33 comments on the Sutra of the Turning of the Dharma Wheel.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH. Most people who study and practice Buddhism know the Sutta Zhuan Falun, the first sermon the Buddha preached right after attaining enlightenment. Although only 5 brothers Kieu Tran Nhu heard, the content of the Sutra was extremely important, not because it was the first time, but because of the value of the content. Ordinary people will not be able to know all of the value of the Sutta, but fortunately, when Mr. Narada wrote the book, Buddha and Buddha, he dedicated a separate section to this sutta and made 33 comments to help us. Some Comments on Zhuan Falun 1. Buddhism is based on personal experience. Thus, Buddhism is rational, not a theory based solely on contemplation and logic . 2. The Buddha stayed away from the powerful thought systems of that time and presented a "Middle Way", entirely discovered by him and not based on anyone's arguments. 3. Buddhism is a path or Tao (magga). 4. Knowledge appropriate to reason is the key point of Buddhism . 5. Faith blind uncritical excluded, no place in the Buddhist Church. 6. Buddhism emphasizes the importance of practice, instead of focusing on beliefs and dogma. Simply believing in dogma cannot lead to liberation. 7. Rituals and sacrifices, considered important in the Vedas, have no role in Buddhism . 8. There is no Spirit so that people have to hide in fear. 9. There is no middle class between humans and Gods for people to be timid . 10. Precepts (sila), Concentration (samadhi), Wisdom (panna) are key to achieving the goal - Nirvana . 11. The foundation of Buddhism is the four Truths (Four Noble Truths) that can be verified by experience. 12. The Four Noble Truths are associated with human beings. 13. The four Truths were discovered by the Buddha himself and he found it alone, without anyone else's help. The very saying of Buddha is: "These four truths have never been heard". 14. Once the Truth, it cannot change with time. 15. The Truth of Suffering, the first truth, deals with the constituents of the self, or so-called individual, and the different stages of life. These components need to be separated, considerations detailed observations. This observation leads to true self-knowledge . 16. Understanding the first Truth (Suffering Truth) logically leads to the eradication of the cause of Suffering, the second Truth. This principle refers to the psychological attitude of an ordinary person towards the external environment. 17. The second truth (the set of truths) is related to a powerful energy that always lies dormant within each person. 18. It is the powerful spiritual energy that - craving - is the cause leading to all the unhappiness in life . 19. The Noble Truths refer indirectly to past, present and future lives. 20. Thus, the existence of a long sequence of existences was justified by the Buddha . 21. Therefore, the logic of karma, a corollary of the theory of rebirth, is, at the same time, also included . 22. The first two Truths are in the world, belonging to the world (lokiya). The third Noble Truth - the cessation of suffering - although dependent on oneself, is supramundane (lokuttara) and goes beyond moral transgression . 23. The third truth - pure self-realization - is a dharma (dhamma) that must be grasped by spiritual vision (sacchikatabba). 24. This Truth - the Truth of the End - must be realized by complete transcendence. This is not a case of rejecting outer worlds, but of giving up all inner attachment to the outer world. 25. Cessation of Truth is achieved by completely eliminating all attachments. But it must be noted that the mere destruction of that mental energy (craving) is not enough to realize Nirvana, the Third Noble Truth, because then Nirvana would mean nothingness. However, Path and Fruition must be achieved by eliminating that power because it binds beings to the world (the three realms: Desire, Form and Formless ). 26. Nirvana is not created (uppadetabba) but has to be attained (pattaba). Nirvana can be achieved in this present life. Thus, it is conceivable that although rebirth doctrine essential in Buddhism, the ultimate goal of Buddhism is terminated reborn - not depending on the future, as can be accomplished in this life money . 27. The third truth must be achieved by cultivating and developing the fourth truth. 28. In order to eradicate a powerful force (craving) it is necessary to use and develop the eight factors of effectiveness (the Eightfold Path). 29. All eight elements are mental. 30. Eight powerful and wholesome mental powers must be focused to knock out a persistent unwholesome force that lies dormant within us. 31. Absolute purity, complete freedom from all the endless processes of birth and death, a mind free from all defilements, the state of immortality (amata), are the blessings that accompany the great victory. this. 32. Is this liberation perfect or absolutely pure? The latter point of view is more relevant . 33. In each case, one question can be raised: What is perfection? What is absolute purity ? There is no single and permanent being or entity in Buddhism, but only a stream of mind that is seen as a stream of water that is always flowing. Thus, rather, we should say that the stream of mind has been purified, becoming completely pure by eliminating and eliminating all defilements. PLEASE READ THE Sutta text Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta (Sutta of Zhuan Falun) At that time I heard this: On one occasion, while the Blessed One was staying in the Reincarnation Garden 73 , in the land of Isipatana 74 , near Benares, he taught the five bhikkhus as follows: "O bhikkhus, there are two extremes (anta) that the monastic (pabbajitena) must avoid: 1.- Laziness in sensual pleasures - is lowly, vulgar, worldly, unworthy of the virtues of a sage, and useless . 2.- The earnest attachment to the ascetic practice - is painful, unworthy of the virtues of a sage, and useless. Abandoning both these extremes, the Tathagata 75 realized the "Middle Way" (Majjhima Patipada), which is the path that brings vision (cakkhu) and knowledge (nana) and leads to peace (vupasamaya) 76 , wisdom. sublime wisdom (abhinnaya) 77 , enlightenment (sambhodhaya) 78 , and nirvana . "Hey, bhikkhus, what is the Middle Way that the Tathagata has realized, the path that brings vision and knowledge and leads to peace, superior wisdom, enlightenment, and Nirvana ? That is the Noble Eightfold Path (the eight-fold path) - Right View (samma ditthi), Right Thought (samma samkappa), Right Speech (samma vaca), Right Action (samma kammanta), Right Livelihood (samma ajiva), Right Effort (samma Vayama), Right Mindfulness (samma sati), and Right Concentration (samma samadhi). This, monks, is the "Middle Way" that the Tathagata has realized." (The Buddha continued): "Now, bhikkhus, this is the Noble Truth of Suffering (dukkha-ariya-sacca, the Noble Truth of Suffering): "Birth is suffering, old age is suffering, sickness is suffering, death is suffering, living with someone you don't like is suffering, being separated from loved ones is suffering, wanting but not having is suffering, in short, clinging to the body. the five aggregates are suffering." 79 Now, bhikkhus, this is the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering (dukkha-samudaya-ariyasacca, Noble Truth of Suffering). Craving is the cause of rebirth (ponobhavika). Craving, in accordance with the heart earnestly longing, clinging to this or that (life). It is craving, clinging to sensual pleasures (kamatanha), craving clinging to existence (bhavatanha, craving for birth, attachment to the idea that all things are eternal), and craving, clinging to non-existence (vibhavatanha, attachment to the idea that after death there is nothingness ). Now, bhikkhus, this is the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering (dukkha-nirodha-ariyasacca). It is to completely shun and destroy that very craving. It is detachment, renunciation, detachment, and detachment from craving. Now, bhikkhus, this is the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering (dukkha-nirodha-gamini-patipada-ariya-sacca, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering). These are the Noble Eightfold Path: Right View, Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration. ---o0o--- -I- (1) " This is the Noble Truth of Suffering " Thus, bhikkhus, with respect to dharmas which have not been heard before, vision, knowledge, wisdom, insight wisdom, and light arise to the Tathagata.

Thus, bhikkhus, with respect to dharmas which have not been heard before, vision, knowledge, wisdom, insight wisdom, and light arise to the Tathagata. ---o0o--- -IV- (1) " This is the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering" Thus, bhikkhus, with respect to dharmas which have not been heard before, vision, knowledge, wisdom, insight wisdom, and light arise to the Tathagata. (2) "This Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering must be developed (bhavetabbam)." Thus, bhikkhus, with respect to dharmas which have not been heard before, vision, knowledge, wisdom, insight wisdom, and light arise to the Tathagata. (3) "This Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering has been developed (bhavitam)." Thus, bhikkhus, with respect to dharmas which have not been heard before, vision, knowledge, wisdom, insight wisdom, and light arise to the Tathagata. (To conclude the Dharma period, the Buddha taught): "O is the Bhikkhu, someday that knowledge absolute authenticity of the Tathagata about four law Holy Roman Emperor, in three shades and twelve methods 80 not yet completely clear, then, until then, the Tathagata did not confirm before the world of gods, Mara and Brahma, among the samanas, brahmins, gods, and humans, that the Tathagata had realized Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment (anuttaram samma-sambodhim). Until, O bhikkhus, the Tathagata's absolutely true knowledge of the four noble truths, under three shades and twelve modes, has become completely clear, only then will the Tathagata become fully clear. affirm before the world of gods, Maras and Brahmas, among the samanas, brahmins, gods, and humans, that the Tathagata has realized Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment. And then knowledge and insight arise to the Tathagata (nanadassana). The Tathagata's mind is completely liberated, firmly established, unshaken, and this is the last life, there is no other existence." 81 Thus the Buddha spoke, and the bhikkhus rejoiced and praised the Buddha's teaching. When the Buddha finished teaching the Dharma period, Kondanna's Dharma eye (Dhammacakkhu) 82 was no longer entangled in dust, free of dirt, (and he saw that) "what has been born must be destroyed." When the World-Honored One turned the wheel of Dharma, the gods on the globe cheered, "This Falun is truly wonderful! There is no recluse, brahmin, deva, Mara, or Brahma in the world that can preach it. Yes, the Blessed One transported this Falun in the Deer Park, at Isipatana, near Benares ." Hearing this, the gods in the heavens of the Four Great Heavenly Kings, Dao Loi, Da Ma, Dou Xu Da, Hoa Lac Thien, Tha Hoa Tu Ta, and the Brahmas of the Brahma realms, Brahma Purohita, and Great Brahma. , Thieu Quang Thien, Boundless Light Thien, Quang Am Thien, Thieu Tinh Thien, Immeasurable Pure Thien Transforming Pure Thien, Quang Qua Thien, No Thought Thien, Vo Phien Thien, and the Brahmas in the realm of pure purity, the realm of eternity, purity, beauty, clarity, and supremacy, also cheered in unison . It was at that moment, in that moment, that the cheers reached the scene of Brahma. Those ten thousand worlds all move, shake, and shake violently. A brilliant light shines forth, illuminating the world, much brighter than the radiance of the gods. The Buddha said: "Kondanna is indeed enlightened, Kondannna is indeed enlightened". Hence Sir Kondannna's name was Annata Kondannna.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.15/12/2021.
