Therefore, the monks, including the disciples of the Buddha, often suspend all activities to move to withdraw to deserted places.

Traditionally, the Buddha and his disciples were also invited on retreat at the monastery or the secluded garden. Sometimes he also retreated into the jungle. In the meantime, where the Buddha is the people of the region flock to hear French and tried to take the time to make his fortune.

Eighth House - at Bhesakala forest, near Sumsumara rock, in the county Bhagga.

Ninth House - at Kosambi. In this House have her create your own Magandiya a deep feud with the Buddha and seek every opportunity to stigmatize his reputation. Magandiya is a beautiful young woman born into a family of Brahmin caste. Ken re her parents, wanted to marry her only for worthwhile.

One day, looking at the world, Buddha realized the two men she met enough good, fully developed mentally. Out of compassion he wanted her two international levels should come to where the Buddha, he was sacrificed at Spirit Fire. Brahmin enchanted before taking nice shape of the Buddha and thought that this is indeed worthy of frozen ready-law he devoted long longs. He then invited the Buddha in his linger a little wait will rush back and asked her daughter. Then Buddha footprint intentionally stomped on the ground and go to another place nearby. When the brahmin who led his wife and daughters dressed in beautiful where they only see the footprints. Wives of good science minister, said that the footprint is not the ordinary people that is of very clean, had destroyed all desire. He mocked Brahmin wives and see the Buddha not far away, lead me to him, married to his proposal. The Buddha describes how he conquered desire as follows:

"Craving was found, discontent and ambition [2] We are not interested in the pleasures of love. body is filled with pollution this? I'd never touching it, oil just hit by foot . " [3]

Listen to this, two Brahmin grandparents enlightenment-returner, third stage of Sainthood. But she Magandhiya not understand, thought that such a scolding, humiliating her, should be taken as angry. Pride was touched, she thought: "If people do not need to tell the truth, that is, and so is entirely appropriate. Why did he even claimed that this body is filled with pollution? Very good! He will find, as born into the Brahmin caste, by clans, by their social status, wealth, and our charming young son, we will have a worthy husband and I will know about it what to do with Samana Gotama (Gautama). "

She later became the King's post-secondary Udena. Based on power at the time, she bribes and inciting clapperclaw Buddha and chased out of town. When the Buddha into the city, these people immediately shouted to him:

"He is a thief, silly name, is a frantic, as the camel, a cow, a donkey, is in hell beings, animals. He can not hope to be up leisure scene. Punishment and misery is all what he can expect. "

Venerable Ananda could not endure the curse so crude, to almost the Buddha and said:

"Sir, they are reviled and insulted us badly. Ask him to relocate. "

- Ananda, now we should go?

- Sir, to another town.

- If it is also where he cursed and insulted so then we're going to go?

- Sir, to go to another place again.

- Ananda, do not say that. Where difficulties in trouble, the place he had to settle right. The settlement is only when we have the right to go elsewhere. But this Ananda, who was cursing insults?

- Sir, everyone is cursing us. Those enslaved Dalits and everyone.

Buddha opportunity Venerable Ananda teaches patience executive as follows:

"1. As war elephants in battle, inspired leaders from four waves of the nose bullet fired to a deluge, it seems that we have to endure the curse cursed from anywhere. Yes indeed, the majority live without morality.

Two. Many elephants and horses were led to the king gathered. His elephants and horses from the crowd, the king chose to ride any maturity. Human crowd, most noble person of moral maturity, and enduring the curse.

3. Rather precious! The tame donkeys, horses like garbage origin of Sindh and the cutting board with ivory luxury objects. People mature, dignified moral than all. "[4]

And the Buddha taught Ananda Germany:

"Do not worry, these people are just cursed for seven days. By the eighth day they will silence. A difficult conversation happened to Buddha can not be longer than seven days. "[5]

Tenth House - in the forest Parileyyaka.

While seated Buddha in Kosambi, an argument occurred between two groups of monk - a good group of Business and a good group of law - because there's a violation to a minor is related to how to use the room hygiene. Proponents also split into two factions. Buddha stands out settlement obligation itself is not finished. Both sides showed a quarrelsome nature, and faith covertly continuing discord. Buddha thought:

"In the current situation, the crowd who tried to overwhelm the mind together, making the day's retreat becomes unstable. Furthermore we are not here to increase attention to our teachings. Shall we leave the crowd to seclusion in the forest ".

That instant, not to a monk said to leave him alone, to forests Parileyyaka, and enter the House under a tree root Sala (long life) beautiful.

According to the story is told area, this time with an elephant and a monkey as servant and worry all the needs for the Buddha. [6]

Kasibharadvaja Sutta Sutta, [7] narrated as follows:

The other a seated Buddha in Ekanala in Dakkhinagiri, a village in the parish Brahmanism Magadha. Then five hundred hands plowing the way for his work Kasibharadvaja Brahmin was about the same. Buddha robes carrying the bowl to where we are distributing food and supplies to step aside. Kasibharadvaja Brahmin saw that said, "Venerable, I plow and sow. After plowing and sowing, I eat. He, too, this venerable, he must plow and sow, plow and sow after, he will eat. "

- Hey Mr. Brahman, plow and sow Tathagata so well. Has finished plowing and sowing, Tathagata eat.

- But I can see where the plow, the yoke, or plow, nor of beef or cattle whip Venerable Gotama (Gautama), although Venerable said: "The Tathagata is also plowing and sowing. Has finished plowing and sowing, Tathagata eat. "

Venerable claiming to be farmers, but we can see where the Venerable plow lane. Venerable So please let us know where he plows?

Buddha replied:

"Faith (saddha) are seeds, discipline (tapo) is rain, wisdom (panna) is a plow and plow yoke, nuts modest (Hiri) is rolled plow, the mind (mano) the rein, and conception (sati) and left the ploughshare.

"Thus Come live with restrained senses, speech and food control. Tathagata true behavior used to cut off a dandelion. Achieving the Ultimate Performance Director (Arahant) is opening the drop wire cattle.

"So, effort (Viriya) is carrying heavy animals brought me to your unfettered state (Nirvana).

"Online only a straightforward, non-retrogression and went, no more sorrow.

"That, plow lane of the Tathagata is done like that. Consequently, it is the state of the Deathless.

"It is finished pulling plow lane is no longer depressed sadness again."

After listening, by Brahmins Kasibharadvaja than a cup of rice mixed with milk, offering to Buddha and said: "So please Venerable Gotama (Gautama) cup of rice mixed with milk! Venerable indeed is a farmer because he had planted a flowering fruit trees 'Immortal'. "

However, the Buddha refused cup of rice. He taught:

"The object actually received by the preaching of the Tathagata is not fit to use. He is Brahman, which is usual for the Supremely Enlightened One. Variable Tri chief who can not use it as the food. When this tradition is preserved, it is right livelihood.

"Only food and food items completely clean because the saint is still fertile fields for those who want, can plant the seeds well."

After hearing the answer, Brahmin took rejoicing, for refuge in the Three Jewels and invite the Buddha and Buddhist monks stayed at Lower Veranja enter. The Buddha accepted by silence.

Unfortunately, at that moment in a famine Veranja. Thus the Buddha and the monks used to feed horses. A person driving a horse-hearted offer of horse feed and rest angles with the Buddha as the food division was a totally cool.

During that time, Sariputta, a day after the publication of meditation, Buddhist and reverence to almost white: "White of the Buddha, the Buddha Dharma exists long and Dharma does not exist now? "The Buddha replied that the Buddha Dhamma Vipassi, Sikhi and Vessabhu not lasting longer Kakusandha teachings of the Buddha, Kassapa Konagamana and long-term survival. [8]

Buddha taught that this event was something the Buddha did not teach the doctrine thoroughly and not promulgate rules to keep in the life of discipleship and discipline are the Buddha did these things fully.

Whereupon he Sariputta (Sariputta) reverence for the Buddha's basic issue (Patimokkha, gender duty) to the future may hold in the life of monks discipline, and spiritual life to exist Hanh Pham in the long run.

- Be patient, Sariputta (Sariputta), be patient.

And the Buddha taught:

"Only as long as the Tathagata knows is the right time. Until a few cases marred arise in the Sangha of the Tathagata not to issue the "Media Discipline" and set "About Basic Law" (Patimokkha) for every disciple. As long as there are cases where goods marred Increasing incidents of them, just as long as he issued the Tathagata new "Media Discipline" and set "Basic rule" to get rid of the pollution it.

Buddha and Angulimala [11]

Buddha recorded for violent murderer Angulimala in the lower twentieth. At this age he Ahimsaka name (the innocent). His father was master of the king of Kosala country. He ate school in Taxila, a renowned center of education in ancient times, and became prominent disciples and closest of a very famous teacher. Unfortunately, so that his friends were popping birth envy, gossip show that Siam and successfully poisoned the mind of the teacher. He believed, taken as angry, and not in thinking or scrutiny, bad advice by Ahimsaka commanded him to bring a thousand human finger, little finger on right hand, he offered to do Catholic ordination. Though unhappy, he Ahimsaka forced obedience, Jalini go into the forest, in Kosala, and began the series of heinous murders, to cut his finger. Initially he pierced the string of their fingers, hanging on tree branches. But because the vultures and crows to eat so he wore on his neck like a garland made of fingers, keep from getting lost and was dedicated to the requisite number. Hence the name "Angulimala", meaning "garland of fingers".

Books [12] stated that when he was to spend nine hundred and ninety-nine fingers, Buddha appears. Seeing the Buddha, Angulimala so happy, thinking that this is a chance to complete his mission.

He then walked straight to the Buddha, hand drawn sword from its sheath.

Buddha mystically create obstacles make Angulimala run in no time, trying his best oil rush began. Very tired, sweating, he stopped and called to: "Stop, his monk."

Buddha calmly replied:

"Although the Tathagata come, Tathagata has stopped walking. As children, Angulimala, stop step. "

Think the killer: "The monk is always telling the truth. The said that he had stopped walking, and we shall not stop. So that I do? "

Angulimala asked, adding: "Hey Mr. Sa Mon. He goes, I myself have stopped. He said that he did not stop but then stopped. Please, this Mr. Samana, his words mean? "

Buddha replied softly: "Yes, Angulimala, Tathagata had stopped walking, stopped always, forever. As Lai has refused, to let go, no assault or injury for a delivery of articles. But do not hold the bloody hand, still killing fellow human beings. So, Tathagata has stopped, and you were still continuing. "

Here's to good karma Angulimala came to the surface quickly. He thought that this monk sure no other than Buddha Gotama (Gautama), optical Forest came out of compassion, like their economic level. Think so, he immediately threw away all weapons, then approached the Buddha, bowed to him and go for refuge. The next Buddha to accept him into the Sangha by Sublime uttered words: "Ehi Bhikkhu" "Come Bhikkhu!"

News ordained bhikkhu Angulimala the Buddha are spread throughout the country. King Kosala own feeling out gently as victims, as Angulimala was indeed a catastrophe for the people of the parish.

But the mind of the bhikkhu Angulimala did not calm because he always remember his past sins and mourn the screams of the victims. Even those I meditate at a secluded place not forget. One day, while going for alms in the street, he was people used sticks to beat and throw rocks at me, to go to the temple with head and neck wounds, bleeding beam problem, my body was bruised spot, where the cut off, an opportunity to reiterate that the Buddha as a result of the immoral behavior of his violent past.

Day, time to bowl, Angulimala Bhikkhu see a woman about to give birth is in trouble, groaning on the road. The compassion, his dolorous tale brought back to the Buddha transparency. He asks him go back, read the following certification - these sentences are still handed down so far under the title Angulimala Paritta:

"Hey Dao Huu, from the date of birth in the Holy nation (ie from the day I left home), I never intentionally destroy the life of an organism. Do these words true, the dream of her charm and her child safe and sound. "

He memorized Angulimala Sutta, then go to the place, sat the woman a curtain, reading it. Instant pain birth mother was easy. To date texts Paritta [13] is still effective.

Later, at the right time, Venerable Arahat Angulimala attained. When referring to the way he touched the Buddha, Venerable Angulimala said:

"There are animals born be overcome by force,
By hook or whip hard.
But we here, tamed by a character
No need to sticks, swords are not used [14]
