Buddha in real life .VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

Since childhood, no one of us has not heard his mother tell a magical fairy tale when he was a child. At night, he saw the gentle Buddha coming from his dream.

Childhood passes, growing up we integrate with life, thinking that Mr. Buddha in the fairy tale of Tam Cam, the story of Man Bom, the story of a hundred-day bamboo burning disappears ...

Since childhood, no one of us has not heard his mother tell a magical fairy tale when he was a child. At night, he saw the gentle Buddha coming from his dream.

Not really, Mr. Buddha still appears in real life in human relationships. You still meet and approach gentle people like the Buddha, as wise as the Buddha, as brave as the Buddha, generally full of compassion, bravery, and long-lasting Buddha nature. And yet, where to go, whether it is difficult or not, you are reminded of the need to have "kindness", "Buddha mind"! It seems that "good mind", "Buddha mind", "Buddha mind" are just one, as long as the Buddha is in your heart, you will be able to live a life and settle in your life without being dominated by the flow of life. The following story will prove to us that the Taoist rank is always beside each person.

At one time  Buddha  stayed overnight in a pottery factory. Here comes a young monk before Him. After observing and seeing that he is a smart person, Buddha asked: - Hey brother, on whose behalf do you renounce your family? Who is your teacher? Whose religion do you admire?

He himself often declared that before he had Buddhas, right now in this life he was a Buddha, and in the future he will have Buddhas.

- Dear friends, there is Duc Co Dam, the Sakyamuni lineage has become a monk. People say he is an enlightened being, fully liberated. In my name, I became a monk. He is my Teacher.

- Where is he now?

- He is in Savatthi, a country in the North.

- Have you met him? Do you recognize Him when you see Him?

- I have never met him and would not recognize him if I saw him. The Buddha understood that by knowing his reputation, this young man had become a monk. Without revealing His identity, He said:

- Hey brother, I will teach you.

- Very good, friends!

The Buddha then  gave the young monk an important discourse on the intrinsic nature of the so-called me and mine by analyzing the elements of the universe and the human body of the five aggregates, in order to disrupt clinging to the bliss of Nirvana.

Buddha is a human being, thanks to elaborate practice, he became enlightened in the middle of this life. It is his intellectual merit that directs Him to everyone, to all people to Him as a common sense from the pure nature of constant awareness.

Near the end of the discourse, after listening to the content of the discourse, the young disciple Pukkusati realized that the one who was speaking was Buddha. At that time, the young monk stood up and prostrated himself to the Daoist rank and apologized for missing his call to be friends. Finally, the young monk asked the Buddha to take refuge and join the Buddha's Congregation.

Thereby we see Buddha as a human being, through elaborate practice, he became enlightened in the middle of this life. It is his intellectual merit that directs Him to everyone, to all people to Him as a common sense from the pure nature of constant awareness. He himself often declared that before he had Buddhas, right now in this life he was a Buddha, and in the future he will have Buddhas. So, you have to establish beliefs around us, the Buddha always exists beside himself. He is the embodiment of the human being, the enlightened human being, the Buddha. We are also human, if we know how to practice our mind and transform our minds, we will definitely become enlightened people like Buddha. Meditate on the Brahmin Dona story with the Buddha, you will penetrate the  Buddha very close to us.

It seems that you must really return to your own life by following Buddha, following the Dharma, following the Sangha. Following the Buddha, you follow the Buddha nature that is inherent in your being.

He is not a fairy, a wandering woman, a yaksha, or from another species alien to man:

- "White World Religion, will he be a fairy, he will be a woman, he will be yaksha, he will be man. With these four questions, the Buddha answered in turn: "I will not be a fairy, I will not be a thief, I will not be a yaksha, I will not be him." This answer is enough to prove the greatness of the enlightened person, enough to free the impasse from the long narrow mind of man. Because if he responded, "I will be the gods ..., or I will be human", the Buddha must still be reborn and be reborn by samsara. Therefore, Brahmin continued to ask, "So what is your business, and what will the venerable Buddha be?" The Buddha declared himself sincerely as follows:

Hey, Brahmin, for those who have not finished the illegal or, We can be the gods, with the illegal or have finished, cut off from the roots, made into Tala tree, made to not show property, is made can not arise in the future. Brahmin, for those who have not finished with the illegal, or, We can be Can her, I can be the Human race, with the illegal or has ended, cut off from the roots, made into like the Tala tree, made to not exist, made to not arise in the future.

As long as you spread your belly, dredge up your heart to live with everyone around you with countless loving-kindness, immeasurable compassion, infinite joy, endless discharge, then day and night, Buddha will see you by your side.

Here, the  Buddha  affirms that according to the mind of sentient beings, he incarnates. The difference between him and other beings is that he has done something about it. For the gods have not stopped smuggling or, the Buddha is the gods have stopped smuggling either. This is the basis of faith for us to be close to the Dao Master to study the dharma, practice and enlightenment like Him. The question for us is to live in real life how to practice the path of practice in accordance with the Dharma. In this way, the Buddha is in the heart of every new person in the middle of his life, in his dear home or in the alley, on the roads from the city to the far away countryside.

It seems that you must really return to your own life by following Buddha, following the Dharma, following the Sangha. Following the Buddha, you follow the Buddha nature that is inherent in your being. Only like that, you will have an audience, pay your respects, be close and above all live with the Buddha right in your heart in a turbulent stream of life. Then all the prayers for illusions, distant desires have no meaning when you accept the prayer before the throne of the Three Jewels.

Living with Buddha, eating Buddha's rice, staying at Buddha's house is so simple, so easy.

"If someone does ten evil deeds, then the masses come to beg, praying and praying that he will be born of good, good, and such prayers are in vain, because he does ten non-virtue will be born in hell, fall to the land, when prayers are not fulfilled. If, for example, a person engulfs an oil slurry into a lake and cracks it, the time will rise on the surface of the water. Even though a large crowd came to pray and pleaded with their hands that the oil should sink to the bottom of the water, that plea of ​​course did not work, and that oil still floated to the surface of the water. Therefore, there is no benefit to pleading and praying. ”

At this point, you have revealed the person of  Buddha . Buddha is not far away, Buddha exists right in his heart. Living with Buddha, eating Buddha's rice, staying at Buddha's house is so simple, so easy. As long as you spread your belly, dredge up your heart to live with everyone around you with countless loving-kindness, immeasurable compassion, infinite joy, endless discharge, then day and night, Buddha will see you by your side. Being so, Buddha was born in every person every hour, every minute through the eyes, a smile filled with the belief of happiness and peace. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.15/3/2020.
