Shakyamuni sermon lectures for forty-nine years, more than three hundred business talks, regal in three organs, twelve sets. The three organs are the business, legal, philosophical. All three organs are not apart of three, the wisdom. Tibetan scholarships to study. Tibetan law school graduates. Plagiarism filial scholarship. In general, the two words of cause and effect consist of all the teachings of the Buddha. All worldly, worldly, worldly, are not beyond the two words of cause and effect. Human is the cause. The result is retribution.

For example, growing rice, taking rice seeds, and then by the light, rain and rain. When the rice is ripe, it is harvested. If not causation, the decision can not result. Because of the holy sage, because they have the effect. Minh means the willow resolution. Consciousness is the meaning. Phàm phu frank fruit. Bodhisattva fear of human. Phàm phu only fear of evil, but do not know the evil from the evil. Normally, doing arbitrary, stupid things; Conspiring to enjoy the moment, forget that happiness is suffering.

Bodhisattva is not like that. Normally, the most active, guarded body and mind carefully, and always take care of the precepts, should not sow bad manners, then how come evil? The bad fruit bound, because of the bad people have planted in the past. Previously planted any nucleus, it is difficult today to escape retribution. When sensing retribution, the right to life, should not retreat fear. That is called the cause effect.

For example, the magician An The Cao old age, thanks to all religious life, should be born as the princess of An Tuc. At that time, the Prince released the year of education, ordained ordained, attained the network, know the previous life of people owed debt. The owner was in China at the time. Therefore, he sailed by boat. To Luoyang, he crossed a deserted field.Suddenly, from where to run, a teenager holding the sword, far away from him, angry, irrational. As he ran to say nothing, he swerved his sword. After his death, his consciousness is still reincarnated to be the Prince of Water Prince. At the age of maturity, he also developed a devout mind, reached the network, and learned that this life had to add another human life. The owner is still in Luoyang. So, he went through the ship again, then straight to the house that had killed him in his previous life. Arrive, he asked to spend the night.Having been served with water, he asked the owner:

- Do you recognize me?

The host replied:

- No.

- I was the monk you killed in a deserted field, that day, that month, that year.

The owner was terrified of fear, because there was no third party known. He thought that this monk must have been the ghost of ancient times, back to the claim. Therefore, he wants to run away. He said:

- Do not be afraid! I'm not a ghost to claim the network! Tomorrow, I will also be killed by others, to be born in a previous life. So I came here. Thanks to him as a witness, transfer my testament to the local governor, telling myself that I have come here to make sacrifices, not to kill my wrongdoer.

After saying this, he went to bed. The next day, he went out to the street, met a farmer, is burdening wood. As he approached him, suddenly the wood fell on the front, fell to the ground, so that the blow fell on his back, hit his head, causing him to die immediately. The farmer is led to the judicial office. The question was finished, the proclamation farmer committed suicide. The master killed his previous life, saw his advice last night is very relevant to the situation, so his narration and testament to the judges. Quan Quan heard finished, believe the cause and effect not wrong, should forgive manslaughter for farmers.When he was beaten to death, his spirit still flew back, reincarnated Prince of Water Prince.Growing up, also the monk, ie the wizard An The Cao.

Though saints, but not causal. Having grown bad people, you have to feel bad results. If you understand this meaning, then the scenes are reversed, happy, sad, happy, and all the realms of the day, all created by the ancient. In these realms, do not give birth to the hope of hate and hatred, it will naturally get rid of all, to concentrate on the direction. Habits of bad habits, ignorance, tribute to high, can not be obstruction, it is easy to enter the religion.

2 / March twelfth day.

The old people view birth and death is a big thing, so do not manage hardship, cross the river, cross the river to cross the river to learn. We are from the beginning to the present, is often obscured obscured, buried ceiling, forget the face of his face. For example, a mirror, which shines through the whole sky, but because of the dust that clings to it, can not shine.We only use the cleaning, the original self-nature, the natural display. Our minds are like that too. On the two Buddhas are not no different, no lack of redundancy. But why the Buddhas have become Buddhas, we are still ordinary people, lying in the sea of ​​birth and death? Just because our minds, are covered with ignorance of defilement, so this mind is not the same Buddha, but can not be used.

Today, we have left the family, the same as the Buddha, must try to clear the mind of nature, turn to the roots, not afraid of suffering, manipulation. The ancients suffered thousands of hard labor, attending good knowledge, just to understand themselves. At present, the Dharma is over, the religion is over, Buddhism is becoming less and more lazy, so can not cut off the line of birth and death. Nowadays, self-centered minds are similar to the Buddhas, they should develop long-term spirituality, strong minds, strong minds, shameful hearts. From morning to night, in twelve times, like sharpening like files, like scraping like wipe, effort diligently, using religious practice, do not let time pass in vain.

3 / March thirteenth.

The ancients said:

- The task of enlightenment is easy, but it is difficult to imagine exceptions.

Tao is the reason. Li is the mind. Mind, Buddha, beings, but three, but not the other; People are inherently full; Everyone will join. That mind, in the Holy is not increased, in the nature does not decrease. If one understands this mind, then the great land is not a single foot. All worldly worldly beings, mundane sages, are not real capital, why birth and death? So, say:

- The Buddha's argument is easy.

This body, although illuminated enlightened, but was masked delusions obscured, the light is not clear, so want to except hope is not easy.

Thoughts are of two types: rugged and subtle. Again, the mind has the illusion of illusion and illusion. The idea of ​​being smuggled, makes us feel painful or happy in the heavens and the human. Virtuous thought makes us capable of becoming a Buddha, the birth of birth and death, the three realms. Rude thoughts cause bad retribution, three paths of hell, hungry ghosts, animals. The subtle idea, to create a healthy work such as reciting Buddha, meditation, chanting, chanting, worship, precepts, etc. The rough idea corresponds to bad karma, ie ten evil. It starts greed, anger, delusion. Mouth lied, said weaving, speaking double tongue, said malicious words. Body of karma killing, stealing, adultery. These are the ten evil things created by the body and mind. In it, the distinction depends on the severity of the rank. Making the high priesthood of the ten evil is hell. The middle ground is devilish. Lower part is the animal. In general, for delusions of delicate or subtle delusion, all arise from one mindfulness. Ten legal world also from this concept of consciousness arises, should say that it is necessarily created by the mind.

The origin of our luminous environment, which does not carry a silk thread, and does not bother the ceiling of pollution, only reluctantly called raw deluded. When we kill, there is hope. At that time, the network has not. At present, want to exclude hope, to rely on a headline or focus on a Buddhist chant, to smash the door of the enemy; Bring illusions to subdued crude goods, ie toxic poison. The goods are considered crude, only left delusional.At the same time the same faith. Continuous honing, elaborate long-term maturity, the subtle delusions are no longer.

Knowing the illusion is not good, should eliminate them. Song, know that again committed, still start thinking, run away gas circulation. Encouraged adversity is still starting ignorance, lazy solace, seeking fame, thinking about lewd, etc. .. Although they know not good, but can not be rid. Why? Since the beginning of the infinite to now, gas pollution deep contamination, should become habit habits. As a dog loves to eat, although good food, but when listening to the smell, it still ran. This is the habit of becoming a temperament. There is a story, depicting the elimination of the delusions of the ancients.

The Dharma Master, Dai Mai Mountain, came to consult with Mao, asking:

- What is the Buddha?

Security code:

- Mind is the Buddha.

The teacher was enlightened, then went up Mount Dai Mai, am amusement hermit. Code To hear the news, said to increase the reason. The master replied:

- Ma teaches me that mind is the Buddha, so he is here to practice.

Increase security:

- Ma Ma recent teachings of Buddhism is slightly different.

- How different?

- Impulsive, non-Buddhist.

- Old man seduced a man without a single date. By virtue of non-Buddhahood, I know only the Buddha.

Rise back narrated. Security code:

- The fruit is ripe.

The actions of the Patriarchs, hit straight into the human mind, causing them to dream. We are the monk, the charge of study, not the birth and birth, the birth of deep shameful mind, the same generous mind, do not let the gas rotation.

"Suppose there is a ring of iron fire, burning fire on the head, determined not because of this suffering, but rotten mind mind."

Buddhahood Enlightenment is direct. The mind is the magic. This mind has long been full, not defective. Now want to find about self-nature, self-development, the direction of self-nature that the demand. On the contrary, even Buddha Shakyamuni, lest also help!

For twelve years, do not distinguish the net, walk and sit. Generally self-like as, do not expect, then what is the problem of birth and death? If not, then always busy, from morning to night, from birth to death, just wasting time. A hard life, without any benefit. On December 30, thirsty, well digging wells, then hand out in time; Regret it but it's too late!These are my earnest words. Hope everyone to use self-esteem.

4 / Fourteenth day of March.

Kinh Lang Nghiem said: "If the transfer of things, the same Tathagata."

Divine Divine, always moving things, not being moved, so free mind in the place where the legs like. We, because of the idea of ​​obstruction, should be turned around. For example, the tip of a grass, the east wind blows, falls westward, or the west wind blows, it falls eastward, unable to control itself. Someone busy all day busy, open-minded, no idea where the virtue;Although meticulous, which at times, not discontinuous discontinuity, often resting place of sad love, hate belly full of affliction market. The eyes see the form, earphones sound, nasal smell smell, tongue tasted delicious, touch body sense to distinguish the French. Six bases for six ceiling, no projection. Depending on the color, blue red white yellow, young people, men and women, the mind turns hysterical. At the right time, the mind is engrossed in love, first love. When neglected, the beginning of affliction, anger, resentment. Always start thinking. The place of delicacy can also use religious practice, work well. In the rough idea, re-launch the kind of evil thoughts evil; The abdomen is filled with defilements, the bad parts of all seven parts, can not be described.

Zen Master Bai Yun said,

If you move the material Tathagata

Spring warm, mountain flowers bloom

There are hands together, with the same

It's never been easy, the trio. "

Kinh Kim Cang said: "Should be the center of the mind."

Nho also has the sentence:

- Mind is not here. Close without seeing. There is a voice that is not heard. Eat without knowing the taste.

The Nho also knows that no moving objects. Do not we Buddhists do not remember suffering as birth, like fire on the head? If the body is exhausted, effort, self-training, honing in the bucket, slowly use the mind to transfer, the new elaborate piece of work.

The workman must not be in the quiet. The place is not passive, is the true elaborate.

In the first Ming Dynasty, in Dam Chau, Hunan Province, there was Mr. Huang Tzu Statue, used to make living smiths, so called ecclesiastical Tin Dynasty. At that time, Chu Hong Vo militant combat, so need more weapons. Hoang Dang Tin lit the court, on the night forged weapons non-stop weapons. One day, a monk passing by his house, he was offered food.Eat finished, monk said:

- To receive food, give nothing, but will give the owner a verse.

The Huang family immediately increased the sermon. Chapter:

- Why do not you practice?

They said:

- It is a good thing, but all day busy, how to work?

- There is a Buddhist practice, although busy, but still practice. When an iron bar beats, the master should recite the Buddha. Blow a breath, should also recite the Buddha. To recite the 'Nam Amitabha Buddha' period like that, at the time of death, will certainly be reborn Western realms Pure Land.

Huang Da Tin y according to the teachings of the monk, just beat a rod of iron, just recite the Buddha. All day smashed the tin, and all day chanting the Buddha, do not feel tired, there is also the sense of self-contempt. Effortless day to day, so slowly enter, not recite but still recite. When we are about to die, we know the time, and then from our own body, we say that we will reincarnate through the West. Time to place, arrange work assignments indoors, then wash, change clothes. Finished, he went to sit at the forge, smashed a few iron bars, and preached the verse:

Get the cut!

Long practice into steel

Neighboring thailand

I'm in the West. "

The theory finished, he immediately died. At the same time, the strange smell of flying around the house, the music in the air, far and near hear, make everyone feel.

Today, we are busy day and night, not resting time. If the practitioner like Mr. Dang Tin, in action but still efforts to cultivate, what care does not cut birth and death!

In the past, when I was in Kowu Mountain, Yunnan Province, I had a disciple who was ordained, namely, the Disciples. Tell her story to you now.

Master of Discipline, who has not been ordained, often smoked wine, enjoy beauty. Family of eight, often to Chuc Thanh Pagoda as a result. After this, the whole family are ordained.After graduation, Master removed all bad habits. Although I do not know a word, I still try to use. Sutras, morning maturity, such as Phổ Mon products, etc .. Within a few years, Thay learned memorized. All day, he grows vegetables without resting. In the evening, Buddhist ceremony chanting, not to sleep. In the increase of them, loved or jealously hate, I do not mind. He often helps them to sew clothes. Each needle, he recited a sentence 'Male Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara.' Later, he went to worship four famous mountains (Ngu Dai, Nga Mi, Pho Da, Cuu Hoa) for eight years, then returned to Yunnan. At that time, I was in charge of restoring Van The pagoda. Returning, I also practice asceticism. The heavy, hard work, large and small in the temple, Master are responsible for the burden. They all like me. At the time of dying, he brought all the clothes and things for sale, then used that money, buying food to increase them. Then, from the mass, put things neatly. In April, he brought oil, straw to the back of Thang Nhan pagoda, the lower house of Van The pagoda, to burn himself.When someone discovered, the teacher was born. Song, y ca sa on the body, though has been ash, but still like normal, without falling down. His body sat in the fire, his hand still holding the tree and the tree. People come to see, everyone is touching tears. The day I was busy, but I did not forget to practice, so I was free to go back and forth in birth and death.In the dynamic and static are used in religious practice, so new effort easily.

5 / March twenty one.

The ancient monks, noble noble noble, making spirits heavenly spirits, natural support.Therefore, morality is the most precious in the world, so there is a sentence: "High-altitude longsuit.

Devil spirit together, each species has different legal dignity. Why gods, evil spirits respect, respect the law of humanity? Miraculous virtues that do not distinguish themselves, are converging to one. Just ignorance ignorance, ignorance of foot, new ten divine precepts, six saints four saints. If you want to fall in love enlightened, to turn to the source. However, the level of enlightenment of each world is not the same. In the realm of man, there is the sense and the sense, there are also the knowledge of knowledge and knowledge. Dhamma and demon gods are the same. Although in the six species of ordinary people, but the legal world is superior to other legal world. The gods of the heavens are still passionate lust for women, forget about the practice. Heaven meditation meditation meditation meditation, forget the path of enlightenment mind. Heaven of Heaven is not lost in natural disaster, forget about the knowledge. A Tu La has many anger. Beings in the hell, hungry ghosts, animals born long suffering, causing no awareness, how to practice? The realm of miserable pleasure, but compared with other realms is easier to be enlightened, so can clear the mind of nature, sublime sublime. Devil spirits, although divine blessings are reported more or less the same, but they respect the moral and admiration of the Dharma.

Zen master Nguyen Khe, concluding in the music, has been ordained for the mountain god.In the Ministry of Transfiguration, "One day, there was a mutant, head crown wide, body belt, lead a lot of people, relax in the am, said that want to see the Great Teacher. Master asked:

- Awesome! Why do people come here?

God replied:

- Do you recognize me?

- We only use the eye that equals that of the Buddhas and all beings, why distinguish it!

- You are the mountain god, and grasp the birth of human beings in the region. Are you aware?

- I was not born, how can you kill? My body is with nothingness, with the same body. Can you destroy the void with your body? Can not be! My body is immortal. He was not able to do so, so grasping my birth and death?

God bowed respectfully:

- You are a very intelligent and righteous spirit, do not know that great teacher generous wisdom? Now I wish the Great Teacher to teach the world, I would like to get married.

- He begs the world, that is the world. Why? In addition to the mind without the precepts, why should the world?

- Listen to this, I was so ignorant, just asking the Master to ordain me to become his disciples.

Grandmaster to court, sitting upright, holding the incense stick, said:

- Today the five precepts prohibit, if he can serve, then answer that you hold. On the other hand, answer that you can not keep it.

Shen said:

- Honor teacher.

- Could you keep the sex ban?

- I still have a wife.

- That's not it! I say no sexual misconduct.

- You can keep it.

- Can you keep the bans on theft?

- I do not lack anything, why go to steal?

- Not so! Enjoy without excessive greed. Do not worship, do not propagate the sage.

- You can keep it.

- Can you keep the precepts forbidding killing?

- You are sitting in the ring, can not kill?

- not that! Should not abuse the power, kill the gentle.

- You can keep it.

- Can you keep the precepts of lying?

- Mind your body, why go lie?

- not that! Do not lie next words are consistent with the heart of heaven and earth.

- You can keep it.

- Can you keep the bans on drinking?

- You can keep it.

- Above are the precepts prohibited by Buddhism. There is a care center that carelessly holding. There is a mind of things, without thought to think. If so, then heaven and earth was founded, not pure. As the sun and the land is not old. Change day and night without moving. Rescue the natal wearing without rest. Enlightenment like that, although having a wife without a concubine. Enjoyment, without clinging. Although there is power without abuse of prestige. But do not create. Although drunk without being in a coma. If careless in all things, but many sex but not sex; Excessive greed without stealing; Abuse of power to kill people without committing the crime. Previous back against heaven and earth without hope.Dream crazy island without being drunk. That is called heartless. Mindlessness is boundless.Infinite is no mind, no Buddhas, no beings, no human, no self, then who is the world?

- Your divine nature is not comparable to Buddha.

- In the ten divine powers, he can not do five parts, and the Buddha can not do three parts.

Hearing the Spirit, he knelt and said,

- May the Master tell me.

Master asked:

- Can you make the sunrise in the west, scuba diving in the east?

- Can not.

- Can you take the land of five mountains and join the four seas?

- Can not.

- Buddha can transfer all generals do not want to be legal, but can not destroy the career.The Buddha can know the deeds of living beings and the memory of life, which can not teach the ungrateful. Buddha can be immeasurable species that can not eradicate the law of beings. That is three things that the Buddha can not do. Industry not long. The charm is also period. Dharma realms do not increase without decreasing. No one can master all dhamma.There is a law that no owner, so called legal. Voidless ownerless, also known as heartless.Nay explain the Buddha, I also do not have divine, only use heartless communication all the law.

- You are very stupid, never heard the meaning. Master of precepts, he obeyed the practice.Today, I wish to report to the merciful mercy of the Great Teacher, thus showing a little miracle.

- We contemplate the body, imperial, what to pray again?

- If the teacher allows, I will move a little god, to make the mind has been released, just mind, no heart, no faith, have faith, know the Buddha, The power of magic, no power of magic, there is no natural nature.

- Do not! Do not!

- Buddha also use the power to transmit the Dharma, why do not you? Please tell the teacher to teach.

Master reluctantly said:

- Dongying pagoda is a dense weed with no big trees; Behind the temple there is no back seat. The northern mountain has many trees. Can you move the trees north through the eastern mountain?

Shen said:

- Please network! In the middle of the night, I'll blow them away, please do not be afraid!

After saying this, the gods bowed and bowed out. Raising them in the pagoda, just take the Spirit to the door, there are many people, standing two rows long, follow the leg. General majesty majestic majesty as the king, around the body smoke smoldering smoke, clouds cluttered interlaced, on the pearl necklace rich. The god flew out of nowhere and disappeared. At night, the clouds suddenly came to congestion, heavy rain, high winds, lightning thunder, rooftops roof shake vibration, bird birds are frightened animals. Master told the masses:

- Do not be afraid! Do not be afraid God does the will.

The next morning, it was raining in the rain; All of the trees in the north were moved all the way to the east, peaking everywhere. Master said, told the disciples:

- After I die, do not tell this story to outsiders. If they knew, I would be a demon.

You see, gods are divine, but not moral people. Therefore, it should be said that "the god of the goddess". The unethical, the demon spirits, risk appetite. Ethical people, want to clear the mind of nature, will naturally touch the spirit. The ancient meditation master, practicing earthquakes, making deer deer flowers, gibbons monkey fruit offerings. Devotees of evil spirits, come to the refuge, such as Zhen Yin refuge master Quan, Refuge Pho Hien, Dong Tan Dai refuge Hoang Long, Vuong Linh Quang refuge, Therefore, the emperor of Song Dynasty Emperor Song wrote the verse praised the great virtue monks: "The most respectable people in the world, no one by the discharge of the monk. If you are a monk, you will receive the offering of heaven, as a disciple of the Blessed One, the abbess of the holy, at the golden gate, to the palace of the Prophet. Feeling left, Xuan sounded the birds chirping, echoes the magic of heaven music.Hear heard the call on the tall trees, immediately know the hot season has come, watching the blue sky, wind in the moonlight shining. Sitting meditating on a boot, warm body, even though the three waves are rising up, still rides up and down the wrong posture.Night great soldiers when listening to the name, still have to wear, refuge the right path. , Went up the road ceremony. Hear the bell, go to the main hall chanting. Everything is like, want to be. When living in heaven. At death decided to take refuge. Shelf wrote:

'Not the Buddha disciples

I belong to the Tathagata

Body wearing a hundred pieces

Mouth to eat thousands of rice bowl

Sleeping at night, fearless

Morning saw Amitabha Buddha. '

If I was like that, it was very satisfying. "

The above is the text of praise the great virtue of emperor Nhan Tong. Let us consider ourselves to be compatible with this complimenting text. If I am consistent with the above, can be revered by the spirit. If the "three waves kicked off", as when ignorance arises, can not "open the staff, launch into nothing," causing chaos both heaven and earth, it is extremely shameful. On the contrary, if the "ten great demons" are troublesome, unsuccessful, and unsuccessful, and can surrender to them, devilish spirits and celestial gods are respected.

6 / March twenty four.

Today, there are lawmakers who demanded my speech. I find this to be useless, because the Buddhist scriptures, with the teachings of the Patriarchs, so many countless. All of that teaching, you do not read to read, but just want me to say things west in the west, handed down useful outside what?

From ancient times, Buddhism in China, save a lot of business law, glossary, glossary. In the beginning, be incorporated into Tibetan. First, King Tong Taihong, the fourth reign of Khai Bao (971), sent Truong Tung Tin to Xishuang, rented the carved Tibetan abbot. In the reign of King Tong Thai Tong, the eighth year of the eighth Thai Binh Hung Dynasty (983), thirteen years later, it was carved into the 'Shu Pei Dai', known as the Northern Song Dynasty. This is a very sophisticated work thoroughly. Song, later gradually dissipated. In the end of the Song Dynasty, there were four times the Mahayana cult. In the last year of the Great Tang Dynasty, in the reign of Emperor Ly Tong, in the reign of Thieu Dinh, the fourth year (1231), at Dien Thanh Temple in Tich Sa, until the reign of Emperor Nguyen Quy Phui was completed. Is the Great Sakyamuni. The viewer of this Great Pit is very little. The two pagodas in Xi'an in Xi'an are Kaiyuan and Ngai Long, which retain the name of the Great Pit, known as the Mahayana Pitaka. The Ming Dynasty, the reign of King Khanh Lan, Dai Kinh Kinh was reprinted. In the twenty-first year of the nation (1932), the Tong Dynasty Tong Dynasty was born in Shanghai. Assembly arranged, edited in order, then actively published.First of all, the sect of the people came to the West, checked the number of books, counted all six thousand three hundred and ten books, missing more than a hundred. Therefore, the association used the Tongzi Khe, published by Tung Ba Publishing House in Beijing, to complement the Great Tribune, but not enough. The delegation entrusted me to bring the sutras at the pagoda Dang Tuyen, such as Dai Tich Kinh Kinh, Dai Bat Nha, Bao Bao, to add enough. Strangely, jewels of the Great Pit Kinh have been buried for hundreds of years, now circulated nationwide. However, there is a shortcoming that the review of the Great Tribune is very inconvenient. During the Ming Dynasty, the monk Tu Ba developed a mind which carved many classics. After the circulation of the Tripitaka, the censorship was very convenient. Recently, in Hangzhou, there are two laymen, Drilling Drilling and Qin Drilling, who saw the increase in the sale of books to the public for daily use, so they devoted their attention to buying those books. Then sent to Van Cu Mountain. At present, Van Cu Mountains have the Tripitaka, such as the Great Plains, Great Plains, and other suttas, which are very complete and easy to censor.

One is a lawful law, but not a verse where reading many classics. It is possible to view the entire Tripitaka for three years to spread the good news into the Buddha. Song, read the Great Tripitaka as horse riding on flowers. If you want to achieve true benefits, you must recite meditation. According to my opinion, the early meditator should meditate, should focus on learning the Surangama business, ie just memorize the words without comment. When studying the Sutra, then use the previous section to explain the following, or the following section explains the previous section. The business of this theory thoroughly subtle, from the phu phu to the fruit of the Buddha, from the innocent to love, the mountains and rivers of stone, four divine six, enlightened enlightenment, the law of causality. Therefore, the benefit of learning the Surangama is to understand these problems.

Ordinary people to study must have three things: One is the eyes must be subtle. Two ears must be clear. Three is the stomach must be solid. Fine eyes, that is the right Vajra eyes.See all things, must distinguish right and wrong, good and evil, righteous, holy. Eared ears, ie wind ears. Listen to what others say, and know what they belong to. The solid tumor, which is like the stomach of the Maitreya Bodhisattva. Hearing good things are bad, they are all received. Encounter grace, the pedigree of education of birth. Bring hearing to compare.If it is good, then do it, if it is bad, then modify. All things must be based on that standard.So, we have to have a solid stomach to tolerate all things, but do not blow buffalo skin to use, pretend to know this or say something.

He Quy Son said:

- Say any words related to the scriptures. What discussion, must review the ancient words.

Therefore, we must consider the scriptures to know how to practice properly, in order to gain benefits. My poetic speech is so trivial, there are no worthwhile sentences. As a child, although very interested in the classics, but only the empty words to talk. It is very embarrassing.

The story of Journey to the West or the story of Mien Lien is handed down in the world. They are the story of non-decay, market crazy island, true false, false foot. The story of Muc Lien writes that the god Moggallana became a Bodhisattva of the Earth in the Earth. This is very ambiguous. During the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang wrote the Journey to the West. The contents of this book are genuine words. Song, Journey to the West is handed down in the world completely devilish words. Venerable Baiyun at Baiyun Temple teaches the Dharma teachings, causing many of the monks to become monks. Therefore, the Taoists at Changchun did not please, so they lied under the military command, Changchun Quan Changchun Temple, and Baiyun White Cloud Temple. The Taoists write their own Journey novel to defame Buddhism. Consider carefully the Journey to the West will see their truth.The most hurtful thing was that they did not record how Xuanzang led the men through the deserts and returned to their homeland. They write that the Xuanzang wizard only save six words "Namo Amitabha Buddha". The scriptures by the translator Xuanzang, they completely ignored the mention. The people are very confident in the book Journey to the West, that makes the Journey to the West is actually buried. In order to confront the Journey to the West, the Buddhists wrote the Avatar to defame the Taoists. This book says that the priests of the oil palm have many lives, but there is still the mind of hatred killing each other. See these two books, if you do not know that the Buddhists and the masters defame each other, then the wrong answer to the leg. Therefore, when looking at secular books, it is necessary to clearly distinguish between the wrong things, right and wrong, righteousness. Bach Xa story records that Kim Son Pagoda was flooded; This is recorded in the books of the grapevine, and Buddhist books have written to. So, it is not true. At present, in Kim Son Pagoda is the French Sea, which the novel notes that it is Leifeng Tower and Peak Phi Lai.What are the baseless basics. Again, a legend holds that Cao Feng has half his disciples: Chai is one, and Trung Phong is half. In the Buddhist chapters, do these things!

If you want to have a real benefit, take a look at the books of the ancients such as Thich Thi Con Luo, Thien Lam Bao Huan, Hoang Minh Tap, Teacher Education, Surangama.

7 / Twenty-six months in March.

The Buddhist scriptures, if the discussion about the practice, is not in addition to four words: Credits, solutions, behavior, evidence. Sutra says: "Faith is the mother of all merit."

Credit is faith. In the Flower Adornment, the class attained the Bodhi Fruit, from the nirvana to the decimal.

What credit? The magic of the Tathagata; Where each language sentence is pointing straight to the heart, the nature of the Buddha. These words, true truth, can not be modified.Practitioners must use the mind, not seek outside. My heart is Buddha. Holy language news, can not hope to modify.

The prize is in every gesture, the impermanence and samsara. I myself know the flexibility of religious teachings. Throughout the source, the light of wisdom illuminates everywhere. That is called interpretation. Song, if understood but not practice, can not be successful.Therefore, the mouth must recite, the mind must think. Mind and mouth must be compatible, not contradictory. Mouth can not preserve embroidered brocade flowers, but the stomach filled with greed, anger, delusion, conceited. The empty talk, resolved no benefit.

Mind what thoughts? If you say a word, you must follow the holy. Gestures, should not go beyond the sacred sutras. To say and do, the new language and actions are not defective.Lecture to the level of heaven falls across the land, without true practice; Can not do, do not say; Do not be like stealing men, women sing.

Hanh has the alms and alms. Both inside and outside must be compatible. The two passively cut off two attachments: self and dhamma. Externally, that is, to be happy and subtle.

Evidence is truthful truth.

There are credit, but no virtue can not be attained; That's crazy. The sermon on the earth is very much like buffalo hair, but when practicing, there is no known Zen teacher or magician.They annotate several sutras such as Kim Cang, Heart Sutra, Confucian Order, or Surangama, and then brag about their nose, but the practice is no different from the secular;Tell the dish not to eat.

Place the behavioral movement, distinguish internal and external.

In practice, wisdom must be tolerated. The four postures, in four majesty, must often be strictly legal, not to commit at all. If this is the case, then it is self-beneficial. Again, the body itself can do to be able to teach people. Want human heart to appreciate, to be honest practice, do not talk much talk. Van Di Son said: "If you see my Prime Minister, until I hear my name, all sentient beings are mindful of Bodhi, forever out of the cycle of birth and death."

Your behavior if you are right can teach people. Do not let people see your unrighteous behavior that birth rotten, causing the crime to fall.

Zen master Phap Dung hid in the cave of Bac Nham, next to U The Pagoda, at Nui Dau Mountain. He was very diligent, hundreds of birds offering flowers. In the life of Trinh Quan Street, Tu To Mountain to see the meteorology, to see that there is a strange person, should try to find themselves. At the pagoda, Tu Quoc asked:

- Do you have a religious leader?

Rising them answered:

- The monk here, who is not a man!

- Who dare claiming to be a religious person?

Increase them no response. Another monk came out and said,

- About ten miles away from this place, there was a man, he found people, very lazy, not wanting to stand up or clamp his hands. Is this a spiritual leader?

So, the team immediately into the mountain, see meditation meditation teacher calm, did not turn to look back. Newspaper:

- What are you sitting here doing?

Zen master said:

- Sitting mind.

- Who is the shopkeeper, and what is the mind?

The Zen master did not respond, so he straightened up and said,

- Vien Giau, where to live?

Newspaper:

There is no footing in the west.

- Do you know Zen Master Tao?

- Why ask that?

- Admiration for a long time, looking forward to have the opportunity to celebrate worship.

- Zen Master Taoism is impotent!

- Why did you come here?

- come here to visit him. Is there a place to rest?

He pointed to the cave behind the cave and said:

- There is a small picture here.

The Zen master led the team to that competition. When looking at the tigers of wolves, the frightened look, hands up. The Zen Master asked:

- Are you still there?

The group asked again:

- What is that?

The silent teacher did not respond. Shortly after, the Buddha draws the words on the sitting court of the teacher. Seeing the Buddha's words, the teacher jumped with fear. The team asked:

- Are you still there?

Zen master did not understand, only the head of worship, the weak theory. Newspaper:

- Thousands of disciplines, converging on a square. Ha sa magic virtue, are photographers on the source of the mind. All disciplines of wisdom, divinities, are full of self, do not leave his mind. All karmic afflictions, which are unchanging. Every cause and effect is like a dream.There are no three realms to produce, no buddhas to pray; The same with the non-human, equal to the emperor; Great generosity is great, absolute cool. Such measures, he has now, is not lacking, so different from the Buddha? In addition to this, there is no other. His mind is just freedom, no need to settle down, no need to settle the mind, no greed, no greed, anxiety; Buttocks are immeasurable, uncontrollable, arbitrary, not do good, do not create evil; Walking, sitting, eyes meet charm, are the magic of the Tathagata; Peace is not sad, call it Buddha.

The Zen master asked:

- Mind is full, so what is Buddha, what is mind?

Father replies:

- Do not mind, do not ask the Buddha. Asking the Buddha can not be mindless.

- If you do not need virtue, then when the heart start, how to counter?

- The scene is not good bad. Good bad is caused by the mind. Mind if not run by the fame, then hope that where start! At the beginning of love, the heart to wear the feeling of knowing everywhere. The mind depends on the time itself, no need to treat, so-called dharmma often, not change strange. We received the teachings of the great teacher Sang Xan, now bless him. Please listen carefully to my words. You should only stay at this mountain. Next month there will be five successors to come here in succession to him.

French monk Dung Ngu Dau, when not yet found the Four Patriarchs, hundreds of birds offering flowers. After the Master meets the Patriarch, the bird does not come to offer. How is this? Buddhist world can not think. Heavenly people scatter flowers without trace. Devil spirits find signs that do not see the gate. If birth and death are not, then can not be so.Sitting on a dried pebble tree that sleeps, it is not suited to Buddhism, it is a waste of effort.

We are different from the ancients, always longing for the gods offerings. But they look, because I do not practice honest. True people use the workplace, where the street market, tea shop, are directed colon. Love without accessories, the object is not hindrance to man, like the mirror of all things, neither welcome nor refusal. If so, then the same. Do not mind the love scene, find the law outside the mind.

I am very embarrassed, have not attained anything, how many words, there are benefits!Comment on the Buddha, you comment, and I comment. Commentary so that no comment needed. On the day of posting the sermon on the sermon, but when looking at myself, the outsider realized the fear, the heart rotten. Therefore, in order to teach people benefits, the mind and body must practice first. How do we practice? Concerning this, I am very embarrassed.

8 / March thirty.

Today I can not preach the sermon; Thank you for your kindness. I'm not lazy, but because my body is not healthy, the practice has not reached its end, only the words of the ancients to support the masses. Today, I do not preach, for two reasons:

First, because of illness. You know that my body is not healthy. People gather here to hear lectures. If you do not try to come here, fear people worry. So I have to go but I'm tired, so I can not preach.

Second, one-sided sermon that can not be practiced one inch. We have charm, converge in the lecture hall. The network of impermanent people, dark at night, like the fire of lightning, why keep it so long! What is the benefit of empty words, for the birth control? If you say anything, then the words of the ancient sages. I know my temper is very bad, explanation is not complete. Even if there is a complete explanation, but no practice, no benefit. Open words, mouth must recite, mind must think. Listen to lecture sermon, must think like thirst drinking orange juice. If so, the speaker and the listener will benefit. My karma is heavy, unable to do so. The virtue is much better than the latter. How can I compare them! The explanation is meaningless, not as French. So can not explain.

Now is the life of Dharma, who can act as the ancient virtue, the most active one, scolded beat, exhaled liver gallbladder, are transformed into true nature?

I was a nineteen year old; Until today, is over a hundred years old, life has passed in vain. As a child, not known dead living, should travel east west; Study rush hurry hurry, never set foot true place. At birth and death, as miserable as anyone. He Quy Son said:

- Self-hatred does not prepare to practice, age in the afternoon more and more sin. When dying, the warming disintegrates, the nervousness of fear, as birds fly through the body.Mind depends on karma, such as debtors, any strong leader leads ahead. Mixed mind, where heavy fall before.

As young, refusing to be courageous, and do not let go of mind, only swirling in the fame of affluent market harm. Listening to the sutras, meditating, mountain climbing, relics, and self-deception. At that time, do not know good good, so all day running a hundred miles; Hungry, please feed on him, forget yourself. So, wasting precious time; Today, both regret "old did not prepare to practice", old sickness, death also can not live, not stable, not happy. Living also suffering, but die hard. It is "old in the afternoon, more sin". Cultivation never stepped to the true. At the moment of death, depending on the karma that flowed, like the offspring of the egg shell, which is "birds fly through the body, the mind to lead karma." If the master is able to move things. Understanding the four is not the mind is not led. On the contrary, as debtors, are pressed for money. Now bewildered on the road, do not know where to go to, how much suffering, but regret it was too late. Open your eyes, see the horse's face. Not a mountain, it is also a forest. Then, what do you want to say?

School attendance! When young, the body is still strong, must be quick efforts, anxious to lay the route, use the religion. As I am now old and weak, want to practice but not. Mouth blasts baubles, saying a lifetime, no sense of taste at all. In the past, where the Temple of the Three Towers in Ningbo taught the Lotus. East to south-west, four mountains, Chung Son, Kim Son, Xiaoshan, Yunnan, Tibet, Burma, Siam, India, running around everywhere, not tired. As a child, like painting as a lord, doing things in vain. Today, think again, see all the old things are wrong.

You go to school! Meditation must watch the conversation until death. Ancient people said:

- Cultivating sincerity, the present life and the past.

True spiritual practice, ie, head-to-head conversions; Decided to keep the sentence "who is reciting the Buddha" as the root. Do not play the magic, because they can not fight impermanence. Constant mind, unchanging, that is the true heart. Before the recitation, ie the first voice. Mindfulness has been born, or call the tail. Birth does not know where from.Dead do not know where to go. Always being born in the womb. If you know who you are before your parents are born, then a little silk does not carry, no reason, not a piece of pink clouds. At that time, elaborate new useful.

The person who uses mind, where meditation is indistinguishable are two. Meditation is the first voice attachment. Nembutsu is also the initia. It is important to be jealous of birth and death, sincere spiritual practice, clutching the first sentence, death also do not let go. This life is not finished, the next life will continue. "Eternal life if not rotten, the Buddha will have a feat."

Mr. Zhao said:

- meditation where the air, sitting for thirty years, if not gai, beheaded to cut off his head.

Cao Feng retreat to death. Mr. Xuefeng nine times up Mount Dongshan. Zhao Zhou at eighty years old and still go to pay taxes. At the Van Cu encounter with Ungroup, although twice as old, but Zhao Chau still revered as the sunrise, not accept the general, not embarrassed counsel consultation. After that, he holds fast to the conversation for a few decades, then the gospel. Associate professor affiliated with more than twenty people, came to consult the prayer of Zen Master Bung Dung in the teacher. Zen master Bung Dung taught:

- The most precious Dharma is not the list of interests, not the coast. Only one religious cult.

At that time, a young smiling monk said:

- Thought to hear the strange. Who suspects only these trivial words.

Master Lienchi told me:

- The venerable word of this Zen master is here.

Be careful the words. Do not use the double question of the virtue to hide his face. To be able to speak. Self-cultivation can be new people. If so, then the boat will save lives for beings. If the language contrasts contrast, only to speak quietly, as if the drug is not correct, so this drug becomes poison. You do not have gold, you can not buy silver. There is gold that has the right eye. There are genuine eyes that can recognize jewelry. Please watch mindfulness watch, see if you have gold or not!

9 / The third April.

The first section of the Kim Cang business, Su Tu Bo Nhat asked the Buddha:

- The good men and women, want to develop the heart of Tam Dao Tam Tam Tam, where to live in mind, how to care for the heart?

Buddha replied:

It must be like that. Should be like the mind.

The mind goods are prevented from triggering the expectation of motion, causing it not to run. Bodhi mind everyone has enough, not defective. The Great Sutra always teaches us about this mind. The Blessed One early morning star, suddenly enlightenment equality. Then he immediately said:

- Strange! All beings, are full of the wisdom of the Tathagata. Because of the expectation of attachment, it can not be attained.

Obviously, everyone is a Buddha, and have all the General Tathagata. Song, still living beings today, just because there are too many attachments hope. Therefore, in the Kim Cang sutras, the Buddha tells us to "restore the mind like that".

Buddha sermon, just want us to recognize this mind. Kinh Lang Nghiem said:

- You should know, all beings from ancient to present, birth and death, just because the mind is not clear mind, can be bright, use imaginary, that idea is not real, is rotated.

The Dalai Lama from India, to direct the mind, to see the nature of the Buddha. Who knows, he became a man. Zen master Ph? Ng Hai, consulted the Sixth Patriarch, asked:

- Please explain the reason is the Buddha.

Luc Nhan said:

- Mindfulness before birth, ie, mind. Mindfulness follows not destroy, ie Buddha. Achievement all generals, ie mind. Leave all generals ie Buddha.

Zen master Tri Thong considered the Lang Dynasty more than a thousand times that did not understand the trinity of four positions, so to the League, solving problems. Newspaper:

- Three body consists of pure Dharma, that is, his personality. Perfect body, ie your wisdom.Embodiment of a thousand memories, that is his behavior. If you leave the nature of the table three separate body, ie called the body but no mind. If you do not have three bodies, it is called four Bodhi. Mausoleum often means that the mind is the Buddha, as well as the above.

Three generations of buddhas and great ancestors, all refer to this mind. We cultivate, also cultivate from this mind. Beings create karma, also by this heart out. This mind if not morning, must cultivate. Create a Buddha or sentient beings, all by the active mind. Ten legal world is the six sacred four, are not outside this. The four saints are Buddha, Bodhisattva, Pratyekabuddha, Thanhvan. The six divine is heaven, people, hell, hungry ghost, animals, A Tu La. In ten legal world, outside the legal world of the Buddha, the other nine are called beings. The four gods of the gods are no longer suffering reincarnation. Six ordinary species are still circulated in birth and death. Devotional is the Buddha or sentient beings, all are created by the mind. If anyone recognizes this mind, then there is no earth, there is no earth, say the ten world law! The ten precepts are from a thought arising. An excess transport all, want to dignify solemnly, ie the legal world of the Buddha. Cultivation complete the lucrative, total amnesty, the law of the Bodhisattva. Consciousness of coast, proof of heaven, ie the legal conditions. Using the religious achievements, the Four Noble Truths, attributed to Nirvana, the legal world Thanh Van. Here all good things, create human rights, illegal legal world. Infiltration of non-stop, good grace mixed, ie the legal world. Mind often clumsiness than lose, like to win over, ie legal A Tu La. Compassion is the root, bad greedy stingy business, that is legal world livestock. Luscious non-stop, dumb ideas, ie the hungry ghost. The rebellious, the ten evil karma, the destruction of Buddhism, breaking the world, ie the legal world hell. However, ten legal world is not a mind. Tu tu dhamma, that is, the meditation, Buddhist meditation, chanting, worship. From dawn to dorm on the main hall, practicing all the alms, is spiritual cultivation. This mind if not discharge, will cause ignorance, laxation, all fallen. Except to kill the gas, and evil does not do, but always doing good deeds, that is, promoting good. Self-nature is the Buddha, do not expect the bridge, only the clean air of greed, greed and self-nature, pure self-sufficiency.

For example, barley, after flour into flour, natural turn to turn material, can make soy sauce, pasta, filter cake, porridge rolls. Many kinds of ways, are created by themselves. If you know it is barley, do not be dumplings, rolls porridge rotate. Cake and cakes, though two different names, but the same form. Do not go to the north to receive no bread, or run south to receive no cakes. Arrive back to the table, not in addition to sweeping the air, that is, the center of this. Stand up, sit quietly, busy rest, do not start thinking mind; That is the mind.Recognize this mind as barley, making a different type of cake, not far from religion.

10 / The fifth year of April.

The Surangama Sutra says: "Even though he is enlightened, this enlightenment will be lost, but not destroyed, but by the second."

The reason, is the mind of everyone. This identity is ancient capital is equal.

The cardboard of Tiantai, ie the virtue of the Bodhisattva.

The first is that all beings are Buddhists. Whether the Buddha was born or not, this general is still permanent. Phàm phu where the nature of the Buddha is not different, so called rational.

Second, that is to say, when listening to the true Bodhi, then even in the text of communication, all the dharmas are Buddhist, and all beings will become Buddhas.

Third, ie, mindfulness means clear mindfulness, good reasoning. How do you say that? Say how it behaves like that.

Fourth, that is to say, first of all, to enter into the ecclesiastical status of the pagan religion, the true, unreasonable one.

Fifth, ie the evidence that the first part of ignorance, see the Buddha nature, open treasure, manifest legs as, called the center of mind. From the nine pillars until the forty-one isogonic position, breaking the forty-one parts of ignorance, see the legal nature.

Friday, ie without a means of salvation means breaking the forty-two products of ignorance, initiating the perfect sense of salvation, ie, the divine essence.

Li said that beings are Buddha-nature, and have the ability to become a Buddha, but not just a little tu. The ancient saintly virtue passed through decades, labor hard practice. The place has been dismantled, but still have to squeeze out the gas. The pure nature of the air is contaminated with gas, so it has not become a Buddha. Get rid of the gas to become a Buddha. Talk about the reason, we are different from the Buddha where? Every day, think for yourself, Buddha is human, we are human too. Why did he become a noble, respected people? Because of ignorance, we can not control ourselves. Do not trust yourself, then how can others believe themselves? As discussed, we are not the same Buddha, but talk about the other is different. Our everyday acts of artifacts, all due to autism. Buddhas are not like that; Every gesture of their actions is for the benefit of others.

Kinh Kim Quang Minh said: "In the auditorium of the congregation, there are seven precious stones, from the ground up, then the Buddha from the seat, stand up ceremony worship the other Bodhisattva God, white Buddha:

- By the coast that the Sun worship ceremony that?

Give newspaper:

- This Thien Thien Lady! At the practice of the Bodhisattva, my relatives, resting in the tower.Due to this body, now I soon become A Tam Tam Tam Tam Tam.

The Blessed One wants the public to surrender or suspend the cause of the relics of previous lives. Buddha said:

- Hey Nan! In the past, a king named Ma Ha La Da, he had three princes. One day, the third prince on the occasion of entering the forest, saw a tigress with seven baby tigers, hungry thirsty, body thin skinny, breathless. The prince thought to himself: "The time to die has come!"

At that time, the brave prince made his vow, from the high mountains, to jump down in front of the tigress. Tigers found flesh and blood in front of him, he crawled to eat and drink, only left the bones. At that time, the great king Ma Ha La Da and the queen knew this, so they shed tears, and co-opened the chain, and together with the masses to the bamboo forest, collected relics, Right here. That is the cause of the relics in my previous life. "

This is the difference in behavior between the Buddha and us. He gave up the body of the tiger; Do not accept the general, should be deducted general, how can not become a Buddha?

I am so ashamed, running around for decades, never eager, solving the suffering and death, should not be tolerated. Needless to say, only talk about the mind in twelve times, meet the charm see the scene, see if see or not! As young, often carrying out, until today, is known to be wrong. When listening to the sermon, if the word or magic is happy mind, want to learn.If the lecturer's age is small, or lectures are not as legal, the mind contempt when, tribute high. This is a bad habit, heavy breathing. In the meditation hall, sitting in the center of chaos, wasting time.

Noble monks on the sermon. You clap your hands cluttered practitioners to teach. If they are good or good, they would like to preach. If the lecture is not good then do not like to hear.Self-centered obstacles. In fact, other people say good or bad, I also do not learn or do anything, and there is no correlation. Throughout the day, only the worries of their consoles.This exercise is very difficult except. On the road, idle lazy, talk will come to this place to stay through the winter, to the other place to stay over, to this place where to eat rice tea. Again, there is often a continuity; Venerable here and there, like this one. Discussing the useless words, then explaining the spiritual teachings, is very false.

Again, the two gates and benefits are also difficult to overcome. Tian Ba ​​Pagoda in Changzhou, the prize money twice a year. Normally, each time in the temple there is a conference, each teacher in the synagogue, received twelve cents, but the abbot kept two cents, only ten cents. Great French Rector Finished, each teacher was issued sixty cents, but the abbot retained ten cents, only fifty cents. In the beginning of January and early July, each monk in the temple was given the same bonus, but some people complained a lot.Indeed, the door to benefit is difficult to overcome.

August in the eighth, which is the day of receiving the title. Others must invite themselves first. If not invited or only invited to small posts, the discharge is not floating. It is impossible to break through the door of glory. Talk about spiritual practice, just have some fame. So, what practice? These things, should be cleaned, removed slowly. When faced with them, discharge is not floating also discharge.

It is a bit of a violation of the rules of the parent. Listen to the teachings of good knowledge, do not forget to shine. What to do, should be directed to the direction. Direction is the reason. Li is also the mind. What is mind? Mind is the Buddha. Buddha means no increase, no green, not gold, and not long or short.

Kinh Kim Cang said: "If you see the generals that are not general, that is Tathagata."

Stepping on this road, the boat goes with the Buddha. Use reason to object. If any situation does not discharge, then the reason that illuminated will be successful.

If you understand the sentence "all generals are false", where does the afflictive mind come from? If you want to practice, what can not overcome, try to overcome. Must hold the nature like. You should be spirited.

11 / April Nine in April.

Dat Dat said:

- Understanding the mind of the Buddha, the corresponding solution, called it.

Happiness is mutual, that is, to do. The ancients, very often when they can not speak, but can not speak or speak. The theory of the wisdom of the Noble Truth. Acting in the true nature of the body. Both members are unscrupulous. That is called theory and practice is complete. Hinayana legal law body not ants. Although the action, but not destroyed all defilements or karma, should not open the argument. So not to mention the following five.

Teaching business so that the gods spread the sky over the land, but can not work, so can not paragraph or truthful. Today, we say many, but very little practice, so very difficult to witness. The spoken word is an elegant script. Discuss from the ordinary position to the fruit of the Buddha, how the paragraph or evidence of the General? How divine supernatural?How to open the full extent? At the moment of death, the body is tired, because everyday is not honest practice, only say can not do. Quy Son Jingbook said: "Middle gentlemen, always pay attention to the teachings."

We do not say that is not done. The most ancient one, the outside as the same, recited not so different, so heart correspondence. Our bad habit is very much; Although want to dress but not floating, even to the exclusion, should be surrounded by circles. Mind panic, do not achieve practical benefits. Want to say no words. When discussing, discussing, discussing, and chapters. At old age, weak temperament, the lecture head forget the tail, lecture tail forget the head; The explanation is still not swept away. This is no match; Say empty words, so suffering throughout life; Open your mouth is not, do not know where to go. I myself was like that. Once dreaming, no idea what hope, can not be self-control. At birth and death, can not be used. Day by day the wind is blowing; No time to dispense or control. Explaining anything is useless. Today, I live a few more days, a few words for you. In fact, only mudguard Bodhisattva Bodhisattva. If you understand these encouragements, it is a bit of a boon. It is necessary not to leave the scene. As if with a whip, if the buffalo does not listen, then hit a few whips. If the habit of such a mind, and elaborately getting more and more deep, there is good news.

12 / Eleventh of April.

Two days ago, this old man bothered you a lot. The old house was broken, and the new toilet was not built, which made you have difficulty urinating. Life in this world is suffering, just because they do not understand the transformation. This is not satisfied, the other is not satisfied. Taking a closer look, mutable things exist because of the mutual support of animals and plants. All animals disintegrate. If the impurity is impure, immediately attached to the color, taste. Place of five colors, five taste, good charm, bad, are thought. For spiritual practitioners, it is not possible to leave eating and sleeping. Concerning vegetarianism, five fruits and vegetables are used. At the time of planting, if there is no fertilizer, it can not be harvested much. Specifications are very good fertilizer. Plants absorb more nutrients as they grow faster. People eat vegetables, is it unclean? Eat again and again, and then use it as fertilizer. Just rotate like that, animal-feed plants, and plants nourish animals. Purification turned into food. The food turns into filth. At the meal only tastes good smell that is not dirty? Food is like that, so also clothing. Flowers of paprika, wood of the house, all need fertilizer for planting. So what we are wearing and staying in is all dirty.

While renovating the new home, use the old toilet. It is a good idea to use old house materials to build new toilets and buffalo stables. If today is not used, tomorrow will be burnt wood, it will trigger the effect of leaks. Talk about dumbness, actually inside and outside of our bodies are all foul smiles. If you understand this, then all things are clean, all unclean not clean.

A monk asked Van Mon:

- What is the Buddha?

Van Mun said:

- dry cucumbers!

Dry cheddar bud is the Buddha. Buddha is dry sticks. What does this mean? If you think this word is blasphemy, it is shifting form. Must look insight, as if motionless, want to be afraid. If you do not want to be moved, it must be used. Where the net is no heart, holy love, not clean yet? Old language, repeat is okay, but the task is not finished. The meaning of the sentence, difficult to answer. Why do blasphemy, take dry sticks compare with the Buddha, a god of infinite, in human beings? People see the mind clear, when looking at things clear mind. When there is no object, the mind does not appear. The person who knows the mind, where all purifying is mind.

Zhao Chao asked:

- What is the Buddha?

Zhao Zhou said,

- Is the electricity.

Is it a land statue?

- Right.

- I do not ask that Buddha.

- So he asked the Buddha?

- The true Buddha.

Electricity.

Must understand the answers above. Be aware that all are created by the mind. Talk about reason, see the object is to see the mind. Where every gesture of action, should be meticulously elaborate, the new benefit. Place where the capital is directed. If the attaching mind is clean, holy, the place is obstructed. Let's try it! At the main hall or down the toilet, often reflect back to his mind.

13 / April fifteenth day. Show on the occasion of the retreat.

Last night, he told me that returnees retreat tomorrow, must set up tea ceremony, but buy no fruit at all. In stock no longer spent, so what to do? I replied that he was in the picture, do not know the time. At full moon, the full moon. When not seeing the moonlight, it is known as thirty. Fresh grass is known as spring. Snow falls, know it is winter. Drinking tea or drinking water, I did not notice. Also because of not paying attention to make me self embarrassed. As a child, running all over the place, the car was messy for several decades.Today, head of silver that has not accomplished anything. Waste of time is too much.Therefore, the tea ceremony is the work of the abbot, not mine.

The weather in each year, the sects determine the time difference. According to Zen, a year has two quarters, which begins on the first full moon day of the first lunar month in July. You meditate winter quarter, while summer quarter you study. The law divided into four quarters.1st lunar month, meditation winter loss. April full moon, enter the dwelling. Full moon in July, serenity relaxation. Full moon in October, meditation loss. These are four important days of the year. Therefore, according to the precepts, today is the day of the retreat, sitting on the grass, preparing the karmic. For ninety days and nights, you can not step out of the way.

Relaxing Buddhism retreats for many reasons. Summer, there are many insects on the road.Because the Buddha is based on compassion as a basis, it is feared that in the summer, if he steps out on the street, he will trample insects. On weekdays, green grass can not be trampled on. Therefore, in the summer monks must stay in the pagoda, to maintain the birth of beings.

Again, the summer is hot, out of grace, sweat wetting the shirt, losing the posture, should be restricted in the world. At the same time, in the summer, women dressed in fluffy clothing, there is no dazzle. Monks into their home coast, it is very inconvenient, so have to calm down.

In the past, retired Manjushri resided in three places, so he was kicked out by Kasyapa. He has just kicked out the Manjushri from the temple and saw thousands of reincarnations of Manjushri in the temple. Ca lettuce used all power, but can not expel him Manjushri. So the Buddha asked:

- Ca lettuce, he was about to expel any man from the temple.

He has no reply. Through this story, we see clearly, the use and the power of Mahayana and Hinayana are not the same. The realm of Thanh Van and Duyen Giac different.

Yesterday afternoon, in the monastery, the teacher went to the main hall, cleaning, arranging tablets. This morning, they were elevated to the main hall of the shrine, singing the "Three Pillars of Trumpet" three times, then the four saints. Next, outside the main hall, and then three times, signaling the beginning of retreat. Sangha ceremony abbot finished, raised them face to face, open the coordinates, the three prostrations. Next, to the staff room, listening to the abbot of the sermon. Morning busy tired. Noon to eat tea cake. In the sugar mills, monk head of the pulpit. At that time, according to precepts, do not need to go to the sermon court.

In the past, where the monastic forest, if there is a bell is called a permanent seat. Why this place is not called often? At present, on Van Cu Mountain, it is full of pictures, but like monasteries. This place is not literature, martial arts is not martial arts. All things are done by the abbot. Currently, because the abbot is not here, I temporarily substitute for him, explain a few words, to talk about the way of learning the ancient religion for you to hear the early.

When I come to this contest, because of the design of memory birth and death, so I always put these two words on the head of the lashes, how dare to joke, wasting time! Those who study meditation, must know the autonomy, do not let the scene transfer. Ancient people eager to teach the future, where the static must recognize itself; For twelve, do not forget yourself. Venerable Taurus in Zhuzhou every day cook their own rice, offering them increased. At lunch time, he brought the box to the boys, singing and singing:

- Bodhisattvas, come eat here!

There is a monk asked Van Mon:

- How to discuss more than the Buddha than the Patriarch?

Van Mun said:

- cake cake.

So the following people have written shelf:

"Van Mon Biscuits.

Trieu Chau Tea.

Hand in hand.

Chew the green wind has a taste

Eating a full moon is still superfluous. "

The most moving, the teacher always break the attachment, to make us understand all are Buddhist.

Zen master Nham Loi Tung Tu Hu people in Quoc Chau, write shelves for the disciples:

"The Tzu has a dog.

The top keeps the human head.

In the middle of the human mind.

The bottom keep people.

At the table lost his life. "

Raised to consult, he said:

- Let me have a look!

Venerable Bich Ma Nham at Ngu Dai Mountain, usually holding a triple tree. Every time to see the rose to worship, immediately put the three pointed to the neck, said:

- Ma did not teach him to go home? Which teacher taught him to take charge?Enlightenment also died under three trees. Not dying also died under the tree. Hurry up!Hurry up!

Zen master Zenon in Mount Sonshan, Qizhou, if any students come to consult, said:

Hoa Son, beat the drums.

In addition, some professors, professional chase to curse the students.

Understand that all are religious. Understand the scene was moved. This is not the intention;The other is not legal. In the scene of the bewilderment, we break the merit forest. Fire burning fire, burning burning seeds, how to cut off birth and death? Shocked not like, do not want to work. It's the place, it must be your heart. The scene is not self-mastery, ie suffering. Say it but can not, it's wrong The more said, the more wrong. It is very embarrassing.

Dong Dong Pha, while in Zhenjiang, made poetry praised the Buddha:

"Heavenly God

Halo illuminated the sky

Eight winds do not move

Sitting on a golden lotus. "

Writing finished, he sent to Kim Son pagoda, to ask the Buddhist teacher to witness. After the watch was over, the Buddhist monk immediately turned over the paper and wrote the words "fight and fight" and sent it back to Simeon. Reading those four words, Sue Dong Pha very angry, so rowing to the river, to Kim Son Pagoda, asked Buddhist monk:

- Where is my shelf wrong where you dared to ask the other four?

The Indian Buddhist monk insisted:

- He said, 'Eight breeze does not move.' Why just because the other four words, cross the river to here?

We like the East Side, we can not do that. A small story is enough to give birth to air, say only "eight wind blowing".

Monks and nuns calculate the age difference from the laymen. If it is summer, it is one summer, one summer. In winter, a winter is added to the winter. Today retreats, on the full moon in July to disband. Fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventh days are called quadruplets. The word Tu Tu, formerly translated from Sanskrit, ie Thich Ba Noa. Former translator called Tu Tu Tu. New translation called Custom. Those days, self-sentencing and repentance in front of them. It is self-centered. Again, self-meaning also means that the arbitrary modification, ie depending on the will of others who sentenced themselves. This is a Buddhist law made to critique each other and critique themselves. Today, Buddhism in the country, there is no holiday feast, so for people, dare not say the word directly.

This place is not the competition, not the forest monastery, not the literature or martial arts, but the peaceful settlement. So, depending on the weather, talk about the East West.

14 / Sixteen days in April.

Today, it rained heavily, the east wind blew cold bones. They are not afraid of sowing hard rice that come here, so what is it? In the past, Ba Truong, ie Duy Chanh, told the masses:

- You help me clear the land. I meditate for you.

Opening the land is finished, to the top of the Upper Trượng, the public said:

- The fields have been cleared. So now the Great Commission of the theory of magic.

Hao Zedong came down to meditate, walked three steps, spread his arms, eyes to heaven and earth, said:

- The meaning of garden (magic), still retained.

Think about what Ba Truong said? The mind should be used to understand the instructions of the saint.

Over the decades, I for karma to cheat the Buddha to eat rice, head not touched the tail.Back, can not help you work. Want to say that can not speak, only reluctantly use the words of the ancient people that the dialogue.

Venerable Chi Cong writes in his book "The Twelve Chanting Period," which includes the following verse: "Eating now, ignorance is the body of Shakyamuni. Throughout the day, the negative tone of the form, looking for the body of the novice, only pollute the human home. If you intend to use the Buddha's mind, ask yourself that in vain, can capture the dust?

Standing is sitting is the direct. Open field orchard is also religious. Outside the world can not find the Buddha. Buddhism and the world is not different. Buddhism is the body. The world is used. Page Assurance:

- Tao in the cottage.

Going to urinate is also the way. Mr. Cao Phong wrote the shelf implanted:

"The handle of the blue plating in the field

Bend your head to see blue water in the sky

Six pure bar is the direct

Progressive capital is a step forward. "

Buddhism is no different. Thousands of lights shine a light. When planting rice, direct on your hands. Standing is sitting is the direct. Rice cultivation is directed. Bowing the head is a reflective rebound. Blue water reflected in the sky. Pure mind immediately see nature. The six senses, such as eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, sound, form, scent, taste, touch, and all things. If it is not pure, then there is no religion. Buddha-like light. In the room if there is a lamp, the light of that lamp radiates. If you put a thousand lights in a room, the light of those lights shines throughout the room, without interfering with one another.Mountains of the Universe, sum la as well as the same, do not interrupt each other. If the reflection reflect, look at yourself, you will see the nature, ie the six pure net where the place is the direct. If you want six pure bar, should be backward step. The Surangama Sutra says: "If there is no attachment in the plane, then the body does not cling to the back line back to the source of unity, no action, the ten realms of water are deposited in the net.

Therefore, "step back", ie "step forward". If the back folded, the faster the faster. If you do not do not accomplish. Alignment is not attached to the scene, such as the eye is not sharp, the ear is not sound transferred, etc. .. Master is not outside the scene. But how can we be so self-reliant? He Quy Son said:

- If love does not match, then things do not stop people.

As if they are transplanting rice, if not initiate discrimination, cavalier mind is not present, there is no birth defilements. If the mind starts to distinguish, then see the ceiling, ie the defilement, or the scene of suffering miserable. Confucius said:

- Mind is not in. Look not see. Heard not know. Eat without knowing the taste.

The mind is not in the mind is no discrimination. Mind does not discriminate without obstacles. Eating and drinking also do not know the taste. Lam Dao Buddhist monk in Co Son Mountain, researcher Thanh Nui Thanh Huong's official quotation of Hoa Nghiem Sutra, and Ly's essay. It is too profound to read, so it is not convenient for beginners to read, so write weakly, compose a book. Zen master dedicated to writing, not distinguish mind. One time, the attendant brought the breakfast cereal, next to the stone grinding ink. Zen master abrasive chips eating ink without knowing. When the attendant came back, the Master saw the mouth of the Black Sister, whose breakfast was still on the table.

It is the mind is indistinguishable, should eat no taste. Today we transplant rice, not discriminating mind, and no birth defilements? If so, the same. Day by day, in four postures, walking and sitting, not knowing that it is the direct, but only busy living in distress, so new suffering. Song, defilements are Bodhi, should be self-congratulations.

15 / April seventh day.

Secular, from young to old, can not leave the needs of food, clothing, shelter. Because they are all busy to death. Clothes cover the body, avoid the cold wind. Eat less hungry. Without housing, there is no place to avoid the wind and rain. Missing one of these three needs, can not live. Humans like that, and five other species also need three such needs. The species flying in the air on the ground like tigers, wolves, birds, rat snakes, want to live peacefully, are wearing feather corsages, all need food and drink. These three needs are originally of suffering, but the renouncers do not let them rotate. At the beginning of the kingdom, the Buddha taught bhikkhus to keep only three yanas, a bowl, eat one meal a day, sleep every night at a tree. While minimizing annoyance, it does not necessarily leave them. At present, the time of change, the monk is almost like a secular, still busy for sleep. From morning to afternoon, soak in water, cultivate rice fields. If not, then there is no rice to eat. Spring does not sow the seeds, when the harvest is harvested in the fall? Therefore, rice grain rice bowl is not easy to obtain. It takes time, labor and labor to harvest. As a monk, peacefully folded hands sit, enjoy achievements career!

Ancient people said:

- If you understand the five ways of eating, then pepper is easy. Three mind if not finished, the water does not drift.

Monks and nuns should not act like the householder, busy day and night for these three needs. Should be because of direct, eschatological separation. By borrowing a temporary body for authentic cultivation, it is not possible to cut off food, clothing, shelter. At the moment, temporarily have to consider yourself without a body, like the dead. Ancient people said:

- If you are a genuine cultivator, then no time to leave the religion.

Behavior of the leader, where the scene does not leave the scene. Religious as farming. First sow the rice. The rice turns into plating. Plating gradually grows into rice. The rice is cooked into paddy. Rub rice into rice. Cook cooked rice into rice.

Rice seeds like Buddha Nature. The nature of beings, which Buddha is not different. The mind is the Buddha, so called Buddha Nature. The process of transformation from rice to rice, rice, rice, rice is very far away. But do not believe that grain will become rice. Therefore, to become a Buddha must first have faith. We have to sow the rice into the field, and wait for it to turn into glaze. At that time, because of the fear of dried seeds, wasting time, the Buddha taught us to develop the Mahayana psychology, not to enter the Theravada path.Again, when the plating is done then we should pull the grass. Means that the practitioner must cleanse the habit of bad habits, net loss of love, sex, ten toxic, three toxic, ten evil, with all negativity unhappiness. Genetically dressed, mature, favorable, will certainly flower the results.

The practice must be used in the work. I do not have to sit down, lim dim eyes to say that new practice. Of the four majesty, use the three disciplines of the world, Six-room life like buffalo herd, do not let them destroy the land of people. When a beautiful girl stands in front of a layman, it is a branch of fresh flowers for the layman, and for the masters it is a demon.Eyes must be like that, do not let the scene switch. The other five, too, do not let the scene turn around.

Smell the aroma, do not drown. Smell smell, do not hate mind. Do not pay attention to the long eyelashes, short teeth, the triangular four, human marketing. Maitreya Bodhisattva writes:

"He crossed his shirt

The real bar for medium storm

Make a good price welding

Great grace

Trafficked old man

Self-realization

Friendship is old fashioned

He turned to himself

Taxation at the top

Depends on self-will

The province of vip

Afflicted negativity

Price quadruple

Utilize the meditation market

Retired pensioner

Ha ha ha no direct reverend.

Translate:

He wears a patch

I'm full of money

Cold coat cover

All depends on grace

Anyone scolded him

Self-realization

Anyone beat the old man

He turned himself to sleep

Spit on the face

Let it dry itself

We are still self-conscious

They are not bearings

These are the three pāramitās

The protection of the magic

If you know this news

Why worry do not understand the direction. "

Do not worry about advocating, do not fight people, do not make heroes, run out of fire pit, came to the Han River in cool. Enlightenment is the birth of the birth, the sun of the moon to make friends. The place is where the practice, such as sitting on the new cult. If you sit on the new catechism, as the Four Quiet, said: "The money scene, blink immediately follow them."

The world, can not finish the word or bad. If you break the door this is no longer afflicted. To be complimented is rejoiced, the illusion of joy. Three good ones, holding to old age. But, who impersonated, that is good knowledge. They make themselves aware of the mistake, the evil deeds. Should be modified.

Dress up sleep, walk and sit, do not leave the religion. Eighty-four thousand adept, no more than four postures. Ancient people, religious practice does not waste time. When sleeping, using the round wooden pillow, fear of long lost desire, will be misleading. Not only during the day meet conditions, self-control, but sleep is still self-control. When lying to the right of the wall, the body as the bow, using the right hand pillow, the left hand on the body. That is the auspicious place. When he is dreaming, he continues to work. Do not let volatile mind flow to the past, swept away to the future, scattered startling thoughts from morning to night.

Everyone has fantasies. Nembutsu is also thought. The meditator if want to except hope, the ghost to kill ghosts, Buddha to kill the Buddha, and then go to the security. Do not be afraid to initiate, only be aware of slow. Use like that, long time naturally mature. In busy, the market, the net, where the road market, meditation. Not busy farming rice but forget the practice.

16 / April twenty one.

The Buddhist disciple of Tibetan Buddhism, teach you to cultivate, ie, witness the fruit, have to go through three lifetimes new hope to achieve. Song, solitary only meditation, rapid development, no need to "increase the schedule, the law of the body," that does not have to wait up to three a lifetime increase legal Dharma. Compare two things: First is the need to practice through thousands of hardships, to be able to achieve, very difficult. Second is just self-identity, self-identity Buddha, immediately cut off ignorance, possible soon established the site of Buddha. Indeed, as snakes bites, rapid poisoning. Song, regardless of Hinayana, Mahayana, education, education, if honest want to return home, it is not easy.

You come from thousands of mountains, find Van Cu, hoping to hear the teachings of spiritual practice. At the same time burning incense, went up to sit on the canteen, stop calm mind, called spiritual practice. Listening to the signal of the hour of opening, rest, went to bed. Hearing the gong hit three times, he woke up, went to the main hall, continue to practice the monk. At work hours, eat morning porridge. When eating porridge is also spiritual practice. Eating finished, listening to the gong, then the field hoe vegetables, tile tile. If you go to urinating, to mind the mind, then forget about the same practice. According to the Fa-rectification, "the vast nature of the law encompasses all things."

If only go to the main hall of the new practice, the elaborate labor at work where it lost, and elaborately sitting incense to run where? Ra farming field to mind mind. Not a place to go, every place can not use public, head start.

Ancient people said:

Must be directed at yourself, do not run away from the bridge.

As a child, my feet wear straw shoes, climb the sea climb, also because of the early religious audience. The mind is much in demand, like monkeys picking fruit. Pick one fruit and then pick another fruit. Picking to picking up, until no longer picking. At present, the eyes want to fall to the ground, looking back, suddenly realized that the old behavior is wrong with the director. In the Pure Land, Mr. Fossil wrote:

Life of a hundred years, seven weeks hy

Confirmed the old, no sense

Falling every time, all over the land

Leave Pure Land, not thinking about

Aromatic bamboo shoots, layer by layer

Coral reef, parked in the trees

Due to the trunk proof, not brain disease

Enjoy meditation, forever satisfied. "

In the past, human life was only seven or eighty years, few lived to one hundred years old.For decades, doing this thing, are all human beings. Today, retrospectively, it is clear that things are not right. How to know? My job application; From the beginning of the mind, because of wanting to know themselves, should go to the religious. The knowledge that teaches me to develop the Mahayana mind, not because of autism. Thanks to that, I overlap the director of the Buddha, repairing a few small temples, but realize how many afflictions suffering misery. Heaven is not finished, but hell has become. For the law, although sowing good cause, but the effect is bad. Do not want to revenge, but how much do not detract, bind afflictions. In the mass, can not hide. Study the language of dance, say some chapters of the old, do not avoid being ridiculed by others; I myself have not been able to handle a sentence. Today is old, do not want to fool fool trick, create hell industry, should go to the paintings, where Van Cu!

As a result, not free from karmic obstacles, still create karma, set up next. Although I am staying in the competition, but to complicate matters. No discharge. Lecture but not work. A headline does not know where to go! Having escaped prison, again into the hammock net.Han Son wrote:

"He asked Han Son

Han Son Road is not clear

On ice melting day

Japan dew fog

According to us wait time

The same mind does not

Human heart if I am

Coming to that place. "

Dissolved date is not soluble, that is, not let go negativity. Like the day before, the head of the team for a few small things that controversy, the discord with them. I advise three times, he was released. In the end, he still quarrels with producer; I do not recommend it forever.Yesterday, he came to me to ask for medication. I told:

- His illness does not require medication, only the release of all attachments will be healthy again.

Use these words, advise others, but do not recommend yourself, are crazy island? While discussing the word for several decades, but the stomach is still full of affliction; Eat not delicious, sleep quiet, do not know what demon? Enlightening yourself, also makes people deluded. Rice can be transplanted to the human, but I am not finished.

It's easy to say, it's difficult to practice. Do not create bad karma for the future. Turn your mind back, and sow good seeds into the fields. Previous life because no real elaborate, has not yet reached the site, not cultivated good, so this life with the opposite confrontation contrast. Young people must pay attention, do not follow my nature, heavy attachments. The long, dull years, only slightly nominal, is not conducive to true fondness of study. You should try to grow good people into the fields.

17 / Twenty-two April.

The monk, the day of preaching religious practice. What is called tu? Tu tu tu create. Tao means ethics. Li is the mind of everyone. What is this mind? The words of the gods, have explained clearly. Mind like nowhere. Song, speaking of this letter, is still grasp. Li does not split into two parts: vacuum and stupidity. We see nothingness is foolishness. Depending on the coast, depending on grace immutable, versatile spirit, depending on the place, always covering all things, that is the vacuum. Practitioners must understand this vacuum. Identify self-centered, self-nature, pure white in, clear non-afraid, that is direct. Beijing for example.If you look at the map, you can see all of Beijing, narrow streets, high and low square, long square, long list, such as Nam Hai, Tay Son, etc. You know the way. Still, we do not know as much as we really have come to visit Beijing. He came there, did not need the map, can still tell the way clear step. He just looked at the map but never got there, when other people asked, although it can be answered, but not true, because there are still many unknown places. The practitioner, after seeing the direction, as if he himself came to Beijing, found himself "the nature of self-purity, not non-kill, full content, not animated, all-natural. This person is not synonymous with the y in the text that explain, only see the Beijing map, but have never been there.

Truth itself open capital, unscrupulous monster. Not a vacuum can not open, ie, be afraid.Words do not work the same way. So say:

- Can not not, ie not vacuum. The color can be sharp, ie not true color. Father is anonymous.Mother is colorless.

Lust and no capital obstacle. If true to this truth, then freedom to hell paradise; Depending on grace immutable, invariable dependent grace, unscrupulous monster. People do not understand this, although the preaching is spreading heaven full of land, but no real benefit.

In the past, there was a very old monk, lived in the mass for a long time, tolerant temperament, warm hospitality, and often advised others to give up. One time, someone asked:

- Teacher advised to teach, so can do yourself?

He replied:

- Thirty years ago, I cut off my ignorance, why not?

Later, living in the masses, feeling some things are not free of self, so he fled into the deep mountain, am religious practice. Living alone in her room, no people to visit, freedom of self, no defilement. No doubt, one day while sitting in meditation, Thay heard outside the door, there were some idiots joking around and telling each other that they wanted to go to the playground. Some say that should not be mindful of spiritual practitioners. Some say that the cultivator is not moved. Shortly afterwards, the ritualists rushed into the jamboree, jumping around and joking around. However, he still sit in meditation, peace of life, not care about them. The shouts of disgusted roar, but he still did not pay attention. They thought I was dead, because when the body shakes, but not move. When they touch the body, it feels still hot. There is a child:

- This teacher must have been determined!

Some children say they do not believe. In order to test them, they took the straw, swung into the thighs, squeezed into the hands, peered into the belly, and squeezed into the ears, but he did not move. As they squeeze into the nostrils, causing the teacher to sneeze. Open your eyes, Master scolded them:

- Kill us now!

At that time, Quan Yin Bodhisat appears in the air, said:

Thirty years ago, he had finished his ignorance. Why are still today unhappy, have not disappeared?

Through the story, we see clearly, say a staff that is not a yard. Say a ruler that is not a single inch. No moving scene, not easy.

Professor Hám Sơn in the song Nhac Nhan:

"Easy preaching, hard practice

Memories are not subtracted, are free

Chen worldly, often awkward

The mountain is quiet, the public fee. "

We are the monk, if we do not develop diligent mind and practice, just talk about energy, there is no real benefit.

18 / Twenty-three April.

In the Nguyet San Buddhist writes: "The Buddha encountered great tribulation, because of the transmission of the precepts, the truth is lost, the truth is lost."

This is often referred to. A few decades ago, I had lectured on Buddhism being decadent because it was not ordained as a religion. If the precepts are true to the teachings, and the monks and nuns remain strict observers, the Buddhists are not as pensive as the present. I'm very embarrassed myself. At the time of ordination, do not know what gender, just plug the head of asceticism, because that eating pineapple, drink water, is the religious. French Mahayana, Theravada, Tripitaka, Twelve Sutras, all unknown.

Co Son Mountain, Phuoc Kien Province, is a scenic place, there are some monasteries, and there are hundreds of monks. Near people heard the sound, so I went there to go home. The term of Mount Cohan is only eight days. Actually, at that place the transmission of gender is only four years only. On the first day of April, the new samurai brought the name on the street. Next, hurried learning meditation, doing many procedures. There, there are no monks. The New World does not know what gender they will receive. On the eighth day, the son on the flock offering incense, instantaneous is expected to be finished. Later on, I went to wander around the country, knowing how the transmission of the place is different. The Quoc Thanh Pagoda in the Tiantai Mountains has fifty-three days, but only the monastic ordained. The period in Mount Pho Da has eighteen days, known as the Arhat. There are sixteen days at the Tian Dong Temple. The period at Bao Hoa Temple is fifty-three days.Ningquan County, Anhui Province, three-day period. In Huy Chau, there is a temples organization that is very fast, only within one day and one night, called Nhat Da Thanh.

Later, review the law, new ways of transmitting gender like that, are not consistent with the legal world. The Surangama Sutra says: "In the ten masters, (if the monk lost), if there is a non-pure, the lore, that can not be accomplished."

This proves that one of the ten masters, if not pure, the herd does not accomplish. The Surangama Sutra again said: "Doan coordinates settle, spend a hundred days, if there is a person to gain, not leave the seat, immediately attained Sutra. Know, the Buddha not far. "

The transmission of precepts in modern times, do not take the importance that the teachers are ordained pure or not pure, and legal or not legal!

Chinese Buddhism, from the Han Dynasty dreamed of the Tathagata, until the two worshipers Ma Thang, Truc Phap Lan transmission, still not enough ten teachers, But they are shaved as shamans as shamans, they are shackled together, holding the five precepts and ten precepts. In the second year of the Cao Yipingang (250), the magician Dam Ma Ca La translated the Magical Supremacy, then began the practice of ordination. Sa Zhi Shi first take full ordained in China. Next, Emperor Luong Vo De invited the masters of ordained transmission. The prince, prince, ordained, ordained bodhisattva is forty-eight thousand people. In the Road, the lawyer Dao, at the Temple of Pure Land, established Thạch Giới Do, the ordained ordained monk, according to the Doctrine of the Doctrine.

King Tong Zemin (998-1022) ordered the ordination of the ordained at Sung Thang Pagoda, known as Cam Loi. Since then, there have been seventy-two places in the country. The emperor set up the world, so the ordained should be awarded exams. The first member of the world was Sa Di. Sa Di is Sanskrit, translated into Chinese as Retired, stop the evil action.Seven to thirteen years old, called Sa Di chasing crows. At first, the children were monks, but Ananda did not dare to be world class. Therefore, the Buddha said:

- If you can get rid of crow is allowed to leave home.

From the fourteenth to the nineteen years, it was called Reverend Dhamma, which was virtuous and suited to her status. Secondly, according to the master training master in five years to receive full ordained ordained. Twenty to seventy years old, called Names. This age, which suits the tastes, but due to coast is not enough, should be done. Twenty-year-olds have the same serious, newly ordained monk. If you are less than twenty years old and want to receive ordained ordination, the Buddha teaches that from the day of birth, every year you take one month, then in that month take one day, supplement to be twenty. fresh. In the past, many Patriarchs, who are not old enough to be ordained.

From the Qing dynasty until now, the Emperors are mostly Bodhisattvas, such as Thuan Tri, Kangxi and Ung Chanh. Thanks to the Yellow Emperor, the monk did not need to pass the exam, still receive the ordination. No doubt, because of the compassion of the Emperors, which made them so bad. Formerly, the places of transmission are very cautious, such as Bao Quang Pagoda, Chieu Giac Pagoda, Bao Hoa Mountain, Co Son Mountain, Phuoc Kien, Di Son Mountain, etc. Today, great. In addition, in places such as the local dynasty, convention, markets, all sex. So, in the article of Tam Doan Chanh Pham, Hậu Bạt, I write: "Today, writing invitations grows around the market, to gawk, mesmerizing, trading monks, not respect the Dharma. Under the porch, temple temptation, meat cutting surgery, humiliation set up the transmission of sex, human or human, stealing the name of profit, doing business as market trading is a pure Buddhist land, This is now a hell hole. "

Recently, Hoang Hoa Nguyet San, heavily criticized for the abuse of ordination. Such words, why not listen!

In the past, each year I also set up the transmission of the world, should create hell industry no less. However, I am reluctant to do so, because there are some pretexts, especially the desire to post-recovery (adults take a break, the young step forward). When he came to Kowu Mountain, Yunnan Province, he did not see any monks. For the monks there, dressed as secular, it is difficult to recognize. They did not discuss the practice, repair the temple, or offer incense Buddha, but only to enjoy the monastery monastery property, use the money to buy ransom party long head, in order to keep interest. Seeing things so bad, I developed a mind of Chihsang mountain style, by opening the meditation hall, the seat, the meditation room, lecturing the sermon, but no one came. Later on, I changed the way, legal propaganda. In the past, monks in the mountains have not established the transmission of the precepts, so I want to use the French to correct the main teaching, the same director.Therefore, I set up my first mountain, renewed for fifty-three days. At that time, more than eight hundred people were ordained. From then on, the monk on the mountain knows the precepts clearly. By encouraging them, they gradually come back to me. Slowly, they know that the relationship, open the temple to increase them, wearing medicine, chanting Buddhist scriptures, are very necessary. Bad habits such as eating meat, eating onion garlic, drinking alcohol, smoking times is revised. This is the result of borrowing the Dharma to rectify the phenomena of Buddhism in Yunnan Province.

In the past, in Mount Cohan, a mere term of eight days, only the monks and the lay men were sent to the main hall, not the women. Near places, just send money to the monk, got the message. At home, he made seven things, then dare claiming to be a monk, a monk.This is called trafficking. I went to Co Son, changed gender to fifty three days. The sale of the message, not shaving hair, patchwork falsehood, and the bad habits of habits, have been corrected. There are many who oppose this, by rioting, burning homicide. Is it sowing goodness, but is it bad? In the end, I invited the Tu Liem to the mountain, set up a law school. He himself, honest strict rules of precaution, should make me very admired.

Action, in general, is done by oneself, not by external performances. In the past, according to precepts, in every three-tiered world, masters had to learn all the way in three years, before they were ordained.

After the Buddha entered nirvana, the seminary divided into eighteen, so the transmission of sex is very complex. At the time of the Buddha, the Buddha also set up vehicles, for those under twenty years old, to receive full ordained. The later monks, ordained, under twenty years old no less.

If you are guilty without repentance, even if living up to a hundred years old is still wasted. I often see a lot of mage masters, do not hold the precepts. This, everyone knows. The early development of the religious path, must be careful about gender. Because of the need to understand the reason, to diligently study the Mahayana and Theravada sutras. The pure place, although not a bare ceiling, but in all the Buddha, do not discharge a French.

Just ordained, must take the ten precepts Sa Di; In the ten worlds, the first precept is gender, and the six precepts are the gender. Next, ordained, two hundred and fifty. They have three hundred forty-eight sexes. These dhammas, no more than four majesty walking and sitting with seven body parts. Take a step, take the Bodhisattva precepts. About the Bodhisattva there is pure precepts. Firstly, the legal discipline of the world, ie no evil that does not exclude, always start the virtue, ie the seed of virtue, tu dhamma. Second, the legal merit, the accumulation of good things good, initiate virtue, is the virtue of virtue, tu news.Third, photographers of the world, ie all beings, initiation of mindlessness, is a blessing, tu tu reincarnation.

The morality between Mahayana and Hinayana is different. Hinayana surrendered to the body. Mahāyāna prevents the mind from initiating. Where three thousand majesty, eight etiquette, Hinayana subordinate body do not make. For Mahayana, just start the idea is already broken. Teaching Mahayana is very easy, but practice is very difficult.

Sål Loi Phat, while still practicing in the human world, has developed the mind of the Bodhisattva, vowed to enter the world to save sentient beings, do not want to self-liberation, should leave the contest, to crossroads, sit Sit meditation One day, seeing a girl walking and crying, he walked up to him. She said:

- My mother was seriously ill. The doctor told me to go look for the eyes of the living, to make medicine, to heal the disease. I feel this is too hard, so disappointed. Therefore, I often suffer sadness.

He said:

- You peace of mind! Today, I will give her an eye.

- Many thanks! Many thanks! He is truly the Bodhisattva save salvation.

He relinquished his right eye for the other. She said:

- Not! The doctor said to take the left eye!

He reluctantly came back to the left and handed it to her. She holds out his left eye saying:

- This eye is foul, can not be used!

After saying that, she spit up the eye, then threw it to the ground. Because they feel so difficult beings, then he relinquished the burning mind. You look, religious practice is very difficult!

At the ordination ordained monk, monk said:

- Are you a macho?

New death sentence:

- We are the macho!

At the precepts Bodhisattva, monk asked:

Are you a Bodhisattva?

The New World says:

- Dear It is the Bodhisattva.

- You were the Bodhisattva. So develop mind buddha?

- Dear The mind has already developed.

To say it must be done. Legs have not walked to the site, the person cursing a sentence is angry, discharge can not float, causing the mind to move, should fall. After the life of the tent is completed, self-thought test whether, look like Sa Di, Bhikkhu, Bodhisattva not?

19 / April twenty-fifth day

Today, when I came to the boys using rice, I noticed that there are some people, the longer they eat, the more heartbreaking the mind is. At the meal, it is easy to start the mind scattered, but also the opportunity to mind. Human beings do not know human body is precious. Nibbana says: "Being born, making a person is difficult, but finding the Buddha is even harder, like a blind turtle embracing a tree bush in the sea."

"In the open sea, there is a blind turtle, lifeless life, a hundred years to the sea once a bundle of trees, only a hole, the wind drifted everywhere. At sea, the blind turtle has just appeared, and the bush has been salvaged. "

Phàm lives in the sea all five way, but the human body; It is as difficult as the blind turtle to pick up the bush.

Hien said, "A sun is the moon, called a world, a world of nine mountains, eight seas and four continents."

Nine mountains, ie, Mount Meru, Tri Song, Tri Muc Mountain, Dam Moc Mountain, Thien Kien Mountain, Ma Nhi Mountain, Mount Obidium, Mt. The eight seas are the seven seas of Huong Thuy and the sea of ​​Ham Thuy.

Between the two Mount Meru and the Tri Song Mountain, up to the middle of the Mount Obstructed and Mount Tri, there is a sea of ​​Huong Hai. Between the eight mountains, there are also seven sea Huong Hai. Finally, in the middle of Mount Tri-Tsa and Mount Tight Vi mountains, there is the sea of ​​Ham Thuy. There are four continents in the middle east and northwest. The blind turtle is in the sea of ​​Ham Thuy, hundreds of years to lift his head, pick up the puddle of trees.

The Four Teachings said: "While still in the human world, the usual five precepts, the middle of the ten good things, is made human."

North of the four continents, there are no treasures. The rest of Europe, there are King Luan Luan, Dieu, Ba Lieu, Thai Nô, Su Tu, Kieu Le, Chau. All are due to the five precepts and ten good deeds, which results in good retribution. Song, because the upper class of the lower order of the five precepts and ten good things, so new rich, poor people different.

Today, we have human body, to listen to Buddhism, to serve the teachings of Buddhism, the same law, and medical according to the wisdom to satisfy the mind. According to the precepts, from morning to night, to maintain the 'Pi Ni Ni', ie fifty three short notes.

Buddhism:

- Bhikkhu, when the boys eat, have to practice in the shop. Mind scattered, junk, indigestion.

Great, hear khanh, must start mindfulness. Mr. Duy Na, after reciting the prayer, finished reading the verse. Bhikkhus, when eating rice, should be on the way. First, consider your merit more or less, is worth to take this bowl of rice dish is not. (How many drops of sweat, tears down, bring the bowl of rice). Second, see how virtue is, enough virtue to receive this donation. (If virtue is defective, it is not possible to receive this offering easily. Third, to prevent mental isolation, capital is the root. It must be separated from greed, greed, and delusion. Fourth, this food is a remedy, to cure body worn down. (Because of hunger, it should be used as a medicine.) Thursday, because of the achievement of the profession, should eat this food. (If you do not eat to nourish your body, your career will be hard.)

If you understand the five ways you can eat gold easily. Three mind, greedy, not a paragraph, a drop of water is also difficult to digest. You should often start shameless mind, not to lose mindfulness. Immediately listening to the gospel, and the eyes see sharp clear mind. Do not go out of your mind to seek. When observing mindfulness, listening to a cries, one recites the name of the Buddha. Do not talk about the market, jargon, scattered mind. A grain of rice of the benefactor, weighed from Mount Meru. If you do not self-awareness, later life must bring horn hair.

Fruit sensation like rice. Water absorbed in the center of the mind as water to nourish the rice. If the mind always stands where the director, where the place is directed colon.Conscious people, the field of mind does not grow grass grass ignorance, and where often lay wisdom. Have been human body, and heard the Dharma, should make efforts to practice, do not let the days pass useless. END=NAM MO CAKYA MOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.11/3/2017.
