The fourth largest vow

VIOLENCE OF THE FOURTH FOUR

"I wish to live later, when the Bodhi, if there are beings who do not follow the pagan religion, we bring them back to abiding in Bodhicitta, or there are people in the practice of Thanh Van, Solitary, We also teach the Mahayana teachings to them.

This is an important part that Buddhists need to grasp. Often we understand the infidels are the people of India do not cultivate Buddhism, but according to the spirit of the Zen, "Foreign mind Buddha, the foreign name," meaning outside the Buddha's mind, it is foreign direct. Therefore, in the Buddhist home, although the practice does not leave the mind. For example, meditation practice in accordance with the spirit of the Bodhidharma is "the only human mind, the nature of the Buddha," the method of Pure Land Buddhism is "the most unconvincing mind" or "Pure mental Buddha ", The method of tantric is" Tam bile corresponded, immediately into the Buddha, "meaning body, speech, correspondence. The method of discourse is different but the focus is to go straight to the heart to recognize the Buddha right where his mind. Scattered in the classics mentioned a lot, here divided into temporary all five types of meditation:

" He conducts electricity from his belly button on his back, onto his head and down to his navel, leading him around like a chakra ." This meditation sits like a stream flowing through seven chakras. This kind of meditation is not the spirit of Buddhism, not the focal point to overcome the realm of samsara.

"You open the grave acupuncture on the body and go to school to go to school, " that is sitting in a place and then go out to study religious in this place. There is a Canadian Buddhist who tells us that he also practices this method. For example, you have a comfortable home, but when you go out without locking or no one keeps your house, steal it. Also, my body without a boss, who in? Ghosts, demons ... will come in. So, for a while, I went out to the streets, talking babble.

"You  breathe in the dormitory for a moment and then breathe out, long days on the lower abdomen grow like a pregnant woman, so called pregnancy meditation ." That is when breathing in the gas to the lower abdomen and then breathe out, gradually the belly is as big as pregnant women about three or four months.

This meditation is religious or cultivating, and sometimes it is also a little divine, but it is not aimed at the goal of enlightenment. There is a story: Lu Tong Tan home in Jingzhou, at the end of the road he went to three times do not pass, so sad to return home. When visiting the pub in Chang'an, casually encountered Chung Han taught the magic school. He went to practice it and have some magic, flying in the air freely, still travel throughout the galaxy. One day he went to Hai Hoi pagoda in Lon Son. From there, he saw a brilliant aura, knowing that there was also a dharma man, so he flew down. lecture hall. When flying down, he writes on the four-tone bell tower:

On a leisurely stroll

Six god harmony peace

Dang Phuong asked questions

Contemplation of mindless meditation.

Since he arrived at the lecture day, he also attended, but just after the conference, Zen Master Hoang Long said:

- Today there are people to steal the French, he did not lecture anymore.

In the past, Zen masters who had practiced other disciplines, they knew and did not preach, because they did not understand the teachings of the Buddha, leading to defamation and contempt for the dark. God will be hell. As the Sixth Patriarch Hui Nang said, " If it is not the opposite of companionship, it is not transmitted in other disciplines .

At this time, Lu Dong Tan came to the ceremony, asked:

- What is in a grain of grain in the world, in the pan half cooked mountain river?

Zen master Hoang Long reprimanded:

- It's the demon that keeps seeing dead

Dong Tan said:

- How in this bag have immortal pill?

Zen master Hoang Long said:

- Although he has lived eight lives, not lost in the good.

"Ngoan no" means submerged in dead water, no magic. As Uat Lam Lam Phat has reached the life of eighty-four thousand lives in the non-perception of non-ideal world, but then he also falls into the animal, the fox, the bird eating under eat fish, all made mink species do not know how many death in hell. Why? In the Kinh said: Because he cultivated years of magic should fly in the air very self. The king is very fond of him so often offerings. Once the king was away, he asked the princess at home to welcome the king and offer them. This princess was very beautiful, when she kneeled down to worship, then accidentally her hand touched his feet, then he missed a thought, so lost magic, then did not fly back. He lied about wanting to go by carriage to greet the villagers. After returning home, he went up to the mountain to meditate, but at this time in the sky, the birds called, under the fish stirred him can not go to the wrong. It was too late for him to make a fox, and then eat fish from underneath. Because of the curse at the anger that the Buddha said he after enjoying eighty-four thousand lives in heaven non-non-ideal non-ideal land will die as animals.

Back to the story of Lu Dong Tan. After listening to the Zen master said, he floated the yard, launched the sword to cut the Zen master Hoang Long. You see, on top of it he said, "Dang dang you ask questions. Inconsiderate mind, do not ask meditation, "but here he forgets, although there is a divine spirit of freedom, but still greed. The monk raised one hand and fell to the ground. Dong Tan did not pick up the sword to make repentance ceremony, asked the Buddha Dharma.

Master Hoang Long asked:

- Do not ask about the pan half cooked up mountain river, only asked in a grain of grain that contains the world?

Dong Tan right here just the right conference, read the penny shelf:

Remove the bag, crush the flock

From now on, gold and silver training is not needed

Since meeting with Hoang Long

I know this is a mistake.

He took refuge with Zen Master Huang Long and has since followed the path of meditation.

In the Buddhist house is the most common (pine, pine, pine, pine, pine, pine, pine, pine, pine). As I sit here and hear anyone say where the magic is pulling together to see, the little bit that we were led to them, so say modern Buddhists are easily cheated in Germany The Buddha is not so easy. Recently we went to Burma to visit the meditation schools, some of them talked to the head of Truc Lam, they saw this, saw that. Thay said, despite showing that eighty-four thousand lives but never, even a moment, to see and encounter with his mind, also use the job.

Therefore, in the Book of the Dummy, the book has written: In the past in the country of Tan Tan has a teacher expansion of Buddhism, his disciples have a few hundred students, including the meditator who has meditation, there are people have the year of the gods, there are people who have completed the results, there are people attained Arahants. At that time there was a person from An Tuc province, see the monk said such a teacher is very happy, please be a disciple. Due to good fortune should practice, he is proof of the god. Because in the short time that he was exposed, he performed in front of everyone. The teacher said: " Although the pine, but the seeds of defilement, defilement is not clean, do not be born arrogant mind into that power." Although his teacher is very clear, but he not only hear but also angry, thought his teacher is not equal to jealousy, so he flew to the United States. After arriving in Anjuna, he used his magic powers to pass through the king's palace. The king saw himself ask: " Why are there people flying on nothing?"And invited him down. After a talk, the king knew that this man had attained the fifth year of the miracle and invited him to live in daily life to make offerings and study. But after entering the palace near the king there are so many beautiful women so he delve into the things that made a lot of time after the pregnant women. The great king knew that the king told him that at first the king did not believe that a master who had attained divinity could do such shameful things. After all, because many people asked that the king send a man to test it, it was true. But because of gratitude, the king only invited the teacher out of the arc rather than the story. After leaving the palace, because no longer cultivated, no one offered, he wandered, hunger, then became robbers. This robbery caused the most serious thing is killing people, robbery ... so the king himself must go around the military. After catching the bandits and realizing that the teacher had witnessed the day, the king said:In the past because of the women should happen that, I have already missed. Why do not you go out and eat ? " He replied: " Because of that, I can not cultivate anymore, so hungry, so the step must become a bandit ." The king was also benevolent, thinking he had cultivated, witnessed that the seminary should let him die but expelled from the country. As he was kicked out of the country, thinking that he committed the sex, close, should decide to go to work. He went to the house of a butcher slaughtering cattle, pigs ..., for a time, because of the blessing, so in a beating of the bone, two pieces of bone in his eyes blinded him. After getting fired, he took the bowl begging, life is tragic and hungry.

One day, the monk in Ke Tan remembered the old disciples should use the label to see now how elaborately he is cultivating, where is the teacher, see his disciples are eating please. Now among his disciples there are five hundred monks who enjoy only the five magical powers, but they do not want to destroy the greed of greed, hatred and ignorance. At this point the teacher wants to alert them to say:

- Hey you, prepare inventory. Tomorrow we go to see his brother, who in the past because of the information was not finished listening to my instructions to leave.

Then his disciples were happy to say:

- After five years of teaching it now to make our brothers and brilliant career, make disciples is crowded enough.

The next day, because they all used miracles, they soon came before the beggar. The disciples were amazed, not yet aware of the person in front of them as their brother should ask him:

- Teacher, why do not you take us to the brother and go to the beggar blind this?

The teacher did not say anything, just called, immediately, the blind beggar dropped the bowl and knelt down saying:

- Master, are you my teacher?

That's right, I visit you. Why are you here?

The beggar is crying and tells the story of what happened to him before. The teacher turned to the disciples:

- The year of miracle is not necessarily clean all infected so the children do not rely on it.

When the teacher reminded him, five hundred monks immediately attained Arahantship, entering the path of no birth.

Through the above story, we find that even though they have witnessed the goddess years, they still commit to prostitution, sex and finally go begging for food. Nowadays, we only need to hear the news that some people find dead bodies missing for decades, then immediately acclaimed, considered them as holy right without understanding anything about the Buddhist teachings. The monk also said: If Buddhists are listening to the law and heard that someone is flying outside, then surely also go out to watch rather than sit listening to the French.

In the past, Ton Nu Aau Lau on a morning mourning, he saw a thousand small earthquakes. He came to Salat Xa Loi Phat, then Salim Singh rebuked:

- This is the scum of greed, hatred and delusion. It's just a bark, not a tree.

A Lau Da kneeling down asked:

- Brother, what is the core of the tree?

Sariputta says:

- It is a passage of greed, anger, delusion, anguish, or privation.

After a long time, he asked the Buddha to go to the forest to practice, after three months he witnessed A-la-drought.

Take a specific example, this is a glass, now put in a ring and cover it, bring the two teachers see. A teacher said in the glass there is a ring and a teacher said nothing. So in the two teachers, honestly who do you respect? Make sure you respect the first teacher because the teacher looks through the glass and sees the ring. If you do not have the blessed grace of the Venerable, then it is easy to be deceived, especially in the North, many people believe the story where, see what is strange, believe many times to want to always. But for the Buddha, whether any teacher, whether to see or not see the ring in the cup but for the color, bar, incense, taste, contact, not attached to the Buddha has the eyes Bat Nha , the unborn eye.

In the Bible, there is a narrative story: There is a sequel to the fifth year of miracles should be very despise his master. Being so disciplined, one day the teacher warned me, " I would like to show that I have divine powers, and I should be careful because if not, at some point, I will have to ask a woman who is reared that ". This novice does not believe so argue and leave. One day the teacher is doing the ceremony on the main hall suddenly started thinking: " Now what is a lotus flower in the Himalayan mountains are you familiar with?" As he was about to commence the seminary, he saw the teacher, the teacher's mind should give him master lotus flower. He received the lotus and again warned his disciples to be careful in the use of magic. This time, she became angry and she did not leave. While traveling in the air, he heard a melodious music from the river below, looking down to see a beautiful girl carrying water. Since the ear was running with the music and the eyes were running in the shadow of the girl, this naga was lost in divine power, but due to the still a bit of meditative power, he slowly lowered to the ground. Because he thought that because of the girl that he lost all his energy so he forced the girl to marry. She refuses to see him as a Buddhist disciple and has left the family but he still insists she must marry him, otherwise he will die in front of her. The girl was partly afraid, partly because he was also healthy, handsome so finally agreed. After getting married, he applied to work in a textile factory. One day to work, lunch time, everyone is wife or family to bring but he waited forever not see his wife's silhouette. At noon saw his wife brought to eat, now just hunger plus angry rage so handy, he was woven sponge cloth and thrown to his wife. Unfortunately, the missus flew into the eyes of the wife who blinded both her eyes. At this moment he suddenly awakened and cried. Everyone was comforting, he said: Everybody gets their wives or family members to bring food but he waits forever to see his wife's silhouette. At noon saw his wife brought to eat, now just hunger plus angry rage so handy, he was woven sponge cloth and thrown to his wife. Unfortunately, the missile flew into the eyes of the wife who blinded both her eyes. At this moment he suddenly awakened and cried. Everyone was comforting, he said: Everybody gets their wives or family members to bring food but he waits forever to see his wife's silhouette. At noon saw his wife brought to eat, now just hunger plus angry rage so handy, he was woven sponge cloth and thrown to his wife. Unfortunately, the missile flew into the eyes of the wife who blinded both her eyes. At this moment he suddenly awakened and cried. Everyone was comforting, he said:I do not cry because my wife is blind, but I cry because I regret not listening to the teachings of my teacher in the past . " And from then on, he went to work and brought money, brought his wife, and his wife was blind, unable to work so all year round at home cooking to wait for him to eat.

So who said seeing three, four previous life is not related to Buddhism at all. Although witnessed in the magic that has not reached smuggled through the adoption, because of the human growth, but when we go to see the depths of this waterfall is very subtle. The Patriarch said, this is the shore of life and death. We practice as though we are walking on thin ice, standing on the abyss, slipping a little, falling dead, so be very careful not to believe in your mind. In the Fourth, the Buddha taught: " As long as you attain Arahantship then they will believe in it.", Is not like that, despite the evidence, the mind is still the mind, the mind deceiving. As calm as the sea, but below the waves are rolling, just enough charm that it rolled into the sin lines immediately. In the spirit of the Patriarchs, they are not attached to the path of divine power, but on the dhammas, we do not stick, do not cling, do not cling, do not stick, that is called buddhist eyes Food. This eye is essential during our study path.

Zen Buddhism focuses on promoting wisdom, breaking delusion, ego, France to escape the scene of birth and death. Break into meditation and meditation directly.

1. Enlightenment Meditation of the Enlightenment belongs to the practice (the way of the store).

A. Primitive Meditation:  In the spirit of the four foundations of mindfulness:

- Impatient body: is about thirty-six things in the body, see each dry bone. But after the impure body must return to the net immediately not lead to suicide because then feel abhorrent this unclean body. At the time of the Buddha, there were sixty Bhikkhus after the body was impure, so abusive that they went to suicide. When the Buddha saw the lack of dozens of tens, asked to know the reason, he taught that: " When you come to the impure body to extreme, then you have to return to the net ."

- Contemplation is suffering: whether life is pleasant or sad, all feelings are all suffering.

- Quan Tam Quan

- French No-self

That's called tu tu (practice).

B. Meditation of Mahayana Buddhism : In the spirit of Lua's teachings, Master Chih-i's revelation consists of the books, the readings, the readings, the readings, the translations.

2. Meditation directly

Zen meditation is just called the Enlightenment of the Buddha Meditation, the type of meditation is not written, transmitted separately from the scriptures. This meditation direct the mind of the person who sees the nature of the Buddha, so it can be called the mind of the Buddha, or the mind of the Buddha. The original origin of Zen Buddhism is simply "Seal the flower market", that is on the Assembly of Souls, the Buddha brought the lotus flower, He Shakyamuni smiled the Buddha's mind. The healer passed down to Ananda, until the Twenty-ninth Patriarchate of Bodhidharma through China made Sensei raise his spirit:

Independent writing

The foreign teacher

Only human heart

The nature of the Buddha.

Let us not think that in the time of the Buddha there was no teaching method. In the lemmas only note: One day, the Buddha was elevated to the throne , the congregation gathered, the Bodhisattva Van Thuy immortalized them: " See the technique of the Dharma King. The French dharma is like that . " Bodhisattva finished talking, the Buddha went to court. You must pay attention to the Bodhisattva Manjushri fight against them: " See the technique of His Holiness. The Dharma is like that . " Did you hear? The sound is at the base of communication, ie listening without being chased, it is enlightened the law of the King. Hear the birds, the dogs, the cats, all the voices coming at the same time, but only one nature, every law is in its own, do not affect the hearing.

In the Ngu Dang Nguoi Nguyen noted: One day, General Zhu Xunan came to ask Nam Tuyen Zen master:

- I have a goose in the jar, now it's big, I want to get it out without breaking the jar. Ask me how to do it?

The Zen Master calls:

- Luan Cong

- Yes

- Out.

Right then he succeeded.

Then one day, before begging, Sun worshiper Ananda asked the Buddha:

- Dear Buddha, the Buddha taught the child about the alms of the seven previous Buddha?

The Buddha called:

- A Nan

- Yes

- Scat.

Right then that A Nan received immediately.

So, who knows "Yes"? Who knows? As soon as I reflect back, immediately full of no shortage. So we see the dhamma has been from the Buddha.

In the A Jhara, one day the Buddha and the Bhikkhus go to the Forest of the Body. He picked up a leaf and asked,

- Monks, hold the leaves in my hand or leaves in the forest much?

The monks said,

- White Sun, leaves in the hands of the Little Sun, leaves in the forest a lot.

Buddha taught:

"What I say to you is like holding a leaf in my hand, and what I experience is like a leaf in the forest.

Therefore, even if we read the Tripitaka classics, it is just a leaf in the hand, but what we experience is like leaves in the forest, say not. In the meditation house, it is like dumb people who eat honey, even if they feel the sweetness, but when others ask, they do not say, can not express.

In Nirvana Sutra, there is a turtle and a fish together. One day the turtle walked on the ground, after returning, the fish asked:

- Where are you going now that I have not seen you?

Turtle replied:

- A few days ago I went to the shore to walk, see what is the castle, the house, people are very busy.

The fish did not believe them and said the turtles spoke. Even if the turtle has explained how much the fish still do not believe. Why? Because the fish has never landed. The Buddha says that the world of Nirvana is the one who experiences it in the first place. Therefore, they come to them, they speak, not silence. Therefore, in the Book of the Enlightenment, Hui Son said: "Just use a word to know, it is supreme law," is very suitable for the law "Do not follow" of Truc Lam.

In the Sutra, the Buddha says:

- Hey Bhikkhus! The mind is aware of the interior he has greed, his inner courtyards know his inner heart has a yard, his inner mind knows his inner self is si. Hey monks! Know whether they are present or not in the mind. Are they beliefs that are understood or are known to be understood, or are the methods of thought understood, or are they heard, tolerated, enjoyed, or justified?

The monks said:

- Lord, is not it?

Buddha asked:

- Hey Bhikkhus! Are these dharmas by seeing them with wisdom?

The monks said:

- Goodbye, Master, that's true.

So what is seen greed, anger, si? That is the inner knowing but we forget. So Lam Te said, " Today's learners do not get it by clinging to the words of understanding, taking notes of old men's words into a big notebook and wrapping them up in three layers. For others to see, say it is mysterious, keep the right to do as your precious. Blinders! You are on dry bone where to find water . " You do not have to write the business is not out of the water, so this book is dead, but the so-called life's most alive in the self-esteem of the Buddhist. I learned catechism here is to know, to learn is to learn to avoid getting lost the wrong way. And we can cultivate, experience is permeate the limbs, universal action, that is a new life.

There is a huge empire in the mountains in Japan, there are some monks on the full moon in April, July, October or the New Year, usually bring the sun in the wind and say that people The wind, smell a little business, how many diseases, defilements are eliminated, so people race to the mountains. One day Nhat Hieu hears this rumor so he goes up. Where it was, he found the wind from the abdomen exposed to the belly on the grass, many believers on the mountain found so very unsightly. At this time the monks at the monastery were very upset and ran out saying:

- This place is the pagoda and the place where we expose it, why did you take off your shirt like that?

The teacher replies:

- We are also drying.

The monks asked:

- Where are you?

He pointed at his stomach and continued:

- Here we are. This business knows, eat sleep, know the sermon, know work. My business is the life, but the business is drying is death.

From then on, the other monks from that time no longer dry business.

So this new business is the most lively, doing good, tolerant, forgiving, do all the healing, volunteer, volunteer also from this business. So Zen teacher Lin Chi rebuked: The learner of this time is not received by clinging to the meaning of understanding, and then arguing this business of the Buddha, the other is not the Buddha's business without receiving his feet right at home.

Continuing, in the Ngu Dang Hoi Nguyen has a story: Zen master Shen Tuan after enlightenment at the Ba Truong where he returned to the teacher before. Upon arriving, the master asked:

- What have you been up to ten years ago?

He replied:

- You go empty handed, also empty hands.

What is that? As the Bat Kinh, the spirit of Bat Nha destroy all the careers have contained. That said that the teacher was not enlightened. One day, the teacher watching the business is a bee go through the paper sticking out of the window, forever without getting out. At this time, Master Tan Tan read the verse:

The door will not come out

Too stupid window

Hundred years old paper

What new day is coming out?

The teacher finished listening to let down, said:

- From the hour I saw you say strange, all the mystery of the meditation only. Your highsword speaks to me and the public.

The next day, Zen Master Shen Tuan sitting at the lecture hall, raising the spirit of Ba Truong

Lead poisoning

Out of the ceiling

Do not cling to words

Identity is not infected

Capital is self

Just leave hope

Such as the Buddhas.

Just finished teaching the teacher crying, said:

- He grew up over forty years ago to hear the mystery.

You see, this teacher more than forty years to hear the mystery of the meditator should be moved to cry. And now I hear more or less? Since then I have seen many blessings without grasp.

The mind of the meditator, ask the other party.

There is a noble family children who know a poor boy should be prohibited by his parents. One day he misses her too much to take home, but the house is too big to know where she is. The lady upstairs to see, want to let him know where he is but afraid of parents discovered, should pretend to call out: " Little Ngoc, give her the vase ." Embracing Xiaoping is so but really the only point for him where he is. So the new sentence:

Emperor Qin Jianyu unknowingly

Only the lyricist has won.

It mean:

There is no other

Only the guy's voice only.

In the Zen house, they take this story as an example to teach, mostly recognizing their own master, and all the sutras ... are the means. It is meditation only.

One day, Mr. Tăng came to ask the Zen master:

- What is the idea of ​​Buddhism?

Brother replies:

- How much is rice in Lo Lang?

Listen to the absurd, why ask the Buddha Dharma questions about the price of rice in the Lang? If right that I think the price of rice in the Lang is how much, or lose money, then lose themselves, but suddenly suddenly all the thoughts are immediately received the Buddha Dharma.

One day, the monk asked Cao Son,

- What is the most precious thing in the world?

Brother replies:

- The head of the cat died.

The monk asked:

- Why did the cat die?

Brother replies:

- Because no one paid.

No one will pay the price is still cheap, if people pay the price will be cheap, but leave the cheap, the host, the facility is immediately received. Every day we always live in the treatment, so when the dead, whether they love or hate to go into the bad world, so must leave the duality of hostility, hate, then immediately go straight to Central Tao. It is direct meditation, pointing to the heart. What is the treatment? I meditate if not clever or be attached on the concept.

As the story of a morning tofu seller passed through the spot Master Zen. Seeing those monks sitting quietly, one day he risked asking the Zen master: " Teacher, how are you sitting? Will you be able to sit tomorrow? " Zen master agrees. So the next day he went to meditate with everyone. Sit around for an hour, he shouted: " See, see ". Raise them happy because he thinks this good charm, has just seen the director. After the meditation is finished, people come to ask what he saw what he said: " Ms. Bay lack money to buy tofu nearly a year that I do not remember, now sitting meditation remember ."

You do not have enough resources to retreat to know, but do not remember when in retreat, I remember all, from childhood, have ever been anywhere, do .... But what is one thing that sees each thought? As long as I live back to my knowledge, then it left, at some point thought it was born and killed itself. When they reach this level, they sit very still, and anyone who asks me to do meditation for what they say is "sitting", but at that time is the most effective use, called " harmless business ". To reach that state, then cook rice, wash dishes, sweep the house, ride the train ... all tu, no matter what work to be done. There are people who sit in meditation and say "Go! Let's go! ", Asked what to do to chase the idea. The real idea is to chase it, do like any other stick sticks to nothing.

Then one of the monks asked the Zen Master, " What is the Buddha? " The master replied, " Dry chives ." In this business I found in the four business also do not see where this point is. It lies in the living power of the Zen masters, the answer makes the person silly, innocent. At that time the mind is quiet and get the Buddha in his place. That is the trick of the Zen master.

Therefore, Zen Master Bach An made a verse:

In the cave of Tat Bat La

This business has not been established

Dong Tho is not translated

An Nan is not heard.

After the Buddha entered Nirvana, Venerable Mahakasyapa convened five hundred saints, selected the Tat Bowl to associate the Buddhist scriptures for the first time. But this classic A Nan never heard. So the Buddha said this business? How to say? In the Kim Cang, the Buddha came to eat him, he put the bowl, go to the city of alms to alms, when entering the city under alms class, back to his place, finished life, arranged bowl, wash feet and spread the court that sat. At that time, Tu Bodhi Buddhist knight bowed clasped glass Buddha: " The Lord , so little. As Lai cleverly recited the Bodhisattva, smartly depict the Bodhisattva" In the hollow of the bowl, go step by step into the alms round, about the life of the boy ..., every thing he ever displayed, that is the living speech from the Buddha, so to say the sutras. He has not heard Ananda, but He also did not translate. He was the Kumarajiva in Yiu Qin, He was the prodigy of translating the sutras, the sutras that he translated from Sanskrit into Han Dynasty is very ecstatic, his writing is very bright and airy.

Again:

Wind over the door

Male snow falls

The moon is thin

Clouds of cold rain

Thousands of Buddhas even appear

Do not add a word.

Here you note, the north wind, the south, the mountain moon, the cold cloud, the whole is the luster. Which in the light of the dharmas are all binary ideas, which are cheap, must be worse, less good, bad. That is so, then the spirit is only visible.

Thus through this section, we highlight let you see five types of Buddhist meditation and not grasp the disciplines that we are practicing Zen " Online only heartless, is the nature of Buddha" . How many things are sacred is scum, is rubbish, removed, without attachment. For those who say this life, the other, I also coldly say, "Whether he has seen millions of lives or not, flying on the air that has not transformed his mind is useless." . Grasping this, the Buddha said that this person has a superior nature, must plant deep roots to meet the teachings of this spear and believe in the practice.

In the past, Bodhisattva Manjushri for defamation of this method that has killed thirty thousand minor lives in hell, all hell lives up to the animal, hungry ghost. Then a thousand years later to be a monk, but halfway back to the next. You see, because of the defamation of the Buddha's teachings that suffer so horrible. So if we do not believe, do not understand, we have not cultivated, not experienced that defamation top supreme law, this sin is very large. We have the grace to practice according to this law, but if you say "I follow the highest course", it is also sick, must review because I only know. Here we give you the Buddhist way to see and grasp the method you are cultivating, and this spirit is not involved.

Therefore, the fourth major vow of Medicine Buddha King Ly Thuong Vuong is to use the means to bring the practice of spiritual practice Thanh Van, Duyen Giac, Solitary on the Mahayana road, ie large vehicle, the road Dhamma of the Buddha.

After nine hundred years of Buddha's death, in the country of Tan Tan has three brothers outstanding. The eldest brother is the Immaculate One, he is the master of the Mahayana sutras, but his younger brother, the Theravadin, enjoys the Hinayana, the Sutra, the Sutra, the Sutra. Tibetan Buddhism, said this is fake and always praised the law and wrote more than 500 articles into more than 500 essays. Asordan knew his brother defamed the ultimate method, fearing his brother later fell into misery without knowing how to advise. One day, he thought of a skillful means. He sent a letter to Thich Nhat Hanh, saying that he was dying and told him to come. Although the ideas and means of spiritual practice are different, but the two brothers are very much in love, so heard the news, he immediately hit the road. After meeting him, Asanga said:
