 hexagonize them ".

 Scripture: "Of course giving, maintenance, patience, diligence, meditation, wisdom, six levels of happiness. Teachers establish a being, abide by supreme, true footing".

 

 In the Mahayana Sutta, it is often said that  "the six hundred thousand virtues" , in the end what they mean, we cannot help but be thorough, cannot be unclear. If it is impossible for these Suttas to be meticulously organized, then we will not have the life.

 Luc Do, the Four Regents is the Blessed One who teaches the Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva is the student), teaches the Bodhisattva austerities, and the principles. The noun "Bodhisattva" is from the Indian Sanskrit pronunciation. The meaning of this noun can be translated, but why not? In ancient times, the Great Master translated the respectful respect for this noun, so it belonged to "respect not to translate". The meaning of this noun Great Master Xuanzang said very well:  "Sentient beings are enlightened" . If you are enlightened now, you are a Bodhisattva.

 Naturally, the level of enlightenment differs in depth, large and small, so the Bodhisattva has many levels. As in the Sutta, "the Three Sages of the Holy Cross" says this is the level of Bodhisattva. The higher the status, the more enlightened they are, the deeper they become. The lower the status, the enlightenment is relatively shallow, relatively small. Currently our fellow initiates are all Bodhisattvas, in the end what level are you? Other people don't know, even you yourself don't know. Do not know do not need to worry, enlightenment is good, just afraid is not enlightened. The fact that above Mahayana Buddhism tells us so much, Dharma is equal. These are the true words. In equality why say so much difference? The difference is not from where Buddha is divided, but the difference is that a particular lady is different, Buddha depends on the ordinary lady to say many different things."Perceptual anomalous sense" . This is we just enlightened, along with enlightenment fullness on earth Tathagata reality said that there is no difference. What's the difference? The time for us to be enlightened is too short, the work is too shallow, the realm of money is immediately lost in love, we cannot permanently preserve enlightenment. The difference is right here. Enlightenment of the Buddha and the great Bodhisattvas can be preserved forever without giving up. This is called elaborate. This practice is, in fact, not too rare, because we are each and every being inherently different from Buddha, so it is not unusual. The main problem is right in us.

 Why can't it be like the Bodhisattva Buddha forever preserving "enlightenment without delusion", why can't the Chief Justice be without deviant, pure, uninfected? The key is right here. We want to ask, why ultimately we can not preserve? Roughly speaking, we can only speak but cannot do, so it cannot be preserved. Bodhisattva Buddha why can preserve? They say that they can do it, they say it can be done, then they can do it, so they can preserve it. Now we want to ask, when is it possible to reach such a realm? This is a lot of sincere people want to accomplish in this life, the most concern, you really want to live in this life to accomplish, there is no other way to meditate. The Buddha above this Sutta teaches us how to do it, what we truly do. You see, just opened the "constant" . You have to be conscientious, to be determined, to have the energy, to do that forever, not to do it twice, but to do it with all your heart, not to be afraid of obstacles, not to be afraid of difficulties, there is no doubt, how much strength we have, we make as much power, we use our own resources, our labor. Using resources is called external giving, using our physical strength is internal giving. Dao Trang has many fellow initiates who automatically come here to do merit, this is part of the generosity. The key is "constant".

 Currently, this society is extremely insecure. Today, before we preach the Sutta, the leader of Zoroastrianism came to visit me. In two more days he had to go to the United States, something like two or three weeks before returning. He specially came to visit me, asked me a problem, what kind of views would I have? I am just encouraging, all the professors of our Religion, the leaders in Religion, everyone must definitely unite to cooperate and work hard to educate sentient beings. Currently, this society is often inferior to love, less trustworthy, between the skeptical sides, the discrimination against each other, the high self-conceited, self-deprecating desire. This kind of psychological phenomenon will bring insecure society, The world is no longer peaceful, we still have to go through hard days. This is me telling him. He told me even simpler, more thoroughly. He said that the world economy is currently showing very clear signs of recession, maybe next year will not be as good as this year. His words say I agree. Therefore, we have to work harder to practice the teachings of Buddha Da on the Sutras, to try to memorize them "Learning the sphinx, the criminal behavior" , abandoning his own life also does not regret it. We are saving ourselves, because we help sentient beings. People who learn Buddha are not afraid of death, learners of Buddha know there is no samsara.

 What is death like? Get rid of one body in exchange for another body. Honestly, entering the realm of the world, the view towards samsara is the same as we change clothes, this clothes is already worn, removed, in exchange for a new one. This is the true truth. This realm is absolutely not very high. Therefore, intelligent people are bound to worry about the next generation, hoping that the future will be better with this life, the more they will win, the more meaningful it will be. If the next life is not like this life, then this life of ours is wrong, this life has passed.

 How to bring your own world up high? Our predestined relationship today can be said to be difficult to meet for thousands of years. These words are true, not false. In the shelf of Kinh people, it is said: "Hundreds of thousands of lives are hard to meet" . Lay Bang Bang Te Thanh in front of the Qing said: " Many  lifetimes are rare and difficult to meet" . Today we encounter this Sutta, the First Sutta of Buddhism, and there is no equal in victory. Business though not long, short comments, most important, first to communicate the meaning of Kinh. Reading every sentence each word, our meaning is clear, this is the first important. After thorough, definitely have to practice.

        The first thing in Lucifer is "giving"

 Buddha taught us "giving," we really do, to our own power. This incident should not be reluctant, reluctance is wrong. The person learning the Buddha-mind is bound to be sincere and pure, in mind there is definitely no pollution, the body and mind is bound to be relaxed, without any urgency. This life is very self-sufficient, Buddhists often say "great liberation", the world people say this is the most abundant form of life, or in other words, we have less illness, less brain. Buddhists often bless people with "little brain disease". Few brain diseases are coming from here. Medical service, we can achieve true happiness, true contentment.

 When sentient beings are needed, we must wholeheartedly assist each other. We look out to the World, look at this planet, what is the most needy being on this planet right now? As an education of Buddhism, nothing is more important than this. However, there are some poor and miserable areas, they are short of food, lack of medicine, we give some food to them, give some clothes to them, give immediate relief. The ancients we often said, emergency can save, but then how to be poor? If you make these people a lifetime, even to their next generation, they have to rely on sacrifice to spend the days, then our method is wrong, your compassion is false. real. True compassion is to help them to develop their wisdom, to instill in them the skill, skill, so that they can earn their own lives,

 Buddha was compassionate to the extreme for the ten Dharma Realms, Buddha taught us to eliminate karma. This is so compassionate. What method to eradicate? The evil, the good. Buddha taught us to develop wisdom, to teach us to restore the universal virtues of our own nature. What method is used? Enlightenment enlightenment. Are in the "alms". So, in alms include the alms, alms, fearless alms.

 This time I went to Co Xun to participate in the Lost Buddha, this time the Buddha was relatively hostile, there were nearly 100 participants, the touch could not think. After the conference ended, talk with fellow practitioners, addressing their doubts. Including a fellow practitioner, he who is the manager of the basketball court, came to tell me, the soccer field has a lot of small worms and earthworms, they are sometimes forced to kill. The owner of the football field, Dan Dan Tu Ly Ly Kim Huu, told him not to use agricultural medicine, not to kill. He is extremely difficult. He said, I am always doing my best, but sometimes reluctant, dare not tell him, it is still to kill. He asked me what to do? I taught him, you have to strengthen the connection with the same soil damage, that mountain is so big, next to the soccer field, there are many trees and flowers, You have to teach those worms to move their houses to the other side, not to go into the football field. Can it be done or not? May! Doing it is not your sincere mind. You must know, these small animals are understanding people, you love them, they love you; You help them, they help you. We must equally treat and harmonize with each other. Why can't you catch these small worms? Firstly, you treat them unfairly. Why can't you catch these small worms? Firstly, you treat them unfairly. Why can't you catch these small worms? Firstly, you treat them unfairly. "I am human, they are identical" , then that is not possible, this kind of attitude they cannot accept. You have to treat them as friends, treat them as relatives, genuinely love them, they will be moved.

 Not only animals have primate, but plants and flowers also have nature. Not only flowers and trees have spirituality, but pebbles and tiles also have nature. We are very clear, very thorough. Why do they have spirituality? On "Kinh Nghiem Nghiem" said:  "Love inadvertently accidentally fellow members location" . The "accidentally" that includes plants, minerals are a legal nature to appear, how there is no nature.

 We must bring this concept of "killing" away from within to be able to make self-interest. The defilement subtracts from the basic, the intellect we immediately declare; For people, for work, what objects should use what method, what attitude should be used, they immediately thorough. Then you open the book and immediately understand, Buddha every sentence every word has immeasurable meaning.

 So today we say "almsgiving", the first one is sincere generosity and generosity. We summarize the Buddha's teachings as  "sincere, pure, equal, righteous and compassionate" . Compassion is the mind of love. The first thing we have to do is give. We use this mind to treat the next object, we respect the Buddha to use this mind, then for the ants also use this mind, certainly no two minds. These small animals have Buddha nature, plants and flowers have dharma nature.

 Dharma nature with Buddha nature is a nature. How to bring one's own mind and the mind of Tathagata into one, then bring your own body and all beings into one body. You can enter this realm and congratulate you, you have witnessed the dharmakaya. The witness is a legal body, in the Mahayana Sutta called "Dharmakaya Dai Si". So what can not be said without understanding? We often say that people must respect each other, must love each other and cooperate with each other. People with all animals, people with all plants, minerals must respect. We respect them, we love them, they also love us; we help them, they help us also.

 Must do from myself, should not ask others first. First must ask how we deal with people. So, from being an ordinary Buddha to a Bodhisattva Buddha is nothing else, just asking himself and not asking others. We demand that we naturally obtain a retribution. Retribution certainly cannot pray. I treat him well, he must treat me well. There should be no mind. I think it is the right thing to do for him, no matter how he is to me, determined not to be in the mind. That is why we can achieve it, so we can be truly like Master Hui Hui said in the Sutra Pitaka:  "If we are a genuine practitioner, we will not see the fault of the world" . extra large.

         Every hour every minute must be because sentient beings make good examples.

Being a good example is almsgiving. Can't say they didn't do a good job, why should I do it, that's wrong. Those people all agree with hell, why don't we go? Isn't this the idea? We learn Buddha, Buddha is our example, Buddha is our model, how other people have absolutely nothing to do with us, our own way of doing it must be true to the Dharma. We have the talent, using our resources to help others, the more we have to use the methods to help others.

 On the Buddhist Sutta, the fortune is the result of the poor, the French is the result of ignorance. So we should not be afraid of using our talents to help others, their future is better than us. You keep this kind of mind, your next life will suffer from retribution. You use the method of teaching others, fearing others who are superior to us, the next life will be dumb. In the Buddhist Sutra telling us, his student, Chau Loi Ban Da Gia, said a paragraph of his story, even in his past life he was the Tripitaka Dharma, right in this life why turned into stupid like that? It is when teaching others to use the dharma, to be afraid of others surpassing them, to always want to keep their own, not to completely teach others, so right away this life will result in a foolish retribution. Buddha taught him to learn a verse and cannot read the sentence below. If you teach the lower sentence, you will forget the above sentence, so stupid. The Buddha knew that he should help him, teach him to practice the Dharma of penance, to eliminate karma, his intellect immediately appears, and the merit is also present.

 So we should be ourselves first and foremost not to obstruct ourselves. Karma is not coming from outside, but by doing it ourselves. Themselves hindering themselves, others cannot obstruct, self-reliance, resolving not to resent God to blame, so that is the intelligent person. Sincerely understand already, could not help but practice alms. Do not practice almsgiving, yourself eternal life blessed blessings are not. Wholeheartedly do that, do no taboo. Our entire fortune today is only a bowl of rice, we see others have no rice to eat, we even split it half for them, this is the Paramita. After assigning them, what if we have no more? No more no worries, certainly no worries what we will do next year. Accumulate a little bit, see other people besides hunger, you do not reach out, then you are wrong. We each recite the wish to pray to the Pure Land, each recite wants to see Amitabha Buddha, and how can the mind be so reborn?

 All alms, consecration, tomorrow nothing to eat, try to recite the Buddha immediately go to the World of Bliss. This is not fake. Why is it still attached to this World, cannot be abandoned? So help beings suffering, yourself without any worry, must be clean, empty.

 In almsgiving there are three types of generosity, almsgiving and fearless almsgiving. We have to work very hard to study, this is called the Bodhisattva practice. Here the most important thing is to help sentient beings learn Buddha, help enlightened beings, this is the greatest merit. If we ourselves have very bad karma, there's no way we can eliminate karma, just need to honestly turn your head. Turning the head is the penance. In front of the Bodhisattva Buddha Desiring, that is superstition, can not correspond. Genuine from the set of evil gas turned back, often self-reflection set evil air, evil behavior, turning around evil from good. Buddha is so taught to us, the worldly Saint is also to teach us so, again look at the Sutras of other religions, is still to teach us so. So could it be wrong? Efforts to cultivate virtue, to eliminate all evil,

 Lay Lay Lam recent works, people see it. This is more than two years, Chief Lama Ly Moc Nguyen said he wanted to build a village of Di Da, helping people recite Buddha's name. In fact, because Singapore land is very difficult to buy, ultimately reluctant, Layman Lam still has a piece of vacant land, bringing this piece of land to build. I heard that he wanted to build a five-storey building, mainly to build rooms. Later, people coming here to recite Buddha's name had a relatively comfortable living situation. This work is roughly one and a half years, so it is very fast. This is almsgiving, three types of almsgiving are in it.

 We in other areas have fellow initiates, we help them the same way. This time, Tan Xun That Buddha was on the mountain, Dan Ly Ly Kim Huu The last day he came to join. When he joined, the view was very happy. Because the Seven Buddhas this time celebrated in the land where he himself lived. The living room of his house was very large, temporarily bringing the living room as a Buddha hall, more than a hundred people there worship Buddha. He himself also participated. Then came to me, need to build an additional Buddhist Mindfulness. I said,  "Too good! You can develop mindfulness to recite Buddha's Road, this is something we are very happy about, we also applaud, we also rejoice . Contemplating Buddha's Road, of course, there must be bureaucracy. People come to recite Buddha's name in your place, you have to entertain ”. This time it was his hotel, using his hotel to entertain, staying for more than a week where the hotel, for more than ten days without business, did not accept outside guests, so that these fellow practitioners could recite the Buddha's name in. The initiates recited the Buddha's name here, saw the price of that place, and it cost 300 dollars a day to think so what to do? Later, if you come here to recite Buddha's name, you cannot have money without it. So when we think about it, we specially build a reception. The reception was currently planned to be one hundred people, fifty rooms, one room for two people, two beds, one hundred people. The future is free. Up to the mountain to eat and drink, the service cost is very small. This is to be yourself to shoulder. In the mountains completely vegetarian, the vegetarian food we grow ourselves. I was in the mountains, three meals, each tray of a large tray of greens. I did not eat anything else, ate very good, sweet vegetables, in the mountains there was definitely no agro. Small worms have nature. This mountain he has been exploring for six years. He told me that in the first year of planting vegetables, nearly 90% of the insects were eaten up. How to eat it all? Rejoice. People we want to eat, worms also want to eat, could not help but feed it. Decide not to kill, nor to chase them, according to them. By the second year, worms were very polite, half saved for him, half for each person. Currently up to the sixth year, worms immediately special grace, roughly coincidentally eat only one two percent, 95% or more you can harvest. How can they not have good sense! Moreover, in the vegetable garden, in the past, they used to play music, while the vegetables were eaten, music was offered to them. After I finished watching, I proposed to him to open the Buddha's name, So currently, the vegetable garden and the flower garden all open the Buddha's name, and they take refuge in the Three Jewels, so each one becomes a protector. Worms of vegetable gardens can act as guardians, table tennis worms can of course also act as guardians and morals like that. Sincerely, compassion, we give loving-kindness, equal love to all beings. This is referring to this "alms". The specific way we do it during lectures speaks a lot.

 The circumstances in his mountains were very good, and honestly he did not want to go down the mountain. On the mountain to build a reception, this is the first court, as I started, fifty rooms. We use US dollars to calculate, for example, one hundred thirty thousand, 100 people, fifty rooms, you think about how much one person will cost? Thirteen thousand. Two people a room, a room of twenty-six thousand, the construction fee is not high. This is a four-storey architecture, on top of it is Buddha Recitation Street. Reciting Buddha's Road together lecture hall together. Second floor, third floor, just said it before, fifty rooms, bureau room. Downstairs is the cafeteria, their workroom, the operation center. Build four floors. This architecture after the completion of construction, welcome people to up the mountain to recite Buddha's name.

 Certainly often, there must be two wizards who often stay on mountains to lead the masses. Where does the Wizard go to find? I told him, we went to serve. Our fellow practitioners take turns, one goes up the mountain for half a month, one month, everyone takes turns. Must lead them honestly recite the Buddha's name, also 24 hours uninterruptedly, recite the Buddha's Sutras without interruption. In that place of him is a hotel. In the hotel if doing this kind of career, hopefully future hotels around the world have a place to entertain, all recite Buddha's Road. Isn't this a good thing? We take it as a key point of almsgiving, it can affect a lot of hotels. In these places, people who hang out and take vacations for a lifetime may not have the opportunity to contact the Dharma. Arriving there, they can contact the Dharma, they can listen to the Sutta,

         The second thing of the Lucifer is "Tri Gioi".

 Talking about morality is the method. In the tactics, the most important is "green glass". This is World Religion because of the disciples. Corporate life is bound to abide by these six things. Of these six, only one thing is broken, all five are broken. So it is not the same as the five precepts, the five precepts can take each thing life-long, one thing realizes one thing, it takes two things for two things. Six glass glass is not so, glass hex glass is to have all life, one thing is broken, all other things are not. The five precepts of the ten precepts are that we cultivate ourselves, and the six precepts we are together in mass together, so the meaning is not the same.

 In common with the masses, the first thing has to  "build together to understand" . The current person is called constructing to understand, in the glass continent is called  "ants in harmony" , the main meaning is "build with understanding". In this sentence, the meaning is very deep, very wide. The Bodhisattva Dharmakaya, like "Hoa Nghiem" said, said the First Head and up and their understanding is "dharmata", as in Zen Buddhism says "enlightenment of mind nature", so of course there is no problem, this is tallest. We today have not yet witnessed the dharmakaya, we are ordinary, and understand where the elaborate from? Today we cultivate as the Pure Land Dharma, we rely on it as the "Mahayana of Infinite Life", we immediately know it, we

"reconciliation ants" must be based on the "Mahayana Mahayana". The Sutta teaches us to do, we must work hard to do it. In the Sutta, we should not do it, we decided to comply, the decision was not against. This Sutta is our understanding. If you study a Dharma Method, that Sūtra is your understanding, so it is not wrong. So, every day of the early evening, we recite it together, study together, discuss together. What is the discussion about? The first is the meaning of the Sutta, the second is to discuss how practical. We learn and then be useful. If the meaning is not clear, it is not thorough, there is no way to do it, then we are wrong, our practice is wasted.

        Amitabha Buddha.

 

In fact, in "Luc Hoa Kinh", the main point is the two things ahead. "Kien reconciliation solution" is tu mind, cultivate the mind pure equality; "About the initiates" is self-cultivation. The four things behind you are saying you are practical, these two are already practical. Practices in the mouth "export peace with no picture" . We all have a debate when we are together, so there are two things ahead of you. But debate is common. Why is there a debate? We have to consider much. Why does the Bodhisattva Buddha stay together without any argument? This type of air volume is not good for us, and there is no way for them to reach the Ultimate Bliss World.

 What is the root of the argument? Is not self-interest or what? Seeing that other people's creations did not match their own ideas, they argued. Why can Bodhisattva Buddha do, we cannot? The Bodhisattva Buddha is not self, so they have no argument. Bodhisattva Buddha certainly does not have his own interests, so they can constant beings, can attain any merit. Today we cannot be arbitrary. This is worthy of our profound reflection. Other people do not fight, we do not have any problems, immediately calm. Certain opinions must be resolved. Based on what to neutralize? Certain Scriptures base to neutralize. So, for us beginners, the Sutta is our standard of practice, we cannot leave this standard.

 They all read through "Kinh Kim Cang" (many people read it very well), in which Ton Venerable Bodhi Bodhisattva himself said, Shakyamuni Buddha encouraged him, said he was "invisible to the eighty. ". Why can Tu Bodhi do it  "with people who don't fight, with life without prayers"?  These two words he did, why can't we? So think again, the world all things, on "Kinh Kim Cang" say very well:  "All things are like magic dream illusory pictures" , nothing worth painting. On "Sūtra Infinite Life" teaches us:  "Consistent as chemical, eighty ordinary life"What are you fighting for? So just start this concept "picture", then this idea immediately wrong, do not know the truth the truth. Knowing the truth can truly let go, this notion of "painting" is no more. When you can teach, then teach you, when unable to teach, give you, Bodhisattva will give in. You cannot accept the Buddha's teachings, Buddha leaves, giving you. By the time you start your thoughts, I hope a good person comes and teach me, then the Bodhisattva Buddha will come. Unable to accept advice, the Bodhisattva Buddha did not come. Wanting to have good people come to teach them, the Bodhisattva Buddha immediately appeared. So Bodhisattva Buddha depends on the type of reincarnation, depending on what the dharma says. We must learn to be patient, to learn from the infinite, full of boundless merits and virtues.

 The worldly people often say:  "The peaceful family master hung man" . The painting is not in harmony. Just had a dispute, the immediate disaster. The decision is not in dispute, whether rational or unreasonable. Ridiculous but not even reasonable picture? Let the enemy slowly think. These are all methods of education. At the Buddhist house, this is a teaching ritual.

 "Harmony in harmony". The word "cylinder" has a very deep and wide meaning. In short, we all live together, our bodies are competitive, both sides take care of each other, tolerance each other, and decide to make from ourselves. Ordinary people often think of a place that takes up other people's comforts. These are all set of fervor, despair, pride and arrogance. This belongs to karma, this is not intellectual. Genuine people have wisdom, virtue, where in yield, or in other words, where others yield a little bit of comfort, where oneself suffer a little disadvantage. This is spiritual practice, one's own virtue. In the end, the person who suffered from the accomplishment and the occupant failed. This example is very clear, you read history, you look past the inside and outside, the factors of success or failure, so much consideration. Again observing the people and things around us, they succeed, where is the cause of success? They fail, what are the factors of failure? We are here to study, these are all real textbooks. People know how to learn, they achieve in this place. People who do not know how to study, unfortunately, this life is empty, empty.

 "Italian sociable approval" , this is effective. In the Mahayana Sutta, "there is joy in the mind", for all people, all things, all things, nothing is not perfect joy. Where did France come from? The five types of harmony in front of you can be done, all can be practical, you are definitely perfect dharma. You alone can do it, then you alone happy fullness. Your organization can do it, so your organization has every pleasure. This is the true human life and happiness, why not do it? "Luc Hoa glass" is a life filled with wisdom, supreme Dharma from this place but practical. If we cannot live with others, how can we learn Buddha? In a few simple sentences shallow, contained within that great ethics.

 The last sentence:  "Loi sociable huan" . No matter of material life, no matter of spiritual life, we must share with the general public. This is the present common person called common property.

 In "maintenance of the precepts", the basic precepts are "the five precepts", "the ten virtues", "the hexadecimal" (the six degrees are the precepts), "the six glasses of glass", the "four regents", these are the five courses. Very important item. We can bring them into practice, then we are truly Bodhisattvas. In here "green glass" difficult. Just now I told the fellow practitioners, tolerance is not difficult. Yourself willing to suffer, comfortable to others, occupying the glass, instant tu good tu. Refusing to yield to others, cultivating the hard glass immediately. But to know, without six glasses of glass, there is no sangha, without glass, there is no Dharma, not only Mahayana Dharma does not, but Hinayana Dharma does not. We day and day pray for the true Dharma, if we ourselves do not endeavor to learn the Six Names,

         The third is "patience" .

 In "Kim Cang Bat Nha La La Kinh", "six degrees" is talked about a lot. In hexadecimal, "alms" speak a lot, followed by "patience". Because this may know, patience is extremely important.

 The worldly person is always the blessing of the world, the wisdom, the longevity. In the past, in addition to Buddhism, other religions, no one did not pray for these three things. These three things are all in Paramita, as long as you take the effort to study, these three are bound to be achieved. If you pray for wealth, you are bound to cultivate your generosity. If you pray for wisdom, you absolutely must practice almsgiving. If you pray for a healthy life, you must practice generously giving alms.

 What is the fearless generosity? Loving all beings. So our Buddhism is very difficult, Luong Vo De is not an ordinary person, the official appearance, he initiated the campaign of vegetarianism. Advocacy vegetarian is fearless almsgiving, very thorough, very full of fearless generosity, not harming all sentient beings. All beings are good to you, are not skeptical to you. Knowing you will definitely not harm them, they do not fear you, you achieve a healthy long life. So these are not prayers, but they have reason, they have methods, bridges such as law. This is home

Buddha often said  "Buddha Thi Trung Trung, Huu Cau Sat Suoi," There is nothing that cannot be. What morality is it? In the Buddhist Sutras, it is often said:  "All dharma from the mind of birth" , this is the principle.  "All measures from the mind of birth" , so immediately there is a bridge all.

 There are many people praying day by day, but why not? They do not understand all the dharma from the mind of birth, their vows want to pray for good, but their hearts are devoted to doing bad things, so they cannot pray. Your mind to vow to correspond. May our prayers be good, the mind is also good, so the good will immediately show up, and immediately the friendship will meet. The worldly people do not understand this teaching, want to ask for good jobs but the mind is unwholesome, so they cannot pray. Contrary to method and reasoning, so they cannot pray. If consistent with the method and the theory, certainly is the all-round bridge. Because this may know, we can not help but study hard.

 Achievements of all worldly dharmas must be patient, cannot be impulsive. The proverb has a saying:

"Unsatisfactory speed", so there must be great patience. First you have to accomplish your own virtue. The achievement of virtue is certainly not in the praise of others, not in the everyday thinking of how to make a reputation, which is false, not true. Honestly, from where? From a small animal perspective, see how small animals treat you. I feel this is a relatively reliable method. As is common in our homes, cockroaches, mosquitoes, jumping insects, where you live, they do not come to harass you, stating that you treat them equally, live in harmony. See from here, from where your mind is. You yourself are clear, others can also see it. Your mind every year compared with each year more pure. In other words, take a little less of your love every year. In your mind is pure,

 So you have to know, what is wrong with ordinary monks and nuns who are unable to accomplish it? It is sixteen words:  Self-interest, fame and benefit, five sex education six ceiling, greed and anger . These sixteen words harm us forever and after lives, we cannot achieve. Above the Buddhist scriptures say  "ten good are good friends, ten evil are injustice" . Today we get the wrong person, bring injustice into a good friend, bring a good friend into an injustice, self-interest, fame and benefit, five sensual desires, six craving, love and attachment Chia, do you still have a day to escape? Forever reincarnation in the six realms of the three realms, cannot come out. If you want to escape from the prison of the three realms, these sixteen words must be eradicated from the root, you can escape.

 Along with the coast in all people with things, decided not to coast. Depending grace happily. Being equal to all beings, getting along with each other and being fully committed to helping others, we can achieve it. Above the Buddhist scriptures say:  "All dharma attainments in rings" . There are always some spiritual practitioners who come to the end called "impatient", they have failed, they have already withdrawn, they have fallen, they cannot be patient. This word "Forbearance" is for all realms. A good level is definitely not initiated, this is patience. Prosperity does not initiate attachment, adversity does not initiate anger, even in the negative realm, the mind is kept pure and equal in oneself. So, "absolute patience" is not just about adversity.

 From past to present, spiritual practitioners have been rejected by the situation of not knowing how many people. In fact, the situation is much more scary than adversity. Monks and nuns must be on their guard every hour of every minute in the room. Why? Having good believers, having good Dharma protectors, just married to you, often come to make offerings to you, always makes you miserable. That is more frightening than injustice. Injustice, you guard against them, and this you can not defend. For you to arise the attachment is finished, you are lost. We have to learn Buddha. Buddha how to teach us? Buddha how in the business, handling, supplies? Completely using the mind of equality, purely using the mind of compassion, to decide there is no difference. But in fact, even in daily life behavior, you must have ingenious means, you must use fearlessness. If you do not understand, the Dharma you have learned is hardened in dogma. Those guardians come to help you, you are also a naive mind to them, to them in a tedious way, you do not understand human love. Dharma is active, not dry, you have to understand how to do it. This is intellectual practice.

 Those injustice are annoying, thinking of ways to sabotage you, what method do you have to deal with them? There is a rule in here. For injustice against confrontation, the decision to not have the mind of resentment, certainly should not use the mind to avenge, but to use compassionate heart to touch them. They are transient in fascination, transient in wrong, must be able to forgive them, must be able to forgive them, should not be calculated with them. If they are extremely attached, we can only give in, only avoid. Must remember: 

"Injustice should award, should not t" . In the past life of resentment with these people, in the past, did not know, now I understand the Buddha now, no longer resentment with people. Those people who come to find us annoying are in the past we did not know, have resentment with them, today they come to cause trouble is only natural reason, we should admit. Determined not to take revenge. Must resolve the resentment, must rely on patience, can not be forbidden. In "rings" you must "give in", all can give in, nothing cannot help. We must use the mind of generosity, the heart of offering, to give birth to the joyful mind.

         The fourth is "diligence".

 Pay special attention to the word "tinh". The worldly people are not bad, they are always praying for progress, especially science and technology, for long and long time, but they are not diligent. Dharma is speaking diligently. "Patience" is to shorten the practice of Dharma, "diligence" is the key to the achievement of Dharma, so "diligence" and "diligence" are purely without impurities. Today we call it   "a penetrating disciplineWhen will we learn to listen more widely? The standard in the Dharma is that you have reached the mind-clearing of awareness, your thoughts of defilement are gone, and the ceiling of disturbing emotions has passed, ignorance has also destroyed a product, at this time, you will learn much broader listening. "A subject of penetration" is cultivation, in the process of having wisdom, but taking the intention to master, using normal we write down the twenty syllables, the beginner is using sincerity, purity, equality as Master, this is "a subject of penetration"; awareness, compassion is the upper realm, Dharma Bodhisattva. If we do not have sincerity, purity, and equality but learn to listen widely, that is the Great Master Thanh Luong said in the plan to have wisdom, but taking the intention to master, using normal we write down twenty syllables, the beginner is using sincerity, purity, and equality to master, this is "a subject of penetration" ; awareness, compassion is the upper realm, Dharma Bodhisattva. If we do not have sincerity, purity, and equality but learn to listen widely, that is the Great Master Thanh Luong said in the plan to have wisdom, but taking the intention to master, using normal we write down twenty syllables, the beginner is using sincerity, purity, and equality to master, this is "a subject of penetration" ; awareness, compassion is the upper realm, Dharma Bodhisattva. If we do not have sincerity, purity, and equality but learn to listen widely, that is the Great Master Thanh Luong said  "the growth of evil , " you also compassionate compassion for beings, that is  "compassion and harm, the means of downstream" . So we have to understand what Buddha's words are to us, what words are to them. They are Bodhisattvas, we are ordinary, they are Dharma Bodhisattva, we are beginner. If you didn't make it clear then you're wrong. So, it is absolutely necessary to "a subject of penetration".

 We are one-heartedly practicing Pure Land Dharma, the first goal is "meticulous into mass". Therefore, spiritual practice cannot be without purpose, cannot be without goal. If you have no purpose, no goal, your elaborate immediately wastes, the ancients said "donation merit". What do we learn? Elaborately into blocks After reaching elaborately into block, still one subject to penetrate, towards the second goal further is "single-minded disorder." Achieving this goal is still an intensive subject, moving upwards, up to "single-mindedness," and then being able to learn a lot. Wisdom already declared, one thousand thousand enlightenment. If you do not reach this standard, you should not learn a lot, listen to a lot of sounds definitely create obstacles for you. This obstacle in the Buddha Dharma is called "knowledge of obstacles". Sincere development mind could not help but know. The elaborate use on a set of Sutras certainly has a good place.

        A fellow practitioner asked,  "The magician teaches us a penetrating discipline.

Today we specialize in "The Infinite Life Sutra", the morning Mage teaches "The Ten Great Skirmishes", should we listen? He said "Sutra on the Avatamsaka Sutra", can we hear it? ". Here I tell people, whatever I say can be heard, I should not listen to what I say. This is real, not fake. Why? What I have taught, we are a direction, a goal, to help you get enlightenment on this sutta, you to the enlightenment on this sutra there is help. Others preach why not hear? The goal of the other person is not like us, will create obstacles for you, can not help you enlightenment, whereas obstacles you enlighten. The main moral right here. By the time you are truly enlightened, anyone who talks can listen. You are not enlightened. This enlightenment is the standard in Zen Buddhism:  "The mind of enlightenment, great enlightenment". By that time, all the restrictions are not there, utterly liberated, you yourself can own. As soon as you have not reached this realm, you have appointed one teacher, only one Dharma study. This is the correct decision, this is called "diligence".

         After "diligence", there is "meditation".

 What do the words "meditation" say? The Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng speaks very well, we can easily understand: In addition to non-attachment, it is called meditation, in the mindless mind called concentration. This explanation is easy to understand. In fact, this explanation of the Great Hui Hui Nang is based on the "Sutta Kim Cang" that said. On "Kinh Kim Cang" World Religion teaches Tu Bodhi the principle of teaching sentient beings say two sentences:  "Real Prime Minister, as immovable" . "Real prime minister"  is outside non-stick,  "as motionless"   is in the mindless. Lu's words said it was from "Kinh Kim Cang".

 These two sentences are still not easy to understand, the cultural level of modern people is getting lower and lower, so we use the words of modern people to say: The outside is not fascinated, so people understand. Outside without being nourished by the fame, this six-year-old sexuality is enthralled, this is called meditation. Inside do not start self-interest, do not start the idea of ​​taking part in ignorance and anger. This way of speaking people can easily understand. Our eyes see the outer appearance, see this fancy look, look a little more; If you don't like it, watch it a little, you're fascinated. This is to say that you are attached to a general, an eye that has been attached to a form. Headphones are sound minister, anything you like to eat a little more, nothing is non-stick, general sticky tongue, nose stick general incense, six bases are general minister. If it is possible to go beyond the non-attachment, in not starting the mindfulness, this is called meditation. Meditation is not in the sitting meditation hall facing the wall.

 The Great Master Hui Nang lived in Hoang Mai for eight months, never once had he entered the meditation hall, an incense tree did not sit, he was meditated, the Five Great Patriarch Hoang Rings brought the dharma to him. Where do you practice? He was in the kitchen chopping wood, pounding rice and cultivating, not in a meditation hall. Meditation day meditation is not enlightened to anyone. Since this is possible to know, meditation must practice where? At the start of mindfulness that tu, in place of the six faculties in contact with the six ceiling that tu, really use, really austerities. The Mahayana Bodhisattva is flexible and active, we must understand, we must study right here. Even in everyday life, in dressing, confronting, handling, and receiving meditation, you will truly achieve.

 Determination to  "intellect" . This Prajna wisdom is no way to cultivate, where does wisdom come from? The wisdom from meditation that there is no "concentration" is definitely no wisdom. The worldly person brings intelligent intelligence to misunderstand that is wisdom. So, the Buddhist scriptures transmitted to China, the Venerable Venerable Masters, in the Sutras

"Luc Do" they do not translate "wisdom", they are still using "Bat Nha". Bat Nha is what we call wisdom. Why is it still preserved the original translation of the sound, not translating into "wisdom"? Fear born of misunderstanding, thinking that the intellect is intelligence, the intellect is the intellect, is not true. In Bat Nha, it is said that wisdom is from meditation. Because this may know, the Buddha called wisdom is two types. One is the world of wisdom, which is not acquired from meditation, so it is not called true wisdom. True wisdom is bound to be from the meditation, which is called true wisdom. We must make a clear distinction. We want to pray for Prajna wisdom, we cannot help but to cultivate.

 People recite the Buddha's name, we use the highly enlightened method. Of the eighty-four thousand dharma door, our method is the most vindictive, so in the "Great Concourse" it says  "mindfulness"

Buddha is the supreme master of meditation . " Eighty-four thousand dharma subjects, each of which cultivates meditation, must be understood by this. The method of meditation is not the same, the goal is exactly the same. Eighty-four thousand dharma door, dharma door, reciting Buddha's name are also in it, is the method, is the trick, in the "Three Study" this belongs to the "school world", is a goal, a direction, both are When you attain meditation, you will begin to learn the Buddha's ultimate goal is to develop wisdom, and to cultivate wisdom without meditation is not the case for meditation. The precepts are our method of cultivation, the wisdom of our Bat Nha is our goal of cultivation, we must always make it clear and make it transparent.

 How does our meditation practice? When the six senses come into contact with the six realms of consciousness, they have already started to recite the mindfulness. They must recite "Amitabha Buddha" and practice meditation. Use a Buddha verse to beat outside charm, inner afflictions also. Internal and externalities all resulted in a Buddha verse. The ancients said:  "Taking one thought neutralizes all thoughts and thoughts" . When is the most rational? "One-pointed reason", this concept does not exist, so called  "recite without reciting, not recite but recite" , in "Kinh Nghiem Nghiem" said "most not two", that is the realm of single-pointedness. This realm of money is present, intellect immediately declared, self-existing Bat Nha immediately present money. After the wisdom was declared, all things were just in contact and communicated immediately, so at this time, we could learn a lot and listen to them, without the need for an old master, "a wise teacher," and a natural mind. "The money is currently available. Shakyamuni Buddha 49 years said all Sutras, today we induct as the Tripitaka, I think at this time, at most three months, you are completely communicating, without any obstacles. Why? Intelligence declared.

 You must remember, wisdom is a decision that must go through meditation. Our meditation today is a verse of Amitabha Buddha, this is the supreme profound meditation. The meaning of "supreme supreme", you need to remember, this Buddha verse breaks our delusion, breaks our attachments, more and more practical, destroys all fascination, breaks all thoughts. Mindfulness, so you know how to use. Eyes see sharp arise, the greed, "Amitabha Buddha", take that part and take away. Greed is disturbing emotions, disturbing passages. Outside is enchanting, a sentence "Amitabha Buddha" resists fascination outside, inner afflictions are surrendered. Such recitation of Buddha is called meticulous effort. What about an ineffective worker? Amitabha Buddha still recited, but he was still fascinated, he still started to start reciting the mind, so there was no way. That is "sore throat and throat are just wasting effort" , unable to achieve. But can not achieve, but can not say there is no good, also good. What is a good place? The race of "Amitabha Buddha" planted right into A Lai Da Thuc, made a predestined future, this life can not be achieved. We all need these things to be clear and to be thorough.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.27/7/2020.
