Lecturer at the Xa Loi Pagoda -
1998.
Thread we remind you today is: "The Buddhist is looking back to the happiness liberation." You paying attention, comprehension of the full and new applications is good practice.
after the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Root, he found the fellow practitioner before his five brothers are overseas-ceiling-like to preach. First teaching is the Four Noble Truths, which is hard to first base, said the suffering is the truth of this life. Buddha said suffering, why do I say that practitioners find the happiness of liberation, which is fun. So contrary to the mind of the Buddha or not?
When looking through Buddhism, people do not understand that Buddhism seems pessimistic, cynical. But deep, absorbed the teachings of the Buddha then, we see the opposite. Buddha said suffering is only on the results, because results are easily spotted and known. When you know the results then, he rejoined, only to personnel. Cause it produced fruit size. When people I know, flat out, the results are no longer human.
Now scientists are finding clues to wipe out the sum of ten thousand dollars, based on that result to wipe out people, never to the results from human. Because the result is obvious, that we find the result then people easily, but before speaking of the results then just harder. As we now have orange trees, are eating oranges, sweet oranges said. Those who enjoy the taste of oranges asking: where is this Cam? By nature, we will explain to the nursery from seeds orange, sprouting, tree, leaves, flowering, results. It is what is seen, proved, while the old people, were old then, we can not show others that thorough. So the spirit of Buddha is suitable for science now.
If people do not understand, listen to the Buddha said life is suffering, bring this body is suffering that Buddhism is pessimistic, Buddhism depression, etc. .. Suffering is the fruit that we know they must wipe find its cause. If you know the person who created oversized, we immediately suppressed, naturally no longer hard results. If the results are no longer suffering, then be happy. Please do not private, but only when all suffering. That is the spirit of Buddha.
Buddha said suffering that we find out the cause of suffering, know the cause then get rid of it. Then we get rid of all suffering, that is peace, freedom. So the purpose of the Buddha is like we are all suffering, to be liberated, not teach us to suffer. Cultivation methods that are not pessimistic. You look at people who understand religious practice, to live with the director, often shaking his head, chuck, sighs and laughs often Hoai? How much is own answers to these problems we need to understand.
who know origin tu take always wipe out the cause of suffering, get rid of them aside is no longer suffering. Suffering called out happily. But a pity for us today, Buddhists, practitioners who do not find reasons to get rid of suffering, the Buddha for every child needs all suffering necrosis. Meet the sadness, the suffering associated very temple to burn incense, earnestly Lord Buddha, the Buddha would give me grace to the end of suffering. Everything is based on the Buddha's power and not spend meticulous practice.
is the teaching of very real and not fiction, but the Buddhist, we should see weak familiar Buddhist disease just as the genie. Meet the suffering than just what the Buddha would reduce the suffering, not known to suffer less. It is the weak point, mistakes we Buddhists. The Buddhist must find the happiness of liberation. I mentioned a few basic points to find the source of your peaceful liberation.
In Buddhist would say: "Eight beings suffering: birth size, elderly suffering disease, suffering, suffering death, pain loving farewell, for sudden pain, suffering and resentment chapter five warm slag suffering. That bowl of suffering. " Thus suffering even more fun. We carefully reviewed, the suffering that was hard for everyone or only to those who do not know the reason?
A. Born of suffering.
According to Buddha, born of two parts. First, after they leave the womb pain and hardship. Second, in our life, if not religious, do not understand the whole life is nothing but suffering, without any happiness. Thus was born of suffering and pain in life. When a baby who is born not laugh or cry oa oa all. It is difficult because of the birth pains too, should be crying for birth mother. The cry is said to birth size.
Then from youth to old age decades, a little life it is great fun. You try to check the lifetime view, what we want, most are only as good idea as the least attention? Make sure no one says most wanted. He is a prosperous family with food, clothing, but difficult to teach children. Some are easy to teach children, but the struggling families in need etc. .. reversible everything, never met, such as your will. So most are dissatisfactions.
born man who dreams of happiness, but spent four, fifty years of age to look back my life without the happiness that much unhappiness. At day hearing lost relatives or go to another country of origin, etc. .. Or have something to talk it makes me sad, not suffering. No one is perfect happiness. A lifetime, three-quarters were pain, only a quarter of an fun, actually is.
We know birth is suffering, we have to do now so that all suffering? How do we live in a woeful plane that has always been happy? That is not difficult to end. If you live in this life clear that life is temporary, that it will take, no one remain. So we live on that day was good, but we have time for self-cultivation, for us to do good, help people. One day life is a golden day, we have used up to care for oneself, for people, how to own and are in peace. Making a good thing is that we are a source of joy. We pass this suffering by living a life filled with happiness.
Having said that will have you think, if they help the rich people, the other easy. As for us poor, without access to help someone, how to have fun. I would remind the world that have much more fun, just scared we did not do it.
For example, we do not have money to beggars or contribute to flood relief, etc. .., but the baby was going fall, we support up, soothed, comforted advise it, so happy? We do not do to save money we save through body work, with words. Use words to help the body and reduce pain. Suffer less as they are happy, happy people, we become happy. The fun does not cost anything, just takes a little work. Where such a joy to look hard. Just to see an ant falls below puddle, we picked it up to the dry cow glad it was fun and we also.
he knew from looking past myself more angry, and this has reduced feel less immediately. Met who are in peril, to rescue her from human to animal, species also helped joy. So we live to benefit all sentient beings. The possibility that small, narrow, but with sincerity of heart, there is also happy then.
If we live, though life is suffering, or birth is suffering, but the day we picked also picked up a lot of fun . It is our practice smart, smart to understand Buddhism, do not bow to the Buddha for fun. Where Buddhism is not to be, we must make to get joy from myself. The suffering of birth, but if we are living beings become happy, not suffering.
Two. Elderly suffering.
Why old pain? Because I do not know any old back and forth, remember me, remember me, sad cheerless, all authorities to charge the other person, to find aging out of sight, dark. So old age is suffering.
People should know how to use age-old work. These do not have any responsibilities at home, look for what or what good parenting and teaching children. Bring texts or, the good book to teach children, it was fun then, what to do something more.
Just like us, live a day is a day to do something for yourself. Benefits for you to be happy for where there is suffering. So says the old format or fun? How old are also more experienced young people. Why do not we bring that experience back to the next instruction. So old age is not a factor, not the left. Every day we live is worth the old life is happy, not suffering.
3. Suffering the disease.
This most acceptable. Does anyone where pain without moaning? What is hard not to moan! Many coal-winded I get sick, prolonged year after year it boring! Should you see patients that are suffering.
But with the eyes of Buddha, patient not suffering. Why not suffering? Because the Buddha's body by the grace of, including land, water, wind and fire. Nirvana Business says big four are the four snakes, water snakes, fire snake, ground snake, the snake wind. I would say more specifically, water is a copperhead snake in the water, fire was a copperhead snake fire snake cobra land is land, a copperhead snake wind clouds. Four captive tiger snake in a basket, then they must bite each other, fighting among themselves. Farmers saw four snakes themselves against each other, making this the debtors themselves insecure and again, they must intervene for them to be reconciled with each new saddle.
We brought the country close air fire, including four in harmony with nature other? At the fire to win the day, then for something hot to drink and cool, that regulate fire cobra. Few countries today won the cold fire trembling, to make something warm to drink, that regulates the water snake. Less cloudy day tiger snake bite soil, then we hit the wind cry, to fight the wind or find other ways to do this for yourself out, new light wind, so I say: "The wind blows the earth tremble." We always fight each other. We have to regulate them. So relaxed or suffering.
Everyone has the disease. If it is not mild illness, no disease more or less sick, not one disease completely. Because the disease is common suffering of all species! Many patients moaning and rolling. Ren is suffering. But now that practice, when the disease we have to do? We see four snakes, see how to win her, beat her any. Know the four poisonous snakes are fighting each other, we do not accept this as truth itself. Four should have gathered themselves, but because of the assembly should resist this body size.
We know it is unlikely, not durable, nothing important should suffer less. Often pain we suffer because the body is above all, for fear of death. If it is the Minister aware of conditions and the fine, which dissolves well pleased. If it was we used to do useful things, it takes then we go a disengaged,'s nothing but fear. If the pain does not fear death even pain, where it has lost.
Once there was a Zen master is sick, the teacher to Tri said, "O monk, the Venerable disease without illness?" He replied: "Oh da oh da!" The moan that it has no form should not sick, but this disease is the disease itself. So we know right where the body is temporary conditions. Yes, there must be the tan, nothing important. No less important is suffering.
same time we also know that even in this body the true, formless, it is hosted by itself. Know it, do yourself a pain, there is talk of body aches, see our pain is not pain.
4. Die hard.
Everyone could see the dying gasp, agonizing restlessness very hard, to say death is suffering.
person if smart practice, especially meditation will find others. When sitting in meditation from an hour to an hour and a half times times, two hours, the more foot pain untold. But try to endure, then it will win through always, do not hurt. Is a brave win. Since there are so brave to win it.
When we die, our body disintegration of elements broken, do not hurt. While it pains us to see that it is corrupt. And the "know" that no corrupt corrupt, not pain. Knowing so, death is not suffering. So the old Zen master Tu Minh in China can speak verse: Birth as pedal east, lower death like his shirt. Winters are cold, warm pedal is fun. Hot summer, decent wet sweat shirt, his shirt was going out as well. With birth and death are known practitioners such as games, nothing, nothing important of all suffering.
Only religious people do not know, life care protection, care, provide support to this body, so when this corrupt body, play to not know where to depend. So that suffering. Fun is suffering or in known or unknown tu tu only. This body is but a tan but the boss does not take what they are suffering. So death is not suffering.
Five. Ai suffering separation.
That is the one you love that should be separated from suffering. If we know love is the root of suffering should love to go down then suffer less.
In most loved, people mistook Buddhism too dry, not knowing anyone injured. I used examples, such as a small stream, flowing water from upstream is very strong, because many small streams which water it flowing. But the immense sea, seeing as it does not flow that actually flows underground. If not, how can the net, big water.
Also, tie yourself in the world of friendship, friendship, and when far away to be miserable. People from extending compassion all beings, who we should trade. Because all be like the sea trade, not flowing so no pain. Love that tie is suffering, but from the commercial heart of all people are not suffering. This person is away, how many people we have to care for, have a free trade Where memory. Such kindness is overflowing heart to the village, there is no limit up. And comments are love tied up, that the suffering individual tie. So hard to say farewell charity. If we stop being patriotic by which the natural end of all suffering, will be happy soon.
6. Suffering a sudden demand.
Bridge is expecting, is not accidental as it should be so hard. We want or expect anything without the suffering. If we were not even expecting anything, today's anxious to live today, not tomorrow, expect peace of mind. Every day we do all the good, good work, this study helps the other person; not help people, help animals, not far to high for what we have is at peace. So just flat greed is natural for all suffering, should speak out greed for instant happily.
7. Resentment chapter format.
animosity that is hard to meet again. You hate someone bitter that they sit in front of me and again, is suffering? Make hard. Now we do not hate anyone crave is no longer suffering. No suffering is already happy. Where so happy again, suffering from? In the confusion that hard, put away the happy ignorance.
We really pitiful. I often say, as have some who are going on a boat across the sea, the waves as the boat to flip stalling. At that time people have free time to quarrel, anger each other, or how to make anyone worry from death? Also, in this world how much everyone is looking for an easy second tribulation wait, everyone is so pitiful. I was miserable, and everything around over the more pitiable. So the trade off each other, where anger has made misery. Undesirable anger, wisdom or wild person?
So that the world not just angry wisdom and again, some people even said: "I am angry with him for decades and not before!" He embraces not know that I'm angry inside the rock contains coal fire, it'll burn emaciated withered, but also showing me so angry for several decades. Anger much more harm, no benefit at all. The factory is over we should be clear with each other and laugh, but temporary life!
Often in our hearts always unforgettable two classes of people: One is that your loved ones, two are the people you hate. So after death will see two groups. See also Trade and see hate. Should religious people have discharged that anger, hatred is not anyone else.
In fact we were ordinary, they have not been told not angry, but angry should give a little color. Buddhist scripture which says: "Increased hate any way sufficient", ie not more than one night up anger. We also get angry when you hear the left ear, but a little angry and left without having to go back there tomorrow. If anyone mad embrace and again, that is the cause to meet again tomorrow. We ended resentment mind, we are happy.
8. Five warm slag suffering.
That warm years this powerful body, the pain was too manic. Conversely if we know how to use body warmth to proceed in practice, it will happily. I usually like when you cross the river, no boats, thanks to its log entries to wade through the river. Log when it is useful. But the river was then known to go out logs should not regret.
Body also, everything morbid illness, then we brought in accidentally, you must use it to mean. Use my own benefit, for the wake, because the advanced practitioner, it is useful. If providing nursing care for themselves that much, to date it took the pain. So too should take pity this body immediately find other relatives. Many good at focusing the body, the body must also have bad shooting. So that is born in hell, hungry demons, animals. We do not remember your body, but only takes advantage of it to benefit all living beings, to their religious progress. It is known to use body. Know yourself is fun to use and not suffering.
***
Thus eight sufferings are not really suffering.
Only when we
love, we see it is hard. If we are aware this is no longer suffering. Buddha said that suffering
for us to wake up, wake is no longer suffering, which is to be happy.
In economic
Nirvana, Buddha taught the verse:Chu impermanence ofTranslation:
birth and death, legal Thi
Sanh certainly kill kill
kill President of touch .
The impermanence of
birth and death have legal
Sanh and then kill kill
kill President is happy.
Action means all officers of reciprocity, the delivery performance in the world are impermanent, not lasting, it is the law of birth and death. From body to mind administrative action, both of legal birth and death. All things quiet birth and death, all the money they passed away. Quiet place that's happy. We understand the principles, applications must be smart like that.
One, do not accept the truth itself is impermanent. Two, to calm down the mind is impermanent birth and death, then we'll all be happy format. For the person reciting the Buddha, to the Buddhist concept of mind. When your mind to kill all new born Bliss realms. For the meditation, if the mind is silent birth and death, so should the mind arises, it is fun.
Buddha taught us that the issue is impermanent, are measures of birth and death. Let us not bigotry, not nostalgic, not too fondly, that must make all the birth and death, all that silence, they passed away peacefully joy will come to us. In its inner, if any other worry about a deluge this, then his face withered Xau. Conversely, if your mind poetry oral history, no one thought to worry at all, then his face was cheerful nature. Thus, the birth and death, then silence passed away (joy) is money. Be smart religious people always try to put your mind come to kill her quietly. It is the happiness of the greatest practitioners.
***
In summary, we are happy or suffering Buddhist?
Buddhist
practice is fun. Buddha said that suffering for us to find out the cause of
pain and suffering it happily. So Buddhism pessimistic or optimistic? People do not understand Buddhism
so misjudged, for Buddhism is pessimistic, cynical. The proper understanding of
Buddhism is known to find the source of happiness, know how to find the source
of liberation and not suffering as people think. We hope that all monks, nuns and Buddhist after I explained, you understand and practice the application, it is worthy of the renouncer, worthy laymen rightly, no longer makes the sufferings of sadness, sorrow. Now that you know to spit out human suffering and be happy together. Stem pulled all her suffering, Ta-Bliss turned into, what to look for the remote.
Once again I wish you to hear, understand, and practice and be happily together. END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUNS.( GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY ).10/8/2012.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
