The Buddha 's Appreciation  
51.

Lower 45 in the village of Beluva near Vesala [1] (-545)

After crossing the Ganges at Pātaliputta (formerly Pātaligāma), the Buddha and the congregation went to Kotigāma. The Buddha stayed at Kotigama for a few days to teach a large number of sages here about the importance and practice of the Four Noble Truths to end suffering and return to Nādika. Here the Buddha and the congregation rest in a brick house called Ginjakavasatha. Here, on the occasion of Venerable Ānanda, the Buddha asked the disciples who had died in the area, among them were the nuns Sundarì Nandà, the sister of the Buddha, the Sálha nādī, the nuns of Sujàta In the past, he gave bowls of porridge to the Buddha, and the lay followers of Kakudha, Bhadda, Subhadda, etc. After the Buddha's explanation of the attainment of each one, the Buddha added:

- Hey Ananda, more than fifty lay common destiny in Nadika, has eradicated five lower fetters [2] , attained Any refund (Anagami), of being paradise and thus Nirvana is no longer back this life half. Ānanda, over ninety male laymen in Nādika, has eliminated the three fetters, [3] reducing the greed of greed, the Sakadāgàmi, after returning to this world once again Suffering. This Ānanda, over five hundred male laymen, had the same destiny in Nādika, eradicates the three fetters, the Sotàpatti, which is no longer destined to the path of evil, if attainment attains enlightenment.

"Ānanda, it is not strange that people are destined to be together. But each time the fate of the general came again to ask Tathagata on this issue of Ānanda, so disturbed Tathagata. This Ananda, so I will preach  Mirrors Dharma [4] (Dhammadasa) to Holy disciples after attaining legal means, if desired, will automatically know about myself as follows: "For us, there is no place Purgatory, will not be reborn in the realms of birth, hungry, evil, land, the beast. N practitioners who understand the Noble Eightfold Path, diligently practice the Transcendental Wisdom to eradicate smuggling, smuggling, ignorance, and firm belief in the Jewels can look in the mirror of the Buddha, the Dharma, the Sangha Consider your mind to know you have been in the liberation,

Severe illness in Beluva, near Vesalia. [5]

Leaving Naadika, the Buddha and the congregation to the thriving capital of Vesalia of Vajji, lived in Amapara's mango orchard Ambapàli. Ms Ambapali organized the ceremony to raise the son the next day. At the ceremony, she offered her mango orchard to the congregation of the mendicants, and she also asked to be ordained, later attained arahantship. [6]

In Vesala, the Buddha preached to the masters of Mindfulness and Awakening as follows:

- Monks, monks must  live to stay Mindfulness awareness . To stay mindfulness is to the body, to the sensation, to the mind, to the law must always be consistent impermanence, not self, nirvana, mindfulness recapture all craving, favor in life . Awaken to always watch all movements, words, ideas and keep them pure.

The Buddha also mentioned the practice of Wisdom:

- Hey teacher, this is about, this is Dinh, this is wisdom. Determining to cultivate with Mama will result in great fruits, great benefits. Tu tu same practice with Dinh will lead to great results, great benefits. The religious center for knowledge will lead to full liberation or pirated items, ie illegal sex, property illegally ignorance [7] .

A few days later, the Buddha left Veslas to the village of Beluvagamaka (now Basarli) on the outskirts of Vesala. The first rain fell, lasting nearly two days. The Buddha decided to settle in Beluva this year, and advised the monks of the troupe to enter in or around the city of Veslas because the village of Beluva has no convenient place for the congregation to enter the common. This is the 45th peace after the Buddha's enlightenment in Bodh Gaya, and also the final season of the Buddha.

In the middle of the holiday season this year the Buddha was seriously ill. The body is extremely painful. He lies still, without groaning, keeping his mindfulness and breathing. People think that Buddha will not pass. But unexpectedly after a week, Buddha overcome the pain. Health gradually recovered. A few days later the Buddha stood up himself, went out of the am, sat on a rock in front of the sun to sun.

The Buddha taught refuge in the self-nature of the Triple Jewels [8]

Venerable Ānanda came to sit beside the Buddha, saying:

- Buddha, forty years now I have not seen Bhagavan serious illness like this. The day of silence lay silent all day, I felt bad legs and limbs. My mind was not clear at the time, I thought that the Blessed One would not pass away. But he said to himself: The Blessed One has no will at all for the almsgiving congregation, then the Sun must not enter nirvana. Thanks to such a thought that peace of mind to be somewhat.

- Ānanda, the Congregation of the mendicant waiting for anything in the Tathagata again, but the teacher said that Tathagatas have to leave a will? Dhamma has been taught thoroughly Tathagata for everyone, there is something for the practice of liberation that Tathagata not only teach you?

"Ānanda, the abiding  refuge of the congregation is righteous, not a teacher . Teachers do not seek refuge other than Dharma. Each person must take the Dharma himself as a refuge. Must live according to the Dharma. You must live according to your own pure mind. This is an Ānanda,  Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha are available in each of us: the possibility of enlightenment is the Buddha, the Dharma practice is the Dharma, the diligent practice is the Sangha . No one can rob the Buddha, Dharma, Raising the body of the teacher. Although heaven and earth are inclined, the Self-contained Three Jewels in each person is still intact. That is your safest refuge. The mendicant returns to staying in mindfulness, contemplating the body, feeling, mind and object of the mind, It is the mendicant who has the strongest support . Another person, be it the patriarch, the captain, or his tutor, is not a better abode than the Self-contained Three Jewels available in each person.

"Ānanda, what you need to know Tathagata has taught enough. The Tathagata Tathagata made available. Teach yourself to light up the torch .

"Ānanda, the Tathagata does not think that any one should lead the Bhikshuni, or the Bhikshuni, depending on whom. Why do I have to leave the will of the Congregation?

"Ananda, now Tathagata is exhausted,  old and weak, and almost to death. As Lai was eighty years old, it was no more than an old carriage that needed strings to tie the parts, keeping it from leaving . The body of the Tathagata today also needs the same rope.

"Ānanda, as long as Tathagata no longer think of things around, all feelings are terminated, the mind is completely relaxed and immobile, so the body of the Tathagata is very comfortable."

Venerable Săriputta passed away at Nálaka [9]

At the end of the 45th season, the health of the Buddha has been restored. One morning, Cunda, the attendant of Venerable Sariputta, traveled from Upatissa village, Nàlanda district, to Beluva village, entering the monastery of Ānanda with a tired face on the road. As soon as he saw Ananda Ñnanda, crying sobs, tears streaming down his cheeks dust. He bent down to pay homage to Venerable Ānanda, and stood up to reach out and took out two cassettes, a bowl and a vessel of sacred relics of Venerable Sariputta. Sob sob sob, speechless. I do not need to say anything. As soon as he came in, Venerable Ñnanda understood what had happened. The monk hugged his uncle in his heart, to cry for a while and then lead him to sit under the tree in front of the door. Uncle Cunda crying, he began to tell:

Venerable Sariputta came to Upatissa village to visit his mother, Rupa Sari, gave her a sermon. After listening to her results Tu-momentum. The monk took care of her until she died. After the cremation of Ms. Sari, available full of relatives and residents in the village, Venerable sermon for them to hear. 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, in the moonlit night of Kattika month (11 dl), the Venerable sat in the lotus position in the room where he was born. Early the next morning, Cunda knew that the Venerable Sariputta had passed away at midnight. Previously, the Venerable said that he wanted to exterminate before the Buddha, and told Cunda should bring the bowl and relics of the Venerable to the Buddha and ask him to accompany him.

Venerable Ānanda wiped his tears, stood up, led the little Cunda to see the Buddha, brought with him the casserole, the bowl and the relics of Venerable Sariputta. The Buddha stood quietly looking at the cassia, the bowl and the relics of the first disciple. A long time later, Buddha rubs the head of uncle Cunda, then told Ananda to arrange arrangements for him to go near the Buddha. Venerable Ānanda said:

- Buddha, when I heard that the brother died, I saw stunned both limbs and minds lost all discernment. I'm so sad.

- Hey Ananda, his brother passed away when carrying out gender, intellectual property and where his deliverance?

- Buddha, not like that. I think that Sàriputta, who was born at the time of his birth, has served the Dharma and the Blessed One very well in all areas, from the teaching of the Dharma to the organization of retreat and guide us every time anyone has something incomprehensible. Clear or unknown how to practice the right way. Both brothers Moggallana and Sariputta are gone. Congregation has suffered a great loss. We feel empty, helpless, mourn a brother who was kindly anxious to teach us when the Sun was absent.

- Ānanda, Tathagata has repeatedly reminded him that as long as there is birth there is kill, there is reunion is dissociated. Compounded dharmas are like, change not stop, walls, pillars, not. We should look at the dharmas as dew drops on the tip of the grass, like the image in a water bubble, like lightning when it rains, like a flower in the middle of nowhere. But if we learn to live with the reality, the true nature of things, we will see the same things to nature, not being not kill, not dirty dirty, do not increase not decrease [10] . Ānanda, his two brothers never lost. The spirit of Moggallàna and Sariputta is still there, Moggallàna and Sariputta's career is still there, the thoughts and words of Moggallàna and Sariputta are still there, where the Tathagata, where the mendicants, where Cunda, Where the courts, where the aisles, Where trees, lawns, everywhere. Ānanda, teacher calm, stop thinking, to see the immortal nature of the two brothers of the master . Ānanda, Sariputta is enlightened, is a great wisdom and love, but Sarriputta must be the ashes of this relic. Ānanda, you should not let your mind be entangled in conditioned things. You should know Yasodharà is love, Sudattà is great vows, Moggallàna is filial, Mahàkassapa is devotee, Punna Mantàniputta is missionary, Anuruddha is diligent. Have those spirits disappeared in this world? Is wisdom and great love, but Sarriputta must be the ashes in this sacred relic. Ānanda, you should not let your mind be entangled in conditioned things. You should know Yasodharà is love, Sudattà is great vows, Moggallàna is filial, Mahàkassapa is devotee, Punna Mantàniputta is missionary, Anuruddha is diligent. Have those spirits disappeared in this world? Is wisdom and great love, but Sarriputta must be the ashes in this sacred relic. Ānanda, you should not let your mind be entangled in conditioned things. You should know Yasodharà is love, Sudattà is great vows, Moggallàna is filial, Mahàkassapa is devotee, Punna Mantàniputta is missionary, Anuruddha is diligent. Have those spirits disappeared in this world?

King of Kosala was private, he sent messengers to invite bowl and relics of the Venerable Sariputta the church tower in Savatthi and Jetavana [11] . Later, villagers and Buddhists also built a huge brick tower of Sariputta at the Nalanda Buddhist Institute.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.
