Thieves in your mind.

We are like visitors to a strange land. We do not understand the native language so we do not find it interesting. But once you have learned to speak, you can laugh and joke with native speakers. The conventional view is that the elements of our lives, beginning with the body, are stable. A baby playing bubbles. The ball is tangled with a spike or pointed object, exploding; he cried regretfully. Another boy, wiser, knows that the bubble is so brittle that it does not bother when the bubble breaks. Man goes to life as a blind man. They forget about death as a greedy person, eats into the stomach a lot of delicious food without thinking that they have to excrete. When the stomach ache, because not anticipated, should not know where to run. The world is full of danger. Danger from the elements of life, the danger from thieves. In the temple there are also such dangers. The Buddha taught us to look for these dangers and to name the "Bhikkhu" for the monk. Bhikkhu has two meanings: the beggar, and the perceived dangers of samsara. Being full of greed, anger, ignorance. Being subjected to these three kinds of afflictions, they have to take on fruit, increase bad habits, create karma, and fall down before affliction. Why can not we remove greed, hatred, delusion? If you have bad thoughts, you will suffer. If you have the right understanding, you can end suffering. To know the effect and impact of karma, of cause and effect. Attachments to pleasure will take the suffering. Eating too good food, the stomach and intestines will react and you will take consequences afterwards. You are happy to steal from anyone; But then the police will handcuff you. As you watch, you will know how to act, will know how to end the hold and sorrow. The Buddha saw this, so determined to escape the real danger of the world. To escape the dangers of this world, we must overcome the dangers within us.The external danger is not as intimidating as the danger inside. Internal hazards include: wind, fire, water, and thieves. WIND: THE  wind comes from our senses, the pressure of greed, hatred and ignorance arises, destroying our good interior. Normally we only see the wind when the wind blows the leaves, not the wind of the senses. This sensory wind, if left unattended, will trigger a desire storm. FLOODS:  We can never get a fire. But greed, hatred, ignorance burn us always.Craving and anger make us have the wrong language. Fascination makes us see good evil, evil good, bad good, not worth having value. Those who do not meditate can not see the fire should burn. WATER: THE  danger here is the disturbing floods in our minds, engulfing our true nature. ROCKS:  True thieves are not outside of us. We have only been burgled for twenty years. But the five groups of craving of craving, the five aggregates, have always been stealing, beating me, torturing me enough. These five aggregates are: the  LIGHT, THE MIND, THE MIND, THE MIND, and the  MIND . 1.  IDENTITY:  (or Body) is the prey of sickness and pain. When it does not fit our will, we will be angry and sorrowful. Understanding the nature of aging and the decaying nature of the body, we suffer. We are attracted to other people's bodies or have aversion to their bodies that we have been robbed of true peace. 2.  CARDS:  (or sensation) When pain or pleasure arises, we forget that they are impermanent, suffering and not self. We identify with our emotions and so we are tormented by our misunderstandings. 3.  THOUGHT:  (or memory, perceptual) identify with what their conscious and mindful of past stories that greed, hatred and delusion arise. Our misunderstanding becomes a habit that subconsciously entails. 4.  BEHAVIOR:  (volition, attention and other elements of the mind) Not understand the nature of the state of mind (mind, body), we react, think and feel, love hate and sorrow arises. Forget that they are impermanent, suffering and not-self, so we get attached to them. 5.  HOW:  We accept keeping the aggregates knowledge about the other four.We think, "I know, I am, I feel" and is limited by the illusion of self, of the separation between the five aggregates, that consciousness is self. All these thieves - misunderstandings - lead us to erroneous actions. The Buddha has no desire for this. You can not find happiness here. So he gave the word "Bhikkhu" to those who saw the danger and sought escape. The Buddha taught the monks the nature of the five aggregates and how to let go of them. Do not stick to them, do not see them as my or mine. When we understand their nature, we will see that they have great potential for harm, great value. They do not disappear, but we no longer hold them as our own. After enlightenment, the Buddha still has the body, illness, feeling pain or pleasure, memory, thought, mind. But He does not attach to them, does not regard them as self, I, as mine. He knows that he understands them in their own way. That knowledge is not self, it is self. Separation of the five aggregates from afflictions and craving is like clearing small trees in the forest without harming the big trees. Only birth and death exist, defile no place. We are born and die with the five aggregates. The five aggregates come and go according to their natural nature. Whoever curses me, and if I have no sense of self, then it stops with words and I do not suffer. If feelings of discomfort arise, stop them on the spot and understand that feelings are not ours. "It hurts me, it disturbs me, it is my enemy," said a monk who did not think so.The monk does not hold arrogance or conceit. If we do not stand within range, we will not be shot. If there is no recipient, it will be returned to the sender. Becoming free from life is not attached to the evaluation of what happens, bhikkhu automatically liberated. It is the path of Nirvana, empty and free. Watch the five aggregates and clean the forest, you will be a different person before. Few people understand the emptiness and practice, but whoever does this will have great joy. Why not try it? You can get rid of the thieves in the heart and put everything that perfect! 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.4/6/2018.
