THE WHITE-CLAD DISCIPLE SUTRA<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus have I heard. On one occasion, the World-Honored One was staying at Jetavana<\/em> Monastery wholeheartedly offered by Sudatta Anathapindika <\/em>and Prince Jeta<\/em>. On a beautiful day, lay male devotee Sudatta <\/em>along with five hundred devotees paid a visit and homage to Venerable Sariputta<\/em> and other monastics. At that time, Venerable Sariputta<\/em> used many skillful teachings to preach the Dharma to them, bring many joyful feelings of the Dharma practice, and help them arouse their confident hearts of thirsting for the Triple Gem.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, Venerable Sariputta <\/em>led them all to a hut of the Buddha, prostrated at his feet, and sat down respectfully to one side in mindfulness and awakening postures. The World-Honored One considerately taught them the key things devotees[2]<\/a> should be diligent to practice the Buddhadharma daily to bring peacefulness and happiness to themselves and to other people right in the present life. (Bell)<\/span><\/p>\n

The key things, namely, are the Five Ethical Trainings<\/strong> and Four Noble Contemplative Minds<\/strong><\/span>. If devotees lead their devotional and exalted lives, and regularly practice them right in the present life, they can obtain perfect peacefulness and happiness, contribute to bringing authentic peace to the many all over the planet. Coming at the time of death, they certainly know that they will not fall into the three evil realms: Hells, hungry ghosts, and animals. Upon understanding and practicing so, devotees have the ability to cultivate, transform their bodies and minds, attain the stream of holy fruition right in the present life.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The First Ethical Trainings<\/strong><\/span>:\u00a0 Devotees who are determined to keep far away from all forms of killing living beings, including creatures. Be aware to nurture and arouse our loving-kindness and compassion hearts by protecting our and others\u2019 lives. Not killing ourselves, not killing living beings by ourselves, not telling other people to kill living beings, not inciting other people to kill living beings, and not seeing other people killing living beings, we rejoice to follow them. Aware to protect the natural environment, give up weapons and violence, practice loving-kindness and compassion, transform anger and hatred, know to repent, correct, and be ashamed of wrong deeds. Thanks to understanding and practicing so, devotees have the ability to eradicate the roots of the intention of killing living beings, lead their lives of peacefulness and happiness right in the world. (Bell)<\/span><\/p>\n

The Second Ethical Trainings<\/span><\/strong>: Devotees who are determined to keep far away from all forms of stealing, not to take what is not given, respect the possessions of other people, cherish almsgiving, help people go beyond needy circumstances, find joy before almsgiving, during almsgiving, and after almsgiving; almsgiving without regretting and almsgiving without expecting anything in return. Thanks to understanding and practicing so, devotees have the ability to transform and let go of their greedy and stingy hearts, lead their lives of integrity and altruism. (Bell)<\/span><\/p>\n

The Third Ethical Trainings<\/strong><\/span>: Devotee who is determined to keep far away from sexual misconduct and adultery lives faithfully with a legal spouse, stays away from kids\u2019 sexuality, spends a proper time looking after descendants, does not allow them to play violent games, limits them to play electronic games online, allows them to go to school, spends a suitable time helping them do homework, and teaches them understanding and love. Thanks to understanding and practicing so, devotees have the ability to build happiness for their families and contribute to bringing peacefulness and happiness to schools and to societies. (Bell)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fourth Ethical Trainings<\/strong><\/span>: Devotees who are determined to keep far away from telling lies \u2013 only tell the truth, do not say anything deceitful and false \u2013 only say reliable and confident words, do not say anything separate and disharmonious \u2013 only say words of construction and suggestions, do not say anything rude and evil \u2013 only say polite and elegant words, do not say anything useless and meaningless\u2013 only say useful and meaningful words, do not say anything despicable, contemptuous, and reproachful \u2013 only say commendable, appreciative, and solidarity words, do not say anything critical, hasty, stressful, and angry \u2013 only say loving, affable, pleasant, harmonious, reconciling words. Thanks to understanding and practicing so, devotees who are worthy to get confident, have the ability to bring prestige and peace to many people. (Bell)<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fifth Ethical Trainings<\/strong><\/span>: Devotees are determined to keep far away from alcohols, intoxicants, smoking, and gambling, especially narcotics, to give up depraved and violent enjoyment habits, such as movies, newspapers, radio, television, not to buy, sell, product, and stockpile weapons and poisons, not to plant cannabis and opium, not to broker and trade in people and rare wildlife.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Be aware that the consumption and use of four kinds of daily nutriments comprise edible foods, feeling foods, volitional foods, and conscious foods in mindfulness and awareness, devotees can abandon and let go of those toxins. Thanks to understanding and practicing so, they can live healthy and lucid lives and contribute to bringing true peacefulness and happiness to themselves and to other people right in the present life. (Bell)<\/span><\/p>\n

The Five Ethical Trainings<\/strong><\/span> have been taught by the Tathagata<\/em>, next are the Four Noble Contemplative Minds<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The First Noble Contemplative Mind<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Devotees should contemplate: \u201cThe World-Honored Buddha; <\/span><\/p>\n

the Master<\/strong> is our peaceful, noble, and spiritual Leader; <\/span><\/p>\n

the Master<\/strong> is the most worthy to be made offerings; <\/span><\/p>\n

the Master<\/strong> attained enlightenment and awakening completely; <\/span><\/p>\n

the Master<\/strong> is worthy to be best honored and respected in the\u00a0<\/span>world.\u201d (Bell)<\/span><\/p>\n

The second noble contemplative mind<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Devotees should contemplate: \u201cThe Dharma of the World-Honored One that has been well proclaimed by the Buddha himself is very practical in the present, <\/span><\/p>\n

has value beyond time, <\/span><\/p>\n

has the ability to transform one\u2019s body and mind, has the ability to extinguish defilements of greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, doubt, wrong view, etc. <\/span><\/p>\n

Taking refuge in the Dharma, a wise one who can also cultivate oneself masters the Dharma, <\/span><\/p>\n

comes and sees, <\/span><\/p>\n

comes and hears, <\/span><\/p>\n

comes and understands, <\/span><\/p>\n

comes and learns, <\/span><\/p>\n

comes and practices, <\/span><\/p>\n

comes and enjoys the flowers and fruits of peacefulness and happiness right here and right now in the present life.\u201d (Bell)<\/span><\/p>\n

The Third Noble Contemplative Mind <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Devotees should contemplate: \u201cThe Sangha of the World-Honored One is the Community going on the really good, true, honest, beautiful, and appropriate path; <\/span><\/p>\n

the Community following the Buddhadharma practices the Buddhadharma and lives correctly with the Buddhadharma.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the noble Community, there are those who have attained and are attaining the first holy fruition – the stream-enterer, <\/span><\/p>\n

the second holy fruition – the once-returner, <\/span><\/p>\n

the third holy fruition – the non-returner, \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

and the fourth holy fruition – Arahant<\/em>, <\/span><\/p>\n

comprise four pairs and eight fruitions of holy people,[3]<\/a> accomplish all aspects of ethics, meditation, wisdom, deliverance, and deliverance with right understanding. <\/span><\/p>\n

This Community, deserving to be taken refuge in, served, respected, honored, admired, and made offerings, is the field of merit good for people to sow and to plant.\u201d[4]<\/a> (Bell)<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fourth Noble Contemplative Mind <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Devotees should contemplate: \u201cThe Dharma Precepts of the World-Honored One \u2013 the Disciplines (Vinaya) and right mindfulness the Sangha receiving, practicing, spreading, and observing are the perfect precepts (S\u012bla) body, <\/span><\/p>\n

are the never broken precepts’ body, <\/span><\/p>\n

are the never polluted precepts’ body, <\/span><\/p>\n

are the never spotted precepts’ body, <\/span><\/p>\n

are the never mingled precepts’ body, <\/span><\/p>\n

are the precepts’ body with the potential to protect freedom,<\/span><\/p>\n

are the precepts’ body leading us to fearlessness, <\/span><\/p>\n

are the precepts’ body leading us to ethics, meditation, wisdom, deliverance, and deliverance with right understanding, <\/span><\/p>\n

are the precepts’ body leading us to peacefulness and happiness forever.\u201d[5]<\/a> (Bell)<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear devotees, thanks to contemplating and practicing the four noble contemplative minds entirely, you have the ability to put an end to cravings, ignorance, unhappiness, sorrow, and suffering, transform afflictions of greed, anger, delusion, etc., go beyond the three evil realms: Hells, hungry ghosts, and animals, obtain happiness and great joy, build a Paradise or a Pure Land right on earth, and open up many stable and good directions for life. (Bell)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After having proclaimed the Five Ethical Trainings<\/strong><\/span> and Four Noble Contemplative Minds<\/strong><\/span> to devotees, the World-Honored One considerately summarizes a verse of easy-understanding example as follows:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You who should be bright<\/span><\/p>\n

Know fear of the evil realms<\/span><\/p>\n

Diligently practice the Dharma<\/span><\/p>\n

To transform all sufferings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Observing the Five Ethical Trainings<\/strong><\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Not killing living beings<\/span><\/p>\n

Nourishing the compassion heart<\/span><\/p>\n

Leading lives of less sickness and sorrow<\/span><\/p>\n

Your longevity always increases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not taking what is not given<\/span><\/p>\n

Letting go of your stingy hearts<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing to make offerings and\u00a0<\/span>almsgiving<\/span><\/p>\n

Bringing benefits to yourselves and to\u00a0<\/span>others.<\/span><\/p>\n

The virtues of the Buddha,<\/span><\/p>\n

Skillfully cultivating good faculties<\/span><\/p>\n

Diligently practicing right mindfulness<\/span><\/p>\n

Enlightenment and happiness<\/span><\/p>\n

Appear right in the present. (Bell)<\/span><\/p>\n

Devotees hear clearly<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tathagata<\/em> set the examples:<\/span><\/p>\n

Observe a flock of cows<\/span><\/p>\n

With the yellow, white ones<\/span><\/p>\n

With the red, black ones<\/span><\/p>\n

The brown ones with yellow spots<\/span><\/p>\n

Or the pigeon gray color.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether they bring any color<\/span><\/p>\n

Or where they come from<\/span><\/p>\n

But their true values<\/span><\/p>\n

Depend on their transportable strength.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those that are healthy<\/span><\/p>\n

are well trained<\/span><\/p>\n

Pull the carts strongly and quickly<\/span><\/p>\n

Transport many trips<\/span><\/p>\n

Are the useful oxen.<\/span><\/p>\n

All over the world<\/span><\/p>\n

Many different kinds of people<\/span><\/p>\n

Kings or civilians<\/span><\/p>\n

Monastics or lay devotees<\/span><\/p>\n

Females or males<\/span><\/p>\n

The young or the old<\/span><\/p>\n

Those who observe the precepts<\/span><\/p>\n

Live peacefully and calmly<\/span><\/p>\n

Become virtuous people<\/span><\/p>\n

Become exemplary people<\/span><\/p>\n

For oneself and for others.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making offerings to people like this<\/span><\/p>\n

Will obtain great virtuous blessings.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tathagata never discriminates<\/span><\/p>\n

Between castes and origins<\/span><\/p>\n

Those who lack talent, virtue<\/span><\/p>\n

Wisdom, and cultivation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not enlighten anyone,<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not benefit anyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making offerings to those people<\/span><\/p>\n

Without great virtuous blessings.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tathagata\u2019s disciples<\/span><\/p>\n

Always cultivate wisdom and virtue<\/span><\/p>\n

Their hearts direct to the World-Honored One<\/span><\/p>\n

Diligently practice the Buddhadharma<\/span><\/p>\n

Diligently support the Sangha<\/span><\/p>\n

Cultivate the good faculties<\/span><\/p>\n

Sow the field of merit<\/span><\/p>\n

Attain Nirvana \u2013 true happiness<\/span><\/p>\n

Right in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

After letting go of the physical bodies<\/span><\/p>\n

You are born up to a peaceful realm<\/span><\/p>\n

Continue vowing to save living beings<\/span><\/p>\n

In the worlds of gods and human beings<\/span><\/p>\n

practice the Dharma together<\/span><\/p>\n

to benefit themselves and other people.<\/span><\/p>\n

After they had listened to the Buddha\u2019s teachings, Venerable\u00a0 Sariputta<\/em>, Monastics, Sudatta<\/em> Anathapindika<\/em>, and other five hundred devotees felt delighted and excited, understood the Buddha\u2019s teachings thoroughly, vowed to practice and propagate the Buddhadharma to bring benefits and happiness to living beings together right in this world.<\/span><\/p>\n
