【Buddhist Story】The Story of the Ten Extravagant Kings

Once upon a time, Yan Futi had a king named The Ten Luxury Kings. The king's queen gave birth to a son named Rama, and the second queen also gave birth to a son named Rama.

Prince Rama was very brave and mighty, like a god. He had a precious weapon, the fan snail, and as long as the enemy saw the image of this weapon or heard the sound of it blowing, there was no one who fled without losing his soul and falling into the wilderness, so Prince Rama was always the winner in battle, and no one could resist him.

The three queens also gave birth to a son named Borodok, and the fourth queen gave birth to a son named The Destroyer of Evil. The Ten Noble Kings loved the Three Queens the most, and often said to the Three Queens, "Whatever gold and silver treasure you want, I can satisfy you." You say! What good things do you want? Whatever it is, I will not be stingy. ”

The Three Queens said, "I have no demands. If I want something, I'll tell the king later. "Once, the Ten Noble Kings fell seriously ill and ordered Prince Rama to handle the affairs of the state in his place. Every day, Rama tied his hair with a brocade, put on a crown made of treasure, and sat on the king's throne to listen to the government, and his appearance was exactly the same as that of the king.

During the days when the Ten Luxury Kings were ill, the Three Queens guarded the sick bed day and night, asked for warmth, changed clothes and delivered food, and took good care of them. The Ten Luxury Kings were very touched in their hearts. One day, he felt that his health was much better, his spirit was better, his mood was more pleasant, he remembered the hard work of the three queens these days, and felt that he must give her some reward, so he said to the three queens: "Before I asked you what you needed, you always said that you would talk later, and never asked for anything." Today, you must make a request, and I swear with my life that whatever you ask, I will promise you. ”

The Three Queens had always had a heart disease, and she thought that if the Ten Extravagant Kings died, Rama would definitely take the throne, and her son Borodau would have nothing to gain. When she heard that the Ten Noble Kings must make a request of their own, she took the opportunity to say, "Great King! I happen to have a request, but if you want to believe what you say, you must fulfill my wish! ”

The Ten Extravagant Kings said, "Good! I will certainly satisfy you. The three queens said, "Well, I ask you to abolish Rama and make my son Borodok the crown prince." Long live you, let Borodha inherit the throne. ”

The Ten Luxury Kings were stunned, and they never expected that the Three Queens would make this request. Of the four sons, he loved Rama the most and had great expectations for him. The request of the three queens is as if something has been stuffed in his esophagus, swallowed, can not swallow; spit, spit out, choked up and breathless, do not know what to do. I thought, 'If I want to abolish Rama, how can I give it up?' But if Rama is not abolished, then won't the assurance that I just 'believe in what I say' become an empty phrase? ”

The Ten Noble Kings had no choice but to say to the Three Queens, "You should still make another request!" As long as it is not this requirement, whatever else, I will certainly satisfy you. I can satisfy you all three... No, meet your ten requirements. ”

But the Three Queens insisted, "I have no other hope, only this." The Great King, you promised me that you must believe what you say, but you cannot regret it! ”

The Ten Noble Kings thought, "I have never lost faith, so how can I make an exception now?" Moreover, to be a king, you must have no jokes, which is also the foundation of the country. Thinking of this, he had no choice but to order the abolition of Rama and the appointment of Borodok as the crown prince.

The clothes and crowns that Rama had worn were also handed over to Brahma. Luo Man was very good with Rama since he was a child, and when he saw that his brother's position as prince had been abolished and his clothes had been stripped away, he was very unconvinced, so he said to Rama, "You have the strength to pull up mountains and the world, and you have an invincible fan snail, why don't you take it out and use it, and endure this shame?" ”

Rama said to his brother, "A filial son should not disobey his father's orders. Although the three queens were not my biological mother, since her father respected and loved her, she was like my biological mother. Besides, Borodok has a gentle temperament and has always been friendly with us, and he himself has not had the slightest bad thoughts. Although I have full strength and a precious fan, how can I do something wrong to my father, mother, and brother and harm them? ”

Luo Man listened to his brother's words and did not say a word. At this time, the Ten Noble Kings issued another order, exiled Rama and Luo Man to the mountains, and it would not be allowed to return to China until twelve years later.

When the Rama brothers received the order, they did not resent their father in their hearts, so they bid farewell to their parents, left their hometown, and went to live in seclusion in the mountains far away.

At that time, the Brahmins were in other countries, so he did not know anything about this series of changes that had occurred in the country. One day, he was called back to the country, and when he arrived home, he learned that his father had died, and because of his mother, the two brothers were exiled to the mountains, but he himself was made king.

Borodho had a good relationship with his two brothers, had a harmonious relationship, and was humble and conciliatory to each other, and when he returned home to learn about the situation, he was very angry and felt that what his mother had done was too unreasonable. He rushed to find his mother, and he couldn't even care about the etiquette of kneeling when he met, and said, "Mother, what have you done?" How can this not make sense!

By doing so, you will bring us the curse of extinction. Then he went to see the Great Queen and the Second Queen, and bowed down to them respectfully, several times more respectfully than before.

Then, Borodok led the national army into the mountains in search of the two brothers. When the centaurs reached the foot of the mountain, Borodoko let the army stand on the spot and went into the mountain alone to look for it. Rama and Rama lived in seclusion in the mountains, and one day, they heard the people at the foot of the mountain shouting horses, and the flags were flying, and if they looked closely, it turned out that Brahta had come with an army.

Rama said to Rama, "You used to praise Brahma vigorously, saying that he was courteous and obedient, and you see, he has just ascended to the throne and immediately led an army to kill his brothers. ”

While the two were in a state of uncertainty, Borodok came looking for them. Seeing the two brothers, Borodoi was surprised and delighted, and with tears in his eyes, he fell to the ground.

Luo Man scolded Brahma and said, "What do you want to do here with so many armies today?" Brado listened, knowing that his brothers had misunderstood, and quickly defended: "Because the road is far away, I am afraid that I will encounter robbers on the road, so I take the army." This is purely for self-defense and has no other meaning. I entered the mountain this time because I wanted to take my brother back to China, that is, to become the king and govern the country. ”

Rama replied, "Earlier, I was exiled here on the orders of my father. Today, how can I just go back? If I do, I am a disloyal and filial piety. "Resolutely reluctant to return home.

Brahmin pleaded repeatedly, but Rama was determined and refused. Brahma saw that Rama had made up his mind, so he had to obey Rama's words and return to the country alone. Before leaving, he took off a pair of torn deerskin shoes worn by his brother's feet, respectfully held them in his hands, and returned home with his head down.

Upon his return, Brodold took on the task of governing the country. He placed Rama's torn deerskin shoes on the throne, and greeted them every morning and evening, as if facing Rama; on weekdays, he always sat on a small stool next to the throne, indicating that the real king was still his brother Rama, and he was only acting as Rama's regent. He also often sent people to the mountains to meet his brothers, send them various items, and asked them to return as soon as possible.

But Rama and Luo Man insisted: "Father's order was to be exiled for twelve years, and the number of years was not satisfactory, and we could not return to China." Filial piety for the Son, loyalty to the subject, and cannot disobey the orders of the Father and the King. ”

The twelve-year period expires. During these twelve years, Borodha sent people again and again, and Rama and Rama also saw that Brahma really sincerely wanted them to go back; and heard that Borodos respected the broken shoes as much as he respected himself, and was also touched by his deep brotherhood, so he decided to return home.

Upon their return, Borodod then wanted to cede the throne to Rama. Rama retorted, "Father has left the country to you, and I should no longer be king." But Borodok insisted, "My brother is a concubine and the eldest son, and it is up to you to inherit your father's inheritance." The two pushed back and forth, and finally Rama had no choice but to take the throne.

The story of their brothers' humility and me spread, and everyone was very touched, everyone took them as a model, and the country's atmosphere became more and more simple. The people exhorted themselves to be loyal and filial, and to forgive people, so although the three queens had done such a great thing in those years, everyone still had great respect for her, because everyone felt that they should be lenient and forgive the shortcomings of others.

Under rama's rule, the country is prosperous, grain is abundant, there is no disease or disaster, and the people live a very happy and happy life.
