English Translation Part 2 of 2 8. Before the past ninety-one Kalpa, there was Vipassana Buddha resided in the world. At the time Buddha promoted dharmas at the country of Paranas. Buddha taught and liberated ordinary people. After completing merit-virtues, Buddha entered into nirvana. That is having completely actualized emptiness nature that is beyond above. Buddha has actualized perfect enlightenment that is beyond above. At that time, King Brahma Datta was Buddhist dispel. After Buddha’s nirvana, King generated his heart and built a four-treasure pagoda to make offerings to Buddha’s relics. This time a boy ran to the front of the pagoda. They boy paid homage and respected politely to pagoda: “This is such a majestic, such a good, and such a wonderful and adorn pagoda!” He burst joys in his heart. Looking at this pagoda he vowed to attain ordination. However, from young age to old, he wasn’t able to be enlightened. (Therefore, for each child, attain ordination does not necessary means getting enlightened. Having studied Buddhism does not necessary means he definitely has wisdom.) He was very self-blamed in all his life and repented, “Why haven’t I been enlightened after cultivating for an entire life?’ 9. One day, this self-blamed bhikkhus purchased Sriman flowers with all his savings. Using fine thread, he woven by himself with one Sriman flower after another. He wove them to a clothing that could cover the whole pagoda. He made this offering to Buddha’s relics pagoda. (By using flowers to cover the pagoda completely. Do you see how big this vow is.) And he vowed: “I must be born in Buddha time. (That is later in his rebirth, he must be born in the world when Buddha is.) I follow Buddha to attain ordination. And actualize fruit of Dao.” In Master’s Buddhist story, many people have vow power that “I must be born in the world when Buddha resides in world.” This is a big vow power. 10. Next Buddha told all of them. This bhikkhus, because of the merit-virtues that he made this offering, in the ninety-one Kalpa, he has never fallen to hell, beast or hungry ghost (realms). Whether he was celestial beings in heaven or he was in human world, the bhikkhus often grows Sriman flower clothing with his body. (That is, when he was celestial being, he has this flower clothing. When he is in human world, he has this flower clothing.) He enjoyed advantage awards of heaven celestials. It is also because the merit-virtues of his repentant and vow, he can be born at the present life to meet Buddha. And he can follow Buddha to attain ordination. Then he actualized fruit of Dao. Therefore, you all need to know what is called “repentant and vow”. To repent your own ignorance, not being able to get enlightened. “I vow that I must increase Buddhist wisdom.” Because to vow after repentant, the vow power is extremely large. It is extremely efficacious. Therefore, Master asked you that you must recite “Eighty-eight Buddhas’ Great Repentance”. Then make vow. Buddha spoken to here. All of them heard Buddha’s saying. They firmly obeyed Buddha’s teachings. And abide with the teachings joyfully. 11. This is to tell you all. A person may not be enlightened. But he shouldn’t have no repentant heart. A person can do wrong thing, but he can’t be without heart to reform himself. In “Mahaparinirvana Sutra”, “When you see tathagatas’ relics, it is you are seeing Buddha.” That is also to tell us. Buddhist sutras and mantras that you see, Buddha’s tathagatas’ relics that you see, they are actually like you are seeing Buddha. This Sumana in his past life, he generated heart to attain ordination when he was young. Until old age he still hasn’t be enlightened. He hasn’t lost Bodhicitta because of that. On the contrary, he could observe himself and illuminate himself. “Why haven’t I been enlightened in my whole life?” He came up with repentant heart. When he came up with repentant heart, again he generated broadly vow heart. He put up all his vow to make offering. The merit-virtue of making offering were produced. So, he called out and attracted Sriman flowers to born with his body. And he meets Buddha’s residing in world time. He attained ordination and cultivated. Then he gets wonderful retribution of actualizing Dao and obtaining Buddhist fruits. 12. Today we have studied Buddhism. We have heard Buddhism Teachings. We are very lucky people. Why do you still not cherish on many things. Why are you always not satisfied? We have wisdoms. But these wisdoms are wisdom in human world. We must turn it into Buddha’s merit wisdom. We must repent for our past. “To be born in Buddha time is difficult. To meet accurate dharma is difficult.” Though today we can’t “be born in Buddha time.” (the time when Buddha resides in this world), we are lucky that Buddha’s accurate dharmas are still in the world. We can still study them well. We should grasp all kinds of cause and conditions. Listen to Buddhism teachings properly. Respect offerings. Work diligently without stop. 13. Today you have comely face. In your past life you must have offered flowers (to Buddha); Your eyes are good. You must have offered oil (to Buddha); You are eloquent in speech. You must have presented lotus with your mouth. Your brain is clear and clean. You don’t have calamities. You must have cultivated in past life. Therefore, all these are “built by heart only” in your previous life and present life. Today you want believe, relieve, practice and actualize (You want to relieve. You must believe. Yu must cultivate and practice. You must actualize Buddhist fruit.) You must believe it. You must “remotely fit ancient Buddha’s heart and get it pressed.” You must firmly put Bodhisattvas’ positive energy in your own heart. Let Buddha nature in the eight-consciousness field to meet originally owned Buddha nature in the ninth-consciousness field Amala-consciousness. This is “to fit heart and Buddha in unity”. This way, you may cultivate to achieve Buddha within present life. And terminate reincarnation for ever. 14. Thank you all. Today I talk to you to here. See you next time.
English Translation Part 1 of 2 Buddhism Teachings in Plain Term, Episode 44, Listen and hear Buddhism Teachings. Respect offerings. 1. Today I will talk to all of you a story when Buddha was in the human world. 2. At that time Buddha promoted dharmas everywhere. When he was at Jeta’s tree donate-to- loneliness Vihara (Jetavana-vihana ) in the country of Sravasti, there was a very wealthy super rich Senior in the city. He married a daughter from well-known noble family as his wife. The Senior specifically employed the best musicians in the city. Every day the musicians played wonderful music to please the Senior’s wife. 3. After 10 months of pregnancy, the Senior’s wife born a baby boy with dignified appearance. When the child was born, to their surprise, his body was naturally wrapped by a clothing that was waved by Sriman flowers. The clothing was not only soft, but colourful as well. Meanwhile, it also exposed a fragrance that can hardly find in the world. It made people who smelt it have clear spirit and fresh vitality. Because of this, the Senior specifically invited local physiognomy specialists (a type of fortune teller by looking at physical appearance) to watch his son’s appearance. As soon as the physiognomy specialists saw baby boy’s dignified and marvellous appearance, “This child is very extraordinary!” They kept on praising. One after another, they went to ask the Senior: “Are there any auspicious happening during the course when the child was born?” The Senior couple replied: “The Sriman flower clothing on the child’s body was born naturally.” The physiognomy specialists heard that. They all felt it was incredible. So, they gave the baby boy the name as “Sumana”. (Sumana is the name of the flower.) 4. Drizzled in his parents’ love. Sumana grew day by day. His character was very modest and gentle. He always treated people gently and politely. He was even more filial to his parents. Everybody like very much to get close to this child. More unbelievable thing is. The Sriman flower clothing on him grew together with his body. The size the child grows, is the size that the clothing becomes. It always fit his body very well. 5. The Senior couple knew. Sumana had such adorn Sriman flower clothing on his body. There must be special cause and conditions. They then asked Sumana to got to Jeta’s tree donate-to- loneliness Vihara. They asked him to attain ordination and cultivate. (In the past, to attain ordination is not easy. That is a level of entering royal family and noble. It is very noble.) In the light of Venerable Analudh, Sumana studied dharma doors such as site to meditate. 6. After ordination, novice monk Sumana studied very diligently. Under Venerable Analudh’s teaching, he actualized the fruit of Araha in a short period. Then he got three understanding abilities and six supernatural powers. He is facilitated with eight relieves. Three understanding abilities are Understanding vision of heaven, Understanding of past lives, Understanding of leaking out all afflictions completely. Six supernatural powers: heavenly vision, heavenly hearing, mind reading, knowledge of past lives, leaking out all afflictions completely, and also teleportation. That is to say, this child has special functions. He can run everywhere. Maybe you know all other supernatural powers. But you don’t know leaking out all afflictions completely. “Leak” is actually referred to afflictions. To leak out all afflictions completely. Don’t have afflictions. This child was respected by all celestials in heaven and people in the world. All of them respected him very much. 7. One day, Venerable Analudh asked Sumana to go to the Bhati River that is far away. Venerable asked him to take clean water to do offerings to Buddha. So, Sumana went to Bhati River. After he filled the clean bottle full of water, he threw it to the sky. You can’t imagine that this clean bottle float on the sky with him. Then it followed Sumana and flew towards Venu-vana. At that time bhikkhus in Jetavara saw a bottle full of water flew over. All of them were very surprised. When they knew Sumana was just a novice monk who attained ordination not long ago, they were all breathtaking that Sumana had such supernatural power. They felt unbelievable. “He has just attained ordination. How come does he unexpectedly got such big supernatural power?” So, public bhikkhus went to Buddha respectfully. They asked for instructions from Buddha: “World Honoured One, what kind of advantage awards did novice monk Sumana cultivated indeed in the past? Not only was he born in a wealthy family. He is also born naturally with Sriman flower clothing. Furthermore, not long after he attained ordination, he can realize the fruit of Arhat. And he has such supernatural power?” So, Buddha compassionately gave his opening key to public bhikkhus on the cause and conditions. Buddha was very compassionate. Whatever you asked him, he would talk to you on the cause and consequence of it.
