The profound meaning of the Jizō Sutra. We have to rely on that aura, to reveal it, so that our wisdom becomes more and more clear, our greed and ignorance are less and more thin, the karma is more and more eliminated, the diminished and crazy delusions are of great significance. the depths of the Jizō What is Jizō, the meaning of the Jizō The title of the Jizō Sutra should be explained first of all, "U Minh Patriarch of the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva Ma ha slap". That means the teacher of the U Minh realm is the Bodhisattva deity Ma ha slap. Usually, we believe there is a Bodhisattva named Jizō, who holds a scepter in his right hand and a vermilion seed in his left hand. He went to hell as his lord, using his staff to break the gates of hell to save sentient beings, if beings faithfully recite his name. But is it true that we honestly believe it? That is worth mentioning. local business We should know, the use of words in the scriptures is very close and clear: "deity" is deity. "Religion" is precious, "Geography" is geocentric, "Bodhisattva" is Tathagata. Thus, only the deity is the most precious, which is the Tathagata Tathagata storehouse; only the deity can master the realms of ignorance, that is, the realm of the hell realms of greed and ignorance. Hell is the hell that is greedy, ignorant, because suffering sentient beings are caused by craving, ignorance and misery. And when there is greed and delusion filled the mind, and defilements arise, what will break this door of hell? Of course it must be his own Jizō deity. It is important that we realize the Jizō deity - that is, the Tathagata of Tathagata, the very noble extreme, or in short as in the Nirvana Sutta, to reclaim our Buddha nature, then we can break the hell of greed and ignorance and help sentient beings of all kinds. The Jizō Sutra is not true religion - that is, just straight, but belongs to the religion - that is, the right to turn means, that is to temporarily use that magical shimmering appearance to display that absolute nature. When we want to point to a truth, if we use reason to express in a small way, it is easy to generate concepts from the discriminating mind, which will be difficult to go directly to the ultimate truth. For example, the Dharma Hoa, the examples of the same death, the tower of Da Bao, the life expectancy of Tathagata ... Want to say something? Obviously, the images are intended to stimulate all intuition. The Jizō Sutra too is here, the Jizō Bodhisattva and the realm of U minh are described is for use only for clarification. With regard to the Jizō Sutra, if we honestly and superstitiously understand that Jizō is a Bodhisattva with a clear appearance, and a real hell realm, then we have accepted the finger as the face. The moon, we will depend on forgiveness, trust in theocracy, and inadvertently refute the cause and effect. If there really is a Jizō Bodhisattva capable of breaking the gates of hell, then we do not need to chant, meditate or practice the Eight Precepts. assist. So then, the spirit who eats it well - whoever drinks, and all the thirst, is it still not? Any cause and effect does not make sense. The birth of Buddha is also meaningless. But actually, why should we endeavor to cultivate? If we do not convert evil to good, and we do not eliminate the negative karma of body, speech, and mind, which Bodhisattva can save us? For example, in a classroom, the teacher gives all his ability to teach fairly, but could he make all students equally well? We cultivate our mind, if purity is also purification of our mind; when enlightenment is self-enlightened, until enlightenment is also the achievement of that mind. Outside the mind there will be nothing. That is the base of all Mahayana sutras. Normally, if understood according to the general form, then taking refuge in the Buddha is to return to rely on Shakyamuni Buddha, to take refuge in the Dharma that is to take refuge in his teachings, and to take refuge in the Sangha means to take refuge in monks. peaceful. But if understood according to the spirit of the Six To Hui Nang, or of the Mahayana sutras, taking refuge in the Three Jewels means the Three Jewels of mind: Buddha is one's own awareness, Dhamma is the right view of the mind. The Sangha is the pure mind (Buddha is Enlightenment, Dharma is Righteousness, and Sangha is Pure). Understanding that is the whole new thing and reason, but if the direction is outside, it is outside the Buddha's mind - that is, the pagan. Since Buddha is the Buddha-mind, returning to Jizō's nature is a great refuge. It is because of this refuge that all three Tathagatas respect, and the ten directions of the Bodhisattva fully return to the refuge. We will explore this more closely as we read there. In short, hell means the craving, the defilements and defilements of sentient beings. Hell is also the realm of the three evil karma that arises from body, speech, and mind. Hell is evil darkness, confusion in the mind of each person. That is self-centered hell. The Buddha says the Jizō Sutra is a wake-up call for all of us to eliminate greed and delusion in our own minds, practice the three good karma in our own mind, and then end our karma in our own mind and eliminate the dark ignorance and self-consciousness. Finally return to his own Jizō deity. That is the platform of the entire Jizō Sutra. As for the main text of the sutras, we suggest that we carefully read and understand in the deep sense of the color of the sutras. Then you will see the sutras talk to you about many new and miraculous things. When we understand the idea of ​​the sutras, the new recitation has full meaning, our spiritual life will follow the spiritual path; otherwise, we may fall into evil ways, into superstition, then spend a lifetime being a disciple of the Buddha. We are Buddha disciples, bathed in the radiance of Buddha, that halo is our own ready-made Buddha wisdom. We have to rely on that aura, to reveal it, so that our wisdom becomes more and more clear, our greed and ignorance are less and less thin, the karma is eliminated more and more, the crazy delusions are less and less reduced. At that time, Jizō Bodhisattva will appear, the door of the hell greedy, ignorance will be broken. May all those who are destined to benefit, and just go on practicing, from here to the fullness.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.7/3/2021.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.
