Phase cultivate  kindness.

This period was the period  wash  the soul , because at this stage,  the practitioner  uses every  means  to  eliminate  all  habitual  evil of many generations before ( past life ) help the mind become  pure  gentle charity,  ensure not fall into the  evil paths .

Also called phase  nurture  virtue . Meditators  parallel to the discharge of evil, always  training , nurturing all the noble virtues, the virtues you notice to prepare for the  practice  of liberation ,  guaranteed  path without  obstacles .

This is a very important phase, which is  the basis  of all the monks  practice  is like  the foundation  of the house,  without  going through  a  practice  mastered solid  at this stage, all the  practice  of liberation  else have failed.

Do not  wash  gentle heart becomes good, just to stem the evil hidden in  the mind , it is difficult  to avoid  lost in  heresy . Once sufficient grace, the evil  arises , it will turn all  the Buddhas  of  the drug ,  destroying  all  the faith healing.

If not  practice  virtue , let the  habit  bad as easily  agitated , easily regress, lack of  patience , lack of modesty,  harmony , ... it is difficult to avoid the fallen and the  obstacles  on the way  of practice  makes no  achievement  results.

By  us  since time without beginning  to now  have  the Order set  countless seeds  immoral , they are always hidden in the mind, whenever sufficient grace, we will start up, like the  seeds of  weeds in the ground  quietly , when sufficient  conditions for  water, light, ... instant self-sprout.

The  seed of  evil  as  greedy ,  selfish ,  cunning ,  hatred , revenge hostility,  envy,  jealousy ,  destructive ,  passionate ,  crazy ,  arrogance , despise him, not  getting an error , good cooking, fun evil, ... we are  the cause  cause of  sin , draws  beings  into  three evil ways , they are  linked to each other makes  the practitioner  miss  spirituality .

As  practice  also  participated list  all usually brag, met his people, the  jealousy , cushion cover,  seek to  harm  the honor  of people, ...  the soul  itself  around issues  of honor . Things  to do them by heart  the name of the  wrong use,  becoming  the drug factions, despite doing  good deeds  as well as  the ghost . When unwanted  damage  to  honor  her, it becomes  hatred , rancor. Evil was not looking forward to what the piece is  achievement  of liberation .

Or  spiritual advancement  that hugged  conceit , egotistical, considering human error, for on disrespectful, contemptuous look down, do not  learn from  people, did not  fix her. Thus  soul  filled only contain  bad stuff  away from  sin , hard to reach places high bar  ethics . Can a man be  freed  of life and death?

Besides the  seed of  evil  that,  people  we  still have a lot of  habits  are not as good as the lack of perseverance, lack of commitment rings, no  contentment , laziness,  dependence ,  multilingual , impulsively, not confident,  not paying attention , not  exclusivity ,  theater conclusion ,  agitation ,  bigotry , rather than losing,  fear , ...  In life  lived  practice  nobody  avoid  the difficulties caused by  karma  or  external  lead to,  at the same time  sophisticated  solutions escape also requires  the practitioner  to have a personality  perfectly . If even those  habits  on the road is not good,  practice ,  practitioner  hard to  overcome obstacle, hard  to reach  places  freed  completely . Therefore, entering the  pathof liberation , wanted to  firmly  and slightly forward,  the first  practitioner  to purify his heart, wrought cultivate  virtue . This is the place to say: "To  cultivate first before practicing humane religion" or "religious Humanitarian estate, telecommunications director Hy First" was so.

Cultivate  kindness ,  practitioners  must  smoothly  causal  retribution , said  clearly  all due to  dependent arising ,  distinguish  what is  good and evil  within each of these  precepts  , and have seen little of its importance.

Practitioners  must  often  find themselves at fault, in every action,  word and  thought  they start out, must  honestly  recognize  the nature  of good and evil , or bad,  dangerous , right and wrong of it. See evil, bad wrong then  immediately  let go; find good, right or they  try to  act more. By having seen their error, the new worry remodeling, increasingly find themselves many  mistakes  cons, the more the mind of shame, the more  diligent  practice  to learn  the practice. Practitioners  should note his error, the error should not look at people, do not think ill of people, ... For people at fault, people will think badly of  mental  pseudo  contained  much more  evil . In  all the  wrong , to see his fault in it.

In parallel with his spelling,  practitioners  must pay attention to, or from, looking to learn the  example , the precious virtue of rank  predecessors , mighty  sages  , and of all the Buddhas. Always  contemplate  remembrance  merit ,  virtue  of Him, to the virtues that inform you  penetrate  strong in  mind , do spend undercutting the  seeds  of defilement  has  decorations set  since time without beginning.

Therefore, at this stage,  the practitioner  can set tu:  prayer ,  repentance ,  Buddha ,  Buddhist concept , thinking, reading, doing  good deeds , ...

For all the  good deeds ,  the practitioner  must  earnestly  fun  practice ,  depending on the  capabilities that do, not because of laziness, but missed. Although little is also not  despise , ready  to sacrifice themselves  for the  good works  it. Heart charm with its beneficial interests, have like the  seed of  a new evil is no longer the occasion  arises . Meditators  have to do with  mind  cultivate good roots  and  benefit sentient beings , not to do  for the benefit  individuals ,  satisfying  curiosity won  the name of  honor and affection. Being so, the  good deeds  are not new  obstacles  as problems, new does not arise  negativity  when it left the meeting and did not  become  a ghost  when I was good. Depending on the  karma  of his people and that makes for improved  fit , to clip  bad except now. Join cropping often  alms  letting go , advised the town, memorial  causal field of merit  altruistic ; Industry  exclusive golf  then say good, close people  the wise , collective gentleness, memorial  compassion ,  patience ; Industry  delusion wrong  , the worry  prayer ,  listening to the French , it is advisable to learn  the Dhamma ,  giving  classic ,  reverently  rank  intellectual , ...

In a nutshell , do good follow  predestined  as customized treatment for drugs, this drug so that patients what their people become skillful.

Each  of object  irreversible  yet to arrive, the  practitioner  should be  thinking  , "That is because  karma  your  way feel  and according to that change now." Meditators  not  shirk , not  passionately , calmly received. Often  observe causal  her in any  form of  activity every day ,  the practitioner  will maintain the  peace ,  self-control  and  wisdom  when  faced  with wind lifetime  happiness and sadness ,  honor humiliated  ... At this stage,  the practitioner does not is  to the mind  a break which must  regularly  use it, because it's thought to consider this  fact  of  life  in the light  of truth , that  the mind  imbued with  religion .

It should be noted that when find yourself with many  faults  difficult to  modify  nor be  pessimistic  bored . Think that "everyone has the bug living beings,  karma is always difficult but, just  try , they all have days  and take , sometimes bad nature must end."

As soon find yourself with the  mistakes ,  the practitioner  must  consider reasons  that cause problems, the  pros and cons  of it and let go of it. Knowing the  mistakes  like that,  the practitioner  will easily  definitively  rid, get rid of it at source. Practitioners  should not  fear  facing the  ugliness  of her, even though it is closed immediately it despicable that  observed  for thorough analysis, then  definitely  forget to  exercise  its opposite virtue. Because when  insight  then, without thinking about it too, thought  the legal concept of  charity  regularly , the  bad karma  that will  eventually  annihilate.

For example, find yourself still  angry , know that his  ego ,  greed ,  bigotry  the minister  ... Seeing the  pros and cons  of the  anger  is  satisfying  the ego , breaking standards  of good  merit , his suffering, suffering people,  way feel  evil ...  get to know  if his closing paragraph is  anger  , the  soul  is always  at peace ,  good will  grow ,  wholesome  merit  increases complacency, leading to  liberation of life and death ...  Observe  regularly  so, courts will now be rootlessness,  the practitioner  becomes  assured , no longer  pursue the  concept  of hatred . Then the  practitioners  themselves  minded  moral thoughts  of compassion  of all the Buddhas  sages , or prayer  beings  live  compassionately . Do not remember thinking about  hatred  of myself, but just want to pitch every time, they must  discern  immediately, and then  rise to  compassionate  empathy  has  dissipated. For treatment craving now,  selfishness ,  conceit , bigotry ... must also  observe and skillful  practice  like that. Being so-called new take  intellectual sword  cut through  karma  or  turn afflictions into Bodhi  so.

Train  good morality,  the practitioner  must be  carried out  immediately where what you do  every day , whether it's little things to do well in the  sense of practice .

As  exercise  "perseverance", the spot where the  work , whether  simple  or difficult, big or small must  practice  carefully  to place  to place. For example, draw water into lu, lu bag until a new full stop; then scan thyroid scan pitch new golf vacation without aborted halfway. The large and small are difficult to persevere  to the end  like that. Even where the practice is small, long days going into  the habit . Later met the critical difficulties can  persist  destination.

Discharge unless  habits  hasty  chaotic , wrought almond slowly  blooded  right also  the birthplace  work  everyday , not  interrupted  at  the moment  yet. Walking outside, said of working,  most most  are  deliberately  careful .

Train  patience ,  diligence ,  petal ,  harmony ,  self-control ,  diligence  ...  so well.

In summary ,  the practitioner  must consider all  activities  everyday environment is forging cultivate  virtue  of her. Every  word ,  gesture  , all  need to  pay attention  to training is  good ,  meaning  is practicing all the time,  everywhere .

Meditators  often should start the  prayer  needs to  cultivate kindness  towards  perfection . As may all  beings  are  peaceful , let all  sentient beings  are  pure , may all  beings  are living  petal ,  compassion , prayers all  sentient beings  have been liberated ... or start the  prayer  as predicates  Bodhisattva  in  Flower Adornment Sutra  often  vow  like that. These  seed  penetrates healing where  consciousness  practitioner  will tempered  soul  noble pure, full of  compassion , ceases  karma , like cups  smells  foul, this one filled with juicy stuff is very fragrant, cups so immediately became good aroma.

This phase aims to  cultivate good , just worry  fostering  kindness , no  interest  to the  coast phan  anniversary activities or  break  the craving , so  meditators  are many  notions  of sexual desire  and lack of  concentration . However,  practitioners should not be afraid, just  trigger  fresh heart  to  the heart filled with  compassion , not  evil  afflictions  and  achievements  of the  virtues  essential  for the  practice  of liberation , there are things to avoid grace centered  craving  more powerful, or the coast of the province centered difficult to  preserve  spirituality only.

When  practitioner noticed  his heart was  achieved  harmony, for the scene reversible  are keeping the  clean  not  disturbing evil thought  and modest virtue, perseverance,  patience , simplicity,  harmony ,  dedicated ,  hardworking , dignified , of austerity, progressive,  generous ,  compassionate ,  selfless ,  calm,  petal , confidence,  self-control ,  attention , favored charity,  the knife , contentment ,  peace Hospice ,  honesty ,  optimism ,  purity , discharge evil, hidden virtues, glass workers, religion ... have been important  training firm , now can  see as achievements  stages  cultivate goodwill  this. Meditators  were  able to go on the path of liberation . END=NAM MO CAKYA MOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.28/2/2017.
