after that, they can see each other.
Suddenly saw his son sitting nearby, the father became very

Furthermore, Yasa (do not answer the words of his father) looked at

he has become a Arahanta can slip into
family life and engage in sensual pleasure
like he did before? "The wealthy merchant replied,
"No, your honor Buddha."
Furthermore, the Buddha (to better explain his words)
said to the rich merchant, "a rich benefactor, son Yasa
who has understood the Four Noble Truths with intelligence
a student (sekkha ¥ ANA) as you have done
and achieve Fruition-Magga, and after pondering and
penetrating the Four Noble Truths through the practice has
known since the attainment of Fruition-Magga, he reaches three
A higher path and a consecutive Arahanta with
àsava had vanished. Wealthy philanthropists, Yasa will not slip
into married life and is involved in pleasure

"Great Buddha! Because the mind has been freed entirely Yasa
from attachment to everything about the greed and
wrong view of me, mine, and free from àsava, he has

fully in life as a human being. Great Buddha!
To obtain services and for the sake of happiness, may you
accept alms from me with as a companion-Yasa
Mu. "Invited Thus, the Buddha remained silent, indicating that
He accepted the invitation of a rich merchant for breakfast
at his home.
Knowing well that the Buddha accepted the invitation,

Then, as soon as the wealthy merchants left, Yasa prostrate
to the Buddha, respectfully beg ordination,
"Great Buddha! Please take me to release

and be in the proper place, and then he changed
kneeling posture with respect to the Buddha. (Speech "Ehi-
monk "by the Buddha as an ordination valid for Highness
Yasa. At the moment it is not necessary procedures ordination ceremony
that requires an official sima. (At the time of His Majesty Yasa
became a monk, there are seven people Arahanta noble among
human beings in this world, namely, Buddhism, five Pancavaggiyà Thera, and
Venerable Yasa.)
Yasa's mother and former wife of Yasa Become Sotapanna
After ordaining Yasa, the son of a rich merchant as Ehi-
monks, the Buddha traveled the (next) morning
day for the rich merchant's house, after correcting
His robes and carrying his food bowl, and coupled
by Yasa as a monk followers, and sat cross-legged on the spot

Sujata, from the Venerable Yasa's mother and former wife of Yasa approached
Buddha, and after bowing to him respectfully,
sitting in the proper place.
When they were seated, the Buddha taught his mother and ex-
Yasa's wife about the moral practices that lead to road and
The fruit (Magha-Phala): (1) Dhamma on funds (funds-Katha),
(2) Dhamma of morality (Sila-Katha), (3) of the Dhamma
happy nature, Sugati, (Sagga-Katha), and (4) Dhamma on the way


right and act to achieve Magga, Phala and Nibbana
(Magga-Katha) and showed defects of sensual pleasure and
benefits of leaving home life. Furthermore,
when the Buddha knew that they both have
mind a firm, soft, soft, free from hindrances, joy,
clear, pure and easily taught, the Buddha expounded the Dhamma
He has found (Sàmukkaÿsika Desanà Dhamma) is
Four Noble Truths. So finally, Yasa's mother and ex-
his wife reached Fruition-Phala.
Later, Ms. Yasa, a rich merchant's wife, Sujata, and former
his wife receiving spiritual protection, Lokuttara Saranàgaÿana,
saying to the Buddha, "It's beautiful! Buddha
Great! It was very beautiful, the Great Buddha! Like what
the reverse has been restored to the proper position,
a secular parable, like what has been closed
re-opened, like a disoriented guided
towards the right path, like a lamp lit in the
darkness so that those who have eyes can see
objects; "so the Buddha has taught me
clearly the Dhamma in various ways. The Great Buddha,
we both recognize and approach the Buddha, Dhamma, and
Saÿgha as our place of refuge and shelter. Hopefully
you, the Great Buddha, were willing to accept us as a student
from today onwards until the end of our lives "(In the world
this, a rich merchant's wife, Sujata and former wife of Yasa is
glorious girl (Noble Sàvaka) the first among the peoples
lay women who received three words of protection, Tevàcika
Saranàgamana in this world).
Then, mother, father, and former wife of Venerable Yasa Thera
serve the Buddha and the Venerable Yasa with foods that are hard
and good quality software directly with both hands
they (sahatthika) and, later, knowing that the Buddha had
finished eating, they sit in a place free from the six defects;
then the Buddha rose from his seat after teaching
Dhamma to the mother, father, and former wife of Venerable Yasa Thera
and traveled to Isipatana Migadāya.


(Here, it should be understood that the Buddha first taught
Dhamma to the mother and former wife of Venerable Yasa before
take the food because otherwise, they are not

stabbing caused by the Yasa
monks, and also because this can cause resentment
to the Buddha to the point where they will not be able to

Virtue Venerable Yasa and Yang Others in the past
At one point, fifty-five friends to form a
association that aims to do good. They
perform tasks to cremate the bodies free of
cost to people who can not afford. One day, they
found the bodies of pregnant women who are poor, they
took him to the cemetery to be cremated.
Among the fifty-five volunteers, fifty people in
them back to the village after sent five people to
perform the task by saying, "You are
do the cremation. "
Furthermore, as a young man (later to become Yasa, son
wealthy merchants) who act as leaders of the five people
conducts pengkremasian with stabbing and
reversing the corpse with a bamboo, he gained
perceptions about the nature of the disgusting and dirty from the body
(Asubhasannà). The young man, who later became Yasa, suggesting
to four of his colleagues, "Friends, look at the bodies which
this dirty and disgusting. "Four of his friends were also obtained
asubhasannà from cadavers (utuja) is the advice of Yasa.
When the five men returned to the village after completing
duty to cremate the bodies and experiences
they will asubha to fifty people more friends
who had returned to the village first, to fifty people are also
obtain asubhasannà.
In addition to telling this to his friends, youth


who became the leader, would become the Yasa, also tells
asubha experience this to the parents and his wife when he got
at home, and parents are generous, and his wife also
obtain asubhasannà.
Fifty-eight people are led by youth
later became the Yasa then developed the practice of meditation
with the object of dirt and disgust of the body (asubhabhàvanà)
based asubhasannà they already have. Thus,
the reality of virtue and fifty eight people at the time
past.
By virtue of past service, in present life,
 as the son of a wealthy merchant from Varanasi,
Venerable Yasa obtain asubhasannà, impressions such in
a state funeral when he saw the dancers. Attainment of Magga-
Phala by fifty-eight people are due to
they have services that support (upanissaya) that
derived from asubhabhàvanà they train and develop
in the past.
