Chapter I: Practicing.
1. Austerities: Find Again "Ban Lai Ban Item".VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.
The dharma that we cultivate is the Dharma-Supreme dharma, which has no form, because it is the dharma in the mind.
2. The Foot Pillar of Practitioners
Then it's good to say: "I'm very good"; If that's bad, then say, "I'm the best!" Evil thoughts are always at the top, overwhelming good thoughts; so the good is ultimately crushed by evil. That is not a good thing.
At that time, you see that everyone is not in the eye; Seeing anything is not pleasing. Some people want to leave the temple; or some people feel like they have no intention of wanting to continue. In fact, no matter whether you are rational or unreasonable, every time you start to suffer, you are wrong!
Fear is the psychology that lets you feel only, others don't feel like you; therefore, only yourself is detrimental. When I'm not in control, then I'm afraid. Scared too, afraid forever, the birth of disturbing emotions. Then, the mind is not stable, there will be no more spiritual Dao!
A: Don't say "not simple." You just do it will be very simple!
Question: But I am a mortal so ...
A: Saying you are "ordinary", that is attachment!
Question: But I have not practiced anything ...
A: Don't say no practice (then no practice). You need to have faith, that: "I have the ability to become a Buddha. I also have the ability to cultivate to a place." If you think like that, you are more diligent. Don't keep saying, "I, I ..."; by itself (the concept of "I") works, hinders you!
It is because he has no idea of "I" that he is enlightened. Therefore, eliminate the self-minister.
Tu Dao is the need to subtract greed, hatred and delusion; attain to pure body, mouth, and mind.
You need to practice rings; patience, patience is the basic, the root of cultivation. If you cannot cultivate rings, then it is in vain to bring the appearance, the appearance of the monk!
When it comes to jobs that inspire you, ask yourself, "Who is having fun?" When faced with afflictions, ask yourself, "Who is sad?"
So you need to recite Amitabha, saying to yourself, "Disturbing! Hurry and go away, there's nothing for now!" That is the mind mind treatment.
Once, there were two disciples who meditated together, one sitting very solemnly, the other leaning back and forth; but their Master whiped him and sat solemnly. If the people today then perhaps he was angry, being afflicted already; but the disciple was extremely embarrassed, asking Master to give instructions.
Practicing is not a "right" and "wrong" dispute. Practicing requires meticulous patience; even if I'm right and blamed for being wrong, I have to accept it.
(Method: Recite the Buddha, Lord Buddha, generate the mind to work at the temple, without calculation. Whenever calculating, being disturbed, that is create new karma.)
Today is today. Tomorrow is tomorrow. Whatever you do, don't put your hands in your nose. That is the solid mind, which is spiritual practice.
When cultivating, just cultivate, do not need to think, calculate what is going to study Buddhism-study, get a degree, do this and that? It is not a practice.
When those things (clothes, meals, houses ...) are too affluent, the desire will abate, the greed will soar. Therefore, want to let go body and mind, they must from where to eat, wear, in the elaborate lower.
a) Eyes
b) Ear
Say you are good, criticize you as bad: This is not because people are wrong, but actually you are not stable.
It is not to say: "I bow to Buddha many times a day, recite Buddha's name with many strings" and that is enough; must know that these are the predestined conditions (but must know how to cultivate in the remaining time).
c) Mouth
When you open your mouth, talk about the Buddha Dharma, Western birth. The "secular habit" strain you've cultivated in your mind is more than enough; Therefore, do not continue to say the words worldly, poet!
After renunciation already, in the temple there are still people who speak non-town. However, don't tell them the marketing is enough. Do not keep opening your mouth is non-marketing. Whoever gossips and speaks about other people, he is a market keeper.
Whenever you have free time, prostrate to Buddha and recite Buddha's name.
A: Need to eat enough. Mostly not greedy, not attached.
Not that every delicious food, eat a little more, bad food, eat a little less. Don't crave for flavor, taste, contact, and dharma
A: Recite "Namo Amitabha Buddha" for many.
There is delusion, greed, hatred and delusion are the great diseases. Still delusion is still continuing the chain of reincarnation, not ending the cycle of birth and death.
To ensure mindfulness at the moment of death, we normally need to take the "Amitabha Buddha" medicine; If not, I won't know where to die!
When the mouth does not speak, the mind thinks; But don't think things that have form, silhouette; Must think outside the form.
Now, what we do is only hard work, asceticism. Because currently we have not been greed, hatred and delusion, so this is the stage of cultivating the mind. Wait until those things are no longer a piece of a piece, then called the Dao.
You need to take 10 years, 20 years to maintain a sentence "Amitabha Buddha" without letting go, plus elaborately Tin, May, Onions.
When there is no sin, then it is merit!
Today does not happen any wall, can recite the Buddha's name through the day, is enough already.
Tomorrow's work, for tomorrow's sake - don't be afraid, don't worry.
Always pay attention to the start of your thoughts, thoughts and thoughts. When you have a bad idea, you must immediately wake up and put it away.
When cultivating, you must have the attitude of "invisible fear" everywhere, everywhere. Yes, the mind is calm, new as unmoving.
What is "dynamic and static no longer afraid of?" That is, in a dynamic situation your mind is not moving: You are not affected by an external dynamic situation that moves your mind. And when you are in a quiet situation, you have no idea of being quiet.
Must use the recitation of Buddha's voice to wipe out these two dust states, causing the flower to open; that is why you are mindful. When reciting Buddha's name, you need to transfer mindfulness - transform, turn evil thoughts into mindfulness!
Normally, treat anything to let go; No problems, no problems. That is to avoid the case of death, the ultimate moment, the delusion emerging that draws us into the endless cycle of reincarnation.
Having new wisdom does not create negative karma. Therefore, one must cultivate a mind of compassion and practice the Bodhisattva conduct.
When everyone wants to practice, let's encourage together and practice together. If not, then people will start to talk about things, create jealousy, dispute, and become foolish; Then, the practice in the temple will not be peaceful anymore.
When the body contempt, gently, the mind will rejoice (Lac); when there is less hope in mind, the mind will be clear (Minh); and when there is no thought or thought arising, attain the state of no.
If you are entangled in a realm of Lac, then fall and the Heavenly-Precepts, attachment to the Ming realm, become trapped in the Sac-Precepts, and cling to the Realm of Non-attachment in Infinite-Sacrifice.
1. Strong Faith, Suffering Hanh
If you have the vow to cultivate asceticism, then you will have some magical power, you will know this and that. At that time, I felt myself in control.
A. Encouraging Practicing
The network also decreases,
Like a dried up fish,
Try asking something funny? "
"Everything is not good enough,
Only personal karma. "
B. Happiness
A: May it not be "I want to be like this or that"; because then there is still the "self", the "me." May the natural distribution be made, and for the sake of sentient beings.
Like myself, I never said what I was like, where I am? Even though I have achievements today, I don't know!
This body is temporary, will definitely be destroyed; Even if you want to save, there is no way to recover.
What is "letting go of this body"? That is to eat protein rice, wear a rough coat, cover three layers of tomato; not to mention delicious, nice dress!
Once upon a time, I was on a mountain practicing spiritually, depending on my predestined relationship. As long as all beings can eat, humans can eat; it is called the natural offering of heaven and earth.
If you are so hungry and so stubborn you endure, your body will fail. Austerities need to use the mind; extreme things like not eating and drinking like that should not be cultivated.
It's not like not eating rice! It is to eat to fill, not to eat well; wear warm enough to cover yourself, not beautiful. It is good to sleep well enough to have enough spirit; Do not fall asleep. Sleeping a lot is prone to drowsiness, confusion, and heavy feelings.
If you set up not to eat rice, fasting, it will make the body weak, then it will be difficult to cultivate. So it's a waste for you to come here to practice.
I used to work through it (fasting); Only when you are old, you know it's wrong.
A: You should not be greedy, immersed first in everything (eat, dress, and live); Just being able to live through the day is good enough.
Don't say there is a lot of food to be offered, and then plug in your neck, make yourself a slave to the mouth. However, you cannot eat too little, so your stomach is hungry. You have to eat your stomach, eating enough to be full is good - don't distinguish between good and bad!
Currently, all foods have chemicals, or have been contaminated with chemicals, disinfectants ... When the food is really unable to eat, or is already spoiled, do not eat. Just eat indiscriminately, eat a lot more, you can die!
3. Let Go Of This Rotten Leather Bag!
For example, someone has a heart attack; if he specializes in reciting Buddha's name, then heart disease will definitely heal. If he recites the Buddha's name but still wants to go to the doctor to check the condition, then reciting the Buddha's name returns the Buddha's name, the disease cannot be healed (lack of sincerity). If he can concentrate on reciting the Buddha's name, the illness will heal, but he himself will not know either!
After all, this body is illusory; nevertheless, we have to skillfully use it to practice spiritually.
When sick, you must be able to assemble the impermanence of life. It is difficult to avoid birth, old age, sickness, death, and suffering; Therefore, the more effort, increase the spiritual practice!
"I don't need anything!" That is going astray then.
Man is the one in the best spiritual position; because becoming a Buddha or going to hell all from where this person is determined.
Secular books in life, you've already read them all (when you haven't cultivated, still in society); so should not be because of it that reincarnation in this realm Ta-Ba!
Some (renunciates already) still go to school (real life school); It is like a secular person! When he does not have a pillar of practice to rely on, the more he learns, the more chaos he has.
You need to take time; Don't let time and time go to waste. Take time to watch the sutras, bow to Buddha, recite the Buddha's name, meditate, meditate!
If defilement comes and you don't know liberation, you will be hard-wired into negativity; That is like taking the wrong medicine, or taking the poison. It is up to you to take or not to take medicine. You must take medicine for the right medicine; Do not drink the wrong poison! What does that mean? This means that you have to know "reflected light bounce", turn your mind to reflect the heart (look afflicted according to the eyes of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the scriptures).
Gender, Dinh, Hue is not something to take to talk - that's what is used to practice, to cultivate (break) the Five Elements. Chanting does not have to be clarified. You must meet the meaning of Sutra; If not, it is for your renunciation!
Like "Taking refuge in the Dharma, pray that sentient beings, deeply understand the Sutta Pitaka, have wisdom like the sea." How is your wisdom as far-reaching as the sea? Outsiders look at once they know right away!
Not the classic is where the black and white paper is square; because of the end, they are not things of your (true-nature).
You must see the "Beyond the Sutra in the Sūtra" - the one who knows how to read it knows right away; Anyone who doesn't know how to watch it can't know it. Therefore, whenever reciting Buddha's name, reciting it to a certain level, it will naturally be in your mind!
A: Buddha is nothing. In life (society) there are sharp objects, appearance. Learning Buddha, there is nothing at all.
The mind is "no". If there are still things in the mind that have rupa, then defilements will arise.
The mind in the future: also unable to grasp.
The mind is gone: it's impossible to grasp.
A: Must cultivate merit. For example, when I meet someone who doesn't have rice to eat, I give him some rice to eat. Always find ways to help the needy, the poor; so is the blessing of spiritual practice (that is, ending all evil by growing good deeds). And therefore, I will no longer do evil deeds (thus, the evil itself dissipates, the mind does not initiate evil thoughts).
Now by listening to the Dharma, knowing that the Buddha, Amitabha, is the one who delivered 48 prayers, that whoever recites his name will be led to the West. If the Buddha so wish, then we also have to make vows: vow to rebirth Pole-Lac.
We have to be sure that there is a World of Great Bliss, there is the Great Compassion Buddha (Amitabha Amitabha); then we must always recite Buddha's name until we are at the moment of our death to be mindful. When dying, but capable of reciting Buddha's name, Buddha Amitabha will come to lead. However, if you still have the thought of attachment to anything, no matter how small, like a needle or a blade of grass in this Ta-Ba realm, you will fall into samsara again!
Nowadays, it is very difficult for you to have time to practice spiritually. To see if you can find the way to escape samsara or not. If you pay too much attention to this body, you don't have to practice reciting Buddha's name. Too much care for this body, there's no way to save it!
Be quiet, calmly recite Buddha's name; The idea of falling asleep is always possible. When the mind comes to the specialized place - just one thought - then you can export the Three Realms, directly to the West. When practicing spiritually, you need to practice: seeing with your eyes but pretending not to see, ears pretending to be ignorant; just sincerely recite Buddha's name.
When you recite the mind, you will enlighten that we are from morning to night, the mind always closes its eyes outside without ever contemplating whether our mind is directed toward Amitabha Buddha. Do not allow your mind to be tied to a bunch of followers, disciples, or the outside world. If you tie them, they will be turned and dragged away; Scary!
Some say retreat, but they are full of delusion, the brain is not at all pure. When you sit quietly, feel tired, you should get up and walk.
When you recite Buddha's name and leave the realm, that is Zen. You must maintain mindfulness, because there are always many evil seeds in your mind.
Although reciting Buddha's name is also a illusory story, it belongs to mindfulness. Therefore, we use illusory (recite Buddha's name) to eliminate illusory (delusion).
A: This is also an attachment. As long as you do not pay any attention to delusion is okay (the mind will specialize). Because we tell ourselves: "Don't start thinking"; But delusions still arise. Therefore, when paying attention to delusions, we produce one more thought; The more you pay attention to it, the more it increases!
Each mind, each thought, you should not leave the Buddha realm. Go, stand, lie, sit - most movements, whatever you do, recite Buddha's name. Crying also recited Buddha's name; take a step and recite the Buddha's name. The power of reciting the Buddha's greatness is unparalleled, which can make you attain recitation of the Buddha Tam-Muoi - a kind of Dinh that is not ordinary.
When I was born, I brought with me a lot of bad karma. Therefore, don't create new karma to die and bring again; No benefit at all!
A: All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are equally good. Not chanting one is better than the other: it is all because you distinguish, compare that out. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas don't necessarily need you to recite their names anymore.
"Meditation and Pure Land simultaneously,
Ten cultivators, ten successful people.
There is Zen, there is no Pure Land,
Ten cultivators, nine who lost their way! "
Just calmly just recite the Buddha's name, then relatively not go astray or happen harm.
If you know how to clean your mind to recite Buddha's name, then when you die, there will be a lotus, Buddha, Bodhisattva and a world of hostility. Therefore, when you are alive, you need to cultivate to eliminate all mundane desires.
The purpose of the Buddha-loss is to save sentient beings reborn in the World of Extreme Bliss.
The world of Ta-Ba is born with death; The Western realm is immortal. If you go abroad, you need money to buy a ticket, do not come to the West, you just need to recite the Buddha to the most specialized level, no appearance (attachment). That is the "undying immortality" so. You have to recite Buddha's name to have a place for you to consign your life.
Recite the Buddha's name, recite the concept not far from the Buddha. Recite clearly, listen to quibble, each word must be clear. The mind remembers, the ear listens, the mouth silently recites - just like that, the mind concentrates on the Buddha. Let go of everything outside; depending on the concept of mindfulness, the mind will concentrate, specialize. Regardless of whether the "person reciting" or "reciting", regardless of whether "I recite" or "you recite"; Great-people who rely on the Buddhist concept, the mind will specialize. The Western Bliss also relies on this recitation of Buddha's name.
When fighting Buddha-Furniture, you do not let the mundane idea draw your mind. If you are not dedicated, it is a precious opportunity.
Therefore, please single heart a recite Buddha, focus on the mind.
A: Not possible!
"If anyone remembers Buddha, recites Buddha's name,
then now or tomorrow will definitely see Buddha;
There is no need of anything, openly and openly. "
what do you mean?
A: Yes! Opening heart means seeing Buddha, seeing the Buddha of self-nature.
Do not be attached, ask why Amitabha does not appear to lead!
If the master still aspires to save sentient beings, then that desire is also an attachment, a frightening thing!
Teacher Quang-Hóa answers: Speaking according to the azimuth, it is in the West; in fact, it is in my heart.
The Buddha taught that if any one day, two days ..., until seven days that can recite the Buddha to the "single-minded disorder", Buddha (Amitabha) will come to lead. But if you don't eat or sleep, then you don't need seven days, just four or five days is enough!
The Master laughed, saying: Really? Where is that Bodhisattva like that?
As long as Sutras, Laws, Abhidharma exist, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can teach themselves.
Do not assume that no one has ordained, then there is no more (Dharma).
Praying without seeing is a good thing.
If the bridge sees, then those appearances are not reliable.
Must expect nothing; Just recite the mind of Buddha. Buddha, Bo-slapped from the foot of pure mind appear to be true.
Currently, you sleep in the dream at night, but in the morning, you are in a dream.
You are like filming a movie; This movie is very long - your whole life, but like a night dream!
(Venerable-Master encouraged Quang-Hoa to recite Buddha's name with real-form - true appearance is not form, not being born; that is true mind? , appearance, worldly affairs of the world).
Once upon a time, ancient people only said one sentence, I said too much today! Wait until you go back, you slowly receive the enlightenment, fully comprehended.
Chapter V: The Practice of Pàrami
Everyone needs to work together. It is not that you speak in your mouth that you command others to do it; That is the attitude to be avoided. Take it easy, mildly explain the work, how to do it, so that the listener will understand clearly. For example, explain the flowers he doesn't understand, make him see; otherwise, the job will not work smoothly, both you and him will be afflicted.
Don't shout out loud, giving this, just that ... as if the father sent the son, the master sent me; That's a secular way, not good!
If you are a manager, you must try to do it well. Everything that needs to be said must be said; not because of private feelings (the need to say but do not say), to avoid making the mistake of planting false mistakes.
Good is learned about, bad things thrown aside. Inside is clear enough. Just follow here to cultivate patience.
Make efforts to practice spiritually. If you have a problem, ask Master, I will answer it.
Do not be afraid of losing face, then set yourself to do.
Do not divide the boundaries between yourself and the person very clearly (this is "my" job, that is "yours"). Whenever someone does not do it, you should not get angry, upset, but should be happy to do for him. Always be merciful (generous, forgiving)!
If you find something that hasn't been done yet, go ahead and do it. Don't say anything to others (criticize, question why you won't do it ...), because the merit of doing is yours. If you keep talking about others, just create more karma.
Working is a way for us to eliminate our own karma, not to do it for anyone else.
When a brother or a brother helps you, if you are afraid, afraid of being blessed, or thinking that it is not worth being helped, or that you are afraid of letting people help you, they will enjoy all the merit ; Such ideas are attachments.
In order for others to be blessed, first of all, we must be blessed to give them to them!
He is the Thien-knowledge level - the person who leads the way.
Do not be scolded for an hour but instant discomfort, frustration, disturbing students.
When you practice, you need to have a frank mind: "Yes! I'll wipe it right away!" This is also a test of your heart, whether you cultivate your mind or not. Therefore, austerities in direct mind - frank mind. This is exactly how monks and nuns work.
For example, when cleaning, you do it very clean; then it is like you have cleaned your mind clean and pure.
Just do just recite the Buddha, should not neglect, distraction.
Do not let your consciousness, your thoughts, your mind, your body, your mouth and your mind are pure.
If you are too worried about preserving this body, then it is difficult to cultivate and bless; On the contrary, this rotten "leather bag" also tricked me.
Except all the grasping and the legal, the new wisdom opened. Wisdom has no form at all, cannot touch, hold it. However, if the wisdom is open, but I don't know, but whenever I see something, I can see through it thoroughly, knowing what to do right away. That is true wisdom!
Only when there is mindfulness, what we manifest or do is compassionate; The viewpoint I have is also naturally mature and correct. This is also the mind of Buddha.
A: "Not attached to work" does not mean negligence, neglect, irresponsibility, scandal, and negligence; nor is it networking, plugging neck plugs in excess; Which means that after you've done everything, nothing will happen.
When your heart is still paying attention, still afraid, worried about work, unable to let go; then that is attachment. When working in an attitude that is not attachments, it is good to do it. Regardless of attachment, the job will not be good; Because the attachment is lacking in wisdom, but working also requires Dinh-force, need to have concentration, attention too!
Must have the ability to judge and discern; don't be like an ignorant dog, see people throwing a stone, he doesn't know what to throw and runs after him!
Must handle the work and furniture in the temple appropriately and completely. Like planting a cluster of trees, if you don't decide in time to plant them in time, the tree will die; At that time, the fault is on you.
Do not start the mind to distinguish (discuss, brag, complain ...), giving birth to all non-marketing (disputes, quarrels, reasoning ...).
As for work, it is like that; for others it is the same!
"Because willow will be reborn, because of the end of samsara!"
At the temple to do? It is to cultivate virtue, cultivate the future of the item.
If you look at the things around Master, you will immediately understand. After listening to what you have to do, you must try to assemble, not to overhear the ears.
2. The Transcendent Path of the Practitioner
A. Before and After Life hours i
When in the Forum, talk less and talk less with other people (or fate). Whenever you have time, bow to Buddha, recite Buddha's name.
Everything (in World-forums) is very simple; You should not compare with others to see who eats well, sleeps well, or how this or other things happen ... Tho Gioi is the time to learn majesty and rules; rather than discussing, speaking non-business, creating career.
Just when your heart has aroused an evil idea, you use the Precepts to stop it. That is called taking precepts as teachers.
B. Throw away fame and fortune
The Venerable Master replied, "I have no idea about it either, because they are all illusory. No one knows what is best for us!"
The questioner nodded: "That is the true meticulousness!"
C. This Mind
Practitioners need to have the power of "turning everything into nothingness"!
A. Thap Phuong Pagoda
Do not compare, distinguish who this disciple is, the other whose disciple is. Everyone who observes the Precepts and rules is the same. Everyone is a disciple of Buddha. If you clearly divide, "Teacher is the one who came from outside, I am Master's disciple in this temple ..."; then you are not a monk!
As a monk, you only need to practice in accordance with the Precepts. Whenever you cultivate properly, wherever you go you are also revered by everyone, even Thien, Long, Bat Bo also support, protect you, and every temple is your home!
B. The Misty Place
When your heart is not stable, there is no way you can practice!
A: Are you leaving because your mind is not safe or because the temple is not safe?
If your mind is not secure, even if you run to the West, you will not be secure.
When your mind wanders, feels uneasy, runs free, but you transfer it immediately, the mind will settle down. Therefore, keeping the Precepts is extremely important. As long as you keep the precepts clean, the mind will be pure. When your mind is not peaceful, look at everything you have self-Minister (clinging to the conception of yourself and your own); therefore you must look at every thing that is not us, nor is it ours.
To come to the West, you have to cultivate to a place where the mind is no longer in turmoil, that is, the delusion is no longer congested. When faced with anything, your heart has only one pure thought, that is the West.
The mind is not safe, so the thought is wandering forever. Therefore, you have to take your mind to be at peace; If not, then how to "an"? When your mind wants to run wild, ask yourself where it wants to run.
C. Study Visiting
Therefore, monks must practically practice asceticism, recite the Buddha's name for many, and bless the two bhikkhus.
D. Relationship Between Fellow Practitioners
After listening to others talk about his teacher 's mistake, you bring those things that he heard and told to everyone, how much of his sins are attributed to you. Because it is a mistake to say bad things about fellow practitioners.
When you want to ask someone to do something, do not use the attitude of command (such as loudly, majestically, talking curtly), making them look like a father sending a child, a master sends me; because that is the attitude of the secular.
If you are a Taoist monk, you must take Buddha Dharma as a model (that is, use small, gentle, respectful words to ask them to work).
Master-initiate has Dinh-force; otherwise, I cannot let you get within a hundred steps. You don't have one tenth of mindfulness right now; Therefore, you are still in a very dangerous situation, so you need to pay close attention.
E. Patience
Do not assume that these afflictions cause you pain and birth and hate them, bored them, consider anything you are not satisfied with, see anything thorny eyes, then you think: "Well, wrap the package to get away! already!" Song, know where to go well? It is also impossible to get married, because you know doing so is more miserable than that, what else is living in hell?
How to observe? You must contemplate such words as money; and when the other person spits bad words, it's like he is throwing money to you. If when those realms come and you don't have patience, don't know how to cultivate patience, you will only produce all kinds of afflictions and frustrations!
When patience, your heart has no feeling, do not see what happens; like when someone curses at you, you don't know they curse you; then it is true that patience-humiliation Ba-la-secret.
F. A Isolated Mindfulness
Everything has cause and effect, even as small as a needle, a thread, a word - all have cause and effect.
The Venerable Master replied: Don't be attached. If her bowl had been broken by someone, and there were people who resented it and wanted to take revenge on the other person, it was obviously just because of the bowl that she created resentment on the sheep, causing hatred for others!
Do you know? As long as you bring up a disturbing thought, you are wrong, no need to talk about whether you are right or not!
Cultivation is self-correction based on truth, not on others. Therefore, you must respect and respect the Three Jewels (the embodiment of truth).
Every being, everyone has a bad mistake; But every day he knows how to repent, to repent, to amend, then that's good. Whether it hatches from the egg, or is born from a fetus, from a damp place or from transformation - all have Buddha-nature. Many animals are very flexible nature, more than humans; However, the only crime is that they cannot speak for us to understand.
As people, everyone is full of a disturbing belly; If you do not know the error then how to tu? Therefore, the amendment is from here, from this awareness that eliminates negativity. Otherwise, every day you stay the same, no change - eat, sleep, work, don't cultivate to enlightenment; then in old you are still the same, and your brain is full of troubles!
If you are being oppressed and mistreated, you think: "You despise me like that; but, I still practice to let them understand"; you are a person of character; And so, one day you will succeed!
Seeing people at home wearing beautiful clothes (that is, a scene), some people thought to themselves: "How can I become a monk like this? Everything is not there, only wear these three rudimentary brown shirts. ... "; There was another who thought, "Oh! In this miserable Ta-Ba realm, only dresses so beautifully; what's so cool and strange?"
At this time, the material world is plentiful, so easy to get what you want. Many things, due to advanced technology, no longer need to use limbs, so extremely comfortable.
As monks and nuns, you must observe and reflect on the examples of spiritual practice of the previous Patriarchs. Following in their footsteps, cultivating will end samsara.
I (Venerable) ordained as a monk not for the sake of enjoyment; I want to make things like eating, sleeping, and clothes so simple. I'd rather be disregarded by society, thinking that everything here can't be compared to people!
When socially respected, between them and us will generate affection, love, and then will lead to suffering to be separated; The result is a vicious cycle of samsara! When you are despised and despised by society, you will be less afflicted (like taking one, owning the other, associating with one person for another), less distrust (just think about it all) from one thing to another, not one thing after another, without end), and easier to devote to the work!
I am not asking for anything. Beings that see me are born happy; However, I myself did not know.
At the moment, cultivators need to use the Buddha-dharma and truth to direct and educate sentient beings. Otherwise everything becomes secular; Not only can I not depend on anyone but I also lose my generosity!
(For example, Venerable Quang Kham: He never went down the mountain, but many who admire and take refuge in Him are unspeakable.)
The renunciation took kindness as the root, took the means to use, took the great compassion as a body. All (every good root, every dharma door ...) are born of compassion.
A: Being a monk is better! Although he (the renunciation) was lost, but when he suffered all the retribution, he could return to practice. Certainly then he also became a renunciate, because he had planted many healthy roots. (An outsider, if compared, is inferior to a renunciate breaking gender).
Looking superficially, the renunciants only know to eat three meals a day, doing something or that. In fact, renunciation is because to eliminate greed, anger, delusion and eliminate karma.
The Venerable said: Everyone who is a monk goes to life together to give birth to the World of Great Bliss in the West; Is that not possible?
6. One inch tall, Macau a ruler
1 When Venerable Quang Kham (83 years old) wanted to enter nirvana, he said: "The nuns in Taiwan cannot suffer - suffering here refers to all kinds of suffering, such as making ascetic things patience, or when you are diligent in reciting the Buddha, prostrating to the Buddha ... and your body suffers, strength - you cannot bear hardship, there is no way to attain it! "
Chapter VII: Renunciation and At Home
In my life, I only eat three meals a day and drift along the stream of life and death.
Practitioners who work are also for inner training. Therefore, the work does not need too much, should not be rushed; nor does anyone need to praise him; no pursuit, desire anything. Only wear the Western Western bliss suit.
A cultivator needs to wash away those dirty structures. Whether tu life is struggling, but peace of mind, lucidity is enough.
When I was in my life, everyone was chasing after the superficial things. Having money is happy, not money is miserable. So calculate every way to make money. Then, when the desire for rebellion arises, the nature of the mind will kiss soothingly, just like a drunkard. Everything in life is not out of pursuit, desire; Everyone is foraging for a living.
Therefore, the renunciant must always generate righteous thoughts, reflect the truth; I have to say the Buddha's Dharma so that I can be liberated.
A monk calls himself "poor" (poor monk), because if the life is as simple as it is, the more spirituality he or she has, the more prosperous and richer! If it is not, let greed exist, refuse to eradicate; then even though you say you are austere, but delusion, defilements from that greed still rage.
Deliver confidence, saying, "I absolutely have to become Buddha!" Saying that means that you have the intention to become a Buddha, then you have the motivation to make yourself diligent in your religious life.
Don't always boast about yourself, because the ego will hinder cultivation.
In real life, you like to wear beautiful clothes, but when you enter the temple, those things are no longer appropriate. At the temple, you wear clothes that no other person wants to wear. Your hot-tempered, angry habit must be modified a bit. Just cultivate, then you will feel through everything.
The life of people is exactly like day dreaming, but at night is also a dream, dreaming of samsara.
Those who practice clothes, food and shelter are not happy at all, but once they have done everything they can sit down to cross with their stills, recite the Buddha's name, practice the religion, be mentally pure, and not be afflicted, which can lead to mindfulness.
Although we renunciate austerities, but if we do, both recite the Buddha's name, then we will be able to meet all of the six paths of samsara for many days. Then, I will be happy to have been ordained.
If you recite Buddha's name enough, enough, wisdom will enlighten you, you will enlighten; I will not be afraid to die because I have a World of Ultimate Bliss in the West.
The ancients taught: "One inch of ethics, nine inches of ghosts" (ie the Tao is few but many ghosts or karma). Therefore, the more a practitioner steps forward, the more evil thoughts and bad habits will emerge from many previous lives. At that time, the more you have to suffer more and more to slowly dissolve the karma. Until death, the golden lotus will appear to take you to the West.
People do not understand how to understand it, so they keep chasing identity, sound, flavor, touch, and dharma every day. But when they came to pass, and when Satan appeared to arrest them, they would not go, nor could they go.
Chapter VIII: Our Realm of Birth
'Once upon a time, no thing,
How to get naked? '
I think the toilet is unbearably foul, so I want to pick up the maggots and drop them in the clear water. But those maggots are more attached to the toilet than dirty, rather than die, but they won't go anywhere!
Good temper, gentle, where to go also be sociable with people, depending on others. But there are limits depending upon the agreement; because for those who do bad things, we cannot follow them freely, but must be steadfast in our stance and principles of action.
Therefore, the bad habit that we are not aware of to correct ourselves is only causing trouble for others. Doubt only harms us, obstructing cultivation. When you see anyone in conflict, conflict, then you do not pour oil into the fire to make things more trouble; but always find a way to reconcile!
In the past, there was a person, when he talked to anyone, he always looked sideways and glanced at him, acting mysterious; make others look at him and they feel like he's talking ill of someone. Actually, that's not it! That is just a bad habit.
Therefore, whatever you do, you must be free and natural; If not, you can bring all sorts of useless troubles to your body!
Formerly in Mainland China (China), the more one tried to practice, the more radical, the more challenging. There are people who intentionally use enough unreasonable attitude to oppress and provoke them. Or someone who saw him almost complete a certain work then vandalized to collapse collapsed. However, it is necessary to see how the person's roots are then challenging. If the test does not have the basic basis, the bravery, then will be born negativity.
In Taiwan, it is difficult to challenge anyone. Because most of the nuns come from the cozy home of their parents, used to being nasty; so for them, only the whole world method is required.
He who has a base and wisdom, kneels down; then Master mercifully taught. Foolish people do wear sandals right away. And whoever has no inborn quality is immediately angry, born of affliction; that Master was wrong, intentionally making him unhappy.
When the injustice heard you talking about him, he immediately argued, asking why you dared to mention him; and then he was born angry, afflicted. He will think of his parents' cozy home, which is to eat well, dress well, go to school ..., the old tons of drama that will make him fall in samsara forever.
Except for defilements, mindfulness (right thinking with truth or Buddhism) does not show money.
When charmed by Lovelorn and Five Lust, all day long people only chase money, beauty, fame, dignity, eating, enjoying and sleeping. Defilements also follow that birth, and then create all kinds of karma.
The others heard that, and scolded them, saying, 'The Venerable is crazy! Bad talk!'
But when Mr. Han Son called the name of a pig, the pig ran to him immediately: confirmed that there is reincarnation already!
There was an official, and then brought the money (earned from doing unrighteous work) to flee abroad. In the end, he had to pay the retribution and reincarnated as a buffalo in Taiwan.
'A life as an evil official,
Nine lives as debt debt.
The buffalo has two horns, and the tiger also has to abstain from fear. Gradually one day the buffalo will also understand. As buffalo plowing now, is also helping me.
Once upon a time, the ancient people taught Chinese respect, hospitality, ceremony, meaning, integrity and wholesale; thus producing many saints. Nowadays, no one teaches such virtuous morals anymore, so the times are chaotic. Therefore, for these scriptures and teachings on ancient morality, we must cherish them.
The life and death of everyone is worried; Rice, whoever eats it is full!
Those in heaven enjoy the merit, but when they start a bad idea, they will be lost. For us, if we have sinned, we only need to sincerely repent from our hearts to be pure like innocent people. The Human Realm is the best realm of spiritual practice: to hear the Buddha Dharma, to know how to cultivate.
A: The notion of evil is just thought in the mind, if there is a penance, there is no bad retribution. If the bad idea has been manifested in the mouth (verbal action), or we have already practiced it (the karmic body), then there will be retribution. Every second we have to repent; having the mind of repentance, a new good idea will arise.
For example, to someone who has an inborn quality, he says: 'If you have sinned, you can repent. Crime created by the mind, so be sincere and repent. ' So then the other person although guilty, but y can repent and then return to purity: no more recidivism, mindfulness of the Chief Justice.
For those who have no root, I say that is not okay. Because teaching them that way, they think that just being guilty creates sin, and the mind of repentance is finished right away! Therefore they are forever unable to sincerely rectify their mistakes, even if they repent forever!
If you accidentally made a mistake, you can repent. Deliberately making the mistake of not being able to repent. Repenting a crime must not exceed three times (that is, not to be repeated more than three times).
If you know how to practice, pray to Buddha a lot, pray for repentance, broadly grow good roots, then you know when Maitreya will be born, you can be your disciple!
During the Han Dynasty, teachers respected ethics, ceremony, meaning, integrity and wholesale. Today, teachers themselves do not finish (not enough virtue). Buddhism today is far inferior to the old days.
Nowadays none of these things are valuable, so society is increasingly chaotic. Therefore, we must have the attitude of respect for the scriptures.
Who can paint a real flying bird today? Everyone depends on machine engineering or processing chemistry!
In Taiwan (China), renunciation is very common, very common; and most of it is based on the academic background that makes the ordination
Today, the Manager-Manager comes to say that your mistake (to invite you to wrap up), you (not only do not listen) still argue with him; What a mistake!
A teacher (Master Truyen Van) stated: 'It is the Buddha-nature of Master who speaks Dharma, enlightens us; not his false body. Remember to think of Him, then develop a strong mind, diligent in spiritual practice! '
If you are at fault then admit yourself, repent, reflect, modify your character and behavior.
Just often attached to the attachment is easy to cause afflictions. You have afflictions, then influence, make others also frustrated, and then the mass are rebellious. So how does 'popular rule' make people harmonious? I have to fix myself, go ahead, then later rule the country and fix people.
Listening to the Dharma is liberated, there is no more self, there is no 'I'. Listening to mundane stories means that there is a story of nonsense, giving rise to a self (there is 'me', there is 'you'; there is 'right', there is 'wrong'). That is a bad seed, later difficult to eradicate.
In the past, some teachers taught sutras, they all saved a part for the listener to learn for themselves and the assembly. They do not lecture, nor tell lengthy fairy tales.
A: I don't have control over myself. Dedicated to reciting the Buddha's name, reciting the precepts, and bowing to the Buddha is enough!
The more you work, the more love you become attached to, the more insecure your mind is. Don't be attached to the good or good of others. Who has the base, when looking at the evil of people, he knows how to apply (avoid making the same mistake) to cultivate more. Those who are not capable will only produce more afflictions.
Want to concentrate, very difficult. Therefore, you must find the mind of undying being, do not seek things to kill outside. We need to find what is now available to us. Everything that can be heard, seen, outside, has nothing to do with us (the true nature).
In Taoism, there are also many cultivators who are very diligent, attesting to being La-Han (such as La-Dong-Tan, Han-Chung-Ly); but their Arhat relatives don't have to end. The La-Han in Buddhism, the paragraph has been two-or-and-private idea (Kien and Tu or two delusion of vision and the mind that makes you do not see the Buddha-nature. This delusion is very profound because it has been formed and nurtured for many generations by the polluted habits and strains that mistakenly possess the 'self' and the ten thousand things), transcending samsara. In Taoism, many of the La-Han relatives didn't have to die, sometimes they lived in the mountains for hundreds of years.
We need to cultivate in essence to liberate samsara. Therefore, we need to give up, don't be afraid of this body suffering. It must be remembered that Buddhism is the practice of cultivating so that the three karmas (body, speech, and mind - actions, words, thoughts) are purified and the six bases are clean, free from suffering, birth, old age, sickness, and death. .
Everything is illusory (like images, scenes appear in soap bubbles), are not real. The work is over. Just accept, hold on forever, only negativity.
