To live righteously is to respect Buddha.
This story recounted when the Blessed One in Vesali (vesali) related to a monk.
The meaning of the seventh lotus step: Buddhahood
Upon hearing the Buddha's statement:
Hey monks, I will enter Nirvana in four months. Seven hundred monks were filled with fear. The Arhat experiences the impermanence of the teachings, but those who have not attained the Sādhas cannot stop their tears. The monks gathered in small groups and discussed and asked:
- What we will do?
At that time, a monk named Tissa thought, "If it is true for another four months that Venerable Buddha entered Nirvana, since I have not been free from desire, I must attain Arahantship while the Blessed One is still in Nirvana. so ". Immediately felt compelled to four posture and live alone without communicating with other masters without saying a word.
The monks asked:
- Hey, Tissa, why did you do that?
However, Tissa did not heed those words.
The monks repeated the story to the Buddha:
- Bach Thế Tôn, Tissa has no respect for Him.
The Buddha called Tissa to come and asked:
- Tissa! Why did he do that?
When Tissa recounted the motive that had acted, the Buddha praised:
- Be good, Tissa!
And he told the monks:
- Bhikshus! Only people like Tissa truly respect me. Even if people respect me with the scent of flowers, they don't really respect me.
He said whatever:
Tasted the solitary,
Having a pure taste,
No fear, no evil,
Tasting the French joy.
The greatness of the teacher is unique in life.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.6/3/2021.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.
