Citing the Sutra A Function
The Persian King came to ask the Bhikkhu Ni Khema. The King asked:
- After Buddha Nirvana is still reasonable?
Mrs. Khema replied:
- This sentence often does not answer.
The King asked:
- So after Buddha Nirvana is no longer reasonable?
She replied:
- This sentence often does not answer.
The king asked:
- After the Buddha Nirvana also exists, no longer reasonable? Isn't it still not?
Khema also replied:
- This sentence often does not answer.
The king asked:
- Why not answer?
She replied:
- For example, if there is a good mathematician in the country, how much is it to pay to make sure that the Ganges sand is paid?
The King replied:
- Can not be math.
She asked:
- Again, check how much ocean water is and how much is it?
The King also replied:
- Can not be math.
She said:
- Also, The Sun has finished clean, longevity, thought, action, consciousness, not seeing me and ours. He entered the depths that cannot be thought of, so Buddha did not answer.
The King again came to ask Buddha, Buddha replied as well. King praised:
- Or rather! Good! Buddha and Buddha disciples all say no different.
The reason for asking Tathagata is still or not, is because in my heart contains my thoughts and mine. Because the five aggregates were real, I wondered if I was afraid of the last practice and there was nothing to rely on. It is still thinking about the body to enjoy. It is clear that the person who asked this question has not yet escaped the five aggregates. The person who attains the five aggregates is not true, no longer has my mind and one's own, its loss is not important anymore!
For example, someone stood on the pier to see people coming up and down, but not looking at anything. Suddenly there was a loved one in there and ran to ask: Where to go? Ever come back? etc. Why is that? Because it is related to me; I also see that I am still lingering. On the contrary, how many other people do not have anything to do with me, so they don't need to pay attention.
Conclusion of this point, the longer the karma is, the longer the birth is, the more birth is left to say. Tathagata is out of kamma, so there is no birth place, no place of birth, so I cannot speak, so just remain silent, stop commenting.
(Tap A Ham, no. 406)
One day Buddha was in the same pathways as the Lake of Di Hau, I heard this:
Then the Blessed One told the Bhikkhus: If the earth collapsed into a tank, there was a blind turtle. living countless lives, a hundred years new head up once. In the sea, there are only one hole in the sea, floating on the sea surface according to the wind to the East and West, the blind one hundred years old turtle has risen to find trees, will it meet this puffiness?
Nan said:
- Can't see, Mr. Sun! For what reason? Because if this turtle comes to Dong lake, the tree will follow the wind to the West, South, and the North of the four sides, so will the surrounding and not meet.
Buddha told A Nan:
- The blind tortoise finds the tree wrong, but sometimes meets each other, the foolish people drift in the five animals temporarily, and it is more difficult than the other blind turtle looking for trees. For what reason? Because other beings do not act, do not practice, do not act well, do not act honestly, murder each other, strong rape, create countless crimes. So, Bhikkhu! For the four Holy Gods, if they are not uninterrupted, must diligently find the means to increase the upper and lower level.
Buddha said this Bible already, the Bhikkhu monks listened to Buddha saying that he was happy to serve.
Through the story of the blind Buddha-led turtle, do we consider it contrary to the "Selfless" spirit of Buddhism? Because the Buddhist policy is to break down, seeing the body of the five aggregates as if it is puzzling doesn't make sense, why are you here?
In fact, it is said that this body is "difficult to meet", not dear and important, it is a treasure to worship as one thinks, but the precious meaning here is to refer to life, time. live, what to do for its true meaning.
In life there are two categories of people who confuse:
- The first class is too pessimistic for this body, for it is impure, is evil, mean, temporary etc., then wants to destroy it dissipated, like the story: When Buddha is still alive, One day preaching He talked about "The body is impure". He then told them to allow him to stay for a period of three months, no one would visit but only one attendant. After three months or more he saw the number of Bhikkhu monks sparse. He asked the reason, A Nan said: After listening to The Sun preached on the dharma "Quan impure", the monks and nuns found this body so dirty that some teachers hired the killers to give birth to see it. ! The Buddha immediately gathered the monks and nuns, restraining the precepts: "No one can hire a murderer, if it is to kill, it is a crime". That is the first class.
- The second category, on the contrary, they are too important to this body, year-round throughout the month, there is a great deal of fondness for the body, not daring to use it for anything, even though it is worth doing and should do .
The above two classes are contrary to the moral spirit of Buddha. Buddha says this body is impermanent, impure, etc. that shows the truth to us to realize that we will not be indulged in sexual pleasure. When we understand it, we must use it to cultivate or do things that benefit people, not to understand the impermanence to pessimism and then go to suicide, which is a mistake!
With the eyes of the Buddhist monk, still seeing this body as a temporary, impermanent person, they still hold this body as a means of cultivation. As someone who wants to cross the river, he still knows that the log section is not worth it at all, but when playing with the middle of the line, he still has to use it as a buoy when I have not arrived yet. Is there any foolish person, when he is still out in the sea and rushing to leave "friends"? Also, when the religion is not yet reached, it is necessary to borrow this body as a boat to reach the enlightened shore. When I came to the shore at that time, I did not miss any friends. If you have not attained religion yet, then canceling yourself is a miserable mistake!
In Sutra copy: One day the Buddha opened a little bit of soil, sticking the tip of his fingernails and asking them in the congregation: "Is there much of the head of the nail or the earth of the earth?" In the congregation, they all replied: "The White World, the earth globe is very much, compared to the soil where the nail is absorbed!". Buddha concluded: "Also, beings who leave this body and then return to the human body are very few like the top of the nail, and go to the animals as much as the earth of the earth."
It is also said that this Venerable Co has a saying: "Hundred years of iron trees are blooming and easy, a loss of this body, all life is hard to find" (The life of a young woman who is born in a strange state, is the best of all life).
Therefore, we are practitioners who are traveling on a miles away route, must have an accurate view of this body so as not to be unfinished in the middle of the road without reaching the other shore!
One day the Buddha in the Xa Ve forest in Da Da garden, he granted the solitude, I heard like this:
At that time, the king of the Three Persons went to the Buddha, bowed his head at the feet of the Buddha, retreated to one side, white Buddha:
- So What is it? The Brahmin died and returned to being born in the Brahmin? So is the profit, Bhikkhu and Thu Da la?
- Great King! It is like that. Dai Vuong should know there are four classes of people:
- Someone from night to night.
- Someone from night to morning.
- Someone from morning to night.
- Someone from morning to morning.
Great King! What kind of people from night to night?
- There are people born in a convenient company or a house of Chien Da La (Candala), a net-making house, a house of a carpenter, a carpenter's house and a low-skilled, poor, premature, evil body. again doing low-level professions, also being wronged by wrong people, it is called dark.
In the dark place, the other is evil, his mouth speaks evil, evil thoughts, because of that sabotage, he will destroy his evil life. For example, if someone from night to night, from a latrine to a latrine, use blood to wash the blood, discharge evil evil life, and so on from night to night.
What is the person from night to morning?
- There are people who are born in a convenient family, until they work in a low way, it is called dark. But the other person is in this dark place, the body of good deeds, good action, good deeds, due to the predestined relationship, it destroys the common network, being born in a healthy realm, being transformed into heaven. For example, some people step up on the platform from a horse to ride a horse, from a horse to an elephant.
What is the person from morning to night?
- There are people born in the rich family or wealthy Prosecutor, or the rich Brahmin, the feudal chief and rich families of money, servants, many intellectuals, good friends, and wisdom, that is called light. In this bright spot, the body of evil acts, the evil action, the evil action, due to the fate of the human body that destroys the realm of evil, hell. For example, if someone from a high floor comes down to ride an elephant, from an elephant down to a horse, from a horse to a car, from a car to a cot, from a platform to a ground, from the soil to a cellar, from morning to night, it is the same.
What is the person from morning in the morning?
- There are people born in the rich family to good appearance. In this bright spot of mind, good action, good deeds, due to this predestined relationship, this is the realm of being reborn in the realm of being reborn in heaven. For example, someone from a beautiful floor to a beautiful floor, like that, from the morning to the morning, the same from morning to morning. Then Bhagavan said verse:

Buddha said this sutra already, the King of Persia heard the Buddha say that he was happy to celebrate and then left.
Reading through the above-mentioned article of causality, we see the cause and effect of Buddhism very broad and liberal. Because a large number of people in the world confess: Let the dead be born in the human world, the heavens die in the heavens, animals die of animals, etc. They don't know our life is a flow of transformation and transformation keep up every moment. From birth, bear karma of the past. Gradually becoming a human being has created new karma. If you encounter good conditions in good circumstances, near good knowledge teaches good things, good things will go to the realms of goodness. In contrast to the evil people, the bad situation infects evil karma, it will fall to the evil realms. So continue to rise and fall from one life to another, never stop (cause karma to pay retribution, pay retribution and cause kamma, etc.)
So here Buddha points out four classes of people:
- People from night to night.
- People from night to morning.
- People from morning to night.
- People from morning in the morning.
The first one is a person with less merit. In the past, sowing the unwholesome cause, nowadays, the result of being born with evil and evil. Yet, they did not know how to do good to transform the suffering of the workers, they had to suffer forever (as from evening to night).
The second person, also in a bad situation (of the past kamma), but they know how to transform the karma into a good karma, that is, they are out of suffering (as from the evening in the morning).
The third class is the person who has merit, because the previous life created good people, this life enjoyed goodness, but they did not know how to cultivate, to continue to enjoy sexual pleasure, to create evil karma so that they must reap suffering. pain (like from morning to night).
The fourth person, this person who has both merit and virtue knows how to cultivate good karma, away from evil karma. This person goes on every day, his mind bright, the future they will rise to liberation (as from morning to morning).
In summary in the above four categories, there are two classes that know how to advance (second and fourth grades) and two classes that do not know how to advance (first and third grades). So whether the practice is progressive or rotten is whether or not we are going to convert karma, not by someone who decides. And the karma also doesn't have to fix good and evil, but it is up to us to convert it.
Knowing this, we will try to cultivate good, evil, and not be stuck in the "ordinary" and "passages" of the pagan.
One day the Buddha told the Bhikkhu monks to say: Monks! In my disciples there are divided into four categories of people. how is four?
- Outsiders are ripe in live.
- Outsiders live in nine
- Outsiders live in life
- Outsiders nine in nine.
- What is the type of outsider in the living?
That is, those who practice the outside of the world see the serene purity, but inside they let go of the lung, the thought cannot be subdued.
- What kind of outsider live in nine?
That is, those inside are pure but apart from rough almonds take off the bohemian.
- What are outsiders living in life?
That is, the outsiders are not pure.
- What are outsiders who are nine in nine?
That is, those in the outside are pure.
Hey Bhikkhu! The main class of this last person is the pure and pure class, worthy of being the preserve of the Tathagata.
Reading through the four above classes, we each self-review to see who they are?
Are we the only one who looks after the appearance of a superficial figure with a very formal appearance, but in the heart to let the garbage fill up, how much is a bad evil idea without There was no backlighting moment, subduing myself. How shameful it is! If it is not possible to lie to a man, it is impossible to lie to him. Once the charm is ripe, the beautiful shirt is worn out, what is hidden in it for a long time it manifests itself, what is the result, we can take care of ourselves, can we cover it? In addition to ripening, it cannot be used in life.
Or guys outside let go of the loose lung, happy to be rough, someone reminded to say, "I keep inside". Too wrong! If the inside has been purified, what reason will the general be rude? Except for a few cases where Bodhisattva manifests in particular, because of the sensitization of some people, it is also feared that we are enchanted or not. Although we do indeed have in our hearts "Holy", but around us how many people they are still living with humanity, do not understand how we are inside. Therefore, seeing our actions through crude, they stabbed to destroy the righteousness of the Dharma, criticizing the Three Jewels; Unknowingly we take them into the deeper path of sin. Thus, we have not yet achieved the self-interest and self-interest. So even if we have a heartless heart, but because of the benefit of the need to be careful and impossibly imposing. Don't leave it in nine but out of it.
What about both inside and outside? Hope we are not in this category!
The last rank, in the mind shining with wisdom. In addition to the strict world of almonds, there is no defect called "Like the jade of the moonlight" throughout the outside. Indeed, a position of wisdom and virtue are full, so that the world will not see errors. If so, then I have to ask the Tathagata to sign, but The Sun has praised it! So are we this class?
Looking closely, the four above classes speak separately, but looking back in each of us is enough, what's strange? When the body is pure outside, but in the mind, is it the first and not the first? At the time of the body, however rough and pure, in the mind, the purity of the mind is second. Both inside and outside are rough in third place. The inside and outside are pure at the fourth rank. The previous three classes, the first and the third, lacked the practice, the second class had the practice but the cons, only the fourth rank was full.
In short, if we are not as good as this fourth class, we must try to add more to be united, which will later be a benefit for all people.
In the Samyutta Sutra, Buddha tells the story: As there are six beasts: monkeys, canoes, crocodiles, birds, wolves, snakes. The six animals were taken together to form a cluster. Each one uses all of his power to pull each direction. (Monkey pulled on trees, crocodiles dragged into the sea, birds flew to nowhere, dragged the mound, snake dragged into the cave, wolves pulled the bushes). In that case, if any one is strong, pull the others in their direction.
Likewise, each base - eyes, ears, nose tongue, body, mind - of any human being, if any one practices the kinship, it will attract others to follow it.
For example: As the eyes are affected by chromatin, the ears also affect the hearing of the colors. The nose, tongue, body and mind are all the same.
Therefore, the Bhikkhu monks had to use the "Zen Quan" pillar to tie the six children back, when struggling, it would stand still.
Buddha says the correlation of the bases. Based on the scene it appeals to the power called "karma". Because the new karma has the power to lead beings in reincarnation.
So to stop the engine to create karma, cultivators must use meditation as a pillar to stop it. Which wing meditation?
Contemplate these five aggregates because of the temporary conditions. Because of the charm, there is nothing real and often. Considering it so clearly, there is no longer the concept of sinking first, cutting off the craving line and no longer creating karma, ie leaving the reincarnation line.
Also in Tuong Ung Bo Kinh, the Buddha tells the story: There is a king, one day is sitting, suddenly heard next to someone who cracks the Tỳ bà, a deep cry. The king told me to bring it back to the king. The pianist brought the guitar to the table in front of the king. The King asked: "Why does it not make a good sound?" The other person explained: "Because it lacks a man's hand." The king told me to take the instrument out and split each piece and asked: "Where is the sound?". And finally the King said, "If you cannot find the sound of the time, then burn it!". When burning a tree into a king's ash, he blows the ashes to the clouds, saying, "Only a little bit that fascinates many people."
The body of this five aggregates and the other is not different. Sufficient charm is a temporary assumption, when the grace is found, then where to find it?
Hamlet chief Na Ca Da asked Buddha:
- Bach The Ton, what causes agitation of suffering?
Buddha asked:
- If there are people in the village who died or had an accident, did you suffer?
- Bach The Ton, sometimes sad, sometimes not.
-- Why?
- If the person who died or suffered an accident is a relative of a child, then I am sad. On the contrary, I am not sad.
Buddha concluded:
- The root of sadness is because of craving.
The main motive of suffering is craving. But the root of craving is by accepting ego. From accepting ego, there is a falling place, which is related to the ego, such as property, wife and children, kin attached, etc. If it is possible, be happy, deliberately keep it safe to dare to loose, miss and lose, then sadness, misery pain etc. So in the Dharma Owl, Buddha taught:
Compassion born lo
Due to the fear of being born
If you leave love If
you are afraid of fear?
(Due to the favor of
loving-kindness, birth, father, father,
love, love, love?
Hà pros?)
A layman came to ask the Buddha:
- Bach The Ton, I heard the pagans say that people who kill children, robbery, adultery, lie must be suffering, is it right?
Buddha replied:
- Not true! For example: If someone goes to the battle to kill many enemies, when he gets back, he will be rewarded. So while being born, there is no suffering. On the other hand, if the person killed the dignity in the country will be guilty.
For example, if someone comes to another country to get the money of the treasure to bring to his country, he will be rewarded by the king. So while working on robbers, there is no misery. In contrast, if robbery of the mandarins will be arrested and tortured.
For example, if someone comes to the enemy of the king to catch a beautiful girl to bring him to be a servant for the king, he will be rewarded by the king. Thus, even if the unrighteous work is also rewarded by the king, it is not miserable. On the other hand, if you are in love with the concubine of the agency, you will be sentenced to exile.
For example, if someone uses a plot to deceive a country to seize land for their country, they will be rewarded by the king. Although it is a lie, there is no misery. On the contrary, if lying to the court will be punished.
Through the example above, we see that people who are close to life, stealing robbery, sexual misconduct, lying lies must definitely suffer (sufferers who are happy). Thus, the Buddha's cause and effect base is right? However, the cause and effect are not wrong, but we only look at the present without knowing the past to see the future. If you create any person, the result will be like killing your life, robbers must pay your debts, etc. In the Sutra of Sutra, Buddha says: "Suppose that hundreds of thousands of lives are not lost. bear". So we must have a broad and thorough view of the Buddha's cause and effect to avoid confusion in life.
One day the Buddha asked the monks to say:
- For example, on a snowy mountain, where the land is made by animals. Someone took a sap from the food to lure the monkey. A few monkeys for greed, leave the flock and go to the food grabbing hands. Stupidly clinging to it, it was stuck with hard plastic! The monkey took the other hand and removed it, injured it! Stick with one hand. The monkey grabbed his face again, and another leg stuck to the plastic. Follow the hard copper left leg. Suffering! The monkey had only his mouth, and he hoped to use his mouth to get rid of it. But alas! The resin is not left behind. So two hands, two legs and a mouth of a monkey sticking hard to the sap. Pitiful! The other leverman could take him wherever he wanted.
Hey Bhikkhu! The other sap is like the five senses, and the five parts (arms, legs and mouth) stick to the plastic like five bases.
- Eyes sharp.
- Ear stick stick.
- Smell nose.
- Tongue stick taste.
- Body stick.
Like the other monkey, when the five hardened parts stick to the sap, it is up to the other person to take it. In the same way, someone who is five-year-old is hard-pressed into the five senses.
In short, because I did not stay in my place, I suffered. What is in your place? That is the "Four Mindfulness". Ordinary people who observe satipahāna are not dragged or led. Like the other monkey, if he stays in the herd, he will not suffer.
Five sexes do not harm people, only in people who forget the mindfulness and stunned the five sexes. Like the other monkey because of his appetite but separated from the herd, he suffered. So cultivators are not difficult, just don't be passionate about sex. But the five senses are not at fault, the mind is mindful. If you think about your thoughts, you are not mindful. On the contrary, if the mind is not, the scene is still silent, but still in the five senses, usually liberates. So in Tin Tam Minh there is a sentence:
"To come to the most redundant, don't hate the six ceilings
.
There is a Ni Ni Ni Ni to Buddha who says:
- If you are killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, etc., you must go to hell. And if you do something for a long time, you will enjoy it.
Buddha said:
- He said that is not true. Why? Because if you say it like him, there is not much hell in this world. If you do something for a long time and you will enjoy it, for example, killing and robbing for example, in one day they just need to take action for a moment, and in addition, the rest of the time they will do other things. Thus, the time of killing etc. is short, the other working time is long, so they will enjoy that long time.
Secondly, it comes to murder, robbery, sexual misconduct, and so on. In this world, no one can cultivate. Why? Because tu or not tu must also fall into hell. Therefore, I only say that I should not kill, steal robbery, adultery, and if I miss it, repent and modify it.
We have a mistake that is fixed at all. Fixed goodness is good, evil is fixed evil, unmoving, immutable. If so, no one can practice it, it is fixed like that, even if you practice it, it will not change anything. Accidentally bringing each other to the place of risk, mistakenly missed the wrong, no hope to rise up. Therefore, the Buddha refused to create evil to fix hell, giving us faith in improvement. Hoping to rise, rise, do not resign themselves forever in darkness, sin!
Also, if you work for a long time, you will enjoy it. Suppose for a long time we do good deeds, only for a short time to do the killing, robbery, etc., is it a hellish thing? So these two sentences are contradictory.
A layman asked Buddha:
- Bach The Ton, why is the pagan religion sixty two mortgage? As they accept: the world is often, the world is impermanent, the world is boundless, the world is boundless, this body is true, this body is not real, Nirvana also exists, Nirvana no longer exists, etc.
Buddha answers :
- Due to the intimacy (accepting body), there should be an idea like that. So do you know what ants are?
The layman said:
- Because the aggregate of aggregates is one of us, our being, the aggregate of the aggregate is one of us, of us, the aggregate of the aggregate is one of us, of the aggregate of the aggregate is one of mine, the aggregate of consciousness is our , that is the body.
Buddha praised:
- That's right!
Because the ego clinging (the five aggregates is one), there should be a dispute, from which there are sixty-two appeals. If you see this body of these five aggregates as lightning power, like foam, like the morning dew, then the opposing ants will follow.
The two false Religions quarreled about the history of fetters and fetters. One told me and used a different name but the same meaning. The other said another name. The two quarreled but did not fall, to ask Buddha to resolve. Buddha taught:
- Like two cows (one white and one black) were stuck in a yoke. So which one is tied up, or at the yoke that binds both of you, losing freedom?
Also, the eye sees the "mindfulness arises", which binds the pillar (fetters), without the eyes and the materiality of the future being the infinite. Five years ago: the ears, the tongue, the body, the mind were the same.
The ceiling is not at fault but error by "awake". The formula has a good and bad distinction, etc., has just started to love and hate. As a result of taking part in the field, it created a karma to lead in reincarnation. On the contrary, if you do not initiate love and hate, then taking part in the field of anger does not initiate.
In order to lighten this idea, please guide the Old Emperor 's shelf:
Seeing the color without the sharpness
Listening to the word does not have the sound of the Mandarin
language if you are not afraid to
Straighten to the Dharma King (Buddha).
(Knowledge excellent non-sharp colors
Van thinh real estate market
Thinh is not afraid of Made in
France France.)
A Buddhist monk came to ask the Buddha:
- I heard the pagan say: Whoever dances or makes many people happy, after death will be born to heaven "Humpy" is that right?
Buddha silently did not respond. He repeated the question over three times. The new Buddha said:
- The people who dance are happy to make the mind let go of the lung, the three poisons (greed and hatred) arise. Because of that creation, he will suffer the "Hundred-kill" hell.
People are easily misled, thinking that if they do anything for others to enjoy, they will be blessed. But they don't know how to have fun. If you are happy in the province in the morning, stop the thoughts, in accordance with morality, is pure, happy to be liberated. On the contrary, to enjoy the five senses, to follow beauty, language or etc., to make mental disturbances and defilements arise, to be mundane and joyful, to practice human beings.
Thus, if any creator makes others happy, the result of the up and down clearly cannot be mistaken.
Mr. Xa Loi Loi passed away, Mr. Cunda, after burning, gathered the relics and his bowl to bring to Buddha. He saw that A Nan sadly said to the Buddha:
- He is a teacher for my son, Loi Loi Loi, I often trust in Him, but I have already passed away! I'm so bored! I don't have enough spirit to cultivate anymore!
Buddha asked Ananda:
- Loi Loi Xa Xa passed away, but did the khandhas bring it?
- Dear Exalted, do not bring.
- Do Dinh u bring it?
- Dear Exalted, do not bring.
- Wisdom ... to liberate the tri opinion aggregates have brought affordable?
- Dear Exalted, no bring.
Buddha said:
- So, Xa Loi Phat, although he has passed away but "dharma" is still there, he goes on doing that and practices, what reason must be boring?
We have a habit of relying on the outside but rarely trust in us. On the way of spiritual practice is far away, if it is not wise to realize the righteous practice to bring about a firm belief for yourself, we must rely on the teacher outside forever, sometimes we have to play with the middle of the road, no place rely on. Because the teacher has mercy on us, but is limited. It is self-realizing that "dharma" is the true teacher who helps us on the whole journey. That "Dharma" here Buddha called the Precepts, Concentration, Clearance, Liberation, and other places called the Wisdom, Dharmakaya or the Abhidharma. We are smart to live with that is the long-term refuge; I don't have to worry about loss and separation.
There is Mr. Tama Monastic Tantra coming to ask Buddha:
- Do you sometimes have lessons that you have never learned but suddenly remembered, sometimes there are notes that you have memorized but forget, so what?
Buddha said:
- There are two reasons:
- When you forget, you have five hindrances (greed, anger, lamentation, repentance, suspicion) that cover up your mind, so it is easy to forget.
- When I remember, I was temporarily away from the five slopes, so I had to remember many things.
For example: As a bowl of clear water, we bring it into blue, yellow, red ... to lose transparency, so it is difficult to see your face when you look at the bowl of water. Also, when the mind has the involvement, it will blur the mind.
- Like a bowl of water boiled in hot water, look where you can see your face. Likewise, when we raised the pitch , the mind active, restless, forgetting lucid.
- Like the water bowl covered by moss, looking at you can't see your face. When the lobe , the dreamy mind is hard to remember.
- As the water bowl wobbles wobbly, we look in, your face wavering hardly. Also, when it comes to repentance , the mind is not calm, so it is difficult to remember.
- Like a bowl of water, just stirring and letting it go dark, when you look at me, you can't see your face. Well, when the mind is suspicious or the mind is blurry, cannot remember the long-term work.
In short, there are five hindrances ( fasting : binding; what : covering), memory fades, not five dishes of hindrances, memory is bright.
This shows us the wisdom that is available in the ordinary mind, not from where it comes from, just because the mind starts to become crazy, so the insight is hidden as the pure mind is covered. covered by five hindrances. If we want to enlighten our wisdom, we should go back to the normal mind (like the inner water bowl), then the other five bound dishes will no longer cover, even then the present wisdom is not far away.
One day Buddha went to qifu gangui in the back of the City. That afternoon I heard a bit of cold in the person, he sat and sat in the sun, unraveling his wrinkled back skin. Seeing that, Ananda rubbed Buddha's back and said:
- Oh! The Tonkin skin is no longer as smooth as the old days! His back was slightly leaned forward, nothing of the boyhood!
Buddha said:
- That's right, A Nan! It is old in the child, death lies in life. Our body is also corrupted at some point inevitably.
There is birth and death, there is ruin in the city, impermanence dominates the whole world without leaving anyone. Although the Buddha goes on, if he still carries this false body, he will also suffer from birth, old age, sickness, death, impermanence, and destruction. Why? Because it is a charming word.
There are some who wonder: "Is Buddha still old, still dead?"
Indeed, we are too mistaken! The Buddha's wall is not this stinking skin. But being a Buddha is a mind of wisdom that sees truth. If you receive the body of seven, this eighty years is Buddha, ie destroy the Buddha's body. Apparently this person has not seen Buddha's feet.
The body of six golden staff, thirty-two good generals now? Yet there are those who still want to practice this magic, hoping to hold this humid body until thousands of years, do you have to be confused?
Understanding this fact, we need to make efforts to cultivate. Because the constant impermanence pursues us without leaving a moment, and our deadly death does not set a date, if it is easy to leisurely walk through the day I sometimes regret it!
Do we have time to date tomorrow?
Today I read in Sutra The Bible saw an unheard of sutra. The sutta is "Is there any method?".
Buddha said:
- Hey Bhikkhu! Not by faith, not by people, not by education but when eyes are for identity, ears for silence, nose for incense etc. knowing that there is attachment and ignorance, so that knowledge ( knowing that there is greed and ignorance, is there any method?
Saying there is such a method as the four foundations of mindfulness, the recitation of the Buddha's name or the first verse, for example, when the six bases for the six ceilings "Know" with greed and ignorance and ignorance, "know" that is dhamma what subject? Who transmits? Do you study? So what is the difference with Zen? As Mr. Tuyet Phong, after returning from Duc Son, the monk asked:
- What is the Venerable Master to Duc Son?
Tuyet Phong replied:
- We go hand in hand.
Try asking him what? What's the difference with above? So Duc Son also said:
- I am not an owl, not a person.
In the past, we only heard from the Patriarch, now we have heard the Buddha speak, but this is the Sutta of Theravada Buddhism. It is clear from before that Buddha said that, but not Zen, what is laid out!
Now, through our hope, every day. If there is hope, no hope, no hope, then "Know" is hopeless, what hope is it? Who transmits it? Along with the "Know" has greed and hatred, not greedy and sad in other sutras! Kia said that he is greedy, this is a hope of hope and hope.
By reading in the Sutra and then we have more profound beliefs in our cultivation way, otherwise we will continue to run East and West without going anywhere.
So, there is hope Knowing that there is hope, not hope Knowing no hope. What is this knowledge?
One day the Buddha in the land of A Bhikkhu (Ayyojjhà) next to the Ganges, I heard it like this:
At that time The Sun told the Bhikkhus: If the Ganges was a strong stream of water, it was forming a foam, the eyes of the people looked carefully. distinguish, know it is not really unsustainable. For what reason? Because the bubbles inside are not so sure. Monks! The appearances, either past, future, present, out, crude, good, far and near, Bhikkhu watch carefully, consider discrimination, know that it is not real, unsustainable, like a disease, like a boil , like stabbing, like killing, impermanence, suffering, non-falling. For what reason? Because Sac is not sure .
Monks and nuns! For example, a heavy rain of water bubbles has just appeared, suddenly, the bright eyes look carefully, thinking that it is not real, not sustainable. For what reason? Because the bubble in the other country is not sure. Like Bhikkhu! The life expectancy, either the past, the future, the present, the outside, the crude, the good and the bad, the near, the monks see carefully the discrimination, know that it is not real, unsustainable, like a disease, like a boil, like stabbing, like killing, impermanence, suffering, no, non-falling. For what reason? Because Tho is not sure .
Monks and nuns! For example, in the late spring and early summer, there is no cloud, no rain, when the sun is right at noon, the sunny horse is flickering, the bright eyes look carefully to distinguish it from unreal, unsustainable. For what reason? Because those sunny horses are not sure. Like Bhikkhu! Ideas, either past, future, present, out, crude, good, far and near, Bhikkhu watch carefully consider discrimination, know it is not real, not durable, like disease, like boils, like stabbing, like killing, impermanence, suffering, no, non-falling. For what reason? Because the Leader is not sure .
Monks and nuns! For example, the bright eyes go to find solid wood, hammering into the forest, see the banana tree upright, long and big, then tighten the roots, then peel it one by one, without seeing the wood, looking carefully at the fertilizer. special, know it is not real, unstable. Why not? Because banana trees are not sure. Like Bhikkhu! The actions, either past, future, present, outside, crude, good and bad, far away, Bhikkhu look carefully at discrimination, know it is not real, not durable, like disease, like boils, like stabbing, like killing, impermanence, suffering, no, non-falling. For what reason? Because things are not sure .
Monks and nuns! For example, the illusory teacher at the crossroads of the road, recounting the things of soldiers, infantry, people with bright eyes, looking carefully at discrimination, knowing that it is not real and unsustainable. For what reason? Because those magic tricks are not sure. So, Bhikkhu! The knowledge of the past or the past, the future, the present, the outside, the coarse, the good and the distant, the Bhikkhu Kheo looks carefully, considers discrimination, knows that it is unreal, unsustainable, like a disease, like a boil, like stabbing, like killing, impermanence, suffering, no, non-falling. For what reason? Because Thuc is not sure .
At that time, The Sun wanted to restore this meaning to say the verse:
Consistent contemplation as a bubble of
Life as a bubble of water
Thinking like a sun wave horse
Onions like banana trees
The awakening as illusory
B level of respect you have said
Around considerate carefully
Mindfulness of contemplation
Not really unstable
There is no self, falling into the
body of this kind of warm body
Distinguished position says that
He left the other three
Bodhisattvas to become an object to leave the
egg and the consciousness
Leaving these bodies
Leaving out of the cemetery
As the tree does not know
this Body, it must be like
Letting the fool
Like killing, like being wounded
There is no firmness The
Bhikkhu needs to practice
Watching this body warmly
Day and night Specialist
Chief Justice is forced to recite the Mind of the
Ordinary and often ends
.
Then the Bhikkhu monks listened to Buddha saying that he was happy to serve.
This is the impermanent image of the five khandhas (or five aggregates) that Buddha expresses very clearly:
First the Buddha taught us to observe warmly as a foam. Already a foam, it is not durable. Because warm colors are not true, due to interdependent conditions (eg in the body, hardware of the soil, liquid parts of the water, breath of wind, heat of fire). Because of charming conditions, it is enough to have temporary conditions and lack of charm. So Buddha used foam to give examples of warm colors.
Second, consistent warm life is not as real as water bubbles. Life is not real, because the six bases exposed to the six ceilings are feeling life, such as happy life, suffering, normal life, etc. But these lifetimes are not long-lasting, only transient and then lost. Like a bubble of water, a sudden stir came.
The third is warm thought It is not as realistic as the midday sun wave, on the straight plastic road surface, due to the reflection of the sun, we see the sunshine waves flickering like horses running, etc. The sun waves are reflected by the sun but not true. The idea of warmth is the same, because the mind is mindful of the scene even though the scene is over, but the foreground figures remain in the mind whenever you think about it, it appears. The shadow makes it so real.
Fourth, warm practice is not true. Action is the arising and falling away of consciousness. In the Buddhist Sutra, every moment (blink of an eye) has sixty thoughts arising and falling away. It is like a waterfall, the change continues very quickly, not standing still, but we only see it on the pretense of warming and it is true (for example, a banana tree).
Thursday, warm food is not true, like illusory. For example, the magician turned out to be a tiger, but in fact the tiger is not real, only by magic. Consciousness is the distinction, this distinction is also not true, depending on the type of karma of nature of beings that appear differently. Like this writing desk, for me the writing desk, in contrast to the beetle, their food, etc. What distinction is correct. So Buddha says the warmth is not true.
In short, Buddha said that the body of warmth (kamma, feeling, thought, consciousness) is impermanent to break the maze of accepting the thousands of lives of beings. When it is clear that it is impermanent, is fake, is temporary, then we will be willing to accept ego at times (because it does not really accept anything?). If the love is falling, then all the defilements (greed and anger) follow. At this time, the cycle of reincarnation has ended, all suffering of yoke dissipates. Typically for this practice is the Buddha Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva when using the position of Bat Nha in a year of deep warmness, immediately away from suffering.
Madame Madame and the king of Persia one day preached. The Persian King asked:
- Doesn't love or love anyone most in this world?
Lady answered:
- I love you most dearly.
And the lady asked,
"Do you love anyone the most in this world?"
The king replied:
- I love love the most, but no one else.
Ms. Moi said,
"If your Majesty allows you, I will say a little differently."
- Love me, just say it.
- I want you, in fact, in this world, I can only love you the most.
The King listened to the cryptic words:
- So what? Please say more clearly.
- I want you, just because I love you, I want you to make this body happy. Wanting to have my body happy, my concubine must love you. Maybe your new lord loves you again and gives you love, you can be happy. Because of my love, I fell in love with you.
The king heard the truth of "love" through his most loving lady, the king was shocked. A truth that seems too irony.
Ms. Mo Loi continued:
- As your Majesty, Your Majesty only loves you, Your Majesty. In order to understand this, as I am here, why do you want to love someone with another person? Is your majesty slashing the head of a concubine?
Here the king pointed out, understood the case, he nodded:
- Must be right, love is very true. Tram only loves me so much. I only love self.
Then the King of Persia and the Queen Mu Loi brought each other to the Buddha's eyes. The king wanted to ask Buddha to verify what Madame said.
Through the king's presentation, the Buddha listened and nodded to accept the words of Madame. That is the Buddha who speaks like this.
My mind goes along
All the heavens I ca
n't find anyone
more dear than self
Self-opposing people
So friendly so
So who loves self Do
n't harm self.
It is rational! If honesty looks back at your mind, you will see your mind as it is. The deep heart, the deep voice of my heart is like that.
My mind has gone through, all the sky, walking everywhere, every scene, everyone! Find out who is more intimate than ourselves, body than self.
Nothing in this world is passionate about love with love. This situation sometimes even passes through the love story. In love, the first hand of the pillow between such a charming husband and wife, love so happy. Like Mạt and her husband and wife, this couple is more beautiful than what? Real heart first. The love of both spirit and materiality, flesh and soul, is a perfect love. But to deepen my heart, Ms. Mo Loi heard her honest voice. The voice has been hidden under so many words of love with the king over many long years of living together: "The concubine only loves me god!". I just love me! An equally impressive revelation! The truth is that.
And the king's turn was the same. The king heard his heart. From the sound of that heart, it will urge the king to be more cruel to behave "love" when he is affair!
What is that? The "self" is touched, lost, caress, lack of enjoyment.
So what is the truth of the so-called "love" in this world? Below, the surface of love is like that, what is love? And can I love anything?
And to say such a bitterness, it can be said: Love is a mutual advantage through body and soul, to satisfy self.
No one looks at the face of love. Nobody touches love. Why? Because it's not true. It is just a manifestation of self. Say love to people, ie love for self, love yourself.
So "self" is the only thing to love. Saying love, saying love, saying something, all are voices for self. So self is more intimate than anything in this world.
Think about it and think that the self is too familiar with himself. I have loved "self" to preserve "self", and must respect "self". Because people love their "self" as well. So do not ruin human self. A person who wants to have a noble holy life must live like that.
Respect for "self" means respect for freedom and equality. Life and people who have equal freedom in the foundation like that, life is worth living. Happiness does not pray, but it does.
If not, happiness in this world is just an attractive shadow. Everyone sought it out, and then only took the hardship and grief, so much suffering.
This is quite a truth. Although they did not agree, they were present.
Life has so much to do with it. And then ask who brought the suffering to this life? Who's there! Only "I" (self) hurts me.
To create a relatively comfortable life for each other, practice living like this advice:
So, who loves self Do
not harm self. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.26/12/2018.
