Three rules. A person who takes a vow of Buddhist beliefs, asking for permission of the Three Precepts before the Three Jewels is called a Buddhist follower. The three rules are to take refuge in Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, and take refuge in the Sangha. Because the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha guide sentient beings out of samsaric suffering, sentient beings are very precious and respected as the Three Jewels. The Dharma realm of nature arises the world, sentient beings from immeasurable, countless eons ago. Beings are born, cylindrical, singular, cessation, continuously forever. The world turns into, pillar, decay, no, also continuously forever, never stopping at rest, like a spinning wheel, so it is called samsara. A newly born being is called a birth, continuing to exist is called a pillar, constant change is called a singularity and eventually dying is called death. When the world was in a slightly invisible form, it was called nothing, when it began to accumulate, until it became a solid mass of earth, with trees, grass, people, and things, it was called a city, When it continues to exist without a big change, it is called the pillar, when it begins to disintegrate without people, objects and trees, it is called decay, and when it turns out slightly, it is called no. The time of a world that becomes then dwells, dwells and falls, falls apart, or else is called a lifetime. Each world has its own heaven, the cultured scope of a Buddha, there are thousands of millions of suns, that is, thousands of millions of worlds, consisting of one Buddha. Immeasurable, boundless Buddha is combined into one floor and twenty floors like that, overlapping to form a world organ and the world organs are so far apart that people cannot imagine. floating statue. In the millions of worlds of a Buddha, the tense becomes, the tense stands, the tense ends, the tense becomes nothing, so it is impossible to say where the universe started and when it ceases, although every world has city, universe, decay, no. From the realm of the Four Jhāna realms upwards, it is not dominated by the world's attainment, limb, or void, so sentient beings in those realms can live many lives. Beings reincarnate forever in countless eons, suffer many sufferings, so someone has enlightened, wants to find a way out of life, death. Due to the expectation of sentient beings, many paganism and heresy have appeared, deceiving sentient beings, such as giving children a cake to draw, or saying that, going to heaven will live forever without dying, causing sentient beings to drown. forever in the pool of misery. Among those who seek liberation, there are some people who consider the mind, in the present scene, invent the doctrine of predestination, then try to practice, to get rid of the ego, out of samsara, that is the Poisons. Countless countless lives later, There is a Poisoned with great compassion, unable to let them suffer from samsara forever, so persistently appears many bodies, in many species that transforms sentient beings. Due to this kind of compassionate mind, this Enlightenment, increasingly goes deeper into the nature of everything, everything, comes to full intellectual merit, enlightens the Dharma Realm, discovers and merges with Dharma realm and become Buddhism, it is the Lord Buddha, the first Buddha in the infinite universe. Thanks to the meritization of the Lord Buddha, immeasurable beings have generated bodhicitta, cultivated according to the Buddha's teachings, universal sentient beings, and became immeasurable, countless Buddhas. Thus, all the Buddhas are successful in practice, although the precepts of the world are available, they are not added or removed. Enlightened Buddhas are enlightened to the delusion of sentient beings, deluded beings are the delusion of Buddha's enlightenment. In fact, Beings are just manifestations of the dharma realm, which is only due to the fact that the realms of nature are coincident with the same conditions. With the legal realm of nature, sentient beings do not know directly, mistakenly admit that the body often changes, the mind that often changes is self, again mistakenly has the true self, has the real foreign object, so they have to live. die, die then live, reincarnation forever in the six paths. Such delusion, then called ignorance, only when there is no ego, dhamma, enlightenment of ignorance, and cessation of ignorance, can one be merged with the dharma realm, that is, the hybrid nature. . When entering one with the legal realm, it is called Tathagata, because of the true nature of the feet as, according to the conditions of living beings, which amounts to immeasurable amount of physicalization, so it is called Tathagata. The Tathagatas are equal, there is no difference, but their predestination towards sentient beings, again according to the differentiation of sentient beings that have the difference. The Tathagatas manifest innumerable bodies, doing many beneficial things for sentient beings to create conditions. When conditions have matured, for sentient beings in the thousands of millions of worlds of a Buddha, the Tathagatas reappeared in all of these worlds to transform. Our lord Buddha is Shakyamuni Buddha. He is an incarnation in the boundless incarnation of the Buddha Bhikkhu-amnesty-na (Vairo-cana). He appeared the human body in this realm, with all the sublime generals, then appeared to be a religious practitioner, showing himself to practice, when he realized that the pagans are not liberating and finally, sitting under the Bodhi tree -To, consider for yourself, eliminate ignorance and become Buddhism. After becoming a Buddha, Buddha Shakyamuni traveled widely, teaching the dharma of birth, bring the practice methods for self-liberation, self-awareness, self-enlightenment, go to perfect happiness, that teaches the disciples. After the Buddha's passing away, the great disciples of the Buddha gathered the Buddha's teachings, into the sutras, and they even gathered the Buddha's disciplines that were taught, into the laws. Again while Buddha was in the world and especially after the Buddha's death, many great disciples of Buddha, had important works or analysis, or inductive, or codified the Buddha's teachings, to help. The people of the world learn the Buddha's teachings, which are the commentaries. The sutras, codes, and commentaries are the three canonical organs of Buddhism. While the Buddha was on earth, the Buddha's disciples, ordained for religion, were all merged into them, living according to the peace of mind, the body of harmony, avoidable harmony, the harmony of the mind, the initiates' precepts, bias, reconciliation, and harmonious benefits. These are called Sangha like that. According to popular conception, the Buddha Shakyamuni is Buddha, the three canonical organs are Dharma and the monastic monks are monastic monks. Such Sangha, the so-called stay in the Three Jewels. The followers of Buddhism take refuge in the Three Jewels, mainly taking refuge with the Three Jewels. In addition to taking refuge with the Three Jewels, followers of the Mahayana Buddhism, also taking refuge in the ten directions of the Three Jewels, that is, taking refuge with all the Buddhas of the ten directions, not just taking refuge with Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha; Refuge with the First meaning, that is, with the most miraculous ethics of the Buddha, not just refuge with the Tripitaka; Refuge with countless Bodhisattvas in the ten directions, not just take refuge with the current monk of the Sangha. Still know, the Buddhas are identical, take refuge with one Buddha, that is to take refuge with all the Buddhas, But if you only take refuge with Shakyamuni Buddha, an incarnation of Amnesty Buddha, it is difficult to receive the Buddha as permanent, always present, so there is no correct conception. the ultimate attainment of the Buddhas. Although there are many classic Tripitaka, but the aspect of Buddha and that of the Patriarchs, according to conditions, is also different. There are scriptures that teach about Dependent Origination and Thanh Van Thua, the meaning is not definitive and is not the path of spiritual practice to Buddhism. Regarding the Mahayana sutras, if you accept the word of meaning in the sutras, but you do not recognize the thoughts, it is no different, taking your finger to make the moon. Therefore, those who practice according to the Mahayana practice need to take refuge with true morality, which the Buddha and the Patriarchs have shown in the sutras, that is, taking refuge with the First meaning, leading to direct realization of the dharma realm ie Tanh Tanh, ie Bao Lai self-nature. In our Buddhism today, only Thanh Van Sang, because according to the human ability in this realm, only Thanh Van Sang can maintain the Dharma for a long time, but not because of that, without you. The Bodhisattva's ten directions, according to the great and compassionate aspiration, are always present in our world, in order to transform the living beings. They themselves were the Patriarchs, rectifying the deviations in Buddhism, composing many precious commentaries, not only clarifying the teachings of the Buddha, but also developing and inventing. The cultivation methods are suitable with the opportunity to make Buddhism revive, leveling down the times of decline. Therefore, in addition to the abbot, Buddhist followers also take refuge with the Bodhisattva's cross, which is Thuong abbot. The Buddhist followers have generated Bodhicitta, so even knowing the abbot of the Three Jewels does not go out of the Dharma realm, that is the hybrid nature of my own nature, which means that even though I take refuge in the Three Jewels, in truth, I am also the dharma realm of nature, the Three Jewels are also the Dharma realms, there are no Three Jewels out of my mind And I don't mind going outside of the Three Jewels. The hybrid nature has no defilement, no ignorance, that is Buddha said. Being self-equal, there is no difference, but all appearances of worldly and worldly dhammas, but all of them, at the same time, are just the nature, that is Dharma. Self-nature has immeasurable utility, has constant merit, appears countless bodies, does countless Buddhas, but the truth is not anything, that is Sangha. The three jewels in such a nature are the Self-T nature of the Three Jewels. Practitioners need to take refuge with the Three Jewels nature, so as not to mistakenly admit the Three Jewels are out of mind. Refuge, in Sanskrit "Na-Mo" means to return to lean on. They are deluded like a foolish child that has gone astray. That child, obeying the call of his parents, turned to rely on his parents, following his parents to avoid a mistake. Beings in delusion, hearing the call of the Three Jewels, can turn to rely on the Three Jewels, follow the Three Jewels on the path of liberation, then go against the stream of delusion and come out of samsara. So taking refuge is not just a ritual, but it should be an occasion of making a prayer before the Three Jewels, resolutely transforming wrong rules, in other words, resolutely following the Three Jewels, not straying into another path. 1- Refuge the Buddha, permanently refusing to take refuge, the god, the devil, the object: That is, to take refuge with the Buddha, the vow not to take refuge permanently with God, with God, with Demons, with Objects. The pagans are often superstitious according to Gods, Gods, demons and spirit creatures, such as trees, stones, tigers, snakes, etc. The Buddhists know heaven, gods, demons, animals, They are just species in the cycle of samsara, so they are determined not to follow them and only take refuge in the Buddha to be liberated. Someone says: "Father is also secret, mother also worship" or "Buddha is far away, the house is close" or "Buddha is also respectful, God is afraid", saying that is to confuse enlightenment with delusion, Buddha with them. Born, Dharma with foreign religion. It should be realized that the gods, gods, demons, and things are all deluded like us, are bound in karma, so they cannot understand us and often have no relationship with us. But our thoughts have an extraordinary power, when the thoughts of many people concentrate on believing, they can create gods, gods, and beasts, which have a number of effects, but, god, god, demon That thing is the truth just an illusion. In addition, when the practice was quite good, the career started from one career to another, then we can empathize with other species, but that understanding is still of no use at all, because those beings, though different from humans, are still sentient beings, so in the moment of empathy together, they are very able to entice the spiritual practitioner into the pagan religion. 2- Refuge the Dharma, permanently refuses to take refuge in paganism, heresy: It means to take refuge with the Dharma, vow forever not to take refuge with paganism and heresy. The pagan religion is the spiritual practice such as Confucianism, Taoism, etc. that do not result in liberation. Heresy is false teachings, contrary to cause and effect, the growth of evil karma. Buddhists, only relying on Buddhism, should not consider Buddhism as a religion like other religions, should not look to see the scriptures of other religions, when not understanding the Dharma, only when they have enough wisdom. wisdom, distinguish righteousness, should take a look at the foreign classics, to criticize mistakes and defend the Dharma. 3- Refuge Sangha, permanently refuses to take refuge in harms, evil parties: It means to take refuge with Buddhist monks, forever vow not to follow harms and evil parties. Buddhist monks live according to the peace of mind, are good friends, are good knowledge of sentient beings, and harm is a person or people inciting to do things that harm virtue, to good mindfulness and mindfulness. Evil parties are factions that cause harm to the majority of people, such as treason factions, oppressing and killing people, serving the interests of foreign invaders. Buddhists only take refuge with the Three Jewels, determined not to follow the evil party's harm, even though they wear a monk's coat. Taking refuge in the Three Jewels is the three vows that Buddhists need to keep fully in order to be worthy of being a Buddhist, so should not transmit the Three Precepts to those who do not understand and have yet to take the vows. Taking refuge at a young age is just a bond, has no real effect, when you have grown up to understand and know the aspiration, you should take the vow before the Three Jewels, take refuge in accordance with the Dharma. We followers of Buddhism also chant the Three Self-Regulatory Rules: - Self-refuge in the Buddha is willing to be sentient beings, can dissolve the great path, the mindlessness. - Self-refuge in the Dharma, may living beings penetrate economic organs, wisdom like the sea. - Self-refuge Sangha, dangers of being a mass system of beings, necessarily unafraid. That is: - To take refuge in the Buddha, we should pray for sentient beings to understand Buddhism, generate immeasurable Bodhi. - To take refuge in the Dharma by itself, we should pray for sentient beings to delve deeply into the doctrine of the sutras, the vast wisdom of the sea. - By taking refuge in the Sangha, we should pray for sentient beings to have the ability to lead the masses to practice, to organize the masses according to the six-draw magic, to be free of fearlessness. These three verses express the realization of the Three Jewels and compassion, hoping for all beings to understand the same way and practically learn to practice to contribute to building the Three Jewels together. Taking refuge in the Three Jewels is of great benefit, because taking refuge in the Three Jewels, ie reforming evil, abandoning evil, therefore, decides not to fall into the three evil paths. It is crucial to take a sincere aspiration, a trust in the Three Jewels, not to believe the pagan religions, gods, gods, demons, and things, even in times of trouble and hardship, to get the benefits of taking refuge in the Three Jewels. In our country, there is often the custom of worshiping ancestors, Buddhists understand that, when they are dead, unless they return to the Pure Land, all must turn to life. in the sixfold religion, it is impossible to have a soul to enjoy the rituals, so believers only consider the pilgrimage days to be anniversaries, and in those days, often doing good deeds and reciting Buddhist chants to dedicate the spirit of the early enlightenment to Buddhism and pass away the Pure Land. May all sentient beings generate a practical mind take refuge in the Three Jewels, practice diligently, and become Buddhism together.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.16/3/2021.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.
