Trust me to cultivate.

 "Disciple us, though thousands of miles away from me, my mind thinking that religious world shall be enlightened. Conversely though guys beside us that evil is never mind enlightened ".

Cultivator without faith, the religious hard to come to full closure. This belief is chief credit, believe in yourself and not believe blindly or being forced to believe.

Buddha once said: "As not arrested anyone to believe him at all. Hear what the Tathagata says, meditate, practice shows have practical benefits and trust and to Tathagata ". Obviously Buddha who believes in him is not mandatory and come to Him at all. Many believe a shallow, stubborn to believe canteen without consideration for what you believe is true or not?

Buddhism teaches karmic retribution justice. All that we have today are from karmic or past lives or in this life. No results from the nucleus without. Also, in our study can not be given by anybody. His goodness created the fruitful be happy, wants to end the suffering, do not produce germ human suffering. Remodelling the bad things, industrious good deeds, reports good results obtained from elaborately practice, will give us confidence, understanding and enthusiasm.

When there is confidence from his own elaborately then, we endeavor moral progress. More and more contemplative religious teachings, the faith even more firmly. So if the pale romantic retreat, no practical results, it also will not have confidence. In the said: "Faith is the mother of the merits".Conviction truth once enough, nothing can make it hidden or lost filling is. So Buddhists we have built and fostered a solid faith in religion. Tin with wisdom, we come to religion by wisdom by understanding. Not understanding that comes, this faith is called superstition.

A trust is not built with wisdom, through the ego that has empathy, godliness, then this faith too easily shaken. People of the world to the family, friends and everyone around us, once lost faith then life also disoriented. They fell into a sudden state of media, there is no ideal life, lose the fulcrum. In Buddhism does not accept children who live in a situation like that. So we must build our faith firmly. That belief is to believe in the Dhamma, can believe in the ability of the Buddha himself.

Buddha all things are impermanent. Learning through understanding, through life experience, it is clear that it should be so confident. Is important because experience itself, we see the Buddha was right indeed should we believe, because also find themselves so well received. It's called real conviction. Once you have confirmed the same, even if the sun moved earth shook, we still believe.Cultivator without confidence in the Dhamma, very easy apostate. You listen to Buddhist teachers say they believe morality, but in later heard someone outside say something weird, immediately left the former chasing the latter. Who go to two or three steps, three steps backward two as long as it arrives. It's a long road and not directed short anywhere. So Venerable often reminded us, must give rise to a new permanent school far away to place to place is.

Faith like a watchtower at the root. Usually the king or the vital organs, people build fences goal back, then put the original in a watchtower. Blockhouses must be kept confidential, the new permanent guard infringing crooks are inside. If the watchtower is not guaranteed, then the bad elements outside intrusion into disrupting everything. Likewise, non faith, experiencing what is shaken, not keep up disoriented stance and as a result led to the failure.

Returning to our study, if you want to do what the faith is to follow the teachings of the Buddha, his nest. For example, lay the refuge, sex life over the years. Thanks in this way we get the results should benefit peaceful life fun. From that merit and faith arise. I was determined to such practices, which go on step by step by step. Although there are obstacles around, we still go, make sure to arrive.

Speaking of Buddhism is said to cultivate the mind, that is her convent in his heart, no one stopping. In his wandering, then initiates a complaint should not blame the other person, so that the practice of obstacles, but no one makes his heart jump into it. Many religious decades without knowing anything. Heard cultivate the mind, "Yeah, cultivating the mind", heard the nursing nature nursing nature, meditation also heard of meditation, one half mast to the small mountain passes as well keep going. Actually not known should not happen at all.

We can not practice like that, to be revised. Tracking one step observe his practice work in three now. What thoughts, relatives do, to say something? What we think, do, say that with the right approach or not, right then continue to do, not right, leave immediately. To practice new steps so-called autonomy. Like here, Venerable Nuns put into a mold, caring teaching reminders, instructions, step by step from the first stage to the last leg. So much attention to such cultivation.For example, new people meditate, Venerable taught only sit for half an hour, then gradually increased from half an hour to forty five minutes, an hour, an hour and a half, two hours. Such step by step guidance to ensure continuity.

People with the practice under such a platform, will certainly shaken hard by other temptations.Suppose that your meditation practice has undergone a process from strangers to acquaintances, now have to say "I meditate for an hour can fly up past damage not know the future ..." I remain calm, nothing wavering. Because I went through that stage, then, was the detailed guidance of teacher organizations and this experience is over. And hearing they hear but nobody did affect my daily practice is. It is the firm belief. This belief stems from elaborately practice that out.

During the meditation, the Zen master would teach ordinary mind is religion. Q What is religion?Normal heart. Everyday moral life like? Do not let the mind from wandering. Living in the normal in the current, in the continuous operation of the law without being wrecked before, lucid consciousness, which is faith. Such persons who live with firm conviction. We thought religion was something in the sky above the clouds, only to highlight his new Bible, also part of his wealth. Thus ourselves losing its most valuable. In fact directed at the side watching us, but because it's so close, so I do not see, do not recognize. As I sit here can make the garden look far to tens of meters, but the nostrils before my eyes did not see. Because it's too close, too often, so I did not care.

Buddha said, too, Buddha nature lies within each of us that I did not recognize, just running around, up early to the mountains, looking for teachers to find organizations give. Such mistakes were then known ever received. So practitioners to be alert, not to reporters turned her out again, then do not lose your new. Reflections House said autistic meditation, ie to consider taking their rotation. Tu is doing very normal things, but in the spirit of sober wisdom, not delusion persisted.So when I say tu easy. Since we are still working normal, just do not run under the grace is sufficient. Yet many people do? Because I despise the being close by so not interested in it, so that eventually lost.

For example, according to the schedule, the morning you can sit, eat, work, lunch break. Afternoon study or meditation, chanting, meditation and rest up. We are normal, no problem. But if it was not faith to his chanting busy hours, with guests, to find time to meditate back pain tired, instead of sitting meditation meditative his lies. Time to eat, say eat well. So its going to disturb the normal.So who hold, regularity of normal, to try to eat at mealtimes, to break on holiday, it is known practice and closer to religion. But what difficulties there, right? In his unusually difficult to see. So Team Sengcan said: "martial nan, only simple trạch hostility," that is the ultimate place of religion is not difficult, just afraid of people or only choice.

The basic work starts from the little poems, his halting walk, her mother, is not it just guidelines that did not go myself, risks stumble, I can pick yourself up. That is normal. Likewise, the practice not expect to have a certain powers always beside, their wait is supported falls. Do not expect the same, but with wisdom, with his arms legs, stand up for ourselves. The only way to ensure that is possible.

In Buddhist teaching: "Faith is the original religion, the mother of the Lord, do grow all the fresh measures, eliminate all doubt, manifested opening statement supreme religion." Faith is the root of religion, is the mother of all the virtues, as I said, do anything without faith is not anywhere. As Buddhists go to temples to hear French, worship Buddha, vegetarian a few years ago, but no precise knowledge about the religion. Someday hear people say vegetarians beware cancer, quit instant panic. I decided to give up quick so elaborately lost years before. That is because faith has been shaken. Impermanent world, we elaborate how much that has not been to give up the practice unknown to never complete. Time passed, no return, the practice without a firm belief they merit how can it be? So it says: "Trust is the foundation of religion, the mother of all merit", distrust is to lose everything.

France's Buddha though many, but just to master a method will be enough for us to cultivate it. As Thich Dai Mai Mountain France Standing in private only one sentence "Buddha Mind" of Matsu stop, which he completed the university, enlightenment within one lifetime. If determined that the current protection do nothing to shake us up. For example, we are practicing meditation, but meditation heard crazy, I still normal. Why am I normal? For I myself am meditation here but there's crazy. True cultivators maintain normal level of trust people have permanent, unshakable stand. Fun is not too happy, too sad not sad, not too full to eat, sleep too much, not to say more, think more, take more. Talkative, the spirit sink, tired legs go much, much thought is chaotic.

The autism often reflect, reconsider his inspiration. This monks, Buddhism Vietnam Tran Dynasty so be especially prevalent. Reflections of autism, which is looked at himself, not passive, not run to the outside. Rotate your left to do? To see the bad, then fell back, left. As a little less talk, less work involved around a bit, you will feel lighter now. In short self-employed relfection to three now, do not make mistakes. That would not only cause human suffering created, certainly not asking too hard, ultimately happily.

Buddha says in the Dhammapada "Self victory is his most glorious victories". Winning hundreds of thousands of the enemy is not the great victory, but his victory the new self who is feat. Self winning is winning something yourself? The victory of his bad habits, things too far, disturbing diffusion. Enthusiastic too well rammed into negativity, worry too is born afflictions. Something moderate calm, wanted to know where the world should stop. That's what people know us into war, when progress when quitting, per each are smooth, trendy right time, not backsliding called outrageous.

Confidence grows, all the fresh approach being, eliminate any doubt. Beijing says "Trust solid, structural heart apart, clean except arrogance, born of respect. Legal News is the most treasure. "Meaning those who have faith solidly negativity, all thoroughly clean, reverent consciousness Jewels. So believe treasure most. The policy of the provincial Buddhist am not mistaken, and were dragged by the phenomena around us. Members of the faith who will minimize confusion Bothered, the insecurity in the hearts.

Defilement not come from, but from within us arises. So says his focus is practicing clearly seen stable arrangement. Say what caused instability yourself for who they are not talking. What influence do their best not to, then we do not do. His heart was this just another job, how turmoil in the morning. List out what should not, is not important, the key is not the practice of the set aside, to the provincial center in the morning, then a new affliction was no place to plug puncher.

Who found spiritual heart, one must have faith solidly. Confidence from the knowledge that, moral experience that out, then new practice center. Practice to do? To become a Buddha, to end suffering is funny. Buddhists pray the Lord Buddha pagodaless practice play for fortune fortune is contrary to the spirit and morals that. Development Center Development Center initiates here as a Buddhist, give rise to enlightenment. This center has hard, because to accept losing all his refund the Buddha himself. When the mind back to permanent sensing field, but can not be neglectful be.

You see just play mind nuns ordained hair loss is all gone. The first knife Duty counsel to top teachers with word of counsel that this hair is contaminated, the worldly, the front axle afflictions. I do not shave themselves, because what he now stripped for. That speaks sense once we have found the retreat center all relations generally from families to friends that cross cut off, not like before anymore.

To the second stage, give rise to cut off all the sex in the world. This phase started difficult then that. Families rope attachment is an emotion difficult to leave the pen. As they say mother born child is cutting her own nipples, very painful. This emotional tie to bind themselves from public life now, not easy at the moment that would be cut off. Have not had any clear cut is the same intertwined lifetimes, so the Buddha said beings in samsara misfortune is. Want to become a Buddha, but also bring ropes this style sex sloppy too, messing buddhaland pure capital where it is not. So then, but stick ordained too, must make the Buddha back to his hair plugs only.

The ancients incredible intelligence. When I knelt down begging hair brushed, and he said it was the job of his, that because of his I shaved for, not coercion. The later you do, then do not coal, not to say defamatory good to hear! That is the deterrent let Him hold initial mighty heart. New Muslim religious definitive saw as much, after this time tomorrow weak pain, for stories about family visits. So gradually rot Bodhicitta, alone "tu tu by where the house, Honor your father and mother rather than a monk." Done a lifetime. We have too many arguments that the United States, so the Buddhist path is not difficult to become difficult.

Go to the next stage, the practitioner is of the Tathagata death row Interest should have severed all ties in the three worlds, called out the secular part. This phase is more difficult, as skeptical as ever, this life do not already, then do the next life, as long as until then only. It means never completely mastered himself, no longer stuck in any law, either the world or the Earth. Difficult it is difficult, but we do, rather than can not do. How? Made of intellectual eye.

Intellectual eyes mean? For example, he heard beautiful, now we do not see with the naked eye look with the eyes of wisdom. Seeing that the human body is formed from a variety of factors, coated smooth leather exterior but inside blood fishy foul, not to mention the generally inert valve phlegm secreted excretory organs. Find where to try out beauty. Looking increasingly seen as formidable, how that body is captivating. Such human body, our body is no more, then it really is your mortgage, it's important that you do. So thanks to the wisdom eye, we can see where the nature coast, not real, of the body that leave be lesbian. So from the beginning there is so hard!

Then, with the eyes of wisdom, we see life is impermanent, still dark early loss. Short lives, without effort moral progress, a demon of impermanence tomorrow to demand the network, how come hand in time. Road before dark, now immense knowledge, that much sooner fend hatred then it was too late. So people who have intellectual insight, farsighted, prepare yourself to go into hiding place of peace, do not panic insecurity in life and death. So if well-known, the cultivation can be done well, do not know it themselves by putting their sufferings on paths only.

Tu is correct. Fix what? For example, too much loved in the past, now revised, injured just had finished. Back then his affinity for the dead what is under it, now has just revised liked it. In the past I hate what bring life to dead labor, now revised to hate a little. When my family was like the high door wide, to wear good food, now being revised everywhere, whatever delicious food, as simple as possible. Practice times such times, certainly sooner or later we will reach the shore Nirvana liberated, no longer immersed in the suffering of birth again.

The reason we suffer is because not let go, which just added to accumulate. Eating a meal to spend hundreds of meals. Nearly dead asset wealth has not finished, die placement unease. Final moments which aroused attention from wandering, it pulled away immediately, while panic, dark consciousness, enters the abdominal skin trick horses suffering even more suffering. In doing this can tell the story.

One day the Buddha went begging, horizontal home a very wealthy layman. The landlord was away, the dog barking in the house see the Buddha. Buddha said: "Do not let go is because of greed, brought hairy body, are kept of such that no province, was to do evil." The dog heard the sad spring, is shrinking not eating anything. Bosses go see his pet dog sad spring, asked the Buddha knew it causes anorexia quit drinking. He news too, went looking for Buddha. Meet Bhagavan, he immediately asked loudly:

- Recluses punch! My dog ​​housekeeping so good, now how does it upset him to stop eating, I caught his temple there.

Buddha in order for him to finish, then calmly explained:

- The dog that she is his mother. Days before his mother is dying, and the wealth to the jars buried under the bed, not promptly told him. Because nostalgia mind, one is fond of him, is the quotient of the two should now fall to do is keep the dog's body to him. He did not know his mother to suffer any annoying, loud even with the Tathagata! If you do not believe, he dug under the bed for up becomes clear.

Listen to this, he too ran home crisis, according to the Buddha said, he dug under the bed really see the gold urn is still there. When they do, he was crying and begging to Buddha teaches how to save her mother. Buddha taught him what had long been the now open. The dog was the Buddha open market, it realized it should have escaped animal life. He about burial and Development Center offerings, transfer merit giving him to his mother. Also expand your heart, do not be worldly attachment property anymore, do good and avoid evil. Such should not expect future suffering.From there he became head of the Buddhist author faith fortified and very powerful protector.

Such a clear cause and effect, raising the centromere is not good idea, it will be forced to clear in the three worlds. Venerable so often reminds us that the word must, must understand Buddhism believe correctly, then gradually applied in their religious lives. Applicable, have to be meticulous and practical benefit, this is not comfortable. Said message out, said Development Center, the preparatory phase, now we have started to do. Want to practice for what to do with the results? In the teaching:

"Religion does not form, said empty vain, players need to practice criteria, such as dust wipe mirror, mirror light, immediately found his ball. The practices that stopped training and certification is not, true religion is presented ahead ". These are very simple teaching, but also crucial. Speaking to practice their religion, Buddhism for example wipe the mirror. Mirror for a long time, outside the dense dust should mirror blurred, now say wipe the mirror, actually dusting. Who knows who knows religious practices dusting, daily news every moment of every hour to wipe clean all the dust on the mirror cling heart afflictions. Blow dust and then self light mirror, do not add anything. In fact, since the mirror does still am now, but because we do not see the dirt so the light emitted outside. Now wipe the dust off the right example.

Religious practices too, the reason we recite the Buddha, chanting, meditation is because the enemy harassed chaotic negativity too. Want peace, they must borrow it means to mess column whirring mind again, do not let it run out again reporters. When these delusions were quiet then, the true inner self is, where to where to bring. However, if we do not cleanse negativity, not to them slang quiet down, he can not realize his true face is.

We train, practice their religion, do not give rise to problems at all. As existing marshes in the shadow swallows flying over, Swallow, every airline flight, it did not mean saving the ball in the swamps. Swamps in the present, for every existing swallows balls, no balls care about anything.Thus both the dress and swallows are heartless. We, too, in life there are countless things to do.Buddha allowed himself to do but do not cling to it. How calm his heart like water in the lagoon, things come and go, do not save a trace. Our current efforts in the sky, the water in the lagoon, so you are wise people.

We train is brought back to normal initial minute casual when birth parents, not calculates busy inside. So meditation is often mentioned in the "Children's unfortunate he" is. Do not immerse in advance, do not arise, do not be conservative, do not have children of her. From normal that they see things is to open up the horizon, we see religion. Morality is not outside the normal ones.Seeing such, speak, do, eat like, think like, walking diplomatic contacts are all like that.

The reason for her doting, dotage because recite repeatedly on the external image. People must open, let go of all, do not let obstacles anything. That's how the best practice. Going know me, know I eat food, the body has already said it would damage, known as such, do not immerse before, no problems, do not rely on others. Such as the right to know the truth known. This was not one for themselves, but on their own to build, cultivate yourself, faith themselves, on their own development and practice center.

Finally I borrowed his teachings to end today's lecture: "Disciple us, though thousands of miles away from me, my mind thinking that religious world shall be enlightened. Conversely though guys beside us that evil is never mind enlightened ". This question leads us all to realize that, though now his Buddhist way too far, but if practiced properly, the Buddha's teachings as well as close to Buddha. We practice the faith they will reach a certain religion. That's called a grateful and thank the Buddhas newspapers.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.5/11/2016.
