We all understand the meaning of teaching is to bring the teachings of the Buddha handed down throughout the world, to help beings where they were awakened in the beginning. We all know that monks and nuns have the responsibility to propagate the Dharma, while the lay Buddhists have the responsibility to maintain the Three Jewels to help them survive long. In the past, during the Dharma and the Dhamma, the responsibility for propagating Buddhism is that of monks and nuns. But today is the Dharma Ending Age, we can not stand or look at or divide responsibilities, but all Buddhist disciples, monks or laypeople have the responsibility to propagate the Dharma, because this is the responsibility. Of the four disciples of the Buddha. Four of them, that is, two rows of disciples are  monks  and  nuns ; two rows disciple is  Residential  men  and Female nuns .

In the past, during the Dharma and the Dhamma, Buddhists at home can not afford to preach the Dharma, because the problem of printing and translation of scriptures is very difficult, so the teaching only to rely on monks, Ni. But today is completely different because of modern science and technology. Translation of the full text, print, tape recordings and transportation are also very fast, so all the lay practitioners at home, whether old or young, mind or fill, rich or poor have the ability to spread the main French. We spend less money every day, saving money and time to help or print. Books, tapes and discs to circulate everywhere can be free practice. But before the teachings of birth, we need to have wisdom, to know the circulation of books is the end, to help beings easily cultivate, Easy to achieve and reborn in a lifetime. We should not press the books or tapes ... there is no benefit for the birth of the Buddha.

If we do not have the wisdom to choose the scriptures, we should seek the opinions of monks, nuns and lay devotees that we feel confident and respectful. If we do not have enough wisdom, do not have the opportunity to meet the monks, nuns and laypeople, we only print the books of the Buddhas, parents or circulation stories proof of the Buddha or birth. is the story of Buddhist mysterious color. In doing so, my teachings are not mistaken, because your parents are all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are present, so the teachings of the Buddha are all right. ( The Patriarchs we are saying here are those who have attained enlightenment and have been recorded in the history of Buddhism since ancient times.). In addition to the suggestion of the monk, we also have a way of using our mind to identify. If we read a book or listen to a tape recorder that is immediately enlightened, clears wisdom, discards good deeds and diligently cultivates, then the sutras and tapes will benefit both themselves and beings

After understanding the scriptures and tapes that are the salvation of sentient beings, let us spread the compassion of our minds everywhere: from the sky to the valley, from the city to the countryside, from the cave to the lane narrow, from prison to the camp of love. In short, we should not discriminate as: race, religion, wealth, trust or not, with or without foundation, grace or not. It is our responsibility to bring the Dharma everywhere. It is important to always ask your heart do the best to birth? If you have done your best, then do not worry about such things as: Praising, cursing, trust, ... of life people because all these actions and words have nothing to do with them. ta If you spread the Dharma that mind to worry or fear the other end, Not afraid of people who are afraid of people who do not believe or defame, how do you save lives? Please remember: When Buddha Shakyamuni, his words, but also the objection, the haters, the believer, the doubt, let alone what is our words. Today is the time of Dharma, psychic and moral of beings are very poor, so they just like to pursue greed, anger, and difficult to accept the noble and moral. But not so that we are depressed and give up. The more ignorant, crazy island, the more we cultivate more diligence. We talk about the good, the virtue and the coast of beings are not form, but whether there is the form, we also do not have enough wisdom to distinguish. Only the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas can see the charm of beings,

 Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are always present in this world to save the beings and non-stop. Especially in the period of this Dharma, beings are more delusion, crazy island how much the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are more present here than many. Each of them has different aspirations and forms of forgiveness, ordinary as we can not contemplate your form. Now, let's look at three basic ways of propagating the Dharma, namely: Wisdom of Dharma, Dharma work and Dharma work.

I. Intellectual propaganda

It is said that people with intellectual and metta receive the teachings of the Tathagata, to educate sentient beings enlightened, abandoned. (This method of teaching monks, nuns and laymen are more capable).

II. Net work of propagation

It is about those who do not have enough wisdom, but try to work hard day and night to save money and time to help or print the Book of Broadcasting, help beings are enlightened, leave the passion. (This way of teaching Buddhists at home is more likely.

III. Elaborate practice

It is said to elaborate practice of each child Buddha. In terms of elaborate Dharma practice does not distinguish the monk or the household, because all beings have the ability to become a Buddha. We do not need wisdom, metaphor or money, we just need to recite Amitabha Buddha. He recites Buddha, meaning that we have a deep faith in Buddhist recitation and do not question or doubt. Effort to recite the Buddha is human, human beings will be born merit, merit will produce fruit, when ripe fruit, we become a Buddha. When we become a Buddha, we will be countless beings, so anyone can do the work elaborately. As long as we are reborn in the realm of Amitabha Buddha and leave eloquent proof for posterity, our proof of rebirth will be a supreme speech, even though we do not say a word. (This way of doing monasticism and home is capable.)

Dear friends! The three methods of propagation above, although each person is responsible for different propagation, but in terms of achievements merit and merit are not equal, no less and all three are attributed photographic gift :  French generosity ,  generous gifts and  free gift . Practitioners want to achieve the profession, there must be full of these three blessings, because this is the page to help us reborn into Buddhism.

1. Giving : This means that we must bring the Buddha's teachings to pass on to all sentient beings.
2. Gift means: We bring the money we have or use our strength to help people. Credits consist of two parts: the  inner  and the  outer . Offering money or goods belong to the external gift, give your strength, belong to the gift.
3. Absence of alms : It means to bring peace and happiness to everyone.

Now, let's look at the merits and blessings of these three ways of propagation.

I. Intellectual propaganda

It is said that those who practice hard and cultivate the Book of the day and night to go teach the living beings. Work, is the  internal  gift. After being successful, this person brings his experience and spiritual knowledge to open up wisdom for beings, this belongs to  Dharma  . Being born after hearing the teachings of the Buddha is enlightened, leaving the passion and belong to  the untargetable  gift.

II. Net work of propagation

It is said that those who bring their money to print books, tapes, statues, ... spread widely. Money and goods belong to the  diplomacy  . People do not have the money but know how to put their efforts to help distribute books, tapes or do the results, this belongs to the  internal  gift. In the book, tapes have the teachings of the Buddha, this belongs to the  Dharma  . The readers of the book, listening to the tapes are enlightened, departed, happy and peaceful, this belongs to  the giftless generosity.

III. Elaborate practice

It is said that people recite the Buddha was born. After reborn, this person left eloquent proof for posterity or voluntary return to universal beings. The practice of cultivation is in  the field of gift. Evidence reborn is not high-speech law, this is  legal daredevil. Born after seeing the evidence, there is no doubt and joyful news recite the Buddha, this belong to  the untouchables .

Although the three ways of propagation above have different places, but the same purpose is:  " Lead beings to meet Amitabha Buddha ."  In order to achieve the virtue and repay the three generations of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, let's hold hands and support each other, to save beings from reincarnation and be reborn as Buddhas.

IV. Reminders

 When looking for monks, nuns or lay Buddhists to comment on the printed books or discs, then we must know the right teacher and the right way, to expect good results. If we want to print the sutras, tapes of the Pure Land method, then we should ask the monks, nuns and lay Buddhists to practice the Pure Land method. If we want to ask about Zen or Tantric practice, we should ask monks, nuns and lay Buddhists about the Zen or Tantric teachings. We should not bring the Pure Land scriptures to the meditators or the Confucianists, because in doing so we will not get satisfactory answers and even be distracted. Why? For meditators are from the door  Do not  go in, and the Pure Land is from the door  General DieuThe understanding and practice of these two disciplines are quite different. Please note this, if not, you will encounter great obstacles. Just like in the real world: If you want to invest in company A, you have to find out what belongs to company A, so you get a satisfactory answer. You should not invest in company A but consult with company B, doing so only hurt yourself at the crossroads only.

 When we have the capacity and the finances to release the scriptures or tapes, we should open compassion to help fellow practitioners who are not financially able. Let us help everyone to have the means to grow the good and blessings.

Example:  There is a Buddhist who reads a good book and wants to make a donation for everyone but can not afford to print as much as the printer requires. If we can afford it and find it beneficial, then we should stand up for advance money to print a lot and then give it back to fellow initiates at the cost of what we paid for the printing house. They have the opportunity to propagate. (If we're a print shop owner, it's easier to do this.)But we have to look at the number of people who want to print that book more or less. If you have more than that, you will not be affected by the finances and activities of your family. In short, we depend on circumstances and conditions that help fellow practitioners, should not let the family sad is not good. Like our sisters, for many years, in the United States and in Vietnam, we have done two kinds of Buddhist and philanthropic work, namely:  One , helping to receive the money from all over the world. birth, ...  Two, helping to stand out in the book and sent to the place for Buddhists who can not afford to print. In terms of money, our sisters are very poor. Poor to some extent, there are times when the printing house to print books, Buddha, ... but no money to pay in advance to print. But thanks to the trust that the printer they are willing to print the book first and pay later. After the book was printed and brought home, we had to distribute and send books to the pagodas and Buddhists everywhere. After distributing all the scriptures, Buddha images, ... we fell into a state of anxiety because there was not enough money to pay for the printing house. But do you believe? Buddhas and Bodhisattvas blessing is very mysterious, can not think. Since we have just fallen into a state of anxiety, where natural resources are available to us to pay off our debt. There is a strange thing: These resources have been sent to us from different places, but when we add together this balance, it is enough for us to repay, not excess and not missing. . At times, we feel moved and unable to hold back tears. Thanks to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who are always at the side of the family, our sisters are brave enough to stand up for the debt and keep the Buddha up to this day. Through the years of Buddhism, I felt a real thing, that is: Thanks to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who are always at the side of the family, our sisters are brave enough to stand up for the debt and keep the Buddha up to this day. Through the years of Buddhism, I felt a real thing, that is: Thanks to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who are always at the side of the family, our sisters are brave enough to stand up for the debt and keep the Buddha up to this day. Through the years of Buddhism, I felt a real thing, that is: " Let go of it all " .

If we are to teach the law of birth, then the Three Jewels and beings on the first. We have to do with the heart of truth is not self-interest and self-interest, to see the mysterious blessing of the Buddha. If we abuse the Dharma, abuse the money of the faithful, they will be wearing horny hair to pay the debt forever, life can not escape. In addition to not overusing the public's money, we have to devote our efforts to distributing the sutras, boxes, carriages, etc., to all the pagodas and Buddhists. In addition, we have to prepare ourselves to tolerate all the compliments and reproach of the people. Why? Because there is a Buddha where there are ghosts, where there is the main there is evil. Even if we do the best we are criticized and criticized. But please rest assured, Only the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas understand me enough. As for the compliments of the people, we should not be bothered that it is normal for humans to be in the world of Ta Mei full of evil. If that is normal then we are foolish to disturb our mind and body. Wanting to be a Buddha in this Dharma Ending Age, we must be fully wisdom, patience, courage  and  sacrifice . Without one of these four, we will not achieve the mission of teaching and protecting Dharma.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.19/3/2018.
