"A remote location, not too far nor too close to the market to those who want to visit him, can come easily. A cool place, not crowded daytime noisy, quiet night, airy and unobtrusive, where it would be appropriate, "
the king thought his Bamboo Grove can meet the essential elements that should be transparent to the application offered to Buddha and Buddha Bamboo Forest monks ideal This, also known as "shelter of squirrels". This forest tent without glass houses for monks monks, but there are many shady trees and discreetly hidden places [3]. Anyway, that's where the first offerings to the Buddha and the monks. At home Veluvanarama (Zhu Lin) This tranquil Buddha House three times in a row and three different times, separated into three House.
Upon refuge, King Bimbisara (Bimbisara) exemplary life of a king. His regular habit eight men (bowl) in the six days (uposatha).
Kosala Princess Devi, daughter of King Maha Kosala and I was right behind the king of Kosala Pasenadi Bimbisara (Bimbisara). Ajatasattu (A Soap) son. Khema, a different non-precious she is a female followers diligently through the ingenuity of the king. She later ordained monks and nuns Khema and become the most followers of the Buddha's disciple women.
Though very level military intelligence and director enthusiastic mind, King Bimbisara (Bimbisara) bad consequences of money now , died in a bleak and dreary extremely painful.
Ajatasattu Prince (A Soap) was Devadatta (Devadatta) incitement, conspiracy to murder the father Bimbisara (Bimbisara) to occupy the throne. But work exposed, Ajatasattu caught, and full of compassion father had not sanctioned his men would deserve, but also for the prince abdicated gold, because I desire to see the king.
To repay , disloyalty prince had ascended the throne immediately ordered down his chest and slowly starve to death. Only the empress was allowed to visit. Once gone, she hid food in his pocket to bring her husband. Asajatu or rebuke her. Then again, she hides in the hair. Asajatu well known. Along the way, she washed her clean and then apply to a food stuff made of honey, sugar and milk. King Got to take this dish to feed. But Ajatasattu (A Soap) of the catch, and does not prohibit the mother to visit his father again.
meantime Bimbisara (Bimbisara) endured hunger, but please do not blame me.
has attained his freezer should Huon calmly, trying to go up and down the city, to experience spiritual happiness.
Seeing dad still playful, Ajatasattu (A Soap) to kill certain sight so ordered the barber to visit, sharp knife father peeled heel, oil and salt and then rubbing them on a hot fire until dead.
unfortunate that when the father to the barber secretly glad, I thought that I had to repent, to shave the hair to the procession. Contrary to his wishes, his barber to just execute the command to the cruel King Asajatu cruelly, giving him a very tragic death.
Same Day it Ajatasattu wife (A Soap World) royal birth to a male. Protestants believe the same time as his father Bimbisara (Bimbisara) died in prison.
mandatory post news given birth to a son, was read before. A joy unspeakable Soap. Both felt a lightness of joy. The love of a father for the first time in the budding heart, deep saline concentration, absorbed countless joints each canal. First child is a source of love, is an opportunity for the parents to enjoy a bold new religion, extremely clean. The first feeling of a new firstborn seems to put them into a strange realm, giving them the impression that he had blood dripping off his serial.
Ajatasattu Immediately rushed to find the beloved mother and asked: "O Late Model, when I was young, women and children are not royal?"
- Why do you ask so strange? She thought the world could not find where the good father as father and son. To her art to their children. When she was carrying you in the womb, mother's day heard a strange craving for exotic dishes. Mom button crave a little blood in the hands of her father. But does she dare to speak out. Then more and more pale mother, and finally confessed to her father. When he heard that father and son happily took his knife and slit her hand to draw blood. Then the prophets prophesied that the court will be the enemy of your father. Hence, the name is "Ajatasattu", which means "enemy unborn." She intends to kill you right in the heart, but not your father. When the baby is born, the mother remembered the prophecy, should want to kill again. Again, to prevent her father.
One day, I had a boil on one hand, extremely painful, crying day and night, no one is coax. Your father is the promotion of the court hearing, heard not so hold unto heart, holding you in the womb, and does not hesitate to suck my finger in his mouth, gently godson button. Horrible place! The tank boils, blood poured out of her mouth, and her father, afraid that I would listen arm hurts, my father always swallow the pus and blood in the stomach! Yes, the father of all human love, parental love for bold, just gently swallowed latex bloodstream.
Hearing that King Ajatasattu suddenly stood up, shouted like crazy: "Run quickly, drop out immediately I do my dear father. "
Alas, beloved father was natural that neck!
news second hand given to King Ajatasattu. King of miles to tearful emotion. Then he realized that only when the father began to realize the situation how I love you.
King Bimbisara (Bimbisara) and ice immediately reborn in celestial Catummaharajika (Four Heavenly Kings) named Janavassabha.
later King Ajatasattu (A Soap) is the Buddha, became a prominent lay people and create a lot of faith in the Tripitaka aggregation first.
Pasenadi King Kosala (Pasedena)
One has i other benefactors of the Buddha's royal patron Pasenadi King Kosala, the king Maha Kosala, ruled the kingdom of Kosala, the capital at Savatthi. He was the same age as the Buddha page, and by eminent virtue, lucky golden throne was born at his father's money. [4]
He refuge in the first year after starting propagate Buddha Dhamma. Samyutta Nikaya (Journal A Ham) recorded that one day Pasenadi King Kosala visited the Buddha and asked for his stroll through, when he was young.
Buddha replied,
"Great king, there are four things should not dismissed or despised. It was a warlike prince (khattiya), a snake, and a monk fire. [5] "
And one French Buddha significance on this topic. When finished Buddha, King Pasenadi I am happy, for initiation ceremonies refuge. Since that day the king became a loyal disciple of the Buddha. Book records that the King once pay homage to the Buddha finished, hugging his legs. Zeal, his revered Buddha also largely due to the wisdom of her Late Chief Mallika, very religious, cleverness, and learn fluent Doctrine. In many cases, her husband's lead on ethics as a true friend.
dreaming One day King sixteen consecutive times and get astounded concern [6]. Religious advisor Brahmo plate, guess that is something not good about going to present to the king and the king should kill cattle divine sacrifice to avoid painting. Obediently king prepared to sacrifice everything, an inhuman rituals can lose thousands of beings life. Queen Mallika can break the news and hurried up to almost persuaded King Buddha, would be explained. The King said, bringing the dream told Buddha Buddha and asked to explain the meaning. Buddha explained fluently.
Unlike the case of King Bimbisara (Bimbisara), king of Kosala good fortune, heard the Buddha speak French very much all. In the Samyutta Nikaya (Journal A Ham) have an entire section called Kosala Samyutta [7] to record the Buddha's teaching, King Kosala.
One day, when he was sitting almost Buddha, with a few passing hermit, his urticaria hairy, hirsute hair, long nails slid streamlined. The king stood up and bowed respectfully introduced himself: "transparent glass hermit monks, King Kosala Pasenadi station." When the hermit passed, the king returned to almost the Buddha and the Buddha's clear there are affordable Arahat. The Buddha explained that a human being, and enjoy the physical pleasures, hardly anyone was aware Arahatship prime and who is not. He says:
"Thanks to the close (Samvasena) knows morality (Sila) and one oil to another neighbor, also takes a lot of time, caution must be observed and lucid intelligence. Negligent person, wise not smart, not enough time to observe, oil can not close properly judged. Through conversations (samvoharena) we can realize a clean state (soceyyam) of others. In unrest, turmoil, adversity, show courage see, and in the discussion, to understand the wisdom of others. Nevertheless, it still would have to spend a lot of time, careful observation and wise to intelligence. "To summarize, the Buddha verse reads:
"Not so superficial layers of jewelry that people are aware of.As a monarch ruled a vast country, King Kosala war inevitable, especially with its neighbors. One time he had to make war with his nephew, King Ajatasattu (A Soap) and failed. Hearing that the Buddha taught:
During glimpse not believe in judgment.
designed to stretch, not morality, the vast vast world
can live under the y dapper elegance dignity of the person.
As the clay pot handles counterfeiting,
money Or lead plated gold,
he went away, hidden beneath makeup,
beautiful exterior presentable.
As the of the pollution. [8] "
"Winning rancor.Another time, King Kosala won victories and recorded the entire army of King Ajatasattu (A Soap), except the king. When he heard the news, read the Buddha on the following verses, still fully applicable in the present time, have always feared a devastating war could burst at any time:
losers live in misery.
, but who give victory and defeat
peaceful living [9] "
"A person can plunder others,The king of Kosala Buddha's teaching on how to deal with a lot of women also have useful meaning. One day the king of Kosala was Buddha spoke to the people that reported to the Chief Post Mallika had born to him. King is not happy. In India, the ancient and still today in many places, being a girl is not considered a good news, because a few selfish reasons such as issues such as dowry. In contrast to the mainstream ideas of that time, the Buddha expressed respect and praise the qualities of the woman through the following four characteristics:

But when robbed,
seized the other person back.
And looting, seizure, go back and forth constantly.
Which day is not bad results gracious enough to bear
The trigger crazy fantasy:
'Now the time has come, here's a chance!'
But when the fruit is produced, must be miserable.

invaders conquered.
Who Each mixture was cursed,
he preferred disturbed disturbed.
therefore, the process of behavioral evolution
surely Bandits robbed. [10] "
"A little girl, my Prince daivuong, canIn every woman there is a better man. "Itthi ekacciya seyya hi pi" is the origin of the Buddha's discourse. Between the Indian society at that time, during which the woman never deserves to be respected, noble words and full of heroic truth is a great encouragement for women.

's right, son of the noble wife
who will be true scouting

As empress, internal organization of King Kosala 120 year old ice, taken as melancholy king, and transparency to the Buddha that he could change anything to regain his life whom he respected and affectionately as mother. Buddha consoled as follows:
"All beings are dying. Lives to end up in death.'s Death is always in front. Well as pottery, oil stew cooked or not, are able to tank and tank to one day . properties 'pools' always conjoined with pottery. [11] "King Kosala enjoyed listening to French. National Oil jobs the most radical of how he tried to find opportunities to visit the Buddha preached and heard Ang. Two sets of Dhammacetiya [12] and Kannakatthala [13] Sutta was preached in such cases.
Chief Defender of King Kosala, before his death, was the daughter of a person making garlands. Sister of King Bimbisara (Bimbisara) is an other women. His sister is right behind King Bimbisara (Bimbisara), Asajatu mother.
King Kosala a prince named Vidudabha, later rebelled against him. Prince's mother was the daughter of Mahanama Sakya (Shakya) and my grandmother was a prince serfs. When her mother married Vidudabha, King Kosala not know that she is a child of serfs. It's time to grow up Vidudabha, kinship heard of Sakya (Shakya) said that they do get angry, decided to slaughter all Sakya (Shakya) to take revenge. Because Vidudabha, later King Kosala to die tragically in a house outside the city. At that time only one person entourage followed hedgers.
King Kosala died before the Buddha.
