Venerable Hoa Thuong Tu Na

                   

                                                                 

C feeding on Tibet's legendary French Deputy Coast, according to the record of the Buddha, kill the Buddha after about a hundred years, the Saints Tuesday's Buddhist abbot Na Hoa Thuong Tu's will. 

Saints Buddhist abbot took office after the first of the Buddha's venerable Kassapa the Great, the First Ascetic momentum. According to legend, the enlightenment of the Buddha and praised the "Supreme law won", "purity law", "Buddhist psychology". Fearing that the Buddha's degrees, which makes the network management life teachings that destroy them after his birth place of damnation forever from suffering, so while going to die, particularly Buddha graciously Entrusted to Mahakasyapa "I am now going to Bat Nirvana, bringing profound legal wonderful entrusted to him, because his next life that the glass upon our territory, handed wide recognition, not to be the absolute". In fact, not only the Buddha alone Entrusted Mahakasyapa only that everyone has the Buddha's disciples are made to such territory. Because all students, not just a second. So, no matter what products or finished, everyone is a disciple must have overall responsibility for the Buddhist abbot. If the Buddha told this to just say it's Mahakasyapa work alone Mahakasyapa, but the other disciple traditionally large, possibly due to not hear, do not ask, do not talk to them so they no liability for affordable living Buddhist? 

This assumption results have aspiration and compassion of the Buddha. Because contemporary Buddhists are frozen, unable to cope Buddhist blessing for each person. Moreover, the mass ordained Mahakasyapa Elder is a senior monk of us, faith is full of reverence for the Sangha order. So the Great Buddha Kassapa selected as delegates to the Sangha for his assigned mission, considered a very important event and the ultimate Buddha and also the handing over such a consummation. Then, Mahakasyapa deep compassion and understanding voluntary generosity of Buddha, even the Buddha's teachings to life that vow: "Protestant teachings instead! The chapel now serves over the law, which makes life a lot of benefits to the future, expect threshold Exalted should not worry. " This means Mahakasyapa representatives of mass for my heart, mixed with compassion of the Buddha, has confirmed the expression assumes no hesitation doubt, so calm Buddha passing away. 

After the Buddha entered Nirvana, Venerable Kassapa Great leaders aggregation Tibetan Sangha of the Buddha, save earth father, making the spread of the Buddha constant flow. Until increasing age, no longer able to undertake, new Mahakasyapa brings great responsibility given to Buddhist abbot Venerable Ananda leadership, itself successor to the mountains in India "for the grass court , and sat cross-legged "," take the office itself, waiting for him Maitreya ". After you enter Mahakasyapa successor to the mountain, he came to the mission Ananda Buddhist abbot spread of one heart, the place is "honored Dhamma traveling, teaching them life makes are the exit ". One day, he came into the Truc Lam (bamboo forest) to hear a new school monks recite verses of the Dhammapada: "As people live hundreds of years old, not that old Marine cranes, not by living a day that saw the flamingos it ". Knowing this is a huge mistake, who lived hundreds of years did not see cranes for dharma related to anything? Do not stand in poignant, immediately before he came to he just said, "Word of the proceedings is not fake verses of the Buddha, it is confused with the word cult. Dhammapada verse to recite the Buddha says: "If people lived hundreds of years old, did not understand the legal birth and death, not in life one day, but understand legal birth and death". Because the world does not know is the delusion of worldly birth and death, he arises is true love before the new creation and now suffer the agony of life and death, if they understand the delusion of birth and death associated measures to prevent the intersection is craving attachment, enter contractual legal veracity of birth and death can be freed agony of life and death, this is the true dharma, new chanting legal purposes ". 

But a few days later, the new school's monks to leave words of venerable legal shelves taught that words used verbatim proceedings ago, for the wrong done. He came back he asked the cause, he said recently of the monks said: "A man and old Nan, declining intellectual confusion so words can not believe it! He was like this before the recitation. " The new school monks listened to him and did not teach the use of the words of Venerable Ananda again. 

Now get to Ananda untold mercy. The venerable Buddha said that the world is not far from how long that situation happened like this. These classmates have died, respectively, then it is difficult to find a training contract in the past to justify the Dhammapada verse by saying he is right not wrong, this makes Ananda compassion , so much! He lamented that: "Sadly for the world! Very merciful! Now the monks, I personally say, again in the words wrong, do not listen to me, who knows the heart of this. " 

He recalled that at the Buddha, who has time to advantage Da Paint, Water Suddenly Ma La, Buddha said: "After we kill the monks would have Na Hoa Thuong Tu name from this mountain which rate increases do , instructive sermon, to benefit many people. " Venerable Ananda said that his office's fate was all sentient beings have an affinity with the chemistry he had done. Those of us who do not, in turn, Na Hoa Thuong Tu, as Buddha sign, will assume responsibility Buddhist abbot. A boat ride to the mainland Nan middle Ganges, the gods turned eighteen times, then fill to the Forerunner Ma and enter Nirvana. His relics are divided into two parts, partly due Asajatu king of Magadha, in part due to the king of Vaishali hold offerings to build the tower. 

Na Hoa Thuong Tu was the Venerable Ananda for ordained, he is a master of many great contributions to the legal work to spread the Buddha's passing after about a hundred years. 

The legend of his background is sublime. In a previous life, he was a jewel merchant, a knack for finding treasures in the deep sea. At one time, the business owners along five hundred companions, prepared to find treasure on the beach, ran into an export from the very sick can bring danger to the life, no one knew it was religious sages have attained Pratyekabuddhas (sight-reading practice practitioner, not born in the Buddha). The business owners feel the agony of the illness ordained monk, he starts from the center, inviting physician to treat and care scale drug wholeheartedly. These traders are not so little ancient, but to this day there is no fear that much. 

Also why skeptics that have attained a Bible and even serious illness like that? But they do not know who export from the mainly at the Centre for not suffering in the suffering of the body. Because the body is the same price of five warm, which is not a true hybrid, so no one away from the old paradigm of the disease. Only those who do not know my life is impermanent corrupt, so when a new disease to their unbearable suffering, mental anxiety afflictions arise limitless! They are scared because of all the things the body will be permanently lost, head pressing fire, really could not think of anything else to add. At that time the first can expect, look forward to the indestructible body. But the criticism is not directed properly first, but also for spiritual Buddha not anymore! Some evil pagan subjects taking advantage of this weakness of his, deceptive tricks to pay them by the arts of life, the secret vajra, having seen the devil god, do not eat no sleep, no fools do not know that position until the upper floors of many of the world society has religious cult center for the master who. They forget that from past to present, one that will not die to live forever? There is close to a size, how not to get sick. There must be medical doctors to offer treatment. If the life span is not lost, medications can also eliminate some bodily anguish. So Pratyekabuddhas level has attained the Bible to life as well as medication therapy people, but knowing the inevitable suffering body should still remain without attention disorders, there is no fear of suffering sorrow. This phenomenon has gained freedom of mind, body pain that does not mind suffering saints only witness is not legality, impermanence, selflessness to achieve the same. Therefore, the new release is the binding of the death, not life and death anymore, reaches the realm of body and mind happily passed away a cure. So also, so this treasure traders see the Pratyekabuddhas critically ill leisurely and still not have anything happen, almost like he could not do anything ill and death is do not you worry, this makes all the injured surprise and admire immensely! So he invited physicians to treat, and offered to him a new robes. The Pratyekabuddhas not change robe is torn Trade Na (y is made of a type of grass cover). Because after you've worn it out in person and also due on this robe, which he attained enlightenment. Moreover, his body now like rotten plank boat could not be repaired so he soon enter nirvana. Once heard, the business owner said he was new treasures Immaculate order in the world, the monks have attained the Bible, such as the fact that his little world there. Business owners in the hope that he had not wanted his Nirvana and went to sea he means to care medicine and worship offerings. 

The Pratyekabuddhas not agree to his revelations precious things: "It should be sown much blessed with the new planting to harvest, planting large fields of merit will be great results." Saying so, he launched manifested itself nowhere more magical transformation eighteen times. Then sit back old place that nirvana. Commercial use all that is wonderful miracles ever felt immediately realized that this release that vow: "Let me see life after the saint monk like him, that I have a lot of merit, majestic way to health serve no other. " Because of this charming, all the commercial life was reborn in wealthy families. Legend has it that at the instant he was born and Trade Na y, so that was named Hoa Thuong Tu Na. This is an event that inconceivable. 

Thanks to many fundamental religious life blessed, so is life Na Hoa Thuong Tu is a modern jewel merchant trade. He usually went to sea to find gems, favorite bottle of the good life, like alms and offerings to the Three Jewels. In Rajgir nobody that does not know the name of this talent, he is the introduction of higher praise is genuine good talented artist virtuous society. 

As busy people, busy yourself that things in hand but also forgotten, Na Hoa Thuong Tu probably so. Because he was busy with the trade, but to have faith but has not officially acquire Buddhist beliefs. 

Once, Na Hoa Tu Business Development Center volunteer, after preparing to return to the sea to find treasures congress will open throughout invaluable generosity, of course, also the Buddha and offerings. After some time went back to sea, he was very happy about the great prayer has before. Since this is a very unpleasant job, now he can accomplish. Forums and determination, he immediately made soon, he enlisted bamboo forest to invite Venerable Ananda. He wished his appeal on his behalf and the great Buddha monks as Mahakasyapa, University Moggallana, Sariputta etc. .. Congress leaders participate in the offerings life into his glass. Ananda immediately let you know that the Great Buddha and Kassapa etc. .. the following are the front and entered Nirvana. 

He too grief and regret for missed opportunities of the new millennium there! This experience, he no longer dared to doubt delay, hurry Venerable Ananda requested to attend the meeting and life management offerings. The venerable Being accepted, he immediately rushed back to Rajgir prepare items for the meeting. 

Na Hoa Thuong Tu thought: the world is impermanent, even Buddha who is enlightened saints and disciples are to live healthy, visionary know that the world is not greedy. Much more then, he is an ordinary trader, not necessarily have the money to buy longevity, is what forces make vajras protect themselves. This should be taken as a self-awakening, to see the look of this ancient society how many people can see this? Na Hoa Thuong Tu was originally in the market place, the place where the human being is that the expression of non-human character. The dealer's life after the Buddha's disciples, his own lack of a little something, Na Hoa Thuong Tu has been suggested for two thousand five hundred years ago, why is not the only direction for him to professor, to being equal, to do the same as Trade Na Hoa Tu advent of Buddhism in the end? 

Forums to start celebrating the invaluable opportunity. Hall is arranged at the Hoa Tu Na of Commerce, is particularly high floor connecting door into the room, extended surface for travel. The big golden letters "priceless Congress" was built across the front to greet, four sides smooth path to the hall, flying flags fluttering in the wind dancing in the air, sunshine yellow color scheme brightly, giving items and hand dancing together. Inside the hall, full color lay gifts piled like mountains sharp enough. The workers, who with his fellow traders uninvited to a large order of up to tens of thousands of people undertaking voluntary work for the ceremony. From everywhere, people unhappy, miserable poverty, suffering, lonely widow, aged failure, weak youth, disabilities, deaf and blind ... east endless look to Congress to receive alms. Both a sea of ​​undulating ebb, just head on back out, then head under the sink to rise. Those who distribute it is busy, they only regret that I only have two hands should not be overwhelming, to spend Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva of compassion for them from adding thousands of new distribution arm is up. Those who receive alms to everyone cheerfully smiling, everyone left with a large bag containing things such as clothing, food and furniture. Na Hoa Thuong Tu witnessed such a tidal wave coming to receive alms in joy unspeakable, it is true that "the fun fun galaxy", in this world there is something fun to compare with "the pleasure of giving" this. 

Venerable Ananda arrived, that this job is very commendable Na Hoa Thuong Tu "bourgeois Protestant instead! Or that the world is not an artifact should have merit, causing permanent career. The work of this charity in the world very few have! But in the end just did not merit an end, there must own property illegally loss (lose) ". Staff at the Trade Center was refreshingly Na Hoa Tu, Venerable Ananda then used the only means of protection guidelines: 

- "He made the huge financial little experiment! This should add one more experimental approach! Because applicants can only finance the urgent disarmament of suffering for a little while, can not make them reach the ultimate place to eradicate the suffering of birth and death, suffering a mortal networks require experimental methods can shatter it. " So he came to praise experimental approach that: "This wonderful French pilot if spread widely beyond financial contestants will more than hundred thousand thousand times." 

Na Hoa Thuong Tu hear, started a little skeptical: How candidates called legal? Legal merit candidates make big stars, as this conference handouts will not compare well with it? He found no one in this world is celebrating the generosity greater than congress is giving his big, so in his mind is not convinced. If indeed, as the Venerable said: "French trial against the Congress giving bigger and better", he also wished to celebrate again, because he said that he was very rich. 

However, experimental approach that is taught Venerable Ananda: "In the Buddhist monastic school director, teacher lecture for the benefit of sentient beings, that is called experimental approach. Because of possible new direction in education that destroy evil doing good, growing religious blessing wisdom. Once the contract realizations is the universal truth, understand the true form of the law, not to liberate oneself from the suffering of the human condition, but also can attain this by appealing to the teachers of all beings, cause they rely on that which is the freedom of communication and blessed eternal interests. This compared with experimental merit resources to ultimately have more bigger? As an experimental method by which benefits are great, turn into the infinite merits, take the measure of nowhere, opened the place can get hundreds of thousands of thousands of examples that are multiples U ". 

Na Hoa Thuong Tu capital base has cultivated the good life before, very happy to work merit, should hear Venerable Ananda told, and he delighted enlightenment, forcing his mouth saying: - "You instead! Well with my wishes. The infinite merit in that approach to new applicants can be gained by such vows, take this job than my generosity is indeed much bigger! It is ideal. "

So, after giving congress ended, Commercial Na inflorescence by Venerable Ananda and became a part of the new monks outstanding extraordinary. Under the tutelage of Venerable Ananda, First grade multicultural, "For by pouring a bottle," he scrutinizes all things out of the venerable school. Through the guiding wisdom of understanding, Na Hoa Thuong soon be of no word from them impermanent, selfless, Arahats the cessation of life and death. Venerable Ananda saw successor, Abbot took with responsibility for Trade Entrusted Dharma Tu Na Hoa secure then enter Nirvana. 

Na Hoa Thuong Tu obey the teacher to teach and transmit the legal width, the countless people. After killing the Buddha, the Buddhist leaders, more influential, more great dedication, apart Venerable Kassapa and Ananda not to mention the Na Hoa Thuong Tu. Na Hoa Thuong Tu was honored on the third row in the center of the leading figures in Buddhist abbot after the Buddha's passing. 

Pursuant to legend, Na Hoa Thuong Tu Hoang Hoa many disciples should want to build a temple on Mount Pros Da Ma combustion of water to make room for them to practice map. This is an ideal ashrams, suitable for a practitioner in the water early morning, pressing parts ultramarine blue, surroundings are beautiful pure, far from the urban markets, few people loitering, the more help add quiet. Previously Buddha and Ananda had traveled to this mountain. But now the mountain has two ferocious dragons hazardous occupation, an outsider who makes almost no one dares on the mountain. 

Na Hoa Thuong used his powers from the cave shook. Two dragons riding on clouds of smoke release creates a severe hurricane damage to Na Hoa Thuong Tu. Through a legal battle between humans and dragons, and he finally conquered the dragons are evil. Dragon is the species with great anger, difficult to subdue. Does this matter is to symbolize the leaders and people of the jungle where wild dragons have likened the situation is very difficult to teach! When he came to lead us to map the mountain to the temple construction practice, and he was in the hinder people do not accept, but with the same legal force sublime virtues of compassion, he came to have the wisdom to subdue the intensity of their opposition and sensitize them refuge in the Dharma. 

In the monastic disciples of Na Hoa Thuong Tu, a special ambassador extraordinary, called three stone advantage, at the Tan Hoang Hoa Plan, under court five hundred disciples, enough to show that An engineer's prosperity. We disciple church but with ambassadors, but still deeply disturbing, mind high drain huge ego, so that An engineer can hardly tamed, making many of the places of birth and death not be released . 

Three Advantages holy stone that his karmic merit difficult to map achievements benefit them, thought: "Only he can one be of the" so secretly longed Na Hoa Thuong Tu to this place to teach. Venerable Hoa Thuong Tu Na know this is then used their magical power from the air that fly to that place. While there is no advantage three stone in that place, five hundred disciples he came to see, but no one not notice it, they just looked up to heaven alone, enough to know the conceit of their higher peaks. He came straight to remain unruffled seat meditation room where three stone advantage. Five hundred this arrogant that sketchy venerable robes, hair, long curly fingernails sat at his teacher's place, they immediately yelled angrily, he came out chasing scare, no one knows polite respect grade glass Venerable Elder monks. Who's who when aggressive, that he came to sit quietly, some redneck heady enticing. But then they all gasped, as he came to sit still where the court seems to have deep roots in the big mountains, just could not shake the bit cell. Then they all dared to despise, to send people rushing to find. Three stone advantage in the meditation room immediately realized that venerable bowed respectfully. Everyone who saw it were amazed gawking, because they thought that his teacher is the most talented, but as venerable as the old man is ugly, so they did not mind feast arise. 

He came to know people still care stopped conceit, immediately enter "Long tons of chalk", pointing nowhere, nowhere on mainland dealt a line of scented milk as white cloth flowing down from the mountain. After the production, Chun author asked three stone Pros: "This is the first eighty what?". Pros Three stones can not understand is, the more disciples knew nothing, then they slightly reduce ego identity. The venerable third consecutive speaker of Dhamma Samadhi. Finally he came to say: 

- "General provisions of Ananda Samadhi, my teacher, I do not know, now eighty of these people we can not know. Eighty of the Tathagata as we can not know. This represents immeasurable Samadhi, very profound. Only people who do not know the place very high position deep at the Dharma school, so start the megalomania newborn conceit high drain ". 

At that time, five hundred disciples were arrogant bow my head. Each self-blame regret the error before her. For Na Hoa Thuong Tu, but not an outstanding figure, but not as the word fear, but is the supreme virtue. Then from there they get rid of ego mind, diligent effort, the following were elected arahantahood. 

Venerable Hoa Thuong Tu Na deserted mobile network Venerable Ananda, was devoted to Dhamma preacher responsibility, and obey the teachings of Venerable Ananda, the advantage of three stone ordained, assigned responsibility Pros Buddhist abbot to undertake three stone reception. Then, Na Hoa Thuong Tu feels "work done", the god associated processing routine one last time, then enter Nirvana. Remove his relics could be three stone advantage to hand the disciples commanded up tower offerings. This is the ambassador Tuesday after Buddhist abbot kill the Buddha. His name was handed down forever in history Dhamma preacher, were the thousands of Buddhist followers after his sincerity towards reverence praise.
