So when did his life begin?

In fact, from the beginningless time before the Bodhisattva made a vow to become a Buddha of Samyaksambuddha, it is not clear whether his beginning life. When the Bodhisattva made a vow to become an Enlightened Buddha, whose wisdom was superior to faith and diligence, he went through countless lives and deaths in order to complete the thirty-three paramitas. hoping to attain the attainment of the Buddha, whose perfect wisdom, during a period equal to half the time of the Bodhisattva Dharma Bodhisattva, having superior faith, and by a quarter of the time of the Bodhisattva Dang Giac has excellent effort.

* Early stage:  The Bodhisattva vows in his heart to become a Buddha of Samyaksambuddha, so that he can save sentient beings from the sea of ​​samsara in three precepts of the four species, spanning through seven a-monks -period as follows:

In total in 7 a-period-period 125,000 Buddha Right Enlightenment Buddha appeared sequentially on the world.

When the Bodhisattva practices of the Bodhisattva had the capacity to progress to the middle period.

* The middle period: The Bodhisattva makes a vow in words to sentient beings to know his wishes to become a Buddha of the Right Enlightenment, to be kind, to save sentient beings from the sea of ​​suffering in samsara four species, going through 9 stages as follows: 

Sabbabhadda asaṅkhyeyya : There are 5,000 Samyaksambuddha Buddha sequentially appearing on the earth.

Although they have created the paramitas, they have gone through these two periods, but because the Bodhisattva has not been registered by a Buddha, the Buddha, for the remaining time, will become the Buddha, the Buddha of enlightenment. He is still an  uncertain Bodhisattva  ( aniyatabodhisatta ) which means that the Bodhisattva can still give up, giving up the wish to become the Buddha of the Enlightened One who only wants to become the Buddha of Pratyekabuddha or the Noble Thanh Thanh Giac.

If the Bodhisattva has an unwavering determination, wishes to become a Buddha of the Right Enlightenment, and continues to create 30 dharmas, he will progress to the end.

* The last period:  The Bodhisattva Buddha signed by the Samyaksambuddha determines the remaining time, surely becoming the Buddha of the Samyaksambuddha in the future.

The previous Buddha Bodhisattva of Gotama Buddha,  the Sumedha Taoist,  attained  eight levels of meditation :  four levels of materiality and four forms of formless meditation; attained the five senses :  Godsuspension, eyesight, atrium, tha mind information, sufficiency network  (belonging to the three realms). One day,  the Bodhisattva Sumedha Bodhisattva  traveled in the air, seeing the people of Rammavatī happily repairing the road. Wanting to know what causes people to work so happily, the Taoist replied and asked:

- Ladies and gentlemen, who have you renovated this road to let anyone go, and found that people were so happy?

-Dear Sir Sumedha, Buddha Dīpaṅkara most noble of the world of sentient beings have appeared in the world. We are preparing this road to receive the Buddha Dīpaṅkara and the 400,000 Arahans who will come here .

Bodhisattva Taoist Sumedha  has just listened to the word " Buddha " ( Buddha ), the mind is extremely happy, thinking: " Buddha appearing on the earth is a rare, extremely rare thing. We should try to sow goodness, create good conditions in the Buddha ”.

The Bodhisattva Taoist told the people,

- Ladies and gentlemen, people repaired this road to welcome Buddha Dīpaṅkara and 400,000 Saints of Arahán to come; I would like to give you a part of the way to be a monk, so that they can repair and welcome the Buddha and the Saints Arahán.

People knew that the Taoist had a lot of magical power, so they showed the Taoist the most difficult muddy path. The Taoist thought:

“If we use magical power to fix this road, it is too easy, there will not be much good. Therefore, we should use our own strength to correct, there will certainly be many immeasurable blessings ”.

The Bodhisattva uses his own strength, takes the land from other places to level the ground, the work of repairing the road is about one more stride is completed.

At that time, listening to the cheers and cheers to welcome the Buddha Dīpaṅkara and the 400,000 Saints of Arahán to come. Bodhisattva Sumedha decided, " Today I will offer my life to the Buddha Dīpaṅkara by lying on his stomach on the rest of the way. May this body plate be made as a bridge, to make offerings to the Buddha Dīpaṅkara and the 400,000 Arahán deities passing through. Certainly we will have the benefit, the evolution, the long-term peace . "

Bodhisattva Sumedha reflected that:

“ Today, if we abandon the desire to become the Buddha of the Enlightened One, then we will surely become an Arahant in the teaching of the Buddha Dīpaṅkara, and then he will pass away Nirvana and end samsaric existence. in the three realms alone we are; but still many other beings are still immersed in the sea of ​​samsara. We do not have to liberate suffering alone . "

Thinking so, with great compassion and compassion for sentient beings, the Bodhisattva Sumedha vowed that:

- "Buddho bodheyyaṃ ..." When we realize the truth of the Four Noble Truths by ourselves, realize the four Noble Paths, the Four Noble Truths and Nirvana, and become the Enlightened Buddha; then we will preach the teaching of sentient beings also realizing the truth of the Four Noble Truths, attaining the 4 Paths, the 4 Fruits and Nirvana, becoming therahant of Arahan according to us (self-awareness - sense of forgiveness).

- "Mutto moceyyaṃ ..." When we free ourselves from all the attachments of craving, negativity, realization of Nirvana already; then, we will lead sentient beings together from all the bondage of craving, defilement, realization of Nirvana according to us (auto-salvation).

- "Tinno tareyyaṃ ..." When we cross the sea of ​​samsaric suffering, we reach nirvana at peace already; then, we will save, guide sentient beings across the sea of ​​birth and death, reincarnation, attain nirvana happily follow us (self-originality - originality).

Meanwhile there is a Brahmin female named  Sumittā [1] holding 8 lotus flowers to worship Buddha D cúngpaṅkara, seeing the Sumedha Taoist lying on his stomach, using his body as a bridge on the way, she immediately generated pure faith, offering to the Taoist 5 the lotus, the remaining 3 lotus flowers, she offered to the Buddha. The Taoist Sumedha lay on his stomach, holding five lotus flowers on his forehead and offered to the Buddha. At that time, the Buddha Dīpaṅkara and the 400 thousand Saints of Arahán dwelled by passing miracles gently on the body of the Taoist Sumedha; so, the Bodhisattva's life is safe, unharmed.

Usually the Buddha, the Right Enlightenment, only signs for the first time the Bodhisattva has the following 8 conditions:

1- Being a real human being (not a Dragon King or a deity transformed into a human ). 

2- Being a real man  ( not a macho ).

3-present life is full of dharma, can attain 4 Saints, 4 Saints and Nirvana become Saint Arahán . 

4-Directly to Buddha Chief Justice of the Enlightenment .

5 - Is a monk who has the right view on karma .

6-Achieve full 4 levels of meditation and 4 excellent colorless meditation, attained the five senses .

7- Decided to offer life to the Buddha .

8. There is a firm will, not to be discouraged, determined to become Buddha of the Right Enlightenment .

The Buddha Dīpaṅkara,  who stood above the head of the Bodhisattva Sumedha, contemplated whether  or not the Sumedha Taoist Buddha's wish to become the Buddha of Enlightenment  was accomplished or not. With clear wisdom, knowing clearly in the future life (anāgataṃsañāṇa), this Taoist Bodhisattva will certainly achieve as he wishes, so the Buddha Dīpaṅkara will sign the remaining time that:

" In the future, there will be 4 a-rising-period and 100 thousand more earthly life again, this Sumedha Taoist will become Lord of the Enlightened Buddha, whose name is Gotama Buddha ."

Dīpaṅkara Buddha  was the first Buddha to be enlightened to sign  the Bodhisattva Sumedha , the previous life of Gotama Buddha.

Sumedha Bodhisattva  naturally becomes a  fixed Bodhisattva  ( niyatabodhisatta ) which will surely become the Buddha of Enlightenment in the future. When listening to Dīpaṅkara's memoirs, the Bodhisattva generated a very good heart of joy. All humankind, gods and celestial beings joyfully join hands to worship the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, praising that:

" The Sumedha monk will certainly become the seed of becoming Buddha Samyaksambuddha in the future ."

Since then, the Bodhisattva's previous life of Buddha Gotama has been constantly diligently fostering all 30 dharma teachings in the remaining 4 a-stage period and 100,000 thousand lifetimes of the earth.

4 a-sang-period and 100 thousand earthly life eons:  [2]

* 4 a-increase-period [3]

First A-Increase : From  the Buddha Dīpaṅkara  to  the Buddha Koṇḍañña , the time spent under the first 1- Sangha called  Sela asaṅkhyeyya , only one  Buddha Koṇḍañña  appeared in the world.

Second A-raises : From  the Buddha Koṇḍañña  to  the Buddha Maṅgala , the time spent a second aha-monk called  Bhāsa asaṅkhyeyya , there are 4 Buddha are:  Buddha Maṅgala, Buddha Sumana, Germany Revata Buddha and Sobhita   Buddha  appear in the world sequentially.

Third Amen : From  the Buddha Mahala  to  Anomadassī  the time spent a third aha called  Jaya asaṅkhyeyya , there are 3 Buddha:  Anomadass Buddha, Paduma Buddha  and  Buddha Nārada  sequentially appeared on the earth.

Fourth A- Sangha : Since  the Buddha Anomadassī  to  the Buddha Padumutara  spent a fourth period of a fourth term called  Ruci asaṅkhyeyya , only one  Buddha Padumutara  appeared in the world.

* 100 thousand lifetimes on earth

During the long period of 100,000 earthly lives, 14 Buddhas appeared in the world sequentially:  Sumedha Buddha, Sujāta Buddha, Piyadassī Buddha, Atthadass Buddha, Dhammadassī Buddha, Siddhattha Buddha, Buddha Tissa, Buddha Phussa, Buddha Vipassī, Buddha Sikhī, Buddha Vessabhū, Buddha Kakusandha, Buddha Koagamana, Buddha Kassapa .

Whenever the Buddha appeared in the world, the previous Buddha Gotama's Bodhisattva Buddha came to serve that Buddha and was signed by him to determine the remaining time. The name is  Buddha Gotama .

The Bodhisattva's previous life of Gotama Buddha came to the penultimate rebirth as a male being named  Setaketu  in Tusita heaven; the fourth heaven in 6 heaven sex world.

Lord Bodhisattva Christmas

The four kings of heaven and the four heavenly kings, the king of Sakka and  the three gods of the three gods Venerable Vasavatti, the Heavenly Being and the Heavenly Realms, and the Heavenly Realms, and the Heavenly Realms, and the Heavenly Realms, and the Heavenly Land, and the Heavenly Realms, and the Heavenly Yard, the Bodhisattva, Setaketu,

- Dear German Bodhisattva male Setaketu male , He has created a complete and complete Dharma three perfections. The dharmas were not to expect the throne of the heavenly kings, nor to expect to be reborn as gods, nor to the throne of the Holy King Who Turned the Wheel; but the truth is that the three paramitas are to support him to attain the attainment of the Buddha, the Samyaksambuddha, in order to preach the sentient beings' liberation from the suffering of samsara and samsaric rebirth in the three precepts of the four species. 

Dear male Bodhisattva, now is the right time, the right time, for Him to become a Buddha of the Right Enlightenment.

Dear the male Bodhisattva, all of us respectfully invite you to be reborn as a human being, to become a Buddha of the Right Enlightenment, to preach the sacrifice of sentient beings liberated from the suffering of samsara species .

Listening to the requests of the devas, the Southern Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, Setaketu, has not yet accepted the request, which he contemplates in the past: " The last bodhisattvas are reborn as humans, to become German Buddha Right Enlightenment, how to contemplate?

Contemplating 5 things before rebirth [4].

As usual, the Bodhisattvas of the last life will be reborn as human beings to become the Buddha of the Right Enlightenment, and need to fully consider the following 5 things:

1- Contemplating the period of human life : Bodhisattva Setaketu contemplates that the life expectancy of people at that time is about 100 years, suitable for the Buddha of the Right Enlightenment with superior wisdom.

2-Consistent consideration of Europe to reincarnate : Among the 4 human continents, the Southern realm of the Southern region is the place where the Bodhisattva's last incarnation was reborn to become the Buddha of the Right Enlightenment.

3-Consistent review of the country to rebirth : In the vast Nam Thien Bo Chau realm, the last-born Bodhisattva was reborn in the Central Region of the Sakka area of ​​Kapilavatthu.

4 - Contemplating the family line of rebirth : The Bodhisattva's last rebirth in the Sakya clan, King Suddhodana undergoes many pure kings of life (not to be confused with the other lineage).

5- Contemplating her mother and longevity : Ms. Mahāmayādevī chief palace Queen of King Suddhodana is a person with clean morality. She used to create the dharmapala-dharma dharma during 100 thousand lifetimes and was signed by the Buddha, the Right Enlightened Buddha, in the past, saying, " She will be the Mother of Buddha in the future ." The main palace Queen has a life expectancy of exactly 10 days 7 days. Bodhisattva last life chose Ms. Mahāmayādevī as his mother.

After reviewing all 5 things, the Bodhisattva Thien Setaketu male decided to be reborn as a human being to become Buddha of the Right Enlightenment.

The Bodhisattva Thien male Setaketu taught that:

" Gods, gods, I agree to your requests. I will be reborn as a human in the Southern realm of the Southern region, of the Middle, the capital of Kapilavatthu, in the Sakya king, King Suddhodana is the father and Mrs. Mahāmayādevī - the royal palace of King Suddhodana, as my mother. ”.

After listening to the teachings of the male Bodhisattva male Setaketu, all the devas and devas greatly rejoice together praising the male Bodhisattva of southern Setaketu, and together ask permission to return to the realm of yourself. The gods and the gods announce to all the world sentient beings: " The Buddha will appear in the world! ”

The Bodhisattva Karma Is Reincarnated

The male Bodhisattva male Setaketu  decided to give up his male life in heaven  Tusita  ( Da Sua ) will be reborn in the  form of his mother  Mahāmayādevī  - the royal palace of King Suddhodana, the capital city of Kapilavatthu on the  fifth day. , on the full moon day of the sixth month of the last month .

On the full moon day of the sixth lunar month (lunar calendar),  King Mahāmayādevī  of King Suddhodana came to  Kāḷadevila to  ask for  uposathasīla  (the eight precepts ). At the end of that night, before the Bodhisattva was reborn into Mahāmayādevī, she dreamed that the Four Great Heavenly Kings bowed to her on Mount  Himavanta , laying her on a large rock near Lake  Anotatta . After that, there were 4 Queen's chief palace of the Four Great Heavenly Kings and the goddesses came to wash her clean, rub the fragrant things of heaven, offered the beautiful sky flowers, and then took her to a mountain. In silver, there was a magnificent golden castle and laid her on her right side to rest there. At that time, a  noble white statue  appears to the golden castle where she is resting. The white angel walked around where she lay three times, then went to her right hip.

When  Mahāmayādevī  was dreaming, it was also the time when  the male Bodhisattva male Setaketu  gave up the male celestial life in Tusita heaven   ( Da Tu Du ), and at the same time with the  first great result of  mind  (the first great result of mind wisdom born with Hy, without mobilization ) do the part of rebirth reincarnation into the mother Mahāmayādevī, aimed at  the last Thursday of the full moon night  of June  (lunar calendar). At that time, the main palace Queen Mahāmayādevī had a life expectancy of 55 years 6 months and 20 days [5]. At that moment, the earth shuddered and there were 32 phenomena that had never happened before; gods, Brahma in the ten thousand worldly beings extremely happy to announce the good news: " The Bodhisattva has been reborn! ”

The chief palace Queen Mahāmayādevī experienced a good dream and after waking up, she went to see King Suddhodana and reported to the king about her dream.

 Early the next morning, King Suddhodana commanded the Brahmin Army group to attend the audience. After the treat and reward was completed, the King reported the last night's dream of the palace of Queen Mahāmayādevī to the Brahmin army group to hear and guess together.

The king asked, saying:

- Sir, what does such a dream mean? May I have a good time, Lord.

A Brahmin chief said,

-Want to my Lord, please be assured, the Queen's palace has conceived, the fetus is not a Princess but is definitely the Crown Prince, the highest being .

If the Crown Prince lived during the reign, it would be that the Holy King Who Turns into the Emperor had four seas as the boundary.

If the Crown Prince leaves his home to become a monk, then he will be the most noble Buddha, the Noble Enlightened One, in the whole world of sentient beings .

Since the Bodhisattva's last rebirth reincarnated into the womb, due to the mighty force of the Bodhisattva, day and night the Four Great Heavenly Kings follow, to show reverence; not according to the maintenance of Chief Justice Queen Mahāmayādevī; Because, the last Bodhisattva has extraordinary power, no one can harm her.

Mother of the Bodhisattva has a natural virtue, she does not have to come to the student of the Master Kāḷadevila, to apply for the ordination as before; Her body and mind were often peaceful. The craving for sensual pleasures did not arise and when King Suddhodana saw her, she developed pure kindness, so the King respected her very much.

The Bodhisattva develops and grows in the womb, as if in a clean and luxurious room. The Bodhisattva sits cross-legged like a shaman sitting on a throne, until he has reached 10 months in full.

Germany Bodhisattva Karma Charred Birth

She attended the palace, Queen Mahāmayādev gần, knew that nearing the date of the birth of the Crown Prince, she came to adoration of King Suddhodana and said,

- My Majesty, Your Majesty, I have the permission to return to Devadaha to give birth to the Crown Prince .

The king made her request and commanded the officials to repair the beautiful, well-decorated roads from Kapilavatthu to Devadaha, to perform the ceremony to see off the palace of Queen Mahāmayādevī; The king also commanded a new luxury palanquin to let her dwell.

Everything was prepared, the chief palace Queen Mahāmayādevī was invited to aboard the palanquin, the officials carried the palanquin from the capital of Kapilavatthu to the city of Devadaha. On the way, when the crowd arrived at Lumbīnī garden, that day, it was wonderful! All flowers bloom and all the birds sing as they rejoice to celebrate a great event. Chief Justice Queen Mahāmayādevī wanted to stop the palanquin, stop at Lumbīnī garden, to visit. The officials obeyed the palanquin order.

When the main palace Queen Mahāmayādevī dwells in the garden of Lumbīnī, that day the gods and the celestial beings gathered in the garden, and thousands of worlds of sentient beings cheered:

" Today, in this Lumbīnī garden, the Bodhisattva will be born from the heart of Queen Mahāmayādevī ."

Gods, gods, holding gifts from heaven like heavenly aromatic things, flowers of heaven, heavenly music rising to make offerings to the Bodhisattva with white parasols covering the space.

The main palace Queen Mahāmayādevī dwells to a Sālā tree with a large trunk, branches full of flowers in full bloom. When she stood up with her right arm up, the branches naturally swooped down, and she reached for the tree in a very beautiful and firm posture, the officials and the palace ladies covering the curtains around where she stood. ; at that time,  the noble Bodhisattva was born from the heart of the main palace Queen Mahāmayādevī with his feet first, then swept his hands, his whole body clean back, smoothly and smoothly for both Bodhisattva and his mother. Meanwhile, in the daytime by  day 6, to the fifteenth day of April ( lunar ). At that time, a stream of warm water and a stream of cold water poured down from the sky to cleanse the body of the Bodhisattva and his mother.  

When the noble Bodhisattva had just come out of the heart of the royal palace Queen Mahā-mayādevī, first of all the four Great Brahma Thiens, who were clean, unpolluted by defilements, each held each cross with a golden net. received the Bodhisattva finished, then placed in front of the Chief Justice Queen Mahāmayādevī and said:

- Want to get into the palace of the Queen, please give joy and joy to her! This is her Crown Prince, also the last great Bodhisattva. He is the Great One, having the most force of all living beings in the three realms .

After that, the Bodhisattva from the hands of four great Brahmin were given to the four Great Four Kings to receive soft leather; once again, the Bodhisattva from the hands of the four Great Kings was handed over to the officials by a pure white cloth.

At that time, the Bodhisattva walked from the hands of the mandarins, stepped down and stepped on the ground with his flat feet, and the Bodhisattva stood and turned to face the East, the gods offered flowers to the Bodhisattva, and spread Yang praised that:

- Dear Sir, in all sentient beings in this direction, you are the highest being, there is no one more noble than you .

Next, the Bodhisattva turned to face south ... west ... north ... southeast ... southwest ... southwest ... northeast ... in eight directions, In every direction the gods and mankind offered flowers to the Bodhisattva and praised:

- Dear Sir, in all sentient beings in this direction, you are the highest being, there is no one more noble than you .

The Bodhisattva looks downwards, then looks upwards, the gods and the devas all offer flowers of praise and praise:

- Dear Venerable Lord, among the celestial beings, the celestial beings in this direction, you are the highest being, there are no gods, the celestial beings are more noble than you .

Bodhisattva stood looking north and then walked 7 steps, the first step he walked with his right foot [6]. When the Bodhisattva walked, the celestial King held a white parasol to cover for Him, the King Suyāma held a feather fan, and the other 3 were a pair of hia, a precious sword, a crown, and each of the Heavenly Kings held everything. after the Bodhisattva. Those are 5 treasures of the king's ceremony.

The Bodhisattva stopped at the 7th step. Then all the devas and devas told each other that:

" Now the noble Bodhisattva will teach the most important words ."

All were silent, waiting to listen, the Bodhisattva profusely taught that:

“ Ago ¢ ham ¢ asmi lokassa!
Jeṭṭho ¢ ham ¢ asmi lokassa!
Seṭṭho ¢ ham ¢ asmi lokassa!
Ayamantimā jāti
Natthi dāni punabbhavo ”.

“ I am the Most High One, in the whole world of sentient beings!
I am the Greatest One, in the whole world of sentient beings!
I am the highest being, in the whole world of sentient beings!
This life is my last life
I have no rebirth any more! "

The devas, the devas and the humankind are extremely happy, praising the Bodhisattva in unison.

Bodhisattva Prince Siddhattha in the last life will surely become the Buddha of the Right Enlightenment. When he was born, there were 32 major generals of the Great King and 80 good generals. It is the fruit of the good karma that the Bodhisattva has created and accumulated from countless past lives, completely unrelated to the blood of King Suddhodana and the royal palace Mahāmayādevī or the Sakya lineage.

[3] Asaṅkhyeyya: Amharic has 4 types:

1) Gaịana asaṅkhyeyya: A-digit period is the number 1 followed by 140 zeros (zero), abbreviated: 10 ¹⁴⁰ .

2) Anumāṅna asaṅkhyeyya: An increase of estimation. For example: It rains all over the ground for 3 days, estimating a-periodic number of raindrops on the ground.

 3) Kappa asaṅkhyeyya: There are 4 types of kappa

- ukyukappa: Longevity.
- Antarakappa: The life span decreases to 10 years and lifetimes increase to a-increase-period.
- Asaṅkhyeyya kappa: A-rising-period eons of earth then become corrupted.
- Mahākappa: The life of the earth goes through 4 periods: a-rising-period destroying the earth-life-a-rising-period without the earth-life-period-a-rising-period after becoming the earth-life-period-a-rising-period-period Earth.

4) Buddha asaṅkhyeyya: A-ra-period of time to create the three perfections to become Buddha Samyaksambuddha cannot be counted in quantity. Time spent countless great earth-wall-ruin-life can not be calculated, so called Buddha asaíkhyeyya.

For example,  the Bodhisattva Sumedha Bodhisattva needs to cultivate another 30 dharmas (dhammas) throughout the four a-stage period and 100,000 thousand lifetimes of the earth to become Gotama Buddha .
