The Buddha's Precepts About Dharma Magic.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
BUDDHA ABOUT THE Miracle of Magic
The Buddha and the Venerable Bhikkhu Sangha settled down at Mount Makula in the country of Magadha. An incident happened, the rich man Rajagaha had a very precious red agarwood tree, he gave a lathe a bowl and hung it on a tall tree and announced that:
- In this life, if there is anyone who is an Arahant, who has supernatural powers, ask him to fly up to take this bowl of incense, I will generate faith in him.
The six groups of non-Buddhists who often claim to be an Arahant with many supernatural powers, all came to the rich man to offer that bowl, but the rich man said:
- If you are an Arahant with supernatural powers, then please fly up and take the bowl down here.
For the past 6 days, no one has been able to fly up to get that bowl of bass. The people of Rajagaha thought to themselves that in this life there is no Arahant?
On the 7th day, Venerable Mahāmoggallāna and Venerable Piṇḍobhāradvāja went for alms in the city of Rājagaha, upon hearing the news, Venerable Mahāmoggallāna told Venerable Venerable Piṇḍobhāradvāja to fly up to take a bass bowl, to bring about faith. for everyone.
The Venerable Piṇḍobhāradvāja transformed the magic and flew up to take the bowl, then flew 3 times around the city of Rajagaha, then landed lightly at the rich man's house. The rich man generated pure faith, invited him into the castle, sat on the noble seat, then bowed to him and accepted the bowl, offering delicious food to the Venerable.
Venerable Piṇḍobhāradvāja returned to the temple, there were a large number of people who had not seen him perform miracles with their own eyes, so they pulled together to find him, asking him to perform miracles for them to see.
At that time, the World-Honored One knew what had happened, so he assembled the Bhikkhu Sangha, and the Blessed One rebuked the Venerable Piṇḍobhāradvāja, saying:
“Piṇḍobhāradvāja, there is only this bowl of bass, that I perform miracles for lay people to see. It was not Samon's job to generate faith for the unbeliever.
That is the first reason, the Buddha's regulation forbade bhikkhus not to perform miracles for lay people to see. A bhikkhu who demonstrates supernatural powers, that bhikkhu commits evil deeds (dukkaṭa).
After that, the Buddha instructed to break the agarwood bowl into small pieces, finely ground to make eye drops for bhikkhus with eye pain.
The archetype in the Vinaya Pitaka, Cullavagga:
“At that time, a rich man in Rajagaha had a sandalwood log of a very precious type. At that time, the great rich man of Rajagaha had this idea: "Shall I make a bowl with this piece of sandalwood? And the wood chips will be mine, and the bowl I will give as a gift.”
After that, the rich man of Rajagaha made a bowl with that sandalwood log, and tied it with a string and asked to hang it on the top of a bamboo tree, then tied many bamboos one after another and declared that:
- The recluse or brahmin who is an Arahant and has supernatural powers, take the bowl as a gift.
At that time, Pūraṇa Kassapa went to see the rich man of Rājagaha, and after arriving said this to the rich man of Rājagaha:
- O householder, I am an Arahant and have supernormal powers, please offer me the bowl.
- Sir, if you are an Arahant and have supernatural powers, then you should take the gift of the bowl down.
Then Makkhali Gosāla, Ajita Kesakambala, Pakudha Kaccāyana, Sañjaya Velaṭṭhaputta, Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta went to the rich man of Rājagaha, and after arriving said this to the great rich man of Rājagaha:
- O householder, I am an Arahant and have supernatural powers, please offer me the bowl.
- Sir, if you are an Arahant and have supernatural powers, then you should take the gift of the bowl down.
At that time, the Venerable Mahāmoggallāna and the Venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja in the morning put on their robes, took their bowls and robes, and entered Rajagaha for alms. Venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja is an Arahant and has supernatural powers again. The Venerable Mahāmoggallāna is also an Arahant and has supernormal powers. Then the venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja said to the venerable Mahāmoggallāna this:
- Venerable Mahāmoggallāna, go and take down that bowl. That bowl belongs to the venerable one.
Venerable Mahāmoggallāna also said to Venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja this:
- Venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja, go and take down the other bowl. That bowl belongs to the venerable one.
Then the venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja flew into the air, took the bowl and bowl, and walked (in the air) three times around Rajagaha.
At that time, the rich man of Rajagaha, with his wife and children, were standing in their house, with their hands clasped together, and respectfully bowed, saying:
- Venerable Sir, please, Venerable Bharadvāja, come to our house in this place.
Then the venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja went to the residence of the rich man of Rajagaha. At that time, the rich man of Rajagaha took the bowl from the hand of the venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja, filled it with expensive hard food, and offered it back to the venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja. At that time, the Venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja took the bowl back and went back to the temple.
The people heard that: "It is said that the bowl of the great rich man of Rajagaha was taken down by the venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja." And those people with loud noises followed one another after the venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja. The Blessed One heard the noise and tumult, and after hearing it said to the venerable Ānanda:
“What is that tumultuous and tumultuous sound, Ānanda?”
- Venerable Sir, the bowl of the rich man of Rajagaha was taken down by the Venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja. Venerable Sir, people have heard that: "It is said that the bowl of the rich man of Rajagaha has been taken down by the venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja." And, venerable sir, those people with loud and noisy sounds followed one another after the venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja. World-Honored One, that tumultuous and tumultuous sound is that.
At that time, the World-Honored One, on account of that fact, summoned an assembly of bhikkhus and asked the venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja that:
- Bhāradvāja, it is said that the bowl of the rich man of Rajagaha has been taken down by you, is that true?
- White World-Honored One, that's right.
The Buddha, the Blessed One, reprimanded that:
- This, Bharadvāja, is not right, not reasonable, not good, not worthy of the recluse, not allowed, should not do. Why, Bharadvāja, do you expose the superior dharma, the miracle of miracles, in front of the lay people for the sake of an ordinary wooden bowl? Bhāradvāja, like a woman showing her private space for the sake of a petty coin; Similarly, Bhāradvāja, for the sake of the commonplace wooden bowl, the dhamma, the miracle of magic, has been revealed by you to the lay people. This, Bharadvāja, does not give faith to those who are not yet believers, or increase the faith of those who have faith. Furthermore, Bhāradvāja, it is this fact that brings about distrust among the unbelievers and changes the (belief) of some who have faith.
After reprimanding him, he gave a Dharma talk and told the bhikkhus:
- The Bhikkhu khưu, should not reveal the law of superiors ie the miracle of magic in front of the row at home; Any position to reveal is guilty of dukkaṭa (evil). Bhikkhus, break that bowl, grind it into crumbs, and then offer it to the bhikkhus as the spice of a medicinal herb. O monks, should not use wooden bowls; whoever uses it commits a dukkaṭa (evil action)” (Khuddakavatthukkhandhakaṁ – Chapter of minor affairs).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.
