Buddha asked, "Tu Bodhi! Can you show that my form is to see the Tathagata? ”.
Tu Bodhi replied, "White World Religion! cannot show that his form is to see the Tathagata. Why? _ Because Tathagata said: "This form, not really the form of Tathagata".
Buddha continued: "Tu Bodhi! Everything that has form is delusion. If he sees the dhammas (generals) are hopeless, not real (non-generals) means seeing the Tathagata (real dhammas).
THE SOLUTION
In this section, the Buddha used the wisdom of Bat Nha to destroy the attachment: "Seeing the body of Buddha is seeing Buddha". This is the first time, talking about seeing Buddha.
On the way to practice, there must be enough Su and Li. It is through the external appearance that enlightenment can be realized within; There is enlightenment inside, to see the General outside.
The people who accepted Su leave Su, as well as those who just mentioned a lot of good food, but still hungry. Lustful people love leaving Li, as children love drawing cakes.
Thanks to the fake remains, paper sutras, Buddhist monks, etc., are external faculties, to help us recall the Buddha's Dharma, the Dharma and the Sangha in our own hearts.
If we reject the outer appearance which is false (not worshiping the Buddha, chanting, etc.) but only accept the inner nature (Buddha's mind), then the Buddha in our mind cannot show it. .
The Father taught:
“Actual geography, real life
Buddha wanted to be loyal, any legal discharge discharge ”.
Means: For Buddha's mind to be pure, there is not a single bounce. But for the general practice, it is impossible to ignore any dharma.
On the contrary, if we accept the General (praying to the Buddha outside) without looking for the true Buddha in our own mind, we will never see Buddha. That's why the Buddha taught:
"If the person who accepts:" seeing my body thinks that we can see the Buddha, listening to our Dharma voice says that we can hear the Buddha language ", then he has strayed back into the wrong way, never sees the Buddha".
(KINH KIM CANG)
In the past there were two monks, from afar to worship Buddha. Going all the way out of the water, having been thirsty for a long time, having just met a pond with organisms, a monk who did not drink should die in the middle of the road; one who drinks the water lives and goes to Buddha's eyes.
Buddha rebuked, saying, "Bhikkhu, while the other precept dies, but he is still alive and has seen me." But he did not keep the precepts but live, close to me, but actually he died and thousands of miles away from us. "
Why, the monk who kept the precepts dying in the middle of the road did not see Buddha, and the Buddha said that "he has seen me"; on the contrary, the monk who does not keep the precepts still living with the Buddha sees Buddha, but the Buddha considers it "a thousand miles away from Buddha".
Said that seeing the body has 32 good generals and 80 external beauty of Buddha, not yet a Buddha; you must see "Buddha pure mind" or "dharmakaya Buddha" to truly see Buddha.
However, the majority of sentient beings run after the prime minister, seeking wisdom outside, without turning around to find the true Buddha in their hearts. Therefore, she rebuked: "Buddha in the church does not worship, but worship Buddha Shakyamuni in the street" is like that.
Because of breaking this delusion, To Don Ha burned a wooden Buddha (fake Buddha) . Someone asked him, "Burn for what?". He answered: "Burn to find far away" (seek true Buddha). The temple owner found it terribly afraid, so he lost all his beards; because canceling Buddhist scriptures is a very serious sin.
Because of this event, there was a poem:
Verbatim (translation)
Don Ha burned wood
The abbey owner
The longest special period
People are humble
Translate:
To Ha Ha burned wood Buddha
His lord shed hospital beard
A very special case
In the world, few people know.
The focus of this paragraph is the two words "see Buddha". Buddha asked: "Can you show that our form is to see the Tathagata?" _ He Bodhi replied: "It is impossible to show the form of Buddha to see Buddha."
Buddha continued: "Everything that has a general appearance is vain hope", (a mortal possesses a visionary delusion) . The Buddha's body, created by the four great pundits, has the appearance of a figure and is also a delusion. So should see the identity of the Buddha, not yet the Buddha.
So then what can we see to see Buddha?
Buddha continued: "If you see the dhammas (signs) are vanity, that is, you can see the Tathagata (truths) .
His Excellency the Dharma Master said:
This paragraph not only says that the Buddha's identity is vain, but all appearances, such as the world of beings, etc., are also vain, like flowers in a mirror, like a moon under water, without truth. If the person who comprehends the generals is so hopeless, it means that he has seen the "dharmakaya of Tathagata", which means that he can see the "true generals of the dharma", which is also the "supreme wisdom", and also "Kim Cang Bat Nha marvelous mind".
(KIM BRING FAIR)
In summary, this passage, the Buddha uses the wisdom of Kim Cang Bat Nha, breaking down the accept: "Seeing the body has 32 good generals, and 80 external beauty of the Buddha, and accept is seeing Buddha", but forgot to rotate Back, find the Buddha's true self in his own mind.
Tu Bodhi asked the Buddha: "White World Religion! being heard to this sutta, don't know if you can believe it? "
Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! You should not be so worried. Not only the present but also the future people have heard and believed this experience. After 500 years, when the Tathagata passed away, if someone who ordained (ordained) or at home (cultivates merit) heard of this sutta and born of faith, he knows that this person has cultivated wholesomeness (cultivated), It's not just four years of Buddha's life, but many lifetimes of practice, from countless Buddhas to the present
THE SOLUTION
Tu Bodhi asked the Buddha: "Do not know beings who hear this sutra, can you believe it?". This is the first time asking about believing.
Buddha for the Mahayana Bodhisattva rows, saying the Kim Cang Bat Nha Sutta, teaching the Bodhisattvas, using the Bat Nha Wisdom, destroying the ignorance of attachment, Dharma, to return to the pure mind that is Tanh Bat Nha feet no, no formless.
Tu Bodhi was concerned for inferior beings, afraid of not understanding and not believing, so he asked Buddha: "Don't know beings who hear this sutra, can you believe it?".
General idea, the Buddha taught: not only in the current Dharma life, there are sentient beings to understand and believe in this sutta, but in the future, after Buddha passed away 500 years, in the life of the Dharma or the Dharma, there are sentient beings as well. and believe in this experience. But, the beings of the Dharma or the Dharma Dharma believe that this is because they have had many lifetimes to practice and cultivate benevolent roots from countless Buddha before (like Hue Hui only heard a sentence "Falcon of headlessness" Children born in the mind "in this sutta that is enlightened), rather than just four years from the Buddha's life back here.
Buddha continued: "Tu Bodhi! Tathagata clearly see and know for sure: If any sentient being hears this sutta, the mind of believing life, until in a very short time, just chanting, then that being will be blessed immeasurably immeasurably.
Why so "_ Because of this being no longer accept the Prime Minister General multiplication, General beings, General fake life, General France and France must not fade".
THE SOLUTION
Buddha advised people who believe and practice according to this sutta, to receive immeasurable merit. This is the first advice.
A person with a gift for music can only get good and interested in music. People who have a good taste in painting can see the beauty and love in painting. Those who have a literary talent can only see the beauty and interest in literature.
Also, people who have the aptitude for Bat Nha, or say the word Duy consciousness as "Bat Nha seeds", can understand and believe the Bat Nha sutras.
People who already have Bat Nha seeds, of course no longer accept the generals: self, love, sentient beings, false feeling, the right Dharma (Buddha Dharma) and the non-Dharma (evil) Dharma . This person heard more of the Bat Nha sutta, causing his Bat Nha seed to grow, will quickly produce Bodhi fruit. Therefore, the Buddha taught: "We see clearly and know with certainty: those who hear and understand this Sutta, will be blessed immeasurably immeasurably".
Buddha taught: "If you still accept the generals, or accept the" General Dharma "or accept the" General General Dharma ", you will also be attached to the four Generals: falling, multiplication, beings and false feelings. Therefore should not be accepted "general Chief Justice France" or "General Chief Justice France".
Because of that, the Tathagata often taught: "Monks must know: my teachings are like a boat, bringing people across the river; you should not hold on to the dharma.
"Dharma" should not be adversarial, not just "illegal".
THE SOLUTION
In this paragraph, the Buddha used Wisdom of Bat Nha, breaking the attachment of "Dharma" and accepting "non-Dharma Dharma".
Buddha taught practitioners, not to accept a general at all; Even "Dharma" (or Dharma) is not accepted. If there is still a head, no matter what a general, then one is entangled in four faculties: falling, multiplication, beings and false life, or more succinctly to falling on a fallen General or dharma. If there is still clinging, France, then the negativity is clinging to each other. Disappointing defilement being arising, then the practitioner cannot surrender to the mind and dwell in the mind.
That's why the Buddha taught, "Buddha's teachings are like a boat carrying people across a river." When reaching the shore, the practitioner must leave the boat, but go to the shore. On the contrary, if the practitioner keeps accepting the boat, he will never be able to land. Austerities also, must abandon the "accept", to be freed.
In the Sutra of Enlightenment: "All the Buddhist sutras, as well as the fingers to indicate the moon. Viewers, have to hold their fingers to see the moon. But if we accept our fingers (see the fingers only) , we will never see the moon. ”
In summary, the Buddha taught: "Dharma" (Buddha Dharma) should not accept, let alone "illegal".
***
His Holiness the Zen master enlightened to the previous reason of the Bat Nha Sutta, so he wrote:
Verbatim (translation)
Dak tho complains about life
Huiyen chewed his wife's son
Thuy brave cold fishers
Save the boat without regression load.
Translate:
Niu branch passes the tree is not talented
Steep to let go of the new man
Cold wind late at night sentence no
Boats not only carry moonlight bars.
CADRE
The first sentence, talking about the store, must go back, still accept the place where the general is; just as people go and cling to a tree, there's nothing good.
The second sentence, talking about the retreat, does not support the generals; as well as those who go up the slope, but not cling to anywhere, are the great talents.
The third sentence, talking about the mind is quiet, as well as the night watch is quiet, the sky is quiet, the water is flat like a sheet, and the birds and birds are still at rest and inactive.
The fourth sentence, talking about when the expectations of the fallen generals and dharma are over, there is only light of wisdom. just as the boat does not (does not accept) only carries the moon shadow (wisdom of Bat Nha) .
Buddha asked Tu Bodhi: "Does Lai become Buddha? And does Tathagata have a sermon? ”.
Tu Bodhi said: "Bach The Ton! Tathagata does not become Buddha and Tathagata also does not lecture. Why so? Because of the Tathagata, can not accept, say not hit, think not aimed, not the Dharma, nor illegal.
How then, what is decided is "becoming Buddha", and what is decided is "speaking Dharma".
THE SOLUTION
In this paragraph, the Buddha used the wisdom of Bat Nha to destroy the attachment of "The Tathagata truly becomes a Buddha, and it is true to say Dharma."
In the Knowledge of the Three Decrees, it is written:
Presently, the money for minor things
The position of Duy formula
Of course possessed
So unconventional
That is: if the current practitioner is somewhat aware that he has a certificate of enlightenment, it is not yet a true proof of awareness, because he still has an attachment to "possessing".
If the Tathagata has become a Buddha, of course there must be beings who have not become Buddhas, then the four generals: self, multiplication, etc., are born of each other. If there is still falling, multiplication, etc., then it is not Buddha.
If the Tathagata has said the law, of course there must be sentient beings listening to the dharma. If there are still people who hear the person, of course, there are people who fall, fall, believers or things. If there are still falls, multiplication is not the Buddhist doctrine. Therefore, the Buddha preached 49 years, but eventually Buddha said: "I do not say a word".
Lao Tzu said: "The" virtue "that can be said is not truly virtuous. The name? that can be called, it is not really "name" (Taoist director, extraordinary director, famous name, extraordinary name) .
Sutra: "One day, Tu Bo De sat quietly under a tree. God Like to sprinkle flowers and offerings. Mr. Tu Bo De asked: "Who spread flowers and spread flowers for?" God Like, "He said the Bat Nha Sutra was wonderful! I came to the flowers to offer. " Tu Bodhi said: "I do not say the Bat Nha Sutta." God Like, "He did not speak, I did not hear."
Conclusion: "Don't say Bat Nha and don't listen to Bat Nha", that's why it is "to speak Bat Nha and listen to Bat Nha".
Tu Bodhi understood: "Dharma" cannot think, cannot accept, is not "yes", is not "no", is not "Dharma" and is not "illegal"; so the Buddha said, "Tathagata does not become Buddha and Tathagata does not lecture".
In short, to leave the attachments, no longer using the mind to think and discuss, is really "becoming Buddha" and "preaching".
Tu Bodhi White Buddha: "The Buddha Dharma is like that, why are there different saints of high and low?" Buddha taught: "Because the level of sentient beings is different, there are other saintly sages that are different, not the Buddha Dharma (immaterial)."
THE SOLUTION
This paragraph breaks the accept "Buddhism is different".
The above paragraph said: "The Tathagata's dharma, cannot accept attachment, talks without winning, thinks not aiming, neither is the Dharma nor is it illegal". Buddhism was so sublime, beyond speech and thought, why are there so many different saints?
Buddha explained: "Because the level of sentient beings is different, there are other saintly sages, not the Dharma differences."
In the sutta, for example: "Like three animals crossing a river". Meaning the Buddha Dharma is like a river, not shallow or deep. Practitioners like three animals wading across the river: The Goat is wading with his head (example for Hinayana); the Nai flooded his neck (for example to the Trung Thua); the elephant is awash in the shin (example for Mahayana).
***
Dharma sublime miraculous, unable to speak and discuss, so Mr. Xuyen Zen master did a lecture that:
Verbatim (translation)
Nowhere realm of starting salary
Great director of school management
Đản prime contingent lake in
Spring hybrid medicine veteran incense.
Translate:
Nowhere is vast and vast
The ethics is too far-reaching
Moon, wind, lake water are usually free
Welcome spring blooming hundred thousand flowers.
CADRE
Nowhere was vast and inconceivably vast, the Buddha Dharma was far more sublime than the vanity. Natural landscapes of the universe, such as the cool moon, the water of a calm lake, the spring of hundreds of flowers blooming, etc. all speak of the spirit of liberation in the Buddha Dharma.
Sutra said: "The most unfruitful Buddhas." Means "All worldly dharma are also Buddha Dharma." If you love the dharma world, enlightenment is Buddha Dharma.
PRIZE WORDS
Clinging: holding
Dharma: The Chief Dharma
Non-Dharma: Dharma is not righteous
No vi: Dharma is not created, because no arising, ie feet as or Buddha nature. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.6/3/2020.
