![]() |
The Lotus Sutra (The Pratune Monk) deals with 14 areas of fearless donation of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva: 1. Helping beings to escape from suffering; 2. Helping beings not to be burned with fire; 3. Help beings are not submerged by large water; 4. Help the evil beings from being harmed; 5. Help beings escape chiefs; 6. Help beings not to be evil, evil spirit to see; 7. Help beings escape the shackles shackles; 8. Help the living beings to escape the robbery; 9. Help all beings except greed; 10. Helping sentient beings to leave their anger; 11. Help the beings eradicate the delusion; 12. Helping children to pray for their son; 13. Helping children to be girls; 14. Helping people bear the name of Avalokitesvara is immeasurable. Generally speaking, the beings who meet the danger, the victims who sincerely recite the title Bodhisattva will be the body makes peace of mind, no fear anymore. Due to this noble aspiration, the Bodhisattva was born in the realm of Ta-she worshiped as the false Awareness, "Donate power without fear."
Donation is a noble gesture that Buddhist disciples always carry and cultivate in daily life. The first step is to donate the material (Grant), then donate the teachings (France) and finally donate peace, bring the confidence, fearless. However, the donation of material and teachings in a meaningful sense meant the gift of peace, no longer fear. Not only the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara is the "Donor of Fearless Power" but all of us, who wish to follow His way of life, can share and give peace, not fear for themselves, but relatives and all beings.
To donate, of course there must be something to give. If you want to donate resources, it must have wealth, silver money; Want to give the teachings must be knowledgeable and experienced in practicing Buddhism; To give peace, not fear, we must have peace, confidence and fearless. Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is the Bodhisattva of love (Bi), loving beings as mothers love children but also he is the Bodhisattva of knowledge (Tri). His brilliant wisdom is to see the Five Aggregates as No (non-self, Sunyata). Thanks dwells in wisdom origination, not clinging to the Bodhisattva overcomes all obstacles, no fear, shuns crazy fantasies, an end Nirvana ( Heart Sutra ).
Obviously, the Bodhisattva is not afraid, because He sees all not. And we are always worried and scared because almost all of them have. It is the "always available" that narrow of beings are the cause of all insecurity, fear. Therefore, to learn fearless, not afraid of the Bodhisattva, we need to open the eyes of wisdom to look deeply into themselves as well as life to see the truth that "all things are false. , as charming, as empty, not empty, not self, Sunyata. Our view is as close to the truth, the truth is how much we are more leisurely, peaceful, peaceful and fearless. When we have the power of confidence, not fear, immobilization before the fluctuation then we can donate this energy to relatives, and to all people.
The suffering of beings such as anxiety, fear and insecurity in many aspects of life appear almost permanent. Regardless of age, situation and condition, everyone has anxiety and fear. Fear of the visible to the invisible, fear of poverty and more fear of being rich, fear of what has happened until imminent, fear of innumerable uncertainty in life, fear of fear And not to be frightened, etc. ... Until the most fortunate people always meet the same things in life also anxiety anxiety when the late afternoon, facing death. Anxiety and fear are always surrounded, overlapping life. Thus, bodhisattvas always clustered everywhere, day and night to save the effort to help beings peace, no fear.
Who has ever been disturbed by fear to understand the suffering of fear. So before the suffering of fear beings, the Buddha can not ignore that must find a way to save, give peace. Unlike donation of material or teachings, donation of fearlessness sometimes does not require anything big, only you are present. A child screams when he does not see her. Then his mother appeared, just see the mother is the baby crying, no longer fear. Or have time to appointment but not see people need to meet, take the phone to dial the number and there is no answer signal, restlessness, fear of vague. When the appointment appears new relief, relieved the whole. For the first time in our life we have gone far, to a place completely unknown even where people are crowded but still see the man's sadness, vacant alternating anxiety. Now, we need a friendly eye, a sympathetic smile. Only then do we warm heart in the land of the country. So, we do not need to do much, just be present with all the stability and leisure also bring peace, less fear for so many people.
Another great fear always haunts human life is fear of loss: loss of loved ones, loss of money, loss of reputation, loss of status, loss of faith, loss of health, loss of beauty, loss of many things, loss of socks You can not be afraid of not being suddenly white handed (which no one can foresee). But here is the obvious truth, when born with two white hands and finally go out white with both hands, not much peace of mind to recognize and accept. After all, we have what is real and fear is lost. Giving and take refuge on each other as simulated as many pairs of reciprocal categories are not-to-go, birth-kill ... As seen should be seen lost, have never been lost before. In this infinite flow, change, change, impermanence is the commonness. Then why fear the truth that has never been-lost? We can contemplate and enlighten ourselves whether this or the Bodhisattva or other people can enlighten us to throw away their fears and live happily.
More importantly, even this body of mind also fake illusory, say anything outside the body. The body of this five aggregates due to charm is actually false and false then false. Understanding the charms and conditions, depending on the conditions, living happy, peaceful and relaxed, not afraid of anything. Here, donate the power of fearlessness through self-acceptance and upholding insight, obliterating the darkness of karmic ignorance, recognizing the truth of life to live peacefully and peacefully.
The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara always use the skillful means to give peace to all beings. According to his happiness, each of us also equip ourselves with love and great insight to enjoy life, not worry and help people always peace, not fear.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH NU CHAN TANH.GIAC TAM.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.19/5/2018.
