Lesson 8
DIVISION OF TON (cont.)
- o0o -
Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! if the Bodhisattva still accepts his own immeasurable beings, it is not the Bodhisattva. Why so ? because there is actually no dharma called Bodhisattva. That is why the Buddha said, "All things are not falling, not multiplying, not being and not being false."
THE SOLUTION
In this paragraph, Buddha used the wisdom of Bat Nha to destroy the attachment of "having a Bodhisattva, a real being" and the Buddha said: "All dharma are false, there are no four generals".
True to the spirit of Bat Nha, which dharma or any Bodhisattva's deed, with the Tanh Tanh chon, is that dharma or deed.
If the Bodhisattva still accepts his own level of being, that is, the Bodhisattva is still multiplying (the one who gets degree) falls (his own degree) etc ... it is not suitable for the Bat Nha spirit, so it is not the Bodhisattva. This is the second time (the first in paragraph 3) Buddha broke the attachment "Bodhisattva has birth".
Because the Bodhisattva is compatible with the Prajnaparamita nature, Buddha taught, "There is no dharma called Bodhisattva." Also because the dharma is compatible with the Tanh Tanh chon Tanh, the Buddha taught: "All dhammas are not falling, no loving-kindness, no sentient beings and no false-life."
***
Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! If the Bodhisattva accepts, "I am solemn to the Buddha realm," then it is not a Bodhisattva. Why so? Tathagata said: "The Bodhisattva solemnly realizes the Buddha realm, but does not accept that he makes the realm of the Buddha, the real solemnity of the Buddha realm.
In a nutshell, if the Bodhisattva no longer accepts ego, the Tathagata is called "real Bodhisattva".
THE SOLUTION
This paragraph the Buddha taught: Bodhisattva no longer accept ego, dhamma, must be compatible with the nature of Bat Nha Chon, that must be real Bodhisattva and solemn Buddha's realm. This is the second time (the first time, see paragraph 16) Buddha broke the attachment "Bodhisattva has solemn Buddha realms".
Bodhisattva solemnly realms the Buddha, but does not accept that there is a solemnity, thus the Buddha is solemn. On the contrary, if the Bodhisattva asserts himself to make the Buddha realm, that is, the Bodhisattva still accepts the self (the person who makes) the dharma (Buddha's realm), which is not in accord with the Bat Nha spirit, it is neither solemn nor must be a Bodhisattva.
In summary, the Buddha taught: "If the Bodhisattva enters Bat Nha feet, no more expectations of falling, Dharma, then the Tathagata will truly call" Bodhisattva ?.
Mr. Xuyen Zen Master made a lecture summarizing the above meaning, as follows:
Verbatim (translation)
Ta tu sam death of her son
Feast of European traditions of the past decade
Truc algae photo architecture, bare motionless
Nguyet cross sea water endless.
Translate:
Borrowing her colon to bow to her
Ceremony then, the shirt returned to her
Bamboo sweep the floor, the ceiling does not move
Sesame cross the sea, the water doesn't waver.
GENERAL ITALIAN POST
This stanza is about the "headless general? of the Bat Nha and Bodhisattva Sutras make the Buddha realm; as well as the person who borrowed her rosary to bow to her. But Bodhisattva does not accept solemn Buddha realms; like a man who kowtows and returns his shirt, no more traces remain.
Bodhisattva being born or do the Buddhas that do not see themselves and sentient beings degrees etc ... as well as sweeping bamboo dust, light rays of sesame moon across the sea; the dust does not work nor water.

Buddha asked: "Tu Bodhi! Is Lai Lai humiliated? "Tu Bodhi said:" White World Religion! Tathagata has humiliating eyes. "
“Tu Bodhi! Does Tathagata have a good eye? ”
"World Honored One! Tathagata has natural eyes. "
"Tu Bodhi! Does Tathagata have Hue eyes? "
"World Honored One! Tathagata has Hue eye ".
"Tu Bodhi! Does Tathagata have Dharma eyes? "
"World Honored One! Tathagata has Dharma eyes ".
"Tu Bodhi! Does Tathagata have a Buddha eye? ”
"World Honored One! Tathagata has Buddha label ".
THE SOLUTION
This paragraph breaks the accept "Buddha and Bodhisattva do not see anything".
The purpose of the Bat Nha Sutta is to break all the attachments, then the mind or Buddha nature (Bat Nha) will appear. Therefore, the "yes" was rejected, but the "no" was rejected.
From before to here, Buddha has many times broken about the handicap. As said: "Bodhisattva must not see his level of birth, no beings have been shown. The Bodhisattva does not find himself solemn and does not see the Buddha realm being solemn, etc ... ”
Fear of acceptors: "... so, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas don't see anything at all", so at this point, the Buddha asked Mr. Tu Bodhi: "Does Tathagata have five labels?" . Mr. Tu Bo De replied, "Tathagata has five labels"; meaning there are five types of eyes, so Tathagata sees it all.
PRIZE WORDS
1. Dishonored eyes: flesh eyes of ordinary people, only seen in a small range; If there is something obstructing it, I cannot see it.
2. Heavenly eyes: The eyes of the gods, due to meditation or birth to the heavens, are this eye. Heavenly eyes see far and through all, nothing is obstructing.
3. Hue label: The wisdom eye. Hue labels only see "falling"; meaning beings are not real, just by the five aggregates and four great harmony. Goods Thinh Thinh and Duyen Duyen have Hue eyes.
4. Dharma label: The eye sees all things. Bodhisattva dhamma label, lost "self", are not; meaning that the Bodhisattva not only comprehends ego, multiplication, beings and false beings are not, but also realizes all things are not true, just because of the conditions of birth and harmony.
5. Buddha's eyes: Buddha's eye. Buddha saw all the dharmas in the world and came into the world. Buddha saw complete perfection, though constant sa world, countless beings. Buddha also saw and knew everything.
In short, Buddha has five eyes; Bodhisattva has 4 eyes; 2 redundant left; mortal only one; gods have 1 or 2.
Oldest man doing a lecture about the five eyes as follows:
Phonetic translation (verbatim):
Thien label is not afraid
Humiliation afraid of non-communication
French customary customary
Hue labels willow intelligence
Buddha labels as natural disasters
Projecting heterogeneous homogeneous.
Translate:
The eye sees smoothly
Meat's eyes feel awkward
Does the French eye see the dharma?
Hue eyes see not fall
Buddha's eyes lost everything
Like all legal entities.

Buddha asked, "Tu Bodhi! Sand in song constant, Tathagata has called sand? ".
Tu Bodhi replied, "Bach The Ton! Tathagata also called the sand. "
Buddha asked: “As a Ganges river has countless sand, then take each grain of sand, to example a Ganges, then there are countless Ganges. Among the countless Ganges, each Ganges has countless sand, and then bring countless grains of sand in the countless Ganges, again, for example, each sand grain is a grain of Buddha's sand (Great World) . So, does Buddha's world have many? ”
Tu Bo De replied, "Bach The Ton is very much".
Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! All beings in such countless worlds, how many thoughts, Tathagata all know knows.
Buddha continued: "Tu Bodhi! Tathagata said the mind, not really having the mind, only called "mind". Why is that? _ Because the mind of the past could not be found, the present mind could not find, the future mind also could not find. ”
THE SOLUTION
This paragraph continues with the paragraph above (50), Tathagata has 5 eyes, so Tathagata see knows the same world and take all beings.
In countless worlds, each world has countless beings, each sentient being has many thoughts, Tathagata all knows everything.
Just talking about "mind", fearing sentient beings who accept "have mind" but cannot enter Kim Cang Bat Nha, Buddha immediately destroyed: "Tathagata says" mind "is not really mindful, just pretending to be" mind " .
Buddha further explained: Because the mind of the past has passed away, the mind of the future has not come, the present mind does not stop, so in the three lifetimes seeking the mind cannot be.
In the olden days, His Excellency Hue Kha (Second Patriarch) came to pray for Ancestor (Su To) to return to peace of mind (alternating with the "map of Buddhist practice" episode 4).
To Dat ma asked, "What did you come here for?"
Mr. Hui Kha replied, "White Master! I'm here to pray for peace of mind. ”
To Dat Ma asked: "The past is unacceptable, the present is unyielding, the future is impossible, so which mind would you like?".
Sir Hue Kha replied: "In three times (past, present and future) I seek the mind are not possible."
To Dat Ma taught: "I have peace of mind for you then." Hue immediately realized his enlightenment.
His Holiness the Zen master did a poem talking about the three minds
Verbatim (translation)
Tam Te Cau Tam, immutable mind
Health labels are contagious
Any tu di sword carved cycle
Sheer style is often presented
Translate:
Inert eyes just stared
Looking forever three generations did not see the mind
Three periods of snow often opposite
Sword falls harshly strict range
SOLUTION AND AGENT
In the old days, some people went by boat to drop a sword in the river. The instant he took a knife to carve the boat, waiting for the boat to rest and find it. When the boat landed, he went down to the river to search for it. He wondered, "The sword has just fallen, I carved a boat to make a seal right here, why can't I search it all the time?"
The wise man said, "You are so foolish! The sword fell a while ago, then you have to find the place just now and there; Don't wait until now, it's different now, how can we find it ”.
Likewise, spiritual practitioners have to realize their own hearts. If there is still a mind to find the mind, there is no way to find it; Because the mind of the past is gone, the present mind doesn't stop, the future mind hasn't come.
In short, the main idea of the chant:
Natural scenes, such as clear snow, bright moon, cool breeze, fresh flowers in front of the eyes, d8èu manifesting the mind of permanent residence. Practitioners must be angry where all things are enlightened to his own mind, need nothing to look far. If the practitioner is not enlightened, he is concerned about finding the past, the present, and the future mind, just like the one who carved a boat on the boat to search for a sword, never to find it.

Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! If someone uses 7 treasures, filled in a Great World (one thousand million small worlds) to give alms, will this person be blessed? ”.
Tu Bodhi said, "If this blessing is true, the Tathagata says this virtue is not much. Not much blessings, Tathagata said "to a lot of merit."
THE SOLUTION
If bringing new accept that minister works, the merit of that virtue becomes smuggled; No matter how much oil there is also the end. On the contrary, if you take the mind of formlessness (do not pray for fame, benefit, not accept mercy, accept ego etc ...) but do merit work, then this blessing belongs to the pure smuggled purity, consistent with the nature of Uncivil feet ( a little mind) even though you do little, but the merit is endless.
In the old days, To Dat Ma came to China to preach. King Luong Vo De brought alms to merit, cast bells, create statues and set up 72 pagodas, etc. to ask To Dat Ma. In the question, you have to show off your generosity.
The King asked: "I made 72 pagodas, cast bells, made statues, religious monks, bribes, etc ... are there many merits?".
Answering rightly in the spirit of "headless and formless" of the Bat Nha Sutta, Toa Ma said: "There is no merit". King Luong Vo De, because he was too poorly qualified, could not understand the teachings of the Patriarch, so he suspected that it was not the Patriarch, who offered poison to Dat Ma ... (see the book "To Dat Ma", published by Huong Dao) ).
His Holiness described the scene: when the clouds of ignorance accept all, the moon of Wisdom of Bat Nha appears, with the following two sentences:
Verbatim (translation)
Infinite wild room atmosphere take place
Her first moon moonlight heavenly mind
Translate:
The wind blew dark clouds to the sea
A light moon in the sky

Buddha asked, "Tu Bodhi! Can you show my body that I can see Buddha? "
Tu Bodhi replied, "Bach The Ton! It is impossible to show the body of Buddha as to see Buddha. Why is that? Because Tathagata said the body, not really the body, only called itself body.
Buddha continued: "Tu Bodhi! Can you show that our good generals (32 good generals, 80 beauty) are able to see Buddha? "
Tu Bodhi replied, "Bach The Ton! cannot show the good generals of Buddha that he can see Buddha. Why so? Because Tathagata holds good generals, not really good generals, only fake generals call good generals. "
THE SOLUTION
This paragraph the Buddha Wisdom Kim Cang Bat Nha break the accept: "Seeing the body and appearance of the Buddha to see the Buddha". This is the third time (the first and second in paragraphs 7 and 25) Buddha broke the attachment of seeing Buddha.
Kinh Kim Cang, Buddha taught: "Everybody possesses generosity, false visionary vision" (anything that has a form is a lie).
The form of Buddha, created by the four great harmony, creates the form of the Buddha, and also the false form of the Buddha is false, only called the body of Buddha.
Then from the upper body, created by four great generals, gave birth to many generals, those generals also had false hopes, only fake were called 32 good generals and 80 beauty.
By the time of completing the task of being born, the Buddha took the spirit of death and passed away, giving the body of four elements to enter Nirvana, the body and 32 generals were good, because the four great pseudonyms of the Buddha also practiced the law of "birth, head, abnormal. , kill ”but transform. At that time there was nothing left to call a good form and appearance.
That is why Buddha taught, "It is not physical form, only fake identity is called; It's not a good champion, just a fake champion. " Therefore, Mr. Tu Bodhi replied, "It is not possible to show the body or the good appearance of Buddha but to be able to see Buddha."
***
Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! He should not think: "Tathagata has the sermon". Why so? If anyone does not understand the words of the Buddha, saying, "Tathagata has a sermon", then he despises Buddha. "
Tu Bodhi! Tathagata said: "The sermon, ie no dharma can be said, is called the sermon".
THE SOLUTION
This paragraph the Buddha Wisdom Kim Cang Bat Nha eradicate the accept "Tathagata has sermon". This is the 3rd time, Buddha broke the attachment of "The Tathagata has sermon" (the first in paragraphs 11 and 23)
If someone accepts: "Buddha has a sermon", then he also accepts ego (Buddha) and accept the dharma (sermon). Bring the mind of accepting the Dharma of the ordinary people and thinking of discussing the Buddha's Dharma, the Buddha's Dharma becomes the attachment of the Buddha. His Holiness Xuyen Zen master said: "Ta the theory of Chief Justice, the Chief Justice of the law" (the wrong person says the Chief Justice, the Chief Justice became evil). That's why Buddha said: "he despises Buddha". Because they could not enter the "Ly Kim Cang Bat Nha", the Buddha said, "They do not understand the Buddha's words."
Lao Tzu Tzu said, "A Tao that can speak is not really a Tao (a Tao that is capable of being an extraordinary person)." Also agreeing to this, the Buddha taught: "There is no dharma that can be said, which is called sermon".
Buddha said the verse as follows:
Verbatim (negative translation):
Thi Tung became a queen
Chung Chi Bat De Ha
The second intermediary
The most common theory of self
Translate:
Since being enlightened
Time to enter Nirvana
During that period of time
I do not say a word.
GREAT ITALS
This verse is about the Prajna experience. Ancient people taught: "countless legends and legends," (not saying Bat Nha and not listening to Bat Nha, actually speaking Bat Nha and listening to Bat Nha), (please readers to read paragraphs 11 and 23).
***
At that time, Mr. Tu Bodhi said to Buddha: "White World Religion! In the next life, if any sentient being hears about the Bat Nha Sutta, do not know if they can believe it? ”. Buddha taught: "Tu Bodhi! They are not sentient beings. Why so? Tathagata said beings, it is not sentient beings, only called beings. "
THE SOLUTION
This paragraph the Buddha Wisdom Kim Cang Bat Nha break the accept "there are beings". In the nature of Prajnaparamita, then the self and the dharma are not, the four generals are no longer there.
Four generals have not, ego no longer, then there is nothing being or non-being. Having not sentient beings or non-beings, what is believing or not believing. True to the spirit of Prajna, if there is a difference between attachments, then it is not true. That is why the Buddha taught, "Tathagata says beings, not real beings, just call them beings".
His Excellency the Great Master made a poem, to summarize this paragraph, as follows:
Verbatim (translation)
Beings live false data
Aggregates up the name
As qui mao real truth
I feel invisible
Translate:
Fall, multiplication, beings and false life
On the five aggregates only fake names
Like turtle fur, there's no body
Like a horn with no picture
GENERAL ITALIAN POST
All of the dharmas on the five aggregates, such as falls, multiplication, beings and false feelings, etc., are not real, such as turtle hair and rabbit horns, only imitation.
