CHANH VAN
This chapter is based on the group of sentient beings who have not yet come to the right concentration to talk about their faith in spiritual practice.
A. SAYING ABOUT FOUR TRUSTED MINDS
1. Basic news, that is like thinking of French feet.
2. Buddhist faith has immeasurable merit; practitioners often have to think, close, revere and make offerings to the Buddhas, so that the dharma root can be wholesome and pray to "The best in the mind."
3. The Buddha's Dhamma has great benefits; practitioners must often remember to practice the paramitas.
4. Tin Sangha is the chief monk who practices, benefits self-interest, and practitioners often prefer close to the Bodhisattva to learn the true happiness.
THE SOLUTION
This thesis has five chapters, the first three chapters are the theory, the fourth chapter talks about practice, that is, the initiation of austerities, so this chapter is very necessary for practitioners.
So who can initiate the mind of spiritual practice? _ Bodhisattva Ma Minh said, "It is not sentient beings who are into concentration, can initiate the mind of spiritual practice". Why? _ Because people who are deviant (the pagan) cannot initiate austerities according to Mahayana; And those who have already entered concentration, there is no need to speak; Only someone who is indeterminate (not in the Mahayana or Hinayana) has not entered the right concentration, can initiate the mind of spiritual practice according to the Mahayana.
So, what should one believe? _ There are four things: First, one must be confident in one's own nature, that is, one's faith in Buddha nature (the ability to become Buddha), also called Mahayana mind. . How to believe? _ Always believe and think in your heart, Its body is big, It's big, It is big. That is the basic news, and the next three things believe, also due to the basic information that is, believe the Buddha's three jewels who have witnessed as feet; believing the Dharma is the way to do things like; believing that the Sangha is practicing according to his feet.
Practitioners believe Buddha to pray for the best position; believing in the Dharma to practice according to the Paramitas; Tin Tang to learn true happiness.

B. SPEAKING ABOUT THE YEAR OF LIVING MONTH
1, Almsgiving
2. About the world
3. Patience
4. Diligent
5, Only, consistent (Dinh, Hue)
What is the practice of giving? _ If you see someone coming to you, what kind of material will you give to the practitioner, there will be two benefits: you can give up your greed. , and the benefactor is happy. so-called fearless generosity (almsgiving not afraid) ._ If someone comes to pray to the Buddha's teachings, he will, depending on his understanding, the means of preaching; The sermon with a good mind is to think for self-interest and to return to Bodhicitta, not for fame or fortune or to pray for respectful people.
THE SOLUTION
Regarding austerities, practitioners only practice Luc mode, the benefits of self-interest and self-forgiveness are sufficient.
Almsgiving has three things; contest, experiment and not afraid.
1. The gift, that is, there are two things of: a) Giving your money and wealth to help people, called foreign talent (of the outer body); b) Sacrifice one's life to save people, such as giving blood to anemic people, etc. For external merit, the practitioner will eliminate the mind of money. For example, the internal account, the practitioner will reduce the ego and ego.
2. The method, that is, the method, there are two parts: a) To teach the need for a professional method (career) to support themselves, called experiments on worldly law; b) Teach people the methods of austerities to liberate samsara, called the world-origin dharma. For example, the practitioner will eliminate the mind that is dull.
3. The test is not afraid, that is, the test does not fear, there are two parts: tribulation, are afraid, we make efforts to help, make people stop fear, also known as the fearless test. Almsgiving is not afraid, practitioners will cultivate compassion.
CHANH VAN
What is a monk? and wrong views. If you are a monk then, because you have to eliminate afflictions, you must be away from the noise, usually in a quiet place, cultivating a minimum of moral contentment, or cultivating a spiritual leader, etc. must also be born ashamed, repenting and abstinence; don't dare to disregard Buddha’s precepts. Practitioners must preserve, do not let people decry contempt, because they create sins.
THE SOLUTION
The precepts of the Buddha invented, in general there are three parts, the gopi is "the three pure precepts" (the three pure precepts):
1. Abandon the sins, called "photographer suspected gender";
2. Doing good deeds, called "Good practice of the Dharma Realm";
3. To benefit sentient beings, called "Many worldly useful interests".
Practitioners who practice according to Mahayana, on the one hand, must keep these three precepts pure; on the one hand is not to do bad things, to make the world gossip, but they take on sins.
CHANH VAN
What is the practice of forbearance? _ Patience is what one makes oneself suffer in the mind of a practitioner and does not think of revenge; and bear with the eight winds of the earth to: 1. Thanh Loi, 2. Failure, 3. Destroy, 4. Honor, 5. Praise, 6. Damage, 7. Suffering, 8. Fun.
THE SOLUTION
All circumstances, making practitioners create sins, not in addition to eight things, called "Eight Wind" (three winds); but in short there are two scenes: pros and cons.
Resources, fame, praise and joy are the four favorable winds, it blows into the sea of the mind of the practitioner, giving rise to countless waves of greed._ Failure, defamation (attack on human error) decry (speak ill) and misery is the four winds of adversity, it blows into the sea of the mind of the practitioner, giving rise to countless waves of greed. and suffering is the four winds of adversity, it blows into the sea of the mind of the practitioner, giving rise to countless waves of anger.
Practitioners when encountering the wind, whether favorable or negative, must also keep the sea of mind and mind to be quiet, do not let disturbing waves such as greed or anger, etc. emerge. That's called Patience
CHANH VAN
How to cultivate diligently? _ Make patience, cultivate good deeds, the mind will not be late and not terrified. Practitioners often have to remember that, from the past many long lifetimes to the present life has not known how many false body and mind and suffer countless suffering, there is no benefit at all. Therefore, in this life, we diligently cultivate merit, do self-seeking and self-seeking activities, to quickly leave the miseries.
Again, if a person of faith cultivates and is obstructed by previous karma, or is disturbed by evil spirits, or bound by life, or suffering as a result of suffering, etc., one must diligent effort, day and night six Buddhist chanting, sincere repentance, often not abandoned; advising the Buddha to stay and rejoice in the merits, to dedicate to the Bodhidharma. Must lane like that, the new practitioner from the obstacles and the roots of growth.
THE SOLUTION
Diligence is a factor for success on the path of life as well as on the Path. Practitioners without diligence can never become enlightened. Tinh is an expert at one job; Tons is going forward without stopping.
Practitioners are strong, specialized in the healing of the Dharma, the mind is not frightened, it is often to remember that: From countless lifetimes to the past we have known so many bodies, suffered so many sufferings, but have not been able to do anything both! So this life we have to cultivate the merit, to leave the sins. If the person suffering from previous karma is heavy, or the evil spirits are disturbed, or the attachment of life, the sickness afflicts the brain, etc. do not delay, the obstacles will end and the root of growth.
CHANH VAN
What is tu Chi, Quan? _ "Only" means suspending all delusions (to) , depending on the custom not (far away ma tha) ; "Quan" means contemplating the generosity of grace and rebirth (hue) according to the custom of contemplation ( pseudonym xa xa na).
Why is it called a consensus? _ Because the practitioner slowly practices, once both Chi and Quan do not leave each other, so called depending.
THE SOLUTION
Tu Chi, Quan means meditation and wisdom. "Only" is the suspension of delusion, ie Dinh; "Quan" leaves contemplate to grasp the truth of the dhammas, that is Hue. Tu Chi and Quan will be Dinh and Hue because Chi, Quan are Nhon, and Dinh and Hue are Fruits.
In the Sixth Division, divided into Meditation and Wisdom, is to give practitioners a clear view of the general, the uses and the results of two different disciplines. In this treatise on the chapter "Faithful practice", Bodhisattva Ma Minh also taught the practice of Lucifer, but the two degrees later become one and do not call for Dinh, Hue, but called tu Chi, Quan? _ Because Bodhisattva want to let practitioners have to understand that: Regarding the tu tu, the two are very related to each other; meaning practitioners have to practice both Chi and Quan together. In There is only Quan, in Quan there is only.
What is in the Only restaurant? _ Meaning to prevent the suspension of delusion, the practitioner must observe the law is not; because the dhammas are not, so the practitioner does not accept there, and does not initiate greed, etc.
What is in the Quan only? _ That means the practitioner observes the dhammas because of grace, harmony, being not truly born, but also not real. Because of the law, thanks to the grace of the false harmony, the practitioner does not accept, and does not produce defilements.
SPEAKING ON TEA (Dinh)
CHANH VAN
If cultivating "Only" (samadhi), the practitioner must remain in a solitary place, sit upright, his righteous mind, not rely on the breath, not up to the appearance of color and vain, such as land, water, wind, fire; do not rely on seeing, listening, or knowing, until the thoughts are eradicated, then the practitioner suppresses the "mind" except the remembrance.
Because of all the dharmas from which time until now, each thought not born, each thought does not kill, so the practitioner must not imagine and not imagine the realm of mind outside, eventually take the mind except the mind. If the mind delays wandering, then the practitioner must immediately bring back mindfulness._ Must know "Mindfulness" here, that is, "Idealistic", without external scenes. And this mind has no form can be memorialized.
THE SOLUTION
Practitioner cultivating Dinh (Chi), must be in a solitary place, away from the bustling place; body sitting upright, not looking upward; the mind must be righteous, alert and clear, not inconsistent; must escape separation, that is, do not hold back the breath (no anger); do not rely on identity; must escape from the world, without space, nowhere; and must escape centrifugal, do not rely on hearing or knowing.
Practitioners have to eliminate all the thoughts and then the mind except those thoughts also end; Must know the method from which time until now, only the mind (idealism), no birth and death, no realm outside the mind. Because of this, the mind has just wickedly ventured to follow the ceiling, the practitioner must record and bring back mindfulness, that is, the mind, called "use as to destroy delusions"; after this "mind" (mind) is no longer called "using mind minus mind".
The Old Venerable taught that: "The person who takes part in meditation must be separated from the mind and mind away from the realm; it means leaving the mind, consciousness, and greed, to get out of the holy path to study, to renounce the world of delusions and beliefs ”. In short, to discharge all.
CHANH VAN
Again, in all the time, when standing, sitting and going back and forth, doing all the work, practitioners must often remember the means (depending on predestined conditions only), that is, depending on observation. Practitioners practice so long on maturity, the mind is dwell; Because the mind is still strong and strong, it will eradicate deep afflictions and faith, so that it depends on the feet like the eighteen and quickly become rotten. Except for those who have deep karma, suspicion of distrust, or self-arrogance, they cannot enter Chon as the eighty-samadhi.
And practitioners, thanks to the method of Chon, such as the eighteen, know the only dharma realm; meaning recognizing the Dharmakaya of the Buddhas and the body of sentient beings equally equally, so also called Nhàn Hanh tam black.
Must know Chon as the basis of the three samsar; if the practitioner practices the samadhi, then there will be countless times the samadhi.
THE SOLUTION
This paragraph talks about "Custom-dependent means only"; meaning meditation is not only normal, but also the means to practice, without interruption. When walking to sit and do things, practitioners must also always observe the practice; so long on the mind was dwell, multiplying that power times strong enough to increase trust, increase the depth of negativity, be depending on Chon as the eighteen, into frustrating Any rot. Except for those who destroy the disbelief, do not enter Chon as the eighty.
Practitioners are Chon as tam soot, then know the legal world is one, beings and Buddhas are not equal, enchanting the same nature, should also be called Nhut Hanh tam soot (Tam soot oneness).
Chon as samadhi is the basis of the samadhi, so people who have attained Chon as tam soot will have other samadhi.
The word " Tam soot" , Chinese translation is Right Concentration or Right Life; Meaning that Dinh Dinh has time to master or properly.
