Difference of Time of Practice and Achievement Between Two
Primary Students
Patipada type of three level that lower which is owned
by Venerable Moggallana is the kind of Sukhapatipadàdandhàb
hinna (after easily eliminate nivarana, Vipassana
Nana develops slowly to achieve three Magga Nana
that lower). While patipada that he has to reach
Arahatta-Magga is the kind of Dukkhapatipadàkhippàbhinna (after
managed to wipe out the hard way, Vipassana Nana
grown sharply and quickly reaches Arahatta-Magga.)
Patipada owned by Venerable Sariputta, for three levels
lower is the kind of Sukhapatipadàdandhàbhinna (same
with Venerable Moggallana). While patipada to
achieve Arahatta-Magga is the kind Sukhapatipadàkhippàbhin
na (after easily and effortlessly eliminate five
nivarana, Vipassana Nana growing sharply and quickly reached
Arahatta-Magga).
Thus the difference of patipada between the two thera
(Explanation Sutta the 7th and 8th of patipada VAGGA in Comments
Anguttara).

1. Occurred on the night of full moon in the month of Magha.
2. All those present, to come uninvited, like a
natural events, one thousand two hundred and fifty monks come

At a gathering of students here, Sàvaka Sannipàta, Tathagata

Venerable and Venerable Moggallana Sariputta. On the day of the
same time, the Buddha's instructions concerning the obligation of the
Monks, Ovada Pàtimokkha, which is always spoken by the
Buddha.
Three events exposition of Dhamma (Dhammàbhisamaya)
As described earlier, in chapter 24 of the Buddha, three events
where the Buddha gave sermons in the past also
occurred during the Buddha Gotama. These events are worthy
remember are:
(1) As mentioned earlier, the Tathagata, after
achieve enlightenment, first taught
Dhammacakkappavattanasutta in Deer Park when the
Thera and Venerable Kondanna eighteen crore brahma
Fruition-Phala achieve.
(This is the first event, the first Dhammàbhisamaya
Four Noble Truths which was first taught to
humans, gods, and Brahma).
(2) Then, on a big har i Supreme Mangala, Tathagata
Mangala teaches Sutta in the midst of gathering
humans and the gods of the universe ten thousand; not

Four Noble Truths and attain Liberation.
(This is the second incident, in which the second Dhammàbhisamaya
Four Noble Truths taught to humans, gods, and
brahma).
(3) Furthermore, when the Tathagata teaches horn Ràhulovàda
Sutta (Majjh 3, 324 and Sam-2, 324) to the Venerable Rahula,
thousands of gods together with the Venerable Rahula,
managed to understand the Four Noble Truths and achieve
Liberation.
(This is the third incident, in which the third Dhammabhisamaya
Four Noble Truths taught to humans, gods, and
brahma).
The only event Student Meeting (Sàvaka
Sannipàta)
As previously mentioned, the Buddha, which has
achieve enlightenment only have one
events where students congregate that is characterized by
four distinguishing features.
This is when the Buddha first preached the obligation of the
Monks, Ovada Pàtimokkha.
Two Forms Pàtimokkha
Counsel and discipline rules set by
Buddha called Pàtimokkha keep those who keep
and through it, from the danger of falling into misery.
Pàtimokkha divided into two forms (a) Ovada Pàtimokkha and
(B) ANA Pàtimokkha.
Of the two forms, which contain advice Pàtimokkha, Ovada
Pàtimokkha taught by the Buddha was separated. Ovada
Pàtimokkha consists of three stanzas that begins, "Khanti
Tapo Paramam titikkhà. "All the Buddha gave advice only
with three stanzas of this: there is no difference, but with respect to
pembabarannya events and time intervals, there is a difference
as described below:
Buddha taught Ovada Pàtimokkha Vipassi once every seven
years; this advice will be adhered to for seven years.
Sikhi Buddha and the Buddha taught Vessabhu every six years
once, and Konagamana Kakusandha Buddha taught each
year and the Buddha Kassapa every six months, because his counsel
only lasted for six months.
We will discuss what is contained in the introduction
Veranja in the first book of the Vinaya comments regarding
with Ovada Pàtimokkha.
All the Buddhas of the past teaches Ovada
Pàtimokkha. (But Ovada Pàtimokkha not taught at all
every half a month). To explain further: Buddha
Vipassi Ovada Pàtimokkha teach once every six years
and he read it himself. The monks of his students
not read Pàtimokkha in each region vihàranya
respectively. All the monks assembled in the territory Jambudipa
together to hold a ceremony uposatha in just
environment in which the Buddhist Vihara located Vipassi. The monastery
Khema is located in the Park, a sanctuary for animals
near royal Bandhumati.
During the period of Buddha Vipassi, there are eighty-four
thousand temples, and in each monastery dwelt ten
thousand to twenty thousand monks who maintain the purity
those with nothing to do with ordinary people
(Visabhàga Puggala), they also undergo rigorous training. God
whose job is to announce today uposatha around
monastery where the monks dwell (once in every year)
to tell you, "Your Majesty, who underwent a full life
peace, a year has passed, two, three, four
years, five years have passed. This is the sixth year and day
next full moon is a day where you should go
Buddha to salute and held a ceremony uposatha;
now is the time for you gathered in front
Buddha. "
Monks who have supernatural powers can go alone to the monastery
Khema animal protection in the park where the Buddha Vipassi
dwells. Monks who do not have the magic power to go to
place with the help of the gods in the following way:
monks who have no supernatural powers who settled in
Monasteries were edge-shore ocean east, west, north,
and south. Before they left the meeting, they
perform their tasks such as cleaning bed
and where they live, then take the equipment
they like the robes and bowl, then they are determined,
'Let go' and soon they have arrived (with the help of
the gods) and sit in front of Buddha Vipassi in space
uposatha, and saluted him.
When all the monks had gathered, Buddha Vipassi then
Ovada Pàtimokkha read as follows:
(1) Khanti paramam Tapo titikkhà
Nibbànam paramam vadanti Buddha
Na hi pabbajito parupaghàti
Samano Na Hoti param vihethayanto
Patience (Khanti: Adhivàsana Khanti) is an exercise in moral
the best. The Buddha declared "Nibbana which is free
of attachment is the highest. "He is wounded,
killing other creatures is not an ascetic. Someone who
harm other beings is not a noble monks who
has put out all the dirt.
(2) Sabbapàpassa akaranam
kusalassa upasampadà
sacitta pariyodapanam
Etam Buddhàna Sàsanam.
Not commit a crime (to avoid evil deeds),
do good without defects associated with four
nature, purify the mind to eliminate the five hindrances
has failed, this is the instruction, advice given by
all the Buddhas. (One should abstain from acts
evil by obeying the moral rules; doing good deeds
related to the four nature through concentration exercises
Clear vision and meditation both at the temporal and
through the achievement of non-earthly-Phala Arahatta. This advice,
instructions given by all the Buddhas.)
(3) Anupavàdo anupaghàto
ca pàtimokkhe samvaro
ca mattannutà bhattasmim
pantanca sayanàsanam
ca adhicitte àyogo
Etam Buddhàna Sàsanam
Not memf itnah others or causing others
slander (that means distancing himself from speaking any); not
harm others or cause others to kill
or harm others (abstain from acts
wrong), adhere to moral rules is important and keep away from
stain (mean follow Pàtimokkhasamara Sila and Indriyasamvara
Sila).
Knowing the right portion in terms of food (in relation
with Ajivapàrisuddhi and Paccayasannissita Sila Sila), stays in
seclusion (sappàya senàsana), continuously developing
eight achievement (samàpatti) which is the basis for Nana
Clear view (Vipassana Nana), a series of six rules
(Dhamma) is a warning, instruction, and advice from
all the Buddhas.
(This verse is a summary of the Three Exercises ie, adhi precepts,
adhi citta, and adhi panna).
In this way Sikhi Buddha and all Buddhas
others teach and read Ovada Pàtimokkha; not
there are differences such as specific teachings or verses that they
read. As described earlier, the Dhammapada Comments
mention the difference is only found in the time factor alone.
Only these three verses that make up the Ovada Pàtimokkha
spoken by all Buddhists. The Buddhas who have
read it a long lifespan lifetime
them, the Buddhas of age his life is shorter
read the earlier parts of the life of They
(Patthama Bodhi), since they set the rules of practice, they
stopped teaching and reading Ovada Pàtimokkha. Only
students who read the rules of the Vinaya discipline, which
Ana Pàtimokkha called once every two weeks. (The Buddha
Ana does not read Pàtimokkha).
Thus, the Buddha, who has reached Enlightenment
Perfect, teaches Ovada Pàtimokkha in just two
The first twenty years after attaining Buddhahood, which is called
Patthama Bodhi. (The first book Comment Vinaya).
King Suddhodana Sending The minister for
Invited the Buddha to the City of Royal
It was the full moon in the month after 103 years of Supreme Phussa
Era. Buddha was dwelling at the monastery Veluvana, in Rajagaha,
provide teaching of medicine of immortality to humans, gods, and
Brahma came into his presence. It has helped a lot
beings have a strong belief in the Triple Gem.
Many of the creatures that made it to the Roads and fruit
according to their determination, while some of the keluaga
aiga and the good of the kingdom of Magadha was ordained and achieve
Roads and fruit. As the grand release party held every
day, King Suddhodana, heard the news that her son had been
Buddhahood great after undergoing a rigorous training
for six years and after preaching the first sermon
Dhammacakka, while it was dwelling in the monastery Veluvana,
Rajagaha, like the moon amid the stars in the sky.
Hearing this news, the king sent a minister and advised,
"O Minister! Go now, with a thousand servants, to the City
Rajagaha and convey to my son, who has reached
Enlightenment, my words, 'Buddha Excellency,
King Suddhodana father wanted to give tribute unto
Mu 'and invite Him to come. "
"Well, Your Honor," replied the minister and go,
without delay, bringing the message the king and accompanied by a thousand
servants towards Rajagaha a distance of sixty Yojana
from Kapilavatthu. He arrived there at the time of Buddha was
teach the Dhamma in the middle of the audience at the monastery
Veluvana.
The minister had thought, "I will listen to the sermon
before delivering the message of the king. "While standing and
listen to sermons from behind the audience, he and a thousand
servants attain Arahatta even while
they stood there. They then, approached the Blessed One
and apply, "the Great Buddha, may
we ordain a monk. "Later, the Buddha
His hand is stretched out (as before) and said, "Etha
Monk "and so on.
As soon as the Buddha says "Etha monk," the minister
servants with a thousand people turned into a full monk
such as the Thera seniors who have become monks for sixty
year, full robed and bearing the eight fixtures
created a supernatural being in place
should they pay homage to Buddha. Appearance
ministers and the royal servants mysteriously disappeared as soon as they
turned into a monk.
(Note: Since the achievement Arahatta-Phala, noble man,
naturally, no different from worldly things, the minister
not convey the message the king to the Buddha, just skip
time to enjoy the happiness Arahatta-Phala).
Knowing that he sent the minister did not come back on
time and no news story at all, the king became
restless and wondering what the reasons did not return them;
then he sent again the other ministers for the same mission
and the same way. These ministers, too, after visiting a monastery
Veluvana in Rajagaha with his servants, to achieve the holiness
Arahatta after listening to the sermon delivered by
Tathagata and become ehi-bhikkhu. They do not convey
king's message to the Tathagata or return to report
to the king. They stayed there enjoying the fruits Arahatta
they achieve.
King Suddhodana send nine ministers in a row that
each accompanied by a thousand servants to the same mission;
the whole nine ministers and their servants reach
Arahatta purity levels after listening to the sermon
delivered by the Tathagata and became ehi-bhikkhu. They do not
convey a King message to the Tathagata or returned to
reported to the king. They stay there to enjoy
Arahatta Fruit they achieve.
