"The Dharma permeates live happily with peace of mind. Intellectual who always delight in the Dhamma that the saint was discovered." - Dhammapada

The Dharma MasterS au Enlightenment days, when he was seated at Ajapala tree, on the waterfront Neranjara (Ni Contact Zen) meditation Buddha sat and thought to arise following him,
"Truly distress and no one to worship and homage. Or we look to a monk or brahmin to worship! "
Then He reflected:
"I have come to live near a monk or brahmin to reverence and worship, most advanced morality (silakkhanda) to perfection reasonable level? But this world does not see anyone, oil products Devas, Mara or Brahma, or between beings as recluses, Brahman, God and man, is the nobler virtues have to close, respect and devotion.
"We have come to live near a monk or brahmin to reverence and worship, almost lifting higher state of consciousness (samadhikkhanda) to perfection reasonable accommodation? But the world could not see anyone, oil products Devas, Mara or Brahma, or between beings as recluses, brahmins, God and man, is the nobler virtues to close it, respect glass and devotion.
"We must look to live near a monk or brahmin to reverence and worship, most advanced intelligence (pannakkahanda) to perfection reasonable level? But in this world, no one Crude goods Devas, Mara or Brahma, or between beings as recluses, brahmins, God and man, nobler brainer to close it, respect and devotion.
"We must looking to live close to a monk or brahmin to reverence and worship, that brings salvation (vimuttikkhanda) to reasonable level of perfection? But the world could not see anyone, oil products Devas, Mara or Brahma, or between beings as recluses, brahmins, God and man, is the nobler freed us to close, reverence and devotion. "
Then the thought arises following Him:
"What if I take the respect and worship of teachings that I have discovered?"
Then Brahma Sahampati should understand the Buddha from the scene Brahma world, as easily as a strong arm stretched straight out, or bend, appeared before the Buddha. And, robed in the external shoulder, left shoulder blank [1] folded hands bowed knees the Buddha and clear:
"Indeed, the White Buddha, such results, Tathagata Bach, Bach His Worship the application level, the supreme Buddha steps in the past are revered and worshiped the Church This French.
"Worship The application level, the rank supreme Buddha of the future will honor and worship this main dharma.
"Bach Exalted, ask Him who is the Offering Applications, rank in the supreme Buddha Modern, well respected and Dharma's cult! "
Brahma Buddha Sahampati with such transparency and added that:
"The Chief Position Tri variable in the past, the present and the future, those who have helped many be free from suffering - all he has, will, and is highly respected Supreme Dharma. It is characteristic of the Buddhas.
"So, who wants to look good for their health status, and looking forward to its maturity, be sure to honor the Noble Teachings to heart and remember the message of the Buddhas" .
Brahma Sahampati such transparency and reverently worship the Buddha, he walked around to the left and disappeared. Because monks are also great noble characteristics, should also deserve respect life leaders of the Buddha [2].
Delivery time to the Dharma Propagation
He went from tree to tree Ajapala Rajayatana. When sitting meditation, the following thought arises:
"Dhamma Tathagata has realized the magical indeed profound, difficult to realize, hard to grasp, serene, sublime, not within the scope of logic , subtle, wise only new insight. beings are craving for sensuality. Reasons causal relationship "Dependent Arising" is a very difficult subject to grasp, and Nirvana - termination status all phenomena arise conditional abandon all desire, craving destroy all non-attachment and termination - is a problem not so easy to grasp. If Tathagata teach the France was, surely others can not understand. fact that the useless costs, it is a waste of useless. "
Then the following question wonderful, never heard before, Buddha arises:
"As Lai could hardly have been realized "Dharma." Needless to popular "Dharma" at this time. Persons fraught with greed and hatred are not easily penetrate. craving person immersed in darkness, Dharma is not visible, because the craving covered as black clouds packed, so go upstream Dharma craving. Dharma deep, profound, difficult and very delicate perception. "
Think so, undecided Buddha Dhamma propagation. Then Brahma Sahampati He is not afraid to spread Dharma and because France was not listening to doom the world, should also appeal to the Buddha as follows:
"White of the Blessed, the Exalted beg of teaching ! Pray who spread Dharma Perfection! There are beings with little dust problems in many eyes, if not hear the Dhamma will have fallen damnation., but also who will discover the truth. "
Then Brahma Buddha noted:
"Long ago in Magadha (Magadha) have evolved a pure Dhamma does not, by the failure to find mundane. Pray Exalted wide open Countless happy being immortal .
"May the Blessed One allows people to hear Dhamma Immaculate order, Absolute Purity realized. Like the mountain standing on rocks looking down, saw clearly in each round bottom, Omniscient, wise, standing atop the castle's supreme Dharma splendor! Dear Omniscient beings would look down beings are immersed in a sea of endless suffering and mired in the cycle of life and death!
"Please tell him that sometimes heroes, the winner, who is Infinite Compassion This fishery wife, who was removing the ties. Xin He stood up and happy all the world's continents! Please spread the Buddha Dharma! would have conceived a "
Buddha replied:
"Behold, O Brahma , Tathagata thought he remain lingering in craving and aversion is not easy to perceive that the Tathagata Dharma realized. craving sunk him in the dark, with clouds covering craving, will does not see the Dharma teachings by going back in to the craving. Dharma deep, profound, difficult and delicate perception. because such reflection undecided Tathagata Dharma propagation. "
Brahma supply sometimes the second Buddha. Buddha replied as before.
When Brahma also invited a third time, the Buddha used to observe celestial world mark.
beings He noticed that many people who have less dust in the eyes, the cleverness, fools darkness of this temperament good, the other bad, there being docile beings also difficult to teach, and a few others, to feel that fear, seeing the threat of a life future.
well as in a lotus pond. Lotus green, red, white mixed. There are trees growing out of the water, grew up in the country, living in the heart of the country, and paints in primary fresh water. There are trees born in the country, grown in water, and the water comes out. There are other plants living in the water, and domestic growth beyond the water, not mud little problems.
Buddha declared:
"wife's being immortal beings were wide open. Let anyone with ears to hearing set full trust. Knowing the fatigue of the world had caught up earlier baffling Tathagata, decide not to teach the Dhamma and perfect glory. "
Brahma Sahampati I am happy, happy opportunities that have been requested propagate the Buddha Dhamma, revered worship Him, and walk in to the left to the right, where the Buddha sat, and worship from the back heel.
Two Compassion First Credit
After forty-nine days without eating, when the Buddha sat under the tree Rajayatana, two merchants and Bhallika Tapassu name from Ukkala (Orissa), on the way home, she passes seated Buddha . When approaching the two merchant where he was a god [3], which are relatives of a past life, told like this:
"Behold, both he, the Buddha had attained supreme director lemon Enlightenment, is seated in front of the other Rajayatana roots. Both his hurry to offer him the dry powder and honey [4]. Merit this will bring peace, joy, and his two long-term happiness. "
two businessmen Join glad to receive golden opportunity, preparing dough and honey finish near the Buddha, bowed respectfully and requested him to accept this humble offering two to two happily.
Buddha thought :
"The Tathagata does not receive a hand when things really. bowl No, how can the Tathagata received two gifts this?"
Then the four Heavenly Kings [5] predict thoughts Buddha, from four rise rushed to bring each of them a stone bowl [6] and transparency that:
"Bach of the Buddha, he would be happy to accept this bowl and four of her real life."
Buddha leader graciously used dishes as the food bowl of life offered meager at just that time, after a long day of fasting.
Upon completion of execution Buddha, two merchant knelt at his feet and transparency that:
"White goods Exalted, we ask refuge in the Buddha, refuge in France. Xin admitted he shared the good news since doing this until the last day of our lives ". [7]
It is the first two lay Refuge II Bao [8].
On the Road to Banares
accepting pleas Sahampati Brahma, the first thought of the Buddha before walking up the road is the greatest missionary:
"Who will be the first to enjoy life the Dharma? Who is going comprehension of the Dhamma quickly?
"There Alara Kalama [9] are educated, intelligent, is wise, and has for a long time there is not much dust in the eyes. Or would the Tathagata Dharma teaching for the first hermit. Magi will quickly perceive the Dhamma. "
An gods appeared before the Buddha, he bowed and transparency that: "Bach of the Buddha, Magi Alara Kalama died this week."
Buddha used mental label to confirm this. Uddaka Ramaputta He thought [10]. gods appeared and transparency that Uddaka Ramaputta Magi also died the previous night. Again Buddha label certification for wisdom.
Finally Germany Buddha thought of five men who served him diligently during the struggle to find the truth. With supernatural vision, he noticed this year is in the Deer Suppose, at Isipatana, Benares origin. saved him Uruvela waiting time that will facilitate travel to Benares.
On the path from the root to the Bodhi Gaya rain sun for his support in the last days, before the fruit reached Supreme Director, met a Magi named Upaka Buddha asked him:
"Behold, O brethren! Five of the Organic Act is very clear. Dao Huu complexion is clear and fresh. This, O brethren, why Dao Huu abandon family life? He is one of the brethren? Dao Huu spread the teachings of anyone? "
The Buddha replied:
"The Tathagata has surpassed all. Like all hybrids were transparent.
Tathagata has let go, remove the ties, were all escapism.
Tathagata was intently trying to concentrate power, greed eradicate the root (A stroll through La Han).
Already insight all. Tathagata who called him?
No one is master of the Tathagata. [11]
No one is equal to the Tathagata.
On this earth, and beings including gods Brahma, none can compare with the Tathagata.
Indeed Tathagata is an Arahant in this world,
Tathagata is the supreme guru:
Tathagata alone is Omniscient,
quiet and peaceful.
Tathagata are going to Kasi to transport the Dharma wheel between the world blind. Tathagata will sound the drums Infinite being immortal. "
Upaka turn asked:
"Hey Dao Huu Dao Huu was so affordable purportedly Arhat, super hero level, omnipotence?"
Buddha replied:
"All these steps every super hero has conquered its pollution are just as Lai. Tathagata conquered, exterminated all evil, wicked sin. So, this Upaka Magi, who is the super hero Tathagata. "
Hearing, Magi Upaka politely said:
"There can be so affordable, brethren?"
And his head, his back turned to the small road side, go away.
Buddha entirely unmoved. first obstacle on the road to spread the French do not discourage him. continue once he steps from one place to another, and one day to Deer Suppose, Benares origin.
Meet Back In Magi
remote to see the Buddha, five men, brothers Kondanna (Kondanna), discuss together, decide not to pay homage to him with reverence as before. The misunderstanding was the attitude of the Bodhisattva, in the successful fight to stroll through, he abandoned ascetic way too strict and absolute proved futile:
"Behold, brethren, Gotama Magi (Gautama) are going to have. lavish Magi did not try to persevere and came back to life avaricious. Magi did not deserve for our warm welcome and serve reverently. another I should Communion cup and medicine. But anyway, should also move to a seat available. hermit If he wants to sit on the seat. "
However, when the Buddha was in his step, the core Majesty His natural feel of five priests and, nothing was said, to receive the care and bowl, clean the seat, who went to get water for washing his feet. Nevertheless, five priests still calls him "avuso" (brethren), a commonly used form of address first among equal or superior to the guys in the vocative.
Buddha opening admonition:
"Hey, Magi, should not call the Tathagata by name or by the name of" avuso "(brethren). Tathagata is Buddha, the Enlightened. heard this, the Magi, the Tathagata has achieved status Countless states being immortal (Amata) and will preach. If strictly follow the teachings of the Tathagata, the teacher will also soon realized by intuitive wisdom and holy lives the ultimate life in this very life. To this noble goal, many of the noble clans will leave the property, career and home life to become no money, no house. "
Year of the hermit replied:
"Hey Magi Gotama (Gautama), previously with many serious attempts to Dao Huu precepts which failed to reach any supernatural wisdom, enlightenment is not something worthy of the Buddhas. now live lavish and abandon all attempts, Dao Huu back avaricious life, then how can accomplish superhuman intellect and his enlightenment equal to the buddhas? "
Buddha explained further: "Hey Magi, the Tathagata is not lavish, and never stop trying to return life not avaricious. Tathagata is Buddha, the Enlightened. Hear the Magi! Tathagata has the state of being immortal and Infinite will preach. If strictly follow the teachings of the Tathagata, the teacher will also soon realized, with intuitive wisdom and live the ultimate life of holiness, even in life this. Targeting many noble sons of the noble family would leave her possessions and home life to become no money, no house. "
hermit second time in keeping the prejudice and expressed disappointment. And the third time, after the Buddha repeated affirmation, of five men remained firm stance, expressed skepticism. Buddha asked:
"Hey, Magi! These teachers know that once Tathagata had previously told him that?"
- Truly.
Buddha repeated Tuesday that he is Mighty Enlightenment and the five priests can also realize, if the true teachings.
Those are true words uttered by the Buddha himself. Five men are wise, despite the bad reviews, when hearing this statement to make sure that Buddha Supreme attain and fully capable to guide you. In that time he believed the Buddha and sat down, listened quietly Noble Dhamma.
while Buddha preached for three, the other two went for alms, and all six - five priests and Germany Buddha - and to what degree to take two. By the next day, while the two French heard the other three went for alms.
All five men, who also suffered birth, aging, illness, death and craving, the Buddha advised remind and teach, all five are realizing the truth of life and their effort to escape the cycle of suffering was not born to vuotn place, no old age, no disease, no death, no sorrow, no craving, Thanh Binh An Us ultimate incomparable Nirvana, European absolute, not birth, aging, illness, death, sorrow and craving. Wisdom arises, in the understanding that the Liberator of his very solid, unshakable, and this is the last birth. The longer he never reborn.
Economics Zhuan Falun [12] refers to the Four Noble Truths, the First Sermon preached by the Buddha for the year. When listening to German Kondanna (Kondanna), the senior year, word has attained Stream [13], the first floor of the four holy saints. In the other four floors and holy attainments. When the Buddha heard of Anattalakhana Sutta [14] (Discourse on), refers to the selflessness, all five have attained Arhat.
First Year Apprentice
In lucid monk has attained Arhat is also the first five disciples of the Buddha. He is Kondanna names, Bhaddiya, Vappa, Mahanama and Assaji.
Kondanna (Kondanna) is the youngest of eight brahmin formerly King Suddhodana (Suddhodana) invited to attend the state photopeak neonatal death. Four others are children of four of the seven other elderly brahmin. All five brothers were together in forest practice. Hearing Prince Siddhattha (Siddhartha I) left the palace together all year to find Magi Gotama (Gautama) to serve. But until terminated Bodhisattva ascetic mortification life useless and actually began to foster the health worn again, the year he took to disappoint, leaving him to Isipatana. Then shortly Bodhisattva Buddha attained.
Germans Kondanna (Kondanna) is the first disciple of Lord Buddha attained Arhat monks and is also lower in the high-Sangha. The Assaji who will win over and lead Germany Sariputta (Sariputta), Buddha's disciples who later became head of the Church.
