When one is born in outer regions

[gus]

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa

When one is born in outer regions
where the Buddha's teachings are unknown,
and where people are always doing evil deeds
with no idea of merits,
one can never do any worth while skilful deed
even if one is born in to wealthy circumstances.

the 15th century

Venerable Vidagama Maitreya Mahathera

[Dhammañāṇa]

Now, as Deva gus has come out of regions where the Buddhas teachings, the protective techings are known and carried out.

Althought people are wealth in merits by doing a lot of outwardly sacrifies, they are used to do a lot of evil deeds.

ehemayi/eheyi !
(yes sir it is.)
This is how laymen and younger monks reply to monks in Sri Lanka.
Regardless of the acceptability of the statement of the monk, we can protect our selves by saying "ehemai" to anything a monk say, without involving in an argument.
May I say ehemai to you in futur

So listen carefully, now possible by doing a lot of outer sacrifies toward the people who live in the middle of wher the teaching of the Buddha floris, are adopted and carried out by those who follow:

[Dhammañāṇa]

May the merits, the accumulated wealth be protected by unshakeable faith, devotion an love toward those who have layed down the weapons, do not even harm a plant or seeds.
May the shame and fear to be disregarded from old friends and beloved family protect and the power gained by wealth not overhelm the skilfull root.

Listen carefully Deva, listen carefully!

[Dhammañāṇa]

It's usual, for the sake of relation, for the sake of nurishing and grow together, for the sake of identification the short pleasure to delight of what is not lasting, to do a lot of evil, do a lot, no wealth, bondage and relation, no army of friends, dependencies and soldies, no host of Yakkhas, Gardudas, Maras are able to prevent when its fruits, the result of actions ripe.

[Dhammañāṇa]

When a wealthy person harms the poor, mistreates a beggar, mistreats those who have no means to bear or to defend, it might be that those would beg for metta, agree on evil deeds done by wealth, like the wealth by saying ehemayi/eheyi, for the sake to be not cut off to gain relation, to become rich one time.

[Dhammañāṇa]

Willing to nurish, desire for delight on the pleasure, this short lasting bliss of fools, living outwardly of the dispension of the Noble ones, for the sake of becoming, identification and to enjoyment on poision, the illusions Mara binds being(s) in the world.

[Dhammañāṇa]

Less are those, either poor or rich of merits, who are capable to have great devotion, great love, fear to fall apart, shame, to be disregarded, by the family they so strong desire to be part of it.

[Dhammañāṇa]

More are those, when gained great wealth, huge wealth, tread others, for the sake of short enjoyments, abuse, doing harm and not seeing, not having heard the teachings of the Noble Ones, fall from their heavens back into hell.

Difficult is it to gain a good human state, and not to endless turn around the outwardly areas where the teaching of the Buddha are difficult to ever met.

[Dhammañāṇa]

Now Deva, as you have come here, in great love and desire to gain unshareable relations to a family firm and unshare able, asokam varijam khemam mangala mangala muttama,
dont waste your merits don't try to hide, before you fall again behind the wall and even if so near, become incapable to nursh for delight of the protective food this family of Noble One spread to try to nursh those on border lands, old relatives and friends, relations and dependencies they have left behind. Listen Deva, as long as your merits last!

[Dhammañāṇa]

Take all your lasting merits and try to get a human state!

[gus]

Ehemayi

[Dhammañāṇa]

Quick it is, by living in lands where the teachings of the Buddha do not florish, that if having gained great wealth, one does not only enjoy be treadingothers who are now just on the lower side of Maras wheel of short lasting delight,

being drunken don't harm just an ordinary beggar, or and ordinary relative.
Quick one can kill ones relatives, even an arahat, or case a split in families near the Noble ones!

So take all woul wealth gained, all the lasting merits, gained by sacrifies toward the family you so long desire to join: Use it to gain a human state! Sit down now where you are in the middle of an inwardly territorium of those having left home not for coming again!

Bow down to those you so long desire to join! And let them know if your love is of honest desire, of wishing the leave the circle of birth and death, now where there are possible some merits left.

Be quick! Deva! Be quick! Don' waste you time! Easy to fall appart for very long, long time possible never met again!

Take a human stand!

[Dhammañāṇa]

Corrupted by Brahmans, one hardly may see ones chance, delighting in merits, not seeing old age, sickness and death, feeling secure in this tiny rest of merits!

Be quick, as you now here, in the middle of the family you so long desired to join. Your island drifts apparat, you thought being on a secure place!

[Dhammañāṇa]

Many are those, hidding there reality in robes of came, and trade with fools, come and take this "Make your self an island"!

Be quick, and see the wheel of birth and death, by yoniso manasikara! Now as you may have some merits left!

Take a human state, and bow down to the family, you so long desired to join, your illusionary island drifts a way!

The home you hold for real!

Now as you have made the merits toward the family you so long desired to join!

Don't be headless, remeber the pain, rhe many sacrifice the many suffering in times you had been fallen into the realms of poor!
Far away from lands where the Buddhas teachings can be heard.
Sit down, in a human state, don't spinn around like a fool!

[Dhammañāṇa]

Now in the middke of a Buddhafield you made so many sacrifies and assisted to errect for your own and all others benefit.

Sit down, take face, bow down to the Noble Ones!

Former relative, Deva gus ! Don't be a fool and neglect! Be quick!
