In India at that time, it was customary that before plowing the field to sow seed, people held a "field offering ceremony", asking the earth goddess Kālī to help them get a good harvest.
When the Bodhisatta was 7 years old, on the festival of the summer field, the king and the Sakyamuni royal family went to the field to do the ceremony. The king ordered silk to cover a cool place under the jambū tree for the bodhisattva to rest, then the king and the royal family went to the fields to plow. The festival took place very bustling, the concubines who looked after the Bodhisattva also secretly attended the festival, leaving the Bodhisattva to sit alone under the brooch tree.
The scene became quiet, the Bodhisattva looked out towards the festival, he saw buffalo pulling the plow, turning up large blocks of earth, worms writhing in pain, then birds flew to peck. the worms, the adults cast nets to catch the birds...
The Bodhisatta felt depressed, he sat cross-legged in the cross-legged position, closed his eyes to avoid seeing the above scenes, he focused on the breath and attained the stage of stream-entry.
This was an important event, helping him to give up the ascetic practice later on, practice the middle way to find the way to liberation from samsara.
In the late afternoon, when the ceremony was over, King Suddhodana returned to the place where the Bodhisattva rested, to bring him back to the palace, a strange thing was that "the other trees were all shaded, but the shadow of the brooch tree was still standing like a canopy. cool for the Great One". Seeing this rare phenomenon, and seeing the Bodhisattva meditating in meditation, the king immediately knelt down to pay homage to the Bodhisattva and said, "This is the second time I pay respects to you".
When asked, the King knew why the Great Being did not rejoice in the festival, but meditated in meditation. The king felt worried, "The prince is still so young, he will probably leave home in the future".
And the King raised the Bodhisattva very delicately, avoiding the Bodhisattva "not having to see the hardships of the world", the King built three lotus ponds: Blue lotus lake, pink lotus lake, and lotus pond. white to make the Bodhisattva's play place; brought incense from Kāsi to the Bodhisattva for use, the Bodhisattva's clothes were of the finest Kāsi fabric; Day and night there is a white umbrella to shade the Bodhisattva.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.5/9/2021.
