Use Good Dharma to cleanse the unclean mind. Sin and evil karma exist in the mind, not outside the body, so bathing can only remove the dirt on the body, not transforming the unclean mind. If you want to get rid of your unclean mind, if you want to transform your karma, you have to start by practicing kusala. "Once, the Buddha came to Upsala, on the bank of the Nile River, and sat under a tree at the time of his enlightenment. Then after noon, there was a Buddha. Thuy Tinh Pham chi leisurely went to the Buddha's place… Then, Pham Chi said to the World-Honored One: - Hey, Gotama, go to the Da Thuy River to bathe. What will Da Thuy river get? If you go to the Da Thuy river to bathe, you will be cleansed of all evil. At that time, the World-Honored One said a chant to Pham Chi: Dieu Hao Thu Pham Chi If you enter the Da Thuy River It is a fool's game. You cannot be free of evil karma. Hao Thu, to the river, what does that river mean? Who creates unwholesome karma What good is clear water! People who are pure, not tainted People who are pure, often preach precepts People who are pure, have white karma in them are often pure in conduct. If you don't kill, Don't steal, Honestly, don't lie. Always be mindful, righteous and knowledgeable, Pham Chi learns like this. All sentient beings are at peace. Pham's home? Where is the clean stream of the house, Pham Chi, you should learn to use good dharma to clean it. What need is there for dirty water, except for dirty body. Pham Chi said to the Buddha: I also think like this. Use good dharma to clean it. Why do you need that dirty water? Pham Chi listened to the Buddha's teaching and was very happy in his heart. Immediately, he bowed to the feet of the Buddha, took refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. (The Middle A-Ham Sutra, the Defilement, Pham Chi Tinh Thuy Sutra, No. 93 [excerpt]) Pham Chi Tinh Thuy invited the Blessed One to bathe in the Da Thuy River, believing that the river's water was "a sign of purity in the world, a sign of salvation, a sign of blessings." virtue. If you go to the Da Thuy River to bathe, you will be cleansed of all evil." The Buddha frankly replied that, using water to baptize "It's a fool's game / Can't get rid of bad karma". Because sin and evil karma exist in the mind, not outside the body, bathing can only remove dirt on the body, not transforming the unclean mind. If you want to get rid of your unclean mind, if you want to transform your karma, you have to start by practicing kusala. The kusala dhammas here are upholding the five noble personalities or the five precepts of a Buddhist: not killing, not stealing, not committing adultery, not lying, and not drunk. Along with keeping the precepts is the practice of mindfulness, right wisdom or mindfulness, awareness. Thanks to mindfulness, awareness should be aware of the body and mind right now, without running after the six sense objects when facing contact objects. Right here, the door of evil karma is closed, good karma is opened. This is how to use kusala water to partially cleanse the mind of impurities. After having changed karma by practicing wholesome dhammas, the meditator continues to develop concentration and wisdom in order to remove the defilement of the mind "due to wrong views, non-dhamma, evil greed, evil dharmas, greed, impurity, due to laziness, anxiety, doubt, hatred, wealth, greed, envy, jealousy, deception, ignorance, incompetence, lack of preciousness, pride , from great pride, from arrogance, from carelessness." When the unclean mind is cleansed, the evil karma is also eliminated, the three pure karmas, the achievement of liberation.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.1/7/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
