Take Care Of Yourself, Don't Care About Others.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH. Teacher 125. Hey friends! You are your own teacher. Finding a teacher will not help you to clear your doubts. Get to know yourself to see the truth inside, not outside. Self-understanding is the most important thing. 125. One of my teachers ate very quickly, making loud noises when eating; yet he taught us to eat slowly and mindfully. Watching him, I was disappointed and depressed. I suffer while he is still natural. Actually, I have been observing the outside without observing myself. Only later did I understand that. There are many people who drive very fast, but carefully. While some others drive very slowly, but cause many accidents. Don't stick to the established rules. Don't get attached to the outer appearance. You should look at others ten percent and let ninety percent look at yourself. 127. It is very difficult to teach precepts. Some understand but don't bother to practice. Some do not understand but refuse to learn. I don't know how to teach them. Why are there such people? I don't know if it's bad, but even if I teach them, they won't listen. They doubt the dharma practice. They are always skeptical. They want to go to Nirvana but don't want to practice. It's an obstacle. When you tell them to meditate, they are afraid; and if not afraid, they just sit and sleep. Most like to do things that I don't teach. That is the suffering of a teacher. 128. If we could see the Buddha's truth easily, we wouldn't need many teachers. When we understand the Buddha's teachings, we only need to do what needs to be done. The things that make it difficult for the teacher are that the students don't accept the teachings, argue with the teachings, and argue with the teachers. In front of me, they act like they are nice, but behind me they are thieves. Teaching is really hard! 129. I never teach students to live and practice arbitrarily, without mindfulness. But that's what they do in my absence. If you ask the police if there is a thief around, they say no, because the police don't see it. But when there are no police, theft is rampant. It was the same in the Buddha's time. Therefore, watch yourself, watch yourself, don't care about other people's business. 130. The master often teaches difficult meditations that require a lot of effort on your part to get rid of the ego. No matter what happens, don't leave the teacher. Let the teacher guide you, because it is easy to forget the way to practice. 131. Doubts about teachers can help you. Take from the teacher what is good and be aware of your own practice. Wisdom will come when you yourself observe and develop. 132. It's not that the teacher said that the fruit was delicious and that he believed it without knowing anything. Taste it for yourself to know the true taste and all doubts will be dissipated. 133. The teacher is the one who shows us the way. Whether we succeed or not depends on our own practice. 134. Sometimes teaching is difficult. Monks are like a trash can for people to throw all their problems and annoyances in. The more students you teach, the more trash you get. But teaching is a good practice. Teaching helps us to develop patience and understanding. 135. He cannot solve our problems. The teacher is just a place to learn religion. You cannot make the Way clearer. What you teach is for practice, not just for listening. The Buddha never extolled trust in others. Must trust yourself. This is difficult. But it must be. We look outside but never see. Must really practice. Doubts are not dissipated by learning from others, but by continual practice.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.12/9/2021.
