At that time, the Venerable Bodhisattva in the assembly stood up and walked around the right side of the Buddha three times, then bowed to the Buddha and knelt straight and said:

-Bach virtue of compassion, World Religion, just then He taught the three disciplines of spiritual practice like that, very rare.

But the Bodhisattvas, when they want to enter Vien Giac, for these three methods of means, how many practices are there?

Bowing to the Blessed One, because both the present masses and the sentient beings of the next life, the means of opening, make us enlightenment to the true feet (enlightenment).

Such a request 3 times, then Mr. Bian Yin respectfully bowed to Buddha and returned.

And "Only, Quan song tu"

BA France, Feces, Salon

It turned out to be twenty-five

Ten directions of Tathagata

And practitioners three generations

This subject is subject to medical practice

But to become Bodhi

Except for the fools

And unbelievers

Not following this method

And all the bodhisattvas

And sentient beings later

Must be like a monk

Thanks to the Buddha's compassion

How he works diligently

Will quickly nirvana.

THE SOLUTION

The intention of this verse says: The pure and unobtrusive wisdom of the Bodhisattvas is born of Zen. Meditation is Chi, Quan and Only Quan song tu. Because according to the basis of practitioners have cut and not copper, so the three are divided into 25 measures.

Except for the unpleasant emotions and those who do not believe, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and sentient beings of the next generation all follow these dharma methods and become Bodhi.

So the practitioner should follow, diligently practice and thanks to the compassion of the Buddha, will quickly witness Nirvana. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.9/2/2020.
