- Thus have I heard:
On one occasion the Blessed One was living in the abode of Alavaka, the Yakkha (demon), at Alavi. Then Alavaka approached the Blessed One and said: "Get out, recluse (samana)." - "Very well, friend," so saying the Blessed One went out.
"Come in, recluse." - "Very well, friend," so saying the Blessed One entered.
"Get out, recluse," said Alavaka to the Blessed One a second time. - "Very well, friend," so saying the Blessed One went out.
"Come in, recluse." - "Very well, friend," so saying the Blessed One entered.
"Get out, recluse," said Alavaka to the Blessed One a third time. - "Very well, friend," so saying the Blessed One went out.
"Come in, recluse." - "Very well, friend," so saying the Blessed One entered.
"Get out recluse," said Alavaka to the Blessed One a fourth time. - "No, O friend, I will not get out. Do what you will."
"I will ask you a question, recluse. If you do not answer me, I will confound your mind (thoughts), or cleave your heart, or take you by your feet and fling you over to the further shore of the ocean (para gangaya).
"Well, friend, I do not see anyone in the world of Devas, Maras, Brahmas, or among the generation of recluses, brahmanas, deities, and humans, who could either confound my mind or cleave my heart, or take me by the feet and fling me over to the further shore of the ocean; nevertheless, friend, ask what you will."
Then Alavaka addressed the Blessed One in verse:
1. What wealth here is best for man?
What well practiced will happiness bring?
What taste excels all other tastes?
How lived is the life they say is best?
[The Buddha:]
2. Faith is the wealth here best for man;
Dhamma well practiced shall happiness bring;
Truth indeed all other tastes excels;
Life wisely lived they say is best.
[Alavaka:]
3. How does one the currents[1] cross?
How is ocean's[2] existence crossed?
How is one's suffering quelled?
How is one purified?
[The Buddha:]
4. By faith are currents crossed;
By diligence is the ocean crossed;
By effort is one's suffering quelled;
By wisdom is one purified;
[Alavaka:]
5. How does one wisdom win?
How does one wealth obtain?
How does one come to fame?
How does one friendship win?
How does one without sorrow fare
When from this world to another he's gone?
[The Buddha:]
6. The mindful and discerning one,
Who in the Dhamma plead his faith;
By his will to hear that Dhamma
Wins the wisdom of Nibbana.
7. Who is tactful and energetic,
And gains wealth by his own effort;
Fame will he acquire by truth,
And friendship by his giving.
8. He who has faith and is also truthful,
virtuous, firm, and fond of giving;
By virtue of these four conditions
Will never in the hereafter grieve.
9. Truth and Restraint,
Charity and Forbearance,
Are the great reformers of man;
If there be any better
Ask of other samanas and brahmanas.
[Alavaka:]
10. Why should I now try to ask
From other samanas and brahmanas
When this day I came to learn
What weal is here and hereafter?
11. This for my weal indeed
The Buddha to Alavi came;
A gift always bears a fruit;
This too I learned today.
12. From village to village and town to town
I shall now wander along
Praising that Supreme Buddha
And the Dhamma well preached by him.
Having thus spoken, Alavaka said to the Blessed One:
"Most excellent, O Gotama, is thy teaching, most excellent. Just as a man would set upright what is overturned, reveal what is concealed, point out the way to one gone astray, bring an oil lamp into the darkness so that those with eyes could see objects; even so the Dhamma (doctrine) has been declared in many a manner by the Venerable Gotama. I take refuge in the Venerable Gotama (the Buddha), in the Dhamma and in the Sangha (the Order). May the Venerable Gotama accept me as a disciple who has taken refuge, from this day forth while life lasts."

To live a life you don't regret, one has to be,
1.Truthfull (words &actions)
2.Wise in all dealings (wisdom)
3. Courageous (rise up from failings)
4. Generous ( giving and sharing)🙏🙏🙏 Namo Buddhaya
All good ideas. Well I guess I better not talk to anyone, as we all make mistakes in life. The only one I can master is #4. Regarding #2 Wisdom..we can't always make the decision like right this minute. Re #3 I have the courage to reach my goals but my spouse insist I do everything his way, which means I can not do what I need to do to take care of myself. #4 is really easy for me. Regardless God will let me in his castle as I have helped a lot of people at my expense. So in my opinion...that's true Love...putting others first. Many times I have sacrificed myself for others....
@@debbie6533 free will is an illusion
Thanks
I'm Muslim and have learned Holy Quran by heart but I really like your way of talking.
Salam to you.
You have learned Holy Quran , congratulations.
Now you should realise the truth of Islam
by learning others Islamic Studies. Like Tafsir, Hadith and spiritual books.
I have learned about Buddha and his teaching and still learning. But it teaches about flee from life. You know that in this
Religion, Religious life and regular life of people is different.
I also know that the truth is One, that's Islam. Though people find it various ways. Thanks for reading.
@@mahbubhasan2416 I express my gratitude in front of you for suggesting me to read other Islamic books. I've already read different books of Hadith, Tafseer, Fiqh, Logic, and even principles of Hadith. I also wrote a book on principles of hadith. I know truth and have firm believe in Islam and its teachings. I just wast to express that his way of talking is very polite, simple and impressive.
🙏🏻🙏🏻 try to practice meditation sir trust me.. It doesn't have anything to do with religion and at same time will relax you,liberate you, relieve urself. You wll be a great muslim. Best wishes.🙏🏻
Tis is a symbol of growth ...when u accept others as part of urself. U'll hav a grt happy lyf❤❤
I am a Christian by birth. I feel the Vedas and Budhism is more spiritual, provided you have a philosophical ability to understand the teaching. 🙏👍🌳
Your videos give me certain type of peace, comfort, hope, inner peace, inner happiness and other utterly positive emotions like that. You radiate peacefulness and extremely good vibes. I wish there were a lot more people like you in this world so the world would be a living paradise. I currently have a goal that I want to achieve, and your videos give me ambition to do that! I hope I can do it! I won't give up until I get it!
then when you get it,then what ?

That’s much needed advice Prabhu ji..... Amen
Though I'm a Christian. I realized I learn alot more in Buddhism on the perspective of life.
Namo, Buddaya. When young easily swayed with peers, anyone make mistakes because of immaturity, but regret mistakes and ask forgiveness from the Lord, and not to fo the same mistake again (Reformation). When grow older wholesome life is going swiftly as thankful and happy and reject quickly wrong practices. Living merrier when you are generous to them who ask your help, helping them as fast as I could, the intention is good. Namo, Buddaya ❤
Yes sir exactly
Thank you
For this wounderful speech
