Lesson 7: CHAPTER OAI THE SELF.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

1. HE OAI ORDER AT THE BODY ASKED AS BUDDHIST

At that time, Mr. Oai Duc Tu At Bodhisattva in the assembly stood up, walked around the right side of the Buddha for three rounds and then bowed respectfully, prostrated at the feet of the Buddha and knelt straight and said:

- Venerable Venerable Mahā Biārāna, please, for our sake, distinguish only to teach "the means to enter Vien Giac awareness, prompting the Bodhisattvas to hear the sound of (1) of the Buddha whose awareness is clear, without mercy If you practice spiritually, you still benefit greatly.

The Buddha, such as the big city (Vien Giac), has four doors (means), and practitioners can enter any door, not just a path.

Also, the Bodhisattvas practice, solemnly realize the Buddha and attain the Bodhi enlightenment, not the only means. Please ask the Blessed One because we only teach the means of cultivation and how to class, so that the Bodhisattvas in this conference and the sentient beings after the Mahayana Dharma will be enlightened and hurry into the ocean of Mahayana. (Vien Giac) of Tathagata.

Mr. Oai Duc Tu At Bodhisattva invited so rarely 3 times, folded his hands respectfully, Buddha and then back.

THE SOLUTION

The idea of ​​this passage says: Members of enlightenment are not two, but the doors of the means go in a lot. Please Buddha for the Bodhisattvas present and sentient beings after the Mahayana, teach the media and classes how to practice, so that the practitioner can quickly enter Vien Giac.

Kinh Lang Nghiem records: "The primordial nature of nature, means of organic matter". (Back to the "Original" nature is not two, but the means of access have many doors).

2. BUDDHISM OF BUDDHIST HEALTH ORDER AT THE BODY

Then the Blessed One praised Oai Duc Tu At the Bodhisattva and taught:

- Hey Thien nam, very precious! He because of the current Bodhisattvas and sentient beings, asked Tathagata about the means of austerities. You should listen attentively, I will because you teach.

At that time, Mr. Oai Duc Tu At Bodhisattva, together with the crowd, were quiet, attentive and happy to hear the teachings of Buddhism.

3. BUDDHISM: SCIENCE "TEACHERS" DO NOT TWO BUT MEANS HAVE A LOT OF ROADS

- Hey Thien nam! Tanh Vien Giac supreme mystery, it covers all 10 directions and engenders Buddhas and all dharma. Because all sentient beings together with the Buddhas have an equal nature as being, when a practitioner has returned to the nature of Vien Giac, there are actually two places; but the means to enter Vien Giac are immeasurable.

Because the level of sentient beings is not the same, the means of returning to Vien Giac are different, but not apart from the latter three.

THE SOLUTION

The idea of ​​this passage says: Vien Giac is not two, but means of practice to enter Vien Giac, there are many dharmas. But not outside the three disciplines are: Only, Quan and Only Quan song tu in the following. 

4. TU "XA MA THA" (TU C IS TU TU OR CALL TU TU)

- Hey Thien nam! If the Bodhisattvas are already enlightened to the Enlightenment Enlightenment, then he follows this pure Vien Giac's mind and keeps the happy silence and slang for the thoughts. When the disturbing sense perception is already quiet, pure wisdom arises. At that time, the mind and body of vainness arises and falls away like guests and defilements like this dust, from here on out. Then in the interior of the practitioner was born quietly and gently relaxed (President of contempt), so the Buddhas of the ten directions of the world appeared in the mind of the practitioner, very clearly like the shadow appearing in the mirror. Means of practice like that, called "Far ma tha" 

THE SOLUTION

The intention of this paragraph Buddha said: "Bodhisattva when enlightened nature is pure Giac Vien, then use this pure mind to slap the negativity awakening. When the impurities of afflictions are already standing, pure wisdom arises. At that time, the practitioner observes the mind and body of frustration like a guest, illusory like wandering like dust all kill (falls, no longer legal).

Because the expectation or defilement has ceased, the mind is pure, so the 10 Buddhas appear in the mind of the practitioner. Just as the glass of water is slipped in, the external balls appear, the sutta says: "Sentient beings are impure, Bodhi images are present" (If sentient beings are pure, then the Bodhi ball appears on its own)

Note: In this sutta said: "Only, consistent", not in line with "Only, consistent" of Hinayana. Because of the Hinayana "", only "is to use external means to practice. But the "Only, consistent" way of the Mahayana is worthy according to the nature of the mind that "Only" and "Quan", should be somewhat superior. 

5. LEGAL "TAM MA BAO BAO" (IE TUAN TUAN, OR CALL INTELLIGENT)

- Hey Thien nam! If the Bodhisattvas are already enlightened by the Enlightenment Enlightenment, then according to the pure Vien Giac's mind, contemplating the mind nature, body-base and ceiling, are all illusory objects. At that time, the Bodhisattva initiated the mind as illusory to eliminate things like illusory; do the illusory actions such as chemical beings as illusory. Because the Bodhisattva practices such a illusory path, he should generate great compassion (2) mercifully save all sentient beings and still gently relax (Great compassion contempt) without attachment to sentient beings.

All Bodhisattvas, according to this illusory practice, practice and increase times. Initially the scene is illusory, but the shop is not illusory; after the bar is also illusory and finally completely separated from the illusory generals (at that time the non-illusory appears). So the Bodhisattva has accomplished this miraculous custom. Bodhisattva in turn progressed, as well as the soil makes the dream sprout be born again. Means of practice like that, called "Tam ma eight threads".

THE SOLUTION

The intention of this paragraph Buddha taught: "When Bodhisattva enlightenment is pure Vien Giac then, y in this Vien Giac mind that contemplate all the dharma, base, ceiling and consciousness are illusory. At that time, the Bodhisattva initiated the mind as illusory to eliminate the disturbing ignorance such as illusory, cultivate virtue as illusory, and to transform beings as illusory. By the time the illusory scenes were not, the illusory positions were also gone, any mind, sight, energy were all removed, completely separated from the illusory generals, then the enlightened nature of Vien Giac appeared. Like the noise of students after knocking on the teacher's board, then the scene of tranquility appeared.

For example, the sleeping, dreaming see the encirclement of the enemy, bringing soldiers to destroy, etc. ... When the invasion of the dream is over (the illusory scene) the soldiers are all gone (The men are not aware of the illusions) and the dream mind is no longer (illusory mind) then the mind of enlightenment naturally appears (Vien Giac current).

Bodhisattva y Vien Giac Tanh cultivate this illusory method, from shallow to deep, part of the illusory means part of the enlightenment. As well as the sprout bud, y where the land flourishes.

This sutra teaches the Buddha to practice the dharma, like Kim Cang Sutta, teaches:

The most effective method

Like dream illusory pictures

As highway, herons as Dictionary

Falcon as market consistent work.

Mean:

Should shop like this:

What does it make?

All like dreams, illusory, foam

Like shadows, dew and lightning.

Note: Thanks to the "Only" method, stops the thoughts arising and will begin inside. When expectations are no longer started, the "Chon Tanh" manifests itself.

Thanks to the method "Quan", it is clear that the money scenes like illusory, to treat the mind take part in the body, the scene and the separation from the attachment, the attachment. When the fall of France, Vien Giac appeared.

6. FRENCH "MEDITATION NA" (IE ONLY, QUAN DONG TU, OR CALLED HUE SONG TU)

- Hey Thien nam! If the Bodhisattvas are already enlightened to the Enlightenment Enlightenment, then just like this Vien Giac mind cultivates: No clinging to the "Quan-like illusory" dharma, and "just pure President". Bodhisattva knows that this body and mind are obstacles, and Tanh Vien Giac (senseless perception) is not obstructed by objects, and is even beyond the obstacles (samsara) and no obstacles. (Nirvana); it still uses the world and body and mind in this mundane world, without being bounded by the mundane scene, although afflictions or nirvana will not disturb it. For example, the "deck" of the bell, but where the bell still escape from the bell.

Bodhisattva at that time, in the inner place was quiet. Very gentle relaxation, which falls, multiplication, beings, life, four generals are no longer and depending on the realm of Vien Giac natural mystery. Bodhisattva practice this means, called tu "Zen na".

THE SOLUTION

Meditation na Tau translated as "Calculated". The word "Count" means "Only" (Dinh). The word "Lu" means "Quan" ( Hue).

-  Dharma  "Xa ma tha" then cultivates "Just Dinh

-  Dharma "Tam ma eight threads" tu on "Quan" is  Hue

- This "Zen na" Dharma and Just Quan Yin practice, making Dinh and Hue balanced.

The intention of this paragraph said: Bodhisattva when enlightened mind was pure Giac, following this mind that tu, not using the "Only" and "Quan". Bodhisattvas know that this body and mind are all obstacles, but Tanh Vien Giac has no obstacles. In spite of using this body, this mind and this mundane world, the nature of Vien Giac is completely super beyond the obstacles and non-obstacles, until defilements or Nirvana cannot save it. As well as the "deck" of a bell, beyond it.

Then the Bodhisattva kills all four generals (falls, multiplication, beings, life), enters the realm of Vien Giac. Bodhisattva means this practice called "Zen na".

7. THIS MEASURE IS VERY BIG BENEFITS

- Hey Thien nam! These three disciplines are all means to enter Vien Giac awareness. The ten directions of the Buddha were all through this means that became a Buddha. Ten directions of the Bodhisattvas, cultivating means or bronze or other, but all three are subject to enlightenment or enlightenment.

- Hey Thien nam! Suppose someone cultivates Buddhism, the chemical desires of the Arahant and the Pratyekabuddha, but the benefits are not equal to those in just a few minutes depending on and practicing this method of enlightenment Giac Vien.

THE SOLUTION

These three disciplines of "pointing, contemplating, and contemplating with the song tu" are the means to enter Vien Giac awareness. All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also follow these three disciplines and attain enlightenment.

The teachers of thousands of thousands of memories and Pratyekabuddha are many, but belong to the Hinayana, so the benefits are not equal to those in a moment, depending on the nature of Vien Giac. Because depending upon nature Giac Vien ie into the realm of Buddha, the benefits are greater.

8. BUDDHISM SIGNS OF THE SHRIMP REVIEW

Then the Blessed One wants to summarize the above meanings, so say the verse that:

Dread Germany! He should know:

Vien Giac emptiness two,

There are many means of cultivation.

Tathagata just presented

Not outside these three dharmas:

The "Just" practice is quiet,

Like a mirror in a mirror.

Practicing the "Quan" like illusory,

As a dream (sprout, shoot) times larger.

Only, at the same time, practice          

Like the "deck" of a bell.

The three miraculous disciplines,

Depending upon Vien Giac.

Ten directions the Buddha,

And the great Bodhisattvas,

Nhon here is enlightened.

Three legal, complete evidence,

Is ultimately Nirvana.

THE SOLUTION

General idea of ​​this verse Buddha said: Tanh Vien Giac not two, but the means of austerities have countless. Song, not outside the three disciplines are: Only, Quan and Only Quan song tu. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also follow these three dharma instructions. Proof of this law is completely the final result of Nirvana.

These three disciplines are also known as the three "Only" or three "Quan"

1.  Xa ma tha  is "can only feet", ie "not consistent", according to the feet that tu tu.

2.  Tam ma bat subject  is "means only coast" means "fake restaurant", according to the custom that tu.

3.  Meditation na  is "binary boundary only", ie "consistent", according to the meditator .

If the separation that said, the three French Only called "Xa ma tha", also three French Quan called "Tam ma eight threads". Only and Quan not two called "Zen na". . END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.19/1/2020.
