PREFACE
History of Buddhism began with the Pope, Buddha Sakyamuni, was born in
India now has 26 centuries.
Indian peninsula at that time included many kingdoms; and compared with
the vast kingdom, along the mighty Ganges, as Ma-masterpiece-momentum (the
capital of the United-Xa), Kieu- slap-la (capital the Xa-defense), the Bat-term
(capital Ti-amnesty-li), etc., the home of the Buddha, kingdom Sakyamuni (the
capital is Ca-spleen-la- protection), is a small country far away in the north,
take foot Hi-code-Greek.
The other large kingdom, not the surface of land, economic prosperity,
strong military, cultural development, but also a wide area of operation,
extensive bustle of religion. It is the center of Brahmanic religion. It is also the center of the
radical fundamentalist ideology that opposes the traditional Brahmin time.
The religious
leader illustrious reputation at such as inflation UAT First, A La Lam, Asita,
San Defrost etc. are major ashrams in this
area.
Meanwhile, the said to Sakyamuni kingdom of obscure! So, if Prince Siddhartha
famous, famous only within his kingdom, or further to its neighbors (the
childhood home of Prince) is Q-li only. That is why the Prince, when decided, had to leave
his own country, down to the Bat-Ki and Ma-out-(Ca-spleen-la-defense of the
Southeast from 200 to 400 kilometers as the crow flies) in the Ganges basin to
the master who. Might say, the the bustling atmosphere proliferation but mixed, hang of
the movement of thought at that time, have affected and boosted the prince must
find a light path, correct and complete trust to guide and shelter for
everyone.
When Buddha attained enlightenment and founded the congregation with
spleen disciples first parade in Deer Park, Indian people do not know anything
about Buddhism. At crowded congregation, and the first disciples were fully capable and
virtuous to move yourself out of the place, people started hearing about
"Buddha"! Until nearly a year later and when Buddhist win three brothers Advantages
Lau Frequency Speakers Kassapa, followed Sariputta and Moggallana, and then not
long as Mahakasyapa, then the reputation of the real Buddha the wine of the four
directions, the court in addition to the one who
knows!
Throughout life, people oriented toward the Buddha so much that does not
count; own disciples, both monks and nuns, also have tens of thousands.
Among the
disciples, of course, is not how to avoid have less moral element, but only a
very small part, but the vast majority, as anyone can see, are the true
Buddhist, devout , diligent practice, enthusiastically serve others.
Do you little
pretentious and little nun endorse arahat, is listed on the church we have
thousands, which lay evidence of results from complete, from the function is no
less!
Among the holy disciples of the Buddha, is not always the same knack and
virtues, which each have their own special features. And when it comes to this,
people often refer to the "Ten Great Disciples (Ten Great Disciples) of the
Buddha."
In fact, when I was in the world, the Buddha did not say it's ten
greatest disciples of him, but he just said that, you are so good in this
respect, the other to excel in other ways .. . only. Best A basement can write a
list of disciples led congregations in different ways, by the Buddha to confirm,
for example: A Nha Tran Kieu Nhu the Greek higher end; Shariputra most
transcendent wisdom; Moggallana the most divine; Nan Da preserve the six most
careful; etc. That list includes a total of 41 billion monks, 13 spleen nuns, 11 lay
lay men and 10 women. The number "ten major disciples," This is because the next life choices.
Therefore,
there are many different lists of "Ten Great Disciples", but the following list
is considered to be the most common: Sariputta, Moggallana, Kasyapa, Ananda,
Specials Ba Li, A Na Law, Phu long Na, Ca fought, from Bo and Rahula.
Can say, it is
the most typical ten disciples of the Buddha. They are the most powerful
arm helped the most effective Buddha in preaching work life, making Buddhism
flourished throughout the Indian territory at that time, and was handed down
until today.
Look at the disciples of the Buddha, as well as at home, which is
typically ten saints above, we will see clearly the virtues of tolerance, equity
and compassion of His immense love for all people . He like the sea, hundreds
of rivers that flow into the water. Only in the number ten, we find they represent of
all components of society: A Na Law, Ananda, Rahula which is the prince, the
king religion, caste powerful kings prestige dominance; Mahakasyapa, CA Lamb
came from the caste brahmin family, identity ultimate greatness, the richest
countries; Shariputra, Moggallana was the scholars prominent leader of a pagan
sect, under his hundreds map them; Phu Lau Na, Bo Tu born in the rich family
business-class rich, shall preside; and after all Specials Ba Li , came from the
slave class, poverty, illiteracy. All ten have, from product level, to identity, their
social status is different, but when integrated into the monastic way of life,
all are equal. All are a revered Buddha and the same level of respect each other,
attempting to practice, will achieve status and honor, and all people respect.
By virtue of
his precious, every act, speech, behavior, as well as his enthusiasm you for
living beings, we can clearly see the noble personality of the Buddha and his
vast love for living beings. So people have said, you want to understand the
Buddha, the best way is to look at the life of at least ten major disciples of
Him!
The analysis of ten religious position fake notes scattered in the South
and North transmits stories, and long were monks Tinhvan, a North Star of
Buddhism in China on the modern-Nations Population collection, compiled and
wrote the book Ten Great Disciples Stories (publisher Buddha-ray,
radio,-northern, published in 1984). Write a comprehensive book on the life of ten fake
religion. Ten
life is the shining example, clearly shows the noble virtues same zeal for the
law and for beings to the true Buddhist, pattern, we just need to learn and
practice a fraction alone, is enough to make Dharma exists in the
world.
Read to your false religion, we are deeply moved, as he thought the money
front, is followed release of Where ... To show our gratitude and boundless merit reverence
of him, and also for the common good, we are pleased to bring the book Ten Great
Disciples Stories of monks Tinhvan, translated into Vietnamese to share share
with you in the Viet-Nam. We hope this book will help in the meticulous study
of all of us.

1. BEFORE AND AFTER THE LIFE
United-residence (Rajagrha - Rajagaha) is the capital of the kingdom of
Ma-masterpiece-momentum (Magadha ), In the domain Male
Sariputra was born in a family of the Brahmin. Venerable's father was a
famous commentator of Brahmanic religion. Venerable mother, during pregnancy Venerable
spiritual mind becomes unusually hard, so much so that he is her brother The
Cixi La (Kausthila - Kotthita), which was also a discourse emigration beat
contemporaries but also to give her. Therefore, he was ashamed to leave their home.
He knew that
she was influenced by the fetus, and the other baby is in the womb, then this
would definitely be a more intellectual level; if you do not try to learn more,
how also have outdone her grandchildren, then people laugh for the stars!
So after
leaving the house, he went around to find competent teacher to school.
He needs to
nail that grows without the time to cut, making everyone call him as awarded
commit School (Dirghanakha - Dighanakha - his priest long nails). Later, workers found
Shariputra refuge as a Buddhist, he also ordained Buddhist
monk.
When he was eight years old, Shariputra have long business use.
At that time,
in the Ma-out-momentum two brothers Cat Loi and A La, are bourgeois.
One day, they
treat large party entertained the king, the prince, the great god, the same
commentator. In the presentation banquet room, all seats are clearly defined,
according to the identity and position of each body; so that the other
eight-year-old boy Shariputra, do not fear anyone, blatantly dared climb the
lofty seat for the master to sit. At first, the great god, and see it as every
commentator to Sariputta as a kid does not know what, so do not bother saying
anything to, even for cloud their young disciples to play with him ; but a
moment later, heard speak of Shariputra is very unusual, clear language, song
extract, keen that reason, clearly, the ministers, the great master are taken as
amazing, praise and admire; own monarch is extremely happy to, immediately
commanded get right a villages reward Shariputra page. You're eight years old
prodigy was so brilliant for families; and the right of his father, who was a
notable contemporaries, would have to admit that his intellect intelligence
unmatched
with your precious little pet.
2. True
master
Shariputra grew up, became a tall young man with delicate features, eyes,
god, hand longer than knees, genetic father, so also the style of a renowned
scholar . In
academia that time, no one is unaware of the identity of the young man behind
the bioavailability captain.
At the age of twenty, Shariputra for allow themselves traveling bilateral
study religion and seek the truth. First, he came to enroll with a Brahmin priest named
San communes (Sanjayavairattiputra-Sanjaya-belatthiputta). Some time later, seeing San
Soap was not able to satisfy his desires, Shariputra want to leave him to go
elsewhere.
At that time, the number of classmates, a young man named Moggallana
(Maudgalyayana - Moggallana), the only tri century friend of his. He then said his idea for
Moggallana said, and Moggallana also like this idea. For two people decided to
leave the Academy of San Xa have their own label map them to set up a new
academy. Both
claim that the world is no longer one ingenious intelligent than them, so no one
is eligible and worthy ability to master
them.
Sariputta and Moggallana, the age is approximately equal, but the thought
and education is also not much different. Both people with aspiration decided to seek the
truth. They
are doing together, stay together, and treat each other is very harmonious.
From here,
they learn together and teach our map in the academy, in addition, in the
territory of India, they no longer see any scholar significantly below their
eyes. Until
one day Sariputta suddenly see him A Market Theory (or A Theory, A discharge
can, AT friends, Asvajit - Assaji, is a first in the spleen monks ordained as a
Buddhist, has been years of asceticism, to hear Buddha taught regarding tenets
Four of the So then attained saints) in a
street in the capital of United-indulgence
...
Appearance of Change A Thi Notes in solemn how! Every gesture, standing
leaning parade was clear posture action. At first glance that, Shariputra suddenly felt
shaken soul. It's amazing, weird beyond description! No ballast questions,
Shariputra consecutive steps in front of A Market Theory, greeting
reverently:
- Sorry you ask me, What is his name and live
at?
He A Market Theory answered:
- Thank you for asking. My name is A Market Theory, living in monasteries
Architecture-forestry (Venevana - Veluvana) on the outside of the city, not very
far from here. (Some theories say that, at Sariputta having great faith A Market Theory,
Truc-forest monasteries have been built; Buddha and they increased resides in a
forest on the outskirts of the southern United-amnesty. - Translator's
Note.)
- His religious Tier someone? And taught him the
moral?
- My teacher is attached Sakyan and people used to call him the Buddha
Shakyamuni. He used to teach us about the truth of the universe and human life, but
who the shallow fun as I do not mind be able to fully master the basics of all.
Tenets My
teacher often taught that I remember the most is
this:
The karmic law so that students,
And also due to causes and conditions that
kill.
And he also says:
All practices are impermanent,
Are legal birth and death.
And a termination of the birth and death,
There is peace in the realm of pure nirvana
president.
Actually I do not know how to express to express our appreciation for
the teachings of our Master!
Shariputra felt like sky and earth as he heard the name of Buddha and
His Dhamma by the teacher's mouth A Market Theory say! As the bright light of the
sun in front, how many clouds of doubt about the human universe accumulation
problems so far, suddenly are clean. The two go together one more journey to
conversation. Go next to the spleen parade just met for the first time Shariputra felt
as long soul mate already. Then Sariputta would report, and promise A Thi Note
how soon to the monastery to ask for an audience with the
Buddha.
Shariputra let her back to the academy. Moggallana see see god
excellence Shariputra stars that unusual, definition glad cheerfully revealed on
your face today have never seen! Ben
asked:
- Shariputra! Why? There is something very interesting that today are you happy
too?
- Moggallana! I'm glad too! In life, this is the first time I saw such high inspiration!
Hey, I tell
you, but I've found our Master level!
...
Moggallana stared:
- Hey, do not say that, in this world who can do for us,
too!
- There, there! It is the Buddha! I repeat, it's
Buddha!
Then Sariputta bring all what was heard from Mr. A Market Theory of the
Buddha and his teachings, telling Moggallana heard. Two friends, an art and a
listener, in that precious moment, are delighted, moved to tears lice
turtles.
French predestined, people often hear what they do not understand, but
when it reached the ears of a person and are looking for intellectual truth as
Shariputra is different. He felt like his meticulous study in how many years
have become empty! That's not wrong, because the only person who sees will see clearly to
be the Dharma.
Immediately the next day, Sariputta and Moggallana, led by their two
hundred and map them to the monasteries Architecture-clinical application
ordained by the Buddha. Buddha was very happy, because I knew that, since
its direction, to now only two true disciple capable, able to span the truth
they convey; whereas Shariputra and Section Moggallana also know for sure that,
until today I just truly get the true
masters!
3. DIRECTOR construction site
Monasteries Ki-
After when Shariputra ordained by the Buddha, the prestige of the sangha
more powerful. Venerable is the Buddhist faith. He came to have his first to be delivered to the
mission up north to teach, by the managing director of the construction of the
monastery States-members (Jetavana).
Again, the first two years after the Buddha attained enlightenment, the
Buddha's preaching was only developed in the southern region of the Ganges
within the kingdom Ca-Examination (KASI), and Ma-masterpiece-momentum .
At that time,
in the city Xa-defense (Sravasti - Savatthi) of the kingdom Qiao-slap-la
(Kosala), Northern India, there is a bourgeois named from reaching (Sudatta).
Karmic
encounter, one day, down United-clinic visit relatives that is to see the
Buddha. For
admiration, he asked for refuge in the Three Jewels and appeal Buddha allowed
him to build a monastery in the capital city of his native Xa-defense
to make offerings to the Buddha and the Sangha as a basis for study and
preaching in the north.
After using the Earth's gold, buy garden plants of Prince Ki (Jeta) in
Xa-guard, head back from the mainland United-residence for the Buddha for a
flawless parade up there to look after the construction of the monastery.
Buddhism for
real people Xa-defense is new. Where there is a large number of foreign direct
activities; should the person who is appointed to that is not enough to manage
the construction of the monastery, but also capable for pagans. Because clearly see that
the Buddha has assigned it to Sariputta, and religious author with putting up
the road to the north ...
Just as the Buddha of the previous work of construction was started not
long, tribulation immediately. Out of envy, for fear of Buddhist expansion, very
large pagan clergy also to bourgeois request from Achieve cancel intend to build
the monastery to make offerings to the Buddha; not only that, they also protect
from land without believe in the Buddha. But bourgeois capital set deep faith in the Buddha
and, even pagan to speak any case, he did not change his mind. You pagan clergy went to
change the plan. They challenged the Venerable Shariputra public debate with them;
because they believe that, with this, they will likely beat Shariputra to light
from reaching your eyes to wake up. By knowing this information, soil bourgeois fear
infinity. He
thought that, alone Venerable Shariputra, how to win the pagan clergy large
number like that! He went to the audience with false religion to reveal his worried;, but
when listening to it, Venerable has little thoughtfully, also proved very
pleased, because for religious authors, this is the main is a good opportunity
to spread the teachings.
Date, time and place of open debate has been assessed. Pagan side sent out twenty
commentator to cope with alone Venerable
Sariputta.
Be aware that, in this debate, in number, but represents the Buddha
alone Venerable Shariputra, but the real power is a Shariputra was well enough
to beat the thousands, tens of thousands of The pagan commentator. He came to be a disciple
little to none of the disciples of the Buddha. Again, we must remember,
fake religion which came from a Brahmin family, where the father and the father
are the ranks of scholars, prominent commentator in the world of Brahman.
Right from
childhood, religious authors enjoy fully the spiritual heritage of his father,
had mastered all pagan area; grew up to meet the conditions ordained by the
Buddha and attained the holy, also choose one over religious pagan authors to
deal with in this case! So, needless to say we also know that, Venerable
Shariputra won you heathen commentator in this challenge. Thing to say, after that
public debate, you pagan clergy have seen the truth, breaking its approval,
unanimously Venerable Sariputta introduce them to meet the Buddha and refuge in
the Buddha study. Also take this opportunity to very large masses known Dhamma for refuge
in the Three Jewels. Separate earth bourgeois happy and cheering, as admired Venerable
Sariputta, the more he appreciates greatness and virtue of the Buddha.
At that time,
while the Buddha was still operating in the South, but the truth has shed light
to the north.
Construction of the monastery States-works be carried out very quickly.
According to
the scheme by the Venerable Sariputta design, the monastery consists of sixteen
large hut for collective activities such as lecture halls, halls; sixty small
hut used as bedrooms, recuperate, wash room, storage items, etc.; addition to
the stadium, tennis baths, ponds, etc.
One day, when the monastery was built about success, false religion on
earth nowhere told:
- Head of the author from the ground! Please look! The air out of what he
saw?
From reaching the astonished
response:
- Venerable Sir, I have seen
nothing!
- Oh yeah, if use corporal label, can not find these scenes.
Now he
depends on my third eye that look
again!
- Venerable Sir, I see it. I saw a lot of beautiful palaces, stately.
From very
happy to land told Shariputra so.
- That's palace in heaven-sexual, so for him there. Here he built the
monastery to make offerings to the Buddha used as a basis for preaching; whether
monasteries incomplete, but the palace for him in heaven Luc-training is
completed.
- Dear Venerable, the palace of heaven Luc-sex so much, then you should
be in heaven is better?
- In heaven Training-beneficial, long life, conscious and diligent in
practice Buddhist religion, to very rarely fall
communicate.
- So, in the future life vow to be born in heaven
Dao-profit.
While putting speaks other words, how much to the palace gradually
disappear, leaving only the fairies Dao-advantage is brilliant splendor.
From the soil
that is extremely happy. It is one of a kind in his life
ever.
4. Temporary Mahayana NOT
TRANSFER
Said the chief author of earth, build Buddhist monasteries offerings but
may rely on third eye of the Venerable Sariputta to see the fairies, thought
should also consider the special case of the eyes Sariputra in a forerunner of
the Venerable story sixty elementary lifetimes ago, when Venerable bodhisattva
practice.
At that time, while the mind bodhisattva practice, Shariputra was very
focused to giving. To make giving, Shariputra not vow to help people possessions, homes,
fields and gardens, but even to sacrifice body and life. Sincere wishes Shariputra
was then moved to both heaven and earth. Then a god to try mind direction of Shariputra,
came as a young man twenty year old, standing by the road waiting Sariputra
passing. When
Shariputra arrived before the young man immediately cry cry bitterly.
Shariputra
saw then a commercial concern, comforting Then
ask:
- Hey you! What are you standing here crying bitterly
too?
- Please do not ask what to do! I even talked to him just useless
only.
- You, sir, I am a monk, with the wish to help those who are suffering.
Just him
clear his unfortunate situation, if the ability I can do to help, I immediately
make you satisfied now.
- I know for sure that he can not help me! Assets in the world I do
not need, just because my mother was sick too heavy, can not find my pain
medicine to have wept bitterly like this. According to the doctors said I had to find a
living eye of a person to practice medicine brought my mother's fatal diseases
to cure it. I
just have to think, as the life of a normal eye is not easy to find, let alone
that of a monk! Think about this difficult, then think of her sick in bed, both groan
and looked forward to quickly bring the eyes of medicine, which cut my heart
ache ...
- You sir! Nothing difficult at all. Recently I told you about my wishes. I was a religious man, and
my right eye is the eye of a monk. I asked for donations he my eyes for him to take
specific medication for her treatment.
Young man happy dance:
- Really! Joy you give me an eye stars!
- How much property I gave alms to the end. I'm wanting to take a step
further on the way to practice Bodhisattva is giving to my body, but hard to say
that no one needs. Today met him I was satisfied. I am very happy and thank you so much. So you use a way to take
my eyes away!
But the young man refused,
saying:
- Do not! Doing so, it looks like I rape his eyes. I did not dare.
He has
volunteered for me, ask he hooks it yourself given
me.
Sariputta for the words of the young man is the reason but of lower
resolution, compression pain, hand hook left eye, handed him, and
said:
- Thank you for helping me complete the wish. You take your eyes go
home!
The young man put his hand to grab the eyes by Shariputra given, but
suddenly shouted:
- It is useless! I was not sure what he left hook eye! My mother's sick, the
doctor said, must use the new right
eye!
Listen, Shariputra back to me how useless map. He blamed herself why did
not you ask before you have to be careful. Now it has missed. The mind must be full;
research must wholeheartedly. Then I have to hook the right eye always new to
him! He then
consoled the young man:
- You do not be mad! Just then because I was too hasty but forgot to ask
him first for clarity. I know the error. My right eye is still
here, so I hook up to him to bring about healing drugs for his
mother.
Having said this, Shariputra suppressed pain, eye hooks are always right
handed guy. Next grab the eye, not a thank you, he also put the eyes on the nose
smell the smell, then hurled to the ground and
yelled:
- He that is what religious people! Eye he did foul punched
hard smell too, how can cure my sick
mother!
Network, he again used the foot pedal to Shariputra eyes. At that time but no longer
see anything, but Sariputta ears to hear knows everything. He heard the other guy
yelled at him. He heard footsteps he trampled his eyes for him. He whispered coal: We the
hard degrees; mind bodhisattva is hard! Light should not be delusions about the Mahayana
practice more to do, but just keep the old path of self-interest is more.
Just think
so, then suddenly out of nowhere appears a lot of our natural, unanimously said
to Shariputra:
- My other yogi! Goodwill should not rot so. The last guy is a god to
try to direct the mind of the people, sir. Who must be maintained wish and make effort more
strongly on the spiritual path!
Listen to those words, Sariputta himself ashamed, powerful bodhisattva
mind back arising. Over sixty elementary life, Shariputra did not rot on the road of
learning, to this day the Buddha is linked securities holy, there are natural
label.
5. RECEIVED NOT FEED THE
CLEAN
Shariputra worthy is the leading disciples of the Buddha. Venerable is the more
intellectual people, god dominant force them, but for Buddha the hundred medical
all agree never to act against any of his teachings. Therefore, in all
disciples, Venerable Buddha is the most
trusted.
In the first return visit home to Ca-spleen-la-defense (Kapilavastu -
Kapilavatthu) after enlightenment, the Buddha gave Rahula (Rahula) ordained
sangha practice. Sariputta has ordained novice Rahula. Buddha told Rahula
religious Shariputra a teacher, always adjacent to the false religions
teach.
One day, after Rahula Shariputra begging return, Buddha see Rahula face
not look happy. After noon son, he went called Rahula nearly asked whether inside what
is unsatisfactory. Rahula bow said:
- Buddha! Body parts are just a novice, would not say elders mistakes, but if not,
no one understands the plight of we novices
us.
- Yeah, what you just said go!
- Buddha! When the elders lead us to real life, you are his benefactors offered to
you scrumptious food; longer with us novices us, they are just whole foods too
bad. I think
everyone's body needs food the same, where, regardless of age or morality.
The elders of
the life we know only use donations of benefactors without loving
condescension to us, to tell you the benefactor discrimination while
offering.
- Only something so small that you could not
ring?
- Buddha have mercy but do
not blame me. Buddha, eating nutritious, healthy new body, new air force growth, so
that the new center to be diligent in practicing peace. Indeed, our day and eat
only whole foods lack nutrients, so your body more tired, which makes the mind
rarely effective way to practice.
Buddha saw the Rahula said is true, but still
says:
- This Rahula! I left the palace followed the sangha is because in
order to get donations?
- Well not so, white Sun! I joined the Sangha is the to learn spiritual
director.
- Then you should not need anything to say about it. If only because of the
religious school director, even if we have been benefactors offered a sesame
seed or a grain of corn would still be full. Come back my children,
take the practice as important, do not care about food
anymore!
But the Buddha taught Rahula so, but he also saw the benefactor offering
up our discrimination is not. Therefore, after Rahula's gone, he again invited
Shariputra. He says:
- Master Sariputta! Today he received the impure food, do you
know?
He came to listen to the Buddha then appalled, came running out,
providing much food to taste finished to vomit all, and then returned to say to
the Buddha:
- Buddha! Since the Buddha left home now, I always y alms manner by the Buddha
taught that practice. I never left the word Buddha to ask for things impure
food.
Religious mind of the author how the Buddha was clear, so he
explained:
- Master Sariputta! Lai said very clearly that teachers always practice
proper legal alms truth, but for the loving spirit in the monastic way of life,
then we should not know. Legislation must always equal, that benefit must
also be shared equally; further, as our elders should always love and take care
of the interest that the incidence younger monks as well as pay immature novice!
It is typical
that while walking through, you should pay attention to their
teacher.
Listen Buddha, Shariputra understood the work. Venerable grateful for the
compassion of the Buddha to his disciples, may receive, memorize and practice
the Buddha's teachings.
6. Traitors must fear
Among the disciples of the Buddha have a spleen parade named Devadatta
(Devadatta), which is a cousin of the Buddha. About ten years after the
Buddha, he possessed spiritual confusion, betrayal integral Buddha and the
Buddhist Sangha.
One day after noon son, the Buddha, and they increase with the rest of
the hall, suddenly, Devadatta asked the Buddha to empower leaders for his
congregation. Buddha did not approve. He then shouted angrily, but he remained silent.
He called
them up to go with him. Meanwhile, his brother, Venerable Ananda (Ananda),
stood up and walked to the front he
said:
- Please brother do not have delusions. Since my brother who is
the prefect, so the thought of heavy sins brothers have created, think of the
fall lost brothers suffer in the future, I felt pity. Blessed is the One of
great compassion, a brother, what can not be compared. If today that two brothers
Sariputta and Moggallana given here, is the brother can not be let loose like
that ...
Then, with the enthusiastic support of King Ajatasatru (Ajatasatru -
Ajatasattu), Devadatta had used many ways as intimidating, or bring benefits
seduce, to hold back some of his disciples to follow he; these are the spleen
new monks ordained, volatile, unstable trust, the benefits and prestige of the
king is to follow.
One day, when the spleen monk disciples of the Buddha according
Devadatta and private practitioners of Devadatta group meeting at a place and
that, Sariputta suddenly appear. With a powerful style and solemn, religious authors
to tell them:
- Fraternal Ladies! I am here today fraternal reinforced ask you a
question: Do you renounce the main practice is due to receive donations or
because the study?
All the same answer:
- Just because the practice, because he wanted to escape from samsaric
suffering Sea.
- If so, why your brother did not follow the right path the Buddha
taught, but bring the pure faith, honor your offer for one completely shaken by
avaricious material ? Please brothers please wake
up!
While religious authors say these words, from on false religious bodies
appear all brilliant director glory. In the aura that emerged from the content of the
Buddha, making all of them leaning parade astray he suddenly knelt down and
speak words of repentance. Venerable Then put it all back to the monastic
community.
Bring harmony to increase labor union is a tremendous Venerable
Sariputta. Buddha utmost praise. Devadatta own, he was not afraid of the Buddha
which is very preliminary. Shariputra.
Later, because of poor too intensive weight Devadatta in hell.
Early King
Ajatasatru enough remorse remorse should have been saved. What about Venerable
Sariputta as sangha respect.
7. RECEIVING A LICENSE LAW
Saving people
One time the Buddha seated at the monastery States-members. As compassionate beings
forever wandering in the ocean of birth and death of helpless suffering, rebirth
in the six paths that do not know is somewhere true happiness to come back, so
he was telling a method to salvation; introduced realm Pole-communication of the
Buddha Amitabha (Amita) and how easy practice to be born on that realm.
But the fear
of the poor people of the lowest, not to but did not receive, And He decided
Venerable Shariputra said legal object. Among the audience at that time also includes all
those who are at the base of high, medium, low, but because He knows that only
the great wisdom that knows the true realm of pure, solemn truth Pole-realm
communication, new and true faith where the Buddha Amitabha. He
says:
- This Shariputra! The way our world is far from the West, there is a
world called Pole-optimistic. Cardinals of the world was Buddha Amitabha, is
currently in law. Master Sariputta! Why is the name of the realm Pole-touch?
Because the
fullness of what that realm, where world peace unlike Ta-she has too many
defects, so much of our suffering here. In the domestic realm, talking about nature, the
land is flat, the material is abundant, clean, straight, beautiful; talk about
social human populations everything gadgets and necessities for human life are
available is full, and it is only used when necessary. Across realms that
country, where the urban as well as the architectural dignity, currency
adjustment, also is colorful beautiful gardens. Master Sariputta!
Just one
mind reciting Buddha Amitabha and diligent study of thirty-seven assistant,
cultivate merit in the future will definitely be Amitabha Buddha to lead the
world was his . Beings in the world Ta-she, if you want to escape from the suffering of
samsara, just vow to be born in the world. Tathagata has told Ananda
worship of the Buddha Amitabha, and he was also seen from his rays. Profound public trust in
the practice hard to believe that the Tathagata has spoken of; new reality is
the way of salvation of sentient
beings.
Venerable Sariputta absolutely no little skeptical about what the Buddha
said. Venerable and all of them are deeply believe in the
practice.
8. GERMANY compromise
Venerable Sariputta, for the teachings of the Buddha, a level of trust,
respect and practice; lecture to work very diligently; but for your personal, do
not ever mention TB; reward, what benefits to give to
others.
Once the Buddha led them up the goods. Now on to the Xa-defense
then rested team monks often mass called army rested parade, was trying to go
very quickly to the monastery States-park in front of people. They scrambled up all
relatively good place to sleep in them, including a net loss of Venerable
Sariputta. They said: This is the place of the Buddha, the teacher, and I have the
right of residence. Looking that Shariputra back very late. When you go to the
monastery, saw its net loss was Army team monks occupied, religious RATE no
troubles at all, came out static tree located throughout the night. Early the Buddha up,
heard coughing aggression in the tree, he
asked:
- I do out there? Why are not static coordinates in the
interior?
Venerable said:
- Buddha! Is Sariputta. Since yesterday by The Sun on the monastery
brotherhood too crowded, the buildings are no longer temporary space, so I stay
in the tree one night.
Buddha heard it praised false religions is the moral compromise.
However, the
He also mass rally to teach. He asked:
- You see! In our congregation, those who deserve the best bed, enjoying life the
best food and drink?
Mass are different answers. Who, for the a flawless parade came from the royal
nobles; person, to be the spleen monks came from the Brahman race; person, for
those of practice and specialized teaching staff. Last
says:
- You see! Once upon a time in Mount Snow a bird, a chimpanzee and an elephant and
you live together. However, because the body, so their size and intelligence are all
different, so I always egotistical, do not respect each other. Later, all three knew it
was not, so deal with each other is the highest any age there are two other
children to respect and listen to teachings. Thus, after the general
network, we are reincarnated in the realm of healing. Also, if you do you know
respect the elders, not only in the present is all the praise that the next life
will be born in the realm of healing. You master! In the teachings of the Tathagata do not have the
higher and lower classes, but the elders that Greek as well as the legislative,
are high, public deserve to be respected, offerings, serve and worship.
It was the
elder was only deserve the best use of bed, enjoying life the most delicious
food and drink.
Why the Buddha taught that? Everyone understood. Religion? Shariputra and all of
them have proved to be very grateful for the teachings of
Him.
9. Wholeheartedly praise
A beautiful DEATH
Despite being an elder have attained holiness, but Venerable Sariputta
still honor for you women noble achievement in the
study.
One day, while meditating in a forest on the outskirts of the capital
city of United-amnesty, Venerable suddenly heard the loud cry of ni with special
fairy Na (Upasena) was meditating in a cave nearby. Venerable immediately
find there. That false religion, nun said:
- White teacher! Recently, while sitting in meditation, I felt like
I was crawling children. At first I did not pay attention to, but then I
knew it was a very poisonous snake, and it has bitten me. Is definitely going to
die. In this
brief moment of rest, would he happy to try to invite you and your teacher nuns
in this area came to be goodbye.
While saying these words, Advantages Three nuns Tien Na calm, do not
panic, grief, as if nothing happened. Shariputra think the situation is not so bad, so
says:
- Status not so serious that, nuns! The poisonous snake
bites, sharp interface changes immediately. I see colors and feel of
the nuns did not have anything
changed.
- White teacher! The human body is due to the four elements and five
aggregates of the same set of conditions which, it is not the subject, which is
impermanent, is not; moral is that you may encounter. So how can snake bite
what is not?
Shariputra then known as the three priority nuns Na has really reached
the. Venerable praise:
- She says is true; big and so the nuns got rid of the pain of the body,
wisdom used to maintain excellent network interface does not
change.
Saying so, Venerable speed ie to inform you little pretentious and
little nuns are practicing around. So they gathered about the cave, and hold the three
priority Na nuns out of the cave. At that time, the snake's venom was running around
in the body, the spleen nuns advantage Three Fairy Na, excellent spirit still
remain as do not have anything going on, instant nirvana. Stand ahead of human
liberation, we are happy to praise. The venerable Shariputra said to the
people:
- The practice to subdue the mind, see the death of the body as toxic
dumping cups of water, such as severe illness healed. Dying that mental states
will remain motionless, the gods still remain because the the intellectual eye
used to see the general state of the world, beyond the fire house. It is
beautiful!
Words of praise of the Venerable Sariputta for spleen nuns Three
priority Na that is also the view of Buddhism on death. The monks attained in
Buddhism are looking for death exactly the same
way.
(There are books, three priority Na is a flawless parade, children's
Venerable Sariputta. - Translator's
Note.)
10. Tolerance
Months passed, the increasing age, in that respect? Shariputra was nearly
eighty. However, because of the wish to lecture students still powerful,
religious author was not afraid of failing health, not management arduous toil,
so, after locking an populate the rainy season was over at the monastery
States-members , consecutive false religion would allow the Buddha go wandering
the lead. Buddha promised, at the same time praised the mass before the spirit of
martyrdom and because of false
religion.
He came to leave the monastery not long, suddenly a flawless parade
before the Buddha said:
- Buddha! Venerable Shariputra this is still not enough with the true mind, not
propagate Buddhism, but because the Lord has looked down upon humiliation, then
bred to be ashamed of, do not want to see her face Also, to be on the lookout
for ways to leave alone.
To speak ill of others behind so did the Buddha not satisfied.
He went to
the instant acceleration invited Venerable Sariputta returned to the monastery.
He came
straight into the hall almost Buddhist. Then, in front of large enough mass, he asked
Venerable:
- Master Sariputta! Not long after he left the monastery, there is a
teacher up here told Tathagata, he has contempt humiliated him, it is
true?
Venerable said respectfully:
- Buddha! Since the Exalted ordained in practice, and now nearly eighty years of
age. I
remember very well, during this time, I've never killed a life; never said a
word falsehoods; than to commend the truth, I never talk to the good, bad, be,
loss of, or discussed on the basis of the strengths or weaknesses of any one
person. In
the past three months to settle on the day you will repent, not to loss of
mindfulness. Mind clear as jade, do not have a slightest grievance, is there any
reason I should dare despise humiliate others! White Sun! Mud is indeed virtuous
patience. No
matter how dirty things, it can not refuse; recognize all things as feces,
urine, blood, pus, mucus, saliva, etc. get fresh food. Your heart to everyone
that you ask confided before the Blessed today, just like mud. White Sun! The water in the other,
regardless of the good and bad things, it all washed; your heart for people with
no concept of love and hate, just like the other line. White Sun! Broom used to clean the
dust bin. During the scan, it's not bad garbage good choice. Your heart for people as
well as brooms, no concept of discrimination. White Sun! Mind constantly dwell in
mindfulness, the decision can not be reckless so humiliated her teacher.
While I said
these words to The Sun, the children themselves know how my mind; and probably
leaning the other monks also know the heart of yourself. If indeed human error,
then I will ask for repentance before he was to my mind was
harrowed.
With humble but resilient attitude, respect? Shariputra expressed his
sincere heart in front of the Buddha, making the whole mass, no one is touching.
Buddha told
the spleen parade canceled Bang
Sariputra:
- He was destroyed by an elder, they can not repent. He had intended to make
up the delegation to the debate, and this meant that he did not have a
constructive harmony for the monastic community. If he does not sincerely
repent, then it will have to suffer retribution are not the
same.
Leaning the other monks heard the Buddha, who rushed to kneel in front
of the Buddha, pray:
- Buddha! Venerable Sariputta was indeed noble rank. For an intellectual and
heroic strength so that I did not know holders and learning, also fell jealousy,
Exalted mercy, for the opportunity to repent of
sin!
One way of peace, the Buddha
said:
- I go to pray penance with him
Shariputra!
The leaning the other monks went to kneel before Shariputra.
He came to
his hand and touched the soft the spleen parade and
said:
- The teachings of Buddha, the penance is extremely useful. How anyone can make
mistakes, but an error that said amendment, it is great good work. Today I accepted the
repentance of me, from now on I never make
mistakes!
Attitudes and language of mass Sariputta made entirely
peaceful.
11. IMPORT OF DIAMONDS
At that time the Buddha seated at Truc forestry monastery on the
outskirts of the capital city of United-indulgence. One day Venerable
Sariputta entered the diamond in Mountain States-soap-excavation (Grdhrakuta -
Gijjhakuta), two demon approached. Originally it was two demons are proconsul in this
mountain, a gentle called Advantage Three Ca La and a wicked name is considered.
When that
Shariputra was sitting enter, the devil shall gentle demon
that:
- Hey Advantages Three Ca La, I want to beat his crushed head monk there
too!
Gentle spirits to stop:
- Do not talk nonsense! Monk there is a disciple of the Buddha.
He is the
number one smart intellectual virtue spirit forces also profound. If you have bad
intentions for his future would eternal damnation, suffering
immeasurable.
- You afraid monk so much! Recluses are we most likely to bully the world.
For you see,
only my rights as his head crushed debris such as
dust!
- Just as you said, I was afraid you monk! But they were able to
bully, but that's because they practice patience. However, the moral force
of their strong reputation immensely, if you hit them, they can be painful for a
while, but you will forever suffer ...
But whatever demon sage said, the devil did not bother to follow.
It
immediately hand region, aiming at the top of the first false religion beat
down! Demons
do not dare look, Ben hide itself away. Say it slowly blows of the devil at that time very
quickly. Venerable suddenly feel like the leaves on the top, side discharge,
opened his eyes and saw a monster bloody torso beam to, and connect it right
into hell.
He came up, robes neatly, back to the monastery Bamboo-forest worship
Buddha comments. That false religion, Buddha
asked:
- Master Sariputta! Body of teacher
wellbeing?
- Buddha! I am still not sick at all, but just felt a bit sore on the head
only.
- Master Sariputta! Today as he entered the diamond so precious La
could not hurt
teacher; otherwise, you know, a type of mountain it can split the two
Tu-di! Knows, diamond god's power is so great, all the religious teacher should
you be diligent.
12. PERMITTED FOR BUDDHA
Nirvana BEFORE
At that time the Buddha dwells in a forest in the village of
Architecture-way, on the outskirts of Ti-amnesty-li (Vaisali - Vesali).
That day,
after the Dharma, the Buddha announced to the entire public to know that, in the
three months he will enter nirvana. His message has made all the horror, shock, and
extreme sadness. Individual Shariputra, laments that he does not want to see the Buddha
entered nirvana. In meditation, Venerable contemplation: In the past, the upper prime
disciples of Buddhas enter nirvana before the Buddhas. Today is also the head of
the Buddhist disciples, so you should also enter nirvana before
Buddha.
Think so, Venerable went to kneel before the Buddha,
said:
- Buddha! Now I want to enter nirvana, applicants Exalted promised able
to.
Buddha gazed Shariputra, new long
asked:
- Why do you want to enter nirvana so
early?
- Buddha! Exalted has said, not long before The Sun will enter nirvana.
The Sun has
given me so many great kindness, how can I take heart when see Exalted nirvana!
Furthermore,
the Buddha taught, in the past, the upper prime disciples of Buddhas enter
nirvana before the Buddhas, then I think, this, too, it is time to enter
nirvana. Please Exalted compassion promising
possibility.
- I want to enter nirvana in?
- Buddha! Village Ca-la-ti-noa-ca is my home, where the mother of this child is
over one hundred years old and still healthy. I want there to visit his
mother one last time, then you will enter nirvana right in the room where the
mother had previously born child.
- I was like that, the Tathagata can not stop. There, he is the head of
the disciples of the Tathagata, so before you leave, the teacher should also
have some teaching to the public.
Buddha finally told Venerable Ananda to invite all the monks gathered in
the auditorium. When mass have gathered large enough, Venerable Shariputra towards the
Buddha said:
- Buddha! From countless lifetimes you have been looking for the Buddha was born
to the age of the universe, and in the end, this life has been fulfilled.
Joy to see
the Buddha of the real world nothing can compare! For more than forty
years, would result compassionate Buddha taught that a foolish as I have opened
the eyes of wisdom, to see clearly the truth. Joy and gratitude for
Buddha's truth can not use the language of the world to describe. Now, no longer how long
you will since passed away. Thanks to the age of the Wisdom of Buddha that I
get rid of all the constraints of the world, no longer suffering, and enter the
realm of nirvana and liberation. White Sun! That is my little goodbye, revered for me is
worship!
He came to pay homage to the Buddha. The atmosphere in the
hall at that time was serious, taciturn ... The Buddha said to
Shariputra:
- Master Sariputta! All that the Tathagata has spoken, I have
perceived. Life Tathagata Register now for teachers: In the future life, he will
become a Buddha name United Optical Tathagata, flat world of beings to complete
the religion unsurpassed results.
Buddha had finished speaking mass finally told Venerable Sariputta on
his way. Word up birds floral farewell
false religion. They go into a restaurant, very quiet, very dignified, but also very
sad! Almost
no one crying ...
13. The final words
PUBLIC WITH
Mass silence followed Venerable Sariputta was a period way, Venerable
halt. Mass
also stopped by. Venerable Mass facing back to front, respectfully
said:
- I would like to thank all of them. You see me here like that
is enough. Now you just give yourself permission subjective Earlier in my opinion,
is all you would like to return to the monastery to continue his studies.
Ladies and
mass! The
practice is essential above all, I hope you always endeavor diligently to
quickly get rid of the preferential binding bi suffering and enter into the
world of free, liberated. Buddha appears in the world, like cotton offers
bowl la blooms, for thousands of years to a time. Being born as a human is
difficult, that is the true faith, certainty, purity, devout in the Three Jewels
even harder. Now we have been a life of dignity, taught by the Buddha itself, which
is rare in the hundreds of thousands of all life depression. All things are
impermanent. Please you practice heart, ardent forever to escape suffering and
achieve nirvana calm. That's where our permanent security. I also expect you, as the
Buddha that his widely praised teaching. All go for the welfare of humanity, not for the
fame of his own personal. More
posts!
Heard this false religion, mass deeply moved. They all know that, once
this type of false religion will be gone forever. Venerable will never
return again. So the words of the false religion today is also the last good message
of false religion to them. No one is not respectful. No one is mercilessly
pity! Therefore, even religious author reiterates special report and mass
application turned on his heel, but everyone attachment, quietly standing in
place, could not bear to leave the false religions. Somehow, false religion
had turned his steps ... Mass and still stood silently watched ...
They think
the "from now no one will be seen first intelligence level anymore!", Suddenly
everyone in tears! Whether masses are enlightened, but the people, the guidance and
friendship will always be things true love in the hearts of
many.
14. Native land
After special worship Buddha and the Sangha, on the way to the country,
in the heart of Venerable Sariputta have arise much thought;, but not so that
disorder, on the other hand, the religious mind and pretend that time back more
brilliant than ever. He came to see himself as standing on top of the snow-painted, and the
whole universe, then clearly stand out in my mind; any false sense of religious
feeling infinite concept ...
When you get close to the old village, the sun had just set, leaving
only a trail of it on the horizon, Venerable sat down one side of the road to
rest. Suddenly, the grandson of false religion is the advantage Ba Li Ba Da
ran to worship, the Venerable asked:
- Grandmother at home do not
you?
- Venerable Sir, I have at home
grandmother.
- I do, please tell her that you just got
back!
- Yes!
- I said to her, let the janitor clean the room when she gave birth to
ancient physicians. Uncle to rest here for a moment before going
on.
- Yes!
I did not know he came home to do, so just a yellow ink and ran quickly
home to little grandmother said.
Long time Shariputra not ever go home. Now suddenly believe me
on the old lady joy unspeakable. But now Shariputra age 80, but for the old woman,
false religion is still very young children as his own youth ... Scan to clean up the old
room was born Shariputra? How strange! But the fun is about to meet her daughter for a
moment longer has specific anti-soul, do not have to wonder
what!
The room has been clean sweep is complete, false religion had just
arrived. Specifically she and the family are excited to tears. He
said:
- Finally, and great faith in!
Venerable also expressed joy to be reunited with her mother and everyone
in the house. But immediately, the Venerable sir right with her stuff about his
intention to give her stuff and clearly everyone in the house. Stuff she heard that the
sheer horror! He came to the provincial
town:
- Please parents do not panic! The nirvana of the child is so happy, because it is
different from the death of ordinary people. Now mind completely calm
and lucid. This life I have been lucky meet Buddha and chemical, is saved from the
sea love of life and death, to be liberated from the suffering of afflictions,
absolutely no longer a fear. Today I have about this is to enter nirvana.
Ask parents
to rejoice over in my life who did not have the time of death, but if the dead
are not confused to permanently reside in the realm of nirvana calm as you
today, it is great happiness.
In particular she is very sad but also understand the Venerable said.
Specifically
clearly see the beauty and freedom liberation of their children while preparing
to die, suddenly within the tool and start up the boundless joy. Instruments wished back
to at death are so ...
Then the Venerable recited the language of the Buddha for her stuff and
people listen. Specifically she understands the religious mind of the author,
said:
- The faith says is true, beyond birth and death, the mind is not
deluded into the realm of nirvana is the supreme happiness. She was very happy.
Great faith
go stay for a while.
Specifically she said but his eyes still in tears, immediately return to
your room ...
15. Nirvana
After her stuff and everybody was out, Venerable told uncle attendant
capita:
- I go to the next room, his teacher stay here
then.
At midnight that day, the Venerable Shariputra news home to nirvana has
been spread throughout the village. Most villagers have refuge in the Three Jewels,
hear are instantly pulled together to gather in front of the false religion;
even, King Ajatasatru time was in the city square-distance, heard that the speed
leading courtiers to. All religious people would admire authors last time
and the last to hear the teachings of false religions. Text visibility capita
replace, afraid of people doing the Venerable, instant seating arrangements for
them, ask them to sit quietly waiting for fake religious
audience.
Already very late night, everyone was sitting quietly waiting!
They saw an
oil lamp in the true identity of the false religion, others are completely
silent, no sound ...
Until dawn, the Venerable called First Army,
asked:
- Has anyone out?
- Yeah right! The villagers heard about this teacher to enter
nirvana should go for to be very crowded; king to
too.
- Is that so? I invite you to her in
both.
Relevant head out to King Ajatasatru and everyone in the house.
Those who
previously only heard of but never seen a false religion, now is the occasion,
they rejoiced immensely. However, they did not rush headlong, sequentially
into the house in silence, not noise. When the room was full of people, who are not to be
stopped at the door in silence. When mass was still you, Venerable
speak:
- You have to be real time. I also would like to meet you to see each other for
the last time. Over the past forty years I was lucky to be ordained by the Buddha, or
the practice side, or when gold destined to go the place of practice, I have
never started up an unhappy anniversary for the funded it; contrary, the feeling
of my appreciation for him any more and levels. For extensive teachings
as the sea of people, there are still many things I do not master the whole;
today thinking that I'm ashamed in my heart. What I want to say to you
today is to ask you to keep in mind that we are born to meet Buddha head is
extremely hard work, thousands of lives is not easy to get. So you must obey his
teachings diligently studied. Of sea treasures in Buddhism is a lot, but if you
do not earnestly seek the impossible. I had nothing to hold. Today I would like to
enter into the realm of nirvana citizenship, permanent resident in the universe
born undying. Please report your special!
Venerable finished speaking, lying on your right side, dwelling in the
samadhi, and nirvana! Previous new, heard false religion, false look at
the serenity of religious identity, one knows that the ceiling was about to
leave! So
King Ajatasatru and mass are reverently, multiples for and sympathy extremely
...
16. SPIRIT
Permanently in the human
world
After the Venerable Sariputta's death seven days, the First Army went to
the body of the Venerable above to fire for tea ceremony spleen; then relics of
Venerable take place Buddha dwells. (now 45th end of Lent,
the Buddha is seated on the outskirts of the city ti-amnesty-li, and that's the
last Lent in Buddha's life. - Translator's Note.) First religious Army First look author Ananda and briefly narrated the
incident. The tears, Venerable Ananda Buddha per capita leads to almost submitted
to a thorough way the death of the Venerable Sariputta. Buddha quietly listened.
Military
First report done, because too tragic, Venerable Ananda crying out loud.
Buddha to
the provincial town:
- A teacher Nan ! He should not be so
tragic too! Master Sariputta passed away not that
noble?
A Nan reverently
said:
- Buddha! Brother Shariputra of us who have extreme high intelligence, discipline,
posture very seriously, eloquence sermon, lifelong enthusiasm for the spread of
chemical, it is not restricted to we know, all the time claiming to spread.
Now suddenly
our brother not in the world anymore, because I think the perspective of the
Chief Justice, of the congregation of thousands of years later, so very sad.
Not alone
the grief that everyone, everyone can not take
heart!
Buddha consoled:
- Master Sariputta was no longer in the world but teaching is still
there. Impermanent, which is the true form of the world, as well as the birth
and death which is the moral nature of the universe. Not be long before the
Tathagata will enter nirvana! Your teacher then you should not be disappointed,
because the teachings of the Tathagata is still intact and not lost by the
Tathagata. Even thousands, tens of thousands of years later, if any who hold real
conviction in the Tathagata, the Tathagata always present in their minds and
their holders. You should rely on the Dharma teacher should not rely on anyone
else.
Job done few words, to get the relics of the Buddha Venerable Sariputta
capita level rise, brought before the public, he
taught:
- You leaned parade! This flexible core, a few days ago, is the great
Tri Shariputra, vast infinite wisdom, except the Tathagata, no one can match.
He had
realized the legal nature, life sexual minorities, basics, regular practice of
meditation, always courageous, diligent, enthusiasm for teaching and for the
students, the vanquished the pagan and celebrate thick high true Dhamma.
Master
Sariputta was completely cut all your suffering, they are directed through
liberation. You master! Let's see it! This is the firstborn of the relics of the
Tathagata!
Buddha say it is complete, all of them, no one told anyone, are bowed
respectfully bowed before the relics of the Venerable
Sariputta.
Venerable Sariputta died, but his spirit still exist forever in the
world ...
Venerable Moggallana
( Maudgalyayana -
Moggallana)
(Upper prime
psychic
the most
generous)
_________________________________________
1. Early servant
OF BUDDHA
Today, every time you step into the main hall of the temple, hospital,
we often see on the central altar, statues, Shakyamuni Buddha (Sakya) seated on
a lotus in the center, and standing almost two sides of the Buddha, to the
Venerable Ananda object (Ananda) and left is false religious subjects
Mahakasyapa (Maha-Kasyapa - Mahakassapa);, but in the early years of the
Buddha's preaching is not so.
Shariputra (Sariputra - Sariputta) and Moggallana ordained by the Buddha
in the first two years after the Buddha attained enlightenment. From refuge in the
Buddha, Sariputta Buddha standing almost always right, and Moggallana, most of
the left. Except for the time to go wandering through the Ministry of
Communications, and then when they leave the
Buddha.
Shariputra half months, has cut all your afflictions; but Moggallana,
only seven days after publication is an end to all illegal or divine
manifestation, we arahat.
Venerable Moggallana, tall, square face, big ears, his face always
looked resilient, optimistic, courageous character, always because of righteous
things upset intervention.
In the congregation of the Lord Buddha, the number of certified miracles
abound, but only Moggallana divine worship is the most
extensive.
2. Pure magic
Why Venerable Moggallana were such miracles? It is related to the
story of a past life of Venerable as
follows:
In a past life, Moggallana riverine fishery, usually caught fish in the
sea as a livelihood. One day, suddenly healthy mind arises, he himself knows that living that
way is not righteousness, people living in this life to know to make merit for
the next life. He then decided to change careers. Then soon, he noticed a
Buddha Bich Chi frequented in the city. Recently calm, stately self in virtue of the Buddha
made his mind reverently. One day, he invited him home to lunch offerings.
Nguyen Bich
Chi Buddha never used legal device that only uses magic to chemical, so after
the meal is finished, Then he jumped nowhere, either left or right, or front or
back, or above or below discretion. He see that'm very excited, went vow afterlife how
divine also demand from them.
Have the will to succeed. Venerable Moggallana, by the vow was that in this
life is to follow the Lord Shakyamuni (Sakyamuni), has seen miracles but also is
considered to be one of the parameters of the high level followers of the
Buddha.
3. BRIDGING based BUDDHA SONG
Talking about miracles of Moggallana, ear sound boat, though sound in
near or far away are heard clearly; eyes, even if the object is obscured objects
see also penetrated; way though far from universal miles, but only for a moment
as to where ... Venerable often mystically was to help Buddha in the
process.
Once people in the whole into Xa-defense (Sravasti - Savatthi) gathered
displays feast offering for all you priests of the 96 different denominations.
They also
invited the Persian king NAC (Prasenajit - Pasenadi), the prince and the great
spirit of the court to attend. Dinner is served on a large square on the other
side of the river A-period. Today it, Moggallana is the upper first arrivals.
A moment
later, our map of the other sects in turn gathered;, but at that moment suddenly
rising river levels, making them unable to wade through the river. They said to each other:
"The river today suddenly rise, we do not how to live real life.
Well, try to
wait a while longer monk Gotama (Gautama - the Gotama) to see if there is any
way ... " Just at that moment,
Moggallana just saw the Buddha leads up coming from a distance. The venerable went used
mental validate a bridge over the river to the Buddha and the increase can go
through. Just see the bridge suddenly appear, the other pagan religious
incredibly excited, said to each other: "He monk was sure to be
late! God
has done to help us cross the river before. We have to be VIPs at the
party. We
have to be sitting in the best place ... " he said, as they had just scrambled over the bridge, but when the
middle of the bridge, suddenly heard "beam", the bridge was broken. Everyone fell into the
water, screaming for help, seven bars, a regional shocks. Then the Buddha and we
also had to increase the river, the bridge appeared as before. Buddha and they rose up
the steps. Seeing the condition of the river can be dangerous, the Buddha of
compassion, went to apply god save everyone on the bridge and force them into
the river. As to the shore, everyone looked back, the bridge is gone. When Buddha and they were
seated increase life, the pagan priests still hong dry clothes in the sun at
noon. Whereupon they wake up, know that myself just like a faint light of the
oil lamp, can not compare with his light shine like the sun of the Buddha and
the Sangha.
4. WITH BUDDHA LIKE COMMENTS
In meditation
Once the Buddha residing in the monastery States-members (Jetavana) in
the Xa-defense, but Sariputta and Moggallana then residing in the monastery
Truc-forest (Venuvana) in the United-amnesty (Rajagrha - Rajagaha) .
The two
meditation together in a net loss.
That night was a very quiet night. Outside the meditation
retreat, moonlight John radiate vague; inside, only a flickering oil lamp.
There is no
sound.
First day is over. The middle of the night passed. By the end of the night,
suddenly Shariputra voice broke the quiet atmosphere. The venerable
question:
Hey brother Moggallana! Please forgive me the mild this question: Is this
all night brothers residing within the
district?
- Why brother asked me that? Moggallana asked
softly.
- Because I did not hear the breath of the brothers. Brother, did not roll
over or have any slight movement. In almost no brothers during the period from the
first day until now.
- What is going on! Tonight because suddenly thought of the problem
'effort in the study should have instantly accelerated to ask the Buddha taught.
All night I
was with him to talk.
Brother said it's hard to understand. Buddha now in the
States-where in the North, and we are in Bamboo-forest where
theMale
- No! Buddha and me are not mystically sufficient to go
anywhere.
- So brother spoke the Buddha by
what?
- Brothers Shariputra sir! This is nothing strange at all. Blessed with natural
labeled and natural ears. Things this divine brothers and I also saw a little
bit then. Now just use outsourcing as we can to talk with him any where and at any
time.
Shariputra not know it, but only because of false religions often take a
humble attitude to dealing with people only. When Moggallana said
that, Venerable very happy, Then
praise:
- Brother vast divine virtue high. I was the same brother to
study, also a teacher, It is great honor. Brother match like high mountains, vast
magnificent; I like small stones placed next to brother; sitting with brother,
it is predestined is hard to meet. In this world, if someone does know and close back
and forth, are glass offerings brother, then he will definitely have huge
blessing!
Listen Shariputra, Moggallana also humbly
replied:
- Me too. Today I was sitting with elders blessings intellectual integrity
Shariputra, such as small stones that are placed next to the mountains, I feel
calm, excited and honored to infinity!
Moggallana and Shariputra is just as you are learning as you lead a long
year. They
respect each other, praise each other from beginning to end; friendship and rare
director clings on life.
5. AI the most divine
Moggallana longtime friend Sariputta, not those who have great wisdom,
but also a person with great powers. When the director of the construction of the
monastery States-in Xa-guard, false religion has been applied 18 magic to
competition and won the pagan leaders. So, for the people the Xa-defense, false religion
known as a person with great wisdom and great psychic
medium.
One time, on the day of the full moon, the Buddha's theory to the monks
by the lake A-recruiter-reaching. Missing Shariputra, the Buddha told
Moggallana:
- I go to the Xa-guard invited him
Shariputra.
Moggallana network yep go. Arrived, Venerable said to
Shariputra:
- Buddha invites brother to watch A-recruiter-reach, for about gender
theory.
Relics-Phat meet:
- Thank you, Brother has brought the Buddha's orders to convey me.
For a while
before we go. Now let's play a little game!
- What's Playing?
- Hey, brother! Brother is an elder of great miracles. So this is a band shirt,
please brother let it into a tree matches
subtitles!
Shariputra was done immediately threw the shirt to the ground strip.
Moggallana
picked up but could not move it. Moggallana have to use magic, and getting the band
shirt, made the ground vibrate. Sariputta went shock the shirt brought tied to the
mountain range Tu-di, Moggallana also quick to pour it down the mountain Tu-up.
Shariputra
night long robe tied to the throne of the Buddha, and this time, though
Moggallana had brought all mental energy also can not shake the throne was.
Shariputra
laugh, tell Moggallana:
- Brother! What we learn and practice evidence, if compared with the universal
Buddha universal ethics, very far from a sky area. Spirit's power we can
shake the mountains Tu-di, shook the heavens and the earth, but with the legal
court is not able to make the move. Today as I suspect with god my power, so I invited
the brothers to the test to see if it does not. Well now let's hurry
Posts expected. Brother go ahead, I will follow
immediately.
Heard this Shariputra, Moggallana was very respected. After nodding to
Shariputra, Venerable immediately apply God continue to return to the lake
A-recruiter-reaching. But When he arrived, saw Shariputra sit in the
shower next to the Buddha himself time! He came to pay homage to the Buddha and expressed
that question, said:
- Buddha! Maybe you've lost your spirit continue? From the monastery
States-members on here, I have to go ahead brother, so now his back like before?
Bhagavan
often said that children are the most divine, but religious name should now for
his rather like.
Buddha from Republic comfort:
- Master Moggallana! He is the great miracle, except the Tathagata, no
one can compare. He also did not lose spirit continue. I should know, I
Sariputta who has great wisdom.
After the theory presented in the lake A-recruiter-reach, the Buddha
leads to increase return the Xa-defense. Mass the Xa-defense, after that story will stir the
talk, said that the miracles of Shariputra superior Moggallana. Hear comments of people
that Moggallana not feel dissatisfied. With a liberal heart, humility, he came to know
that Shariputra was superior. Listen mass praise Sariputta, Venerable feel
honored as yourself is commendable. But Sariputta own feel satisfied. He came to believe that
the last made Moggallana lose face. The venerable consecutive Buddhist
transparency:
- Buddha! Brother Moggallana who has great mental power, of great deeds.
Recently I
had to watch A-recruiter-reached earlier is because you are too quick to hear
Buddha's theory, and his is like manipulate mental force but did not want to
rush. Now
the public will stir the talk, saying that the spirit of the superior force of
the than his; thing like that you do not claim. Exalted Please use way to
remove words unfair criticisms of
mass.
Buddha smiled nodded. He said the two men were extremely humble, love
you. One
day, after teaching experience, Buddha told
Moggallana:
- Hey Mr. Moggallana! He is the great divine, in public no one can
compare. He
also did not lose spirit continue. Now in front of them, he's expressed in dread
spiritual powers to raise confidence for those
rudiments.
Moggallana obey Buddha, walked out of the seat, a foot pedal on this
earth, a foot bike in heaven Pham-natural, made for earth tremors six times.
He came back
from on air used Pham negative to say shelves, make you flawless monks present
in the hall cut all your defilements, wisdom lit. Since then, everyone
honored false religion is the most
divine.
6. PRODUCT mountains violations
RELEASE
During the Buddha in the world, in India, the number of pagan religious
witness is not small, but unfortunately they do not enlighten the ultimate
truth, do not practice the virtues of compassion, wisdom property, so they did
not escape the cycle of birth and death and still depressed in the six paths of
reincarnation. For this you have pagan magic, to get the exclusive of a Buddha used to
tell Moggallana mystically to neutralize them. One day he
said:
- This Moggallana! In the other a large kingdom in the border area,
from the king to the people of all religions worship the violations that did not
even know what the Dharma. Many violations only in that they are divine, can
move mountains, the river, the body of transformation. He should go there,
arbitrarily that used dread virtue or divine power to subdue them, make them
believe for Buddhism, wicked ways to return to the right
path.
The venerable network yep, flying nowhere. To where Venerable find
lots violation of press sitting around a large mountain. View the situation, it
seems like they're applying mental force to move the mountain. The venerable went hung
high mountain was nowhere and make it impossible to be more mobile. They are taken as pagan
horror, one said: "It has moved up the mountain, why anyone would make it real like this!
Or that we
have a person impure? " Suddenly they look up in
the air and saw someone standing in the middle of nowhere, right on top of the
mountain. Then they pushed loudly:
- Who are you, how did you dare to let loose? This mountain obstructing
traffic, our monarch wrong move it away. That we as people, minus the disadvantages, why do
you tamp it moving?
Moggallana smiled:
- Clearly, I'm standing in the middle of nowhere, why are you telling me
your tamp down the mountain?
Violations will increase mental strength, three times trying to push the
mountain, but the mountain still the real estate course. While they are worried,
do not know how to respect the author calls them,
said:
- Hey! Please note, on this view of the mountain
away!
Venerable said, done, all the other massive mountain high suddenly
turned to go away, in front of them is only a per site. They found that, the more
horror, large bow only say:
- Dear great faith! The faith come from? If not rank high
intelligence, deep piety, how thick do last! So ask the Lord to
receive our disciples and would only present to our dark
places.
Then the new false religion from the sky down, talk to them from the
mix:
- I already know through your sincerity. You want to give up the
darkness to find the bright places, religious order, I would like to introduce
my teacher, it was the Buddha. He is the God above all gods, saints, above all the
saints, full of wisdom, is still universal. Please follow me on the
same to him for refuge, most compassionate person will
receive.
Violations of the press asked:
- Director of the virtues of the Buddha beyond great faith at
all?
Venerable serious response:
- Buddha Mount Tu-Mobile, and we are just like a mustard seed; mustard
seed, what could compare with the mountains Tu-di! Buddha as the sea, and we
are just like a river; river, what can compare to sea! Meet Buddha is very
difficult, so refuge with him you will be
chemistry.
They only heard very glad, are voluntary by Moggallana went on Buddha to
sleep, please refuge in religious
life.
7. Vanquished the evil that
Moggallana though common sense to surrender to evil, pagan, false
religious but often or harassed they
come.
One day religious gold Buddha networks, alone to Bat-old country to
teach. While
false religion is meditation on the empty streets, a monster sighting.
It went
mystically entered the womb of false religion. False religion suddenly
felt severe abdominal pain. In what seems to be a lump of belly bowl, with loud
noises like thunder. He came immediately back to the net loss. After a static
coordinates and observe, Venerable knew that evil want to disturb her.
Venerable
said:
- This evil! Let's get out here! It's better you should not violate the Buddha and
his disciples, for sure you can not do harmful interference are they; unless the
person karma not stop him, did not you permanently do not do
anything.
Evil thought: "Monster weird! Despite what the Buddha did not know, Moggallana
wherever miracles to be, how do you know me?
"
He came back and said:
- This monster! You do not wonder! You just think, no matter
there is the Buddha can not know what you are, let alone us, whether psychic,
how to know you, is not it? You're
mistaken!
Demons hear then get scared very, instant saliva that get out.
Since then
it never dared to return teaser false
religion.
8. BEAUTY MI HUMAN
NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE SPIRIT
interpretation
Moggallana not no magic damage, but for the beauty of the United States
women can not tarnish the virtue of false religion. One day, alms on the way
back, passing through a forest, false religion saw a young woman about middle
age, sitting on the road waiting. When he arrived in front of arrest, she stood up,
glanced to the, mouth gracious smile, whisper
said:
- Venerable Oh! He going to forget you? There are free, talk to
me for a moment you!
He came to halt, eyes stared at the young woman. Although she has more
than thirty years old, but charming beauty and her charm is full of attractive
young men lovesick. Not the religious authors look closely at her face and physique but also
see through her mind. With an attitude of peace and liberation, Venerable
using words true majesty said to the
woman:
- What a pity for her! Her body was not clean, but her soul is even more
obscure. She
thought might take her mind any district to wiggle reach
us?
The woman paused, interior
color:
- Venerable! Venerable! He ... He said what? I do not
understand!
- She could not hope to hide her wicked thoughts. She waited here with the
intention of what we had seen it all. She was entranced beauty in a kind of misleading
and it is helping her a lot of opportunities to sin; well as old elephant sunk
in the muddy beach, as she sat up more and get deeper and
down.
Young woman as the provincial arc to
sleep:
- Dear Venerable! Have you seen my mind, then I also knew I could not
lie to him anymore! For a long time I have heard people say that he was the most divine
disciple of the Buddha, but I do not believe that miracles can beat the beauty
of the fine staff. Now I know that I am a woman of many sins deep. I want in mind user
friendly, not like many other stubborn. But do you think that perhaps you are someone who
does not deserve to be saved. I have a past so terrible, how future retribution
tied.
Woman's feelings eventually become weak. She said, crying Ram
numbness, tears flowing solid wash. He came to
comfort:
- She do not be sad, and do not be disappointed. Although in the past she
has created deep sin in any way, just know repentance, she was still able to
rescue. Dirty clothes washing water can clean; dirty mind, we used the teachings
of the Buddha to wash away. From hundreds of river water despite pollution,
once flowed into the sea immediately becomes clear. Hoop Enlightenment
Buddha's teachings, too, can wash away all the uncleanness of the human mind, to
eliminate all the mistakes of the
past.
False religious teachings made fresh young woman must face. She felt the mind is more
calm, bright eyes, and offer hope filled. She
respectfully:
- Dear Venerable! True teachings of the Buddha of compassion, so
great stars! But what's past is very bad too! Unfortunate offspring having the whole story, I say
to make you have to cover your ears, cover your
eyes!
- It's okay! She kept them all for me. Well, what's her
name?
- Dear Venerable! I called Lotus-Sac (Utpalavarna - Uppalavanna),
which was the son of a bourgeois in German-remove-test-la. At the age of sixteen
children married. Soon, father and son died, and mother, from her husband. As you know, the dotted
stomach ache. At that time I just gave birth to a daughter, in anger you went to take
throw it in the dust, and then run away. Then take another husband. The husband is usually
working away. One day he was from a German-remove-test-was back, had lied to get a
few thousand gold to buy a baby girl as his wife. Italy sent her this
little wife at home to friends, kept very secret, afraid I know; later but then
I also know about it. You know, crying loudly, demanded that he left for
me to see her face to see how she is and how that won the love of her husband.
When you
see and know her then,, Venerable dear, my heart hurt to death fainted!
He came to
know? She
was not unfamiliar to anyone, that is my daughters with husbands
before!
Speaking of this, Lotus Sac moved too, cried step up. Moggallana
comfort:
- She Lotus Sac! She do not be so sad! When a person sees
clearly the past, present, future, and to see clearly the causal line interlaced
wrap. Authentic words, life is a deep pool of sin. Her story about how she
kept calm after!
- Dear Venerable! How to bear the lash of this blizzard!
Mother
previously thought to have been robbed of a husband, and my daughter is now back
with her fought a husband, children also face nose that looked galaxy!
So I ran
away from home. I hate this world. Hate mankind. Then turn yourself into
a sex women for this world, this humanity make fun;, and as he came to see that,
you are living a life of sin and dirty like this. Dear Venerable, any
sinners also do, as long as there is money and cause sorrows to others.
I need not
tell you, but false religion also know why today I tried to wait here;
fortunately encountered a level of miracles, false morality as religious
integrity; but children how to repentance exchange with Venerable
now?
Listen to the story of his life Lotus Lust, Moggallana had no idea her
contempt, on the other hand, in that moment, Venerable saw where her mind very
honest, very friendly, very aesthetic. To give her peace of mind, he came closer to her,
using words from the air best to
encourage:
- She Lotus Sac! Indeed, she has a body that is too painful, shame,
but if she is determined to practice according to the teachings of the Buddha,
the period he also predestined to end, she will be totally free, safe optimism
and liberation. Could you please follow me on audience with the
Buddha.
Lotus Sac feel infinite joy. The reason she was rescued, was changed from a
life sinister become a life full of bliss thanks to the Venerable Moggallana,
who both have divine powers and know how to use skillful means to neutralize
level.
9. FRENCH SOUND OF BUDDHA
LISTENING
How far?
In the congregation of the Lord Buddha, Moggallana was the most lively
lifestyle. What does anyone do it, false religion; somewhere no one went to,
Venerable go.
One day in the United-indulgence, when the Buddha is said in the
lecture hall Truc-forest monastery Moggallana sit in meditation furniture.
But
meditation furniture well away from the classroom, but a false religion still
hear the voice, a voice of Buddha. The work was done for false religion very strange.
Workers,
false religion has spawned the idea is to test whether the sound of the Buddha
can hear how far. The venerable continuous use spirit, come out of the world Buddha
Ta-three to twenty in Australia, to the country of Buddha can In United
(Lokesvararaja) is said legal.
Moggallana has often traveled to the Buddhist view, and like a complete
travel experience, where every time you go to religious author also there as
your main home. False religion are now in this remote country, Buddha met at The
Independence United're talking legal, should be greatly delighted, went gently
before the court, find a place to sit down to
hear.
There are things that say it can not take the thought or discussion
that can be understood. Moggallana sitting here listen to the Buddha to be
liberated Wang said, but in addition to this the voice of the Buddha, Venerable
still clearly hear the voice of the Buddha Sakyamuni in the world take I-her!
At the
moment, the Buddha to be liberated United discontinuation said. A Bodhisattva came
before the court bowed to the Buddha, and only toward Moggallana
said:
- Buddha! When Buddha is said law shall not know where the other animals running
here, looks so weird. Let us chase it
away!
The Buddha of Independence United immediately stopped and
said:
- You do not say so! That Moggallana, the most divine disciples of
Buddha Shakyamuni in Ta-her world.
We Bodhisattva said:
- Buddha! Why his body being so small?
The reason they asked Bodhisattva is because the body of the people in
the world than the world in Ta-she is taller than a few hundred times.
The Buddha
of Independence United explanation:
- He should not despise this false religion. He has great psychic,
stately great virtue, often traveled to the national level, of a self-in.
Different
body sizes is due to the karma of sentient beings in the world are not the same
that feeling.
Saying Buddha turned to security
Moggallana:
- This Moggallana! He was from another world come, first manifesting
the spirit of them Bodhisattva disciples we look to eliminate their suspicion or
to him!
Moggallana immediately shifting compassionate Buddha's, manifesting
psychic evolution, and then returned to the old place to sit down. We saw this Bodhisattva
went to show our respect. Buddha
asked:
- This Moggallana! Did he come to our country to try sound of the
Buddha Shakyamuni to hear how far?
- Yes, venerable sir! A My heart do so. Moggallana respectfully
answered.
- This Moggallana! He should not have the idea that, because of the
dread power of the Buddhas in the ten directions, the excess sensitivity can not
fully comprehend clearly. French pronunciation of the Buddhas filled the
void. For
the grace of living beings, the realm far, so impossible to get the mind to
distinguish near and far that the that sound legal test of the
Buddhas.
After listening to the teachings of the Buddha The Self At United,
religious author himself ashamed. Since then, the Buddha's Sangha, Venerable though
still alive, but no longer dared to use his psychic powers to work to no
avail.
10. They ask about your
Karmic retribution
Not only often traveled to the Buddha, Moggallana often to the realm
Location-hell to observe beings in the participation guarantee that bear fruit
like.
On the way out, one day to the banks of the Ganges, has dark,
Moggallana stood by step, sitting enter the river to wait for the
morning.
Light night wind, clear sky full of stars. Where Suddenly, we
converted from very crowded to the river to get water, but was a real evil demon
guarding the river there, holding the iron rod chase, making them not dare down
the river water. At that time, in meditation, Moggallana observe and clearly see our
poor are not the same, called in they sit around, they have the chance to ask
Venerable own karmic human her.
The first demon asked:
- Dear Venerable! Past life, but now, we must fall lost in the
Self-demons, often starving. Heard the Ganga in the cool water, but when you
get water to drink, extremely hot, just need to take a sip, is the record of the
five organs were burned, has it been the other evil demon chase . So please respect the
author said at once you have created something which must bear its consequences
today?
After a moment the mental capacity to observe, Venerable
replied:
- Wait before doing divination. While talking about the visceral assault of
people, who are often arbitrary praise, lie than to tell the truth, claiming to
know everything, but the truth is deceptive, just as profit for themselves that
are interested in enchanting beings; therefore new people suffer retribution
suffering as today.
The second demon asked:
- Dear Venerable! Often a dog so big, so strong meat. When meat is over, the
wind blowing through the bone, instantly meat back to the dog's food.
I do not
know for what reason you suffer such
retribution?
- Because previous life you usually kill the pigs, goats, chickens,
ducks for meat prayers to god, to this day suffer such
retribution.
Third demon asked:
- Dear Venerable! Belly as big as a few small limbs and throat, such
as needle, see what the food cravings that can not be eaten. I do not know for what
reason you suffer such retribution?
- For previous to the prime minister, but because of self-dependence
wealthy ruling elite that despise bullying, taking over hard-earned assets by
the human eye, even from the enjoyment, so on now suffer such
retribution.
The fourth demon asked:
- Dear Venerable! Then head to the game, my tongue is large to fill
the whole upper torso, while the blood itself from spraying in the lower half of
the body, the blood always wanted tanks, life slim piece as the only piece.
I do not
know for what reason you suffer such
retribution?
- Kiep old people just like to talk about marketing fees, or talking
about the bad the good of the people, the things people say never bring benefit
to the people that just make people suffer, so now you have to subject to such
retribution.
There are many questions like that, and every every false religion
satisfactory answer.
11. RESOURCES BY VU DAY LAN
One day Moggallana suddenly remembered his mother died. In meditation,
contemplative religious author saw his mother to suffer retribution in the
Self-demons. Her withered body emaciated, just skin and bone stick, neck, small
sewing needle, the situation looked very hungry. Venerable sympathy
incredibly, went to get a bowl filled with rice that give rise to the mother.
See her
glad rice, rice and put it in his mouth to eat, but suffering, the rice to
mouth, turned to fire, can not eat! Seeing her like that, Venerable cute, sad, painful
too!
He came to know that my poor mother is very heavy, but its best not to
do anything to save her mother, went to worship the Buddha comments as clearly
the last story and asked the Buddha taught the method to save the mother.
He
says:
- This Moggallana! Since his mother's guilt too deep here, so even
god force of broad teacher, and even though the teacher's filial piety touches
the heavens and the earth, but only the power of his master could not be saved
her stand out of the realm of suffering. To save her, he must turn to god's power whole new
increase them. Only pay voluntary power of the general increase new make spirit force,
making karma will eliminate teacher and mother escape the retribution
suffering.
So, every year on the full moon day of July is on "suicide" of the
monks graduation when at home, you should ask the monks who organize holidays
pay vows to households to the parents has died as well as alive. The dutiful son, come on
should purchases boy part, floral tea fruits to make offerings to the monks;
because monks in the ten directions, or was meditating in cave or river, or
meditation under a tree, or practice and evidence four fruition Bar-written, or
was certified six miracles and are taught that this is an order, or the
Bodhisattvas are the means of the chemical in the body Minister spleen monks,
the holy them so much, their morality is pure, their merit as the ocean, so best
to pay their vows together will be extremely powerful, to make parents and
relatives were so current in previous generations dissipate karma, free
isolation of retribution suffering in the darkness, and also for the parents and
relatives who are blessed to live more optimistic. That is the mystery and
effective method to perform filial
piety.
Buddha taught thoroughly, Moggallana glad my weight. On suicide, medical
Venerable Buddhist teachings, the same mass appeal as the chapel for the
template itself; indeed, so that she get rid of the suffering Russian
place-spirits. To reward the Buddha, Venerable has brought Buddhist teachings that
guide to Buddhist Vu Lan festival every year to meet the temple thanks parental
nurturing. And also because of this reason, in addition to the honor of
"most divine" , Venerable Moggallana
also honored as root "great taste".
12. SHELVES BY SEVEN BUDDHA
With vast psychic, Moggallana could see that everything that happens in
all three life: past, present and future. Venerable is also often replaced Buddha said
law.
One day, because of the urgent needs of the public, the Buddha told
Venerable talking about the past lives of the Shakya clan. The venerable network
has employed sufficient to observe the history of this family from a variety of
ancient life, and then sequentially meticulously recounted. Public hearing were
found that Buddha Shakyamuni was born into the family, and achievements direct
result enlightenment, is not
predestined.
Then one day, the mass gathering together to present their insights in
the study, religious author has read the public hearing the Buddha's verse seven
as follows:
Bad things to avoid
Every good work to do
Keep the mind pure
It was the Buddha's teachings
Instruction of the Buddhas? Just take a simple verse by Venerable Moggallana
said, even primary school guys could see that the purpose of Buddhism.
Consequently, false religion with public verses are engraved in my
heart.
13. Divine
NOT AGAINST INDUSTRIAL
BUILDING
Spirit of Moggallana, indeed, of all the disciples of the Buddha, no
one can compare. Anything, no matter how difficult, every false religion apply to
miracles, not what is not. However, the use of magic only viable save people
or help add media to celebrate Buddhism, but can not use it to do things
contrary to the principle of cause and effect law . God help win karma, can
not help to get rid of sorrow, life and death; it's
true.
One day, home to Ca-spleen-la-protection of the Buddha King Liu Li
(Virudhaka - Vidudabha) of the overseas-slap-la guide the invaders. Heard the news, at first
the Buddha is also thought to protect the country. He sat on the king's
road march Liu Li core to obstruct the progress of troops. So three times, just to
see the Buddha, the King retreated, but the mind as well as the invasion will
want to pay a bond former enemies of the king, not an end. Buddha reflect and know
that the binding karmic cause and effect between the two tribes long time to
finish, otherwise it can not be eliminated. Therefore, though very
loving home, though three-time dedication impede invading army, but in the end
he also had to let the King Save Li attacking the
Ca-Ti-la-defense.
But Moggallana refused. When the news of Ca-spleen-la-defense was the
king's army Liu Li besieged, religious fake Buddhist
transparency:
- Buddha! Ca-Ti-la-defense is under attack, I thought I would work to help the
people in the city.
Buddha Moggallana view, tone,
said:
- Hey Mr. Moggallana! The Shakya clan was time to take the effect of the
poor has caused generations ago. That plus their now way feel so, he can not take
them. They
did not repent of sin, did not modify the old mistakes and prevent new bad now,
but still a level of arrogance and swaggering. Of course, the house was
termite opaque crushed, collapsed!
Listen to the teachings of the Buddha, Moggallana know it's true, but
false religious thought can use his psychic powers to save the people in the
city.
King Liu Li used hundreds of thousands of troops to the enclosure, a
drop of water is also difficult to get through, let alone more people; should
Moggallana to mystically fly into the
Ca-spleen-la-defense.
By then, Venerable Then pick five hundred elite character of the Shakya
clan, put them in a bowl, cover and fly out. Go to a safe place,
Venerable open bowls, thought to have been rescued five hundred people, but when
you look at the bowl, alas! The venerable economic crisis seven colors, all
five hundred people in the bowls are turned into blood! At that time the new
false religion suddenly awakening, the Buddha's teachings were right, even
miracles to matter how generous, can not overcome the karma same causal law
rules.
14. The week
Moggallana often used miracles to Buddha assistance in spreading the
Dharma, merit is great. However, long Buddha mass often note that magic is
not the ultimate method. The truth is clear, as the Venerable Moggallana,
who is the god of such generosity, and have used magic as a means of effective
practice so that, in the end, the magic did not help Venerable win his own
karma. Buddha wanted to use the facts of this case to educated
people.
But the increasing age every but the announcement spirit of Venerable
Moggallana are increasingly prolific, feet like water clouds, never break.
He came to
know that, because of his zeal to spread Buddhism was that false religion has
been highly many pagan religious hostility, envy. The pagan priests did so
many times to kill the Buddha, but not how, went targeting
Moggallana.
One day on the way to propagate culture, when passing by a mountain,
the humble author was a pagan religious sect Accomplice ambush. They pushed down from
the mountain rock. Rock roll down like rain on the false religion, until the body of the
religion, such as broken, collapsed. He came to die under their hands, so that for
three days in a row, they still do not dare to go near there, since there is
still fear than religious forces.
Moggallana because of the spread of Bodhi seed that foreign direct
harm, because posterity which raises the mirror to sacrifice for his faith, the
body of the false religion indeed has become a timeless statement to leave the
world! Blood of religious author has not shed in vain, that the light from the
light of the Buddha, how much money made in philosophy, as well as the
preaching, had said false religion that traces each dedicate themselves network,
giving all to the eternal truth remains light in the world. Oh noble
instead!
News Venerable Moggallana were pagan murder soon be transmitted to the
palace, the king Ajatasatru strong shocks. Supreme king was angry,
and he ordered that the search for the killer of speed and devastating
consequences happened - the fierce anger of the king, there were several
thousand monks must Accomplice arrested thrown into the pit
fire!
In Sangha, all of them no one is mourning grief. Everyone sure is that
life is much too unfair, a great miracle as Moggallana inevitable that raid of
the heathen! Their hearts are themselves restless without clearance. They came together to
worship comments to Teach Buddha:
- Buddha! Our brother Moggallana the great disciples of the Buddha. When Bhagavan natural
supply says her command methods for Maya (Mahamaya), our brother has responded
to our request that heavenly security problem is Exalted; brother we also have
to select the -Hell to save her from suffering. Our brother is glorious,
divine generosity is so, why did not mystically against the heathen, nor even
their escape assassination?
Because mastered all that happened, the Buddha was not too agitated as
the spleen parade, he told the public:
- You see! Venerable Moggallana the magic of a disciple of the Tathagata, not
great faith can not resist you pagan priest, but as before, when he and Liu Li
led the invaders Ca-spleen-la-defense, great faith was mystically idea could
save the people in the city, but was awakened that miracles can not resist pay
karma, flesh only impermanent, and karma must be at the end. In a past life, the Lord
has been employed to catch fish to feed themselves, do not know how many lives
died unfairly by the hands of great faith! But your teacher!
You teacher
should not grieve, Venerable Moggallana's death, but the truth will never be
destroyed.
A large number of you leaning parade without ballast is
tragic:
- But our brothers victims bitterly too, white Exalted! We can not
secure!
- You see! You teacher should know, for the enlightened, the life and death is not
a problem at all. There is birth, then death, so death does not make us terrible fear.
It is
essential that we can learn from death. For great faith Moggallana, in the dying minutes,
not lethargic spirit that has peace and nirvana, which is very precious; spirit
of sacrifice himself for the cause propagate the Dharma of the great ethics is
indeed very beautiful!
Whatever He tells us that, in the mass there are still some leaning
monk shook his head lament, not compassion, is
confided:
- Buddha! We also know the spirit of supreme sacrifice for his faith is but the
sacrifice of our brothers at the moment it is too early. Preaching career was
long and so much work to do, we are in need of the leadership of the brothers.
Also,
Buddha, about this accident, how Bhagavan was not sure before our brothers know
that precaution?
Your words confided spleen parade has offered to the Buddha, have seen
their loved tribute to Venerable Moggallana. They were intense
emotion to the tragic accident of false religion. The Buddha has great
compassion, so to comfort them:
- You see! When Venerable Moggallana the week, not great faith did not know in
advance as a precaution. The faith has great psychic, can protect
themselves, but that is not the ultimate measure. Religious people can not
resist the rule of cause and effect law; effect of the fishing industry as a
livelihood in the life of great faith now, it was time to finish. Moreover, from the
beginning, great faith has vowed to take his life devoted to the service of
truth, the Lord has been fulfilled and happy nirvana, all disciples of the
Tathagata also should have the spirit of the week as Moggallana, the new
Buddhism is promoted widely in the world. You master! You learn to take the teacher's noble spirit of
great faith Moggallana!
Testimony of the Buddha made the whole mass was deeply touched.
The
martyrdom of a Moggallana giving rise to a multitude of other Moggallana.
All of them
are for the survival of the Chief Justice vows to learn the spirit of the noble
martyrs of the Venerable Moggallana. END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.MHDT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUNS=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
