Crossing the Nile, the World-Honored One and the assembly stopped outside the Sala forest, where the strongman was born in the city of Cuthina. He said to Ananda: "When you went into the Sala forest, you saw a place where there were rows of birch trees, in that particular place, you cleaned the bottom of it, and you put a bed made of rope at it. Yes, but with your head facing north. Now my body is so-tired!" Mr. Ananda and the Bhikkhus heard the Buddha say that, and became more and more pitiful and sad! Mr. Ananda was sad, obey the Buddha's teaching. Arriving at that row of trees, he washed, arranged, everything was in accordance with the law, then he returned to the Buddha, saying: "Lord, World-Honored One! I cleaned, arranged, it's all done!" At that time, the World-Honored One and the Bhikkhus entered the Sala grove, and came under the tree line. When he got there, he put his right hip on the bed, and lay with his legs crossed like a sleeping lion. He is committed, righteous thoughts.

Keeping the precepts of purity, reading and reciting scriptures, thinking about the profound meaning of the dharmas, that's how you make offerings to me!" At that time, there was a bhikkhu named Upamana (upamana) in the past, when the Tathagata had not yet brought Ananda in as his attendant, that bhikkhu used to keep watch. The Tathagata, now Uba-mana, seeing the Tathagata lying under the sala tree, his heart very painful, he immediately stood in front of the Buddha, to be admired. Buddha for the last time. The World-Honored One immediately said to him, "Mr Upamana! You shouldn't stand in front of Me today!" Ubamana immediately stood back to one side. Mr. Ananda saw this, his mind was born with doubts and doubts: "Strange, I have served the Buddha since ancient times until now for many years, I have never seen the Buddha say such words, why today is the Tathagata? again not allowed to stand in front; Or, now that the Tathagata Buddha is about to enter Nirvana, not allowing anyone to stand in front of him to be sad and cry? Having thought that, Mr. Ananda bowed down to the Buddha's feet, knelt straight, folded his hands and said: "O World-Honored One! Until now I have served the Buddha, usually I stand in front of the Blessed One, I have never heard the Blessed One tell me to stand back, now why does the Blessed One tell Ubamana to stand? avoid in front of me?” The Buddha taught: "Mr Ananda! The disciples of the gods, the eightfold dragon gods,[53], hearing me lying on my right side under this row of sala trees, they scrambled to look at me, out of nowhere, gathered to the earth, its four faces filled up to thirty-two yojanas; This Uba-mana bhikkhu, standing in front of me, the gods, with a long eight feet of unhappy mind, thinks that now the Tathagata is under this row of sala trees, not too long. Once again will enter Nirvana, we want to see the Tathagata for the last time, but the other bhikkhu is standing in front of the Buddha!" Because of that fate, I told him to stand back to the side.” Did you know, Mr. Ananda, that in these eight sets, there are people who are mourning and cannot help themselves, or people who are depressed and are about to faint, or who are so sad, pull their hair out with their hands. his head, or someone tore off the adornments of his body and all chanted in unison: "Now that the Tathagata has entered Nirvana, why so quickly! When the Tathagata was born, it is difficult to meet, like the Udumbara flower from time to time, from time to time to appear. but soon, he will enter Nirvana. Alas, so miserable! The eyes of the world are gone and from now on, who do we take as refuge and guide!" The Gods of Lycanthropy[54] also lamented: "Alas, the world is very impermanent, there is nothing that is born, but does not aim for the place of destruction!" The same devas, they said to each other: "Once upon a time, the Blessed One either lived in the city of Vaisali, or in the city of Rajagrha, or in the country of Sràvasti, together. In other places, after settling down, the Bhikkhus, from the four directions to inquire of the Blessed One, in the world, we are on the side of the road to see the Bhikkhus, bowing, making offerings. -Easy, listening to the sutras, get many benefits; Now that the World-Honored One has entered Nirvana, the Bhikkhus, when they have settled down, do not return to the same troubles as before, they travel everywhere, we must not be on the side of the road to see bhikkhus, worship, make offerings, listen to sutras, and from now on we will lose those benefits forever." At that time, the Tathagata said to Ananda: "If bhikkhus, bhikkhus, upasakas, and upasakas, after my extinction, develop a mind, go to four places of me in the past, they will have many incalculable merits and their birthplaces in the future, often in the human and heavenly realms, enjoy the happy and unending retribution. What are those four places? - Firstly, when the Tathagata became a Bodhisattva, he was born in the Lumbini garden in the Kapilavastu country. Second, where I began to sit under the Bodhi tree (Boddhidruma) to attain unsurpassed righteous enlightenment, in the country of Magadha. Third, where the first turning of the Dharma wheel (the teaching of the Dharma), in the garden of Mrgadàva (where the immortals lived before), the country of Benares (Varanasi Benares). Fourth, the place where I entered Nirvana, about two rows of trees, in the Sala forest (Sàlavana) on the bank of the Nile River (Nairanjana) where the Strongman was born in the land of Cuthina (Kusinagara). That's four places! If bhikkhus, bhikkhunis, upasakas, upasi, and other non-Buddhists, develop the desire to go to other places to worship, they will all gain merit- virtue, as mentioned above. Mr. Ananda heard the Buddha say that, he immediately said to the Buddha: "O World-Honored One! From now on, I will announce to all four orders--they know these four places and if anyone goes to worship, such merit will be obtained." At that time, Mr. Ananda said to the Buddha: "O World-Honored One! If the Upasakas had good intentions, kept all moral conduct, were eager to listen to the Dharma, and wanted to see a bhikkhu, what should we do from now on? The Buddha said: "From now on you should not meet!" Mr. Ananda said: "If suddenly reunited, What should be done?" The Buddha said: "Don't talk together". Mr. Ananda said: "If they don't talk, but they have a request, what should they do if they want to hear the sutras?" The Buddha taught: "So for them, preach the Dharma to them, but, you should be careful with your body, speech, and mind!" Mr. Ananda said: "Lord, World-Honored One! We will do so from now on.” TOTAL-WEATHER At that time, the World-Honored One and the Bhikkhus went on their way. Arriving at Sala forest, he and the crowd stopped, and sent Ananda to repair the row of two-tree Sala trees. After the repair was complete, He went with all of them into the forest. There he placed his right hip on the bed of ropes, his head facing north, his legs folded up like a sleeping lion. He is committed, righteous thoughts. At that time, the eight-step Heavenly Dragon in the air scattered flowers, sprinkled incense, played Thien-music, and sang praises. The Buddha told Ananda: “If you want to make offerings to me to repay favors, you must use heavenly incense, flowers, and heavenly music. Keeping the precepts of purity, reading and reciting scriptures, thinking about the profound meaning of the dharmas, that's how you make offerings to me!" The followers of Thien, the eight feet of dragons are too numerous. Everyone lamented, cried and also wanted to see the Buddha's portrait for the last time. Feeling this, he told the Bhikkhu Upamana, who was standing in front of him, to stand back to one side. Wanting sentient beings in the next life to enjoy retribution and happiness, the Buddha also taught that it is advisable to go to worship and make offerings to the four places of his relics, namely the place of birth, the place of enlightenment, the place of conversion. Dharma-wheel and the place of Nirvana. Here, Mr. Ananda asked the Buddha about how to deal with the good-hearted Upasakas, keeping the precepts, wanting to listen to the sutras, so how?
