Comment

The three faculties learn gender, concentration, wisdom, always focusing on helping us overcome difficulties and any suffering we have to go through. The way to do this is to identify the cause of the problem, and apply the three types of learning to eliminate them. 

Tam is also extremely helpful to help me grow up in my daily life, when I have to deal with people around me.

• Gender  - it is important to consider how you behave and talk to others. We need to have precepts to avoid doing anything harmful or destructive.
• Determination  - we need to be able to focus our thoughts when communicating with others, to know what is happening to them and their needs. If I was distracted and kept looking at my cell phone constantly, it would be hard to talk to other people.
• Wisdom  - if we listen to others, we can use our intelligence to choose the appropriate response. This also leads to a way of thinking, acting and speaking properly to others.

The three classes of piracy go hand in hand and reinforce each other, which is why I have to apply all three elements at the same time. When not communicating with others, they are also useful for themselves:

• They prevent harmful actions for themselves.  
• We can concentrate spiritually, so we can accomplish whatever we want to achieve.
• We can use basic intelligence to distinguish what is appropriate and inappropriate.

So they are very basic principles that I can apply in my daily life, in my own context, as well as in socializing.

The Eightfold Path

A presentation on how to practice the three-way learning is called "the eightfold path". They are merely eight types of practice that are practiced to help the three immoral learners develop. 
There are three practices in the  practice of gender :

• Right speech  -  how to speak
• Right karma  - how to act
• Right  livelihood - how to live.

For  meditation practice  , there are also three paths:

• Right Effort  - to destroy negative thoughts and thoughts and develop a favorable mind for meditation.
• Mindfulness  - don't let go of the motivation and the object of meditation.
• Right concentration  - maintaining focus on what is positive.

For  the practice of  mindfulness, there are two main paths:

• Right view  - the things that we believe are true, based on the right distinction between what is right and wrong, or harmful and beneficial.
• Right thinking  ( right motivation in thought ) - positive mindfulness is the result of right understanding.

In a more complex form, each of the righteous paths in the righteous bowl has a way of applying the error that we need to eliminate, and a proper practice that we want to apply.

Speech

The way we talk to others reflects our mood. It creates an impact on the feelings of others, how they comment and treat them. Therefore, I need to know how to say what is effective and what is harmful.

Unwholesome Karma

Unwholesome karma is a form of kamma which creates suffering and problems

• Lying  - telling lies and deceiving others. If we are known as someone who lied or deceived others by words, no one would dare to trust us, or even listen to what we have to say. This will create circumstance.  
• Say a split  - speak ill of others to their friends or spouses and try to ruin the relationship between the two. This makes others wonder if we say something bad behind their backs, and ruin our own relationship with others.
• Speak harshly  - speak aggressively or yell and curse others. When I insult others with words, they will treat me the same way, and do not want to be near a person who constantly screams at them, unless they are a person who likes being abused.
• Saying nonsense -  saying it all the time, interrupting others and saying nonsense, or saying something wrong. As a result, no one considered me seriously, they would think I was a troublesome person. I will waste my time and others.

Right Speech

A constructive speech is what helps us avoid the four wrong kinds of vows. Discipline at the first level is when I want to say something untrue, want to scold someone who is chattering, I will realize that it is negative and creates suffering, so try not to do so. 

This is not easy, because you have to stop yourself the moment you want to open your mouth, before uttering impulsive words. It's like when I want to eat a cake. Sometimes, I will have the opportunity to eat a second piece, but before I take the piece, I will think, “Even if I want to eat, I don't need to eat. I don't need to eat this piece of cake, because it will make me gain weight, and I need to sign down. ” This is what we talk about, in terms of discipline.

When he felt that he wanted to do such things, Shantideva (Shantideva), an ancient Indian teacher, advised him to be as indifferent as a log. I want to scream or say cruel words, but I realize that this will make you and me unhappy, so I don't say. I was just as indifferent as a log. I want to say silly jokes, or give a foolish comment, but when I realize it's just gossip, I don't say anything. In general it is. 

The second level of discipline is when you really do something constructive, say good words, instead of saying negative words. This comes from the realization that this will bring happiness, making every situation more harmonious. What I need to do is think of the law of cause and effect.

In fact, the chief nourishment requires a highly conscious effort, and a strong determination to speak truthfully, gently, kindly at the right time, with the right measures, and just say the words. means:

• Try not to bust people, or call or send them a message, especially about trivial things like what you've eaten, or talk about it. It is a meaningless bullshit, only busting others.
• The proper measure is not to talk too much, or try to convince others about something in a way that is too much, especially when they agree with you.

Of course, we need to use discrimination. For example, when speaking honestly, if someone wears a bad shirt or dress, you cannot say "It is bad", because you will make him sad. Sometimes, it needs to be careful, but it depends on who it is. My sister just came to visit me, and she was wearing a shirt when we were about to go out. The shirt was a little tight, didn't fit well, but she was my sister, so of course I could say it looked bad, but if it wasn't a family member, it would be hard to say. You will not tell her new friend, "You are wearing this shirt badly. Stop wearing different clothes ”, though that may be true.
As for heavy words, sometimes I need to say something strong. If your child plays with matches or matches, or something, you need to teach it, but that is not a heavy word, because your motivation is not the center. So the real motivation is first.

Other Examples of Unsafe Practices

We can also expand the scope of negative speech to not only mention what we say to others, but also what we say to ourselves. We can think of ways to speak negatively in a much broader way. 

Lies can also include lying to others about their feelings or intentions to them. We can treat people very well and say we love them, even deceive ourselves to believe that we really love them, while we only want their money or anything. In some ways this is a lie. Of course I can't tell them, "Actually, I don't love you, I just want your money", because this is not proper, but we need to ask our conscience to see if we are true about feeling. Your sense and intention or not.

The split might be to say unpleasant words, making friends stay away from them. Some people always complain, or talk negatively, and make people stay away from them. If I say so, who wants to be near me? Or say endless intercession so that the other person doesn't have the opportunity to say anything, this way also causes others to stay away from them. Everyone meets such people, and of course I don't want to see them often. It's good to talk well about others and have a positive attitude.
Verbal abuse happens when I do not harass others, but insult myself. When I say others are stupid or ugly, of course, that's cruel. It is also cruel when I say these things to myself. Certainly, I will not be happier, so it is important to have a good attitude towards myself, how I treat myself, how I talk to myself. 

As for the bullshit, do not tell your own stories, doubts, concerns, etc. indiscriminately. There are things I cannot say, or should not be shared with others. For example, if someone tells you that they are homosexual, have cancer, and tell you to keep it a secret, you should do the same. Fall out of promise with those who believe they belong to the problem of bullshit.

In fact, it is right to speak in a proper way, at the right time, in the right place. Sometimes, I have to say it solemnly, but sometimes it will be a lot. We need to talk about how to make others feel comfortable. When explaining something to a child, you have to say how to let him understand, but this also involves how to talk to adults and people from other cultures, etc.

Right Career

The second point in the eightfold path is the boundary of action, which is the professional term. When talking about boundaries, we are referring to a certain limit, such as "I will act that much, not too much."

Unemployment  

Excessive action refers to three types of negative behavior:

• Robbing lives  - killing sentient beings
• Take things no one gives   - take things that don't belong to you, steal
• There are inappropriate sexual behaviors.

Kill

This simply takes away the lives of sentient beings. It not only refers to people, but also includes all animals, fish, insects, etc.

I think stopping hunting and fishing is not difficult for most of us. For some people, not killing insects can be more difficult. There are many ways to approach this issue without having to talk about the past life and the next life, with the idea that, "This fly is my mother in a previous life." It is worth noting that if an animal makes us angry, it should not be killed in response to instinct. This will create a habit of killing any living being that you hate violently, beyond the level of killing a humming fly on your face. For flies or mosquitoes, when they land on the wall, I can take a glass to let them fly in a glass, put a piece of paper on the bottom to cover the mouth of the glass, and take the glass out of the house and release them. In many cases,
You will have to learn to live with insects, if you live in India, like I used to live there. Simply put, there is no way to eliminate insects in India. I used to imagine an advertising campaign for travel companies: "If you love insects, you will like India!". When I first moved to India, I did not like insects at all, because I was used to living in a different environment, but I fell in love with fantasy. I imagine if I went to a distant planet, and life there existed in this kind of insect that I just wanted to crush them, it was cruel! If you put yourself in the position of insects, then you will begin to respect them as a form of life, because after all they only live their lives.

Obviously there are harmful insects, like dangerous people, and sometimes, I have to use strong measures to control them. However, it is better to use a deferral method first, whether it is a conflict between people and people, or a house full of ants, or cockroaches, but think about the case of grasshoppers destroying crops mine. Motivation is the biggest problem. The example is a previous life of the Buddha, when he was the captain of a ship. There was a person who plotted to kill everyone on the ship, and the Buddha found no way to stop this massive massacre smoothly, in addition to the only way to kill this person, he killed him, but with the motivation of compassion, not because of anger or fear, to save the lives of people on the ship, and to help this person not to create great negative karma. However,

Then what needs to be done is to kill insects that destroy crops like grasshoppers, to protect crops with compassion, instead of anger or fear, or because of the desire to make good words through good harvest, it is the consequence of this action will be lighter than killing insects for anger. However, as is the case with the Buddha, it is important to acknowledge this as a negative behavior, and be willing to accept the consequences.

Stealing

Most people cling to their lives rather than wealth, but if you steal other people's possessions, this still creates suffering for both sides, especially when the thief keeps worrying. feared, "Will I be caught or not?". 

Currently, what I want is to get out of trouble. If you kill a fish or an insect, it is obvious that this is a problem for these beings, but we also have problems, because if the insects bother you, then I always worry about the mosquitoes. Keep your space, and midnight must wake up to smash mosquitoes. It was an unpleasant mood. If you use the delaying method to solve the problem, your heart will be more peaceful.
The same is true for theft, because you have to be sneaky, and fear being caught. It is based on a strong desire, when you don't have the patience to work and have money to buy it, so grab someone else's clothes. 

There are also examples of killing or stealing with the opposite motivation:

• You can kill because of attachment and greed, maybe because you want to eat an animal, or eat fish. If there is absolutely nothing else to eat is one thing, but if there are other things to eat, it is another story.
• You can steal because of anger, because you want to hurt someone, so you take something from them.

Sexual behavior is not appropriate

This is a difficult topic to talk about, because for the majority, the strong push behind sexual behavior is a thirst for love. Buddhism offers an explanation of the basic motto of things to avoid, that is:

• Harming others with sexual behavior, including raping and violating others
• Put pressure on others, even your partners, to have sex with them, even if they don't want to
• Having sex with someone else's partner, or having sex with other people when you have a partner. No matter how careful you are, this always creates trouble, doesn't it?

For inappropriate sexual behavior, there are many other aspects, but the idea behind is that you cannot act like animals. An animal will jump on itself of another animal whenever it wants, no matter if anyone is there. They are completely controlled by desire and thirst for love, which is what I want to avoid.

Then what I want to do is to have limitations and determination to limit my sexual behavior within that limit, not going too much. The limits you set may be related to the pace, genre of sexual behavior, intercourse posture, or anything. The point is there are some guidelines about how to live sex, not just do anything you like at any time, anywhere, with anyone, like an animal. This is extremely morally important. Self-discipline is to avoid going beyond the limits we have set, because we understand that excessive walking is only for desire, but desire is the cause of a multitude of problems.

Use Drugs

Using intoxicants does not belong to negative behavior, but removing them is very important for mental development.

We want to develop concentration, want to develop discipline, but when we are drunk, we lose all discipline, right? When I use drugs or marijuana, I lose my mental focus. My mind will be wandering and full of paranoia. If you look at the effects of drugs or alcohol, and compare them with the factors that you want to achieve in terms of your own development, you will find that the feeling of lightheadedness or drunkenness and the factors These are two conflicting things. Drugs and alcohol not only create obstacles during the time of being drunk or living in hallucinations, but also creating the effects of remnants, such as feeling tired, tired! Therefore, if it is possible to limit the use of these substances, it is good, and of course, it is best to remove these things.

Right Career

One aspect of self-discipline is not to create negative behaviors. Another aspect is to act in a positive way, and this is called "righteous action." 

Then you will help preserve life, instead of killing sentient beings. The application of this behavior more widely is not destroying the environment, but taking care of it, so that animals and fish can live freely. Feed pigs, if you raise pigs, let them grow up, not fatten up to eat meat, that's how to preserve life. Feed your dog, it's a way of preserving life! This also includes things like caring for a sick person, or helping people who are suffering.

Think of a fly or a bee flying into your room. Actually, he didn't want to stay in the room. He wanted to fly out, but he didn't know how to get out, so if you killed him just because he had flown into his room, it wasn't a nice gesture, was he? You can help it fly out by opening a window and saying "shoo" or something, that's how to preserve life, and the bee wants to live too! If there's a flying bird in the room, you won't get a gun to shoot it, right? The difference between bees and birds is just their size, shape and sound. If you don't want flies to fly into the room, don't open windows, or use mesh screens! 

As for not stealing, it is right to protect the property of others. If anyone lends you something, try not to damage it. You can help others own good things.

Rather than having inappropriate sexual behavior, including not only having sex with other people, but also masturbation. We should be gentle and kind, not acting like a dog.

Other Experts About Correct and False Actions

If we discuss further, I will see many other aspects related to these three types of behavior. For example, expanding the act of not killing is not treating others brutally. This not only includes not beating others, but also means not exploiting or motivating them to do things that could create danger for them. I can also apply this principle to myself, for example, I should not abuse myself for overworking, or should I eat poorly, or sleep too little. We often think of how we treat others, but it's important to consider how we treat ourselves.  

As for theft, it is not only about stealing other people's property, but also including using other people's things without permission, such as using someone else's phone to make a phone call that costs money. , or use the other people's fridge without permission, sneak into the cinema to avoid buying tickets, or not paying taxes. Tax evasion is something people don't like to hear. That is theft. I can argue, "I don't want to pay taxes because the government will use that money to finance war and buy weapons", but in fact it is also used for road construction and construction. hospitals, schools, etc. If you want those facilities, you have to pay taxes.

What about downloading software or videos that you are not authorized or copyright infringement, is this a theft? I think it is theft, especially when it is stated that "If you do not pay, you cannot download", this is too obvious, there is no way to defend that is not onion. theft. However, the principle here is to set boundaries. There are many levels between the two extremes, between doing whatever you want without thinking about the consequences, and not doing anything. As for theft, I can say, "I will not go to rob the bank or shop, but for lowering what to use without paying, I cannot avoid it now." At least this creates some limitations, but it is still important to acknowledge that downloading without paying is theft. There is a big difference between downloading things to use when you have money to buy, and when you don't have money. If you have money but don't want to spend money to buy things, just because you want to be mean or prank, that's a more serious problem. This is what I should avoid.
For theft, consider yourself, and may stop spending money because of useless things, such as gambling, which is a waste of money. Nor should you be miserable with yourself, when you are financially capable. You have the money to eat properly and buy good food, but it is miserable and buy the cheapest, least-quality food. This is almost like stealing with myself!

For inappropriate sexual behavior, this not only refers to putting pressure on other people or partners, but also including ending sexual behaviors that could harm their health. physical or soul face. For example, when meeting a very attractive person and you want to have sex with them, the problem is that they have all kinds of emotional issues, as well as other difficulties, so you know there will be many. trouble later, if you pair with them. So do not have sex with them, to protect your health. We should not let desire draw, just because someone looks so beautiful!

What To Do When You Go Too Limited To Set Yourself

Sometimes, it is difficult to avoid the problem of exceeding the limits that I have set out in the behavior, so Buddhism has introduced treatment rules to deal with such cases:

• Admit  what you did. Be honest with yourself.
• Regret  about what you have done and wish you never did it. This is different from guilt, when you think you're a bad person and can't forgive yourself.
• Determined to  try not to repeat that behavior.  
• Reaffirm your  motivation, that you don't want to overcome the limit, because this will lead to suffering and creating difficulties.
• Applying treatment for treatment . For example, if you scream at someone, you can honestly apologize to them and explain that you should not be happy, or for some reason.

Born Chewing

This is related to the way of life, some ethical ways of living, and others are not.

Real Chief Network

This involves avoiding getting rich from harmful techniques, or doing business in a way that is harmful to yourself and others. This includes, such as:

• Producing or trading weapons
• Kill animals, hunt, fish and kill insects
• Producing, trading or serving in places where alcohol or drugs are sold
• Casino management
• Publishing and distributing porn books.

These ways of living harm others, or in the case of pornography, increase people's desire. Even if there is a true career, it is important to be honest and avoid cheating:

• Selling high prices, want to make as much customer money as possible
• Embezzlement, take the company's money to spend
• Extortion, intimidating others to get their money
• Bribery
• Exploiting others
• Advertising scam
• Mix food or products to get more profit.

There are too many ways to cheat! We need to apply discipline to ourselves, to avoid such a way of living.

Chanh Mạng

Should focus on ways of living honestly and benefiting society, such as:

• Medical
• Community service
• Fair trade
• Produce or trade products and services that are useful to others.

Any profession that offers a healthy social life and the welfare of others is very good. In addition, we should:  

• Do not deceive others, or get too high prices
• Affordable price, to have words, but just right
• Pay good salaries for employees, so as not to exploit them.

One thing that people often ask questions is an urgent issue. One time, I translated for a Tibetan teacher in Australia, where there were many schools, and someone asked, "In my province, there is only one job to cultivate fields to provide wool and meat. What should I do? I can't move to another city to find another job. ” The Tibetan lama said, "The main thing is to work honestly, not deceive anyone, and not abuse animals, but treat them with kindness, feed them and take care of them properly. . ". Then the point is kind and honest. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.25/2/2019.
