Ox virtue of patience - COMMUNICATION Buddha past life.
..........................................

Patience is one of six big happy (happy six paramitas) helped transform the Buddhist monk, reaching the result. Patience with people who have power over her was difficult, let alone anything less patience with them that edge. Few see the need with less patience than me, in fact, there are rarely cases that occur. But sometimes there is a paradox about the weak more than enough to take all aspects of bullying, abuse older than me, just because he gentle patience. This is a story of past lives of Buddha, when he was born to make life buffalo. Over how many lives rebirth within samsara, but has done much good and altruistic, but the Buddha, then only as a Bodhisattva, still have to pay notes the lingering bad karma from many past lives. In a lifetime, he must be born as a buffalo. The Bodhisattva brought buffalo relatives living in a mountainous wilderness, huge bulky body, dark skin color is always dark and covered with mud, looking as an array of moving clouds, which appear to have a frightening cruel. However, although born as animals, Buddha nature was sunk in ignorance dense screen of shells piled karmic Bodhisattva brought buffalo still developing body of wisdom and compassion for those who have conditions met. virtue and compassion deeply rooted place Bodhisattva from many lifetimes, but the practice must meet the new challenges arduous achieve perfection. Buffalo is born as a predestined life challenges Bodhisattva in adversity, not only that the obstacle that was brought to bear many tortuous and unendurable. large buffalo horns and a black light to him but scary but very gentle. Buffalo never angry, though anyone can do matter. There is a monkey though small and feeble fold buffalo many times, but very dodgy. Knowing buffalo as the Bodhisattva mind, the monkey went to think how teasing and bullying, abuse buffalo. He thought: "The buffalo is very gentle, it will not do us where." The thugs prefer to bully, suppress the gentle and generous, used all kinds of annoying tricks and sorrow for them without fear, because they will believe that I do not dare fight. But when you see signs of retaliation, they hastily retreated and right attitude. Particularly for Bodhisattva buffalo, monkeys had not a little frightened, teased dogged enough buffalo style. There are times when buffaloes are asleep or sleeping peacefully, when suddenly rushed out and attacked the buffalo. Other times, the monkey climbs the buffalo, and as such is in a tree, transmitting from horn to horn all others, such as climbing trees. Sometimes, when buffalo are hungry, want to bend down to eat grass, when standing in front stopped, do not eat buffalo. Tai is more evil monkeys also get a piece of palm tree in the ear causing bleeding buffalo. Now want to bath water buffalo, monkeys climb right up the back and blindfolded buffaloes. Sometimes the monkeys to climb buffalo, buffalo finish as close horse, holding a stick as buffalo Death holding his whip so. For all the viciously teased that the monkey, the body bearing Bodhisattva Buffalo still bite, no anger, no resentment coal. While the wicked are always looking to satisfy their bestial, without thinking of others, which are Bodhisattvas are considered a good opportunity to practice patience, reinforce existing virtuous. At that time, there a god that Bodhisattvas are suffering persecution eyesore that, went back to extremely dissatisfied. One day, while riding on buffalo monkey beating of torture game, genie appeared saying: "Please do not be so patient. Do not know what he is owed ​​this monkey was, or was he found it nowhere dangerous, or that he does not know his strength, but it suffered painful torture like this? He said his mighty horns how, if butting can quickly penetrate the diamonds, or as devastating lightning down trees so that. And the other legs which bristle with the bike also rocks sunk as the other so that the mud. But his body is really strong, wiry muscles are strong enough to perfection. Who knows, heaven for him a great power, including a lion is more feared also. So why he did not get a foot pedal for it crushed out, or a stabbing horns to the practice of rude treatment of it. Why did you take for this monkey lie Leu abuse led to such pain, he's like so totally helpless? This life is evil but he that is in the mind's ways of dealing generous, full of meaning to this ceremony where? The antidote to this compromise which offers only apply to those children deserve to whip, to jump, then punish it so severely disabled as it is rude of counterfeit currency more, like a disease from piles of sputum so widely. " Bodhisattva buffalo look at the gods, slowly said the words of a mind full of sweet casting patience. "I know, this monkey was a little like eating lightly and raped others, but actually here again is why we tolerate it. Patience with people who have power over their forces there sense, because we can do where they fight back? For those who have solid virtue, patience is natural, but can not see that patience is patience, and see who is in mortal sin do make themselves where patience. So we have to endure the attack of the weak than you though you have enough power to retaliate back, so new construction of merit, instead of making merit by the loss of his revenge. The mistreatment of those who attack the weaker is its best chance to develop virtue. If people want to use the power of virtue to retaliate in cases like this will achieve what purpose, if not make the mental becomes crazy. Moreover, the chances are very difficult to have patience, because it depends on people outside of us, who now have conditioned us to practice, why we must be angry with them? If we do not use patience with monkeys to cleanse his karma, while itself to be compromised by doing evil things against me, who should be grateful, if not we here? " The spirit said: "If then he will never escape the abuse of it. Who can change the rules right is wrong for a young thug does not need to know what virtue is, unless he knew the bite brushed aside? " Bodhisattva said: "The desire for happiness is not should find happiness by pursuing what makes you be comfortable, or save yourself the inconvenience by making room for others suffering. The consequences of these things will not bring us happiness. The patience of our patience is actually a teachings to awaken the conscience of the monkey. If it does not understand it, later it will again attack another person, and then he will react and get it to stop not continue this path of evil. When it has been tortured and then again, it will not do things as it did for me again. Were punished then, it will no longer act as invisible way around anymore. And so, then I will no longer pursue it anymore. " Hearing these words, taken as the god of joy and infinite, in the heart filled with admiration, praise that went: "Good place! Protestant instead! How uncouth a creature like this has been such a virtue? How can you be to be a superior degree of virtue like this? But interesting to see him carrying the body, but surely he was practicing penance in the forest this immense penance! " Praise is finished, throw the monkey god from buffalo, teach him a lesson , then disappear. .......................... This story shows us, patience is valid only when there was predestined to practice, not words down, but understand. Thus, if someone abused, treated unfairly, we should be thankful he has given us the opportunity to develop patience merit further below. This story also shows: "Bodhisattva interesting even bring itself still carries a permanent center of real virtue, like, a man who vows of renunciation, how could this absence of mind!
