Cette histoire est vraiment intéressante. Vous allez aimer parce que c'est une histoire d'un moine novice qui utilise ses pouvoirs pour battre un Roi Cobra très puissant. Sumana, le moine novice était très chanceux pour obtenir ses pouvoirs psychiques dans son enfance. Même avec ses grands pouvoirs, Sumana le moine novice respectait les moines plus aînés que lui. C'est pour ces raisons que même les divinités lui vénéraient. Si un moine jeune est ce puissant, est-ce que vous pouvez imaginer le pouvoir de notre grand enseignant, Le Bouddha Suprême? J'espère que vous allez lire ce livre plusieurs fois et allez prendre le refuge dans Les Trois Joyaux du fond de votre coeur. Que Les Trois Joyaux vous bénissent!

Before this publication, I wrote a comprehensive commentary on the Maha Satipatthana Sutta (The Great Discourse on the Establishments of Mindfulness) based on excerpts from various suttas. The book was published under the title The Supreme Bliss of Nibbana, and gained recognition from pious Buddhist Devotees. Though devotees have for quite some time been requesting that I furnish a book that is suited for chanting the Maha Satipatthana Sutta in both Pali and Sinhala languages, so far it was delayed as I was busy. This publication is in response to the request made by those devotees. If a person melodiously chants this Pali-Sinhala Maha Satipatthana Discourse in a peaceful place in his home, in a stupa compound or under the shade of a Bodhi-tree, or any other suitable location, by doing so they can accrue both the great merit of chanting the Dhamma of the Tatagatha and the great merit of contemplating on the Dhamma. To make the chanting easier for you, places you are supposed to pause are marked with the / sign. By chanting this Maha Satipatthana Sutta, you have the fortune of getting a clear interpretation of the Four Noble Truths from the words of the Buddha himself. Therefore I bless you to accrue exquisite merit by melodiously chanting this Maha Satipatthana Sutta with a pleasant mind, contemplating on its meaning. By the influence of the merits thus gained, may you realise the Four Noble Truths in this Gauthama Buddha's Dispensation! (This book is a translation of Buddhist scriptures found in the Sutta Pitaka, preserved in the Theravada Buddhist tradition.)

You all are very fortunate. You were able to be this fortunate because of our great teacher, the Supreme Buddha. A prince named Chatta Manavaka was going for his studies. On his way, he was fortunate enough to see the Supreme Buddha. As a result, he took refuge in the Noble Triple Gem. This is a very beautiful story. But it is also very sorrowful since the prince in this story dies. However, there's an element of happiness there too since upon his death he is reborn as a divine prince in heaven.
