Mahayana  Infinite Life  .

SECTION II: "HAPPINESS  OF HOPE" The  task of  the  practitioner  in the second home  follows the first. Why  lay lay people  do not bring these two  together  into one?

At the first gathering, these two works together in a single product. There  can take  references of his faculties  shamanautonomy  for authentication. In the early age  of  the assemblage,  the magician  Xu Zhou  made a sermon for him. Not only that,  magi from Chu  also brought four first teaching opportunity this episode in Jinan, then volumes total of thirty seven product distribution, not forty-eight such products  present . Perhaps the House of aging based on  Thirty-seven direct aids  that  division . Then do not stop  tu editing ,  modification . Modify to the original ten times, the entire business is divided into forty-eight products. Certainly  based on the  Forty-eight vows  of the Buddha  Amitabha . Therefore, the first product is divided into two products. 

However, why not bring the  Bodhisattva  into the first part of the product while they are the expression, why the Haeosegment  right here? You definitely  have  a  deep will. Paragraph people  at home  are divided into separate segments is to remind  us  that  the disciplines  of business  are primarily of  practitioners  at home , should not assume that only the ordained can  practice  immediately life  of Buddha , also people  home  karma  deep should have no part. Aging segment Here is to say  we should  not be  skeptical . The  layman  can be in  a lifetime  equal to  the Buddha . Teachings of  sutras, along with volunteer duties of Buddha  Amitabha  authentication are  respectively  the same. That is  the  specificwisdom of the  lay layman . So this experience authentic take people  home  ownership.

Outline of  the law of ten  six  Bodhisattva home 
Bodhisattva home  has more than ten  six , all are  Bodhisattvas  Enlightenment  embodied  in part ,  the status  of them with  Manjushri ,  Samantabhadra , Guanyin ,  Strength  not different.

In Buddhism, many  Buddha appears  apparition  Minister of  renunciation ,  Bodhisattva  largely  manifested  forms  at home . In China ,  four great painters ,  four  Bodhisattvas  are the pillars in  the Mahayana . Of the four  Bodhisattvas  only the  Bodhisattva Bodhisattva  is the  general  appearance . The reason  the Tang dynasty, Prince of Goryeo  ordained , the Mountain Nine States,  China . After this  we Knew he was the  reincarnation  of  the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha , so  create a statue  Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha  formed  minister ordained . And  Bodhisattva  Quan Yin  South Sea,  Bodhisattva Manjushri  in the  Pentagon , Russia Mi  Sichuan  Bodhisattva Pho Hien  are the  form at home . Even the  Bodhisattva Maitreya , if to Beijing to visit the supply of,  we  'll see the  Bodhisattva Maitreya  is also the form  of house . 

But the practice in  China  covering subjects  Bodhisattva Maitreya  back up  Venerable  Father Dai  forms  ordained. Venerable  Father University  appeared  in the Song Dynasty,  the era  Cao Tong Southern Song Dynasty, the  era  with Yue Fei. Before his  father the Great died , had told  everyone  that he is  the reincarnation  of  the Bodhisattva Maitreya came here. Then he immediately  passed away . In Buddhism, Buddha,  bodhisattva  incarnation  reload,  absolutely never Express  yourself . When the  body  is revealed,  it will definitely go away. If the  body  is exposed but still not go then it is false, not true. Nowadays,  we  hear that in many places there are some  sorcerers  who are reincarnated Buddhas, some  lay  people are  bodhisattvas  , and then refuse to go, so this is not  credible. ,  had exposed  parts without passing fake,  absolutely  not true. 

The number of  Bodhisattvas  to  attend  over  one thousand two thousand, this other realm,  Bodhisattva the  other  planet also  attended the  conference ,  countless  Bodhisattva boundless   in the realm of the Buddhas come to  participate inthem.  Bodhisattvas  are very crowded,  but  doing just raised ten  six . Ten  six of  this is the law,  delegate fullness . In Buddhism ,  we  have the secret. The expression in  exoteric , economic  Amida , seven  full  members , not digits. Seven east, south, west, north, upper, lower, middle, all  signify  fullness . The Huayen scriptures  use ten  full  members , not numbers. In  tantric  often used  sixteen is  the full  member , is also not a digit. The place where  the  representative representation of fullness  of  Buddhism .

So  the title  of ten  six  is also the law. We  must  note  should not miss. Ten  six  is  Bodhisattva Enlightened  home . 

The meaning  in the way of honoring the 
Chief  is the name of the  Bodhisattva . The Bodhisattva  is usually called the  Great Master . We  often call  Quan  Dai Si , Pho Hien  Dai Si . Dai Si  as well as  the chief officer , the chief is  right enlightenment ,  Awakened . Similarly  Khai officer is the General Jeet  remuneration  Minh Tam  Kien Tanh ,  we  can call them the  Declaration of officers . Thus, the  cook, Chief ,  Master  is the religion of the  Bodhisattva . Note  not called  Master . Letters of Master  Roshi  called  Grand Master ,  Grand Master  is honored to Buddha. Bodhisattva  Enlightened  can only call  the Great Master , not known as Grand Master . 

Currently  there are many  monastic  self-proclaimed  Grand Master . The vocation  is not good, the ancients called the face. We have not  become a Buddha  can not call themselves  Grand Master .

Buddha is  the guru  of heaven,  we  self-professed  master  is  too great . Bodhisattva  Guan Yin  not dare to  professors .Manjushri ,  Samantabhadra  see  Grand Master  must also  pay homage to the  three Lord, circumambulating the tricyclic organic. Do we  have such great blessings? This is a  popular routine  to  understand.

Honored person is expressed  reverence  for them, but if  exceeded  , then again  turned into  not  revered . For example we honored people, see who is called  first born  in a  reverent , but if the president called  first born  , it becomes overdone. That person is not the President that  we  call the president  first born , so there must be too flattering a manner not offensive? This is  certain  to understand. Who  ordained  too, calling them  Grand Master  also like the we  call a  normal president  first born ,  his identity  is not  suitable . Many people right up to a little  Buddhist  do not know this, said that calling  Master  is  revered  without knowing  the  true meaning , this should not.

We  called  the An Quang Dai monks  to express their  reverence  after he  died . When he was still alive, he was called the  Shou An Quang , "The  Dhammapada Master  of the Stars." After the   new president changed to "Quang Quang   Van Sao Master ". In the first years, when the new, launched without calling himself  Grand Master , in  front of  him, no one dared to call him  Grand Master , if called Master , he immediately scolded. 

Buddhism has some way  vocative  familiar . Many previous life, the  sects  proclaimed "Patriarch", which is the  patriarchs of a  sect  that. Who  translated  texts  called the  Tripitaka shaman , not proclaimed  Grand Master . Tripitaka Dharma Master  communicates the teachings , "Sutra Master"; Confirmed by the  Law of  Reconciliation "Lawyer". These vocabularies  are quite  familiar , not heard  Master . Nobody dares to use this  vocation  . Emperor 's teacher , called the teacher . In  the Flower Adornment ,  Master  Thanh Luong  is the teacher of  the emperor  also called  national teacher , do not dare to  professors .

However, only  the monk  of the  Pure Land  can claim  the Master , because he  passed through  many lifetimes  of recognition . Pure Land teaches a  person  a life equal  to Buddha , all Buddhas use   this method . We  also today use this method  advised people to  recite the Buddha ,  equality  into the Buddha , not different from the Buddha, so only  the founder of the  Pure Land Buddhism  can claim  Master . 

The mission  of guardian  and  preaching
Ten  six  chief officers  is  Bodhisattva  Enlightenment  house . They were in the same  age  as  Shakyamuni Buddha. Shrines  are the world master  Ta Ba , fifteen  Bodhisattva  Domiciles  are  remaining guests are  present  from   otherworlds . Buddha said   this  method of shaking  the  nihilism  throughout  the world of  all the realms of the Buddha.

Other sutras do not have   such power . Only  the experience  of this new  vibration  to take  nowhere  throughout  the legal world . So the ten-dimensional world natural Bodhisattva   came to the  meeting ,  supporters dignified colon .    

Bodhisattva  to the  direction of  many  immeasurable  infinity . Bodhisattvas  present themselves  as all the East, but in fact all the East not only  alone  he, as  Bodhisattva  world Saha  lot. However , the sutras only mention  the title  of the Buddha. 

Mission of  leading people  at home  as  guardian , who  ordained  the  preaching .

Dhamma practice  must also  protect the law , propaganda and  responsibility  indispensable parallel. Who  ordained  takemissionary  work, my  guardian  is only ancillary.

Now the  house  taken  guardian  is key,  preaching  just the backend. Hoang and household have to  shoulder . In shouldering  have divided  all visitors ,  the four  practitioners must  cooperate  closely  , the  Dharma  can cylindrical  world,  benefit  all beings . 

Today in  Buddhism  is not solidarity,  human  financial resources  are all dispersed,  losses  extremely  strong for all beings. Who  genuinely  are interested, want to bring  Buddhism  popular  everywhere,  universal beings  charming  , you can use the method  to unite. Set  mid human  resources,  financial and human  new  success , because people who are now dispersed,  the power  split, doing whatever was  limited ,  manpower ,  financial resources not enough,  extremely regrettable, "the force of the heart". So here the Buddha put the  Bodhisattva  Hien Player  in  the  first place to remind  us. 

"Hien" speaks of virtue, of  wisdom , of virtue. "Household" means  guardian ,  upholding  Dharma .

The virtue  of  Dharma  and the  Dharma  is the same. It can even be said that the work of  the Dharma is  beyond the teachings . Try to think of details,  the talents of  propagation is  not without,  at home , the  family  is very many,  four disciples  if you want to  spread the Buddhist teachings  can do. The difficulty is only that  we  have  guardian  effectively or not. Just have a  guardian  effective  immediately they can  accomplish  some things. If there are many guardian  , the career  missionary  decided not in Buddhas,  monks great bodhisattvas  manifest  made. So  the merits  of  the dharma can not think.

Myself  I have personally experienced. When I was young, I was in the association of old school teacher Ly Bong  , studying  business . After finishing school,  if I do not  meet the Chief Han, who  reborn last  year, without the  maintenance from her, even if I have the capacity  can not do anything. If there  is no  protector  , perhaps in the  end  I only have two ways  to go, one is  the road of  business , but do not commit to the  business of the Buddhist monks  are  discontinued .Only two  roads, there is no other way. She has  the heart , find all the way, no  director colonel  rent the place for each week I  lecture , thirty years without  interruption . Each week I lecture  at least  five days, when many, seven days, thirty years  continuous  on the lecture. In fact  , there are many who preach better than me but have no  protector . Or said another way, they do not have the opportunity to practice on the ambo, their staff and assets were also  oblivion , unable to  evolve , it is  extremely  regrettable.

We  spread the law  to   international scope is  fate . When  teaching experience  in Taipei, with some  householders officers in Hong Kong earlier had heard me preach "Prussian  prevailing  prayer the" eight days in the temple  Thien Dao , listening very  joyful , until  accidentally  met in  Taiwan , They  asked  me to come to Hong Kong. I have to be  the French coast  with Hong Kong through three entrances. Every year Ms. Lei invited. For almost ten years from 1977 to 1987, every year I came to Hong Kong twice,  time The longest in Hong Kong is four months, the shortest is no less than one month.After Lei  rebirth  , there was no other invite, the coast was broken. Therefore, there is no  legal guardian ,  we  want to propagate the law  also have no chance, such as know   how big French defense  . Without  legal protection , people in that direction do not have the  opportunity to hear the law . There are  legal guardians who  invite the  magician  to  teach business , people in the local  benefit , so  the merits  of  the French dharma  beyond the merit  The  teacher's  teaching business  practice  many times. 

In 1987, I  lectured  in Hong Kong, there were three  laypeople  in Singapore after listening to the lecture very  happy , definitely  want to drag me to Singapore. Before that I never came to this country. Thanks to the three  legal guardians  , I first came to Singapore for ten days. I preached three times in the temple  Song Lam ,  once  in  layman  Lam, and twice in Youth  preaching . Group  preaching  then  ashrams  old, very beautiful scenery. Thanks to the lecture many times, I  was attached  to fellow initiates here,  acquainted  with  lay people Li Jimo. Every year,  lay  Li found me. In the second year, he was the head of mission delegation . When the delegation has finished, he again invited. I immediately lectured  the  Infinite Life Tho . Later, he came to  layman Lam to do justice, I also came to  layman  Lam. Each year I lecture at  his invitation  .Try asking,  if not  with him, who will invite me to preach? 

Wherever  teaching experience  on the  world ,  Buddhism  can open or not, all thanks to the  powerful  by a two  guardian .They  genuinely  create  merit , as they build schools principal, open salon boss,  we  are doing so they invited. So the French  is the owner, the owner  of  a teacher ,  the infinite  limitless . In  ancient times ,  guardianship was given  by the abbots  of the  monasteries . Dummy  is One teacher  ,  the  main monastery is the school. Abbot  is like the principal,  may not  lecture , not speak French, but  invite  the teacher  to  lecture . Abbot  is preaching household  responsibilities  that exceed  the responsibility  of  preaching . They focus most on  the legal protection , without their  maintenance , the Dharma  can not  often  in  the world . 

Today  we  from  the title of  Bodhisattva  present themselves  to understand  the merit  of guardian  inconceivable. We must learn guardian , wholeheartedly  determined ,  especially  for  mages  young, if  we  are not  upholding the  powerful  , then how they can grow up , how can  become  shamans  propagate Buddhism legal  exhausted  a lifetime .

The   most important masters of the sutras are the  training  on the podium, so they have to help them on the podium every day. That is the method that  drives  them. As  shamans  children, if  people  like listening, listening  teaching experience  , the taste  shaman  children had to preach every day, every day without sleep,  certainly  will  succeed . If there is  no French  protector  inviting them to  lecture , even though they learn well, after three months will also forget, after six months will not be able to podium. Legal protection  is very important,  guardian Achievement  of the magician , can make  the Dharma  permanent  permanently . 

Things to  note  when operating  guardian
of your  mage  ordained , the future have the opportunity to do  abbot  must be thorough. Abbot  must do the work of  Hien Ho , must know the ceremony  of the wizard . Invite  the wizard  ? Shamans  must  corresponds  with duty concrete practice  of  mass  initiates are  able to achieve  are  benefits  truth . If the  study  of taste  shaman  differs from the teachings  of  our,  the story is different,  so  should not invite. The ancient people often said, "It is a thousand rivers, not dare to stir up the mind," this place has chosen the  method of Buddhist recitation ,  specializing in teaching  has  achieved certain , if I come here, ,  the pure mental disturbance   of the  practitioner , elaborate disturbance  ,  sabotage practice , not only have no  merit  but also errors. But for  magicians ,  we  must  respectfully offerings  same. 

When he was young, ten years old and  lay  Ly Binh Nam , I often  observe  old  lay  in Taichung preaching households totals . Shamans  elsewhere  to Taichung, old Ly Binh  Le Mao  respectful , attentive to the station  to meet with  welcome , he personally brought to  ashrams , toward  magicians  prostrated  offerings , also at a party  entertained , invite  the magician to  eat rice. But from start to finish did not invite  shamans  preaching open market. I  observed for  a long time, feel  strange, should ask: "Teacher, why do not you see them invited to lecture? Teaching  is  not  possible because there is not a  long time  , but should explain to everyone? He  smiled and  said, "I do not understand   this doctrine , this magus  is  meditating , the   other magician is  studying ,  their ideal is  not like  us . We  here are not easily led  people to believe in the practice of  Pure ,  honest  nianfo the birth of the  West . When they preach well on  Zen  or Confucianism, the  body of the Buddha  , the people here  immediately  fluctuate.

Proverbs  say very good "Venerable outside  chanting  good", each day together nothing new, from  other places  will be rare. Perseverance  persistence every day teaching,  time  total to about ten years, but people outside to just a few hours can still  be dragged  practitioners  away. What is  the cause  ? Government do  we  not have to, no-favored, no  ability  to distinguish , as he heard that one or mind immediately is  oscillating , the main results  we  are  disadvantaged . So  old teacher The right  to defend  ,  preserve the mass  of  the colon  ,  the right view ,  keeping the  mind pure for  the public , definitely  can not invite others to lecture. 

Those who can go to lecture are the   monks who practice  Pure Land ,  sincerely  recite the Buddha .  Such masters , when coming to Taichung, he   must  definitely invite to  lecture. Even  if not  to the same school a  practice  with  us , not together  according  Pure  three seizures,  certain  uninvited. This is not a discriminating mind  , but here  we have  to learn, it is a genuine expert who   has the  wisdom  of maintaining  the dharma of the  mass . Him  they now  genuinely  do,  moralis  we  do not  can not  understand. So the  head of  a  colon , that is the eye of the  mass  in  the colon . We  lead , the people behind  us . The  guides  who go wrong, these people all go wrong, so the  guide  should be  responsible . The road to go  certain  to pure chief, decided not to  mistake,  In addition also to the protection of people  elsewhere  to confuse.Now there are many  ashrams  honest  with  faith ,  prayer power , but the "believers pray" This  permanent  or not, not seen. If you meet some people say a sweet words, many people in the  mass  will  move ,  followed by  them. 

I just said this to the  layman  Li Jimo. Moc Nguyen raised a reasonable  example , he said, "The people that come to the end of the fish  we have  taken". Examples  of this very  meaningful ,  ashrams  of  us  like fish pond. Initiates  we  are like small fish, those that come for fishing, the  guardian  must be prohibited. So to  recognize  clearly , initiates must also protect  views . Pure tone  we  are not together the  study , virtue and concentric copper  practitioners This subject,  we also  hope  the future of the  Pure Land , together in  the  Union of Lies . Faith  prayer mind  certain not  oscillate ,  human financial resources , all  power  must be concentrated to  lay  Lam, a  VTP  old has more than sixty years of  history . 

Not me  praising  layman  Ly Moc Highlands that  people  will  recognize  him as  the Bodhisattva  reload, not ordinary people. He never got little attention to privacy,  reputation  avaricious ,  five sex  six ceiling  were all  let go ,  start the mindwork concept  acts  jobs  are due to  Buddhism , because  beings . Such a  leader,  such a  good intellectual  , I go through many other national areas   , see a lot of  director but never seen. So  when he came to find, I  could not help but  agree. As well as investment  purchases , if having good boss, have  direct means , not to the fault with him. If you have privacy, purpose , intrigue, I  definitely  do not see. Purely  because of  Buddhism , as  living beings , because pacifying  society , the hope  for peace  average  world ,  wish  pure greatness so, if  we  do not read every bit of strength Minor to help is also at fault for  directed colon and at fault with the  mass  society . 

Layman  Li Moc Nguyen had  leaders ,  especially  three years  recently  established  classes  fostering  shaman  young, he had to find I share  the wish  of this. Therefore I must let go of temporary work  preaching  of the  ashrams  other, they all stopped, wholeheartedly  determined  to help the  shaman  young. That's the obligation that I'm making.

But we  need  the principal,  we  just go to work, as teachers. I had grown up age,  Dharma  given  to someone after  the next  , the new  money map ,  beings  are blessed. It was time for me to hand over, the task of propagating  profits  must be given to   young wizards . When they can get back, I retire.

Where to retire? Of course,  the world of Ultimate Bliss . The work was done, "Jobs done, pay not received". His last years, we have  only one job is to teach, write books and help post-school, which is  responsible for  the final as well as the largest, the two words  they now  can do is  fullness ,  the true  reality . 

Title Bodhisattva they now  function very deep very broad sense,  we  must study  the Bodhisattvas present themselves from  the title of  his, ensuring they now applied  on its lead role, so yourself as  they now chief officer .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.22/11/2017.
