I. Buddha taught: the mind of all generals

Buddha taught:   This mind is mindless  (consciousness)  without land, water, wind, fire, and nothingness.

(This passage says: The mind is non-skandha.

Tho, thought, action, consciousness belong to mind;

and earth, water, wind, fire belong to identity.)

It is non-eye, atrial, billion, damage, body, mind; non-beauty, poise, flavor, taste, texture, French; Non-gender to gender consciousness.

(This paragraph says: The mind of the six continents, the cross of the land and the eight realms.

Chon heart ignorance ignorance and ignorance endless, until non-aging and non-aging end.

(This passage says: phi 12 charming, both circulation and cessation is the realm of Pratyekabuddha)

Non-suffering, set, kill, direct; Intellectually and unpredictably.

(This passage says: the four noble truths are the realm of the Sravaka).

Non-giving, maintaining morality, diligence, patience, meditation and wisdom.

(This passage says: non-continent is the realm of the Bodhisattva).

Until non-Tathagata, Application, Chief of the tri ...  (ten signs)  non-Great Nirvana and non-four virtues of Nirvana: often, bliss, self, net.

(This paragraph says: non-realm of Buddha. From Sravaka, Pratyekabuddha, Bodhisattva and Buddha are called the four saints.)

In short, the mind is not all worldly  (6 realms)  and worldly  (4 holy fruits)  .

THE SOLUTION

If you are the true mind, then there is no hope. Because there is no hope, there is no treatment: enlightenment, divine beings, sentient beings and Buddha, compounded or unconditioned, etc. because it is excellent.

*

II. Buddha taught: Chon is all Dharma

Buddha taught : This mind, ie all the law; ie mind; ie earth, water, wind, fire and nothing; ie eye, ear, female, male, female; ie sharpness, silence, flavor, taste, contact and dharma; ie gender consciousness to gender consciousness; ie the Four Noble Truths; News of Atrium; ie Sixty-degree; ie Buddha and the four nirvana. In short, feet are all worldly and externally.

THE SOLUTION

The mind is born with all dharma, and the mind is all dharma. Just as the dough makes the bread, that dough is bread.

III. Come one more time, the mind cannot say "phi" and "news"

Phu Lau Na, this heart left all "news" and "phi", but also "news" and "non-news".

Such a heart, from the ordinary to the saints: Sravaka, Pratyekabuddha, how to think with the mind to the supreme doctrine of Tathagata, or use the speech of the world enlightenment into the knowledge of the Buddha for?

THE SOLUTION

This is the absolute place where nothing can be said, thought and called. They all call "Chon Chon" only. Therefore, Buddha closed his door in Ma Kiet; Mr. Duy Ma kept his mouth shut in the Pi Gia citadel, and because of his great moralism and miracles, he could not say it.

IV. Buddha took the tree to example

For example, a harp or a maids, etc., although a good sound is available, it is possible to rely on the fingers or the hands of a knower  (musician)  to make a good sound.

THE SOLUTION

This example is clear and realistic. The man who makes good noise both the man who makes noise and the one who doesn't speak, but every language has sound. As if our feet were predestined to turn the phenomena; If cleverly used, the Buddha appears, and medium then the Bodhisattva, Thinh Van, very clumsy then into the map of the six directions, all turned out.

*

Together with them, we, together, are one of this pure, pure mind and fullness. But what we do and always chon. As for the mind he just clawed up, then the negativity ceiling had started.

Because you are not diligent in praying for the supreme, only love the Hinayana, have just witnessed a little bit for the full.

V. Mr. Phu Lau Na asked the Buddha: There is no hope in the heart

Mr. Phu Lau Na said: "   World Honored One, Buddha and I have had one foot - fullness of mind is no different." But I was deluded from the beginning of nothingness, so many lives have to suffer from birth and death, now although witnessing to the Holy fruit, that has not saved  (still in the Hinayana) .

And the Blessed One, all hopes were completely eradicated. So I would like to ask the Blessed One in secret: Why do all sentient beings have hope and self-concealment on their feet?

BECAUSE. The Buddha taught: if there is hope, then there is no basis, like Mr. Dien Nha Dat

Buddha taught:   Hey Phu Lau Na, he although except suspected, but the delusion is not over. I am now using real and present money in the world to teach you: Recently, have you heard the story of the Nhã Đã Đãa in Thất la city? One morning he took a mirror to look at his face, saw that the head in the mirror  (shadow)  had a pitiful face. He went back to his words, "my real head can't see my face; Or the devil? " Then suddenly the man ran wild ... In his opinion, what did this person suddenly run like crazy?

Mr. Phu Lau Na said: The man himself is crazy, not because of anything.

Buddha taught: Similarly, Mr. Phu Lau Na. Having said that "hope" is not based on property, but there are facilities without expectations. The delusions themselves multiply in succession; from this life, you have fallen in love and loaded with more delights, for many lives. I have repeatedly taught, but you still have not enlightened again.

Hey Phu Lau Na, that "love" like that, self-love love? If the person who knows that "delusion" has no cause, then the "delusion" that no longer holds on. At that time, even if he wanted to give birth, he could not.

You should know that the man who leads the Bodhichitta (enlightened mind), like the one who awakens the dream, wants to repeat the dreaming; Although there is a clear memory in the mind, it is impossible to tell only the things in the dream, because it is not real, and it has no cause. Just like the Dien Nha Dat guy, he was afraid of his head, and then ran wildly, not having any possessions.

If the "crazy" of course all, then the "head" remains the same. Even when the craziness is not over, it will not take away. Hey Phu Lau Na, the "delirious" like that, do not have anything!

THE SOLUTION

The head is an example for "feet of mind". Self-rage is an example for the "delusions" to be born. After all the madness, the head remains the same, even though the head is not crazy, it is an example for enlightenment, then the mind will manifest itself.

VII. If the "expectation coast" ends, the mind "madly hoping" to dissolve it is displayed

This Purna, the scene he when to the ceiling  (world, beings, karma)  just do not start wandering distinction, the greed, hatred and delusion  (three coast)  does not start. Three conditions do not arise, three times as close, direct, not being born. At that time, he went crazy Dien Nha Dat  (love)  in his mind all of themselves, but all that is Bodhi  (lucid) . At that time, his feet of pure clarity, lucid self-manifestation, throughout the Dharma sphere, did not need to be hard to prove, or prayed to anyone.

THE SOLUTION

By the Center for discrimination, should be born of greed, hatred and delusion. Because of greed, hatred and delusion, there is murder, virtue and lust. Do close, direct, should be subject to birth and death reincarnation.

For example, when a woman is female, etc., she can only see through it without committing discrimination, there is no harm. By the time the mind began to distinguish this as bad, the mind hated anger. And the other distinction is beautiful, the mind craving to be born. Greed, hatred, and birth also follow.

As for the scene, ma mind does not start distinguishing between expectations and thoughts, such as not being born, and not being mindful, then the mind will manifest itself.

It is a Dharma practice that only quickly becomes Buddha, which is also the most difficult. We will practice life after life according to the four Buddhist teachings: "Real distinctions to distinguish" (the opposite scene does not initiate discrimination) are not necessarily completed.

*

For example, the same death, in the pockets available pearls like the idea, but not knowing, should be poorly strenuous to have to work as hired laborers in the distance, to earn a living through the days, but the pearl is not lost. When he met the knowledgeable person,  he  said, "I already have priceless pearls in the other pocket." At that time, he wanted whatever he was, extremely rich. Only then did he regret that this divine pearl was already available, not from him.

THE SOLUTION

This metaphor is very good, the Buddha points out that all beings have Buddha nature (chon mind). But because there is no enlightenment, there must be many lifetimes making beings miserable, and Buddha nature will not be lost. Until the realization of the feet, realized the Buddha, blessed enough to know that this feet themselves available, not by that person.

*

VIII. Ananda suspected "bodhicitta" due to loving-kindness

When  that Lord Buddha Ananda stood up, hands prospectus that:  - Blessed said: "Three charming greed, hatred and delusion, then off, the sebaceous police, pornography unproductive. At that time he was insane Dien Nha Da in his mind all, but all that is Bodhi, not by that person.

-World Religion, then the Bodhi mind is obviously predestined by birth. Why is the Buddha Tathagata doctrine of multiplication of grace?

Not only are we the Sravakas, the youth of the school, but because of grace, the mind is enlightened; it is precisely in this society, those who have been smuggled, such as Mr. Maudgalyayana, Mr. Xa Loi Phat and Mr. Tu Bo De from the Pham Chi heathen line, also because of the Buddha's predestined sayings, the mind is enlightened.

The Buddha now says: "Bodhicitta does not come from grace." So they are not true that other sentence Xa Ly Ly talks about the theory of "nature" also true? May the Buddha stretch out his great compassion and create open space for us to be confused.

THE SOLUTION

Mr. A Nan had previously suspected of predestined and natural, all destroyed by Buddha, now he also suspected predestined and natural. Because the husband's doubts were many, the Thinh Van legal attachment was difficult to eliminate. Just like a banana tree, peeling off one leaf, showing another piece. Peeling off the sheath, the concave banana will be displayed. Breaking suspicion for all, the "new mind" appears.

*

IX. Buddha defines the word natural predestined and uncle

Buddha taught that: This A Nan, as he Ðã Ðã Ðã Ða Ða, because the predestined mirror, so he was born crazy. Until the craziness, emptiness  (province)  naturally born; Is the ultimate predestined and natural reason like that?

Hey A Nan, Da Nhã Đã Đãa other, if his head was natural, then it was still natural, so what are the predestined fears of running?

If the head is natural, because of graceful reflection in the mirror, it is new, so the head is still natural, why not because of predestined to mirror the mirror. Must know: the head has not changed or lost, but "frightened" itself was born. So what is the need to have a predestined mirror to be born crazy?

THE SOLUTION

This paragraph said broadly: If you say "Chon Chon natural", it is still natural, so what are the predestined conditions. If you say "predestined should be hopeless" why not due to predestined charm that the other mind. So know, Chon's mind does not transform the "wild hope" itself, which is not expected to be predestined.

*

- And say, "that craze is naturally available", so where is it when you're not crazy hiding?

The head had no natural desire, so why did the mad rush out?

If the enlightened person "his head is available", knows the "madness" itself is born, then the theory of predestination and nature are all play.

X. Buddha broke the attachment of predestined relationships to lead into "uselessness"

- So I said, "Three conditions: greed, hatred and delusion, all that means Bodhicitta." If the "expectation to kill the other mind dies, but the mind of Bodhisattva", then it is also in the cycle of birth and death. Must kill and birth are all, in order to be useless ( direct  salvation).

THE SOLUTION

This paragraph breaking the predestined Buddha accept the lead to useless use.

*

XI. Buddha broke the natural attachment to be speechless

- If he accepts "expectation to be eradicated, then the mind of Bodhi naturally arises"; so also in the cycle of birth and death, not really natural. Must no longer be born and kill, is so natural.

He should understand more: not naturally born, not the cause of harmony; ly  (detachment)  both natural and predestined harmony, that "glass" is no longer there, so that must be the last place  (unreasonable) .

THE SOLUTION

This passage is Buddha pointed to the absolute end, if still speaking discrimination, it is not absolute.

XII. Buddha rebuked Mr. A Nan and learned not to practice, so there was no benefit

- Ananda! He is still very far away from the Bodhi Nirvana result! If he is not diligent and has gone through many hardships and austerities, then even if he remembers all the mysterious meanings of the twelve sutras of the ten directions of the Buddhas, as much as the number of sands of the Ganges River, will only help him more. he was good at speaking, not for his own benefit.

He now discusses predestination and nature very smoothly. People praised him for being bothered by a lot of studies. If in many lifetimes he only contained this rundown without cultivating, he would never be able to get rid of that Magma Old Man.

If his empty study and listening is beneficial, then there is no need to rely on my mantra Lang Lang, to make that old Magdalene the source of love dry, the fire of sex dissipates, and diligent in spiritual practice. France, she witnessed the third fruits  (A Na Ham) . Then he was freed.

XIII. Compare to encourage spiritual practice

An Nan! He though many lifetimes remember the miraculous meanings of the Tathagata, but not by a day of practice of illicit karma, away from the two sufferings of hatred (greed, hatred) in the world.

Clear evidence, like the former Ma Dang Gia was a prostitute before, because of my mantra, the source of love dried up, fire dissipated, re-ordained as a monk.

And Gia Du Da La is the mother of Rahula, knowing that because of her past life, due to craving, many generations have to endure, to sign up.

Those who practice spiritually are also like that, let alone the male sons, who have learned a lot about listening but come back to accept seeing, listening to them, not knowing how to practice, how to despise themselves so much!

THE SOLUTION

This paragraph the Buddha rebuked very leaves anguished! If you only study a lot without practicing, then there is no benefit. We read this paragraph should not think: "Buddha rebuked Mr. An Nan alone," but He rebuked us all so. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.3/2/2020.
