9. (1) What is  divine power  ?

Here a monk experiences different kinds of supernatural powers (supernatural powers); from one to many, from many to one; he appears and disappears; he went through the wall, through the ramparts, through the mountain without being hindered like nothing; he padded and floated to the ground like in water, walking on water without water breaking like walking on earth; legs sit cross-legged like astronauts like winged birds; his hand touched the sun moon which was very great and powerful; he ordered his body to fly far away to the heavenly realms Pham Thien.

Here:  in this area of ​​perspective, in this field of choice, in this more favored field, in this field of selection, in this Dharma, in this Law ( vinaya ), in the field of Dharma and this precept, in this teaching, in this life of Pham Hanh, in this Master's Teaching. 'Here' is said for that reason.

11.  A bhikkhu:  A monk is a worldly person who is blessed or a learned or an Arahant who has proved an unassailable state.

12.  Experience all kinds of divine powers:  experience different aspects of divine powers.

13.  From one turn into many:  from one, he directs attention to [himself] into many or into hundreds, into thousands, or one hundred thousand; After paying attention to the mind, with his mind, he decided 'Let's turn into a lot'. He turned into a lot. As the author  Cūḷa Panthaka  from one, turns into many, so does the person with divine powers master the idea, from one to many.

14.  Many words turn into one:  from many, he directs attention to [himself] into one; after paying attention, with his mind, he decided 'Let's turn into one'. He turned into one. As the author  Cūḷa Panthaka  from one, turns into many, so does the person with divine powers master the idea, from many to one.

15.  He appears:  he is not obscured by anything, not hidden, he revealed, he appears.

16.  Then disappeared:  he was hidden, hidden, closed, wrapped up by something. [208]

17.  He went through the wall, through the ramparts, through the mountain without being hindered as through nothing:  naturally, he was the one who achieved the meditative subject. He turned his attention to: 'through the wall, through the ramparts, through the mountains'; After paying attention, with the mind, he decided 'Make that place into nothingness'. There is nowhere. He went through the wall, through the ramparts, through the mountain without obstacles. As ordinary people without divine powers go through without obstacles, places where there are no obstacles, ramparts, so too, people with divine powers master the idea, go through walls, ramparts, mountains are not as obstacles as the past nowhere.

18.  The person padded and floated to the ground like in the water:  naturally, he was the one who achieved the subject of water meditation. He turned his attention to the earth; After paying attention, with the mind, he decided 'Let's turn that place into water'. There was water there. He padded the earth and floated to the ground. As ordinary people without divine powers (supernatural powers) dive and emerge from the surface of the water, so too, people with divine powers master the will, fill up the earth and rise to the surface like in the country.

19.  Walking on water without water breaking like walking on earth:  naturally, he is the one who achieved the title of earth meditation. He turned his attention to water; After paying attention, with the mind, he decided 'Let's turn that place into land'. Then there was the land. He goes on water without water breaking. As ordinary people without divine powers (supernatural powers) travel on land, so too, people with divine powers master the idea, walking on water without water breaking like on the ground.

20.  Legs sit with the position of the astronaut like a winged bird:  naturally, he is the one who achieved the title of earth meditation. He directed attention to nothingness; After paying attention, with the mind, he decided 'Let's turn that place into land'. Then there was the land. He travels (walking), standing, sitting, lying in nothingness, in the sky. As ordinary people do not have the supernatural powers (supernatural powers) traveling (walking), standing, sitting, lying on the ground, walking on land, so too, who has this divine power to master the mind, travel (walking), standing, sitting, lying in nothingness, in the sky like a winged bird.

21.  His hand touched the sun's moon as such great and majestic things:  Here the person with divinepowers [209] mastered the idea, while he was sitting or lying down, he turned his mind to pay attention to the sun's moon; After paying attention, with his mind, he decided 'Make it within reach'. It is within reach. Sitting or lying down, his hand touched the sun's moon. As if there are ordinary people without divine powers (supernatural power), his hand touches the object at his fingertips as well, the person who has this divine power can master the mind, sit or lie, his hand touches his face sun moon.

22.  The position of his body flying far to heavenly Brahma: If someone with divine powers (supernatural power) mastered this idea wants to go to the realms of Heavenly God, though far away, he decides to close: 'Come close.' That realm is near. Although close, he decided far away: 'Stay far away'. That realm is far away. Although much, he decided little: 'Let's have less'. There are few.Although few, he decided a lot: 'Let's have more'. There are many. With celestial eye, he sees the tangible aspect (object) of Pham Thien. With the celestial ear, he hears the sound of that Brahma; with forgiveness of mind, he knows the mind of Pham Thien. If the person with divine powers (supernatural ability) mastered this idea wants to go to the heavenly realm of Pham Thien with the tangible body, he transforms the mind to fit with the body, he decides the mind is in accordance with the body and position. He easily attained a sense of peacefulness and mild awareness, and he went to the heavenly realm of Pham Thien with a tangible body. If the person with divine powers (supernatural power) mastered this idea wants to go to the heavenly realm of Pham Thien with invisible body, he changes his mind to suit his body, he decides the mind is in accordance with the body and position. He easily attained a sense of peacefulness and mild awareness, and he went to the heavenly realm of Pham Thien with an invisible body. He created embody In front of Pham Thien, due to the mind, enough limbs, no senses. If the person with divine powers (supernatural power) goes up and down, that incarnation also goes up and down there. If the person has the spirit of standing, the incarnation also stands there. If the person who is spiritually seated, the reincarnation also sits there. If the person with divine power lies, the incarnation is also there. [210] If a person has a spirit of smoke, the reincarnation also spews smoke there. If the person has a fire spirit, the reincarnation also spits fire there. If someone has the spirit to teach the Dharma, the incarnation also preaches the Dharma there. If the person with divine power questions, the incarnation also asks there. If asked, the person with divine powers answered, the reincarnation was asked, also answered there. If the person with divine powers stands with Pham Thien, dialogue and dialogue with Pham Thien, incarnation also stands with Pham Thien, dialogue,conversation with Pham Thien there. The person with divine powers does anything, incarnation also does that.
