Cultivation is Transformation.

1. Who Sanh Is Born Also Has Lies

We are born in this world are called Buddha beings, are ordinary people. Which is known as being enlightened beings, delusion is ignorance. If there is no delusion, no ignorance is not called a being; it is because there is confusion, there is ignorance, so it is called being human beings, otherwise we are saints.

Because it is because of delusion, so it created a new career. That is, we do not know the truth, so we create karma and suffer. Professional nouns of the Buddha are called Or, Karma, Suffering. Due to delusion, create karma and suffer. As there are things that should not be done but we do, there are things worth doing that we don't do.

For example, anger is good or bad, is it advisable or not? But when I met the yard, it was because I was mistaken, so I suffered. It is also possible to do so because ignorance accepts ego, because of the ego we are willing to do. Sometimes doing things that are hurting others, doing things that are still doing, just because of our acceptability. While we don't suffer anyone who hurts us, we hurt people, but it doesn't work for us. Why?

Because we love our ego. So, verbally abusive, speak badly to others, but it is not acceptable for others to say it badly. Just as the worldly people can kill other people's lives, it is impossible for their lives to be touched. So where is the truth?

Therefore, each person should consider carefully to see the truth and transform the practice. Why is it that people who take their property are not happy, but I go to get their property back for me. We know how to do it, people are not happy but still do it, that is, the things that confuse the ego, so we do things that we should not do but still do.

One day, the Buddha and the monks went begging in the countryside. Meet the children who are catching crabs in the fields and bring them up and play for them to race with each other, whoever loses is punished. Try to think that if a child loses about 10 times, they will break all their legs and legs, when the crab cannot crawl anymore, they will trampled their feet to the field. The ones that won it also cut down to accept the other ones.

Buddha saw the game too cruel, and asked him to say,  "Hey children! Please stop, don't play games like that. For example, if you cut your leg, or broke your hand, would you hurt? "  They said,  " It hurts . " Buddha said:  "The crab too, it was the children break as, a broken leg, it hurts like you, you know?"  The children heard how it felt to know a job is not his good should silence, don't answer.

Buddha continued:  "The crab also knows how to eat and drink, it also has its parents and siblings as children. But you torment the crab like that, then you will also torment its parents and siblings. Just like when your children are sick, your parents, or your siblings, also have to worry and suffer. If the crab can't break its leg, it means it won't be able to eat, it will be even more miserable. Well, don't play foolishly like that. ” The children who heard it here expressed regret.

The Buddha reminds me to do so as suffering for the crab, so we must also remember that we are too. Sometimes I have my legs cut off, or do I get a lot of scratches in my skin, so do I break them, break the crab without hurting?

Sometimes when I get sick, my parents and siblings worry more; The crab is like that, his parents and siblings also have anxiety for him but he can't help it, thinking like that, I will have openness.

At that time strange strangers stopped to watch a great deal, taking the opportunity that the Buddha taught more, that is, to teach these children and to teach adults.

The new Buddha said:  "Hey children! We all want to live peacefully and happily, so are the animals that are like it, they also want to live peacefully and happily. So we have to make all species live peacefully and happily, that is fair. We must protect each other's life, and bring joy to each other ” . And He said this sentence is a sentence that we must study carefully, remember carefully not to forget:  "If we cannot bring happiness to others, we should also try to avoid causing more suffering . " Buddha added:  "All animals, big or small, whether walking on two feet, or swimming in the water, have the right to live peacefully and happily. We should not kill each other's hatred, we should help and protect each other ” .

Why do you think the Buddha taught that? Because sentient beings are miserable, they often do not live up to the truth. When suffering for people, for animals, we are happy, ready to do, assuming others do it for themselves, then we will not bear it. Those who have learned Buddha must reconsider, to avoid not creating a suffering human being, and seeing the result must live in suffering without realizing their delusion. It means making mistakes, but I don't realize it, sometimes I am right, so keep doing it.

It was the Buddha who was born to remind beings of delusions to transform. At the same time the Buddha, too, when the Buddha wanted Mr. Uu-long-frequency-speaker Ca-lettuce to worship the god of fire, the new Buddha asked him to stay overnight, he said that there was not enough place to worship here The fire spirit snake is very toxic and dangerous, everyone who enters it dies.

This Ca-lettuce saw Buddha shape the page of serious virtue very sympathetic to think: Let Him in that morning to die is a little sorry so hesitant. Buddha said it was okay to let him in there. In the morning he brought some disciples to see whether the monk was yesterday or not! To see Buddha normally has nothing. The Buddha also opened the bowl to show him that the Buddha had subdued the snake snake. He thought in astonishment: "This monk is very powerful, to the gods but also able to recover. However, it is not equal to me, because we have obtained Arahantship. ”

Because of loving the Buddha, he invited Buddha so he invited Buddha to stay for a while and provide real offerings. Buddha found a suitable place to stay. The first night, early in the morning, Heavenly Heavenly Heaven came to visit Buddha. Towards the end of the night, there is Heaven God-like to visit, the aura radiates all over. Mr. Ca-lout saw it so amazingly, so just in the morning, he went to ask Buddha: "The night before, why do you have bright light like a burning house?". Buddha said that there was Heaven and Heavenly King and God-like God came to visit Tathagata, so bright aura.

He was amazed, thinking that this great monk of merit was too great, that to Heaven and the Earth King, Heaven-like god came to visit but also thought: "Yet it is not equal to me, because I have witnessed Arhat. -help ".

It was very close to the ceremony of worshiping the fire god, he thought: "Tomorrow is a great holiday where many followers gather to celebrate; if this great monk comes over, the believer who sees his mighty spirit must only offer him but neglect me. So how do we stop this monk from coming tomorrow? " Because of forgiveness, the Buddha knew his thoughts, so the next morning Buddha used divine powers to the Northern Land of Luzhou. Then Buddha went back to lunch in A-nua Island on the Himalayas, until late in the afternoon to where Mr. Ca-lettuce was.

The next day, he asked Buddha where he went yesterday? The Buddha said that because he did not want him to come, he went begging for food in the North of Luzhou. Hearing that, he was startled to think: "I think in my heart that Buddha also knows", but then just thought: "However, it is not equal to me yet, because we have witnessed Arahantship." In the writings, the Buddha was here for about two months, using up to three thousand and five hundred times the spirit to equip him, but he also fervently thought that Buddha was not equal to him.

In the end, the Buddha told him directly:  "Hey master teacher! He's not Arhat where, moreover he also unknown method of religious practice to stock Arhat, why just accept him as Arhat. "  He was startled awake, kneeling down Bach Buddha asked for refuge, so that Buddha only taught the way of cultivating Arahantship.

Buddha took him and took refuge in both of his brothers. Then the Buddha led the three people with one thousand disciples to Mount Tuong Head near Bodh Gaya, now still traces. Buddha sutra talks about fire. After listening to the sutras, they all witnessed A-la-Han.

Only to see his confusion. Not true is A-la-Han, not really a saint but thought he was A-la-Han, just accept living with that delusion. To see clearly beings often live in that delusion. To see clearly beings often live in delusion and are covered by it. So, we should not be presumptuous, we must know where our weaknesses are and how to correct them. More wrong, sometimes even show my love of bigotry for people to see.

During the Buddha's time there was a story about a Pham. He also learned a lot of books and knew quite a lot, so it was assumed that no one had the wisdom in him in this world. He took thin copper leaves and tied them to his abdomen, and everywhere he could reason more than he would make him a teacher. Someone asked why he had to take the copper belly like that? He said my intellect was too full without being afraid that it would spill out. It was there that the wise person knew was a lack of wisdom but he did not know. When he met the Buddha, he was awakened. To tell the world, there are many people who are confused and think that they are intellectually and not subject to delusion.

Buddha taught clearly in the Dhammapada:  "A fool who thinks is mind is really stupid; and the fool who knows that he is stupid is a wise person. ” That is, the fool who does not know he is stupid, thinks he is a wise person, Buddha says so is a foolish person; I was stupid, but I knew I was stupid, it was a wise person. Ie that I love delusion but I am delusional and have a mind, but delusion is thought that the mind is not able to transfer the delusion. Those are the points to remind all to understand clearly to have a way to rise.

2. The Insight is Being Made as a Advantage

As a human being has a different understanding than other species, thanks to that advantage, people can advance. So, we have to use the mind to know the right application and then go forward. It is only through knowledge that we realize the mistake, when we know wrong, we can fix it. It is through knowing that sin is a blessing that we give up to transform, so that there is no bigotry, also an evolutionary path. The Buddha and the Patriarch also come from beings that become Buddhas and Patriarchs, but not far away. Knowing that, we will find a way to cultivate.

Therefore, there is a story in the meditation house: Master Zen and Venerable Minh, two brothers on the way to the Huai River. When they arrived at the riverbank, the two met a man pulling a net, and a fish from the net jumped out. The new Zen master, only then said to Venerable Minh:  "Good! Just like a tank load is no different ”.

Venerable Ming said:  "But how, where by now beginning not on the grid, or more."  Zen Master Tham said:  "Huynh Minh, he has not yet discovered."  Venerable Ming has not got that time. The two brothers went back to their places of residence, and in the middle of the night, Venerable Minh awakened to the words of the Zen master.

Zen master Seeing the fish from the net leap out, complimenting it well is like a rising meditation. Venerable Minh said that is not very good, however, it would be better if not in the beginning. Why must we go into the net and jump out? Thus, both laborious and costly. Zen master Shen new parents say that he is not awake. That is to say, it sounds good but there are omissions.

Because meditators are serious in reality, not reasoning. You should understand carefully, it is important that in fact, the fish that have already entered the net, how to jump out to escape? It is good to escape from the net.

If you just sit there reasoning, don't get in better or why you have to go in to jump out now! Sitting and arguing for a lifetime is still in the net, important in the net, it is important that the net jumps out. Just like us, is sitting here in the net or in the net? This grid is the negativity grid, confusion and birth net. Most of them are in this net, but anyone who jumps out is good, good. If you sit here, why do you have to go to this net, do not get better in the past; coming here to suffer and then practice very hard. Although lifelong reasoning is also in the net, it is important that even in this net, skillfully seeking spiritual means to jump out is the most practical.

As the current study leader is also learning how to jump out of the mud of the world; leap out of the net of negativity, if the person who leaps out is gentle. To see that, although we are mistaken, but we know that we are confused, so that we can transform to rise and rise, it is a good way for us to evolve.

As the story of Venerable Minh came to meet the monk Duc Thieu, Venerable Minh asked: "The Ca-lettuce brought the six-year-old monk  of Sakyamuni to the mountain of Ke Tuc to wait for the Maitreya to give birth to bring the y-yang to wear. the body of thousands of pieces of the Maitreya still fits. The body of the six-year-old Shakyamuni Buddha and the Maitreya's body are a thousand feet tall, so the body shortens or the y it is long? ”This  Ma-ha Ca-lettuce is different from the three siblings of the Ca-lettuce worship fire. Now the venerable Ma-ha Ca-lettuce still carries the Buddha Shakyamuni's medicine in the mountain of Ke Tuc to enter, waiting for the Maitreya Buddha to come to life, he will offer that medicine to Maitreya Buddha.

Here, Venerable Minh asked if Shakyamuni Buddha had a staff of six (about two more) and the Maitreya Buddha was a thousand feet tall. Thus, this medicine knows how to extend it to cover the body of that size; Or the body of thousands of Buddha Maitreya shortened to fit just the y?

National monk Duc Thieu replied:  "You reunite".  He did not explain but said it above. Venerable Minh heard that, and did not accept to brush off his shirt.

National monk Duc Thieu rebuked:  "The baby! If the Son increases if he answers him, then he will have a cause and effect, and if he does not, then he will see it clearly ”.

Venerable Minh returned several days later to be vowed. Venerable Phu Quang advised:  "Come on! You should hurry to repent with the Master . ” Venerable Minh came to the sad staff and cried,  "May the Venerable Master compassionate for you to repent . " National monk Duc Thieu said:  "Like a person who falls to the ground, in a place where the earth stands up. I have never taught him that there is a fall or a stand .

Thus, the Venerable Minh had a part in his understanding, while he did not understand, but he meant it as contempt, so the teacher said it was wrong. Do not accept the teacher but did not expect because of his place has not arrived so then the cause and effect.

When I returned, the following week was bloody, it was the cause and effect, the new friend advised to repent. When repenting, the new Master of the Buddha said as if he fell to the ground, he stood up in that land, but I did not make him fall or stand.

That is, because of delusion, it is wrong to make a crime. If you want to give yourself all the sins, then whoever makes you all is also me. That is, from the place where my mind is mistaken, then I create sin. So if you want to run away from sin, then you must change your sin from the place of enlightenment, but not anyone else outside. Understand that then we have to be smart to move our mind, which is important.

Therefore, in the post-repentance of the three karma in the Zen monastery that used to be recited, there are excerpts in the sutra that are  "Crime of capital which is not created by the mind, if the mind dies, then the sins are clear. Crime in mind to kill both, it is the penitence of repentance " . Such repentance is the ultimate repentance.

That is the  crime of sin which is not created by the mind, if the mind is destroyed, then the sin is always clean,  so thoroughly contemplating that penance is repentance. This says that sin is inherently emptiness, that is, it is not available in itself, but due to the delusional mind that accepts to create sin, it is created by the mind. But the mind is not real hope, if the mind is broken, then the sin will be clean. If you don't have the mind to create a crime, then the crime is not. The mind is out of guilt so it is true that the sins of repentance.

Such penance is called repentance to the root, so repentance is no longer a trace of birth. We know how to repent, but not uprooting the original? For example, pulling out the original grass, which has rained, it grows back. Or the thief also steals is bad and goes to Buddha's repentance, but if he repents without the mind of stealing, he will also steal it when he encounters. That is the mind of stealing, when the situation is also stolen. It is the mind of stealing yet, only repenting outside, so when it comes to stealing, it is also stolen again. And the smart man except for the mind of theft, even if he encounters the grace of people, he will go and steal, he will no longer steal the mind and call it repentance.

Understand, we know sin from the heart of birth, if we turn to sin, we have to move from the center of our mind, then that's what I believe without doubt. If the mind does not move, ask anyone to transfer it to you, no one can transfer it. For example, if people have a mind of stealing, even if they come to the temple to ask the teacher to chant the sutra, then it will be soft, but the mind is not yet deducted, and when it comes to love, it will be stolen again.

So we need determination, that is, to resolve and not accept to fall for the sin forever. That is the path of practice, returning to fix your mind, it is important. As a result, we have faith to cultivate, not to feel guilty forever. That is the path of advancement. When you thoroughly understand that and then practice, go back and fix your mind, it is important. As a result, we have faith to cultivate, not guilt. Knowing I was guilty because I was confused and then moved, not guilty.

As the story of the Lotus Flower was venerated Section-Kien-Lien, sensitizing to the Buddha and cultivating Arahantship. Ms. Li Hua is a very deep woman, so when she met him, the Pastor-Lien, she wanted to use her beauty to destroy him. But unexpectedly he was touched, he said:  "Looking at her appearance is very beautiful, dress is beautiful, but her mind is sinking deep in the mud. And she looked like an elephant being bogged down, the more she struggled, the more it subsided. ”

When she heard that, she was startled, her mindful things were known to him, saying:  "I think it is possible to use divine beauty to overcome Him, but He knows all in my heart, I also no secret. I am really a deep guilt of all methods. "

The venerable Section-Kien-Lien consoled:  "You should not hurt yourself, nor be disappointed. Poor career no matter how heavy, but just one phen repentance can be saved; like dirty clothes can be washed; unclean body can use water to remove; If the mind is not pure, then it is possible to use the Buddha-dharma to cleanse. ”  The Section-Kien-Lien consoled her so that she should not be disappointed, even if she was guilty, but if she knew repentance, it would turn like dirty clothes use clean water. He added:  "Hundreds of rivers were dripping into the sea and all the seawater cleaned up hundreds of rivers . " Ie like dirty river water when flowing into the sea, it is clean because immense sea water dissolves and dissolves.

Saying,  "The Buddha's teaching is enough to purify the unclean heart of the unclean, can repent of the past karma."  He said the Buddha's teachings were enough to transform people's hearts, if anyone knew. believe and then practice the repentance practice. Again, do not feel guilty that you are out of rescue. He consoled her to have the faith of transforming, and finally, she heard the new words according to the Pastor of the Inter-Order to meet Buddha. Buddha sermon and for renunciation practice, after she witnessed A-la-Han and became the first nuns of the spirit.

Show the guilty but the mind knows repentance is also transformed, not the end of the rescue. But because it can be cultivated, it is possible to transfer, so the Buddha has just become a cultivator of transforming spiritual beings. If not transformed, Buddha was born! Because knowing beings can cultivate, it is possible to transform forward so Buddha was born to teach the truths for beings to practice. If the skill knows how to properly practice the application, then it can be raised, it is called the evolutionary path for yourself; and especially people with knowledge should have a transformation. Understand, we know how to appreciate our good conditions.

As the story of Sa-di Hien Tri is only seven years old but the result of Arahantship. He was born in a wealthy family and was ordained with the Xa-profit-waving Buddha. When he was ordained, the family went to the monastery to offer seven consecutive days. To the eighth day, the venerable Xa-profit-waving led him to beg, Sarah di Sage saw the dredge drains into the field, the new ask,  "What do they do that?"  He Xa-profit-waving answered:  "Ditch dredge to lead water into the field." Hien Tri Sa-di thought:  "Water is an inanimate object without understanding, but people can guide to use in their own way in a way that benefits, and I am a person with a mind of knowing and understanding, then why can't I guide my mind to follow the path to Arahantship? ” .

Mr. Sa-di is only seven years old and thinks like that. I think the water is an inanimate object that one knows nothing but one can lead it according to its own will. But I am a man of understanding, why I do not guide my mind to the right way to Arahant.

After a while, I saw the name skipper bending the names straight, he also asked the teacher. My uncle says people bend wood into a tree to shoot. Sa-di Hien Tri thought:  "Those names are also unreasonable senseless things that people can shape and make it straight at their will; but they themselves are human rational understanding, then why can not contort your mind to it straight right to go to the streets Nirvana. "  Note novice think the tree name bamboos are senseless things that people can shape it according to their own will. And I am a rational person who understands why I cannot rectify my mind to go straight to the path of Nirvana.

Then another section saw a man who was making wooden wheels for wheels, in the past people made wooden wheels, not rubber and iron, as they are now. Then I also asked the teacher, he said it was people were making wooden wheels for wheels to use for transportation. Then I also thought:  "Wood is an inanimate object, but one can also make it to make a wheel to use according to his own will, and I am a person with an understanding of why not possible. To trim the evil things that lie in the mind so that the mind becomes a genuine benefit on the path of liberation. ”  It is Sa-di whose thoughts are very righteous and wise.

So, when we study, we find that the world does not dare to despise anyone. Do not think that the new adults are smart and despise little children, a seven-year-old Sa-di who thinks better than an adult, cannot know the kind of race that people have practiced.

Thinking about it, this new Hien Tri Sa-di would ask the teacher to let him go back without going to beg for alms. He was determined to go to meditation to come up with this problem, to thoroughly understand the path to liberation of Nirvana. Mr. Xa-profit-waving to see that also to return, also put the key to sit in the furniture and not sit outside afraid of snakes. And on that day, seven-year-old uncle Sa-di witnessed the result of Arhat.

It is a great example to attack all of us. A uncle Sa-di who knows such sharp thoughts, it is also due to the determination and determination to rise up. And we are much bigger than Sa-di, so much more intelligent, why don't we have clear statements to rise up. That is what wants to remind us to ponder.

We are intellectual, knowledgeable people, so we must have a wise judgment to rise up.

Buddha cultivated many Bodhisattva lives but eventually to become a Buddha, he also had to show up in the body to practice. So people have many good points, such as being born as a person, there is suffering, happiness, badness, good enough for us to know the discrimination. In the tribulation that the Buddha taught is that giving birth to heaven and long life is so happy, it is also an accident. That is, being born to heaven is happy to live a long time but not to see the Buddha to listen to the practice, it also becomes a problem. As for green in the North of Luzhou area, so was the birth, it was too happy to want anything, so there was no way to cultivate. And here we have suffering with joy, joy and long-suffering, sadness and awakening, wishing to go to practice. As rich people keep worrying about doing business and have a time to cultivate, sometimes they touch the new suffering so they have misery and happiness.

3. Always Remember All Useless Uses

Buddha taught all compounded vi are impermanent birth and destruction are not sustainable, so then in the world, something that has an altered artifact is impermanent. We need to master this truth so that when there are many great things open to us.

As our mind creating sin has impermanence? Buddha taught all compounded vi are impermanent, does the mind create his sins out of impermanence? The mind that creates this sin is also compounded, so it is impermanent, so we have enough faith to practice it. That is the truth, also a great privilege for misguided sinners like us. That is, we are not out of hope, because the mind of sin is also impermanent, sin is impermanent and karma is impermanent.

There is a story about a farmer who is impatient. He came and told Zen Master Ban Khue that he was born with a tempered temper, unable to control it. Can you ask the Zen master if there is any way to help you treat it?

Zen Master Ban Khue said:  "You were born with such an interesting thing, are you impatient right now? If so, please bring it here and show it to me, then I will cure it. ”  He said,  “ The white teacher does not have itright now , but when it happens, it jumps out. ”  That is right now. If he doesn't have it, he can't bring it out, but when he does, he jumps out. Zen Master Ban Khue said:  "So your temper is not innate, it is not available.". Because if it is an innate thing that is his nature then it is available in him, which is available at all times. And this is not what is available, only when there is a new encounter, that is, having a new affair is not what is available. So that is not true. It's not true, you have a cure.

That is, it does not have an entity and is clearly not his character, but it follows a condition that has a new affair, when there is no affinity. Thus, it is impossible for that impulse to be the availability in him that the temper can also transform, so we know how to convert it and have faith to progress.

There are many who mistakenly say that my temper is hot, don't touch me, it's a mistake. Remember carefully, the heat is not the nature because if it is the nature, it can be brought out at any time. For example, if you have gold available in your home, it is always possible to bring it out whenever you have a conversation, so it is not an available nature. It is a causal law, so it is not an existing nature. It is the law of causation, which is impermanent. As impermanent, it can convert. Thus, the nature of the impulse is impermanent, to be destructive, not to accept it, that is the path of our progress.

As the story of To Dong Pha a vineyard, he also learned meditation and understood the morality quite well. He often goes back to the Buddhist monk Buddha to discuss morality.

That day did not know how he was inspired by the meditation, but happily did the verse:

Natural disasters prime central Khe 
aura natural length 
Bat style estate of active 
Doan is an inter metallic element.

The enemy:

Bowing to the Buddha's Exalted ceremony 
Three thousand 
radiant winds The wind blows 
straight Sitting on the lotus.

Finished, he sent the family through the river to present to the Indian Buddha. His house is at the Kim Son Pagoda where the Indian Buddha lives in a river. After seeing the Buddha, he immediately went to the side of the poem with the words "Phat fate" and said in the Northern language "Beat fart". Then he took it and gave it to him.

When he got a reply, he cheerfully opened it to see the two words "play with shit" when he was angry, thinking: "I should have complimented why not so badly!" He hurriedly asked his family to prepare boat to cross the river to meet the Buddha India asked, why he despised him so.

The Buddha said that he should stand on the riverbank waiting. The boat has just landed, he landed face furious, asked him Buddha India:  "I am the teacher has long been friends, today the practice I was inspired to write poetry the teacher do you blame me too so?"  He Buddha He asked,  "What is wrong?"  He handed out the paper, saying:  "You criticize my poem like this .   "

The Indian Buddha laughed and said:  "Ah! It turned out that To Dong Phase 8 wind did not move, but only one 'play the shit' immediately blew from the other side of the river to the side of the river! "

After listening, he awoke and was ashamed to apologize. Right there, he was out of anger, repenting to the Indian Buddha.

Through the story, how do you judge? New angry, but when listening to the Buddha, the illusory sight of the Buddha fell into anger. In order to see that anger is not true, if it is true, it is still nostalgic, it must be angry all the time, follow me for life.

Understandably, we should not hold on to it, and it is the light of Dharma that enlightens beings so that we can see the truths. It is anger, there are sadness, etc., we are so careful, we will reduce our attachment and we will have a way to move forward.

So, whoever says that my bad nature has no hope of being transformed is a mistake, justifying my bad. On the contrary, it is possible to convert, if there is determination. From the mind of delusion we create evil, now also from the mind of awareness we transform to rise.

Buddha taught all compounded vi is the law of impermanence, then its nature is destroyed. So, the nature of our bad habits, our sins are also destructive, we can cultivate to transform. That is the way beyond the net.

4. Summary

We are from the ignorance of ignorance, so we are born in this world, except for the Bodhisattvas of birth. So whoever is here also carries delusion, thus creating sin or more or less. But deluding sin is also impermanent, not fixed. Keeping in mind that, we have a way to go up.

Buddha teaches in the products of the Lion Lion, the Mahaparinirvana Sutra is that there are two classes of people in this world:  "One is the class of people with indeterminate karma that makes the decisive result: The present-life retribution makes the karmic retribution, light retribution made heavy, it should have been reported in human life, but it was reported in hell . ”

Meaning is the class of people who bring an indefinite result, that is, the light of the result should only be reported in the present life, but all but not knowing how to cultivate is heavy; When it becomes heavy, the karmic retribution may last after death or life in hell.

The second class is:  "People with karma make indefinite karma." It should be that the next life, but making the current life report, the heavy newspaper makes the newspaper light, it should be that the hell life report will make the light of life in mankind. These two ranks are fools, one is wise people. That is, the second class of people can make their careers turn into indefinite karma. Then there are even karmas that have karmic retribution that should be born later or into hell, but turn into light life. The wise make heavy retribution into light, and the fool makes the result worse.

That is the Buddha's teaching about two classes of people, a class of people who know how to transform karma into indeterminate karma; Heavy retribution turned light. It should have been the result of the life or the inferno but cleverly transforming it into the present life, so it was light and over, it was gently free, calling it a wise person.

And the foolish fool doesn't know how to make it worse. For example, if you say something that offends your brother, it is a small affair. If at that time, apologize wholeheartedly, the other person will also let go, then it doesn't matter! If you miss the words that make people sad but also make your face irritate, people will be more angry. Sometimes cursing back and forth and bringing to scuffle with each other cause unjustly life after this, into a light retribution that made it heavy. And the smart man knows how to transfer it.

Skilled people who know how to practice have great benefits for themselves and those around them. Don't think that we practice is only our own benefit, but all of us live here are interrelated lives. As if a family member is unhappy, are other family members happy? Or go on a car with two people arguing, but also feel heavy air, which means human life is connected.

Knowing it, we should have a better way of living, and know that there is more contact. Learners of Buddhism know how to practice is to follow the dharma to transform, not to insist on keeping their enchanting mistakes. That is the path of progress, which is the direction to go up. As the Buddha taught all beings have Buddha nature. That is, everyone has a clear sense of enlightenment, which is called our goodness and good nature, so everyone has a good source, why don't we develop that good source to transform the enchanted being This mistake!

Therefore, each person should try to identify carefully and believe in the practice of transforming, every day will become better and better. Always remember, this sin of defilement is not your root, it must be clear that the root is the Buddha's wisdom. Because we are passionate about creating karma, which is the hope that gives birth, so Buddha says this is not the root but it is the hope, the birth and death, its nature is destroyed; while the original is Buddha's wisdom, then that is the true truth that lasts long.

We are willing to make a strong determination to transform the delusions of sin, and to live back to the true sense of wisdom in us, that is the path of the wise that the Buddha taught. We should not insist on remembering the old faults, because that mistake is also impermanent. For example, that person had a bad mistake in the past but spent twenty years when they had modified it; But we keep remembering their mistakes from the old days, when we meet him like that, etc., but unexpectedly, he has become a good person, has been transformed and has missed people for a long time. same as ever! So, in the Mahayana Sutra, Buddha taught:

Resentment of bronze body is not measured, 
Nor does it remember the evil old people who do.

That is, we must always live with the new and not live with the old. Ancient people make mistakes for themselves, I am also willing to give up without persistence, always remember that people can transform advanced. Thus, we always live gently and openly, seeing optimistic life, cultivating is fun but not miserable! No pessimism! That is a good direction for practitioners.

In short, we cultivate is transforming, not standing in one place, not embracing the old mistake. So I hope that all listen, understand and clearly identify this truth to always live and transform in the light of the Dharma of Tathagata, deserving to be the disciples of Buddha, every day is changing more and more, until consummate the path of enlightenment. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.20/6/2019.
