Set the mind in the right direction.

)

Today, many people, but the achievement of the sage is not much. Therefore, "to set the mind in the right direction" is also one of the important issues that every Buddha should meditate and adjust to overcome the defilements, spiritual sublimation, achievement of liberation, Nirvana.

At one time, the Blessed One stayed in Sàvatthi, in Jetavana, teaching bhikkhus:

- For example, bhikkhus, whiskers of wheat, or barley whiskers are misplaced, when the hands or feet are pressed, may puncture the hands or feet, or may shed blood; This situation does not happen. Why? Be bhikkhus, because the beard is set in the wrong direction. Likewise, bhikkhus, the bhikkhu with the mind set in the wrong direction, may pierce through ignorance, proving the arising, can attain Nirvana; This situation does not happen. Why? O bhikkhus, the mind is set in the wrong direction.

- Beasts, such as whiskers of wheat, or whiskers of barley are placed in the right direction, when the hand or foot presses, may puncture the hands or feet, or can cause bloodshed; This situation has occurred. Why? Be-bhikkhus, since the beard is set in the right direction. Likewise, bhikkhus, the bhikkhus with the mind set in the right direction, can penetrate the ignorance, proving the arising, can attain Nirvana; This situation can happen. Why? O bhikkhus, because the mind is set in the right direction.

- Here, here, the monks, with my mind know a person's mind is unclean, I know: "If this man is destined to fall in hell so match" . Why? O bhikkhus, because his mind is impure.

It is also caused by the mind impure, such as bhikkhus, some beings in the world, after the general body, birth in the realm, evil, the land, hell.

- Here, here, the monks, with my mind know a person's mind is pure, I know clearly: "If this man is destined to be born in Heaven, . Why? O bhikkhus, because the mind is pure.

Because of the purity of the mind, the bhikkhus, some of the sentient beings in this world, after the general self-immolation, are born into the heavenly realm, the realm of this world.

ANSWER

Many people think that spiritual practice is the place of self-consciousness, in other words, the cultivation of mind. But the mind of man is like the picture of the state of "public also the head of the crime is also the most" should know the mind? According to the experience of the Sun, although the mind, but the mind must be in the right direction can penetrate ignorance, attain insight knowledge, attain Nirvana.

One of the characteristics of the mind is to shift, change very quickly as the branch of the branch, as the horse outside the grass. Change mind, birth kill in each moment so the mind, mind keeping up the good things are not easy. Often, everyone is diligent and enthusiastic, but later on, they are happy, lazy and many people rotten. 

As a big tree, the branches are tilted in any direction, when the saw is sure it will fall in that direction. As the whiskers of wheat, barley, if set in the right direction can pierce the foot. Likewise, our minds must be inclined toward new liberation towards life. Our minds must be oriented towards the Precepts, because only insight can penetrate ignorance. Therefore, the mind of the cultivator must always turn to and stay in the Dharma to hope for a career.

Today, many people, but the achievement of the sage is not much. Therefore, "to set the mind in the right direction" is also one of the important issues that every Buddha should meditate and adjust to overcome the defilements, spiritual sublimation, achievement of liberation, Nirvana. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTRY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.3/4/2018.
