HAPPENING  RESIDENCE

RETURNS ON  REMOTE  TEST.

Animate  means  simply staying at a place, and at a  designated time  to  practiceand  practice . But stay still is a place to stay still but still mind. Therefore, when  livingin the law of the Buddha forbidden to  step out  of the school grounds, only when the urgent need to be  allowed out! ' According to the  Fourth Rule  ,  settling  in the rainy season in addition to avoiding trampling on young plants and insects, it is a  tradition , a custom that has existed since ancient times, as it helped the  monk to  progress.  in terms of  spirituality , Proof of the holy fruit . Beijing  rectification  Mindfulness  said at  times  retreat  during the rainy season, the  monks  except travel and  bladder , they  often  sat cross-legged  in one place to  meditate  on. ' .

Thus, according to  the spirit  of happy  retreat  is not just a  simple : head-in somewhere, then early afternoon  trading shelves , which is a process of  returning to rediscover  the mind  pure ,  innocent  of his. Wen recite back the  progress  , and also the obstacles that  affect  the  way  the search  of liberation ,  enlightenment . Whether a practitioner, was also  worldly  busy  impact  to  spirituality ,  especially  in urban areas. Therefore, residential security  is a demand  necessary , not only for the level  to practice , but increasingly more essential for both  your resident  artist  at home  want to  purify the body and mind. Normal  time  residential security  fix  for a  priest ,  at least  one month to three months. However , due to various  causes and conditions  and  circumstances  vary, there are many ways  to settle  short-term as  monks , nuns abroad in  circumstances  'most increase, most self' should each  Lent to a meeting of  the monks , 

But for a  layman  at home , they can not afford to  settle  for so long. A week or ten days is too long for them! The busy, anxiety  everyday  people  lay  in part in  making  the mind  they had been  defiled  much. In Angutara 1.6, the Buddha taught that mind is inherently  pure ,  clean but was  defiled , agitator perforated by the  toxins  that  we accumulate  in life  to live. Mind is not the  source of light, like  the sun ; Or as the moon  glows by  reflecting  light from  the sun , but the mind is capable of  reflecting the sun ,  the moon , and all the objects that are  appearing  on the surface of the mind. The  pure ,  pure  of heart are easily  influenced  by  nature  nature  of certain objects stir in the mind.

Lent  is  time  we  help center deposition,  dwell  in a quiet place with which to  return to  rediscover  the mind  pure , which always disturbed by  the sense . The  experience  with hearing and sight which do not come directly  from the  formula (consciousness), but due to the  exposure  of four aggregates: (body), feeling (sensation / feeling), perception (Perception), and practice (mental formation Along with five senses: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body (five senses). Function  of  consciousness  is to gather the  experience  of four aggregates on and the  exposure of the five senses to create an  experience  with  meaning , can understand. For example, when eye  contact with a flower the eye itself incapable of  identifying  it is a flower, which  is formless  must be sent to the thoughts and actions to  identify  and  distinguish . Particularly beautiful, ugly, likes or dislikes, it is necessary to  feel . Then, thanks consciousness  gathered all the  information  to create a  sense  have  meaning . Every  experience  in each contact  are colored by the mind  good or evil, and the reaction  of the feeling  that we have an attitude , or feeling  particularly  stir in floor sense  of themselves. These minds  can either purify or pollute the  mind . Every experience in each contact are colored by the mind good or evil, and the reaction of the feeling that we have an attitude , or feeling particularly stir in floor sense of themselves. These minds can either purify or pollute the mind . Every experience in each  contact are colored by  the mind good or evil, and  the reaction of the  feelingthat we have an  attitude , or  feeling particularly stir in floor  sense of themselves. These  minds can either  purify or  pollute the mind .

As Buddha in doing Anguttara, the  Brahmins  (Sangarava): ' For example , this Brahmin, a bowl of water mixed with dye Shellac, or purple, or blue or yellow and Here, a person with eyes wanting to look at his face, can not be  as real  , see. Also, this Brahmin, while the center was residing with  lust  invasion, was  lust dominates , not  realistic  awareness of the  renunciation  from  lust  has arisen; Meanwhile, he does not really  know and see  his benefits  ... ' Texts  continued to  impact negatively  the five  hindrances , or  five obstacles obscuring  the  pure natural  and  reflective honesty  of  the heart .    

Picture  a bowl of water is  polluted  by all the colors of the aggregates and the base is  the image  the mind is  defiled  by what it  reflects . The  mind  may reflect only   what  exists  outside. But because of forgetting the source, the  mind  is mistaken for a reflective object  . When  we settle down ,  we  stay in a place where the mind and body strive   to see the disturbances of  defilements and  afflictions . The Buddha taught  us  not to  seek  repression, Or suppress  these  defilements  , but must  calmly  observe them because they are only the products of the five aggregates when  exposed  to the ceiling and ceiling. Like  the story  one day  the Buddha  and the monks went  begging . After the Buddha finished eating rice and resting at a tree on the riverbank. Master  A Nan came to the river to draw water for the Buddha to drink, but at the river dock there was a herd of cattle passing through, so the water here was chiseled and dirty, can not drink. Thay  returned  to the Buddha to tell us about dirty water. Buddha told me to sit and wait. After a period  of time , the dregs settle down, Master to draw water to bring the Buddha to drink. Human beings that the Buddha said: My mind is the same. When the mind is muddy ,  polluted , do not stir, do not be impatient. Be calm  and watch over  them. After a  while the  heart will automatically  clean  again . As water in the river is  obscured , if  left alone,  the deposits will settle down.

However , to get the mind quiet  we  must understand that  meditation  shop, or  Buddhist concept  is one  method  to help the mind quiet as poem "Swallow Picture" (Swallow and Ball) of  Zen Master  Huong Hai  ( 1627-1715) , belonged to Truc LamMeditation  , in a  legal talk  with King Le Du Tong.

Tam mind to keep the mind, to swallow. No one is busy! When  meditation  or  Buddhist concept  we just  focused  keeping the mind is  equanimity ,  estate  from the  whirring  of  the external environment  outside as 'swallows do not intend to sign and no heart save water swallows the ball.' But in addition to silence, the  purity of the mind  is also  necessary . The  purity  of the mind should always be  considered. Attending  meditation  or the Buddha is the act of purifying the  toxins  in the mind.  

It is  extremely  difficult to prevent these  toxins ,  pollution  penetrated  his mind,  especially  as the  defilement  subtle  lies deep in the end  sense . Only the Buddhas,  Bodhisattvas , or  Arahants  have the ability to  eradicate  these  toxins  . However , there are many  disciplines ,  road  help  us  open source, open up every second, every minute to settle  the mind , sucking away the array  of toxins , And let the source of the mind be clear  again ,  free  from  constraints ,  greed , attachment. Our minds are returned to the   inherent purity as  we  filter out  water and let everything be exposed as they really are.

In the environment of  the world  of modern ,  residential security  is no longer the way in quiet a place to avoid stampede  kinds of  living beings ,  especially  in the urban, which is helping  us  to reduce  all busy ,  Revolve  in life and  return to  purify  body and mind , as well as find a quiet place  to  rest your mind, settle for both increase and continuity. If  the value  of the  dwelling  is advanced and   strictly observed , there is nothing to worry about. END=NAM MO AMITABHA BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH TAM GIAC.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA PURELAND=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.27/6/2017.
