Buddha  taught the Dharma of  Nirvana in an  Immediately.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

 

It has to be  predestined for  many generations to be  the attendant  for  the Buddha . Attendant  was  the monk  lived near  Buddha  least, is the  disciple  be  trusted  to choose according to almost the  Buddha , to be zealous  practice  example for the  religious  other, and so to hear  the Buddha  preached  many the most. We  may believe that the  attendant  who is  always with  Buddha all  day must know a lot of dharma, both in theory and in practice. 

The  famous attendant   of  Buddha Shakyamuni  is Anan. However , before that there was another  attendant  : Mr. Meghiya. Where  he  attendant  Meghiya recounted in Beijing Ud 4.1 (Meghiya Sutta), Beijing is also doing preliminary time, when Ananda no  attendant . By the end of this sutta,  the Buddha  taught the  Nibbāna  immediately, right  now ,  liberating  right here and now. 

There are some special points   in the Sutta of Ud 4.1, which can be called  rare . He Meghiya three times contentious reviews  Buddha , then  Buddha  had indulgently  monk  attendant  zeal for  meditation  this.

Kinh writing, quote:

“ One time the Blessed One   stayed in Càlikà, at  Càlikà Mountain at that time  Venerable Meghiya was the  Blessed One attendant  . Then  Venerable  Meghiya went to  the Blessed One , after he came to  pay homage to the Blessed One  and stood on one side. Stand aside  venerable  Meghiya prospectus  Exalted : 

-  World Honored One , I want to go to Jantu village to beg for  alms .

- Hey Meghiya, do what I think is timely.

Then  Venerable  Meghiya, in the morning  covering him , took the bowl to  go to  Jantu village to beg for  alms . Begging  in villages Jantu finished, after meals, while  begging  to return , go to the waterfront Kimikaka, after arriving, pedestrians crossing the river Kimikala, see forest fresh mango beautiful, endearing, saw this  venerable  Meghiya  Thinking : “How beautiful, how lovely this mango forest is. This mango forest it is  just enough  for a  good son  ardent ,  practicing  virtues  essential need . If World  Religion  allows I, I will come to this mango forest to  diligently need  practice ”... ” (stop extracting)

Thought to  think : That morning,  Buddha  didn't beg for  alms . That is,  sometimes  Buddha  fasted? And so, Mr. Meghiya  beggars  alone . Then, after Mr. Meghiya's alms round   , he asked for permission to go into the mango forest to  meditate .

" Then  venerable  Meghiya go to  Bhagavan , after arrival,  pay homage to  Bhagavan  and sat down to one side, sat to one side,  venerable  Meghiya prospectus  Exalted :

- Here, white  World Religion , in the morning to  wear a y , take the bowl to  go to  Jantu village to beg for  alms . Alms  in Jantu finished, after meals, when to go  begging  to return , I went to the waterfront Kimikala, after arrival, the pedestrian crossing on the waterfront Kimikala, I saw forest fresh mango beautiful, endearing, saw it , I  thought : “How beautiful, how lovely is this mango forest. This mango forest it is  just enough  for a  good son  ardent ,  practicing  planet needs. " If the  Blessed One  allows me  , I will go to that mango forest to be in  need practice .

Being told that,  the Blessed One  told the  fake  Meghiya:

- Please wait, hey Meghiya. We are  now  alone , waiting  until  another bhikkhu comes ! ”(Pause)

That is,  during  this period , at the corner of Mount Càlikà, there was only  Buddha  and  attendant  Meghiya. There are   no other monks . That is,  this period  was  a  very early period of  Buddhism , because there was not yet Anan  the attendant , and not many  monks were  with  Buddha . Thus, this sutta is a  Buddha  said in the early years of  Dharma propagation .

Then, of record that he Meghiya controversial  Buddha , please  Bhagavan  him to a mango forest to  meditate . That is,  the attendant  Meghiya wants to leave  the Buddha  alone , leaving   Meghiya alone to the mango forest to  meditate . The mind that goes  to a  secluded place to  meditate , and "daring to leave  Buddha  alone"   is  obviously the mind  of the early monks, when  the Buddha  encouraged them to go  to the  wilderness to  meditate . The  monk In the  early days there was no "dependence on  the  Buddha's body " mind - it only wanted to  meditate  to  be liberated . 

Buddha  did not  agree , told him Meghiya wait ... is written: 

" For the second time,  the Blessed One  told the  fake  Meghiya:

- Please look forward to Meghiya! We are  now  alone , waiting  until  another Male-stilts come . ”(Stop quoting)

Then, Mr. Meghiya argued, please again. Times Tuesday to ask, he Meghiya be  Buddha  allowed  to go  alone : " Hey Meghiya, when I say  essential need , the same time I can say nothing! Hey Meghiya, now do what you think is timely! ”

Then, Mr. Meghiya went to the mango forest and wrote:  "... go deep into the mango forest and sit during the day under a tree. While  Venerable  Meghiya resides in the mango forest, most of the three malevolent, unwholesome minds are  currently  , ie sexuality, anger and harm .

That is, when Meghiya meditated , he saw many arises  in the mind: sex ( craving ), anger (frustration, anger), harm (harm, violence).

Then Meghiya  returned to  talk  to  the Buddha about  sitting meditation , seeing arise  unwholesome mental states   like that.

The Buddha  taught, " Hey Meghiya, when the  mind of liberation is  not yet  mastered , the five dharmas lead to  maturity . What is the year? ”

Buddha  listed  the 5 measures need  to mind  liberated  maturity : (1) need to live near you  good is knowledge , (2) to  hold the world , (3) need to hear the story of  dispassion  and radial about  liberation , (4) need to  persevere to  leave  the unholy  mind  and  cultivate the good mind, (5) need to  contemplate  the  arising  and passing away  to move  away from sorrow .

The first point is suitable for Mr. Meghayi. Because he is  the attendant , living next to  the Buddha , next to the first of  good knowledge  in this world, has the  opportunity to  hear a lot of sutras. It is also  a wary  for  us : Mr. Meghayi  meditating  and  initiating  miscellaneous psychology , let alone what  we are  now.

The Buddha  taught more, after  settling  in those five dharma, cultivate 4 more dharma, the sutta writes:

" Again, this Meghiya, with the Male-stilts cleverly  dwell  in this year, four measures  need to  practice  more:  impure to  practice  to take part; Words need to  practice  to take the yard; Mindfulness of the  breath with  out-  and-  out breath needs  practice  to  eliminate  the fourth thought; Impermanence thought it was necessary to  practice  to spit  arrogance , I am. Hey Meghiya,  to anyone who has the  idea of ​​impermanence , the thought of  anattā  is  dwell. For those who have the thought of  non-self , he  attains arrogant  spit  : I am,  Nirvana in the  present . ”(Discontinuation)

This group of 4,  summarized  as: (1)  impure  (body  dirty , this realm  dirty ) so as not to   generate  craving ; (2)  the Compassionate Restaurant  to not pitch anyone or  beings  ; (3) recite the  breath  in and out to stop mindfulness (Anandajoti translation:  cutting off of thoughts ; Thanissaro translation:  cut off thinking ; Ireland translation:  cutting off (discursive) thinking - that is, to cut off the mindfulness or to be  mindless) ); (4) contemplate  impermanence  so that the mind can rest  at  the self .

We  can  recognize  some points:

-  The Buddha  did not teach  samadhi , not even sure he Meghayi right into  meditation .

-  Buddha  taught that in order  to first  be interested to  dispassion , then to  cup golf , then have to set  the breath  to  glass concept , and ending with  bars  impermanence .

But this particular experience for him  attendant  Meghayi, but will  adapt  to many  of us . That it is not  necessary  to practice the  eightfold meditation . That the mindfulness of the  breath  does not need to be  complicated , it is only necessary to recite the  breath  in and out to reach the level of thoughtfulness (should not be understood as erasing the mindfulness, it should be understood  relatively  when breathing, keeping the  mind  as calm as the surface of the lake) is enough. . And the impermanent shop   will see  egolessness ,   instant Nirvana .

How to bar impermanence? Can  feel impermanent  through  body and mind changes  as follows. When you from  the sun  enters the house, will be  feeling ,  recognize the body and mind transformation . Similarly , when you come from the house  out into the  sun. will  feel body and mind changes . You take a sip of water, and you will  feel your life change  as it spreads into your body. When you sit breathing, you will  feel your body and mind change  with each  breath . Each moment comes and disappears immediately, that is the wind          impermanent fluency  where  body, mind  you. When  sensing impermanence , you do not cling to the past, all three times of the future appear in  your mind and body  . Each moment receive  impermanence smoothly  on the  body and mind . It is a sūtra, because the  word means  the thing of  the past , that you have  cast aside the past  . When  feeling impermanent , you are living with the  Unknown Mind  , with the Unknow, with The Unknown. Feeling of impermanence  on the  body and mind Currencies        like that,  Zen Master  also called "not a method given to people." Because whenever there is any solution to  peace of mind , are the  words  of  the past . Also known as  Infinite Mind , because everyone  start the mind  nothing is lost immediately the  feeling of impermanence of currencies . Also known as  Vo Ngon , because opening words is also a thing of  the past . Buddha  here called  sensations  flow  impermanence  is  to dwell selflessness , is  to dwell Nirvana  here and now , in English also called     Nibbana here and now .END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.2/8/2020.
