Hometown clock and his name Mahakasyapa
In India, not far from Rajgir, Magadha, Sa La Da village, a family of Brahmin family very rich, it's Lu Jie Ni Verse Three have comparable properties with King Bimbisara at that time. Mahakasyapa rich family living in this trench. His first name is La Da Na busy, because his mother venerable tree Every ride around the lower bowl being venerable, so get set for baby name tree. As an only child in the family, Mahakasyapa very loving parents, nurturing, she emulsion samples to 4, while Hold feeding, bathing, there are so many games. Mahakasyapa blessing full Minister, private intelligence, at the age of 8 have been learning literature, math facts, pageant, music, astronomy, physiognomy ... The Path Brahmans teach him also allow 4 seasons of sacrifice, Vedic scriptures, etc. .. With Human illustrate subjects, understanding Mahakasyapa are very fast.
Now grown up, Mahakasyapa different people of the same age. With pleasure in his life not keen, including fondling problem. Mahakasyapa often expressed disgust, impure, like crowds, in their own. Even parents, nor Mahakasyapa memorial, in the time away from home. So when should obey their parents are married, Mahakasyapa not share a bed with his wife's name Dieu Hien, a girl water color the sky none incense. Each person brings a particular mood, Dieu Hien wedding date until after more than ten years no one said a word to anyone. Silent too long can not be silent forever, Mahakasyapa Dieu Hien asked why the sad face always. Dieu Hien replied:
He ruined my aspiration, his wealth has mesmerized my parents, before I still prefer the virtues, hate sensual pleasures, so now what do strawberries this family was deeply saddened me!
Listen Dieu Hien's wish not left to their own desires, Mahakasyapa said:

Now let us continue to live by the virtues and though the couple we keep purity.
Until 12 years later, when the parents were to die, Mahakasyapa left home to find the master who, before leaving Mahakasyapa have promised to return guidelines when you find one.

30 years old, Mahakasyapa familiar farewell to the woods to find direction, it is time Shakyamuni Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. It was not until two years later Mahakasyapa hermit does not yet satisfy the desire to help, who initiated the rise of aggressive care physician every three. Great Kassapa Buddha and seek to know Rajgir, on his day according to the Bible we hear not a law that officially launched the Buddha, because the heart wants scrutiny. From the pulpit, the Buddha looked down and saw Mahakasyapa know who can inherit the professional direction of the Tathagata.
At the Linh Son, when Buddha put up a flower spike, Mahakasyapa smiled, knowing Buddha Dharma has inherited the favorite later. One day after the expiration of the Buddhist teachings take shortcuts Mahakasyapa welcome at a street intersection. On the way to meet Kassapa Buddha University official Buddhist worship listed, please be ordained directed further study. Through the meeting, he came back to the Buddhist Truc Lam Tinh Xa, where Lord Buddha brought from easy way, predestined Cross II, the venerable open market.

With over 10 conditions, he came to observe complete only 9 things, own things alms 5 venerable congregation does not follow, he came only to the poor alms before. According to his rich legacy has merit, we do not need to bring blessing to them, while the poor lack merit because we need to fill their mascot planting. In the Buddha's disciples who beg are contrary to His Mahakasyapa dyke, only to beg the rich. The venerable hear only the poor alms, the Buddha reprimanded and advised to give alms equality, discrimination abandon. With venerable Buddha advised not too austere, ascetic because Buddha is a radical left exhausted after being at Benares, with 5 brothers tu Kondanna. He has found a middle path, and achieve enlightenment status. With equal legal alms sometimes venerable compliance, the momentum started his own well kept until the last breath, nobody budge, so he was honored as Best Dipper goatskin. Stature influence of Venerable huge, dominating all others affected, such as the bright light of the sun light every other round, so he also translated Cuisine Quang.
Next level Dieu Hien
When the Buddha returned to Kapilavastu reformed the principalities of death. Venerable has gone by. To the teachings of equality, and also at the request of Ananda, the Buddha, Di Ma Ha Form Pajapati ordained Bold Move effect, the first woman in the congregation of the Buddha. Remove form of Buddhism found to be ordained, religious glad the author has opened the way to fulfill his tryst with time Dieu Hien from weightlifting to his royal family.
Waiting for 3 and 4 year Mahakasyapa not see returns, Dieu Hien dispersed assets, give alms to people and help the needy and to renounce follow heretics, naked figure in the Ganges river. Dieu Hien believed monk but because that beauty has to endure humiliation, he came by to pick up one of her nuns. When the nunnery to the charming beauty also because she still could not avoid the whispers busy places. Self-directed obstacles women see themselves very much now, Dieu Hien no longer out alms, do not expose the public to avoid crowded place. Appreciation of the situation Dieu Hien, daily more venerable parts divided by the rice and bring to Dieu Hien. Reclaiming do, have the curious nature of the non-living and jealousy between the two people make love longer. To avoid goofy voice, he came not share Dieu Hien rice for so long as well. Hien Dieu nuns also want to quickly get a slight female career save, not eat sleep day and night, is net tons of spiritual repentance now, the evidence is Additional network, the Buddha praised. Venerable Kassapa the Great was very happy with his life direction and both sides are done fullness, all concerns.
By Ms. Lao Poverty
With aspiration, fill the mascot for the poor as alms deficiency, often avoiding venerable houses wealthy, and stop before the poor shanty house. One day Rajgir alms to the Venerable saw an old woman lying sick beggar by the roadside moaned, he came closer and asked kindly visit:
· This old lady! why he was sick of her lies between land cover and only leaves the body? Land where the wind a little rain will make her illness worse, she had no homes at all-star offspring?
· If there were such things, I asked him where there is whining here. What do you have for me? Why do I see poor and he also seems to carry begging bowls go, I have nothing for him at all. So what He has allowed me to help all patients and all reasonable poverty?
· I am a Bhikkhu studying the doctrine of Buddha and is ascetic should also go as she pleased, but the rich go buy poor sales, poor sales for her to do to create more wealth to the rich blessings .
· Poverty is taking nothing for sale? last three days I have not had anything to put in the abdomen, early this morning someone went to pour the rice, I took inspiration was a peak, but the water had not dared to drink smell fear seminar.
· The water that she brought me a little alms, known as merit sown, hoping luck future, become rich.
Listen Venerable explains, her heart full of joy and forget the uncleanness of her body, she offered to bring fresh water to the venerable rice. You receive joy, and drink cool water near shallow rice. Seeing this old lady overjoyed, blessed he came to speak to her and left of goods.
Nan Give A Bowl
In Buddhist congregation, Venerable Kassapa University of dignity, how much to keep the army group often wrong Bhikkhu lost this much dignity. There is a Buddhist Vihara in Member States, the Army together monks collecting alms bowl contest. There are two types of institutions bowl, bowl by bowl with steel and porcelain. But when the production first opened shape is different, the material also has good things bad things, there are many colors. Water production Su Ma tin bowl, water bowl producer price advantage in red, water bowls produce price o ... black pants continent not worry Group meditation practice, day to day care of searching for a good bowl , brought exhibits to see, the radioactivity of the restaurants like pottery, porcelain. Knowing more storage bowls, Buddhist laws: balance bhikkhus commit bowl containing three land for any Ni.
Meanwhile Ananda Forum Vietnam is offering 4 bowls of water so your sprite sheet, which he offered to bring dishes for the Great Venerable Kassapa. At that time he came not at Sravasti, was traveled in the distance, holding the bowl legacy of transgression, not knowing how to handle, Ananda had brought the matter to the Buddha. Buddha asked:
· Ever Mahakasyapa returned?
· Revered sir! After about 10 days.
In the hours before the public lecture, Buddha praised the virtues of Mahakasyapa and advised the public to emulate, especially monks Army. Finally able to follow the status of Ananda presented to allow excess distilled bowl, Buddha revise and publish rules:
· The bhikkhus are allowed to take a leap in 10 days time.
Through events, Bhikkhu Buddhist precepts mechanism keeps balance bowls, we know the position and influence of the Great Venerable Kassapa very high for the congregation.
Buddha Successor
Seeing Mahakasyapa old respected director, Buddha and all the respectable congregation, Sariputta and Moggallana venerable required to participate on their activities, but refused because he came walking teachers had the clever intellect as Sariputta and Moggallana, Phu Lau Na, Ca fought. The venerable focused on the life of dignity, contentment sexual minorities, because it is also indirectly spread the teachings of Buddha. The venerable head full well keep the momentum, when he came to be in the jungle, meditation or meditating under a tree, bone white bar in the graveyard did manage weathered, weathered ... beard until old age haired, skinny venerable body has never slackened off. Seeing not bear to ask Venerable Buddhist living in remote provinces of Member States. Despite knowing that by worshiping reverently not there, but he came to see the group live, they must follow the general framework and had to stop practicing skin pain, more in deep forest place no inconvenience to anyone, when sown blessing for the other to enter into an alms when tired is not going to be left for the forest fruits vegetables, Life through the day. Practice virtues momentum had started strengthening the congregation directly, indirectly benefit sentient beings, strengthening Sangha is the Buddha inherited conditions. Venerable Buddhist please continue my path. Knowing inexorably be his intention, the Buddha taught that the direction of mass:
· Bhikkhus! Mahakasyapa always worried about money map dharma, meditation pagan abuse of power or authority can not destroy Dharma, cluttered affairs, corrupt Sangha lack of morals, is the main condition for Dharma destroy "identical in eating lion lion." So if the Sangha is strengthened, restraint, harmony stable internal situation inevitably Dharma is eternal. To strengthen the Sangha, activities must strictly respect the rule must be preserved and the direction our discipline was there. The host can label Dharma heir of the organ must be Mahakasyapa, it has become clear that even at Linh Son opportunity, when we put up lotus flower, Mahakasyapa immediately smiled.
Scripture compiler
True heir to carry the network circuit of the Tathagata, after Buddha attained Nirvana 7 days, Venerable Kassapa immediately convene the General Conference compiler classics during 3 months. Monastery of the congregation spacious lot, but most places are not entirely pure, neighboring monks not really effect them into sexual isolation. The venerable scrutiny that only the deserving new fan exhaust is where classic compiler. That is where u President, spacious, bare landscape drainage. The venerable 500 summoned the results showed Arhat, private Ananda Buddha always close to multiculturalism, of all the Buddha's teachings, but the evidence is not there to Sainthood 6 crime. In order to maintain dharma and the long term, the activities of the congregation to majestic, the other can not be mistakes, Venerable Ananda Mahakasyapa forced to repent before 6 mass crimes, no longer matters Sainthood evidence, Ananda Mahakasyapa forced out to work, quiet place for practice time arahantahood them go back to. Small and simple, only retreat in the short term, instant Ananda attained Arhat.
When the Venerable Ananda returned to the caves, the official compiler of the classic start. Audience unanimously nominated General Venerable Kassapa presided.
· Three Glass said his priority maintenance Vinaya.
· Ananda said lead Tripitaka.
· You Phu Lau Na maintain organ thesis statement.
Foreign households powerful compiler for the classic is king Asajatu.
Mahakasyapa Enter Nirvana
In the Buddha's disciples, Sariputra and Moggallana him before Buddha's Nirvana, Nirvana after Venerable Kassapa Buddha. After the compiler of the scriptures in the exhaust fan, about two or three decades later, the body feels weak old, tired has on hundred years old, decided Mahakasyapa Nirvana. Where to find the venerable Ananda's traveled to various organs French officials, demanding Ananda continued mission to spread the dharma heir, and not heavy tired, 8 venerable Shariputra stupa worship offerings. Then he returned to weightlifting from Rajgir Asajatu King, but the King is asleep at the meeting thought, not for the military so he came to the palace. Leaving venerable Rajgir Buddha's robe and bowl to bring continuity to the mountains, sitting in samadhi and nirvana, where Rajgir ways around 8 miles southwest. Listen to Venerable Kassapa was Nirvana University, King Asajatu very tragic! The king immediately to notify Ananda and asked the king to worship the mountain offered successors. Although Venerable Kassapa University has entered Nirvana, but the moral influence life, the virtues of the venerable remains timeless ...
Cognitive and Conclusion
With the permission alms, the Buddha taught to accept equality unbiased, regardless, but Venerable Kassapa just begging poor, while his alms Phu Lau Na is rich, so both Him Buddha was reprimanded. However, according to the Venerable Kassapa poor is miserable, rambling considerable consolation from the notion that, regardless of the behavior of a small gesture venerable denotes very compassionate ethics take. Therefore, the increase or continue, everyone respected venerable, gentle aura of venerable in turn influence others. Therefore his name was translated Cuisine Quang (light drinking).
According to Mahayana Buddhism after Buddha attained Nirvana, Mahakasyapa was honored as the first Patriarch, Theravada Buddhists while honoring his advantage to three reasons. Because the perspective of two major sects have different disasters, should attend worship their masters course is different. It is also one of the two sects of Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism in favor of meditation, especially on transmission of foreign teachers, not only the mind set texts peace of mind, so put the past indicates Buddha lotus, smiling Mahakasyapa immediately (the only major listed compensation flower Minor ), so he is enshrined Su. In science there is a hymn of blessing has spread implies that as follows:
· Posting just flower enlightened, organized religion renaissance profile, Burma interior ministry held their feet, sensing transmission continent publish, translate relative excess chlorophyll eternal dharma bone league.
Seeing flowers immediately realized, the first nest, constantly preached four feet seven surpluses for six lamp life, tree leaves connected together, always in vogue Dharma).
Theravada Buddhist meditation mostly, the court excluded afflictions, but aiming to liberate key individuals ... Want to keep freed essential precepts, the word discipline means special award escape, Buddhist ethical because he wanted to free rebirth for all beings. Now about to enter Nirvana Buddha, Ananda asked the Buddha:
· After Exalted Nirvana do we know who took him. Buddha said: "Taking as his teacher discipline, discipline was also the director." Ms. Li is the location advantage First Act, for the purpose of maintaining network Buddha long circuit, and also towards the horizon of liberation, should Theravada Buddhist worship Him Three Glass Pros do their masters.
Overall lifetime venerable Mahakasyapa always guide moral conduct is the least sexual contentment, inner life, behavior and, in a word eat voices practices framework. So look at other people seem to see the negative, passive, weak ... but in life there are those who forced themselves in ethical framework, lo cultivate virtue. The whirring, active participants and the lure of social life can be easily done. The positive eradicate bad habits in every man's self is hard perform. Winners is easy, winning is hard mines. Venerable Kassapa the Great always towards self win, so he came to become an exemplary man in the congregation. Virtues of the Venerable has a very wide scope of influence. Buddha has partiality as you see venerable, once seated Buddha has made half court for the venerable teachings. Thanks virtue momentum after early venerable Buddhist Nirvana was crowned congregation worships in the compiler manually romantic experience at first exhaust fan. Today religion to maintain benefit sentient beings, Bhikkhus we follow the example of the Great Venerable Kassapa, to improve moral conduct in life. The moral status always respected, not vice versa as strong ethical matter where rich, life is finally excreted.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.1/6/2014.NAM MO SAKYA MUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
