At the age of 29, after the daughter of Da-da-da-la gave birth to a baby boy, was named  La- rula  ( Prince sa- rula ), Prince Siddhartha decides to leave the palace, the same Join ascetic with various groups of monks. All-determined determination seeks to eliminate suffering and seek every teacher with different teachings. According to the Indian tradition, only the ascetic path was brought to the path. The ascetic guru reputation that time is Arada Kalama (sa.  Arada KAlama , pi.  Alara KAlama ) and Rudraka Ramaputra (sa.  Rudraka ramaputra , pi.  Uddaka Ramaputta ). Where Arada Kalama, All-reaching multi-level learning and reach  the Zen  Unknown Origin ownership  (sa.  Akimcanyayatana , pi.  

But the All-reaching radar and could not find where the position that the answer to your question about the ego, should resolve themselves seek liberation and five  monks  (five brothers  ascetics , sa .  Kondanna ) companion. After years of ascetic practice, exhaustion and near death, Siddhartha realizes that it is not a practice to lead enlightenment, so return to normal eating, the five monks are disappointed and leave. The hardships suffered by the Buddha after his enlightenment as follows:

"Aggivessana, then I thought to myself," Let's minimize the amount of food we eat, eat less droplet, like green bean soup, black bean soup or peanut soup or pea soup. "And this Aggivessana, While I minimize the amount of food I eat, one by one, such as green bean soup, black bean soup or peanut soup or pea soup, my body becomes very weak. Because I eat too little, my limbs become grassy or burned withered plants; Because I eat too little, my table becomes like a camel's toenail; Because I eat too little, my backbone is like a chain; For I have eaten too little, My thin ribs are like a broken pile of broken houses; Because I ate so little, my spherical Mye lay deep in the eye hole, like the glistening water that lay deep in a deep well; Because I eat too little, My scalp becomes crumpy like a white pumpkin and the bitterness is cut before it is ripe, the heat of the wind makes the wrinkles dry. Aggivessana, if I think, "Let's touch the belly skin," then the spine itself was taken by Me. If I think, "Let's touch the spine", then my stomach skin is grabbed by Me. Because I eat too little, this Aggivessana, my belly skin to hold tight to the spine. Aggivessana, if I think: "I am stupid, or urinating," I collapse, face down, because I eat too little. Aggivessana, if I want to soothe my body, with my hands and feet, Aggivessana, while I massage my limbs, my hairs fall off my body, because I eat too little. Again, this Aggivessana, some people see this saying: "Satna Gotama black." Some people say the following: "Gotama Gotama, skin is not black, Gotama skin has gray skin. "Some people say the following:

Not achieving liberation with ascetic way, Siddhartha renounce this practice. Assuming that he went to the extreme of ascetic doctrines and ascetics that did not lead to enlightenment, Siddhartha sought another method, and recalled a childhood experience while sitting under the root. plum tree:

"Aggivessana, then I think:" I know, while my father Sakka is plowing and I am sitting in the shade of a matchmaker (pi  jambu ) I am a liberal, unwholesome legal proof and resident of the first Meditation, a state of bliss due to sexual maturity, there are four levels. "When I stay like this, I think:" This route can bring the sense And this Aggivessana, following this notion, this consciousness arises in me: "This is the path to enlightenment." Aggivessana, then I thought: "I fear this, An agogivessana, then I think: "I am not afraid of this pleasures, a pleasurable pleasure, unwholesome pleasures."

Then All-reaching multi-eating normally again, to Giac Thanh, sitting under a  Bodhi tree  in  Bodhgaya  ( Boudha Gaya ) and vowed to enter the not leave the seat until we can find out why The nucleus and mechanism of suffering. After 49 days of sitting meditation - despite being disturbed by Maharashtra - Siddhartha achieved complete enlightenment at the age of 35. From that point on, Siddhartha knew that he was a  Buddha , Enlightenment, and know that you will not be reborn. The Buddha's enlightened experience is recorded as follows in the scriptures according to his own words:

"... After the resurrection of energy (after the ascetic in vain), we focus liberation from the craving, unwholesome thoughts and attain the meditation, then the second jhana, the third jhana and the fourth jhana, but These feelings of bliss leave no trace in our minds.

When our mind is tranquil, purified, undefiled, sharp, steady, immobile, we direct it to memories and perceptions of past lives. I recall many previous lives, one, two, three, four, five, ..., hundred thousand previous lives, remember the cycles of the world. 'Where I lived, my name was like that, my family was like that, my profession, my social class ... I died like this ...'. This  knowledge (sa vidyā , pi.  Vijjā ) is the first we have achieved in the first watch ...

Then we focus on the birth and passing away of sentient beings. With the eyes of the gods, innocence, transcendence, beyond human limitations, we see that beings are formed and destroyed, ... beings are regenerated by karma. We realize that 'sentient beings who create akusala kamma through threefoldness - body, speech, mind - are sunk after death, rebirth in the land, hell. The beings who produce good karma - body, speech, and mind - are reborn in kusala, after death are on the heaven '... This second understanding has been achieved in the second.

Then we focus awareness on the destruction of pirated or (sa.  Asrava , pi.  Asava ) and recognized as true: 'This is suffering, this is the cause of suffering, this is the cessation of suffering, this is the way To eliminate suffering, 'and when one realizes this, one's mind escapes from desire, from the desire to exist, to escape from ignorance. I understand the truth 'Regeneration we have, my life is completed, I have completed what to do. This life (suffering) we have overcome '... This third understanding we have achieved in the third ... ".

The Enlightened One at that time knew that his enlightened experience could not use words or any other way of expressing himself, so the Buddha continued quietly meditating under the Bodhi Tree. In the end, when asked by many places, the Buddha decided to turn the  Falun Dafa . The Buddha now bears the name  of Shakyamuni - "the author of Shakyamuni." Then the Buddha met again the five monks, who realized that the Buddha was completely changed. Through the radiance radiating from the body of the Buddha, they know that this former practitioner who attained enlightenment, found the way out of suffering, the way that they can not find out by ascetic practice. They asked for the teachings and compassion for sentient beings, the Buddha ended the silence. END=NAM MO AMITABHA BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH TAM GIAC.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA PURELAND=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.16/6/2017.
