In the sermon short,  concise,  to guide  practice  when no  international obligation  Patimokkha, Buddhas have shown  the path  to live religion,  summarized  in three short sentences is called Ovada Katha, the first song is :

"Stop doing all the evil,
achievement  of  good works ,
Keep mind  that bar  net,
It is  the teaching  of all the Buddhas."

"Sabba papassa akaranam,
kusalassa upasampadam,
sacitta pariyō dapanam,
etan buddhanasāsanam "

All the evil here means the  unwholesome  ( akusala-kamma ), known as  the evil  , do not do ( akaranam).  So what is called evil, unwholesome  karma  that Buddhas recommend that  we should  not do? These are: (1)  killing  harm harmful organisms, (2) is  theft  or  fraud  for appropriating  property , (3)  fornication , prodigal  seek  pleasure  in a  wrong  & cause  injury  misery  in family life  ; (4) speech misleading lies  and loss, (5)  saying words of  division, (6) speaking evil words  that  hurt the  soul , (7)  saying useless bullshit ; (8)  consumed  substances  delusion , takes  control of  behavior . Further (9)  non-temporal eating   -  insatiable  and  indiscriminate ; (10) Approval on  TA ,  thought so evil  by reference - Hotel- si and advocating these  acts so evil  violence. Can tell more, but self-respect belongs to 10  akusala kamma   which every  society  condemns,  criticized by wise people, making the offender  laughed  and  punished . The responsibility to do evil is  to practice the  Varitta S ī la  - precepts. [i]

Good  works  need to be  accomplished  ( Kusalassa upasampadā) , should be done, need to be committed to  serving  with enthusiasm and learning to become more  skillful  . That is  caritta S ī la , aspects of  positive  action should do, act to merit back to himself and  family ,  building  contributions &  dedication  to the  society . (1) giving up the staff, giving up the sword, living with   compassion, sympathizing with  the benefit  of  sentient beings . (2)  almsgiving and  charity, making  offerings , living with open hands and  tolerance , sharing, helping when  asked  or seeing the misery of others. (3) being  contentious  enough, content with what he has; love  and  cherish  family life  . (4) speak  the truth  with a constructive mind   and give timely suggestions   ; (5) speaking words bring unity and  harmony for the  common good; (6) speaking  meek , sweet words that are easy to hear, words that bring confidence and  strength ; (7) speaking words brings  benefits  yourself for both and for both sides. (8) Learn and  practice  the  method of  meditation &  fitness  to  health  physically  and  soul  in the morning , mind  healthy . (9)  Service , as  benefits  for  families ,  communities  and contribute to  society  according to their abilities. And (10)  Expansion of  mind  by reading and listening more, whenever possible, to share  knowledge  and  talent  of his  for the sake  of  community and  the world  in general. Here are ten  good karma  that Buddhist children should  practice  in order to have  merit  for this life and for the future.

Create merit, do merit, but do not greedy on merit, do not  wandering  too busy, every day "eat rice to carry prison and goods" and forget  the legitimate benefits   for yourself, that is  training the  mind. The third sentence of the Buddhas of the  three generations  teaches  us the  very important " Sacitta pariyō dapanam" - cleanse your mind ,  wash away  the  scum that  has  accumulated for a long  time in your  mind  . Sentient beings' consciousness is  like a gourd bag of all  the good, evil, and immortal seeds  ( seeds )   clever and  evil. This bag is carriedby  us , cuddled from one life to another, refusing to let go because it is 'mine', 'belongs to me', 'is  my ego  '. The  ideology  of evil,  harmful , craving  ignorance  of course need to be  removed  to mind  soul clean softer, but those  worries  fret  unhelpful , the  suspicion  and  fear  has become  habitual  practice used  also needs to be  clarified  and made it calm  life of  new gentle  serenity OK.

The two  methods of  meditation to calm  tranquility  and generate  insight  are Samatha & Vipassana. [ii]  Both need to be  practiced  so that the mind  is  pure  for  a  more fulfilling life of  payment  . In a  dharma talk ,  the Buddha  taught:

"- Behold, monks, I will tell you about  nothingness  and about  the path  to  nothingness . Listen.

And the monks, how is immeasurable? The Male-stilts, the end take part, the end yard, the end si. The Male-stilts, this is called  invisible .

And monks, how is  the path  to  infinity ,  points and consistency , monks, this is  the path  to  infinity . " 

By knowing how to  practice  and balance between the  goals in life  according to the teachings of the Buddhas,  we  live happily and  happily  right  in  this life , and create an honest foundation   for the next  life  if we are not  liberated . When  practice  finished complacency, the  spontaneous liberated  from  samsara  and suffering  discontent in life  to live. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.2/8/2020.
