Prerequisites  of  spiritual advancement .

a /  deep message of cause and effect .

Who want to  use the  spiritual advancement , the first thing is to  believe deeply cause and effect . If you do not  believe  causal , then do things  ambiguous . Not only is the  spiritual advancement  difficult  successful  that  three evil ways  will not do without her. He tells us:

- Want to know the past life, this life your life to look  retribution  whatsoever. For results in future lives, this life to see what's she was sown.

Buddha say:

-  Suppose  now crime has created hundreds of thousands of lives in the less soluble, when  an affinity  to,  retribution  must expectancy.

Shurangama  theory: "The righteous must address any attacks  retribution  vạy curve".

Growing healthy people, the results improve. Growing human evil bad results.Growing melons are melon, peas or beans, it is. This is the  moral  nature. Discourse  on reasonable  cause and effect , I would single out the two-  story old to  prove .

The first story is the king  Vidudabha  genocidal  ethnic  their favorite . Before the Buddha  Shakyamuni , in  the Kapilavastu  have a professional fishing villages. In the village there is a large lake. Meanwhile,  weather  drought, dry water. All large and small fish were caught villagers ate, the only only one the biggest fish, sun-burnt near death. In the village there is a  pupil  traditionally  never  eat  fish, but the joke that day, took the first dam on the individual insect tree three times. Later, during the Buddha  Sakyamuni  was born, with  King Prasenajit  very  confident devotees worship  the Buddha Dharma . He took the queen's capital under the line of housemaids  they Thich Ca. She was born to be a  prince , named Vidudabha . As a child, King  Luu Ly  usually in  the Kapilavastu education . One day, as playful,  Prince  Vidudabha  sitting Buddha climb buildings, should be persons of  lineage Shakyamuni  cursed  chase down. Therefore, he was resentment  in the mind. 

Until  crowned  king, he immediately era ruler soldiers invaded  into Kapilavastu , massacred all the people in the city. Meanwhile, Buddha headache  raging  for three days. The  disciples  were  visiting Buddhist  seeks to  rescue  clan Gautama , but He said that  the industry  is difficult to move well. Venerable Moggallana  using  Kabbalah , leaving five hundred  kinship  clans  Shakyamuni into  a bowl  and then soar  nowhere to  rescue  them. After arriving  somewhere else , to leave them down, but when  Ton Say  look back in the  bowl  is full of blood they saw. Chu disciple  asks the Buddha about the  causes and conditions of this work. Buddha  immediately recounts  the story  of villagers in  the Kapilavastu  carnivorous  fish that ancient King  Luu Ly  is  the predecessor  of the biggest fish. 

Troops his soldiers fish in the lake which is the youth of old life. The people of clan  Gautama  was king  Vidudabha  murder, which is the villagers  eat  fish at that time . The precursor  of  the Buddha  is  the pupil . As for fun, hit the top of the biggest fish should be  retribution  headache for three days. To now  it's hard to run away. Five hundred  kinship  they Thich  Ca, but is  Venerable Moggallana rescued , but still threatening  to dissipate , not  hiding . Later King  Vidudabha oppressed and  hell . Oan oan relatively notice, such an appointment date and time. Causal  really  scary .

The second thing the  organization Ba  Truong  salvation  fox. One day after the group Ba  Truong  teaching experience  is finished,  people  were dispersed, but the only one having difficulty leaving the old man. Team Ba  Truong saw it and asked  the reason . The old man responded:

- I is not a man, that capital is crystal fox. Previous life had  to practice  here. One day, someone asked me that higher education  practice  ( realization ) was lost in a causal  or not? Then the answer is not optimistic on  causation . Inasmuch as the  answer  that was  oppressed and optimistic  as crystal fox body  underwent five hundred years, no way to  liberation  is. This time to  the Master  compassion taught revelation.

Team Ba  Truong said:

- Now you ask me that question again goes.

- Some issues  Master . Who  cultivate  perennial lost in  a causal  or not?

- Do not mistake  cause and effect .

Listen to the words  of this old man immediately  became enlightened , and they worship  thanksgiving :

- Thanks to the teachings of  the Master , now the fox escaped crystal body.Human capital in the cave in the mountain. Please invite  the Master  tomorrow manner ceremony  buried  a monk.

The day after,  organized Ba  Truong out after mountain cave, found  the corpse of a fox fine, the ceremony should immediately  buried  like a monk.

We  listened to two  stories  , the familiar  causal  truth  scary . But did  the Buddha  then but can not exempt  retribution  headache. Retributive  wrong not run at all. The industry  is difficult  to escape . So , in all  the time we  have to be careful , not to create bad press.

b / Strictly  morality  laws.

For  meticulous  spiritual advancement , the first thing is to  morality . About the director's original  Bodhi  unsurpassed . Because the world is born. Due to the development of wisdom. Without  morality,  which wants to  practice  can not be. Shurangama  comes to  Buddha  commandment reminds  us  about the four virtues  purity . Such  morality  that want tu  concentration  is impossible to  get rid of  TB ceiling . Again, though  the current  may arise  wisdom  or  meditation , but still lost to the  pagan demons . So , know that  morality  is important. Who morality  always lettered  nagas  favor ,  pagan demons  feared admired. Who break the precepts  , you called  bandits , they often  follow  erase  footprints them.

In the past , where the country's next king  Ke Tan , have a house  lam old .Nearby there is a  poisonous dragon , often  out  harmful local people. So, five hundred  Arhat  temple which  combined  together, using power  of meditation  to expel the  poison dragon  is gone, but I could not. After this, there is an unknown monk  meditating , he just told the  poisonous dragon  sentences:

- Behold Hien Thien! Please leave this place.

Hearing that,  poisonous dragon  flew away  elsewhere . We increased  Arhat asked the other monks that used  supernormal  what drove the  poison dragon .The other monk replied:

- I do not know how to use  the force of  meditation , but the only true  morality confidentiality . Holders  as well as the significant gender contempt.

We  just  think  watching, spa  meditation  of five hundred  Arhat , can not  match a strictly increasing prime  precepts .

People tell that the  Sixth Patriarch  often taught:

-  Mind average  what they labored  over the world . Mind almond  visual quality should do  meditation  ?

I ask that you have  reached the  average mind  and  nature live  yet? If there is a pink body Chang'e she hugged her naked, you can work  not mind  ? If someone unprovoked  insults beaten, you have consciousness  anger  it? You  can not consciousness  distinguishing  itself resentment  injured hate,  non-market yourself human? Mature  doing so, the new so loud. By contrast, do not say empty words.

c /  Trust Center  solidly .

Want to  use the  spiritual advancement , the first to have  faith  solidly . The belief is the mother of all  merit . Despite what is,  if not  have  faith  , then do not be finished. Us  if you want to  get rid of  birth and death , they must needs have faith  solidly . Buddha  that  beings  on earth are virtues  Minister position  favored by  the Tathagata . Just because  delusions  attachment , should not be able to attain . Therefore, a new Buddhist theory of how  the practice  variations , to  the treatment  of heart disease  beings . We  must  believe  that  the Buddha's teaching  is nowhere language never  empty . Must believe that  beings  can become Buddhas . Why  we  can not  become a Buddha  ? Because  we  do not care under the  law that  determined  the extrajudicial  elaborate . 

For as  yet know that soy can make tofu, but if not done, the soybeans can not turn into  tofu. So, to do to create. If you give the right amount of gypsum is not impossible to tofu. If true  , such as measures  that cooked, sediment filter, then remove plaster correct  classification of , the  decision  will become tofu. Tu religion  also like. If such  use of  elaborately  fortified  or lawful can not  become a Buddha . If  practice  as  dharma  without degenerate and no  remorse , the decision  will  become a Buddha . So , should have  believed  deeply  that  we will  become a Buddha , then  y in  the teachings  of the Buddha that  practice , the  decision  will  become a Buddha .

Zen Master  Yongjia  said:

-  Certified true  minister, not  the legal person . In some  moments , instant  kill now  Avici . If you use the word  expectation terminology  lies  beings , self-promotion, the blade now  a billion  lives.

Zen Master  because  kindness  compassion, want those  post-lai  had  faith fortified , should play  their vows  so vast.

d /  Decision  practicing  a  method .

Having  faith  full then, they must choose a  method  for  the religious . Frequency can not shine through the water, at the water department. Buddhist concept also. Mantras  or well. Meditation  is also good. In general, it is important to decide to choose a  method , and then use all  the talent  that  practice ,  forever does not degenerate or  remorse . Today not a  success , but tomorrow will be.This year not a  success , but next year will come. Life has not been accomplished , but  the next life  will become. He  Quy Son  said:

-  Everlasting  if not  retrogression  , the  fruition  Buddha  certainly  would have any.

Many people do not notice this. Today heard  good knowledge  of this sure Buddhist concept  very well, went  nianfo  two days. Next, listen to your  spiritual friend  told another  meditation  very well, immediately they  meditated for two days. Playing in the east, right-hand column jokes. Joking  lifetime  until  death.Forever playful contempt greasy, has  wasted life  very not religious!

f /  Method of  meditation .

The practice  of use  , though many, but lettered  Buddha  are using  the practice of magic  supreme  this. In  the conference  Surangama,  Buddha told Bodhisattva  Manjushri  selection  method  staff . Great artist  Manjushri immediately select  disciplines  Atrium Apartments  Vienna  of  Bodhisattva Guanyin  most do.

We  hear the  nature  around. That is  meditation . In  the hall , now I have lectured on  the practice  of meditation .

g / The  meditation  to know.

As do all  the everyday , must always concentrate on directing. If so, then where is not the  ashrams  ? At  public use , should not be  approved before  the hall  or something. Is not the new sitting meditation called. Call  meditation  or  meditation, whatever the obstacles created only because the deep  wisdom  of the land  we have  in life  degenerate .

Meditation  must learn how to  support themselves  center  said . Now do not know how to nurse, if less, it will be illnesses, even if they were encountered many  stumbling . It missed that instead! In  the hall , while seated in flavor (sitting meditation ) or  pilgrimage  (go to meditate) to  use the  nursing where the heart . Method nursing  hearts  abound. Single comb this  discussion .

At  legged , sitting upright in a  natural . Do not  start heart  volition , propelled waist leaning forward. If doing so, it will cause rising air missiles. The result, after meditation , tears  overflowing , nose mouth breathing air,  eating  take  the taste , maybe even vomit blood. Again, do not push the waist tilt back, shoulder or pulled early withdrawal, for you will easily get lost in  dullness . At the time of  drowsiness, to  open your eyes  wide open, pulling her back straight waist,  wider  belts, shaken gently moving the body  dullness  will disappear.

If  use of  the urgency,  the body and mind  will  feel  sorrow  dryly. When it must renounce all conditions, even  elaborately  also let go. Rest for about half an incense stick, then just  feel  comfortable  pleasant , instant  continued  launch elaborately . By contrast, the date  accumulate , causing nature  becomes  crusty irritating, even having  ghost scene  found instant  frenzy .

Meditate  a little time to get  used life , the  realm  out  a lot, since not all. It needed  is your attachment to them not, they would be creating  obstacles  for themselves. Persons  secular sentence: "See monster but not for the bizarre, the self-dissipating monster".

But see  demons  devil to  harass  mess, but you do not film  noticed  them, or do not  fear . Even see the Buddha  Shakyamuni  to hand rubbing his head prophesies , you also do not  pay attention  to, or  start heart  glad .

Shurangama  said: "Without  giving into the  church, which is called  the realm of healing. If  starting center  the church, which lost in the wrong species".

B /  Ha player  elaborate .

a / Be discerning  guest host .

Extrajudicial killings  elaborately  like? In  the conference  Surangama,  religious ascetics author  mentions the word "Hotel Tran", that's where the  heart primary defense is  the use  of  us . Supposedly  says:

-  For as  passengers refuge in the inn, or sleeping or  eating . Eating  sleeping instant finished  arranging luggage ,  continue  taking steps, not  idle  stay. If it is the employer, the self not to go. Thinking  like that, not a guest office, back office called the employer. Again,  such as  after the rain  the sun  came up, shining light throughout  nowhere , Minister of dust visible. Dusty capital nature  fluctuate. Nowhere  capital nature  calm  equanimity . Deposition  of tranquility  called nowhere . Oscillation  called dusty,  bare living .

Ceilinged living  ie dust, for example  delusions . Nowhere  ie owners, for example  nature . Permanent  is the owner, who does not like  the traveler  at the time went. Employers example for  nature  permanent and which are not depending on the  delusion  that suddenly born suddenly extinguished. So  sure if heartless  where all things, all things shall fear  harassment  impede her.

Ceiling substances, ie dusty self  oscillation , which makes  obstacles  nowhere tranquility  wealth before . Such as  delusions , equity  being destroyed  but unobstructed  nature  very front ,  such as the estate . So sure a concept not being, all error such measures.

In this word "hotel" is meant crude, while the word "Chen" is meant  subtle .Person  a play  spiritual advancement , first need to  realize  the word "owner" and "Guest" is no longer subject to  delusions  tied  entice. One step further progress is to  understand  the word "no" and "Chen" is  delusion  can not do interfere. So sure, it is no longer discern hatred. If  the basics of  clear  is how the sophisticated  practitioners who  went too halfway already.

b /  Voice head  with  doubt .

Diachronic  Patriarch  always  just straight  into the heart, to see the nature  of the Buddha . As legal  "An Mind" by  Dat Ma  Patriarch or "Luan Ants Nature" of  the Sixth Patriarch ; something  essential  is to  admit  to grasp , without crowd  early dialog . Tam who now lives unlike the old center, can not  resolve  land Bicycle, just joking profane; counting everyone worried  treasure  for others, and for that treasure  that is his. So they  Patriarch , each of whom  made manually  label, set up  concrete subjects  informal measures,  such as legislation  crowd  early dialogue , to make people  learn directors  know how to  practice .

The first voice  there are many, such as "on a legal Muon. A code of nowhere?""The cross  section view  of  us  before being  a parent  born like?", Etc .. However , the phrase "Who is reciting Buddha" is a  popular  one.

Why call  the first phone  ? Conversation is  verbal . "First" is the first; ie  mind purity  available, before you start  wandering  and emit  words . Mind  before starting the "A  Amida  Buddha", is called  the first dialog . An unborn concept, called  the first dialog . Birth anniversary was then called the tail dialog. Unborn concept called unproductive, no  agitation , no  drowsiness , no wrecked prior to the first scene , did not touch on the  bass is not , or not as well known as extinction. Time  moments  etched, always  best idea , turned  reflected  in the "not  born not  kill", should be called the crowd  first phone , or condescending head voice .

For the spectators  the first phone , first to  arise  doubt . Doubt  tree  trượng shop's  first phone . Star called  the Comfort  ? As asked, "Who is the Buddhist concept", then everyone will know who is their anniversary. However ,  we  use your mouth or use concept  in mind  ? If the concept is used when sleeping mouth, the mouth is still there, no idea why? If the user  in mind , this heart shape is like? Unable to capture this interest is palpable. Because not  understand  that, so even the word "Who"  arises  anniversary  suspect gently. However , do not start too coarse threads. Must initiate as  subtle  as long  as possible as long as there is. Depending on  where in,  ever  suspected condescension on this concept, like spring water flowing constantly, which can not bear the two concepts.If guests began to recite, do not affect. Nghi no idea, must be gently start threads.Person  a play ,  to practice  in the province to attain  life use  more, but it is essential not to  arise  attention  distinction . No  notice  has  the power  or  not the power, and you are in a net or in action, but  single-mindedly  agreement extrajudicial  sophisticated  enough.

In four words: "Who is the Buddhist concept", the word "Who" is the most important. Three other letters, no more than just  words  alone,  as self-  clothed dinner asked who? Go higher  urination  are? Run  ignorance  negativity  is?Commonly known  generally feeling  is? At walking outside, to always launch the "Who", the new  trigger  is suspected easy concept. Do not measure impairment judging  whether or not the start. The word "Who" of the  first voice  is actually Dhamma of  meditation , but do not recite word "Who" or four words, "Who is reciting Buddha" as the anniversary  honors  the Buddha, or not measure impairment  judgment , see if anyone is who  recite the Buddha , and then call it doubt . If you take the four letters "Recitation is one" that notion continual mouth it is impossible by  virtue of  a sentence recite "A  Amida  Buddha."

Some  ambiguity  thoughts  chaotic , looking east for west, and for that  doubt .Should have known, as  thoughts  are  wandering thoughts  arise more and more.Want promoted whereas oppressed. This person  practice should have known.

Who  beginner  arises  doubt  very  crude . Time discontinuity, the time  constant , net time, while not pure, it is not considered as start-  doubt , just call start delusions . However , as long as the mind religious  hysteria  slowly will be subdued , and the first anniversary where the office is also slightly. Then  new called  meditation . Elaborately  slowly  maturing ; not initiate  doubt  yourself and still comfortable, sit back and do not know where, and also unknown to body, mind and  world . Comfort concept  alone  will slowly  visible , not  interrupted ; it's called the launch  doubt . Honestly,  the first time  use of  which is all  delusion emerges. Until  doubt  true  out  until then, the new  true  that  public use . Then, easily  pass  the gate  to turn into the main major highways.

Firstly, will  reach the  realm of  pure  contempt  indefinitely. If left  lost the  sense of projection wife, went into the  state of  dullness  gently. If your smart labels have  good knowledge  in the next, knowing  realm  her this, use plants  native version  for a heo dam, filled the sky, the cloud cover  mainland  scattered. Right there, so there are many opportunities  enlightenment .

Second, once  purified ,  not non  -closing, if  doubt  lose, then that is  neutral , ie hard rock sitting on a dry tree, or called "ice around the rocks". By then must initiate  doubt . Recommended starting  doubt  ie sensory projection. Ie no sensory  confusion , and  wisdom . Screening ie not  chaotic , and is specified. Single  office where a concept; However downs that  compares President ,  as motionless , lingling  any soot , often tri willow willow, as hot gases emit, like rippling silk rotate a stop forever. Use of  coming here, to have a full eye pure  vajra , without setting forth  doubt  anymore. If problems start early, but that is brought upon him. Formerly  there's the old monk asked  Trieu Chau :

- Unable to bring an object to, then how?

Trieu Chau  said:

- Discharge abandoned it.

- A character also can not bring, then let go of something?

- Drain away does not help, then chased it away.

Speaking of this, as in light wind, known as self-cold water hot, can not use  words that  gain . Who  reached  it,  naturally  understand . Not  reached  , the said expenditure also  vain . So  sure:

- On the way to meet the search for mainland visitors. The bard did not contest.

C / Screening incident  early dialogue  with counterculture  writing  nature.

Or ask:

-  Teachings  counterculture  written  character (listen again to hear his nature) of the  Bodhisattva  Guanyin  has to be considered  the practice  of meditation  is not?

Condescending talk about  dialogue first , ie  make you  taste the  moment carved,  single  cylinder where a concept,  reflective optical feedback  in the "not born not  kill ( the first voice )". Counterculture  written  character (listen to the nature of his), that is  sure you  're the  moments  where an idea carved pillars to listen to  nature  around. "Islam" means the opposite view. "Not  being not  kill" that is  nature . The "Play" is different from the "projection" upon line ie when they heard  the sound , saw  appearances . However , beyond listening without  audio .Seeing that not beyond  appearances ,  obvious  distinction  clearly . Now go against the flow, it hear  the essence  of yourself, do not be  chasing  audio appearances , to  return to  power  could most  intelligent planet  ( an enlightened). Meanwhile, the "hearing" and the "projection" are no longer two.

We  should know that calling condescending  head phone , or call replay  nature of his  absolutely  not use eyes to see, nor the ears to hear. If using the eyes to see, or ears to hear, which is  run according to  sound  appearances , which are moving objects, so called upon line. If  single  office where a concept of "not being not  kill" without  chasing  sounds  appearances , then call it a reverse flow, and is condescending  head phone , or listening to the  nature  around.

D / Mind eager for the  birth and death , and  give rise to  long term .

For  meditation , it is important to have keen interest because  birth and death , and  rise to  cultivate  long. Otherwise  there is keen interest because of the  birth and death  , the  doubt  can not start, and  elaborately  not  incremental . If you do not  play mind  to practice  long-term, but a ten hot air, then  meticulously  laminar impossible. Only  key  is long centered  doubt  can initiate. At  doubt  true  , the problem is starting  afflictions  working ceiling  relentless self also cease.Meanwhile,  natural  water streams flowing to where the canal there. Now I will tell the  story  firsthand.

Qing, in 1900, the coalition of eight  countries  to the capital. Then do the same  to follow  the price lifeguards Emperor Guangxu and  Empress Dowager  Cixi. Union households cost Siem jogging toward the West. Every day dozens of miles run.Sometimes there is no  food  or water. On the way to offer people the king forest wild vegetables to eat potatoes. King finished eating vegetables then asked what it was that so yummy! You see considered,  the emperor  wearing dragon cell weekdays, majesty. He has every jogging on the road, flat stomach hungry,  eat vegetables,  potatoes wild forest? However , when running the  asylum , long cells could not fill, no longer seemed majestic, only  the whirring  run on the road, hungry  to  eat vegetables,  potatoes wild forests. 

Why were all let go? As coalition forces want to catch the king, so he must  focus fleeing  refugees  to preserve life. After peace talks, the king away from the price of recovery , back up to his robes, the majestic seemed  very much , can not run whirring  on the road, no longer  hungry . If you do not  have the delicacy of taste, it is impossible to swallow from the neck. Why then can not let go of it? Since the coalition no longer reach the king burned. He did not have the heart  to flee again. If the king used mood run  refuge  that  spiritual advancement  , then worry not  enlightenment . However , unfortunately the king has no lasting interest. Meet old scene immediately upon the floating nature again.

You  co-exhibitors  to learn! Fund  impermanence  always assemble the life of  us. It can not be "Peace Resolution" for  us to  be. So , be swift  determination to rise to  long to cut off the line  of birth and death  !

To Cao Phong said:

- If you want to  meditate  a time to carve  achievements , they must renounce all like falling down a sinkhole thousand cubits. From morning to night, from dusk to dawn, gathering thousands of  ideas , all  thoughts  about a center line of the bridge out of  birth and death , which  ultimately  decides not start two concepts. The use  of such emergency, or three days, or five days, or seven days,  if not  thoroughly enlightened , Cao Phong me today are  guilty of  great expectation terms ,  forever  oppressed and  hell  blade.

To Cao  Phong heart  fervently anniversary, hearts filled with  compassion , afraid we  do not  give rise to  long term, should new  vows  the  matter as  that.

E / The difficult and easy while the  spiritual advancement  of new  public use and  cultivation  of perennial.

a / The difficulty and ease of new  public employees .

* /  The difficulty of  a play  -practitioners who  are interested endless expectations.

Seriously ill  from  beginner  is renounce  delusion  and  habitual behavior  is not well. Ignorance ,  high drain  conceit ,  jealousy ,  obstacles ,  greed ,  anger ,  love and desire ,  laxity , is the food  delicious . Thi non-  human ego filled the belly, how  that corresponds  with the director? You have  ordained , so  came  from a poem Dasher sub stations should hardly abandon the  habitual  haughty  self-marketing . Was unfairly  blocking slightly, unable to stand patiently, then said something to the  advantage of  practicing religion  ? They did not know that Buddha  Shakyamuni  which is  the prince , but to let go of all  ordained  spiritual advancement . Or maybe someone knows something  written  words , working class  literature , criticism shelf argument went,  explaining  discussion  Shot contest  metal neck . Still can not take yourself writing or  in another resolution , but the consciousness  of high drain  conceit . When ill, suffering through the sky cried. Or order on December thirty days, hands trembling legs disorder; the daily prophet, not used at all,  regretting  stars up!

Who have little  direct attention , but did not know where  the extrajudicial elaborate . Some people, very afraid of  delusion ; unless they try up forever without being, so  negativity  all day, then resentment coal itself is  karma  heavy, causing  heart rot  spiritual advancement .

Some people want the same  delusion  challenge died, and  decided to  fight to death with them, that aggressive anger arms gas supply, puffed up  eyes widened, as nearly  killed . However , can not  lay  with  delusions  were so angry splendid voice , coughing blood found  insane .

Or maybe people are not afraid to touch, or should have known his own self has arisen "demon"  is not accepted . Did not want to be without. Want to realize that enlightenment was not finished.

Or have players who bring the mind  of enlightenment , but they do know, if you bring your mind  of enlightenment ,  think of the Buddha , then that is great delusion . Cat could not cooked rice; Though the bridge till the donkey decided not  enlightened  being.

Or occupied by a two cedars, then consciousness  excited , like  turtle blind , randomized  dry hollow tree which rescued at sea, but not as  elaborately  true , so that ma  glad  obscures temperaments .

Or people because in  the realm  of tranquility ,  feeling  very  pure , so do not want to cultivate in the cave at. So , just like hiding place of  tranquility  that religious, but knowing did  relatives  of two  satanic accept static.

These infections during  meditation  has many types. Generally, the  primary muscle  before beginning the road to it is difficult; as has  favored sense  without shine, it is easy being  scattered , leaving  no mind  can be calm. Or shine without sense, that is when  meditation  is dead water of  ignorance  intrusion  killed.

* /  It's easy  beginner  is able to let go of that, only one thought.

But sure  the use  is difficult, but when the road to the top, then it is very easy.Why  interest profile  of the user  easily? Because not  reach  the realm  of meditation  at all, should renounce all very easy. Let go of what? Ie releases the ignorance  negativity . How to let go? As at  the monks  to celebrate  rebirth demand  for the  deceased , if you have some questions verbally abused the corpse  did not move, popular anger gases. Or hit a few sticks, that person never used arms to resist. At lives, usually starting  ignorance , but today no longer boot. Normal  liked list  Dear benefits, which are no longer wanted. Normally  how kind of  habitual behavior  pollution , but which now no longer exists. Again, that person no longer  distinguish  anything. What was also let go off. You  co-exhibitors  to learn! Drain the  breath  last , monocoque body  becomes  corpse . 

The reason  we  let go of  things  not so seriously as this body, so being  non-market  yourself person, hate the player injured discharge. If clearly see this as a dead body body, do not  adore  it, it is not for yourself, then nothing can not let go of it! Just let go by this body, then twelve times, for oil and walking outside, in the busy time spare pure action, in itself only a concept outside guests. Air conditioning squares  doubt  not  interrupted , and not  mixed with  strange thoughts. Then, using the  first phone , as disasters school sword, to the guillotine ma ma, Buddha to Buddha guillotine; not afraid of  that idea  at all, who do hurdles, one  distinguished  Choudhry, who  has accepted not accepted  ? If fear of  delusion  is to make  incremental another layer of  illusion . Knowing  purity , that was not  pure . Afraid not touch on, that optimism where. Want to  become a Buddha  , the entrances were ghosts. So chop wood carry water sure, no expenditure is directed  subtle . Digging vegetables are meditation muscle. Not legged  meditating  all day which is calculated  using the spiritual advancement .

b / It's difficult and easy to  cultivate  perennial.

* /  It's hard to  cultivate  perennial top hundred yards bamboo can not go one step further.

Why is it difficult? Who  practice  for years,  using the mind  time to  doubt  truth out , there must be feeling with the new projector  overcome  samsara . No sense of optimism that is not projecting into the outlook. Reached the  realm  was very difficult. However , many people  reached  the panic and fear that can not be freed , because standing on the tops of bamboo hundred yards that can not go one step further. There are many people to  reach  the realm of  this right to play a little bit of  wisdom , that  knowledge  thoroughly several  koan  of the ancients, immediately let go of  doubt  and self-era radical allegedly  enlightened , so do poetry Useful shelf, lifted eyebrow glance, proclaimed  good knowledge , but do not know themselves as  relatives of  Lucifer .

Again, there are people who understand the  mistake  the meaning  of the verses of the  land which the  Patriarch  , "In addition to stopping the coast, in such urgent , mind as walls, are  able to enter  religion" with the teachings of the  Sixth Patriarch  , "Do not think good , do not think evil. At that time, duty  section area of the  Venerable  Ming is what? "

At that time , it's like sitting on a dry tree boulders, people get  into  making  sure the base  and mistakenly received strange land is his hometown. Old woman burned am just to scold those  Chinese electronic  attachments .

* /  The ease of  use of  perennial  elaborately  silent  continuously .

Easy Star called  public use  ? Now, do not be complacent and do not stop halfway , but to  continually whisper quiet silent  practice . In  continuous  silent again adds to the  ongoing  silent. In  subtle  to more  subtle . When the time comes, the casks  naturally  will be back. If not , have to rely on  good knowledgeremoving closing nailed.

University Professor  Ham Son write verse:

"On initiation towering mountains

Four breadth  boundless

Is still  not known

Stream thousands moon shine

In spring there is no moon

Moon hanging  in the sky  blue

Crooned this song

Chant  such as meditation. "

The first two verses speak of  Consciousness  enlightenment  single  foot  of the things  that are not immersed in their observance; That center projector  shining around  great earth . Four discusses the design  legs like  magic to  which ordinary  incomprehensible. Three generations of  the Buddhas can not seek a place of ego, so sure that 'No one knows'. V "Moon premiere single stream of thousands," he Ham Son self-  examples  as  means  to  express  the realm  of her. Two last questions, lest people wrongly finger is  the moon  should be particularly  alert  us . Once other  words  , it is not meditation.

2 /  Conclusion .

Things I said, just to remove the sticky beam bush,  rid  of trouble . If other  words , it does not have to  mean feet  truth. The Career  ancient virtues  to people by not hitting it as well scold; ie  enlightened them with  gestures  act very  idyllic .Who  practice  at present can not be with the packaging  practice  of the ancients.Do not be  mistaken for  finger is  the moon . You  co-exhibitors  meditation! Let's see if his finger is who? The moon  is? Please join the crowd! END=NAM MO CAKYA MOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.6/12/2016.
