CAPACITY  OF "ATMAN".VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

 

 In  the VAJRA Sutta , the Buddha taught that there are 4 generals: " Self - Human -  We Birth  -  Long Life ". When there is still an  ordinary person , this attachment is really  sustainable , born of "self", immediately born  distinguished , so there is "cause", then there is no need to  be freed , rolling along karma in the  six paths of reincarnation , from then on. "Being" and being  led by the mind, the  mind and the consciousness , so "false feeling". When there is no "self", there is no "cause", there will be no "beings" and "false feelings". Thus, when there are 4 generals are  ordinary , when no longer 4 generals are  Bodhisattva . "Fall" is  the  first cause !

The  14th Dalai Lama  taught: " If a practitioner  goes through  years of  practice , does not find himself more ordinary, more modest and modest than  the  original time , then perhaps I have  lost my way.  the way! ” or "As long tu  long , increasingly find themselves, is nothing, it is truly a new convent ."

The  Dalai Lama  is  the embodiment  of the  Bodhisattva  Avalokitesvara , but he is always humble, saying that  ordinary people , he is just a "practitioner" and  propagating the  Buddha Dharma, so he preserves  blessings The virtues  to  propagate the Dharma  are lasting and of  great benefit  to the general public.

Always  reflect  and always remember that: " Vacuum , marvelous".  The sky was  calm , a sudden rainstorm  carnage , or clear,  calm sea , waves, peace, and "tsunami" or "tornado" that up, make as many trees, houses, boats, cars Ceng, all  things  must tilt, soar and fall into ruins. Do not think that nothing is nothing, but "rupa means no, not rupa, so! " Having self  iota , not the whole  world  is also not ... the mind  everything is  safe ." So  don't be afraid Tu will then become "nothing", but in "vacuum" will be "magic property", ie Nirvana  is  extremely  wonderful .

"Falling" is the unreal conditions there, not  longevity , but because of "ego" should be able to  turn into  energy , is "atomic" if we know how to apply  the energy  that, to  serve  for  humanity , as  Buddha  has been applied, the  benefit  for  beings ,  extremely  endless . For thousands of years, but his  prayers , teachings and  dharma  practices still echo, spreading everywhere, bringing  benefits and  peace  to  humanity .

But if that "atomic energy" falls into the hands of the "big  ego , cold-blooded, eagerly" manipulating  that energy  to  serve  "greed" for "survival,  possession , enjoyment" for please  fanatics , of those  terrorists , the real danger  immensely . War  world , first, second, and may the Holy War or War county  's second  three occur, also from the "self", wants to  prove  he is one, he is above all, he is hegemonic, no one can be better than himself, if one wants more than to  seek  destruction, or immediate suppression. But then most of the   cruel, dictatorial leaders in  the world who want to  show their  "ego" must  pay off  and die  miserably , the  most recent  example: Saddam Hussein, President of Iraq hanged dead, or Gaddafi the President of Libya  fled to  the sewer, and was shot dead by his own militia ...! For making  said  how many people have to suffer  misery , misery, their country suffer  misery , scattered.

Parents  indulge children,  nourish the  "ego" for the child, when he grows up,  if not  known to  tame  the "this is a danger to  society , in  the family  unruly  rebellious, in school aggression, devastating villages, causing  discord  where  authorities , social rebel ... all them also from the "self" that out.                                                        

"... When the  mind is  still obscured by the darkness of" attachment to self "for  three generations  , everything that  builds life is precarious, small and  ugly and  painful . Hể "ego" The bigger, deeper, all  built  from it, the more  evil ,  suffering . Hể "ego" smaller, more lightweight, all  built  since it will be less  evil suffering . The past built  on the "ego" is just an  ugly past . Currently building  on "ego" is just the thing      currently  narrow. The future  built  on "ego" is just a dark future ...

So  Kim Cang Cang  taught that: "Do all good things,  practice  all  merit , with a  pure heart , not" accept ego "or" accept "or" accept sentient beings "or" accept false life ". witness  Supreme Master  Bodhi ”.  Excerpted from the  Self  is  Nirvana  of Thich Thien Sieu.

In order to  be liberated and  enlightened , to  save  sentient beings , one must  become  "non-self", like  the Buddha , from  the position of the  Crown Prince , the future is the King, but he will let go of  everything and  go into the forest of Tu. When  witnessing the Tao  ,  every day he  must lead his  disciples  to  beg for food  all over, new chan, next to that  teacher  being beings!

Always remember that Tu is the  ignorance of ignorance , because  ignorance  is the source of all  sins , but  ignorance  is the word "accept" and "accept". In order to no longer "accept the Dharma" and "accept the self", we must often "meditate on the inside" to  humble ourselves  , humbly listen to everything or  reason ,  bow to the Buddha,  repent,  and see all  achievements  . thanks to many conditions  combined , not our own talents   . The Patriarchs understood the mind of the Buddha and the mind of  sentient beings , and taught that anyone who came to the temple had to remove shoes and all the furniture outside the door, then bow  to Buddha., rather than having a chair to sit, not  serving  this  four-body body  , giving  comfort and  happiness ,  the purpose is  also to eliminate the "ego".

So was the Tu, must  often  remind each other: Tu so low "ego" down, it is the duty and  responsibility , not every day, every  show , we here talented, without anyone, we than people, we cultivate for a long time, we cultivate a lot ... to  become  arrogant people, but away from the path,  people  are alienated and  blessed .

Even while living in  the world , must often  reflect  the "ego" of his, if you want  success  and  benefits  for  human populations  society . "... let me be humble,  respect  everyone , see myself as a small child, the practice of inferiority ... " in order to gain  merit  and  try to  study  to progress,  to  listen hard , to understand and  love life , from which to harmonize with all, "empathetic" to be good people, good deeds, to help  sentient beings ,  specifically , effective , efficient,  accurate  over.

When the newly born,  Buddha  also transmitted  the message  " Heaven heaven Duy fall as an independent ," and then, during 49 years of spreading the religion, he taught,  during  the  teachings , are instructions on how to lower down and  specifically  is leading  disciples  wade,  alms  through each house, not outside  purposes , want to  disciple  eradicate  "ego" to have  merit , sufficient  capacity  and sowing  of grace  of  beings .

"Fall" is very important, upward to be uplifted,  holy to  many  benefits  for life, or to  fall  down, to suffer many sufferings, also due to this "self". So on the way from, must always  reflect  the "self", if " increased upper-friendly " is the wrong word, then, let's quickly  adjust to increasingly cultivate increasingly find themselves more modest, are  people  revered , injured more precious, then preserve  merit , lest they will roll forever,  within the cycle  of reincarnation , but immersed in misery.
