Maha Buddhavamsa
The Great Chronicle of The Buddhas
by Tipitakadhara Mingun Sayadaw
Story of Sàtàgira god and Hemavata god
Buddha Preaching Dhammacakka just before
sunset on full moon nights month âsàlha, year
103 Maha Era. At midnight He preaches
Hemavata Sutta (or Sàtàgiri Sutta). Reasons expounded Sutta
are as follows:
In this Bhadda kappa when age of human life is
twenty thousand years, the Buddha Kassapa came, and he reached
Parinibbana after living for sixteen thousand years (four
-fifths of Ayu kappa). His corpse was cremated with full
respect. Buddha relics are not split but intact
like a solid lump of pure gold. It is common for
a Buddha whose long-lived.
As for the Buddha whose short-lived, they reach
Parinibbana even before many people had the opportunity to meet
with Him. Therefore, due consideration and compassion-
Him, He wants "the people residing in villages and towns
that much will get service with my relic worship even
after I Parinibbana "and determined" May the relics of my broken
into pieces and spread. "So, why
relics of the Buddha are short-lived burst into pieces
and spread like gold dust.
People build big pagoda, one Yojana tall and
Yojana rounds, and perpetuate and adore the one-
the only relics of the Buddha Kassapa in it. Each side
gàvuta sized one and each side has a door
so that the distance between the door of each one gàvuta.
Kiki King of Vàràõasã mendanakan one door; his son, Prince
Pathavindhara, mendanakan another door, officials chaired by
by a general war mendanakan third door, and
the wider community, headed by a wealthy mendanakan
the last door. Bricks used to build a pagoda
were made of gold and precious stones; one brick worth
hundred thousand. In building the pagoda, red-colored minerals
used as cement, oil and fragrant butter used
as water.
After the great pagoda was finished, two friends of the family
well let go forth and become a monk and
ordained by a senior monk who became a direct student
of the Buddha. (It should be understood that, in the Buddhist
long-lived, only the senior monks are allowed to
sàmaõera and ordain monks and provide clues
to them. Those who became Buddhist monks after
Parinibbana should not perform the ordination.)
Then, the two monks who came from a family friendly
well before the senior monk asked, "Lord, if
the duties of a monk in the development of teaching
Buddha? "Sàvaka senior replied," Monks, there are two tasks
monks to be met in the development of teaching
Buddhism, namely, (1) Vasa-dhura, train Vipassana Khammatthàna
(Meditation view Clear), and (2) Pariyatti-dhura, to study the
teachings in the scriptures. From both these tasks (1) monk-
monks who came from good families will settle
with his teacher for five years, serving the needs of teachers,
learn and master the rules of monks (Pàtimokkha) and
two or three parts (bhànavara) of the Sutta and practicing meditation
Vipassana and cutting attachment to friends
monks also peoples his supporters, and after entering
forest far from the settlement, he practiced Vipassana meditation
called the Vasa-dhura. (2) He shall, within its capabilities,
learn and become skilled in one, two, three, four
or Five Nikaya Pitaka and must strive diligently
Sasana Pariyatti properly studied and pure writing
and the meaning and spirit contained in it.
This is the duty of a monk to learn or teach-task
This is called Pariyatti-dhura. "
He further said, "Of the two monks tasks that must be
met, the Vasa-dhura is higher and more noble. "
Both of these friendly monks agreed, "We're still young.
We will meet Vasa-dhura only after we were older.
Before we grow old, we will train to meet
task of learning or teaching the books called Pariyatti-
dhura. "With their intellect, they became experts in
Three Pitaka in a short time and also an expert in answering
and decide questions about the Vinaya. With
their knowledge in the Scriptures, both bhikkhus
It became famous in the gym and they have many
followers as well as receiving a lot of money. Each of them
have followers five hundred monks.
Both of Thera is still giving sage advice (Ovada)
the four groups of people who came to see them.
Therefore, the Three Sasana prosper and shine
as if the Buddha reappeared.
Regarding Disputes Between Bhikkhu Vinaya Dhammavàdi
and Bhikkhu Adhammavadi
At that time, there lived two monks, one Dhammavàdi
(Preachers of Dhamma) and a Adhammavàdi (not
preachers of Dhamma), in a monastery near the village.
Bhikkhu Adhammavàdi always be mean and say harshly.
When the monk Dhammavàdi knowing violation (Vinaya
Sikkhàpada) performed by his colleague, he was rebuked by
said, "My friend, what you did not fit with the gym!" Si
Adhammavàdi monk, tried to deny by saying,
"My friend, what you see and you hear about
me? Do not carelessly accuse! "Bhikkhu Dhammavàdi
replied, "My friend, His Majesty Vinayadhara Thera, custodians
Vinaya, would know better. "
Adhammavàdi monk was thinking, "If Vinayadhara T Hera
decide the case based on the Vinaya, I'd driven from
Sasana ", he immediately went to both Vinayadhara Thera and
provide funds and offerings to trick and
propitiate them. With great respect he handed
objects he was carrying and asked for guidance from them.
He pretends to be people who have great respect for their
and happy to live with them.
One day the monk came to the meeting place Adhammavàdi
Vinayadhara, and after bowing to them, he still stands
there although both Thera has allowed her to go.
Thera asked, "Friend, if anyone wants you to talk about
with us? "and he replied," Yes, Bhante. I disagree
opinions with other monks about the Vinaya violations. If
monk (codaka) came and reported this problem,
please do not be decided according to what is considered right "
Thera replied, "If the issue has been discussed by Samgha,
is not appropriate if it does not decide what should be true ",
he pleaded, "Your honor, if such decision is taken, not
No more support for me to continue in the Sasana. Let
I bear the consequences of own actions. (I'll accept
result in samsara). Please do so decide,
I beg you! "
Due to constantly urged (and can not avoid)
by Bhikkhu Adhammavàdi, both Vinayadhara Thera finally
agreed and said, "Well, Brother!" After getting
The second agreement Vinayadhara Thera, Bhikkhu Adhammavàdi
returned to the monastery in the village, and thought, "I've done
what should I do to Vinayadhara Thera, "He became
increasingly arbitrary, suppress, repress, and to be more rugged
and remain unwilling to change to the venerable Dhammavàdi.
Dhammavàdi monk thought, "This same monk Adhammavàdi
do not be afraid! "Immediately go from the monastery and went to a thousand
monks who are disciples of both Vinayadhara Thera
and said, "Brother, is not the subject matter covered
by Samgha should be decided according to the rules of the Vinaya? Or without
discussed by Samgha, whether the monks should be reporting (codaka)
and monks were reported (cuditaka) resolves itself
peacefully? But now, both Vinayadhara Thera not
decided and did not give permission to resolve
themselves peacefully. What does this mean? "Hearing these words
Dhammavàdi monks and thought, "There must be something
unusual thing that has been known to both Vinayadhara
Thera. "A thousand monks, the disciples did not Vinayadhara Thera
provide answers.
Seeing that this unfortunate situation, Venerable Adhammavàdi
said in a tone of suppressed, 'My friend, did you say second
Thera Vinayadhara already know. We recommend that you report
this problem to them. "Then he left the place
it by saying the harsh words, "From now on, you
have been destroyed! Do not go back to the monastery where you live
during this time. "
The monk then went to second Dhammavàdi Vinayadhara
Thera and complained, "Your Honor, because the thought 'The monk
Adhammavàdi has been serving and pleasing us, 'you
not think of Buddha Sasana, just think of the interests
personal; (you do not care about the Sasana, only concerned with
Personal interests:) You do not protect the Sasana but
protect the shameful and immoral (alajji
dussila Puggala). His Majesty, starting today, you should
not decide any issue concerning the Vinaya. Actually
Kassapa Buddha on this day reached Parinibbana! "He went
leaving both Vinayadhara Thera, sighing and
shed tears, "Kassapa Buddha Sasana has been destroyed and
can not be repaired anymore! "
At that time, both Vinayadhara Thera was very chaotic and
regret (kukkucca), said, "By protecting people
shameful and immoral, we have been throwing gems
Sasana into a deep hole. "Feeling hurt and depressed
mind by remorse (kukkucca), they are not born in the wild
high god after death, one of Thera was born
as the gods on Mount yakkha named Hemavata Hemavata in
Himavanta and other Thera was born as a god yakkha
named Sàtàgira at Mount Sata in Majjhima-Village (Region
Middle). A thousand monks followers of both Thera also not born
in the high gods of nature, because they followed the second
teacher, they are born as a follower of both gods yakkha,
yakkha each god has 500 followers. However, they
who funded the second Vinayadhara Thera reborn in
high gods of nature.
Hemavata gods and Sàtàgira, both have supernatural powers and
greatness and included in the list of twenty-eight generals
god. Is the habit of the gods in there to do
meeting in deciding a case, which carried eight
times each month in a hall called Nàgavati (or
Bhagalavati), on a flat rock in the pan
in Forest Himavanta. Both gods are usually co-yakkha
in the meetings.
Sàtàgira god and the god Hemavata, met each other in
meeting and remember their past lives in the wild
man, asked each other in connection with the natural life
they are now, "Friend, in nature where you were born
again? "" As for you, friends, in nature where you
reborn? "And they're dogged by a deep sadness
when told of their fate, "Friends, we are already experiencing
Severe damage is irreversible! Although we
Dhamma practice and live as a monk during the period
twenty thousand years during the time of Kassapa Buddha Sasana
ago, but we have been reborn as a god yakkha because
a shameful, wicked and immoral, those who
giving the four requirements to us, actually born in
higher nature gods, nature enjoyment of the senses. "
Mutual Promises
Then, God said to the god Hemavata Sàtàgira,
"My friend Hemavata, Himavanta region where you live
mentioned as a place of amazing and incredible. Thus,
if you see or hear something strange and
unusual, please come and tell me. "god Hemavata
Satagira also said to god, "My friend Satagira, Majjhima-
Village, where you live, an area where people noble
come and live is also an amazing country and
remarkable. If you see or hear anything
strange and unusual, please come and tell me. "
Thus, two friends, god and the god Hemavata Sàtàgira,
promised each other and live as a god yakkha; even after
asaïkhyeyya buddhantara a kappa (a long time
between the appearance of a Buddha with the advent of Buddhism
next) has passed. During this time the earth has evolved
area of Yojana and three gàvuta.
At that time we were practicing and bodhisatta
Parama developed during the four asaïkhyeyya and
one hundred thousand kappas, since he received definite prophecy from Buddha
Dãpaïkarà that he will achieve Buddhahood until
His life as a King Vessantara. He was then born
in Nature Heaven Tusita and lived during the age of the life of gods;
upon petition filed by the gods who came from
ten thousand of the universe, he undertakes the petition
to become a Buddha after five investigations.
Then he entered the womb of Goddess Mahàmàyà in human nature,
cause ten thousand universe quake and thirty
two miracles occurred.
The two friends, god and the god Hemavata Sàtàgira, knowing
the thirty-two of this miracle when Bodhisatta
entering the uterus, but they ignored him, they
forget that, "Miracles arise because Bodhisatta
entering the uterus. "Thirty-two of this miracle happen again to
at birth Bodhisatta, when Bodhisatta release worldliness,
and when it reaches the Enlightenment; but even if they
knowledge of thirty-two miracles, they forget
reflect and realize, "This miracle happened in relation
with these events. "
When a Buddhist monk called Pa ¤ cavaggiyà and expound
Dhammacakka sermon, which consists of three stages and twelve
aspect, as it happens devastating earthquake that accompanied the thirty
two miracles. It was first known by the god Sàtàgira;
and know that the Buddha was preaching the sermon
Dhammacakka, the main cause of this miracle, he mendatangai
Buddha with five hundred followers and the deity yakkha lawyer
listen to the teachings Dhammacakka. But he can not
Roads and Fruit achieve anything.
The reason is this: God Sàtàgira, when listening to the sermon
Dhammacakka, remembering his friend and god Hemavata
looked around at the audience, wondering,
"Is my god Hemavata come in this meeting?
Or, does he not come? "Do not see his friend, his mind
become disrupted and chaotic, "Why is my friend so Hemavata
slow! He will not be able to listen to the teachings Dhammacakka
of the Buddha, which is very beautiful and noble in words and
meaning and spirit! "That's why he was not able to penetrate
Roads and Fruits anything.
Buddha's sermon has not completed even Dhammacakka
at sunset. With the intention "I will go and
Hemavata and invite my friend back here with him
and listen to the Dhamma. "He created a vehicle
elephant, horse, eagle, etc. and walk through the space
toward the Hemavata residence accompanied by five hundred gods
yakkha followers.
