Therefore, I do not open the congress requiem. If entrust good for the Basilica or Daguan remedial materials and it is difficult to approach. They just need the courtesy in society, lost the true meaning of the son of man, diagnostic care, so definitely not open the sons Forum ".

Comment :

People today do a blessed festival boy, be good reputation it's fullness; even, Venerable retreat, the after closure for two days, thinking about organizational worry son, be on night calculation prepare for the open consultation, not always able to maintain or lose the spiritual and mindful.

For the possessions of life, longing will be no end, discharge not be left undone. Not only the secular state, where even people out there like that.

One day, after burning incense meditation, place a small consultations, our revelation map:

"Our teachers and thousands of thousands of times forget fame and profit, for frugal fun, mind worldly fame minimize and then, towards the idea of the natural purity of religion are extra large.

Then he arrived in the West to Mt Eye agar, creating a small am a roof like a boat, set up a table called 'the word'. In front of am was dripping rocks polished smooth back, rear mud paste drinking, each time the wind and rain the am again shaken. Master waiver offerings and attendant, clothes and everyday items also necessarily do not need, do not wash, do not shave the hair. Big belly you count small mouth, cut off the top half of the pot, a few days to eat a cooked meal, so entertaining; cave master in no elevator * no way to climb be. He has thrown away the ladder, cut off foreign coast, though he also is hard to see disciples.

Comment :

"Like the sun hanging out cloud nine, the higher virtues retreat high in the mountains of thousands of thousands of patience ** , before the following Hue Greek architect Gao Feng, two He indeed super beings canvas drop ceiling. Ago, I was Thien Son, entered the public schools, had looked down to see the canyon as high as thousands of staff, want thousands scene out front. Always means I went up to worship relics "of the word". Then before my eyes still subtle silhouette posture and the face of the great teachers of Cao Phong Dieu, I complain about their fate birth and postpartum late no close to hear him teach, does not prevent contact tears fall, long long time can not control! ".

1.16. No dinner

In The Province, Zhao Hung-Lent meditation, every night of food, called "bathroom '(third meal). Legend customary to eat this meal very hearty, luxury than midday meal, plenty of food. The practice of this damage is transmitted very long. Ancient times, there is a sublime moral elders (ie Zen Master Fa Hui) listen up room next to the food after noon did not stop the tears, lamented Buddhism decadent period, therefore, prohibited the ordained noon not eat anything, let alone the night to eat?! In the rule is written: "The life brandishing dishes into English, ghosts listen uncontrolled hunger, old fire burning natural". How much more people have night rest, brandishing baseball, machine, tray, cup ... sound transmission in the ear, fried, fried, cooked, blow, baked ... traditional flavors on the nose. Do not mind that for being compassionate teaching, liberal desire for abdominal agreed mouth, such interest may peace? Ask: 'Midnight stomach to do? ". Fruit can eat some fruit, candy, not animal pots, cooking, can help the hungry. Again, people keep to the lane, from the afternoon until the next morning, during that time, except to drink water, eat something. We evenings used stuff confectionery, fruit, medicine tai that hunger even do not know enough, result is excessive gone.

Accessories:

Buddha Law is the basis of a physician, for the that eating properly noon conditions to live healthy and long life, suitable to reality now. Today demonstrated medicine. Before feeding methods using high heat, many whites of the eggs had been overthrown, completely negative, this feeding method is the road to obesity, high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries ... mental illness, it is easy to put to death quickly. Vegetarians can avoid the heart disease and cancer prevention have already been proven and popular; midday meals, people will lean a bit, but ultimately does not lead to poor nutrition, mental possible. Tao also said: "I want to live long, gut purity". Nowadays people who eat less live longer, such as Venerable Quang Kham, he lay Ly Binh Nam, are over 90 years old. Looking back, the Buddha Shakyamuni, below the calendar to you patriarchs, no one not ascetic achievement, even ate a sesame seed, rice, ubiquitous. Mencius said: "He who wants to do great things in the galaxy, all before his labored tendons, physical hunger, suffering his mind even without the disorder, referred to as the mind human nature, for the benefit increased by not less. " Correction talent lives longer need to 'labor tendons, hungry body', how much more people towards the great ultimate, can 'day filled', and hungry to eat?

Case again, "prosperous, think about the lewd", will be the major hindrance to the practice, who can not know that. The benefits of eating the right meal is large, small, you can extend the life of, body condition Jiang, big, e can willow born free. By Noble's son, is 8 men with a 'boyfriend'. Son means eating the right meal. Great merit of the Noble son men to what extent? The magnetic level if hold 8 worldview son, the reborn every disorder. Buddha in a very important moment. If at the time of death not as the 'way mind any disorder, crazy', very easy depending on the industry, very dangerous! Van least attention disorder, crazy, what to do?

Firstly, thanks to the support concept of ashrams for Buddha, mindful reminder, type inaugurated lead, see the statue ... so organized ashrams 'inter-communal and inter-organic' is also very important, this is also a ways reflects the practice Mahayana Buddhist concept of import and spirit of equality.

Second, thanks to the discipline, ensuring great strength. Viewers of Medicine are considered in the target ear any more life, know that the biggest benefits of Medicine Buddha beings in samsara is reborn into the world Vidudabha His Pure Land in the East and Western World of Ultimate Bliss of Amitabha Buddha. In the business have said the following:

"Again, Man Thu Su Loi, if there are four of them, monks, nuns, she switches, Specials her cell and the purity of the faith, good men or women ... can life over eight boys world, or going through a year, or three months, life over what they have learned, by virtue of this prayer being to the West bliss, listening to Dhamma Infinite Life Buddha said; yet to be specified, If heard the name Buddha Su Luu Ly Quang Tathagata, on his deathbed eight great Bodhisattvas: Manjushri, Avalokiteshvara, Dac University of Strength, Endless Italy, ethnic Chinese, United Drug, Shanghai Pharmaceutical, Maitreya, the eight Bodhisattvas comes from out of nowhere, the only way to get to the other world, from the golden flower in the natural color of birth ".

Whether it can be seen that, morality only three months, there were eight great Bodhisattvas to catch on in the West, the very convenience. Compassion of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas think a lot of means for living beings, just because we do not know that advantage. So, the Buddha if not one mind any disorder, not crazy, you should hold the world, eat the right meal for good!.

1.17. Chemistry grace heresy

In the city of Van Pagoda Sangha, one thing like this: "to raise money, goods left coast probably, expelled from painting subjects" .

A teacher says:

"No need to be banned from this, chance sown field of merit of being less reduced. Because, although offenders of grace heresy, violating causality, but can make being demolished nature Xan participate, let go of possessions, the benefits and merits. In the old days, when the Buddha was in the world, who made ​​the names of the Buddha to make a living Buddha ever since these people a ban? "Mode .

I replied:

"The words of the teacher of course not wrong, good heart, but I only know one that does not know there are two. Chemistry grace heresy, a false result dim, the charity said, because it only takes direct care, after not giving anymore, can you make people break San participate? When Buddha was in the world, with the disciples traveling goods in the far back, came across a lost village, people in the area saw the teacher monks remote hastily closed off. The new teacher asked some people nearby why the state of fear so the master monk, who answered the reason is because people are afraid of the teacher of grace heresy! Before the teacher monks worsening of conditions heresy, so they are afraid of your teacher here is like that. Things happen so your teacher after returning defect reported to the Buddha, the Buddha heard to call the monks monks of the left coast is probably to blame, why this can be said for the Buddha established world banned!? Be careful, do not go to the left of grace maybe ".

1.18. Teacher teaching

There are wizard lectures and sermons have merit, invisible medium change characteristics that beings without knowing it, but not being aware and responsible, communicate back to you with the devil (easy asking for trouble and danger), we should compare the two classes of people are more or less mistakes. I say not. Teachers teaching experience, if you are not careful, can also be asking for huge mistakes. For just a method, a method similar to easy mastery. The variety of texts, want each per mastery is very difficult. Therefore, the ancients, more research, learning methods, such as specialized research meaning of the Lotus Sutra, or specialized on Flower Adornment Sutra ... now, every business, every argument preached, from you what great faith affordable senior high they smarter? But that is not level competent teacher teaching guides, how dare egotistical? health by knowing shallowness, their subjective inference that said, like to promote new, eccentric and nasty critic predecessors? Just have a look at texts a bit carried explained, but not a bit of Deliberations promote clear. This is not true! Commit to long-term research, the public school is fine-intensive, multi-faceted research discussed, held in the heart desires inherent direction as the original light, not avaricious intrigue, his own fame so many new merit without mistakes. Or, someone asked: "Master Value said: 'For the avaricious that propagate Buddhist scriptures also full name of the Bodhisattva, words like?' . Oh, master politician said this is because encouraging people who are full of compassion but still lacks the Bodhisattva vow in life being told, not because of those who participated fame said. Without thinking, learn the meaning of this statement, it is easily misunderstood.

1.19. The interests of persons

Do you ancient great faith says: "The best is the home person" ; folk also handed down a sentence like this: "A child of nine born natural flow * . " statement so are praise, praise, but not speak clearly defined place the interests of the family. After all, the interests of the ordained is that? It's hard to say, who do not need to plow, no-woven fabric which still have enough food, clothing, that is the benefit of renunciation? Or say, no need to buy a house, do not need to rent a room, but still have a place of residence, it is the interests of the ordained? Or say, the king of gods supporters, faithful benefactor reverently, on being taken away by the soldiers, as not harassed people things but are naturally happy, saints, liberal, which is beneficial Benefits of home person?

The ancients verse say this:

"The grain of the

Large titles Mount Meru

If major religion fails

With feather horns team returns * "

Said: "One day old rice Pluto calculate money with him, see what you get compensation?" . Watch the full show, ordained, whereas sealed inside a tree disaster, also said benefits? The so-called benefits of renunciation is able to escape suffering, extinction of ignorance, they are legal unborn rings, willow escape birth and death, this new job is supreme, exalted above all, in the sun species , who, moreover, parents clan can by that grace triêm merit action. If you do not like this word, despite rich to universal natural gold silver, to be glorified as national teacher for seven generations emperor go again (such as the Food Bar) would not benefit anything to say! So now I'm very afraid, afraid to commit this big mistake, and told fellow practitioners together wary, fearing that religious.

GENERAL DISCUSSION

Monks are Sanskrit Bikkhu, Chinese translated as bhikkhus. Live a, pure new practice called bhikkhus. If there are more demands, more nurturing, involved many, this is not contrary to the original meaning of the word monks? This chapter documented the from wizards Man, down to all the great virtues, that time until today there are over a thousand years of history, but the style and atmosphere of the gentlemen, there are still handed down until today not annihilate, heard the high, more gas your morning he not determined to rise may deserve to be monks?
