    To save all sentient beings:

    There was a woman named Bomo. Although her husband was very wealthy, the man farmed and the woman weaved, and they were very affectionate.

    Whenever her husband was busy in the fields, Bomo would always go to the fields to help him after finishing the housework.  They also have two innocent and lovely children and a happy family life.

    One day, after her husband went to the fields, Bomo was breastfeeding her youngest son under a tree by the sea while her eldest son was playing on the beach.  She patted her little son, happiness filling her heart.

    However, happiness in this world will not last long. How did Bomo know that when she finished feeding the baby and put him under the tree, disaster had already begun to befall her¡ª¡ª

    The husband who was harvesting crops in the field was bitten by a venomous snake that sprang out, and he soon died of the poison

    A ferocious vulture suddenly descended from the sky, picked up the child under the tree, and disappeared in an instant

    The sea set off rough waves and rolled up the eldest son who was on the beach

    In just one day, Bowmore lost her husband and two children.  She was devastated, looking at the flames burning her husband's body, and deeply felt the pain of the world.  Bomo, whose family was ruined, took refuge in the Buddha and prayed devoutly for liberation.  Under the enlightenment of the Buddha, she devoted herself to practice, worked bravely and diligently, and later became a famous female Buddhist disciple.

    Cutting meat to feed eagles:

    The Buddha once went out.  I happened to encounter a hungry eagle chasing a poor pigeon.

    The dove said to the eagle: "Please let me go! If you miss me, there will be another one, but this is the only life I have."

    The eagle said: "I don't know what you're saying, but I'm starving now. You can't live without eating. It's not easy for everyone in this world, and I won't pursue you until you are pushed to a dead end."  "

    After hearing this, the Buddha felt compassion, so he stretched out his hand to hold the dove and hid it in his arms.

    The eagle was furious and argued with the Buddha, "Shizun, you are so merciful and merciful that you saved this pigeon's life. Can you bear to see me, the eagle, starve to death?"

    The Buddha said: "I can't bear you hurting this innocent pigeon. And I don't want you to starve to death in vain. If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"

    So the Buddha took out a scale and let the doves fly.  Put the meat cut from yourself on the other side.

    Although this pigeon looks small, no matter how much the Buddha cuts it or how much flesh it cuts, it seems that it cannot lift its weight.

    When the World Honored One cut off the last piece of flesh, the scales were finally balanced.

    The situation in the world changed color, and the real Buddha was born.

    In the eyes of Buddha.  All things are interdependent and have their own destiny. No one can force it. However, all creatures are not just ordinary people. What is the purpose of fighting for survival in this unkind world, fighting for life?  All in order to survive.  He just wanted to live a good life, which was why he cut the meat and fed it to the hawks to save the pigeons.  If the eagle dies, he is not killing a living being. How can it be said to be fair?

    The Buddha once said to his disciples:

    There used to be a king named Renavarmi. He was kind-hearted, understanding of the people's sentiments, and was highly praised.  Since he had no children, he prayed devoutly to the Emperor of Heaven.  Soon the queen gave birth to a son, known as the Prince of Good Deeds. The prince was very obedient and wise when he was young, and he was familiar with the scriptures and understood their meanings.

    He often sits under the bodhi tree and meditates, or listens to the monks chanting sutras and preaching. People who have seen him say that he looks majestic and resembles the Emperor of Heaven.

    One day, he was passing through the countryside and saw a farmer plowing a field, so he got out of the car to try it. Then he saw something like this - when the land was being plowed, many insects and ants in the ground were driven out: a toad took the opportunity to feast on the insects and ants;  A snake swallowed another toad; then a great eagle flew up and ate the snake.

    After the prince saw it, he was filled with emotion and felt particularly unhappy.  On the one hand, he visited famous mountains with the imperial master to study and find the way. On the other hand, he advised his parents to do more good deeds and to be more considerate of the suffering of the people.  Later, when the Prince of Good Deeds arrived at Gongliu Mountain, many goddesses held jewels and dedicated them to him.  The Buddha finally said: The prince of good deeds at that time is me now!  King Renavami is now King Suddhodana, and the queen at that time was my mother Mahaboya.

    Finally, the Buddha, Sakyamuni, preached to several disciples and came to a river, and then took a bath in the river.  After taking a bath, the disciples set up a rope ceremony between several Brahma trees. Sakyamuni lay on his side, leaning on his right hand, and said to the disciples, I am old and will die soon. After I die, you don¡¯t want to  Because he lost his mentor, he gave up on himself, but he wanted to vigorously promote Buddhism and save the world.  After saying that, he?Dead

    There are ten titles for Buddha:

    1. Tathagata: Take the path of truth to achieve enlightenment.

    2. Should be provided: should be supported by humans and heaven.

    3. Right and omniscient: Comprehensive and true knowledge of all Buddha Dharma.

    4. Fully aware of the three luminaries (fate, heavenly eye, and the end of leakage) and the five elements (holy, Brahma, heaven, infant, and disease).

    5. Good passing away: Entering into nirvana without any remainder in a very comfortable way.

    6. Worldly understanding: able to understand all things in the world.

    7. Supreme Scholar: The supreme scholar.

    8. Regulatory husband: A man who can adjust his management and practice methods.

    9. Teacher of gods and humans: Buddha is the teacher of all gods and humans.

    10. Buddha, World Honored One: Buddha should be respected by all people in the world.

    The titles of the ten Buddhas correspond to the ten disciples of the Buddha:

    Shariputra - the first in wisdom

    Shariputra, also known as Shariputra, was born in a Brahmin family near Rajagaha.  His father was a great Brahman scholar.  Because he was influenced by his family since childhood, he was very proficient in Brahmanism.  When he grew up, he and his relatives and friends, namely his Taoist friend Moggallana who later became a monk with him, shared the same goals. Together they preached and taught in the countryside, and each had thousands of disciples.  Once when he and Moggallana were traveling, they met Bhikkhu Ma Sheng, a disciple of the Buddha. He heard the verse "All dharmas arise due to causes and conditions, and all dharmas cease due to causes and conditions. I, the Buddha, the great ascetic, often say this", which gave rise to his interest in Buddhism.  Belief.  Soon, he led all his disciples to convert to Buddhism.  Sariputta was already a very famous Brahmin scholar before he became a monk. His ordination greatly enhanced the reputation and might of the Buddha at that time.  After Shariputra converted to the Buddha, he "keeps the precepts and learns a lot, is content with few desires, has right mindfulness, and is quick and wise" and was highly praised by the Buddha.  He has many virtues, among which he is especially famous for his profound and vast wisdom. The Buddhist scriptures call him "infinite wisdom, able to resolve all doubts, assisting in sanctification, and understanding saints." Therefore, he is "the first in wisdom" among Buddhist disciples.  title.

    Shariputra followed the Buddha for more than 40 years, assisted the Buddha in propagating the Dharma and saved his life, and made great contributions to the spread and development of the Buddha's teachings.  Finally, he couldn't bear to see his mentor Buddha's nirvana, so he asked the ancestor Buddha to pass away, and got the Buddha's permission.  When he passed away, he returned to his hometown where he had been away for many years, met his eighty-year-old mother for the last time, and gave his last sermon to the people of his hometown, and then peacefully entered nirvana.  His move reflects that Buddhism also attaches great importance to family ties among human beings.

    Moggallana - the first in supernatural power

    Moggallana is also known as "Maha Moggallana", "Da Moggallana", "Moggallana" and other names.  Before he became a monk, he had a close relationship with Shariputra, a Brahman disciple. Later, he met Bhikkhu Ma Sheng and converted to the Buddha together.  After Moggallana became a monk, he practiced hard and acquired extraordinary magical powers.  He once used his supernatural power to see through the temptation of the lotus woman, and received great praise from the Buddha.  He also won the title of "Number One in Supernatural Power" among Buddhist disciples.  Moggallana actively assisted the Buddha in propagating Dharma and saved his life, and was an important assistant to Buddha in propagating Dharma throughout his life.  Therefore, the Buddha called him and Shariputra the "two wise men" among his disciples.  Buddha once said: "These two people should be the most superior among my disciples, with immeasurable wisdom and spiritual feet."

    Moggallana is also a model of filial piety in Buddhism.  According to the "Moggallana Saves His Mother Sutra", Moggallana once used his supernatural power to learn that his biological mother fell into hell and suffered great suffering due to the great evil deeds she had committed during her lifetime, and sought help from the Buddha.  The Buddha told him that on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, he should put various kinds of food and drinks in the Ullambana basin and offer them to the monks.  Moggallana followed this example and finally his mother was saved.  Later generations used this method to save the souls of the dead and formed the "Obon Festival" festival.  This festival has been popular in Buddhism and secular society for thousands of years, and Moggallana has become famous throughout the ages.  For a monk with infinite wisdom and a Buddhist to be able to receive such respect is truly a blessing in disguise.

    Analu¡ª¡ªThe most powerful eye in the sky

    Analytha means "what you wish for", "no greed", "no destruction for wishful thinking".  It is often called "Arutu" in Buddhist scriptures.  He is the son of Buddha's cousin and uncle, King Ganlu Fan (aka White Rice King).  When the Buddha returned to his hometown Kapilavastu City to preach Dharma in the sixth year of his enlightenment, he became a monk with the Buddha.  Among Buddhist disciples, he is known as the "first in heavenly eye".  He also has a very shameful history in obtaining this magical power.  One time, Anuruddha fell asleep due to fatigue while listening to the Buddha's sermon. When the Buddha found out, he severely criticized him.  For this, he felt deeply ashamed and vowed never to sleep again and to practice Taoism diligently.  After seven days and seven nights, his eyes became blind.  When the Buddha learned about this, he felt very sorry for him and taught him to practice concentration.  He followed the Buddha's teachings, worked tirelessly and diligently all day long, and finally his eyes were opened wide, and he gained clairvoyance. "Seeing Jambudvipa is like looking at the Amara fruit in the palm of your hand."

    Analuddha also has the Mahayana thought of actively saving the world. He once said to the Buddha: Being content with few desires and practicing diligently are the prerequisites for a Buddhist monk. It is the duty of Buddhist disciples to forget about the ego and spread the Dharma to benefit living beings.  His words and deeds were greatly appreciated by Buddha.  Targeting his Mahayana rootOn this occasion, the Buddha also preached the Mahayana classic "The Eight Great Enlightenment Sutras" specifically to him, and spoke to him about the eight important things in practicing Mahayana practice.  In addition, Analudu also participated in the first collection of Buddhist scriptures in Buddhism and was also an important founder of Buddhism.  (To be continued)
