The Three Dhamma Seal: The three hallmarks of the Dharma.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH. The Three Seals are the three marks to confirm the true teaching of the Buddha, including: Impermanence, Anatta and Nirvana. If the Dharma teaching lacks one of these three marks, it is not a true Buddhist teaching. Impermanent means constant, impermanent. Everything comes and goes, depending on cause and condition. A tree is formed when the kernel (seeds) and conditions (soil, water, etc.) are ripe. Like all phenomenal things in the universe, the tree goes through four stages of becoming - universe - decay - zero. When the causes and conditions of death ripen, the tree will be gone. That is the law of causality. Everything is impermanent, because dhammas inherently become, abide, and cease to be subject to constantly changing conditions. Everything is impermanent because impermanence means changing ... Are selfless, impermanent, insensitive to the pain of others? Selflessness The next imprint in the Three Seals of Dharma is Anatta. Because everything is impermanent, so nothing can exist forever, no one or anything has an eternal ego - the "I" today is not the "I" of yesterday; The "I" of the previous moment is not the "I" of this moment. There is no "I" before "I" is born. When "I" was born, "I" also kept changing, growing old. In the end, "I" will die and not be "I". The ego of "I" does not exist forever. "I" do not have a permanent ego, so "I" is not self. In the language of the Eighth Mind Sutra, I am emptiness, and vice versa, emptiness is me. This is the meaning of Anatta according to the spirit of Prajñā Wisdom. And this is also the core of "Form means emptiness, emptiness means rupa". Nirvana Non-attachment is the path leading to enlightenment, also known as Nirvana. Selflessness and Nirvana The third seal in the Three Seals of Dharma is Nirvana. Without understanding impermanence and egolessness, we will cling to the idea of ​​a eternal life and a permanent self, which inevitably leads to suffering when changes occur. For example, a girl will suffer when her lover no longer loves her or when he dies. In fact, clinging to anything, everything brings suffering. For example, if we are attached to the thought that life is suffering, we will despair by our negative thoughts. On the contrary, if we accept the idea that life is all pink, we will suffer when good things don't happen. To free ourselves from suffering, we need to practice non-attachment. When there is no attachment or attachment to anything, nothing can cause our mind to worry and move. The mind has no more suffering, but full of peace, joy. In short, non-attachment is the path leading to enlightenment, also known as Nirvana.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.16/4/2021.
