BUDDHIST UNIVERSITY (PART 25)

Third, "Patience"

Patience is patient, there must be great patience. Dhamma world, the greater the level of difficulty is higher, there is no patience will not do fullness. Dharma Dhamma world, the universal universe beings, must have how patience how can be successful? Patience is not equal, the heart is eternal patience. Studying the Buddha if you have not patiently patience, then decided not to accomplish.

Buddhist teachings bring the generals of our people into three major types in order to facilitate the learning. The first, the ring to harm him. The world's past and present in the country almost have a law called " good many torment ". There is no good thing that sails. The better the better, the more the maze. If you are not patient, how can you succeed? So there must be great patience. The most important is to overcome the suffering of the gas from his own life until now. This is more important than anything else. The harm, jealousy, destruction, humiliation, harm of people must be tolerated, must see as no work, right mind peace, receiving these difficulties.

The second type is natural harm, for example, very hot cold. That is climate change, you have to be patient. It's too hot, you can not help it. To endure all the harmful things of nature. Certainly not be able to modify, or reduce, your own learning. Must be diligent effort. In Van Quang of the great master of Quang, the magician has a paragraph, a very long letter to layman Vien Mien Chau. This layman studied under the tutor of the old magus, receiving the three refuges. He had an accident, the house next to the fire made his house's rooms burn, the property became a pile of ashes. Because of this, his wife died. The man lost, so he one day from dawn to dusk like crazy, foolish fool. Some initiates brought this to An Quang.

If the truthful people learn the Buddha, this accident should be thought through. All illusory world impermanence, the day before have houses, have accumulated also bother, the fire now clean, not the best or why? No matter what a Buddhist thought rebirth rebirth. When the concept is transferred, this fire becomes a good grace. Few people in the accident can change mind. I must insist patience Ba La, high intellectual level. The big accident is to increase the coast not only for his own career, but also promote, improve.

In patience, there are problems. Time must be long, any method has its depth and width, short time can not practice achievement. In addition, it must be close to knowledge. The body is not easy knowledge, the ancient called " Charge ", the current called " Bai Son ". The present person called " Bai Son " is a tourist tour, completely wrong meaning. Bai Son is a good intellectual knowledge, is a study, a teacher.

In ancient China, there was a well-known practitioner, who set the example for the next generation, that is, monk Chao Chau, who was still eighty years old, still traveled everywhere. Why do not you sit back and relax? Because we ourselves are still suspicious, we still can not believe in the belief that we need to be close to the knowledge, the suspicion or opening, then pure serene beliefs arise new birth.

There is a question, there is a barrier, the purpose of study is the faith, a very hard work. You have to listen to where the good knowledge comes to that teacher, it is the hardships of learning. Say again, the defilements, the gas episode, difficult to discharge that can be exhausted, difficult to do that can be done on the basis of patience. No patience will not do. It is very important to patience the Paramitayana in the world.

Shakyamuni Buddha at the Kim Cang Sutra says Bodhisattvas, especially speaking about the patron saint, is telling us that in the hemisphere these two are the most important. Giving you to let go, hard discharge is also discharge. Patience is key to your own accomplishment. You can ring, then can be diligent, meditative, elegant. If you can not ring, the things behind you are not there. You are the dad, morality is the blessings of the six realms. Phuoc Duc is not merit, but if there is patience, the merit of the virtue.

Fourth, "Effort"

After the last patience is diligent. Pure is not without, tons are tons that do not quit, your career how not accomplished. Career achievement is all accomplished, your career in the world also accomplished fullness. Bodhisattva business world career. Their business is all the career achievement Bodhi Nirvana, achievements beings are ignorant enlightenment, leaving suffering happy, self-benefiting. Bodhisattva market at home, the status of men and women, young people, the profession. You must know that all is the profession, the idea that just transferred the sublime into the holy, what is equal. Every day, wearing robes in affliction, the Bodhisattva everyday wear rice is religious practice, diligent, after meditation.

Fifth, "Meditation"

At present we see many practitioners, each day sitting in meditation time is very long but do not see what they are intended, due to what? To be honest, there is no patience how to be determined. People praised some sentences are happy, scolded a few sentences are angry a few days can not spend, then how is determined. Arranged by sitting facing the wall, look very similar, but only to start the idea, not really into the. How do we know they start? Because they scolded them a few sentences, they were angry. The mindfulness of mindfulness is still favored by the mindful mind. There is no harm in the practice, so they can not be determined.

The true man is determined, the mind is cool cool. What is destiny? This subject of ours, the mind is pure, the mind is equal. Their mind is equal, there is no defilement, the idea of ​​ignoring si no. Equality is not having to fall for the fall. So the elaboration of meditation completely eliminates defilement grievances. When concentration reaches a certain level, intelligence is instant. Enlightenment is the wisdom of Bat Nha. Prajnaparamandana then the merit achievement. The virtue is the negativity of the expectation of attachment has changed.

Friday, "Wisdom"

You should know, expectation, discrimination, attachment is not bad. Today we have many afflictions, delusions, discrimination, attachments very seriously, please tell them, it is good not bad. As soon as your elaborate meditation deep, change negativity into Bodhi, just transferred back. General said:

"Move the consciousness,

magical observation of mind.

Switching to awakening,

vi equality of mind.

Money transfer consciousness,

vi became a business.

Skin change,

the officer of the scene "

Concentration, meditation depth transfer. This transfer is in intellectual birth. Please, if there is no afflictions, there is no Bodhi. The higher the defilement Bodhi, so no need to worry negativity, nor need to worry. At that time, we only convert into Supreme Bodhi. Note the Dharma says transfer, absolutely not say " kill ". If negativity afflicted, the affliction disappears then the Bodhi also kill, the trouble will be. Bodhi Nibbana is the self-nature of the Bat Nha is transformed into defilement. Exhilarating is the Bodhi, because the delusion of the new nature to become afflicted. It is now enlightened to bring it to transformation, not real paragraph. Indeed, there is no Bodhi, no self-nature, then the bed is not. Dhamma is not an end. The meaning of Buddhism says "not "very deep. " No " is not infinite, not annihilation. Not being conditioned. There is no self, no self, so the French coast, the origin of non-emancipated nature, as long as the coast of the coast, there are no self-nature, no self, "the way can not, will not be possible " . Not without generals, not without effect. Genes and effects we can use but decided not to attach and possess it. You want to possess, want to attach it is wrong. The real difference is about one thought.

Four words vow

No Buddhist Dharma Mahayana, from the beginning to the end are focused on the. Good still ahead, we can not not know. On the back of the vow there is a vow, this word is very important. The text, especially the note of ancient virtue, is called "the correspondence of the kindness of the bird, like the two wheels of the car ", to clarify their relationship is very intimate, " vows to practice " vow is direct; "To pray", in our daily life to practice our prayers.

Mr. Thanh Luong on the Sutra of Sutra. The most important prayer is to use the sincere mind as the foundation of the great vow. All the Bodhisattva Vow of the Bodhisattva in the land of the Bodhi. Mr. Thanh Luong talk about the Bodhi mind relatively close to "the heart of the ceremony, the heart of generals, the heart of the moral ." The heart of the ceremony, in the talk said "the heart, deep heart, great compassion ," this is the ceremony of mind. Dharma Pure Land, customary method of meditation in the Mahayana, also rely on the Bodhi mind. In Sutra, we see the condition of three grades rebirth is always " play a heart specialist Mind anniversary", The mind is very important. Many fellow initiates despise this, claiming that one need only to recite the Buddha's name, to the last one when the confusion is still confused limbs, not being used, cause due to poor conscience Bodhi. Eight terms reborn conditions, you only do four words are not. You only do " one heart ", but not " Bodhi mind ", so still can not reborn.

The mind is very important, deep in the heart of the Bodhi mind is the heart, good filial piety. Often said, the Tathagata Buddhas spread the word vow in the vernacular, actually all the buddhas in the human domain generates unlimited vow, bring in addition to these four things. Even forty-eight vows of Amitabha Buddha can be induced in these four vows. So these four vows turn into the Mahayana practice, which contains the fundamental vow in it.

First, "beings are boundless volition"

Absolutely have to develop the heart of beings. Bodhisattvas if not beings beings, not teaching beings help, their Bodhi mind does not manifest, they can not satisfy the merit, this doctrine is absolutely not difficult to understand. The people of the world we often say " The school is similar, the virtue of chivalry", Teachers teach students, students also often disclose the teacher. Teachers questioned by students questioned, or imitation in everyday life, the teacher often feel enlightened. This touch makes them enlightened. If not contact students, how can be successful. Therefore, the fullness of virtue must be based on the widespread exposure of new populations. That is why Thien Phu Fifty-three attendance. If you do not attend, your intellect will not be complete. In this world, any person, any way of life, any profession, good fortune must attend.

By this can know the practice is not locked in the house that tu. Keeping in the house is unquestionably cultivated, this point the initiates need to know. Locked in the blessed house, have enjoyed the wisdom of how to be born. We have also heard, Buddhist monks at home are often retreats, tents prohibited, but that is not the work of the new school, but the work of people? Those who have passed the study, the two positions fullness of accomplishment, is the basic and post-mind. In other words, they graduate, there is no place to study anymore. At this time, should be taught religious beings. The intellectual achievement of yourself is to teach people, this is the routine of the Buddha Tathagata.

After the Buddha is not without work, not sitting at the temple to worship people worship. After becoming a Buddha, they must be universal beings, teaching beings. Dhamma is a teacher, a very respectable teacher, " religious teacher ". In the old days, the same dhamma and the same dhamma, " only literature, literature, literature ". The teacher can not say " I come to teach you ", there is such a hopeless person. How much do you dare to teach people?

So when Buddha Bodhisattva Buddha is also very humble, do not dare claiming to have education, virtue, can be the teacher. He is the other religion, but he himself does not dare to confess. I myself have achieved very afraid to tell people. People do not know them, how to study with them? So I have to hang the sign, this sign is retreat, retreat into the mountain in the forbidden, implicitly declared to the broad masses that my intellectual virtue is accomplished, no need to study outside again, the Attendants can come, the main idea is that. So retention is because there is no legal conditions, no people invited them to lecture business so they use the method of waiting for legal conditions, is also waiting for someone to come to the law. On the face of waiting, on one side himself tu tu, "the needle chain, the wings most tons”.

In the past, learning to be close to knowledge, who is good knowledge? Big names, high fame. At present high reputation is not necessarily good knowledge. Try to find out where the people are closing. The main returner is good knowledge, we can go to them to study, teacher. If you raise questions that they can not solve, you can open the door to ask them to come and study with you. They are not qualified returnees, still have to work as pupils. The main retreat is to make the student is full, can become a teacher. So he is religious, very religious, need to have a legal person.

In the past Sakyamuni Buddha appeared in the world, he sits under the Bodhi tree star look bright, that is the witness of the fruit is also the achievement of intellectual virtue. After the achievement, the law must be profitable. No acquaintance knows him, no one invites him, in this situation he must enter Nirvana, if that is so pity. Buddha to the world is not easy. People have no acquaintance with him. But the gods have divine powers, they know that they should descend to the world, so we multiply the legal. Where are the gods? Pure Land. Pure Land is the Fourth Noble Truth, they are monks, not ordinary people. In this world cohabitation cohabitation, the most number in three places. This world is a place, holy homosexuality, and many places painted gracefully. We see mountain rivers have the spirit, ordinary people prefer good Feng Shui. Why is there a spirit? Why feng shui so good? Please tell them, there are Buddhas Bodhisattva, there is Arhat monastic place there so good Feng Shui. Depending on the scene, there are Arhat Avatars, their hearts are pure heart compassion, full of wisdom intellectual; They are in the situation where the transfer is good, the newspaper according to the transfer report. There is no Bodhisattva Buddha, no real people practice the Feng Shui how good transfer. full of intellectual virtue; They are in the situation where the transfer is good, the newspaper according to the transfer report. There is no Bodhisattva Buddha, no real people practice the Feng Shui how good transfer. full of intellectual virtue; They are in the situation where the transfer is good, the newspaper according to the transfer report. There is no Bodhisattva Buddha, no real people practice the Feng Shui how good transfer.

In the past, some people do not know this principle, see the construction of pagoda temples in mainland China is a good feng shui, see the monk also know the feng shui, choose where the feng shui construction pagoda temple, construction director. What is wrong, the monk do not have to go to Feng Shui. The devotee stayed there for a few years, bad feng shui also turned good, that is the moral scene of the transfer. Phàm phu, the mind is moving, so very miserable. This feng shui is not bad, ordinary people living in that place, the day of birth defilements, the day began to dream, after two or three years, good feng shui turned into bad feng shui. If you do not understand the need to invite viewers feng shui, costly oan. Self must have the feng shui transfer, no matter to rely on the geography teacher to change his feng shui. If they change, Why did not they change their own feng shui? They do not change themselves, they change, can you trust?

Learners must understand this doctrine, should not be cheated, seduced. Absolutely have to volunteer help all sentient beings, voluntary mind must be big, take the Bodhi mind to rely on. In the Bodhi mind there is no hope, discrimination, attachment, so the Bodhi heart corresponds to the nihilistic law, that is the heart. Our mind is so big, every thought because beings, not for yourself; beings are themselves, then right, corresponds to the truth truth. We in the lecture also often say, so far across the real world is a true self.

Today the world is very serious, everyone knows that this result is not good, but they do not give up the dispute, the end of the problem? Right in the small mind, only see their own interests, do not see the interests of others, so to hurt people without benefit. Worldly people often say " hurt your interests"This statement is wrong, not ethical. Some people do not benefit themselves, the benefit of new people is true self. People do not have any benefit. In the past, there was no such ethic in the country. This is the wrong idea, confused island crazy. Their opinion of their work is completely opposed to the truth of the truth, which is called the phàm phu. The thought of the Bodhisattva Buddha's words is completely contrary to our ordinary people. This should be our reference, study.

The Bodhisattva Buddhas use the mind, the Mahayana sutras often say " the heart of the mind ", this concept is the idea, hope, discrimination, attachment. In the heart of not having, leaving the hope, distinction, attachment, the mind immediately called mindfulness, right mind, legs like. Truth as the truth of the universe of birth, completely compatible, it is the heart manifestation. It does not have a bit of pollution, not a little confused, manifested infinite wisdom, immeasurable virtue. Teachings of beings, beings must also have blessings, with wisdom can be close to Buddha momentum. If the blessings are not enough, the opportunity will always pass before the eyes. The period of Dharma is no exception.

Today we have the opportunity to read the Buddha's teachings, more original quintessence. This coast is very deep, we can contact birth can be happy, may credit. Amitabha has said, we show countless lives up to now, eternal life has improved the base, blessing. Being ripe now, we meet the cause of this victory is not easy. Understand the new cherished, know the precious. A certain achievement of the patriarchal patriarchal blessings of all Buddhas Tathagata; Heavenly protection, cooperation, touch can not think.

I studied the Buddha for more than forty years, teaching the thirty-nine years, I went through many areas, Dharma dynasties do not pass over here. Beings in this area, good virtue blessing maturity. If it is not ripe then there can be no such induction. Buddha Bodhisattva why choose here to build the colon? Causality immeasurable. Causality is not a subtle Hindu can guess that is touch. Especially three to four years give us a very clear emotion. The mind is a little calm almost feel this touch, true can not think. Of course, it was thanks to the leadership of the retention of layman Li Jimo, that lay Li received all Bodhisattvas Buddhist blessing. It is not accidental that the leader in the colon wanted to do it.

Lord Li was blessed, proved for us. Ten years ago he had severe cancer, healed. He did not go to the doctor, did not take medicine, only a chanting Buddha waiting for Amitabha Buddha to lead. Buddha Amitabha did not lead him to the world of Ultimate Bliss, but gave him a mission to build up the Dharma directing, leading beings being rational. What is called ripe? Being beings in this life should be to the world of Ultimate Bliss as a Buddha.

Dependent of the Infinite Life Tho can not think. All my life lectures do not leave the lecture station, the law of preaching any of the lectures are not taught by the life of Life Expectancy. The coast of this book won, I myself very deep feelings. Teaching other sutras, audiophiles to attend several hundred people. But this lecture, I found the seat is full. Someone told me, "You have not seen the fourth floor is too crowded ." This is not my teaching. I can teach the sutras, but why teach other sutras without listening, while teaching this sutras so much? The Infinite Life Sutra also has many books, the other is not audiobooks, but this book is especially audiocassical audiophile, this is not a comprehensive evidence or not?

We choose this method is true, all the Buddhas rejoice, long happy natural spirit cheers, so that we honestly pass the faith, without intermittent, uninterrupted, a lifetime decisive achievement. Ly Ly, general counsel, together we discuss. This time, because of the Huayen Sutra and the Infinite Life Sutra, he built two of the world's most towerable towers, nowhere taller than here. He gave it the name " Huayen Song Tower"To commemorate these two great sutras. In fact it also has very deep meaning, these two stupas are vajra stupas, settle the solid foundation of the colon. Like Huayen said, this land is the golden achievements, the Dhamma was founded here. We must pray to meet Mocostro, as well as to respond to this riparian region. The lecture hall here every day without interruption. On the full moon, thirty we also lectured, a New Year also preached. The lower floor serves vegetarian meals for free, completely full.

Today, we do not see any dharma at all. The two largest towers in the world, directed us to lecture also world leaders. There is also a nembutsu on the third floor, every day twenty-four hours without interruption, it also heads the world. This colon, the solution is forward, the corresponding solution. These towers can be called the Tower of Justice.

Buddhist noodles inspire fellow initiates to recite the Buddha. We teach the Infinite Life is to encourage people to recite the Buddha. Remember how? The Great Fourth Teaching of the Bodhisattva teaches the principle of " collect the six bases, pure meditation ". " Pure " is not skeptical, not interwoven; " Continuity " is uninterrupted. Nembutsu, people say can not do in everyday life. Actually not impossible. The meaning of continuity is very diverse. For example, you practice the course early evening every day, do not need to do much, each session is only about ten minutes, regular not missing, called continuity. In ten minutes, you do not have the skepticism, do not intermittently, follow each sentence each sentence, every day continuity.

For those who are very busy, do not have time to practice early evening, can teach, you can spend relatively long holidays in a year to recite the Buddha. For example, you have ten days of leave, five days you handle personal affairs, the remaining five days you come here recite the Buddha. Each year comes to mind the five days, is also the recitation of continuous, uninterrupted. What the Buddha says are principles principles, legitimate, legal, people can do. If you have free time every month, then every month we come to recite the Buddha a day or two. Here as well as the director of the Buddha throughout the year. We take the practice of the Great Indian monk in the Mount Linh Nghiem practiced here.

Lord Ly also broadcast center, hoping the future to build a village of Amida right next to offerings to recite Buddha. You came here, offered offerings. The rest of the night is taken care of by the place, you do not need to carry anything. You drop all body center world, come here on the day listening to business, day to recite the Buddha. He did not build a nursing home, but instead built the village of Amida, offering the true heart of the Buddha, to seek the birth of the Pure Land. He wants to come to the Western World of Ultimate Bliss to make the Buddha, he sincerely offered. His merit is too great, because he offered Buddha, not offering other people. So people come to this village of Amitabha living Buddha, resolved to regain the Buddha.

This particular colon develops to the corresponding emotion. The two towers have very deep meaning, as the Tathagata Buddha assert our beliefs. Seeing such a situation, our faith is complete, not fluctuated, so the great volunteer universal beings. Some beings must be before their degrees. I do not have the degree can not be someone else. But perhaps the initiates see in the Buddhist scriptures often say, " I have not, before other people, the mind of the Bodhisattva, " do you understand or not? It is the Bodhisattva, are you the Bodhisattva? You are not a Bodhisattva. People do not have the degree of self, the Buddha himself, but they have become the Bodhisattva, then they can say: " I slowly become a Buddha," They have the ability, bravery should dare say this sentence. We are ordinary people do not dare to say this, so we must first degree. If not the level of yourself before that of other people, then you yourself three paths, not worth worrying?

We do not need to worry Bodhisattva, may not need to fold into the Buddha. Like the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, the students of the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva who received his teachings, the Buddha did not know how much, but the current Bodhisattva is still Bodhisattva. At his position he can say that he has not yet reached the level of others, Bodhisattva mind. He is a Bodhisattva, he said neither said nor tiger. We have to distinguish clearly, that Bodhisattva is not mundane. Our masters must be in the first place, must be born in the Western World of Ultimate Bliss. If you have great blessings, please tell them, the charm of countless hours.

One in a lifetime does not need to say much, one year two years do not do anything, the day of listening to business, the day of reciting the Buddha, so what is equal. Do not do what you do not achieve. That is the world, let alone human. In the three realms, people have such great blessings, too, is not easy. So drilling not beings, but to accomplish themselves.
