BUDDHIST UNIVERSITY (PART 37)

May Fifth, "Suit of merit"

First, recognize what " merit " is. This place can not be ambiguous. We see in many parsons there is a box on the top of the " Box of merit"He immediately said that he just put money into it will have merit. So wrong, there is no merit at all. Salute the Emperor Wu in the history of China is famous as a Buddhist monk, is the legal guardian of the Buddha. When he was in office, he created four hundred and eighty monasteries, today we call monasteries, scale is very large. He always encourages people to go home, see the monk is very happy. So he leveled them several hundred thousand, he himself felt arrogant when doing such great merit. At this time, Bodhidharma, meditation master, came to China. He heard that the king of China to protect the French so naturally have to worship. Venerable Wu is also very happy to welcome the rising monk from India. At the meeting, Luong Vo De told the master of the merits of his protector. After saying this,Is my merit great? " Dat Ma honest answer: " No merit ." Salute Vo listen, then the heart is not happy. After that, Luong Vo De did not defend him, causing him to go to the Shaolin Temple to face the wall nine years, waiting for Huey.

Are the words of the dharma teacher right? It's correct. Merit and merit are not the same. Suppose Luong Vo De asked: "My merit is big? ", The devotee said," It is great! so big! He is blessed too great . " Blessing and merit are clearly different. The virtue must be self-cultivation. We give a simple example, the morality has merits, the public that you maintain the precept is elaborate, you maintain the elaborate world. Determined is virtue. For the public is the virtue, virtue is the result, you are destined to call new merit. If you keep the rules very well, very serious, but can not be determined, then your morality is just blessed, not work. You do not have elaborate precepts only be blessed. Human boundaries, the new law is called meticulous.

Why is there a morality set, and some morons can not be determined? Due to legal or not legal. Studying the law has merit, tu tu tu not legal merit. This point, fellow initiates, not at home, must be thorough. Therefore, it must be legal, because the new method is compatible.

The great monk Huỳnh, in particular, teaches the morality of the disciples , telling us: " If you are a true monk, you will not see the world ." Our rule of law is very good, see that other people do not abstain from the contempt for contempt, despise, and yourself to pay high tribute. What is the effect of such exclusion? People are precepts are determined, from the wisdom of wisdom; I have to pay tribute to the high water, what to do elaborately.

But is the morality good? Good. The morality that brings blessings, is the blessed monk in the six worlds. I do not say good-natured blessings, I say good-looking blessings in six lines. Why? Although they are not human body but only the animal body, the demon body also enjoy the blessing. You see the livestock, if there are great blessings are still loving care, how can we human beings can equal. There are pets that the whole family down, see it as a pension, while we do not care. That kind of animal that was formerly blessed should be so.

Merit in the demon realm is not small. We see many people in China worship these spirits. The residence of the Lam seems to have a shrine Dai Ba Cong, which is the demon realm of blessings. The gods, the land, the royal city is the ghost realms have been blessed should be in the realm of blessed.

So the Buddha must teach us to merit merit. In the virtue of virtue there is merit. In merit without merit. How should virtue be cultivated? This is the first business that the Buddha had spoken for forty-nine years. Huayen thread is still next to this business. The theme of " Pureness, Equality, Enlightenment ", or in other words, our study should correspond to " Pure, Equality, Enlightenment", That is the merit. We maintain the precepts, even in the world of pure mind, mind equality, then our world has merit. Mind is pure, determined to have public, intellectual disclosure is the virtue. If you can not declare wisdom, that is just a blessing. But you should know, the blessings of the blessing of the gender is not the same. Phuoc's concentration is much bigger.

Blessed by the three sexes are entitled, only hell is not entitled. The blessings of the do not in the evil, at least from the sky Da. You can not in the intellectual development, the blessings from heaven to Da Ma heaven to heaven non-thinking non-ideal land is the blessing of the. It is fortune that is blessed, not merit. Intention to merit intellectual disclosure. Declaration of wisdom is transcendent of the three worlds, the elimination of samsara, that is the tu had merit. So we have to understand the merit clearly clear, thoroughly thorough.

We see that people who practice virtue often arise the idea of ​​jealousy; Seeing other people better than me immediately uncomfortable, frustrated, think of all the way obstacles, even think of sabotage, this sin is so great.

Bodhisattva merit

Bodhisattva market right in the society, young men and women. What they do is often called social charity. But the Bodhisattva with the world we do social charity is a bit different. The meticulous observation can understand. Bodhisattvas do charity work, finally definitely help them to disenchantment enlightenment, that is the merit. If only charity work, do not teach them enlightenment enlightenment, then belong to the merit.

Why, for beings, first have to use charitable relief to help? It is the Four Freedoms, a means of living sentient beings of the Buddha. In the business, the Buddha also teaches us "Prophecy of profit, post-spiritual Buddha". You see the Buddha is compassionate to the peak. You try to tell the world to study Buddha, they will shake head not come; But you invite them to eat rice, they are very happy immediately accept the word. Having eaten rice, you just told them to study the Buddha, so it's easier, because receiving the gift then, not listening will be very difficult. So the Buddha used this kind of charity: generous, loving speech, companion, profit are all to life beings. Then tell them the truth of the cosmic universe, the true nature of ourselves and the circumstances of our life. When they understand the truth, they will turn to the shore.

If accepting the generals that do, so is still the blessing. If you leave the general, not the general, the third can not do, that is to benefit the welfare of the merits. By humanity is determined, is the merit of his own learning. These two types of merit will be envious, obstacles. So when we have to have intellectual knowledge of high degrees, must have clever means. Our status as low as possible, treat any person as critique, destroyer, sabotage us, we must also use the heart of reverence treat them, make them gradually moving, can turn enlightened head. We bring the destiny turned into good grace, turn the evil work turned into genuine merit, which is called custom. We must do it ourselves; Become a good example can teach beings.

Today, everywhere in the world, wherever we go, we have a total goal, the total direction, "Learning the Sphinx, the Divine Action." All the Mahayana Dharma are no more than these two sentences. He is exemplary, absolutely not about the monk. Every house practitioner has to be an accomplice. In the present work, in the present life must be a good example for the public, that is the penalist. The Bodhisattva Buddhas are the best example for all sentient beings. We must understand this.

In the past, I said, someone asked me, parents are very difficult to supervise children. Children do not listen to parents, students do not listen to the teacher, workers do not listen to the boss, it is a serious problem in society. The world is full of intelligent leaders, many academics and religious leaders are looking for ways to solve today's social problems. Where did the mistake come from? Last year, I went to the Beijing Normal University, seeing that there were eight words in the school: " Learning from the Sphinx, the Body of the Faith, " because of the short time in school. . The ancient Chinese patriarch taught us "to act, to work, to work ," so when I saw these eight words immediately associated. Confucius teaches us "the military spending, the expenditure itself, the chi masters ", we can not understand in a narrow sense. With this statement, thinking that Confucius expects the leader of the nation, unrelated to ordinary people like us, so wrong. The teachings of Confucianism and the Buddha are for all beings, not class, male and female, young and old; no occupation.

What is force? Be a good leader, kind; For their subordinates to sincere care, sincere love, sincerely direct them. You are a good leader and must be a relative. Use the mind of parents love lower level. In ancient China, the head of the local government called the patriarch. At present, the democratic era is called the servant of the people. Tu tuanh is the master, the servant. Relative boss, servants at times also deceive the owner. This way of calling does not show true honesty to you. But parents who love children do not have conditions. So we still hope the mandarins are our parents, not our servants. The servants are so untrustworthy, parents are much more reliable than servants. Leaders must be relatives, bring the mind of parents.

No matter how our status today, even a low-level worker must do these three conditions. Without this position, there is no place for these three types of mind to influence our own colleagues, affect our friends and acquaintances, and then expand our social, People can develop "mind , body, work, " this is called sincerity as the merit. Benefit for people, the virtue of interests do have obstacles? Not only do not have obstacles, but also resolve the whole force of gratitude to help the general public to develop together, bringing the true benefits society.

The good of evil world too much, why the Buddha specifically stated "the harmony of merit"? Because the Buddhist mind disturbance of the gas of all beings accumulated from countless lives. Each and every one of them has a greedy temperament from birth, no need to teach. You keep a close eye on children. How many months old babies do not speak, put two children of the same age. A child has candy eat, the other does not, the jealous minds emerge, they compete with each other. You see, who teaches them? Rewrite the merit of the heart is the arrogant mind, jealousy, especially jealousy. Chastity arrogant creation is extremely poor, but if the middle of a thought of conversion, immediately turn into immeasurable merit. The Buddha is different in this place. Beings can not be transferred, depending on the negativity rolling in birth six realms. And the Buddhas Bodhisattva in about a concept of transformation, achievement of immeasurable merit. So we have to learn to move, transfer is very fast. After the transfer, then the merit of great merit, you just how much virtue, not necessarily different. Absolutely can not say this man meritorious merit, their merits are great, I just like the little virtue. There is no such thing.

People are suffering miserably, you just as well as the merit as big as them. So how much benefit do you see? The Buddha taught us the merits of Amitabha Buddha transformed into his own merit. How to move? Y according to this business that study. The Buddha taught us to live, to recite, because the speaker spoke. You just need to do these three sentences, then transfer the merit from the countless lives of Amitabha Buddha to the merits of his own. At the same time we teach, we share the same spirit, volunteering, the same virtue, with the Buddha Amitabha Buddha, his merit transformed into his own merit, which is the most intelligent . If you practice the merits of Amitabha Buddha only rely on yourself, then you have to cultivate in what lifetime? We in the short decades of life, just understand the moral, understand this method, The practice of the Buddha for a number of years with Amitabha Buddha practiced countless hours. Huayen says "birth anniversary dung ", we can come true. So do not despise missed opportunities, definitely take this opportunity, a lifetime of accomplishment merit fullness.

The Lord Ly Moc Nguyen build the colon, inviting the magician to know how much power. That is his merit. Today we come here gladly, so his full virtue, we all get. You introduce your dear friends to hear the business, is also you take advantage of the director, take advantage of this charm of the layman Li Jiao that the degree of being a Buddha, you say your merits are great are not? They may live a single life can be spiritual education, can be reborn or not, that is another matter, nothing, just go to the director, see the Buddha statue, listen to a sentence two, " once Listen to the ear, forever planted good . Seeds of permanent ginkgo will not decay, there will be encountered on the current condition, the future they recite Buddha will rebirth Buddha.

May Friday, "Divert the wheel"

Many initiates profoundly felt their karma severely, accidentally. Nobody thinks of a way to kill karma? how to avoid crashes? Then to the Buddha's door, the shrine gods incense, worship the Buddha and god protect. Can you do this? We must observe calmly. How many people can pray? The bridge is not, people still come to the bridge busy. Even know the bridge is not expected but still go, but better than the bridge. They kept embracing the psychology of sewing.

The word of the Buddha said no hope, that "the Buddha meditation, meet all the requirements ", that is not true, there is a need to meet. You can find the Buddha can reach, this is the hardest part of the world. Buddha, but also other things are just trivial things, there is something that can not be. But the Buddha taught us to pray is to teach us as the law that the bridge, you can achieve. Your expectations must be legitimate. If it is not reasonable, not legal, you definitely do not need. The law of causality is what the Buddha teaches us. You have to cultivate, then the new karmic results. Conversion of the wheel to resolve these views.

Our lectures are not just about the audience. People are sitting in front of the TV screen, because these tapes are brought to the satellite TV station for broadcast. TV stations require our content to be beautiful. They have told me so many times, to find art experts who draw screen backgrounds. I think behind us only a few flowers, the scene is not so good. This morning, I went to the flower shop to see and choose these plants. The meaning of the tree is very deep. Feeling is life, founding. To set up the director, to set up Buddhism, to establish the birth of the universe. Flowers, I especially choose the national flower of Singapore. Yes, I picked the pomegranate. Good pomegranate, many seeds, are the expression. There are trees, flowers, fruit, behind hanging stars by accident. Very good. There are Buddhas, there are books, full of Three Jewels, we do not need to spend a bit of strength, to ask people to draw context. Flower sellers are also very enthusiastic, each week they will change once in about five years. As the air conditioner blows, these plants can be more dynamic, lively than canvas.

Often we do not see the audience, we do not know how much. When it was broadcast in the United States, fellow initiates in the United States told me, there were twenty thousand people signaling. This number is constantly increasing. So TV stations require us to use state-of-the-art machines to produce the best data. Everything we meet, hoping to reach their standards. Penthouse is currently installed, four sides are soundproof, under the carpet. Lay practitioners always hope that every fellow practitioner goes to the lecture hall to sit for two hours to enjoy, to comfortably discuss Buddhist teachings and teach sutras.

In short, " turning the wheel " is the method of earning the most victims. Do any merit to dispose of the disaster is not equal to invite the Buddhist teaching, acting Buddha Dharma. The listener happy mind, the birth of enlightened mind. Enlightenment, the new genuine accident can be eliminated. Inadvertently, there is an accident. Where did the karma come from? from mesmerizing, crazy out; From false thoughts, wrong interpretations, false acts of ours arise. So you have to bring the notion of converting into right view is the right view of karma accident beginningless lifetimes can be neutered, have such merit, " sometimes turning of the wheel"Will be very big, very deep meaning. If we alone can not find the shaman, we can associate some practitioners to gather forces, everyone together, the merit is the same, the win is not equal. Teaching the sermon influence the larger the merit will be as large; The deeper the influence, the deeper the virtue.

Today, in every society, every area, city, town, many people view Buddhism as a religion, it is a great misunderstanding. We are the same people, especially those who have been exposed to Buddhism, first have to correct this misconception, then can introduce Buddhism to them. If you do not edit, then you have the wrong start, then continue to false to the same. This we can not ignore. So the transformation of everyone's mistakes is boundless merit, we must definitely think of its profound influence. Where are the big influences? The more the colonists in the Buddha's house, the more they hear, the more the influence of misconceptions is not strong enough.

In place for the Buddhist dharma thought, because all beings that worry, our minds will grow. Bhagavan is special because we show in the Great Hall of the United States Buddhist Sutra. Another week we will start this sutra. This sutra is not taught to the Bodhisattvas, although attending the Huayen Festival is forty-one dharmas, or in other words, not being sentient beings in the Ten Dharma Realms, not even Buddhas. slapped in ten legal world. Buddha in the ten world, if according to the way of Tiantai, is the Buddha of Buddhism, the Buddha of the doctrine, not out of ten legal world. Teachings, transcendental teachings are not because the Bodhisattva, not because the barbarians prune, so why? Because ordinary people and beings.

We are ordinary beings, are beings so we have. However, one must satisfy one condition, that is, the ordinary mind. The psychoanalyst is not small but must be large. How big? Of course, it must be as big as the Buddha, the mind of the Buddha is not over all the legal world. If we have such a great volume, the Flower Adornment just touched the fullness, true no less lack of any. The Huayut teachings of the average living capital of the Bodhisattva life, the life of the fullness of life, is also the three types of truth that Life Sense Life said " The true wisdom, "the" true wisdom benefits ". The three types of true money do not have to wait until the time, that is the real interest.

As you may know, inviting lecturers to teach business is extremely important. Today's society, because people do not recognize the Buddha, do not understand the Buddha Dharma, said that there are many types of Buddhist scriptures can help drain the disaster, that is serious misunderstanding. Are Buddhist ritual episodes effective or not? Yes, but you have to know what it means to be effective. Understanding the meaning of it, only on the form and not get any effect. Y in the form to do is not. For example meditation, the past great virtuous monk, when the study came to study, teacher, senior monk did not say anything, only give a finger. Those who come to school have seen the enlightenment, the results. Now, if someone else asks, Can we give a finger? Can they be enlightened? Not just enlightenment but also fascinated crazy. So there can not be only movement, but what type of people they are.

In the past, their rituals were effective, and now we follow these rituals that are ineffective. So our flat in the Buddhist rules only initiated two early evening chanting course, lock the Buddha, the same period of thought. Do the meditation period, first carefully met through the once. The best Royal Repentance must also be meticulous reminding Luong Hoang once. Participants must strive to listen, then in the ritual where the text of the restaurant. You do not know anything with the etiquette is not, so it is no different to draw a lot, no matter how drawn there is no internal content. Therefore, it is necessary to have a lecturer who teaches the sutra, which is the true karmic retribution, true freedom from all accidents.

In fact, there are still a method to recite the Buddha. Find some people to dissemble, more or less does not matter. We seek a holiday so that everyone has time, then find a place of pure purity that can recite one day a night, two days two nights, or up to ten days. That virtue is infinitely more boundless, more effective than any reminder. Should not think that a Buddhist sentence easy to recite, do have merit. Essentially, Buddhist merit can not think.

May Saturday, "the Buddha's head"

This is also very important. Currently, the Buddha is no longer in the world, so we can only manipulate the Buddha statue to donate, symbolizing the Dharma world often. The great masters who say the Buddha Dharma, we have to invite them to stay in this place to teach the long-talking dhamma, we will receive real benefits. Try to think, how many people heard a business immediately enlightenment? No, so what should I do? Day to hear. Today, blessings are not equal to the ancients. In ancient times in the forest monastery of China, every day teaching business is not interrupted. There is always a lecture hall.

Historical records, Master Thanh Luong in ancient Hoa Hac script, can say before and then no one to lecture him. He has been through fifty times. The person who was close to Master Thanh Luong if he had patiently listened to fifty times had no reason to do so. A lecture through at least a year. Listen fifty turn takes fifty years. Fifty years, the day of the training is reasonable but not enlightened.

Today we listen to difficult business is where? On a hot day, to ten days cold, every day lectures, training not more than two hours. Twenty-four hours only two hours to hear business, still twenty-two hours start thinking, you say see what accomplishment. The old Buddhist monk was in the past eight hours teaching. A Sutra Suffering eight hours a day, one full year of teaching. We have two hours of lecture every four years to be full. Thanh Luong was much better than him, he lived over a hundred years, people called it Bodhisattva Avatamsya. In addition, he and the mass also in the Buddhist nembutsu recite eight hours, do have time to start thinking. They are in three categories this year ashrams more efficient today we cultivate thirty years, is called " secular religious orders", The training is too great.

At the beginning of the National People's Congress, the Chinese colonial is roughly one place, which is the direct Buddhist concept of the Buddhist monk Quang Linh at Linh Nham Pagoda, Son Su Chau. He did not lecture business, no Dharma conference, no legal meditation, but the Buddha throughout the year, a Buddha concept to the same. Each day six cilantro, each incense a half hour. Six cumin is nine hours. Every day recite Buddha nine hours. Day and night uninterrupted, dark evening alternating. During the year of dilapidated Buddha. His seven-folded Buddhist practice is composed of nine incarnations, nine incarnations of the Buddha's name. So in every place in the Buddhist concept of India Buddhist nembutsu organization several years, not discussed at home are born rebellious good generals. After the birth of rebirth, the old magic Dieu Chan, German successor inherited the old, maintain a period of time. After five years of resistance, the colon decreases. At present, if we want to build a new colon, there is not enough chance. Only the director can train the new birth, new real achievements beings.

So the construction of the infinite merit immeasurable. To build a direct colon leg study, real people there to become a Buddha, reincarnated into Buddhism, the merit of the director will be very large, attracting a lot of knowledge of interest and will do according to the. How do good knowledge stay here? True people learn Buddhist monks do not have their own love, do not say love, so do not use good hospitality to keep them again. We use the method of medical education. We really want to learn, really want to cultivate, everyone to play the heart, even if not find good, the Bodhisattva Buddha will also come here. The Buddha often said, " Buddha meditation, the most irresponsible personality"So who is that person? Truthfully want to learn, sincerely want to cultivate, sincere wish this life into the Buddha. This is the average mind that Hoa Nghiem said. What is the center of ordinary people do not have the Buddha Tathagata does not mingle, the problem is that we have emitted the heart, not so that can touch the common knowledge of this area, so that we have Long-lasting grace can be a real benefit.

Established the Dharma TV channel

Today science development, people understand dharma too little. Dhamma practitioners are bodhisattvas, not ordinary people. Now the real people have great wisdom, great blessing, no need to build the colon, but should build satellite television, lecture business twenty four hours non-stop so that people around the world can see. They do not need the colon but only at home to open the television. If they sincerely want to study the Buddha, they can listen to the eighth hour every day.

To train some mages is like organizing a mission. Only ten, twenty, is enough. These masters day in the recording room, teaching the recording. Then the tapes were brought to the satellite broadcasting station. It is a high-tech scientific director. We have to do that. Should not spend money to build pagodas, bring money buried to the ground unfortunately, no great effect. We have to put that money into a useful place. Most important is fostering professors, recording lectures recorded. Sound recording studio equipment must be professional. In addition, on weekdays we also offer these masters in the material life so that they do not worry, the mind can calm but study the Mahayana Dharma, lecture each set recording record, similar Hybrid will be a live Tibetan Tripitaka. How do you think the meaning? Wherever they are, they love to hear what they are saying.

In addition to teaching the Dharma, we also help people recite the Buddha. Twenty-four hours of unbroken Buddha statue, the most stately Buddha displayed on television screen. Audiences see Buddha Amitabha, hear the Buddha's name Amitabha immediately followed by that concept. At home can also practice Buddhist furniture, can also one day listening to the eight hours, reciting Buddha eight hours. You see our blessings are not different from the ancients. The old people spend a lot of energy building a lot of new colonists can be universal beings. Today we use a satellite TV is enough. Do not buy other people's channels, because they will have to be controlled by the time. If you are truly talented, this kind of wisdom should be a professional channel, broadcasting satellite television of Buddhism, broadcasting all over the world.

Today we are not strong enough to bring this thought to every practitioner. Everyone has the same idea, each person often think the event will succeed, the thought of success. If only one person thinks the strength is very weak. People think the Buddha will help. Lay practitioners often say, although we do not have the blessings but Amitabha Buddha is blessed. How much does it cost to develop such a great director? Although we do not dare to think of financial resources, we still keep thinking. Buddha Amitabha will bring the money, how much will he bring to it, will definitely achieve. That is the purpose of "the Buddha ," a very important thing.

Establishment of the Institute of Translation

The present world is due to the convenient transportation, the expansive life, each area need to have Buddhism. What do we have many teachers to the place to teach the Dharma talks. That is extremely difficult. Therefore, thanks to science and technology, the number of professors can also bring Buddhism to the world. If there is more grace, we can translate the words into the necessary languages ​​to propagate the Dharma around the globe, so that everyone will gain the benefits of Buddhism, the value of this will deepen. wide. Now, thanks to science, it is more convenient than before.

Today we are short of the lack of protection, there is no caretaker. Because there is no caretaker, translation work is difficult. Interpretation of the business must be according to ancient regulations, certainly not one of two independent translations of a business. Days before the Chinese translation of the business are done by the collective. Everyday participation in business, it is a conference. Some lecturers to lecture this business, all translators are engaged in listening to lectures, true listening comprehension, complete wall and then start the draft. Suspected or immediately asked. After the translation of the manuscript, must read to the audience, see the public have any ideas, there is a word or not to lucrative, tu tu, make the translation is fine, fine people exposed Business can be happy birthday. So the translation should not be done by one person but by the composer. We see the Buddhist scriptures have the translator on the subject. The man on the subject is the editor in the director of business, it is not certain he translated. He must bear the name of his responsibility to this translation, also to prove that the translation is not wrong, can be circulated, they are fully responsible.

The history of records, the school of La Thap more than four hundred people, the school of Master Xuanzang more than six hundred people, are specialized. Previously a layman in the United States, a person with a mind, invited many people to translate Chinese scripts into English, expensive enough. The number of translations is also relatively good. When I arrived in New York, he took me to visit the library of New York University. He borrowed some rooms in the library as a Buddhist library. He told me that for many years he had invited people to translate the Buddhist scriptures into English, which were a large stack of manuscripts but could not be used. I nod, can not really use, why? Find only some people who know Chinese and English to translate. Interpreter does not understand the Dharma should translate only meaning,

Formerly layman Li Bingnan told me, there is an American Buddhist scholars visiting Taiwan to visit. It was said that Taichung had a layman, Li Bingnan, who was a great Buddhist monk. He immediately came to the retreat and asked some questions. Professor Li explained to him, but this man is very unhappy, shaking his head is not satisfied. Professor Li immediately invited him through the interpreter, then Li also shook his head not agree. The exchange was very difficult, luckily he brought with him a book of Buddhist dictionaries translated into English. Professor Li suggested him to test the " dormitory " is what. We have known refuge in the Buddhist religion, but try to explain how the " formula " in the English Buddhist dictionary how? He translated, " dormancy"Are the two most precious feet. Correct. " II " is two, " sufficiency " is the truth, " religion " is precious. Master Li heard and laughed, did not say anymore. Finally, he said, "You can go, my dharma abroad is understood. " It is known as the United States but not the Buddha, completely based on the word to translate. It is true that the Buddha said, " Medicine interpretation , three Buddha Buddha , three generations of Buddhists are all unfair function. In the opening business has taught " True Tathagata Award ", it is not easy.

At that moment, I immediately petitioned the layman Tham Gia Trinh that he had made a mistake, translating very importantly. If you want to translate a business, you must first find the virtues that have been learned from this sutra; invited him to preach; At the same time invite people involved in translation business to hear. To hear through a clear way; Have any questions to ask immediately, then can pen down the draft. When the draft is accomplished, it must continue to be discussed. The best manuscripts for the great virtues are studied there tu studied. Invite them to correct, then make a complete book, so the circulation will not have problems.

Interpretation of business is very difficult and very important, Huay translation is more difficult. In each sentence, each word of Hoa Nghiem has deep meaning. If you do not understand it, the whole text turns into " noble legs ", nothing. So the translation was not resolved by some people sitting in the small room that must be like China in the past. That is to open the organization of the Institute of Translation, business professional fostering talented translators, invited high moral ethics study that business to the lecture, everyone to listen to, study together, then can be penned write the manuscript. Can not afford to spend a little money to invite people to interpret.

I do not know English, so I can hardly believe the English translation, so I always choose. One time, I suggested to layman Trinh that I realized that the Buddha's Mindfulness of the Prophet of the Proverbs is not so big. That is not business. This verse is the record of the Wizard of India, very easy to understand. The layman is available in English, I suggest taking this English. In the first year of economic life, the quantity of life was not much, very thin, I immediately brought the Mindfulness of the Buddha, Trung Anh, to the back of the Infinite Life, the same circulation. Then I printed ten thousand books to the countries. Some time later, I went to lecture in Vancouver, Canada, a Cannada doctor told me not to print the book again. I asked why. He told: "This English, the British people do not understand, Chinese people do not understand . I hear it hurts. Later in the English translation, I do not dare to print, let the foreigners themselves circulation, I do not dare to print anymore.

Therefore we need to foster talented translators, they must be honest and have studied where the Buddha has just passed two kinds of languages ​​can take over this task. If you do not communicate the Dharma and the text, then no matter how good literature can not handle this task. The Flower Adornment said, " Buddhism does not speak, but also can not understand the mind ." The wise man of all world size can not understand the Dharma, because the Buddhist scriptures are always out of words, each word in a sentence includes a lot of meaning.

Last three vows

The ten bodhisattvas of Samantabhadra have only seven: feasts, confession, offerings, repentance, as well as, the Dhamma, and the Buddha. The last three vows are dedication. " Often depending on Buddhism " is the direction of sentient beings, "the living beings " is the direction of beings, "Universal phase" is the legal direction. The direction of righteous thoughts, the direction of sentient beings, the direction of dhamma is the direction of the self-nature, the foot orientation as. Therefore, the legs, as well as nature, and dhamma have the same meaning.

What is called dhamma? One is the legal world. Gender consists of two meanings: one is the part, the other is the nature. Part is the line, for example, the country with the national boundary; Province with province, or district and district also have borders. Tanh is self-nature, the Buddha called the most legal world, is the same as the legs.

In short, we accomplish ourselves, boundless merit, determined not to create pity. That is the way to break the habit of arrogant jealousy from non-life. Some lecturers teaching business and often find the masters still have to use high-tech science can bring Buddhism to the world. Gradually fostering the talents of propagation, fostering talents interpreters, people do not need much but that is really a small model research institute. Participants must be true to heart, true spiritual practice. Flower Adornment said the standard must be the center of ordinary people.

Why Buddhist students can not accomplish? Not that you do not mind, not that you do not make a vow, nor do you have no use. Every day you make vows in front of the Bodhisattva Buddha in a very effort, very laborious, but why not? Because the mind is too small. Your mind can not break the six realms of samsara. The six realms of samsara are a lineage. The small amount of love within its limits should be covered by it, making it impossible for you to break through.

We practiced countless lifetimes, eternal lives still fall into this step, must understand the last fault where? It is due to the small volume, so it must be the heart. New heart breaking the six realms. Breaking is not out? I am larger than it will pass easily. Arhat, Buddha Bich, bodhisattva why can be out of the three worlds? Because their minds are bigger than the three worlds, they can be overcome.

The miraculous method is the transgression of the three worlds. However, this method is difficult, difficult to cultivate. The Buddha taught us, the mind has expanded, then the breakthrough. Although there is still a world outside the legal world, but the mind is still open, we can also go beyond. So Buddha together with the legal body, the mind of the French throughout the world. Ten Laws are in their minds, so they are transcendent, including all the suffering of the gas do not stop naturally disappear, why? Afflictions are all from the narrow mind that turns into reality. When the large volume, disturbance of gas from innumerable birth to no need to break, natural no longer. This method is miraculous.

From then on we are truly honest, so religious because our world speak French, " only the most legacies, neither two nor three" This word of the Buddha is not wrong, Buddha because we say that the dharma is to teach us right in this life fullness Buddha. You do Bodhisattva, Buddha shook his head because that is not enough. Not only do you want to do Buddha, but also want you to save the Buddha. The four teachings of the Thien Thien, Tibetan Buddhism, Buddhist teachings, Buddhist do not do. Becoming a member of the Buddha is the true purpose of the religion that appears in the world. He teaches all beings, if we do not understand meaning, can not reach this level, we are not the disciples of religion. Being a pupil is certain not to spare the expectation of the teacher, a certain life must be Buddha. If you follow the Flower Adornment and Life Expectancy, then certainly will not matter. The two sets of business is the security, is the super legal.

The vow of Samantabhadra, in which the seven things from the front of the ceremony, confession, offerings, repentance, as long as possible to convert the dharma and the Buddha's head are all aspirations. Moreover, in every thing is full of other things, that is the teaching of Huayen. The three vows in the back belong to the divination.

Eighth, "depending on Buddhist studies"

" Normally Buddhist studies " is the direction of Bodhi, or in other words, the Buddha. In the afternoon, Li introduced the two initiates to visit me. They are currently doing social welfare work, but little is known about the dharma of life. When I heard the lecture, they found that Buddhism can be applied right in life so very happy, praised. I told them that the practice of Buddhism was not by me, but by the Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha. How can we get the merit of the Buddha to do their own.

The ordinary people think of learning the Buddha feel strange, why people have to study the Buddha, to be good people, then why study the Buddha? Since then, learning the Buddha is almost abnormal, then they are born a great misunderstanding of Buddhism, they do not know what is the Buddha?

Buddha is wisdom, learn the Buddha is to learn wisdom, learn enlightenment; In other words, learning the Buddha is to study a high intellectual life of enlightenment. This is very normal. In fact, the society misunderstood the Dharma because we have not brought the teachings and intentions of the Buddha Dharma to everyone. So how to praise? Absolutely have to " Tu tu Pho Hien ". Compliance is compliance, tu is learning. Bodhisattva Samantabhadra is a good model for us.

In the Mahayana Buddhism, you need to know, the three Bodhisattvas represent the overall program of Buddhist studies include Mr. Pho Hien, Quan Yin, Van Thu. Bodhisattva Phat Hien delegate practical, say be done, see to be done. Man shows wisdom, Quan Yin shows compassion. The Sun in the Mahayana business, said, " Ten thirds of all the Buddha Tathagatas through the study of these three disciplines to achieve the ultimate Buddha ." Buddhahood is the ultimate wisdom of salvation. We use the phrase " Buddha fruit supreme", Ordinary people can not explain. They do not know the exact meaning of this phrase, so misunderstanding it is a religious achievement. They do not know it's their own education. Therefore, the nouns of technical terms in the Buddha should be more clearly presented in order to fit the way of speaking the present and avoid being misunderstood.

In short, in the eighth, the main direction is the desire, the direction of Bodhi. We must seek high wisdom to save the fullness.
