My first exposure to Buddhism, Eastern America
taught me first born, studied Buddhism is the supreme enjoyment of life.
Reached the
level at birth itself, that is the true enjoyment wins, to the fullest.
So try to
ask, we can do this or not? Answers are to be confirmed. The problem here, is that we
have wanted or unwanted. If you have desire, then, the old virtues like
saying: "Thousands of thousands of people who practice it." This speech is very simple, very
easy, but still has its conditions.
We've read through of Amitayurdhyana. Lady Vaidehi encountered
by national events, modern words as "main variable". She toward Shakyamuni Buddha
prayer. The
relationship between her and the Buddha is clear. She has taught mind Bhagavan
bridge director, new Buddha incarnate before her. From there she was transparent
to the Buddha that world star too much suffering. Therefore, she said, asked
Buddha what the world has happily or not? If so, she really wanted birth
on it. Then,
the Buddha used his powers to bring the world of ten schools of Buddhism
appeared before her selection. Finally, Ms. towards Buddha that said, in the
countries of the Buddhas, the Pure of Amitabha very good, so she chose this
world. She
asked how could Buddha reborn in that place. Buddha very happy for the
correctness of her choice, because in the world of the Buddhas of the ten
directions, without any wins world and match the Pure.
Reason wins we can reflect the world of all
Buddhas like current earth we live so, are under the old country. Already a quaint country
then of course, there exist very old issues difficult to resolve. Meanwhile, the Pure is a
newly established country, there are so many means. Buddha Amitabha established the
Western world, said in the scriptures say to this day only have ten lives alone.
Therefore,
compared to the world of Buddhas, it is still new. In a newly formed country does
not have the majority of residents are immigrants to reside, only the ancient
nations are permanent residents, with the leader only. Their habits is not easy to make
the amendment, has not been certain amendments will have many afflictions.
Saha world
like our own, because the ancient world so habitual afflictions of beings very
much. Buddha
taught admonish every word they did not listen, refusing to learn, so want of
them is the very difficult job to do.
Western world but the world is newly established,
but the conditions to be born in that place are very strict, and under the old
collective negativity gas is not easy, it was very good. So Lady Vi Recommended Hi Once
across, she confirmed what the world is no match. This in of Infinite Life has
praised "precious light in the light, is the king of the Buddha '' this is the
praise of Shakyamuni revenge win against the Buddha Amitabha and the Pure.
This is the
basis upon which we can put that to belief. Both the newly established
national level, there have been ten schools of Buddhism, if people genuinely
want to practice on that place certain students will
achieve.
Amitabha great vow, is creating ashrams Ecstasy to
assist practitioners. Thus, we have to do to be born in that place?
Buddha
taught her purse to Hi ie teach us, this we need clear awareness. First, the Buddha has not
taught her about cultivation methods, which he said only students who want to
practice in that place now three pure blessing, also known as the three
conditions. Buddha taught three conditions is also chief of the
industry's net three Buddhas. This statement an important and essential.
Three life
is only life past, present life and future life. Beings cultivate to become a
Buddha, dharma has boundless, but even if the study methods were not far from
the base.
Today, the Buddhist concept very much, but who was
reborn there are many. The cause stems from? Do we neglect negligence,
disregard, without attention to the foundation of this business three pure
blessing. Buddha's infinite grace, just transparency, we
ourselves are confused, do not trust, not in life. If we rely on this platform, the
medicine under the Buddha's method that initiates certain we will achieve the
birth into the Pure Land.
Three conditions include what? First there is the hospitality
and support their parents, serving teachers, compassion does not kill, repair
ten good karma. These things we have done or not? Many people think that these
things are difficult to do. We do not get, or do without to place to place, or do
not please to do. Why are we not happy to perform? Because once we make the
immediate damage and many losses. Current society is no longer like the old days
anymore. We
always treat people with speech and honest work, while people always deceive us.
Will we
still be able to keep his true stance that treat people or not? Or are deceiving me, I
also cheated them, and then we also imitate learned on the lies of people.
Just
implementing a so little benefit alone, but it can be also a major hindrance
makes us lose great benefit Ecstasy birth. Today, I am dedicated to make
dealing with the person who wholeheartedly to dupe me, that's no small thing.
One trick I
much just a financial amount. Apparently if my cheated away, but tomorrow I was
born there was a good thing, not a problem. Therefore can know, why we
recite the Buddha without photographic mind? It is the idea of us seek
birth is not strong. For the world, I still lingered, delusions,
discrimination and attachments without incurring lower reporter, reporters were
not reduced, it can not walk.
Speaking to tropical reborn now, as we bring old
now and not bring new business practices, ethics is certain we need to
understand. Therefore, the foundation of Buddhism is to start
from the body hospitality guru, general regulations fullness and body remain
hospitality guru. So, Dharma is filial piety, is directing guru, which
want to get the revered chief, everybody wants to be a teacher, all must be
constructed on the foundation of filial piety. A normal person to his parents
without filial respect, the chief can not be achieved. Thus, we try to consider this to
see two things, everyday we have accomplished or not? In other words, even the human
duty but not done well, how can we talk of the Buddha. You be born in any public
location in the world of Ultimate Bliss, the Western world has come and that is
you did Buddha. Song wants to Buddha, first human duty we have to
make good. If there is a little mistake to amend certain,
nothing to worry and fear, just take selfishness, narrow that down travel
reporter.
In fact, for moral causality, but we do not know
the truth and the truth of it, it was a huge mistake. Therefore, the early years of
China, An Quang master advised all who study Buddhism start from Willow products
from Huan, is very moral. Contents of the Four Qualities Willow Workshops are
deep believers suggest causality. Once you're convinced of a causal then, each a piece
of food, drinks you realize that not by coincidence that predestination and
there. Once
you have insight into karmic retribution, you most definitely not from fear, the
mind has no fear that is samadhi. My Network blessings and fortune, though'd throw it
away is not. You just kept taking it Daphnia, important is that
you dare bring him alms or not? How you can know tomorrow I will not have anything to
eat? If you
really know about tomorrow, then perhaps you are superman, not a normal person
now. So, the
students of Buddhism, we must believe deep causal, causal deep believe, will we
believe his teachings, new teachers serve the health, body and mind will be
liberated, a ceiling not the slightest infection. Pure mind, the Buddha of
purification.
TIN
(Faith)
Conditions to be born in the Pure is pure mind. However, Buddhism says there is immeasurable, unbounded methods, but ultimately still provided about three subjects. According Flower Adornment Sutra says, that's the signal, operator and controls. For Pure Land monk, once the most reach consciousness disorders also only three subjects, that is right, and pure sense. Today, we found refuge in the Three Jewels center, but Tam told the delegates for the district, sensory, continence. Buddha's delegate to sense, France is chief intellectual, financial programs, increase the delegate for purity. Ceiling slightest pure bases not responsible, that we have done or not? Currently doing very awkward home people, laymen who donated money for you very much. You without purification to storage or send the bank, many afflictions. If you like to bring those things that rinsed away before you can truly achieve purity of mind. If we want the country of the Buddha Bar, then we must truly filial respect their parents and that is of course chief.
Parents against children put full faith and hope,
as the ancients used to say: "I hope the son of the dragon, the phoenix yearning
daughter", as such, this statement mean? Delegates dragon and phoenix is
Buddha, bodhisattvas. You become a Buddha, Bodhisattvas your parents very
happy, your teacher is also very funny. So ten, three generations all
buddhas are desirable for all beings soon to become a Buddha. Buddha is a very good
teacher of ours, we need to have aspirations, determination, they deserve the
good pupil, who cootie hospitality. In three career blessed net from a low of ten good
karma, good karma this ten we have fully implemented, it said in a new economic
deserve death called good men, good women goodness. Normally, when we opened
business has seen good men read to the death, female friendly kindness.
Compassion
is its condition. If ten good karma that you do not do it, not known
as good men and women to death or mercy charity, saying this is the lowest
standard. From this standard a step further advancement is
life over Tam rules, complete them instructions, not violating majesty.
This
second blessing compared to the first merit higher floors, the first floor is of
the Human, God ministers, are two of five ministers of Buddhism. From Human, Natural
surplus again promoted to the rank of Thanh Van and Pratyekabuddha is excess, ie
second floor. Second blessing is blessed triangle represent Thanh
Van and Pratyekabuddha redundant. And from this second floor, it has to move another
step that is found Bodhi mind, deeply believe causal, recite Mahayana, extension
tons practitioner, this is the condition of the Bodhisattva. Causal insights of the
bodhisattva is not a normal kind of cause and effect as ordinary. For example, today, we
are talking about the subject of the causality are free at birth, the Buddhist
concept is human, the Buddha is the fruit, that we follow the causality of the
Bodhisattva.
Two-letter Buddhist concept we have clear
awareness. Buddhist concept is not mouth anniversary.
Ancients
said: "Amitabha Mouth scattered mind, though also thought to dry throat in
vain." Thus, we must note how? We tried through letters at
conception mean? Chinese writing very different from writing of the
countries worldwide. Chinese writing symbols for wisdom, you can see
through enlightenment. For example, the word concept (念), which is the word
Confer, on the literal needle (今), below is the heart (心), meaning that in mind
you always remember Buddha, Buddhist concept is called Buddha. Hence the saying: "A
concept that corresponds to a Buddha, reciting mantras corresponds to recite
Buddhist concept". Thus, the current in your mind, your mind has Buddha
is Buddha, but in your mind, you do not have Buddha Buddha is who? So say not use mouth is
thought that. In Buddhism, the mind corresponds, so where is the
ultimate Buddha? This we must understand clearly. Buddha is only for
self-interest leg, his own nature. We have the most current corresponds nature concept
here called for Buddha, recite without corresponds nature is not Buddha.
Though
called Amitabha everyday are not counted as Buddha, this is very confusing
morality. So, we bring the whole of Buddha inductive reasoning
of the following words: Sincerity is the essence, purity is the essence, the
essence of equality, enlightenment is the essence, the essence is
compassion.
Your mind must corresponds sincerity, purity,
equality and enlightenment, compassion, at that time called the Buddha mind,
so-called new Buddha. Buddhist concept cry nor Buddha Sakyamuni, call him
what effect? If reciting Buddha Sakyamuni on the Minister
corresponds or not? We can say that corresponds. Shakyamuni means benevolent,
Muni is pure and equal. You see corresponds not? We thought Sakyamuni, Gautama
is from our own mind that comes purity and equality, Muni is the heart that
comes from compassion, this is the idea. "A concept that corresponds to
a Buddhist concept", not the concept of a human being, thought someone was no
achievements. Thus, we must understand the true meaning of his
name is what? Self-interest we must corresponds title can play
mind is. Currently we recite Amitabha, this title versus
title Sakyamuni more fullness. Shakyamuni in reality there are only two main
meanings: one is sincere, compassionate; two are pure and equal.
Which
Amituofo self-fulfilling nature of faith, not lack anything, sweeping all, in
business often say that great consummation, this is the meaning of
it.
Meaning Amitabha Buddha, speaking Chinese
language means immeasurable sense, infinite wisdom, infinite enlightenment, it
covers all not lack a sense. For all other Buddhas title meaning there is no
limit, there is locally, but for the title Amitabha particularly emphasized.
Why should
the Buddha was born into this world to become a Buddha Saha? We have to confess
recite Buddha Sakyamuni or not? These are all diseases that the drug option.
We live in
world Saha largely lacking compassion center, only self-seeking, lack of pure
heart, a dark day early to think only think wrong contacts. So, the Buddha used the title
to sentient beings, that's the main principle of the work of modern-day
teaching. Then we must note how? Absolutely you can not recite
the Buddha became the Buddha in India 3,000 years ago. If you recite this Buddha,
you're quite wrong. He is the legal expression, the title itself is just
a list, you have to communicate the meaning of it, the new mind Buddhist concept
is true. Your heart was indeed sincere, compassionate, calm,
equality then one day you do not need to recite a sentence titles are, until you
want to reborn, Buddha Amitabha will come to guide you. Why is that? Because you really
practice true meaning of Buddha. Currently, people understand the principle nianfo
deep this little mystery. They only know the date anniversary date, but again
let loose mind freely, though conception until dry throat, out of breath and not
be born. You see there is miscarriage of justice or not?
This is
our moral need for transparency perception. Were aware already, so we need
to recite Amitabha Buddha or not? Still have to recite. Reciting without conception, no
thought that notion. Why on forms must often recite Amitabha?
Because we
want to help and support others. I recite Amitabha Buddha, other people hear, will
certainly ask: "Do you have something good nianfo what? This is a new opportunity that
you have reason to bring the benefits of Buddhist concept that showcases the
people. People listening to me, understand transparency, and
their determination to implement tried Buddha, this is to a degree you have
then. Therefore, we recite the Buddha of the sound mainly
work to benefit others, this truly is the mind, the new right with the true
meaning of the Buddha. Having put his righteous and enlightened solutions,
we are in the world, so to behave with social mass like? We must take the Buddhist
center that treats life, this is something to remember. I can understand teaching, the
ancients say make cryptic. Stock's play called Bodhicitta, this term we are
very confusing. Song, discovered Bodhicitta is what? I say that with
sincerity, purity, equality and enlightenment, compassion, everyone heard a
little understandable. Bodhicitta was found, but was eligible for salary to
be born or not? Most have specialized instruction concept.
We look at
three degrees of Infinite Life reborn, the most important is inductive in eight
words: play Bodhicitta, most specialized instruction concept. One is a vision, a
goal. So,
how can the notion most specialized instruction? We also induction of ten
digits: see through, zoom down, in order, depending on the coast, for Buddha.
See
through the true nature perception of the universe and humanity, all the reasons
you have to communicate causality clearly, so-called new see through.
After
clearly know the truth everything right, you need to zoom down, zoom down what
is this? These are self-interested ideology, what the
reporters go down is not me, is mine, is my self; Reporters go down greed, anger,
ignorance and arrogance. This paragraph in the Buddhist scriptures called
negativity is, investment or, negativity and ignorance sa ceiling or negativity.
These are
terms that require a lot of time explaining understand. Someone heard'm not understand,
because we do not have much time. So, I brought those terms are used modern language
speaks through. What is disturbing is private? Is attached. Laid bare something
called negativity? Is distinguished. Something called ignorance
negativity? It is delusion. Speaking in this way perhaps
people can understand. Thus, the reporter down a reporter down all
thoughts, discrimination and attachment. Buddha taught us not to say
that journalists lowered down travel reporter jobs, which are many
misperceptions. If results like Shakyamuni Buddha taught us the
lower reporters traveling is what galaxy every 49 years throughout the hardships
he had nationwide sweep against India to lecture teaching experience?
My day
itself must also come the day where to preach, why not release me to go down?
Thus,
reporters down here is discarded that idea, discrimination and attachment.
This is
the moral we need to understand.
At work, we have to try harder and do a more
fulfilling way. But as the mind is liberated peacefully.
Previously, working with many afflictions, but today
work very peaceful. Why is that? Because ago to do is to serve
autistic serve yourself. Following the defilement autism, lost the hearts and
minds; while for others work is not disturbing.
So, after
enlightenment, we let go of all, everyday life on earth do the means for living
beings, for society. Therefore, though do that very peacefully, work to
be fulfilled, the blessed beings. Conversely, you do not work hard, others are not
happy, you lose the people's hearts, lack of good fortune, so how without peace?
So,
whether present or future, where you are working or doing any work that, in
daily life, all you have to know that as grace without phan coast, so you will
be liberated. Absolutely no thought is that I do this, I do that,
so you will have afflictions. Buddhas, Bodhisattvas busier we are many.
You think,
we often recite Guanyin Bodhisattva, He is for us very familiar. His characteristics are
thousands of thousands of parish land bridge sensors. There are many players in the
legal world nowhere His help. He gurgles busy, we are not busy with him.
What
should sentient body to the relatives that he immediately appeared, who need
assistance depending upon how he also follow that help. Until now, he never makes a
disappointed, yet when he was liberated, verily He has completely let go and
release the lower, no longer caught up in any event whatsoever. Thus, in the Diamond
Sutra has taught us two sentences: "Lia all generals, initiates all good
things." Minister shuns all the reporters were down, letting
go. Secession all generals do? As leaves fall minister,
minister's, PM beings and Minister fake life. General falls are attached,
minister's, beings are distinguished generals, generals assume life is illusion.
Noun but
not the same, but just one. Reporters then lowered himself in, then all good
practice, for the benefit of all beings. In everything there is benefit
to living beings, for the public and it has liberated society. On the contrary, In
everything that has benefits for autism are the evil itself, this is a certain
morality you need to understand.
Why do ordinary things for their own benefit are
called the wicked? Because its main benefit is the intellectual growth
evil demons. Buddha teaches you zoom down go the I, the I is not
letting you, all your actions reflect what we are in it. Following the rebirth and we
then can not escape from samsara. When you can escape samsara? When we are no longer the ones
you out of samsara.
Recently, I learned a nun her in Singapore, we
have brought them here to take pictures. She was born in 1900 but to
date is 2000. In Kim Cang said of the four generals, like that time I did not
see her looking through a minister does, indeed, she has no ego minister,
minister's, no minister beings and Minister fake life. 101 year old grandmother this
year, but I always thought she did not look over age 50 years or only 40 a few
years old. Tooth loss only have one. At the press view, she does not
need glasses, ear has normal hearing, react very flexibly. A person in their 40s can not
normally match, she also performed acrobatic show us more. Thus, she thanks to what that
was like? Was launched down and letting go. She said her whole life
is dedicated to make to look after and care for the elderly in nursing homes
dozen. As
the Buddha said Bell had three categories: finance pilot, experimental and
fearless approach alms, all women are fulfilled, the money of her furniture is
indeed bright and super Vietnam three worlds. She considered the scriptures
and listen to my tapes roughly only two this year alone. This incident with Lee Lam
Nguyen lay intimately together, lay Ly Lam Nguyen has tell me. Actually there is such
a person or not? I went to see and witness, is not wrong.
We
preached all spiritual practices she have done before. I preached three translational
blessed her now well rounded. She was a Catholic nun but a lifetime of practice,
this proves her good roots deep predecessor thick. She was a great athlete.
Question
to the condition, she said one day she ate only one meal but the full spirit.
Every day
still work normally, she help those suffering and patient. Currently, Singapore is indeed
such a spiritual person, if you can not trust to that view. So we have to try to let go and
release down all because beings that serves, certain to be many
liberated.
PRAYER
(desire)
We need to study the example of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were passive, not proactive. You do not go your needs him, they did not come looking for you. You need them, they will definitely come to your help. Buddhas, Bodhisattvas were passive, not proactive, but they have passive liberated. Actively are you to speculate, calculate what to do, where to go? ... So you were phan grace, not as grace. You have phan conditions are hard working and heart center, so will have afflictions. You charming custom is no negativity, nothing to worry about. I have lifelong medical follow teachings of masters program Gia, all depending on the coast, so far no phan coast, themselves not seek affliction. Lifelong no ashrams, no disciple. You see many people taking refuge with me, after taking refuge and then, I never asked him what her name, home where ... such as defilement? The Three Refuges of you for me where there is any relation? I demonstrate and transfer the Three Refuges for you as well. You refuge is refuge with sensory, chief refuge, refuge net. If you believe that your refuge is magician Chin was wrong. However, you should remember these two words, pure intentions, no shred of what was true then you seek refuge with Chin. If that refuge is refuge for such people is wrong. This issue is very important, so that the real purpose of the refuge is not provided to someone. I myself learned lifelong learning Tinh No, there is such a new matching name myself that.
Buddhist concept was thought what is this?
Currencies
always have to remember to eighteen letters, reciting mantras corresponds to
sincerity, purity, equality, enlightenment and compassion; concept concept corresponds to
crowd out, zoom down, in order, depending on the coast, so the vows add the Pure
Birth bridge. Such decisions are reborn, but reborn in another
order, which everyone can do. But the problem arises that you have dared to launch
down, letting go or not? People often donate money to me, now I remembered it
alone, like no other I would go find disturbing. The old lady 101 years old nun,
she found refuge in mind, I demonstrate the Three Refuges Five Precepts
transmitted to her. She offers to let go of everything, while I still
have savings in bank books, teaching contrary to his words. So far, I bring all assets
related to money allocated to banks do lay Forestry education funds, welfare
funds, I do not do things that he replaced me. You think I have more
leisurely, everything they offered for me at this party, it is stored in Xu Tong
Academic Society for the fellow doing missionary work benefits students, part of
the money I would not bring along. People want to send money to me also, or you may
send your account to lay Lam, or sent to Xu Tong Education Conference in
Singapore, not necessarily to get my hands, so very troublesome. I also want selves are
pure, natural, and I'll pray for themselves at birth. Like the lady nun mentioned
above, students are free at the same time she wanted to go when they could go at
the time, she wanted to stay at the earth as long as it does not matter.
Born in
the birth of self-liberation, she can do it, it can prove that the people are
doing. I
looked over her body condition corresponds completely with the words of the
Emperor of Internal Medicine, Ling Xu Beijing that ancient medicine of China has
said. Normal life span of a living person is 200 years
old. Why
do not you live to 200 years old? Because you do not know how normal maintenance,
which only makes the body weaker. What makes the body healthier body? Natural University, the
robust body. So, people who need to restore the natural great
body then naturally longevity. By contrast, natural ecological destruction, the
human life span will be reduced. Today, we are referring to the natural ecology of
the body. So, what destructive nature of human ecology?
It is the
hope, as distinguished and attachments. Ancients often called the lost
love and sensual pleasures, that's what goes circumstances sabotaged our
natural. Natural circumstances, the ones hurt most severely
destroyed in each of us was the character, which by the Buddha that is greed,
hatred and delusion. Of these, the most hazardous golf. The grandmother nun
told us, every time anger arises only in a minute, it takes about three days to
restore the normal, it is a truth not frivolous. Thus, the initial meeting I
asked her, she has never experienced hatred not? She said that life never had.
Treat
others disagree with her, she just cultivate themselves to blame not to,
intellectual incomplete and do not hard, since she did not dare to embrace their
anger for any one person. This, the Sixth Patriarch Platform Sutra also says:
"If people really practice, not seeing the error of the world". These teachings have
done her. She was a Christian, in fact she really super
Vietnamese. In recent years, she realized the teachings of the
scriptures of the religions, all teachings are very valuable to her practice.
I asked
her: "Have you ever seen her hungry ghost realm or not?". She responded very well, I seen
all of the world religions are a light halo. This shows that she really
super Vietnam, saw enter the realm of equality. Her current Buddhist view,
listen to my tapes, very happy. I asked her she was eligible to make disciples of
Buddha or not? I said she was worthy. Mrs. Three Refuges, the
precepts, I just delivering messages Tam provided evidence for her deed without
explanation. She done completely, she is considered to be genuine
disciples of the Three Jewels. In the future, you have a chance to go to Singapore,
you can see her eyes and witness the daily life of the people there.
If we want
the body to be robust longevity, future generations are free at birth, she is a
very good example for us to follow and learn.
For everything implications, diabolical,
afflictions, you need to let go, because our nature is corrupt pseudo capital.
In
Buddhist teaching very well: "All things are formless falsehoods" or "all
compounded things, and illusory mirage", these are the conditions that make you
contemplate letting go. After letting go, you will not be infected before,
immediately it was liberated. Currently, you want to get more aid element.
101 year
old nun that she had never been sick, which we can trust. Now I also have over 70, also
never pathogenesis. Illness born from? From delusions that out.
Therefore,
the Buddha preached greed, hatred and delusion are the three poisons, poisons of
illness. In the center you have greed, hatred and delusion,
plus outside with five desires, continental situation, how could not avoid the
disease! Purity of mind is an important condition for a
healthier body. Compassion can rescue poison. Any type of poison does
compassion can resolve. You often nurture and cultivate compassion and
purity of the hundreds of illnesses are not incurred.
Life network and wealth are two things in this
world everyone is expecting. Wealth here is not saying you have to have more
money, but what about wealth? Material life and your life does not lack, without
excess that is wealthy. Wealth on something? Here too not to mention you
have to do relating to large organizations, new high status called you, but the
main wealth that whatever you do, if people see that everyone mind you were
happy, new feature called your reverence. We need to understand the true
meaning of this, it should be found that makes the true
heart.
Two years ago, I am very grateful to lay Cao Quy
Minh. After the Korean Administration Zhang birth, in the
past, all of the teachings in our ashrams were made by him. I have never ever experienced
this. After he left, we have ashrams in Taiwan, where the
United States also has a ashrams, in Australia also ashrams, I do not know what
to do, given the manager should have. So, every year I distribute the time, in the US
three months, Taiwan three months, three months Australia, Singapore three
months, this is only intended new. Layman Noble library Ming recovered, after leaving
the library I thank him. He told me to stay in Singapore but diligent
preaching, no need for additional land. So, I did not return two
Taiwanese and American countries as before, then at the heart of this place I
could start teaching experience United. Flower Adornment Sutra is
preached wishes after death of Zhang Han Administration, and it is also a way to
foster talents preaching.
We not only preach but also Flower Adornment
Sutra practice, simply say that the practice is not without significance.
So, we
need to bring the Flower Adornment that done. Flower Sutra say? Use language that said
today is world peace. World of Flower Adornment than our world immensely
bigger, not only within the earth that covers the legal world to take nowhere.
All ten
national boundless Buddhas level irrespective of a national level or other
level, regardless of race, religious beliefs, in which people can live in
harmony, equal treatment together. That is what we need to
practice.
Thus, we must start implementing from?
First is
from religion. Therefore, I have made the union of nine religions
in Singapore. Currently here, nine religions are all in a very
harmonious, true mutual respect, solidarity, cooperation support. Singapore society and
government are truly excited about this. We have brought this
photograph, later you can see through.
In the lunar year, everywhere I go food festival
from time. This should go or not? I came here to do? I came to Australia for
earthworks, can not say that there is no employment. I went unite disagreement race
in Australia, this job I also based on the Flower Adornment Sutra taught.
You recite
the Avatamsaka must understand clearly. Slogans calling for peace
around the world thousands of years have passed, but peace still not implemented
a comprehensive, causes originate from? Do not seek to be the
foundation of peace, there is no theoretical basis, for peace should not be
done. Slogans are ineffective. Therefore, all beings take
legal nothingness from whence out? Is derived from self-interest we turn out.
So,
preaching is the essence of Buddhism, preaching is Tathagata. Tathagata is also
nature, as in the Diamond Sutra have when it comes to the Tathagata, sometimes
it comes to the Buddhas. Tathagata is a perspective lecturer on nature, while
the Buddhas are talking on angles minister and minister as a character, not two.
So, first
need to find out the rationale, this was true reasoning, not a delusion,
solidified the eternal unchanged, the truth of the world. The word truth, according to
Buddhist minister called truth, is nature. Christianity, Christianity,
Judaism, often mentions God. Y Tu Lan teacher said to Allah, the names were
different, but there is only one and not two. So, when in contact with other
religions, explained to them, they say why did you study Buddhism? Can you Lord our God is
not? We
bow to God than you are much more respectful. You see the first day Buddhist
festival, we often worship heaven, heavenly worship a god that is worshiped, we
bow than you earnestly and sincerely than many. Why? Because your god, your god, you
say A Na is in the Buddhist teaching is Tathagata, is the incarnation of the
Tathagata is not anybody else. I say that you reflect back, you are followers of
Christianity. Everything in this world was created by God, Buddha,
Bodhisattvas as well as the incarnation of god. Only through no grievances and
inequality, we want peace, they must establish on that basis. Therefore, I say Buddha
is the number one, and number one Christian, Christianity is also the First, Y
Lan Catholic America is number one, all are number one without number two.
Why is
that? Because the Flower Adornment Sutra preached to us,
which measures gender equality, not least two different vacuum, has the second
is born of grievances. Buddhist scriptures, the First, Old Testament, New
Testament, the First, economic as well as the First Joint Lan. Must often mutual
respect, mutual love can help, cooperation, become a member of a home.
Therefore,
we must cooperate religion, treat each other in harmony, so the world will be no
more war between religions, no ethnic conflict. In other words, people will no
disaster, even natural disasters can not. Disasters from where out?
From the
human disaster that out. Therefore, the Buddha said in the retribution
depends on the chief press that switch, in which the nature of the medical
report. Medical report relating intimately with the
initiation of the human centromere anniversary. Man's mind is not good, it will
not stop the scourge, disaster was such a deluge. So when I come into contact
with them, they are extremely happy to welcome me, respect me. Currently, in
Singapore, not only Buddhism, which gathered nine religious adviser sometimes I
do. I do
of nine religious adviser, I advise them not to focus on the work, but also
interested in education.
At present, why society is superstitious Buddhist
view? You
do not have the doctrine, the emphasis on religious sentiments shall not be able
to solve the problem? Therefore, a focus spot high intellect, a new fully
enlightened righteous solve every problem. In the scriptures of each
religion has its beauty. Therefore, I encourage everyone to have teaching
experience sermon, every religion should have teaching experience and sermon.
We must
work together, often exposed, often exchanging ideas, like the work of teaching
experience our sermon new no conflict, no malicious
criticism.
I came here on the 18th, the previous two days
was 16, I had attended a harvest festival of Muslims, as well as their festival
season. Muslims in Singapore have two denominations, a
Muslim sect that India, seconded rest of the Malay Muslims. Malaysian Islamic sect they eat
festival on the 12th, I also have to attend. In fact, for many years I had
to be good to them, so every food festival, the religion has invited me.
Each food
festival gods also invited me. On April 12, the Malay Muslim sect food festival,
they invited the president, I and the president are their special guests.
On March
16 the India Islamic sect food festival, their invited guests and more than a
dozen roughly table, I was their honored guest. The daughter of the president
is Na Dan also attended. Islamic sect elders and I said. He says the Buddha,
bodhisattvas of us really well, we have a lot of money, because we often help
them.
HAPPY
(Practice)
Currently, the followers of religions to lay Lam
eat rice, because of lay Lam eat free. Offering 24 hour a day, in addition to three
breakfast, lunch, afternoon with breakfast bread, buns, coffee and tea offerings
without interruption. Because next 24 hours nembutsu nembutsu way and for
years without interruption. So, when did you come to be entertained and are very
tasty. Every day, it has more than a thousand people to
eat. If on
Sunday or the day the conference is roughly three or four thousand people ate.
So he just
said we have a lot of money. Two months ago, a delegation of more than 50
Catholic nuns from 40 countries around the world to visit and tour. We have entertained and
ate lunch with them, we have brought the situation and report to them, they were
astonished. They ask you to spend money constantly, so you get
the money from? We told them, the money we spend is money Sakyamuni
delivered to us. Buddhism teaches generosity, the more is more, the
work that we do, all you can see. They reflect the incomes of religion they are
finite, half human, financial and material resources are offered by us.
So, for us
they are very happy, very respectfully, very praise. They say Buddha, bodhisattvas
our very good, I just said back to them as A Na of you are fine, but can not
match the reality commitment as Buddha, bodhisattvas us. Why he is not interested in
you? Because you do not care the teachings of which he
made, which carry out. I told them, lay ashrams of Forestry is a typical
example. Here, I must devote all its slopes, build ashrams
here to become a model ashrams worldwide. Therefore, each week we are
meeting criticism defects, quickly amended in order to have progress.
You build
ashrams didactic world, people around the world will come to school, they learn
more and more to the prosperity here, the money coming. Generally, our money not only
in Singapore but it comes from many places worldwide. They listened to me nodded.
Such a
moral copper, you have to hear the teachings of A Na, you must bring Islamic
ashrams efforts that do, turn it into an Islamic ashrams model of the world.
Since then
religious Muslims worldwide will be learning about this, about this pilgrimage,
so, you have nothing else lay Lam! I teach you a method that you have sincere effort to
do, perform to the level standing in the world, is a good example, so everyone
lined up. Conversely, you do not please the effort made, no
Buddha, bodhisattvas that joy with you! Meanwhile, the world has many
ashrams, like, Buddha, bodhisattvas have biased or not? Absolutely not. Important is that the
Buddha's teachings have often brought us to "maintain life recitation, because
the speaker". We need to understand the link word is performed,
uphold the mirror to see. Every day, there are two known ashrams teaching
experience, one year without interruption. Every day 24 hours Buddha, one
year without interruption, such time period. Also two hours teaching
experience, we opened 24 hours teaching experience tapes without interruption.
So, you
come here, want to hear of anything at any time, you can hear, want nianfo
always possible. You build ashrams appropriately with space and time
is given. The prosperity of Forestry and lay his wealth also
thanks the factors mentioned above. Therefore, three types of generosity we have to do
our best but decisions will be achieved. For offerings that said, lay
Lam not buy any vegetables, tea, oil etc .. Thus, everyday things offered to
people from where there? Because people know where offerings to others to eat
without taking money, so everyone tries to bring everything back here for us.
We use not
all, not all the user do? We carry offerings for nursing homes, orphanages of
other religions. We often make offerings to them, each a month were
for their food, and they married. So, maybe you know the source of prosperity and
growth capital of Lam from whence lay there. You can see the style of
economies in Southeast Asia. Each of these organizations, professions and
ashrams, the income is not much, so that laymen Lam income not only not
declining, but growing again.
Last year, my first food festival in Singapore.
I
immediately think of the orphans in the orphanage, the lonely house in the
nursing home. These people do not have anyone to care for, very
poor. We
invited them to a dinner to celebrate Tet, from time to 3800 people.
Not we
collectively invite each one elderly, orphans are officially received an
invitation, it was all for their spiritual consolation. They are in a nursing home, a
lifetime no one invited guest, so the invitation to give them timely.
Then they
keep them as souvenirs, they also feel that today's society has not forgotten
them. This
consoling spiritual than physical, it exceeded many times over. Last year 3800 people
from time, which, of nine religious people are also invited. Lunar last year I
employed. How food festival this year? We eat New Year, select the
calendar year we made money out capacity, we invite religious leaders employed
nine workers, have invited their guests combined. They are moving, they say his
heart is the vast indeed. This year's banquet attended more than 8,000 people,
we have invited the president and his wife as guests, visiting embassies of
countries stationed in Singapore, hoping for them to see the unity among the
races and religion in Singapore, at the same time ensuring that information is
news all over the world know. Before a day of entertainment, we conducted an event
of world demand for peace. Each day, an estimated 2000 people attended.
We began
to pray from 8 hours December 31 to 8 hours the first day of the festival.
20 hours
of uninterrupted prayer for world peace. The number of participants was
beyond my expectations. Had to 6,000 participants, it is extremely wins.
After
doing that, we tested back then noticed that the nine religious leaders have
attended, they were very happy. They say next year to do really. How is doing really?
They have
made money. This year they have made money, but all the costs
are so we come out. They say to each one of the religions are required
to account, if they really do like it too well. So Ly Lam Nguyen layman
confided to me. He told the religious leaders, they sincerely want
to spend money, make sure the money will not be enough. We will completely responsible
to give them peace of mind, do not worry about having to export to how much
money, but we would like the whole responsibility. Next year, expect to see more
than one thousand five thousand people attended, because all religions are
about. So
huge impact strength. It is a reminder of some fellow for me, truly, I do
not have to think about it. The proposals are very good. They say he is an event of
truly historic nature, far never had stories of religious communication in a
place like that. In fact, in order to lay the foundations for peace
in the world, we need to broker and to invite renowned US newspapers, as well as
popular channels. This is the point where previously we never think
of, just think about inviting embassies, this is what we need to modify the
time. Next
year, we intend to invite the mass dissemination of information such as
magazines, newspapers ... to reports. Invite them to Singapore to attend the meeting of
thousands of years of happiness. Because next year is the true new millennium happy.
How you
calculate? Up to a thousand new millennium is happy.
A thousand
years, not including the 999 already, still missing a year. So, 2000 is the year to the new
century, the 21st century Starting in 2001, we are prepared to do the work of
fullness, making good. Next year is the year the world really reconciled,
nine religions are found sincere work. I think this is a very difficult job accomplishment.
I worked
two years in Singapore, to unite all religions, work is due to my solidarity
goes twinning initiative with them. How to visit them? As I have said, that we extend
the dining room serve many people. Vegetable oil, salt ... often give them, together
with their friends to the fellowship. Had sex with their friends and then, based on that
platform we move one step further, as the initiative to visit them. They have orphanages,
homes for the elderly have, with some charity office, like Islam have
entertained facilities and help people. Each one religion, we give them
ten thousand pieces of silver. So, there are some who blame me. They speak for me as
Buddhists should offer money to me, why I was giving it to other religions.
I
explained to them, was also explained to the fellow, hope people do not
misunderstand. In the Buddha not you teach us that "boundless
beings vows degree" there? Followers of other religions is not their proceeds?
Already
beings have an equal degree, Buddha says no boundless beings vows degree level
is only for those who believe in the Buddha, which he tells us to give an equal
degree. Mind your volume should expand as new generation.
At the
same doctrine that, I said to Christian, Christian, is God's love that, not only
for believers of god. Humanity here, certainly not his followers that he
taught equality and compassion to people living in this world. Therefore, we must take
heart purity and equality of all beings broad, extensive offerings. Buddhist teaching
center cover damaged state, vermillion world output, which is the true nature,
the nature of it. So, Dharma is the law of equality, we must not only
work hard in the church, but even those do not fall under the category of
Buddhism, everyone expecting the world, we also need to do. They set up a nursing home, an
orphanage founded, we have to help them? We must help them build because
rarely anyone do this. I invested in ten thousand talents of silver, I have
a part, this is a meaningful job is not that bad. I spend money for their
construction is good. So, we worked that amount is too small, the center
does not have good fortune. There is an old saying: "Mind the blessings great
bulk". Therefore, attention must be given large amounts,
certain not limited. Tolerance, owned by religious people look into a
home. Gods
that they worship in my eyes are the Buddhas, is Tathagata. I'm in the middle of their
church, I worship no different from them. They are truly touching.
Conversely, if observed in a subtle way, the one who
had to incarnate Buddhas or not? All are idealistic Office and the only variable
informal basis. Thus, ten retribution legal world, Secretarial
dignified newspaper are manifested by the Buddhas. So, in the new Mahayana say,
the Buddhist bodhisattva contemporary look to address all of them born into
Buddhist Council, which is so ethically. So the blessings center large
large large fortune then newly reborn as grace and liberation.
Time has run out here today, I have a few
offerings to the fellow, so people can see the work we have done in the past
years and reflect back what they have done for others workers.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGHTHFOLD PATH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.2/5/2015.
