ACTION BY THE FIRST.

---

　

This is the first product in the Privacy Rules Sutra, the Sixth Patriarch Ambassador His art the life strategies for the public hearing. "Action" is the only life being average of the Sixth Patriarch, "Do" is his only y on where to practice. "Measure" is the only source of his enlightenment where to start.

At Ambassador to Bao Lam Pagoda in Thieu Chau, Deputy use Vi Cu with the staff, dignitaries to take him into the mountains, the auditorium temple Dai Pham, as they open coast sermon. Posted Ambassador court and then, because of the use of the same members, dignitaries, more than thirty people, Grapes cardboard artists more than thirty people, and the monks, nuns, religion, customs, more than a thousand people, and holidays, please listen to the curriculum of Buddhist teaching.

Instructor:

Each business will need to complete six achievements: Tin achievements, Van achievements The achievements, the achievements, the general trend achievements and accomplishments. When Chief Justice declared to have full six types achievements. French Assembly Nhut have them, Monday through lack of European Cu and their members, nuns map that matches this condition. Bao Lam Mountain is where the sermon, so full Parish achievements. The Sixth Patriarch was the French ambassador Professor and intensive treatment fully understand the economic means so assume the achievements. "Now," is accomplished. "At the same time celebrate," is Tin achievements. "Please listen to the curriculum of Buddhist teaching," Van achievements.

At that time, the old along with the of he in Bao Lam mountains invitation to invite Ambassador to propagate Buddhism.

Ambassador told us that: "The gods of knowledge! Bodhi pure essence of this ancient capital. Use only interest was directly touches a Buddha.

Knowledge gods! Listen legal measure of Hui Neng this. "

Instructor:

Ambassador told them:

-Do you Compassion knowledge! The hybrid nature responsibilities Bodhi pure enlightenment, which is being undying, any impurity profile, no raise any lower. Need to use this simple foot care candidly that a Buddha, not should use care delusions.

Subsequently term use His name, claiming to Hui Neng said:

-You the audience! Now I will tell you the process of how Hui Neng obtained the legal.

Serious capital of Hui Neng in the land Pham Duong, demoted and exiled for consular South at Tan Chau. Body unhappy, his father died young, and a lonely elderly mother, to move through Nanhai District. Poverty, bitterness hundred surface, right up to the mountain to cut firewood bear markets.

Instructor:

Hui Neng's father, national origin Pham Ocean, Hebei Province, later because of this incident, was demoted and exiled to Lingnan, Guangdong Province. Because of the fathers to the children education very seriously, should be honored as "serious side," the mother often used to worry for their children love so honored "form."

"Hue" means the use of French favored giving beings; "Power" means the power of the Buddha. Their Sixth Patriarch Lu, father of the Sixth Patriarch was demoted to Lingnan - Tang is a desolate frontier lands. His father was doing, because criminal exiled to Lingnan land. Hui Neng life very unhappy, his father died when he was three or four years old, leaving young children and widow. So the widow and orphan had to moved to Nanhai District, taste, smell enough life bitter hardship. To live, Hui Neng had to to the mountains to cut firewood bear markets, with small amounts earn her daily rice farming and feed themselves.

There had been a buy firewood, told Hui Neng to bring to the store. Guests gather firewood, Hui Neng This head money, walked out the door, he saw a man chanting. Hui Neng heard through the, enlightened mind immediately.

Instructor:

Because of the poor, Sixth Patriarch did not go to school, so do not know the word. China then want to go to school to pay tuition. He did not know the word, but natural nature peak intelligent treatment, while listening to the texts of said: Ung numerous head, children of any mind immediately enlightened, and understand the far realms never understand. Currently a lot of people have heard: Ung numerous head, baby this period the mind , but can anyone enlighten? Some people say: "Oh! I have enlightened!"

I asked him, he declared the enlightenment? What treatment is not opening? You need to ask yourself.

New asking chanting?

Replied: "Doing Vajra."

Hui Neng asked: "Where to recite doing?"

That: "I'm from East Pagoda Thien, Hoang Mai district, States European origin. Chua's Pajamas The the Rings Ambassador Hoang chaired teaching there. Subjects of His mercy over a thousand people. I went to the temple worship lectures and business leaders. "

Instructor:

Five To stay at Dong Zen Temple, teaching map we have more than thousands of people. At that time the Chinese Buddhist flourishing, very enthusiastic, so there are thousands of people living in a mountain retreat Buddhism.

Currently (1969) the United States do more than thousands of people living together to practice the Dharma? Such a great country does not have, but did not know until after this there will be thousands of people together to practice the Dharma, this is also not sure. So need to see my student, the use of like. Most Americans are very smart, but there are a few smart people too much, so say "smart contrast should be deluded." Every day from early to night only drink drugged illusory (LSD), since only depend on medications, they can reach a few little strange realm. These people repeatedly try to use this potion, until discovered this drug is no longer effective. Then they think:

- I take medication for a long time, but I have not been enlightened.

Now they understand that taking drugs (LSD) is wrong, maybe they will turn around to find the truth. Should say: "Suffering two infinite, early short."

Now I teach you the Dhamma, the future you will teach that teach sentient beings, so should not be arbitrary, efforts should be diligently studied, should not fascinated wrong, so there will be plenty people that come here to study. You today to learn Sixth Patriarch Sutra , need to know where to learn. When someone asks you:

- Where did you learn Buddhism?

You can answer:

- We studied Buddhism at the Buddhist Lecture Hall of the Dharma Realm Buddhist Association.

This is the same as the meaning of the paragraph above.

"Ambassador advised the monks, who keep, if someone reciting Scripture Kim Cang immediately see nature, directly touches a Buddha. "

Hui Neng heard of it and, by goodness grace previous life, should be a guest to help Hui Neng ten of silver, to add to the health of the performance of the old model, and stepping through Hoang Mai District Five Parts.

Instructor:

You need to know "ambassador" here is only five team, not the Sixth Patriarch. Now hear more holy places which are now thousands of people together to practice the Dharma, he is excited he asked the guests:

-I now have to do? I wanted to go to that school law. When I heard him recite Kim Cang , I have understood the sense of Scripture should want to go to France but my parents do not care, how can I solve this?

Because Bodhisattva fame, so the Sixth Patriarch said to the great Bodhisattvas to help him this time. The text simply says: Since karmic past life, a silver gift Hui Neng ten. This really is a great offering, because He day cutting firewood gives you only a few dollars. Ie whether Hui Neng in the thousands on selling firewood saving money can not be more than the silver and the hotel courtesy.

Then he used the money to buy clothes and food, arrange peaceful accommodation for his mother. Perhaps this person told him that:

-He is poor but want to learn Buddhism. Now I will help you.

His guests for such a large amount of money to enable him to facilitate legal requirements. Merit of this great offerings, this certain future is a flesh Bodhisattva. Now here is probably also do so.

Someone asked:

-I can do what merit?

If you do not mind, it does not matter, do not have such delusions.

Cheap appeal urging him:

-He has such great faith, while listening to the texts of instant enlightenment, understood sense. So hurry up! Please immediately go to Hoang Mai cult Five Parts, this is definitely for his benefit. Immediately on the way, do not delay!

Hui Neng care for aging finished form, immediately to go, not the full thirty days, Hoang Mai district, to celebrate the Great Fatherland.

Patriarchs asked: "Who are you people who want to work for?"

Hui Neng said: "D is gradually Tan Chau Made Consul Male, in the distance to this bill, only to become a Buddha, for did not need anything else!"

He said: - "The Consul was the origin of Vietnam, is the same man cell, how the Buddha!"

Hui Neng said: "Man has its North and South, but the Buddha nature which is not South. Barbarian The body, along with the Master but not the same, nor any other Buddha nature!"

Five organizations want to talk anymore, but that the disciples standing on two fins to the left, should make Hui Neng they work.

Hui Neng said: "Dear White Master, self care practitioners often born of wisdom, not depart nature, ie the field of merit, not even the Master also teach work?"

Patriarchs that: "the nature of who this barbarian damage agile. Thou shalt not speak again, let's go home."

Hui Neng to the house after, a layman wrong Hue feature wood hammer pounding rice.

Over eight months of balance, one day, Patriarch is that this Hui Neng, He said: "I think the knowledge of the user, but fear of wicked men, so not talking to you, you have know? "

Hui Neng said: "disciple also understand that the Sun, should not come up at home, so that others do not know."

Instructor:

Hui Neng immediately returned home, arrange peace to her life complete, And He retired from her leave. Not more than thirty days he has not put Zen Mountain Song Room. Along the way, he does not start up any delusion, just a straight line, so there is no or do not know to Hoang Mai, then to worship the Great Fatherland. At that time, the Sixth Patriarch Ambassador twenty-four years old.

Five questions: The

-You come from, come here to pray with?

-D from Tan Chau Lingnan here, I do not request anything, just as the Buddha (enlightened). Other things are not important.

-You the Lingnan, back to the barbarian savages, how can the Buddha be?

"Cut" is a small animal with a very short nose, almost like the kind of dog. "He" civilizing the barbarians have not. He is just cutting the moral unknown, undiscovered, who belongs to the species of animal.

Sixth Patriarch immediately replied that:

-While there are differences in the South the North, but the Buddha nature permanent, eternal, not distinguish North and South, but the old sand body and the body of the Master not the same, but the Buddha nature is nothing wrong!

At that time, they led by five organizations gathered beside so Five To stop stop talking. He only briefly told Hui Neng:

-Well, you have come here, then hurriedly working in public!

Hui Neng white with five organizations that:

-The self-interest is often born of wisdom, wisdom born of this nature does not leave nature that is being filled out. I did not know what the Master wanted me to do the job?

(The report filling is just the kind of faith planted in plots Buddhism Monk Tam. Again coffee monks sa, sewing the pieces pieces, symbolizes being filled. If reverent offerings to the Three Jewels, ie where the original planting merit, then achievement that the results report).

Five To listen to Hui Neng said, then said:

Barbarian-Ke is the nature very alert.

(The: just hearing ability [to hear], credit, entertainment, life, one's dharma. Apartments nature being the difference between truth, Process, and China).

Five The warning Hui Neng need to be careful not to say anymore. He said:

-You do not say much, behind the hospital do the results.

In post-hospital people often called told me to do this and that. Each time in a new situation, often bullied by others. The disciple is not ordained so he is not polite what lord Hui Neng:

-He every day to cut wood for firewood cooking, it is the ax, to cut things dry wood brought. Again, every day he needed to pounding rice (the rice left to use the foot pedal rice mortar).

Just like that spent more than eight months. One day the five team saw Hui Neng threshing, said to Hui Neng:

-I think the wisdom and insights of the people have a place, but worried people jealous that started about two people, so that does not talk much with you. You have to understand the suffering of the mind?

-I understand, so I do not dare go to speak with the Master-line, to avoid other people pay attention to the child's behavior as well as the attention and compassion of Teacher for children.

One day, the five disciples gathered up newspaper that says: "I said to the disciples clear: Life exploitation of the world is big. Ye full day is blessed to enter, do not demand from sea ​​struggling waterfall. If your identity confusion, blessed saved! "

Instructor:

One day five The ambassador meeting all map them back and tell them that:

-The most important of life is birth and death, no matter what he has experienced the glory of such wealth might be, can not avoid death. He needs to know how life is worth living and dying call how the call is worthy of death. If you do not understand birth and death, then life can be said is that confusion, confusion that goes. He is religious people, every day only for blessings of natural without knowing the age of wisdom, do not think measures to escape samsara, keep on spinning within the ocean of birth and death. If the character's confusion only for blessings, how can he save his own birth and death issue?

There is a saying:

"Practicing not tu blessing,

Arhat holding bowl.

Blessed not from wisdom,

Elephant wearing his touch. "

Body makeup elephant with his treasure lost and confused nature, spiritual blessings, not save them.

You go back and forth, each person to examine his wisdom, take nature Prajnaparamita of Bon mind that makes a poem, bring us to watch. If you understand the general meaning, we will travel health measures for the sixth group. Go quickly, without delay. If for heart failure measurements, would not help. Ordinary people see nature, when heard measures must be seen immediately. If you are like, Huoi executioner oil between games is also that nature. "

Instructor:

Of his people to observe the true wisdom of their own, have your own mind to find be Prajnaparamita nature, ie the true wisdom. Each do a verse procedure gives us to see ( Shelf is Sanskrit-gatha), service parts, parts of four letters four lines or five, six, seven, eight letters only). If you understand the general meaning of genuine wisdom, we will pass the robe and bowl and passed measures to make Patriarch Friday. He needs to quickly bring this shelf we can take, without delay. If heart failure is used to make the distinction amount, where it is not useful, because people see the Buddha nature was proving mental states its nature, listen to immediately understand. You if you are new so there is room, the same as Huoi sword between three tour, also can immediately see nature. Paths of the same thing.

When the disciples were commanded then, and back and forth, in turn ask each other, saying: "We should not slang eight shelves to mind are for the Master, because useful details! Venerable Spirit himself as he teachers, sure do. shelf We do not waste of mind power. "

Great we heard reassuring, insurance from going after will rely Master Spirit from, to what to do next for the inconvenience.

Instructor:

Great them after hearing the five Group advised taught, went back to the bureaucracy of each room, and said to one another:

-We do not need to knead the clay to mind thoughts shelves, as this will be all vain.

I believe that those who say this is aligned with the self, or perhaps a student, fraternal, or people with kidney from, prepare appeal stems from the sixth group.

-Also we do not have much education, though the shelf is not selected, the Venerable Spirit from just inferior to Master the field a bit, he is our life Catholic monks, chanting preach to us hear, educated him wide, high ethics, certain will be team, we even wear and care free power to the shelf, the verse is not anything, just a waste of mind power alone.

Others heard so have to let go of the idea to the shelf. If people are afraid that someone will win the Patriarch of Venerable Shen Tu.

We listen to our map of Spirit's delegate said that, Ben said to each other that:

-We then rely on him self to have enough food and clothing, shelter, and asked him to teach practice - medical Him. What we need to do the shelf for trouble?

Master Shen Xiu thought: "The person is not the shelves is because respect is the teacher, mentor them. Shelf I have to bring to the Master. If not, where the Master knew interpretations of shallow depth How? Bon own will the legal shelf that is good, also aimed at the throne To bad, like who would won the sacrilege else anything! By no shelves ultimately it is not legal. Damages the very hard, very hard! "

Instructor:

At that time, Han thought:

-All the reason not to do the shelves, their life is because we are Catholic, right we need to do the shelf, they are so polite that yield previous shelf!

Han also said no one contested the throne the Patriarchs with me, so even though the shelf or bad no one was fighting.

-I need to make a poem dedicated to the Master. If we do not do shelf, how does the Master know the insights of our deep or shallow to Buddhism, how do you know we have wisdom? If we use the shelf because of legal requirements where five team, it is good. But if you want do sixth Patriarchs life, thought this is not true. If wanting to do The Master that makes the shelf, this is like the psychology of ordinary people continue death, like holy war won, what's the difference? But if we do not do shelf, what to do? I finally will not be obtained, the five organizations will not transmit life for us, because he has such a statement, given to the new shelves can obtain legal. Oh, this is awkward for me too!

Resources before bureaucratic Five Organization has three time the corridor, he is invited to the Palace of Phoenix Lu Tran drawing variables minister in Lankavatara Sutra (Lankavatara of variables Minister) and mapping of the annual communication of the Patriarchs (Five group arteries map) to pass on to the next life offerings.

Instructor:

At that time everyone was no greed, no longer want to do the Patriarch, but want to give to the Spirit, but the Spirit from the shelf do not know how, so he said: "It's hard too! Hard too!"

Where money Cereal bowl in the line, there are three time corridor, five organizations which would like to invite the Palace of Phoenix is the flood drew deformed Shurangama Price , and blood vessels of the Patriarchs on the wall at this place. Five group to draw pictures to pass on to the afterlife admire offerings.

Supply Phoenix is ​​a function of the time, no matter who has any kind of skills and a knack for what, can work on the palace. Name of the flood is, is a place. He said painting, and his painting is art, so he assumed the office was also serving time.

Lankavatara word Lankavatara in Scripture , is the name of a mountain in Sri Lanka, that is impossible, currently , can not go to, because this at the top of the mountain Ma-La (Malaya) in Nanhai, people do not have mental can not go to this place. So Buddha Shakyamuni at the sermon here, was mystically fly to the top of the mountain, preaching to people with psychic hearing. "Variable Minister" is the magical transformation inconceivable. Pajamas The lifeblood ie Bodhidharma to Ngu Hoang Rings Ambassador, followed by non-stop like a painting map circulation in the body people.

Spirit from the finished shelves a few times to bring, but each time before The bureaucracy, in the heart of panic, sweating out his wet, do not think the shelf. Then spent four days, thirteen phen that shelf there.

Instructor:

At the time of Shen Tu students no longer participate as team, but it does give me charcoal want to group, always want to do the Patriarch died Friday. Shen Tu capital think want to Patriarch's not true, but can not stop thinking about the Patriarchs.

Shelves are done, many times to bring the Master. But every time we go to the front of the Five group, in the heart of panic and anxiety seem to be going crazy, thought:

-I have to do now? Shelves do not here?

So mind panic, no clear perception seemed right seems wrong, worried the whole body sweating, wanted but did not dare. This is like hitting a gamble, if lost, can not do Patriarchs. So on that go back and forth for four days. This is the mental agony, thus Patriarch is not easy. Four days long post, Gods words do not have hours to sleep all day and not stand sitting still, sleeping, loss of appetite, anxiety thinking about how you can qualify for through the gate as Patriarchs.

Spirit from before bureaucracy Furniture Five to ten three times, but still did not dare shelves. Unlike now I give you the exam, you are done immediately pay all, because there is no such pretext so important. If passed that would make Team, I think your hand is trembling writing is not the answer.

New kidneys from marginal in verse thoughts on the corridor wall, if suddenly the Master saw that praise, the Lord He said that verse is self-made. He can not use the device in vain poem was in the mountains a few years, the worship life of the people, so also spiritual director what to do?

That night the third watch, come from no one knows, himself holding the lights, write a poem on the wall of the southern corridor, clearly shows his heart.

Instructor:

Then Ambassador Shen Tu calmed down, he thought to himself: "Do not be impatient, should have little force. Expenses by writing shelf on the wall in the hallway, to the five team to watch. If He commended verse or, I will come out to worship the Master, said this verse by himself. If Five The critics say the verse do not or can not be used, then vain in the ridge many years, life reverent worship. So we really do not have a bit of virtue! "

At the third watch, that about twelve o'clock at night, Shen Tu handle small wax lights, because if the lights on so others can see, secretly went to the southern corridor to write his poem on the wall, writing path which his mind possessed.

Shelf says:

Bodhi Body urban life,

Center such as the one police station,

The time needed waving,

Tran objects using one.

Shelves that:

My Bodhi tree was

Mind as a good example ..

Always need to clean ourselves off,

Do not be so mote.

Shen Tu copy the verse and then, went back to the room, no one would know. Han thought: "If tomorrow Five To see verse glad, that is, we have an affinity with law. Bang You say can not be used, by deluded minds, past life karma is heavy, so I would not keep up time efficient method. Ouch! Scripture that it's hard! "

In the room, Shen Tu kept worrying, sitting to watch the years are not alone.

Instructor:

Shen Tu transcribe the poem immediately to quickly return to your room, do not let anyone know. Stems from the thought:

-Tomorrow Five To see all the shelves, if He is happy that is wonderful that we have an affinity with the mind of the Buddha, such as Patriarch network. If the five organizations said no verse or that you are not enlightened, past life karma is too heavy and makes it impossible to obtain the true Dhamma mind set. Oh! realm of Five The truth is inconceivable, can not measure the quarter and the center of his will a!

Because of uncertainty stems from still anxious in combination, in the bureaucracy of the room, sitting nor rest, standing nor peace, like that endured until the morning.

Sleep knowing the identifications from the door, not seen nature.

Morning, Five factors with Lu and Phoenix, police guard the said minister and the mapping where the south corridor wall. Bong see that verse, he said: "This the Palace of Phoenix, just do not need to draw. Damages his hard work in the distance here. Scripture says: 'Every character appearances are false.' So let's poem to recite. Every y in that verse that practice, from the fall into the evil. Medicine verses that that practice, it has great benefits. "

Five To teach the disciples incense feast, sure all recite her poem, seeing nature. The disciples never told all praise: "Or instead!"

Instructor:

Five To Ambassador early renal know not to enlightenment, not has the willow truly realize the essence.

At dawn, Ngu Phung To invite the Palace they Lu to the south corridor to draw variables Minister of the Shurangama Aging and arterial Five To map, suddenly see all the shelves on the wall, five team said to Provide the Phoenix that:

-You do not need to paint again, save this verse there is a very good thing inconceivable, to disturb him from afar without drawing. Economic Kim Cang said: "All that necessarily tangible property minister, the delusion is not true. now save this verse, people recite over. If life can y in this verse that practice, it can be from the fall three woeful states, y according to the principle of all shelves this practice can be of great benefit. "

And he taught all subjects commissioned disciples incense and recite this verse. He told our map:

-He can rely on this verse that practice, it can be expected nature.

Public health according to the teachings of the Five To reverently recite. Everyone unanimously praised that:

-Or instead! Or instead!

By the third watch, Five The call came from in Furniture, asked: "Last shelves should you do?"

Han said: "It is done, but not even the disciples dared to hope for the team, just hope the Master of compassion see if students have any wisdom?"

Five Patriarch said: "You do verse was, proved not seen Bon nature. Newcomers doorstep, not into the house.'s Like that understand that finding the Supreme Bodhi, after all can not be achieved . Supreme Bodhi is everyone just heard, and he said his bathtub and see nature, know that Bon nature not bear not kill. identify four mind, there is always the concept notion, that all things are text , not stagnant. A legal, that grips feet Minister, then all solutions also grips Minister feet. Want scenes are derived from the realm of "real", so that you want to landscape itself as as . their mind, too, such as real estate. Tam as new as it is the Truth. Seeing such, is the essence of the Supreme Bodhi.

Instructor:

Spirit from third watch wrote verses each, Five To also third watch call from the bureaucracy room to ask:

-Verse to his work?

Shen Tu respectfully answered:

-White Master, do you do, do not you dare delusion involved of Sixth Patriarch throne, respectfully compassionate Master, see you have a little wisdom?

Sleep told identifications from that:

-Last shelf you do not see legs like nature, he is still standing at the door! His insights to practice to achieve Bodhi Supreme is something difficult.

The called Bodhi Supreme , meaning that our words need to get to get the attention of yourself, have shown interest ant nature. Need to know the eternal nature unborn, at any time want the law are very afraid, do not have a place of stagnation. If one thing has legs, everything, want to have reached the realm of scenes such as real estate. Center such as real estate that is true. If he can place such interpretations, is the character Supreme Bodhi.

You go back and forth, thinking a couple of days, and then another verse gives us to see. If the verse of people in your party, we will pass health measures. "

Shen Tu bowed back. Over the last few days, Shen Tu shelves not finished, in the heart of panic, the god of pay-back appears in a dream, walking outside not still fun.

Instructor:

Five The General revelation to Spirit from Bodhi clear from the nature, can not take care of the coast, the delusion that inquiry. So He said to come from that:

-He thought for a couple of days, and then do a verse that has brought here for us to see. Who he's doing, if you care for nature, attain be exact representation, enlightenment reviews the nature of the, in the Dharma door, not outside, I will bring health bowls passed on to him.

Spirit from prostrate Five elements and retreat. Over many days, and still do not, at this time in our anxiety panic, mental illness is not like living in a dream, walking outside are not alone.

You see, the desire to do great Patriarchs of self, for the first test is not a bean, which itself can not do another verse, it is full of disappointment.

Two days a pupil to go across the room price of rice, to read her poem. Hui Neng heard too, that verse did not see the character. But do not sleep To teach, had earlier said the substance, the new board from that: "Proceedings verse?"

Pupil said: "The barbarians did not know at all. Ambassador said the exploitation of the earth is a big deal. Because they want to transmit the robe and bowl, so he taught his disciples, each do a verse to bring the for him to see. If one understands the substance, he shall transmit the robe and bowl for, are nesting Friday. Venerable Shen Tu record a verse drama in the south corridor wall. Ambassador taught everyone to be served. If y on the shelf was the practice, from the fall into the evil. Medicine verses that that practice, it has great benefits. "

Instructor:

Over the next few days, have a pupil walked through the rice pounding of Hue Power, walked proceedings:

Bodhi-Body Life, Psychology as intelligent scene, waving the time required, materials used bare one.

Note this pupil why reciting verses? Because I want to realize, do not fall lost into three woeful states, the want comments emptiness.

Hui Neng heard the verse, and he said this verse have seen the character his own. But who has not been taught, but he was soon to understand the general meaning. So he asked to note that pupils:

Shelf-but be mindful of what is the shelf?

Verb meet:

-The barbarians, he did not know Five The Ambassador had been taught that birth and death is a big deal in my life. The predicate to his traditional robe and bowl to his disciples, so that all the disciples showed his shelf. If any verse achieve enlightenment, attaining only proving its nature, he will be passed on the robe and bowl for this Patriarch died Friday. Now the Spirit from life writes a verse drama on the south corridor wall, Five The Ambassador teach everyone to recite. He is the barbarian no virtue, it happened a long time ago but so far he does not know? He is so useless, just that do heavy work such as pounding rice only. Good chance that, should not be ignored, now I taught him, led him to also be enlightened to the nature, the following medical practice, the next life will no longer suffering as such, do not need to do the pounding rice. If you recite this verse, the next life will not buffalo horse, fall lost in animal ghosts hell. Can also make the lowest wealth wealth, will be of great benefit.

Center of the pupil is also good too!

Hui Neng said: "I would like to recite verses, for the multiplication coast on life. Often multiplication, here I am pounding rice in eight months, but had never before The road, forward upper goodness me to first verse of worship. "

Verb leads us into the first verse that worship. We say: "Hui Neng not know the word, the please upper multiplication fears reader." Then have a price in their Giang Chau Cheung Japanese name, voice read aloud.

Hui Neng heard, Ben said: "I also have a verse, would grace thereof Price Copy fears."

Special Price said: "You know the shelf again? This is rare!"

Instructor:

From said:

-He noted Listen, I will teach you " My life Bodhi marketing " - remember? " Heart as intelligent police station, " keep in mind please do not forget it. " real time needed waving, a bare one, " need to remember explicitly touch that home!

Sixth Patriarch Ambassador heard so kind to his pupils then said:

Traders! (Traders is a vocative, home person claiming to call the master trader, referring teacher is on order) I in the price of rice has more than eight months ago, has not been to the hallway in front, sometimes traders leads me to the first verse to kowtow to worship?

E same thought: "We should also a little Bodhisattva direct that help this barbarian who" went to the Sixth Patriarch came to worship:

-Worship! Holidays as much as possible, bang his head bowed to the ground the more merit.

From one side, then the other hand, they also have little joke fun.

Hui Neng said:

-Damage is hard to Hui Neng me! I lost the map useless, a term not know, respectfully upper read to me.

At that time a layman to know the price in Giang Chau, Cheung Nhut name, Then read the verse aloud.

Hui Neng heard said:

-I also have a verse, Pricing helping me write on the wall.

He Pricing eyes were open, with a bit of disdain look Hui Neng, then said:

-He a word also can not know how to do the shelf? This is so rare!

Hui Neng this look Special Price that says: "Want to learn direct Supreme Bodhi, such commodity so despised. Someone lower wisdom that often arise very high, above which usually buried the location of yourself. If despise, would guilty boundless. "

Ranger said: "Be thou soaking shelves go, we copy behalf. If you obtained the law, they must do before. 'Do not forget!"

Hui Neng which soak shelves that:

Capital Bodhi tree,

Examples of such stations.

Traditionally not an object,

Bare spot any problems?

Verse was written and, altogether map them are terrified, no one without the broth. People call each other to say: "is instead! There are at in the face. Why so long we can dictate Bodhisattva flesh it!"

Instructor:

Sixth Patriarch who did not want his side, but if not there is no one to help, so he said:

-He wanted to learn to direct Supreme Bodhi, should not look down on people new to Buddhism. Often the most foolish people have outstanding wisdom.

So say: "great wisdom disadvantages stupid" - the wisdom of like the ignorant, ask what do not know, like I asked my disciples, they did not know, this is the study mental the location disadvantages stupid. Time before they all say: "I know everything." I once had a man say the same thing, I asked: "how can you know everything? Now I asked him: 'He each meal, how much to eat rice? Did you know?' "He said:" I do not have to count. " I said: "Not counting that is not known."

Hui Neng went on to say:

-Those at the bottom to do the hard work, wisdom also like people to greatness. Conversely the greatness, sometimes also eroded wisdom. What called eroded wisdom? That is the desire to make ignorant mind. If you look down, they will create their own boundless sin, he understand?

-Okay, okay! He was right. He read his poem, I will help you write, do not talk long. But I told him, when he obtained the law, it is necessary to me before, because I helped him write the shelves, if I help him, no one knows where his verse. Do not forget my words!

Hui Neng's poem:

Bodhi responsibility very life:

Bodhi is the sense of direction and how that tree? If the Bodhi tree, turned into objects, which can seat attachment. Bodhi exact capital gains nothing. You said you were enlightened, so enlightened shape? Blue, yellow, red, white? You try to tell the shape of it, it is invisible formless?

Intelligent scene Yifei stations:

You say the mind as a good example, in fact do not have any mirror, if any mirror, seat attachments, called Application countless children's head of public mind , how that mirror?

Bon hybrid very faint objects:

Bon hybrid which is not anything, no shape, no one type of paint, or some other form.

Tran Ha parish who

: What has no, dust (Who ceiling) from where born? The origin is infinite basis ï stay .

This poem is mainly derived from the "Application countless head baby born public interest," if there is no attachment, also is the Buddha said: "Nhut beings are the Tathagata wisdom faith minister, just because expectations ideal attachment that can not be realized. " In this teaching should not be attached. You attached it to do something? You attached it, the future is life that does not die? By the time of death, you may be attached to something?

Verse copying is done, all the monks, lay in the temple were amazed, no one without praise. People said to each other that: "Strangely! He also know the shelf, it is not possible to see the general external appearance to judge, but his contempt for the barbarians. He came here not long, should not be denied he is the a Bodhisattva flesh? "

Maybe then next Arhat, deliberately telling people, remind people look for clear the Bodhisattva flesh, it is a reason. Another reason is that people bring this to satirical ridicule, because do not know his verse is true or not.

Now everyone such a stir, Five The Ambassador from bureaucratic steps, asks:

-What did he do that too noisy?

We reply:

-Bach Master, who savages pounding rice which is also known as shelf!

Five organizations show them mercy amazed and marveled, e who want to harm him get new shoes clear the verse that says: "It is not that nature." Because they are supposed to.

Instructor:

Five To see amazing mass, afraid that the assassination of Hui Neng. Due to this statement, we can know the situation of the struggle such a terrible time. That party of Shen Tu holding all the power, if not so, the five issue of how people want to kill Hui Neng?

Five went to gather his shoe cleaning verse and said:

-This is not the expected nature, the meaning of the verse is not true.

You listen to this, people think: "Five To which language expectations? His first verse tells people recite this verse road will not fall into the three evil paths, can achieve great benefits, its nature, but in fact recite this verse does not have great benefits, also can not fall touch plate. Fatherland After Five said, standing charcoal admit this is the verse I do. Hui Neng's verse is verse biased nature, but contrary Five To tell people not expected nature. This is not expected language? "

In fact, this is known as media law, is a legal right, not the expectation is spoken. Because he wanted to protect Hui Neng, making Buddhism legends and long-term conservation, do not want to harm the Sixth Patriarch, so said such legal means.

Great we heard five team not expected nature, and he believes there is no doubt, because people do not know the verse is true. Other verses say Bodhi useful life. verse says Bodhi of life. Bai shelf the other said Minh City police station. This shelf that hypertrophic Minh scene. It is not agreed, no one understand this problem be. Because no one has enlightened, so for verse enlightened not be aware of. Like the PhD thesis, the need to have the new Ph.D. can examine and approve, who holds a Master can not be aware of. Enlightened enlightenment and not the same thing.

Day fools aloud to pounding rice, that this Hui Neng brought rock back where pounding rice. He said: "The demand direct, because his legal forget, and must be like the stars!"

Instructor:

The next day, five personal when people do not notice, up to the room price of rice, see Hui Neng back wearing rock, heavy pounding rice, said to Hui Neng that:

-The direction, because the law did not regret my life huh!

Sixth Patriarch as legal, back wearing heavy rock pounding rice for all users. This is called the Bodhisattva, this is because people forget. Hui Neng not think: "Why should I leave for others to eat rice? Why do not they do, from morning to night, but sleep is sit in meditation, we here pounding rice but it was miserable, do not bother more. " Conversely, Hui Neng think: "They have nothing to do." As a disciple of my busy to have time to eat, I was very happy to disciple, but not everyone can do so.

Need to because his legal forget, not afraid of hardship - Sixth Patriarch Ambassador did not know how many days people do not call him a meal that he did not notice this, so health is increasingly weak. Back of a heavy stone columns, making the body a little heavy to be able to use his feet pounding rice without much effort. Why do you have to use rocks to help his pounding rice? Perhaps because for many days without eating, so strength is not enough. I guess so, you should not say that certain attachments like this, or like that. It is best not attached to a problem at all.

Five new team asked: "White Rice?"

Hui Neng said: "White rice has long, the only thing missing was ready."

Instructor:

Then this is a very important segment of the ethnic Sutra . Five respondents Hui Neng: The "cooked rice?" mind said he retired white rice? Another implication is the wife of his achievements? He has not yet? Why Fatherland Five questions "rice?" Since rice is the seed each round round, like the nature pearl Manila. Italian Fatherland Five questions: Self-round nature was full? His own mind was lucid? Was perfection itself?

Again, the new water to cook rice into rice called nine, referring to his practice successful? He here pounding rice meditation, elaborate meditation like? There are a lot of sense. Sixth Patriarch Ambassador understands the mind of the Five for people who have experienced it know the words of someone who has gone through.

Sixth Patriarch Ambassador said:

-The Lady of the achievements has been a long time, the only thing missing was ready (expected or private and whether or not excluded).

To get thin pancake three times, and left.

Hui Neng is understood the Patriarchs, to the next three consecutive losses.

Instructor:

Five team used stick type blender three hours, then leave. Sticks are objects to be used in the road at the old monk. Venerable Master Hsu Yun said a verse on his stick as follows: "the most efficient form of long, semi-Bissau arms sales chaos. " This rattan rope ("behind" is the string cloud, its hardware can break), like the shape of the dragon, because the state of the it curved so said "Dragon." "Sell selling arms chaos chaos" means stick to knock the wind, rain type, type of nowhere.

Hui Neng understands of the Five to his third watch tonight on the defensive team. Type in the blender three non-verbal language is saying. Like the hall ran home, type two gong is a pilgrimage, to remind you awake; typing a reputation for being calm; knock three hours is the first dialog prompts you favor, your own efforts.

Why Five To handle sticks to the back, placing his hand back and go away? Italy is called the Sixth Patriarch the bureaucratic defense team by the back door, not to let others see. If so how do in Hui Neng understand that Christ? This is the moral center of attention similar publications.

Wait until the third watch, the Sixth Patriarch on bureaucratic Cereals, Cereal Bowl asks:

-You came here to do?

-Today Patriarch asked the third watch here!

-Really? I called him the third watch? Why I do not remember that! Why did you come here through the back door? Why not go through the front door?

-Bach Master, that the Master would like to come through the back door.

Five team heard laughing said:

-He really is good, understood my intention.

If you ask why I know this, I'm going to ask you why you did not know this.

Five To take coffee sa hooded both him and me, not for anyone to see, and said, The Vajra for me, to question "Ung numerous head baby born public interest." Should not head to the place where his consciousness.

Instructor:

Five To see the Sixth Patriarch entered, lest others see or hear, and he closed the door. But the door is not glass which is used paper, so sleep To get laid hooded both Kinh and teaching Vajrayana Sixth Patriarch heard. Unlike now I teaching you listen openly. Five group preach Scripture Vajra and indestructible body of Vajrayana practice. At the Sixth Patriarch heard the phrase " Application countless head baby born public interest, " should not be based on the place where his consciousness but of course great awakening, to know all things are not leaving nature.

Sixth Patriarch Ambassador said the only thing missing was ready, said that although he knew how to use, but disturbing comments from not completely eradicate. Again, although his wife has reached the realm of pure fire oven blue (has reached the realm of large deep), reached a high point at its peak, but not Good eyesight knowledge proof, sealed . Five to listen to the Sixth Patriarch missing to make ready, came sealed elaborately prepared for the Sixth Patriarch.

Since then I have radar, should have recorded the conversation between the five organizations and the Sixth Patriarch (this is the recorder of the Tang Dynasty, not the current record). The dialogue is as follows:

Five questions: The

-Do you want to become a Buddha?

-White Master, I'd love to become a Buddha, I do not want to do anything else, just wanted to become a Buddha only.

-He wants to become a Buddha, first need to get rid of ignorance, ignorance is the focal point to the negativity is from, he would like the negativity comments from, first to get rid of ignorance. Ignorance is something arises, they did not understand the unknown. Like the birth and death of the affair is born, he wanted no affair, the first thing out of ignorance. Ignorance have shatter, comments or from or do not exist. Ignorance is the source of birth and death, like the willow ignorance of birth and death, is the Vajra say Ung numerous head baby born public interest. Countless head what? Countless erotic universe , except craving, willow can birth and death.

Sixth Patriarch heard active course of treatment, understanding the original face:

-Oh! it is so, this is very easy, there is nothing difficult at all!

Learning practice Buddhism, first need to be born without advance basis ï stay , should cling to nowhere, not head-on, in the spirit of brotherhood. If you head into erotic was ignorance, and also the birth and death. Not based on love, not based on love, not the head, not head into the air, which is the middle way. Do not leave, do not leave what does not, and is not looking out of love and desire, that erotic brought into genuine Prajna wisdom. This is the sense, if not love. Discipline and love is just a shift, should say: "At the beginning of the transfer area. Suffering boundless sea earlier brethren, "the sea, infinite suffering, turning terminals, also is so.

If you loose the craving, run affair, the increasingly deep, confusion increasing. If you turn your head, that is Nirvana, and also the shore. If you do not turn your head, the deep delusion more and more bold. Profoundly ignorant, but if you know his back, it is cut on the path. Compensation application is the sight that is the Buddha.

Some people may think: "I become a Buddha, then there is nothing to do, just sit there waiting for people to burn incense and worship, then what or where!"

-So how sentient beings! You with living beings, sentient beings to become Buddhas. Become a Buddha but no interesting meaning, but Buddha rid of negativity no longer anxious.

Yesterday talking about a demon, the demon does not want to do, it says:

Falling precious element of good collection,

Wild without defilement wild without priority.

Birth of complaints fell micronucleus past,

Only micropropagation crisis real originality.

Roughly translated:

I now make thousands of collection,

Brain Mind, do not worry, not sorrow.

Heaven and the other forced to work in people,

Being imperfect, just please do not.

Devils, less depression and anxiety, but the devil is negative and only emerging in the night, the Buddha of the ocean, like the light of the sun. Buddhist want to do evil or to do your own decision. If you want a devil, as every affair. But if you want to make the need to transmit a wealth of children's head of public mind.

Hui Neng this right words reach great awakening, said that a total of restitution law not from emptiness, white with Patriarch that:

Come to the pure nature of his own capital,

Do his nature which are not being killed,

Do the full nature of his own capital,

His reserved nature which do not move,

Come to their nature can born like legal!

Instructor:

Sixth Patriarch Ambassador lecture finished course of treatment. Treatment is completely transparent, understand wisdom Prajnaparamita, should know the mind of all things, the only things mental, Nhut set all things which is the essence basis.

So Hui Neng said to the five organizations that:

-Bach Master, I really did not expect that nature which is not clean, four hybrid purity.

Is pure to impure. This pure as we can, because we can not have any name can be replaced, so use the "pure" instead. Purity is not like before pollution after purification; purity of which is ancient (four hybrids) purity.

Hui Neng said:

-I really did not expect the nature of capital not being cleaned.

Since being approved before the new birth there is death, if no place of attachment, arising and passing away from where arises? Away again to go?

Hui Neng said:

-I really did not expect, the essence of capital is not a lack of balance, neither more nor less.

In the Buddhist no more, there being no decrease, but because they are not aware of his own birth, contrary to enlightenment, bare rolling in the labor dust, so treasure in the house did not know, out of find tops, the pursuit of material enjoyment, pursuit of pleasure, falsehoods, access bridges fake fake. It was too stupid to go, I now know the character which all full.

Hui Neng said:

-Necessary being crazy crazy island without power, but the essence of beings, all ranges, all are equal no difference.

Hui Neng said:

-I really do not doubt that, all things which nature was born. At first I did not think of, but have now realized the magic of this. It can not use language to describe this miracle!

The Master says I show enlightened deity nature, make Hui Neng that: "If you do not know Turkish, learning methods to no avail. By Tub and see the nature, ie called Chief, Buddha, Master of heaven and the realm people! "

Instructor:

Five To hear Ambassador Sixth Patriarch said, that the Sixth Patriarch were enlightened and aware of the original face, has said nose horizontal or vertical, have been known to take up arms, fingers forward or reverse. Yesterday I asked you, "Now hand finger down opposite direction, towards the upper hand fingers upon? Hay is hands down direction finger upon, towards upper hand fingers backwards?" No one knows this principle. Based duties none forward, the reverse. Sixth Patriarch Ambassador for these problems are clearly understood, the five The ambassador also said the Sixth Patriarch understood the problem so tell the Sixth Patriarch:

-If you are not aware of his own mind, learning useless law.

There is a saying that: "If people are aware of the mind, the site is not an inch of ground." If you realize the mind, land of this great earth were turned into gold seven treasure dignified. You say: "According to my notice, not so!" Of course, because you are not aware of the mind! Like the rose colored glasses, see things are pink, blue glasses and see things are blue. Because you are not aware of this mind, so see the great earth are the land. Because land in your mind - that is, thoughts illusion - too much. If no thoughts delusions, this world there is no dirt.

Check out to see what shaped his own mind? Look what the character is his color, black-and-white green gold round square or short term? Said to have a shape, for example, the obligation does not have a body at all. However, should be aware that it knows, if you do not realize it can not be said hammer.

If you are aware of own mind, from the character, it was macho, natural sphinx is also the Buddha. Now if we are aware of our own own mind, see the character, is Buddhist. As capital beings is Buddha, Buddha which are sentient beings, so we all have the opportunity to become a Buddha. If you are not aware of the own mind, not to see the character, they need to spend some time studying Buddhism more.

By the third watch, Hui Neng This life measures, no one or. Patriarchs transmission of DC teachers and medical bowl to me and says: "You are the sixth group life. Be smart self-concept households. Must advertising sentient beings, and transmitted the Dharma to life, not to break . hear my verse here:

The new seed,

Thanks to the left land of birth,

Not the same,

Nature at birth. "

Instructor:

At the third watch midnight, Five The amazing life communication Ambassador legal mind set for the Sixth Patriarch, in the heart do not know, in addition to non-or even spirits do not know. Five leaflets teaching medical subjects and bowls for the Sixth Patriarch and said:

-He now Patriarch died Friday.

Buddhist knowledge needed to make positive efforts, rightly practiced, not should learn first export meditation (meditation in the mouth), only learned lectures, sermons, say cleverly, the North Sea activity. Every edge that: no new prosthetic nor mean willow middle. Export meditation, a bit of a true lady does not have, or always wanted to, jealousy envy, obstacles do not achieve the title Patriarch life where Friday. Party Like map of Shen Tu, his flattery took him up high, for that I will do the Sixth Patriarch, so reserve the map to post confidante around news. If the Five to traditional medicine Ambassador turned for one instant kill him. They do not know, five organizations are Good eyesight knowledge, know they are interested, so secret transmission of the Sixth Patriarch. Why is the transmission of the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng? Because he is a righteous person practicing the Bodhisattva, mass pounding rice to eat, help people learn direct practice. Like the cook in the kitchen, is the Bodhisattva, cook delicious meals for everyone. But I finished, do not know good or bad because I do not have time to research the food. Bodhisattva is in any case will help, it will not for the obstacles. So say: Army into the Detailed m y o, that is, the gentleman with the full fine for punching people. Like now there are few who want to home, I asked if anyone opposed? As a result no one will object. That is the American people, not against people going home, who are also endorsed.

Hui Neng that night easily recognize the throne Sixth Patriarch, but no one knows, because no one knows, so no one will object. Five team did not ask: "People endorse or oppose." Just Marble Group promises the possibility is right.

Five To graciously taught Hui Neng:

-You need to be careful to keep the robe and bowl, this is due to the eternal Buddha Shakyamuni handed. He must be around all sentient beings, brought Buddhism to spread everywhere, eternal handed on, not to break.

At Ngu To say "do not let the break," I believe Five The Ambassador very mournful worried. His fear was also crying. Why do I know that? Since the Second Team at the point of being killed, he said: "to life from the group, the Shurangama become famous general, no one understands. " Five The Ambassador said, "do not let the break," certain emotions extremely says: "You need to be careful! Noting! Should not be ignored. This is a particularly important, do not let the break. Nay me because he said a verse:

Beings lower hybrid strains

: Love is compassion, because I have compassion for planting the seed, is the life I transmitted the Dharma to him.

Human place the birth finishing touch:

for me to give him the traditional as well as providing seed planted to the ground, the result will be born.

Accidentally herons wives:

if there is no transmission of him, there is no Bodhi seeds.

Very nature of the unborn heron:

no identity and no birth.

That is one interpretation, and also a different explanation:

Beings lower hybrid strains: The

is a kind of emotional or erotic, erotic because of new seeds, like your general studying Buddhism here, not kin, as well as friends, relatives, love of kin, affectionate friends of friends. So emotional, so everybody together studying Buddhism.

Human place the birth finishing touch:

Because of this love for Bodhi planted the seed, but first need to have land, can bear fruit, new can Bodhi born fruit.

Accidentally herons numerous strains

: If anyone does not know this ashrams are not anyone here studying Buddhism.

Very nature of the unborn heron:

If you do not have the Buddha nature can not become a Buddha.

This poem has a lot of explaining, just match the teaching, teaching that has been all.

Patriarchs said: "Once the Dalai Lama's new ambassador to this country, because this is not medical information should be transmitted to credit, talk to each other from generation to generation. How about France taking mind communication, led light for people to express themselves, their own understanding. From ancient Buddhas can only transmit Bon, the only secret awarded four temporary only. Y is the focal point of the painting, to track users transmission. If transmission y,, the very dangerous nature of the network. Let's go quickly, lest e those who harm you. "

Instructor:

Five Patriarch said: "Formerly Bodhidharma, the first to China thirty five years ago, people do not respect respect for him, but called him Ma-la-look. Because no one knows He is the Patriarch, so the new group communication of evidence-based dishes to do things. "

In fact he bowls only credit is a character expression that, in fact Buddhism need to use mind transmission, making their own enlightened self-realized. Throughout history, all the Buddhas of communication are four - the nature, text tourism Patriarch Legend is the bathtub. Italy is the focal point of contention bowl win. Y bowl new people fight each other, winning competition medicine bowl to Patriarch. Even with sneak thieves y dishes that make Patriarch author. Like Shen Tu want to steal medicine from Five To, like sleep The transmission of yourself. If he passes law to other people trying to kill him. Y this time silk had been stolen three times, Five team also stolen three times, but have not been the thief took, this is the by that touch Bodhisattva. Sometimes The stolen six times, then Voo Zetian (female Emperor Tang) declared taking for it, then no one knows where Y.

Active Team went on to say: "He is the focal point of the bowl competition, just passed on to him to stop, then should not continue communication. If traditional medicine bowl, afraid that his life like a thread hanging cord bell, at any time is also dangerous. He immediately leave this place, because I'm afraid someone hurt him. "

Hui Neng said: "Aunt origin?"

He said: The "Meet Humphrey stayed, met the hidden refuge there."

Third watch, when Hui Neng received the robe and bowl and transparency that: "Hui Neng, who was Consul Men, do not know a way where this mountain, how is the Mekong River?"

Five Patriarch said: "You do not have to worry about, so I put you out."

Instructor:

Hui Neng asked five organizations:

-White Master, I go now?

-To Hoai Group (now Wuzhou Guangxi), it can be stopped, if the to Sihui district (this is Xinhui Guangdong Province), you can retreat there.

Third watch that night after Five Life To transmit the robe and bowl, Hui Neng asked:

-The capital of the south, Cantonese, not familiar with the winding mountain road here, how can ye Jiujiang?

Five The console says:

-You do not have to worry, I will personally take him away.

To take us straight to the station Jiujiang, told us on the boat, and Five from rowing bird based Fatherland.

Hui Neng said: "Some of the Master sat, to disciple new row."

Five Patriarch said: "I have new people."

Hui Neng said: "Now, Master, treatments, then he is of himself." "That" is a name but not the same. Hui Neng birth place edit field, the voice not be true, because I begin, this was the show enlightened, liberal nature (with her character) will be. "

Instructor:

Five ancestors Sixth Patriarch to Jiujiang stations. "Services" means the station to convey their message of the ancients. Five Patriarch said:

-He come on the boat!

And holding paddle boating. Hui Neng said:

-Time to sit Master, to the new sailing right.

Five Patriarch said:

-So which one of you is true.

-Yes, when not enlightened nature, exact representation confusion, should be designated by the teacher teach how to practice religion, making enlightenment.

This includes not afraid of leg pains and hardships. Sixth Patriarch every day pounding rice, more arduous everyone. Sixth Patriarch Ambassador back wearing rock pounding rice, still preserved in the Dong Son Meditation Self, By Mountain, Hubei Province, the top carved with the words "This is rock backpack lay pounding rice by Lu Hui Neng . "

But once been enlightened, have their own degrees. Same called ä measurement , but the student teacher and the student teacher, the use of the word is not the same. Children born in marginal places in Ha Tien, pronunciation is not correct, no one listening, the teacher taught the Abhidharma child care publications, this has enlightened, it is necessary to own ourselves.

This is Ngu The Sixth Patriarch said, meditation, sleep Patriarch said: "I have new people appropriately." The Sixth Patriarch said: "When love guru, enlightenment and human freedom (self-identity)."

Called self pride? For example when you do not have to recite the Shurangama, others teach you to recite, but after learning process itself urge his attack chant books, do not need others to recommend prompt. Now do not understand the chanting, the need to master to teach you chant; after understanding yourself chanting, without teacher asked: Today, chanting or not? Just as there are people who want to learn at Tiantai worth Ambassador worship Shurangama Sutra, the Lotus Sutra to enlightenment, so every day every night prostrate to the Lotus Sutra, also known as nature itself.

Again, should turn afflictions into Bodhi. You need to bring the methods learned their own practice, but turn afflictions into Bodhi. Now people want to make it difficult, you need to look at it like flowers in the mirror, moon under water, as illusory as, like sleep like mist, like disturbing thoughts will disappear. Encountered realm if you can see through clearly, we can let go called self-pride.

Again if you have bad habits, drinking smoking, after listening to the master declaration, knew it was something of a hindrance to spiritual direction that the glass away. For example, I have a disciple said to try, then diet results must always, absolute abstinence omit the also known as nature itself. If you can get rid of instant enlightenment, if not eliminated, they still also confused, so enlightened or not is decided by you. If possible the presiding evil work, we improve the service, that is the essence of freedom. At not understand Buddhism, inevitably deluded doing wrong, but after understanding the Dhamma, it is necessary to record Remember to please not do the crazy confusion. If they are not doing it, you are guilty of Buddhism, later given into hell, because you tri criminal law that, three serious crime. Should say: " each department using natural life, and the real operational within, predestined reunion time, the effect is life itself. " means: Even though hundreds of thousands of lives, now have created and it is difficult to lose, the conditions when the encounter, the effect itself must take. No one can replace that leaders bear the sin of killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, drinking alcohol that they have caused. Every creation of any life, then this will result of the same work, one bit wrong not run.

Free nature

profound implications, ie the need to get rid of the notion doubt regret, to eliminate the dirty structural in nature. If you can not clean unless they shall not nature itself. Something called dirty structure of nature ie your crazy delusions, ignorance negativity, illegal habits property.

Before my it this lecture texts, once said: "You create negative karma you into hell; create negative karma, I hell; it create negative karma, it's hell."

At that opponents say: "Never had it, hell? Until now I have never seen, whether hell, I would like to try."

I replied: "You want to try? He do not try to will into hell, try fall." Why is that? You see people in hell, so try that fall into it, so today want to get out of that can not be. So, today I kindly advised to remind those who want to try, it should discard the idea!

Those who self-pride ? Everyone can self-pride, but the new wisdom, ignorance is not the impossible nature of freedom, even if only to teach them, they will not listen. Like teach the dog not to bite, but hit it but seeing it still as biting as usual, is new because of his foolish it should do such nonsense. Cats catch mice, but teach him to keep the world, not killing, need free birth, but because of bad habits hard to fix, according to old bad habit. Teaching mouse should not steal, but it's still stealing food. Theft smoking, sneaking alcohol, are the actions of those who refused to modify bad habits. Who truly understand the reason, do not do things confused; ignorant nor wise to do things.

Nature itself,

however, that you must put away your own bad habits. Teacher can not always be at your side, it is recommended to remind you not to do bad things. Above is the basic explanation, if more thorough ly speaking, lest say that does not go away.

Patriarchs said: "Yeah, right! From here soon after, the Dharma will come from people that are into practice. Gone, three years will died. Now you go, exercise south, but not rush sermon, because Buddhism inspired in trouble. "

Instructor:

Five Patriarch said: "Yes (as)! Yes! This is a contract where my mind. Buddhism would later of his vast uphold. He left three years later, and I will enter Nirvana, because our approach has succeeded. He now needs to be diligent effort southbound. He should have hidden talents, nurture the spirit, then what can be successful. But after leaving from this site should not rush to propagate Buddhism, because Buddhism inspired in hard, as hard as possible. "

Hue farewell this Patriarch, southbound, in the next two months the mountain General Consul for example.

(As Five To return, how many days such lecture. Lap comfort disciples, came and asked: "Master, have little sick or sad expenses?" Patriarch said: "I do not have more disease, but French Medical south. "they asked:" Who's life begin? "Patriarch said:" He has the ability to be. "Then map them new.)

Behind hundreds of people chasing me, like winning the robe and bowl.

Instructor:

Sixth Patriarch Ambassador after from jargon Team (from behavior that can not take care of itself take care of the five organizations), to the south from the mountain via through Jiujiang go to Guangdong. Over the past two months, the to General Consul example (where the boundary of the Nam Hung Guangdong Province and District Southern District General example, Jiangxi Province).

Whole group after return, some day upper path sermon, great beings suspicion, to the staff room to ask:

-Bach Master scepter! He is sick, you mind spending?

Five To answer:

-It is not there, but he bowls already transmitted to the south, he can leave this place where I no longer Buddhism, I'm going to retire.

We asked:

-Who are y bowl? He gave one?

-The skill and capacity Nhut y bowl.

At that time everyone knew the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng y bowl. There's also very smart, France As the Zen master, one of the ten chief disciples of the Great Fatherland. Five organizations reminding ten chief disciples each person in a legal teaching beings. Teacher French As listening to said, heavier assume that the immediately know who was the robe and bowl:

-The barbarian who Cantonese, lay Lu Hui Neng, was the robe and bowl, it is strange!

Everybody heard objections:

-No, no! How can the transmission of Hui Neng. We follow almost five team for many years, why Five The transmission not legal for us? Seem to mind the five group no longer lucid. We need to chase Hui Neng, won for y bowl back.

So more than a hundred people chasing the Sixth Patriarch want to win back the robe and bowl.

There is a teacher they Tran, Hue Minh name, date before made products Shogun, violent temperament, determined to find one. He led them mercy and followed this up with Hui Neng. Hui Neng bowl set y rock and said: "Y is represented objects credits, huh exertion that picture!" Then this Hui Neng hiding in the grass competition.

Hue Minh to hold y turn up but did not move, cried out that: "The author, practitioner, because of the French come here, do not because y!"

Instructor:

This time out of a hundred people, a home, continue name is Tran Hue Minh, previously worked from general products, crude temperament remove nervous, a little educated, open mouth was yelled at, if anyone does not listen to the mainland to hand hit. The powerful strength, stone weighing tens sign also can smash. For this he has the charisma to Four general. He has a special incredible ability - non-capillary quit (who ran as fast as care), one can run two hundred miles, which usually can only run a hundred miles at most.

He was determined to win the robe and bowl back, think that anyone has the power that will be the robe and bowl. He runs very fast, run in front of people, and about to be able to catch up with Hui Neng.

Hui Neng see rude people like to run, then his mind a bit nervous panic. But he was legal, but the new practice Dharma, no big magic, so a bit worried. So Hui Neng went to bring medicine bowl put on a stone, said to nowhere that: "Y this bowl is an object of the credit, how can you use force to compete to win?" Then Hui Neng went to hide in clumps of grass, do not let people see. Hue Minh ran to see the robe and bowl, but could not lift it. Why he picked up well? Because of the intangible realm of divine protector, Forums protected health bowl, so even if Hue City have such power, as well as the hero does not have land use martial arts only. At the time Hui Minh went exclaimed that:

-The practice enlightened Oh, I as Buddhism that come here, not because he wanted to win the robe and bowl!

For he lift no robe and bowl, so say so; if prompted to make a name, he hugged y bowl that runs from this place for a long time. Since the lift into the air, he went to wake up: Y bowls can not use strength to win, so the direction of the Sixth Patriarch to legal requirements.

Why say Hue Minh's not because the law is the because he bowl? Because if it is him because law that, they will not touch the robe and bowl first, which just arrived spoke first: "practitioner, practitioner, because of law, not because he bowls to. " You said that I said that reasonable?

Hui Neng, inside came out, sat cross-legged on a rock. Hue Minh ceremony, saying: "May the grace of legal practitioner said to me."

Hui Neng said: "He that but here, it is quite an end to all ceilings grace, not born a thought, I will clear the Dharma to him."

Quietly for a long time, this Hui Neng said: "No thought good, does not think evil, then what is the future of the monk?"

Hui Ming heard before, immediately great awakening.

Hue Minh asked: "In addition to the words and intentions magic mystery he has taught, that only magic anymore?"

Instructor:

Listen to Hue Minh said, the Sixth Patriarch went from grass clumps come out, sit on the rock. Then Hue Minh kowtow worship (although ordained not worship at home, but here is the special grace, so exceptions):

-I would assume because I preach.

Sixth Patriarch told Hue Minh Ambassador:

-He began to suspect that law, not because he wanted to win the robe and bowl, need to stop all eight conditions, not thinking of anything, a concept not born. I do this because he preached.

Saying went silent not say. At that time the Sixth Patriarch Ambassador did not give birth to a concept, Hue Minh also not born a thought, the two are constantly arising, even the devil did not know both of them are doing so say eternal salary , for about five minutes. Sixth Patriarch Ambassador see Hue himself no longer delusions, the coast has to let go of all no, then said:

-At the time he did not think good, do not think evil, who at that time was true hybrid power section four of the Venerable Hue Minh?

Because asking "one," so on the following Zen are involved "nembutsu who?"

In this use of the word "something" is secular, ie "anyone." Why use "Venerable?" Because the Sixth Patriarch Ambassador still lay, so confess Hue City is the Venerable.

Listen Luc return, so, Hue Minh interoperability course of treatment.

Hue enlightened but then, were earlier transferred, were aware legs obligation to breed your own, but do not know basics, greed still large. Those who chase the Sixth Patriarch Ambassador are wrong by greed, desire to team up Friday. Hue Minh Ambassador is the one involved in the visit, he enlightened and still feel not enough, it seems that there are things yet to come, to ask more questions:

-He has preached to I bile terms, this important addition to the words and ideas, ask also more wonderful word?

Bile language

here need to understand is magic , should not be regarded as confidential.

Hui Neng said: "What I told him it was not a secret (because magic). If he reflected, might hold (the magic) in right where he was."

Hue Minh said: "I am in Hoang Mai, but damage not know which area your item review. Nay by practitioners teach, share drinks, hot cold or yourself. Now Thay practitioners of Hue so clever. "

Hui Neng said: "If so, the same church he co-a teacher merit Hoang Mai. Be smart holder!"

Hue Minh said: "Now and then Hue Minh to go country?"

Hui Neng said: "See List, stop, see Mongolia, there."

Minh City to celebrate and then retire.

Instructor:

Sixth Patriarch Great Master replied:

-Things that I spoke to him was not secret, nor is the most wonderful thing. If he in optical reflection, Abhidharma right place, not at me.

Hue Minh happy to say:

-I in Hoang Mai have long, really do not have to wake up to realize his own foot section area. Now thanks to the practitioner taught, like drinking water, hot or cold only they themselves know. This is a master practitioner of Hue City.

Sixth Patriarch Ambassador said:

-If you think so, then I rather Ngu Hoang Mai The transmission of him. We all worship the five organizations as Master, fraternal co-teacher. He needs to keep protected Buddhism do not let the break.

Hue Minh asked:

-Hue Minh then this should go?

-Far Chau, stop, Mong Son to reside there.

At that Hue Minh went towards the Sixth Patriarch kowtow worship, special cult.

Then Hue Minh is not immediately on the way, three years later to the head in Mongolia Son. Here Hue Minh met a demon, this demon is living at a baccalaureate so after death can still write poetry. It soak a poem as follows:

President president desert assignment of dreams herons,

Metal neck chain to measure success or failure.

Draft evolution concept multi least,

All-the century arsenal.

Fluorescent enough the import,

Context shelf he museum.

Exchange real or Auto-hearted,

Chi tried liquidation of bisexual paint.

Roughly translated:

Quiet night suburban place,

Serene calm dream fulfilled.

What the film not expect the heart,

Success or failure of this ancient capital indifference.

Floral effect is not how many times,

Vulgar smells bitter life.

The night fellow fireflies,

Cultivation gradually shaded crow.

Heart regrets himself for how long,

There shall spiritual care not seek.

Do not know where my head is holy,

To this green mountain melancholy rate.

Hue Minh hearing went to preach to it, making it super rebirth. For became Mongolia Son of (key visa Mongolia Son each night or The Phu Afternoon in the temple), is super demon soul.

Hue Minh returned to the foot of the mountain, calling them chase, saying: "For all the mountain road that traces nothing, to go the other direction." They believe so. Hue Minh later renamed Jintao City, which is stop committing to the French ambassador's name.

Instructor:

Hue Minh go down to the foot of the mountain, told several hundred people pursuing Hui Neng:

-I went to see peaks over, not find the identity of him, he can not run this way. Probably gone the other way.

These people hear "non-capillary quit" saw Hui Neng, and believed that loss. Actually Hue Minh ambassador said the prospects language. Why did he lie? Because he was legal, because he wanted to protect the Dharma and the safety of the Sixth Patriarch false hence said so. Hue Minh later renamed Dao Minh, because Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng name, he wanted to avoid the word "Hue" the first name of the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng, so change named Path Minh.

Hui Neng after arriving create Khe were they evil multiplication chase, should have fled, in conjunction with us hunters in Sihui district, spending fifteen years. During the stay with them, we also legal discretionary said. They used to tell us to keep hunters grid. Every time that the species of animals entered, we were released before. Every meal, you take vegetables boiled posts in the cook pot. Some people ask, we answer that only eat boiled vegetables cooked with meat only.

Instructor:

Sixth Patriarch then ambassador to Nanhua Temple in Tao Khe. Spirit prison is not going to give up, confidante disciples to kill the Sixth Patriarch. Sixth Patriarch to Sihui land along live with a bunch of hunters to avoid the crowd want to hurt yourself, because no one thought that a religious Buddhist ethic that can live with a bunch of hunters, so they go around Sixth Patriarch search for not. Fifteen years have passed (say sixteen years that include even a whole year he fled, his real life with bunch of hunters fifteen years). In fifteen years he often said legal group of hunters heard.

Make hunter often has the Sixth Patriarch Ambassador job guarding the net, he saw animals and birds alive caught in the net, will find ways to free birth. Each time for dinner, he often find wild vegetables in the mountains put on a pot of meat to cook. Someone asked why do so, he replied:

-I only eat vegetables cooked with meat, I do not eat meat.

One day, we think the time has come to lecture, should not hide forever. I went to the temple French Identity in Guangzhou, met Indian Shamans Tong lectures Nirvana. Then winds blow shook the leaves. One teacher said the wind, another teacher in the East, two the nostalgic discourse not hand over.

Hui Neng forced to say: "Neither wind, nor the East, he is the center of the false mercy."

We multiplication heard all terrified. An Tong invited us to sit around the end, and asked the magical sense.

Seeing this Hui Neng replied, simple language, meaning appropriate action, but not by deed, Indian Tong said: "The extension is not often. Been a long time I have heard the same method of Hoang Mai Ngu To the south, there must be a practitioner? "

Hui Neng said: "I did not dare!"

Nhon, India Apostolic worship, for granted health inequality for public view.

Instructor:

One day, the Sixth Patriarch Ambassador start-up ideas:

-Now it is time to be preaching, can not forever hide like this.

So he left from Sihui to go to the Temple France Nature in Guangzhou, met at Indian Shamans Tong was teaching Nirvana Sutra. During the lectures, the wind shook the leaves. At that time a monk said:

-This is the wind.

Another monk said:

-This is the East.

Two disputes relentless. Sixth Patriarch told them that:

-By the author, which is at the center of his! If his heart is not, nor wind, nor the East.

At that hearing we heard him say so feel very magical. It is an economic speech from them.

Indian shaman Tong asked the Sixth Patriarch Ambassador rise building, take him opening magical ethics in business. Indian shaman Tong noticed the Sixth Patriarch Ambassador preaching is simple, but accurate reasoning, not by writing the theory, so deeply admired should say:

-Practitioner, certain he was not trivial. I heard a long robe and bowl of Hoang Mai transferred to the South, is he not?

Sixth Patriarch Great Master replied:

-I do not dare.

Indian shaman Tong heard he is the heir to the robe and bowl of Five to Ben direction of the Sixth Patriarch Ambassador kowtow worship, visiting ambassadors brought the robe and bowl of Five The mass given view.

Indian Tong asked: "Duc Hoang Mai as vice wished, he travels life like?"

Hui Neng said: "He did not have a life, just about insights nature. He did a review of meditation and enlightenment."

Indian Tong asked: "Why did not comment meditation and liberation?"

Hui Neng said: "For meditation and free legal duality, not Buddhism. Buddhism is legal for two (non-duality)."

Indian General asked: "What is legal not two?"

Hui Neng said: "Mage lectures Sutra Nirvana, surely clearly French Buddhahood is not two of Buddhism. Noble As Lord Buddha Kingdom Bodhisattva transparency with that: commit four things forbidden, as in crime reverse and oblique-subject, the virtue of the Buddha nature must be annihilated? Buddha replied that: shortsighted two things: one is regular, the other is impermanent. But Buddhahood is not often, not very often, should not annihilated, was known as such either. myopic, there are two: one is good, two is not healthy, the Buddha nature is not good, is not no good, he called France there are two. Aggregates with world byproducts that have two, the mind to understand, to know the nature of it's capital no two. Tanh no two that is the Buddha nature. "

Indian Tong listening to me, excited, his hands said: "My teaching experience billion as ceramic tile, place a review means of multiplication author as gold." Nhon, India Tong hair down to the church and pray we do teacher.

Hui Neng sat under the Bodhi tree that declaration takes East paint teachings.

Instructor:

Indian shaman Tong asked:

-At Hoang Mai Five The Ambassador passed to his robe and bowl, then taught and how?

-Actually, no marker, only talks about its nature, does not have conversations about meditation and enlightenment.

Indian shaman Tong asked:

-Why not talk about meditation and liberation?

Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng replied:

-For meditation and binary release is legal, not Buddhism. Buddhism is not a binary, only a legal, so called duality legal.

-What is called dualistic approach of Buddhism?

-Mage! He lectured economic nirvana, if he can see the Buddha nature, intelligent mind its nature, it is a legal non-dual teachings in Buddhism. Like as German Noble Bodhisattva United asked the Buddha: "If someone committed four precepts need four types: observation, religion, sex, hope, do not know repentance, army against sin: to kill the father, killed his mother, kill Arahant, Buddha destroy harmony Increase for bleeding, the most kind -oblique-subject (ie people who do not have faith), these people have the virtue of the Buddha nature or not? " Buddha said: "Good base there are two types: one is the case, the two are impermanent. But Buddhahood is no distinction between permanent and impermanent, so the Buddha nature. Calling it nondual teachings. Again Also, contingent, anonymous good is good; army against, collect evil is evil, but the Buddha nature without distinction of good and evil, that called duality practice. " Aggregates of form, feeling, perception, volition, consciousness; gender is eighteen, ie senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind), green cap (color, sound, smell, taste, touch, legal) , green (eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body-consciousness, consciousness). Byproducts that aggregates and eighteen men are two distinct things, but the wisdom willow achieve its nature which are not two, there is no distinction, the true nature of such duality is called Buddha nature.

Indian shaman Tong after hearing the Sixth Patriarch Ambassador heart glad sermon ever ever, hands reverently said:

My Indian-Tong lectures, like bricks, and His teaching experience is like gold.

Now Indian Shamans Tong Pagoda in Quang Hieu hair down for the Sixth Patriarch Ambassador and volunteer of Sixth Patriarch Ambassador to show.

Sixth Patriarch Ambassador then sat under the Bodhi tree in Quang Hieu Pagoda, open Dong Son methods.

Said: "Hui Neng legal in the East Mountain, bear bitter hundred surface, nature the strongest just, today are the same with the military, the official dignitaries, monks, nuns, religion, customs, and meet at this conference. If not by grace where accumulated life, past lives, the people who have offerings to the Buddhas, and healthy plant roots, so to be heard above measures DC teachers and multiplication conditions favorable our approach. Falun DC teacher's resources Saints the previous tradition, not by Hui Neng far from understood. Want to listen to the teachings of the Saints former lives, each person must be neighbors for a clean heart. Listen then to to abandon the comfort or the evidence achievements as team multiplication. "

We multiplication hear all be happy, and holiday retreat.

Instructor:

Sixth Patriarch Ambassador said:

-I Mount Hoang Mai after his legal form, encountering numerous hardships hardship, refugees everywhere, life is like a thread hanging cord tone. Now been honored with First using Vi Cu and the official, nuns direction on the gathered in the auditorium. This is predestined many more lives our life form, as well as the many lives of before offering the Buddhas, together cultivation of virtue, can hear the cut religious teachings of the Saints the previous theory, and that I was predestined to obtain the solution.

Teaching is by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the past save for later transmission, not the wisdom of Hui Neng me. You if you want to listen to the teachings that the Buddha said, first need to calm your mind. After listening to the law, every person himself away our doubts, like listening to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas teaching.

We listened to the Sixth Patriarch taught rejoiced bowed back.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.MHDT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUNS=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.18/12/2012.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
