Help sentient beings attain no-self.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

 The Buddha learners are often taught to break the ego, because it is the self that causes us to sink into the sea of ​​afflictions and samsara. Once the ego is no longer, anytime and anywhere is Nirvana.

Self means me, me, or me, and the self is mine, mine or mine. We ordinary people understand that self is made up of the five aggregates: materiality, feeling, perception, action, and consciousness.

The Buddha saw that sentient beings have falls and falls, so they depend on it depending on that explanation: "Like hands clapping together, they make sounds." In the same way, the so-called self is actually a combination of the five aggregates of karma and craving, not the self. The Buddha said that: There is no self nor self, it is the "self-expectation", but ordinary beings who love their bodies are real so they love their bodies, defend their ideas, protect their possessions such as houses, gardens, cars, wives and children ... Because of this ego, the birth of hundreds of thousands of afflictions and suffering is lost in the sea of ​​samsara.

There are at least 4 forms of ego:

1 - Accept the five aggregates is us (accept ego).

2-Accept the body of our five aggregates (accept the falls)

3 - Accepting the five aggregates is not us, nor is it ours but in what we have the body, and in the body there is the self.

4 - Accept the universe is us, we are the universe, the universe is permanent, is eternal.

When it comes to attachment, we must know that there are two things: attachment and attachment. As for these two attachments, people are not discerning. Ego is not aware that the human body is due to the five aggregates temporarily in harmony, which we keep claiming to have this real body, and thus produces defilement, delusion, joy, sorrow and suffering. Also the law is not knowing all the dharma is born of predestination: everything is like virtual, like chemical, at first yes, at first and inherent does not exist forever. Yet we continue to accept as real, forever ... There is a perception that the afflictions of human suffering are caused by the thought that recognizes the self, that is, the thought that arises and wants to eliminate the self This idea is to be treated with legal ideas, that is contemplation of the law, because they think that there is no self but there is dharma.

The self does not have but there are thoughts that make up the self. When contemplating like that, we will not see that our self arises and falls away, but only the arising and falling away of dhammas. According to this concept, not clinging to self, but stuck to the dharma. They think that the dhammas are impermanent, are non-self, which makes people suffer. Right color, sound, flavor, taste, touch, and dhamma are crazy phenomena, so, you must leave them to have a realm without suffering and suffering, that is Nirvana.

But in the viewpoint of Mahayana Buddhism, the dhammas, the factors that give us an idea of ​​the self, are also absent. Neither does the self nor the dharma, and the aforementioned Nirvana is just a Nirvana becoming, not a true Nirvana. The Buddha taught: "Hey, good man! As people say: there is the sea, there is a big sea, there are rivers, there are big rivers, there are mountains, there are big mountains ... Nirvana is the same: there is Nirvana and there is Nirvana. What is Nirvana? As people are hungry to eat a little rice, called happy. Just like the sick person is healed, it is called peaceful ... All the above peace, also called Nirvana, but not called Great Nirvana because it is in relative range. "

Thus, Nirvana is really the Great Nirvana, consisting of four virtues: Ordinary, Lac, Self, and Pure. Great Nirvana is also Buddha, the Middle Way. Because sentient beings do not see the Buddha-nature, they are impermanent, non-lost, non-self, and impure. And Buddha-nature, that Nirvana is still constant in living beings, but since ancient times, beings have been covered by countless afflictions and cannot see it.

So how can we get to the realm of real Nirvana? It is to leave all concepts, the concept of self and self, about yes and no, about ordinary and fragment, in and out, to overcome all the treaties of the phenomenal world such as good and evil, good and evil, yes, samsara and nirvana to make the mind pure. If accept is meant to be regular, accept is not a paragraph, accept also not to be frontier, and accept is not without is not ants.

Provisional translation:

Are not all.

This means that all things in this world are caused by conditions, and due to conditions, they are also destroyed, so they do not count themselves. Because it is not self-nature, all is nothing. If all things are self-sufficient, then they don't need to wait for the conditions to be in harmony with arising or passing away. Because there is no fixed personality, it is called no, and also because it is not recommended that everything and everything arise and disappear. "No" here should not be misunderstood as all empty, nothing at all. All phenomena arise depending on conditions; but predestined karmic origination and causal arising are not really just temporary so it is called fake name, fake yes. All things are just fake and also the meaning of the middle way.

Middle Way means to transcend the concept of yes and no. No, pretending to be the middle name are the three names of a reality. But when referring to a reality, a name also implies the other two names, for example, the car in front of it is due to a combination of many factors and is called, or named. It is a pseudonym pretending to distinguish it from other things, which is itself untrue and is also faithful.

For self, self, and ego, we should understand that they are just concepts, made up of many factors and conditioned by conditions. Because of predestined harmony, they have no nature and therefore it is not. Seeing the nature of the self is not that we also see the nature of Nibbana is no, being the middle way. What is not transcendent all categories have and are not as a means of destroying all the attachments, prejudices as well as wrong views that overcome all ego and dhammas; the cause of disturbing suffering and samsara.

The path of the Buddha taught is the middle way, transcending the view of wrong treatment of the phenomenal world. Buddha depending on the predestined being that explains; Seeing beings being attached to self means attachment to often, Buddha says don't accept attachment to ordinary beings. Upon hearing the Buddha say that, sentient beings cling to the passage and so on, Buddha broke all the attachments of sentient beings to lead them to something inconceivable, which is due to sentient beings' own experience. experience) it. Writing here, remembering the Western philosophy: "It is, but not it, that's it", this philosophy has also nearly reached the selflessness of Buddhism. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERYVIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.20/6/2020.
