Buddhism Comes To See.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

If we are predestined to meet each other, we will meet each other, from the beginning of time to the beginning because we sow deeply and deeply, so today, we will sit together to study Buddhism. Without Buddha, enlightenment is unborn, suffering is still suffering, negativity is negativity. Seeing that the Buddha is himself immediately causes suffering. So today we learn the lesson of "Buddhism comes to see".

Coming here is coming by the way of wisdom, not by the way of begging.

The Buddha taught, " Monks, you should light the torch on yourselves and light the torch with the Dharma."

Buddhism is the path of enlightenment. Why are we still suffering in this life, still accepting ego, still ignorant, still jealous and selfish?

There was a monk who came to ask Zen Master Duy Khoan:  Where is the Venerable Master ?

Monk answers:  In front of the eyes.

Monks:  Why don't you see?

The Venerable replied:  Because you have fallen, you cannot see.

The monk again asked, "  Have you fallen, so you don't see?"

The Venerable replied:  There are you, but I should not see it.

The monk continued to ask:  No children, no Sir, see?

The Venerable replied:  No thou, no me, what to take to see?

Thus, the reason in this life we ​​suffer, the affliction is due to accept the body is real, accept the mind in the shape of the six ceiling is true. Want to end suffering, must come to Buddhism by the path of wisdom.

When it comes to Buddhism, it is to talk about the Buddha himself. Buddha himself is all enlightened. We often say that Bodhisattva practices are like this and that, but our mind is not open, our mind is too small, so we put a handful of salt in it and become salty and no one can drink it. The mind of Buddha is wide and vast like a river, so salt is not salted. So, we come to this life, such as living with relatives, our mind has to be open and wide.

This place is very delicate, such as having someone very close to you, or inviting you to go here and there, sometimes because of unintentional or unintentional not inviting you. You remember this is your fierce elaborate place. Right there, if I analyze, why today that person does not invite me, any problem will immediately come to me.

Buddhism, though simple but put into practice, is detailed, not careful. These places their bad seeds germinate, pushing themselves to bad paths later. Therefore, I still cultivate forever and still suffer, still suffer.

We come to Buddhism not by concept, by concept, by explanation, by analysis, but by ourselves, we have to go deep into life, into real life. Still attached to the word meaning, the concept is never grasped. Coming to Buddhism is the self of every human being we rise and catch. You hear the story of Theft and Parenting.

Buddhism is not a path of reasoning, what is woven by concept, by reason, by dogmatic structure, we can never grasp reality, but once in mind There are concepts, reasoning, then when the truth comes you won't accept it. So coming to Buddhism is coming by the path of wisdom, seeing as true.

In the A Hamas, there was a wandering monk who asked Buddha:

Samma ghost, is this world forever or will it perish?

Buddha:  Hey wandering, Tathagata doesn't answer that question.

(or lose is to see two, is the dualistic path to distinguish).

The traveler again asked: Is  the world a border or not?

Tathagata also did not answer that question.

So is body and soul one or two?

This question Tathagata also did not answer.

After death, is Gomorrah still dead?

This question Tathagata did not answer.

Or does he think that after he died, he was both dead and lost?

This question Tathagata also did not answer.

So surely he said that after he died he would not exist, nor would he die?

Hey wandering, that question Tathagata also doesn't answer.

The wandering man looked surprised, saying, " Any question I ask, Satan does not answer. Why? So which questions will be answered?

We only answer questions about the dharma, which are related to elaborately practicing to purify our body and mind, overcome anxiety, grief, and straight to the path of Nirvana.

Even if one knows the world still exists or goes away, suffering is complete suffering.

Going into this life, in every hour, in every minute, in every paper, we have to be awake to see that new place is not enticed by the outside scene, immersed.

Want to be like that, must remember the phrase  "Phàm owns generals, false vision. The ants' comments are general, ie the Tathagata ",  which means that whatever a general is a lie, if you see the generals are not general, then you see Tathagata.

So, where is the "General"?

For example, someone gave me a glass, if I thought it was ugly I did not like, or it was beautiful. There was a cup that I could still see, but the glass without my face could still see it. Seeing that place is called a "general". Seeing that place, with my family, I still had the heart of joy, tolerance and forgiveness. For society, for strangers, I also have tolerance for forgiveness because all generals are non-generals.

As long as we understand a dharma, all dhammas are informed. Just let your mind let go, tolerance, forgiveness towards this person, for others you can also let go, tolerance, forgiveness. But why, are there some people who are open, tolerant and forgiving, and others? Because there is still ego, seeing that there is something we should not let go. This is for those who are cultivating, on their way to seeing.

Coming to Buddhism, a whole day of cultivation is to be valuable, it is better than people who do not come a day. Studying the Dharma has the benefit, that is the Seven Noble Truths.

Seeing your Buddha, this life until the next life, you lay the foundation of Dharma.

In the Sutta Pitaka, a wandering monk asked Buddha:

Solomon, please tell us if there is a fall or not?

The Blessed One did not respond.

After the wandering monk left, Venerable Ananda asked:

-          White World Religion, in the talks, Religious World has taught about the doctrine of non-self. Why doesn't the Blessed One answer the question of the wandering man today?

-          Ananda, ethical selflessness that Bhagavan teaches the teacher is a guide meditation practice that is not doctrine. Understanding it as a doctrine, the Masters will be stuck in it.

So to say Buddhism is egolessness, impermanence, if just listening to it is just a concept, a reasoning, to understand that is the way to meditate, to practice contemplation every hour, every minute, every second about your human body.

One day a pagan Sibaka asked the Buddha:  "Dharma practice, no time, come to see." How can we prove that meaning? ”

Buddha answered, " Hey, Sibaka, if you were not greedy inside you, you would not have greed, if you were greed-free you knew you would not have hatred. no si. And if he doesn't have greed, hatred and ignorance, he knows that he doesn't have greed, hatred and delusion . ”

There is a story that the Zen teachers often reminded one day when Than Quang came to ask Dat To Ma, asking for instructions on peace of mind. Why didn't he ask the Patriarch to refer to the realm of Nirvana and Bliss, nor to ask about the true nature, Buddha Nature, but to earnestly pray for the Patriarch to give peace of mind? So we have to go to Buddhism in a way that is as true as knowledge. How does my mind know like that. My mind is still confused, the mind that must be virtuous is Nirvana, Bliss, the dharmakaya ... the virtue. Practicing a lot without seeing that point, the ego still returns ego, the greed is still perfect

In the A Hamas, one came to the Buddha like this:

“Always overpowering

In all times

Anywhere overpowered

That place is peaceful. "

Buddha said:

“Do not overpower

In all times

Should only tame

Where do greed, initiation yard. ”

SEE TO STOP

SUTRA COMPLETE ENLIGHTENMENT: " Tri huyễn news ly, ly huyễn news ". Knowing illusory is leaving, which means being enlightened. Going to work is still normal, a concept of taking part in anger and attachment, knowing that there is mindfulness of attachment and anger. Still doing, still living the same as everyone else but I'm awake. The action that is always mindful is kusala. And the work that unconscious mind is evil mind. Every action is always aware that the Buddha is enlightened.

One day, the Zen master, Duc Son, said, " Today I am on the road but on one condition, you must not speak." If you guys go out and say you're eating three sticks . ” As soon as he spoke, the monk stepped out. He used the stick to beat 3 of them. The monk said,  "White Venerable, You speak as long as you can fight, I have not said why the Venerable beat?"

- Where are you from?

- I'm from Tan La country.

-          When he was about to enter the boat, it was worth eating 30 sticks, let alone coming here.

This means that you have to dive into the boat from South Korea to China.

Zen master Lin Te said: "Just a thought, we say this person is a relative of the Maou, who is profane. When there is no recitation or recitation arises, it stops, does not continue to recite, it is more than he goes on a 10-year journey. "

His concept of good, create good karma, then the birth of good realm, also raise evil concept, create bad karma, then the birth of bad realm. So Buddhism shows us the right place of recitation to see.

Coming to Buddhism by the way of knowledge as real, how the mind knows that. Practicing a lot without seeing that point is still ego, still greedy.

Meditation came to see

Speaking of Zen refers to the essence of Buddhism. So meditation is no different than a glass looking through all statues with a miraculous view into the mind. Meditation is the final fruit of the enlightened tree. Meditation points directly to our interior, how our inner self knows that. Just one day when I wake up, negativity is not present. Just forget that disturbing emotions come.

For example, if you sit still, be alert, not remember the past, you don't remember the future, always focus your mind in the present moment, whatever is going on, you'll know everything, not cultivate for a while. Space knows nothing, like wood, like stone. What happens in our hearts all know. So the talk of Zen refers to the reflective spirit of our own mind, to see the moment of contemplation.

Things always change continuously, never stop. Stopping or not stopping is in your mind. My mind stops, then everything stops.

One day, Zen Master Chan Tinh asked the monk:

- Are you done? (Did you finish the conscription work?)

- Slacking.

- Have you had porridge?

- Ate.

- Why didn't you say it?

- What's the door?

- Sound of raindrops.

- Why didn't you say it?

Listen to me say the verse:

“Follow the predestination

Daily use is not missing

All are trivial

Naturally crazy. ”

See that place already, called Buddhism came to see. Seeing everything is trivial, naturally all crazy, no longer suffering in everyday life. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.29/10/2019.
