TU is the solution.

Today will talk about "the mind of the Exodus", to remind the diligent practitioners.

Because long-time practitioners sometimes forget about their aspirations, they need to be reminded regularly so that everyone is aware of their work. We develop the mind to cultivate and pray to liberate the seclusion of secular or worldly, so the monasticism is the exit, the escapist, not the trivial easy to do. If not for the will to be born, we have lived in the world, it is the vow that should enter the path, to escape the world's habits of life.

According to the Buddha's teachings, the monk must wear a cassock or necktie (dyed shirt), which is covered with dyed dark colors for less people to look at. This medicine is also called liberation, every time he wears this monk must renounce the verse:

Great ear recovery

Blessings of the General

Phi luong morality

People are born.

The monk is a very great virtue, transcend all the world, because the work that ordinary people hard to do.

In the Tang, General Do Hong Tiem came to ask the Zen master about Vo Truc meaning of the monk. The master replied: "The author of the non-generals of micro-organism." It means that the work of the monk is not something that the minister can do.

You see the general as a worldly ministry, and the monk is in the religion, so the ordination is very transcendent. Because when we are ordained, we will solve the problems that have bound our lives from innumerable birth to now, such as the love of our parents, brothers, relatives, friends ... if we can overcome them. This is not trivial, not easy to do, but also towards the liberation of birth and death. About the body, before the jewelry according to the world, but when the family then must be canceled, that is to surpass the mold of the human life as shed when shaved hair:

Cancel the weather

Cat from the body

Religious teaching

The most necessary personnel.

That is to say, the North Shan shaved hair, shaving is to cancel the good form of the world, but according to Nguyen Thuy, the shaved eyebrows, want to look worse, so that no longer attachment half. One who upholds the noble will to liberate is clothed in a necktie and cuts off the love of bondage according to the narrow self, for parents, brothers, friends ..., always wrapped around us, this only. He cut off the above things to enter the path, called the "Sangha Sutras," but sometimes cut off the parental feelings and family back pillar, that is fraternity. There are cases when entering the temple and then the brothers, sisters or parents in the temple again, the contrary.

"As a monk who is practicing monasticism in the world, it is not a small task!

"The most human world" is to practice enlightenment to save all sentient beings, not just to find their own fun. So, you see the aspiration, our work is too noble, too transcendental!

In Quyen Son Book, tons of tons: "Deviant, supernatural, psychedelic". It means that the monk is to step up to heaven wide, not only to pedal under the mud only. "Mind-shaped gender" refers to the mind and body of the person must be secular. Body shaved hair beard, dye and mind also have to change to make the monk to practice, doing difficult things to do, ring the hard work in the faith, not entangled with wealth, fame, identity in world; It is not only the form of ordination in the temple but the mind returning to the world, this is sad, blameless! So, the monk is a step, a milestone in his life, not easy, trivial.

An instructor advised Dao An as follows: "It is very difficult for monks and nuns to look down on themselves. It means to shoulder the moral, wearing a sense of human nature, to keep silence pure. How difficult is it? That is, cut off the secular cut off the road of love, away from the change of identity with people, doing things that people can not do, cut off what can not cut, ring bear suffering, leave the body The network should be called hard, given the name ".

Do you see that I have done so? Cut off far from the worldly love, modify not with the people, do things that people can not do, cut off things that can not be cut, cut off the love, the craving attachments of people; I have to bear the sacrifice of the body for the cause. You check that your work is very noble, transcendent world. But because the temple is too familiar to look down, forget about the great vows. So, the monk must revisit his virtue to be worth it? In terms of appearance, body shaved hair, dyed clothes liberated in the temple is that we have taken a liberation step, but have to look back to see if the behavior is compatible with the meaning exit or not?

II. REVIEW OF MY HEART

To the second step is more important than whether each person's Mind is real? It is this that decides the religious life of each person, not only the form in the temple only. You check how we are?

First of all, it is necessary to ask: What are we to liberate? Is it only liberating the form of this world? Quy Son teaches "mind-shaped", ie mind and shape must be secular, must liberate the mind, which must only liberate the body only!

The new monks in the short time do not say, and you leave the house about five years, ten years or above, have been in the monastery for a long time to consider carefully whether the negativity has decreased? Are the attachments lighter? In life, craving, greed, greed, sleep ..., and you are the monk is reduced or remain the same? So, when wearing dyed clothes, each one needs to carefully consider whether he is like a monk?When eating the cake, drink a glass of water is different than before? If the dress is the same as in the old world in the selection of beautiful bad; eat the cake also compliment the delicious; Drinking water is also required as a secular. Then see who else is better than me or tu than me, or other people are more praised than you, mind also jealous? If there is jealousy, what is the mind? That mind is not the same or the same as in real life. Then the joys and sadness for the moment of the ordination is reduced more or less. Try reviewing? Do not come here, but only worry about backward world, still happy as the old?

In Han Son (the incarnation of Bodhisattvas Samantabhadra), there is a poem to remind people to leave home:

Reminds me of the group of monks

Away from the bridge to live

Next to the family line

Sweet tongue, sweet lips.

Leaning as curled mind

Full day of religious ceremony

Exit time

Burning Buddha Spirit incense.

The bell to the tone

Six prostrations

Night night can not lie

Just because of money likes.

In the mind is not free

See the high morals

To hate birth defamation

Musk fragrances.

Damn! Buddha-da-da!

That is to remind the people who go home, the pursuit of luxury life, tongue lo strive to eat delicious food, the more curious mind, not worthy of the monk. Prostration prostration because according to the time, do not have to enlighten to learn enlightenment. At the incense burner Buddhist chanting, chanting or six prostrations, night lying is not in the interests of the real. So that in the mind is not free.

Anyone who is morally superior to me is jealous, jealous of jealousy. It is true that people with higher virtue, better to be happy, so that we add books to progress in accordance with people, but on the contrary only hated: "They are such a religious order to give people praise The Or do you think you are good or not?As bad as anyone, also dress, as well as praise what is not good! "That is to find fault each other to lower the other, that is not good jealousy. To do so is like donkey dung that compared to musk can not be anywhere, so he complained "suffering!" Where the Buddha without enlightenment?

That is Han Son reminded the monk to self-check his virtue, posture is compatible with the right to family?The moral merit is good with the liberation? To be ashamed to progress! It must be in the temple for a long time, usually ignored. Do not consider yourself so self-deceitful, find yourself the bad, the poor, and then shame awake to rise.

He also advised him to leave home: "He has left the body of the secular world, must be exhausted all the love, the unborn baby". Domination is to abandon this secular form, then you must exhaust the consciousness to match infertility. Do not leave home and live the same old.

"Why do not you just stay awake? Sutra, the poorer, the excess has not walked the clean road, back into the muddy way. That is meticulous, our morality and morality are less and less, but life is more. We must practice self-check, if not let the life inserts lose themselves. Especially now, the civilized world is prone to material swept away, darkening the human eye is not good. Sometimes we also advocate for the Buddha, because of this coast charm that collect it again. So that is very dangerous, often self-check for maturity.The way of spiritual practice is clean and pure road without going, going back to the muddy way, the more and more sinking, unfortunately, unfortunately!

"Life goes through, or in a moment, pain in hell, hard to copy all. Now try to admonish, must be considered in the law has determined "

He eagerly reminded everyone to remember the impermanence suddenly can not be predicted, just a short breath is that the work of moral virtue has nothing, do not deceive the sin will carry debt, then The pain in hell is more dangerous!

The renunciation of life is not a small thing, this debt to get back to this? Therefore, every meal of the monk must eat three dishes. Ngu shop is to carefully read the five things to try to book, to see that shame forward. But sometimes it is because we are so familiar, so easy to ignore, do for the past. It is true that when the five stalls must be consistent to see that the practitioner of the life of the debtors are very large, very heavy, must practice to be worthy to repay the master. Therefore, the person who works in the kitchen, the shed should also remember to keep the master's care thoroughly.

In the past, in the monastery choose treasure is to find people must have virtue, there is bright leadership take responsibility not to despise. Whenever you cook something, you should carefully consider the value of the gift, even if it is ordinary, but it should be used so that the new life is worth it. Cook, before moving up the ceremony must be nine, then to offer offerings. As the precious of the patron, while looking after the health of the masses, so the owner's weight heavier than the stone.

Ancient German tells the story: There is a teacher found in their use of indiscriminate indiscriminate, despise should use the means of awakening. One day, he sent a messenger to wash his y hair, the dentist brought him to the laundry, then saw the medicine bulge up forever, do not sink down to wash, so that the pedant must pedal down and still not down. The teacher saw in the distance, came to say: "I take four grain rice to tie four corners." Attendance listening to the doctor immediately sank. That new teacher reminded: "You see? The donkey's rice is heavier than the stone, so eat it and practice it to reciprocate, otherwise it will be ruined. "

Both Han Son and the Dac, the reincarnation of Bodhisattva Manjushri and Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, when in Quoc Thanh pagoda looks like crazy people, each meal they do not go to the cloister but only in the kitchen, Eat more of them and turn them back clean and use, the intention to remind them increased.Therefore, we are the monk must realize and appreciate the offerings of the master, if not smart, it is easy.

Tell this story to tell you to check yourself often: In the reign of Emperor Taizong, in the middle of the Trinh Quan era. Chau section of a pagoda is named Ba Dat. This guy likes to drink alcohol, although in the temple that every day is often drunk. After being re-introduced into the Virtual Treasures of the warehouse. On occasion, he secretly took their money to buy alcohol to drink, several years he died. Then, in the temple bought a very healthy buffalo. As in ancient China, the temple has land so often used buffalo to plow.

One day, they were sitting at the gate of the pagoda where the buffalo had driven the buffalo back to the pagoda. The buffalo then bought it back. The monk noticed it a little unusual attention, saying: "You look brother! The steps of this buffalo are as ridiculous as our Ba Dat before. " Because Ba Dat at the time of life often drank alcohol, so dreaded to not adjust, now see the buffalo go like the steps of Ba Dat. The buffalo hears the name Ba Dat, just passing through turn their heads toward the rising. They grew up and said, "It is true that Ba Dat was," and said to him, "If you are really Ba Dat, then come here with us." Buffalo hear, go to the front of them up bent head down to the ground, eyes tingling. They made sure that Ba Dat should patted his head comfortably, someone fell in love with tears thinking: Anyway the old days are also fraternal,

In the ninth year of King Thái Tông's visit to the Liaodong area, the court ordered the surrender of Mr. Vu Van Tiet to the people gathering buffaloes of the Chau and other districts to make food for the soldiers.When looking for a buffalo, trying to catch buffaloes Ba Dat, it jumped on the halt to not resist. Raising them to see the new story for this officer heard, then sincerely asked him to forgive it. The officer heard and saw the strange thing, said: "Well, tell the teacher that I just want to meet him, but I did not take him away."

They raised the buffalo to hear, then the buffalo came out to meet him. He said, "Kneeling down," he knelt down. Seeing this strange thing, he stopped taking the buffalo again.

You see if you do not skillfully carry debt, then lose the body. Therefore, the team often reminded "Do not be smart to wear horn hair to repay debt". Try to check back a few years in the monastery, how long did you live in the monastery? Two meals, clothing, housing, drinking water, electricity. How much a day? How many years? If you are about five years, how long do you live? Then how much of his spiritual practice to compensate, is not it? If not? Check if you are afraid, if you do not know how to do it every day and worry about living comfortably, sometimes reminded to practice but also want to get angry.

Thich Dac in the pagoda Quoc Thanh is orphaned child was left outside the road, Mr Phong Can brought to the temple farming, should be named the Dac. Often, the herd of buffalo herd in the grounds of Quoc Thanh pagoda, both buffalo herd singing and singing. One day the monks assembled the ceremony of preaching the precepts of the precepts of the Buddha. The monk came to the temple and said, "The crowds are crowded."

At that time, the Chieftain saw the rebuttal: "This crazy man! Why come to make noise, impede the theory of gender?

"I am not a buffalo, because most of these buffaloes are the people who oversee their work in the temple."Finished, he called the name of each monk died, and then the buffalo who is the name of something that has already passed ..., then the buffalo came. At that time they increased their apprehension and also from them increased self-examination and then modify the practice, sometimes feel the Bodhisattva appeared to escape.

Do you find it scary? It is often the responsibility of the responsible officials. It is easier for the layman to use the material of the Three Jewels than the masses, so you, the custodian, the Tri ..., when used with care, if wasted in the wrong place, sin. And they increase the life of the monk also remember the merit of his practice. In the subject of the Five teachings must be considered whether the virtue is full or not eat this meal. Especially those who donate with sincere heart sincerely pure. The ordinary heart donors are slightly debt, and the people bring all the sincere heart to offer the debt as heavy. Thus, each and every one of the wake up to progress, to set up forward to, vow solidly, to maintain the spiritual practice without slack. The use of credit on any subject must be trivial, not to attend a few meals and then ignored, cooled back; Each one has to be strong, steadfast to move forward.

III. MUST BE MADE UP, KIEN GIRA.

In life as well as in the director, who want to achieve great jobs must be solid, to overcome difficulties to succeed, not to have the form. Zen Master Trung Phong has a verse:

It is not difficult, nor easy

Only men really real.

Really strong new direction

Evolve as a game.

It means that the work of the practitioner is not difficult nor easy, but only you have to be true or not? It is difficult to turn into easy, but not easy to become difficult. Easy to do without having to do a few meals and then ignored as well as difficulty, even when the difficulty to overcome the transition to easy. The true truth is that the new religion is strong, evolve as a game. Remember, we practice is an internal revolution, not a common one. That is to say, to fight with the karmic from life to now, that is to rise up and beat the chains of ignorance from many lifetimes have mastered us, now must master it, master of birth and death . While billions of people around the world are bowing before it, it is not easy to get rid of it, not a game. How do you think our karma has been practiced since the beginning of time? Now we have to destroy the master back to it is not common, must be solid to go forward.

Remember the mirror of the Buddha when you sit at the Bodhi site vow here if you do not succeed, even if the bone melts and not get up, so he became a director. How did the Buddha, Brother fraternity here have been vowed how? Fun in the sad, then go; or who says moving, then leave, that's not the case. Here as long as the place to place. Should have a vow, set the direction to be sure the new direction. We have left father, mother, family, the cause of the world, leaving all the pleasures of life in the religious practice must be enlightened the great work of life, if not finished eating sleep, Where is the leisure time, then sad and angry hate for small things together is useful? So how to accomplish big things! That is the mind has returned to the secular.

In the spirit of determination, the ancient people did not have time to cut the nail, wipe the nose, there is time where sad sad anger and hate each other. So we learn the virtues of the ancient people, and then wake up the books themselves go up.

Mr. Dao Khiem came to meditation with Dai Hue University for a time that did not brighten the big one, Dai Hue teacher wrongly brought the letter to Mr. Zhang Ziyi in the distance, the journey must go one, two New arrival. In the past it was not like today to board a car two days are coming. What if you were sent that way? Happy, because a month or two away from the practice, there is no case to travel for reasons to ask again, now for good reason is very fond. But to Mr. Dao Khiem is different, he mourned with his brother who was the founder of Buddhism: "I am a meditation full life has not clear the big thing, today must trip on the wrong path I do not want to go, I do not want to go. "I wondered lamented not want to go. The virtue of the ancients is like that, compared to us today?

Therefore, each person must be aware of the greatness of his disciples that he is willing to progress, not to be ignored. Long time to find a way to go and go for leisure, is training more lung, when ever the big job?There must be a noble spirit to rise, not can be mediocre day! Remember, the funny story, the opposite is not a problem, we because of the great that the monks, no time for that little thing, should check back and see the shame that forward.

Zen Master Tin Tin in Vietnam around the 12th century, belongs to the 10th generation of Vo Tien Thong.One day, he came before the Buddha burned a finger offering and vow: "I have many inconsiderate life in the ceiling, wishing to definitely not create again.

He made a vigorous effort, not only to enter the temple time and then return to the center of the world. So you remember that the liberation practitioners, especially Zen meditation, is essential to meditate for, to break up the "strong mind", that mind has locked us from the Now, we can not break it, because we do not know how to break it. Unconscious mind goes into birth and death, sticking to the fallacy of this mischief should be born and die, not out of the circle around.

Today we meet the Dhamma, meet the path of liberation must quickly destroy the birth and death, because if not smart, we will feed it back. Remember this body and mind are fake "not me", "not me". Remember to check carefully, this shop is true only a burden of meat, contains the knowledge that borrowed nothing is all. As if it is true that it is accepting it, then cultivating nourish the mind of birth and death. If we do not know, do not invent the big thing yourself, how to break this heart of birth? Without breaking the mind of birth and death, what is the support of the arrow of impermanence waiting? Do not you fear?

In the Jagiellonian Institution, God emphasized this point: "As a person sitting in a large fire trying to find a way out, running around a step or not, stop a step or not, . At that time, it is necessary not to fire fire, not the body, no rescuers look, no other thoughts, no pause, aim straight ahead, run through and then be good.

That means there is only one way to aim straight ahead, without any other ideas to insert. At that time, the fire still burns! So are we! Being in the fires of birth and death, this must be straight forward and run out to not give birth to a new concept is new. But as little as possible, respiratory distress will go back to birth, not out. You think that is so scary, so strong will have to be.

Now, we only have one thing to run out without thinking any more, so that the new elaborate guarantee. If you are worried about thinking back and forth to save someone else, or remember the work has not been resolved, if there is this concept, then how to run away? If not out of life and death this way to resolve to keep up. Especially not old you are not smart enough to escape? To understand that is so scary that you are ready to move forward. Remember to put yourself in the position of being in the fire of impermanence, birth and death is always surrounded, and we still run to and fro in it. Each person must have strong determination, always caring deeply how to solve the problem of birth and death of himself, can not be idle by day.

Master Y Am every time down in the afternoon is the teacher shed tears, lament: "Today too again! It's over. I do not know what tomorrow is! "It was not like somebody just let it go.

Rinpoche once taught them: "Great Dhammas! Do not have to choose over the day, paint up before the light is not big, dark blindness is not dare to time to bed, hurry to vomiting anxiety ran to find the direction.After the force to this day, brothers frantically talk like this! Please advise the brothers, not because of porridge rice! "

Brothers listen to the old man's mind and then check out how long the mind? What is your direction, vow?So ashamed to take charge, to go forward.

IV. SUMMARY.

In short, each of us has had good conditions to meet the Buddhist monk, Buddhist practice in the right way, this is not a charm. Sometimes people leave the monastery but do not meet the right path to go, but go astray is dangerous. We have such good grace to know really cherish, not the first great charity when the heart of the monk. Every day in the director must always remember to consider how the pepper of the credit, not embarrassed to eat, wear, housing of the master of the house. Always remember to go out, is to go beyond, not to fall down and fall back, so sad. Please remind this story so that your brothers and sisters remember to check yourself, wake up.

There is a virtuous Sola (Korean) monk who has been practiced by virtue of a noble patronage for ten years. The business of this patron is increasingly prosperous, so the trust of this patron is very firmly, wholeheartedly offering. When this monk died, a few days later, in the garden of the patron, there was a dry tree growing on a special mushroom. The house is very delicious (like meat), so the whole family enjoyed eating this mushroom every day. After a nearby neighbor heard this, waiting for the night to climb the wall threshing, when the knife cut ear mushroom, suddenly heard in the tree to speak human:

- Who's that? Why cut my meat? I have no debt to you!

This person is scared to death! But he asked: - Who? Answer:

- I was the previous monk by virtue of less thin, accepting the owner with respect to the pure silver offering should be born here to repay, he may because I help repay the donor, I was rescue.

This neighbor is close to his home so he knows that this monk often goes back and forth. The neighbor waited in the morning, came to the truth and reported to the host. The owner heard the cries of figs and faint, always faint, not picking mushrooms to eat his teacher. Then came to the front of the mushroom repentance:

- Sir! I would like to delete the debt.

Neighbors are good, go get one hundred jelly to return to this landlord. Then the mushrooms grow out.

This is the story of the monk who is the author of the Venerable Thich Nhon. The reason is, there is a monk in Silla named Diemyi who is nearly eighty years old through China, coming to his temple in the mountains.I see this monk is older, also virtue should pay homage to the medicine to pay homage to this person. Due to good care, the monk Diem Nghia appreciated the new sadness and told the story of the monk Tan La mushroom for the Master, and said:

- After this I cut the meat to repay him. For a long time he also offered me.

So are you afraid to check again? These monks also practice virtue rather than play a game. But often received by the proprietor offering respect, but the merit does not make up, should pay back. What will we lack of virtue will not come out? Check out new fear, new to see the cold spine !!! Do you have virtue but poor virtue, and we do? So do not hurry to enjoy many people, when you see people have conscience also suggesting more, not smart is not dangerous. Need to stand up to try to progress, solve the big thing for you. Accumulate accumulation of food industry for the deep, when the dead to life, self-control to take. If not, then get help when leaving? At that time, the "Five Aggregates are not" nor can it be! Now we must master,

To end the reminder of the Buddha's teachings for each of you often remember to wake up:

Screams of light sausage,

The middle of the story.

The most liberated,

Rejection of personal identity, instantaneous.

Translation:

Do not wear loose Cases

Things are available!

As long as the discharge,

Blink the dead body like playing!

Remember: Do not wear this cassock again loose day. Wear this shirt is very heavy, not trivial. Do not think that wearing this shirt people prostrate, make it look so good! Wearing this dress is a burden, a big responsibility, so it can not be relaxed. Why? "Everything is available."

That is in the West (the seven things) are available in the micro. Seth is hell. The thing is that there is hell already. Do not smart, it is the same shirt that it does not look down. How long to worry about the release of not to miss, suddenly a blink of the eye lost body like playing. Losing the body of the horn hair like the buffalo Ba Dat, then how to turn the hand to keep up! Should remind yourself to practice, remember the cause of that scary!

Please add a few more words: Each of you is a religious practitioner liberated, in the temple try to live honestly with each other, to remind each other to progress, forget the sad little happy sad little grief, to the same books together. We only have one thing to do, to "jump out of the fire", without the time to be sad and angry.

Second, we have left our relatives to become brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters together as brothers in one house, helping one another, and harmonizing with one another. Often check yourself, reprimand yourself to see what is bad and remind yourself, wake up yourself to go up. To blame him, that is to say he himself more than blame him, to see the good of people forget the bad things of the people, to spend? To promote the good.

Remember, we spend one day in a temple, always grateful for our shelter even for a day. There are cases where people here at few meals and then go away something sad, sometimes come out and again bad words, it is the grateful.

The old man said, one day he has a cover day, let alone we have been in a month, two months or a year, two years, the protection to be very big to be grateful. If you are not worthy of the good behavior of the monk, should know it. How come here with fun, same tu, together to help each other out of this fire. These are sincere remarks please send to all masses.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.
