About the Buddha.

)

About like a bright light or break the dark, dim. About as strength or standing up what has fallen. About as the light of wisdom or the transformation of sorrow, suffering. Gender is a remedy for curing pain in life.

- Do not directly kill the object, inciting others to kill or cheerfully agree to see another person killed. A person who has a mortal mind can not meditate, because in the worst evil kamma is the crime of killing. The killer and the father of the father can not meditate. To meditate on the good results, we have to give up the killing, because when we kill the eye, the headache is painfully wounded, the seed is collected in the conscious, long time we see the cry cry cry. in debt.

- People kill more or worry, fear, insecurity, so in the mind is always upset, uncomfortable. At home because family, relatives should work to earn income, still have to eat salt to be healthy enough to contribute to, serve; but should eat salty under Tam Tran (do not directly kill, do not incite people to kill, not happy to agree to see other people kill). 

We have the right to buy prepared or cooked fish meat, if you buy the meat is available for inspection, do not buy rotten food depending on the experience of each person. A person who kills or harms a living being causes no compassion, so it is difficult to meditate on good results.

- Space robbery, take the property of other people. Theft is sneaky, robbery is openly taken. Want to meditate that in mind to calculate how to get someone else's certainly never peace of mind. Theft robbery fruit life imprisonment and poverty, deprivation. Therefore, people in the family meditation but also this disease of greed, selfish too much, so can not achieve the results as desired.

- Sexuality is also the same, because heavy sex love to love flowers, so always try to find the way to enjoy sex pleasure. In order to do this, the adulterers must lie "I am not happy" or "I am forced", so as to make the other person believe. 

Greed, deceiving for your own enjoyment is the most common bad habits of man. Despite the beautiful wife but still want to earn more, still love the strange to prove the ability to conquer. Newspapers have also reported the giants paid for sex with some models, Miss too high amount of money in a relationship. The idea of ​​my husband, my wife, seven years is the practice of respect for male contempt from the feudal age. 

There are too many women and not so much he has lived long. So we want to practice meditation with good results, we must abstain from sexual activity by living together in monogamy. People who are too sexual are less likely to have mental health problems, so it is difficult for them to meditate.

- People who lie to deceive or harm people are also difficult to meditate because the mind is always calculated than lost, seeking to reduce people. The heart is not upright, or think of the wildness as loudly, lied to deceive, bragged, said the words severely curse the angry heart, hostile content in the heart. It is difficult for people to meditate well. Therefore, want to meditation to achieve results must let go of defilement greed - anger, must keep the precepts do not lie to people or say bad words, curse insults.

- Drinking alcohol or using drugs, eating toxic goods, smoking drug addiction, the more can not meditate because of mental confusion, body insecurity, no sense of self-control. When we consume too much of it, it damages the body, the sickness, the delusion, the hysteria; harming oneself, harming family, relatives and society. Such people always find ways to deceive others, if the money is spent on it. 

Families who have such people will suffer extreme suffering because of their own sorrows and their families and relatives. If you do not have money, then you must steal, deceive others in any way. A society with so many people before will also dissolve the ruined door, country of turmoil, ethical moral crisis to lose people. 

The only way to help addiction is to live in social isolation, be guided spiritual morality to believe in cause and effect, to create jobs in place, simple living, The In the absence of society, many mental health centers and detoxification centers are to be built to accommodate these people, and eventually the prison will be expanded to accommodate many deceivers, robbers, idleness, idleness. . 

Nowadays, the society is only temporarily treated on the top so it is expensive, loss, loss too much; To help the world reduce social evils only the only way to guide people to believe in fruitfulness, good sowing good fruit, good sowing bad fruit reap. 

Our country is in the momentum of comprehensive development in all aspects, if people are not aware and have genuine knowledge, only the material benefits outside. In the present context, we are living with environmental pollution, degradation of cultural products, food contamination of food and drinks, most of us use harmful chemicals. due to the need for life. 

Functional authorities should limit the licensing of some harmful activities such as pubs, bakery villages, dance halls ... are mushrooming without limited time. The educational establishment is not suitable for human understanding, so there is no good combination between studying, working and cultivating spirituality. The change, development, expansion is good but must be based on intellectual level, if development so fast will cause people not to catch up, to counteract and harm again. Having complete material facilities without the spirit of wise, genuine knowledge, it is extremely dangerous to put people into the pit of sin.         

According to our understanding, people want to live in love, support each other in the spirit of selfless, understanding and forgiving, tolerant and generous, or sharing and uplifting with humanity. In life, we first have to believe in causality, the cause and effect always follow us as the shadow with the picture, even if hundreds of thousands of lives do not lose, when the full satisfaction of the results. I believe my mind is the Buddha, diligently try to do good, let go of the mind of evil deeds. I believe myself capable of doing everything in the world without pleading, asking for a certain authority. I am the master of the blessings of happiness.

In the past, when we do not know how to cultivate evil thoughts, words arise, leading to killing ourselves, stealing, cheating others; Now I know how to think and then think good things, mouth speak words of love, true, live tolerance, help others. We just need to change our perceptions, the bad karma will slowly change in the right direction, but we must be persistent, persistent, do not hurry to become greedy. 

New meditation only a few years that want to have immediate results can not be because of countless lifetimes when not learned how much we learned how many bad habits; Now know that only need to persevere, long lasting, anything can be done; For example, as dusty bright mirrors, we just need to clean the dust of greed, greed, jealousy, jealousy, selfishness, ignorance of human substances until the dust is gone. shining.

The meditation that we are guiding here is going to family and social life. One who wants to live well does not harm anyone but right now he has to cultivate righteousness to return to his own spirituality. myself. Buddha Shakyamuni after meditation achievement has been taught 49 years not tired, boring because he does not see who is the enemy but only people who do not sympathize with each other. Although the harm people all the way but the Buddha is not sad but also love them more because he has lived with pure mind. People who do not know meditation when encountering bad things will find ways to take revenge so the cause of the loan, payday loan no end.

- To recite the breath or know not to follow or recite the Bodhisattva Buddha, ear attention to listen to each one clearly, so not to lose heart, so easily centered. Meditator meditation for a while, thanks to mindfulness should lead to full-blown, only hear the sound recite the Bodhisattva Buddha clearly. Practitioners here have been destined to mind the recitation of the Bodhisattva Buddha.

- If there is no intellectual property, then can not let go of defilement and ignorance - help and share with people. Therefore, the second step is to practice meditation. "Quan" means to examine, investigate, illuminate the body and the situation to find the truth - of it. 

First, you observe the body to see whether there is "true self" or not; Then meditate on the mind, thinking is real or not; Next is to observe all phenomena, things in this world to see whether or not. When observing such a practitioner, we find all due to the harmony of harmony, that is, there is no fixed entity, so the body and mind, the situation is impermanent, thus letting go of the old mind. This body of mind is "true self."

Meditation only and Meditation must be mutual, sometimes meditation practitioners only to stop thinking, sometimes when using meditation to generate wisdom to know the truth. There is no intellectual property called "si determination", there is no knowledge that the idea of ​​life expectancy whirring.

- When the meditator meditates in all circumstances and has been concentrating and generating wisdom, to the period of maintenance of sense, the refuge in the eyes is clearly seen not mistaken, seen only but not attached to seeing. the mind is pure, clear; Just like a dusty dusty mirror, now the dust is gone, so the mirror lights up again. 

At this stage, the practitioner gradually transforms the gas, the habit of many lives left until the moment of complete realization, the mirror is completely clear, not defective. Tai sound is heard, there is no sound heard. All sounds are loud and small but they do not stick to any sound, so the accomplished yogi is listened to. Nose - tongue - body - also. At this stage, one does not need to concentrate on the Self or the Quan, but only to clearly identify one's own thoughts, how it is like knowing that the idea of ​​self-dissolution into nothingness.

After reciting the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva or contemplating the breath of life and not knowing that it is pure meditation practice, we use the method of contemplation - meditation review, where the body, the situation; Thus, the practitioner knows the truth of the dharmas, so it is easy to let go of the mind of the "self" and the external situation; so that living with clear mind, clear, not clean.

For this, the Bodhisattva must master the great wisdom to transform darkness, ignorance and live with wisdom, reflexes in the eyes of unmistakable hearing, seeing just hearing, hearing is just hearing, nose - tongue - body-mind is the same again; From this, generates great compassion for the salvation of sentient beings, without giving them the gift of giving and giving.

Meditation is only the first step to concentrate the monkey consciousness itself, we are used to run the other end of the head, want to calm the mind, must focus on the Bodhisattva Buddha, or mind breathing Do not follow, focus on all the posture - standing - lying - sitting, so slowly slowly promoted the other obscenities. Meditation is only a long time will arise static, but the seat here will forever become silent because there is no intellectual can not adequately solve the afflicted.

Meditate to see the essence of mind and body. Through consideration, contemplation, we see this body is not real, because the four soil - water - wind - fire composed by the father, mother blood with the consciousness a sentient beings. If this body is damaged as a constant change, because it is supposed to grow old - sick - died. Then we have to borrow food to feed ourselves, borrow money and then pay out, as if all the borrowed out, until the borrowed no longer life is terminated. But death is not the end, death is just a change of form, if in this life we ​​do not know how to correct the moral to live a moral virtue and help others, it is difficult to have a chance to make people come back when lost this body.

The Buddha has a broader vision and understanding, and through his two overproductive ways, he knows how to find the middle way, to help himself perfect, to uphold, to share, so that everyone together achieve peace, happiness in the present life.

Therefore, who knows meditation will live a peaceful life, happiness in the present and tomorrow. Who do not know how to meditate when the blessing will come to pay bad results, at this time even repentance is too late. "It's like a new 100 year-old turtle pops up in the ocean, to find the bubbles in the water." Likewise, if we do not know how to cultivate the blessings in the present life, it is difficult for us to be reborn. 

The layman must try to meditate in four postures until the mind is completely dissolved, the mind must be disturbed, over lost, sad, angry, quiet but quiet, pure new real peace of mind. Actually, it is not like that, the monk abandoned the concept of gas turbines to focus on one thing, but not to fool.

When working as well, if you let go of all the talk, focus, focus on work, the results will be better. The more we let go, the more naturally, the clear things should appear very clear, clear. We try to revisit when we mess this thing, the other to rush to the first to forget, forget later, there is no end. Then we just meditate, focus a little will remember clearly, so many people begin to practice meditation. Many people say do not remember anything but the time to meditate remember to think about the whole story.

Do not meditate at no time should this concentration the other himself overlap should not mind, calm the mind while meditating, so we know clearly remember all sorts of things. Back then we forgotten unknown applications meditation on life should find it difficult to cultivate, now initiates should sit back clearly see every wandering injured hate incurred but not cling follow, only to see them clearly, then automatically we We do not need to chase or counter what.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.7/4/2018.
