The path Shakyamuni Buddha has passed and taught us, post-graduate, persevere, persevere in that path is the transformation of body and mind, practice by yourself by thinking about what is good. , the mouth speaks good words and the body works for the good to help the savior.
Before answering this, let the teacher tell a story with profound metaphor. There was a certain monk who seemed to feel bewildered when he encountered something, just walked out from the edge of the forest when he met two friends. Seeing the monk slightly panicked, the other two asked: What is it that he feels so insecure. The Monk replied: Poison snakes, poisonous snakes.
The two friends listened and asked where are the poisonous snakes big or small? He could show us where to find poisonous snakes, then the monk showed us two friends and then left and went to the Vihara and walked step by step in righteous thoughts and awareness.
The two friends immediately went to the place where the monk pointed out, poisonous snakes were nowhere to be seen, but they saw the large, big, clear jar that blinded the eyes. These two friends seemed to be dumbfounded, just saying out loud that that little monk was incredibly stupid, the gold that he said was a poisonous snake. So they discussed together how to transfer this gold home smoothly without anyone knowing. A friend quickly said: “In the daytime, many people will see it as a disadvantage for us, well, we should let it get dark and bring it back like that to be sure as corn. I will be mindful to stay here to watch, you go home bring some wine and meat here to celebrate and then wait until dark to transfer this gold to home.
The other person immediately agrees, considering this is a good strategy and accepts at the request of the friend. At that time, the person who stayed behind was thinking: If this amount of gold belonged to me, it would be nice if I didn't have to divide it with the other person. Wait for him to come back, I will kill and take all the gold.
Unexpectedly, the friend stayed while cleaning the temple, he also got up with excessive greed, wanting to take all the gold. So he actively found a large tree, hid behind the temple and waited for Mr. Ban to come home to beat him to death. The other friend did not know that the disaster was coming to him, he was happy inside his stomach gleefully, singing while walking.
The friend who had just arrived at the temple was not happy enough, was beaten to death by a few sticks from behind. The gold amount is now in his remaining hand, he thinks that from early until now, there is no wine available here, we have a full cup of food and then go home later. Unexpectedly, there was poison in the wine and meat, and gold had not yet been obtained, it turned out to be ancient people. Two people because of excessive greed, but ended up suffering such tragic death. What a pity! Human life is too fragile, because of a bit of gold and silver, we have to bury our moral qualities in dark ignorance. In the end, the two of them were too greedy, so they died in the same place, and could not bring anything.
Lust, ignorance and delusion are considered the three greatest afflictions of a person, so we need to practice to transform into happiness and happiness right here and now.
From the initial thought, right there, we know how to master it while still in its infancy, if we can stop at that moment, nothing unfortunate happens. Over here, when two people collected their belongings, each of them half shared to live together to support the family, how good it would be. Now, because of their greed too much, they have to bring along the karma of killing people and robbers. One of them, if they still live very lightly, will also be dealt with by law from twenty years to the death penalty. In the end, gold was nowhere to be seen, only the bodies of two people buried deep in the bottom of the tomb of corruption. But we don't have to die like that, endure many lives to be killed again, if we become a human, we will receive sick retribution and premature death.
The life of that person in the future will suffer from the retribution and lack of unhappiness and poverty, because it affects the economic life of the family's family and is lost and suffers many disadvantages due to no one nurturing. If the dead is the main labor in the family, having to support his wife and children, the karmic retribution for the murderer has to suffer many lives, abandoned, wandering in poverty and misery. Furthermore, killing people means taking away one's life and destroying a person's career is broken, so the culprit's karmic retribution many generations to come is often failed.
Greed or selfishness is a bad habit that is ingrained in every sentient being, and everyone wants to hold on to their part so they do not dare to share them with others. The greedy person is always shrinking because of his own selfish mind, wanting to possess it, he exhibits indecent behavior, as in the case of the other two poor people who both lose their lives because of their excessive greed.
The above story is a practical lesson in life, fortunately it is just a drop. Money, wealth is a inanimate object that it has created by us, man because of his endless greed, he desires all kinds of things, wants to be dignified, wants to be rich with many possessions, wants to have a beautiful wife and children. good, wanting to live a long life to enjoy, all those desires are motivated by the mind of excessive greed. But we do not know that if we want to have many possessions, we must know how to give alms, make offerings or help to share when we meet unhappy people. Not allowed to steal or steal others' deception, to work diligently, to know how to save and spend in the right place. These are the causes of the present and future riches, many people do not want to sow good kernels but demand to reap good results, trying to ask how.
Because ego-clinging ignorance sees this body as real, we want things to be according to our own will, but we do not understand that all phenomena of things in this world occur according to the laws of causation and cause and effect.
When the desire is satisfied, the greed grows more and more and the pride is higher, there is one wish, ten hundred, few people will want less enough. And when there is then the fear of loss should try to find a way to save so always live in anxiety and fear. But when the desire is not satisfied, the mind is angry, defilement blames all kinds of things leading to not owning oneself, so acts of evil, scold and beat, trying to plot harm to people who do not wish bring graphics to the body. In today's world, the reason for always going to war, soldiers killing each other is due to robbery and murder. Appropriating resources to serve their people, if they cannot, try to kill and destroy in many forms, ultimately causing resentment does not end.
Because ego-clinging ignorance sees this body as real, we want things to be according to our own will, but we do not understand that all phenomena of things in this world occur according to the law of cause and effect. Having enough causes and conditions produces results, and without cause and condition, the effect cannot bloom. Currently, the majority of poor people, because of their difficulties, need to be rich, but want to buy lottery tickets, gamble and gamble in order to wish to be rich, but in the end, the poor are even poorer, because rich are not seen. the debt is more and more piled up. In the end, he was struggling to do bad things, so he fell into a broken house and led to imprisonment. The present poverty is because many generations ago did not know how to sow alms and give alms, or did not help to share when meeting people in need or in misfortune. We do not sow riches,
Our life is an endless stream of reincarnation, not death is the end, but it only changes shape according to our good and bad karma.
But why are there so many people who are in poverty, still winning the lottery and becoming rich, is it bestowed by the gods of God? According to the present law of cause and effect, one is rich because many generations ago have cultivated merit such as giving alms, or helping others in times of difficulty. The good and bad results we have sown, even though hundreds of lives are never lost, when the conditions are met, the results will be produced depending on the conditions that come sooner or later. Who, in this life, can do as you wish for less failure, due to the good cause of the past when the predestined relationship is met.
Our life is an endless stream of reincarnation, not death is the end, but it only changes shape according to our good and bad karma. This shape-shifting has been going on continuously from the past and will continue to recur in the future. Lust, ignorance and delusion are considered the three greatest afflictions of a human being, so we need to practice to transform into blissful happiness right here and now. Poison snakes only bite to death this one body.
This is indeed in response to what the ancients left behind: People died of money, birds died from food. All are disasters brought on by greed, it is lust that makes best friend become an eternal enemy. We respectfully advise everyone to reflect on their righteous reflection, to see clearly the harmful effects of greed and delusion, and try to practice in order to transform suffering, unhappiness, into happiness and happiness right here and now. hours.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.16/4/2021.
