I.- CHAPTER VAN THUY

1. Mr. Manjushri asked the Buddha

At that time, the Venerable Master Li-Bo-Bodhisattva in the assembly stood up, walked around the right side of the Buddha for three rounds, then prostrated his hands and bowed straight and said, "

White Venerable Dai-bi World-Religion, ask Him for hearing-them in this present-day meeting and the beings-born bridge Mahayana, compassionately taught:

1. Re-talk the monastic-tu tu-traning of Tathagata;

2. The Bodhisattva for Mahayana, has developed a pure mind (Bodhi) already, how to leave the sick (except-hope); causing the beings-beings not to fall into evil ways (wrong view).

Mr. Van-vengeance Bodhisattva sometimes like that three times, prostrate and then return, along with the mass of sitting quietly, waiting to hear the words of Buddhism.

THE SOLUTION

The idea of ​​this paragraph is that Mr. Van-Man asked Buddha two things:

1. How did Buddha practice as a Buddha?

2. The Bodhisattva, when the Bodhisattva has already grown up, how can the hopes not be born?

The first question is the same as the one in the Shurangama Sutra, Ananda asked Buddha: "... Please teach me the method, but all the austerities are enlightened and enlightened ..." .

The second question, like the one in the Kim-Cang Sutta, Tu-Bo-De asked Buddha: "... How can we remain in Chon-mind and how to surrender to the Vong-mind ..." (Van ha yung pillar, van ha goods-restoration period).

2. The Buddha praised Mr. Van Man

Then Germany World-Ton called Him Van-Man Su-Loi Bo-slaps that taught:

-  Behold Thien-nam, very precious! He because the current Bodhisattva and all beings-born after the Mahayana Dharma request that asked:

1. Nhon-ge-austerities of Nhu-Lai;

2. When the mind-bar has been pure, how can we leave the sickness, so that we don't fall into wrong views? So listen attentively, I will because you teach.

At that time, he Van-Man Su-Loi Bo-slapped and mass-are both happy, both respectful and attentive waiting to hear the Buddha's teachings.

THE SOLUTION

The Buddha first complimented him, and then instructed him to listen attentively, because "Vien-sensory" was a pure-realm, had to focus on the mind-god to listen, could not use the mind being-killed, circulating thoughts that can be understood

3. Buddha answered for Manjushri

-This friendly-male, Tathagata has "Dai-la-ni-ni" (1) named "Vien-Giac". From this "Vien-Giac" nature, all the pure dharmas are born: Chon-as, Bodhi (Wisdom-awareness) Nirvana (tablet-president) and Ba-la-honey (Ðà-Belgium- Ngan), now I will teach it to them.

Behold Van-Man, Nhon-tu-a-tu of the Buddha, are y "Giac-Giac" this permanent but minus ignorance, is matched-throughout the bar-full-bliss, should be a Buddha .- So what is "Ignorance"?

THE SOLUTION

Mr. Van-Man asked the Buddha-tu-tu-tu how of the Buddha? - Here the new Buddha answered: All the Buddhas are "Vien-Giac" to shatter ignorance and be a Buddha. Which are: Chon-as, Bodhi, Nirvana and Bat-elegant Ba-la-honey-multi-etc ... also from this "Vien-Giac" that saved.

So want to enlightenment "Vien-feeling" first to understand. Ignorance and elimination of ignorance are the most needed.

4. Buddha only "Ignorance"

- Behold Thien-nam, all of us-born from now until now, many crazy dishes-islands make the dimness of “members-Giac”, like a lost one, confused the four directions. Crazy-island-hope-out body and mind, then mistakenly recognized the body of this four-false false body as body, accept the expectation-concept of being reborn in the shadow of the six ceiling for true mind. As the one who nibbles at the eye, sees in vain-no spotted flowers, or the second moon. In fact, nowhere-there is no flower spotted or the second moon, but because people chew the eyes expect-accept. By expectation-accept, so not only do not know the nowhere, but more delusion: True acceptance has flowers spotting birth. Because of delusion that there is birth-death reincarnation, so called "Ignorance".

THE SOLUTION

This paragraph Buddha pointed out the "Ignorance". Ignorance is the expectation-crazy-island idea obscures Tanh "Vien-Giac" (pure mind).

Because Infinite-hope appears to have a body and then we are born again accept true-self real-legal, creating countless karma, mesmerizing husband-convulsive, conceal nature Vien-Giac! That's why many lives of samsara and samsara are in the sea of ​​suffering.

Just as people who are sleepy (for ignorance) emerge, making the mind-blinding awakening (example for Vien-Giac); Therefore the scene of astrology encompassing all men and things (showing the world and living beings), and crying and laughing, and joyful and angry, each thought to be true, should be forever attached to love, from one dream to the next, from one dream to another, I don't know when I wake up.

This is an example for ignorance of husband-chatter obscuring Tanh "Vien-Giac" (Chon-mind).

5. Buddha taught "Ignorance" is not real

- Behold good-male! This "Ignorance" has no real (real thing). Like a sleeper, dreaming of sight, and when he is awake, the scene is gone; and like a man restless, the blossoms in vain do not destroy themselves. At that time, it was impossible to say, "There is a place where the flowers die."

All beings in the "not being killed" (nature Tanh-Giac) that expect to see being-killed, so new incarnation in the sea of ​​birth-death-reincarnation.

THE SOLUTION

This paragraph teaches the Buddha: All beings are still in the pure nature of Vien-Giac, not arising and not dying, but delirious themselves (ignorance) expecting to see birth-annihilation, thus eternal life , the bed is rolling in the sea of ​​birth-death reincarnation, how pitiful!

But "Ignorance" is vanity-hope, not real-life, so when enlightened, it's gone. Like the "Dark", because it is not real-body, so when "Light" comes, "Dark" will disappear. If Ignorance is a real thing, like a mountain, like a river etc ... then it's not easy to get rid of it.

Buddha billion-instance again: Ignorance-like dream, not real things, so when awakened then the scene of dream-dream lost. - Ignorance as the eyes of people are chewed, see flower-spot-gas-wandering between nowhere when the chewing is gone, the flowers immediately target.

6. Buddha taught the practice according to "Vien Giac"

- Behold Thien-nam, Nhon-ge-religious practice of As-Lai is tu Vien-Giac. Means: know the French are all illusory-illusory, like spotted flowers in the middle of nowhere, no one will bear birth-death reincarnation.

Not to sabotage, to make things go away but to say no, the very nature of the dharma itself is not. That "knows (knows) things," as well as vanity. "The know-like-nowhere", not always. But it cannot be said: "there is no known". Must eliminate all "yes" and "no", so called "depending upon nature Vien-sensory" (Vien-Giac).

THE SOLUTION

This paragraph taught the Buddha tu "Vien-Giac", there were 5 once frustrated:

1. Each of the first exasperation, is that all the French shops are illusory, like flowers spotted in the middle of nowhere. Three poisonous not being, so three career body, speech, and mind did not create businesses. Because no job, so no reincarnation and reincarnation.

2. On saying "scene known" not, to mention every second is "the mind to know" as well as nowhere.

3. To every Tuesday, is the know "the mind knows as well as nowhere" is not always.

4. Afraid of the wrong people in this world-landscape, there is no known, so every Wednesday, Buddha continued: "It is not without knowing".

5. By each Thursday, the Buddha taught to leave the expectations-accept "yes" and "no", in order to enter the members-senses.

7. Buddha and Bodhisattva cultivate according to "Vien Giac".

Why? Because in As-Lai-Tibet (Vien-Giac) there is no birth and death, no see, as damaged-no longer often, not moving, as the nature of the legal world-fullness across the borders of all ten directions.

This is called the multiplying place-austerities of As-Lai, the Bodhisattvas also multiply in this place that broadcast the bar-purity from the Mahayana. They-born after life also according to where tu-tu, new from falling into wrong.

THE SOLUTION

As-Lai-Tibet is Tanh Tathagata contains all the dharma; also called "Vien-Giac", also called "France-world-nature" (the nature of the law). It is full-blown all over the ten directions, no birth-kill nor tri-ant, as damage-not usually not moving.

Buddha taught: This is the place of practice of As-Lai. The Bodhisattvas also multiply here the mind of purity and purity. They-born after birth also have to follow this new practice from straying into the evil-directed.

Mr. Van-Thu asked 2 questions:

1. Nhon-ge-austerities of Nhu-Lai.

2. The Bodhisattva's Bodhisattva's mind follows Mahayana, how to break down the expectations? Here Buddha taught it.

8. Buddha says the verse sums up the above meanings

At that time, the Buddha, in order to summarize the above meanings, said in verse:

Van-Man! He must know:

Place-foot-religious practice

Of the Tathagata

Is to use the Vien Giac position

Destroy all ignorance:

Know the legal damage-illusory

Then from being reincarnated.

Like the dreamers,

Wake up then all dreams.

The know is no longer available

Wisdom throughout the ten directions (Vien-sense),

Equality does not move,

Immediately become Buddha.

The illusory is gone,

Being enlightened also doesn't work:

Formerly Tanh institute-complacent.

Bo-slapped y here,

Phat Center great Bodhi,

The next-born beings,

Tu from here .

THE SOLUTION

General idea of ​​this verse: The Buddha used the position of Vien-Giac, destroying ignorance. Means: Know all things are illusory, such as spotting flowers in the middle of nowhere, not being pre-infected, should not be reincarnated.

The enlightened one is just like the awakened dreamer: the scenes are no longer - The "known" scene has not, so the "known" (energy knows) does not. Because power and facility are not so Tanh Vien-enlightened enlightenment shines through all ten directions, equality without moving, as if being "a Buddha".

Saying "a Buddha" is a temporary thing only, actually it is not "a". Because the nature of "Vien-Giac" of each person is available, except for "ignorance" then "Vien-Giac" appears, so there is nothing called "city".

Just like a person who has a pearl in his pocket, it 's just because he forgot it, so he prints it out. If remember, the pearl is still available in the pocket, not new "to". Therefore should say "enlightenment also fails".

The Buddha followed this Vien-Giac to cultivate, and the Bodhisattva also follows this Vien-Giac, generating the Bodhi mind, until the next generation of beings must also follow this Vien-Giac, practice from being lost to deviant things- religion.HET=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.6/2/2020.
