BUDDHIST UNIVERSITY (PART 34)

" The empire"The reality is only business. How to know this business is legal. The layman Mai Quang Hy in front of the Assembly of the economic life, there is a beautiful prediction, very long writing. Preface to a paragraph, he manipulated the ancient records of ancient times told that, in the Sui Dynasty, Buddhism flourished in the history of Buddhism in China, the golden age of Buddhism. The Hinayana, ten sects almost simultaneously appear. Some of the outstanding elite from abroad to China to study, achieved some special achievements such as Japan, South Korea. At that time Korea was not unified, called Tam Han. South Vietnam also has a lot of great virtue to study in China. At that time they meticulously discussed and analyzed analysis, Shakyamuni Buddha in the past taught business over three hundred Assembly, said France forty-nine years,

These great virtues almost recognized the Great Lotus Buddha canvas business can delegate all the Dharma, called the basic dhamma. They also use the example to say, all business is the property of Huayen. Buddhism is like a big tree, Huayen is root. In addition, the Blessed One said in forty-nine years, not only the branches on the trunk. Branch leaves do not leave the root, so Hoa Nghiem is called the basic dhamma. So Flower Adornment is legal.

At that time the Pure Land practitioners no less, the Tang dynasty appeared great teacher Thien. In Chinese history, he is the reincarnation of Amitabha Buddha. Chinese history has also said that there are three Amitabha Buddha incarnations that we know, and those we do not know can not be counted. The first is Master Thien, the second is the magician Vinh Minh Dien Tho, the third is Master Phong Can in Quoc Thanh pagoda. These three have revealed themselves. We should know, Buddhas Bodhisattva appear in the world very rarely disclose the body, but the body does not reveal much body. So I advise fellow initiates to give reverence to people. Even if you look down on a person, then that person is Amitabha Buddha incarnate, so as if you are guilty, can be reborn or not? Saying is like that, but birth is still based on birth. You condemn, Amitabha Buddha will certainly not blame. Conditions of birth are full of faith, we must respect all people must be equal to the new law is legal.

Many of the great monks of Japan were close to the Great Master and brought the Apostolic School to Japan, Korea. A temple in Japan called Thien Pagoda today is a lot of people come. See the pagoda, people immediately know that the Pure Land by the name of the great master ordered the temple. They are very respectful to him. The statue of the great master is everywhere in Japan. As a Buddhist disciples in China we forget the great master. When touring Japan, we meet this scene immediately ashamed. People honor our ancestors so, so we forget.

Again meticulous investigation of the Great Buddha Hoa Huu Nghi Kinh to finally how can complete the achievement, reached the true legal? Turn out to be the last Dharma, Bodhisattva Samantabhadra 10 Great Vow birth of birthplace Pure Land. The Buddha's disciples immediately confirmed the economic life is free, because the economic life shortened the flow of the Orange Sutra. The great monks at that time said, " Huayen " " France " in fact lead you back to Pure Land. Just as we open three sections, " Huayen ", " France"Is the title, the business reborn Pure Land is the main part, namely Business Life Expectancy, and business Amitabha is the circulation. So in front of the Qing, layman Peng Xianqing said, the economic life is the average volume of the Huayang. Amitabha is the subalpine of Huayen. These three volumes are actually a set. Bao's words are not simple. If he does not enter this realm, he can not say so.

Ordinarily speaking, the Flower Adornment, Infinite Life, Amitabha is legal. Original translation of this economic many. From India to China, the greatest number of translations are the Infinite Life, which is present in the Tipitaka. It also contains the five original translations of the great monks. They meticulously study, detecting the translation of the text into a lot. The most obvious is the vow. Han translation is 24 vows. To the North-South Dynasty, the translation of Khang Revelation is 48 vows. The translation of the Song Dynasty is 36 vows. Difference is too big. If the original is 48 vow, it can not be converted into 24 vows or 36 vow, immediately think of the Buddha, in the past taught the Infinite Life, introduce Amitabha Pure Land not only once. Unlike other sutras, Shakyamuni Buddha's life is taught only once, no second lecture, but now look at the five original translations, it can be confirmed that Shakyamuni Buddha has at least three lectures. There are also seven types of translations that have been lost. If there are more copies, it may be more. Thus Shakyamuni Buddha in the past life has been very hard to introduce the Pure Land method. Since many times, in each book is a little less so it is necessary to meet, bringing convenience to our school.

The earliest assemblies were of the layman Wang Longshu, the second was the retreat of Ngu Wearmen, the third was that of the late Xiaogan. Later, the more we win, let us know what is legal. After recognizing the legal measures, you read through a turn from the beginning to the end of this business, not ten third generation all the Buddhas Like Hybrid empowerment for you? That is more empowerment, more victorious than the master shaking the empowerment. We must be thorough, read through once is to receive a single initiation of the Buddhas Tathagata; read twice as empowerment twice. One day read three times, one day you are the Buddha Tathagata empowered three times, this blessing who else is comparable? Infinite Life is too long, do not hesitate. Recite the Amitabha business, too, every day ten reciting the Buddha empowerment for you ten times, you can not enlighten or do?

So the "rise of the stage " is actually the life of a business, according to the method of this business that you go up to the stage, in the Bodhisattva fruit. Quan dynasty, the Bodhisattva Sanh Giad discharge the Pure Land, the empowerment is that the hope is not reachable. We hear and then only hope, can not in a lifetime achievement. You can live in a lifetime can prove the early Buddhism is not bad. Teachers of the first stage means that the passage is an obscure mind, the ceiling is defilement, the destruction of a product of ignorance, evidence of a legal body, transcendent ten legal world, the center of the mind, in the column, called tablet Catholic cross office " Development Center Head ". Primary Preaching ""Is the heart of the teacher. But after witnessing this thing, if you end up 41 items of ignorance, reaching the stage of fullness as the business has said it also has to go through three A rise in life. Should say the three A Buddhist monk to become a Buddha, not to say we are, that is to say the primary teacher Bodhisattva and the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara.

Today, the reality shows that the Flower Adornment said countless lives do not count the new count has a chance to meet. If we are lucky, there are good conditions to meet the Pure Land method, rebirth method can be a lifetime can " promoted the stage ." We are in the colon, can say, is a colonial victorious modern world. We are not exaggerating. Throughout the year, the discourses of the Pure Land do not interrupt. The other colonies in the world do not. There are no lectures every day. Do not interrupt this lecture, not only the subject but also special emphasis on the subject. Master Thanh Luong said: " Credits witness" These four words we can do, do not lean on the subject but do not consider the subject matter, nor lean on the subject of the subject that often ignore the subject. Relief must be compatible, so direct in this world probably also, but I have not heard also heard. Now the eyes only see the director of this. From then on, the blessings of beings in this large area can not think. Direct construction of the Buddhist monk, long Thien good god protection. We are in the United States are reading to the monks, gods, gods, cactus, they do not hold here where to go to maintenance? We are the object of their maintenance.

Today we initiate mindfulness, all practices are related to the business, so it must be clear, legal Dharma of the Buddha Tathagata is not only the Pure Land method. The teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha has been taught as the highest level of the teachings, the ten of all the Buddhas of the Buddha as well as the transmission of the same. How to know? In the World Economic Sun worshipAmitabha Buddha is " optical central poles, Buddha Middle King ". You must know, praised the Shakyamuni Buddhist delegates praise of the ten all the Buddhas. Shakyamuni Buddha affirmed Amitabha Buddha as "the king in the Buddha"It is clear, all Tathagata claims Amitabha Buddha is king in the Buddha. Today we make the mind of Buddha Amitabha Buddha, glorious Supreme. Buddhas see you all have to respect you three parts. They respect the teacher is also honoring his students, this is a certain virtue.

We must be a true disciple Amitabha, should not be a fake disciple, that problem is serious. If you impersonate Amitabha, the guardian will not forgive you. But if you are sincerely a disciple of Amitabha, the Buddhas are respectful. The true disciple of Amitabha daily must receive Amitabha's empowerment, every day must read the sutra. Reading the Sutra is the empowerment. Day to read the sentence of the Buddha.

I advised the initiates to come to the Buddha to recite the Buddha. Why not at home to recite the Buddha as well? Please tell them, at home not quite the same as the Buddhist concept of the Buddha in the house you do not have the Buddhas are reciting the Buddha, while in this Buddhist concept of the Buddha is reciting. You come here, thanks to the air of the Bodhisattva Buddha how to be the same. Using the current speech, the magnetic field in your home is not the same here. From school here is the world's first win nothing. This is the true atmosphere of the Dharma. You here to recite the Buddha, personally feel yourself. At present, the nuns recite the new carpets, revealing nothing solemn. Yesterday afternoon I went to see, very happy. When entering this nembutsu is the " momentum"" This lecture hall is Quan Giai. Has reached the stage of " Bodhi life sign ".

Bodhi signing is the life of Buddha. They go to the lecture hall and recite this Buddha, certain rebirth non-Buddhist. This colon is directed to complete the Buddha Tathagata, to be the Buddha Tathagata bless.

"Vi Nhat Bodhisattva, A Ala Le"

Education is the teaching. The model and style of teaching beings are " making A Xa Le ". That is the total subject that we present today. We have done the headlines but have not hung up, the future will be hanging the two sides " learning micro-sciences, offenses ." Xà Lê is a model pedagogue with ideology, words can model the model for the mass society. Xa Le is derived from the Indian language, translated into " fund crime ". The fund is the trajectory. The meaning of this statement is very deep that all Buddhist texts often say. The Buddha taught us " life expectancy, reciting, because the speaker speak", Expressing this meaning. We learn the Buddha's virtue of winning the Buddha's dharma, can not say that the benefits are enough, not think of the social mass, all beings of the six realms. This idea with the Buddha's aspirations, the teaching of the Buddha is not compatible. The Buddha teaches us to live, that is our own work. The Buddha teaches us all ethics, theoretical methods, we must fully receive. The realms that the Buddha preached, we must enter. Thus can be life-long, it is life expectancy.

After the life expectancy is recited. I just said that you recite one of the main variables is to receive the Buddha Tathagata once empowered, it is self-interest. The best recitation must be heard. Merit speaks louder than non-verbal ones, because they are read to other people, especially those who have not touched the Dharma. Reading must read the words clearly, exaggerated sound happy ears, must make the listener joyful heart, hear clearly clear, thoroughly thorough. After hearing they will be enlightened.

There are some fast-hearted fellow initiates who read the scriptures very quickly, just half an hour can finish reading a Sutra Sutra. When meticulously listened to, only a blush, a word can not hear. Reading from the beginning to the end of half an hour, a word not heard clearly, then this type of recitation is self-interest, can not benefit. Knowing to recite sutras is beneficial, self-interest is to remind yourself not to forget the teachings of the Buddha, to practice medicine. Read clearly to others. If you say, " There are no people around me, so no need to read aloud"There is no human being, but there are spirits, there are beings that our eyes can not see, today we call invisible beings, many times more than the beings that our eyes see see. When they read the sutras, they hear that they have been used. Devil theology Buddha, devil god defense, galactic peace. The social chaos we happen also after the devil before. When the devil is mad, we want social security is also extremely difficult. If the social security, first to make the demons security. To the god of security, the best method is to pray.

So in the recitation, the important meaning is to these invisible beings, increase the coast to hear them. " Because the speaker said, " this object is clear, this is for people, beings sentient beings. The recitation is for beings inadvertently.

For people to perform, ie, medical education. We must bring all the teachings in the Buddhist scriptures right in life, work, in the object of our material. What the Buddha taught, we must do, hard work to do. Things that are not done, we are determined not to do. As the back of the text said, in the subject, other things are said to be small, small, the most important platform only three words " Pure Grace Giac ".

The first Buddha said " clever keep the speech, do not say people, " must do. Three karmic speech, the Buddha does not use this order, but the first factor is the mouth. It is the easiest and most frightening thing to do. The reader through the Tibetan, the future business hell cut the tongue, plow the tongue, ... Many hells are retribution by the karmic retribution. Two-dimensional, evil, embroidery, very easy to make. Therefore, the true person who practices the Buddha's path, the mind and body of the world, let go of the mind, and only maintain a concept of " Amitabha Buddha ", you will definitely succeed. is true " smart hold the speech, do not say people error" We also do not need to ask how to cultivate how only one heart to recite the Amitabha Buddha, should not start thinking again.

At present there is a kind of person who not only initiates thoughts but also sends people to listen to others. This will be bigger and bigger. You study the Buddha so, to the end also fall into the Abyss of hell. A hell have many hell, small, you receive retribution.

The canon of the canon shows three major platforms for us to practice: " Pureness, Equality, Enlightenment ". Every day you know many things come so that your mind how to purify. The ancient teachings, " know a lot of afflictions ". Want to know more about what to do? Are you going to listen, do you say worry? Imagine, after listening to the study, how to deal with, will grow bigger. That is to keep the samsara reincarnation, more to create three hell, very scary. We are enlightened from this place that awakened. The work of others is not related to us, we listen to what they do, we manage them.

Zen master Luu Nong said, " If you are a true monk, you will not see the world" It is not a mistake of the world, but because they care about themselves, they do not have time to do what they have to take care of others. So how to look to see other people? I have just spoken through, using the Buddha's view to see other people. We see everyone else is the Buddha Tathagata show. They improve, show good looks for us to see; they do evil, the appearance of evil to see us, is the Buddha Tathagata. They are all faultless. Where is the mistake? I have seen, starting mindfulness to create negative thoughts. We see the good world, the center of greed, the scene of evil starts the heart of hatred, so we create karma. They do not create karma because they are Buddhas Tathagata. We absolutely use the kind of sincere mood to practice, then this life is definitely a Buddha.

In view of the Buddha view all beings are all Buddhas Tathagata, we must learn this way, it is high. In the view of the Bodhisattva see all beings are Bodhisattvas. Good people see that all beings are good people. Evil people see the Bodhisattva Buddha is also evil people. This is the " scene of mind transfer ". So why do not we nourish our Buddha's mind? Why do not you know the Buddha nature?

" Because the speaker said, " this should work. Today's world view this is not true, see the other is not true. And we see that all beings are Buddhist Bodhisattva, respect equality, that is the practice of Henshin. The book has opened the " function plus adherence to Pho Hien great virtuoso ", that is the true Di Divine. So it is because the speaker said, it is said: we must set an example for the general public, especially to be an example for the spiritual practitioners, to do real, that is called A Xa Le. To teach a bodhisattva to teach the Bodhisattva, teach people to practice, or teach all beings are enlightened. Bodhisattvas are beings are enlightened, help all beings to enlightenment. How to help? I am the mirror, do the pattern. How to do? The verse says:usually practice the boundless virtue ".

"Often practice the same, boundless virtue"

" Onion " is the act of life. Hot start the mind, the action, the crude words of action. That is behavior. Behavior must correspond with self-nature, corresponds to the character of virtue, there is such a virtue of you is the Buddha, true Bodhisattva.

For the initiates, if it comes to virtue corresponds to self-nature, it is very difficult to know the nature. Hanh corresponds to the mind, the deepest level must be the basic bodhisattvas. From the top up, forty one of the great dharma lawyers that Hoa Nghiem has said, there are more than one hundred and seventy unions. Virtue of each person is compatible with the legal nature, so called the legal body of the great. Today we are ordinary mortals, not even a piece of affliction, how to learn to be happy. The Buddha teaches us to teach us a lot of rules. You follow this rules that make it compatible. The rules of the Buddha said are the character of virtue. " Tap " is learning, " usually" is not interrupted. This sentence means, constantly learning the right behavior. Happiness is very much in all the talk.

So where do we start from? We develop a pure heart, pure and professional. Thus, our scope of discussion is shrinking. We follow the three sutras, or supernatural says " one sutra ". In the " one business year " is still very complicated, not easy to master.

When I first erected the Institute of Pure Land, I wrote a chapter of dependent origination, mentioning five disciplines that make it easy for people to remember. The goal of the subject should be simple, you can remember and learn, too much and too complex can not. Currently in the life expectancy 250 gender, too many things can not remember. Bhikkhuni more. Can not remember what it can do or what ?. For the Bodhisattva at home, Pham Võng, 10 major, 48 contempt is too much can not remember. Not remembering how to do it. Must be simple, every hour at a time remember, can recite the heart. So in life, starting mindfulness of the word wake up the new self corresponds to the teaching of the Buddha. So true spiritual practice must grasp the platform.

Five categories:

The first is "blessed" . The Infinite Life Sutra says, blessings total three things. The first is the sky. In other words, in the six realms, you can do the truth, you do not lose body, not fall into three evil lines, eternal life in heaven to enjoy the blessing.

Wake up, parents, you do not?

Second sentence, serve the chief, you do not?

Third sentence, from the heartless

Four sentences, tu good karma.

These four words are very deep. We have also gone through a lecture series. Remember these four sentences. Be mindful of the word of mouth that corresponds to these things. If not compatible, then wrong. It is common practice to be happy.

The second blessed is the second blessed, the bar, the charm. You must know, the first blessing is ordinary people. The second is the study of the Buddha. Dhamma is built on the foundation of worldly blessings. No worldly blessings, then learn how to achieve. In other words, you do not do well, how can you learn the Buddha. The four sentences teach you to be human. If you are not four, you are not human but animal, hungry, hell.

In the " old books " have the saying: " Human gas often love the man ." " Common" is the common five, including: human intellect. If human beings lose their common sense, doing unreasonable things, then it is demonic, not human. So everyone has moral standards. Think about it. The four verses in this first blessing include the meaning of the five senses. This is the foundation for entering the Dharma. So blessed people are placed on the blessed second leg.

The beginning of the blessing is the life expectancy of the three rules, each of them, regardless of the majesty.

Today we have three rules only, not essence. The ordination is also on the form, why. Because there is no root. If the foundation is firmly built, the three rules immediately arise, can be achieved virtue. You must know, Buddhism is a religion built on the basis of filial piety. The first blessing is filial piety, the second is the blessing. There is no religion, then no religion. Today we study the Buddha in a special way of filial piety. You have to go home to your parents, become a mirror for the mass society, it is " because the speaker said ." So, " learning the sorcerer, the offense, " you have to do it, not just say it out loud.

Phuoc Nhi continued to raise the Bodhisattva. Bodhisattvas have four sentences are the principle program:

- The first platform: Play Bodhi mind,

Master of Love in the Amitabha Yue Good Say very good, sincerely launched the mind to be born pure, decided not to change, decided not to doubt or, decided to birth, you are definitely born. This mind is the supreme mind Bodhi. In the Quan, the religion explained to us is the heart of the heart, the heart of the vow. A heart of hope that is pure, that is the heart, is also the intention of volunteering. A full thought, no second thought. We must emit this mind.

- The second platform: Believe cause and effect

Previously I have told you, this sentence makes two or three years my heart is not secure, because I do not understand. Normally, we say the cause and effect of good results, good results, bad results, evil good results do not fall naked. We know, believe, no doubt we are in the body of heaven, but can not compare with the second. My skepticism is why the Bodhisattva does not know this cause and effect.

This causal effect is not the causality we say. Cause that report do not know Bodhisattva. They believe in the cause and effect must be special cause. It took me many years, almost as well as the Three Jewels to understand the cause and effect. It turned out to be " reciting Buddha into Buddha ."

Very true Bodhisattvas do not know. Mindfulness of the Buddha is the cause, the Buddha is the fruit, no need to increase the three A lifetime that only one lifetime achievement. In the realm of legal realms in the Buddha realm, how many Bodhisattvas do not know this cause. So we turn to look at the present circumstances, right in the initiates we have a lot of people learn the Buddha, have meditation, have education, retention, morality, a lot of disciplines, but you say They recite the Buddha, they do not believe. They study their method is very diligent, but effortless to bear the Buddha.

Therefore, the developer Bodhi mind, deeply believe the human core is indeed. If they correspond to the above two sentences, as the Pure Land method said, good virtue in the cause of a good life in a full life. Business called maturity, maturity; Bodhisattva infinitely compassionate. Nostalgia is a life of Buddha. In this life, this body in the six realms is the last body, later there is no longer samsara. Next time back to bodhisattva incarnation, not physically. The act of reincarnation is completely different.

- The third platform: Mahayana recitation

The Mahayana recitation is to read the Sutra of Life, Amitabha. Reading through a variable, buddhas buddhas empower you once. After reading, you must practice medicine.

- The fourth platform: promotion of false imitation

Must introduce the pure method for the masses, for all beings, it is advantageous. Self benefit people.

You can do this four new true Bodhisattva. Be mindful of the words of work must correspond to the blessings. It is " normal practice correspondence chi chi ", which means true pure tu.
