Precepts, Concentration, and Wisdom. The Buddha showed the way out of suffering — the cause of suffering and the path of practice. In my practice, I know only this simple path. The path out of suffering, good at the first stage: Precepts; auspicious in the middle stage: Concentration; and good at the end: Tue. If we look closely, we will see all three merged. Let's take a look at these three interrelated factors. How to practice gender? In fact, to practice precepts, we must begin with wisdom. Usually we say keep the precepts or keep the precepts first. But in order for the precepts to be fully accomplished, one must have the wisdom to understand clearly what is included in the precepts. To begin with, we must examine our bodies and our language, understand the process of cause and effect. As you observe our bodies and words to see how we cause harm, you will begin to understand, control and purify cause and effect. If you know what is unwholesome action and speech, and what is good action and speech, you already know the practice to "remove evil from good" (remove evil and do good). When you give up evil and do good, your mind will be stable and concentrated. This concentration overcomes wavering and doubt. With this still mind, you can clearly observe and see forms and sounds as they appear. By not letting your mind wander away, you will see clearly the nature of all happenings according to the truth. When this understanding is direct, wisdom will arise. At that time Morality, Concentration and Wisdom can become one. When they are ripe is the Noble Eightfold Path. When greed, hatred, and delusion appear, only the Noble Eightfold Path is capable of destroying them. Precepts, Concentration, and Wisdom must be developed to support each other. Whatever object appears in the six senses, Tao is controllable. If the Way is strong, it is possible to destroy the defilements — Greed, Aversion, Delusion. If the Way is weak, defilements will take control and kill our mind. Because we don't understand the truth of the six elements, when the six elements appear, we let them freely destroy and destroy us. Tao and defilements work side by side. The Dharma student should always be satisfied with both. Like the case of two people fighting. When the Tao is in control, the Tao will help with mindfulness. If you maintain mindfulness, the defilement will receive its share of defeat when it wants to fight again. If your diligence follows the Path, it will continue to eradicate defilements. If the Way is weak, defilements will prevail, then craving, delusion, and anxiety will arise. Suffering only arises when morality, concentration, and wisdom are weak. When suffering arises, the ability to destroy anxiety disappears. Only Gender, Only concentration and wisdom help the Dao to revive. When Virtue, Concentration, and Wisdom develop, the Way will begin to recover and work continuously to destroy the cause of suffering at all times and in all places. This battle will last until one side wins and the matter is settled. Like that! So please be patient and practice non-stop. The practice of the Way begins here and now. Suffering and Liberation or the Way is here and now. The Buddha's teachings such as precepts and wisdom are directed only at the mind. But these two factors of Path and Defilement compete to the end. Therefore, it is very difficult and heavy to use practical tools. You need to have patience, endurance and proper diligence. Then true wisdom will come by itself. Precepts, Concentration, and Wisdom create the Tao. But the Tao is not the True Dharma, not the goal. Tao is only the path leading to the goal. Like you want to go from Bangkok to Wat Pah Pong, for example. The path is essential to your journey, but your goal is the monastery, not the path. In the same way, we can say that Morality, Concentration, and Wisdom are outside the Buddha's teaching, but are the way to this truth. When you develop these three factors, the result will be the most wonderful peace. In this peace, forms and sounds no longer have the power to disturb your mind. You have nothing more to do. Therefore, the Buddha taught us to let go of all that we hold without hesitation. With that, you will understand this peace on your own and no longer have to rely on anyone else. However, do not rush to measure your progress. Just practice only. Also, if every time your mind is calm, you ask: “Is this right?” all efforts are wasted. There is no sign of real progress, like the sign, “This is the way to Wat Pah Pong.” Let go of all desires and expectations, look straight in the direction of the mind.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.26/3/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
