BUDDHIST UNIVERSITY (PART 14)

The second type is "Shift Career".It's kind of smart people, they can change. This is a very miraculous effect. That is, bring your thoughts of thought back from the holy world. How to move? We have also mentioned a few times. Until now, we do not have to initiate mindfulness for ourselves, for our sake, our fame, our own good fortune, our attachment to solidity. However, we now know how to hear the Dharma. thoughts gradually change, from now on not because of themselves anymore that every thought because beings, because of Buddhism, think so and do the same. Sayings are social, because beings, this is the divine transformation. The effect is enormous. We all day create bad karma because of self-interest, for the sake of self-interest, the future of the evil line. At present, Do not go to the evil director should the evil charm greedy ignorance, has to break the fall not anymore. In the Four Books said:Sacrifice for human sacrifice, "when converted, not only turn three roads, but also turn the six realms, directly into the path of saint, sublime into holy. This is the kind of conversion.

The third type is "eliminate the poor", kill the new life is the end. Poor have created from countless lives, the Buddhist scriptures have an example, like the dark room, dark inside, we just burn a light, then illuminate. The darkness is gone. We can use the darkness for example, the illumination, the light for example wisdom. Determination can be business, wisdom can break the industry. From here we can learn that our school is based on birth, due to wisdom. If you can maintain the world, you must know if it can not be determined that the world is the blessings of the world, can not transpose the business, can not kill crime, even serve the crime is not recoverable. Gender must be determined, the world has merit, but the world is not intended, this is good fortune, not merit. It is intended to have virtue, merit can escape birth and death, out of the three realms. If only merit can not.

Why can not be as good as virtue? Still hope, discrimination, attachment. Self-discipline is very strict, very quiet rare, everyone praised, but they still have affliction. Seeing this person breaking the precepts, the other does not keep the precepts, they also have the distinction, immediately make their morality is lost all. So how can that be determined? The great monk Hui Nang said: " The true monk will not see the world error ," the world committed a lot of mistakes, if not find not have turned into insane? Seeing as not seen, not in the heart. Practitioners are always wiser than people who do not practice, see as not see, not in the heart, that is called not see the world. He said:If you see someone's fault, see if that's your fault . " You see the fault of others, you leave in the lap, stick on the mouth, often say this mistake, great master it is the fault of you.

In ancient times there was a sentence: " Right up high, left low ", we go to the lecture hall also have to go from the right up, down from the left. Saying again, "My fault people are not fault, I self error"They do not, we can not be like them. Self-discipline is more serious, but also criticism, despise, say the fault of others themselves have faults. Here reminds us to cultivate the achievements of virtue must be honest except for karma. The history of the Tang Dynasty, the founder of Chinese law, the lawyer Dao Tuyen on the Chung Nam mountain, no one matched, not only the people of that time respect, praised him that until today, mention Attorney Dao Tuyen, no one will not reverent heart. He is very strict sense of purity, feel heavenly offerings. Every day he ate a meal, celestial beings brought rice to offerings. You do not have to go begging. Great merit.

One day, Grandmaster Khuyen passed the Chung Nam Mountain, which adored the lawyer Dao Tuyen, he conveniently visit. Attorney Dao Tuyuyen heard Khuy Co visit, think of the need to show a little to see Khuy Co great teacher, because heard Master Khuy Co very poor in keeping precepts. He was born into a wealthy family, his uncle is the United States Glass, General of the Thai Tong. Born from noble aristocratic, to the monk called the monk Venerable. The origin of the name " Tam Xa"It was because of that, Master Hsuan - Tsang sought him and advised him to leave. He offers three conditions of enjoyment with the master. First, he likes to read books, want to bring a book to go home. Second, enjoy material, want to bring a net gold car. Third, there must be fine women, want to bring a car women. Master Xuanzang all meet. So people call him Monk Xa Monk, his morality is not strict. So Dao Tuyet attorney said that good Khuyen Chi teacher, there is a lawyer, but the rules are not. So today I have to perform a little bit for him to watch.

At noon, people often bring rice to offerings, this is very rare. Khuyen monks sit on the mountain, noon that day the natural person does not offer rice offerings. Lawyer Dao Tuyen very disappointed, who want to perform a little to feel the Chu, Unconditioned natural disaster does not come, no way, afternoon master Khuy Co down the mountain. At noon the next day, celestial beings offered rice offerings, Lawyer Dao Tuyen immediately blamed: " Why did not you come yesterday? "The goddess replied:" Yesterday Bodhisattva Mahayana in the mountains, all the mountains are protected guardian god, I can not come . " Lawyer Dao Tuyen heard then sweat, shame to the ultimate, to know his own idea is wrong, poor self.

This story is a proof of the words of Master Hui Neng, we see that other people are wrong, but they are wrong or not? Never seen. Others see Khuyen Deities fault, the whole fault. But the celestial beings found him not so. You observe the law of Hinayana so serious, the god respect you, but far away from the Bodhisattva Mahayana. The god of the day offered to you, but approaching the Bodhisattva can not be because the guardian gods prevent. The same reason, we must be thorough, must be thorough. Sin can be eliminated, but how to repent? The ancient teachings, we initiate the mind of the movement of the poor are two types, a kind called "the price of sin, " a kind called " sin "." Price is the only room, the offense, the body is not guilty, it only prevents you create poor. This kind of precepts, if you commit is called gender, is still light. Whether the Buddha has a rule or not, you create a certain crime. Five things to say, killing is the crime. If you have not received the five precepts, you are still guilty. Can not say is not ordained, the killing is not sin. Similarly, can not say: " I do not understand the law, do not know that murder will be executed, so I kill people as sinless ." Lust is the crime, theft, expecting language to deceive sentient beings is also the crime, whether you hold the precept or not preserve gender.

Self is sin, in the five precepts, drinking wine is not guilty, drinking wine is not guilty, but why the Buddha listed it in the world? For fear of you drinking alcohol will violate the precepts, create other bad karma, so alcohol is the offense. If you are breaking the precepts, it is not gender. In the past when I was studying in Taichung, Lee lectured for us. The signing ceremony, I really do not want to lecturer, why? Because no one is willing to learn, no one teaches what to do. I have been pleasantly invited many times, he just told me some heaven. Talking to the signing ceremony must naturally mention the commentator Trinh Khang Thanh, Trinh Huyen. When it comes to Trinh Huyen's story, the Chinese often say " drink three hundred glasses" Three hundred is a classic, is the story of Trịnh Khang Thành.

Trinh Khang Thanh is the Han dynasty, the most brilliant people, but the air can not pass. When teaching class, he has a habit of enjoying music. At that time there was no record player, but in his house there was always a music team, ca is a daughter. Every time he goes to class, the girls in the back of the choir are able to play. On the one hand enjoyment, on the one hand teaches people. His teacher noticed what his teacher taught for three years, Trinh Khang Thanh completely understandable. Being a mortal, not a saint, his teacher was not immune from jealousy. Knowing this student of the future will definitely pass him, the teacher sought to harm him. When Trịnh Khang Thanh returned home, the teacher led dozens of students to the Shrine to take the money. Each student honored Trinh Khang Thanh three glasses of wine. The teacher wanted to make him drunk to be easy to harm. No doubt Trinh Khang Thanh after drinking three hundred glasses, a small ceremony is not lost. He has a large amount of alcohol. In the past, Li said,If each of us has this amount of blood, Shakyamuni Buddha will not need to introduce a ban on drinking alcohol . " After Leung's departure, his teacher hired an assassin to kill him on the street. He was smart in anticipation of the event should go to the shortcut to go.

This is a true story in history. Teachers also jealous pupils, so know life difficult, not easy. For the price of sin, we must understand. The guilty is the law of repentance, y according to the method of Buddhist repentance, white paper, declaring to people that we have done the wrong things, what the Buddha taught that we can not comply, have committed. If you have committed the crime of penance, including repentance and reason, relatively more troublesome, it is necessary to sincerely develop repentance from the heart itself, vow not to do anymore, praying Bodhisattva blessings , strange bridge, touch bridge. These methods of repentance in the text talk a lot.

In the last year of the Ming dynasty, Ngô Công benefited from " Triem manh dien dien ", which is also the method of Tibetan Buddhism, monastery French. This method is very effective. In the Tripitaka three sutras have a set of repentance " Counseling Prosperity Economic News Business, " which teaches the method of repentance. All-time benefactors use this method to repent, this is worth learning. But there are many openings that we need to understand. So the rules are flexible, not hard.

When I was in the United States, there was a Buddhist practitioner, but her husband and her family did not study the Buddha. After learning the Buddha, she developed vegetarianism, the family was uncomfortable. Also, once in Miami, the husband of a fellow practitioner immediately asked me about vegetarian food. If I did not use garlic onion it would be very difficult to eat, he asked me if I was prohibited from using garlic onions. Not forbid, you can use, take a little garlic onion is much better than eating meat. We advise them not to eat meat, but can still eat a little onion garlic, nothing worthwhile, that is the opening grace. Even if these materials do not allow them to use, they will not eat vegetarian food. At this point we should consider that, as long as they do not create felony, the slight fault can be passed especially to the lay precepts. But with the Buddhist monk, certain Buddhists do not allow, why? Fear of people is hysterical, rumored that the monk that do not keep precepts, still eat garlic. The Buddha forbids the five eateries to eat much will be wrong. Like alcohol, it belongs to sin. Drunk wine is a mistake. Many people when drunk get a long sleep, they do not make mistakes, but there are not many people, wine drunk is drunk, then there are mistakes.

Buddhists do not have the law, not certain. In spices these are just like spices that do not work. Some people fried vegetables mixed a little wine, you eat can not be drunk, not called breaking the world. Previously I was in Tsinghua Taichung library, including a retired layman, who now heard that he was ordained, the Shandong people like to eat onions, every meal without some onions, he did not swallow. OK. In the kitchen is cooked rice is a lady is also a very old layman. On the day she scolded him breaking the world, but each day cooks noodles for old Li, Li Sheng Ling who like to eat noodles, she added a little wine. The layman Liu yells at him for breaking the precepts. We often see this joke. Actually the two sides are not fault. Eat some onions do not work, A little bit of wine will not do anything, it is considered spicy. However, in the monastery there is often fear, and the lay leader is not doing anything. Actually, these minor mistakes do not need to be considered serious, while the serious ones are forgotten. What is the seriousness of truth?

You see Sa Di Luat, the money brings with it is a violation of religion. Every day we all carry stocks, this great world you do not notice while the little pick you paint again, is not crazy island? Why should not the Buddha should bring home money? It is prevention of greed, money as much as the mind is heavy, the more difficult to discharge. So the Buddha forbidden to take money in hand, in the hands of not holding gold and silver treasure, if it belongs to the price gender. We must definitely understand. It is a precaution against cruelty, a kind of established right. The Buddhist monks teach everywhere in the place because we do a lot of such prevention work.

There are two methods of penitence, if in the shade, we learn from Great Compassion, Emperor Liang, Compassionate Water, he followed the drill that true renewed work. Do not just read it once. If it can be according to the Dhamma, it is the pure mind, mental peace net intellectual, understanding the truth of the poor. The Buddha says, "All things are not, all things are due to natural charms, as long as the law of birth is not possible, can not be." So we create the racial strain is causal, was the natural law of birth is not even possible, that is certain. You understand this doctrine, innocent entry, then the crime of instant kill. Such entry is often called attainment. However, if you have not witnessed this realm then you should not think bad times. Do you eat rice? Yes, one has all it does, one does not all. If you can naturally get into the realms of all, your poorly eliminated, into the realm of business Kim Cang: "The most intimate property, the French dream as a photo, as a marketer ". " Quan " means wisdom, into the realms as the front business has said " Tam Tam can not,", This is the key, you are genuine liberation, not only transcendent six realms but also transcend all ten legal world, that is the reason.

From the repentance is to subdue the afflicted, repaid the poor, make the poor do not initiate the current, on the repentance is to eradicate the poor root, true affliction to become Bodhi, turn birth to death Nibbana, that is the law of penitence. Where do the penitents have to start? The Buddha teaches us ten methods, the Buddha said, " There are ten things is to follow the birth, " the same is said, if you have these ten things, you must necessarily birth and death, can not escape. three worlds. But in addition there are ten things can make you transcendent transcendence, transcendence ten world law. We must first deduce the ten kinds of psychology depending on wrong beings.

The first is the " Wang falls, start the body ," hope is false, next attachment. You accept the expectation, for the body is self, the attachment of the body of another person, from which the birth began to grave serious. The Buddha put this matter into the first, called the body. We in the comments of the great afflictions in the first category is the body, " Friends, compassion, prejudice, prejudice, wrong view" The five major categories mentioned are the wrong solution, the first is the body. Where are you going? Do not understand the truth truth, in the truth arise misunderstanding, bring your body into ourselves, and start non-human, crazy island idea, the basis of samsara. Where is the world of samsara? Because of these things, so good evil in Buddhism says " for yourself is evil, because other people are good", According to that standard that. Because of myself being addicted to ants, more ego, these things are very troublesome. When not for me, but because beings, the self falls gradually tan, no longer attached to this body is me, joyful state of joy, peace of self. Because beings, for the sake of society, do not treat us in any profession is honest sacrifice. In fact, in sacrifice sacrifice there is ego, who sacrifices? I sacrifice; who do you serve? I have not forgotten the " I ". Sacrifices do not have any, the legal capital, so in nature we have such a way, so forget the new one.

The second type, inside there are defilements, the outside are enchanted. Affliction is non-human market, greedy ignorance of infinite limitless. Enthusiastic, fascinated, fascinated, social today, each step is a pit or fire pit, some people can smoothly pass through this route. . If you do not have true wisdom, you will easily be lured, this evil creation is very heavy, definitely increase the ignorance, increase defilement, also increase the cause of birth and death, so should be penitent.

Third " all foreign coast is full", Inside there are defilements, the outside is evil. We do good in the mind. Self can not improve, see the other people are still annoying annoyance, jealousy, thinking how to sabotage, obstruct, do not be afraid to create so serious, so we must certainly repent. Suppose we encounter this situation, should not be outside the realm of fluctuations. Absolutely should not be said that have done good things but also suffer many hardships, besides hear the words of the adversary of the negative that the good man is often deceived, then do not dare to keep good heart , do not dare to work well anymore. That is broken. Embodied is the ghost, not the Buddha, so you do not follow the ghost to learn? We learn with the Buddha, when the ghost scene, we can go through the test, decided not to fear, not retreat,

Kim Cang, the Buddha said a paragraph " Good men, good women life recitation trial business ," " business experience " refers to business Kim Cang. The person who lives according to the teachings of the Kim Cang business is good, but people are despised, humiliated, the Buddha said, " That man before the poor must be evil, if not life Kim Cang business Studying the future will return the evil road" Currently studying the Buddha, hard effort is also being scorned, trampled, the poor man of this present pay, the future will not be evil. Not only did not lead the evil but also A Da Tam Tam Tam Tam. We hear the Buddha said these words, in the heart feel comforted. The Buddha's words are always true, so the Buddha's students have encountered adverse conditions must also be calm, effort to review. Others destroy us, we must try to think is true or not? If there are any changes, if not, then try to encourage, " there is a change, not encouraging" Decision should not blame others, should not initiate a thought of hatred, revenge heart to be felled. We still have the heart of tribute to them, they consciously kill the crime on our behalf, they are my benefactors, how can we not appreciate. Our study is still a recitation, praying for them, that is how the Buddha told us to do.
