One of the characteristics of the Buddha when the sermon is often used images to illustrate his ideas, making the listener easy to contact and feel. During the Sun, when humanity has not been exposed to light today, moonlighting is a high pleasure. See the moon that each person recognizes many, especially see themselves. 

According to the Sun, people live in life 'like the moon'. Good people have characteristics such as early morning moon to full moon, more and more bright. And evil people like the moon in the middle of the month, defective and gradually fade and then off in the thirty.

"At one time, the Buddha was at the Garden of Desolation, the tree of the moment, the Sage. Now there is a young Brahmin named Sangha-la-la to the Buddha, with the Blessed One to visit each other health, then back and forth across the Buddha said:

- Bach Cu-talk, how to know the male unwholesome?

Buddha told Ba-la-subjects:

- Like the moon.

Brahmin asked:

- How can you know the good guys?

Buddha told Ba-la-subjects:

- Like the moon.

Brahmin Buddha:

- What is an unwholesome man like the moon?

Buddha told Ba-la-subjects:

- Like the moon at the end of the month, the light is lost, the color is lost, the system also lost, the night and increasingly reduced, until no longer appear. Likewise, there are people who forgot the spiritual faith, life preservation, smart study, listening to many, give up their parts to give, genuine right view; But then the degradation of pure faith for the Tathagata, for the morality, generosity, listening much, right view right honest; With regard to generosity, morality, multiform, right understanding, all are lost; Diminished night and night, until in the moment all are forgotten. Again, this brahmana, if any good man, but not familiar with knowledge, do not often hear the French, do not think right, do evil acts, mouth speak evil words, thoughts of the evil, because of the evil causes created this evil, When the general body collapse will fall into the evil line, hell. Thus, Brahman, the unwholesome man is likened to the moon.

 Brahmin Buddha:

- What kind of man is the moon?

Buddha told Ba-la-subjects:

- Like the beginning of the month, light and bright colors, day and night become brighter, until the full moon, completely full bright. Likewise, the man who is good towards the law of the Tathāgata has the pure devotion, until, right understanding, the better the purity, the increase, increase, increase, increase wisdom, day and night. more and more. Then at other times, close to knowledge, listen to the Dharma, in the right mind, the body doing the good, the mouth speak good words, the thought of good things; Thanks to these conditions, when the general nembutsu will be born in heaven. Brahman, so manly is like the moon.

Then the Blessed One said,

As the moon is in no flake

Wander around nowhere

In all the stars

The moonlight is brighter.

The same religion

Gender, literature, wide distribution

Leave your life

This gift is shining.

Buddha said this business, Ba-la-La-la-la listen to what the Buddha taught, the joy of joy from the seat up to fight back.

(A-jutaka, Business No. 94)

It is clear, watching the moon to find yourself. We go to pagodas, study, practice, close to the Tam Bao is different from what the moon. Those who have good fortune like the moon and the middle of the month, more and more bright. Whoever unjust blessing as the moon and the middle of the month, more and more dark.

In the meditation there is the sentence 'The most current Buddhist money'. Then over time, the beginning of decay, the career of sloping decline, the loss of faith, far from good knowledge, not heard the law, create three negative karma, the same network of evil born. As the moon at the end of the month is gloomy, sad. Blessed people, the better the practice. Gender, literature, experiment, intellectual growth.Three karma increasingly good. Surely they will give birth to the realm of liberation or achievement. Therefore, disciples vow to correct themselves every day as well as the moon better month, more and more bright. 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.10/12/2017.
