He was not only respected because of the act of offering the precious garden to Buddha, but also because of his great kindness, great devotion and the protection of his monks.

Granting Her Single is a millionaire elder in the Xa Ve capital of Kieu Tat La kingdom, northern India. He was really Tu Dat (Sudatta), because he often provided help to the poor, lonely, and famous people of the kingdom, so everyone loved him and gave him the nickname of Lady Poison, means "the one who saves the poor and lonely." He has a wife and four children, three first girls and a youngest son.

The story of the layman of Solitude and the Buddha

Tu Dat had a brother-in-law who was a wealthy merchant in the town of Vuong Xa. Every time he got a job here, he stayed at his brother's house. One day here, Tu Dat saw his brother-in-law busy busy preparing a big party for tomorrow. He asked, his brother-in-law said:

- Tomorrow he will also invite Buddha and his monks disciples to live at home.

When he heard the voice of "Buddha" from his wife's mouth, Tu Dat suddenly felt an incredible interest in his interest, and asked his brother-in-law to speak more clearly about enlightenment for him to listen to. , his brother-in-law told Tu Dat about the Buddha's supremacy, virtue, and transcendental wisdom, he himself heard Buddha's dharma and became his home disciple. erected sixty-six small buildings scattered in Truc Lam monastery to offer monks.

What an opportunity! When hearing these things Tu Dat felt extremely happy, paying respect to the Buddha immediately. Thinking that, just for one night, tomorrow I will have a precious opportunity to meet Buddha right here in this house, he is very happy and still goes to sleep. Thinking that he would sleep well, but no, during the night he could not sleep. He got up three times because he thought it was morning, but the night was still thick. Finally, unable to wait, he woke up. Although it was not yet morning, he still decided to go to Truc Lam to find Buddha.

When he reached the monastery campus, it was dawn in the morning. Although his heart was impatient, he was also afraid. Suddenly he heard a voice calling him by name: "Reaching!" Looking straight ahead, he saw a person, and a premonition informed him, that person was the Buddha. That's right, it was the Buddha, at that time he was walking meditation outside. When there was a glimpse of someone coming, he knew immediately that it was Tu Dat! He woke up, taking a step forward. In a solemn and respectful way, he bowed and bowed to Him. He introduced himself and told Buddha his mood from yesterday until now, then asked Buddha to teach him about morality. It was a morning at Truc Lam monastery, after Buddha's third retreat.

After hearing the first sermon, his mind lit up. He happily bowed and asked Buddha to accept him as his home disciple. Buddha gladly accepted. When the Buddha directed the monks to the offering ceremony at his brother-in-law's house, he also invited the Buddha and the monks on the next day to come here to increase their offerings due to his offerings. In this monastic ceremony, Tu Dat solemnly asked the Buddha and monks to come to his home town, to spread the dharma. He vowed to establish a large monastery at the Citadel to offer offerings to the Buddha and the congregation as a basis for studying and practicing in Kieu Tát La kingdom.

The encounter between the Level of the Loner and the Buddha in the temple

The above request was promised by Buddha. He immediately returned to Xa Ve to find a place to build the monastery. He observed many places around the city, but he did not like it. Then, Prince Tu Da (Jeta) of Kieu Tat La country, there is a garden that is close to the citadel, due to his father, Persian Persons (Prasenajit - Pasenadi) (1). The place is spacious, pure, beautiful and elegant landscape, it is a suitable place to establish a monastery. Practitioner Tu Dat was very satisfied, went to the imperial palace to meet the prince to negotiate to buy back. Meeting the prince, he presented his desire to buy the prince's garden to build a monastery to offer to the Buddha and his congregation, as a basis for studying and propagating. The prince said jokingly:

- That garden is for my father. I love it like gold. If you can bring the pure gold to the ground all over the garden then I will sell it to you.

But Tu Dat said it was a serious word, and answered:

- Yes sir. Tomorrow morning I will bring gold and follow the conditions of the prince who just issued it.

So surprise! The prince was startled by surprise:

- I'm just joking, but that garden I don't want to sell. You don't bring gold!

But the author still took seriously:

- Dear Prince! He is a king. What he said, it cannot be denied.

The Prince had to give in, but he still wanted Tu Dat not to have enough gold so he could not lose the garden. Do not let the prince have time to say anything more, Tu Dat rushed to admit it.

The next morning, when the crown prince came to the garden, Tu Dat's gold had already arrived, and his servants were lining gold on the garden ground. The prince witnessed the golden lining that felt more and more strange. Premonition Prince this is not normal. The head of the fake man took out a pile of gold in a cheap way to buy only a garden with only recreational value and no practical benefits like this, what was it for? Thus, the person he called the "Buddha" must be a formidable character! At that time, the gold was spread out close to the garden, and Tu Dat was looking at the trees. thoughtful, the prince came to pat Tu Dat's shoulder, asking:

- What are you thinking without continuing to lining up the gold? Do you want to change your mind?

Tu Dat startled, hurriedly answered:

- Not so, I was thinking about how to cover the trees with gold. It's too hard!

Then the prince asked him to tell him about the Buddha and his congregation, see what is special. Tu Dat's eyes suddenly lit up because of pride. He began to talk about Buddha's outstanding personality, morality and wisdom, about the dharma that Buddha taught him, and about the noble and virtuous life of the congregation.The prince heard what he said, also felt excited in his heart, immediately suggested:

- Well, enough gold lining is enough, don't think anymore. As for the remaining vacant land, and all the trees in the garden, I would like to offer Buddha, called to contribute a little to his beautiful work. Think of it as he offered the land and I offered it to build a monastery. Being understood by a person like the prince and sincerely supporting him, Tu Dat was joyful and unspeakable. Since then, the garden has been called the "Solitary Garden with Ky Da tree".

So the site was there, layman Tu Dat immediately returned to the King's house to submit to Buddha, and asked Buddha to give his opinion on the construction of the monastery. The Buddha sent a venerable author to the Venerable Phat and went to Xa Ve and Tu Dat to look after the construction work.

Arriving at Xa Ve, the Venerable Venerable Residence resides right in the garden to facilitate the transfer of work. In the evening, false religious people often say the dharma right at the garden. The number of people listening to the dharma is growing, the Buddha has not come yet, the Dharma has been admired by the people.

Four months later, construction work was completed. The monastery has Buddha's net, there are monks, monasteries, lecture halls, convalescence homes, baths, lakes, walking meditation paths ... considered to be full of comfort, and seem more superficial. Truc Lam monastery. The monastery is called by many names: Ky Vien, Ky Hoan, Lonely, or Single Life.

Venerable Xa Loi went back to the King of Xa Xa to invite Buddha and increase them to the Vassal. In the meantime, layperson of Aunt Poison and Prince Tu Da was worried about preparing everything perfectly to welcome the Buddha and the congregation.

During the last residence in Xa Ve, venerated Xa Loi Phat was challenged by hundreds of famous commentators of the pagan. With wisdom and eloquence, false religion has subdued them all and brought them into the path of righteous dharma.

Both the Lonely Family are devout Buddhists. His wife is a pious housewife. All three daughters are passionate. The youngest son at first did not like to go to the temple to listen to the dharma, the conduct was not very good, but thanks to the skillful teaching of his parents, he also listened to the Buddha's teachings, and became an exemplary model .

In the previous days, the story of "the head of the monk Tu Dat did not regret gold and silver, bought the garden of Prince Tu Da to build a monastery for the enlightened and his congregation will come from the kingdom of Ma Kiet" , has been spread among the people of the capital Xa Ve; now the story of "a disciple of the enlightened one has argued over the victory of hundreds of professors who are Brahmin", has made the people more excited to receive a new religion; and layman Tu Dat, so that the faith for the Buddha Dharma is more and more profound and hard to move. Therefore, the day when the Buddha led the congregation to the Xa Ve capital, the people in the city automatically accompanied the layman Tu Dat and Thai Tu Ky Da, welcoming the real Buddha, as a great festival of capital.

Layman and prince guide the Buddha and the congregation towards the monastery of Ky Vien. Seeing that the establishment was thoughtfully built, Buddha praised Tu Dat's merit-making merit.

Ky Vien was a great center of study and practice built after Truc Lam monastery.Buddha went through the fourth retreat here. From the twenty-second retreat season, due to the occasional monks, every year until the rainy season, he returned to settle in Xa Ve. In total, at this monastery, the Buddha settled all nineteen times. Most of the sutras have also been given the Buddhist doctrine here. The head of the Sisters of Loneliness is often the object of Buddha's teaching of lay teachings.

It can be said that the Level of Solitude went to the monastery every day to visit the Buddha and learn. His mind is really solid. All his family are devout Buddhists. His wife is a pious housewife. All three daughters are passionate. The youngest son at first did not like to go to the temple to listen to the dharma, the conduct was not very good, but thanks to the clever teaching of his parents, he also listened to the Buddha's teachings, and became an exemplary model.

When this son married, he encountered an unruly wife, the rich man, did not listen to his parents-in-law, did not admire the husband's counsel, nor did he worship the Dharma. One day, the Buddha came to visit lay Buddhist monk Tu Dat, just when his daughter-in-law was shouting loudly at home. He immediately called her up and preached to her a sermon on "the seven wives of the world."After listening to this sermon, she was ashamed and promised Buddha that she was determined to change her mind to become a gentle wife, a filial daughter-in-law. Since then, the Buddhist monk Tu Dat has become an exemplary whole family.

The alms-giving happiness of Tu Dat layman is immense. For society, he always left a part of his family to provide for all the poor, lonely, homeless, without relatives to rely on. He helps, defends and protects them. Because of that, he was loved and respected by everyone, from the king, the great gods in the court, to the people of the same nation. For the Buddha and the congregation, in addition to offering the monastery of Ky Vien, he was also interested (along with the female lay monk Ty Xa Khu - see the next chapter) to provide residence, medicine, food and medicine enamel for monks and nuns from anywhere to become Xa Ve.

The thirty-seventh settlement season, Buddha dwells at Ky Vien monastery. One day after the dharma talk, the monk Tu Dat's wife said to the Buddha that her husband is seriously ill, and may not live much longer. The next day, the Buddha along with two religious venerable Xa Loi Phat and A Nan visited Tu Dat. Seeing the Buddha and two false religious men, he was very happy. To comfort him, Buddha taught:

- Tu Dat! He lived a meaningful life all his life. He has done so with the suffering of so many people. He also contributed a great deal of energy to enlightened propaganda that was spread everywhere. He lived according to the righteous Dharma, created happiness for himself, for his family, and for many people in society. Now he should nourish. The Loi Loi Xa teacher will visit him from time to time and guide his studies.

Nearly a month later, the layman Tu Dat's family came to the monastery to report to the venerable Xa Loi Phat that the sickness of the renunciation became severe.Religions of the false religion and new false religion A Nan visited Tu Dat. He could not sit up, just lay on the bed and received two false religious men.Knowing this was the last moment of his life, venerating Xa Loi, he immediately gave him a great sermon; just taught and taught him to follow. When he heard and visualized the lesson, his tears suddenly flowed on his cheeks. False religion A Nan saw that, asked:

- Layman Tu Dat! Star? Are you afraid that reflection doesn't work, and does the spirit become debilitating?

- White religious fake A Nan! I have no fear, my spirit is not debilitating. I admire very successfully, I cry because I'm so touched. I have served the Buddha and they have grown for more than thirty years, have heard many teachings taught by The Buddha, yet have I never heard any profound and miraculous lesson like the one today.

The venerable Xa Loi Phat explained:

- Layman Tu Dat! Such profoundly profound teachings are often taught only to monks and nuns.

- White two false religious! Every disciple of the layman also has someone who can hear, understand and practice this profound profound Dharma. Please respect the two religious people with the Buddha, please allow the lay people to hear and practice the Dharma far away from that mystery.

Layman Tu Dat suddenly passed away that afternoon. The two false religious people have stayed for a long time for him.

The image of the lonely layman in the hearts of Buddhists

As Buddhists, we all have the same opinion about Mr. Su Dat Ta (Sudatta), that is, the layman of Auntie, who has great merit in the mission of maintaining the Dharma and improving society during the Buddha's time. pillar - 623 years ago Gia To era. This judgment is primarily aimed at his role and work in the two aspects of Path and Life!

In terms of Life, he contributed positively and effectively to the social improvement work through the establishment of the Vocational Training Center, the Hunger Rescue Center, the Nursing Home, the Orphanage, especially five hundred permanent rations. at home for those who are hungry for food. He did not know how to refuse. His house is like a well, like a sweet spring. Anyone who needs it is at their disposal. Therefore, he was proclaimed by the people of the world as "The Unique Lady" (Anàthapindika).

On the Dao side, he was a great dharmapala, the first saint of the Buddha (Sotàpanno), a good intellectual of the entire Buddhists of the contemporary era.

For the Dhamma, A Single Sisters is a layman who both has the ability to bone and have the ability to speak. It was the Buddha who encouraged him before the Sangha: "The monks! As soon as some bhikkhus have lived in the Church for a long time, so long as they have not enough profound teachings to be able to answer to the Madame Magi. The subject is exactly the same as the Tiger! ".

He absolutely revered the dharma as revered by the Buddha. He set up many lecture halls in the city of Sāvat, so that the public could hear and learn the doctrine. He knew that, if only helping pure material, lack of spiritual elements, family and social life would also be stuck. The only secret to help clear the roadmap to the ultimate happiness is the Dharma. Because righteousness is the main focus, is the material of life and death that has the ultimate combination of solving, the two missions of Dao - Life is very complicated.

In the process of coordinating the task, Loneliness has shown a role in itself as a self-witness. Not that he is such a typical embodiment in times of prosperity, but as soon as the fall also retains its form. His work of volunteering to volunteer for dharma dharma not only has the Chinese-Indian local history, but also has the global character of the era.

With typical images with historical characteristics, Mr. Grant Herod has painted a very humane humanistic picture, colored "humanity", "Saint Thanh" molded cage, hung in the middle of the grand court, but the image always glows in the sky in the sky of East Asia.

For the Elder Sangha, Aunt Poison is a great benefactor from the Sangha. He is like water, they rise like fish. He devoted himself to voluntarily offering food to the five hundred monks who passed by his house. Every day, he went to Ky Vien monastery twice: noon and afternoon. At noon he went to the temple to make offerings to the Buddha and increase them with food, the afternoon of smoothies.Monks, especially young monks and novice novices, see his presence as a sign of "Divine Power". He never went to the temple. Usually every afternoon, after listening to the dharma, he went around the pagoda to timely offer individual needs to each one.

Within the family, he guides and rests them on the righteous faith. Only one grandson was severely disincentive, although he helped and touched, but failed, so he died on a wandering, unclaimed road.

For thousands of maids, he viewed them as relatives and helped them all, without distinction. As soon as in the days of pure son, he also instructed them and their families to take care of the boys.

For friends, the majority are thanks to him, but they respect the Dharma. Just as Thai Prince Ky Da also thanks to his pure heart and influence, his righteous beliefs and beliefs have lived a good life.

In summary, about all living areas, from oneself, family, lineages, servants, and friends to ordinary people, they are entitled to inherit his merit and virtue through the specific Four-law, especially Dad photographer.

With typical historical images, he granted a very lively humanitarian picture, colored "humanity", "Hien Thanh" mold, and hung in the middle of the grand court, but the image always glows in the sky in the sky of East Asia.

Today, if anyone is in love with the Buddha's relics in Central India, when he comes to the States of the Vihara - the first historical temple built by him, the Buddha and the Saints in Satan Exam (Sàvatthì) then you will be able to see the temple worshiping this dharmapala, about two kilometers away from Ky Vien Tu.Although being devastated by time and paganism, the earth still embraces the form, the sky is still covered in spirituality, the sunshine still warms the spirit and the nights of the week's full moon, Hang Nga also leaves the temple. supply, to beautify a historical relic of thousands of years. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.2/6/2019.
