REFUGE.

 Asphalt Buddhism is one motivated by motor fears suffering in the cycle of birth and death, and in the movement born in the realm lower than that returned refuge in the Three Jewels: Buddha, Dharma (teachings and Buddhist monks. The Buddhists, through the experience of spiritual practice, know that the Three Jewels have the capacity to assist them from falling into the lower realm. Po-to-Wa [1] In the eleventh century, it was once said that when he visited a monastery: even among the senior monks who sat in prayer, there were still some who were not Buddhists. Many of them lack proper understanding of the Three Jewels. Because refuge is the strengthening of the aspirations of Nirvana.

"The Buddha" is a complete renunciation of all defilements and faults, the essence of all noble virtues, one who has attained transcendental wisdom to eliminate all ignorance. dark. "Dharma" is the result of his enlightenment. After he attained enlightenment, the Buddha taught, and what he taught, was called the Dharma. The "Sangha" is formed from the group of monks who follow the teachings of the Buddha. This is the basic definition of the Three Jewels. The life span of the Buddha is the sermon and manifestation of the path of enlightenment. The function or function of the teachings is to eradicate suffering and the cause of suffering: affliction. The function of the Sangha is to fulfill the mission of teaching the Dharma and cultivating the Dharma. respect the Buddha. For the Dharma you need to aspire to ask to try to create some experience for your inner self, and you should praise the Sangha as the noble goodwill guide you on the course of the path. "Buddha" is the great master only seven points towards the path of enlightenment. The "Dharma" is the true reincarnation of the place where one can find protection and protection from all suffering, and "Sangha" consists of good knowledge during each stage of the the path of practicing true enlightenment.

One of the benefits of taking refuge is to purify all sins, all kamma from the past.Because refuge will force you to follow the instructions of the Buddha to advance on the path of the Honest behavior. Most of the evil deeds you have committed in the past can be removed or reduced, while the accumulated virtue is increased. With the Three Jewels, not only have the support to avoid. The damage in the present life, but also avoid the miserable scene in the lower realm and can quickly attain Buddhahood. Never give up the Three Jewels at the expense of our own body. In Tibet, there have been cases where Chinese have tried to force people to renounce their faith.

Tsong-Kha-Pa He said if the fear [2] and conviction [3] your just words alone is refuge is just a language suong.Nhung if fear and firm conviction By entering into your foundation and leaning on the deep roots that the Three Jewels are able to protect you from such fear, your turn of reference will also be very powerful.

The objects themselves that we take refuge must also attain the realm of total fear and suffering no longer. If they themselves have not reached the realm of such, they can not be sufficient. our support; Like the fallen man can not help you to stand up. Therefore, the objects that we expect to be protected need to be free of all fear and suffering: otherwise they will not be able to survive. We want to protect ourselves. Shakyamuni Buddha not only freed himself from all suffering, but he also had the power of skilfulness to guide all sentient beings on the right path to be enlightened. This understanding is based on the various teachings that the Buddha has taught according to the preferences and tendencies of all sentient beings. He has left many teachings that can satisfy us with any level of knowledge. When we have reached the full extent of such an important matter, we will also gladly praise all the religions of the world. Because the ultimate goal of their teachings is only to help others. Tsong-Kha-Pa says: If you think of the great qualities that are materialized for these three objects You can not protect yourself. What we need is a sense of extreme fear for the sufferings of the lower realm and firmly believe that the Three Jewels have the capacity to protect us from suffering. This steadfast faith arises through the contemplation of the the virtue of the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. I will also gladly praise all the religions in the world, because the ultimate goal of their teachings is only to help others. Tsong-Kha-Pa said: If you think about the characteristics The great thing is that you can not support shelter. What we need is a sense of extreme fear for the sufferings of the lower realm and firmly believe that the Three Jewels have the capacity to protect us from suffering.

The compassion of the Buddhas is not biased. They do not discriminate among beings who helped or who did not help him. Efforts to "give" and "for" happiness and happiness. benefits of being an impartial unbiased vi.Nhung deeds so only new full bich.Vi Buddhas so helpless refuge is the Buddha and various forms of reincarnation originated [4] his With all the teachings that have been taught, as well as all the people who have followed and committed themselves to cultivate according to him, they are the refuge for refuge.

The language of the Buddhas is so extensive that if you are asked one or more different things at the same time, the scriptures say that you are capable of grasping the essence of the problem and can use only one answer. The results of the responses may be consistent with each level of explanation of the questioner.

Wisdom Buddha can comprehend all the phenomena according to the convention, the tradition of practicing absolutely like watching everything in the palm of his hand.Therefore, all knowledge objects can be tri and lies in the transcendental wisdom of the Buddha.

The mind of the Buddha imbued all, is the most intelligent. The mind of the Buddha does not have an exception in the realization of all the totals (all phenomena of the world) because he has reached the realm of complete escape all obstacles The obstacles of knowledge are imprints or divergent tendencies that are left in the mind by afflictions from infinite longing: that is ignorance of the reality, greed Attachment and anger. When we shake off all the prints, we will reach the realm of Unity because we are no longer entangled by any hindrance. To the most mental, we will be able to know the universal universe in a barrier.

When witnessing the suffering of all sentient beings, the buddha nature naturally appreciates and radiates an endless compassion. Beginning of Bodhidharma, Buddhas emit great compassion for all of them. Birth, and has developed the compassion to the ultimate goal throughout the process of spiritual practice. From Bi, a spiritual state of high virtue based on the inner brightness of the mind, Chief infinite.

Buddhas always use the body, language and mind in the pursuit of benefit for beings. He meets the aspirations and leads beings on each stage of spiritual practice by means of skillful adaptation to the type of demand Tsong-Kha-Pa says that if you have a firm belief in the "Buddha", by remembering his other virtues and his immeasurable benevolence. with "Dharma" is the statement and "Sang" is a group of spiritual practitioners will naturally arise.As such, all the rules and norms in the Buddhist scriptures will be as counsel for each individual So when you start believing in the Buddha, you will also develop deep faith in your teachings.

You should not criticize the statue or statue of Buddha regardless of what the statue is made of materials or how. How to respect the statue as respect Buddhas. Should not care about the form but only respect the statue regardless of whether the statue is made of material. Absolutely not use Buddha statues to trade or to mortgage loans.

Atisha was once asked by one of his disciples to criticize the statue of Bodhisattva Manjushri, the Bodhisattva who represented great wisdom and said that if Atsha thought that the statue was beautiful Then he would buy it. Atisha said: It should not comment on the Bodhisattva Manjushri but this statue only reached the average level in terms of sculpture art. And then Mr. Atisha said that the beams The sculpture is quite average, he seems to imply that the statue does not look very beautiful. Therefore, the sculptors need to be very careful. The sculptors are very responsible. Large painting or sculpture how to make the statue statue is dignified. If not It would be very dangerous because there are many people who accumulated their own bad kamma,

The method of directing one's attainment to the Perfect One is the Path. The Tao and the Absolute have formed a true refuge-the Dharma. The Dharma is something that we can not absorb, immediately imbibe, which must be experienced through a long process. The process of taking refuge in the practice, you must be very clever to work well while away from the evil negative behavior. It is called Dharma practice. If you are afraid of suffering in the lower realms, you should transform and prevent your mind not to fall into the habit of unwholesome activities often cause you to fall. Does this depend on your practice strictly? Or are you determined to accumulate merit and avoid bad behavior? And it depends on what you have. deeply believe in the law or not?

There are two different types of experiences; preferred and not preferred; Suffering, a kind of unfavorable experience, is called the samara circle, rooted in defilements and negative karmas, which are pressed. Forcing us to create karma. Forms seek a pleasure, a true happiness; It is a kind of favored experience, and it is also the end of Nirvana and all are the fruits of Dharma practice. The root of suffering and fall into the lower realm is the ten negative karmas. (The seventh chapter.) The richness of the thrift and the birth of the good as right as the desire is due to pure morality or the practice of the ten virtuous. In order to avoid being born and suffering in the lower realm, You have to eradicate the root cause of suffering by converting your body language, intentions of moral behavior. The level of your strict determination depends on many places of deep faith in the law. fruit; Do you have complete confidence that unhappy suffering is the result of negative behaviors? And believe that the fruits of your will, such as happiness, joy, wealth, are the result of the positive actions of the right foot. Therefore, the first important thing is to develop faith. Determined that karmic law can not be wrong.

Taking refuge in Buddhism, as a vow to affirm, Buddhists need to show respect for the Buddhist texts. You should not step across a page, and the French should be. Keep the place clean. You should not have the attitude of possessing, trading or holding the world to borrow books. Do not wear glasses and pens put on the classics. When turning pages, you should not lick your hands. Traditionally, every time a Frenchman passes by, Geshe Chen-nga-wa [5]Mostly we refer to the revered monks in the mass because of diligent practice that has learned the Buddha Dharma right from the inside and have thoroughly grasp the nature of all realities. people who practice Dharma regularly; those who maintain proper gender; excellent people in morality; Those who are sincere, the mind is pure and full of compassion.

Refuge is increased, you absolutely should not despise any monks and nuns who are pursuing the life of the monk. Honor them and should not discriminate between the sect or the high competition in the same monkhood. . In places like Thailand, the Sangha is very respectful. Because of the respect, monks should not behave in a manner that is less conducive to the insolent person. Usually, I do not think it is necessary. The great monastic body of monks as in Tibet was good before. Only a small group of pure monastic purity was better. Being a monk or not is only a problem. personal choice; but after choosing the path of monasticism as a monk or nun, it is of course better not to blame. If not,

Tsong-kha-pa teaches that the beginning of the three-step process is to enter the threshold of Buddhism. If our refuge is really deeply felt, not just words, I will no longer feel hurt by the cruelty of human harm and this will help our spiritual practice to become easy. Understanding these benefits, let's try to fuse the fear of suffering and let's rise to the faith consistently in the support of the Three Jewels in helping to escape suffering. To practice in the sense of refuge as perseveringly as possible, and of course not to violate the precepts that have been received. Thus, with awareness of death and fear of lower realms, We will discover that the Three Jewels have the capacity to protect us,

Buddha is the only teacher who teaches true refuge and the Sangha as companions who guide the path to enlightenment. The main refuge is actually refuge with the Dhamma because of the will of the will. The teachings that we become free from all suffering. The law consists of Absolute Truth and Emptiness. The absence of afflictions or the separation of afflictions is called karma (karma). Applying a proper remedy to correct mistakes and defending the negativity, they will continue to arise. But, once the affliction has been rooted with the solution of suffering, it will never emit. start again Such a world, that is, freeing the defilements or eliminating the defilements of the spirit, is called a type of Execution. Simply, what we want to let go, such as suffering and the origin of suffering. ,

Buddhas, all enlightened beings are inconceivable (can not think); The teachings of the Buddhas are inconceivable, and the Sangha is unbelievable. Therefore, if you give rise to unbelievable devotion, the result will be unbelievable.

In the sutra teachings: If one can practice to see the benefits of the development of the refuge of the Triple Jewel, the whole universe is too small to include such benefits, such as the great ocean. Measure with your hands. Mindfulness to contemplate these beneficial benefits, you rejoice with the opportunities offered and opportunities to take refuge in the Jewels. And you can mitigate the effects. of unwholesome and karmic actions. All of the unwholesome and karmic actions will be completely eradicated and you will be considered as a sublime superior, a "perfect person" or a "Noble people" to please the Three Jewels. 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.24/7/2018.
