In the Amitayus Sutta, the sixth product Phat Great Oath, is the 48 famous prayers of Amitabha Buddha. The prayers in the five long sutras are not the same: there are two translations of the Wu and Han dynasties: 24 prayers; there are two translations of the Tang and Wei dynasties: 48 prayers; there is another Song of the 36 dynasties. These items are more or less dissimilar, but the content inside is largely the same. Sometimes the second vow, the third vow, becomes one; sometimes one vow to split into two, three vows. Old layman Ha Lien Cu this scripture assembly can speak very hard. This passage was written by him and layman Mai Quang Huy and their teacher, a total of three people, which took three months to complete.

From this we can see, they pay special attention to this passage, because this is a very important refuge of the Pure Land, which is the center, the essence of the whole sutra, and cannot be underestimated. OK. The assembly, mostly divided into 24 paragraphs, took 24 paragraphs as a letter and took 48 items, the mantra in front of each prayer is 48 prayer. This is the 24 along with 48 vows to all preserve, making the real face of these five types of translations, right here all can show, assembly work is very good, really very useful mind. 

Prayer 1: There is no evil in the country. 

Prayer 2: Do not fall in three evil ways.

Yin: Dharma Tripitaka: "Vow of the Blessed One, pronoun from hearing. Self-depreciation attained Supreme Bodhi Bodhisattva, into Chief Justice of course. Department of Buddha's residence, sufficiency of immeasurable, invaluable, solemn merit. Inferno hell, hungry ghosts, animals, raise funds, dynamic genus. Possessing all sentient beings, Diem-ma-la is bounded by the three evil signs of the central path, hybrid birth and death, and the legalized life span, all into A-nậu-multi-la Tam-miêu Tam Bodhi. Subjugation of the demons of the beast, attained prayer, spread the Buddha's work. Unsatisfied prayer, immortal Supreme Master Right Understanding. "

Meaning: Dharma Bodhisattva says: Venerable Buddha, bow to the Blessed One mercifully listen to: "If I can see Supreme Bodhi Bodhi, already in the Samyaksambuddha, the Buddha realm is full of merit. dignified inconceivable, no hell, hungry ghosts, animals of all kinds. If there are sentient beings in the three evil paths to the hells born to my realm, the life of my teachings, all attain A-nậu-la-la-tam-tam T Bodhi, do not fall back to the other three evil paths. That is why I became a Buddha. If not as vow, swear not become Supreme Master Justice. " 

Lecture:

In fact, at this time the Bhikkhu-stilts Dharma has become Buddha already, is the Buddha Amitabha. He was in front of his teacher, saying, "Please respectfully be respectful." This is a respectful request for mercy to observe, to hear his vow, if there is anything wrong, please teach. This is the idea.

"If I can prove that Supreme Bodhi is Bodhisattva, the Buddha realm is full of immeasurable dignity and immeasurable merit," he said. This paragraph is the doctrine, the content of the 48 prayer covers here. Supreme Bodhi Bodhisattva is the Chief Justice of Samyutta. Thanh Chanh Giac is the fullness of becoming Buddha. "The realm of Buddha in" is the world of Bliss. In the world of Ultimate Bliss, certain aspirations are sufficient, immeasurable solemn merits cannot be imagined, this is the aspiration of Amitabha Buddha. His realm is bound to surpass the Buddhas' realm, because all the Buddhas have defects, but the realms of Amitabha are not. The solemn merit here is countless, the most solemn kind of virtue is the ten concepts born of Bliss, no longer converted into Buddha.

Prayer number one: the realm has no evil ways. All the realms of the Buddhas have evil paths, especially in the Western world of Great Bliss there are no three evil paths, "no hells, hungry ghosts, animals of all kinds". Normally, the bad karma is not over, the good karma is ripe, then we are born in three good ways, as we are in the good realm, but the blessed will still be lost. So say these three lines of goodness are not final, fullness. One thing to be wary of is that many people while enjoying bliss create evil karma, then the faster and worse the misery. This is all the truth can not help but raise awareness.

Those in the world are enjoying the blessing, who knows in the blessing is hidden immeasurable disaster. People without merit, poverty, want to create evil karma nor create. In other words, this life we ​​are subject to retribution, it is not easy to create very heavy karma; In other words, the next life will not be lost. Those who enjoy blessing are not like that, because today the standard of living has been raised. Like me, when I was little in the countryside, most people ate simple vegetables and very little meat. Only the first and fifteenth day can buy meat; New Year holidays have a good meal, the day is simple to eat. In other words, there is little chance to kill, create karma. As for the rich, every day eat fish, poultry ..., then how can this unjust count! These people we see are very admiring, But later when the retribution appeared, then they are not equal, inferior to us. Should know, cause and effect three generations, the truth of these things we can not help but know.

Karma of hell due to the creation of the cross, the evil spirit should feel. Peta is the middle product of evil, the animal is the lower level of evil. In some sutras, the Buddha said that due to greed, hatred and delusion, the way of feeling the three ways is evil, hungry ghosts and animals; hatred for hell, greed for hungry ghosts, stupid for animal birth. Greed, hatred and delusion are the three defilements, forming these three paths.

The Western world does not have three evil paths, or in other words, there are no people creating evil karma, there is no defilement, hatred and delusion. Because not create bad cause should not bear bad results. Those who died in that world, elaborately reciting Buddha's name and overcoming it will overcome the greed and anger, though not quite yet, but they can overcome. We have this power ourselves. When it came to the Western world, thanks to the help of Buddha, it immediately disappeared, thus being single-minded. This benefit is too vast. When studying other disciplines, wanting to eliminate this defilement depends entirely on yourself. For the Pure Land method, we only need to surrender, counteract half, and half, Buddha can help us. So, this practice is called the release method, this benefit we have is very large.

"If there are sentient beings in the three evil paths, coming from hell born to my realm, taking the precepts half". This is the second of 48 prayers, prayers do not fall into evil ways. All sentient beings, show them the six pathways. (Yama is the king of Yama, we call the fifth power of the Lord Yama. The fifth king of Yama is also called Equity King. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Vow has an introduction, it is clear that he rules hell). The three evil paths are hell, hungry ghosts, and animals. Beings here, bad karma, very heavy qi practice, but they can hear this method that single-mindedly recite Amitabha Buddha, the Pure Land, can also be reborn.

So, this method only needs three conditions: believe that there is Amitabha Buddha, believe that there is a Western world of Bliss, and that Buddhist recitation is bound to be reborn by Amitabha Buddha. Trust must be true. Believing without doubt will be vowed. If you really want to go to Bliss, everything here has to be abandoned. Just want to go but here does not let go, it is not really want to go. If you really want to go, you will definitely let go, let go of all the body and mind of the world, no longer attached to your heart, will definitely be led by Amitabha Buddha. We here develop the mind, Buddha Amitabha immediately know, when predestined ripen or when life is over, the Buddha comes to lead. Born of Pure Land, received the teachings of Buddha, received his teachings. The Dharma is the method of educating, bringing the negative karma to transform qi into immeasurable merits

Arriving in the West of Great Bliss, receiving the teachings of Amitabha Buddha, definitely becoming a Buddha, saving your life in the process of cultivation, deciding not to fall into evil ways, even in past lives There are also evil episodes. If not in the world of Ultimate Bliss, the practice will have progress, if we have just withdraw, we will probably enter three evil paths. These cases are many. This is to say that the ten directions of spiritual practice are flawed, there are recessions. In the Western world, there is no regression, without regression, absolutely will not fall into evil. We have created very poor pity, if born peacefully realms. This prayer of Buddha Amitabha is a guarantee, ensuring that all sentient beings will no longer fall into evil ways.

"That was why I became a Buddha. If not as vow, swear not become Supreme Master Justice. " He said, this my vow to be fully displayed, I immediately became a Buddha. If my vow cannot be fully manifested, cannot be fulfilled, I swear I won't become Buddha. So, Amitabha Buddha now in the Western world has been ten lifetimes, what he vows to display, everything can be done, every sentence, every word is true, not false. Thus, because this can see the aspirations of Amitabha Buddha, the aspiration of Amitabha Buddha is the hope that all sentient beings will soon become Buddhas.

This prayer of the Buddha Amitabha surpasses the Buddhas. Moreover, He has fulfilled this aspiration already. The main problem here is whether sentient beings believe or not, will you take the vow to rebirth in your Land of Great Bliss? It is not that Amitabha Buddha does not have the power to bring us to his realm, whether we will go or not. What if you refuse That is we have obstacles. You want to ask what are the obstacles? Not making vows is the obstacle. Vows and obstacles no longer exist. Whoever recites the Buddha's name, that person will die. This disciplines are equal disciplines. No matter of creating evil or doing good deeds are okay, as long as you change your mind, sincerely recite Buddha's name, pray for rebirth, each person will be reborn. This is true merit rare, inconceivable. 

Prayer 3: The body is pure gold.

Prayer 4: There are thirty-two good generals. 

Prayer 5: The body is not different. 

Yin: The Buddha's cross, the cross of the world, possessing sentient beings, sentient beings falling down, the dead and dead, iron and steel. Three decades of racial diversity, caduceus general; Presentable purity, all homogeneous types. Disadvantages of appearance, difference, perfect appearance, immoral Right Understanding. 

Meaning: When I became Buddha, the sentient beings of the ten directions of the world were born in my realm, their bodies were pure yellow, they were thirty-two good generals, all generals were macho-men, serious and righteous deeds, all had the same face. . If there is good or bad, the shape is different, swear not to become enlightened. 

Lecture:

In this paragraph there are three vows. The first prayer: "When I become Buddha, sentient beings in the ten directions of the world are born in my realms, their bodies are pure yellow." Here, we must pay special attention. He said all sentient beings in the ten directions of the world, there is no choice discrimination, so of course we have it. He did not say that the sentient beings on the globe in the Ta-ba world were the exception, nor did the Tibetan Buddhist world of Bhikkhu-na-na be the exception. So all the realms of the Buddhas are also in His prayer. Bodhisattva Manjushri, Bodhisattva Samantabhadra was also reborn. Therefore, every word of his vow, we need to see clearly to see the prayer, we need to contemplate it clearly to see this truly great prayer.

Born to the Western world of Ultimate Bliss, the body is equal, all are death-colored bodies, which means pure gold. The word "ghost" refers to pure gold, with no impurities in it. Look back at our present body, very fragile and soft, when the wind becomes sky, it becomes ill. People in the West are not like that, because they have a physical body, their physical bodies are real gold. 

"Enough thirty-two generals general man": Heavenly people in the realm of all that good generals. So, being born in the world of Ultimate Bliss, our appearance is like Buddha of Amitabha. 

According to the Tipitaka, thirty-two good generals are: 

The foot is flat, the soles of the feet are not recessed. 
Under the foot, there are thousands of spokes wheels. 
Long slender fingers. 
Soft limbs.
Limbs have a net. 
Heel full. 
The back of the feet is high and round. 
Thighs like thighs Princess Nai thighs. 
Hands too long. 
Yin code. 
Wide body. 
Pores are green. 
Nice body hair. 
The body is yellow. 
The body has light, shines away from a staff. 
Smooth soft skin. 
The soles of the feet, the palms, the shoulders and the top of the head, are flat and plump. 
Two full armpits. 
Stout body like a lion. 
Righteous, upright body. 
Shoulders full. 
Buddha has 40 teeth. 
White teeth, close, equal. 
Four clean white fangs. 
The cheekbones are round and round like a lion's.
The saliva in the throat tastes the sweetest. 
Long tongue. 
The sound is pure and sounds very far away. 
Blue eyes. 
Eyelashes like buffalo god. 
Between the eyebrows there is General White Trench. 
On top of that there is humiliation (high up in the shape of a bun). 

Venerable Vong Tay said, "Because of that vow, sentient beings have died all generals, without cultivation." 

Question: After the flower bloom or before the full bloom of the generals? 

Answer: Do not wait until the flowers bloom, everyone born to the realms immediately.

The third vow: "To be honest, clean, all have the same face". This needs to be kept in mind. People in the Western World of Great Bliss, there are no two types of appearances. Let's look at our current ashram, where everyone sits together but their physiognomy is different. People of the Western world have more, the appearance is the same, absolutely no two generals. Then this will be troublesome! General appearance is the same, when identifying a person maybe not wrong? Every physique is like Buddha. Who is the Buddha Amitabha, who is the Bodhisattva Guan Yin? We when we die, do we not realize it? This can be completely reassuring.

Born to the Western world of Ultimate Bliss, we all have a passion for information. The past, the present, the future of each person are clear, fully understood, absolutely cannot be mistaken. The meaning contained herein is very profound. The previous paragraph had said, where did his 48 prayers come from? All due to seeing so many realms of the Buddhas, right in there dedicating their hearts to choosing that into. People of the ten directions of the world, appearances are not good, generals are arrogant; Generals are not good, rough is inferiority complex, these are both disturbing things. In the Western world, all appearances are the same, with no arrogance, no inferiority complex. Amitabha Buddha is so wise. He used this method to eradicate all your existing defilements. The wonderful way of manifesting in this world is the Dharmakaya world. So,

The people of the Western world look like "righteousness and dignity," making people happy and respectful. This general appearance compared with all the realms of the Buddhas is nowhere near equal. Therefore, the student of Amitabha Buddha does not comment on how to go to the world, (this is very normal every day) to go to the ten directions of the world to make offerings to Buddhas, to convert sentient beings ..., receive special respect from the people there.

In this world, there are many people who admire the Bodhisattva Maitreya, prefer the future of birth to the Noi-Where-rate, the Pure Land of the Bodhisattva Maitreya. Because of his future birth as a Buddha, everyone will follow him down into the world to educate sentient beings, as well as Xa-profit-waving, Maudgalyayana, who is a disciple of Shakyamuni and Shakyamuni Buddha. ca thi manifestation of sentient beings. They have this vow, is this vow good? Very good, very worthy of praise. However, it is not easy to want to rebirth in the inner-city temple. Why so? Criteria for admission of the Bodhisattva Maitreya are very high. I thought back, to go to that hospital, my standards were not enough, there was no way to get there. As for Amitabha Buddha, his selection criteria are very low, so to speak extremely low, I can grasp for sure. If in the world of Ultimate Bliss, want to return to the world of Ta-ba or want to go to the Interior of the productivity-very easy. In the Sutta, ten thousand memories of the Buddha realm in one instant go back. To meet the Bodhisattva Maitreya, Bodhisattva has just seen the student of Buddha Amitabha particularly appreciates and welcomes, much better than being his student. Just like an abacus, we must know how to fight, we must know how to calculate. Once born on the Ultimate Bliss, we can also go to the Interior-Power-Home, also can be close to Bodhisattva Maitreya. Compared to his students, we receive even more special entertainment. If then we come to hear the Bodhisattva Maitreya preaching, the special front seats will be for us, the student of Maitreya will sit behind. So, this is all the truth can not be ignored, is an easy path to the Bodhisattva Maitreya. ten thousand memories of Buddha's realm in an instant came back. To

Prayer 6: There is enough network communication. 

Prayer 7: Heavenly eye communication. 

Prayer 8: There is natural atrium. 

Yin: Buddha's time fall, possessing sentient beings, giving birth to false nationals, countless self-knowledge, lifetimes supporting life, and creating good and evil effects. The ability of urbanism, suppression, knowledge of the future, the present details. Unsatisfied market prayer, Prime Minister Chief Awareness. 

Meaning: When I became a Buddha, sentient beings came to my realm, knowing countless previous lives (admonition), seeing clearly the good and evil deeds (heavenly eye), hearing the things from the ten directions. past, future, present (natural atrium). If not as vow, swear not to become enlightened. 

Lecture:

In this paragraph also includes three vows, talking about sufficiency network, natural eyes, natural ear. Secular people often call this magical power. "Information" is communication, not afraid; "God" is miraculous. The power of people in the West of Great Bliss is unique, today we call it supernormal abilities. This way of calling is very reasonable, this function is superior to ordinary people. So where does magical power come from? There must be ethics and morality. If we are reborn in the Land of Bliss, it is like this, this is called the moral virtue, not the virtue. This German newspaper due to the duty of Buddha Amitabha help. If born to that place without the power, the Buddha Amitabha did not become a Buddha, so just born there, this power has enough. So how big is this magical power? It surpasses the Arahantship. A-la-Han's ability to adhere to the world and to understand the mind can only be known within 500 lifetimes, more than 500 lives before, it is impossible to know, so 500 lives later do not know. The know also has scope, but this range is not large. Heavenly eyes of the Bodhisattva depend on the status of that Bodhisattva. The natural capacity of the Bodhisattva is wider than Arahantship, but it is only possible to see one great heavenly world, one thousand great heavenly ones. Only the Tathagata's eyes can see all the nothingness of the dharma realm, including all the realms of the Buddhas, nowhere else.

So people born to the world of Ultimate Bliss, their magical power as well as Amitabha Buddha, this benefit is too great. Practicing other disciplines must reach the Bodhisattva Bat-level, the new capacity is similar to Buddha, but it must be practiced up to three A-rising-states. And we have recited Buddha's name only for a few years, reborn in the Western world of Bliss, the instant energy that is similar to that of the Eight Earth, Nine Land, and 10 Bodhisattvas. These Bodhisattvas when seeing us would be hard to believe, but this is the truth. Once understood, it is impossible not to fail. You are so lucky! Great! Tu just a few days to achieve, they have cultivated three A-rising period, hard to achieve such. Why are we able to achieve it in an instant? Moreover, what we gain is even more victorious, superior to them, how can they not betray us! This, secular people often say, Some people are lucky, some people are unlucky. Bodhisattva is not lucky, we are very lucky, in an instant met this Dharma recitation, instant success. Therefore, this vow we have to be very meticulous and observe.

"Sentient beings to my country". This is an equal measure, absolutely no choice. The person who is born in the Tibetan world is of course a Bodhisattva, that position is very high. We are ordinary, how can we be compared? All sentient beings consist of the ten dharmas, all of which are included. "Knowing countless previous lives", unlike the Arahants who only know how to live in 500 lives, and those born to the Western world of Great Bliss know how to survive in countless lifetimes. So, just born to the West, even if it is the same with birth rebellion, because in His prayer there is no saying that lower dignity is the exception, nor does it say that the upper student has this magical power. So in other words, lower birth products also have this capacity, this is the legal equality.

Currently, there are many people who want to know their previous life. They go looking for people who have spirituality, some of them use hypnosis to know the previous life, or just know only one life, two lives, until the third life they don't know. Born to the Western world of Bliss, past life from countless lifetimes till now, you all know, must find these troubles. Much more in today's society, the deception is very much. Those hunches told their previous life partners that it was not really true, perhaps they had deceived themselves without even knowing it. When I come to the Western world, I can know all things myself, forever and ever, good and bad deeds that I have done, I know all well, know where in the past reincarnation, I have passed over what world, etc. .., my family members, I remember them all, I know them all.

See clearly as the natural eye is like Buddha. This place he said there is no limit. Ten directions of the realms, infinite world, you will see it thoroughly, thoroughly. We are pitiful. As at the bottom of the 4th floor, there are a lot of people listening to the sutras, we cannot see, if we are from the world of Bliss, we immediately understand and see it thoroughly. We are sitting here, on this planet, on the other side of the United States, what people are doing, we cannot see. In the Western world, all the realms of the Buddhas are in front of us, sometimes in our hearts to be concerned, to be attached to our loved ones, the ones we like, recite not to forget, hope to help. they. We have the will to help but we have no energy. You should know, coming to this world of Bliss immediately has this power, our relatives, no matter where they were born, we saw them, they said anything we could hear, their situation was known thoroughly, every hour and every minute to be able to show up. they. Therefore, having true wisdom, having ability, our wish can be considered as true, fully realized. If you are not reborn, our wishes are in vain, you will not have that power.

The ear is clearly heard. All of the sentient beings of the ten directions of the world, they can hear everything you hear clearly, even if the words are very small, you can hear them thoroughly, it is a great miracle. As in the story Journey to the West, Sun Wukong compared to them is far inferior. Sun Wukong has only 72 magical powers, when the scale is still over 10,000,000 miles, it must be used countless times to reach the destination. People in the Pure Land are not like that, just a thought that has come to where they want to go, Sun Wukong's power cannot be compared.

In the West, there is such a miraculous power, so a great help in spiritual practice. Why does the worldly person have greed and hatred? Why from enchanting karma? In fact, it is due to the delusion of cause and effect, from which these new energies arise, that a new career is created. If the truth of this truth can be comprehended, then how can they produce disturbing emotions, how can one be fascinated, how can create karma! So, Amitabha Buddha in the Western world of Great Bliss has real educational structures, creating great effects. Our defilement of temperament comes from beginningless kalpa, just comes to Bliss and is resolved. Why so? Things in the past, present, future, in the ten directions of three lifetimes, knowing for themselves, all see thoroughly, here (compared to the Tathagata Buddhas elsewhere) reduce the time to teach sutras speak french a lot.

"If not as vow, swear not to become enlightened." Buddha Amitabha has already become Buddha, proving that this vow has been fulfilled. In the world, there are some who say they have magical power. You can tell them, this is nothing terrible, you should see me in a few years, how can you compare, really like that. We know this truth, so hard to recite Buddha's name for a few years of rebirth, it is the miraculous power of the Tathagata fruit, not the Bodhisattva can be compared. Those in the Ultimate Bliss world all have these powers, the magical powers, the virtues are full. Absolutely not in the other Mahayana sutras, or in meditation, using practices that can be like them. As said, the German newspaper is Amitabha Buddha used thousands of years of age to study the fullness of accomplishment for 5 lifetimes, using this power to help us. The reason is extremely profound, the magic is incomparable, the extraordinary ethics is immeasurable, absolutely not without theories to rely on. They have relational reasoning, we see that it is simply a myth. Therefore, this method is an unbelievable method, the reason is too deep. Even the Bodhisattva Enlightenment, if not receiving the help of the Buddhas Tathagata could not understand clearly, so can believe is not easy.

In the sutras, if you can believe it is due to the good merit of countless lifetimes in the past. If it is not the old roots of countless lifetimes, today, even if you meet it, you will think that the novel to watch, watch for a long time you can not believe it. So, this method is not ordinary, unbelievable. I have said it many times, it is very normal. If they just heard the news, immediately received, this is very unusual, this is all true. So, this magical power of them surpassed all Bodhisattva, and Thanh Van, Pratyeka need not be said. 

Prayer 9: There is forgiving mind.

Yin: Buddha's self-departure, possessing beings, giving birth to false nationalities, gaining privileged and understanding minds. If any tri-mind, na-do-tha spread the Buddha's heavenly beings, sentient beings fake mindfulness, immoral Chief Justice Awareness. 

Meaning: When I become a Buddha, if there are sentient beings to the realms of my world, I will be spared the mind of wisdom, knowing that the mind of sentient beings is far away from the hundred thousand and ten thousand memories of the Buddha realm. If not so, swear not to become enlightened. 

Lecture:

"When I become Buddha, if there are sentient beings". Where is equality, no choice, are nine legal world sentient beings are all equal. "Born into my realm, all are free to the mind." What is the spirit of understanding? "Tha" is another person. In the minds of others that arise, they all know. So, you should be careful, don't assume that thought arises in your mind no one knows. People of the ultimate bliss world know; the most extraordinary, the most dynamic, all our work they see; you whisper to others they can also hear. The people of the Ultimate Bliss world are many, many, counting, they all know it. This is the truth. This is something to think about, to be our own future talents. Currently, people in the Land of Ultimate Bliss are full of this divine power.

So, the mind of the people reciting Buddha's name must be pure, to be clear of righteousness, not to do a little bit of work, not to others. It is okay for others to fault us, we cannot fault them; others can deceive us, we cannot deceive. Why? What they create is samsara karma, today what we do is we want to give birth to the West. Everything we do must conform to the standards of the Ultimate Bliss world. The standard of that world is 48 prayers, which is the Amitayus Sutra. What the Supreme Master Ching Hai has said, we must do, in order to be able to die in the West, so we can increase our dignity.

"Knowing the mind of sentient beings far away from the hundred thousand and ten thousand memories of the Buddha realm." You see this vow very clearly. The na-do-tha is the infinite boundless realms of the Buddhas, including all sentient beings. In their hearts they want something, think what, people in the world of Ultimate Bliss all know. This power is very authentic, surpassing the Shravaka, Pratyekabuddha, the right of Bodhisattva, up to 41 dharmakaya dharma teachers in the Huayan Assembly, so many cannot compare with them. To be honest, this power is from the Bodhisattva Bat-region upwards can match, from Bat-land down are not comparable. So, their mental supernatural powers are superhuman, honest, reaching the best. Because of this fact, all the Buddhas cannot help praising the Buddha Amitabha, cannot help but to submit to the Buddha Amitabha, nor could he not bring his students to introduce Buddha Amitabha. So, the Buddhas nowadays, all sentient beings are so easy, they all recommend them to the Western world of Great Bliss, to give them to Amitabha Buddha. Currently, all Tathagata Buddhas in the ten directions of the world are recruiting Amitabha Buddha. What if they don't listen? Teaching them about the Hinayana, but as they heard, they told to go to the world of Bliss, immediately became a Buddha.

From this truth, we have come to understand that Bodhisattvas or people in the Western world of Great Bliss have such power, the capacity to know oneself. They have enough information to know themselves, have the ability to understand themselves, communicate themselves from countless lifetimes until now. This is a tri, know someone is a soulmate. Knowing people who know themselves, educating sentient beings, can easily save sentient beings. Therefore, every day they come to the ten directions of the Buddhas' offerings, listening to the dharma, depending on the destiny of saving sentient beings. They have such power, and we are born to the world of Ultimate Bliss, how long will it take for this power? This place does not say in the sutta, which means that you have just been born to have this power. Seeing Amitabha Buddha already, this power seems to be restored. In fact, it has not been recovered yet, but thanks to the help of Buddha, until we cultivate ourselves in the Western world. The process of practicing there is very fast, very fast, definitely not regressing, because not only do we receive a teaching of Amitabha Buddha, but every day we go to learn all the Buddhas throughout ten directions. Think about how many dharma you hear each day? How many Buddhas speak dharma to you? Therefore, it is natural for you to study at the Pure Land quickly. Until you truly attain this status, truly witnessing the Ten, yourself, Amitabha Buddha will still help you, making your magical power of wisdom compared to the Bodhisattva Decade. each other, so this is the smart choice. The Western world is no match for enemies. Why do we not want to die? because not only do we receive the teachings of Amitabha Buddha, but we also go to study all the Buddhas of the ten directions every day. Think about how many dharma you hear each day? How many Buddhas speak dharma to you? Therefore, it is natural for you to study at the Pure Land quickly. Until you truly attain this status, truly witnessing the Ten, yourself, Amitabha Buddha will still help you, making your magical power of wisdom compared to the Bodhisattva Decade. each other, so this is the smart choice. The Western world is no match for enemies. Why do we not want to die? because not only do we receive the teachings of Amitabha Buddha, but we also go to study all the Buddhas of the ten directions every day. Think about how many dharma you hear each day? How many Buddhas speak dharma to you? Therefore, it is natural for you to study at the Pure Land quickly. Until you truly attain this status, truly witnessing the Ten, yourself, Amitabha Buddha will still help you, making your magical power of wisdom compared to the Bodhisattva Decade. each other, so this is the smart choice. The Western world is no match for enemies. Why do we not want to die? It is natural for you to study and practice at Bliss. Until you truly attain this status, truly witnessing the Ten, yourself, Amitabha Buddha will still help you, making your magical power of wisdom compared to the Bodhisattva Decade. each other, so this is the smart choice. The Western world is no match for enemies. Why do we not want to die? It is natural for you to study and practice at Bliss. Until you truly attain this status, truly witnessing the Ten, yourself, Amitabha Buddha will still help you, making your magical power of wisdom compared to the Bodhisattva Decade. each other, so this is the smart choice. The Western world is no match for enemies. Why do we not want to die?

Mr. Li had previously said that if one refuses to be born in the world of Bliss; This person, if not a fool, is a freak, or in other words, unusual. Ordinary people who believe and also want to go to the world of Bliss! 



Prayer 10: Being spiritually informed. 

Prayer 11: All offerings to the Buddhas. 

Yin: Self-created Buddha, possessing sentient beings, giving birth to false nationals, attaining enlightenment and liberty, Brahmin. Most favored concept moments, super power, too na-do-tha Thien Buddha spread the spread, European calendar week, making offerings to the fake Buddha, any Prime Minister. 

Meaning: When I become Buddha, if there are sentient beings to my realm, I will be able to miraculate myself in Ba-la-secret-to-be (god-sufficient spirit). In an instant if you don't go around hundreds of thousands of thousands of Buddha realms to make offerings, swear not to become enlightened.

Lecture:

This prayer talks about some special functions. As the previous paragraph has said, people of the Western world are fully sufficiency of communication, natural eyes, natural atria, tha mind information. This is the supernatural power of liberation. This place is magical. "Tuc" is fullness. This vow is to transform liberation. To the shore of Nirvana enlightenment requires the wisdom of Buddha. In order to gain this wisdom, we need to serve a lot of Buddhas to be able to achieve. If you do not have magical powers, it is difficult to do. Therefore, for spiritual practitioners, spiritual power is extremely important. The world is immeasurable, the Buddhas are also boundless, if we inherit the offerings of each Buddha, each of them in order, then countless lifetimes also do not know. Therefore, it is necessary to have the clone bravery, at the same time can divide hundreds of thousands of emanations, at the same time going to make endless offerings to the Buddhas of Tathagata like that can be done! The masses of the Western world really have this power.

So, when we are born to Pure Land, a disturbing product has not been broken yet, how can we have this magical power. This power is not meant to be acquired, to be diligent in spiritual practice. Normally, spiritual practitioners achieve natural eye-contact, natural atrium is not difficult; reaching sufficiency network communication, the mind is relatively difficult, until achieving the transformation in (god sufficiency) is even more difficult. Therefore, Hinayana does not have sufficient spiritual powers, must be A-la-Han to have. Fruition or fruition still do not have this ability. Preliminary results have natural eyes. Therefore, in order to attain the supernormal power, the meticulousness must be very deep. So when we come to the West, this power seems to be almost equal to the Bodhisattva of the Cross. This is completely dependent on the Buddha's duty to help us.

The book of Assembly explains that the word "deity" (also called as the idea of ​​sufficiency) has three types: 

1 - Transporting body: flying in the air like a bird. 

2 - Win the prize: the most remote place, only the immediate idea will come. 

3 - The idea of ​​communication: the furthest place, the mind has just thought, the body was there.

He said, when he became a Buddha (now he has become Buddha, more than 10 lives) "if there are sentient beings to my realm". We have to analyze this verse thoroughly, saying that sentient beings return to his realms, so sentient beings are naturally all-encompassing. Lowering the rebirth, Phàm Thánh Đồng Residential included. Of course we do. Born to that realm are miraculous in Ba-la-secret-majority, is the self-liberating supernatural as explained above, is the god of natural change. "Ba-la-secret-multi", this sentence is Sanskrit, meaning is fullness, is self-sufficient magical power at fullness. If strictly speaking, Buddha will have this power. This Buddha's power is truly fullness. Although Bodhisattva has but still not enough. These are all helped by the majesty of Buddha Amitabha, which is inconceivable. Next is an example that clearly states this full round capacity, an inconceivable fact, it is the boundless offering of the Buddhas of Tathagata. What is this offering? As I said earlier, I definitely use the power of the clone to transform simultaneously to make offerings.

"In about a moment" arrived, the speed was so fast, it was inconceivable. How long does one recite? In Buddhist scriptures, time is the snapping of one's nails very strong, very brave. A nail snatch from a man of ill health is slow, so a man of good health has a strong ability to pull fast. One nail flipping is very short time, there are 60 minutes; An instant has 900 times of reciting. Can see this concept is very small, very short time. This place means that the time is very short, in the heart of reciting, we have arrived.

The world of Bliss is far from this Ta-ba world of ten thousand memories of Buddha. However, a thought immediately came. In fact, this distance is very short, not long. In the Sutra Pitaka says Ta-she and the Bliss are both in the sea of ​​the Tibetan world. The Tibetan world has 20 floors, Ta-she and the Pure Bliss are all on the 13th floor, we can see that it is not too far. Like the sea of ​​the United States, Buddha said that such a large world right in this state of infinite space, so this distance is not known how far, but the distance is far away and just a single instant. What does this mean? Practically speaking, boundless realms of water are not outside the mind, are things that manifest from the true nature of the mind, so this mind has just arisen already. So today we do not have the power to clone, we have recitation but not to pharmacy. People in the Western world of Great Bliss have this courage, they just recited, I went to where they wanted to go. This is the clone, the reincarnation.

"In about a concept, if not go around hundred thousand thousand thousand Buddha realms." This is to say that having this power is within a mere thought. As in the Great Sutta said: "Ten directions will not leave this realm, three generations will not leave a concept." These genuine benefits, in the Mahayana sutras, say. Then go to the ten realms Buddha realms to do? Sequential offerings throughout the Buddhas. This is to say that the Bodhisattvas have gone through many Buddha realms. Thus, the offerings, the Buddhas are also numerous. You go to worship Buddha, Buddha is bound to speak the dharma to you. One day, a Buddha told you a sentence of dharma. In one day, you offered countless Buddhas to hear countless dharma. Our Tripitaka does not know how many thousands of times, thousands of times, etc., is also to say that people in that place progress very quickly.

Prayer 12: Deciding to become Right Understanding. 

Yin: The Buddha's self, possessing beings, giving birth to false nationals, dissociating distinctions, presidents of tranquility. Consecurity decisive, into the Chief Justice, Enlightenment, Nirvana. 

Meaning: When I become Buddha, if there are sentient beings to my country, far from my discriminating mind, the pure roots. If they do not decide to become the Chief Justice, Venerable Nirvana, swear not to become the Chief Justice. 

Lecture:

This vow of Amitabha Buddha as well as a confirmation, a guarantee, a certificate of becoming a Buddha for living beings to Western Bliss. This prayer is very important, including all sentient beings and us in it. People born to the world of Bliss are "far from the mind of discrimination", this is within the precepts. "The apartment is quiet", because this can be known in the Western world, about the favored members, one is three, three is one. If you say one is bound to include the other two types in it, so that fully religious, fully realized. Offering all the Buddhas, having the wisdom of the Buddha, so the practice is complete.

All things are inherently silent, our present emotions are not silent. However, in fact it is always quiet, if not silent, why do the Tathagata Buddhas see this general, and we do not? So because this may know, this obstacle is not in the outer realm, we ourselves create obstacles, we ourselves have problems. What is the problem? Because the mind is in turmoil. This medium has just moved, all measures are opposites, there is birth and death, there comes and goes, there must be left. Just when the mind has just started arising, these phenomena arise. These phenomena are inherently absent. In the treatise Run Tin said: "The inherent sense, not inherent capital". In the past, there was no so-called unconscious thought, so there is ignorance, ignorance is a dynamic form, because the action should not be pure, completely contrary to the inherent virtue. In the realm of True One, also known as the realm of real things, there is no nothing, no discrimination, no attachments. If using words to speak, it is the grounds quietly, far from delusion discrimination. The person who learns Buddhism to practice in countless lifetimes is to bring the mistake, this qi practice to change, restore so that the bases are pure.

Quietly to the relative level, then suddenly enlightened, immediately see the nature. Tanh then became Buddha. So, the vow to say "if you do not decide to become a Samyaksambuddha, a great witness to Nirvana", this is the ultimate witness of Buddha, we call it Buddha. Thien Thai Tong teachings say there are four types of Buddha: Tibetan, Thong, Distinct and Vien. Here, means witnessing the result of the end of Teacher. Then rebirth in the Western world of Ultimate Bliss, even in a certain life, becomes a Buddha. This is the inconceivable aspiration of Buddha Amitabha. This method, the ancient people called Buddha Dharma right in life into Buddha. In addition to this method, practicing any method will not be possible in one life to be achieved but many lives for many lives, going through the three great A-raises, until countless lifetimes.

Someone questioned: So we die and then come to the world of Bliss to attain Buddhahood. This statement is wrong and you are all wrong. If death is done, failure can still be achieved stars! Dead then reincarnation. This place is honest, if it's dead then very tragic, could not be saved. Practicing this discipline is the method not to die. Normally, when one dies, one doesn't die, Buddha Amitabha comes to lead us to the world of Ultimate Bliss. Therefore, you must know, rebirth is to live in the West, not to die and go.

When we die, seeing the Buddha continue to follow him. This body does not need to leave anymore. Therefore, you live and go, not die. This you have to understand clearly. This true method is the method not to die. This rotten meat is not a good thing to leave. Normally we have no way to dispose. When Buddha came, relying on Buddha to help him can let this body let go and go with Buddha. Therefore, people with great merit cannot help but cultivate. Blessings are very important. Normally I encourage fellow practitioners to have three blessings, six dharmas, to practice the six degrees, these are all blessed. We cultivate merit but should not enjoy all the blessing, blessing and retention, keep it. What is the last moment? That is the moment of rebirth. Those who are genuinely blessed don't get sick, know the time and date to leave, Buddha to continue to lead, sit rebirth is also, stand still rebirth, how free at that! That is called having a good deed, a lifetime good fortune will always be kept until that time. This is so free, so free in rebirth.

In the past, just when I was ordained, our Venerable Master, Dharma Master Dao Nguyen, told us about a koan, the Buddha called the koan, who often called it miracle, but that truth, not a lie. Previously, there was a monk, at the time of rebirth, he asked everyone, did you see through the person who died there? Someone said see. He said there are still people reborn, why? Everyone said they heard it. As a result, he dumped his head on the ground, feet straight up and asked: have you heard of this rebirth? They said they haven't heard. Right there he died. This is so blessed, that is the traveling of the world. So, to say we must be reborn must be free. Being paralyzed in bed and leaving is too inferior already, that is saying no blessing. So this is very important, very essential.

For those who are not blessed, when they die, they die. We should always help support their thoughts. When he was about to leave, his appearance changed very well, his chin was still moving, but there was no sound. People reciting Buddha's name, we think that they are with us reciting Buddha's name. In fact it is not so, actually they say they are seeing Buddha coming, they want to talk to everyone, say goodbye to everyone but not speaking out, their physical strength is not enough to say words, it is still live and die with Buddha, cannot say death. So clearly speaking, this method is a method that does not die. You see we are alive and still alive, born to the world of Ultimate Bliss to become a Buddha, without having to go through the second life, definitely become Supreme Master Ching Hai. This is the mind and duty of Amitabha Buddha.

The above vows clearly state that the birth to the world of Bliss is reported to be miraculously true, not only the full force of the divine powers of wisdom, moreover, the Buddha Amitabha also guarantees us a life into a fullness Buddha. So, when you read these prayers, how can you not want to die? There is no reason not to want to go back to the West. 

Of the 48 prayers, Great Master Thien Dao called five prayers (prayer 12: Determination of Right Enlightenment; vow 13: Light immeasurable; vow 15: Longevity of infinite life; vow 17: Buddhas praise; vow 18: Ten thoughts rebirth) are all sincere vows. He considers this the heart of the 48 vows. Thus, this vow is the very essence of the great vow.

The Buddha's nostalgic version only expects all sentient beings to become Buddhas. In order to fulfill this vow, he again had the great vow to conquer the "ten rebirths". Beings only follow this practice. It is the simplest, the most complete shortcut, extremely fast. Reciting Buddha's name was reborn, deciding to become Buddha. 

Prayer 13: Light is immeasurable. 

Prayer 14: Touching clarity is peaceful. 

Yin: Buddha's time fell, luminous clarity, universal cross, great victory over the Buddhas, victory over the moon, moon and moon. Weak beings, ants clear light, miraculous projection projection body, desert uncertainty, from the mind of goodwill, cross nationality. Any real fake, immoral Chief Justice Awareness.

Meaning: When I became a Buddha, there was infinite light shining all over the ten directions of the Buddhas, thousands of thousands of times the light of the moon. If there are sentient beings who see or touch my light, they will be at peace, start from the heart, do good things, and return to my country after birth. If that is not the case, swear not to become enlightened. 

Lecture:

This is the vow of immeasurable light. Many laws have said that usually the light of the Buddhas of great power reaches one and two hundred thousand worlds. The light of Buddha Amitabha is immeasurable. Why is his light immeasurable? We are in the realm of Amitabha Buddha and he sees and he receives the teachings of the teacher of thousands of years. Because of his teacher, he introduced the world to nothingness, including all the realms of the Buddhas, he saw. Can you imagine this predestined relationship? All the realms of the Buddhas, he has not missed any place, has been visiting, visiting and studying through. Therefore, he became a Buddha and his light spread throughout, not hundreds and thousands of Buddha worlds, but countless boundless realms of Buddhas, all of them radiated. This predestined past, today has such retribution.

Absolutely more hostile than the Buddhas. "Great" is absolute, "winning" is super-winning, all the light of the Buddhas is not comparable to Amitabha Buddha, so Shakyamuni Buddha praised with Amitabha Buddha. - that is the precious light. This is a vow to rejoice. "Beyond the light of the moon." The present light of this world is the light of the sun and the moon, but this light cannot be compared to the light of Buddha. Perhaps, some people want to ask, Buddha's light is more than the sun, the moon, so why don't we see? The light of Buddha shines through, we cannot see because our eyesight has been hindered.

Science has proven today, found in the universe there are many things of light, the rays are not the same. In that infinite amount of light, that ray of light, our flesh eyes can only see a small segment, longer than this small segment we do not see, shorter than this segment nor visible. However, thanks to scientific machines, we can see, such as X-rays, ultraviolet rays ... these rays are not visible to our eyes but in fact they exist. Current science can see many different light rays.

The light of Buddha Amitabha is everywhere, because our eyesight is problematic so we cannot see it. Where did this problem come from? The root cause of this problem is the attachment of delusion that Buddha said. If it is possible to bring delusions attachment to leave, restore the mind pure, then the capacity of natural eyes, natural atria, tha mind ... immediately recovered. These are all instincts available, then we will see the light of Amitabha Buddha, during the day without the light of the sun, at night nor the light of the lamp. Why? Because this world is an array of light. In the Mahayana sutras, it is often said that the "vast treasure of light" is the same for our world.

If you do not believe, you can take a look at the old Pho Pho of the Venerable Hu Van. There is a section of the koan recorded in the Nien Pho. One afternoon, on the way back to the Venerable, the road was relatively far away. In the middle of the road, he met two acquaintances, the same monks, holding lanterns. When he met the Venerable, they said, "It is so dark and do you still see the way?" When they finished speaking, in front of the Venerable Master, there was a dark shadow, and at that moment the Venerable saw that the sky was bright, because at that time He did not have a discriminatory mind, from the beginning to the end, he did not recite, the realm was always always keep like that. When someone just mentioned it was dark, he immediately began to distinguish, so it was dark. If the Venerable Master can keep it that way, he won't initiate discrimination, then it will still be bright on the second day. This is the true truth without a bit of a lie.

"If there are sentient beings who see or touch my light, they will be at peace, starting from the mind of doing good, then returning to my country. If that is not the case, swear not to become enlightened. ” Beings that see the light of Buddha, or the celestial eyes of the Bodhisattva, Arahant are able to see, or those who are intending to see. People practice the right dharma, people are determined; people who recite Buddha's name attained One-pointedness, One-pointedness of mind, then in samadhi also see. There is also a special kind of predestined relationship that is visible.

Seeing the light of Buddha, the poor immediately stopped. The ability to eliminate crime is very large, but the three afflictions, though not able to, will also turn off completely and will not trigger the action. If the karma is light, the light of the Buddha has just protected the defilement of attachment for sorrow, and suffering is no more. Suffering is destroyed so instant peace. Mild disturbance, intellectual growth, this person will definitely generate a mind of compassion, decided not to do evil, will definitely do good. This mind made of good deeds is emanating from nature, not recommended by others, nor by one's own reluctance to do it, just naturally. Every day, there is nothing better than this. That is to bring a great compassion to help all sentient beings to break into enlightenment, to leave suffering and be happy. In particular, it is to help people to be aware of the Pure Land.



Prayer 15: Longevity immeasurably. 

Prayer 16: Thanh thanh countless. 

Yin: Buddha's time fell, life immeasurable. China China Van, countless natural, life herons immeasurable herons. False spirit three heavenly natural world of beings, All of Pratyekabuddha, heavenly publicity, all wonderful international community; disadvantages of the number of false tri, immoral Chief Giac. 

Meaning: When I became Buddha, lived immeasurably long. Countless Qing Qing and heaven trog people also have countless life expectancy. If sentient beings in the three thousand worlds of the Pratyekabuddha experience hundreds of thousands of lives to count, if they know that number, they swear they will not become enlightened. 

Lecture:

"When I became Buddha, I lived immeasurably long." This vow is the infinite light of life, this vow is immeasurable life. Actually, the Buddha Amitabha, all are immeasurable. However, he was in the conference of the Buddha at the Buddhist monk. For sentient beings, the Buddha Shakyamuni said the Amitabha Sutta. He introduces us and also specifically points out the infinite amount of light and the infinite feeling of life. In all the immeasurable, the two feelings are the most complete meaning. The clear light symbolizes light shining through the ten directions, nowadays calling space; still life typical for the past and present, the future, also known as time, or called space. In the time that did not include everything, there was nothing beyond it, so immeasurable light and innocence were representatives of space and time. Here, All are immeasurable. Amitabha Buddha are all complete, nothing defect. But, in all immeasurable, longevity (longevity) is the most important, so life is the first of all immeasurable, immeasurable relatives ... that life does not have, then who This life, is not all empty? We have immeasurable life, so all other countless things can be enjoyed, new not so empty, so life is extremely important. Therefore, Amitabha Buddha in the Western world manifests itself as a Buddha with infinite lifespan, so called Buddha Amitayus. The basis of Bliss is precisely in this prayer. but life does not have, then who uses this life, is not all okay? We have immeasurable life, so all other countless things can be enjoyed, new not so empty, so life is extremely important. Therefore, Amitabha Buddha in the Western world manifests itself as a Buddha with infinite lifespan, so called Buddha Amitayus. The basis of Bliss is precisely in this prayer. but life does not have, then who uses this life, is not all okay? We have immeasurable life, so all other countless things can be enjoyed, new not so empty, so life is extremely important. Therefore, Amitabha Buddha in the Western world manifests itself as a Buddha with infinite lifespan, so called Buddha Amitayus. The basis of Bliss is precisely in this prayer.

Born to the world of Ultimate Bliss is countless ages, there is Amitayus Buddha. So what if we die there? The next paragraph says, "countless Chinese writers and humans also have countless lives in the country." Those who are born in the West, live the same life as Amitabha Buddha. In general, everyone born to this world is A-only-Vietnamese-position Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva Real recession). This place says Thanh Van, God. Why is there a Thanh Van, who is that? We are born to the West of Ultimate Bliss, the ants and the unbroken afflictions, so they are called human beings, just like the human beings of the other six realms of the other world. Ants, private afflictions all gone, ignorance has not broken like Thanh Van of other world. In fact, this is our true level. So when we come to the world of Ultimate Bliss, we are all Bodhisattvas. Any recession, that is all due to the duty of Amitabha Buddha to help, It's not because we cultivate. And we ourselves compared to heaven the other world is no different, this is the first way to say. The second saying is that we have not been to the Western World of Great Bliss before, but from heaven, from the human realm. There are witnesses were Preliminary results, Nhi results, tam results, A-la-Han, reciting Buddha's name that reborn, so they belong to the line of Thanh Van. Such people reborn in the West of Bliss many, countless numbers cannot be counted.

"Life is immeasurable." This sentence says that the new life is also immeasurable, Phàm Thanh Đồng, lowering the quality of life has immeasurable life, that is to say that each and every life is immeasurable. If Buddha's life span is long, usually dwell in the world, then sentient beings have a place to rely on. Like this world, sentient beings are thin. Shakyamuni Buddha lived in his life for 80 years, after the Buddha's extinction, sentient beings have no recourse. Nowadays, although the scriptures are very much in the world, people have many opportunities to interact, but this is still a blind practice, not knowing what dharma to learn, or their own identity. . Although we have studied the Buddha, our doubts have not ended. This doubt is a great obstacle. Buddha said, suspected is the biggest obstacle of Bodhisattva, let alone those who have just learned. Bodhisattva suspected or is a great obstacle. This sentence is very deep. We didn't understand it before, but now we understand a bit. What does the Bodhisattva suspect? That is the Pure Land doubt. Although having met this sutta, listened to the Buddha's sermon but could not accept it, did not believe it. In the past, in the Dharma Assembly, people left their seats a lot, could not receive, and this Pure Land method could not receive more and more people. Bodhisattva needs to practice in countless lifetimes, not even in a successful life. This is the obstacle of the Bodhisattva. So, Buddha stayed forever in the new place to have refuge. and the Pure Land Method, one cannot receive more and more people. Bodhisattva needs to practice in countless lifetimes, not even in a successful life. This is the obstacle of the Bodhisattva. So, Buddha stayed forever in the new place to have refuge. and the Pure Land Method, one cannot receive more and more people. Bodhisattva needs to practice in countless lifetimes, not even in a successful life. This is the obstacle of the Bodhisattva. So, Buddha stayed forever in the new place to have refuge.

Amitabha Buddha and his world are truly True Newspaper Adornment, the austerities of Buddhism and great Bodhisattva. We have the extravagant year we enter the degrees, this is what our ancestors said. Those five vehicles are: Human Vehicle, Thien Vehicle, Thanh Van Vehicle, Pratyekabuddha, Bo-slapped vehicle.

Coming to the Western world of Great Bliss is equal, all are on the level of Amitabha Buddha, it is inconceivable. This, ordinary Bodhisattva can not believe, can not receive. The Western world is actually very special, along with the other realms of the Buddhas. This lord is the Buddha of Infinite Life, being truly immeasurable. Therefore, the reborn there is also immeasurable. To be honest is also immeasurable truth. Why? Even in this life, they all become Buddhas. Already a Buddha, so how about life? Nature is also immeasurable. So we come to the ultimate bliss world. Amitabha Buddha manifests existence in immeasurable amounts. After we arrived at that realm, we immediately turned into immeasurable truth, So is the same reason.

Chenghai said: "People of immeasurable life are the most virtue of the Pure Land". Then explain as follows: "Practicing only fear of dead ghosts, because the interruption between life and death is the source of charm. Meet the Buddha, listen to the Dharma, meet the Saints, make offerings to the Buddhas, be close to you, have fun naturally, and have no hardships ... Any cup of pearls without bottom. This prayer is very important. "

The following, Amitabha Buddha gives a very good example, sentient beings in the three great heavenly heavens in the world do not know how many, the number is too much. You should know, this being means saying beings in the six paths, not just human beings. Humans on the planet are not very many, currently there are less than 5 memories, and how many ants do there are, mosquitoes ..., how many of these animals are there? Currently there is no way to calculate, let alone the hungry ghosts and gods. Can be seen in the three great heavenly beings of this world, beings in the six paths too much.

The Buddha gave an example: suppose that these people immediately attained enlightenment (wisdom, the magical power of Pratyekabuava one level higher than Arahant), using wisdom and divine power to spread the force. hundred hundred lifetimes is a very long time, not a day two days, not ten years, twenty years or hundreds of years, thousands of years, to calculate whether life span is long or short, but counting cannot be! If counted, the Buddha Amitabha Buddha did not become already! In fact, the life of people in the world of Bliss, besides Buddha, from the Enlightenment Bodhisattva or lower can not know, this is immeasurable truth. 

Prayer 17: Praised by the Buddhas.

Yin: Buddha's time, the cross of the world, countless loyalties, countless Buddhas, injustice, confession of self-respect, self-criticism, nationality, merit, and righteous awareness. 

Meaning: When I became a Buddha, countless Buddhas in the infinite realms of the ten directions of the world, if they did not praise my name, said the good virtue of my national virtue, swore not to become enlightened.

"Ten directions of the world", is often said to take place nowhere, France, a world is not outside. A number of Buddhas, a Buddha also doesn't miss, there is no world in which Buddha does not say the three Pure Land Sutras, no Buddha does not advise people to pray for Pure Land. Except your predestined affinity, preaching to you also do not believe, do not believe, you will vilify Buddha, so will be guilty, so Buddha did not say. The Buddha is very compassionate, does not let you defame, does not let you create karma so do not preach to you. His prayer has come true! All ten directions all Buddhas praise Amitabha Buddha, all praise to the Western world of Great Bliss, because it comes to the point that sentient beings are the ultimate extinction, the nothingness of the dharma realm, a sentient being. nor missed. Amitabha Buddha, sentient beings on the Bodhisattva of lower enlightenment, This is common throughout. Moreover, it is ultimately possible for all sentient beings to be equal to Buddha. This is all the Buddhas can not be compared!

Buddhas cannot be compared to Amitabha Buddha, so the Bodhisattvas of course are even more impossible. The worldly people have the feeling that love is very heavy. There are some people along with some predestined Bodhisattvas who do not recite the Buddha's name and want to recite the Bodhisattva's feelings, which are very heavy and cannot be relieved. Therefore, this business must read a lot, must clearly understand. All Buddhas cannot be compared with Amitabha Buddha, so Bodhisattva of course cannot be compared. Why don't you recite Amitabha Buddha and still recite Bodhisattva? One is too heavy attachment, the other is not understood so this new misunderstanding. There are some people who often recite the Bodhisattva, recite for many years, arguing that if they do not recite the Bodhisattva but recite Buddha's name, it seems that they are at fault with the Bodhisattva, tormented by conscience. Some people chant sutras like the Kim Cang Sutta and the mausoleum of Lang-strict and recite many years, now tell them to recite Amitabha Buddha, recite Amitayus,

Today, we understand the infinite life expectancy, we know the Buddha Amitabha, switch to chanting Amitayus, recite Amitabha Buddha, is to bring the practice upwards and promote . Just like class promotion. Going to class is a good thing, no student who finishes the first year doesn't want to go to the second year, just because they have deep affection for the first year. Currently, in your heart is like that. The test has enough points, so I could not go to class; This school needs to graduate and can't go, want to stay at school. Are you saying it is worrisome? This is a big mistake. So must know, can chant the Infinite Life, can recite Amitabha Buddha, this is we are upgrading, lifting to the peak, nothing can be higher. For the real benefit of all sentient beings, hoping that all sentient beings will soon become Buddhas, in Bodhi religion, they will sail smoothly, There are no obstacles. What method to use? That is to introduce the Western world of Ultimate Bliss. It is possible that rebirth in the Pure Land is smoothly sailing, and all obstacles are no longer there. If you think that if Amitabha Buddha does not make this vow, all the Buddhas do not promote, introduce, and do not praise the Buddhas, then how can we know the Western Pure Land? , how do we know Amitabha Buddha. So, for us, Shakyamuni introduced it. Speaking of this vow, then he knew he also received the vow of Buddha Amitabha help. The duty of Amitabha Buddha makes all Tathagata Buddhas praise and promote the introduction, this grace is too great. An Buddha is hard to repay, this is the truth. obstacles are no longer available. If you think that if Amitabha Buddha does not make this vow, all the Buddhas do not promote, introduce, and do not praise the Buddhas, then how can we know the Western Pure Land? , how do we know Amitabha Buddha. So, for us, Shakyamuni introduced it. Speaking of this vow, then he knew he also received the vow of Buddha Amitabha help. The duty of Amitabha Buddha makes all Tathagata Buddhas praise and promote the introduction, this grace is too great. An Buddha is hard to repay, this is the truth. obstacles are no longer available. If you think that if Amitabha Buddha does not make this vow, all the Buddhas do not promote, introduce, and do not praise the Buddhas, then how can we know the Western Pure Land? , how do we know Amitabha Buddha. So, for us, Shakyamuni introduced it. Speaking of this vow, then he knew he also received the vow of Buddha Amitabha help. The duty of Amitabha Buddha makes all Tathagata Buddhas praise and promote the introduction, this grace is too great. An Buddha is hard to repay, this is the truth. Shakyamuni Buddha introduced it. Speaking of this vow, then he knew he also received the vow of Buddha Amitabha help. The duty of Amitabha Buddha makes all Tathagata Buddhas praise and promote the introduction, this grace is too great. An Buddha is hard to repay, this is the truth. Shakyamuni Buddha introduced it. Speaking of this vow, then he knew he also received the vow of Buddha Amitabha help. The duty of Amitabha Buddha makes all Tathagata Buddhas praise and promote the introduction, this grace is too great. An Buddha is hard to repay, this is the truth.

Prayer 18: Prayer ten reborn memories. 

Yin: Buddha's time, the way of sentient beings, the self-proclaimed title, the mind of cynicism, the use of good roots, the mind of dedication, the aspiration of the national fall, the recitation of the mindfulness, the impurities of the false sentient beings Cupping. The only exception is contradictory, defamatory Chief Justice. 

Meaning: When I become Buddha, sentient beings in the ten directions hear my name, believe with all my heart, if there is any good thing, wholeheartedly dedicate aspiration to the vows of my country, up to ten thoughts, if not reborn, vowed not to become enlightened. Except those who slander the five contradictions, defaming the Dharma. 

Lecture:

This is the 18th vow, the essence of the great vow. The ancients brought all the dharma that Shakyamuni Buddha spoke for 49 years to make a comparison. In the commentary on Amitabha Sutras by layperson Hoang Niem To, in Sui Tang period (China), Japan, and Korea, the Venerable Buddhists made a statistic, clarified in all the sutras, Chinese Nghiem is the first. This seems to be acknowledged by everyone. Kinh Nghiem and the Amitayus Sutra make a comparison, the first Amitayus Sutta, the Avatamsaka Sutra is reduced. Kinh Nghiem, Kinh Hoa are all compared to the Amitayus Sutta, which is the most magnificent sūtra that 49 years of World Religion said. Why so? In the Avatamsaka Sutra, eventually the ten great vows of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra all led to Bliss. At that time, the Avatamsaka Sutra would be full, if it did not lead to Bliss, the Shurangama Sutra could not reach the highest peak,

Because this may know, the United States Nghiem is ultimately attributable to Bliss. Amitayus Sūtra is the summary of the Sūtra. So to understand why the Wise Sutra is the first, is the essence of the Sutta Experience. Therefore, the ancients said the Amitayus Sutta is the duty of the Avatamsaka Sutra, which is the Avatamsaka Sutra. The Avatamsaka Sutra consists of eighty volumes, too large. Business Amitayus, the relatively small amount of so-called neutral duty. If there is a middle duty, of course there is a minor duty; the small business is Nghiem Hoa Nghiem is Amitabha Sutta. Although the texts are wide and quantitative; width is much, the amount is not the same, but the internal morality is not different, completely similar. So, the Amitayus Sutta, the A-di-da sutta and the Sūtra Nghiem Sutta are very intimate. Read in the sutras, we see where the place is talking about Samantabhadra, Samantabhadra. Great Master Lien Tri notes the Amitabha Sutras also called Di-Da So, what method do you use to comment? Almost completely use Hoa Nghiem. Therefore, we recite the Amitabha Sutta almost reading the entire Sutra, the profound meaning. This proves that the true Amitabha Sutta is the quintessence of the Sūtra, which is the center of the Sutta Sutra. Thus, in the entire Buddha Dharma, we have realized the importance of the Infinite Life Sutta.

Infinite Life Business has 48 products, which are the most important? The sixth product, talking about 48 great vows. Forty-eight aspirations are the center of this sutta. 

Of the 48 vows, which one is the most important? Virtue from the ancient virtues said, is the 18th vow: Ten memories are reborn. This has clearly stated the merit of the title of Buddha can not be thought of, access to the highest peak is a sentence "Namo Amitabha Buddha". 

In the past, we often heard the merit of the inconceivable Buddha. Why is that? Because the whole Buddha Dharma culminates in a sentence of Buddha's name.

So, the one who recited the Namo Amitabha Buddha had included reciting all the Tathagata Buddhas, reciting all the Bodhisattvas, reciting all the sutras, including spear, Zen and Tantric Buddhism. How easy it is! One is all, all is one. One is the Namo Amitabha Buddha. The Dharma Master Avanage said: "Sentient beings create very heavy pity, whatever sorrow or repentance cannot be eliminated. Finally, only one sentence Amitabha Buddha destroys the poor. ” So today, people recite Buddha a lot, but karma does not target? In fact, you recite Buddha's name just outside your mouth, not in your mind, still differentiating between left and right, people, greed, and ignorance, cannot correspond with Buddha. Reciting Buddha's name in mind must have Buddha, not just in the mouth. Mouth called professed, mindfulness in mind, in the heart must be true Buddha to call Buddha recitation. If you recite Buddha's name without Buddha's karma, karma cannot be eradicated. So, in order to eliminate the accident from the accident, there must be Buddha in mind.

Reciting Buddha's name has many methods. In the Amitabha Sutta says: Contemplating reciting Buddha's name, Contemplating reciting Buddha's name, Maintaining your mindfulness of Buddha's name. Each sentence has the word "reciting". 

Contemplation is in the mind often think of Buddha Amitabha from the time a practitioner reaches enlightenment, propagating the Dharma of sentient beings. In addition, remembering the world of Bliss, the chief justice, is the 16 legal shops in the sutta. In our hearts truly there is only the World of Bliss, there is Amitabha Buddha, there is no other thought. This is called single mindfulness of the Buddha, even though we read the suttas very well but our hearts are still left and right, people and greed are called recitation of Buddha's name, multi-mindedness in reciting Buddha's name, Buddha's mindfulness disorder. Then there is no achievement, no karma can be eliminated. So, one must recite the Buddha's name with one mind. This is using the Visualization method.

Contemplation of Buddha, how to practice? There are Buddha statues in the house, so solemn offerings are made. On his own, he has free time, not busy doing anything, bringing the perfect Buddha to record deeply in his heart. But when leaving the place of worshiping Buddha, this elaborate subject was interrupted, so there must be a solemn place of worshiping Buddha, all four sides have Buddha images. Why? To look at all directions see Buddha, this is Quan Yin Memorial.

The third method is Tri, which is the easiest to practice. "Maintaining" is to preserve unbroken, the Buddha's name reminds himself of the true Buddha. So, the ancients taught the Tri method, in the mind often arise the Buddha's name, mouth, ear, and back into mind. This is the true Buddhist concept. If you only recite in your mouth, there is no Buddha's name in your mind, your ears do not listen, or such recitation has no genuine benefit. The ancients said: "Sore mouth, sore throat, just wasting effort", although each day reciting ten thousand Buddha verses will not be of any help.

So, in the mind that there must be Buddha, this is very important. I recommend that people who are new to Buddhism should read the Buddhist scriptures. First, should bring the Infinite Life to read three thousand times. This request of mine is not too much. One day chanting three sets, three years will be complete. The goal is cultivation. After reading three thousand sets and then the mind will, no longer disturbed. Dinh in a subject, in a business. After reading three thousand sets, will definitely understand this business, can memorize. If you do not memorize, do not memorize, there will be no benefit to spiritual practice.

Reality can belong to the Infinite Life. I have seen through the two of you, in my heart, because I also do not have this ability. In the United States, there was a middle-aged practitioner, he was a businessman, and the work was very busy, and within five months he could memorize this sutta, even he himself did not expect it. He told me that reading only for five months can memorize. I even heard that one of them had met him once in Taipei. He read very diligently, just a week to memorize. Basically, this is due to the previous life, so they quickly belong. Therefore, the current audience recites a lot by heart, after three years of reading, three thousand volumes.

In addition, the meaning in the sutta must be thorough. Understand thoroughly, then follow the practice, so that's true. Bringing morality in the sutras turned into thought of their own understanding, the teachings in the sutras became their living acts. Right in everyday life, people treat that, must follow the teachings in the Amitayus Sutra, be certain not to do wrong, called true people practice. Then, your mind is like Amitabha Buddha, your vow is like Amitabha Buddha. You bring Buddha's wishes into oneself. Amitabha Buddha made this vow, we also made this vow, all really can be done. I am the reincarnation of Buddha. If you don't die, who can die? This is called sincerely reciting Buddha's name. So, when reciting the Buddha's name, you must remember, not only in your mouth but also in your heart.

When I was studying Buddhism, my fellow practitioners often met and discussed. There was a person who said: In Buddha Dharma, the Buddha has universal virtues, I cannot believe. This is just a compliment, not a fact. Just like in the feudal era, we often praised the emperor for being hail, for a fact the emperor lived for ten thousand years, was that a lie? This is not true. The universal virtue is also easy to hear, just a compliment. Why? For example, there are people who create heavy crimes, misdemeanor crimes, and cruel crimes, immediately falling to hell. Did Buddha have the power to tell them to immediately become a Buddha? If we have this power, then the universal virtue can we be believed. If not, then just a compliment?

At that time, many fellow practitioners who finished listening did not have any answers. Later, when reading this sutta, we understood it. If we had read this sutta then we would have responded to that friend. Truly a thought to ten thoughts was reborn, just born to the West immediately became a Buddha. From there, we can see that universal virtue is not a mere praise, completely true. So why can't sentient beings become Buddhas? Just because he refuses to practice, he himself karma heavy, can not blame Buddha. In fact, if the karma was bad enough, but we had to follow the Buddha's words, we would not believe so we doubted, we refused to practice spiritually.

This prayer is inconceivable, the sum of all Buddha Dharma, the highest peak in Buddhism. It can be said that all Buddhas of Tathagata in the ten directions of three generations of sentient beings become Buddhas, this dharma is the highest peak. So, the merit of the title is genuine, inconceivable. We take this vow carefully. In here, one word is not overlooked. "When I become Buddha, sentient beings in the ten directions hear my name." "Listening" has included sincere faith and earnest aspiration. If you hear but do not believe - vow, it is to hear but not to see. So, next he said "devotion to the mind" (wholeheartedly love it), these four words are the key. Whether we can die or not, decide in these four words. "Mind" is sincere to the extreme, also known as the true mind. Sincere sincerity, the mind is clean. There is a mind inside, not called mind. The body and mind of the world are letting go, only the Buddha's name is in the mind, this is truly mindful.

"Trust" is true faith, without any doubt. "Favorite" is the celebration of destroying Buddha Amitabha, liking the world of Ultimate Bliss, sincerely wanting to be born. That's new! "All good roots, the mind always dedicates." Even in this life, a little bit of good deeds, any benevolent mind, dedicating solemn Pure Land, bringing this merit to the world of Western Bliss.

In the book of the Award, the Great Master said: "Be reborn or not, it is due to faith - whether or not; high and low qualities are due to elaborate maintenance of depth or depth. These are all based on this prayer, the high and low lotus product is based on the Buddha's elaboration. Elaborately maintaining the deep reputation, the dignity is high, the meticulous practice is shallow, the low quality. Remember to keep the list of shallow meticulous deep, not say the list of more or less. More or less the same elaborate is not the same. Tri must be elaborate. What is elaborate? When reciting Buddha mind, it must be pure, not doubtful, not interfering. If we have doubts, there is no elaboration when reciting Buddha's name, so it is not easy to benefit. So, Bodhisattva Dai The Chi said: "Pure mindfulness continuously". This mindfulness must be pure, so that there is touch, then there is correspondence. This place means not to recite Buddha's name more or less.

"Up to ten thoughts." The ancients explained "ten concepts" at normal times that recite, or recite ten concepts at death? Actually, these are ten notions at death, but ten notions for ordinary times are not wrong. The magician Tu Van only teaches ten concepts for busy people who do not have time to practice early in the evening. The method of just reciting one breath at a time is one thought, in this one breath the verse of Buddha verse is not much or less. Some people are a bit long, some people are a bit short! Time to recite this Buddha is not long. Waking up early in the morning, after washing your face, if you have a Buddha image, accept the Buddha's hand, then recite ten breaths. If you do not have a Buddha image, then head to the West to recite the Buddha's name ten breaths. Early in the morning once, once in the evening, getting into a habit, practicing your whole life, never missing it. This is also called "continuous recitation." Every day until now, recite, no shortcomings. This method is very good, for several hundred years, many people have used this method to recite Buddha's name.

I remember last year, here, I have given you ten legal concept. This is a new method, unlike the method of Grand Master Tu Van, which is somewhat simpler, because of His reciting ten breaths, and here each time reciting only ten Amitabha Buddha verses, I think just one minute is enough. However, a day must be recited nine times, so there will be many benefits. Early in the morning wake up once a day, eat three meals a day, before and after each one. Normally, before using the rice, reading the offerings to the Buddhas, today we recite the ten verses of Amitabha Buddha, using the sincere and respectful mind to recite the Buddha's name, and then use the rice and the body and mind pure, new food can absorb, help digestion well, this is the truth. In the morning before going to work recite once. Nine times a day, making it a habit. The time for reciting is short, but not very long apart, nine days a day, the effect is great. I proposed this method not long, just two weeks fellow practitioners in Malaysia telephoned to me: we recite the Buddha effectively, thank you very much!

This is a very good method. People who are busy at work can also practice. For work and life, there are absolutely no obstacles. Then everyone should practice this ten concept.

"The only exception is reverse, defaming the Chief Justice". Misdemeanor is a very serious crime: killing his father, killing his mother, killing Arahant, destroying the Sangha, making Buddha's body blood. However, in the Amitabha Sutta says these five misdeeds, when reciting the Buddha's ten recitations, can still be reborn. Important in the last sentence "defaming the Chief Justice", because they do not believe capital, should of course not recite the Buddha's name. It is not impossible to save them, just because they refused to accept them. In this saying, the implication of Buddha is very deep, most people who commit serious sins turn very hard, not easy to believe, this is the real thing. From this vow, we know the essential recitation of Buddha, the basis of rebirth.

To recite the Buddha's name as much as possible, we have to be devoted to our cultivation, which is very important. All other things are let go, every day specializing in the Buddha Amitabha ceremony. Desire, release are like Buddha. This is in the Sūtra Infinite Life says: "The mind is the Buddha". All dharma words come from mind. Our mind is truly a Buddha. Out of the ten dharmas of dharma, we are full of the dharma realm of Buddha, the "mind of Buddha". The most specific, natural method of cultivation is in accordance with the miraculous path, naturally suitable for Buddha.

Great Master Thien Dao said, in 48 prayers, from the 12th prayer: Deciding to become Right Understanding; Prayer 13: Light immeasurably; Prayer 15: Life immeasurable network; Prayer 17: Buddhas praise; Prayer 18th: Ten thoughts are born. These five vows are true wisdom, the essence of 48 prayers, the center of 48 prayers. These five vows are very authentic, essential and essential of the Buddha Amitabha. 

Here, we can see in a thorough, insightful way that it is Buddha who wants to teach all sentient beings the method of quickly becoming a Buddha, without going through many lifetimes of practice, even in the present life of giving birth. Death settled. So in order to do this, there is a new vow "ten thoughts to be reborn." This is the desire to win. Sentient beings recite Buddha certainly into Buddha.

In the past, when I read the Sūtra of the Infinite Life to the "Tam Phuoc" passage, I learned that it was the entrance to the practice, the true foundation. I take this passage very seriously. In particular, the last thing is "generating the Bodhi mind, believing in deep cause and effect, reciting Mahayana scriptures, encouraging tons of spiritual practitioners". But, "deep in causal news," I asked for many years, could not answer, did not know what it meant. Why do I not understand this statement? Assuming this sentence is in the first sentence, I do not doubt, but in the third sentence should be skeptical. Because the third blessing is for the Bodhisattva, the first thing is heavenly people, the second is Hinayana. The Bodhisattva need to believe deeply causal, but what is this cause and effect? Normally, we all believe in cause and effect in heaven and on earth. Doing good with good results, doing evil with bad results, could Bo-slaps not believe or what? So, What is the cause and effect in the end? I suddenly got it! It is reciting Buddha's name as a cause, becoming a Buddha, and that is the Pure Land dharma method. I am very stupid, do not understand the meaning of this passage, after many years to understand! This sutras are straight, reciting Buddha's name as a true person, becoming a Buddha is a true fruit.

During the Tang dynasty, Great Master Thien Dao was the second Patriarch of Pure Land Buddhism, with two famous sentences: "Tathagata exists in the world, only saying the Buddha's prayer is wide and deep". In the story, someone said he was Buddha Amitabha again. In history, there were three people who were Amitabha Buddha reborn: the Great Teacher Thien Dao, the Great Master Vinh Minh and the Venerable Phong Can at Quoc Thanh Pagoda, Thien Thai Mountain. If Amitabha Buddha returns, then the two sentences above are His words to sentient beings the fact that all Tathagata Buddhas appear in the world because sentient beings speak Dharma. What to say? Say the vast sea prayer of Buddha Amitabha. The three Pure Land Sutras all talk about the 48 great aspirations of Buddha Amitabha. The Sutra of the Great Buddha Quang Nghiem also spoke of the duty of Amitabha Buddha, until Shakyamuni Buddha spoke the dharma for 49 years. Today we gather the whole Sutta Pitaka, It is also said 48 great vows are the total credo of the Buddhas. Knowing this, all the Buddhadharma can grasp.

So of the 48 vows, the "ten rebirths" vow is the highest credo of all. A Buddha verse comes here only to understand clearly. If you do not realize clearly, do not know who knows of, then how to make it a precious, how to study hard. If the person who truly understands, recognizes, understands, you will naturally see it as treasured, certain not to be abandoned, certain not to let go, then to be able to faithfully recite Buddha's name.

Honestly reciting Buddha's name is not easy! However, there are some who are absolutely ignorant. As there are some old women who can faithfully recite Buddha's name, when they die or sit and die. These old women don't know anything, but the roots are very deep and cannot be compared to others. Benevolent and benevolent of virtue, they have cultivated many lives and lives, in the hearts of these old people, there are no thoughts, from morning to night, there is only one Buddha's verse. As for me, from morning to night, confusion and confusion, this is a virtue of goodness not equal to human. Thus, we only have one method to make it clear, to make thorough and to resolve to let go of a concept.

It is possible for a common man to enter into a life to enter into a true General, which is to see the mind of nature, a lifetime of fullness into Buddha. Actually, only the old man really recited Buddha's name. Apart from this one subject, did the testers see if there is a method to bring right and left, the cause of self, the greed, the hatred, the delusion, the ignorance, and all the exclusion? If you find no way, should recite Buddha's name quickly. Only reciting the Buddha's name is the best. 



May 19: Listen to the mind list. 

Prayer 20: Lam chung continues to lead.

Yin: The Buddha's self-departure, the way of all sentient beings, the self-proclaiming of the self-proclaimed title, the development of bodhicitta, the practice of merit-making, the practice of the Paramita, and the steadiness of recession. Relevant good dedicate radical return, trying to withdraw. Relevant good dedicate radical direction, vowing to fell the country, one mindfulness of falling, abiding in any labor. Lam life at the same time, the data of the Bodhisattva-slapped them, the current period money, tu tu travel time, ie birth and death, A-duy-viet-position Bo-slapped. Unsatisfied market prayer, Prime Minister Chief Awareness.

Meaning: When I became a Buddha, sentient beings all over the ten directions heard my name, generated the Bodhi mind, cultivated deeds, practiced the six paramitas, steadfastly did not retreat, and brought wholesome roots to return to their aspirations. About my country, one thought and I ceaselessly continued. When the general network, I along with them, Bo-slapped immediately to welcome, the moment of birth to my realm, was Undefeated. If not as vow, swear not to become enlightened. 



Lecture:

The ancients also took this 19 vow very seriously, because the three faculties were reborn. The Blessed One said, born in the world of Bliss, the most important condition is to generate the Bodhi mind, the most mindful direction. The 18th vow is to speak reciting, ten thoughts reborn. And the 19th prayer is to generate the Bodhi mind. These two vows can be found very important! In the 19th prayer, we must clearly recognize that it is Bodhicitta. "Bodhi" is Sanskrit, translated into Chinese as "enlightenment", true enlightenment, true enlightenment. In the Amitabha Sutta, the Buddha said three minds: the mind of the mind, the deep heart and the dedication center. That is the Bodhi mind. In the treatise Run Tin, Bo-slapped Ma Ming also said: righteous mind, deep mind, great compassion. The meanings are the same.

The Venerables from the past explained these three minds, in fact they are very difficult to assemble. Not equal to the Great Master Dieu Ich in the A-di-da Weak Prize, it is very clear and thoughtful: "The righteous person makes a vow to give birth to the Pure Land. This is very easy to understand. In other words, we turn our hearts and minds towards the Pure Land, born to the Pure Land. This mind is the Supreme Bodhi mind. Before Suddenly, no one said that, this was all initiated by him. However, the more you think, the more ethical and authentic it is, in accordance with the Buddha's birth duty. 

In the Mahayana sutras, Bodhi mind consists of the four activities of the vows. So the four-proclaimed vow is the specific practice of bodhicitta, which is very important.

The first is the great vow of "being sentient beings become a Buddhist religion". After this aspiration arose immediately had an unbelievable power, motivated himself diligently, not to treat. We learn Buddha, why often rot? Because when learning Buddha just want to achieve yourself, so students entertain. If your mind arises for saving sentient beings, this is a heavy mission. I became Buddha one day late, the sentient beings suffer one more day. I became a Buddha early, one day less sentient beings suffer. This power is great, cannot be treated, cannot be lazy, and must not let sentient beings suffer because we suffer more suffering. Thanks to this power motivates the practitioner to put an end to his afflictions, to diligently study the dharma disciple into Buddha, and the infinite amount of sentient beings will reach this goal. So we understand why the Bodhisattvas practice spiritually,

"Practicing merit". After having generated the Bodhi mind, immediately initiates great conduct, practices the six paramitas firmly firmly in recession, which is precisely thanks to the Bodhi mind. "Bring the wholesome roots dedicate", all the wholesome roots we practice, dedicate to the Pure Land. "Prayer for my realm, a thought to me day and night endlessly." This sentence needs to be understood, that is, one-pointed mind of Buddha uninterrupted. This recitation of the Buddha is not just outside the mouth, it must be really in the mind. In the true mind is Amitabha Buddha, there is only one recitation of Amitabha Buddha. In other words, in addition to the Buddha, there is no other mind in mind, this is called single-mindedly reciting. Amitabha Buddha's mind, how his aspirations ... in everyday life, we recite His name, we have to learn and do so.

Amitabha Buddha is right in the daily life, devotedly helping all sentient beings to break into enlightenment, faith - vow - to keep the name of the Pure Land. So, this has become the biggest thing in our entire life. 

The method of reciting the Buddha's name is very wonderful, vindictive, absolutely not hindering the mundane dharma (work, work in the world). At home reciting Buddha's name, no hindrance to housework; Business people, from bosses to employees, if reciting Buddha's name, the job will become light, comfortable, and not feel hard and tired. These are all genuine.

The merit and benefits of reciting Buddha's name are very large. So absolutely no obstacle of work; for good job there is no bad thing. If the ordinary woman wants to see the mind of Tanh, the Buddha nature, then she will recite the Buddha's name for Pure Land. This is the safest road. So, the Buddha said: "A mind that thinks of me, day and night without end" means that in the mind there is always Buddha not only outside the mouth, this is called confession, it is cause. Phat Bodhi mind is righteous thoughts, Buddha, then talk about the merit: "Time to die".

In this present life, human life is limited. We have good karmic retribution, knowing that this practice of reciting Buddha's name is due to the practice of previous life. As soon as the end of life and there is no more reincarnation, Buddha Amitabha will come to lead. Is it good for people to live long in this world? In fact, living one more day, one more day of sin; rebirth early one day, soon one day see Buddha, soon one day witness. Therefore, the true enlightened person is definitely not praying for longevity. However, having a long life is to guide sentient beings to practice together. Because those who are predestined, we say they will listen, others advise them not to listen. Many predestined people like that, their predestined conditions for escape, are ripe. Thus, even if the life expectancy ends up having to live for a few years to help them, this is the right thing to do. So, people who recite Buddha's long life, Definitely must for the sake of beings, help many people recite Buddha's rebirth. If it were not for that reason, then there would be no more reason to be in this world for another day.

"When the network, I along with Bo-slaps, The Holy immediately to welcome." At death, the Buddha appeared to lead people reciting Buddha's name. At this time, consider elaborately reciting Buddha, fate predestined to recite your Buddha like? If elaborately good, predestined to win, the Bodhisattvas follow Amitabha Buddha to lead a lot. If elaborately reciting the Buddha's name, normally not with the predestined people, the Buddha of Amitabha will continue to lead, and the Bodhisattvas will not come along much. This is something everyone has to understand.

Everyday, single-mindedly confessing concept, wide affinity with Buddha or wide affinity of Dharma, when born to the West of Ultimate Bliss, people will welcome and welcome a lot. Those who follow the Buddha are all initiates, friends, relatives, relatives in the past. In the past they were reborn, now they know that he should be reborn, so follow the Buddha to continue leading. At that time, thanks to the dreadful deity of Buddha Amitabha's help, your network will immediately appear. These people, from the past life many past lives, any life that has a relationship with us is aware, so we must definitely understand. And in the six corners of samsara are very lonely. The deceased will continue to reincarnate, separated relatives, want to meet is really not easy, completely strange realm. Only in the world of Ultimate Bliss, many relatives and relatives, are acquaintances, a little strange and no. This is the truth thousands of times accurate.

Great Master Nguyen Chieu, Song Dynasty, said: “In general, people who die without mastery of the consciousness, no kind of good or evil karma cannot detect: either reciting evil thoughts, or creating wrong views, or being attached to attachment. , or crazy, it's not just one evil ... that is crazy. " Obviously, a heavy woman, at a time when he was in so much trouble, was overwhelmed by four great miserable and painful things, so hard to describe, how mindfulness could maintain his name! How can you not be reborn as a rebirth?

Therefore, ordinary women reborn not because of their own strength, but thanks to the help of the Buddha Amitabha Buddha's prayers to keep them from going crazy, they will be reborn. The Book of Vien Trung Sao said, "Though sentient beings, though they can recite Buddha's name, their ants or confusion still cannot eradicate. When he died, he was not crazy because he did not master his own power, only thanks to Amitabha Buddha to help him. Although there is no mindfulness that retains mindfulness so the mind is not crazy, instant rebirth. ”

Amitabha Sutta translated into the Tang dynasty called Purification of Pure Land Buddha Dharma Life Experience, said: “At the time of death, Amitabha Buddha and his countless disciples of Thanh Van and Bo-slapped front and back surrounded, to stand in front of him, compassionate mind makes the mind not chaotic ". As such, it is clear that ordinary women in the middle of life are not crazy and not scattered, mindfulness of maintaining their name, all thanks to the help of Amitabha Buddha.

"The moment of birth to my country". The time of rebirth was very quick, although Ta-ba's world was ten and ten thousand times distant from the world of Bliss, but only one instant thought could be reached, the speed was extremely fast. After arriving in that realm, it is very important that "the Bodhisattva A-duy-viet-location". A-duy-Việt-Trí is Sanskrit, meaning Bodhisattva Real rot switch, the full test of the Three Realms. So, the ancients said this was the last pillar of Buddha Amitabha. Tanh Tanh, merit is extensive to the peak. Maintaining the name of the Buddha's name, which contains the inconceivable group of merit, is also the prayer of Buddha Amitabha, making people born to the world of Ultimate Bliss can witness the fullest of the Three Divas. In fact, this person is a Bodhisattva Vien-teacher. 

In the A-di-da Weak Prize, talk about the Tam any regression as follows:

1 - The unrelenting: enter the Holy line, such a place not damn ordinary mortal. 

2 - Happiness without recession: always being born, not falling to the position of Second Vehicle. 

3 - Mindfulness of recession: mind and mind enter the sea.

Of the three types of regression, the highest is recitation. Practitioners in this realm must be tu tu tu withdrawal. Practitioners in this realm must be a practitioner of the First Dhamma Festival in the Priory, or a monk who reaches the primordial mind in the teacher to break a product of ignorance, a partial dharmakaya, before he can attest to the sea. Necessarily position (Buddhahood). So must leave the two sides, completely returning to the middle way to be called "reciting the concept of importing the sea" Therefore, Ta-she realms are hard to witness reciting. But in this vow, the Buddha said the ten directions of sentient beings, listened to the mind of the mind, single-mindedly recited his name, and immediately gave birth in the realm of his country, becoming an undefeated being. The A-di-da also said: "Beings of the Land of Ultimate Bliss, are both Real and Precious."

Business A-di-da Weak Award also said: "In the pure land, the ranks of the reverse, the evil, ten anniversary of achievements, bringing rebirth in the lower grades also all three things." Lower products that also witnessed three things Any regression, in a life of becoming a Buddha is really nowhere, only the Bliss alone. Incredibly wonderful, especially like that, even thoughtful thinking would not reach it! 

Therefore, in the A-di-da Weak Award, Great Master Ngàn Ich said: “If it is not because of the mind nature that reaches to the extreme, due to the miraculous casting of the name, and the great vow of Buddha Amitabha How can momentum be like that ”. 

These two prayers 18 and 19 are the quintessence of the 48 aspirations of Amitabha Buddha. The 18th vow is the most quintessential. 

Prayer 21: Repentance is reborn.

Yin: Buddha's self-departure, the cross of sentient beings, the written self-title, the mindfulness of the nationality, the Bodhi mind, solidly rot. Truly they are deity, even in the mind of reincarnation, born of the Pure Land, immortal. Weak possession of evil, self-written, self-repentance too, micro-directed goodness, maintenance of marjoram, vow to birth and death, the general network of disobedience, evil wing of evil, ie birth of the country. At any rate retired, any Chief Justice Giac

Meaning: When I became a Buddha, sentient beings of the ten directions hear my name, remember to think of my country, generate the Bodhi mind steadfastly not regress, cultivate wholesomeness, wholeheartedly reborn to the Pure Land, all satisfied. Italy. If there is an evil karma in the previous life, listening to my name, wholeheartedly repenting, doing good deeds, reciting sutras to keep the precepts, and vowing to return to my country, when our common life doesn't stray into the three evil paths, then immediately return to my country. If that is not the case, swear not to become enlightened. 

Lecture:

The ten directions of sentient beings all include us, so we must believe deeply without doubt. "Remember" is the vow, the virtue; In my heart, I really hope the world of Bliss, often reciting the name of Buddha, reciting this thought is thinking. We often recall memories in our hearts, fastening the Buddha's name. People remember to remember many things, tangled up in the gut, those thoughts are the six realms of reincarnation. Remembering your children, remembering your parents, remembering your relatives with relatives, remembrance of reproduction, remembrance of power, all cannot escape from the six paths. Today, we are enlightened, understand, and then bring those memories into memory of reciting Buddha Amitabha, the mundane things of the world all let go, a memory of reciting the name of Buddha is most accurate. .

"Embracing the Bodhi mind, resolutely not retreating, cultivating the good roots," cultivating means that it truly exists in the mind. The benevolent base points to the holy name of Buddha Amitabha, in his heart there are six words of red name. "A dedication to the Pure Land will be born." This vow represents the ten directions that sentient beings want to give birth to the world of Bliss, the condition is very easy. Amitabha Buddha opened himself, so it is not difficult to die. "If there is evil karma in the past life", this is just a hypothesis, in fact, all women have pity. We must know for ourselves that the karma is deep, the karma is very heavy. "Listen to my name, wholeheartedly repentance" is a rebirth, which is very important! Great repentance merit, including all Buddha Dharma. No discourse of any method, if speaking about spiritual practice, all practice of penance. The merit of repetitive can not think.

This Dharma reciting Buddha's name has a rebirth karma, so it is important to focus on repentance. So which method to use? Reciting Buddha! Dread the title of Buddha inconceivable, can eliminate the sin of all sentient beings. Crime though very heavy, reciting Buddha's name can be eliminated. Shamans Tu Van said: "The people who create very serious sins, all the sutras, repentant dharma, cannot be eliminated, just by reciting Namo Amitabha Buddha, they can be eliminated." This is exactly the merit of the Buddha's verse, overcoming all the dharma and scriptures. In fact, the person who knows this very little, realizes that the pity is too heavy, but does not know how to recite Buddha's name, just prostrate to Master Sam, Luong Hoang Sam and so on.

Particularly the method of reciting the Buddha's name without waiting for the karma to finish, these people can still be reborn. This is true merit cannot be thought of. So, must one understand that repentance needs a form? Unnecessary! In the early years of studying Buddha, before I became a monk, I studied with Great Master Chuong Gia. Great compassionate teacher, taught me this method of penance. This dharma is very important, it is "created later". This is very essential. "Knowing the error immediately corrected, later not created anymore" called true repentance, not on the form. And the form of repentance must be truly solemn and respectful, in order to teach the initiator to respect. So if you want to spend your sins, you must truly repent. In this text, "self-confessed wholeheartedness" is mentioned, focusing on oneself.

"Doing good deeds," is the favor. We must focus on cultivating the precepts - concentration - wisdom. Concentration is pure mind, not all fame, six worldly pollution. Hue is for all the legal capacity to distinguish Chief Justice, not learning the wrong subject. To do good is to practice merit, as I have said it is very important, should not be taken lightly. Considering the meaning, in the three refuge, taking refuge in Buddha, seriously, that is full of blissful wisdom. Thus, the Buddha has a complete blessing, but where does the blessing come from? Are due to practice, so Buddha taught to cultivate wisdom. Want to be sentient beings must have great merit. There is no wisdom nor can we save sentient beings, destroying enlightenment, leaving suffering to be happy. Therefore, we must bless our spiritual practitioners.

We confess the name of the Buddha, pray to the Pure Land, this is wisdom. Also practice Tam Phuoc, Six legal harmony, Luc, this is blessed. In blessed there is wisdom, in wisdom there is blessing. So, definitely must understand the good deeds. 

In the Sutta, every recitation, Amitabha Buddha is doing good, educating and helping all sentient beings, this is giving. Creating the World of Great Bliss so that sentient beings can learn and cultivate as generosity. Beings to the world of Ultimate Bliss, enjoying the blessings of Buddha, no longer fearing samsara, this is fearless almsgiving. Thus, the Buddha a-di-da has done three measures of generosity.

"Keeping the sutras" is saying we must chant the Mahayana scriptures and exhort others. Today we read the Mahayana sutta, so we should start with the Sūtra of the Infinite Life. First memorize this sutta. When you are through, you will firmly grasp the rebirth, then read through the other Mahayana sutras. If people do not have time to read a lot of sutras, then one heart and soul dedicated to reciting Buddha's name for rebirth, are very good. All Buddhist scriptures, when coming to the West of Bliss, meet Amitabha Buddha, will continue to study countless dharma disciplines. Born in the Pure Land, meet the Buddha, make sure there is no reincarnation, and countless lifespans. So, this is a tremendous deal. I often advised my fellow practitioners, in the four activities of the four aspirations, to take the next two aspirations to study the subjects of Buddhism, when returning to the world of Bliss to perform.

"At the time when the common life did not stray into the three evil paths, instant birth to my country", is the main point of this prayer. If previous lives do evil, have karma, the decision after the common network must fall into three evil ways (hell, hungry ghosts, animals). But this life of repentance, cultivating good deeds, chanting the precepts, generating faith - prayer, reciting the name of the Buddha, turning the mind to pray for Pure Land ... ... thanks to the merit of Buddha A's prayer - di-da, prevent the old karma, be led by Buddha, do not fall to the map, quickly born on Bliss. Therefore, the sutta says: "No one is not satisfied". The word "contentment" means that the meaning of birth of Pure Bliss is fully satisfied. Obviously, the deep and ancient career people were not falling into three evil ways, bringing rebirth. The compassionate prayer of the Buddha of Amitabha profoundly, the power to receive and save vast beings,

Thus, the theory of "bringing karma to rebirth" is based on 48 Buddha aspirations, not self-fabrication. Moreover, the karma brought along is the bad karma from before. We see in the sutras, De-she-reached-create misdemeanor to fall to hell, when paid off in retribution in hell to escape. People who recite the Buddha's birth to the West are absolutely not like that, but are born with karma. 

Prayer 22: There are no women in the country. 

Prayer 23: Bored female body, transformed into a male body. 

Prayer 24: Biochemistry in the lotus.

Yin: The Buddha's self, the nation of women. Weakness of female celebrities, self-written, self-pure, trusting Bodhi mind, overalls female body, vows to fall, nationalization instantization of death, suicide. Cross the world, sentient beings type, born false nationality, period of maintenance maintenance, United centralized birth and birth. At any rate retired, any Chief Justice Giac. 

Meaning: When I became Buddha, my country had no women. If any woman listens to my name, trusts and trusts, generates the Bodhi mind, hates the female body, and then becomes a male student to return to my country. The sentient beings of the ten directions of the world, born of my country, have been transformed into seven treasured lotus flowers. If that is not the case, swear not to become enlightened. 

Lecture:

The Western world is an equal world, if any man or woman is unequal. Buddha Amitabha is very wise, he has seen through many other worlds, there are men and women, every day in chaos. Therefore, He thought that the world must be the same, all men, no women. The female student of the Pure Land world became a male, moreover the same body, like Buddha Amitabha. This all comes from this vow, which is the most rare!

The Buddhas world in the ten directions does not have this. So, Great Master Thien Dao said: “Because of the deity of the Buddha of Amitabha, so the female of the ten directions recited the Buddha's name, until the time of death, all of them are male, like the body of the Buddha ”. The Buddha came to lead, the light has just come on, this incarnation immediately appears, this body renounces immediately new incarnation, along with the same Buddha body. So, people in the West of Ultimate Bliss are not like a small child who gradually grows up, if so there is already born and then pass away. The world of Ultimate Bliss has no arising and passing, completely incarnation, the appearance immediately resembles Amitabha Buddha. 

"The sentient beings of the ten directions of the world, born of my country, are reborn in a lotus of seven treasures. If that is not the case, then we will not become Right Understanding ”. This prayer is biochemical in the lotus.

The landscape in the world of Bliss is usually abiding, without birth, without death, forever without change or destruction. And this world vanishes in every moment, cannot often remain, all things change, so called impermanence. We look at this lecture hall, which is impermanent, it's changing, albeit slowly. A new lecture hall if left for thousands of years is no longer! Or in some conditions, unintended things, it turns into fossils; After transforming into fossils, it keeps on changing. This is called impermanence, is not sustainable. The world of Bliss includes all things, often and unchanged; Only the lotus pond has changed. In the world in the ten directions, if someone genuinely develops the mind of reciting Buddha's name for a Western birth, then for a Buddhist pond to recite in the Western world, then a lost lotus will grow in the lotus. If this person's mind sincerely recites Buddha's name, earnestly recites Buddha's name, that lotus flower gradually grows up. So, this lotus is not the same big or big, or one do-week, ten do-weeks, or one hundred do-weeks, one thousand do-weeks. It is due to the Buddha's deep shallow practice of discrepancy.

The color of the flower is also not the same, it seems that there is birth and death. If people recite Buddha's name, a few years later, they will no longer recite, change their mind, study Zen, learn Tantra, this flower will dry up, and then disappear. When we were reborn, Amitabha Buddha held this lotus flower. Because of the power to recite the Buddha's own Buddha and the Buddha's vow, these two forces create this phenomenon. Until all the solemn things of the Ultimate Bliss world are due to the will of the Buddha Amitabha, all the sincerity is genuine, unchanged. And the lotus is due to our mindfulness and the Buddha's vow combined. So does the lotus have genuine reality? We recite Buddha's name, this mind has to be completely unrefined. This is the continuous recitation, the flower also becomes true often. The person who just passed away to that realm also became ordinary, biochemical in the lotus.

In the Amitabha Sutta, Great Master Lien Tri said, "Beings are born in the six bodies of the intermediate state and pray to their parents. Born in the Pure Land, within the interval of fingernails, biochemistry in the lotus. The lotus is a magical palace to escape from the human body, a miraculous home for peace, that is, all sentient beings in six paths, after the common life, become the intermediate state body. In that intermediate state body, due to the karmic past karma of self-seeking, that went in search of parents in the world, sowing into the womb filled with filth to form a body infected with pity. Thus, the star of birth to the Pure Land, to be led by Buddha, in the span of a finger, to be born in the lotus, immediately to the Land of Bliss. That lotus flower is a magical palace to rid one's body and a magical house to nourish one's own life ”. These words manifest the profound aspirations of Buddha Amitabha, the ultimate compassion,

So from the eighth vow: ten thoughts are born, to this vow has said the benefits venerable upper vehicle. This benefit is the most vindictive, truest, biochemical lotus flower. 

Prayer 25: Gods worship people. 

May 26: Hear the title blessed. 

Prayer 27: Tu Hanh vengeful victory. 

Yin: The Buddha's self, the cross of sentient beings, self-written, self-satisfied wedding Festival, worshiping the cult rules, purity of mind, cultivating Bodhisattva conduct, gods in human life and glass. Weaknesses self-deprecating name, general life expectancy after birth, religious life, home base, the innumerable defect, usually tu vengeful victory. Any real fake, immoral Chief Justice Awareness.

Meaning: When I became a Buddha, sentient beings all over the ten directions, I listened to the title I was happy to believe in, worshiped for the life of the Buddha, and cultivated the mind of pure bodhisattva conduct, gods and people wholeheartedly. If you hear my title, after the network was born into the home of honor, the full base, usually religious life won. If this is not the case, swear not to become enlightened. 

Lecture:

"Joyful wedding of ridicule" is excited to believe and to like. "Literature" is listening, which has faith in the merit of the Buddha's name, which manifests itself in daily life as "worshiping your life". The ceremony does not specify a day from the early to the evening of the Buddha how many prostrations, of course someone takes this method to practice, each day can bow to Buddha three thousand or one thousand. Absolutely, not fixed requires everyone to be like that. Prostration is in homage to the Buddha Amitabha, each memory is not forgotten, no comment always, we also have respect for Buddha, so called prostration.

However, at present, in this society, there is a lot of time for work, lack of movement, so often advocacy is encouraged. It is a pity to learn the Buddha to bring these time to other activities. The best exercise is to bow to Buddha. At work, we have been sitting for too long, so we need to be active. The main activity is bowing to Buddha. At the heart of pure sincerity, this physical structure is moving to each part, better than nothing, for the health of the body with great help. Understand the many benefits of bowing to the Buddha, so Lord Buddha will be more or less depending on you, indefinitely. If you have time, then bow down a lot, if you don't have time, reduce it.

Another method is Buddha noise. Noise Buddha is walking. Outside walking activities, in the heart of the Buddha, like going to the city in the main hall. But not in the main hall, when going everywhere like that. 

"Quy network" is the refuge of, wholeheartedly, the whole body of refuge in Amitabha Buddha. This sutta is the Buddha Amitabha, wholeheartedly following the teachings in the sutras that teach and practice, bringing the pure and equal mind of compassion from the Bodhisattva. Hanh Bo-slapped is the Three School and Six degrees, is doing good, the benefit of all sentient beings. 

"Gods and people respect their hearts wholeheartedly". Today, we have the benefits, we can practice like that, then no matter where we go, everyone will be revered and supported. This person gains benefits right now.

"Listen to my title, after the network was born into the home of respect, the full base." For the world, people who recite Buddha's name are still attached to being unable to let go, and in the next life, this person is born into a noble house, just born immediately has many blessings to enjoy, a full body, a healthy life long. This is the karmic retribution in the past life of reciting Buddha's name, but due to not making a vow to rebirth in Bliss, only blessed will be reported.

"Often virtue of victory is committed." It is pure conduct. Because, they have deep good healing, so in this world continue to study Buddha, continue to practice. This is the majestic deity of Buddha Amitabha helping protect, this person does not lose himself. We are all of this type, in the past life we ​​recited Buddha's name but couldn't renounce the world so we couldn't die, this life met the Buddha Dharma again and continued to practice.

In this passage consists of three prayers, all of which clearly indicate the merit of hearing the name of Buddha. Because sentient beings are intrinsic in nature, although they hear the name of Buddha, the mind of vow to rebirth has not yet arisen. Mouth said rebirth, in the heart does not let go of the world, relatives of relatives tied in heart, credit - prayer is not deep, maintain the name nor professional, so with the great aspirations of Buddha Amitabha still far away. However, although this person has not been reborn, but still blessed in heaven. So, this is an indication of the name of Buddha Amitabha, which just needs to be heard, no rebirth or no rebirth, to definitely benefit. Therefore, for propagating this title, because all common sentient beings will be of great benefit. Such things we should do, whether they believe it or not, every hour of every minute upholds the desire to help all sentient beings, giving everyone the opportunity to hear the name of Buddha. If given the opportunity to introduce the scriptures to them, this merit will be greater.

From the 28th vow to the 43rd vow, the Buddha because sentient beings make it clear that, after he passed away to the world of Bliss, the circumstances of living there are very good. This is very closely related to us, because we will not soon come to that world, so first we have to understand and help our faith grow stronger and stronger. 















Meaning: When I became Buddha, my country had no unwholesome name. Beings born in my country all focus on the Chief Justice, no longer have the brain, the mind is cool, enjoy the peaceful life like Bhikkhu-stilts pirated. If there is still commemorating the desire to immerse yourself in the body, then you cannot swear to become Right Understanding. 

Lecture:

"When I became Buddha, my country had no unwholesome name." We think, this world has too many unwholesome deeds. And the world of Bliss does not have any unwholesome things, nor does it hear greed, hatred, ignorance, and ignorance. Thus, we can understand just how good the world is. 

"Beings born in my country all focus on the right concentration." This statement is inconceivable. Why is our disturbing world, Ta-grandma? All due to the mind of all beings are not the same, think not the same, think not the same, are too complicated. The ancients said: "The mind of people disagree, the other fate." Why are people not the same? In the mind of thought, the interpretation is not the same, so the appearance is not the same.

The appearance of each person in the Pure Land world is the same. Why? They all recite Buddha Amitabha's mind. Each person reciting Buddha's name, every person in his heart is Buddha, so transformed into the world of Amitabha Buddha, when he was reborn in that realm, he was Amitabha Buddha. This is very important. 

"Head into concentration." In the Dharma, there is a triangle, all types of sentient beings fall within these three groups: 

1 - Right concentration: the person who follows this method will definitely become a Buddha, this is called Jhana.





"No more disturbing emotions." The world of Bliss forever, without disturbing emotions, the mind is cool and free. "The mind is cool," for all things, without distinctions or attachments, so the mind is cool and free. This, we must study. In this world, very short lives, blink of an eye for several decades. We live with people, live with this society, should not calculate more than lose and then take on suffering, suddenly passed away. Therefore, intelligent people have to enlist recitation of Buddha's name to do good. The world of Pure Bliss often remains, without changing truth, to be born. This is called a true intelligent person, true enlightenment.

In this realm, we are like passersby, meeting at the same lodging, why calculate? Tomorrow must be on the road, should not consider it a homeland; The homeland is the world of Bliss. This is an inn, just temporary accommodation. It is okay for people who are good to me, not good. If so, my mind is very cool and cool, experiencing very happy days, a bit of negativity is not there. 

"Enjoy life peace as Bhikkhu-stilts pirated take." Gonorrhea take the Bhikkhu is A-la-Han, this is an example, in fact surpassed A-la-Han. A-la-Han although the negativity clean but intellect is not fullness. People in the world of Bliss, not only are they completely free of defilements, but their intellect is full. Thus, the A-la-Han is not comparable.

"If you still commemorating the desire to immerse yourself in the body, then swear not to become enlightened." There are some people who doubt that, when they come to the world of Ultimate Bliss and still grasp the ego and the law, do they still start thinking about themselves? All absolutely no. With the help of protection by the vow of Amitabha Buddha, we will no longer be rotten. If it is said that reciting greed, then this attachment to this body, also rot; but in that world there is no more corruption. 



Prayer 32: To be the body of Na-la-Dien. 

Prayer 33: Clarity of wisdom. 

Prayer 34: Skillful speaking of essential dharma.

Yin: Self-created Buddha, born of false nationality, good base of immeasurable, attain Kim Kim Na-la-diên body, solidified chi. Organic wealthy man, clear projection magic, necessarily intellectual achievements, infinite wealth gain plan. Friendly talks about the secret method, business theory, language as general. Fearless real atrium, immoral Chief Justice Awareness. 

Meaning: When I become a Buddha, sentient beings enter my country, have countless good roots, and have a solid body like indestructible metal. All his body have aura of illumination, all intellectual achievements, no endless means, wide speaking of the secret methods, teaching, practicing the sound of bells and bells. If that is not the case, swear not to become enlightened. 

Lecture:

"When I become a Buddha, sentient beings enter my country, have countless good roots, and have a solid body like an indestructible metal." The previous section on the cause is "good roots immeasurable". Because everyone recites Buddha's name, cultivates virtue and virtue, when he comes to the world of Ultimate Bliss, it is immeasurable goodness. How much, you have accumulated good base fear is not enough, Buddha Amitabha has majesty will support you, helping to make your small good base become large. Also practice other disciplines, without the help of Buddha. When cultivating this concept of reciting the Buddha's name, a small charity will have a great benevolence, so don't worry that you don't have good roots and no merit. Just study hard, this is the cause, and the retribution will be indestructible metal body. Buddha was special because sentient beings pointed out.

"Firmly solidified by Kimang Na-la-la", this is a prayer "to be solidly solid." The Great Dhamma of the Dharma, volume 41, says: "The golden treasure is a treasure made from gold, colored like his death, burned hundreds of times without destroying, the hardest, most durable, can cut even pearls, very rare. in the world, should be considered precious ". Kim cang is also the name of the mighty god, holding the handle of metal, called the god Kim Cang. 

Therefore, Kim Na-la-la-Dien signifies the vast, solid roundness of the Buddha's body and mind. Therefore, the Buddha made the vow to sentient beings in the realm of Blissful water, three solemn karmas, the body as hard as Kimang, the power as strong as Na-la-diên (translated as winning force), both are vindicated by the karmic body.

In Tantricism, attachment to Kim Cang, Kim Cang Thu, Kim Cang Slap, etc., are just different ways of translating, but the same name is the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra. Bodhisattva Pho Hien was originally the basis of Tantric Buddhism. When born into the world of Ultimate Bliss, you will achieve the great fulfillment in Tantra. We understand this doctrine, we just need to sincerely recite the Buddha's name, we don't need to learn Tantra, because this is the supreme secret dharma. This meaning is good!

"All my body has a radiant light, accomplishment of all intellect, endless remedy". Only here has the capacity to educate and save sentient beings. In it, "remedies" are essential, because all beings say the law. Every person born at the Pure Land is like Buddha, there is light on his body and the top of his head. But this light is weaker than Buddha's. This is the "light of saying wonderful magic." In light, the manifestation of the dharma is the luminous light itself, the clear light itself is the Dharma. "Achievements of all intellect". This is the fullness of wisdom of all. Intellect accomplishment, of course, is justified, the mind does not hesitate to measure, along with the same Tathagata. Bodhisattva's means of power are a truly profound and profound law, all worldly and worldly phenomena are all communicated, "broadly speaking" the right words, right and coarse.

"Teaching experience, directing". Discourse is a verbal education. Practicing is education through physical work. They are examples for us to follow. In any career, be an example of that profession. In the Hoa Nghiem Sutra, Dong Tu Thien Tai 53 times to study at the place of 53 good knowledge. Fifty-three of them all practice Samantabhadra. Among them, young men and women, the trades are not the same, every career they practice the Bodhisattva conduct. We have to study right here. Therefore, the practice includes a very broad meaning, which is to apply our compassion, wisdom, and practice to everyday life, to apply it in our own career, to our life and to our career. ours is the generosity of beings. In any profession, there are Bodhisattvas, everywhere the ashrams of Bodhisattvas of sentient beings, not necessarily at the temple. If we think that the pagoda is the only ashram of Bodhisattva is wrong. Bo-slaps in the family, the main family is ashrams; Bodhisattva in the school, the main school is ashram. Nowhere is the ashram of Bodhisattva.

"Sound like a bell," the meaning of the sound of the Bodhisattva preaching is sound like a clear, holy, eloquent sound, constantly echoing away, dispelling the long night, waking those who are deluded and causing them to broadcast. born of good mind, stop the suffering. Sounds have merit like bells, which contain infinite meaninglessness. 

Prayer 35: Best born of origin. 

Prayer 36: Education arbitrary. 

Yin: Buddha's time fell, possessing sentient beings, giving birth to false nationalities, saving all ends, giving birth to the country of origin. Except for the period of duty, the sentient beings who are trying, being sworn in, cultivated necessarily in love; Phat cen citta, Tu Bo-Hanh, Pho Hien Dao. But whether the world tha tha tha tha, vong ly wicked animal, or ridicule the law, or present god, arbitrary practice, endless dissatisfaction. Fearless real atrium, immoral Chief Justice Awareness.

Meaning: When I became a Buddha, sentient beings come into my country, determined to reach the level of being born in the first place (unless you are Enlightened), unless you make a great vow to return to birth, teach sentient beings, encourage the development of faith, cultivating Bodhisattva, doing Samantabhadra vows Whether born into another world, constantly leaving the evil path, or liking the sermon, listening to the dharma, or presenting the god, depending on the practice, they are all perfect. If that is not the case, swear not to become enlightened. 

Lecture: 

This is the vow of a life to become a Buddha. This prayer is very specific. Buddha because sentient beings say what guarantees the accomplishment of a Buddha. Up front, the Buddha made a vow: People born on the Pure Land become the Chief of Enlightenment, definitely attaining Supreme Bodhi. This prayer says a certain life witness to be born in Japan. This is the result of the Bodhisattva Enlightenment, the next life will become Buddha.

The masses in the world of Ultimate Bliss are Bodhisattvas, are fully knowledgeable, fully cultivated, compared to our true cultivation. They practice very well, "one practitioner, all practitioners", so they all can Rotten and surpass the person. As for the spiritual practice of the other world, the Bodhisattva has a third person: the Ten Believers, the Ten Pillars, and the Twelve Divers, each of which is a separate fruition, just like going to school differently, being the first year. , the second year, the third year, gradually ascending. 

The world of Ultimate Bliss is not like that, cultivating a dharma is cultivating all the dharma. For example, primary learners of the first year, including the curriculum of the second year, the curriculum of the High School and the University, also the curriculum of the doctoral degree. So no matter in any person, always full understanding, fully spiritual practice. The ultimate realms of marvelous supreme, so they have the certification of the Sovereign state.

"Determined to reach" is to assert a little confusion is no longer. It means that when we are born to the West of Ultimate Bliss, we very quickly become Buddhas. 

"Unless broad vows return to fertility, sentient beings, encouraging religious faith, practice of Bodhisattva, practicing Samantabhadra". The saying "Samantabhadra", we must understand that Western Bliss is the dharma realm of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, including those who die and practice Samantabhadra.

The Bodhisattvas have different aspirations. There are those who hope to become a Buddha soon, after becoming a Buddha, all sentient beings are broad. There are those who feel that sentient beings are so oversized that they don't become Buddhas and want to save sentient beings first. This prayer is very precious, but should know that, in order to save sentient beings, they must have the courage, without the courage, to be a mere prayer. As well as wanting to save people who are about to drown, I cannot swim. When I want to save people who are about to drown, I have to learn how to swim well first, then help people.

At present, there are many people who are interested, I am very rebellious. They do not vow to die, only pray to the next generation as a sage teaching sermons. However, when reincarnating has a body after, the previous life will be forgotten. They are enthusiastic, but intellect is not enough. We have to be born in the world of Ultimate Bliss to be absolutely correct.

Someone asked: When being born on the Pure Land, how long will it take to leave that realm to save sentient beings? The aspirations of Amitabha Buddha and the Pure Land Sutras do not say how long the limit must be in the Western world of Bliss. So easy, when we come to the West, we meet Buddha, bowing three times: "Amitabha Buddha! Do you want to save sentient beings? "Buddha firmly agreed. We have the will of sentient beings, Buddha will help, when we come to the world of Ta-she, no longer rotten enchanted. Such people are lucid. This is the correct method. Compared to the reincarnation, a shorter time, just met Buddha Amitabha can return. People have a wish before being, after becoming a Buddhist. But remember we must have the bravery, Buddha Amitabha will support help.

"Teach all sentient beings, transmitting trust". The discretionary education, must be truthful and effective. How to achieve effectiveness in education? Definitely have to know this sentient being with respect to the Buddha Amitabha and the Pure Land, with deep faith, earnestly making vows, sincerely reciting the Buddha's practice. Bodhisattva teaching sermon speaks French introduction, this is Bodhisattva himself vow to propagate, will be assisted by Amitabha Buddha, the listener is also supported by Buddha. If Buddha does not help, we hear sutta how can the mind be happy? If I listen to this practice, I feel very happy. Not that I preached well, this did not involve me, because the majestic deity of Amitabha Buddha is helping you so listen very smoothly, compared to me preaching more thoroughly. Since then, those who have heard all recite the Buddha's name, practice Samantabharma huan tu ten great vows of Bo-slapped Pho Hien. This is the practice of reaching the highest peak.

"Born into another world, always leaving evil paths." No matter where you go to lecture, the situation of the world that is worse will not be lost. These are all Buddha bless you, often take care of you, cannot let you fall. 

"Or like preaching, listening to the dharma or presenting the god". Here give a few examples, or like to teach sermons, they are both Bodhisattvas in the Blissful Bliss, reappear, or like to listen to the dharma, they are also Bodhisattvas, because the masses are cheering people. These people in a certain society have the status, ethical status, are respected by everyone. Whenever the magician spoke the dharma, they all came to listen, so others could see that the teacher was not bad at preaching.

When I went to Tainan to study Buddhism, or outside to teach. Layman Chau Quang Dan (my home teacher, when I was studying in Que Chau, he was the principal) came to listen every day, moreover sitting at the front. Each time he listened, he took notes carefully, and we saw them very respectfully. As for Mr. Li, I often took him as an example. You see my teacher has an ethical education, made no less career, an older age, listen to the same attentions. No comment anyone who teaches sermons, beginner lectures, he also carefully recorded. Over 90 years old he died.

"Or present god," is the supernatural manifestation, turn the present, but all because leading all sentient beings deep in the Pure Land, praying for rebirth. If the magic that teaches people not to recite the Buddha's ghost appears. And Bo-slapped from the Bliss to appear certain advice reciting Buddha Amitabha, for the Pure Land method of deep doubt, the prayer of rebirth is right. This corresponds to the sutta. This person is the Bodhisattva in the West reborn. 

"Depending on the practice, all are full". It is up to us to cultivate for the sake of all sentient beings, to accomplish sentient beings, to receive the teachings of Buddha Amitabha and all the Buddhas, to rejoice in reciting Buddha's name for the Pure Land. 

Prayer 37: Medicine really comes. 

Prayer 38: Depending on the concept of worship.

Yin: The Buddha's self, the birth of false nationality, the Department of food, clothes, strains of offerings, arbitrary willpower, and dissatisfaction. Cross of the Buddhas, recite the concept of offerings to life. Fearless real atrium, immoral Chief Justice Awareness. 

Meaning: When I became a Buddha, sentient beings enter my country, if they want to eat, drink, dress or need things to think about, there will be nothing like them. If you start reciting the offerings to the Buddhas of the ten directions, you will be satisfied. If that is not the case, swear not to become enlightened. 

Lecture:

"When I become a Buddha, sentient beings enter my country, if they want to eat, drink, wear what they need, immediately think of it, nothing will go wrong." This prayer, for sentient beings in the ten directions of the world, is greatly related. Beings in the six realms, the heavens a little better, because great merit no longer worries about material life. However, from the human realms downwards, life is relatively difficult, life is not easy. Therefore, the ancients used to say: "Dharma of the reincarnation, real rotation", that is, firstly, eat and dress warmly, then you can learn Buddha. If three meals are not satisfied, but where to learn Buddha mind. Thus, we can realize that this life has a lot of burdens, so Shakyamuni Buddha introduced the material life in the West to the discretion of living beings, without having to worry or worry. joint; clothes, food,

Newcomers to the West of Great Bliss, the eating habits are not over, when the idea of ​​wanting to eat, the food immediately laid out in front of them, there is no need to prepare but also enough hundred dishes, just like the King when eating. Hundreds of dishes, whether you eat or not. When the food appeared, they started to think that they were no longer ordinary, no longer needed to eat, and immediately the food disappeared, without bothering to clean up the dishes.

From that on, the world of Bliss is very good. Depending on the idea that turned out, really can not think. Palace to stay clean, glossy without a grain of dust, neat and tidy, a little bit of impurities also. When a visitor comes, the seats immediately show up, the guests leave then disappear empty, do not need to clean, renovate, depending on their mind wants everything to disappear. In the West, everyone has this ability, has this magical power, this is all due to the duty of Amitabha Buddha.

"If you start reciting the offerings to the Buddhas of the ten directions, you will be satisfied. If that is not the case, swear not to become enlightened. ” The worship of Buddha to the people at the Pure Land is very important. Every day, they do not need to work, life is very free, gold and silver as well as everything you want as much, arbitrary outward endless, material life is very rich. Because they can, depending on the idea, appear. In the heart want to make offerings, for any Buddha, the Buddha will immediately accept the offer and receive the offering (this is not available in the other world).

Offering the Buddha is a great practice. Offering Buddha will definitely hear the Dharma, listen to the Dharma will achieve great wisdom. Right here, we know well that the daily life of people in the West is so free, offering Buddha everyday. Bo-slaps go the chemical beings. The scope of activities is to take nowhere, not just in the Pure Land world. When you want to come to any world, instant thoughts come, let alone people in that realm, everyone has the magical powers. Spiritual information is able to split, incarnation is like Buddha, the incarnation of thousands of memories means that the manifesting body according to the mind of beings. These two sentences are depending on the type of reincarnation, how the sentient being looks, they appear like that, being enlarged. 

Prayer 39: Solemn endless.

Yin: Buddha's self in time, the Chinese nation of things, strictness, brightness, special shape, and wonderful micro, powerlessness. States sentient beings, although specific Thien label, useful justification of colors, optical generals, numbers, counterfeit, general, Prime Minister. 

Meaning: When I became Buddha, all things in the realm of my country were solemn, pure and dazzling, incomparably wonderful images, even though the Heavenly Eye could not describe the beauty of colors and images. magnificent generals and the number of sentient beings there, etc. If that is not the case, swear not to become enlightened. 

Lecture:

"When I became a Buddha, all things in the realm of my country were solemn, pure and bright, the shape of miraculous fury beyond description." This paragraph talks about the situation, the situation in the world of Bliss. Buddha briefly introduced a few things, from which we can know how good the situation in that country is.

In general, all things in the realms are solemn and serene, because all the physical things are created. The area in the West compared to this planet, vastly countless times, cannot be counted. The soil in this realm is sandy sand, not clean; land in Pure Bliss by borage. What is borage? People often call it jade or hazelnut. This type is very rare, if there is a little to make a piece of pearl pierced on the strap, used as very beautiful jewelry. But hazel, that crystal is the land of the West of Pure Bliss. So, from the surface can be seen underground. So, the soil in that realm is better than non-interesting in this realm, because hazy here also has impurities, not completely transparent. In the sutras, it is said that pure gold makes land and makes roads. On earth the hazel ground was covered with pure gold. Pure gold is used to make roads.

"Glorious" is a beautiful brilliance. It is a brilliant clarity. Very strange shape, not the world has. "Vi marvelous enemies", because all things are from the nature as the legs appear. The kind of quantity that is too much "indescribable" cannot be said. 

"Even if you have the Heavenly Eye, it is impossible to describe the beauty of the appearance, the magnificent appearance and the number of sentient beings there, etc. If it is not so, you cannot swear to become enlightened." This is to say that the Bodhisattvas in the West of Bliss, many, are helped by the majesty of the Buddha Amitabha, but these Bodhisattvas themselves cannot know the number of sentient beings in the realm of water. there. Only the Buddha and the Buddha know, but from the Bodhisattva of the Enlightenment or lower can not know The 

above was in general about the beautiful materialistic situation of the Western world of Ultimate Bliss.

Prayer 40: There are countless precious trees. 

Prayer 41: Deploying the Buddha realms. 

Yin: Buddha's time fall, Chinese infinite amount of quality, high or heavenly do-week. Directed high receptors, four great interests. Chu Bo-slapped central, but friendly property based paralysis, herons willow tri tri; education about the Buddhas, the Pure Land solemn, all the life expectancy of ants, due to such smart glass, pouring an image. Any real fake, immoral Chief Justice Awareness. 

Meaning: When I became Buddha, countless ornamental plants in the realm of water had countless colors, hundreds of thousands of do-weeks. Plant made ashram four hundred thousand miles high. In the Bodhisattvas, even the low-minded can also know. If you want to see the stately pure realms of the Buddhas, though in the treasure tree you can see clearly everything you see in the mirror. If that is not the case, swear not to become enlightened. 

Lecture:

"When I became a Buddha, myriad ornamental plants in the water had infinite colors." In all material appearances, Buddha takes the example of trees. In our imagination, flowers and plants are very popular, so Buddha gave this example. In the Land of Great Bliss, the trees have countless brilliant colors, because all of them are composed of seven treasures, which grow in upright rows and equal trunks. The height of the tree is hundred thousand do-weeks. Because week is a measure of the length of ancient India. In the week has great, middle, small. Great do-weeks equals 80 miles of China, median do-weeks equals 60 miles, minor do-weeks equals 40 miles. Miles in the past, compared to today is shorter.

Great Master Hoai Nhat divided the law into 31 categories, including a heavenly continent. He has surveys, evidence about the measurement of the Chau Dynasty. One meter at that time compared to our current one by only six inches. So in the Sutta said the old body was 2 meters high, we understand this is not strange. The height of the trunk in the Pure Land is very high, if you take hundreds of thousands of do-weeks to calculate then shoot the tree high to the moon. Why are trees so high? Because the people in that country, their bodies are also very tall. Our body in this world compared to the human body in the West of Great Bliss is equal to an ant. Because we are so few merit, so small body.

In a song praising the Buddha Amitabha said: “Non-five courts turn white. Four sea water in endless eyes ”. Such a tall Buddha body, every person in Bliss also has a body like Buddha. So it should be understood, the height of the trees in the West must be commensurate with the human body in that country. 

"Tree made ashram four hundred thousand miles high." The section on the aspirational achievement of the Amitayus Sutta says, "Again, because of seeing that tree, nature naturally attains three kinds of rings, one is Yin resonance, two is Nhu Thuan rings, three is Infertility." Bodhi tree that can make people see the natural enlightenment, the certificate of infertility in France. Merit that tree is extremely rare, hard to think. Therefore, the tree is due to the profound solemn mind of the four aspirations of Buddha Amitabha appearing.

The ashram is the place where Buddha speaks the dharma and teaches the sutras, where there are many, each with Buddha incarnations. So here you have to understand where the sambhogakaya Buddha says. However, in the West, the Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya and Nirmanakaya all come together, up to four degrees. Therefore, the Buddha speaks Dharma everywhere, everywhere you can see it. 

"If you want to see the stately pure realms of the Buddhas, even in the treasure tree you will see all things as seen in the mirror." This is very rare. When we come to the Land of Bliss, we remember thinking about the world of Ta-Ba, wanting to know what the situation was like, then immediately the sight of Ta-she appeared in the trees was like watching Figure, see clearly see no omission, no need to use natural label. How hostile! Want to see which realms the general state of that realm appears. 



Prayer 42: Projection throughout the ten directions.

Yin: The Buddha's cross, the time of Buddha's residence, the serious adversary, the light like glass, the ability to think, the Buddhas of the world. Beings fall fake, born of mind. If any of the fake 

realm , immobilization of the Right Understanding : When I became a Buddha, the realm of water was widely experienced. Shining like a mirror, shone through countless countless countless thoughtless worlds of Buddhas in all ten directions, sentient beings are born and the mind is born. If that is not the case, swear not to become enlightened. 

Lecture: 

"The vast realm is serene, shining like a mirror", because the world of Great Bliss is made up of all the precious substances, pure and free of dust, and light, so this world is also called light world. In the world of Bliss, the light of Buddha not only shines throughout that realm, but also shines light throughout all ten directions of Buddha's realm.

"Sentient sentient beings then see birth and hope." If sentient beings either use the celestial eye to see, or are intending to see, deferring due to predestined special conditions to see the light of Buddha, the blissful realm of samadhi, there is bound to arise a rare mind of admiration. 

Prayer 43: Fragrant treasures burst through. 

Yin: Buddha's time fell, the lower part of the earth, the upper air, the palace floor, the flower shop, the national possession, necessarily everything, immeasurable stage, the protection of the city. United spectrum spectrum, the world. Sentient beings, false Buddhist monastic life. Any real fake, immoral Chief Justice Awareness.

Meaning: When I became a Buddha, exalted in the earth, on the emptiness, all things, the palace of the floor, the pond, the flowers, etc ... in the water were all due to the boundless aroma of incense, the aroma everywhere. in the ten directions of the world, all sentient beings who can smell the Buddha's teachings, if they are not, swear not to become Right Understanding. 

Lecture: 

"When I became a Buddha, I was on the earth, on emptiness, on all things, on the palace." This place is clearly the palace. The Buddha said this sutra was three thousand years ago in India, at that time the palace was different from China, completely different. I heard that the palace immediately thought of the shape of the curved roof. So to understand, "supply" is a private housing; "Electricity" is a place to teach and speak dharma, a place to do community work.

So sentient beings throughout the ten beings to the Western Land of Great Bliss, where they want to be, immediately show that style, which is absolutely not similar, because the liking of people is not the same. This is something everyone has to understand. Houses with two or more floors are called floors. 

"Fragrance", is said in the loss of the pond, "flowers etc ... in water are due to countless mature incense sure". Practically speaking, this is incense. In the foot as nature, full of incense, not from the outside, all things emit scent. This type of incense has burst through the ten directions. Those who are destined, are miraculous, can smell. People without intention, without magical powers, but with special conditions, can also smell it.

I think, even among those who practice, when reciting Buddha's name or reciting a Buddha's seat, when they touch, they will smell a strange scent. This scent is not present in the human world, so far it has never been smelled. I had this experience myself. I also heard that there are a few monks, going out to the garden at night, discussing Buddha Dharma, suddenly having a very strong fragrance, for a long time, about three or four minutes to fly, this is a very strange smell, people have never smelled it. by. Later, they came to ask me, not one person that 5, 6 people all smell. Therefore, knowing that this is not a lie, due to a special predestined relationship, thanks to the Buddha's help to increase your faith.

In reality, the virtue is dominated throughout the dharma realm. "Sentient beings can all practice Buddhism." Having this induction, faith will grow, the wish will grow. This is not a lie, he or she will have this experience by himself. 

In summary, the two above vows are "Solemn Huong Huong". Buddha brought light and scent to ten beings of the dharma realm. Bringing about the living conditions in the West of Bliss because of sentient beings 

In the next paragraph, Buddha Amitabha was very compassionate, he was special because of the other Bodhisattva. Other Bodhisattvas hear the name of Buddha Amitabha, in their hearts, very happy, very reverent. Although those Bodhisattvas did not make vows to the West, Amitabha Buddha also helped them. Why? Because this Bodhisattva praises the Pure Land, advises people to be reborn. 

Prayer 44: Spectrum Tam-soot.

Prayer 45: In the Buddha's offerings. 

Yin: The Buddha's self-departure, the Buddha's cross, the Bodhisattvas slapped them, the written self, the privileged stage, the purity, the liberation, the Universal Samma, the profound characters; Tam-ma-geography, even the Buddha. Concentration is usually offered, boundless boundless, necessarily Buddhas, unintentional. Any real fake, immoral Chief Justice Awareness. 

Meaning: When I became a Buddha, the Bodhisattvas in the ten directions of Buddha, listened to my name, and all were purified and liberated. . In spite of being in samadhi, there are countless boundless offerings of Buddhas that still don't lose their intention (concentration of concentration). If that is not the case, swear not to become enlightened. 



Lecture:

This prayer presents the benefits of the Bodhisattvas of the ten directions when hearing the name of Buddha Amitabha. The compassionate mind of Buddha is extremely large, without banks, the three upper and lower bases are reborn, the pure land of Amitabha Buddha is completely unlimited, so we must definitely recite. Buddha, to recite Amitayus, Amitabha Sutta. 

In the sutras: The Mahayana cultivators, without any dharma disciplines, need only sufficient credit - prayer, even the mind to dedicate to the Pure Land's birth, thus all will be reborn. So, whatever people chant, recite what, or recite the name of the Buddha, any Bodhisattva, just pray for the Pure Land and give birth to them. The practice of reciting the Buddha's name is immeasurably vast.

"When I became a Buddha, the Bodhisattvas in the ten directions of Buddha, listened to my name, and all were purified and liberated. This passage talks about the Bodhisattva rows in the Buddha realms throughout the ten directions, not ordinary beings. These Bodhisattvas must also have sufficient good roots, blessings, and conditions to be able to hear these six words.

In the Sutta said many times, the merit of hearing the name of Buddha cannot be thought of. From there the Bodhisattvas can hear and receive the Infinite Life. If the Bodhisattva does not yet have the vow to take rebirth, he must be in the vast world of sentient beings. What methods do you use to save? It is advising people to recite the Buddha's name for the Pure Land, so they should be assisted by the deity of the Buddha Amitabha. This duty is Buddha's last vow. Buddha Amitabha must assist these Bodhisattvas, making them in all material and human circumstances of the water keep their mind and body pure, without being polluted by external circumstances. . This is the Buddha A-di-da protection, because Bodhisattva is still sentient beings, definitely not starting to expect attachments, greed, liberation.

"Universality" is commonplace equality. The minds of the Bodhisattvas and the Buddha mind are the same. "Tam-soot" is reciting Buddha Tam-soot extremely enemies. The other Bodhisattvas do not know, these Bodhisattvas know well. This must be thorough awareness. So this practice, all the Buddhas are popularly propagated, why are there unknown Bodhisattvas? In fact, the Bodhisattvas do not know this method very much. Just like in this world, we try our best to spread the spread of the Pure Land, making many people, including those who do not recite Buddha's name, your religions like Christianity to know the Buddha Amitabha. Although they know it, they do not believe, if they do not wish, they will not know. So, a lot of Bodhisattvas are like this situation, called without hearing. This meaning is to see but to see, to hear but not to hear, because there is no faith - vow.

"General subjects". The Sanskrit master is called Da-la-ni. "General" all things, "maintain" all the ideas, as well as the credo that the present is often talked about. Means the credo of all Buddha Dharma. In the course of discourse, good faith in snow cannot be lost. We know to be virtuous, to be happy, to be charitable, and to have the opportunity to practice. If there is no chance, even if you want to improve, you will not achieve. Every opportunity, Bodhisattva can take, not to lose. This is very difficult! Evil deeds, evil words, evil thoughts, do not generate. In the course of practice, this is an extremely important platform. 

"Go to Tam-ma-ge." In the Sutta-strictly speaking, Tam-ma-geography is the name of meditation. So this place means to stay in concentration, to become Right Understanding. These Bodhisattvas hear the name of the Buddha to gain immense benefits.

"While in concentration, often offering countless boundless Buddhas still does not lose intention (right concentration)." This kind of vengeful interest, the previous section we have noticed. There are Bodhisattvas who hear the name of Buddha Amitabha, but who don't volunteer to go to the West to get these benefits? All benefit. Upper-level Bodhisattva, or Bodhisattva is not regressive, those from Interior Location upwards, without the help of Buddha, also have this power. However, from the Seven Landwards and below, there is no such power, the wisdom, the magical powers, the power are not so great. If supported by the god of Buddha A-di-da, the power of the Bodhisattva will be enhanced, like the Bodhisattva-level-seven-door-door, Bat-land, Nine-land. They can stay in a multitude of boundless offerings of the Buddhas. So, with no one born in the West is any different, This benefit is similar. So, Amitabha Buddha's mind is equal, absolutely without distinction, truly pure equality. We should study the mind of Buddha. How to learn?

Today in Buddhism there are many sects. In addition to Pure Land, there are Zen Zong, Tantric, Thien Thai and so on. People who follow Thien Thai Buddhism are also few, and others follow the Dharma General Duy formula. We should not have the attitude that the Pure Land is superlative, the other disciplines are not equal. Thus began to distinguish attachments, high drain conceit, then can not be compatible with Buddha Amitabha. For all, Buddha is equal. For everyone, we must be equally, nothing. Regardless of which practitioner he practices, I definitely have to rejoice, not to praise myself. In the Bodhisattva world, this belongs to the first precept. Because all the Buddhas are spoken by Buddha. If we praise our own dharma practice and destroy the others' dharma practice, we destroy the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha panels.

Therefore, everyone must learn like Buddha, using the mind to treat them equally. The person with respect to the concept of reciting the Buddha's name can believe and understand, that the good root has matured from countless lives. There are those who hear but do not believe, do not vow to rebirth, and even decry, because this person is not mature enough, should not blame them. This discipline is called unbelievable dharma, so our mind must be kept pure. This is in concentration can worship Buddha, without losing the right concentration, is not being turned by external circumstances. 

Prayer 46: Be the total subject (Da-la-ni). 

May 47: Listen to the name of the law. 

Prayer 48: Currently the evidence is too rotten.

Yin: Buddha's self-departure, forgetting the world, the Bodhisattvas slapping them, writing the false name, proof of birth, and the plan of Da-la-ni. Pure wedding Festival, attained equality, tu Bodhisattva conduct, specific virtue, improvisation, the first two rings, U Buddhas, incapacity to show evidence, Any rot turning fake, any Prime Minister . 

Meaning: When I became a Buddha, the Bodhisattvas in other worlds heard my name, attained the Ly Sinh dharma, were able to enter Da-la-ni, pure joy, rejoice in the form of equality and cultivation. Bodhisattva, full of virtue without witnessing the three legal rings, where the Buddha's Dharma does not witness the level of Real recession, vows not to become Right Understanding. 



Lecture:

The previous paragraph said, they Bodhisattva in the Buddha realms throughout the ten directions, this paragraph says they are Bodhisattvas in the other world, similar meanings. These Bodhisattva rows are not in the world of Bliss. 

"Listen to my title." Listening has included credit - prize, joy, favorite, for Amitabha Buddha reincarnated, but not reborn. This Bodhisattva can bring this method of teaching sentient beings, bound to be assisted by Buddha. 

"Proof of birth, the subjects of Da-la-ni". "Birth" means life and death. There are two types: Samsara and Samsara. We are ordinary men and women, both types of samsara.

The segment is a period, from birth to death is a stage, after death and reincarnation, birth and death. Therefore the Buddha said, samsara is tired, never stopping, Buddha's eyes see sentient beings so pitifully. Beings have no way of escaping the six paths of reincarnation. 

Translations are transformations. This is very small, but it can still be observed. As said next year older than the previous year, this is the translation. In fact, is next year older than the previous year? Indeed, next month is older than last month, this week is older than last week, today is older than yesterday. I think, this everyone agrees.

If more subtle, this moment is older than the previous moment. This is called Samsara. As A-la-Han and above have passed the segment of life and death, the saying is "willow birth and death, transcending samsara". Although the Samsara segment no longer exists, this vital variable. Bo-slapped Enlightenment still an ignorant generals, not yet a final transformation. 

"Proof of birth" is to clearly state two types of birth and death completely no longer, this is the realms of Bodhisattva Upper Earth. Amitabha Buddha helped the Bodhisattvas with the birth of the Dharma. Easier to understand, is permanently escaped from the Three Realms. Speaking in depth, protected by the Buddha, this Bodhisattva escapes these two types of samsara. 

"To be Da-la-ni subjects." Da-ni-ni is the name pink. Bodhisattva in the other direction heard the name of Buddha, the mind immediately dwells with the six words.

Someone asked: Bodhisattva recite Buddha, why not pray for rebirth? 

Each Bodhisattva has the same vow. There are Bodhisattvas who listen to the Pure Land method, immediately recite Buddha's name for rebirth to become a Buddha, after becoming a Buddha, they will be sentient. 

There are Bodhisattvas who only wish for the protection of Buddha's power, of all sentient beings, until they become Buddhas and then after I become Buddha.

But, should know Bo-slaps must overcome the three realms, have this new field to help sentient beings. Nowadays, we have received the Bodhisattva precepts and learned according to the vow of the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, it is not okay, because we do not have this bravery, the defilements are not completely clean, we must suffer samsara. So we have a wide-ranging wish for sentient beings that cannot be realized, just a vow to be empty. Therefore, we must be born in the West of Bliss, or else we must at least get rid of ants and impurities in the samsara.

Bodhisattva reciting Buddha's name, being helped by the power of Buddha, Bodhisattva's self-liberation is wide and wide, so there is no need for each other to die. So this Buddha's vow is to tell these Bodhisattvas. In fact, it's not for us to say, because we are not yet Bo-slapped. People should not misunderstand that the Bodhisattva ordination takes the instant of Bodhisattva. That is the Bodhisattva name itself, Bodhisattva by land only, not real. This is something that I have to understand clearly.

"Pure happiness, remaining in the same form". Listening to the name of Buddha, arising of faith, understanding throughout morality, joyful mind, dwell in the place of equal merit, abide in the place of equal discipline. Equal disciplines are the title of Buddha and the Infinite Life. Equality is the general form of all dharma, so why is it that people in the mind are not equal, for what reason? Because people have the mind of discrimination and delusion. This mind is false, not equal, so seeing the outside world is not equal. We bring the realm of Japan into the ten realms. This is from the inductive platform, actually, immeasurable dharma realm.

Based on good beings can practice Bodhisattva conduct, can also learn Bodhisattva, can also equality head. So, we, with respect to the Buddha Amitabha, to the sutras of Pure Land Buddhism, have seen the generals hearing the name. Thanks to the Buddha's help to protect, can receive merit wins. Equality mind, like that can be equal France. 



The place of using the practice, the key is continuous mindfulness, until elaborately accomplished, recite without reciting, not reciting but reciting. This is to be cylindrical equality. The practice is such a genuine Bodhisattva.



In Zen Buddhism, Luc To says his object is the ultimate. Why? The First Jhana in Lust has left sex, that is, the five desires (money, beauty, fame, eating, sleeping) are no more. We think, do we still have a heart for these five things? If there is still the mind, obviously still in the Land of Sex, there is no part in the First Jhana. From that know, it is not easy! 

I have taught the Sutta Kim Cang, Dharma Bao Dan, Certificate of Dao Ca of Zen master Vinh Gia. Someone asked: Why don't you practice meditation? I honestly say, the five desires I have not finished yet. As for Pure Land, not ending the year this desire is still reborn. This disciplines thanks to the power of the Buddha continued to lead, bring birth karma, just restraint it is good enough, no paragraph.

From past to present, people who recite Buddha's name are reborn without counting. In the Pure Land of the Sage, the Story of the Resurrection, it is all recorded because of hearing. There are still many people who die but do not know the quantity. The new know the hostility of this method. Great Master Vinh Minh said: "All people cultivate, all humans die." 

"Three rings", this is hearing the name of the Buddha's three legal rings, also thanks to Amitabha Buddha for help. Three things are: Yin resonance rings, Demand favorable rings, Infertility legal rings. 

In the book of Amitabha Long Life Sutta, Volume 5, explained as follows: 

1 - Sound of rings: due to sound, echo that enlightens the truth. 
2 - The need for patience: wisdom is the desire to follow, according to the truth.
3 - Infertility measures: the true nature of birth and death does not kill of the law. This is the highest place in enlightenment. 

King Kinh-Bat-elegant said there are five things: Resurrection, Belief, Prosperity, Infertility, Dharma, and President to kill the ring. 

The Book of the King Vuong Tu Ky said: “The land, the Second place, the Three places and the privilege of smuggling are called Believers; Quartet, Five Continent, Continent towards Infertility should be called Thuan rings; Interior location, Bat location, Nine realms of life expectation should be called Infertility legal rings; Cross, Noble senses are Bodhi fruit should be called President to kill rings. " 

Assigning three rings in this great vow is: 

1 - Yin resonance rings: including Bodhisattva Landlords, Nhi, Tam Dia. 
2 - Depending upon the rings: including Bodhisattva Four locations, Five regions, Continents. 
3 - Infertility measures: including Bo-slapped That location, Bat location, Nine locations

The main idea of ​​this great vow is that, Bodhisattva has not yet registered in Tam Hien, but is protected by Buddha A-di-da, which immediately elevates his status to Upper Bodhisattva. 

"In the Buddha's Dharma, without being able to see the rottenness, swears not to become Right Understanding". Stating that the Bodhisattva rows in the other world are now the same as the Bodhisattvas in the Pure Land world, fully witnessing three things. From here it can be understood that the three main types of rings are the Bodhisattva Venerable. This is the Buddha Amitabha for the merit of listening to the Buddha's name of the Bodhisattvas of the ten directions, he all helps.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.2/9/2019.
