 1.  Buddha  is  Buddha

On  the facts ,  we  need to  see the  statue  as the real Buddha and  devotional  offerings . Each time  admire the  statue should be  shown and  the feast of  the Buddha. Use the  center of  the glass to show their seriously close,  feasts  and offerings to  Buddha . There is a part  of respect  they have a part  interest , with ten parts  reverence  they have ten parts benefits . Now, there are many who brought  Buddha statues  made into art items, casually furnished  haphazard . Action too is brought  Buddha statues  presentation rooms or hallways, cafeterias or tea room where, for it is the jewelry for the tea and chatting in the  living  everyday. This is true for the  Buddha  too  disrespectful, while not known to have contempt for the Buddha statue . Make up the  offerings  Buddha statues  as well as  offering  the Buddha  then the  benefits immeasurable ,  unbounded .  We  otherwise  have  glass heart  fear,  arbitrary  brought  Buddha statues  decorated in the wrong place and the place is not clean, then  sin  boundless  true recipe for. This is very important, the relationship to  go up  or down đoạ of  us . Buddhist students can not  disregard  this.

2. Understand and practice

Do not worry I do not understand, just do not worry about  practice . Learners  Buddha is  this same very sick, lip service is not lo  practice . Understand and talk a lot, but they do very little. About  ways  of understanding ,  we  have collected a lot sooner know quite deep. When  we  have understood  need to  have  confidence  and  wish  Buddhist concept , Ta-her realm to bored  students pray  for the realm  of Bliss . Always hugged  shame  and  sincere  repentance . Live behaves with humility and always mind his review, said  savings  and treasured blessings, always  practice  well  sections tu evil good , vegetarian  reporter born . But when  practice they do not right, do not bring  Buddhism  applications  practical  in  daily life every day . Therefore,  the degenerate  who say  morality  is more, people have to  practice  are few. Sports people, many sports mouth, where other people say and do too little. Consequently, many losers, the  success  is very low. Article  key importance here is  practice . People with enough  practice  , then there is sufficient  interest , not tried  to practice  it a little  interest  and no.

3. Not  understanding  but with  practice

There is an  old woman  not  knowing  much but  practice . For her, the word did not know, what he does not know. Only faith  and  wish  nianfo  bridge  reborn  Western . Day for safety silently recite a question  mark Holy  Namo  Buddha amitābha. This category was soon  boarded  the lotus  of  the Pure ,  a lifetime  achievement  unspeakable. This is the exemplary  practice  Buddhist concept  of  us .

4. Having  knowledge  without  practice

There are those  levels  of understanding  very high but refused to  practice .  However , they have an  unobstructed eloquence . Three  Tripitaka  they chant in Lau dictionary, but never  Buddhist concept  or focused  practice  practice  a practice . This more than 99% of people round always recovered. All the  effort  a lifetime  Their  vain  vain . This, the study Buddhism  Buddhist concept to  mature  consideration  again!

Looking back at old can know now,  considering  the past can know the things to come. From past  to present , there are countless examples of  success  and failure to verify for the  austerities  of  us . But the  success  is always with  honest practices ,  most Buddhist mind  not demand  fame  avaricious , trying  to practice  not  interrupted . Losers always liked dreamy  unrealistic , bridges  of understanding  , but refused to  practice , take the bridge  fame  avaricious . Blind leading the blind teacher group game  go on  without knowing evil way.  We  need to  draw  experiences  blood, lowering earnest determination . Cleverly bringing this life  force center  public use  in the  practice  of his own. Using  sophisticated  practice, his closing paragraph  bad karma , homemade blessing.  Honestly Buddhist concept  to look forward to where a game is finished  decide  this. Bring big deal  mortal  no  way  solve  the  ten thousand lives  so far , in  a lifetime  is used  method Buddhist concept ,  rely  on the power of the Buddha to  a lifetime of  achievements ,  liberating the suffering  of birth and death .

6.  Need to  personally  practice

University Professor  An Quang  says: "Buddhist students  need to  personally  practice . Who now lives much of the first attempt for the mouth is refreshing. Said that eating whole tidbit empty stomach. Rather pitiful! ". Every night you go to bed, ask yourself again: today myself  practice  is how much? When  practice  their review has  modified  how much? Absolutely must always remind yourself again. Buddhist students  if not  personally take  practice  Though talk or walk again just vain!

7.  Recitation  ie, concentration, wisdom

University Professor  Lien Tri  says: "Things in the  Tripitaka of  explanation  is nothing but the factors, the knowledge only. Recitation  enough ie, concentration, wisdom, what  should  explore  texts  that look across  the Great Organ  doing?  time through quickly, life is not  long lasting . Expects you to cultivate  pure now  is the urgency. "  University Professor Liench'ih  and a  Height Increase  a lifetime , because he is a veteran, who is the  superhero reaching  intentions . He opened the  market we  're very  clear  that  truth  can  expectancy use  and  benefit , only  practice Buddhist concept only. Also  the  method  can not have this life other  achievements , even the people here give Free  time . On the dangerous roads  of reincarnation  samsara , torso forward, look forward to seeing  the practice  pure ,  approximate  matching with even tougher to heaven!

8.  Dafa  Its life  today

Us  if really  listen to  instruction from  the metal gate  of  the Buddha , have  faith  and  wish  bridges  reborn  in the Pure  in the West;  if you can  hear what the  open market from a long line  of high rise  great faith  that  sincerely  reciting Buddha , subjects used a  penetrating , this world can immediately  use life ,  achieve  the benefits  really. If the heart  itself appears too high,  conceit  refused  to follow , even as you  study  haphazard  indiscriminate , refused to  recite the Buddha  players born  Bliss , who can say this 100% Rating is  empty ;  absolutely  no  legal achievements , there is no way to  liberation .Them to waste  a lifetime of  practice  perverted , miserable. Rather pitiful!

9. Get them to set an example

Showing at  friends  around  there who  practice  strayed  into the wrong path, even when trains enter ma,  finally  could not  save  it.  We are  a face of the  love  they feel. On the other hand  need to  use it as a mirror to command attention should  be careful  and fear. Often  reflect  and consider his sick mind like them? For others of violating human  mistake , chances are cons  ahead  of us  that  we  do not know. If you yourself do not know  amend  mistakes , difficulty  ensuring the following day  we do not fall in  case of  illness  as they are.

10. Authorization of the principles  to practice

Seeing sage think like by, saw no sage but within the province itself.  If you can  go through the pain of the bear  suffering of others, rewarding commandments mirror reminders  austerities  of  us . Review their own clever,  sincere  repentance fixes ,  we  can become more and  nice . Buddha each day on the road gradually learned more  progress . If only one way for those who  are indifferent , others considered unlucky to see  his passion  that refuses to place his quest to make the lessons  of experience ,  we  have not had a bit of  interest  really, is not you  students  learn the true Buddha.
