Ignorance is afraid.

  

Humans are so happy, always want to be happy, happy but love to make others suffer. In the Buddhist scriptures, "the monks, if you have three snakes poisoned in, then you can sleep well then you can not?" "Luminous world, we do not sleep well. The Buddha said, "How can you sleep well?" The whole assembly said, "As long as we can get rid of the poisonous snakes from the house, we can sleep well." "Yes, as long as you chase the three snakes out of your house to sleep peacefully; But these three poisonous snakes are not poisoned by the three greed, anger and delusion. Snake poison only bites to death of this body, and greed-san-samsara created samsara, suffering in countless lifetimes do not know when to stop. So for that, The Buddha when the first spiritual development must eliminate the three is greedy-tham-an. We cultivate the desire to transform defilement, suffering into happiness and happiness, but greed-illusionism is not possible.

Made people in heaven and earth want to be happy and happy, no one wants to suffer. This world everyone wants to be happy from the kings, the authorities to the poor people trying to farm. Yet people are contradictory, on the one hand, to nourish afflictions; On the one hand, I want to find happiness and happiness. But how to have real happiness here? What is happiness, what is affliction? Happiness according to worldly people is to eat and enjoy the feeling of pleasure to enjoy the body, want to work to earn money to support the body and family. That is why human beings must be greedy, selfish, seek to collect, store all things for themselves; Attempts are deliberately conservative, conservative; Do not give birth, sorrow, suffering; From that arise defilements that we temporarily call "hung god afflictions".

 So what is the god of afflictions? It is said that its cruelty is too cruel, and everyone who hears is terrified because it does not give up on anyone. It is the source of suffering of all sentient beings, the root of human security. "Hung" is brutal, violent and fierce, the attitude, acts of harming people, cruel and cruel. According to the polytheistic tradition, there are many gods to be managed within the scope of their activities, such as the god of evil, god of evil, god of gods, god of the land, god of the mountains, god of the river, etc. Evil, brutal always hurt people and things. According to the Han language, "trouble" is fire, fire is hot, thus making the body uncomfortable. What makes us angry, resentment, scowl, irritability and dissatisfaction called "trouble". Brain is mentally disturbed. In general, affliction is sadness, sorrow, uneasiness, frustration, Body and spirit. In short, the god of affliction is a vicious, evil spirit that always causes all sentient beings suffering from one life to another without end.

Humans are so happy, always want to be happy, happy but love to make others suffer. In the Buddhist scriptures, "the monks, if you have three snakes poisoned in, then you can sleep well then you can not?" "Luminous world, we do not sleep well. The Buddha said, "How can you sleep well?" The whole assembly said, "As long as we can get rid of the poisonous snakes from the house, we can sleep well." "Yes, as long as you chase the three snakes out of your house to sleep peacefully; But these three poisonous snakes are not poisoned by the three greed, anger and delusion. Snake poison only bites to death of this body, and greed-san-samsara created samsara, suffering in countless lifetimes do not know when to stop. So for that, The Buddha when the first spiritual development must eliminate the three is greedy-tham-an. We cultivate the desire to transform defilement, suffering into happiness and happiness, but greed-illusionism is not possible.

Desire other desire

There are two types of wants that everyone can be dominated by desire and desire. What is desire? Is determined to want to be, if not then dissatisfied, angry, uncomfortable; Sorrow, arrogance arise and seek expropriation. Therefore, the more desire, the more the defilements of lust for wanting without the will, if possible, the more greed, the more ignorant, then give birth to anger, disgust and then seek revenge.

As we all know, few in this life live without desire. There is life there is desire, but desire more or less is according to each other's preferences only. Greed means greed, selfishness, petty, anything you want to bring back to your own, even if it is in order to decay, not dare to help someone. Desire means hope, dream, if there is also, no also okay. Desire and desire different in that place, one way to be able to be, if not, then angry, resentment, seeking to retaliate and determined to appropriating themselves should be moral ethics, sometimes also To kill people to satisfy greed. In this life we ​​have the right to dream, the desire not to desperately desire to hurt each other.

The greed of death in the wild si

There are two close friends a brother named, a guy named Co, family very poor, needy. One day, two people heard rumors of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara are coming to the South is very responsive, anyone who wishes to do anything to be satisfied. They are happy because they lived in poverty, shortage, difficulties, now the Bodhisattva of salvation should hurry to arrange the house and towel pack together on the road. On the way, he accidentally picked up his baggage and dropped it and opened it. It is very unexpected, in the baggage is full of gold as the two he dazzled the eyes, the Bodhisattva is not too enthusiastic. The two of them stopped at a nearby desert shrine and rested together, "we collect gold is thanks to the Bodhisattva inspiration shows, now we have to buy something to pay homage, he stayed cleaned The temple is clean, and I go to the market to buy things. Brother Fair duty to go shopping to buy gifts for the holidays, he Together stay clean the shrine. On the way to the market, he suddenly began to desire too much desire, thinking himself old family is too poor, if the two halves of gold know as long as the loss of half, if the full gold is available You can build a high-rise home to let your children live in full shelter, and then start a business. So thought so he immediately bought a packet of poison into the food and then happily returned to the temple. Then open a trading company then it will definitely be rich. So thought so he immediately bought a packet of poison into the food and then happily returned to the temple. Then open a trading company then it will definitely be rich. So thought so he immediately bought a packet of poison into the food and then happily returned to the temple.

Unbelievably, he was in the process of cleaning up too much greed is desirable to take all the gold. He actively sought a large tree and hid behind the shrine waiting for Mr. Ban to die. He did not know the scourge coming so he smiled happily in the belly, just go singing clam clam clam; Just returned to the shrine to say nothing has been beaten to death some dead right in place. The gold is now lying in his hands Together, he even cups the wine and ready to go home after not late; Any alcohol poisonous meat, gold has not been taken out of the ancient celestial. Two people because of excessive lust that eventually suffered a terrible death. Unfortunately! Human network is too fragile, because of the little gold that we burdened buried quality, his moral personality in ignorance, darkness; For too much greed that two people died in one place, not bring anything.

From the concept of original thoughts that right where we know how to master when in the water, to stop at that moment, what to do something unfortunate happened. If you know each other's life to share each other to feed the family how good, now both are overly greedy that carry karma killers, robbery; One in two, if alive, is lightly handled under the law for 20 years until the death penalty. After all, the gold does not see, only two people buried deep buried under the grave. But not so dead as they are, they also suffered many lives were killed again. If you are a human being, you will suffer from sickness, premature death, later life will be shortage, unhappiness and poverty due to the economic life and loss of loved ones and disadvantaged families. No one nurtured. If the deceased is the main laborer in the family, he must raise his wife and raise his children, the result of the murder is that many births are abandoned, wandering, poor and miserable; More than that, killing people is depriving their lives of their destructive cause so many generations after the perpetrator often fail.

Greed or selfishness is a bad habit that is ingrained in the minds of every being, and everyone wants to hold onto their part so they do not dare to share it with others. Greedy people always shrink because of their own selfishness, wanting to possess, should exhibit despicable behavior, as in the case of the two poor, for their excessive desires, which eventually lose their lives.

The lesson of life

The story of Mr. Bai and his brother together is a practical lesson in life for greed, even if it is just a drop, say nothing of money, wealth we create. People because of greed, the desire of all things, want to be high authority, want to be rich in wealth, want to be beautiful wife good children, want to live long to enjoy, all that want Driven by excessive greed. We do not know that, want to have many assets, must know gift, donation or help, share when meeting people unhappy, difficult; Not to be robbed or robbed by others; You need to work diligently, to save money in the right place. These are the causes of wealth in the present and in the future. Many people do not want to sow good seeds but reap good fruits, Try asking how. When desire is satisfied, the more the greed, the more pride, the more ten, the less ten, the less prized; When there are then afraid of loss should try to find ways to keep, so always live in anxiety, fear; When desire is not like mind, the mind of anger, affliction, blame all things, leading to not own the self to act evil evil, scolded, beat, seek to misuse the wrong person. Finally bring the body into the body.

Today's world is always a war, the killing of each other is by robbery, murder that out. Man appropriates resources for his own benefit, takes no chances, seeks punishment, suppresses one another in many forms, eventually provoking resentment with no end. Because ignorance of the self is the "true" should want things to their own will, we do not know all phenomena, things in the world happen under the law of causation. Personality and grace are the result, lack of personality and grace can not bear fruit. Currently, the majority of the poor because of difficulties, need to be rich to buy tickets, raffles, gambling, looking forward to getting rich; But the poor are poorer, because the rich do not see, only the more debt, In the end, the poor do not do good things fall into ruined door leading to prison. Present poor because many previous generations do not know how to sow generous donation, offering or not help, sharing when meeting the needy, difficult, unhappy. We do not sow the wealthy people, but want to have a lot of money that is impossible in the present and in the future.                      

But why are there many people who are poor and needy and still win the jackpot and become rich. Is it the god, the gods or not? According to the law of cause and effect, now who is rich is due to many generations ago had planted blessings such as generosity, donation or help others when encountering difficulties. The good and the bad we have sown, even if hundreds of thousands of lives will never be lost, when qualified will produce results depending on the coast sooner or later. Who this life do as well as the less that failure is due to the good virtue of past euphoria, when meeting the conditions of self-sufficient results. Our life is an endless cycle of samsara, not death, but a change of form according to the good and bad karma of each person. This change of form takes place continuously, Laced from the past and will continue to recur in the future. Tham-an-si is considered to be the three greatest defilements of a human being, so we need to practice to transform into happiness and happiness right here and now. Snake poison only bites to die one body, tham-angered si-human beings continue to suffer mischief in the sea of ​​suffering no end.

We respectfully admonish everyone to be mature thinking, reflecting to see the harm of greed-and-enlightenment that tries to practice to transform suffering, happiness, joy and happiness right here. and now. 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.20/7/2017.
