Hell is so miserable, there is no freedom, beings falling into this world suffer endlessly without ceasing, so there is no time to consider and contemplate, so it is not tu.

In the Buddha's house, there are three lines of suffering: hell, hungry ghosts and animals. If taking refuge in the Buddha and then not falling into hell, taking refuge in the Dharma and then not falling into the hungry ghosts, taking refuge in the monks and then not falling into the animals. If the Buddha can do that, then he does not advise us, "please light the torch on your own and go with the Dharma."

Five species share the same or the six paths of samsara are fully in humanity, but mankind has the advantage over the other five species by thinking, being aware of everything good, bad, right and wrong, happy and sad, compassion hate and often taste the sweet or bitter taste of life.

Therefore, the Buddha appeared in this realm because human beings have enough conditions to practice enlightenment and enlightenment. The remaining five species cannot afford to become Buddhas.

Buddhism was born over 2600 years, experiencing the ups and downs of the era but never shed blood, hatred, destruction, murder, but Buddhism only helps people to live with knowledge. and love more with the spirit of compassion and joy, with selflessness, selflessness. That is the advantage of humankind, knowing how to apply the Buddha's teachings to everyday life, to lead a peaceful and happy life.

Hell is so miserable, there is no freedom, beings falling into this world suffer endlessly without ceasing, so there is no time to consider and contemplate, so it is not tu.

From a practical perspective, we see there is also hell on earth, whoever commits murder is chained to a dungeon, the heaviest of which is the death penalty. This convicted criminal will not eat well, sleep restless, night and day swell, fear he will not know when the death god will pick him up, when he hears the door opening he is scared of the soul because everyone is greedy, afraid died. One day passed as they celebrate one day because they still keep hoping to live to make life again. Still others, from life sentences to a life sentence from one month to two or thirty years and the lightest sentence is suspended.

Looking at the perspective of hell on earth, we can also imagine hell in each person's mind, that is the mind attempting to harm people, animals or afflictions, known as mental hell. 

From the perspective of Buddhist philosophy, we see countless, countless other hells such as emergency room hospitals, every family's kitchens, pubs, slaughterhouses, butcher markets fish, pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, marine species and finally net fish catchers. Every day, countless species are slaughtered to provide service to humankind.

Looking at the perspective of hell on earth, we can also imagine hell in each person's mind, that is the mind attempting to harm people, animals or afflictions, known as mental hell. If a practitioner reaches enlightenment and liberation, the mind will be calm and peaceful, even though the body is subjected to abuse and pain.

Hungry ghosts are hungry ghosts that find food that cannot be eaten by greedy, selfish, and sympathetic karma. Seen from the perspective of life, we see ghosts are also in human lack of food, poverty, lust, excessive desire that should not be suffering miserably. Hungry ghosts are not included in the poor but also to the rich because the ambition is too great, not as desired also to suffer as usual.

In the six paths of samsara, each has different circumstances and life. The animals we see very clearly are the winged type flying in the air, they live in groups, in groups and survive through the food of the vast natural forest in the wild.

The second group has a way of life thanks to the cultivation of humankind, most of their lives affect the development of humanity. If people exist and develop more and more, there is a danger of destroying other species and destroying nature to serve human life. So do the terrestrial species, there are species that live on the natural mountains and forests and they can swallow each other in large and small rape.

In addition, animals live near humans, subject to human upbringing and, depending on their ability, are subject to the command of work, service to humans, and there are species raised to provide human food. species. So do the aquatic creatures, they are also captured and nourished by humans as food for humanity. Animals of the ancient period lived freely and comfortably on the vast, green, fertile natural hills and mountains, which were rarely killed by humans. Some animals are affected by human merit, so animals that are loved by others have a comfortable life, and are killed by humans.

In the Buddha's house, there are three lines of suffering: hell, hungry ghosts and animals. 

Humans domesticated animals for their service such as camels, donkeys, horses, buffaloes and cows to transport and plow. Although hunting, catching and trapping are not significant, and there is not much for raising animals for human food. However, the human world today is so crowded that the demand for catching animals is not enough to provide for humans, so humans must raise more poultry and animals by modern technology to meet meet food needs. In addition, the animals also suffer from devouring each other, strong weak rape, large small rape should always live in misery, stray and hate each other.

The Buddha saw clearly this world must be so close to preserve life according to the principle of predestined birth of big rape, weak rape, devouring and killing each other without end. This world has wars, tsunamis, earthquakes, natural disasters, floods, fires, constant epidemics, all because people don't know how to uphold the five moral things. Buddhists at home thanks to keeping the precepts clean and helping others when needed, should gradually end the mind of killing that arouse a broad mind of compassion. Thus, there is no longer being lost in the three evil ways, hungry ghosts and animals.

But if we have blessed to help humanity without faith in the Three Jewels and do not keep the precepts clean, see that we are the helpers, the recipients, the things that give birth to attachment and attachments , sentient beings, so easy to anger and anger, whoever does not follow his will easily resentment hate.

There are very practical things that no one will acknowledge that we have knowledge, we have thoughts, we know thinking, we know how to contemplate, we have a lucid perception if we are hard to learn, think, contemplate. Experiences and practices. People are too greedy, so whatever they want to do; Therefore, greed is more greed, not greed is born resentment, hatred that seeks to destroy each other. Some people think of the temple as taking refuge and the Buddha will give everything to them, so they ask others to sign up and take the leaves. Because in the faction, there is a saying of taking refuge in Buddha and from going to hell, taking refuge in Dharma and from falling into hungry ghosts, taking refuge in Sangha and from falling down on animals.

In the Buddha's house, there are three lines of suffering: hell, hungry ghosts and animals. If taking refuge in Buddha then from falling into hell, taking refuge in France and from falling into hungry ghosts, taking refuge in Sangha and from falling into animals. If the Buddha can do that, then he does not advise us, "light up the torch on your own and go with the Dharma." The Dharma here means the teaching of Buddha, if we want not to fall into hell, we must not be angry, not hostile, not fanatical, not deluded, wrong, not robbed, murdered, not killed birth, harm animals, do not steal, cheat ...

As we all know, Buddha is a fully enlightened being, without delusion and suffering. Refuge Buddha means returning to a pure, lucid path. Like some people because of false beliefs, delusion, fanaticism that kill people to go to heaven, so they terrorize, kill, barbaric. This world used to have such people, why not go to hell? They thought it would be natural for them to do so.

Also, when we take the vow to take refuge in the Buddha, that is, we must deeply believe in cause and effect and be determined to preserve not causing bad causes, so as to gradually come to enlightenment and liberation. But in the process of cause and effect, it requires us to constantly strive, to try to practice letting go and perseverance, perseverance in practice, in order to receive the results as the Buddha taught.

Refuge France from falling into hungry ghosts, hungry ghosts, hungry ghosts. Because a Buddhist monk must have a big heart, compassion, love, equality with everyone. When we have compassion, whoever suffers and is unhappy, we always seek to share and help. Because of our compassion, we should not take the risk of stealing, robbing, deceiving, but also ready to help others with human love in life.

When we have planted good seeds, we still have to try to maintain endurance and long-term protection, and we will get good results. If we sow bad causes, we must fall into misery, which is a fact. 

Because of our great compassion, we have no greedy, shabby, stingy, selfish and cruel mind towards anyone. Because we didn't sow things like that, we should never fall down to starve demons. Because we have sown good things, how can we bear bad fruit? Therefore, when taking refuge in the Dharma, you avoid being hungry, thanks to knowing how to cultivate human love and saving animals with all your heart.

That is why when we take refuge, we must practice the Buddha's teaching, in order to develop a broad compassionate heart, and together share the joy and suffering in the spirit of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, and commit ourselves to life. serving sentient beings by 33 body reactions.

Refuge Increases and then from fallen to animals. Why? Because animals are out of ignorance. Buddha has entered Nirvana long ago, now remaining monks are inheriting the path of Buddha, learning, practicing, and guiding us to know what is good, good, what is evil, Where is sin, which is blessed, which is righteous, where is evil. When the monks have shown us well, we must be wise, wise, avoid sin, do good, avoid evil, do good and help share. Thus, from cause to effect we do not create the cause of delusion then how can we fall down as animals for living. We come to Buddhism to cultivate, that is to fix, to abandon, to leave bad habits, so the Buddha taught cause and effect as the basis of the conversion practice. When we have planted good seeds, we still have to try to maintain endurance and long-term protection, and then we will get good results. If we sow bad causes, we must fall into misery, which is a fact. Thus, true Buddhists must know wisely to choose good causes to sow, to avoid doing evil deeds. That is we know to follow the Buddha's teachings.

So, when we come to Buddhism, if we know how to cultivate, we will enjoy all the benefits of being good, and if we don't know how to cultivate, we have to take suffering.

Initially cultivating according to the Buddha is taking refuge in the Three Jewels, that is, we create three good, good and righteous causes.

The first is the wise cause to help us not be dull, dark obscured, so that we do not fall into hell.

The second cause is due to compassion and love for humanity with an understanding heart, so it is never to fall into a hungry ghost.

The third cause is due to contemplation, contemplation, consideration, so we generate wisdom, thus never falling into the animal realm.

These three main people are like a three-legged peak that helps us to stand firmly on the path of cultivation, not to be beaten, the storms will obstruct us through our pure, clear, compassionate and intelligent minds, so we transform and enlighten all animals. .

To avoid hell, hungry ghosts, animals, we must observe the precepts of not killing people, harming animals, not stealing, not committing adultery, not lying, cheating and not drinking alcohol or using toxic substances. such as drugs, drugs, we avoid being resentful by the enemies, from killing people, from ignorance and imprisonment. Maintaining all such precepts, we are now not killed by haters, stalking people, not imprisoned for breaking the law, not being sabotaged by the family's happiness, nor deceived by anyone. , harm and not delusion, darkness should lead a peaceful, happy life.

So, when we come to Buddhism, if we know how to cultivate, we will enjoy all the benefits of being good, and if we don't know how to cultivate, we have to take suffering. Those who want to go to good places and enjoy good things must stop doing evil. From karmic to fruition there is no random, nor anyone blessing, tragic for all.

Those who do a lot of merit without following the Triple Gem and not keeping the precepts clean are entitled to rich fruits, high dignity and leadership, but many selfish greed for their families and their countries. sometimes he wants to invade another country to seize natural resources and enslave humans. In the Buddhist house called A-tu-la, the history of the human world has clearly shown this to us.

The human world, never true democracy because we create karmic retribution, the better people are, the more dictatorship, only those who know how to cultivate virtue, deeply believe in cause and effect, can be rich in taste. tha, also all because of personal interests, family interests and beyond the interests of the country, so the world is always fighting, killing each other is that!

The Buddha because of his great compassion and mercy for everyone should advise us to deeply believe in cause and effect, to respect the Three Jewels and to keep the precepts clean, to avoid an accident of slaughtering and killing each other for our own interests. . It is a fact that the human world is less concerned about, so the war goes on without end. Human killings lead to revenge on borrowed wars, and the war continues to lead people to resentment and hatred, killing and killing each other mercilessly.

As true Buddhists, we need to contemplate this place carefully so that we will no longer be misled by the retribution and will love each other with a knowing heart, selflessness, selflessness. A person who knows how to keep the five precepts clean like not killing, stealing, committing adultery, lying to others and using harmful toxins for himself such as alcohol, drug addiction will surely live peacefully and happily. Blessed right now.

And going further, which family, which country knows to preserve the five precepts completely and has respect for the Triple Gem, then we will live peacefully right here in this world without seeking where far. We will never be harmed by wars, tsunamis, tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, unexpected accidents and incurable diseases because the cause and effect are very fair, right here is the ultimate bliss. .END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.19/7/2020.
