The Sri Shurangama.

 

 

In ancient India at the time when the Buddha was alive, the rainy season usually lasts sometimes up to several months. It was during this time, the monks gather enough to hear the Buddha preaches and of meditation. This period is called the three-month retreat. Later, Buddhist monks as well as each person goes every fall to worry propagate their religion and only come back here before the rainy season next year. One day, the chronic low season, is also on the coincidence of the date his father, the king Persian-heavy vegetarian dishes prepared many special and formally invited the king went to the Buddha and the monks to make offerings. In addition, the bourgeois class and enough shopping to invite informal vegetarian monks to make offerings. Buddha told Bodhisattva Manjushri he divided the monks into groups to go to every house of worship. In the meantime, Mr. Ananda because private appellants suffered before, should return in time to take on such goods rose worship them. He brought a bowl enters, posture perfectly dressed, slow gait, through each house to obscure reality. With equal attention, he wanted to complete blessing for all people, regardless of class, aristocratic or affordable. He just wanted to see people not doing good, so that today they have a chance Development Center offerings, so help them sow good for the day after they reap excellent results. So think like that, so he walked into the village, but unfortunately he meets a pagan woman named Ma-sign-old has used the mantra of Ta Pi Art Ca La First Brahma to arrest him at the acting lewd room. Mr. Ananda is in distress, very sad, only his hands and recite Buddhist Chi Ton towards Germany for help. Buddha sensor is, when a meal has finished no time to preach, he immediately returned to sit cross-legged Vihara, corona discharge with lotus thousand wings and start talking Surangama mantra. Then the Buddha asked him to bring Manjushri mantra went to her place Ma-sign-old to break exorcism uncle Ananda rescue. After the escape, he Ananda Buddha to place glass bow Lord, sadness, crying and transparency with Buddhist saying , "O Blessed One! Children from public feedback so far has pleased dependence because you are children of the Buddha, the Buddha of love, certainly Buddha will bless you with wisdom Kabbalah, or the attainment of Bodhi, should only worry hear more educated, but refused reciting, unexpectedly Buddhism who from now certified. Although children are children of the Buddha, if not religious, it will not help! Buddha bent for compassion, teach the method in which ten schools of Buddhist austerities are attained enlightenment. " The contents of Shurangama Buddha teaches chon enlightened beings. Because enlightened beings without chon should be permanently beings life, birth and death in the sea misfortune and bear countless miserable. But it was escapism Buddhas rebirth, liberty liberation, psychic liberation, infinite wisdom and by His feet enlightened mind. In other words the Buddha with beings with the same body chon nature, but he was fully enlightened nature is that, so he became a Buddha. In contrast, because of ignorance being the nature chon, should be rebirth. If we enlightenment chon, we will be like Buddha. Chon as people realize the dream awake, not enlightened as people slept chon dream. Because Shurangama so precious, so plots ancient Indian kings see it as a national treasure and not to spread sutra out. We still remember, money Tang has Xuanzang (Tripitaka Tang) through India and in here a lot of years to sometimes know how the one we see today, but he also did not know in India There Shurangama sets. Also during this time, the Chinese side has equal University professor, was Patriarch of Tendai, has used his knowledge to invent the subject Tam Tam Quan Only. False position when he lectured on subjects University Professor Tam Tam Quan Only unto Indian monk when he visited the Tiantai Mountain, the Indian monk revealed that only half Tam Tam Quan almost like doing The Mausoleum Indian side. Since then the Chinese people know the business is still a half they have not known. He Tri Assuming University Professor desire to have the opportunity to see this to be the business, so he daily faces twice early afternoon west (India) bowed consecutive prayed for 18 years for Shurangama be soon spread to China. About 100 years later, in the era of Emperor Wu Zetian, with his Real Lac Secret Empire, Indians, has twice sought to bring Shurangama to spread to China, but Because the law is too strict, can not yet be achieved. By the last time, he wrote of the piece of silk, then rolled up, cut thigh inserted, bandaged like a mangy, brought out new success. His Real Lac eyes to use the sea to come to Guangzhou. As to the land, he would meet South Sailing lay Dung room. Layman Room capacity to function at an early age do Thua Minister for emperor Wu Zetian, but because of mistakes should be moving to the south in the land this boat. So do courtier, he was thorough and scholarly level is also an admirer of Buddhism. When he heard God say about Real lost Shurangama, he was overjoyed, but when open silk clung to the long bloody day lost all words. Fortunately, his wife brought the book Silk Room Dung was cooked with a chemical, the blood are under water but melted away, just save the ink only. He invited him Any Room Dung Lac De translating Password from Sanskrit into Chinese. His eyes to the epidemic, and the stop consonants room, a try Shurangama not only good sense but also great literature. From ancient scholars, not necessarily those of Buddhism, Confucianism, but also, every time see to Shurangama are extremely admired and praised the sense of sublime and fantastic literature of experience. Before talking about chon, Buddha asked Ananda cottage seven times the permanent place of care. 1) Mind in itself: Buddha said that if really interested in itself, the first it has to find the heart, liver, intestine, lung ... then you can see things on the outside. So one can see the heart, liver ... of yourself? So in the mind itself is absurd. 2) outside the center itself: At Buddha offered his arm, then his eyes Ananda saw his arm and immediately distinguished center. Buddha say if his eyes saw that he immediately recognize mind, the body and mind are inseparable. So say outside center itself is wrong. 3) Heart hidden in the eyes: Ananda say hide in the eye center; as well as the eyes of the glasses, the mind only see the scenery outside, but can not see inside. Buddha if the mind as well as eye glass holders can see the slide, while his mind why not see his eyes? If his mind's eye see him, then his eye into the scene was found, it must be new right outside himself. If another body outside the center, how his eyes had seen, his mind immediately recognizable. So hide behind the eye center is also not correct. 4) The body of beings, viscera in, vented complaints (five senses) outside. Organ was dark, then light the five senses. If you open your eyes see light show called outside, close your eyes see dark known as seen in the body. Ananda Buddha when seen up close their eyes, the dark scenes that are on or not for the eye eye? If for eye was dark in front, ie outside the body, why say in itself? Assuming for the moment dinner was in the trunk in a dark room there is light, what is in a dark room of his viscera are stars? Talk like that is wrong. 5) The thought is mind: mind being up the delivery method, delivery method to the mind. Now I think, the very thought that the human mind, depending on the thinking mind immediately available, nor inside, outside and in the middle. Buddha is Mind itself there will not be able to think. If there is no order that thought may be, it must find a host idiopathic hearing, that this is not correct. 6) Heart in the middle: Ananda said if interested in yourself, why not aware of? But outside the center, how the body and mind to know each other? Thus, the "heart" to make in the middle. Buddha was asked in the middle of nowhere? In the scene where the body or where? If in place of the body, the mind to foresee the intestine, liver, phèo, lungs inside. This is wrong. And as in the scene, as can be raised or not raised? If they can not as yet be no. And if possible, it can not yet appointed place as the center. Why? For such people as the center plug mentioned plants, the view from the East to the tree mentioned in the West, from the South, we mentioned plants in the north, between the world yet has confused the mind and the disorder, not clear where. 7) The very front is the mind: The mind knows discrimination, not in yourself, not outside yourself, not in the center, not in place yet, unattached (very first) all , which called attention? Buddha told Ananda: You have such enlightened mind in any place, such as the species of flying out of nowhere, in the water and on shore, called all the animals on earth objects that you did not before, is there or not? Otherwise, like rabbit fur horned turtles. If there is no advance shall not be called not. No new minister, did not then have the minister, agreed to have general interest, it can not be said to be not before. In clarifying questions, just want to put Ananda Buddha to place self-realization because Buddha is not of truth . Buddha placebo for treatment of Ananda false. Why tell the fake sick? Since the approval of Ananda is not true capital. Why say counterfeit drugs? For the word of Buddha openness nor true. Actually when Ananda said interest in the body, outside the body, to say not before the center, the place did not have such right or wrong. But because he accepted in a certain place, so the Buddha said not true. If the patient can accept not expired yet, the countless places, but where only seven persons only? If patient compliance has expired, nor a place, let alone seven seats! Self-duality identity which, if approved according to the Buddha, the truth is not in the sensitive, for truth is not out of delicate, until no themselves in a public place, or not in a public place are second to none. Why? Because if there is one place in the other place is not there, there is not a place that is second to none. Therefore Buddha said: "All organic discourse, meaning the period of non-truth", that everyone can say that it was not true. After the break the observance of Ananda, the Buddha time since from just one center to six times . Initially, provisional only Buddha senses of intuition as part heard, saw ... was about. When Ananda Buddha understood then went up a level again as the senses but is not expected, but also not a chon. Finally Buddha said the map could only engenders new senses it is chon. All measures are from the mind turns out, as the five aggregates, continental integration, drag, ceilings and continental food ... are born from the mind, and also return to the nature chon. Venerable Ananda mass and location Property is smooth, recognizing that all beings floating in the rebirth or certificate attainment is happily liberated Bodhi are also due at the bases. In the joy of the conference, Buddha asked the same in six apartments should practice the member base to gain information? This time the great 25th Arhat, Bodhisattva top order Buddha experiences submitted his enlightenment. Finally Buddha asked Bodhisattva Manjushri in 25 practice then appropriate measures for Mr. Ananda and radical Buddhists weak. Bodhisattva Manjushri said to Ananda, saying - Ananda! He should listen to: I listen compassionate Buddha, said this method of spiritual practice. He brought his hearing, listening to all intimate teachings of Buddha, much as if the negativity mote not illegal sex unless they hear more and more the mistakes. He said bringing his hearing, listening to the teachings of the Buddha, did he not bring the hearing that, again hear "identity hearing" (feet nature) around. - Ananda! "Hearing" it is not natural born, by a voice (auditorium ceiling) so he called that "listen". If you rotate the listener back into nature, not run to the voice, that is escapism is the English (auditorium ceiling). At the time of this hearing was no longer called to hear anymore (because no longer treated so no name calling). A base (ear) response was expected back feet and then, all the six apartments are also freed. - Ananda! The feeling: seeing, hearing, or, that he knew of, were bogus, as the eyes are closed. Another three thousand realms sum la statue here, nor indeed, are like flowers đóm middle of nowhere. As one can see, hear, or, know then rotate back feet, the other eye and foremost aim. While the false ceiling is spending all his heart is pure. When the mind is pure, then, the mind during photosynthesis to appear. At that time he had just solitary chon again just shines, covering around ten unreal world, then he returned to see the scenery out money in this world, as well as in a dream job. When he was like before, then her Ma-sign-old in the other dreams do catch him completely. - Ananda! For example, the shape magic trip do things, but you see movement, but the key is in the dispensers. If the other machine only draw, the other districts silent, because it has no nature. Six of his apartment, too, came from the mind, because ignorance of the six bases action. If a property already reflect expectations about the feet, the six senses were not successful. If the ceiling structure, he must also cultivate. When all the ceiling structure, the mentality he was totally lucid, that is Buddha. - Ananda! He only heard her beg my back feet nature, not chasing distinguish ceiling prospects outside, he immediately supreme enlightenment. This really is a telecommunications practice. The Buddha much like the mote are also due to this road that door Nirvana. Currently bodhisattvas and religious people born later have this conformation that the direct method. I myself by this method that is attained, only he's not Avalokiteshvara practicing this way only. Now the choices Buddha dharma practice, let people quickly into a spiritual life after attainment is the only place where the practice of Avalokitesvara is above all. And how many other legal practice, both because of the great compassionate Buddha Bless achieve greatly. Legal entities that are from where the minister that unless the ceiling up, should not be a permanent method of practice. Venerable sir! This method is very easy to cultivate, was quick attainment can bring them teach Ananda and born later, according to the practice here than other methods. This is due to the sincerity of such option. It is a completely legal subjects certificates, the ultimate liberation, that bodhisattva Manjushri Buddhist behalf Forum said in Shurangama, brings a wealth of benefit for all beings and bodhisattvas emerging whereby the show enlightened mind is chon. For us, irrespective inborn slow quickly, regardless of age and circumstances, all people, all men and all times are able to apply sophisticated defense is continuously these disciplines to advance to the escape completely. Bodhisattva Manjushri worthy indeed proclaimed as your Holiness commended Tzu Dhamma. A typical example is when our eyes just saw a car parked in the street, this is the first show for us I know the thing is the car. Thus, when we know that the car is the main know chon. But when he looked back centuries, will we get to this green car is very beautiful. When converted to differentiate know is chon no more but is replaced by delusions. Because when they see a beautiful car of the center was being ignorance and greed began to rebel. He tells us: this is the root causes of suffering. Another example is the sudden quiet night with people prelude above. As soon as we hear it said that it is aware of this guitar sound is chon. But listening to commemorate the great guitar sound up and down makes my heart flutter. When the info is passed into chon anxiety turns into delusion. Because the heart does not know my guitar sound vibration means chon but my heart flutters mean rebelling confusion in our minds. That delusion is the delusion. In short the knowledge of the original concept is chon. But the distinction of the following concepts are delusions. So when faced with the context to which we did not explore prospects discriminatory thoughts under the ceiling, which means that we rotate the senses, such as seeing, hearing, or, info back to the nature chon. If it does not start wandering out presentation chon. In this experience Buddha also taught them to keep the precepts born to be pure heart and pure mind arise through the wisdom to break through delusion. Ignorance of all the self-chon being. Finally Shurangama ngiệm beings replied to messages with the daily human exposure when six apartments with six ceiling, the mind immediately distinguish six official form. Six main formula is calculated that, as listening, tasting ... properties. If people only knew the distinction is not delusion arises and remains true mind. However after learning the distinction mind ran under the notion of taking-yard-si is of course true mind disappears and is replaced by promising formula. For example, a dish we tasted the dish immediately know this better or worse. What bad good know nothing disastrous but the idea then chasing that damn dishes delicious new urban disastrous. So the mind can distinguish oil but if the mind is not attached, the leg still is this center. However after differentiation center run center outside the continent bare feet disappeared center and is replaced by hope deluded knowledge to bring people deep in samsara. The Diamond sutra tells us that: "Ung countless children born each department office center" that is not to my mind where six ceiling attachment, the mind will be purified. Six units of humans such as the six doors of a house. If we open the door attempted six continents, the ceiling was certainly sharp wind, sound, smell, taste, touch, will spill into the law that is expected to wake from six ceiling influx invaded our consciousness. Consciousness now been replaced by expectations of pollution from outside as impure mind that taking-yard-delusion arises constantly creating opportunities for people to easily create professional. Remember, there is now also samsara. We should awaken nature back to live with his pure nature, the six apartments will be clarified in six apartments ie no attachment or depending on the scene, color, flavor ... outside. For example, knowing that eat to live, the food problem is no longer important. Just like cars, houses ... just the means to live for man not a slave to it, the mind will not be attached. This live with his feet so mind. Knowing there is something there that is approved according to the thing is real. But all things are impermanent, so the impermanence said she perishes. Knowing is not attached to the blind. Knowing two female Yes, No is the knowledge being destroyed. Know the truth known to the knowledge of chon, not stuck inside there and not two. That is spiritual knowledge, Chon Tanh of us.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGTHMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.29/9/2015.
