"What is a monk who knows the less of a man? (9) It is a monk who knows there are two classes of people: there is faith and there is no faith (10), the believer is more, the unbelievers are poor. Believers have two grades: often come to see monks and do not often come to see monks. The one who came to see the monk was more, who did not often come to see monks as poor. Ordinary people who come to meet monks have two classes: there are ceremonies and no ceremonies. The one who has the glass is more; people who are not respectful are poor. People with respect to worshiping have two classes: having a prayer and not having a prayer. The more experienced people are, the less those who do not ask them are poor. The person who asked the sutra had two grades: one to listen to the sutra and not to listen to the sutra. 

 

The one who listened to the sutra more was the one who did not conscientiously listen to the sutras. The one who listens to the sutra has two classes: listening and taking up the dharma and listening and then not observing the dharma. The listener and the holder of the dharma are more, the listener and the non-observer are poor. The listener and the law-holder, there are two classes: listening to the dharma has the meaning of observing and listening to the Dharma without contemplation. People who listen to the dharma have a better sense of meaning. The class listens to the French custom of contemplation. There are two things: knowing the dharma, knowing the meaning, towards the dharma and the dharma, depending on the dhamma, practice as the dharma (11); and the class does not know the dharma, does not know the meaning, does not aim at the dharma and the dharma, depending on the dhamma and practice as the dharma. He knows the dharma, knows the meaning, points to the dharma and the dharma, depending on the dharma, the practice of the dharma is more; who do not know the dharma, do not know the meaning, 

 

Class knows the dharma, knows the meaning, points to the dharma and the dharma, depending on the dhamma, practicing as the dharma has two classes: self-benefiting for oneself and also benefiting others, benefiting everyone, mercy love for the world, for meaning and profit, for the joy of heaven and people; and the class does not benefit itself and does not benefit the people, does not pity the world for meaning and benefit, and peace of mind for heaven and people. If anyone benefits by himself, he will also benefit the people, benefit everyone, pity the world, pray for meaning and benefit, peace and pleasure for heaven and earth. The one who is the greatest is the great, the above, the supreme, is above all, the noble, the marvelous among all others. 

 

For example, from cows with milk, from milk with peanuts, from peanuts, there are students, from students having a bowl, from a bowl with a bowl (12). Finishing is the first order, being great, being above, being supreme, being above all, being religious, is marvelous for those types. Also, if anyone benefits himself to the world, merciful to the world, needs meaning and benefits, and peace of mind and happiness for the heaven and the earth, then in the two categories of people mentioned above, he has distinguished, set, he is the best, the great, the above, the supreme, the most, the noble, the marvelous. He is a monk who knows the better of him. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.28/5/2019.
