Ancient India Chrono Journey - Welcoming the birth of His Holiness Rahula
Everybody, the steaming Christmas dinner is coming, as a Sagittarius, although it is not my characteristic to complete the task ahead of schedule, it is indeed my characteristic to step on the point to complete the task, hia hia hia. Okay, now that the greetings are over, let's jump right in.
Today we are going to ancient India again to see the birth of Venerable Rahula, the son of the World-Honored One, one of the ten disciples of the World-Honored One, and one of the protectors of the world. The Venerable Rahula once vowed that every Buddha was born and he would be the eldest son of the Buddha, and Shakyamuni was to become a Buddha in ancient India, so His Holiness also came here to be the eldest son of Shakyamuni Buddha. This time, Sagittarius Yeon decided to continue using the stealth method and visit the time and space where Venerable Rahula was never born as a bystander, go go go~~.
At this time, the Buddha was still the body of the prince, and he had not yet become a monk, and the king of pure rice did everything possible to prevent the prince from becoming a monk and practice, but the prince did not give up this idea, on the contrary, this idea became stronger and stronger.
On this day, the prince went to the sleeping palace of the king of pure rice, greeted his father, and at the same time once again put forward the idea of wanting to become a monk, although the king of pure rice heard the same request many times, but was still very angry, but this time the king of pure rice did not get angry, but said to the prince very gently: "If you really want to become a monk so much, I will not stop you again, but before that, you must agree to one of my conditions." When the prince heard King Pure Rice say this, he respectfully asked, "What are the conditions, father?"
King Pure Rice said, "I am already old, and you insist on becoming a monk, so that no one will inherit the throne in this country, and it is irresponsible to the people of the whole country, so you must give birth to a future king for our country, so that you can become a monk." King Pure Rice said such a thing, while his heart was happy, it turned out that he had already had his own set of plans in his heart, King Pure Rice thought that once he had a king and grandson, then the prince Nian would definitely not propose to become a monk for the sake of flesh and blood.
However, the crown prince did not think about it and replied directly to the King of Pure Rice: "Okay, father, it is completely reasonable for you to put forward such conditions, I promise you." ”
When the prince came out of the palace of the king of pure rice, the prince walked through the garden, and when he saw the prince, he wanted to go and talk to the prince, but the prince seemed to be thinking about something and did not notice the prince, so he silently followed the prince and observed the strange behavior of the prince.
Walking through the garden, the prince returned to his dormitory, and Yajendra also followed, and then the prince noticed Yajendra, so the prince motioned for her to sit down, and Yajendra sat down with some doubts, and the prince said, "Yesandhara, you know, my long-standing wish is to be able to become a monk and seek the truth of liberation, and eventually become a Buddha." When Yajendhara heard the prince say this, her heart rose with sadness, and she could not help but shed tears, and she said to the prince, "You want to become a monk and practice, and it seems that no one can stop this firm determination, so please fulfill one of my wishes." The prince looked at Yajendra and nodded, and Yajendhara continued: "After the prince became a monk, there will be no one to accompany me when I am happy, to comfort me when I am sad, I feel that I am helpless in this palace, can you ask the prince to let me have a son before I become a monk, so that I can also get some comfort." Looking at Yajendra's sincere and pleading eyes, the prince gently pointed at Yajendra's abdomen with his index finger, and then a white light entered Yajendra's abdomen, and Yajendra obviously felt something in her abdomen, and she looked at the prince in surprise, and the prince said, "You are now pregnant, and I have fulfilled your wishes." ”
Soon after Yajendra became pregnant, the crown prince said goodbye to his wife and family, escaped from the palace in the middle of the night, and went to practice and seek the truth.
After Yajendra became pregnant, the original sad and depressed mood began to become beautiful, every day I was in a good mood, and I would go for a walk in the garden from time to time, so in a blink of an eye, 10 months passed, Yajendra had no intention of giving birth, at this time, some ministers and maids in the palace began to talk secretly behind their backs, and at the same time, Yajendhara himself felt a little strange, why there was no birth after October, so he felt sad and depressed thoughts about the prince in his heart. One day, Yajendra leaned in front of the window, looking at the fallen leaves on the tree, thinking that the prince had been away from home for almost a year, and couldn't help crying sadly. According to the current medical theory, Yasundhara will definitely affect the health of the fetus, but Su, the child given by the prince is of course not an ordinary child, or the fetus of the Venerable Rahula is very leisurely in the womb of his mother Yasendhara every day, and sometimes he will sit cross-legged in the belly of Yasendhara with his hands folded, just like in the practice, it is really worthy of being the first tantric practice.
Strange to say, whenever Yajendra has a bad mood, Yajendhara's belly will emit a warm and comfortable white light, and this light will gradually become larger, until Yajendra is surrounded by this light, and Yajendhara who is surrounded by light will soon wake up from his grief, which should be the light of the practice blessings of the Venerable Rahula.
Fast forward to this time, at this time, Yajendhara has been pregnant for more than two years, this kind of thing will feel impossible in the eyes of modern people, it must be crazy, let some medical workers judge that it will be said that this is not a child is a tumor. Of course, for the people at that time, it was an incredible thing that the pregnancy was so long, and many ministers and palace maids had already discussed it in private, especially those ministers, who accused Yajendra of the unknown origin of the child in her womb.
On this day, the weather was very good, Yajendra and the maids came to the garden for a walk, when Yajendra walked through one part of the garden, he saw that there were maids secretly discussing, and when he walked through another place, he saw that the gardener also looked at it with puzzled eyes, but Yajendhara, who was in a very good mood, did not care at all, and bathed in the sun and the fragrance of flowers.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the prince has been practicing for almost 6 years, but the strange thing is that the pregnant Yasundhara is still a pregnant woman, and many people around her are talking very badly, and even accuse her of not abiding by women's morals and doing immoral things behind the prince's back. Seeing that the old minister was very serious, the king allowed him to continue, and the old minister continued: "The king, the princess of Yasendhara, claimed to be pregnant but did not give birth, and this day has been more than five years, and the prince has already left the palace to practice, and the matter of the fetus in the womb is very strange. At this time, the other ministers also began to tell the king of pure rice that they suspected that Yajendhara was pregnant, and at this time, the king of pure rice was a little shaken by what the ministers said, but it was clear that the king of pure rice still believed in Yajandra at this time, so the king of pure rice said to the ministers: "I believe in the character of Yajendra, she will never do anything that will disgrace the royal family, I will investigate this matter again, and before that, you can no longer discuss this matter in private." ”
After retiring from the dynasty, the King of Pure Rice returned to the palace, thinking about the words of the ministers, and his suspicions became more and more serious, so he found a woman who was closest to the princess on weekdays, this woman was also very beautiful, dressed very gorgeously, and the jewelry on her body was also very valuable, it seemed that she was a woman of great status, and the King of Pure Rice relayed what the ministers said today to this woman, and after hearing this, the woman said to King Pure Rice very solemnly: " Yesandhara was indeed pregnant, and must have been the prince's child, and Yajendhara had never had contact with any man alone in the years that the prince had left, and she was very polite and did better than anyone else, and since she was pregnant, her body had been exuding bursts of fresh floral fragrance, if it was a misbehaved person, how could there be a fragrance of flowers on her body? When the King of Pure Rice heard this, he regained a trace of trust in Yajendhara in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, the prince has been a monk for 6 years, on this day, Yajendhara who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain, as if to give birth, then the sky changed, the sky was not yet bright and suddenly covered with clouds, and thunder and lightning started, and at this time Yajendra was really going to give birth, the palace maids began to get busy, and the women in charge of production also hurried over, in everyone's busyness, I saw that Yajendra was wrapped in a colorful ball of light that could wrap her whole body, and the wrapped Yajendra did not have the same heart-rending pain as ordinary women to give birth, Yajendra lay quietly, at this momentIn the colorful light, an extremely bright white light rushed out, and the Buddha's own son, Venerable Rahula, was finally born, and I saw him smiling and sitting cross-legged, very comfortable, in the same posture as when he was in her mother's womb, and all the people present were stunned when they saw this scene, and they couldn't believe their eyes. At this time, when Yajendra saw that his son, who had been in his womb for 6 years, was finally born to meet him, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and hugged the Venerable Rahura and wept with joy.
At this time, some noble ministers in the Shi clan gathered in the palace of the King of Pure Rice, and they accused the boy who had given birth to the prince after the prince left home so far must not be the prince's biological son, and he had never seen such a thing in this world, it must have been that he did something sorry for the prince, listening to the ministers' words and words, the king of pure rice was shaken again, and felt that it was too incredible for such a thing to happen, and it was not in line with common sense at all, and he trusted Yajendra too much before, so, the king of pure rice, who originally believed in Yajendhara, also stood in the ranks of the noble ministers.
On this day, the nobles and ministers decided to execute Yajandra for the crime of disobedience to women's morals and so on, and they forcibly took Yajendra away from the palace and also took away the Venerable Rahula, and the maids in the palace did not have time to react, all this happened very suddenly. Yahudra and Rahudha were taken by the guards to a clearing where a large pit had been dug and a raging fire was burning in the pit, and in the face of such a scene, the young Rahudra did not have the slightest fear, he was still calm and relaxed, and he snuggled up in the arms of his mother, Yahudra. At this time, one of the leading ministers came out, this is the old minister with gray hair and beard who wanted to question the king of pure rice before, he severely criticized Yajandra in front of everyone, listed many crimes, looked at Yajandhara who was wronged, I was so anxious that I stomped my feet, I really wanted to rush over, and scolded them for being so stupid and wronged good people.
Hearing the accusations listed by the old minister, Yasendra held the Venerable Rahula in his hand and calmly said to everyone present: "I, Yasendhara, have never done anything that disobeys women's morals, and the gods can testify for me, if I am innocent, then even if I fall into this fire pit, I will not be hurt in the slightest, but if I am guilty, this child is not the prince's son, and my mother and son will immediately turn to ashes." When the people present thought that Yasendhara must have turned into ashes, the unthinkable happened, the fire in the pit turned into a small golden lotus, in the middle of this golden lotus there was a big golden lotus slowly rising, Yasendhara and Rahula Venerable sat intact in this big golden lotus, at this moment, those noble ministers and the king of pure rice were completely convinced that Yasendhara was innocent, Rahula was indeed the Buddha's own son, these people who saw the truth with their own eyes no longer dared to have any doubts, and from then on respectfully respected。 And the Yajendra who was wronged by everyone, did not resent everyone, but chose to understand, at this moment I really felt the strong heart of Yajendra, even if Yajendra did not practice at that time, but this heart does need us to learn a lot.
Seeing this, Xiaoyan and I also came back from the time and space at that time, in fact, many people may wonder, why did the Buddha stop fornication while he married a wife and had children, and those who saw those who were puzzled here should understand more that the Buddha was indeed a Buddhist practice, and the Venerable Rahula was a white light of the Buddha and entered the womb, not a relationship between mortal husband and wife. The Buddha and Bodhisattva have incredible magical powers, these things seem to be contrary to common sense, but for the Buddha and Bodhisattva, it is just an ordinary household thing, so we must not measure the holy will with ordinary hearts, because we do not have the wisdom of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, we can't see through all this, when we completely rely on the Bodhisattva, have complete faith in the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and completely follow the teachings, then we will get the wisdom to the maximum to break the ignorance and get liberation as soon as possible.
