Shakyamuni Buddha Recitation .24

11th-16th in the city of Angels (-574)

Buddha Вlavaka (demon of the Minas) [1]

After the 15th season, the Buddha went to the south. The Buddha entered the 16th in the city of Ālavì, on the left bank of the Gangá River, not far from Benares (Varanasi). Near the residence there is a desert shrine on the east of Narayana (Na La Dien) temple worship Visnu. It is a yakkha Àlavaka [2] very aggressive , like to eat human flesh. One day, the Buddha in the shrine sat meditating. Ālavaka furious anger in front of the Buddha shouted:

- Get out of here! Hurry up.

- Okay, Tathagata come out here.

- Now come back!

The Buddha returned to the shrine. The second time, and the third time, the devil Ālavaka ordered the Buddha to go out like that, the Buddha do it. Devil Ālavaka liked to scream out the Buddha went out. Buddha said:

- Tathagata has been recommended three times. Such is enough. Now the Tathagata wants to be here in silence.

- Yes, he is a genius, I will ask him 13 questions. If he can handle it, I will leave him free to sit here as long as possible. But if he does not answer, we will disperse his heart, cut his heart, and grasp his leg tossed across the river Gangá.

- Hey, can not be. In this world Tathagata does not see anyone, whether gods, saathas, brahmans, or a crowd of people, no one can disperse Tathagata mind, or cut heart Tathagata, Tathagata tossed across the other side of the Ganges. However, what do you want to ask?

Ālavaka raised the following questions:

1- What is the most precious property of man?

2- What, if practiced correctly, will bring happiness?

3- What flavor is sweeter than all?

4- What is the highest life?

The Buddha replies:

1- Wisdom is the most precious possession of man.

2-Dhamma noble, if practiced right, will bring happiness.

3- Compassion is the sweetest taste.

Living with wisdom is the highest.

Ålavaka asked again:

5- How to overcome the water disaster? (How to overcome a dangerous accident?)

6- How to overcome positive? (How to do a great job?)

7- How to overcome the defilement?

8- How self-purification? (How can body and mind be purified?)

The Buddha replies:

5 - Overcoming the water disaster with faith.

6 - Be positive with perseverance.

7- Tame defile by patience.

8- Self-purification by wisdom.

Ålavaka asked again:

9- How to achieve wisdom?

10- How to make a career?

11- How to achieve fame?

12- How can friendship become tight?

13- How to clean afflictions when dying?

The Buddha replies:

9- Having a clear belief, persistence in the Dharma practice of the Brahmanic level, will attain wisdom capable of leading to nirvana.

10- Wisdom, persistence, hard work, will set up a career.

11- The honesty will make the achievement of fame.

12- Germany generous tolerance makes friendship become tight.

13- The layman has four virtues: truth, virtue, courage and tolerance, will not be afflicted when he dies.

"If you have doubts, ask other monks and Brahmins to see if they have something more precious, nobler than self-control, self-control, generosity and patience."

Devil Ālavaka understood the Buddha's teachings, saying:

- Buddha, taught by Bhagavan, I have the secret to understanding the pursuit of peace in the future. I do not have to ask other monks or Brahmins what to do. Today, the Buddha came to Alavia for the sake of your well-being. I have understood that French medicine brings rich fruit. From now on, I will go from village to village, from city to town to celebrate merit and the high Dhamma of the Transfiguration.

- Ālavaka, want to be at peace, must keep the pure world, especially the four murdered, robbery, lewd, lying. Can you keep it?

- Buddha, for 3 world of thieves, lewd and lie, then the hold. But you and your dependence only by eating blood meat that is alive, now ordained do not kill what to know what to live?

- Good deeds, Tathagata will tell the monks (monks) from now on, every meal must often test for you and your dependence. [3]

- Buddha, the Buddha for refuge, refuge in the Dharma, the Sangha, and pray from now will wholeheartedly support the Dharma.

Having said that, the devil Ālavaka prostrate the Buddha and then go away. 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.
