SUFFERING BY WHO? -- Venerable Gotama, is suffering self-made? -- Not so, Kassapa. The Blessed One replied. -- Venerable Gotama, is suffering caused by others? -- Not so, Kassapa. The Ton replied. -- Venerable Gotama, is suffering caused by oneself and by others? -- Not so, Kassapa. The Ton replied. -- Venerable Gotama, is suffering not self-made, not created by others, or naturally born suffering? -- Not so, Kassapa. The Ton replied. -- Venerable Gotama, is suffering not? -- It is not, Kassapa, that suffering does not exist. Suffering is there, Kassapa. -- Thus, Venerable Gotama neither knows nor sees suffering. -- It is not, Kassapa, that I do not know, do not see suffering. Kassapa, I know suffering, Kassapa, I see suffering. -- Asked: "Venerable Gotama, do you have to do it yourself?" He replied:Not so, Kassapa.” Asked: "Venerable Gotama, is suffering caused by others?" He replied, "It is not so, Kassapa." Asked: "Venerable Gotama, is suffering must it be made by oneself and by others?", he replied: "It is not so, Kassapa." Asked: "Venerable Gotama, is suffering not self-made and not caused by others created, suffering naturally arise?", he replied: "Not so, Kassapa." Asked: "Venerable Gotama, does suffering not exist?", he replied: "It is not that suffering does not exist. . Suffering exists, Kassapa.” Asked: “Then, Venerable Gotama, do not know, do not see suffering?”, he replied: “Kassapa, it is not that I do not know, do not see suffering. O Kassapa, I know suffering, O Kassapa, I see suffering.” World Honored One,World-Honored One, speak to me about suffering. World-Honored One, please teach me about suffering. -- A person does and it is the doer who feels (the result). Kassapa, as you originally called "self-made suffering," that means permanent view. Another person does and another feels. Thus, Kassapa, for a person experiencing feeling, it happens as: 'Suffering caused by others', thus means the cessation of view. Kassapa, abandoning these two extremes, the Tathagata preaches the Dharma along the middle path: Ignorance dependently formed, dependent consciousness formation... Thus the whole aggregate of suffering arises. But due to dispassion and the complete cessation of ignorance, formations cease. Due to the cessation of formations, consciousness ceases... (as above). Thus, this whole aggregate of suffering ceases. When he heard this, Kassapa said to the Blessed One, naked: - How wonderful, venerable sir! Miraculously,White World Honored One! World-Honored One, like a man standing up what has fallen, revealing what is hidden, showing the way to the lost, bringing a light into the dark so that those who have eyes can see form. Likewise, the Dharma has been presented and explained by the World-Honored One. And now I take refuge in the Blessed One, take refuge in the Dharma, and take refuge in the Order of monks. World-Honored One, I would like to leave home with the Blessed One, I would like to receive the great precepts. -- Hey Kassapa, whoever was formerly a non-Buddhist and now wants to become a monk, and wants to receive great precepts in this Dharma and Discipline, must live for four months in seclusion; After living for four months in seclusion, if the Sangha agree, they will be ordained, or ordained, to become a Male-stilt. But I realize that human personalities are different from each other. -- World-Honored One, if those who were formerly non-Buddhist sectarians now wish to become ordained, and wish to receive great precepts in this Dharma and Discipline,to live four months in solitary confinement; After living in seclusion for four months, the Sangha, if they agree, will be ordained, give great ordination, then I will ask to live in seclusion for four years, after living in seclusion for four years if the Sangha agree, I hope they will allow us to live in seclusion. I ordained, give me great precepts to become a Male-stilts. And naked Kassapa was ordained with the Blessed One and received great ordination. Not long after receiving the great precepts, Venerable Kassapa was alone, peaceful, not distracted, living ardently and diligently. And soon this position proved to be the ultimate goal that the descendants of the householders had ordained, abandoned the family, and lived without family towards; that is the unsurpassed goal of the holy life in the present life, by oneself with superior knowledge, realization, attainment and abiding. This position testifies: "Birth has ended. The holy life has been completed, what should have been done has been done, no more returning to this state".And Venerable Kassapa became another Arahant.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.8/6/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.

An cư kiết hạ là gì? Ý nghĩa của An cư kiết hạ An cư kiết hạ có ý nghĩa rất lớn đối với hàng xuất gia lẫn tại gia. Đó là thời điểm chư Tăng Ni dành trọn thời gian cho việc tu học, thúc liễm thân tâm, trau giồi Giới-Định-Tuệ,là cơ hội cho hàng Phật tử tại gia phát tâm gieo trồng ruộng phước thông qua việc cúng dường. Duyên khởi pháp An cư kiết hạ Theo Đại Phẩm Luật Tạng, trong những năm đầu thiết lập Tăng đoàn (saṅgha) đức Phật chưa chế pháp an cư, thế rồi khi mùa mưa đến cây cối mọc lên kéo theo sự sinh sôi nảy nở của vô số côn trùng. Một số đạo sỹ các giáo phái khác họ cũng có quy định an trú trong mùa mưa để tránh giẫm đạp làm tổ̉n hại sinh mạng; thế nhưng chư tăng đệ tử Phật vẫn tiếp tục du hành trong ba tháng mùa mưa. Sự việc này đã khiến dân chúng và các giáo phái ngoại đạo kịch liệt chỉ trích: “Làm thế nào có thể những Sa-môn, con trai của dòng họ Thích Ca đi về trong mùa đông, mùa hè và cả trong mùa mưa, họ c...

RETREAT SECURITY. When the Buddha was still in the world, he set a precept for monks and nuns that every year they had to settle down in the summer in the rainy season [1]. Because of the rainy season in India, insects proliferate a lot, but when the monks go for alms, they will trample them, killing many small living beings, hurting the compassion of the Buddhas. As a result, monks and nuns are not allowed to travel outside, but must stay in one place for three months to make efforts to practice meditation, cultivate precepts of concentration, and live together in pure harmony. However, if there is an urgent and necessary matter, they are only allowed to leave the residence for no more than seven days [2], and then have to return to continue living. That is the origin of the "Retreat in Kiet Ha". Comparing the Indian calendar and the Chinese calendar, that time starts from the full moon day, the 16th day of the sixth lunar month, until the 15th day of the 9th lunar month. Th...

BUDDHA AND HIS MESSAGE. The method of liberation is considered to be a characteristic of Buddhism that is very different from that of other religions. While religions such as Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Zoroastrianism and Judaism advocate that: "Return to God and pray, devote yourself completely to Him, unite with Him." . Their moral foundation is based on the concept of God, they believe that if people cannot believe in God, they will not be able to lead a right and useful life. We know that thousands of followers of these religions have truly lived pure and holy lives. However, the strange thing is that that holy, selfless, pure life is also lived by thousands of Buddha's children.while He never asked them to worship any god as the first step towards their liberation. The Buddha taught people to rely on themselves, not to rely on any external savior. Nor did he ever promote himself as a mediator between us and our ultimate deliverance. However, He can tell us what to...
