There, World Religion called the Male-stilts: "The Male-stilts". - "Yes, white World Religion". The Male-stilts he obeyed World Religion. The Blessed One said this:

The Male-stilts, the hell-keepers, after arresting him with many arms, led him to King Yama and said:

"- My Lord, United Kingdom, this person has no compassion, is not worthy of Sa-keeper, is not worthy of Brahmin, does not respect the elders in the family.

The Male-stilts, King Yama, questioned him, interrogated, interrogated him about the first Angel: "Hey man, Do you see the first Angel appeared in the midst of humankind?"

He said, "Sir, did not see." Then the Male-stilts, King Yama said to him, "Behold, Do you see among humans there is a small, weak child, lying on his back, lying between his feces and urine? " He answered, "Sir, did you see?" Then the Male-stilts, King Yama said to him, "This person, though you are a conscious and old man, but you don't think:" I am being dominated, I cannot escape being; Let's do good deeds of body, speech and mind. "He replied," Sir, I cannot do it, because I am distracted. "Then monks, King Yama said to him: There, if you are distracted, you do not do good things about body, speech, and mind; surely they will do for you, this and that, depending on your distraction. Because this is a negative karma of Thy, not by the mother, not by the father, not by him, not by her, by friends and friends, not by blood relatives do, not by Sa-Mon, Brahmin-made, not by gods. Such negative karma is precisely what you do, it is you who must feel that karmic retribution ".

Monks, after questioning, interrogating, and interrogating the other about the First Angel, King Yama questioned, interrogated, interrogated the Second Angel: "Hey that man, did you see between Humans, the second angel appeared? " He replied, "Sir, did not see." Then the Male-stilts, King Yama said to the other man, "Behold, Do you see a woman or a man of eighty years old, or ninety years old, or a hundred years old, frail, curled like a rooftop. , leaning back, walking stick, walking and shivering, pathology, youth has passed away, tooth loss, wolf hair, wrinkled skin, trembling, with faded limbs?

"Then the monks, King Yama said to him: "Hey the other, if due to distraction, You do not do good things about body, speech, mind; surely they will do for you, this and that, depending on your distraction. Because this is a negative karma of Thy, not by the mother, not by the father, not by him, not by her, by friends and friends, not by blood relatives do, not by Sa-Mon, Brahmin-made, not by gods. Such bad karma is what you do,

The Male-stilts, after questioning, interrogating, interrogating the other on the second angel, the new King Yama interrogated, interrogating, interrogating about the third Angel: "Hey, Do you see between Humans, do the third Angel appear? " He replied, "Sir, you have not seen." Then the Male-stilts, King Yama said to the other man: "Hey, Man, do you see the woman or the man who is sick, suffering, suffers from severe illness, falls into his urine and stool , need someone else to lift, need someone to help you lie down? " He answered, "Sir, did you see?"

Then the Male-stilts, King Yama said to him, "Hey, man, although you are conscious and old, but you don't think:" I am sick, I cannot escape; Let's do good deeds of body, speech and mind.

Then the Male-stilts, after questioning, interrogating, interrogating, he went on to the Fifth Angel, King Yama kept silent.

Then the Male-stilts, the keepers of Hell arrested him subjected to punishment called five piles (Pancavidhabandhanam), they grab a red iron stake close to a hand, they take a red iron stake close to the second hand two, they take the red iron stake close to the foot, they take the red iron stake close to the second foot, they take the red iron stake close to the center of the chest, he is here to receive the painful feelings, miserable, fierce. But he cannot be destined to be joint together until his negative karma has been eliminated.

The Male-stilts, the hell keep watcher forced him to lie down and take a hammer tightly. He is here to receive the feeling of pain, anguish, fierce. But he cannot be destined to be joint together until his negative karma has been eliminated.

The Male-stilts, the hell keep watch people upside down his leg above, head below and hammer him tightly. That person here feels ... not eliminated.

Then the Male-stilts, those who watch the Hell keep throwing him into the Great Hell. The Male-stilts, The hell has four corners, four doors, divided into equal parts, surrounded by iron walls, iron roofs roofing up. Hell with red iron fire, flowing red, upright, always present, a hundred by week.

The Male-stilts, from the East wall of the Great Hell, the blazing flames were blown up to the Western wall. Flames burning from the western wall were blown to the east wall. Flames burning from the north wall were blown to the south wall. Flames burning from the southern wall were blown to the north wall. Flames burst from below, blown upwards. Flames burst from above, blowing downwards. The person here feels the sensation of pain, anguish, fierce. But he cannot be destined to be common together until his negative karma has been eliminated.

The Male-stilts, then there is a very long time, when the East of Hell is opened. He ran in there very quickly and quickly. When he ran very fast and quickly, the outside skin was burnt, the inner skin was burnt, the flesh was burnt, the tendon was burnt, the bones were black smoke. That person's escape is like that. The Male-stilts, even though he tries very hard, the door is still closed against him. Here he feels the sensation of pain, anguish, fierce. But he cannot be destined to be common together until his negative karma has been eliminated.

Then, monks, there was a very long time when the west door was opened ... the north door was opened ... the south door was opened. He immediately ran into it very quickly and quickly. When he ran very fast and quickly, the outside skin was burnt, the inner skin was burnt, the flesh was burnt, the tendon was burnt, the bones were black smoke. That person's escape is like that. The Male-stilts, although he has tried a lot, the door is still closed against him. Here he feels the sensation of pain, anguish, fierce. But he cannot be destined to be common together until his negative karma is eliminated.

Then the Male-stilts, a very long time, when the East door is opened, he immediately ran into it very quickly and quickly ... his escape was like that. He went out of that Hell door.

But the Male-stilts, close to the Great Hell is Ðại Polluted with Hell (Guthaniraya). He fell into this Hell. The Male-stilts, In chalk Hell, that beings with mouth like a needle cut off the skin; after cutting off the outer skin, they cut off the inner skin; after cutting off the inner skin, they cut off the flesh; after cutting the flesh, they cut off the tendon; after cutting off the tendon, they cut the bone; after bone fracture, they cut bone marrow. Here, he feels the sensation of pain, anguish, fierce. But he cannot be destined to be common together until his negative karma has been eliminated.

But the Male-stilts, close to the Great Hell Chalk enchanted that it is Great hell heat (Coal - Kukkulaniraya). He fell in there. There, he sensed feelings of pain, anguish, fierce. But he cannot be destined together until his negative karma has been eliminated.

But the Male-stilts, close to the Great Hell Heat revival is the Great Life Forest (Sambalivanam) high a week, with thorns sixteen fingers long, burning red, burning into tops, burning red. They forced him to climb up and down. There, he sensed feelings of pain, anguish, fierce. But he cannot be destined to be joint together until his negative karma has been eliminated.

But the Male-stilts, close to Dai Cham Forest Life is Dai Dai Diep Lam (Sword Leaf Forest - Asipattavanta). He went in there. There, the leaves, which were moved by the wind, cut off his hand, cut off his leg, cut off his limbs, cut off his ears, cut off his nose, cut off his nose. Here, he feels painful sensations, anguish, fierce. But he cannot have life together until his negative karma has been eliminated.

But the Male-stilts, near Dai Dai Diep Lam is Dai Khoi Ha (Limestone River - Kharodakanadi). He fell in there. There, he was drifting along with the current, he was drifting backwards with the stream, he was drifting along, against the water. There, he sensed feelings of pain, anguish and fierce. But he can not par common, until his negative karma has not been eliminated.

Then the Male-stilts, who watched over Hell, hooked him up with a hook, put him on the ground and said to him, "Hey, That, what do you want?" He said, "Sirs, I'm hungry." Then the Male-stilts, the Hell keep watchers take the red iron pile pry at his mouth and stuffed into his mouth the burnt copper, burning red, burning into tops, burning red. His lips were burnt, his mouth was on fire, his throat was on fire, his chest was on fire. And pulled along a large intestine, small intestine, the lumps fell out from below. There, he sensed feelings of pain, anguish, fierce. But he cannot have life together, until his negative karma has not been eliminated.

Then the monks, the hell keepers said to him, "Hey that person, what do you want?" He said, "Sirs, I'm thirsty." Then the Male-stilts, the Hell keep watchers take out the burning iron stake pry his mouth out, and pour into his mouth the boiling water, burning red, burning into tops, burning red. His lips were burnt, his mouth was on fire, his throat was on fire, his chest was on fire. And drag along the big intestine, the small intestine, the boiling copper that flows out from the bottom. He was there feeling sensations of pain, anguish, fierce. But he cannot have life together until his negative karma has been eliminated.

Then the Male-stilts, the hell keep watchers toss him into the hell realms.

A very old time, the Male-stilts, King Yama thought as follows: "Those who do bad karma in life, must receive such other wrong punishments. Hope that we can be human, and Tathagata, steps, A-la-Han, the Chief Justice of Enlightenment appears in life, and we can serve World Religion, and World Religion preach to us, and we can understand the teachings of the Buddha. "

The Male-stilts, what I'm saying is not heard from a Sa-keeper or Ba-la-other subjects; But what I am saying is only known by me, only seen by me, only understood by me.

World Religion preached like that. After the vow to say so, the Ethic Master again added the following:

Despite the alarm of the Angel, the Youth are still distracted,
They are sad and sad for a long time,
Born to be paralyzed.
Here the Noble Truth,
Alarmed by Angels,
Never distracted,
In the holy Dharma.
Fear in grasping,
In being samsara.
Being freed of clinging, Being
born is eradicated,
Being peaceful and peaceful,
Right now in the pure state,
All resentment of fear and fear,
Those who pass,
All suffering and sorrow,
They are transcended. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.12/3/2020.
