What makes this ministry took only concrete? Kinh Tong only consists of four things and be included in the eight-digit "Hieu Dao, crockery, Bat Suffering, Bao An." Eight words tell you anything? It is the "fine work filial" - filial morality with their parents. If he knew, then heaven and earth to piety keep shining brightly. It makes moving heaven and earth is also filial piety, should say: "" Heavenly place hospitable weight, or first taste "(heaven and earth are seriously filial piety, hospitality is first).
1)  Hieu Dao . The word "hospitality" is extremely important. Just have a word "hospitality" is the whole part is still fun, cozy. Structure:
"Hieu being filial mail upon completion."
If you filial piety to their parents, the later your child will also agree with your taste. If you are not filial to his parents, then your children and will not be filial to you!
Why do we have to learn how to make people? What do people mean? Someone said: "I made a confused person like this is done well it!" Saying so is not! The duty of the workers who are to be filial to their parents, because parents are heaven and earth, the chief, and also the Buddhas. There are his parents; if no parents, I do not get this body, without this body to cultivate, I will never become a Buddha is both! So, want to become a Buddha, the first is to be a full taste with their parents.Thus, only the first tone is "filial"
2)  Do Sanh . Cardboard second only this sutra is "Do Sanh."
How-called "high-born"? From this side reached the other side, called "degrees." From birth to death to Nibbana also known as "high." From the negativity that is Bodhi also called "degree." "Pure being" here means sentient beings. "Salvation beings" is not only at one or two people, nor three or five people. "Beings" is the escape all twelve kinds of beings. Must give rise to all living beings instructive, causing all beings are soon to become Buddhas; like new called "beings."
3)  Suffering Baht . This is the only concrete Tuesday. This ministry has the power "clean spit suffering," an end to all suffering except beings.
4)  Press newspaper . "Security" here is the thanks repay birth parents nurture.
So, eight letters "Hieu Dao, Bat Suffering, crockery, Bao An" is the only concrete Earth Treasure Sutra. If too much detailed lecture, so I only mention the critical points; after understanding the gist, you'll be all smooth.
Mention of filial piety, many people immediately think: "I have to go to servant, signaling the parents!" But back home, met his parents, they never change back now, forget about filial duty . Why do they forget? Because they do not understand the true filial is like. Dharma practice filial ie rightly said about the skirts around the new parents are filial, then on to the house, forget filial duty! You here studied Dharma, learn to be good - this for the world is good. Beneficial to the world is also signaling that parent.
"Hieu" is divided into four categories:  Elementary Hieu, General Hieu, Far and Near Hieu Hieu .
How known as  "Little Hieu" ? "Elementary Hieu" is to piety within the family, ie only filial to his biological parents, not filial to everyone, not get immense filial piety, generosity.
"Hieu Quang Dai"  is what? That is  General Hieu  - filial with throughout the galaxy, to see all the parents in the world as his parents. This is called filial with everyone. However, General Hieu was not a true filial piety.
What is  "filial righteousness" ? Only when you have a new Buddha called with true piety, is the  "Truth Hieu".  This is a true filial, ultimately, surpassed the other four types of taste. Shakyamuni Buddha old, although his father did not allow renunciation, want to hold on forever in his palace, but he fled the royal city, sneaking off to practice renunciation. After six years of uninterrupted asceticism on the tops of the Himalaya, he had become a Buddha realization Path under Bodhi tree.Then become a Buddha, he is coming heaven to earth, because his mother that preached. You see, it's simply not true filial stars?
How is called  "need to understand" ? Imitate the taste of modern lice, learn filial piety to their parents - it's called the "need to understand". Structure:
"Far Hieu, Brand U thousand shares;
Hieu access, contemporary brand U ".
Far Hieu  is the mirror filial generation were all handed and follow; also need to understand the contemporary filial. Hieu access can also call the Elementary Hieu, although there are some points of disagreement. Far Hieu is eternal filial, typically Nhi Thap Tu Hieu (twenty four tastes mirror element) of China. Mirror their filial handed forever, save thousands fame to future generations.
Nhi Thap Tu Hieu In Chinese there is a gulf stream. East bay, also known as homophones, is a cootie hospitality. East Vinh very poor family, home deflicted scene; His neighbors also is the United States was very rich and prosperous. The mother of filial gulf stream thanks to a healthy glow; despite his advanced age, but still flexible and always cheerful. Meanwhile, the mother of United States despite the abundance of money, food full of great food, delicacies, but sickly skinny, and looked sad shirt brain, such little playful serene .
One day, the staff at the gulf stream and the United Kingdom were not at home, the United States new mothers to play the mother of the gulf stream and asked: "Do you also have a high age, scenes of poverty back home, not boost your health, medicine, but why she always looks happy and healthy? "
Vinh Dong's mother replied: "Because I am very filial son. It does not dare to do anything bad, very honest proper, diligent work; so I'm very happy, no worries or anything upset at all. Perhaps thanks to relaxed mind, in my heart at ease, so the body is healthy, sir. "
Then she asked the United States's mother: "The wealth that the other sister, eating is full of great food, but why so thin?Her sister was thin as a reed, with what disease? "
United States's mother sighed: "I do it? Rich is also rich in it, eating is also full of delicacies, newspaper supplements; but hardship faced naughty boy, do something unlawful whole, makes me very sad. Today crime, illegal tomorrow; Today is not wrong dental hunt, then tomorrow's order also covered the streets demanding to interrogate. Kept me from morning to night so that low aromatic anxiety, how much food is delicious though not swallow down, not happy. By all day every rueful sorrow, so I increasingly emaciated, sir! "
"Hieu" although there Far Hieu, Close Hieu, General Hieu, Hieu Elementary, but if it comes true filial piety, the practice was to later become a Buddha so. Today you stay studied Dharma, not give up on, so that's the Truth Hieu. True research, practice new Dharma is the proper filial, most ultimate.
Why is it called "Kshitigarbha"? "Land" means land, and the growth of all things. "Tibet" is the museum, which is the treasure.The word "organ" also means storing, hiding. All treasure all things, all things which are buried underground. Bodhisattva is like this great earth - can grow all things, have boundless Buried treasure that everyone can be unearthed. He who believes in him will be part of the treasure. In this treasure, what is there, even the famous precious things such as diamonds, gold, silver, lapis, crystal, nacre, .... What formula do not lack a. If you get a diamond block weighs about three hundred pounds, you will become a "great Dives," the richest man in the world! Just heard me say to the diamond "three hundred pounds", the more people laugh, that's too big! In fact, it is the smallest park in the warehouse there; also the largest members are afraid that you say the unpopular! Because there are enough fine virtues mentioned above, so this Bodhisattva whose nickname was "Kshitigarbha."
"Bodhisattva" is Sanskrit, means "charming sight," ie a person in the ranks of enlightened beings. Re also means "charming sense," ie people that after enlightenment, immediately bring your things out teach attained, making other living beings as his enlightenment. This is the "self-discipline, sense tha" - after himself awakened then, it may all beings and enlightened. Re also called "self-interests, the benefit of others" - get yourself great wisdom, and they may all beings are also great wisdom.There is great wisdom then no longer the crazy anymore.
"Primordial" ie those vows which Bodhisattvas Stratum already established from past to present, not only now established."From past to present," that is, from when? From countless lifetimes ago. In many generations in the past, he had this vow, so-called "volunteer duties."
In Twelve fertilizer ministry has, recorded the incident in our past lives. Likewise, "volunteer duties" current is Earth Treasure Bodhisattva vows which he had found in a previous life, not only in this life. In this life he only repeated and continued implementation of that vow only. His vow like? He prayed:
"Hell is not empty, I decided not to become Buddhas;
Of all sentient beings, I experience the Bodhi. "
If all hell is not empty, still sinners, He resolutely not a Buddha. Only when completely empty hell, not even a shadow of sinners, he became a Buddha new. You think, this vow of how large? Stratum Bodhisattva vow: "I vow in hell to guide all ghosts. If the preta-suffering will one day not be happy, I have not one day become a Buddha. Wait for all the ghosts in hell are liberated, fun-suffering is right, then I become a Buddha. "
We try to think, now being created is infinite, and endless sorrow; Hell then how can it be at the end? Unless negativity and karma beings are eliminated, then sew the day hell are empty. Yet, karma can not eliminate beings, negativity nor be annihilated, then how could hell be empty?
Vow of Earth Treasure Bodhisattva, in the opinion of the philosophers and scientists today, affordable is a foolish idea and also the most foolish behavior? Why do they think this is a thought and most foolish acts? Because this incident occurred which could not be - hell never be empty at all! Then he permanently Kshitigarbha no chance of Buddha stars?
Not so! It is not an ideology, and the most foolish act, but rather a thought and bold acts of compassion, as well as an ideological and extremely dutiful behavior. Why say it is a thought and behavior filled with filial piety? Earth Treasure Bodhisattva, after observing and knowing his mother was hell, suffered anguish, came to pray for the Buddha super hull form.
Stratum Bodhisattva is someone real? He is the Sun Say Ma Ha Moggallana, prayer in hell as a Bodhisattva. Why he wanted to do Bodhisattvas in hell? Because he understands and sympathy are all suffering which his mother had endured, should he think: "If my mother suffer so, all the mothers in this world will also suffer like "so he uses the mind to piety equality, non-discrimination, that the escape all beings in hell, causing them to be happy-suffering. 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.16/3/2017.
