Lead to the Surangama Sutra.

---

Before preaching the Shurangama Sutra, I summarize the relationship of the Sutra to the Tripitaka, with its precepts and the way of establishing. This is how the monks in China lectured on the sutras, often analyzing the discernment in each sutra, what kind of sutras, and how to compose sutras. In addition to the five sets of Nikayas, there are many other sutras, but the meaning of it is identical to the message makes it difficult to understand, so they analyzed the teachings in the sutras, ie system it into each system. The division of doctrines into new ones seems to be a separation, but careful study does not separate them, but there is also a definite line between this doctrine and that of another.

The previous example says that the Five Jewesses are purely the Hinayana, the Divine, the Sanhedrin, the Sutras and the Bodhisattvas. But when we recite the Buddha's teachings, we find no such separation, yet they say that there are other doctrines, other divinities, And Bodhisattvas legacy is different. Since then, they have delimited the boundaries of each of them. For example, what is the essence of the Hinayana, the divine, the linguistic bar, the pratyekabuddha and the esoteric Bodhisattva? Of course this is the main doctrine, not the catechism, because in the doctrine as well as in the dharma there are dharma and dharma.

For example, the Six Elements is about six degrees in which one takes a degree while the other degrees are secondary. At the present, the Bell is the main Bell and the other degrees support for the father. Tu Bat Bat is the level of Bat Nha as well as the other levels support for Bat Nha, not a private Bat that attainment. In the Buddha's teachings, too, the Buddha's teachings are throughout the essence of bringing sentient beings to enlightenment, but applying it depends on the different faculties of sentient beings, so doctrines are also fundamentally different. to apply. In other words, divide by the Five Jewesses is a divisive one. In many ways, there are many ways to judge according to the way you see each of the teachings.

So before entering the Sutra, I would like to say the connection between the Surangama Sutra and the Three Sutras. Tripitaka is the Sutra Pitaka, Vinaya Pitaka and Commentary. The Sutra talks about the Four Noble Truths, the Twelve Causality Causality, the Impermanence, the Selflessness, the Nibbàna, the Nibbana, the Three Laws, etc. Thus, when talking about the Sutra, it is about the generality of things or about The doctrine. The Vinaya is the storehouse of the prohibitions, the precepts, the practice, the body to keep the body for the purity is the Vinaya. The Abhidharma is a treasure trove of essay essays, aimed at explaining Sutras and explaining the Law. For example, Good Thought is a Law, not a Sutra. In addition, there are many other commentaries just explain the business, business excerpts so it belongs to the Abhidhamma, because it has reasoning. In the Buddhist scriptures there are times when the Buddha has reasoning but very simple,

So this Surangama Sutra for the Tripitaka in which organs? Of course, the Sutras, not the Pitaka or the Vinaya. But actually in the Surangama also has a paragraph about four three blades, so the Surangama also attached to the Vinaya. In the paragraph refers to seven places, 10 phen only show, in which the Buddhist interpretation of the response, the argument between the Buddha and Nan Nan also it is involved in the Abhidhamma. In summary, the Surangama Sutra is also attached to the Vinaya and the Abdomen.

Now talk about Judaism. How is the judo? When the high Indian rise there is no judiciary, but only the Chinese in the Buddhist view of Buddhism in accordance with their understanding of what kind of teaching the Buddha should be called teaching, that is, A part of the sermon of the Buddha consists of what. There are many judges in this judgment.

Firstly, the Bodhisatta notes that "one of the Buddha's teachings is" the most preaching of the Buddha, "the teachings of the Buddha are from a single disciple of the Buddha, not the doctrine of another. Because the mind of the beings hear and understand differently different teachings. " It is the teachings of the Bodhisattva of what is known as the Most Venerable. Y of the Bodhisattva save that is the base where the Mighty Sutra "The Buddha's most common sound is the sermon, sentient beings of the type of award."

As in the Lotus Sutra, the teaching of the Buddha is profoundly miraculous, is utterly impossible. But what is impossible to save the sentient beings, so the Buddha as the means of the "strain language, race conditions to teach sermon." So, while the Buddha is depending on the means, it is based on the basis of sentient beings such as this or another, but the Buddha wants to bring "Theory of the theory" only.

Second, he said that in the preaching of the Buddha there are two: "one is education and two are teachers," the main teaching is Huayen. The Buddha says that causality is dependent on interdependent origination, necessarily necessarily, necessarily first. That is spear. Right where the word "instant" we see the spear and not the word, "literate", immediately heard. Defilement Bodhi, birth and death Nirvana, the word "instant" is meant to cut. But beings are not enough to hear the teachings, so he said the shop, for example, the person in his ear speak slowly slowly, who does not hear his ears faster, depending on the basis of beings that have shops, . So He said the Buddha's teaching has two parts: 1. Precepts, 2. Teachers.

Third is the Fire God, formed two spears are "self-taught" and "semi-spear." "Semi-self" is a teaching he said half a word, not the whole word should be semi-spelled, while "self-taught" is his teachings have spoken the whole word, the sentence. What is the teaching of "semi-spear"? Is the doctrine of the destruction of human beings, is the doctrine of human beings, is not complete, must say no human, not French or not born, France is not all new is not. Saying that the five aggregates are not self, not to say that the five aggregates are not self, is not, so say human is not new half-words, must say the new not called complete text "self-education." Thus dividing the doctrine of the abandonment of an opinion or is not enough should be called "semi-spontaneous", until the dharma does not destroy the ceiling, either ignorance or ultimately, destroy all 3 or, Then clean the unconscious now. Supreme Bodhi, this teaching called "complete self-education," the teaching of the whole word. That is the teacher of the Thunder Dam.

Fourth, Shakyamuni also created two sutras: "Three Sutras" and "Mostly taught" as the Lotus Sutra.

Fifth, Xuanzang set up "Three Teachings":

1. Conversion of the dharma: the teaching of the Buddha as the four, 12 conditions.

2. The law of rotation: is about the Mahayana sutras such as the Mausoleum, Ma Ma Ma, Secrets of evil.

3. Legal Dharma: such as Flower Adornment, Nirvana, Lotus.

Sixth, the Bodhisattva also established the "Three Cetasikas". Tam Buddhism is: Basics of Dhamma, Dhamma, Dhamma rules. The basis of the Dharmakaya is that He wants to say: The Buddha says the Flower Adornment, the principle of the origination of the kingdom, the most legal world that is the basic doctrine of the Buddha, the Buddha said many but ultimately also the basic doctrine, So say the base of the law. But because beings do not enlighten the basic doctrine, then he depends on the basis of the scriptures, the other teachings. And the fundamental teachings that say, it is the Dharma wheel.

The last doctrine is the Blasphemous Assumption, which brings the Chih-i teaching back to the root, which is the Sutra. In the three Dharmas of the Buddha, the Lotus Sutra of the last emptiness, compared with Hsuan - Tsang on the other, said that the Dharmakaya also pointed out the Lotus Sutra as the last Sutra. Therefore, the last sutras with the sutra which the Buddha preached, are the basis.

In fact, the doctrine of the Lotus Sutra and the Sutra of the two sutras are the same as the original doctrine and the last doctrine. This is also the teaching of Tiantai. Many of them in China accept that judgment, but based on history, it is not suggested that the Huayen Sutra speaks originally because of the precepts of the Falun Dafa in Deer Park. Not lecture, so the Buddhist Hua Say Buddhist time? Or the Buddha said the Flower Adornment for the Bodhisattva and Divine Merits in the Dinh? This is the Mahayana view.

After all, the origin of the origination of the phenomena has been raised from the beginning before the transformation of the "Four Noble Truths". After the enlightenment, also sitting at the Bodhi tree, the Buddha said: "This law because we realize very profound, difficult to understand, super-reasoning, sentient beings are attached to craving, craving for love. How to see the theorem of Dependent Origination. When the Buddha came to Deer Park for the five monks to change the wheel. (The theory is said after the director, he had the Lotus Sutra in the Bodhi tree, but because of the basis of beings do not understand so he had to silence to wait for the Four Noble Truths Dhamma Dhamma for five brothers Kieu Tran Nhu).

I think that the meaning of the Huayen scriptures is very broad and deep, not just one or two sentences as the Buddha said first: "This is because we realize deep profound Miraculous, super-reasoning, people are craving for love, craving can not understand the reason of separation. Or say: "This one should have that". Then this sentence is not the Buddha has said in the Origin of the Originator, in the United States economic, the new explanation of the Origin of the new explanation. But whether deep or wide are derived from the Buddha realized. So let's say that it is understandable that the nature of the pratyekabuddhasaka is the first teaching of the Buddha, which is the basic doctrine and also depends on the basis of being which he speaks narrowly or broadly. Ok

Saturday is the magician level set up "quadrangles". What is the Four Teachings?

1. Generosity: that is, while the Buddha speaks of A Ham, to destroy the si ego mainly to break the self but not destroy the ego. Just as it has been said before about the five aggregates, the aggregates of the five aggregates, to show the aggregates, there is no one in them, if one accepts that we are one, creates greed, creates karma. That's their interest. And the nature of the five aggregates is nowhere, false, as in illusory, Tanh, in A Hammer said only a verse: "Quan quan color as conceited, as life as mercury, Act as ba, the method of not falling self ". Therefore, the Master for that doctrine is called the General.

2. Unconditional: ie only the Prajñā Sutras, necessarily not, that is, neither dhamma nor dharma.

3. Convergence: only for the United States of America is the decree, conceding about the first half, is the assumption, is to become a means of converging on the first.

4. Permanent education: business Nirvana, Buddha only on the permanent nature of Buddhism. Often the Buddha teaches beings have four crazy island: Impermanent that they are often called crazy island. Selflessness is selfishness. Impure is impure is crazy island. Suffering that accept is crazy island, must understand is impermanent, suffering, impure, not self is not crazy island. In the Nirvana business Nirvana, there are four virtues: Often, lost, fall, net. We have to understand, forget, fall in the Nirvana is often different from the ordinary beings, the other self beings fall, the other beings are incompatible, the net other beings net that the noun is the same. together .

Often we say the Buddha's teachings show that the reality of things is impermanent, suffering, impure, not self. Consciousness of four minds: the body is impure, life suffering, impermanent, the law of non-existent Quan Quan Xanh thought of the land must be consistent, consistent, Get it! In Nirvana business there are four virtues: Often, the ego, net, it is borrowing expressions Nirvana. The Buddha not only said Nirvana is to eliminate all greed, but he also said Nirvana to speak a word, think the new generations understand Nirvana. As in the Nikàya Buddha also said: "Nirvana is where there is no space, no time, no birth, no death, if no such a way, ". In this sense, one must understand Nibbana more positively. Understanding this is to allow us to communicate the doctrine in this sutra with other sutras. Many different nouns, but if we try to compare, will understand the correlation between them will find the corresponding content. In the Nikaya Sutta, the Buddha says that our realization is the realization that we are not enlightened, not taught by the teacher, ie Unitarianism like Zen teachings expressing nonsense, spontaneous or hybrid nouns. Here we see, words but different but not different. Unfamiliar if not only the page layout, only the mind? What is the mind like? Being self-realization, is due to realization, not taught by anyone, not based on anyone's mind. In Nikaya the Buddha is very clear but in the Sutra, there is also the word Siddhartha, meaning is not the same, no different.

The eighth is the Hien Prime Minister, established the "Buddhist time". What is "Tam time"? It was the time: "Japan is the first painting high." This is, for example, the time of sunrise to describe the time of Buddha's sermon. In the first period is the first painting of high painting (the sun when it first rises on the high mountains), but not low. At that time, the Buddha said the Flower Adornment. Cao Son here is saying high base. The second time is "Japan promoted highland": that is, the sun has risen over the land of the Great Indians. The Buddha said the Mahayana later on all the radial projection of the base, the high is the only high, low, medium, mountain also, the river also, the plateau also, the valley also, Show all over. That is the central time, the Buddha said enough business such as A Jamb, Equality, Mahayana.

The Pentateuch is to divide the Buddha's doctrine into five characters:

1. Therapeutic Teachings: Teachings like the Four Noble Truths.

2. Meditation: There are two aspects, namely, Prajñā, Prajñā, and Meditation, which speak of Wisdom, ie, the general form of all consciousness. Why is it called? Because this teachings only began Mahayana teachings should be called.

3. Teaching is the final teaching of Mahayana. This teaching is only for the business as the Old Tomb, Surangama, Lotus, Nirvana is the common teaching.

4. Dhamma: is the doctrine of no second class, only speak directly of true nature, as far as the coast. As the Buddha "As clear as free as the Buddha," leaving the coast as the Buddha.

5. The Teachings: This is the only teaching of the redundancy of the Flower Adornment. "The most necessary, the most precious". As the tree says, regardless of whether the leaves are round, distorted, high, low, long, short, black, white, large, small round in the tree meaning, so called.

Say what, this Surangama business in which doctrine? In the Surangama Sutra there are teachings: "Permanent retreats chastity net identity," which is the general teaching is the complete teaching, in the end. Or there are "crazy mind blowing, exhausted Bodhi"; No time waiting, no time gap, no space, no time to clean up hysterical mind that time is mind Bodhi, it is dear teacher. In the Surangama also have the sentence: "The most immeasurable, the most immeasurable, the most vague, the ceiling", especially the immeasurable, immeasurable one, on how many hairs appear The water realm is the Perfect Teaching. The most infinite innumerable infinite is the meaning of "the most necessary, the most precious". This is the Teachers meaning that is also meaning in the Surangama,

Ninth is the teacher of Tathagata. Most of the sutras in China are largely based on their own judgments, and the Tathagata of the Apostles establishes the "Eightf magnitude". What is the time? Hoa Nghiem is the first time: "Hoa Nghiem evening blindness (Huayen Buddha said the first time in 21 days.) It is also the first painting high painting, The second time: "A double function" is the time of the Buddha said A Jhara in 12 years, A time such as the sun rising to the sun, the sun rising to the dark places. Three times the Mahayana, as the Buddha said the Sacred Scriptures, Tombs, Surangama, for the moderate medium, for 8 years as the sun rising to the plateau (sunrise high projection plateau). The fourth is the time of the Prajna, "Nhi Bien Nhi Bat Talk"; (22 years of Buddhist talk about the Prajna) as Japan promoted universal, the sun rising high over the earth. Fifth time: is the time of "Lotus Flower Nibbana". In 8 years say the Lotus Sutra, nirvana for the upper reaches, such as a high-painted roof, when the sun goes back to the high mountain. That was the year set up by Tiantai, whose poem on five teachings:

"Sun flower three-dimensional,

A junction, bowl,

Dmitri Sultan Baji smug talk,

France, Nirvana celestial bowl "

What is the Eighties? The content of the bowl? Eight batts have four chemical and four chemical. What are the four senses? There are four teaching rituals: cutting, salon, secret, uncertain. The term as mentioned above, salon is the sequential teachings that enlightenment, the basis of which only follow the teacher, not follow the spear. The basis must be gradually tu, segment or gradually, not follow the spear. The "secret teacher" is the Buddha to hear what he hears, he told the machine that hear, the other is not heard so called secret. Fourth, "uncertainty" means the same doctrine, but each one differently. In addition to these four ways of chemistry are four chemical: organs, pine, granules, tablets. The content of these four are the Buddha's teachings. The Tripitaka is about the Four Noble Truths divided into four categories: the Four Noble Truths, Say no other killings. The Four Noble Truths speak in other ways, speaking in other words. Y said that since the Buddha's Dharma in the garden of the Deer to say the Lotus Sutra just say the Fourth sense, nothing else. But the characteristics of the Four Noble Truths are different, but the four are: theology, theology, theology, the teacher. Sanh kill the Four Noble Truths such as craving is the Noble Truth, the dharma is the cessation of craving, the ultimate destruction, such as the destruction of the Noble Truth to kill the other, this should kill the fourth birth, for. But when the Buddha said all due to causation, so suffering, set, kill, the director is also charming, charming birth is non-nature, no emptiness is not born, should say no four. The Four Noble Truths are not suffering only eight suffering, but also many other suffering so called immeasurable. To not only say craving, ant or private or only but immeasurable.

In short, all the teachings of the Buddha talk about the Four Noble Truths, but the Four Noble Truths are different. So when we say chanting, the Four Noble Truths become "Nibbana, Bodhicitta, Bodhicitta" in these four. In Nikaya there is a saying "no, formless, undifferentiated" is not "nirvana, nirvana," but nothing else.

Say so to know the Surangama Sutra in the place of any of their judgments? The Surangama Sutras of the Sutra is sure, but the contents of the Surangama are talking about the four realms, so the Mausoleum is part of the law and the main seven clearly see the argument between him and A Nan So it is also part of the Abhidhamma. It is about the three organs, but about the same way of teaching, but because each person in a different way of Buddhism.

If we immediately look at the business, we see the Buddha right where the hear or know the day of beings that indicate what is the mind, what is the mind. When you have learned the mind in the place where you hear or know is called the enlightenment; Y according to Enlightenment that the practice is called the practitioner; Cultivation of achievements is called a witness. Witnessed the message, is evidence of universal tolerance dissatisfied, unscrupulous. This is considered the entrance of the Surangama. END=NAM MO AMITABHA BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH TAM GIAC.( TNCT ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA PURELAND=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.5/7/2017.
