"Let go of everything" for what?VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

The practice is not to let go, but to understand the reason for conversion ... One day, two monks and nuns sat and talked, and had the following conversation.

Disciple: Teacher, Buddhism advises people to give up everything right?

Teacher: That's not true!

Disciple: Obviously there is a "let go of everything" sentence?

Teacher: "Let go of everything" for what?

Disciple: Yes, the disciple also feels very suspicious! The disciple sees that Buddhism always sees the problem negatively. Many people ask the disciple: "If everything is let go, where do I get money to buy clothes? If everyone doesn't work, how can this world exist? ”

Practicing is not letting go, but to understand the reason for conversion ...

Teacher: Everything that gives rise leads to collapse, anything that doesn't give up leads to collapse.

Disciple: So what to do?

Master: Replace and swap!

Disciple: Ask me to show you!

Master: Can I ask a beggar who is willing to give the money he is holding in his hand?

Disciple: It can't be.

Master: Can I use a pebble to exchange for the money in the beggar's hand?

Disciple: I think it is not possible.

Master: Why?

Disciple: Because money is worth more.

Master: So what if using gold to exchange?

Disciple: That's okay.

Master: Why?

Disciple: Because gold is worth more.

Master: Therefore, the simplest way of letting go is exchange.

Practicing is not letting go, but to understand the root of truth. That is enlightenment.

The reason people don't let go is because they don't get better.

Using vegetarian food instead of salty food, you will let go of the scalpel.

Using alms instead of fighting, you will let go of greed.

Using faith instead of nothingness, you will let go of emptiness.

Using wisdom instead of ignorance, you will let go of being obstinate.

Using righteous thoughts instead of thoughts, you will let go wild.

Using patience instead of revenge, you will let go of anger.

Using love instead of greed, you will let go of heart disease.

Practicing is not letting go, but to understand the root of truth. That is enlightenment.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.1/8/2020.
