Live a happy life.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

Renunciation is for the whole life of pure practice of virtue, that is, to keep the precepts, to protect the discipline, to cultivate a pure network and to be mindful of awareness. Those are the noble qualities of a false saint Arahant. Bhikkhu-stilts, Bhikkhu-stilts-ni, ladies and gentlemen that we see every day, no one has witnessed the lowest results, but their daily life is to live according to the personality and dignity of an infinite saint. birth.

That personality began with life closed to the precepts. The precepts and the majesty are the pontoon bridges that support the weak footsteps that continue to stand and come on the way back to the posture, overcoming the yang yang and samsara.

Where is the sea of ​​birth and death? Stay in the eye! The eyes are the big sea of ​​man and the other is the wave. If someone is able to bear the three peaches, he will cross the other side of the sea of ​​the eye, with the waves, the vortices, the harmful insects and the female demon La-close. Ear, nose, tongue, body, mind; they are the sea of ​​people, sounds, scents, tastes, touches and dharma are waves. If anyone can bear this three peaches, he will cross the other side of the sea of ​​the eye, with the waves, the vortices, the harmful insects and the female demon La-close.

Those who "respect to identity are perceived by their eyes but have a mindfulness and infestation; due to mindfulness, infestation, often on consciousness and being bound by it, being held by it, it is impossible to enter Nirvana right in the present life. The same goes for ears, nose, tongue, and body. ” 2

Therefore, we must always uphold 6 units, do not let the 6 scenes become infected, called the dormitory room. Just like a turtle lives in a riverine bush. The other day, a hungry animal went to find food, and when he saw the turtle, he jumped to grab it. The tortoise saw it, and he took all the tail and four legs in tomorrow. Farm guard waiting for the turtle poked his head, his legs are taken out. But wait too long, but certainly the turtle does not stick its head and legs out. Wild can be hungry, angry away.

"Hey monks, today you know that too. The Three-week Ma is always searching for opportunities with you. Expect your eyes to be sharp, your ears to hear, your nose to smell, your tongue to taste, your body to touch, and to remember the dharma that incite your mind to contaminate the six ceilings. So Bhikkhu-stilts, you must always keep the eye of the eye. When we have settled in the law of the eyes, even if the eyes arise and the conditions of the eyes, the Evil Three-week-old cannot find an opportunity. The same is true for the ears of the nose, tongue, and body. Although the other six bases have arising or conditions, they cannot find convenience. Like a turtle, I can't find any opportunity. ”  3

Raising a pure network

Everyone in society has their own roles, responsibilities, jobs and careers to support themselves, help families and build a society. And how does the monk support the life of the body? King Ajātaśatru once asked Duc The Ton: "What are monks doing? What is the current practical result of Sa-mon? ” 4

The monk does not need to cultivate plow, does not weave cloth but still has food and clothes, is it the benefit of the monk? Not only that, they have both large pagodas, large houses, comfortable rooms, which is the benefit of monks? Some people were supported by the king of the gods, the devotees were respectful, they were not arrested by soldiers, they were not disturbed by the people but were naturally happy, relaxed, liberal, which was the benefit. of monastic?

Ancient people have a verse that says:

"The rice seeds of the owner

Big as Tu di mountain

If the great religion fails

Bring feathers to the horns to pay ”.

See here enough to see, the renunciation if because of the clothes, accommodation, fame and monks, they are in the painting without knowing! The so-called benefits of the monk is to be able to liberate defilements, to extinguish ignorance, to be immeasurable, to be forbidden, to be free from samsara, that is to do the best to win, noble. all, in heaven and humans. If that is not the case, even if there is wealth to the golden gold, then to be glorious as a monk for seven emperors, there is no benefit to the table!

In fact, the means of raising the life of a monk simply follows the tradition of the Buddhas. The lineage of the Buddhas has four lineages, which is to cover the body with three algae, maintain the body with a bowl, sleep under the tree, the moor, the forest, the cave, the graveyard and have fun except negativity. 5 "Ananda, I have told you before about the four Saints. Bhikkhu-stilts, Bhikkhu-stilts-ni receive the bad medicine that knows satisfaction, tri-sufficiency, not because the clothes that wish to satisfy your mind. If not yet, he will not be depressed, not crying, not punching his chest, not foolish. If you have been robed, you will not be infected, not before, without desire, not greedy, not hiding, not storing. When you use medicine, you will see the accident and know the separation. Being able to benefit like that is still not entertaining but having right mind. It is Bhikkhu-stilts, Bhikkhu-stilts-ni, righteousness, where the former saints are transmitted. About food and the same seat. Desire to subtract, enjoy the exclusion, desire to cultivate, enjoy cultivating. He wanted to subtract, except for the excuse, want to cultivate, enjoy cultivating, so you do not despise, not contempt. Such benefits, not entertaining but righteous. It is called Bhikkhu-stilts,6

Talent quality

Old time, Tri-monk 7 ever mentioned ten virtuous deeds of the ancient people so that the latter can study and train to deserve the quality of the monk. Accordingly, the monk must define himself for renouncing all the defilements of the secular world, so he must practice living for a high and simple bar. But the high bar, which is not serious, is just a high habit of the madman. People who study Buddha must follow the three professional karmas, the mind, the mind to purify, then have the opportunity to attain the karma, so the second good thing to learn is serious. Serious acts need to be relied upon to teach new teachers to avoid mistakes. The teacher is the pedagogic, cultivating us into a person, so the third good and right thing is to respect the teacher. Having parents who give birth, raise us, then can receive the teacher's education, forgive the parents for their kindness and death. Moreover, The law of virtue is very much aloud, but the most important thing is that of filial piety, so the fourth virtue is filial piety. The central spirit came from a filial son. The moral conduct of the filial piety must be perfect, only knowing that there is a friendship, not knowing the grace of the monarch and the nation is the behavior of the self-interested person.

In the book, it says: "A person who has merit, ten thousand people thanks", is the idea that when there is a master who has the virtue of regent, the nation of the people, we can thus be ordained, free to go. all over the mountains and rivers and streams to retreat. National grace is also great! So, the fifth good thing is to be loyal to the country. But if only the central morality is known, that is, only communicating with the leaders of the leadership, but not caring about the people, the believers who have supported them will not be moral. It is necessary to think of those who are muddy, impoverished and impoverished, which is the sixth good thing, from things. Loving kindness is very close. The renunciation that gives birth to loving-kindness is a major obstacle to spiritual practice, so the seventh good thing is to live for the noble.

The monk keeps the distance from everyone to calmly practice, on the one hand to cultivate himself, complete his self-sufficiency mission, then, when elaborately practicing, is naturally high happy to shine all the way, then it is time to return to the level of beings. That is the eighth, careful thing. Cautious is careful but hermit, find a place to be so innocent, it is also reluctant, because the virtue is not deep, so suffering, it is ninth good thing

However, there are also people who are afraid of hardships in the real world to find mountains, pagodas and temples to hide, to avoid life, to become unjust and eat through Buddha's door, which is not arduous behavior it is to borrow the path to create life, the mind has become lost. Once the mind has turned away, then no evil dared to do it. In fact, the cause and effect of morality reportedly did not leave anyone, even as small as a grain of dust, never differed. So, the monk cannot help but think about the causal cause and effect, that the tenth good and virtuous thing, that is, to always remember the law of cause and effect.

The ten virtuous and virtuous things above, if they are fully practiced, the virtue will be perfect, and becoming new talents can receive the Dharma. Just like the soil has been fertile, fertile and then can be planted, sowing seeds well. So is the mind, once it has been pure, then the morality can be understood and maintained; The great leader of the supreme Supreme Bodhi can expect achievement. If not like the above words to practice, it is just a wicked wife that only smuggled!

Life is dirty

The monks who lied in the temple lied in the pagoda, called 'borrowing the way to create life', which, according to the scriptures, was the 'Sa-mon-monastery'. It is a class that takes the form of Sa-keeper but the mind is not Sa-keeper, often running under the five senses, immersed in the list, beneficial, but claiming to be the monks, monks, Venerable ... “It is like being a donkey, going into a herd of cows and saying: 'I am a cow too! I'm a cow too! ' But his ears don't look like cows, horns are not the same, the tail is not the same, the sounds are different. ” 8 This monk is the same, even if he is honored with any title, they are not Sa-mon. Suppose there is a Bhikkhu-stilts in the village, but in the early morning, Bhikkhu-stilts carry medicine to hold the bowls in the qifu gangui without taking care of the body, not defending the grounds, not staying at mindfulness, but the he went into his house again and gave a sermon; the dharma or the Buddha's theory, or by the literary theory, thanks to that he can benefit, such as a blanket, food, drink, mattress bed, medicine, full of needs for life. After being benefited, he became even more immersed in soft touch, did not see disaster, could not let go, wore his life. Bhikkhu-stilts practice evil world, achievements of evil, stand close to the edge, become bad, corrupt, not dignity, but claiming to be a virtue, not Sa-mon but claiming to be Sa-keeper . He is a monk whose life is dirty, living like an otter, 9

Not because of poverty but renunciation

Lifestyles like otter species, such as bird-saving birds, vultures, bird-eating birds, wolves, crows are living for food! Being ordained like that is because I could not live in my life by my own labor, so I came to the temple gate to live thanks to the credit. With such a mind, it is impossible to be happy 'on the bridge of Buddha, under the saving of sentient beings.' A person who himself is incapable of raising life, how to obtain the vow of lofty 'immeasurable beings'? Is it self-deception, deceiving people ?!

At that time, in Sa-millet, there were three good men and women who were fake Religion A-na-law-da, Sun Jia Nan and Sun-Jin-la-la, both teenagers who were studying, and come to enter this Dharma not long. All three false Religions are children of the noble family, living in the silk velvet, the richest.

When The Sun visited, he immediately asked, "Is the monks practicing peacefully?" Why did He ask that? Because, all the disciples of The Sun are monks who study not because of fear of bandits, not because of fear of debt, not of fear of terrorism,  not of fear of poverty, nor of for fear of not being able to live in life, but having to leave home to study.  A-na-law-momentum, Nan-topic and Kim-ti-la Tam ethnic identity element 10  surely because noble ideals that ordained, because groups revolting birth, aging, illness, death, crying, grieving, or wanting to leave this great block of suffering should become a monk.

The Blessed One for the purpose of living peacefully in the present life, and because of the mercy of the living beings after that, living in the deserted forest, in the deep mountains, under the tree, preferring to stay high, absent from the fame, alienation, There is no evil, no shadow, depending on the static. Disciples and renunciation of The Religion have many, many people witnessed the result. But not because of the tendency of the person who speaks, nor because of deceiving people, nor because of wanting to please the person when the disciple dies, Tathagata recognizes this position to be born here, the other is born there . The reason for Tathagata declares the attainment of the holy result, or the birth of this place, the other place of the disciples is for everyone to know as if it is true that, if those who practice the right Dharma, then surely there will be benefits and security. lost, freed; and that statement is for everyone to follow, to somehow live in comfort and comfort,11.

Epilogue

Being ordained is to accept qifu gangui, begging for food, a life of the lowest, the most marginalized, a person who is often jealous. For what purpose? For the purpose, for the ideal of the distant end of suffering; because of meekness, fear of birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, crying, optimism, suffering, brains.

With such a mind, but to study the religion, but live according to the craving, immerse to the end, the defilements tighten the mind, jealousy, distrust, laziness, loss of mindfulness, unrighteousness, evil , crazy mind, disorder of the bases, hold the precepts very negligently, do not cultivate Sa-mon, do not develop large, it is the class of people who take blood to wash blood, remove dirt, remove dirt and remove dirt, and subtract feces, only increasing filth; remove the obscurity to enter the obscurity, leave the darkness to enter the dark place 12 . END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.26/5/2019.
