Purification of this place

"Chung tea on hand

Amida a concept

Pure this place "

Eternally unsolvable question for philosophers and religious education is "Where I was born and will die going?". those who want to know the correct answers to the above questions, then he must stand outside samsara. Buddhism came to life and exists to this day is to point the way to help people escape from birth and death.

How could escape the sea of ​​life and death? Must cessation afflictions. Thus there is reasonable too hard? It was very difficult, all the teachings of the Buddha are said to last paragraph away all negativity is reincarnation. This assertion is not without exception, the Pure Land is the only way that can help people of all afflictions that stage yet can still escape samsara six lines.

Pure Land Meditators need only solidified that belief holds the sentence pink name Amitabha Buddha within, and given birth to the world of Amitabha Buddha. Maintain daily recite Amitabha continuous, uninterrupted Your mind is pure, pure concept exists in the hearts permanent defilement no chance arises. Long isolation and affliction not promoting effects of it anymore, said an understandably disturbing is "sleeping", so called for negativity.

The scene for the afflictions upon no passion, no anger against sight. It is the most visible manifestation. If it hits the eight winds (interest, failure, destruction, plans, profession, muscle pain, touch) but also initiate greed, hatred and delusion is not called for negativity.

There is no such practice Pure Land, only at the level of negativity that can serve escape samsara. Let go of everything down to a question of Amitabha is the sense terminals.

"Letting go want to Coast

Amida a concept

Trang had am meditating ".

"Letting go want charm, a pleasing notion Buddha ' t '

"Letting go want charm, a pleasing Buddhist concept." Understand how new this sentence correct? Our lives must be associated with social activities, can not go back to work, stop all work if they give in order to survive? So how coastal want to let go, but how numerous the Buddhist concept?

Unscathed here, does not mean stopping all work and not do anything. Every day we have to do to earn money to support himself and his family, the place unscathed is very interested. Buddhas and Patriarchs master martial Land practitioners recommend the heart, not sure where people work stoppage.

In fact, active body part, the mind will follow the six traveling coast and ceiling, hardly anyone without such activity, therefore we must scrupulously to learn a new way of life and preserve jobs contemplation of the work.

If contemplation maintain unbroken continuity of daily living is no longer just to sell. If not so, the practitioner should apply to the work they are doing, what is working the body, the mind based on that, do not let the mind follow the other, not thinking about the past, do not attempt to story in the future. It's called mindfulness. After the job ends, the threads start sentences Amitabha Buddha.

With the intensive practice of Pure Land practice, they can just keep working medium pink name Amitabha questions through without any hindrance, not a delusion that could interfere with conception was gay. The new initial practice, the center will use more arduous, easy wandering thoughts arise and break the flow of contemplation but just be patient then over time will be mastered, the mind will gradually be transformed .

The practitioner should keep in contemplation daily work, not to finish everything meticulously beginners. And one more thing to keep in mind is learning how to let go of things from my heart problems should not be too much to bare landscape, clinging to the ceiling as the harder scene to preserve and maintain a mental concept Amitabha.

Contemplation and expectation that a concept but two, the ceiling is traveling under grace is mesmerizing expectations, your mind dwell Amitabha Buddha's statement is pure feeling. Let no heart, but to start the red list, to question Amitabha Buddha actually poured straight into the center of the net itself. Please be patient and diligent!

Pure Land birth

This phrase reserved for the Pure Land, and all the other disciplines, there is no case. Speaking understandable, "Pure Land of Birth" is also karma but could ly export samsara, born into the world of Bliss.

This is very rare and has not happened for practitioners from other disciplines. But reciting the Buddha's essential to understand the meaning of the four words of this, if not journey to our Bliss might stall, may not even be born.

"Enterprise" - said enough is karma.

Karma is the artifact from the body - the mouth - mind, things that hinder our enlightened nature. Obstacles are the afflictions of obstacles to obstruct the road to Nirvana, Bodhi.

Want to escape samsara, they must "end now, not love." That's how common practice of all disciplines. As found in a section all karma life is too difficult issues to Pure point the way for us now and take the cup of life and death.

Of course style is impossible to understand the causes everyday wear to create negative karma, despite charges of blessing, knowing only the pursuit of personal interests, even harmful kill people ... and then the problem starts dying at 10 anniversary Amitabha to bring out all that's going on now West Bliss scene, enjoy a peaceful life. Land practitioners should be aware subjects:

The former, who created more or less negative karma in this life, especially when coming from the physical plane will be hard to maintain the 10 anniversary of Amitabha in the making. If such a standard is not reborn.

The second, carrying now (for now) that is carried generate karma has caused countless lifetimes in the past, do not accept the case one does not know to stop evil in this life and no accept cases of people aware of the evil that still practice.

The third thing, karma yogi must be brought fully tame, ie practitioner has served karma, control them and we did not get a chance to take effect.

It is the necessary condition for a professional Land practitioners, who wants to die one should pay particular attention to the recently presented above. Pure path mortal can escape in a lifetime but that does not mean anyone recite Amitabha were also born there.

18th Vow of Amida Buddha, achieved the minimum requirements for a Pure is just 10 anniversary of his name in the incarnation He continued to lead the world of Bliss (though it is still now distention). Escape the death that just 10 anniversary Amitabha in the main it is clear that the "preferential treatment" for Buddhist practitioners and, if not cursed by the Teacher of the star Amitabha Buddhist ethics can enjoy this.

Want to gain the most attention in the 10 anniversary of the Buddha Amitabha everyday practitioners to accumulate merit, Amitabha concept reaches maturity, not delusions. Besides, one should cultivate good fortune, to benefit everyone, put away the ego attachment, metabolism evil where his heart.

Moon shine my heart

"A Di Da anniversary

With tan ceiling structure

Moon shine my heart. "

"An idea can Amitabha Buddha eradicated in 80 felony inhibition mortal life."

This statement has damaged his life? If this statement is true, why you daily and we are keeping the Amitabha concept but does not seem to reduce guilt, karma is eliminated, alleviate afflictions are the only visible thing that any Security, as the existing estate in the heart. Please use wisdom to not consider the words of the ancient skeptics say.

Karma that we create in countless past lives is immeasurable, if the person had now form the damaged state does not have room to accommodate them. Karma's a lot like icebergs, sophisticated as a small flame can not be an overnight break to be. This is not meant to deny the name of Amitabha pink that matter want to say here is that it takes time to visit long.

As long as man is not he who does not carry on the body now. But now existing artifacts are easy to get rid, artifacts now in the past is very difficult to break, so it must be due to the new ruling of Amitabha Buddha. Red name Amitabha indeed very big things right, but the meticulous daily volume is only the first step of jail if compared with the number of past lives causing immeasurable create negative karma is unremarkable. So there needs to equip themselves enduring spirit, courageous and diligent if you want multi-phase stronghold of karma.

For questions pink name really unleash its magic, the practitioner should want to abandon coast, a Buddhist concept heart. Can not just passionate about reputation, just avaricious desire worldly escape the ceiling. When hearts cling to fame, and talented, even if they remained pink name Amitabha also ineffective peace of mind alone is the karma.

As dark now, it obscured the nature of each person. But it is not essential, it is not, is illusory. Wisdom as light, could break room karma as a thousand years in darkness, light has lit up the darkness that immediately vanish.

Believe in yourself, everyone has the capacity to transform karma, plus the ruling of Amitabha, will go to certain achievements.

Self and ruling

There are two children living by hook wrap. One day, on the way home, we saw the landfill have two jars, each containing one tablet the ovum is mixed with mud. Each child took a instant win.

The first child to use his power to bring the pot to the riverside mud treatment, ovum pick it out of park. Second child know it's not enough to ask a lady doctor helps passenger car side of the road to the river. Finally it also retrieve the members of their ovum. Both later became rich, and out of poverty, hunger and thirst.

Self-ruling power and the Land practitioners also such subjects. In the present life, if rid itself of all or industry, recognize "self-Di Da", "Pure idealism" , immediately walk away enlightened Supreme (first as a child himself clarified slurry land for park ovum). But the case itself is not enough to get rid of a career or life, they must rely on the ruling said the new Amitabha they escape samsara and achieve fruition Bodhi (as second child to with the help of the parents of the car, who then found ovum).

Tan, the leave is not the rebirth. Whatever karma in the slightest remnant could not leave well alone mortal intact. Use wisdom to consider, we easily see, in a period life can not all afflictions of greed, hatred and delusion ... This means that no mortal can out of this present life.

Dependence on the ruling of Amitabha Buddha to the world born into the Pure Land is a shortcut, shortest renunciation of samsara suffering in a lifetime. This does not mean that no effort themselves practice, known only to rely on the Buddha's ruling.

Really, Amitabha no longer interested disturbed us was the absence of disturbance, maintenance recite his name more or less, led him to all those who have faith and aspiration born into the world of Bliss by its clarity equal, undifferentiated.

Conditions need to get from the power of the Buddha is to achieve clarity and stillness of our spirit. But to what extent? The practitioner must serve the negativity, negativity that is tame, making it "sleeps", no longer capable of further harassment. Apparently, on the way to practice self-ruling and parallel to, the need to have self-ruling and vice versa. Also indispensable three basics of Pure Land practice is sustainable faith, aspirations and maintenance reborn recite the name. If you do not meet this standard, the renunciation of samsara path in this life has ended.

Amitabha Buddha. Be cautious and diligent!

"Irrespective of grass, flowers

release particles scattered rain season

Amitabha magical ".

Building sustainable faith

"A Di Da anniversary

Sustainable Faith

Flowering heart ".

Faith is the key of Buddhist practitioners in general and in particular the Land practitioners. With the Pure Land practitioner, without faith, it will not leave the achievements of life and death, reborn into that in this life.

First of all, believe in yourself. Each of us has full power and virtues like wisdom Buddhas, just "woken up" mystical energies, the fullness of faith. Amitabha have limitless life, we also have optical infinite optical expectancy but we do not promote the right thing and gone forever in the death row is because we do not get rid of all ignorance, negativity. From now on, just turn passion into sight, turn afflictions into Bodhi immediately entered Nirvana, stepped into the Pure Land.

Second, information on the causes of birth Amitabha and Shakyamuni. Pure is a mystery door means that the Buddha Amitabha in order to open up all the Buddhist practitioners who wish to realms of his birth. By prayer power, mental strength and compassion, Buddha Amitabha constructive achievements Bliss world, it turns into a sustainable and adequate facilities for those who want to carry on Buddhist. If not because of Shakya Germany contentment introduction into that we do not know how realms of Amitabha Buddha.

Third, causal information. Believing that every one thought Amitabha are clean nuclear to form Buddhahood. Whether the practice with a calm mind and heart are also scattered showers to the success in the world of Ultimate Bliss.

Fourth, believe the existence of Amida and the existence of Ultimate Bliss. The economic Amitabha presented very clearly, that land is located by Sa-she's the world we want to inhibit Buddha 10 degrees to the west and the cardinal is making Amitabha Buddha. He has a sense of how far the 10 and currently lives in the world say their approach.

Fifth, all phenomena of the mind believes. Hearted beings are contained treasure of all phenomena, all phenomena in the universe are born from the heart, no law exists outside the mind. Buddha in order of beings, sentient beings contain Buddha nature. So, while the world is due to Meditate Bliss of Amitabha is completed but only sentiments, is pure hearted people, Amitabha is also possible lucidity us.

Towards Pure, maintenance recite the name of Amitabha is about self-direction, self-thoughts. Also born on that land returned immediately address their mind and not anywhere else:

"Every idea that computer, often operating in approximately equal only to see instant manicure tray Amitabha ... Satori is legal infertility news to the Western Paradise." (Sixth Patriarch Platform Sutra)

 Faith must be built on a platform just above this year. This is the first important factor deciding the current student achievement. On the theoretical side, divided into sections, but in reality there is only one faith only.

Arises vows

Arises vows is the next step after building a sustainable faith. With vast vows, Amitabha had constructive Bliss world to welcome people of his country, but if one does not take himself that the requirements for certain students can not be reborn, though confidence ultimate sustainability. This responsibility does not belong to the Buddha Amitabha that practitioners do not take themselves pure grace connected with Buddhism.

For example, the mother of two children lost on another pilgrimage. The mother missed because the poet should strive to seek and follow daily information about children. And the children, they have no intention of looking back and return to the mother. Then they get a chance to see equal? Certainly not. 

By the grace of practitioners and Amitabha Buddha will be the same if one does not take himself vowing Pure. The compassion of the Buddha is ungainly pronouns - unselfish love like a mother's love for her child but faith will lose compassion for those who do not work under the conditions.

Besides, vows to be built on sincerity of heart and not read beyond mere mouth: "Pure pristine western middle." Sincerity is the key point of the vows, vows contain then put the foot into whether or not emitted read aloud words still promote the right thing. And vows absence sincere wish of thousands of times, read the verse did not touch the clarity of the Buddha.

Sincerity is the most factors leading to negative mental disorder. Want to be sincere vows one would have incurred two boring mentality and desires. The object of the boring world of Sheba, and the object of keen Bliss world. I can honestly was no longer interested in things of wealth, beauty, fame, eating, sleeping in this world can be reborn. Longer interested and obstacles are part of the ceiling of Pure karma will partially blocked.

To get rid of earthly passion, one must be aware that everything in this world, from emotional to physical are illusory, unreal, they exist before the eyes but also will vanish instantly happiness is only temporary, unreal world, not eternal. In contrast, Bliss world without suffering of sick old student dead, loves being split apart, Common face hatred, discord warm year ... and the pain from the surrounding circumstances brought.

Thus, when the conditions are want to abandon the vow sincere. Faith and vows are certain achievements be born.

All this presented on not really easy to follow, it was unlikely to have made achievements in overnight. So have patience and effort, for the sake of rupture life and death, Nirvana dwell in this world that want to abandon coastal perseverance, courage to move forward.

Further, the practice of reciting the Buddha's teachings bring to fruition any rotten boarded Supreme Bodhi so there needs to release the Bodhi mind, cause all sentient beings from samsara. Meditators have found the new Bodhi heart fulfilled his vow and truly step right path that Germany was suffering Shakyamuni taught only by means of the Pure Land.

"A Di Da anniversary

Heartfelt vows

My heart is pure. "

The practice of

The practice

The method is practiced Buddhist concept outside the form, here is how to preserve their practice's list, representing exoteric and away to. To be specific, pink mouth proclaims the name of Amitabha, consciously stop all activities, only devoted to the question of Amitabha and should not contemplate anything else.

The crux of the practice is sincere devotion and attention, two things missing are the current achievements not born into that. Firstly sustainable building trust and sincere vows; followed by elaborately handcrafted down, let go of memories, feelings, ideas and magazines complex language, for induction of identity, a straight line.

Ly practice

The reason is the method practiced Buddhist concept involving reflection (wisdom), this is to preserve their way of practicing mindfulness, representing Tantric and Brackets. Practices, specifically Buddhist concept visualization.

Who practice in this way to communicate the rationale of the Pure Land, or understand the three core business is the business of the Pure Land of Amitabha, Boundless Life and Amitayurdhyana . In addition, to understand the meaning of food Samantabhadra vows in economic Flower Adornment and the Great Strength Bodhisattva Buddhist concept telecommunications in economic Surangama two chapters because this is related to the Pure Land method.

When you understand the reasoning then start practitioners, who practice in this way, see the Buddhist concept is a magical means to purify the soul, Buddha nature yellowish pray not born into the Pure Land of Amida . Use pink name Amitabha and visualize the report, medical report of Bliss to transform sorrow, anger and ignorance eradicated, filtered heart becomes pure, returning with wisdom, with knowledge of the Buddha himself .

The aim of the yogi practice chanting prayers reborn Bliss Western world. This is not the way religious people communicate Pure Reason, also said that the Western Pure Land of Amida Buddha exists outside of his pure heart, problems remain in the dualistic treatment, subjects saw anniversary Buddha and customer lists can be justified, there are people who get to the next level and be reborn. The Buddhist concept in favor of belief, worship, rely primarily on the ruling.

And the purpose of practicing yogi chanting reflect expectations of completing their feet, become self-calculation of Amitabha, Pure idealism. Understanding of Pure Land Amitabha not exist outside the mind itself, which, through the center and legal capacity, and the phenomena, magic feet and not useful. Buddhist mindfulness is the concept of the mind and vice versa. Ly Buddhist concept of opening insight inclined, mainly internal resources to promote personal, not relying on the ruling. Can call this method Meditation - Song convent.

Above are two ways of Pure Land practice, whether practicing yogi way, and attain liberation. Let go want charm, a pleasing Buddhist concept.

"The two lines of

Amida a concept

There, the old country. "

The reason dung

"The reason dung

Amida a concept

Road immense ".

The Buddhist concept of maintenance practice despite the name or the name of reason are reaping benefits for themselves, even though the purpose of the two methods is not the same place.

Standing on the media, it is clear there are two ways to practice on angles but only one cure only. He should inform the content and reason, should not choose this way of eliminating the other. On the basis of the way forward for the Protection, should get rid of the expectation, hope is a new step forward in the world most French feet.

The reason is the lodestar, the maps indicate the journey to go through; the legs, as a means to move forward. Accept the rapture, accept all of the defects removed. The observance of the birth circumstances (karma afflictions), blocking paths of Nirvana and not about self-yellowish; students who accept the idea of ​​(head over it) makes it difficult for Bodhi and the way to and from the force did not receive blessings of Amitabha Buddha.

In fact, meditators practice the Buddhist concept (ie no information about the physical reach, just a heart to give birth anniversary of Buddha to the West, in addition to knows nothing about self-idealistic Amida and the Pure Land) in the period early can they profess to care about the name not contemplate Amitabha and the Pure World, but by Amitabha sentence is repeated continuously without interruption, over a certain period He will promote the right thing, memories of Amitabha formed more deeply than in the mind of the maintenance list. Meditators from reciting the name of the state or unconsciously aware of Amitabha faint switched intimately aware of Amitabha, go into the mind set, wisdom arises immediately communicated reason.

And practice of Buddha, but advocates for the concept and visualize the Buddha Amida but enlightened self-early stage practitioners to practice from the minister, then gained most of the mind, that is France itself.

No shifting, the practice of easily fall into heresy, as people go without maps, easily misled. Skip the ease of communication, the practice is not in compliance, as those who understand the directions, clearly familiar way without even taking steps.

Purification of mind is very complex process and difficult, not in the short time achievement, so we must know the close coordination and management. Besides, can not equip themselves lack confidence sustainable, resilient aspiration, long patience, there is new hope to go to such ends.
