BUDDHIST UNIVERSITY (PART 27)

"INTRODUCTION"

Intellectual property that is enough in the nature, called the Buddha Dharma. " Buddha " is the Buddha nature, is the true nature of each of us. Buddhists often say, the true nature of the nature of all beings called the Buddha Nature. The scope of the two words " beings"This is very broad, meaning that they match the harm that birth phenomenon, the scope of which is extremely large. All animals are conditioned by harmony. Buddhist scriptures often take people as examples. Human beings by the four great aggregates that harmony that begins. The four elements are material qualities, aggregates in the five aggregates. We now call materiality: feeling, perception, action, consciousness. These four are spiritual. Every animal is made up of four great five aggregates that arise phenomena. In addition to animals there are plants, minerals. In mineral plants, the five aggregates are the five aggregates. Aggregate in the front is full, so four full. The four are also the harmony that is the beginning, so the meaning of beings are very large.

The true nature of all sentient beings, in fact, is one nature. One-nature transforms into many phenomena. The Buddha in this place has been analyzed in a simple way. Buddha said, this nature of animals called the Buddha Nature. Plants, minerals outside of animals, including natural phenomena; These self-nature called the nature. You must know, legal nature includes the Buddha nature, but the Buddha nature does not include the nature. Buddha Tanh is also good, the Tanh is also good, is the Buddha.

The Buddha-dharma is the intellectual virtue that suffices in self-nature. In plants with minerals have virtue, no wisdom, also in animal beings beings are intellectual, have virtue. All beings have no merit, no wisdom. This is different. All living beings have Buddha Tanh will be all Buddhists, should be Buddhist, sentient beings become Buddhas. Deliberate immediately followed by that transfer, " y advised according to the reporter switch ." So Hoa Nghiem new saying: " accidental accident, colleagues in the field ". Being inadvertently itself can not move. When sentient beings reach the fullness of wisdom, beings are inadvertently involved, the moral is the same.

" Enter " is the entry is also attained. Intellectual virtue that is enough in all self manifested, all can be used, that is called enter. In the Mahayana dharma, how do the Buddha Dharma manifests? Who can enter the museum of intellectual virtue of self? That is the Buddha Tathagata. They are all achieved, but the fact is that only " met " reluctantly, do something to achieve or not achieve, because self-nature is enough.

On the Mausoleum said: " Fullness of Bodhi, novice incomprehensible ", why stars are absent? because you are inherently. If capital is not available, now you have been called new, but capital is already available, now called recovery, can not say. So say no get lost. Now our instinctual intellectual nature is not present, not manifest, so we go through life difficult, hard days. In other words, the omnipotent wisdom in self-nature does not represent money, so we have not entered the Buddha-dharma.

Talking is easy but it is difficult. The lowest level is the end of the defilement, the sa sa afflicted, forty pieces of ignorance, or at least a new product can be in the Buddhist legal organs. Dhamma Buddha is the heart of the nature; Meditation is called clear mind. Mindfulness Tanh is the Buddha-dharma, business Flower Adornment is called dharmic dharma, not ordinary people. The great dharma body is a buddha, but their achievements are not yet full, because they have just destroyed a product of ignorance, a part of the dharma body, they have the capacity in the nihilism throughout the world of beings. As in " The Discipleship, " he said, " What kind of body would you use to be?", To use the Buddha to the degree, he was able to show the eight figures. You have to know, showing the eight generals who do not delegate him to the Buddha to save the fruit fullness. But he still witnessed the Buddha's result, which is certain. He has the capacity to manifest, so we are in the Perfect Teaching, from the cylinder upward, the decimal, the decimal, the decimal, the decimal, total of forty one, including It is called witness, not fullness. So this sentence, the Buddha's dhamma is the witness, forty-one dharmas.

"SLEEP"

Added after the word " salvation " is " fullness ". This sentence is a magical taste. From the witness to the magical sense that these Bodhisattvas are Bodhisattvas of the Western World of Ultimate Bliss. How do we learn? Nembutsu should be known, in the Pure Land Buddhism called the Buddha. The speech is not the same, but the meaning is not different. Dhamma is the main source of Di Da based on the vow, the first complete self. We each meditate on the birth of the Western Pure Land, each recitation of the wish to participate in the Association of the Buddha Amitabha. We can participate in the association of the Society is the Buddhist Dharma, that is the way of our tongue.

The ancient saying: " If you see what is ignorance Amitabha ," the enlightenment that is clear mind to understand the nature, the Tanh nature of the Buddha. By this can know, see the Buddha also with the great thoroughness of the mind of the mind of the meditation. However, in the apostolate, it is very difficult to find a way to reach this realm.

Mr. Tao Xia compared to our era more than half a century. He often teaches post-graduate studies. He said himself in a lifetime to see through a lot of good knowledge of the monk, monk at home, he said also found through meditation, meditation meditation, for example, senior monk Hsu Yun of Zen. Hsu Yun is meditated, but enlightened or not we do not know. Master Dam Hu said he had never seen the enlightened one, nor had he heard it. At that time, Dam Hu, the monk, lived in the world, also included in it. Elder claims that he is meditated, but can not confirm his enlightenment.

Being meditated is not easy. If we do not volunteer, the future will be born in heaven, four meditation, very high status, great blessing. We know that monk Hsu Yun vowed to close the Bodhisattva Maitreya. He was born in the hospital, this is not fake. Then we recite the Buddha must definitely understand the key to learn. Reciting the Buddha into the Buddha, straight off steady, fast reliable, salvaged wings bend.

Using the Buddhist concept, " Recite the Buddha is the cause, the Buddha is the fruit ." After birth to the Western World of Ultimate Bliss, their vows emanating from the human realm can be fulfilled. In the Four Sermons: " beings are boundless vow ," born to the Western World of Ultimate Bliss, even lower quality rebirth, if they vowed to all beings are able to do. Unlike our place, our vows have been unlearned, so-called " mindless forces ."

The Western World of Ultimate Bliss is not the same, although the sacred homeless lower life rebirth, defilements are not a piece of gas, but they can still come to nowhere all over the world to offer the Buddha, beings. Based on what? Thanks to the blessings of the vows, forty-eight vows of Amitabha Buddha. The new method of pure land is not won anything. The world of any method can not compare. In this life we ​​have the chance to meet is not accidental, not a coincidence. The Buddha said, it is good virtue from grace from countless lives, this new life. After all, can we achieve this whole life? The Buddha also said, people are divided into four types, the same nature is not the same.

He heard the news then believed, then he immediately volunteered, hard effort to study, medical education, a life is born, that is the upper.

Next level can not automatically spontaneous, very easy lazy, need someone to encourage, need to have good knowledge nominated, they will do. They just need to be encouraged by the encouragement can also promote the evil development, recitation of the Buddha, and can reincarnate.

The third type of person is a little less. Have good knowledge, need to urgently advise full words, they are new, relatively easy. So they match the title is hard to cale. The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is present in this world, although difficult, they are not afraid. They have the wisdom, the skillful means, all the advice that teaches us. Over time, we live in disadvantaged society, meet many obstacles, then turn to turn, can also achieve.

The fourth line, however, is unknown. The Bodhisattva Bodhisattvas come to counsel, they can not turn back. This kind of we see a lot in Buddhism. After studying for a few years, he studied abroad. Buddhist Bodhisattva to teach, they still can not turn. This is because their own karmic defilements are too heavy. Outside the evil coast, in the coast also not in favor of reputation. Outside of the charm of fame, in the courtyard of greed. Foreigners combined so they abandon the director that goes, extremely regrettable. However, the Buddha did not abandon them. The Buddha waited for them to turn their heads. This life can not turn to wait for the next life. The next life does not turn around and wait for the next life.

To be honest, we should not laugh at others, so we ourselves are that kind of person. Not today we simply recite the Amitabha Buddha, not in this new pure life, but in the past eternal life, no matter how many times we meet this method. Not that people are just fascinated, they are slowly learning, hoping this life is a little smarter, no longer run. This point in the teachings of the ancients, they cleverly used the method of careful attention. That is the legacy that worldly world we have said.

We bow to a teacher, we follow a teacher must follow this teacher. In addition to the teacher, others come to teach us, if we listen to them and follow them is no longer the student of this teacher. The people of the world are called rebels. So before the teacher attached to the pupil, except when learning with the teacher alone, any other knowledge of teaching the Dharma talks are not heard. This restraint is good, helping students not so bad. Why? Students at the new school, wisdom has not opened, the Dharma Dharma not distinguish what is true, what is false; Not to distinguish the evil, the good evil must be harassed, even to harm. Primary people have no indistinguishable intellect. If you do not have the capacity to discriminate, you can not tell the difference. Should make students have the conditions to be students; Teachers have the responsibility of the teacher. The condition of the pupil is certain to submit to the teacher, religious teacher. We follow a teacher to listen to his teachings.

I am in the age of the Dharma. Speaking of superiors, maybe I'm the last. From me later may no longer. In this life, I have taught a teacher. When I did not study Buddhism, I studied philosophy with an American Oriental. So that the school is very pure, can concentrate, soon after receiving the effect, honestly called to play eating. I study the Buddha, close to the Master of the Chapel. He taught me three years, so during my study, a little difficulty was not there, not complicated. A teacher teaches a subject, " a penetration, the school of training ". Mr. Chen, a year-old practitioner, I met with layman Li Bing Nam. I followed you ten years. He instructed me to listen only to him. That is outside of him, not heard anyone say dharma. I adhere.

If you are close to a teacher, when someone else teaches the dharma, or someone else teaches you, teach you, you all listen, then your mind is definitely unstable, unstable You are transformed, you go with other people. So the chance to win nothing of your own has been missed, was lost. So not only did not listen to others talk, but books have not been approved by teachers nor see. After studying Buddhism, I rarely see books because they have to be approved by the teacher. Before learning Buddhism, before I came into contact with Buddhism, I enjoyed reading so often reading a lot of things. But after studying the Buddha, I immediately obeyed his teachings, not just the world books but all the other books I did not see. Even the Buddhist scriptures, I also glance not much. However, when people talk about it, I can understand. Permanently keep the mind pure. Mind is pure intellectual.

I received the blessing of the great teacher. Every thought I give to him is stronger than many others. I also have the benefit of being honest, it is because I listen to real, honest cooperation with teachers. He wholeheartedly teaches us, we must cooperate with them to achieve the true benefits of education. This can not be understood. Achievement of worldly potential, there are many outstanding achievements. You try to find out, they are consistent with the teacher's teaching is achieved. Their achievements are new, rooted deep, then the leaves are new. Your root can not grasp how deep. No matter how the modern times change, I believe the principle of learning principle, permanently will not change.

But the present age is not the same. When we were children, bound by our parents, we did not dare to resist; Going to school at the school receiving his teacher also did not dare protest the teacher. Since childhood, the habit of keeping rules. Nowadays, it is open democracy, liberal advocacy, so children do not listen to parents. Children, watching TV, playing computer, knowing too many things, then turning to parents to do the wrong thing, do not do the right thing. In Taipei, I met a high school teacher who also studied Buddhism, he said, his children often go home to teach him. They know a lot. Students do not listen to the teacher teaches how society can be peace. If this habit continues to develop, the future society is the world of chaos.

Who destroys society? Who created these disturbances so that all beings suffer great tribulations? To tell you, the first king is television. Computer TV is the great devil destroying the world. This saying is not what I said, my teacher said, American Orientalist. Mr. Phuong felt very well, someone came to ask him, just that I was present at home to hear him. People ask him, " America today is the most powerful country in the world; Of course the strong country would be destroyed as Rome was perishing. If America's future is destroyed, what is the first factor? Teacher Phuong answered that television.

America is not destroyed by the outside, no one can confront them. Only television made the generation of young people all destroyed. They see the day, face contact is not good. The content on the television is the same sex, always around these topics. Most recently, we watched the news media, American students holding guns to kill teachers, kill schoolmates. America does not need to fight outside, it is within the fight itself, taught by anyone? TV teaching, computer teaching. Someone told me, in the computer also taught to make explosives, making atomic bombs. The future, a high school student, from the computer can also make the atomic bomb. What do you think?

The saying is not wrong. Television, computer is great king. This demon does not love anyone. We learn the Buddha must understand the truth truth, must definitely effort to study, recite the Buddha that migrated to the World of Ultimate Bliss. The world is in chaos, we have to move to another place. You must prepare early if you do not catch up. To reach the Western World of Ultimate Bliss, just like this business said, lower the rebirth, is dreadful to the Buddha Amitabha blessing, wisdom of your virtue together with the law of the other two .

The saying is very good, born to the Western World of Ultimate Bliss is a Bodhisattva A Viet Tri, this is impossible to think. Bodhisattva A Duy Viet Tri is not the Bodhisattva, Cross, Cross back direction. Bodhisattva A Duy Viet Tri is the Earth up. Lower down the rebirth to the Western World of Ultimate Bliss, although our afflictions are not a piece, but to the World of Ultimate Bliss with the same power as the Bodhisattva Earth, so what is equal. Should be able to do " beings boundless volition ".

"WORLD PEACE IN CHRISTMAS"

This " vow " is a wish. At the necessary time, all beings expect the Buddha to appear in the world and teach all beings. You see the charm was ripe, worthy of the Buddha to the point, you can immediately show the Buddha help the beings. Thus you have the capacity to vow in infinite boundless world of equality. That is depending on the type of victory, the specific body to the Buddha to beings. The incarnation of the Buddha also do, the other body such as body Bodhisattva, Thanh Van body, body of primate, six body realms need not say, all can do. So this sentence delegates to meet the great enlightenment, incarnate everywhere, incarnate at all times, depending on the type of body, according to the French speaking, helping beings in the world.

Now that we live in this world, our space of activity is small and pitiful. In this area, you are considered free, liberated. Every day you go out to have fun, but your space can not leave Singapore, can not get out of this small island. To travel to the world, you have to have a relative amount, because airfare is quite expensive. You have to have good health. Strictly your space activity is still on this planet, there is no way to reach other spheres. Our space of activity is so narrow, while you see the text as " immeasurable world ."

If you are born in the Western World of Ultimate Bliss, your active space is nowhere in the world, ten places all Buddhas in the water, where do you think people have come to that place, do not need to use No need to go to the airport to buy air tickets, do many complicated procedures. At this place just started to see the Buddha, the body was in front of the Buddha, you say see yourself in what way. We must be able to converse this, space must expand. Quantum world is our operational space, of course including time. Time is past, present, future. We can return to the past as well to the future. The third dimension of life is our active space. To the Western World of Ultimate Bliss, all of this is possible. The text behind us tells us, Depending on the type of incarnation, depending on French speaking. To use the Buddha to the point, they immediately appear Buddha, that is an example. We can from this parable, in any body, to manifest itself, so the omnipotence reaches its fullness.

"EXTREME"

This is the first of the eight enlightened generals, " lower beings, " as Shakyamuni Buddha shows us. Bodhisattva minorities, usually we call the posthumous Buddha. When they are not in another place? Because of that there are expressive meanings. In the old days of the emperor, the prince was the emperor. They must definitely be in the East, also meaningful expression. The Buddha as a Bodhisattva complementary land is also in heaven. " Out " is Sanskrit, translated into Chinese as " tri tuc ". If you become rich, you can not become a Buddha. Heaven is called tri heaven, meaning commonplace. So heavenly people are very happy, the mind is often lost.

The situation of life is too good, but because of the nature of suffering beings, the situation of their own life is better than to be released, that is the great compassion, only the benefit of all beings, not happy to be happy. In a nutshell, he teaches us to survive. Realizing the circumstances of such a lonely life, he still let go. Bring what is achieved is spent, that is the main idea. In the " signing ceremony " of the Nho said " security anonymous natural, " this idea. The word " an " refers to your life, the peace of mind as well. The word " an " has the same meanings as "export". But because of social welfare, people need you, you have to step out to serve the mass society, sacrifice volunteers.

In the history of China, the Three Kingdoms era, the birth of Confucianism, in the time of chaos, his friends are hidden in deep mountains, life does not appear. He also hid in Lung Trung, was discovered. Remember three times to the hut, he had to give up his life safe, step out for social, because the country served. He has made eight words " devoted button cat, the poster child ."

Buddha, because all sentient beings, joy in the heavenly sky, heaven, twenty-eight, any sky is not comparable, it is the place where the holy people live; so that you can give up. It is to teach us, not to comment on how our lives are like, how peaceful we are, because of our being, because of society, for our country, we must sacrifice ourselves.
