BUDDHIST UNIVERSITY (PART 28)
"SUPPLY CHILLER"
The second succession is " abortion, " usually secular people, we call reincarnation, birth, "the kingdom ". Shakyamuni Buddha said, the Bodhisattva Buddhists come to this world is the reincarnation of the Buddha. They do not come from karma rebirth. As we are reborn by karma, karma has no choice. Self is not master, offspring flow, our life will be very painful. Bodhisattva inheritance, they come by force. They can choose to go to a house to reincarnate. Why choose at the king's house? Because to facilitate the teachings of beings.
Worldly glory, while the king full of fame, the things that world people desire. But the king can give up everything. That is a very good performance for the viewer. If you were born in a poor family and talked about being discharged, you would be skeptical: " Do not you want to be a monarch but not a religious one? He wants to be the religious leader who dominates people, is not it because of fame? "People will be skeptical, so definitely have to choose at the king's house.
Choose the reincarnation to the monarch, use the Crown Prince to appear, his intent is very deep, because the world people have no desire to be rich. In ancient times there was a saying: "You are as angelic, rich as four seas ." Bodhisattva immediately: " I have what you want, but nothing proud that is normal ." Emperor also must die, poor creatures still have three paths. The good thing is to do, have done bad things are three lines. People live in life not because of wealth. Bodhisattvas use the method of showing a good example for us to reflect, enlightenment.
"GENTELIA"
" Taste " is the tit. Dismissed the king. The sovereign power of a nation is the greatest power. The winner of the benefit see the Bodhisattva perform so must be born mind. Bodhisattvas have the name, position, power, money, but all discharge because knowing these things is not good. The Buddha said, " talent, identity, real, lobe " is the five things of hell. Only one thing can not escape the six realms of samsara. If the five things, then your defilements will be big, so definitely have to discharge. People recite each and every mind must recite the Buddha, not in the world.
Can we go? how to go You have to take the world out, you can go. We can not bring the glory of the world to which we come, so we have to give up this world. Quit the six sex education, fame benefits, we recite the Buddha was born. Our living space is very limited, what to do happy. We bring this world out of the birth to the western world of Ultimate Bliss to be true self. It says democracy is open to freedom, all are false, not true. To the Western World of Ultimate Bliss is liberal democracy. In the Western World of Ultimate Bliss there is no king, president, minister, mayor, etc., why not? Democracy. Every one is master, no one owns us. It is truly democracy, so free, genuine open, depending on where you want to go to any country,
The Ultimate World deserved us. And this world is better, we also should not attach, because the time is too short, can not enjoy long. Even if our life span is long, living a hundred years can not enjoy much. It is not worth, think again to reborn World of Ultimate Bliss. So all life, fame, all the power posture all leave the family. Saying that does not mean telling everyone to leave. If you look at literary interpretation then the three Buddha's life unfairly. The Buddha's appearance is a revelation for us to be in this enlightened place to be " ordained ".
The meaning of the monk is that the family has no attachment. The idea, distinction, attachment is the great obstacle. If you do not have the distinction, attachment, then the house is not different, so no obstacle. So the Buddha said there are four kinds of ordained. These four types are said to the Buddha, do not say people do not learn the Buddha.
The first type, "Body, mind does not export"
The present monk, the body has exported but the heart still fame, still greedy ignorance. Although the general of the monk but the work is still the occupation of the home. The house is not big, the parents are not crowded, just leave home, the temple is big. Out of the small home immediately enter the big house, afflicted big. Small houses create small businesses, big houses create big businesses. The old man said, " In front of the hell increase many ." Who is hell? Enlightenment but the mind is not ordained, almost impossible to overcome the hell. This we must understand.
The monk must be like Shakyamuni Buddha, body and mind all the world let go, whole heartedly because of Buddhism, because beings, it is immeasurable merit. The newspaper of blame at about a single thought, can not help raising vigilance.
The second type, "the body is not ordained,
Layers in the Buddhist school, but at home but the mind of the family. Lord Ly Moc Nguyen, a Buddhist monk who was not ordained, did not produce karma. Actually at home Buddhist school achievements many, rebirth generals strange person. In recent years, we have seen or heard: standing up, sitting, walking, are all fellow initiates, especially women. Men are relatively few, but the family has not heard even one. Elder Hoang Niem To feel that the old saying that, in the ancient practice of achievement, the order of men are the most accomplished monk; the second is the male at home, the fourth is the female at home. At present all are crazy island, the most successful people are women at home, next to the male at home, next to the female they left home, are very afraid that they left home. Current reversal, we can not be wary. True truth can not be denied, so the meaning of the monk must understand.
The third type, "body mind all"
It is the good monk, the family is also a Buddhist monk, the Buddha Dharma called " true disciples of the Buddha, " can shoulder the propagation of profit, the succession of the Buddha, succession as Lai .
The fourth type "body and mind are not exported"
Strangers in the family do not export, the mind does not export. Although studying the Buddha, but studying Buddhism is only secondary, mainly lo the reputation of worldly. About 99% of the worldly worries, only worry about 1% Buddhism is very good.
Buddhas in these four kinds of remembrance remind us. The initiates at home, the mind must leave the body does not export. In any profession, in any work, they must appear to be the right eye. You perform in this profession, you are the best pedigree, experience the life of the Bodhisattva. As long as the mind is ordained, the mind must be smarter than the person, definitely more intelligent than the person. If you trade, you will earn a lot of money. But Bodhisattvas earn money not for themselves but to help suffering beings in society, which is a good example for wealthy people have the power to influence them, educate them. Hope the rich people are interested in the interests of the whole society, this society is peaceful, not to be confused by anyone. That being the case, we ourselves also go through good days,
When we understand the meaning of monasticism, we will know how to cultivate. In fact, it is true that shaving hair is not easy, contrary to very difficult. You must understand the Dharma. You think you can shoulder the task of propagating the benefits of succession to the Buddha. This responsibility is great. If you say " I recite Buddha's birthplace", Then there is no need to shave his head. You stay at home Buddhist concept also rebirth. And the appearance of such a look that do not correct the law, the Buddha's bad degradation will be heavy, why? Because you destroy the image of the Buddha. The Buddha is the teacher of heaven, the mind of the Buddha, the words of work are the best examples for the nine realms. You are the bad example for the person you are destroying Buddhism, not the dharma. There is greed, anger, ignorance, no prescriptive rules, no legal preservation, and so forth, so be it! Should wear this sheet of medicine every hour to think of Buddha. Day view of the Buddhist statue, the day open reading business should think again whether we are like Buddha or not? If not like the Buddha was marked in hell, can also escape.
Prayer of the Pure Land, our mind versus the mind of Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha Buddha's mind is Forty-eight vows, we consider the same with his mind. Reading Forty-eight vows to see their mind is not compatible even one thing, so how can reborn. That is the ancient people often say: " mouth sore throat just wasted ." The first vow of Amitabha Buddha, everyone is very clear, " water is not evil" The Western World of Ultimate Bliss has no evil lines, how do we read this vow? The evil road is fruit, greedy greed is human. Water is not evil, the fruit is not the cause of evil. Or, in other words, we read this prayer must think that ignoring greed is not impossible. If you do not, then do not correspond with the first wish of Amitabha Buddha. We can not speak of the Western World of Ultimate Bliss, but the present moment, can not have a little greed.
This afternoon in the Hong, the fraternity of Thừa Hông Layman, the boys, we participate. When he went he gave me a bag, in a bag full red, I do not know how much money. I handed over to Wu Gueng, he said, too many monastics, he can not distribute one by one; While each donor seems to have the same amount. I replaced the stools. The monk should not have greed, I bring all this money to layman Li Yuan Yuan offerings. In the pocket of money is hurting, not a good thing. We have to do it, say it to be done, to let it go. This monk, who was not familiar with Buddhism in the past, dreamed of becoming a monk, but after leaving home, he tried to study, from dreaming to being a guru, and also a good deed . Personality is not the same,
"HAPPY HAPPEN"
Life is a little bit good. The Buddha taught us " to suffer as a teacher ." Often, life is too easy to be alert, and life too comfortable to fall. Lieutenant Li is very interested in me, and I am very thankful to him. He said, Chinese mainland mage was taken care of so much, he saw me suffering because there is no caretaker. Suffice a bit, because of that my alertness is relatively high. He wanted to find some people to take care of me. I'm thankful and refuse, for fear that when there are many caretakers, I will fall down. Great performance, so can not.
My teacher made a good example for me. I received his very deep man. The old man Li Bingnan, who was ninety-five years old, went through the day without a servant, washing clothes, cooking rice. He still hand-made. After age ninety-five, he accepted his student caring. By the ninety-seven-year-old rebirth. Without a caregiver, it is better to have a healthy body. If there is a caretaker, there should be two supporters, so annoying, so pitiful. So I thank the laity of Li Jiaoyuan, but I should not find my servant better, so that my health will be good.
Suffering for the body and mind are all help, first of all the body is healthy. So the people are blessed without seeing the blessing. They let many of their servants, gradually their physical strength far less than the farmer under the countryside. Ages in the countryside can live up to eighty years without carers. You must do it live, do not do not live.
You must know, in middle age or older, what is true. Being strong is the truth, the other is false. The healthy body is the true blessing. Assuming that the rich but not healthy body, lying on the bed, three parents to care; That kind of blessing, I feel no sense, not as healthy people as we are, go to anywhere comfortable, livelier life.
This world consists of all phenomena, we have to meticulously observe, to enjoy true blessings. Austerities can break through fascination, so do not want to enjoy. Blessed are all sentient beings. The world has so many hardships, how can we help them. Help must also depend on fate, have certain conditions to help. There is no charm in the heart often think, often have to remember. Only austerities can break through the obstacles.
" Learning ". Learning is learning, after learning to do it. The truth is that the truth of the universe, the truth of the universe of human beings, true truth enlightenment, true understanding, that is direct. From any situation can be enlightened, from any one can also be enlightened. So the Buddha said the immeasurable method, said "the method of equality, there is no high low ." Each subject can enter, making people enlightened. All beings are not the same, the fate is not the same, do not intend to meet the character like, but suddenly enlightenment. This truth we see so much in the history of Chinese Buddhism. Those who come out of the ignorance of the mind, who at the opening of the mind to understand the nature of the Tanh not less, this we must understand.
"FINANCIAL EXPERIMENTAL, CONVENTIONAL WORKS"
That is to say the meaning of the show. Shakyamuni Buddha on the Sutra said sincerely, he has become a Buddha from a long life. Sutra says, this time he came to the world market is the Buddha, the eight manifestation of the 8000 direct the director. Not counting in the other world, only to this realm is the 8000th. He does not know anything. He saw Prince Siddhartha on the sidelines, saw all the people in society, saw the birth, old age, sickness, death, immediately touched spiritual practice. He pretends to do so, it is a play for us to see. We see daily birth, aging, disease, death, no emotions, unconsciousness immediately comes to our body. When he himself was sick to death, regret not in time. The proverb says, " Do not worry, there is a stroke ," the meaning of this sentence is very deep.
Do you think you are old? Think about when you are sick or not, do you think of when you die? Do you think of the next life? If people are aware of this, they call it distant. How do we get the correct way? If we are taught, in this life is not old, not sick, not dead, it is called right view. Should not think that our future will be old, need to prepare some money, think of some ways to support old age; The future must be sick so there is a need for money to pay for medicine; And how to die when buried. If you have such a way of thinking, it is not a distant thought, it is completely wrong. You are not old yet, but you are getting older, you will grow old very quickly; Now that you are not sick but you have prepared medication to wait for illness, then how do you not sick? Even if you have a good feng shui, you will die very quickly.
True to think about the future is to learn Mahayana. Buddha teaches us how not old, how not sick, and how not die. The Buddha Dharma is true because we solve these three great problems in a perfect way. Reincarnation of the Western World is not dying, it is living away.
In recent years, in Singapore and Malaysia, people recite the Buddha not less. The great-great-great-grandfather Li Jimo Yuan brought many rebirths. E that no one can compare with him, he saw the birth, his eyes see the phenomenon, strange generals reborn, living out, not dead and then leave. They go to see Amitabha Buddha to lead, they also told the two sides: " Buddha arrived, I follow him to go ." They go to Buddha, do not need this bag again. Before leaving the body and mind of the world, to finally end this leather bag must also let go, according to Amitabha Buddha to the Western World of Ecstasy is born in the lotus. The general is the body of the impermanent, the business says " is the body of a yellow ghost, " General Beauty as Amitabha Buddha, not only thirty-two generals, eighty beauty.
Why are they so? because they can let go. They let go? Right now let go, do not wait until the dead to let go. Because now you have let go, you will not be old, you will not be sick. Moc Nguyen wanted to find some people to look after me, thinking that I was old, but I do not need. Learning the Buddha must understand the principles of Buddhism, which is the truth, so make this kind of market, according to the love of the world, then can make people enlightened. Although the text is only four sentences of twelve words, but the process of Buddhist monastic education is practiced is relatively complete, each sentence each word function is immeasurable.
"HANDICRAFTS, MASTERS"
" Ghost " is the fifth general in eight generals. "The force of fire, the devil's clothing," these two statements are extremely important, related to the whole life of our failure. " Ma " " Oanh ", in all karmic, these two types are very troublesome. " Ma " is tormented, so called ghost. In ancient times, business is a torment. Under the ghost is a jelly, is the tormentor. Take the jelly to change into a demon. This word was invented by Emperor Liang. Luo Võ Đế said too tormented, even more frightening devil, so the devil. Take the jelly changed into a demon, that is the devil.
" Qan " is unfair, should call the report, debt collection, debt repayment. This type of injustice is called neglected owner. The Buddha said, ten good are good friends, ten evil is oan. What is evil? Ignorance, theft, adultery, disappointment, double tongue, evil, embroidery, greed, hatred, si, it is our injustice. If we fall into these ten categories of mind, if we fall into these tenets, we will make money, teach us to create karma. So the Buddha teaching ten good is you, the old best friend. We must be close to good knowledge
Meaning here a lot, the oan not only in a lifetime. There are many years of injustice. If we want to practice, these people come to trouble, why? They have to come to revenge, they have a vengeance vigorously, so we encounter certain obstacles, sabotage us to practice. We do not always use methods, we are always fooled. Love ghosts in today's society can say too much. Shurangama said " the period of Dharma " is to say our present time. Shakyamuni Buddha said three thousand years ago: " Devotees say French as the sand of the Ganges , where the place is, say the words almost like Buddhism but not, always make you afflicted, not bar Net.
How do we distinguish the ghosts? Take this subject as a standard. The topic of the study should include the five words " bar, equality, sense ". We touch all people things, feel the mind net bar, equal, enlightened, that is the Dharma. Who says better, but if the damage to our pure heart, damaging the mind of equality, makes us fascinated crazy, then this method is certainly illegal, not the Dharma. Buddha in this place, must " use the power of defilements, maid goods" You have the strength, determination is self-possession, can not be outside the external world fluctuations. Fidelity is that you see clearly, thoroughly thoroughly; You have the power to distinguish the evil, good and evil. So you are in the outside world not to be enchanted. Real world, as yourself as immovable, can be in charge of ghosts. On the Bodhi, the wrong intention of the owner too far. You do not have the intention to make this one lifetime achievement?
I personally appreciate the teacher's teaching. It is not our teacher, we are ordinary accomplishments. The good teacher, we can adhere to. Although the teacher is modest, not dare to claim himself as a teacher, but we do pupils must respect. Professor Li first met me, he immediately said: "My capacity can only teach you five years, " the words very flirtatious. His goal was to hope I try to hear him teach five years. Five years did not leave him, five years of his rule, listening to his lectures alone, French language, a penetration. This root is deep, the main is the wisdom. Then, for all things people change, I observe the truth is different from the previous. Three months have seen the effect, themselves can be assembled.
At first the monk told us, we also have a little reluctant, feel this attitude of the teacher seems too arrogant, too exaggerated, almost this world only he himself, others can not compare . We do not have the wisdom to be dissatisfied. Parents at home do not teach us to listen to them alone, but not to hear anyone. All texts not approved by the teacher are not viewed. There is one more thing, what he learned before, he all do not admit, a squid, he had to learn again with him from the beginning. There is no word to say, we also see that there is still a little virtue blessing, obedient to listen to, accepting, medical services. However, as it was done over three months, I immediately discovered that there is a good place, that is pure mind. Three months do not go around listening.
The syllabus is very limited. Beyond that number, other things are not seen, closing your gaze. All the law does not see, not gradually hear the mind. This method teaches us to meditate. You can open your eyes. Just three months later, listening to others talk, see things, feel themselves much smarter than before. Previously heard not understand the meaning, the present is understandable, has the ability to guess words through words. After six months it is very clear. So I bent to the bottom of the heart for the teacher, to know the method of the very senior monk, never seen before, have not heard, so do not know how wonderful this.
After five years, I told him: " I will keep another five years. " The professor asked me for five years, I followed his rules for ten years. After ten years, I taught new business, all fluently. The root has been so deep, do not keep the rules, self-intelligence is certain to fail. Monetary school loses a lot. Master students teach up to a few hundred, honest achievement, but now only three people. So how accomplished? Stay tuned, listen to words, be honest, you can be accomplished. Assuming you are right, after all failed. But the lecture, but the lecture few years did not progress, not lead the interest of the audience. They are less and less charming. I do not lecture myself anymore.
When I went to Taichung, many of our fellow practitioners, each one was not bad. But why does not one present teach a sutra? They invited me to eat. Old school friends about five or six people, not lectured. So if you can not keep the teachings of the monk, you do not have the heart, no heart, no patience, how do you do? That is great career.
Studying the Buddha against any great worldly cause. The greatest cause of the world is the development of national policy, the opening of the country, the building of the dynasty, the building of the nation, but still not comparable to the Dharma. Dhamma is transcendental three realms, transcendent ten legal world, the Buddha made. The great thing is, if you do not come to study as Dharma, think yourself will do something. Not wrong, you may think, but does your measure work? Very difficult to say! The great virtuoso teaches this method for thousands of years, communicating eternally, and in doing so. Today we leave this method, find another way, try to see if it succeeds or not? You go to trial, if the test fails, unfortunately, because you miss the charm of this life. And you try to test it,
We are not self-absorbed, take the old road trustworthy. How do Buddhas in the world in the world must use eight generals to become, so why not find another way, another form? Why keep the old method? Eight generals of Buddhism is the bar of all Buddhist beings. The Buddhas of the Tathagata appearing in the world keep their rules. Shakyamuni Buddha kept the old rules, the old rules of the Buddha. Rev. Thanh Luong in " Hoa Nghiem sao sao " said: Buddha Shakyamuni said dear to us? Are not. The Buddha that Shakyamuni Buddha said is the ancient Buddha said, " the children do not ". In other words, the dharma that Shakyamuni Buddha has said for forty-nine years, there is no such thing as his creation.
The market " in the market, favorable situation"It is our revelation that teaches us to follow the path of the holy fountain. Do not give yourself the intelligence you want to refresh. When new, the problem immediately, especially the beginner, the more should not. Even old monks can not refresh. The principle of certain principles does not change, and the form can be changed according to the age. This is like our lecture theater. We modernize, the ritual can be subdued. Before going to court the court had to do forty minutes. People are busy at work, how can waste time forty minutes. So we present the simplification of the rules, this is okay. Our lecture is modernized, this does not affect anything. If from the theoretical point of view, from the method to create a new ritual, it is especially wrong.
In short, in the text, in principle, must in accordance with the ancient rules of the ancient sage. Culmination Lam wanted to build the Buddhist concept of Buddhist monks, Moc Nguyen people negotiate with me, reciting the Buddhist path of the ancient master of India, can not be wrong. We should not do anything new. We can not do more than the old. If done wrong, causality can not bear. So completely simulated according to the rules of Linh Nham Son. If this rule is wrong, the monk An Quang is responsible, we will be okay because there is room to push responsibility.
