Know what's good benefactor.

• When your esteemed benefactor, their new offerings. Therefore, you should have the gratitude, appreciation, which for a decent practice.

• As you guise, frugally, to dare to dedicate themselves to the work of the temple; outsider they look you will notice that: "The true monk touched me, because they know their dedication Act, because the temple ..." and naturally they want your offerings. Thus, the invisible medium, you have the them, heal them in fields planted merit basis. This is the French missionary, born so beneficial!

• The convent suffered extreme suffering, not attached to the notion of "I" and "mine," and then like grooming disabilities birth to a beautiful, delectable dining, and want everything to be convenient comfortable, well-off. Body wear brown casino for clean, presentable is enough; by monastics who live too happy, so enjoy it at home does not want the latest offerings! The convent which said polar bear, tolerate suffering life, the new benefactor admires, wants new offerings. Life just got fed rice with warm clothing is quite enough.

• The renunciation: Credit pedal land trial, the first trial sworn of credit, all the contestants wear body, mouth benefactor offered meals, sleep lab building owners. Just as every day you get a hundred coins religious merit. Whenever you launch the concept that the mind itself the impure mouth, then thirty-deductible, co. Add to that the money is worth eating at thirty, twenty refuge currency contracts, currency worth fifty dressed contracts; a total of one hundred and thirty coins merit. Here, you practice making merit a day is not enough to pay the costs; then you also have merit for? Credit master indigestion offerings too!

• Want to Increase-union stately, dignified myself right. At any place, at any time, I also have dignified. For example, when litigation, if one sees monks, nuns extremely dignified, then they will naturally being free for Path of belief, and not Buddhism is considered a negative thing anymore.

B. Entertaining followers

• Bodhisattvas are beings who, so I have the good grace to wide beings. Currently I live, when people bow to me, is you have to try to improve the affinity with them. Seeing any believer, you should also welcome, greet; but not part coast (emotional tricks to earn private benefits), not drain high conceit, that "I was ordained, and the only man at home!" You must understand that all the costs of daily living such as food, accommodation, clothing are my benefactor donated by that place!

• When a married person with benefactors bad, you do not have to be affected person, making her also married with contestants all bad. You must have the ability to identify left and right themselves self-employed; because we need the affinity wide.

• So said: "The success Buddhist, the causal priority"; ie before the Buddha, first of all, have the good grace to everyone.

• When the temple devotees, take strategic use good words to entertain them, to invite them to worship Buddha, eat, walk around the temple considered. That is the good conditions, and also the way to practice. The most crucial thing is not to present a high bar set looks, "this is our teacher." That is not religious at all. Believers who are practicing, you are practicing the right of the Bodhisattva Path. Do not cultivate something bad behavior; to set a good gesture. When there are dishonest to the temple, you do not pay attention to y is done. Do not be so nagging, do not curse others skeptical. Practice to practice until they have wisdom; that time, everyone hit something, you also penetrate right. Then, say what you can say a dung. When I was standing then, others will do it, but being free to accept you happy, but you also do not create karma.

• Devotees carry items to the donation, it is because they want to bless. So, whether small objects such as a blade of grass, you must also fun to receive. If you see them bring back the good things offered, then you are born greedy, then you can not be enlightened Path. When there are stupid people bring food, bring you back for delicious cooking, it is both blessed and favored fellow! If you are not able to respond appropriately, by contrast, just blame the benefactor had donated food spoilage; well, that's your self you create negativity and verbal self alone!

• Whether it's family or his relatives to a meal temple, I should advise them to make offerings to the temple for their lunch money with the right concept (of cause and effect, karma.)

• You rambled, trade all living beings; and I think that they are one. For all the renovation and re-cultivation of virtue; I have to take the Bodhi mind, compassion towards them true.

• When someone is talking, you do not interrupt or interject said. Finished talking, I say; It is called politeness. When the application to talk to the benefactor, you should only talk about Buddha-law. When they want a secular talk, apologize, saying: "I do not have time, invite you to the Buddhist ceremony, or walk for a walk." When meeting the bad guys, you do not pay attention to is the best medicine; because two different currencies that strikes must surely tinkle!

• Relations with the life: no more than they just socializing only. So, when you next to them, you have to know the mind of autonomy, always with the Buddha-law (enlightened). Not so with the secular discourse about life. Bring the Buddha-comparison approach.

• Speaking of parallel farce full of Buddha-law will help people hear negativity.

• Without saying who practice Buddhism-law, how the conversation went; What then is the duty of renunciation? When the religious but also secular talk of life, ie he has not been continuous air passage (mundane routines); How can we care enough to the table as the word "practice"?END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGHTFOLD PATH.NAM MO SAKYA MUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.10/10/2014.
