Must understand Buddhist recitation.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
Today is the twelfth anniversary of the old shaman An Quang's rebirth in the Western world. You are all His disciples. Drinking water must remember its source, so you gather in this lecture hall to celebrate your teacher's death anniversary. In Buddhism, the teacher is the parent of one's dharmakaya. Commemorating the teacher, ie recalling his filial duty to his parents dharmakaya. Compared to the petty filial piety in the world, this has much deeper meaning.
I remember in the past, when I first met old shaman An Quang at Mount Putu, in the twentieth year of Quang Tu. At that time, the old monk Hoa Van invited him to the throne to lecture on the Amitabha Sutra at Quang Te temple. After the lecture, he stayed at the temple and read all three of the scriptures. For more than twenty years, he has never left the mountain a step and closed the hermitage door.
Although he understood the teachings very deeply, he only took one sentence of Amitabha Buddha as his daily practice. Absolutely do not allow themselves to understand profound sutras but disregard the method of reciting the Buddha's name. The Buddha's teachings are the medicine used to cure the suffering of sentient beings. The Dharma-door of reciting the Buddha's name, known as the medicine A Gia Da, cures all diseases.
Indeed, no matter what method of practice, it is necessary to have firm faith, keep it forever, practice more and more deeply, to expect to gain full benefits. If you have firm faith, you will be successful when you recite mantras, meditate, and recite the Buddha's name. If the faith roots are not profound, but only rely on a little good root, shallow learning, or remember a few famous koan generals, and then go on idle chatter or discuss right and wrong, only karma will increase and evil habits. Even if we talk about life and death, we are still guided by karma. Is it really that pitiful?
You are a disciple of the shaman An Quang. Today is the anniversary of the anniversary, must also celebrate his true practice. He is a true cultivator because he walked on the path that the ancient virtuous ones walked. He understood the profound meaning of the chapter of Bodhisattva Dai Shi Chi Nien Buddha Vien Thong. According to that, he started to practice, so he achieved the Buddha's name Samadhi. Since then, he has propagated the Pure Land sect, benefiting sentient beings, over the decades, but still like a day, never giving up, despite illness. At present, it is rare for anyone like him, who sincerely practices without prejudice and discrimination, only hearing one Buddha's name and then practicing accordingly. Morning Buddha. Buddha evening. Walking, standing, lying down, in the twelve periods of remembrance, do not forget. Silently, elaborately and maturely ripening, the pure scene of the Western Pure Land is present in front of you, with boundless benefits,
The most important thing is that the faith must be firm. If faith is not firm, all things cannot be accomplished. Today up, tomorrow down; If you hear people say that meditation is good, then immediately give up the practice of reciting the Buddha's name and run to practice meditation. Hearing people say that they study the scriptures very well, they give up meditation and go to study sutras. Studying sutras unsuccessfully ran to uphold the mantra, but did not understand anything. The mind is obstructed because it is not pure. Don't blame yourself for not believing in your mind, thinking that the Buddha's ancestors deceived sentient beings. Cursing the Buddha for blaspheming the Dharma, creating unceasing karma. Therefore, I advise the public that they should firmly believe in the benefits of the practice of reciting the Buddha's name, learn from the "Truthful Nembutsu" practice of old shaman An Quang, then firmly establish a firm mind and develop a strong mind. taking rebirth in the Western world to do great things in life.
Meditating and reciting the Buddha's name, it is different for those who have just started to practice and learn, but for those who have practiced for a long time, it is only the same. In meditation, nominate the first dialogue, cut off the stream of birth and death, also from solid faith. If the first line cannot be kept forever, meditation cannot be accomplished. If your faith is firm, you will have to watch the first line even if you die. Drinking tea does not know that you are drinking tea. Eat rice do not know you are eating rice. Thus, the new practice is mature, free from the ceiling, great use of money, and the pure scene of the practice of reciting the Buddha's name, the same is not different. Reaching that realm, the rational use, mind and Buddha are not two. Buddha is like motionless. Sentient beings are like motionless. One is as motionless without the two as motionless, what is the difference? You are the people who practice the Buddha's name. I hope all of you will take a verse of recitation of Buddha as a refuge for your life.
