What is Prajna? 
Meaning of the Eightfold Love..VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.



Bat Quan Trai is a method of active cultivation and the victory of lay people. Life at home is very busy, so there is little time to cultivate virtue in a positive way to facilitate the enlightenment of yourself. So because of the great benevolence, the Master from the Father has allowed laypeople in the six days who are known to be nouns in the sutras using the say: on the 8th, 14th, 15th, day. 23, 29, 30, called six days, it is known that according to traditional Indian customs and religions as well as those without beliefs, these six days are very important and related to life. human life,



"The Blessed One, today is the day of the disciples' disciples, disciples, please vow to keep up the Eight Precepts." 

And after saying so and then setting it up yourself: 

"Disciple please take refuge in the Buddha, please take refuge in the Dharma, ask for refuge in the Sangha, for the second time, the disciples ask to take refuge in the Buddha, ask for refuge in the Dharma, ask for refuge in the Sangha, for the third time the disciples ask to take refuge in the Buddha, ask for refuge in the Dharma, ask for refuge in the Sangha. . 

Then read the eight precepts: 

"Disciple vows to keep the precept of not killing the living creatures, not to give away without giving, not to do acts of wrongdoing, not to say untruthfully, not to be passionately drunk with the wine and wine brewed, not to eat at no time and don't dance for musicals and make-up, don't use the screen too high to be gorgeous. ” 

Then decide for yourself:

"De voluntary life to maintain Tam Quy and Bat Quan Trai to fully complete the eight nights that the Blessed One spread in order to keep the act according to the purity of the present day and tonight to sow the graceful liberation in the future. "

Then that day became the day of maintenance of the Precepts of the Patriarch and became a practitioner of Bat Quan Trai Moi, however, because it was a day of work, I was afraid that I could not be pure and clean because I could not work at work. Certainly so often the Buddhists on the weekends, and the monks are also happy to hand over the Precepts for the World on weekends like your free time. It is a very encouraging opportunity and very revenge is that you can go to the temple to live in the temple for 24 hours, if you are guided by the monk, it is really a pure day, but very happy, but if not If you have a monk to guide you, you will be happy to take your high morale and it is a merit. 

Merit is merit, there are two: contraband and uncontrolled.

Illegal possession is the merit that you create in life as giving alms, but of course you enjoy being in countless lives after that year of happiness: rupa which wins, life long-term network, and full happiness, extraordinary health, and lucid wisdom, are in countless lives and at least 500 lives later. When we think about the merits we can reap in our future lives, we also have some joy, but the part of this joy that is mixed with negativity means that we still continue to take part in delusion. The lustful love of sex and sex and the demon king still dominates us and the path of samsara and samsara still lasts, but if the Bat Quan Trai Giay, thanks to the merit of practicing Bat Quan Trai Gioi, it can be created. a moral merit, not a pirated property

Unconsciousness is the merit of the Eight-Fold Siddhartha is capable of assisting the practitioner to escape the source of birth and death and to eliminate all the karma of karma, thus this merit is extremely extraordinary, noble enemy wins, it so large that in the sutra gives an image so that for example, someone who is fully qualified can offer the four things ie clothing, food, shelter, medicine to the Buddhas but dwell in this universe, that is, in this universe, all the Buddhas filled with all, offering like that every day, for the whole hundred years of this life, such offerings are not the same as the 1/16 of the merit of life. Bat Quan Trai Gioi, then you see how great merit of life is to maintain Bat Quan Trai Gioi.

But why talk about the offerings of Buddhas, you also enjoy immeasurable merit, but just now, you said that enlightenment to win the life long life of happiness, extraordinary health and lucid wisdom are in countless the number of lives remains samsara. All of us give the mind to maintain the Eightfold Noble Precepts, then you become a practitioner of the Eight Precepts, thanks to the merit of this Eight-Precepts of Compassion, which will support all of you to escape the cycle of birth and death. Buddha has only one vow that is to expose enlightened beings to the knowledge that is open to all enlightened beings, that is to see attainment, the body that enters into knowledge is the seeing of the known Buddhas. Buddha calculated or was enlightened or Bodhi, so today all the Buddhists are practitioners of the Eight Precepts, this merit is truly immense.

In all the lives of all of you, if you are not guided by the monks, it is really hard to create this merit. In ĐĐ Giac Ðồng's version, it is explained very briefly and neatly, you have that version, then you will see that the explanation is very jagged, neat and bright, just read through and understand why they are we have to cultivate the Eightfold Path. Today it can be said that the life of all of you in this 24 hour clock is similar to the life of the monks, so is the monk, but if it is not the Bat Quan day, then life of all you do not match the life of the monks. The life of the monks in addition to not killing the living creatures, not taking their donations, not doing the wrong acts, not telling the truth, not passionate about the alcohol of wine and alcohol, all of you today with the monks the same is not eating at the same time,

This self-control life if it is not the Bat Quan Trai Day, then you really have no time at all, you are the slave of the devil, wronged by demons and we all become relatives The part of the fish that swallowed the evil's bait, the bait is the beauty of the sound or the aroma of the delicious taste, while swallowing the prey of that demon, the devil is the one who left that bait and in that bait the hook, the hook that is the old death and death sickness, the glass of resentment and grief, and all that suffering is the hook, and that bait is the beauty or the aroma that the evil It is the fisherman, when our body is a fish that has swallowed the bait with a hook, then the fish is really irresistible. n how the last fish we know, from suffering to death.

But today all of us are a wise fish who is still free to swim freely in the cool water and depending on where they want to swim, if they want to go diving, they can go diving according to their preferences. I do not suffer from any attachment, it is the image of a fish without prey, not swallowing bait and without hook. This is the image of all of you today who are practitioners of the Eightfold Path.
T
The second image that is in the "Bait" is the identity of all sentient beings who are not practitioners of the Eightfold Path, not cultivating the world, not like the young deer. inexperienced, so the professional hunters they follow and they know the way the deer walks, they block that way and they open a new path, and when they open more children The new road they had taken away with these new paths, now that they could no longer walk, they found another way to follow that path, seeing that there were good prey, the deer because of lack of experience and appetite So seeing bait, eat it, eat this bait, and see that there is prey in the front and continue to eat like that, then finally get trapped by you. Professional hunters, that is the part of beings who do not practice the Eight Precepts,

But if it is a practitioner of Bat Quan Trai Gioi, in the sutra it is said that the image of the big, unsuccessful deer has the experience and the familiar path is not possible, the way back is blocked and now Now there is a new way, there is no way to go, but very carefully, step by step observations and after observing step by step, there is bait, thanks to observation, thanks to no appetite, thanks to experience living so these old deer did not eat those prey and so did not get trapped, the second thing to eat slowly, eat cautiously and slowly, cautiously, cautiously and wisely eat being baited but not trapped is the image of all practitioners of the Eight-Sage World today, that is, our eyes still see today. But we are not blind, our ears are still listening, not deaf, my mouth still speaks and my tongue is still eating because we are not dumb, and my feet are still going, my hand is still doing, because we are not lame, but it is like that but the look today of hearing, smelling, and speaking , food, touch, thoughts other than ordinary days, often because of lack of mindfulness: lack of mindfulness, lack of mindfulness, lack of mindfulness, lack of mindfulness, lack of mindfulness, and touching without mindfulness, walking without mindfulness. Today, we do the same thing but have mindfulness, we know ourselves, the province and the senses, because of the mindfulness, the province and the senses, today the day when the practitioner Bat Quan Trai really strayed track of the devil. It is difficult for us to get out of the path of the devil, the Buddha He has come out of, the Venerable Buddhists of the Saints have fallen out, including Bhikkhu, Bhikshuni, There are U Ba Tat, U U Di means good men and women have come out, but all of us until today have not escaped the moral path of evil, we still go in the forest. That religion, but today we do not really go in the direction of the evil spirit, we have chosen for ourselves a different direction.The direction of the devil is greedy and mischievous, the craving beauty is beautiful or smells good, but the direction of today we all choose is not so. If you are only a bit calm, you will find that in the eight precepts you have kept it, it is true that you have chosen a different path for yourself, the direction of today is not greedy, no yard, no si, no I don't have any suspicion, the direction of today is not to have the fondness of lust, but the direction of today is not because the beauty is beautiful or the smell is delicious and the taste is good,END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN  TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.22/4/2019.
