DISCUSSION ABOUT THE GENDER. 

Translate

The Sanskrit precepts are called Ba-la-nom-ruby. The three Buddhas have been enlightened not beyond the world. It should be said: "The man who broke the precepts, called monks, who do not break the precept called the heathen." This is the only people with the same gender does not take the gender. Reconciliation and rebellion also called monks; The whole life of the pure precepts, again persevere! So the present Bodhisattva took the (world) that birth; The future of the monk is due to (liberation) that liberation.Sutra says: "The precepts are like the land of peace, and the things that are good come from it. About as medicine, healing diseases.About like a pearl light, or break the dark. About like a boat, or take people through the sea. About like strings he lost, dignified body. "          

The guilty must repent, if not penitent, the deeper the crime.This phenyl lost, not want to live again. Today, security, tomorrow is difficult to guarantee. Should keep this law, through birth and death.Worship the Buddha as a teacher, first must follow the rules. Ancient people said: "Through the river to use rafts, to shore without a boat." This is the ancient rule of the boat. But this man did not take a boat through the river, but came to the other side, so little.

Lecture 

This article is short but very essential to lay people and monks.Because the cultivator must first receive the precepts. At home, life expectancy, the monkhood is the world, or at most two hundred and fifty precepts of monks, or Bodhisattva precepts. What is ordination?How weak on the way? He explained to us:

"Sanskrit Pure Land called Ba-la-topic-carpentry", this is the sound translation. Balajas are for precepts only. Precepts are the prohibitions of the Buddha, from the layman to the monk must live properly, so call it gender. Gender is forbidden. Why did the Buddha prohibit those things? - It is because the Buddha's compassion forbids us from suffering. I, for example, parents love children are wild, scared son so not to smoke, drink alcohol, gambling, drop out of school, etc. Do not forbidden. As a child wants to be good people, people or in society, parents are forbidden to do bad things. The Buddha looked at us just as our parents looked at the child. If it is not forbidden, it is not afraid, it is not afraid of suffering, so the Buddha issued a ban. The layman must keep five things, and the monk must keep ten things, two hundred and fifty things ... forbidden ie forced, which is required for what? If there are five families, two things are good:

1. If the family keeps the circle of five, the family is happy, the life is quiet, the future death to ensure the return to be human and be happy. Thus, in order to make our lives happy in the present and in the future, the Buddha is obliged to keep the precepts for himself in this life and the next life.

2. The Buddhist monk arrested must hold ten sex, two hundred and fifty gender to spend so? Because the renouncer does not think, do not want to be happy, but want to be freed in this life and the next life. Liberation in this life means that this life clean all defilement, the next life is liberated birth and death, so the Buddha arrested more, to go the right way of liberation. In short, because we are still confused, the Buddha wants to keep us safe on the path of spiritual practice, should arrest what the Buddha found harmful called gender.To keep the precepts, my life will be well and tomorrow will be well.Therefore because of compassion Buddha must hold the precepts.   

Here he leads: "The three Buddhas of the Buddha was not encompassed beyond the world." Three Buddhas have been enlightened disciples must have achieved the results of full enlightenment, not accidental. .

"Should say: 'The man who broke the precepts, called monks, who do not break the precept called the pagan.' "This sentence is new to you. Why do people are breaking the precepts called monks, who do not break the world called foreigners? The following sentence he explained: "This is the only person who is ordained with a non-ordained person." The person who has new life has committed, has called new breaking the world. If not, do not commit, do not commit, do not break the world. He concludes: "The precepts and then rebellion also called monks, let alone all the pure precepts, again persevere to preserve." That is, the precepts, and then abuse, also called monks instead, The world is so pure that you know how much!

"So the present Bodhisattva get (gender) that birth; "This means that the Bodhisattva in the present time using the law that teaches that the birth ... in the future, the Buddhist monks also thanks to liberation. Such benefits or self-interest must use gender, no other way. For example, we teach Buddhists to listen, Buddhists understand the religion and develop the mind, then we have to teach how? - The three Jewels and the five precepts. So Buddhist taught the five precepts to avoid sin, to get rid of the negativity, to be healthy, should say to take the world to birth. We want to liberate, we must also take the precepts as the basis.

The introduction of business: "Kinh said: 'About as the land, want good things from that birth. About as medicine, healing diseases. About like a pearl light, or break the dark. About like a boat, or take people through the sea. About like strings he lost, digging dear. "Thus the means to bring us to the place of peace, to bring us out of suffering are all from the world. How do you feel right? Here I, for example, laypeople only hold the five precepts: not killing, not stealing, not sexual misrepresentation, do not lie, do not drink. If you keep the five precepts you will see much suffering.Because not killing is not resentment; not stealing from scorn and from prison; no one is afraid of cheating and do not lose credibility with others; Do not sexual misconduct, the family happy, do not drink alcohol, avoid drunk. One who has kept the five precepts is out of suffering. From the family to the society itself not suffering, but increased prestige, if the offense lost prestige with people. For example, if the crime of theft is afraid of being arrested, fear of being beaten ... If the crime of murder is even more afraid, everyone is afraid, afraid of people killed themselves, afraid of imprisonment ... As So all that action makes you confused fear, lost all the prestige of man. A person who claims to be a military officer, is decent, never goes out for theft or murder, because doing so lowers the value of his person, and at the same time, how much more suffering will come.Therefore, we should say good deeds for all suffering. For example, if the crime of theft is afraid of being arrested, fear of being beaten ... If the crime of murder is even more afraid, everyone is afraid, afraid of people killed themselves, afraid of imprisonment ... As So all that action makes me confused fear, lost all the prestige of man. A person who claims to be a military officer, is decent, never goes out for theft or murder, because doing so lowers the value of his person, and at the same time, how much more suffering will come. Therefore, we should say good deeds for all suffering. For example, if the crime of theft is afraid of being arrested, fear of being beaten ... If the crime of murder is even more afraid, everyone is afraid, afraid of people killed themselves, afraid of imprisonment ... As So all that action makes me confused fear, lost all the prestige of man. A person who claims to be a military officer, is decent, never goes out for theft or murder, because doing so lowers the value of his person, and at the same time, how much more suffering will come. Therefore, we should say good deeds to all of us. To do so is to reduce your human value, and at the same time, how much more suffering will come.Therefore, we should say good deeds for all suffering. To do so is to reduce your human value, and at the same time, how much more suffering will come. Therefore, we should say good deeds for all suffering.

"The sinner has to repent": If he was ordained and then made repentance.

"If you do not repent, the deeper the crime": For example, now you have been ordained do not lie, but because of business, in the interests of the liar. Lie once and then regarded as the means of ignoring, tomorrow the means again, the means forever to death.Should lie once a repentance, must sincerely repent, so the new disease can lie. In the recent religious or media use to say what is not true then say "Oh means!" Saying the means is to justify, defend his lie. Forever forever, eventually I became a professional lie. So the more sheltered or exposed you are, the deeper the sin. Therefore, if we make mistakes we must repent, should not let it grow. Since we are not holy, when we promise before the Buddha, we also try, But in situations of great urgency, for the sake of something or for something, there may be a lie. I say for example in the temple, this is not big, but when I go to work to forget about the field, the night was taken. In the next morning, people find out who lost ought to miss, because no one should say I do not know. Going to work to say "do not know" is lying. Do not know the means to avoid aphids, so tomorrow will say do not know anymore. I do not know people will suspend people. The other person is disturbed by others, so miss the wrong, bear sin, repent, so that people are not scared, that is true.To make mistakes and deny them to suffer, it is evil. So it seems small, but not good, will cause great pain. This is to say the tiny thing in the religion that many people or "means" like that. The means is to hide your faults. It is weak, is not despicable means.

"If one loses this body, all life does not return." If lost this body would not be able to return to life. Therefore, this body is precious, this body is how to benefit themselves and for everyone.

"This is a good day, tomorrow is difficult to guarantee." This sentence to remind people who appointment: "This year is too busy to practice, leave the next year," or someone said: "This year I am busy So, I'm worried about this, and I'm going to work in the free year. "But today I'm living today, I'm sure I'm alive today. If you have a date tomorrow, the risk of death then? How can we have time to cultivate, so the tu can not date. What do you benefit yourself to do right now do not wait, tomorrow know that you are alive or not?

"Should keep this law, through birth and death." Those who receive the precepts and precepts, precepts will pass the path of birth and death.

"Buddha is the teacher, first must follow the rules." Who said that the disciples must follow the Buddha's teaching.

"Ancient Duc said: 'Through the river must use rafts, to shore without boats.' "Through the river, it is necessary to cross the river by boat, and when it is time to go to shore, boats are no longer needed.But it is not necessary that as soon as they have landed, they have not landed but said that they do not need boats to jump into the river to commit suicide, not to go anywhere. So we have not come to the place that does not keep the precepts, for the precepts are bound, lose freedom, etc. is the plot! As long as the other shore is the enlightenment then, then the precepts are, because the enlightenment where the passion must be kept, the middle is still love, not to create sin, to sink. At present there are some monks, already monks again, again sit pubs if anyone asked why monks but also drink wine, told me to break the clutches of the galaxy, because they keep harbored So, I broke them. Is such a right or wrong? So I made the world subsist in birth and not save them.

"But he did not use boats across the river, but came to the other side, so little," he said. People today do not use boats (rule rules) to cross the river to the other (the shore of enlightenment) is very little! Such a person is very little, that is, the precept to go to the next enlightenment. Discipline is not that enlightenment is impossible.

This is the message that Tran Thai Tong wants to encourage all Buddhist monks and nuns, when the direction of the Buddha had to take care to keep round. It is self-rescue, is to bring yourself to the happily miserable, should not despise, despise is dangerous, is sin.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.25/2/2018.
