Buddha Shakyamuni 
36.

8th in the 28th in Jetavana (-562)

Venerable Ānanda and the girl named Prakriti [1]

The centers of study at Sàvatthi are preparing for the 28th detachment. This year the Buddha was 62 years old and his attendant Ananda was 43 years old. One day, Venerable Ñnanda, dressed in a robes, with his arms around his waist and legs, stepped forward with his eyes fixed on his gaze. Once you have received enough food, you will find a quiet place to stay. Feeling finished, he went to the well in the neighborhood to find drinking water. At that time, a young girl of the lower class (chandala) was coming to the well. Venerable Ānanda came to the well, stood, looked down to the ground, his hands hugged the bowl, he said calmly:

- Please give me some water to drink.

- White monks, I was under the low-caste (chandalas), I did not dare to come near him, afraid to defile him.

- Hey, I just want some water to drink to quench my thirst. Do not be afraid. I need water to drink, I do not know what class of water.

- I dare not! I do not dare to approach you. People know that I will be punished.

"My aunt, I am Ananda, my tutor is the omniscient Gotama, who teaches that anyone who can learn and practice the Dharma can become the omniscient one. So everyone is equal, should not classify. My teacher said:

"The same nail is not born,

"Not because of Brahmin's birth,

"Because we become nails,

"By acting we become Brahmins ."

I do not care about class. Do not be afraid, please give me some water.

Ms. Prakriti looked up to see if anyone could see, and she trembled solemnly, pouring water from the pot into the bowl of Venerable Ānanda, her heart starting to beat faster and faster. Venerable Ānanda lifted the bowl and took a sip of water, bowing to Miss Prakriti, and he turned back to Jetavana.

But Prakriti stood stubbornly looking at his heel. She remembered the gentle voice of his teacher, remember the beautiful shape, his solemn style. Oh! Never had she seen such a handsome, handsome man. "Please give me some water, please give me some water," his voice soft, gentle, inspirational like that? Why do not you have a little despair about a girl like you? That question mixed with the feeling of both light and fluttering lunatic she stood amazed half half of the province. Then she was like a lost soul, wandering back home.

Arriving home, she put the water down, and she sank to the ground, her eyes staring into the unknown place. Her mother saw that, anxiously asked:

- Prakriti, what are you doing? Are you uncomfortable in person? Let me beat the wind.

- "Please give me some water, please give me some water." Mommy ! I never heard a gentle, elegant voice like that! I never saw a person ... a man ... just beautiful, just as respectable!

- Does that person have the same class as us?

- Mom not. He shaved his head, I put on yellow, hands hug the bowl, beautiful, solemn, courteous, to please children to drink water.

- What the hell are you talking about? Is he a pro?

- Dear mother, he is Ananda, disciples of Gotama. He does not accept children of the chandala class. She asked me for some water to drink. He must have noticed me. Mother, I beg you, I can not live away from him. Please use all spells and spells, take full advantage of your mother's magical powers to bring Ananda to live with her. If that is not the case, I will die, I can not live, I die and no one will care for me!

- My dear mother, do you know? The king was a devout follower of Gotama Buddha, if the king knew it was hard for her to live. Moreover Gotama is a miracle full of miracles and divine powers, his mother's talents are unmatched.

- Mother, I do not know anymore. I only know for certain that without Ananda, I would die, I would not survive. Please mother love children.

In response to the urgent petition of the only daughter, Matangi ( Matador ), using dry cow dung, a fire in the yard. She sat down on the side of a fire with 108 stems of arka and began to recite the Sankhya Kapila spell, and occasionally she threw a spike into the fire, Ark.

Venerable Ānanda can not resist the intensity and intensity of Sankhya Kapila. He left the Jetavana monastery, forgot his ordination rules, and went straight to the house of the young chandala called Prakriti. Madam Matangi saw that the Ānanda Venerable was about to go home, telling her daughter to prepare a seat. As soon as Prakriti finished arranging, Ananda stepped into the house, sat down to the ready. He paid attention to Prakriti's charming smile and gesture, seemingly favoring her temptation. The sun slowly sinks under the horizon. Suddenly Ananda felt stifling, awkward, uncomfortable. He suddenly thought of the Buddha, prayed immediately:

- Blessed Sun, the master from the introspection, ask the Blessed One save me from this danger.

At that time, the Buddha was at Jetavana, a hunch that Ven. Ananda was suffering from sexual intercourse and was praying to him. The Buddha sat in the lotus seat, reading the mantra of the Sumbarama Mantra (Srama-mantra), entering the temple, lighting up the aura that illuminated the place where Mr. Ananda was in distress, breaking Sankhya Kapila.

Mr. Ananda suddenly recovered, he immediately stood up, repairing dress code, hugging the bowl out of the house, go quickly to the clinic.

Prakriti was in pain, but she decided to pursue her first love. Early the next morning, she prepared to dress decently with her most magnificent jewels, and then waited for Venerable Ñnanda on the way from the Jetavana monastery to the city of Sàvatthi. When the monk Ananda passed by to enter the alms round, Prakriti quietly followed behind him. Venerable ànnanda, not to go begging with a girl always follow behind, he turns back to the monastery. Ms. Prakriti continued to follow behind.

Through the gates of the monastery, she continued to follow. Venerable Ānanda went straight to the Buddha's am. I walked into the am. Miss Prakriti stood by the door. Venerable Ānanda narrates the story with the master. The Buddha calls her Prakriti. She walked in, her face bent down, bowed at the Buddha's feet and clasped her hands together. Buddha asked:

- Who are you? What do you come here for?

- Lord, Sun is Prakriti. I miss Mr. Ananda so I follow the teacher here. I can not live far away from Master Ananda, so wherever you go I follow you.

" Prakriti, please go home and ask for permission from your parents first.

- Lord, your father has lost a long time. My mother knew this, and because of love, she agreed to go with me.

" Prakriti, there are so many young people in Sàvatthi, why do you just love yourself?" Ananda was a monk who was ordained?

- Lord, I love Master Ñnanda with all my heart. You brought light to my life. Thanks to teachers that I no longer feel guilty of life despised when the field. Thanks to you, you can rise to live a life worth living. You are all my hope, all your dreams, the cool stream of my life. Lord, I can not live away from you, just as fish can not live far from water.

- Prakriti, if you want to live near Mr. Ñnanda, then you must do what Tathagata told me to do.

- Lord, I will do all that to live near master Ñnanda.

- Good, so come back and ask for permission for my mother to go home, get your hair down, and bring her here for the ceremony.

- That is not difficult. Lord, I now go home. This afternoon I will return to your mother.

Prakriti happily returned home, told the story, and asked her mother to give her hair. Her mother said:

- Prakriti, are you crazy? The daughter who shaved her head became ugly, lost all beauty, left home can not get married again. Do not you know? Why are you so stupid?

- Dear mother, I do not need to get married, I just want to live near Ananda only.

Mrs. Matangi thought to her, down her hair, and led her back to Jetavana, in honor of the Buddha. Buddha invited the mother and daughter Prakriti sit down, then said:

" Prakriti, are you back here to get ordained?"

- Buddha, right.

- I go home to be close to Mr. Ananda right?

- Yes. I love you very Ñnanda! I can not live away from you.

- What is Mr. Ananda doing to me so passionate?

- Lord, what of Mr. Ananda I also love all. The eyes, the nose, the mouth, the general, the voice, what the teacher also love all.

" Prakriti, all you see in Master Ānanda is just skin on the outside. You must know that every human being has hair, nails, teeth, skin, meat, bone, tendons, pus, blood, sweat, fat, tears, mucus, saliva, nasal decongestant, urine, All of that changed every hour, every minute, every second; Injuries or illness can occur at any time; Then it is time to grow old, ruined, dissolved. Man is just a skin bag filled with illness, old age, death, pride, conceit [3] . If for some reason the inside is exposed, such as a torn upside down pillow, there must be a person holding the standing tree to ward off the crows, the vultures, the dogs, Delegation of the floods to the tug of war to eat torn, so disgusting. Desiring passion is selfish desire that only brings suffering. You should know:

"Affectionate late melancholy,

"Fearful love birth.

"He has utterly cut off affection,

No more sorrow, no fear . (Dhammapada, vol. 213)

"From the beginning of the Ānanda trade up to now, only two days, I suffered a hundred pieces of suffering, loss of food, insomnia, lament, sigh, crying, moaning, sad sorrow. Now think again about Auntanda's body is something to be affectionately attached to it? Is what desperately desires desire? Is it worth the hug? All things in this life are like that. When we cling to it, it is decaying, decaying, decaying, disintegrating.

"Prakriti, just a monk, is a noble man, like ananda, abandoning all craving, greed, anger, ignorance, practicing the Dharma, emitting compassion, Help all beings, create true happiness for yourself and for those you love. Prakriti, if you want to live near Master Ñnanda, the only way is to live a good life as a teacher, to learn and practice the Dharma to know the beauty, the true beauty of the teacher. And you fold the appearance that you see in me.

" The Blessed One, your teachings are very clear and justified, have given you much comfort. Dear Buddha, allow me to be ordained.

- Good! Prakriti, like the rivers of Ganges, Yamunà, Sindu, Aciravatì, flows into the ocean and loses their origin. Any tribal, tribal who joins the church of the Tathagata are also the same mendicant. Prakriti, the water in the ocean has only one taste, that is the salty taste of salt. In the Satori Church there is only one taste, that is the peace of liberation.

Then the Buddha called:

- Come here, these nuns, live holy lives. [4]

Khemera gave Prakriti a robe. After embracing her, she followed her nun to the nunnery. Here she was comforted by the monks, using simple words to teach her about the Tri-ratana, the Four Noble Truths, the paths, the way of begging, and the rules of discipline. On her return she learned about the four majesty, standing, lying, sitting, and meditation practice. She diligently practiced diligently, later she was attained arahantship before Venerable Ānanda.

Or believe a chandala girl was ordained by the Buddhist Women's Nuns, the prolific people in Sàvatthi talk about. King Pasenadi visits the Buddha and inquires about this:

- Buddha, many notables in Savatthi said the woman was ordained as a contravention of the customs, traditional Brahmin from past to present. But for the Brahmana women, the Ksatriya line is acceptable. On the other hand, an outcast daughter (chandala) is an insult to the monks, which would pollute the clergy. How do you think?

" Grandpa, if a chandala is bathed in a stream of water reserved for the ksatriya, and if he knows how to brush his body. After bathing the person was clean white towel drying body and then spray perfume on himself. What do you think? Is the body of the chandala as fragrant as the ksatriya body?

- Well, if two people bathe in a river, the same brush the same, wipe the same dry, the same perfume, their body is equally fragrant.

- Yes, the Great King. If the ksatriya and the chandala live the noble life together and practice the noble Dhamma, they can awaken and attain liberation equally.

The Tathagata told the story of a great king: In the old days, there was a village called Chandala by the river Ganga. The village headman named Trisanku. He had an unusually beautiful son, Sardulakarna, who was familiar with the three Vedas. The father wishes his son to marry a beautiful and intelligent wife. He came to ask for a beautiful young girl named Prakriti, the son of a Brahmin named Puskarasasi, but he refused. Mr. Trisanku has repeatedly begged and pleaded repeatedly and showed that his son is as beautiful as anyone. Finally, Puskarasasi accepted and Prakriti was married to Sardulakarna. The great prince, Prakriti, was also Prakriti today; Sardulakarna is Awananda Bhikkhu now. The two have predestined relationships. And the chief of Trisanku is the Tathagata.

King Pasenadi and his attendants listened intently to the story of precursors, marveling at the karmic affair, not saying a word, bowing to the Buddha and the monks and quietly back and forth.

Buddha said business Surangama (Sramama)

After the nun Khema took Prakriti to the nunnery, Ananda went to pay homage at the feet of the Buddha, then he cried, suffering from the past so far only specialized in learning, but not real practice, New Sankhya Kapila, near the loss of the body, must be the Buddha to enter the capital Suriyama (Sùramgama Samadhi) lightning to rescue. I cry a while and said:

- Buddha, but blessed are the adjacent Exalted, heard and remembered most of what Bhagavan taught, but religion fledgling force, almost lost because the world can pay Kapila Sankhya arts. Please Bhagavan rejoice just teach the Dhamma far-ma-tha (Samantha [5] ), Tam-ma-topic (concentration [6] ), Zen-na (Jhana, dhyana [7] ) is the legal The Bodhisattva Bodhidharma teaches the sure and fast way of the ten directions of the Buddhas .

- Ānanda, you listen to much, remember many, but do not grasp the origin of the Sunnah and Bodhi Nirvana, even though he has been ordained for more than 20 years, only the Sotàpatti (Sotàpatti) . Please listen carefully:

" Where does the birth and death? It is because all living beings are sentient beings, thinking, thinking outside the body of their self (self) should suffer suffering birth and death.

" Where does the Bodhi (enlightenment) Nirvana (liberation)? Once the practitioner finishes his or her life of thought, thinking, thinking on the surface, Chon Tam, purity, clarity from time to time will manifest. Chon Tam that is the Bodhi, Nirvana, always peace, calm, clear, do not move, put on the scene to change the pitch.

Then the Buddha used a variety of means such as holding up his fist, to ring the bell, for only the Tanh see, Tanh is often heard. Not when there is a new fist, not when the new bell. No bell is not unheard, but rather "no bell". The blind man is not not seen, but is dark because two eyes no longer pass the light on; As well as the sight of the man with his eyes closed.

Six bases run in contact with the six ceiling born six consciousness. Six consciousness is consciousness, dependent on the six ceiling, the root of birth and death. Because the six births to kill change constantly .

Six not follow the six ceiling, then six consciousness is not born mind, Chon Heart Expressed Bodhi and Nirvana.

Those who wish to practice Bodhisattvas surplus to become Buddhists must meet two conditions as follows:

1.  At the beginning of the mind, you must  know that you have Chon Tam bar , usually, then use that mind to practice spiritual practice. Must be planted net bar, often new head has pure fruit, often cylindrical.

2-  At the hands of skilled laborers, must  practice the house to six bases are pure, not infected with six ceiling. Thanks to that, on the scene of liberation, self, fearless.

Speaking of this, the Buddha read the verse summarizing the newly announced chapter as follows:

Chon Tanh not naked,

Infinite, not born to die.

Predestination is not real,

Despair, like flowers.

Use depression to indicate your feet.

Vong, feet are all hope.

If not say sincerely,

How to know the legs?

Six not real,

Like three reeds.

Forcing open the original one [8] ,

Holy, no two ways.

Consider the nature of consciousness

No, neither no.

Ignorance is not,

Not being liberated.

Self-centered self-centered,

No illusory illusory.

Not accepting then not illusory,

No illusion is not born.

French illusions are not established,

Called Dieu Lien Hoa,

Bao Kim Kim Cang Vuong,

As Huyen Tam-ma-subject.

Bought hands free school.

This absolute magic

Of the ten Buddhas:

The only road to nirvana. [9]

As for the practice, the Buddha asked the 25 Bodhisattvas to clarify his method of practice and how to practice how to attain the holy result. Next, the Buddha told Manjusri to critique the disciplines and choose the most rewarding disciplines, suited to the nature of beings in this realm. He Manjushri chose  spiritual methods "Turkey Apartment Vienna" [10] of the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara.

Next, the Buddha preached about the  three volhynifiers [11] : 1 - Mindfulness into Gender, 2-Do Gender Precepts, 3- Dissertation. For celibate, first of all, must hold four major religions: lust, suah, dharma [12] , vow. [13] . Beings are heavy, difficult to keep the four worlds are pure, then the most heartbreaking care center Thu Lang Strictly . Buddha said:

- Ananda, as the teacher of her matangi is not new in this life. The teacher with her matangi has left grace gracefully, have sex gas sex, have spent many lives. When the Tathagata commits the Buddha's message, immediately the mind of her craving disappears; she becomes serene as Anàgàmin, liberated from samsara, and if The force of effort will soon rise to the level of no-learned Arahant (Arahant, Arahat, Arhat).

"Teachers, matangi is a woman who has not developed the spiritual but the spiritual power of the secret mantra to the uneducated, how much more the teacher. The teacher has launched the Supreme Highness, if the lord of this Buddha decides to become Buddha, such as spraying the wind blowing down the wind is not difficult .

The footman must diligently practice the following  three stores :

1- The storehouse of spiritual  discipline ends supporters : the good, not eat the new flavor (onions, chives, garlic, compress, palanquin), do not drink alcohol, do not use drugs.

2-  Store the practice of abolition of gender : Absolutely abstain from sex and suicide.

3-  store practice of finishing the career : Six pure bar, not infected with six ceiling.

Buddha said:

- Ānanda, who broadcast Bodhi mind, the Right Concentration, the full life  expectancy, not eating the new taste . Why ? Because of the five dishes, eat cooked, then hungry, eating live the yard . If you eat the new five, though speaking 12 mouths secretly can not achieve effective results. Devas can not stand the smell of fresh taste from the mouth, so they often alienate those who eat those five dishes. The ghosts, evil ghosts like the neoconus, or the occasional eaters, sniffing again, licking the lips licking. Consequently, the people who ate the new fivefold, lived with the devil daily, were mentally disturbed, blessed by virtue, often suffering miserable suffering.

"Ānanda, if you  practice without stripping and close, you can never be free from the three worlds of suffering . Religious practitioners must watch porn and be like poisonous snakes, like the enemy.

"Ānanda, when one cultivates the pinewood,  the mind does not move in accordance with the six ceilings, and returns to the self-consciousness as the essence . Tran has no predestination, the mind is not occupied, the effect of the base does not cause wrong actions. Such cross the national level (and worldwide) pure a stroke purity, body is gentle, the mind is serene, happily inexhaustible, ex prime unborn juridical,  achievements overweight Tue Address [14] (Sukla vidarasana bhumi). Then gradually progression, depending on the virtues of harmony that set the holy fruit.

Next, Buddha showed after overweight Tue Place also has  54 fruit Dominicans from low to high, including the Cross Trust, The, The, The Return Guide, Four Family Happiness and The Venue [15] , then The results of Enlightenment, Magic Enlightenment and Enlightenment is the fruit of the Buddha.

Venerable Ānanda and the saint heard the Buddha finished, extremely happy to see the Buddha taught the practice according to Bodhisattvas, from the first to the Buddha. What a wonderful teaching, unprecedented in the world. All the homage Buddha and medical education.END=NAM MO AMITABHA BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH GIAC TAM.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA PURELAND=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.14/5/2017.
