Just for this matter, 500 handsome men actually cut their hair together

Buddhist stories 2023-08-27

A beautiful island stands in the vast ocean southeast of the Kingdom of Shravador.It is surrounded by the sea and is far away from the land, as if it is an isolated and unattainable world of human beings.

The island is flat, like a unique, beautiful and mysterious platform suddenly on the sea level. Moreover, there is a real platform on the island - Xianghua Platform. It is supported by the vast, deep and thick blue, adding a bit of divine interest.The island has lush trees, flowers and plants, lush branches and leaves. All the islands are shrouded in a fragrant, elegant, pure and smooth atmosphere, giving people a refreshing and comfortable feeling.

The owner of this treasure island is five hundred Brahmin women, even more long and short, each of whom is outstanding in talent and noble in character.They live in secluded places, away from the complex worldly dust and dust, without any contamination of the worldly filth and humbleness.

Five hundred women trust the truth that everything must function naturally, and they all respect the world with great sincerity.He devotes himself to the study of Taoism every day, continues to make progress, and never slackewer.It is precisely because they live alone, worship and practice their own way, so they ignore the world and keep their news away, and have no way to know the spread and prevalence of Buddhism in the world. Since they don’t know, there is no way to talk about worshipping love.

In this way, they lived a quiet and widowed life on the isolated island, day after day, year after year.This is too dull and without ups and downs, and some women will inevitably sigh: "We are born as women, from childhood to adulthood, from old age, life is short, and time passes so quickly. Our body will become weak and withered all day until we die.I'm afraid no one can escape this fate.Instead of wasting time and waiting for death, it would be better to go to Xianghua Platform to make a wish as soon as possible. Maybe it will change our destiny?"

Five hundred Brahmin women surrounded each other and climbed to the incense platform.We went to pick the fragrance flowers separately. After a while, each hand gathered together, knelt on the stage, held the fragrance flowers in front of our chest, bowed our heads and silently, and then made a vow to the sky: "May the heaven give our kindness, let us five hundred women be born on Brahma, immortal, and immortal; free and peaceful, and unrestrained; stay away from the mortal world full of sins, desires and filth, and get rid of the earthly world that causes endless worries, troubles and sorrows!"

These women also set up an offering on the incense table, put on offerings, and ignite incense flowers.For several days, the green smoke and incense have been swaying; five hundred women knelt day and night, praying that the Brahma God will be able to be able to be satisfied with their wishes and expectations.

The knees were swollen and the noise was hoarse, which made people feel unbearable, but they still begged, begged...

When the Buddha saw these five hundred women's sincere and decisive hearts, they had to save the popularity of them.So, the Buddha led the vast saint students to rise up and headed towards the isolated island and descended on the Xianghua Platform.

After several days of incense and praying, the five hundred women were already exhausted at this time, and their weak bodies were shaking and they were about to lose support.Just in a daze and confused moment, his heart suddenly lit up, his spirit was refreshed, and everyone opened their eyes wide, because in front of him was a venerable who fell from the sky, sitting under the tree, looking at them calmly and kindly, with five hundred servants surrounded by him.

The women were overjoyed, and all the fatigue, fatigue and pain were all over the back of their heads, and they exclaimed in an agreement: "It's the god! It's the god that appeared! He heard our prayers and came to save us!" Their voices were trembling with excitement.Five hundred women immediately burst into joy and cried like rain.They happily pulled and hugged each other, celebrated and comforted each other.

At the moment when these Brahmin women were hugging each other, a celestial being descending from the sky said loudly: "This is not a god, this is the supreme supreme among the three realms of desire, form and formless realm, with its name "Buddha".The Buddha's magic power and merits are unconceivable and can help all sentient beings leave the samsara and avoid suffering from the three poisons.”

Five hundred women were amazed and quickly bowed to the Buddha to express their difficulties: "We are born in life, and we are women, and we will inevitably be infected with those ugly auras.Therefore, we are determined to stay away from the world, practice diligently, and relieve the suffering of life and death.I beg the Buddha to teach the Dharma so that we can turn on our intelligence.”

The Buddha replied, “You made this wish out of your kind nature.There are two actions in the world that bring retribution that is the fastest and most obvious.That is, good will be rewarded with good deeds, good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds; evil will be rewarded with evil deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds.Which one is worth pursuing, the sufferings of the world and the joys of heaven, the worries brought by people's affairs, and the silence accompanied by the lack of desire and inaction?"

Then, the Buddha began to preach to these five hundred Brahmin women. When the Buddha said that he would not do any evil and do all good; to purify his mind, it was the moment of all Buddhism. The five hundred Brahmin women answered in unison: "I wish to take refuge in the Buddha, listen to the teachings, and practice hard!"

During the wording, five hundred Brahmin women all had their hair fall off and were wearing robes of practice, like five hundred nuns who converted to Buddhism.Later, these five hundred bhikkhus continued to practice Buddhism at Xianghuatai, and finally all enlightened and realized the fruit, leaving the cycle of life and death in the three realms.
