When the sky is overcast, there is a mother bird, a father bird, and four baby birds. They will fly home because they know that it will rain. He hurried home because he knew it was not safe. During the flight There was a whirlwind blowing, causing both the father bird, the mother bird, and the young birds to drift away in different directions. The child couldn't fly home because he didn't know the way. You have to let your parents take it. Mom wants to fly home.

I couldn't go because I was worried about my child. I have to fly to see my child. As for Dad, he wanted to fly home. I can't fly because I have to worry. Flying to find a wife and children It shows that the mother is biased. The mother takes only the child, while the father takes care of both the mother and the child. Father loves you more than anyone, right? Now the four cubs are flying in different directions. No one saw each other when the sky became calm.

Each child was thrown in different directions. Each person lived in different environments. Each life that they had lived together was like a new beginning. In the beginning, both parents lived in different places. I don't know where I am. not together But later they became romantically involved. Let's be husband and wife.

and build a nest together Then 4 little ones came out and they prepared to live together. Help each other make a living. Before having children, the mother prepares to incubate the eggs. The father kept preparing food for his wife. But the pregnant woman was annoyed. The pregnant bird was also annoyed. Dad has to please. Find some fragrant flower pollen for your wife to please.

The wife smiles sweetly and takes care of the child. And they took turns going out to find food for the other to watch over their children. Everyone is united with each other. Until the child can practice flying The flight went out until it was grown.

Now one day has come. Had to be separated from each other like starting over The father is in one place, alone. The mother is in another place, alone. The child is alone. Born alone, wandering around, now 4 birds swear to each other that We will die together as human beings. But Mom and Dad didn't make an oath.

The father went looking for the mother and child. The mother went around looking for her child, but after looking, she was discouraged. She was very discouraged, so she found a new husband. I came across a male bird. Come on, don't go looking for a baby or any kind of breast. Find a new husband and a new child. As for the father, he is not looking for a new wife. Looking for only children but not wives Fly from the time the wings are still soft, until the wings are hard, until the feathers on the skin are once colorful. with shiny fur

It's getting harder every day. Flying like that, wandering around, looking intently. Traveling to find a wife and child As for the four children, there is only one way. That is, you have to survive. because it is still very small His wings weren't strong enough to fly far, and there were many beasts. There are many unknown enemies.

Everyone must try to survive. But there is merit that he has done. Because he rarely did any religious acts. I still have merit. Wherever you go you can escape danger. These four little birds There is a ring cuff on the leg as a symbol. that Father Nok will recognize immediately if he meets his child One cub flew into the cave where the Phaya Phet Nok lived.

Another one flew into a place that was a hollow tree. that has Phaya Indriya The other flew into a forest with dense foliage. I went to meet him. Another one fell on the ground where Phaya Tao was. All four of them lived with these animals, and no one harmed them. Because he never hurt anyone. So he was able to live with animals of different species. The animals were kind and helpful and looked after him.

So I stayed with them. Because there is no way to fly to see anyone.

But the father never gave up. Flights are always available. Day and night Go to bed and sleep for a moment. The flight goes left, right, front and back. My mouth cries out, where is my wife? Where is our child? Doing it like this Do it diligently like this day after day. He never cared about his body, he didn't care about food, he didn't care about sleep.

Only interested in where our children are. Where is our wife? How will he be happy or sad? How will he live? But I know that all 5 will definitely not die. Anyway, I won't die. He believed that he would still meet until one day he went to meet his wife. He's glad to have met you. But he restrained himself from going any closer.

Because he knows his wife is happy. So he was relieved that We're not worried anymore. Let's go find our child. We still don't know what our child is like. He then flew off to look for his next child. Year after year it flies by.

Now, suddenly there was a strong wind coming from an unknown direction. Blows him flying and falls. It appeared that he had met his first child who lived with the turtle. He remembered. The child also recognized that it was his father. He was happy and then asked how he was doing. Did he see his mother? The father remained silent and didn't say anything, afraid that the child would be upset. I dared to say that I found my mother had a new husband. The child will be sad and won't say anything.

Said I haven't found it yet. But I believe his mother will be happy. We're in a safe place. Let's go find the little ones, and let's go together. Each of them flew away and went looking for things. The son did not have the same determination as the father. It flew like that. Patience is less. The father must always support his child's thoughts: "Father, I'm tired. I'm hungry. Please eat first. Please stop. I'm tired." Please take a break.” This happens all the time. The father knows

Their children have little strength. The determination and determination are still not like theirs. But he still believed that Our children still want to meet their brothers and sisters. But in his patience there is still little. I could only say words of encouragement, "Son, this is all we have." Other people are not our brothers and sisters. What will they welcome with us?

If we can't follow him, it's considered impossible. But since we are not dead, we still have 2 wings to fly. One day we will have to find him like a father found his son. The father tried to push him. Do you know why he took the child with him? What he said and what he thought. It's not the same. What did they say? He spoke with the child's encouragement. But what did he think?

That is, he wants to teach his children to have perseverance. and determined to be patient Whatever you do, be stable. It's not just a desire to see your child. But in taking action It didn't work like I wanted it to. This is father's intention. It is not my intention that you want our children to meet each other like what I have said to you. Dad intended it that way.

I tried to encourage him to be patient and tolerant. The child became flabby, flabby, and his encouragement was not as good as his father's. He went around fighting, which is to say, he didn't want to go. That is, he doesn't want to go. It's far away. He has no direction. It's difficult. My heart misses Uncle Tao. I'm worried about Uncle Tao. "Father, how will Uncle Tao live?" You have supported me.” The father thought that our child would only have this encouragement. Let's not force ourselves. So I told my son, "If you have a son, I'll send you off." The father flew to send him off.

Fly back again for another month. When daddy finds the little ones, he'll bring them to me.

Then Father kept flying, and then there was a sudden gust of wind that blew again. He rushed down. I found a big tree and then found another one. Residence with Phaya Nok The child remembers his father. The father invited him like he had invited his eldest son, "Go, let's go find you. I know where my brother is." Father has found his brother.” He went and followed his father to find his brother.

But I'm only halfway there, I'd say. “No more, Dad. I'm tired. I don't have anything to eat. It's so comfortable to live here. Uncles and aunts provide food so comfortably. And I have a lot of friends too. When I go to see you, there is only you.” Well, Dad sent me back and flew back again.

None of the four cubs were happy. no joy He doesn't have the same determination as his father. The father found the truth. He flew out of the area. flying without direction Determined that we will carry ourselves with us, the strength of our wings, this truth is the truth. We have found that We can't take our encouragement.

Let other people be like us. He is him. We are us. We are ourselves. He is himself. To put love in He was unable to give encouragement. Just like we have encouragement, nothing will cause other hearts to do the same as ours. Apart from himself having his own desires. While he was flying there

He held the truth and said, In the truth of me who has steadfast perseverance: With our steadfast perseverance May we meet the place we are familiar with. May our wings be strong. Fly from now on without getting tired, he flies, he flies without rest. And then didn't do anything.

Until 10 years had passed, he still flew non-stop until he reached a certain place. which is a deserted island There were no humans around, so he flew away, his heart thinking that he wanted to go there. Then he rushed away. There were no animals there. But there are many Rukhadavas. As soon as I got there He pondered it in his heart. Think back to what has happened to you since the beginning.

He was the only one. And he flew alone. Separated from loved ones and alone. from his partner bird The bird pondered in his heart. I didn't say anything. Just use your mind to meditate. But the Rukkha Deva is divine. I know what the bird is thinking. He thought it into consideration from the beginning. In the middle and at the end

In the end, there is only us. All the things that have been done Including us alone Understanding or encouragement that we have perseverance and courage It is for us alone. Patience is given to us alone, not to anyone. So they said that it was the correct truth. He said it loudly.

It came out that this is the truth, the truth that has been revealed to us. Amen to the Rukkhadevāda. Amen to the Dhamma.

Immediately after saying amen, the bird was relieved and turned around to see who it was. I saw the forest angel.

So the bird asked in his heart, “Venerable sir, what amen? What are you happy about?”

The elder monks there said, "We are grateful that you have seen the truth."

So the bird asked: “And you have never seen the truth like this?”

Rukkhadevada replied: “We have never seen this reality before. We have never seen anyone dare to say this out loud like this.”

So the bird asked: “And which truth are you satisfied with?”

Then the forest god replied: “We are pleased with your perseverance.”

Another one said “We are pleased with your love.”

Another one said “We are pleased with your patience.”

Another one said “We are satisfied with your wish.”

So the bird said “Why do you have different preferences?”

Rukkhatheva said “We see the value of love.”

Another said, “We greatly value perseverance.”

Another one said “We see the value in patience.”

So the bird said back, “Venerable sir, this cannot happen only because of the description of goodness. It must come from doing it with true heart in order to receive a feeling of satisfaction like we do.”

Then the forest god raised his hand to say amen. The bird thought that how long we could stay in the body of a bird, it doesn't matter. But for now, we are satisfied. He is immersed in the meditation that arises from the Dhamma that occurs to us. It is called being in the seven Bojjjhanas. Birds, don't look down on birds. This bird has the Bojjhaṅga. Do you know anything?

Bojjhaṅga is the 7 elements of enlightenment. These are mindfulness. Remembrance of Dhamma Vijya Contemplation on Dharmaviriya perseverance joy Satisfaction, peace, concentration, determination and equanimity, equanimity.

The bird was in the seven Bodhi factors of meditation, up to equanimity. Located in the 4 jhānas, stable, what makes one feel satisfied. His mind was focused only on the truth that he had encountered. The second is to meditate on the Dhamma. Then there was happiness and joy, and the heart was full. When the feeling of joy and satisfaction arises Passaddhi arises. As soon as it calms down, it becomes samadhi. Immediately entering meditation

Then there is the possibility of letting go of everything, becoming still, separating the body and the mind. Immediately one enters into Dhamma equanimity. He immediately entered the four subtle jhanas, and his mind has not withdrawn since. It is said that the body is the mind. are completely separated from each other When I came to relax and meditate again. It's already at the Brahma.
