Only know how to eat but do not know how to practice, then eat a lot, it is difficult to spend (karma) to; When a bad idea arises, if you haven't said it and haven't followed it, then you can repent in your heart, refusing to repeat it.
1. Cause and effect
If you only know how to eat and drink but do not know how to practice, then you will eat a lot, and it will be difficult to spend (karma).
Why do people reincarnate? Because lovelorn (seven things emotional or psychological state), the five desires are too heavy. When being Loved by Lovelorn and Five Lust, all day long people only chase money, beauty, fame, dignity, eating, enjoying and sleeping. Defilements also follow that birth, and then create all kinds of karma.
Do not assume that there is no reincarnation. Have! Very miserable!
In the past, Han Son and Thap Dac (incarnations of Bo-slap Van Thu and Pho Hien) saw people getting married, clapping their hands and laughing, saying: 'You see the groom marrying his grandmother. is not? Look, they eat you and their aunts! '
The others heard that and scolded them, saying, 'The Venerable is crazy! Bad talk!'
But when Mr. Han Son called the name of a pig, the pig ran to him immediately: confirmed that there is reincarnation already!
Those who like to be beautiful, wear high heels, then later (the retribution of that temperament set) he will naturally reincarnate as a horse, no need to wear shoes at all!
A person who keeps eating well will have a deep brain, want to sleep. Whenever you sleep too much, the latter (retribution) will make it a snake's body.
The buffalo, although working so hard, does not know how to escape suffering. Being a buffalo body is karma because previous lives as officials (public servants, state employees) are not pure and incorruptible (bribery), so this life must repay debt.

There was an official, and then he brought his money (earned from doing unjust work) to flee abroad. In the end, he had to pay the retribution and reincarnated as a buffalo in Taiwan.
'A life as an evil official,
Nine lives as debt debt.
The buffalo has two horns, and the tiger also has to abstain from fear. Gradually one day the buffalo will also understand. As buffalo plowing now, is also helping me.
When someone does something good, you agree and agree with him. But when you do not do well and you also agree, then your sin will multiply.
Know the white paper (you can write). Whenever a piece of paper is written in a classic script, do not throw it in the trash; should burn it. This is also a virtue.
Keep the words written on paper or on your shirt; Even if you have a small word, you must keep it. Embroidery letters on shirts should be cut and burned, do not throw them in the trash. Know how important the word is (the retribution) can read words. That is such a virtue!
Once upon a time, the ancient people taught Chinese respect, hospitality, ceremony, meaning, integrity and wholesale; thus producing many saints. Today, no one teaches such virtuous morals anymore, so the times are chaotic. Therefore, for those scriptures and treatises on that ancient morality, we must appreciate it.
Good things that you don't know how to use properly, properly (don't know how to preserve, maintain), and spoil it; then it's your fault. You have to suffer the consequences or retribution.
When handling, deciding to perform, or carrying out any task, you have to be very careful, because everything is causal. For example, the leftover food that you throw away or let it rot, you have to pay for it. Cause and effect are not wrong, and no one can bear your retribution:
The life and death of everyone is worried; Rice, whoever eats it is full!
There are good things, do not make it damaged. (Don't deliberately spoil; don't neglect, be careless, lack of sense of responsibility; or refuse to learn the right way to use or maintain it; don't neglect, scare, disrespect, don't value material arbitration.)
Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, Heaven, People, A-Tu-La, Hell, Peta, Animal, are all from that person. Anyone who practices properly leads to a good birth; tu scandal, breaking the Five Precepts, then fell astray evil road.
2. Repentance
Difficult to be human; It is difficult to hear the Buddha Dharma. Now being human, must try to practice properly.
Those in heaven enjoy the merit, but when they start a bad idea, they will be lost. For us, if we have sinned, we only need to sincerely repent, and we will be pure as innocent people. The Human Realm is the best realm of spiritual practice: to hear the Buddha Dharma, to know how to cultivate.
When a bad idea arises, if you haven't said it and haven't followed it, then you can repent in your heart and refrain from rebirth.
Question: It is difficult to keep karma for purity, because the bad habit of infection, accumulated from beginningless life, now encounters bad conditions so naturally arises. When the bad thought arose, I immediately repented, did I have to suffer from bad retribution?
A: The notion of evil is just thought in the mind, if repentance immediately there is no bad retribution. If the bad idea has been manifested in the mouth (verbal action), or we have already practiced it (the karmic body), then there will be retribution. Every second we have to repent; Having the mind of repentance, a new good idea arises.
Tell the practitioner to see what their inborn quality is like before speaking.
For example, to someone who has an inborn quality, he says: 'If you have sinned, you can repent. Crime created by the mind, so be sincere and repent. ' So then the other person is guilty, but he can repent and then return to purity: no more recidivism, mindfulness of the right path.
For those who have no root, I say that is not okay. Because teaching them that way, they think that just being guilty creates sin, and the mind of repentance is finished right away! Therefore, they are forever unable to sincerely repair mistakes, even if they repent forever!
There are exceptions to the rule, not an offense. You must study carefully to avoid misunderstandings.
If you accidentally make a mistake, you can repent. Deliberately making the mistake of not being able to repent. Repenting a crime must not exceed three times (that is, not to be repeated more than three times).
As for karma, we are not afraid of the arising of evil thoughts: just fear that we are awakened and aware of it slowly. Therefore, as soon as initiating evil thoughts, they must immediately repent.
Once you have made a mistake, you must always admit: 'I made a mistake' ; that 'I ask for repentance' ; that 'Please teach me.' Do not be born of afflictions, then all will fall to the Prime Minister, and there will be no evil notions arising.
The more one practices, the more he always feels that he needs to repent.
Big fish eat small fish. Humans are like big fish: eat anything, even tigers eat it; Therefore, the karma is deep and deep. If you are not clever in repenting your heart and bowing to the Buddha for many, then by the time Maitreya is born in this realm (that is, it takes a long time), you don't have any good root.
If you know how to practice, pray to Buddha a lot, pray for repentance, grow a good root, then maybe when Maitreya is born, you can be His disciple! END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.30/6/2020.
