Sutra The example of a saw.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH. (Kakacùpama sutta) Like this I hear. At one time, the Blessed One was staying at Savatthi, at Jetavana, in Anathapindika's garden. At that time, Venerable Moliya Phagguna lived in contact with the bhikkhunis in an excessive way. The venerable Moliya Phagguna lived in relation to the bhikkhunis as follows: If any bhikkhu, in front of the venerable Moliya Phagguna, slanders those bhikkhunis, the venerable Moliya Phagguna will be angry and displeased. , questioning immediately; If any bhikkhunis, in front of those bhikkhunis, slandered Venerable Moliya Phagguna, those bhikkhunis would be angry, dissatisfied, and immediately questioned. Venerable Moliya Phagguna lives in association with such bhikkhunis. Another bhikkhu went to the place where the Blessed One was, and on arrival, having bowed down to the Blessed One, sat down to one side. Having sat down to one side, that bhikkhu said to the Blessed One: -- World-Honored One, Venerable Moliya Phagguna lives in an excessive way with the bhikkhunis. Venerable sir, the venerable Moliya Phagguna lives in relation to the bhikkhunis as follows: If any bhikshu, in front of the venerable Moliya Phagguna, slanders those bhikkhunis, the venerable Moliya Phagguna will be indignant. anger, dissatisfaction and immediate questioning; If any bhikkhunis, in front of those bhikkhunis, slandered Venerable Moliya Phagguna, those bhikkhunis would be angry, dissatisfied, and immediately questioned. World-Honored One, Venerable Moliya Phagguna lives in such an excessive relationship with the bhikkhunis. The Blessed One called another bhikkhu and said: -- Monk, go, in my name, call the bhikkhu Moliya Phagguna: "Sage Phagguna, the Teacher calls Sage". -- Venerable Sir, yes! That bhikkhu obeyed the Blessed One, went to Venerable Moliya Phagguna, and when he had arrived, he said to Venerable Moliya Phagguna: -- Sage Moliya Phagguna, the Teacher called Sage. -- Yes, Sage. The bhikkhu Moliya Phagguna obeyed that bhikkhu, went to the place where the Blessed One was, and when he had arrived, bowed down to the Blessed One and sat down to one side. The Blessed One said to the venerable Moliya Phagguna, who was sitting to one side: -- Is it true, Phagguna, that it is said that he lives in contact with the bhikkhunis in an excessive way. It is rumored that he lived in association with the bhikkhunis as follows: "If any bhikkhu, in front of him, slanders those bhikkhunis, he will immediately become angry, disgruntled, and immediately question him; if If any bhikkhuni, in front of those bhikkhunis, slanders him, those bhikkhunis will be angry, displeased, and immediately question him." Phagguna, do you live in association with bhikkhunis like this? -- The Blessed One, there is such a thing. -- Hey Phagguna, are you a good man who, out of faith, left home and left home, living without family? -- Yes, venerable sir. -- It is unworthy, Phagguna, for you, a good man, to have gone forth out of faith, renounced the home, and lived without family, but living in contact with bhikkhunis in an excessive way as so. Therefore, Phagguna, if anyone in your presence speaks ill of those bhikkhunis, Phagguna, you must give up worldly desires, worldly thoughts. You must learn, Phagguna, thus: "May my mind not be corrupted! May I not speak evil words! May I live with compassion, with compassion, without embracing anger!" This is how you must learn, Phagguna. Therefore, Phagguna, if anyone in front of you strikes these bhikkhunis with his hand, throws them with earth, hits them with sticks, and hits them with swords, Phagguna, you must give up sensual pleasures... not embrace hatred. This is how you must learn, Phagguna. Therefore, Phagguna, if anyone in front of you speaks ill of (who), Phagguna, you must give up sensual pleasures... not hold a grudge. This is how you must learn, Phagguna. Therefore, Phagguna, if anyone in front of you strikes with your hand, throws with earth, strikes with a stick, and strikes with a sword, Phagguna, you must renounce worldly desires, worldly thoughts. customary. You must learn, Phagguna, thus: "May my mind not be corrupted! May I not speak evil words! May I live with compassion, with compassion, without embracing anger!" This is how you must learn, Phagguna. Then the Blessed One said to the monks: -- Monks, there was a time when my bhikkhus had a very mature mind, rejoicing. Here, bhikkhus, I say to the bhikkhus, bhikkhus, I follow the practice of zazen. Monks, living according to the best practice of zazen, I feel no sickness, no sickness, lightness, health and well-being. Monks, you should live according to the practice of zazen. Monks, if you follow the practice of zazen, you will feel no sickness, no sickness, lightness, health and well-being. Male-stilts, I do not need to teach anything for the Male-stilts; Monks, I just need to arouse recollection in those bhikkhus. Monks, for example, on level ground, at a crossroads, there is a chariot parked, with a good horse, with a whip placed horizontally. There was a skilled horseman, a charioteer who tamed horses worthy of being tamed, and mounted on that chariot, With the left hand holding the reins, the right hand holding the whip, you can drive the chariot back and forth, where and how, as you like. Likewise, the Male-stilts, I do not need to teach the Male-stilts that; Monks, I just need to arouse recollection in those bhikkhus. Therefore, bhikkhus, give up unwholesomeness, strive for wholesome dhammas, so that ye will attain maturity, flourish, and flourish in this Dhamma and Discipline. Monks, as well as near a village or small town, there is a large forest of tala trees, a forest covered with ylang-ylang vines. There is a person who comes to this forest, wants to benefit the forest, wants to be happy, wants to be safe from the yoke of the forest. He cut off bent branches that lacked vitality, threw them out of the forest, and cleaned the forest clean. He takes good care of the upright, well-growing tala branches. Monks, after a while, such a forest matures, flourishes, and grows. In the same way, bhikkhus, you should abandon unwholesome things, and strive for wholesome dhammas, so that you will attain maturity, prosperity, Monks, in the past, in this city of Savatthi, there was a female householder named Vedehika. Monks, the following auspicious rumor arose about the female householder Vedehika: "The female householder Vedehika is gentle, the female householder Vedehika is gentle; the female householder Vedehika is mild." Monks, the female householder Vedehika has a servant girl named Kali, who is skillful, diligent, and diligent in her work. The Female-stilts, the maidservant Kali arose the thought: "My master is rumored to be good as follows: "The female householder Vedehika is sage; female householder Vedehika is agreeable; the mistress of the house Vedehika is peaceful." Whether my mistress has an inner courtyard but does not reveal it, or does not have an inner courtyard, or because of my careful work, my mistress has an inner courtyard but does not reveal it, not without. Then let's try my mistress!" Monks, then the maidservant Kali got up very late the next morning. Monks, the female householder Vedehika said to the maid Kali: -- Hey Kali! -- Madam, what's the matter? -- Why are you up so late today? -- Madam, what's the matter? -- Is it really nothing? Evil maid, you woke up late today!" And the mistress was indignant, disgruntled, glaring. The Male-stilts, the female servant Kali thought: "My mistress really has internal anger, but she does not reveal it, not without it. Because of the work I do carefully and thoroughly, my mistress, although I have internal anger, but not showing, not without. Then let's try more of my mistress!" The bhikkhus, then the maidservant Kali got up later the next day. Monks, the mistress Vedehika said to the maidservant Kali: -- Hey Kali! -- Madam, what's the matter? -- Why are you up so late today? -- Madam, what's the matter? -- Is it really nothing? Evil maid, you woke up late today! And the mistress was indignant, disgruntled, uttering disgruntled words. The Male-stilts, the female servant Kali thought: "My mistress really has an inner courtyard, but she does not reveal it, not without it. Because of the work I do carefully and thoroughly, my mistress does have an inner courtyard, though. but not revealed, not without. Then let's try more of my mistress!" The bhikkhus, then the maidservant Kali got up even later the next morning. Monks, the mistress Vedehika said to the maidservant Kali: -- Hey Kali! -- Madam, what's the matter? -- Why are you up so late today? -- Madam, what's the matter? -- Is it really nothing? Evil maid, you woke up late today! Then, indignant and displeased, she took the bolt of the door and struck the maidservant on the head with a blow that broke her head. The bhikkhus, the maidservant Kali, with her head bleeding, went and told the neighbors: -- Look at the deeds of the gentle hostess! Look at the work of the docile hostess! Look at the work of the peaceful hostess! Why did the mistress say to the only maidservant: "You got up late today", and then indignant and disgruntled, she took the latch of the door, hit me on the head and broke my head. Monks, after a while, the following bad rumor arose about the mistress Vedehika: "The mistress Vedehika is wicked! The mistress Vedehika is unkind! The mistress Vedehika is not peaceful!" In the same way, bhikkhus, here a bhikkhu is very gentle, very docile, and very mild, while not being offended by disagreeable or offensive words. And, bhikkhus, only when a bhikkhu is offended by disagreeable and insulting words that he is still very meek, very docile, and very mild, then he is considered a sage. good, new is considered favorable, is considered moderate. Monks, I do not call a bhikkhu easy to speak, when he is easy to talk about with things such as robes, food, chairs, and medicine for illness, when he has attained ease of speech. Why? Monks, that bhikkhu, when he is deprived of such things as robes, food, beds, medicine, and medicine, is no longer easy to speak, no longer attains the nature of ease of speech. Monks and bhikkhus who respect the Dharma, revere the Dharma, and revere the Dharma become easy to speak, and attain the nature of being easy to speak, that is what I call easy to speak. Therefore, Now, bhikkhus, think: "Just because we respect the Dharma, respect the Dharma, and revere the Dharma, we will become easy to speak, attaining easy-to-speak." Monks, you must study like this. Monks, there are five kinds of language that you may use when speaking to others: timely or untimely, truthful or untruthful, pliable or rough, beneficial or unhelpful, with loving-kindness or with aversion. Monks, when speaking to others, you may speak at the right time or at the wrong time. Monks, when speaking to others, you may speak truthfully or speak untruthfully. Monks, when speaking to others, you may speak soft or harsh words. When you speak to others, bhikkhus, you may speak beneficial or unprofitable words. When you speak to others, bhikkhus, you can speak with loving-kindness or with anger. Here, bhikkhus, you should learn the following: "We will keep our minds untainted, we will not utter bad words, we will live with compassion, with a heart of compassion, with a heart free of anger. We will live to surround this person with a mind that is in conjunction with loving-kindness. And with this person as an object, I live in fullness throughout the world with a mind that is connected with words, boundless in space, without hatred, without anger.” Monks, you need to study. Monks, suppose a man comes, holding a shovel and a basket, saying thus: "I will make this great land no more earth," and he digs here and there, scatters earth here and there, spitting here and there, urinating here and there, thinking: "You become not earth, you become not earth". Monks, what do you think? Can he make this great land not earth? -- The Blessed One, no. Why? Since this great earth is deep and immeasurable, it is not easy to make this great earth non-earth, before one becomes weary and defeated. -- Likewise, bhikkhus, there are these five kinds of language by which you can speak to others: "Timely or untimely... or with anger in mind". The Male-stilts, when speaking to others, you can say: "Right time... or with anger". Here, bhikkhus, you should learn the following: "We will keep our minds unstained; we will not utter evil words; we will live with compassion. , with a heart of compassion, with an inner mind free from anger; we will live this person with a mind of friendship with loving-kindness. loving-kindness, generosity, boundless, no hatred, no anger". Monks, you need to study like this. Male-stilts, like a person coming, holding paint color, yellow, dark blue or burgundy color; he may say thus: "I will write forms in this space. I will make forms manifest". Monks, what do you think? Can he write forms on space and make forms manifest? -- Venerable Sir, it is not possible. Why? World-Honored One, space is formless and cannot be seen. Here, it is not easy to write the forms and make the forms manifest, before one gets tired and fails. -- Likewise, bhikkhus, there are these five kinds of language by which you can speak to others: "Timely or untimely... or with ill will... (as above)... And With this person as the object, I live pervasively throughout the world with a mind that is com- pany with loving-kindness, generous, boundless, without hatred, without anger." Monks, you should study like this. Monks, suppose a person comes, holds a bundle of burning hay and says thus: "I and this bundle of burning hay will heat and boil this Ganges. Monks, you think. Can he, with the burning hay, heat and boil the Ganges? -- The Blessed One, no. Why? Venerable sir, because the Ganges is deep and immeasurable, it is not easy for a bundle of burning hay to heat and boil the Ganges, before one is exhausted and defeated. "In the same way, monks, there are these five kinds of language by which you can speak to others: "Timely or out of time... or with anger in mind". Monks, when speaking to other people, you may say: "At the right time... or with anger... (as above). throughout the world with a mind connected with loving-kindness, generous, boundless, without hatred, without anger." Monks, you should study like this. "Bhikkhus, it is like a bag made of cat skin, well-tanned, well-tamed, well-tamed all over, pliable, like cotton, without hissing or crackling sound, and a man comes, holding a staff. or take a batch of earthenware and say thus: "I will take a stick or with a clay pot and make this cat-skin bag, which is well-tanned, well-tanned, well-tanned all over, soft, like cotton, and no longer exists. hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss". Monks, what do you think? He can, with a stick or with a clay pot, make this cat-skin bag that is well-tanned, well-tanned, well-tanned all over, soft, like cotton, without hissing or crackling sound. hissing, crackling sound okay? -- The Blessed One, no. Why? Venerable Sir, this cat skin bag has been tanned, well tanned, well tawned all over, soft, like cotton, no longer hissing sound, it's not easy to make that bag make a hissing sound, sloppy sound, before he gets tired and fails. -- Likewise, bhikkhus, there are five kinds of language that you can use when speaking to others: "Timely or untimely, truthful or unreal, soft or rough, beneficial or beneficial. beneficial or unprofitable, with loving-kindness or ill-will." Monks, when speaking to others, you may speak at the right time or at the wrong time. Monks, when speaking to others, you may speak truthfully or speak untruthfully. Monks, when speaking to others, you may speak softly or speak harshly. Monks, when speaking to others, you may speak beneficial or unprofitable words. When you speak to others, bhikkhus, you may speak with loving-kindness or with aversion. Here, bhikkhus, you should learn the following: "We will keep our minds unaltered, we will not utter evil words; we will live with compassion, with compassion, with an inner mind free of anger. We will live this person completely with a mind that is compatible with words. And with this person as the object, I live pervasively throughout the world with a mind entwined with loving-kindness, generous, boundless, without hatred, without anger." Monks, you should learn thus. The Female-stilts, like lowly bandits, use a double-edged saw to saw their hands and feet; however, if anyone here develops a disordered mind, he or she is therefore not a practitioner of My teachings. Here, bhikkhus, you must learn the following: "We will keep our minds unstained; we will not utter evil words; we will live with compassion, with a mind of our own. With compassion, with an inner mind free of anger, we will live around this person with a mind that is connected with loving kindness and with this person as an object, we will live in abundance throughout the world with a mind that is connected with loving kindness and generosity. , boundless, no hate, no anger". Monks, you should study like this. And, bhikkhus, if you were always reflecting on this teaching like the saw, then, bhikkhus, would you see any kind of language, whether subtle or rough, that you would not be patient with? okay? -- The Blessed One, no. -- Therefore, monks, always meditate on this saw-like teaching, and you will be happy and peaceful for a long time. Thus the Blessed One preached. Those bhikkhus rejoiced and believed in the Blessed One's words.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.18/9/2021.
