MAINTAINING THE VOLUNTEERS (PART 11)

Second, fearless

When it comes to fearless generosity, vegetarianism is very important. Modern technology along with development, slaughterhouse is also more professional investment than before. Although I did not go to visit but remember when I was little, I was born and grew up in the countryside. Rural slaughtering pig meat is a commonplace. Before killing pigs, people hold pig ears and say, " Pig, you do not blame me. You are human food, they do not eat, I do not kill anything. So you go find the food for life" They bring all responsibility to the food, meaning that they are not guilty, sin is in the meat eaters. So we need to be vegetarian, not to eat meat all beings, that is the fearless. We need to cultivate our own compassionate mind, not to hurt any living being. Not only do not kill, right to make beings because we are afflicted, we are guilty.

So the Bodhisattva Buddha came into contact with the masses of people with great compassion. In Quartet, the first thing said: " Make all beings born happy heart", That is the Dharma. Buddha, we are disgusted with us, we just have to quickly avoid. We must make beings born happy, so that we wherever welcome to welcome. We hate others, others will hate us. As you may know, old people are very important. Most young people do not like the elderly, if there is this mind, the future will definitely affect the results. When old will be hated by the youth. Causality results do not miss anything, not only missed the results are very fast. If you do not create karmic results. We create good karma is good results, vice versa create bad karma, must encounter evil. This time the accident is more and more complex, more and more serious, it is the community of all beings, very scary. Just over a year ago,Cultivating offerings, "" medical education ".

The students of Buddhism blessed tu tuong, blessed with wisdom, help the poor, suffering, old, sick. We wholeheartedly help them, giving all the gifts. New life, self. The giving is to bring suffering, accidents, our gift. This is a very deep, definitely meticulous meeting.

Third, legal

The Buddha, in particular, reminds us, " In the offerings, offering the Dharma is over ". Moreover, in all the Mahayana sutras, the Buddha gives many comparisons, even recommending "the seven treasures of the great world of giving offerings ". Buddha example to the ultimate, using all the seven precious world natural dignity offerings, blessings that great but still can not be compared to the blessing of people because other people say four verses. Four verses are four verses in the text, can not be compared to the great merit when speaking four Buddhist teachings.

Giving the seven world treasures, the poor are clothed, the suffering victims are saved, material life is full, no worry, but with birth and death? Still can not solve the problem thoroughly. We can not escape the six realms of samsara. In other words, beings have very limited benefits, only a lifetime, can not be eternal life. After the network did not bring anything, the Buddha said " Van ban similar to the past ." The word " compatibility " is the bear, can not bring anything, only the karma. Dharma is when people hear four sentences " forever planted good" The virtues of the speaker are great, but they can not solve the suffering for them, but in the future, this verse can help them transcend the three realms of the six paths, . That is the main cause, this person forever not lost. So giving the method has a great merit, winning nothing.

In the Buddha, the Buddha Dharma gives seven examples. Seven, not the digits but the expression. Seven delegates for the fullness. Amitabha used the number seven to denote, while the most commonly used Us is ten, rarely used seven. In the product of the offerings of the dharma there are seven things. " Monasticism"Is the offering, the meaning of the religion of education in the first place, meaning far and wide. What the Buddha says in every sentence every word must be clearly remembered. So I advise fellow practitioners, when starting to learn certain to bring the business chanting three thousand variables, that is preparing the elaborate practice. Not to recite the three thousand, the successor elaborately accomplished. This is only the first step to help us remember, after remembering the need to explain meaning because not meaning is not useful. If we understand the tenet of each word in the Sutra, we will know in our daily life what to do, that is the key. Li gurus often say " How birth and death, still birth and death like that"No way to change. After all, we must try to follow all the teachings of the Buddha. True true true life is used, also regarded as genuine offerings to the Buddha. The Buddha wants us to strive to cultivate, even in everyday life, for people, things, things, not to commit mistakes. The mistake that we commit, ourselves do not know, because of ignorance of the religion should often assume that you are right, do not know yourself are creating pity.

Repentance is to offer the Buddha Bodhisattva

In life, how to find fault with yourself, how to remedy mistakes, it is repentance. Repentance is always accompanied by the practice, medical school administration is sincere offerings to the Buddha Tathagata, it is a good disciple of the Buddha. The Buddha did not need the fruit of the flowers offered in front of him. I myself do not like these things. They invited me to eat rice, on the table presented a lot of food, I see are not like, let alone the Buddha Bodhisattva. The realm of the Bodhisattva Buddha is much higher than me, there are generous in front, all also do not want to eat, do not need. Buddha Bodhisattva only hope we quickly become Buddha. We sincerely meditate on the practice of Buddhism, the new born mind of joy. It is true offering the Buddha, offerings to the Bodhisattva, is also offering our monks. We have achieved, the new glorious monk. We do the right to harass, to create the Karma, glory of the master will be completely lost. So the spiritual practice is to offer old monks and also to offer their parents, ancestors. Especially according to the economic life of the life that monks, so what is equal.

The Infinite Life Sutra is a simulation of Amitabha Buddha, but we can not be like Amitabha Buddha but it is like a little bit. People will look: " oh! Amitabha Buddha , "then our parents turn into the parents of the Bodhisattva Buddha, our ancestors turn into the ancestors of the Bodhisattva Buddha, the Buddha often said" a Buddhist, ", Which is the way of offering ancestor parents and offerings as their own nature. Turned back to see the truth is offering all the living beings across the world all living beings. Thus, only a " spiritual medicine"But the scope of offerings is so great, so sophisticated, who do not understand how to cultivate. So this business must be 100%. Others do not involve us. Practice in yourself, you must be able to do, must set a good example for others to see.

The second in the product of happiness, Business Flowers: " Benefit beings ". Be mindful of our actions, our words of action must be clear. If there are benefits to society, to all beings, try to do. Right in the interests, the most favored is the Dharma dharma, we should develop the mind that all beings rejoice, faith, worship. That is the merit of our offerings. In modern society, we can make beings have the most real benefits by bringing the Dharma, especially the Infinite Life of the Pure Land introduced to the masses. Introduction must also have charm, on the great business of the Buddha said very clearly " Buddhist doctrine," There must be true monk, can solve the law, the Tathagata real sense of meaning. Thus, professorship is very important.

Lieutenant Li Yuan Yuan built colonies in Singapore, now he has to spend hundreds of thousands of remodeling the fourth floor, the fifth floor. His goal is " the benefit beings give" Every fellow practitioner who listens to the sutras, is entitled to enjoy the dharma. This work is currently only 20% completed, people are trying to execute. He bought a new seat, and whoever was uncomfortable, told Li Jimo. He would like to make offerings, will try to offer, free to all people born happy heart. The first time to Singapore to teach business in the Youth League. That was the first time I lectured in the Infinite Life Sutra, watching the initiates sit in the small round chair for two hours, I felt very hurt, I told him to change into a chair. Previously, the lecture hall was not air-conditioned, and now everything is constantly improving. Today I saw three sets of cameras recording, then broadcasting satellites to many parts of the world. Not only are they sitting here but also many. In the future, the spread of Buddhism must take advantage of high technology, satellite, television, internet, etc., so that any computer country can receive it. Every practitioner we have to strive to bring news of the spreading of the sutras to the body. One can also easily universalize beings.

There are many methods of universal beings. Singapore also has many intellectual bodhisattvas. The clothes they wear, the words they say are " Amitabha Buddha ", how many people see them, earphones through their words, so as they were, always growing good. However, the most important thing is the fostering of talents. Dhamma can not come to life, we have to break up, we must definitely wholeheartedly fostered talents later. Singapore has done this actively, the course very successful, unfortunately a little short time. This keyword we will open class Huayen. At present, many fellow initiates know that Hoa Nghiem is very deep. Recently, I lectured " Buddhist Lenten Ceremony ", " Speak as Lai ", " Quang tu offerings"Are in Huayen, morally profound, more closely related to our lives. After school, we can go home right away in life, in work, and in the face of it.

Listeners should go to the lecture hall, the lecture on the lecture theater is much more beneficial than listening to the tape, because the magnetic field is not the same. To the lecture hall to personally feel, where the Buddha optical spectrum, immeasurable deity surrounded us. This magnetic field is pure not evil, pure heart, mental clarity, while the television is not easy to help us enlightenment. The Buddha's teaching was blessed, the listener was also blessed by the Buddha, as the Tibetan Buddhist monk said, " The great enlightened uncle, " who is happy, who benefit.

I am right here, the evening lecture two hours, the next morning, I bring all the preacher teaching again again. You can study business, if not lecture should try to listen to business. Today I lowered this standard down a lot. While ancient times, the monks did not shrink. The requirement of the ancient monk is to at least revise up to 80% of what was heard is considered to be capable of teaching shaman business. Do not rely on tape recorders, tapes that rely on memory, on your interpretation. Today, only this capacity, even four fellow initiates can emit the mind, not necessarily the devotees, but fellow initiates can emit. At present, many laypeople in the sutras, such as lay Rinpoche, monks at Truc Lam Pagoda, in France, ... Ly Moc Nguyen said to me, Two days in Quang Minh Son, where I had three lectures have appeared many lecture hall, so this area is blessed. Buddhism in the world only in Singapore has the Dharma dynasty, which is the blessing of this area. The world has many big accidents, but this area is not, because the Buddhas rely on the good of the four that come to protect the Buddha, the light rays.

In the past, I have talked a lot about learning Buddhist sutras. We must try to water, nurture, and care. How? When they go to the preaching business, you have to listen. On the radio they see many audiences are born happy heart, self-confidence is not bad, they have faith. If looking down to see the audience only one or two rows, their beliefs disappear, immediately distracted, losing confidence. Their interest in learning will not be invoked. Therefore, there must be people to listen to, even if they do not lecture well, we also came to hear, heard and applauded cheering for them, making them happy, spread the heart, from which they must go to the lecture hall They have to study hard. Without the effort to study, the next lecture worse than the last time, the audience will be less, shamans will be shameless.

As a hearing inspector, you should not only hear but also encourage them, in addition to criticism, help them improve, where the lecture is not good, lecture lake, there is wrong place, or suspicion must be raised, help them constantly improve, so new genuine foster young masters. New masters to study on the scaffolding must know, sit underneath are all monks, are supervisors, do not see them as hearers. The student is on the lecture hall, sitting below all are teachers. So young wizards have to use the heart of grace, the glass of reverence to teach; Using our humble mind to learn, we can have accomplished. So to hear them lecture, your merit will be great, because then you temporarily on behalf of the great Buddhist Bodhisattva Bodhisattva fostering talents successive Buddhist network later, The merit is even greater than sitting here listening to me lecture. This charm is extremely rare. The whole world has only Singapore, besides, you can not find this opportunity anywhere. So the initiates must try to grab it. On the day you come here hear the young magician lectures, it is the practice of worship, the achievements of talents continue Buddhism, achievements of the French world culture.

The third thing, " gifted beings ", this is not easy. Self must have virtue, there are religious, there are new education can take life people. Using words that present, you must have a strong force can win people, take the psychology of the masses. The Buddha-dharma is called "the gift of sentient beings", That is how to understand the psychology of beings, leading them back to the dharma. In other words, this kind of donation can replace all the Buddhas who lead the Pure Land direction. Only this method of life a certain degree, not only for the people you know, but also for all beings. In your home there are many beings. Large apartments, cockroaches, mosquitoes are all sentient beings, you have to teach them to recite the Buddha, advised them to discharge the animal body, because the body is very suffering, need to discharge. You advise them to recite Buddha's birthplace Pure Land. For all animals must also be such a case for people, of course the more you have to love. What method to photograph? That is the Buddha statue, Buddha. At present, the Buddha is very popular, 24 hours in the house without interruption. If the people oppose the concept of the Buddha, it is not good friends. As a matter of fact, the students of Amitabha Buddha are always welcomed by all beings. If you are a student of Amitabha Buddha without being welcomed by the people, there is a problem. You have to try to reflect, check yourself, definitely do not do it ourselves. The French do not have something to applaud. It is possible that your celebration in the home is not good.

I study the Buddha, the future reborn will make the Buddha, and people who do not learn the Buddha are guilty, the future must fall to hell. Also, how do you and your family members can live together in harmony, because of the unfairness of confrontation. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate the glass. Previously did not learn the Buddha, do not understand the reverence, but now studying Buddhism, then to all the adults in the house must be sincere reverence, the new school is really, really changed. Your family, welcome. In the past do not know how to praise others, now know how to praise. The person in the house is wrong, absolutely not mentioned, should not be in the heart. The family has something good to praise. To do that, you are changing the mood of your whole family. House to do so immediately change the habits of society.

What are the offerings? Offering is served, zeal for family service. There are so many young and old people in our house, because they serve, take care of their life, that is the donation. Use physical strength, labor to serve, that is the gift. In the case of external finances, this case is called endowment, more favors than foreign. Use wisdom to raise the standard of living of the family, the desire of the whole family to be happier, happier, is that you are using the offerings. That means you use wisdom to think, how to change the situation in the house, making work is peace of mind, effort; Going to school is hard work, hard work, becoming a good family. Expanding, social harmony, peace, that all in the offerings. If we can not do it, it is wrong to blame others. Truthfully study the right legal, certain people can be photographed, made people admire, follow, make people automatically spontaneous. I hope to study with you, teacher with you, it is the photographer has strength. So we have to honestly do "living beings , "must make a good example for beings, and for society.
