Acknowledgement liberating life can be resentment, the wicked are destroyed, no grief or sorrow (10 free birth Merit)
I was born and raised in Nha Trang, where the famous beach is long and beautiful. My house is not far from the sea should include childhood
Sometimes expressing words:
My name is Pham Quang Binh Huu Minh legal name. The story you will read below is a true story that happened to me and my family, stretching from childhood until now I've grown to over three decades. Just because u do not believe the law of causality intelligence from childhood so I have started killing the latter should have received retribution. During the time at idle sentiments among the brethren in which the layman as Members and executives Yin Le Hieu, Thai, Thien Nhan, I was told stories about causality itself to learn together on the way to practice. After hearing he did not expect the Council advised me huge popularity of this story as a lesson in cause and effect mirror, or retribution out of money. Frankly, I'm somewhat reluctant to hear you say that, because my writing is clumsy and the story is told not elaborate language, e makes the reader laugh. But think again if my story can help people prevent evil to do good, I would not hesitate to do clumsily literal reader to laugh, others with hope threshold took it as a mirror that fear of later retribution, and I also had the opportunity to confess the sin deep thick mass that I have caused to animals and nature. Dear advise people to stop killing, collective fasting, releasing material research, and dedication nianfo He healed merit to all species. If you do not like what we are now able to move his face up close short longevity healthy little infirmities, that the world would never happen Killing mutual war and peace will exist forever in this world. Amitabha Buddha. |
Having one more time about my year in the Philippines , near the edge of the sea or under the clouds so I peer into the sea began to improve seafood meal. Killing time at most hunting eels. Species have not grown eels should not live in the deep waters just dig holes or live in shallow waters and natural foods have become prey to hordes "killer" we me at the time. Noon when the tide is low so the bucket crowd go pitch. We each child 1 bucket bags, 1 carrying skewers, head mounted on sharpened steel plant has been used for main beam. Because shallow water only knee-high to very easily see the holes in the sand where the eel. So we just pierced holes are oblique to almost hit the prey. The afternoon was a bucket full of eels, eel eating porridge take several days to finish. Then I simply thought it was a good meal, I have no doubt later retribution.
Leaving the Philippines to the U.S. I settled in Washington state when I was about 14-15 years old who are not relatives and family . Since childhood adolescent age should I be staying home with family sponsorship. His house has sponsored a large ship include 3 bedrooms. His summer or towing a large lake for fishing and everyone followed him fishing. So watch the fish from the side, to the U.S. I continued to watch the fish. One day fishing catfish, these fish have a new hobby is swimming at night in search of food, they go where the day takes. That night I awaiting sentence suddenly sleepy and fell asleep on the train in the morning. The next morning when I woke up and looked around deck that is listed fish large plastic barrels, inside contains a lot of catfish. Listen everyone recalls the night before winning big night because eating a lot of fish. Who were the bait fish should be repeatedly shocked. Hearing that I just chuck sniffed regretfully refused because trying to form sentences. Now think back to see his new extremely lucky to be asleep by now but if not close to my husband so much more substance.
At school, your spare time they asked me to go buy an air gun to shoot birds. So I went to buy the most powerful gun in her to shoot birds in the forest. So powerful gun perches high up and far away I was hit a few. A few months later his friend came to lack of money selling guns made me resentful because unfortunately every good gun. I later found it was a lucky thing, if I did not continue killing not know when a new stop.
When all secondary school, wants to go to college to learn but I have no money, so when he heard go fishing in Alaska make a lot of money, want to make money fast desire to be in college inspired me to hit the road. I was put on a boat to salt water and packaging. I made a very big boat, they walk around on the sea specialist Bearing Sea (between the USSR and the U.S. state of Alaska) to purchase the smaller crabs from the boat specialist crab on the beach. Crabs live in salt water and cold very large, very tasty meat should sell a lot of money. Each crab estimated average of 1.5 kg or more. All my children's sizes small enough not to be thrown back into the sea, and only the male crab, the crab is not to still birth. If made illegal will be fined heavily. The Japanese eat very fond of this kind of crab they send people from the Japanese side to look and to buy as soon as the staff working on the ship as I had crab meat and tidy on the barrel. All work from buy crab, crab kills, sorted into bins until sales are happening right on the beach. After 1 year I worked more than 20 thousand birds return, buy 1 car and go back to school. That year I turned 20 years old. Then how can I know what is dharma, Buddha Amitabha who, temples also do not know where to look to themselves so indifferent that karma. Now that I think about it deeply ashamed and full of sin. It was killing most of my life and what I regret most in life. If estimates probably had thousands of crabs unfortunately I do meat for export to Japan.
1 year after working in Alaska, I go back to the old state of Washington. School during the day, evening, I go to work part-time at a seafood restaurant to cover the cost of school food and rent. Where I work is a luxury restaurant located partially in the sea. Most diners are elite. Ocean-going vessels can drop anchor and then look back to the restaurant to eat inside. Look at the parking lot of the restaurant is that people can figure out the person sitting in any class restaurants. Which car is beautiful and expensive from the manufacturer of the famous cars like Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Porche ... inside the restaurant staff who are carefully selected, highly educated and communication skills rather, extremely polite. Most of them are teachers working overtime to increase income for gratuity (tip) pretty much every night.
sewing I work in logistics, which cooks should have more opportunities to continue ... killing. The menu mostly seafood including lobster and Alaskan king crab (king crab). Who wants to eat beef also because the restaurant was imported from other places. Type of fine cut, each piece weigh very beautiful and attractive. People are cooking up one of the benefits is the free food. Like anything, you are pulled out my "cup". Yes if you want to eat something not on the menu, the whole bunch of us cooks homemade casserole pan and then pulled out manually edit the dictionary. One of the dishes diners here requires that fresh oysters. This dish is called only when new customers take pride to do and not do before. Each disc includes 7 large moat, I have dedicated a knife to pry away half oyster shell, and half were involved in the moat. Then use a knife to cut thin sections connecting the trench meat and oyster shell to prevent sticking. The last phase is squeezed lime proud flesh and visitors so that slurp raw oysters. Every time I see the lemon juice into the moat cringed as sore after being cut off. Now think back and imagine myself as the proud uncle the other pathetic that I felt even take heart. Pity I did not know themselves to be reincarnated as an animal to be captured, killed not know how new life to pay off the debt of life? In my life, all living creatures in heaven, the water, or on land will have to kill me. Suppose as before fate brought me to the home minister arithmetic, I definitely knew I was going to be of short duration, the network can not longevity. May blessed by bit left over from a past life so now I know the Dhamma, known to cultivate the Pure Land Teachings. Also thanks know that I know the Dharma injured animals, do not eat meat and keep the world watching. Perhaps so should my new life lasted until now, otherwise I have to go long. From small to large killing me too much, since mosquitoes, ants, dragonflies, lizards, birds, crabs, fish ... I have not given up everything now in the disease. I went into the hospital for surgery every 2 times for hernia disease. Hernia is a temporary condition called muscle tear. The parts of the body thin body like abdomen, navel, groin at risk for this disease more than other places. When torn muscle, intestine in the body is pushed out, touching the skin very sore. Today, thanks to medical advances industry should be able to treat the disease easily. When in the hospital, where doctors will be hernia surgery, and then give a special patch sewn underneath skin and coat torn like to use a different cloth to dress up and fight not more so torn.

1 This disease is very strange, since I was 15 years old until over 40, the doctor forever to figure out. Each time the toilet bowel is fresh red blood fluid flush themselves out a lot, at least once per week. In their teens, so when I was so incredibly confused. See your doctor for medication or topical medications do not end well. So from day to day, year to year is old lasted disease. I visited every doctor I go to the doctor West, taking drugs to North West without seeing "xi" Light at all. There is a doctor tells broken blood vessels, doctors told by tearing the skin membrane, the newspaper said that it was the first symptom of colon cancer ... At first I worried so much, but after so many years I am also familiar and collective "living with floods". Until recently I realized that the symptoms do not treat him suddenly miraculously healed. I think perhaps in part because the precepts merit watching, fasting, penance, Buddha, the merit for all beings. The other part may be related to the story of my mother that I was sick of my chronic disease naturally cleared. early 2009 is believed to house the sick mother could not survive I quickly returned to visit asked illness. Mothers goiter I have cancer, doctors discovered since 1997 and had surgery a couple of times out. Unfortunately, this tumor is a tumor of surgery that sprouted up. Take the medication every day just to make the pain less and slow growth of the tumor, not ever.
U.S. Since coming home, I see that almost bit my mother looked out it was not his biological mother. Specific days ago she had much meat, but the last time my mother looked back then as just skin and bones like the long day starvation. Before flying to Vietnam one day, I found the address of the deceased Board (BHN) and local contact in advance to ask them to sample households relative notion. Fortunately I found BHN in Nha Trang Thanh Lien and her head enthusiastically accepted the invitation to also deceased.
From day to learn Buddhist philosophy and practice of the Pure I often calling and mailing of the form itself, Buddhist concept reminds tool for rebirth, but unfortunately that virtue, merit of specific instruments should also at the Buddhist concept is probably not included. I remember my childhood days often warmed to see my mother and cutting a chicken, slaughtered at home sometimes. Having more time cutting the chicken is done, remove the lid on the pot. Yet an hour later, when you pour boiling water to loosen the lid suddenly blew up, and then up the chicken, first roll runs out excessively as people began to chase and kill again. Maybe because now carry such tools should now have cancer goiter. Very specific to the tumor, the size of a grapefruit look very frightening. Blood oozed from where the local tumor caking. The last months of life instrument every drop of blood oozed from every tumor causes of the fabric to sew a bag specifically for wets, wearing my mother's neck. A few hours is to change how the fabric once. Scenes that made me think of the old chickens were bled my mother, every drop of blood that fell below the bowl inspired to make more soup.
younger brother I have had family and three sons. My house has a traditional Buddhist worship since my father was alive. He built an altar tools Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva very large and stately juggernaut in the city at that time. My father went away the multitude collected very beautiful carvings and elaborate from the deft hands of craftsmen to solemn place of worship. Sometimes I see the man chanting in the big full moon day. And my body form is also a devout Buddhist temples and enjoyed doing work.
altar in my house very large and sedate to the point later when my brother-in to visit the house, talking brother fun with each other, to hear him tell it, he was in "end" but when you come home I do not dare to, because he is a Catholic. He said back then just walked into that door is just too large Buddhist altar as his "terror" should not dare step. Under the place of worship has a wooden cabinet containing many Buddhist texts. At the time of the children's books I should not have nothing to read, so I just pulled some pamphlets about cause and effect, to see life is suffering. No doubt the old days he had read to sow the seeds in my mind whether I'm good to go until the sun does.
Yet my family early Wednesday worship like incense, but my brother did not believe Tam Privacy. Only one thing is every year on New Year My brother is also difficult to bring all Bronze censer on the altar for a new polish to welcome Spring. Also everyone talking dharma practice or make it absolutely refused. Every time I telephoned my mother to recommend to later Buddhist concept of Buddha, my brother does not seem satisfied. My brother told phoned to say something important or useful, then say, let alone do three things dharma talk. C On my sister-in-law which was born in a Catholic family, grew up in the congregation and raised under the teachings of the profile. Yet later on do not understand why my bride moved her attention turned to the refuge in the Buddha. Funny that when my family throne like the change. On my mother before I was healthy, just take him to the temple through the list and put legal refuge for the absence of my brother. It was not until later my brother rummaged in the closet, found refuge paper plate stating its name on it, so my brother does not seem satisfied and demanded everyone did it.
During the I go home once before, the gossip between the two brothers seem to help me find my brother's mind two things that are just like mopeds and money. Knowing this information should or illness when my mother was a critical time to breathe oxygen, I would like to stay for 3 weeks work and bringing $ 2800 dollars for the toll. You know you should calculate from the U.S. arrived home after visiting his mother finished condition for inviting me know if BHN to the Buddhist concept for the sample relative to how it was intimidating, I have similar plans by design achievements give out $ 400 USD "bribe" for his brother to buy a TV screen slim hanging on the wall and an additional $ 400 USD again gave her sister-in-law to buy more goods trade, because it was her sister-in-law opened shop selling clothing and baby supplies. Then she heads to the BHN, they declare themselves form perception. My brother does not seem to be happy that day is cultivation of the sister car driven in BHN to form the support for the concept itself, but thanks to the "first procedure" should just listen brothers complain couplets not reflect respect. Looking at my mother's illness I know in the past by watching this now it's time to ripen. I suggest to you purchase projectile being Head BHN, he merits for all bondholders complain of hull form to reduce confusion.
Having a strange thing I noticed is that even though my mother is very sick just skin and bone, but very specific diet three times normal. Every two hours to eat once. If not, then the house must eat milk mixed drink. Every day my mother to painkillers and the pain seemed to drag stuff to do at night screaming in pain, sometimes just walk around her screaming in the middle of the night. After a few days is next to my mother and witnessed phenomena like I know my mother left home owners are being unfairly abused. Health food of my mother's not an old person eating 76-year-old, that can only be eaten by petitioners to have abused power night to my mother like that.
One night I came across a body lying screaming in pain, I come bedside monitoring tool, a hand lightly touching his neck tumor samples themselves, the other with clasped hands, eyes closed and somehow in my head started to "talk" to the tumor, said in mind and not in words. I said, "Ladies and gentlemen oan body part on my mother left home, please take a lenient forgive my mother's fault. Out of ignorance before my mother was harming you. Now I would like to sincerely repent replacement for my mother. All I ask virtue healthy for your dedication to your rebirth to the Ultimate Bliss World of Amitabha Buddha. Now I would like to recite the Rebirth Pay all you can about the Buddha. "And at that time I was interested in photography ever mantra emanating from the mind, simultaneously visualize individual microbes from neck my mother is seated on the lotus flower flying toward Amida. Later I thought it a bit strange, because normally I only Buddhist concept of time meticulously, not paying any concept at all. Yet somehow I do not recite the Buddha's time, that the mantras. I like that idea a long time, and then I saw my mother lying dormant, not screaming anymore so I went to open my eyes and asked my mother had still hurt again? Mothers do not answer that. Turns out the tumor also have the Buddha nature and spiritual emptiness like us.
Upon "bribe" to his brother, the remaining $ 2,000 dollars in my pocket to use all the free birth and is divided into two tranches. Morning I was with her in the shopping BHN aquatic species to free birth. Come on big fish, small fish, large snails, baby snails, crabs ... buy a lot. She heads BHN familiar with this job should sell individual clients face are familiar names. After purchasing the projectile being finished, the group brought all the bags, cans of fish to spread outside the market. Do not know where to have 2 of the original jeep urban order looms and stopped right in front of the whole group. I thought the trouble to make it, because we do so many toys too, accounting for nearly all the streets in the market, and vehicles are not going to be original urban "Hot" off. Look at his face tepid order who I also tiring. He's big question that: "All this underground map to someone, why to the end of the street?" After listening to the group's interpretation of the material purchased and is awaiting release of animals to transport your car to go, he make it easy and left without saying another word. I'm glad to say that I did not run out of space something unfortunate happens. While we do not know yet struggling to call the car to get it in the market do not have a sudden he nibbled approached him and introduced himself as a truck driver, transporting aquatic products for sale to the all market stalls. Seeing so many people buy larger birth, he volunteered to carry out the animals go free birth without money. Not only this, but anytime you purchase many would like to volunteer to help. Yes, it is real. So both times he was free birth trucks are dedicated to bringing real help.
Tang to free birth place is a bit far away and walked to a private road. The road has a tree-like iron barrier protective barrier when trains passing strangers to not give into that area. When we came here the team had to stop and knives sapwood looking for someone who can not help out. Ask the owner is known areas (the only key to unlock the iron tree barrier) is not gone home. Then they all looked at each other not knowing what is your plan for a journey, free birth place is not much longer. At that time seemed a miracle when the distance a ball is turned Honda into the path of the group is waiting. Turns out it was the owner of the region, just as there are "people" told him to go right at the moment so. After all the area who know of group expectations, rejoice pay immediately opened the gate for us to go through and smiled brightly. It took nearly an hour to carry out the new group of animals from birth to release the car down to the river as a given. Everyone was tired from the midday sun but feel glad to know that saving is very much life scene exit chopping knife slash cut. There is a small detail but perhaps also predestined is that during a group dinner at a grocery store projectile birth, suddenly met a group of other fellow from Saigon to Nha Trang play. So that evening after being launched to complete the 2 groups was the concept for the sample households me. Since the tool is also blessed, but unfortunately that is not much.
During my time in Vietnam for nearly 3 weeks to the day BHN also to compel themselves Buddhist concept form. In addition to the Buddhist concept with BHN, I also try to reveal the more common form and Buddhist concept itself is sometimes more hours a day. In the rooms of my mother I moved all the furniture out leaving only the bed. On the walls are Amitabha Buddha images are put hand to form the body can lead to see Buddha everywhere. Take care over every day I instructed my mother if the father, mother, or my father had to take to lead them away, do not go home because it was falsely disguised bondholders. Just follow the Buddha Amitabha only. I often asked my mother every single day is a question: "What color Amitabha, physiognomy like?" Mothers are also difficult to answer that: "Amitabha wearing red, yellow background, left hand holding lotus flower, stretched his right hand down. "That is the picture of Buddha are hung in the room my mother on the wall 4. She advised me to bring Chief BHN figure eight to lead the West into the room to see my mother is, I think reasonably well, but my mother was afraid distracted when he saw many different Buddha images, so I did not follow what you mean. Hopefully she will understand that growth BHN my heart at that moment.
Nianfo be more like a few days suddenly my mother was born not want lazy Buddhist concept as much as before. Specifically Buddhist concept started with a sluggish mood, and fetched because to me kindly, not the form itself nianfo relatives. When he was not as close with my father, my mother often went to the temple and love to listen to the teachers of the law. The main form has set for itself is the hobby I have heard about the law of the time and often visited the house of cassette drive (no CD then as now) inside the sermons of many shamans to me brought America to hear. Unfortunately my mother only knew contraband property, not religious blessing religious blessing outflows know. By getting to sample the healing of the mind body seem larger rebirth. Even though I have all explanations, and BHN also explained to my mother that when a shirt was too old and torn, whether to wear patched several times but finally it's time to walk away and not be healthy forever. Body and that was about it. At low external ventricular hy future, life as a lamp hanging in the wind, how long the lights burning fire forever? During his near relative form, I try to do everything all good and dedicate the merit for my mother. Each night before the Buddhist shrine I sincerely pray for my mother to be reborn in the time I was in Vietnam, as soon as possible. I see all the money being launched myself can do nothing further to add merit to my mother early on with Buddhism during this time. I did not hesitate to take my time to my temple hair and am committed to bringing the virtues of dedication to my mother. After I take my hair down, for several days after that I felt very hot overhead. A feeling of heat radiating from the inside rather than the outside of the hot weather in March form. The heat seemed hotter than ever is when I sit and recite the Buddha. This until now I do not know why, but I can guess by the new highway, to go out in the sun so hot inside the house should be like?
hair When I no longer see the body continues What was his to give away to charity or I wish my mother was reborn. So when he saw a small knife to Thailand on the table I think about bloodletting to write his name Amitabha Buddha pink and burning offerings to the Buddhas. Thinking is done by knife spend long days but not longer be sharp so I had to cut away the door on the fingers repeatedly until blood decent. Prior to this I had knelt before the altar to pray a prayer Buddha did not change, I just ask that merit to be reborn body pattern in time I was in VN, so I can take care of form a body integrity. Unfortunately, perhaps my prayers not sincere enough to feel the Buddha.
Having once I recite the Buddha sitting in the same room BHN Thanh Lien hull form, my eyes look upward, the image of Amitabha Buddha suddenly something that made me pay attention. Then I saw a yellow halo around Buddha have grown and brilliant shine. In the meantime there are people around the Buddhist concept and not see anyone else have strange gestures. So I continued to recite the Buddha and said nothing. At the end she did not expect the deceased chief BHN automatically revealed that she saw Buddha halo of light emitted during a recitation of Buddha's name. So me and her are only visible head of BHN's auspicious, no one else besides realizing it. I hear you say well just smile but did not say anything and silent until now. Thereby we know that Buddhas have optical zoom during the deceased holder that human eyes can not see us. later time in the next three weeks the mother, on the same day BHN Buddha, apparently health form itself is somewhat better than that symptoms reborn, I hit the road back to the U.S. and carefully record the name and telephone number of the BHN sister in her sister-in-law, advised him when something happens to BHN form without the body side, call BHN, should not hospitalized. I also told her brother like my brother than normal, or think that also slaps the water. I'm sure that's true brother, if the new fish in the pond was also slapped, but if the pond has no fish, there are many slaps did not benefit anything. Mothers older, if it was time to go, let yourself go and not form should take my mother to the hospital to do anything else. Approximately one month later hear people say back home my mother was no longer interested the Buddhist concept BHN BHN anymore so she is no longer in the home to support concept for the sample itself. Listening to this I just sighed. Europe also form part of the body is blessed like that, even though I tried to paddle. But every month I was sent to her property at the launch ceremony BHN chief merit being the most specific reducing your poor body is partially or form a part of it. Prior to the U.S., I had a visit grandmother (my grandfather's sister) was too old and weak. She was lying in bed on the bed and fall into a mesmerizing half half of the province. Everything Personal hygiene must have helped but she was no longer master himself again. To visit her house, I felt sorry she should know that although hard to tell what she knew to be at the moment, but I think with just a glimmer of hope as well to try. later when hanging pictures Amitabha great momentum in the last place the bed so that when she woke can see, I was so close to where she is a Buddhist concept with hope before death if she heard the Buddha's name is not to fall into three lines data as Stratum taught his words. Then I tried opening up for her, but to speak loudly because she was more severe ear. During the open market at times she could open her eyes and say a few words look, eyes toward the figure as Amitabha seem to understand. A few minutes like she was back in a coma, but I still stand adjacent to the open market continue to pray for her 18th force in the Infinite Life Sutra, then leave. few months later I heard her out go, but before her departure fortunately my sister-in-law convinced her children in the family invited to BHN Thanh Lien to support her idea. No doubt remember her sister-in-law told me that when things words call for BHN to come to the concept. It was not in vain I carefully recorded the numbers of sisters in BHN in her notebook. Over the phone, she told me to chatter about her strange day I left. Rather the idea of them getting a BHN see if the dying person has fallen into a coma not conscious that they will not receive word of the deceased. But perhaps due to leave Vietnam before I tell you about the growth BHN her case, so she seems sympathetic and the latter because of the respect that the concept of her homes. departure date outside her soft voice minister Commerce, trees in blossom, though the tree suddenly bought several years ago but never once flowering. Birds fly from nowhere a lot of parking on the roof. After this I can take this advice Yew Yin lay Buddhist temple on the occasion of attention to China in Washington State, USA to introduce their practice mindfulness him it was confirmed that, based on that auspicious likely she was reborn. Returning to the U.S. is 3-4 months I believe one day or hump on the neck to my mother suddenly burst and stinking black blood flowing a lot. Listen to the half where many small bucket for cleaning water containers. Such injustice is part bondholders had left the body of my mother and my mother had since then eat less, like the diet of older people rather than eat as much as before anymore. Later that year, at midnight everyone in my family was sleeping when he got the call from Vietnam I informed my mother passed away. Fortunately, a few hours before her sister-in-law has come to call for assistance BHN concept for my mother from dying and 8 hours later. Voice relatively good general when limbs are soft body pattern. But that does not leave my mother while I was in Vietnam as a prayer, but one thing is fulfilled, I still pray for my mother to be more out going into full daylight and improve side protection intellectual property concept . Indeed, my mother did not go out at night but during the day should come almost to a complete BHN to compel specific. tales of my mother I would have come to an end, but I would add that: probably rely little merit being launched that day for my mother but I also enjoy spreading blessings, by strange disease I have suffered for 25 years suddenly went away without saying goodbye.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGHTFOLD PATH.NAM MO SAKYA MUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.8/7/2014.
