Buddha+38 Special Concept of Buddhism
Those who fight all kinds of battles for the purpose of helping the good, helping the peace, like Bodhisattva Mahāsatha against the four teachers, and King Chollani Brahmadatta, who later became enlightened as a Buddha. Pali:
“Nes dhamma, mahasatha, yohama, senai, nyaka, senai, parihabetva, attanam, parimuchaye.”
So.Khu. Jeataka. Ph. 62 นNamobuddhasḥ
Some young people asked me why the elders had originally blessed me: May I be as smart as Amāra, with wisdom like Mahāsatha? If I were to explain it until I told the whole story, if I told the whole story at once, it would be too long, so I will break it down into parts, briefly. If anyone wants to understand, they can buy a book to read more on their own.
The Story of Mahosa (Part 1):
“Why was it named Mahosa?”
It is said that in a kingdom called Mithila, ruled by a king named Viteharacha, there were four teachers who were the teachers of the kingdom: 1-Senaka, 2-Kaman, 3-Devin, 4-Bako. One night, near dawn, the king dreamed that flames were burning in all four directions of the palace. Suddenly, a fire appeared in the center of the palace, brighter than the flames in all four directions. When the king woke up, he called the four teachers to interpret the dream. The teachers said that a royal child who was wiser than the four teachers had been born.
In that kingdom, there was a wealthy man named Srivaddha and his wife, Somna Devi. At that time, Somna Devi also became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When he was born, the child held a magic potion in his hand, which later cured many patients of all diseases, so his parents decided to name him Mahosath from that time on. When he was 7 years old, Mahosath asked his 1,010 friends to each give 1 taka of money to build 5 schools: 1- for merchants, 2- for Brahmin monks, 3- for the poor and pregnant women, 4- for meetings to recite verses, 5- for entertainment and games.
