A. - Open Thread
We live in this world no one is completely clean. Buddha constantly taught: "For whatsoever is down to the three worlds, rolling in six lines, is not a species that is completely clean, not a sin as to which end all".
Indeed, this world was called mundane, how clean? It is often said "the election is round the tube is long"; so, in the bush all have to dust. Street has a long body covered with long lifetimes, on top of us, into the chamber liver lungs
of us. It makes our blindness can not see the right way; it makes us opaque heart, not see the true mind. If we want to live forever in the dust scene, want to wallow in sin, then do not say. But when
we want to be pure leisure, to shed our sins to be gentle, for women, then of course we must find ways to subtract out dust, to eliminate all sin. In Buddhism, method of removal was called repentance.

B. - District Threads
I. - Definition:
The word "Sam", Sanskrit called Samma; Tau translated as "repentance." Kinh said: "Sam Gỉa shopping pre-shield, the exchange term consequences." That is, Sam is the fault before repentance, and exchange are not given the following error. If you use an Uncle Sam or an exchange is not enough words meaning, so the old To join two words into the word "Penitential", translated in Vietnamese as "repentance contains errors." Thus the Penitential words imply repentance, remorse for past mistakes, regardless of the long fast, and now to come later, his prayer is not repeated again. If you know the old bug is flying, now I would atone, but still do it later, it is not true in Buddhism Penitential.
II .- The way Penance.
1 .- Penitential wrong.
Yes the word is the term Penitential own Buddhism. When called Penitential that wrong, is not Penitential anymore. But for convenience of expression, let us temporarily use two words to say how common the sin in this world or in the outside directors (outsiders).
The world, when her sins to him, the village water, betel used alcohol, pork or chicken, money to sin, sorry. Sometimes we again used the form "rate of atonement", but the offense with the court or in the military, for example. Forms can also take the seat or atonement, but not perfect and even crude. It applies only to deal with the outside, but inside the case of sins happen in our inner, these sins are very subtle, very profound, but it is difficult to apply the said form on.
In the heathen, we also use many forms of sin: as a direct use animal blood to get baptized with the spirit; a policy directed to bathe in the rivers and streams where it is sacred to the sins; is directed to bring supplies to ask
pardon of the Holy Spirit; have directed the policy of austerity and force identified themselves as beating, hunger, thirst, cold to heat, bile taste are thorns to be freed of sin . The way such redemption are all wrong. Psychological sin, not the generals. So how can retrieve material such as water, blood, or body supplies to clean up the crime.

The way such redemption are all wrong. Psychological sin, not the generals. So how can retrieve material such as water, blood, or body supplies to clean up the crime.
2 .- Penitential true.
Buddha taught that sin by the mind of the creator, no one has the right payoff is. Bad seed sower bad fruit, seed growers are enjoying your delicious fruit. Sin was created from the mind, the mind must also be from Sam. Speech is clear, even reasonable, with the experiment. So we want to sins, should follow the law y Penitential true of Buddhism that was operating. In Buddhism, there are four methods of penance as well, which belongs to the law, a law of the process:
a) legal work Sam Ho i: France belongs to the penitent, to make pure sex appeal up now and prove, so-called legal work. When the colon's, I have to honestly express a sincere sin, repentance and prayer even mind not to relapse again later. A penitential devotion such as sex can be pure, that is all offense.
b) The Prime Minister of penance: this belongs to the French, and harder than previous methods. This Buddhist institutions, is the visualization of penance, for those who cultivate highly qualified, or no increase in engine, or have, but not pure. Want to repair this, one must come before the Buddha or Botat, heartfelt worship, presentations have committed sins, repent and pray leave off. Doing so from the first day, 3 day, 7 days, 49 days, and always good to see the minister when: as found glory, golden lotus, see the Buddha, Bodhisattvas to delete first etc. .. the last time.
c) Red List of penance : France also belongs to repent of, by Sir Real Master the Chinese Song Dynasty compiled. 53 him to withdraw the Buddha's name in the Business "Three Five Ten Buddha" which is from Buddha to Buddha Pho Quang Nhut Trang The French Man United, and draw the Buddha in the Sutra 35 "Pub of Medicine, is awarded" to the French Buddha body A-Di-Da, then add to shelves Samantabhadra Vow, the penitential rite, the total of 108 bows, 108 except to indicate distress. This penitential rite, even if one of the feast, it would eliminate the suffering and sin has created, in the present as well as many past lives. Buddha-Thi Ty-She said: "If any beings hear this Buddha title 53, the memory of hundreds of thousands of lives do not fall into the three evil way." Shakyamuni Buddha said, "long ago, Dieu Quang Buddhist life, we come face to legal practice, thanks to titles 53 to hear this Buddha, and heartfelt worship, but to avoid the pain of birth and death in road in many lives. " 35 And after the Buddha's name, from Shakyamuni Buddha to Buddha-Lien-Hoa Buu Thien-Ta-La-Head-Life United, then in the Post-Integration Business said: "If all human beings, or offenses contingent or cross against evil, to want life can not repent, confess only 35 titles and worship Buddha, how many obstacles are eliminated crime. "
Red List of Buddhas have merit so inconceivable, so he Real Shamans new protocol designed to do penance. French red list repent now, most chuadeu practice. Later he From Van Mage because of
the weak or not used to bowing much, should have written a penitential rite, very compact and easy to meaningful, also known as primary measures of penance, for every Buddhist day may repent of his sins.

d) Radio-born repent : France belongs to repent of, very high and difficult, frustrating often need to be able to practice
- you were born CONCERN : That is my observation is self-interest money is not being. As in Kim-Cang Kinh said: "Consciousness can not be past, present no mind, no mind to the future." Consistent in three have no interest period, the outlook is not where that concept, if concept outlook is not available, then the sin is not. Kinh said: "I'd say that the mind being well away from the heart. If the mind is not born, I am no longer, so the true repentance."
- The French you were born : That is very general observations (selected character) cuacac not being legal. The word "real minister" means the Minister was not born not kill, lie unspoilt; over the years it is often like that, no change in time or space displacement, throughout this old lens, to call is very general (Gen. true). It also called feet or feet as heart ... When the minister receives it then, these are no longer fiction. At that time the sins (fictional) past, no longer the first chicken that exist. in Kinh Quan Samantabhadra is written: "To repent, be it general consistency of the method, the new crime is annihilated.
III .- Healthy Development Hanh invited to banish old sins
Ceremony of penance done, to develop good behavior for many, to banish old sins.
1 .- Discussion of sin over time . The old toiloi our lot, we can say is countless. The continuation of our live contact with each other from generation to generation it as an endless chain. Then one in life, from birth to death, from death to birth, we just create more crime forever. From this currency crossing the other so bad, then from a minor go to a big crime, the momentum carried him up forever on forming a power called karma, guided us into the street suffering, delusion, ie the birth and death so we are feeling. The Flower Adornment Sutra Samantabhadra Botat said: "If evil beings are formless, all unreal is not contained at all." Indeed, the sins of all beings boundless pile of life, and communications connections over time, by heredity, customs, habits quenv.v ... Nature such as greed, our birth, how can anyone teach us, so that we know! No one told us to anger, so that having something unwanted, we can demand, a problem with buzzing. The character had a bad time with family and very deep, but hard to stop. In Business we call it "disturbing question being," or "organic seed obligation," meaning that the seeds for a long time. The seeds of this bad even as grace born of other sins, but in texts called "discrimination distress" or "the starting seed," meaning seed new infections due to time and practices and customs govern. "Distinguishing distress may be easier than, but" disturbing question being "very hard to except. They are like grass, shot, stabbed deep roots very far and if the gardener despised it is not easy to clean grass land clearing.
So we should not repent so poorly, getting there is! We have to do that:
a) The other major character less bad eventually, by the power of sincere and determined to press;
b) Then the great end of them from the bad rebirth.
Want to cool them off, but if no suitable method, it is like taking ice to grass: it is temporarily crushed, but the rock moved away, it will grow stronger than before. Appropriate method in the repentance is: To develop good behavior, to eliminate old sins.
2 .- Development of good behavior . In our hearts each contain not all evil nature. If the bad character has been around since forever, the good nature of the cortex, also had. We each have the Buddha nature is like a germ of good behavior, the seeds that
were buried under many layers of desire, delusion. Now they want to eliminate our desire to create conditions for the flowering Buddhahood sprout leaves, on flowers, fruit Bodhi. Bode conditions make germ development is good as well: Cutting, Hyxa, Bothi,
Trigioi, patience, etc. .. Tinhtan If we develop good character was, of course the bad character no land to grow again.
