Buddha said: Uncontrollable speech is the cause of suffering.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH. During the practice, everyone knows that it is very difficult to keep mindfulness to purify oral karma. Chaotic talk (miscellaneous talk, small talk) is a disease that is difficult to cure but easily contagious. Buddha taught: A husband and wife living together must remember the two words 'practice' So, even though it was actively prevented and extinguished by the practitioners, if given the opportunity, gossip immediately broke out, even in the assemblies of Bhikkhu-stilts disciples of the Blessed One. Right speech or speaking like the Dharma is a fundamental practice of the Noble Eightfold Path. As long as you lose mindfulness, all discussions and speeches will manifest according to karma and fall into a mess. If you talk less, you will be wrong, if you talk more, you will be wrong, so "before you speak, you need to bend your tongue seven times" or "if you want to discuss, you should discuss the ten meritorious deeds" to not fall into the conversation. Listen to the Buddha teach about the "uselessness", "not leading to good dharma" of gossip: “Once upon a time the Buddha was in the country of Savatthi, in the Kyda forest, in the Garden of Solitude. At that time, the majority of the Bhikkhu-stilts, after finishing their life, gathered at the Universal Assembly hall, discussing together this meaning: Discussing about clothes, jewelry, eating and drinking; discuss about wars and robberies of neighboring countries; discussing alcohol, lewdness, and the five senses; discuss music and dance. There are so many useless stories that cannot be counted. Practice right speech, speak mindfully At that time, the World-Honored One, listening to the monks discussing these matters with his celestial ear, went to the Universal Assembly hall and asked the monks: - What are the teachers meeting here to discuss? At that time, the bhikkhus said to the Buddha: We gather here to discuss such useless things. The Buddha told the monks: - Stop, stop! Monks, do not discuss that. Why? Such discussions have no meaning and do not lead to good Dharma. It is not because of these discussions that one can practice the holy life; not reach the place of extinction, Nirvana; are not equal to the Samana religion. Those are the discussions of the world, not the arguments of the right way. The teachers have left the world, left home to study the way, should not think about corrupt arguments. If you want to discuss, you should discuss the ten meritorious deeds. What is ten? Being diligent and diligent; little want to know enough; have a strong mind; multicultural, can lecture people; fearless horror; full precepts; righteous achievements; intellectual achievements; liberation achievements; achievement of liberating knowledge. If you want to discuss, you should discuss these ten things. Eliminate evil karma caused by words Why? Because they pervade everything, benefit greatly, practice the holy life, reach the point of extinction, Nirvana. Today, the teachers are children of noble families, have left home to study the Way, so think about these ten things. This treatise is the commentary of the Dhamma, away from the evil path. Thus, bhikkhus, learn this! At that time, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teaching, happily obeyed." Why should cultivators avoid "secular discussions"? In fact, discussing to cultivate and improve worldly knowledge is also very good, necessary for life, but it does not lead people to good dharmas, to the holy life, to the place of extinction. This is where cultivators towards liberation, Nirvana need to pay great attention. Practitioners should talk about cultivation, not talk about life, but only "discuss the ten meritorious deeds", which is the advice of the Blessed One. Because words, thoughts and actions are always closely linked, discussing the world with countless fluctuations will make the mind polluted and heavier. Practicing right speech, speaking mindfully, avoiding gossip that is not useful for cultivation is something that cultivators need to accomplish in order to step by step towards relaxation, peace, and liberation.END=NAMO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.4/6/2021.
