Original: English fable
Translation: @ Longshan Feijun loves ACGN
A long time ago, in Benares, northern India, an enlightened man was born in the royal family. When he became king, he was called a great good man. He got this title because he is always thinking about doing good, even if it is not good for himself. For example, he took a lot of money from the national treasury to build and operate six houses for charity. In these houses, the poor and needy can get materials and assistance for free, and even strangers can get help. Soon, Shan Zhi became famous for his patience, kindness and compassion. Some people say that he loves all people, just as a father loves his young children.
Of course, a good king will not eat or drink on holy day. At the same time, he also implemented five training steps, that is, giving up five unhealthy habits, including self-harm, theft, indulgence, lying and alcoholism. So he became more and more gentle and kind.
One of the five taboos is to do something wrong in sex. Is this the wrong posture? )
Because he didn't want to hurt anyone, the kindest king even refused to imprison or hurt guilty people. Knowing this, one of his most powerful ministers tried to take advantage of him. He came up with a plan to cheat the harem concubines (NTR? )。 It was soon widely known and reported to the king.
He called the bad minister and said to him, "I have investigated and found that you have committed a crime." Rumors abound that you have lost your reputation in Benares. So you'd better leave here and move to another place. You can take all your property and family with you, and then go anywhere you like and live happily. And learn from this incident. "
So the minister went to Kosara with his family and property. Because he is really smart, he is also called the king's minister here in his own way. Over time, he became the king's most trusted adviser. One day, he said, "My Lord, I'm from Benares. Benares is now like a beehive with stingless bees! The ruling king is very naive and weak. The size of the army is also very small, and it can easily conquer the city and become its own. "
The king doubted this, so he said, "You are my minister, but you talk like a spy who wants to lead me into a trap!" " The minister replied, "No, my king. If you don't believe me, send your best spy to spy. I'm not lying. When the robbers are brought before the king, the king will give them money and tell them not to take things that don't belong to them, and they will be released. "
King Kosara decided to see if it was true. So he sent some robbers to attack a remote village in Benares. The villagers caught the robbers and brought them to the Supreme King. He asked them, "Why did you commit such a crime?"
The robber replied, "Sir, we are poor. I can't live without money. Because there are enough workers in your kingdom, we have no work to do. So we had to rob in order to survive. The king listened, gave them some money as a gift, advised them not to do so, and then let them go. "
When King Kosara learned about this, he sent a group of robbers to rob the streets of Benares. They also robbed shops and even killed some people. When they were caught and brought before the kind king, they were treated as robbers before.
When King Kosara learned this, he sent troops and elephants to Benares. )。
At that time, the bending master king had a powerful army, including very brave elephants, many ordinary soldiers and some soldiers as big as giants. It is said that they can conquer the whole of India.
The giant soldiers reported this weak army from Kosara to the kind king, and they asked for permission to attack and kill them.
But the good king doesn't want to send them to war. He said, "My son, don't fight to keep my throne! If we destroy other people's lives, we also destroy our inner peace. Why should we kill others? If they want the king so badly, give it to them. I have no stomach for a fight.
The court minister said, "Our king, we will fight them ourselves. Do not worry about yourself. Just give it to us. " But the king stopped them.
At the same time, King Kosara issued an ultimatum, telling him to give up his kingdom or go to war. The best king replied, "I don't want you to fight with me, and you don't want me to fight with you." If you want this country, you can have it. Why use human life to decide who is king? It doesn't matter what the country name is, does it?
Hearing this, the ministers ran over and asked, "My king, let's take our great teacher with us. We will defeat them, we will defeat them with weapons and catch them all. We are stronger than them. We won't kill anyone. Besides, if we give up this city, the enemy's army will definitely kill us all! "
But the kind king was unmoved. He refused to hurt anyone. He replied: "even if you don't want to kill anyone, there will always be people injured in the war, and some injuries may lead to death." No one can predict the future-for example, we don't know whether our attacker will kill us. But we can know whether what we are doing is right or wrong. So I won't hurt anyone, and I won't let others hurt others.
Then, the kind king ordered the city gate to be opened for the invaders. He took his ministers to the top floor of the palace and advised them to "don't talk and try to stay calm."
King Kosara entered Benares and saw that no one was against him. So he and his soldiers entered the city and came to the top floor of the palace. They caught the pure and perfect king. The hands of the king and all the ministers were tied (SM? )。
Then, they were taken to the cemetery outside the city. They were buried until only their heads were exposed. But even if the dirt fell on his neck, there was still no anger in the great man's heart. He didn't speak.
They are so self-disciplined and obedient that no minister has said anything against anyone. But King Kosara was adamant. He said rudely, "Come on, let the jackals do whatever they want at night!" " "
At midnight, a large group of jackals wandered around the cemetery. They smelled human flesh and knew that there was a feast waiting for them.
Seeing their arrival, the kind king roared when they approached to scare away the jackal. But many times, smart jackals realize that "these people are put here for us to kill and enjoy". So they're not afraid anymore. The jackal came to the good king.
The king exposed his throat for the jackal. But before the jackal bit the king's throat, the king bit the jackal's chin with his teeth (look, someone hung up! )。 The king didn't hurt it, but he held it tightly, so the king jackal howled in fear, which frightened his followers and they all ran away.
At the same time, the jackal flapped back and forth, frantically trying to get rid of the powerful jaw of the human king. So he loosened the soil around the king's neck and shoulders. Then the kind king let the jackal go. He can wriggle freely in the soft soil and pull himself out (how did you do that? )。 Then he rescued the frightened ministers.
There happened to be a body nearby. It happened that the body was lying on the territorial boundary between two hostile demons. They abuse each other in a demonic way for the ownership of their bodies.
Then one of the demons said, "Why should we quarrel instead of eating our bodies?" Standing over there is the best king of Benares. He is famous for his fairness and justice, and he will divide the bodies for us.
They dragged the body to the king and asked him to distribute it fairly. He said, "My friends, I'd be happy to dismember your body. But I'm dirty now. I must clean myself up first. "
These two demons used their magic to bring clean water, clothes, decorations and flowers from Benares Palace. He took a bath, got dressed, put on decorations and garlands.
The devil asked the kind king what else he could do. He replied that he was hungry. So the demons used magic again, bringing the most delicious seasoned rice with golden bowls and fragrant drinking water with golden cups-also from Benares Palace.
The king was very satisfied. He also told the demons to take the imperial sword from Benares Palace and King Kosara's pillow. It's simple to rely on magic. Then the king cut the dead boy in half from his spine with his sword. He washed the sword and tied it on himself.
The hungry demon happily devoured the evenly distributed body. Then they said gratefully, "kind king, now that our stomachs are full, what else can we do for you?"
He replied, "Use your magic to put me next to King Kosara who lives in my palace. In addition, send these ministers back to their homes. " It was the devil.
At this time, King Kosara soon fell asleep in the bedroom of the palace. The kindest king gently touched the sleeping king's stomach with his royal sword. King Kosara was awakened. In the dim light, he was frightened, and the kind king looked at him with a sword in his hand. He wiped his eyes to make sure he didn't have nightmares.
Then he asked the great king, "My king, how can you come here without disturbing any of my guards?" You should be buried to the neck in the cemetery-how can you be so spotless and fragrant, wearing your own clothes and decorated with jewels and lovely flowers? "
The kind king told him the story of his escape from the jackal. He said that two demons came to him to solve the contradiction. Then he told how the demons gratefully used magic to help themselves.
Hearing this, King Kosara felt very ashamed. He bowed his head to the kindest king and cried, "Great king, these stupid and cruel demons who live on the raw meat and blood of the dead also realize your supreme kindness." And I, a lucky human born with wisdom and civilization, can't foolishly see your kindness.
"I swear I will never plot against you again, my Lord-you are so perfect and harmless. I promise to serve you as your sincere friend. Please forgive me, great king. " Then, like a servant, King Kosara put the best king on the bed while he was lying on a small sofa.
The next day, King Kosara called all his soldiers to his palace. There, he publicly praised King Benares and asked for his forgiveness again. He returned the whole kingdom and promised that he would always protect the kind king. Then, he punished the guilty minister and returned to Kosara with troops and elephants.
The best king sat solemnly on his golden baby seat. The pure white royal umbrella blocked the sun. He taught his loyal subjects: "The people of Benares should give up five unhealthy behaviors. The highest quality of a person, whether a king or a subject, is kindness and compassion. No matter what the reason is, no matter what the cost is, no matter how dangerous or scared, people with these qualities can't hurt others. They must persist in this greatness until the end of their lives.
Under his rule, Benares people lived a peaceful and happy life. The kindest king continued his healthy activities, and finally he died and was born again, which he deserved. )。
The moral is: refuse to hurt others, and a kind heart will win everything.
I found it in the landlord post bar.
