Understanding and Enlightenment.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

It is because of UNDERSTANDING and MYTH that are not the same, say a little ventilation, there are many classes of enlightenment: Having enlightenment is only penetration from books, or inferences. There is enlightenment by yourself, but it is still just a line of interpretation, not out of words.

Zen Master Phap Nhan Van Ich came to Man Nam to consult. In the middle of the road, with snow falling, we had to take a temporary stay in the Great Tibetan Institute to talk with Zen Master Que Sam for a few days. Tuyet ended, Van Ich retired to continue his charge. Que Sam sent the Dharma Label to the painting, immediately pointed to the stone on the road, asking: 

- Great virtue often says that the three idealistic worlds, the tenets of consciousness, or this rock in the mind of great virtue or outside the great virtue? 

Dharma Label does not need to think, respond immediately: 

- According to Duy consciousness, besides the mind, there is no dharma, of course in the mind. 

Que Sam laughed: 

- Virtue is to increase the charge, why should the rock be in the mind? 

The Dharma eye is not knowing how to answer, it must stay to settle the doubt.

The stone is visible to anyone outside the mind. But the Consciousness says that in addition to the mind, there is no dharma. The group said it was no joke. So where is it? With my current mind, the answer is still in my mind. That is the way of ordinary thinking of the people: Without this side, the other side, not in the outside, not outside, inside is not bad, it is beautiful, not beautiful, then bad ... never escape the split of the two sides discrimination. But if in mind, why Que Sam asked "Why do the stones in the mind?". 

The out-of-mind rock is contrary to the words of the Patriarch. The stone in the mind is smiled by Thien. So where is it? Not in nor out. Association? A little hesitation ... has passed!

Staying at the Tibetan Institute, daily Phap Nhan all came to interpret with Que Sam, but Que Sam shook his head all the time, giving the view of the Dharma that was not fully understood. Every time Que Sam answered: Buddha Dharma is not those things. Finally France Coal Labels: 

- I have already said the same words. 

Que Sam said: 

- If discussing Buddhism, everyone is available. 

Right at that word, the Dharma Label was enlightened.

It is not just Dharma that you know that everyone is available. I know it is Buddha nature. But that is to understand not to be enlightened. Why? Because in my head, only two words of Buddha nature appeared but I did not see how the Buddha-nature is shaped, how the face is. Wukong is to know how it is, how it looks. I will quickly "It is formless". Yes! It is formless, but how is it formless? If it is formless, then rely on where to know it? If there were generals to see, whether it was a general or not, how to say it was formless? There have been generals to see, it is a KNOWLEDGE, only a corrupt general, not a Buddha nature. Buddha nature does not fall into the seeing of the facility. If it is not a general, why does Bat Nha say, "General of the dharma does not give birth, etc.". A lot of things to confuse and doubt or just use knowledge to understand things beyond knowledge.

It is because of UNDERSTANDING and MYTH that are not the same, say a little ventilation, there are many classes of enlightenment: Having enlightenment is only penetration from books, or inferences. There is enlightenment by yourself, but it is still just a line of interpretation, not out of words. Having enlightenment is to enter a realm. Having enlightenment is evidence that there is no realm to witness ... Because enlightenment has many layers of such things, but in the meditation house there are many interesting things.

Once To Dong Pha visited Buddha India, wrote a letter in advance saying "As Zen Master Zhaozhou welcomed Zhao Wang, there is no need to go out." He gave himself a profound knowledge of deep meditation, so he wanted to use the supreme Buddha to receive himself as Trieu Chau once welcomed Trieu Vuong. But just arrived at the place where the Indian Buddha loomed at the gate. He blamed "The virtue of his teacher seems not to be equal to Trieu Chau. Still can't escape the routine. ” Unbelievably, the Buddha used the shelf to answer: 

Zhaozhou on that day lacks humility. 
Not coming to the gate to welcome Zhao Wang. 
Like Kim Son countless generals 
Dai Thien, a meditation bed.

Only understand the Buddha Dharma through the meaning of books and books, there is no experiment, so it is difficult to see the experience and see the true nature of those things. Trieu Chau did not listen to Trieu Vuong because Trieu Vuong was a high ranking soldier. But not every superiors is going that way, but going forward. Sometimes, because the mind will be new to each other to welcome each other. That is, the outside minister is not really what determines the nature of the event, even if it is like that. Crying, often expressing sadness. But sometimes it is too happy, tears also fall. To become that tearful general, do not explicitly express sadness or pleasure. Like not having to go to the gate like that, the way was not equal to the old. Everything is dependent on grace. Listen to the Indian Buddha saying: 

Like Kim Son, countless generals
Heavenly world a meditation bed 

Oh god! Assigning all three natural disasters in the world like that, what do the generals put in? He could only see the general come in, but he could not see the general "not coming out", because he had not escaped the discrimination. It is because of that distinction that everything is divided into the current paragraph.

In the Shurangama Sutra, Buddha likens beings like those who have chewed eyes to see a circle around the light bulb. Rounded by sick eyes. The disease is healthy, not circular. There is no ring in the eye. There is no dharma too. Seeing everything present, coming, going, in and out as it is now, is not due to the unconscious mind from the beginningless time. Not legal capital like that. Because the view of To Dong Pha is still limited in the distinction of mind, so the Dong Pha sees that the Indian Buddha has come and gone.
So ... is the rock out of mind or in mind? The argument is also out, but want to thoroughly understand, need to leave speech, break straight into new discrimination. Want to break into the distinctions, how to do? Touching the scene, the mind starts immediately, knows and then intermittently, not allowing it to continue. At some point, discrimination also stops. Also, the initiation concept does not know, then immediately follow it, then ... The meditation bed is broken, the leg is broken and the neck is broken! END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.25/5/2019.
