Quy Son Book Review (Part 3).

" Impermanence, old age, sick with no appointment. Early in the evening, the other died . "

This is only for the truth of the shortness of this body, it is not durable, not long to break the common island crazy. This body is not often thought to be normal, because the body is still new because the body that created karma. If it is clear that the truth of the body is very fragile, short-lived, then it is worthwhile to attach to it because it creates karma. Because insane it is often, is durable long life, so new because it creates karma to develop it should suffer that place.

And when they look carefully, then except for the mistake often crazy island. Seeing that impermanence always changes, go to one side. It comes without a date, nor an appointment. Early in the evening, just one moment is transferred to another life. New young that old, then that healthy new disease. It was lost. Sometimes we meet again, in the afternoon already. Only one moment is the death of another, then what is called me to be sad, angry, more lost together?

In such a way, is there anything worth accepting in it, to create karma, to suffer?

If you look in the eyes of the gods will also see the human life is very fragile. The gods lived hundreds of thousands of years, so one day, one night they were under the earth for hundreds of years. Not to mention the higher heavens, the longer life expectancy. So if you look at the eyes of the gods, then you look down to see that he was born crying, but he looked back at the dead was dead. So human life compared to heaven is so lightning fast.

Just like we look at insects, ants, butterflies ... Just saw it yesterday, today is dead. Life is short. Or the chicken, the duck see it, some months are dead. The human life for the gods is short, thanks to that we are less likely to accept.

He pointed out the truth of impermanence, suffering, and selflessness of this body clearly. It is impermanent, fragile for suffering, that is not as well. He wants to get old, he's old, he wants to get sick, he's sick; is in harmony, it wants to be separated then it is separated. It goes in the direction of it, its path rather than follow its direction, not what it wants.

It is not as it is not self, it does not belong to any ego, does not belong to me.Conscientiousness throughout this truth, no longer accept the body anymore, ensure that we go deep into the path of Dharma. The Theravadin practitioners of this truth are then cultivating Arahantship, not ordinary. Thus, the depth of this place is nothing else for us to attach ourselves to the body. In the end? It's just a rotten egg, nothing!

Now the body is temporarily breathing, and temporarily stay on the coast full of it is running back and forth a bit. When the end of grace and then stop breathing is only dust! Yet we are left to worry, care for, nourish this damned. We've been bluffing too much lately. Take care of the nourishment, care, care for the whole body. Sometimes it is because it has to create karma.

Thanks to study, the new discernment to see people are truly pitiful. Because this sinkhole slashes, kills each other and creates unforeseen karma, eventually bringing the zipper to the cemetery. Then only because of this zip that suffering for each other, create karma to suffer together, is a mistake, crazy island.

Try to think, new born not have any name, grow up to give it a little bit A, B, C something ... and then clung to that distinction to do it yourself. The name is just a sticky label that looks like something that has not yet been labeled for its label. Thanks to this brand to distinguish the other brand for easy sale.

This body also, so that it is not branded, then labeled it Nguyen Van A, Nguyen Van B ... to know which distinguish when exposed to each other. Salespeople, too, labeled differently so that they are easy to distinguish, not to cling to the labels to create a separation. What is not crazy? Only the brands that we hurt each other, suffering each other.

Asking the question again, according to the Buddha, people are foolish or intellectual?Identify the right place. When clear, remember the right dharma is right. But when they come back to the delusion of accepting it as dumb as beings. So they want to show us that we awaken through these truths that transform into mind.

Here we learn to study this place, learn straight in the truth and not learn to analyze the word. Learn to contemplate, to open up the love affair.

Is it enough for us to wake up or still sleep? At the beginning, Quy Son has stripped the mask of this one for us to see clearly. Then when the ordination is no longer nostalgic, or to look forward to nothing more, but only a straight road to.

"Early in the evening, the death of another death."

Satan means fleeting time, understood simply as a tick. The meaning of the sniper is shorter than the tick.

This is about the impermanence, shortness of the body. The mind is more subtle than the birth. The old saying, in a great memory to 81,000 mannequin, then in a murder has 900 births kill. Just to see the birth is very subtle, if the recitation, each of the 72,900,000 grand memories are birth is very frightening. This place only deep penetrations to see, but we can not see that place.

So all of us living here are living on the flicker, suddenly there is no but not see this place. Because human eyes are limited.

Take the incense stick, for example, to see a ring of fire, but the truth is not the ring of fire. That is the point of fire re-assembled. Your mind also, every point of birth to kill the concept. We only see a single thought, see a thought is quite, not true in each thought that is how many kill death naught anymore.

Seeing the birth of subterranean as such, also want to cherish the body of this kill. He points out the truth of fragile, brief body that makes us aware.

"Like spring dew, early morning hook, at that instant not; deep river, shallow wells have long. "

In the spring of the morning, when the sun is shining, the fog hangs. Or light up to see the grains it hooks on the top of the grass, on the leaves, a bit after the sun to tan. This body is so fragile, so short, that it is lost but not durable.

So who is the wise mind when it is temporarily deposited on the tip of the grass, leaves must know how to live together for a bit more meaningful life. In contrast, only to create what hurt each other, then it also tan, finally regret. When they look the same, each person has a more intellectual life, unlike a crazy person.

Then, "the shore, the shallow well is long" is also an example. In the business there is a tree near the edge of the abyss, a labyrinth. Only the wind blowing is that it tilts easily.

My body, too, is standing on the abyss, so it can die at any time. A poisonous breeze blowing through can also cause death. Heard, there are people to sleep on the wind always. And eating well can also die. Falls can also die. That is, people can die at any moment, life is very fragile, why should we cling to it. It is they want to remind us to reduce attachment to this body but decided to progress, because it is not smart to cultivate.

Do not think the time is long, much to do one thing, and later not later. That is crazy thinking. There are many who think that I am still healthy today to worry about doing this, the other intended, planning to finish those things then I decided to cultivate. But it is not expected that it has gone before, so the calculation is not timely.

The day before I was young about 18, 19 years old, lowered the manual labor. When contemplating, deep sense of this impermanence, I was always afraid to cultivate not in time. Feelings of impermanence always close behind me so. At that time, I fiercely cultivated for fear of not being able to think of anything else, just tuition. May I have peace on the new path. So then meet guests or relatives are also ignored, ignored without needing to say hello, nor afraid of anyone who mistakes, no longer think of what to fault.

Only one meaning of this impermanent, if we are deeply touched, have seen the benefits of the great monastery, let alone supreme Dharma. Sometimes we think of supreme supreme dharmas, ignoring the basic foundations, not being clever without the legs.

In Son Shan has reminded everyone of this meaning:

Having seen the riverbank,

Despair can not be discussed.

Some three redundant flower buds,

Thousands of stains hammer knife.

Yellow leaves withered,

Shrinkage of dried roots.

The main living place,

The earth and the earth. 

As soon as it was said yesterday, just yesterday saw a tree on the bank of it is greatly reduced. It left only a few leftover flowers, but also thousands, full of hammer hammer full of trees. Then the dew leaves the wilted leaves more and more, below the waves bouncing into the dried roots that are stuck in the trees on the banks of the river. The real life of all things is like that, so no need to resent heaven and earth!

In the Nirvana Sutra said:

Someone in the field was driven by a wild elephant, rushed. Again came a tree on the shallow well, with a rope underneath. He clutched the rope repeatedly. Then in the middle of the well, there are three dragons and four poisonous snakes looking up, if they fall down, they fall into their mouths. Then there were two mice, one white, one black, and the other one was broken. A bunch of bees fell on top of it, dropping it. When he had tasted the five drops, he forgot all the dangers.

Dong only for the three realms of the world. For instance, this tree, for example, is a fragile net. The two sides of the mouse are gradually biting the net is the date of time.The only elephant for impermanence is chasing. The well is for the fluorescent, the dead. Three poisoned dragons are only for the greed of greed. Four snakes poison only four. Bile drops are only for five. All the dangers are available to them, but because of ignorance island crazy, tasted the few drops that are forgetting how much danger.

Just like the life of the wreck in the fun little five that forget the dangers of birth and death, in suffering. So, they want to remind us that the thin body is so short. How many dangerous are waiting for a party, not safe, happy what!

We are cultivators, that is the people who learn the Dhamma, know the Dharma must be consistent to look at the mind of the mind, according to the Buddha taught without attachment to it. That's the way to go.

"Fast memory, within the moment, transfer the breath into the next life, so calmly to pass through?"

For example, here he is legitimate again to point out the short truth of this body. That is, your life is counted through each breath, not every month. In life, count each year, while the elderly, sick people who are dying count each month. So it's a bit long. True, life counts in every breath. Short, so fragile.

Breathing out without inhaling is another way of life, not a year long. Seeing life counts in each breath, new know that crazy island is often mistaken for the body is often, see it lasting because it is that karma, so much love!

Consciousness of this place is also clinging to the body, only resolved to solve the need for liberation, nothing else there is no other way.

The contemplation of the instant will sense the short-lived impermanence. Follow the breath out to see out to see his life to follow the breath. When the mind is like that, then the breath is as fine again, thin like a silk thread, can break at any time. Feeling this is the mind to let loose, to worry about gasoline again?

The body is fragile, short-lived, then why calm to pass! Why do not try hard, to improve the practice to the bridge to liberate. That's what he wants to remind. That's enough for us to develop the mind of Bodhi.

Zen master Dao Nguyen taught:

-  If the practitioner of impermanence is enough to develop Bodhi mind. When we are impermanent, our minds are not born, we recite the list of benefits . Fear the last time quickly, so urgent practice as fire rescued head, look back to the network is not strong that diligent tired tired. Listening to the sounds of Urinals or the birds of old, as well as the winds blowing through the ears . Although Wang Tuong, West Thi as well as early frost cover eyes . Having left the bondage of sharpness, then self-righteousness!

Many people think of impermanence is the practice of Hinayana, still dry. But do not expect the furniture is depending on each person. Cunningly, the sub-consciousness is also great, and also the sub-great. Therefore, he taught Taoist people impermanence, smart, then that is the development of Bodhi mind.

When it comes to impermanence, the mind does not arisen, the list of interests does not start. Seeing the fragile impermanence.

Consequently, impermanence should be urgent. Mainly hurry to practice the monk should look back on this body it is not strong. Therefore, the diligent tu not tired, because not remember the body is tired. Where are the mind that pay attention to good language, good language; I do not have to walk to hear the music standing back to listen, again, no time. At that time there is no mind to think of such things, only to worry about not to be impermanent. And when the color bar is no longer bound, then right ethical, is the development of Bodhi mind what?

So, if the person who is attentive to the brief impermanence of this body is fully awakened, then that is the mind of Bodhi.

So who has not yet? How much is enough to see Quy Shui teach the Messenger or teach the monks for years we too? For years, it is not clear, do not say it is not. Where can you look down?

The more you learn to master the words of the Patriarchs, if only learn to analyze the words, read to read back and feel bored. Who do you bored with, check it yourself!

"Parents do not offer delicious food strange, six relatives decided to leave. Do not help the country to keep quiet, leave the lineage of the home. Stay away from the village, shaved hair according to the teacher.

When the practice is to renounce all the worldly things should leave all the obligations in life. As no longer serve parents to pay for filial piety; nor do we offer strange things;Then, for the neighboring villages, they always say goodbye. Six relatives ie parents, brothers, wife and children considered as retired.

    In the rash is the sentence  "Cut love from the body,"  ie cut off the love in the world, from all the people close to me, only a strong will is determined resolve. Newcomers who have strong will, but gradually to the next is strong or not depends on each person.

Many early parents, grandparents prevent how much or not, are ready to cut off, go to school. Looks like a sharp cut to enter the temple. But here long knife cut off not cut off.This has to be checked for shame.

Then the obligation to the country is also lacking, so do not help to help the country, keep quiet territory. The continuation of the watch also dropped. Get rid of the worldly career, step straight up the way out. So it seems that only the road that tu tu tu not worth anymore?

Being in the place of dear, reunion, fun and then suddenly cut off the mind to the temple is the great high. But what does the temple do is the next, important one's lifetime. We must continue to be worthy of our original will.

Therefore, the renunciation of this body is leaving the world, the noble. To step out is to get out of the ceiling, achievement of liberation mind.

"Within the effort to win, in addition to the moral respect, beyond the mundane, expect the day out."

That is our way of coming, not only the body of monasticism is enough.

That is to work in the temple to filter dust in the heart, to worry about elaborate to win the idea, false, crazy island has long been.

In the effort to win the mind, is when the mind think of hope, the pursuit of the coast, the ceiling that has not mastered it led to take, now must overcome that concept. It must be controlled to control it, to win it. If you let it win as you do, what is the benefit of the temple? This is an important place. This is a feat. That is our original noble aspirations, nor is it as trivial as the people of the world.

So if two words "win concept" if read plainly see nothing significant. But if practiced then it is very bitter. To sweat, tears throughout life is not quite finished, not often.

At present, there are also at the temple many years but have won the concept? Or usually, sometimes win it but sometimes it also won, lead me to run out and back again!

We need to learn deeply in practical meaning to apply elaborately. Try to win, it is the practice. There is no need to worry about this, the other, either the status of honor or the high Buddhist temple, not that. It is the place where we must conquer, our new career.

In addition, the great respect. In addition to the practice of harmonious glass, six measures of glass. In the Zen temple also advocated the same.

Six French:

-  Harmony of the pillars : That is, students must live harmoniously together to live together, living together.

-  Inversion of the avoidance:  About the mouth always use the word harmony with each other, do not argue loudly, roughly the same as the secular.

-  Harmony agreement:  mind is always happy harmony, do not think enemy, against the contrary.

-  Conciliation of the prize:  According to the understanding is also happy, sympathetic to each other not to accept personal knowledge, then create prejudice against each other.

-  Harmonize the  same discipline : harmonious living in the precepts, keeping the same rules, same old rules, do not do your own to the contrary to the general rules, for yourself.

-  Benefiting the army:  Benefit is divided equally to live together peacefully.

Yogis always keep the spirit of reunion with each other to live together, together to brighten up his virtue, who look at love. Wanting to do that, in the mind, outside the body is the true spirit of the exodus. That is the career of the cultivator. Buddhist teachings so new meaning. Because the Sang means that they are Harmony, the basis is the life of the monk should be harmonious, not harmonious where there is increased meaning.

About Meaning Harmony also has charm.

At one time, when the Buddha went to Dongcheng Park, in the city of Karagama, where three Angels-longans, Kim-nan and Nan-da were living together very well together. harmony.

When the Buddha came to the gate, the doorman did not know how to stop him: "Sa-subject, do not go in to disturb the teachers meditate."

At that time, the Buddha did not say anything, he has long gone from the inside out, he joyfully greeted, said to the gardener: "This is our teacher, let him in.

Ah-nanda-long-momentum brought the Buddha inside, meeting Mr. Nan-da and Mr. Kim-Pi-la. Three people, lifting the bowl, people raise the old-fashioned clothes, then invited the Buddha to sit near the edge of the bamboo trellis, bring water, bring towels to wash his face, wash his feet. Then all three hands Buddha respect.

Buddha asked:

- Are the teachers here calm, the training is convenient? Is begging and propagating easy?

"As Ananda said,

- The Blessed One! We are very safe here, the scene is quiet, the begging and propagation also no obstacle. As a result, we have made much progress in our study.

Buddha asked:

- Do you love and get along?

The white candles:

- We love each other, living together like water with milk. Whenever something important happens, we come together to make a common decision. When learning about the dharma, if there is anything suspicious or unclear, then we discuss together to learn and exchange experience with each other. Lord Buddha! Thanks to the three people in harmony, we find that our study is easy and convenient.

Buddha said:

- Very good! Sharing in harmony with each other is the most favorable conditions for learning.

The three together, harmonious, good study should praise the Buddha.

But one man is good, and two men begin to chisel, and three men, one man at a time.Should live alone is safe, living two or three people together is something. Human mind is so troublesome.

 There are three people here together should be more favorable. Along with the coast, you can practice as well. That is what we must learn to live by.

At that time, the Buddha praised and stayed in this garden for a month to observe the way of living and study of the three teachers, while also teaching more about doctrine and practice.

Before leaving, the Buddha told them:

- Hey teachers! If all the congregations in the congregation can treat each other like teachers, it is very beneficial and easy for them to study together. From now on, the Tathagata is proposed to apply the Mara to the masters. (the six hexagrams have been mentioned)

That is the coast of the teachings of Buddhism. We also have to be smart to live and practice.

Here the "precept harmony" is the Thanh Van, the Bodhisattva.

Thanh Van at home has five gender, eight gender, the good sex.

The monk, there are precepts of samadhi, samitin, consciousness, monks, monks, monks. If the precepts of any gender must be clever.

About Mahayana is the Bodhisattva precepts, both at home and home.

This also speaks about the monk meaning.

Monks have a place called rate-pretentious, formerly translated as Secret-number, or Turn-off. There are three meanings: Evil, Devil and Mendicant.

Evil is to destroy the defilement, crime must be afraid of fear, to respect; Then the beggar is begging.

So monks that live too lost the meaning monks and then. Even if you have to live a little bit poorly, do not be afraid of wearing your old shirt or shirt and laughing.

Understanding this meaning, it must prevent the mind from running after the general to give birth to the self in it. The Bhiksu beggars must be humble, humble. The spirit of the monk should be like this, to practice the spiritual life to escape this birth. One must go out, do not look back, no regrets should call out.

Because of how many lives we have been tied up in here, suffering so much suffering in this birth and death, then meet the good condition to escape, then straight to escape.

The above is about the body escaping. Here is saying "looking forward to the day out" is what escape anymore? This place is a must to the heart.

That is, to truly attain liberation, in order to transcend the ceiling, that is the goal of the path of renunciation.

Who is the Master Tran Dynasty must be carefully considered to have a definitive practice, start over. Should be called "beyond the mundane, expect the day out", not the melon, no look back.

In the old days of the Bodhisattva, when he was a monk, he awakened. He went to the jungle, but the queen went on forever.

At that time in the forest meet a person to close his eyes to bend straight, he asked him to do so close his eyes?

The bender says that if both eyes are opened, the other eye will not be straight, so one eye should be closed.

He said to the queen: "Brave name but also to do so, I go to the monk that the queen to follow forever, how to straight."

Finally, he broke a branch of the tree, said to the queen: "This tree is broken and can be fixed again? Likewise, I am determined to cultivate a cut that can not be reassembled.Well, come back and let me sleep! "  Definitely so.

It is also a meaning to remind us on the path of the seminary to have a definitive, straight forward.

This is called beyond the mundane, not the melon, or go and keep repeating. You have to close your eyes to be straight, new beyond the realm, looking forward to the day out.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.11/11/2017.
