1. MEMBERS SURPRISING QUESTION Buddha

Then Vien Giac Bodhisattva in mass stood up, walked around the right side of the Buddha three times, then bowed to the Buddha and knelt his hands straight and said,

- Bach Duc Dai Bi World Religion! You have broadly said the means to enter the pure Enlightenment Enlightenment, making beings of the next life to great benefit.

Bach The Ton! We have been enlightened today. If after the Buddha's passing away, the beings of the next life are not enlightened, then how can they settle to practice this pure Vien Giac realm? And three pure bar dhammas in Vien Giac here, which dharma to practice first?

Bowing to the Buddha for great compassion and the sentient beings of the next generation, giving us great benefits.

Vien Giac Bodhisattva sparse sometimes like that 3 times, prostrate at the foot of the Buddha and then back.

THE SOLUTION

At this stage, Vien Giac Bodhisattva asked the Buddha two questions:

1. How to settle down for a pure Vien Giac?

2. Which method should the first three disciplines be pure?

The word "Vien Giac Bodhisattva". Vien Giac is Giac fullness. From time to time, Buddha has repeatedly taught the austerities method to eliminate ignorance and Vien Giac certificate. But in terms of austerities, not tu tu tuoc tuoc but was Vien Giac: must turn like a mirror, wipe a lot of dust to clean. The cleaner the dust, the brighter the mirror; bright, clean to the point of being a perfect example for Vien Giac.

As a reminder, the first chapter on the "Pure Laws Industry" is to teach practitioners to clean the karma. But awareness is not yet popular. By chapter "Prussia," Bodhisattva prayed to the Buddha to teach austerities so that awareness is common, but not yet Vien. To chapter "Vien Giac" is said Giac Tanh Perfection. This chapter Bodhisattva asked the Buddha about settling in and cultivating the three dharmas, paying full attention to the religious practice. Said: The roundness is Ly yet Vien. Ly Vien is due to the Round. For example, people who are compassionate and compassionate, if they have not yet universal access to subtle insects (the insect's network), then their compassion is not round.

2.  BUDDHISM BUDDHIST MEMBERS TURT

Then the Blessed One praised Vien Giac Bodhisattva and said,

- Hey Thien nam, very good and very precious! He asked Tathagata the means of austerities, so he gave alms to beings of great benefit. So you should listen, I will teach you for your sake.

At that time, Mr. Vien Giac Bodhisattva and the mass were quiet and happy to listen to the Buddha's teachings.

3. BUDDHISM BUDDHISM

- Hey Thien nam! When the Buddha was still alive or passed away, or the life of the Dharma (1) if any sentient being had sufficient Mahayana identity, believed in the mind of the Enlightenment mind of the Buddha, then he will practice spiritually; as in Gia Lam ( pagoda ), we have to worry about arranging them, or there are other conditions that cannot be practiced, so it depends on the practitioner, thinking and observing the disciplines we have taught before.

If there is no other affinity, then the practitioner must establish the ashram and set the period of practice. If the long time is 120 days, moderate to 100 days, short to 80 days.

The layout in the net, must hang rosary and full of flowers. As Buddha is alive, he should be thinking. If Buddha passed away, then the Buddha image will be fixed, the eyes will look at the mind, and the glass like Buddha is still present.

THE SOLUTION

This paragraph the Buddha taught two ways:

1. The mind of austerities, if due to the busy work of the temple or other conditions, can not enter the ashram practice, then the practitioner should observe the Buddha's teachings, as in Chapter Prussian etc.

2. If there is no predestined relationship busy, then practitioners should set up and diverge that practice. Long term is 120 days, intermediate period is 100 days, short term is 80 days.

If Buddha is still so bad, then one should be mindful of thinking only of the Buddha, without the image. If Buddha passed away, then he should worship the Buddha statue so that his eyes, thoughts, glasses and Buddha still exist.

______

(1) The word "Dharma Method". Dharma of Buddha is divided into 3 periods:

1. Dharma, 1000 years.

2. The image of the dharma (visualized as the true Dharma) for 1000 years.

3. Dharma filament (ultimate ends) 10,000 years. Currently (1992) Buddhist calendar 2536, so has been to Dharma 536 years.

4. BUDDHISM FOR THE FIRST 21 DAYS, IN THE NET

- Experiencing the first 21 days, the practitioner prostrates to the titles of the Buddhas in the 10 directions and repents of the city. If meeting a good realm, then the mind is gently relaxed ( contempt ). After 21 days, practitioners must specialize in memorial photography.

THE SOLUTION

New people practice, virtue is not enough, the body and mind have not been pure, so there is no capacity to cultivate wisdom. So at the beginning must set up colon. Practitioners spend the first 21 days of Buddha worship and repentance. Just like a dish to be cleaned, you can store it. Practitioners must practice the mind like that, the new body is pure. In 21 days, or the root of sensation, or sensation: The practitioner sees the signs of goodness, the body and mind will be refreshed.

"Good realm": As in the dream to see Buddha, or when doing the penitent ceremony to see the glory etc ..

5. BUDDHISM BUDDHISM FOR 3 MONTHS BY THE SKIN

- Hey Thien nam! If meeting the beginning of Summer 3 months of settling down, then the practitioner must remain in the pure happiness of the Bodhisattva, leave the thought of the Sravakas, not through them.

To the day of settling, practitioners must confront the Buddha vow like this: "I am a Bhikkhu (name) or Bhikkhuni ni, Uchiha rules or Uma di di, vows to follow the net kill of Bodhisattva vehicles, head Preserving the real place, taking Dai Giac to become an old lam (pagoda). My mind and body settle down in "Equality of the mind" or "Self-nature of Nirvana", with no system of origin.

This child is not according to the Thinh Van, I respect the ten Buddhas and Bodhisattvas together with me to settle for 3 months. Because of a great affinity is the practice of Bodhisattva conduct, witnessing the Noble Truth of the Noble Enlightenment, so it is not useless to deceive them.

Tu tu satisfied 3 periods then, arbitrary practitioners come in and out of fear. This is called a Bodhisattva show settlement.

THE SOLUTION

This section is divided into 3 parts:

1. The Buddha taught the practitioner to practice such a period of practice but it is not enough but must settle for 3 months, starting from the full moon of April to the full moon of the seventh lunar month. People who develop the mind of Bodhisattva practice according to Vien Giac, have to settle down in accordance with the Bodhisattva conduct. That is, there is no need for them to settle in the Hinayana law, but the mind of the practitioner must always remain in the pure conduct of the Bodhisattva. Therefore, on the original text, it says, "The mind leaves the thought of the Sravaka, not by virtue of them."

2. By the day of settling, practitioners must confront the Buddha like this:

"My name ... is ordained as a Bhikkhu or a Bhikkhuni, is good for a good woman (for good men) or for a good woman (for a Buddhist woman); now y according to the Mahayana dharma, cultivating by the passing away of Bodhisattva, taking Vien Giac as a pagoda, my body and mind usually abide in the "Self-nature of Nirvana" or "Equality of mind".

3. Practitioners facing Buddha vows that:

"Now because I want to cultivate the virtue of Enlightenment, I don't follow the rules of the Abhidharma (Hinayana) not to train them to increase their security, but I only request the 10 Buddhas and Bodhisattvas along with me to settle in 3 months". Practitioners settle like that for 3 months, after the period is over, it's up to you to go back and forth.

The word " President kill ": Kill the negativity, the mind is President, that is to say: according to the heart as not being destroyed that tu.

The word " Truthfulness ": The true feet, this generals are not born, do not kill, do not structure, do not increase or decrease, not be changed by time, space to move, that is only for "feet like real generals", is also the nickname "Vien Giac".

" Vien Giac is a pagoda ": Hinayana settles down, taking the general a scene of his temple (Old lam) in, making a place to practice, and Bodhisattva settling, taking the identity of Vien Giac as his temple in the monastery, so said, "Taking Vien Giac as a temple".

" Equality Tanh location ": Practitioners have settled in the real place, ie nature, Giac Vien, so 6 apartments in body does not create karma, 6 consciousness does not follow the 6 ceiling.

At that time 5 before, transferred back to "into the Department of intellectual property"; The sixth consciousness changes into "Noble observation of mind".

When the practitioner has not dwells in Vien Giac, this 7th consciousness is falling, multiplying, and trying. By the time the practitioner dwells in Vien Giac, the 7th consciousness changes into "equality of mindfulness". At that time, the 8th consciousness was no longer awake by the seventh accept the "self" anymore, so the 8th consciousness changed to "Dai Dai Canh Tri".

The word " Nirvana itself ": Also known as "Tanh Nirvana", ie the nickname of Chon as or Vien Giac.

The word " No system belongs to the country ": The Hinayana settlements must have a pagoda scene to make the parish. Come as Bodhisattva, only take "Nirvana nature" as a director, should say: "does not belong to the country."

The word " Supreme Noble Enlightenment ": The enlightened Buddha (enlightened awareness) has no effect on (Supreme) .

6. WHEN TO SEE THE SCENE, THE PRACTICE SHOULD BEFORE FIRST

- Hey Thien nam! As sentient beings of the Dharma want to cultivate to direct the Bodhisattva, while entering into these three periods, if they see the sights appearing, which are not as they have heard, they should not accept them.

THE SOLUTION

This paragraph teaches the Buddha when practitioners, if you see the realm of victory, should not be attached before.

Practitioners when using the austerities, of course will have extraordinary realms of hostility appear. Song, if being attached to the mind, regardless of Chief Justice, the practitioner easily catches Ma. So the practitioner must see the realm of the scene as his listening, that is, the Buddha's teaching, or how the Good Knowledge says or in the scriptures teach, when such scenes appear to be like that , called the main foot. In contrast, the current Five Warm Ghosts (should see the Five Warm Ghosts, in the Surangama Sutra)

Everybody practices, no one does not listen and understand, then believe in faith, and have faith to cultivate, and cultivate in good faith. So believe, understand, cultivate and witness before and after. If the testimony (the realm of appearance) is not in harmony with the hearing, then whether the realm of good or evil appears, is Ma.

7. TU TU (XA MA THA)

- Hey Thien nam! As there are sentient beings "Only" method (Far ma tha) before keeping the pure position (very quiet) does not start thinking, remembering and thinking; due to the utter silence, the awareness appeared. Thus from the beginning of the net and in one body, until the whole world is pure. Also, "Awareness" begins to appear in one body until the whole world is "Giac".

- Hey Thien nam! When "Awareness" has appeared throughout a world, then in that world if there is any sentient being, claws a concept, then the practitioner will know. Until hundreds of thousands of the world too.

The realm of that, if not the hearing of the practitioner, then the decision should not accept.

THE SOLUTION

Great intentions of this paragraph when the Buddha teaches practitioners when Dinh, to the extreme, so the position (wisdom) arises. Because from a pure body to a pure world, so the awareness emanates from one body to the whole world. Because the whole world is the "sense" of the practitioner, should there be a being who has just recited, the practitioner will know.

But the realms have appeared, must be true to the hearing that the practitioner has ever heard of Good Knowledge or in the teaching, so that the new view. If the opposite is the current Five Warm Ma.

Mr. Nhu Son said: "Because the whole world has become" enlightened ", all beings are in the awareness of practitioners. So when beings arise a concept, the practitioner knows. Just like the shadow is already in the mirror, so the mirror doesn't miss. ”

In the Enlightenment strategy, you will copy: Practitioners believe, understand, cultivate, and prove that the class is not the same, but it must be no different. Means: “Understanding means understanding according to one's place of belief, Tu means understanding according to one's understanding. Testimonials are according to his site Tu. Now the realm of the witness, if not as the place to understand, believe and practice, should not be attached. "

8. TU TUAN (TA M MA BAO TITLE)

- Hey Thien nam! If sentient beings practice the "Quan" dharma, they must first remember the ten directions of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and then follow those Buddha's disciplines and diligently need to sequentially practice in order to become samadhi and vow large, self-imposed training into the seed. While cultivating, if there appear to be realm of things that are not the same as the listening place of the practitioner, then you should not be attached.

THE SOLUTION

Buddha taught practitioners "Quan", first to remember the Buddha and Bodhisattva and then follow the Buddha's teachings that diligently cultivate ascetic sequentially to become eighty. And must develop great vows of concentration on the practitioner's mind to become a seed.

While cultivating, if there are realms of things appearing that are not the same as those of the practitioner who has listened to your teacher, or in the teaching law, then you should not be attached; because that's Ma currently.

" Tam soot ": See the second paragraph in Chapter Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

9.  COMPARISON OF TUNG TU (MEDITATION NA)

- Hey Thien nam! If there are sentient beings who want to cultivate Zen (only practice of contemplation), then they must practice the method of registration; in the mind of the meditator, he knows every thought when he is born, abides, dies and passes away; distinguish between the boundaries and the number of items of thoughts. Until all four postures (walking, standing, lying, sitting). Practitioners also understand clearly distinguish the number of items of the concept. One by one, ascending to one hundred thousand of the world, even though something as small as a raindrop, practitioners all know it; as well as the eye seeing objects. While cultivating if there is any realm appearing not in the way the hearing of the yogi is observed, one should not be attached.

This is the first means of austerities, ie three legal shops. If the sentient beings diligently cultivate these three dharmas are completely, that is, the Tathagata appears in the world.

THE SOLUTION

Vien Giac Bodhisattva asked the Buddha: Who is the practitioner for the three contemplations and practices? The Buddha taught before practicing "Only", between "Quan", after "Only, Quan song tu".

This Buddha taught "Only, Quan song tu". The practitioner of this practice must first practice the Window of the breath (counting breaths). By regulating the breath, the mind is purified (Only); Because the mind is pure, the thoughts of being gross, at birth, head, whims and cessation, its limits long, short, long, more or less, practitioners all know (Quan).

Practitioners net coordinates, using such mindfulness meditation practice, when new success, time in all the time of movement such as walking, standing, lying, sitting, etc. .. practitioners understand clearly, each concept, at birth, head, heterosexual and destructive, long or short term limits and more or less etc ..

By the time the success is complete, in the hundreds of thousands of worlds, what there are things, until how many raindrops, practitioners will know all. Not that one understands vaguely, but clearly; just as the eyes see things to be so used.

10. SUMMARY

- Hey Thien nam! If sentient beings who are in the middle of the Dharma, want to lead the mind, but because the previous karma is heavy, the nature is dark, so it is hard to achieve it, they have to work hard to repent; often born mind expect to eliminate the negativity: love, hate, jealousy, flattery etc ... and seek the result of noble victory.

For 3 bar pure bar, depending on the practice of a legal practice. If this practice is not successful, then the other practice, must be prayed for, should not let go of the mind.

THE SOLUTION

The intention of this paragraph Buddha taught: If sentient beings after the base of nature, heavy karma, want to pray to Buddhism, but do not achieve, then must be diligent and repentant, the mind often expects the negativity. For 3 measures, if this practice is not successful, the other practice, pleading to witness the Dao, should not be rotten mind.

11. BUDDHIST SAYING THE REVIEW OF THE ABOVE MEANING

Then Germany World Religion, to summarize these meanings, should say:

Vien Giac should know:

All beings

Wanting to pray to the Supreme Master,

Three periods must be established:

The first twenty-one days

Repentance from the beginningless career,

So after right thought;

If the scene was heard,

Should not be clinging.

The Dharma "Only" is very pure,

The "Quan" Dharma mind remembers thinking,

Meditation na clearly count steam,

The so-called purity.

The diligent practice,

The Buddha then called.

The one who did not succeed,

Must be hard-working

Crimes from beginningless.

The sins of death,

The Buddha scene immediately appeared first.

THE SOLUTION

The intention of this verse is that the Buddha teaches that beings who want to pray for the supreme Bodhi Bodhisattva have to practice three periods of practice. When entering the retreat, in the first 21 days, the practitioner must concentrate on repenting the karmic retribution from beginningless wholesomeness, and then the right mind is thinking.

During the practice, as if appearing to the world, if it is not in line with the hearing of the practitioner, then you should not be attached.

If the practitioner diligently practices the three pure contemplations, namely, Only, Quan and Only Quan, they are called the Buddha.

If a person with an intrinsic nature cannot cultivate these three dharmas, one should be repentant of the sins of beginninglessness; When the crime is destroyed, the Buddha will appear immediately. . END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.20/1/2020.
