3 - The Great Thieves
1- Sàriputta (Wisdom), the first wisdom.
He Sariputta [1] , the smaller Buddha few years old, born in the village of Upatissa (Nalaka), Nalanda district, the name father Vanganta [2] , mother Rupa name Sari. At the time of his pregnancy, Ms. Sari suddenly became great intelligence, teaching and teaching the Vedas very well, more than her husband Vangantà and he is Dghanakha. Sariputta has three daughters, Cala, Upacala and Sisupacala, and three younger brothers, Cunda, Upasena and Revata. All three later brothers were ordained and attained Arahant [3] .
According to Xa-Loi Muc-Nhan Duyen in the Buddhist scriptures Sutra 48 , from early childhood Sàriputta had a good-looking body, growing up learning the industry, understanding the four Vedas. At the age of sixteen, he discussed dressing up others, all of them in line. He became a celebrity in the village and was nicknamed Upatissa. He made good friends with Moggallana in the neighboring Kolita village. One day, they came together to attend a solemn sacrifice ceremony in rajagaha, see people have fun mixed, suddenly thought a hundred years later all the people who are present today are dead and the scene today will be complete. All other changes (life impermanent), two friends come together to find teachers. After questioning the contemporary masters, Sariputta and Moggallana came to Sanjaya, One of the six pagans. In just seven days, the two of them had mastered the teachings of the teacher, and were given the position of teacher, who could substitute teachers to teach their fellow students. But Sariputta and Moggallana were not satisfied, they separated from each other and went to find the priest, Sariputta went south, Moggallana went to the north.
Soon, Sariputta was walking in rajagaha, whereupon Assaji was begging for alms. Seeing the great virtue Assaji looks elegant, generous to go to court, he asked:
- The false white glass, his ministry is pure and pure. Could you please tell me why you escaped secularism? Who is your teacher? Who do you spread the teachings?
Venerable Assaji replied that he was a monk who was not able to explain the Dharma fully and clearly to the Dharma.
- The false white glass, the child is Sariputta in Upatissa village, respectfully ask the author of a little more education, I will try to find out what part or section. Please teach me some essential points, summing up some of the important teachings that you have learned.
- Gotama tutor teaches a lot, but only increases in the following four verses. So prolific read to the reader:
Ye dhamma hetuppabhava
Tesam hetum tathagato
Aha tesan ca yo nirodho
Evam vadi mahà samano.
Meaning:
The dharmas are due to conditions.
Tathagata has clearly explained the causes and conditions
And the only way to end the dharma.
The great monk teaches like that. [4]
These four verses have just summed up the causal relationship of the arising and passing away of the dharmas and the practice of liberation (ending the dharmas). Mr. Saratipta, who was very smart, had heard the first two words of enlightenment and attained Sotàpatti. From then on, to show gratitude to Assaji Venerable, whenever he heard the Assaji wherever he was, Sariputta turned in his direction and bowed his head, and always turned his head to sleep.
As committed, Sariputta went to Moggallàna to announce the message and reread four verses. After listening, Mr. Moggallana also achieved the results of Tu-momentum. They went to their former teacher, Guru Sanjaya Belatthiputta, and invited him to come to life with the Buddha. Master Sanjaya refuses, but there are 155 of his disciples, accompanied by Sariputta and Moggallana, who come to Gecko Forest to apply their teachings to the Buddha. A week later, thanks to the Buddha taught the Fourth, Mahad Moggallana attained Arahantship. By the second week, when the Buddha taught the Vedanà Pariggaha to the Dìghanakha, Venerable Sariputta attained Arahantship. That afternoon, the Buddha summoned all the disciples around him to enthrone Venerable Sariputta as the first disciple, the most intelligent.
As a rule of Twelve Du , after renunciation, Sariputta often follow the Buddha, help him in teaching, organization and administration of the Church. He is often praised and trusted by the Buddha. He was the key person in leading the layman Sudattà to establish Jetavana from beginning to end. When Devadatta established his own Church in Gayàsìsa, it was Sariputta and Moggallana who came to the place of sermon and advised the masters to return to the Buddha. It is the great virtue of Sariputta who teaches the Buddha's sublime dharma (Abhidhamma), so that the masters can be easily understood.
In -545, Venerable Sariputta visited Upatissa village and visited her mother seriously and took care of her until she died. With the presence of relatives and residents in the village, the Siddhartha preached to them. Everyone listened attentively because the Venerable Master said very well. Dharma talked about life is impermanent and full of suffering as well as mental, Dharma is the only way that can lead people out of the sea of birth and death to pure nirvana. After the Dharma, the Venerable took refuge in the Three Jewels for nearly ten people. Then that night the Venerable sat seated in the lotus posture. Early the next morning, the attendant Cunda learned that the Venerable Sariputta had died perhaps in the middle of the night, in the room where the Venerable was born. Previously, the Venerable said that he wanted to exterminate before the Buddha, Then instruct Cunda to bring the bowl and relics of the Venerable Master to the Buddha and ask him to accompany him. The bowl and relics of Venerable Sariputta were invited by the king of Kosala to Sàvatthi and built in the temple at Jetavana. In addition, Upatissa and Buddhists built a giant brick tower at the Nalanda University.
According to the Lotus Sutra, the Buddha had signed the Sàriputta to become the Buddha Padmaprabha, in the world of Viradja, in the Mahà ratana vyuha kalpa.

One day, they came together to attend a solemn sacrifice ceremony in rajagaha, see people mixed play, suddenly thought of life impermanent, two friends come together to find teacher teachers. But his parents did not allow him to leave the family. He went on hunger strike for several days. His parents did not want him. The two Moggallana and Sariputta went to each other to hear the six foreign teachers preach the Dharma, the last two he came to seek education with the teacher Sanjaya. In just seven days, the two of them mastered the teachings of the teacher, and were assigned to the teacher, Can replace teachers to teach your fellow students. But Sariputta and Moggallana were not satisfied, they separated from each other and went to find the priest, Sariputta went south, Moggallana went to the north. Soon, Sariputta met the great Assaji at Rajagaha, and was read by the great Assaji to hear the four verses of the Buddha on impermanence and liberation. After he finished listening, Mr. Sariputta immediately attained the results. When Sariputta met Mr. Moggallana and reread the four verses, Moggallana also attained the result. They went to see Master Sanjaya to announce the news and invited the guru to come to life with the Buddha, but Sanjaya refused. At that time, Sanjaya's disciples were accompanied by two saints, Sariputta and Moggallana, to seek ordination with the Buddha at Gecko Forest, 2 km to the south-west of Ragaraha. Only a week after his ordination, Moggallana attained Arahantship when practicing the Four Salsa practices taught by the Buddha.
Venerable Moggallàna was very diligent meditating in the desert, so soon become the most disciple of the Buddha.

He immediately taught the Buddha how to save his mother from suffering hunger ghost. The Buddha taught how to set a solemn ceremony on the eve of the self-ruling, called the ceremony of Vu Lan Bao Hieu. Venerable Moggallàna listen to the Buddha's teachings, the Vu Lan ceremony offerings. Thanks to the earnestness of the Venerable Master, and the vigil of the pure monks present and the ten buddhas, Moggali, the mother of Venerable Moggallana, Tanh ignorance, get rid of the demon, born in heaven,

As soon as he was born, all the furniture in the house suddenly disappeared, three days later he came back as before, so the boy was named Subhùti, meaning Unborn. General told that it is a good omen for the future boy, so the family also called him Thien Cat.
Childhood Subhùti is often given to the poor, sometimes off the shirt for always. Parents advised not to keep Subhùti always indoors, not to play out. Subhùti was not sad, and liked reading books on philosophy and religion. Subhùti often proudly told his parents:
- All the laundering in the universe is clear in my heart, my mind is empty void roasted nothing.
By the time the Buddha had just established Jetavana in Sàvatthi, his parents came to Refuge with Buddha. One day his father said:
- Subhùti, I usually give myself the wisdom, understanding the truth, the universe, human life. But compared to the Buddha, the child lost a lot. The Buddha not only great wisdom, but also great powers, great compassion. Since he came to Sàvatthi, officials, prodigies, people and people came to him with great refuge. I intend to visit the Buddha to give home to give him the opportunity to learn more.
Subhùti hangs up with the Buddha, so he sneaks to Jetavana that afternoon to see who the Buddha is. Arriving, Subhùti sees the Buddha sitting on the high sermon, dignified body, warm voice, clear, loud, before thousands of listen quietly listening. The Buddha said the conclusion of the method as follows:
- Hey man, the world is full of suffering because of war, death, robbery, killing each other, is because delusional beings. Everything is impermanent, not self, but it is normal, is self. The pleasure in life is the cause of suffering that is happy. Therefore suffering torment without a way out. You should be strong in diligence to understand that all beings are in the same nature, until the scene of peaceful nirvana, pure, often will appear to you.
Although he only heard the ending, Subhùti was very touched and wished to learn the Wisdom Tip soon, he approached the Buddha before the Buddha asked him to become a disciple. The Buddha gladly accepted.
Venerable Subhùti, who was poor and heavy, did not understand the sublime teachings, so he went to beg for food in the rich. Mahà Kassapa, on the other hand, goes to beg for food in the poor, for he wants to give them the opportunity to do good deeds to make good karma for the next life. When the Buddha learned, they rebuked the two without equality, and advised the mendicants to practice equality by begging in the order of each house, regardless of rich and poor.

The Blessed One, the student is Uppalavannà, the first to congratulate the Blessed One, the Exalted Proof.
The Buddha said with a smile:
- Uppalavannà, the receptionist Tathagata first is not a nun.
Uppalavannam asked curiously:
- Lord, who is it?
The Buddha looked at the disciples, calmly said:
Thank you, the mendicants have come here to welcome Tathagata, but the person who met Tathagata first is Subhùti. Subhùti is currently observing the emptiness of the dharmas and practicing the mindlessness in a mountain cave in Griddhakùta, thus the new teacher sees the Buddha first.
In the Lotus Sutra, Lord Buddha had the venerable Ven. Subhùti, who later became the Sakyamuni Buddha, the Ratana Sambhava, and the Ratana Vabhasa.

When the Venerable arrived at Venuvana in Ragagaha, the practice was over. After reading the Tripitaka again, the Law, just as it was written, Venerable Punna Mantaini commented:
- Brothers, these Dhammas are such a precious thing to be admired by all. On the whole content, I have no further comments. But about the Vinaya, I find that there are eight prohibitions on eating that are not in line with the Buddha's will, and may interfere with the operation of the sangha in a monastery. As forbidding food, banning food from other places, banning the consumption of fruits, banning the production of food made from lakes and ponds ... Meeting the poor, hungry, begging Without food, the Buddha allowed these eight things.
"Yes," the Mahā Kassapa said, but the Blessed One allowed only eight of them in very special circumstances.

They took off the string of beads and gold rings of silver wrapped in a shirt. When they arrived in a small village, they met a poor barber shop. The hairdresser is a young man of their own age, whose face is handsome but ragged. Anuruddha went to the shop asking for directions to Anupiya city.
Upàli took the princes across the border of Malla, directions to Anupiya, and greeted the princes to return. Anuruddha thanked Upàli and gave Upàli a gown full of jewels in it. He said:
- Upàli, we want to follow the Buddhist monk. We do not need these precious jewelery anymore. We donate to you. Each of these jewelry gold enough to live happily ever after.
The princes departed from Upāli and set off. The barber opens the shirt. Gold jewel made him flash his eyes. I do not believe this is true. Suddenly he felt nervous, he felt lost daily peace and quiet. I'm afraid the lovers will kill you to rob. I fear the officer knows that he will be the thief. Upàli think. He saw the rich so rich, so powerful that he left all left to go home, then the monk must have something more precious than rich to fame. He suddenly thought to throw away the treasure package to follow the prince. He hung the treasure pack on a nearby tree, telling the first person who saw the treasure. Then he hurried to pursue the prince.
The crowds were surprised to see Upàli running after him. Devadatta asks:
- Upàli, what do you run after us? Where are you wrapping your jewels?
He gasped, then told the story. He said he hung up the treasure package on a branch, because when he picked up the treasure package he felt fear for nature, heart unsafe. He asked his sons to allow him to accompany him to Anupiya for ordination with the Buddha. Devadatta laughed:
- You want to go out as we do?
But Anuruddha and Bhaddiya immediately agreed:
- That's good, let's go. There he led the way as easy for us.
The Buddha and the Sangha are residing in a mango orchard two kilometers southeast of Anupiya near the Anom River. Seven people seek to see the Buddha. Bhaddiya on behalf of the whole group presented to the Buddha their wish to be ordained. Buddha silent approval. Bhaddiya continued,
- Lord, we beg for Upàli to be ordained before. So we have to consider Upàli as a brother to eliminate the stigma of discrimination in our hearts.
The Buddha praised the seven, then gave Upàli first, after the six princes. Ānanda was only 18 years of age, but was ordained only by novice monks [15] and learned almsgiving. At the age of 20, Ānanda was ordained as a monk.

9. Rahula [16] (Rahula), the first secret.
Rahula, born in 1952 in Kapilavatthu, Sanya, is the father of Prince Siddhattha, 29, the mother of Princess Yasodharà, the same age as his father. The word "Rahula" means "condemnation and bondage". The Sun states that Rahula was born when Rahulasur-Ràja covered his face with a moon; Rahula was in her mother's womb for six years, so she was named "Pho Chua" (condemned and bound).
After giving birth to Rahula 7 days, Suddhodana King named grandchildren solemnly. By midnight, everyone was tired to sleep, Prince Siddhattha good opportunity with Channa (Khan) on horses Kanthaka (Kien Trac) surpassed the monk.
In -588, when Lord Buddha returned to Kapilavatthu for the first time after his enlightenment, Rāhula requested ordination, at which time he was only 7 years old. The Buddha told the virtuous Sariputta to instruct the enlightened and virtuous Moggallana to be the A-SIU, then gave Rahula as the novice nun, the first novice, to chase the crow to keep quiet in the hour. Mentors meditate.
In -581, at Raja Badarikà, Rahula was 15 years old, one day after getting up early to sweep out a large garden, returning home am I was assigned by his master to another mourner. . Rahul stood still bewildered when a heavy rain came, he had to run to the toilet to sit down rain. Although he did not blame anyone, he kept the patience and gentleness of the people. (View of the Law, Analysis of Bhikkhus 2: 290)
In -579, Rahula was 17 years old, begging for merit at Sariputta in Ragga (Rajagaha), suddenly a scoundrel came to remove the sand from the bowl of Sariputta teacher and took a stick on Rahula's head to bleed . Master Sariputta comforted:
- Rahula, if it is true that the Buddha disciples must have patience, in the heart never start anger, should compassion mercy beings confused. The Blessed One often teaches us, when we are praised, not to be arrogant, to be humiliated, not to be resentful. Rahula, should temper the anger with patience and compassion to increase morality.
Rahula remained calm, went to a house on the side of the road asking for water to wash the wound and requested some cloth to bandage, then he said:
- White teacher, in this world so many evil delusions. Where to find all the things that are boring. The Blessed One teaches us to have great compassion for them, to put on the humiliation of humiliating us. The mendicants keep the patience to increase the virtue, the rascals scorned, the reverence to respect the aggressors more cruel than them. Although the Buddha taught the truth of compassion for patience, they also considered the foul like dead body. For those who are not aggressive, it is not beneficial to speak the Dharma to them.
The Buddha taught the novice Rahula very seriously, especially when he did something illegal. When he grew up, great virtue Rāhula strict discipline is very thoughtful, is praised as the most virtuous disciples. He passed away in front of the Buddha, about 48 years old, with the relics of Jetavana (No. 12).
According to the Lotus Sutra, the Buddha said that thanks to previous volunteering, Rahula was born as the son of the Bodhisattva King, until Bodhisattva became Buddha, Rahula became Buddha. Not only in this life, but in many future lives, Rahula will always be the eldest son of the Buddhas to receive the Dharma, until he becomes the Buddha himself as Saptaratana Padmavikramin ).
