Merit offerings

At that time the Buddha told Venerable Ananda: "You should know that, anyone, even a little bit cultivated fresh root, but never for a job that is useless! A man, even once incurred beliefs, Tathagata says, he will proceed to the end result nirvana religion. In that sense, the Tathagata would say for example to the young men and women there are good faith pure. "Ananda! For as the fishing, because the fish should want to have baited hooks, and drop into the pond to feed the fish. When the fish were biting the bait, at that moment, but it is still in the pond, but soon after that it will be taken out of the pond; why? Because the fish had been cut and hook! The fish was, but at that moment it in the water, but should know that, it's sure to be on the banks of the pond; why? As the rope was tied to the other question a tree on the banks of the pond, anglers just saw it knew that fish had bitten the bait, spinning reels went ashore, taking fish to use as you wish. "so then, Ananda! All beings arise credit reverence where the Buddhas, planted the fresh root, almond religious offerings to the play center is a belief; although there was the bad karma created obscured, must fall into place-hell, hungry ghost-devil, animal-born, and the place of suffering, but if you are experiencing times of Bhagavan Buddha was born, he used Buddhist perspective police, saw the beings who are practicing or Bodhisattva Vehicle, or Coast-sensory excess, or ADD-cultural legacy;these beings are cultivated fresh root, the other living beings, the end to take fresh root, fresh root with the inferior beings, beings have won tons of fresh root; have sown the seed beings holy ground sage, until once Development Center offerings field of merit where Buddha. Due to this fresh root, Bhagavan Buddha Buddha label used to observe the mind has seen him wins, he rescued escape the Hell, put ashore nirvana, then made him his recall already fresh root planting where the Buddha, the world in which, at the time. He recalled then, went platinum that: [Well, true, transparent Buddha!] Other Buddha said to him [men e Hey! He asked this fresh root is large fortune, is of great benefit. He planted almond base by cultivating healthy offerings to the Buddhas. Hey good son! How is he brought fresh root send brocade where the Buddhas, and the Leopard was never sent is lost; despite the long time spent hundreds of thousands of memories to do-tha na-life, the other with fresh root, make sure he would get to the end result nirvana religion.] "Ananda! Back to the above example, fish is the example for the ordinary man, for example, sea water ponds are mortal, hooks are good example for little apartment where the Buddhas were planted, the rope is the example of the four legal question win , the fishing is for example the Buddhas, arbitrary use of fish as for example the Buddhas placed beings in liberation nirvana. Ananda! The work progresses sequentially like that. Teachers should know, if offered to complete blessing Buddha, the apartment was good, though experiencing long periods, wear full never lost, it will surely come to the end result nirvana religion! "Ananda ! Lai said as another example, to see that, if filled offerings where the blessed Buddha, will reach nirvana First, the ultimate nirvana. Ananda! If there are people who love the earth, they will do the world to seek worldly retribution; of course it is. But, if they practice offerings to the Buddhas unfortunate that the fresh root was brought back toward the sun and fresh realms; or have fresh root planting where the Buddhas, then said: 'With this fresh root, I vow not to eternal nirvana.' Ananda! Both cases are not possible, because why?Ananda! Buddhas are unsurpassed field of merit. Plots that nothing dirty, no weeds, no thorns, no desire, no mistakes, absolutely pure. In such fields, only merit plant a seed, plant a little less fresh root growth is possible; but will, if cultivated fields where other types of growth can not be. "Maybe cultivated fresh root where three kinds of Bodhi: It's Radio-upper Bodhi, Bodhi Coast-sensory and Beef Thanh-cultural problems. Fresh root is planted three kinds of Bodhi where it is never annihilate. Birth Center offerings due reverence that believes, as predestined to rise to the upper realms of the fresh, pure elegant approach, and will definitely enter into the realm of Nirvana. "Ananda! For as he bourgeois farming, plowing his land to make real and clean, no longer these thorns, weeds, rubble, fertilizing the land is good for profits; seeds are packed in containers, he precious, do not let them decay. Go when the weather is suitable, he fell down the field sowing seeds, watering, careful care. Ananda! If he had to the other bourgeois wholeheartedly carefully prepared land like that, then sometimes a field visit, he stood on the shore told seed fields below the field that [seed Hey! Y'all do not seeds, not germinate, do not grow up! I do not demand benefits, nor demand retribution!] Ananda!How Italian teacher? He bourgeois other farming seeds can protect seeds not to do, do not sprout, okay? " Venerable Ananda Buddhist transparency: " Blessed! He can not tell the other bourgeois like that, because certainly the seed will germinate, the seeds can not fail. " Buddha said: " Yes, yes, this Ananda! If someone is very keen mortal retribution in the three worlds, but fresh root planting where complete blessing Buddha saying [With this fresh root, please pray for me not reached nirvana attainment.] Hey A Nan! He did not achieve nirvana attainment, maybe it can not. Ananda! He however does not seek nirvana, but fresh root planting where the Buddhas, the Tathagata says, he will definitely come to the end nirvana attainment; Whether someone arises only once the credit center for glass Buddhas, then with fresh root there, he also will certainly achieve the ultimate nirvana. "Ananda! In the future life will be a king of a local water wings. He however did not understand the merit and the Dharma of the Buddhas, but when I saw Vihara Buddha image and the mentality of instant credit glasses.Ananda! Tathagata had life in the year to cultivate virtues roads Bodhisattva, and sometimes have used four measures recruit is giving, loving, operating profit, colleagues, to convince other local kings border. Therefore, he had seen the Vihara and the image of the Tathagata, he immediately credits mentality glass; and due to this fresh root, he will certainly achieve the ultimate nirvana. Ananda! Other local kings border with courtiers, with the princes and lords assistants, have aggregate humiliated relatives and friends; after Tathagata passing, all that you see and iconic Vihara of the Tathagata, but did not understand the merit and the Dharma of the Buddhas, but thanks to a little apartment had good previous life, instant birth credit glass heart. During practice virtues Tathagata Bodhisattva, Tathagata also have used four measures that convince the win that position; and because this is based healing blessings, they will certainly achieve the ultimate nirvana. "Ananda! Tathagata long duration of mercy beings, always use four methods to recruit photographic chemicals, used the teachings of Buddha to nurture. "Ananda! Master see it! When Tathagata on the road, where it causes a raised land lower down, where it makes the low-lying high up, high low flat;and when the Tathagata passing from that place then, the mainland's high lowland back to normal. All the trees are leaning toward the Tathagata, the gods are bowing tree worship; and when the Tathagata passing from trees then stood straight back together.The mound pit, stinking unclean places, thorn bushes, sprawling brick, all make plain, clean, pure, solemn, stormed back with sweet aroma asphyxia, the brilliant flowers of all colors spread across the ground; Tathagata step on it and go through. "Ananda! Master see it! Tathagata merit capital of good practice, so along the way, no sentient beings that do not bow to worship; as the characters accidentally such as land, slopes, trees, herbs, where Tathagata passed, nothing is not leaning; why? Ananda! During Tathagata Bodhisattva practice well, for you teachers, Tathagata always leaned worship; for parents, the respected leading Tathagata, and always leaning worship; for goods an honorable old, middle-aged, teenagers, relatives, friends, Tathagata are leaning reverently; for Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Coast-sense, Thanh-writer, the good level of knowledge, both to the pagan row, the first witness in Kabbalah, the rows recluses, Brahmin, all deserve big crowds donations received, no one that the Tathagata is not leaning humble homage. Due to the blessings of the good karma that Tathagata attained Bodhi Radio-upper, Tathagata has become a Buddha; and where Tathagata go through, all the things, sentient and non-sentient, are bowed, leaning worship. Ananda!Tathagata had even brought the assets into the precious, pure, hand-tier offerings to the chief, and give to the other beings; by good fortune that the Tathagata road is flat ground, clean, no mud, no stones. Ananda! In the distant past life, where the roads that the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, good knowledge, Coast-sense, Thanh-writer, first and pagan gods usually come across, Tathagata ever cleaned up, no mud; Tathagata also cleaning and decorating the room for his amnesty. Either go whether standing where the Vihara of the Buddhas, the Tathagata often bring kindness, equanimity, low-interest is not high, not crooked heart, pure mind to clean up, make Vihara always clean. In all the time, often Tathagata attainment Radio-upper bridge Bodhi, is because all beings, because pity all beings, as beings make peace, because peace benefits for every sun, people. "Ananda! The relative merits of the Tathagata now a crucial, difficult to know, no short edge. Ananda! Tathagata meaningful to say this to the young men and women friendly arises a profound reverence for news Tathagata. Ananda! Princess Tu-di high mountains from the sea eighty-four thousand by-week, part deep down in the sea also eighty-four thousand by-week. Ananda! When Tathagata passing, tall mountains solidified his lord could not help leaning, let alone the black mountains, trees, grass flowers without leaning, maybe it is not. Ananda! Besides Princess Tu-di mountain was solid, there are high-mountain Setting sixteen micro-by-week and eight thousand, as well as solid diamonds, the Tathagata entered nirvana, the mountains that are leaning feast ; if we want to stay away, not leaning homage, perhaps it is not. Why? Ananda!During Tathagata Bodhisattva practice well, we all do business student, Tathagata are not shunned. The beings anger, conflicting, Tathagata make them blend; before they discord, making this Tathagata harmony. Tathagata make them dwell firmly in mind from the mind rambling, full truth, not ruined. Ananda! Because fresh root that Tathagata body can not get ruined, and relatives were also made permanent, can not be destroyed. Ananda! Permanent retinue of the Tathagata is the teaching here can not destroy, that is: four areas of contemplation, four diligence, allowed as standard four, five possibilities, five powers, the seven factors of enlightenment, eight principles and righteous actions. Ananda! Thirty-seven of this product is great assistant retinue of the Tathagata, the Buddha and the Coast-feeling restaurant, bar-documents are to dwell in it; all we heavens, who in the world can not spoil it. Why? Ananda! Because of this teaching that the Tathagata entered nirvana, all species in the world, from the gods, Pham king, Lucifer, recluses, Brahmin, people, Asura, for to Mount Tu-di, mountain Equipment-range, great earth, trees, etc, no species is not leaning toward the Tathagata, who can bring ruin mind? If there are those who want to destroy, it is impossible to obtain. Why? Ananda! The body of the Tathagata can not be destroyed, relics of the Tathagata can not be destroyed. Ananda! Tathagata mercy all beings, because of the prayers for-profit clinics should make this split as rapeseed, making Dharma save even more widely published. Ananda! During practice well Bodhisattva, Tathagata had a vow thus: [When I was a rank Supreme Awakened One, after I enter nirvana, pray for my relics stored announced spacious.] Ananda! Because of that prayer, so after passing the Tathagata, the Tathagata relics will be stored or distributed.The beings see Tathagata entered nirvana, the stock is holy, so, for mercy and the other beings that Tathagata makes this breakdown relics such as rapeseed. Ananda!Tathagata is the One Variable Tri Chanh, when the moment came to enter nirvana, because mercy beings in the world, and entered the three-soot, small relics classified as rapeseed, which itself does not have pain Tathagata clear; All bones are dispersed as small as a mustard seed, which the Tathagata is not painful. Tathagata mercy and life photography of other sentient beings, and all beings in the future life, make them be secure in the good way. They meet with respect, humility relics offerings; Using these floral, clothing, banners parasols, to solemn music offerings. Tathagata says that all living beings will certainly come to the end result nirvana religion. "Ananda! After Tathagata kill a hundred years, in a three-li-waving, there will be kings named A Du Ca, of the Confucian-deprived families, very private Tathagata glass, used exclusively to treat life teachings, for widely save relics of the Tathagata. The king will is up eighty-four thousand stupas to enshrine relics of the Tathagata. Ananda, the teacher should not grief! Relics of the Tathagata will be saved widely in rows sky, people. Ananda! Or have people present offerings to the Tathagata; or who, after the Tathagata passing, offering small relics of the Tathagata rapeseed; or who dreamed of Buddhist Vihara where credit mentality glass, Tathagata says, these people, so that fresh root, will witness the entry instructions ultimate nirvana. "Ananda! Buddhas born in the future life were proclaimed title and praise the virtues of the Tathagata, just as long Tathagata ever praise the virtues of the Buddhas of the past life. "Ananda! When the Tathagata says France, the sentient beings away from the ceiling, be legal proof labels. Ananda! The other living beings, during happy Tathagata Bodhisattva practice, are already mature before."Ananda! If filled offerings where monks and monks blessing the four winds, although may merit the same end; but offering where complete blessing pratyekabuddha merit it can not last forever, and offering where complete blessing Buddha, merit is even unable to end. "Again, Ananda! As previously Tathagata has said, merit where any donations yet complete blessing, are sure to lead to attainment ultimate nirvana. Ananda! Current or offerings to the Tathagata, or after passing Tathagata will offerings relics of the Tathagata, Ananda, if someone is thinking about all the Tathagata, even brought a flower spreading out of nowhere, Tathagata Buddha used position clear, fresh root of the other truly incalculable, not to exaggerate. Ananda! Man planted fresh root, the mind thinking about all the Tathagata, though only a scattered flowers on the vanity and traveled all this life to flow, from start to finish can not know the number of lives; while flows that, despite only spread a flower offerings Tathagata, his blessings for the same can not be said. He or she can do the Brahma King, Thich Thien Vuong, cakkavatti, but because the other units can not be healed the same advantage, so he certainly reached the realm ultimate nirvana. Why? Ananda! He offered great Buddhas Kabbalah a flower like that, there are huge benefits, countless blessings, greater accumulation of merit no short edge, measurement can not be assumed, will certainly reach the scene world nirvana. Ananda! Creators are merit where the Buddhas were not prevented her blessings, measurement can not be assumed; even once play mind thinking about Buddhism and believe birth reverence, Tathagata say that the person of dignity ultimate, ultimate peace, the ultimate end. So therefore, this Ananda, if your credit good men or women who want to do the lord of the earth itself as Brahma King, cakkavatti, or Four-kingdom heaven, heaven Dao-profit , sun Da-ma, Top-rate sun, the sky turned-optimistic, sun-turned-self-Tha at them with other disasters, and the dragon of them, labor-rub, sweep-her-beaver, a-from- la, la-ca-term, emergency-na-la, la-ma-so-old, who, not the people, it should be like that reverent respect Bhagavan Buddha offerings;if you want to seek the status bar-writer, Coast-sensory, or Radio-upper Bodhi, or credit you again that good men should be like that reverent respect offerings. "Ananda! In past lives, the Tathagata bridge upstream direction Radio-Bodhi, for countless hundreds of thousands of memories tha na-do-Buddhas, Tathagata has ever offered respectful reverence, is clothing, the formula dining, bedding, medicine; What are the types of garlands, incense rubbed, incense, incense sandal aquatic sediments, banners precious parasols. After killing the Buddha, Tathagata the temple tower is up, using spices, flowers, music carefully, reverently respectful offerings. This is because the Tathagata mercy beings in the world, benefiting peace to the sun every person, who has not been the cause of a degree, those who have been freed, the cause of liberation, the who have not peace, then peace is made, those who have achieved nirvana, it makes achieving Nirvana. "Ananda! Tathagata has ever offered advantages in flower-ba-la Dipankara offerings to Buddha, and thereby realize Tathagata born law-ring wheel. Fresh root is less so, but am not a small fortune! Tathagata due to rise in flower offerings to Buddha Dipankara and other little fresh root is great blessings how, Ananda, I want to know? " Venerable Ananda Buddhist transparency, saying ," O Lord Exalted! We want to hear. Blessed! Now just in time. Bent for teaching Buddha, Buddha has grown slightly fresh root where the Buddha which are blessings Dipankara like? "Then, the Buddha golden stretched out his right arm, using the little finger release heavenly fragrance of the flower-ba-la advantage, stormed around the world three great natural thousand Buddhas, pervades the place where memories hundred sun moon is operating. In between the rows sky, people and Asura, the Buddha presented the work out this unprecedented miracles. Buddha little fresh root planting where there are Buddhas and how blessings, He will make a full presentation, not frivolous, not omission. At that time, the Buddha said shelves that: "The Buddhas truly inconceivable!The teachings of the Tathagata, too. If you believe it 'inconceivable' There will be blessed inconceivable. A person undergoing immeasurable life, Giving for all beingsHave not thought or ideology; A spent countless lifetimes, offering all-chi Buddhist Cliff,The outflow level Arhat; A Buddhist offerings at How, or Buddha after entering nirvana,Although with one hands, Phuoc this message than the previous two! Precepts of Buddhism is not defective, is self-centering in the district now, labels do not see the Buddha clearly , transparent lenses no doubt true Dhamma. where tu Buddhas from the heart, day or night using some time, Offering Buddhas countless blessings, in the three worlds is nothing comparable. Experiencing life-an increase in the past, Tathagata Buddhas ashrams where, Served sun light, man, Tu excluding the number of good karma, should in the long term flows, Enjoying life blessings no end. Because it makes karmic fortune, as Career Enlightenment into hybrid securities. Tathagata as merciful beings, eternal happiness often religious offerings, boundless hundred thousand memories Buddhas. Buddha did not sign the Tathagata life. Exalted above all heavens, man, Know As Mixed fresh root is not enough, whether from friendly, not life characters.Tathagata still persistent patience, Meet at Dipankara Buddha was born, is also next Lien priority-three-la, visiting Buddhist Hair mud passing spread, be birth certificates wheel legal entry-rings. Germany Guru standing on nothingness, Tho Register for Tathagata, saying: [life after experiencing life aeons period, he will become a Buddha, Shakyamuni effect] Since then, now in circulation, Tathagata cultivate immeasurable good karma, bear hardships because injured beings, and because demand Bodhi Radio-upper. As the world saw only suffering, often Tathagata mercy alms, that Blessed Lord infinite truth of, nor Buddhas have said before! When Tathagata Bodhisattva practice, Date night tends to be the Buddha, to recite Anak offerings, boundless life memories, not number, one, two , three, four, five, ten, twenty, thirty ... every claim the name. Because injured beings that practice, Standing supreme offerings to the Buddhas. the Tathagata also ascetic, Step endure immeasurable miserable, Everlasting not give Bodhi Centre, All Buddhas do not match. When Tathagata vital flow, Having quit his first thousand memories, Skip national level, the precious diadem, Just because the bridge is listening dharma. Tathagata heart supreme legal requirements, profound joy difficult to describe, generosity, morality and tolerance, Effort, enlightened Bodhi fruit. the reign of the Buddhas not think, Was is up from the merits. Level speak Dharma is not inconceivable, revealing Bodhi also winning magic.END=NAM MO AMITABHA BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH GIAC TAM.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.2/10/2016.
