Sermon

Atta hi attano natho

ONLY FOR TA TA refuge.

 

Because S-headmaster Nandamalabhivamsa university preaching International Theravada Buddhist (ITBMU - Yangon) - Rector of Abhidhamma institute Yangon International.

Atta hi attano natho  = Only one refuge for us.

All of us have probably heard this verse before. This is the economic theory of Buddha. But not everyone in life and accept this. Who also find themselves taking refuge. Who is here to give us refuge? Parents, friends, friendship? Does anyone think we are "just rely on yourself" as the Buddha say? Most people who also find in his family to lean on. Indeed, no one can tell us where is the refuge. Buddha is our only refuge of our long-term only. You can find it in the texts.

" Attadipa "means the island yourself, do it yourself lamp, refuge themselves themselves. Do not look for someone else to lean on. Really no one other than himself is his refuge for all. You have probably heard people say "I work, I do", "force me, I learn", "me time, I practice" or "my turn, I went" again?

Try thinking a little view, we present in this life. Both of our brothers and sisters were born into this life. Are all arrangements have been available to students in a family or to ourselves? When you go out, have you already arranged together is: He / she go first, I'll go after reasonable? If you think life is profound truth is like a train fire. To train the people to buy tickets. On each of the tickets are numbered seat, car number. You have to find the number of seats and number written on the ticket counter and then sit for the right place. If other people it seats, then we tell them to go ask someone else. I had the opportunity to sit in that place because we have to pay for it. There are rules (temporary) is my place. We do not accept if someone sitting in my seat. Then, when the station will have to leave our seats, leaving the train to the station down. When you think about it, her seat, her carriages have is yours again? Ladies do not, because you have to ship it, the road, then we have to go. You can also think about: "Building that my prescription, which is the seat of my chair" again? Nobody thought about it again.

For example: In a Yankin family in this instance, because the results now and now that all parents, brothers and sisters come together in a family, in a neighborhood in this Yankin. When it met in the family, you have to call the people who are doing their mothers, My Woman, come here as my mother? No, the Buddha said: "AGA = ANAVHITO Tato means  unwelcome "and" Gato = NANUNNATO ITO means  that it is not allowed to leave . "Anybody that says: Mom stay with children, do not have to go again? Ladies do not.

And like that, when met, they are each other shelters. Is it the refuge forever? Ladies can not be. When they suffer and when we suffer, whether it be your refuge who is reasonable? Even when they fall, we also join together to help them get up again is. Then the old, you can tell them how to "Take the old ones here" is not? Ladies do not. Then when sick, will only have to endure alone, miserable, tired. Try asking anyone we shared the same subject for a little unpleasantness that is not? Ladies do not. Wow! This world is obvious that there is nothing to lean on - it is obvious right? It is so obvious. Pain, suffering elderly, suffering and ultimately death, no one can make is to rely on anyone at all. So anyone who can give us refuge? Only myself only.

Or relied on themselves

Relying on yourself is like? He says: Take refuge in the Dhamma which we practice. When the elder Sariputta entered Nirvana, the elder brother of the Cunanda (Chu-nan-majority) brought the Buddha and Ananda remaining items such as Y, Bat etc. ... Ananda exclaimed: " venerable sir! Sariputta Hearing elders pass away, I was sad. I can still do not know where is distinguishing the East, West, South, North anymore. In my mind, the French could not clearly, I try to remember that there is France. When the news was, my mind's so sad. " Ananda is sotapanna (Sotapana) but still suffering.

Then the Blessed One reminder: "Come Ānanda! When Sariputta who had taken away his citizenship, concentration, Tue anything? "Then Ananda replied:" Yes, sir not. Venerable Sariputta is known Catholic World, who knew and preached, is of higher wisdom, I have lost the opportunity to listen to the Dhamma by Venerable's theory. "

"Ananda! The so-called compounded - due to work conditions - does not have a typically French at all, just relying on yourself, do not rely on others. If you rely on other people, soon it will turn people pass away, and the time when he was no longer shelters anymore. "

At the time of the Buddha was alive, because Exalted respect, people rely on Him, the Exalted, but it also has entered Nirvana. Those who rely on Sariputta elders, elders Nirvana, Ananda rely on, he also entered Nirvana. There can not be an individual who is forever the only Dhamma (Dhamma - the truth) is forever. Compassion France that the new practices we have in place we are. As to walk alone in the journey in this reincarnation, should accompany us, only Dharma.

HI attano NATHO Atta - his only refuge is his, only the new French practice Compassion is our refuge. Actually there is one long-term shelter for anyone, or maybe it is just another temporary help only.

Pali full sentence is:  Atta hi attano natho, kohi natho Paro Siya  - indeed (thanks to the practice of compassion France), only one new refuge for us, how can others refuge for It is.

We are made up of what we've done. I do not practice self-compassion France then you can not go and generosity to understand the value of doing so. Only when you practice, give rise to clear the place Kusala Dhamma practice this mind-body, they will feel that can only rely on the long-term good things we have done. Things outside of us, there is nothing that is permanent at all.

Parents often think that they would rely on their children, but if children because jobs go to other places where, you know who to rely on now? Friends, too, so do we. They can not rely on us forever. We have jobs ours. Only one shelter is "Compassion France". The existence, along with their presence, met in the journey of life is France, is the truth. So the Buddha spoke to a verse, a perspective, not just with a view of the world, lest we cling to false refuge:

"Atta attano NATHO HI,

Siya PARO NATHO KO HI;

HI ATTANA SUDANTENA

NATHAM LABHATI DULLABHAM. "

-  Atta hi  = indeed, alone,

-  attano  = his own,

-  natho  = (is) helpless.

-  Attana hi sudantena  = Really thanks to his skillful teaching (practice compassion France);

-  Natham  = France in particular, France's sublime refuge,

-  labhati  = achieve,

-  dullabham  = is difficult to achieve.

Translation:  Only the Good French new practices that we are our refuge, how else can one refuge to be. Indeed, thanks to its teachings and practices that France achieved a French noble, are really helpless, difficult to achieve.

The mind so you go offline. Of the sons, daughters, relatives, whom we will rely upon? Please do not be thinking about. If you rely on no one mistakes it could save, help us all.

Themselves his refuge - This implies that rely on the refuge in France-there really is inside us, do not look outside. Relying on his own means his commandments themselves to cultivate compassion France. The others are easy commandments, and his commandments are hard - Buddha: "Atta HI KIRA DUDDAMO" means  training yourself is hard results . Parents teach their children commandment, commandment teach small adult, who admonished the other ... it's easy, but his teaching yourself is very difficult. Through his teaching yourself, we became friendly place, and that is the true refuge. And if not his commandments, we will not be able to get the true refuge.

 

CHARITY FRANCE - REAL refuge

So true refuge is what? Compassion is France that we had practiced. For example - when a person is born in the world,

(1) - thanks avoid killing him;

(2) - avoid taking what is not given;

(3) - avoid adultery, affair wife time;

by avoiding three unwholesome about this body that he has made three FRIENDLY NOW (good work by itself). Thanks to three blessings have practiced good work by this body that he was born in the human realm, heaven. Friendly three decades now has in good karma (Kusalakammapatha).

And, EXPORT karma (good work by the words) -

(4) - is to avoid lying, just saying what I remember, you know;

(5) - not to say things do people put this bear other frictions;

(6) - not to say rude, just say the word cultured, polite; 

(7) - avoid saying the word frivolous useless, just say the word benefits. It is the practice of compassion France. This practice can help a person born in the human realm, heaven. Today we are human, there is a human life as a result of this karma. The French brought us to here that.

Again

(8) - he abandon the desires of the other person's property wealth into his ( lobha );

(9) - he quit malice ( byapada ), center courtyard ( dosa ) want to destroy the benefit and happiness of others;

(10) - have the right mindset is: what actions are good or bad, respectively good and bad results and they accepted it ( SAMM aditthi ).

Such practice is the practice of compassion France. All karma is ten, ten France friendly. Due to this karma that ten human world. To be the person must perform this karma decades. And create ten unwholesome (also known as karma, karma opposed to ten above) can not be called so. Realm of the realm is achieved thanks to the good work carried out ten, so heavenly.

The karma created ten suffer rebirth in the lower realms (not peace and happiness - aka apàya deprivation). One can not say no to hell because they do not see. On the right in the world of men's lives, if visible good deeds you are doing by not doing a good job at all, they will understand the consequences of any action that is how good?. Better hell realm is the animal, the animal is better rebirth in the hungry ghost realm or Asuras. Rebirth in this realm are related to results of ten evil deeds.

Because no amount of practice that being French in the amount of deprivation more beings in heaven and human beings. People often think - the world's population is very crowded, as the population is increasing. As some countries do not even allow birth to children who have no chance of life because due to overpopulation. Other countries also not allowed entry because they think their country's population is so crowded. However, do not look at the number of animal species, just look at a stop, if that comparison of the number of different how? The eggs in a fish belly up to the millions. This is just a child alone in a species, not enough human population more stars? The number of animals is much the same, sure some people do things is very much illegal.

Have you thought out of ten people in the goodness of this world are many, but every review in your daily life try: Right from early morning until close my eyes to sleep: "I've missed doing something not affordable? I have accidentally breaks one of the ten evil deeds [1]  you propose? "This is why no self-worth? If your review is not how do we know from early morning until bedtime - I have missed any network being murdered? Having taken the wealth that is not for you? "... If you check yourself often and each time it checks the case, then what we have done will reappear again. If the bad things we do should miss remodeling. What good deeds have been done it should be continued. Because this is our shelter.

If karma missed, please feel free to tell myself: "This should not be repeated again." What happened to the others, we have to say, but his story is easy to forgive. If a rupture disk, we can scold people Hovers What the hell, not the quad. And if we do fall by the said risks.

If you forgive yourself, then it is trying to forgive. Today, there are many who, when they do then they deem risky, we do well to risk - we should not have such attitudes.

"Do it, so she goes on forever, do not care at all, and I was very careful." Why do they think so? It's not human nature that everyone wants to see her be more important why? We need to understand this. That is the reality.

When you understand this, then, we must know the curb, if not, then I do not know who it is, no culture. I just want to than others but do not overpower your self. Most people do not allow self-restraint, self-control themselves and not that enough reason to hospital. They also do not forgive others. If you do not forgive easily, do not easily forgive myself. The easy to forgive yourself, who can not be sage.

The wise old position, if not to miss doing these things, often not forgive himself and his moralism to become a better, more civilized. When we have the culture, the skill training, the newly acquired refuge indeed. Refuge will actually be available unless we understand and tame his self, his self-teaching.

If you think I will rely on this son or daughter? Or relatives and relatives? Keep in mind that in the community of our society, our friends, people around, there is a refuge indeed. For example, dying on his deathbed, who is the mainstay for us? Only a true mainstay for us is the Compassion Center was nurtured our French only.

At that time, if you go with the mind clinging attachment to children, property ... it will lead to misery. To avoid this, we should depend on France compassion that we practice. Deathbed that minds are practicing compassion France, it will bring us to the animal friendly (nice place reborn - born Thien - sugati). So please do not be confused refuge.

In order to get refuge there, we have to train your self, should not deceive ourselves. People often do not know they're lying to yourself. If other people do not lie, then I see they are gentle friendly, and we deceiving ourselves again why? So please know restraint, self-chemistry, self-training himself.

In 550 the forerunner of the Buddha story, memorable things about homemade, self-teaching yourself. Because of his self-teaching, there is a new refuge indeed. Thanks to those who knew her refuge, said refuge in the practice of Dhamma of the Buddha Dharma will never spend havoc. At the time of the Buddha appeared yet, they are the human mind, his self-training. People with this position they find themselves training and shelter for themselves. These people are called Single Pacceka Buddha means Enlightened Buddha. Pacceka - meaning independence, not dependence, ie Buddha said, feeling. And SAMMASAMBUDDHA (aka Enlightenment is the Omniscient Buddha) himself is enlightened Buddhas are the Four Noble Truths (the Four Noble Truths) and is capable of lecturing people realize. Single Enlightened Buddha was also enlightened the Four Noble Truths with their methods but likely not preach to someone about it and realized the Four Noble Truths.

Single Enlightened Buddha appeared in the Enlightenment period does not appear. Single sense Buddha is like? As the practice of Vipassana efforts [2]  often, and thanks to efforts often that even in this life can attain Directed A-La-Han. If near-death moment without attaining the overall network after dissolution of the body, and regeneration, may eventually become a Buddha Single Enlightenment. This is too good of those who try to practice Vipassana, Dharma practice.

Remember, the effort to achieve meditation French noble, is not our task. Suppose when you plant, you have to do is prepare the soil, weeding, fertilizing, watering, pest elimination ... new here is our mission. Can you give bloomers follow your wishes are not? Ladies do not - we can only create conditions (grace), as water, bring the tree out of the sun, when the sun must be brought into the shade trees etc. ... we only provide the conditions for tree flowers only. And with such good conditions, then it is the duty of bloom, bear fruit.

Just like with a diligent meditation, the French nobility, especially the French to automatically regardless of the circumstances. Auto-flowering, fruiting automatically, results will come when ripe. Just when the flowers bloom, bear fruit in time, then bear fruit. These people are trying to meditate in this life can be achieved Noble Path, or even in the moment of death, or in the next life, if not in the next life can become a Buddha Single Enlightenment. So let's practice with his understanding. Only when real practice will find Highway Act.

To become a must read Giac Buddhist achievements of three-la-A-increase-in period two and one hundred thousand aeons. A two-period-increasing numbers to count, one hundred thousand aeons uncountable numbers. To become a Buddha Single Sense not to practice a little three-la-that is, to practice in two A-increase-period and one hundred thousand aeons. Nobody instruction practices, control only yourself, but your commandments themselves find methods. Themselves rely on myself and not rely on anyone or anything else.

In ancient times, Bodhisattva Gotama was a king in Baranasi, he often tends to do things merit. Any public life, he also tends to meditate. At the time no Dharma, He was often perform karma as generosity, morality ... Everyone is different in temperament due to the influence of karma, the habits that have accumulated in the past. Some of them like to hear French, have some do not. Some are like alms offerings, others are not like anything.

Interests (Vasana) is the tendency of repetitive actions, work. The issue now is that repeated practice in life. The karma created in the past how often they usually come back in this life. In the eons may not appear omniscient Buddha then there Enlightened Buddha toxicity. At the Baranasi 5 Single Awareness Buddha went to the king's palace. We should know one thing: The Enlightened Buddha toxicity can appear very much. Omniscient Buddha, only one. At the time Germany not appear omniscient Gotama, the Buddha had a lot of Single Awareness. In doing ISIGILI (Korea Rural Economics) Buddha preached to the name of the Buddha's Enlightenment toxicity. In business practice in Pali (Suttanipàta) Khaggavisana also another product.

The Buddhas have practiced Single Enlightenment like? The position became Buddhist Enlightenment How Toxic is also recorded in the scriptures. In public life sought the meeting, has reached the French practice and how more noble.

Due Baranasi king invited the whole year should have went to the palace. After offering delicacies, the king sat next five to visiting France. When visiting France, the king wanted to know once you asked.

 

Buddha's Enlightenment First Single

The king asked the Buddha Single largest in the Enlightenment: - "Bach  him, because what he renounce lay life and monastic life is sacred? ". King asked.

(Today, there are many parents told ordained by the monastic renunciation, after the new multi-ordained monastic center. During this life the reason that such renunciation., But the reason is very as much).

And then the first Buddha Enlightenment New Single recounted that:

He is an ordinary farmer plowing in a village in the town of Kasi, who was plowing with a friend. In India, the hot season is very hot. Each person must go plow themselves carry water with you. Under the hot weather, sweat drenched flush. When tired, thirsty, open a bottle of his country, that his pot was too little water, he thought: "My kingdom will all lose, we're going to get your water to drink". Thinking is done, he quietly took his friend's drinking water and continued plowing. At night when the job is done, because both are so tired washed down river to return home. Instead bathing costumes, cool refreshing finish somewhere, then you get the new water theft recalled his country: "Wow! Too bad, we bad too! I was the bad results! Since we have greedy thieves of other countries. Without knowing curb greed, we will fall into deprivation losing it. " He had thought like that. Maybe some people here do not think so: "Water that is how valuable" - do not we? But for this farmer, he does not think so. He just thought: "The kingdom of others, but do not get asked to drink". I must say that this is just a small error if after he drank just say: "Hey you, I miss your water drinking and taking" is finished. But he did not think so. He was thinking about the mistakes of desires: "The mind will lead us to the suffering of samsara. This is not a good job - is the fault of greed. "While I was standing and thinking like that, he meditated on the nature of craving and contemplation on the impermanence of the Administrative change. And then just sit down in a time of meditation, he became Buddha Single sense. Maybe you are thinking why so fast, right? That is due to the power of the practice has been decorated set.

You may recall Venerable  Culapanthaka : Exalted gave him a towel, he contemplation France with a towel, when he saw the towel becomes dirty, doing his dirty feel of the body, and defilements of the aggregates themselves. This is France, which he had practiced in the past. France was the practice continues in the present and it gave results. This type of center, formerly also where he appeared before, so this time it was brought to his results. Mind ago and when combined center now has the capacity to alter human nature in him. It made ​​him recall a previous life when he is king, he wiped his forehead with a white handkerchief to take with you. Now looking back white scarf, it has become contaminated by impurities from the body at any time.

Thinking like this is related to a French thinking. Thinking about Buddha France had been aroused back in his place, doing recreate what he had done in the past, thanks to its ability he has attained Directed A-La-Han.

Buddhist sense also read with understanding like that. When he accidentally grab a cup of water to drink other people, his mind is not happy with his job, his heart thought to myself: "Really bad, so we did not have before. Indeed, greed is bad French! "Then he meditated on the nature of participation, and to every evil contemplating a France; development thinking that the nature of impermanence - the turning away of Action, and the width is inherent variability of extinction. While contemplating these things, he gained insight knowledge and achieve Buddhahood always Single Enlightenment.

His friend after her bath ashore and asked: "Hey you, go for it. It was dark then. " He then answered his friend: "I do not come home anymore. I now have the Buddha's enlightenment and Toxicity ". Already a Single Buddha Enlightenment, but his good looks when he still was a farmer. His friend asks, "You kidding me? Single Enlightened Buddha as his what? Buddha, the Enlightened Being Single head without hair and stained clothes do not have to. " Remember, his hand brushed the hair on his head as freshly shaved and had a full eight-requisites. Then his crew to not fly to the Nandamu  mountain  Gandhamadana  residence of the Single Enlightened Buddha, leaving my friend standing stared at it.

Two friends that they are human beings, but there is a wisdom, and one does not. Why is that? Because there was no practice you should not have the knowledge. And he, he knew restraint, self-training, and saw the place needs is his own refuge in the French Compassion, not anyone else.

Where is the real refuge. It's not outside, where other people. True refuge is ourselves. Directed A-La-Han is a special merit. Once this has been achieved then Phuoc Thien, all doubts, all defilements, the defilements, pollution will dissipate. All forms of rebirth, no more student friendly people. All over. Refuge there really are. And this way, the first Buddha's Enlightenment Single recounts his work become like Buddha Single Awareness.

 

Read BUDDHA SECOND SIGHT.

The king asked Monday that:

"Bach him, what about him, he was ordained how?"

He said: He was a bartender in a village of the town of Kasi. When he was sitting in front of the shop has a couple go to. She saw him the guy's wife, a beautiful physique. In his mind starting to feel sexual affair with her wife and him. After you have finished your affair with his wife, he suddenly shaken fear: "Today, we've done anything this bad? I had affair with his wife. If there upon under the center of this evil place, then nobody worse than me. Can not be. " Thinking that he meditated to the French evil and misery, and then reflect on the impermanence of the Administration turned away. Like the first, he became the Buddha Single Enlightenment.

If people often think they will look like: "Well, why miss it already." What about the other: "If we continue to do so, we will wait woeful". Given the woeful state of fear, self-teaching yourself and then you eventually become a Buddha Single sense.

 

Read BUDDHIST THIRD SIGHT

And the third how?

He is a man in the town of Kasi. Father and son while he traveled from village to village where they have to cross the forest. When a forest and that, there is a refuge of bandits. We have the usual blackmail passer. If father and son come together, they will keep the baby and the father began to bring money to them for ransom. If the teachers and students, we will capture him and bring money to sponsor them.

Then, two of them talk to each other: "Hey baby, in this forest bandits there. If they're caught, you do not tell me my son is okay. I will say that is not my son. " Sort done somewhere, father and son entered the forest.

Meet the robbers, they asked: "What are you two the same?". "There's nothing they dry goods". Both father and son are such answers. Then they drop off. Once freed, the father did not think about it, and the child thinks: "Clearly he is my father said we should not. I've missed lied ". Thinking is done, fear arises in the mind of the child. He has taken his self-training. Like the first two, the child becomes a Single Buddha Enlightenment. Apparently they are the sage, said Thien France refuge in himself, does not it?

 

Read OUT WEDNESDAY BUDDHA

He is the village chief in the town of Kasi. He did not want to kill cattle should be banned not kill cattle. Because of his compassion for animals that all bovine meat ... not being sold anymore. However, people in her village gathered around and said to him: "We are here, if not kill buffalo, goat sacrifices that the customs of this village will lose, you do not have restrictions." "Well, just do as he wants." When he allowed as how they began, they killed him ... and still keep so far. Meat goats, buffalo laid out so that, they used the excuse that he has allowed the village chief.

His part, he was very sad: "Just because we allow that these animals were killed. Bad things will happen to us losing. " Scared, he no thoughts of the evil of sin, but also contemplating the precious fruit of the good work. He, too, because in the past has been practicing this path, that is very often turned away by the action and eventually achieve Buddhahood Single Enlightenment.

 

INDEPENDENT OUT YOUR FIFTH BUDDHA

When King asked, are also recounted Thursday:

He was a village chief in Kasi. He enacted laws prohibiting people in the village were not drinking. When the law was given, people often drink in the new village and went to meet him again: "Hey you, just follow the rules in this village festival are also wine, meat. Do not have the routine leave it ". Then he also agreed: "Okay". After the gorge, they disagree, fight bloodshed and drag to the very crowded prison.

The village chief, not alone in the belly: "Those people are crazy and they started fighting to lots of bleeding, there is something wrong here. It's all because we all ". The usually sure do not think so. Only the new sage as he thought. In his mind, that he shows up as a big error. "Errors of this great evil stars? If we continue with this evil, we will only rot fall of misery. " Then, he thought about the sinful nature of evil now, even to suffer because of the variation of the Administrative Removal and the nature of education, he eventually realized becoming a Buddha Single Enlightenment.

Altogether, there are five Single Awareness in common, which is self-tame, self-instruction and ultimately achieve high performance upper Director, Compassion in particular France. If your manager does not know the true self, we will not achieve any French noble.
