Nandakovadasuttam)

Thus have I heard.

Exalted One time stay at Savatthi (Xa-defense), Jetavana (United-did), at his residence Essential Anathapindika (Anathapindaka). Then Mahapajapati Gotami with about five hundred bhikkhu-ni went to the Exalted; after coming to pay homage to the Blessed One and stood aside. Stand on one side, white Gotami Mahapajapati Exalted:

- Buddha, the Blessed One Teach Monks gender-ni! White Bhagavan, Bhagavan, please teach bhikkhu-ni! White Bhagavan, Bhagavan go preach to bhikkhu-ni!

At that time, the Venerable (Presbyterian) alternately Catholic Monks Monks world-ni. But he came Nandaka not want alternately Catholic Monks world-ni. Then Bhagavan for Venerable Ananda call and say:

- Ananda, one teaching session today to world-Monks and nuns?

White Exalted, is the alternate version of Nandaka Catholic Monks world-ni. White Exalted, venerable Nandaka not want alternately Catholic Monks world-ni.

Then Bhagavan to call venerable Nandaka:

- Hey Nandaka, please Catholic Monks world-ni! This Nandaka, please teach bhikkhu-ni! This Brahmin, let's sermon Monks-ni!

Venerable Nandaka Bhagavan replied that yes, in the morning robes, holding a bowl y, went into Savatthi for alms. After alms in Savatthi finished, after meals, alms on the road back, no second go, go Rajakarama (United Self). Monks-ni sees venerable remote Nandaka go, after seeing immediately prepared a seat and foot lotions ordering. Venerable Nandaka sitting on the seat prepared; after sitting, immediately wash the feet. Monks-ni him after he came Nandaka bowed, sat down on one side. Nandaka told Venerable Monks and nuns were sitting side-:

- The Hien billion, will have a theory by asking questions. Here, those who know, please answer: "I know." Those who do not know, please answer: "I do not know". If there is doubt or suspicion, here, we should be asking as follows: "Venerable Sir, this is how things? What is the meaning of this? "

- Venerable Sir, to come here, we are very happy and satisfied with the venerable Nandaka, since that venerable invited us (questions).

- Ladies and not so, Venerable. Why so? Previously, venerable sir, we have seen well as the feet, with intelligence chief said, "The six internal origin is impermanent."

- You instead, heal rather, the Hien billion! Government must be so, that look like feet, with intelligence chief disciple of saint. Chu Hien rate, the rate Hien think? Lust is permanent or impermanent?

- Ladies and not so, Venerable. Why so? Previously, venerable sir, we have seen well as the feet, with intelligence chief said, "Six foreign origin is impermanent."

- You instead, heal rather, the Hien billion! Government must be so, that look like feet, with intelligence chief disciple of saint. Chu Hien rate, the rate Hien think? Consciousness is permanent or impermanent?

- What is impermanent, suffering and subject to variation damage, whether reasonable time when the shop was: "This is me, this is me, this is my self?"

- Ladies and not so, Venerable. Why so? Previously Venerable sir, we have seen well as the feet, with intelligence chief said, "Six formula itself is impermanent."

- You instead, rather benign, current owner billion! Government must be so, that look like feet, with intelligence chief disciple of saint. For example, the word Hien billion, an oil lamp was burning; Oil is impermanent, subject to the damage variable; wick is impermanent and subject to the damage variable; flame is impermanent and subject to the damage variable; light is impermanent, subject to the damage variable. Chu Hien billion, if someone says: "This oil lamp was burning; Oil is impermanent, subject to the damage variable; wick is impermanent and subject to the damage variable; flame is impermanent and subject to the damage variable; but the light was permanent, permanent, permanent damage is not subject to the variables "; current owner billion, said such talk is not true?

- Ladies and not so, Venerable. Why so? Venerable Sir, oil lamps were burning; Oil is impermanent, subject to the damage variable; wick is impermanent and subject to the damage variable; flame is impermanent and subject to the damage variable. And say to the light, as well as impermanent, subject to the variable damage!

- That is right, this Hien billion! If someone says as follows: "Six foreign origin is impermanent, conditioned and six foreign origin, I have feelings, touch sensation, pain or no pain no communication Life expectancy; sensations are permanent, permanent, permanent, not subject to variations damage "; Hien this rate, he had righteously say no?

- No, the venerable sir. Why so? Venerable Sir, conditioned by this, this feeling like this, like this start-up. Due to kill the coast like this, like this, the feeling like this, like this and turn away.

- You instead, heal rather, the Hien billion! Government must be so, that look like feet with intelligence chief disciple of saint. For example, the percentage of Hien, large upright tree with the tree, with roots impermanent, subject to the damage variable, the trunk is impermanent, subject to the damage variable, the leaves impermanent, subject to the damage variable with shade impermanent, subject to the damage variable. If someone says as follows: "There is a large upright tree with the tree, whose root is impermanent, subject to the damage variable, the trunk is impermanent, subject to the damage variable, the leaves impermanent, subject to the damage variable, but the shade of the tree that is permanent, permanent, permanent, refused to turn corrupt "; Hien this rate, he had righteously say no?

- No, the venerable sir. Why so? Venerable Sir, large upright tree with the tree, the roots impermanent, subject to the damage variable, with trunk impermanent; bear the damage variable, which leaves impermanent, subject to the damage variable. Also mention the shade, as well as impermanent, subject to the variable damage!

- That is right, this text comes billion! If someone says as follows: "The six internal origin is impermanent, conditioned by six foreign origin and I felt this sensation, touch sensation, pain or no pain no communication Life expectancy; sensations are permanent, permanent, permanent, not subject to variations damage "; Hien this rate, he can not rightly say?

- No, the venerable sir. Why so? Venerable Sir, conditioned by this, this, feeling like this, like this start-up. Due to kill the coast like this, like this, the feeling like this, like this and turn away.

- You instead, rather benign, current owner billion! Government must be so, that look like feet with intelligence chief disciple of saint. For example, the percentage of Hien, a butcher or slaughter cows skilful practitioner; after killing a cow, cow cutting with a sharp knife of the butcher to kill the cow, but not damaged in the flesh, the skin is not damaged parts, then with a sharp knife of the butcher slaughter cows, cut, trim, crop eradication of all the meat in strings; sinew inside, inside wire joints; after cut, trim, crop eradication and after peeling the skin, covering the cow that was the main cowhide and said, "The cow was attached to the skin as before"; This rate of Hien, said such words are not right feet? "

- No, the venerable sir. Why so? Oil, venerable sir, butcher or slaughter cows that skillful practitioner after killing a cow ... (as above) ... the cow was covered with cowhide key can say that again follows: "The cow was attached to the skin as before," Oil bulls have been stripped out of her skin.

- I made this example, the percentage of Hien, is to specify the meaning. Here, the meaning is as follows: Newbie Hien billion, meat inside is synonymous with six internal origin. Chu Hien billion in external skin is synonymous with six foreign origin, current owner billion, wire inside flesh, sinew inside, inside wire joints is synonymous with sexual joy and participate. Chu Hien billion, kill the cow butcher knife sharp is synonymous with St. wisdom. With this wisdom St. cut, trim, crop eradication internal negativity, internal fetters, internal bondage.

Chu Hien billion, seven factors of enlightenment, by practice, making this prolific seven factors of enlightenment, the bhikkhu with the cessation of illegal or, for themselves within the current knowledge to the upper position; attainment and dwell, outflows freedom of mind, mental liberation. What is seven? Here, the current owner billion, Monks practicing enlightenment thought, he just renunciation, he just dispassion, he just annihilated, navigate to abandon; trạch legal practice of enlightenment, enlightenment diligent practice, practice Enlightenment joy, equanimity enlightenment practice, the practice of enlightenment, enlightenment discharge practice, only renunciation y, y only dispassion, y just annihilated, navigate to abandon. Chu Hien billion, the seven factors of enlightenment, by practice, making fullness, bhikkhu with the cessation of illegal or after for themselves within the current knowledge, the upper position and dwell attained outflows freedom of mind, mental liberation.

Then he came Nandaka, after the Catholic world Monks and nuns that the word Catholic world, immediately to disperse:

- Chu Hien billion, go on, time has come.

Monks and nuns And then, after the credits happy life Nandaka venerable words taught, from the seat stood up, bowed venerable Nandaka, Organic body towards the venerable, and went to the Blessed One; after coming to pay homage to the Blessed One and stood aside. Bhagavan told Monks-ni was standing on one side:

- Hey Monks-ni, go. Time has come.

Then Monks-ni was, after worship the Exalted, the organic body towards him and then went away. Then Bhagavan, after the bhikkhu-ni went away soon, called the monks and said:

- Hey Monks, such as at the date of the Bodhisattva, the fourteenth day, the masses no doubt or suspicion that the moon is not the moon is round and round as the moon was not full; also, the Monks, Monks oil-ni was happy with Nandaka sermons, but their minds are not satisfied.

Then Bhagavan told venerable Nandaka:

- This Nandaka So, tomorrow, he will be teaching gender-ni Monks was presented to all teachers.

- Ladies and yes, white Exalted.

Venerable Nandaka Bhagavan replied yes.

Then he came Nandaka, after the night was over, morning robes, holding a bowl y, went into Savatthi (Xa-defense) for alms. After seeking alms in Savatthi finished, after meals, begging on the streets back, itself alone go to Rajarama. The monks-ni sees venerable Nandaka travel distance; after the show, and he prepared a seat and foot lotions ordering. Venerable Nandaka were prepared to sit on the seat; after sitting, immediately wash the feet. The monks-ni venerable Nandaka he bowed and sat down on one side. Nandaka told Venerable Monks-ni was sitting on one side:

- The Hien billion, will have a theory by asking questions. Here, those who know the answer: "I know." Those who do not know, please answer "I do not know". If anyone has doubts or hesitation, here, we should be asking as follows: "Venerable Sir, this is how things? What is the meaning of this? "

- Venerable Sir, to come here, we are very happy and satisfied with the venerable Nandaka, since that venerable invited us (ask)!

- Chu Hien rate, the rate Hien think? Eyes are permanent or impermanent?

- Venerable Sir, impermanence.

- What is impermanent ... (as on page 612 to page 620 ... of doing this). Let's go, this Monks and nuns came hours.

The Sun, after the bhikkhu-ni went away soon, Bhagavan called Monks and said:

- Hey Monks, such as at the date of the Bodhisattva, the full moon day, the masses no doubt or wonder that the moon is not the moon is round and round, because when the moon was full; also, the Monks, nuns Monks was happy with the sermon of venerable Nandaka, and their minds are satisfied. This Monks, in the hundred years that bhikkhu-ni, ni Monks-The final witness was saved, no longer oppressed and lost, and surely reach enlightenment.
