20.  The father of the  three.

This is one of  the Clerk of  which itself is  influenced  deeply  in  Buddhism . In our daily life  we  have heard many times about the  generosity  that we did not even  notice  . Buddhism  is the  religion of  compassion, which means  love vastness  of  us to all  beings . The main  Buddha  for  compassion  compassion that was  ordained ,  renounce riches  wealth, palaces, 

 So how to promote  kindness and  compassion?

 After the Buddha  attained enlightenment , he taught  beings  just  trying to extend kindness and  compassion as much as their own, which  method practice  is best  alms . Therefore, he has devised  methods  Giving Balaam honey with  the guiding principles  is to  practice  good thing to freedom for themselves and the people in order to help  us  have a chance to break out of  the cycle of birth and death  To reach the shore  of enlightenment .

 So what is Giving?

 Dad is the same throughout, as a gift, so  Giving  is everywhere, for  everyone ,  things  and  everywhere . Bala is  the other shore .

 Say so,  Giving  Balaam bile is a professional  practice  with  methods  of generosity because it has  strength  as a boat to take her and bring people from the  ignorant  to the brink of  enlightenment  of the Buddha.

 So  how  should  we donate  ?

 According to  Buddhism ,  G gifts  are divided into three categories:  Grant ,  French , and  Prison .

1)  Sponsorship is to bring money,  wealth ,  material  to others. Part  referee candidates  may be divided into two categories:

 v Noi resources: only about  themselves  of  us . This is  giving  the most beautiful high that only the rich  heart of  compassion can do that, because this kind  of generosity  requires  we  sometimes have to  sacrifice  the lives and  the lives  of her to others. There is a typical school scene in which  the  9/11 incident in 2001 destroyed two skyscrapers in New York. When two buildings this was still burning, there are so many firefighters, and police have braved all the dangers carried inside, run up the stairs to rescue the  civilians  innocent still trapped inside. And the rapid collapse of these two buildings killed hundreds of firefighters and police. Although they are  to implement  their duties, but with  courage  despite the danger, has  demonstrated  the  sacrifices their lofty for the lives of others and the  sacrifices  this is  Giving  internal resources so.

 v Foreign assets: are the animals  used  as  food , clothing, money, cars, houses ... when  we  bring these things to the  needy ,  the poor  , it is called  Giving  foreign talent. Although  in the United States but not the people  of Vietnam  always  succeed in this country at all. Whatever  success  more or less, all  of us  share a common  notion is shared, helping relatives in the  home . When they are  poor  , the help is  worth it . Help them have a piece of clothing, there is nothing to bless  . See a smile on the face miserable trifle  happy  to make with. This is not only  the alms we give ourselves  that we do  not know how much good karma , and it is these good karma that will help us  get out of samsara . So poet  Nguyen Du also has the sentence: This is not only the alms we give ourselves that we do not know how much good karma , and it is these good deeds that will help us get out of samsara . So poetNguyen Du also has the sentence: This is not only the alms we give ourselves that  we do not know how much  good karma , and it is these  good karma that will help  usget out of  samsara . So  poet Nguyen Du also has the sentence:

Although built nine rank  schema

Not a blessing for a person "

Indeed, the  work  of mercy  they know how much enough, but help those in  poverty , those who are experiencing sight needy, or the  affliction  is giving  us  the opportunity to promote  kindness and  compassion and Bodhi mind.

2)  French experiment :  we  are the students of Buddhism, then  we  should  try tolearn  to  understand  thinned  basics  of  Buddhism  because  the Buddha  taught: "want to  achieve  direct  fulfillment , we must first know religion , said new director and  spiritual advancement , have  spiritual advancement  new desire enlightenment ". Once we have understood the  Dharma ,  we  can bring the  precious teachings  of  Tathagata  to counsel others so that they may heal from  evil , And to live a virtuouslife  ,  we have  already  codified  them. French pilot  has  the value  of all  assets candidates , because  financing candidates  , only helping others in  terms of the material  in a  time  or a maximum of  a lifetime , while  French pilot  is helping to  respect the spirit , not own For the  poor , but for the  wealthy , the deprived. Because  we  brought  influences nice  to them, Not only in one phase, but also in the good news for generations to come. For all these reasons, we  never miss any chance to make  the French pilot .   

 Living in a  society  filled with  complexity  , but lacks  the moral  as in the United States,  people  had more  physical  but the  mental  and platform  family  is  deteriorating  dramatically , by  that of  filial piety  in the  family  not It was like back in  my hometown . To avoid these situations can happen in  families  of  us ,  or said another way is wanted  conservation background  culture  of traditional  ethnic Vietnamese, then learn  Buddhism  is a  finality  to can help us, but also can help people. Why can do? 
 
 

Buddhism  is a platform  of education  based on  basic  filial. If  we are not filial son, then how  we  can  become  the good student. We  often  recite: "Male tissue  teacher Shakyamuni Buddha," then the teacher means teacher, and  we  are  students , which means student. The good student of  the Buddha  must first be the filial son of  the family . You remember  the Buddha himself  had to hurry to  return to  visit his father when   he heard he was going to die. Not Buddha  when  the Buddha  He forget  parents  or  family , which he had  chemical level  for the  entire  family Shakyamuni , allowing each person  to learn  Buddhism  to yourself can be attained  nirvana as he dress. Remember  the Buddhist  monk who he witnessed. Buddha only was the  only way  for me to go alone, and not  the lead  us  into the Buddha is. The purpose  of the Buddha while visiting his father's last wish to bring  the teachingsmystery of him to  explain  to his father  understood  before his father died to have the been  reborn . The main  Buddha  has  proven to  us  that while he is Buddha, but he always kept full of filial, not only he gave  French pilot  for all  living beings , but He also original  French pilot  for the  parents  of Him. 
 
 

3)  War Invalid :  fearless  is not afraid. Pride  is to help others no longer afraid. Listen via the new  we  see her father This is important, but when  thinking back  then  we see that fear has captured more than half  the life  of  us . As a child, then  we  afraid of snakes, scorpions, or afraid of ghosts ... growing up, the fear of food shortages, lack of wear, fear of sleep, fear of failing, fear for not a  job , fear of lack of  fame career , fear disadvantage with friends, the elderly, the fear of pain, fear of disease, and  ultimately  the  fear of death . If you want to tell all your fears, 
 
 

 Everyday life has been suffering, and the more suffering for fear. So to make them out of fear is  that we  have saved them so much less the suffering in this life. The compassion of  the Buddha  does not hatch the  sentient beings  suffering from fear should have made   this fearless law  .

Want to help, before we all  have  to train yourself a virtue  do not be afraid . How does that  reach  this?

 When you understand the doctrine  of impermanence  of the Buddha then  we  are no longer afraid of anything, because if  we  are not  greedy  money , then  we  are not afraid to lose, no film  fame and  is not afraid of  disappointment , the  Radicals college  is artificial, should not  fear death . 
 
 

 With  that in mind  then, the  practice  by subject  fearlessness  might be ready to jump into the river to save people drowning, or bandits rushed in to save people  honest . 
 
 

In  short , a  practicing  insight , always brings peace, peace to  everyone , and  everything . 
 
 

But all  generosity  gives the same result? 
 
 

 We  all know that  generosity  is a  method  to self-level and  the neighbor , but if people  Giving  has  used the mind  is not  clear , the  jobs  they no longer  mean anything,  or said  another way is it There is no  good value  for  their generosity  . A good example  is if  we  bring money back to  Vietnam  to help  orphanages , 

 Only the  generosity  with  intent  clean , then that is  Giving accordance with  the meaning  of it only.

 What about the recipient? 
 
 

 In  the world  of this, no one can say is that they are full of things, if  lucky  they are full of  material , then they  lack  the  spirit , if this part, it lacks the other part,  to try the  alms  to them a clap on,  consoled , and bring their lives add  meaning . 
 
 

 What about donors? 
 
 

 Nothing  delighted  than see a smile of the people we help. Every time  we  bring  money  or  wisdom  of  generosity , then  we  have won hearts  of greed , selling lotus  selfish  of  us , and that is how to make  compassion  compassion develop a  good  one. More and more, every time  we  dare to  sacrifice  our  lives to save people,  we  have the  opportunity  to challenge life,  death , 
 
 

 If  we  argued  based on  reincarnation  Causation , whenever  we  bring material resources out  of generosity , then  we  've  automatically  created for themselves a good Buddhist's called  merit . The very  merit will bring  riches  for  us  in the afterlife. Many people  go to pagodas  to pray  for  riches , or for others to count the night, looking for riches. They do so because they do not understand  the teachings  of the Buddha. If we  see someone  now  that  wealthy  wealth, is  because  a previous life they've created a lot  of mercy  so that this life  of mercy  bring  them. They do not  have to  go to the temple , or they do not need to  calculate the night, the  rich still hung around their door as usual. 
 
 

 Those who bring the  Fa  help others, they have sown themselves a lot  of merit . These  virtues  will  compensate  for their  wisdom  in the  next life . In other words, if they do not escape from the cycle of  reincarnation  , the  afterlife  they will be the  smart  peaks. 
 
 

 Finally, those who  practice  pilots fearless  , the  afterlife  will give them a healthy life and  longevity .

 Says  short ,  Giving  Balaam bile is a  work  sublime, both of whom the king of himself, and it is a friend to bring  us  to the brink of  enlightenment , from  positions ordinary  to  fruition  Bo -turn off. 
 
 

 Why a body that has  seven gift  Giving?

Buddha  replied  that "if such participation is  giving , not taking sharp eye as good and beautiful objects are excellent weapons  alms . Ears hear such happy woman  cantor  sing the Buu hearing  alms . Nostrils not take slightly fragrant smell is incense precious material is  alms . Not taking the fat tongue is the precious sweet tasty  alms. The body did not take dressing  nice  is a precious touch  of generosity . Italy did not  join the list  interests,  sex  sex  is a legal precious  generosity . Before not take these  pleasures  in  the world  is precious Buddhist  alms .  

V All  beings  have  Buddha nature , but why not cultivate not Buddha?

 The Buddha said: "It is not  impossible to become a Buddha , just because of   a lot of karma . Why? Being born  from  ignorance  crazy island  from nowhere  to now , not planting the good but only to create  negative karma , unjustly tie each other, professional pull together, this side will not let go, the other will not release this side, As a result, the network of karmas is full of  the world , so they often enter the three paths of the six paths, meet each other to eat each other, swallow  the  words never ending. Although  encountered in the Dharma , but  the  dark  foundation, the shortcomings of the husband, the path is difficult to develop, not to become the main results. 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.29/3/2017.
