Every night, singing and dancing groups performed for Prince Yasa to see and delight his ears. One day, while watching a performance, Prince Yasa fell asleep; When the choirs saw that the prince was asleep, they all stopped, then lay down on the stage and fell asleep.

The prince said to himself: Good wits, affliction is extremely miserable! Good wisdom, affliction is extremely dangerous! Prince Yasa left home. The gods opened the door for the son to come out naturally, not daring to interfere with the son's ordination. Prince Yasa went in the direction to the deer-liberating forest called Isipatana. At the last watch of the night, the Blessed One was walking outside, seeing Yasa coming from afar, he stopped and spread his seat. At that time, Prince Yasa said while walking: Good wits, affliction is extremely miserable! Good wisdom, affliction is extremely dangerous! The World-Honored One called the son Yasa, and taught him: "Yasa, there is no misery in Nirvana! Nirvana has no danger! Hey Yasa, come and sit down here, and the Tathagata will preach the Dharma to save you." Prince Yasa listened to the call of the Blessed One, and clearly heard that: "This Nirvana has no troubles This Nirvana has no dangers." Prince Yasa was happy, took off his golden sandals, went barefoot to pay homage to the Blessed One, and listened to his sermons; After listening to the Dharma, Prince Yasa generated meditative wisdom, which led to the realization of the truth of the Four Noble Truths, the attainment of the Noble Path of Stream-entry and the attainment of Nirvana, and of becoming a Stream-winner in that place. .

Seeing the rich man coming from afar, the Blessed One thought: "The Tathagata should use magical powers to obscure Yasa, not letting him see Yasa." The rich man came to the Blessed One and said: - Dear World Honored One, do you see Yasa, the son of the family? White Sir. The Buddha taught that: - Householder, sit down, it is here that you will meet Yasa, the son of the family. The rich man listened to the Buddha's teaching like this, felt secure and happy, paid homage to the Blessed One, and sat down at a reasonable place. The World-Honored One preached the Dharma to save the rich man by means of dharmas in sequence: giving, keeping the precepts, giving birth to the heavens, the sins of the five worlds, the treasures of avoiding the five worlds. When it is clear that the rich man has a pure, easy-to-teach good heart; The Buddha preached the Four Noble Truths: The Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth, the Truth of Cessation, and the Truth of Dao. The rich man generated meditative wisdom, leading to the realization of the truth of the Four Noble Truths, the attainment of the Noble Truth of Stream-entry, the Saint of Stream-entry, and of Nirvana, and the becoming a Saint of Stream-entry. The rich man praised and praised the Blessed One, took refuge in the Buddha Bao, the Dharma Treasure, and the Sangha, and said: "Dear World Honored One, I respectfully take refuge in you.

Please recognize me as a male follower who has taken refuge in the Three Jewels, from today until my whole life." Thus, the rich man, the father of son Yasa, was the first male confidant who took refuge in the Three Jewels in the teaching of Buddha Gotama. Called Tevacikasara-ṇagamana.

He immediately released his miraculous powers, the rich man saw that Prince Yasa was also sitting there, and said: - Hey Yasa, your mother is sad and crying, because she can't see you, give her life back. of your mother! When he heard his father say this, Prince Yasa raised his face to look at the Blessed One. The Blessed One knew well that the rich man, the father of son Yasa, was now a Stream-winner, had taken refuge in the Three Jewels, had completely pure faith in the Three Jewels, and was unshakable. He then asked the rich man with the general idea that: - Hey rich man, how do you perceive this? Who is a stream-enterer saint who has meditative wisdom, has realized the truth of the Four Noble Truths, and has attained Nirvana just like me. That stream-entry saint continued to practice wisdom meditation, which led to self-realization of the One-Returning-Saint-Returning Path, the Noble Path of Non-returning-Saint-Returning, up to the Holy Path of Arahantship, the Holy Fruit of Arahantship, and Nirvana. The table becomes an Arahant, cutting off all afflictions, cravings, and evil dharmas without any residue. O rich man, can that Arahant return to the lowly life of a layman, enjoying the passions of the five worlds, like the life of a layman before? The rich man told the Blessed One that: - Dear World Honored One, that is impossible. White Sir. - O rich man, Yasa, the son of the family, is a Stream-winner, has the wisdom of meditation, has realized the truth of the Four Noble Truths, and has attained Nirvana, just like you. Yasa continued to practice wisdom meditation, which led to the attainment of the Noble One-Returning Path, the Noble One-Returning Path, the Non-Returning Noble Path, the Noble Path of Arahantship, and the Nirvana becoming a Noble One. Arahant annihilates all afflictions, cravings, and evils without any residue. This rich man, now Yasa, the son of the family who is an Arahant, cannot return to the lowly life of the householder, enjoying the passion in the five worlds like the life of a householder before. When the Buddha preached to the rich man who understood the disposition of Prince Yasa, he was now a noble Arahant, completely different from before as an ordinary mortal. Listening to the Buddha's lecture, the rich man was extremely happy and said: - Dear World-Honored One, Yasa, the son of the family, has a great blessing. Dear World-Honored One, Yasa, the son of a noble family, enjoys noble benefits. Yasa became an Arahant, completely liberated from the sufferings of the cycle of death. Dear World-Honored One, I respectfully request the Blessed One and Yasa to come and live tomorrow at our residence. The Buddha accepted the word by silence. The rich man knew that the Blessed One had accepted his invitation, respectfully bowed to the Blessed One, asked for permission to return home, informed his family, met Yasa and invited the Buddha and Yasa to come and eat food the next day. at home.

You become a bhikkhu according to your will, the right dharma that the Tathagata has taught perfectly the first, the middle, and the end, practice the noble conduct leading to the end of the Truth of Suffering. When the World-Honored One had finished speaking, Prince Yasa immediately became a bhikkhu with all eight items of Sammon, born of merit, in a dignified Sangha, like a Venerable with 60. lower age.
