Maze and feeling.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.

Sometimes we are crazy. For example, I thought I was smart, wise, but who just said, "You are stupid!" But actually proved to be stupid. Let's just laugh, say, "Yes, I am stupid." Saying that is nothing to shout, it is not miserable.

In meditation houses often say, when enlightened, the eyes see like blindness, the ears are like deafness. As blind but not blind, as deaf but not deaf. Suppose we go to the market, listen to people chatter all kinds of things, but I don't stick, not paying attention. When I returned to my family, I asked, "What does the market see today?" I said, "I don't see anything." But did I see the truth? See but not sticking out like not seeing. If we pay attention to anything, when we are asked, we immediately answer: "See this and that." That is, I have accumulated dharma in the mind.

So cultivation has many good points that we don't know. As the road is said to offend honor to his honor, go home at least, I told my relatives. Since a person who hears me is not satisfied, I have to tell this person the other person about a hundred times, so I have memorized it in the deep memories. So when it comes to meditation, it emerges, leaving a moment when it emerges. That's because we have memorized so deeply.

Not the hands of the chain, the body of meditation meditated. The time when the chain of meditation was practiced, and the one who came immediately shouted was not to cultivate. He does not show any spiritual practice, but walk freely naturally, whoever says anything, ignores it and does not mind, it is really true.

Like when I was a kid, when I wanted to study, I had to read and read many times to belong. Bringing it deep is due to revisiting many times. Missing it, when you want to forget, you have to practice it often to forget it, there is no other way. Yet, when there is sadness, anger is brought to us immediately. Meet anyone, tell me how to forget it. When meditating, it rises again and again: "Suffering! Cultivators are difficult. ”Who is difficult? At me, whoever accumulates much, it rises a lot.

Now we see only see, don't care about paying attention. Seeing everything that the mind does not hold, it is not easy to cultivate. If cultivating is to find something far away, it is difficult, here it is already there, just come back and show money. We can't see the true truth because the ceiling is so hard inside, so come back to see the whole magazine.

The sitting meditation hours are the hours when I come back, I see the disorderly French ceiling, so I think I have a lot of confusion. Seeing many delusions is much advanced. Because in the old days, when they raised themselves, they ran after them so they could not see them. Although it is still, I have mastered it a bit. In the past, it led me to follow completely, now it appears that I refuse to follow, it is clear progress. But many times Buddhists see it and fear and cultivate what they think so much. The truth is progressive, progressing step by step, not not advancing.

The next step is that outside of the meditation hours, when we come into contact with all things, we find it clear but ignore, not mindful, that we cultivate every time and everywhere. Not the hands of the chain, the body of meditation meditated. The time when the chain of meditation was practiced, and the one who came immediately shouted was not to cultivate. He does not show any spiritual practice, but walk freely naturally, whoever says anything, ignores it and does not mind, it is really true.

Sometimes we are crazy. For example, I thought I was smart, wise, but who just said, "You are stupid!" But in fact, it proved to be stupid.

If not stupid, I just smile, say, "Yes, I am stupid." Saying that is nothing to shout, it is not miserable. Yet anyone who said he was stupid and tried to fight, and then all sorts of things to sue ... is it miserable? So both sides are crazy.

Things are so small, but I don't know how to cultivate, so keep accumulating in my mind to become sick. Now that we want to give up, we have to remove those times, slowly meditating will be calm and peaceful. Anyone who said anything, I laughed. The Buddha in the past suffered from Brahmin following scolding, he did not say, did not receive it, but Ba-la-Mon had to suffer, not dare to scold anymore, how strong.

Buddha is an enlightened being so he sees someone who loves him, does not object, does not resist anything but regains them. And now we hear an unsatisfactory sentence, protesting and resisting, eventually getting bigger and bigger. So we are like those who love the other, no more and no less, right? I am a provincial person, I must be better than a love. They said it because I just laughed, it didn't happen. How is that?

So people who know how to renounce everything are not important. It is important not to let the six ceiling entice you, to return to your true self. The truth is that everyone has it, but because I hope to cover it up, I don't realize it. So Zen Master Nam Tuyen Pho Nguyen said, a person who meditates like a goose gods drinks milk without water. The sentence sounded like I wanted to break my head! How can I drink milk? These two things mixed together, how to filter?

Such sentences, it took me many years to see its meaning. What is milk? What is water? Mindful and true mind where we mix, not one or two. So how to filter the mind and soul out of hope? Here, we just need to be a little smart to see it. That knowing in the money is milk, and the messy prism is water. The clutter of distractions, we do not follow, just live with a quiet, pure knowing. That is, I removed water and drank milk. Yes, I am the goose god.

Quiet moments, we sit and play without thinking. At that time, my ears were still listening, I could still see my eyes without thinking about things. So that knowledge I already have, but just think this and that and forget the eternal knowledge. Now just by not following the disturbing things, it shows money. If we don't chase after what our eyes see, earphones, sniffs, tasting tongues ... eat and drink, just drink, do all the things but don't stick, if not Buddha, then at least I am slapping you .

So do not stick with the six ceiling is known to turn the head, still stick with the six ceiling is already working away in birth and death, nothing difficult. In the meditation house there is the story of butcher, when he hears a saying of the Zen master, immediately awakens and makes a verse:

Nhat Nhat Da-rubbing mind,

Kim trieu Bo-slapped,

Da-ya data of Bo-slaps,

The most irregular way to route.

Translate:

Yesterday yaksha mind,

Today, Bo-slapped face,

Da-rub and Bo-slaps,

Not one way.

Bo-slaps and yaksha are only separated at a glance. Looking out to be enchanted, turning around is a feeling, as easy as a hand with nothing to stop. Yet we can't do it, just sluggishly. Meditation is special there, but it is still consistent with what Buddha taught in the past. I will conduct the sutra to prove this.

In the A-jaw Sutra recounts, one day after meditating in the forest, the Buddha discharged the sitting meditation. Suddenly, he saw a turtle crawling toward him, behind the can chasing the tail of the turtle, the turtle pulled its tail into the shell. Taking a shot at the foot, the turtle pulled its legs into tomorrow. Just like that, taking a bite and shooting, the turtles also pulled all the parts into tomorrow. I can't take it all, so I leave.

At the end of the story, the Buddha said: "The monk too, if you know how to keep the six bases without running after the six ceiling, there will be no ghosts who will catch it." The story is really good.

Another story. The Buddha said in a herd of monkeys, there was a monkey who went behind the colony to see that some of the older children ate a lot of delicious fruits, and I was too disadvantaged. He broke the instrument, went alone to eat well. When he saw the good bait, he took it with his hand, not expecting it to be a plastic trap, so his hand was covered with plastic. He then removed the other hand so the other hand was stuck. The monkey immediately took his right leg and swung his right leg; Take your left leg and stick it, your feet stick. It whipped its tail to remove it, the tail was also sticky. Finally, with his mouth, he put on his mouth, and his mouth was sticky. So a total of six parts are all plastic. The hunter who only needed to collect the monkey removed the basket and finished.

Buddha said: "Also, if anyone has six bases attached to six ceiling, just like the other monkey to six parts that attach to the plastic, he will be led easily by the demon king." So the Buddha taught How do we cultivate? Is keeping six bases do not give clinging to six ceiling. This is a truth and not an imagination. That was my lead in A-jaw.

Coming to Kim Cang, Luc Toi enlightened from the sentence: "Anything of the mind-base of birth, the mind of the mind, the flavor, the taste, the mind, the mind; I am immeasurable for the birth of the mind, "which is not attached to the ceiling, but the mind of Bodhi. Bodhi mind is pure mind, without attachment, Bodhisattva's mind shows money. Also thought is mind being destroyed. After the enlightenment, the Sixth Patriarch exclaimed: "I doubt my mind is pure now!" Because I am pure, I am not killed, and the disturbance is the mind that arises. At that moment, the Five Patriarch transmitted the mind and gave him the medicine.

Cultivation is nothing strange. The Patriarch Buddha has no two paths, just because of different means of propagation. Seeing so, understanding that, we realized that cultivation is not a crooked, difficult thing, but on the contrary is very simple. Mr. Lin Yi said,  "It is very simple to think of the Buddha's Dharma ."

So the focus of cultivation is to hear and understand the Buddha's teachings, then practice. That is the one who knows how to cultivate. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.5/3/2019.
