Lesson 2

A. SAY THE MEANINGFUL

CHANH VAN

This mind (being of mind) has two parts: I. The mind is like, II. The mind of birth and death. These two minds are not separate from each other and are all dharmas.

THE SOLUTION

This chapter explains sentient beings' minds as the Mahayana dharma. Dharma Mahayana has a part: Chon as and Being passed away. Chon as the vast "body" of the mind; The passing away is the vast "General" and "Application" of the mind. Must be divided into two such aspects, to be clear The Body, General and Use of the mind.

If standing on "Monastic as", then the thought does not hit, discussing not mistaken, leaving the writing, ly all generals; How can there be differences? Therefore, it is necessary to mention General and Dung as the "subject of birth and death" in order to clearly identify the wrong action of "sentient beings".

Chon is like "The", and Being is "General" and "Applied". General and Dung do not leave The Body, The Hidden cannot leave General and Dung; just like water does not leave, the wave does not leave. Because The, General and Dung do not separate, so each part covers all dharma.

Because the Body and the Dung do not leave each other, should stand on the feet of Chon as that comment, then although "pure immutability", but still dependent on grace; still on the part of birth and death to watch, then but "depending on predestined differences" but still as invariant.

***

I. Chon as

CHANH VAN

The Chon is like the mind of undying being. The great form and its general covers all dharma (especially in the dharmas of the general dharmas).

The reason for the other wrongdoings is due to delusion; If leaving expectations, there are no other general scenes. Therefore, all the dharma from which time until now, can not use the name to call, can not use words to discuss, can not use the mind to think, there is no transformation and nor destruction because it is ultimately equality, there is only one "Chon Chon as".

THE SOLUTION

Chon Chon as this, Tanh Tanh being kill and cover all the fruit, saints, medicine newspaper chief ... Therefore, the original Chinese characters called "the first one of the world General General France."

Because hope should see all the other legal differences; as well as because his eyes were blind, there were speckled flowers in the middle of nowhere. If the hope is left, then there is not all the difference, there is only one "Chon Chon"; as with all eyes, there is only one color in the sky.

Because all the dharma is "Mind-like", it cannot be destructive, cannot use speech to discuss, cannot use names to call and cannot use the mind to think. From time to time, it's ultimately equal, there's no difference. Therefore, in the Sutta Scripture:

“Market-based legal position

The world is generally standing "

That is: the Dharma still abides by the status of this dharma; World generals are general generals.

PRIZE WORDS

Chon Chon as: Because this mind is not corrupted, it should be called "Chon", without changes in time and space, from time to time it remains the same, so it is called "Nhu". Chon Chon is also called "Chon Chon" or "Vien Giac".

The first discourse of general dharmasala: This sentence has a very broad and profound meaning, please give a brief explanation: Chon Chon as the General form of "Nhut legal world." about stubborn speech, not typical words. _The word "About" is just for "mind Chon" as this, it is "multiplication" is "like" is "instinct" born of all things, should be called "the first world". The world is the whole nature of the universe. In this legal world, it is possible to divide between the general (physical) and the special-form (all other differences).

Tâm Chon as the "General" (general) of all things; because it is equal but also captures all generals, it is called "Dai".

The word "Dharma" means: "preserving the nature and making people understand". The word "subjects" is the meaning of entry and exit smoothly. All sentient beings can be cultivated by this dharma, reaching the goal of salvation; if you leave this "General General Method", it is not possible to reach Buddhahood. In short:

The first one is the "Body" of Chon as.

General General is "General" of Chon mind as.

The dharma door is the "Application" of the Chon mind.

CHANH VAN

All of the words, due to expectations that distinguish being born, just by pretending not real. Until the noun Chon as well as not real; is just a needy word of words, used to eliminate other nouns (hope) only (in language control language). But the "Hidden" of Chon as can not be erased and can not be built. Must know: All things can not be erased because they are "Chon" so, and can not be established, because they are "Like" so. Because all the dhammas are chon like, so can not talk and think.

THE SOLUTION

All of the gossip is due to discriminatory expectations; nouns are just fake, not real. Until the noun Chon is also a fake damage only. Chon as Buddha or nouns are the same with all the provisional nouns thus subtracting the negative expectations of the world. Just like the teacher, temporarily use the pounding method to eliminate the noise of the students (of course, the language). By the time the students' noise is gone, the teacher's knocking on the board will no longer exist. Just as when hope is lost, all beings, Chon or Buddha are no more.

However, just leaving the nouns (Chon as) false, do not be like feet can not give up or take. Until the dharma also cannot be removed and taken. Because all things are "Chon", should not be abandoned, and "Like" should not be taken. Because the dhamma are like, it is impossible to use speech or mind to think.

In short, because of conceptual discrimination, should see there is a legal difference. If expectation distinguishes all, then all the dharma no longer has the general differences, but are all Chon. Because the dhammas are chon like, should say not hit, think not wrong and can not take or leave.

CHANH VAN

Question: _NIf "Chon as", but can not use the speech or mind to think, then how can sentient beings get along and get it?

Answer: _ If anyone knows all the dharma, although he talks, there is no "talk" and "talk"; Although there is thinking, without the "ability to think" and the department of "thinking", then he is depending on Chon.

And whoever leaves the concept (expectation), he is entered Chon as.

THE SOLUTION

In this paragraph, the Master makes a question and answer, to explain the suspicion of the reader.

Question: If Chon could not use speech and mind to think, how could sentient beings be dependent upon and enter into Chon?

Answer: _ If anyone knows all the dharma, although he speaks with thought, but does not accept the talking place of thinking, he or she is allowed to choose Chon as. Going forward one more time, if anyone leaves the thoughts, he will enter Chon as. Meaning "Vọng" all, then "Chon" appears. This passage has the same meaning as the four "arbitrary distinctions" in the Sutta Pitaka.

CHANH VAN

Again, if based on nouns (the language) that distinguish, then the word Nhon has two meanings:

1. TRUE NOT  (as real does), that is to say only the ultimate true nature of feet as Chon. That is: from which time until now, Chon as there are no deluded minds, not all the generals are different, in general, there are no complex dhammas.

Must know: Chon as non-generals "yes", non-generals "no"; non-prime minister "does not have", non-prime minister "is not it"; non-generals "also and not"; Minister General "One", Minister General "Other"; non-prime minister "not one, not another"; General Phi "is also different".

In short, because feet like not have all the different thoughts of sentient beings, should call that "really not". If when the expectation of mind is different, then there is no more called "no" anymore.

THE SOLUTION

In terms of absolute rationality, Chon could not call anything (renunciation of self), could not use speech to discuss (ly general speech) and could not use mind to think (ly center of charm). However, if based on the written words of speech, then Chon has two meanings: 1. True and 2. True.

This paragraph is about the meaning of "real" (that is, the general form), that is, only for the "Chon-like", from which time until now, it has no thoughts, no contagious phenomena and no generals. diffrent wrong. It all non-generals: Yes, no, not there, not no, until non-generals, general and non-uniform generals ...

In short, it does not have all the differentiated thoughts of sentient beings, and when leaving the thoughts, then the so-called "no" will no longer exist.

CHANH VAN

2. REALLY YES  (is it true?)

Chon's body like, there is enough merit of smuggling (ie the legal world). Because Chon does not have expectations, so Chon Chon. This Chon is often unaltered and full of pure dhammas; should say "is true" (any not).

But the realm of "real" is, there is no form to grasp, because it left the fish, so only the cultivator can know.

THE SOLUTION

In this passage says: Chon as having two meanings, that is, meaning Chon means as having two things. _ The paragraph on the aspect of "nature" of Chon, as there are no expectations, no defilements, ie "the best glass," should say "is not true".

This paragraph talks about the "general use" of Chon as, it is full of immeasurable merit, so "the world's best", should say "true". But in this "real" realm, there is no form to show, since the thoughts of discrimination are separated, only enlightened people will know. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.25/2/2020.
