Buddha's ghost goods .VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

In short, delusion knows that delusion, the truth that is true, often awake always, that is the magic of ghosts, which is also the only spiritual practice. The cycle of birth and death since then cut off, gently overcome all terrorism, anxiety, and peace, winning all kinds of ghosts in the mind and outside the scene.

So I heard:  One time the Buddha was at Uruvelã on the banks of the Neranjara river under the tree Nigrodha Ajapala when he was enlightened. At that time the Blessed One was sitting outdoors in the dark and it was raining every single seed.

Then the demon wanted to scare the Blessed One, panicked with his hair flipped upside down, and immediately morphed into a big lord elephant and went to the Blessed One.

And the elephant's head likened to a great black stone, and its ivory was like pure silver, and the tentacle was like the head of a great plow.

The Blessed One knew "this is a devil" and said the verse to the devil:

You long reincarnation

The impure form

Just now the devil

You have been defeated.

Then the devil knew, "The Blessed One Knows Me, The Goodness Knows Me," and the sorrow and despair disappeared at that spot. (Samyutta Nikaya).

What do we see the Buddha with what he overcomes evil?

With power, with weapons or with charms? This is a very important point, we need to discern clearly, not only that living in the wonderful Dharma but becoming weak. Often we practitioners often have the fear of being harassed by ghosts, then listen to this person and that learn to chant spells or catch ghost seals. So we bury ourselves and look outside to ask for the distant faints. Truly we have lost what we shine in the past. Remember, Buddha, for demons, He did not use any spells. Before the challenging terror of the devil, He only realized: "This is the devil", then gently said: "Just now the devil, you have been defeated." So the demon failed to withdraw. He won peacefully. For example, in a house, if the owner is crazy about it,

On the contrary, with a wise owner, upright, not dependent, judging as the law, the outsiders can not disturb. Also, the Buddha with his own bright wisdom, not brought by anyone, not from faith, nor by books, he conquered the evil himself. Why? We should remember that, demons that manifest hundreds of thousands of strange physiognomy even through a illusory illusory. Already the illusory illusory can not exist! Therefore, when we know it immediately it withdraws on its own.

Let's listen carefully to this sentence: When the devil is told: "The Blessed One knows me, Goodness knows me", he immediately walked away with sadness and despair. Do not recite a spell, do not draw a talisman. Put simply, if the boss is wise, the guest must submit. The Buddha was like that, we of the descendants have risen from the source of that law, how could it be weak to lose the courage of the beginning! Let's let out a mighty roar of mighty lions of lions' line for evil spirits to be devastated to crush the gall!

You replace the Ma Ni level

Living in a stateless home

Knowing self-control

Here he abides

Live giving up everything

With proper cultivator

Many types of animal walk

Many terrible things

Many mosquitoes fly poison

No vibration at all

Mam Ni hairstyles

Living in a stateless home

Oil sky cracked earthquake

Oil like terrorists

Oil spear names

Toss threw at His chest

Buddhas do not create

The medical birth base.

That is, with the mind quietly putting away all attachments in life, there is nothing to be afraid of. So once again the Buddha defeated the evil (when the demon manifested the great king of the king to terrorize him).

Then came his disciple, a Bhikshuni Uppalavanna, at that time in Savatthi, Uppalavana stood under a flowering Sa La tree with flowers. The devil comes and says:

Hey Bhikshuni

Under a tree Sa La

Flowering a hundred flowers

Her beauty is gorgeous

No one dares to match

Here she came

In such a posture

That stupid girl!

Not afraid of temptation?

Bhikshuni Uppalavanna answered the devil with a verse:

Hundred thousand people tempted

Have come here like you

My hair is not moving

I have nothing to fear

Evil, I'm not afraid

I stand here alone

We can disappear

Or in your stomach

I stand in the middle of your lashes

You cannot see me

With mind subtly subdued

Spirit sufficiently religious

I am free from all ties

I am not afraid of you

This sage, evil!

We see, as a woman who was once considered weak, is Bhikshuni Uppalavanna worthy of our respect? Alone at the temptation of the demon she spoke so strongly that the demon had to retreat. Yet today we are in a private house, and we still dare not go out to urinate in fear of ghosts.

In the spirit of a Buddhist monk, we must be brave, courageous, self-radiant with the wisdom to smash all the illusory threatening shadows. Just look at its true face without timidness not to hide! What we have to discern carefully is "Winning ghosts is not winning against us". If our minds are full of crazy, dark thoughts, no matter what chanting is, it is unavoidable to be disturbed. Quiet mind, bright mind to stop all crazy, hopeless thought is beyond ghost. So say, "You change the Ma Ni rank, live in a stateless house. Know how to tame the Self "... If there is no place in the mind before the being arises, there is no place for stalking ghosts. Where have not heard: "Ly so greed, peace of mind, all fetters, even finding all lands, ghosts cannot meet."

Therefore, the devil with seven years of observing the Blessed One wanted to find His mistake, but could not find it, finally in the eyes of the Blessed One, in despair, said the verse:

As crows nailed nowhere

Stone feels like a piece of fat

Thought it would be found

What soft and delicious pieces

Could not find anything delicious

From there, fly away

Like crows pecking stones

Frustration we leave

Say goodbye to Gotama!

As the monk asked Zen Master Hue Thanh in Ba Tieu, "Should an enemy come to fight, a guest needs to see, when he encounters an enemy at the same time, what to do?" The monk replied, "In the stone wall there is a pair of torn grass shoes." The reason is that the house contains the wealth of property, so the enemy is robbed; on the contrary, what if the house is empty? Also, the mind if not then not expected to start, ma from where to see? It was like crows pecking at a stone, just struggling and then leaving. I have won!

In short, delusion knows that delusion, the truth that is true, often awake always, that is the magic of ghosts, which is also the only spiritual practice. The cycle of birth and death since then cut off, gently overcome all terrorism, anxiety, and peace, winning all kinds of ghosts in the mind and outside the scene. Please wake up and rise! END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.26/7/2020.
