“Don’t say that BiaSơdrăngMatAnar”, said Giông, “No one here can’t refuse your food. They look delicous and we are all hungry.”
Then Giông invited all others to enjoy the food. Giông turned to BiaSơdrăngMatAnar and said: “BiaSơdrăngMatAnar! Come here and join with us. Let’s have something to remember the first time we meet.”

BiaSơdrăngMatAnar heard the things. Her face went red she felt embarrassed.
Almost people stopped eating they started drinking and smoking while BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong was still eating. Giông started took a conversation with BiaSơdrăngMatAnar he asked her everything.
“Please don’t be ashamed and don’t be angry. I ask to know your name. I see to be familiar with your face. We will continue our fight for long time and hope we will meet you again”, said Giông.

“You’re beautiful, as like sunlight shiny, as like forest flowers radiant and full of vitality,” said Giông. “Can you stand up and walk?”, added Giông.
 BiaSơdrăngMatAnar stood up. She gently walked few steps away then turned back.
Giông asked her to smile, she smiled. Giông asked her to talk, she talked. Giông observed her for a while then he said:
“You’re beautiful that nothing on your body’s ugly. White teeth, sweety smile, straight legs, slim waist. Your hair’s straight and smooth. If you agree, I want you to marry with my brother GiỡHreng.”

“BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong you get ill. Why all your hairs fall out? You look different not like BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong august and strong before”, said Giông.
BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong didn’t reply Giông he’s angry but silently he sat on ground tears dropped from his eyes. That day was the day BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong felt saddest and painedest.
BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong knew that he couldn’t win Giông and his fellows.
“I can’t keep fighting with Giông, GiỡHreng and the others I will lose my life in a day. the longans had lost, I also will die and I will lose everything. I have to escape going to Ghost village though it’s away from here but it’s secret place and it’s where my brother AtauYangBul lived”, thought BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong.

118. Đền Cờn

Đến đời Trần Nhân Tông, đạo Phật ở nước ta đã bước vào giai đoạn cực thịnh. Chùa chiền mọc lên khắp nơi, từ Kinh đô đến thôn xóm, từ đồng bằng đến trung du và các miền ven biển. Ngay bản thân nhà vua, sau hai lần lãnh đạo kháng chiến chống giặc Nguyên thắng lợi, vào các năm 1285 và 1292, cũng nhường ngôi lại cho con, rồi xuống tóc đi tu, trở thành vị Tổ thứ nhất của phái Tu thiền Trúc lâm với pháp danh Điều Ngự. Số người tu hành của thời đó rất đông. Nhiều người xuất gia từ bé, nhưng nhiều người đã từng lập gia đình rồi do trắc trở nhân duyên, nên mới tìm đến cửa Phật. Trong trường hợp ngược lại, nhiều vị tu hành nhưng do những hoàn cảnh đặt biệt nào đó đưa đẩy, đã hoàn tục trở lại, thì điều ấy, xét ra cũng là lẽ thường tình mà nhà sư trụ trì ở ngôi chùa cửa Cờn là một ví dụ. Thuở ấy ở xã Hương Cần thuôïc Quỳnh Lưu (Nghệ An) bây giờ, có một ngôi chùa dựng trên một hòn đảo nhỏ ở cửa Cờn. Tiếng là chùa nhưng kiến trúc còn đơn sơ, chỉ là ngôi nhà lá ba gian ở khuất hướng gió biển và...

Their fighting was very noisy. When their knives hit against the others or hit again shields it rumbled as thunders. The place between sky and ground where they fought was covered by dusts. They wrestled, punched and kicked other by their feet. They burked others by their huge hands. Daytime as like nighttime they fought without resting.

134. Sự tích đức Phổ Hiền Như Lai

Khi đức Phổ Hiền Bồ Tát chưa xuất gia học đạo, còn làm con thứ tư của vua Vô Tránh Niệm, tên là Năng Đà Nô. Nhờ phụ vương khuyên bảo, nên thái tử mới phát tâm cúng dường Phật Bảo Tạng và chúng sanh trong ba tháng. Lúc ấy có quan đại thần Bảo Hải thấy vậy, khuyên rằng: "Nay Điện Hạ có lòng làm đặng món công đức rất tốt như thế, xin hãy hồi hướng về đạo vô thượng bồ đề, mà cầu đặng thành Phật, hơn là cầu sự phước báu hữu lậu nơi cõi nhân thiên, vì cõi ấy còn ở trong vòng sinh tử." Năng Đà Nô Thái Tử nghe quan đại thần khuyên bảo như vậy, liền thưa với Phật Bảo Tạng rằng: "Bạch đức Thế Tôn! Nay tôi có món công đức cúng dường ngài và đại chúng trong ba tháng, xin hồi hướng về đạo vô thượng chánh giác, nguyện phát tâm bồ đề, tu hạnh bồ tát mà giáo hóa mọi loài chúng sanh, đặng thành Phật đạo, và nguyện đặng cõi Phật rất thanh tịnh trang nghiêm, bao nhiêu những sự tốt đẹp và sự giáo hóa chúng sanh đều y như thế giới của đức Phổ Hiền Như Lai vậy."

237. Đường đến trái tim

Trong thần thoại Hy Lạp có vị thần ái tình Eros, bắn mũi tên bay khắp bầu trời. Ai trúng phải mũi tên vàng của thần sẽ nảy sinh tình yêu đẹp.Đó là câu chuyện phản ánh niềm ước ao đối với hạnh phúc và tình yêu lãng mạn của con người.

Không thể cứ sống bằng mơ tưởng : Hoàng tử cưỡi ngựa trắng từ trên trời bay xuống với bó hoa hồng tươi thắm... Cô gái Lọ Lem bị ma lực tình yêu chinh phục, ngã hẳn vào lòng ta... Tuy nhiên, mộng ảo vẫn chỉ là mộng ảo. Nếu mình cứ ''ôm cây đợi thỏ'' nằm mộng giữa ban ngày thì thực tại luôn làm cho con người thất vọng, nhất là khi thấy những người cùng trạc tuổi mình đã nên đôi nên lứa cả, lòng khó tránh khỏi lời tự than thân : Ôi! Số phận, sao mà nghiệt ngã? Chỉ riêng tôi là không sao gặp được người tình trong mộng ? Lại không ư ?Thì ối cả đấy ? Phim ảnh, tiểu thuyế...
