Living according to the Buddha's words: Life is impermanent. As each day passes quickly, our life decreases, like a fish stranded in a pond, so there is no joy in the change of mundane impermanence. Contemplation of birth, stay, change, and pass away. Let's diligently recite the Buddha's name so that when we live, our body and mind will always be at peace and when we lose this body, we will be born in the world of Amitabha Buddha. Only in this way will we not waste a short, fleeting human life in this pseudo-temporary Tathagata. In the South China Sea, there was a violent wave that pushed three large fish into the shallow water. The three fish said to each other, “We are in danger! But now, the water has not dried up, still flowing in and out, so it is necessary to return to the sea!" But unfortunately, there was just a boat blocking the waterway, so the fish could not run out freely. The first one put all his strength to get over the boat. The second one was lucky because the grass also managed to get through. Only the third child, because of his weakness, was caught by the fisherman. When the Buddha saw this, he said a verse: Today is over, my life is reduced Like a fish with little water, there is no joy! Zen masters are free when they know impermanence. Because fish live in water as their home, water ends its time of death. People rely on the root of the network, but also, the network reduces the time to spend. The network base by night and day is reduced, the body is worn down by eight sufferings; impermanent, old, sick not for the appointment. Behold, it is no fun to dry fish in water! Comment: As each day passes quickly, our life decreases, like a fish stranded in a pond, so there is no joy in the change of mundane impermanence. Yet, all our lives we only know how to run after the bait of fame and gain and the unscrupulous desires of life and then take on suffering. We are never satisfied with the present moment without knowing that that very moment is extremely precious to life. Be content with what we have. In this life, nothing lasts forever. From humans to the universe, they are all governed by the same law of impermanence. The Noble Truth is the cause of suffering. Be content with what we have. In this life, nothing lasts forever. From humans to the universe, they are all governed by the same law of impermanence. Therefore, we should not be greedy and attached to things that exist on the nature of nama and rupa, but open our arms to accept the happiness or suffering that comes to us peacefully and freely. Because fear will cling to us if we try to avoid suffering. And disappointment will come if we like to receive joy and happiness. Because the nature of life is impermanent, variable, non-permanent, temporary, borrowed from the four elements is also returned to the four elements. So, every day let's take a little time to recite the Buddha's name or meditate, to get rid of the desires of sensual pleasures and jealousy. Let's use insight to reflect on that, we will have no more sorrow or worry. We should follow the "compassionate, joyful and equanimous" behavior of the Buddha and the great bodhisattvas, knowing how to stop and not run after illusions. Because the body and mind inherently exist in relation and intimacy with each other, inseparable like fish and water. If you separate one of them, they will be destroyed. Therefore, in all actions, let us be calm to see clearly what we should or should not do, what can grow the good roots in us and benefit everyone. In short, we must know how to contemplate impermanence to live mindfully in every moment of reality. Let us diligently recite the Buddha's name so that when we live, our body and mind will always be at peace and when we lose this body, we will be reborn in the world of Amitabha Buddha. Only then will we not waste a short, ephemeral human life in this false Tathagata. I was born in the world of Amitabha Buddha. Only then will we not waste a short, ephemeral human life in this false Tathagata. I was born in the world of Amitabha Buddha. Only then will we not waste a short, ephemeral human life in this false Tathagata.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMSE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.20/1/2023.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
