How beautiful is it! Peace instead! When the flowers bloom, the leaves are green, the sun is warm, the swallow flies. A! A spring is coming.

“In the end of the mountains, there is no calendar.

In the spring festival, the chrysanthemum flowers bloom. ”

Not only the natural scenery is fresh, blooming and blooming when spring comes, but people are equally excited and busy to welcome the spring.

“The sky and the sky in spring have sunshine and spring

Fruit tree fragrant blooming heaven and earth

All species celebrate, happy new sunshine

Welcome Maitreya spring, welcome joy ”

But that joy, just the joy of the weather outside the time, the scenery only. As for us cultivators, there is a spring in our hearts, a spring is no longer dominated by time, place, surrounding scenery. That is "perpetual spring", "eternal spring".

So how to discover that spring here? When life is always about everything going backwards, just follow this and that. For many years, we have been deluded in search of happiness in money, fame, position ... pleasure, or happiness. Therefore, so much time, effort, mental thinking ... is put into it. Who knows that it is not true happiness. So we go on searching and don't know when to stop.

“Childhood used to be interesting in four directions

Non horizontal diaphragm few degrees with Tuong river

Tomorrow meets the heavenly herd

Know many years lost the way ”

We go on and on in search of like an ephemera, no doubt they are not real, just fleeting, like bubbles, there and then there. The remaining paintings were pink dust, and a bitter tear on her eyes.

“Trying to be human again

Spring followed the pale smile.

Clearly open eyes chiem bao

Knowing that the illusory dream is still painful

Is there anything to back up?

Maybe the dust is tiny. ”

Bitter bitter instead! Sour rather! Did he take a life in so-called fleeting things?

Today, with some good grace still lingering. Learned and bathed in the teachings of the Buddha, the compassion of the superiors and teachers. So why don't we boldly walk? Try asking yourself again?

“I haven't seen the way yet

Sorry, my steps are still lazy

Please do not bring dreams

Hundreds of years ago like a flag was turned ”

It is life with busy worries that drags us into the harsh game, there is no way out with more losses than losing, and so on and so on that makes us turn around in an event, no can be mastered at a time. And now,  "return". Returning means stopping. Stop worrying thoughts. Return to your own intelligent mind.

"Come back and find yourself"

That is the key to open the door of Nirvana, the key to the house of eternal happiness.

And it is the peaceful moments of the first days of the new year, it is a good opportunity for us to look back on ourselves. Looking back at everything in a good mood and then we will answer that this is a truly meaningful life of long, reverse years.

“How to find spring without seeing

Gravel grass shoes of the mountains

Today back to the deserted place

Suddenly saw the spring is fresh on the apricot branches. "

Those are the moments of Buddha's worship, or the quiet sitting down when listening to the dharma. Stop not running the sword outside, temporarily stop. Then the mind flower will bloom on the branch.

Because, do not have to wait when the yellow apricot blossomed, or swallow racing to fly back, or the drum sound of elegant drumming in New Year's Eve called Spring. But spring is righteous in the peaceful steps of awakening.

“Spring comes, hundreds flowers fall

Spring to hundreds of flowers laugh

In the eyes of going forever

The old head is here

Do not say spring flowers fall out

Last night in front of a branch tomorrow pitch."

It is an apricot blossom branch.

It is an apricot blossom branch, the eternal peace of the one who discovers the spring god. That spring Lord rests in the serene peace of each of us.

So what are you waiting for, why not let go once. Once dead for people to live again.

Just:

"Want to escape from the ceiling, unpredictable work

The first line holds tightly

Há is not a cold frost

Where apricot blossoms easily bloom ”

And then: Relaxed spring life

“Did not follow the contemporary steps

Spring life outside leisurely stroll "

Spring is beyond things, in the usual way of losing, riddling ... That is the true spring.

Try to ask if you ever have those moments of carefree sleep? If you really can't find it, go back here, with your teachers and students, and the mountains and mountains of this Chanh Thien land, holding hands and walking on the path that the Buddhas and the Patriarchs have gone. That road, temporarily called:

“Chanh Thien Road does not come

If so, it is Buddha

Falling yellow leaves and sweeping white clouds

Birds chirping, not noisy

The forest is calm, we are alone on a cliff ”

Then, together a smile, a smile of joy, a smile of Maitreya, and the whole sky and sky in the new spring were also smiling, a boundless bliss filled the ten directions. Now, really is Back!   END= NAM  MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.31/10/2019.
