Liberation means opening up the ties that bind ourselves to an adverse situation of suffering. Buddhist Nirvana is not a heavenly realm as many people think. People often think that cultivation is the essence to be free from this life, and when you die, you are transported into a beautiful world, full of pleasures, without fear of any suffering. That beautiful world is called Dewachen, or Nirvana. There is nothing more misleading. Buddhism advocates all things impermanent and non-self and therefore, never recognizes that there is an unchanging existence of a world, even though that world is the ultimate Bliss world. What is life? Is a flow of change. Because there is a change, there is a birth and death into a decay: it means that there is a birth or a decay that means time. The notion of time cannot be separated from the notion of change: if there is no change, without time, there would be no life. I try to imagine that time stops completely, everything is still, unchanging, motionless ... There is no way life can be. This dormant existence is a complete death. Assuming Nirvana was a life, then this life would not have been a happy life, because it was a life, of course it must be a line of transformation, but there was a transformation. decay, there is birth and death, there is suffering. If Nirvana is not a realm, a life, then what? In this regard, many scholars who have not finished their research, have hastily concluded that Nirvana is a destructive state, nothingness. Saying that, although they showed that Nirvana is not a realm of Bliss, but they also showed that they did not understand what Nirvana is. Bao Nirvana is destructive, nothingness, to say that Nirvana is a "state" (état) can you hear it? What is "state"? Temporarily say the situation goes. But the status of what? Is it that of a certain animal? If so, this state is always changing, because there is no fish that doesn't change. If it is cessation, nothingness, there is no state that is called the state of perversion, nothingness. So to say that Nirvana is a state is not right. The word Nirvana is inherently from the Sanskrit Nirvana, which can be translated as cessation, liberation. An explanation is needed to avoid misunderstanding. Cessation does not mean a complete annihilation of nothingness as Western scholars mistakenly believe. This cessation means the cessation of the stream of karma. Degree means to pass the stream of delusion to reach the shore of enlightenment and liberation. Buddhism advocates that the life of a sentient being is a continuous flow of cause and effect of the five aggregates. The motive of that life is desire, is desire. As for desire, and lust, there is life, and samsara, as well as the wick, the lamp is still burning. When lust ceases, the changing stream of the five aggregates will cease and cease to arise. At that time Nirvana appeared. Nirvana is the manifestation of the mysterious insightful being, or rather the incarnation of the boundless pure being of a liberating being. Nirvana has two things: Nirvana is free, and Nirvana is free. A being is liberated, but there is a life and still existence: living with that body and that situation and still being safe. , liberated, still not being shaken by things, dragged along with the momentum of fear and grief. Thus is Nirvana, no samsara, no suffering, because of the freeness of the being, the incarnation is performed: Nirvana is not a life that arises or ceases. Nirvana is the eternal immortal being of all kinds of sentient and unintentional beings, unable to use language to visualize and intellectual to conceive. However, the word Nirvana of Amitabha can manifest miraculous uses. The incarnations of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are all "dependent" manifestations of the liberating beings residing in Nibbana. In Buddhahood, there are two types of wisdom: one is Non-Distinguished Wisdom, together with the true essence as dwell, regardless of object and subject; the other is False Tri Tri, which is capable of perceiving miraculous phenomena of the permanent being, that is, the phenomenal world. Awareness like that to transform, to complete the aspiration of birth. The phenomenal world is the transformative magical world of the ontological world. But because ignorance hides, sentient beings see that world as a world of suffering, dark, for bringing their negative karma into it, or in other words, because there is a misconception. Part of the dark subjective. Wearing a pair of glasses of negative karma, sentient beings see the world of other miraculous phenomena into a world of pain and with their own negative karma, rolling around in that very "subjective" painful world. The ancient realizations once praised the watery moons as manifestations of being, because they had stripped off those ignorant glasses, and the Dharma States also taught that the blossoming of birds was a miraculous phenomenon. of the being, of the eternal "dharmakaya": The hybrid method of the hybrid version, Often self-annihilation of the general. In the spring, the flower blossoms openly, Hoang takes the title to willow upper Translation: Ancient phenomena, Nature is usually quiet. Spring to hundred of flowers to celebrate, Oanh golden willow love So the essence of phenomena which is truthful, non-arising, is Nirvana. So Nirvana is beyond the other shore, liberation, the cessation of samsara. But it is only the cessation of samsara that the subject of samsara is passive. A liberated being, with Nirvana, can comfortably live in samsara and still cannot see samsara and suffering, still has in hand a mysterious capacity, the freedom to arise, to abide freely, freedom of Nirvana. That ability, which Buddhism calls the ability to depend on degrees of grace and condition, is the ability to "be free", one of the four virtues of Nirvana: Normal, Lac, Self, and Pure Freedom is self. Here also need to explain the word Buddha. What is Buddha? Buddha is a person with the perfect ability to enlighten himself and for others. The Bodhisattvas also have that ability, but have not yet been fulfilled as the Buddha, so it can not be called "perfect enlightenment". Buddha is the most complete, best, and most worthy manifestation of an insightful being. As an emanation, an expression, the "Buddhas" are all emanations of Buddha, not necessarily Buddha. The incarnation (as the individual Sakyamuni) arises and passes away, but the dharma body, which is the Buddha, is always immortal. Just as the wave layers have up and down, there is a destructive wall, but the essence of the waves, which is water, does not rise and fall, the walls never break. So a being who becomes a Buddha means incarnates into a boundless being, completely discerning. And from that insightful being, from that Nirvana, can be completely free to manifest, to live, floating in the samsara and disappearance of the phenomenal world while still studying liberation, never being drawn to the karma like countless sentient beings. At this point, we can understand this miraculous scripture that everyone recites "Nirvana means samsara, samsara means Nirvana". Indeed, Nirvana did not exist but samsara, and it was in samsara that the Buddhas found Nirvana. To conclude this article, let us read the following profound passage in the Pham Vong sutta: "The truth of all phenomena is immortality, neither impermanence nor passage, no samsara, no nirvana. If nowhere but want to escape, even if you leave nowhere and run, you cannot escape from nowhere. But he only knows the Name of nothing but cannot distinguish the Real of nothingness. Now, someone who wants to find Nirvana, often goes back and forth in Nirvana, but does not know that it is Nirvana, only sees all suffering from samsara: he only knows the Name of Nirvana but does not know the Real of Nirvana. " Therefore, we cannot say that Nirvana is beyond samsara nor can it say that liberation means leaving the present life It is in the present that man must find Nirvana: man can still be liberated.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.23/2/2021.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.
