At that time the master Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta and a group of disciples were living in the country of Nālandā. One day, a disciple of the Nigaṇṭha master named Dīghatapassī went to Nālandā for alms. After having finished his meal, the monk Dīghatapassī came to visit the Blessed One in the mango garden of the rich Pāvārika, after visiting. Sitting in a reasonable place, the Blessed One asked the monk Dīghatapassī that: - "How many types, Tapassi, the Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta establishes karma in creating evil karma, becoming bad karma?". The monk Dīghatapassī said: DI: Dear Samon Gotama, the Master Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta does not limit karma, but the "Daṇḍa (torture)" setting is regular. Response: How many kinds, Tapass, the Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta prescribes the torture of making bad karma turn into bad karma? DI: Dear Samon Gotama, the Master Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta prescribes the torture of creating negative karma into bad karma of three types: – Kāyadaṇḍa: Torture of the body. – Vacīdaṇḍa: Torture by the mouth. – Manodaṇḍa: Torture of the mind. DP: Of the three types of torture, Tapass, which are physical abuse, verbal abuse, and mental torture, the Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta has established which type of torture has the most serious crime in creating negative karma. , become evil karma? DI: Dear Samon Gotama, of these three different types of torture, the master Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta established "Kāyadaṇḍa" has the most serious crime in creating evil karma, becoming evil. Karma. And the regulation of verbal abuse and mental torture can't be as serious of a crime as creating negative karma, becoming as bad karma as physical abuse, sir. The Buddha asked three times, the monk Dīghatapassī also affirmed 3 times as before, then the monk Dīghatapassī asked the Buddha that: DI: Dear Samon Gotama, how many kinds of "torture (daṇḍa)" do you prescribe in making bad karma turn into bad karma? Dear Sir. DP: Tapass, the Tathāgata does not prescribe "torture (daṇḍa)" but usually prescribes "Kamma". DI: Dear Samon Gotama, how many types of "kamma" do you establish in creating negative karma to become bad karma? Dear Sir. DP: Tapass, the Tathāgata establishes “kamma” in creating evil karma to become bad karma of three types: - Evil body. - Bad karma. - Evil intentions. DI: Dear Samon Gotama, among the three types of evil karma, namely, bad karma of body, bad karma of speech, bad karma of mind, you have determined which type of bad karma has the most serious crime in creating evil karma, becoming evil karma. ? Dear Sir. DP: Of these three different kinds of evil karma, Tapass, the Tathāgata has established the type of evil volition that is the most serious in creating evil karma, becoming evil, and has established the type of evil bodily karma and evil speech. Karma cannot have serious crimes in creating evil karma, becoming evil karma, by means of evil karma. Monk Dīghatapassī asked the Blessed One again three times, the Blessed One also affirmed three times as before, then monk Dīghatapassī asked for permission to say goodbye to the Blessed One and returned to meet the Master Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta. At that time the master Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta was sitting in the hall among a group of monastic and lay disciples with the rich man Upāli, the leader, seeing Dīghatapassī returning from afar, so the master Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta asked: Ni: Hey Tapass, where did you come back at such late afternoon? The monk Dīghatapassī said: DU: Dear Sir, I have returned from the monastery of Samón Gotama. Dear Sir. Ni: Hey Tapass, have you discussed anything with the Samon Gotama? DU: Dear Sir, I have been conversing with the Samon Gotama. The monk Dīghatapassī then narrated his full conversation with the Buddha to the master Nigaṇṭha nāṭaputta. After listening, the master Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta praised and praised: - O Tapass, what you have told Samon Gotama is true, you are worthy to be a disciple who understands, knows exactly according to the teacher's teaching: - "Actually, mental torture is worth it. compared to physical abuse. In fact, only physical abuse has the most serious crime in creating evil karma, becoming evil karma only. As for verbal abuse and mental torture, there can be no serious crime in creating negative karma, becoming more negative karma than physical abuse!" PHU HO UPĀLI PLEASE PERMIT TO GO TO PLAY WITH BUDDHA When he heard the Guru Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta say so, the wealthy Upāli immediately said to the Master Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta: - Dear Sir, the Dīghatapassī has presented it correctly! Cool! What the Dīghatapassī presented to Samon Gotama was exactly what I heard him teach. The Dīghatapassī was indeed a disciple who understood and knew exactly according to his teachings. In fact, too little mental torture is nothing compared to too great physical torture. In fact, only physical abuse has the most serious crime in creating evil karma, becoming evil karma only. As for verbal abuse and mental torture, there can be no serious crime in creating bad karma, becoming bad karma, with physical abuse! - Then, sir, I will go to a duel on this matter with Samón Gotama. If Sammon Gotama still affirms to me as he affirmed to the Dīghatapassī, then I will ask questions, ask questions, ask questions forward, ask back, ask questions, ask questions again, in my own words in response to your words. Samon Gotama, like a strong man holding a lamb's long hair and pulling it back and forth like that. I will retort, question and contort with my own words in response to the words of Samon Gotama, like a strong man working in a distillery who throws garbage into a pot of wine and pulls it back and forth. I will twist, rub, crush with my own words in response to the words of Samon Gotama, like a strong man who is a wine drinker holding a cup of wine tilted back and forth, etc. Dear Sir, I am going to meet Samon Gotama to fight his mind on this matter with my own words in response to the words of Samon Gotama. The master Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta encouraged and encouraged that: - O rich man, you should go, you should go to a duel on this matter with your own words in response to the words of Samón Gotama. Upon hearing this encouragement from the Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta Guru, the Dīghatapassī said to the Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta Master: - Sir, what you encourage is the rich man Upāli to come to the Samon Gotama to fight with wisdom with words. I am not satisfied at all, I am not reassured at all, because Samon Gotama is a One with many wonderful techniques, so there have been many foreign disciples. subject to submission, please be a disciple of Samon Gotama. The master Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta firmly believed that it was impossible for the rich Upāli, so he firmly assured that: - O Tapass, it is impossible for the rich Upāli to become a disciple of the Samon Gotama. right cause, not condition can happen, but on the contrary, it is possible that Samon Gotama will become a disciple of the wealthy Upāli. "You, rich man Upali, should go, you are the one who should go to war on this matter with your own words in response to the words of Samón Gotama." Although monk Dīghatapassī advised the master Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta not to let the rich man Upāli lead his mind with the Samon Gotama three times, the master Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta did not pay attention to the advice of the Dīghatapassī, but still encouraged and encouraged the rich man. Upāli went to a duel on the matter with his own words in response to the words of Samón Gotama. PHU HO UPLI COME TO MEET THE BUDDHA Encouraged and encouraged by the Guru Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta, the rich man Upāli bowed to the Guru Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta and asked for permission to go to the rich man's mango grove Pāvārika to meet the Buddha. The rich man Upali respectfully bowed down to the Buddha, sat down in a reasonable place, and asked the Buddha: - Dear Sir Samon Gotama, has the monk Dīghatapassī come here or not? White Sir. The Buddha taught that: -O rich man Upāli, the Dīghatapassī has come to this place. – Dear Sir, have you discussed with the Dīghatapassī about anything? White Sir. - Wealthy Upāli, the Tathagata had a discussion with the Dīghatapassī. The Blessed One instructed the rich Upāli to have a conversation between him and the monk Dīghatapassī. After listening to the Buddha's transmission, the rich man Upali said to the Blessed One that: Upā: Dear Samon Gotama, what a good Dīghatapassī! What the Dīghatapassī presented to the Blessed One was in accordance with what I had heard and learned from the Master. The Dīghatapassī is a disciple who understands, knows exactly according to the teachings of the Master. In fact, it is the physical torture that has the most severe power, while the mental torture has the least and negligible power. Dear Samon Gotama, the truth is that only physical abuse is the most serious crime in creating evil karma, becoming evil karma only. As for verbal abuse and mental torture, there can be no serious crime in creating bad karma, becoming bad karma, with physical abuse! DP: Rich man Upali, if you affirm that these things are true, then the Tathagata and you will discuss the matter. Upā: Dear Samon Gotama, I affirm, affirm that these things are true. So I would like to argue with you on that matter. The Buddha asked these questions: DP: Rich man Upāli, how do you perceive this: "In this life, the disciple Nigaṇṭha was seriously ill, suffering, seriously ill, and he was forbidden to drink cold water. Only hot water is allowed. The patient died because he couldn't drink cold water." In which realm, rich man Upāli, the Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta instituted the next life rebirth of that Nigaṇṭha disciple? Upā: Venerable Samon Gotama, the Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta established the realm of devas called "Manosatta (deities with attachment)". At the time of death, the disciple Nigaṇṭha has a mind of attachment in the realm of manosatta gods, so, after the patient's death, he will be reborn in the next life in that group of manosattas. Why? Dear Samon Gotama, because of that Nigaṇṭha disciple, on his deathbed, his mind was attached to that manosatta deva realm. DP: Rich man Upali, you should consider carefully, answer carefully, do not let the latter contradict the former, or do not let the former contradict the latter. It was you, rich man, Upali, who once said to the Tathagata: "Dear Sir Samon, I affirm, affirm that these things are true (that is, "only this bodily torture is evil." The most serious thing in creating bad karma, becoming bad karma.But verbal abuse and mental torture can't have serious crimes in creating bad karma, becoming bad karma, with physical torture. where!"). So I would like to argue with you on that matter.” Upā: Dear World-Honored One, you have taught true words. Even so, for me this physical abuse is the most serious crime of creating negative karma, becoming evil. As for verbal abuse and mental torture, there can be no serious crime in creating negative karma, becoming bad karma, by physical abuse. DP: Rich man Upali, how do you perceive this: “In this life, the disciple Nigaṇṭha is the one who should carefully restrain the four prohibitions: – It is absolutely not allowed to drink cold water (in cold water there are creatures, which also means abstaining from all evil). – Absolutely refrain from doing evil – All evil must be eradicated by abstaining from doing evil completely. – When exposed, absolutely do not do all crimes. So, when you step forward, when you step back, you step on the dead little beings." So, rich man Upāli, how does the Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta determine the result of that kamma for that Nigaṇṭha disciple. Upā: Venerable Sir, the Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta does not constrain karma in action without intention. Action without intention is not a serious crime. DP: What if there is intention, rich man Upali? Upā: Dear World-Honored One, if there is intention, there is a serious crime. DP: Rich man Upāli, what kind of daṇḍa (torture) does the Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta when acting with volition belong to? Upā: Venerable Lord, the Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta states that when acting with volition belongs to mental torture (manodaṇḍa). DP: Wealthy Upali, you should consider carefully, answer carefully, do not let the latter be contrary to the former, or do not let the former contradict the latter. You, rich man Upali, once said to the Tathagata: "Dear Samon Gotama, I affirm, affirm that these things are true (that is, 'Only this bodily torture is sinful. The most serious evil in creating bad karma, becoming bad karma.But verbal abuse and mental torture can't have serious crimes in creating evil karma, becoming evil karma, with physical torture. Where's the body!"). So I would like to argue with you on that matter.” Upā: Dear World-Honored One, you have taught true words. Even so, for me this physical abuse is the most serious crime of creating negative karma, becoming evil. As for verbal abuse and mental torture, there can be no serious crime in creating negative karma, becoming bad karma, by physical abuse. DP: Rich man Upali, how do you perceive this: "The city of Nālandā is a very rich, very developed city, with many species of beings, with many people, isn't it?" Upā: Dear World-Honored One, that's right! The city of Nālandā is a very prosperous city, very developed, with many species of beings, with many people. White Sir. DP: Rich man Upali, how do you perceive this: “In this city of Nālandā, there was a man who took a knife and declared, 'I will butcher all living beings, everyone and all living beings in this city of Nālandā, and then chop them into one. a huge pile of meat in a single moment (moment), just a flash.” O rich man Upali, how do you perceive? That man can butcher all living beings, everyone and all living beings in this city of Nālandā and then mince them into a huge pile of meat in a single moment (moment), a flash or not? Upā: Dear World Honored One, even if there are 10 men, 20 men, 30 men, 40 men, 50 men or more men, it is not possible to kill all animals. sentient beings, everyone and all sentient beings in this city of Nālandā, then crushed and gathered into a huge pile of meat in a single moment (moment), a flash, let alone a man then how can you do it! (Definitely not possible). DP: Rich man Upali, how do you perceive it? A samana or a brahmin of extraordinary psychic powers, one who is adept in psychic powers. Arriving at this city of Nālandā, that samana or brahmin declared that: "I will make this city of Nālandā ashes with only one mind of anger arising thinking of destruction." O rich man Upali, how do you perceive? Is it possible for that samana or brahmin to have extraordinary psychic powers, a master of supernormal powers, to turn this city of Nalandā to ashes with only one mind of anger arising thinking to destroy it? Upā: Venerable Lord, even though there are 10 cities, 20 cities, 30 cities, 40 cities, 50 cities like this city of Nalandā, that samana or brahmin has extraordinary supernatural powers, Being a master of supernormal powers, he can also turn those cities into ashes with only one mind of anger arising thinking of destruction, let alone this one city of Nālandā, how could it not become ashes? Okay! (definitely turns to ashes). White Sir. DP: Wealthy Upali, you should consider carefully, answer carefully, do not let the latter be contrary to the former, or do not let the former contradict the latter. You, rich man Upali, once said to the Tathagata: "Dear Samon Gotama, I affirm, affirm that these things are true (that is, "only this bodily torture is sinful." The most serious evil in creating bad karma, becoming bad karma.But verbal abuse and mental torture can't have serious crimes in creating evil karma, becoming evil karma, with physical torture. Where's the body!"). So I would like to argue with you on that matter. Upā: Dear World-Honored One, you have taught true words. Even so, for me this physical abuse is the most serious crime of creating negative karma, becoming evil. As for verbal abuse and mental torture, there can be no serious crime in creating negative karma, becoming bad karma, by physical abuse. DP: Rich man Upali, how do you perceive this: “Daṇḍakī forest, Kāliṅga forest, Mejjha forest, Mātaṅga forest, those forests before becoming forests, did you hear the story or not?”. Upā: Yes, sir, the Daṇḍakī grove, the Kāliṅga grove, the Mejjha grove, the Mātaṅga grove, those groves before becoming a forest, I have heard the story. White Sir. DP: How do you perceive, rich man Upāli, Daṇḍakī grove, Kāliṅga grove, Mejjha grove, Mātaṅga grove, what have you heard before becoming a forest? For what reason became those forests? Upā: Dear World Honored One, I have heard it said: “The reason why the Daṇḍakī grove, the Kāliṅga grove, the Mejjha grove, and the Mātaṅga grove became a forest, is because the devas generate aversion, thinking to destroy it, because human evil karma torments the Taoist and harms him. Taoist". DP: Wealthy Upali, you should consider carefully, answer carefully, do not let the latter be contrary to the former, or do not let the former contradict the latter. You, rich man Upali, once said to the Tathagata: "Dear Samon Gotama, I affirm, affirm that these things are true (that is, "only this bodily torture is sinful." The most serious evil in creating bad karma, becoming bad karma.But verbal abuse and mental torture can't have serious crimes in creating evil karma, becoming evil karma, with physical torture. Where's the body!"). So I would like to argue with you on that matter.” PHU HO UPĀLI KINDLY PLEASE PERMIT TO MAKE SURVEY Upā: Dear World Honored One, I am very pleased with the Blessed One's teaching, at the very first example, but I am very eager to hear your fluent response in various ways, different examples. profoundly of the Buddha. Therefore, I have pretended to be stubborn, difficult to teach, opposed to You, but in my heart I respect You with all my heart. Dear World Honored One, your teaching is so clear! For example, turning over an object that is covered, or opening a closed object, or showing the way to someone who is lost, or shining a light into a dark place so that a person with bright eyes can see everything clearly. Just as things exist, so the Blessed One preached the Dharma in many ways. Dear World-Honored One, I would like to wholeheartedly seek refuge in the Blessed One. I vow to wholeheartedly ask for refuge in the Dharma. I vow to wholeheartedly ask for refuge in the Bhikkhu Sangha. I respectfully ask the Blessed One to accept me as a male attendant who has taken refuge in the Three Jewels from now on for the rest of my life. DP: Wealthy Upāli, you should think carefully first, and then put it into words; People with a reputation like you should consider carefully before saying it in words. That's a good thing! Upā: Dear World-Honored One, I was very surprised to hear you advise me that: “O rich man Upāli, you should consider carefully first before you speak in words; People with a reputation like you should consider carefully before saying it in words. That's a good thing." With Your advice makes me even more extremely happy, extremely respectful of You even more. Dear World-Honored One, the group of non-Buddhists who have you as their disciple will carry their flags and cheer throughout the city of Nālandā, announcing to everyone that: "From now on, the rich Upāli is our disciple. " But the World-Honored One advised me: "O rich man Upāli, you should consider carefully first, and then speak in words. A famous person like you should consider carefully, then say it in words. That's a good thing." Dear World-Honored One, once again, with all my heart, I would like to take refuge in the Blessed One. I vow to wholeheartedly ask for refuge in the Dharma. I vow to wholeheartedly ask for refuge in the monks and nuns, for the second time. I respectfully ask the Blessed One to accept me as a male attendant who has taken refuge in the Three Jewels from now on for the rest of my life. DP: Rich man Upāli, for a long time, your family has often protected and provided for the Nigaṇṭha group, your family is like a well of water to them. From now on, your family should also continue to support and support them whenever they come to your family. Upā: Dear World Honored One, once again, I was very surprised to hear you advise me that: “For a long time, my family used to help and support the Nigaṇṭha group, my family is like a well of water to them. From now on, your family should also continue to support and support them whenever they come to your family." With Your advice makes me even more extremely happy, extremely respectful of You even more. Dear World-Honored One, I have heard that: "Samon Gotama advises like this: You should only do good deeds and give alms to the Tathagata, you should not do good deeds to others; should only do good deeds to the ranks of the disciples of the Tathagata only, should not do good deeds to the disciples of other sects; only the meritorious charity that the benefactor offers to the Tathagata is certain to have many valuable results only, and the good and good charity that the benefactor has offered to another person will not have much precious fruit; Only the merits and virtues of almsgiving that the benefactors have offered to the ranks of the disciples of the Tathagata will have much fruit, but the merit and virtue of the alms that the benefactors have offered to the disciples of other sects. there is not much treasure.” But in fact, the Blessed One advised his son to continue to do good deeds, to give, to protect and to support the Nigaṇṭha group. Dear World-Honored One, I will know when I should do good deeds and give alms. And once again, I vow with all my heart to take refuge in the Blessed One. I vow to wholeheartedly ask for refuge in the Dharma. I vow to wholeheartedly ask for refuge in the Bhikkhu Sangha for the third time. I respectfully ask the Blessed One to accept me as a male attendant who has taken refuge in the Three Jewels from now on for the rest of my life. PHU HO UPĀLI VERIFICATION OF SUCCESSFULLY READING STANDARDS Next, the Blessed One preached the Anupubbikathā Dharma to save the rich Upali, preaching in sequence: the Dharma of charity, the practice of keeping the precepts, the realms of the gods, and the sins of the five elements (form, sound, and sound). , smell, taste, touch) make the mind polluted, the precious fruit in the avoidance of the five sense objects (renunciation). The Blessed One knew that the mind of the wealthy Upāli was clear and easy to teach, at that time, the Blessed One supported the mind of the wealthy Upāli with the Four Truths: the Truth of Suffering, the Truth of Suffering, the Cessation of Suffering, and the Practice of the Ending of Suffering. (The Truth of the Way) just as a white cloth is clean and free of impurities, so it can be dyed and dyed in a beautiful color, so the pure goodwill of the wealthy Upali is the basis for generating the pure and clear Dharma eye (dhammacakkhu). Purity is also like that, clearly seeing that: "All the dharmas in the three realms have a state of arising, all of them have a state of cessation." At that time, the wealthy Upali had generated wisdom to realize the truth of the Four Noble Truths, had reached the truth of the Four Noble Truths, had clearly known according to the truth of the Four Noble Truths, had clearly understood and understood the truth of the Four Noble Truths. , so has completely destroyed all doubts in the Buddha, in the Dharma, in the Sangha... no more doubts, with his wisdom and wisdom, he has realized exactly according to the teachings of the World-Honored One. , so I no longer trust anyone else. Wealthy Upāli attained the status of a Stream-winner in the Buddha's teachings there.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.11/9/2021.
