I. INDUSTRIAL PROFESSIONAL.

Buddhism always upholds the spirit of cause and effect, we live in this life are all living in cause and effect. Our life is now inheriting the fruits of the previous life, called inheritance. The karma in Buddhism has a deep meaning. Some people often conceive, every person born has a destiny. People with rich numbers are rich, people with poor numbers are poor, people with bad numbers are bad, etc. In the Buddha's house, he does not say the fate but considers karma. If it is said to be destined, it will prevent the path of evolution, such predetermined fate cannot be transferred. Because people believe so, surrender to fate.

In contrast, Buddhism considers that our karma can be transformed. Karma is the act of human creation in the previous life or this life. The karma we create, so we can convert. If you create bad karma of bad karma, we awaken to know that it is wrong and that we will change into a good karma, that is cultivation. There is a new way to bring people to flourish, bring their own beliefs. In the spirit of Buddha's teaching, we all live in cause and effect, living with today's results is due to previous generations.

Blessedness, misery, or ignorance, all vile have a previous life, not coincidence. Because people create karma, they should not give birth to each situation. There are people who are born into a family, a parent but have a smart child, some are not smart. Someone is rich, there are some who can't do it. According to science, the parents say that children are like that, but sometimes parents are so smart that they are stupid. Or parents are not smart, but they are prodigies, so they are not genes. Therefore, if the scientific spirit is explained, it cannot be explained.

Dharma clearly sees this very simple, all due to the karma of human karma that created the previous life. As the previous life created karma of wisdom, this life saved the person who developed wisdom early. There are child prodigies, born who know what he has not yet learned. There are people who have just met for the first time who have seen feelings of sympathy, or who just met and feel hate. Do what? Due to previous karmic karma, whoever is close to me should meet each other. And the other person also had a negative karma, so the first time he did not feel sympathy. That is the spirit of Buddha's cause and effect.

Everybody's appearance, millions of people are not like anyone. In  theBuddhist scriptures, the Buddha taught the Dragon King, he said:  "Do you know in this society and in the sea, how many colors and types are different, all of them are due to the mind creating good karma or evil? body and mind that out ". Due to being previously karma difference so when born also the difference. we sit here everyone has feelings, thoughts difference together should appear looks different Although sitting in the same place but in each person 's mind, there is a separate realm, like two identical twins who still have one or two other things, because everyone' s mind is slightly different from each other in the picture. Generals also look different.

Buddha teaches every person born to live in cause and effect, live in karma. People do not control themselves, but because they are our masters. People who study Buddha, know anger is bad, but it is also difficult to meet the story. As diabetic people, knowing to eat sweet is not good but having sweet also craves. Or there are people who are addicted to alcohol and drugs that know that they are sick but cannot get rid of it. So, as an owner, I can't control it. Buddha's name is called wrongdoing.

II. TU is INDUSTRIAL TRANSFER

Tu Buddha is a karma, because Buddha teaches karma not fixed. Anything that has birth must be destroyed, kamma is impermanent. The karma that we create, we can transform it ourselves. Some people do not understand, weak and safe with karma, so why is my career so heavy. All beings can be transferred. Buddha is an example for everyone, Buddha appears in life like we are not in heaven falling. If he were to descend into heaven as a Buddha, no one would dare to follow him, thinking that the Buddha was too high to be a god and he could not be on earth. The Buddha came to this life as a human being, whose parents were born, grew up to marry and enjoy the five senses in the king's palace. Then the prince walked four doors to see the old, sick, dead scene. The image for him to awaken is the monk step by step in his life. He asked Samantha the truth to escape the scene of old age and death. Being explained by the monk, the path of liberation, he decided to go and seek the truth.

Humans have had birth, death, birth and death have its causes, if you find a human being and death, there will be a way to solve the birth and death. In the spirit of science, the results from that human. As scientists, seeing rabies dogs must find out what causes rabies. Finding a rabid dog that eradicates it will stop the disease. Buddha too, he decided to overcome the monastic search, eventually to the Bodhi meditation. After the night of forty-nine, he became enlightened into Buddha, clearly seeing the cause of birth and death are twelve conditions. That is the cause to have birth and death, if the end of the collection, then liberation of birth and death, attaining Nirvana. He achieved it, then only taught people such as Xa-profit-waving, Items-contemplation-etc ... cultivating A-la-Han, ending the root of birth and death. Thus, karma can be transferred, not fixed.

When we see the scene of an old sick person dying, think that it is often a matter of peace. Those who are born are also dead, so I die is often not thinking anything else. But with The Sun, he decided to find the cause to solve it. Therefore, He transcended his career. This shows us that He is the person He has done so we can be human like Him. In Buddha's sense of enlightenment, we can also be enlightened like Buddha.

But where is Buddha enlightened? He is enlightened from the mind. So everyone with the mind has enlightenment. We learn the history of the Buddha, if we say it to others and use the word incorrectly, we will say: The Buddha has a father named Tinh-phan, his mother is Ma-ma queen, his wife's name is Jacob, and his children are La-virtually-la. Saying so is not correct, because Buddha does not have a wife or a child. The new Prince Siddhartha had a wife who had children, lived in the royal palace and then passed the monk's house to seek religion. At the time of realization, it was called Buddha. Thus, Buddha is a fully enlightened being, from an ordinary human being then enlightened should be called Buddha. Thus, everyone can transform their karma. We should not be guilty of " I am too guilty to cultivate ." If so, what did Buddha do? Buddha was born to teach beings to cultivate, to cultivate and to repair bad things into good ones.

Just like U-turn-ma-la, is a murderer. He obeyed the teacher's instructions, taking a thousand slang arms of the chain-wearer will be taught the weak knowledge of the pagan. From there, he went to kill people to get nine hundred and ninety-nine fingers, only one finger remained. Anyone who saw him was afraid to avoid his face. At that time, the king sent soldiers to arrest him for crimes, if not for the people. The mother heard it so afraid to go and tell him, but he intended to kill his mother to get enough of a thousand hands. The Buddha used the Buddha-eye to observe that he was predestined, and did not want him to be guilty of rebellion to kill his mother. So Buddha appeared before him, so he chased Buddha. The more he chased, but the Buddha was still far away, so he shouted: " Stop talking, stop! ".

The Buddha said, " I have stopped for a long time, only you have not stopped yet. "

He asked in astonishment: " You are going, I can run away and say stop when ?".

Buddha said: " I stop here is to stop the mind greed, anger, karma, karma ... those things that he himself has not stopped ".

Right there, U-ri-ma-ma has awakening. Then the Buddha sermon, the teacher for him and he witnessed A-la-Han, freed from being born of birth and death. Thus, a fierce person can also witness, transfer karma. Like Bhikkhu and Bhikkhu ni Bhikshuni, she has beauty, she also created a lot of karma after being given by the priest-inter-degree.

The fate of this: One day, the pastor-Lien went begging for food across the garden, there was a very beautiful middle-aged woman standing there, using the words of solicitation and narrative that wanted to pester Him. The item-interfaith is the first divine being, looking over to know that this is a skilled girl who comes to fascinate me. False religion uses divine power to see the content of the content of this woman.

So he said: " It is pitiful for you, though the appearance is beautiful, the jewelry is gorgeous but the interior is full of uncleanness. Her body was impure, her soul unclean in the mud. As an old elephant is bogged down, struggling as long as it sinks . "

The woman heard so startled, emotionally, tears. Why does he know all the feelings in his heart?

She just said: "The White Religion, you know my mind well, I cannot see you. I heard his name was the first spirit, I did not believe that the spirit could overcome beauty. I knew I was a sinner and also thought of guiding good, but now too desperate for too much sin. I am an irreplaceable person, because with a frightening past I will suffer unforeseen retribution . ”

The venerable Sage-consolation consoled: " You should not make yourself so miserable, neither be disappointed, poor, no matter how severe it is if a penitent repentance can be saved. Dirty clothes can be washed clean; unclean body can use cleansing water, the mind is not pure can use the Dharma to clean. The river flowing into the sea is dirty, the big sea can clean the water in the river. The teachings of the Blessed One we are also strong enough to make the unclean heart become pure, when we know how to repent of the past pity . ”

The item of intercession has brought faith to the United States, many sins but can also be washed away if we know how to transform practice. But she said, " My past sins are so terrible, I told you that e-Religion ran away ."

The Pastor-in-law heard this and tried to comfort him:  "Please say it  ."

She said: " My name is Lien Hoa Sac, the daughter of the wealthy head of wealth in the city of Vajrayana. At the age of sixteen, my parents set up my house, but not long ago my father passed away, and the widowed mother came to live with my husband. Knowing this is too painful for me, at that time I had a daughter, I left it to my husband. After that, I re-priced with another person in the province, he was a merchant. On one occasion, when he returned from a long-distance trade in the city of Thuc-la-la, he secretly bought a private concubine somewhere. I was told by the person and was jealous, I decided to find that girl to treat a match. But when I met, I just fell back, no one was strange but my first husband's daughter .

Speaking of which she cried. Religion consoled: " You should not be too compassionate, but someone who knows the future of the future will consider it a cause and effect. It was the cause and effect that she had created before, so now it came back, not randomly. In fact, he is a tank of suffering .

Then she continued,  "With such suffering, I left home. Beginning I disgusted with the world, so bringing this body as a woman to buy fun for the world, joking around with all the men that caused their families to be broken, their wives suffered to take revenge on their lives. Therefore my sin cannot be measured, I only know how to make money to spend my sorrow on sorrow. Now I do not know how to repent? ".

The venerable Sage-Lien heard that she still had a bit of goodness and compassion, and brought the cause and effect of the Buddha to explain to her, everything has cause and effect. Such retribution. Now, if you want to convert, you have to be skilled and not like that. After listening to the pseudo-sermon, Padmasambhava awakened to follow the Venerable Master to meet Buddha. After that, she received the Buddha's degree, practiced the sacred form of the Arahant, and was also famous for her first divine powers in the nuns.

This is a lesson to awaken people to see that even if sin is so much, their awareness will not be lost. So the Buddha has the sentence " necessarily beings who exist in the Buddha nature ", all beings have Buddha nature. Many people suffer from bad karma if the awareness of austerities can transform into saints. So fate, destiny can be transferred, not arranged as many people think. The United States of sin is so much sinful, it also transforms to cultivate Arahantship. We are not as sinful as we are today but think we cannot cultivate. If we cultivate, be transformed, we will have good results.

In the Buddha Dharma there are Four Right Needs, ie four diligently diligent things. The first is that the unborn birth prevents it from being born. The second is the evil that is born and then skillful, diligent to eliminate it. The third is that the good is not born, making it arise. Fourth, good things are born that make them grow.

Then the evil that is not born, we prevent it from giving birth, and the evil that is born, we diligently practice it except for it to be clean. The unwholesome good things make it grow, the more good things develop, the less evil will be. Like farming in the garden, a lot of fruit and fruit trees are planted in the garden, and the grass is also lazy. The wild grass grows much and the snakes hide. Also, we create many good things, then the evil is less, and the more evil, the more the snakes hide more troubles and sufferings. Buddha teaches us to know how to cultivate to rise, to turn new career forward to give ourselves eternal happiness.

In  the Dhammapada  has taught:

Do it yourself, 
be infected by yourself. 
Do not do evil 
yourself , you purify yourself. 
Net, impure himself, 
Nobody purifies anyone. 

It means that I do evil, I pollute myself, I do not do evil myself, and do good things for myself. Self-righteousness, purity or impurity is our right. Buddha does not bring purity to himself, but He teaches how to purify yourself. Buddha pointed the way for us to go and call Buddha the great master. Buddha is the king of medicine, the physician for the beings to drink. If a patient has a drink, he / she will not be able to recover from illness. Pure or impure is self, Buddha brings faith to everyone, to have his own faith to progress because of karma from the mind.

The mind thinks good, people do good, the mind thinks evil, people do evil, the mind makes the field, etc. So the mind is the root of karma. If you want to change your career, you must move from your mind, you should not worry about moving outside. We are angry and buy fruit to worship Buddha, asking Buddha to let me not get angry, okay? Anger is from our hearts, we go to the temple to study Buddha remembers the Buddha's teaching: angry is that a bad person forms bad things for us, always remembering it will be less angry. If you are angry, you will be pure, you must transform yourself, not only to pray for the Buddha outside. Buddhism is very practical, we learn Buddha must experience the Buddha's teaching right in life and not wait through the next life. This is a truth, a truth right now. We practice to experience immediately this life will be less disturbing, more peaceful. We cultivate to be wise,

Thus, if you want to change karma, you must change your mind and move your mind to study the dharma. The Buddha taught the sutta: in the old days, there was a Brahmin practice following the practice of pure water, ie using water to wash away sin. Every day in the morning, he went down to the water to bathe. Buddha knew he had a good race, so he came to sympathy, asking, "Why do you practice it?" He said: "Using water to wash away sin, the creation of some sin, wash down in the afternoon, and at night, if you make a sin, then go down to bathe to wash." The Buddha immediately talks about the scene:

"Dharma is a lake, 
Gender is a bathing water, 
Not being unclean, clean, 
Praised by good people". 
That is, taking the Dharma as a lake, the precepts are the water baths, the precepts are things that Buddha forbids. The Buddhists who take care of the five precepts are the ones that are bathed in water, and when they get down to the water bath, they are not defiled, clean, bathed with Buddha Dharma, except for being impure, clean off all sins and go to the other side. The mind is always bathed with water, pure mind and body through the shore of liberation.

III. NO MISCELLANEOUS

So, to be happy, to avoid creating evil people, to be happy, to create good people and good people, that is a cause and effect. People who do not understand the religion when suffering suffer only know how to blame Buddha. On the contrary, people who understand virtue when suffering they know that this is the cause that they created their previous life, this suffering is the result of paying for it. Just like we have borrowed, now people ask for it to pay off. If people ask that they do not want to pay, they will retaliate. The more debt they accumulate, the more suffering will become. We know that the previous life has been sown now, and at the same time create good karma, then we hope to get out of debt.

Xuanzang from China to India studied the Buddhist scriptures. When he went to the University of Na-Lan-da to meet the Master of the Sage - at that time, he was over a hundred years old. When Master About Hien heard Mr. Huyen Trang pass, he was moved to tears, in which they asked why. The Buddha Sage replaced the nun, saying: "In the past, the Venerable Master had rheumatism, his pain was very miserable for twenty years. Any medicine does not go away, sometimes sadly, the Venerable Master wants to take medicine for his early death. But the Venerable Master dreamed to see three very beautiful statues, one is Bo-slapped Maitreya, one is the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, one is Bodhisattva-Van. Bo-slapped Vengeance reminds the Venerable Master: "The human body is impermanent, fragile, boring but should not destroy this body. This body is like a wooden raft for me to cross the river, and if I cross the river, I will be caught, sinking a boat and meeting a log, I also have to hug to get to the shore. Also, we must temporarily borrow this body to cultivate, should not cling to it too much, nor should it hate it, causing the body to ruin. The reason for this is because his previous life was a war king, so he killed countless lives. Causal pay, It was supposed to fall, but because of this day, he knew that he should cultivate a sickly career like stabbing arrows. It is a heavy industry with a light career, and after this career, he will be able to become enlightened. Later, there will be a monk from China who has studied the dharma, he devoted himself to teaching him that his karma will end. ” Now listening to Mr. Xuanzang pass, just like what he had seen in the dream, the Venerable Master was moved to tears..

Thus, Mr. Gioi Hien knew his karma and then endured humiliation, he tried to cultivate gradually. Buddhist learners understand that all are due to multiplication, there are conditions, nothing is natural. The Bodhidharma Bodhidharma teaches: " When a spiritual practitioner encounters suffering, he must think that since countless long lives, he has forgotten the root running after the tops, so he wanders in the realms. In which many of us have created so many contradictions, hatred and hatred. Now, although this is not committed, it is the result of many previous generations. When the fruit has matured, it will fall off, not the god or god who brings it to you. When the fruit grows, we are willing to accept, should not be resentful. Kinh said suffering is not sad, why? Because of knowing its cause " .

The group teaches, if in this life we ​​practice with misery, we must remember that we live in samsara in misery. In ten thousand times of samsara where beings always create good things, good things. Sometimes creating resentment, unjustly against people whom beings don't remember, now it comes to claim and nothing else. Therefore, we must endure to create a good karma, to turn resentment of suffering into joy and joy and hope for the end of karma.

The causal Buddha has three generations: the past, the present, the future. In this life, people do not do evil, but in the previous life, they created those evil things, now the results of the previous life are ripe, so we have to pick it up first. At the same time, we have created good things in the past, like when we plant trees, the trees that are planted early will have the first fruits. When we understand the cause and effect, we will have pure faith in the Dharma. Understand the cause and effect, then go out to see fortune telling, adversely know that this is what I created in my previous life, quickly create good things to gradually move. As well as the Buddha taught the merit of cultivating merit, he will transfer heavy karma to light industries. As Uncle Sa-di has seven more days to die, his teacher has witnessed the past of the future so he should visit him for seven days. On the way to visit his parents, Uncle Sa-di went through the stream to see the ants swarming with the water, I felt so sympathetic that I broke the dry branches and dropped them down for the ants to crawl up the bank, and then I went home. Long time visiting, parents kept him a few more meals. When he greeted his parents to the temple, it was more than ten days before the teacher was surprised that he would die, but why would the overdue time see him still safe?

The teacher asked, " Along the way I have done anything strange?" .

Mr. Sa-di replied: " Yes, no".

He asked me to remind him carefully, he suddenly remembered and said, " Ah, but on the way to visit my parents, I went through the stream to see the ants drowning in the middle of the stream, I felt so bad that I broke the branches of the dry tree for it." crawled up .

The teacher said, " It is the blessing you have created that makes your life longer. Because of saving the ants, creating good merit and transforming the karma for their children ”.

Therefore, on the cause and effect, we do not have to go to see a fortuneteller just to cultivate good merit and virtue, then we will transform our karma.

IV. SUMMARY

The karma created by ourselves, understand that so we will not blame anyone. At the same time, it is also to return the autonomy to me, I do it and I will, then I will improve my life to move forward, regain my own faith. Buddha teaches everyone has Buddha nature, that is the wisdom and not evil. Even though he is a thief, he has a good heart. The thief does not want to be a bad person, stealing is bad so he sneaks around. But knowing that but being a master and then leading away, ignorance is too much to know but it is a bad thing. In the depths of every person's heart, there is goodness, if we know how to exploit and develop, these bad things will gradually turn into good. That is cultivation. Each person has a good root to develop, Buddha is from enlightened beings to become Buddha.

King Tran Nhan Tong, when he was a monk, he was enlightened and made a verse about Cu Tran Lac Dao:

In the life of joy, please depend on the conditions, 
and when hunger comes, you will get tired and sleep. 
In the home there is treasure to search, 
The mindless mind does not ask for meditation.

In the house there is treasure, this is not gold, diamonds, diamonds, but everyone has Buddha nature. Wisdom awareness is the treasure, treasure in Buddha Dharma does not need to be searched outside but must be promoted and used, it can be used. It is to transform the karma, to turn the beings into saints. On the contrary, if the person goes on burying the treasure of suddenly making beings. We must have faith to go ahead, exploit the treasure of the house to use forever. Thus, Buddha pointed the way, gave the medicine to sentient beings. The rest is for each person to take the medicine out to drink quickly. You have to go with your own feet to get home quickly. So I hope that all of us have to practice and develop our kindness and compassion on the way to study Buddha. Alley brings benefits to himself, At the same time, it affects everyone around so that everyone can feel the practical value of Buddha Dharma. Since then people have built their beliefs, towards the light of Dharma to transform suffering into peaceful life. As such, we will make merit growth, indirectly spread the Dharma, deserve to be a Buddha disciple.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.17/6/2019.
