So in the evening, the Buddha and the Bhikkhu-khưu arrived at the intended place . The moon had just risen, the mist was silver, the space was like a thin silk screen. The sky and the sky were as clean as not contaminated with a little dust , perhaps due to the presence of a transcendent personality ? That lets nature and supernatural answer . While everyone felt that there was something strange about it, it was outside the brain cell and the thinking mind.
After some back and forth to breathe the fresh air, the Buddha told Venerable Ānanda prepare a place located between the majestic Sala tree. He was taken sweeping foliage around two tree, folded sheet-old Chile increased two, false religions choose instruction and stretches as far as the human body. The Blessed One lay down in an inclined position to the right shoulder, head facing north, face facing west, back to the east and legs stretching to the south. Chu Bhikkhu-khưu several hundred position, then scattered scattered throughout the forest, surrounded by Germany World Religion . The Buddha closest to the venerable andananda, Upāli, Anuruddha, Mahā Cunda, Upavāna ... And you The elders all know that the Blessed One chose this place, between these two sālā trees, and right tonight, the Chief Justice of the Enlightened One will be Nirvana.
Both Sala trees also become taciturn, apparently they also felt the moment sacred , solemn . Then suddenly , there was something shuddering in motion and there was something supernatural in effect that the whole sālā forest suddenly blossomed out of season , each bud, each branch extended, full of stem, full of body, blooming flower, sweet asphyxiation. incense. A moment later, the petals fell on the robes of the Buddha and lightly covered his body. Hundreds of Bhikkhu-khưu bewildered watching flowers fall, full of people, full of forest. Moments later, the sky music chirped, soaring like thousands of tunes and chords from nowhere pouring down. There is a strange kind of flower colorful, sparkling colors, each drive, each drive, gently flew among the trees and as simultaneously wraps around the seat of virtue lies Teacher . And then, the incense powder does not know from where, sparkling aromatic gold dust also fell, scattered gold everywhere ... It seems that people, heaven, nature , everyone wants to make offerings to the Buddha in the solemn hour this sacred ...
The venerable Anuruddha suddenly voice say:
- The other music is theirs Càn-thát-she wants to offer the Buddha . Other sun flower named Mandarava (1) , as they are fond women of disasters all Sakka offerings ; Flock of incense and other flock of them are female yaksha of the Four Heavenly Kings, they seem ... So Brahma , Emperor Thich , Heavenly King , Four Great Heavenly Kings , they devas , can-thát-madam, yaksha ... and have already gathered to this forest - Venerable Guru
Buddha said:
- Yes, Tathagata saw it!
Venerable Ānanda felt:
- Oh! Floral magic , taste wonderful , heavenly music of dieudeu want offerings Buddha both!
Buddha said:
- Hey Ānanda! They make offerings according to their will, their preferences ; but so did not really know how to make offerings to the Tathagata where!
- Please Venerable Master, please let the disciple know deeply about respect? How is knowing how to make offerings , Bach The Ton?
-If any Bhikkhu-khưu, Bhikkhu-khưu-ni, near the south , near the female who know the achievements of the Dharma and depending on France, live righteous in the Dharma and practice right Dharma ; Doing so really respectfully , respectfully , know how to make offerings to the Tathagata . He must study the case, practice such and later also universal spacious for the four out how to donate right feet, the correct law and so, Ānanda!
Venerable Ānanda bowed slightly, noted .
Meanwhile , Venerable Upavana standing towards the front of the Buddha to him softly:
- Hey Upavana! He stood aside!
The venerable Ānanda heard it, thought in my heart: "Illustration is a holy Upavana outflows , previously many years as attendants quite attentive, devoted to Lord Guru! Do not know, Venerable stood aside as yet to be virtuous Guru rebuke : Stand aside !? I wonder if there's a cause, is there any charm ?! ”
Buddha read the mind, he smiled :
- Very crowded angels in the ten directions of the world gather to admire the Tathagata . Up to twelve due to weeks around Kusinara, Upavattana, Sala forest under hoMalla line, not a place, small to head a hair, a mustard seed without stand full of angels have power gathering . Some of the angels in the direction where the Bhikkhu-khưu Upavāna are standing, they complain : "We are from far away to contemplate the Blessed One . It is rare , you Tathagata, A-la-Han, Chief Justice Dang Giac appear in life; And tonight, in the last soup , the Buddha will die . But now, the Bhikkhu-khưu force dread (because he has attained four saints ) this stand in front of the Blessed One , making us unable to admire him in the last moment. " This is cause, it is predestined, Ānanda!
-So the gods do any class that is so mundane that "complain" like that, Lord Guru?
- It is true that the gods have a mind of the mundane . And there are also gods in the middle of nowhere , on earth there are many more ordinary minds . These men crying, with the first offset tangled hair, with his arms stretched high, body tonic leaning, rolling back and forth: "Bhagavan passed away too soon, Auspicious passed away too soon, so that the eyes measures disappear between The world is dark ! ”
- Are there any gods who do not complain , do not weep for sorrow , Lord Guru!
- Yes, and there are many! Do these people have to relieve, empty away, killing three, killing four parts ignorance and craving - they know the shop like real generals : "The issue is impermanent , how the combination compounded could It can't be helped! ” They wonder so, that in fact they were the same.
- What a miracle , Venerable Guru!
Meditating for a moment, the venerable replied,
- In the past , after each season of settling , monks came to visit World Religion . Among them there are even the elders , college elders to work from set firmly ; solid Vetri Property, firmly on meditation , firmly in contentment know enough, solid of Kabbalah , a firm of maintenance law , a firm of business law ... Now Bhagavan death Then, students no longer have the opportunity to guide them, socialize with them, close to them to learn , to respect , to respect the great faith, great mind, the great wisdom anymore!
- You still have it, Ānanda! He respectfully , respect the treasury of economic texts in the mind, plus his office, the architecture of that thinking that has, contemplation that has, that monitoring that, there that!
Reverend bowed his head and said,
- That's the disadvantage small, character individuals , also a disadvantage greater, as the European Yan-line-this, when Bhagavan passing then, no longer where is the place for the gods , humanity , Four of them reverence , pay homage , admire and make offerings , Bach World Religion!
- It's still there, it's there, hey Ānanda! Is the remaining four divine relics . The "Tathagata birth" is a relic . The spot "Tathagata realized under the Bodhi tree" is a relic . The place "Tathagata transforms the law at Deer Park" is a relic . This " Tathagata extermination between two sālā trees" is a relic .
Later, those who in time come pilgrims worship the four relics that the mat credits, with interest joy - but from the ceiling, which vent the breath - he does, he will be turned born into realms of good fun , realm of gods instantly. Isn't that the ultimate benefit for beings , Ānanda!
Apparently concerned that no opportunity to learn more, false religions to said next:
- We disciples will handle themselves relics of Lord Teacher like?
-You guys do not worry , mind about the relics of Tathagata! As a monk, a lay-monhuu study, each person yourself effort , diligent self- salvation himself, living without distraction , diligently on the path of enlightenment , liberation - there is a purpose crucial and ultimate . There are scholars close-imperial-town, the scholar Brahmin, the scholar homeowners convinced Jewels , these people they will worry about itself thoughtful relics of Tathagata.
- What about the golden body of the Blessed One now , what should the disciples do?
The Buddha had to graciously explain :
- Conduct yourself cakkavatti how, please behave yourself Tathagata so.
-So how "the legal body" of the Holy King Turns that monk , Bach World Religion!
- According to ancient rules from ancient times, the body of the Holy King Turned round was questioned by five hundred layers of precious cloth, aromatic litchi of all kinds . Then placed in an iron oil chest, this iron chest was closed by another iron chest. A pyre of all kinds of incense was built , the body of Zhuan Falun was burned. And at the crossroads, his stupa was built to honor the relics of the people to worship , reverence and offerings . This is the "method of burying the body" of the Holy King Who Turns the Wheel remains in history.
So, the body of the Tathagata should do the same. And the latter, who brought flowers, wreaths , incense , all kinds of flavors to make offerings , pay homage to the stupa and centered conviction and joy , then these people will benefit , happy long, Ānanda !
- So those who in this world are honored to build stupas to respect the world reverence , worship , offerings , Bach The Ton!
- Only four classes of people are allowed to build stupas . Buddha Right Enlightenment is one. Monopoly Buddha is two. Buddha Thanh Van Giac is three. Lord Zhuan Falun is four, hey andananda!
- For what reason, what causes, what conditions are the four of which built the stupa and the others, Bach The Ton?
- Because they have great merit to the world . And for those who, later, reverence , worship , make offerings to the stupa with deep faith , rejoicing , they will be happy, long-term benefit . This is cause, it is predestined, Ānanda!
Ask important questions is finished on the back of the Buddha , Venerable Ānanda far out of sight out, quietly crying, thinking that self-pity: "I am still who Organic school , also must lotu training. Now the Guru is about to perish , who else in this world loves me anymore! ”
Seeing andananda absent for a long time, the Buddha asked:
- Where did Mr. andananda go?
Venerable Anuruddha answered :
-The self-pity, standing crying, Bach Su .
The Buddha called again and taught:
- Tathagata said at the temple of Cāpāla, that "there cannot be an event , an existential existence, residency, possession , and disappearance without destroying". So, there is no use in sorrow , crying, and compassion, not going against the law of compounding - tell Tathagata to see?
- The disciple knows but is still sad!
- Before and after he also joined the Immortal Order , because his merit is too great, it will gather a great power to transfer you into that line!
- Disciple self review has merit any where interior still movement goes emotion , not self chuduoc.
Buddha warmly said:
- For a long time, he was to Tathagata , with a friendly body full of compassion, benefit , peace , one of a kind; immeasurably with the karma full of loving-kindness, benefits , peacefulness , one of a kind; immeasurable with the karma full of love, benefits , peace , one of a kind. The composition of that great virtue, why is it called without merit? Stop being humble! Don't pity yourself! Please try diligently up, he will witness invisible ranks , a short time more!
Then World Religion said to the masses :
- The A-la-Han, the Chief Justice of the Enlightenment in the past or the future - those World Religion have the supreme attendant like andananda of Tathagata today.
Why is it called dark attendant ? Bhikkhu-khưu market attendant victory is the position and understand : Now is the right time for this Bhikkhu-khưu-Bhikkhu-khưu-ni, this position to the south , the position of this female, this king , this chief official , this owner , this pagan leader ... witnessed the Tathagata!
And in addition , the Bhikkhu-khưu attendant like andananda also attracts them by his strange ability. This is when a Bhikkhu-khưu, a Bhikkhu-ni-ni, a male servant , a female servant ... are allowed to watch andananda, listen to andananda sermon - they are all very happy, happy , radiant face. If he met andananda, he had an audience with andananda but andananda was silent, did not say anything, and the dharma did not speak, they were very sad, disappointment was clearly shown on each face. It is not magic , strange, bizarre of taste This dark attendant or what?
There was a lot of funny laughter spreading between the trees. And the Venerable Ānanda of us , nhonang amount of cool , no messing around impact , should have felt the body and mind relaxed .
False religion turned to a request :
- World Religion should not kill in this small, desolate and deserted metropolis . There are other larger places like Campā (Chiêm-bà), Rājagaha ( Vương Xá ), Sāvatthi (Xa-defense), Sāketa (Sa-ky), Kosambī (Kiều-Bonus-di), Bārāṇasī (Ba-la- complaint) - are the capital, crowded cities, rich , prosperous . At that place, there is mass police-imperial-town, with mass Brahmin, with mass homeowners are convinced Jewels , you will worship the relics duongthan Tathagata .
- Don't say that, Ānanda! Do not say that this city is small, desolate , deserted. Oldtimer have king named Mahā Sudassana ( Dai Thien Kien ), is a virtue Dharmaraja , is the dharma , reigned as legal , ruler of four galaxy , conquering , households triquoc people, fully seven treasures . Also here, in Kusinārā this is the capital of King Mahā Sudassana, with the name Kusāvatī (Sentence-amnesty-grandmother); east and west wide to twelve by week , north and south wide to seven by week . This capital Kusāvatī is very prosperous , prosperous , populous, people fullness , food plentiful - no less than the city's Alakamanda gods where. Throughout the day, throughout the night, this capital of Kusāvatī, resounding nine kinds of languages: The sound of elephants, horses, cars, big drums, small drums, cries of the lady , singing, creaking, bells . And tenth hours laloi invite people and friends around : "Drink, eat away" from anybody to pride, because everyone fullness fortune, as the food!
Speaking of which, the Buddha lowered his voice:
- Do you know who the king named Mahā Sudassana ( Dai Thien Kien ) is? He himself is a precursor to the Tathagata so. The reason Tathagata choose passing here, left a lesson in survival , rise and fall of compounded law , the legal world again there. An enlightened being , descended , must endure all through, contemplate all, and finally , renounce all!
Seeing the mass of silence, it seemed that the audience recited the lesson, the Buddha continued:
- Hey Ānanda! It was shining on the moon, and he and some bhikkhus went to Kusinārā, informed the Mallā people, saying that tonight, on the third watch, the Tathagata would destroy sālā forest in the east, adjacent to the border. city. He just said that. As for everything else, save it for the Vāseṭṭhā! (first)
Not long after, groups of people, groups of people, with torches stretching on the roads going to the forest of sālā. Some of them wept melancholy , mourning with speechless emotions. Some are quiet , quiet, but their gait does not seem to be in control of their emotions . And everyone wants to pay homage to virtue Teacher last time.
Venerable Ānanda thought to himself: “If we let the Mallā people in Kusinārā pay homage to the Blessed One one by one, then it won't be done all night. We should let them pay homage to each family. ”
And indeed, according to that arrangement, around the beginning of the second watch, everyone was satisfied . Afterwards, few people left and most stayed, sitting full of places where they could sit.
However , that night there was still a pagan from afar, named Subhadda who insisted on meeting the Buddha for it. Afraid Buddha tired, Venerable Ānanda said small people sought to prevent .
Reading that Subhadda's mind was sincere , the Buddha told him to enter. And Subhadda's question is as follows:
- White World Religion! Currently all across Europe Yan-line-this, there are six denominations , all six vigiao fame and disciples of them are labored, instructors say everywhere. They are the Social, patriarch, chief church , have a good reputation , has fame , the founder sect , are the masses adored , admired as they Purana Kassapa, Makkhali Gosala, Ajita Kesakambali, Pakudha Kaccayana , Nigaṇṭha Nātaputta and Sañjaya Belaṭṭhiputta. I want to ask the Blessed One, who among them is who attains enlightenment, who is enlightened as they claim to be; or some of them were enlightened , attained Arahantship and others had not?
Buddha said:
- Come on, Subhadda! Put that issue aside as they are useless and frivolous . If he knows that, then the negativity and suffering in him still can not be solved, is that right?
- Bach, that's right!
- Now you listen and meditate carefully what Tathagata is about to say here! Simple things , but it is the heart of the path of escape from suffering.
- My Lord yes!
Knowing that the wandering monk was ready, the Buddha spoke of the most basic but also the most profound dharma . He did not preach high and long, but only briefly and simply. He did not mention hard soles , collective soles , anti soles saying only religion insole is road kill to take suffering dauphien brain - that is the Eightfold Path . He said that in the law and law that does not have the eightfold Path there is no first sa, Mon second sa, Mon third sa, Mon fourth sa. In contrast, the law and law do have the eightfold path , there are people practice of the Noble Eightfold Path , someone who attains the Noble Eightfold Path , the other four sa-subjects, is untold and cannot count them all. And you should note that the six denominations , the six cardinals that you have just named, in their ideological system , their laws and laws, have no eightfold Path , no knowledge of the eightfold Path . So attain , enlightenment , liberation , fruits Arhat or not he can answer is already!
Like an easily dyed white cloth, the Buddha 's brief Dharma moment instantly absorbed Subhadda's mind . How happy , how happy he was when he saw the path , he knelt down and asked the Buddha to be the Master . And he also wants to become a renunciate.
Buddha said:
- In the past, he lived and practiced religion . According to the law and the law of Tathagata - then his case , want to become a monk , want to receive a full ordination , he must live in isolation for four months, after that he will be considered by the Sangha .
- Disciple ready to stay four years, White World Religion!
- That's good! Now he is a lay white robes of the Tathagata then that. (first)
Subhadda is considered the last disciple of the Buddha .
In the air and the mountains are quiet, after the story of Subhadda, the Buddha looked at the sky:
- Now that we have a third watch, Tathagata is about to leave. So in the Bhikkhu-khưu anyone want to ask anything? If you have any questions, questions about laws or laws, this is the time to ask.
Seeing everyone's silence , he continued:
- If someone is shy to ask the Tathagata directly , can you ask a fellow accomplice to ask for it? If you don't ask, don't regret later . And if you don't ask, don't lament later: Oh, I don't have a guru , I can no longer listen to the guru's teaching !
The whole forest is silent.
Buddha said again:
- France and the law - Tathagata has hundreds of thousands of clever ways to teach, clever theory. As Laic also skillfully manipulated discourse, presentation, detailed analysis, thorough . Tomorrow, the law and that law are your teachers, their masters there!
See the strange silence of them monks, Venerable Ānanda uttered:
- How miraculous and rare , Bach The Ton! The disciple believes that among them, no one doubts , doubts , questions about the law and the law; Nor did anyone doubt , wonder, have any questions about Buddha , Dharma, or Sangha .
Buddha nodded , smiled :
- You are right! He and the public has confidence so right. He and the public did not wonder, doubt , wonder what is right. Why so? Because Tathagata has just turned the mind, and has seen clearly , hundreds of Bhikkhu-khưu today, in the forest of sālā, this fragrant flower blooms, the lowest one has also gone into the line, certainly no longer falling into four miserable paths, and in the latter, five and seventh lives , will set foot on the high hill of liberation and freedom .
Speaking of this, the Buddha corrected the lion's figure , his right hand made the pillow a little higher, sometimes his voice was very light:
- Hey Ānanda! He still lived for forty more years in the church , so later on, if he considered that there were any precepts that seemed too small and small, the Sangha could be removed, without affecting concentration and wisdom. Where to escape .
- Yes, Bach The Ton!
- Also, remember carefully, this is a message sent, advising to the post-graduate sa-subject: "The compounded vi is impermanent , be diligent , don't be distracted."
Those are the last words of the Guru .
Then Bhagavan mindfulness , dwell breath , immediately go into meditation . Export first meditation , into the second meditation . Recommended second meditation , into triangle meditation . Export of meditation , into the four meditation . Export jhana , in the not boundless land. Exported without boundless origin , into the infinite boundless origin . Exported from the infinite origin , into the infinite possession . Export countless parish property , in the non- ideal non non-ideal land. Export non-ideal non origin idea , to destroy life thought to ...
The venerable Ānanda attentively observe , to cross here, Venerable told Venerable Anuruddha:
- World Religion has already eliminated , fake religion .
- Not yet! World Religion has not killed . He just came to kill the life plan , this sage!
Then the Buddha made destroy the life thought , to non-ideal non originating the idea . Export of non-fiction non-ideal origin , down to the land of origin . Exported to own the land of origin , down to the infinite origin . Export boundless origin , down to nowhere boundless origin. Export nowhere infinite origin, down to jhana . Export jhana , down the triangle meditation . Export meditation , down to the second meditation . Recommended second meditation , down to meditation. Export meditation , up to the second meditation . Exported meditation, up to the third meditation . Export meditation , up to the four meditation . From the quarterfinals meditation intensive sautich wear, do not see a sign, like a passing breeze, disappear , he went on numerous outstanding medical or cessation Nirvana.
At that moment, the great earthquake , vibration , thunder and lightning electric shock, flower sālā suddenly fall full of soil, forest. The multi-literate bhikkhus have been told and said that this is an ominous sign when a Samyaksambuddha is gone, one of the eight causes, the eight conditions, the natural phenomenon associated with the law of mind. , the law .
Seeing how it is though , but when the Great Enlightenment is suddenly absent in the world, there are people who are shocked , bewildered, and people who are calm and calm are also common sense .
The great Brahmin Sahampati seemed to see the truth when he uttered a poem : "Beings are in life. Renounce themselves the aggregates . So is the Guru . The Wonderful One in the world. Dai Hung Giac Ngo Ngo. Tathagata has killed. "
As for the host, Sakka, is a holy disciple : "The onions are impermanent . There is birth to have to kill. Having been born, they must be destroyed. Photography is peaceful. ”
The Venerable Anuruddha is a smuggled saint : "No breathing in or out . Primary care resident concentration . No craving for peace . Sa-keeper driven to kill . Primary care continence estate . Rings bear all feelings . As if the light was off. The mind is completely liberated ”.
Venerable Ānanda just entered the line: "It was awful shocking . Really beard hair upside down. When the Almighty . Tier Enlightenment passed away . "
The whole forest of sālā, people, wind, twigs and leaves ... suddenly became flabby no longer quiet. Although many Bhikkhu-khưu have entered Liu but still flush emotions , can not master yourself. Some have shouted, shouted, everyone heard: “The sun is out of the moon . The eyes of the world are dark! ” Taste quietly het, muttering: "The two foremost gone, now back more Teacher go again, with the emptiness dreary any more circumstances today instead! Oh! so sad!"
The Venerable Anuruddha saw the forest as dyed in mourning, he stood up, spoke in a loud voice, advising everyone :
- Well, the fake sages approach the two rows! Don't be sad , don't cry. Do you not know, listen to the teachings of the Blessed One? And what is the last sentence of the Guru ? As "The compounded is impermanent , be diligent , don't be distracted." Do the sages still remember?
The audience obeyed , the scenery quiet and solemn again . The venerable Anuruddha was familiar with the work of the great exodus of the Venerable Sariputta the department should cut right place for your elders :
- Venerable Upali, and I will take turns preaching for the public to keep the purity vatrang strictly inside the needle body of Lord Guru . The religious author Ananda Upavana, Mahā Cunda then enters into Kusinara, informed widely for Malla clan is the Buddha had passed away Nirvana. Just notice so that the Vāseṭṭhā they know what to do.
Then things go on , time seems to stop. It was morning. In space quietness and woods Sala taciturn just heard promising approach the sound of delicate taste false religions like bells awakening for those who stay clear laws as the real reason for living dead, capacitors tan, born dietcua compounded France . Thousands of old and so too thousands later. And the Transcendent departed, having excelled in exile , as the smoke across the sky disappeared in the infinite space ; like wind through trees, melted into greenery, with no trace. Invisible , Resident wealth , unconditioned , is where countless artifacts on, is the resting place of absolute of the steps made ceilings are done every duty in the world . Voices , unmatched , irrational. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.23/5/2020.
