Choose the monk.

Be aware that cultivators must transform bad into good, not good rhetoric into bad. The bad person becomes good, but comes from the inferior part like the Elderly Tables of the Buddha in the world and near us today is the Elderly Chinatown. He confided to me that he had a weak body, sickly, not smart, slow to learn, but due to enough charm to meet good teacher, he was ordained as a monk. And importantly, he left the practice of the Buddha's teachings and spiritual practice, so his spiritual life began to transform well, from sick people into healthy people. The abbot and abbot should remember this.

The first one is that this place from the rubbish has transformed into a solemn monastery and this is also important meaning to demonstrate the virtue of spiritual practice. Indeed, the Buddha has likened the world to the House of Fire, but we have turned it into a lotus, which is the most important factor of a transformed cultivator. In other words, in the process of spiritual practice, mankind is considered as the container of divine knowledge that we convert into sages, Buddhas. In particular, it is important for us to transform this unclean aggregate into a fivefold Dharma body, purifying our minds and bodies.

Typically, the Buddha was initiated by a leader who lived on silk with full of worldly pleasures, but he renounced his rich life and transformed himself into a pure life Sa-act. beautiful image of the cultivator. He completely purified three karmic speeches. So, the famous Buddha is Sa-mana. 

While Sa-subjects, Brahmins at that time often argued against losing the right, but Sa-Tactical life is calm, inner life, that is to change the mind inside to become pure. Thus, from this experience, the Buddha teaches us that if we break a part of ignorance, afflictions, a part of dharma body appears.

And rightly so, the Sa-subject in accordance with the Buddha taught the law practice, the generals, their language and mind are freed, that is the process of transformation to good results.

Also wearing Sat-shirt, but the body is not liberated mind is contrary to the way the Buddha went and he chose. Understanding this principle, the abbot and the abbot prepare to think, consider this idea. Buddha and Sensei have done so, of course we also have to go that way to make the Buddha, to the future.

Be aware that cultivators must transform bad into good, not good rhetoric into bad. The bad person becomes good, but comes from the inferior part like the Elderly Tables of the Buddha in the world and near us today is the Elderly Chinatown. He confided to me that he had a weak body, sickly, not smart, slow to learn, but due to enough charm to meet good teacher, he was ordained as a monk. And importantly, he left the practice of the Buddha's teachings and spiritual practice, so his spiritual life began to transform well, from sick people into healthy people. The abbot and abbot should remember this.

Why do we have to find the cause for transformation? From death, our Karma is born. I have experience in this field. Tran lao, karma cause birth defilement, but defilement is the root cause our bodies are corrupted, tired, sick.

To tell you the truth, I am 80 years old, older than the Most Venerable Giac Moi, one year old, but I am still healthy, the sermon is thanks to the transformation of mind and body. At a young age, I was unwell, sick and constantly sick, but discovered my karma and transformed karma, once healthy, until 60 years old, I am really strong mental health, . Previously, at the age of 20 is young people should be healthy, but not healthy, because of sadness, excessive irritability, so sick.

Why sorrow? Looking at society, looking at life, looking at colleagues find extremely frustrated, honestly say I do not agree with anyone, so not eat sleep, causing my heart failure. Actually this is my experience so.

At first, see fellow practitioners, then you in the sect, I also do not agree. Looking outward, seeing the people of another sect and beyond is paganism, paganism, or in other words, seeing around me as a bad person so I do not want to be near, do not like to contact anyone. Just wanted to go up the mountain, that was my mood 50 years ago.

So in my heart all negativity. It is because of karmic cause that I was born, because karma led me birth in this world, although not at all, but I still have to bear this karma.

In my own experience, what I want is not coming, what I fear, I avoid it cling to me. Karma Buddha taught that like the tail of the buffalo stick to the body of the buffalo, where to go to pursue it.

Recognizing this deeper, I started thinking slightly bold is not wanting anything else, then nothing wrong to happen to me. It can be asserted that a person abandoning his desires, desires, partial desires is liberated in part, completely abandoned desire completely freed.

I do not want to; I must avoid it, so it must face life, how life must be like that and depending on that behavior.

I want to have good fellow initiates, want to have a good pupil ordained, want to have a Buddhist heart wholeheartedly, but these people do not come to us, but on the contrary, people are not good to me, not good.

Personally, I was not happy with the salesman, but later I thought that Prince Siddhartha was also a Buddhist monk, so I left this attachment and to the salesman. We have good heart, good behavior, we are close.

 Want to touch the Buddha statue, must find wood incense, do not find wood items. For him, cultivators do not have the soul of wood, because the outside looks like Buddha, but inside there is no core. We should consider to see the truth.

Agarwood is not easy to find, no jade, but to find these things, there is no life. I began to think of this teaching. Real people in this life, intelligent, healthy, good, of course social use, they will be secretary, president, director ...; they are not monks. However, the cultivators are a little bright, and some time later, they are gone. Therefore, this is experienced by the ancients, who say that the authorities are arrested.

 The more open minded, he said, who was attached to him, he was willing. The abbot should remember this idea, people do not have the charm did not come, but the predestined people, I create conditions for them to cultivate, do not let them degrees. 

The Buddha taught the table to sweep the garbage out and also clean up the feces in the mind, so also Luhan. Therefore, the abbot should pay attention to what the Buddha taught. They are the same dirty, began to wash the body and must be solemn with merit. If they do not teach them to do so, they become harmful and dangerous to them.

On our path, those who say they are not blessed, full of karma, but they have a little luck with us, the teachers, they give the broom to sweep the garbage in the temple and in their hearts.

Personally, in Hue Nghiem pagoda there are old people, sick to. I assigned them to sweep the temple so that they have the merit of their illness is dignified by merit, their karma will spend. That is the experience I want to share.

They are sick, but ignorant for the monk, dressed in Sa-content, watching the creation of crime for them. In fact, dressed in Sa-subject, the gods and eights they see Sa Sat to worship, they do not blessed, that is, not sick monk disease, not evil but evil monks, become evil karma. Increase must be discontinued.

As the Buddha's hand broom sweeps to clean up the tu compassion merit, new ordained, ordained, worthy of natural offerings. Therefore, we do not need many people to leave, but need to cultivate properly. Venerable Tri Quang was over 90 years old, but he was not ordained. I have many students, but restrictions on the monk, because I do not have time to teach, but do not teach, they are false, I have a fault. 

Dressed in Sa-subject, but not Sa-subject is legal, dangerous. Because the pagoda is Sa-subject like to make foreigners laugh, Buddhists sad, the abbot also miserable.

Thus, the Church advocates a process of cultivating, challenging whether they truly cultivate or not. Determined to cultivate, they accept life difficult and mature.

In my experience, at Nam Viet Buddhist School, I used to clean the toilet. Remember the case of Table Special, I wholeheartedly serve the Buddha, Dharma, Sang and have reaped good results in their religious life, monks love me because I serve the mass. I sweep, rice should have merit. After three months of settling down, one day the Most Venerable Thich Hoa went to the toilet, saw me clean up, and told me not to do it anymore, as his attendant, because his attendant had gone away.

I think that because I was determined to cultivate, should be merit to be close to the intellectual master like him. Close to the Venerable, I often think, apply his teachings in life to help me grow. And then, fortunately, the Venerable told me that I was young, so I went to see how their Buddhism organized and managed the followers to return to making our Buddhism flourish.

And to study in Japan, I think no matter what the Vietnam, because it is the desire of the teacher. While you are discouraging, advise me not to return, because then people in the country also want to go abroad to live.

For me, tu is a difficult place, suffering, like to commit themselves, like to do, newly supported by Buddha, legal guardian Long, so that easily overcome the difficult, dangerous.

To say that during the 26 years of teaching is the hardest time, I commit myself to live the faith and fortune Giac Toan shared the same suffering.

I think how we find the commitment, sacrifice for the virtue, a person so precious, more than many people that do not benefit the virtue.

The Buddhist abbot needs to consider who is willing to go home, demanding liberation and chemical beings, we are new for the monk is given this mission for them. But the disheveled, diseased, dirty mind that made them wear tuxedo, but their heart full of affliction is more harmful than good.

Have a pleasant day with you, share some of the experiences I have experienced, so that you can return to the establishment, although more or less the right path to practice. To do so, the new Buddhists, the legal guardian Long Thien shelters and Buddhas happy, happy memories.
