Venerable Kashyapa DAI (Mahakasyapa - Mahakassapa)
(The elders most exemplary ascetic)

WHERE'S THE GREAT 1.- TREE OF LIFE:

Supposing there are people born from 2500 and earlier that flesh remains very much alive to this day, he or she must be respected author Kashyapa University, the foremost disciple of the Buddha, was known as monk happy early momentum leading in childhood that sangha.

Not long ago, a French doctor, Mr. Ba way Sam had once traveled to Chicken Foot Mountain (Kukkutapadagiri, Additional News Page Son, a mountain look like chicken feet, lies Aging Skin - Gaya More than 25 kilometers northeast, southwest away from Rajgir but also of that, this is a top of the mountain Vulture Peak in Rajgir northeast. - Translator's Note ) in India. There he was fortunate to participate is respected authors Great Kashyapa and then asked for refuge in the religious life of the saint gia.Cuoc nature of this legendary, if they are brought up, the introduction was a true story beautiful. So we would assume religious art from the beginning when newly born.

Over 2500 years ago, on the outskirts of the city Rajgir (Rajagrha - Rajagaha) kingdom of Magadha (Magadha), from central India, there is a village called La Da Ma Ha Sa (Mahatittha). In this village there is a racial bourgeois Brahmin named Bill Ba Ni Da Block Q, supremely wealthy. Legend has it that his property is more than the country's king of Magadha contemporaries king Bimbisara (Bimbisara). Great Venerable Kashyapa was born in rich families that distance!

The introduction of false religion also accompanied by strange things, so to speak, almost like the descent of Buddha. Mother of false religion, labor, day, while walking in the yard, the friend suddenly felt tired, sat down on the bowl la All tree to rest. Suddenly, out of nowhere shirt weather to fly, the momentum of the tree landed, that she heard the baby is born ... So, at that moment the baby was named to the All set for La Bat Da Na (Pippalayana), which means the birth place of the tree.

Growing up, he University Kashyapa as pale, stout, and nearly all 32 signs that the Buddha, as the only child of a wealthy family league, so the way beloved pet parents to him how, suppose does not need to describe. Up to four nannies to care for him, in addition, some people in the next day to have served with you and play it a lot.

When you are eight years old, according to the rules Brahmin boy Kashyapa University Honor parents home tutor teaching. The sequential courses include how health from self, reading, writing, drawing, math, literature, army intelligence, experience four Vedas , through music, dance, the operation of the stars, yin and yang good bad, thunder, earthquake etc. .. because of inherent natural intelligence, so there are no specific courses are not thoroughly understand him thoroughly.

There is something very, very strange, since childhood until grown, University Kashyapa has proved to be similar to many other children or youth: he was boring the worldly pleasures, sexual contempt, hate What impurities, usually just want to be alone, even though they are far from their parents, he did not miss to.

2.- COUPLES NO COMMON BED:

On May fleeting, University Kashyapa who are now adults, become a handsome guy handsome. Parents are extremely happy, he tells her he knew that he would marry her to him a beautiful wife, respectable, modest. Jacob when they heard that he had panicked, hasty denial:

- Dear parents! Hundred of thousands of lanes can not be! My only hope is for parents only allow their children to practice. If you have children, the wife of the practice will be hampered.

Of course, most grandparents would not give his decision in this case. He was thinking more, and finally found a way to refuse to marry. He immediately thanks to a well-known sculptor, using gold to cast a beautiful female plastic statues, and then bring the statue was said to the parents:

- Dear parents! If certain parents want me to marry a parent, please look for the girl exactly like this statue is the new female aesthetic subject; otherwise I definitely did not get married for life.

Listen to his request, grandparents are extremely difficult to treat. There were a teacher Brahmin very close, or still back and forth everyday grandparents' house, she promised to help him figure out how to cnug beautiful girl just like the statue's hat with the other gold. He went turn him into a statue of a goddess, to up the procession, with parasols sanctuary and carried away from the village to the other, The other end of the city to another city, a place that has winter people gathered to watch, he said: "The young lady desire something then offered prayers to the goddess, she will be given the satisfaction." Starting from business Rajgir, he brought the Statue of cruising. crossed the Ganges in the north, down to the city Flawless Xa Li.

Flawless Xa outskirts of a village called Li Ca La Flawless Ca. In the village there is a bourgeois Brahmin class of wealthy businessmen trench called La Ca Flawless (Kapila). He has a daughter named Dieu Hien (Bhadda), it is flavored water color sky, a famous female aesthetic, no one around the area is not speak.

Today weather was right to "fire" is an opportunity for young men and women playful delight. Hein on this occasion, had come to invite your friends to worship the goddess. As he stood before the golden statue, Beauty "flower moon made ashamed" of Hein did make the statue suddenly mutate. Teacher Brahmin glad to see that it immediately to visit her family, and bring the story of "a wife" of Art University Kashyapa clear the tail with her father. Flawless La Ca bourgeois family know Great Kashyapa had fame, recently the ultra wealthy are very satisfied, and he agreed to do intermarried.

After the engagement, they picked a good day to take the bride to the groom's house.

On offer was the bride, dressed in brocade Hein, wearing pearls he lost. Appearance beautiful, charming her, afraid to even nymphs do not match!

But it is weird! Although there is beauty bride "tilt tilt into the water" like that, but gloomy curtain mi, as there is nothing heavy sorrow in my heart ...

Drums, the music emerges; lyrics with rhythmic dances; wedding celebration begins ...

After the Lord of heaven and earth, the Great Kashyapa and Hein entered as the ceremony room. Both husband and wife wedding night, no one had a smile. No one look at someone, everyone has a mind of its own, sad eyes far away; then each corner, quiet ... The night is still flowering in preventing any such wish elapsed; watch one, watch two, watch, fourth watch, then watch the year, dawn dawn, the newly married couple was still absolutely silent, no one said a word! Until quite bright sun, then the new groom spoke softly asked the bride?

- She said something bad refuge with reasonable?

Hein lightning rims slightly, but remained silent not answer.

- Is there anything you would any lady said. Anyway, we can still share together is that!

Hein instant tears, but remained silent. Great Kashyapa immediately louder, as frustrating as much:

- There's nothing quite as painful, tell me okay?

Great Kashyapa asked three times, thousands reluctantly, Hein time will tell, but with a plaintive voice:

- He ruined my aspiration! Education boring contingent capital I, just wanted to be at peace so pure virtues; but because my father was fascinated by the blade of his family's wealth that has brought me to sell for him marry, dashed the aspirations of my practice!

Great Kashyapa heard these things, as happened in the abdomen open, exhilarated, make haste to Hein said, I also have the same aspirations, and passions in life disgusted, and just wanted to be pure practice.

Oh, so excited after foreclosure! This is a great arrangement of public goods well! So both threads can perform their aspirations freely at. Then they agreed together, on two separate beds, though nominally still married, but is never shared a bed.

TWELVE YEARS 3.- CONSISTENT PRAYER POINTS:

Already married, but the two never share a bed; that the parents and also to his ear. So, one day, the bourgeois grandparents suddenly into his wife's bedroom look. Indeed, grandparents saw two people lying on two separate beds. He was very angry chief author, said:

- Two children you are married, have a husband and wife to each other but on two separate beds are what could be a good thing! I have known people who chop away the new one!

Great Kashyapa did not dare to oppose their parents, but determined to keep the aspirations of the two circles. He proposed to his wife:

- Anyway, they were not deterred her. Now only a bed, then we take turns using. Earlier today, I slept till midnight, while he is doing is operating or static; Last night he slept in while he or she is meditation or static.

Hein agrees suggestion of her husband, and said:

- Why we do not soon find the way out the price! Five worldly education is fearsome, where they also have phhuc tomorrow, we miss the dazzle and how rotten peanuts!

Great Kashyapa consoled her:

- He also had such thoughts, but strictly because the body is still in the road that he is the one, where he can leave her be! You just be patient, idealistic aspiration of how well we have done day.

On the months passed, his wife live in peace as such, but in place of bare pink heart always pure joy in your direction. One night, as usual, while sleeping on the bed when Hein University Kashyapa walking in the room. Suddenly he saw a black snake, virulent type, is located under the bed, while sleeping in the midst of so drunk right arm hangs down from Hein to bed, and only narrowly snake. In part ten critical moment that he immediately took his hands wrapped coat, then gently placed her hand holding onto the bed. Whether he moves very slightly, but also made her awake. Seeing him in that case, she was amazed, and he sat up, reproachful tone asked:

- What did you do? What has happened?

Great Kashyapa immediately saw only her snakes and quietly explained to her about his past jobs. Hearing that she be satisfied and proved immensely grateful to him.

The chastity of his wife passed so on, have been calculated for twelve years.

4. export from:

Yes, there are instant case, there is birth there is death, there is a certain moral world. That year, the father of two beloved Great Kashyapa all died one! Shortly thereafter, one day, some people said Hein servant pressed sesame oil. Raw sesame seeds have a lot of nerd, and while oil presses, Hein suddenly heard some people airy utter servility: "Press this killing so many animals, do not know then it would be subject to retribution How! But okay, here's where we'd have to be guilty, but just follow orders all alone. " Just to hear them say that they immediately found her mentally shaken, terror, quickly told them to stop the oil pressure, and immediately ran into the bedroom, closed the door, sat silent contemplation ...

Also that same day, from dawn University Kashyapa was considered a farmer plowing fields. While watching, he saw the misery of the ox plow, the hard toil of the farmer uncle; and also numerous insects in the soil, which plows come through, which stomped his feet, gave them the dead layer, layer wounded hellish scene! Seeing that he is even more depressed with the life of the world, he thought, just as life itself that is life difficult to avoid hurting others as well as for all species. Regardless of the class, whether they like to eat and do not eat more than a game; no matter how they want to bed bed not more than two fingertips. Yet it was too discharging slag waste, abundance of daily necessities; and I see things wasted useless luxuries that they do know how many people suffer and know how devastating creatures. Totally unfair! Absolutely absurd! So thinking, he went away home. Once in your own room, he saw his wife was also his face gloomy. The couple fell in his mind the saying to each other, and the same lament about the unfortunate, the suffering of the world. Great Kashyapa went to his wife:

- Now, he decided to dispose of this house to a monk. There is nothing more in labor prison, everything was tied up, all sorts of troubles! As long as we still cling to the heritage of this is that day we have bad karma. Chi by just dispose it off to seek the truth of life. We're in mountainous place to practice is no longer afraid of anything made obstacles, like going to the middle of nowhere. So let me go ahead, I'm waiting for temporary home. When you find one, he will return to take his royal brother. In the meantime, they bring all their properties that confer the same house servant in helping the poor. Wait okay! Certain he would soon bring good news to report them.

Hein hear more respect then husband, was also touched by her husband's attention to their aspirations. Chi vows of the couple's long-standing capital, but due to his parents that had to wait a long time to ten years. Now, that aspiration has actually started to implement, they feel strangely happy ...

5. BECOME A disciple of the Buddha:

That year, the University has over thirty Kashyapa age. According to legend, the day he left home in search of the master who is also the day Lord Shakyamuni attained enlightenment where bodhi tree.

He went east, go west, go south, go north to study religion but not satisfied with a teacher at all. Two years later, while he was traveling overseas ANGA (Anga), then comes to tell him that, Shakyamuni Buddha was enlightened beings present; He along with his congregation of disciples included virtuous as Sariputta, Moggallana, Kashyapa Speakers Pros Long Tan (Uruvila Kasyapa - Uruvela Kassapa) etc. .. thousands of people, was opened ashrams at the monastery Truc Lam (Venuvana). He then heard unspeakable joy, immediately return to Rajgir and looking to Truc Lam monastery.

Truc Lam Monastery is located in the suburbs north of the city of Rajgir, the first base ashrams are well organized, have provided tubers, and used as a residence for Buddhist practice and his congregation. Upon arrival Rajgir, University Kashyapa has not directly received by the Buddha, but just follow the daily credit men and women in a Buddhist monastery to hear the sermon. The reason is because he was trying to see if there is not a real guru, he refused to follow.

After several times of going to the fireworks theory thus imposing intellect and virtue of the Buddha was gradually awakened his mind. Then the other day, as usual, after listening to legal completion, he returned to the shelter in the city. When he was not far from the port where there are more towers, squeezed between towers was a life tree foliage scattered; and how strange he looked to see where the original Buddha is still and life was great. It is clear that when he left the monastery and He is still sitting on the other dharma, how did he get here now? He tried to carefully look again and again, the correct answer is the Buddha! Suddenly, he felt fear before the real look calm and silent majesty of the Buddha; and as being an attractive force that he fell down suddenly bowed his head, and devoutly pray that:

- Dear Lord Buddha, my masters! Please tell me to take refuge in Him. From this University Kashyapa this was his disciple.

Great Kashyapa sure we have begun a firm belief and full, open market Buddha:

- This Great Kashyapa! He was truly a disciple of the Tathagata; and Tathagata is also true of his guru. If the world can not be perfect enlightenment, no one can be his master. He let go Tathagata!

Buddha stood up slowly and deliberately toward the monastery. Great Kashyapa follow, heart filled with joy, just recently moved reverently, suddenly tears ...

're Going, suddenly turned back to look Great Buddha Kashyapa, then he said:

- Tathagata he had long heard about. Tathagata knows that, and this is how he would like to follow Tathagata practice, and today was the day that he was satisfied. The transmission of the Dharma in the future will be to him a lot. As living beings and also because he, his try!

Go to the Truc Lam Buddhist world for University of Kashyapa, and spoken teachings Four Truth Twelve of Interdependent etc. .. General good of the Buddhist faith and stately, gentle sounds of Buddhist and intimate, maybe say, the atmosphere was realizing that time completely surrounded Kashyapa University, making his term as rain fields; so just eight days later, he completely enlightened.

6. FINISHED WITH THE OLD promise:

After the Great Kashyapa was ordained a year - that is, the third year after the Buddha attained enlightenment - the Buddha homecoming is the capital city of La Ca Flawless to the royal visit his father. A large number of Buddhist monks accompanied on this trip, including respected authors Kashyapa University. On this occasion, many princes, principalities of the royal family have asked to be ordained under the Buddha. Later, the Buddha's aunt pattern queen Kieu Dam Di, (Gautami - Gotami - that Ma Ha Pajapati, Mahaprajapati - Mahapajapati) are also Buddhist monastic and allow them Flawless nuns founded. As for the Great Kashyapa, false religion will always remember the promise to Hein old days, but because of previous no ordained female literacy, authors should respect not know how. Now multiply them Ti nuns were allowed to establish, respect authors completed immediately decided that promise.

From respected author left home to go to now also have five years. Within five years, did not know the situation at home Hein is. Authors went on to enter religious observation, the new Hein is now a disciple of the heathen, in the Ganges river.

Originally hybrid, from runaway University Kashyapa traveled seek the master, Hein was home alone looked forward to the news of her husband. The dates have passed through as the water flows, a month, then two months, one year and two years ... still no news of her husband at all. Too impatient, can not wait any longer, she went herself decided to renounce the world. Having so determined, she brings all assets stored in a distributed repository for everyone, from those in kinship, the servants, until the poor in the village, alone and looking to banks of the Ganges, an ascetic worship of nakedness Pictures please make disciples.

After making disciples nakedness Pictures, by non-human because of her beauty, but in many cases she had been insulted, and really looking forward to married to the rescue. That was when false religion samadhi University Kashyapa observation is aware of her situation and is eager to bring the Dharma taught to put her on the right path. He came and brought the situation clear to the monks and nuns and a thanks to this position to rescue Hein. Very happy nuns accepted to go, and soon, Hein nuns brought along the nunnery. Here Hein permitted ordained monks and nuns to enter them.

But here, also because of the beauty of its charter overly privileged, but whether this was the monks and nuns is a serious study of Buddhism Hein has become the subject of conversation float it up vu This and that. Such was disparaged moss, nuns are ashamed, depressed often lamented his misfortune to born as a female body! From that nuns are not begging anymore, far from public life, and never appear in crowded places.

Situation to make false religion Kashyapa very poignant University. Sun went simply ask Buddha to allow, each day is divided by half nun alms of rice they are. This incident and also to the ears of the nuns Du Lan Nan Da, a famous person or a non-speaking market in them monks and nuns. Not known for hate or for anything else, these nuns were rumored to be very much not a good thing, as saying: "The person just to show off is at home in twelve years had not slept in the same bed, but time each day they are divided Rice shared an intimate clothes like that, is certain to have an affair how that goes! " For the soul of a holy person reach such definitive religion is false Kashyapa University into disrepute does not mean anything, but because I want to help Dieu Hien discovered so brave heart to strive to become human, almost immediately results on Path, then ignore false religion, no longer interested Hein . Indeed, the other non-market hours has become a strong stimulant, helping start-up Hein strong will. Self nuns came determined to practice very seriously, could not sleep all night, play giant penance, YM and controlling it finally reached enlightenment. Then the nun said to myself: "The rope bondage has severed all right, pure well done, what we need to do is now done!" After attaining enlightenment, the Buddhist nun was praise: "In our monks and nuns, Hein was smooth in most network-sufficiency" .

Venerable Shariputra 7.- CONSULTATION:

At one point, two respected author and University Kashyapa Shariputra and practice in the United Soap Mountain Grottoes (Grdhrakuta - Gijihakuta) on the outskirts of the city Rajgir. Then there are the pagans seek and offer many conundrums fake religious requirements Shariputra replied. The most important question is: After death, the Tathagata is still mortal, right? - Whether or not there is life and death? Or has there just are no longer mortal life and death? - Or is there just is not life and death, not just death no longer living?

The answers of religious pseudo Shariputra four problems were not satisfied pagans. Then they make fun of mockery: "He has no satisfactory answers to these questions, it's why we dare to claim to be the venerable Buddhist Sangha! Then there was the most intellectual, too! It's not unlike a kid! " They finished and left smiling. Wait for them out of sight then, honor author Sariputta went to the nearby cave, where religion is false Great Kashyapa retreat, so please consult. First, Sariputta brings problems of pagan art for Great Kashyapa heard, then asked:

- Brother! Why the Buddha was never explained to us the same problem?

Great Kashyapa replied:

- The Buddha has great end to any delusion of the mind no longer disturbing, permanent liberation. The realization of the fact that deep, vast, but the other problem is the only expression of deluded, dispute, so what can be considered a legitimate question to be! Furthermore, for such problems, where the language can be used to explain; therefore, it is best not to ever pose such problems. Buddha never explained to us what the problem is so.

Venerable Shariputra listening to me, are extremely delighted, went from respected author thanks University Kashyapa and return to the old place.

8: BORN TO BE POOR old woman in the heavens:

Once, when the Buddha's teachings in Sravasti announced it on their missionary activities in Rajgir areas have due respect Kashyapa presided over fake University. Whenever alms, religious authors find only the poor but never to the wealthy, as fake religious notion that what wealth is pitiful, but the poor, each day, is the suffering of morosely livelihood disturbing, should be more pitiful. Rank the poor, for the poor who never enjoyed the earthly pleasure, though to hear the Dharma, but do not have access to most alms enjoy the happiness of giving. Therefore, just as water flows, compassion always respected author poured into class the other poor pitiful.

In the Rajgir has an extremely poor old woman, had no relatives that did not have a hut to stay. During the day they wandered from east to Market Street west corner of the alley the night to see how they slept there. Her clothes were just a bunch of bamboo leaves staring back, not enough to cover the body. Did so, one day to be a serious illness, she must flee a dying place. At that time, a slave of a wealthy rice water it provides to lie down next to her seat. She immediately took the bowl of rice for water tank was inspired to help hungry taking.

Knowing that the old lady was in such a condition, Great Kashyapa immediately come to visit her. Since there are sick, never had anyone come and visit her. Have now heard the noise, she sat up and looked, there is a begging monks, "the monks Perhaps this is even poorer than themselves?" Thought so she said:

- Ma'am! On this earth, the most significant honor, the most merciful, the Buddha, and then wash the leap is thanks to his edification. Today I come here begging to save her miserable poverty. I also thought of bringing material wealth to help her, but by doing so, only help midwives suffering in a moment and the increasing impoverishment again, no use spending by, she now there is little anyone anything, please give alms to me, thanks to the virtues that she will inherit the riches of happiness in the next life, or even more so, she will be born to the heavens, enjoy blessings for long life.

The old woman listened attentively and feel of words containing a false religion counsel full of love, so feel very emotional, but she found her forever, but where there is nothing to see offerings ! She was very unhappy, weeping and saying:

- Glass transparency noble monk! Precious teachings of great faith I etched in the minds and hearts, but faith sir, as you can see, I'm a poor outcast, a little bit of his party was not available, nor clothes there is a slim healed, but he wants to make offerings not know what to do!

- Ma'am! Who got the news no longer want handouts to the poor; he whose mind is shame that is has even been forensics. That's two rare treasures on earth, but now she has to get her certainly is not poor outcast anymore! You know? In this world, the rich, not in gold, silver jewels hey, that does not know what is giving, the ashamed, then they are the poor outcast.

Again she felt joy rise full of bliss. She suddenly forgot filthy squalor of his present, took place immediately inspired rice water has been rising religious offerings author Kashyapa University. Venerable reverently received and put to his mouth to drink all right. Sincere gesture of respect that made her assume the extreme joy.

Then before long, old Mrs. died, been reborn Trayastrimsa heavens, and became a charter lovely nymphs. One day, people remember their past lives, to meet authors reward virtue of religion Great Kashyapa, nymphs was struck down, tossing flowers scattered across the sky for offering false religion.

9. AN EVENT ARE DISSATISFIED:

Once, respected Buddhist author obedience to par considering the situation of increasing our activities in the Mineral Field. False religion that morning robe allows adjustment, arms bowl, imposing serious, go to the alms. Venerable passed through several streets in the city, only to discover that the house had seen from afar ball fake religion is hastily closed the door. He came out immediately and go to a small village, the same things happen just like that. Venerable very astonished. Previously Dharma flourished in this area, so for now people no longer Sangha little respect? Venerable try to look for one who knew the day before to inquire:

- The Buddha left of this mineral has not long ago, this place is also still rising out of them, so why is everyone losing reverence to the Triple Gem, not offering alms to monks ?

The benefactor replied:

- Venerable Sir! After the Buddha left this city, for several years, the monks here arises the movement of construction. They are racing to build houses, buildings, Bhagavan said to have been allowed. Speaking to right, if the monks built monasteries, where the auditorium to practice for missionary activities and then they lay sangha we wholeheartedly support, this hand built and were leading throughout the tiny house used as a leisurely private communications; What a stone, bricks, tiles, wires, carrying things; Devotees rejoice now call it, tomorrow sure to count them amnesty and that. Gradually people are mystified fears, not knowing the situation and will last until the new never ending! They'd get discouraged, even in the city, outside the city, everyone saw the monks as they immediately latch closure to avoid epidemics. Oh, tell us more and more to feel sorry for the Buddha!

Seeing the situation is not stable, respected author returned immediately to the right Rajgir Buddha things up. After listening, he associated with false religion back into the wild, re-assembled monks, teaching them not to take advantage of the trust of followers. Buddha:

- Dharma of Tathagata handed thanks to the purity and nobility of the sangha. When the study reached no place for the natural dignity of their rise. So you should not keep him credit requires them to provide this kind of ordnance; On the contrary, your teacher should always think of serve others. You do not ever make him devotees start any piece of mind for the sangha. Critical tasks your student teacher is preaching rather than calculating the care of private accommodation. If he wanted building monasteries, lecture halls as a basis for legal practice and propagate sangha, it should work, joy Tathagata accept. You should know him, if every teacher were increasing health concerns construction of their own congregation, the forces immediately dispersed; because of that, this amnesty will increase with increasing residence opposite the other, each will have isolated itself, and unions do not exist!

Finished teaching the monks, the Buddha returned to save the religious Rajgir and stay there to worry author reorganizing all development activities by increasing the local school, most regain the trust of followers. After everything was back to normal, respected author Mineral Field immediately left to return to the practice continued abode.

NAN AN AWARD OF RELIGIOUS SCHOLAR 10.- bowl:

Venerable Great Buddha Kashyapa highly trusted. Buddha always love fake religious household, for all those little things really.

In the congregation of Buddhist monks Man Additional groups (Punarvasu), consisting of six, often referred to as "mainland populations monks" (sadvargikabhiksu - chabbaggiyabhikkhu). They are the gang together to disrupt, do the bad things. The reason Buddhism has crafted more as well as some precepts of this position. There was a time in the monastery Member States, groups of monks were scrambling storage bowls. At that time, in a general way, that bowl has two types: type tin and porcelain. But in fact, depending on material, color and local manufacturing that it was divided into six different categories bowl: tin bowl, bowl bowl ma (Ma Su world producers), bowl of old cells (water O old), elderly bowls priority (priority country Aging), black bowl, and bowl of red. In the bowl of this kind, the "continental populations monks' specialized collecting bowl well, so precious to storage. They present plenty of bowls, all kinds, in their own room, which looks like a shop selling ceramics. From morning to night they are not so interested in the study concerns only do things like that only. Buddhist congregation of the bhikkhus, just begging to live, so the money kept absolutely golden prohibited, even cloth, rice will not be stored; so this new group of monks redirect their affinity to the collection and storage bowls you! As the Buddha said that, he invented what gender, prohibition of the union not to hoard bowl.

Government on Thursday declared that Buddhism for this world religion Ananda had also been a ghost bowl bowl so you want to make offerings and respected author Kashyapa University; but unfortunately for Ananda is then adhered University Kashyapa is author of goods in other countries, are not present at Sravasti. If the medicine according to the principles presented in Ananda not be permitted to withhold that bowl even if only for a short time until the author Dai religious Kashyapa returned. Do not know how more sex Ananda and brought to the Buddha. Buddha asked:

- As long as the teacher of the University Kashyapa Sravasti?

- Buddha! About ten days.

Buddha went convened mass, preaching about righteousness and methods of cultivation seriously happy early momentum, and false praise respected University Kashyapa as a head monk momentum exemplary conduct, does not have any weaknesses, Buddha told you in the "continental populations monks" just started studying happiness momentum with Great Kashyapa. Then, because of the religious offerings bowl of Ananda, Buddhist philosophy particularly on the international regime that would allow effective after ten days from that day.

11. ONLY SPECIAL asceticism:

Great Kashyapa lifelong practice, practice only started shortening. A most heart specialists, whether in the circumstances, no matter who counseled, respected author unchanged minded. Such ascetic, should keep the following 10 things: 1) Standing in a deserted place; 2) Standing in one place; 3) Standing in the graveyard where; 4) Please eat to live; 5) Please eat the rich not the poor choices; 6) Eat only one meal a day; 7) Only three kept their side of the shirt, the cushions and a bowl; 8) Austria wearing a piece of cloth rags of many people walked away, picked up and pieced back; 9) Often thought of sitting under a tree; 10) Most of the field is still empty .

A person diligent with sticky religious ascetic practices such as fake University Kashyapa, just like in their own, very few teachers of the students, when compared with the monks progressive, positive, the false religion completely different. But the compassion of the author's religion still has enough respect for people, but religious enthusiasm of the author for the work of preaching for the obviously flawed.

During the Buddha and two disciples Shariputra large and Moggallana lived on earth, have said that sentient beings teaches responsibility as well as coping with unbelieving, but Buddhism is the main religion two authors He has to shoulder the majority; Great Kashyapa worshiped false only dedicated practice, sometimes with great once we lay listening to the sermon. After Buddha ', the author himself raised religious strength and become full capability and capacity to replace the master Buddhist congregation. At that time, the false religion like a great red bell, when it's quiet, it quiet, but when they found the organic sound resounded throughout the place.

Before the second also had the honor author Shariputra and Moggallana advised to forget his false religion go and Mind, received the mission of preaching for student interests, uphold truth, but before then religion is false maintain a level of his comrades. Venerable said:

- I do not dare to take the responsibility of spreading the Dharma, religious followers. The teachers of those who do not have faith or malice, then I really do not have the courage and energy. What I was trying to make up in the routine of my own practice as a template created hardships for practice later people see and respect the lifestyle practice basics of sexual minorities practice early momentum. Missionary activities benefit students is extremely important mission, please complete trust in two brothers.

However, two false religion that he still does not get frustrated, hailed the contrary:

- Rather, the Dharma includes many respects, each person should pursue the ideal of their own practices. Brother can afford and positive energy to the Dharma banner in some ways, it is also a great elaborately extraordinary. We are extremely delighted.

Great Venerable Kashyapa did not like the lifestyle group in the Truc Lam monastery or Member States, and even hate the ones where there is a fun atmosphere, fresh; Tria back, just like a static religion is false in the empty place, or sitting visualize where the mound corpses, patched clothes resting under a tree. He came to realize that it was the stinking corpse or remains idle other inert really helpful to elaborate meditation, most shops are allowed on impermanence, suffering, not, selflessness, etc. impure. . Venerable do not fear heavy rain, fog harsh sun. Although dry aging body lean, respected author still lives alone deep in the jungle mountains, or at the graveyard full of skeletons; for the first sticky momentum ascetic practice, though anyone advice, did not abandon false religion.

12 The BUDDHA'S DIVISION TWO SEATS:

The more you get older, severely University Kashyapa finer lines than in the first practice virtues momentum. Seeing the age old religion was fake but very tired but still kept a permissive ink mist sun beams, still brave the rain with the wind screaming yelling, Buddha also taken as afraid, he should want to advise religious practices of her suspension.

Then the Buddha dwells in lecture form Loc (Mrgaramatr - Migaramata - United monastery near Vienna, Sravasti). One day to go invite respected Buddhist author. Venerable stared dressed, hair long filenames, legs wobbly steps, to the Buddha. The novice monks where you know who is respected authors, solution found emaciated so comfortable, it just looks fake religion with contempt eyes; even longer precluded the authors come close to the Buddhist religion. Buddha foresaw that their psychological, so remote beckons:

- Come to me, Mr. Dai Kashyapa! Tathagata has half the seats available leave here, I go to sit with Tathagata!

Buddha heard this, you immediately run the other monks soon, because then they know where elders are respected author Kashyapa University, illustrious reputation in the congregation that they have heard but do not know the face list.

Venerable Lord Buddha is finished, step back a few steps, then said:

- Buddha! I'm just the humble disciple of Bhagavan. Do not you dare sit with Exalted seat.

Buddha immediately towards the mass, clear them of imposing broad boundless virtues of Great Kashyapa schedule and practice of true religion like Buddhism author; and suppose that this life is respected despite not having fake Buddha himself practiced and attained enlightenment, Single sensory evidence fruition. So no one was surprised to see that Buddha assumed special importance and respect for religion has assumed a significant status in the sangha. On that day, the Buddha also respected authors recommend by the way should not continue ascetic lifestyle that comes back to normal life for old age support workers suffer undue suffering. Although deep feeling for the kind of Buddhism, false religion still refuses to change his ascetic lifestyle. Venerable sir:

- Buddha! Ascetic way of life for me nothing is overly miserable all, whereas I am a very happy life. You do not have to worry about enough food and not be related to the loss of life, it is a lifestyle completely at peace, freedom and liberation. Venerable sir! Of course, one would expect that such life is lived only for himself, not as the child's brother Sariputta, Moggallana, Phu Lau Na, Ca Chien Dien, etc. .. each shoulder the burden for preaching the Dharma, not afraid of difficulties, not the network itself unfortunately, remains just how legal the wheels are spinning, they are all imbued with the law, are entitled to legal considerate touch, but still not enough heat love for their missionary activities, children will never forget the kindness of the Exalted; and due to reports that the temple seeking blessings of Bhagavan that I tried to keep the lines as ascetic practices. Child thief thought, beings to be saved is also due to the edification of the sangha. Those who do missionary work will become the magician of the people closest to them; so, first of all by themselves - ie the Sangha itself - have been consolidated, the new missionary activities for the benefit entirely. But the sangha itself needs to be consolidating like? I think, there is only one way to go is to have a sangha routines seriously from that pot to support his personal virtues. In the teachings of Bhagavan started the unfortunate trend is a way of living the most serious. Must practice this lifestyle Pathology withstand hardship, could patience, can live frugally, can most virtuous and the most attention because of the legal pro. Venerable sir! Child well as to contribute directly to strengthening Sangha and also indirectly benefited human beings should rejoice still continue ascetic lifestyle. Exalted Please forgive my sins bigotry!

Very happy to look at the Great Buddha Kashyapa, then looked down at the mass said:

- You heard him clearly the words of elders University Kashyapa yet! In the future, if the Tathagata Dharma is destroyed, it is not caused by drugs or natural pagan vandalism, which is due to increase corrupt unions, corrupt! Great Kashyapa said is very true. Want to propagate the Dhamma to the light of truth shone forever in this world, it is a prerequisite to being sangha consolidation; that want to strengthen the Sangha, people have to live life seriously. Dharma of the Tathagata, Great to have you as a new Kashyapa capable and status to host.

Toward the false religion University Kashyapa Buddha said:

- Great Kashyapa! Then go back to where he lives to practice the path he has chosen. Tathagata does not pressure him anymore. Anytime want to see the Tathagata, he just arbitrarily come to the Tathagata!

13. BOWL OF BUDDHA legacy:

Last time soon, now has 80 Buddhist life. Grace of Buddha in the world was also complacent. Tin Buddha was about to enter nirvana newswires for monks and nuns know. Earlier, fake religious Mahamaudgalyayana week, and well respected author Shariputra serial nirvana. Now, before entering nirvana, the Buddha also was thinking of choosing successor to preside over the work of missionary activities as well as to lead the congregation. Only two can be selected: age, class has University Kashyapa, Ananda young then. In this respect two Kashyapa fake University has been awarded to "the treasures of the mystery" ( Dharma label organs ) in the conference Linh Son childhood and that, thus tacitly accepting the Buddha's successor the design of the Buddhist religion.

Buddha in nirvana Kusinagara (Kusiangara - Kusinara). On that day, respected author Dai Kashyapa not present. Venerable is guided practice for five hundred monks in the north end, the United Na Massage Furnishings water. Just be believed, respected author so painful, that speed was led under five hundred, take no rest day and night to Kushinagar. Arrive, religion, the author saw the sad face sit quietly, with the land, it is rolled out and wept bitterly, but with the group "continental populations monks" it is joyful to say:

- You do have to mourn that so? Buddhist nirvana, then we are free. In life, the old man was saying anything and we expressly bound, restrained us. He said this is not just or good, the other not true. He said too much bother us too! Now the old man had passed away and we were gentle, comfortable as could be!

The monks because he wanted to pursue scope out the fire men, but respected authors stopped, told the "continental populations monks:

- The Buddha has entered nirvana kill everyone grieving the loss of shelter. Why did the foolish laugh and say such words wrong!

Today was the seventh day after the Buddha passed away. Fire Forum and prepare everything for the tea ceremony spleen were ready. He came into the office space needle, one of Buddha's feet sticking out of the metal concerned. Venerable not stop crying, hurry bowed and said:

- Exalted O Lord! Please rest assured Exalted. We will follow in the footsteps of Princess Exalted that go to.

Venerable Buddha finished speaking the truth back into the metal collection agency, and immediately above the natural fire burning. Since then, the responsibility was handed down by Dharma bear false religion.

14. aggregation into electricity:

Ninety days after the Buddha's passing, Congress aggregation method was celebrated organ.

BEFORE the end, the choice of venue and take care of the cost of the meeting was to honor the hard work Kashyapa fake University. The Truc Lam Monastery and Member States are too large, moreover, there are many monks you have not attained li sex. Finally, the author has decided to honor Bat All La (Pippaliguha), a widely real cave, hidden, in the southeast of Rajgir, to place the file. During this conference, five hundred Arahat disciples of Buddha were gathered Isaac and worship your false religion Kashyapa University, Ananda, A Norwegian Law, Pros and Phu Lau Na Pali foremost on line . (At this point you another great disciple of Buddha as Kondanna, Long Qin Pros Speaker Kashyapa, Shariputra, Moggallana, Rahula, are entered nirvana, while Bo and Ca Chien Tu Dien did not find traces of the translator tich.- Notes) .

First, as the defense is, respected author Dai Kashyapa blamed Ananda religious right in front of the mass with six points, but the most important is to respect that hour is not yet certified Ananda holy Arhat. Rebuke of the false religious truth no less majestic Buddha makes religion Ananda dare not speak, just know received for execution. From the second day onwards Congress, in turn, respect Ananda reciting the scriptures, religious author Pros Pali chant the discipline, and respect for the author Phu Lau Na recite the discourses, complete three warehouses Museum of the precious Dharma. French dancer's highway orange Buddha, sacred repositories such vast seas that we have inherited today, mainly because of religious kindness University Kashyapa so fake.

When the Buddha was alive, while you respect his fake account which is the disciple of the Buddha procedures, such as Sariputta and Moggallana, positive activities both inside and outside the congregation, the authors adhered University Kashyapa just quietly asceticism; sometimes with great has published several religious works. But after two other false religion and Buddhist nirvana turn the new false religion revealed to be a person with full capacity and dread Lord to lead congregations. At the time, religion is indeed fake rock foundation of religion.

Attitude of false religion is very conservative, unlike the radical spirit of two respected authors Sariputta and Moggallana. So the practice style seclusion, forests, ascetic and conservative Buddhism today, has affected most respected authors from University Kashyapa, it is undeniable.

15. met in FRANCE MEETING SCHEDULED LONG HOA:

Approximately thirty-two years after the Buddha entered nirvana, respected author suddenly arose University Kashyapa concept despondent.

He came to think: "Blessed is the Master of us. As parents injured so, his kindness to us deep as the sea. To report any kindness that part of the temple, we had to paddle to spread the Dharma, the everlasting hope to thousands after. Now that we have the right old, too frail then, where there is more to do; spending by our nirvana, there is not the right time " . In that respect authors have over one hundred life.

So thinking, false religion and tried to find the monastery of Ananda religion, vice wishes Ananda legal organ for inheritance then turn to each church tower relics offering prayers. Then return false religious Rajagriha Asajatu farewell king, but military honor guard, for he knows that the King is asleep. Venerable Rajgir went left toward the mountain chicken legs, more than eight miles from the southwest. This mountain is composed of three towering hills, making the shape of chicken feet. From halfway down the mountain full of thistles, halfway up the mountain, all the trees are thriving. When false religion up to the mountain tops all three naturally open to reveal a seat. Venerable he took out a cushion liner grass and sat down, and said to himself: "Now we have to get the shirt to protect and gazing unseen pressure to keep this body, waiting to six million seven hundred thousand years later, the Bodhisattva Maitreya, the Buddha descended into our worship is to find and assist students who taught them " . Venerable finished speaking, the tops of the mountains three consecutive Chicken Legs closed, concealed flesh of false religion.

King Asajatu respected authors believe knowing the sad passing away untold abrasion, immediately seek religious cult Ananda is invited to go up to the mountain and Chicken Foot. When the two arrived, the three mountains to open simultaneously, to show them respect authors Highway University Kashyapa neatly sitting in the meditation posture. Two consecutive offerings and worship then back down, immediately closed three such mountain old ...END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGHTFOLD PATH.NAM MO SAKYA MUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.6/8/2014.
