TIME TO LEARN EDUCATION.

From 29 to 35 (6 years).

1- Leave (-595)

595 years BC, Prince Siddhattha was 29 years old [1] . Princess Yasodharà has just given birth to the only son of Rahula [7] for seven days.

After the supper banquet celebrating the king's birthday, the night was too late, everyone was tired. King Sakka Indra [3] is the god of power that makes all the men and women fall asleep, lying everywhere. The prince felt anxious not to sleep, thinking himself should take this unique opportunity to leave. He stood looking at Princess Yasodharà and Rahula for the last time to say goodbye. The two mother and son together create a warm image of harmony sacred, noble, innocent, passionate, soothing crown touched touched feet. The Prince suddenly remembered the infatuation of the infinite suffering of beings who suffered for countless lives, he hurried out to call Channa:

- Channa, you have brought Kanthaka here.

- Dear Prince, is now past midnight, he used the horse to do?

- The time has come, we go out, do not interfere with me, do not dislike me.

Channa trembled, stealing from the horse. The prince shook his horse and the earth shook six times. Channa barely clung ponytail, the four he Uranus [4] flew down to hold four foot horse hurtling through the gate eastward [5] , then go south to where hermit Bhargava (Baht Aging or fishing Mrs. Asceticism comes down. At dawn the first day of February 8 [6] year of tiger (-595), Prince Siddhattha and Channa finds himself on the other side Anoma river banks [7] , how to Kapilavatthu 36 miles (58 km) southwest [ 8] , in the village of Anupiya, Malla.

The prince drew his sword and cut his hair and vowed: " I cut off this tangle of hair in order to get rid of the defilements and practice ." King Sakka Indra took his lap sweater and flew to the basilica to build the temple. The prince thought to himself, "We have to change this as a general." Sakka Indra knows what it means to be a hunter, holding a bowser, and wearing a yellow cassette. Prince Siddhartha asked,

- Why did he wear a monk's robe and go to work killing so?

- Sir, I'm wearing this to see some deer did not flee. So I hunted a lot.

- He dressed in a monk that did not kill the monk. And I want to release the globe without a monk shirt. So you should change your shirt with me.

Sakka Indra respectfully took off his robes. He also took off his shirt. The crown prince dressed in a cocktail [9] , used natural modification, thinking: " From here I have a formal appearance ."

Before leaving [10] , Prince blandly told Channa:

- Channa, we see the world, the body that far apart, but when they are together, their minds still follow each other. There are also close relatives but the mind does not match their minds are separated from each other. I left the palace of the throne, only you follow me here. I will stay in this deserted area, but you bring my costume to the royal court and said: Your Majesty, for the honors, power and pleasure in life, Crown Prince Do not think, do not desire, nor beg to be born in the heaven to enjoy the five pleasures, nor irretrievable, anger, but because they see the wrong paths, not know the main road, Sank in the cycle of samsara, so the Thai died in search of a way to rescue them. Bade please do not be sad for the Crown Prince. If the Sultan says we are young, should not be ordained, Then he said, "Your Majesty, the life of an impermanent is no age limit, there is no one who is old enough to die ." You say to my aunt: People are born in life, sex is a separation, I want to get rid of these suffering should go to school, please do not forget to do anything sad. You should also tell the princesses that we want to break the ignorance, wish to become the hallway and then return to lead people to liberation.

Channa finished listening to the Prince, tearful tears, horse back to the city.

Channa came to the palace; Queen Pajāpati, Princess Yasodharà and the two women, Gopika and Migranana, and the women who saw Channa without seeing the Prince were anxious to ask:

- Where are you now?

- Queen, Prince has left the five pleasures to seek relief. He is now in the forest, wearing a cocktail, cutting his beard, becoming a monk. May the queen rejoice!

- I have aunt what you, queen said, how dare you leave the Prince alone in the cold, painful, poisonous lacquer, get something to ensure the Prince's life?

- Ladies and gentlemen, the prince took her child back to present her these costumes and please her peace of mind, do not worry sad, soon Prince prince righteous attitude will return.

" Your house is without cause to harm me," said the princess Yasodharà, "what have you got back here yet?

- Ladies and gentlemen, the prince surpassed the monk was the god of the gods make people sleep, then four goddess King down four feet of horses flying into the sky, and just grab the horse tail to fly never mind. Please forgive me. But that's great, precious! When Prince Siddhartha flew over the gates of nature, there was a bright light in the sky. What a strange!

Going to the royal palace, Kanthaka is saddened, abandoned for a few days, and his intestines broken, he falls to death, reborn in the Tàvatimsa [11] .

Prince Siddhattha, now avowed Gotama, stayed on the banks of the Anomà River for seven days, happily sitting in the middle of the forest, in the Anupiya village of Malla. Here the novice monk has the opportunity to observe the ascetic way of Bhargava group (The. These ascetic men cover the trunk or leaf, either by grass, or by bark; When eating, use the plants, grass, flowers, fruits, have him eat one meal a day, or two days, three days a meal; He worshiped the god of water, fire god, he worshiped the sun, the moon; Have him stand one leg all day, have him put his hands into the sky all day, have him on the thorns, or lie next to the fire, or in the water. Gotama (Gotama) asked:

- What are these ascetic aspirants?

- We hope after death will be born heavenly enjoyment.

- Being born to the heavens, ascetic Gotama said, but real fun, but when all the oppressed and blessing also optimistic, samsara in six road [12] . I want to find ways to eliminate all the basis of suffering.

Discussion no one found any good methods. Gotama asked to leave to continue the path. Bhargava see Gotama has a good general and great grandmother said:

- Hey brethren ago about 120 miles to the southeast, near the capital Vesali of origin which served (any), a guru is very famous and ethical depth, financing higher education league, called ALARA Kàlàma (A La La Ca Lam) [13] has 300 disciples . So the faithful should go there and talk about it.

Gotama thanking Bhavgatava and then went to find Maharaja Kālāma.

King Suddhodana after the news of the Prince surpassed the monk, the night remembered, heart disease. He summoned the spirit of conversation and then sent him to the head of a group of spirits invited the Prince returned to the palace. In that group of five royal honor Sakya [14] that he Kondanna (ascetics), Bhaddiya (Baht Recommended), Dasabala Kassapa (hexadecimal Mahakasyapa) also called Vappa (She Division Three), Mahanama Kulika (Ma Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed). Delegation to the forest by the river Anomà, meeting with Bhargava, asked:

" Sir, Prince Siddhattha has left home to come here?

- Ladies and gentlemen, have a conversation pupils coming with us, but now probably are at Alara Kalama masters of the land near the capital, which served Vesali.

The delegation immediately retired Bhargava and continued to Vesalia, seeking to direct the Dalai Lama. Going to see the Prince dressed in a tuxedo, kneeling down saying:

- Dear Prince, Great King but who knew the Prince wanted to study religion ordained long ago, but he still remembered the clock forward, spirits were chasing, body wear. Prince Siddhartha quickly return to the palace, the King will set aside a quiet place to the Prince peace of mind to study, just in the place where the forest is deserted.

- I do not know the suffering and intimacy of the Sultan. It is because to solve the root of the suffering of the living beings that I have to leave the religious path. And besides, I have my grandson, Rahula next door, to console me and to marry later. Please return to the King, when the settlement of the suffering of the above beings I will return.

Seeing that the Prince was full of generals, the group of five Kondanna brothers volunteered to stay with Prince Siddhartha, so that he could return to the King.

The first guru: Ālàra Kàlàma [15]

When Gotama sat down, he met the guru Ālàra Kālāma and bowed and said:

- Master, please teach the guru and live a spiritual life under the guidance of the master.

- Stay here with me, O young man, how to teach mine to help smart people soon realize direct supreme teachings by intuitive wisdom of his own, and make life in the realization dirty. Cultivator must eliminate the clinging of the body is falling, until the achievement of consciousness leaves the body like a cage bird, donning freedom in the three [16] , that is liberation.

- Master, the sublime teachings that the guru was aware of intuition must be how and how the results?

Ālàra Kālāma, then, explained to the Gotama dharma how to cultivate and realize the following realization realms:

1.  Do not take its life, do not desire fame or worldly possessions, boring and mundane pleasures, ready to happily forsake all, the prime  Profile meditation [17] , reached Hy Sanh Ly Lac Location. Practice: Divide the glass of evil, using Games and quarters except for delusions and afflictions, enter the Divine Joy, and evidence and stay meditation. After the general network, can be born to the Brahma parisajja, Brahma purohita, Mahà Brahmà. The first meditation, such as brass water (mind) for a long time, sediment (affliction) settling down 8/10, the body is gentle fun; But when the water is disturbed, the residue becomes irritated.

5-  Out of all the colors, eliminating obstacles to think, do not interfere with the ideal, harmony in the infinite boundless. Feel yourself and everything can contract a nature, and dissolved in nothingness without borders, the prime  Infinity of (Akasanantya yatana), is itself not. After the general network, may be born into the first heaven of Formlessness. Acquired Borderless Country as water evaporated, no longer seen, but can be turned into clouds, into rain. Obtained Borderless Space can be the Spirit of Tuc Thong.

6-  Beyond Borderlessness, no longer find themselves with the body, only the mind is boundless, equality with all beings are not  different,(Vijnanantya yatana), is awake. After the general network, may be born into the second heaven of the Formless. The savvy country, like water, has become a bit too light, can not be turned into clouds, into rain anymore. Persons of Infinite Consciousness can be Thien Nhien Thong, Thiên Nhi Thong and Tha Tâm Thông.

7 -  Beyond the Consciousness of the Kingdom, the realization of the dharmas are not, nothing of their own (nothing), nothing to attain, nothing necessary (not useful) ,  The Avatamsaka (Aqincannà yatana), the French. After the general network, may be born into the third heaven. That is the highest heaven I have realized. There is nothing else. The Noblesse, like water, had evaporated slightly, beyond the atmosphere, with only a little bit of wetness. Avatars of Possession can know some of their past lives.

Gotama according to the instructions that practice a few days also realize the realm of Infinite Realm. But he was also disappointed that he did not know the ultimate truth that he wished. Ālàra Kālàma Master delighted to see his brilliant disciple succeeded swiftly, praising:

- Dear fellow, I am so delighted to have a respected fellow practitioner like a Christian. The teachings that I have realized with wisdom and have declared success, now the same path has realized as me. So let's stay here with me, let's join together to lead this group of Taoists.

- Dhamma teacher, consciousness left the body is still fall, also birth and death . I find myself needing to progress further because my mind is not completely calm, the original birth and death is not terminated, the realms of nirvana have not enlightened, the real truth has not communicated. I would like to say goodbye to continue the way.

The second guru: Uddaka Ramaputta [24]

Kondanna advised Gotama to go to his former teacher, Uddaka Ramaputta ( 25) , near the city of Rajagaha ( 26) , Magadha (Magadha). The Rajagaha, also known as Ràjagriha, about 160 km south of Vesalia. Gotama together with the five Kondanna brothers traveled ten days to meet Uddaka Ramaputta. At that time the guru was 75 years old and had 700 disciples, 300 studied on the spot and 400 in other places. Master teaches:

- Ordinary people often accept the appearance of all things, or accept that things are not form, so it is misleading. Consideration should be given to the righteousness, only to the mysteriousness (l 'essence, the crystal, the feet) of all things . Must be Out of Property to prove and abide the Phi Phi Dream. Such should avoid any prospect of self, human, beings, life authors [27] , the mind is no longer thinking (which is thought not), that results in liberation High First, do not suffer anymore, and born of heaven Phi Fei Phi Phi Tuong.

Gotama entered a few days to confirm that N'eva sanna nasanna yatana, no knowledge or no knowledge, the mind becomes so delicate that it can not say there is. Or no consciousness. For example, water has dissolved into oxygen and hydrogen, not water, but water. It is believed that Uddaka Rappaputta is very happy to say:

"My friend Gotama, I am very happy to have a respected fellow practitioner like a Christian. What I have understood and realized now is as well understood and realized as me. So, please stay here to lead this group of Taoists for me, because I am too old now, no longer in this world.

- Dear teacher, I see in the realm of Phi Phi Chiang Chiang still acts as human subtle now for  eight subtle suffering following :

1-  Mind is still thinking, it is suffering.

2-  Memories are consecutive, it is old suffering.

3- The  mind is not finished, the power is not stable, it is suffering .

4-  Power can also be rotten, that is death.

5-  Remember, but it is love separation .

6.  There is something not satisfied, it is resentment suffering .

7-Sometimes  when asked not to have any obstacles, it is undue demand .

8-  Life, thought, action, awake is not complete, it is warm suffering .

The supreme priest, seeking to eradicate the root of all forms of suffering. Chi Chuan did not succeed, so I asked permission to continue the gospel to the path.

"  Gotama, the master of Uddaka Ramaputta said, the noble aspirations of the faithful are so admirable, so when the success of the brother please remember me first.

By chance, King Seniya Bimbisàra visits Uddaka Ramaputta, where he comes to pay homage to Gotama and asks him to divide him by half if he stays with Magadha. After the rebellion of Gotama's rejection, the king demanded that the saami succeed in reclaiming his reign.

4- Six years of asceticism in Uruvela [28]

(From 595 to 589 BC)

Gotama sees that no one else is better for him to rely on, so it is time for him to self-fulfill his aspirations. He went with his five buddies, Kondanna, Bhaddiya, Vappa, and Dasabala Kassapa, Mahalàma Kulika and Assaji. Uddaka rapataputta, aka tapovana, dukkharakrya, is located in the village of Uruvela, near the city of Gaya, about 30 km south-east of Uttar Pradesh, to practice asceticism. At that time, so far in India, there are many masters who strongly believe that ascetic mantras can overcome and purify mind and body, eliminate all lust, and Leading to the ultimate liberation. Of course, Gotama decided to test this method.

He went to a remote cave in the middle of Dungsiri Mountain, beginning a fierce struggle to overcome the body, with the hope that once he had mastered the complex and disturbed needs of the body, the mind Will be freed from the dominion of matter to reach the level of high liberation. He strives to achieve the same level of asceticism. Eat only leaves, roots, few sesame seeds, beans every day, sleep very little, meditate or meditate throughout the day. His body was only skin bones, the navel near the backbone. The Buddha later recounted in the Maha Saccaka (Majjhima Nikàya 36), his ascetic practice as follows:

" At that moment the following thought arises to me: Or try to bite your teeth, curl your tongue against the top of your jaw, and use good thoughts to crush, tame, and destroy bad thoughts. Then I bite my teeth, curl my tongue against the top of my jaw, and try to squeeze, control, destroy bad thoughts with good thoughts. As I struggled, the sweat from my armpit poured out. Like a strong man who presses down a person's neck weakly, presses himself downward, and subdues him, I fight so as to surrender to unwholesome thoughts. My strength is strong and indomitable. My spirit is unwavering. But my body was tired of the constant effort to hold on to it. Although these feelings of pain arise in my body, it does not affect my mind at all.

"Then I thought to myself: Or do we meditate on holding our breath again! Then I tightened control of inhalation and exhaling through the mouth, with the nostrils, through the ears. And when I hold my breath, my head hurts. Just as an athlete squeezes my head with a hard leather cord. However, my strength is strong. Those painful feelings do not affect my mind.

"Then I thought to myself: Or do we meditate on holding our breath again! Then I hold my breath with my mouth, with my nostrils, with my ears. When I control the breath like that, a strong stream of air penetrates my stomach. Just as there is a skilled butcher or beginner who is using a knife to sharpen my abdomen. However, my strength is strong. Such painful feeling did not affect my mind.

"Again, I thought to myself: Or do I meditate on holding my breath again? Then I control my breathing through my mouth, my nostrils and my ears. When I hold my breath, a terrible heat burns on my body. Just as two athletes were holding my hands and limbs on a heap of burning charcoal until my body was burned down. However, my strength is still strong. Such painful feeling does not affect my mind.

"At that moment the angels saw me and said to one another: Ascetic Gotama died. Others say: The ascetic Gotama is not dead, but is dying. While some say: Ascetic Gotama is not dead, nor is he dying because he is an Arhat. This is just an Arahant's lifestyle.

"Then I thought to myself: Or do we try the whole thing on a hunger strike? At that moment the angels came near me and said: Sir, you should not be practicing a complete hunger strike. If you do, we will pour the heavenly crystal into your body through the pores to feed you. I think: If we say that the hunger strike, the angels poured celestial bodies into the body through the pores to feed us, it turns out we cheated. Well, I do not have to go on a hunger strike.

"Then I thought: Or do we just live a pint of beans or vegetables every day? When I use only very few solid or liquid things like that, my body becomes thin as dry as the reeds put together. My desk is only with the camel toenails. My backbone is like a chain up and up. My ribs are like a broken ribs. My eyes are like the image of stars at the bottom of a deep well. My scalp hair loss, wrinkled like a dried melon. When I want to touch the abdominal skin, my hands touch the backbone. When I want to touch the spine, my hands touch the skin of the abdomen. Because of the lack of food, my belly pressed close to my spine. When I want to stand up and urinate, I fall helplessly. I pounded my limbs and my body back to life. Alas, at such a beating, My hair is falling on the ground because it is dead. People who see me like that say: Gotama black. Someone said: Gotama skin is not black but green. Some say: Gotama is not black, not green but dark brown. My bright complexion is so bad that it lacks the real thing.

"Then I thought to myself: No matter how past ascetic or brahmans suffer from painful, painful, sarcastic feelings, then this is the same, can not be more . Although the ascetic or brahmanas in the future will suffer pain, pain and sorrow, how could this be the same, can not be more. However, despite many austerities, hardships and pain, I have not yet attained the ultimate enlightenment of inner being beyond the human state. Or is there any other path leading to the ultimate realization? "

Seeing Gotama close to death without gaining his will, Mara immediately approached him and said [29] :

- Thin, Thin, Thin Body! Dead time is near. Your body is dying, leaving only a thousand. But live, Taoist, life is very nice. There is a new life created blessing. Be celibate and sacrifice fire, you will create many blessings. How do I live ascetic life like this to do? The path to persevering effort is truly difficult, difficult, not easy to accomplish.

Gotama replied:

- Evil evil, devil, relatives of sin and lazy. You only come here for your own benefit. I cultivate with firm conviction, with strict control of body and mind, with diligence and wisdom. I have so resolved, why do you want to wobble me? Dry blood, dry honey, meat also wear out. The more we wear out, the more pure our mind. The more pure the mind, the more it rests, the more lucid, the stronger the force. The more painful body is, the more distracted the mind is from craving. Then we know clearly what is the purity of a being.

"Ambition is your number one army. The second warrior is disgruntled, the third is craving, the fourth is craving, the fifth is the throes, the sixth is fear, the seventh is cynical, the eighth is false, Benefit, praise, honor, tenth is high self and contempt.

"Mara, it is your army, it is the guests who always hide inside the evil demons like you. The weak coward is not won, but whoever overcomes the army is happy.

"I columns on our flag tussock munja [30] . To live in cowardice in this world is humiliating! I would rather die on the battlefield than live and fail.

Listen to here, Ma Wang looks disappointed, depressed, sad, leave.

Nearly 6 years of ascetic, the power of Gotama dormant increasingly weakened, the body thinned by the fasting, stay awake, stay awake. Sometimes he fainted while meditating under the tree or walking. There is also a rocky cave in the middle of Dungsiri Mountain, Uruvela, about 5 km northeast of Bodh Gaya, celebrating his ascetic practice. There is a Tibetan temple in front of the cave.

One day, sitting meditating by the river Neranjana, Gotama suddenly heard a professor of music teaching his students on a passing boat: " Remember, the strings must be just right. Tension, the new tongue. If the string is too soft then the soft deaf mute deaf, if the string is too tight to break . At the moment of the decline of the body, Gotama bubbling fervently meditation.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.10/5/2017.
