Part 4

Problem

1. Aspiration Unreal Yes

"Knowing the truth is not true immediately and then hopefully"

The Vajra Sutra, the Buddha taught: "Tam mind is inaccessible" (the past cannot be obtained, the mind is incomparable, the mind is incapable). Three times the mind cannot be found.

Praying to teach Mr. Hui: "If you bring your mind here, you will be safe ..." Hui Kha could find her mind. Then the Patriarch said, "I have assured you already."

Each of the teachings of the Buddha and the Group is different, but it is meant to be "hopeless". If practitioners meditate on initiating the meditation "Knowing not real" immediately immediately disappointed. The idea is due to the six-ceilinged figure, in addition to the six ceiling thoughts (hopefully) not real.

Original deluded by mistakenly thought to be the mind alone.

2. What Heavy Career?

Questioner: Karma and karma, which is heavier?

- If the base on the karma is bad, the base of the karma will be heavy. The idea is that the engine generates artificial karma. However, if there is a thought that the body has not acted, yet committed sin.

- If you say heavy karma, when the mind has not yet begun, it cannot be a crime. Crime when there must be the action of the body.

- The base of Bhikkhu monks (generals) when there is new action becomes a sin. If the base of Bodhisattva, the evil thoughts and thoughts have become sinful.

3. Mind Normal

What is "normal mindfulness"?

- Normal mind means not seeing right, not being disturbed, seeing that it is true, seeing here and there, divine etc. etc. In short, the mind is still calm and calm. Seeing it like that is normal. Such a normal sight, it is virtue. When there is such a view, it is not necessary to find a bridge. Want to be this mind just don't start. Because the hope is the root of reincarnation in the three realms, not the beginning, which destroys the samsara. 

4. Idealism and Consciousness

"The Three Realms of Mind and Mind"

The mind is healthy and healthy. For example, when we make people happy, people treat us well.

The Great Law. These dharmas are out, because of the discrimination.

Mr. Dong Son asked Mr. Ma: Wind in all ten directions. When no wind why not see?

Ma Coc holds a fan. Wind is bordering on but must depend on grace, new wind conditions appear. There is a new distinction into a dharma.

5. Buffalo Buffalo

How to sit and practice?

- Do you mind?

- That's the Buffalo!

- How is the blanket?

Son Qui taught: When the buffalo glanced at the two sides who wanted to eat rice, they had to pull it back ...

So every time the shepherd looks, there is no free time but it is called "no sign" or "deep marriage". Where to fall in.

Based on the Ten Section (ten pictures of buffaloes), the shepherd no longer sees buffaloes and other people (ending both knowledge and knowledge) but only a bright full moon in the air.

In short, while sitting in meditation, you must use Prajna wisdom to clearly see the mind that arises and dies as an object. When there is hope, there is always hope. When not hoping still know. The mind is always quiet and shining.

According to this practice, there was originally an object, but there was no subject like the Hinayana. Because there is a silent screening, it is also regarded as a way of dressing. Shining Meditation.

6. Is there a Hell?

Question: Mr. Dap Ba Dat Da broke many Buddha's life, committing a crime of rebellion. If you fall, why do you follow Buddha to destroy your life?

- The proselytist has two cases: If weak, it must be thanks to favorable circumstances to advance. On the contrary, when you are strong, you must use adversity to advance.

Mr. De Ba Dat Da broke the Buddha but was a miserable Bodhisattva, supporting the conditions for Buddha to proceed, so he did not fall into hell because he had no malice. However, on the cause and effect, Buddha still said he was hellless.

The story of Mr. Kieu Kieu Lien went to hell to visit Mr. De Ba Dat Da. He asked: Do you suffer here?

He replied:

- I'm still happy as Bhikkhu attained the third result of meditation.

- When will we get out?

- When Buddha enters hell.

Thus, Thich Ba Dat, even in hell, does not see hell. 

7. The Difference Between Mahayana and Hinayana

Greatly admits that my mind is vast and spread throughout the dharma realm, which means that we can enter the body (great form, great general, great use). - Great Commentary Runners.

Hinayana only kills the "arising and falling away" of the six consciousnesses and then enters "Destroying the end" of Arhat. The Mahayana call it "Ageless not to die, to destroy the race" (not to be born with compassion).

8. Acceptance of Evil

In Greece, there is a terrible murder movement! Why? Because the religious person thinks that people don't follow the Bible to go to Heaven.

Normally, if anyone doesn't follow me, he hates. But it is not necessarily that my understanding is correct, and when what I think is right is good but others do not follow, it is considered that the person who is "evil" will be "evil" to them.

Thinking good, accepting goodness, evil is born. Thinking about someone wants to protect him. Seeing other people want to harm their loved ones, they immediately recite opposition (evil) and will take action to oppose protection intervention.

Accepting compassion, goodness is a disaster. If you want to do good but are prevented, you become angry, evil mind follows that. So, "do not think good, do not think evil is above all".

"If it is the truth, then don't be angry. It is not true to be angry."

9. Different On A Look

We think that affliction is caused by looking at people criticizing eyes, or scornful eyes of high self-esteem ... and seeing bad people bad ... because of that, they are born with afflictions, jealousy ...

On the contrary, if you look down on those views and look at everyone on "equal eyes", everyone has their special characteristics. Robbers still have good character. Especially every person has a Buddha nature (like the Bodhisattva Often Slandered), it is not disturbing.

Buddhism looks with such a view (all equality on the nature) should destroy all the races of race, humanity, etc.

Buddhism takes sentient beings as objects of suffering, to practice compassion. So compassion of Buddhism is superior, beyond the family, national, humanity. It is a love affair. All beings are equal.

There is such a view, so the Buddha just gave himself to the hungry tiger etc ...

10. Know the Client

Ask:

- When cultivating only know: Do you know whether, do not know, anything else?

- As the landlord knows the guest, it is the first stage. In the position of the owner of the guest type, the guests are all over, arranging jobs in the house, beautifying the house. When the time of decay wants to destroy the house (example for the five aggregates) at will.

A Zen monk said: The reason why we cannot master our house is to "stole" and sneak into it.

Question: What is the benefit of cultivating "Knowing hope" to hope to initiate?

Lu Patriarch said: Not afraid of initiation but afraid of feeling slow The start-up and the awareness are all manifestations of awareness. One hundred times there is one hundred times of enlightenment.

Knowing waves is water, then there is no fear, because it is the foot.

In the Sutra of Sutra, Crouching Lu said: "reciting non-stop".

The Sixth Patriarch said: "Reciting the starter book"

Whenever there is a mindfulness, feeling is Buddha.

Remember the sea surface without being afraid to wake up, because the waves from the sea are born.

Living with so many mesmerizing people that I still wake up, do not close the door without receiving guests. 

11. Ho Han Du Hien Lake

As an old example, Hồ came to Hồ and Hán to modern Hán. Everybody who comes, any thing comes, shows everything clearly. Oil clearly shows everything that the mirror surface does not change.

As if flying in nothingness, there is no trace.

As the moon shines the water, the water and the moon do not come together. Water does not stick to the moon.

The person who sees nature, meets graceful conditions, but the true nature does not change. It is self-use.

12. A Summary Question

Ask:

- Please give a summary of the meaning of meditation?

- Knowing the fake does not follow, accept the real life.

13. Live What Calls "Boss"

1. Distinguish good from bad, love to hate ... This knowledge belongs to the awakening.
2. Knowing the good and bad discrimination in the know of the love. This belongs to Tri. And this Tri belongs to Wisdom.
3. Know silently bosses all over no comparison. This position belongs to the mind. This position is also called "boss". The cultivator must live back with this Tri.

Q: The Vajra Sutra says: "The mind cannot be done three times". Why teach me to live with the boss.

- Kinh teaches to destroy three times because the mind is not real. But the boss is eternal, timeless, always showing money.

14. Definition of Chon Khong

The name Chon has three meanings:

1. Medicine is classically Mahayana:

- Chon cannot take away the pureness of the dhammas. From expressing miraculous use, or called Dieu Huu.

2. Zen Tong Medicine:

- Chon is not awareness, this awareness is "not a thing". The Sixth Patriarch received this character, so he said ...

3. Meditation Medicine:

- Name of Zen Master Chon Khong lifetime Ly, Vietnam.

15. Practicing Don't Be Heavy

Question: Someone who has just released the mind will calculate the time, I have to cultivate for five years, seven years, etc. Is this calculation moral? Ask two people:

A person makes all the work. 
A person makes up for time. 
So who's good?

A: People do all the good.

So often people cultivate or have the idea of ​​cultivating and speeding up the results. So it is easy to get ripped off. In fact, we cultivate, we cannot schedule time. Because anyone knows how ever I hope? Set time to be weak, be lazy! Little monks want much results. The strong, ready to do it any time, is done with the job done.

In short, let us strive to cultivate, not to put much time on it.

16. Spiritual Prayer

Question: Why in the Japanese Business Litigation choose the Prussian Gate to pray for peace.

A: Because this product is more about saving and rescuing people, people often pray for peace because of fear of suffering. So this choice is a prayer. But few understand the importance of this product.

We often think of chanting for merit, not understanding the profound meaning of the sutra.

Dharma Sutra comes to Quan The Am Bo Bo, Pho Mon is to break the warm idea, but human beings suffer from suffering. Breaking the idea is out of suffering. A bullet suddenly passes through us, we are not afraid. A quick flick of a knife does not scare us, but if you keep telling me, slowly, I imagine that I am creepy! In order to show the fear of thought, there is the concept of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara returning to hearing. Returning to the nature, the place is thought. No idea, where is suffering from? Should say, recite Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva through suffering. That is about "reason".

About "the", reciting the title of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, how hard is it?

Suppose we go on a road that is afraid of ghosts, when we are so afraid, we sincerely recite the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. Because of the thought of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, at one time, the memory of ghosts, fear and fear followed, and the end of suffering. So was the accident. At the time of the accident, we kept on reciting the name of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, so there was no free time to remember the incident, thus forgetting all the suffering.

Question: What do I think is a lot of inspiration for reciting Avalokiteshvara?

A: Still know Duc Quan The Bodhisattva is very flexible and ready to save us suffering, but it also requires us to cultivate a good life in accordance with the prayers, then our prayers will have results.

Now I ask again: like an accident, how many people recite the name of Quan The Am, but why can someone get rid of it, someone who will not stop? Who is not able to recite? So Bodhisattva has a favor of this person, hate the other person?

This point we must understand. The respective career options of each person are available. People with blessings recite good things, feel good. On the contrary, too many bad karma can not feel good. Those who have merit do not insist that they recite the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva does, but if they recite the Lord, God manifests, or divine recitation, the divine being is felt by their blessing. And the people who create evil karma are too heavy, but have the thought to be good, but not enough to feel, so still suffer. The ancients said: "Spiritless spirit at self" is like that.

In short, touch is not, but it is because of us, not in Bodhisattva. Bodhisattva Buddha is only a dependent dependent outside. If we have an external dimension that demands inspiration, it is to remove the root according to the tip, contrary to the will of the sutra.

Understanding that, we recite new thoughts without thinking.

17. Please One Letter

A person who learns meditation from far away sends a letter to ask for a word to cultivate.

A: A word "Province" or a word "Discharge".

18. Where is the Buddha?

This is the words of the Vice-Chancellor about the place of his administration:

Buddha's mind

Buddha Stone Stone told newspapers 
Rieu plus crab complete departure 
Departure is relative depending town 
Language wearing only basis 
Inject trench isolation incompatibility 
As similar body image 
Sexual Past informal Buddhist origin 
Only silent language market price

Translation: 
Night at night holding Buddha to sleep 
Day and day with Buddha to 
stand Sitting and standing together 
Talking to stop sharing in 
forever Forever as far from each other 
As picture with the ball 
Want to know where the Buddha goes 
Just say it. 
"Want to know where the Buddha went. 
Just say it."

This is where Ma Ma answered with Hui Hai:

- That you ask me!

Recognize this and live with it.

19. Don't Be Mindful and Passionate

Only knowing hope is not enough, don't hold back and think (because the delusion is the practice of Hinayana). Why? Because thought is like a cloud, it is not true but must be eliminated. As the Patriarch's poem disapproves of Crouching's misunderstanding, in the Security Law.

The practice of "looking hard and looking like a cat with a mouse" is a teaching practice of koan practice, using pressure to make the mind become a block, enough conditions will be enlightened (burst).

20. Is Karma And Hope Sorrowful?

1. Career. 
2. Fearless thoughts.

* Karma: scary for those who see karma as real, not scary for those who know that karma is not real. It is not scary but mastering should move.

* Hope: If you know, don't be afraid. Don't be afraid to start, only afraid to know slowly. It starts and starts, I just hold on to Know, stick to the know. I know, I know, and I don't mind.

Again in sleep, there are many dreams, due to the current practice of karma. This is due to lack of mastery, because of lack of wisdom to contemplate.

Want to eliminate dreams, then increase the intensity of intellectual wisdom.

Be calm. The first is the enemy, then the friend.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.26/12/2018.
