Dreamy dream is to heal
Imposing white statue of a saint pregnant
According Buddhavamsa (Buddha history), Wisdom Bodhisattva must cultivate virtues to practice up period of about 20 A and 100 thousand eons. Money is the life of Shakyamuni Buddha Vessantara him practice alms-la-density three upper levels (Danaparamatthaparami) achievements fullness. Then the end of life, he is reborn in heaven Tusita called Santusita. In those days the boys, where the Gods gathered here to listen to the sermon Setaketu Bodhisattva. Often spoke about generosity, morality, meditation, guilty of senses, enhanced well-ordained, three generals of the universe ... His ethereal voice like Brahma, medical uniforms, bright aura . After the lecture, Devas so happy, feeling accepted his teachings and special reports back to his palace.
Particularly Bodhisattva always thoughtfully about the aspirations of his life. So he is always willing to come in from the ordinary to the director. Practices of Bodhisattvas do well despite practicing well before the Buddha to live in heaven is waiting for the right time to inflict mortal. Setasetu bodhisattvas living in the Tushita heaven for a long period of time is going to end life. At that time, it was Sakka and the other Devas had also invited him to come later human beings salvation. His reflection in it:
Period (Kala) : Life time being not more than 1000 years old but not least 100 years old. The reason is, if they live long man stabbed a long, long, regardless of crime blessed as untimely was just worried of the human pursuit of fame, material satisfaction, not enough time reciting. He therefore appeared in this period.
National level (Desa): He chose Central India, there are not too rich nor too poor, the injustice and the harsh government always present in our lives. Moreover, there is much disagreement about class, poverty, sickness is always a threat to humans, thanks to the easy direction of good men.
Pedigree (Kula) : He chose the royal Sakya. Because of the custom of the Buddhas 30, all of the Enlightenment is not the end of life reborn in lowly lineage, because if it is going to be reborn into a disadvantage for his preaching. And as mortal strike in noble descent, the preaching will facilitate the preaching.
Chau (Padipa) : Humans live and exist in the galaxy four continents: Europe East frank (Pubbavideha), West African cultural Bulls (Aparagoyana), Former North Africa (Uttarakuru) and the South African Thiem (Jambudipa). He chose South Africa because the continent Thiem this uncivilized man haughty nor too dull outdated. Thus the Buddha met, they easily perceive doctrines, religious enlightenment quickly.
Parents (Matara) : Buddha is the teacher of three people so he must choose the coast, the great prayer with Him in countless lifetimes. King Suddhodana and mandatory post Mahamayadevi, the two men had been in his parents' lives so much He chose these two as dear. After observing the appropriate year on, he agreed to come down to earth after being the sentient beings to enlightenment. It was full moon day of June, in 624 BC.

Other side not far apart
Decision finding an end to the suffering creatures
Another day another glorious, royal prince out to see the world outside and directly exposed to the harsh reality of life. In the narrow range of the palace, he saw only the beautiful, but the crowd knew mankind surface dark, hideous life. The eyes of the Prince observers noticed a tired old pillow S. legs, a painful illness, a corpse and an ascetic foul solemnly respected. Three of old age, sickness and death, eloquently confirm the Prince of life of human suffering. Pictures of the house slowly sauntered clear to his priests that reveal the path of liberation, the way true peace and happiness. four scene was unexpected as the prince urged disgust and secular early escape.
Get it clear that the material pleasures that most are not scrambling to find benefit, only the ordained waiver benefit all contacts smell of earth are the true dignity , certain Prince Siddhattha left the palace to the temple to find the truth, which no longer have to re-birth, old pain, disease, death like that.
Amid news that they have brought to that Princess Yasodhara, his wife, has given birth to a son,. For the world, it is a good news. But, quite contrary to all expectations, he is not overjoyed because it's seen more obstacles. So often, when their first child was born, parents feel heard inside budding love for the first time a profound sight, a new love charming, extremely clean. The joy of fatherhood is not the first star to be described. But Prince Siddhattha is not usually a father, he lamented, "More of an obstacle, the more a bondage rope." Therefore, King Suddhodana grandson named Rahula.
He commanded Channa, the charioteer favorite, KANTHAKA win saddles and straight to the power of God. He cracked the door softly at his wife and children are asleep with a loving heart but impassive, unmoving, not affection. Love for his wife and daughter in-depth sight. But for the misfortune of suffering humanity, his compassion very shy to even more intensive. Gone, he does not fear for the future of the princess and the prince, knowing that my wife and I definitely would have full facilities and ensure safety and to live happily. Come out, not because of her poor love, love you, but because of his mercy extended to everyone, covering all human and living beings.
Prince Siddhattha went out during the night, leaving behind all palaces, beloved father, beautiful wife, kids, and even a future brilliance. He escaped out of the rushed and urged the horse straight in the night. Same goes with him only Channa. No money, no house, nomad, once he began to step on the path of truth. So he renounced the world.
This is not a renunciation of an old man spent most of his life, or of poverty impoverished nothing left to leave behind, but the rejection of a glorious prince among the youth in prosperous scene, affluence and prosperity. An escapist unprecedented in history. Then Prince Siddhattha was 29 years old, in the year 234 BC.
This middle way eight sectors
This is sole of the foot of legendary quartet
After enlightenment, gods Brahma also invited Venerable Sahampati compassion of his sermon. His observations of the world and accept the sermon. At first he thought would preach to anyone who is thinking of a hermit and ascetic Alarakalama Uddakaramaputta, two teachers are directed to him as a bodhisattva, but the Gods were told that two men died. Then he thought of his five fellow Kondanna lived with him and now they are at Sarnath near Isipatana Baranasi.
From Bodhgaya to Sarnath so far, by about 18 weeks, in the past Buddhas French first transfer wheel usually by divine. But Shakyamuni Buddha observed wanderer Upaka have affinity with him, if he went with the divine wanderer would not have the opportunity to meet him, despite the unfortunate encounter with the Buddha is a short but sufficient conditions for Upaka later enlightenment. So he decided to walk. Roads remote, rugged path, as well as all the love and enlightened beings. No film on the hard toil such a long way and finally he came to the Deer Park on the day of the full moon in June, in 228 BC.
This is the fundamental teachings of Buddhist philosophy, is the first sermon preached by the Buddha after his enlightenment, also known as Business Zhuan Falun - Dhammacakkappavattanasutta.
Content first sermon, including four issues:
1. Noble: presenting all the suffering on earth
2. Aprons: specify the cause of suffering is craving sex
3. Empire Kill: a state of tranquility, stillness, Nip-table
4. Noble Truth: the middle path with eight branches.
In short, his only living beings that pain and suffering in life cause of suffering. At the same time he introduced after suffering will end with happiness, peace, freedom and comfort and then he just shows the way to go to achieve eternal happiness.
Business recorded before he began to preach the Four Noble Truths, he preached two things that need to stay away from him, it is austere and avaricious. Ascetic mortification avaricious excesses and extravagance and life does not lead to liberation. Which two roads away from this is that middle path - Majjhimapatipada. The result is in the lecture after Kondanna open label method, enlightened direction momentum resulting from Huon, becoming the first 5 Saints Increase in Buddhism
4 / Buddha is but the photography market for foreign direct
Whether psychic magic
Flaunt possessed, as a monk
In the tradition of the 30 Buddhas spiritual powers to photography for a pagan custom that thirty. Forums is the custom of the Buddha to have to enforce such right. The practice of law means the rules, regulations, available to the charter for the Buddhas of the past, present and future law enforcement the right post. So the Buddha story in photography for pagan miracles is a normal thing because this is a job only inherited the tradition of the Buddhas.
From down under the Bodhi tree and he preached the sermon, there are many who find affinity with him. French spoke perfect beginning, middle and end, sentient beings have certain conditions enlightenment in this very life. Therefore many of His disciples ordained enlightenment though they have had years of practice in six continents leader of the sect known everywhere in the land of India that time. The leaders saw that his disciples little every day, most of them have departed following his ordination Sa dare subjects. Do not speak, but looked as disciples leaving to go back even more indignant. So the Buddha image and his disciples as a group hatred for the infidel clerk. All his activities were monitored to find their weaknesses distort, humiliate, discredit ... but all of them as clouds breeze.
The reason mystically delivery pagan victory because he came Pindolabharadvaja Mahamoggallana obey him go deep bowl bid on the vanity of the bourgeois.
There is a bourgeois he found a quiet block, to carve into a bowl and reward him if he would bowl anyone get rewarded and families rely on as a pupil. Group pagan clerk heard it for the broker to ask, but he refused. They told him not perhaps as bourgeois a bowl that have spiritual powers are not worthy. They look more intrigue to win the bowl depression but was not. He bourgeois thought in his country there are many religions they claim to be A-la-so reward him thus who get new results are A-la-drought. But seven days elapsed clerk pagan groups who do not implement the wishes of his bourgeois. So one fine morning mist, he and his Mahamoggallana Pindolabharadvaja into begging people to hear rumors about a bowl stir his quiet bourgeois, so Mahamoggallana sure venerable Pindolabharadvaja go bowl bid. He bourgeoisie and the people he came to see firsthand Pindolabharadvaja get bowl, clean and happy he offered the quarterfinals. From the story of the venerable bowl Pindolabharadvaja taken, people respected and favored disciple of the Buddha, so they invite each other to a large temple to find. Buddha knew or should he called Pindo the venerable and henceforth forbidden, Venerable monks and not divine himself to the public before.
When the Buddha law prohibits such institutions, groups or pagan clerk know and pedestrian propaganda that disciples of Gotama He let fame should last longer because the bowl is going to take our A-la-drought is not so should not take fame bowl at the request of the national bourgeoisie. He let the bowl and beating dare interdict laws, not to use psychic practitioners. So they decided to compete with his supernatural subjects Sa dare.
Ajatasattu or pagan King said such news, rushed to the audience, and said the problem clearly religious leaders that want to challenge the world powers against each respect. Exalted quiet for a moment, he said to the king that competed Tathagata agree with their psychic powers. King said:
- Buddha, he also banned the use of psychic powers, why?
- Great king, but Tathagata Tathagata prohibit students did not banned anywhere Tathagata!
So the Buddha clearly state the place and time for miracles competed with pagan groups Clerk. On the full moon of June is at Savatthi.
When the Buddha heard heathen agree with their psychic powers against each other, so they are scared and confused. Because they think he does not interdict disciples used his psychic powers are also not allowed to make use of, surprise, he now agrees with our football miracles, we calculated what? However, the published missed it! Clerk pagan group pulled together and they called Savatthi followers partner for money to build radio towers powers competed with Sa Gotama subjects, should they gain a huge amount. King said Pasenadi or clerk fanatic group of foreign teachers so worried about him and yet inside yet. The next day the King and asked Buddha to Buddha for the Great King built a radio tower similar to pagan religion competed with them. Buddha refused and told him the divine will under the mango tree.
Foreign direct talks between knowing and King Pasenadi Buddha, the disciple should they cut all the mango trees in Savatthi. Forums to date competed with pagan, Buddhist, but not to come into the city was a royal garden that people keep picking ripe rise to Buddhism. Buddha leader happy life and find a suitable spot to sit life mango, mango seeds also kept the garden, he told dug holes and planted his hand watering. Soon mango seeds to grow a lush mango trees and many flowers have delicious fruit. People attending the competitions of the Buddha and the pagan, they found many ripe mango picking up their food together. They eat mangoes that taste amazing, as good as they cursed infidels unnecessarily cut down the mango tree in Savatthi, infidels, they see where they used to throw mango seeds infidels. Order now compared to the resources, infidels spiritual crisis before the masses. Soon Buddha by way of a gem, and he went on the road do.Tiep meditation on, he transformed from a body into itself, then the masses that many Buddha, Buddha sitting, lying or two lectures together ... Finally, he appeared but the (yamakapatihariya), with capacity only supreme Buddha faith can accomplish.
This divine at the same time the two miracles: water jet from medium body, medium beam sputtering fire from relatives found glory green and red ... before the power of a Buddha such infidels fear and life withdrew leaving only panic as people are respectful toward worshiping Buddha. At the same time, he notes a legal right to the psychology of individual beings, so that day gods and mankind attained enlightenment enormous.
For a moment, contemplating the Buddha by liberating insight, he saw in the past Buddhas spiritual powers after winning the pagan heaven Tavatimsa Heaven dwells on the Buddhist teachings of organ samples Abhidhamma (Abhidhamma). That day on the day of the full moon of June.
5 / Nam Buddhist monks began transmission season retreat
Monks at Wat to lower initiation Dhammamangkol - Thailand
A day after the full moon ceremony June monks in Buddhist tradition started South TV season retreat. In the chapter "On the Rainy Season", Great Products, Vinaya, has written:
Buddha seated in the United-residence, Truc Lam. At that time, the rainy season retreat is not the Buddha prescribed for the monks. The monks traveled during the cold season, the hot season and the rainy season again. People complain, criticize, decry that:
- Why is the recluses who prefer to travel in the winter, in the hot season, and the rainy season again? Even the pagan wanderer, despite theoretical doctrines worse, still trying to live in a rainy place, even after the birds nesting in the treetops and a permanent resident in the rainy season. And the recluses who prefer to travel in the back cold season, hot season, and the rainy season again. The more he is trampled grasses green, are harming the species lives only one sense, and is causing the mass murder of little beings.
The monks who heard him complain, criticize, criticize. Therefore, the incident was brought to the Buddha. The Buddha said that the things that the monks:
- Hey Monks, I allow you to settle in the rainy season. This is the second time in Lent: the time before and the time after. The time before the day of the full moon next month Asalha, after that time the day after the full moon following month. As the Vietnam lunar leap month if there is time before the June 16, after the time is July 16th. taught him to:
- This, monks, during Lent should not be three months out to travel. The crimes that leave the evil effects (dukkata). However, if the matter is urgent and invited, monks were allowed to leave the abode for a period not exceeding seven days. He says:
- Hey Monks, I allow you to go when invited to work can be resolved in seven days, and should not, if they are not invited.
Lent begins on January Asalha fifteenth (full moon of June). However, the Buddha also allows any monks that began more than a month later, on July full moon - known as "post-retreat". The travel suspension ends on the full moon in September (Assina). If you do start slow than a month, it ended in October (Kattika). Monks celebrated penance Bodhisattva (uposatha) special called suicide rate (Pavarana), marking the end of Lent. Then, the monks announced completion of the department of Precepts, and leave the residence where police began traveling preachers.
Thus, we see that: if you forget the meaning of the fifteenth day of June that I had forgotten an important part in the history of the Buddha preaching.
He sent the womb born on the full moon day of June as a prelude to the end of his life, because after this life, he will not be reborn reincarnation again. The departure of the great giants abandon velvet brocade, thrones prelude to religious life homeless, ex world cup France. His first sermon was preached to the beginning of the preaching of birth, bring water to immortal beings connected with the Dhamma. Then after the song used for the pagan thong photography, he began Lent in his 7th Trayastrimsa heaven to preach to A-level talks Pi-form his body as a gift in return that hospitality gift . For the monks, the day after the full moon day of June is also starting a three-month rainy season retreat by law. Perhaps too much so began the meaning of full moon day of June, so let's start practicing together now. Do not hesitate to start going offline!
Wishing monks, nuns and Buddhists a more healthy Vassa, was filled with peace and happiness of the Buddha Dharma.
