Kevaddha (Perseverance) Sutra. (Kevaddha sutta) 1. Thus I heard. Once the Blessed One was staying at Nalanda in the Pavrikampa garden. At that time the young lay follower Kevaddha came to the Blessed One, bowed down to him, and sat down to one side. After sitting down to one side, the young lay follower Kevaddha said to the Blessed One: - World-Honored One, this Nalandà is prestigious and prosperous, the people are crowded and the Blessed One is faithful. World-Honored One, it would be good if the World-Honored One only taught a bhikkhu to show the superior human dharma and transformative supernatural powers. As a result, this Nalandà will gain more and more followers of the Blessed One. Having heard this, the Blessed One said to the young lay follower Kevaddha: - Kevaddha, I do not teach the bhikkhus this dharma: "Bhikkhus, you should show the superior human dharmas, the supernatural powers of transformation for you. layman in white". 2. For the second time, the young layman Kevaddha said to the Blessed One: - The Blessed One, I do not want to disturb the Blessed One. I just said: "World Honored One, this Nalandà is prestigious and prosperous, the people are crowded and respectful. The Blessed One, it would be good if the World-Honored One only taught a bhikkhu to show the superior human dharma, Thanks to that, this Nalandà will be more faithful to the World-Honored One." For the second time, the Blessed One said to the young lay follower Kevaddha: "Kevaddha, I do not teach these bhikkhus this dharma: "Bhikkhus, you should display the human dhamma, the supernatural powers of transformation for the monks. layman in white". 3. For the third time, young layman Kevaddha Bach World Religion: - Bach World Religion, I do not want to disturb the Blessed One. I just said: "World Honored One, this Nalandà is prestigious and prosperous, the people are crowded and respectful. The Blessed One, it would be good if the World-Honored One only taught a bhikkhu to show the superior human dharma, metamorphosis. Thanks to that, this Nalandà will gain more and more people who believe in the Blessed One." - Hey, Kevaddha, there are these three miracles that I myself have enlightened and preached. What are the three? divine powers, teach miracles 4. Hey Kevaddha, what is the transformation of miracles?Hey Kevaddha, in the world there are Male-stilts who can witness the miracles: one body appears many bodies, many bodies appear one body; Transfiguration, transfiguring across walls, walls, and mountains, as if passing through space; Apparating and rising, crossing land as in water, walking on water without sinking as walking on land; sitting cross-legged - growing old in the air like a bird; with two hands touching and touching the sun and moon; such things with great divine power, such great majesty, can fly themselves to the Brahma world. Some faithful people saw that bhikkhu manifesting miraculous powers: one body manifesting many bodies, many bodies appearing one body: manifesting, transforming, passing through walls, through walls, and through mountains as if passing through space. ; Apparate emerges, crosses land as in water, walks on water do not sink like walking on land; sitting cross-legged walking on space like a bird, with hands touching and touching the sun and moon; Things with such majestic divine power, such great divine majesty, can fly themselves to the Brahma world. 5. The faithful person said to a person who did not have faith: "This is so wonderful, Venerable Sir! I myself have seen a Male-stilts witness the miracles, "one body manifests many bodies, many bodies appear one body, ... can fly to the Brahma realm by himself". Those who do not have faith can say to those who have faith: "Sir, there is a spell called Gandhhāri. Thanks to the spell of manifesting many bodies, many bodies appear one body... fly to the Brahma world". Hey Kevaddha, what do you think? Can a person without faith talk to a person of faith like that? "Venerable Sir, it can be said so. "Kevaddha, it is because we see the danger in the transformation of the supernatural that we are bored, ashamed, and afraid of the transformation of the supernatural. 6. Hey Kevaddha, what is the mind of the mind? In the world, Kevaddha, there is a monk who speaks of mind, speaks of mental states, speaks of contemplation, speaks of the thinking of other sentient beings, of other people: "Thus is your will". Someone with faith sees a bhikkhu speaking about mental factors, expressing the thinking and expressing the thinking of other sentient beings, of other people: "Thus is your will, this is your will, such is your mind". 7. That faithful person said to a person who did not have faith: "Hey, venerable, it's wonderful! Hey, fake, it's so rare that the great miracle, the great majesty of the recluse! I have seen a bhikkhu speak to the mind, to the mental factors, to the thinking and to the thinking of other sentient beings, to the thoughts of other beings, to others: "Thus is your intention, this is your intention. It is your heart, so is your mind.” A person who has no faith may say to a person of faith: “Venerable sir, there is a spell called Maniko, thanks to this incantation, the bhikkhu speaks. mind, speak of mental factors, speak of thinking, and speak of the thinking of other sentient beings, of other people... "This is your will, this is your mind." Hey Kevaddha, what do you think? Can a person who has no faith say that you have such faith? "Venerable Sir, can you say so?" "Kevaddha, I myself see the danger in letting go of psychic powers that I am disgusted with, ashamed of, and disgusted with. 8. Hey Kevaddha, what is the teaching of miracles? In the world a bhikkhu taught as follows: "Think like this, don't think like that; pay attention like this, don't act like that; get rid of this, realize this. attain and abide in the other". This, Kevaddha, is called the teaching of supernatural powers. 9. Hey Kevaddha, now in Germany's life as the Tathagata appears as A-la-Han Chief Justice... (paragraph 9-43 is similar to the Sa-Mon fruit, section 40 - 74). 44. When the self-contemplation has released the five hindrances that joyful birth; due to joy should be happy; due to the joyful mind, the body is despised; by the body of peace, happy life; due to happy life, the mind is calm. The Male-stilts, separated from sex, separated from evil, unwholesome dharmas, attained and stayed in the first meditation, a state of joy and happiness born of separation from sex with four reach. A bhikkhu permeates, drenches, and fills his body with the joy and happiness born of seclusion, and there is no part of his whole body that is not permeated by that joy and happiness born of seclusion. 45. Hey Kevaddha, like an adept bath-servant or a bath-servant disciple. After sprinkling the bath powder in the copper basin, immediately kneading it with water, the bath powder was soaked in wet water, kneaded with wet water, and soaked both inside and out with water, but not dripping. In the same way, Kevaddha, a bhikkhu permeates, drenches, and fills the body with that rapture and joy born of seclusion. Hey Kevaddha, This is called spiritual teaching. 50.... witness and stay in the fourth meditation... (such as the Sa-Mon, the sutras no. 77 - 81, except for the last sentence of each chapter). This, Kevaddha, is called the teaching of supernatural powers. 52. With a mind that is still, pure, uncontaminated, not afflicted, pliable, easy to use, firm, so calm, the Male-stilts lead the mind, direct the mind to the right position, right view.. (such as the Sa-Mon, the sutta no. 83)... This Kevaddha, so called the teaching of supernatural powers. 53....after the present life, there is no other life... (see the results of the Sa-Mon, section 84-98), except for the last sentence of each chapter). This, Kevaddha, is the teaching of supernatural powers. 67. Hey Kevaddha, these three miracles, I have enlightened myself and declared. Once upon a time, Kevaddha, a bhikkhu himself had the following question: "In this assembly of bhikkhus, the earth element, The bhikkhu went to the four great kings, and when he had arrived, he asked the four great heavenly kings: "Friends, where do these four great races - the earth element, the water element, the fire element, and the wind element - go after their transformation. completely destroyed?". Hearing this, Kevaddha, the four great kings said to that bhikkhu: "We do not know, bhikkhus, these four great elements - the earth element, the water element, the fire element, and the wind element - go. Where, after the complete extinction, there are Thirty-three gods who are superior and superior to us. These people may know where these four great races - the earth element... the wind element - go where. after the complete annihilation". 70. Kevaddha, that Male-stilts went to the Thirty-three gods, when he finished, he asked the Thirty-three gods, "Hey, sages, these four great strains - earth... wind element - where to go, after completely disappearing?". O Kevaddha, having heard this, The Thirty-three gods said to that bhikkhu: "Bhikkhu-stilts, we do not know where these four great races - earth element ... wind element - go, after they have completely disappeared. -stilts, there is a god who likes gods named Sakka who is superior and superior to us. This person can know where these four great races - earth element... wind element - go after completely disappearing." 71. This Kevaddha, that Male-stilts went to Sakka Devas named Sakka, when he finished, he immediately asked Sakka Devas named Sakka: "Hey sage, these four great races - earth element... wind element - where to go, after completely disappearing?". Having heard this, Kevaddha, the Devas named Sakka said to that bhikkhu: "Bhikkhus, I do not know where these four great races - earth element... wind element - go, after completely disappear, Male-stilts, there are gods named Yàma (Dama) more dominant, more hostile than me. This position can know these four great strains - earth element ... wind element - where to go, after completely disappearing.” 72. Hey Kevaddha, that Male-stilts went to the gods named Yàma (Dama) When finished, he asked the Devas: "Friends, where do these four great races - the earth element... the wind element - go, after they have completely disappeared?" Thien Yàma (Dama) said to the Male-stilts, "We do not know where those four great races - earth element ... wind element - go, after completely disappearing. Monk, there is a heavenly son named Suyàma who is superior and superior to us. This person can know these four great strains - earth element ... wind element - where to go, after completely disappearing." 73. Hey Kevaddha, that Male-stilt went to Thien Son Suyàma, after coming immediately asked God. Death of Suyàma: "Hey, sage, where are these four great races - the earth element... the wind element - where do you go? after its complete extinction?" Kevaddha, hearing this, the son of god Suyàma said to that bhikkhu: "Bhikkhus, I do not know where these four great races - the earth element... the wind element - go. , after completely disappearing. Monk, there is a heavenly son named Tusità who is superior and superior to us. This one may know these four great races - the earth element... the wind element - where they go, after they completely disappear." 74. Kevaddha, that bhikkhu went to the Tusità devas. Gods Tusità: "Friends, where do these four great races - earth element... wind element - go, after completely disappearing?" : "Bhikkhu-stilts, we do not know where these four great races - earth element ... wind element - go, after completely disappearing. There is, bhikkhu, a divine son named Santusita who has the upper hand, more hostile than us. This position can know these four great strains - earth element ... wind element - where to go, after completely disappearing." Son of God Santusita: "Hey, friend, where do these four great races - earth element... wind element - go, after completely disappearing?" Kevaddha, having heard this, the Son of Heaven Santusita said to Male-stilts. Then: "Bhikkhu-stilts, I do not know where those four great races - earth element ... wind element - go, after completely disappearing. Monk, there is a devas named Nimmânarati, superior and superior to me. They may know where these four great races - the earth element... the wind element - go, after they have completely disappeared.” 76. Kevaddha, that bhikkhu went to the Nimmânarati gods. asked the Nimmànarati Devas: Dear friends, where do these four great races - earth element... wind element - go after their complete extinction?" Kevaddha, having heard this, the Nimmànarati gods said to that bhikkhu: "O Male-stilts. -stilts we do not know the four great strains - earth element ... wind element - where to go, after completely disappearing. Monk, there is a heavenly son named Sunimmita who is superior and superior to us. This person can know these four great strains - earth element ... wind element - where do they go, after they completely disappear.” 77. Kevaddha, that Male-stilt went to the Son of Heaven Sunimmita. Son of the gods Sunimmita, "Friend, where do these four great races - earth element... wind element - go, after completely disappearing?" Kevaddha, having heard this, the Son of Heaven Sunimmita said to the Male-stilts. He said: "Bhikkhu, I do not know where these four great races - the earth element... the wind element - go, after complete annihilation. There are devas called Paranimmitavasavatti, bhikkhus, who are superior and superior to me. These four may know these four great races - earth element... wind element - where do they go after they completely disappear.” 78. Kevaddha, that Male-stilt went to the Paranimmitavasavatti devas, and when he had finished, he asked. Devas Paranimmitavasavatti (Lords of God): "Friends, where do these four great races - earth element... wind element - go, after they have completely disappeared?" Kevaddha, have you heard that? God Paranimmitavasavatti said to that bhikkhu: "Monk, I do not know - the earth element... the wind element - where to go, after completely disappearing. Monk, there is a divine son named Vasavatti who is superior and superior to us. This person can know these four great strains - earth element... wind element - where to go, 79. Kevaddha, that bhikkhu went to Vasavatti's son, and when he had arrived, he asked Vasavatti's son: "Hey, sage, these four great races - earth element... wind element - Where to go, after completely disappearing?" Kevaddha, hearing this, the heavenly son Vasavatti said to that bhikkhu, "Bhikkhu-stilts, we do not know those four great races - the earth element. .. Phong Dai - where to go, after completely disappearing. There are, bhikkhus, devas called Brahmā Kayikas who are superior and superior to us. These four can know these four great strains - earth element ... wind element - where to go, after completely disappearing. , the path leading to the Brahma world appeared.Kevaddha, that bhikkhu went to the Brahmā Kayika devas: "Friends, these four great races - the earth element... wind element - where to go, after completely disappearing?" Kevaddha, hearing of this, the Brahmā Kayika devas said to the Male-stilts: "Monk, we do not know these four great races - Earth Dai... Phong Dai - where to go, after completely disappearing. There is, bhikkhu, the Brahma, the great Brahma, the Omnipotent, the Supreme, the Eye of Change, the Supreme Venerable, the God, the Creator, the Creator, the Great Venerable, the Lord of all fates, the One who is free. , the ancestors of sentient beings have been and will be born. This one is more dominant, more hostile than us. This person can know these four great races of the earth element... the wind element - where do they go, after they have completely disappeared." - Friend, where is that great Brahma now? - Hey Male-stilts, we I don't know where Brahma is, why is there Brahma and where does Brahma come from. But, Male-stilts, when the million signs appear, when the light is born, when the aura appears, the time of Brahma appears. Blue light, aura showing that the Brahma general appeared before is like that. 81. Hey Kevaddha, not long ago, Great Brahma appeared. At that time, Kevaddha, that bhikkhu came to the great Brahma. When he had arrived, he immediately asked Brahma: "Friend, where do these four great races - the earth element... the wind element - go, after they have completely disappeared?" "Kevaddha, having heard this, the great Brahma said to that bhikkhu: 'Monk, I am the Brahma, the great Brahma, the Omnipotent, the Conqueror, the Change of Eyes, the Supreme Being, the God. The Creator, the Creator, the Master, the Great Honor, the Lord of all fates, the Self, the Patriarch of all living beings who have been and will be born." 82. Kevaddha, the second time that bhikkhu said to Brahma: "Friend, I do not ask: "Are you Brahma, Great Brahma, the Almighty, The Self, the Patriarch of all living beings was and will be born. ?", Kevaddha, at that time the great Brahma took that bhikkhu's hand, pulled it aside, and said to the bhikkhu: "Monk, the Brahmā Kayika devas see that there is nothing that Brahma cannot see, There is nothing Brahma does not understand, there is nothing Brahma does not witness. Therefore, in front of them, we have no answer: "Bhikkhu-stilts, I must not know where those four great races - earth element ... wind element - go, after completely disappearing". Therefore, bhikkhu, you have made a mistake, you have made a mistake, when you ignored the Blessed One and turned to someone else to answer that question. O Male-stilts, you should go to the Blessed One and ask that question, and uphold what the Blessed One answered." 84. Kevaddha, That bhikkhu, like a great athlete stretching out his bent arm, or retracting his stretched arm, disappeared in the Brahma world and appeared before me. Kevaddha, that bhikkhu bowed down to me and sat down to one side. Having sat down to one side, Kevaddha, that bhikkhu said to me: "World-Honored One, where do these four great races, the earth element... 85. Kevaddha, when I heard that, I said to that Male-stilts: "O Male-stilts, in the past, when the sea merchants sailed across the sea by boat, they often brought a bird that could see the shore. When the boat crossed the sea When they could not see the shore, the merchants immediately released the bird that could see the shore.The bird flew to the East, to the South, to the West, to the North, to the Above, to the Central directions. If the bird sees the surrounding shore, the bird will fly to that shore. If the bird does not see the surrounding shore, the bird flies back to the boat.” In the same way, bhikkhu, you have searched all the way to the Brahma world but have not found an answer to that question, so now return to the I. Male-stilts, the question should not be asked as follows: "World-Honored One, those four great races - earth element, water element, fire element, wind element - where do they go, after they disappear completely?" Monks, the question should be as follows: "Where is the earth element, the water element, the fire element, the wind element, the length and the short, the subtle, the coarse, the pure, the impure without standing feet? Where does both nama and rupa completely cease?" and this is the answer to this question: "Consciousness is invisible, boundless, pervading all bases. Here, the earth element, the water element, the fire element, and the wind element have no standing feet. Here, too, long, short, subtle, gross, pure, and impure. Here nama and rupa completely annihilate. When consciousness ceases.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.23/2/2023.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
