GENDER IS MAKING FOR THE PHARMACY

WORKSHOP between the world

The eunuchs,

Today you come here to receive the Dharma of the Buddha. It is a very important thing to do. By becoming ordained we become a true Buddhist, benefit ourselves, benefits others, benefits all sentient beings and makes the Dharma enlighten us between the world. Therefore, you should concentrate your mind to receive the teachings of the Buddha through the teachings of the monks.

Today Buddhists come to the teachings of the Buddha to find a method of peaceful liberation; Just as in the old days, the lay people also came to him to pray for him, to bring them a happy and happy life. The Sutra III.A records that one day a lay disciple, Dighajanu (long knee), went to the Blessed One, bowed and said: "Lord, we are The homeowners, also enjoy the sex life, consciously living with his wife and children, using flowers, wax powder, gold and silver life. Lord Buddha, please teach the sermon to people like us; How do they bring us peace and happiness in the present and happiness in the future.

Today, lay Buddhists come here, though not explicitly mentioned in the mind, but perhaps also embrace a similar ambition, that is how to as a lay practitioner , have a happy and happy life in the present and in the future.

Although the merchant lived with the sensual pleasures of the world, he realized that material possessions only helped him survive, not to make him happy. In the middle of fullness of wife and children, full of fame, fortune wealth, but if the mind still suffers from anxiety, fear, greed, hatred, craving, then of course it is not life. peaceful life. May the Buddha grant a way to bring him long-term happiness, he layman also emphasized, while enjoying the pleasures, not shaved hair left home life as a retired monks, khao It is a very sincere, earnest and also a gold test. Buddhism, though super sublime, But what is the benefit to the great majority of people who roll in the world? Do you want to follow the Buddha, you must eat sand? The following Buddha's answer tells us that the Buddha paid special attention to the life of the layperson.

The Buddha taught him: "Hey layman, these four dharmas bring to present happiness, peace present for good son. how is four? It is 1. Full of resourcefulness; 2. Full protection; 3. Be good friends; 4. Balance by harmony.

1. What is full of resourcefulness? Full of resourceful means that, at home, whether the occupation of any profession should be sophisticated, diligent not tired; to meditate, to understand means, just enough to do and control others to do.

2. What is full protection? Full protection means that the property that has been dilapidated by the work that is harvested, due to the sweat pouring out the French law must be careful to keep the protection, so as not to be carried away by the king, robbed. , burned by fire, water drifted, damaged children destroyed. These are very practical teachings. Because home goods are not like begging for alms to live, but also have many obligations to parents, wives and children, so it is necessary to have a proper occupation to make wealth. Want to, should be diligent, sophisticated in his work, career. If they are not diligent, they are attracted to the wrong things to make money. Once the life is not justified, the wealth made by the dishonest occupation will be captured by the king. So, The way to keep the door from being carried away by the king is to have a legitimate profession. But the property that has been so hard to obtain such a sweat must prevent the accident of water, fire, burglary and especially damage damage. This is a very practical teaching. There are many wealthy people who, for the love of their children, spend their fortune on unforgiving drunken gambling, so as to nourish the undead, harming the family, society and nation. family. Because when it was destroyed by the parents and then going to ruin the neighbors, harm everyone. Therefore, the Buddha has money to protect, do not fall into the hands of the damaged children. This means that in addition to being rich, children should be educated carefully. This is a very practical teaching. There are many wealthy people who, for the love of their children, spend their fortune on unforgiving drunken gambling, so as to nourish the undead, harming the family, society and nation. family. Because when it was destroyed by the parents and then going to ruin the neighbors, harm everyone. Therefore, the Buddha has money to protect, do not fall into the hands of the damaged children. This means that in addition to being rich, children should be educated carefully. This is a very practical teaching. There are many wealthy people who, for the love of their children, spend their fortune on unforgiving drunken gambling, so as to nourish the undead, harming the family, society and nation. family. Because when it was destroyed by the parents and then going to ruin the neighbors, harm everyone. Therefore, the Buddha has money to protect, do not fall into the hands of the damaged children. This means that in addition to being rich, children should be educated carefully. Do not fall into the hands of spoiled children. This means that in addition to being rich, children should be educated carefully. Do not fall into the hands of spoiled children. This means that in addition to being rich, children should be educated carefully.

3. What is good friend? Being good friends means that, in the place where you live, the village or the town, where there are family owners or sons who are virtuous, full of faith, generosity, wisdom should familiarize themselves with the conversation. Comment with them. From those who have faith, study faith; from the full virtue, the study of morality; from those who are full of generosity, learning alms; from those who are intellectually intellectually well-educated. This is a good friend. The first two teachings are to teach material wealth and preserve it. The third thing is to teach about the French, the wealth, the spirit, the spirit to the world from ridicule is the rich of the unconscionable. So, the lay person must cultivate the dharma so that there is language, action and thought in accordance with the doctrine to become a noble personality.

4. What is the balance of life? Harmonious balance means: After making wealth, it must be spent appropriately, that is, not too wasteful, nor too scattered. If the number of export is too large, the consumer is easy to go bankrupt and even damaged. On the contrary, too skilful, not dare to spend money becomes a slave to wealth. The owner of material wealth is living peacefully, but material possession is the slave, suffering. Ownership of material is to be consumed, then consumption, not consumption, then keep. People have the money to keep the bo bo, consumption for themselves also do not dare, say nothing to the family, wife and children to give alms.

Thus, staying in balance means not wasting or miserly. The Buddha teaches four principles to live in harmony, to have four gateways for property to come out: one is passionate lust, two is passionate about drinking, three is gambling, and four is gambling. wicked man If the four doors are closed, the property is not lost in vain, the owner will live happily.

When the Buddha teaches to be good friends to cultivate faith, virtue, generosity and wisdom, it is the four things to live in peace in the future. Buddhists take refuge in the Triple Jewels. Today, the precepts of the Buddha to the mainstream is to do the second thing: full of virtue. As a Buddhist who does not preserve morality, evil deeds, not worthy of the teachings of the Buddha, even if they claim to be Buddhists are not Buddhists. Should be full of virtue new worthy Buddha.

Third, full alms. Giving is the first act that the Buddha taught to all those who came to him. For the embezzlement of all evil needs to be addressed by almsgiving. Giving is the material, the ability, the power, the understanding, the emotion, the catechism, etc. all that you have other people do not have. A smile with a scared person is also a blessing, sometimes with great effect. (There are people that only a smile that people stop to open it?). The highest reward is to open the heart, to expand the mind. If you only know that you do not know, you are a selfish, selfish person. Society that includes such people is not happy. A family is only thinking for themselves, the family is not happy. Giving first is to end the greed, the end of the slippery and end jealousy. Yes, there are rights, there should be alms, sharing. Giving, how to share honor? When it is appreciated by the humble person that he is humble, then it is his honor Bell. Thus not only create happiness for themselves but also bring joy and happiness to people. Therefore, not only the money of new generosity, but also the body, mind is able to give all. If in mind people always think of generosity, competition, jealousy will greatly reduce.

The fourth thing is full of wisdom. A Buddhist is the Enlightened One. He realized all the universe, the nature of sentient beings, should teach the dharma in accordance with the base, the level of sentient beings, thereby raising the soul. As an enlightened being, it is not desirable, so it is necessary to cultivate wisdom. The Buddha says: "Everything is in circulation. So, how do we figure out? Listening is the wisdom; Consideration is wisdom. As it sounds right, there is a clear tail that is intelligent. Someone to hear about, someone asked me only reply: "Very nice but do not remember anything." So it is necessary to remember a little bit, to think and practice according to that, that is wisdom. Practicing catechism with personal experience will understand the Buddha's teachings.

As in the past, there was a Buddha walking in the middle of the field, his hand pointing to a bush to say "monk, A-nan?". A-nan A-nan look at, also said "Great monastery beam, the Sun". Accidentally, a farmer walking behind him, listening to what he saw, he found a cup full of gold, very happy, said silently: "Heard the Exalted One is the most decorated, what Well, that gold, he said he was a snake. He brought gold home, sell his house, land, vehicles ... neighbors saw him long poor dead, eat dinner tomorrow, now suddenly suddenly rich, can not be out of doubt, show concerned. Quan called up and asked the house, he took all the gold and arrested him jailed. Sitting in the dungeon, he penetrated the Buddha's teachings. He thought that from now on, he would be eaten with sour taste, the opposite was hungry. He thought from now on at the high door, turned out to be in prison. Encouraged, he shouted: "Single bar, Ananda! The monk bar, the Sun! " The prisoner heard, asked the reason, he told the story ends and concluded: "This moment in prison, the new baby, understand

The Buddha's teachings are extremely profound. " Not easy today: Buddhists we have awakened, believe in the teachings of the Sun. Suppose a beautiful tomorrow morning, going in the middle of the road to meet the gold bars, do we bring home? Surely bring about, so many people are told that the Buddha is not realistic, no religion, but Buddhist should know whether the Buddha is the truth or not? Just because our greed is too heavy, we can not ignore it. But when we do not hear the Buddha's teachings, we use gold in a different way, when we hear, use the other way. That is, to know how to catch snake from it. Here, do not selfish, because all selfish work is bad, altruism is good. If you bring gold to work benefit is that it is know how to catch snakes. Not only gold but everything else is the same. Without wisdom, How can we understand the profound teachings and happiness that this teaching will bring us? Gold is said to be poisonous snakes, it is not like saying "life is suffering"! If we do not have wisdom, we will say as well as the farmer that "It is unreal. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Wait for it to happen. Self-consciousness is a bright fire from the mind, making the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Patriarch immediately see the truth, no teacher, it is called unlearned, . But it is also a long-time practice has long been. We will say as well as he said: "What is so unhappy? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Wait for it to happen. Self-consciousness is a bright fire from the mind, making the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Patriarch immediately see the truth, no teacher, it is called unlearned, . But it is also a long-time practice has long been. We will say as well as he said: "What is so unhappy? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Wait for it to happen. Self-consciousness is a bright fire from the mind, making the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Patriarch immediately see the truth, no teacher, it is called unlearned, . But it is also a long-time practice has long been. Sensei immediately found the truth, no teacher, it is also called unreachable, self-enlightenment or self-consciousness. But it is also a long-time practice has long been. Sensei immediately found the truth, no teacher, it is also called unreachable, self-enlightenment or self-consciousness. But it is also a long-time practice has long been.

If you are a Buddhist who is deviant, do not know whether to distinguish the left or the wrong is not intellectual and easy to become superstitious, superstitious, believe is the pagan. Thus, the fourth Buddha taught lay Buddhists to cultivate wisdom to be happy in the present and in the future.

In short, the Buddha teaches the four virtuous dharmas for the present: to take away, to protect the riches earned by the righteous; Make friends and live harmoniously. And four methods to create happiness for the future, the next is: faith, morality, generosity and wisdom. There are eight such things, at which hour, where, we also deserve to be Buddhists, not only for ourselves but also for many others. If we do not understand the dharma, we will go astray. As a Buddhist, without knowing how much is the form, if the Buddhists are not aware, lack of wisdom can not know the feet, fake. So, there is wisdom is essential to maintain the Dharma.

In the past, the Socrate saint asked and was told by a young man in the sewing workshops, the thick, the hat, but when the sage asked if he knew where to teach him, he ignored it. . Jacket, shoes, hats are luxurious but it is not human! 'If you do not know how to make people, even if they are full of things that can not be made. If we learn to be human then that shoe, that hat, that new clothes called people.

Today you are also ordained to study the human nature, the basis of all the Saints; It consists in three virtues, Tri, Dung, so the Buddha is honored as the Great Hero, Great Power, Great compassion.

May you be devoted to receiving the teachings. Lastly, let's reiterate the words of Theravada Buddhist Le Dinh Tham, a layman who made great contribution to the renaissance of Buddhism in Vietnam so that you can improve on it.
