The wishes of the Buddhas are born to wish all sentient beings to become Buddhas. But one thing is that beings in this world "Ta she" is not, so Buddhas have to preach many different types of Sutras, to help sentient beings according to their nature and time, but to choose for themselves yourself a proper practice. Although the Buddha teaches us many different ways of practice, but in general, only three vehicles are the basis for that:  Hinayana ,  Mahayana  and  Mahayana . If you are a disciple of Buddha, then you must know that the Buddha taught Hinayana and the Mahayana are just means of practice, helping us to follow that practice to advance to the Buddhahood.

In fact, Buddhas from the past until now just want to teach sentient beings a path of  redundancy  . Mahayana means practice directly into a Buddha, without having to argue. That practice is the  Pure Land practice . Because only the Pure Land method can have that miraculous function. But one thing is suffering in beings in this world She is based on nature, but the Pure Land is too high and unbelievable. If the Buddhas come here to teach us to have a Pure Land practice only, then you can only save sentient beings with  good roots ,  merit  , and  predestined relationships. come on. As for sentient beings without all of the above, Buddhas will not be able to save them. That is why the Buddhas have to teach many different austerities, giving sentient beings the opportunity to cultivate merit, so that the future will have enough wisdom to reach Buddhahood.

Just like in real life, if from Saigon to Hanoi but only a means of traveling by plane, there will be many people who are not eligible to go to Hanoi. That's why we have created many different means such as: Airplanes, cars, ships, trains ... Thanks to many different vehicles, we all have the opportunity to go to Hanoi. While we can all go to Hanoi, everyone's blessings are different. If people have money to go by plane, they can come to Hanoi quickly and gently. As for those who do not have a lot of money to travel by car, they will come to Hanoi to take a lot of time, suffer miserably and sometimes be in danger. And people who don't have money to walk, it will take a lot of time, suffer a lot of hardships and be in danger. In short, the merit of each person is different, so the way to Hanoi is also different. Just like the rain falls evenly, but big trees will absorb a lot of water, while small trees will absorb less water. Buddha's Dharma is the same. If our identity is low, we will understand the dharma Hinayana . If our identity is high, we will understand the Mahayana dharma  . If our identity is higher, we will understand the  Buddhadharma .

There is a truth that we need to know, that is: Buddhism has no dharma. Dharma door means the method of spiritual practice to argue. Buddhism does not have controversy, but Buddhism is the direct religion to receive back the nature to become a Buddha, so Buddhism is known as  the noble miracle . But if the Buddhas come here to teach us to have a dharma practice that only becomes a Buddha, then we won't have enough wisdom to believe. Why? Because the Pure Land is a noble and unbelievable discipline, only the Buddhas can understand the truth of the Pure Land method. Because only the Buddhas could understand, after Shakyamuni became a Buddha under the Bodhi tree, he immediately complained,  " It's too hard, too hard! ”. Why is Buddha so hard? Is because he saw the identity of beings in this world We are ignorant, crazy, but the direct practice of becoming a Buddha is too sublime, so that he has lamented to be too hard, too hard. 

But then because compassion wants to save all sentient beings, Buddha must use many austerities to lead sentient beings from low to high. The basic means that the Buddha first theory, that is: the  Four Noble Truths ,  Eightfold Path ,  Twelve Causes ,  Eighteen Precepts , etc.  human life ,  mind  and  samsara . Then after some time, when Buddha saw the nature of sentient beings being more knowledgeable, he taught the  Prajnaparamita  to help sentient beings understand the "emptiness" of all things. Then came the last stage , When Buddha saw the predestined relationship as a Buddha of all beings, he taught about  Nirvana  and finally he advised sentient beings to take the vow of Amitabha's realm to attain  Buddhahood .

In summary, during the 49 years of the Buddha's sermon, the aim was to bring all sentient beings towards the Pure Land practice. Because the Pure Land is the direct practice of becoming Buddhas of Buddhas for three generations. The Hinayana and Mahayana dharma s are just methods of helping sentient beings to repair, to evolve to become  human beings , to be  heaven , to be  saints  and to be  Bodhisattvas , but they cannot be  Buddhas.. Because we want to be Buddha, we have to make a vow to be born in the Pure Land of Buddha Amitabha to attain Buddhahood. That's why the Bodhisattvas' Bodhisattvas in the "World Tibetan Flower" such as: Avalokiteshvara, Mahamudra, Venerable Man, Manjushri, etc. must finally take the vows of Buddha's Ultimate Bliss realm. Amitabha to attain Buddhahood. If you do not believe, please find the " Sutra of the Avatamsaka Sutra " and carefully study in the product " Samantabhadra Samadhi " in the direction of Bliss, it will be clear. 

Let us now look into the most important things Shakyamuni had mystified nearly three thousand years ago. Just by understanding the mystical words of the Buddha taught in the Sutta, we will understand how the Pure Land method for Buddhas and sentient beings is important.

1. Buddha said his teachings would stay in this world for 12,000 years. But during those 12,000 years, there will be three different periods of change: the  upper Dharma ,  the Dharma,  and the  Dharma .
2. Buddha said after he entered Nirvana, the first thousand years were called the Upper Dharma period  . After the second millennium, it is called the  Dharma period  and after the third millennium, it is called the  Dharma period . Thus, the Dharma-ending period has all ten thousand years.
3. The Buddha said that during the Upper Dharma  period  ,  Zen  was greatly accomplished  (that is, the first thousand years) . Through the period of  the Dharma  ,  Zen  was still achieved, but less  (ie the second millennium) . Through the time of the  Dharma-ending  , the  Pure Land  is attained  (that is, from the third millennium onwards) .

 Through the above mystical words of the Buddha above, we can see that  Zen  was only achieved in the first two thousand years. And the  Pure Land  is achieved until more than 10 thousand years later. If we let go of our attachments, we will see that the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha only stayed in this world for the first two thousand years. And ten thousand years later belongs to the teachings of Buddha Amitabha. This shows us that the purpose of Shakyamuni Buddha appeared here to spread the teachings of Buddha Amitabha. And His teachings were only a means in the beginning of our formation.

In fact, not only Shakyamuni Buddha appeared here to spread the teachings of Amitabha Buddha, but all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from beginningless time till now, must propagate the teachings of A Mi Buddha Momentum. Meaning that every Buddha born from the past to the present, has the same education. That is, during the first time of formation, you must use the means of cultivation, to be an example and give sentient beings an opportunity to cultivate merit. But after the initiation is complete, you must lead beings towards the Bliss of Amitabha Buddha, in order to attain Buddhahood. Just hearing it is hard to believe, but this is thousands of times true, only we do not have enough wisdom to understand the truth of that truth. Later Maitreya Buddha was born, he also taught like Buddha Shakyamuni no different. If you are a Buddhist disciple,

 we have the blessing of our ancestors and grandparents, so we can now fully enjoy the Scriptures of the three vehicles. This means that our Vietnam now has the full text of  the Hinayana ,  Mahayana  and  Buddha vehicles . Yet we do not cherish learning and practicing, on the contrary, we are standing here and there looking at the mountain. Because we are not in peace, we find enough ways to study abroad in Buddhist countries around the world. If we go to study in countries with Mahayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism to learn more, then that's okay. But we should not study abroad in countries with only Theravada Buddhism. Why? Because if we go to study abroad in Theravada Buddhist countries, it's no different than we are putting gold to get copper and root to get tops.

There is one thing that we need to know, that is: If up to this point, Vietnam Buddhism is the world's first. It sounds unbelievable, but these are thousands of times true. Why? Because how many countries in the world today have all the Sūtras of the three redundant books? In addition, even if they have all the Sūtras of the three vehicles, they have not had enough  good roots  and  blessings  to practice Pure Land as much as our Vietnam. If up to this point, then Vietnam has 80% of Buddhists in and outside the country are practicing the Pure Land method  (ie excess Buddhism). The good roots, merit and predestined relationships, in the world no other country can match. In the Buddhist Sutta,  "Whoever believes in the Pure Land Method, he or she is not an ordinary person but a Buddha who is about to become ".  Compared to the racial aspect, the Chinese have more scriptures than the Vietnamese and they practice the Pure Land method more often than we do. But if you compare countries one by one, the percentage of Vietnamese Buddhists practicing Pure Land is greater than that of Buddhist countries in the world.

Through the analysis above, we try to calculate the current Vietnamese people around the globe, how many Buddhas are about to become? This number is true that we cannot count. That is not to say that at present in Vietnam we still have Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from the Pure Land who have come here. If there are no Buddhas and Bodhisattvas coming from the Pure Land to come here, then what can we do in Vietnam to enjoy such great merit? In fact, not only Vietnam has Buddha and Bodhisattva from the Pure Land incarnation to come, but many Buddhist countries in the world are also having Buddha and Bodhisattva from the Pure Land incarnation. When reading here I know you will ask , "How can we know which country is having Buddha and Bodhisattva from the Land of Great Bliss?" In fact, this is easy to know, not difficult. You just need to see which country is developing strongly in the Pure Land method, then that country is definitely having Bodhisattva Buddha and Bodhisattva come. Why? Because only the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas come from Pure Bliss to propagate the Pure Land method.

In addition, this time is the time of Dharma Dharma, the time when the Pure Land Dharma Method is accomplished, so Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have to come here to gather the Pure Land Sutta and to teach beings to understand the truth of Pure Land Method. In short, because the predestined to be Buddha of sentient beings in this world I have matured, so the way to be inspired by the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from the Pure Land to come here to teach. As a result, over the years, the new Pure Land method has developed in the world every day. This shows us that what Shakyamuni Buddha wrote in the Sutta nearly three thousand years ago has now become a reality. 

One thing we have to be very careful about is that: If our identity is understood only by the Hinayana dharma, then we will only teach it within the scope of the Hinayana dharma. If our identity does not understand Mahayana and Mahayana, it is best to remain silent. We should not be infatuated with defamation of the Buddhist Sutras, because doing so would only harm us to hell.

As for the issue of studying abroad, we should go to the Pure Land of Buddha Amitabha as the most vindictive. Because of that, we will quickly become a Buddha without worrying about being deceived. And here if we study abroad in the wrong place, in the right place, we will be led by the Maou. Why do we dare to say that? Because for many years, we have seen many friends after going to study abroad in Buddhist countries, they all fall into the slander of defaming the Buddha Sutras and giving birth to their hearts. After all, the more you go abroad to study, the more you fall into the magic world without knowing it yourself. Is it pitiful to ask such a question? Please think again.

 

               A. I Ê N  BATTERING O

Study abroad in the Hinayana countries

Go home to defame Buddha Tathagata

Intellectually study such as testimony

Misleading wisdom no one else can match.

The doctrinal deflection claims that

There was not in the West, nor did Buddha

Infinite Life Sūtra

Created by the Unforthgoing One, Buddha does not inherit.

Given that the ancients said harrowing

Making the Earth Sutra Pitaka inherited outside

Stubbornly advised them to keep their hearts

Do not believe the Sutras do not inherit.

Buddha heard sorrow in his heart

Sad for Ta theory and in the Sangha.

Hearing through everyone was shocked

Gold mixed, Sangha in danger.

 

                  DELUSION

Dharma teaching forty-nine years

Just by holding the leaf in His hand.

Dharma is not theory as a leaf forest

Do you understand the entire handful of leaves?

Or do you understand only a few leaves?

A few leaves for  the end  ?

Some leaves for  Buddhism  ?

A few leaves give me  wisdom  ? END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.16/7/2020.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.
