Life Is The Land Of Temporary Temporary Life.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.

  

Once upon a time, these monks, who had a monk named Araka, who had no desire for sex. He has hundreds of disciples, and this is the teaching he taught them:

"Shortly for human life, this Brahman, human life is limited and temporary; and when he is born as a human being, everyone carries full of suffering, on body and in the soul. to understand this wisely, by the way, we must do good deeds and live a clean life, because when we are born as human beings, no one escapes death. "

"Like dewdrops on the top of the grass, then disappear hastily under the warm sunshine of the sun; this Brahman, likewise, human life is as fragile as a dewdrop. Human life is short, yes and, when born as a human being, everyone carries full of suffering, on the body and in the soul, we should understand this wisely, by way of which we must work good and pure life, because when a man was born, no one escaped death. "

"It's like falling rain from the sky, heavy, bumping into each other, breaking into a bubble, then they vanish quickly; this Brahman, likewise, human life is as fragile as a bubble. Human life is short, limited, and temporary, and once born as a human, everyone carries a lot of suffering, on the body and in the soul, we should understand this wisely, by way, we have to do good deeds and live a clean life, because when we were born as human beings, no one escaped death. "

"It is like I take a branch of a picture on the water, the figure disappears hastily; this Brahman, likewise, his life is as pale as a drawing spreading on the water. His life is short, yes. and, when born as a human being, everyone carries full of suffering, on the body and in the soul, we should understand this wisely, by way of which we must work good and pure life, because when a man was born, no one escaped death. "

"Just like a stream on a mountain, appearing from afar, quickly rushed down from above, entwined with many wrecked leaves, then whirled forward, there was no stopping moment; In the same way, human life rushes like a stream, plunging down from the mountain, human life is short, limited, and temporary, and once born as a human being, everyone carries a burden of suffering. , on the body and in the soul, we should understand this wisely, by the way, we must do good deeds and live a clean life, for when we are born as human beings, no one escapes death. . "

"Just as the athlete used his tongue in his mouth, gathered an array of saliva on the tip of his tongue, then spit it out easily; this Brahman was like that, his life was filthy like a saliva plague to the ground. people are short, limited, and temporary, and when born as human beings, everyone carries a lot of suffering, on the body and in the soul, we should understand this wisely, by , we must do good deeds and live a clean life, for when we were born as human beings, no one escaped death. "

"Just like a piece of meat thrown into an iron pan, burned all day long, the piece of meat will quickly be burnt completely; this Lady Brahman, likewise, human life is ashes as a piece of burnt meat. In a hot pan, human life is short, limited, and temporary, and once born as a human being, everyone carries full of suffering, on the body and in the soul, we should understand this in a way wise, by the way, we have to do good deeds and live a clean life, because when we were born as human beings, no one escaped death. "

"Just like a cow led to a slaughterhouse for meat, every step of the way to the bull, is closer to the slaughterhouse, bring the neck close to death; it is as painful as a cow being cut to the flesh, human life is short, limited, and temporary, and when it is born as a human being, everyone carries full of suffering, on the body and in the soul. We should understand this wisely, by the way, we must do good deeds and live a clean life, because when we were born as human beings, no one escaped death. "

So the Bhikkhu, at that time, the life expectancy of the people was 60,000 years, and in this period, the young women waited until they were 500 years old, they started to get married. In these days, people have only six afflictions: coldness, heat, hunger, thirst, bowel movement and urination. Although people lived for a long time and suffered very little afflictions, Mr. Araka taught his disciples: "Human life is short, limited, and temporary; and when you are born as a person, everyone full of suffering, on the body and in the soul, we should understand this wisely, by way, we must do good deeds and live a clean life, because when we were born as human beings, we did not who escaped death. "

Behold, the Bhikkhus, today, we can say correctly, "Human life is short, limited, and temporary; and when it is born as a human being, everyone carries the burden of suffering, above. body and soul, we should understand this wisely, by the way, we must do good deeds and live a clean life, for when we are born as human beings, no one escapes death "; because people today only live a hundred years or a little longer. And when we live for a hundred years, we only have three hundred seasons: one hundred winters, one hundred summers, and one hundred rainy seasons. When we live three hundred seasons, we only have one thousand two hundred months: four hundred months of winter, four hundred summer months, and four hundred months of rainy season. When we live a thousand and two hundred months, we only have the number of times per two-week period, two thousand four hundred times:

And when we live two thousand and four hundred times per two-week period (meaning 100 years), we only have 36,000 days: 12,000 winter days, 12,000 summer days and 12,000 rainy days. And when we lived 36,000 days, we only ate 72,000 meals: 24,000 meals in the winter, 24,000 in the summer, and 24,000 in the rainy season. And this diet includes breastfeeding and times of not eating. And this is the reason for not eating: when you are upset, when you are upset because of suffering or when you are sick, and when you are not eating or drinking, it is for religious reasons or when you don't get food.

Behold, the Bhikkhu, we have estimated the lives of people living up to the age of 100: the limitation of their lifespan, summarizing the numbers they have lived like: number of seasons, number of years, number of months, number of times every two-week period, number of days and nights, number of meals, and number of meals not eaten.

Because we have compassion, because we want our disciples to be blessed, so what needs to be done from a compassionate teacher, we have done it. Behold, the Bhikkhus, look, this is the root of the tree; there were empty huts. Behold, the Bhikkhu, pay attention to practice meditation, not neglect, negligence, but don't regret it later. This is my sermon for you. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.17/3/2019.
