Hand in hand is sweet candy  .
Hang is a familiar concept of spiritual practitioners. Tu means let go. But let go? Let go Let go when? Ai Buông? ... is the countless questions of the cultivator on the path of study.
When in the hands of the charcoal, the natural tendency is to release it immediately for fear of burns. The charcoal is for suffering. Ordinary people who find suffering often seek to eliminate it from their lives. In countless ways such as finding another situation, other "better" things cause suffering to decrease or disappear. In both cases just the way to escape or avoid suffering, not necessarily "let go the coal". Suffering in such cases as "kicking grass" can not be exhausted, only temporary deposition, security for a while,




Then when "kicked out the grass to grow greener, more". Like when the peace is finished, other suffering occurs, the mind is restless. Many people think that leaving home, children, house ... to the new temple is "really let go". Because in this life there are so many complex social relationships that make the mind fluctuate. Money is the pressure, the cause of the quarrel; The struggle to get rich makes people tired; Love is hopeless, or loss of faith, misunderstanding, causing people to be disappointed, broken ... Actually, that thinking is wrong without understanding the nature of the "coal". It is not in those things, in that situation, in that relationship, in that person, but in the perception of oneself. If suffering is a good lesson (cause, birth, annihilation ...), then there is no tendency to eliminate it. At that time suffering is eliminated. The charcoal is a good example, easy to know, "candy" is much more subtle. When what is holding is good, is diligence, achievement, especially achievement in practice, causing people to be very attached. The "hit", "the security", "the", the "to" makes the tendency to "hold" the same as the sweet candy, eat and try to eat, eat, want, not late. In meditation, when the mind reaches the "appointed point" a lot of yogis feel happy, then when meditation sees "light", "pride" or "image of the Buddha", then " Bill, clairvoyance, clairvoyance .. "the more likely it is that the meditator will happily wish to keep those moments, or extend as long as possible, Or expect higher achievement. The effect of these "sweet candy" is attached. Stick to the achievement is the sticky "sweet" hard to let go than many times the "charcoal", because of its subtle. In the area of ​​the Buddha said a lot about "fingers only moon", about "the boat brought us to the river." Even if the boat is beautiful, it is just a means. The moon is still the moon, even if you use your hand to indicate or use anything to describe it is still not the moon. It exists outside of definitions, introductions, interpretations - as well as the instructions of "fingers".Meditation is the way of life, the path that helps us to see the truth, to see that life is, not eliminated, or held. That life is all flowing around us including the body, the feeling, Mind, dharma Let go is the "whirring," the mind wants to become. Understanding it, whether it is a candy or a candy, it only feels the "red hot of the coal", "the sweetness of the candy" without being attached or dominated by it. Suffering is the same, happiness is the same. When in the "see only see", in the "hear only hear ..." absent the "I am cultivating, witnessing, meditating", then Tanh Know will know what to do, how, or say Another way is "self-tu". So let go but also have nothing to let go, no one let go then that is really real. Let go is the "whirring," the mind wants to become.Understanding it, whether it is a candy or a candy, it only feels the "red hot of the coal", "the sweetness of the candy" without being attached or dominated by it. Suffering is the same, happiness is the same. When in the "see only see", in the "hear only hear ..." absent the "I am cultivating, witnessing, meditating", then Tanh Know will know what to do, how, or say Another way is "self-tu". So let go but also have nothing to let go, no one let go then that is really real.  Let go is the "whirring," the mind wants to become. Understanding it, whether it is a candy or a candy, it only feels the "red hot of the coal", "the sweetness of the candy" without being attached or dominated by it. Suffering is the same, happiness is the same. When in the "see only see", in the "hear only hear ..." absent the "I am cultivating, witnessing, meditating", then Tanh Know will know what to do, how, or say Another way is "self-tu". So let go but also have nothing to let go, no one let go then that is really real.  Understanding it, whether it is a candy or a candy, it only feels the "red hot of the coal", "the sweetness of the candy" without being attached or dominated by it. Suffering is the same, happiness is the same. When in the "see only see", in the "hear only hear ..." absent the "I am cultivating, witnessing, meditating", then Tanh Know will know what to do, how, or say Another way is "self-tu". So let go but also have nothing to let go, no one let go then that is really real.  Understanding it, whether it is a candy or a candy, it only feels the "red hot of the coal", "the sweetness of the candy" without being attached or dominated by it. Suffering is the same, happiness is the same. When in the "see only see", in the "hear only hear ..." absent the "I am cultivating, witnessing, meditating", then Tanh Know will know what to do, how, or say Another way is "self-tu". So let go but also have nothing to let go, no one let go, then that is really Buong. "Candy sweetness" without being attached or dominated by it. Suffering is the same, happiness is the same. When in the "see only see", in the "hear only hear ..." absent the "I am cultivating, witnessing, meditating", then Tanh Know will know what to do, how, or say Another way is "self-tu". So let go but also have nothing to let go, no one let go, then that is really Buong. "Candy sweetness" without being attached or dominated by it. Suffering is the same, happiness is the same. When in the "see only see", in the "hear only hear ..." absent the "I am cultivating, witnessing, meditating", then Tanh Know will know what to do, how, or say Another way is "self-tu".So let go but also have nothing to let go, no one let go, then that is really Buong. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.18/7/2017.
