Quy Son Book Review (Part 6).

"One sickness is on the bed, all suffering is surrounded by force. Day and night worry, in the panic. The road ahead dim does not know about where? "

That is, when the illness is heavy on the bed waiting to die, then all the suffering to the urge is not running away. Actually, no one wants to be like that, but whether or not want to suffer. Because the body is not self, it is not active. At that time new fear fear, day and night worry do not know what to take to deal here! When the death comes, the karma I have created appears, there is nothing to deal with, then do not know where to go? The more fear of losing self-control, the more fear, the more fear the more mischief. So this is a great tribulation.

Come here to see his career long practice has no fulcrum, now how to be safe to leave, it is miserable! Should say that the road is dim before dim, do not know where to go! At that time no one to accompany the farewell, no one to make friends, alone to go alone nothing to look new to see the suffering. If even here to think about that, then there is no heart to let go, to neglect not to worry!

The fraternity carefully read in the Surangama to the later part about the dying person, the idea of ​​going up, the sinking and the six delivery of the message of the six horrible.That is, the eyes see horrible scenes, ears hear the voices make up the mind, suffering the hundred, have nothing to master.

So right now we have to practice, to take care of progress to get clear steps, because this is the path that everyone must go through. That is, there must be death, must go. If you do not study, no good karma, the end of life is a great suffering. Dead in the dark, fears of panic, it is dangerous!

This is the Quy Son warns all practitioners must know to prepare themselves, but not to late to repent and not timely.

"From now on repentance sin, thirst to dig wells to keep up? I do not worry early, the old age many sins. Dying dying  afraid of terror, flying birds flying, consciousness by industry. Like the debtors, whoever claims first, silk heart many, where the weight falls.

That is to know how to repent but how to keep up! Should be called new thirst to dig wells to keep up. Have to prepare before, while healthy and wise to take care of the practice to create a buoy for yourself, do not wait until the last minute then why.

At that time, no matter how much work to take refuge, how much more sinfulness to pull, the more confused the spirit, only suffering and suffering only! But who is this sin brought to me? Each person please check back to see where you need to do.

Starting from this minute has to do from the beginning, it is also timely, if to go to the weather later is late.

    Here Quy Xo reminds the dying person is a waste of a lifetime, how many fear, fear of dragging to call on anyone else. At that time, I was not afraid of old age, many old sin.

The practitioner tu tu liberation, that is Master Tran Tran.  The rank of sergeant who comes to the ceiling that comes to the point of death must fold his arms folded fear, fear like this or not? That is what we need to think carefully to take the brighter steps.

Because to this time called flying birds flying, conscious mind by the karma. As a debt bearer, he leads his life under the realm of that world, no self-reliance at all, called total slavery by karma. At this heavy falls, whoever claims first; In the mind of the puppet, lost all self-consciousness to choose the right career.

The flying bird is in the mouth saying the sparrow flies into the vase. Someone took a piece of silken silken gourd. By the time the piece of silk is punctured, the sparrow flies out.

He will seduce the spirit or the A-back-skin, while the body for the body, silky slice is for his life. By the time the network is full and then like a broken silk, wake up god. As the body of his warm, when the network is full A-back-to-skin immediately leave this body that followed the karma to give birth to another life. We are people who understand religious cultivation, then masterfully back to master.

In the source of Zen, Khue Phong explained:

"Q: As the enlightenment, do not finish the career, then after the network of spirituality will rely on?

A. All living beings have the nature of self-consciousness, not only from the innocent to the present never experienced. Therefore, the hope of accepting ourselves as our general, so new born love hate, then according to the creation of karma, according to the new life report, birth disease, many death cycles, but the awareness in the body is unprecedented. birth and death As the dream was dismissed that the body is still lying on the bed, the capital itself is not where the slots are sent. The crystal is not dim, obviously often know, from where to go nor where to go. The hope of accepting many life as the Tanh is happy, happy, sad, smooth flowing. Although this is the truth that can not be resolved immediately, need to constantly consider the decline gradually.

He said that although he saw the truth, but this love is not right there immediately, so also to cultivate.

As the wind stops, the waves slowly start to coalesce, where one can practice a coherent life of the Buddhas. Should not take the form of his body, do not accept this identity. That is to remember the unconditioned, the silence as his own, do not take this body to himself.

Take the mind that your mind does not receive thoughts.  The wisdom is called the mind, the mind that the mind, do not receive thoughts.

The idea if the initiator should not follow it, when the general network of natural karma can not be bound.  It means that thoughts begin to arise but not follow it but to return to the spirit that is the wisdom. Then when the natural network is mastered again, not bound by the industry.

Although there are warm body that go freely at will, to human realm, the heavenly life. If you love hate hate life, you can not change the body parts, change the bad or change the rough. If the flow is small, all of them are clear, and only the Vajrayana is enlightened, depending on the force of the thousands of beings that are conditioned, called it Buddha. "  If not freedom in itself. birth and death must remember the spirit of his wisdom, not follow the concept of death is also the owner. Even the warm body is also born again, but go freely or arbitrarily to the realm of heaven, that is also self-control.

So we learn to remember to progress tu, remember where you have the habit of living and return to the Tanh sense not follow the idea, according to the birth. Want to do this, right here must elaborately cultivate to deepen this seed, also wait until the dead, how to keep up? Thirsty to dig a well is late!

"Impermanence, meditation not stop, the network does not last, the time can not wait. Heaven three realms are not escaped, life itself like that life is not the same. "

Impermanence means death. Death always ready, always waiting for the opportunity that it leads us to go, no date waiting for anyone. So, said network is not long, time can not wait. So we have to always "put the letter on the head", always remember the death is not willing to let loose lung.

Just have a recitation of thoughts or thoughts, then remember to remember the word "Tu" to wake up, always always diligently deal with the devil monumental imperialism, there is time to greed, angry, indulgent If you think there is still time, and still a few decades to die, then the concept of lunging intermittently.

If we remember carefully, then this will motivate us to stay awake and less traveled.Remember that all of us who are sitting here are sitting on death, and the mind is letting loose.

And here the Patriarch said that the death came can not date, waiting for it, so without worrying what else to do? Unless the friars are as elaborate as the master, the appointment of Pluto is seven days to pick up.

In the monk Yinchuan monk has the master, one day suddenly found a demon to take away. He said, "I do not have free time for the master, can I make appointment seven days later?" Devil said: "Wait for me to submit to the king, if approved after seven days will come, Just a moment. " Finished it disappears. After seven days, the demon came to find him not fully.

Actually, it was not until seven days that the master of this new monk, while working he also tu tu, elaborate rather than normal, but not mature enough, not enough effort. add another seven days. If you did not practice in the past, then it would be difficult for seven days to cultivate.

"Heaven three realms are not escaped," that is in these three worlds. Then "life like this life is not the same", that is to leave the body, but to go back and forth, lurking in the three realms, life is not the same, do not know when ever finished. Do not think so afraid?

We have to know that each time we experience the life of each other is a layer of warm passion, which superimposed a layer of warm passion that is stacked more layers of suffering. So, if we elaborate not deep or not next generation birth will forget where to remember to return soon to worry, then create more new karma. Unless you elaborate carefully called accumulation of strong karma, the next birth will be remembered early.So there are seven-year-olds, eight-year-olds who do not teach, so it's early. Those are the strong accumulation of karma. When we remember early, we also had to create good conditions for him to return home early. If you do not meet the conditions that cover up, grow up not go to the family must be married and then do business, create new karma.

Therefore, we have to worry about the accumulation of heavy industry, for the deep, although not fully liberated, but the next generation, remember early and continue his way, not to stretch the road This birth, really happy what!

As the story of Arahanta Dhamma-sensitive in Ke Tan lived after the Buddha. The evidence of A-la-drought that is evidence in the mind, clean out of birth and death, the appearance is similar to the ordinary monks. He was in a mountain with three caves.

Then two of the monks from far away heard his reputation should come to worship.When we arrived at the cave at the bottom, there was an old monk dressed in ya, naked looking naked burning fire in front of the kitchen. Two monks do not know who is new to ask:

"Where do you come from, Elder Dormant?"

Flame burner:

 - In the room, on the top floor.

He pointed his hand. First layer above the third cave.

These two monks according to that only new find. When he arrived, he saw the fire sitting on the fire. Two new people are born suspected, think this is likely to increase.New says:

- Virtue is the noble, noble echoes throughout the realm of suicide-eddy, why bother to lower himself as a burning oven like that?

Venerable Master Dat-ma-secretary replied:

- I remember to be born long suffering life, assuming to bring both the head and hands to be burned furnace, I also will because they rise without burning, how much less this body parts work burning What's worth?

He added:

- I remember long ago I was a dog hunger for five hundred years, and only two times eaten. It was a time when people drunk alcoholic vomit at the side of the road, I multiply by meeting should be a meal. The second time the dog was born in a poor family, the second day they married the husband and wife porridge (the nodule has a small mouth, big bellies) and then have to temporarily leave. I am hungry, so I put my head back in the noodles, when I eat full, then I will not pull out. At that time, the family returned, they found so angry that the knife cut off my head always. I remember having carried the dog for five hundred years, in which even though I have twice eaten but lost my life once. So think about the long-term birth, turn around in the five lines where birth is also suffering.So today I have to be afraid of hard work that is not willing to burn the oven?

He recounts his past to warn people, because the saint Arhat should he have sufficient network, recalled before 500 lives each dog that can only be fed twice.

New life found in this rebirth nothing joy? Check back! Listen, we have not seen for reincarnations shudder of birth and death. Do you want to spend long hours in suffering? Today, each of us is blessed as human body, plus one more blessing that is the practice, so if you do not worry will fall back, do not worry or?

Because we are born and then the warm love to forget all the previous life, if we remember his previous life has many encounters with such painful scenes, then the new shivering fear, worry not to keep up. Now I do not remember to think that I have a healthy body is proud. There are relatively good family birth, from small to grow up without hardship and go to practice; And later people did not meet the wartime miserable, living in suspense should be easy to bear mind lung. On the other hand, it is necessary to look closely at the suffering in birth and death, and to cultivate the greatness of life, not to last so long.

So here Quy Xo Son reminded: "Do not smart and then the three realms have not escaped." That is up and down the three realms of life and life in it do not know when ever.

"The feeling of lament, the heart of the mercy! Can not be quiet, turn to remind each other.

Thinking here, Quyen Son sincere heart to everyone, so that must speak up to remind all smart to know again. See suffering as long as birth, so can not be implanted, but have to speak up but do not know anyone hear? But keep on asking!

Some people have not believed yet, because they have not seen the problem of suffering long suffering, only see the present. But if people are thinking and then come back to experience, will understand, will understand the teachings of Quy Son, are sincere words remind each other.

If we re-examine, then we find that tu tu is liberation for himself, not tu tu himself freed him. But why should he kindly remind so earnest? It is truly merciful to remind each other! Understand that new compassion! Next:

" Hatred by the birth of precious statues, the way to the Saint gradually far, Buddhist teachings, many people enjoy" .

He was sad for his late birth in the precious period, the way to the Saint is far away, so many Buddhists, many people are happy.

"The statue," the statue is only for the French statue. Dhamma is divided into three times: the Dharma, the Dharma and the Dharma. The same time, through the time of the Dharma to the legal period is relatively close to the main, to the end is always.

The word you borrow from the Chinese grapes: Manh, Trong, Quy. Strong is the head, The weight is the middle, the quarter is the end. For example: Strong winter is winter, winter is winter, Winter is winter.

So, how many years is his time? For over a thousand years, he also lamented that Buddhism was born, many people enjoy. If he was born at this time, then how much longer?

Dhamma is a good remedy to save sentient beings from the suffering of birth, to eliminate the affliction that is precious in the world but not often, but again, not to love!That's the point where you feel so sad!

While the Buddhist Dharma but the world is the focus of attention, although prevented also rushed so now I have a general reminder:

The door to open a few people,

Confusion closed to insert.

That is the door is open but few people go to, but the closed secret not to enter but to insert. To see that crazy island of human beings is so. So these are the true words of Quy Son Son reminded to all must awake progress!

In the past few years, in the Truc Lam Zen Monastery, many of us have realized that the spirit of cultivation is stronger than it is now. I remember the old days thanks to good conditions should meet the Dharma early, and soon clear this meditation. Even today, over thirty years ago, I did not dare to let go. Meanwhile, the fraternity now do not know how many people are brightening their big job but dare to enjoy! So if we take a closer look, what will be the end of his life, where will he go?

Here, the Coal Mineral Foundation is also to remind people to know diligently. At that time he also lamented, think of us today how will it?

Need to understand more, although have said that the time, the Dharma, Dharma Dharma that is speaking from time to time people, the law does not have. If we practice, and diligently practice, the Dharma will be transformed into Dharma. As today there are also enlightened people, not the door of enlightenment closed all, do not give yourself accomplishment. This gives us more confidence to progress.

"Narrow view to see the narrow message to the next. If it is not clean pride, it is difficult to turn away.

This is the humble words of the Quy Son, he told his students here that he said the site narrow view narrow. The purpose is to remind the learner to forget the self to learn the religious practice to expect a day of liberation, do not overhaul the self, but must be proud of pride.

You have to find yourself a lot of things to learn, do not have anything to put your self up high, living in love and not listening to anyone advised do not know mistakes to correct, so it is easy to go down It is difficult to avoid the fruits of suffering to yourself.

Because of cause and effect, I do not bring anyone. Today is enough grace to progress but not accept that grace that progress, so that pride barrier barrier and then sink back into delusion, regrettable!

Do not know how to listen to the remedies to progress, do not follow the way that I made mistakes and brotherly affection for reminding, not only did not receive the resounding return, said:  "I know it! My thing to worry about, does not involve you, do not interfere with people. "  That is the expression of pride, not so good.

Brotherly affirmative reminder error that refused to receive, again horny like fill, so that people do not remind, that is to make yourself more errors. Then the fraternity does not crave any more, that is, to drown yourself in deep sins, go down the road to lose. So be smart.

As the story Mr. De point Huizhou, is the disciple Zen Master Hui. Intelligent, smart, talented so he was assigned to hold jobs usually stay in the temple more than 30 years.

But the man who holds the habit of taking care of the cost of spending often. Also fraternal see so love affair bearing the result reminders, take care of the hair horn debt, he did not hear but also say arrogant style: "The whole year brought the horns are also only one just pair. " So there is nothing to worry about. So who else can remind?

Soon after, when he met Cao Cao in Taiwan, his relatives, like Kha Kha ..., brought all the accusations of his deeds. He was accused of beating with stick, and then pursued secular. Before causality has not come, say arrogant style. When causality comes, what is not said.

Then he was hiding at the Institute of Chemistry, again suffering from numbness and limbs shrink like a hedgehog, stretching out. People see that pull his legs out, the more the pain. Over three years he died.

Son Am Tạp Luc said this story, then there is a comment : " Huui Chau used crude mind to accept work, then despise cause and effect, so say the whole year brought only one pair of horn . But to me, I think, in the epistle of the three long months, one pair and the other pair come, countless hours. Bring this pair of horns is only a year! "

 That is in the three lines of evil, five months long, not easy as he said. One pair goes, the other pair comes, go for this pair, the other pair so that it will carry countless lives also, do not say a year only one pair only! That is the reminder to wake up to the next!

Because it is arrogant speech, but it is wise to listen carefully when the fraternity reminds them that the change is too good! Not only is not listening but also saying that.That is called benevolence causal, ultimately cause and effect, where to avoid! We must be well informed to prevent it.

So the practice is to know low, listen, not arrogant. This said if not clean pride, when the cause and effect is difficult to avoid.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.
