NOW NEVER SLEEP FORGET. There are many different types of karma. So what is karma? Karma is essentially "Action". And of course there are innumerable actions we perform through body, speech, and mind. Positive actions will bring about good results, while negative actions will have bad consequences. Not only bodily actions but also words and thoughts. But one thing for sure is that karma never forgets, until reincarnation has not ceased until then, there will never be a "International Labor" day off of karma. Whenever people think of karma and reincarnation, people often think of akusala karma. I do not think that is fair and satisfactory. Reincarnation and nirvana, suffering with happiness, defilement, and bliss are all relative. If there is no samsara or the suffering we are going through, how can we remember impermanence, detachment, ignorance that all these facts help us to move forward on the path. In order to move quickly and smoothly on the path of spiritual practice, we need the assistance of two things - merit and wisdom, as well as the wings of a bird, if one is lacking, diligence. Ours will go astray. We need to accumulate merit and wisdom with fervent and diligent hearts in happiness. Merit without wisdom or wisdom without merit will bring no benefit. Take for example a person who is sick, if you want to be cured, this person needs to have enough merit and wisdom. Without either merit or wisdom, the result is that the sick person will not be able to obtain the necessary cure or find the true healer to cure him, or he can entered the wrong hospital, encountered an inappropriate physician and misunderstood about the prescription given by the doctor. In the case of spiritual practice, if a person cannot meet the true teacher, lack of understanding to distinguish what is true and what is not, then he can be considered as if he was a true teacher. lack of wisdom and merit. Even if we meet the true teacher, receive the true teachings and join an assembly of true practitioners, if they do not know how to appreciate these conditions, they will start to fall instead. momentum in criticism, whining and chattering uselessly is also seen as a lack of merit and wisdom. We often say that our suffering is like all disasters, adversity, natural disasters, wars, failures and illnesses, all that is happening in our world today is the resonance of many results is caused by a lack of merit and wisdom. That is why the practice of intensively and skillfully in order to purify is extremely important and urgent. The purification in the sense of getting rid of all the sins and obstacles that had accumulated from beginningless up until now, is now appearing in the form of ripe karma. Of course, in addition to spiritual practice, we all need to actively work to prevent all negative karma, confess all the negative karma that we have created by our body, speech, will and vow never to make those mistakes again. In addition, we also need to actively participate in all practical activities to save all sentient beings, whenever we have conditions. This needs to be practiced, not spoken. For the past few years, I have been trying to find many places to look for a small plot of land in a holy place, where blessings are still intact, unaffected by bad circumstances, to be able to build a building of Kim Luan Chan Ngon Hundred Yin. With so many calamities, wars and traumatic events happening every day around us, the sooner I think it will be beneficial to build such a transformation, the better it will be. Coincidentally, when thoughts needing to quickly build up fueled my mind, at the same time last week, Someone had given the heart to donate a piece of land large enough to build the Golden Wheel, and this land is located at the foot of Swayambhunath Tower, along the path of the stupa. I'm really happy, because it makes me feel even more confident and encouraging, that our karma is not so bad and negative anyway, and we still have a chance. The only thing left now is to work together to fulfill this aspiration. I ventured to propose to Drukpa Asia to coordinate and fundraise for this project, and whether the project is fulfilled depends on our wisdom and merit. If we miss this opportunity, it is not known when we will have another favorable condition. Since so many of us have responded to fundraising for so many projects, so this time we will limit the number of participants to 108. For all those who are unable to participate for various reasons, you shouldn't feel sad either, rejoice! In the future, when this project is completed, we will always have annual dharma halls to practice together, recite the truth and purify all negative karma, whether it is special karma or karma. In many sutras it is taught that if a single proverb can be maintained with a golden wheel containing many of these truths, the result will be multiplied by the number of truths contained in that golden wheel. Our vajra seat will contain the one billion Vajrasattva truths. Each turn will result in a billion repetitions of the Hundred Yin Mantra. This will truly be a great achievement for so many of us. Everyone knows how long it will take to recite even 100,000 times of the Hundred Syllables, as all practitioners of Ngondro understand. There are countless ways to accumulate merit and wisdom. One of the most skillful means is to use purification. No need for lengthy explanations, everyone knows we have many things to purify, because we all don't know what we have accumulated in countless previous lives. Perhaps we have accumulated both good and bad karma. And none of us want to meet obstacles and all want happiness, then why don't we quickly purify all the negative karma? It can be said that Vajrayana Buddha is the Buddha who helps purify karma. He vowed that even if there was only one unwholesome sentient being left over, he would not enter Nirvana.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.20/3/2021.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.
