- Sir Gotama, I heard this "no reverence Gotama recluses for the elderly Brahmin, old, prestigious, does not stand up to greet, not sit; That is not appropriate. " Is that true?

- Brahmin, the Tathagata does not see anyone in the world or in the heavens that Tathagatas can express respect, because if Tathagatus do so then his head will be shattered.

- Hey Brahmin, beings live in ignorance such as chicken is in the egg, were hooded again. Tathagata is the only one who broke the shell of ignorance and attained enlightenment in the Supreme Court. So the Tathagata is the head and the highest of the world thanks to the diligent efforts to attain the Eighth Noble Truth; Lucid separation of the law, the happy birth, attainment and  meditation first , have a range; Stop the game and quartet, internal static one, heart-happy joy, attainment and second stay  meditation ; Cup of peaceful discharge, discharge of meditation, attainment and  meditation third ; Discharge of suffering, the glass of happiness has feelings before, with mental clarity of calm, attainment and  meditation fourth ; Then with calm mind, pure, without delusion, not afflictions, ease of use, radial to Additional Intelligent Network ,  Eye intelligent and  long lasting invention . Thus Tathagatas eradicate ignorance and make intelligent birth, as the chickens break the eggshell to escape the light. Tathagata himself knows what to do is done, will not be reborn again.

- Sir Gotama, he is the One result Bhagavan, Supreme Career, Career wise leadership. I beg you to accept me as a lay disciple from now until the rest of my life, and I beg you and the saint to enter this year in my mango garden, and I will provide all necessary supplies.

The Buddha approved by silence. But Agnidatta is often busy with business, rarely at home. Meanwhile famine took place in Veranjà, during the retreat.

The mendicants lamented each other as food is getting increasingly rare. There are many masters go begging for empty bowl. You have to sit together to share the beggars. People say that this year's crop is out of harvest, the stockpile of the local government is running low, the government must issue food aid cards to the people. People do not have enough food to do what they have to offer. The number of 500 mendicant masters is too large for the population of the village.

Moggallana suggested moving to the village of Uttarakuru in the south to continue settling there, as there was no hunger there. Give newspaper :

- Do not do that, Moggallana. Is it hunger alone? All the villagers are hungry, except for the rich. If we go out of hunger and do not share difficulties, how can we understand the suffering of the people here? This Moggallana, we should stay here until the end of the season.

One day, after begging, Venerable Ānanda entered the house and borrowed a mortar and poured barley in the bowl to go back and forth in the mortar several times and then poured into a slurry to clean the rice husk. Finished the great virtue to bring the barley into the bowl and bring the bowl into the bowl of the Buddha invited him to drink. Buddha asked:

- Ānanda, what are you going to beg today to share with the Tathagata?

- Buddha, this is already the pounding barley husk and clean thoroughly sifting process should be able to be used.

Buddha praised:

- This time that you have such a good food is very precious. Where do you find me?

- Bach The Sun has a horse merchant from northern origin Uttarapatha come, bring 500 horses, currently in Veranja. This morning, I went to his house to beg for alms. Through the story asked about the teachings, the method of learning and the status of the congregation here, he told the child that no day can get food, the mendicant can visit his home to receive Each have a handful of barley to eat for hunger. The barley is reserved for horses, but the quality is good, rice husks and ready to eat to eat a very nutritious. Heard that, I immediately asked for a bit more for the Exalted.

- Then tell this to the mendicants.

Mr. Ananda sat down to see the Buddha eating barley in a calm and delicious manner. Master resonates with a king, a teacher living a life of iron.

After that afternoon's talk, Venerable Ānanda informed the masses of the offerings of the horse owner's barley offerings. He added that only if they did not get new food to pick up barley because the amount of barley was extracted from the servings of 500 horses.

When should the precepts be issued? [2]

One day, also in Veranjà, after meditation, Venerable Sariputta came to Buddha and bowed lightly:

- The Buddha Dharma, the Buddha Dharma of any long-lived and Dhamma does not last long?

- Hey Sariputta, the Dharma of the Buddhas Vipassi (Ty Ba Thi), Sikhi (when) and Vessabhu (Ty Phu) did not last long; The teachings of the Buddhas of Kakusandha, Konāgamana and Kassapa lasted for a long time. Dhamma exists permanently or not, depending on the discipline of the disciples, so also according to the basic rules (Pātimokkha, the rules) are issued.

- Buddha, if so we would like to ask Bhagavan rejoice institutions and fully enact rules to make exemplary monastic thousand generations.

- Not yet, Sariputta. Discipline can not be made by one person in one day. Please be patient. As long as there are blunders of error that arise in the increase of them, then it is appropriate to issue disciplinary measures and the institution of precepts. When we see the precepts are complete, we will issue the Precepts (Pātimokkha) and the Upasampada.

Season retreat in Veranja was the headline for an introduction four major world mobile Balaam [3] (Parajika) in Vinaya (Vinaya Pitaka).

Slowly day [4] Chronic Lower arrived. Host Agnidatta from far away. Heard that many of the mendicants were hungry during the retreat, he was very regretful. He held a solemn feast at home, offering three sets of cassocks and alms to each one. After the sermon, the Buddha and his followers departed, departing for Soreyya, Sankassa, Kannakujja and Payàga. He came to her for a while, then returned to Veslas, staying at Mahàvana. Then the Buddha left for Koliya.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.11/5/2017.
