That day, when the ascetic Kāḷadevila finished the afternoon in King Suddhodana's palace, he went up to the heaven of the Thirty-three heavens to rest for lunch in a castle, to sit in meditation to enjoy peace in meditation-- determined.
After leaving the meditation, the Taoist stood in front of the door, and seeing King Sakka and the gods, the gods and goddesses rejoiced and cheered in an unusual way, unlike every other day. The Taoist then asked:
- Hey, you gods! Why are you so happy today, cheering and singing with such extraordinary joy. Can you tell the poor to hear?
The gods said:
- Dear Sir, today the Crown Prince of King Suddhodana has been born. When the Crown Prince matures, he will leave the palace to go forth and become the Buddha of Perfect Enlightenment, preaching the Dharma-turning-dharma to all beings: human beings, gods, and Brahmas. Heaven has the opportunity to listen to the right dharma, then practice according to the right dharma, leading to the realization of the truth of the four noble truths, the attainment of the 4 Noble Truths, the 4 Holy Fruits, Nirvana, and liberation suffering, birth and death, samsara in the three worlds.
That is the reason why we are so happy and excited, shouting and singing so unusually!
After listening to the deva's reply, the ascetic Kāḷadevila immediately descended from the realm of the Thirty-three gods, entered the palace of King Suddhodana, and the king reverently welcomed him, invited to sit in a noble seat, the King finished paying his respects and sat down in a proper place.
Then the ascetic Kāḷadevila asked:
- Dear Great King, the poor Daoist heard that the Crown Prince of the Great King was born, and the poor way would like to admire the Crown Prince.
King Suddhodana ordered the Prince to change his clothes, then asked the Prince to come out and pay respects to the Taoist Kāḷadevila. When inviting the Crown Prince to come out in front of the ascetic Kāḷadevila, the Bodhisattva Chiefly Enlightened Prince appeared to stand on the head of the Taoist Kāḷadevila with a steady posture. The ascetic Kāḷadevila realized that the Bodhisattva-Master Bodhisattva had extraordinary power, so the Taoist got up and moved down to a low seat, leaving the noble seat to the Bodhisatta. When slapping the noble Chief Enlightenment, the Taoist Kāḷadevila clasped his hands to pay homage to the Crown Prince.
Seeing the extraordinary power of his Crown Prince, King Suddhodana was extremely surprised, so for the first time, King Suddhodana paid homage to the Crown Prince, the Bodhisattva of Perfect Enlightenment.
Daoist Kāḷadevila Smiling And Weeping
The Taoist Kāḷadevila, who attained the eight stages of jhāna and the five knowledges of the three worlds, had the special ability to see clearly, to know clearly in the past forty aeons, and in the future forty aeons, thus including 80 eons. The Taoist Kāḷadevila uses his wisdom to see clearly, to know the future time of the Bodhisattva Chiefly Enlightened Prince, will have all 32 good marks of great people and 80 generals. good sub. The Taoist Kāḷadevila knew with certainty that:
"Without a doubt, this Crown Prince will definitely become the Buddha of Perfect Enlightenment."
Knowing this, the Taoist Kāḷadevila generated great joy and great joy, so he smiled.
Then the Taoist Kāḷadevila examined his condition and knew well that:
“I have not had the good fortune to meet the Perfectly Enlightened Buddha and have not had the opportunity to listen to the righteous Dharma of the Perfectly Enlightened Buddha, because, I will die before the Bodhisattva True Enlightenment. -The Crown Prince became the Buddha-Buddha-Enlightened-Enlightenment.
Furthermore, after I die, by the power of the fourth formless jhāna, “no-thought-non-perception-the land of good-hearted meditation will give the fruit of rebirth in the formless heaven-- world of non-perception-non-non-perception-land of heaven, with a long life span of 84,000 thousand great kalpas. Brahma in the formless realm has only four mental aggregates (the aggregate of feeling, perception, formations, and consciousness) only, no form aggregates, therefore, the Brahma realm of nothingness The form-sphere has no eyes to see the Buddha, no ears to hear the Buddha's true dharma, when the Buddha of Perfect Enlightenment appears in the world."
When the ascetic Kāḷadevila considered his condition and knew that he had no good conditions to meet the Buddha and could not hear the Buddha's true dharma, he felt pity, so he was moved to tears.
King Suddhodana, seeing the ascetic Kāḷadevila, sometimes smiling, sometimes crying, asked:
- Dear Master, has something unfortunate happened to your Crown Prince? White Sir.
The ascetic Kāḷadevila said:
- Your Excellency Great King, certainly nothing unfortunate happened to the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince will definitely become Buddha-Buddha-Enlightened-Enlightenment.
Knowing this, the poor Dao felt happy, extremely happy, smiled and also knew that he did not have good conditions to meet the Buddha and listen to the Buddha's righteous Dharma. Therefore, the poor path felt pity, so moved to cry.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.12/10/2021.
