Introduction  of Tathagata Meditation Monastery

In 1992, the Tathagata Meditation Center was newly established, some students requested that the Venerable Zen Master U Sīlānanda teach about the Twelve Causes and Causes. He happily accepted the condition that the students had to finish the Kalyāna class - Buddhists understand the Dharma. The day of teaching that even Venerable Ananda spoke about the Dharma of dependent origination was also reminded by the Buddha that it is a "profound, very difficult to understand and comprehend" dharma.

Therefore, based on the criteria set by the famous Buddhist monk  (Buddhaghosa)  , the Venerable Master wanted the Buddhists, to be able to understand and properly learn any important Sutta, to master a number of topics. Basic Buddhist Dharma consists of the five aggregates, the six bases and the ceiling, 12 causes and conditions, 18 eight lands, the Four Noble Truths, 37 Bodhi aids, 24 correlation conditions (Dependent Origination) ... In 1993, after the a complete student of Kalyāna class, He just started teaching the Twelve Causes and Conditions through many lectures.

In this booklet, in addition to the central focus of the Dharma of Pratyekabuddha, he also included many other basic topics and explained them in a coherent, elaborate and systematic manner. Above all, the Twelve Causes and Causes is a very close and smooth combination of Li Yan Sinh and the practice of the four foundations of mindfulness meditation by many concrete examples in meditation as well as in real life.

Also through this extensive topic, Buddhists have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the specific style of preaching of the Theravada tradition, especially that of the Most Venerable Zen Master U Sīlānanda, largely based on Buddhist texts, commentaries and treatises. famous and always close to the terms in the Pali canon ...

Because lecturing directly in front of students, the style and method of presentation are full of the framework and nuances of the dharma dialogues, many sentences and repetitions ...

In accordance with the spirit of the above when compiling the translation, the righteous friend Thien-Anh Pham-Phu-Luyen, in a very simple, clear and clear translation, has always tried to respect the verbatim of each idea and every sentence to be able to keep the accuracy, homogeneity and depth of content lectures.

All students and Buddhists all over the city respect the gift of the Venerable Zen Master U Sīlānanda, who devoted all his energy to teaching this marvelous Duyen Sinh teaching. The monastery also would like to express its sincere thanks to the enthusiastic and regular support of all the close and close friends for all the programs of the Tathagata Meditation program over the years. May this noble dharma method will assist you in the practice of liberation.

The Zen Monastery is pleased to present the book "The Twelve Causes and Conditions" to all of your friends everywhere.

In loving kindness,

The Tathagata Monastic Monastery

Compose The Word

When the late Venerable Master U Sīlānanda finished his lecture series on Paṭicca Samuppāda at Tathagata Meditation, appreciating the thorough teaching of the Venerable Master, I made a vow in front of him to prepare a Vietnamese translation with the title The Twelve Causes and Conditions to join the Tathagata Meditation Institute to assist him in disseminating the miraculous causal teaching to Vietnamese Buddhists. Although many Vietnamese books have been written on this subject, the Venerable Master's speeches are special because they are novel, insightful and clear, so it is hoped that the book of Twelve Causes and Causes will be a necessary contribution to Buddhism. Vietnamese students learn more about the Theravada teachings of the Buddha.

The book of Twelve Causes and Doctrines is compiled independently from the English book Dependent Origination, compiled by U Hla Myint and will be published by Tathagata Meditation in the future. Therefore, the two books have the same content because they are based on the same discourse in English by Zen Master U Sīlānanda, but they are not equivalent in the sense that the Vietnamese book is not a translation from English book.

When compiling the book of the Twelve Causes, in my heart, I just wanted to spread the  Buddha 's teachings taught by the Venerable Zen Master U Sīlānanda to Vietnamese Buddhists in return for a part of his loving teaching. both the dharma and the practice for many years at Tathagata Meditation as well as elsewhere. Then, when I finished this translation, I had mixed feelings and joy. Rejoice because he had done what he vowed but was pity because he did not finish in time to spread everywhere while he was still present.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the friends Tu Son and Nguyen Khiem for reading and giving valuable feedback to complete this work, as well as the friends Nguyen Viet An and Bui Hoai Thanh for presenting the book covers.

It is hoped that those who want to study the Dharma in general and the Twelve Causes in particular will benefit from this booklet.

In loving kindness,

Thien-Anh Pham-Phu-Luyen
