Third, the karmic retribution.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

Why is it called karma?

"The karmic retribution, the disturbing emotions because of the karmic retribution of the karmic retribution" , we first saw this paragraph. Because beings of the six realms belong to karmic retribution. You create good karma that is friendly with three good paths, you create evil karma that can feel bad karma. This is the true truth in the six realms. This way of speaking is a general statement, saying meticulously is not ending! In this passage:  "Most mortal arising endless existence " , we think, in the six realms so complex. Only in the human realm, the current demographic on Earth is 67 million people, the karma of each person is not the same.

In Buddhist scriptures, we have two major types of karma.

The first type is called leading career, leading you to any realm to reincarnate. For example, you have a human realm, you have to go to some house to be reincarnated, you cannot be reborn wrong. You have a predestined relationship with any family, without a destiny, it does not turn into a family. Right in this life we ​​meet many people, some strangers, some people with predestined relationships. When strangers meet, they can greet one another without even greeting. Predestined people, even though you don't know them, when you see them, they smile at you, this is predestined. Or pretend to see that you feel disgusted, glaring at you is also predestined. You immediately know this problem is so complicated. This is a career guide.

Life is our life is certain, life is due to the previous life. Fortune is certain, honesty called:  "A meal, a sip of water are so predestined" . Today we eat as many grains of rice, drink as many drops of water are in the designated network, it will not be more, nor will be less. Genuine people understand this ethic, honest communication is thorough, a bit of skepticism also does not.

In China there really was such a person, Fairy Student Yuan Liao. You saw the four precepts of the old man, he wrote down four astronomers, taught his descendants. "Liu Fanfan," he told himself, when he was young, the first Khong was very accurate in guessing his life, predicted many years of his life, and it was the situation of his life every year. He was a student, every year he took an exam, what was the rank of the exam, whether he passed or not, it was in the designated network. Twenty-one years are not at all wrong. So even his thought did not exist, the mind was dumbfounded, no longer in competition. He knew that competition was not good, so he let go of all competition, the mind was very pure.

Once, he went to Van The Mountain to visit Zen Master Van Coc, and with Van Coc Zen Master in the meditation hall, meditating for three days and three nights, without initiating a memory. The Zen master Van Coc greatly subjugated him, and a person who could not wait for three days and three nights without a delusion was not easy, immediately asked him, praising his elaborate practice. The born Lieu Pham, an honest person, said:  "I'm not elaborate . " Why not start three days and three nights without a memory? He said:  "My life is already determined by Khong Tien, starting up with thoughts will not help, if not, not starting.". Zen master Van Coc heard and then laughed: I thought you were a saint, so you were still a mortal. He immediately investigated, why am I still a mortal? Zen master Van Coc said, his life was already decided by others, and is ordinary! So immediately taught him the method of improving fortunes.

Who's destiny is going to give you? Self-determination. Your own career in the past is cause, right in this life is retribution. This retribution is called karma. There are two types of karma. One type of leading you to reincarnation is called career guidance. The situation right here in your life, your rich and poor, is called karma. Manchuria is the result of good and evil. There are people who are talented, because in the past, they practice giving. Talents give alot more, even in this life, money. Retribution! Grow whatever you have, get that fruit. Intellectual intelligence is due to the past life of giving practice. Healthy living is due to the past fearless generosity. If you don't cultivate, you can't do it, you can't have it.

In Buddhism there are two very interesting words:  "Education's tri deposit, metal fake birth urban life .  Education fruit eschatological prophet, born author marketing needle" . If we want to know what causes the previous life we ​​have created, then look at this retribution immediately. You want to see what our next karmic retribution is, then think back, start your mindfulness, our words of work are right in this life. The cause that this life you create, the next life you have to take retribution. So our destiny is not determined by us for the Bodhisattva Buddha, nor can God manage this, much less to the king Yama, not related to them at all. Say an honest sentence:  "Do it yourself"! Understanding this morality, even if this life is a bit miserable, it doesn't matter, why? In the past life, there was no practice, even in this life, hard-working efforts, cultivators, and retribution resulted in immediate success. The retribution of the next life is that we want the next generation to make great fortune, but we do not want to practice giving.

In this network right now there is no money, what is the use of giving so that the next life will have more money? These words were when I was young, Great Master Zhangjia taught me. These old men are not ordinary people. They see us very clearly, very thoroughly. Like old Master Li, too, see our generals, see our gestures, immediately know whether they are blessed or not.

Take me and say, in the network I have no money, previous life is not tu, not life, short life. A lot of these old people see this and I know it. Fortunately, I also have a bit of intelligence, roughly in the past, I know how to practice almsgiving, don't know how to practice almsgiving, and how to cultivate fearless alms, so my life is very miserable. The Great Teacher taught me to practice almsgiving. I said I did not have any money, I could earn a little a month, I was very reluctant to live, there was no surplus. He asked me a penny or not? I said a penny might. He asked a copper or not? One penny is okay. He said, so you start with a penny and a penny to give. At that time, when I had just learned Buddha, in the temple, there was a release, printed in a book, and immediately had the opportunity to raise a little money, raise a penny, two cents, five cents, a copper, and the energy was just like that. , earnestly sincere and go to work,

The first day he met the old master, he told me:  "Today I tell you six words, you try to do six years . " I really did, six years of instant gratification. Later each year the income increases. What about increment? Increasing it all brought alms, yourself is still less food, habit of thrifty, whole-hearted alms that alms. After becoming ordained to preach Sutta, the offerings became more and more. Monks have no money to spend.

 Old Dharma Master Indo Quang all receives the offerings of the four of them, all of them are used in giving alms, giving alms. I think this is very ethical, this way of doing things is really beneficial and not harmful, even if printed books are sold for money, it is a good job. If someone took it for sale, they would watch it, so it's a good deal. So I studied with the Venerable all my life, the more I gave it.

I studied Buddhism until this year is fifty-eight years, currently giving alms "Great Tripitaka" is also nearly ten thousand sets. In recent years, we have traveled with many religions in the world, hoping that the world's religion is one-person home, bringing society peace and stability forever. So, our range of generosity, generosity, fearless generosity, extending to all religions, honesty also make achievements. In the past life, there was no alms and generosity in this life, even in this life, though not as much, as the Buddha said:  "The Buddha of the middle class, the most exhausted," is good! There is no greed, no jealous mind. Karma of almsgiving is greater intelligence. I myself can feel, each year is not the same, each month is not the same, healthy long life.

My life expectancy is only forty-five years old. When I was forty-five years old, I really had an illness, in my heart I had a plan, my life was here, so I did not go to the doctor, nor took the medicine. I believe the doctor can only treat the disease, not the life. Life is gone, so immediately recite the Buddha's request for birth and the Pure Land. I recited for a month to recover. I have not walked into the hospital my whole life, never been sick. That time, I passed the frontier. There was also a time when I was seventy-seven years old, the time of illness was not long, only four days. Those four days I knew clearly, also that I could go, while sick as a dream but not a dream, I saw Amitabha Buddha, saw Bhikshu Dharma, and saw Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. I honestly want to go. Besides, there were people who asked me if he had anything he could not let go of or not, was there any problem? Do you still want to meet anyone, do you still want to ask others to do something or not? I said I no longer wanted anything, I just said one sentence: If the Bodhisattva Buddha wanted me to stay in this world to help sentient beings, it would be okay, for a few more years, it didn't matter to me. which says there are no major obstacles. At this moment I woke up. When waking up, no longer sick, feel the whole body gently. I've been through it for so many years, five years, so I can say that true friends can do these three kinds of giving. When waking up, no longer sick, feel the whole body gently. I've been through it for so many years, five years, so I can say that true friends can do these three kinds of giving. When you wake up, you are no longer sick, feel your whole body gently. I've been through it for so many years, five years, so I can say that true friends can do these three kinds of giving.

"Generous alms". Fasting is fearless almsgiving, freeing is being fearless almsgiving, helping all suffering sentient beings, helping them get therapy, helping them get medicine, this is all generously giving alms, then you are healthy and long. What do we live in this world for? This is a very critical issue. If you live in this world for yourself, for your family, then you are bound to suffer from karma. We have just met the Dharma, seeing the Dharma won as such, the direction of our life goals immediately changes. At that time, I was alone in Taiwan, honestly not worrying about being free, not being attached, I made a vow to "connect the Buddha's network, propagate the Dharma of birth". Such good things are unfortunate, no one knows! Today I know, I am responsible, mission.

My teacher taught me to learn Shakyamuni Buddha, take Shakyamuni Buddha as an example, and tell me to read "Shakyamuni" and "Shakyamuni". This is when I met Great Master Zhangjia, who told me to read these two books. These two types of books are the stories of Shakyamuni Buddha. Learning Buddha without being aware of Buddha is not, must definitely know Him. After reading it, I realized that the Blessed One was truly great, making people respect him. What is his identity? Using his current words, he said that his profession is a teacher, a whole life teaching, nineteen years old left the family renunciation school to learn, studied for twelve years, up to thirty years old. Venerable in the academic circles of India as well as missionary professors in the religious world at that time, he was close and sincere through, honestly learning a lot, but still not enlightened, There is also no place to study, to the great tree on the banks of the Ganges. When he was thirty years old, he went into deeper meditation and realized great enlightenment. After knowledge, the problem is immediately solved. After Tanh Tanh, He brought about the knowledge of the mind Tanh Tanh Tanh meticulously told us. What is the first sutta? "Dai Phuong Quang Hoa Nghiem Kinh Buddhist", this is Shakyamuni Buddha nature said clearly.

We know that in the time of China's Sui Tang, the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng Zong, when he was twenty-four years old, was clear of awareness, six years earlier than Sakyamuni Buddha. He nature before he spoke out his realm. He said twelve words:  " Any doubt that self-nature, which is pure, which does not kill, which does not waver, is capable of all things " . The five monks, the Patriarch Hoang Rings, heard and knew that it was true and not fake. You should know, what is the Great Master Hui saying twelve words? It is "Dai Phuong Quang Hoa Nghiem Kinh Buddha". These five sentences when deployed are "Dai Phuong Quang Hoa Nghiem Kinh Buddha". "Dai Phuong Quang Hoa Nghiem Kinh Buddhist" if shortened, it is these twelve words, no increase or decrease. One is meticulous,

"Kinh Nghiem Nghiem" said so much, what is it? Those are the two sentences in the five verses of Grand Master Hue Nang, the third sentence is  "inherently self-sufficient" , the last sentence is  "the energy of all things" . This is not fake. The Blessed One in the Bible often told us:  "All beings are originally Buddha", honest, not fake. You are a Buddha, a Bodhisattva, an Arhat, and you are a human being, a demon, a being, and hell. Ten statues of paramedic medical from where that comes? The word right in your own notion appears. Why say you are Buddha? You can bring delusion, discernment, attachment to all letting go, you are Buddha. In other words, we are the Buddha currently carrying delusion, discrimination, attachment. Just let go. The wisdom of your generals is no different from the ten directions of all the Buddhas.

Hope can not let go, can bring distinctions attached to letting go, then you are the Bodhisattva. Hope, discrimination can not let go, you can let go of attachments, then you are Arhat. Three types can not let go, then you are the ordinary realms of the six realms. The Sutta says so clearly, so thoroughly, you can try it!

The Buddha preached to us clearly, we also understood, heard clearly, also believed, so it is not possible, there is no use life, why is that? This is called enlightenment. Great Master Thanh Luong brought "Nghiem Hoa Nghiem" into four major departments: "Tin-Award-Action-Certificate", you only have credits, only prizes, you don't have onion, don't do, so you don't have evidence. What is onion? Nothing other than administration is letting go. What is a certificate? The main certificate is great enlightenment. So the practice of Buddhism is not about how many sutras you read, how many teachings you hear, but where you let go. The more you hear, the more you can't let go, it doesn't help. Why? It is these things that obstruct nature. Nature is pure, it inherently has no pollution. Nature without birth, including all phenomena have birth and death. Can you imagine it, animals with old age and death, plants with birth and death, the world of natural phenomena all have city-head-damage, not called impermanence. There is only ordinary nature, eternity, immutability. In the nature, there is immeasurable wisdom, the nature of all things.

This paragraph says  "endless arising". Just like a kaleidoscope, as long as your mind moves, it immediately changes. The mind is not moving, there is nothing. This morality we understand. How elaborate? Elaborately is letting go. Where to let go? The Mahayana, Hinayana, and Buddha texts all tell us. The Hinayana ultimate goal is Arahant, Mahayana is to become a Buddha, to let go and let go. Every woman is attached to me. What to get attached to? Accept the body, this body is us. Buddha told us that this body is fake, it has old sickness, it is not true. What is the real thing? It is immutable forever, that is true. Every body or variable is fake, are not true, so the body is not real. Is the mind genuine? The mind is also not true, in the mind is thought, is the idea. You see our idea, the idea is gone, after this idea continues to arise, day and night it does not stop, so it is the method of birth and death. France being destroyed is not real, but a fake. This place immediately tells us that all physical phenomena, all mental phenomena are not real. It is not true that we should let go, should not be attached to it, should not distinguish it, should not start the mind. It is returning to your own nature, then you are like Bodhisattvas Buddhas no different.

Bodhisattvas Buddhas improvised in the world, helping sentient beings in the world, what do they use? Use newspaper industry. We truly have karma, they have no karma, they appear karma. If there is no karma, then they have no way to stay with us. If they are not with us, they have no way to educate us. They must be our fellow human beings. Bodhisattva Buddha wanted to be human, the human beings, want to be animal, the animal embodiment, want to be hungry ghosts, pet hungry ghosts. You are the same type as them, you can educate them.

Shakyamuni Buddha coming to our world must appear with our body in order for us to teach us, to be able to show the Sutta of the Dharma, we can accept it. This morality must understand. But what about us women? Our Lady is truly karma, creating karma, creating what karma? On the "Earth Store Sutta" is very clearly said:  "Beings Matching mind start up mindfulness of nothing is not creating karma, nothing is not creating sins . " Speak very clearly, very thoroughly like that.

What is karma? Buddha specifically instructed us very thoroughly. Our body creates lustful killing, which is creating karma: killing karma, burglary karma, karma. Dâm, in addition to men and women, any excessive body is called lust, its intention is very wide. Murder is harming sentient beings, not only killing the life of sentient beings, but you making them arousing disturbing emotions also belongs to karma. Stealing, from the smallest, you want to occupy some comfort of others, that idea is called theft. Not going to steal but having this idea, you have arisen the mind of theft. Exporting karma is even easier to commit. Vong language is deceiving people, two-dimensional is provocative marketing, dependence is the words woven, evil words are rude words, these are verbal karma. Karma is greed-anger. Buddha tells us these ten types of karma. Contrast is not killing, not stealing, not sex, that is called good karma. Contrary to good karma is bad karma. We ourselves think, do we every day from dawn to dusk, start up the mindfulness, the words of work are not karma? Compare that, the more good karma, the more bad karma, the bad karma is the result of the three bad karma. What is this? This is leading karma, which leads us to which realm to reincarnate. Even after you are close, your whole life is rich and poor, what is it? It belongs to three types of alms: almsgiving, dharma giving, fearless almsgiving. These three types of karma are called karma. We are karma. Ten good karma is also good, ten evil karma is also good, all are called afflictions, you do not leave negativity. is the word of work all karma? Compare that, the more good karma, the more bad karma, the bad karma is the result of the three bad karma. What is this? This is leading karma, which leads us to which realm to reincarnate. Even after you are close, your whole life is rich and poor, what is it? It belongs to three types of alms: almsgiving, dharma giving, fearless almsgiving. These three types of karma are called karma. We are karma. Ten good karma is also good, ten evil karma is also good, all are called afflictions, you do not leave negativity. is the word of work all karma? Compare that, the more good karma, the more bad karma, the bad karma is the result of the three bad karma What is this? This is leading karma, which leads us to which realm to reincarnate. Even after you are close, your whole life is rich and poor, what is it? It belongs to three types of alms: almsgiving, dharma giving, fearless almsgiving. These three types of karma are called karma. We are karma. Ten good karma is also good, ten evil karma is also good, all are called afflictions, you do not leave negativity. what is that? It belongs to three types of alms: almsgiving, dharma giving, fearless almsgiving. These three types of karma are called karma. We are karma. Ten good karma is also good, ten evil karma is also good, all are called afflictions, you do not leave negativity. what is that? It belongs to three types of alms: almsgiving, dharma giving, fearless almsgiving. These three types of karma are called karma. We are karma. Ten good karma is also good, ten evil karma is also good, all are called afflictions, you do not leave negativity.

Say  "Bodhisattva tri sentient beings mind interest , " beings in this place are six realms. What are the six realms of being? Join the six paths, there is no mind leaving. You see that our worldly people really have a lot, an oversized world, what do we hope for? Hope to be born, the next life can be heavenly good! In the Buddha Dharma, it is clear that there are twenty-eight floors of heaven.

In the past, when I had just ordained, I stayed in the temple for three years. Later, I was no longer in the temple, wanted to stay in the temple but had no predestined relationship, perhaps many practitioners knew it. When I preached the Sutta I met the North Korean layman Han Anh, she helped me. I had no place to live, she let me stay at her home. I have been at her home for seventeen years, not easily! She helped me with everything, rented a seat to teach the Sutta, borrowed a place to teach the Sutras. At that time, renting a lecture hall or borrowing a lecture hall was only as big as our video studio, which could seat thirty to fifty people. If you sit full, you can go to seventy or eighty people. I preached Sutta without interruption, every day lecturing. After seventeen years, I remember that in that year I had been teaching the Sutta for twenty years, only to have a small ashram called the Tibetan Library at the American Landscape in Taipei. I immediately invited layman Han Anh to be the Abbot. Our ashram is also not large, an area of ​​only fifty square meters. The Korean director took care of me for thirty years, including at the house of her seventeen years and thirteen years after the library. She has been reborn, I travel all over the world, but we teach Sutta without interruption. Every time you go to France, the predestined conditions are very vengeful, but still want to be determined. Do not move! This predestined relationship has not yet existed, somewhere has not been long. Dependency is every day changing. How to change? Change comes and does not leave, where graceful, then go there. She has been reborn, I travel all over the world, but we teach Sutta without interruption. Every time you go to France, the predestined conditions are very vengeful, but still want to be determined. Do not move! This predestined relationship has not yet existed, somewhere has not been long. Dependency is every day changing. How to change? Change comes and does not leave, where graceful, then go there. She has been reborn, I travel all over the world, but we teach Sutta without interruption. Every time you go to France, the predestined conditions are very vengeful, but still want to be determined. Do not move! This predestined relationship has not yet existed, somewhere has not been long. Dependency is every day changing. How to change? Change comes and does not leave, where graceful, then go there.

In the eighties, as if the mainland had just opened, I immediately returned to visit my homeland. Not yet arrived home, to Beijing to see, met the old renunciate Zhao Phoc So, compatriot Anhui people, told me the leaves fall back to their roots, come back! I really want to go home. Our hometown has the ancient pagoda, The Real Zen Temple, which basically has 1,700 years of history. Dependency is still not enough, so I see other monks who have temples to live on, I really admire. But on the contrary, they admire me. I seemed to be traveling all day long, walking very tired, very miserable. I am eighty-three years old this year.

The old adage says very well:  "Seventy-three to eighty-four, Pluto does not invite and go on its own.". This word has morality! You should know, why say seventy three to eighty-four? If Confucius was seventy-three years old, he went, Mengzi was eighty-four years old. Time should come, still not go? Even in this life, our words of work can be said that there are a lot of good and a little evil, some good and bad things are compared, at least up to 90%, the error may be 10%, the next karmic retribution is very vindictive. Want to know the result of the next life, then see what life creates, so the result of future karmic retribution. Do we need a later life? Cannot need. Buddha told us, if there is a later life, it is unjustly and unjustly declared will never end. So, definitely have to be enlightened. This life is good practice should do, do not do evil, do not need retribution next life. The next life is of course the great merit of heaven, but no need, to the World of Ultimate Bliss to become Buddha.

Is the World of Great Bliss good or not? There is! Why is it true? Is the nature turned out to appear. Just like this world, you say the World of Great Bliss is suspicious, now why is this world why you don't doubt? Exactly alike. Why is the World of Great Bliss so good? People on the Pure Land do not have any evil, pure and pure, so this world is good. In the Buddhist Sutta tells us:  "Medicine according to the Chief Justice reported". Y newspaper is the situation: The context of life, mountains and land. What is Chief Justice? Mind. Initially the mindfulness of the residents of the Western World Pure Bliss are pure and pure, so the world is so beautiful. We rebirth in the Ultimate Bliss World, entering it is like being an immigrant. Migrants must undergo examinations. Examine what? Investigate your pure mind, examine your good mind. If you don't have a pure mind, no good mind, you can't go to the Ultimate Bliss World, nor can reciting Buddha's name. The Buddha Sutta says very clearly:  "The mind is pure in the Buddha realm , " where it is the pure land. Pure Land is the pure mind turning into the pure land. So, reciting Buddha's name is a method, a method.

What is the purpose of reciting Buddha's name? The main purpose is pure mind. In our hearts there are thoughts, thoughts, and thoughts that have arisen, this sentence of "Amitabha Buddha" brings the concept of change, transforming into each thought as Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha Buddha is the virtue of the nature, this is Sanskrit, translated into Chinese Literature is Immeasurable. "A" translates as Vo, "Di Da" translates as Luong, "Buddha" translates as wisdom, enlightenment. So this title means immeasurable wisdom, enlightenment immeasurable. This is the nature, the nature of capital which is sufficient.

On the "Avatamsaka Sutra" Buddha told us:  "All sentient beings are inherently full of the wisdom of the Tathagata General". Originally full, why not now? Fascinated. Arousing delusion, discernment, attachment, bringing the wisdom of nature to transform into immeasurable defilements. What is defilement? The morphed wisdom, also the Bat Nha wisdom in the nature, adds delusion, discrimination, and attachments to negativity. Virtue is inherent enough in nature, adding to delusion, discrimination, and attachments immediately into karma. Perfect generals added to delusion, discrimination, attachments immediately turned into six realms of reincarnation, immediately turned out like this. If we bring delusion, discernment, attachments, let go, our afflictions turn into wisdom, create karma turn into merit, karmic retribution will turn into generosity. This is the true truth. So all the dharma from the mind of birth, depending on the mind of the mind. This doctrine, The truth of this truth is only Buddha can say it clearly. Why? He entered this realm. If you do not sign in, you cannot speak out. He entered this realm, so he could speak so clearly, so thoroughly.

So:  "Bodhisattva tri sentient beings being mental beings" . The mind that makes fun of this place is praying to Buddha and praying for the Bodhisattva's help, especially when we encounter tribulations ourselves. We have no way, sincere in praying to the Bodhisattva Buddha, as long as we pray for sensuality and sincereness as  "the Buddha of the central door, the friendship for all" , the Bodhisattva Buddha has the touch.

Bodhisattva Buddha comes because we embody the dharma, what do you see? "Ie report karmic newspaper itself" , this is the Bodhisattva Buddha's appearance. The Bodhisattva Buddha also manifests a karmic body similar to our own to help us. Or fake:  "Herons beings beings" , this body of beings is very wide range. As we have said before, they can show mountains and rivers of land, can show trees and flowers, let you see that there is a place of enlightenment, you have a feeling, you are suddenly enlightened. "Nai chi is nowhere close to the wild" , this empty body is what we call today a natural phenomenon.

Wednesday, Thanh Van Than.

Than Thanh Van escaped from the six realms. "Thanh Van relatives fake position, Buddhist literature hearing enlightenment base reason, Thanh Van relatives wild" . Thanh Van in Buddhism is also called Arhat. How can Arahant be attained? This place preaches very clearly, they are:  "Literature in Buddhism", is also listening to the Buddha preaching Sutra that enlightenment. How enlightenment? Bring all attachments to worldly position to let go. In Mahayana Buddhism called letting go of "ants or", letting go of "private or", immediately proved the result of Arhat. What is "ant or"? "Ants" is interpretation, "or" is mesmerizing, or in other words, you're wrong! "Tư" is the thought, it is your way of thinking that is wrong, this is called disturbing thoughts. This is in the Buddha Dharma, please tell you, absolutely accurate, if you cannot do it, you have no way to prove it. Thanh Van in Buddhism called Small Result, like the whole life of Shakyamuni Buddha taught, this is belong to Primary, so called Hinayana.

Annoying ants, ants or talking is not over, too much! From the affliction is the same. Buddha during teaching brought it inductive to five major categories. Misinterpretation has five great categories, wrong thought also has five great types. First you take the wrong view of letting go, after letting go is called right understanding and right understanding. If not, it would be wrong. Let go of ants either, in ants or there are five major types.

Ants Or

The first type is "incarnation , " honestly knowing that the body is not us. The body is not us, self-interest immediately let go. Should have known countless boundless poor from where that was born? It is from self-interest that was born. Where self-interest came from? The word that this body is us is born. This is the Buddha who teaches us from the basis of conversion. The true body is not me. The body is our possession, ours, we are not. Like clothes, the room in which we live is our property, we own, not us. Must clearly distinguish. Genuine people can let go of self-interest, self-interest, immediately no longer, immediately complete, immediately corresponds to the virtue.

What is me? Nature is us, usually we call it nature. The nature is us, the soul is still not. The soul is an enchanted nature, so it should be called the soul, it is also said that in the nature there is delusion, discrimination, attachment, then called the soul. If there is still delusion in the nature, still discriminating, no longer attached to it, it can be said that it will not be called the soul, but the spirit. Tanh still contaminated, why so? It is out of the six realms, there will be no more going back to the six realms of reincarnation. What they have witnessed, in Buddhism is called Right Understanding.

Learning to memorize Buddha, learning what Buddha hopes to be? Buddhist nouns are called  "A Nau Da La Tam Mieu Tam Bo De" . This saying is translatable, why not? Called respect does not translate. This is the ultimate goal of studying Buddhism. What do we learn about Buddhism? Hope this is. "A Nau Da La Tam Mieu Tam Bo De"  translated into Chinese means that Supreme Master Ching Hai is not aware that it cannot be translated. The Chief Justice is the Buddha himself, the Chief Justice is called the Bodhisattva and the Buddha is the Arahant. Arhat, Pratyekabuddha Buddha are all called Right Understanding, are all inherent.

So, first you have to recognize, to see through, this body is false, not true, should not be overly attached, should not let it go to create karma. Borrowing from the real life, can not borrow fake career. We have not heard the teachings of Buddha, we all use this false body to create karma, then it is wrong! After listening to the Buddha's Sutta, we finally turn around and have to use this fake body to cultivate evil, cultivate merit, and create no karma. This is the first thing to get, to turn around.

The second is the "frontier" . The two sides called the boundary. Speaking in common sense, people don't understand, so I often change a noun to say opposites. The opposite is the boundary, this is a mistake, why? In the nature there is no opposition, no opposition is found. If there is no opposition, then there is no conflict, no conflict, none of it, so you must know that nature is harmonious. Geriatric ancestors we know, so the initiative  "of peace micro quarter" . As soon as the opposite is the realm of the six realms. Where did the six realms of reincarnation come from? It is the five types of this wrong interpretation, five types of wrong thought, bringing the most legal realms into six realms of samsara. The main thing is like that. If our knowledge of interpretation is correct, the six realms are no longer present. So the six realms are not real, "Fantasy illusory image" , we can not help but know.

So where did you learn to study Buddha from? Firstly, seeing through the body is not self, self-interest no longer exists. Second, let go of the opposition. We are not opposed to people, we are not opposed to things, we are not opposed to all things; We harmonize with people, we harmonize with things, we along with heaven and earth all things are harmonious, an array of harmony! Right from this place that embarked on, this is Buddhism.

The third is "prejudice."  Let go of prejudice. What is prejudice? The present is called the subjective concept, we think that is so. That is false, is a serious affliction. Buddha prejudices divided into prejudice on causes and prejudices on fruits. Prejudice on the people called "about the ants", the prejudices above the fruit called "ants", are all wrong. In emptiness, why can you arise this kind of idea? All are born of delusion, being attached to one's own view, one's own viewpoint, eliminating others. This is called affliction currently, not being intellectual. Prejudice is no longer you tolerating others, you can broaden the mind. How big is our mind? In Buddhism is often referred to as  "How broken mind, amount throughout the legal world", that is our inherent energy, everyone is the same. At the moment, the mood has become too small, both of them cannot tolerate each other. You see that the worldly couple and their couple cannot tolerate each other, are still in a quarrel, how pitiful! Consciousness is inherently embracing the universe, encompassing the ten dharmas, it is your inherent mind. So let go of prejudice, you can constant sentient beings, you can rejoice in the merit, you can not tolerate then how?

Why can not be tolerated? Because throughout the world of nothingness is nowhere from your delusion born. Besides expectations, there is nothing. Dharma General Duy Thuc Tong said Duy Thuc does not recognize all of these phenomena, including all phenomena which are awakening, the consciousness of consciousness. The mind can show the general appearance and the righteous appearance. Medical chief solemnity why can be turned into ten legal world, why can turn into six realms, why can turn into three roads? That is the final variable, called the only formal variables. What is consciousness? The main consciousness is discrimination, attachment. Distinguish is the sixth consciousness, the attachment is the seventh consciousness, Morrow na. If there is no discrimination, there is no attachment, this dharma realm is called the dharmakaya. Why? It has only the citta which appears, without consciousness. Buddha said this thing clearly and thoroughly,

The last type is called "wrong view" . In addition to the four types of foregoing said, including all wrong interpretations called wrong views, is the wrong view.

This is called ant or. The five categories are all paragraph, then congratulate you, you entered the Buddha already, in Theravada you witness the preliminary results of Tu Da Hoan, in Mahayana in "Sutra of the Avatamsaka Sutra," you witness the Bodhisattva Profile, Tin is in Ten Tín, you are already in the door.

When we study together, for the past few decades I have often said sixteen words:  letting go of self-interest, letting go of fame and goodness, letting go of the five sensual pleasures, letting go of craving-hat-si -my. This place is done, honestly let go, you have not entered the Buddha's door, where are you going? You have arrived outside the door of Buddha, yet to enter. This was not easy! Take one more step through the threshold, what is the condition? It is letting go of the five ants either. The opinion of letting go, the boundary of letting go (no opposition, the idea of ​​opposition no longer exists), no more prejudice, no more wrong interpretation, are you really going to learn the first year. The first Hinayana is Tu Da Hoan, the first Mahayana is Bodhisattva Sr. The status is not high, but no matter whether it is Mahayana or Hinayana, you are all Saints, Little Saints, not yet out of the six realms, you are still in the six realms, but decided not to fall for the three paths. No matter whether this world has Buddha or no Buddha, you are a heavenly person who travels seven times, you decide to witness Arahantship. When you have Buddha, you will be close to Buddha and listen to Buddha's teachings. When there is no Buddha appearing, you are enlightened (behind us we will talk about it), you yourself will be enlightened. Of course, enlightenment has a predestined predestination, which is the Bodhisattva Buddhas appearing. Show you what? The manifestation of beings, the manifestation of nothingness, the manifestation of karmic retribution, the Bodhisattva Buddhas, make countless appearances to help you suddenly be enlightened. If you don't let go, it doesn't help, Buddha shows you how you don't see, don't see, don't hear, don't understand, you can't get enlightened. So you need to let go of yourself, then Buddha can help you to take another step through seeing. you yourself will be enlightened. Of course, enlightenment has predestined predestination, which is the Bodhisattva Buddhas appearing. Show you what? The manifestation of beings, the manifestation of nothingness, the manifestation of karmic retribution, the Bodhisattva Buddhas, make countless appearances to help you suddenly be enlightened. If you don't let go, it doesn't help, Buddha shows you how you don't see, don't see, don't hear, don't understand, you can't get enlightened. So you need to let go of yourself then Buddha can help you to take another step forward through seeing. you yourself will be enlightened. Of course, enlightenment has predestined predestination, which is the Bodhisattva Buddhas appearing. Show you what? The manifestation of beings, the manifestation of nothingness, the manifestation of karmic retribution, the Bodhisattva Buddhas, make countless appearances to help you suddenly be enlightened. If you don't let go, it doesn't help, Buddha shows you how you don't see, don't see, don't hear, don't understand, you can't get enlightened. So you need to let go of yourself then Buddha can help you to take another step forward through seeing. Buddha does not appear to see how you see, do not see, hear, do not understand, you can not enlightenment. So you need to let go of yourself then Buddha can help you to take another step forward through seeing. Buddha does not appear to see how you see, do not see, do not understand, you can not get enlightenment. So you need to let go of yourself, then Buddha can help you to take another step through seeing.

So  "Bodhisattva tri sentient beings being mind" , what kind of being is this? We call it the Mahayana essence, which is very admiring and loving Arahant. You see, the Bodhisattva Buddha truly does not initiate, does not move, does not distinguish, does not accept, depending on sentient beings. Whatever you like, they show you that. You like Arhat, They then use the Arhat body to help you. You see:  "Immediately Thanh Van himself personally" . The body itself is visible. Buddhas of Tathagata, Dharmakaya Buddha, they use the body of Thanh Van to appear to help you.

On the back, there is:  "Herons being sentient beings stubbornly unfriendly . " Preferring Arhat is one thing, in fact the identity of each person is still not the same, so the Bodhisattva Buddha manifests immeasurable body, so the true Bodhisattva Buddha can spread the sentient beings . We have studied Buddhism for so many years and have not yet graduated because of what reason? We always have to be thorough, we cannot blame Bodhisattva Buddha.

"Shakyamuni Buddha said that beings don't become Buddhas, He doesn't become Buddhas. I am a being yet to become a Buddha, why did he become a Buddha ”?  Ask me such a problem. He has resentment, resentment of Shakyamuni Buddha not to the point where he, himself, becomes Buddha. He did not understand this ethic. Although you are ordained, Theravada Monk has not yet witnessed, you still have a serious attachment to self, your body is you, you are also opposed to Bodhisattva Buddha, you are still very deep prejudice, so Buddha is compassionate cannot help you, we call it cannot be blessed. The Tathagata Buddhas bless all sentient beings relative, it is also said that you have a part of elaborate austerities, they bless a part, you have two parts austerities austerities, they bless the two part. You do not have any elaborate, how do they bless?

When we recite the Buddha's name when we come together to elaborate into mass, that is affirmation, why? Not to be meticulously into the block can not be reborn. What is elaborately called a block? People recite the Buddha's mind only "Amitabha Buddha", in addition to "Amitabha Buddha" does not have any one concept, this is called elaborately into block. The moment of death, one second a minute, there is only "Amitabha Buddha" inside, no other ideas are okay. So, sharing a concept to ten concepts must be reborn as this moral. If when there is a Buddha verse still in mind, there is no way, they cannot achieve it.

How can we keep a final thought when we die clearly and thoroughly, without thoughts? This is important, this relationship is too great! So normally reciting Buddha's name is like training soldiers, every day training, training troops, sharing the concept that is fighting the enemy, deciding to win the battle, so day practice. What is the reason for not practicing the reciting day after day? Do not let go. If you make it until you let go of the body, the boundaries, the ants, the ants, the wrong views, you are reborn. Should not say this standard of Buddha. This standard, if you can do it, you claim that you will be reborn, you will be reborn in the Land of Great Bliss, not in the Holy Land of the Co-Residents, but in the Realm of Residents. I am often said to you, let go of self-interest, let go of self-interest, let go of fame, let go of sex six ceiling, let go of greed-si-side, born of the realms of the Holy Land. If letting go of the five ants or, they immediately return to the Realm of Wealth. The Realm of Wealth is the dharma realm of the four saints, they are born of Thanh Van. If the fourth or fourth paragraph, fourth or what? Wrong thought, is the five types of greed-yard-si-chronic-doubt. Greed, hatred, ignorance, arrogance, and skepticism all ended, no more, this man recited Buddha's name, he reborn in the Realm of Wealth. This dignity is high. You all know four degrees, three grades, nine products, each degree has three orders of nine. The Realms of Land have three levels of nine products, and the Land of Media also have three levels of nine. The same reasons are self-sufficient in nature. The Realm of Wealth is the dharma realm of the four saints, they are born of Thanh Van. If the fourth or fourth paragraph, fourth or what? Wrong thought, is the five types of greed-yard-si-chronic-doubt. Greed, hatred, ignorance, arrogance, and skepticism all ended, no more, this man recited Buddha's name, he reborn in the Realm of Wealth. This dignity is high. You all know four degrees, three grades, nine products, each degree has three orders of nine. The Realms of Land have three levels of nine products, and the Land of Media also have three levels of nine. The same reasons are self-sufficient in nature. The Realm of Wealth is the dharma realm of the four saints, they are born of Thanh Van. If the fourth or fourth paragraph, fourth or what? Wrong thought, is the five types of greed-yard-si-chronic-doubt. Greed, hatred, ignorance, arrogance, and skepticism all ended, no more, this man recited Buddha's name, he reborn in the Realm of Wealth. This dignity is high. You all know four degrees, three grades, nine products, each degree has three orders of nine. The Realms of Land have three levels of nine products, and the Land of Media also have three levels of nine. The same reasons are self-sufficient in nature. nine products, each degree has three nine-level product. The Realms of Land have three levels of nine products, and the Land of Media also have three levels of nine. The same reasons are self-sufficient in nature. nine products, each degree has three nine-level product. The Realms of Land have three levels of nine products, and the Land of Media also have three levels of nine. The same reasons are self-sufficient in nature. "Any doubt the full nature of capital available" , the full nature of capital. We are right in the daily life of spiritual practice, so that the kind of virtuous energy in the nature, which is fully and naturally present, is present. Just like our present world, the present world is also the mental consciousness.

Currently the world accident coincides. Where did the accident come from? From the unwholesome mind, it is also said that greed-anger-doubt-suspects a turn, self-interest, and fame-benefit variable appear. If we understand the cessation of accidents, bring these things to an end, including all unwholesome notions that end, unwholesome behaviors all over, this worldly accident will cease to exist.

Fifth, Single Sense Body.

Pratyekabuja in Sanskrit is called Pratyekabuddha, which is Pratyekabuddha, higher than Arahant. An Arhat, though letting go of attachments, has a set of attachments. The practice of attachment before the end is called Pratyekabuddha is the Pratyeka Buddha. Why is it called Enlightenment? "The Buddha comes out of the chi chi alone, the monk is the monk, the figure is transformed, the monk is enlightened, the monopoly is simple" . This person is intelligent. Just told you, up and down the sky seven times, this is the seventh time. From heaven to earth again, the world has no Buddha.

You must know, the world of Buddha's time is very short, the time without Buddha is long. You listen to Shakyamuni Buddha tell us. He appeared in the world, according to our history more than 3,000 thousand years ago. He appears to be a human body, 32 good general, 80 beauty, 80 years posture. The Chinese we count the old age, 80 years old passed away. According to the calculation of foreigners, full year is 79 years old. Influence of his teachings, in Buddhism is called Dharma. Said the dhammas largely do not understand, we call his influence, influence is twelve thousand years. The influence of the teaching of Buddha Da, now three thousand years have passed, after this is still nine thousand years, after nine thousand years will no longer affect. Shakyamuni Buddha this time is considered the past, must wait for the next Buddha to appear, this world has Buddha. The next Buddha is Maitreya Buddha, now he is Maitreya Bodhisattva, and he is going to become Buddha in the future. When is it? You see in "Maitreya Ha Sanh Kinh" speak very thoroughly. He is now in the Exodus. From heaven, Tushita descended, if calculated according to our time here is fifty-six thousand and seven thousand thousand years. You should know, fifty-six thousand and seven thousand thousand years without Buddha, without Buddha Dharma, without the Triple Gem. So you know, the time of having Buddha is very short, the time without Buddha is very long. fifty-six thousand and seven thousand thousand years without Buddha, without Buddha Dharma, without the Triple Gem. So you know, the time of having Buddha is very short, the time without Buddha is very long. fifty-six thousand and seven thousand thousand years without Buddha, without Buddha Dharma, without the Triple Gem. So you know, the time of having Buddha is very short, the time without Buddha is very long.

Studying of these Thanh Van people, the heavenly gods come to the last time when they want to see the result, if they want to get out of the six realms of reincarnation but cannot see that this world has Buddha's appearance, there's no need to worry, no Buddha also, they can be enlightened, they are enlightened. You see  "loneliness alone", they went alone into the deep mountains, where they practiced spiritually, looking for a mountain cave of transforming objects. Animals are phenomena of nature, flowers, trees, spring summer autumn and winter. See these things change, self-enlightened masters, suddenly enlightened. Why do they have this ability? We know that, even in their past lives, they were at least seven generations of unbroken spiritual practice, so their realm increased from Theravada to Prayer to Tu Da Ham the second fruit, A Na Ham third result, Arhat the fourth fruit, constantly elevated. Each time returning to heaven in the world, they immediately raise one step further, so the seventh stage is full. Without a teacher, they can also be enlightened, and they can realize the result too. These seven times are the four directions.

Today we elaborately have no power, why is that? We even go to the wrong direction, not at the right direction. The paragraph or, this is preliminary results, we did not show this success of their own practice. Although reciting the Buddha's name, the body of view, the viewpoints and the prejudices are very serious, so the elaboration of reciting the Buddha has no power and does not know how to recite Buddha's name. Who knows how to recite Buddha's name? The way of thinking of a wrong way of seeing arose, then "Amitabha Buddha" immediately pressed it down, so it was good to recite the Buddha's name. We are in conflict with others, we are in opposition to others, we are in conflict with others, this idea or the incident has just arisen, then "Amitabha Buddha" immediately strikes it away. This direction is correct. The greedy mind has just started, "Amitabha Buddha" immediately overcomes it. No argument is greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy, even to taking Dharma, if the greed arises, "Amitabha Buddha". Anger arises, the "Amitabha Buddha" does not allow it to work. This Buddha verse has the power, bringing your defilements to practice to beat them all, this is called reciting Buddha's name. People do not know how to recite Buddha's name, on the one hand to recite Buddha's name, on the one hand, to intercourse with afflictions. Disturbing together reciting Buddha's name together, the elaboration of the whole was broken, so when it came time to die, old Master Li said People do not know how to recite Buddha's name, on the one hand to recite Buddha's name, on the one hand, to intercourse with afflictions. Disturbing together reciting Buddha's name together, the elaboration of the whole was broken, so when it came time to die, old Master Li said People do not know how to recite Buddha's name, on the one hand to recite Buddha's name, on the one hand, to intercourse with afflictions. Disturbing together reciting Buddha's name together, the elaboration of the whole was broken, so when it came time to die, old Master Li said  "how is samsara still has to be like that" , you are still being possessed by karma, unable to escape the six realms of reincarnation. This morality cannot be known.

This is to say how Enlightenment is okay. They have a very close relationship with Thanh Van.

Saying  "Bodhisattva tri sentient beings beings mind" , there is a type of being that admires the Pratyeka Buddha, of course it also appears at the time when there is no Buddha appearing. Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha are completely lost in this world, and Pratyekabuddha appears in the world, and there are also spiritual practitioners. People in the past had good wholesome desires, and they admired these austerities. There are this kind of people who think of this aspiration, Buddhas Bodhisattvas, Dharma Bodhisattvas, also depending on the sentient beings' minds according to their preferences, using the Enlightenment body to appear in the world,  "according to the feeling of the self-arisen body itself " , to guide sentient beings. From here, you can see the great compassion of the Bodhisattva Buddha, which truly makes us enlightenment to  "Buddha of the Middle School, the most unselfish person".. The true Bodhisattva Buddha comes to educate sentient beings when there is no Buddha, so he says not to let go of anyone. One has the feeling, They immediately respond, touch correspondence. Many people have a cold, Buddha immediately applied itself. A person who has a cold, Buddha often uses reincarnation, meets with you once, teaches you some methods, when you leave then you no longer see him, the reincarnation.

Like the old Venerable Hu Van from the previous day, worshiping Dai Dai Son, took three steps and bowed down. You see from the South to the North, three steps at a time, it takes two - three years to get there. Usually at night, resting in the open fields is like a Shakyamuni Buddha under a tree to sleep for one night. The present person blessed is not equal to the ancients, from where can he be seen? From health that said. The ancients are very good, the health of the present cannot be compared to the ancients. If we go out to the fields and sleep, I find that only one night is spent, the second day you have to go to the hospital and lie down, how can you be compared with the Bodhisattva Buddha, so it is impossible to avoid illness. Hu Lao was on the way sick several times, when he was seriously ill, lying on the side of the road unable to get up, Bodhisattva Manjushri came. Bodhisattva Manjushri show what body? The appearance of a beggar's body. The beggar called Hoa Tu, who met this renunciate lying on the road, came to look after him. After five or six days, when his health recovered, he left. Over a very long time, the second time he fell ill again, very strangely, he met a beggar. He was very grateful to the beggar who saved him, to appeal to the beggar: "What is His name, home somewhere?" . He said to him, “My name is Van Kiet (Van of Manjushri Bodhisattva, Kiet of the auspicious). My house is on Wutai Mountain, doesn't he want to go to Wutai Mountain ? He went to Wutai Mountain, everyone in that area knew. "  He said,  "Yes! I went to Wutai Mountain and bowed to Bodhisattva Manjushri ". Damaged after coming to Wutai Mountain to ask everywhere, this beggar saved him twice. Others told him, the person he met was Bodhisattva Manjushri, he suddenly understood. So people just need to be sincere, naturally touched by the Bodhisattva Buddhas, when you have problems, come and help you. When helping you, you also do not know, then think about it to understand, honesty is not fake. In the Venerable Void's "Chronicle", we trust that the Venerable Venerable did not deceive us.

Therefore, the Bodhisattva knows the mind of sentient beings, using the Enlightened Body to apply, as well as the body of sentient beings, sometimes not so, not certain. As Bodhisattva Manjushri is begging, not necessarily showing what his body looks like,  "even if nothing is done". You are very tired at night, meeting this place with a big tree, very thick shade, where it rested very well, maybe the Bodhisattva Buddha appeared. After you leave, the next tree will be found next time. These events are not only in the Buddhist house, in the Tao school, but also in other religions, called divine powers, inconceivable. In fact, if we read the "Sutra of the Avatamsaka Sutra," we know that these things are not accidental and do not leave the law of cause and effect. You have what kind of cause, you feel that karmic retribution. The body of nothingness is also a natural phenomenon, this type of phenomenon helps you to feel, help you enter. Because it is possible to know that, in the worldly dharma form, it is not coincidental, always in sincerity to touch the Bodhisattva Buddha, to the heavenly demons, to all beings,END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.18/10/2019.
