When Shakyamuni Buddha became enlightened under the Bodhi Tree, he initially hesitated to spread the teachings.When the devas come down to worship, praying for the beings that set up the means of education. In the past, I was a little surprised. Because the Buddha made a great vow, appearing in life to beings, so now become a Buddha, he refused to propagate the Dharma, waiting for new teachings.

Later study carefully I see clearly, as the Buddha saw, the Buddha can not tell the world people understand. Why?Because that place is contrary to the view of the worldly people, so how to teach them understand. So Buddha does not want to say. When the gods begged the Buddha to use the means of teaching beings, slowly people will understand;Buddha considered this reasonable so that since then new wheels Dafa.

The first lecture in Deer Park is the Fourth, say enough Four Noble Truths. Long ago, the Buddha taught that this is the first truth, the Buddha presented very true, very true. But it is the means, not the place of true salvation. If you have the Kim Cang, the Enlightenment will see the Buddha: Buddha's law as a boat or rafts take people across the river. When she got to the shore she had to leave the raft. Giac Giac, as if you want to see the moon? You see the hand to tell the "moon there". Fist the finger of the other person to see the moon.Seeing the moon and fingers is meaningless. Likewise, the Buddha's teaching is the means, like a finger, to show us the truth. A true place like the moon, get the true place and then the means to abandon.

We should know that Buddhism is a cure for mental illness for sentient beings. Healing the medicine should be removed.Suppose we now have malaria with malaria. When the disease has completely healed, if you see medicine or continue to drink anymore? Disease back. So it is good to quit smoking.

The Buddha's teachings are optional for medicine. Beings have any disease for the Buddha. For example, many people crave, the Buddha taught meditation impure. Seeing the memory of the body is too angry to be out of craving. The name of many Buddhist teachings, the reputation will be lost, not durable, thanks to the restaurant should be less honorable. Each medicine treatment for each disease for beings. But all is the means, not the salvation. Initially the Buddha used the means to lead us slowly to the result of saving the glass. So want to go to rescue, first through the means, but to save the glass then to remove the means.

Today we keep reading the Buddha's teachings for it, for that is thorough. Every day to bring economic readings without understanding the Buddha's teachings. Study to understand, to understand not to read the Buddha read. Buddhists not only read to the Buddha, but also with him. What a pitiful mistake!

HH before the name of the Sun, meditation for a long time.When listening to his father to China, in Shaolin Temple sitting face down the cliff, few years to talk to anyone. He did not know how to answer. At that time, in the winter, the snow fell to his knees, and he stood calmly from dawn to dawn. Knowing, the team asked:

- What do you ask for as suffering?

He said,

- Bold wish the venerable compassion open the door, we wide.

Security guard:

- The supreme virtue of the Buddhas, despite many hard-working, hard-working, or hard-working, can not come! This is a small amount of money that the leg is legacy?

After hearing that, he went out behind, borrowed a knife to one arm to raise the team to express his sincerity. He agreed and accepted as a disciple, named Huey. Wisdom is wisdom, charisma is decent. Italy praised Mr. Than Quang has a good intellect so dare to sacrifice so.

When being accepted as a disciple, one day Hue Kha said to Dat Ma: "Venerable Master, my heart is not safe, please teach the Buddha peace of mind." Do Dat Ma not straight answer, but said: "Bring your mind to safety". Hui Qi turned to look back, the heart of loss of focus, not hatched. He immediately said: "White Vow, I can not find the heart." "I have peace of mind for you". Right after that, he knew the way.

Buddhists who practice sitting meditation, then see his mind wandering gasoline mess. Therefore, he was able to secure his mind is extremely reasonable. We are the same. But the answer of the Patriarch seems a bit anticlerical, teaching French peace of mind that "bring the mind to me". This is where I used to think it seems to play jokes. People are eager to learn, but the team again like joking, not expecting Hui He was able to meet. That is what we find difficult. Later when retreat tu, re-read history, I just startled the old fool.Because we are delusional, we should be submerged in birth and death. What is love? Si love the body is the mind. These two delusions make us keep on creating karma, going on in birth and death.

Now you all whispered that this body really should be new, just enough for it. For example there are two counterfeiters, one who speaks truth, one who speaks false. So in those two, who is foolish? Imagine that the idea is really stupid, also assume that imitation is intellectual. So I ask again, this body is real or fake? Fake If you only see the fake on my question, then when you leave this lecture will see it all out. That is our delusion.

As you are sitting talking to play with relatives, suddenly he fell off the blood. When we say that we call it real, it is time to stop worshiping it to know it. If it's true, it's always true, before the end. Everybody while walking, talking is said to be true, until the fall out to everyone's security. What does that mean? That's half-truth. It is true that in false assumptions we do not know, so it is either false or full.

Let's try again, now we live here, the nose is breathing.Inhaling is borrowing air outside. Exhale is to pay the air out.Inhalation is evenly distributed. I can not breathe out, I pay out without inhaling death. So where is it? If not, borrowed, not real. A little loan to extract the water, then pay back.Bring it out. If you can not pay, then go to the emergency room. Borrowed regularly, not regular. Longer time, borrow the rice bowl. You have to pay. Obviously, this body lives by continuous borrowing. Have borrowed that to tell the truth, we know how intellectual we are. Are you stupid? Who on the road who said no where to go, while actually stupid too?Let's say we are deluded. From delusion chasing the body, worry for it, eventually lose it.

The Buddha realized that this body is a fake, by land, water, wind, fire together into. Hard substance is soil, wet substance is water, motion is wind, warm is fire. These four things bring out unpaid. If you do not pay, you will die. So we have this body, not just a life of borrowing. That's the first thing.

Secondly, you often give thought to the mind. So sad, hurt, angry, hated ... are my mind. Saying "I'm sad" is sad to me.I'm happy, I'm angry, I hate ... it's all mine. A hundred things, know what is real? There is no real ego. As we are sad stories, suddenly a friend from a distance from home, meet again happily. So sad not real, if true when happy sad to go? So sad is not true, only the temporary past, but I accept it is my heart. From that point, I think this has to do like this, right, doing otherwise is wrong. If anyone else recommends, or opposes his idea, we will immediately heat up. Because the mind is thinking itself, so defilement arises.

But we try to ask again, his thoughts are true hundred percent? If anyone thinks the right hundred percent, then the whole house is a dozen floors, not two floors. Because when you think properly when you think of order, should do new business fails. This life has failed much, little success, proving that people think wrong, think little. But everyone is trying to accept his thinking is true, then born angry, hated all the things.

Again, when I start thinking I have said, but when do not think where? Find not out. No place, no form should know it is not real. When I sat down, thinking about the gasoline hoai, I am annoyed that the mind of the meal is too busy.That is why the thought of shaking gas is his mind. Buddha said this is a lovers.

We are now endured, are in love in the wrong, so it is very difficult. Closely should meet the wrong idea angry. So suffering all day. As long as we do not see the true body, our mind is not real. Everyone has the right to see themselves, so whoever does not mind I am not angry. Understanding is liberating many.

The Buddha often teaches us if we think something should say, "This is my thinking." Do not say my thoughts right, add the word "right" there is a story. Because the two are exactly opposite, we still feel good, sometimes we exchange ideas to learn more. Living on that spirit is great. So the wise seek the truth to see so clearly. I do not really know what to say is not true, the mind, the sense. So sit quietly do nothing, not in vain, in fact it has great benefits extremely.

So we teach meditation, instructing you to sit quietly and look at where the concept starts. It has just risen up, we know the idea of ​​falsehood not follow, so elaborate. To hear simply, is not worth anything, but in fact we are doing a great job, that is to break the eternal error of his. Seeing the idea of ​​continuous destruction, temporary spoiled, not follow it, it must give up. That is the mind of the meditator. French speaking but actually there is no French. Zen philosophy does not have a legal teaching, only to use his mind to see the real damage to his place. That is essential. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLAE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.20/8/2018.
