Prince Ajātasattu killed the Father-King Bimbisāra and ascended the throne as King. King Ajātasattu plotted to kill Prince Sīlava, but could not kill him, because Prince Sīlava, who has all the perfections, this life is the last life, will surely become an Arahant. Therefore, no one is able to kill Prince Sīlava. The Blessed One saw that he knew Prince S biếtlava so well, so he instructed the Great Elder Mahāmoggallāna to use magical powers to rescue Prince Sīlava and bring him back to serve the Blessed One. . Prince Sīlava came to pay homage to the Blessed One, sat down in a reasonable place to listen to the Buddha preach the Dharma. After listening to the World-Honored One, Prince Sīlava developed pure faith in the Three Jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. The World-Honored One allowed him to become a monk in the Buddha's teachings. Not long after becoming a bhikkhu, Bhikkhu Sīlava practiced the practice of meditation, which led to the realization of the truth of the Four Noble Truths, the attainment of the Four Noble Truths, the Four Noble Truths, and Nirvana. table, destroy all cravings, all afflictions without residue, become an Arahant. The Elder Sīlava lived in an area in Kosala. King Ajātasattu heard, ordered a group of soldiers to find and kill the Elder S Ngàilava. The Elder Sīlava preached the Dharma to save the group of soldiers, after listening to the Elder preaching the Dharma, all the soldiers generated pure faith in the Three Jewels: the Buddha said, the Dharma-Dharma- said, the Sangha, all respectfully asked the Elder Sīlava to allow him to become a monk in the Buddha's teachings. The Elder Sīlava taught his disciples to respect and keep their precepts to be pure and complete, summarized as follows: - Hey kids! In this Buddhism, you should study Dharma-study Buddhism, and practice Dharma-practice Buddhism: practice Dharma-practice precepts, Dharma-practice meditation, Dharma-practice meditation-wisdom . The dharma precepts that practitioners practice to keep body and speech away from 3 bodies of bad karma, 4 words of bad karma, keep their precepts clean and complete, bring about all achievements: achievement of the precious fruit of peace and happiness in the human realm, the achievement of the precious fruit of peace in the heavenly realm, and especially the attainment of Nirvana, the liberation of suffering from birth and death in the three worlds and four species. The meditator who wants to have 3 things of happiness: - Praised by the wise in all places. - The mind is usually at peace. - Being reborn in the good world. That meditator should practice dharma-practice, keep his precepts pure and complete, be pure and pure, and be careful in the six doors: eye-door, ear-door. subject, billion subject, true subject, body subject, mind subject not to let defilements depend on the 6 subjects that arise, keeping the 6 pure subjects. A person with perfect morality has many good friends, good friends are wise. People who break the precepts, create all bad karma, make good friends, good friends stay away. People without precepts are reproached by the wise, and their bad reputation is spread everywhere. The virtuous person is praised and praised by the wise, and the good name is spread everywhere. Perfectly pure morality is the foundation, the refuge for all kusala dhammas to be developed. Perfectly pure precepts lead all kusala dharmas to develop. Therefore, you should keep your precepts pure and complete. Practitioners who keep the precepts are completely pure, should avoid 3 bodies of bad karma, 4 words of bad karma, achieve 3 friendly karmas, 4 words of good karma, make body, speech, and mind sound - pure, should generate great-kindness-joyful mind in their pure precepts. The pure, complete and pure precept is the landing to the ocean, that is the Nirvana of the Buddhas of Perfectly Enlightenment, the Buddhas of Paccekabuddhas, and the Saints of the Pure Land Enlightenment. Therefore, you should keep your precepts pure and complete. The perfect chaste precept has the power to overcome the temptations of Mara and the Maras. Perfectly pure precepts are incomparably powerful weapons that destroy gross defilements. Perfectly pure precepts are priceless ornaments, fragrant objects that enhance the beauty of respectable and lovely body and speech. At all times, the pure precept is completely pure as a safety armor that protects from falling in the four evil realms. Pure precepts are like a bridge beyond the four evil realms, beyond the four whirlpools. Gender has many special properties such as: Precept is a wonderful fragrance that spreads with the wind and against the wind, spreading in all directions. The chastity is the most noble thing. When a meditator has perfect purity of morality, his name, fame, and reputation will spread in purity in all ten directions. Pure precepts are essential luggage and belongings of travelers in the good-sex realms (human realm, heavenly realm). Pure precepts are a means of supporting cause and condition leading to the ultimate goal of Nirvana. Those who are ignorant (shy) do not know how to respect their own precepts, so they break the precepts, have no precepts, are always criticized by the wise in the present life, after death, commit evil deeds. precepts for rebirth in the four evil realms, suffering the results of bad karma in that realm. The wise have pure faith in the Three Jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, who are wise and know how to respect their own precepts, and keep the precepts within them. clean and complete, often praised by the wise in the present life. After the practitioner who has completely pure precepts dies, the great kusala kamma keeping the precepts has the opportunity to result in rebirth in the next life in the 7 wholesome desire-sphere realms, the human realm and the six desire-sphere heavens, enjoying all things. peace in that realm. Therefore, you should keep your precepts pure and complete to serve as the foundation for the practice of meditation, the practice of meditation to be developed…”. The Elder Sīlava preached the Dharma teaching about morality, promoting noble precepts to his disciples like that. Therefore, after the male and female attendants took refuge in the Three Jewels and received the precepts, the Elder read the blessing saying: Sīlena sugatiṃ yanti, sīlena bhogasampadā. Sīlena nibbutiṃ” yanti, tasmā sīlaṃ visodhaye! Beings are reborn in the heavens, by keeping the precepts. Sentient beings are full of wealth, thanks to keeping the precepts. Beings are liberated from Nirvana by keeping the precepts. So, keep the precepts pure!" “The Five Precepts are the ordinary precepts of everyone in life.” There are three types of people in this world: three-person people (tihetukapuggala), two-person people (dvihetukapuggala) and non-human people (ahetukapuggala). 1- The third-person class (tihetukapuggala) is a person who has a rebirth-mind (paṭisandhicitta) with all three good causes, namely non-greed, non-hatred, and non-delusion (wisdom) since the first rebirth. human pregnancy. How is the three-person class? In the past life of someone who was a person with precepts, at least the five precepts that are completely pure, have created the three great virtues of high degree (tihetuka-ukkaṭ- ṭhakusalakamma) in the four great kusala-cittas associated with them. wisdom, so this great kusala kamma has a chance to bear fruit in the next rebirth period (paṭisandhi-kāla), there are four great fruition-consciousnesses associated with wisdom called rebirth-mind. (paṭisandhicitta) performs the function of rebirth in the next life along with three rupa-dhammas: kāya: body, bhava: masculine or feminine form, hadaya-vatthurūpa: mind-base reborn as a human for only 1 moment -na-mind, then he belongs to the category of three-rooted people (tihetukapuggala), because rebirth-mind is a great fruition-mind with all three good causes. At birth, that child has inherent wisdom, when grown up this type of person is a meditator who, if he practices the dharma-practices of meditation, has the potential to lead to the attainment of the five forms of meditation- precepts of good-will and 4 stages of meditation without form-worldly good-mind, attaining worldly miracles. This kind of person is a meditator who, if practicing the practice of meditation, is capable of leading to the realization of the truth of the four Noble Truths, the attainment of the Noble Path, the Holy Fruit, and Nirvana. become a saint in Buddhism. 2- A dual-rooted person (dvihetukapuggala) who has rebirth-mind (paṭisandhicitta) has only two wholesome causes, non-greed and non-hatred, no non-delusion (wisdom) since rebirth- reborn as a human. What is a dual person like? In the past life of someone who was a person with precepts, at least the five precepts that are completely pure and pure, have created the dual causes of great wholesome kamma (dvihetuka-ukkaṭ- ṭhakusalakamma) among the four unsuitable great wholesome cittas. with wisdom that has a chance to bear fruit in the next rebirth period (paṭisandhikāla) there are four great fruition-consciousnesses that are not compatible with wisdom called rebirth-mind (paṭisandhicitta) that do the function of rebirth- reborn in the next life with three rupa-materialities namely kāya: body, bhava: masculine or feminine rupa, hadayavatthurūpa: form-consciousness-base reincarnates as a mind-moment human, then that person belongs to the class. a dual-rooted person (dvihetukapuggala), because rebirth-mind is a great fruition-mind that has only 2 wholesome causes (non-greed and non-hatred). When he was born, that child had no wisdom, when he was an adult, this kind of person was a meditator who, if he practiced meditative practice, would not be able to lead to the attainment of material jhāna. - any gender. This type of dual person is a practitioner who, if practicing the Dharma, is not able to lead to the realization of the four Noble Truths. 3- A person with no cause (ahetukapuggala) is a person with a rebirth-mind (paṭisandhicitta) who has not had any of the three good causes (non-greed, non-hatred, and non-delusion) since rebirth. reincarnated as a human. What kind of inhuman people? A person's past life who is a person of morality, at least of the five precepts that is completely pure, has created dual causes of great kusala kamma (dvihetuka- omakakusalakamma) of the four great kusala-cittas that are not compatible with wisdom. -lower-level wisdom, having the opportunity to produce results in the next rebirth-period (paṭisandhikāla) has a result-consciousness that is contemplation-cited co-born with a feeling of equanimity which is the result of the lower-level great kusala kamma of the lower level. about the non-human-minded good-results called rebirth-mind (paṭi-sandhicitta) that do the task of rebirth in the next life along with 3 rupa-dhammas namely kāya: body, bhava: male-male or female form- nature, hadayavatthurūpa: body-mind-faculty is reincarnated as a blind, deaf-mute, crippled, etc. For a moment of mind, that person belongs to the class of inhuman beings (ahetukapuggala), because rebirth- mind is good-resulting without-heart. When he was born, that child was blind, deaf, mute, handicapped, etc., in adulthood, these inhuman beings only know mediocrity in everyday life. Categorizers There are 4 Types of People In the Commentary Vimānavatthu classifies people as 4 types of people: (1) – Manussa: People are really people. – Manussa-peta: People like pretas. - Manussa-tiracchāna: People like animals. – Manussa-nerayika: People like hell-beings… 1- Manussa: What kind of person is he really? A person who is truly human means that he has a human body and a human mind. In this life, if someone has great goodness, a pure heart, and knows how to be ashamed of sin, to fear sin, to be self-respecting, and to know how to keep the five precepts that are the permanent precepts of a human being clean and complete, and practice the ten kusala kammas with 10 great kusala kammas by body, speech, and mind, and create 10 meritorious deeds (puññakriyāvatthu) as follows: 10 Great-Compassion-Karma: - Great-friendly karma has 3 types: 1- Great-good karma does not kill-life. 2- Great-good karma does not steal. 3- Great-good karma does not commit adultery. - Great-good-karma speech has 4 types: 1- Great-good karma does not lie. 2- Great-good karma does not say divisive words. 3- Great-good karma does not say vulgar words. 4- Great-good karma does not speak in vain. - The great-goodwill-karma has 3 types: 1- Great-good karma does not covet other people's property. 2- Great-good karma does not hate others. 3- Great wholesome kamma with right view, right view, right knowledge according to right dharma. That is the ten kusala kamma, also known as manussa dhamma: the good dharma of human beings. 10 Good-Good (Puññakriyāvatthu): 1- Blessing-good giving-giving (Dānakusala). 2- Blessing-good keeping precepts (Sīlakusala). 3- Blessing-good practice meditation (Bhāvanākusala). 4- Blessed-benevolent reverence (Apacāyanakusala). 5- Blessing-good support (Veyyāvaccakusala). 6- Blessing-good dedication (Pattidānakusala). 7- Blessed-good joy (Pattānumodanākusala) 8- Blessings of listening to the Dharma (Dhammasavanakusala). 9- Blessings of the Dharma (Dhammadesanākusala). 10-Blessed-good-right view (Diṭṭhijukammakusala) (1) . If a person fully practices the ten great wholesome kamma and the ten meritorious deeds (puññakriyā-vatthu) thus, he is called a truly human person, because he has a human body and a human mind. 2- Manussa-peta: How are people like pretas? A person like a hungry ghost means that he has a human body, but his mind is like a hungry ghost. In this life, if a person has an evil mind who is not ashamed of sin, does not know the fear of sin, does not know self-respect, is someone who violates the precepts in the five precepts, creating all evil karma , if body, speech, and mind are polluted by defilements, especially the mind of greed, craving, does not know enough, does not know contentment, then he is called a person like a hungry ghost, because he has human body, but the mind covets, yearns like a hungry ghost. 3- Manussa-tiracchāna: How are people like animals? A person like an animal means that he has a human body but a mind like an animal. In this life, if a person has an evil mind who is not ashamed of sin, does not know the fear of sin, does not know self-respect, is someone who violates the precepts in the five precepts, creating all kinds of negative karma. , so that his body, speech, and mind are polluted by defilements, especially if, when an evil mind arises, he acts according to that evil mind, unable to control it, unable to control it. For example, whenever greed arises, act according to lust; whenever anger arises, act according to ill will; whenever delusion arises, act according to delusion, then that person He is called a human being like an animal, because he has a human body, but his mind cannot control, cannot control his defilements like an animal. 4- Manussa-nerayika: How are people like hell-beings? A person like hell beings means that he has a human body but a mind like hell beings. In this life, if a person has an evil mind who is not ashamed of sin, does not know the fear of sin, does not know self-respect, is someone who violates the precepts in the five precepts, creating all kinds of negative karma. Therefore, the body, speech, and mind are polluted by afflictions, especially creating negative karma, becoming a person who commits illegal acts, commits a serious crime, so that person is beaten, tortured, tortured and If he is imprisoned in prison and loses his freedom, he is called a person like hell beings, because he has a human body, but his body and mind are tortured, and he loses his freedom like sentient beings in hell. . Therefore, the Five Precepts (pañcasīla) are the permanent precepts (niccasīla) of everyone, without exception. If a person is not ashamed of sin, does not fear sin, does not know self-respect, commits any of the five precepts, and creates all the evil karmas of breaking the precepts, then that evil karma has a chance. opportunity for the results of suffering in the present life and many future lives. If a person is ashamed of his sins, averse to them, knows self-respect, keeps the five precepts perfectly clean, creates great kamma, keeps the precepts, then he has great wholesome kamma. Keeping that precept has the opportunity for peaceful results in the present life and many future lives. As the Buddha taught the villagers of Pāṭali as follows: * The Suffering Fruit of the Violator (Dussīla ādīnava) Once, when the Blessed One was staying in the village of Pāṭaligāma, the villagers of Pāṭali came to pay homage to the Blessed One, and sat down in a proper place. At that time, the Blessed One instructed the villagers of Pāṭali that: - Hey folks at home! There are 5 bad results, suffering results of people who break the precepts, those who don't have the precepts. 5 bad results, those suffering results are: - Hey folks at home!

Those who violate the precepts, those who do not have them, have a bad reputation that is spread everywhere. That is the second bad result of the person who breaks the precept, the person who has no precept. - Hey folks at home! Those who violate the precepts, those who do not have the precepts, have unwholesome minds, are afraid and afraid to enter the royal association, the household association, the recluse's association, the brahmin association... That is the third bad result of the person who breaks the precepts, the person who has no precepts. - Hey folks at home!

That is the fourth bad result of the person who breaks the precept, the person who has no precept. - Hey folks at home! Those who violate the precepts, those who do not have precepts after death, have negative karma resulting in rebirth in the next life in the evil realms (hells, asuras, hungry ghosts, animals), suffer the results of suffering. in that evil realm. That is the bad fruit, the fifth suffering result of the person who breaks the precepts, the person who has no precepts. - Hey folks at home! Those are the 5 bad results, the suffering results of those who violate the precepts, those who do not have such precepts. * The Precious Fruit of the Precept (Sīlavanta ānisaṃsa) - Hey folks at home!
