10. The ninth largest

THE GREATEST PRAYER 9

 " I wish later life, when the results of the Bodhi fruit lead the beings out of the net karmic retribution, the liberation of all attachment of the pagan. If there are those who fall into the forest of evil ants, we take them back to the right view and gradually they follow the Bodhisattva way of life, to witness the Supreme Patriarch of the Right Enlightenment.

Medicine Buddha Venerable King Ly Vuong vowed that when he became a Buddha, he would make beings out of the karmic circle. When we are in the off-world, Buddhists are not Buddhists or ordained people, yet do not practice vow is like going along the water line, but when we give attention to the Three Jewels, All your life for the Three Jewels, the cultivation of learning is like going upstream. Which goes against the flow of water, the long karmic distances we have created in the past or in this life will find, forming obstacles prevented themselves on the path of spiritual practice. Just like you go to a bank, when it comes to repaying your debt, the bank can not evade because the bank has evidence, papers must pay, then you have to pay both capital and interest. Also,

Therefore, talking about ghosts, Zen master said: " If the practitioners can not distinguish ten kinds of ghosts, not only failed to achieve results but also retrogression . In the Surangama Sutra, the Buddha teaches people who practice according to the Buddha's teachings if they are not smart enough to be caught in the net of ghosts. When we are entangled, even though we have been practicing for many lifetimes, obstacles remain. If not clear difference is very easy to be attached. Here are ten ghosts:

          1 / OAN:

          Motherhood is also called karma from karma long to this life. From many birth to now, born in the real life, wrong creation of unfaithful, irreparable, inhuman, irrelevant. Sat, director, lust, expectations, greed, court, si, tightly bound more oan. This time, we want to learn the way to meet again, it is intrusive, or do not achieve the path of the path, not achieved. We must be born ashamed, even repentance, earnestly asked the Three Jewels to help the family make all the previous self-destructive, all oan self backward or disappear. Back to the four great vows to benefit all beings, the fruit is unleashed, Supreme Bodhi.

Here, Zen master said, in the past or present, we kill, robbery, sexual misconduct, lying, drinking alcohol, create a lot of negative karma so today, in the past or present time to claim.

In Quan Am Linh there is a story told by a pastor and witness. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a merchant called Ba Lan in Anhui County, Jiangsu Province. He trusts Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara although business is busy but every night he still respects the statue Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara worship earnest. In the spring of At Dau, soldiers panicked toward Yangzhou, at that time there were great revolts, in the turmoil that many people died. So every night, he turned to the statue Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara and asked Bodhisattva to support his family through the accident. One day, he dreamed that Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara appeared and said:All seventeen people in the family, none of whom had a debt to the robber, and only children in the past used a twenty-six slash. This person is called Wang Ma Zi. This morning, this person will definitely come to claim the net. Call seventeen members of the family to shelter through the East, but you will certainly be sacrificed . After the dream, he still earnest, reverent spirit thanks to the family of the Bodhisattva. At three o'clock in the morning, he was too tired to fall asleep. He dreamed of the Bodhisattva's presence and said: " However, this morning, I sincerely made a big party in the middle of the house. That person comes, you invite to eat and the story of many unfortunate lives can be resolved" The next morning, Ba Hanh called seventeen members of the family to shelter the house east and open the door to sit in the middle of the house ready to wait. Naturally that morning, there was a general robber in the North (that is, Phien invaders), the handkerchief passed by the house, naturally there is something very strange and rushed into the house. When meeting each other, he asked, " Are you Wang Xiaoshu?" This person is very surprised, said that from the far north, Jiangsu Province has no name and no one knows his appearance but why this person knows. At that time, Ba Ngan told us that everyday he worshiped Avalokiteshvara, so the night before was told by the Bodhisattva, saying that this morning there was a man named Vuong Ma Tu from the north and he could not avoid it. owed this blood debt because in the past has cut that person twenty-six. He said that this life of gratitude pay off forever so today is ready to die. Ma Eun finished listening, thinking that if cutting this man twenty-six kicks, then tomorrow he will also return to find him to return, so gratitude to know how to stop. So, King Wan Zi turned around and slid his heel at twenty-six. After finishing, two brothers. Later, Wang Zhi removed the profession of robbery, become honest people, always advise others to do good deeds because of cause and effect absolutely true in this life.

Through the above story, you see clearly that in the past, we have sown many seeds of suffering for others, now, thanks to the practice should shift from severe to light, from light no. If Trinh Lan does not know the wisdom of the Three Jewels, no reverent worship, sincere repentance Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara certainly received the twenty-six kings of the Eternal Son.

Another story in Zen: Zen master Thong as he was sent to the Master to carry water. As she was carrying water, she met a fishman passing by, and a large fish jumped into the water tank. At that time, as a little novice ignorant so he hand-to-mouth beat the fish. After growing up and practicing martial law, one day he told the Sangha to go away, and he stayed for a debt payment several years ago. When they asked them, he said, " At noon everything will be clear ." At noon, suddenly a general named Truong Lang passed the pagoda, do not know why suddenly suddenly his face flushed, wanted to carry the sword straight into the temple to find the abbot to cut. Just entering the door, Zen Master Thong Tue said:

- I waited for thirty years, now he has come.

Zhang Lang was surprised, saying:

- I do not know the teacher and never met, but my mind always haunted to go to this temple and find teachers to kill.

Who is this Buddhist Truong Lang you know? Thirty years ago, Zhang Lang was the fish that Zen Master Thong Tue was a hand-to-hand kill. Zhang Lang is also a true Buddhist of the Pure Land. After listening to Zen Master Thong Tue, he recounts the story of the previous day, seeing that there was no end to his injustice. Zen Master Thong Tue see that the mass meeting, get paper and write a shelf:

          Thirty years of drift

          Change phen shape

          No doubt meet today

          Pay back the old debt.

After finishing the verse, he let go of his pen and became a citizen.

What do you see here, if you do not practice? Zhang Lang is a devout Buddhist, Zen Master Thong Tuệ is also a religious practitioner enlightened, so he found it was time to repay. Because many left-wing petitions will surely come to us, if we know to cultivate and resolve, then karma will cease. So the Buddha taught:

Hate to kill hatred

This life does not have to be.

Compassion killing hate

Is the law of revenue. 

You see in the life of ordinary life, there are beautiful women, gentle but a husband took a drunk all day drinking alcohol, then beat the baby, but told his wife to leave her orange bear not to be removed. Previously, when I did not know Buddhism, I thought that my wife was still sentimental so I did not quit, but later learned that it was due to many karmic debts borrowed but not paid. So when the situation, miserable, paradise, we do not blame the sky, blame the land, social responsibility, the situation, the parents should blame themselves before the smart. So in the past we used to create unfaithful, unrighteous, abusive, murderous, robbery, sexual misconduct, lying, drinking, doing all kinds of things. When it comes to fruit, nothing is strange.

In the Cause and Effect, the Buddha says:

Assuming the gods are real

Department of unexpected operations

The coast of time

The reporter finished his life.

That is: Assuming hundreds of thousands of lives, where the creation of karma is not lost. Suppose we do all the things that nobody knows, but at some point people know. So if we do not want others to know, we do not do it, but when we do, we planted that seed and then it will never lose, when the coast is ripe, the result comes, we have to suffer. suffering. At that time, do not blame anyone for the situation or society to be like this and that, but it is because I create so I have to bear alone, no one to bear on my behalf. For the new sentence: " Bodhisattva fear of human beings, beings are afraid of fruit" One Buddhist said that he often lost furniture, money in the house despite the house is safe. He wanted to invite the monks to worship, but I said that the problem is not in worship but in the past life, he created the karma of theft, now he has to repent and do good deeds. He finished listening to books, discs of the Venerable, making bridges, building houses of gratitude, doing good deeds. Indeed, after a while there is no more theft. So one who knows the Dharma is worth hundreds, thousand times more people do not know the Dharma.

On one occasion, Lady Lily said that, for countless lives, she has never stolen anyone's belongings, so her belongings are not lost. Imperator Otas did not believe this, and one day, when the Benevolent Lady slept, the king sneaked into the room, withdrew the king's ring and gave it to the king. After she woke up, the king told her to take the ring, and within a day she would find out that she was guilty of an offense. She said that since she has never stolen anyone, so the ring came back to her. After the ring fell to the sea, a large fish found something beautifully iridescent and swallowed in the belly, then caught by a fisherman. He thought this fish was very large and beautiful, just for the king to eat and bring it to the king's chef. After the chef cut out the fish, he saw the ring, known as the queen, and returned it. From this we look back at ourselves, if we lose our possessions now, and lose this one, we know that we have stolen many of our old ones. So if you have created karma, when the coast of maturity, retribution, then we have to bear.

Buddhists remember the story of the Dharma Master Hien, he lived a hundred years old but the disease was low rainy night that he can not bear, so he decided to fast to death. When it is intended, then at night, he dreamed of the three Bodhisattvas Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva and Bodhisattva Manjushri Revealed said: " In the past, he used to is a monarch slaughtered countless people, must fall into hell, but today thanks to the virtue of spiritual practice, so now only a little sick. He demanded that this debt be paid to him? Please wait another two years, there will be a monk from China coming here to study Methodism. Teach him to transfer the karma, after death, will give birth to the heavenly Sun." The three finished talking away. Naturally later, Xuanzang from China to India was told by the Dharma Master Hien Hien, his seventy-year-old disciple, Giac Hien, to tell the story. lost.

So the Vice-Minister said:

Forefathers have a report

Today's economic life

Tempted by the scumbag

Move lightly for yourself .

The body before him has ever been murdered, robbery, sexual misconduct, doing evil things ... but today, thanks to four life expectancy Kim Cang business should be reduced. In the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha said: " This person should have fallen into hell, hungry ghosts, but the livelihood of the temporary business was scorned . We live in this life, if encountered difficult circumstances, people are curses, do not be sad, that is less than karma. Well-trained practitioners, when in adverse adversity, people return to thank the people who make themselves suffer because they have less karma and sublimation on the path.

If y is clear

Change is not born

Traditional Medicine Bat Nha

What is not a member.

Change is that we accept the law, accept the fall. Thanks to the bodhisattva manifestation we know that all dharmas are false, impermanent, transient, without essence, that is called y tha. By reflecting the nature of Bat Nha should become a Buddha Tanh.

In the Buddha, in terms of cause and effect, divide the fruit into three parts. One is the present, that is to create evil karma or good karma results in the fruit in this life. At the time of the Buddha, the husband and wife had only one pair of trousers, the husband had to go to the house every day, and the wife had to stay at home. One day, there is a congress offering Buddha, the couple thought in the past that they would not give donations, and have the heart of slurs so poor today, lack. So they decided to donate their only pants. During the offerings, good thoughts and evil thoughts fight but in the end they still decided to offer the pants even starved to death. That day, The Buddha observes the condition of the couple is maturing to stand up to receive the object and said that this material is thousands of times the car of the king, because they have the heart to complete its prod. This incident came to the ears of King Padai, after listening to, touched by the circumstances and the heart of the couple, the king sent one hundred pieces of cloth and rewarded a hundred pieces of land. Here, good results come out because these two people sow seeds into a piece of land with good soil, water, people care so the seed germination quickly. Ancient virtues said: Good results immediately because these two people have sown rice seeds into a piece of land has good water, there are caring people should seed germination quickly. Ancient virtues said: Good results immediately because these two people have sown rice seeds into a piece of land has good water, there are caring people should seed germination quickly. Ancient virtues said:

Spring seed sown

Thousands of rice harvest

People create good evil

The press is the same.

Xuan only sowed a grain of rice but did not know how much, but with the condition that the land must have land, water, someone to care for, that is to have a new virtue. I also sowed, but sowed on a piece of landless or without water, or without care, the seed can not germinate. I was born, met the Buddha, was offered a Buddha is not a mere story.

An elemental is an example, because doing a lot of good deeds should have a difficult time, he was poor. One day, his house only half a cans of rice to cook porridge, cooked a bowl of porridge finished by accident the Buddha and the Holy Passing. He still held the porridge bowl for the Buddha and decided to fast that day. At that time, the Buddha predicted that the bowl of porridge he offered to Tathagatas today as the Tathagatas while still carrying Bodhisattva Dharma offerings all over the country. As soon as he pledged to starve to make offerings to the Tathagata, Thich's throne was hot. Noble Princes send the Four Kings using the power of centralized concentration of all the undeveloped under the sea to bring back the gold of His Majesty. That is also an example of the present, by the present blessing that arises.

Or another example, during the Buddha's time there was a hunter who hated the monks. One day on the hunt, he encountered a rabbi who instigated this dog bite. He was afraid of climbing up the tree, lowering his legs, the hunter took the spear stabbed in the leg, the medicine of Sa Mara fell to his boss. The dogs saw, the idea of ​​dropping down the subject should go to tear the body always. That is the manifestation of evil karma.

Second is birth, meaning that this life we ​​create something that does not come out in this life, but the next life after another. So there are people who are very gentle, know how to take refuge in the Triple Gem, but do not know about the cause and effect of the Three Jewels, blame the Buddha, blameless Bodhisattva ... Therefore , in the Dhammapada, the Buddha taught:

The idiot is sweet

When the evil is not ripe

Cultivation is ripe

Sick people are suffering.

This is the life I do evil, but thanks to good karma in the past left over so I have not seen the consequences. After the blessing of the past, the instant the suffering will come. What about good people?

Good people are suffering,

Improper work is not ripe

Karma is ripe

Good man is happy.

When good fortune is ripe then I feel safe, happy.

Three is the posterior, that is, to create a human but not bear fruit that can be used to go through many generations later, as long as sufficient grace, ripening results, so also called karmic indefinite. In the "Three Jewels touch green," there is a baby dead parents, no one raised should go begging. While going begging, I met a venerable monk and was brought to the temple, morning afternoon specialize general pink roses. When he was sixteen, one day on the way down the stairs, he was hit by a pair of iron rods that blinded his eyes. After being blind, he was struck by lightning. When buried to the ground then the tombs were tombs at midnight, dig up to eat meat. People come to the question with the Venerable that this person has the fruit, the practice, the bell, and then also the karmic. The Venerable said, if this boy does not elaborately cultivate,

I give a simple example, in ancient, you Buddhist lack of that one million, when people claim for themselves, I have no money to pay. After that I made a good meal, became rich, he came to claim and now he not only paid the original but also paid interest always because he was rich. Also, for those who practice, when suffering, the opposite, they are considered as not. Like the Lion King, when King Xiongnu begs for the head, he said that four capital was not, five warm no, then the head of the head, said and put the neck to the cutting.  

Therefore, through these examples, you will find that the cause and effect will never disappear, even for those who have witnessed. The Buddha was also badly demanded by evil spirits, lovers (Devadatta shoveled blood to the legs), code vessels (eat barley of horses for three months), ... because in the past , The Buddha once sowed bad karmas to Devadatta so now ripe fruit emerged. However, the Buddha and the patriarch did not suffer. Like the old days, I have the power to curse, beat people. After I no longer have the power, now the people were cursed, beating up promotions, they remember to seek to collect debts, but fortunately now I know the Dharma and study When they came, they found themselves changed, so instead of beating them just cursing,

In the past, we have been involved in so many wrongs, so today we want to learn the virtue of being obedient, do not obey, do not be secure. We must be born ashamed, even repentance. The method of penitence is a very special method, only using penitent countries to wash away the bad karma in the past we create to stop it. We give alms, but also blessings, but those that only support conditions for cultivation, also want to end the karmic method of sincere repentance and meditation method to look back on this concept. For example, this day, this month, this year, the seeds of evil will arise, if we do not meditate, will commit to the police, religion, sex, hope ... But at that time, If you are meditating, The seeds of the evil also come out but because no scene should take what? For example, when I was meditating, I started taking meditation, and in front of me, I did not have a coin or something in my possession. If not meditated at that time, but in front of a bunch of dollars, it probably is. Then while sitting in meditation, people sit very calm, while the opposite, like sitting on the fire, uncomfortable, uncomfortable. I am paying back my karma, but I pay for it with my consciousness, so I'm going to change my career. restlessness I am paying back my karma, but I pay for it with my consciousness, so I'm going to change my career. restlessness I am paying back my karma, but I pay for it with my consciousness, so I'm going to change my career.

Or as the story of Bankei Japan. In his temple there is a petty petty petty friar. One day, he was arrested and handed over to Bankei, who insisted that the pagoda be forced to evict him. At this point, Master Bankei just said one sentence: " You guys are wise, have virtue so you go out to grow. If he was out in the world, then one is robbery, two is not the pagoda people do not receive, how to survive . After listening to the teacher, Bankei said, kneeling down crying and asking for repentance. Later, he became a famous Zen master of Japan. Therefore, it is a business transformation, not a fixed one. If we sincerely repent, diligent practice, heavy industry will turn into light industry.

2 / FOREIGN LANGUAGE OR

Masturbation or (or external disorder) is called karma. The sub-person does not have the good, the cowardly, the brain-centric, not secure. This is not a single excuse, all due to lack of power, or rudeness, or arrogance, or selfishness, or straight talk, or roughness, or power, or talent, or speaking. Evil or complacent, or lack of respect, or lack of respect, or lack of respect, or lack of patience. So do not believe that or chaos, the mind, mind moving, cover up the identity. Devotees need to lower down and back to raising the new moral from the pedophile. Afterlife must tolerate patiently, try to practice confidential.

The second is called karma, that is, people who do not like me, hate me should make brain disorder, make you not be safe. Sometimes we think it is because of past karma but looking back, in the present life we ​​have sow karma? Either because of lack of courage, or of ritual, or arrogance, of conceit, etc., what is more desirable than that of the minor? Or, as if the crowds were straightforward to the fault of the person, he would surely find a way to harm him; or rough; Or we take the power, such as in the temple itself to rely on the abbot power to find ways to harm others, later when there is no power to swell, all suffer the consequences; or show off; or speak evil words; or we praise others, others also try to harm themselves; or not reverent; or not wide enough that your mind is narrow, not tolerant; or lack of patience should not believe that or the monk, the devotees need to lower themselves lowered and back to feed the virtue, but often take a step back to power.

As the story of the painting on the wall of the Long Tiger Monastery. One day, some monks took pens drawing dragons and tigers fighting with each other, but drawing forever without the good. At this point, the monk said: " If you want to draw, you have to understand the characteristics of each species to show its strength, the dragon before the attack head back, the tiger wants to lean forward, the head must lower The closer the dragon is to the next, the stronger the tiger, the closer the tiger to the ground, the faster the ability to attack and jump up the higher . " After listening to the teachings of Master Thich Nhat Hanh, the monks drew up the picture of the soul of the painting. Human, Master Vô Đức said: "The Dao and the practice of the monks should be the same. , the more reflective, the higher the capacity to rise"

Looking back on yourself? People say a word, I say two hours, people say three hours, say four hours, the couple live together unhappily also. I keep saying that I'm wrong, everything is okay, bear back a step that won completely, it is a victory that only practitioners can see.

At that time the Zen master of the German poetry:

          Hand pliers transplanted into the field

          Bowing to see the sky in the water

          The pure mind is the direct

          The main step is moving forward.

The transplanted implant is backward, back a moment is the green plating um um, the head down when the sky is printed in water, the body is pure bar that is direct, reverse step is to move forward. So here say "the devotee should weak to lower himself down, back to feed the virtue." In the old temple in the North, the entrance to the hall is very low, when entering without careful, not low down is the head immediately. The reason here is that when looking to the direction, want to see the direction, want to meet the Buddha of self, then we have to lower ourselves.

The old monks often "silent as mute that lowered the moral," that is to say the mouth to nourish the virtue. People who say bad, but do not know so much hurt. In the three karmic, oral, Italian, the speech industry is very important. Often, control of the mind is the most important, but the initial means we must try to practice. Therefore, the old saying that: " Passenger as a jar, as well as the city, " which means to keep his mouth like a jar, water jars that will tilt the water will be cleaned up.

In the art of living there is a story, which implies saying that raising the virtue will have great achievements. In the past, there was a poor fishing guy, in the afternoon he went to the sea far, fishing how much he sold for living. Being too poor, even though he was older, he still did not get married because the ladies in the fishing village did not pay attention to him. Then he heard that there was a beautiful village girl, about twenty-eight, but no one dared to speak because she said so much, so much so that people around her headache always. He went to get married and her parents agreed. One day, he went to sea catch a beautiful goldfish, too sinister drop down. No wonder this fish is the son of King Long King. In return, Prince Siddhartha asked what he would help. He said his wife said too much, let her say a word, then a coin tossed out. Come home, He was startled in the house full of money, at sleep she said dreaming too money, so much that want to collapse the bed. Miserable, he again to the crown Prince of the Crown to reduce the money. He said, "Well, your wife says the best, the most meaningful thing is to throw a coin." From then on the money is no longer splashed. Later on, when his wife was about to die, she called her children to say something like this:Speaking of silver, gold is a little talk, not less talk but not saying useless things , she said finished thirty dollars gold coins. In our life the most meaningful words, words make others happy, happy is the word is valuable.

Ma afflictions are the obstacles. Obstacle if not except or mess up the practice. What is the  trouble ? What is the  brain ? Bother is chasing outside, the brain is born in the heart. Zen practitioners have to defile the defilements. Defilement is not clean, the determination is difficult.  Seeing the woman that is the center of mind is the heart problem. Seeing that killing is the center of mind is the evil mind. The object that is conscious mind is the mind of affliction. Seeing the suffering of the contemplating mind is the afflictive self. Seeing people lower than their own arrogant mind is self-afflicted. Adversity is the scene of anger is the center of affliction. Seeing the happy scene is happy depending on the affliction. Seeing the resentment of heart hate is anxiety afflictions. Seeing a loved one is a distressing mind . All that is seen outside the inside of the discharge is the nature of defilements, can not say to all. The meditator must take exception to the obstacle. Obstacle if not, do brain disorder. Why do not you learn the next life? "

" Bother is chasing the outside, the brain is born in the heart ", such as his see that people learn to pass that their children do not follow the discretion of their own inner thoughts of afflictions. It is the defilement of the external environment. We have learned the Buddha must know that all things have the cause, cause and effect of it. In the past I have created the time to go along that path, each person has different conditions. If we keep looking outside and then go outside and do not transform, then the whole day will be disturbed.

Let me tell you a story as an example. In the past, there was one woman who gave birth to twenty children, the first ten very beautiful, smart, who also look good, the next ten bad, who also do not look. One day, God came down to visit her, she believed or brought ten hidden children in the straw, fearing that if brought out, God rebukes. When God came to bless each one, said the first child grew up king, then other children are the gods, engineers, doctors ... Mom thought: "These ten children are children, The last ten children are children, not bring to God always bless . As soon as he saw this, God told the boy to work in the field, the other cow, the bricklayer, the garbage boy ... The mother was shocked: " Ten children are children, the next ten children Your child, why God has stigma?" God said, " If two dozen children are king, then who made the rice to eat it, who built it in ... " Through this story you see the Buddhist who does not want his children after This is good, but engineers, doctors, but due to the karmic, the charm of the past that each person will go a different way, no one like everyone. I know that "the grace of the old industry, innocent in the dress shirt . Depending on the past, but do not add new career, innocent in the dress, in life in life.

"Zen practitioners must be suffering defilements. Defilement is not clean except the difficult to present, that is, if the day we neglected to ensure that practice never progress. But to ask the truth, is the affliction, the suffering is my? Assuming now that we are afflicted, who is this affliction? If it is my own, it must be with me, morning affliction, no defilement, dark afflictions, day by day affliction. And here, morning negativity, but no end, such as frustrating, arguing with her husband that the phone said to send a large amount of money? Are you angry or happy? So, to see this sorrow is not mine.

In the meditation, a layman told Bankei that he was very angry and asked the Zen master to teach him how to finish the course. The master said: " Please bring the anger, get up here, I will have medicine ." He answered, " I do not have a yard right now ." The teacher asked: " So when you new yard? " He said: " Only when you go home, meet new wife to the yard ." The teacher told him to go home, when the court will bring the yard right here, he will rule. When he came home, meeting his grumbling wife, he rushed to the courtyard, remembering Bankei's words, and immediately ran to him. But it is strange that when he arrived he was out of the yard. At this point, Mr. Bankei said: " His parents gave birth to him only Buddha" Singers finished listening.

Here we see clearly, if the yard is his own, then at home also yard, to the temple also, meet the same yard that meet the other yard, also here to meet his new wife yard, also to the temple Meet the teacher is finished. Obviously this yard is not mine. So what knows the yard and what does the yard know? The knowing is the knowing and the known is the known but we assimilate. In this moment of reality, the known and the known are simultaneously present. For example, I pinch my hands, I know pain, when released, it is out of pain. So what knows pain and pain? As this knowledge, is Buddhist mind, but we always identify the greed that is, the yard itself, the si itself. So in the Sutra, the Buddha said: " Mind involved in greed, mind, heart, mind, jealousy, mind jealousy..... Knowing that we are not led away so negativity, at the moment of determining the money, Buddhist practice is simply that. Long or short is by yourself.

The Buddha resurrected, if you do not eat, you can not live, the car without gas is not running. Likewise, if we do not bathe, we do not irritate, but at some time it is gone. But I do not bear that, but always watered. For example, forget the key that can not find out and get frustrated, the road is jammed car is upset ..., every day when the wrong things, we do not find ways to irrigate the seeds, seed defilement. At some point, these seeds grow, grow stronger when leaving this life, it will lead me to the scene of evil. What I also ignore, what is also forgive all I do not watered again. Like the story of an old Thai woman in Thailand, she came to see a Zen master complaining that she was very difficult to progress. The teacher taught her to just remember and practice the words "Whatever it is". After leaving, she practiced that way. No matter what happens, happy or sad she also "Ignore it", put everything aside. One day, when she was frying fish, because she was going to the koan, she ignored the fish on the blackened pan, and the husband exclaimed, "No matter what," she said. direct.

We are so many things so negativity is always growing, if not clean up negativity, determination is difficult. We see in them, the more people, the more difficult it is. What's my friend is also in the story, but my own story does not know. So troubles are difficult except by yourself. Chinese people have the sentence: " Snow in front of the door has never swept, and fog over the roof of people ", meaning that his house down thick snow without sweeping, do not move, worrying about a few drops of dew in the roof of others. So people know very little then. In them, who says anything, say, I keep ignoring, what I do, then I do.

" Seeing the woman who is the center of the mind is defilement , " that is, the opposite sex that initiates the concept of sexual intercourse, it is profoundly unhappy. " Seeing the killing of the mind is the evil mind of affliction,"  such as seeing the animal or someone killed, the harm that the mind starts to enjoy, it is evil mind disturbance. " See the benefits that the mind is the heart thief defilement ," such as coming to the house or people to see people count the money much, then just start thinking it is the mind of the afflicted. " Seeing things that are centered mind is afflicted ", such as people find a beautiful house, have a car, I also coveted desire, go home can not sleep, that is attachment, mind is burglary brain. "Seeing people suffering suffering contempt is the general afflictions , "that is, people are poor, despise despise, do not know that contempt is that they are evil thoughts, his virtue is hurt. That is the generals afflictions. " Seeing people lower than their own arrogant mind is a great affliction. Adversity is the scene of anger is the center of affliction. Seeing the happy scene is depending on happy affliction, "  joy is also a form of affliction, because in joy it has the seeds of suffering . "Seeing the resentment of heart hate is anxiety afflictions" See what the grief is? For example, if you have a sister, your brother is helping them wholeheartedly that they are back against him, saying bad things, if you resentment, you hate it is raising concern. I must see that person is also a being. Brothers, spouses, children are all beings. Let 's go to the vow: " Serving beings are offerings to the Buddhas ", the immediate end of affliction. There are many Buddhists who say, " I have helped my brother and sister with all my heart, there is nothing to help them come back to speak evil of me." I say it is my blessing, so my karma is less, because in my countless lives I do not know if my heart is hated, when death will not be released.

          4 / MAINTAINMENT

Ghost called the reason. If you do not, then do not disturb or deliberate. What is the problem?

Because we know that we are enlightened, know we know meditation, know we know clearly, know the truth, know we learn a lot, know we know a lot, know that we are serious, know we are destined, know we know I do not know, I know myself.

We are attached to the point where the meditation will be meditated in meditation. We say that we are enlightened, or have been clear about meditation, in education, this is the reason. Why? Because in the moment when you attach yourself to the meditation or the spear, or the physics in which the hidden seeds of affliction hide in the conscious. It is that when we accept self, we find ourselves in the world, what we know, find ourselves in the world to be serious, and other people do not maintain the world. For example, we live in the mass, we see what we are serious, we can learn, cultivate, meditate, either fully present in the classroom, or the morality, then I see myself more than anyone else, at that time I was growing up. When the growth collapse, the reason is present,

At the time of the Buddha, or in the time of the Patriarchs, they also often appear to learn more, often know much more slowly than those who learn less, learn more, understand more or be egotistical, find themselves others. For example, the Sixteenth Patriarchate of the Tang Dynasty was a literate person. Here is not to abandon learning, but when we understand this spirit, we still learn, still tu, still precepts, still meditate, but we all let go. We must learn to let go, must also let go of the discharge, to be serious about letting go, but do not find yourself keep the precepts are pure, while others are breaking the world, breaking the world, if so the ego, the ego, the mind enters the mind.

There is a story: A person is a layman, but he knows about the teachings and all the disciplines. From that understanding he despised the monks practicing not seriously or not as much as he. One day, he was sitting upstairs and threaded, when he opened his eyes to see two rows of Bodhisattvas invited him to the Dharma. After seeing that, he was very happy and thought that he had succeeded so he stepped down to the meditation bed to go to the court. While on the go, preparing to go to court, he was dropped down the stairs and from there bed. Through this event, we see that although many learn, know more but if you do not know tu, do not know how to transform, let go of self is also a big disease. This disease in today's era many people are stumbled. The trunk is called Luc O " still falls"," Falling corn "is to see yourself, this is the obstacle that we have not broken down. It is also called " know I do not know, I know myself, know that I do not know, I know much, know much ". Remember that we learn to take it as a progressive path on the path of enlightenment, not to learn and accept it. It is sick, not what you get.

Another story in Zen. There is a doctor on the way home by sea. After settling on the boat, he came to know the captain and asked:

- You are a sailor, so you have studied astronomy yet?

- I am not study yet.

- You do not learn astronomy without studying astronomy, it is like losing a third of life.

Going forward, he asked the captain:

- Did the boatman learn astrology (looking at the stars)?

- I am not study yet.

- So you lost another third of life again.

Adding a line, he asked,

- Have you ever studied oceanography?

- I am not study yet.

- So you died half life.

Suddenly the big waves surfaced, the captain asked his schoolmate:

- Have you studied swimming lessons?

- What is swimming? I am not study yet.

At this time the captain said:

- So he died a lifetime ago.

Why is life dead? Big storm, the boat is easy to sink, at this time everyone will swim, if not swim, then drowned under the sea. Although many subjects such as astrology, astronomy, oceanography ... are not available at this time. Through this story, we see that although many learn, understand much without resolving the attachment to this learning, it will certainly be bogey or called reason. If we see what we are good at, we must be careful, if not careful one day we will fall.

" Knowing that we are divine, knowing that we are able to know the color, know that we have witnessed, know that we have become Buddhists, thousands of things that call it the cause. Lee if not except the law, do not forget, France do not forget that the heart does not appear. The meditator must definitely eliminate the reason. "

In the spirit of cultivation, we must know how to transform. All that we learn in meditation, keeping the world ..., we all let go, do not stick do not mind the money. This is simple, not too difficult, which means we do all the good deeds, cultivate all the good deed but only one word. What is that? Let go of all the dharma. No matter what method, we must also let go of all the new feet and feet.

5 / MA TAO

The wrong view is clinging. Obedience not to fall, to fall into the evil. What is the wrong view?

Tainted nature is not accepting, accepting that accept is agree (ie see), accepting nature is not (empty), call the acceptance is not opinion (accept). Capital is not dead, call the adoption is commonplace. Follow the gas that kill, call the attachment is the ant segment. Abstinence from not being born there is a natural ant. Taken from the gas (vapor) turned out to be a bad image. All evil, wrong view, natural, natural ... do not leave, not, usually, two, self-management to fall into the road. The meditator must know this place.

" Tainted nature, called the attachment is the bias (accept) . As long as you have the attachment in the nature of being immortal is not falling into the yes. So, in the time of the Buddha, there were ninety-six pagans, sixty-two with no attachment and no attachment. In contrast, the spirit of the Buddha is a yes and no. Zen practitioners need to study the Dharma of the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng. There is a monk to ask the Sixth Patriarch: " Buddha nature is often or impermanent? "The Sixth Patriarch insisted," Impermanence", Because he accepts the nature of the Luc Truong. What they are, the buddhas, all the parents are destroyed, do not let yourself attached. As long as we accept it, it has a disease in it, so it has to be there and not. Thus, this is called the Middle Way, the first meaning that the Bodhisattva Nagarjuna Express.

"Mortgage is not dead, call the attachment is normal (accept)". According to the spirit of Brahmanism in the Vedas, if one studies through it can be very similar to the spirit of meditation spear, also talk about the usual in the mind or the mind at the same as the Zen, but they relying on the ordinary place, where the immortal, in this attachment is the self, from their sub-self, after death will collude into the great self of God, which god is common now, everlasting immortality. On the contrary, the Buddha taught that the immortal being is to receive the mind, ie, there is a common will known, which is completely different from the idea of ​​Brahmanism.

"All evil, wrong view, grace, natural ... do not leave, not, usually, two, self-management to fall into the road. The meditator must know this enlightenment. "  That is to accept what is attached. When we accept, at all, all fall into the dualistic dualism, this is not the place of freedom, the immortal that the Buddha wanted only. If you accept that wherever you are, no matter where you are, it is still sick. Everywhere immortal of the Buddha is clear all known that the heart of the immovable. Therefore, in the spirit of the Zen, at this stage is to let go of all but still clearly know. So when the Hui can submit to Bodhidharma: " Today I am out of grace ." Bodhidharma said, " Look no further", That is the end of the coast is not accepted. But Hui Fei reaffirmed: " Obviously often know, say can not come ." This place requires elaborate, experienced to be clear.

          6 / MA MAJOR:

Meaning is called self-induced. Self or not, the birth is not stop, crazy dissipation, obscuring the mind. The meditator needs to make this hollow empty. To point out one of two things to clarify the expectations such as: hope, enlightenment, expectation, hope, hope, ideas, thoughts, thoughts, thoughts on The expectation, the hope of the Buddha, the hope of the Buddha ... .. The expectations are not, the concept of the contrary to the feet. New beginner education must be the root cause.

All these delusions are all sick, that is called ghost hope. There are many people who sit in meditation but do not stay in the silence that often know, but they think about the past, about the future, where to go, what to do, want to witness, is misleading. If we do not break, not flat, there is a moment that delusional thoughts penetrate, so there are people who only babble all day without knowing where in themselves. This is called greediness. If we do not learn, we will be very attached.

7 / MA EXPORT:

It is called panic. If you do not hesitate to say the words mouthful of mindfulness meditation, not mind. Where do you get so many errors? Pretending hypnosis magic says, teaching the sutras, boasting that have been enlightened, disparaging other people ignorance. Comment on the subject of the people, say the right, the stirring of the people, soaking the poem, open mouth to discuss, discuss the past and present, talk about the country, This is a good man evil, not related to my neck, but to debate the story of the loss of the galaxy. An exclamation of praise, said the scene of the birth of love, said the grievances make people angry . Behind the back, compliments in front, all the words say harm people forget mindfulness. Meditators need to be careful to maintain, not only the words of virtue but the mind does not disturb. Beginners need to be careful and abstain from this.

"It is called barbecue. If you do not hesitate to say the words, but the mind is confused, not focused mind. All these diseases are the diseases of sentient beings, including the renouncers and the lay people. For example, during the same mass chanting or eating, body, mouth, mind we are solemn, but just finish the ceremony or finish the meal is the whine where the sound. This is a mercurial vow, a very good practice, especially for the spiritual practitioner. We sit alone, nothing, often less to create karma, but only one, two people only initially talk about Buddhism, then the story will not know where to go. All the stories do not understand from where I remember, meet this person, meet the other, my mouth began to say, do not say can not bear, this is the mastermind is to make the mind offensive. So say:If you do not hesitate to say the words, but the mind is confused, not focused mind .

Buddhists in the life of life is often husband, and children, and family should be forced to say, must do. When I was in the monastery, want to practice progress, say as little as possible, then I only fulfill my obligations, the remaining unrelated to me is not attached, because Have the abbot or you have the responsibility already say. Monks, nuns in them if only know how to cultivate will progress very advanced. In the past when I was in them, I used the method "Whatever it is", that is assigned what to do it, in addition to what to do, what to say nothing. I do not have to wear anything but I have no responsibility to manage so it is best not to say much, preserve speech, only a single line is tu. Thus a guarantee of three to ten years is progress. When the practice has been basically the latter, Enough where you go, wherever it is easy to adapt but still cultivate. If you do not know what to do, what you say is then called psychosis, which mind is not focused, when the death will be blind, easy to mislead.

" Where do you go wrong? Pretending hypnosis magic says, teaching the sutras, boasting that have been enlightened, denigrated others are ignorant.  This place, the monk more sick than lay people. Why? Because we do not see ourselves, we talk about the magic, we boast, then others are ignorant, ignorant ... When the mouth began to operate, it is then we are sowing the speech, which If you do not subtract the growth, then you will see the "lower non-Nhon", which means that under his eyes there is no one, see the sky with pepper, then the disease is already heavy.

" Talk about the field of human resources, say the right, the stir of people, " such as saying he has such bad things and other, meet me will be different ... but that is not my thing. . I do not know what the man has done what naturally said so the blame and the graphics and the body.

" Soak the poet, open mouth mouth, comment on the ancient story, the story of the country, the old man is good fool, now the evil good man, not related to my work, but neck to the picture. The story is lost of the galaxy . At the time of the Buddha, the Bhikkhu group was the one who specialized in discussing the affairs of the country, politics, everything. The Buddha rebukes and teaches them not to relate to monks, they only have the path to practice transformation. Today's practitioners often suffer from these errors, so if meditators meditate carefully to avoid the practice of their own.

" Excuse me, say the scenes that cause people to love, say grievances make people angry . Behind the back, compliments in front, all the words say harm people forget mindfulness.  Meditators need to be careful to maintain, not only the words of virtue but the mind does not disturb. The monk needs to be careful and abstain from this. "  

There are many people when others do good things in front of them always praised, but behind him is detested people do not mind, doing for the sake of the benefit ... The praise in front of that is behind the disease is often seen beings

You pay attention to why we retreat to progress than outside? Because in that I only have one door is intentional only, and the other five are close all the rest, but only need to close the tongue, that is to keep the sentence is considered to have won a half, So fast progress. I notice if every day I talk all the evening sitting meditation can not stand because his mind is not up. The body of the election, the mouth is also the will of the election. Moreover, when I save money is also the time when I raised my virtue, the less people say as long as the progress of that. So the Patriarchs said, " You should put your mouth on the mussel, on the mold like a winter fan " or " You seal the hole again, do not let it slip away." The ancient practice always occlude mouth, keep the speech so fast forward, but now not only do not clutter but also want to make the mouth wide to tell big, for many. Buddhists see, just two people, one talker and one talker, the less talker is always stronger. Rarer is usually not deep, just say two or three words are known how thoroughly elaborate how, where, and people often keep their mouth, "silent like thunder" the mind Very deep, difficult to guess. So here, "say little words to feed the virtue, do not mind."

8 / MAJOR DISEASES

Ma suffering suffering called suffering. Many illnesses are due to previous career karma, or due to the loss of harmony that changes the disease, making people learn the obstacle, not the life of Dharma. Here are some essential things to take care of yourself: regulate the taste, moderation and choose food, less passionate smell, hot and cold life. When hungry to read recitations, do not burden heavy burden. After eating eat sleep, dark meal.

People like to eat rotten, fried fried foods, like to eat five, use many things. Replace the meditation in the wet earth, sleep in the wind, sweating in the bath, in the sunshine, but prefer to use cold, at the wind bath, lying outside under the mist. Too many cases, too hungry, too happy, angry, too hot, too cold, heavy rain dew, many internal psychic diseases, all due to errors do not know air conditioning should be sick, Makes the body unstable. The poster must know that defense .

Here we say that we practice the disease will not be. Often when the body is sick, we blame the previous life is due to killings, many things so this life sick. That is true but not complete, not exactly accurate, because if in this life, if we do not smart, do not know how to regulate the trouble is also easy to cause birth defects. He mentioned some examples, such as eating too much tastes, living things, cold stuff, or starving, when he was not working hard ... Also, like to eat corrupt stuff (like chao), like eating The smell of thum may cause liver disease ..., then eat fried stir fry more when sitting meditation will feel uncomfortable. The five things such as onions, shallots, garlic, compressed, in the Surangama Buddha said, if eat raw, the birth of the yard that eating ripe, childbirth, make themselves excited, do not have the right concentration. Concluding meditation where the soil is moist, sleeping in the wind, sweating in the shower, at the wind that wash, too hungry too, too happy too angry, too hot too cold, heavy rain dew, ... all due to loss of control should be born sick things, make the body is not rest. So postmenopausal we need to know that prevention and disease prevention so that the practice is not obstructed. 

9 / MAINTENANCE:

The low-lying call is called the (to sleep on sleep). The chen is not practice, minus too heavy, the heart is not bright, the Tanh not arise, fall into the dark of dark mountains and demon. What is the cause of dowry disease?

Here the Patriarchs want to teach us, meditation without crossing the knot, to leave the star is okay, it is a big disease, many people have just heard the meditation was sitting at the "Buddhist ceremony " We have to know how to deal with depression. In the past we were also as low as the Buddhist, so later discovered by working too much and eating again in the afternoon, but eating meditation is sinking, sinking. You try to eat the afternoon even if you sit in meditation for only a moment is sinking, sleeping down. Therefore, if you do not eat in the evening, you can meditate comfortably and calmly. The first time is slightly annoyed by the hungry harassment but long will get used to it. We often go to work busy Buddha, if too late to eat the boy does not eat, but do not see drowning, tired, Just one evening or two in the morning, it is difficult to meditate for one or two hours without sleep. Actually, the food we eat is only lower, and the upper one can use the gas to nourish this body. Just meditate to help enlightenment that first, just meditate properly, inhale deeply and gentle breathing, as well Yoga as good air to nourish the body, should eat less and still healthy, less sick. If we eat a lot in the afternoon, especially frying fried frying is not smart that is the cause leading to deep depression, evening sitting meditation will be very sleepy. Just meditate to help enlightenment that first, just meditate properly, inhale deeply and gentle breathing, as well Yoga as good air to nourish the body, should eat less and still healthy, less sick. If we eat a lot in the afternoon, especially frying fried frying is not smart that is the cause leading to deep depression, evening sitting meditation will be very sleepy. Just meditate to help enlightenment that first, just meditate properly, inhale deeply and gentle breathing, as well Yoga as good air to nourish the body, should eat less and still healthy, less sick. If we eat a lot in the afternoon, especially frying fried frying is not smart that is the cause leading to deep depression, evening sitting meditation will be very sleepy.

"This marriage is largely due to eating a lot, taking many good tastes, talking a lot of gas, rattlesnake, mental silence, poison gas chaos, dense angry, lazy lonely, Do not think of birth and death, just take care. The posterity when using the work should be diligent: Bring the meat pointer, head for touching the pillars, the Buddha burned the lights, standing in danger, walking business, suffering cherishing the new light sleep.

We notice, too angry is the cause of the kiss. " Bring the meat pointer " is the word Tu Minh, He was very heavy kisses, so when he fell asleep, he used the iron sticks to flesh meat to sleep. For head to touch the pillar, that is to place the wooden pole in front, every fall asleep, hit the tree back to sober. Sitting meditation a two hours that sleep four, five dozen minutes as if you lose, falling into the sleeping ma, insight knowledge does not arise.

"If it is not like that, but sleep sleep is not bright mind. The meditator should be brave enough to dress the sleeping ma.

10 / Dai Thien Mai:

Dai Thien Ma is not the same with the above. Because of right practice, the proof of the result, the crystal was smooth, quiet silent so that scare to the ghost and demon spirits are horrified, their palace collapsed, the land vibration. Mad ghosts, monsters in the trees, in the rock also panic.

When a newly born mind is left home, the ghost palace shock. Here we must understand a deeper. That is, when we are not ordained, we live in a family with parents, wives, children, homes, material well, anyway we still have the enjoyment and freedom in everyday life. Now that we want to put aside to embrace the path of cultivation, it is not an imaginary path that has clear boundaries. Normally people say: " Life and religion are not different", That is to say about middle school, ie middle school, the first means to admire photography, but with beginner practitioners step foot into the path, the middle and the far away completely. For example, in the real world we can 8 hours wake up but in the 3 hours required to wake up. Before we are sad can go to karaoke, discotheque, pubs to relax but leave home then must be clear but not like life outside. At this moment in the mind, good and evil struggle is very intense. As in the old days when I first released the mind of the monk, I also have to nourish the mind of his ordained in three years school, in that period of thought has a lot of interwoven, fight. In the end, the good wins and I go to the monastery, whichever side wins, I will go that way.

"The land of vibration, the terrible ghost, the monsters in the trees, the rock also panic. All spirits have collusion to the brain, not allowing people to enter the Holy Spirit. They turn out strange things, turns out the scene to meditate meditation of the cultivator .

The problem is that those who cultivate in the mountains or in the voracious are often encountered. During the forty days and nights of meditation, the emperor appeared constantly but could not do anything about the Buddha. In the end, the three daughters are the daughters of Mara show three beautiful women in the heaven of Tha Hoa Tu, Beauty is no one match. According to the Mahayana sutras analysis, the demon appears to want to destroy the monk, causing them to be trapped in the scene. Renowned people have family, wife and children, when the tu in the family will see the family scene. As in a sutra there is a monk breaking the precepts with a mortal horse because in his eyes, it is a goddess, not a dead horse. In the stage of preparation for the path of the Holy Spirit, the first sexual apparition appears to be his wife or the person he once loved. For those who have left home since then, they have seen beautiful girls. These are the evil seeds of evil evil hidden in the consciousness that now their wisdom light up, the more clearly these seeds. There are monks on the mountain very confidential, but to the period of peace of mind, wisdom to promote, the scene reappears and they broke the world, there are cases of transgender is very weird that he can not understand. Therefore, want to retreat, the surrounding must have mass encirclement, or have to see the nature of the new force to support, if not, when the scene is not showing up. This way is like a double-edged sword, if you win the great wisdom arise, if you do not control it, then immediately fall into the net.

".... a lot of strange monsters, turned out to be the scene to meditate meditation of the cultivator. A person who cultivates the mind if he or she is born, or who is free, has the advantage, but the practitioner is harmed. "  That is when the scene, I like or angry are attached. But at this time, just use Bat Nha wisdom to see the time, this ghost will quiet. In the Surangama Sutra, the Buddha taught himself to be like fire, while ghosts like moths, head to death.

" Idiotic madness, said to have become a Buddha. When living in harmony with the king, at the moment of death, he falls into the wilderness. "  There are people who claim to be Buddhas, the first, the first to commit a prostitution, then to the king, When you die, you will fall into hell.

" The meditator is clear mindful mind, the mind shines, the heart does not move, the mind does not hear, we do not hear, Next-generation practitioners must be careful and distinguish themselves clearly for this. " In the meditation record, Zen master Dao, sitting meditation in the mountains, ghost scenes show up. All Rising them fled, and he was calmly sit still, then ghosts back and forth. People ask why he won, he said that he only use a word "no", that is, just not in the dhamma is to spend it. So we have to practice smart, otherwise we will be disturbed ghost. There are people who are peaceful in them naturally want to go out self-tuition, just out there are people to the right home, the increase is mostly female household, but the household is male. This is the work of many unjustified moral life so it falls on that person. At that time we should know this is the ghost it, need to be careful. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.1/11/2017.
