PART I

3. HAPPINESS

T O heard something like this.

At one time, the Buddha in the mountain U-rama-scandal-La-day with the monks one thousand two hundred fifty people. Then there is the music of the price-price, while the empty night without people, the light illuminates the mountain U-rays-rays, go to the Buddha, head bowed Buddha feet and stand aside. The Buddha said:

"Last night Brahma heaven to heaven Dao-interest discussion with God. I was listening to myself, can now tell the Blessed?

Buddha replied:

"You want to say that."

Price-bid says:

"At one time, the gods of Dao-gao group in France to discuss. At that time four Heavenly King sat four directions in his direction. Uranus-Resurrection King sitting in the east, face west. Thich sitting in front. Monk-long-legally King sitting in the south, facing north; Thich sitting in front. King-long-ukraine King sat in the west, facing east; Thich sitting in front. Bhikkhu-king of Heaven sitting in the north, facing south; Thich sitting in front. After the Heavenly King sat down, I sat. There are also other great angels, all the people who have been practicing the Buddhist virtues, when the common destiny here, was born in heaven Dao-profit, causing the gods there to add the blessing year: Longevity heaven, beauty heaven, heavenly titles, music heaven and majesty heaven.

"Desire for the gods to increase, reduce the Asa."

"At that time, Thich De-Renn knowledge of the gods are happy, but because of the Dao-profit advantage that the proceedings that:

The gods Dao-benefit,

With the Thich of pleasure,

As a reverend,

Supreme Lord Buddha.

Gods blessings,

Feeling, identity, music, prestige.

According to the Buddhist virtue,

Should be born here.

Again there are celestial beings,

Bright color shining.

Disciple of wisdom Buddha,

Sanh this is beyond.

Dao-interests and Humanities,

Think that happy.

As a reverend,

Supreme Lord Buddha.

Devotees after listening to the verse, the more joy can not restrain:

"May the gods increase, they reduce the Asa."

Thích-Refunding see the gods Dao-happy happy rejoicing, and told them:

Does Hanh want to hear the eight Noble Tathagata? "

The gods replied:

"We want to hear."

Thich said:

Listen, think smart. Hey Hien, Tathagata, Chi Chan, Chanh Giac, full ten signs. We do not see anyone in the past, the future, the present has enough ten Tathagata, Chi Chan, the Chief Justice as Buddha.

"The Buddha Dharma miraculously, well preached, is the real mind. We do not see anyone in the past, the future, now has the dharma as the Buddha.

"Buddha by the law that self-enlightenment, communicated in peace, shelter in peace. We do not see anyone in the past, the future, the present can be in the same place that the self-enlightenment, communication freedom, self at peace as Buddha.

"HH! Buddha by the law that self-enlightenment can also reveal the road leading to Nirvana, close, gradually to enter the place of death. For example, the Ganges and the Diem River, both rivers flow into the sea. Buddha too. It is possible to declare the path leading to Nibbana, closer, gradually to the place of admission. We do not see anyone in the past, the future, the present can reveal the path to Nibbana is like Buddha.

"HH! Tathāgana attainment, including intellectuals, slaughter, Brahman, Layman, Sa-subject. We do not see anyone in the past, the future, the present is attached to the Buddha.

"HH! Tathagata mass achievements. It is monks, bhikkhuni, Uu-she-rules, Uu-she-di. We do not see anyone in the past, the future, the present accomplished mass like Buddha.

"HH! Spoken words and actions of the Tathagatas. To speak as well as to do, to do right, to attain and to practice. We do not see anyone in the past, the future, the present which the corresponding, the law is like Buddha.

"HH! Tathagata for the benefit of everyone, for peace of people; With compassion, He benefits the gods and mankind. We do not see anyone in the past, the future, the present for the benefit of everyone, for peace of people like Buddha.

Chu Hien, that is the eight dharmas of Tathagata. "

Then there is the Dao-profit say:

"Assuming that the world was created by the eight Buddhas, the time would increase many gods and reduce them to Asuna."

Another god says:

"Do not say the eight Buddha, although there are seven Buddha, six Buddha to two Buddha was born, also make more gods that reduce the adhere to them."

Thích Đề-Hoàn Nhan told heaven Dao-interest:

"We hear from the Buddha, directly from the Buddha, there can never be two Buddha once. But if a Tathagata who lives long lives, for the benefit of many, for the good of many, for the welfare of the gods and humanity, can increase the number of gods by reducing them. Tu-la. "

Then the price-plank Buddha:

"The Blessed One, the goddess-gatherings are gathering in France lecture hall, that is to discuss, think, negotiate, review the commandment issued. Then given to the Four Kings. Four heavenly king after life, each sitting in accordance with his place. Not long, there is a strange big light illuminating the four directions. The goddess-sight seeing that light is all scared: Now this strange light, is there anything weird? The great angels have great fear is also scared: Now this strange light, about to announce something strange?

At that time, the Great King instantiate the first pupil with five capes, standing in the middle of nowhere, above the mass, beautiful face crossed the crowd, purple body, obscured the gods light. Devotees do not rise up to welcome, nor revered, not invited to sit. When Pham learns to sit in the seat of any heaven, he is very happy. For example, the Emperor of the Order of the Slaughter, when the coronation ceremony, he was very excited.

"Sitting not long ago, the Great Territory itself transformed into a figurehead pupils with five domes, sitting in the middle of nowhere, above the masses, as an athlete sitting firmly on the seat, tapping motionless and chanting:

The gods Dao-benefit,

With the Thich of pleasure,

As a reverend,

Supreme Lord Buddha.

The gods blessing:

Feeling, identity, music, prestige.

According to the Buddhist virtue,

Should be born here.

Again there are celestial beings,

Bright color shining.

Disciple of wisdom Buddha,

Sanh this is beyond.

Dao-interests and Humanities,

Think that happy.

As a reverend,

Supreme Lord Buddha.

"Then the Dao Da-interest told the pupils: We heard the Noble Truth praised the eight Noble Truths of the Tathagata, all excited excitedly can not be restrained. Pham my son told the gods: What is the eight measures of the Tathagata? I also want to hear. Heavenly Thich told the son of the Eight Immortals of the Tathagata. The gods of interests listen again, multiply joyous exhilarating excitement: Expect the gods prosper, the A-mina reduction.

At that time, the deceased saw the gods happily excited again, told the gods Dao-profit: You want to hear a dharma? Dao-interest reply: Nice, we want to hear. The pupil says: Listen, I'll tell you. "

Hey gods Da-benefit! The former Tathagata, while he was a Bodhisattva, born anywhere is all intelligent mind.

In the old days, there was a king named Landlord, the king had a Prince named Compassion. The king of the famous Monk and his son Diem Man. The Prince of Compassion has friends and this friend often associates with six other great lords.

The king landlord whenever he wants to enter the palace, bring the national delegation to the great monarch. Then later in the chorus, pleasing with five.

The great monarch, when he wants to handle the national affairs, then before asking it, then decide. Or have to adjudge what is listening to your child. After all, the great monk General Ton. The landlord heard the news, sadly heartbroken, punched chest that lament that: Strange! Why not! Country lost payroll. Crown Prince thought quietly: King for the loss of Ton That harmony. Let us come to the king's custody; Why? Because the great spirit has a child named Diem Man is more intelligent than his father. Now the king can summon to hand over the national treatment.

Then the Prince of Compassion to the king to comment. The king listened and told Diem Man, saying, "Now I add thee to thy father's office, and give thee the sergeant. Diem Man took the general, when the king wanted to enter the palace, the national delivery to Diem Man.

Diem Man already know the treatment. Not only the things that he used to do Diem Man know, but the former thing he can not do Diem Man well know. Later Diem Man's name spread throughout the country, so people are all called honor Ton.

The Royal Regiment thought: Now the landlord, old age, living shortly. If now the crown prince is not very difficult. Perhaps we should come to speak with the six great gods: Now the landlord, old age old, living shortly. If now the crown prince is not very difficult. But you should also set up the territory. The day at the throne also do not forget each other.

Then the Grand Admiral went to the six great servants, saying, "You should know, now that the landlord is old and no longer alive, if the crown prince is not so difficult to crown. You should come to this with the Prince saying: We with you, know each other since childhood. He is suffering us, he is happy we are happy, now he is old and weak, so he does not live so long, so Prince wanted to join the king is not difficult. Assuming you are on the throne, please give us the land.

Then the six great Lords came to the Prince. Prince replies: Assuming that I ascended the throne, divided the land of the country, I have room for anyone else? Soon, the king died. The great god in the country to grandchildren prince, honors succession. At the throne, the new king thought: Now set up the Prime Minister should be the King. But who is worthy of that appointment? Must be the new Royal. The King of Compassion summoned the Minister of Religion: "I now appoint you to the position of the Minister and give the seal of honor. Attract nationalism. The Royal Sun obey the command, seized.

Whenever the king retreated into the palace, how many nationalities were entrusted to the Royal? The Venerable Thich thought to himself: I should now go to the six martyrs to ask if they remember the previous words. Wandering to say to the six great gods: Do you remember the words said before? The crown prince was crowned king, in secret in the bow, enjoy five. They should now come to the king to inquire: King in heaven, enjoy the five, so remember the words before?

Six listen to the words and then go to the king, the king in the sky, enjoy the five, so remember the words before? That: Cut the land of the village, who deserves it? The King said: Do not forget! In the past, we have said, divided the land of the village, not the khanh who can be.

Then he thought to himself: This land of Yin-su is in the narrow outside. Who is capable of dividing it into seven parts? Then think again: It must be the Royal Sun to do this. The King immediately summoned the Royal Regent to say, "Divide the land of Yin-sati in seven parts. When ordered, the Royal Canon immediately divided into seven parts. The citadel, the village, the kingdom ruled by the king in part. Six servicemen are divided into each division. The king said pleasingly: My aspiration satisfied. The six great servants of Satish also delighted in their aspirations. This work was thanks to the Royal.

The Six Slave kings again thought to themselves: Our country is newly established, it needs a general. But know who can handle it? If there is anyone like the Royal, I will make the national consensus.

The Six Slave Kings invited the Sun to say: Our country needs a minister. Let us for the communication, the country. All six countries gave generals for the Royal. Recognized Prime Minister honored finished, six kings back to the sex appeal. The Sun was always assigned to the nation and handled the affairs of all seven countries; All accomplished.

At the same time there are seven great laymen in the country, the Royal Sun also handle their housework. He was able to teach the seven Phrams to recite scriptures.

Seven monarchs see him as god. Seven great laypeople respect him as King. The seven Pham will respect him as Brahma. They all thought silently: The Reverend Tunisian met with the Brahma, conversing with Brahma. The Dai dynasty knew the idea of ​​seven kings, lay people and Pham Chi, saying: We often meet Brahma, talk and walk friendly with Brahma. But I have never seen Brahma, never talked to Brahma. I can not keep silent to receive praise. We also heard the bastards say: Who in the four summer months in the quiet place to practice four immeasurable mind Brahma will come down. Now we should cultivate Four immeasurable mind to be Brahma down to meet?

Then, the Seventh-day Prophet of the Seventh Sultan said, "Lord, look forward to the great king, I would like to four summer months tu four four countless mind. Seven kings say: Khanh know the time.

The Rector came to the seven laypeople: You take care of your own affairs. I want to four summer months, tu Four immeasurable. The lay people replied: Yes. He knew the time.

Speak to the seven hundred Phillips: You should diligently read and talk to each other. I want to four summer months, tu Four immeasurable. Pham Chi: Yes. Master knows the time.

Then the Sun in the East of that city built a funeral, in the four summer months, stay there where tu Four immeasurable. But Brahma still does not show down. The master thought quietly: I heard the former teachings said, tu Four innocent mind in four months will have the Brahma down, but now quietly no trace of anything.

On the full moon full moon, the Royal Sun from the net, to the vacant land, sitting, never suddenly strange light coming. The monk thought himself: Now that strange light is a sign that Brahma is coming down?

Immediately, he became a son of the first son with five domes, sitting in the air above him. The Royal Charter, after seeing it, said:

What is this,

In the middle of nowhere,

Bright in all four directions,

Like a burning firewood?

Pham Dinh responds with verse:

The celestial realms of the body

Know me Pham pupil.

Others tell us

Worshiped by the Fire God.

Reply with quote

Now I will ask;

Well teachingV teaching, very respectful.

Cleanse the epitaph,

May Heaven know my heart.

Pham said:

Now make this offer,

Well, what did you study?

What do you want?

I will give it to you.

Back to the Royal Warrant:

What do you want to ask arbitrarily? I will tell.

The Admiral thought to himself: Should we ask for the present? Or the future? Then think again: What does this present need? Let's ask u uncle. Toward the pupil Pham said:

I would ask Pham Dong,

Thanks to resolve the suspicion;

Study and practice,

Born to the Brahma?

Pham said:

Break my idea, people;

Monasticism, Tu Tam;

For education, without defecation,

Born to Brahma.

Reconstruction master finished listening to the verse, thinking: Pham is the theory that should be eliminated. I do not understand this. So ask more. Bèn say shelf:

Whispered speech,

Please clarify me,

Who opened the world,

Evil evil, not natural birth?

Pham my son responds with verse:

Liar and jealousy,

Emotional, increased romance

Lust, fairy, si

Emotionally filled,

Is a world of exclamation;

I tell you clearly.

It opens the world;

The evil is not born.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Master thought to himself: In the words of the pupil, I now understand the meaning of the word puncture. But at home it can not be ruled out. Should we give up our lives, renounce our beard, dress our clothes, pray? Then Pham learns his thoughts, then said verse:

If you are brave,

That's great;

Behavior is the position;

Death of all beings Brahma.

Then Pham's pupil suddenly disappeared.

At that time, the King returned and went to the seven kings, saying, "Sir, may the gods handle the cause of the nation? Now I intend to renounce, give up, dress up law practice. Why? I heard from Brahma about the disgust that hated. If at home it can not be eliminated. Seven monarchs thought: Brahmins often talk about, perhaps we should expand the treasure he needs at any discretion, not to leave home. Then came to the Minister to say: You want to use what we all do not need to go out. Ambassador Tôn replied: I was gifted king. I also have a lot of money. Please leave all offerings to the King. Please allow me to be a volunteer.

The seven kingdoms think: Brahmins are often beautiful, perhaps we can give women in a satisfactory manner, to avoid getting married. Then say to the Honorable Minister: If we need to give you all the ladies. No more ordination. The Admiral: I have been given a gift by the king. But in my house I have many women for all. I just wish to leave the love to leave the practice because I listen to Pham my son said the disgust that hated crush. If the house is not deductible.

Then the Royal Religious said to the king of compassion to hear:

Listen to me, King

King is the religious,

For financial, female

That is not a hobby.

The King of Compassion responds by saying:

Thanh-diem, Gia-lăng.

A-town, Bo-Air.

A-table, Dai-Thien.

Aged-old, Chiem-grandmother.

Number-di, slap into

West-momentum, Lo-long city

Ba la, Gia-thi.

All rights reserved.

How many lusts,

I will give it to you;

Let's look at the water

Do not leave home.

Mon Reply by verse:

I'm not short of sex.

Just do not hammer the world.

After listening to heaven,

No longer wanted at home.

The King of Compassion responds with the verse:

The Holy Prophet said,

To hear from Heaven,

Which abolished the five?

Asked, hoping to answer.

The Minister said:

Once in my absence,

Alone, self-reflection.

Then Pham prince came,

Radiant glow.

I heard from him;

No longer hammer the world.

King of Compassion says shelves:

Please wait, the Royal Sun!

To promote the French;

Then came home.

Khanh is my teacher.

For example, in vain,

Chastity, full of glasses;

Now we pure credit,

Full of Buddhism.

Then the Grand Master praised the practice:

Devas and people,

It should discharge the five;

Clean up the unclean,

Pure net practice.

Then the seven monarchs said to the Honorable Sun:

You should be deferred for seven years to enjoy the five pleasures together. Then we leave the water, handed over to the children, and left home. Is not it better? What you get, we also.

The Admiral replied: "The world of impermanence, the human network quickly, only in the breath is difficult to preserve. The seven kings say: "Seven years long, six years, five years ... or a year, we stay in the palace to enjoy the five desires. Then we leave the water, handed over to our children, join the family is not good or not? What you acquired, we also co.

"The world is impermanent, human life is fast, only in breath is difficult to preserve. So oil for a year is still long; Even seven months, or a month can not be. " The seven kings continued, "Seven days delayed." The Admiral replied: "Seven short days, can be postponed. May the king not wrong. More than seven days if the king is not ordained, I leave home alone. "

Then the Grand Master reverts to the seven laymen, telling them: Each of you take care of your own affairs. I want to go home, cultivating unconditioned. Why? I hear from Brahma, referring to the disgust that hated the heart. If at home, it is not deductible. "

The seven laypeople replied to the Honorable Ton: "It was good, that direction. Do what is appropriate. We also want to join the family. What he acquired, we should also. "

The Rector came to say to the seven hundred Pharisees:

You must diligently diligently search, find religious and teach each other. I want to become a monk. Why? I hear from Brahma speaks to the disgust that hated. If at home, can not be ruled out. "

Then seven hundred Pham Chi said to the Royal Religious:

-General, do not get ordained. Family life is happy, enjoy the five, there are many servants, the heart is not good suffering. The monk lives alone in the desert; Anything that is not available, nothing to grab anything. "

The Rector replied: "If we let go at home is happy, the monk is suffering, I must not go home. But I was at home is suffering, the family is happy, so I go home.

Pham Chi said: "Master monk, we are also monk. What do we do? "

The Regent said to his wives, "Now you have the option. Who wants to stay in. Who wants to come back. The ladies replied, "If you are still at home, the husband is just like our father." Now if we go home, we will ask for it. What do the Royal Sun do, we will also do.

After seven days, Donald shaved hair beard, wearing three forensics, leaving home away. At the same time, the seven kings, seven laypeople, seven hundred Pham Chi, forty women, also in turn ordained. At times up to eighty four thousand people, the same time according to the Royal Religious monk. The commonwealth of the common people through the water, the wide chemistry, beneficial to many people.

Then the Pharaoh told them: "You do not think the great monk was there at all. It is the precursor of the Buddha Sakyamuni today. At that time, after seven days, the monastic order, leading the mass travel of water, the broad generalization, benefit many people. If there is any doubt I say, you go to the Blessed One who is present in Kyushu-to-ask mountain. As the Buddha taught, try to remember.

Ban-cost-priceless Buddha:

"The Blessed One! Because of that reason you should come here today. Lord Buddha, the other Sun is that the Blessed one is not it? Blessed seven days passed the religious; Together with the seven monarchs, up to eighty-four thousand simultaneous emigrants, with them traveling the country, widely taught, benefiting many people? "

Ban-price-pot:

Who is that honor at that time? Do not think so. That's my body. At that time, the girls all over the country moving, moving, something dangerous, they take up the recitation: Nam Nam Royal Ton, the minister of seven kings. Male Model Royal, the prime minister of seven kings. Mindfulness to three times as such.

"Hey, the price!" At that time, the great monk had great virtue, but could not because the disciple said that the salvation is not able to cause the disciple to achieve the virtue, can not bring about the salvation peace. The dharma of the Sun said, if the disciples do practice, when the common body is only born to the Brahma. Those who practice more shall be born to the heavens. Second Birth of self, momentum, Diem-ma, Dao-benefit, Four divinities, or slaughter, Ba-la-subjects, lay home. Anything is fine.

"Hey, the price!" The disciples of the Sun are all monks are not lazy. There are retribution, there are teachers, but not the salvation, do not make disciples to achieve the goal of happiness, not bringing the student to complete security. The height of the other director to the Brahma is the same. Now my teachings teach disciples can make them soon the salvation, the salvation of virtue, save peace and finally into Nirvana. Our Dharma says, if the disciple who practiced the discharge of the illicit into the smuggled, in this life that self-realization mind liberation, insight liberation, birth and death has gone, Done, no longer regenerated. Those who practice more shall pass the five stages of samsara and can enter Nibbāna in heaven, not to return to this realm. Second, the third choreography, sex, anger, thin si, Only one birth in this realm will enter Nibbana. And the third is the three fetters, the result of the Complete-moment, no longer fall into the evil, so many times seven birth to this realm is certainly Nirvana.

"Hey, the price!" The disciples I do not become foolish, have retribution, have a religion, the right to save the right path, save the good life and finally into Nirvana.
