Illusion in Vietnamese Buddhism.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

Human life is just a turn to nothing, and rushing after it is pitiful. If one knows this "hidden identity" is as illusory, then one is in that revolution but still beyond the impermanence.

The basis of Buddhism is emptiness. The wisdom of emptiness (Bat-elegant Ba-la-secret) is common to all three vehicles: Thanh Van, Autonomous, and Bo-slapped. The Sutta of Prajnaparamita says:

"The good men and women and women who want to study the level of Literature must listen to Prajnaparamita to recite and recite the practice. People who want to study the Buddha's Enlightenment also have to listen to the Bat-elegant to recite the recitation and practice. People who want to learn the Bodhisattva also have to listen to Prajnaparamita to recite and recite the practice memory.

Why? Because in Wisdom Ba-la-broad talk about the three vehicles, should Thanh Van, Single, Bo-slapped all must learn.

Thanks to tu Khong, tu huy huyễn ("naturally self-sustaining, only virtue is service") that proves as illusory ("no picture, like a shadow like wine, no sign, no up and down, no trace"). The obscurations due to real attachments are gone ("the dust has ended"), and thus liberation: there are no four generals, people, beings, and false beings; there is not even samsara here and Nirvana over there ("mind not here and there").

As illusory is an aspect of emptiness, even synonymous with emptiness. Only the Zen teachers in his flexible meditation, from the 6th century to the 13th century, of the Zen Zen monks, and the Vo Ngon Thong, there are 68 Zen masters, 24 of them talk about illusory. This is a lot more than China and Japan. Can illusory be a characteristic of Vietnamese Buddhism? Here, we extract a few verses to find out.

The two Zen masters who initiated the two Zen sects, Bhikkhu-ni-da-chi-chi (? -602) and Vo Ngon Thong (? -826), taught "the mind of the Buddhas" and "The pure, clear mind ", Ie the mind which is emptiness. Emptiness in its manifestation is like illusory. As the Bat-elegant discourse in every daily chanting: "Sac means No, No means Sac", thus, color is like illusory. Elderly Elder Huong Huong (? -1050) 6th generation Vo Ngon line Notice shelves:

The duty is not foreign

The country of origin is truth

Legs like illusory

Is Huyen angry?

"No country" is emptiness, but emptiness is not nothing. Sac contact tactile flavor has seen, can hear, but is "illusory have": "such leg illusory illusory". "Is illusory not angry": yes that illusory, so means not.

Mahayana often says that "the true magic vacuum" is the magic magical "illusory property".

Human life is just a turn to nothing, and rushing after it is pitiful. If one knows this "hidden identity" is as illusory, then one is in that revolution but still beyond the impermanence.

Zen master Tri (16th generation, Bhikkhu-ni-da-chi-chi) at the age of 27 heard Zen master Gioi Khong teach the Diamond Sutta, to the phrase "All compounded, such as dreaming of bubbles, like dew like electric lightning, contemplate it like that ”, suddenly suddenly enlightened, he went down to the monk's hair. Su has a poem:

Protein self-preservation

Only virtue is the duty

Good words earnestly say:

The mind is not here, there

The dust has ended

Day and night up and down

Not shaped to cylindrical

Like a ball echoing

No sign to come.

Thanks to tu Khong, tu huy huyễn ("naturally self-sustaining, only virtue is service") that proves as illusory ("no picture, like a shadow like wine, no sign, no up and down, no trace"). The obscurations due to real attachments are gone ("the dust has ended"), and thus liberation: there are no four generals, people, beings, and false beings; there is not even samsara here and Nirvana over there ("mind not here and there").

Zen master Vien Chieu (999-1090) has a poem:

The body is like a wall that has been shaken

The world rushes pitifully

If the mind is clear, not form

Identity does not hide and move.

Human life is just a turn to nothing, and rushing after it is pitiful. If one knows this "hidden identity" is as illusory, then one is in that revolution but still beyond the impermanence.

History is impermanent prosperity, but he attained enlightenment, in vain use ("take advantage"), so he was not afraid of the impermanent but illusory prosperity of history. Making history but not involved, being dragged because of evidence such as illusory tam-soot, useless terrain is like that.

Here, we learn two Zen masters who made history, one of whom is Van Hanh (? -1025) who indirectly founded the Ly dynasty, and one who is Tran Thai Tong (1218-1277), the direct one. founded the Tran dynasty, to understand how their attitude towards history was.

Ly's birth was foretold by Zen master Dinh Khong (? - 808) by changing the name of his village to Co Phap, the village where Van Hanh was born and Ly Cong Uan was also from this village. Zen master Dinh Khong is the 8th generation of the Bhikkhu-ni-da-chi-chi. The instructions of Zen master Dinh Khong are not transmitted by Elder La Quy, the 10th generation. The 11 th generation is Zen Dao Dao Gia, who is also from Co Phap village and ordained with Elder La Quy. By the 12 th Great Monk Van Hanh, that prediction was turned into reality by Van Hanh, advising Ly Cong Uan to become King to start the Ly dynasty. Such a point to see that the creation of the Ly life was due to the many Zen masters of the Bhikkhu-ni-saved-chi-lineage.

Zen master Van Hanh made history, his poem passed away like this:

Body as lightning has not

Fresh spring grass, wilting

Nhap fortunate failure fear

Prosperous failure of grass dew head.

In the verse, we see three words "shadow, lightning." dew "is in the seven words of the last verse of the Diamond Sutta to indicate the mind as illusory. History is impermanent prosperity, but he attained enlightenment, in vain use ("take advantage"), so he was not afraid of the impermanent but illusory prosperity of history. Making history but not involved, being dragged because of evidence such as illusory tam-soot, useless terrain is like that.

King Tran Thai Tong, the first king of the Tran Dynasty, was enlightened when he read the Diamond Sutta during his reign. He was an activist who directly defeated the Mongols at the first invasion. In the words of Confucianism, he rounded up the "inner saints, the foreign king". With such an arrogant and successful life, he still considered it as a dream. Advancing others, the king said, for example, The grand opening is long. Increasingly immersed in the ceiling, each time the immense profundity is endless. Do not know a member Tanh, just let go of craving of the six bases. Fame for life, nothing is not a great dream school. Riches scare people, hard from two impermanent words. Painting us against people, ultimately not; show off good, in the end nothing real ".

Kinh said, "do but actually not do", "illusory people work illusory". That is the doing of emptiness.

Teaching others, he spoke like a dream. Until himself, he also proved as illusory as dreaming:

"The original four elements without capital, the five aggregates do not have. Do not think that expectation, hope into excellence, identity is a vacuum. Vọng was from No, in but without expectation, expectation of being. Contrary to the fact that there is no birth without chemistry, but forever there is chemistry with being ”.

(Tu Son theory)

In the Faculty of Penance, he wrote:

"Ninth, vow when you look, except for vision of illusory eyes."

And:

"The drums beat the dream like that".

In his verse of the story of Tue Trung Sen, he wrote:

Bright often free

Also squinting to do

See the monster (which) did not see the monster

That monster must be septic.

He must live in the world, in a plot of Tran Thu Do was forced to become a king, again participating in the war of defending the country, must live in the world of appearance: "also squinting as a monster". But because tu proved as illusory as a dream, so "seeing a monster (but) did not see a monster" because knowing that it was like a dream like a dream, the monster did not affect him, "he must be septic".

The two Zen masters who made history saw history as a dreamlike illusory game. Therefore, living the life of action, creating karma (action) for others, but that action is as illusory as a dream, the mind is still "bright and free."

Kinh said, "do but actually not do", "illusory people work illusory". That is the doing of emptiness. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.13/11/2019.
