In the late night prayer, there is the saying: "The magnificent Three Gorges Vehicle, The Bat Nha Van, Six Straight Slopes, The Three Deep Powers ..."; In the Great Compassionate Dharma, there is a saying: "Nam Mo Brahms Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, pray soon to the Bat Nha Boat" and the poem we hear in the words of the Venerable Master:

Our hands lift rice bowl smell Huong Tich 
Can together a cup of water Tsai 
Take the birth of Bao Thanh soon returned to 
Bat Nha Boat sail to Giac port ...

Indeed, in the daily life in the temple, everyone has heard the phrase "Eat ripe rice, drink tea Cao Khanh, sitting on the boat Bat Nha, watching the moon, so many people wonder" Bat Nha Boat "What kind of boat? This article will answer some questions about that question.

According to the Twelve Sutras, Boat Bat Nha is the example, for example in the real world to show the Buddha's secret. Boat is only for boats, rafts, boats traveling on rivers, at sea. Prajna is wisdom, a kind of wisdom comprehending the truth of the truth of all things in the world is not real, is the illusory non-existent, but according to Intelligent Intelligence, everything in this world Like the shadow in the mirror, like the moon under the water, as the dream, like the sun waves ... from which the practitioner goes to enlightenment liberation for the enlightenment of the truth. Therefore, Bat Nha is the intellectual boat that can transport beings across the sea suffering birth and death to the shore of Nirvana liberation happily.

As a disciple of the Buddha, everyone feels close to the Prajna Heart Sutra, which we recite daily, without any sutra, which we do not recite. For compassion, the end of the business is Prajna Heart Sutra, symbolizing wisdom. Compassion and wisdom are like the indispensable wings to help one fly into the world of peace and liberation. At the end of this sutra, there is the mantra "Yard, shabby, three shabby, three shabbits, bodhi slap her," roughly translated as "passing, passing, crossing, passing to shore That's fun ". It is because of the phrase "three scribes" (to the other) and the word "bhikkhu" as "bastard", meaning "to the other shore". The other is the realm of Nirvana, peace and liberation. Because the river delights, the sea love to separate the two sides of suffering and happiness, want to cross the other, You must step on the Bat Nha boat through the practice of Bat Nha B Sassa with three phases: Van Tu Bat Nha; Bat Nha and Real Bat Nha. It is because of this spirit that the German Patriarch thought of the Bat Nha Boat to help the meditator easily meditate and apply this Bat Nha practice in his daily life for peace and happiness.

Prajnaparamitra Sutra is sufficiently written to be Ma Ha Prajna Paramita Sutra; Ma Ha is great; Bat Nha is wisdom; The paramattha is ultimately, the end, the end, the other; Heart Sutra is the core, core business. Thus the title of this sutras is: The core of the great wisdom can bring the practitioner to the shores.

The Prajna Heart Sutra which we usually maintain daily life in Vi

Back to the Bat Nha boat, anyone who wants to take Bat Nha boat across the river to love the sea has to go through three stages of training, that is the Bat-elegant, Bat Nha and General Bat Nha. Bat Nha is also a means of Bat Nha, the abode of the text, the words to recognize the truth everything is temporary and always change. Consciousness is to consider, to see the truth of all things is not a certain entity. Actually Bat Nha is due to the practitioner contemplating the dharmas are generals should arise intellectual, thanks to this wisdom that can understand all the nature, real General, formless of all things. Bat Nha literature can be compared to the boat, Bat Nha Consciousness is considered as a cheo practitioners rowing, Actually Bat Nha looks like the yogi passed to the other shore. Thai Hua (1889-1947), a man of Chinese Buddhism at the beginning of the twentieth century, It was taught that: The practitioner is liberated like a person who wants to cross the river, he goes to the boat, but he is sitting there playing without boat, forever never sail to the other shore. This is a clever reminder for the Buddhist monks today, only interested in the first stage is to dig deep, study the script, the language of the script and then sleep in the forest of words that do not continue. The journey proceeds toward the river, for boat and rowing. This disease later in Vietnam's Dai Thi Hao Nguyen Du (1765-1820) has stated that: "Vajrayana verse versatile, midsummer denial," means: "Diamond read To thousands of times, which in the fuzzy as far away. Obviously, for us a lifetime of recitation, life preservation of Prajnaparamitra Tens of thousands of times, However, once the enlightenment that the Buddha taught in this sutra has not yet been realized, "the Bodhisattva of the Self-Awakened One, when contemplating the insight of the Prajnaparithm, then the five aggregates are zero, thus surpassing all Suffering affliction. " All of us suffering and tormenting ourselves in samsara are due to being trapped in the five aggregates of this five aggregates. That is the ultimate goal and no other path of the cultivator.

 

"Observation of the five aggregates is not" is to see the five aggregates of the five aggregates are not. The whole of the Prajñā sūtras is intended only for one of these sutras, to help one in seeing the source of all things, all things in this world, in the state of self-emptiness, without An entity is available, but has to borrow other fictitious factors to form.

The five aggregates are the five elements that make up the human body consisting of the body (mind) and mind (feeling, perception, volition and form).

1 / Aggregate: belongs to the body, only to the human form (eye, nose, ear, tongue, body), color also show raw material outside such as soil, water, mountains, rivers, grass Here, aggregates are our bodies, which are combined from the parent through four elements: earth, water, fire, wind (earth, water, fire, wind). The body is derived from hard substances such as bones, flesh, teeth, hair, hair, nails ...; Water (liquid) is liquid like blood, sweat, saliva ...; Room (wind) is the breath in and out; Fire is warm. Without one of these four factors, one will die and it is important that these four elements have none of them to master, we can not do it, it is out of our control, In combination with that, there is no certain self, so it is called aggregate, the aggregate is not.

2 / Aggregate: Concerned about mind, is feeling happy, sad, unhappy not sad. Self of emotions is not real, if we have fun, sad, or unhappy not sad to go through the contact of the green sense with green eyes, hearing ears, nasal smell, tongue smell Taste, body touch, sense of discrimination. For example, the ear listening to the song "Happy Buddha", we feel happy, but we sad when listening to the song "mind set white flowers", while listening to Beethoven's Sonata 32 piano concerto Have neutral feelings, unhappy, not sad. The feeling of joy, sadness and unhappiness, not sad does not really have to borrow the melodious music that it appears in our mind, so the Buddha said aggregates are not.

3 / perception of the mind: mind, perception, perception of all sounds, appearance around, reminiscence of the past, imagination of the present and future ... For example, the night we see the stone on the sidelines. The way it was thought to be a dog. Self aggregation is not real and always wrong because it is governed by memories of the past and the crazy idea of ​​present and future, so aggregates are not.

4 / Aggregate: Concentration, the psychological activities after the idea, there are two heavenly and artifacts. Turning is the flow of thought; To create 51 mental states, akusala and indifferent, such as pleasure, hate, attention, evaluation, determination, alertness. Being is the object that has created good and evil. It is thought that there is, and also depending on the conditions that arise, not real, so aggregates are not.

(5) Aggregate consciousness (8), distinct perception, such as good seeing, good or bad distinction, hearing ear, large or small distinctive sound, nasal odor, distinguishing Smell or smell, tasting tongue, distinguish salty or salty, touch body, cold or hot distinguish. Consciousness itself is not self-contained, but because six bases come in contact with the six new ceilings, the aggregates are not.

Through the analysis of the five aggregates as we do not see the aggregate is ours, and the five aggregates have no separate entity, no subject, so long we mistakenly think these five aggregates are true. There are then we ourselves cause suffering for ourselves and for people. In the Vajrayana Sutta, the Buddha also teaches the way of contemplation to help us realize the dhammas as:

"The most intangible micro-legal 
As dreamed of cellulite 
as the road to herons like 
electricity as the market"

Meaning contains:

The worldly belonging compounded 
As freezing winter night dream lobe 
As lie less sturdy furniture 
As water soluble foam take urgent. 
Like the shadow in the mirror must have 
As the dew drops sun 
As the lightning flash do not have 
such a new tri Truth.

Consciousness is such that the practitioner does not fall into suffering, anxiety, fear when impermanence comes. The general nature of the five aggregates is birth, death, impermanence, anatta, and suffering. So the Prajna Sutra was repeatedly told by the Buddha in various places mainly to destroy these five aggregates, the days when all sentient beings have not destroyed the wall of solidity of these five aggregates. Continuing the cycle of suffering and vice versa, once you understand the nature of the five aggregates is not real, you will be in the midst of life. The nature of dukkha, impermanence, and non-selfness of the five aggregates is a pivotal point that the practitioner must look out for, since suffering results from the fragility of the five aggregates, while the five aggregates are the constituent of the human being. With the predestined fate that has been fake, there is not really any "me" behind that person.

In the text of the Prajñā Sutra, the remainder follows the message of "The Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara in the Four Noble Truths of Prajnaparasitra, the discernment of the five aggregates, the fulness of the yoke," the denial All human conventions, practice, the level of attainment. With the words "No," the five words "Real" and the 14 words "Nothingness" of this sutra affirm that all things on earth are none. "No" here is not for the "yes" but "not" in the present, the eye can see, the hand can touch but its subject is still, it is not fixed, not real Yes, it is due to fake charm that has, despite that, but the instant break it immediately decay, so Prajna called self emptiness. For example, we wondered about the Toyota Camry we were driving, What is car? Who is the subject of the car? Steering is the subject? 4 wheels are the subject of the car? Is the tank the subject of the car? Is not the mechanic the subject of the car? ... All is not that this car is due to many factors, many conditions combined into a car, without one of the other hundreds, the car is not. Ever become. So is man, what is man? The human body is just the skin of the bones, head, body, arms, legs ... along with the feelings, thoughts ... So what we call the car, is human, just pretended Yes, that is "No". Thus, Bodhisattva Nagarjuna confirmed through the verse: So is man, what is man? The human body is just the skin of the bones, head, body, arms, legs ... along with the feelings, thoughts ... So what we call the car, is human, just pretended Yes, that is, No. Thus, Bodhisattva Nagarjuna asserted through the verse: So is man, what is man? The human body is just the skin of the bones, head, body, arms, legs ... along with the feelings, thoughts ... So what we call the car, is human, just pretended Yes, that is "No". Thus, Bodhisattva Nagarjuna confirmed through the verse:

"We multiplication coast being legal 
Nga ie market theory does not 
Diệc attendant list of 
herons middle market means 
than increasing the most useful measures 
Any spare predestined birth 
Thi necessarily legal incidents 
Infinite estate market is not fake"

That is: "France due to grace. So say dharma is not. No, it is false. Understands that middle way. There is no one, not from grace. So all dhamma, no law does not. In the highest Sutra, the Arahant also teaches how to break the five aggregates, such as: Like sponge, life like water bubbles, like wild horses, like banana trees and wake up like magic. " And the Buddha taught in the Prajnaparamitta. "The precepts are not general, regardless of birth, immortality, unconstrained, impure ... '', the general not of the French are not born, not kill, not clean, not clean ... Because it is not born, it does not disappear, it never changes. And what is birth is a temporary there, then disappear.

To stop the flow of samsara, you have to see that all things are non-prime, so that we do not get infected and suffering. For now because of misunderstandings and entanglement of everything is true, so we always dive into the three realms of the six paths, and when we are stuck in the body of these five aggregates it is dominated and exiled, , Bodhisattvas, the new Arahats are not bound by the five aggregates and bound. Therefore, in the Sutra, the Buddha proclaims: The opinion of generals, ie Tathagata, "meaning:" In this life what form is the fragile prospect. If the generals are not general, that is Tathagata. Non-Prime Minister or non-Prime Minister is only for the fake attributable there is, but not true, that is to see the general that saw the real Minister is to see the Tathagata. The Tathagata here is also indicative of yourself rather than Tathagata where far. From this teaching, the Zen master, Vinh Gia Huyen Giac, sang the song of singing as he realized inside the five aggregates that have the permanent mind,

"France body is the most 
vow of doctrine of self-nature of the Buddha's 
five aggregate foot Buddha nowhere near the 
toxic monster hydrothermal damage."

Mean:

French sense and then not an object, 
the source of the Buddha nature. 
Five warm virtual damage: Clouds over, 
Three orthogonal: foam lost. (Translation by Truc Thien)

This is another optimistic statement to allow the meditator to relieve the Bat Nha boat, because once the light of the Prajnaparamina, then we recognize the pure Dharma body itself in the false body. This temporary, then only see the dharmas are not free, charm is like illusory, see the five aggregates is the clouds gather in vain and see three toxic, pitch, si like bubbles on the water. Thi Hao Nguyen Du also expressed this spirit as follows:

Birth echoes such as cell photo 
There is a sentence that "the moon phase is not" 
Anyone who takes the Buddha's heart to 
escape in samsara ... "

Another key point of Prajna Heart Sutra is the breaking down of insight into the practice and the level of attainment of the practitioner, that "suffering, practice, kill, direct. ". According to the Mausoleum of the Indian Initiative, every living being has a Tathagata-like nature, usually silent, immortal, immortal, that is the Buddha-like legs, but due to interdependence with five aggregates, with 12 lands, With 18 genders should be ignorance led, led the way by greed, anger, delusion, suspicion, evil ants, which have reincarnation, suffering. Bodhisattva Ma Minh is compared to the sea, the nature of the water is like Lai, because of the wind of ignorance so the mind is waiting for the new wave of three peaches; Once the wind is calm, the calm sea is the same as the sea.

In short, due to defilement and ignorance that obscures the mind, human beings do not realize the nature of all phenomena is not, so it is infected, suffering and suffering. The Patriarchs teach us to cultivate the Prajñā Sutra each and every day in order to help us cultivate the seed of Bat Nha, living in the Prajna world, but living in the Prajna world, living in mindfulness with mindfulness. The mind is empty, clear, clear, often perceive every minute of this life is precious and mystery. Thanks to the light of the Prajnaparamita that our life deserves in every new moment, every step, every breath, we do not leave the foot like a real hero, we live with a spirit Selflessness, bringing love to people, lessening the suffering of people. Because of the clear light of the Prajnaparamassa, he abides in "the body is not", When the six senses come into contact with the six ceasings, they arise in the six consciousnesses, where one realizes that all things are non-prime, non-prime, not out of sight, and then zero, as soon as they see the existing things. It is not, then the practitioner is aware of mindfulness, but mindfulness is thoughtless, but mindlessness is nirvana, this is the final destination of the Buddha disciple. Devotions wish all practitioners soon to Bat Nha boat to pass to the other bank smoothly and safely.
