CHAPTER 1.PRECIOUS HUMAN LIFE.

R life area knowledge valuable, with great potential, but impermanent and full of discontent. So to take advantage of this life by practicing right now.

Human life, which is in the middle period in the womb and at the time of death, often with much joy and achievement, a source of great benefit. But life is also subject to many forms of suffering can not be avoided, the mind and body. A miserable life also seems to have passed quickly and a happy life can not stop feeling full. So life is fleeting and ultimately unsatisfactory as it oscillates between good and bad experiences, that is, between happiness and sadness that we seem unable to control.

Life begins at conception and ends with the process of "disease and death," or any accident leading to death. Body and consciousness exist together in harmony when we are still breathing and body warmth. When the breath stops and no warmth, spirit and physical form separately, and of death. (According to PG when the circuit is stopped, one can not die. When touching your chest, but found the dying warmth that person has not died, and may be in a state of meditation).

REAL HUMAN NATURE

Body is not truly human being, which is just the inn, where consciousness or our mind dwell for a time. When consciousness leaves the inn there, tan body enter back into the four great elements (earth, water, wind, fire). Consciousness will continue to regenerate with a different body and different identity depending on the karmic past. Destiny of our future, whether good or bad, depends on the temperaments, habits of thought and emotion, and way of expressing verbal habits and actions.

The true nature of consciousness or "mind" is wide open, and not pure. It is the qualities of harmony, joy, omniscient and perfect. Virtue is called "enlightenment" or "Buddha nature". Buddhist Sanskrit is called "Buddha" means "Enlightened One". Everyone has the Buddha nature. Intellectual mind is really no dualistic thinking, which is self-limiting nature, life experiences division into subject and object, "his" and "others". The very nature of mind is "omniscient", saw all at once and "duality", and is the single most boundless. In the "realm vacuum" of us, not only the mind or intellect, but also infinite space and time infinity.

So why do not we all know of our self? it is because of the sincerity of mind has been covered by the familiar dualistic concept of intellectual capital distinction always distinguish, compare, cause brain troublesome emotions, desires. However, despite the emotions of greed, hatred, ignorance, jealousy and arrogance, your inner wisdom mind we still pure, that is still pure and suffering.

To explore the nature of mind, we must faithfully and diligently practice meditation. We must recognize and meditate on the right view, right thought, right feeling, right belief and righteous lifestyle. But even the idea that they were true, then only pure mind this also helps us build confidence, diligent practice and inspires us to reach the true goal.

There may be those who think mind nature and rigid attachment, can not be repaired. Can we claim to have sunk deep into bad habits so hard to build ways of thinking, way of looking and feeling good. But really any time we also have the opportunity to start practicing the right lifestyle or lifestyle changes from bad to good.

The truth is that our mind is not a fixed strain. It is not a single object, such as an iron bar, which is a series of constantly changing moments, like a necklace is 'time' from the particles to other particles. Each event is a series of changes of moment of birth and death, an experience that followed another event and was succeeded by the generation of other events. People often think that their life is a continuous and single lines, but really it's just an illusion, like an incense stick is spinning faster will make people see a light circle in the shade dark.

If we feel depressed or deadlock, as so often is because we do not understand the ephemeral nature of life. We cling to these events as objects of mind and view them as real entities. But the truth is that these events have changed even before we think about them. The events that we think is the shadow, the mirror image of what took place.

Every event, every moment is something new, like a child. We can be shaped and can be self-education or training as for a newborn baby. Through meditation, we can modify events at every moment, and thus discover their true nature.

The purpose of meditation:

There have been many questions about the focus of meditation. They found meditation is self indulgent, and there may be selfish or demanding, because if only to enjoy the calm sitting lost in his mind is so beneficial to society? How can you tell him that I care about others?

The question is so misunderstood meditation, and it is because we have not seen most of the benefits of meditation.

Everything we think or feel are spawning a good or bad impression corresponds in mind (or consciousness). Thoughts selfless, happy harmony or sow the seeds will yield the most beautiful form, the best sound and best feelings. Conversely, bad thoughts will give birth to monsters, sounds terrible. But just leaving the coarse body, passing through the intermediate bardo realms, will we see and hear this phenomenon.

Meditation is the best means to create the bodies, sound, good feeling can help yourself as well as all those who feel they are ready. People in the intermediate realm itself is very sensitive to meditation and prayer because they live in the spiritual world, there is no physical body to fix in, if they think "New York" they will find themselves was in New York. If even that they think "London" London will then immediately where they stand, by the permission of retribution. Every adventure promoted as such, they often experience depression, fear and loneliness.

Bliss and compassion that we generated through meditation will be a good place for those living in realms intermediate body relax and become more confident, calm and joy. Meditation is a way to help this creature better than the wandering thoughts and feelings of our common, because it arises from the deeper and more peace in our mind. Like a magnet, cylindrical in mind Meditation attract venture promoted consciousness and make them more stable. As head of a longer meditation, the more we can comfort those living this more and have more opportunities to make their future better.

Meditation also makes us great help for those who live in this physical realm. If the mind is full of bad feelings that want to help others, whether in the physical realm, we may unknowingly make them feel bad that these infections.

Meditation is a purge of impurities, strengthen the good qualities, and his true nature awakens. Meditation can be the experience of the virtues as honor, peace, kindness and strength, that is generated by the thoughts and feelings honestly. In meditation we can experience the enlightened mind. Thus meditation and meditation is an experience, a reach, nature purifies and helps to acquire the treasure of compassion, peace, joy and faithfulness, and thus make our lives richer, have more energy to serve others. Once you have these qualities, all what we say and do will naturally express and reflect the qualities that. We have become a source of compassion, peace and joy for all who come into contact with us. Only the presence of us also bring comfort to others. So, just as not to forget the roots of a tree if you want it to bear fruit for you, we can not neglect your mind if you want to benefit others.

At least rational, many of us know the importance of meditation but they ignore or do not practice meditation. The reason is that we know but have no interest to practice. So how to get excited about meditation.

There are two basic types of incentives to meditation: the first one is inspired, the second is fear. Life is a rich source for these two types of incentives. For example, having an extraordinary teacher can be inspiring event for us. Or it may be events such as illness, death of a loved one, or a great tragedy occurred as the tsunami disaster in South Asia and Southeast Asia make us wake up and properly commented on life.

Buddhism urges us to think deeply about the nature of life in the capital as well as inspire us fear:

- There are moral life is precious

- Life is impermanent, constantly translated

- The events in life are good or bad karma

- The life of pain

- Life has the potential to reach the highest goal.

These properties are not fake, that is the truth about life. Previously we did not know or do not care about them, but now we pay attention to the dynamics of this practice. At my monastery in Tibet, every morning we start meditating in the contemplation of this year. We do not need to meditate and contemplate on them that we can think about them at anywhere and anytime. These will help us to know the true nature of life, leading us into the lead, and inspire us to cultivate and maintain Buddhist life.

Life is hard:

Life is so precious because it is the foundation of our construction practice not only of this life but also for all the next. Lifetime opportunity for us to achieve enlightenment, to experience true peace and shines to bring these qualities to benefit all sentient beings. If the realization of his true nature, the universe will become a source of happiness for us, and we also become a source of peace and harmony to the universe.

If we recognize this valuable opportunity and understand the value of life, we will immediately feel and appreciate life. Gratitude becomes determination not waste a single moment of life and dedicated his life for the benefit of all its possibilities.

Let us examine how much of life on this earth this extraordinary opportunity, because when it came out so we know how lucky I was. Looking around we will see a multitude of living creatures on earth. If you flip a rock up, we see hundreds of insects crawling underneath. Looking through a microscope, we see numerous organisms in a drop of water. Alone in the bowels of the billions we have germs. According to Buddhism, every human germs also are found consciousness and happiness.

In addition, there are a lot of live that we did not see. Like all other traditional cultures around the world believe that there are unseen creatures such as gods and demons. Buddhism also believes that there are countless species of creatures invisible to our eyes, that these creatures exist among us, at the point where we were sitting and breathing. The reason why we and other creatures that did not see each other and not interfere in each other's lives, because we and they have no causal contact with each other to generate an awareness of each other.

But in the life of living beings and inadvertently this vast and wonderful, men have the greatest potential to achieve enlightenment, because we were inspired, rational and efforts to reach out and go way that the mind linh.Trong when animal species living in hell and suffer and lack of reason that we can not get an enlightened qualities at all. The gods of longevity may be lucky than us because they have light body beautiful happiness and everything, but they do not have the bittersweet experience to cause suffering motivation and ability to find enlightenment like as our species, which are too immersed in their pleasures.

However, human beings in the world, we find very few people tend or intend to seize this golden opportunity to practice and attain enlightenment. Many people today do not believe in belief and religion. Many people do not know anything about the potential of his mind, including some who have high intellectual level. There was an intellectual who told me: "mind is a fungus that grows in the brain."

Many people are too busy living life jacket and rice disease or indulged in pleasures that do not make time for spiritual development. Others have used up their capacity to achieve material success and reputation of the world. There are those who tend to have a little spiritual, but not the right path, for not having been properly enlightened master or instructor and chose wrong values. Thus only a small part humans have the opportunity to grow spiritually.

Buddhist teachings set forth the conditions ideal for spiritual development, which is eight and ten interest free.

Eight of freedom is:

1 / not born in hell

2 / not born evil hunger

3 / not born in the animal species

4 / not born of natural realms long life (in this world do not have the opportunity to practice)

5 / not wrong

6 / do not commit acts of barbarism

7 / no nihilism

8 / not born in the place without a teacher of enlightenment appeared

Ten benefits are:

1 / to be born as a human

2 / have the five senses

3 / genuine occupational

4 / where Buddhism was born

5 / born where enlightened teacher

6 / catechism teacher enlightenment

7 / teachings that still exist

8 / have faith in the teachings

9 / practice of teaching

10 / with the guidance of a teacher

Thus, there is rarely enough all the 18 above-mentioned ideal conditions. In Buddhism who meet these conditions shall be considered a precious human life. But no matter how many things, we should celebrate because I had those things and take advantage of them. And we also try to achieve what you are missing. If such recognition, we would never dare to waste this precious opportunity, and sooner or later we will understand the precious human life is peaceful and enlightened vacuum.

If not seize this opportunity to make their lives meaningful and transform it into a precious human life we can not say that I will have another chance in the future. After all, humans have sharp minds in the living being, but also the most powerful emotions, so we're very vulnerable to emotional appeal and do things wrong could lead to rebirth the lower realms. Reviews Master Shantideva said, " it is difficult to make people with good conditions. We have a chance to achieve the noble goal of life, but if not take advantage of this opportunity, how to get another chance? "

Life is impermanent

Death is a subject to achieve the best focus the mind. Reflecting on the death and the impermanence of life, easy to feel we must urgently take advantage of their precious human life. When willow radical sense of impermanence, we will know the nature of life and therefore will do its best practice.

We all know you will to death, but we do not know how I'll be dead. We naturally see my life is going long, but in fact we live only when the consciousness still remain in the body. The combination of consciousness and body are easily destroyed by such things as illness, accident, medicines, food, housing, recreation, friends ... all can become lethal.

Life seems to be a continuous existence, but it is a series of ups and downs in every time. The stages of life and death as continuous alternating day and night after another. In each time, the transformation takes place in an endless life, like beads in hand continuous line from particle to particle to another.

Everything in life, like nature, friendship, wealth and status, are changing. He says: " the three realms of sex gender, gender identity, gender are immaterial, are impermanent like autumn clouds. Life and death is spinning like a dancer. Life is like a lightning fast through the sky ".

Tempe Guntheny Dronme told that there is a sudden roamed the mountain slopes down. While rolling down halfway, then grasp a handful of grass, just try my best to stick to the grass does not fall into the abyss; But where cows to a white mouse gnawing the grass; then a mouse to black also. Two mouse turns eating the grass until it is no longer a port, and he had fallen into the abyss.

In this parable, white mice represents daylight, black rats billion example for the night. Days and nights passed in turn brings us closer to an end one's life. We live a life, but we are always close to death. He says:

"There is a tan capacitor

There has promoted the bass

There is a separation meeting

Having lived there died

Because life will end

Should beings will die "

Many of us know that, at least at the level of reason. We also know that death often comes unexpectedly. But we feel more comfortable with their heads in the sand, watching as my life will last forever. So we are not prepared for death, so that at the last minute and we regret it will be too late.

So we must be aware of its impermanence of life, and really felt the variability of its services. The realization will spur us on the path leading to peace where peace but do not dare to waste more time.

Use of impermanence to eliminate negativity:

Awareness of impermanence is a large useful. In addition to motivate us to practice, the reason contemplate impermanence can dispel depression and lead to supreme enlightenment.

The impermanence of anger: understanding impermanence makes us more tolerant. Feel angry when someone hurt her, if you understand the impermanence of anger, we will realize the current enemies of his descendants may have in his previous life. Tomorrow, they might be a good friend of ours. Meaning it will eliminate negativity in our anger. We can also feel the meaninglessness and emptiness of the dispute with others, because they are born constantly changing. We can feel compassion for those who are watching this is my enemy, because over time, of their intention to do harm become bad karma for themselves.

The impermanence of desire: the desire a person or a thing, we must think about the impermanence of the objects. Young people become old pretty bad right before our eyes. These things bring pleasure today will become tomorrow's source of suffering due to lost or altered. Material wealth and social status only makes us become their slave. Hang on to those things is like being strangled his own.

If we pursue worldly sights are only deluding yourself. Due to reflect on the impermanence of the objects are haunted his mind, we will realize the ephemeral nature, they are not reliable and will eventually no longer fun to be with them. When our desires fade, we may be able to bring satisfaction and true joy for himself and whatever he does. No lust or an object to hang on my mind that it is the greatest source of happiness. He says:

" All worldly pleasures

All pleasures in heaven

Can not be compared with one-sixteenth

Joy of freedom from craving. "

The impermanence of sorrow: when his mind sank because just lost a favorite character that we should reflect on the impermanence of sorrow and grief caused. This meditation can remove our troubles concerns by removing its cause, which is our attachment to something that really has no real properties and not reliable. We might be sad to have to deal with what they do not like. When you feel the impermanence of them, we will be able to dispel the grief resources.

The impermanence of excitement: The contemplation of impermanence can help us avoid excited state. For example, being known to have been a blessing that, instead of joy, we should think that this fortunate situation was fleeting. A study in the United States in recent years about lottery winners, winning that event many millions of dollars does not make people happier lottery. The truth is that the winning ticket to make them suffer more because of family disputes, lawsuits each other, and therefore do not spend money wisely. One other study found that " the millionaires are not happy surprise than the victims of traffic accidents . "

When she died we only carry the spiritual realization that they have achieved, the habits they have in mind when planting in the world alive. All other events are not happy or suffering significant. Shantideva commentator wrote: " a waking dream of joy long after a hundred years, another man wakes up after something bad dream short-lived beauty. But when both wake up, their dreams are no longer. Likewise, at death, not life or longevity, longevity is no longer ".

The path to enlightenment profound: If we as practitioners gained experience, the contemplation of impermanence can lead to state the most profound realizations, which is a universal truth, the sense pin realization. Great practitioner of Milarepa wrote:

" For fear of death

I ran into the mountains

Meditation on the unexpected death of

I realize the immortal status of infertility

Now we no longer fear death anymore . "

If you realize that death is inevitable, and the impermanence of the objects of mind, all the bad habits of mind associated with them are removed. Our mind becomes open rather than attachment, instead of letting go hold on, calm instead of chaos and harmony instead of conflict, rather than conscious indifference or love and wisdom instead mistaken. All our lives will change from sin to healthy. Putowa guru says

" Let's reflect on the sudden death.

I think of death will inevitably occur.

Thus we will easily being apart from the bad karma

And strive to create good karma . "

If hi To u clearly the impermanence of things there will be no target is too high for us to be shattered. Two qualities of the true nature of compassion and wisdom will shines and illuminates all things.

So we must be grateful for impermanence, because thanks to it that the sufferings of life will end if we practice diligently, and then the household will be able to transform our lives into the precious life.

Life is governed by the law of causality:

One of the most powerful driving force of the practice is know that you will get all the karma of the industry body, speech, they have created. This is the law of karma.

The concept of causal law has become so popular in the West, but many people think that means that the causal network or a certain kind of punishment but of course one has to accept. Sometimes when people have complained about unfortunate, "perhaps this is his karma."

Think that's a mistake, because first of all cause and effect not only mean bad, but want to cover all intentional acts, bad as well, causing suffering and happiness.

Second, cause and effect, karma or karma, is not fate or destiny, nor is the punishment by a certain external factors imposed on us. Karma we have created for yourself. Karma is the result of voluntary actions that we do in every moment every day. Grand Master Walpola Rahula wrote " theory of causality of the cause and effect, action and reaction. Cause and effect is a natural law, the other with the idea of justice or reward and punishment. All intentional acts are consequences to himself caused by the creation ". Retribution is what we have sown in my mind those lines of action and their own reactions.

If you think you have to wait till the result of past actions, it appears to me is a wrong idea. Create good karma of body, speech, and mind right now, the good karma we create can dispel his bad karma has cultivated in the past, and reshaped my future. But if you tolerate the evil of his career, we can destroy or reduce the karma that has been done in the past. The destiny we create our own good or bad.

In death, we can only bring your karma. Everything that we enjoy in this life must be left behind. He says:

"A king and also to death

Wealth, relatives, and friends can not follow him

They even go anywhere, even where

Also take the karmic shadow following them . "

Karma is a factor unique provisions of our rebirth, because the next life is the effect of these trends appear industry in our minds. He says:

" Do good deeds that happiness

Because karma that suffering

So happiness or misery are caused by karma

From the good karma and their karma . "

If you understand and believe the law of karma, we try to create good karma to be happy in the afterlife. Because behavioral intentions ahead of the body and mouth, so let's remodeling his attitude came to mind at peace. Let's end these evil thoughts before they become too bad. If you really believe in the law of causality, we dare not tolerate any thing bad, because do not want to harm yourself with bad karma. If it still misbehaves, it is for us, not understanding and not private law of karma.

The improvement in his behavior also gives us the opportunity to improve the world which is closely related to us. Our karma is not only related to the industry itself but also collective (industry) as well as private industry (industry specific). Individuals defined career and life of human individuals. Collectives is karma that we share with those who have a certain respect for you. As close to others, the more we share much with their results. Collectives is why many people share life and similar ideas. So, by creating good karma, we can help improve the overall karma of the people. The more diligent practice, the more we contribute many benefits to the industry to create this community well.

Thus, for himself and for everyone, let's try to understand in detail the law of karma and retribution.

Industry is the root of ego:

Industrial (Karma) are intentional acts arising from their intentions. Thus care has major role in creating professional and capable of creating professional results.

Before we reach the enlightened mind, karma is a fact of life. We create professional when objects are objects of consciousness entity actually exists. The view of an object is a separate entity with a mind so they called it the essence of it. As mentioned this way felt called "ego", that is, let's hang on to the essence. First, we hang on to the essence of the body and his mind and called it "our", and then we self-grasping the essence of who and other animals, and call the object that is "the This "," the other "," this character "," other things "....

When we see the five aggregates (skandha) form, feeling, perception, making a body and mind, and see them as "we" or "I", the so called self to hang on or ego (selfishness). When viewing the objects as physical, emotional, sensory and other phenomena are real, should be called grasping phenomena or affordable. Grasping the essence or ego and affordable is the root of the karma.

Everything appears in life as a result of the due care professional feel and interact with its objects, such as the notion of contact, feeling, (the excellent care and legal measures) and all phenomena appear in our mind. The material objects that we perceive is not necessarily due to our professional personal cause. However, due to our karma that these objects become the source of the good or bad karma in life.

Created career like?

Industry was created when the mind of our attachment arises a craving for the object is an attachment or anger arises. Both the preferred and non preferred, making the heart stronger attachment, and thus leads to greed, hatred and delusion, ie three disturbing emotions or three malicious. Thus we create karma through three "doors" body, speech, mind (specific actions, words and thoughts). The feeling karma from this mind is the cause of everything bad about body, mind and our society. Guru Gampopa said, " the source of all sin and all suffering is caused by karma ego that out " . Abhidharma Kosa of Vasubandhu commentator said: " Intent is the industry's mind. Body and verbal professional is the work of industrial enterprises by the mind . "

We can not productive, but we can choose to create good karma h bid reap good results, or bad karma to then suffer the consequences. Buddhist sutras instructions 10 and 10 good karma and bad karma of body, speech, and mind are as follows:

Three bad karma of the body: (1) killing, (2) stealing, (3) evil mind. Four of the mouth is bad karma: (4) lying, (5) say divided, (6) say cruel, (7) say nonsense. Three of bad karma for are: (8) craving, (9) and anger (10) wrong.

Ten deeds as opposed to the 10 mentioned above karma. Three deeds of the body: (1) protect the lives of other creatures, (2) giving, (3) not evil mind. Four of mouth is good karma: (4) say sincerely, (5) mediators say, (6) loving speech, (7) say makes sense. Three of the idea is good karma: (8) tolerance, (9) and compassion (10) right view.

The most important single factor in the decision to create good karma or bad karma is the motive or intention of karma. Grand Master Tsongkhapa says : "like magnets identity, intended to make subject to the mind of thoughts attract good, bad or neutral." If our intention is influenced by the three poisons of greed, hatred and delusion Whether the action, speech or thinking, we would also cause bad karma. Reviews Nagarjuna said, " the actions artifact by greed, hatred and delusion are all negative karma, the karma will bring suffering to us and we will be reincarnated into lower realms . "

But if we have the motivation of compassion, tolerance and wisdom and all actions, words, our thoughts are good karma. Reviews Nagarjuna said, " the industry is created not come from greed, hatred, ignorance is good karma, the karma will bring happiness to us and lead us healthy reborn in the afterlife . "

If our intention to blend the good bad good bad career well blended. If the intention is neutral, we become neutral karma, the karma born neither good nor bad and not reborn in higher not lower.

Sometimes we see good people suffering under a bad back and happy. Why? the answer is because the consequences of these two people are not ready. Each of us has created a wealth of industry in countless past lives. Each of our actions are recorded in stealth mode function (alayavijnana, Alaya consciousness, consciousness contains all the experiences of human life). Museum official function as a neutral state of mind, not active, unconscious, and are the foundation of life cycle experience. All actions are recorded in stealth mode function becomes kinetic energy, and will generate karma, in the lives of our future. The karma is the ripening of the karmic seeds we have planted in stealth mode function, and results can be sweet, bitter or neutral results. He says: " mind like the ocean, the waves like career . "

So bad people are enjoying life success is now enjoying the results of the past that good karma, good people that are suffering receive the karmic consequences of the work they created in the past. When the good and bad karma ends then the good and bad karma will come out with good people and bad people there.

The ripe fruit industry in what order? As a general rule, these serious and most powerful industry will mature first. E-business design approach, ie the industry that we created at deathbed. Type of industry is ripe Tuesday that industrial we have used to create the most time and most familiar. And then, the consequences will appear in chronological order, starting with the industry that we created earlier. Thus we will receive some karma in this life and a number of other results in the next life.

We have plenty of seed companies but we do not know the existence of them, and most of them hidden or not yet ripe. When a karmic seeds are ripe, we will life leading his karma. In Buddhist literature there are billions instance a person bitten by a rat poison, if he was bitten in the winter, the toxin is not yet valid. But come spring, when they hear thunder signaled to the season, the Agent will work, if he does not use an antidote. Thus, the right time at the right time, if we do nothing to resolve, ripe karma will inform our response. The Buddha taught: " Professional of the world once made, never tan despite experiencing a loss of hundreds of lives, until the right time, right on time, it will bear fruit industry . "

If we stop and purify negative karma, we can transform, reduce, or eliminate them entirely. A powerful deeds can erase many negative karma. With the stronger motivation, more pure, wholesome of all our more imposing force. We should not underestimate the attention generated by the industry. Buddha also taught: " Do a little good, the next life will enjoy greater happiness, greater achievement intentions, just like the good seed will help lead to the harvest season . "

The reverse is also, a big karma can weaken or dissipate the good karma.

Motivation is most important, but the strength of a career that also depends on whether it has been created through four stages work well or not. For example, an act of generosity. First of all we need to have something for charity, is a v é t giving. Then we need to have the motivation which is absolutely critical factor. Thirdly, giving the performance. When animals received alms to charity then to complete. An action these four stages is a whole industry created work and will bring to the karma karma.

Causal chain of the industry are limitless. A professional person may produce more retribution. A professional person may produce many different causes and conditions. Upon receiving a consequence, we planted several new causal. Every aspect and every moment of life is produced and maintained by a network of causes and conditions, that is, all things are connected, produce and interdependent activities.

Overcome, viz

Karma is true of life, but the ultimate goal of us is beyond the karma. This happens when we reach a state of perfect enlightenment and no ego anymore. Freed from karmic causes industry, we are free to help countless beings by means of, because we have the full enlightenment for the needs of every living being and has the power to manifest in any every shape and sound to bring benefit to all beings.

To rise above the karma, we first of all just good karma. The more good deeds we reap much more peaceful and results so as to create much greater happiness. Thus we gradually let go of ego. Finally, we will experience a bit of clarity of their true nature. When there is no ego anymore, we will reach perfect enlightenment. The way to create good karma work will take us back to the supreme bliss inherent in everyone and in every time.

Life is fantasy?

There is the doctrine that life is a fantasy and other teachings that life created by the industry. For the enlightened masters have escaped the control of the law of causality, the vision of this world is nothing and make it whole. These are no longer lust or anger, because all things are considered hallucinations.

For most of us do things the world seemed so sure. When working through the causes and conditions, we also have to follow the law of karma. Because of our karma, the phenomenon seems to have real existence and continuity. But in fact we slept with a dream and not wake up.

Buddhist doctrine teaches that the world is mind-made. But we may wonder how your mind can make a big mountain in front of my eyes? no one says that the mind creates mountain, which is the heart of the mountain creating ideas. Despite the mountain or not, without the mind, ideas, words, or thoughts mountain real or not real will not appear. In Bach Industrial Business (Karmashataka Sutra) says: " The different industry, creating different realms . "

In Great Bi Business (Mahakarunapundararika Sutra) the Buddha: " Industrial production and manifest world, created beings industry, industry that generate them, they can turn professional . "

Abhidharma Kosa (Abhidharmakosa) also notes: " Industrial born all phenomena in the world. "

One might ask, if life is a fantasy, then why should we strive to improve their life doing? Our life is based on the response and the reflection of the habits of our mind, which is really not true. But we must try to improve their fantasy life, otherwise we will continue to suffer for things magical. Unable to recognize them is illusion we suffer as if they are true.

It should be understood karma:

When you really understand how the industry, we will not intentionally create negative karma, even the smallest. Whatever bad thoughts not yet appeared, we began to purify our mind right now.

In my monastery in Tibet, and before my time, have a great monk named Khenpo Damcho talent, when he was little hard to remember what they have learned. One day he sat me in front of him and told him to repeat a question a hundred times in a lesson, and two Master role alternately intoned sentences. Then he said to his teacher said it alone, but he did not remember n drive i to be repeated. Th MasterSergeant y that his teacher thought him a short spell Purification of the Buddha (Buddha of Purification) a thousand times. As soon as the concept is complete, his memory is completely changed, and he began learning ti ế n strong. He became one of the most brilliant scholars of his time. Why? because the concept was created incantations to dispel evil deeds cause obstruction to the career of his mind.

We can also modify your career with flair t press . The key is to train our minds away and create good karma and bad karma until it becomes complete, exit the industry raised net e n virtual. Once tasted the fruits of their efforts, the belief in karma and the practice of our practice will increase and be firmly established in our minds.

Life is full of suffering:

All of us want to be happy, but when I was stuck in the cycle with the operation of the world, we will not find happiness, because this world is really not worth satisfying and full of suffering. We must be very brainstorming to grips with this.

Many people are pessimistic Buddhist saying that life is suffering. The famous scholar th ế world, Venerable Dr. Walpola Rahula wrote: " Buddhism is not pessimistic, not optimistic, but only speak the truth. Buddhism see things objectively . "

When you really see the futility of finding happiness in the magical world, we would not desire more, but will go the way suffering, Nibbana bliss. This is the wisdom of the measures and results.

We need to face the world suffer because of another reason. If you want enlightenment, we need to start right here and not somewhere else in the plan. That is why the first sermon of the Buddha talks about suffering God (Truth of Suffering), one of the four Noble Truths, which is the central doctrine of his. And that is why we should also learn life objectively. If our life has largely sunk in ignorance and suffering, we should recognize that and know that it is to his departure towards the path.

Suffering: First Noble Truth

Let us examine further the nature of the pain they are suffering. We are all familiar with the suffering they saw around them, for example: melancholy, grief, lamentation and illness ... Suffering is universal Buddhism calls "the suffering of pain" (Suffering of Suffering).

If you look closely, we will see a different colored suffering all the fun and satisfaction of his. We worry all the good things will be terminated or modified in accordance with natural laws. Our children will grow up and distant, then loved ones die, we will become old and weak. The good thing not only stop but also as the source of suffering. The business can make our dismal the bankruptcy. Cigarettes cause lung cancer. This kind of suffering is called "hard pass", suffering from change.

At a deeper level "of suffering," suffering everywhere. This suffering is right here in the aggregates, form, feeling, perception, knowledge, which makes th body To and human consciousness, and in which nothing really satisfied. Buddha said: " All compounded things are processing translation and decay "(all compounded things are subject to change and decay). Compounded phenomena arise from causes and conditions. They are created by the causes of suffering, the notions of karma and afflictions of duality, with the miserable conditions bring. So, to be born is suffering.

It can be said of this world filled with suffering to the extent we become numb to it. The reason in part we are not aware of it because we were not aware of any other realm of life and so nothing to compare with his worldly life.

So let us consider the situation of life from the perspective of the gods. In his book "Journey to Enlightenment" (Enlightened Journey) , I presented the following simple picture: Imagine we have a "light body" like rainbow and, like the living embodiment of the in heaven. It is immaterial light body so we can move by flying in the air. No darkness around us, we do not need the sun or the moon, because his light shone in our surroundings. Without any pain because our body is invisible and indestructible material. We live with this for years. Then one day this light body b in ng body transforms into flesh, bone, skin, blood and all kinds of dirt. We can only move two feet step by step. We can not see anything if there is no other light source. Our body easily be violated by other objects, brittle, broken or cut into pieces, can not heal or go back to stand back if we do not watch carefully, avoiding and wriggling everything around at any time. This is a kind of suffering endured n can not drive i.

Of course, the pleasure of the gods can not compare to the realm of supreme bliss. Since you live in samsara should the gods are sure to have the pain. When good karma their end, they will die in horrible fear the future because I feel pain in waiting for his next life in one of the lower realms.

We should remember the Buddha's teaching that all beings have Buddha nature. As of this enlightenment is the goal to realize by the different practice of meditation. But for most of us, the Buddha nature is covered by the wind industry is the mind which is rooted ego, and by emotional distress. So we become ignorant and suffering and to wander forever in the six realms of reincarnation, like a mechanic's turntable rotating ceramics. He says: " Due to ignorance, desire and translation, in the realms of people, the sky and the three lower realms; in the living realm spinning like a potter's wheel . "

Like a bee flying around the room closed, we continuously regenerated in the realms of existence depending on their karma.

1 / If the mind is full of anger and hurt others, at death, our consciousness will appear in the form of life reborn in hell. Features such as hot fires of hell or cold as ice, pain or sorrow, oppression, aggression, will be our life.

2 / If we scrimp four cropping, after death we will see reborn in her plight, abuse, hunger and deprivation, which are the characteristics of the hungry ghost realm.

3 / If our minds and our actions full of ignorance and confusion, we will find ourselves reborn in the animal realm, animals, subject to ignorance, abuse, to drag c he or carrying heavy objects, and killed for meat.

4 / If there is jealousy, we will see his rebirth in the demigod Atula species, aggression, and fear, jealousy we will fall into conflict and endless intrigue.

5 / If we have thoughts and arrogant behavior, consciousness after death will appear as gods in heaven, where we will charge for the pleasures of time until they die and fall to the realm low.

6 / If our minds and actions have the desire and attachment, we will be reborn as humans.

In the human realm there are many opportunities to practice and spiritual development, but even reborn as humans, we can still get lost out in the street and rebirth in the lower realms. Perhaps we suffer from jealousy and hatred to then create bad karma. Human life is also tough enough to ensure that nothing we would have the power to practice.

Must consider the difficulties that we face from birth to death. First of all we have to go through the birth and childhood. Then, if lucky, we will live the next twenty years with the school. Then we build a family and spend most of the time for e c a living. Finally, old age, poor health. Sick enough stuff to make us worry, pain and expectations. We can no more money and wealth. Death will wait us out the door and our lives will end. Our body will disintegrate into dust and the name disappeared from our memories of the world. Only our mind transference through the realms of existence, unless we achieve liberation or rebirth in a pure land, where we will never spiritually degenerate and will see winners complete drainage.

Besides these difficulties, people still suffer pain during four life: suffering because they must get what I do not want, suffering the loss of something you love, suffer not get what you want one, and suffering because they must see what I hate. Unique way to get rid of this suffering is to make the following three things:

- Identify the nature of bad, bad feelings and his bad behavior.

- Transformation from bad to good.

- Developed from good to perfect.

Ambition can be a virtue. Western psychology in particular promote " I can do ", but we need to know the ambition to use wisely. If the marathon but want to target just can not win races without going through more than forty two kilometers. So when targeted at the highest reward ie Buddhahood, we need to go from the first step, it is know that you are in any position. We need to realize that their lives are more evil and much suffering. Then we must have an emergency to free himself from prison by his own creation. We need to transform from bad to good by virtue of building the peace, compassion and right view. Finally, we have to achieve perfection and escape the bondage of fear of suffering and want happiness by freeing ourselves from the root of suffering.

Buddhism has a self-liberation from the root of suffering through the practice each step until you reach a state of perfect enlightenment. Thus Buddhism advocates of openness, a border point of no two opinions pessimism and optimism. Reviews Nagarjuna said: " For realizing emptiness, it's all possible . "

Great potential of human life:

Many people have a gentle nature, happy and wise. Only their presence can bring bliss for everyone around. All we can awaken such qualities in mind, as long as we intend and try to achieve this. Each of us has the true nature of enlightenment. These qualities are our true happiness and wisdom. The bad feelings and words are unhealthy affliction, a type of pollution, not the true nature of us.

That's why Buddhism teaches that life is so precious, we can use to develop the impermanence of his life, we can use the law of karma to die peacefully and happy rebirth, and all of us can reach enlightenment, because this is the realization of his own true nature. We can reach peace and wisdom not only for this life but also for the next life, and not only for himself but also for countless others.

If we build with peace, with right understanding and reinforce good habits in mind, the mind will transform this peaceful life and our temperaments. The unfortunate situation m a n will be less impact on us, peace and strength to win th ế . But without taking advantage of my life right now, the future we will fall into confusion, fear and pain.

To achieve this goal, we must follow the path. The path can be any road that leads to peace of mind, eliminating the attachment, purification disturbing emotions, words and improve our behavior. This is a unique way to turn the bad into good deeds, merit and intellectual enlightenment.

Direction of the road we can have some or all of the following practices:

- Meditation and breathing the breath of every moment to make the mind calm and awakens wisdom.

- Causing up thoughts and feelings of compassion for others and to practice compassion by serving the needs of others in a selfless way.

- Religious worship a divine presence open our minds an infinite, eliminating all of our afflictions.

- Are aware of th he and transform all objects into the source of mind benefits.

- Contemplation of mind equal to the subject and object.

- Fixed g a ng see and feel what is happening is not real life, like m peppers dream because our minds tend to build up and strengthen.

The last item on a particular aspect of Tibetan dream yoga is used in legal and other meditation techniques. The mental life is to help eliminate the vision and desire to hang this life. Then when death and after death experiences come to us, we will see our virtual fake, like dreams, and will be able to deal with them easily.

In my sleep when people realize that they are dreams and what is happening just a dream. There are ways to have th training stasis c as such, a technique known as conscious dream. We can learn how to "formula d é y "in their dreams and realize that they are dreaming, thus eliminating fear or threat and turn it into something good. Likewise, after death, when we are in the intermediate realm Bardo, if we can realize all that happened to me in realms that are only illusions, all the other scary experience there will be no more effective but also turned into good things.

The teacher taught that if legal practice dream yoga, we will be able to recognize the state after death (the true nature and the bardo state, ie the transition period) the right of our true nature, it is illusory virtual. Plus, if you can realize dreams are just dreams seven times, we will be able to recognize the bardo realms. There are those who say that more variable than the bardo experience romantic experience.

According Tsele masters, our thoughts are the most important thing while practicing how to deal with the dream and bardo realms. We should make a habit to remind ourselves that all that or do that are a dream or bardo realms. If a deep contemplation of this truth, we certainly succeeded in dealing with bardo realms after death.

To be successful in training for his death and after death, Mahayana Buddhism teaches us first try to find a teacher wise, trustworthy. Then we must study the teachings of the teacher. We should find out what skills they have learned and the wisdom of experience with meditation teachings. We have to expand your mind towards others, to sympathize with them like with your mother. We should treat beings with equal attitude, kindness and fun. We should practice six perfectly happy: generosity, morality, patience, effort, meditation and wisdom realizing the true nature. Jigme Lingpa following vow: " In my life I vow to practice, please teacher, learning to rely on wisdom, discernment and meditation, renunciation building, enlightened attitudes and behavior perfection six ".

Drogchen doctrines (General Finishing) teaches that need to know what to do after death, when we meet "the luminous emptiness" and "image clarity is naturally present" appears along with the true nature. To know what to do, we must meditate intensive security in this life. We must first understand the very nature of his mind, and to maintain and reinforce the understanding that by meditating on it. When the realization of his true nature, we will feel all that appears before me, even in their consciousness, in life or death are the presence and manifestation of the foot at that. So Longchen Rabjam wrote: "In life, right now at this moment, we have realized the wisdom of truth itself is a legal mind. Then meditate maintain natural resources in the state of clarity. Then all the will appear as the intellectual naturally present . "

We have great opportunity in this life, if we follow the path and achieve realization of their true nature and that is Buddhahood.

We also have good opportunities to transfer your consciousness to a pure land if we worship the Buddha as the Buddha of Boundless Light and Dewachen. Do Phowa practice law, ie transference of consciousness, we can be reborn in the pure land directly, no need to go through the different stages of the dying process. A practitioner can also Phowa solution for us, when we were living, dying or in the bardo realms.

If you have not reached high achievement, no matter how much merit accumulated, we will go through the death experience and this is a subject of the next chapter. END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY BACH LIEN HOA.( TAM THANH ).MHDT.29/4/2012.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
