3. The second largest vow

THE SECOND SECONDS

"I wish to live later, when the Bodhicitta, our body as glass jade, in addition to clear, pure completely without any defilement. Bright lights bright all over, high virtue tap and stay between each mesh weave with light, more visible than the moon. Being born in the realm of illusion by the light that the mind is open and where you want to go to do any career is.

The Buddha preached the Mahayana sutras to the purpose of helping sentient beings enlightenment Buddha. Therefore the Mahayana sutras we have to strip all to see the meaning of the Buddha, but not smart will be conducive, many times when we do not understand the misunderstandings, is handicapped. The Buddha once said: " According to me, do not understand me that is defamation me"I follow the Buddha without understanding the meaning of the Buddha's teachings, which also means defaming him. Or they say the Mahayana sutras such as eye catching, if not wise, eyes closed, ie the teachings of the Buddha in the Mahayana scriptures that he preached not smart, do not convey all the meaning makes beings are guilty, the guilty people are guilty of more serious than the Chilean slaughter-slaughter, slaughter. Because all the words of the Buddha in the scriptures are confidential, if not cultivate, study the wrong way that will make a whole generation of false, misleading. So here we would like to explain clearly to you how the meditator's spirit is scattered throughout the Mahayana sutras.

 "I wish later life, when directed by Bodhi, our body as glass jade, in the clear, pure completely without a bit of dirty ...".

Let us not be confused that this is only the great vows of the Medicine Buddha, who must understand that this is also a great vow in every one of us. Sixth Teachings: " No idea micro, no micro-micro, invisible micro ," if on the notion that we do not follow the concept, not thought led, then it is like jade save the glass in the outside insight. As for the generals we do not lie in, we are on the same path with the Medicine Buddha.

There is a story recorded in the Zen: One day the monk is chanting the Kim Cang, to the " Revisitors of the General of the Free Radical As Lai " then Zen Master Hui Tong Zao accidentally passing by, When he heard, he said,

- He is wrong, Buddha Kim Cang Buddha does not say that.

Climbing hands:

- Dear Sir, this business I have read hundreds of times, but in the Buddhist scripture teaches very clearly: " Revisitors of generals without the Prime Minister as Lai"  (If you see the generals, ). Where are you wrong?

Master Dai Hue said:

- I have read many times, the Buddha taught the bhikkhu is " The opinion of generals general opinion of the Tathagata " (If you see the generals are prime minister, see Tathagata).

Rising said:

- You read wrong, "not general" rather than "general".

At this time, Master Dai Hue said:

- Buddhist scriptures say, the blind people no one recited read.

Through the story of the monk and Master Dai Hue, what do you see? When reading the sutras or passages like this, many years later, after spending a certain amount of time practicing, one has to go back to read the broken and understand the good points. I do not know how long it will take me two days to get it. There are many people see a business that is too high, such as the Mahaparinirvana, Nirvana Sutra, Business Mausoleum ... so read not ignore. It is true that now I do not understand, can not comprehend, but to look back and forth, one year, two years later, even years after depending on the effort of his that can penetrate. Say so not to get discouraged, but try harder, because sometimes the Buddha says this sutra is for the university, while we are first grade, Second class is not understand is normal. I have to study, just practice, just experience the new penetration of the Buddha's business. Master Dai Hue Tong Zao said that if the generals are general, for example see the clock is the clock, that is, the Tathagata, if the general is not the general is through reflection, but through the shop the power is still, and the department. Facility has not died, the guest has not yet reached the "not formatted". As for "the headless as the root", that is if for the dhamma we do not hold, not attached, not attached, that is the root of the cult. To be like that, we are the same as the "body like the glass jade, in addition to wisdom" of the Medicine Buddha. Body of the Buddha in the clear, also we in the outside is not clear? Yes. Although I was not quite like Buddha, but I was on each of the thoughts. For example, outside the mouth say good in the heart is not good, the outside is not clear, while his mouth says "Buddha" and in his mind also the Buddha in the same. So the Sixth Patriarch said:Mouth speaking good but in the mind is not good, there is no wisdom, mouth speak good but in the heart of good faith equality .

Near Bankei's monastery, there was a blind man who was born blind. He had the special ability to listen to other people when they talked. He could know that he was suffering, happy, or selfish. , jealousy together. " I have been living here for more than forty years, but I have never heard anyone talk like that," said Bankei. People come to bless each other wealthy, happy but in the heart there is always jealousy, selfish. On the contrary, Bankei is happy with the joy of others, sad with the sadness of others, in the same" So I practice here on every concept. Resume right in your own, if ever meet with a friend who studied the old house difficult but now the house is high, the door is wide although we have congratulations, the mouth is smiling, in the heart there is torment, jitter. Know that then we have to transfer to the equality of insight, out of uniform.

In the Sutra, the Buddha said: " O bhikkhus, there are four kinds of people in this world. The first one is outside live nine. O bhikkhus, the second person is outside living in nine. O bhikkhus, the third person is outside living in life. O Bhikkhus, the fourth person is beyond nine in nine . "

The first person, in addition to the nine in life, is the only people outside the idea that the Buddha should live peacefully, not worried but intrinsic inside is not. The second person, in addition to living in the nine, is the only people outside the living without the posture, the rules, the crude speech is not removed as the Buddha taught, but inside is the level of wisdom, for example as Te Cong in the Northern Song. The third person, in addition to living in, is the only outside people have no rules, the inside is not the direct. The fourth person, in addition to nine in nine, is the only person in the clear. In the four categories of people who deserve to keep the guardian of the Tathagata? That is the fourth person, in addition to nine in nine. In the story "Escape the vicious cycle" of Master Tinh Van writes about two brothers, His brother is Ngoc Lam and his brother is Ngoc Lam. Ngoc LaâAlthough the Bodhisattva, but like the second class, that is outside the living, inside the nine, so although the director but then outside the majesty is not like the Buddha should teach, the beings are not wide. Ngoc Lam is like the fourth person should do the National Teacher, the degree is a lot of people. At this time, whether the monk or layman must also try to get as the fourth class, although not as Buddhist, as the team but we also avoid the prejudice of others. For example, to go to a monastery where we do not study hard, only to find the year, the seven talk about the market, people find themselves without the transformation will be questioned, so we have to self-review again.

Then came the sentence: " clean completely without a bit of dirty ". He said, " You have a bad idea that is raised as if put into the heart . So when we go to the toilet, before going to the toilet read the verse:

When urinating

May all beings

Abandon greed, anger, delusion

Remove the evil.

For such a period of time, natural wisdom arises. Beings here are beings in the heart, to stop greed, hatred, si. Straightening out when I eat rice, bread, porridge ..., brought in is very clean, but when his body is dirty? At the same time, I thoroughly contemplate the impurities such as greed, the yard, the si and then I leave it, clear the evil.

The Medicine Buddha Luu Ly Quang Vuong again volunteered:

"... Bright light shining everywhere, high virtue hissing and staying between each mesh weave with light, more visible than the moon. Being born in the realm of illusion by the light that the mind is open and where you want to go to do any career is.

This is through meticulous. After the Buddha attained bodhi fruit, then his body radiates the aura around him. Now science with specialized equipment has proven that great spiritual practitioners around the halo are great. So when the monks have a great virtue to declare to those who are about to lose, the soon-to-lose feeling of peace, happiness, cool death should be escaped. Those who go to the mind, the mind must be pure, as long as the pain, spread the heart to the person who is about to lose, then they can feel their light but happily on the road, They are dying dead immediately. The Buddha returned to the city of Calvary, Rahula next to the Buddha said: " White Master, I go next to him is cool" That is because the compassionate light of the Buddha covers all around. There was a bird hunted by the hunters, flying to hide under the lapel robes of Shakyamuni Shakyamuni still trembling, but when flying to the Buddha's place, the run out. Venerable Shakyamuni Buddha saw the question. The Buddha said: " Although he has attained the arahant, but the temperament of the past is still left a little bit so the bird can still feel. I have cleaned up all, this bird feels my light source should be safe, happy" You see, in fact, those who work in the trade of buffalos, cows, dogs ... at the beginning of the village, these animals bark loudly, or an ordinary person anger is always scowling, tired, It is different from the face of those who love compassion. Just as I am, going through a salmon shop feels different and when I go to a vegetarian food store feel the other. So the light shines all over, each net of weaving netting radiates light, even to the pores of the Buddha also radiates aura. This light is the light Bat Nha, the wisdom of Bat Nha, want to get this light, we have to recite daily Bat Nha, Bat Nha and then Bat Nha.

Hence, the Zen Master teaches:

" Lower practitioners meditate completely on enlightenment. Need to know a phobia a mind that is a Buddhist thought, a concept of a mind that is a thought is a phàm phu . Because the mind is the Buddha, the Buddha is the sense. The Buddha with ordinary life only in the same sense only . To give light to all over, we must lay down the practice of meditation completely at the point of enlightenment, which means that a recollection of the yard has just started us to know immediately, just door is the touch of rice, We must return to our self-nature.

"The mind is the Buddha is the Buddha. Enlightenment or opening the door, or pass through the sea of ​​three A-rays" Just in that moment, I have opened the door of generosity, morality, patience, diligence, meditation, wisdom. For example, when sitting in meditation, a mosquito is injected. At that time, if you do not sense it, it will kill it. So at the moment of generosity without damaging it, there is the precepts, it prickles the pain but still withstand and sit still have the patience. Trying to sit for hours without exhausting, then it is diligent, but diligent with meditation and wisdom next door. What is perceiving each and every thought that we have in mind is that the genie opens the door. So there is no need to have new money, there are also green.

"Throughout the benefits like sand, flourishing blessings, six gods, rounded fruit in a lifetime. The suffering in hell, the cauldron of boiling oil, the glacier, the sense of instant turn into forest fragrant, drink boiling water, swallow the hot iron, hear the sense of being all Pure Land.

While practicing the Gurus are generosity, morality, patience, diligence, meditation and wisdom, then at that very benefit. For example, while cooking for the mass, the body of the net is very good blessing but if not careful, the disaster is very large, as in cooking, the body is not clean mind, hands dirty eat only one or two water only if you are hurt a lot. So every day we have to always practice, because there are times when not fully aware of, so we commit the rules in the Buddha that he was supposed to have to go to hell because of the mind. not clear, glaciers and cauldron of boiling oil such as greed, anger, si, but thanks to the sense should be Pure Land.

In the Sutra tells a story: There is an old woman offering a tiara to a monk, when she walked, standing, lying, sitting remember that merit should be very happy, but happy, but only death Because of a grudge against her son she fell to hell. Having fallen to hell is too hot, she naturally recalls that in life has been a monk's offering to the monks, then immediately turned into hell into a large tower to her straight up the sky. Advantages. Many people do not understand, say at home psychologically also, need to come to the temple, but understand that is wrong. We often go to the temple to remember the dignified, pure, make their minds are also purified. When we die, because we often remember the Buddha Dharma, we will be born in the realm. At home, I have been able to cultivate the mind, sometimes the couple harmony, sometimes bickering, friction, then caught in the craving, when they died, remember those things go bad. After being enlightened, the Zen Masters have to go up the mountain for a period of thirty to fifty years. So it is best to go for a half month or a month, you should go to the temple once, like the battery is off to the charger and then go home only.

In the Lotus Sutra, the Buddha describes the light of the Buddha: " Then the Buddha, from the place where the white-feathered general raises the aura of the entire eight thousand in the East, A Pi, across the sky to save the glass. Beings in this realm see all six species of beings in the other realms" Here we must ask the question: Why in the Mahayana sutras usually talk about the East without talking about the West, the South or the North? Orient in the heart of the land, in mind not a thought, the light of wisdom illuminated throughout. Buddha at the stage of the eye that is not in the head or in the chest is associated with "the bowl open the bright light," the letter is not attached to each other, discriminatory. Whether to go to heaven or hell, the Buddha nature is not added, not less. " Beings in this realm see all six beings in other realms, " that is, when we rely on the light of Medicine Buddha Vajrayana and can enter the mind.dullYesThen you can see the six realms. There are times when we sit near each other without seeing each other because the mind, the host, the host, the guest, the hate, then the mind quiz, san greed, selfish. So when we remove all the evil thoughts, then we can see the six realms.

Zen Master Vien Chieu teaches: " Let's look at the brightness of the great world, the light of the great world, the depths of the world, the great sea, Mount Meru, the sun, the moon, four galaxies, for to the microscopic realm of the Buddha is in the light emitted at the same time. Hey folks! See you? If you can see, you yourself are in that good light, do not see not say good light without illumination. Please take!

If we see every thought to be transformed, we are in His light. So the Ministry of Medicine Buddha Medicine is telling us, let us cultivate and experience that light, not let us recite and pray for peace. There is a good point, even if we can not enter that light, but it is always shining through six premises: eyes, ears, nose smell, tongue tasted, body contact, so although I have not copper With the Buddha, but every day we always experience with the Buddha. Because of that, Mr. Hám Sơn said: " Everyday living in the glass that never experienced, it is very natural. Daily living in the candle that is half the members are Bodhisattva. Daily living in the sense that the abbot in the scene is the main Buddha is the Buddha" So I also have the same taste as the Buddha but not living is the ordinary, eat and sleep as Buddha, but I eat not know that I am eating, drink not know that I am drinking ..., so I and Buddha day a long way away. So, he said: " The most ordinary place of beings is where the Buddha and the Bodhisattva keep an eye on us," we often find strange, virtual dim without knowing that it is the most trivial. is also the most extraordinary place.

Therefore, in the Infinite Life Sutra, the Buddha says: " If beings on this plane have encountered this light, the three substances of greed, hatred and ignorance are destroyed, by that birth. As if they are in the very troublesome triangle, but once you see this light is rested, no longer suffering. When they die, they are free . " Having seen this light immediately, greed, si lost, then the mind body happy, peaceful. So Siddhartha said: " The mind is like good. The infection is evil work , "you notice when your mind is pure and happy, safe then I like doing good things like giving, offering, release, press the books, help people.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.
