I myself heard this: One day, the Buddha entered Right concentration (Chon mind) is the abode of the Buddhas, which is also the pure and lucid place of sentient beings.

Buddha depending upon the realm of non-duality (not two) is the place of equal nature of beings and Buddhas. This nature is pure and full throughout the armor

Ten directions, the mind and the scene are still (the dharma falls are not).

From this "non-dual" realm, there appeared to the Pure Land realms and the ten thousand Bodhisattvas, such as Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, and Prussian Bodhisattva. , Mr. Kim Cang Bodhisattva, Mr. Maitreya Bodhisattva, Mr. Thanh Tinh Hue Bodhisattva, Mr. Uy Duc Tu At Bodhisattva, Mr. Dieu Yin Bodhisattva, Mr. Tinh Chu Nghiep Bodhisattva, Mr. Pho Giac Bodhisattva, he Vien Giac Bodhisattva, Mr. Hien Thien Thu Bodhisattva, etc. These Bodhisattvas, who are annoyed by the Venerable Master in the congregation, together with their retinue, enter into the concentration of concentration, dwelling in the pure and equal Dharma assembly of Tathagata (in Vien Giac).

THE SOLUTION

"Vien Giac" means only for "Pure mind". So to speak and listen to the pure realm, of course, we cannot stay in the awakened state of mind and speak and hear, so Buddha entered the Right concentration to say the Enlightenment Sutra, the Bodhisattvas also entered the Concentration, heard and understood. Vien Giac. The Buddhists recite this Sutta, first they must concentrate on their mind to understand it.

This great idea is that Buddha and Bodhisattva enter Right concentration to speak and listen to the Vien Giac.

B. FINAL RELIGION

Lesson 1: CHAPTER VAN THUY

1. HE VAN AN QUESTION BUDDHIST

At that time, the Manjushri Bodhisattva in the assembly stood up, walked around the right side of the Buddha for three rounds, then prostrated his hands and knelt straight and said,

- Venerable Venerable Mahā-Bodhisattva, ask Him for hearing in this present meeting and for the beings to pray for the Mahayana life, compassionately teach:

1. Re-talk the Tathagata's pure religious practice;

2. The Bodhisattva, for the Mahayana, has developed a pure mind (Bodhi) already, how to get away from the sick (except for hope); causing beings not to fall into evil ways (wrong view).

Bodhisattva Venerable Bodhisattva sometimes like that three times, prostrate and then go back, along with the mass of sitting quietly, waiting to hear the Buddha's teachings.

SOLUTION The  idea of ​​this paragraph is that Mr. Manjushri asked Buddha two things:

1. How did Buddha practice to become a Buddha?

2. The Bodhisattvas, when they have generated the Bodhi mind, how can they not be born?

The first question is the same as the one in the Shurangama Sutta, Ananda asked the Buddha: "... Please teach me the method that all the Buddhas cultivate to become enlightened ..." .

The second question, similar to the one in the Kim-Cang Sutta, Tu Bodhi asked the Buddha: "... How to remain seated in the heart and how to surrender to the mind ..." (Van ha Falcon, etc.

2. BUDDHISM BUDDHISM

At that time the Blessed One called upon Man Manjushri Bodhisattva, saying,

- Behold, Thien nam, precious! He asked the present Bodhisattvas and all sentient beings after the Mahayana dharma to ask:

1. In the monastic terrain of Tathagata;

2. When the mind has pure tranquility, how to leave the sick, to avoid falling into wrong view. So listen attentively, I will because you teach.

At that time, the Manjushri Bodhisattva and the general public were happy, both respectful and attentive to the Buddha's teachings. 

THE SOLUTION

Buddha praised before, and then advised to listen attentively, is because "Vien Giac" is the pure realm, must focus the mind to listen to the spirit, can not use the mind to be destroyed, thoughts that xuyen that hear.

3. BUDDHIST RESPONSE TO HE VAN THUY

- Hey Thien nam, Tathagata has the "Dai Da-la-ni" (1) named "Vien Giac". From this "Vien Giac" nature that spawned all the pure dharmas: Chon as, Bodhi (Wisdom) Nirvana (Vien President) and Brahmin (Abhidharma), now I will teach you .

Behold, Manjushri, the monk of the Buddhas, is this "Vien Giac", who has forever eradicated ignorance, and is fully enlightened, so that he can become a Buddha. So what is "ignorance"?

THE SOLUTION

Mr. Manjushri asked the Buddhist monk how to practice Here came the Buddha to answer: All the Buddhas are "Vien Giac" to project ignorance and become a Buddha. What is: Chon as, Bodhi, Nirvana and Bat Nha Ba la suite etc ... are also from "Vien Giac" that saved.

So want to enlightenment "Vien Giac" first to understand Ignorance and eradicate Ignorance is the most necessary thing.

4. BUDDHISM FOR "INVALID"

- Behold, Thien nam, all sentient beings from time to time, have many crazy dishes that distract the nature of "Vien Giac", like a lost person, confused the four directions. Crazy island expectation appears body and mind, then mistakenly recognizes the body of these four false beings as body, accept the expectation of being reborn in the shadow of the six ceiling to be truly mind. Like a person gazing at the eye, there are no spotted flowers, or a second moon. In fact, nowhere in the sky there are no spotted flowers or the second moon, but because people gaze at the eyes accept. By hoping to accept, should not only not know nowhere, but more delusion: accept real flowers spotting birth. Because of delusion that there is samsara, should be called "Ignorance".

THE SOLUTION

This paragraph Buddha pointed out the "Ignorance". Ignorance is the crazy delusion that obscures the "Vien Giac" nature (pure mind).

By Ignorance appears to have the scene and beings back to accept the true self, France created countless karma, her husband dazed, conceal nature Vien Giac! Because of that many lives of samsara and samsara in the sea of ​​suffering. 

Just as people who are sleepy (for ignorance) emerge, making the mind become confused (for Vien Giac); Therefore, there was a vision of all people and things (showing the world and sentient beings), and they also cried and laughed, and were happy and angry, each thought to be a loss, so there was constant love, from the dream This continued through another dream, not knowing until awakening.

This is an example for the Ignorance of her husband to obscure the "Vien Giac" nature.

5. TEACHING "EVERYDAY" DOESN'T HAVE A BODY

- Behold, Thien Nam! This "Ignorance" has no real (real thing). Like a sleeper who dreamed, saw scenes, and when he was awake, the scenery was gone; and like a man restless, the blossoms in vain destroy themselves. At that time, it was impossible to say, "There is a place where the flowers die."

All beings in the "not being kill" (Tanh Vien Giac) that expect to see being eradicated, should be incarcerated in the sea of ​​birth and death.

THE SOLUTION

This paragraph teaches the Buddha: All beings are still in the pure nature of Vien Giac, which is not born and does not die, but deluded by themselves (ignorance), hoping to be born and destroyed, so forever and ever, the bed will be rolling in the sea. Samsara, how sadly!

But "Ignorance" is vanity-hope, there is no real, so when enlightened then it will end. Just like the "Dark", because it has no reality, so when "Bright" comes, "Dark" will disappear. If Ignorance is a real thing, like a mountain, like a river etc ... then it's not easy to get rid of it.

Buddha again billions-example: Ignorance as dream, not real, so when awake then the dream scene itself. Ignorance as the eyes of people are chewed, see spotted flowers wandering in the middle of nowhere, when the chewing is gone, the flowers immediately target.

6. BUDDHISM FOLLOWS UNDER "MEMBERS"

- Behold, Thien nam is a monk of the Tathagata practice of Vien Giac. That is: knowing all the illusory things, such as the spotted flower in the middle of nowhere, is no longer being reborn and there is no one who will be reborn. 

Not to sabotage, to make things go away but to say no, the very nature of the dharma itself is not. That "knows (knows) things," as well as nothingness. "The know is like nothing", not always. But it is impossible to say: "There is no known". Must eliminate all "yes" and "no", so called "depending upon nature Giac Vien" (Vien Giac Vien). 

THE SOLUTION

This paragraph taught the Buddha tu "Vien Giac", there were 5 once frustrated: 

1. Each of the first frustrations, are all French illusory, such as spotting flowers in the middle of nowhere, so not being mindful of greed, hatred and delusion. Three poisons are not born, so the three karmic body, speech and mind do not create karma. Because there is no karma, there is no reincarnation and people being reincarnated.

2. On saying "scene known" does not, to mention every second is "the mind to know" as well as nowhere.

3. To every third, the know "the mind knows as well as nowhere" is not always.

4. Afraid of the wrong people in this world without knowing, should come every fourth, Buddha continued: "not without knowledge".

5. By the fifth day, the Buddha taught to leave the attachments of "yes" and "no" to enter the nature of Vien Giac.

7.  BUDDHISM AND BUDDHISM FOLLOWS UNDER "MEMBERS"

Why? Because in the Tathagata (Vien Giac), there is no arising and passing, there is no knowing, as nowhere is often left, as is not moving, as the nature of dharmata is fullness across the ten directions.

This is called the geographical location of the Tathagata, the Bodhisattva also thanks to this place that emits pure mind following Mahayana. Beings also have to follow the following practices, from falling into wrong view. 

THE SOLUTION

Tathagata is the Tathagata nature containing all dharma; also called "Vien Giac", also called "France world before" (the nature of the law). It is full of armor across the ten directions, without being killed and without knowledge, as nowhere is often not moving.

Buddha taught: This is where the practice of Tathagata. The Bodhisattvas also multiply here, the pure mind of Mahayana. Beings also have life after this new austerities from straying into evil.

Mr. Manjushri asked 2 questions:

1. In the monastic terrain of Tathagata.

2. The Bodhisattva's mind Bodhisattva's mind follows Mahayana, how to break down the expectations? Here Buddha taught it.

8. BUDDHIST SAYING THE ABSTRACT LETTER OF THE ABOVE

Then the Blessed One, wanting to summarize the above meanings, said the verse:

Van Man! He must know:

The feet of austerities

Of the Tathagata

Is to use Vien Giac

Destroy all Ignorance:

Know the legal illusory

Then from being reincarnated.

Like the dreamer,

Wake up then all dreams.

The know is no longer available

Lucid throughout the ten directions (Vien Giac),

Equality does not move,

Instant Buddhism.

The illusory is gone, 

Being enlightened also doesn't work:

This ancient nature fullness.

Bodhisattva y here, 

Phat mind great Bodhi,

The next beings,

Tu from here. 

THE SOLUTION

General idea of ​​this verse: The Buddha used Vien Giac position to destroy ignorance. Means: Know everything is illusory, like flowers spotted in the middle of nowhere, not being pre-infected mind, should not be reincarnated.

The enlightened one is also like the one who awakens the dream: the scenes are no longer - The "known" scene has not, so the "known" (energy knows) does not. Because energy and facilities are not so new Vien Giac Tanh appears throughout all ten directions, equality does not move, so is "becoming a Buddha".

Saying "a Buddha" is a temporary thing only, actually it is not "a". Because "Vien Giac" of each person is available, except for all "Ignorance" then "Vien Giac" appears, there is nothing called "success".

Just like a person who has a pearl in his pocket, it 's just because he forgot it, so he prints it out. If remember, the pearl is still available in the pocket, not new "to". Therefore should say "enlightenment also fails".

The Buddha followed this Giac Vien to cultivate, and the Bodhisattva also follows this Giac Vien, generating the Bodhi mind, until the next being also has to follow this Giac Vien to refrain from straying into the wrong path. . END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.17/1/2020.
