by Tipitakadhara Mingun Sayadaw
Candakinnari Jataka Story Telling
Once food fund is complete , all court officials and the
steward (except Rahula's mother, Princess Yasodhara) gathered at the foot
of Buddha gave tribute to him.
Although the maid begged him, "Your
Majesty, please come to the court room and give respect to the
Tathagata, "he replied," If I ever give service
worthy to Him, His Majesty will personally come
to me, "he still did not move quietly and calmly in
room.
Tathagata asked King Suddhodana to bring his bowl
and accompanied by his two main students, go to room of
princess recreation. (At that time, forty thousand dancers are
comfort, where one thousand ninety of them are
royal princesses. When told that the Tathagata is
on the way to the recreation room, she ordered
forty thousand dancers to wear dyed clothes
and they obeyed. (Candakinnari Comments).
Arriving at the room of Princess Yasodhara, Tathagata said, "Do not
make noise for obstruct Princess Yasodhara while
he saluted me as he wishes, "and then
He sat in a place that has been prepared for him.
Princess Yasodhara soon come before the Tathagata and then
Tathagata embrace both feet with both hands with
mightily. He rested his head on both legs Tathagata,
alternating left and right, he bowed again and again with the full
respect. Then the king said to the Blessed Suddhodana:
"The Great Buddha, the noble son, my daughter wore
garments are dyed since heard that you wear
robes are dyed, when he heard that you live
with only one meal a day, he is also one meal
a day. When I heard that you had left the bed
luxury, he slept on a thin base, he traveled without makeup
using perfumes or flowers.
When you go off worldliness, daughter of the family
send a message saying their intention to maintain
and her happy with love and attention
them, he did not even care. How good and decent
praised my daughter. "
Thus King Suddhodana notify Tathagata about
Princess Yasodhara virtue and love for the Tathagata.
Tathagata replied:
"Daddy, do not be surprised Yasodhara, Rahula's mother still maintains
loyalty and dignity, because regardless of the protection
you give, Rahula's mother now has matured in
wisdom and able to protect themselves. Even
Rahula's mother in fact even more remarkable, Princess
Yasodhara in past lives, had barricaded himself,
when he was wandering alone at the foot of Mount Canda,
even then he does not have the mature wisdom and
without protection. "
Then, after recounting the events in past lives
namely Candakinnari story (Jataka both of Pakinnaka nipata)
Buddha returned to the monastery Nigrodha accompanied by twenty thousand
Arahanta.
Ordination of the Buddha's brother, Prince Nanda
(Some important things about Prince Nanda: stepmother of Prince
Siddhattha, gave birth to Prince Nanda Mahàpajàpati Gotami, two
days after (on the third day) Queen gave birth to Prince Mahàmàyà
Siddhattha. Mahàpajàpati Gotami entrust her son to
nurses while caring for and maintaining his own Bodhisatta
(His nephew) with her own breasts to feed from.
Prince Nanda only two or three days younger and only
approximately four fingers shorter than Prince Siddhattha
in terms of height).
On the third day of arrival in the city of the Kingdom Kapilavatthu Tathagata,
King Suddhodana held five major ceremony for Prince
Nanda:
(1) Ceremony remove hair tie and tie it in a way
others to match the crown (Kesavissajjana Mangala).
(2) Ceremony tie fastener heads with golden prince
which is a symbol of the Crown Prince (Pattabandha
Mangala).
(3) the conferring ceremony of the palace residence to
Crown Prince (Gharappavesana Mangala).
(4) ceremony of his marriage to Princess Janapadakalyàni (âvàha
Mangala).
(5) and the opening ceremony of the conferring of a white umbrella
kingdom's Crown Prince (Chattussàpana Mangala).
On occasion, Tathagata went to the royal palace and after
giving a sermon about the virtues, because he intends to
to ordain Prince of Nanda, he deliberately
His hand over the bowl to Prince Nanda and
returned to the monastery.
Due to a very high respect to the Tathagata, the brother
His parents, Prince Nanda did not dare say a word
about the bowls are now the responsibility,
although in his heart he said, 'You Majesty, take
Thy bowl. 'But instead he followed the Tathagata to
to the top of the stairs hoping to be free of his burden, but
Tathagata does not do so.
Holding the bowl, he continued to follow up Tathagata
at the foot of the stairs but the Tathagata is still not take it back
His bowl. Tathagata although he continued to follow contrary
with her wishes, hopes the bowl will be taken
again and finally he arrived outside the palace. Tathagata continued
without the freeing of the bowl. Prince Nanda,
followed reluctantly, to turn around, but his respect
High kept him quiet, and hope somewhere
The bowl will be taken back. Finally he went
with the Tathagata.
Suddenly, the maids Princess Janapada Kalyani
told this to the princess, saying, "The
Noble, Tathagata has carried off to Prince Nanda
away from you. "(Janapada was then washed
hair). He rushed to the door on the balcony, her hair still
dripping water and only half combed, and cried out begging,
"Your Majesty, you go back," the damning thoughts
Prince Nanda.
Tathagata walk without taking his bowl of Prince
Nanda, and upon arrival at the monastery, he asked Nanda,
"Will you accept the ordination and become a monk?"
Because of the fear and reverence, he was not able to disclose
reluctance, "No, I do not want to," But instead he actually
agreed, saying, "Well, my brother His Majesty
I will receive ordination. "
"If so, monks, you can watch your
My young ordained, "said Tathagata and the monks do
as instructed.
Being a novice Rahula
Seven days after the incident, the Tathagata, accompanied by twenty
thousand Arahanta, visiting his father's palace to eat. Daughter
Yasodhara beautiful dress to his son,
Rahula, who was then seven years old and said, "My son
dear, look at the venerable Great, served by two
tens of thousands of monks, with a golden appearance and body
elegant like Brahma; He is the father. Before
He let go of worldliness, and became a monk, there is
four pots of gold, namely: Sankha, Ela, Uppla, and Punóarika, which
He disappeared at the same time releasing worldliness. So
Go to the father and ask for an inheritance, saying,
"My Dear Father, I was a young prince and me
will, later, became king of the world of four continents, therefore, I
requires wealth and property that is suitable for a king;
I ask that the four pots of gold was given to me as
heritage, following the tradition that a son always gets
inherited from his father, "Princess Yasodhara then send the
young prince to the Tathagata.
When Prince Rahula approached the Tathagata, he felt
warmth of the love of a father; overwhelmed by joy,
he said, "Venerable Venerable Father, impact-protection
Mu was peaceful, quiet, and comfortable "and after a moment
converse in the language of childhood, she remained seated
near the Buddha. When finished eating, Buddha gave
sermon about the services in providing funds and food
Nigrodha left the palace to the monastery, accompanied by two
tens of thousands Arahanta.
Prince Rahula followed immediately behind the Tathagata and
pleaded, "Venerable Venerable Father, please give the inheritance-
Mu me, "and kept repeating along the way
to the monastery. Tathagata does not say anything to him for
sent her home, such as "My son, go home," and not
None of those who dare hinder kingdom
(Because the event was just a child who follows
father). Thus Prince Rahula arrived at the monastery with
Tathagata while continuing to ask for his legacy along the road.
Arriving at the monastery, the Buddha was thinking, "Prince Rahula
wanted the property his father; only worldly possessions
leads to suffering because it causes the circle
birth. I will give my son, Rahula, the legacy of seven
adiduniawi heirloom belonging to the Noble namely: belief (Saddha),
morality (sila), shame (Hiri), the fear due to misconduct
(Ottappa), knowledge (Suta), freedom (CagA), and wisdom
(Panna) which have I won by eliminating five enemy
internal and external of the armies of Mara, I will make
Crown Prince Rahula became the owner of the estate adiduniawi
this. After that decision, asking His Majesty Tathagata
Sariputta to come and say, "Sariputta, Prince Rahula
came and asked for his inheritance from me; make preparations for
Rahula's ordination as a novice. "
According to An 2-398, seven treasures of noble people, Ariya, such as
described by the Buddha are:
Saddhàdhanam, please dhanam
hiriottappiyam dhanam
sutadhananca càgo ca
panna ve sattamam dhanam
Venerable Maha Ratthasàra illustrates the seven legacy
adiduniawi the Noble is symbolized by the treasure
worldly:
(1) shame (Hiri)-silver
(2) The fear of the result of evil deeds (ottappa)-gold
(3) Knowledge (Suta)-coral
(4) Confidence (Saddha)-emerald
(5) Morality (sila)-pearl
(6) Freedom (CagA)-precious stones
(7) Wisdom (panna)-diamond
In accordance with instructions given by the Buddha, Venerable
Sariputta act as ordaining (upajjhàya), and His Majesty
Moggallana act as mentors (pabbajjàcariya) which
helping to shave the hair, giving robes, and provide
Three protection, while the Venerable Maha Kassapa act
as an advisor (ovàdàcariya). Thus Prince Rahula
ordained as novices. Although all three have Thera
duties and obligations of its own, the ordaining (upajjhàya) is
most responsible for the ordination of Prince Rahula;
tasks and ovàdàcariya pabbajjàcariya is the complement of
ordination tasks (upajjhàya); they merely serve as a
representatives of ordaining. Therefore the Book Pàëi mentions,
"Atha kho âyasamà Sàriputto Ràhulam Kumàram pabbàjesi" which
meaning, "Then His Majesty ordained Sariputta Prince
Rahula as novices.
Rules Defined Exercise by the Tathagata Top
Demand King Suddhodana
King Suddhodana very restless and suffer from physical and spiritual time
he heard the news that "Prince Rahula was ordained
become novices. "
Required note here to explain: When the experts
astrology kingdom confidently predicted that
"The prince will become king of the world" as the birth of Prince
Siddhattha, as well as they predicted a similar
at the time of the birth of Prince Nanda and Prince Rahula.
Hopefully can see the glory and the glory
Prince Siddhattha son as king of the world, King Suddhodana
Prince testified that Bodhisatta Siddhattha instead
let go forth and become a monk, was
very disappointed he was suffering physically and mentally for the first
time.
Later, after he braced himself, "Only when my son
Nanda became king of the world I would see the glory and
glory. "Prince Nanda was ordained a
monk by the Tathagata. He suffered physical and spiritual exhaustion that
great for the second time.
He watched with patience the two previous events
and entertain themselves, "Hope is the last witness
with full satisfaction, glory, and glory of my grandson as
king of the world. "He established his mind on this. Now
Rahula has been used as a novice by the Tathagata, he thought,
"Now the continuity of the dynasty of the Kingdom of Sakya Sakya
threatened. Where else can find the glory and the glory
a king of the world? "King Suddhodana suffered
an even more powerful than the previous one. (This is due
because the king is still in the Sakadagamin Ariyan still
not eliminate anger dirt (sin), because he felt
very sad.)
Distress and physical pain suffered by exceeding the power
resistance, so he went to the Tathagata and after giving
respect and sit in the proper place, he said to
Blessed One, "The Great Buddha, my son, I want you
grant my wish. "Tathagata replied," O King,
father of the family of Gotama, the Buddha who has reached
Enlightenment has passed the stage of granting
the petition. "
(Note: To grant the petition and give gifts
not the business of the hermit who lived on their own
depends on the generous, and therefore, if someone comes
and ask something, is not appropriate if they say,
"Ask whatever you want," it is also not
practices of the Buddha).
Then the king said, "I'm just going to ask something
correctly and properly and not defective. "Only then did the Buddha
allow it to apply, saying, "Daddy
of the Gotama family, you may apply what
whatever you want. "
"My son Your Honor, the first time you let go
worldliness, I suffered endless and I
suffered the same when my son Prince Nanda
ordained, and finally, when Rahula, my grandson was ordained a
novices, my suffering is immeasurable. "
"My son is Most High, loving parents and grandparents to
children and grandchildren through the epidermis, the thick skin within,
flesh, nerves and bones, and ends at the marrow. "
When King Suddhodana left the monastery after listening
sermon, Bhagava, by consider the request of King
Suddhodana, he made the decision rules of practice in meeting
of Samgha.
"Na bhikkhave ananunnàto màtàpitåhi pabbàjetabbo putto; yo
pabbàjeyya àpatti dukkatassa. "Bhikkhus, a child who
not approved by both parents should not be
ordained as samanera or bhikkhu. Anyone who
ordain this child, is a violation. "
