DEATH IS NOT THE END.
Because the world is often said to live dead, then understand life is the beginning and death is the end of life. That means death is the end, the end, life is finished. Do not think so when people living to enjoy enjoyment to die not timely, also from the concept that the creator of many karmas can not be measured.
But in Buddhism it is not so, teach the monk always remember to die, then live, not dead. It means dying this life to live the next life, this life is considered as a transition station rather than the last point, obviously so.
It is our life right now that this is the first time in our lives. Our present life is a continuation of the past. Thus, the present life is the transition station, from this station forward to the future station. If the past life does not have to die, then how to have this present life, as this present life does not die, then how to have future life. Understanding that truth, death is to live rather than the last.
But what is important is that we must die to live without regret, knowing that our death is not the end. Zen Master Tu Dao Hanh in Vietnam, when about President He verse to remind disciples:
Retry any acknowledgment hybrid rules,
Consul's goofy play marbles intermission.
Journalist pensioners before,
Graduate teacher monk.
TRANSLATION:
Farewell to fly together with the
lazy people to borrow money.
Oh! Dear disciples do not attach to the
old master of the teacher.
When he was about to be imprisoned, his disciples were sad because they had to lose their teachers, so he reminded them.
"I do not have a date to fly." Every autumn, there is no flight schedule, but no appointment that it also. Like death at the right time, it must die, not be able to date.
"Laughing people living borrowed money" People do not know the truth that life is so sad, sad, crying.
Therefore, he reminded: "Well! You do not belong to the disciples do not attach to the old teacher. "Because it was not the first time he died, but he has taught how many times like that. This time only once in how many times the teacher again. The death is now going to be again, which is the first time he died. He reminded the disciples not to attach, sad cry.
Understand that when you die do not be sad, because death is to live. And who thinks death is the end, is the last, is lost all his life so sad, sorry to cry all things, here we understand death to live do not have to worry.
So, when the Sixth Patriarch announced that he was about to be imprisoned, his disciples were crying, only God was not crying. Luu Foundation said: "Than the Spirit is good good evil, no compliment, happy sad no birth, in addition to not be." That is, the young God was so young and so called the Master, and praised the good and evil, praise, sad and happy nothing is moving, but people are not so.
"How many years in the whole mountain of religious practice? Now they are sad to care for anyone, if we do not know where to go, we know where to go, if we do not know where to go, without warning to you. They are sad because they do not know my place, if I know my place should not be sad. The sixth Patriarch of rebellion in the mountain where the religious still like the world is sad also. And what are you crying for? If you cry for me, worry for me, afraid of death I do not know where to go, then I know where to go to tell you that I go, then they cry to me is not it! That is the lack of cultivation. That is to remind people to be smart, not like people.
Because people do not know the true meaning of death, so when the death is sad to note, but understand this meaning is not sad to cry, that is to remind people to practice more. So remember, death is not the end, and death is not the end, but death is to live, that is the true meaning.
II. PREPARE FOR DEATH.
Because death is not dead, it is necessary to prepare for death, to live again. That is to prepare for death, so that when we come back to life better, it makes sense. Just like leaving your old car in a new car, you have to replace your new one with a better one.
Which would be better to replace the new car? We must prepare for the capital adequately. That is, in our present life, we must create a good life, create good deeds, prepare the capital, prepare for the good death and then live a better life, because there Prepare to replace the new car better.
If we are not prepared for it to be old, and also have no money to buy new car when it is dead and then encountered something that is very dangerous. Therefore, Mr. Han Son reincarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva has a poem remind people:
Life before too dense,
Not today,
today's poor, this
is the previous generation.
That is, he said the day before man because too foolish fool, nothing to today's level. Just as poor people are. Poverty has two: Poor in terms of money, but also poor in virtue, no merit. He said that today's poverty is the result of previous generations, ie create bad people.
Life is not here,
Life after the same,
Two sides are not boat,
Difficult to salvage difficult.
We know that this life is poor because of previous life lack capital, tu life is not here, the next life is the same, the old is good, sometimes it is not the same but also down. You say the shore like there is no boat, no previous life, no life now, the next life to take something to save me here, very dangerous, it is unprepared! Therefore, each person must be wise to prepare not to die when panic, scare and play with no fulcrum, do not know where to go is dangerous! That is not good to do good business, making the buoy to cling to this vast ocean birth is really scary fear. So, the understanding must be prepared to go ahead to go far.
There is a Tibetan master who tells people: "Learn to know how to die, that is to learn how to live. To learn how to live is to learn how to act, not only in this life but also in many lives to come. To transform ourselves real, and to be reborn as a transformed one to help others, is to truly help the world in the most powerful way. "
So, learning death is live life, what is life? That is, to learn how to act in this life, to transform ourselves into a good kamma, so that when rebirth is transformed into a good and beneficial one, it also helps help people, to build a better world, a way to live more positive.
Thus learning death is learning to live right in the present life, living the true meaning of life, to bring a peaceful death, a good transition and active life. So, learning the Buddha is not negative, there are people who say the Buddha taught only about impermanence, birth and death so sad, so negative! On the contrary, this is a way for people to live to transform their lives, but also to benefit the people around. So, it is a very positive way of living, not negative, only people who do not understand Buddhism is said to be negative. So thoroughly, then we are prepared to make life meaningful, living the meaning of life.
The Dalai Lama also said, "As a Buddhist, I consider death to be a normal thing, a reality that I accept will happen, as long as I remain in this mundane world. Knowing that death is inevitable, I see no reason to worry about it. " Buddhists are Buddhists, so you name the Buddhists is very meaningful, not trivial, he himself claims that he is a Buddhist. That is to be here is to accept that I have to die, it is something must come but not inevitable. Knowing that is unavoidable, there is no reason to fear to worry. We are afraid of death, we must die, why fear? If afraid of death, should also be afraid, also afraid to die is afraid to do? So he said there was no reason to worry about it.
"I used to think of death as changing clothes, when they were old and worn out, rather than the ultimate end." Italy says death is not the end, not death.
"Death is unpredictable, we do not know when and how it happened. So the only reasonable thing to do is to do some certain distance, before the actual death, it is the wise. That is to be sure that death is something that we must go to inevitable, forced to accept it. He said he knew it, but did not know when, when, and how. The only reasonable thing is that now each person must prepare the room, some certain points so that when the death comes, thanks to the preparation, so easy to deal with, it is wise people.
Here, we see that the religious understanding is always reminded like that, must worry about the preparation before, so that moment there is no surprise. Not prepared at all when the death comes suddenly and panic, fear of embarrassing things, like the unexpected. So right here everyone is prepared to fit, do not say that I am healthy now to next year, or dozen years to prepare too late. It is not here, prepared here, not late, preparing us to have a morally righteous death, rather than the mundane death mourning the world. That is, die for worthy of the spirit of the teacher, dying with a meaningful death.
III. LESSONS FOR DEATH.
1. There was an American woman who came to see the Tibetan teacher in New York, and when she was sitting in the room in front of him, she suddenly burst into tears, saying: "The doctor said that I only I can live for a few months, so can you help me? I'm dying, dying. In such a case, he used his comforting way to ease her grief. He said with a chuckle, he said: "That, she found in us all are dying, just a matter of time, Some people die sooner than others, that's all! "
He helped her see, dying is universal for all, not just for her. So He said that you should see everyone, everyone is dying and dying, only time is dying and dying. So, that some people die sooner than others. But who is also to die.
Because she thought she had died alone, death just imposed upon her, but here he states that death is universal for all. That is it is divided equally, each one has the share, not just anyone. Then we all worry, there are people to share their own, not personally, this person to take part, the other part, I also received a small part of it. We are also less anxious, regain some vigilance is to remember that death is divided equally. Then, he talked about death, explaining death, helping her accept death, that is his ingenious way.
In order to see the situation of the majority of people living without dying, do not worry about preparation, so suddenly face it, facing death, not self-control, loss of self-control. You should remember that although intelligence, the number one intelligence in the world can not solve it, can not save himself from death. At that time smart also can not save should be prepared, that is to have "dharma" to live, because at that moment there is no time to reason this and that.
Thus, everyone needs to be prepared, because sudden death comes when we lack preparation, when faced with death, it will be very painful, lost and calm!
2. Death preparation: As King Tran Thanh Tong Tran, as a king, but also learn meditation, there are spiritual practice, prepare. Despite all the busy things of a king, thanks to the practice of law, there is a legal basis, so when death is self-control, there is calm face to face death.
Do not think that I am busy, do not have time to cultivate, he has time, he has time, just want or not. In the diocesan inscription: When the king was sick, Tue Trung sent letter to visit, the king wrote at the end of the paper in reply:
The heat is burning sweat, the
mother still dry dry.
That is, the heat is burning this body to sweat soaked, but not to his mother. That is, he saw that the fire of impermanence, the fire of birth and death of this body so urgent, but he himself did not see anything. Called no wet to the mother, to his true man, it just burned the body only, so there is no fear.
You see a king who is very good. The king saw that death had nothing to do with him. And at the time of heavy disease, the king often knocked on the pillow, as if there is something in the interior, a moment to ask the pen to write the shelf to leave:
birth like a shirt,
death ,
From past to present,
no other way.
Man is born like a dress, dying like a naked, from the past is so. He is living dead like wearing a shirt, take off his shirt has nothing to do with him, that is calm with no fear at all. So the king found himself not dead, the fire of impermanence burned burning, burned this body of sweat, but also did not involve his true self. We see the king understand morality, see the moral and also vitality rather than speak empty, so see death as wearing a shirt, nothing to worry. It is a well-prepared death, a very meaningful death, a very dead death, so dead he is not dead!
There is a story about a spiritual practitioner. When he was about to die a few days ago, the doctor came to see if he was going to die, but the doctor hesitated to tell whether he should tell the truth. According to the doctor's experience, many patients are afraid of dying, so the look of the doctor looks serious sad. But he was like an innocent child, begging the doctor for his health. Finally, the doctor told the truth, just gently comforting: "Be careful, time has come." Speak very well. Just finished speaking, the doctor surprised his face brighten up, he said: "Really! Oh, that's good news. "At that moment, he looked up to the sky and died gently !!!
It is dying to prepare, to hear death is rejoicing, for that it is good news to soon get rid of this body. So he died not suffering, but a shining death, right meaning. These are the lessons to die, remember to die is to live, not to die, to lose, always remember that.
- Another point to remember is that death is divided equally for all, not just anyone, everyone is so and so sure. But what does not know how death will come? So, at the present time, we have to prepare far from the necessary conditions in the event of death, by the way we have to study "dharma" and "dharma" to live, ie living with dharma. It is a far away room, is to prepare, that is to create capital so that when it comes we also have the calm, although we have not really liberated completely, but there is a place to swallow, so right here Prepare to be fit.
We learn to practice, not to increase our knowledge. No matter how many people understand the practice without practice, they will not go where, if death comes as often panic. Do not think that I understand the dharma so when the death comes okay! It's not like that, because understanding is something that practice is one thing.
For example, "I'm free," it's easy to talk and anyone can say it, but it's really free. So here too, say I understand the truth is understandable, but if you have not practiced, not real life, do not often reflect and prepare yourself, then when these understandings can not be used. Because there is no time for us to remember the sutras, there is no time for us to say the truth. At that time, the karmas made their way back into the heart, making the spirit more confused. Do not prepare, also do not contemplate the practice of death, then we remember this one, then when it is about to leave this body do not know where to go, in the heart is full of fear, coordinate
Therefore, when there is preparation, the moment comes to us immediately know, do not feel strange, the mind is calm, but there is calmness is legal, we are more peaceful death. I myself was prepared to be the most important, but do not think that there are descendants to worry for me, it is not sure. If the child is sincere because of his superpowers, sometimes there is the induction; But as they do lie, or to have a reputation, sometimes more danger. At that time, you are on the other side that it is a lie for the children to blame, then you are not happy to say no more, then immediately, go to bed. Or, we die on the same date, they do not let home, then more and more. To say so to all consciousness to prepare the full moral sense, making good when gone is good.
IV. SUMMARY.
It is imperative that all people go to the inevitable death, which is a must for all who are present in this world. If so, then we have to go through life to be good, to make sense. Let's remember, this is just a relay station, not the last. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize clearly and to transfer the car for good, that is the way of learning Buddhist living, living to go through death and death to live. So die for life, not death.
As verse of Zen Master Man Giac when he was about president taught them:
Xuan past cypress flowers optimistic,
Xuan Bach flower opening,
the axis labels money too,
Lao spare head traders
Mac're spring cleaning flower optimistic take,
Dinh money sculpt at least tomorrow.
The verse says, people say spring to spring, then it is in the order of the world to come and go. But here he says the opposite: "Xuan past flowering flowers", ie spring flowers hundred flowers fall, then "Spring flowers bloom", ie spring to bloom flowers, similar to the meaning of this lecture. I do not say spring to spring, but to say spring and spring to. Because he was about to become president, he went away, but not gone, just like Mr. Tu Dao Hanh said "old teacher some time ago", that is also a transfer station.
Verse spring said that the flowers fall, but spring flowers to blossom not where. "The axis of the money too" is the life that passes away before, untenable. But looking back, "He put the top head," looking back, the hair on his head was silver. That is impermanance it pursues the human has never stopped, want it to stop is not.
Live in life, many people happy life, happy happy want to enjoy for long, want to pull it long, but it still passes not stop. Then we meet the sad and painful circumstances, letting it pass quickly, but it still does not go away, that is, we can not master it.
As the Buddha said, life is not self, no master. If there really is a fall, there is a master when we give it a command, this does not like to pass quickly, but this is to slow down, but not, do not like. We ourselves, too, can not master, the age is still floating, do not stop for a long time to get old, or do not die soon ... We absolutely can not order anything, The body is not self.
But many people do not understand the moral, thought that the real self and self master, so suffering it, want but not suffering. But for those who understand the religion, life is not so empty, so the Zen master said, "Mac flower spring flowers are gone," do not have said that the end of the fall flowers are lost, remember that " the most tomorrow, "the night before the yard is still tomorrow morning.
We use words that are very meaningful and very clever. I do not say that there is a bunch of apricot blossom that say there is a branch tomorrow, very good, not to use arbitrary. If it still bunches tomorrow it still falls, but say tomorrow, it still remains, then spring flowers continue to hatch, very meaningful. Thus, even in the impermanence, there is still no loss, if it is received and applied to it, is a good person. Learners must see such profound meaning, so say Death is the right meaning.
Now we need to be bright, to know the way to go, do not let faint cloud. There is a poem in The Book of Five Chapters of Tibetan Buddhism that reminds people to be smart to prepare for themselves.
I went down the street,
There was a hole in the side of the road,
I fell in there,
I am with no one.
That means I go down the street, there is a deep hole in the road, I fell into it with no end, no way to support. That is to say the dying person without preparation, the sudden death comes like falling into the pit into the nocturnal no way to support.
I went down well this path,
there is a hole deep side of the road,
I pretended not to see,
I again fell as usual,
I did not expect her right where the old one,
but that's not my fault,
It took new time to get out.
This case also went down that road, then also met deep hole in the road, but I do not see the saw should also fall down there. This case is not the case is not fall, so say I did not expect the same place, that is also dead.
I also went to the old way,
There is a deep hole in the side of the road,
I saw it was still there,
and I still fall into, it is a habit,
My eyes are still open, I know where
this is a bug in I, I immediately.
This case. Walking along that path, well down the side of the road, I saw it clearly but I still fell, it was a habit, so I had to fall down. But I see, I know is prepared. My eyes are still open, and then I know where I am, very clear-headed. It is my fault to know that I am in this place and I have to go in there, I am born here. Because I was wise, so I immediately came out, that is intellectual. Although intellectual, but not yet.
I go down the old street,
There is a hole in the side of the road,
I go through it,
I go down the other way.
Those are the true paths, the path, the path. The above case is known but can not choose the way, but here is the path. Also go to the old street, that is, born, then here is also to die. But now I go through it, that is, I have the way, that is the path to reach his path.
You see in the four paths, which path you choose? The road goes down and falls down, with no end. The way to do is ignorance do not know anything to fall down, then take time to get out, that is also a little capital. The way the eye sees so clearly knows his place, right away. And the road will pass away. There are four paths for each person to choose.
Because the path is not chosen for us, he does not choose for us, parents do not choose for us, but we have to choose, choose to go but no one to go. . That is the meaning to remember, this is no one to go for his, so people have to cleverly choose the way to go for meaningful, called clever way to go. If it is not so, then the confidence to be in peace, to have faith in the French to rely on. When we have not chosen a good path, we also have a place of refuge, have faith in France to follow the dharma, so also relative, not to fall and then to save salvation.
Just as the story of Chief Class A person, in the business he was the first Dharma protectors. He often came to hear the Buddha speak French, when he was seriously ill near the end of the Buddha's relics with relativistic Sutra Phat A Nan visit. The high priest was lying on the bed, two sorcerers sitting on the bench next to the bed, knowing he was not alive for a long time. Remus informed him: "He was a noble man, he lived a noble life. and useful for families, for society and for the teachings. During his last sermon at the Jubilee, the Buddha praised his merit. Everything that he has done throughout his life, now he should calmly listen to me and follow. "
Sariputta teaches him to meditate to prepare for death. "Doctor," he said, "you are not the same as me. The ear is not mine, my nose, my tongue, my body is not mine." This is not to let go of the tongue.
Waiting for him to contemplate, Lord Shiva continued: "You should continue to visualize as follows:" What I see is not me, what I hear is not me, what I smell is not It is me, what I taste, I touch not me. We see emotions from our senses, but here the Venerable Master teaches him to contemplate what I see, I hear, I smell is not me, this is it depends on these six doors. If I see it, I hear it, it does not die, it does not.
Later, Venerable slowly said: "You should visualize clearly like this: Eyes are nose nose tongue is not me, the sense of smell relief is not me, hear the smell touched touch Think not me too. Because if I lost one or all of those eighteen, I would not be chipping, I'm not bound and bound by those factors. " That is all that belongs to impermanence, so it lost that I did not lose. Those are the conditions, the eye for the material to see, say I see the color, if there is no color, then the sight is lost. So that view is still the cause of treatment, not really me. If it is true that I have or no color, whether there is no ceiling or ceiling, there is no scene or scene, it must also see, and this belongs to the coast of impermanence, so not true.
I said, one of these things is lost, I am still, I am not torn, bound and limited in these factors. So that the things that are not me, let go do not cling, then there is nothing to attachment, entangled.
Stop for a while and say, "You should visualize like this: This body is not me, this pain is not me, and this thought is not me. The change of body and thought does not affect me. Birth and death do not touch me, birth does not make me, death does not make me lose, I smile to know that the real me never born nor never kill. The body changes, and the pain is also impermanent. In the beginning it does not have it now, it is new born, passed time then it also lost so impermanent not me. Thoughts of thought, too, are not impermanent to me, so it does not matter to me.
Internship he smiled. Smiling means knowing the real me that has never been born, nor will it ever die. Smiling and suddenly crying, tears ran down his cheeks.
Venerable An Nan saw that, just asked: "Mr. Grace, why are you crying? Do you regret anything? Or did you contemplate unsuccessfully? " "Sir," he said. I have no regrets, because many times have heard the Buddha lecture, so today I reflect very successfully. That is a lot of training, so prepared now so easy contemplation, no difficulties at all.
"But I was moved, because for thirty-five years I was serving the Blessed One, and being close to the Venerable Masters, I have never tasted the profoundly profound teaching that I have today." He was crying that way, not sad things.
"A monk," said the monk A Nan, "the method of the eighteen distinct and the Bat Nha, the mendicants and nuns often hear the Buddha always." "Sir," he said. Please allow the layman with the Buddha to listen to understand and practice this profound teachings. "
He died that afternoon, a death is very bright. That is, he died in deep faith with the Buddha, died in peace without fear. Due to thorough and well prepared. Adhering to this body is not self, these sensations are not themselves, until these thoughts are not themselves. And then my eyes, ears, nose, and tongue are not mine, nothing is me letting go of it. Because we see it is so that when you feel sorry, so it is difficult to leave, then do not go, it is not, when dying dead line so hard to die. Thanks to such thoroughness should be gentle, go also gentle. It is there to prepare, called death in the doctrine.
These are true meanings to remind all to always remember. As Sutri Sutra reminded, that birth does not make me have, death does not make me. I smiled knowing that the true self was never born nor destroyed.
Because the world is often said to live dead, then understand life is the beginning and death is the end of life. That means death is the end, the end, life is finished. Do not think so when people living to enjoy enjoyment to die not timely, also from the concept that the creator of many karmas can not be measured.
But in Buddhism it is not so, teach the monk always remember to die, then live, not dead. It means dying this life to live the next life, this life is considered as a transition station rather than the last point, obviously so.
It is our life right now that this is the first time in our lives. Our present life is a continuation of the past. Thus, the present life is the transition station, from this station forward to the future station. If the past life does not have to die, then how to have this present life, as this present life does not die, then how to have future life. Understanding that truth, death is to live rather than the last.
But what is important is that we must die to live without regret, knowing that our death is not the end. Zen Master Tu Dao Hanh in Vietnam, when about President He verse to remind disciples:
Retry any acknowledgment hybrid rules,
Consul's goofy play marbles intermission.
Journalist pensioners before,
Graduate teacher monk.
TRANSLATION:
Farewell to fly together with the
lazy people to borrow money.
Oh! Dear disciples do not attach to the
old master of the teacher.
When he was about to be imprisoned, his disciples were sad because they had to lose their teachers, so he reminded them.
"I do not have a date to fly." Every autumn, there is no flight schedule, but no appointment that it also. Like death at the right time, it must die, not be able to date.
"Laughing people living borrowed money" People do not know the truth that life is so sad, sad, crying.
Therefore, he reminded: "Well! You do not belong to the disciples do not attach to the old teacher. "Because it was not the first time he died, but he has taught how many times like that. This time only once in how many times the teacher again. The death is now going to be again, which is the first time he died. He reminded the disciples not to attach, sad cry.
Understand that when you die do not be sad, because death is to live. And who thinks death is the end, is the last, is lost all his life so sad, sorry to cry all things, here we understand death to live do not have to worry.
So, when the Sixth Patriarch announced that he was about to be imprisoned, his disciples were crying, only God was not crying. Luu Foundation said: "Than the Spirit is good good evil, no compliment, happy sad no birth, in addition to not be." That is, the young God was so young and so called the Master, and praised the good and evil, praise, sad and happy nothing is moving, but people are not so.
"How many years in the whole mountain of religious practice? Now they are sad to care for anyone, if we do not know where to go, we know where to go, if we do not know where to go, without warning to you. They are sad because they do not know my place, if I know my place should not be sad. The sixth Patriarch of rebellion in the mountain where the religious still like the world is sad also. And what are you crying for? If you cry for me, worry for me, afraid of death I do not know where to go, then I know where to go to tell you that I go, then they cry to me is not it! That is the lack of cultivation. That is to remind people to be smart, not like people.
Because people do not know the true meaning of death, so when the death is sad to note, but understand this meaning is not sad to cry, that is to remind people to practice more. So remember, death is not the end, and death is not the end, but death is to live, that is the true meaning.
II. PREPARE FOR DEATH.
Because death is not dead, it is necessary to prepare for death, to live again. That is to prepare for death, so that when we come back to life better, it makes sense. Just like leaving your old car in a new car, you have to replace your new one with a better one.
Which would be better to replace the new car? We must prepare for the capital adequately. That is, in our present life, we must create a good life, create good deeds, prepare the capital, prepare for the good death and then live a better life, because there Prepare to replace the new car better.
If we are not prepared for it to be old, and also have no money to buy new car when it is dead and then encountered something that is very dangerous. Therefore, Mr. Han Son reincarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva has a poem remind people:
Life before too dense,
Not today,
today's poor, this
is the previous generation.
That is, he said the day before man because too foolish fool, nothing to today's level. Just as poor people are. Poverty has two: Poor in terms of money, but also poor in virtue, no merit. He said that today's poverty is the result of previous generations, ie create bad people.
Life is not here,
Life after the same,
Two sides are not boat,
Difficult to salvage difficult.
We know that this life is poor because of previous life lack capital, tu life is not here, the next life is the same, the old is good, sometimes it is not the same but also down. You say the shore like there is no boat, no previous life, no life now, the next life to take something to save me here, very dangerous, it is unprepared! Therefore, each person must be wise to prepare not to die when panic, scare and play with no fulcrum, do not know where to go is dangerous! That is not good to do good business, making the buoy to cling to this vast ocean birth is really scary fear. So, the understanding must be prepared to go ahead to go far.
There is a Tibetan master who tells people: "Learn to know how to die, that is to learn how to live. To learn how to live is to learn how to act, not only in this life but also in many lives to come. To transform ourselves real, and to be reborn as a transformed one to help others, is to truly help the world in the most powerful way. "
So, learning death is live life, what is life? That is, to learn how to act in this life, to transform ourselves into a good kamma, so that when rebirth is transformed into a good and beneficial one, it also helps help people, to build a better world, a way to live more positive.
Thus learning death is learning to live right in the present life, living the true meaning of life, to bring a peaceful death, a good transition and active life. So, learning the Buddha is not negative, there are people who say the Buddha taught only about impermanence, birth and death so sad, so negative! On the contrary, this is a way for people to live to transform their lives, but also to benefit the people around. So, it is a very positive way of living, not negative, only people who do not understand Buddhism is said to be negative. So thoroughly, then we are prepared to make life meaningful, living the meaning of life.
The Dalai Lama also said, "As a Buddhist, I consider death to be a normal thing, a reality that I accept will happen, as long as I remain in this mundane world. Knowing that death is inevitable, I see no reason to worry about it. " Buddhists are Buddhists, so you name the Buddhists is very meaningful, not trivial, he himself claims that he is a Buddhist. That is to be here is to accept that I have to die, it is something must come but not inevitable. Knowing that is unavoidable, there is no reason to fear to worry. We are afraid of death, we must die, why fear? If afraid of death, should also be afraid, also afraid to die is afraid to do? So he said there was no reason to worry about it.
"I used to think of death as changing clothes, when they were old and worn out, rather than the ultimate end." Italy says death is not the end, not death.
"Death is unpredictable, we do not know when and how it happened. So the only reasonable thing to do is to do some certain distance, before the actual death, it is the wise. That is to be sure that death is something that we must go to inevitable, forced to accept it. He said he knew it, but did not know when, when, and how. The only reasonable thing is that now each person must prepare the room, some certain points so that when the death comes, thanks to the preparation, so easy to deal with, it is wise people.
Here, we see that the religious understanding is always reminded like that, must worry about the preparation before, so that moment there is no surprise. Not prepared at all when the death comes suddenly and panic, fear of embarrassing things, like the unexpected. So right here everyone is prepared to fit, do not say that I am healthy now to next year, or dozen years to prepare too late. It is not here, prepared here, not late, preparing us to have a morally righteous death, rather than the mundane death mourning the world. That is, die for worthy of the spirit of the teacher, dying with a meaningful death.
III. LESSONS FOR DEATH.
1. There was an American woman who came to see the Tibetan teacher in New York, and when she was sitting in the room in front of him, she suddenly burst into tears, saying: "The doctor said that I only I can live for a few months, so can you help me? I'm dying, dying. In such a case, he used his comforting way to ease her grief. He said with a chuckle, he said: "That, she found in us all are dying, just a matter of time, Some people die sooner than others, that's all! "
He helped her see, dying is universal for all, not just for her. So He said that you should see everyone, everyone is dying and dying, only time is dying and dying. So, that some people die sooner than others. But who is also to die.
Because she thought she had died alone, death just imposed upon her, but here he states that death is universal for all. That is it is divided equally, each one has the share, not just anyone. Then we all worry, there are people to share their own, not personally, this person to take part, the other part, I also received a small part of it. We are also less anxious, regain some vigilance is to remember that death is divided equally. Then, he talked about death, explaining death, helping her accept death, that is his ingenious way.
In order to see the situation of the majority of people living without dying, do not worry about preparation, so suddenly face it, facing death, not self-control, loss of self-control. You should remember that although intelligence, the number one intelligence in the world can not solve it, can not save himself from death. At that time smart also can not save should be prepared, that is to have "dharma" to live, because at that moment there is no time to reason this and that.
Thus, everyone needs to be prepared, because sudden death comes when we lack preparation, when faced with death, it will be very painful, lost and calm!
2. Death preparation: As King Tran Thanh Tong Tran, as a king, but also learn meditation, there are spiritual practice, prepare. Despite all the busy things of a king, thanks to the practice of law, there is a legal basis, so when death is self-control, there is calm face to face death.
Do not think that I am busy, do not have time to cultivate, he has time, he has time, just want or not. In the diocesan inscription: When the king was sick, Tue Trung sent letter to visit, the king wrote at the end of the paper in reply:
The heat is burning sweat, the
mother still dry dry.
That is, the heat is burning this body to sweat soaked, but not to his mother. That is, he saw that the fire of impermanence, the fire of birth and death of this body so urgent, but he himself did not see anything. Called no wet to the mother, to his true man, it just burned the body only, so there is no fear.
You see a king who is very good. The king saw that death had nothing to do with him. And at the time of heavy disease, the king often knocked on the pillow, as if there is something in the interior, a moment to ask the pen to write the shelf to leave:
birth like a shirt,
death ,
From past to present,
no other way.
Man is born like a dress, dying like a naked, from the past is so. He is living dead like wearing a shirt, take off his shirt has nothing to do with him, that is calm with no fear at all. So the king found himself not dead, the fire of impermanence burned burning, burned this body of sweat, but also did not involve his true self. We see the king understand morality, see the moral and also vitality rather than speak empty, so see death as wearing a shirt, nothing to worry. It is a well-prepared death, a very meaningful death, a very dead death, so dead he is not dead!
There is a story about a spiritual practitioner. When he was about to die a few days ago, the doctor came to see if he was going to die, but the doctor hesitated to tell whether he should tell the truth. According to the doctor's experience, many patients are afraid of dying, so the look of the doctor looks serious sad. But he was like an innocent child, begging the doctor for his health. Finally, the doctor told the truth, just gently comforting: "Be careful, time has come." Speak very well. Just finished speaking, the doctor surprised his face brighten up, he said: "Really! Oh, that's good news. "At that moment, he looked up to the sky and died gently !!!
It is dying to prepare, to hear death is rejoicing, for that it is good news to soon get rid of this body. So he died not suffering, but a shining death, right meaning. These are the lessons to die, remember to die is to live, not to die, to lose, always remember that.
- Another point to remember is that death is divided equally for all, not just anyone, everyone is so and so sure. But what does not know how death will come? So, at the present time, we have to prepare far from the necessary conditions in the event of death, by the way we have to study "dharma" and "dharma" to live, ie living with dharma. It is a far away room, is to prepare, that is to create capital so that when it comes we also have the calm, although we have not really liberated completely, but there is a place to swallow, so right here Prepare to be fit.
We learn to practice, not to increase our knowledge. No matter how many people understand the practice without practice, they will not go where, if death comes as often panic. Do not think that I understand the dharma so when the death comes okay! It's not like that, because understanding is something that practice is one thing.
For example, "I'm free," it's easy to talk and anyone can say it, but it's really free. So here too, say I understand the truth is understandable, but if you have not practiced, not real life, do not often reflect and prepare yourself, then when these understandings can not be used. Because there is no time for us to remember the sutras, there is no time for us to say the truth. At that time, the karmas made their way back into the heart, making the spirit more confused. Do not prepare, also do not contemplate the practice of death, then we remember this one, then when it is about to leave this body do not know where to go, in the heart is full of fear, coordinate
Therefore, when there is preparation, the moment comes to us immediately know, do not feel strange, the mind is calm, but there is calmness is legal, we are more peaceful death. I myself was prepared to be the most important, but do not think that there are descendants to worry for me, it is not sure. If the child is sincere because of his superpowers, sometimes there is the induction; But as they do lie, or to have a reputation, sometimes more danger. At that time, you are on the other side that it is a lie for the children to blame, then you are not happy to say no more, then immediately, go to bed. Or, we die on the same date, they do not let home, then more and more. To say so to all consciousness to prepare the full moral sense, making good when gone is good.
IV. SUMMARY.
It is imperative that all people go to the inevitable death, which is a must for all who are present in this world. If so, then we have to go through life to be good, to make sense. Let's remember, this is just a relay station, not the last. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize clearly and to transfer the car for good, that is the way of learning Buddhist living, living to go through death and death to live. So die for life, not death.
As verse of Zen Master Man Giac when he was about president taught them:
Xuan past cypress flowers optimistic,
Xuan Bach flower opening,
the axis labels money too,
Lao spare head traders
Mac're spring cleaning flower optimistic take,
Dinh money sculpt at least tomorrow.
The verse says, people say spring to spring, then it is in the order of the world to come and go. But here he says the opposite: "Xuan past flowering flowers", ie spring flowers hundred flowers fall, then "Spring flowers bloom", ie spring to bloom flowers, similar to the meaning of this lecture. I do not say spring to spring, but to say spring and spring to. Because he was about to become president, he went away, but not gone, just like Mr. Tu Dao Hanh said "old teacher some time ago", that is also a transfer station.
Verse spring said that the flowers fall, but spring flowers to blossom not where. "The axis of the money too" is the life that passes away before, untenable. But looking back, "He put the top head," looking back, the hair on his head was silver. That is impermanance it pursues the human has never stopped, want it to stop is not.
Live in life, many people happy life, happy happy want to enjoy for long, want to pull it long, but it still passes not stop. Then we meet the sad and painful circumstances, letting it pass quickly, but it still does not go away, that is, we can not master it.
As the Buddha said, life is not self, no master. If there really is a fall, there is a master when we give it a command, this does not like to pass quickly, but this is to slow down, but not, do not like. We ourselves, too, can not master, the age is still floating, do not stop for a long time to get old, or do not die soon ... We absolutely can not order anything, The body is not self.
But many people do not understand the moral, thought that the real self and self master, so suffering it, want but not suffering. But for those who understand the religion, life is not so empty, so the Zen master said, "Mac flower spring flowers are gone," do not have said that the end of the fall flowers are lost, remember that " the most tomorrow, "the night before the yard is still tomorrow morning.
We use words that are very meaningful and very clever. I do not say that there is a bunch of apricot blossom that say there is a branch tomorrow, very good, not to use arbitrary. If it still bunches tomorrow it still falls, but say tomorrow, it still remains, then spring flowers continue to hatch, very meaningful. Thus, even in the impermanence, there is still no loss, if it is received and applied to it, is a good person. Learners must see such profound meaning, so say Death is the right meaning.
Now we need to be bright, to know the way to go, do not let faint cloud. There is a poem in The Book of Five Chapters of Tibetan Buddhism that reminds people to be smart to prepare for themselves.
I went down the street,
There was a hole in the side of the road,
I fell in there,
I am with no one.
That means I go down the street, there is a deep hole in the road, I fell into it with no end, no way to support. That is to say the dying person without preparation, the sudden death comes like falling into the pit into the nocturnal no way to support.
I went down well this path,
there is a hole deep side of the road,
I pretended not to see,
I again fell as usual,
I did not expect her right where the old one,
but that's not my fault,
It took new time to get out.
This case also went down that road, then also met deep hole in the road, but I do not see the saw should also fall down there. This case is not the case is not fall, so say I did not expect the same place, that is also dead.
I also went to the old way,
There is a deep hole in the side of the road,
I saw it was still there,
and I still fall into, it is a habit,
My eyes are still open, I know where
this is a bug in I, I immediately.
This case. Walking along that path, well down the side of the road, I saw it clearly but I still fell, it was a habit, so I had to fall down. But I see, I know is prepared. My eyes are still open, and then I know where I am, very clear-headed. It is my fault to know that I am in this place and I have to go in there, I am born here. Because I was wise, so I immediately came out, that is intellectual. Although intellectual, but not yet.
I go down the old street,
There is a hole in the side of the road,
I go through it,
I go down the other way.
Those are the true paths, the path, the path. The above case is known but can not choose the way, but here is the path. Also go to the old street, that is, born, then here is also to die. But now I go through it, that is, I have the way, that is the path to reach his path.
You see in the four paths, which path you choose? The road goes down and falls down, with no end. The way to do is ignorance do not know anything to fall down, then take time to get out, that is also a little capital. The way the eye sees so clearly knows his place, right away. And the road will pass away. There are four paths for each person to choose.
Because the path is not chosen for us, he does not choose for us, parents do not choose for us, but we have to choose, choose to go but no one to go. . That is the meaning to remember, this is no one to go for his, so people have to cleverly choose the way to go for meaningful, called clever way to go. If it is not so, then the confidence to be in peace, to have faith in the French to rely on. When we have not chosen a good path, we also have a place of refuge, have faith in France to follow the dharma, so also relative, not to fall and then to save salvation.
Just as the story of Chief Class A person, in the business he was the first Dharma protectors. He often came to hear the Buddha speak French, when he was seriously ill near the end of the Buddha's relics with relativistic Sutra Phat A Nan visit. The high priest was lying on the bed, two sorcerers sitting on the bench next to the bed, knowing he was not alive for a long time. Remus informed him: "He was a noble man, he lived a noble life. and useful for families, for society and for the teachings. During his last sermon at the Jubilee, the Buddha praised his merit. Everything that he has done throughout his life, now he should calmly listen to me and follow. "
Sariputta teaches him to meditate to prepare for death. "Doctor," he said, "you are not the same as me. The ear is not mine, my nose, my tongue, my body is not mine." This is not to let go of the tongue.
Waiting for him to contemplate, Lord Shiva continued: "You should continue to visualize as follows:" What I see is not me, what I hear is not me, what I smell is not It is me, what I taste, I touch not me. We see emotions from our senses, but here the Venerable Master teaches him to contemplate what I see, I hear, I smell is not me, this is it depends on these six doors. If I see it, I hear it, it does not die, it does not.
Later, Venerable slowly said: "You should visualize clearly like this: Eyes are nose nose tongue is not me, the sense of smell relief is not me, hear the smell touched touch Think not me too. Because if I lost one or all of those eighteen, I would not be chipping, I'm not bound and bound by those factors. " That is all that belongs to impermanence, so it lost that I did not lose. Those are the conditions, the eye for the material to see, say I see the color, if there is no color, then the sight is lost. So that view is still the cause of treatment, not really me. If it is true that I have or no color, whether there is no ceiling or ceiling, there is no scene or scene, it must also see, and this belongs to the coast of impermanence, so not true.
I said, one of these things is lost, I am still, I am not torn, bound and limited in these factors. So that the things that are not me, let go do not cling, then there is nothing to attachment, entangled.
Stop for a while and say, "You should visualize like this: This body is not me, this pain is not me, and this thought is not me. The change of body and thought does not affect me. Birth and death do not touch me, birth does not make me, death does not make me lose, I smile to know that the real me never born nor never kill. The body changes, and the pain is also impermanent. In the beginning it does not have it now, it is new born, passed time then it also lost so impermanent not me. Thoughts of thought, too, are not impermanent to me, so it does not matter to me.
Internship he smiled. Smiling means knowing the real me that has never been born, nor will it ever die. Smiling and suddenly crying, tears ran down his cheeks.
Venerable An Nan saw that, just asked: "Mr. Grace, why are you crying? Do you regret anything? Or did you contemplate unsuccessfully? " "Sir," he said. I have no regrets, because many times have heard the Buddha lecture, so today I reflect very successfully. That is a lot of training, so prepared now so easy contemplation, no difficulties at all.
"But I was moved, because for thirty-five years I was serving the Blessed One, and being close to the Venerable Masters, I have never tasted the profoundly profound teaching that I have today." He was crying that way, not sad things.
"A monk," said the monk A Nan, "the method of the eighteen distinct and the Bat Nha, the mendicants and nuns often hear the Buddha always." "Sir," he said. Please allow the layman with the Buddha to listen to understand and practice this profound teachings. "
He died that afternoon, a death is very bright. That is, he died in deep faith with the Buddha, died in peace without fear. Due to thorough and well prepared. Adhering to this body is not self, these sensations are not themselves, until these thoughts are not themselves. And then my eyes, ears, nose, and tongue are not mine, nothing is me letting go of it. Because we see it is so that when you feel sorry, so it is difficult to leave, then do not go, it is not, when dying dead line so hard to die. Thanks to such thoroughness should be gentle, go also gentle. It is there to prepare, called death in the doctrine.
These are true meanings to remind all to always remember. As Sutri Sutra reminded, that birth does not make me have, death does not make me. I smiled knowing that the true self was never born nor destroyed.

These are not me, so I'm ready to let it go. Also see it is me, accept it is me, keep clinging do not dare let go die hard. That is not to mention the remembrance of wealth, careers are more attached to not let go and also hard to die.
