What is Life Expectancy?

Do not deliberately lie, do not do things like "covered ears that steal the bell."

A certain layman must have a stable foundation for spiritual practice. What is solid foundation?That is strict discipline. Monks and nuns must learn to memorize the Four Noble Truths, namely, the Law of Samadhi, the Law of Bhikkhu, the bhikkhuni, the Sutra, and so on. Make a monk

If the foundation is not stable, all day thinking about money thinking about sexual desire, "the body even go home, but the mind does not enter the religion." So that's a hundred thousand miles away. These monastics are in the Buddhist doctrine of corruption, can not admit they are monastics.

The monk was not allowed to go to this coast, to go to other coasts, nor to go alone in a small temple, calling on the layman to protect. Single life offerings, such acts do not conform to the rules of the Buddha statute. If you have these behaviors, you have to make quick changes, because:

Most master slippery, fatty Tu Di Son.

Reality unsuccessfully Dao, cover letter treat.

Mean:

The grain of rice is given to the master, weighing down to Mount Meru.

Eat not finished Dao, wear horns, pay the hair.

In the past, the righteous people cultivated, at the cottage, plowing their own fields, eating by themselves; Absolutely not thanks to foreign charm. For the purpose of destroying greed, so they stay at home to practice. Or they may lock themselves up, because they want to make sure their education and morals are guaranteed. If true Taoist, can be alone loneliness, but can not afford to live alone offerings of layman. To do so is to bring the Law-Dhamma into Dharma, also the destruction of Buddhism.

At present monks prefer solitary monks in the monastery. Why so? Because if they do not keep the precepts, no one will see, the old rules are not known to anyone, can depend on sex, what to do, no one to restraint, freedom of self, can Say no to anything. Or else there are others in the vihara of their practice of a number of lay people, said to do this assembly, but the reality is just borrow the Buddhist shirt, thanks to the Buddha to find food only.

There are those who are ordained, do not use the money of the layman on the Buddha's work, the opposite use of that money to buy luxury things, cars, do private things. Or buy TV, then watch TV day, forget the chanting early evening. Or buy a refrigerator to store delicious delicacies. In short, they are immersed in enjoyment, greed, joy. The current atmosphere is exactly that. They bring the ascetic nature of Buddhism completely transformed, so she was the suffering of the Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha in the past!

Someone said: "Born in this age, I need to watch TV, need to know international news, otherwise blind, dumb, deaf know nothing." Do you know anything about life outside?Knowing the matter in real life, is it possible to avoid death?

Someone once said, "Can spiritual practitioners avoid death?" You practice, until death also must die, but before dying your mind is clear, absolutely not afflicted, not tangled, of course dead. If you do not practice, you die; But die a way, dreamy, confused. Do not remember the male, remember the north, the heart is not pure, hug that hate dead. That's the difference, do you know?

For the true monk, at death, they are very wise, know where they are from and where they will go; Clearly there is no ambiguity at all, do not forget to cross the line. Those who do not practice at the time of the dream, when going to the lake, the whole life of confusion. They do not know what the reason why I came, then why go. Do not know where from, then go to where. Completely blind

The purpose of ordination is to give birth to death, not because of enjoyment. So when you go to cult then need to greedy material enjoyment? What do you want to marry? I advocate that anyone who wants to be alone in a small pagoda to find a way to enjoy, then pay for it. Why?Because the celibate than the solitary pillar of a small temple much better, do not make up the just said. That point hopes you pay close attention.

To say that a monk who lives alone in a small pagoda is not meant to be spiritual but to enjoy the offerings, there are certain people who do not want to hear it. I do not need to know if you want to hear or not, I'm still talking because of the outlook of Buddhism. So say, make others uncomfortable. One more time: "Phàm is the exiles enjoy enjoyment, without the cultivation, then too only clergy only." Hope the brothers encourage each other, remind each other, do not deliberately lie, do not do things like "Headphones that steal the bell." Cover the holy cloth.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.2/7/2017.
