This Flower Sutra is also known as the Dhamma Sutra, also known as the Void Sutra, which is nowhere near the dharma realm, there is no place where there is no Flower Sutra there. The residence of Kinh Hoa Nghiem, which is also the residence of Buddha, is also the residence of the Dharma, also the residence of Hien Thanh Tang. So when Buddha had just become righteous, he said this Sutra of Sutra, to teach all dharmakaya dharmas. Because this sutra is the inconceivable miracle, this Sutra is preserved under the Long Palace, protected by the Dragon King. Later, by the Bodhisattva Long Life, he came down under Long Palace to recite and memorize this Sutta, then passed on to the world.

This Sutra of Sutra, as well as the cloud of sand and earth in nothingness, shines all over the three thousand celestial worlds, like rain of nectar, imbued with all beings. This Strictly Flower Sutra, as well as sunlight, shines all over the world, making all beings warm. This Sutra Sutra is like a great place, growing all things. So, there is the Sutra of Sutra that exists, it can be said that the period of righteous dhammas is long. Every day we lecture the Hoa Nghiem Sutra, study Hoa Nghiem Sutra, it is important to reflect the meaning of the Sutras and practice, to use the Sutra to treat the illness of our body and mind. We ourselves have greedy mind, when we hear the Sutra of Sutra, we should eliminate the greedy mind; If you hear the Hoa Nghiem Sutra, you should subtract the mind from the mind; have a foolish mind, when hearing the Hoa Nghiem Sutra,

The morality of this sutra is the treatment of our sickness. Do not assume that what is said in the Sutra, only because of the Bodhisattva, for us there is no relationship, or the dharma for the Arhat, for us there is no relationship, we are listening to this sutra is just listening, knowing how to do without the realm of saints. If you think like that, it is self-harm, self-throwing, self-defeating in Saints.

Each verse of Hoa Nghiem is Dharma Precepts, if we practice in practice, it means the practice of the Dharma, it will definitely become a Buddha. Therefore, the Sutra Sutra can also be said to be the mother of the Buddhas. Hoa Nghiem is the dharmakaya of the Buddhas. The Buddha praised the Kim Cang Sutra that: "If there is a sutra where there is a sutra, then there is a Buddha". Where there is this Sutra of Sutra, there is a Buddha in that place, too much of your karma is too deep, opposite but also not seeing Buddha, so there is a saying: "Oppose any Avalokitesvara" (Opposite not recognize the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara). You see this Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, thousands of thousands of eyes, always emitting unimaginable clarity, radiating all beings with predestined relationships in the three thousand heavenly worlds. Yet we daily worship Buddha here, recite Buddha's name, bow to the Quan Yin Bodhisattva, recite Guanyin Bodhisattva,

Every day we bowed to Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, reciting Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, how should we do? Do we have many anger? Does my old disability not change? So you bow to the end of your future life, you cannot see the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. If you improve evil towards righteousness, except for eliminating the sickness of the gas, fix the human error, then the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara will be able to defend you. So there are cultivators for many years, a little wisdom does not open up, some practitioners practice soon after opening wisdom, gaining uneasy measures. Therefore, we are renunciation, must diligently practice the precepts, eradicate greed and hatred, and act in the act of reflecting, reflecting on the way of spiritual practice, thus making progress.

We teach the Sutra Sutra, listen to the Sutra Sutra, bow to the Sutra Sutra, recite the Sutra of Sutra, but do not practice the Sutra of Sutra but practice it as Sutra, you are a friend, we are you, there is little Which one is suitable for? We must conform to the sutras and do one, according to the morality in the sutras, to practice, that is to do one; you do not follow the sutras but practice it, your compassionate mind is not enough, your mind is not so much, only your mind is ignorant, it is not understanding Kinh, nor hearing Kinh. Listen to any sentence, think about it: how do we practice? Do we follow bad habits? Or is it according to the sutras that practice? Often asking myself, I will definitely benefit. Why not gain great benefits? Because you see Kinh as Kinh, for us there is no relation. Really, At first the Buddha said that the United States is also because of you, me and all beings, it is Buddha to us. We listen to this text, just as our ears hear the Buddha say this morality, teaching us to follow this practice and practice it.

Any dharma is not out of our own nature. Our self-nature, is also spoiled all over the world. So, if you release a great amount of mind, then you will fit in the Hoa Nghiem Sutra but do one, two, but not two. Everyone follows the realm of Hoa Nghiem as his realm, taking immeasurable immeasurable morality, boundless wisdom of King Hoa Nghiem, collecting his intellectual works. You see ! How big is that!

Introductions

This Sutra of the Strictly Great Buddha, when Shakyamuni Buddha sat down under the Bodhi Tree, had just become a sense of mind, did not leave the court but was in concentration to seven places (three places in humanity, four places). staying in Thien Cung), because the great masters of the house are cut, and saying that the body is cut by the dharma teacher, going straight to the moral precepts, passing through the nine societies within twenty-one days, then the talk is finished. This inconceivable. This Bible includes 45 texts, but only translated into 39 products, including 80 volumes. In every association the Buddha is radiant, the representative said Hoa Nghiem is great. Illumination is a sign of wisdom, suffering for all sentient beings, and attaining the Buddha Dharma benefit.

This product is a round of almonds and fruit, which is "the legal practice of cultivating the virtue of success".

The ninth Assembly is at the Forest of the Max. The place in the Citadel, which is also the garden where he is the loner, the tree of Prince Da Da, also known as the Essence of Perfection, is also called Trong The Teachers. When the Buddha became righteous, there was no lecture hall, later established. Song, there is no Gravity of the Path, so the Buddha how the sermon here? It is an incredible scene of magic. The Buddha can bring countless past lives to the present, can also bring countless lives to the present. So there is no distinction between past, present and future, which is an unbelievable content. Like in the Kim Cang Sutra, it is said: "The mind is impossible to attain" (the three minds cannot attain), the same morality, that is: the past mind cannot grasp, the present mind cannot grasp, the mind the future also cannot grasp.

Why? You say there is a past, an attachment, a present is an attachment, a future is also an attachment. Because the past is over, it does not stop, and the future is not yet come, it is a break. At this meeting the Buddha launched a stream of white aura, showing all three thousand celestial beings, making all sentient beings imbued with rain, giving birth to a good base. This association is divided into the main and secondary associations. The Association is the Buddha Thich Ca Mau Ni as the headmaster, entering into the Three Lions of the Qin Buddha, manifesting the magic and speaking, making the mass "cut the legal world". The sub-Association is the Bodhisattvas who are the leaders, Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, Bodhisattva Manjushri and the good-minded people because of the Compassionate Good Fortune, which clearly states "the precepts of the dharma realm". This association only said one product: 
39. Products into the Dharma Realm.

But there are twenty-one volumes. This association is a testimony of the cause and effect, which is "the witness who enters into the merit". The upper part is the thirteen marvelous dhammas spoken in humanity.

Now briefly introduce about seven places, nine assemblies, thirty-nine products, hope people remember, waiting for any lectures to know where that product is said, what Bodhisattva says, having such a concept I can understand it.

The United States is strictly Mahayana, because of the Bodhisattva Dharma body, it is purely to cultivate bodhicitta, the Bodhisattva, so the Hinayana, however, is in the dharma assembly, but as deaf as blind , "There are eyes that cannot see Lot Xa Na, whose ears do not hear the fathers cut". Because when they are at humanity, they do not practice the Mahayana dharma, so they do not have the great benefit. So naturally we are not Bodhisattvas, not Arhat, why can we hear the name Kinh Hoa Nghiem Dai Phuong Quang Buddha, but also hear the magic of Hoa Nghiem? That is because in the past we have planted the good ground with the Mahayana dharma, so today it is possible to come to listen to the dharma, otherwise it is like a minor person, like being blind. This is an opportunity to meet thousands of lives. Hopefully every diligent person is more diligent, making more efforts, to study the magic of this Sutra.

In the road there is a monk named Vuong Minh Can. Although he was ordained as a monk, he did not practice. One day, being taken away by the impermanent demon, he met the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, teaching him a verse of the Sutra of Sutra:

"The disadvantage of sexuality is that 
the three worlds necessarily need the Buddha's 
precepts of the precepts 
."

Meaning: 
"If anyone wants to know clearly 
All three-life Buddha 
Be aware of the dharma 
Realm of all created by the mind".

He saw the King of Pluto reading this verse, thus being released. This verse not only saves the life of that person, but also saves us from suffering in hell. You see it! This verse is so useful, so it must be recited the Sutra of Sutra, to bow to the Sutra of Sutra, to seal the Sutra of Sutra, and definitely have immeasurable merit.

PREFACE

I believe this is the first time that the Hoa Nghiem Bible has been preached in the United States and that you are also the first to hear the lecture. Currently due to limited time, it is not possible to explain details. Why? Because if you talk too much, you are afraid that it will not be finished in just six weeks of lecturing, so it can only be taught briefly. First I will lecture on the origin of this sutra.

In the Buddhist scriptures, this Sutra Sutra is the king of the sutras, also the king of the kings. The Lotus Sutra is also the king of the sutras but cannot claim to be the king of the kings. This Mahayana Buddha Sutra is venerated as the king of the kings, the sutra of the longest Mahayana system that the Buddha said, but the time of Buddha's sutras is not very long, Buddha Shakyamuni said This set of Hoa Nghiem is only within twenty-one days.

This sutra has eighty-one volumes, there are also only forty volumes or sixty volumes, but all are incomplete. Even this set of eighty-one books, just like there are all three parts, Title, Politics and Circulation.

After the Buddha Shakyamuni spoke of the Sutra of Sutra, this sutra was never handed down in the world, even India did not have this sutra. So, has this scripture been taken away by anyone? Being asked by the Dragon King to come to the Long Palace for offerings on the day of worship.

After the Buddha-Ca-Mau-Ni Buddha passed away for six hundred years, there was a Bodhisattva named Long Tho, supreme intelligence, no one matched. He had read all the literature, essays, and scriptures in the world, so the starting Bodhisattva wanted to come to Long to see the Tripitaka and He found this Sutra in the dragon's palace. Hua Nghiem has three versions: upper, middle and lower. The upper version has thirteen great celestial beings and the world of the bare earth. How much do you see? The number of mote of a world is already immeasurable, the number of mote of the world is much higher.

Why is it called the celestial world? A Tu-di mountain, a sun, a moon is a world; a thousand mountains of Tu-di, a thousand suns, a thousand moons combined to form a world miniatures; Combining a thousand miniatures in the world is called a world center; Combining a thousand central beings in the world is called a world heaven. The number of mote in a celestial world is an infinite number that cannot be counted. Now the number of shelves recited as much as the number of microwaves in the world of thirteen great celestial worlds is even more countless.

Kinh Nghiem has many products? The upper version has a number equal to the number of mote of a celestial body. "One of the four heavenly beings" means: "one" is a Tu-di mountain, "four" is the four great nations (Dong Sheng Shenzhou, Nam Thuy Bo Chau, Tay Nguu Chau, Bac Cau Chau), it is called a quartet. The number of the upper Kinh Hoa Hoa Nghiem is as much as the number of mote of a celestial quarter, how much do you say? I can't count either. The Chinese version of Huayen has four hundred and ninety thousand eight thousand and eight hundred verses, divided into one thousand and two hundred pieces. The Chinese version of Sutra has eighty-five items, divided into forty-eight items. Bo-slapped Long Tho's ability to memorize is very extraordinary, he recited the memorandum of the Chinese version of Nghi Nghiem and after returning to India copied the whole, then from India to China. The scriptures transmitted to China are only eighty volumes,

Venerable Sakyamuni Buddha preached the Sutra Sutra at seven different places, a total of nine dharmas. If you can understand the meaning in this Sutra Sutra, it is seen as the Buddha's whole body; if you are through the Surangama Sutra, you will see the peak of Buddha's humiliation; if you are able to get through the Lotus Sutra, you will see the Buddha's body, but not fully; If you can master the morality in the Sutra of Sutra, you will see your whole body and your wisdom.

This Chinese Sutra is like a big sea, while other sutras are like small rivers. Small rivers cannot match the big sea. Currently in the world, people who can preach the Sutra Sutra are not without, but the number is less and less. If we say no, then aren't we preaching? So how can you say there are no people! Even if someone learns the Dharma, learns the whole life, but even after the Kinh Hoa Nghiem name has never heard it, you say how pitiful that person is! This Chinese Sutra does not say that preaching but only reading through is very few people read through once. Reading through it once quickly takes twenty one days. Therefore, this sutra is difficult to meet.

Talking about the "lost country" of this sutra, there is a verse like this:

Leaving the Bodhisattva-Thirteenth 
, the four benefits and Da-ma's 
Priest Pho Quang Minh two, seven, eight 
Tha Hoa, Where the year, six years.

Buddha attained enlightenment in Bodhidharma, that is, at the Bodhi root that said the first Sutra Sutra, consisting of six dhammas, ten books; the second festival in Pho Quang Minh electricity said six products, four volumes; the third assembly in the heavenly-heavenly-speaking Dhamma speaks six products, three volumes; the fourth assembly in heaven, Da-ma said four things, three volumes; the fifth festival in heaven Where the Power said three products, twelve volumes; the sixth assembly in the heavens Tha Hoa speaks one item, six volumes; the seventh assembly returned to Pho Quang Minh and said eleven products, thirteen volumes; the eighth meeting is also at Pho Quang Minh, which speaks one product, seven volumes; The ninth assembly in the Forest of Teresa said a twenty-one volume. The Forest of Judas can now be called the grave site, where the remains of the human bones are dead. That is about the "lost country" of the lower village.

This lower sutta initially had thirty-nine items, forty-four thousand five thousand verses, later transmitted to China, but there were nine products, fifty thousand five thousand verses were still not transmitted. This Ministry, though incomplete, also completed the Title, Political and Circulation sections, so that Master Thanh Luong of Duong Duong when he praised Kinh Hoa Nghiem said that this sutra could be said to be temporarily temporary.

The monk Thanh Luong is the reincarnation of Bo-slapped Hoa Nghiem, why say he is the reincarnation of Bo-slapped Hoa Nghiem? Because He specialized in teaching the Sutra Sutra, not teaching other sutras. National monk Thanh Luong named Tra Quan, Tu Dai Huu, and Co Ke Ke, and Ha Hau. Born in the reign of Emperor Tang Tang, the year of Khai Nguyen (713-741) in Mau Dan (738). His body was nine feet tall, two hands longer than his knees and had forty teeth. Usually our teeth are thirty or so, and the teeth have forty of them are noble, who are so few. The Buddha's teeth have forty-two pieces, while National Master Thanh Luong has forty; In the dark, his eyes looked like they were shining, eyes emitted light, and in the daytime they were like ordinary people, except that his irises always stood still. The fourth year, the year of Kien Trung, He finished writing the set of the Flower of Strange Stars; This star series is the glossary for the most famous Flower Sutra.

Before writing the "Sao Sao", he prayed to the Bodhisattvas in Hoa Nghiem Association. "Being" is helping him. There was a night, he dreamed that on the top of the mountain, it turned into a golden color. When he woke up, he knew it was a clear light. From then on, he wrote Hoa Nghiem Sua Sao very smoothly, without any effort to reflect on anything. Usually when writing, most of us have to think to write each sentence word by word. And He does not need to think, write fast like writing articles. Over the past four years, he has fully annotated the Hoa Nghiem scriptures. After he finished writing, he dreamed again, not sure whether it was a dream or not, but he saw a realm like this so he could be called a dream. He dreamed that he turned into a dragon, and then from that dragon turned into thousands of thousands, ten thousand, such countless countless dragons, Fly to other worlds. It was He who saw the realm of Hoa Nghiem. Everyone thinks it is a symbol of the meaning of circulation.

National monk Thanh Luong lived through two generations of Sui and Duong with nine dynasties, as the teacher of seven emperors. After the National Master passed away, there was an Indian monk who came to China, in the middle of the way he met the two fellow monks in blue, this monk was the one who witnessed Arhat, and he blocked the two pupils above. nowhere to ask:

- Where are you going?

The pupil replied:

- We went to China to ask for the ban of Bo-slapped Hoa Nghiem to power Manjushri in India offering.

The La-Han after arriving in China told the king about the two pupils who came to visit the ban of the Bo-slapped Hoa Nghiem, apparently only to Master Thanh Luong. So the king for the tower of the National Master, it was discovered that the Grand Master lost a forbidden tooth. These phenomena are incredibly unthinkable. You see! Bo-slapped Hoa Nghiem came to China, so the new Master Thanh Luong had such a special appearance.

Based on the division of the National Master Thanh Luong on the Sutra Sutra, the first five volumes are the title, the fifty-five volumes in the middle are the righteous part, the later nineteen volumes are the circulation. Although this sutra is not fully translated into Chinese, but the title, the section of circulation and the righteous part are full. Those who propagate the Sutra Sutra in China are all Bodhisattvas, if they are not the realm of Bodhisattva, they cannot preach the Hoa Nghiem Sutra. The realm of the United States is strictly enlightened with the infinite miraculousness, the miraculousness in the miracle, the miracle of mystery. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.27/5/2019.
