MAINTAINING THE VOLUNTEERS (PART 24)

Fourth,

Buddha knows the misunderstanding of sentient beings are largely due to speech, so called " many say wrong ". Do not say too much, say a lot will be wrong, easily lead to suspicion or misunderstandings of others, so that the relationship with people. After the resonance, the injustice unanimously ceased. In the unintentional intention to create the accident on the Bodhi. So the ancient teach " say a little story, recite a sentence Buddha, " as soon as we want to speak, the mouth just came to the mouth, " Amitabha Buddha ". This is a great way, honest to do " the harmony ". One day from dawn to dusk saw the happy rejoice " Amitabha Buddha" . Whatever people say, we all say "Amitabha Buddha , peace of mind air. An Amitabha Buddha is the true language, in addition to the Amitabha Buddha, the rest is the expectation language. Reading business can not, just reciting the Buddha's birth, can become a Buddha. Reading the sutra is still possible. The idea of ​​being interwoven in the script is not readily read, it does not work.

The ancient saying " read business not by mantras, mantras not by reciting the Buddha ," why? Buddha's name is very simple, it is difficult to imagine the interlaced. Reading the longer the more easily interwoven. You imagine, you read Surangama sure there is the idea of ​​interpolation in it, because the time is too long, our strength of photography is not enough. Remembering a relatively short rebirth, the spirit of concentration from the beginning to the end of a variable is not so intertwined. But if you read thirty at a time, or fifty, there will be an expectation of multiplication. Buddha's name is much simpler.

In the past I taught people to recite the Buddha's name " Male Sculpture Amitabha Buddha " six words, a little recite ten times. In the ten verses of the Buddha do not mix thoughts. One minute of our life force can do, but five minutes can not do. So this day of your course should be a ten minutes Buddha. These ten verses correspond with the principle of reciting the Buddha of the Great Bodhisattva, " pure meditation ", the mind is not cynical, not mixed; The succession of ten consecutive Buddhas. Every day recite at least nine times, of course as much as possible. Such a form of habits, a sincere heart of professionalism, has the aspirations of urgent need to be born pure, then do not be reborn.

Do not look down on a ninth day of recitation, it is true to be effective and of continuous mindfulness. Therefore, we must do " the harmony of no contest ". All worldly dharma are false, not real, there is nothing worth discussing. Others praise me is fake, do not like; Others destroy us, humiliate me is also fake, hat all anger. They scold others, why do not you angry? Because it is not scolding me. Blame others you do not accept, but when they scold you, you recieve, go home angry angry. Bring yourself into others, they scold others who have nothing to do with me, so you will not be angry. " Me"Is false, the name is fake, the general is also fake. People scolded, people humiliated, in fact to say with this name, this general, the wind blowing through the ear has nothing to do. This is the truth of the truth. Understand the truth, we go to school, understand a little moral, when they say, " Amitabha Buddha " thank you for the rescue. They are great intellectuals, our benefactors. Each of their sentences is dispossessed instead of me. Our karma will be consumed. So you can enjoy the reception, as if motionless.

If you start anger, then you create karma. Only in a single thought, when the conversion not only do not create karmic left, but also karmic cause. The Buddha has wisdom, he teaches us this way. Therefore, for all our injustice, every day we bring the merit of merit to them, their favor. These unjust fruits of the day help us eliminate the limitless amount of karmic accumulation from eternity.

You have to know, people praise you every day, flatter you, they can not be karma for you. Many people complain that the high tribute to the birth, rebirth karma. Therefore, "do not compete ", should know how.

Fifth, "Harmonization agreement"

Truthfully, tuition is like Dharma, you are sure to be full of dharma, your life is sincere " leaving suffering ". You have to remember, this joy is not due to the money, nor is it worthy of the rich. Actually, happy and public names, money is absolutely not relevant. If you do not trust, you can ask people who are very high status, have a lot of money to see if they are happy. They are not happy, they dare not go alone on the street for fear of being assassinated, robbed. Day by day they are alert, living in fear. The door to the security guard. Are you saying that it is pitiful? How can the poor have nothing, where to go, so free, can be happy with any person. So happy is not related to these things.

The true joy is the Dharma. Understanding the truth of the cosmic universe, that is so happy. Be mindful of the words of work are compatible with the truth, corresponds to the truth of truth.

Harmony co-approval, each of us according to the method of the scene of the Infinite Life Tho that study, learn the Buddha Amitabha is really happy. The worldly outlook does not have any peace that can be compared with the joy of the Buddha. Studying any method can not compare with the joy of the Buddhist concept. If you say: " I recite the Buddha for many years to now, concept is very miserable, there is not a little happy, what is the cause?"Because you have not got to the door yet. You are not compatible; On the day of prayer, do not understand, do not understand, do not understand, can not bring these ethics right in his life. Having learned that can not be used, your suffering does not leave. If you have learned all right in everyday life; Each of these can be compatible with the theoretical method of the scriptures, then do something unhappy. The West is called the world of ecstasy, but we have not yet arrived, but the atmosphere of the world we have had; the joy of the world has already. So now is the message, proof of retribution.

Sixth, "Benefit Harm"

This is very important. Buddha said the most important thing is the first and last sentence. Favor is our personal blessing. " Benefit harmony ", that is blessed enjoy. I have the blessing to enjoy with everyone. They are blessed, we do not need them. We only spend, not begging, your mind is pure, new compatible. We have the blessings provided to our fellow people, others have our blessings also enjoy, so it turns into " rewarded newspaper ", there is a return to the business, so not yet enlightened . The only true enlightened person is the volunteer without the bridge, the pure mind of self.

Please tell them, if true to do so, your blessing more and more, why? Brave enough in the current self, the barrier in the nature of self is eliminated. And we have a concept of wanting to enjoy other people, that is the obstacle, hope, discrimination, attachment. When the idea, distinction, attachment before all are no longer the merit of current status. We see the Western World of Bliss in the classics, the world of Tibetan Venerable Bhikkhu Price on the Flower Economy, the kind of victory that not so great people do not have great natural disasters.

You should know, this blessing is not due to tu, but from the self-nature turns out. In the self-sufficient capital, only we try to do, harmony fellow practitioners, the virtue can immediately show money. Assume as expected, distinguish, your attachment did not paragraph, you daddy, tu offerings, can be blessed. You are due to the virtue of life, it is not merit in the inherent nature. Your merit can not be cared for, it is also possible to use all. If you do not continue to cultivate, the blessing is gone, then no longer. This is very easy to see in society.

Credits

In the Buddhist scriptures tell us, the blessings of the world, the money is due to tales of gifted. The more you give, the more money you have. Today we see in the world, there are many large scale businesses, large enterprises, they have a lot of money, where is there? Due to their previous life, they have a lot of due to many generations of life, to this maturity coast, so much talent, so fruitful victory so far.

But enjoy the blessed is a affliction, just enjoy the blessing immediately, the lake was immediately blessed. After the passion, they refuse to continue to bless. No wisdom, whether to want to bless, do some good things, some social welfare charity, blessing is very small. They do not understand the great blessing merit, especially as intellectual intelligence is the result of the Dharma Dharma. The world has the most intelligent intellectual superiority, transcendental normal people, due to past life, this person has taught dhamma. Being healthy in the past life is insecure soulless generous. Here can know the etiquette of causal consequences results with the truth truth is true non-fake, tu human how to be retrieved that way.

Today's society, especially in the year 1998, if the calm observers see the society at risk, the whole world can not find a safe place. No matter what your status, money, your possessions, whether you hold or not? No one can be sure. A wise man, understandable through a day to day, who knows what tomorrow will look like. The most talked about economy today is precarious. Economic uncertainty is the " dream cell phone photo " that Kim Cang business. They have not yet read the Kim Cang Sutra, but they know that they "do not exist", so we must be vigilant. How to preserve? Need to give alms.

Giving if not before the generals, merit can not be measured. Also accepting generals only bring blessings of good quality. In the Buddhist texts often say, we in the lecture also often hear. If true truth enlightenment must be made quickly, do not worry that the future right opportunities do not have blessed. You see the Southeast Asia at present there are many countries, the value of money is losing, so the good deeds must be made soon. Today you practice merit one hundred thousand, the past few days turned into fifty thousand, lost half, your blessings fell low. So take the opportunity to quickly make a new person is intelligent, is honest people have wisdom. Money should not be left with you, not in the home, at the bank, even at the insurance counters are not credible. Only give them to give all living beings enjoy, That blessing is permanent. Then why do not we bring these insubstantial foam things to make it into diamonds? Take it forever without ruining it?

Dharma giving

The initiates here, there are some people enlightened, some genuine people to mind? I tell you the truth, I do not need alms for me, a penny I do not use, not to cheat on you. If you want to have wisdom, want to be smart, then it must be Dharma practice. At present here we practice Dharma more and more convenient. At Cu Si Lam, seven days a week from the beginning of the year to the end of the year without interruption. You can introduce friends to listen to the sutra, which is the Dharma. Each time we lecture here are recorded audio. You give your friends as well as belong to dhamma. Not to mention the lecture, the books are very charming. Every day you come, see yourself there already do not want to see anymore. Try to think of other acquaintances who have not contacted, we can give them, It is advisable to take advantage of the Buddha's dharma contact, read the Buddhist scriptures, which are all about the Dharma. The dashboard of dhamma is giving wisdom.

Absence of alms

In the free gift, the first thing is to eat vegetarian, not kill beings, do not resent animosity with all beings. The second is the birth, protection of social security, life safety protection for all beings, this belongs to fearless generosity. In fearless gift without killing, not stealing, in the vocabulary includes: not two-way speech, provocation to be stirring, stirring the two sides. This sin is very serious, because it destroys society. This misery must take a lot of suffering.

So we have to memorize the six consecration, to be clear about the meaning of these six spells, to understand the theory of method, to bring it real life. In a home of six monks, each one follows the teachings of the Buddha, your family is called Sangha. The Sangha is not only a monastic community but a group of four or more people living together, according to the six Buddhist meditation. Rising is the meaning of pure, harmony. The small body, the two sides of the mind calm, harmony live together, not distributed in the family, not separate young men and women do not separate any career. The four are together in this way, which is called the sangha. Sangha appears, will definitely be the Buddha's mind, long Thien good god protection, because worthy of reverence.

You see we read vow Tam refuge " Refuge Sangha middle religion ". " They " are unions. The revered body is the sangha, it is also the religious group of six harmony. The Sun teaches us to live together with people should be how the mood, how to practice, is to teach us to treat the material object, not to mention the Dharma. In other words, before learning the Buddha must learn to make good people. Tam Phuoc, Luc Hoa is the basis for human beings. From this foundation that elevates, that is to study the Buddha.

Learn

Where should the Buddha begin? The Buddha teaches us all the dharma. All that Shakyamuni Buddha has spoken for forty-nine years, in addition to the wisdom. In other words, this is just like you go to the Buddha's teachings, so the Buddha presented his teachings to you, today we call it the Tripitaka, namely, the Suttas. Business is the study, the law is the school, the wisdom is wisdom.

Each time the Buddha speaks French, not deep shallow, short-term not to leave these three principles. Leaving these three principles is not a Dhamma. If the scriptures are classified into three categories, then it is difficult. Each school is full of three, so how to do? The only way to see in each of the three, this school is said in many, the other is taught in the other. For example, the economic life is full of three kinds of wisdom, meaning that the depth is relatively large, the number can occupy more, can be divided into the business. But meticulously, this sutra, from thirty-two to thirty-seven is the precepts or discipline should also be able to classify it into the rules, this we need to understand. Any three sutras are full of the three, so the three are our total program of study.

In the daily life, starting mindfulness of certain words must be consistent with the three. The mind-centered movement corresponds to wisdom, concentration; Our word of doing is in accordance with the world of study, so you study the truth. Bodhisattva each concept is similar to the three lessons, the happiness is complete third school, that is the overall platform, can not not grasp. To apply this platform in the life of learning, this is called the level of the Bodhisattva, six principles of Bodhisattva life that we need to comply.

Sixthly

First, "donate"

The meaning of generosity is broad. Giving us to let go, let go of something? We have defilements why do not let negativity let go, we have to ignore foolish ignorance, bad karma to let go of bad karma, and birth and death must also let go, all give. Phàm phu said can drop everything but the body can not let go, so still afflicted. The body is pro-karma, after dropping, this body turns into the body itself.

Future in Huayen, we will talk about ten kinds of body. We have, too, but because we do not let go of this karmic cause, our minds, our dharmas, our Bodhicitta, our minds and bodies can not appear. You say there is no regret? Of course, if the reporter discharge this, then the ten body on the Tathagata of us is also a blurry virtual appear, that is the perfect happiness happy. All legal world output you are not attached before, let go, do not occupy your own. To make their own turn into karma, certain paths, the wrong nature. Intelligent people know this body is not yourself, let alone the body outside.

Bodhisattva on the Flower Adornment said, " I say, I do not attach to me, I also do not attach to my ." " I " expresses ideas, a means of communication with sentient beings, that is ingenious means. Eyelids can convey the idea, all belong to the communication. You can use but not attachments, just attach first turn to create karma. So no attachment, no distinction is new merit. You manipulate skillful means in a free, non-attachment, know all the French as " vision illusion ", do not own, all can not. The Great Bat Nha says " impossible, not possessed", These six words I have said hundreds of times, it is the dexterous means to speak French. So we have to understand the basis of alms, know how to learn alms in everyday life.

Second, "the precepts"

The precept is to keep the rules. If you do not follow the rules, do not comply with regulations, not only Buddhism but France, whether you want to succeed is difficult, called " unmanageable ungodly ". We want to draw circle must use compa, want to draw square must use rolls, so new medicine can draw circle is not wrong. Even the small things of the world must comply with the rules, you have new achievements, let alone the world's output.

The current Buddhist school, the monk at home from the four fellow practitioners, I see people very effort, very striving, diligent study diligent, diligent effort, sleep is not enough, but strive so Why still not get the effect? Due to legal reasons. Not true law is not understood, although struggling but still not receive the effect, not grasp the key, this is a very important factor. If we do not eliminate this factor, then ten years, twenty years, even life is not accomplished.

The methodological theory is in it, although we read the lecture every day, even lectures, the truth can not Assembly, not yet entered. As " plus function of chanting Master Hao Chi Chi ", we have done or not? " Immeasurable quality of life"Do we have a good fortune? Needless to say, just being part two is also beneficial. If there is no merit, then your dharma has no root, no foundation. In front of the presentation, blessed tam is the basics. We do not learn from the basics should learn the three levels of the Bodhisattva Virtue all empty, start thinking mind is still the center of samsara, every day is still a reincarnation, so how can super exorcism? Not only you can not escape samsara, but also the rebirth bridge also has obstacles.

The old man Li Bing Nam last life said " Ten thousand people reincarnate Buddha true reborn only three to five people, " this ancient method said " ten thousand people go away, " why ten thousand people only three people? Because it is not legal, not keep rules, arbitrarily. The easiest is to release the defilements of your own gas, depending on the suffering of your own gas that flow, so the learning if you want to achieve is very difficult.
