(DHAMMA) WILL PROTECT LEGAL PRACTICES.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH. (DHAMMA) WILL PROTECT LEGAL PRACTICES When practicing the Four Mindfulness, there are three cittas that always coexist on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness: TINH TAN, CHANH NAM, and PROVINCE in which TINH TAN is always in the lead. Effort is like keeping the drill spinning continuously and pressing against the drill mark. Mindfulness is like the smell of drilling without deviating from the mark. Awareness is like moving a drill deep into the depth of the drill. Diligence is defined as the hard-working effort taught in the Four Noble Truths consists of four hard work: Effort to overcome or eliminate unwholesome actions that have arisen or are on the verge of arising. 2. To exert diligently (not only in the present life but also in future lives), to prevent unwholesome actions from arising, not to let it arise; 3. Effort gives rise to virtuous actions that have not yet arisen; 4. Effortful growth and persistent maintenance of virtuous actions that have arisen or on the momentum of arising. What is unwholesome dhamma? What causes suffering, suffering in the present and in the future no matter what its name, what shape, whatever the circumstances. What is the dharma? What makes body and mind happy in the present and in the future no matter what its name, what shape it is, whatever the situation. So in order to end unwholesome dhammas and have good dhammas all need TAN TON. That means working DONE, is not easy. If we have not known Vipassana or the Four Foundations of Mindfulness before, the mind intuitively and clearly cannot know between akusala and akusala. Now the mind knows, it is quicker, it rings the bell to let us know so that we can protect the peace of mind. Ajahn Chah said: "Dhamma will protect the practitioner". Where we practice the Dharma, we will be protected there. The problem is whether we practice or not. Everyone who comes to vipassana will have to rub and test through the lessons with these. Money can buy a house but cannot buy a home. Choosing a house or home is ours, when we are not predestined or blessed enough to choose a house and a home in the same place. Please quote the story from the Mahayana Land explained by the Zen master U Silananda: "In Atthasaalinii there are two stories about opportunistic and disciplined self-restraint: In Sri Lanka there is a layman named Cakkana. When she was young, Cakkana's mother suffered from a disease in which the physician had to eat fresh rabbit meat. The brother told Cakkana to go to the field to catch the rabbits. Cakkana went straight to the field. A rabbit eating saw Cakkana hurriedly run away and clung to a vine dust, screaming in fear. Cakkana followed the call and caught the rabbit. Holding the rabbit in Cakkana's hand thought, "I have medicine for you." But Cakkana thought, "It is not a good way to take the life of another being to save the life of your mother." So Cakkana let go of the rabbit and said, "Rabbits, go eat grass and drink water comfortably with the rest of the forest". Returning home empty-handed, Cakkana met him. The brother asked: - Can you catch the rabbit? Cakkana recounts everything. The older brother scolded the boy once, but Cakkana was still not angry. Cakkana approached her mother with sincerity saying, “I have not killed a creature since I was born. With this sincere word, I wish you mother to heal. Due to the power of that honest speech, Cakkana's mother healed. The second story is about a layman who lives on Mount Uttara-vaddhamara. After asking for precepts from elder Pingalabuddharakhita of Ambariya temple, lay people went to work field. He tended to plow his field. That noon, after eating, he lay down to rest. When he woke up, he could not find the cow anymore, so he ran to look. He entered Uttaravaddhhamra mountain when he was wrapped tightly by a python. With the ax in his hand thought, "I will cut off the head of the python with this sharp ax". But he thought again: "I just asked for precepts this morning, I should not have the thought of killing." After thinking three times, he said to himself: "I must keep the precepts and die." Afraid to keep the ax in his hand, when it hurts, he may change his mind, so he throws the ax away. At that moment, the python loosened up and crawled away.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONBASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.11/4/2021.
