The Buddha's teaching about the eight tribulations is not allowed to practice the Virtue.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

As a Buddhist disciple, practiced in the teachings of the Tathagata, sometimes we think it is normal, but in fact, being dependent on the Three Jewels is a great blessing. Because if we lack conditions, we will fall into eight cases of "not being able to listen to the dharma, not knowing how to practice".

When the World Religion preaches in life, we are in exile, in hell (1), hungry ghost (2), animal (3), or destroyed in the realm of Long Life (4), or live in border (5), or living in the center of the country that is disabled (6), or subject to wrong views (7); or when there is no Dharma (8), so I cannot hear the Dharma. Fall in eight cases that World Ton called eight victims. 

“At one time, the Buddha was in a Xa-guard, Ky-da forest, and Lone level garden. 

At that time, World Religion told the Bhikkhu-stilts: The ordinary people did not listen, did not know the weather sermon. Monks should know! There are eight times when people cannot listen to the dharma, and people cannot practice. What is eight? 

- If the Tathagata appears in life, the acting says the Dhamma is widely reached Nirvana, which is the work of the Tathagata, but this being is in hell, not hearing, not seeing. That is the first accident. 

Again, if the Tathagata appears in life, the Dhamma talks extensively, but this being in animals cannot hear or see. That is the second problem. 

- Again, when the Tathagata appears in life, the Dhamma talks extensively, but this being is in the hungry ghost, not hearing, not seeing. That is the third problem. 

- Again, when the Tathagata appears in life, acting says the Dhamma extensively, but this being in the realm of Long Life does not hear, see. That is the fourth problem. 

- Again, when the Tathagata appeared in life, acting widely speaking the Dhamma, but this being lived in the boundary, defamed Hien Thanh, creating negative karma. That is the fifth accident. 

- Again, when the Tathagata appeared in life, speaking that the Dhamma was widely reached Nirvana, but although this being lived in the center of the water, the six sense doors were incomplete, and could not distinguish the dharma. good and evil. That is the sixth problem. 

- Again, when the Tathagata appears in life, speaking that the Dhamma is widely reached Nirvana, but although this being lives in the center of the water, the six faculties are full without defects, but the mind is wrong. ; think that people do not give, who do not experience, nor do they have results of good and evil, neither this life, the next life, nor parents, life without Sa-subjects, Brahmins, etc., has achieved results A -la-drought, self proven to be peaceful. That is the seventh accident. 

- Again, when the Tathagata does not appear in life, the Tathagata does not give a sermon leading to Nirvana, although this being lives in the center of the water, the six full faculties, patience to take the dharma, high intelligence, listen to the law immediately understand, practice the right view, know there are things, have a gift, have life, have good and evil results, there is this life, the next life, in life there is Sa-Mon, Ba-la-Mon, etc. Chief witness to A-la-Han. That is the eighth problem, not to practice Pham. This Bhikkhu-stilts, that is called eight victims are not practicing Pham Hanh. 

Here, Bhikkhu! There is a weather for ascetics. What is one? That is when the Tathagata appears in life, broadly speaking the Dhamma is to Nirvana, and this person is born in the center of the water, the posture of communication, seeing things are clear, practicing right view, or discriminating. the law of good and evil, know this life, next life, life has Sa subjects, Ba-la-Mon practice witnessed A-la-Han. It is a person who practices a Dharma practice to be Nirvana. 

That is to say, we still have many blessings for our disciples. Even though The Blessed One is no longer in life, the Dharma is still circulating, the monks and nuns are still diligently cultivating. If we know how to develop right understanding, believe deeply in the cause and effect, and have confidence in those who cultivate liberation to achieve the effort to practice the Dharma, we will have the opportunity to achieve virtuous virtue, to attain Nirvana. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.30/8/2020.
