The Means, The Illusionist?

Today is the subject of passion, who is different from each other?

First, we talk about how to love yourself. As for wanting to enjoy the fun should people put out gambling, prostitution ... for that is fun. Because of self-esteem, to satisfy his own needs, he wants to do something. It is love in love. Someone to satisfy temporary temptations, they use drugs, drugs, drugs ... also because of the requirements of their own. Some people because to satisfy the taste, do not know what diet, illness also do not abstain. Do you really love yourself or sabotage yourself? It is destructive, not love.

The more you love it, the less you return to it. It is not harmful in the present, but it lasts forever. Because of misleading, misplaced, suffering in this life and the next. If you love it in the delusion is a disaster, is dangerous. Trafficking in the province is good love.

Next, I say the way of the people of the province. You must first avoid the danger, sin. As the Buddhist, the Three Jewels, life expectancy of the Five Precepts. The Five Precepts are the barriers that prevent us from falling into danger. On the contrary, not keeping the Five Precepts is a pretext for us to fall into sin, danger. As a Buddhist disciples, go to the temple, bowing to the Buddha, chanting constantly, which has not kept round the world is really embarrassing. Do we keep the precepts for the Buddha or ourselves? Obviously, because of our love we have to keep the five precepts: not killing people, not stealing, not committing adultery, not telling lies, not drinking alcohol, not smoking opium, drug, drug. It is the people who love themselves, not to fall into the pit of sin, not to break up family happiness.

In the five precepts, if committed crime kill people in prison. Buddhists keep precepts, mainly do not kill people and large animals such as buffaloes, cows, pigs. And how much smaller animals are kept, which are not required to be kept strictly like monks and nuns. Many misunderstandings, think not killing is not killed the life of all species, so the farmer or fish do not dare to take precepts. Understanding is not insight.

Buddha arrested the world because of injury beings. He compassion for the world to prohibit us to obey, keep the world does not suffer the consequences. So keep the five precepts is to keep yourself, stop the path of sin. That is the right way, the precious of the province.

Are Buddhists afraid of poison? Poison is greed, anger and delusion. Why say they poison? It is quiet, but the yard is easy to see. As in the family, the husband floated the court led to quarrels, fighting, even divorce again. For the neighbors, floating yard also cause all kinds of trouble. So the pitch is very dangerous. In the recitation, one day the Buddha asked the monks:

- Monks, if your furnishings have three cobwebs, then you have good sleep?

Master said:

- Lord, we do not sleep well.

Buddha asked:

- How do you sleep well?

Master said:

"As long as we drive out all three poisonous snakes, we'll sleep well."

The Buddha concluded:

- Three poisonous serpents are poisonous but not as poisonous as the three greed, anger and delusion. Why? Because poisonous snake bites only death in this life only, also greedy greed not only this life but also through many other generations.

This is very specific. Cultivators must remove three poisonous snakes, turtles, si to be able to cultivate. How to flatten them? Anger is fireballs. If it's in our house, we have to get the patience to chase. Forbearance is a ring, patience, gradually anger will calm down. As someone says something that makes me angry, my mouth is dancing. All the actions that cause people suffering from the root out of anger. To refrain, some say drink water for cool, but water from the neck is hot again. Some people recite the Buddha, but when the recitation is heated again. So that is not very effective way of treatment.

Now I propose to you a more practical ring. When we get angry, we immediately read this mantra: "Saying it is stupid, it is silent." Just read back and forth, then angry. Why? Because when I get angry I will say bad. Naughty talk is stupid. So I say silly, silent is wisdom. Just remind yourself that I will not say in the hot. Thanks to this, we avoid making a business case, avoiding even the bad ones. To remind ourselves that we can stay for a while. But then again, it is hot again, so stepped through the second stage is the compassionate.

What is compassion? Compassion is loved all as your loved ones. But how do they curse me? We have to use carefully thought, who said the rude is unconscious or delirious? It's a passionate person. If you love, you have to be wise. The people in the province must love the passionate people, can not be angry with them. For example, we go to a psychiatric hospital, meet a crazy person cursed, how do we handle, angry or should they? They are crazy do not know how to bother, the more I see that I love, do not get angry. Insane people are insulting us not angry, the talker is almost like crazy people, we should love them. When you are hurt, you will not be angry anymore. It is a compassionate shop.

So the first step is to ring, to stop the outbreak of anger, to the second stage to root out the anger.

Come and join in the cause? Examples are cobra. This type of snake runs all over, not to sit still. There are five: tham tham, tham sắc, tham danh, glutton, tham tham. How do we treat greed?

Money is the drug of mediocrity. Money will be lost at any time. Buddha's money is often taken by the family: one is swept away by floodwaters, two by fire, three by robberies, four by unrepentant children, five by unjustified misappropriation. Our money is accumulated, we can keep one, we want to add two, we want two more three ... we want to accumulate more called greed. If we remember the wealth of many, but the fire accident, flood, irreversible children, or robbed steal stolen ... will be dissipated. So that is not guaranteed.

To be more secure we have to practice Dharma. Assuming a thousand dong is enough for us to live in a month, if we have thousands of thousand and two, then to save, it is a little greed. Now there is ample help for those who are poorer than me, that is giving. So let's say the degree of greed. Excessive lobha, while accumulation of nostalgia, increased greed. First of all we think of that impermanent, thinking that we want to accumulate greed, should help the poor, that is giving. Is such a gift disadvantage? Not only disadvantage but also blessed. No one stole this stealing. On the other hand, if we save money in the closet, we can get it. So take the world easy to lose, in exchange for more noble than wisdom or foolishness?

All the wealth of the world can be stolen by the thief, only by his good karma. So why are we less willing to do this, preferring to stay rather than let go. Knowing that is not wise dare let go, just accumulate nostalgic. People accumulate wealth with people who accumulate good, who cares more? Thus, for the participants we use two drugs: one is impermanence, the other is giving.

To disease of color. This is also a serious disease. This disease takes the drug impure to treat. Sticky dirty dirty, then naturally less dignity. In the old days of the Buddha under the Bodhi tree, as soon as the results, Mara appears to be beautiful women to seduce him back to enjoy the family. Then the Buddha said, "Go! Stingy skin, I do not use. "Listen to the shame of the ghosts withdrew.

Why do we cling to beauty? Because you look at the outside, not the inside. The Buddha saw that man was just a stingy skin. That is the truth that we do not dare to accept. Listen to the smell of perfume for aromatic, see the black powder to apply powder to white. It's a fool, not a fact. The truth is from head to toe, which is also all memory. If the body is beautiful, luxurious, should be out in the outside must be nice, but this has just flowed smoothly where we hear foul smudges.

It is the Buddha who teaches us that we are worthy of human values. When I see the body is stingy skin, I want to find a few skinny stink in the same again? Alone can not stand it, the other two more, it is suffering! Thanks to the shop we are no longer fascinated with beauty. That is not to say beauty can not last long. Only young age beauty new fullness, not seventy years old skin wrinkled cheeks, then beautiful. Beauty is only a temporary time that people fall in love, drowning it.

Buddha teaches this body is dirty, is where you are not consistent in other places. Many people do not know, listening to the Buddha told the body of impure body, then find a cute guy on the same person, a shop more! Right where I am, know the memory sticky, creep themselves, the body will also be abusive. Impatient success, the disease is not identity. It should be said that it is a medicine for dementia.

To make a list of stars? Mentorship is taking authority. For example, if a member of the National Assembly is involved in the election? Lo how to attract the masses, so also lost sleep. Concerned about the competition between the people who are popular, because not only candidates, so suffering? If my results fall, extremely suffering, but new beans as happy but not really happy. If they can not do it, they will be scolded. When losing their jobs, the more suffering. So before suffering, between suffering, later suffering. Three times suffering miserable! Suffering that people think happy, so they win together. A person who knows the attachment is the suffering one. Consciousness like that is a disease of the list.

To glutton, there is no glutton. The majority like to eat delicious. Thus, glutton disease how to treat? We have to use two drugs: one is impermanent, the other is impure. The delicious does not last long, only a minute or two minutes when chewing, while the food is still on the tongue delicious, but swallowed from the neck and then foul. So food is just temporary, delicious moment, not durable. We eat to live healthy, not to eat good to eat. Sometimes, when I want to eat good food, I have to spend a few times as much as I normally eat. Apparently due to greed that suffering, it is not said good eating too sick. So eat a moderate rest, do not ask, do not greed. That is to know the impermanent, impure bar to eat gluttonous disease.

What to take to get to sleep? Sleeping is a serious disease for many people. For example, Buddhists know tu, five hours late to wake up chanting, or recite the Buddha, meditation. But that night to sleep well, listening to the clock to roll over back, a moment and stop it over! It is a disease of sleep, also called a disease of lazy. This disease is not only Buddhist at home, but also home goods are often acquired. Buddhists outside the new six hours, but in the temple three to four hours have risen. Now sleep well, so listen to the newspaper still do not want to sit up, rolling back and then fall asleep. It is a sleep disorder.

For sleeping sickness, there are two methods to treat. One is diligent treatment, two are impermanent. When I'm sleeping, I hear the sound of the gong or the alarm, I do not want to wake up, I have to remember that I am healthy today, but I'm sure that tomorrow is fine, so I have to try to get better tomorrow. can It is impermanence to awaken, to awaken us to enlightenment.

The Buddha taught to be impermanent as the fire burns his head. The fire fell on the head, we waited ten minutes or less before blush? When the fire is burning head must be brushed immediately. Also, today we are healthy, tomorrow is healthy. So every day is healthy, try to do that, do not wait. That is, we know that this body is impermanent, no guarantee, when anything can be done, not ignored.

Thanks to impermanence right at that time, we wake up, wash the face and chanting recitation or meditation. If you roll back and forth to retrieve the skeleton, it will not rise, the sleeping ghost will master it. Imperfection finished, then take the diligent sword one hit, catch it up wash the face, tu tu, not lost time. That is the method of sleep disorders.

Thus, the above five diseases have medications. Just because the Buddhists have not known the medicine for a long time, they do not know how to do it. Treatment of those diseases then we are out of greed, all the courts.

Finally came si. Passion is the root of suffering in life. According to the class, before si, then to greed, yard. Deck is top, si is root. Why? Passion is not true. White things that I see black, bad but good, it is ignorance. Passion is to see the illusion, wisdom is to see true. One who lives in the wrong delusion is a delusion.

Confessions in the Buddha are divided into each type. The most unfathomable difference between good and evil, evil, righteous. We must know what good is evil. In the Buddha taught what is good, wise, beneficial for everyone, it is good. On the contrary do evil, bring danger to everyone, it is evil. We know to keep the precepts not to steal good, who do that is evil. In the Lord Buddha there are ten good and ten evil, called the good and the evil.

What is the harm? The three factors include the body: not killing, not stealing, not sexual misconduct. Four things in the mouth: do not lie, do not say evil words, do not say the word, do not say the words. Three things of the mind: less greed, less yard, less si. That is ten good things, the other ten evil. If he is full of greed, he is evil. We are to reduce the evil, increase the good. To suffer for the sinner is to sin, to cheer for the good.

To distinguish the chief evil, Buddhists must know what is primary, what is evil, not distinguish this very easy to mistake. Buddha teaches the Buddhist monks keep the five precepts, do good to avoid evil, ie tu tu effect. Sowing good health, enjoy good results, evil people are evil results. We do not do as guilty of creating sin, not breaking the precepts, while keeping the true cause of the Buddha. Blessed by the good he had created, the suffering that he had created evil. The Buddha declared that he had no right to give grace to anyone. Why? If there is no grace, then there is no cause and effect. Cause and effect of his creation, he received, not by anyone.

But Buddhists go to the temple, burn incense Buddha: "Buddha for this child, for the other child ...", more than offerings! It is guilty of greed for the little but demanding much. So the Buddhists committed two sins: one to the temple but also greed, two do not correct the Buddha's teachings. The Buddha told us to do good will be good, but we will not do it again. Should know the temple, the temple is because of the Three Jewels, ie the Buddha, Dharma, Sang to make the Three Jewels more brighter. Buy nothing for yourself, that's right with the spirit of the Buddhist. If there is a vow, let the Three Jewels remain in the world to save sentient beings. That is the true mind of the Buddhist.

Each year to the eighth lunar month, you often go to worship it right? This place I tell you Buddhist understand. It is true that the temple does not have the date, but does not worship the worship, but why now worship? Because in ancient Vietnam there are specialized grapes calendar. In the calendar to good day evil, good old bad age, worshiping cults limited. But later, when the French government did not let people learn Chinese characters, learn Vietnamese. Last time some of the unemployed.

Buddhists we used to see the calendar, want to build a house does not see the calendar is not quiet, should bring the calendar to the pagoda teacher, because the new master knows Han. Those who want to build a house, want to marry his wife to give their children to bring the calendar to the teacher. Thanks to teachers do not think not remember to thank the teacher, also thanks a little, long into the habit. The teacher said so do the Buddhists offered, do not do anything else well, so do that.

Actually, in the fourth chapter of the Diocese, the Diocese, the Buddha has forbidden it, because it is evil, not right. So the Buddhists must understand, the reason in the temple that such things are due to circumstances, not that it is your job. Your job is to cultivate. Understand that, Buddhists do not ask you to do that anymore, bring some calories burned to do, do not worship the worship of anything!

I say this to you, is there any time to worship the name of the head abbot not? It's not happened. It means that teachers do not believe, but in the Buddhist demand should be forced to name your teacher and then burn you happy. If that is a big benefit then the name of the teacher must be at the top. Understand that so you Buddhists know what the right, which is wrong to leave. The cause is the main cause, worshiping worship is worship evil, that is the truth.

For example, the day, everyone choose a good day to travel from the accident, so some thieves also pick that day but still caught as usual. Know that it is not fixed, mainly by the mind. Every day is good if your mind is good. Every day is bad if your mind is bad. That is the truth. But we are not afraid of the heart, we are afraid of the day. That is not true news. Bad news is ignorance. If you mention a lot of ignorance. Get rid of these delusions is that we go the main road, distinguish the deviant chief will not fall ignorance anymore.

So we know what sin should be avoided, what should be done, that is wisdom, ignorance. Therefore, the practitioner must be courageous, see the truth, then the new advancement. If not, then the cultivation will not go forward.

Greed by greed and greed. If we know how to stop, ignore greed, negativity will decrease. But many Buddhists say go to the temple for many years that the stars as much as the afflicted? That is because going to pagodas do not know tu, go to pagodas want to be praised, want to be blessed many not refrain. Tu is a very sincere noble, not as long as we mistaken.

To the province, to love yourself is to find what is true, what is not true. We look at what is real, what is not real. This body is not? Unreal. Why? Because the body is impermanent, temporary availability. Buddhists say four bodies of land, water, wind, fire combined. The hardness in the body is the soil, the wet substance in the body is water, the body in the body is the wind, the warmth in the body is fire. Those four missing one can not live.

When the four substances together to form body, long-term body growth, it must borrow the land, water, wind, fire outside the nostalgia. So it's new, new growth. Like our nostrils are breathing. Inhale is borrowed, exhale is paid. Borrow back, borrow ... pay out without borrowing, then stop breathing. If you do not want to borrow money, it is not. That's about the wind.

In the water, a loan borrowed water, borrowed and paid. Then borrowed rice is borrowed land, borrowed and then pay. So we live happily, healthy by borrowing money back. If the loan is repaid, they must go to the hospital immediately. Where is the value of man? It's just the borrowing that we keep thinking we are the owner of everything. When we see this body borrowed temporary, we have less it? Assuming who is evil, say you are too bad I'm angry? What good is bad borrowing?

Why people criticized a sentence that we do not use the yard because we think you are good, think you good. If you know that you are a fake, people say you laugh too. It is the intellectual, the opposite is the delusion. So take the temporary to be honest? Definitely not. That's me talking about myself.

Come to mind, what is your mind? This issue is more subtle. For long time we are used to think good thoughts are evil ... is his mind. I ask, since my parents birth to the day I close my eyes, I am one or a hundred junk. The mind of good and evil must fall into disrepute, change a hundred times a day. If the mind is me, then we are junk. Should know the heart of anger, hate, less than to be disturbed only the debris, temporary, not real heart.

Buddhism shows us what is real in us. As the recitation of the Buddha's mind is not disturbing, the mind is no longer thinking of gasoline, the new Buddha was welcome to the Pure Land. Why do we have to recite to one-pointedness? Because all thoughts are false, not real. Breathing all that, the new heart to show. The true mind shows the new Buddha to welcome. Therefore, it is necessary to recite the Buddha's name.

Meditation is to be determined. Set up the mess of gasoline mess, which we longed to think it is yourself. False things are silent then it is determined. Orientation to rescue the glass will be Nirvana birth. Thus, the Buddhist teachings are tu dashing gasoline mess, back to the heart of truth available in his place. For years we have forgotten to run the whimsical.

When we sit quietly in ten minutes, do not think anything, then there are you? If I think of my mind, then I die? But obviously not thinking that we still show money. The wind blows cool, the birds call to hear, the passerby clearly see. Thus, the perception is still present without thinking. Seeing that is the real thing. Just because we are so obsessive over time, we mistakenly assume it is us.

In the Surangama, the Buddha explained the meaning of "master" and "guest" very clear. The Buddha told Ananda, as in a motel, a home owner and a guest to attend. Guests stay for a while, and the host does not go. So, as a guest, the host does not have to go. Likewise, the birth of the lost car is the customer that we recognize him, the permanent boss left forgotten. That is getting the client. Get so provincial or delirious? By enchanting the Buddha taught us to cultivate, to rethink the mind of that whore. The mind is quiet, the boss appears, called liberation birth and death.

The Buddha is to liberate birth and death. What is liberating? That is not the mind is not kill, often common sense. How many Buddhist scriptures to go to that place. The mind of the gasoline stops, the wisdom Buddha appears. Tu know the mistakes left to become good people, gradually removed the good mind to distinguish bad to return to the heart of truth. That is me, tu such as step by step to enlightenment liberation.

Knowing the truth, we know the truth, otherwise we cultivate to expect the futile futile. Therefore, we make it easy for you to know what is true, what is not true. The thought of whirring is delusional, we have to "let go" it quieted down. As long as all expectations are true, the mind is real money. Actually, it is not necessary to wait for the mind to have it, it is always available but because of the idea of ​​obscurity we do not recognize.

For example, in the moonlit night, the moon is still bright, but the dark clouds are constantly dense, so we do not see the moon. As long as the clouds dissolve, the moon will appear. Is the moon appearing new or already available? Already available. Likewise, we have our Buddha, but because of the cloud of affliction. If you clear the cloud of affliction, his Buddha appears, no need to search anywhere. To live with his true Buddha, that is the people who know how to return to the real rescue, the source of eternal peace. On the contrary, in pursuit of our thoughts, we only suffer.

In a nutshell, we show how different provincial people and lovers are showing you, to choose a path. People love her but eventually hurt her, the more hurt the hurt and not the benefits. And the province loving himself, from low to high, find a place to save his glasses. Find it and then peacefully.

We must stay awake to save ourselves, no one can save us. If the delusion in the depths of life, the time when the escape from defilement, beyond the cycle of birth and death. That is the super high, save the glass in Buddhism.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.20/11/2017.
