"What the scammers (Formerly Kuhaka)

Listen to the words of the speaker ... 

This story, as in the Member States, the Master was talking about a crook. The details of the story will be told in Uddala precursor (No. 487). 

In ancient times, when the reigning king Barhmadatta in Ba-la-post, near a small village, there is a scam ascetic, of pagan hair braided. A landowner makes him a hut in the forest leaves to feed in and raise him in the hut with delicious food. The private landowners pagan scam that is braided hair whose morality. Fearing thieves, one day, the landowner's play is brought to the Gentiles was five hundred gold coins, buried and asked him to consider looking Dum. The ascetic said: 

- Dear Sage, for those who ordained and should not say so. We do not have greed for other people's heritage. 

- You instead, he came. 

The landowner, who believe that words and leave. Ascetic wicked thoughts: "So much money enough to live a full life." After a few days, who's taken the money, buried at a roadside place, and then returned to live in leaf huts. The next day, the person who was going to fill all after dinner and said: 

- Dear Sage, thanks to him, I've lived here a long time. Living in one place for too long as well as people living with the human touch. Living together is a hit for those defilements ordained. So I will leave. 

Say that finish, oil is required multiple times, who does not want to go back. The landowner said: 

- The work is thus Venerable sir, venerable let go. 

The landowners who practices the door he returned to the village. The ascetic, for a moment, then thought: "I should deceive the landowners." Think so, who was holding a blade of grass between the bun and go back. The landowner asked: 

- Why he came back on? 

- Dear Sage, a blade of grass from the roof of the Sage had caught in my hair braided. Home people are not taking no for things. So I gave up grass back to her. 

The landowner said: 

- The venerable grass and then throw away. 

 

And to think: "This person does not take other people's patrimony even a blade of grass. Oh, this venerable subtle for me." The landowners being purified believers, who bowed to him, and then farewell. 

At that time, for the purpose of trafficking, border Bodhisattva go to the field, and at her abode. Listening to the ascetic said. Bodhisattva thought, "Surely this wicked ascetic get money What's this landowner." Bodhisattva asked landowners: 

 

- Hey you, you can communicate something to the keeping of asceticism? 

- Sir, I have assigned for him to keep five hundred gold coins. 

- Then look for the money. 

The landowner went to play is, and could not find the money, and he returned very quickly tell Bodhisattva is no longer money. 

 Bodhisattva said: 

- No one else can take your gold braided outer hair ascetic name scams. Let's get it chases. 

They ran after him, caught the rogue ascetic, hit him and tell him to bring the gold to pay. Seeing the amount of gold has been returned, the Bodhisattva told contemptuous name of asceticism: 

- You're not sticking a blade of grass, but stick to the five hundred gold coins! 

Then the Bodhisattva read this verse: 

 

Listen to the words you say, 

Gentle soothing words, 

Do not stick to the blade of grass, 

Which five hundred gold stick. 

 

Then the Bodhisattva said: 

- Hey guys cheating other braided hair, do not do that anymore. 

Advise teachers, and reproves him finish, making the living Bodhisattva merit until grids, the Bodhisattva followed his career. 

After telling this Dharma, the Master said: 

- Hey Monks, this is not only monks but this new fraud in the past and also scams. 

Then masters precursor identify: 

- Then, ascetic monks phishing scam is this, and the sage is me ". 

4. Brief analysis: 

In the "Our Story scammers" we see on the part of landowners, ie the fraud, is credulity, and towards those who practice deceit, of pagan hair braided, is deception, lie. 

Money is the spark of craving. Five hundred people filled all gold coins buried sending a clue for the job. Therefore, it is not necessary to draw people to believe, and not create situations to occur in the acquisition of assets. 

If you do not have 500 gold coins blinded, seething lust, they who practice deceit to get what became the crime? 

In business, those who practice fraud after taking amount of gold, it was bombastic, exaggerated the practice: "Living in a place too long is like living with a human touch. Living together is a hit for those defilements ordained. Therefore, I will leave. " Go here after fleeing the money he stole gold. 

That was a trick to distract the attention of landowners all the money, which of course have to do a criminal. In the position of the export from the main reason he took monastic practice. 

The pay back on the grass with braided hair is the same as the serial nature. Factors exaggeration, magnification is clearly refund even a blade of grass. This action reminds us swear to type "The prayers of all of the loess" in the Tale of Kieu. 

With a wise, it is unusual that such a question would be. Germany Bodhisattva, the Buddha precursor albeit dealer, located right question: "Hey you, you can communicate something to the keeping of asceticism?". 

The story is a natural development. Melodramatic exaggeration surely go for the dishonest, shady: "They run chases are scams ascetic name, type it and said it brought back gold coins". 

Artistic value of prayer is the contrast between "Do not stick a blade of grass, but stick to the five hundred gold coins." Last profound experience that shows the falsehood of the word "mellow": "Listen to the words you say 

 

Gentle soothing words 

Do not stick to the blade of grass 

Which five hundred gold stick " 

So clever to say, but it has taken only scams.
