To attain enlightenment, we must eliminate karma. Still, the Buddha-nature is never revealed. That is a truth.
Today we will talk about the topic of "Karma and Tenderness", so you Buddhists realize clearly on the way to practice, we have a specific method.
In ancient China, Zen Master Chao Tung Shao was the most agile. One day someone came to ask him:
- White Vow, dog has Buddha nature?
In ancient China, Zen Master Chao Tung Shao was the most agile. One day someone came to ask him:
- White Vow, dog has Buddha nature?
He replied:
- No.
This man once read the Mahayana sutras, heard the beginning, asked:
- Bach Vien, in the sutras say all beings have Buddha nature, why dogs do not have Buddha nature? He replied, "Because of the veil of concealment. On the other hand, there are also people who ask the same question: - The Venerable, the dog has the Buddha nature? He replied: - Yes. The other question: - Have Buddha Tanh is lucid, why go into the skin is so rugged leaves? He replied: - Because know that the offense.
- No.
This man once read the Mahayana sutras, heard the beginning, asked:
- Bach Vien, in the sutras say all beings have Buddha nature, why dogs do not have Buddha nature? He replied, "Because of the veil of concealment. On the other hand, there are also people who ask the same question: - The Venerable, the dog has the Buddha nature? He replied: - Yes. The other question: - Have Buddha Tanh is lucid, why go into the skin is so rugged leaves? He replied: - Because know that the offense.
An incident where two different ways of answering, so contradictory? That's the way the Zen Master responds to the audience. We will explain to you the profound meaning of each of Trieu Chau's answers.
The former asked the dog to have Buddha nature, he replied no. He asked again, why all beings have the Buddha nature that the dog does not own, he said because of being covered by karma. We read the Mahayana scriptures , who also understand the Buddha taught all beings have Buddha Tanh. So why did he say the dog has no Buddha nature? - Because of the veil of concealment. For example, the moonlit night, but dark clouds cover, we look up without seeing the moon. Then someone asked "today there is no moon", "yes", but I do not see, should answer "no". No, this is because the cloud cover is not visible, not the moon. That is also logical.
Likewise, the Buddha-nature as the moon, dark clouds cover for karma. We are constantly aware of the Buddha nature, so we can not see it. So what is karma? Our distinctive consciousness of love. Thinking this one thing, stop it not, it is running in the knowledge. In other words, the habitual distinction is karma.
What's the habit? As we are accustomed to thinking about things over and over, being disturbed, good and bad ... When we sit back and talk, it's all about that, because it has become a habit. People think about the honor of glory, when sitting up the humiliation of honor up and down, can not stand. In summary of the habits we have practiced, when sitting up it emerged, the charm of the non stop, so the Buddha was obscured.
But Buddha We have Buddha nature, but we have not seen, only believe. Why not see? Because of constant obscurity. Sitting in meditation for a full two hours, but not sure if it was ten minutes, twenty minutes completely silent, no thoughts arise. Constant memories start as black clouds continue to obscure the moon, how can we see the moon? To see the moon, the clouds must be dissolved. Want to see the Buddha Nature must stop the Karma. Unceasingly we never see the Buddha nature.
So the Zen Masters teach us to meditate to stop the karma. Formation stops, the new wisdom bright. Assuming you have not stopped completely, but let's clear, we also see some light. Meditation is to reveal the Trinity. As if you are Buddhist or hear the teacher said, there are problems that do not understand, so the focus on the problem, not solved. Whenever I sit in meditation, I do not think about it, but suddenly it shines, every suspicion dissipates. It is because the clouds of calm are down, so the light of the Awakening appears, making us see all clear, clear problems.
The meditator who strives for a long time will have such bright intervals. From then on we see the value of cultivating. If not, many novices still do not see anything strange. As the Buddha by the pure mind, he witnessed the network Tuc remembered countless previous lives as his story yesterday. If you notice will find, when sitting meditation is still we will remember the old things clearly, although I do not remember to remember. Many people upset themselves: "This is not time to remember, why remember?" But that is natural. Because when our mind is still, what we forget it. Just a bit to remember a few years ago, to be completely quiet. So Buddha remembered many lifetimes ago, not strange story.
Through these experiences we see what the Buddha can cultivate, I can also cultivate. But our quiet capacity is too short to remember the near, do not remember the distant. If the mind is completely pure in the long run, naturally the story is remotely remembered. Therefore, the meditators who practice meditation also have the Spirituality. We read in the field of A-junction, the Buddha said many foreigners remember three lives or six lives, ten lives ... But the Buddha concluded that memory is also limited, beyond that they do not know. Only the Buddha remembered countless lives.
Many people think that meditation, all the life stories do not know later have been suspended? Because they are afraid of not remembering, not learning more is easy to forget. Not so. We forget about the messy things that come with our minds. The seed of many generations is not lost, it is clear. That can not be imagined, because it is too human. So there are things Buddha's say now no one can believe, because it far beyond our imagination.
Zen practitioners should strive to suppress the cloud of karma from a long time ago. The cloud is melting, so we do not pray for light itself. Buddhists often chanting Bat-elegant, see the last bit said Bodhisattvas practice not have. Because there is no Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva passed all crazy island ideas, salvation to achieve Nirvana. The three Buddhas also because of the lack of good that the Supreme Court Chief Justice. So in the meditation house often say that they are not successful.
Reading the scriptures if not smart, we will see the whole is contradictory, incomprehensible. Why? Because we have the mind to pray, while the Buddha said that there is no attainment. Why? I often for example, like people on the road to see some money dropped, they pick up pocket. When picked up or called. Previously, there was no gathering now. If he has money in his pocket, when he needs to spend, do not say because the money is already in his pocket. What is not available now that it is called, also have just to spend, not called.
Likewise, we know we have Enlightenment available, just because the cloud of knowledge is covered, it is lost, we can not see. Now we break the cloud of karma, Tanha discernment is revealed, that is so natural, not say anything. So there is no gain, but without space. In the past did not light up now, thanks to the light that said, not really there is nothing strange to achieve. Should be said because of the lack of the Bodhisattva should be Nirvana, because of the lack of that Buddha achieved Supreme Void Chief Justice.
Where are the karma from? - From the body, speech, the idea of sin that out. Does a thief know that doing it is a sin? - Still know, they know if they meet the police they will be imprisoned again. Knowing that they still try, so the fruit in prison no doubt. Not in prison sooner or later in prison if they keep practicing it forever. So the Zen master says that the dog has the Buddha nature, but it still crawls into the ugly skin because it knows it's wrong.
Likewise, we are cultivators who know how to harass, clear good and evil but still create evil karma should be said that the offender. So even though the Buddha Nature still has the evil karma leads to evil, suffering as usual. The master said that knowing who to commit, then have to go into the skin is hairy leaves, this is a very specific saying to remind us. People are almost everyone, know that it is a fault that still trying to do, little or no one knows it should not do.
The little bit here, I think that what you do is suffering the world is sin, but when you get angry, you forget to hurt the person you are guilty of. Obviously that is also knowing that the offender. It is known that the offender is inevitably have to fall into the evil way. Here I show you the Buddhist philosophy. Buddhism advocates enlightenment, liberation is freedom. Freedom is not drawn by anyone. But now if we sin, how can we be free? Know that it is wrong that because of greed, because of anger I still work wrong, the result can not be free. Many claim freedom from the outside, such as demanding freedom from parents, demanding freedom from the government without demanding freedom, is a great mistake. We try to think if you get angry, lose control, anger provoked to say you have to say bad fate, To say the wrong thing is to lose your freedom. Knowing that it is a nuisance that we still have to follow its pressure to be dragged away, no longer free.
We must remember, the pressure of the three greed is very strong. It makes me follow it, I do not have enough self-control, this life has followed its delivery and then the next it leads where we follow. We want to choose the good way in life as well as the next must not be under the pressure of three ignorant greed. These three poisoned us to create evil karma, from the evil that he was led in the evil way. So we lose our freedom now and in the next life we lose our freedom again. So it is demanding freedom with oneself, not demanding freedom with someone outside.
Everybody seems to be self-liberated, I do this I do that. But the truth is that we are not free at all. A greedily pickled up it was a foul, a turf rage it was dragged, there is nothing! We do not do the wrong thing in the province, but when we get angry, it causes us to do it, no longer free. Sometimes it is too late to make repentance. So it is important to keep calm, the mind is always aware of what is bad, we do not. Do not be greedy as the master lead, was led by him out of ownership. Today does not have the right to own the right tomorrow is not the right to own. It is completely free.
Understanding that we should demand freedom at ourselves, that is absolute freedom. To absolute freedom, the three toxic, greed, and si must resolve to complete. Do not let it have the authority to incite you. So we have freedom in the present life, freedom even tomorrow. That freedom is the cause to deliver birth and death. Therefore, it is a problem, to see each other or the bad ones, not to be in the shape of sketchy.
The cultivator who still keep farming, yard still keep the tu do. There are many people say: "That sentence is too angry, not angry?" In the old days when I was sick to Phuong Boi am with Nhat Hanh. At that time, the Buddhists in the provinces sent letters to me, telling the story of being bullied, and finally said, "Master, that person is so angry." What is angry, only in the ring not Buddhist.
We can not ring and then blame the angry, angry people to be angry. Actually, anything can be ignored, when we know it is not real. By not knowing clearly, the more I think the more angry. Anger or anger is a proverb to cover up our easy-going mistakes. So how to break the field? As long as breaking the field, we have autonomy, there is freedom to have freedom. Freedom is the cause of deliverance. Cultivators need to contemplate their inner thoughts, not on the outside.
I reminded you Buddhist, not much vegetarian is tu, not good chanting is tu. There are many people chanting very vegetarian, vegetarian is very good, but the children say a little disdain to scold. Is not that right? That just makes people laugh more. The practitioner is self-control, self-control, self-examination of wrong mistakes of themselves to leave. Diligent daily fixes can be improved every hour.
Want to evaluate c We have to suppress our karma. Still, the Buddha-nature is never revealed. That is a truth. Zhao Zhou responded to two simple questions that were a very profound lesson on cultivation. As he is clearly told to the students understand, other Zen masters are rarely white like that. As the Story of Realizing Gong went to Mr. Nanquan, he asked this:
- The Venerable One, who had a goose in the vase. The goose is as big as a jar, now how to take the goose without breaking the jar? Mr. Nam Tuyen brought out very easily. He called: - General. Completion of the bar: - Yes. He said: - Out. Right then Finished Phu Phu.
In the past, I did not say anything so many listeners are so confused. Why do not I lecture? - for you to discover. But nowadays, if I do not speak out, there is no one who is interested in exploring, I do not have the opportunity to meet Buddhists anymore, so today I explain. Realizing that Gong is a person who has deep understanding of meditation, he asked such questions. The goose is only for the mind or Tanh, his jar is for this body. Body and mind are not separated, so ask how to bring the goose without breaking the bottle, that is how this body knows how to have a true Mind? Nam Tuyen calls "great phu", he immediately responded, "he said" out. " Ignorance has no form but it often manifests in our six faculties. The eyes or see the color, ear or hear the sound ... The full call is full of Tanh hear Tanh know, So he said "out", the true heart is right where the see, or hear, or know it. Realizing Gong is a layman who knows the meditation, so he went to pay homage.
In the meditation house there are many strange answers, outsiders heard here only, not how to solve it. But when I understand or see to post. Zen Masters have nothing to hide us, just because we do not understand do not get should find it difficult. There are Buddhists who ask me to meditate how to stay calm. This static is silent. In fact, meditation is quiet, but do not think that you are silent. I think it is still stuck, still not trapped. Mr. Vinh Gia Huyen Giac said: "The province is quiet, right." This province is a bright province, not quiet. "The province is confused, wrong." The province that the disorder is wrong. "Be quiet, wake up. There is silence, deep down, "We're just taking that as a principle. The province that is quiet is right, do not wake up to remember that it is not. Staying calm is not the way to go.
There are many questions when meditation should reflect or to keep static? Meditation has two paths, or Just or Conscious. Sometimes we use the meditation to stop the mind, sometimes we use silence to concentrate. For example, Buddhists often apply breathless breathing method, the whole body is happy, whole body is happy, that is the law of Quan. Or there is another place where we teach Satipatthana. And the person who is concentrating on a scene is called a pointer. During practice, practitioners are flexible, only when, consistent, how to apply peace of mind is good. If the long-term mind a little thought, not be quiet then turn to, mind set back. So it is impossible to be fixed in any way, depending on the individual practice of each person we have the appropriate application, as long as it is good.
In the daily life, it is important how Buddhists get rid of misery. Then there is a way to stay home is happy? Always be aware, do not go to court lead. There is only one way. We should not forget the new head shaved off all negativity. At the temple is not likely to end defilements, so why are Buddhists afraid of home disturbance? If you are afraid of home distress, running more pity the temple more?
When I was in Changshu, there was a Buddhist from Ben Tre up at ten o'clock. Please meet me and ask me a question and return immediately. I think the distance, this friend sincerely asked a question and then I gladly accepted. He since the refuge and then vegetarian, know chanting, know how blessed, but see what is also beautiful, who said the ear is also angry. Now please teach me how to reduce the greed.
I laughed and asked, "Why are you three, and why are you afraid of two things?" Fear of greed, want to end the greed but not ignore si never. Why do we take? - Because of the self. Seeing that beautiful, I like to enjoy. From us, we are born to enjoy the beautiful things. Now if you do not see the real thing, what do you do? By the si, the body is not real, but the real, new born to play. Now, we see that our body is not real, we are all greedy.
In the Bat-elegant, the Buddha taught "projection of the five aggregates of not necessarily the degree of suffering yoke," meaning that the body of the five aggregates is not true immediately overcome all tribulations. Because we see the real thing, we want to bring good things to ourselves. When the less greed, reduce the pitch always, because what I want to be stopped by anyone angry. Now I do not want anymore so who do what, do not get angry. The root yard from the lagoon, derived from the source that si. Just breaking up, the other two also follow the same loss. Know the pillars of afflictions are the ego. Dissolve dissipation, then all the defilements that end all.
Thus, Buddhists at home want to reduce affliction, less intellectual, do not crave self is real. Often we understand the Buddha's teachings without contemplating thoroughly. Listen to the Buddha said that the author also said, but actually do not see any at all. In ancient times, we see the Buddha said that this body is a fake, but how to explain a specific way for people to understand. I say fake because of the suit, but it is not clear all the truth of the fake.
Now I can say through the continuous borrowing of four soil, water, wind, fire of the body. In our daily lives, we live by the four elements in addition to the external four elements of continuous support. Like the nostrils are breathing regularly, non-stop. Then drink water, eat rice ... Borrowing unpaid, borrowed unpaid, as such continue to nostalgic. If the process is interrupted or stopped, I die immediately. So we live by borrowing, not what is real! To see the truth to see human life is just a loan to pay evenly, nothing to, nothing precious. If borrowed to pay back smoothly, then happy, if loan repayment, then go to the doctor immediately. So the happiness of the world is through the smooth borrowing, if else is the loss of happiness, is suffering immediately. Where is the precious life? But do not say people do not!
Understood, what else is there for us to do? Without greed, what is left unfulfilled. I'm not real, people are not real, more fighting than losing what, what is it? So the negativity of nature is clean. The teacher living free will be so. You see what is not to be sad, nothing more than lose? We have not experienced this for a long time, worrying about this one outside, but the closest one is ourselves, not knowing anything. All the good things, the good air, the cool water, and so on, without expecting all those things to borrow, nothing at all.
So you want to end the suffering, just use the wisdom to see clearly the original defilement from the ignorance that fell out. Beyond this delusion is the end of affliction, do not say in the temple of affliction. Out of defilement , the karma is no longer, the karma is clear, the Tanh sense of money. That is so obvious.
Today I talk about Karma and Tenderness to all of you to understand, apply the practice for the results. I believe if anyone resolves to shine clouds of knowledge, the moon wisdom will illuminate, do not doubt. May all listen, meditate and practice gain many practical benefits.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.10/4/2018.

I laughed and asked, "Why are you three, and why are you afraid of two things?" Fear of greed, want to end the greed but not ignore si never. Why do we take? - Because of the self. Seeing that beautiful, I like to enjoy. From us, we are born to enjoy the beautiful things. Now if you do not see the real thing, what do you do? By the si, the body is not real, but the real, new born to play. Now, we see that our body is not real, we are all greedy.
In the Bat-elegant, the Buddha taught "projection of the five aggregates of not necessarily the degree of suffering yoke," meaning that the body of the five aggregates is not true immediately overcome all tribulations. Because we see the real thing, we want to bring good things to ourselves. When the less greed, reduce the pitch always, because what I want to be stopped by anyone angry. Now I do not want anymore so who do what, do not get angry. The root yard from the lagoon, derived from the source that si. Just breaking up, the other two also follow the same loss. Know the pillars of afflictions are the ego. Dissolve dissipation, then all the defilements that end all.
Thus, Buddhists at home want to reduce affliction, less intellectual, do not crave self is real. Often we understand the Buddha's teachings without contemplating thoroughly. Listen to the Buddha said that the author also said, but actually do not see any at all. In ancient times, we see the Buddha said that this body is a fake, but how to explain a specific way for people to understand. I say fake because of the suit, but it is not clear all the truth of the fake.
Now I can say through the continuous borrowing of four soil, water, wind, fire of the body. In our daily lives, we live by the four elements in addition to the external four elements of continuous support. Like the nostrils are breathing regularly, non-stop. Then drink water, eat rice ... Borrowing unpaid, borrowed unpaid, as such continue to nostalgic. If the process is interrupted or stopped, I die immediately. So we live by borrowing, not what is real! To see the truth to see human life is just a loan to pay evenly, nothing to, nothing precious. If borrowed to pay back smoothly, then happy, if loan repayment, then go to the doctor immediately. So the happiness of the world is through the smooth borrowing, if else is the loss of happiness, is suffering immediately. Where is the precious life? But do not say people do not!
Understood, what else is there for us to do? Without greed, what is left unfulfilled. I'm not real, people are not real, more fighting than losing what, what is it? So the negativity of nature is clean. The teacher living free will be so. You see what is not to be sad, nothing more than lose? We have not experienced this for a long time, worrying about this one outside, but the closest one is ourselves, not knowing anything. All the good things, the good air, the cool water, and so on, without expecting all those things to borrow, nothing at all.
So you want to end the suffering, just use the wisdom to see clearly the original defilement from the ignorance that fell out. Beyond this delusion is the end of affliction, do not say in the temple of affliction. Out of defilement , the karma is no longer, the karma is clear, the Tanh sense of money. That is so obvious.
Today I talk about Karma and Tenderness to all of you to understand, apply the practice for the results. I believe if anyone resolves to shine clouds of knowledge, the moon wisdom will illuminate, do not doubt. May all listen, meditate and practice gain many practical benefits.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.10/4/2018.
