10. The Bodhisattva Decided To Leave The City To Go Forth From Home.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
THE bodhisattva gave up his secular life to leave the family life in the world
When the Bodhisatta returned to the palace after meeting the holy monk, that very night when he heard that Queen Yasodharā had given birth to a prince, love for him arose in his heart, and he lamented: "A great bond!" . Therefore, the Prince was named "Rāhula".
Even so, the Bodhisattva's vow to leave home remained unchanged ; That night, he came to find Channa, a trusted horse-keeper and said:
- Hey Channa, tonight I will leave the palace to go home, you should prepare for me the horse Kandaka right now, and remember not to let one who knows.
Suddenly he thought for a moment: "Before leaving home, I should come and see the face of the Emperor". He sneaked into Queen Yasodhara's room, under the dim light, the Queen was lying on her side, putting her left arm over the Prince, because standing behind her, she couldn't see her face clearly, He thought to himself: "If I approach, I'm afraid that I'll miss you. The queen will wake up, hindering my ordination tonight. Right now, I haven't seen Huang'er's face yet, but after I attain the Buddha of Perfect Enlightenment, I'll come back and see him later."
The Bodhisattva gently stepped out, got on Kandaka's horse, and Channa followed, at midnight on the full moon day of the sixth lunar month, he escaped from the palace to go forth. Each horse's hooves are supported by heavenly hands, making no sound, so no one knows; When they reached the city gate, the gods immediately opened the door for Kandaka's horse to gallop through. The noble Bodhisattva left home to go forth to find a way to relieve suffering for himself and the four groups.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.7/9/2021.
