Buddhist theory of economic merit ordained

In ancient times in the land of India, with a prince forget his youth, to give up the throne pearl, go back to the authority, fame, escaped further exile, hidden deep in the jungle, six years of austerity ... Then one day, the pre-dawn morning star glassy light flashes up, under the Tree of the Bodhi, the prince did find the way perennial happiness to the gods and the human world. Have determined to renounce the new prince's do it!?

On this Day of the Lord Buddha Sakyamuni phantom-ni, we would like to introduce to you the business Buddhist "merit" (Buddhist theory of economic merit 佛说 出家 功德 经 'Abhiniskramana-Guna-Sutra') one book, not the order of the service, annex the Eastern Tan (Tam Tan), Great Chief 16, number 707, page 813.

Compendium of the business: Business is about a prince named population (called transcription Pi-of-money-na 'Virasena') of aristocracy Le-away (Licchavi), residing in Pi-amnesty -glass (Vaisali). For as in heaven, gods and goddesses play the life of this young prince, too, day and night life of enjoyment, entertainment and sexual passion and the beauties.
Nhan one day to hour meal, the Buddha on alms, he does not necessarily mind that hear fun of Prince Dung Army and the beautiful women playing on the floor. Buddha know Prince crotch after seven days, the network general will into hell. He taught Ananda the crotch advice should early Enlightenment ordained to the public network at prevent fall optimistic. Well teachings of the Buddha, Ananda to met Prince crotch recommend: "Hey you! After seven days you will die. If you are in the five desires enlightenment, not ordained, at the general network you into hell. Buddhism is the most intellectual, right speech, right theory has said about you like that. For as the fire burned everything, are all wrong. You should think carefully. "United Army cabinet heard that the fear, sadness, melancholy unhappy and said:" According to the teachings of Venerable, I left home but I want to enjoy life pleasures more 6 days, the 7th day I will retire from the body, decided ordained. "

By day 7, Prince Do not ask the Buddha ordained. Over a day and a night religious crotch pure precepts and common network. After burned incense, Ananda same relatives of crotch to Buddhism, the consciousness of the prince Never go? Buddha: Prince important religious day night pure precepts renounce this world born of the Sun Kings ... fun at the age of 500, and general network born of heaven Thirty three ... long life 1000 age; take birth about Diem natural ... at the age of two thousand ... born of heaven First-rate ... four thousand years old. Born up in heaven ... the age of eight thousand. All eight thousand years old beings to heaven alienation from network at ... age six thousand. Such pleasure over 7 times in 6 sexual heaven. Made in a day and a night so complacent in 20 lifetimes, not hell, hungry ghost, animal; often born natural, multiplication, natural life blessed. In the last human life born into the wealthy happy, rich asset, adequate leg ... but Never boring in life, hair scraped away, the body jacket legal to, diligent practice diligently, keep 4 postures, often mindful of, warm the army, suffering, not-self, understand the karmic law of, Bich-chi Buddha, performance is Pi-up-stand; then his big halo to many people, gods of virtue and help the species being three redundant freed.

Ananda said to ask the Buddha, if ordained, he left home to take on everything, how much merit? And if people interfere with others, feeling guilty?

Buddha, the merit of renunciation could not say if they are natural, or human beings often do king, life happiness multiplication, natural. If someone help you in the legal recluse, even in life and death he still enjoy peace and happiness ... But if hinder prejudice about others ordained that person robbed endless treasure triangulate blessed ... infinite life crime.
Buddha told Ananda:

If the A-la-drought level of the four realms such as wheat grass, jungle, then someone in full 100 years committed to offering the A-la-limit things such as: clothing, food food, water, medicine ... until after when he nirvāṇa, built the temple tower, used all kinds of pins, flower incense, pearls offerings, and users who had praised the merits not with the ordained ordained even for a day and a night religious. Merit is 16 parts, first part only merit.

Then, both of them listen to Buddhist teachings one without boring walks of life; their monastic precepts, have obtained the Tu-momentum-complete, even the person attained the A-la-han, have sown seed Bich-chi, with a fine mind Supreme Bodhi. Everyone delighted worship service.

Conclusion: Regarding the actions of the Buddha praised, praised silver throughout the scriptures, such as a microscope, stupid: "The virtue of the occurrence of high than Tu-cell, deep sea, wider nowhere . Why so? Ordained decided to become a Buddha. " Australian Economic-old bourgeois: "At the pollution, renunciation is pure; tied, ordained liberation ..." Doing Van-things-the-benefit question: "Why the increase and afflictions, renunciation, liberation. Home is in the forest of thorns sword, made ​​out of the forest of thorns sword ... "

Those words from metal gate Exalted said, we do not have anything to talk about. But we should understand, here the Buddha did not deny living at home tu no liberation, only the people at home to cultivate without education, without falling is hard work, and results are attained through any complete only, not attain Nibbāna Constitution. At the same time standing on the concept of "philosophy", the Buddha wanted to prove to us that, sex, money, power, fame, eternal ... difficult prior to the law of impermanence; so he taught Ananda recommend prince courageous Army ordained.

Prince crotch of practice a day and a night, and general network born of heaven, life long, chronic 20 lives into hell, hungry ghost ... Why Prince crotch such blessings? Prince standing army that perfect world in a day and a night. Kinh Tam local said: "The hardest part is keeping the world. Keep the new world is called renunciation. "Bias-Law said:" Discipline is the life span of the Buddha's teaching. About law Buddhism longer. "Sex is the gateway to liberation, is the energy to maintain, protect the Sangha community. A noble ordained morality is the image, which is the signal for the survival of the congregation, no matter where, or in any country.

However, the wish of the produce not stop there, but "cruel world filled with tuna before the child enters first; if there is a being not a Buddha, then I vowed never enjoy taking Nibbāna. "So, my last prince population comes to mind of great compassion of" upstream the Buddha directed, lower beings ", should population practice a Buddha of the Bich-more, name Pi-save-base , halo to save the sentient beings of the three redundant.

Discussion merits a genuine renunciation that discussion merits a future Buddha, was inconceivable merit, intellectual human being can not penetrate. We would like to loan his Exalted express him:
"He was the most precious, is the ultimate, no-one match, none of the shoulder: he is level great heroic strength between the world, exclusive tour of wealth. "(of insanity continue now).
