The Amitayus Sutra - Prepare to practice. Nhat Lien chose the 16th quality Tathagata as the center for his practice. Why did he choose that? He said that when he practiced meditation, he saw the Buddha Shakyamuni existing, not into Nirvana. He heard the Buddha Shakyamuni lecture, but Nhat Lien introduced us to the Buddha living. Therefore, over the decades, Thay always thought that Shakyamuni was alive, but where he lived, it was to cultivate the deity. And by thinking a lot about Buddha, at first he realized that his mind thought about Buddha for a long time, ie bringing the Buddha image to his mind, the Buddha was in his mind. Thinking like that reminded me of Phu Van who also told King Tran Thai Tong that Buddha was not in the mountain, but he was in people's hearts. Indeed, in people's hearts, there are thoughts of Buddha, Buddha will appear in the human heart, like a clear and calm lake, Buddha will appear nothing to a believer. Practicing meditation according to Nhat Lien, the teacher sat quietly and thought about Buddha, thinking nothing else; At that time, the Buddha appeared in his mind with 32 good forms, 80 beauty. What Buddha is like outside is sculpted by artisans, but my heart thinks what Buddha is like, Buddha will be cultivating the deity, not superstitious. On the path of cultivation, we listen to the Buddha's teachings and think, practice with correct results. Since then, he thought about the Buddha and the Buddha that he thought up, or that his Buddha is always beautiful, there is always a good appearance. Every day he looked at the Buddha in the main hall and the Buddha in his room, carefully seeing these two Buddhas differently; But after a period of meditation practice, he found that these two Buddhas were exactly the same. And practice this practice for a long time, every time you recite the Fa flower, think about Buddha, looking at Buddha, seeing Buddha, he blinked and smiled. Cultivation subjects must find the root. Buddha watched him smile and agreed that he was the first to cultivate, he reaped it. And this phenomenon does, I think Buddha knows, I know, who don't know, so I don't care about the outside which is the deity of the root, then without the outside, then I see the outside well. Although the master is not interested in the outside, what happens is better than bad. Reality shows that everyone wants the good, the good luck, but it doesn't come, everyone is afraid of disaster, it comes again. But when we are not afraid of disasters, not interested in good or bad, only think of Buddha, our mind is good, from which good deeds arise. Before, our mind was not good, but we just think we are good and take care of the outside, leaving the root inside; it's a mistake, so bad things just happen to me. So people go to the temple, chanting, praying, making offerings, watching for the mind is not good, so the result is not good. People cultivate wrong like that, so defilements arise; because when they have not cultivated, they have less negativity, but now cultivate easily sad, easy to get angry, easy to touch with others and they have the feeling that no one is around. Should not cultivate wrong that way. Just remember Buddha, don't care about the outside anymore, the mind can calm down and Buddha can appear into the heart; At that time, the Buddha's teaching had the ability to cleanse afflictions and made us feel out of anger, so the Buddha's protection was protected. Relative cultivation, thinking good, doing well is relative good, so this good is against the bad, so today is good, tomorrow is not good anymore. Practicing on the dharma is relatively like that, but cultivating absolute dharma, leaving both good and bad, doing nothing, but the goodness comes to them, that is absolute goodness. So, The Buddha taught that pure is good, and action is evil. Realizing this core, we always keep our mind pure. Indeed, even though the recitation of good is the mind that has already been moved, evil will come, so there is mixed goodness between good and evil, meaning we do good from the outside, but inside there is still evil, so our retribution is hard to avoid. When he was young, seeing Venerable Tri Tinh not doing it, he thought that Venerable Master was negative. But the Venerable Master always advised him to reduce his work, because the more he did it, the more dynamic his mind was, but he had to be active to do it. Thus, initially we move in the mind, then act in action. The Venerable Master said that when he walked out of the retreat he felt uneasy. At that time, I thought the Venerable Master would not go, who would go; If the teacher does not propagate the dharma, whoever propagates the dharma. But when the Venerable Master passed away, he realized what he meant by that to step out of the retreat was a cave. Indeed, walking is dynamic and outward, seeing so many dynamic things happening, so we initiate the mind to act, then the nucleus knows how many ceilings come to us. True cultivators discover things that ordinary people do not know. Having just started the mind, not yet done, Mr. Tri Tri said that in one mindfulness, there are three thousand dharma s arose. Because our mind is not pure, we do not see the mind's work so intensely. Therefore, some people sit all day and the human eye sees them meditate, sit there. But the Buddha's eyes saw him sitting still, but moved. The cultivation of the deity is to see the inner workings of the mind, so seeing like that, so that our mind does not move and when there is always a Buddha in our mind, the Buddha will manifest the entire Dharma realm, so wherever we look, we will see the Buddha. has 32 good generals 80 beauty. How the Buddha statue is, depending on the feeling of the artist. Buddha is in his mind, every Buddha has a good appearance, the same thing, and looking at the sky, clouds and water can see Buddha. From this point of view, Nhat Lien said Buddha was present and he advised us to cultivate to find that Buddha, listen to that Buddha's sermon and practice like this is to cultivate the Dharma flower, not to recite 28 Dharma flowers, or 7 deities. French flower subject. The roots of Nhat Lien taught so, we learn and practice like that, but bring it to teach differently. Why else. The other is because it depends on the conditions, depending on the situation. Indeed, Buddhistization of more than three hundred associations, from heaven, he told the gods, when the Buddha taught in meditation, when the Buddha spoke to monks, or at times the Buddha taught brahmins, Doctor ... means that Buddha says the different dhammas according to the object of hearing the dharma. We learn according to Buddha to see the Dharma flower sutra is seen in real life, The Buddha met all kinds of societies and he spoke the Dhamma to all kinds of people that we synthesized called the Tripitaka Sutra, or the Mahāvāna Sutta to synthesize the Buddha's teachings. Students study, study the Great organ, find teachings in it, find Buddha in it. If you leave this root in search of Buddhism, you will not have it. According to the spirit of Dharma, Buddha is in Buddha's world, we are in the world of beings, these two types are different, so we don't know about Buddha. For non-religious cultivators, each person sees one way, cultivates one way, or in general is all different religions. According to Nhat Lien, all Vedic scriptures are also Buddhadharma. Practicing the French flower just saw that. Since the Buddha's time on earth, those who followed the Vedic scriptures, they were intelligent and saw things that ordinary people could not see, should call them Saints, able to persuade people to listen, believe, For example, Uu Lau Tan Loa Ca Lettuce had five hundred monastic disciples and was respected by King Tan Ba ​​Sa La, appointed to the position of National Master, which meant respect for his morality and intelligence. Therefore, Nhat Lien said that man's wisdom is Dharma, because Buddha is wisdom. The lowest wisdom is human knowledge, taking a step forward, they know this realm is fake, so they want to find eternity, but they haven't found it yet. However, they have a good root, just like we have not seen Buddha, but knowing that there is Buddha is seeing Buddha by faith, so they are determined to find Buddha. The Brahmins, suffering for their goal, want to know why we exist in this life, what we were before we were born and died, where we were going; so they go to find the answer. Finding the answer is tu, but we find the answer in the Buddhist Tripitaka is the root. Buddha has great wisdom, so we find him in the scriptures. And Nhat Lien said to find the Buddha in the scriptures, he read the 16th quality Tathagata of the Dharma Flower Sutra and he realized what Buddha said that God, human, A-tu-la, or sentient beings think Buddha is the son of the king. Tinh Sanskrit went to become a Buddha. Buddha said not so, because he became a Buddha from immeasurable a-rise-period of ordinary lives in Ta-she appeared in many countries in the doctrine of teaching countless beings, different lives, Depending on the type, he opens the means to show the truth, even miraculously ... That means he became a Buddha long ago and since then, he appeared in humans. Tri fake is called the ancient flower, ie the original Buddha, but born on life carrying human body is also Buddha. Like a lotus seed, but falling in the mud, growing up is a lotus. And the weeds that grow are also weeds. His root was Buddha, so he appeared to be muddy, sinful, He rose, not like ordinary people, but Buddha. If the son is a Buddha, he is also a Buddha. Mr. Tri Jia said that "The flower of inter-manifestation" is from the lotus tree, but going through the process of religious practice like a lotus in the mud for a while becomes a fragrant flower. perfect knowledge is the Buddha Thus, there is a Buddha inside, but no one can see that Buddha and just say that Prince Si Dat Ta is beautiful, intelligent, kind. Particularly, A Tu Da saw that the Prince's interior was Buddha, so he cried, because at that time, he was 120 years old, about to die, so Buddha gave a sermon, he could not hear. His nephew was a Buddhist, Tien A Tu Da was not a Buddha, only a wise man also had wisdom, found inside the crown prince is Buddha. Therefore, Nhat Lien said that all human wisdom is Dharma, but not yet as Buddha. And the Prince went to practice called Sa-keeper Cu Dam, not called Buddha. When he became a Buddha, people did not call him Buddha. But because He knows everything exactly, he calls Him Worldly, which means that everything in the world He is knowledgeable. In Vietnam, there is also a Status Trinh who knows a lot of things that are difficult to explain. The Buddha is also called a prophet who knows everything that happens in life and He preaches to overcome all obstacles without anyone harming him, so he calls him the Enlightened One. Being virtuous means overcoming all the difficulties in life that others must die. Moreover, the life of the Buddha's birth education is clearly shown from kings to rulers, or hermits, All parts of society respect Buddha, so call him the Blessed One. To be precise, the Buddha has ten names, namely Tathagata, Application of worship, Chief of respect, Ming virtue, Thien oath, World resolution, Supreme Master, Master's staff, Thien Nhan Master, Buddha, The Ton. On the path of the practice, people realized that Buddha was like that, so they should say "The flower of the beginning of the world", is the blooming flower, or he is the Buddha which is different from ordinary people. Here, there is no other place and people just depend on having Buddha but refuse to practice, so Nirvana Buddha, called "The flower of communication," means that Buddha Nirvana then the real Buddha appears. This idea is mentioned in the 16th life expectancy of Tathagata with the example of a doctor who knows all medicines cure all diseases, he gives medicine, the children do not drink, afraid of bitter medicine. Likewise, refusing to practice, afraid of suffering, according to Buddha enjoy more happiness. Offering five or ten dollars to ask the Buddha for help, but the practice will not accept. Therefore, Nirvana Buddha is like a dead father, and you have no place to rely on taking medicine to drink. Nhat Lien said that he was born in a time when there was no Buddha, but he had Dharma flowers. He recited the sutras and practiced according to the Buddha's teaching in the Dharma Flower Sutra, being healthy, developing wisdom, overcoming all obstacles, so he advised everyone to do like him, the Buddha's work, we can also can do it, even though it is not Buddha. Many followers followed Nhat Lien, because he predicted many things like the Mongols had not yet hit Japan, but he said they would fight. And he advised everyone to take care of the practice in order to receive Buddha's protection not to die when the Mongols beat Japan, And it happened exactly as he predicted, but those who didn't listen, He said that he was preparing for the Mongols to fight, so they took him to the law school. But when the martial arts sword raised the sword, the lightning broke the sword into three pieces so that he could not kill him. His practice achieved results of overcoming difficulties and obstacles. We see that the life of the Buddha's doctrine of birth also overcame the calamity that ordinary people have to die, like King Arahant letting his elephants get drunk to harm Buddha, but they have to kneel at his feet. Nhat Lien bowed his head to slash, but could not cut, so they forced him to exile him to Sado Island, a place where only snow covered, no living creatures or plants. Yet he stayed there for three years, not knowing what he ate, but still living healthy. Peacefully overcoming such tribulations, people would believe that he was a Saint. And while he was on the island, a fighter found the island to kill him, but when he saw him sitting in the snow cave, He is so scared, kneel and beg to be a disciple He returned to the court, saying that Nhat Lien was a Holy, because ordinary people in the snow could not live. Therefore, the court took him to the mainland. At that time the Mongols invaded Japan, but both times the Mongols were killed. The first time Mongolia came to fight, determined to pass before the stormy season, but when the boat approached Japan, it was sunk by the storm. Mongolia fought a second time, waiting for the storm to end, but was also engulfed by the storm. The Japanese believe that he is a great Saint, so people follow a lot of cultivations. Cultivating like Nhat Lien is difficult and rare. If we cultivate a little, it is also precious, and we can also change our lives. As the teacher recited by the Buddha is unexpected intelligence, solving immediate problems, not knowing all. Or someone who comes to deceive, thanks to Buddha to illuminate, he immediately realizes that bad intention. Or the teacher does not know, but when I was about to go, I felt insecure, because the Buddha's protection, so if I do not go, there will be no accident. And Mr. Nhat Lien just went to have the dharmapala help. I don't have enough strength like you, so if I don't go, I won't die. Nhat Lien based on the 16th quality Tathagata, he attained such good results, so he called him the great master deity, ie found the root that cultivated. As for us, we also cultivate the deity, but cannot go to the root, we also have to learn as broadly as the Buddha's three-fold teaching is to draw the essence of mankind. However, over several thousand years, there must also be a big change. Therefore, if we are attached to the sutras, we are also lagging behind, so there must be constant renewal, today called update, because progress in life does not stand still, so the vision, or wisdom of we must be kept up to date. We embrace all the three organs in our hearts, but the Dharma Hoarut gives us a sentence that the Buddha says the Sutra of the Immeasurable Meaning and enters the Immeasurable Meaning of the Land, which is the core of the deity that we need to practice as the Immeasurable Quantity Meaning and Hue Immeasurable Meaning. This means that if you want to find a Buddha, you must prepare your luggage, you don't have to say to go, like a young 12-year-old teacher who wants to practice and practice, you don't know anything. But fortunately thanks to the Buddha's love, the Buddha saves, but cultivation is so dangerous, we must prepare luggage. Buddha teaches the Immeasurable Sutras, which is to prepare to pass through five hundred because the new road will not die half the way, neither preparation is easy to retreat. What is luggage preparation. Must have health, because the journey is far away. Without health, can not go anywhere. When he was in Japan, you invited him to climb Mount Fuji. Teacher said go, go. You prepare sweatshirts, shoes, hats. The master wears casual clothes, In the middle of the mountain, it was so cold that tears, runny nose, could not see. To cultivate, you must prepare properly. According to the teacher, you must first find the way, see which temple is suitable, which monk you treasure and they love you. I was not prepared to shave my head, no one contained, at that time it was difficult, I was crying alone, I could not walk, I could not walk. The Infinite Sutra teaches us to prepare, not to prepare food. First of all, you have to prepare morally, everyone who sees love will start the journey. Go to a temple that you love and love to stay in to practice. Preparing us to eat in a way that loved ones can be a sutra of immeasurable meaning teaches us the morality that the world must have. But how to be loved. According to my experience, we must have good health and great patience, and whatever we can stand we can love. If you can't do it, It's easy to get angry, meet everyone, how can you love. I am like a soccer ball, I can play anywhere, but I won't die. Just remember that it is their fault who is faulty, and I am not at fault. Who says bad things, I don't say bad things. Even if you recite a thousand sutras of Dharma flowers without patience, and make many mistakes, you still cannot cultivate. Must prepare human morality, everyone loves everywhere. The second is to prepare for patience and education. In them, we do everything we do, and every difficulty will bear. Teacher's experience, hard work to do, novice love, even finding it difficult to push, no one likes, called useless. Endure and solve difficult problems, people tolerate themselves everywhere. To do so is to prepare your luggage to go. The third thing to prepare is where to benefit that, certainly people accept themselves. If you eat harmful, you can not stay long. Do more, spend less, New surplus remains. After going to practice, I'm done preparing like that, I think where I can do it, I'll go there. Previously, Venerable Tri Tinh told to recite the Buddha's death and birth in Bliss, he did not listen, because he thought there was nothing for him to do through it; You can't eat it. Wherever I can do it and people like me, I can cultivate there. 1957 was the most difficult period. At that time, Venerable Thien Hoa was the Head of the Dhamma Division. Phuoc Long province invited lecturers. The Venerable Master asked which teacher to go. It is said that we will only arrive from morning until afternoon and still have to go far in the woods. Teacher is the Venerable's attendant, he asked me to go. Teacher said he let go, then I go. I thought I was in Saigon to lecture, who listened. There is poverty, they certainly need to listen to the dharma. Going up there and preaching, as they say the land is blind, and it's king. Because the area is very poor and there are ethnic minorities, they live in Thac Mo but don't wear clothes. That place can definitely do the religion. Back to Ultimate Bliss, he had no job, so he did not return because he was afraid of eating or not, being guilty. Therefore, when you have prepared high ethics, tolerated it and have broad understanding, then find a place to apply. After studying in Japan, he thought that Vietnam had many jobs. My friends said that in Vietnam after the war, why would you go home after the war? I think so about Vietnam, whatever you do, it's okay. And in fact, they invited him to join the Red Cross. As a spiritual practitioner, I need a job to help my life. Therefore, the third thing Buddha taught for the happiness of the majority, for the benefit of gods and humans, is the Dharma Flower Sutra. In short, we learn the Immeasurable Meaning, or the Tripitaka Sutras, is to prepare for the journey. The Sutras are called three cars running out of the Train. There must be three vehicles. Without three vehicles there is no way to enter the religion. On the way to Buddhism, lowering sentient beings, can we endure hardship or not. To be clear, being beaten by someone, I don't fight back; I was scolded, I did not scold back, I was slandered, I did not justify. Doing so is a Buddha disciple. If not, don't get recognized by the Buddha as a disciple, let alone Buddha's protection. Determined to cultivate, experience morality, knowledge and benefit people, Buddha recognized as a disciple and protected by him, we will surely overcome all difficulties and sublimated on the path to Buddhahood. .
