A. To understand, we distinguish using  italics  , a prayer,  word straight  stand  to explain throughout this experience, we have the same track the following:

Self-Sutras:

 

     I heard this, one day the Buddha was at the top of Lang Gia mountain on the South coast, there were all kinds of dignified flowers (1), then the great monks (2), and the great Bodhisattvas (3) from the Buddha realms (4) to, those great bodhisattvas are capable of self-indulgence (5), immeasurable right concentration (6), divine travelers (7).

 

EXPLAIN:

 

(1) Serious :  Formal and serious.

 

(2) Great bhikkhus: are  only bhikkhus (monks) who have ordained for more than thirty years according to the Buddha, studying and practicing full day and night, called by the word "great" because they are monks. Great, full of dignity, virtue and wisdom.

Monks:  Sanskrit, has three ideas: mendicant, ghost father, destroy evil.

1. The mendicant : The mendicant goes from house to house to beg for food, but the mendicant is not an ordinary beggar; When the bhikkhus alms, whether or not he gives food, more or less, he receives it without caring about happiness or sadness. On the way begging for alms in silence, and focusing only on the practice of mantra, meditation, contemplation, etc. The monk always keeps the dignified and majestic attitude in accordance with the law, if anything is not right with the ritual, the eyes will not see, the ears will not listen, the mouth does not speak, the body and mind do not hope.

2.  Father ghosts:  Monks always keep a dignified look, so when Thien ghost sees them, they are scared, all kinds of evil ghosts must be kept away from them; because evil always wins.

3.  Destroying evil : It is very difficult for ordinary people to break the bad habits, while the bhikkhus are those who specialize in destroying the qi practice, specialized in correcting their mistakes, correcting evil into The good, therefore, is called destructive evil.

 

(3) Bodhisattva:  Is only a Saint in Northern Buddhism, to say enough, it is «Bodhisattva-reda”, called Bodhisattva, which translates to "Enlightenment being sentient"; The word sentient means only sentient beings. The Bodhisattva is the person who has enlightened to "just doing good, not doing evil, completely taking on wrong views", so in action there is no ignorance; The Bodhisattva is a Saint of the four Holy Realms (Thanh Van, Dependent Origination, Bodhisattva, Buddha).

 

(4) Buddha-field : Buddha-  realm is a galaxy (Galaxy), like the Sa Ba realm of the Milky way, has trillions of suns, which scientists say sees 400 billion stars.

 

(5) Sufficient freedom :  Freedom is arbitrary comfort. Being self-sufficient is comfortably arbitrary enough, not constrained by anything.

 

(6) Right  Concentration : True meditation.

 

(7) Du hý magic :  Du hý is fun, magic is special transformation; Du hýmui is to transform play.

 

       In the section of the Title, Volume 1, we find at the beginning of the Sutras the following six plausible things are said:

1. The first thing is " I listen ", here Venerable Ananda is the attendant of the Buddha, who directly listens to the Buddha and narrates it in writing.

2. The second thing " Like this " is the Buddha's words for people to believe.

3. The third thing is " One day " to indicate the time to speak.

4. The fourth thing is " Buddha " is the chair of the sermon.

5. The fifth thing is " On the top of Lang Gia mountain on the South coast " is the South Indian Ocean coast is the place where the sutras are taught, where there are all kinds of dignified flowers, etc.

6. The sixth refers to the participants of the great Sangha and great Bodhisattvas from the distant Buddha realms.
