Three Refuges:
The Greatest On Life .
 
 
The world's largest refuge, so need to be careful, not to be despised or impulsivity that do. Must first choose a competent teacher for refuge virtuous. So what was smooth, the wise teacher position was open market knowledge and guidance, most enlightened Buddha imported knowledge, but do not obey pagan heresy.
Not only now emerging the pagan shaman, which the Buddha in the world at well filled. At that time there 72 to 96 pagan and half eagle, and strong expansion than-legal chief. Gullible people for not understanding the truth. The pagan stuff was so disastrous as it may lead us astray. Initially, the players look forward to fewer benefits, but has lost his way, only marginalized and alone. It's dangerous!
If you want refuge, Dharma labels achieve organ, Nirvana wonderful heart, find food wise teacher bridge. But among the monks still confused true and false, not all are created equal. If follow pagan sins unintentionally finds great harm, but both believe in shamans heresy even more disastrous.
Therefore you are studying Buddhadharma avoid such mistakes, instead of the pursuit of upstream producers are depraved religion of hell, instead of the pursuit of happiness is the true recipe for immense suffering. That is why I say the refuge is a top choice, there was nothing more important.
When you take refuge with me, think carefully and recognize the path they want to move forward.
Before the Buddhas, each one to reveal sincerely regret all the sins of the past. Being so evil will be eliminated, will grow good roots. Without sincerity, remain poor, difficult to germinate friendly apartments. It all depends on sincerity and determination, avoid evil thoughts delusions. When the refuge, you must be sincere, otherwise it will not touch.
After making the refuge until the day the Buddha, if you have faith and moral solidity salary bar will not have problems. Otherwise, forget going to become a Buddha, which is not easy to become a human being. If we do not practice, then not only laymen but also home people would still have to fall into hell.
So you take a dedicated lay stress-legal practicing Buddhism. Be reverent Jewels, Jewels offerings, trust and lifelong serve Jewels, will be the touch. Otherwise well as never refuge and no induction anything.
In the morning when you wake up, before the Buddhas please discovered four large chapel as Bodhisattvas did. Early evening, ask yourself: "Beings boundless, there was prayer not? Negativity endless with their aspirations not? Must beings pray, pray piece of disturbance. Teachings immeasurable and wish school? Whatever busy work must also take time to chant, and practiced countless teachings. Buddhist supreme, have willingly into it? I'm not a Buddha, remains the ordinary man. So I had to express religious to attain Buddhahood. "
Every day you wake up and discovered four large, dark chapel to ask yourself whether you have reviewed the practice prayer or not?

Three Refuges:
Turned his head reached shore
 

"Sea of ​​immense suffering, if over backwards to reach shore."

Refuge is the first step and the next step must be brave, do not be deterred regress. That is the path to Buddhahood.
If you turn your back they will lay regress into three realms and lost in eight tribulations. So there are questions that:

Teacher led to the door
Yourself to crash
There is no food, the new
Samsara yourself segment.

Do not think: "I have taken refuge so I can lean on Dharma Sangha." Dharma Rising oil has miraculous powers well enough not help her attainment of Buddhahood is, also can not help yourself to smoothly Buddhadharma and practice religious vocation. Thanks to the Sangha that Buddhadharma newly propagate in the world.
Although you have refuge, they still have to work to advance. If you hold no killing, no stealing, no adultery, no lying, no drunk that you were really feeling in the world. If still killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, drunkenness is not really feeling in the world.
If life and without keeping the five precepts, the more serious offense than now because like you had deliberately transgress, and will fall into touch.
Can not say: "I have refuge and life in the world, I was upholding. I killing, stealing, adultery, lying or drunk is okay."
Some people think: "If the house is not maintained in the world to deserve such heavy industry, and the monastic precepts, why not? They have been leaders heavier than now?" You remember this:

"Bodhisattva unknown to others
Amitabha self reflection. "

Day to question her, behavior control and reflective optical feedback. "I have no morality, there is no transgression yet? Since refuge far, I have been a devout Buddhist, or do you have towards Christianity, Islam or any other religion? Am I learning immoral heathen not? "
Having taken refuge must have definitive attitude. "Oil for anyone who threatened her life if I believe Buddha, or Buddha himself lived if his leave, then I still do not believe the heathen."
Includes all natural pagan ghost in the heavens, with enough divine, popular culture, unfathomable mystery. We ma always psychic development. Conversely disciple of Buddha can not currently Kabbalah. If so, they will not tell anyone. He who boast clairvoyance, natural disasters atrial etc .. are labeled witches kind mentioned in the chapter "50 warm ghost realm" of Shurangama, or assume they are disciples of celestial ghost, or is unbelieving disciples.
So we Buddhists have Trach-legal-label. While searching for spiritual teachers, do not initiate participation, have no desire touch, today heard that appears good, the follow appears cardboard cardboard, tomorrow hear commended the tantra or under tantra. So even if you are practicing for the end choose life, that does not keep the most specialized center of one heart is ultimately just a waste of time only.
Refuge and then you avoid offense. Please strictly abide diligent Three-Five-world rules. Five-world is fundamental to achieve Buddhahood. Layman had five gender, gender 250 monks, monks and 348 world-ni, you must not violate gendered, for the purpose of discipline is to control himself around. You go to the practice precepts. If not, you still are ordinary guys.
Buddha and very fair, who have attained cultivators do not practice are not attained. Please, follow the example of the military generals never dismounted, always straight forward, not backward.
Direct export from merit and practice precepts will assist you reborn Pole-Lac. But please do not forget beings, return to save them. Therefore shall you make attained Bodhi resolve to save all beings.
There are those who say they want to save sentient beings in this life. How are sentient beings, while they have not been themselves level? Just as the Bodhisattva of clay, through melting sea submersible, and save anyone? If you want to save sentient beings while not save ourselves, and put under the flame root, near his side forgot that search remote conversation. Plowing his help other people without worrying about their field, which is doing a big mistake.
So people have to work to practice, do not rely on others taking, thinking, "My Master is the one great wisdom." Oil for attained then your Master also can not share your wisdom. You still have to practice on their own, otherwise there standing in front of Buddha nor can surely help you to be.

Three Refuges Must Hold About


Today you have life Tam-regulation and the Five-world.
Oldtimer Originally, Buddhist refuge without refuge instructions. After the Buddha entered Nirvana, beings must take gender as their teacher. Therefore, in the refuge ceremony include gender refuge. What is gender? Avoid evil, do good, do not see the small improvement without doing, but keep doing evil small.
Many Buddhists Buddhist mistakes while they praised his religion, until the apostate to decry. There are professionals who come to this place where the other, the religious believe this today, tomorrow other religious message, days later another religious followers. Denominations believe that one day they will be hell without knowing! Because they do not have a consistent principle, only seeking benefits, like new things, learning esoteric, or joining the cult sneaky no public activity. Finally become hungry ghosts are hell or the animal to suffer retribution. It's mercy!
In the refuge ceremony today, first of all, we take refuge in the Buddha, it is better to let go of life and not take refuge in heathen or pagan magic disasters, such as the ghost myself in heaven. Two letters to myself in pleasure only in heaven, or may in certain paradise you only heard but not seen, should be curious to go without knowing what direction to go. Then just around the six realms of cyclic existence, into the belly belly trick horse, meet Match-la king forever, no escape from hell, but still do the animals. So rather die with myself and not take refuge in celestial ghost. Students of celestial magic pagan always bragging and self-deification, saying, "If you believe my words, it will immediately enlightened. You can become a Buddha in this life. You do not need to keep gender, fasting or alienate the opposite sex. "
Legal theory of everything they make you panic subtle mistaken, then lost in the wicked ways are hard to turn back.
So do not take comfort, do not take pleasure, enjoyment do not participate. Forums refuge there must be a natural life with justice, not abuse or cheat others flattering. No refuge in celestial ghost myself, but just respect the Buddha, the Exalted Tathagata level omniscient and great wisdom only.
Forums refuge in France, it is better to let go of my life and not take refuge with the evil pagan mail, or follow the theory, bibliography, documentation unbelieving disciples by Indian song and released. No refuge with deviant letter means no reading, no academic study of this kind after the formal Dharma refuge.
Everyone please be aware of this: After the refuge, you still ignorance, cow dung and bow saw, having distributed Crane (dog) is also very good hands so merciful!
Certainly not to read any of pagan publication circulation.
The Sangha is a refuge for monks and spiritual masters ten, not with the disciples of the sect lost. According to them, you will fall into hell with them, so do not take refuge with them. Then the Sangha should do? Take refuge with complete blessing Increased purity, as well as your wallet sow rice paddy in this blessed land. Why must the Sangha? Because Dhamma Sangha propagate. If the Sangha, you will have the opportunity knowledgeable Buddhadharma and smoothly when Buddhadharma you can become a Buddha. So you have to take refuge in the Sangha, not with conventional wild pagan demons tri deviant viewpoints. Do not listen to them brag that they luminescent eyes, nose they speak, their ears are eating. Main demons do not like what is their chance. They said three slopes to defraud flower galaxy.
Forums refuge, then, you must have knowledge of right right, let's get rid of the evil tri go wrong!
Why such Sangha purity with field blessing? Chastity means not contaminated. Non-contaminated would recommend that you do not fight, no desire, no need, no self-interest, not selfish and do not lie. Those who keep the gender does not take money, it was a pure monk, is a blessed land. If someone were very happy to get a little money, but not a field of merit increases. To be offered or not offered nor the mind, not the rich flattery, nor despise the poor, such as pure new field of merit increase. You must know the difference between two such men. Otherwise, you always still confused not subtle.
Next is the refuge Gender, means not doing evil but to do good, even when one iota nor evil idea in mind.
Someone will say: "But just generally bad thoughts arise, so what to do?"
Run evil thought it? Take your time making bad thoughts gradually subside, do not let it drag her under it. For example: "Ah! I want to kill him." Next thought: "OK I go kill it instantly." That's the bad thoughts of murder himself drawn. But if that person thinks: "Ah! He's got a very precious diamonds are very rare, we must find new ways to steal." That however is a bad idea but could not be tempted to follow, and the bad thoughts disappear murder.
Generally speaking if you do not start bad idea as wishful thinking about men and women , that is mindfulness. In contrast is the wrong concept. So let's instructions diligently practice the wisdom, greed extinguished. There question: "Do not do a bad job, whether small, do not ignore small good deeds matter." Practice moral world it is refuge.
Refuge world, with time we will gradually accumulate merit, open great wisdom, being based fullness, finally attained Supreme Enlightenment, attain a multi-la-recruiter-tam -mieu tam-Bodhi. Dac Bodhi fruit Okay, let's go back to the boat compassionate universal beings. It is essential that all Buddhists refuge must keep in mind. We are not guilty karma, the Buddhist-Catholic advantage to plot their benefits. If you do, it's a huge mistake. Do you understand what I'm saying? (Audience replied in unison: Yes understand)
We must practice the four great vows:
1. "boundless beings vows degree." Ask yourself have been the being which is not? If not, then we have self-paced? What is freedom? Am I worthy of being a devout Buddhist refuge in the Buddha did not? Or do I just come to Buddhism to advise food and clothing? Am I abusing religion to deceive the life taken any money? If you have done so you will not only not be beings of hell but also more. That is what we must be aware of first. I must set a good example for the life launch on Bodhi, only to a degree not. Eventually there will be two people, three people, four people, before little after time. Sentient beings as such.
2. "Defilement endless vows paragraph." Ask yourself defilements have not, get rid of anger, and these other features yet? He is man or animal? I had wanted to terminate defilements? First let's cut negativity, anger eradicate ignorance. Such should be true Buddhists.
3. "vows immeasurable Dharma door to school." Ask yourself does not have to learn the method, or read pornography all day? Or reading romance novels? Or just thought of something nefarious, and wasting time with things not useful? His classic study have not? Please answer these questions. And we have to practice these disciplines. Because why? Because we vow to become a Buddha reached the Supreme Bodhi.
4. "supreme Buddhist, a vow." Ask yourself have achieved enlightenment Bodhi fruit yet? For this, I must brave departure Bodhicitta, always diligent never retrogression. If so, the power of the four major prayer will help us to attain spiritual Enlightenment Bodhi. If you do not practice the things mentioned above, this oil was refuge, you do not understand the true meaning of the Three Jewels is.

Three Refuges: promise not to follow the crowd

 
 
Those who have taken refuge in the former and do not take refuge again. Because why?
1. To avoid the scramble disciples and spoken against each other within the Buddhists. Because they compete interests should generate mutual dislike as water incompatible with this fire.
2. Because if those who come to the refuge today that had previously taken refuge then Buddhism did not have another new disciple. Buddhist temple after temple dance from another is not genuine disciples of Buddha.
3. I'm not enough merit to be able to admit those new refuge for the first time as a disciple, let alone those who have taken refuge before. But who was their guru status allows, or guru had died, or disappeared, or have completed, I'll admit continue.
You must be the true Buddhist, not delusion confused. If you do not trust your root guru, the refuge where mean? Use Tse-legal-label, not blindly partakers with others. Buddhists should not personal gain, which bear most disadvantaged. World worsening bad life because people only know self-seeking, killing each other for taking benefits.
I own only redound get marginalized, so I never get offered to me personally. But if one wants to make offerings to the community ashrams, I applaud. I want to support the community, not the pursuit of my privacy. I did pray:

Cold though dead, not phan coast
Whether die hungry, not begging
Poor though dead, no bridge edge
Depending coast unchanging, immutable as grace.
Three Great Principles are always keeping.

Above is the first part of the verse.
When we purchased a facility CTTB, anyone who can see the vast terrain of the forest area was spare and withdrew for fear I would ask them to make offerings. But I did not call anyone to help at all, I do take themselves, and I do not wish any compensation.
Here is the next part of the verse:

Sacrifices for the Buddha
Creating the network's responsibility
Increase Network Chief
Ie the intelligent management, ie the intelligent management.
French circuit to act Sensei passed.

Because Buddha-teaching, we have to bring all the enthusiasm to serve, can sacrifice life without ever stopping, in accordance with the philosophy of "creating networks" the following:

Because we built the network, so we demand report
Painting happy way feel, oneself impact.

"Right Livelihood for Increase" means the priest must obey the precepts of Buddhism. For example, the Sangha should specifically cover the medical world. If not, it's up care instructions have actually disrobed. Buddhism also places to eat only one meal each day before noon. Eating restrictions so to ward off evil spirits and conquer lust (ourselves with three ghosts themselves. If overeating body will rebel ma).
Less desire will enjoy spiritual advancement. So should not take too nutritious foods. It is regulated by the Ten Thousand Buddhas.
Though no one is perfect, but I hope that each of us will try to advance the practice on their correct path.

Top Expedited Buddhist Path


Today is the day that the fresh root and seed your Bodhi mortgages germination.
Refuge and born with eyes open, but do not go astray. Born with open eyes mean? Which means you start your new life with open eyes in order to go to the right path. You must be aware of two things clear. Why do I take refuge? Why I want refuge? This is an important matter. Do not have refuge just because others take refuge, or mimic the galaxy Lord Buddha, I can bow to the Buddha!
What are the Three Refuges? I do not know!
Pay homage to Buddha mean? I do not know!
You come refuge without knowing why! Such is the practice blindly, blindly follow others not? Please, open your eyes, clearly identify the road in front, and mighty step up, not retrogression.
Nowadays the degenerate time. What is degenerate? Buddha-legal means are on the path of decline. We live in the fall of Buddhadharma. The sun was near evening, but the road ahead is still murky. Very little hope. However, this was the time that we need more diligent on the road to reach your destination. That is the spirit of the refuge.
Today there are good grounds to deeper refuge, had to incarnate Bodhisattva refuge, sky dragon bowl incarnation of the refuge, the human species to the refuge, even the spirits had to take refuge anymore. We can say this is the first refuge ceremony was held large-scale in France About the City (*) . The guardian spirit, heavenly dragons filled the bowl of nowhere to ashrams to guardians. The vow of you pray for His future will be the legal guardian angel-proof tri.
Particularly, I have a humble prayer: Who has taken refuge with me or not prescribed medicine, who already believe or not believe in the Buddhist religion, all if not accomplished Buddhahood, I will wait until they become Buddhas I then became a Buddha.
You take a powerful forward, do not lazy lazy, be transformed into good bad habits, avoid evil and do good yourself everyday innovation. Be diligent towards Bodhi. Do not let me wait too long! Maybe I will not have the strength to wait any longer.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGTHMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGTHFOLD PATH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.1/6/2015.THE RETREAT 3 MONTHS FOR BUDDHIST MEMBER AT GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.1/6/2015.
