MEANING OF THE RAW TALK - HUNG XUAN DI LAC.

 

Every year, every spring, every Vietnamese person anywhere on this planet is thrilled, welcoming the spring of humankind, also known as the Lunar New Year

Originally the beginning, the Dan is the morning morning. Lunar New Year is a celebration to welcome a New Year's Day, a new dream, new hope with newness in our souls and the outside world. The new spring will bring every person and all beings the best for life. 

In this spirit, no matter how busy it is, all Vietnamese people spend certain time worrying about painting the house, polishing the lamp base, setting the ancestral altar, the altar. Buddha is the most beautiful, most solemn to prepare for the new spring. Each house tries to buy food for the three days of Tet such as banh chung, banh tet, watermelon, cake, melon, fruit ... but for the Buddha, that spring is the season Spring Maitreya.

Why is it called Maitreya? The reason is the inauguration of Maitreya Buddha on the first day of the New Year, he appears in the midst of spring with the truth:

"Big belly, cheeked with money. 
Surrounded by six children tilting their heads to shout"

It is the reincarnation of the future Patriarch of the world. She, who inherited the karma of birth, was born and consecrated by Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha. On the occasion of the New Year of the Snake, we try to understand something about the Buddha in this future life:

Shakyamuni Buddha once said: the first day of the first month is the anniversary of the Maitreya Bodhisattva, and later he will be a teacher at the Longhua Society.So we often hear praise and pay homage to him in the days of this festival is important? " Male  Model Longhua Catholic Home, Lower Birth Of Lai Ton Buddha Maitreya ". This verse states that: Maitreya will be the future Buddha, signed for him by Buddha Shakyamuni after becoming a Buddha in this world to continue the teaching of fertility.

Talking about the future of Di Lac, in the Diocesan Diaspora, it is written that: "At present, Maitreya is one of the four Bodhisattvas of the Bodhisattva who are in the interior of the heavenly palace, waiting until this world is over. the ninth fall, to the tenth increase, at that time he will incarnate into this realm in the home of a Brahmin named Tu Pham Na, his mother's name is Pham Na Bat Thich. There are many good generals, virtuous beings, wise people, growing up, he renounces his practice, goes to the mountain of Ke Tuc to receive the Medicine Bowl of the Buddha of the Holy Ghost, and was handed over by the Patriarch Ma. Sitting under the Long Hoa tree using Kim Cang Tri except for ignorance, attaining the Supreme Bodhi. Then he began lecturing at the Lecture Hall of Hoa Lam under the Long Hoa tree. To be able to achieve 96 human memories into A la Han, the second is 94 people who become Arhats, The third assembly of 92 human memories became Arhat. So called "Long Hoa Tam Hoi ". He lectured the sermon to six thousand years, the countless countless beings to escape suffering". 

While waiting for the Long Hoa Association, Duc Di Lac has separated and reincarnated in many different countries to teach beings. In the Sutra often say: "Bodhisattva is beneficial for the mind ", meaning that the Bodhisattva takes the benefit of sentient beings, doing its duties and responsibilities. 

One of his incarnations that we most often hear is the  Great Venerable Master  in Chinese Buddhism, which is a monk in Minh Chau, Phung Hoa district, China. In the market, all the villagers give it away and give it away. He often preached the sutras to the poor, doing many miraculous and extraordinary things. In the world, no one understands what he is like, just together called the Grandfather Dai Hoa Thuong (Venerable Master carrying a large bag), to Luong's life and the year of Trinh Minh's year, he gathered them At Yue Lam Temple, he sat upright and said the verse: 

"Maitreya Chon Di Lac, 
Hoa Than Thien press memory, 
Time of the time of the time, 
The time of the unconsciousness". 

Meaning: 

" Maitreya is really Maitreya, 
Metamorphosis of hundreds of thousands of relatives, 
Usually present in the realm of life, 
But no one believes in life".

After saying that, he passed away.

Because based on this incarnation, Chinese Buddhism and Vietnamese Buddhism, often carved statues to worship him with a gentle and happy face, smiling and smiling. He symbolizes the source of wisdom, flexibility and illumination, so he is sculpted in the image of a big, fat Buddha, sitting very freely, his bra on his chest and smiling brightly. There were six mischievous children on His body, the ear-hook, the nose-touching, the mouth-pulling. 

The Maitreya title   is the Sanskrit word (Sankrist) which is Maitreya which means the word "Thi:"; the word "compassion"; through the West people call him Future Buddha or Smile Buddha, because he practices the virtuous compassionate compassion, the mind always shines the light of pure, great love and vows to save people. When the love is full, the true understanding shines, so the soul is always happy at all changes and changes in life.   

The six children (the bandits) sitting on His body are only for six bodies -  ears, eyes, nose, tongue, body and mind.- ours, they come into contact, and touch the external scene of color, sound, scent, taste, emotion (sensory activity, psychology) and the phenomenon of things, then be born mind states like joy, joy, anger, love, fear, grief, aversion ... once the six faculties are in contact with six outside scenes, if we don't control ourselves, they will influence, influence and rage us, make us insecure, frustrated, suffering and fearful ... But for people who have infiltrated the marvelous joy of their natural true nature, ie mastering yourself, then all the influences that arise from the inside or outside, become a miraculous power to maintain peace, flexibility and shine of self-interest. Since then the natural joy has come, so we are relaxed and free in this volatile and passionate world. 

So the first day of a New Year came to the temple to worship Buddha and to collect spring buds in the beginning of the year, not only to pray for riches and riches, but also for the Buddhas to bless the mind and to be happy, to lead peace and peace of mind. vast practice to quickly become Buddhas like Thien Tai praying in the Sutra Hoa Nghiem once prayed:  " Those great mighty brains, have accomplished countless almonds, An abode of this tower, I clasp my hands The ceremony, the precious Maitreya, As the first son of the Buddhas, I hope you think about me  ". END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.21/1/2019.
