in that place, I was born in that place. At this place, we have names like this, the family like this, class like this, feeling distressed like this, so long life like this.After death in that place, I was born here. Thus, we can remember many of the past lives together with the outlines and details, "He will achieve what can be realized here,

You may wish Vaccha, as follows: "With pure celestial spheres, one can see the life and death of living beings, and we can know that the bewitching beings are tall and beautiful. The bad ones, the lucky ones, are the ones who suffer from their misfortune. These beings do evil deeds on the body, language and mind, defile the saints, follow wrong view, create wrong viewings; This is after the body of the common net birth, evil land, hell. According to the right view, these people, after the body of the common body, are born in the beast, Heaven, in this life. can see the life and death of beings, we can know beings,

This Vaccha, he may want to be like this: "With the elimination of the gonorrhea, hope that one can with the higher self-realization, attainment and reside right in the present, "He will attain what can be enlightened here, if he still holds the object.

Then Sun worship Vaccha joy, according to the teachings of the Sun, from the seat up, bowing ceremony, the right side toward him and farewell.

Then Vacchagotta monologue solitary long-distance, not arduous, zealous, decent, not soon with victory, self-realization, attainment and reside right in the current Supreme virtue, for purpose The good man of death, the right to leave the family, to live without family, towards the Sanh has been, Pham has done, what to do, after life there is no other life anymore; Vacchagotta became another Arahant.

After a while, a large number of monks went to see the Exalted. Vacchagotta seeks the bhikkhus from far away, after seeing them immediately, after he comes to the bhikkhus as follows:

- Where are the fake monks going?

- Sage, we go to see the Exalted.

- So the Venerable monks in my name, bowed to worship the feet of the Buddha and said: "Blessed Sun, Bishop Vacchagotta bowed to the feet of the Buddha and said:" Blessed are the servants , Thien has been servant.

- Yes, sage.

The rate-he then replied to Vacchagotta. Then the monks went to the Blessed One, after bowing to the Blessed One and then sat down. After sitting down on one side,

"Lord, Sun worship Vacchagotta bowed to the feet of the Buddha and white as follows:" The Sun was the servant, the Sun was the servant.

"Monks, I have known the mind of Bartholonus Vacchagotta with my heart as follows:" Bertrand Vacchagotta is a three-pointed, great power, great power. " The gods also told me this meaning: "Preacher Vacchagotta is a trinity, great power, great power."

The Buddha preached so. 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 AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.4/12/2018.
