THE ANALYST 18 arahat. Thich Tri As Quoted in the book tears of a monk There is a historical story about the inspiration of the 18 Arhats is inversely related to the study and agreement study. When the Jinzhou ancient China there are two temples. One is the International Water Tu Tu Huong Tich two are separated by more than ten miles. As part of a Self-Made Cards Pond well water, gas containing more flexible. Many people visit the temple to taste water from a pond, the rocks are amazingly healing. There are no children to the temple to ask the delivery of drinking water boys, girls are like wishes. So rumors spread that thousands of men and women young and old big baby about International Marine pulling together to attend and would own drinking water. The king then offered drinking water is also becoming healthy body tissue, hundreds of patients are tan. Water Self-Made famous as alcohol. Every day there are people who stood in the temple would line up waiting for water treatment. Cash donations of the Vietnamese people can not tell all. At that time the new temple repaired power lines magnificent spacious rooms able to accommodate the thousands of monks. One day it has not been busy welcoming pilgrims to worship Buddha. 18, the name suddenly appear bum clothes torn and always fragile than hunger. Eighteen beggar told the temple monks are governed ask alms offered a meal. The increase of beggars in the temple that our clothes were not torn pity, to intentionally chase. But 18 is still begging to be the reason. After all the temple sending out a network of four influential bum that: "This is the Buddha, how can the Holy Land containing four dirty bum hungry as rice people. Mau mau get out of the Buddha " . The beggar's dark and lament the cold wind that does not have rice to eat, just ask for the temple at night and go right. The largest increase in the temple said: "There is no room for you to sleep, to rest it to the Pagoda in the Huong Tich" . Then he sent ten monks led four beggars out of the gate. Four beggars suddenly looked up to heaven on that same song. "innocence that goes, the custom of the coast. Compassion to heart, the teacher duty up, the list of enterprises which benefit nursing home ma. Clear causal buddhas in mind " . Eighteen the beggar left, the back up of the temple is very intimidating when seen on the walls of the temple are writing a sentence: "Made up of Mercury not only save an increased burning incense " . They come, not business people cleaned up the wrong words. But as clean as it is a better word. He sent the abbot of smashing walls to rebuild new, but when completed, the words themselves that it is still unclear. Then from that day the water in the pond suddenly no longer pure black ngom nor inspired again like old times again. Who should take the ground that had been left abdominal pain. How then are no longer Vietnamese people to the temple to make offerings to more outside the few miles to get water for use. Next in the temple to a disaster is a constant murder. Then the next four invaders arrested in the capital city and testimony three years ago the name of our leaders have conceded and ordained at the First International Marine pride increases. As word of this testimony that the king commanded the forfeiture of all the wealth of temples around the imperial treasury. Nearly a thousand people had no reason to increase the offerings to the temple was stripped away before. Enter the product, the temple was way to big revenues to local government for soldiers in barracks. The great hero to save the post office, for the remaining increase to Dharma. After all since no one offered more, so only a frail old man rose in the lo volunteers navigate through the temple. From the Self-Made Cards nobody reminded again. Speaking of Huong Tich pagoda only three monks practice there. Everyday experience an opening chapter shelf life of meager parts. The situation does not have the same duties lead to temple seems more ragged look very poor. 18 That night the beggar was expelled from the International Marine Self straight path to Huong Tich Pagoda. The Master saw three beggars hungry too, the very mercy tearing hurry together to get firewood for heating up the bum. A kitchen to cook entertained. It also prepares resting. The temple does not have enough blankets. The new Abbot remove the door 18 in the temple to bed to get them together in three rooms as straw mattress is warm to support cold bum. The monk to talk to each other: "Or we split the village of How charming to see if the rich abundance of it borrowed little blankets for sleeping bum support " . Finished, then divided into two neighbors. A meal at the temple lo. At that time the sun is late then. There is a Chief of Police went to bed a dream that has 18 Arhats coming down the sisterhood. The hand-raising in earnest a square yellow sea sea eight words engraved: "Us good candidates, all organic post-blessed" (happy ham healing is surely giving a blessing and later). How they dreamed awake shock, designed to be notified in person at the door two monks to ask alms giving blanket. Surveillance chief to think just then immediately omen dreams in order to bring samples of 13 soft cotton wagon to Huong Tich temple offerings. That night the warm sleep your bum is delicious in the temple. Early morning wake up the monks wondered tables together. If you bum a night here and go do not tell you at risk of many days, how lo complete meals. In the temple there is not much food a long time. Rice is also limited. Table is complete, all three are as one said: "On the occasion of your bum while sleeping on the alms I should again see what there was little enough food to feed treated bum" . Finished all three colors quick, quick release bicycle snow out of the temple into which direction to aim. So too should have used many snow shovels snow that HOT. Suddenly all three voice echoed from nowhere: "Do the snow up here we go again" . The three Master stopped and saw a group of people quickly soared and soon disappeared in the mist. The three said together: "The beggar was gone affordable? Or we review the Temple " . Three of the old ways that are not on the door right direction to go. That's where you see the shadow of the team who glide. Weird is not seen footprints in the snow. Venerable Abbot gallop into the bedroom where 18 is the more beggars than amazing! On the bed there is no shadows. Talking about the Police Chief position in bed that night back in the next dream: he saw the 18 Arhats is in front. An said: "You do not have a life which her ​​son. Since you have good idea so we give you a son. Henceforth ye sincere Buddhist guardian, his son would later bright future as distinguished lineage " . Through the night, but having two points A dream that Police Chief Arhat should now be given to Wondering Huong Tich to visit the Abbot said that the situation? Welcoming the Chief of Police, and he recounts the eighteen beggar would have slept in the temple and then suddenly without saying a word to deform away. Then the three went up to collect blankets for the return. Strangely enough! He saw on the door to the bed plate 18 is clearly the image of the 18 Arhats lifelike. Three groups of monks and the Police Chief of the business. decided not to take the Chief Surveillance quilts and giving back is always the wagon and then the next day that he proposed with the Master to allow him to borrow money of workers casting the 18 Arhats to worship in the temple. At the same time also to rebuild the power lines to protect the tower and repaired all the old garden to make it dignified. Since then, Huong Tich Self becomes a famous landscapes and people, renamed La Han Tu. Good men and women from the believers from the pulling together of Buddha temple offerings, no less generous in the past Self Made Cards. Although Tu Huong Tich now become glorious splendor, but the heart of the Venerable monk there is still pure. Three years later in the winter cold, heavy snow crowded bay. Suddenly there was a monk himself in earnest to the name and wanted to see abbot. He is the former abbot of Self-year old Marine Products. Listen to the area of La Han Shui Self Made Self abbot sighed a long recovery took forever known words: "In ancient Thay Huong Tich your own with our own hydroelectric close but narrowly, I have not not walk through, just listen to his disciples said, laughing at Huong Tich skeptical self disintegrates. I just smile, reality is that hope auroral happy whisper. Then just pull a Self-Made Cards hair can also help a lot for Self-Huong Tich, where my old man did not have to load some point. Mercury Auto Manufacturers increasingly affluent, the Buddha's mind up on a target they ma. Finally, there is only interest money, lost buddha mind. Each day burning incense chanting Sutras Buddha to soon lock key-way, in essence also want to credit them to cheat, to get money. Seeing the beggar eighteen, they immediately hate dirty poverty, not a rambling heart may have good direction. Look not a single shirt eighteen cold, dark night to see if pursuing them how life and death? I several years of external charges, meals wind is dew on the name painted across a large temple. Everywhere heard in earnest Self galaxy known, I would not believe. Geriatric loaded at Cam Chau decades, have never heard Arhat Temple. Today back to Cam Chau, would like to know how the first tail? New or La Han Tu Huong Tich is former self. Aging increases the cost of thousands of miles, did not know the living Buddha in front. Until now it was a shame to think like appearance " . Arhat abbot Self said: "Aging dare to take up where the word broadcast. A monastic life is only three words like greed, hatred wash si only. A little less ego, less the minister's fall, local religious mind a piece of blue sky, clouds do not want miles. Only that was about it, real hard to keep up with the shadow of great virtue predecessors " . Venerable Abbot International Water Resources Self said: "I went to La Han Tu was silent for several days to consider. Because of the weather today is very different from the old self in earnest. Lao Buddhist remains in the living room of this old farm on the date of travel, compared to old flowers was loaded in the old trenches is like heaven to earth. County forest without food, the vast sky. Whether rich or poor appearance, in our old living Buddha nor food. At that age was to increase foreign holding all internal charming grace, lose their own mind, heart to heart Buddhist coins crushed to death, so the new business you Arahat. I think the Arahat coming to the Self-Made Water is saved because we want to jump out of the fire pit, so we did not belong to such as saving, whereas with increasing malice of my temple chase the bucket. Then if there are people who say to me, I was not to be true. Every day thousands of people into believers, the people are worth spending eighteen? Wait until it has letters on the wall with no door and clean out, I think that there is room not stable. As Mercury Auto Manufacturers ruins now only have a registered supervisors. Regardless of what to do, not attached to this poll. This is only a question of age is broadcast straight to the heart .- Lao Buddhist abbot joke! - Lao Buddhist .- Not living in a center at Huong Tich Self and Self-centered in earnest now, with no slightest change may, in pure light, not a speck of dust contamination, it opens is to make it easy do so? I went back this time, also because he wanted to be in La Han Tu, as a trivial increase, by almost beside the old living Buddha, practice again, if the day was a little enlightenment, nor phen wasted a renunciation, a life that made ​​up " . Lao hydropower Self abbot save the temple, located in the old room next to the old abbot Arhat Temple. Venerable Abbot lying sleepless night, This makes Mercury Auto Manufacturers abbot was very impressed. Daily, La Han Tu leaving two or three good men increase credit exposure to women, largely left open to the poor economic. And the other is up in the meditation room retreats, religious solemnity. Self Made abbot aquatic resources through a hard hard phen Buddha mind steadfast, diligent. Finally, together with the Abbot of La Han Tu parallel over the right results. Nothing, this is the story of enlightened mind. This story has given us a lesson about the practice. And also to warn the monks take steps to nowhere good watch list maintenance. Temple to a large audience not necessarily reflect the religious merit. It is just as blessed by a certain grace only. If not careful, one day the religious law of impermanence also eliminated all. Because we live in a context of life unreal, futile insubstantiality.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY BACH LIEN HOA.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).24/1/2012.
