Sayadaw Baddanta Vepulla - The practice of the four verses of the Manijottapatti Gatha

The Manizaw Tawattamayavartha

The fullness of the four-wood - - -

(Namotassa Bhagavadgava Arahantava Sammasambuddha)

The Buddha, who has received the offerings of the kings of men, gods, and Brahmas, who has truly understood the five noble truths with the wisdom of the teacher, the enlightened one, the Buddha, who is the one who knows all things,

In this way, by revealing three of the nine attributes in a special way and worshipping them with the Buddha's first mantra, Namo-tassa, and other good deeds, may the ten powers of siddhis, fully and completely, bring all kinds of benefits and prosperity to the citizens, citizens of the world, the seven daughters and the seven sons of the seven daughters who recite and practice this book of the practice of siddhis of the four mantras of the Manijottapamyar mantra, and who strive to develop their virtues. (On the full moon day after the 15th tithi of Pannarathi, may the moon become completely round, completely, and calmly, giving benefits.)

May all monks who reverently recite these four verses of the Manijottapatti Gatha, and all monks who are constantly reciting them, be free from danger and be free from all kinds of attacks and troubles.

Good, business, jobs, transactions, ideas, goals, standard of living

May God watch over and protect us, especially to help us achieve our goals.

It is finished.

As I reflect on the past many years, I can't remember exactly when. In the past 5 years (I can't remember exactly), I have noticed that my writer's Veppullarama monastery has been bustling with visitors. They come in large numbers day and night. Among them, there are at least a few who want to listen to the Dhamma, want to know the Dhamma, and ask questions about the Dhamma. Economic difficulties, business difficulties, financial problems

The difficulties of the road to success, the failures of jobs, plans, and troubles are all taking their place. Every day, in my monastery, there are many troubles, heat,

There are so many diseases, problems, and troubles. (How did these things happen? Where did they come from? Why do these suffering people come to me? And so on. I spend my time thinking about these things day after day.)

Looking at the audience that comes in every day, they are all smiling and happy, and their business, health, and income are good.

If you look at the people who come, you can count them on your hands. The rest are just people who are uncomfortable.

They are. They have trouble with food and drink, they have trouble with living, they have trouble with buying and selling, they have trouble with jobs, they have been cheated in money and business, they have been sick and cannot be cured.

There are many inconveniences such as selling a farm, selling land, selling a house, etc., and there are many inconveniences every day. (How can I do these things? How can I solve these problems? How can I solve this matter? These are very pitiful. The inconvenience is great, but we have to try to make the best and most possible.) .

(

Those who came to my school, may they be freed from this problem, this suffering, this inconvenience.

"Well, I'll just have to somehow devise a plan and make it convenient for him to get rich as soon as possible, to get comfortable as soon as possible," he thought, criticizing, and constantly thinking and thinking.

I can't tell you how long I've been thinking about it. When I'm not working and resting, the idea of ​​saving this poor person comes to mind. When I'm busy with work and have a lot of things to do,

In other matters of charity, funerals, and charitable works, even when I had set my mind to them, I could not implement them, and it took me many days and months. One day, as I was resting on my chair, the problems of the refugees, the suffering, and the inconveniences began to come to my mind one after another.

Number (1) In my mind, I thought that by giving (supplications) and paying (supplications), I would save myself from such suffering and inconveniences. I encouraged myself by trying and doing it. At present, in Myanmar, every problem, every inconvenience is a hurdle. Every difficulty, according to my own method, system, and principle, I have saved and carried out many things only through (supplications). Some cases have been successful by about 50%, and in some cases, I have experienced success and convenience by 60%, 70 %, 80%, etc. Some cases are problematic.

In many cases, the success rate has been as high as 90%, 100 %, and even up to about 100%. However, the poor, who live day by day, cannot afford to travel with the cost of living. They can only travel (1) to (3) times, collect money, and do it. As time goes by, they can barely afford to eat or drink, and the cost of living becomes unbearable. Because it is inconvenient

If you are suffering from poverty and hardship because of the poem, you are not even equal to Yatra.) It is said that

Even with these methods, I thought to myself that it was impossible to save the poor, the needy, and the needy, and I stopped giving them. (Alms) is not something that can be done only once. Alms are done once a week, or two to three times a week if it is important. Some (some) major problems are done three times a week, three times a week.

There are times when you have to pay a lot of money and work without fail for months. Therefore, I thought that even with the money, I would still be in trouble. Therefore, I had to stop paying (the money) because it was (not possible in any way).

If this does not happen again, we have to think about it in a different way. The second number (2) method is to make a lot of (houses) and

I began to think in my mind that if I could help with business transactions, financial matters, profit-making matters, and matters of victory, I would be honored and honored, and if I could be successful, I would be able to be freed from (this trouble, this problem, this inconvenience) .

So, after deciding that (this method of giving shelter and saving the body) would be better, this method also doesn't work very well. This doesn't seem very logical, because (the shelter is based on behavior, movement, and food. If you go under the house while wearing a shelter, go under a rope, go under a blanket, go into a room with a fire, go to the hospital, go to the operating room, etc., the shelter will be nullified and no power will remain. For some shelters, walking before the funeral, going to the funeral home, or eating something at the funeral home before the funeral is over, these are also the siddhis of the shelter.

It can be destroyed. For some, it is possible that the amulet will come out immediately after eating pork or beef, or the amulet will be lost.) In that case, this method is not very good, it is not very natural, and this method of helping and saving people by giving amulets is not yet possible to implement, so I have to stop the issue of giving amulets.

- If you look at people, month after month (year after year) the inconveniences only increase.

They are suffering from hardships, difficulties in finding a job, illnesses, and lack of money for medicine and treatment. The number of cases of selling land, selling houses, selling cars is increasing rapidly. (Every day, every week, every month, every month is already full, and it is already growing.

Living, eating, drinking and working conditions have become more comfortable. Trading and business income have become more comfortable.

I have never heard of a Buddha. I have only heard people complaining that if one day it comes, it will not be convenient, what should I do, the path is not straight, etc.

In order to save these things, I thought that the best possible way to make them comfortable (good deeds, a good life) would be to find the best possible way. The current methods (1) and (2) that I have been considering and criticizing are still not good. And so, one day (I don't think I will ever forget that day in my life as a writer) that day, a good thought, a correct decision, a realistic light suddenly entered my brain and took its place.

That matter, that subject (Manijota)

(It is said that the four great verses of the great Patmyar Yadanar Gatha were born.) In other words, I was reminded of a short poem that was said by a great scholar before the ancient forest. This is said to be (good deeds, a happy life, the gate to Nibbana). It is a very valuable and correct poem. This short poem is very effective in opening the meaning with a short sentence. There is no need to elaborate. The meaning is already clear just by reading it. This short poem is

It is similar to the path of the good and the noble, indicating the path of the good and the noble. (Manizha Pattaya Jewel) Only four verses of the great verse. All four verses of the great verse need to be recited. Not a single penny or a single piece of paper is needed. The expense of money and money is freed, which is the best. By reciting it daily, the meritorious deeds are reduced.

Without going up, without entering into evil, without entering into the form of one's mind,

Only good deeds will start to take place in me. I thought to myself, "This is a very good way," and I made a decision.
