Buddha day: "Tu Bodhi! If someone takes his own life, as much as the sand of the Ganges River to alms, he or she is very blessed." But if someone has maintained or taught this sutta, whole book or half volume, until at least four verses, then this one is more blessed than the one before. ”
THE SOLUTION
This sutta is very valuable and of great benefit, so the Buddha repeatedly praised the merit, advised him to maintain it, and taught him. Five times ago to talk about merit of this sutta.
The previous paragraph (19) said, the foreign user is 7 treasures, as much as the river sand constantly giving alms, blessings of this person but many, but not equal to the person who maintains and teaches the Kim Cang Bat Nha Phuoc back more.
This paragraph said, who brought the body of his body to alms; just giving one body of merit has few and few people can do, let alone giving one's life as much as the number of sand of the Ganges, how much merit is!
But if a person recites or teaches this sutta from one book or a half to at least four verses, this person is more blessed than the previous one.
Alms and lives, although few people can do it, but merit is still within the compound and the smuggled. Those who recite or recite this sutras, they and they will be enlightened "Kim Cang Bat Nha" and will become a Buddha; and then turned back to the multitude of sentient beings, so this person's merit, belonging to a multitude of contraband, is much higher than the previous one.
Talking about the merit and virtue of this prayer,
The Great Master Tri Jia did a poem:

GENERAL ITALIAN POST
Counting the Ganges alone does not go away, let alone count the sand in countless Ganges. He brought as many treasures of sand in countless Ganges to alms, but many merits, but belong to vi.
Not equal to the person who maintains or teaches this sutta about four sentences, there is more merit than the previous one.
***
After seeing Buddha many times graciously, reminded and advised, Mr. Tu Bodhi understood the profound meaning of this sutta, so at that time, he was moved with sadness and tears! ...
Mr. Tu Bodhi said, "White World Religion! Although I have long Hue Hue, but I have heard the Buddha said classics, the sublime, magical meaning, precious like this! ”.
THE SOLUTION
Every time we get emotional for something too strong, or sad or happy, we have tears. Tu Bodhi, seeing that Buddha had repeatedly graciously reminded him to maintain and advise the sublime profound meanings of this sutta, which he has never heard before, is moved to tears.
***
Mr. Tu Bodhi said to the Buddha: "White World Religion! If someone hears this sutta and produces pure faith and realizes enlightenment (Tanh Bat Nha), that person will achieve the first rare merit.
Bach The Ton! Tathagata said "true minister" means not "true general", just temporarily called "real general".
THE SOLUTION
This paragraph Mr. Tu Bo De said: if the audience heard that this enlightenment was "true General Bat Nha", then he would have a rare merit. And he broke the "real minister" attachment.
People who have a gift (according to the Duy Duy learning method called seeds) music, listen to music to know it. People who have the gift of poetry and listening to the test know how to like it. Also, people c1 the gift or seed of Bat Nha, when listening to the Bat Nha sutras, they can believe and enter into "Really General Bat Nha". Therefore, this person has immeasurable merit.
Just talking about "real generals", Mr. Tu Bo De was afraid of people accepting "real generals", so he immediately broke that attachment by teaching the Buddha: "Tathagata tells the truth, that is, not the real general, just temporarily call it real minister. "
PRIZE WORDS
THE PRIME MINISTER. Buddha said: "Everybody possesses a visionary delinquent."
Then the formless is the true. Kinh records: "General form, General Prime Minister's real name", (the general without the new form is called the true General) .
Based on this explanation, the "real minister" is no longer the general expectations and expectations, ie "Bat Nha Chon not".
***
Mr. Tu Bodhi replied: "White World Religion! Now I hear this sutta, understand it, believe it, and receive it, and it is not difficult. When the Tathagata passed away, 500 years later, if someone heard this sutta, understood, believed and maintained, then that person is rare!
Why so? Because this person no longer accepts the four generals: falling, multiplication, beings and false life.
Bach World Ton! Say four generals, not really four generals, just call the four generals as falling, multiplication, beings and false life. Why is that? _ Because of the separation of all the generals, it is called the Buddhas ”.
THE SOLUTION
This paragraph continues with the above paragraph, saying the person with the seeds of Wisdom of Bat Nha, breaking four generals, believes and understands this sutta.
When Buddha was still in the world, beings of Mahayana nature abound, so listening to this sutta understands and believes it is not difficult. By the time of the Buddha's passing away, beings of Mahayana nature are few, so listening to and understanding this sutta is very difficult. Because the listener must no longer accept the four generals: self, compassion, beings and false feelings, in order to understand this Kim Cang Bat Nha sutta.
Referring to the four generals, Mr. Tu Bo De was afraid that the real acceptors would have four generals, so he immediately said, "Say four generals.
Concluding, he said, "It is necessary to leave all the attachments, the general views, and enter the state of Kim Cang Bat Nha, called Buddhas."
***
Mr. Gao Zen master, enlightened to the sentence: "Leave all expectations, new Buddhas", should have done two chanting that:
Verbatim (translation)
Body and mind pure
Buddha's name appears
Body and mind impure
The name of Buddha is extinguished
That is, the mind of Buddha is immeasurable
Maze foreign mind many false mind
Nhut recitation of the natural patronage
Complete as the first boat bleaching
Translate:
Body, speech and purity
That is Buddha coming out.
Body and speech impure
That was Buddha's passing away.
That is the mind, Buddha at the heart
Those who love roaming, foreign mind
Nhut reciting enlightenment to the Buddha

TWO ITALY TWITTER
Three career: Body, mouth and mind are pure, that is the Buddha. On the contrary, the three karma are not pure ie Buddha passed away. Buddha's mind, Buddha's mind. People who are ignorant do not know. If in the mindfulness of enlightenment, the mind becomes enlightened; It's very easy, like a person washing their feet and stepping on a boat.
Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! Exactly. If someone listens to this sutta without doubt or fear, this person is very rare. ”
THE SOLUTION
This paragraph continues with the two paragraphs above, Buddha confirms the words of Mr. Tu Bo De are right: People with seeds Kim Cang Bat Nha, not accept the generals to understand and believe this business
***
Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! Tathagata said Bat Nha is the first of the three, not Bat Nha is the first of the three, so it is true that Bat Nha is the first of the three.
THE SOLUTION
This paragraph the Buddha broke the accept "Bat Nha is the first Dharma." This is the second time, Buddha broke the accept of Prajnaparamita (the first in paragraph 22).
Of the six measures of Six Dhammas, that is, the six paramitas, the Wisdom of Bat Nha is all-encompassing, so Buddha said, "Bat Nha is the first of the three Paramitas."
But, if a person still accepts us to "Bat Nha is the first of the three Paramitas" (the dharma), it is not true that "the Bat Nha is the first of the three Parameters," because there is still attachment (legal knowledge) to accept the law ( Paramita). Therefore, the Buddha continued to teach, "No longer see (accept) yourself that Bat Nha is the first of the Paramita, then it is true that the Bat Nha is the first of the Paramitas."
PRIZE WORDS
Bat Nha: (previously solved, business title)
Paramita: (solved before, business title)
***
Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! Tathagata said the people of patience and patience (ultimately) without seeing themselves be patient, and that is the true patience of the Brahmins. "
THE SOLUTION
This paragraph the Buddha broke the attachment "The practitioner of patience, compassion and wisdom, but also accept us to be patient."
If the practitioner practices the ultimate patience (Paramita) but he also accepts the practice of the ultimate patience, of course, the practitioner also accepts the (humiliating) attachment (self-humiliation), which is not patience. ultimately. Practitioners have to leave all expectations: multiply, fall, belgium, try etc. ... enter Kim Cang Bat Nha, and practice patience, then that patience is completely new, called patience.
***
Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! In the past, I have made the Benevolent and compassionate Patient up to 500 generations. Ca Loi King mutilated the body, but I have no anger; Because we no longer accept the four generals: self, compassion, sentient beings and false feelings. "
THE SOLUTION
This paragraph follows the preceding paragraph (32) about the practice of patience and patience. Want to explain clearly: what is the "ultimate patience" (patience Ba La secret), the Buddha cited the typical evidence, is the precursor He made the first person tu tu tu tu patience. Ca Loi King shredded his body to pieces, but He did not anger. Because he no longer accepts the four generals: fall, multiplication, etc., so he has the last patience (patience).
Books written, one day King Ca Loi led a beautiful lady up to the mountain to feast. After a feast of drunken feast, the king lay down, the concubines stole the mountain.
Crossing another hill, seeing a fairy sitting and cultivating under a tree of great life, the concubines invited each other to worship.
After waking up, he could not see the concubine, and the king immediately sought. Arriving at a hill, seeing the concubines sitting around asking the Taoist monk under an old tree, the king angrily asked:
Who are you to seduce my beautiful lady?
I am Tien Nhon tu tu last patience finally.
Really?
Indeed, I practice the ultimate patience (Paramita). The king immediately drew his sword, cut his nose, licked his ears, cut off his hands, etc.
After the anger, the king regretted and asked:
Perhaps because of the power of the King, Tien was forbidden and could not resist, but how could he not be sad in his heart?
Tien swore that: If I had not lost the ultimate patience, I still felt a bit of anger in my heart, so I always died with limbs; on the contrary, if I really cultivate patience endlessly, the mind is not angry then my limbs will be cut off, all will be restored to the way it was.
Tien Nhon's oath had just ended, and his nose, ears, and body returned to his former condition. The King fully repented of his sins and petitioned Tien in forgiveness
Tien Nhon did not resent, but also vowed: "After the enlightenment, I will save people first."
***
Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! Bodhisattva emits the mind of Bodhi and must leave all the acceptors. Bodhisattva should not be mindful of abiding in the place of Tran, Tran, Tran Huong, Tran, Tran Tran, and Tran Tran, etc.
In short, the Bodhisattva does not expect the mind to dwell anywhere. If the new Bodhisattva still dwells somewhere, it is not true.
THE SOLUTION
This is the second time (the first in paragraph 17), the Buddha taught the Bodhisattvas not to expect the mind to dwell somewhere.
Bodhi mind is the mind of Buddha (see paragraph 2). The Bodhisattva develops the Bodhi mind, and must be separated from all ignorance of attachment: No grasping of attachment, multiplication of love, acceptance of beings, false feeling, non-grasping of six faculties, six senses and six consciousness, etc. , accept the law.
When the expectations accept all, then the Bodhi mind or Tanh Bat Nha etc ... appears. It is "The goods of disappointment and restlessness in the mind".
If the mind still has an abiding position, that is, the mind is still in agitation; while the mind is still active, the head is crazy, not at the feet or the Bat Nha. That's why the Buddha taught, "If the Bodhisattva's mind still dwells somewhere, it is not true to remain seated.
His Holiness the Zen master made a lecture, talking about not abiding in places of beauty, silence, incense, etc.

GENERAL ITALIAN POST
While the six senses come into contact with the six mundane scenes, without committing discrimination, enchanting defilements (pillars) in the mundane scene, the practitioner will be able to enter the Buddha realm (into the dharma king).
***
Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! Bodhisattva when giving alms or doing benefits for all beings, should not be mindful of abiding by generals (one's giving, one's giving, giving)
Tu Bodhi! Tathagata said the generals are not real (the dharma) just call the generals. Tathagata said beings, not real beings, just call them ".
THE SOLUTION
This is the second time (the first time on paragraph 4), the Buddha taught Bodhisattvas to give alms or to do things for the benefit of sentient beings, should not accept the general (see paragraph 4 before).
Practitioners when benefiting beings, but the mind still abides by the generals, that is, they still find themselves giving, the life of giving, and the giving of things, of course the practitioner also accepts the self (self, person) of the dharma (object) alms), then the practitioner is only blessed smuggled property, so it is not alms Ba La (alms ultimately).
Because of this, the Buddha taught that Bodhisattvas, when giving alms or benefiting sentient beings, must enter Kim Cang Bat Nha to do; meaning there is no clinging to the generals: self, compassion, sentient beings, false life is blessed with immeasurable contraband. Such alms, must be alms Ba la honey (alms ultimately).
The previous paragraph is about patience, this paragraph is about giving. To help Buddhists understand and practice, what is "ultimate patience" and what is the "ultimate giving", we would like to add an example as follows.
Practitioners want to be Patient, Brahmin, or giving to Brahman, they must contemplate sentient beings and their bodies, so that we do not have alms and sentient beings or humiliators and that we are humiliated.
For example, the right hand with the left hand, seeing the same body, so when the right hand accidentally hurt the hand position, (nailed the left hand), the left hand is not angry. Because the left hand perceives itself as one with the same face, the left hand does not see the face humiliated and humiliated. Such patience is the last patience (patience of the Paramitas).
On the other hand, his face took care of a cotton ball and bandage to cover his left arm, but he was not arrogant, because his face and hands recognized themselves with the left hand of the same body, so he could not see himself as the giver. grace and the left hand is blessed. Alms like that, is the last alms (Alms Bell).
***
Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! Tathagata told the truth, said chon Chanh, did not lie, did not say otherwise. Tathagata has acquired the dharma, but that dharma is not really unbreakable ”.
THE SOLUTION
By the time of Bat Nha, Buddha destroyed the long attachments of sentient beings, so that the sentient beings could advance to a higher level. Therefore, the theoretical part as well as the spiritual part of the Bat Nha Sutta period are much more strange than other Dharma discourses.
Afraid of beings suspecting that the Buddha's words were untrue, when saying this, when saying otherwise, thya changed, the Buddha called Tu Bodhi to teach him: say otherwise ”.
Tathagata is directed to Bodhi, but if this Bodhisattva's practice is naughty or true, it is not Bodhi. That's why the Buddha taught, "Tathagata has the dharma, but that dharma is not really unbreakable."
***
Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! If the Bodhisattva gives alms but the mind still dwells on the dharma of almsgiving, then like a person entering a dark house, he doesn't see anything. On the contrary, if the Bodhisattva makes alms and the mind does not abide in the dharma of almsgiving, then like a person with clear eyes, thanks to the light of the enlightened face, he can see all things. "
THE SOLUTION
This is the third time (the first and second in paragraphs 4 and 35), Buddha taught Bodhisattva alms should not accept generosity.
The almsgiver, if he still accepts the general, means that he still sees me as a giver, the other is the gracious, that is alms, the cloud of ignorance falls, obscuring the wisdom of Bat Nha, so for example : "Like the one who came into the house and saw nothing at night".
On the contrary, if almsgiving does not accept generals, it is called "three cycles of morality"; meaning not seeing yourself giving, (giving) the person giving life (feeling favored) and the material giving (see giving hand with left hand in paragraph 35), the cloud of ignorance falls, everything is gone, so the sun Tri Bat Nha Hue appears, illuminating all the dharma. That is why Buddha said, "As a person with clear eyes, again, thanks to the light of the shining face, can see everything."
