THE BINH NIRVAN SUTRA. Thich-Tam-Chau translates Chinese characters into Vietnamese characters IX. ANNOUNCEMENT OF ENTERPRISE-CENTURY At that time, from the face-door of the Tathagata, emitted many rays of light: blue, yellow, red, white, crystal, pink. Mr. Ananda immediately bowed down to the Buddha's feet, knelt straight, folded his hands, and said to the Buddha: "O World-Honored One! I don't know what causes and conditions, but the World-Honored One appeared to him?" The Buddha replied: Mr. Ananda! You should know that there are two times when I emit great rays of light: First, when I am about to become a Buddha under the Bodhi tree, I emit great rays of light. Second, when I am about to enter Nirvana, I release a great light." Mr. A-Nan! Do you know: I became Unsurpassed Righteous Enlightenment, belonging to the night, near dawn, the same time when I entered Nirvana! You should know today: near the dawn of this night, I will enter Nirvana, about the sala tree on the banks of the Nile, where the athlete was born,[48], in the city of Cuthina!" Having said that, the Bhikkhus, the gods in the air, pity, cry and weep, unable to restrain themselves. At that time, the World-Honored One, with the Bhikkhus, came to the Kakhuta River. At this point, the World-Honored One immediately went down to the river to bathe. Finished bathing. He was with the Bhikkhu-Bhikkhu- Sangha, sitting by the riverside. At that time, Mr. Thuan-Da, reproached his own mind, saying: "Is the World-Honored One, because of my meal offerings, born with a stomach ache, and is about to enter Nirvana?" The World-Honored One knew that Thuan-Da thought so, and immediately said to Mr. Ananda: "Hey, Mr. Ananda! You should now know: All sentient beings, don't blame yourself that the Tathagata, because of my meal offerings, got sick in his body and entered Nirvana. What happen? - When the Tathagata was born, there are two classes of people who are the most blessed: First, when the Tathagata is about to become Unsurpassed Righteousness, Right Enlightenment, bring the food back. Second, when the Tathagata is about to enter Nirvana, offer the last meal. Those two types of people who make offerings are equally blessed and have many, unspeakable retributions. Two kinds of people who make such offerings, even if it's hard to find, like the Udumbara flower, it's only ever, ever, only once!" The World-Honored One immediately said to Mr. Thuan-Da: "Mr. His mind now has that concept. You shouldn't be self-repentant like that. He had obtained such a rare and unsurpassed preciousness, he should have produced a happy, lucky heart of his own. You should know: In hundreds, thousands, and thousands of kalpas, it is difficult to hear the Buddha's name. Although sometimes hearing the Buddha's name-name, seeing the Buddha is difficult. Although sometimes seeing the Buddha, it is difficult to make offerings easily. Although sometimes being offered, but, participating in the two classes of offerings as above, it is also very difficult. He has now obtained that blessing, and soon he will be eloquent, intellectual, physical, and long-lived.” Mr. Thuan-Da heard the Buddha say that, his heart was filled with joy, he couldn't help himself. He said to the Buddha: "Happy, O World-Honored One! Now I have received such great benefit!” The World-Honored One immediately said a verse: “The one who gives is blessed, the one who is kind-hearted does not hold resentment; People who do good from evil, People who are estranged from lust[50] have no brain. If you do such conduct, you will soon attain Nirvana." The Buddha said that verse, he said to Mr. Thuan-Da: "Mr. Thuan-Da! Now you should bring the good news in this last offering, spread it all over the world, and make those who hear it happy forever!" TOTAL-WEATHER After he converted him, from the front-door, the World-Honored One released a multicolored halo. Mr. Ananda did not understand, bowed and asked the Buddha about the cause-and-effect, the Buddha taught: “There are two periods when I radiate great light, when I am about to attain enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and when I am about to enter Nirvana. Before I attained enlightenment in the early morning hours of the night, now I enter Nirvana, too! Near the morning of this night, I will enter Nirvana under the sala trees, on the bank of the Nirvana River, where the Strongman was born, in the city of Cuthina!" The bhikkhus and the gods in the air were all sad and weeping! Immediately, the Buddha and the Sangha went to the Cakhuta River. Here he went down to the river to bathe. After bathing, he and all of them sat down by the riverside. At that time, Mr. Thuan-Da blamed himself for the fact that he offered rice, but the Buddha was in pain and passed away. Feeling this way, he immediately said to Ananda: "Let no living beings have the mind that because they offer rice, the Buddha enters and passes away. Because, when the Tathagata was born, whoever offers a meal when he is about to attain enlightenment and a meal when he is about to pass away, blessed above all.” “Mr. Thuan-Da! You shouldn't think like that! In hundreds, thousands, and thousands of kalpas, is it easy to hear the Buddha's name, easily see the Buddha, easily make offerings to the Buddha, and easily participate in the two offerings above? You should rejoice in yourself, having been blessed with this blessing, you will soon have eloquence, wisdom, strength, and longevity. What cause, what effect!” “Therefore, you should announce to everyone about the blessings of this last offering, so that the listeners may also have peace.” easy to make offerings to the Buddha and easy to participate in the two offerings as above?
