Cultivator's happiness.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH. Everything done in this life from birth, growing up, then old age, death, it is clear that people are always struggling with life to enjoy all the joys of life. But when it's over, thinking back to see the things that torture us. I like two verses of Master Thong Uncle that express this idea: Karma people have problems with identity Awakening and identity torture each other. The karma of the previous life urges people to do everything, that is, the mind tortures the body, leading them to the path of sin and suffering. And when the body does it, it affects the mind again; so the body suffers, suffering. Body and mind harm each other, but when karma stops, if you can produce a good mind, you end suffering. I think material life is not needed as much as people think, just because endless greed causes people to suffer, go to prison, in hell on earth until after death. A person earns tens of thousands of dong a day, they can still live, if they want a little. The greed is too great, wants to have a lot of money, begins to think of evil as smuggling, robbery, murder, fraud ...; but they were caught once empty-handed, debt piled up and again looking for more evil jobs to solve the evil first. Just like that, evil increases, leading to a life of sin, suffering, can not be otherwise. The Buddha taught us to stop evil deeds, there will be happiness, Nirvana immediately. On the path of cultivation, performing a good deed according to the Buddha's teachings is to immediately enjoy good results, but people with negative karma have difficulty accepting the Buddha's teachings. They think that it takes a lot of money, high status, and happiness. In everyday life, many people are hated for having a lot of money, many people have to die because they want to hold a high position. The person who has the seed of Buddha heard the Buddha's teaching, absorbed this idea, the ambition to stop will have Nirvana, happiness. Where is happiness and what is happiness. The happiness of Satan, of the cultivator, is because they don't ask for anything. I think, on the path of spiritual practice, everyone can reap happiness. Eliminate desires, desires are instant happiness. Because we want people to love, but they don't love, we suffer. Wanting people to listen, but they don't listen, so they suffer. Wanting a high position, but not being able, so suffering. Wanting to stay at a luxurious house, happily dressed, but incompetent, unable to have it, so miserable ... How much suffering karma accumulates on the human body and mind comes from desire. Even wanting to be as good as wanting to build a temple is suffering. Any wish has a price to pay. The Buddha taught us to reduce desire, until all desires, Nirvana arises, in any situation there is happiness. The cultivator suppresses the desire to enter life with a pure mind, someone who is easy to love. The teachers do not plan anything, they will be welcome wherever they do not need money; But I thought I asked for money to build a pagoda. Even when I came to visit, people would stay away. Careless people have a life of self-gratification i. (Venerable Thich Tri Quang) Lust is never enough, the Noble Eightfold Sutras teach that " The desire is hard to fit." Therefore, the Buddha became enlightened, went to Deer Park, and taught the Four Noble Truths to the five brothers Kieu Tran Nhu. It is a practice to stop desiring karma. Heavy greed will appear in the eyes, gestures, actions, making the person not trusting and frightened. Monks kill the desire mind, the mind is as calm as the water of the lake, the person sees not fear, does not take precautions, but also develops the mind that wants to follow. The bird spontaneously perched on the Buddha's shoulder, because he did not have the mind to kill, the monkey elephant came to offer the fruit because his love enveloped them. The cultivator suppresses the desire to enter life with a pure mind, someone who is easy to love. The teachers do not plan anything, they will be welcome wherever they do not need money; But I thought I asked for money to build a pagoda. Even when I came to visit, people would stay away. Careless people have a life of freedom. We stop our mind at rest, the merit gathers, the blessings of our previous life will appear and begin to cultivate on the blessings we have. Everything that we can cultivate today is thanks to the benediction of the previous life, the blessing of the previous life. Great blessings are born, there are treasures full of houses like Thien Tai pupil. Small blessings, we also have a good condition to go up, so create more, don't destroy. Being human, everyone is blessed. Big blessings will do great works, small blessings will do small. From this basic we develop, do not move away from reality but want to be fast, only to fail. For cultivators, the greatest merit is a peaceful mind and a clear mind, which needs to nurture and develop these two virtuous roots. Indeed, the distinctive feature of cultivators other than ordinary people is having a peaceful mind and clear mind. Peaceful mind and lucid mind are the pinnacle of Buddhism, even in a hot and hot situation, the mind is still at peace, the mind becomes clear and can decide everything in the right way. A Japanese Zen master told me that Vietnamese Buddhism is characterized by concentration and wisdom. The essence of the monk is concentration and wisdom. Định called Tam muoi, Sanskrit word was Samadhi, in Chinese translated as Tam ma Thread, or Tam ma ge. If a monk who cannot enter samadhi cannot live in right concentration, he is just a formality. When the Buddha was in the world, of the 1,250 A-la-Han, there was only one Arahant who entered samadhi in all cases, which is false Sun A Nan. All the other Arahants enter samadhi, do not know the outside and when discharge, return to normal life, then lose the concentration. Therefore, most of them prefer to go into retreat to keep right concentration. In history recorded that when Ca Lettuce summoned 500 A-la-Han to set the sutras, all of them are in the same state of entering concentration, not saying how to set. Now, to find an A-la-Han, especially A Nan, has the ability to enter samadhi in the chaotic scene. At that time, A New Nan proved A result Na-function. Why did he not obtain Holy results, because he chose a kind of concentration to enter and still could practice. In my own experience, having any Trilogy miraculously enables us to have a wonderfully peaceful mind. I pray to the Dharma Flower of San Sha, even though I have not been Tam Tam, but my peace of mind is the money of the Three Sisters. Thinking on the path of cultivation, trying to practice peace of mind, everything happening around, we don't mind. I used this effort, just said that "Tran charming is reversible, the mind is not necessary". We consider the ceiling in this world just a virtualization game, not worth paying attention to. If you lose it, you don't notice it, but you also have to give up. To this day, I have a few things to do by trying to keep my mind at ease. A Japanese Zen master said that peace from danger can be survived, without peace inevitably must die. Especially the moment you leave this world, you must peacefully recite the Buddha's name, remember to think of Buddha to die. If we lose Right concentration, we will lose nothing, we do not know where to go. From the peaceful mind that flashed in the heart of a ray of light called wisdom; such is the union of concentration and wisdom. The A-la-Han other than Mr. A Nan is witnessing Holy results faster, because he specializes in cultivation. The first samadhi is to enter the first cessation of Cessation. If you want peace of mind, you must forget everything, so if you don't know anything, entering concentration immediately is cessation of cessation. For a while I also practiced this samadhi, letting go of all was possible into samadhi. But it is difficult to be a abbot to let go of it, because new to preparing to enter concentration, Buddhists come to visit, how to enter samadhi. Therefore, Mr. Tri Tri advises that we want to practice, the first thing, we must stop all conditions, that is, Satan has no responsibility to enter concentration, that is the first concentration everyone must have. peace of mind. Must give up to be safe. So it is important for cultivators to stop all conditions. Practicing without daring to let go, so if we cannot enter samadhi, we will not be diligent. When we are in contact, we will rise up in anger and die without knowing where. In the life of Tri Gia, he clearly saw that if at court to lecture, there was a large Buddhist temple, but he still did not accept it and he left Ngoc Tuyen to live. In the big temple is revered, but the mind is always insecure, because it is necessary to bring the insecurity of the masses into one's own mind, how can it be safe. In fact, I see that all the Buddhists who come to me have some insecurity. First we receive the insecurity of people, from the insecurity of one person to many people to put it into our heart, how can we be safe. Venerable Van Hanh said that putting the mind in place of security is safe, and putting the mind in the insecurity of society cannot be safe. To have peace of mind, first of all, the teachers have to put their mind in the mountains and forests, which means that there is no disturbance in order to be peaceful. Putting my mind on a society with all kinds of troubles such as people who make losses, relatives in prison, the sick ... Personally, I am the Head of the Buddhist Tri-Department of the city, every day I solve all kinds of troubles. No one goes to the teacher to eat. If the monks really saw this easily. Big temple, many Buddhists, busy with many things, unable to enter samadhi. So, at least we have to spend some time practicing. I usually spend 3, 4 am practicing, because at that time no one is disturbed, but also have to turn off the power of my cell phone, because if people are involved, they still call me. There must be time dedicated to practice. Years ago, I made a three-month vow not to go out of the temple for three months in seclusion. But when accepting the responsibility of the Head of the Dhamma Division, I had to go to lecture on the sutras. Buddhists invite me to my home, I don't go, even if the disciple dies, I don't go to the super. Thanks to that, I was able to be partially relieved that could keep my concentration. I practice the Fa of the Three Sisters, then go to the sermon still practice in samadhi. His Holiness teaches us to walk, stand, lie down, sit, eat, sermon, these six postures are in meditation. If the teacher attains this dharma, the Bodhisattva practice does not fall, under any circumstances, the mind is also peaceful and clear from concentration to life. The patriarch described this idea as ignoring the Dharma realm, transforming into the ceiling. If we do not let go of the Dharma realm, if we do not give up concentration, we do not get frustrated and sad. Still giving up, getting angry is angry. Many monks get angry for a long time, because they give up their concentration to the ceiling. Therefore, when entering the ceiling, you remember to keep your mind focused. In my own experience, if we lose righteousness, we get angry easily and become angry then we fail to work. The more difficult it is, the more calm it is to be calm, that is the experience of Zen master and Ly Thanh Tong. He is the king, but is the king of meditation, which means that he cultivates on the jade palace, cultivates on the battlefield, needs to meditate in order to see the correct thing, called the Dharma-flower concentration . In the Dharma Flower Sutra, there is a very good opening sentence: "Buddha said the Immeasurable Sutras finished, he entered the Immeasurable Meaning of the Three Sects" ; that is the concentration of the Immeasurable Meaning , or the concentration of Dharma flowers. Normally, we enter the cessation of cessation, or concentration of Thu Tomb, called entering the great concentration: "Dieu at the base of the monk immobilizing religion ...". As for the concentration of the Immeasurable Meaning, or the concentration of Dharma flowers , how all phenomena in heaven and earth, we see that right, but it does not affect us; it's not like we give up life to enter samadhi. Life is life, I am still me. When the Buddha entered the Immeasurable Meaning of Tam muoi, it rained the flowers of Mandala, and the Mandala was Thien flower, that was, he felt happy, cool, and wise. Personally, when I find something difficult and can't be solved, I just leave it alone, if I can't carry it, I leave it alone, because this life is too painful, too demanding, how can we save it. I had this idea, 40 years ago, Venerable Tri Tinh said a sentence that awakened me. He asked if I thought I loved sentient beings more than Buddha, more than Bodhisattvas, because at that time, he was in retreat. Saving the life of the Buddha, the Bodhisattva, but why the Buddha is not born, the Bodhisattva does not appear, can I do it? Thanks to his reminder, I discovered the reason that life despite life, I practice to try to keep a pure life, at least I can help some people. If you are deeply engaged in life, you cannot return, not only will not help life but also harm yourself. In fact, on the way of spiritual practice, some of my friends have died, been imprisoned, or have become disgraced, just because they entered life recklessly. The Venerable Tri Tinh, thanks to his non-business meditation, has lived a long life and led the Church for more than 30 years, which is a valuable thing for us to follow. I think that if in the previous period, the Venerable Master committed himself, from 1980 onwards, we would not have a virtuous leader. Thanks to him in retreat to lead the dharma boat to overcome many difficulties in the future. The Dharma flower that the Buddha entered, two kinds of heavenly flowers appear. Heaven represents blessings, for peace. Therefore, the gods cannot fear anger and fear and have nothing to fear. We practice so that the mind stands still, not angry or afraid, called the Mandala is the peaceful feeling of the flower, the mind is peaceful. And the next is the Mandala, also the heavenly flower representing the pure mind called wisdom, then we can clearly see the surface and the fruit of life, and see all three generations of cause and effect. The Dharma flower describes this idea as the French atrium As shown, life like that, other not. Buddha cannot do it for us. Buddha is a guide, we must strive to go up by ourselves. Each person has their own karma, Buddha cannot save the karma, called the three inability of the Buddha. Buddha can only transfer karma. Karma is ripe then must be accepted, there is no other way. Everyone who has to suffer in this life is suffering from karma, such as business losses, children damaged, bankruptcy, in general all human misfortunes are past causes. they did it for karma today. We can only help them by advising them to accept karma, but it is possible to create a new cause that is to attach their mind to Amitabha's unhappiness, attach the mind to non-reciting Buddha, attach the mind to the lotus, not to attach. the mind will go bankrupt again, and will be safe. Thus, from the result of insecurity, we create peace in that way, we even have to leave the body, but we must keep the mind at peace for the next life. Venerable Tri Tinh advised, I realized that for life, for society, I take it lightly, because it is the karma that cannot be saved; So I just sow the seeds of Bodhi, which is to sow peace in the hearts of sentient beings so that they can be safe. Italy is doing States strictly taught that fruit Bodhi belongs to living beings, because no living beings, the Bodhisattva can not the Supreme Enlightenment, but being without now, no negativity, the Bodhisattva cannot practice. Indeed, Guanyin Bodhisattva must come from the West through Ta-she practice, because here beings have karma, afflictions, suffering, he will manifest salvation. The gods are peaceful, so they do not listen to the dharma, do not practice, but when they finish their blessings, they will fall. In Ta-Madam, there are people who suffer, we can only develop compassion for people. The Buddha also said that he generated mind from the Abhidharma hell. In fact, we see people who are happy, fortunate enough to not go to the temple. People who are unlucky and unfortunate just go to the pagoda, develop their mind, and thanks to meeting the spiritual practitioner they advise them to keep their peace of mind, they will appear in the direction to gently settle the impasse. According to my own experience, when there is a difficult problem, I cannot solve it, I lock the job, do not do it, wait for a flash of light, that means there are guts to say, because our mind is pure through the gods they just told. Second, the Buddha's protection, the Buddha's wisdom, illuminates our hearts, making our mind light up. Third, because our mind is at peace, the mind is self-illuminating. Thus, a peaceful mind will only have the gods of dream, new Buddha's protection and wisdom to be born. If it is not so, do not make a ruckus. As for the karma of sentient beings, the Buddha and the Bodhisattva can not be saved. If we commit ourselves to death, we always have to keep our lives to practice. Mr. Hue Tu teaches the Dharma practitioner to take vows of peace, that is to reschedule another opportunity to do so.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.28/3/2021.
