Mind is real heart.

  

Compassion is an indispensable living material in this world, people live with mettå, thereby purifying and transforming the intrigue of poisonous, harmful and harmless people. A spiritual practitioner, who cultivates from this world filled with love. Mankind will avoid the suffering caused by the spread of the mettà, so the world of less conflict, conflict, hatred and war will never be present.

There is a very famous artisan for his talent, but he is always annoyed by the desire to carve a statue of Buddha and the devil. In fact, he has not found the ideal model to fit his wishes, while thinking about finding a friend to go to the Buddha. He asked, where is the Buddha. The friend says go. A random chance he and his buddies to the temple, received by the abbot, with a solemn, calm and seemingly self-styled manner in life, appealed to the artist.

     When he met the monk for the first time, he happily offered to donate a large amount of money on condition that he modeled for him. The statue was done in a short time, who looked over admiring praise for the magnificent stately innocence. Those who are seen also kneel down bowing heart sincerely sincere. From then on, no one would call him an artisan anymore, calling him an icon.

   Next he prepared the devil's sculpture, but the shape of the devil where he was carved was a dilemma. It takes a long time to find the fiercest one, but no one has the look that pleases him. Finally, he found someone like him in prison, with murder for the death penalty. He was very excited to find a demon who is not easy, so when facing the death row to prepare the statue, prisoner crying roar like a ghost. The surprised man asked, afraid he was dead. Do you remember me, the first time the statue of the Buddha took us as a model, now carved statue also took us to model, why unjustly left the owner like this.

     You naturally turn us from the Buddha into the devil. The artisan said, why such a strange story, only for a short time. I pre-sculpted the statue of Buddha as a standard, with a divine style of escape, and he now look at his appearance, it is worth the devil too sky. He did not know that, because he previously offered us a large amount of money, so we can not control ourselves, so fun to be buried in drug addiction, in the end the money brought out. I for not tolerate the raging raging, so robbery robbery of others and robbery of murder, now subject to the death sentence waiting for the day of treatment. Now because of sadness, fear, regret of the network should not eat, can not sleep but this farm. The artisan heard the intricate presentation that felt emotionally choked,

     He lost his ears to the truth so overwhelmed, so no enthusiasm to work anymore decided to give up this occupation, so the devil statue unfinished. So to this day, no one knows exactly how the devil's condition is. Only know that if the mind thinking bad evil and act unconscionously harming people, harming things, causing suffering to the galaxy, the current evil. On the contrary, if the pure mind is pure without a flabbergasted or holy work to help people, save the Buddha, money, Buddha or ghost also from the bad thoughts of his own creation.

     The monk in the above story, thanks to the good master of good friends, should have the moral condition of the Buddhist monk, so that the good generals like the Buddha, but because he has achieved the Dharma. Take a tea room to make friends, and then be swept away by the stream and eventually end up suffering wild death waiting for the trial. Mind Buddha or ma only in one concept, if we gather the ghost mind, the ghost image, if we know the cultivation of seeds Buddha, the Buddha is everywhere. The mind or the ghost is created by oneself, without a powerful or miracle that makes us a Buddha or a ghost. In Chinese history there is a very interesting story about ghosts with Buddha. Su Dongpole one day went to Kim Son Pagoda to talk to the Indian Buddhist monk.

     The layman asked this Zen master, what do you see me like?

     Oh, he is very dignified, looks like a very Buddhist.

     Su Dongpo heard the feeling of excitement and great pleasure.

     Zen Buddhist layman asks new Indian, I like what he sees?

     He looks like a cow dung.

     The Zen master listened, but only smiled.   

      Asked sister, today he played chess meditation today?        

      No, this is important. He responded meditation. That old man has no reason to say, silent.

      Heard done, said his brother without knowing defeat. I lost my brother.

     Lost where, I say hear it.

     The mind of the teacher as Buddhist, so he looked like Buddha. My mind was like a cow dung, so the teacher looked like cow dung.

      Su Dongpo heard this as a shame, knowing that he understood meditation only on the tip of his tongue. Zen master is really Zen master.

      Meditation is not an understanding, but it must be applied to the reality of daily life. It is not good argument is that the wise mind of Su Dong Pha thinks that the smooth response is the realization of the meditation, but his mind is too much to see too much darkness, so the sewer overflows. The mind despise Zen master. No doubt I only understand meditation in dark knowledge, but dare to underestimate the galaxy. Indeed, Su Dongpo has blind eyes, thanks to her clever sister should cut him a lap, how much knowledge is falling all fall out.

    On the journey back to the land of Buddha, not everyone can easily live and live with yourself. We have ghosts, ghosts, ghosts see the sky is clear and the party does not hesitate. When you first give birth to a human nature that is good, when you start to grow in contact with life, it will develop in good or bad directions. Being close to the level of good knowledge, people can have a virtuous way of living in moderation and go in the right direction. Ma or Buddha right where a mind, clear mind is clearly discerned not deviant, and vice versa, see the running crazy crazy island idea. 

     To overcome the opposite of life, the Buddha must master the following principles to guide in life.

     Love is an endless source of comfort, helping sentient beings to cross the desolation of the river, but total worldly love is limited to small families or larger ones than to a country. We have a good friend to help people overcome the opposite of life is the word, compassion, joy, discharge. This friend is always close and close to us, just because we do not admit to forget it.

    Words mean happy, Bi is to save suffering. Compassion is to bring joy to and share the pain of humanity, equality does not discriminate the enemy resentment. This immensity is immeasurable, so it is not limited to man or to all things.

   In the poem of King Tran Nhan Tong, it is said to be contrary to life, like a cloud of wind. After giving up the throne to the children, he went up the mountain to feel the true joy, by letting go of life, his pure mind in mind that the song shelves:

        Must fall fruit in the morning.

        Cold favor with night rain.

        Blossoms of rain stopped still.

        Xuan still has a bird.

                                                  

     Life is always like that, never having moments of peace, all the way to the other, right, wrong, wrong, good, bad, Throughout the day, I am always there and always in my life. King Tran Nhan Tong, when he was still in the throne, had to deal with and deal with every day the trouble of the world, to live full enjoyment on the world, but the mind is busy. Busy worrying about all kinds of trouble in life.

    When I go to the monastery and feel happy, peaceful and relaxed, no longer absorbed by the flow of life and control, so his pure purity of mind is clearly aware of the real nature of life. If we do not see the true nature of it, all day sticking to it, and then cause more pain and suffering each other. He clearly see that the thoughts must be harassed, rather than lost, like the petals fall morning. Because of the nature of the flower is early blooming it is not true, see the harassment is the way of life, then we are attached to it to make more trouble. The mind is also cool in the rain.

     In life everyone is hoping for a great prestige in the society, has a reputation, power in the hands and interests are accompanied by, so it is hard to have enough courage to let go. But the Vietnamese Buddhist monk, Tran Nhan Tong, sees the throne as a torn slipper, dared to give up everything to climb the mountain. And we now have nothing, but just hold on to the responsibility and burn responsibility, blame at the .... It is too pitiful.

    Zen master when the fullness of life, see life as the leaves fall, there is nothing to worry anxiety should be ignorant, chronic, suspected, evil ants can no longer govern. But not come here all, not the wood, is not trivial, is not ignorant but:

              "The flowers are still empty,

               Xuan still has a bird.

     Remain the knowledge of wisdom, tri, but not nothing at all. This knowledge is still visible in the eyes, blue, red, yellow, but not distorted, distorted, how it feels like, so do not stick and Clinging to one thing, so good life, well. There is nothing to worry about to lead to suffering. The ears, nose, tongue, body and mind are the same. The teacher looked at life like that, peacefully how can this place money, fame, power buy it? When you are king, what is lacking, without true peace and happiness, how can you say so and dare to give up all the world power!

    He spent some time feeling the true doctrine and down the mountain, advising people to break the superstitious practices that make people lose control, freedom in life. He advised people should refrain from doing good, believe in good cause and effect, do good to enjoy the blessings, do evil to suffer, no one has the right to bless the harm, So we must have responsibility and duty, love and mutual help in the spirit of selfless selfless.

     To do so, the Buddha must vow to preserve the five virtues. Do not kill, do not steal, do not commit sexual misconduct, do not lie to people, do not drink alcohol and addicted to drugs and drugs and put harmful toxins into the body. Do not kill people and minimize the killing of animals. Especially the practices of killing animals to sacrifice spirits, sacrifice spirit. Do people love killing have compassion or not? Certainly not, no compassion, how to help the rescuers. The Buddha has opened for us the bright way to overcome the dark delusion, has not killed, killed, not loved, the Buddha must thoroughly understand this place to not be mistaken. Is not robbery robbery robbery so compassionate or not? Of course not. Property of wealth made by the effort of his hard, Stay up late at night and chiu to save each glass, but do not dare to eat wasted. One by one, everything is wearing a hat and why not be sad!

     Compassion is an indispensable living material in this world, people live with mettå, thereby purifying and transforming the intrigue of poisonous, harmful and harmless people. A spiritual practitioner, who cultivates from this world filled with love. Mankind will avoid the suffering caused by the spread of the mettà, so the world of less conflict, conflict, hatred and war will never be present. Drinking alcohol, addiction to drugs and using harmful substances to promote health, destroying human lucidity, is a serious disease of the 21st century. As such, many people use those things with compassion, or are destroying human life to the abyss. 

      It's one of the biggest problems that hurts the human world. The golden age of the Tran dynasty is an eloquent manifestation of the spiritual application of life, so people live together in a better understanding and love. There are no serious social evils like today, compassion is always accompanied by wisdom, can help human beings to escape dark ignorance in life. The true joy is to know, not to be reclaimed, completely unselfishly clinging to egoism, truly lasting and lasting.                     

    So how do we apply compassionate mind compassion? First of all, we all know that our loved ones are loved ones. Wounded, not complain, anger, hate, so we are easy to tolerate and tolerate. Every day, in the morning wake up we pray for all sentient beings to live in love and understanding, committed and serve, with selfless spirit. Every morning, noon, noon, noon should reflect and pray so our compassionate heart is growing.

    Second way to see everyone is their parents, usually everyone respects and loves their parents. So, all sentient beings are their parents, because it is difficult for parents to respond to the needs of the laborers so that everyone is so loving and respectful to their parents, so they do not cause anger and frustration. Suffering for one another. If all this life is the same, then there is nothing more happiness and happiness.

   It is difficult to cultivate compassion because it goes against the greed, anger, ignorance of all, so first we must learn the suffering of all sentient beings. We first learn to sympathize with our relatives first, then those who work together, then those who are unfamiliar with us, and the last of our hatreds who harm us and all our species. So gradually until such time as full. In order to do so, they must try to let go of the harm of the victims, open the heart of giving generosity, help sharing when meeting the difficulties and tribulations.

   Buddhism is the religion of compassion that always brings love to all beings and is willing to share the suffering, so that all sentient beings can cross the river of delirium. We wish you always bring cool water of compassion spread all over the world, so that all of us can live in love and understanding.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.
