The Buddha contemplated the predestined relationship to the five hermits Kieu Tran Nhu .VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

Theravada Buddhism is of course the root of Buddhism. However, it is important that we understand and apply it in our lives. If you only understand the theory, do not think deeply and do not apply it in your practice, you will certainly not get the best results.

Speaking of Theravada Buddhism, we think of Shakyamuni Buddha as thinking of Buddha's personality, thinking of Buddha's actions and teachings. The Buddha's personality was so great, his work was followed by many. Therefore, the Buddha's thought made from ancient times, which has existed for a long time until today, is still believed and applied with practical benefits by mankind.

In addition to the great personality of the Buddha, the work of the Buddha and his disciples also has great value. Indeed, the Buddha tells us that he said what he did, was doing, and would do. And the things He does are living lessons for us. The Buddha's disciples also followed the path that Buddha experienced.

Therefore, when the Buddha was on earth, he touched many parts of society from kings to commoners. Typically King Tan Ba ​​Sa La is powerful, he is not easy to believe, easy to listen to others. Yet this king believed in Buddha, wholeheartedly with Buddha, made us think what kind of person Buddha was, but this king believed and respected Buddha so absolutely.

In addition to the great personality of the Buddha, the work of the Buddha and his disciples also has great value.

At the beginning of his spiritual practice, the Buddha casually abandoned the king's silk velvet life that no one in the world would dare think of, let alone dare to do. He was soaked in the sun and rain to find a way, study the religion, he was indescribable hardship until he attained enlightenment and became a Buddha, but he has not stopped. He continued his journey of opening religion, walking around the Ngu Ha region to touch people. Thinking that with the Buddha's cultivation process only in this life, not to mention the countless lives that he had experienced the Bodhisattva practice, who would not believe and respect the Buddha.

The Buddha attained enlightenment, contemplated the predestined relationship to see who was predestined to him, then he went there to practice. That is the importance of enlightened and practicing people.

Meeting someone with a predestined relationship means our thoughts and they are compatible to share it. People who are not predestined to themselves, they don't listen and are against them. Shakyamuni Buddha was a practitioner, so he looked for people he had known in his spiritual life to share, which was the Taoist Taoist Lam Phat. Previously he taught him, but Buddha knew he was still stuck with the Four Heavenly Bodies, not yet reached the peak of enlightenment. Buddha thought how to neutralize him attained Arahantship, because at that time he was born to Heaven Four. In order to do that, Buddha had to go to samadhi to go to the heavenly non-non-ideal land to speak to him. Therefore, Buddha did not think to find him immediately.

He thought he should share his spiritual experience with the five brothers Kieu Tran Nhu. Buddha immediately came from Bodh Gaya, far away from Ba La Nai citadel, but still came to Loc Uyen to meet these five people, because they had a predestined relationship with him that they used to practice the same dharma, studied together at the same monk of Uat Dau Lam. Phai, so easy to share with each other. He knew what these men were stuck with, so he came to clear, the sutra called Buddha opened up, for the mother hen just needs to tap the eggshell and the chicks can come out.

Kieu Tran Nhu witnessed the non-concept of non-concept of the land, so he entered concentration for a whole month, but he was stuck in this concentration, he could not prove A-la-drought.

The predestined relationship between husband and wife, parents and children

With five brothers Kieu Tran Nhu having thought, awake, practicing ripe, the Buddha only said a word, even seeing Buddha, they could hear and realize immediately. This idea was likened to by Nhat Lien as a bird in a cage listening to the bird singing outside, it could see the free sky outside but wanted to flap its wings and fly. 

Kieu Tran Nhu witnessed the non-concept of non-concept of the land, so he entered concentration for a whole month, but he was stuck in this concentration, he could not prove A-la-drought.

In fact, many monks often fall into this situation, so do I. In fact, when all the social things we can't deal with, we go into retreat, that is, to stay still, with no outside contact to keep mindfulness in right concentration. Then, in Right Samadhi, we are in contact with Buddha, with Bodhisattvas, and the Sangha, that is the safest world. The Mahayana sutra called Thuong Tich Quang Tinh, the absolute peaceful world of the Buddhas. Therefore, people who enter samadhi do not pay attention to the destructive tangible world, so they do not fear anger. Remaining quiet, they think of the Buddha, to the Bodhisattva, the Holy Sangha, they can see the Buddha, the Bodhisattva, and the Holy Increase.

I personally practice this dharma, I often say that I like to live with the dead, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Saints whose behavior is recorded in the sutras helps me to feel at peace.

So, if attained, dwell in an oasis of possession and our witnesses. As for cultivators who do not have possessions, the evidence is often wavered with more earthly waves.

Kieu Tran Nhu and four hermits, although living simply, but feel peaceful and happy because they live in this form. Thus, we realize that the cultivator's happiness and happiness do not have to have a lot of money, live luxuriously, and have beautiful clothes; but their peaceful mind is happiness. The five sages in Loc Uyen lived a very peaceful life, not busy with life affairs, so the Buddha turned to them to share spiritual experiences. Buddha and they have similarities to share.

And indeed as the Buddha thought, after only a short retreat, the Buddha guided them to attain La-drought. First of all, they have the correct view, that is, the conditions and conditions that cause dhammas, so they are not passive. And we do not see the cause and condition of the new dhammas to want to be like this or that, but we never want to, so we must suffer.

People misunderstand, I can correct. But seeing that the correction is not correct because they are attached, the Buddha teaches those who have hearing but cannot speak, so those who misunderstand them so they can correct themselves, they cannot correct.

If you attain La-drought, you see someone who is predestined to you, they will respect you. And adversity, they kept saying the opposite. I have a hundred good things, they don't see it, but they keep digging for a little mistake. But for those who know how to apply causal reasons, adversity or advantage is also predestined. With favorable conditions, we are gentle. As for adversity, we feel uncomfortable, we must know by ourselves that our karma remains. Have to worry about overcoming unpleasant karma, not reacting to create more hope. But still feeling uncomfortable and finding ways to cope will lead me deep into the path of struggle and sin.

Indeed, in 1963 I fell into this situation which awakened me. At that time, seeing that Buddhism was suppressed, it was natural to love Buddhism, so we had to fight. Since then countless things happen, defilements have no way out; That is the important thing that I realize my mistake.

The Buddha taught that all things in heaven and earth follow the law of becoming, staying, ceasing, and emitting. Seeing the favorable conditions is to see it in a new life, but if you want it to cease it is not possible. Not only does it not cease, eventually it destroys me, we must embrace hatred in the grave. Or a dynasty ends, if it wants to stay, it cannot be kept. We already know that conditioned dhammas are the dharma of arising and ceasing to exist. We want it or don't want it, it kills itself.

For humans, subject to the law of birth, aging, disease and death. if born you know that you are born, if you are sick you know if you are sick and if you die, you know you will die. Know that to prepare for this good life. Knowing the disease, what do we do. Know what to do and where to die. Buddhism calls life and death the great, that is, life and death is a great thing of life to worry about.

Kieu Tran Nhu, seeing things exactly, is predestined. Why does it arise, all things have causes, and then there is more conditions to have results. Seeing things exactly won't do any more wrong. Even if we do not see the exact thing that is wrong because listening to the inciting to do sin, we will receive retribution and self-suffering.

Kieu Tran Nhu saw exactly what it called a divine eye. Next is the smart atrium. Not only does he understand people through language, but he also understands the voice from the heart of the person who does not emit sound, how can people deceive the Saint.

But in fact we see two people quarreling because both want to talk but not listen. Do not hear how to understand people. Listening to solve the troubles caused by misunderstandings about me.

Kieu Tran Nhu obtained La-Han and four fellow practitioners also attained Holy results.

People misunderstand, I can correct. But seeing that the correction is not correct because they are attached, the Buddha teaches those who have hearing but cannot speak, so those who misunderstand them so they can correct themselves, they cannot correct.

Typically, the Brahmins kill their children and then bury them after the Buddha's retreat to slander the Buddha's murder. The monks cried, the Buddha told him to worry about cultivating, do not complain. Whoever does wrong, retribution comes, they have to suffer. Indeed, the evil person was finally exposed. No slander is still vindicated. And Buddha asked the Persian king to forgive this man because he was jealous, said bad words, harmed Buddha, but the harm returned to him. Forgive him for practicing.

The third supernatural power is Kieu Tran Nhu, who is forgiven. People who come to him or want to, you know in advance and know what they think, want.

In fact, I have met the Zen master Sato with this miracle. He is 600 kilometers away from me. I couldn't contact him, so I just got on the train to go to the temple to see him. When I first arrived at the temple door, there was Mr. Tri waiting to ask if I was Vietnamese. The Venerable Master wants to meet the teacher. This Zen master was a psychic, knowing that I would come and I hadn't asked, he said he wanted to ask this. He told me to open the organ to read will understand more. The Zen master has a lot of blind eyes, the Buddhist scriptures are many, but he clearly remembers what page of the Buddhist scriptures teach. Such is an enlightened practitioner. This reminds us that Buddhism is the way to practice and enlightenment, not to say.

Kieu Tran Nhu obtained La-Han and four fellow practitioners also attained Holy results. After that, the son of the eminent Da Xa came to see the Buddha and the five Saints La-Han born respectfully and wanted to practice. Buddha accepted the invitation and assigned Kieu Tran Nhu to teach this son.

Mr. Da Xa came to find his son, found that the Buddha also wanted to practice, but the Buddha was discouraged. People who deserve to be ordained can be ordained. Buddha taught that of all species only humans can be ordained as a monk. But in humans, not everyone is ordained because there is still old tribulation. Not everyone in the Buddha is ordained.

This I see clearly. Before, I had a friend determined to cultivate He sewed three robes to wait for the ordination. Can't wait forever, he was taken to the army. And after returning from the army, he also prepared the robes to leave home. But this time, he was ordained in form, but was not protected by the Buddha, not used by the Buddha, so he did not attain the precepts. So, after taking the ordination, he took his robes back to visit his hometown, half the way, he was tired, tied the boat to the tree. But when the water was high, the boat bumped into the tree to cover the boat and he fell into the river. On the shore, the bowl is lost. By the day of the liberation of the country on April 30, his family called back and he was renamed.

To a monk who is a holy-sighted monk, going for alms is destiny, meaning going into the village to guide people to live honestly. Because they see that monks eat less and dress simply, they also limit their clothing, making their lives lighter and also good for the environment.

Buddha said enough conditions to leave home. Not enough conditions to create conditions. Not enough conditions, but just leaving home will not reap the results.

The Buddha told Mr. Da Xa to practice at home to cultivate benevolent roots with the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha to bond with the Three Jewels, to worship the Three Jewels to become ordained in the future. That's why we have lay laypeople from here.

With the eminent La-Han, the Buddha taught each teacher to go one direction to teach sentient beings. That is an important point noted by Theravada Buddhism.

What is a master going one direction. The teachers are La-Han, seeing conditions and conditions. When they see their predestined relationship with any country, they will come to that country. don't have to go together. Because there is a predestined place, you can cultivate there. If there is no predestined place, it will be difficult for me to also obstruct my cultivation.

Dac Luc La-drought see profound, but not yet attained La-Han also realize a predestined place with us or not. In my opinion, when I see the situation, my mind is happy and I can live. Second, the masses love, we can also live. The third is that the local authorities accept it, let me live, it doesn't make it difficult. And the fourth important thing is whether here is beneficial for life or not. Because doing good will bless you, if you don't do it, your life is wasted. Buddha said that human life is very precious, time is very precious, but can not do any benefits, we leave life empty-handed.

If we have all these four conditions, we realize where our conditions are, our efforts to create merit and be respected in life. So we go away in peace and reincarnate to meet the person we once conceived, they will wholeheartedly cooperate to help us easily practice the Bodhisattva path.

Therefore, it is not Buddha saying that a master goes in one direction, dividing many directions to make alms easy. Because begging is predestined to practice religion, not begging.

Indeed, Ma Thang saw the predestined condition of Xa Loi Phat, so from Loc Uyen he went straight to Vuong Xa citadel to level Xa Loi Phat. At that time, Xa Loi Phat was the greatest orator, and no one could reason more than him. But listening to Ma Thang at Xa Loi Phat level made everyone surprised. For a person that no one can argue with, submitting to a person for life cannot have a voice. Xa Loi Phat argued well, always thought of arguing, so his heart was always insecure. Ma Thang always keeps Righteous thoughts and the Chief Justice, so liberating and liberating general is completely different from the good talker and always insecure because it is full of facts to say. That is also the professor's disease.

But when he met the teacher who had a peaceful liberating general, Xa Loi Phat quietly followed each step. Until Ma Thang sat under the tree of the real life tree, Xa Loi Phat came up and said that I saw him leisurely and freely, I respect. Please accept me as a disciple. Ma Thang refused, saying that he was a novice, could not guide, find his teacher to learn. The humble words of the Holy Code of Victory do remind us to ponder this lesson.

Buddha said enough conditions to leave home. Not enough conditions to create conditions. Not enough conditions, but just leaving home will not reap the results.

And when the relics of the Buddha met the Buddha, was enlightened by the Buddha, immediately attained La-Han, became the most intelligent of the Buddha's disciples.

The first stage monks who followed the Buddha included five hermits Kieu Tran Nhu, 50 Da Xa sons, 1,000 teachers of three Ca Dettas brothers and 200 non-Buddhist monks of Xa Loi Phat and Muc Kien Lien. A total of 1,250 monks are, according to the Buddha's practice, they attain Arhat, they all have information, know everything, so their lives are not harmful.

Therefore, for 12 years for the Holy Sangha, Buddha only has three rules. But from the 13 th year onwards, the congregation gradually increased the number of monks and more monks.

Magical monks are those who are not yet qualified and are ordained, and even make their own clothes to buy bowls to become monks. Because the Buddha's prestige is so great, people respect and make offerings to the Buddha and the Sangha. The Monks who wanted to be respected and made offerings were, then, freely dressed in the monastic robes.

That is why the Buddha elaborates a law on monks called the Four-part Laws to prevent rogue members from going to practice. Buddha prescribed only to be alms in the morning, when it is clear that the path of his hand, he can hold the alms bowl. And must return to the nunnery when the sun is standing, ie before 12 noon. This law is intended to restrict people who take advantage of the robes to go begging around the clock and the Buddha's law only allows one lunch and no food in the afternoon. Starting the 13th year like that, the Buddha invented 250 monks and 350 bhikkhuni precepts to discourage those who were not yet qualified to practice. This rule is specified by Theravada Buddhism.

To a monk who is a holy-sighted monk, going for alms is destiny, meaning going into the village to guide people to live honestly. Because they see that monks eat less and dress simply, they also limit their clothing, making their lives lighter and also good for the environment.

In fact, monks do not do it, but the people find that monks live frugally, inexpensively, do not exploit natural resources much, protect the living environment of humans, all species and this earth. peace. Today, the typical example of this spirit is that Bhutan is recognized as having the highest happiness index in the world. Although their material life is not high, they are spiritually rich. They try to keep natural resources, do not exploit indiscriminately, only exploit a little, enough to live, so their living environment is really good. And people's lives are not hard and hard, because they don't get into making a lot of money to enjoy materially in an insatiable way. They know how to live slowly, to live green, to live honestly, to live honestly and to improve their spiritual life, full of happiness.

We pray for the countries to understand the Buddha's words, together protect the life of all species, the life of the environment, make this planet clean and beautiful, so that our children and grandchildren can live a healthy and peaceful life. and know how to share love to all species of all worlds.

About the life and teachings of the Buddha

While civilized countries are rich in wealth, material life is too abundant, people are not happy, even psychologically suppressed so much that they have to commit suicide to end their unsatisfactory lives. Just because they always follow material passion too much, so they always feel deprived. In order to deal with the limitless ambition, civilized countries that have exploited natural resources no longer know where to stop. Yet they still see not enough, still lacking for the bottomless greedy bag. Once overexploitation of nature means the destruction of nature, it has led to serious consequences that have alarmed the world.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.1/10/2020.
