The Blessing of Retribution.9. Buddha Theory of Blessings Retribution. Vietnamese translation by Thich Tam Chau. *** I have heard: (2) Once upon a time the Buddha was staying in a vihara of the Sakyan family, in the country of Kapilavastu, with one thousand two hundred and fifty bhikkhus. (3) With the vows of the Vietnamese dwarves, (4) in the month of September, temporarily complete, the Buddha came out from the Zen room and went to the trees of Mr. Ky Da in his garden. Level of Solitude (5) Sa Ve country (Sràvasti). When he came between the boundary of the two countries, there was a very large tree, named Ni-Ku-Type (Nyagrodha) (6). That tree is one hundred and twenty miles (7). The square, round space of the branches and leaves covered about sixty miles. The fruit on that tree is about several thousand boxes and, these fruits are fragrant and sweet like honey. Especially when the ripe fruits fall, people pick them up and eat them. All diseases are cured and eyes are clear. At that time, the Buddha sat under a tree to rest, the monks went to pick fruit to eat, the Buddha said to Ananda: "I see heaven, earth, and all things as having perfect conditions!" Mr. Ananda heard the Buddha say that, he immediately went ahead, bowed to the Buddha, knelt down and said to the Buddha: "Lord, You have just talked about the two words 'acceptance', so what is fullness? - fate? Now that we disciples want to hear about these conditions, we hope that the World-Honored One can fully explain it to us and to civilize those who have never heard of it." The Buddha told Ananda: "Precious! Precious instead! If you want to listen to these conditions, you should be one-minded and listen carefully!" The Buddha said to Ananda: "People doing good deeds are like this tree. This tree naturally has only one seed, gradually growing, picking fruit infinitely. Nowadays, noble people like the King, the Elder, are from the place of worshiping the Buddha, inheriting the Three Jewels (8) before. Nowadays, people who are very rich, possessing unlimited wealth, are obtained from their previous practice of giving alms. Nowadays, people who have a long life, are free of diseases, and have a strong body are obtained from the previous practice of maintaining the precepts. Nowadays, people who are virtuous, have good beauty, are first in appearance, are soft in body, have a clean mouth, and people can see their thoughts, and there is no one who is not happy and does not look happy. Tired of the eyes, it's from the place where I worked hard to do the humiliation before. Nowadays, those who practice, are not lazy, and are eager to do meritorious deeds, which are obtained from where they were before by diligently doing good deeds. Now those who are at ease, are at ease, their words and deeds are true, It is from the place where I worked hard to do meditation before. At present, talented people are wise, understand the profound Dharma, praise the mysterious meaning, enlighten the dark people; people hear their words, no one can not visit, trust, propagate and trust as treasure, which comes from the place of cultivating intellectual conduct. Nowadays, people with clear voices are from the place where they used to sing the Three Jewels of merit in the past. Now, those who are pure and have no disease, come from the former place of benevolence..." At that time, Ananda said to the Buddha: "Lord World-Honored One, what is loving-kindness? " The Buddha said to Ananda: "One is to have a kind heart towards sentient beings as a mother loves her child. Second, have compassion for the world, and want them to have an idea of ​​the path of liberation. Third, the mind often rejoices. Fourth, the mind often protects and remembers everything, that all may not be transgressed. That is loving-kindness.” The Buddha said to Ananda: "Those who have a large body have previously had respect for others. Those who are small in stature, are formerly used to look down on people. People with bad body shape used to be angry with people. Those who are born ignorant are formerly uneducated. Those who are stupid, are not used to teaching people before. Those who are dumb, are formerly slanderers. Those who are blind, have not used to listen to the sutras before. The people who made me come, were previously unpaid debts. The lowly people did not respect the Three Jewels in the past. The bad black people are formerly blocking the light of the Buddha. Those born in the land of the nude, used to wear thin clothes, sassy, ​​and break into temples, stupas, and viharas. People born in the country have the custom of tying their feet like a horseshoe. They used to wear shoes and clogs before the Buddha. Those born in the country have the custom of piercing the chest, that in the past, although they gave alms to do good deeds, they still had regrets. The creatures born in the species of deer, species of deer, species of deer, etc. were formerly afraid of humans. The creatures of the dragons, who used to make fun of people. Those whose bodies have grown malignant cancers, which are difficult to cure, have been beaten up in the past. Those whom people see happy, who in previous lives saw people with joy in their hearts. Those whom people see are not happy, the previous life saw people without joy. Those who were shackled by the District-Quang, imprisoned in prisons, were in their previous lives as humans who often locked and bound sentient beings, causing sentient beings not to follow their own free will. People with cleft lip, who are old fishers, make fish with cleft lip. And, those who hear good words, but don't want to hear them in their hearts, but in those words, must speak out, and confuse the minds of those who are eager to hear and believe in the sutras, then they will be reborn. into the cocked-eared dog." The Buddha said to Ananda: "There are fools in this world who, listening to the teachings of the Dharma, refuse to acknowledge them, and will later be reborn in the race of donkeys and long-eared horses. Poor people, who are greedy for food alone, then have to be reborn in the hungry ghosts, and if they are born as humans, they will be poor and starving, their clothes do not cover themselves, and they cannot eat enough. Those who, by themselves, eat good food, give others bad food, then will be reborn in pigs, dogs, and beetles. Those who plunder human animals, After that, they will have to be reborn in the goats, have their skins stripped alive, and pay their debts first. Those who often kill, will later be reborn as ephemeral insects on the surface of the water, being born in the morning and dying in the evening. Those who often steal people's possessions, then have to be reborn in the ranks of servants, buffaloes, and horses, and pay their debts first. Those who commit adultery with their wives or daughters, when they die in hell, their sons have to hug a copper pole, and their daughters have to lie on an iron bed. When they come out of hell, they will often be born in a lowly place. and must be reborn in chickens and ducks. Those who often lie and propagate people's bad deeds, when they die in hell, they must have hot copper water poured into their mouths, stretch their tongues, force buffaloes and plows up, until they come out, they must fall into hell. - Being born into owls, vultures, people hear the cry, no one is not afraid and all say that they are transformed, cursed to death. Those who often drink alcohol, commit thirty-six sins (9) , die and fall into the Phi-Thi prison (boiling water), when they come out, they are reborn in the orangutan; after becoming human again, stupid, living a life knowing nothing, husband and wife do not get along, quarreling, or fighting each other (divorce) and after death again and again fall in in doves, cable birds. Those who are greedy for the strength of others, then have to be reborn among the elephants." The Buddha said to Ananda: "Those who are at the top of the continents and districts, who take possession of the locomotives, either arrest the innocent, or encroach on the people, capture and arrest them. beat people with sticks, forced them to take them away, and denounced useless things, then put them in chains, detained, and made people uncomfortable and relaxed. to go to hell, The body suffered for several thousand billion years, the guilt was gone, and again had to fall into the water-ox (water buffalo), pierce the nostrils, pull the boat, pull the cart, beat with the stick, pay the penalty first. ". The Buddha said to Ananda: "Those who are not pure are from the pig life. Those who are frugal, greedy are not pure, straight, come from the dog life. The strong-willed, self-destructive, are from the goat life. Those who have foul-smelling breaths come from the fish life, the third life. Those who are evil, with a mind that is difficult to understand, come from the python and snake life. Those who like to eat delicious food, or kill living beings, without loving-kindness, come from the lives of wolves, leopards, foxes, and eagles. People who are stillborn, injured fetuses-troubled, life is not much, life momentum died early, Had to fall into the three paths for several thousand thousands of eons, the Buddha taught that: those types of people in their previous lives used to hunt, burn mountains and forests, find nests, break eggs, cast nets to catch fish, and kill all. people. Oh! Desire for the flesh of sentient beings, to let oneself eat and drink, but often suffer short-term retribution, in this life, in this life, in another life, there is no appointment to escape, so be careful, so be careful. kidney! It's so sad that I can't say enough!" The Buddha again said to Ananda: "Whatever merit you do, it will be applied to you. Burning incense, meeting, chanting, practicing religion should not hire people; If you make false vows, like hiring someone to eat for you, where can you be full but not be hungry? Burning fresh, clean incense, thinking it's the mind-scent, absorbing all thoughts into one-pointedness of mind, no longer having mixed thoughts, and lighting a lamp that will never go out, will realize the three attainments (10). ) , no problem. Burning incense, worshiping boys, reading sutras, offering things are common practice. If you give alms again, you will be blessed. The gods will welcome you, all evil will be withdrawn, all demons will be cleansed, and you will not dare to face it. Those who are lazy, while having peace and harmony, do not have a progressive mind, one day get sick, or have something unfavorable and good, then they want to burn incense and pray and consider it to be a blessing. doing good deeds, so when the gods have not yet descended, all the ghosts have come to compete with each other for how much to touch, to make all changes, strange. For these reasons, people should often be diligent! Sin and happiness follow me, like a shadow in the picture. Planting a root of happiness is like this tree, which has only one seed, but has infinite fruit. Give a part, get many times. That is what I say truthfully, without a hint of lies!” At that time, the Buddha said the chant that: sages or alms-giving, self-help angels; For one is tenfold, Peaceful and long life Today giving much alms, That happiness cannot be measured; They will all become Buddha-Paths, and will be freed from all ten directions. Human-conditional union should only be the body: Five precepts (11), ten good (12), except for anger. Do not expect people to promise, self-made, world-worldly Glory, like floating clouds. Round-round five roads like wheels, Tell what life-span, regret gold and silver. Heaven and earth are still in ruins, body jars, Well keep the precepts, are very precious. Don't be greedy for wealth..., dishonor, mistake people The beings of the three realms (13) are like goats; Go, back five ways body-dissolution, Destiny is fast, the water is not often flowing. Do evil very quickly, suffer for a long time, Fall into the hot oil cauldron hell. Preventing heart, endurance, far away from calamity, … Sin inside, unpleasant suffering! The Buddha told Ananda: "People in this world have no wisdom, so they have to reincarnate in birth and death. Because of the flesh-and-blood eyes, they do not know sin and happiness. Now I use the eye of the path (the eye of the path) to see the retribution of sins and blessings from countless eons to this body, as clear as looking at the lapis lazuli in my hand, all clear inside and out. no more doubting thoughts!” At this point, Ananda immediately adjusted his clothes, went to the Buddha, bowed to the Buddha, and said to the Buddha: "Lord, World-Honored One, the World-Honored One has expounded to us this sutra, but this sutra What should it be called?". The Buddha told Ananda: "This sutra is called the Wheel-Changing of the Five Paths and is also called the Sin-Blessing-Retribution Sutra. If there are good men and good women who read, recite, and propagate this sutra, they will gain immeasurable merit. In the future, they will be able to see, worship, serve and make offerings to thousands of Buddhas. In the good life (14) he will not fall into the eight tribulations (15), the three paths, and will attain Precepts, Concentrations, and Wisdoms. The Buddha has said this sutra, five hundred bhikkhus, smuggled-karma (afflictions) clean, open mind; seven hundred Bhikkhu-Khikkhu-Ni, the Tu-Da-Ham (16); eight hundred Arhat (17) , attaining the Bodhisattva path (18) ; The gods, the dragon gods, and the twelve thousand Thanh-believers (good men), and the six thousand Thanh-believers (good women) gathered under the tree at that time, all entered the sign. The relics of the Way and the Bhikkhus, the Bhikkhus, the Upasakas (19), and the Upasikas (20) have all witnessed the A-Na-Ham path and fruition. (21) Heavens, Dragons, Demons-Gods, the world-people-people heard the Buddha preach this mysterious Dharma, everyone said: "Very precious!". And, immediately began to worship the Buddha, circumambulated the Buddha three times, and happily withdrew. Notes: (1) Buddha is a common noun, only for those who have the ability to be fully enlightened in three aspects: self-enlightenment, enlightenment and perfect happiness. The present enlightened being is Shakyamuni Buddha (Sākya Muni). The customary name is Si-Dat-Ta (Siddhartha). He is the son of King Pure Sanskrit (Suddodana) son of Queen Ma-Gia (Maya), Ca-Duy-La-Ve (Kapilavastu) of Central-India. He was born early in the morning on the full moon day of the fourth lunar month, 2581 years ago (1957) when he left home at the age of 29; 35 years of age religiously; He preached the Dharma for 45 years, and at the age of 80, he entered Nirvana in the Sala forest. In the sutras there are two words "Buddha speaks", which refers to the Buddha Shakyamuni speaking. As this sutra is said by the Buddha Shakyamuni himself, in accordance with the conditions that he said. This sutra is a sutra number 747 in the Great Tripitaka. This sutra is called enough: Sutra Luan-Chuan Five Paths, Crime Retribution. Now shortening the title is "Sin of Retribution". This sutra the Buddha clearly states the causes of doing evil and doing good (doing evil, doing good) of sentient beings and sentient beings will have to suffer or enjoy good and bad retribution, adapt to that cause and go. , again, up and down around (rotating) in the five paths (five paths): Hell, self-demons, animals, humans, and heaven. (2) I personally heard: After the Buddha entered Nirvana a short time, the Venerable Monks gathered together to recite the Buddha's teachings.

(4) Dan-Viet (Dànapati): That is, the donor. A benefactor who has a sincere heart and is equal in giving, through his merits, will overcome poverty and suffering. (5) Mr. Ky-Da's tree and Mr. Grade-Co's garden: Mr. Anàtapindika was named Tu-Dat-Da (Sudatta), from the country of Sràvasti, because he used to help lonely people, so his contemporaries gave him the name that mark. When he met the Buddha and heard the Dharma in the country of Ma-Yet-Da, he immediately invited the Buddha to return to his home country to preach the Dharma and save birth. In order to have a place where the Buddha and the Sangha resided, he had to buy land from the Crown Prince Ky Da (Jeta) at a very expensive price, which was to pave the ground with gold. Mr. Level-Co-Doc made up his mind to do as he said, carrying gold to pave the ground and then store the vihara as an offering. And the trees by Mr. Ky-Da develop the heart to worship. Therefore, when the Buddha came to this place, he said to Ananda: "This garden land was bought by Mr. Alone-Alone, and this forest is offered by Mr. Ky-Da. Two people with one heart and one who are devoted to virtue, from now on, this place should be called the tree of Mr. Ky-Da and the garden of Mr. Level-Co-Doc.
