I. INTRODUCTION
I believe this is the first time that the Huayen Flower was preached in the United States and you were the first to hear it. Currently due to limited time, we can not explain the details. Why? If the lecture is too lenient, it is afraid that in six weeks only lecture title is not finished, so that can only present briefly. At first I will talk about the origin of this sutra.
In Buddhist scriptures, this Flower Adornment is the king of the sutras, also the king of the kings. The Lotus Sutra is also the king in the suttas but can not be called a king in the kings. Ministry of Economics University Phuong Quang Buddhist Hoa Nghiem this respect is the king of kings, is a business belonging to the Mahayana longest Buddha preached, but time Buddhist economic theory is not very long, Buddha Sakyamuni said This flower is only twenty-one days.
There are eighty-one volumes, there are only forty or sixty, but not all. Even this eighty-one book, too, is composed of all three parts, the Master and the Master.
After Buddha Shakyamuni finished the Flower Adornment , this sutra was not handed down in the world, nor did India have this sutra. Then this business has been asked? Been to Long Vuong Long Palace to offer day worship offerings.
After Buddha Shakyamuni died six hundred years, there is a Bodhisattva named Long Tho, brilliant intelligence, no one compares. He has read all the literature, talk, scriptures on the world, so the Bodhisattva initiated minds to Long to see the organs of the Sutra and he found this Flower Sutra in the dragon. Hoa Nghiem has three copies: upper, middle and lower. The upper ten have the world's natural elephant with the number of shelves. How much do you think? The mote of a world is infinite, then the mote of the great world is more abundant.
What is the world called? A mountain Tu-di, a sun, a moon is a world; a thousand mountains Tu-di, a thousand suns, a thousand moon combined into a small earthquake; one thousand minor world is called a world center; a thousand world centers called a world paradise. The mote in a great cosmic world is an inexplicable infinity. Now the number of shelves as much as the number of moths in the world's thirteenth heaven is even more can not count.
The upper Avatamsaka how many products? The upper is numbered by the mote of a galaxy. "One of the four worlds" means: "one" means a mountain Tu-di, "four" is four major continents (Dong Thang Than Chau, Nam Thiem Eu, Tay Nua Hoa Chau, Bac Cau). Together is called a quasque. The number of flowers of the Hua Sutra is as much as the number of mothers of the earth, what do you say? I do not count. The Chinese market Huayan four hundred and nineteen eight thousand eight hundred verse, divided into one thousand two hundred. The lower the Flower Adornment eighty verses, divided into forty-eight products.The memory capacity of the Nagarjuna Bodhisattva is very extraordinary, he recited the Sun. and after returning to India copied the whole, then back from India to China. There are only eighty volumes, thirty nine, and nine are still not transmitted.
Sakyamuni Buddha teaches the Flower Adornment in seven different places, a total of nine conference. If you can understand the meaning in this Flower Adornment, it is possible to see the whole body of the Buddha; If you clear the Shurangama is to see the Buddha's humble summit; If you understand the Lotus Sutra , you will see the Buddha, but not yet complete; If you can understand the principles of the Lotus Sutra , you will be able to see the whole body and your insight.
This Flower Adornment is like a big sea, while other sutras are like small rivers. Small rivers can not match the big sea. At present in the world, the person who can teach the Huayen Flower Sutra is not without, but less is less. If we say no, are not we teaching now?Why can not say there are no people! Even someone who has studied the Dharma, learned a lifetime that even the name of the Lotus Sutra has not heard, say how pitiful that person is!This series of Flower Adornment is not to say that only read through the very few people read it once. Reading the fastest time also takes twenty-one days. Therefore, this business is very difficult to meet.
Talk about the "Assembly of the Assembly" of this business, there is a verse like this:
Leaving the origin-Bodhi-Tha-multiThree, four Dao-interest with Da-maPho Quang Minh electricity is two, seven and eightTha Hoa, the Last Five, the last six.
Buddha in the Bodhisattva direction, ie in the Bodhi tree that speaks the first Flower Adornment , including six products, eleven books; Second Assembly in Pho Quang Minh speaks six products, four books; Third in the sky of Dao-profit speak six products, three volumes; Fourth heaven in Da-da speak four products, three volumes; Fifth Assembly in the heavenly Sayings of the Three Books, twelve volumes; Sixth in the heaven of Tha Hoa speaks one, six volumes; The seventh delegation returned to power Pho Quang Minh said eleven products, thirteen books; The eighth was also at Pho Quang Minh, speaking of one, seven;The ninth festival in the forest said a twenty-one volume. Nowadays, it can be called a grave site, where the bones of the dead are located. That is about the "Assembly of the Assembly" of the lower.
The Sutra originally contained thirty-nine articles, forty-four thousand and five hundred verses, later transmitted to China, but there are nine products, five thousand and five thousand verses have not been transmitted. Although this book is not complete, but also complete the Title, Main and circulation, so that Thanh Luong Duong Dynasty when propagating Huayen Buddhism has said that this can be said to be temporary.
Thanh Luong is the reincarnation of Bodhisattva Flower Adornment, why say He is the incarnation of Bodhisattva Flower Adornment? Because he specializes in teaching Flower Adornment, do not preach other sutras. Thanh Luong's name is Chenchuan, the Great Self, the Mercenary, the Xiahou. Born in the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, the reign of Khai Nguyen (713-741) in Ma Dan (738). His body was nine feet four inches long, his arms over his knees and forty teeth. Usually we have thirty teeth, and forty teeth are ours, who are so few.Buddha's teeth are forty-two, while Thanh Luong has forty; In the darkness, his eyes are as bright as light, his eyes are light, and the day is like ordinary people, only his eye contact is still standing still. In the fourth year, Kien Trung, he finished writing Hoa Nghiem St Sao ; This star is the commentary for the Flower Adornment Sutra most famous.
Before writing the Star , he prayed to the Bodhisattvas in Huayan Hai Assembly. "Gia" is to help him. One evening, he dreamed that the top of the mountain turns into gold. When he was dreaming, he knew it was the illusion of change. From then on, he wrote Hoa Nghiem Sao Sao extremely favorable , no need to try to reflect at all. Usually when writing, most of us have to think to write each sentence word by word. And you do not have to think, write as fast as copy the article. Over the course of four years, he completely annotated the Flower Adornment Sutra. When he finished writing, he dreamed again, not sure if it was a dream or not, but he saw a scene like this should be temporarily called a dream. His dream is to turn into a dragon, then from the dragon turned into thousands, thousands of thousand, countless boundless dragon like that, flying to other worlds. That is, he saw the realm of Huayen.Everyone thinks that it symbolizes the meaning of circulation.
Thanh Luong lived through two Sui and Duong families with nine dynasties, as master of seven emperors. After the death of the monk, an Indian monk arrived in China, in the midst of that he met two blue-eyed pupils, the monk who had attained Arahantship, and he blocked the two pupils from above. Now ask again:
- Where are you two?
I said,
- We came to China to propose the teeth of the Bodhisattva Huayen on electrical charcoal in India offered.
After arriving in China, the Dalai Lama told the king about the two pupils' request for Huayen Bodhisattva, apparently for Thanh Luong. So the king for the installation of the National Association of teachers suddenly found that lost a tooth. These phenomena are untouchable. You see! Bodhisattva Huayen came to China, so Thanh Luong National has a special appearance like that.
Based on the division of National Teacher Thanh Luong Flower Adornment , the first five volumes are Title, fifty five and half in the middle is the main tone, nineteen and half after the circulation. Although the text is not fully translated into Han, but the Title, the section, the Main section is full. Those who propagate the Flower Adornment in China are all great Bodhisattvas, if not the realm of the Bodhisattva, they can not preach the Lotus Sutra .Huayang Mausoleum is extremely miraculous, is the magic in the magic, is the mysterious in the mysterious.
II. INTERPRETATION OF A NAME
Enter Immaturity Pratice Pride.
Before listening to the sutras, it is first necessary to realize that it is the Mahayana or Hinayana sutras. Referring to Mahayana and Hinayana, I will tell you a story today.
In India, there is a Bodhisattva named Bodhisattva, also known as Bodhisattva, who has his brother is the Bodhisattva Infinite. Infinite Universe according to Mahayana teachings, Bodhisattva Bodhisattva due to good conditions, so he followed the Hinayana and study according to the teachings of the sect. Bodhisattva Venerable very clever, Bodhisattva Infinite, his brother, always want to find the way you believe in the Mahayana, but still no power to make my brother believe. His children always praised Hinayana and said Mahayana is not true.Then, Bodhisattva thought of a way: he pretended to be sick and sent a message to the younger brother said: "He is old, sick again, if you do not visit, then you do not The opportunity to meet again. When they heard this, they came to him. Bodhisattva Ascension said:
- You are about to die, the Mahayana scriptures that you have learned, you can arbitrarily see, if you have the ability to see, even death can be relieved to close his eyes.
Bodhisattva visiting him also has nothing to do; So he took the Mahayana Book to see.Do you see the sutras you know? That is the Sutra Flower Adornment This.
The more Bodhisattva Bodhisattva sees the inability to think, know that the realm Flower Adornment It is not possible to use expressive words. Like the sun in the air across the universe, like the screen of the Great Lord King of the United States each hole in each other. By that time he knew before that he was wrong, shouted:
-Give me a sword!
-Need to protect to rust? Next person asked.
-I want to cut my tongue.
-Why do you want to cut your tongue?
- I used this tongue to praise the Hinayana, the destruction of the Mahayana scriptures, it is a great sin, so I want to cut the tongue to sin.
As before,
-Don't be so!
My brother resolutely:
-Why do you know? Since the sin of this tongue is so great, I must cut it off.
The gentleman:
-I do not care if I fall down to the ground, if you want to stand up to rely on the land right? I can not fall to the ground without standing up, when you want to get up, just use your hands against the ground to stand up. In the past, I used the tongue to praise the Hinayana, to renounce the Mahayana, so today I can also use the three-inch tongue to praise Mahayana.
He also said that the Bodhisattva should not cut his tongue anymore. After that, he went to the mountain of spiritual practice, learning the Mahayana sutras, before the work of the Ten Commandments . On the set of Logs completed, earth tremors, and his mouth also emitted aura. At that time, the King visited him, asked:
Did he attain Arahantship?
-No, I did not attain Arahantship, the Bodhisattva replied.
-If no evidence of Arahantship, why the earth shakes and mouths emit aura?
- Because at the time I was studying Hinayana, Mahayana, I changed to Kinh Flower Adornment , in front of the set of Logic , this essay has been completed, so the earth tremors and my mouth emit aura, not due to new fruit phenomenon this phenomenon.
King surprise:
-It is because of Kinh Flower Adornment This is so magical!
Entrusting Immaturity : This means the attainment of this unconditioned liberation, which can not be realized with consciousness. Because there is no realm of liberation, there is no realm of liberation. Then why say "liberation of the realm"? The "realm" is just one example, which basically does not have this type of realm, because when it comes to liberation, there is no such thing as liberation.
Hypocrisy Hymns : " Universalism ": Direction throughout the universe called Prussia; Germans with the highest saint called Hien (Dao universal universe write , the most holy saint) . His teachings spread throughout the universe, his virtues are similar to the highest saint. "Happiness": "Happiness" is the great happiness that He is practicing; "Vow" is the wish that he invokes. The desire that Bodhisattva Phat Hien emitted while practicing is very great, so it should be called Great Expenditure of the Bodhisattva.
In Buddhism there are four great Bodhisattvas: Bodhisattva Manjushri is the most intelligent in the Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva Teradata is the first vow, Bodhisattva Quan Yin is the most compassionate , Bodhisattva Samantabhadra is the first discipline. Phat Buddha sermon is the disciple asked him to speak French. The World of Tibetan ( 1 ) takes the Sutra Flower Adornment As the master, the stand out of the business theory is the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra. The Lotus Sutra by Mr. Xa-benefit-phat, the Surangama Sutra by the author A-nan theory. The people who call the law, they are called, they are the basis of the business Flower Adornment is the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra.
III. EXPLANATION OF TRANSLATORS
Life of Tang, Tan Tan, Tam Dao Buddhist Bat Nha shameless projection.
The first eighty copies of this Huayen work are the true sorcerer. Real-rub-nan-momentum ( Siksananda) is transliterated Sanskrit, translated as Joy Learning , means joyful learning. He translated the Flower Adornment Sutra from Sanskrit to Chinese , then he explained; k hi lecture to the "digital world as mote" [ 2 ] lecture hall where he preached and the land was shaken.
Also, when He started/catch In the translation of the Flower Adornment, the Road Tac Thien Vo, also called Thien Hau, dreamed of rain rain road. On the next day, it was raining heavily, and the rain water was sweet, which symbolizes the translation of the Flower Adornment Sutra, which is extremely important; Therefore, after the translation is complete, at the lecture, the earthquake "six seismic shock " (earthquake vibration) [3] . So, Wu Tac Thien received a letter, praising the merits of the real-sorcery Nan-nan-da. Therefore, the inviolable realms of the Flower Adornment are many, many. Much! One language, one word hard to say.
This product is the Prajna Martial Law ( Prajna ) in the country of Keunjun show in the road . Kei ( Kubha ) is the name of a country ( presently Kashmir ) ; Tripitaka (Tripitaka ) is the Sutra, the Vinaya, the Abhidhamma. The sutra is for all sutras, the law is precepts, the sermon is the discourse. The interpreter of this text is the Dharma Master, the name Bat-elegant. "Mage" means "dharma lawyer", taking the Dharma teachers; This also means "legal practitioners", bringing the Buddha Dharma to everyone. "Bat-elegant" is Sanskrit, translation is wisdom. Why not directly translate the word Bat-elegant to Chinese but keep the sound Bat-elegant? Because the bowl-elegant letters are "respect should not translate", is one of five categories according to the principle of non-translated [ 4 ] .
"Yes shining" : follow the decree of the emperor translated this Sutra from Sanskrit to Chinese.

[ 3 ] Shockwave series, also known as Shockwaves, Shock Resurrection: six shaken generals of the ground. According to business Flower Adornment 16 (the New translation), the six generals are dynamic, start, brave, shock, and hit. "Dynamic" is the movement of restlessness, "kickoff" is from low to high gradually, "dough" is suddenly jumped, these three things only for the form of seismic. "Chan" is the sound of the echoes, the "trumpet" is the strong roar of the animals, "click" is the sound of rumbling, these three just sound the seismic. "Figure" (form) and "bar" (sound) each have a kind, called shaking.
[ 4 ] Five reasons for not interpreting (Five Kinds of No Interpreting - Han: Five Sentences, 五種 不 翻 ):
1. Secrets do not translate (Secret non-session): Because the confidentiality, mystery, deep meaning of the name, sound secret, should not translate.For example: da-ni-ni
2. Many meanings do not translate: A word contains many meanings, can not use a meaning to translate, so only transliteration. Example: Silver-old-age (with six meanings) ...
3. There is no translation ( Try the estate version): In this place there is no, or c evil t yeah that means far l sir e stain i v ớ i ng UO i China; toverload c is the name of fun v é t, tree c o and qu dependence th ầ n e all exposed Especially ệ t c tempering a  n e o nh u ng far l sir e stain i v ớ i China should not translate .

4. According to the ancient translation (Non-session pros): As usual from the past, should not translate. For example: A-nanda-la-tam-tam-Bodhi is not impossible to translate, but since the East Han back, translators are left vowel, because they want to keep the way. The old man should not translate.
5. Respect not translated (Solemn session): Because want to give people the concept of respect, should not translate. For example: Shakyamuni, Bat-elegant ...
IV. MAIN INTERPRETATION
At that time he Samantabhadra e ại Bodhisattva wins praise merits of ememories Tathagata then, he told the Bodhisattva and disasters that: "Hey Good son! The merit of the Tathagata, assuming for all e the Buddha in the ten directions, through fate much like c Australia because the ceiling in the impossibility theory impossibility theory buddhaland forum say incessantly, could not complete it all. "
At the time of Brahma-Bodhisattva Mahatma Gad-glory as Lai won the merit. Boats bodhisattva up good language. Compassionate men. As Lai merit. Assuming the cross necessarily the Buddha. Unimaginable Buddhist theory can not be very close to life. Speech continuity. Impossible end.
B à y now: At the moment, that is right at the front had finished speaking.
He Samantabhadra e n the Bodhisattva : Bodhisattva Samantabhadra this pervading the universe virtue, merit higher copper holy comparator (Director variable universe write Pho Hien Duc nearby sacred writing). "Bodhisattva" is Sanskrit, enough to say is "Bodhisattva" (Bodhisattva). "Bo" means the sense; "Slap" that is charming. "Bodhisattva" is the "sense of being" means capable of making all sentient beings enlightened beings. What is called affection? All sentient beings are called sentient beings. If Jerry asks if the flowers are innocent, why is there life? This question is very good, now I will preface through.
The flowers are unintentional but they are counted. What counts? Have birth. What is birth? "Biology" refers to "human" (仁 life-energy of Confucianism. "Human" is the "count", or may be called the director, can also say is the mother of all things. Do we have this "human"?Of course, if the person without the "person" is not called a person. What do you call a person? Whatever you call it. Because there are "people" should be called humans; Should the "press" is the one who, when people together (integrity) is the one humanity (仁 life-energy, life-nature ) does, it is called religion (仁者人也,合而言之為道 Human personality, compassionate language . This is the Way.
All plants and trees also have this "human". You see that the plants have life, when they spring to spring buds bloom, and bloom, this is because they are "human". Flowers, plants are not only human but also have the ability to feel but very poor. This "personality" is where the flowers are so small, so when you prune flowers they emit sound, the sound of fear, only we do not hear, but if applied scientific means we can hear it, this is a very common phenomenon. Why are they sounding? It is because they are also, in fact, their incompleteness, they have only a few. I give a example. If we have a 100-pound weight, the nature of the flower is less than 1 ounce, it's just a little hairy. But this is just a example, Do not tell the truth and say, "The sorcerer says the human nature weighs a hundred pounds."No, you should not be mistaken! Why grass flowers are also calculated? Why do plants and flowers go through a long period of time? Because of their long growing time, they have a kind of feeling. In China there are cases of chapters[1] gender requirements and the fruit tree[2] gender. Why can they accept sex? If they say they have no knowledge, how can they turn into people to go to the world? Is not that so contradictory? Actually, there is no contradiction, because you do not know this realm, so it is contradictory. If you know it, it will be very normal. Because they live with the people in this world for a long time, old age, experience also many, long months will form human like, is also the "human". There are people (仁) then there will be emotion, there is emotion would also want to accept the world. Before accepting the world, because it does not know it has done many bad things, then know the previous job is wrong, so that it wants to accept the world, even want to go home.
Bodhisattva Samantabhadra taught all beings, not just goods of charming that all floral plants of the genus accidentally He also are degrees of all, make charming and unknowingly share the member States of location [3 ] , the Buddha, should be called "Samantabhadra." He also wanted to turn all the flowers and plants into trees; How great, how great! Normally we only know the human nature, the species of life, and the bodhisattva want to reach even the non-living species. The words "Bodhisattva" can be interpreted as "sentient beings with large minds [4] ". Because the Bodhisattva is also a sentient being, not through his vast spirituality;Bodhisattva also called "publicity [5]"Because the Bodhisatta does anything publicly, there is no selfish mind, no self-centered mind, no jealous heart, no mind barrier.
"Great Bodhisattva [6] " is the great Bodhisattva. Pratatta is a great Bodhisattva in the Bodhisattva, not a small Bodhisattva. Then who is the little Bodhisattva? Bodhisattva is the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva is new, the Bodhisattva has developed Bodhi mind has long been the Bodhisattva. Like the newly acquired Bodhisattva precepts, the little Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva who has long been able to rely on the practice, it is the great Bodhisattva, spent three hundred years, five hundred Year will become a senior Bodhisattva, a Bodhisattva.
Praise the e memories of Tathagata wins then: Bodhisattva Samantabhadra profess positive merit praise of the Tathagata up wins. What is called glory ? Confession is called, the Buddha, the Sun. Glory is praise, praise; praising the merits of the victory of the Tathagata. What is Tathagata?To Tathagata is one of the ten signs of the Buddha. So many Buddhas have so many titles, because the title is so hard to remember, so reduce the remaining ten thousand titles, but a thousand titles are not easy to remember so reduced to a thousand titles, a thousand titles are still many, not easy to remember, so reduced to a hundred titles. Due to the poor memory of the living beings, one hundred titles are still unrecognizable, so it is reduced to ten titles. "Tathagata" is one of the ten titles of the Buddha."As" means not moving, is static; "Lai" means moving. So "Tathagata" means in the static, in the dynamic is static. As Lai means " as good as true, hybrid into the Enlightenment. "Thua as the true Way (to rely on the Way), it is static; "Hybridization into the Enlightenment (to become Right Enlightenment)", that is dynamic. Although the name is still static, but on the nature of the Buddha is not moving, not static, dynamic and static two, dynamic is static, static is also dynamic. Why say that? Because the dynamic is from the static that generated, static from the dynamic that is present, should speak static static two. That is called Tathagata.
In front of the Bodhisattva Universal Hien praised the virtue of the Tathagata is meritorious over all, all the merit can not keep up, can not be equal, the merits of the Tathagata not forever , the same lecture is not the same. Although not say, not lecture but Bodhisattvas Universal Hien still use his great vows to praise the special merit of this Tathagata.
What is called merit ? Cong, you need to make a new one; You need to create a new one. What is striking? For example, in a school there is a very dedicated professor, in addition to the official salary, the professor does a lot of work for the school beyond his duties, which is called public. Germany is good for everyone, helping people without asking. It is as if you give someone five thousand dollars that you have no desire for anything in the five thousand dollars. Looking back later that person can pay back fifty thousand, if you start such a mind is not virtue. Do not ask for the answer, treat people well do not expect people to respond, nor hope they treat him kindly, that is virtue.
Germany has divided into great virtue and virtue, but do not have to say if you create a great virtue, and little virtue is not necessary. What is called the virtue? Often it is work that only gives a small benefit to people, although the benefits to people very little and although there is less should also do. You do a lot of such virtue accumulation also become big; If you do not, then you can not have virtue forever. Should say: "Dao is the main [7] , the direct is to practice, can not just say the word on the tongue, from morning to night to think of cultivation but never to practice it. Called "meditation tongue [8], " has no effect. Likewise, virtue must also be created; if you do not, then there is no virtue. So say "Practice is the practice, not practice, then how to direct? Germany is to create, not create, how virtuous? " . Do not like Hybrid can not agree with the same.
Worship the Bodhisattva and Thien Tai: After the Bodhisattva Plainspirit praised the merits of the Tathagata, He told the infinite number of Bodhisattvas in the chapel Huayen and Charity Tai Tu. " Bodhisattvas ": may be many, may be very little Bodhisattva. Because the word "chut" can also be explained as many, can also be a lecture. This "word" if the word aid is a help from the language of speech help; "Can," can also be a teacher, a Bodhisattva. If based on the meaning of "many" many are the "letter", is also a lot, many Bodhisattvas. The end "here" means less or more? In this Huayi Flower Festival can not speak with the meaning of "one", can not say is a Bodhisattva. Why? Because the Bodhisattva in the Flower Festival is more numerous.
Thien Tong Tai Tu is a little boy, but has a great spirit, the magic power of Thien Tai is impossible. Shih Tzu has fifty teachers, and because there are fifty three teachers, the influence on Chinese Buddhism is very complex. How complex? There are a number of Buddhists imitating the Tai-Tzu virtuosity. "There are fifty-three good teachers who have a minimum of ten, twenty, or thirty teachers, so it's not like that. too much". Such behavior is very superstitious, extremely wrong! In the past, I strongly opposed this idea, not because of the fear that our disciples would worship others as teachers, but because this is the worst form of Buddhist practice.
Someone said: "Good Fortune Teller has fifty three teachers, why is not the Worst One is not the worst? The Chinese go to worship thirty, forty people as the teacher is the worst? "What is the truth of it, the cause of financial solidarity has fifty-three teachers by the first teacher of the second school tutor Tai Bai to master; is a teacher of Thien Tai, but not Thien Tai heard this person, the other has virtue, there is practice, then also not with the teacher, sneaky secretly run to other places he is extra. This is called: " When accepting a teacher, again betrayed a teacher [9]" "Betty" is a betrayal, is against the left. If you are good with your teacher then why take another teacher? Just as we have a father enough, only Shakyamuni Buddha can be our second father. We absolutely can not go looking for three, four, five, six, seven, eight ... many fathers like that! Master is our parent of the legal daddy.What do you like so many teachers?
Shan Tong Tzu learned with his first master of ethics, education and miraculous magic.The first teacher also did not have anything to teach Thien Tai anymore, so he just told Thien Tai to male
Because of these influences, they came to the abode of the monks, chanted a teacher, sneaked back and forth, went from one to another the kinds of corrupt behavior in Buddhism.So when I was in China or in Hong Kong, whoever took refuge in the Three Jewels, now wants to take refuge with me, I do not accept. Why? I do not think they are good believers, because their teacher told them to go and worship me as their teacher, but they were secretly looking for them. Furthermore, the refuge can only be refrained once, can not refuse and refrained again. Precepts can be; You are given three precepts, four precepts, five precepts, octaves, or bodhisattva ten weight forty-eight contempt, how many times each week can be, but only one refuge. male one in the north, one in the north, one in the west. If so, then you die, who will go to the teacher, where to go to do disciples? There is no place! The main reason is that there is no shelter, because there are too many teachers. Especially in Buddhism, we have to know the truth, to say the truth.
Buddhist followers in China, transferring back and forth only those old Buddhists, since they were young refuge, then refuge this side, refuge the other side; Their life took refuge even ten times, sometimes a hundred times. You ask them: "What is the refuge?", They open their eyes without saying anything - do not know what refuge is! Taking refuge in tens of times without knowing what refuge is, you say so pitifully! They said the monks were their teachers, they all took refuge with them, but I believe they did not have a teacher at all. Why so? Because they have no faith. You must have faith, trust can be saved, not trust, will not be fundamentally saved. Also in China, among teachers there is conflict also due to the relationship of believers. For example, the student of one teacher who runs to another teacher is invisible saying that the former teacher is not virtuous. If there is such virtue, why do the disciples have to go to another teacher as a teacher? And so between the two magi will arise conflict - "He robbed my disciples!" So they started fighting, once the fight, the two of them appear. What is that? That is the fire of ignorance. It all originated from the cause of disciple sneaky refuge with other teachers. You fear I robbed your student, and I was afraid you robbed my students, leading to the situation mentioned above. When fighting, the truth of the two people appear. What is that?

This is a very bad practice in Buddhism, I hope in the United States does not arise this situation, only to refuse once. Do not you want to take refuge? Then you go to find a good teacher, after taking refuge should not betrayed teacher, should not be a deviant followers teacher.
Sixty-three teachers have influenced Chinese Buddhism, forming an improper custom.In the United States, at the time when Buddhism has not spread, do not let this mistake spread, should not let devotees practice this habit. Like baptism to become a Christian in Jesus, Christianity is only once, can not say: baptism once washed unclean to wash again, wash and wash only one person. In Buddhism we too, should not take refuge once and again, from one time to another and also said: "I take refuge for the first time Buddha can not know, so I refuse the second time two". You take refuge for the first time if Buddha did not know the second, third to a thousand times, a thousand times, Buddha did not know. Why? Because the Buddha is not sleeping, he says that you do not see him, do not know. The Buddha is the Great Enlightened One, if your heart truly desires to take refuge with Him, He already knows, so it is said that the sympathy between the mind of the beings and the mind of the Buddhas is impossible. incredible [10] . If you do not know the Buddha, you do not believe in the Buddha, basically do not have refuge. So you take refuge several thousand times also useless.
After taking refuge, it is necessary to pay respect to the teacher, to respect the teacher.I teach this doctrine completely not intended to be refugee students with me to respect me, because I see the disciples take refuge with me very reverent me, so do not expect them to respect again. After taking refuge in remembering not to be countered, not to be disrespectful to the teacher. Those who do not respect you will fall into hell. Which hell of the hell are you?When teaching the Tipitaka, did not I talk about "hell of the sun"? Disciples do not go to court with the teacher, then fall to hell. There is a disciple not only disciplined not according to the teacher, not to follow the teacher to practice, but also to open their own way, doing their own way, but also using methods such as scolding teachers I even beat teachers, killed teachers, poisoned the teacher to kill him, the above cases have occurred. You do not laugh! In this world class beings are also available! Like the arbitrarily sitting in the teacher's place, joking around the bowl of the teacher, such a foul, unless the teacher told me to do so. If you do not do that, you blatantly make mistakes. This is very important, do not want to do something to do, there are teachers here are not arbitrarily, so in all time,
This paragraph is saying the merits of the Tathagata can not be the same.Compassion: They have taken refuge in the Three Jewels, took the five precepts, holds ten good things. Now I tell you. Public e memories of NhuLai, assuming all the Buddhas in the ten directions : the virtues of the Buddha, assuming all of the Buddha in the world around ten.
