"Bodhisattva thinking like that is fully six three-la-confidential legal, near Tat-so-fast course. (University Main, 8, 91, summer).

Joinery products operating  in  the bowl-elegant Sutra  book told roughly 17 business like this. But before bringing chapel of the eighteenth was the prime years of Kabbalah water, with light split into two chapel, a total of thirty voluntary; Here are the two different business.

Comparing this  optical Zoom-elegant bowl  and  bowl-elegant executive director  in advance, you can see some additional voluntary prayer is twenty four. Furthermore, the meaning of prayer also implies the ideal direction. Ie in the bowl-elegant business executive director  stated, when the Bodhisattva crashed tiger, wolf, to make voluntary domestic animals do not have sugar, but in this business, by extension, no three evil ways both nouns. Again, doing before just saying Bodhisattva vows in countries without stealing, killing, but said business fell from to treat each other as parents, brothers. Beijing said last natural food full drink; This experience, not just food but also said clothes are also natural riches are full. Kinh said no prayer before the epidemic; this prayer said three structures in mind no.

Through reconciliation, we can see the meaning of the vow of expanding. Not only so, but doing this vow: "In my country there is no distinction four castes, distinguished to-coward, high-low, racism. In addition to the Tathagata Dharma King Beings no monarch noun; There is land in the country is flat, formed by pure gold, no hills, pits, spiky, poisonous weeds; pure realms dignified, no unclean, the people are so turned born, not born with pregnancy. In no evil country to gather, no second redundant, no rooftop chronic increase. Everyone attained in Kabbalah, body glow, full university's thirty-two generals, life span and are not limited, to fully see the increase and aspirations towards idealization.

Although we do not know who compiled  optical Zoom-elegant bowl  in any era, but in prayer in the  bowl-elegant executive director  to the twenty-nine implemented voluntarily; this needs to undergo long time, maybe this time initiated the era of Buddhist prayer pan A-cattle and Buddha-momentum.

Purification buddhaland

As mentioned above the bodhisattva vow is created realms Buddha Bar, is the Bodhisattva new mind arises in your heart; then the Bodhisattva diligence diligent practice to achieve the goal. But truth can not only his capacity Bodhisattva that realms done first Buddha Bar which need to combine our efforts have been taught beings can achieve. According to  the Pure Land Buddhist country  in  the bowl-elegant Sutra  vol 26 record: "Bodhisattva shuns such crude Industry Minister, himself giving alms teach others also. Beings need food to eat, the Bodhisattva for food, they need clothing to wear, so they need the money to live, Bodhisattva have them all, and teaching others to bring wealth father candidates. Whereby, Bodhisattva with mercy beings together, dedication to the Buddha pure. Bodhisattva morality, patience, diligent, meditation, intellectual as well as such ".

Bodhisattva want pure tectonic buddhaland must purify crude Industry body, speech and mind their own business and also to purify crude body, speech and mind of others; is himself and ten of them did not do evil that good practice ten, separated from greed, hatred and ignorance to the center; six legal acts themselves are often three-la-density, such observance of the law minister properties, understand the legal nature can not, bring merit willingly dedicate to the Buddha. That is to say: "From the Bodhisattva to beings, the same tectonic forces buddhaland now".

Again,  the Buddha states  in  economic Duy-ma-hard  upper atmosphere recorded: "On the Pure heart of the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva became Buddha, all beings are born not put water on his plane. Pure heart is the Bodhisattva, the Buddhist Bodhisattva of full merit beings are born of his realms. Bodhicitta is the Pure Land of the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva became Buddha, all beings practice the Mahayana, the birth of the country of birth of his realm. The legal charity, morality, patience, diligent, meditation, wisdom, four immeasurable heart, four photographic methods and means, the directed thirty-seven, until ten are Pure goodness of Beef slap, the Bodhisattva became Buddha, these beings full achievement of such measures shall be born in his realm. Therefore, the Bodhisattva wanted realms pure, his heart must be pure, according to the Buddhaland pure heart and pure ". So, Bodhisattva Buddha Bar tectonic planes, first to purify his heart.

Pure Direct is from the mind, heart of the Bodhisattva, until by ten good achievements that are clearly interested in being there live ten good practice can be born in the realm of the Buddha. This is like  the bowl-elegant Dai  said, proved to be by purification of the crude industry body, speech and mind of chemical energy [7] and base chemicals [8] can purify Buddhas.

In  the bowl of Guinea-complete Buddha ,  the Buddha of A-National Animal  lower volumes recorded: "Question: Bodhisattva cultivate virtues that are born to the Buddha A-cattle? A: Bodhisattva must learn Buddhist A-animal, while his former religion Bodhisattva needs six legal practitioners of infinity ". This meaning also.

Therefore, the Mahayana Bodhisattva are recorded in the hard crystalline countless lifetimes conducted six three-la-secret method, then the newly Buddha in Buddhist pure realms dignified. Teachings of beings so that they are as Bodhisattva. When body, speech and mind pure indicative of the need to be diligent mighty, undergoing a long time to be effective. If the law only according origination e that enlightenment can not become a Buddha but certain to undergo such a long time, the reason is that this.

Buddha Bar is created and public realms way feel now

Thought buddhaland probably lead to pure communism way feel now. Based on the chemistry of the Bodhisattva and our mind, the departments of chemistry pure beings are capable of pure tectonic buddhaland.  Luan University-she-sa spleen  volume 134, also notes this: "If karma of being in this place is the world's growth; that, plus all the world now havoc ". Based on the power of karma beings that created this world, meaning suitable buddhaland purity. Although the world for me-she's karma by beings that constitute growth, but it is certain to create Pure must have a direct, voluntary and must have power of Buddha in that realm centered ; this is different.

Liked the episode corresponds to  section 3, 3rd in  Great location Comments  written: "Bodhisattva capable buddhaland tectonic calm, achievements beings. Head of the Bodhisattva corresponds No, never obstacles, teachers of all beings, making them practical and legal ten wholesome goodness; because being healthy should practice pure buddhaland; because they are not killing should be long; because they do not have robbers should buddhaland always rich, joyful, contented desire. Beings such good practice is to create dignified buddhaland realms. Although beings to do good, but also to have the virtues of the Bodhisattva, the strength media should dedicate buddhaland pure; like buffalo car, the driver must have come to the new. "

Buddhist vow world in  the preliminary Like ,  Comment Great location  7 record book: "People do not pray are not being targeted, as the coachman pray to be able to accomplish etc ... Again, the large stately Buddha realm, if only as the faith is impossible achievements that require volunteer force; like cows, but likely drag car, but the driver must go to the new place. "

As good leader in a village leader, a town is an example for everyone. Also, people in the village, the town should most actively do good at the same time, do mercy; still have to have the direction of the village head fervently, chief town. Buddha Bar, but thanks realms karma of body, speech and mind turned that facility being visible, but the steering is a vow, dedication, effort means of Bodhisattva truly indispensable. Otherwise as ox-drawn vehicle without the driver is not able to go to places, solemn Buddha realm as such. So says the vow of the Bodhisattva in the Mahayana is particularly important. Great bodhisattva vow is founded are based on this sense. END=NAM MO AMITABHA BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH GIAC TAM.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA PURELAND=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.9/11/2016.
