Time Doesn't Wait For Anyone.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH. Although the Buddha was an enlightened Supreme Master , but he was a human being like many others, so there was no way to avoid birth, aging, sickness and death in this life . As a monk humble, Buddha chose where death is her one villages isolated, which is the village of Kushinagar, where contact intimately to life practice of Him in a life immemorial . Despite such preparations, Her last days are still days of non-stop work. Although old age is weakBut Buddha did not hesitate to walk on the road rolling away pull over, to pass down the slope, ice forest streams beyond ... along with the disciples so careful affection is Venerable Ananda to the villages nearby visit and impart the last lessons to His disciples . In the time of this, the disciples of the Buddha were respectively before later passed away . The two great disciples Xa-Loi-Phất and Thành-Kiền-Liên are two powerful arms , helping the Buddha to take care of the congregation inside and outside . Now only alone Venerable Xa-Loi-Waving. Even the Venerable La-Ma-La and the Venerable Da-Du-Da-La were no longer in the world. Venerable Ananda was sad when he saw the passing of fellow initiates , or when he was told that the Buddha 's house disciples , more and more passing away. In such sad moments , Venerable Venerable often asked the Buddha where these people went after their fate . For example, today, when the Buddha, together with the masses, monks stopped in the village of Nadika, where Salha monks and lay people died earlier. Celebrate yourself injured left back making Venerable Ananda ballast not be touched , sat down beside the Buddha and said: - Bach Duc The Ton , I remember brother Salha was destined for this place. I do not know what realm the brother was born in ? Post-generation and brother-brother 's mood like? Please open the amount of sea ​​water to tell me! The Buddha was watching the surrounding landscape , hearing Venerable Ananda mention Salha, he remembered that disciple 's figure in a golden robe, his gentle face , always attentive to study , and then replied : Hey Ananda, Female-on stilts Salha has eradicated the contraband or , self -attaining self- witness . His mind and wisdom were liberated . - Bạch Đức Thế Tôn , and the layperson Level-Co-Single, he was born to heaven , and what to do on it? - Teacher Ananda, he remembers that before the common destiny Mr. Cap-Co-Doc had attained Nhat Lai results . The reason he was born into heaven , is because of the great merit created in this life . He would be a god until when the blessing of a return to this life once again, continue road practice and will get rid of all suffering. Hearing the Buddha say so, Venerable Ananda held his hand in front of the chest of the amnesty, then looked at the trees swaying in the wind under the intense sun . In the beginning of the Great Lord again appeared silhouette, monks and nuns Sundari Nanda, who is the brother cousin of the Buddha and Venerable , a princess leaves pearl spike gold, also abandon life to the rich in the supply electric pilot found out family . Do not know now princessadventure somewhere. Inability. The Venerable accepted the Buddha's hand again, asking: - Bach Duc The Ton , Female -stilts nanda nanda while living practice very diligently, do not know after the general destiny , the female monk born in any realm? The Buddha patiently answered the attendant's question : - monks and nuns Nanda except the desire vile , no hatred, no confusion , no worries sorrow , nor skeptical Dharma ... by himself practicing promote intellectual reduce failure of the strong desire that ... until the center of the nuns dwell fully in the four foundations of mindfulness . When the general destiny of the nun reincarnated into the Heavenly Yard , from then on entering Nirvana does not return to this life! Venerable Ananda breath, feel inside so pleasant . The Venerable Buddha thought that the Buddha was indeed the most reliable and quiet refuge in this life for the Venerable . Anything the Venerable wants to learn , the Buddha is happy to answer , helping the Venerable to understand many things. Such is the sister of the clan of the Buddha and Venerable has attained Nirvana , will no longer suffer from samsara again. Buddha bless you, Venerable happy for nuns Nanda, then thought to his fate. Do not know what my path to practice in the future? Think so, then Venerable to continue prying remember the others had to go before her as Kakudha, Kalinga and many lay more ... Venerable want to ask the Buddha , but only! Read the thoughts of Venerable Ananda, the Buddha smiled the smile of tolerance and then slowly said: - Hey Venerable Ananda, I want to know laywoman Sujata, who offered milk and food for the Tathagata before Tathagata attained enlightenment , and lay Kakudha, Kalinga, Nikata, Bhadda, Subhadda ... now out Why not? - Namo amitabud! Bach Duc The Ton , the disciple really bothered him! - The Tathagata can tell you that these monks , like the Nanda nun , completely reside in the mind as if they should be born , since then enter Nirvana , no longer return to this life ... Yes over ninety believers male lay common destiny in this place, they have eradicated three fetters , do reduce greed, hatred and delusion attained Nhat Lai , will return to this world once again kill advantage suffering pain ... There are also more than five hundred lay people This common destiny in Nadika, attained to Save the result , is sure to no longer fall into evil , many lives in the future will achieve right awareness . Venerable Ananda accepted the Buddha, then hesitantly seemed to ask, but did not dare to speak up . Buddha to gaze compassionate look Venerable gently admonished: Hey Venerable Ananda, do not ask questions that are not worth questioning! It is not strange that people are born and have to suffer common fate . But every time someone shared destiny or thinking to problems common destiny , then he sadly and asked the Tathagata about certifications to practice theirs. - The Buddha model ... the disciple actually bothered the Buddha many times . - Well, the Tathagata will teach you how to attain the Truth , so that the teachers can foresee and say to themselves: "I will no longer be reborn in hell , be born , hungry ghosts , scene sorrow , guilt and lowly anymore. I was in saves , no longer fall back roads and evil, and the realization finally sure will be secured ". The Buddha continued: - Teacher Ananda, please listen and remember, Tathagata will be for you to teach the Example of the Dharma . The example of the Dharma is a good example of the disciple who devote himself to study . In order to achieve this path of attainment in the future, first of all, those who practice the religion need to have firm faith , as well as respect for the Triple Gem . Only with respectful beliefs will one try to practice according to the Dharma . The Three Jewels are Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. What is triune respect ? That is, they put all their faith and thought about the Buddha's virtues as a "Arahant, Righteous Enlightenment , Minh Hanh Túc , Goodbye , World Religion , Supreme Master , Creed. , Thien Nhon Su , The Ton , Buddha ". They also believe that the Buddha 's Dhamma was taught by him: " Wickedly taught, fully propagated , and encouraged to investigate.That performance immediately brought to Nirvana , so that each self- study , practice , exploitation learn for yourself ". They also put full trust where Patriarch , that trust in the Church Sangha by because: "the disciples ordained of Tathagata have virtue perfect . They practice in four thoughts: Righteousness, Truthfulness, Truthfulness , and Truthfulness . They are the monks alreadyAchieving the four paths and the four Holy results should be the ultimate blessing in the world , the one that deserves to receive the offering . " After teaching about the Example of the Dharma to Venerable Ananda, he came to the conclusion : - Teacher Ananda should know that such noble disciples as above are virtuous practitioners suitable for the Buddhas. Their virtues entirely in white , not a bit of pollution . The virtues that the upper men are always praising . The person who attains the above noble qualities is never tarnished by worldly aspirations . A positive virtue taken to heart the wise , know what will happen to him without having to seek in others. When will Ananda teacher and the public attest to attain Dharma Glass?this is the true teacher who is the noble disciples of the Tathagata . You can know in advance where you will go after giving up your mortal body in this life. Venerable Ananda attentively listened to the teachings of the Buddha . Teacher Development Center revered trinity Buddha, Dharma and Sangha in a strictly . When the Buddha has definitely said, Venerable twisted knees neatly bowed deeply in front of the Buddha . The Buddha looked at Ananda and said: - Well ... from now on Mr. Ananda not ask Tathagata these questions are not useful for the practice of teacher anymore. Teachers should cultivate diligently added to achieve religion prayer! Venerable Ananda who promised bow utmost efforts ardent . At night, teachers and students rest here. After taking care of and bringing the Buddha into the house. Virtue went out to the courtyard. He recalled what happened on Linh Thuu mountain a few weeks ago. Do not understand why I felt the attachment to love this mountain very long. The days of staying on Linh Thuu mountain were quiet days with more memories of the life of the mendicant than other places . Since being nominated by the congregation as attendant for the Buddha , the teacher had the opportunity to witness with his own eyes, to hear with his own ears, the golden words filled with gemswisdom , as well as actions expressing compassion tragic pity all species of Buddha . According to the personal thoughts of Venerable Ananda, the Buddha is an Omniscient who is unique and active in this world . Throughout the day, he always saw the Buddha was always busy with the work of propagating the Dharma . In addition to a very short time, it is necessary to address personal needs such as longevity, bathing, washing ... the Buddha 's activities are arranged very closely. Life interior of the Buddha 's meditation samadhi , experiencing happiness unworldly. And his outer life is to guide and uplift the quality of living beings in the human world . Thanks to his proximity to the Buddha day and night, Venerable Ananda knew the Buddha 's deeds very clearly . Every day at the time of sunrise, the Buddha used insight into the world , to see if anyone needed his sacrifice . If you think a person should support the spirit , He happy to lead him to the path on the right path . Normally the Buddha walked, but sometimes he also used miraculous powers fly in the air. The Venerable Buddha had seen the Buddha come to the vicious villains who did not disgust Angulimala or the evil Yaksa to transform them. Also the heart of religion fervently as she Visakha, millionaire Level-Christian or levels intelligentsia as brothers twinned Xa-Loi-Waving and Section-Kien-Union seek to please the life teachings in him. While the health of the world , if no one was invited by boys increases the Buddha himself hugging the bowl go begging on the streets regardless of muddy or dry, now go alone , when with them increases . A taste enlightened kings respected cult of respect, an Auspicious goods throughout the realms of heaven ... who kowtow obeisance whenever the front . Yet that taste is silenthumbly stand before doors, do not utter a word to life consulate real objects generosity of people who are clean , then return to the place of abode. Buddha did so from the time he was young until now the Buddha is eighty years old. Despite his unusual illness, the Buddha still went for alms . Buddha took real life before noon. Then he gave a sermon to the monks to listen. After the legal, Buddha retail refuge , communications contingent world , and if you disciple yet reached the level of the spirit of full, he directed all higher education, shortening the path of liberation for them . At noon Buddha returned to the hermitage . Do not know what the Buddha intended or not, but the Venerable always saw him lying on his side on his side.Buddha never lay for long. It took only five or ten minutes for him to wake up to enter the Great Compassionate concentration . Now is the time Buddha launch AI observed world track visits to lecture around the monks. Some of His disciples were walking into a deep, empty forest to meditate. There are also people who go to the village to sacrifice living beings . Many other disciples in the distance had questions that could not be explained, so he flew to preach with supernatural powers and then returned to the pureland . In the afternoon, devotees everywhere came to listen to the Buddha's teachings . With Buddha eye , he looked at the tendencies and the nature of everyone in the audience to preach the Dharma . Everyone who hears, despite the different nature and conception , has an impression that the Buddha 's Dhamma is special for him. For people of average class, the Buddha preached the benefits of almond alms , advised them to keep gender laws to the reincarnate of heaven enjoyhappiness . For those who are more advanced , he mentions the dangers of material pleasures and the happiness of denial, of detachment . To those who have attained a higher level, he teaches the Four Noble Truths . In the case of rare as Angulimala who deluded hands in blood to nine hundred and ninety-nine times, he used its power is divine power to influence the mind and ultimately making ordained for him. To watch the first night, from six to ten o'clock at night, the Buddha spent some time to respond , and illuminating questions about the teachings of the monks living with him. Watching in the middle, from ten to two o'clock at night, is the hour of the devas who are beings that cannot be seen by human eyes. They went down from heaven to Buddha to hear him preach . The last watch of the night from two o'clock at night to six o'clock in the morning, was divided into four parts. The first part, from two to three hours Buddha went to practice . From three to four o'clock, he lay spiritually, leaning on his right hand. From four to five o'clock, he entered Great Compassion, intending to spread Kindness to all over the place to calm the minds of all living beings . Then with Buddha's eyes , he again observed the world to see who needs sacrifices . The virtuous people and those who need him, no matter how far away, he also recognizes and opens his compassion to voluntarily come to his aid.Spirit is needed for them. Throughout the day, Venerable Ananda learned that the Buddha was always busy with such a moral duty . Buddha only slept an hour and day as well as today until today the Buddha was eighty years old, he still works regularly as such. Venerable Ananda sat still in the dark night, he looked up at the sky without a star, suddenly high above there were lightning flashes down across his face . The second watch is coming. Are the devas one by one saying goodbye to the Buddha flying to the sky creating these flashes? Buddha has divided his working time like that! The Buddha 's working hours are really tight. Venerable pity Buddha terribly, both injured just respect him no way to describeOK. In this world no one voluntarily as Buddha abandoned life full power of a king in the future, leaving the life of extravagant delight full of joy where palaces ... to plunge into life poverty , barefoot barefoot, a scarf wrapped around the body, maintaining alms and alms every day, day and night, do not bother anyone. In addition to the three months of settling in one place, the other eight months were the time for the promotion of the Dieu Dharma . The Buddha did not stop processing for good andhappiness for all people no class distinctions wealthy nobles or marginalized. He has international level and salvation countless beings , ever since your move Falun until today, and surely he will continue to do so for until death . Thinking of the day when the Buddha was no longer with him, Venerable Ananda felt his heart throb, and not yet Venerable Venerable was feeling helpless. Ignorant because Venerable knows that the road in front of Venerable is still very difficult , and there are many pitfalls . If you do not have the Buddha beside guiding mentor , how Venerable can alone boarded the shore of Enlightenment? In time practice occasionally the thought complex appear disrupt Venerable . They often guide the Venerable 's mind to run and jump around . But thanks to the upholding of the Buddha should Venerable escape those wandering junk there. Tonight, Venerable found himself lost awareness and concern aimlessly flooded in mind Venerable . End of this imageappeared and then another image followed ... Now stories happening on Linh Thuu mountain dominate my mind. He started to remember very clearly .... Linh Thuu mountain located in Vuong Xa city is the capital of Ma-Kiet-Da country ruled by King Tan-Bà-Xa-La. Later, the king ceded the throne to his son, Prince A-Xa-The. Over the past few years, the Buddha preferred to reside on this Spiritual mountain. This is a rocky mountain, on top of which there is a large rock shaped like a Thuu bird, so it is called Thuu Son . When the Buddha dwelled here, King Tan-Bà-Xa-La often visited the Buddha and heard the Dharma on this mountain. The king has built stone steps from the foot of the mountain up to the monastery of the Buddha and ordered the soldiers to level the bottom of the valley wall, and at the same time bridge across several streams to help the mendicants easily pass through. Every time he visited the Buddha , when he reached the foot of the mountain, King Tan-Ba-Xa-La often went down the palanquin to walk up stone steps to pay homage to the Buddha . The Buddha's hermitage is built on a large rock on top of a mountain. In the northeast is pure , is a stream transparent , cool, curving along the rocky ravine. On summer days , when the Buddha was young, he often washed his clothes by himself at this stream and dried it on a large rock beside the stream. In this place on clear days, the Buddha stood Net loss looked down, he just Venerable Ananda saw the capital of Rajgir . Turning his vision to the left, he asked the Venerable if he saw the majestic and magnificent castles ? Returnto the right, he commended that the rice fields, which were divided into clear squares, were beautiful. The image of the field that the Buddha likened to the fields of blessing . The lay person can keep his merit in those blessed fields . The time standing or sitting almost next to Buddha , if not by the Buddha to share the thoughts of him, certainly Venerable will not recognize the beauty regally magnificent as Him scenic sun slowly goes down In western land. So to Venerable Ananda, the Buddha is not just a rank enlightenment enlightened with compassion compassionate petal limitless, but he was a person known to enjoy the beauty of nature in heaven too. Mount Linh Thuu is not only the Buddha residing, but where his great disciples are scattered to be close to the Buddha , like the great brothers Xa-Loi-Phất, and-Kiền-Liên. , Ca-Lettuce, Uu-Ba-Ly, De-Ba-Dat-Da etc .. Remembering brother De-Bà-Đạt-Đa, Dai Duc remembers the lineage relationships . De-Bà-Đạt-Đa is the son of Queen Pamila, the biological aunt of the Buddha , the brother of Princess Da Du-Da-La. The princess is Prince Phi, that is, the wife of Prince Sy-Dat-Da when he is not ordained . Having both a lineage relationship and being a great disciple of the Buddha , brother De-Bà-Đạt-Đa was the one determined to kill the Buddha , who put himself in the enemy position. by the Buddha, just because of her pride, wants to take over the entire Sangha Church . Brother De-Bà-Đạt-Đa has repeatedly interrogated others to harm the Buddha, but each time he failed. Therefore, the brother risked his life his own life to plotting to kill the Buddha . Thanks to the same residence on Linh Thuu mountain, brother De-Ba-Dat-Da tried to block the Buddha when he was at the foot of the mountain going up . Fortunately, the rock was pushed down by brother De-Bà-Đạt-Đa and hit another rock, breaking into many pieces, only one piece of debris fell on the Buddha's foot bleed . Kill Buddha this time, brother De-Ba-Dat-Da tried another way to kill him. One time , the brother gave strong alcohol to a drunk elephant and drove the elephant out to stomp the Buddha. But strangely, when the elephant came in front of the Buddha , the front legs knelt, and the hind legs also bowed, the ears and tail dropped. The original aggressive position is no longer available, so the Blessed One has entered Dai Bi Dinh to feel the elephant drunk. Think of the act of sin evil of brother Devadatta, Venerable feel sadhard . And the great brother Muc-Kiền-Liên also died in pain , but his death for Venerable Ananda was a brave death for virtue. Monk Muc-Kiền-Liên is a person who has the ability to reason , attained A-La-Han, and was praised by the Buddha as his third largest disciple , after brother Kieu-Tran-Nhu and Xa-Loi -Fat. Brother Muc-Kiền-Liên is a filial mendicant monk to a famous mother in the Sangha , who used to use supernatural powers. went to hell to search for his mother . Seeing your mother suffering from hunger and shackles , brotherI can't do anything to help my mother. Even the rice bowl the brother offered to his mother to use, also turned into red fire. Too pitiful , the brother returned to the earth to pray for help with the Buddha . The Buddha said: - The teacher's mother caused many sins , the root of her evil sins became heavy karma . Even though the teacher is a filial piety , being an accomplished monk , he is not able to save her. The only way is that he should bring all of his parents ' possessions , buy a hundred dishes, hundred things fruit, incense, oil, candle lamps, bed, mats, etc., about to become an offering ceremony . Those who have attained four great results, those who have six miraculous powers and many others ... When the offering is finished, I just ask them for one thing . you the Great Germany in all ten directions . To both saints or to those meditating in the deep mountainsis: Right on the full moon day of July, the day slowly , ten we Tang , each person should because current parent , or parent 's previous life seven generations of them are oppressed on the yoke victims, let's put all its power is chanting beg death , then his mother rely merit that escaped . Brothers Category-Kien-Contact liturgical act in strict accordance with the teachings of the Buddha . That year, on the full moon day of the seventh month, all the monks everywhere joined forces with the brother to chant confessions to his parents for seven lives. Thanks to that, Mrs. Thanh De, the mother of the brother Muc-Kiền-Liên, was freed from hungry and hungry ghosts , and was born into heaven . Mirror filial of Brothers Category-Kien-Union are used as lesson Buddha taught to all beings . Every year to the full moon day of July is the joyous day of the Buddhas, so it is necessary for Vu Lan to offer offerings to the Buddha and the Sangha . Sincerely pray that current parents will have a long life, peaceful body and mind . Also pray for the parents of seven lives past exit the scene ghosts born in human realm , happy heaven . Brothers Category-Kien-Union is not the wine list is the son filial , argued well, but are people known to be a mendicant bold and upright most of the congregation . When it was necessary to declare the stance of the congregation or the dharma , the brother always spoke upright , not tolerating or forgiving to reduce anyone's sin . Whenever there was a contest to debate Dhamma with other sects ,brothers were all appointed by the Buddha to replace them if he was busy. With eloquence fluency, as well as every time this time, brothers Section-Kien-Contact will win the hearts of people in a glorious . Because these things that brothers were many persons in denominations other jealous hatred. Venerable Ananda remember that night ... after he and the Buddha went preaching over half of the month, at the back mountain Vulture is received frightening news that Venerable Section-Kien-Union were those of the sect complicity be assassinated at the gates monastery of Truc Lam . The Venerable 's humiliation was cremated . His ashes are collected in a vase and placed outside the hermitage of the Buddha . Receiving this news, the Buddha was silent for a while, then in a low voice asked the Venerable Xa-Loi-Phất: The teachers said that the Venerable Xa-Loi-Phất had closed the door of the house since the day Venerable Muc-Kien-Lien was killed . The Buddha heard that, so he looked for Xa-Loi-Phap to comfort . Venerable Ananda also lagged follow Buddha , the heart has mourned the deceased has left a poignant for survivors. The Venerable Buddha quietly followed the steps of Buddha, He did not dare say anything, but in the beginning he thought: "Buddha goes consolation Brothers Xa-Loi-Waving, while people take a while to two disciples big brother Category-Kien-Union and king Persian -Nac Kosala reign. King Persian-Nac is 're settled Doctorate refuge with Buddha from the early years when the Buddha new propagate religion France , is an old friend intimates the same time as the Buddha. and brothers Category -Kien-Lien is a disciple of the Buddha's virtue to guide the congregation . Whatever BuddhaHe did not say anything and did not show any attitude , but the Venerable still worried about him. After more than half a month long lecture tired , new back Net loss they received the sad news that, so that night Venerable sleepless nostalgic not sleep. The next morning, the Buddha took the relic of the brother Muc-Kiền-Liên down the mountain. He told Sangha to the monastery of Truc Lam select locations to build the tower celebrates and sheltered the relics of Venerable Section-Kien-Union. Here to comfort and answer the hidden questions of Venerable Ananda, the Buddha looked deeply into his eyes and said: - Hey, Ananda, everyone in the congregation praised him for learning a lot about the Dharma . The teacher should not take much study and remember that much. He acts as attendant , cares for the Tathagata and cares for the congregation carefully , which is necessary and immeasurable merit , but it is not enough. The master must know "time waits for no one ". The Venerable Muc-Kien-Lien accepted death without a fight, even though he had full magic magic . If he didn't want to, then no one could touch him, let alonemurdered teacher brutally so. The Buddha was silent for a second and then continued: - A person who understands religion does not resist what does not need to be against. Master Muc-Kien-Lien is a martyr, a Bodhisattva . That number of teachers! Venerable Ananda, please follow the example of Muc-Kien-Lien calmly before samsara and try diligently to get out of that cycle of samsara . Must consider the story of birth and death is a normal thing and go beyond the ordinary to destroy it completely, in order to achieve the noble inner happiness of the master. Venerable Ananda held his hand before the chest of the Buddha's amnesty . The teacher bowed his head very lowly and quietly asked: - Namo amitabud! So the Buddha did know this in advance or why? The Buddha put his hand over his eyes from the bright sunlight in the yard monastery and said: - Teacher Ananda asked Tathagata again, there is no need to ask anymore! Even the teacher Muc-Kiền-Liên knows his story in advance ! Before going to the religion , the Tathagata told him not to accept the challenge of argumentation the dissent sect , did Ananda forget it? - Buddha tissue, disciple remembered! Through this teaching of the Buddha , Venerable Ananda truly boundless gratitude Buddha . Venerable know Buddha very interested to master. Review itself , indeed until now Venerable has not attained fruition any better fruition in Save . Venerable still day and night by the Buddha's side , happily serving him, still clearly remembers the Buddha's teachings . But the teacher still did not see the right time make the effort . Today the Buddha 's saying "time does not wait for anyone" of the Buddha is so strong in his mind and the death of brother Muc-Kiền-Liên like someone's arrow pinned deep in his chest. Now the two brothers Section-Kien-Union and Devadatta had passed away already. One person leaves in calm acceptance , and one leaves in a deep regret . Venerable thought that there would come a time when he would also leave. He wanted her to come bring joy happy , directing the light ... as the teachings of the Buddha , not want to fall into hell as brothers Devadatta. Want as then be diligent defense is meticulous , personally liberate yourself alone! The image of the two brothers who passed away just came out of the mind of Venerable Ananda, the other image dominates ... Venerable Venerable remembers one early morning ... The Buddha told Ananda that he wanted to see all the mendicants who now live at the foot of Linh Thu Mountain and around the village for the last time. Listen to the Buddha, that afternoon Venerable Ananda gone summon even the mendicant in the foothills, and thanks to everyone who helped Oral ... summoned all mendicant present in the Rajgir and around The vicinity came to see Buddha. Just for a week, Colored robes on five hills Vulture.of nearly two thousand mendicant monks form a yellow glowing under the sun sun The next day, when the masses gathered in front of the full lecture hall . The Buddha descended from tranquility leisurely . He stepped onto the high dharma seat, sat slowly in the full lotus position , then looked at the masses with a gentle smile on his lips. After asking everyone's health . He began to lecture : - Hey disciples , today for the benefit of the disciples , the Tathagata teaches the seven conditions of prosperity of the Sangha , called the " Seven Immortal Dharma ", the words of the Tathagata today, you Please listen and try to practice to promote the Dharma . Two thousand " Model Buddha " sounds of the mendicant resound and echo in the mountains, creating a humming sound like a music harmonizing with the wind . All people towards Buddha waiting to hear the teachings of God. The Buddha gently told: - Dear disciples ... Every day that the monks often meet and gather in large numbers to study and learn the Dhamma like today. Day you still come together in conceptual desire is to learn and try to fulfill the responsibility of monks in the spirit of solidarity. The day when all the monks who strictly follow the precepts do not create divisive misunderstandings . Every day that the monks still maintain and respect those high and lowly virtuous ones in the congregation . Every day that you accept life frugal simplicity to avoid the influence of craving . Day that monks monks are also safe fun fun in the focus of meditation in places deserted purity . And the day when the monks still stay in mindfulness by themselves so that the fellow initiates who have not come yet want to come, the friends who have come, can live peacefully .... that day the Dharma is still flourishing and the congregation is not degraded. The Buddha continued: - You should know that not a factor outside can sabotage was congregations . Only members from within the congregation can disintegrate the congregation ! O mendicants , protect the Dharma by living according to the "seven immoral dharma s" that the Tathagata has just given! After instructing the above seven things, the Buddha realized that many disciples did not have enough roots to be able to progress on the path of study . By kindness compassion boundless boundless , Buddha illuminated more for Monks " seven measures any rotten " safety are as follows: Hey mendicants , to shorten the way of seeking liberation . You shouldn't waste time indulging in the world . Should not linger to talk galaxy . Also not to take the time to sleep constantly . Do not harbor or fall into lowly desires . Don't get close to evil people who have a tendency to be mean. Do not be complacent with knowledge . It should not be complacent with the level attained my small, if any. After teaching "fourteen non-rotten France" to the Male-stilts. The Buddha further reminded "seven elements of enlightenment" that every monk must go through. These are: The mindfulness factor , the factor of contemplation of the universe , the factor of diligence , the factor of bliss , the factor of lightness, the factor of righteousness and the release of equanimity . The Buddha also taught the impermanence of impermanence , no-self , letting go , and being separated impurity , desire and liberation . Ten days passed quickly, Venerable Ananda felt that during these ten days, the Buddha brought all his knowledge and knowledge to his disciples , with the hope that all people before and after would be liberated. . Venerable Ananda felt that the days of living with the Buddha were meaningful , peaceful and happy . Two thousand mendicants resided all over the five hills. Dwells under the tree , who reside in caves, hermitages or streams. Also has a taste of sleeping outdoors with a y sheet folded over the head and a y blanket covering the body. Each day they gather once in the lecture hall to listen to the Buddha's teaching. The audience sat in many steps everywhere on Linh Thuu mountain, because the yard was not large enough to accommodate that many people. On the eleventh day, the Buddha disguised the mendicants and advised them to return to the mountain to stay in their home country to practice , only the permanent residents of Linh Thu mountain remained with the Buddha! Nearly two thousand mendicants slowly descended from the mountain. Your yellow y-color stands out among the green of the mountain forest to create a beautiful and elegant picture . Venerable standing behind the Buddha looked down the mountain until there was no longer a tie to turn around. Before returning to the retreat , the Buddha stood looking at the mountain tops in the sky and then gently said: Hey teacher Ananda, this Linh Thuu mountain is so beautiful, so majestic, but we are not always here to enjoy the natural beauty forever. Be prepared, tomorrow we will go down the mountain, start a journey of teaching for several months. Maybe Tathagata will not have the opportunity to return here anymore! The first place we visit will be the Truc Lam monastery . The Venerable accepted his hand : - Namo amitabud! I will prepare all. Bach Duc The Ton , shall we depart as early as usual tomorrow morning ? - Yes, the teacher told the Venerables who want to participate in this propaganda to be prepared. Teachers and students we will begin when the sun is not rising. At that time, all scenes are still enjoying the purity , scattered by the Tathagata . Starting the trip at that hour, the teachers will enjoy peace too! The Buddha used to teach the disciples not to search for the past , not to cling to the present , nor to think about the future, to just dwell in now and here, that is, mindfulness every moment. While inside the Buddha through the upholding of whom Venerable not forgetfulness . Today stop this Nadika village, Venerable lemon hearts remember these brothers and sisters have died here, so ask haphazard , but that is the Buddha saidthose close to those who practice diligently have been born to a peaceful place , and the teacher also feels comfort and joy for them. The night has long fallen. A cold wind blew. The rain started to scatter the seeds. Wet soil rose up causing the Venerable to sneeze repeatedly. Venerable Venerable stood up and stretched, entered the retreat to watch over the sleep of the Buddha . Outside the rain grew louder, thunder and lightning thundered. Buddha was not walking , but he was entering samadhi . The Venerable scooped water to wash his feet and then crept into the incense room , next to the hermitage of the Buddha .
