When he arrived not far from the mango grove, the brahmin Brahmāyu thought: "It is not appropriate for me to come to see the recluse Gotama without warning."

He wants to see the Venerable Gotama." - Yes, venerable sir. The young man obeyed the brahmin Brahmāyu, went to the place where the Blessed One was, and, after coming to say hello to the Blessed One, after saying his greetings and greetings, stood to one side. Standing to one side, the young man said to the Blessed One - Venerable Gotama, the brahmin Brahmāyu inquired of Venerable Gotama who had few diseases, little brain, peace of mind, good health, and happiness: "Venerable Gotama, the brahmin Brahmāyu is old and weak... and Great general.

He wants to see the Venerable Gotama." “Young man, now the Brahmin Brahmāyu should do what he thinks is timely. Then the young man went to the Brahmin Brahmāyu, and when he arrived, he spoke to the Brahmin Brahmāyu. - The venerable has been accepted by the recluse Gotama. Now, venerable sir, do what you think is timely. Then the brahmin Brahmāyu went to see the Blessed One. The assembly saw the Brahmin Brahmāyu coming from afar, and after seeing it, immediately avoided the places on either side because he was well known and famous. The brahmin Brahmāyu said to that assembly "Just now, venerable ones, take your seat. Here, I will sit near the recluse Gotama. Then the brahmin Brahmāyu went to the Blessed One's side, on arrival, uttering greetings and greetings to the Blessed One, after uttering his greetings and greetings, sat down to one side. Sitting down to one side, the brahmin Brahmāyu looked for the thirty-two great marks of the Blessed One's body. The brahmin Brahmāyu saw most of the thirty-two great marks on the Blessed One's body, except for two, with regard to those two great marks, doubts arose, hesitancy arose, unsatisfied, unsatisfied, and unsatisfied. heart, ie the general of the hidden horse and the broad and long tongue. Then the brahmin Brahmāyu said to the Blessed One the following verses: Venerable Gotama! Three or two Great Generals, I've heard of, Two I can't see On the body of the Venerable, the Venerable, the hidden code, the Supreme Being of Humanity, are you there or not? Or a female general? Or is His tongue too short? Or is His tongue wide and long? Let me really know. Reach out your tongue, May the Great Sage, For the sake of our present peace, For our future happiness, We ask for permission, Ask what we want to know. Then the Blessed One thought: "This brahmin Brahmāyu sees in my body the majority of the thirty-two great marks, except for two, with regard to those two great marks, doubts arise, hesitancy arises, unsatisfied. satisfied, unsatisfied, that is, the sign of the hidden sound and the long and wide tongue." The World-Honored One immediately used supernatural powers to make the Brahmin Brahmāyu see the hidden horse of the Blessed One, and the Blessed One stuck out his tongue, touched, and licked his ears; touch and lick up to the nostrils, and cover the entire forehead with the tongue. Then the Blessed One replied to the brahmin Brahmāyu with this verse: Three or two Great Generals, You've heard of them , They're all on my body, sage, don't doubt! What needs to be known, already known, What needs to be cultivated, already practiced, What needs to be removed, subtracted, Therefore, I am the Buddha. (Hey Brahmin!) For present happiness , For future happiness, You are allowed to ask, What You want to know. Then the brahmin Brahmāyu thought thus: "Now the recluse Gotama has given me permission. So we should ask the recluse Gotama about his present or future purpose.” Then the brahmin Brahmāyu thought: 'I have been skilled in the present purpose and others have asked me about the present purpose. Let us then ask the recluse Gotama about the future purpose." Then the brahmin Brahmāyu addressed the Blessed One in verse: What is (is) a Brahmin? How the Vedas? What is a three-mind? How to call auspicious? What is an offering? How is the Perfection? How is the Mani? How to call Buddha-da? Then the Blessed One replied in verse in verse to the brahmin Brahmāyu: Who knows the past life, Seeing good and evil, Ending rebirth, Winning knowledge is completed, He calls Mani. Whoever knows the purity of the mind, Liberation calls for covetousness , The cessation of birth and death, the completion of the holy life, the attainment of all dharmas, he proclaims Buddha-da. Hearing this, the brahmin Brahmāyu arose from his seat, put his upper robe on one shoulder, bowed his head at the feet of the Blessed One, kissed the ground around the Blessed One's feet with his mouth, and touched the surroundings with his hands. and self-proclaimed: - Venerable Gotama, I am the Brahmin Brahmāyu. And that assembly's mind became wonderful, wonderful: "How wonderful! It is a miracle that the great power, the great spiritual power of the recluse caused this Brahmin Brahmāyu, with such fame and fame, to humble himself to the utmost.” Then the Blessed One said to the brahmin Brahmāyu "Just now, brahmin, get up. Please sit on your chair because your mind has rejoiced in the Tathagata. Then the brahmin Brahmāyu, having risen, sat on his chair. Then, in turn, the Blessed One gave a lecture to the brahmin Brahmāyu, a discourse on generosity, a discourse on morality, a discourse on the heavenly realms, and expositions of danger, inferiority, and defilement of sensual pleasures. and the benefits of renunciation. When the Blessed One knew that the brahmin Brahmāyu's mind was ready, pliable, free from hindrance, exhilarated, and faithful, he immediately preached the Dharma that the Buddhas have exalted, namely, suffering, origin, and cessation. , Dao. Just as a pure white cloth, which has been washed away from its black spots, is easily absorbed by dyes, so it is at this seat that the far-reaching dharma eye arises in the brahmin Brahmāyu's mind: "The universal Dharma Whatever is learned to arise is destroyed.” The brahmin Brahmāyu sees the dharma, realizes the dhamma, realizes the dhamma, penetrates into the dhamma, dispels doubt, ceases to hesitate, attains confidence, do not rely on others for the Dharma of the Master. The brahmin Brahmāyu then said to the Blessed One: - How wonderful, Venerable Gotama! How wonderful, Venerable Gotama! Like a man standing up what has fallen, revealing what is hidden, showing the way to the lost, bringing a light into the dark so that those who have eyes can see form; also, the Dharma has been presented and explained by Venerable Gotama. I take refuge in the Blessed One, take refuge in the Dharma, and take refuge in the Order of Bhikkhus. May Venerable Gotama accept me as a disciple, from now until the end of my life, I would like to dedicate my whole life! May Venerable Gotama accept my invitation tomorrow to dine with the bhikkhus! The Venerable One silently accepted. Then the brahmin Brahmāyu, when he heard that the Blessed One had accepted the invitation, rose from his seat, bowed to the Blessed One, turned his right body toward him, and departed. The brahmin Brahmāyu, after that night was over, having prepared at his residence delicious dishes, both hard and soft, reported the time to the Blessed One: "Venerable Gotama, now It's time, the rice is ready." Then in the morning the Conqueror put on his robe, took his bowl and robe, went to the abode of the brahmin Brahmāyu, and on arrival sat down on the seat prepared with the bhikkhus. The brahmin Brahmāyu made with his own hands the assembly of bhikkhus with the Guru at the head, satisfying them with hard and soft palates. Then, after seven days, the Blessed One set out on a journey to leave Videha. Not long after the Buddha passed away, the brahmin Brahmāyu passed away. A large number of bhikkhus went to meet the Blessed One, and after having bowed down to the Blessed One, sat down to one side. Sitting to one side, those bhikkhus said to the Blessed One - Dear Sir, Brahmin Brahmāyu has passed away. What is his rebirth, how will his future rebirth be? “Bhikkhus, the brahmin Brahmāyu is a sage. He follows the Dharma in accordance with the Dharma, without disturbing me with accusations about the Dharma (Dhammadhikaranam). Bhikkhus, the brahmin Brahmāyu, having abandoned the five lower fetters, was reborn, and from there entered Nirvana, with no return to this life. The Ten Powers of Wisdom preached thus. Those bhikkhus gladly accepted his teaching.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.14/9/2021.
