Reciting Buddha is not calling Buddha.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH. Reciting Buddha is not calling Buddha Master An Quang took Pho Hien's vows to practice Buddha's name because according to him, if you don't practice Samantabhadra, you won't be able to make merit and won't have the conditions to be reborn. He advocates that there are three conditions for rebirth. One is a practitioner who believes in Amitabha Buddha through the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha and believes in Amitabha's Pure Land. Without such belief, it is impossible to be reborn in the Pure Land, because faith will lead the practitioner to a place where he believes with all his heart. The second very important thing is the determination to follow the Buddha's teachings to be reborn in the Pure Land; that is happiness, ie the practitioner's work. Virtue is indispensable, but the main practice is to recite the Buddha's name. However, most people mistakenly think that calling Buddha's name is reciting Buddha's name. Reciting Buddha's name is completely different from saying Buddha's name. All day long we read Namo Amitabha Buddha, calling the Buddha's name in order to be reborn will not be able to be reborn. Reincarnation of the Buddha can only be achieved. The word recitation written in Chinese characters includes the word needle and the word mind, which means that we put our mind in the present, thinking of Amitabha Buddha. The importance of reciting Buddha's name is thinking about Amitabha Buddha, thinking about his deeds and world. To think of Amitabha is to think of the master in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, to think of his process of practicing the Bodhisattva path, to think of his world. It is wrong not to think so, but to just call out the Buddha's name. The reason why he was made the leader of the world of Ultimate Bliss was because of the process of practicing the Bodhisattva path. In this spirit, we incorporate the bodhisattva path of the Dharma Flower Sutra and the Lotus Sutra into the Pure Land practice. We see his process of practicing the Bodhisattva path in the Mahayana sutras, whereby from the ancient past, he was a wheel-turning saint, a king without tricks. Amitabha as king does not make false promises, he talks little but does a lot, listens to people's requests to meet their benefits. Thinking of Amitabha, we must learn from his example to correct ourselves. Reciting Amitabha Buddha, I see him like that to become a Buddha, then we should be like that. Having thoughts that lead to actions is from faith to conduct. Amitabha Buddha listens to people's criticisms of him and changes accordingly, so he becomes a holy man and is a holy king. He does not argue, has no idea of ​​superiority or loss, fascinates people, only cares about serving people. Before becoming a Buddha, he was a king who saw more responsibilities than rights, so he was called the King of Non-Avoiding Mindfulness. When he perfected himself to the point of being respected by everyone, he became a monk. People in the world failed their exams, failed in business, became old and weak, and became monastic, ie the society did not tolerate them, they rushed to take refuge in the Buddha's shadow. Cultivators such as King Vo Avoid Niem or King Tran Nhan Tong consider worldly careers as nothing, seeing the preciousness of the new religion. Such a person should be ordained and should be trusted and respected by everyone. first Reciting Amitabha Buddha, we must think of his merits. He doesn't care about wealth and fame, giving it up easily, reciting his name, we also learn to give up like him. To recite the Buddha's name is to think so. Through the process of cultivation, he changed his name as Dharma Store Bhikkhu-stilts, that is, the Dharma storehouse of the Buddha. In the mind of Amitabha at that time was the treasure of wisdom Tathagata. Reciting Amitabha Buddha is reciting this idea, not reciting Amitabha without understanding the meaning, without learning his conduct. When Nimita Amitabha clearly saw his infinite brilliance, I read and recited the scriptures tirelessly, hoping to have wisdom like him. We disregard worldly material interests, but giving up material careers, we must have higher spiritual careers. Don't give up material things, call the Buddha's name without getting anything superstitious. Abandoning the material career to cultivate the spirit, because the material is only temporary, the spiritual career is permanent, and our morality and understanding are eternal. Giving up the fake can temporarily change a noble career, why not change it. Reciting Amitabha Buddha to give up material things and promote the spirit. The ancient Buddha Amitabha also renounced his throne to attain Unsurpassed Bodhi. Let's not listen to fools, give up material possessions and go empty-handed. Thus, reciting the Buddha's name is clearly different from calling the Buddha's name. When we recite the Buddha's name, we put effort into doing two things: Reading and chanting sutras tirelessly and without boredom, and practicing meditation like Dai Thi Chi Bodhisattva, attaining the Buddha's name and understanding the Samadhi, using wisdom to reflect. what ordinary people don't know. Amitabha Buddha knows all, but must use understanding to save life completely. Expressing this spirit, the new Master An Quang combined, brought Pho Hien with his vows to practice in the Pure Land. Studying for that is not beneficial, but using knowledge to benefit society, so Amitabha Buddha changed his name to Dharma Store Bodhisattva. Therefore, the third thing we clearly see when we recite Amitabha Buddha is learning to work. This is the third stage that combines the ten great virtues of Samantabhadra with Pure Land practice. Seeing this idea, I am deeply aware that I only need two things to study and work. Studying and working are practical human values. The more you study, the more you can do, and learning and doing are always combined. Avalokitesvara with thousand eyes and thousand hands is a special image of Vietnamese Buddhism expressing the meaning of knowing to do and following knowledge. It is good to do it with wisdom, it is dangerous to do it without knowing it. If you don't learn, it's hard to do right, if you don't learn, it's a waste. Amitabha Buddha succeeds by studying and working. He gave up his throne to become a monk to learn more and, after he finished his studies, became a Buddha, he had the conditions to do a lot of things, do it forever. Being a king is very good, only a few generations to be reminded and worshiped. Reciting Amitabha Buddha's name, we recite these three essential words, so we should prepare to build a meaningful life for ourselves. Further, we recite Amitabha Buddha image to imagine the world of Ultimate Bliss, think about how His world of Ultimate Bliss is arranged. When practicing the bodhisattva path, walking in the water, Dharma Store Bodhisattva sees the construction of all the Buddha worlds. In fact, we travel to China, America, Japan, Europe, etc... to know their civilization. Amitabha Buddha synthesizes all the civilizations of the Buddha worlds to build his Bliss, then his world must be the best. Therefore, Today, we find it strange that the world of Ultimate Bliss has trees, but why are there seven rows of trees? From the initial step of Resting the country, he expanded to Blissful, the world more beautiful without hindrance. The sutras describe seven rows of precious trees, seven nets, and seven treasured lotus ponds. Seven is a variable number. Today, we clearly understand that trees have a very good impact on human life. The whole human world is thinking about growing trees as much as possible, because trees are the filter for the earth's atmosphere to be clean. Amitabha Buddha has known for a long time to plant trees to create a healthy environment for his world of Ultimate Bliss. And Ultimate Bliss also has seven nets spread for what, we have not discovered yet. He attached innumerable beads to radiate light and combined light with sound to influence the listener to send forth the recitation of Buddha, Dharma, Get a raise. We see light and sound play an important role in modern civilized worlds. Master An Quang teaches that reciting the Buddha's name is mindfulness of awakening, which means bringing the mind to the present without thinking. We think all kinds of things are infatuation or awakening, so we make mistakes, leading to suffering and corruption. Mindfulness is right mindfulness. We have to see exactly what happens in life, always considering whether we say the right thing, think the right thing, and do the right thing. Right words, thoughts, and deeds are loved by others, and if they are wrong, they bring disaster. Reciting the Buddha's name must always be alert, considering whether we are right or not, not just reading the Buddha's name; If it is not correct, then adjust it until it is completely correct to become a Buddha. Sangha is pure, so liken a practitioner's mind to clear water. Mindfulness of the Sangha, we observe whether our mind is pure, quiet, pure or not. Try to keep your mind, don't let the love wave ripple. And when the mind is still and transparent, the Buddha's sun shines in, and our wisdom arises. Amitabha Buddha establishes the Ultimate Bliss from sound and light to create a mysterious dance for the people who come here to always adjust themselves. He did not preach the Dharma, but people purified themselves according to His position, so it was called the Pure Land. Seeing the Amitabha realm like that, reciting the Amitabha realm like that, in fact, from faith has stepped into virtue.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.25/10/2021.
