BUDDHISM OF THE BUDDHISM OF THE BUDDHIST. 2.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

 

 Today we begin to discuss the Ten Great Principles.

In this sūtra, many of our problems can be solved, as there is a problem that a harmonious religion is a great victory, if we also listen to the pagan sutras. is it the opposite of "a penetrating discipline"? True teachings have evil, righteousness, we have to distinguish clearly, but for those who have depth, their interpretation is not so, these people are not truly disturbed by the outside world, so evil will no longer. Currently we are ordinary, will be affected by the outside world, so the Chief Justice needs to make a clear distinction, to be far away from evil, and to be the main body, this is based on the basis of speaking. Today, everyone is invited to watch the Decade of Good Faith and Sutra Path. In the front there is "Thuong Du" by Emperor Ung Chanh, let us see this chapter.

The emperors of the Qing dynasty were all disciples of the Buddha, moreover during the Kangxi, Ung Chanh, and Qianlong periods, these three dynasties were the most successful period of pre-Qing dynasties, inviting wizards to lecture. We see in the record that lecture Amitayus Sutta, taking the teaching theory of the Amitayus Sutta to rule the nation. This work is worthy of praise. In the royal family, everyone reads the Sutta, listens to the Sutta, builds and understands it, this is a very intellectual and highly intelligent way. They don't use their own ideas, don't tell others to hear me some way, it's not like that! They listen to Buddha! The Emperor also listened to the Buddha, the god of death, and all the people who listened to the Buddha, their hearts were calm, so the people were treated. We take a look at this chapter of his, immediately learned how the Qing Dynasty could cure the nation, this place revealed a bit of information. "

"The only religion that teaches the senses of the people, the inner sea, the most unanimous reason, the infantry army is treacherous ".

This paragraph is to point out the credo, one word out. In the caveman age, all people called themselves "I", just like we now say "I". This word "Trâm" became a special word of the Emperor from the time of Qin Shi Huang, so later on, people stopped using this word to identify themselves. We must know the cause of this word.

"I think" , using the present words, "I suppose, I perceive", is the idea itself.

The three religions are Confucianism-ancient Taoism of China, called the three houses. These three houses all belong to teaching. You should know, this "teacher" is a teaching, not a religion. Religion in China is really very late, later got this noun, moreover not from China, but from Japan, so in China, there is no religious noun. , there is also no concept of religion, this is from the outside transmitted. The Chinese say "education" is the meaning of education, the meaning of education, and how to educate sentient beings. The meaning of these two words "teacher" is very good, "teacher" is behavior, "chemical" is the result. We receive the teachings of the Sage, and immediately he changes, this is often called changing the temperament, turning evil into good, turning into enlightenment, turning into mortal, This is the effective speaking of teaching. So the Chinese people use the word construction, the spear is the cause, the chemical is the fruit, the meaning is very perfect. This is saying Confucianism, Taoistism, Buddhism, these three types of education.

"Awareness of local people"  is to teach people to be enlightened. The inland is the only China, in China, promoting the education of the people. This meaning is very good, determined not to be superstition, is to teach enlightened beings.

"Li agreed to export the most" . Its reasoning is the same, from the form, it is based on filial piety, this is Confucianism, and all three peoples speak pious, gurus teach, although it is a way of saying their method is not the same, the method is also different, but the goal of their direction is decided to be the same, so "the planet leads, the children are not betrayed". The situation of China is so big, so many demographics, the day before the nation did not set up so many schools, who educated sentient beings? Because these three families bear the responsibility of educating sentient beings, helping the nation, helping the emperor, helping the society, making genuine mass society truly happy, peaceful and beneficial. This is bringing the vengeful interests of the three religions, one sentence says it all.

But people they are discriminating, attachments, they have defilements to train, so do not tolerate each other. This type of situation is not difficult to explain. Society today this problem is more serious, where the error occurred? Ung Chanh also just said one sentence out:  "The only reason natural power is not consistent" , this is a basic mistake. Why can not tolerate each other, why jealousy chained each other? The main is not suddenly consistent shop, can not suddenly informed. Surely it is enlightenment, can enter the realm of sage, the reason is consistent and then any problem can be solved.

"The eyesight of the eccentric " . Eccentricity is said delusion, discrimination, attachment. Each one delusion, discrimination, attachment is not the same. "The mind of the ants"  is the way of thinking of each person is not the same, so the negativity is the practice of money.

"A fake religion, the Buddha is like a religious religion ." The main religion is Taoism, a follower of Taoism, they say Buddha does not have the same dignity as Dao, so being religious, despising Buddhism, the problem immediately occurred.

"The direction of fake Buddha, the real Buddha is like the Buddha".  Disciple Buddha worship Buddha, see big Buddha, Tao is not as big as Buddha.

" Nhi Nho has an enviable reputation because of superstition ." Confucius' students shun Buddhism and Buddhism, superstition. Superstition is not the true Dharma, is a slightly more polite way of saying than the evil Dharma, not the right path, so the three disciplines are mutually exclusive.

" Hoai Hiep from the mind, distributing pictures to win, incompatible children ." This incident has been from the past until now, especially between believers and believers, there are contradictory opposites, more controversial sides, no one can stand low, go upward, but above it cannot go.

A few days ago, layman Ly Moc Nguyen also told me that Thai Hu's disciples and disciples of Vien Anh could not get along with each other, they attacked each other and refused to yield. After that, these two Sorcerers met each other very politely, their followers could see, but for some reason, these two elderly Venerable Master met each other so politely. Underneath them, they always thought that their Master was very good, was the first, others were not equal. Currently, this type of gas is deeper, everywhere we can see it, so we read this chapter "Super God" very deep feelings, or in other words, there are no mistakes or faults above. are on the bottom.

We continue to read the following paragraph:  "I of course maintained three religious commentaries, herons only average period period" . This sentence was said by Emperor Ung Chinh himself. His view of the three religions is different from that of others, why? Three teachers are meticulously elaborated, this place is the front saying "startling pubs", so "the euthanasia has a happy period." Binh is equal, the three teachers are truly equal.

Today we see Singapore, now Singapore has nine religions, before these nine religions did not interact with each other, also because they each thought that they were the first, others were always unequal, in in Buddhism is called "praise yourself, criticize people". Buddha said: "Praise yourself, criticize people", this is in "Du Gia Gioi De" is important gender, in "Pham Vong Gioi" are classified as not allowed. "Praise yourself, blame people" that you are creating a karma, you absolutely do not understand clearly with others, despise and disdain them, this crime is very serious! "Self-praise" is arrogant, belonging to a part of greed-hat-si. Honest intellectual people know the law of equality. The Buddha above Kinh Kim Cang said:  "The method of equality is not high or low . "

There are some people who say that the Buddha said "the equal method", roughly Shakyamuni Buddha spoke all the sutras. This is because we think so, is it Buddha's intention? Everyone does not dare to say! Buddha said this idea is not it? Today we read Huayen, from the view of Huayana we see that the intention of Buddha is not this. Buddha said the equal method is all worldly dharmas, including all religions, including evil ones. Why? Because of that, it can correspond with Dai Phuong Quang. The evil Dharma doesn't accept it here, so it's not Dai Phuong Quang. Deviant dharma and Dharma are also equal, this morality is very difficult to understand, why say it is equal? "The best export is the same", the Chief Justice is the mind of the momentary manifestation, the wrong mind and the mind of the momentary consciousness,

Mahayana scriptures we have read a lot, we know that with the corresponding dharmapāya called righteousness, in contrast to the dharmata called evil, so righteous, that we don't say yes or no, the root is one stuff, are all born from here. We must deeply understand this morality, then turn to contemplate ourselves, a mind of goodness is righteousness, a mindfulness of greed and delusion is evil. Ta, righteous self. An evil concept is in delusion, distinguishing variables, a good idea is in right understanding. Hope and righteous thoughts are one, not two, when delusion is called delusion, when awareness is then called right. Because this may know, the Chief Justice or the evil is the enlightened feeling. Enlightenment and the evil then turn into the Dharma, the delusion and the Dharma also turn into the Dharma, this is the true understanding of morality. So the three teachers who teach all are called enlightenment, The sensation is the true Dharma, teaching people to turn into a consciousness. The general of delusion is the six realms of the three paths, the general of enlightenment is the four saints, Nhat Chan. The general appearance is not the same, the karmic result is not the same, the result of delusion is suffering, the result of enlightenment is fun, so "energy is extremely productive", using the pure mind of equality to see.

" Switches of foreign turn accumulation, the internal evidence of the nature of copper ,  pediatric tri tam, profile only, non-human education, concessions ". You really understand, really communicate, you do not focus on the form but on its contents, its true nature. When I first met President Nathan, he told me a sentence like this:  "Of all religions, the most respected person is Buddhism, Buddhism emphasizes substance but not form". This statement is a rational person, an unreasonable person, so we respect him very much. It is possible through this exile that not only religion but the worldly world are equal, all dharma are equal. Equality, then our nature can appear, distinguish, accept before we can let go, so in the Mahayana dharma talks:  "The sermon of the Dharma, the law of any lawlessness . " Again tell us "is there any dharma that is not Dharma?", All dharma are Dharma, there is no dharma which is not Dharma, loving demons is also Dharma.

What is Buddha? Buddha is the meaning of enlightenment, as long as you communicate thoroughly and enlightenment, this dharma is called Buddha Dharma. If you do not understand, do not enlightenment, love in it, the Great Phuong Quang Hoa Nghiem Buddha is also not Dharma, must understand this morality. Dharma is all dharma, this is our normal explanation of the morality of all human universes, all the processes of formation and formation, using one word as a general pronoun called "Dharma". What does Buddha mean? Is to understand and communicate with these dharma is called Buddha. All of the worldly dharmas are thoroughly communicated, we call this man Buddha, they are not enchanted with all dharma. After thorough understanding we will know, just the Dharma, what is Dharma? Being corresponding to good, similar to sensory.

The Buddha Dharma says three standard words, Giac-Chanh-Tinh, which corresponds to Giac-Chanh-Tinh, which is called Buddha Dharma. Think again, what do dharma do? Ta Chief is in Enlightenment, then Enlightenment-Chief Justice-Tinh, and then it is delusion-Ta-infection. Opposite of awareness is delusion, the opposite of right view is deviant, opposite of net is infection. If this dharma teaches us to be deluded, then it is not the true Dharma, we call it paganism; they teach us the Enlightenment-Righteousness, this is the true Dharma. We have not cleared the mind of nature, or in other words, we are in the ten dharmas, we must learn the dharma, and we must renunciate the wrong Dharma. Wait until you transcend ten world legal realms, you have entered the legal world first leg then the evil will no longer. Among the ten dharmas, there is right view, in the most dharmakaya,

Please open the text, we continue to read "Thuong Du" by Emperor Ung Chinh, the first sheet counts down to the third row, from the second half. I took a few main sentences to read and contrast here:  "Phu Buddha's people read the ten precepts, the tenacious people, the corns of the generals and the generals often translate to the same meaning. good ear " .

We see from this paragraph. The front paragraph is to bring the tone, the root of the three teachings because we speak out, this place is also the theoretical mechanism that the Buddha said. Li is "the most consistent origin", is not so, so there are only three types of this method of teaching, followed by three different types of identity. This, together with the teaching of Mahayana Buddhism, is completely in agreement with principles and principles. The formal method is not the same, but its goal direction is the same, which is co-charity.

The standard of compassion is to correspond with the nature of mind, to correspond with the nature of virtue, this is the principle that does not change. But the degree of correspondence with the true nature is shallow, deep, wide and narrow. We know that the Dharmakaya Dharma Bodhisattva is pure, the four dharmakaya dharma is a bit inferior to the Dharmakaya Dharma body, the heaven is a bit inferior, the human realm is farther, the three evil paths are complete. all contrary to virtue. The Buddha's precepts, the Buddha instituted for us a number of rules, the Buddhists often called the precepts, all depending on this principle. This we must be thorough, then we can assemble the true wisdom of the Bodhisattva Buddhas, endless compassion, skillful means. Genuine people have wisdom, so "deformity" absolutely does not bring it to the heart that only "really". "Malformed" is the key in the contract, "substance" is the contract. As expected, the basis of the infinite nature of beings, we have no way of understanding.

We see in the Avatamsaka Sutra, the Bodhisattva Buddha can use greed-hat-si to lead a kind of being. This we seem to be contrary to virtue, but in fact they are not contrary, we go to work, it is contrary, they go to work, it is not contrary, where is this cause? Because their mind is pure, they are not infected by the pink light. Why can't we do it? We are polluted, or in other words, we come into contact with the realm, which arises delusion, discrimination and attachment. They are the Dharmakaya Dharma Bodhisattva, so when exposed to the realm they have no delusion, discrimination, attachment, and height right here. Leaving all delusions, distinctions and attachments attached to dharmata; infected delusions, discrimination, attachments are contrary, it is creating karma!

So the Buddha established the moral precepts for us, we are the most elementary, so we have to be thorough, we have to be able to assert that today we are the most elementary, what does Buddha teach us? Ten Compassionate Karma, this is the most elementary, preschool class of Buddhism, can we do it or not? If this is not possible, then the kindergarten status of Buddhism does not. This we ourselves need to reflect. At what stage do we learn Buddha? Themselves must be clear, thorough and thorough! Later, Thai Hu shaman lectured the "redundant Buddhas". The five precepts and the ten virtues belong to the factorial cause; inheritance, the need to add "four immeasurable mind", more or less have a bit of wisdom to be able to move from this place upwards.

We continue to see:  "Phap Buddha City of the Five Precepts" . The word "Phew" has no meaning, just an adverb. The Buddha said the five precepts, the ten virtues, this is the basis of the Buddha Dharma, the great duty of Buddha Dharma.

"The Taoist is very friendly ." "Tao" is leading and guiding people towards good. Studying Buddha must learn from this place, others cannot do it but we must, we must follow it. The precepts of goodness in the same form are the same, but in the virtue of virtue is not the same, this we need to know, so the ordination is not the same.

The five precepts are no killing, no stealing, no adultery, no expectations, no drinking; the ten good is also not killing, not stealing, not adultery, no expectations, seems like the same, but their results are not the same. "Precepts" are you who officially receive the teachings of Buddha Da, you make your own vows, just like the worldly people called oaths, you've ever made a vow to learn. Ten good does not, you do not emit this kind of ten good mind. Ten good results are expected to be blessed, the five precepts are not blessed, this place is not the same. What are the five precepts for? May the mind be pure, "the human world is determined, the human mind will open". The form is the same, the purpose of the direction is not the same, one is to pray for merit, one is for This is a difference between good and good. The five precepts are bound to be in front of the Bodhisattva Buddha's life, ten virtues are not needed, so practice these courses together, where is the intention? Where is the goal? Themselves must be clear, thorough and thorough.

A person who learns the Dharma of a pure mind is more important than anything. Preserving the precepts can take part in craving, delusion, and cultivating without this kind of power, intentionally or not here, so this is the most basic guide for good people.

"Ngo Nho is a regular soldier . " Emperor Ung Chanh self-proclaimed "Ngo Nho", he used these two words. He identified himself as Chinese, not a foreigner, Mancheng came to own China and joined China in the same country, the same ethnic group "Ngo Nho", our Confucian family, you see what this meaning.

The Confucianist said "five ordinary people" and the Buddha said "five precepts" very close to each other. The Five Elements are usually of Ritual Ceremony. Humanity is not killing, killing is inhuman, Meaning not stealing, Ceremony is not adultery, Tri is not drinking, Tin is not expected, along with the five precepts of the Buddha are similar. The person who can hold the five precepts is bound to be the next life. We can be a human being because in the past life holds the five precepts, this place in the Mahayana practice is called "leading the karma", leading you to the human realm to be born. We all have the same body and the same career, but each of them looks different, the circumstances of life are not the same, the rich are impoverished, this is a separate power, this power is called "karma".

What is menopause? Is good and evil karma. Even in the past life, when we cultivated good karma a lot, even in this life we ​​were rich, good karma cultivated a little, and this life was relatively poor. These two types of power we have to be clear, to be thorough, then we will not blame God, even though living in adversity we will not blame God, why? Because even in the past life has created unwholesome people, in this life righteousness of such karmic retribution, of course we can enjoy ourselves, this person can practice, can practice. If we resent heaven blaming people, this idea will immediately create misery.

"Five ordinary" is a Chinese ancestor who taught his children thousands of years, often treating people in the world. "Often" is uninterrupted. Chinese people have received this education for thousands of years, although recently lost, people do not mention it, but that root always exists, today we call it the moral good cause. Saying Chinese Mahayana Buddhism is easy for people to accept, what is the cause? Because that root is still there. We from the "five precepts", the "five ordinary", observing from this education, the Chinese see all people, see all things as good, everyone are good people, " fake champion. "

In the "ordinary five", the first is "personal". The merciful person has no opponent, if there is a confrontation with this person, this person is not merciful. Others may be enemies to us, we are determined not to be against him. It is difficult to tell others not to confront us, this is not the doctrine of the sage. We ourselves cannot confront others, others confront their own business, they despise us, we dare not look down on them; they demolish us, we must not demolish them; they insulted us, harmed us, we decided not to use vengeance mentality to confront them, this is studying the Bible, studying Hien. The Sage and the Wise are different right here. Phàm phu create karma, saint sage cultivate merit, not the same! If not to say, we read the book of sage, study of sage, so far?

These courses need to be kept in mind, and every hour and every minute cannot be reversed, which is called spiritual practice. If our knowledge of interpretation, acts contrary to the five precepts, then you are wrong! If we know it is wrong, we have to quickly repair it, this is the standard of good and evil of the great and holy world, and this is called good. Compliance with this new standard called good, does not comply with this standard is not good. Other people are unwholesome, we must not do unwholesome things according to them, we must do good deeds to convert them.

Beings why create akusala? Because the defilement of practicing the temperament is too heavy, no one taught them. In the Amitayus Sutta, Buddha taught very well:  "immoral, immoral, immoral, immoral enemy" . Maybe forgive them, their parents don't teach them, their teachers don't teach them, their adults don't teach them, how can they know? If there are no instructors that they know, it is a Bodhisattva Buddha reborn, that is a holy man, not an ordinary lady. The mortal does not have a teacher, what does defilement practice without being present! So we have to be thorough, but this place is saying Confucianism-Shakyamuni, in fact the content only refers to Buddha and Confucianism.

"Bach Hanh" and "virtue" are acts, and "cypress" is the visualization of plurals, absolutely not saying 100 things. "Ordinary", this "pentatonic" is really clearly a number, "cypress" is not a digit, is a picture of the word, the Confucian called "three thousand majesty". In "Ceremony" said "cypress" is just these things, are "luring advice", leading people to do good.

Behind, Emperor Ung Chanh has a story, this story is an incident in the Song Dynasty:  "the story of Tong van to question the central exam, Ha Thang chi continental record, duty of the customary economy" . "Lục Kinh" is a Confucianist. In all of the Confucian dictionaries, everyone knows "The Three Sūtras", it totaled thirteen volumes. "The Sutta" is in fact just "The Three Sutras", its tone, the teaching philosophy is "sacrifices", or in other words, virtue of social morality, its purpose is right here.

"Weak nature, weak legs, Buddhist principles of experience only men . " When it comes to learning about the nature of the mind, the Buddha Sutta is the first, and it is also the truth of the human universe, the Buddha Sutta speaks very thoroughly. The content of the Buddhist Scriptures, using the section of today's scholars that is said to include everything, is really the great perfection that the sutras often say. Tong Wen De understands.

"Like the native population, the pure population? Try the corn rules, even in peace . " Proposing the Dharma, "Aboriginal people's interest", using the current words to say that the people of the country and people nationwide can study Dharma, can receive Buddha Da's education ("Pure") is the sincere mind, "try" is to say the Buddha Dharma), can use pure mind, sincere heart to receive the teachings of Buddha Da, then we immediately "coordinates peace", people unscathed, make peaceful heaven, no need to worry about anything. This was before the national leader was aware of the three spears.

Ung Chanh can make these statements, of course they are aware, they agree with this way of speaking, they enjoy this way of saying. We also know that, of course, they learn this kind of way of speaking, no matter how much or how much they can relate to their enlightenment. They cannot do this part in relation to their infection. The practice of infection is the negativity of the air, the deeper the elaboration, the more will be the dispersion of the negativity, the sincere entry into the realm, they do not become the Emperor. The Emperor Shunyi ruled the Qing Dynasty. Shakyamuni Buddha understood this, the king did not need it, and was unrelenting from the educational work. This is even more fun than being an emperor, this is great bliss, compared to being a richer emperor. Then a person who is truly communicative can not be fully communicated at all! Ung Chanh is considered not so bad, Ung Chanh was the foundation of his son, so Qianlong was the most prosperous era of the Qing Dynasty, he built this foundation. We know that Khang Hi, Ung Chanh and Qianlong, these three dynasties in the royal court daily read the Sūtra and the Sūtra of the Immeasurable Sūtra, this is their conception, using the Sūtra of the Infinite Life to control the nation, they have this same understanding.

Behind is the " situation where the purpose of dialogue".  "Situation spend for dialogue" gives us great revelation. If you are thorough, today the world is chaotic, we work hard to study, you will have the faith to help society, to help those suffering misery of enlightenment, to leave suffering be happy. It should not be assumed that this personal force we cultivate is too weak, then we do not fully understand the truth. Understanding the truth, you don't have this kind of attachment.

We each strive to practice spiritually, even if a little work is not there, but quietly inspire. This power is still inconceivable, will affect the people around you, will affect the world, will affect the next life. The cultivation of a great meritorious person, if we do not penetrate the suttas, there is no way to understand. We always think that, what is a good thing as a monk? What does a poor creator create worth talking about? A poor creator will be involved in the society, involving the next life, error is also no way to say it all. We need to make these things clear, "the evil cultivating good, breaking enlightenment enlightenment"! END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.30/5/2020.
