The Buddha is not a god, god bless the human beings that the Buddha is human like all of us. He was also born from the womb, still enjoying the pleasures of the world, but by knowing how to let go and get rid of the muddy grove and become fully enlightened.

Buddha As Lotus

Lotus grows muddy,

Fresh flower bloom fragrant life.

This body is impermanent,

There is a clear mind of all species.

In the power of excellence with all that is present, all people want to have money, beauty, fame, good food and beautiful sleep and sleep more than 2600 years ago. The royal prince had escaped and practiced enlightenment into Buddha.

The Buddha is not a god, god bless the human beings that the Buddha is human like all of us. He was also born from the womb, still enjoying the pleasures of the world, but by knowing how to let go and get rid of the muddy grove and become fully enlightened.

In the world almost everyone is attached by money, beauty, fame, good food and beautiful sleep. In the temple we can see the Buddha sitting on the lotus, also many pagodas Buddha statue holding a lotus tree.

If you read his history we know that the Buddha was sitting under the Bodhi Tree Meditation and attained the result. So why do we worship the Buddha sitting on the lotus, worshiping the wrong meaning? What does the Lotus Sutra mean to anyone who cultivates Buddhism? Should they always worship the Buddha sitting on the lotus throne? It is important to know that Buddhists must understand clearly so that when someone asks you how to answer correctly. 

As we know, the lotus always grows in the pond, in the lake and from the mud. Thus, the value of the lotus is from the mud that rose from the mud, out of the water and flowering fragrant. The special feature of the lotus is that there are stigmas and seeds at the same time, which other flowers do not have.

Sen is a very different flower, while nursing flowers hidden in the mud, until close to the out of the mud, reaching the water before flowering. The characteristics of sen when in the mud is foul, when the flowers are fragrant flowers. Therefore, Buddhism uses lotus as a symbol image for the true practitioner has gone beyond the five worlds that attain enlightenment, complete liberation.

Historically, the Buddha, when he was a royal prince, had been living in a noble state, full of wealth with his servants. Though immersed in the five worldly pleasures, he awakened to see old people, sick people, dead and a priest. He thought, reflecting and then he will also be old, will be sick, will die, so decided to leave all to go to seek liberation. Finally, he has attained enlightenment of the Chief of the sense and the Buddha.

The value of the lotus is from filthy, foul smelling that blossoms have a pure scent. This is the characteristic of the lotus, which is why the lotus is chosen as the noble symbol in the Buddha.

While in the golden palace with full of earthly pleasures, the prince is likened to a lotus in the mud. Having left everything to transcend the family, he was like a lotus flower but still in the water. When trying, diligent practice and achieve full results, enlightened liberation, He is like the lotus out of the water to bloom fragrant. 

Likewise, the lotus from the beginning to the flowering also goes through many stages. The first stage, while in the mud, the second stage when out of the mud, but also in the water, the third stage when the water rose from the flowers bloom.

We know the lotus grows from mud, if no mud nursing, the lotus can not live. Also, we can not leave this life to find enlightened enlightenment, liberation. Right in life with all good things bad, over losing, right, right wrong, sad and confused that we must try to transform the suffering, pain into joy, happiness. This is the positive spirit of those who let go of the evil mind harming the harm.

It can be said, the lotus is an important symbol that most of the Buddhist scriptures are talking about, especially the "Lotus Sutra". In addition, Lotus is also represented in other areas of cultural specificity of each country, the Buddhist ethnic. In fact, temples, monasteries or Buddhist families also often take the Lotus as a symbol. Therefore, here we would like to explain in a nutshell some of the typical characteristics of the lotus bearing deep meaning in the Buddha.

The lotus has eight miraculous properties. The first characteristic is  noninfection. The lotus grows from the mud, but its essence is pure, clean, not muddy to pollute. Vietnamese folk songs have poems:

In what beautiful dress with lotus

Green leaves, white flowers stuck yellow

Yellow stigmas, white flowers, green leaves

Nearly mud that does not stink of mud.

Although lying in the mud over many years, but the lotus body is not unclean and still waiting to stretch out of the water to bloom with fragrance with life. Mud is a symbol of defilement, greed, greed, hatred and anger. The lotus is a symbol of purity, clarity. The process of blooming lotus is the same as the life of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas when appearing in life. They are also living, eating and working as everyone else, but they are not washed away by the stream. On the contrary, ordinary people like us are touched by the persistence of each other.

We all have Buddha-like clarity, as well as the nature of the mirror is bright but dirt is obscured. Likewise, we for ignorance obscured should follow the career path that created more sinful sin. The image of the lotus tree rising out of the mud and then blooming pure is like the true monk who lives in the middle of his life so much as he has grown up to master himself to share the joy of suffering with all people.

The  second characteristic is lithe, pure.  If we have time to observe where the lotus grows, we will see that the water is never opaque. It is a feature of slipperiness in lotus plants. This brings the meaning of where the Buddha-Bodhisattva was born, where beings are happy, benefit. Where there is a Dharma, there is less pain because they know how to change, transform bad thoughts. On the contrary, where there are many evil, dishonest, where the evil spread to cause suffering, harm to many people.

The lotus has very wonderful characteristics. Although the flowers are beautiful, fragrant and attractive, but no insect species can be harmed by the presence of pure plumage to insects do not dare to approach. This characteristic indicates the Buddha's mind is clear in each person. If we often slam in the defilements of greed, greed, greed will be more pure, as well as the virtue of the true monk always cultivate moral virtue, to benefit Sentient beings are not tired, boring because they do not see human beings. Thus, we can overcome the traps of life that transform suffering, pain into infinite wisdom, compassion.

The third characteristic is  patience, tolerance.  As we all know, the lotus is the flower that grows from the roots. Flowers bear patience, tolerance because its root roots are in the mud for a long time to wait when the conditions will be sprouting. Such expectation as the patience, endurance need to have in the Buddhist people in all circumstances to have the opportunity to commit to contribute without seeing us-people-beings so easily let go of evil mind evil and his attachment.

When talking about this character we ourselves are really ashamed of being too angry and so many good opportunities are missed. The habit of attachment, attachment to many generations makes us greedy, selfish and lead to anger, even then, if not enough to restrain, the practice of cultivation for many years to dissolve into smoke.

The life or the direction of achieving good results, we must first have the patience and tolerance. Therefore, true Buddhists want to have a great compassionate mind that must practice patience, as the lotus patiently endures to rise out of the water and blossom.

The fourth characteristic is  pure impudence . This uniqueness is only in the lotus when the pistil is surrounded by round petals, from hatching until the decay, never to be butterfly bees to find the bean to suck the nectar.

The lotus will also die over time as other flowers, especially in the winter, but in the spring the lotus grows stronger. In addition, many lotus seeds and tubers can be buried under the mud, but can survive for a long time without being destroyed, until the full karmic merit will rise to full force. .

In the midst of the hot summer, the lotus still grows up and blossoms, as well as the human being is burning fire afflicted envy-yard-burned but still enough to tolerate the renewal of yourself by knowing how let go of bad evil. This implies the Buddhas-Bodhisattvas were born in the five realms. Many sentient beings, urgent, annoyed will be brought to you with water mulberry moisten the mind.

The fifth characteristic is  pure taste, gentle . Lotus is not only pure taste but also harmonious beauty that makes people enjoy watching the boring. Flowers are usually two colors are white and pink. The special feature of the lotus is only a little, gentle but very attractive, giving people a sense of peace when admired, watching.

The sixth characteristic is  straight and empty . There are few flowers that grow up as straight as a lotus flower. In the same way, the true monk, though living in a polluted situation, is still aware of every moment, not being disturbed by bad thoughts, good or bad, less than good and evil, which dominates the mind. Living like that we are really peaceful, happy as the lotus flower grows out of pure mud.

Although in the empty gut but the lotus body is always upright, this is the only modification of the mind of the practitioner regardless of religious or home. Their life is to let go of all the nourishment to keep the mind pure, clear. In addition, this special feature also means that practitioners need to have the virtue of compassion, tolerance and tolerance, tolerance and forgiveness, and no one is the enemy.

The seventh characteristic is the  causal consequence . Other flowers when the new flower buds, fruit and seeds. In contrast, the lotus hatch has a lotus and lotus seeds available. It is cause and effect simultaneously. This tells the philosophy of cause and effect is never wrong, causal as the shape with the ball, looks like the ball like that. In addition, even in the body of birth-old-sick-death, everyone has a pure mind, clear but often clear. Mind of the Buddha where the eyes-ears-nose-tongue-mind still know that not all the good thoughts evil, must be bad, bad, more dominant than losing.

The eighth characteristic is  sacrifice . People often use lotus leaves to pack nuggets or steamed rice, use young leaves and flowers to make medicine, while lotus, lotus tubers and lotus seeds are used as food. Almost all lotus parts are beneficial to humans. This speaks of the spirit of the word-bi-joy-discharge of Buddhism is always willing to contribute, help to share with the heart of love and understanding for everyone when there is charm.

Because of these extremely noble characteristics, the lotus is the unique image associated with Buddhism from ancient to present, symbolizing the image of Buddhism in Vietnam as well as in Buddhism. And it is absolutely worthwhile that our nation has chosen the lotus as the national flower of the country.

Next we will talk about the meaning of lotus in the spirit of Buddhism developed in the "Lotus Notes". France is the magic, Lotus is the lotus, Dieu Phap is like a lotus should call the "magic United States".

What is the magic? That is knowledge Tri Buddha. The Buddhas say: "The Buddhas are born for exposing the beings that enter the buddhist knowledge," that is, to teach us to enlighten the knowledge of the Buddha, ie the knowledge of our Buddha. So how does this know? It is often known that the refraction of the eye is only seen without starting the mind attached to the images, things, nose-nose-tongue-like also.  

In the "Lotus Flower" Buddha taught three realms like not in the fire. Our impermanent bodies are consumed by the fire of greed and greed that makes us die in every moment. However, even in this body has never been burned and always intact, bright in. That is the pure mind of Buddhism, knowing as true truth.  

As we know, the life of the Buddha goes through many stages. Stage one is the sexually pleasurable world. The second stage is to see the harm done to it and leave it all to surpass it. The third stage is because he knows how to harmonize mind and diligence diligently practice enlightenment into fullness.  

One monk asked a Zen master, "How is the lotus out of water?" The Zen master replied, "Lotus. The monk asked: "After leaving the water how?" Zen master replied: "Lotus leaf".

Here, if we run in the language of the masters, we will be cheated by the Lord. Why? The monk asked the "lotus when not out of water how" is the idea implicitly asked how our Buddha nature looks. To remove the monk's sense of sensitivity, the Zen master replied "the lotus". When the monk asked, "after leaving the water," the Zen master should have replied that "after leaving the water, the lotus is about to bloom", as well as our mind when not being chanted. The brain is clear, pure, there is no missing. Here, the Zen master responds, "lotus", "lotus leaf" is the meaning of speaking only in mindfulness.  

When our minds are no longer running under the whimsical scenery anymore, the pure mind will purify the mind, as well as the fragrant aroma of the lotus is no longer muddy to stain. In the present life that we do not endure, but the deep forest to deepen the new tu then will be more difficult to progress because our mind is not stable. We like to be like a lotus flower in the mud but always clean, so it really benefits themselves and people.

The cultivator needs to know what's wrong with what he's trying to get away with until the end. Do not pay tribute to contempt for others when you give yourself or yourself good. We must know how to humble ourselves, to be ashamed of doing something wrong and sincerely repent of repentance to correct mistakes.

In the absence of true spiritual practitioners, there is a great disadvantage to this world because there is no one who guides the doctrine for us. A social community without morality will spread the influence and suffering of many. If anyone is infected with bad habits such as murder, robbery, fraud, sophisticated fraud in many forms ... then ask how this life will be? For the benefit of humanity, the benefit of many people we have to try to cultivate to broaden the compassionate heart to share the joy, suffering with the spirit of selflessness, altruism. The good deeds, beautiful life always help the society temporarily overcome the pain, the pain to be happy, happy with the heart of love and understanding right here and now.

The path to happiness that leads to long-term peace must be realized by the individual, no one can help us. We do evil from body-mouth-mind so we do well from then on. The wise, the wise choose good, good to do. If there are many unethical people in society, the society will be easily disturbed and many will live in misery.

When we achieve something like that, then jealousy, anxiety, and selfish greed arise. The Buddha said "come here and  practice  to liberate". Of course, we can not easily live according to the insight of the Buddha, suffering from suffering and contentment with the present, living with the spirit of "wanting to know less" and have the moderation and harmony.

In short, we see the lotus rising from the mud but not being contaminated by mud. Likewise, the buddha's mind will be present when one knows how to live in awareness because it is not absorbed by passion. This body changes impermanently, so everyone suffers from aging-sickness. However, even in this defilement body there is always the pure mind of the Buddha where the eyes are only seen but still clearly know, know, know, not start mindfulness attached to the self-beings , nose-nose-tongue-like also. Therefore, the Buddha's mind is like a lotus and it is a special mystery of Buddhism.

 THE BUDDHIST BUDDHISM OF PEOPLE

In the past, there was a wealthy man who had been around the whole month for a long time and had invested in speculative hoarding, raising his ambition to make a fortune for himself, despite all the tricks of exploitation so that he could be rich and well-off.

One time his wife was seriously ill, he invited a monk to chant the peace to eliminate karma. He said to the monk: "Thanks to Buddhist chanting prayers for Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to bless my family peace, the business of the family more and more prosperous, my wife quickly overcome the disease, My grandchildren are promoted early and money is uneven. "

The monk heard the rich man said so he warned him to use the law that he vowed loudly: "May the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from far away from compassion, Pray for the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas bless his family to be safe, happy, children are full of children, the business is prosperous, his wife eliminated disease, accident victims, people in the family are as you like ".

Listen to the solemn monk, the rich man surprises, he wonders: "Why do you pray to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the distance and not invite them here to bless them here? Merry for your family quickly? "

The monk replied: "The reason I do not pray to the Buddha and the Bodhisattva is because they are afraid they will not come to help his family. Think again! He is now over 60 years old, close to the land far from the sky and never know how to help anyone, say only generous donation, on the contrary, greed defile, hate hatred, beating others, do not know Respect people, there are surplus to be thrown away, not to share with people. Because the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the past know that he is greedy, disheveled, clumsy so they will not come to help his family. That's why I have to ask the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the distance to help him a little more. "

This is a parable story with a profound philosophy to remind us to believe in causality, to live happily in material and spiritual well-being, to know good sowing. We want to pray Buddha and Bodhisattva have the touch, always have to live a good moral virtue, help others when difficult circumstances, always open the heart of selfless self ... Buddha and Bodhisattvas are full feet, full of sense, perfect, full of beauty, want to ask them to touch, our minds and actions should be compatible with their own.

Not only the rich man in the world but many people who do not know what the blame is so do not believe the cause. They are crazy to do bad things evil, the time to meet bad results, begging, proliferation, asking the Buddha, Bodhisattva help.

Cause fair results when sufficient grace is good or bad will come, where the Buddha, Bodhisattva bless blessing us. If the Buddha do that, then do not advise us to light the torch yourself, go, lit up with the Dharma. The Buddha always advises people to believe in the cause and effect of trying to do good, except the evil and always keep the mind clean.

Those who have bad heart, evil, cruel, greedy, selfish, narrow, how to get good results and how to get the touch of them. When we have already believed in the cause and effect, if we want to have a good fruit, we must know how to plant good seeds and create suitable conditions for it to grow and bear fruit.

We want to live for a long time, not to kill animals, first not to kill and minimize the killing of other animals, or definitely not kill anything. Secondly, there must be a sense of well-being, good physical activity, tempered eating, moderation, and excessive fun. We did not kill, but we must know how to give birth, when animals are threatened.

To be rich, you must know donation offerings, help divide when necessary; The next is diligence in work, saving in spending, not playing the extravagant and robbery of others because it is the cause of poverty and misery.

In short, if we do not know how to cultivate good and to live well with others, when we are in need, we can not pray to the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas help us to overcome the disaster. The effect of money is that there are many people who help people save life, there is nothing natural when not or by the highest blessing to blame us.

Today, folk beliefs in so many ways make people unaware of its true nature, such as sacrificing sacrifices, superstitions, healing her down, Countless practices make people lose themselves because they do not know how to master themselves. Dwelling in the communal house, pagoda, shrine is a phenomenon to ask for spell to make prosperous, stick to the Buddha statue, Bodhisattva or rub hands on the image and rub into the body and call it a fortune of heaven, Buddha, Bodhisattva or of the superior.

When we come to the temple, we prostrate, pleading, begging for everything. I only offer some money or things but want the Buddha, Bodhisattva give me all things. If what you ask for is the will, the law of cause and effect will no longer exist. Obviously, from human beings to all animals are subject to the influence of cause and effect, there is no object in this world to escape the cause of effect.

People who do not practice Buddhism do not believe in cause and effect. But were Buddhists that we are superstitious, always imploring, asking, want all things worthy of being a true Buddhist?

He rich in the story because many generations have known the temple, blessing, generous should be rich life. But due to lack of training, the richer he is, the greedy, neglected, and then think of his wealth is by the sage, Buddha, Bodhisattva.

However, if we give to greed, selfishness, desire for alms will help us to be richer, then of course there will still be greed, attachment will be increasingly heavy, so dagger again as confused.

Those who are born with the mind of desire, will pay the money to buy a certain animal and then locked up, waiting for the ceremony in the new temple chanting prayer, release, in the pot, in the pot, cage. Such incitement is inadvertently lost the meaning of life, not because of compassion.

Born properly means that when the animal is going to be killed by human beings, because of mercy compassion I bought it to release or advised them to release it. Such incitement will not make the other people have the opportunity to profitably profit as people buy fish in the temple.

True Buddhists must first study the Buddha's teachings and then reflect on them, reflect on them and apply them in practice. They will know that everything in the world is right and wrong, wrong, good and bad.

We believe that the Buddha here is true belief after the arising of wisdom, so we believe in causality, believe in self-control. Therefore, we worship Buddha, worship the Buddha, the Buddha is because of respect, because of gratitude should try to practice "blessings song tu" until the new Buddha only.

BUDDHISM TEACH PEOPLE, HEALTHY LAW

The Buddha taught "difficult human body, Buddha Dharma hard to hear". This sentence we hear a bit ridiculous because we already have human body, but here the Buddha said the future body not the present body. If we die later, will we be reborn as human beings? That is a question of some people. We need to contemplate and meditate to find out the reason why the Buddha taught so.

Often some worldly doctrines claim that death is the end, everything returns to dust, there is no karmic retribution or samsara reincarnation, so they put on evil work without fear of sin. After the death of the body, the buddha will perish, but the mind is still and continues to reincarnate into the realm or the realm which has been created by the practice.

A new baby is not taught anything but has a special interest, a baby or cry, the child likes toys, the child eat, the child likes to sleep ... When growing up to go to school and teach the same but have good math, good at writing, good at physics ... Then why is there such a difference?

According to Buddhist doctrine, sentient beings after death will be reborn in the 3 realms of the six paths, or "reincarnation". It is the heaven, the human realm, the astral realm, the realm of hell, the animal realm and the realm of demons. The human realm and the heavens are the realms for all beings to hold the world, tu 10 healthy and apply meditation practice.

Sentient beings who are lost are reborn as good or bad according to the karmic causes of the present. The karmic forces that we create in the present life will bring us into one of the six realms of reincarnation, which depends on karmic retribution, that is, when karma is near death. He is doing evil, but when he is about to die, his strong mind of good deeds will be able to reincarnate to good and vice versa.

The Buddha taught: "There are two types of people who can be reborn straight without having to go through the middle-warm phase (the mind waits for rebirth). The first is the type who inflicts heavy crimes such as killing a father, killing a mother, killing a true monk, inciting hatred for natural resources, After dying directly into Hell, not through the intermediate stage. The second type is the creator of good grace, blessings song tu, from the bi-joy-discharge, to benefit beings do not know tired tired, self-conscious in all circumstances should have overcome living death, revenge unchanging. The remaining six lines of samsara after the loss according to habits of training that can be reborn in the realm or the realm.

To say that it is hard to be a human being back to the Buddha using the image of a blind turtle at the bottom of the sea, every hundred years a new turtle emerges once in the sea trying to get his head into a hole in a tree. A hundred years old turtle emerging from the sea to find a way to get into the puddle of fruit is really hard! It is difficult for us to be made back because of this world, few people can keep the five precepts.

Many question the current population of over 7 billion people, compared with the birth of the human population a few times more. Thus, the Buddha said the body is difficult to be afraid that there is confusion. We read carefully the sutras that the Buddha said in this vast universe consists of three realms of six reincarnations. Devotees heaven when the blessing will be down to earth so the number of people increased. The number of people in this world is the number we can count on. But is there anyone who can count the number of animals from large to small, from the air, the ground and the water? They have countless numbers that can not be counted, it is clear that the human body is difficult to be in the future is reasonable.

Let's imagine, in a small village, the number of people in our village can be counted, but how many buffalos, cows, goats, dogs, cats, pigs, chickens and ducks. just like the animals, there are countless nest ant colonies and countless flies, mosquitoes, bugs, aphids, worms, crickets ...; Not to mention the underwater species such as fish, snails, eels, crabs, tortoises, shrimps, chickens if we can statistically?

We see, in the deep forests, in the sea, in the sky, our lives have countless billion billions of species that can not be counted. It is evident that the three lower realms, due to ignorance, confuse the animals with bad karmic retribution, until they pay off the bad ones they are reborn as human but without true knowledge.

In short, the number of 7 billion people in this world is so small compared to the countless number of animals that can not be counted. Thus, in the reincarnation of samsara is really back to make people extremely difficult, if the fall into the animal road to know when to return to human beings, true Buddhists need to understand and clear the place This. So what do we want to be back?

Buddha teach, want to be back to being human life, this life must hold five moral, or five. It is not killing animals, robbing space, living in monogamy, not lying to harm people, not drinking or smoking cigarettes, drugs, opium and put toxic substances into the muscle. can

The first does not kill the object, we first do not kill even if you kill yourself or use your mouth to tell others to kill, or listen to kill each other happy heart, happy to agree. To do so is to commit the murder, depending on the severity of the consequences. In addition, we must limit the maximum not to kill from large animals to small animals, which is not mandatory for the layman, but who keep it completely is very good.

Second precepts are not occupied robbery. Theft is sneaky to the man who knows or steals, stalking. Robbery is openly publicized, taken in front of people or abused to exploit others. Robbery compared to the crime of stealing many times heavier should result in heavier.

The third precept is not sexual immorality, that is, relations with other spouses. We have a family, then do not adultery, lang with other people.

The fourth precept is not to lie to people. Lie is not true. Lie has two main motives. The first motivation is to talk to deceive people to take advantage of themselves. The second motive is the evil one, so we do not sin, but we slander and slander them so that they can be put to death. In short, lying to harm people because of greed or evil is a crime.

About Thursday we can not drink alcohol, smoke marijuana or inject drugs such as drugs, drugs ...

People have taken great care of their lives, why do we want to kill others? If we kill people, the network will have to pay for their lives, then they will be sentenced to death from the tens of years until their deaths. That is to say according to the law of the world, the law of cause and effect will follow us as shadows with the picture from life to life to pay off when adequate conditions.

We know how to respect their property, others also know how to respect, preserve their property. If we violate the property of the people, they will definitely seek to get back with many tricks. Theft robbery deception of the other consequences of prison life imprisonment, retribution will be poor tomorrow, miserable.

We know the importance of family happiness so we do not want anyone to be a third person, if we are going to suffer extremely, sometimes lead to insanity or because of jealousy and seek to kill. Anyone who follows the press will find that many of the cases are due to unknown monogamy.

We want to be intelligent, wise and wise, but drinking too much alcohol will be dull for too long, if excessive will lead to neuropathy or madness. Smoking marijuana, smoking drug addicts make me feel like the realms in the realms, until we lack we will be mad because of abuse, struggling in pain. Someone can not bear to be forced to rob the robber or cheat of others to satisfy this foolish fun.

The Buddha advised the true Buddhists to keep the five precepts to be ensured as a person with good moral character. If we present life to round the five precepts, who now dare to contempt or not praise me anymore? Buddha who keep the 5 precepts will deserve the title of good man in the present and tomorrow. On the contrary, those who commit crimes such as stealing or robbing others will first be imprisoned and then despised, dared not to be close.

We all want to live long life and rich again. Long live longer but have more money, we must keep the first two are not killing and not stealing. Many people live long enough money but ugly appearance, so want to be beautiful must keep the sex not sex and sexual abstinence.

We have been living longevity, wealth and beauty, but the speech disability is difficult to hear or dumb, who would not? Certainly not, so we have to keep the precepts do not lie to people later life speaks fluency, is loved and godly.

How foolish or foolish? We must avoid drinking alcohol or injecting drug addiction, we will not sow madness or mental illness.

Buddha's body is difficult to be so we want to be the next life integrity, then try to preserve the five precepts. To be so sure that we will be good in the present and tomorrow. However, today we are human body but each person due to accumulation of different karma should think, talk, work of each one no one like.

In this world, how many people hold five rounds. Therefore, when the loss of this body must fall into three paths of hell, hungry ghosts, more animals are back to be human is natural. So, the Buddha said body is very difficult to be that.

The ancients said:  

Thousands of iron flowers are easy to plant,

Human body if it is difficult to get back.

This is a profound metaphor expressing the rare, difficult meaning. The ironwork that blossoms is ridiculous! However, the thousand years can also flowering flowers, reproducing the human body is even harder because the majority of people rarely keep the five precepts. This is a scene that helps us to remember in every moment that we try to keep the moral.

We are now made people because of many previous lives we have the practice, precepts. Yet some people have ruined themselves, as sad as they think of death because they think death is suffering. It is the misreading of the ignorant, they do not know that death is to destroy their own lives, the more will fall into the dark, urgent, suffer more suffering without end.

We see the buffalo when the owner yoke yoke pulling the car pulling it very hated should use the horn yawn broken it. It does not doubt to break the old yoke, the boss to the new one more sure. Buffalo farming is living according to the customary business, as long as the old debt pay off, the new car pulling.

Having been human body but also encountered the Dharma, it is blessed many lifelong learning, keeping the world. However, Buddhism is difficult to hear. Why? Because there are many people do not listen to the two words of Buddhism, or have heard the French but do not understand. As we know, Buddhism only speaks truth, only truth but contrary to the greed, selfishness of people so difficult to receive, hard to hear is. Because they are difficult to hear, so they have no chance to listen to the Dharma. We are lucky to meet the Dharma, we must try to learn, when listening, we must contemplate, contemplate and apply in daily life. That is tu.

We must learn the way Buddhism teaches "Three wisdom", ie "literature, tu, tu". "Van" is listening to the Buddha's teachings and thinking, contemplating, testing to know the real-fake, until then new practices by let go of evil thoughts and correct the wrong behavior damaging people and things.

When we know how to make good use of ourselves, to see the true value of being able to rely on one another to preserve our lives, we need to have the responsibility to love one another, to help one another. friendship in life.

According to Buddhism, it is not compulsory for Buddhists to hear and believe, but when they hear, we have to contemplate and reflect on the truth and then believe in it and try to practice it. That is the true belief after the arising of wisdom.

The majority of men are heavy in alcohol, gambling, and prostitution. The heavy female liar or jealousy, jealousy. Many women trading in the coal market that do not lie is difficult to sell, they have defamation so excessive that visitors pay any kind of stick. True Buddhists must say the right price for customers to trust next time to buy more and introduce more people to buy. If you know how to cultivate, we still do the right thing. The long-term will become a bad habit, we will lie because too greedy, would rather accept a little bit of words but keep the long term trade.

Dhamma is very difficult to hear because contrary to their own desires, I am the Buddha that teaches to reduce greed and detachment, not only do not participate but also to donate donations, help others. However, the person who has the faith, the deep conviction of sin, will find a way to end evil doing good to transform suffering, pain into happiness, happiness.

As you are Buddhist when listening to the law or reading business, you have to contemplate, reflect and then apply the practice. Although it seems difficult initially, but later when wisdom arises we will know how to perfect ourselves. Buddhists at home because of circumstances are more constrained so can not cultivate as much as monks and nuns, just try to do a good two days each good.

When listening to the Buddha taught this body will be old-sick-death will know everyone body will ruin but not prepared to prepare. We wait when the body is about to collapse and then the sky blames the earth "why are you so miserable, heavenly stars do not save the ghost". God save because as relatives as parents, spouses, children must bear only.

The Buddha taught: "Only I do evil, only I do what is clean, sinful or pure is decided by me." The true Buddhist will know how to choose a good way. We ourselves ourselves, but no one else harms us.

Buddha says life is impermanent, life is only in the breath, breathe out without breathing in, as if this body is broken. But few people accept the life of a person in the breath, think that life lived for a hundred years. Even so, many people seek to immortal immortality but no one lives to die. Exhaling without breathing is dead, that is a truth that few will believe. So, Buddhism is difficult to hear that.

We have now encountered the Buddha Dharma, then we must try to hear the truth to break the attachment to the body to fall. When we find out that the true and the true of the body and the life will reduce all unnecessary needs, so we easily let go of affliction, suffering.

When it is difficult to know the body, Dharma hard to hear the more we must try to learn and practice to become better life. That is, we use this body to benefit ourselves and others. If we only eat, wear, so that full, comfortable, when the land near the sky do not know where to go.

Having a child play tricks on us to help her up and comfort a few words, this action does not cost the silver coin but also cause sympathy with the baby. Seeing an old man who wants to cross the street without a mentor, we just need to help him through the road. This action is not wasted money, only a small amount of work that helps to less anxiety, fear.

To the mind we always arise in mind. Mouth speaking comfort, sharing to help people reduce sadness to live happier. The body helps others when necessary work is not hard hardship. That is we use this temporary body to benefit people who still live peace, happiness.

In short, as a true Buddhist we always listen to the Buddha's teachings and then reflect, reflect on the real-fake so the repair is also light, not difficult. Next, we use our understanding to help other people get the right understanding and to practice together. It is we know how to apply the Buddha's teachings in daily life so that we always fulfill our responsibilities to our family and relatives and contribute to the society with our loving and understanding hearts.

BUDDHA LIVE LIVES IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES

People often say the joy through the long sad sorrow, it is a fact but few people think. People often regret the fun past and want to keep happy forever but not cultivated merit. When the sadness comes to them, playing with loneliness, desperate to accept the dark life without knowing how to overcome.

Desperate to work with the same habit repeated as many times as the timepiece clock, this life everyone wants to survive long life but not allowed. Because there is life there is death, there is a sum is divided, there will be lost. Everything is governed by impermanence, so desirable things that do not work out will cause us to suffer. Life can bring us much joy and happiness. Song, there are times when we are anxious, worried in the tired, despair that leads to despair.

In life, one must feel something more painful, suffering due to sickness and accidents caused in the body of his own mind. Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha once said that suffering is both physical and mental due to many causes. Humans begin suffering from birth because of past karmic effects on the present life.

The Buddha taught that curing mind is more important to the body because that is the cause of many sinful things. People with great compassion and good deeds, the mind will be less clouded by afflictions. If we perceive each and every thought, word and deed, we will know how to master ourselves to improve in every way.

A person with a healthy body but with greed, anger, ignorance, jealousy, jealousy and domination will suffer the consequences in this life and countless lives later. Body illnesses do pain, discomfort but mental illness makes us torture, miserable brain, sometimes lead to despair suicide suicide. The body is still suffering from the pain but the heart is not miserable because of the reason.

When looking at a circle we can not find the starting point, the source of ignorance too. Scientists have set a number of assumptions about the origin of the earth and the universe. However, the beginning of all phenomena, things in this vast cosmic universe are hardly any definite doctrine. The Buddha said that "this birth, the other birth, this kill the other kill" because all the origins of the origin of the causal relationship.

The good news we are receiving now is due to human causes. This report will become the next causal consequence from generation to generation according to the principle of dependent origination. We live as both receive the fruit and constantly create new people to follow. Obviously, cause and effect rotate continuously according to the principle "this one has the other, this is not the other".

The suffering is affected in reality.

a- Environment:

Even in our lives with the clear sky, the fresh air still has many pollutants or germs in the air created by humans because of greed and selfishness. The environment is a big cause of human life.

Relationship:

Relations in life can bring us much trouble. So who will be responsible for most of the suffering? Most people think that the enemy has made us suffer, but that is only partially true. The person who can make us suffer is our spouse, children or relatives, friends or colleagues. The one who makes us resentful is the most intimate of us.

Everyday, we not only have to deal with family, relatives but also many other people, there are people know, people do not know. Someone help me, some people want to stop me. Because the habits of living beings are greed, anger, ignorance, jealousy, jealousy and jealousy, which leads to hatred, so they speak vicious words, uncomfortable and willing to kill each other without regret.

c- emotional disturbance:

Our greatest enemy is not the confrontation but the individualism of each one. The ambition, distinguished by ideology, is largely responsible for our sorrow and suffering. We always change our emotions at every moment because of our attempts to fall down. I worry about being lost, right, wrong, more than good, bad to be born greed, anger and ignorance.

When psychological disturbed we panic, fear of increasing the sorrow and suffering. Whenever a problem occurs, we need to contemplate, to deepen our thinking, to transform the greed-enlightenment into infinite wisdom and compassion. When being greedy, selfishness can be observed as follows: "I'm greedy, I know I'm greedy, I know there are desires are blurring my mind." When observing such a natural state of mind will be greedily lost consciousness.

Let us look straight at what is happening as a mysterious reality. Live for today's hours because what comes will come, even if we do not want them to happen. The Buddha taught: "The past is not traced, the future does not desire, only the present, the insight is here."

Buddha wants to remind our awareness and understanding is very limited, we should not regret the past but to lose ourselves in the present. The past is over, we want to go back to grasp it also should not think, regret it only added sorrow. The future is far away in the horizon, no one knows how it will dream. We should only believe in the cause and effect, letting go of the past thoughts to live with the present moment. When we are greedy, we are angry, we know each other, so we will feel secure, gentle.

If we do not know to accept the present to live calm, secure with the loss, more than the loss of life, the color of his will quickly wither as green wiping off the branches. A human spirit of education that the Buddha taught is the spirit of living and content with what you have in the present. The Buddha said: " No more than the past,  do not expect the coming,  live with the present,  so good fresh.  Looking forward to work,  due to the work is over, so the dead withered, as wiping green leaves.

With human life we ​​do not have true knowledge, do not believe in the cause and effect, will always be blaming the land, hate the relatives, blame the society that accidentally lost themselves.

Psychologists analyze that the majority of suffering emotions are thought by many people to be disappointed by unreasonable things. When we make mistakes, we feel regret and regret. That will make us more hurt, more sorrow. So, let's rethink what we did and do it right or wrong. If it is actually an act of harm to others, let us examine our minds to see that we have acted improperly and repent. Thanks to that, we will reduce defilement, regret, rage and regret.

We often have the desire to grow and succeed fully. This psychologist always wants to exaggerate what he has. They want to show people about their influence and want to be human attention, should strive to create a good reputation for people to know more about them.

Normally, when achieving a certain purpose, complacency arises. That smug self makes us despise others. People who are too complacent about themselves are easily offended by others who irritate them. Due to the compressed anger in the heart so they hugged the grudge waiting for the opportunity to retaliate.

When we fail to achieve our goal, we become depressed, inferior, self-depressed because we do not have confidence in ourselves. People like that tend to blame others. We should not be pessimistic, depressed but lose ourselves. Change your mind and everything will brighten up.

First, let us think of cause and effect. It is a practical reality of life. We do whatever follows the law of causality. On the basis of causality, we believe that death is not the end, but the change of form, depending on the karma that has been sown in the present and the result in the future. When we believe in samsara we will easily accept what comes to us good or bad. 

All dharmas of change are due to the accumulation of cognitive and the interaction of various elements according to this principle, then the other does not, this one has the other. For example, the nucleus of a flower is a seed, but the country, light, sun and human care are the factors that affect the life of the plant. Not sure enough of the elements on the tree will wither and die slowly.

When we achieve what we want, we should not be too happy or proud. We should know that what we do today will change, so we should not be too disappointed in the face of obstacles, adversity. When the mind is calm, clear will help us easily let go of bad thoughts evil.

Everyone wants everyone to treat him well, but he rarely thinks about helping, sharing with others. There are many who make mistakes when they make mistakes, but when they see others making mistakes, they do not forgive but criticize.

We want to be calm, free in all circumstances, it is necessary to be able to enter the mind pure. When we are able to be compassionate, forgiving, and caring for others with the spirit of non-profit.

The Buddha said: "The past is past, the future has not come, live in the present moment." If we are too pity for the past, or dreaming about the future and are always bewildered, they will lose themselves in the present by losing, over losing, succeeding or failing.

BIRTHDAY LIVES WITH LIFE

In life, one may experience traumas, miseries that lead to frustration, discomfort, sorrow, pain. Disgruntled people always want to make things tense to create misunderstandings or grudges in various forms. The annoying person is the one who makes quarrels and annoys others.

The conflict between the children and the parents, between husband and wife, brothers, friends and colleagues cause us grief, because we can not control ourselves, so easily relieved of the burden on others. When we rise up in our feelings of grief, we easily digress and openly criticize their wrongdoings in front of the people of the galaxy.

In life we ​​can all play the role of a nasty person, by making sure there are many shortcomings, mistakes that easily make others sorrowful. Now, we will list some uncomfortable people.

There is a kind of person who is very upset about fanaticism, they believe in the superior, can kill the innocent because he believes that dying for the sake of heaven will enjoy the supreme blessing. Women are only dependent on them to give birth and satisfy the need for happiness. This uncomfortable person does not accept anyone but just admires the superior and wants everyone to believe in them. If they take power in their hands do not give us any choice but can only live, not follow death.

Another type of people think that death is no end, there is no karmic cause, so when they live in the art of creating more suffering, the pain of thinking everything will return to sand. However, this kind of discomfort if conscious a little will be the sacrifice of sacrifice for the common cause and live faithful to that ideal. If you do not have true knowledge, you will not accept the doctrine of samsara according to the good and bad karma. They claim that religion is the opium of humanity, leading to many blameworthy mistakes that harm many.

Another type of discomfort for the rest of his life desires, requiring everyone to be perfect, not wrong so they are very upset to see other people make mistakes. Unhappy people in this form always want people to follow a pattern with you, who else do it is uncomfortable. They do not understand the law of causation, causality and the practice of different people so there is a difference. It is an attachment that only sees themselves as good people and everyone is bad so in the end they are dissatisfied and fall into despair, not wanting to live with others.

Another type of uneasy people because of the unhappy situation does not find escape such as incurable diseases, broken families, couples betrayed, children die, white-handed career ... These people are uncomfortable People who are afflicted by affliction and greed because of this self-centered self, want to possess everything, such as feudal kings. That is about the old man unhappy.

Nowadays, more sophisticated men such as the great powers have taken advantage of advances in science to take advantage of the slow-moving and backward nature of natural resources. They often claim to be rulers of the world, because they do not submit to them, follow them or do not agree with them, they seek to force the right. The history of the human world has made it clear to us. Today's world of war martial arts slaughtered, killing each other is because of these nasty people.

People who do not have true knowledge, do not believe that they are Buddha, do not believe that he is his master of how to live happily greed, selfishness, win, grab to get more. Regardless of how miserable they are, they only know that they are eaten in front of them and are in control of their lives. They think it is God's grace for them. Their lives always create suffering, pain for everyone because of misconceptions have a god, god bless the map, set things.

Grasping, dragging on, storing, the container is a bad habit of ignorance that self is the center of the universe. People from the early toddler know how to crawl crawling to grab the object before the eyes. If you grab it, put it into your mouth without any discrimination. Growing up, we grasp, accept and be more upset when we find ourselves marginalized than others.

Due to clinging, we try to grasp, hold on, regret, and feel irritated, irritated, and embarrassed to make others suffer. When one grows up without being satisfied, the more satisfied the more frustrated, the more suffering, the less suffering.

We need to understand not holding does not mean that there is nothing, not even a cup to eat. We still hold the glass to drink water but we do not stick to it, if we break the glass we still do not regret the cheap, angry or angry, irritated or scolded, beat others.

Compassion is the source of all sufferings of suffering, whether it is good or bad. We can not want people to be like us, nor can we use pressure to force them to change. The only way we can help them is to look at ourselves, to be aware of our own power to have compassion, tolerance and forgiveness that love and support each other.

Let us empathize for the upset because they are not in control of themselves and are in extreme suffering. At times like that they will pour out all anger, anger on others. Even, they can raise the lower leg that creates suffering, pain for their own family.

Unhappy people do not know how to control, so they add fuel to the fire, making the matter even more foul. They are in despair so they are very angry with fish cutting boards and need help. If we reflect in depth, we will see that they are in a state of complete agony without the means to escape, so we have more mercy on them. In the meanwhile, although they try to restrain themselves in many ways, their speech as they emit is like a sharp knife to each other's flesh.

If we face casual people often without advising them, we should try to avoid them for "avoiding the wrong elephant". But because of the charm that must meet them, to contact them, we must do? We have to learn to accept this uncomfortable situation.

We will find ourselves falling into a situation where we will be criticized, criticized by the disgruntled person, right now, if we are not aware then everything will fall apart. Through awareness in every moment we know that we are facing the fire of anger so we calm down, naturally find a way out.

We use the insight of the Buddha to enlighten ourselves that has compassion and forgiveness for them. Let's observe this body of causal harmony that should not be true. What is we, is we, we do not accept this body to fall, there is nothing to make us move, depressed, suffering.

When faced with a discomfort, you have to know how to listen to the causes that help them. What are they saying, what do they want, regretting about the past or dreaming for the future that they lose themselves in the present? At such stressful times, we must use the knowledge of the truth to listen to their minds, to look at their positive side. They are trying to relieve all pressure from the outside weighing on their minds. By sympathy, tolerance and generosity, we need to help them return to reality, not because of deep feelings but by losing oneself. This is also a good opportunity to realize the results of the practice from the long ago by the wisdom of the Tathagata. When you think good people are less jealous, jealousy without criticism, wrong about them. 

In the past, an ancestor used skilful means to teach his disciples. He took a small glass of salt and then stirred the water to stir the students to drink. The disciple sipped water was frowning face said salt water, can not drink. The teacher took another gravy salt as well as the salt before the water into the pond and then told the disciple to taste. This time, the student tasted without feeling annoyed because of the bitterness.

Then the teacher slowly said: "The extreme suffering is like drinking a glass of salty water. However, if we know wisdom, wisdom practice as the Buddha taught, to hold the precepts, meditation and compassion is the same as we use that amount of salt mixed into a lake. The salty taste of salt water is dissolved so we still drink normally without feeling annoyed by its bitter salty taste. Therefore, whenever things are not satisfied as we open our hearts with compassion and wisdom to re-enlighten ourselves, then things must be wrong, good and bad, right and wrong, to be lost. Loss can dissolve into nothingness. "

In short, all those who are uncomfortable in any form due to this self-centered self-discipline are mine, that one should see this body as real, thinking mind is the same from which they fight. scramble to seize, leading to the massacre, killing each other mercilessly.

According to the Buddha's teachings, there is a method to help people with discomfort. Why do we make people uncomfortable? Because we do not have great compassion. "From" is happy, "ball" is to save suffering. To change our discomfort, we have to be compassionate and understanding, forgiving. When loving someone, I will never be annoyed with them. True love is often accompanied by compassion, that is, happiness and suffering.

When there is a loving heart and understanding in human life, the mind will easily spread to help others and will not be angry when the person is ungrateful. Every time you see someone uneasy, you feel like you need to do something to help him or her have the energy to restore peace and happiness.

One saw a scorpion drowning in a puddle and wanted to save it, so he quickly picked it up and placed it in a safe place, but the scorpion shot him a shot of pain. However, because of wanting to cross the road, it goes on and eventually falls into another pool. This time, he was about to drown and picked it up again and it was injected just like before. His hands are swollen and painful.

Another person who witnessed the scene from start to finish said, "Why are you so foolish? You are insane when it comes to rescuing a scorpion without gratitude. "The man replied happily," Sir, I can not see the scorpion drowning. He knew that the habit and nature of the scorpion was to be injected when someone touched it. It is the self-defense reaction, it only lives according to the gas, habits without reflection. And my habit is to be ready to help when it comes to predestination, I would rather suffer a little to save the scorpion. "

In this case, if we deduce that a man can take a branch to pick up a scorpion, he will not be given a shot. But because here he thought saving a scorpion in trouble was necessary, how he would calculate after.

This story implies the great compassion of the man when he wants to save another life even if it is just a lowly animal. This shows us that people who have open hearts when they help people in danger will not have calculations because we, people, sentient beings. His virtue is to always help, to share with humanity in life with the heart of love and understanding.

Therefore, having great love drives us to be ready to help others regardless of skin color, religion or race. If we all know how to nurture true love with our daily reflection, we will see that the person and the object have no one, only the one who has not sympathized with one another. Thus, when living with the discomfort we are still, happy right here and now.

THE BUDDHIST BEGINS IN EVERYTHING

Stay in the busy work

In life, whatever the circumstances, we must also cultivate virtue to improve ourselves. Many people think that monasticism is reserved for the monk or the free man, the surplus of money; I do not work hard, rice is not enough food, clothes are not enough to wear, life shortage difficult, the time where tu tu. Or there are many people think of the practice of the elderly, the poor miserable, orphans or widow, birth disease ...; We have a lot of money, children are full of children, high authority to do what.

Because of such concepts, some people think that tuition for the suffering, living enjoyment happier than the stars. They do not know that if we cultivate the world will reduce social evils, people will unite love, help each other with the human spirit in life with selfless heart, selfless.

The human world has many religions, political doctrines with different philosophies. If we do not know how to choose the right path, we will fall into the darkness. Some people say that religion is good, saying it is not right. Which religion teaches you how to master yourself, believe in causality, do not kill animals and love equality, everyone is really good religion.

Human beings are always on the mind of good and bad confused, if we let go of love in the mind of evil evil will cause suffering for many people. In order to limit evil thoughts we must expand our compassionate heart to transform suffering, pain into joy and happiness.

If evil bad thoughts will gradually decrease, good thoughts will grow over time, so that we will improve and always fulfill the obligation to family, relatives and contribute practical benefits to the commune. Assembly.

Many people are busy taking care of their livelihoods, so it is best to stay home from dawn to dusk and return home when it is dark. If we advise them to chant, meditate, meditate, they certainly can not do. But to say that the people who will not work?

We have to understand that here is to let go of bad thoughts hurt people and things, to nurture good thoughts to love each other, help each other. Tu is turning violent, evil speech into gentle words, love glasses, stop the bad actions evil hurt other people, create good actions to share with everyone. Thus, even in the chaos of work we can still cultivate.

In the same way we work, we do just that, just focus on the work we do. From the director to the staff, they all have to focus on their work. After completing the assignment, the director shall perform the task of monitoring and supervising in order to promptly solve difficulties and uncertainties. An accountant who is focused on typing should calculate the correct, no wrong number. She cleaned work only focused on the work will see clearly cleaned and cleaned thoroughly. The guard often monitors people in and out of the office so they know each other, so control and strict management of every problem. And all the boards of the masses, so everyone has their own responsibility and only focus on the work assigned to complete the task,

Being in the job is a necessary condition that everyone must be aware of, because the mind is clearly observed, so we work less tired and less time-consuming. If you do not know how to concentrate, you will waste time wasting your time.

Here in the workplace will help us know how to neutralize many things with our own experience, from which it is easy to control the unrighteous mind arising that fulfills the responsibility assigned.

Many people do not know whether to complain or stay in the new temple is tu, or in the paintings and glasses there is no one to cultivate, or to be retired in a new place is tu ... If we all want to tu as Then this society will be disregarded because no one is working, contributing to what to eat to live. That concept is only suitable for some people who are old, lose their labor, or money to live, or tired of urban scenes, racing to win ...

Tu during the sale

Buyers in the market must also know how to cultivate, first is to speak soft, harmonious, easy to hear. When the guests should not be too challenging, it is best to say the price, if guests do not buy or pay too low, should be happy, open, do not show the attitude of grumbling, exasperated. Many people because of superstition, so early morning guests open the goods that do not buy, then burn the hair, booing, curse um, wholesale so gradually lost customers.

This life is the capital of buying and selling is not compulsory, people who know how to buy and sell in the way to attract customers, keep long-term relationship should be popular people.

In fact, it is the business to trade that we have good thoughts should utter gentle words, have a sincere and sincere attitude makes customers love. Therefore, people come to buy more and more so the purchase is easy to prosper.

A typical example is that the price of 2000 dong, but the customer paid only 1000 thousand, so the price of how to sell? In this case if the sellers do not know how easy it will say gruff, rude to offend the guest.

In contrast, the smart sellers just cheerfully said softly: "She sympathy, she bid not enough capital so she can not sell. You go to other places to ask, if you sell the same price she came back to buy help for me, I thank you very much. "We say that so everything will be quiet, hear the ears without any disadvantage but also Keeping long term relationship in buying and selling.

Before things are not satisfied as we know to control the temper, speak softly, choose mild words to explain to customers, it is smart in the middle of the place. In the middle of the market is not always able to satisfy the world with all the things that happen every day. If we do not know how to cultivate during the sale, everything will break down. Therefore, the ancient people said "most of the market, second tu tu pagoda, three tu mountain" is so.

In short, buying and selling in the market must keep the world not to lie, do not say bad words hard to hear, let alone speak verbally say but also say soft words soft. It is the people who know how to cultivate in the crowded place.

Here in the field

Farmers, grow crops to provide food, food for human beings must also cultivate. Due to many steps from sowing, tending, plowing, fertilizing to fertilizing in accordance with the process, so if the time is not good results should be focused on work so easy. Easy to observe closely, so the calculations work in accordance with the time allowed.

Farmers who work in the field must always think "diligently, diligently to do the right technique for rice to hit the season with food for the family, if there is surplus, then share to others." Farmers in the land, grass plowing, sowing, fertilizer should focus and start thinking good, do know that work, so is cultivating. Seeing the paddies next to their fields, they are not jealous of the jealousy but happily congratulate them on their rice harvest and the family's warmth. Thus, we do not hate, jealousy should not be angry, sad. That's how I learned to cultivate.

People who know how to cultivate at the farm will be aware not to use more chemicals but only use the dosage allowed, so that the flowers to consumers are not badly affected by toxic substances. Many people because of excessive greed want to profit high so the money blinded, this afternoon they spray the drug that tomorrow to sell it immediately so people eat easily poisoned. People nowadays many illnesses also because people do not know the cause and effect, only the immediate benefits to yourself that hurt a lot of other people.

While we are pulling grass, fertilizing, fertilizing the flowers that initiate the bad thoughts that neglect the work, we turn to ourselves by initiating good thoughts, thus bringing good results. That is the cult.

During school

We will first talk about how your children are busy studying, examining, if you know how to cultivate the children will achieve good results. When they go to school, they have to think that "I try to learn well so that I can repay my parents, my career, and my future to fulfill my duties and responsibilities to my family and relatives. contributing to society and improving oneself. That's the thought of the smart student.

Looking for the future, while working in the school, young people must focus on learning to acquire rich and varied knowledge with genuine knowledge. Learning does not mean just going to school and reading a lot of books, or learning a real career and making a lot of money to enjoy. The purpose of learning is to become a person with the right meaning, ie, a person who is perfect in every aspect, both competent and ethical, always fulfilling responsibilities for family, relatives and To commit to contributing to the society.

First, learning is the shining example of our predecessors, the great people, that is, we imitate the benefits of the water that the ancients did. We learn to distinguish the right, the bad, the false, the less, the false. Seeing the good we have to imitate. To see evil and harm to yourself and others, we seek to avoid, or not to follow. The wise person is the learned person to absorb the good and remove the bad. That is how we know how to cultivate.

From the basic understanding through studying in the school, the family is the direct environment that teaches the children about morality. We can not just study theories, but we must study, reason, test and distinguish good and bad, right and wrong. Let's not believe too much in books, but learn to reflect on the true nature of it and apply it to everyday life.

In addition, we have to try and be highly determined in learning to expect good results in the future, to have such an effort to learn as soon as the new parents. They can bring their abilities and knowledge to teach their children to help them be aware of their learning without the parents.

Students should remember that if we do not have the will to be independent, then there is little chance of success. Such people, even if their parents try to care, worry and help, can not help them advance. In the end, these people only feed on their families, relatives because of their dependence and not on society.

We learn to master ourselves through positive thinking, reflective thinking to recognize the truth of life and learn to live with others without harming one another. Most of us are just learning to make money, to have stable jobs. That is the way to learn to do business.

There is another very important point about learning that is learning to improve your level of understanding and knowing how to perfect yourself that most people today are less interested in.

We learn to develop our own capacity, so that we know how to master ourselves, know the value of life in your life. That is the main purpose of learning. When we have learned how to develop our own capacity, to see the real value of life is to rely on each other to develop well, it is necessary to have the responsibility to love and support each other. friendship in life.

We learn how to be a filial son to parents and grandparents by virtue of "drinking water, remembering the source, eating the fruit, remembering the planters" is a true ethic indispensable in daily life. Parents are the ones who give birth to themselves, take care of them, nourish themselves very hard, hard and also care for themselves from eating to learning, until he grew up his wife husband and also divide his inheritance. Parents are the first teacher to teach us people. Gratitude to parents is as high as the sea without anything can be equal. Therefore, children must know love, respect and gratitude to parents.

As a child, we just need to express gratitude to our parents by listening to our parents, diligently study and love our parents. When we grow up, we express our gratitude to our parents by fulfilling their duties and responsibilities to their families, relatives, wholeheartedly serving their parents, caring for their parents, respecting their parents. and help parents when their parents need it. We can do that to call a filial son and to be called an educated person. If we do these things, then we can be classified as unpaid children.

In the sins, the greatest sin is the unfaithfulness because the parents are the ones who have great gratitude, but we are not grateful and rewarded, so we can help, share with others. Man, once committed to the crime of negligence, is not evil but does not dare to do.

Through scholarship sponsorship program entitled "Connecting the love and sharing life" of the Association of Songs of Tranquility - Charity Coastal for us to work for students in difficult remote areas. Want to send a message about learning. It is to learn to improve the level of knowledge, to know deeply, to know how to perfect themselves to fulfill the obligations to family, relatives and contribute to practical benefits to society.

We need to focus on learning from a young age and continue to learn, cultivate until the old dead. Learning must include listening and reading, research, reflection and know how to apply, practice. From thought to speech, action must also be learned. It is the children learn properly according to the Buddha's teaching is "literature, tu, tu". Thus, while studying the pupils are still able to cultivate.

Tu during research, teaching

During the study, teaching is the focus of lesson preparation, focusing on the content to deploy. When finished, we should read from 3 to 5 times to understand the general content. Before the lecture within an hour we do not need to think about anything but just take care of your breath, breathe in and know that you breathe in, breathe out, you know you breathe out, just look at the breath No need to argue. As a result, the mind is calm, clear, when teaching what to remember we will immediately help the listener clear.

On the part of the listener, too, just focus on listening without starting or stopping discrimination. We listen only to learning that we know how to practice and apply in life.

The person who teaches Buddhism first needs to know the basics of people and know what they are trying to hear. If we guide the Dharma that they can not practice it is not true that the Buddha.

In the past, when the Buddha wanted to guide whoever he was, he contemplated the conditions of the present day to be able to reach the people by grasping the needs they desperately need after lecturing so many religious leaders. . Today, when the teachings do not distinguish the level of their base, only one side speaks to their understanding, so listeners do not understand, do not know how to practice.

It is a difficult problem because the Dharma speaks for the layman with a clear difference to laypeople, so we can not equate it. In a congregation of about 100 people who have at home about 1000 people, so we have to say how suitable.

It is best to clearly distinguish between the seminarians who are ordained for the layman and those who have been ordained for the lay person. Such teaching will help the listener easily. It is tu know in the field of research, teaching.

While driving 

When driving, we use our mind to operate. Eyes looking forward to observe things, glance right, left to see other means. Driving, pedaling, pedaling, reducing gas. Earpiece listen to the trumpets of other vehicles to know which give way.

Before driving, we must remember how many lives we have in our car, so we must ensure the following principles: Before driving, do not drink alcohol. A driver must not run for more than 8 hours continuously, but must change to ensure safety for passengers. Often accidents occur because the driver is too tired to sleep, drink alcohol or mind fluctuating, remember thinking so lung should not master while driving.

Driving while driving requires the driver to be sensitive, expert to respond to sudden accidents. Therefore, we have to use the mind to observe and combine all the operations, just ignorance or hope a little accident occurred.

Folk have a sentence, "as a driver in a leg in prison, a leg outside life." Therefore, while driving, the driver needs to be fully aware, looking ahead at a distance, lowering the accelerator pedal or increasing the speed must ensure traffic safety laws. It is good practice while driving.

Stay in poverty

We can be poor, money poor, short of all things but not poor in thought, speech to action. Therefore, we can transform our bad thoughts and evil into good and good thoughts.

In ancient times, we do not know how to say the word hard to hear, or curse others, now know how to speak quietly, sincere, or change the act of harming people to help, sharing is we know. in thoughts, words and actions. This does not require us to have a lot of money or to be free.

Right in the poor life, lack of difficulty, we rethink why we are poor and other people are rich. Poor is due to not knowing donation, offering or helping, sharing when people see misfortune, suffering.       

In life no one can live independently without dependence on others. Dependent dependent parents, interdependent dependent families, family dependent societies. They all have a strong connection through their relationship and business dealings.

People who are wealthy, besides having to rely on their own efforts, need to have the direct or indirect help of many others. The unemployed, poor or just doing hard work, hard work and income is not enough to live is not know how to sow good manners in the past or do not work hard life or liberal life.

Human desire is limitless, greed like a bottomless well. When we have high authority, we will seek for ourselves, our family and our country so that war is everywhere because of the struggle and appropriation.

We live simple and want to know less is the secret to happiness, happiness. Reduce a bit of desire, too much desire to have time to return to yourself that know how to master yourself.

Many people think that poverty is a result of heaven, so it sounds unfair. If the man decides the fate of man, why not give all people a meal, warm clothes and live peace, happiness?

In society, if everyone believes in cause and effect, knowing how to help others with loving heart and understanding, poverty will gradually be transformed, changed over time. As there are poor people who always come up with good thoughts, gentle gentle words, honest actions that help others should be loved, loved close and help. On the other hand, if we are in a difficult situation, we always think badly, complain or blame others, hateful speech, brutal actions will make people shunned.

The poor, but with little money, hard life, but still open hearted, gentle words, noble actions, although living in poverty, but still happy and happy to know with the present. Husband and wife know how to respect each other, children are always generous with parents and grandparents, brothers and sisters know how to help each other, parents raise children in accordance with the spirit of cause and effect " do evil suffer. It is poor people know how to cultivate.

When sickness sickness

Many people think it is good to stay healthy when they are sick. This is also the understanding of some who do not know very well how to practice. If we think that when chanting, repenting or meditating is tu, we have misunderstood. The practice is derived from thoughts, words and actions, so even when the disease is more diligent try to cultivate more.

There are two forms of sickness and mental illness, but many illnesses are caused by mental illness. Why are we sick? Because the mind is so greedy, we eat too much, which is why we eat so much that accidentally bring many poisoned food into the body. Because of greed, we become addicted to greed, so we want to be happy, unexpectedly happy in our pleasures, which causes many illnesses to return to our suffering.

The main transformation is to transform defilement-tham-an-si, where tham-san-si from? From my thoughts. When starting bad thoughts, we manage in many ways, such as reciting the Buddha-Bodhisattva's name, thinking of breathing or seeing it as false hope. It is not practice when chanting, sitting meditation is tu. If so, how many hours a day, other hours I do not practice or not?

People who suffer from polio should stay in one place so they should take care of the recitation of the Buddha or the Bodhisattva concept. At this time, all anxiety and anxiety must be set aside. This is a good opportunity for the patient to concentrate on spiritual practice, let's say he is dead, the obstacle here.

Our world today has so many diseases because of environmental pollution, food contamination and human over-feeding. Do not cherish your health should hurt this body. Some people throughout their lives are always sick, when they are so, then we must know that we have planted too many killings. We should often repent to stop the old karma, not to relapse again, on the other hand or help the rescuer, thereby reducing the chronic illness.

When we find a cure for a doctor, go to the hospital to monitor, take medicine and abstinence, and at the same time be diligent repentance for karma to be eliminated, to do good to turn bad karma The disease will slowly reduce or disappear. 

Many illnesses are caused by bleeding that is not regular due to less physical activity. Therefore, one of the most effective preventive measures is to work hard, to exercise, to walk, to swim, to garden, to clean the house and to bow to the Bodhisattva every day.

As in the case of the head of the acephalon acute illness near death. The Buddha told him Sariputta and Ananda visited him. During the visit he said: "My body aches, what do you teach me to overcome this pain?" His senses are as follows. This eye is not me, I am not trapped in this eye, when seen just see, see all images of green, yellow, red, white things are clear without sticking to them, ears tongue-tongue-like also.

Practitioners here, head level Graduated Indirectly touched that two lines fall, in the joyous joy. Ananda asked him: "Layman, why are you crying? Do you regret anything? Or is this method too high, he can not receive it? "Chief Anonymous replied," Dear Ananda, I am not sad or sorry. I cry because I have many opportunities to serve the Dharma that until now to hear the dharma, so that your mind and body feel calm, gentle. "When the two teachers and relics retired on the level of the self-level of natural self-discharge report that the body was born in heaven thirty-three.

The above conditions in the pathogenesis of the disease we cite here for you to learn together that apply in daily life. If someone does not practice the Buddha-Bodhisattva recitation but prefer to contemplate, test the contemplation of this body is the root of suffering, is impermanent corrupt due to old-sick-death so do not cling to This body, so easily let go of the mind is the true self.

Drink while eating

At the moment of increasing human development, human beings enjoy full material facilities, but vice versa, they pollute the environment so the food is heavily poisoned. Hospitals overload because of too many patients, the main cause is not known air conditioning in eating.

The layman in the workplace should not know how to regulate the body, so easily depressed, suffering, sickness and insecurity, anxiety, fear. All of us are blinded by obscurity, so when there is no clear perception in the world, so we just enjoy the food that ruthless killing animals. There are necessary things that we do not worry, just trying to worry about the not important but forget the long-term benefits.

In life we ​​usually only eat and drink and that is the main problem. Therefore, we work hard days, hard to only eat with food so delicious to kill the species and then attached to that bad consequences when the necessary conditions. Eat must be delicious dishes or delicacies fine, when the high authority to eat, sit on the front, to force others to provide adequate needs.

The two major parts of our body are the kidneys and the liver. Renal regulation of toxins by water and sweat. If the kidneys are weak or impaired, it can cause heart disease and high blood pressure, stroke and stroke. Eating too much grease, hot items from fried frying, using alcoholic beverages such as alcoholic beverages, leading to liver disease, hepatitis, hepatitis B, C and cancer is inevitable. When a disease has arisen without dying immediately, it also wastes money, afflicting family, relatives and after death it is easy to be misled.

Eating in this day must be noble and conscious, if we accept "want less know enough" then we will be less sick. Before eating healthy and nutritious foods, we should whisper in our mouths: "Only eat foods that help prevent disease and nourish the body. It is that we always live in awareness when eating and when cooking.

Home-grown people should eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, eat less meat, and be less selective because of the large number of illnesses that result from poor or unpredictable eating. pure food. We reduce the fat to avoid heart disease, high blood pressure and liver cancer.

In order to balance our daily diet, we need to have enough nutrients from meat, fish and fiber in vegetables, beans and fruits. Fiber helps to digest easily and remove unnecessary fat for the body. In general, boiled and fried foods are better fried, fried, grilled. In addition, we should pay attention to the use of yin and yang in the art of cooking and eating of the Vietnamese. Accordingly, the type of fish meat is usually negative with cooking spices and vegetables are positive and vice versa.

For physical food, the Buddha taught people not to eat much, eat only enough to help the body healthy, should not eat what is not suitable for the body. Vietnamese diets are relatively healthy, but their diets are typically palatial, palatable and may lack the necessary nutrients or nutrients.

We live for the sins of animals to eat, which leads to evil karmic retribution, so we have to suffer bad news when we have enough predestined conditions. After the killing, we must know how to repent and do good deeds, which can turn bad karmic retribution.

Only Buddhism can explain the cause of the war of slaughter, killing each other. We can see that the fruit is known as the melon is known that the melon is from melon seeds that have. At present, human beings suffering war consequences resulting in pain, death to many people suffering is caused by the killing of mankind.

There are three main causes of killing, one is direct killing and the other is the killing of others and the killer is happy to agree. Some people do not believe in cause and effect, but also that heaven is the creature to serve people should be killed. Folk have the sentence "oan left owner", assuming there are hundreds of thousands of lives, the bad karma of each person will also create will not lose. Be aware, between the cause and effect, there will be support, when the full meeting conditions will be fruit.

In Buddhism, the issue of eating is not a top priority. Whether eating salty or vegetarian we should also eat simple, simple to spend time devoted to the study and benefit for everyone. People want to live a relaxed life, should not be too dependent on eating.

In short, the problem of eating salty and vegetarian is quite a bit of delicate aspect, in limited and limited scope we do not dare to discuss much, just repeating the ancient saying: "Eat to live. You do not have to live to eat. " That is, human beings born on this earth in addition to eating to save lives, we also have to fulfill the responsibility for family, relatives and contribute to the practical benefits to society.

Therefore, religious practitioners who practice Buddhism or at home must also be aware of this place when eating. When we eat, we only know that we are eating, salty, sour, bitter, tasty delicious we all know clearly. When eating, we conceive that eating is not living to eat. As a result, I am in control of eating and drinking without being misled up, so I live simple and simple.

Stay in the bath, get dressed

Many people listen to the practice while bathing, dressing is a bit strange, but we have to practice in all circumstances to be. You will hear our guide will see the value and practical benefits of it. When you go to the bathroom and peel off your clothes, you will see your true self. Likewise, when we let go of the defilement of greed-

Women take longer baths than men because they appreciate this body, so they pay attention to each skin of their own meat should watch and scrub thoroughly, especially those who have husbands have a baby. Women are afraid of bad, afraid of old, afraid of fear, afraid of her husband, afraid of loneliness and countless other fear, so when the bath must use more soap, fragrant water. Bathing is like losing yourself because of attachment, attachment to this body too much.

The fat woman will be very miserable because she thinks she no longer attractive to her husband or lover or the opposite sex, it is the pain of the beauty of women. Too skinny, the body looks like a dry bone, who touches the tree as if. In general, too much or too fat a woman feels extremely miserable.

We bathe for the purpose of cleansing the dirt after a day or a day of work to remove impurities in the body. When we take a cold shower, we feel the warm water all over our body. When we take a hot shower, we feel its warmth. Bathing is not attached to the body.

People in the bath life only know that they are bathing without looking at, looking at the body, so that while bathing feel secure, gentle. Bathing is that we are learning to cultivate because not busy by the body or bad old bad.

Clothing is the main purpose is to cover the body is not worn out, but I think to wear clothes to show off beautiful people, so it costs too much shopping. The Vietnamese woman in modern times is gradually losing her three-piece or long dress, instead of short skirts, open-neck dresses, braised chest to show off the charm, unknowingly make the men contemplate. , stick to it.

Often, women are heavy in attachment, ie heavy affection, so beauty is the essence of beauty; But we have to know the harmony in moderation, just less time spent less money, so also reduce the desire for self-attachment is true.

Dress casual, neat is the cultural beauty of Vietnamese women. The beauty of the woman is beautiful in the heart, beautiful in virtue, beautiful in altruism. So the ancient people said: "The sting of death is beautiful."

Men are simpler in dressing up but stick to cigarettes, alcohol, guppy, enjoy too much animal food. People who drink alcohol eat a lot of fresh seafood, so there will definitely be no compassion in the manners, so will be responsible for later consequences such as illness, memory loss, neurological disorders and personality. borrowing revenge has no end date.

We are the self that self is self is self should do anything to me, because I, from that passion passionate, greedy want to take over for myself. Let us regularly observe that this body is corrupt impermanent, so everyone is old-sick-death, so we reduce attachment, attachment but easy to practice.

So, while bathing, getting dressed is very important. Only we have to do it ourselves every day, if aware of each thought, action is that it is cultivating.

Be sure to discharge the residue

Staying in the urine, walking is also important in life because it is attached to us every day. If during the day we put too many drinks in the suffering, especially the beer lovers have brought in, then it must be released, that is natural. When you think about it, urinating in the rush, not conscious. When you know you are urinating, we just need to see the yellow or white urine will know how healthy. If urine is too hot, people should be conditioned by eating or taking a kidney tonic. In contrast, if white urine is known to be too weak, kidney failure or urinary incontinence, so must use positive renal medicine to treat. Through it we will know how to harmonize to feel the joy in life.

As well, if you are told not to be hot or liver hemorrhoids should be used medicine or eat cool will gradually recover. Black or green feces, flowing or sinking, we know that the intestinal tract is weak so it is important to use hot food for a positive personality. This is also the practice in the travel.

I do not know if the disease is high risk. Eat uncontaminated in a few days, stomach aches, indigestion, irritability, hot, bouncing. It hurts! If you run too much then watch the ghost house.

So when urinating, go to the great tu? Yes, if not while sitting in the toilet will be miserable enough because the smell of residue exhausted very bad mind that thought the idea. Therefore, we must know clearly each state of it without sticking to what it is as if we are cultivating while urinating or traveling.

So, of course, there are still many shortcomings, no one perfect, so that we need to cultivate to reduce the bad things that arise from the body-mouth. Evil is good that everyone must work hard to help us live better. Refusing to practice is a disadvantage for us and affects everyone around us, especially family and relatives. Therefore, if not enough grace to go to the temple to cultivate, we must apply in all circumstances, regardless of any circumstances we must also persevere perseverance.

In short, true Buddhists must know how to practice in all circumstances, because there are five things that we have to do every day, no one can replace us. First is dressing, second is eating, third is bathing, fourth is peeing, and fifth is going. So what do you know to do 5 things?

This knowledge does not form but always in us, though not thinking, talking, acting but we still know, this knowledge in the eye is only seen, where the headphones are just listening, so We call it hear or know without moving the mind.

This is the purpose of the Buddha wants to teach, everyone must receive this place, see the news, mind is mind but the Buddha's mind. Each practitioner does not distinguish between left-home or home, who receive this place, "although the sword sharp neck is like the spring wind," because now I, humans, sentient beings and people have not. still. That is the essence of Buddhism, simply so that there are some Zen master it takes 50 years.

Today we are fortunate to have found the true Dharma. Therefore, the layman with the job must apply the practice of these five conditions because it is attached to us every day, otherwise we will lose ourselves but live in miserable suffering.

The purpose of the practice is to know the subordination of thoughts, words, actions in every situation so that you and others are happy and happy right here and now with the motto "good life beautiful" .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.24/10/2018.
