1. HE HAPPY BUDDHISM BUDDHIST

At that time, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, standing in mass, stood up and walked around the right side of the Buddha for three rounds, then prostrated and knelt straight and said,

- Venerable Venerable Mahā-Bodhisattva, ask Him for the Bodhisattvas in this association and all sentient beings after the Mahayana, compassionately teach the austerities method to enter the pure Vien Giac realm.

White World Religion, if sentient beings know the dharma are like illusory, body and mind are illusory, then what should we practice? Why are you using the "illusory" assistant to practice the "illusory" method?

Again, if all the illusory phenomena are destroyed, then this body and mind will also cease; If the mind and body all pass away, whoever will practice is called "practicing as illusory"?

White World Religion, if the beings are not austerities, still in the illusory birth and death without knowing it, then how to eliminate the delusion, to liberate samsara?

Please, because of the sentient beings of the next generation, teach the means of practice and how to practice, so that sentient beings upon hearing of this pure Vien Giac realm, according to which practice, will be forever separated from the huyễn.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva sometimes so like that three times, respectfully bowed to Buddha and then returned.

THE SOLUTION

The idea of ​​this paragraph is that Samantabhadra Bodhisattva asks Buddha:

1. If all beings know the dharma as illusory, then there is no need to practice because it is illusory. Why are you using the illusory (body and mind) practice like illusory?

2. If sentient beings are illusory without cultivating, then they remain in samsara, how can they be liberated?

May Buddha mercifully teach the means of practice and how to cultivate sequentially in order to enter the pure Vien Giac realm?

2. BUDDHISM BUDDHISM

Then The Blessed One praised Pho Hien Bodhisattva and taught,

Hey Thien nam, very precious! He because of the current Bodhisattva and the sentient beings, inquiring about the means and classes of the practice of "As the illusory Tam muoi" (1) of the Bodhisattva, causes sentient beings to be separated from the illusory. So you should listen attentively, I will because you tell. 

At that time, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and the mass were happy, respectful and attentive to the teachings of Buddhism.

THE SOLUTION

Van Man and Samantabhadra are the two great Bodhisattvas, Mr. Van Man represents great wisdom. Samantabhadra represents the great thing. There is a new position (base position) to break the basic ignorance. There is great virtue to achieve the virtue of Buddha A spiritual practitioner must always have both "Tri and Hanh". Only "Tri" can destroy ignorance and understand the truth. There is "Happiness" to achieve truth, complete Buddhahood.

This paragraph Buddha praised Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, because beings that ask the practice "As illusory Tam soot"

3. BUDDHISM ANSWER TO HAPPY HEART

- Hey Thien nam! All illusory scenes (world, beings) of beings, are born in the mind of the Enlightened One of Tathagata. The legal damage has illusory, but Vien Giac nature still does not. Just as the spotted flowers are born in nowhere, the other illusory spotted flowers have destruction, and the emptiness is never gone.

THE SOLUTION

United spotting is a scene, nowhere is Vien Giac. The main idea of ​​this passage is to say the false dharma false illusions in the middle, are born in Vien Giac (Chon mind). The illusory destruction measures that Tam Vien Giac does not kill. Just like the flower blooms in vain, the spots can cease without vain. 

4. TEACHING OF BUDDHISM FOR ACCESSORIES

When the illusory scenes are gone, the illusory mind of the practitioner will follow. Until the illusory (energy and facility) are all destroyed, the mind Vien Giac does not expect self-arisen.

Because for illusory hope that "Vien Giac" should Vien Giac also become illusory, because it is still in the same treatment. Come to this realm, if saying "there is Vien Giac" has not left illusory expectations, but said that "not Vien Giac" would not leave illusory expectations. 

Therefore, the illusory expectations (yes and no) must all be destroyed, then called Vien Giac.

THE SOLUTION

This argument profound wisdom, there are 5 each:

1. Illusory scenes of destruction

2. Illusion also dies

3. The illusory (energy, facility) kill off, mind "Vien Giac" present.

4. Because illusory expectations that call "Vien Giac" should Vien Giac also become illusory. Because it is still in the discriminatory treatment, it is not "Vien Giac".

5. If "accept the Vien Giac", then in the illusory round that "accept not Vien Giac" is also in the illusory. The illusory hope: yes, no, birth, death, right, such etc. all have to kill it, that's the true "Vien Giac".

The intention of this paragraph says: "Tanh Vien Giac" (Chon mind) can not use words that discuss, nor use thoughts but think. If the mind has a mind, think the holy, say this is hope, that is chon, so that is still within the treat, if there is discrimination, all are illusory; it must leave all illusions to be true "Vien Giac".

5. TEACHING METHODOLOGY LY LYUYEN

Hey Thien nam! All Bodhisattvas and sentient beings should be separated from the following:

1. Away from the illusory illusory realms. But what about the "mind knows far away";

2. The "mind knows to leave" that is illusory, so it always leaves;

3. That "distance" is also illusory, so must also leave;

4. The "departure from the far" is also illusory, so must also leave always;

5. Must not have anything to "separate" anymore, so called illusory.

For example, a person pulling a tree to catch fire, rubbing two pieces of bamboo firewood; brush until the fire emits, back to fire two pieces of bamboo; When the fire burned to the end of the fire, the ashes flew, then there was only bare ground left.

Using the "illusory" from the "illusory methods" is the same. When the illusory ceases all, it is not the passing away, but then the nature of Vien Giac manifests itself.

THE SOLUTION

The intention of this paragraph says: The practitioner must first leave the illusory scene, after the illusory mind; leave until there is nothing left, so all the illusions are left. At that time the non-illusory being "Vien Giac awareness" appeared. Thus, "Vien Giac awareness" is not the cessation.

As the fire puller (for example, as an illusory monk) initially used two pieces of bamboo firewood to rub each other (for the mind and the scene), when the fire emanates back to burn all the wood until the fire burns off the ash (the mind is all over), then only vacant land (example for Vien Giac). 

6. BUDDHISM: "RELEASING" WITHOUT ORDER, "LEAVING HUYEN" THAT NEED MEANS

- Hey Thien nam! When knowing the illusory method, that is to say, the illusory, do not need to have any other means. Leaving the illusory is "Enlightenment", also no lang lang sequential layer.

All Bodhisattvas and sentient beings, just like that, will be able to leave the illusions.

THE SOLUTION

The Buddha taught people who know the dharma that is illusory, so that they will no longer be obstinate and attachment to the dharma, which is to leave the illusory, without any other training method.

This sentence is similar to the verse in the Sutta Pitaka: "Enlightenment, delusion," (Enlightenment, delusion, and delusion) Like people who know that they are dreams, they no longer dream.

Leaving the illusory expectations, "Vien Giac" was immediately displayed, so no lang class was bothered. For example, when light comes, the night will disappear; dark just passed the light just appeared, no lang lang class sequential read at all.

The previous paragraph, Mr. Pho Hien, asked how to practice the illusory class. At this point the Buddha answered already.

7.  BUDDHIST SAYING THE SHRIMP REVIEWS ABOVE

Then the Blessed One wanted to summarize this meaning, so he said:

Pho Hien! He should know:

The illusory ignorance

Of all beings,

From beginningless to now,

Are born in Vien Giac

Of the Tathagata.

As well as the spotted flowers

Born in nothingness,

The spotted flowers have already disappeared,

Nowhere remains in the net.

The illusory from "Giac" born,

Illusory destruction, "Giac" fullness,

Vien Giac was not disappointed.

The present Bodhisattva

And the sentient beings later,

Often far away from illusory.

Leaving far away for illusions,

Like fire from a being

Back burned all the trees;

Ash burned to the end.

"Enlightenment" is not sequential.

No "medium" is needed. 
THE SOLUTION

General idea of ​​this verse Buddha teaches: The illusory ignorance of beings from beginningless now, are born in the Giac Vien mind of Tathagata. By the time the illusory delusion is gone, the "Vien Giac" mind appears, there is no order and no other means.

For example, spotting flowers are born in vain, when spotting flowers cease, they are nowhere in the net. And like the fire from the tree of birth, returning to burning the tree, until the firewood ran out of fire, the smoke cleared ashes, at that time only the sky was clear. 
NOTE

In this chapter of Samantabhadra, we should pay attention to the question of Samantabhadra and the answer of Buddha, because it is very relevant to our spiritual life.

Prussian Master Hien asked, "What is illusory, what do you need to cultivate? Why do you still use your body and mind like illusory to practice like illusory? ”. This section we misunderstand, it is impossible to not generate the attachment of attachment: "Illusory body, illusory landscape, and illusion, etc." and hundreds of good deeds are given up, which is extremely dangerous!

So we need to consider the Buddha's answer carefully. The idea of ​​the Buddha taught that: Although knowing the dhammas is "illusory", it is necessary to cultivate to attain the "non-illusory" (chon). Also: still know the "knocking on the board" of the teacher is also noisy, but without the "knocking on the board" of the teacher, it is impossible to eliminate all the noise of students. Until the noisy noise of the student, the knock on the board does not need anymore.

The ancestor taught: "Huu vi, though dangerous, is exhausted in the Buddhist principle"; meaning that the practices belong to the compound, although knowing is hopeful, but leaving without cultivation is difficult to become Buddhism. Old people taught, "Throwing thorns and thorns," or "Having to fight against the enemy" is also the same meaning.

Still know "Vien Giac" Tanh "not illusory", but want to enter Vien Giac illusory use to eliminate illusory. When the illusory kill all, then "Vien Giac" appears

Co Duc taught: "In fact, geography does not exist in the world, thousands of subjects are neutral and unreliable in the world", that is: On the basis of true nature (Vien Giac), there is no life span; But about the general practice, do not give up a small thing.

This is a rule from ancient times. Austerities are fruited, no one is beyond this rule.

 ______________

(1) The word "Tam black" is translated as "Dinh" or "Chanh tho". Because photography focuses on a place, not distracted, so called "Dinh". Mr. Sun said: "The mind and body are as illusory, secretly united with Chon as, so called" Right life ".

The literal meaning of the word "SIX", is the work that is too mature. As people recite the Buddha, sometimes recite but sometimes forget, there are mixed thoughts, so it has not been samadhi. When people recite Buddha's name, only a single recitation of Buddha's name (unconscious mind), there is no other concept of interfering, walking and sitting, regardless of the place or time, from year to month, still remember reciting Buddha's name, so it is called "reciting Buddha's Three Sisters".

We shop things are illusory; but sometimes it is true, so it has not been "Like illusory". Whenever we sit down and sit down, we always see the utterly magical things, wherever we are, so that we can be "Like the illusory Tam muoi". . END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.18/1/2020.
