Sagaing U Bo Thin - Maya Kathi

Modern fairy tales are not just for children to read and enjoy, but are sometimes quite valuable to an individual or a group of people.

Legends usually describe the possible and the impossible. When describing the story, it is about a camel and a fox, a rabbit talking, a tiger and a rabbit talking, a dragon and a man, a monster and a man, and a man and an animal.

Although some elders and modern men call them "nonsense," the stories and meanings contained in these legends are very profound and have many uses in the world.

Even if there is no such meaning, these legends are very useful to some people, because they tend to believe them to be true.

Some legends are created to expose the corruption of the unborn, the tyranny of the powerful, and the injustice of the ruling authorities in order to protect against crime.

Therefore, there may be some texts that can even be useful literature, as they are the essence of the wise, and which are based on myths or non-myths.

In that sense, this article should be considered and observed.

In the Bagan period, in the village of Kukko Taung Pe in Bagan, a peasant couple, U Tok Pao and Daw Chaw, had a beautiful and beautiful daughter. One day, U Tok Pao was complaining like this.

Well.. the pit of poverty is so deep. When will we be free from poverty?...

Oh... Ko Tokpaw, don't complain, just work hard and you'll be rich like everyone else...

My dear, I'm trying my best. I'm also a farmer, but I don't have enough money to feed my family. My daughter and I are now grown up and old. I want to dress like everyone else, but I'm not old enough to wear clothes. If I don't have them, where will I be?

“I’ll tell you when you get there…” “What’s wrong…” “Hey, Thet Pon and I are married, right?” “Hey, what’s wrong with that?”

"They worshipped a god. That's how they prospered..."

"Hey, we're also worshipping. I'll bring another one."

Then, poor U Tok Pao and Daw Chaw, in their desire for wealth, worshipped and worshipped a certain person.

One day, Daw Chaw, who wanted to be rich, asked the teacher this question.

"Please help my disciples to become prosperous, Lord." "Well... It's not difficult for a monk to become prosperous..." "Your order is, Lord..." "You have to give charity..."

"Our disciples offer alms to you every day, Lord..."

"Hey... that kind of donation is called external donation, you hear?" "Please..." External donation is something that benefits you in the afterlife."

"I need to benefit from this life, God..." "It's not difficult, God..." "There is an order, God..."

"You should donate to the inner charity. If you donate to the inner charity, you will immediately receive benefits..." "How should I donate, God?"

Food is also a taste. Among all the tastes of people, the taste of love is the most noble. The most delicious. This can be offered. This offering is called the offering of the school...”

"Please, I will donate to the disciples, God..."

"Daka Maung, you Daka Maung are not pure because they are with Daka Maung. They are pure only when offered to a pure virgin, and they give quick results."

"I will consult with my disciple, Ko Tok Pao, God..."

"We, the Dakas, are also very grateful to receive this donation. Because the monks who will receive such donations... must make special efforts to practice the Dhamma worthy of receiving it. What I confess is that I confess because I am especially devoted to the Dakas."

"Please, Lord..." The monk returned to the school.

When Daw Chaw returned to U Tok, they suggested that they send their daughter to the monastery of the Lai Sayadaw, whom they worship, as soon as possible so that they could be healed immediately. U Tok agreed, as he had witnessed the miracle in Bagan.

At first, she could not agree to her parents' wishes, so her mother, Daw Chaw, had to persuade her daughter to do so.

My daughter Limma, I know, in the Golden City of Bagan, the rich man U Tha Bei is a wealthy man who is used by the king. He even has five beautiful daughters. All of them have been donated to the Buddha they worship. Didn't the village's Kya Byaw and So Htoo become rich right before our eyes? It's not like we have to keep it forever, but it's only for seven nights, and every night is a short time...”

But he didn't tell his mother anything about it at first.

Knowledge is very important to people. In an era where public knowledge is lacking, bad ideas and bad policies easily creep in.

In modern times, the most important thing in educating people is to have knowledge and learn skills so that they can get as close to the truth as possible.

Even in this era when the Dharma is flourishing, people still worship the Three Jewels out of greed. Some people worship the Buddha image made of a tree made of wood, and carry it with them to bring wealth and happiness. Others worship the Buddha image at home, lighting a lamp in the house, and so on. How does this attitude fit with Buddhism?

Even today, some vendors use and demand gifts, such as amulets, amulets, etc., from ordinary people, from teachers, or from worldly monks, in order to sell their goods widely.

It is natural for people to go astray if they do not pursue their interests with due intelligence.

Earlier, he had agreed to the school graduation ceremony to please his parents. After the school graduation ceremony, one afternoon he went to the farm to do his work. At that time, his teacher, Lai, came and gave him a cup of black tea and said:

Misaw. Because of your generosity, the monk who was waiting in the bamboo grove near my school sent me a cup of money to encourage me, and I sent it to you...”

Don't tell anyone about this. I'll be surrounded by witches. Don't even tell your mother. Did you hear that a big fortune-teller came to give alms and offered alms?" "Please..." The old man finished smelling the incense and returned. In this way, the old man often visited the old man who was waiting alone. The old man said that the fortune-teller gave him a piece of silver.

And so, the young woman became pregnant. Then the young woman went to the water and said this:

“Your disciple has a child.” “I want to..” “Don’t act like you want to, just act like a human being...” “Hey, listen to me earlier...” “What...”

"I don't want to do anything because I'm a man. I'm lazy. I can't sell at the market or do carpentry. I don't want to do anything. I'm lazy."

"What should I do..."

"If I disguise myself as a human, I will not receive benefits from others through offerings, recitation of stories, chanting, or preaching..."

"that's true..."

"Can I support you even if you don't make a profit? Think about it, aren't you two already financially strong?"

"So what do you do? Whose son are you going to tell me..." "Okay, I'll tell you...." "Yes...."
