Compassionate teaching of the Buddha.

When the Buddha was about to enter Nirvana, all his wisdom and intelligence were manifested in true and compassionate words of compassion. For all sentient beings, for the sake of all beings, and for sending them to every small unit of life, we read again.

That year the Buddha was 80 years old, in the last few days he was exhausted and tired, unable to go any further but still preaching as usual. Three months before his death, the Buddha began to advise his closest disciple, Ananda, to gather his disciples to hear and announce his disappearance. Ananda asked the Buddha to rest in the rest of the day, but he went off and taught that: " My body is less healthy, but my compassion, my wisdom is no less. I was in that day is not a day in vain.

In a forest near Kusinagar, Shakyamuni rests between the two trees of Sa-la.

In a forest near the city of Kusinagara, today is a small town called Kasia, 50 kilometers east of Gorakhpur, and 150 kilometers north-east of Gorakhpur. Varanasi (Bénarès), the Buddha lying between the two saharas. He folded his robe to four, then lay to his right, his head to the north, his face to the west, his legs straightened, his feet to the other. Then the Buddha addressed the last words to remind the disciples to understand that their teacher is not a character, nor the Buddha, their true teacher is  the Dharma . The Buddha, in the center of the water, spoke quietly to his followers:

"Be ye disciples of the Torah, that you may light yourselves, and rely on your very power, and not on anyone." My teachings will lead the torch. the way for you, refuge your children, no need to depend on other teachings anymore.

Look at your body, you will see how unclean the body is. When you understand that the pleasure and pain of the body is only the common source of suffering, when you understand that, you will not be able to let go of your lusts.

Look at your mind, you will see that mind is constantly changing. So you will not be able to let yourself fall into the hallucinations of the mind, and then maintain the pride and selfishness of the mind, especially when you have understood that most emotions. Only bring suffering.

Take a look at all the objects around whether there is any permanent object or not. Are there any objects that are not born beings? All will be broken, disintegrated and dispersed.Do not be afraid to see suffering everywhere, follow my teachings, even after I have passed away. So you will get rid of suffering. Indeed, as you follow my teachings, you will definitely become my true disciples.

My disciples, the teachings I preach to you, never forget, never let go again. These teachings must be preserved, researched and practiced. If you follow these teachings, you will be happy. What is most important in our teachings is that you must control your mind.Get rid of all cravings and keep your body upright, pure mind and true language.

If you remind yourself that your life is just temporary, you will be able to eliminate all the hunger and aggression that leads to suffering. If you realize that your mind tends to cling to or cling to desire, you have to get rid of desire and stop the temptation. You must master your mind.

The mind is capable of turning a human into a Buddha or an animal. When we fall into confusion, we can become devils, but when Enlightenment we will become a Buddha.Therefore, you must control your mind and not stray out of the Path. To be able to keep up with my teachings, you must respect one another and do not argue. Do not imitate water with oil pushing each other; Imitate water with milk, can be completely mixed together.

Let's study together, explain together, practice together. Do not waste your minds and your time in arguments or lazy. Please enjoy the fragrant flowers of Enlightenment at the time of flowering and picking sweet fruit on the Road to Honesty.

The teachings I give you are due to my own experience, and I have followed that path. You should obey these teachings and keep it that way, even in the face of difficult circumstances. If you are distracted, it means that you have never met me, you are really somewhere far away, even though you are sitting next to me now.

But if, on the contrary, you accept and practice our teachings, even if you are far away in the end of the world, just as you are with us in the this time.

Honor and respect Dharma for good deeds.

My disciples, my last minutes are near, the distance between me and you are not far away.But you should not mourn. Life is a constant change and nothing can stop the disintegration of the body. The fact is, I am demonstrating to you that on our body, our body will disintegrate like a wagon.

Do not mourn in vain, on the contrary you must rejoice when you realize that transformation law and understand that human life is just empty. Do not try to maintain an irrational desire, want what is temporary must be permanent.

The demon of secular desires always seeks to mislead your mind. If there is a poisonous snake in the room, you will not be able to sleep peacefully unless you chase it out. You have to cut off the bonds of secular lust and get rid of the bonds as you kicked out the poisonous snake from the room. You must carefully guard your mind.

My disciples, my last moments have come, but you must understand that death is only the disintegration of the physical body. The body is born of parents, it grows from food, it has no way to avoid illness and death. A true Buddha does not carry the human body, but only the Enlightenment.

Only Enlightenment. The human body must be dissipated, but the Wisdom of Enlightenment will endure in the realm of Dharma, on the path of Dharma practice. If anyone sees my body, he does not see me really. Only those who accept my teachings really see me.

After I passed away, Dharma replaced me as my teacher. Knowing the Dharma, that is how you show your loyalty to us. In the last forty-five years of my life, I do not hide anything in my teachings.

There is no secret teaching, without a single word. All of our teachings are presented honestly and transparently. My beloved children, this is the moment to end. In another moment we will enter into Nirvana. These words are my last words to you. "

The night of silence only heard the Buddha's teachings, outside the moonlight brightened, stars skyrocketed through the sky, the disciples did not even dare to breathe hard to listen to the final words of the Buddha Shakyamuni Finally, he asked everyone about the Four Noble Truths and the Twelve Causes, and what else could not be asked. He asked three times and they were silent not to say, because there is no question. At that Aniruddha told the Buddha:  "  Buddha Tathagata , we have understood the truth of the Four Noble Truths and Thich Nhat. In this world, the moon can be heated, the sun can cool but the Four Noble Truths and the Twelve Causality can not be changed. "

The Buddha was very calm with no sign of fatigue. Finally the great earthquake trembled, the flowers fell as the rain fell, the disciples suddenly see the spirit of shock, the Buddha Shakyamuni has entered the nirvana ... The last teaching of the Buddha true and full of compassion for ourselves, for the people around us, for the smallest living beings of life. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.21/12/2018.
