Buddha's win over fierce murderer Angulimala in lowering the twentieth. As a child he Ahimsaka name (the innocent). His father was a minister of the king of Kosala country. He was educated at Taxila, a famous educational center in ancient times, and became a prominent disciple and confidante of a very famous teacher. Unfortunately, so that your friends envy him bouncing birth, Siamese and disparaging statement of what success poisoned his thoughts. He believed, get angry, and could not think of failure or scrutiny, Ahimsaka attempt upon by this he commanded to bring a thousand finger, index finger on his right hand, his rise to Catholic ordination.
Although not funny, wry Ahimsaka obey him, go into the woods Jalini, in Kosala, and began a long series of heinous murder, to cut his finger. Initially he pierced the string fingers, hanging on a tree. But as vultures and crows to eat so he wears around his neck like a corolla made of the fingers, keep from being lost and saved for the requisite number. Hence the name "Angulimala", which means "corolla of fingers."
Sutras to spend record that when he was nine hundred and ninety-nine fingers, the Buddha appeared. Seeing the Buddha, Angulimala glad, and think that this is a chance to complete his mission.
He then walked straight to the Buddha, hand and drew his sword from its sheath.
Buddha mystically create obstacles for Angulimala do not keep chasing, chasing his best oil. Very tired, sweating profusely, he stopped and called out: "Stop, he recluses."
Exalted softly replied:
"Although it goes Tathagata, the Tathagata has stopped. Offspring, Angulimala, be stopped."
The murderer thought: "The monk is always telling the truth. This person said that he had stopped, but we did not stop. So how is that?"
Angulimala asked further: "Hey Mr. Samana. Mr. goes, I myself have stopped. Said that he did not stop there he then stopped. Xin asked this Mr. Samana, his words mean anything? "
Buddha replied softly: "Yes, Angulimala, the Tathagata has stopped, stop always, forever. Tathagata has refused, to let go, not assault or injure a sentient object. As the child not retained bloody hands, still killing fellow. therefore, the Tathagata has stopped, and you were still continuing. "
Come on Angulimala good now quickly surfaced. He thought that this monk is not sure anyone other than the Gotama Buddha (Gautama), optical Forest came here because of compassion, his want of health. Think so, he immediately throw away all weapons, then approached the Buddha, pay homage to him and go for refuge. The next Buddha to accept him into the Noble Sangha by uttering the words: "Ehi Bhikkhu!" "Come Bhikkhu!"
Angulimala Information ordained Bhikkhu Buddha is spread out over all the land. Particularly King Kosala feel lighter as how to escape, because Angulimala was indeed a catastrophe for the people of the land.
But the heart of Angulimala monks remain calm because he always remembered his past sins and wailing cries of the victims. Chi to meditation time alone in a deserted place and not forget. One day, while walking for alms in the street, he was the one used batons to beat and kicked her fighting, to go to the temple with full head and neck injuries, bleeding of miles, battered torso place where being cut off, a Buddha opportunity to reiterate that it is immoral consequences of his violent behavior in the past.
One day, while going bowl, Angulimala Bhikkhu saw a woman going into labor, struggling, groaning roadside. Active compassion, he took her painful story with Buddha transparency. The Buddha advised him go back, read the following affirmation - these sentences are handed down to us still today under the title Angulimala paritta:
"This Organic Act, the date of birth in the Holy nation (ie from the day I left home), I have never deliberately destroy the life of an organism. Due to this word of truth, her desire to be round and square her son safe and sound. "
He memorized Angulimala Sutta, then go to the place, a woman sitting curtain, read. The birth mother is suffering consecutive easily. To date texts paritta still effective.
Later, at the right time, Venerable Angulimala attained Arhat. When it comes to the way he touched the Buddha, Venerable Angulimala said:
"These creatures were overcome by force,
By hook or rod.
But I;
tamed by a character
No need to clubs,
do not use swords.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.26/3/2014.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
