Keep silence.

At one time, the Buddha in the Shrine, in the United States, lecture for the gods listen. At that time, in La Duyet Ky, two new monks wanted to meet the Buddha.

Between the two countries there is a large copper, no inhabitants, and meet deadlines so the streams are dry. Two people passing thirst, only meet small puddle, but see the whole species, can not drink. The two newcomers to each other: "We are far from looking forward to admire the  Buddha,  do not expect death today thirst in the middle of the road. Someone said: "Well, let's drink temporarily from death, so to meet the Buddha. Besides, I drink no one knows. The other replied: " The Buddhist law  prohibits drinking water is identical, it is the root cause. If you kill living beings, you will find no use for the Buddha. It is better to keep the precepts of death, not the precepts.

The first person to drink water for thirst and go to the Buddha in. The second person refuses to drink, so he has to die from thirst but is born into heaven. Thanks to the thought should know themselves in the previous life to keep the precepts should be born Thien, it is due to strong faith should not be so far away. Think about it, and bring flowers to the Buddha and stand on one side. Those who drink water must be very hard to spend many days to the Buddha. Seeing the great monk honored, the other bowed and bowed crying cry: "I also have friends who want to see Buddha, unfortunately in the middle of the road, dare to wish the Buddha."

The Buddha  replied: "I have already seen", took the hand of the forerunner standing next to him and said: "This prophet is your friend, who for the whole  commandment  should be born in the heavens and meet me before you ".

Then the Blessed One pointed to the other man and said: "You see me, but do not keep my  precepts  , when you see me I do not see you. The man who is away from me thousands of miles but still keep the precepts, his time standing before me.

In the Diary,  the Buddha  once said: "Gender is the master of the teacher, if I have in life, is not the same gender.

The role of the precepts in Buddhism is very important and the foundation of the Dharma. Buddhists need to understand this importance in order to avoid being wronged. The meaning is as follows: About (Sila) "room not only evil", that is to prevent all the wrong, stop only evil, do all good. Gender is  the Buddha  made, he based on the practical situation of society and the duty of man that prescribes the precepts. Consequently,  the precepts  of human nature represent a comprehensive morality and enable mankind to progress fast on the path of liberation.

Because of the important nature and great practical benefits of the world,  the Buddha,  when listening to the disciple who lived in the spirit of precepts, He often calls to find out, then explain and punish severely.

In addition, the precepts of  Buddhism  are the foundation of a harmonious world in which human beings truly live as human beings, not animals. Keeping precepts is also the focus of our spiritual practice. Buddhists only need to keep the five precepts : no killing, no stealing, no sexual misconduct, no lying and no use of stimulant to lose mindfulness. So, as Buddhists, we have to preserve the five precepts for wealth and to improve our lives simply and purer, so that our soul will be purified from it Peace, clarity and peace.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.8/4/2018.
