XII. CHAPTER COMPREHENSIVE PRIME

1. Mr. Hien Thien Thu Bodhisattva asked the Buddha

When Mr. Hien Thien Thu, a Bodhisattva in the assembly, stood up, walked around the right side of the Buddha three times, then knelt and clasped his hands and said,

-Bt Germany, World Religion, he for us and the beings of the next generation, taught us extensively to understand the inconceivable things.

Bach The Ton:

-What is this Mahayana name?

-How can we help?

-What are the merits of being cultivated by this sutta?

***

2. Buddha praised Mr. Hien Thien Thu bodhisattva

Then the Blessed One praised Hien Thien Phu Bodhisattva and taught:

-This Thien, very good and very precious! he because of the Bodhisattvas and sentient beings, asking the Tathagata the name of the sutta and the merit of this sutta, you should listen carefully to my instructions.

THE SOLUTION

Because he wanted to let the French rains wash the beings of the next life, Hien Thien Thu Bodhisattva stood up and asked the Buddha about the maintenance and propagation of this sutta. At this stage, Buddha praised Mr. Hien Thien Thu and said that he must listen to the Buddha's teachings carefully

***

3. Buddha said this sutta

-This is Thien Nam! This sutta is not just ours, but the Buddhas of the ten directions as many as hundreds of thousands of times the number of sands of the Hang river all say this sutta. The Buddha in 3 generations are protecting this sutta. Ten directions the Bodhisattvas take refuge in this business. This sutta is the eye of the 12 scriptures. This sutta has 5 names:

1. Dai Phuong Quang Vien Giac Da La Ni Kinh

2. Tu Da La Lieu Nghia Kinh

3. The secret of the Noble Eight Sisters

4. Tathagata decides the economic world

5. Tathagata nature by nature difference

You must wholeheartedly honor this prayer.

THE SOLUTION

This sutta talks about nature "Vien Giac". People enter the nature of enlightenment nature, then become Buddha, and not enlightenment as beings.

The purpose of the Buddha was born as dod65 sentient beings into Buddha, but sentient beings have entered Vien Giac to become Buddha. Therefore, every day the Buddha was born, he said the experience of enlightenment.

Because Vien Giac experience is so precious, 1 the Tathagata in 3 generations often preserve and protect this sutta. The ten directions of bodhisattvas are taking refuge in this business, because this practice is in the nature of Vien Giac.

The Buddha's teachings are many, but in summary they are divided into 12 suttas, that is, 12 types of sutras. Every business has a target did1ch is to teach living beings to become a Buddha; If you want to become Buddha, you must enter Vien Giac. So this business "eye contact" of the 12 economic

"12 sets of sutras" - Buddha's sermon was born 40 years ago, in summary there are 3 organs: Sutta, Law, and Abhidharma; divided into 12 sets, that is, 12 types

There is a verse of 12 scriptures:

Truong Hang, Co Du and Co Khoi

For example, Nhon predestined with Theory

The duty of birth, the duty, The property

Phuong quang, Comment and farewell

This sutta has many virtues and many uses so it has many names:

a. Local Enlightenment Quang Vien Da La Ni experience

The nature of Quang Vien Phuong Vien embraces and preserves the Dharma.

"Da La Ni", Chinese translation is "General Tri": embrace and preserve the Dharma

1. Dharma Da La Ni. - Only one word, a title or a sentence, but abao covers all words, all titles and all sentences.

2. Meaning Da La Ni - As said Chon as, Duy mind, Duy consciousness, France and so on. have captured the difference.

3. Ðà La Ni

4. Uncle Da La Ni. - That is the spell. Because the practitioner focuses on the spirit of reciting the mantra, there is the power to make the practitioner realize his vow.

b. " Tu Da La Lieu Nghia ". - The word "Tu Da La", the ship translates as "Khế kinh". Thinking of this business is associated with the truths and the bases of beings.

The word "Willow": Think al ultimately good. There are two types of Buddhist sutras:

1. The willow is the Buddhist scriptures depending on the country, depending on the time and base, which means that, such as the sutras of Hinayana, the meaning is not final.

2. Willow means business is the ultimate Sutra right meaning, Buddha said the truth is not available depending on the time and so on. As the Mahayana sutras. Business "member feeling" here belongs to Willow.

c. " The Secret of Tam San ". - The word "Tam soi" means "Tam ma geography",

1. Maintenance

2. Right concentration

3. Acceptance

4. Right Thought

This sense of sorrow is higher than the dhammas, so called "king" (king).

Cryptograph. - Dharma Vien triangle triangle, only Buddha fully understood; In addition, as sentient beings at the time do not know, until the frustrating level of bodhisattva can not penetrate, so it is said to be "secret".

d. "Tathagata decides the world realm." - About this Vien Giac Vien only Tathagata has decided to enter. From frustrating feeling of Bodhisattva or less, in the certificate bridge, should not be decided yet.

e.  "Tathagata nature by nature difference ." - The word "Tathagata", meaning "Tathagata" is still in the slopes. Because the illusory hope is not far. Awareness has not been discovered. Meaning "the fruit of the Tathagata" is also hidden in the mind of beings; ie nature Vien Giac also slippery so blunt.

Letters "Self-nature": Tanh Vien depending on the coast appears the wrong law, should be called "differences".

4. Buddha said merit to recite this sutta

-This is Thien Nam! This sutta talks about the realm of the Tathagata, so only the new Buddha knows, t the Bodhisattvas and sentient beings of the next life, only follow this practice to return to the Buddha.

Hey Thien nam! This sutta called "Mahayana Mahayana". The new muscle beings may be due to this enlightenment. This sutta also conveys sentient beings to the monastic institution. Therefore, this sutra is like the sea, with no mercy on small rivers. As big as Than A Tu La and as small as a mosquito, drinking sea water is full.

Hey good boy! Suppose someone used all 7 treasures, filled with the world's great heavenly, to give alms; his merit is great, but not equal to someone hearing the name of this sutta, until he hears only one sentence, his merit more.

Hey good boy! Suppose there are teachers of sentient beings who have attained Arahant many hundred times more than the sand of the Ganges River, but not equal to someone who taught this sermon, until very little is teaching only half of the verse, one's merit much later.

Hey good boy! If someone who hears this sutta does not doubt it, then one knows that he has planted blessings not only in one Buddha's life, or in two P generations, but he has cultivated wholesome roots from Buddha's life, like the number of Ganges sands. ; so now I hear about this sutta or believe in it.

THE SOLUTION

This section has 5 parts:

1. This sutta talks about the sphere of enlightenment, so only the Buddha or fully understand, and from the Bodhisattvas and below they follow this practice.

2. This business belongs to the Mahayana, so it is very suitable for those who are Mahayana. This business also continues the basic level of Theravada shop; like the sea does not yield to the rivers. All living beings as big as A Tu La (Du mahayana) are as small as a mosquito (example of the redundant) drinking sea water, they are full.

"Felling spears". - Mr. Samantabhadra distributes the Buddhist Scriptures of Buddha into five periods:

1. Primary (Hinayana)

2. Just (Mahayana Mahayana)

3. They (Mahayana eventually)

4. Felling (Mahayana Buddhism - The word "Felling" is quick and fast)

5. Vienna (Mahayana fullness)

Mr. Thien Thai again divided into four times:

1. Organ (Theravada)

2. Information (Information to Mahayana)

3. Special (special Mahayana)

4. Vienna (Mahayana teacher)

3. The Buddha taught people to recite this sutta, the merit more precious than the alms offering of treasures. The user of the seven treasures touched all the heavenly world, giving alms to sentient beings, his merit is great, but he belongs to the blessed possession, so he only enjoys it for a while and then ends. Not equal to the person who hears this name, until only one sentence is heard, though it is few, but it has sown pure, contraband seed, sooner or later, how much fruit is unlucky, so you are more talented.

4. People who teach this sutta, merit more than teachers of countless Second row goods. Because teachers of countless witnesses of the Second Vehicle, the merit is large, but it belongs only to the Hinayana, so it is not equal to the medical person according to the willow meaning that the Mahayana says a sentence or a verse, making the enlightened sense, sooner or later he decided to become a Buddha. For example, stars are many, but not as bright as a moon.

5. The person who hears this sutta generates joy, admiration and trust, without doubt, and knows that this person has planted Mahayana seeds from many Buddha generations.

***

5. Buddha advised his disciples to protect this sutta

-This is Thien Nam! You must protect those who practice the Dharma, do not let the evil and non-pagan beings disturb the mind of the austerities, making them rotten.

THE SOLUTION

In the Dharma, they are very deviant and devious. If the guard does not protect, then the practitioner will be harmed by ghosts, then must be discouraged.

***

6. The good gods vow to protect austerities

At that time in the conference, there were eighty thousand Buddhas of God like Mr. Hoa Dau Kim Cang, Dark Thoai Kim Cang, Ni Lam Ba Kim Cang, along with their immediate followers from the standing position, walking around the right side of the Buddha three times, and respectfully bowed to Buddha and said,

-BACH World Religion! If sentient beings of the next life, whoever maintains this Mahayana sutras, we vow to protect him to keep the eyes in check; Until this ashram's place of practice, we also vowed to bring all the soldiers there, early in the afternoon to protect them, so they did not rot. In this man's house, where there is no obstacle, the sicknesses are all gone, of the rich treasures, which are often in need.

At that time, Mr. Dai Pham Vuong and 28 Thien Vuong, together with Mr. Tu Di Son Vuong and Ho Quoc Thien Vuong etc ... all stood up and walked around the right side of the Buddha three times and respectfully bowed to the Buddha and said,

-Bach Duc The! We also vow to protect the people who maintain this sutra, and it is usually safe and the mind doesn't regress.

At that time, there was the Great Demon Lord, named Cat Ba Tra and with ten thousand Demon Lords, stood up and went to the right of the Buddha three times, then bowed to the Buddha and said,

-Bach Duc The Ton! We also vow to protect the life of this sutta early, making them not regress. In the place of the tenant, within a week (10 miles) if any demons come to this realm, we will smash it like mote.

At that time, all of them were like Bodhisattvas, celestial beings, demons, relatives of the 8 sets of demons and devas, and Pharaoh etc. listen to the Buddha say this business is happy, credit and serve

THE SOLUTION

This 12th chapter is about spreading the word. Audience in the conference, from the great Bodhisattva below to them demons, listen to the Buddha say this sutta, from the 11th chapter is Vien Giac, all are extremely precious and beneficial to them. endless birth, so joyful, happy, and serve. Therefore, the gods are vowed to protect the business and thoroughly support the life of reciting this chant.

We must have cultivated wholesome roots from many previous lives, so today we are blessed to hear this sutta. wishing you every day to generate Bodhicitta and train this sutta to be popular. So we have repaid the Buddha's grace and also practiced according to the Buddha's conduct, "Self-discipline, forgiveness, and fullness." END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.11/2/2020.
