\"\"<\/a>I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying among the Vajjians at Bhanda Village. There he addressed the monks, “Monks<\/em>!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Yes, lord,<\/em>” the monks responded.<\/p>\n

The Blessed One said:<\/p>\n

“It’s because of not understanding and not penetrating four things that we have wandered and transmigrated on such a long, long time, you and I. Which four?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“It’s because of not understanding and not penetrating noble virtue that we have wandered and transmigrated on such a long, long time, you and I.<\/em><\/p>\n

“It’s because of not understanding and not penetrating noble concentration that we have wandered and transmigrated on such a long, long time, you and I.<\/em><\/p>\n

“It’s because of not understanding and not penetrating noble discernment that we have wandered and transmigrated on such a long, long time, you and I.<\/em><\/p>\n

“It’s because of not understanding and not penetrating noble release that we have wandered and transmigrated on such a long, long time, you and I.<\/em><\/p>\n

“But when noble virtue is understood and penetrated, when noble concentration… noble discernment… noble release is understood and penetrated, then craving for becoming is destroyed, the guide to becoming (craving and attachment) is ended, there is now no further becoming.”<\/em><\/p>\n

That is what the Blessed One said. When the One Well-gone had said that, he — the Teacher — said further:<\/p>\n

\n

Unexcelled virtue, concentration,<\/em>
\n\u00a0discernment, and release:<\/em>
\nhave been understood by Gotama of glorious stature.<\/em>
\nHaving known them directly,<\/em>
\nhe taught the Dhamma to the monks —<\/em>
\n\u00a0the Awakened One<\/em>
\n\u00a0the Teacher who has put an end to suffering and stress,<\/em>
\n\u00a0the One with vision<\/em>
\n\u00a0totally unbound.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The purpose of this website is to propagate Buddha Dharma to the whole world. As we all know that this is the Dharma-Ending age, Buddhism is getting weaker whereas our worldly desires grow stronger. As said before by Shakyamuni Buddha (Scripture Preached by the Buddha on the Total Extinction of the Dharma<\/a>), in this Dharma-Ending age all Buddhist-Sutras will disappear slowly one by one, starting with Shurangama Sutra<\/a> and the last one to be Amitabha Infinite Life Sutra<\/a>. After the first sutra is gone, the world will start to enter a chaotic time where evil deeds will become daily routines. <\/em><\/p>\n
