RESOURCES - LEGAL FRANCE.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

 

Talents.  Giving money means giving away your money, possessions and goods. Talents have two types:

a) Internal assets . Are your most precious personal things like your body, your life. Testing internal resources here means sacrificing one's life to save others from danger. In the precursor stories of Shakyamuni Buddha, we have seen many examples of internal merit, like the story of the merchant, while sailing by the boat sunk his own life by letting go of the mast. I'm clinging to make way for the other ill-fated passengers from drowning.
To test the internal wealth is the most beautiful gesture of sacrifice that can only be done by those who are merciful and compassionate. If you still consider your own life to be precious, more important than the life of others, then you can never make this kind of giving.

b) Foreign finance.  Foreign resources are things that we often use such as food, clothing, money, vehicles, fields, houses, etc. To bring those things to those in need, the poor are called foreign talents.

Dharma Bringing good words, reason, right truths, precious teachings of Buddha to show and counsel others; or according to the Buddha's precepts of sincere practice to model for the imitators, abandoning the good, the evil and righteousness are legal solutions. Dharma has a greater value than talent, and it only helps others to be materially needy for a while, or at the very least to save a person's life. But the dharma helps people spiritually, not only for the poor, but also for the rich and the title; not only has a good influence in a period, but sowing good causes for many afterlife. Because of these reasons, so true Buddhists, never miss an occasion without doing dharma practice, both in terms of oral teachings (using the right words to teach Dharma,

Compare 2 types of talent and France.

The Buddha said: 'Of these two types of giving, the dharma giving is on' (Anguttara I). Why? For a variety of reasons:

- Blessing of the Dāra is still in the Realms of Karma (Kàmadhatu) and the deeds of the Dhamma can be in the three realms (Traidhàtuka) or outside the three realms.

- The giving of alms (money, things, etc.) is limited, and the giving of the Dharma has no limit (apramàna), because the money for a long time is gone, and the teachings for ever and ever.

- The retribution of Tai contest also belongs to the illegal property, while the retribution of France belongs to contraband.

- Almsgiving needs to require a lot of effort and effort, while almsgiving only needs intelligence and intelligence.

- Only the alms of Dharma will be able to reap the blessings like the Shravakas (Sravaka), Pratyekabuddha or Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva).

- Only giving alms can lead others to the path of enlightenment (Bodhimàrga).

- We can practice Talent in any age (Kalpa), whether Buddha or not Buddha in life. On the contrary, only in the era when a Buddha was born can we practice Dharma. Therefore, France is more rare than Tai.

We can state many more reasons, but in summary, giving Dhamma will gain more merit than giving.

How do Buddhists practice Dharma experiments?

Most of the Buddhists practice almsgiving such as making charitable donations, making offerings to the temple, helping with clothing and money for families in need, difficulties, relief for floods and the elderly. lonely people, seriously ill people who cannot afford medicine ...

The practice of giving is many, but the practice of giving is limited to the printing of a number of scriptures. Many Buddhists expose scriptures according to the movement, which is no different from Talent.

Most Buddhists often focus on giving, forgetting the dharma part in philanthropic relief. Suppose in the event of a natural disaster or an epidemic, each gift given to the recipient, only a few kilograms of rice, a few boxes of instant noodles, some clothes or money, etc., how long will it help them? .Then hunger is completely hungry. Poverty, lack of pain, suffering, Suffering. There is one utmost importance. It is the suffering of this life, the material suffering or the spiritual suffering that torments people, which people are embracing, struggling with, just because they haven't fully understood. why we suffer? Where does suffering come from? Suffering, and how suffering ceases If the Buddha's teachings are fully understood, and then applied to simple life, this suffering will not only be reduced, but it will also bring confidence to life.

So when we practice Dharma experiments, we try to bring ethics, or truths to preach to others, to make them not to go astray, not to sin, or to be at peace, etc. is to help them escape suffering not only in this life but also in the future. In the Great Tri-Discourse, it is written: "bring the wonderful dharma words (truth) of the Buddha to speak to others, that is called Dharma practice."
In addition, if you see someone more than yourself that you not only do not envy, hate but also know the joy of merit, or give words of encouragement and praise, etc., that's also a real method. practice France.

For example, in recent times almost everyone in the world has been turning their eyes towards the land of the rising sun, to pray, to encourage, to relay and to comfort etc., which has reduced them. partly the pain of loss to soon return to a peaceful and peaceful life, which is not only a very effective method of Dharma practice, but also very humane.

In short, the dharma is to bring truth and wisdom to preach to others, to make them give up evil to do good, create peace and seek a life of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
In addition, we reduce the jealousy and narrow selfishness, but instead with encouragement, praise and encouragement, it is also a method of Dharma practice. Confucius also taught, "When we see good people, we should try to learn how to be equal to them. On the contrary, if you find the person unworthy, you should ponder, or reconsider yourself. ” When we constantly revisit ourselves, we become spiritually progressive.

So can see, just have enough ability of material money plus solidarity, we can be able to perform to help others in times of hardship - Talent.
However, this is only for those who have kindness, altruism and love for others as if they loved others. And for the men who despise and disdain, even if one of them doesn't give up, this is a very difficult job for them.
For the Dharma experiment, this is not a simple job. Because we not only have the knowledge, the intellect and the altruism to be sufficient, it is important that it takes patience and time to preach the doctrine to them.
It can be said that in both the Talented and Dharma Experiments, the Dharma is a job that must be persistent, regular, long-lasting and even must be "skillful" in order to perform.
However, spiritual help is an invaluable asset, especially for those who are in need of spiritual help. Because the spirit it plays a very important role, sometimes just a word, or advice at the right time, the right place and it will work for their entire life.
Especially in the industrial age, with today's busy life and pressure, an encouragement, or a morality sentence will make them reduce a lot of pressure.
In today's society, many people are materially well-off, but sometimes their spirit is so empty, confused and indeterminate, they really feel insecure in many aspects. For example, how much is the money spent, or now the fortune is trillions of dong, but overnight nothing?
Oh! It is the anxiety that piles up the anxiety. Therefore, let us not view them as "the sea", never alienate them, because the wider the sea is lonely. Therefore, spiritual teachers and spiritual teachers are very necessary for them.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.14/6/2020.
