Buddhism today: a warning from righteous monks
The Buddha Dharma to this day is getting worse and worse, whirling, not knowing how many waves and waves. In the past, there were eight hundred thousand monks and nuns in the whole country. Last year there were just over seventy thousand people left. Ten people nine perverts! This means no long-term mind, no solid mind. Encountered with fierce fire, the legs are not stable. If you are a true disciple of the Buddha, you have to be firm and steadfast. First of all, learn to be polite, keep proper rules, so as not to be afraid of others criticizing your ignorant mind. Then devote yourself to serving the Buddha's ethics and precepts; Because many lives have planted good roots, so in this life to enter the Buddha's door, one should strive for the path to eliminate bad habits, not enter a place of fame and gain, and do not become slaves to the powerful. Get rid of the bad habits in your mind little by little. If that's the case, then the great practitioner will enter the physical body. That's because the mind is solid and does not change over a long period of time; Normal mind is always the most static.“Confucius is a sinner of Confucius; Monks are sinners of the Buddha." He also emphasized: "The one who destroys the Buddhadharma is the followers of Buddhism, not other sects. The one who made the Luc Kingdom perish was the Luc Kingdom, not the Qin Dynasty. The one who brought down the Qin Dynasty was the Qin Dynasty, not the Luc Kingdom."
The teachings of the Buddha are truly a practice that helps to cleanse away the "pollutions" that often borrow the doors of the body, words, and thoughts to penetrate the mind and make it dull. That practice does not need scriptures or manuals, nor rituals or anything from the outside, including gods and heavenly beings, but necessarily directly. focus and watch over what arises from the body, words, and thoughts…Be aware that Buddhist practice itself can turn into superstition if it is combined with erroneous understandings and with the desire to attain mystical powers. Indeed, such trifles often attract most of us, making us want to try them, for example, ceremonial songs, acts (shown in character). drawing and spectacular) to get people's praise, and countless other things like that…If the ceremony is organized by offering rice and cakes in front of an image of the Buddha and thinking that the "spirit" of the Buddha will enjoy them, then it is one hundred percent certain that the effect will be opposite. The opposite of what we expected (instead of developing wisdom, it's just a way of increasing our ignorance, superstition and superstition). Such an attitude that runs counter to the real goal, yet so common in Buddhist circles, is indeed downright absurd. That is why the original practice, which was beautiful and correct, has been contaminated by some people through ignorance. In short, that is what is called superstition.
We were all born in the Dharma Ending Age. Calling the "end of the Dharma" means that the Dharma has reached its final stage, is about to perish, and is also the time when "Dharma is strong, Fa is weak", "Evil triumphs over Chief Justice". So heresies abound. These heretical theories sound very reasonable at first glance, but if followed, they can lead to the extinction of the country and the extinction of humanity.
I brought this up today, even though the demons and demons didn't like to hear it, I still said it. This is the period of great calamity, great danger, "Creating a temple is not equal to creating people, creating people is not equal to creating Buddhas. I want to be a “statue” casting maker. I want to mold living buddhas, living bodhisattvas, living patriarchs. I also want to make all beings in this world turn into living Buddhas, living Bodhisattvas, and living Patriarchs! Obviously, these are not big pagodas, but temples of Tho Dia, Thanh Hoang, and family shrines. When people in small pagodas move to big pagodas, all of them can practice together, that's the way of life of a great coniferous forest. Why is it not good to be in a small temple? Because there is a lack of restraint and restraint. You don't have to be self-contemplative but: eat freely, dress freely, Walking freely, it is easy to forget about practicing the Way. Every day we only know how to act, but this habit is a fatal wound that corrupts Buddhism. I hope Buddhism takes these words to heart and doesn't continue to "cover their ears and steal bells" to deceive humanity. At present, the signs of chaos in Buddhism in the Dharma-ending Age are now extremely serious, it can be said that it is time to raise the alarm. But no one dared to stand up and call out, but everyone just stared at the scene where Buddhism was slowly going towards extinction.

Everyone is trying their best to organize the Dharma Assembly, save souls, conduct empowerments, propagate the Dharma, build pagodas, etc., without knowing anything about spreading the teachings (understanding and replicating the meaning of the Buddha's teachings), directing them to the right direction. teach sentient beings how to put an end to samsara!
Everyone should always remember that: “The basic teaching of the Buddha is education, making us all wise, having Tradition of the Fa, knowing cause and effect, cutting off evil and cultivating good; rather than focusing on building temples and shrines, complicated worship, clinging to all forms, organizing many Dharma meetings!…” The monastic lived alone in a pagoda, claiming to be a king, becoming a king. one realm. Household people due to lack of "Trach Phap Eye" should follow the Dharma protector for them, protect them back and forth, always go to hell!At the time of the Dharma, All the people lived together in a great forest of the temple, and together they used to practice the Way. However, in the Dharma-ending period, people did not like the lifestyle of the great coniferous forest. Each person has their own temple - you in your way, I in my way, making lay people become confused, confused. They saw this monk's handsome appearance, so they protected him and built his own temple for the abbot. Then, after seeing another monk who wasn't too bad, they built him another temple. Household back and forth, eventually making those who left home born greedy for fame and profit so much that they had to return to the world!
Dear knowledgeable friends, and all dear young monks and nuns! Dear Buddhists near and far!…The original source of enlightenment teachings or Buddhism follows the flow of time floating in the sea of life, up to now, there are more than 25 centuries. With that flow of time, with that ocean of infinite space and life, with countless bases of human knowledge, knowledge and identity, everyone has the right to learn, believe, and agree to follow. its own opinion. Therefore, as a wise person, one knows for sure that the source of the supreme and profound truth of Buddhism is no longer pure but has been dyed with too many colors: Politics, forces of kings - religions, forces of beliefs freedom – pagan wrong views, the power of illusions and myths. And the end of misfortune is that it falls into the power of money,
Praying, begging, fervently praying for some help from others, the Buddha's disciple is not to let himself fall into the wrong trajectory of delusional fantasy (that)" People taught that: chanting the Buddha's name 10, 15, 20 seeing death can change from cold to hot, from hard to soft... At that time, it was called rebirth... It was taught that: if someone's relative passed away In life, it is the duty of the living to invite a large gathering, to chant the Amitabha Sutra together, to call on the name of Amitabha Buddha...to continue to lead souls to be reborn in the Pure Land... Such a religious organization, outside of the Master's Van Tu Tu way (as above) certainly does not bring any practical results. Those ways of practice performed themselves, denounced the error of their organization in front of the people of the world, before the eyes of the wise.
In terms of prayer rituals, praying for peace for the owner or family of the host family to get over the accident, pray for the sinners' souls to soon be reborn in the paradise, bury the dead at no time, and celebrate the death anniversary. worshiping seven offerings, burning gold and paper money to support the spirit of the dead, praying to the dead to have good health and peace at the beginning of the year to the end of the year, if you have an illness, you don't need to take medicine, just pray to the gods for help; ...sort of ritual forms of worship, prayer, supplication, supplication... so, from the point of view of a Buddhist disciple, of true masters, it would be considered a superstition, and Those who believe in these deeds are called superstitious. For Buddhism, people who study and practice the Way, even though they are in the monastic form, but their deeds, faith, and understanding are outward looking, seeking, and trusting in the invisible people support and help... Buddhism considers them to be part of the non-Buddhist group. The soul, the right soul, the soul or the soul is the product born from the delusions and wrong views of the pagans. It comes from the original basic ignorance of Self-Clinging…
In the sutras that Mahayana Buddhism and Vietnamese Buddhism are using to learn and practice, it is in the canon of Mahayana Buddhism in China, it can be said that although they are nominally two, they are actually almost one. That is the point that I am very worried about, very concerned about the transmission, study and practice of Buddhism in the future of our Vietnamese Buddhism...Due to the lack of wisdom and power of Van Tu Tu's natural concentration, people have translated, annotated, composed, and fabricated sources of thought, wrong practice methods in the Buddha's Tripitaka, for a long time. It is assumed that it is the teaching of the Buddha. The errors and deviations of the Buddha's teachings, the methods of practicing according to the foreign wrong views in Buddhism today are countless, but we should be vigilant and use reason when listening to the Dharma. study the Dharma, to learn and understand the Dharma. Let's keep our faith, our moral energy, our virtue, and don't deviate from the Bodhi path.My knowledgeable friends! Dear young monks and nuns! Buddhists near and far! Let's go back to the Precepts - Concentration - Tue, to Van Tu Tu that the Buddha reminded! I write to wake up and wake up my decades of practice as vague as living in a dream. I hope that Vietnamese Buddhism can create for itself a united ashram with a high spirit of service to the Dharma. We sit down to discuss and discuss in a sincere way, together to review, review and analyze the scriptures that have hidden unreasonable teachings that have never been given the opportunity to pose before. I think we Buddhism should also create a "playground" to exchange reminders together to foster each other's wisdom to go to new heights, okay?
Rocky water must also wear away, the teachings of Buddhism endure with so many forces, with the harsh storms of that time, now more than 25 centuries that source of teachings has been diluted with many odors. The taste of the river of time, mixed with how much dust and impurities of space, is stained and pale in color according to the fluctuations and rhythmic changes of mankind through life.Therefore, someone who uses a little wisdom eye to see, uses each dharma eye to think, one can clearly see the Buddha's teachings that people of Buddhism use today, the vast majority of them are wrong. male gender - DIDI - TUES, wrong way to liberate Van Tu Tu that the Buddha taught for a lifetime! Cultivating Buddha without generating the wisdom to realize right/wrong for liberation and knowledge of liberation (signless/wishless/empty) is the wrong way, don't work hard in vain! Casting statues, building towers, devious practices, chanting, praying for forms, worshiping superstitions are definitely not Buddhism!.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMAN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.3/1/2022.
