Lesson 4: CHAPTER  KIM CANG TANG.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

1. HE KIM KIM CANG TAP TAY QUESTION

At that time the Vajrayana Bodhisattva in the assembly stood up, walked around the right side of the Buddha three times, and respectfully clapped his hands, bowed down at the feet of the Buddha, and then knelt straight and said:

- Venerable Venerable Mahā-Bodhisattva, because of the Bodhisattvas, he stated the Tanh Vien Vien Giac of Tathagata and taught the means and sequentially to enter Vien Giac nature. He opened the shady cloud of ignorance for sentient beings. Audience in this conference, thanks to the compassion of Buddha civilization, that wisdom eyes are clear.

Bach Duc The Ton:

1. If sentient beings have become Buddhas from past to present, why is there all ignorance to return to being sentient beings again?

2. If sentient beings have ignorance, what are the reasons for Tathagata to say, "Sentient beings have become Buddhas from the past until now"?

3. If 10 directions have been Buddha since the old, later born ignorance; So the current Tathagata has become Buddha then, when will they be reborn again negatively?

Bowing in Germany, World Religion, because the Bodhisattva present and all sentient beings of the next life, uproot the doubtful root, causing beings to enter the path of supreme enlightenment.

THE SOLUTION

The intention of this paragraph, Mr. Kim Cang Tibetan Bodhisattva suspected: There is ignorance, called beings, not ignorance called Buddha; And yet the Tathagata again said, "Sentient beings have become Buddhas from time to time."

If sentient beings have become Buddhas from ancient times to the present, there must be no ignorance. If there is no ignorance, then it is no longer called beings. Why does Buddha even call: "Beings"?

Again, if sentient beings are available ignorance, it is not possible to say, "Hybrid to become Buddha." Why does the Buddha say, "The original being has become the Buddha".

Austerities must go through three countless lives to become a Buddha. If after becoming a Buddha, ignorance arises again as sentient beings, then we know how long it is! Again, the Buddhas have become Buddhas, so when will they become ignorant and become beings again?

This passage is like in the Shurangama Sutra, when the Lord Phu Lau Na Di Da La Ni Tu asked the Buddha: "Chastity is inherently pure, why at first came the mountain of paint and sentient beings?"

2. BUDDHISM BUDDHISM, CANG TAP

At that time the Blessed One praised Vajrayana Bodhisattva and taught,

- Hey Thien nam, very precious! He because the current Bodhisattva and later beings asked Tathagata the magical teachings.

Now I say because you say the Mahayana teaching, the ultimate and noble meaning, causes Bodhisattvas to study in the ten directions, and all the sentient beings of the next generation, except all doubts and beliefs. mind for sure. So you should listen closely to my advice.

At that time, Kim Cang Bodhisattva Bodhisattva and the mass were happy, respectfully obeying the Buddha's teachings.

THE SOLUTION

Kim Cang is the toughest gemstone in its type. It was hard but sharp (sharp), or destroying things, but things did not destroy it.

This section Kim Bodhisattva Bodhisattva stood up to ask the difficult places, is typical to use Kim to develop a new eradicate the deep delusion (ignorance).

Kim Cang Bodhisattva is also a prime minister in the Bodhisattva's row.

3.  BUDDHISM: THE MOM SAY SOMETHING AND HAPPYING TO MOM

- Hey Thien nam! All of the dharma, there is faithfulness, birth and death, afterlife, no matter, no convergence, start, stop, rotate, back and forth, the discharge of discharge, each concept is always connected. The above categories are all reincarnation. People who have not come out of reincarnation think of Vien Giac, the "Vien Giac" nature also becomes a reincarnation (The renunciation of pediatrics, Vien Giac and Vien Giac Tanh, also known as circulation). If people come out of reincarnation (already delirious already) then there will be no more of those deluded things.

THE SOLUTION

The intention of this paragraph Buddha said: People are still in "love" that the "enlightenment" then the "enlightenment" he also became "love". Using the mind of sentient beings to think about the Buddha realm, the Buddha realm also becomes a being. Using the mind of reincarnation and thinking about the nature of Vien Giac, the "Vien Giac" nature also becomes reincarnation.

Buddha told Vajrayana Bodhisattva Bodhisattva: If you stand in the void of hope, relative, there are saints with flesh, there are sentient beings, there are Buddhists, etc. can be. Therefore, people who want to understand the sublime place of Buddhism need to cultivate, not be able to speak without understanding.

4. BUDDHISM USES THE EXAMPLE TO EXPLAIN THE MEANING

- Hey Thien nam! For example, because the eye winked, the water was wavy; because the eye cannot see it, it becomes a ring of fire; But flying in the clouds saw the moon run. Because the boat went and saw the shore. While the objects here are moving, such as blinking eyes, flying clouds, boats, etc., and the other tranquil objects such as standing water, spotted fire, and the moon stop, they still see movement instead, let alone using the mind to be infected with samsara When observing the pure nature of Tathagata Tathagata, this nature of Vien Giac has no structure. So he gave birth to three questions above.

THE SOLUTION

In this paragraph, the Buddha used trivial things in his life as an example, such as blinking eyes, flying planes, boats, etc., but he saw water raining, flying moon, shore running, etc. to show: because he uses the mind of infection. delusion of sentient beings that observe thinking about the realm of Buddha, so the Buddha became relatively delirious.

Because Kim Cang Bodhisattva uses the mind to discriminate whether there is no birth, kill, holy etc., so there are sentient beings who have not become Buddha and already have Buddha. Therefore, He spawned three doubts above. If he entered into the pure Vien Giac nature then the generals treated like holy beings infected with impurity, samsara and nirvana, sentient beings and Buddha are no more. At that time, he did not doubt as above. So the following paragraph Buddha rebuked: "... the words he asked there, there is no right ..."

5. BUDDHISM: FRENCH LEGENDS, DO NOT HAVE REAL BIRTH AND DESTROY

- Hey Thien nam! For example, a blind man looks hopelessly hopeless, and sees speckled flowers. By the time the sickness had eaten it all, the other flower would kill itself. At that time, he should not ask: "This sickness is gone, so long as birth again?" Why? Because the blindness that it is illusory is not real.

And, also should not ask: "Spotted flower spots disappear in nowhere, so long as the spotting flowers are born again?" Why? Because nothing in the capital does not have spotted flowers, so it does not produce spotted flowers or kill spotted flowers.

Samsara and nirvana for Tanh Vien Giac, as well as flower spotting births to disappear in vain. Tanh Vien Giac is still full of mystery, quietly shining, leaving the mundane ignorance and the spotted flower realm.

Hey Thien nam! Should know nowhere else is not temporary and temporary, let alone Vien Giac Tathagata of Tathagata is the nature of nowhere, it's equal depending on the coast, but temporarily and temporarily not stars.

THE SOLUTION

The main idea of ​​this paragraph says: Ignorance and false views, are illusory illusory, as well as spotted flowers and eyes. Because flowers are spotted with food, they are not real plants, so it is not really born and die. Therefore, when the end of the chewing, should not ask: "When will chew back again?" Or the spotted flower is gone, should not ask: "When will it be born again?"

United spotting and gnawing, despite its expectation, the hope of passing away, but nowhere is always pure and quiet. Just as Ignorance and Vigilance, despite the arising of hope and passing, Tanh Vien Giac is still pure and full of separation from Ignorance and Vigil.

Emptiness is unequal depending on objects, which appear to be General Square and Round. Just as nature Vien Giac equal, depending on the coast that appears to all France.

Nowhere, not at the spotted flower that it temporarily has, nor is it the flower spotting that is temporary; by nature often does not have equality and equality, depending on the flowers dressed in love to kill, but nowhere remains unchanged.

Also, the pure Vien Giac nature of Tathagata is often equal and depends on the Dharma. Not ignorance at the time of ignorance that it temporarily has, or ignorance that it temporarily does not, it depends on all, without obstacles.

6. BUDDHISM FOR EXAMPLE, TO JUST EXTREMELY BECOME A BUDDHA, DO NOT BACK TO BECOME A BIRTH

- Hey Thien nam! For example, the mineral substance, after being filtered, removed all the ore, then only gold. This gold was not produced by the new filter, because it was available from before, and when it became golden, never returned to ore, no matter how many years it took, it would not spoil.

Tanh Vien Giac pure of Tathagata as well.

THE SOLUTION

Buddha used gold to example nature Vien Giac, using mineral example beings. When gold is in the mineral, just as Buddha Nature (Vien Giac) is in the shell of sentient beings. Because y where Buddha nature is available, Buddha said: "Sentient beings have become Buddhas".

When the minerals were brought to smelting and refining, the ore was only y gold, so the gold did not return to be minerals.

Like sentient beings, after experiencing the time of cultivation, refining all ignorance, disturbing emotions, Vien Giac nature appears, already a Buddha; then there is no longer ignorance of disturbing ignorance back to being beings.

Untreated oil, refining the ore, then gold is still available. When cooking, filtered all the ore into y gold then, not then the new gold. Tanh Vien Giac also, when making beings, it is still available, so say: "Beings have become Buddha". Experiencing the period of cultivation except for the ignorance of disturbing emotions, Vien Giac nature appears, not at that time is born.

When Vien Giac nature has completely appeared, then ignorance negativity no longer comes back, should say: "Buddha already, no longer come back to being beings".

7.  MEMBERS BUDDHIST ALL PRACTICE

- Hey Thien nam! Tanh Vien Giac miracle of Tathagata which has no Bodhi, and Nirvana, no Buddha and no Buddha, nor reincarnation and non-samsara.

THE SOLUTION

Standing on the relative side that said: Because there is negativity should have Bodhi, there is birth and death should have Nirvana, reincarnation should be freed, there are new beings with Buddha.

But on the surface of absolute reason, that is, the mind of Vien Giac, the mystery of Tathagata, negativity didn't, so Bodhi did not exist, so samsara did not exist, so Nirvana was not, until sentient beings didn't, so neither did Buddha.

To this realm, the speech did not hit, thinking nor aiming. Practitioners must self-certification.

8. TEACHERS CAN'T THINK DESCRIPTION

- Hey Thien nam! Very similar to the realm of Nirvana, the passing away state of Thinh Van (1) The Hinayana cannot even use the mind to distinguish, but the body witnesses, let alone the pure Vien Giac realm of Tathagata and the mind. compared to sentient beings, how could they enter?

Just like people use fire spotting fire, to burn Mount Tu di, how to burn. User mind reincarnation, birth expectation accept reincarnation, but want to enter the sea of ​​Nirvana President of Tathagata is not possible.

So I teach: All the Bodhisattvas and sentient beings of the next generation must first finish the end of samsara from beginningless life.

THE SOLUTION

The realm of Nirvana of Sravaka is the realm of Hinayana (Tram does not confess himself to death) but he cannot even think, let alone the realm of the supreme Buddha, and use his mind and words. What is the point of discussion? If one uses the mind of samsara's mind and samsara and the mind of the Hinayana to think about the discrimination of Vien Giac of the Tathagata, then he cannot understand it. Tathagata President destroyed the sea, general incompetence). Just like a firefly fire user can burn Mount Meru is not possible.

Therefore, the Buddha taught: "Before the end of the samsara, the base of birth and death from beginninglessness", that is, eliminating the mind of discrimination As in the Shurangama Sutra, the Buddha taught that two basic dishes must be well understood:

1. Must be the basis of samsara samsara is the mind.

2. Must be based on the basis of Bodhi Nirvana.

9. CAN'T USE THEIR BEARS, Distinguish BUDDHISM

- Hey Thien nam! If there is a discriminating thought from the mind of consciousness (consciousness) arises, then all thought is the delusion of predestination in the shadow of the six senses. It is hopeless like a spotted flower in nowhere, not the feet. If he uses this mind of thinking to think about the realms of the Buddhas, then the realm is also lurking within the delusion of sentient beings. Just as a person who waits for a flower spotted in the middle of nowhere to produce fruit, it is not possible.

Hey Thien nam! he used the mind of vanity and vanity, giving birth to crafty attachments, so he could not enter the true Path of Tathagata Vien Giac. Therefore, the words he asked above, are ambiguous distinctions, not true questions true.

THE SOLUTION

The Buddha, after spending three countless lifetimes, became a Buddhist monk, Shakyamuni, taught him, "Saying Buddha really doesn't become anything else, but only returning to nature." Buddha is available. ” In the sutta said: "The city is still not successful", or the sentence: "Wukong isotope enlightenment, lawless herons mindless". (Enlightenment is the same as before enlightenment, because there is no Dharma and no other mind.)

This Buddha nature, not only that he alone has, but all beings are available. Because based on this Buddha nature is available, so he said: "All beings have Buddha nature" or in the Avatamsaka Sutra, "All beings have full wisdom and virtue of Tathagata." (The worldly beings in particular of the Tathagata, wisdom and wisdom). Therefore, he said, "Sentient beings have long become Buddhas."

So, one who wants to understand this reason must enter the Buddha realm, the level must be almost Buddha to understand. If we only use the grossly infected mind to distinguish the sentient beings, but if we take into account the realm of Buddha, how can we understand. Just like a person who wants to understand the words of an eighty old man, at least his level is almost like an old man can understand. If using the immature mind of children aged five and ten, if they think of an old man's sentence, how to understand it. That is why Buddha said: "The words he asked above were delusional distinctions, not sincere questions.

10. BUDDHISM SURPRISES TO SUMMARY THE MEANING

Then Germany World Religion, want to summarize the above, should say that:

Kim Cang Tibet! Should know:

As Lai Tanh quiet,

Never had it been,

If you use the mind of reincarnation,

Thinking about the Buddha realm,

Buddha into reincarnation

People on the edge of reincarnation,

Unable to enter the Buddha Sea.

Although Buddha nature is available,  

Must practice to manifest.

Just as gold is available,

New ore must be filtered.

When he became a yak,

Do not go back to make ore.

Birth and Nirvana,

Phàm phu and the Buddhas,

All like spotted flowers.

The mind of thought is illusory,

So the question is illusory,

How to enter feet?

If this mind is clear,

Just got Vien Giac.

THE SOLUTION

This verse summarizes the above meanings. The general idea: Tanh Vien Giac of Buddha pure tranquility, no saints, mortals, beings and Buddha etc. .. If using the discriminating mind of sentient beings that distinguish the realm of Buddha, the Buddha scene also becomes the scene of sentient beings .

Beings, though Buddha Tanh, is available, but they must be cultivated. Like gold, although it is available in minerals, it has to be filtered to get gold. When it has become y gold then no longer returned to make ore. Just like when he became a Buddha, he won't return to being a sentient being.

Because standing within the expectation of relative infection, one should see samsara and nirvana, beings and Buddha; Don't stand on the nature of Vien Giac pure Tathagata, the above measures are like flowers spotted in the middle of nowhere.

Kim Cang Bodhisattva because he wanted to represent the ordinary people, so he used the mind of infection of sentient beings to think and measure, see the sentient beings and Buddha, and fake those unreal questions. These questions, for the true Vien Giac scenes of Tathagata, are not intended at all. Therefore, the Buddha rebuked, saying, "The words you ask are not righteous."

Therefore, practitioners have to leave differentiated thoughts to understand Vien Giac nature. . 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.
