Why does the emperor still have to be humiliated? In ancient India, Buddha Thitka Muni, when he was in power, set up a law in which there was a rule that monks were not allowed to deposit money into the Buddha. As time went by, people gradually forgot Buddha's words. In the Tung dynasty, the Han Chau Monastery was run by a monk named Chi Thuyen. Every time he received money from his ancestors, he was not proud to take it or use it. He had a kind heart. One day, a monk in the temple told Chi Thuyen that the temple had quite a lot of money from his ancestors. Chi Thuyen borrowed 100,000 dong. Later, the emperor decided to give him 3,000 dong. At first, Chi Thuyen didn't agree because he didn't want to take the money as his own. But in the end, he still let the other person borrow money. A few months later, the monk borrowed the money and the emperor gave him 3,000 dong. Chi Thuyen borrowed 3,000 dong to buy incense and candles for the temple. In the temple, there was a very kind cat. Every day, he followed Chi Thuyen and took good care of him. When the cat died, the monk took good care of him. One day, Chi Thuyen was sleeping. In his dream, he saw the emperor. In the palace, there was an emperor who looked very elegant. He came to welcome him and bowed to him. Chi Thuyen answered and asked, What are you doing here? Why did you come here to receive such a favor? The emperor said, I was wrong in the past. I suffered too much to be a vegetarian, so I became a cat. Today, I have paid off all my debts. Because of my pious nature, I should be honored. I am the cat that you loved and took care of for 6 years. I still often think about how to repay your kindness. When the emperor came, he had something to say. Not long ago, he gave a monk in the pagoda a loan of 3,000 dong. Although the money was used to worship Buddha, his selfishness was also an unethical act. He had to suffer in hell. Chi Thuyen heard this and was very scared. The monk said, I asked him before. Other methods can only be used in the world when you have to suffer 30 times. There is no other way except that. After hearing this, Chi Thuyen woke up. He thought, I have been a master for a long time. I have always been respected by the nobles and the people. If I accept to be beaten, what else can I do? I should suffer and hope that I can get rid of this misfortune. So he gave up everything to make a bed for the nobles and suffered a lot. For more than a year, Chi Thuyen had to go to the pagoda to worship Buddha. At that time, all the nobles went to worship Buddha. In the pagoda, there were no visitors. Chi Thuyen was angry and had to worship Buddha. Chi Thuyen was angry and had to worship Buddha. Chi Thuyen was angry and had to worship Buddha. Chi Thuyen could only see his action as a miracle that he could never see again. From that day on, he often advised the needy to not take money or of their own self-interest. Before Bodhisattva Thitthaka Moni entered Nibbana, Ananda asked, After Bodhisattva Thitthaka Moni entered Nibbana, which master should we follow? Bodhisattva Thitthaka replied, Vishuddhi means to follow the Buddha's teachings. There are so many Buddha's teachings that have been passed down to hundreds of thousands of Buddhist scriptures. Why didn't Bodhisattva Thitthaka Moni tell his disciples to follow any of those scriptures but instead said to follow the Buddha's teachings? Because the Buddha's teachings are the only teachings that the Buddha left behind. And the scriptures are passed down by disciples for many lifetimes. Many generations remember what has been passed down but leave out what the Buddha wanted to convey. Or some of the scriptures were later increased and stood at their own level and explained, not only did they not express the Buddha's teachings in depth, but also did not have the capacity to do so. Therefore, it can be seen that the scriptures are the most important thing that Bodhisattva Thitthaka Moni left behind. It is necessary for the disciples to follow and keep them seriously in order to reach the standard of a true practitioner. Therefore, when they only read the scriptures but do not keep the scriptures, no matter how long they practice, no matter what position they hold in Buddhism, whether they are a monk or a monk, they are no longer the true disciples of Bodhisattva Thitthaka.
