Buddhist dialogue with A-nan on the Mind. .

• The Buddha asked  Ananda  , "In my teachings, what do you admire?
• A nan: "Because seeing the Buddha has  32  extraordinary good,beautiful child born in the heart of love and devotion to the family."
• "He said:"  Because you see the 32 good generals of the Buddha, born of fame , so what you take to see, and get something to admiration? "
• A-nan said: "You look for eyes and use the mind of fans."
• Buddha asked, "he said,  taking the eye to see and the fans attention , so he knows the mind and the eyes are not in place?
• He wondered how far many lives being Prince  of samsara , as well as the mind and eyes! If he does not know where he is, he will never be in  trouble  and naked. Like the king, the invaders invaded, the soldiers removed, if you do not know where to live where the enemy can not be eliminated. "
• A-nan said: "White gold, not only understand, but all  beings  also give  eyes on the face, but the heart in the body ."
• Buddha asked: "He sat in the lecture hall, first he saw something and why he saw the trees outside the garden?"
• Ananda said: "Buddha, I sat in the auditorium, before saw  Buddha and monks  increased , and by opening the door, so I looked out and saw the trees, the scenery outside."
• Buddha asked: "Does anyone sit in the house, not see things in the house, but see the scene outside?"
• A-nan said: "White iron, who sit in the house, but do not see the things in the house, to see the scene outside is not reasonable."
• Buddha said: "His heart too, if it is in his body, it must first see the heart, liver, intestines, lungs or nails, long hair, tendons, motions in, then after the eye opening As well as people sitting in the lecture hall, first to see the Buddha with them and the things in the lecture hall, then after looking out, to see the mountains, rivers, forests etc. So there Who in front of the heart, liver, intestines, lungs in the body, and later see the objects outside? If not, he said:  mind in the body  is absurd.
• A-nan Buddha: "According to the theory, I understand: mind outside the body, because if in the body, why not see the objects inside, but only see the scene outside. So you know the mind outside of your body, just like a burning lamp outside your home, so you can not light it in the house.
• Buddha asked Ananda: "His mind, if outside the body, his body and mind do not stick together, so when the mind knows, the body must not know, when the body knows, the mind must not know. Like the  monks , because the body is different, so when we eat boys, teachers can not be satisfied. So he tried to see my arms here, while the eyes (body) he just saw, his mind has. Did you know? "
• A-nan said: "Lord, while the eyes have seen, the mind immediately distinguish."
• Buddha asked: "If his eyes just see, his mind immediately know, his body and mind can not leave each other. So he said:  mind outside the body  is not."
• A-nan said: "The Buddha said:  mind is not in the body, because it is not visible inside, nor outside the body, because the eyes just see, Do not leave each other.According to this argument, then I understand: the mind hides in the eyes, as well as the eyes of the glasses, so only see the scene outside, without seeing the inside.
• Buddha asked Ananda: "If you hide in eye care, as well as eye glass holders; so I ask:  who wear glasses when they saw the scene, they saw the glass to bring that? "
• A-nan said: "Lord, can see."
• Buddha asked: "If your mind is like the eye of a person who carries a mirror, then why can the wearer be able to see the goggles, and his mind not see his eyes? If his body, mind is apart, then how can his eyes see, his mind can distinguish? If his mind can not see the child, then his eyes will be seen, it must be outside his body. His eyes, such as the eye of a person wearing glasses, so he said: The  mind is hidden in the eye, like the eyes of people who carry glasses behind the glass is not.
• A-nan said: "Lord, now I think: Close your eyes to see the dark, is the heart found in the body (liver intestines), thanks to gifted, empty vent (the sense) I see the scene outside the body. Do not know this meaning is true?
• Buddha asked Anan: "He said:  Close your eyes see the dark is found in the body So when you see the dark, does that night face him? If darkness is not in front of the eyes, then the meaning is not. Against the eyes, the dark is foreseen, why do you say in? If he shows darkness in the body (liver gut), when in the dark house there is no light, he saw that night, is also his liver gut? Again, if you close your eyes, you see that in the body, open your eyes to see the light outside the body, so why can not you see the face? The face outside, he opened his eyes do not see, when the eyes are dark, how sure to see in the body? If he could see his face, the eye with his understanding, should be outside his body. If the mind and the eye are outside the body, then it is not your own mind. If you give your mind, your eyes (apart from your body) are also your grandfather, so now you see his face, Then this is also the mind, your eyes? Again, while his eyes knew, his body also did not know, when his body knew, his eyes would not know (because he took it apart). If you both know, then you have to have two known (mind), so when practicing fruit, he will become two Buddhas? So you know: It is not visible in the body  nor in the body . "
• Ananda said: "Buddha, I often hear the Buddha taught the four:  Do your mind, so the  law  is born. Because of all that arises, so the mind is born . Now I think, the  thoughts  that my heart, according to the harmony of any place, the mind immediately followed that there is, not inside, outside and middle. "
• Buddha asked Ananda: "He said the  harmony of any combination, the mind immediately followed that  so his mind is not real. If his mind is not physically (ie not) then take What is it that harmony? It also has the form, then he try to hit his left hand through the left hand, he immediately knows the pain.Then this painful mind, is from the body ran or from outside to run? :  it comes from the body in the body , first it must see the intestines in the body of him, but if it comes from outside nowhere, it must first see his face.
• A-nan said: "The eye is seen, the mind knows;"
• Buddha said: "The eyes see , that is not it."
• The Buddha asked: "If the eye sees the dead, the eye is still, why do not they see the object? If the dead, but still see the object, then why call the dead? Is there a body or body, all over his body, or not all over his body? If his mind is one body, and all over his body, then when he tries to test a place on his body If the whole body knew the pain, then the pain would have been absent. , he said:  the mind one can and throughout the whole body  is not. and speaking  his mind more able they become many; So which one is your mind? If his mind is not in his body, he touches his head at the same time, and then touches his foot, then if he knows the pain, his right foot does not know, and his leg is painful, his head must not know. But in fact, both of his head and legs knew pain. So he said:  according to the unity of the place, the mind that is  not that also.
• Anan White Buddha: "I listen to the Buddha together with Mr.  Manjushri ... when discussing the  truth  ( mind chong ), Buddha taught that  mind is neither in nor out . "Why do not you know the inside?" And the mind outside, the mind knows the pain, so the  mind is in the middle. "
• Buddha asked: "You say the  mind is in the middle , so the  middle  is the body or the scene, if it is in the middle of the body at the same time as in the body, as said before. the intestines and lungs in. As in the scene, can be mentioned (the middle), or can not be listed? If not, then the bronze is not available; As if he were taking the tree in the center, if he was in the east, he would see the tree in the west, and the man in the south would see the tree in the north. The tree was not fixed in the middle, so his mind must not be buried indefinitely.
• A-nan said, "I say  the middle is  not two places, as the Buddha often says:  eye to  color , born  consciousness . , the central being, that is the place of the mind. "
• Buddha asked:   Whether he was born in the center of the mind or not, or not, is composed of both. If the two include, the  base  with  the flickering scene (the base does not become, the scene is not the scene, as well as know not know). But the scene is not perceptual, but the base is perceptive, the two opposing the other, so take the middle seat. As if it did not include both the faculty and the scene, the mind was not real. So what to do in the middle? So you have to know: You say  mind in the middle  is not.
• A-nan said: "The Buddha, the day before when I saw Buddha together with  Mahatma Kien Lien ,  Tu Bodhi  etc. say, the Buddha taught that:  mind understanding, not in the body, not in no body, not in the middle, not in any place, not attached (in front of) all  that is called the mind, so now you take that  do not attach  to the mind, do not know whether or not?
• Buddha asked: "He said:  take the unattached all  do care. So I asked him: all material objects in this world, yet are nowhere-not, so-gender, birds flying in the sky, the fish swim below water, etc. So are the objects that you do not attach (before) or not, but you do not attach? If the objects are not there, like turtle hair, rabbit horn: it was not, what time that attachment. If there is something  not attached  , he can not say  no attachment is . For what formlessness is not, and something that the Prime Minister was there. If there are forms must be  attached So he said:  do not stick to all the mind  is not. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONSTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.17/4/2018..
