The Sutra of Many Precepts - This is a sutta that the Buddha taught: "Whatever fears (behayani) arise, arise only for the foolish, not for the wise; whatever disappointments (upadda and) arise, they arise for the foolish, not for the wise; Whatever troubles (upa-saggà) arise, they arise for the foolish, not for the wise." Then the Buddha used the example of sparks from a house made of reeds, a house of grass, which can spread and burn a house with an attic, plastered inside and out, sheltered from the wind, with a locked lock, has a tight window. Thus the Buddha came to the conclusion: “The fool is full of fears, the wise have no fear; the fool is full of disappointments, the wise have no disappointments; Fools are full of afflictions, the wise have no afflictions. There is no fear for the wise, there is no frustration for the wise; there is no tribulation for the wise.” And the Buddha advised the monks to study to become wise. At the request of the Venerable Ananda, the Blessed One explained the level to be attained to become a wise person: "Until a bhikkhu is skilled in morality, skilled in the base, skilled in dependent origination, Skilled in bases and non-bases, to such an extent, Ananda, it is enough to say that a bhikkhu is a wise man who knows how to think and understand." Then the World-Honored One explained how skillful the 18 worlds are: ie eye world, form world, eye consciousness world, ear world, audio world, ear consciousness world; billion gender, incense world, rate gender; real world, real world, real world, body world, contact world, body awareness world; mind world, legal world, consciousness world. Or skilled in the six precepts: the earth element, the water element, the fire element, the wind element, the space element, and the consciousness element. Or skilled in the six precepts: the precept of pleasure, the precept of suffering, the precept of joy, the precept of superiority, the precept of equanimity, and the precept of ignorance. Or good about the 6 precepts: sex world, separation sex world, hate world, separation hate world; harmful gender, harmful gender. Or skilled in the three worlds: the world of desire, the world of form, and the world of formlessness. Or skilled in the two precepts: the conditioned and the unconditioned. How is skillful about the land? That is, skilled in 6 internal bases, 6 foreign bases. That is, eye and form, ear and sound, nose and scent, tongue and taste, body and touch, mind and dharma. What is a bhikkhu skilled in dependent origination? Here, the Male-stilts know as follows: If this has, that one has; This is born of the other. If one is not there, the other is not; because this is destroyed, the other is destroyed. That is, ignorance dependent formation, practice dependent consciousness, consciousness dependent arising form, name and form condition six-entry, six-entity dependent contact, contact feeling life, feeling craving, craving dependent clinging, clinging dependent origination, dependent origination, dependent origination , Old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, suffering, grief, and despair arise. Such is the arising of this entire Aggregate of Suffering. But through the cessation, the complete detachment of this very ignorance, formations cease. Because of the cessation of formations consciousness ceases, through the cessation of consciousness nama-rupa ceases, through the cessation of name-and-form the six passes away, through the six cessations contact, through the cessation of contact, feeling ceases, through the cessation of feeling craving, through craving. Therefore, grasping should cease, due to the cessation of grasping, birth and destruction should arise; due to birth and death, old age, death, sorrow, lamentation, suffering, grief, and despair should cease. Such is the complete cessation of this Aggregate of Suffering. So far it is enough to say that a bhikkhu is skillful about dependent origination. And how to say that a bhikkhu is skillful about the base and the non-base? Origin means events that cannot happen. First is the case where a person with Right View does not go to formations (sankhara) and considers formations to be permanent; cannot go to dharmas with self-concept. On the contrary, ordinary people can go to the formations with the concept of permanent; go to formations with the notion of blissful abiding, to dhammas with notions of bliss, to dhammas with the notion of self. It is not possible that a person who attains right view may kill a mother's life, may kill a father's life, may kill an Arahant's life, with ill will cause the Tathagata to bleed, can destroy Sangha harmony, can promote another guru. On the contrary, ordinary people can kill their mother, they can kill their father, they can kill an Arahant, they can cause the Tathagata's body to bleed because of ill will, they can destroy the Sangha harmony, they can promote a Buddha. Another guru. “He knows well that in one world (Lokadhàtu), two Perfectly Enlightened Arahants can appear once; Such an event cannot happen. Does this happen in one world: a Fully Enlightened Arahant may appear once; Such events may occur. He knows that this event does not happen: in the same world, two Kings of the Wheel of God can appear once, neither before nor after; Such events do not occur. And he knows well that this event does happen in a world: a Wheel-turning-King can appear, such an event can happen. He knows that this event does not happen: a woman can become an Arahant of Perfect Enlightenment; Such an event did not occur. And he knows well that this event can happen: a man can become a fully Enlightened Arahant; such an event has occurred. He knows well that this event does not happen: a woman can become a Sakka (Sakka); Such an event did not occur. And he knows well that this event does happen: a man becomes a Sakka; such an event has occurred. He knows well that this event does not happen: a woman can become Mara; Such an event did not occur. And he knows well that this event does happen: a man becomes Mara; such an event has occurred. He knows well that this event does not happen: a woman can become Brahma; Such an event did not occur. And he knows well that this fact does happen: a man can become Brahma; such an event has occurred. This position clearly knows that this event does not happen: an evil body can produce results that are lovely, happy, and pleasant; This event did not happen. And he knows well that this event occurs: an evil body can result in unlovable, not pleasant, not pleasant; such an event has occurred. (same for bad speech and evil intentions). He knows well that this event does not happen, does not exist: a friendly action can result in an unlovable, unappealing result; Such an event did not occur. And he knows well that this event has occurred: a friendly action can produce pleasant, pleasant results; Does such an event occur (same goes for bad speech and bad intention). He knows that this event does not happen: a person who practices the body of evil, due to its evil personality, after the breakup of the body, the end of life can be reborn in the good animal world, in this world, in this world; Such an event did not occur. And he knows well that this event has happened: a person who practices the body of evil, due to the human body of that evil action, after the breakup of the body and death, can be reborn in the evil realm, the evil destination, the lower realm, the hell; whether this event occurs (same goes for bad speech and bad intentions). He knows well that this event did not happen: a person who practices friendly behavior, due to that friendly practice, can be reborn in the evil realm, the evil beast, the lower realm, the hell; Such an event did not occur. And he knows well that this event has happened: a person who practices good conduct, by virtue of that friendly action, can be reborn in the good world, in this world, in this world; Does such an event occur (same goes for bad speech and bad intention). To such an extent it is enough to say: "A bhikkhu is skilled in the land and the non-base". When he heard the Blessed One preach like this, the venerable Ananda spoke up with rare praise and asked what the name of this method of teaching was. The World-Honored One taught us to accept and uphold this method as the Multi-Precepts, to keep it as the Four Turns (Catuparivatto), to maintain it as the Drum of Immortality.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,14/11/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
