Chapter 1060: Yajandhara
In terms of contentment, they are immortal couples who are happy to be admired by others, and they grow old together, but if this desire is lost beyond contentment, like stepping on a few boats, or even promiscuity without moderation, it is a vulgar and shameless depravity that is spurned by people.
The meaning of practice is to be good at controlling oneself in the midst of these desires, even not being greedy or attached, and gradually attaining purity, just like Shakyamuni Buddha and Yajendhara.
Yajendra is the daughter of the rod of the Buddha in the city of Kapila in Central India, the concubine of Prince Siddhartha, and the biological mother of Rahula. She is the daughter of Mahanama, the minister of the Pozha clan. Good and strict, Shu Miao first, with all virtues. Five years after Siddhartha's enlightenment, Siddhartha's aunt Mahapajapati and other 500 Shakya women followed the Buddha to become monks and receive full ordination as bhikshunis. After the testimony of arhat fruit.
Yajendhara is a very kind, Beautiful princess, she has been silently supporting the prince since she followed the prince, after the Buddha became a Buddha, he returned to the country and especially went to Yayindra, Yayindra is a very great person, her virtue, her kindness, have helped the Buddha before and after the Buddha's enlightenment, if there is no her, the Buddha would not be able to travel in four ways, it is Yayindra who persuaded the king of pure rice to let the prince go out of the city with her sincerity, and there will be a later prince four-door outing, Yayindra is the biological mother of Luohuluo, is a great mother, he independently raised Luohuluo to teach him, love him, so that Luohuluo can grow up healthily。
When the Buddha's son Rahula was nine years old, the Buddha sent his disciple Moggallan to take his son back and shave his son and let him practice the holy path, but his mother Yasendhara did not agree to hand over her son, and even closed the city gate to prevent Moggallan from entering the city. At this time, the Buddha manifested a person in the air with divine power and said to Yajandra, "Yajendhara. Thou hast remembered the old times, and vowed not to. Shakyamuni. When. For the Bodhisattva Path. for five hundred pieces of silver. and he bought from thou the five-stemmed lotus. Buddha of the Upper Light. Shi Thou begged me. Born of the world. Co-husband and wife. I don't want it. That is, the words of the words. I am a bodhisattva. Tired of robbery. All generosity. Not against expectations. Thou can. Listen to my wife. Thou shalt make an oath. Born of the world. The wife of the city and my body. Give as you go. No remorse. And now, why. Cherish Rahu. "Roughly speaking, Yasundhara, have you ever remembered the vow you made in your previous life, when I Shakyamuni practiced the Bodhisattva path and bought a five-stemmed lotus flower from you for 500 silver dollars to support the Buddha of Dingguang, and you asked me to be husband and wife for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to accept it, so I said to you, "I am a bodhisattva, and I don't want to go against the wishes of others." If you can do the same, I'll marry you. "Thou hast made a vow that all the nations and cities of the world, and even myself, will be with thee in thy charity, and that thou wilt not repent. Now why do you cherish Rahula and prevent him from becoming a monk and learning the holy ways?
After hearing these words, Yajendra instantly remembered the vow he had made in his previous life as if it had happened yesterday, and willingly handed over his son Rahula.
When he was fifteen years old, his mother and son were ordained at the same time, and he was also the first bhikshuni, and Rahula was the first little novice, and then he helped the Buddha complete the binding and repair of the scriptures throughout his life, and was buried with the ashes of the Buddha at the age of 76. Later, she also became a four-goa arhat and became a great born saint.
Shakyamuni Buddha deeply loved Yajandra to observe the normal state of birth, old age, sickness and death, even his beloved Yajendra could not be avoided, from small love to great love, after practicing to become a Buddha, he also lived Yajendhara and awarded him Buddhahood.
Shakyamuni Buddha and Yajendhara, who are the benefactors of whom? This is the case with the great sage Huanxitian in the heavens, whose natural wish is to make sentient beings look directly at the desires in their hearts in the red dust, and through direct gaze at their desires, they strive to solve their desires, and finally become spotless and attained.
In the secret book "The Buddha Says the Secret Sutra of the Perfection of the Merits of the Holy Heavenly Practice" translated by Bukong Ajali, he once said, "If there are sentient beings who hear my name, their merits cannot be known, and their merits cannot be known, and the Buddhas of this heavenly walker protect the blessings of the Buddhas, and those who do not believe in this Dharma and slander this Dharma, the heavens will punish the Buddhas and give them up, and they will fall into the infinite and immeasurable eons and eons without a period of time. ”
When many people choose to learn Tantra, most of them are attracted by the magical descriptions in the ancestors and even the classics, which is very similar to the weak chicken protagonist who appears for the first time in some Xianxia, thinking that he can soar to the sky if he seizes the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but the fact is that there are many people who practice Tantra, and there is no one in ten thousand who can really cultivate the realm mentioned in the classics.
Just like the Buddha-figure Huanxitian, many people who don't seek to understand it will think that Huanxitian is an evil Buddha-figure, such as some ignorant Buddhist scholars who once used the hunting cartoons published in the island country to convey the message that Huanxitian is very dangerous to readers, and there are also half-witted half-witted people who first praise Huanxitian and then slander Huanxitian, which is used to convey the idea that it will go astray.
In fact, what does it mean to be happy? "If you make all sentient beings happy, you will make all the Buddhas happy." The meaning of this sentence is to describe that sentient beings are immeasurably different, and these different sentient beings cannot be measured by one standard at all, because those who are measured by one standard are very limited, because in the deep lineage, the great sage Huanxi Tiandi is not just the Great Ri Nyorai, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, and even the King of Junduri, the Mother of the Buddha, the Master of Fuxian, the King of Ai Dyeing, the Wishful Wheel Guanyin, the Amitabha Buddha, and so on.
The key point of practicing the joy of the day is the joy of the world, and this kind of joy of the world can be embodied in the master of the world, just as the prayers of the people are all starting from all kinds of realities, and then the consummation of the world, this is the real impeccable joy, many people mistakenly interpret the blessings of the joy of the day, thinking that it must be a dream and even all kinds of divine changes to appear to be considered a blessing.
In fact, the core of blessings is that the joy of things is man-made, and the joy of heaven is the true joy of the world in the end of the Dharma period, as the sutra says, as long as all beings have their hearts and minds, and hold on to their mantras, he will definitely meet their desires and give the supreme benefits of the world and even the world, and the Buddha-figure will eventually teach you something, which is the true blessing!
