H ay imagine a yellow buffalo shackle that floats on the ocean wide deep pool bottom lon.Duoi a blind turtle swimming alone. Every hundred years from then surfaced once to tho.Co Assembly So it is reasonable that the turtle can hit the back of the hole when the buffalo raised high. Buddha taught, want to reincarnate human body, it is more rare than that.

According to the teachings, even gods are jealous of our human body because it is the best form to learn. Like the five billion beings in the world all carry human body. The four limbs and their bodies are the same. But if we examine, is it possible for everyone to have the same opportunity to practice Dharma? We will see a great difference. Miserable circumstances cause obstacles to the path of birth as the place where wrong views, reincarnated animals, ghosts, pretending to be evil or celestial beings, or even have human body, hard to hear the teachings. Or where there is no teaching. Other disadvantage can also be born in the border so every idea of ​​human survival has been completed. Destructive or birth to the time there is no Buddha head.

On the positive side, we also have many privileges to be able to cultivate the teachings. For example, we are born where the teachings propagate and be born as human body capable of receiving the Dharma. I do not commit the crimes of evil and evil, but have the time of the Buddha in the world, but we meet the teachers can continue to teach the teachings that they have been marketing since the Buddha The law is still valid and prosperous thanks to the practitioners know how many benevolent benevolent benefactors support the essential needs of monks and nuns as food, clothing, housing ...

On the positive side, we also have many privileges to be able to cultivate the teachings. For example, we are born where the teachings propagate and be born as human body capable of receiving the Dharma. I do not commit crimes that are evil and evil, but have the knowledge and belief in Buddhism. But not born in the Buddha's time, but we meet the teacher can continue to teach the lineage. The law that they have been marketing since the Buddha's head. The French still survive and flourishing thanks to the practitioners who follow the Buddha's teachings. Also living in the time there are so many merit Kindly support the essential needs of monks and nuns such as food, clothing, houses, etc.

The teachings of the Buddha has brought benefits to countless people by virtue of the practice that they have great enlightenment and their inner well are all eradicated negativity. But if the reincarnation of animals, beings in hell, or the hunger of ghosts (to be reported in the fifth chapter), the appearance of the Buddha-dharma in the world can not help us. For example, the Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha in India, At that time, if we carry the precious human body like this, is also protected by the Buddha, then perhaps our destiny is now completely different. We may have escaped from samsara rebirth. But, in fact, not so, in front of his eyes, his teachings would not help either. What is it for us if we refuse to attempt to study. But, fortunately, we are not born into a lower form of existence (only for the lower realm of the human realm); However, it is purely a human being and is free from the existence of non-human beings [1]It is not enough. Price as birth where the Buddha Dharma flourishing but innate without integrity, the Buddha Dharma is also not helpful for me. Physical disabilities are not difficult obstacle to the practice but fruit It is not possible if you can not apply to the mind. Even if there is no disability, but if living in a society where the law of cause and effect is denied, our minds are full of wrong views. But. It is not a case of wanting to say anything. If we reincarnate in times without Buddha-dharma, then we can not enter the path of spiritual transformation to end suffering. And that is not necessarily the case. We should identify our luck, that is born at the time that Buddhism is showing. Should think about this, and happy with the joy. avoided any disadvantages as above.

The teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha according to Buddhist scriptures, will stand at 5000 years. Will not be able to enjoy life again after that time.May be born right after a long time. With the light of the bright light of Buddhism. Therefore, want to transform the mind we need to be confident to use all his life when carrying a body like this rare.

Until this moment, we have lived, eat, drink, stay in rain, sunshine, each shirt, pants. If you continue the same way, eating just plain to live. What do we mean by human beings? We have had such precious human bodies, but only purely human beings are not worthy of pride at all. There are countless other forms of life. There is no such thing as devastation as human beings. The man has planted a threat to all beings on the earth. If we use compassion and mercy To lead life, one can achieve some great things-things that other beings can not do. If there is the ability to use the body This valuable asset is positive, which will bring long-lasting value.

Until now, I have not really taken the time to uplift the spiritual life. Ask yourself: "I have accomplished the merit of any victory; Are you really trying to subdue the mind, and help us to be brave in the future? "If you have not found anything that can help you firmly believe in your future futures, then to date, all nutrients to maintain threatening vain vain just as poet Shantideva phi.Giong  [2] of India in the 8th century said: "the introduction of pure dedication have only the suffering and thick I do not know what else to do. "

Lord Shantideva taught: Having brought the precious body of human beings without meditating and integrating merit is foolish! If lazy but delayed cultivation, that by the time of dying we will be repentant and will understand the dreaded shock of fear of suffering when being born into lower realms.

If you have brought the precious person that wasted, it is no different to go to the mountains but back to the hands of white. Experiment to review all the teachers of the past have finally realized. In a lifetime - like Nagarjuna [3] , Asanga  [4] and Tibetan monks such as Milarepa, for example - they are just as human as we are today. They are because of their lack of progress in their advancement. By reflecting on the rare fate of our present circumstances, we can boil a similar motive.

A dog does not really benefit from living in a place where Buddhism is flourishing. Animals are even more wrongly wronged that they are not as capable as we are to choose between different kinds of behavior. They easily fall into the mind and the mind. They are more evil than evil, such as anger and greed. They have more obstacles to holiness. If they are born into animals or fall into a lower realm, then how? It is very difficult to compensate for merit if I do not stop suspicion of the creation of unwholesome deeds, and then after the general network, I will spin in the long chain. Newspapers are born into the lower form.If in the case of just a brief moment of evil action only,

The Buddhists often say, there is a human body that requires a primordial charm is the pure precepts from the previous life.In addition, the body and then have special ability to practice Buddhism again. It is very important that each rule be supplemented by acts such as giving and praying for blessings from the past. If you consider this, you will discover that very few people meet all. Factor on the limit of the root cause, you will understand that the human body is very difficult. And if we compare human beings to many other species, such as animal species, the number of animals and insects more than human multiplication. Even in humans, very few people are given preferential treatment, free living lower and have the opportunity to study. If you understand the importance of this precious human body, All others will naturally start. If anyone throws away the gold in his hand, then beg for more gold tomorrow, he will become a joke. However, we have old and weak body is still far more than other sentient beings in the ability to practice according to Buddhist teachings. At the very least, we can also recite the mantra of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara-Om Mani Padme Hum. Even for a dying person, they still have the capacity to think and cultivate Buddhist ideas. virtue.

The merit of the Buddha - from the beginning with the cult of cultivation to the aid of all beings to the accumulation of merit, and finally the attainment of enlightenment - all aim at the welfare of all beings. sentient beings. The peace of all sentient beings can be divided into two parts:

1 / the moment of peace - that is the achievement of the reincarnation in the realm of Thiet Thiet Tri.

2 / salvaged peace that is the attainment of liberation and attainment of the Perfect World.

All the teachings related to the achievement of post-Hybrid births are considered as belonging to the category of the Five Disciples. For this purpose, the followers of the Supreme Patriarch, , the wisdom of Bat Nha and then remove the defilements to achieve the goal of freeing all suffering and liberation from samsara.

All the teachings about the techniques of attaining the highest level of attainment of Buddhahood, including Hien and bile, are the teachings of the Great Wisdom practitioners. [6]The mentality of the Taoist practitioners is molded by great compassion for all sentient beings and for the bliss of all kinds of jhāna which attain Buddhahood. Thus, there is a group The only people who think of the next life are those who belong to the Lesser, that is, the Lesser One. The second group, not only concerned about the future life, but also the more distant- liberation from reincarnation-that is the type of the San Dao Dao, who has the Ant. Not only attention to the bliss of all sentient beings, it is the Masters The Tsong-kha-pa teaches that although we divide the course of spiritual practice into three categories: the lower path,Missionaries and Masters, but the first two are self-contained in the course of the Sangha. These two kinds of cultivation are like preparations for the Master. When our inner training comes to one Qualification can grasp the importance of this precious and rare body, I will certainly be one-sidedly clever to use it.

Our body consists of flesh, blood, and bone; it is like a bowel but it is the source of all material suffering. Therefore, we should not pay too much attention to our body. Follow the rhythm of the great Bodhisattvas, make your body more meaningful and use this body to serve all beings.

In other words, we need to know the value of precious opportunities around us. 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.23/7/2018.
