General Buddhism: Course 8 - lesson 6, Chapter Thanh Tinh Hue

CHAPTER THANH THANH HUE.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

1. HE Thanh Tinh Hue Bodhisattva asked Buddha

At that time, His Holiness Pure Bodhisattva Bodhisattva in the Great Stand up, walked around the right side of the Buddha three times, then folded his hands respectfully, prostrated at the feet of the Buddha and knelt straight and said:

Bân Venerable Bi-World Religion, He was for us, cleverly speaking the unthinkable. The things that we have until now, have never seen and never heard, today thanks to the Buddha's instruction makes us understand, our body and mind rejoice, to have great benefits.

Venerable Buddha, ask him for the Bodhisattvas and all sentient beings in this conference, teach the Tathagata of the Tathagata how to give birth to the present and the next life, and listen to the Buddha's teaching. , which is enlightened, in turn depending on the nature of Enlightenment Dharma King (Buddha).

Thanh Tinh Hue asked so sometimes three times, respectfully bowed to Buddha and then returned.

THE SOLUTION

The intention of this paragraph, His Holiness Thanh Bodhisattva Bodhisattva asked Buddha: On the path of austerities, from the status of a human being to a Buddha, how many positions do he have to go through? What is the difference in the class of tu tu? The Buddha's teachings teach, making sentient beings become enlightened, in turn, enter into Vien Giac nature.

Thanh Tinh Hue is pure wisdom, that is, Bat Nha Hue. From this chapter to the following 6 chapters, the emphasis is on elaborately manual execution. While practicing any time now, you must also use the Prajna to lead; So this chapter Mr. Thanh Tinh Hue stood up and asked, typical of Bat Nha Hue.

*********

2. Buddha praised Thanh Tinh Hue Bodhisattva

At that time the Blessed One praised Thanh Tinh Hue Bodhisattva and taught,

-This is Thien Nam, very precious! He because of the current Bodhisattva and the sentient beings, asked Tathagata about the difference between the monastic and the monastic class. So you should listen attentively, I will because you teach

At that time, His Holiness, the Pure Bodhisattva Bodhisattva and the General Assembly, rejoice and respectfully obey the Buddha's teachings.

***********

3. Buddha teaches: In Vien Giac no Bodhisattva and sentient beings

-This is Thien Nam! In the nature of pure awareness, not all dhammas, but all the dhammas. It depends on the conditions to appear all, without prime and non-witness. Such as the eye, seeing all things, without seeing oneself. It remains equal without finding itself equal.

Hey Thien nam! In real generals (Vien Giac), there are no Bodhisattvas and sentient beings. Why? - Because Bodhisattvas and sentient beings are illusory. When the illusory generals are gone, there is no witness and proof.

Beings because still crazy love so should not eradicate illusory generals. Because sentient beings expect to use, to counter the illusory generals, because there are illusory people who have passed away and not gone away, they have seen a different class of proof. If the person depending on the nature of Vien Giac passed away, then no longer see the passing away and passing away.

THE SOLUTION

The intention of this paragraph Buddha said: In nature Vien Giac capital does not have all the law, but depending on predestined appear all the other legal errors. This passage is similar to the passage in the Shurangama Sutra. Buddha for example a lute tree, in the lunar tree does not have good and unraveling; But depending on predestined it appeared all the good and bad.

In Vien Giac nature there is no energy, defense and energy evidence, no Bodhisattva and sentient beings. Because sentient beings can not eliminate the illusory generals, they should start using them to eliminate these illusory generals. Because of that, there is evidence and there are advantages and differences in class. If depending on the nature of Vien passed away of Tathagata then, there is no longer any method at all.

In this paragraph there is an example: "As the eye cannot see the eye itself" - This example shows the equality and uselessness of Vien Giac. Tanh Vien Giac arbitrary appearance of France that is not defensive, not evidence. Just as the eye of equality shines on all things, but does not see itself as being illuminated and equal.

4. depending on the nature of Phu Vien Vien Giac (status of the 10 members)

-This is Thien Nam! All sentient beings from beginningless time to now, due to the mistaken belief that there is "our true self and our own things", has borne a love for the self and our things, so when we encounter adversity, we hate, and if we are craving, passion according to the five scenes. They never knew that this body and mind was vain, each thought of being eradicated always, not really us.

If met with friendly knowledge and knowledge of teaching, they are enlightened to the pure Vien Giac nature, understand that this mind is nowhere to be recollected, each thought of being eradicated doesn't have self; then they can confirm themselves: this body and mind is "bare labor expectation".

Those who are able to eradicate these burdens of perpetual eternity are enlightened to the pure precepts, but for Vien Giac nature not yet liberated, because there is still an obstacle of "knowing purity", people like the so-called ordinary people depending upon nature Vien Giac.

THE SOLUTION

Selecting on (number 3) is standing on the nature of Vien Giac pure equality that said, should not have Bodhisattvas and sentient beings different. But on the aspect of general practice that the thesis has a clear evidence of lang tu. Therefore, from this paragraph (No. 4) later, we will talk about how to enter Vien Giac, starting with the Ten Tin, Tam Hien, The Holy Cross, and the Buddhahood.

The intention of this paragraph, said every line of Tin Tin hanh Vien Giac nature - Because all sentient beings from beginningless time to delusion due to us and our scenes are true, so being born greed, hatred and so on. If met with the knowledge of good knowledge, they are enlightened to have the "I" and "our scenes" are vain, birth and death are not real, then at that time they can eliminate the ego, regular borderline purity. But, because there is still "pure knowledge", so is the law is not deducted, so there are obstacles to Tanh Vien awareness. Therefore, they should be called "them Phàm phu (the 10 followers) depend on Vien Giac".

***********

5. Bodhisattva in Tam Hien, depending upon nature Vien Giac

Hey Thien nam! All of the Bodhisattvas, because they still accept the "knowing purity" (awareness), should obstruct the nature of awareness. Now although the obstacle is that (the pure knowing) but still in the "sense". So also stubbornly in the place of "feeling", so nature Vien Giac still obstacles, not being free. Therefore should be called Tam sage bodhisattva, depending upon nature Vien Giac.

THE SOLUTION

These bodhisattvas, though able to leave the "pure knowing", but also the "know awareness". Because there is a "knowing" as obstacles, Tanh Vien awareness is not manifested. An outline of this paragraph says: Sage tam Bodhisattva depending upon nature Giac Vien Giac, Tam sage is: Cross head, Cross conduct and Cross return.

6. Bodhisattvas up saints, depending upon the nature of the senses

Hey Thien nam! If there is "knowing" (projection) and also "feeling", then there are obstacles (because there is energy and facility)

-So Bodhisattva is often "sensory" but not based on "sensory", solar projection and quiet projection. Bodhisattva self-guarded obstacles to eliminate obstacles (expectation kill expectations), when the obstacles kill off, there are no more people to kill. For example, there are people who cut off their own heads, when the head has fallen off, then there are no people to cut off.

Hey good boy! All of Tathagata's teachings are like gnoán hand to indicate the Vien Vien moon (chon). So you must know: this is a religious finger and not a Vien Vien moon. If you only persist in your fingers, the moon will never be seen. Those who know with this Buddhist finger, and receive the Vien Vien moon, are called Bodhisattvas to the holy land, depending on the nature of Vien Giac.

THE SOLUTION

The passage says that the Bodhisattva in Tam Hien still "knows" and also "senses". To this paragraph said: Bodhisattva went to the holy place, though often "sensory" but not before the "sensory", because no longer power and facility. Just as people cut off their own heads when the head has fallen, there are no people cut and those who are cut off.

All the Buddhist sutras are the means for the truth (enlightenment). Practitioners must rely on the means to come to truth; If obstinate where the vehicle never comes to truth

The teachings of Buddha are like fingers pointing to the moon. People who want to see the moon must see with their fingers, when they see the moon (truth) and must forget their fingers (means). If stubbornly on his finger (means) he will never see the moon of truth.

This example is like in the Shurangama Sutra, Buddha for example "fingers pointing to the moon and so on."

7. Tathagata depending upon nature Vien Giac

-This is Thien Nam! All obstacles ie saving glass sight, mindfulness or mindfulness are liberation, morality, or breaking the precepts are Nirvana; wisdom or ignorance are also Bat elegant; Bodhisattva and heathen are Bodhi; Ignorance and chon like a realm; gender, concentration, wisdom and lust, anger (anger) si are pure conduct; Beings and nationality have a dharma nature; hell and heaven both do Pure Land; charming and inadvertently become Buddhism; all defilements are ultimately liberated, because the Dharma of the Dharma world shines on both generals and emptiness. This is called Tathagata depending upon nature Vien Giac.

THE SOLUTION

The above paragraphs have said: from the Decimal, the "Net Know" is disturbed; through the Tam Hien, again being "aware" is afraid; to the Holy Cross, but has left all the obstacles, flinch and the "common sense" has not been used.

This paragraph is about Buddhahood, having completely entered Vien awareness, seeing all dharmas as one being, so saying: "obstacles that are to save sutta, mindfulness and wrong thoughts are liberation and defilements" sarnsara means Bodhi, Nirvana, wisdom, ignorance are all bowls of elegance, etc. ”

Therefore, the Ancient God taught, "Love the feet of Chon as a delusion, a delusion of delusion, a Chon like".

8. In short

-This is good man! The Bodhisattvas and sentient beings, only in all their time, do not initiate the concept of discrimination, with regard to the mind-consciousness which will not be eradicated, in the delusion scene, without further distinction, in the unknown scene. know, no need to distinguish truth, when listening to this method, not to be surprised and terrified, to generate confidence, clear understanding, to receive and to serve, we call this being Depending upon nature Vien Giac.

-This is good man! You must know. Such dependent beings, who have been many spiritual practitioners, have cultivated a lot of merit: "Offering the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas as much as the sand of the Ganges River. We seal for these people to achieve "the best in the world" (Buddha mind).

THE SOLUTION

This passage the Buddha taught in essence there is a saying: "only in all the time, do not initiate recitation, etc." That is depending upon nature Vien Giac ”. What it means is: if in all the times that hope does not arise, then greed, hatred and ignorance are not born; 3 poisonous no birth then no career will create, no career will no longer create birth and death; Samsara has no chon the existing mind, so is depending upon nature Vien Giac. For example, a cup of cloudy water on the table, if in all the hours are quiet, not wavering, then the nature of water appears.

This passage is like in the Shurangama Sutra taught by the Buddha: "It is not possible to discriminate" (not according to the ceiling of the beginning of the thought of discrimination). What a quick practice (a member), if not many lifetimes, who have cultivated wholesome roots from Buddha's life, cannot receive this dharma.

In summary, the Buddha taught: If the Bodhisattvas and sentient beings of the next life, only in all times do not start up thoughts, nor do they need to eradicate mindfulness and so forth. those beings who practice like that are their wholesome roots planted from many Buddhas, and they have attained the Nature of Enlightenment and will attain Buddhahood.

Thanh Tinh Hue asked the tu tu class of Tathagata, Buddha came here to finish.

9. Buddha says verse in summary

Then Germany World Religion, want to summarize the above, should say that:

Thanh Tinh Hue! must know:

Consummation Tanh Bodhi

No more defenses and evidence,

No bodhisattvas, beings.

Cupping and not yet enlightened

The class is different:

Beings are "aware" of fear (Ten Credits)

Bodhisattva is "feeling" afraid (Tam Hien)

The Holy Sanctuary is silent (The Holy Cross)

Because he doesn't stay in the champions,

Fullness of results, Enlightenment,

Should call "all depending upon" (Buddha)

The next beings,

The mind is not born of disappointment,

I say this being,

Life is a Bodhisattva

Because making offerings to the Buddhas,

Merit has been fulfilled

Although there are many means,

Also depending upon Giac.

THE SOLUTION

General idea of ​​this verse Buddha taught: Tanh Vien Giac has no prime and proof, no Bodhisattva and sentient beings. But about the class of austerities, there is a distinction among believers, sages, saints, and Buddhas. If any sentient being does not expect delusion, is the Bodhisattva present, because this sentient being has cultivated merit from the Buddhas.

Although there are many dharma disciplines and there is a false sense of class in the class, c is also about Vien Giac nature.

In this chapter of Purification, he asks what kind of enlightenment is? Buddha answered there are two parts:

1. Standing on the nature of enlightenment Vien said, there is no bodhisattva and sentient beings, no defense and no witness.

2. Regarding the general practice, there is a different class. As for believers, the "know" (fake "is afraid; in Hien, the" awareness "is also hindered; to the Saints, though passed away, has not yet been fulfilled.

In summary, the Buddha taught a saying, "If the person, for all the time, does not initiate recitation, it is up to Vien Giac". END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.6/2/2020.
