STRICTLY COMPLETE EXPERIENCE (lesson 3).

2). PREDESTINED

     At that time, the king of Persia (1) on the anniversary of the anniversaries of the king made a ceremony for boys to increase, to purchase all the precious dishes, personally come to the Buddha and the Great Bodhisattvas to take care of him; In the city, there were many other dignitaries and laymen who were also on the same day as the ceremony of the boy's ceremony. The Buddha sent Manjushri to lead the Bodhisattvas and Arhats, divided into groups, giving the invitation to the boys in the boys; only A Nan was invited by the other person, not far from home, and could not attend with them.
     At that time, on the way back, A Nan alone did not have the venerable and A Xa Le (2) to accompany him, and on that day no one invited him to offer, in his heart, he wanted to meet the last son. Previously, A Nan had heard the Buddha rebuked the Bodhi and the Great Cauldron, the A La Han, but the specialist chose to beg for the rich, the specialist chose to beg the poor and not equally.

     Because of the decision to follow the non-dual equality of the Tathagata, to avoid any decry and doubt or in the mind of the false Religion, it is said: For the male master, not to mention arrogant or noble, the food is clean and distracted compassion for achievement for all beings is cultivated with immeasurable merits. Just thinking like that, holding a bowl, walking every house along the street, seriously dignified, righteousness and alms.

      At the time when Ananda was begging through the female prostitute, Ma Dang Già used the magic technique of the evil god Pham Thien of the pagan blonde (3) to enter his own room, caressing temptation, about to be destroyed. Buddha had known this before, he completed his life, went home, the king and the great god, the chief layman, all followed the Buddha, please listen to the weak dharma.

     Then, the top of The Sun emitted the radiant aura of fearlessness, in the aura blossoming with thousands of wings, on which there was the incarnation of Buddha sitting in the lotus, the mantra theory, and the Manjushri brought him to rescue, deviant He destroyed, led A Nan and Ma Dang Gia to the Buddha's residence. 
     A Nan met Buddha, bowed to tears, regretted this past only eager to hear a lot, not yet full of force, now graciously asked the Tathagata about the first means of three things: Ma Ma Tha (4) , Tam Ma (5) and Meditation Na (6), but the ten directions of the Tathagata have attained the sense of mind. At that time, there were constant Bodhisattvas and the Great Arhat, Bich Chi Buddha where the ten directions all asked to listen, silently sitting still to receive the weak dharma of Buddha.

EXPLAIN:

(1) Persia:  Is the king of the kingdom of Kieu-slat-la, the capital of the city is Xá-guard, in the Northern Heavenly Architecture (India) during the Buddha's time. The king is an arrogant, evil man who does not believe in the Dharma, but since he has attained the Buddha's degree, he has become a disciple of the Buddha's faithful, pure-hearted, humble, different with before.

(2) A Xa Le:  As a professor and teacher who teaches Yet-ma, Yay ma is the vote of a committee of many people (Sang) to judge people who practice gender.

(3)  Ma Dang Gia used the evil mantra of the pagan of the pagan blond: the golden pagan  is Satan Ca La (Kapila) translated into Chinese as "the first needle" ( blonde ), the name of an ancient fairy of India, considered to be the founder of the Numbers, he cultivated asceticism, worshiped Pham Thien but was called the mantra of Pham Thien, also known as Tien Pham Thien. It is a kind of evil art that makes others confused, no longer self-control; This is one of the evil jutsu that the Buddha once banned disciples to maintain, because anyone who sustains this kind of uncle will fall into three evil paths.

     Mrs. Bat Kiet De is Ma Dang Gia's mother who has learned Pham Thien's uncle, when her daughter has just seen A Nan, a dignified, good general, he immediately becomes enlightened. Because five hundred years ago in the past, she had been with A Nan once husband and wife, because at that time, the air craving was not lost, so just seeing A Nan, the mind was happy and wanted to be A Nan's husband. , he asked his mother for help. At first, she saw that Ton was a monk, cut off his craving, so she did not approve; but she insisted, she loved her son. Reluctant to her disapproval, she used the mantra of Tien Pham Thien, causing the false religious to be foolishly ignorant, no longer conscious.

     The Buddha had promptly told the Bodhisattva Manjushri to bring the Surangama mantra to the commentary, the rescued author of A Nan escaped; and thanks to the conditions, Ma Dang Gia also followed the Bodhisattva Manjushri to meet the Buddha, was revealed by the Buddha, she immediately witnessed the realization of the third result, A Na Ham, immediately gave birth to the mind.

(4) Sa Ma Tha:  Also known as tranquility meditation, translated into Chinese as  " Only " , meaning stop, is to sit quietly for all thoughts and thoughts to emerge to be pure, ie, forget to forget. the ceiling let the mind be quiet; This is very pure meditation, like  No Quan .

(5) Tam Ma:  Sanskrit, Pàli: Samàpatti, or Tam-ma- Dia, or  Tam-ma-Threads , Tam ma, also means  "Tam-muội" , translated into Hán as  Định , also Dằng Releases, Government, Government intended to make money. Only for the realm of meditation due to the distant afflictions and distractions ... but the body and mind of the practitioner reaches the state of equality, peace and utter silence; This is Zen Dinh, which uses transformations, such as  Imitation Quan.

(6) Na Meditation: Zen-na , or called  Zen Dinh :

1.  Meditation : Full meditation is meditation na, transcribed from the phrase "Dhyana", translated into Chinese as Static, meaning deposition of the mind, thinking about a mind object, thus  meditation  ie  shop , and  meditation are two words synonymous are melding.

2.  samadhi : samadhi means concentrating on a single point without giving up.

Meditation Na  is meditation that passes away, leaving the treatment facility, like Trung Dao Quan .

 General meditation can be understood as a method of cultivation to focus your thoughts on a subject until the mind does not disrupt the truth to be clarified; It can be said that meditation is a process that is intended to be the end.

In short,  due to meditation, concentration is determined, thanks to the new wisdom of arising.

     Thus, all three names, Xa-ma-tha, Tam-ma and Zen-na, are only three different names of " Dinh ", but why are there three different names?

     Considering the content  of Thu Lang Nghiem Kinh , the ultimate purpose of austerities is to  prove the situation of  Thu Lang Nghiem , ie, to enter the mind of the pure and permanent future, to discern the miraculous task, to achieve the result of Bodhidharma . In order to achieve that end, the Buddha taught the author of A Nan Da and all the audience, as well as the living beings of our future: the three-level method of cultivation:

1) First of all is the law of  Xa-ma-tha , which has the effect of eradicating the delusions of the mind to  realize the true mind of the pure future, which is immortal.

 2) Thing to  Tam-ma-ma , after knowing that he already has the mind and mind, abidently immortalized, wise, the mind of bodhicitta, diligently  practices meditation .

3) Finally,  Zen-na , practice to  attain perfect wisdom  , achievement of supreme formality.

     In short, if you summarize the three different names above, then it is  the  Thu Lang Nghiem , that's about  reason ; also of  s u, then three different designations are 3 stages in the process of concentration enlightenment Prime Surangama.

     Section 2 "Dependent Origination" of the Scriptures 1 about "Human Grace" said the great idea on the day of the anniversaries of the King of the King, the King of Persia of the Guard of the United Kingdom invited Buddha Shakyamuni and the disciples of the Bodhisattva and Thanh Van enter the King's bow to make offerings; There are also some other fake and lay leaders who are on the same day as the ceremony of the boy's ceremony, asking Buddha to come and give offerings. The Buddha sent Bodhisattva Manjusri to lead the Bodhisattvas and Thanh Van, divided into many groups, responding to the invitation to give birth to the boys; only the author, A Nan Da, was invited by the other person, went far away, and could not keep up with them.

     At that time, Ton fake A Nan Da alone on the way back, did not know the King and the heads of the fake invited to make offerings, so alone went to beg for alms. Previously, false Religion had heard Buddha teaches to beg for the righteousness of the dharma to give compassion to all sentient beings. Thinking like that, holding a bowl, walking every house along the street, seriously dignified, righteousness and alms.

     When Venerable A Nan Da went to the Ma Dang Gia house, the illusionist of the evil uncle Pham Thien of the pagan blonde entered his room, the fake Religion was tempted to be tempted by Ma Dang Gia to make his body vanish. At the time, the Buddha told Bodhisattva Manjushri to bring the mantra of Surangama to the commentary, the rescued A Nan escaped in time.

3). ASKING ABOUT MIND (1)

     At that time, The Sun raised his hand gently to touch A Nan's head, said to Ananda and the masses: - There is the Dharma of Tam Ma De (2), called the Great Buddha of Surangama Buddha, including all things (3), is the path of the miraculous magic, is also the method brought to the final liberation of the ten directions of the Tathagata, now he should pay attention.

     A Nan bowed, respectfully obeyed the Buddha's teaching. 
     Buddha told A Nan:  
- He and I are brothers, the same race, do not know at the beginning of the mind, in the place of our Dharma, you see what the enemy wins and immediately discharges the deep love of the world? 
     A Nan white Buddha:  
- I see thirty-two generals of victory (4) marvelous of Tathagata, the clear form as a glass, often thinking of this general is not born of sex; why? Because sex craving is ugly, the filthy bloody structure cannot bring forth the clarity of clarity, purity of enemies to win like that, so it should be admired by the Buddha. 
     Buddha says: 
- Heal instead! A Nan, you should know, all beings from the beginning to the present, birth and death continuously, just because we do not know the true nature of the mind (5), the pure nature is clear, relying on delusion (6) , hope I should not have reincarnation. The ten directions of the Buddhas of the same path left from samsara are due to intuition (7), because of the mind and the right words, like that from the beginning to the end, until the steps, in the middle there are no devious generals . 
- Now he wants to take care of supreme Bodhi (8), invent his true nature, to answer our questions directly. Ananda, now I ask him: when he developed the charm of thirty-two generals of Tathagata, what to see? Who knows the craving? 
- White World Religion, using your mind and eyes to see the enemy of the Tathagata, being interested in the heart should be willing to give up, to renounce birth and death. 
     Buddha said: 
- As you just said, lust is due to the mind and the eyes. If you do not know where your mind and eyes are, then you will not be able to overcome the moral imperfection (9); For example, if the country has an enemy, the king sends a soldier to eradicate it, and all soldiers must know the lair of the enemy. Causing him to be rotated is the mind and the eye; I asked him: Where is your mind and eyes?

EXPLAIN:

(1) Mind:  Mind is everything and most important, Mind has many meanings:

1. The mind is seen to be synonymous with Mahjong (s: manas), which is the seventh formula, the mind, thought, and the ability to think. Mata-na is considered to be the reasoning of humans, there are 2 tasks: Giving news to A Lai Da is the eighth formula containing all the news of life, Na Dia accept what we have and our own and control five senses and Consciousness. The mind is also synonymous with Consciousness (s: vijñāna), Consciousness is the sixth consciousness, which implies discrimination and gives five senses of opinion. The object of Consciousness is all matter and thought, Consciousness includes the activities of the mind such as imagination, criticism, comparison, meaning the whole activity and phenomenon of the mind.

3. In the final consciousness, Mind is considered A-re-da consciousness (s: ālayavijñāna); also called Tibetan consciousness, the root of all mental phenomena. In this view, this whole universe is "pure mind"; Many views suggest that this mind is "infinite ignorance", primitive ignorance is the ultimate reality of all dualistic phenomena.

5. Private conscience (S: Manas): Mat Na, the seventh.

6. Graceful mind (S: Manovijnana): Consciousness, the 6th formula.

(2) Tam Ma De:  Practicing the practice of seeing the dharma as illusory to be a player of attachment, is the meditation practice of liberation; Please review Kinh Van 1 Duyen Khoi, Section 2 Nhan Duyen, explain number 5 above.

(3) Virtue: Is a multitude of virtues that keep up to the level of liberation.

(4) Thirty-two feudal generals win: There are 32 good generals including: 1-Flat soles. 2- The foot has a thousand-winged wheel pattern (the back of the instep has swung out). 3- Curved toe. 4- Large heel. 5- The legs are bent. 6- Long curved fingers. 7- Hands that are longer than knees. 8- Soft limbs. 9- Human body like Son Duong (?). 10- The body is hairy. 11- The hair is swirling. 12- Yellow skin. 13- The body emits light. 14- Two long earlobes. 15- Soft leather. 16- Hands, shoulders and round heads. 17- Two armpits are full. 18- Chest body is like a lion. 19- Straight body. 20- Strong body and shoulders. 21- South hidden base. 22- Forty teeth 23- Regular teeth. 24- White teeth. 25- Jaws like lions. 26- Fragrant saliva. 27- Long wide tongue. 28- The voice is as far away as Pham Thien. 29- Clear blue eyes. 30- Long eyelashes curled. 31 Feather swirls between eyebrows (White Horse). 32- The tip of the head is high between the top of the head (Humiliation).

(5) The mind is often mindful:  The true mind is the true mind, the nature of the mind, the opposite is the mind; the true nature of the nature of the nature of the mind is pure clarity, the mind of the mind is often the true mind that does not arise without death.

(6) Hope:  Thoughts remember one thing after another.

(7) Mindfulness : Mindfulness and righteous words, there is no deviousness.

(8) Supreme Bodhi:  Bodhi is Enlightenment, Liberation, Supreme Bodhi is Enlightenment The ultimate liberation. 
(9) Tran lao: The word  " Tran "  is dusty, meaning pollution; The word  " labor " is hard, hard, miserable; " Tran lao "  means defilements.

     The third item "Ask About the Mind" of this "1 Human Grace" Scriptures, the Buddha raised his hand to touch the fake Ton's head and spoke to the author and the audience, saying that: There is the righteous dharma that is intended to show money ( Tam Ma De ), called the immense dharma vastness of miraculous colors ( Buddha Danh) is the mysterious cause of mystery, is the true and natural mind, usually constant ( Surangama ), countless happiness as six degrees , compassionate discharge, intellectual equality ... ie the happiness of the Bodhisattva (which includes all things ), which is the path of enlightenment, is also the practice leading to the final liberation of the ten directions of the Buddhas. 

     At that time, Venerable A Nan Da prostrated, obediently obeyed the Buddha's teaching, the Buddha told Ton false: "He and I are cousins, the same race, does not know when new mind according to me, he saw what wins, but immediately left lovemaking deep of the earth ? " 
     Venerable said," because they saw thirty two General enemy wins the Tathagata, so think this general is not born of sex craving; because sexuality is polluted, the filthy bloody structure cannot bring forth the clarity of clarity and purity of the enemy to win like that, thus admiring the Buddhist monk". That is because seeing 32 good generals of the Buddha should understand that due to spiritual practice is like that, fans should leave the Buddha. It should be known that when the Buddha returned to visit his homeland, at first because of the suspicion and arrogance of the elderly, he used the supernatural power to sit in the air, making fire and water from the whole body. Then there were many young people in the royal family who followed him as monastic monks, such as Nan Da, A Nan Da, A La Luat, and La La La (who were his own son at the age of seven), etc.

     The Buddha said: " Be good instead! A Nan, you should know, all beings from the beginning to the present, the samsara continuously, just because you don't know the true mind and mind, the clear nature and clarity, rely on hope and hope, you should not think must reincarnate. The ten directions of the Buddha and the one from the samsara are all direct, for the sake of the mind and the right words, like that from the beginning to the end, until the steps, all of which are not crooked. It means that all sentient beings from countless lifetimes until now only follow the thoughts of memory but do not know the true heart and mind without birth and death ( the mind of the mind and mind ), should be dragged into the road of birth and death. go, end of life after life in the six realms of reincarnation. Why?

     For example, being born as human beings, we often let our eyes be charmed by beautiful images, mesmerized ears by words, nose entangled by fragrance, tongue attracted by the sweetness, the body is delighted by contact, mind attached to the shadow images, the feeling recorded in the mind called the naked ceiling. It is these things that make people remember not to forget, always chase them, find ways to be satisfied, if not satisfied, find the means to get. Therefore often create karma, by telling the truth or lying, saying straight or saying stabbing, stabbing, saying morality or saying evil grudge. To use the body to act in order to satisfy our will, we must return the report, must be born into one of the six realms: Either to heaven, or to return to being a human, or a god, or into a devil, or make animals, or fall into hell, depending on whether you have done something good or have done evil, you have to go to the corresponding place. And the Buddhas speak, act and think straight away without being crooked, so they are away from the cycle of birth and death.

     The Buddha continued: " Now you want to save the supreme Bodhi, invent your true nature, honestly answer My question. Now I ask him: when he developed the heart and mind according to the thirty-two generals of the Tathagata, what to see (?); Who knows the craving? "It means that in order to study the ultimate liberation of the truth of the mind, what does it take first to see thirty-two generals to win? 

     False Religion A Nan Da said: " I use your eyes to see the enemy of the Tathagata, the mind of craving should release the wish to renounce birth and death". That is to use the eyes and the mind to see thirty-two good generals, thus giving the Bodhi mind. 

     The Buddha said: "As he just said, interest is due to the mind and the eyes. If you do not know where your mind and eyes are, then you will not be able to recover from the ceiling; For example, if the country has an enemy, the king sends a soldier to eradicate it, and all soldiers must know the lair of the enemy. Causing him to turn around is a mistake at the heart and eyes, I ask him: Where is his mind and eyes? ”  Meaning is the desire of the eyes and the mind, but to subdue the defilements, it is important is the first place to know the mind? END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.25/1/2019.
