The Selfless Sutta.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

(Anattalakkhana Sutta)

SALUTATORY

The Sūtra is the second Sutta given by Buddha, after the Zhuan Falun.

After the Path of Taoism under a Bodhi tree, at Bodhgaya, Buddha Shakyamuni went to the South, went to the land of Three Complaints, sought the five brothers Kieu Tran Nhu, to preach the Dharma to them.

At Deer Park, he taught the Falun Dafa Sutta to the five monks who had previously lived with Prince Siddhartha when I was austere. In the Zhuan Falun, the Buddha pointed out the path of the Middle Way, elaborating the four Noble Truths (the Four Noble Truths)  and the path to the attainment of the fruit, escape from samsara and attain Nirvana, ie the Noble Eightfold Path.After the Dharma, Mr. Kieu Tran Nhu  (Kondanna)  witnessed the fruits of Tu da huan huong.

Four monks were his other-sa-ba Ba  (Vappa),  Bat-threads  (Bhaddiya),  Ma-ha-male (Mahanama)  and ace-pad  (Assaji)  has yet attained. The Buddha immediately stayed here and continued to lecture on the Sàtra General, aiming to help the remaining four monks to enter the stream of Holy water. Thus, the Sūtra is the second sutta in the Sutta Pitaka.

General idea

In order to break the attachment to self-  belief, this false belief in body and mind is Me, the Buddha preached the  Selfless Sutta to the five monks, showing how to contemplate the truth that the body and mind of the five aggregates are not Ta , is not My, is not My Self.

Again, in the Zhuan Falun, the Buddha taught:

- Place of Suffering:  ... In summary, the five aggregates are suffering.

- Place of the Noble Truth (cause of suffering): ... it is this craving that leads to rebirth, friendship with joy and greed, seeking happiness and happiness here and there. Ie craving, organic, non-organic.

- Place of Destruction: ...  is the greed, the cessation, there is no remnant of that craving, abandonment, renunciation, liberation, without attachments.

In this Selfless Sutta, following the Law on Zhuan Falun, the Buddha further points out:

- Where the  body and mind of the five aggregates ,  colors, feelings  , thoughts, actions, and consciousness,  because they lead to Suffering and Illness, they are not Ta.

-  For each aggregate,  I  can not control them, make them just for  me,  so five aggregates  is not me.

- The  five aggregates are  impermanent, suffering, and disappearing,  so they are  not Ta.

Great Discourse on teaching: When observing correct  as true  that the  body and mind in aggregates is not I,  practitioners engenders boredom ( = coveralls cup ) for the five aggregates and thus leave the  craving that  deliverance  from the illegal or.

In short, the Selfless Sutras complement the Zhuan Falun, pointing out the way of breaking down the attachment to the body and mind of these five aggregates, taking that self  ,  the  self,  which is not real and an evil. ants need to wipe out the pure mind.

Explain

The Selfless Sutta

Sutta =  a text recorded by the Buddha or Bodhisattvas preaching teachings and practices. Tripitaka Sutta =  three basket of Sutras, including: (1)  Vinaya,  record the precepts set by the Buddha that austerities must follow; (2)  scriptures,  include the many texts,  Digha, the Ministry of Economy, Samyutta Beijing, Anguttara Economics  and State Ministry of Economics : (3)  Abhidharma,  composed  Abhidharmic (A Pi ma)  and the commentaries further explain the instructions in the Sutta Pitaka.

Selflessness: Nothing = nothing; Self =  Ta; Chess =  appearance Selflessness =  there is no self, it is not us, not our self. In simple terms, this sutta proves that the  body and mind of  man are not  Ta; in this body and mind there is nothing quintessential, often, firm to call it the Self; in the body and mind of the five aggregates, there is no one who stands as the owner to call it Ta.

One time, World Religion in Bàrànasi ...:  Normally, each edition of the Sutta begins with the sentence:  I sound like this (Like a fork in the text),  that is the words of Ananda, the attendant of the Buddha Shakyamuni, listen to the Sutta and repeat. Because this Sutta was spoken at the time when Buddha had just attained enlightenment, Ananda was still not a monk, so the sentence was not found. For a while,  here, according to Buddhist history, it was about a couple of days after the Buddha preached the Zhuan Falun on the night of the full moon in July.

World Religion: World =  world; revered =  revered. Religion  is frustrating both the world, God and Him, are respected. This is one of the ten titles of the Buddha. While He was still in the world, His disciples called Him  World Religion,  and Buddha, He called himself  Tathagata.

Bàrànasi (Ba la complaint):  the former name of the city of Varanasi, Utta Pradesh state, India, located on the banks of the Ganges. There are many Buddhist relics here.

Isipatana:  garden of Chu Tien district of origin; There have been many traditions in the past.

Deer Park Garden:  deer garden; Loc =  deer; Uyên =  flower garden

Five monks: Bhikkhu =  Buddhist monk, Pali sound is  Bhikkhu  , ordained monk, ordained 250 precepts. These five monks previously practiced asceticism together with the disciple Sa (the name of Shakyamuni Buddha before they became enlightened). Those were them: Kieu Tran, Ba Sa Ba, Bat De, Ma Ha Nam and Ace.

Paragraphs 1) and 2):  The first two paragraphs of the Sutta indicate in which circumstances the Buddha preached this Sutta. According to the Mahayana teachings, sub-paragraph 1) is called  the self  -recorded  record record credits: faith, literature, time, owner, land, they; in this business only 4 credits: time  (One time), owner  (World Religion), the  land  (Ba la complaint, garden of grace),  they  (the five monks); missing 2 credits: credit  and  literature (I heard like this). Paragraph 2) is called the  distinct character.

[ Conspiracy  is the common title for every sutta. The special name  is a proper title for a sutta. Six records of evidence of the  six types of evidence to prove that the Sutta was actually Buddha, when, where, anyone attended.]

Identity =  color, that is shape and color. Broad sense of  identity  is the physical part. Here the word Sac  again means  body, which is the physical body and mind ,  which is full of senses and organs.

Egolessness =  not  Ta.

"Hope that my identity is like this, ... not like this":  This verse implies that:  I want my identity to conform to my will and become like this, (must be better ); or my identity must follow my command and not become like this, (don't be so ugly like this). In other words,  Sac  is not-self, not Ta,  because  Sac  does not follow  My will, I don't allow  Me  to make it, or obey My commands  .

Feeling =  feeling, feeling, that is, the knowing in the body and mind which has feelings such as heat, cold, pain, numbness, happiness, misery, passion, etc. Buddhism learns to distinguish the three types of  emotions. feeling:  (1)  feeling life (= unpleasant feeling), (2)  feeling pleasant  (= feeling comfortable, happy) and (3)  infinite  feeling (= neutral, neither happy nor miserable) ).

Thought =  thought, perception, that is, ideas that arise in the mind, because there is contact between the five senses and the external scene, and between the mind and the mind within the mind. Thought is  also called mindfulness: mindfulness  is the right thought; And  delusion  is the wrong idea.

Action =  action, which is what happens outside, verbally or physically, and inside, by thought.Thought arises in the mind, causing the mind to become active, which is the  mind of action. Forms of mind movement are also called  mental states; has all 52  mental states,  so in this Sutta called  the act  (paragraph 8).

Consciousness =  awareness happens in the mind. Due to the contact between  the eye (eye-sense)  and  the external scene  , there is an  eye-consciousness,  if attention is paid to it. There are six consciousness:  visual consciousness, atria, envy, loss, body,  and consciousness. Mahayana teachings have more and more  na-na  (also known as  evangelization, this seventh consciousness makes us  accept the self  ); and  a re-skin method  (also called the subconscious mind,  where to store the  seeds  of good and evil has caused in the past).

Paragraphs 3) to 11) consider the  five aggregates: aggregates, sensations, aggregates, and aggregates.

Prime aggregates =  also known as  warm. Prime =  hold on; aggregates = aggregated  into groups, with a fuzzy nature.

Because mankind clings to the five aggregates, assuming that it is  Me, the  Buddha in the recent passages proves that  there is no aggregation of Me, Me, or  Self  .

Ego: Self =  self; Self =  Me Word  ego  implies the essence, the core in the interior of the remaining after removal dependencies go, there is something new called  me  really .

In the sentence  "... not mine, not mine, not my self", we  should recognize the gradual (incremental increase) in the idea: my word  (= Self Department), which  is the thing, or the work outside of  Me,  comes right on My own body  (= Self),  even to the essence, the inner core of Me (= My Self).  In other words, (1)  is mine,  but outside of me, (2)  is me , is on my body  ,  (3) is my self,  then it is the core of  me  ; if give up my self  go ,  then nothing can all drain to call it Me  too.

Impermanence: Nothing =  nothing; Usually =  often there, there is always nostalgic. Impermanence is transformed, not permanent  ; is there, tomorrow is gone.

Suffering =  suffering, being uncomfortable, unsatisfied, or not being satisfied because it causes discomfort.

Lac =  happy.

Vandalism: Variables =  change, not maintaining the shape and nature; Destroyed =  damaged, destroyed. Vandalism  is the change that leads to ruin and destruction.

Quan =  observe carefully and thoroughly, using wisdom to shine closer to the truth.

The passages from 12) to 16)  prove that the  five aggregates are impermanent, suffering and suffering perversion, so having to  contemplate  them (the five aggregates) is not  of Me, is  Me,  is our  Self.

Past =  time has passed. Too =  passed; Past =  go.

Futuristic  = time is coming. Taste =  not yet; Lai =  to.

Present =  time right while speaking. Show = in  front of here; Because =  in this place here.

Internal =  inside; Foreign =  external

Rough =  rude, clumsy; Delicate =  delicate, skillful.

Paralysis =  paralysis, bad, bad, inferior; Win =  prevail, better, better.

Like the bar:  consistent with the truth is like that.  Like the real shop  , just contemplate and meditate in accordance with the truth.

Right position wisdom =  righteous intelligence, that is right understanding, insight, follow closely with the right path and truth.

Paragraphs 17) to 21) consider the eleven aspects of each aggregation, contemplate them closely as they are true and come to the conclusion that the five aggregates are  not mine, is we, is our self .

Multi-disciple disciple:  the disciple (= the student) of the Holy Scriptures, knows much to hear. Max =  many; Text =  listen; Holy =  frustrated practice has freed from the cycle of birth and death; Ðề =  em; Tử =  con.

Bibs: Bibs =  disgusting; Ly =  far away. When we say "he looks so  cynical  !", We mean, he is bored, or pessimistic. Here, the  cup  just refers to the mood of the austerities and sees that this body and mind causes suffering and sickness for us, so in the mind aroused  boredom  for the body and mind, no longer seeking material pleasures for the body mind again.

Ly greed: Ly =  lià xa; Greed =  too much desire. The  greedy  person is one who has given up desires (= desires), eliminated the attachment to material pleasures for the body and mind. Greed is a poisonous dish, of  the three poisons: greed, hatred and delusion. (= The three great poisonous relationships are  greed, anger and delusion. )

Liberation: Solution =  openness from the attachment; Escape =  out of misery. Liberation, here, refers to the transcending of the  samsaric  suffering of rebirth. ( Reincarnation: Reincarnation = wheel  ; Reincarnation =  return;  Reincarnation  is the scene of birth, growing up and dying, leaving birth, and then dying again, spinning around endlessly.)

Being finished :  ending rebirth (= being reborn.) ( Ending =  ending, ending . )

Pham Hanh : Pure tu happy  keeping round not lewd. Pham,  the Pali language is  Brahma,  is the Heavenly Yard, the beings on which there is no longer lust, beautiful body and long life span.(We live in the lower realms of Heaven).

What to do:  this is liberation from all contraband or (= omission, mistake or defilement) and the end of rebirth in samsara.

No more returning to this state:  that is, no longer in the state of being reborn in Samsara. It can be understood that this state is a state of  non-regression,  that is, it does not regress.

Paragraph 22) specifies the effectiveness of the  Selflessness : the  practitioner who has communicated with the  Selflessness,  becomes cynical towards the five aggregates, is far from craving and becomes liberated.

Theory =  speaking.

Rejoice =  rejoice.

Credits: Credits =  trust; Tho =  listens to the teachings.

Gonorrhea or: Gonorrhea =  oozing; Or =  mistake, omission. Gonorrhea, or  negativity inside the mind, oozes out with attitude or action. Three  contraband or  chief is  greed, hatred and delusion. 

Acceptance: Acceptance =  hold; Player =  holding in hand. Clinging  is clinging to the attachment, trying to hold on tightly, never willing to untie or open it. .END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.5/9/2019.
