SURANGAMA SUTRA TEACHING AWARD.4.

Is that the life and death of every living being. It is in the means of the Lotus Sutra teaches that: only one of the Buddhas of conditions that occur in the world. It's like living beings, "Buddhist enlightenment enter revelation knowledge". But Buddhist revelation knowledge? It is in all beings, everyone is full of Buddhist wisdom, wisdom duty hybrid like Buddha. So Buddhist wisdom that the Buddha wanted to say here is foot care, is eternal Buddhahood often, but because of human ignorance obscures should not notice it. The duties of this nature such as a gold mine waiting to explore, not yet manifest. So the Buddha Buddha beings opening up knowledge to purity, peace in the world, passed away tan this. Such as gold is mixed with sand stones, Buddhahood and sorrow too. Defilements, the Buddha nature disappear so if we can resolve the disturbing part, there is a Bodhi. That Bodhi is enlightenment.

All six of conditions cause the Buddha Shakyamuni theory of prime Surangama:

1) Thi Van, HOT The force that is multicultural count on that distracted concentration: Venerable Ananda Buddha attendant for over 25 years and is known as the first multicultural because every conference he would write remember the words of the Tathagata in a natural way, great depths. Although a large school, know more, but Ananda neglect to seriously cultivate concentration. Every day he does not use the meditation that just learned to see the book should be very low power. Learned to see the book only is Prajna Document without practice Prajna Food Minister is never enlightened. So when faced with evil pay Saticala is he was her worth - Mesmerized right. In addition, he has kindly dependence that his brothers uncles certain of the Buddha, the Buddha will help him become a Buddha, whether religious or not does not matter. Because his hazard such complaints should not meditate, but not meditation, not, never force.

2) Canh Cuong Hue, they're mean enough to caution those innate intelligence, but rely on your wisdom mind to attempt any district. People who are "crazy wisdom" often do the opposite of arrogant, crazy, is not righteousness, but they still persisted that his work is right. So Shurangama Sutra will be a warning to help them wake up, modify mistakes, take the right path, back to live with righteous thoughts and eliminate evil evil intentions. Therefore, she has taught:

"Good training and personnel reviews, real honesty" means that if human beings but to do good time to bring claims, want to let everyone know it is not righteousness to do good but desire the title " good "only.

"Evil human framework, means evil" means to have made ​​the evil that deliberately hide, afraid of certain people know, it is the evil.
So if we do not accept your work, leave far sides, no good without evil, the natural return to the purity of nature, then there will be "such as real estate, willow willow often clever".

3) Only Truth Center, Show Basing Nature: Surangama Sutra is a business of a kind cut teachers. Such was the direct human mind, the nature of the Buddha. The business is about "nature" means "knowledge of nature" to help them return to life with permanent foot care and the nature of his own pure invention. In other words Shurangama Sutra is just feet mind and manifest the inherent nature exact nature of every sentient being.

4) Thi Tanh Dinh, Special Food meant to show the nature and encourages realization. Spiritual cultivation of many kinds and of course, not necessarily only Buddhism teaches the practice that even the pagan teaching practice. But the difference here is the Buddhism teach beings amendment to just quantitative, but not from me because, for the religious, as many "wrong a glass, walk a mile." On the way to practice, the practitioner will face how that karma karma. In doing this, the Buddha taught from "fifty kinds am ma" to help the author elaborately growth, cultivate the power to initiate the open nature of that "course of treatment".

5) sub Islands, Except Medical Or: Great Shurangama Prime is the practice rare, rare thing in the world because it can destroy thousands of memory lifetimes crazy ideas, not righteousness impure mind . Indeed, this economic power to eliminate the crazy ideas from very far of all sentient beings without going through three up hundreds of thousands of past life memories. Scripture also eliminate even the subtle suspicion that the naked eye can not see, ears to hear and the mind can think of. Whenever they arise suddenly, the concept associated with three types of economic or arise. Eliminating these crazy thoughts and eliminate the suspicion or subtle karmic Thursday of doing so.

6) Ming Yee Mon, advantage Kim Hau: Shurangama to introduce subjects Equality and technical means. Equality is the fact, are eight things that is most things, the equality minister, which is not wrong. Also means the subject is the right to legal means turn right, not true, as a means to lead in fact legal. So the right solution is a temporary teaching while the new law is that the doctrine of perpetual change.

Since there are six of conditions that should Buddha theory Shurangama Sutra, this time business was born?

I heard something like this: At that time in the monastery States Complete in truth is Phiet, Buddha with a thousand two hundred and fifty the Arhat to attend. We monks are all great Arhats reach outflows, through the realms, according to the Buddha Zhuan Falun, keep the precepts strictly essential, as the model for the three worlds, the wealth relative to goods of living life in the future and help them to overcome binding ceiling of labor. Led by Venerable Sariputta, Venerable Moggallana, Venerable Q Si Na, author Phu Lau Na, Venerable Di Da La Ni Tu, religion author abandoned and religious author Specials Ms. Ly. Also there are Pratyekabuddhas, Infinite and commodity distribution center of the Buddhist site.

During the forty-nine years of preaching, the Buddha only export and not write economic theory so before the Buddha's death, Mr. Ananda white Buddha that: "When aggregation classics, first business should be to question what ? ... "He tells us that:" I heard something like this, in the meantime Buddha somewhere ... how many of the audience is the one who ... "So this Shurangama scriptures record the Buddha's teachings in monasteries States Complete, into That La Phiet ... and hearing them in 1250 the great Arhats ... Therefore, the four words "I heard something like this," ie "As marketing Russians" of Chinese characters at the beginning of each business are his words Ananda testamentary records of Buddha to verify that this business is the main he heard Buddha said, not as he arbitrarily set. Again, during the first canonical aggregation, when Venerable Ananda proceedings arts classic all there in a mass of 500 great Arhats heard. If the public does not agree, speak up immediately, willing to shut.

Arhat is the fourth fruition of Thanh Van. Once you kill all the ants or, from or even subtle or that is has destroyed the defilement obstacles to be completely pure, freed himself from samsara and attain Nirvana. But this is only ie sub Nirvana means a temporary stop to think is not a complete Buddhist religion. The Arhat must continue to move to Mahayana practice the Bodhisattva operation, the new Nirvana which called security facility that is completely new here is Nirvana, true. The Arhats have the following virtues:

- To offerings: is bring wisdom and morality has shown that providing, offering to all beings. This is the result beg artist.

- The effects: kill all enemy afflictions. This is the result of destruction of evil.

- Code: freedom from the cycle of birth and death, out of the three worlds.

Pratyekabuddhas is poisoned the sense for those born at the time no Buddhist should run under karmic law Thap Nhi that attained Pratyekabuddha.
Precepts of Buddhism is divided into two categories:

1) About Bhikshu is Hinayana world: The monks have 250 precepts fundamental and the monks and nuns 348 precepts.
2) About Bodhisattva Mahayana world.

About Hinayana Checkout document is to keep "body" not violating ie body while the gender of the Mahayana Bodhisattva, holding "that" do not commit that is the world. Now take your sex adultery as an example: When a young girl passing by. If gender based Hinayana, the monks only this transgression when you touch or violate her, vice versa based on the Bodhisattva's not necessarily correct practice or otherwise violate women new sect called transgression that in mind this is not clear, from the idea of ​​adultery, because this already transgression.

One day there was a practice on the boat to cross the river. Wonder where the driver is again very beautiful young monk just make glanced at her. As to the side, instead of having to pay like everyone else, she ferryman asked for money twice monk. Surprisingly, the monk asked

- Why benefactors doubling my money?

She ferryman said:

- The boat, they just should I pay a boat, and he is both boat and watching me, so I have double the money.

After completion of the Buddhist monks to go back to the wharf to the temple, but this time the monks took the hat back to the river. When the terminal instead of just paying a coin graph drive reverses to four. Too surprised, the monk asked:

- Why benefactor demanded my money too much?

She ferryman said:

- When crossing the river, he just took my eyes so I asked for money to double, now back He did not look at me with eyes that he saw me in mind. The look of the eye is limited so I only require two co-infinite, boundless imagination, who knows what he was thinking or wanted to do so I have to ask for money four times as such.

At that time to the day of their chronic abuse and suicide increase, so Bodhisattvas in the ten directions to apply for Buddhist resolve any doubt on the practice. Buddha spent throne, seated drills pregnant because mass the unprecedented legal declaration market, profound sense, magic sounds such as birds sermon frequency shift wheel old world wines in the ten directions. Topping them Bodhisattva Great Tri Manjushri Law United Death Bodhisattva.

Indian summer is very hot but rainy women often wore simple clothing, not confidential, while the monks walk barefoot, easy to step on insects, worms should Buddha the fetters law lowering detention all bhikkhus to fetter lower 90, not out. In fetters lower time bring real objects Buddhist Vihara offerings.

Man down slowly as the Buddha regulatory rules so that three months worry monks meditating Buddha, practice without having to be a Buddha. So press on the home down to where the Buddha together. If anyone have any faults, request errors and Buddhist monks because of their legal work of repentance. This is called up ma. For the last three days down Tu from the day the monks criticize myself transgression? If people see or comfort their transgression, to repentance for all the poor.

Buddhist scriptures there are two types. When Buddha preached by the new mass pleas of questioning is called menstruation. That is the like Kim Sutra, of Vimalakirti, the Lotus Sutra, the Shurangama economic Player ... Also second type of business as the Buddha arbitrarily say business is entitled to have the word "Buddha" theory. It is the Infinite Life Sutra, Amitabha ... English sound wonderful teachings of the Buddha are meant sermon rang around ten world and not necessarily only in the Shurangama Sutra and the Buddha because of the mass revealed unprecedented measures, have never heard of the so-called deep sense.
Meanwhile, King Pasedena's hydrophobic day time father should do the boys rose ceremony, shopping enough precious dishes and visiting Buddha in person and text Great Bodhisattva to provide a meal. In the senior author, also set the left margin lay up, look forward to visiting Buddhist offerings. Buddha told Manjushri He split the Bodhisattva and Arhat home boy offerings owners. Duy his own Ananda was invited, far less on should not keep up in the Sangha.

Pasedena king is a king not only is he intelligent, a great lay He was a devout guardians are in the time of the Buddha s time. He ruled verse referred to as the capital city of Sravasti. There is a wonderful king is born on the same day with Buddha. Was born in the time of the Buddha is a great blessing that was born the same day as the Buddha, the great merit so much. But this is not a coincidence that, because in past lives the Buddha at the ten thousand lifetimes Buddha name is Long Vuong Quang Tathagata. Then two monks and practice the Bodhisattva Way. A obtained from the Bodhisattva (predecessor King Prasenajit) and the other documents are dishes Bodhisattva (formerly Buddha). So when Prince Siddhartha attained Buddhahood, there are many Bodhisattvas of the ten the world guardian incarnation.

In this economic Bodhisattva localization Monkey King Pasedena to help Shakyamuni. During Buddha layman Vimalakirti is also great Bodhisattva from Noble cartoons world guardian body bourgeois him to the Buddha. Buddha is a good example for everyone especially our home, and he Vimalakirti is a good example for them at home. So in today's world, there are many custom Bodhisattva conditions to lay incarnation, as king, doctors, workers, the poor, the sick, or hundreds of thousands of different jobs but only one goal is to save and help them preserve the Dhamma, practice the Dhamma and live with the right approach to life joyful liberation and enlightenment. Even the Buddha as a bodhisattva practice in the world of Kasyapa Tathagata name is Thien Hue Bodhisattva and when He was in heaven Religion faults before entering the reincarnation of Prince Siddhartha name is Ho Minh Bodhisattva.

At that time, Ananda walking alone on the way there Venerable and A Soap Le and go and no one offered up in the mind forward to seeing the final home boys. When before, Ananda had heard the Buddha rebuked two false religious Mahakasyapa and the Dhamma Bodhi on alms are not equal. He Mahakasyapa select alms from poor families while the Venerable Bodhi Professional select rich alms. Ananda decided to obey the duality equality of the Tathagata. It is for boys, not as noble or despicable, even food is dirty clean compassion to help sentient beings cultivated countless achievements merit. Ananda think so arms bowls, going from house to house along the street, posture and strictly lawful alms.

According to the precepts monks after ordination per year fetters lower is a lower age. Was 9 years old down the called Lower coordinates. From 10 to 19 years down the called Middle coordinates. From 20 to 29 years down called Ven. And the last 30 years or more down then called elders. But the Vietnamese Buddhist no Ha coordinates and centrally located that addressed also different. The lowest increase is called faith, is that Ven (40-60 years of age) and most venerable (over age 60).

Ananda at the begging, but the mind starts wandering thoughts is begging to be true to the spirit of equality. Venerable Mahakasyapa just begging alms to the poor without the rich because his opinion that although they are born rich and poor live in the world worthy of mercy, but the poor, pitiful. According to him, the poor need more comfort for the life they were asking too much bitterness. How many people head off the dark side but not enough no rice, not enough warm clothes. So how are they giving conditions to change your life? People whose lives are rich and wealth is by the grace of which they have extensive care giving from their past lives so today reported live life happy in silk velvet. For mercy and compassion made him Mahakasyapa only to the poor to create good conditions for their generosity to the following day a happier life. But more importantly, help them plant the Dharma and fostering merit to have a happy life now and finally towards enlightenment.

In contrast to respect the author Mahakasyapa, Venerable Tu Bodhi just walking through the rich but never to the poor. The venerable notion that the poor, they reared for yourself or your family is difficult, hard, get us things do balance offerings to the monks. Although they want to balance the heart center offerings that effort is not enough. Meanwhile, for the rich, a meal offered to monks, there is nothing significant. In addition, the richer, the more busy with the business of trafficking should not have time to listen to the business school, the cultivation of virtue. He came to know that merit the world, darting through the air, up and sometimes fall to the ground. So today the rich wealth that not sow good conditions, extensive care giving, which when dry blessed Lord is certainly life after life born into poverty poverty. So the false religion of mercy for the rich and give them the opportunity to compassion, generosity and fostering merit for the following day and finally sown with Dharma which can be liberated liberated.

Thus although two false religion are two different concepts, but boiled down to still targeting a purpose to help sentient beings merit growth and finally have the opportunity to foster the faith to move towards the ultimate cure is freed enlightenment.

But Ananda is an attendant of the Buddha's most famous and is filed multicultural, but he has not proven to be holy should illusion always filled with smoke. For holy, when walking through their minds are pure, no color, sound, smell, taste, touch, law do arise wandering thoughts. Conversely, a person who does not have a pure mind is certainly vulnerable to external charming ceiling.
uncertainties occur unexpectedly, at Ananda are horizontal begging for her Ma-Sign-Aging, a prostitute, her evil uncle Brahma directed Saticala took him into a private room, the adjacency role-cheek title, tender loving care, he nearly lost world.

Ananda brothers uncles Buddha. He is the son of Bach the United (Amitodama) is the brother of the King. When the Buddha returned to supply Ca-billion-la-visits his family after he became Buddha, Prince Ananda recently twenties. Ananda saw the Buddha virtues too solemn and full body aura shine so fond of that part. So clearly he Ananda with righteous mind not because only the end of a true renouncer is enlightenment, freedom and forgiveness and not manufactured to have beautiful bodies and bright halo. Before production, the handsome Prince Ananda should have done super pleased how Princess in the royal family. How many princess dream opportunity to enhance tissue repair his shirt. Once ordained as Buddhist, although now an ordained monks, Ananda still look young and so handsome in the monastic community there are a lot of nuns fell secretly in love with theft in mind. Even the bodhisattva Manjushri Tri also praised Ananda by the verse as follows:

Minister as the moon complete collection

Blue lotus eyes specifically

Measures as wide as the tank

Are poured into the heart of Ananda

One day Ananda was begging in Sravasti was the summer too hot, muggy he felt very thirsty. When he passed through a water well, where a girl is using a rope to pull water from the bottom of the well. Saw her he said:

- Dear benefactors! Please compassionate benefactor please give me water shells.

She turned to look at Ananda that stunned hearts with joy as she realized Bhikkhu Ananda is the most handsome prince at the time. She was shy, shy, bowed told Ananda that:
- Dear Venerable Sir! I regret not a scoop water with him, but of low flow proceeds Da La should not have the shell offerings to Him.
Bhikkhu Ananda girl look with mercy and said:

- This benefactors! I'm not a prince but a religious person so I have no idea distinguish high and low on man. So please benefactor kindly offered me a cup of water.
compassion words of Ananda makes reinforce girls to forget their lowly status are encouraged to bring a bowl of water to make offerings to the Ananda. A Nan drank, and the blessing and quietly walked away.

She watched Dang Anh Tuan and handsome Ananda girls rush up a wave soaring conditions.

Ananda not only have delicate appearance that elegant gentle words, how the other girls loved him. Girl suffering from similar disease, gradually stop eating insomnia, pale emaciated shape, day and night just remember the silhouette of Ananda.

Mother of the young women questioned knew a girl I secretly loved theft remember Ananda should she turn sharp appalled. Because in Indian society at that time a member of the line surveys to Loi (king) as Ananda never accept to marry a bride in of low flow proceeds Da La. But my heart a mother's boundless love you can not stand looking at his son dying from the disease similar. She braved every danger and bring all his assets purchased for evil uncle's Brahma directed Saticala to communicate to their children that complete the wish. Times of India when the Buddha was in the world, with up to 96 different religion sects of which there are many director specializing in sorcery. Today in Thailand, India, Cambodia, there are many teachers that sells the spell, He loves, call loved ones back charm ... Many the divine also practice (the skull of a baby dying in the womb parents) to consider because this law teacher can control the shadowy clients consider and tell them so they say something also won.

Once get evil uncle in hand, the mother went to hand over the child and said:

- Hey you! When to see the Venerable Ananda went begging through his house, then I used this mantra to get mind and Ananda photography, then led into the room to satisfy dreams.

Because of this pretext when Ananda alms to the front adjacent to her Ma-Post-Marital used his art to get a room, the adjacency role-cheek title, tender loving care, he nearly lost world.

Ananda then not them into arahantahood should not completely destroy all notions of sexual desire is why his evil uncle lured into the path of sin. Only the Arahat new center complete escapism from all concepts of lust, even very subtle notion no longer.

He Ananda nearly lost world that once ignorance sudden craving came to make people lose control as well because he does not mind. Until the Bodhisattva Manjushri provides the mantra of ignorance disappeared, craving dissipate. Therefore awakened sense ignorance is love that is closest birth, love kill means that intellectual light to the dark night of ignorance will vanish.

Buddha said he Ananda suffering victims MA-Post-emergency should when finished meal, he immediately returned to the monastery States Complete. This extraordinary event makes the King, the bourgeois and very east lay along in the Buddha Buddhist Vihara hopes will be taught for any major new budget.

Then, the worship of the Blessed pressing release halo weapons fearless. In that aura is golden lotus thousand wings, on the portrayal of Buddha sitting cross-legged, claim the mantra Surangama had strictly:

"Project A Na probably Pi Xa to, baby soap bowl Da Ri. You Da Da Ne. Turn away, Ni, Red Tiger clarity reaction, the judge Ms. Ha ".

His Buddha Manjushri brought mantra to save Ananda, makes evil mantra another killing, which leads Ananda and Ma-Post-author of Buddha.

For Buddhists, the significance of this very deep. Mr Ananda was first written, wide learning more memory, measures were poured into his ears, why not break out the victims of sex female Ma-Post-Older but must wait until the Shurangama mantra, new fire workers tan , the river of love new that helped him escape? This demonstrates that, although a person holding all the wonderful secret of the Tathagata is not in a very long time now. Indeed, the knowledge that people can listen to learn from books from the program compared to the great wisdom of the age different capital stock so far. The intellectuals of the ordinary man and the vascular complications of wisdom can place for like fireflies that compared with the full moon. So in the world of school property (even completed, Freezer Ham and A Na Ham is the holy round but still suffer from samsara) there are many, but uneducated (A Arhat, the escape from samsara), very hard to find, very precious. So although an evil practice can cause hardship and disaster most of the time, but will also perish. Chief always wins the evil as well as light to, dark darkness will disappear.

She-are-tree is a symbol of desire, heavy passionate attachment. Conversely University Tri Manjushri light symbolizes wisdom, therefore, the Bodhisattva Manjushri mantra brought to mean only the light of reason can shine on that neutralize the dark desires of passion. Thus craving is the root of samsara and the intention is to become a Buddha. So vacuum expectation but two roads that had no two ie Real binary.

People have fallen into samsara, bound in prison three worlds also by at heart sex. Care workers to get people into the pit of the abyss, there is no escape. The care workers whether meditation would fall into the drug. So Buddha said that: "If you do not mind sex that meditation practice is like cooking sand like rice, never achieve." A man has sex that is expected mind crazy always arises, no security, no. Why? Because when the practitioner begins meditation, the mind slowly enters the realm of the sexual images slowly appear from subtle to crude that disappeared. Thus in pure four items (sex, supervising direct and expectations), the Buddha taught about sex first. In short, we care workers, it is difficult to meditate, meditation even if they still fall into the wrong direction, as relatives of drug and never arisen wisdom to open the eyes of the heart enlightened that leg management.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.MHDT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUNS=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.25/12/2012.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
