Sutta forty-Two Chapters. The Fourteenth and Twelve Chapters of Sutra.8. Vietnamese translation (4) by Thich Tam Chau *** Preface of the Sutta When the Buddha attained enlightenment, he thought to himself: "Abandoning craving, attaining peace, that's the best." He abides in great meditation, subduing the demons. He lived in the Loc garden near the city of Ba-la-complaint that turned the wheel of the Dharma, preached the Four Noble Truths, and converted his group of Kieu-tran-like five people to attain enlightenment. There were bhikkhus who asked their doubts, and that Buddha only taught to make everyone enlightened. They all joined hands in reverence and obeyed the Buddha's teachings. CHAPTER FIRST: EXPORTING THE WITNESS OF THE BUDDHISM Buddha taught: "Farewell to relatives, leave the family, understand the truth of the mind, reach the root of understanding the unconditioned dharma, that is called a samana. The recluse usually keeps the two hundred and fifty precepts, all actions are pure, follows the Four Truths, and becomes an Arahant. An Arahant can fly in the air, manifest miracles, and live a lifetime. Wherever he is, he touches the whole world. The lower fruit is Anaham. The An-a-Ham, when his life was over, he ascended to the nineteenth heaven and then attained Arahantship. The lower fruit is Tu-da-ham. The Tu-da-ham is still born once in heaven and once back in the human realm, and then attained Arahantship. The lower fruit is Tu-da-complete. The Tu-da-completed seven times died, seven new births certified Arahantship. "When one has cut off craving [that craving] is like a severed limb, it can no longer be used." CHAPTER SECOND: EXCEPTIONING SUCCESSFULLY, The Buddha taught: "The monk who has left the home life cuts off sex, abandons attachment, understands the source of the mind, attains the profound truth of the Buddha, understands the unconditioned, has no place in it. attained, there is no place to seek outside, and the mind is not attached to the Way, nor create more karma, no place to think, no creation, no cultivation or realization, no experience of fruition, naturally high to the extreme. That's called religion." CHAPTER THIRD: Abandoning lust The Buddha taught: "One who shaves off his hair and beard becomes a recluse, receives the Dharma, abandons worldly possessions, and begs for food. Eat only once a day, stay under the tree for only one night, avoid repeating. It is because we know that attachment and lust make people stupid.” CHAPTER FOUR: DISCLAIMER OF GOOD The Buddha taught: "There are ten things that are called good by sentient beings, and ten things that are called evil. What are ten? The three things created by the body are: killing, stealing, and lust. The four things created by the mouth are: double-tongued, evil talk, lying, and fabricating. The three things created by the mind are: jealousy, anger, and ignorance. Doing these ten things does not conform to the Holy Way, so it is called evil. If you can stop these ten evil deeds, called the ten good deeds." CHAPTER FIVE: TRANSFORMING WEIGHT TO SMALL The Buddha said: "People have mistakes that they don't know how to repent, just get rid of them, then sins accumulate in the body, like water pouring into the sea, every day more and more. extensive. If a person who is at fault realizes his mistake, abandons evil and does good, then sin will destroy itself; like a sweaty disease, gradually being relieved.” CHAPTER SIX: Forbearance of Evil, Not Anger The Buddha taught: "The wicked hear good deeds, so they come and harass them. Bhikkhus, be quiet and bear no anger and blame. He who does evil is bringing his own evil." CHAPTER SEVEN: Doing Evil Meets Evil The Buddha taught: "There are people who hear the Buddha uphold the Way and are very benevolent, so they come to scold. The Buddha was silent and did not answer. Waiting for the person to finish scolding, the Buddha asked: You bring an offering to someone, if the person doesn't accept it, will the gift come back to you? “Answer: Yes. Buddha said: Now that you come to scold me, I do not accept it, that is, you bring the disaster to yourself. Just as sound responds to sound, shadow follows image, never leaving each other. Be careful not to do bad things.” CHAPTER EIGHT: Making Yourself Ugly Buddha said: "A fierce person harms a good person, just like looking up at the sky and spitting. That saliva did not reach the sky, but fell on me. He is like a man who blows dust against the wind. That dust does not reach others, but clings to himself. Therefore, it is not possible to harm the good, but disaster will return to the wicked." CHAPTER NINE: ON THE RESOURCES OF UNDERSTANDING Buddhism taught: "With much knowledge and understanding, being attached to the Way, it will be difficult to understand the Way. If you persist in serving the religion, you will understand the Tao very deeply.” CHAPTER TEN: SUCCESSFUL SUPPORT The Buddha taught: "When you see the generosity of others, and support with joy, you will receive great blessings. "A recluse asked the Buddha, 'Is this blessing going to end? Buddha said: "Just like the fire from a torch, hundreds of thousands of people come to bait for cooking or lighting, the other torch remains the same. The same is true of virtue.” CHAPTER Eleven: Serving a Different Meal The Buddha said: "Giving rice to a hundred evil people is not as good as giving food to a good person. “Giving to thousands of good people is not as good as giving to one person who keeps the five precepts. “Giving to ten thousand people to observe the five precepts is not as good as making offerings to one Tu-da-turner. “Offering hundreds of thousands of Tuda-rounds is not as good as making offerings to one Tu-da-Ham. “Offering thousands of thousands of siddhas is not as good as making offerings to one anagami. “Offering to one Arahant is not as good as making an offering to an Arahant. “An offering to ten billion Arahants is not equal to making an offering to a Pratyekabuddha. “Offering hundreds of millions of Pratyekabuddhas, not equal to making offerings to a Buddha of three times. Making offerings to thousands of kotis of Buddhas in the three generations is not equal to making offerings to a person who has no thoughts, no standing, no cultivation, and no realization. CHAPTER Twelfth: It's difficult to STRONG SHOULD TRUTH Buddha taught: "People have twenty things that are difficult to do, difficult to achieve: 1. It is difficult for people to do charity work. 2. Being rich and noble, it is difficult to learn the Way. 3. It is difficult to dare to give up life to die. 4. It is difficult to see Buddhist scriptures. 5. Being born when Buddha was born is difficult. 6. Self-control of lust is difficult. 7. It is difficult to see good things without expecting. 8. Being humiliated without being angry is difficult. 9. It is difficult to have influence without relying on it. 10. It's difficult to deal with things without a carefree mind. 11. It is difficult to study widely and still refer to many. 12. Exterminating conceit is difficult. 13. It is difficult not to despise people who have not yet learned. 14. Keeping an equal mind is difficult. 15. It's hard not to say bad things. 16. Meeting good knowledge is difficult. 17. It is difficult to see the nature of studying religion. 18. According to other people's chemistry is difficult. 19. It is difficult to see the scene without being moved. 20. Good understanding of means is difficult. CHAPTER Twelfth: ASKING ABOUT SUCCESSFUL LIFE A recluse asked the Buddha: "By what causes and conditions can one be known to live well, to understand the truth?" Buddha taught: "Keeping the mind pure, the will stable, can understand the truth. Like cleaning a mirror clean all the dirty places, naturally bright. If you give up sex and desire, of course you will know your destiny.” CHAPTER FOURteen: ASKING GOOD ASKING A recluse asked the Buddha: "What is good? What's the biggest thing?" Buddha taught: "Following the Way, keeping the truth, that's a good thing. The mind that conforms to the Way is called greatness.” CHAPTER Fifteenth: POWER AND LIGHT A recluse asked the Buddha: “What is a lot of power? What is the wisest?" Buddha said: "Patience is a lot of strength, because it does not carry a fierce heart, but it is more peaceful and healthy. Ring people do not do aggressive things, of course they are respected by others. “The mind that is free of all defilements, pure and free from any defilement, is the most discerning. From the time when there was no heaven and earth until now, everywhere in the ten directions, there is nothing that cannot be seen, not known, not heard, and has attained Omniscience. That can be called wisdom.” CHAPTER SIXTH: BU LAU LOI WAS Taught by the Buddha: “People embrace attachment and lust, so they cannot see the Way. For example, the water is clear, and now stirs it with their hands, people who go there can't see their projection under the water. People allow attachment and lust to disturb them, and the uncleanness of their hearts arise, so they cannot see the Way. You ascetics should give up attachment and lust. After all craving has been eliminated, the Way can be seen.” CHAPTER SEVEN: Morning to Night Buddha said: "Anyone who understands the Way is like a person carrying a torch into a dark house. The darkness disappears, leaving only light. When a student of the Way understands the truth, his ignorance and darkness must end, leaving only clear wisdom." CHAPTER Eighteen: THINKING THINKING WITHOUT FEELINGS Buddha taught: "My teaching is to be mindful of the non-conceptual thought, to practice the conduct of non-action, to speak the wordless, to practice where there is no practice. Those who understand are close to the Way, those who are ignorant are far from the Way. The place to speak ends, things are not bound. Just a slight deviation, and the moment is gone.” CHAPTER NINETEEN: OBSERVATION OF THE TRUTH The Buddha taught: "Contemplating heaven and earth, thinking and remembering impermanence. Contemplating the world, thinking and remembering impermanence. Examine the intuition and see that it is Bodhi. Such a place can quickly attain enlightenment.” CHAPTER Twentieth: Words Are Free The Buddha taught: "Think of the four great substances in the body, each of which has its own name, and in the end none of them is me. What I didn't have was just an illusion." CHAPTER Twentieth and Eleventh: Greedy and Loss of Origin Buddha taught: “People follow sex, seek fame. When you gain fame, the body is no longer there. Greed for worldly fame but refused to learn the Way, just wasted effort and labored body. Just like burning incense, although the scent can be heard, the incense has already burned out. Behold, the fire that destroys the body is lurking behind me.” CHAPTER Twenty-Twentieth: Talents Treat Suffering The Buddha taught: "Wealth and lust come, but people refuse to let go, just like a knife with a little honey, not enough to make a delicious meal, children lick it must have his tongue cut off by harm." CHAPTER TWENTY THIRD: The Buddha said, "People are bound to their wives and children, and their home is better than being confined to a prison. Prisoners still have a time to be released, wife and children can not be separated for a moment. Where is attachment to beauty, not afraid to wander? Even if it falls into the tiger's mouth, he is also willing to accept it. He sank himself into the mud, so he was called an ordinary man. Passing that door is the Arhat who emerges from the ceiling. CHAPTER Twenty-Fourty: Concealment of Consciousness The Buddha taught: “Among desires and attachments, nothing is as profound as beauty. Beauty causes lust like nothing else. Luckily it's only one. If there were two such things, there would be no one everywhere who could follow the religion.” CHAPTER Twentieth and Fifty-Fifth: FIRE BURNING THE BODY The Buddha taught: "A person who is infatuated with lust is like a man who carries a torch against the wind. CHAPTER Twelfth and Sixth: THIEN MA HISTORY THE BUDDHA A deva brought a very beautiful girl to the Buddha, wanting to destroy the Buddha's will. Buddha said: "Hey, leather bag of dirty things, why have you come here? Scat. I don't use it." Thien ma was even more respectful, so he asked about the truth. When the Buddha preached to him, [he] immediately attained Tu-da-complete. CHAPTER Twelfth and Seventy: Unattainable Buddha taught: "A person seeking the Way is like a tree dropped in water, following the flow. If it is not entangled on the banks, is not taken away by people, is not hindered by demons, is not swept in by a whirlpool, and does not rot, then I can say for sure that the tree will drift into the sea. If a person learns the Way, if he is not seduced by sex, is not harassed by evil things, and is diligent in the unconditioned, then I can say for sure that he will attain the Way." CHAPTER Twelfth and Eighty: DON'T GIVE UP THE MIND The Buddha taught: "Do not believe in the mind, mind cannot be trusted. Be careful not to be close to lust, being close to lust is bound to bring about disaster. After attaining Arahantship, only then can you trust your mind." CHAPTER Twelfth and Ninth: Right Consciousness Excluding Beauty Buddha taught: "Be careful not to look at women, nor speak in contact. If you need to talk, you should keep a righteous mind and think: I am a recluse, in the evil world I must be like a lotus flower, free from mud. For old women, think like your mother; for older women, like sisters; or younger is thought of as a sister; Much younger than that, she thought she was her own daughter. Thinking like that, he had a mind of wanting to free them and extinguish all bad thoughts.” CHAPTER Thirty: Away From Fire The Buddha taught: "A person seeking the Way is like a man who wears a robe of dry grass. When the fire approaches, he must be careful to avoid it. Those who study the Way see lust and must avoid it.” CHAPTER THIRD TIENT ONE: STUDY FOR EXCEPTION There is a person who is lustful and wants to cut off his penis with his own hands. The Buddha taught him: "If you cut off the penis, it's not as good as cutting off the mind. Because the mind is like a ruler, if the ruler stops, then the followers must also stop. The evil mind doesn't stop, what's the use of cutting off the penis?" The Buddha preached a verse for that person: Sex is born of mind, Mind is born of thought. Thoughts, thoughts are still, No form, no sex. The Buddha said: "That verse was preached by the Buddha Kassapa." CHAPTER Thirty-Twentieth: Excluding Words No longer Fear Buddha said: "People are born to worry because of craving, because worry gives birth to fear. If you leave craving, what's there to worry about, and what's to be afraid of?" Chapter Thirty-Thirty-Three: WITNESS BREAKING FAMILY The Buddha taught: “A person seeking the Way is like a person who fights against thousands of people. Put on armor and go, or with fear, or retreat halfway, or fight and die, or return victorious. The recluse who studies the Way should keep his heart firm, diligently and courageously, not afraid of what is to come, destroy demons, and attain the path and fruition." CHAPTER Thirty-Fourth: The Middle Way A recluse at night chanted the Maitreya Sutras of the Buddha Kassapa. The chanting sounded sad and urgent, in regret, wanting to lose heart. Buddha asked: "When you were at home, what did you do? Answer: "I like to play the lute." Buddha asked, "What if the rope is too loose?" Answer: "Do not call." "What if the rope is too tight?" Answer: "Loss of voice." “No slack, no stretch, how about keeping it just right?” Answer: "All the sounds are loud enough." The Buddha said: "It's the same way as a monk who studies the Way. If the mind is properly regulated, then the path can be attained. As for the Way, if the mind is too strong, the body will be tired. The body is tired, the mind is all sad. If the mind is sad, the work will all retreat. Deeds have receded, sins are bound to increase. Should only be pure and peaceful, the path will not be lost." CHAPTER Fifty-fifth: EXCEPTING CONSTRUCTION The Buddha said: "Like a man who refines iron, he removes dirt and forges into objects. All that stuff is very good. In the same way, one who learns the Way and removes the impurities in his mind will be pure in conduct." CHAPTER Thirty-six: Being Taught Better Than Buddha taught: "People leave the evil paths, it is difficult to be human. “Being a human, avoiding the body of a girl and becoming a man is difficult. “Being a man, having all six faculties is difficult. “Having all six faculties, it is difficult to be born in the central country. “It is difficult to be born in the central country, and to meet the Buddha to be born is difficult. “Meeting the birth of Buddha, understanding the truth is difficult. “Understanding the doctrine, generating strong faith is difficult. “Having generated strong faith, generating bodhicitta is difficult. “Having generated the Bodhi mind, it is difficult to reach the point of non-cultivation. CHAPTER Thirty-seventh: Keeping the Precepts Near Buddhism teaches: "Buddhist disciples, although many thousands of miles away from the Buddha, always remember to think of the precepts, and they will all attain results. As for those who are close to me, often see me, but do not follow the precepts, and in the end cannot attain the Way." Chapter Thirty-eighth: With Birth and Death The Buddha asked a recluse: "How long is one's life?" Said, "For a few days." Buddha said, "You have not understood the Way." The Buddha asked another ascetic: "How long is one's life?" Said, "In just one meal." Buddha said, "You have not understood the Way." The Buddha asked another ascetic: "How long is one's life?" Say: "Only in the breath in and out." Buddha said: "Very good! He really understood the religion.” CHAPTER Thirty-Nine: False Teachings Buddha taught: "People who study Buddhism, for the Buddha's teachings, should accept them. Like when eating honey, Both the inside and the outside are sweet. It is the same with my scriptures.” CHAPTER Fifty: A homage by the Buddha's Mind: "As a monk walks around reverently, don't be like an ox pulling a mill, although his body goes around, his mind does not follow. If the mind was reverent, there would be no need to go around like that.” CHAPTER Forty-first: EARNING IMMEDIATELY The Buddha taught: “A person who studies the Way is like a buffalo carrying a heavy load in the middle of deep mud. Granted, he was very tired, but he had to be careful not to look sideways. Until we get out of the mud, we can relax and rest. The recluse should visualize sex as more dangerous than the mud. Let's be upright in heart and think of the Way, only to be able to escape suffering." CHAPTER Forty-Two: Knowing Life Is a Miracle The Buddha taught: "I regard the throne of kings as dust through a crevice, treasures, gold and jewels like gravel, brocade clothes like rags of silk, considers the great celestial world as an apple, and the water of Lake Anou as oil for the feet. “I regard the door of means as a treasure of transformation, I regard the Supreme Vehicle as gold and silk in a dream, Buddhism as a flower in front of my eyes, and meditation as a pillar supporting Mount Sumeru. Nirvana is like waking up from a night's sleep, viewing the perception of right and wrong as the six dancing dragons, considering equality as the only true position, and the practice of morality as a four-season tree.
