Volume 2 Plane Battle, Chapter 181: Lotus Sauce

Bai Wuchang Xie Bi'an continued: In the various paths, the male asura often stirs up wind and waves, is brave and ruthless, and in the heavens, from time to time, he attacks the king of heaven in order to seize the throne. The female asura is beautiful and often confuses sentient beings and makes it difficult for them to practice.

Therefore, although the asuras do not have to suffer, they have a great chance of falling into the three evil realms after death, so they are gradually listed as the evil realms.

The blessed and unvirtuous asura path, known for its belligerence, is blessed but not virtuous, and some say that it only includes him as a ghost or god, or a fallen celestial, and Northern Buddhism classifies him as a good one, while Southern Buddhism classifies him as an evil one.

Blessing is like a heavenly man, and virtue is not a heavenly man. Each province has a level point, and it will be reported according to the cause.

Those who are reborn in the assura path, although they have not done any great evil deeds in their past lives, are very contemptuous, very proud, and either look down on others or are jealous that others are better than themselves.

The detailed section lists the ten karmic causes, including the subtle evils of the body, the subtle deeds of the mouth, the subtle evils of the mind, the rise of arrogance, the slowness of self-improvement, the slowness of rising, the slowness of rising, the slowness of rising, and the return to the roots of goodness.

Due to the traction of karma, asura can be divided into four lives: fetus, egg, wetness, and incarnation. The viviparous is in the human realm, and the reason for the reincarnation is that he was originally in the heavenly realm, but he was degraded because of his degrading!

The wet living person is in the animal path, lives in the mouth of the water hole, travels to the void, and returns to the water at dusk! The incarnate is in the heavenly path, and the birth is talked about.

Yang Zhuochao asked: "I'm sorry, I want to ask! Among the Asura Kings mentioned by Lord Impermanence, there is one named Rahu, which means overcoming obstacles, is it the same person as the previous "Rahu"? In addition, what do they have to do with the "Demon God Rahu"?

Bai Wuchang Xie Bi'an replied: The "Rahu" mentioned by the immortals is definitely not the "Demon God Rahu"! Because it is very simple, the Raja is the son of the Buddha Shakyamuni.....

Before Shakyamuni became a monk, he was the crown prince of the "Kapila Guardian Kingdom", and under the auspices of his father, he married the crown princess Kuli Cheng Yasundhara.

When Shakyamuni was twenty-nine years old, Yasendhara finally gave birth to a son, Rahula. Shakyamuni was overjoyed, but this happiness was not the joy of ordinary men becoming fathers for the first time, but the joy of finally getting what he wanted!

Why? Because Shakyamuni had already expressed his desire to become a monk to his father several times before. But every time he was stopped by his father, and finally relented, as long as he could keep Wang Sun, he would be allowed to become a monk.

Therefore, after Rahula was born, it meant that Shakyamuni was finally able to go and seek enlightenment. Shakyamuni's joy was more in his final liberation.

It is said that the crown princess was pregnant with Rahula for six years, because she was born in the month of the king of Rahura, so she was named Rahula. It is also said that he got this name because he was blinded in his mother's womb for six years.

Soon after Rahula was born, Shakyamuni left home on a white horse. It is said that before he left, he originally wanted to hug Rahula but was afraid of waking up the sleeping princess and was tied up by the princess, so in the end he didn't hug his young son and left ruthlessly!

When the Buddha left, he said, "When I become a Buddha, I will come back to visit this son!" It was not until the sixth year of his enlightenment that he returned from Magadha in the south to his homeland of the Acropolis of Kabira.

When the Buddha returned to China, all men and women from all over the country went out to see the style. At that time, only Concubine Yasendhara and Rahula did not go, and out of self-esteem, she hoped that her husband, who had left ruthlessly, would come to her by herself. Rahula, on the other hand, did not have the concept of a father since he was a child, and grew up with the love of his mother and grandfather, and he did not know how to deal with it.

Concubine Yasendhara maintained the last of her self-esteem and waited anxiously. Eventually, the Buddha finally came, but at the first sight of him, she knew that she had an insurmountable gap with this man.

Although there was pity in his eyes when he looked at her, it was not for her alone, but for everyone. Yajendhara was sad, but he still didn't want to give up.

The Buddha returned to China and followed many monks, so he did not live in the royal palace, but found a pure place. In order to redeem her husband and arouse his affection, Yasendra dressed Rahula as innocent and lovely every day, and followed the Buddha in gorgeous and beautiful clothes.

Yajendra also taught Rahula and asked the Buddha to keep his inheritance to himself. So every time Rahula saw the Buddha, he would follow behind him and say, "Buddha, please give me your inheritance!"

One day the Buddha brought Rahula to Saribuddha and said, "This child asks me for an inheritance every day, but I don't want to give him unreal happiness and treasures, what I want to give him is immeasurable treasures." Saribuddha asks you to take him as a disciple, give him immeasurable treasures, and make him the first novice. ”

In this way, Rahula, who did not know what a monk was, became the first novice in the Sangha. When Yajendra heard the news, he felt that the sky had fallen. After losing her husband and son, her life was already gray, so she eventually became a monk.

When the old king learned of this, Rahula had been ordained and could not be recovered. In the end, he only said to the Buddha, "Buddha, I hope you can stipulate that young people who want to become monks in the future must have the permission of their parents." ”

When Rahula became a monk, he was at the age of playfulness and playfulness, so he naturally couldn't calm down and practice. However, with the teachings of the Buddha and the only reason of the Buddha's teachings, he finally attained the enlightenment at the age of 20 and became the first disciple of the Buddha's ten disciples.

Another theory is that according to legend, when Yasendhara gave birth to a child, she caused a very serious trouble! The Buddha had been a monk for six years, but his wife had a big belly and gave birth to a baby, so the Buddha's family members were very angry, thinking that she did not abide by women's morals, so someone wanted to punish her, and the anger boiled, and the scandal spread all over the country.

The Buddha has been absent for six years, but the Buddha's wife is pregnant! The palace people assured the Buddha's father, the king, that she had not deviated, and that the child was indeed Shakyamuni Buddha's, and no one believed it. In fact, Luo Houluo lived in his mother's womb for six years!

Under the persecution of the outer edges, Yajendhara made a vow: "If I do not obey the way of a woman, I will jump into the fire pit, and my son and I will be burned to death." If I am innocent, the gods should support me, and I will not be burned even if I jump into the fire pit!" He made a great fire pit, set wood on it, and set it on fire, and Yasendhara jumped into the fire pit with Rahura in his arms.

Immediately, a miracle appeared! The fire pit turned into a pool of clear water, and a large lotus flower was born from the water, supporting the mother and son. From then on, the public knew that Yajandhara had been wronged, and the people of the country understood that this was an extraordinary thing, and no one slandered her anymore.
