Lesson 10:  BUDDHIST TEACHING TU.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

I. A TALK ABOUT MY TEACHER WAS DROUGHT AND THE BUDDHISM IS JUST TEACHING THE METHODS OF Austerities TO ENTER THE MIND

Mr. A Nan and the masses were told by the Buddha very thoroughly, so the doubts were eradicated, enlightened to the feet ( real generals ), but did not know how to enter the certificate, so they bowed to Buddha and clapped their hands together. respectfully say:

-World Religion, He used all means to lead us out of the river suffering miserable. Today, we have enlightened our feet, turning all over the ten directions of the world, but we still get rebuked by the Tathagata, learning a lot without practicing, not like the person who takes care of practice.

Now we are like a poor person, who is bestowed by the Heavenly King on a nice building, but we don't know how to get in. Bow to Tathagata to teach us, to be in the knowledge of the Buddha (the mind-foot-door ).

II. BUDDHIST TEACHING METHODS TU

Buddha taught Ananda and the mass:

- If you develop the Bodhi mind, with respect to the spiritual practices, you will increase your concentration and the mind will not treat you. When you first generate the mind, you must clearly distinguish the two decisive meanings.

III. MEANING OF THE FIRST DECISION

- Hey Ananda! You want to leave Hinayana Hinayana, follow Mahayana Bodhisattva, into the knowledge of the Buddha, then first have to observe the geographic location with the results that will prove to be copper or other?

If you use the expectation of arising and passing away to become a monk, and wish for the Buddhas to not even be eradicated, then it cannot be. This is the first decision.

THE SOLUTION

The Buddha before taught: If you use the aspiration of the mind to become a monk, but you want to remain fruitful, then like a sand-maker wants to make rice, you will not be able to experience many lifetimes. Practitioners must remain in the mind as the spiritual practice, the new Buddha fruit to be immortal.

***

- Ananda! He consider considered: in the world of what has made, shall perish, but have not heard one nowhere has perishes ever, because nowhere is not the object being made that ( nowhere example chon , the object is the expectation of mind has birth and death ).

In his body, flexible objects ( skin, flesh, tendons, bones ) were earth; wet objects ( blood, blood, sweat, fat ) are water; warm, hot substance in a person belongs to fire; removable objects ( breath in and out ) are windy. Because these four dishes are blissful and divide his feet, so they can see, hear, or, know, from the general solstice five layers of opaque ( five factors ).

For example, if the water is clean, someone takes dust and throws it in, then the soil loses its solidity, and the water loses its clean substance, becomes dull, so it is called pollution.

An Nan! Now he wants to show, hear, or know ( the senses ) back to join the four nirvana of Tathagata: often, bliss, fall, and tranquility, before he has to choose the root of birth and death ( Hope mind ) and according to the pure mind chon fullness any unborn undying do multiplication on austerities.

THE SOLUTION

Because it is still in the loop, so called senses: see, hear, or know; until enlightenment then the senses come back into the four nirvana: often, lost, fallen, pure.

We should also distinguish clearly for the meaning: 1. feet, 2. senses, 3. expectations of discrimination. Like the clear sea water (for example, Chon Chon), flowing into the rivers mixed with muddy mud (for the feet to be revealed in the bases and the senses; (example for expectations of discrimination).

***

- You guys turn the delusion of being eradicated back to pure mind without being; Must take Chon not being born killers as Nhon tu austerities, then the new Buddha was evidence of office.

How to practice as well as slang. Opaque water to remain quiet in a vase, so long as the dust gradually sink, but the clear water appears; the quieter the water, the clearer the water. This is an example for the first stage, when the new goods to overcome the impurities of the naked guests ( both silent and afflicted ). Until filter removal of the muddy only all clear water, is for example for the second stage, when the basic except ignorance.

Until it was just pure water, it was still clear even if it was shaken. But when the passage is basically ignorant, only pure feet of money appear, at that time even though there is artifact work done all things, but it is also feet, still united with the pure purity of Nirvana. , no more disturbing disturbances.

THE SOLUTION

This paragraph is very good; Buddha taught the practice very clearly and realistically. In harmony with the preceding paragraph, the Buddha taught: "When the opposite scene does not start to distinguish, then hope is not born. Hope not to be self-arisen mind over time ”.

Just like standing water, the crumbling scales sink. The longer you wait, the clearer the water. Until the end of the basic ignorance, only the whole mind, the action of vi chi is also pure. Should say: "Tathagata enough light, seals, etc. ..." (Buddha had just let his feet, the sea in light). As the water has removed the sediment, the shaking is still clear. This paragraph also indicates the meaning of "becoming a Buddha and not returning to being sentient beings".

Other religions, though highly sublime, do not just like slang but have not removed the residue. Sometimes troubles arise, they must fall back, so called property illegally (still sa).

IV. SECOND DECISION

- Ananda, you develop a strong mind, decide to eliminate the compounded generals, the Mahayana sphere, then you need to consider the root of defilements: From beginninglessness to now, which one is the development of ignorance ( any unexpected expectations dynamic ) which leap is being ignorant ( craving, prime ) what created ( hexagonal ), what life ( bowl of knowledge ). This is the second decision meaning.

The Bodhi priests, if not considering the root of defilement, then for the root and ceiling of this disappointment, it is impossible to know where the "crazy" is. The accommodation did not even know how to overcome the enemy's afflictions to attain Buddhahood.

Look in the world, those who open the gout, if they cannot see the termites, they cannot expect to open it. I've never heard of the unreachable by anyone, because the invisible nothing has gout and opening ( nowhere for the feet) .

He should understand: his present six bases: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, they matchmaking for six enemies ( six consciousness ), to rob the treasure of his house. Therefore, they and all sentient beings, from beginningless to present, are blamed in the cycle of reincarnation, not beyond the three realms.

THE SOLUTION

Because of the six bases of matchmaking, leading to the birth of six consciousness are six pirates, robbing feet of nature. That is because of the base of the scene, the concept of commencing discrimination, the feet of mind must be blurred. Just as the wind stirred, the grimy rose up, so the nature of the water had to be hidden.

V. BECAUSE ENHANCING SHOULD BE CHAMED BY HAM

Hey Ananda, his six bases, thus hopelessly emerged, so his feet were hidden. From here onwards, every time the screening, including expectations are broadcast.

Therefore, leaving darkness and light, when his eyes could not see, moving and pure, his ears would not hear, leave pine and stuffy, his nose would not smell, leave the taste of the tongue when he did not taste, leave the exposed exposed body. He did not know, leaving the legal ceiling, he did not distinguish.

BECAUSE. RETURN ABOUT CHROU THAN SIX APARTMENT IS AWAY

- Only six of his apartments do not follow the six ceiling scenes of commemorative discrimination, depending on how he opens the gout ( infection expectation ), any of them will be liberated. That is, in addition to not being with the gout scene, in conquering the negativity with the lucid mind, the five gout-bound bases are also completely liberated. At that time the six faculties are intrinsic and need to be used, senses: seeing, hearing, or, knowing, there is no longer being confined to the bases: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, etc. effect; we don't need to have the ceiling of the confrontation and still see, hear, or know.

VII. GUIDE TO SEEING, HEARING, OR KNOWING THE SELF-RELEASE, NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN THE RESTRICTED PLACE

- Ananda! He saw in this society, as Mr. Arahant had no eyes but could still see. Dragon Bat Nan Da no ears that still hear. Goddess of Dà without nostrils that smells. Mr. Kieu Pham Uncle De's tongue is not a human's tongue, but he knows his food. Mr. Than Thuan Nha has no body but still knows how to contact. Mr. Ma Ha Ca Lettuce completely eradicated, except for a long time, but still distinguish clearly.

An Nan! At present, if his roots are completely removed from the tightness of the ceiling ( not according to the differentiated scene ) in conquering the afflictions, returning to the mind then the precursor and the world are no longer available. ; as well as melting hot water, he immediately proved Buddha.

An Nan! Like worldly people, their vision is gathered only in the eyes. If you tell them to close their eyes, then the money is dark, six apartments are opaque, legs and feet are in print. The other man touched his whole body with his hands, but his eyes could not see them, and he knew where they were head and foot; the same understanding ( this is also a proof: the senses are not limited to the base and the ceiling ).

Ananda, seeing, see if dark time does not see. Now do not need to see that light, so that the other night can not blur ( lose ) the "seeing" of him. The base and the expectations are gone, then come back to the feet.

VIII. A NAN NGHI: MONEY SECTOR IS IMPORTANT, WHY DO BUDDHISM LEARN WHERE THAT MAKES THE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA, TO CERTIFY THE BUDDHIST TRUTH

Ananda said: 

- The White World Religion, as the Buddha taught: "To pray for Buddhahood often, then the mind from the heart of spiritual practice has to be true, to prove that it is true."

Bach The Ton! Bodhi, Nirvana, Chon as, Tanh, Yama ma la consciousness, Non-Tathagata and Great Enlightenment, seven other nouns, do not also have a pure Buddha fruit often not corrupt.

As for seeing, hearing, or, knowing, my senses, if I leave the present mundane scenes: dark, light, dynamic, tranquil, etc. ..., time no longer see, hear, or, know more. Hanging around and back and forth, looking diligently, my mind was completely untrue. Why did the Buddha teach this vanishing delusion to become a monk, so that the Buddhas normally would not even be able to kill? So the words of the Buddha before and after each other, how to call it "Tathagata telling the truth", please Lord Ton, mercifully uncover the confusion for us.

IX. BUDDHISM BUDDHISM FOR THE PERMANENTITY OF THE "BUDDHA"

Buddha taught:

- A Nan, though he learned a lot, heard a lot, but the defilements of possession ( delusion ) are not over yet, so he just knows the name "crazy". By the time the "crazy" real money, then he did not know. As such, his beliefs are uncertain. I now bring ordinary things in my life, to eliminate doubts for him.

The Buddha then told Mr. Rahula to ring a bell, and asked Mr. Ananda: 

- Can you hear that?

Ananda said:

- Listen.

When the bell ran out, the Buddha asked again:

- Can you hear that?

Ananda said:

- Unheard.

Buddha asked Mr. Rahula to strike another bell and asked:

- Can you hear that?

Ananda replied:

- Listen.

Buddha asked:

- What is listening and what is not listening?

Ananda said:

- Because the bell rang, I heard it. I didn't hear it until the bell stopped.

Buddha taught:

- Ananda! When the bell rang, he said, "not listening"; if he really didn't have the "hearing", he was like a stone, why did he hear the second bell when he played the second bell?

So said: the "sound" ( scene ) when sometimes not, do not "listen" ( mind ) of him always. If his "hearing" is true, then what is known about that "inaudible"?

So he must know: for the "sound" for the "hearing", the "sound" it arises and passes away, not in his "hearing" ( mind ), not because of the sound of birth, it "has", the sound of death that it "doesn't". Because he went crazy in his coma, taking the "ordinary" ( nature of hearing ) as the cessation of ( noise ), not leaving the six scenes: sharpness, silence, incense, etc., but the senses see, hear, or, His know no.

THE SOLUTION

This is the seventh time, Buddha only very clearly senses: see, hear, etc. .. is mind and often.

X. BUDDHA JUST SLEEP, THE "HEARD" IS NOT LOSS

- The second evidence: Like a person sleeping, lying on a cot, there are people pounding rice, then the other sleeps dreaming, thinking of a drum or a bell, until you wake up before you realize that it is a sound pounding rice.

An Nan! The other sleeper, although for the present scene, they do not know, but their "hearing" does not disappear.

Although his body until the old death died, but that "Tanh" is not because of the old man, died that destroyed. Because sentient beings from beginningless to now, according to the ceiling scene, start hoping to commemorate the difference between gasoline and gasoline, never been enlightened mind is still longer.

Because just depending on the concept of discrimination, leaning on the mind usually head, so eternal pollution, rolling in samsara. So you have to abandon the mindfulness of arising and passing away, following with the root of mind. When the pure mind is lucid and the money is present, then the body, the ceiling, and the mind immediately destroy. Disappointed ceiling and infected mind was already gone, at that time worrying about nothing, unsurpassed Buddha. . END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.16/1/2020.
