Buddha and relatives (I)
"Serving relatives is a great blessing" - Happiness Economics [1]
The King Wants to Meet Buddha.H ay believe Buddha is seated in the Rajagaha (Rajgir) and is spread Dharma, King Suddhodana (Suddhodana) more eager to meet the intellectual. Nine consecutive times, the king commanded nine envoy to invoking the Buddha KAPILAVATTTHU (Kapilavastu). Contrary to the wishes of the king to wait, to see the Buddha, all nine were taken to the angel delight, heard in French, please ordained, and attained Arhat. When you have attained the Arhat him earnestly not to think of the world should not be invited to the mission of the Buddha. King get disappointed. After all, He commanded the servant spirit, Kaludayi, who is a close friend of the Buddha when he was Prince Siddhattha (Siddhartha Ta), appeal to the Buddha. Kaludayi serve as a network, but please allow his Buddhist monastic.
envoy As before, Kaludayi also been blessed to hear the Buddha preach the Dhamma, attained Arhat and ask ordained. But other than that he does not forget the other missions. He fervently implore the Buddha visited the royal women, now elderly. Then to dry season, can get around easily, the Buddha returned to their home town with a large student. On the long road from Rajagaha (Rajgir) to KAPILAVATTTHU (Kapilavastu), he divided each short leg, walking and preaching, arrived two months later.
Everything has been prepared for the Buddha seated in Hue Members of Prince Nigrodha, Sakya (Shakya). When the Buddha arrived, the conceit seniors think Shakyamuni line: "The hermit is nothing other children, our grandchildren, should make young people welcome the Magi, in the following we will , and sit still, do not worship the Buddha. " To overcome feelings of emptiness and arrogance of the senior royal, famous Buddha flying between heaven and spiritual powers, conjure Yamaka Pātihāriya, "sometimes divine power", making fire and water at the same time play born from the pores [2].
Seeing dread magical power of the Buddha, King Suddhodana (Suddhodana) to pay homage to him and say that this is the third time the prostrate [3]
All the other princes will imitate the king, bowed respectfully Buddha.
When people pay homage to finish, he fly down and sit on a high chair was prepared. All royalty are modest sat around, listened quietly Buddha.
At this moment, a sudden rain fall down, causing the lively chatter among the princes of the phenomenon 's weird.
Next, Buddha Jataka Vessantara lecture [4], teaches that similar cases have happened in a past life, when he preached before an audience composed of their relatives. All of them take delight.
, but when split out about, no one knows the duty to provide time to the Buddha and Disciples of boys increased. The King Suddhodana (Suddhodana) do not know, because I thought, "If you're not Prince then left the palace to go?" so he returned to the palace banquet and presentation communication awaited Buddha.
Buddha Tri Binh and Go International High King Suddhodana
Because no pleas should own Buddha disciples prepared to put the alms. Before you go, consider Buddha as follows: "When I got home, the Buddhas of the past have come right into the house for the relatives and also to go from house to house." After realizing that he went home, not alms, the Buddha did the same, leading to the monks in the streets KAPILAVATTTHU (Kapilavastu) alms.
Upon hearing of Princess Yasodhara (Da Du Da La) recounts fleeting action seems impolite of the Buddha, the king took astounded upset, went out to find him and after worship, saying:
"Behold, the prince, why can it hurt Such imperial system? father taken as humiliating to see the child walking through a city that usually only come in procession on the gold. debtor Why so humiliated father? "
To the surprise of his father The Buddha replied,
"Great king, the Tathagata is not to humiliate the United! Tathagata only act in accordance with the tradition of the Tathagata lineage"
- but this baby Prince! Could it be the traditional royal line is raising life by begging for food? We are the royal lineage of the heroic Mahasammata not just a trivial class humiliating to beg to feed the network.
- great king, not necessarily royal tradition of alms is the Network. But this is the tradition of the Buddhas. Thousands of Buddhas in the past still go begging for alms.
then, standing on the street are, the Buddha advised his father as follows:
"- not to chase distractions, always mindful (when walking for alms, standing before one door.) The Chief Justice's dignified behavior will be happy and peaceful life in this world and in the future life. [5] "
Listen to this German King was realized the Truth, Da Tu attained Huon . The King approached the procession of the Buddha bowl and Disciples same thing about his royal brother up. Once the implementation is complete, the Buddha preached the following:
"Be happy dignified administration. should not be filed under distraction. stately The Chief Justice would keep happy and peaceful life in this world and the future to. [6] "
The king hearing, sage attained Ham (Sakadagami, Circuit Lai), second floor of the four storey church and attained her freezer Pajapati Gotami Huon.
Later, with the previous report that, when Prince ascetic in the forest, there are rumors that the Emperor so unbearable mortification austere lifestyle So he died, but the king refused to believe. Buddha Jataka to King Dharmapala paragraph [7] (Tri French Jataka), recounts that in a previous life was also King refused to believe that his son died, when someone reported the same. At that time it was only bones, the bones of the child protection, but the king did not believe. This time, when listening to the French king having achieved Ham (Anagami, Real Lai), sacred story Tuesday.
During the dying minutes, the king heard the Buddha speak French and last time prime Arahatship before eyes. After being awarded a seven day, King Suddhodana (Suddhodana) ice. When the Buddha was about forty years old.
Buddha and Princess Yasodhara (Yasodhara)
Princess Yasodhara (Yasodhara), commonly known as Rahulamata, or Bimba, or Bhaddakaccana, the son of King Suppabuddha, reigning national Koliya, and Queen Pamita , King Suddhodana girls [8]. Princess Yasodhara (Yasodhara) the same age as Prince Siddhattha. At sixteen her up, Prince Siddhattha was chosen as king Suppabuddha pro code after a martial arts demonstration. At that time the princess's life is extremely abundant peace, joy and happiness. In twenty-nine years old, the day she give birth to a son, who only child named Rahula (Rahula), the Prince thoughtfully and intelligently brilliant, beloved husband of Mrs. and decisions from give it time to find a way out of suffering life. Not a farewell beautiful young wife and gentle noble, the prince left the palace in the night, leaving her full responsibility and care for babies education. In the morning, when she was expecting Prince to celebrate as usual it was believed he had to leave. Her melancholy joy unspeakable. She has lost the most valuable treasures in life. Palaces at that time for just her dark prison. The only consolation is her newborn prince.
, there had been many noble princes watch Kshatriya lineage heard asking, but she refused them all and always loyal to his beloved husband. When her husband heard religious life, she took off all her jewels and gold rings gold robes. During the period of six years, when Gotama Magi trying to fight his enlightenment, the Supreme Princess Yasodhara always watching every move and live like that.
When the Buddha returned to his hometown in KAPILAVATTTHU and when King Suddhodana invited to the palace, all boys up to pay homage to everyone, but Princess Yasodhara did not. She thought: "If we still kept most everything clean a virtue, then the optical Exalted forest will come. Then we will worship Him."
After the implementation is complete, the Buddha gave the bowl held for the King, led by two disciples, entered the room, the princess, was sitting on the seat prepared for him, and says: "Let the princess bowed arbitrary Tathagata liking. should not say anything. "
Now listen to Buddha, Princess commanded all market women were dressed in yellow. When the Buddha entered the room and sat there, quietly walked to the princess, save the legs, knees, kowtow on his feet and bowed to the will of her, and then sat reverently aside. Then King Suddhodana (Suddhodana) open praise of her virtue and loyalty praise her purity as follows:
"O Blessed One, when the princess heard his yellow robes, she also robed in yellow , to know the real him only once a day, she did the same, he does not know when the high bed, she is also lower, to hear him give without garlands and perfume, she also abandon her material, while the noble prince who hope to matchmaking, she did not care to see anyone. indeed virtuous Princess integrity. "
- "Not just in the last life of the Tathagata in a past life, she was protected, highly respected and loyal to the Tathagata. "
Buddha and the King continued, to comfort her before he left the palace, art Candakinnara Jataka stories, recall the relationship between him and the princess in past life. [9]
Later, when King Suddhodana died, Queen Pajapati Gotami ordained monks and nuns (Bhikkhuni), Princess Yasodhara also ordained and elected Arahatship.
In the credit of women, she Yasodhara heads of those who have attained spiritual powers (Maha abhinna) [10] and passing away at the age of seventy-eight.
Her name is not mentioned in the verse Therigatha but notable She has recorded in the Apadana [11]
Buddha and Rahula (Rahula)
Rahula (Rahula) is the only child of Crown Prince Siddhattha and Princess Yasodhara. His date of birth right to decide which Prince Siddhattha worldly escapism. Princess Gospel given birth to a son, Prince while pondering contemplation of defending fluid. Contrary to usual when people have their first child, he did not overjoyed. He laments, "Rahu JATO, bandhanam jatam!", "A 'Rahu' was born, was another tie!" Thus the king's father, grandson named Rahula. [12]
in the context Rahula not mature father, mother and grandfather were raised. Buddha's first return KAPILAVATTTHU, Rahula was seven. On the seventh day after the Buddha to save his hometown, Princess Yasodhara dressed and groomed for the Buddha, told me:
"Hey baby, look at that, yellow monk robes, looking like a violation God among the twenty thousand monks! his father and his child is a priceless treasure, very great. Ordained Since we have not seen. Run and ask him to give it to the child my heritage. said I like this: "Dear Father, I a prince. After ascending the throne, the king will be a kingdom to rule. Right now I'm in real need. Dear father would give you, because that is the property of the father of the child. "
naive boy Rahula (Rahula) did as she commanded, approached the Buddha and, in a very Dear me:
" White Samana, only his shadow also makes me very happily cool. "
When the meal the Buddha left the palace. Rahula by his feet and clear: "May He give you the inheritance." And added many more stories, but none prevented. Buddha did not prohibit follow. Upon returning to dwell in him staying flexible is the Buddha thought:
"He wanted his father's legacy, but in the world property results is full of negativity. Tathagata will give it the noble heritage of seven parts which were recorded Tathagata was under the Tree of Enlightenment. Tathagata will help it become the owner of a fortune superpower. "
He called Sariputta Buddha (Sariputta), ordaining for teaching Rahula (Rahula.)
Then on Saturday, Rahula Life ordaining.
Upon hearing the news grandson loved the king Suddhodana ordained extremely melancholy. prices to meet him seated Buddha and Buddhism slowly apply from now on ordaining non-committee for the father who has not been allowing parents. King said: "When the Blessed forsaken world away, hundred extremely painful. Then Nanda, and this is the case Rahula. The love of the father is indeed lost child who seems to be cutting the skin, cut meat, tendons, bones are cut, the marrow. Exalted Please accept this petition, will not ordaining issued for a child who does not allow his parents. "[13]
Buddha willing to accept the request and enacted into law.
It's very hard to imagine a boy can noble life under monastic order. Rahula But Sa-di (Rahula) have recently particular smart and obedient respect the rules very diligently studied. sutras written that every novice up early morning, rising out of the hands of a handful of sand, and voluntarily release: "We hope that today we learned a lot as how much sand here!"
One of the first texts Rahula was the first lecture is Ambalatthika Rahulovada Sutta, stressed the importance of true happiness.
On one remote to see the Buddha, Rahula Sa-cell cleanup to available seats and foot-washing water to the Buddha. When washed, Buddha leaving some water in the bowl and asked:
"Rahula, you see a little bit of water left in the bowl does not?"
- White Buddha, womb show.
- In the same way, Rahula, life novice indeed not mean anything if she lied without shame.
Buddha then slap all the water in the bowl and says:
"Life is indeed like Sa-di leaves, if left lying without knowing shame. "
Then the Buddha bowl upside down and says:
"Life Sa-di indeed be reversed, if there lie without shame."
Buddha finally turned back to straight up and bowl and says:
"Life Sa-di indeed empty and tasteless, if still lie without shame."
"With a liar without shame, I proclaim, no ugly sin that he can not do. Therefore, Rahula, you should try to establish care decisions: - Oil while playing, I do not lie. "
Emphasizing the importance of honest pride with easy to understand examples, the Buddha explained to Sa Rahula-di infer the value of the basic and virtue, the common image, children may perceive:
"- Rahula, the mirror to do? '
"- White Buddha, to reflect the image. "
"- In the same way, Rahula, before scrutiny to the actions, make wall reflection. Before talking to scrutiny, reflection. Before you think to make scrutiny and reflection wall.
"Whatever you want to do (by itself), must reflect this: 'Now, the main thing we want to do this by itself, this action harmful to us, or harmful to others, or harmful to us and to others. 'So this is immoral actions, this action brings sorrow and suffering. Such action, you must avoided, should not do.
"If on the other hand, when reasoning, I noted that: 'Now the action that we want to do with themselves, would not be harmful to us, there is no harm to anyone else, and not harmful to us and to others. 'Thus, it is a good deed, will bring peace, joy and happiness. Act like you do. "
And the Buddha taught Rahula Sa-di (Rahula) to take place during inference, and after, do something.
"While I was doing anything by itself, you must reflect: 'Now this activity we are doing by itself, is not harmful to us? Or not harmful to others? Or are harmful to us and others do not? '
"If the inference, I noted that: 'Now this action we are doing by itself, is harmful to oneself, harmful to others, or harmful for us and for others. ' Thus, it is immoral actions, will bring sorrow and suffering. Should I stop now, do not continue to act anymore.
"if, when reason, I stated that: 'Now this action we are doing by itself, is not harmful to ourselves, there is no harm to others, is not harmful to us and to others. ' As such, it is a good deed, will bring peace, joy and happiness. Such action, I have repeated many times. "
And Buddha added:
"If, when reasoning, I noted that: 'Now, this action that I have done is evil.' I have to confess, to speak with the priest or to the wise of, or with the brethren in the Church. Have repented, you have to leave in the future, should not be repeated. "
Those advice about acting positive, negative, and thought of the same thing.
Buddha explained that the long lines to keep a clean mind , it is essential to always infer, and he ended all French as follows:
"So that I have tried exercise, meditate always take the wall to keep clean all actions by body, speech, mind . "
In the Samyutta Nikaya (A Magazine content) [14], there is a special program to record the Buddha's teaching novice Rahula the impermanence of all things.
because Venerable Rahula ordained at an early age Buddha should take care to advise and guide him on the right path.
Sutra Sutta Buddha Nipata notes that often repeated over and novice Rahula following verse [15]:
"Give up the pleasures of the senses - just mellow seductive medium. With firm faith, abandon the family to end all suffering.By the age of eighteen, on the occasion of an ideological attachment arises related to her beautiful body, Sa-di Rahula (Rahula) was listening to a French article about the profound spiritual development. One day novice by the Buddha for alms. Respected performer majesty of two monks seated view is like cutting boards loudly object to go with the noble object, such as swans wade led the king's palace on the lake, such as reservoirs and imposing the assiduous lobster. You are both beautiful body, both noble and royal line of respect, both from taking steps to leave the throne. While Contemplating the face of the Buddha, Rahula Sa-di (Rahula) think: "I also like the Exalted beautiful, my father. Buddha's Body incredibly beautiful and have bodies too . [16] "
Please find a place in distant places, hidden, quiet and calm.
contentment in the level Please do.
sexual health No, the bowl, the necessities and shelter.
should not return to this world.
Be strict precepts and restrained senses.
Be carefully guarded sensuality and make the world boring.
Stay away from flashy appearance of things. Cultivate most interested in the clean and quiet. Develop what does not nourish the surface layer outside. conceit or eliminate latent qualities in mind. eradicated conceit As such, you will go through life in absolute peace and tranquility. "
The Buddha just read that evil ideology. walking, he stopped, turned to teaching as follows:
"Notwithstanding beautiful shape or bad, or how, it still would have been observed thus: This one is not mine (N'etam mama) , this is not it (N'eso'ham 'asami), this is not my soul (Na me so atta) [17] "
Mr. Rahula transparency with reverence to Buddha we should see body does not like. The Buddha taught that we must see all five aggregates (khandha) [18] like it.
Upon hearing the teaching of the Buddha, Rahula me permission not go into the village for alms every day. He stopped under the tree, sitting cross-legged lotus style, his straight and focused meditation.
Germans Sariputta (Sariputta), high priest of Sa-di Rahula (Rahula), then do not know who disciple to meditate on a subject that the Buddha has taught Rahula saw him sitting cross-legged under the tree are advised to focus on the breath chanting (anapana Sati).
novice Rahula was puzzled by awkward by Buddha as a teacher and health topics of the meditation taught a different subject.
said the teacher immediately of the priests, and then concentrates on breathing, to clear the Buddha would be explained at this point . His words led the Buddha counseled about topics other aggregate and aggregates, and he briefly mention a few other titles to meditate with the effectiveness of each such section temporarily tame any immoral activities etc. .. Finally, he explained the concept of legal breath-in, breath-out (anapana Sati).
Doing accordance with the teachings of the Buddha, Rahula novice processed attentively meditate and soon, when he heard of Cula Rahulovada Sutta [19], attained Arhat.
fourteen years after the Buddha's enlightenment, novice Rahula ordained, ordained monks. He passed away before the Buddha and Shariputra. Venerable Rahula is a very famous respected discipline. Verses in the Theragatha, following translation, is considered by him:
"We are twice blessed and blessed life friends called" Rahula own merit ', so that both - the Buddha and who discover the truth.
Indeed! (I) do not is back again (in the world).
Arhat, we deserve receive respect human offerings.
