A: Humanity is compassion for people and love for things. Compassion is broader than that; have a compassionate righteousness with someone who has no affinity with me, that is the pronoun; considering everyone the same body, that is great compassion. So, compassion implies goodness in it. The cause is also called "the good seed," which means the seed of goodness is constantly growing in heaven and earth. The nucleus is also called "the Buddha's precept," which is the seed of the Buddhist Precepts. Q: TT is what? What is the difference between Mahayana and Hinayana? A: Excess is a vehicle used to transport people. "Mahayana" is a large car, carrying many people; and "cottage" is a small car that can carry fewer people. The nature of each being is different, the tendencies are different; hence some people like "big cars," others like "small cars." Actually, it's all just a car ; should not be here that discriminate mind. Question: What is the difference between the Bodhisattva and the Bodhisattva? A: "Arhat" and "Bodhisattva" are both names, because human wisdom is not the same. Bo-slaps want to benefit others, while La-Han only practice for his own; But that is just one stage of the spiritual path. When you were a noble, you never knew the realm of the Arhat. If you go back and forth, guessing like this and that, it's just a waste of time. How do you imagine the Bodhisattva's realm? And what is the realm of Arhat? Can you imagine that it is impossible to reach their realm! Like going to school, not yet enrolled, but you think: “What subject will I study after school? What books will I study in high school? What major will I study in college ...? " No matter how much you imagine, without effort, you will never graduate! You do not have to worry about what you will study in Secondary or College level; but just regularly go to school, work hard every day, study diligently. By now, you will study that subject, that discipline, and naturally understand everything. Now, guessing is just a waste of spirit, but also "eating full, nothing to do!" Question: There are many who think Buddhism is a "negative" religion. Please explain this point of view, Venerable Master. A: To say that Buddhism is "negative" then that is a wrong view! Buddhism is actually very positive, but that positivity is not understandable by everyone. As in the period of turmoil, confusion, madness, scattered in a period where many people all day panic, anxiety, restless night, fear of the mind, the Buddhist monastics are still safe. maintenance course, as often practice Dao, fulfill a duty to do! Let's take the activity at the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas as an example: Based on Buddhist tradition, people wake up every day from 3:30 a.m., four o'clock in the morning. After that, everyone used their personal practice: prostrating to the Buddha, meditating, chanting, or praying ceremony ... Think about it, people who wake up so early, diligent, austere practice like that, but Is it "negative"? From three:30 a.m. to half a.m. no one had time to rest for those people, if they didn't translate the scriptures, they would come to class to study, no one would take a nap. Every day, they practice diligently and vigorously, but few people know or have seen them, so some people think that the Tao's behavior is "negative!" Question: What is Tam-Muoi ? A: Tam-Muoi is Sanskrit samadhi , translated into Chinese as Dinh - Right Dinh, Right Life. Right concentration is different from wrong concentration; Right life is not like wrong life. Having Right Concentration , we are always " like motionless, will usually be clear," always clear and clear. Right-feeling means that what we receive are "righteous", not due to conditions, nor from greed and enjoyment. What deserves to be received receives; what should not be received is not received. Definition means "motionless." Whenever you "move", it is not "concentration", that is "tranquility". The University book teaches: Having decided to be calm, There is still peace, There is a new (private) thought , There is (from) the new acquisition (into). That is the doctrine of Confucius about Tinh, Tinh, An, Lu, Dac . Dinh also means Tam-Muoi. Therefore, if you want to learn the Dharma, you must first understand what concentration is . Question: Mr. Ton Trung Son (Sun Dat Tien, founder of Democracy of China), said: “Buddhism is a humanitarian from salvation. Buddhism is the mother of philosophy. Buddhist research can complement science's flaws. “Why does Mr. Ton Trung Son speak like that? A: Buddhism is a true science. So a few thousand years ago, when science was not yet developed, the Buddha taught: "Buddha contemplated a bowl of water, See eighty-four thousand (bacteria) germs. If you do not recite this Mantra, Like eating living beings! " From this point it can be seen that at the time of the Buddha's life, although he did not have a microscope or magnifying glass, he knew that there were 84,000 germs in a glass of water. However, until today that truth has been proven! Then we know that the wisdom of man and Buddha is too different! Mr. Ton Trung Son said that "Buddhism can complement the shortcomings of science." In my opinion, Buddhism can not only complement the shortcomings of science but also embrace science; science does not include Buddhism. Science is only part of Buddhism. You open the Tripitaka of the Twelve Divine Sutras and you will find that any science is in it. The things that science today does not understand, the Hoa Nghiem Sutra has clearly presented long ago! Question: In the Heart Sutra there is a question: " Sac is visible, not materiality." The character (Ãẩ) here is a reference to the beauty of women or men? Or is it meant to be anything other than male and female beauty? Please tell the Venerable Master. A: Beauty of both men and women are included in the word color does. In the vacuum, there is magic, in the magic right there is the vacuum. Because the vacuum without "not" should be called magic-friendship; magic-Huu without "being" should be called vacuum! " Virtuous manifestation " means not looking outside but seeking. Happiness is inherent in your own nature, there is no need to cling to external form? Because in the "no" there is true bliss, so "matter" is also "no," but "no" is also "material"! Living Question: There is only one person in the house who learns the Dharma, so how can we eliminate the obstacles to make the whole family follow the Buddha and their relatives all benefit from the Dharma? A: If you keep sincerely in spiritual practice, people will naturally be touched and believe. Question: If husband and wife get divorced, can't children become human and become successful? A: Yes! Can't you see the children of the world, the children of the difficult kind of society? The mistake is due to the failure of parents to fulfill the responsibility of teaching their children. Because family education and school education are not coordinated, completely failed, so your child is spoiled. Then they are controlled by television and computer (com- puter), robbing them of their freedom. Freedom is promoted everywhere in Western society. However, as far as I can see, it is just the order of freedom of blindness, confusion and confusion; an order without reason. Therefore, there is absolutely no freedom! Question: When I was young, my parents treated me very badly. Do they deserve me to serve as a filial servant? A: "Love is for the whip." Most parents want their children to be human and successful. Because you want you to become a good person, your parents have to scold and treat you like that. Question: I have a lot of cockroaches and ants in my house. Buddhism teaches not to kill, so how should I deal with? A: You clean, sweep, clean, don't leave dirt, then naturally there won't be cockroaches, ants! Question: According to Buddhism, should we burn paper money, votive paper or not? A: First of all, you should be wary: Do demons really need money? What do they use the money for? Buy food, buy clothes, buy a house with large doors? If the devil needs money, only the Chinese devils have money to spend because they burn paper money for it; And in the West without this custom, could the Western devils all become poor demons? This is obviously due to our traffickers taking advantage of the superstitions of ignorant people, talking about burning paper money, paper airplanes, paper houses ... for self-seeking. In fact, this practice is irrational, and neither is it Buddhism. Question: If I leave my name in the evil religion, will my body and mind be affected? A: Your mind that district, so evil does not have anything, then where is the district . If your mind is evil, everywhere is evil . Question: In life, there are many things to fight for. Now the Venerable Master taught that " not contending, not greedy, not praying, " so after all, what should we follow, what should we leave out? A: When it comes time to eat rice, you eat rice. It's not time to eat, you shouldn't! Question: Why does the Buddha emphasize the problem of sensuality (little desire)? A: If you have sex , you will be fulfilled (know enough). Whenever you are good, you will often be peaceful . "Usually peaceful" means no worries! Question: What attitude did the Buddha use when dealing with human beings? A: Compassion, Compassion, Joy, and Discharge . Question: Where did Tham, anger, Si come from? Is it because of the evil karma of the previous life or is it due to this life that she won't practice? A: All are correct. In short, it's fine to subtract them. You ask their origins, but what's the point of refusing to subtract them? Question: If people are not "greedy", how can society make progress? If not "si", how to have conscience 2 ? If not "anger", how to have compassion? A: Don't make a mistake! Got-work means making better, rather than greed. It is a work effort without any ambition or aspiration. What is Si ? Si means doing stupid things like gambling, playing lottery, bingo, etc.… The pitch means getting angry. All are stupid behaviors. Q: I work in a chicken farm. There is currently no way to change jobs, so what should I do to turn the chicken farm into the ashram to exceed that flock of chickens? A: You are in a "dilemma." The best method is to stop raising chickens, but rather people! Question: Assuming we are insulted by outsiders and have no way of resisting, we then apply diligently the patience taught by the Buddha. However, from outsiders' point of view, we are seen as "having the same spirit as A Q." 3 What then should we do? A: You should not let things go by outside. Don't mention "AQ" or "it's not A Q." It is not because people say this and that and then you will be patient. You need to have your own stance and tone. Question: Children are filial, beat their parents, what should we do? A: If you get hit, just endure it! Who made you in this life give birth to that child? There is a very close relationship between people. Maybe in your previous life you beat your parents, hence in this life you have to suffer such retribution. Thinking like that, you will release all sadness! When your mind wants to "retaliate," recite the name Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, asking him to dispel the resentment in your heart. However, you must sincerely recite "Namo Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara." Male-model Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. Male-model Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara ... ”Sincere all have touch. If you owe a lot, you must pay more, if you lack a little, you will pay less! Society Many Chinese expats in Canada expressed concern about the future. Someone asked, "Is Western society in decline?" A: Well, look at how people in society live. If everyone eats well, the national fortune will be good. If everyone did bad things, the country would decline. Question: How can society be safe and good? A: It must come from the place of education. Must teach children to be filial to their parents, to be loyal to their country. Facing social evils such as abortion, homosexuality, not getting married but having children ... many people cannot help but grieve and worry. Someone asked: "In such a lousy context of society, what should parents do to educate their children and educate themselves?" A: You pose this question very well! Society today is so bad because "a father cannot give a father, a mother cannot give a mother." They give birth to children not because they focus on children but just because they want to enjoy themselves, they only know how to be born but do not know how to teach! After getting married, if deeming it inappropriate, they shall immediately divorce; As a result, children suffer the lack of a father and mother. In the US, the law states that after a parent divorces, children must take turns living with their parents. Therefore, children sometimes spend three days a week with their fathers, and four days to return to their mothers. When they were with their father, they heard their father criticize and speak ill of their mother; When they come back to their mother, they hear their mother blaming and defaming their father. So the result is to make the children think that their parents are both ugly, and they imitate badly. Nobody cared about them, so they went to smoke drugs, do evil deeds, and sabotage. Boys are abandoned by girls, girls are outraged by boys, so both sides go into two extreme directions and girls learn to be homosexual! This is an act of dehydration, genocide, not being a human being. In America, I have said the same thing. All are due to the couple's failure to fulfill the duties of the husband and wife, the parent's failure to fulfill the parent's duties! If parents can follow the example of the old mother Manh-Tu, always care about their children, wholeheartedly educate them, then the world will be all right. Abortion is a very serious problem. Abortion is one of the main factors that has brought the world today full of critical illnesses. Children whose abortion died thought: "You make me die soon, I won't let you live in peace!" Therefore, many incurable and bizarre diseases arose. Question: In newspapers, there are often advertisements on "offering you-spirit or soul-soul." Brother-spirit, soul-soul can accept offerings? A: It is impossible to say "offering" anh-spirit, because they are not the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha). If you say "offering" you-linh, you fall into wrong views. Must say "super" anh-Linh is correct. However, the extreme work is very difficult, because the resentment the sheep created with those heroes is very deep. It is "blood debt must be paid in blood." However, if you come across a true spiritual practitioner who is not greedy for money, then you may have a superior chance at them. Question: Taiwan in the past was a very nice and decent society. Today, people are fascinated by bingo, buying stocks, gambling ... making everyone in Taiwan follow "money-worshipingism." So what must Taiwan do to improve that phenomenon? A: Everyone should learn to be a little "stupid"! Because the fun of gambling, bingo, stock play ... belongs to those who are too "smart," who want to be able to harvest without work, without cultivation and still be able to win crops, profit. That is paradoxical wind! Question: Is there any method, what means to advise those who specialize in killing chickens to kill ducks as a livelihood? A: Naturally, when sin was made in the past, now that we know our mistakes, we must worry about correcting them, we should not repeat them. It is said that: I am guilty but can fix it, The crime immediately turned into nothing. The Bodhisattvas do not see sinful sentient beings. One must voluntarily observe the Precepts. The Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas absolutely never devise their designs to harm sentient beings, making us fall to hell. In the past, if you committed the Five Precepts, it is enough to do so now: The things I did from the past, See as dead by yesterday. Now what I do, New life from today! Someone explained the word humiliation (), meaning meat , as follows: Beings themselves eat sentient beings, Think carefully is the person eating people! Why must I rely on killing to maintain my life? There was a very brave female Christian who stood up and admitted right in the middle of the audience, “I am a perpetrator, having committed crimes for nine years. Now, feeling deeply that my sin is too heavy, I want to practice. However, how to eliminate karma? " A: For serious crimes, you need to give birth to a great and precious heart (shame) and repent before the Buddhas; by: Sin is like ice, The sun is the Buddha shines through all the time She continued, "My guilt is too heavy, how can I be quickly eliminated?" A: To pay homage to the Buddhas, sin is as dead as the Ganges. However, she needs to sincerely repent. Question: I heard that Buddhism teaches that abortion is wrong, but since I don't know, I have missed abortion in the past. So what to do in the future to redeem mistakes made?

To lead a religious life Question: What is the difference between monastic and monastic practitioners? A: The monastic person is a relative of the Buddha. The homecare has not officially joined the family line of the Buddha. The housekeeper also does not have strict rules, as if marriage is still allowed. The renunciant, then must live single, "the bar of education results, education elimination." Question: How can people in home practice practice? What spiritual practice is best for us, who have to find time to practice in this so busy life? A: The best method is to not get angry, don't argue with yourself, don't start a war in your heart.
