SEVEN BUDDHISM ASKED QUESTION

Before wanting to be merely mindful, Buddha asked the mind of frustration. When understanding the mind then, then later on only the feet of the Buddha will not be mistaken. Just like people, before distinguishing between brass, copper and fake gold, then only after reaching the rim, they will receive it, so first ask about the mind.

The Buddha asked Ananda to ask, `` In your teaching, what do you admire about being a monk?

Ananda answered: -Because the Buddha has 32 incredible and beautiful generals, I was born with great admiration and renunciation.

Buddha asked: -He said: "Because you see the 32 good generals of Buddha, birth of admiration"; So, what do you get to see, and what do you want to admire?

Ananda said: -I take the eye to see and use the mind to admire.

Buddha asked: -He said: "with the eye to see and the mind to admire", so do you know where the mind and the eye is?

He ever since, many lives reincarnation, also because of the mind and eyes! If he does not know where it is, then it is never surrendered to defilements and death.

Like the monarch, the invaders came to invade him, bringing soldiers to fight except if they did not know where they were staying, they could never suppress the enemy.

I.-A-NAN TAM CENTER IN THE BODY  [^]
Nan ladies: -Bach The ton, not only I understand, but all beings also for "the eyes on the face, the mind in the body."  BUDDHISM

Buddha asked: -He sat in this lecture hall, first he saw what? And why do you see the trees outside the garden?

Ananda said, "Religion, I sat in the auditorium, I saw the Buddha and the monks, and opened the doors, so I looked out and saw the trees and the scenery outside.

Buddha asked: -Does anyone sit in the house, do not see the objects in the house, but also see the scenery outside?

Ananda said, "Religious world, people sitting in the house, but do not see the things in the house, see the scenery outside is not reasonable."

Buddha said: - So do you, if it really is in your body, then it must first see your heart, liver, intestines, lungs or nails, long hair, veins, arteries inside, and then after opening your eyes. , he saw the outside scenes. Just like the person sitting in this lecture hall, first he must see the Buddha and the monks and the objects in the lecture hall, and then look out, then see the mountains, forests and rivers, etc.

So has anyone seen the heart, liver, intestines, lungs inside the body, and then see things outside? If not, then he says, "the mind is outside the body" is absurd.

II.- A-NAN HAPPY CENTER ABROAD [^]

Ananda white Buddha: Bach The Ton, according to the above reason, I understand: The mind is outside the body. Because if you are in the body, why can't you see the things inside, but only the scenery outside. So I know the mind is outside the body. Just like a lamp on the outside of the house, it doesn't work well inside. This meaning is right, probably no longer misleading female.

MINUTES

Buddha asked Anan: His mind, if outside the body, his body and mind are not connected with each other. So while the mind knows, the body must not know; When the body knows, the mind must not know.

Just like me and the monks, because of our different bodies, when we are boys, the teachers are not satisfied.

So you try to see my arm here, while the eyes (body) he just saw, his mind knows immediately?

Ananda Nan: White World Religion, while the eyes have just seen, the mind immediately distinguished.

Buddha asked: If your eyes have just seen, your mind knows, your body and mind cannot separate. like that, he said, "The mind is outside the body" is not.

III.- ANAN HAPPY MIND IN EYES [^]

Ananda said, Buddha, in the words of Buddha: "The mind is not in the body, because it cannot see inside; nor outside the body, because the eyes just saw, the mind immediately knew, clearly the body and mind did not leave each other ”.

Following this argument, I understand: The mind lurks in the eye; as well as the eyes of the ant bearer, so he sees only the external things, not the inner objects.

BUDDHISM

Buddha asked Anan: If your mind lurks in your eye, just like the eye of an ant bearer; so I asked, "People carrying ants while they see the scenery, can they see that ant bearing?"

Ananda Nan: White World Religion, see.

Buddha asked: If your mind is as old as the eye of the ant bearer, then how can the bearer see the ant bearing, and your mind can't see your eyes?

If his mind sees his eye, then his eye becomes a sight, it must be outside his body.

If the body and mind are apart, then how can your eyes see, your mind immediately distinguish?

If his mind cannot see his eyes, then why is he like the eye of an ant bear?

So he said, "The mind lurks in the eye, just like the eyes of an ant bear hide behind an ant," nor.

IV.- MR ANAN BACK BACK, MIND IN THE BODY [^]

Ananda Nan: White World Religion, now I think: Close your eyes to see the dark, the mind that sees in the body (intestine); thanks to the complaints, vented ventures (senses) are empty, so the eye is open to see the mind outside the body. Do not know this meaning is true?

BUDDHISM

Buddha asked Anan: He said: "Close your eyes and see dark is lost in your body"; So when he saw it, was the scene in front of him?

If the darkness is not immediate, then it does not mean the seeing. As for the eyes, when seeing the darkness, he saw it first, why did he say that he saw it?

If you show that you see darkness in the body (intestines), then when you are in the dark house without light, you see that night, and also see your gut?

Again, if you close your eyes to see dark, you think that you see inside the body, if you open your eyes and see the light outside, then why can't you see your face?

The face outside, he opened his eyes did not see, then when closed eyes see dark, how to be sure to see in the body?

If he sees his face, then the eye with his knowing mind, must be outside his body.

If the mind and the eyes are outside the body, then it is not his mind.

If you give the mind, that eye (besides your body) is also you, then now we can see your face, then this is also your mind and eyes?

Again, while his eyes knew, his body must not know, when his body knew, his eyes must not know (because he accepted it apart).

If you let both of you know, then you must have only two knowing (mind), so when you practice enlightenment, will you become two Buddhas?

So must know: He said: "see the dark is in the body" is not.

V.- A HAN HAPPY CENTER OF REPUBLICATION THAT HAS BEEN. [^]

Ananda said, "World Honored One, I often hear the Buddha teach them:" Because of the mind of birth, new things are born. due to the legal birth, so new born mind. " If you think now, that "thought" is your mind; depending on which half of the match, the central mind would follow, which is not in, out and in the middle.

BUDDHISM

Buddha asked Anan: He said: "Depending on where the harmony, the mind immediately follows that there"; then his mind has no reality.

If his mind has no form (that is, there is no), then what is it to get in harmony? And it had a form, then he tried to use his right hand to hit the left hand, he immediately knew it was painful. So does this pain-minding mind come from the body, or will it run out from outside?

If he says, "it comes out of the body," then first it must see the gut in his body. And if he came in from nowhere, he must first see his face.

Ananda said: The eye sees, and the mind knows; Buddha says: "The mind sees," that is not.

Buddha asks: If the eye sees then the dead, the eye remains, why don't they lose things?

If the dead person still sees objects, then what is it called the dead person?

Again, if his understanding mind is real, is there one or more bodies, all over his body, or not all the body?

If his mind had one body, and all over his body, then when he tried to test a place on his body, the body should know all pain, because the mind is all over the body and the same body.

If the whole body knew pain, then that pain would not have been in any place.

If the sore fish has a fixed place, then he says, "the mind is one and the whole body" is not. And saying, "your mind has many forms", so many people become; So which one is your favorite?

If his mind is not all over his body, then he touches it on the head at the same time, and the foot, at the same time, if the head knows pain, then the right leg does not know, and the right foot knows the pain, the head must not know.

But in fact, both his head and his legs both ached.

So he said: "Depending on which venue, the mind that according to that", nor.

VI.- A-NAN MISSION CENTER IN THE MIDDLE BETWEEN [^]

Anan white Buddha: I listened to the Buddha along with Manjushri ... when he discussed "truthfulness" (the mind), the Buddha taught, "The mind is neither inside nor outside."

Now I think: If the mind is in the body, how can we know the inside? As for the mind outside, then the pond knows each other? Thus the "mind" must be in the middle.

BUDDHISM

Buddha asked: He said "The heart is in the middle", so the "center"; also in the middle of the body, at the same time with the body, as mentioned before. That is: the heart must be in front of the heart, liver, intestines, and lungs inside.

As for the scene, is it possible to state (the middle) out, or not yet?

If not stated, then there is no such; If it does, then it can't be determined which is the middle.

Why? As if he took the middle plug, if he is on the east side, see that tree on the west side; and those in the south, see the trees to the north.

If the tree had not been determined to be in the middle, his mind must always be unconscious.

Ananda said, "I mean" in the middle, not in those two places. As Buddha often said: "The eye with regard to color, born of consciousness". On one side of the eye, there is discrimination, on the one hand, there is no discrimination, the consciousness born in the middle, that is the place of the mind.

Buddha asked: He said: "His mind being in the center of the mind and the ceiling" or not includes both.

If it consists of both, then the base with the confused scene (the base is not successful, the scene does not work; for both knowing and not knowing). But the ceiling has no perception, and the base has perception, the two opposing sides separately, so take the middle place.

As if not including the base and the scene, the mind is not real. So take the gig as the center?

So must know: He said "the center in the center" is not.

VII.- ANAN IS APPROVING THE "DON'T BEFORE" THE MIND [^]

Ananda said: "World Honored One, the day before I saw when Buddha was with Mr. Mahā Maudgalyāyana. Practicing Bodhisattva, etc. speaking of Dharma, does the Buddha teach that:

"The mind of discrimination, not in the body, not outside the body, not in the middle, not anywhere; "Without (first) attachment" that is called mind ".

So now I take that "non-attachment" as my mind, not knowing whether it is good or not?

BUDDHISM

Buddha asked: -He said: take the "not attached to all" as the mind. So I asked him: are all the objects in this world, which are nihilistic, world-world, etc. So do the figures have that he is not attached to (before) or not, but he is not attached?

If the statues were not, then there was also the turtle's fur, the horn of a rabbit: it was not, there was nothing in the time to be attached.

If there is still "no attachment" then he cannot say that "no attachment". Because anything without form is not, and something without appearance is. If there is a form, it must be "attached."

So he said, "No attachment to all the mind" is not.

THE SOLUTION

Seven times the Buddha relaxed, Mr. Anan said that he did not hit. So know: If the enlightened mind before being enlightened, then no matter what is said is wrong. It is like mhu in Mahayana Buddhism with the example: "blind man touching an elephant". The one who touches the wrong foot says the elephant is like a pillar, the person touches the ear, the elephant sounds like a garbage kiosk, the person who touches the tail, the elephant sounds like a broom sweeping the floor, etc. Anything is wrong. Must see the foot of the elephant, it is not wrong to say it.

We should also note; in this sutta, Anan represents the deluded beings present, as well as the future to stand out and ask.

There are paragraphs he presented or asked very low, representing the beings deluded by delusion. There are passages he presents or profoundly inquires, as representatives, for beings of radical nature. So we should not base our literary statements on the criticism on his qualifications. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.31/1/2020.
