SILA AND VINAYA THE PRECEPS TAKEN BY THE NOVICE-MONKS AND THE TEN PRECEPTS TAKEN BY THE NOVICE-NUN.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH. Part 1: Method Research of us is the only faculty of literature, while the glossary [you] self-view, see where questions are raised [questions]. If there are no questions, we will continue with the next passage. The text is printed in a stylish way[1], while the commentary is one word lower, very clear , very easy to see. For convenience, everyone should number each passage of the scriptures, so that when we talk about the next paragraph, everyone opens it in the right place. We see from the first paragraph. The first paragraph is on the second page. CopyWe use this without printing the page number, the page number is written next to it, ie from the second half of the first page, counting down three rows. First, Sanskrit Sa Di , try Van Tuc Tu , taste: Evil action word; ie infection from sacrificial sentient beings . Herons Can Sach , Herons Cau Tich . (One: The Sanskrit word "Sa Di", here translated as Tuc Tu , means: Stop evil, practice right, stop polluting the world and compassionately help living beings . Also translated as Can Sach , or translated as Cau President ) This is the first paragraph, at the beginning of the sentence is written the word Nhat, that is, the first paragraph. "Sa-di" is a sound translation of Sanskrit. "Sanskrit Sa-di": Ancient Indian called Sa-di, translated into Chinese has three meanings. This is also because in ancient times , there was a rule to translate scriptures like this: A word with many meanings cannot be translated. The word has many meanings , not only one meaning ; vocabulary in China can not find a word appropriate to translate went negative translation, then tutoring glossary , a translator is like that. Common Meaning The most [of the word Sa Di ] is "Meaning Word", so how should I explain the word Instant Word ? Next , [the official text] explains very clearly , "Taste: Means evil action from" (meaning: Stop evil, practice from). "Evil" is only for polluted earth , earth pollution intentions of us , defiled thoughts , interpretations of us . The word “Evil” refers to those things, we must get rid of those defilements . This meaning is completelylike in the Infinite Life Sutra , the Buddha taught us to "purge center virtues" (washing please change the well): Wash for the pollution in the mind clean memorize, must be amended to correct all those acts wrong optimistic of us , it's called "happy exchange". This sentence discusses principles, principles, contains a very deep meaning , a very wide realm . Take special note: the French world of defilement mentality we , legal worldly appearance also defiled the temperaments of us! Therefore,Mahayana Buddhism teaches them to go beyond the mundane and out of the world . Not only did we have to rid ourselves of the legal world , which measures the Earth must also shuns , there really such a new attempt achievements . In Buddhism , we most often see the lotus , using the lotus to represent dharma. We see images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas being molded [in the position of] standing on a lotus , sitting on a lotus . What does the lotus flower represent ? Symbolizes being born from the mud without staining, signifying the meaning of the word "Evil" (end of evil). Underwater sediment represents the continent philistine[2] The water above the sediment represents the Four Noble : Thanh Van , Pratyekabuddha , Bodhisattva , the Buddha. The six worlds , the four saints, make up the ten dharma realms . The lotus flower blooms on the surface of the water, implying that both the six mortals and the four saints are not infected; Therefore, studying Buddhism should not be contaminated by the Buddha Dharma . What is pollution ? Discrimination , attachment , and delusion are pollution . Therefore, modern Buddhist learners (not only today , ancient times are no exception) are not infected with worldly dharmas , can put down [ worldly dharmas ], but cannot put down Buddha Dharma . In the place where the Buddha's teachings arise , distinctions arise , and attachments are contaminated by the Buddha's teachings . Not greedy for worldly dharmas , greed can be let down, but greedyBuddhism! You just think going: Buddha taught us rid the mind of greed, not teach us change the object of mind Join! Your greed is still there, not greedy for worldly dharma but for Buddha dharma , would you say it's wrong or not? Therefore, when we see images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas , see lotus flowers , think that the dharmas of the world or the dharmas of the world are not infected, that is the attainment of the One True Dharma Realm , the true truth.purity . These past few days we have been teaching the Amitabha Sutra , and now that we have reached this point, Master Lien Tri has also explained this meaning very clearly and transparently . That is, preaching to the Five Teachings of Mr. Hien Thu [3], the Four Teachings [4] of ThienThai.In the Five Religions , it refers to the Vien Giao and the Dao , which are both worldly and out-of-the-world dharmas that can really be let down. "Evil" here means anything can be let go! The Bodhisattva Teachings in the Four Teachings of the Thien Thai School are called the Chung Teachings in the Hien Thu Five Teachings . Chung Giao 's "One-pointed Mind" is said to be let down, but Nang and Chu still exist . In other words, the mind is still not really pure . Bodhisattvas from the First Earth or higher in the New Sect is "clear mind to see nature" as said by Zen Buddhism , but has not yet reached perfection . Comes to ultimate fulfillment is even a minister being the ignorance ultimate must also falls, so thoroughly clean end gourmet birth, clean finish memorize new evil. [This] shows significant digits novice decided such a place a play , "an end to evil" preaching to ultimately must include both Enlightenment Bodhisattva , the new is really reached the pure immaculate. Here comes "so infected" ( polluted earth ), fear of people BORN misunderstanding should say is "worldly". What is worldly Dharma ? What is Dharma out of the world ? If we do n't make a clear distinction , it will ruin the whole thing! I also used to say: Document on China [a kind of writing that] any one nation in one country on the world also did not get. Document on China is a kind of badges full of wisdom . You look carefully at the word "world": "So" onlytime . “So” is thirty, thirty years is a “so”. Thirty years symbolize the past , present , and future . "Space" is the limit . "The earth" and "world" has the same meaning is limited . The meaning of these two words is: So attachment , Gian is discrimination . In other words, we still have discrimination , attachment is the world . Do you study Buddhism , study Mahayana Buddhism, or study One Vehicle?All dharmas become world dharmas . Because you still have distinctions and attachments , the One Vehicle Buddha Dharma has also been turned into worldly dharmas ; so you are polluted . If against all measures we do not discriminate , not approved before the legal world is also Buddhism , as well as measures the Earth , made that up! Dressing, eating, children in the nursery ( childish)Kindergarten teacher) reading “the kittens cry, the dog jumps” are all teaching the Dharma out of the world for you. Out of the world like? Escape discrimination , attachment , to understand the meaning "that's infected" (end defiled world ) this. Otherwise , even if you are not polluted by worldly dharmas , you will still be polluted by Buddha dharma , and Buddha dharma will also become world dharma! Therefore, if you do not understand the Buddhadharma , the Buddhadharma also becomes poison, the Buddhadharma also harm people, certain to understand the meaning of this. Thus, in association Prajna Buddha preached very clearly : Not only did the Buddha without measures certain to say, that the Buddha did not preach . The meaning [of this teaching] is to teach you about all the dharmas that the Buddha said don't get attached , you should just understand this meaning , it 's fine to understand the meaning , but don't accept it either. into the meaning . In the Mahayana Treatise of Faith , Bodhisattva Ma Minh teaches us the Basic attitude to study Buddhism: 1) The first is "separation of speech and speech " ( leaving the sign of speech): Shakyamuni Buddha preaches sutras , preaches the Dharma , do not be attached to those statements . After the Buddha 's passing , every disciple transcribed words Buddhist training, became classics as current . The speech was turned into scripts , do not attachments speech ; Likewise, do n't be attached to the text! 2) The second is "separation from the name of the self " ( abandoning the general name of the self ). The word "self-identity" refers to many nouns and terms in the Buddhist scriptures. “Sa-di” is a noun, “world” is also a noun. You understand the meaning inside those names , do n't get attached to them. 3) The third is "centrifugation of predestined signs": Talking more deeply! In other words, can all of the Buddhadharma we can think about and study ? Can't be! To study is to fall into the sixth consciousness , Consciousness , which is contaminated , you are contaminated by the Buddhadharma ! We often hear the following saying: Buddhists often say "the medical literature is free, the Buddha's three worlds are unjust" ( y according to the sentence, the meaning is understood in terms of words, the Buddha's three generations were unjust ): Just refer to the text to study. , explain that the three Buddhas ( past Buddha, present Buddha, future Buddha) all claim unjustly , you misunderstood the Buddha's meaning! I have also said: In the verse of the Opening Sutra, there is a sentence "May the Tathagata truly mean", I saidpeople present mislead, should become "song prize Tathagata true meaning" (understood curved vạy sense true of the Tathagata ), or "misinterpretations Tathagata true meaning" ( misunderstood optimistic sense pins true of the Tathagata ). You see: Is the Tathagata calling "unjustly" or not? That is unfortunate, contaminated by Buddhism! Too hard! Buddhism is difficult here. We must be able to use it, not to be contaminated by it ,then you have to study properly, study in the right way. Studying the Buddhadharma is not contaminated by the Buddhadharma , all Buddhadharma must be reduced to the self-nature , this is very urgent. In other words, helping us to achieve purity of mind , helping us to expand our wisdom , that is the Buddhadharma . We can not attain purity of mind in our cultivation , cannot expand our wisdom , [meaning] we have studied the Buddhadharma with deviations and mistakes . Therefore, the meaning of words "that's infected" (end defiled the earth ) is very deep, the scope is very broad, given to understand clearly. If not , you're feeling a novice About , memorize and pureed novice Law Nghi also vain . You've been polluted by Sa Di Luat Nghi , so it's a pity! Must know this! "Practice words": Words are words of compassion ( love , pity ) sentient beings . Beings reincarnated in the six paths , it's very pitiful. At submersible floating at first in six road , who do not know the truth the truth so much, supposedly very much! Only the Buddha, Bodhisattva , Arhat or older to see the truth then, and he saw, see and know is suffering, to understand the situation was frightening . People the world dim dim dim, confused, not understandingthe truth the truth was. Buddhas, Bodhisattvas know the truth the truth was, merciful and all beings , attempt to think method makes the beings that enlightenment , help for those beings that perceive truth , helping them escape the sea of suffering . That is the career of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas , we often call them "Tathagata's karma". The Tathagata's inheritance is the career of the Tathagata , the careerThat is to help sentient beings leave suffering and be happy. "Leaving suffering" is escaping from the six paths of reincarnation , which is a great deal . You say: Is there anything in the world that could be greater? Therefore, ordination is not easy! The ancients used to say: "Leaving home for non-generals and generals has viability" (roughly translated: Leaving home is not something that a general, a prime minister can do). What is General (將)? Commander of the three armies . What is General (相)? Chancellery! Because in the past it was the imperial era, so it couldn't be said that the emperor [cannot be ordained ], ordinary people when their wealth reaches the extreme , the mandarin is the prime minister, the military mandarin is the marshal, his career is outstanding. in this they can not do. Careerfrom -home is right on the heels Buddha , to save all beings suffering , can not compare it. Therefore, the ordained person is Thien Nhan Tu (the teacher of both heaven and human). Now, have we ordained or not? Similar or not? Do not be, even for the practice , we also need to do wrong, losing both at home ; about aspects of this, the renunciation also lost both home . You have to pay attention and observe , why is the death condition of the monastic often not good , often not as good as that of the lay person? In Taiwan in recent years, the house stood reborn , sitting rebirth , anticipatedAt the time of my death, I personally knew dozens of people, people I didn't know, hadn't heard of, and many more! Why? People home study Buddhism only to rebirth , they do not assume the Tathagata in now, but the renunciation must shoulder the Tathagata in industry, must conscientiously take force lay province people at home , lay the province who enchanting , crazy island . We have that mission , that responsibility . Among those most at home , have you yourself not ordained but heartordained , also shoulder the Tathagata in now as old layman Ly International United in Taiwan , reborn appearances heal very well. He was the founder of Lien Huu Nien Buddhist Association, the first group leader, like old layman Ly Binh Nam in Taichung. Their status is not different from that of a monastic , completely shouldering the Tathagata's inheritance . Head's current shop we also carry body parts was also shouldering Tathagata in now, not shaved, but we consider her as Venerable . Body she is often sick, I told her: "The body of her illness I can be treated, she just have to listen , guaranteed cure all diseases in the body. What method is that? Shave your head and get rid of any disease!" Her head doesn't hurt anymore. Headaches are caused by unshaven hair! Therefore, this ashram of ours is indeed a burden mission of the Tathagata . Especially in the Dharma-ending age , all Buddhas like Tathagatas advise us to recite the Buddha's name and seek rebirth in the Pure Land . We studied the practice of this, propagate spread is also the practice of this, we must conscientiously take force propagate the teachings This is great, radiant in the era of this. We take it seriously , try to do it , we know it inThis era has great accidents . But some people we propagate the practice is not much, but if each person can truly dedicated to paddle , self-propelled , turned the people, though not able to neutralize eliminate accidents that it can also relieve that accident . Therefore, one must seriously practice and study , seriously promote, do not make it formal , do not make it easy to look at, do it in vain , everything must be sought for reality , that's right. That is the "kindness of sentient beings". In addition , there are two more meanings , one is Can Sach , the other is Cau Tich . These two meanings belong to self-interest . "Meaning From" is self-benefit and self- benefit , Means Evil (ends evil) is self-benefit , Tu Te ( compassionately helps others) is self-serving . Therefore, this meaning is very complete , interpreted in this way is broader. "Need" (diligence) is diligent , "Book" means "exit policy" (reminders, urging ) yourself, cheer yourself. "Chairman": President ispure mind . Therefore, Buddhists do not ask for anything else, just ask for a pure , unpolluted mind ; no pollution is pure , pollution is not pure . Therefore, we should pay special attention to Buddhist studies so as not to be contaminated by the Buddha's teachings . The worldly dharma must let go, for the Buddha dharma we must also learn to let go, don't be attached! Diamond Sutra says it well: "France rooftop exhaust Falcon, Galaxy Caseillegal" (France should also be abandoned, let alone illegal ). "Non-dharma" refers to worldly dharma , "dharma" is Buddha's Dharma ; Both the Buddhadharma and the worldly dharma must be put down. Now we are not saints , nor class base nature very sensitive, karma , habits , negativity very deep. In Buddhism , we only choose to take the Pure School , only accept the Pure School , because completely without attachment , we can not do it now, there is no way! Only attachment to Pure Land Buddhism , all other Mahayana sutras are different from usAll put down, that's good! With qualifications , the situation current of us , can do so. Firmly uphold only three sutras and one treatise, or five sutras and one treatise of the Pure School , lower the amount of effort there. To lower "elaborately padded" ( elaborately inferior, blunt ), we often say is must lower "elaborately death", [ie] the dead hearts full retreat . Are there any questions in the comment section ? If there are no questions, we continue to the second paragraph. Question: When we say "generate the mind of compassion", do we wait until the mind-ground toward everyone has adjusted to be equal before we generate compassion ? A: Developing compassion and compassion for all sentient beings must be done right now! If you wait until your mind is equal, then you will become Hinayana . Must do in the present , must help others, wholeheartedly help people, do as much as you can. When doing, do not accept the general , do not expect others to repay . We giving favors to the bridge do not repay the interest we went purity, also don't remember to keep an eye on your heart "I do many good deeds, I help so many sentient beings", your mind is polluted , not pure ! Therefore, the Buddha taught us "the three wheels are empty"[5], we must do it, do our best, forget it when done, don't get attached . Only then will the mind be pure . Second paragraph where the third page, we see a higher print line: Second, laws suspected fake, cross gender law, the word majesty wild. (Two: Law Comfort is ten international laws and majesty ) This passage explains the precepts of novices . Novice total of ten articles. In Buddhism , especially with people ordained , ten world this is called the Basic University Gender , forced to comply . People are given to understand: These beginners to Life Basic Gender , users must also cultivate long life. Arhat , Pratyekabuddhas must comply , Bodhisattva to take position Enlightenment Bodhisattvas still have to comply . There's been talk of whether it was the monks, were Bodhisattvas , law Comfort novice this can not have life anymore. [Speaking] That's a big mistake ! Like building a house, building a house must first build a foundation, then build the first, second, and third floors. Build to the third floor and no longer need the two lower floors, is it possible? There is no such morality ! Therefore, the Basic Precepts, from the beginning of the mind to the time of becoming a Buddha , must be firmly maintained , and must be known . In other words,Bodhisattva Precepts have may not need life. We can build a house without building a third floor, and two floors below can still be lived in. Bhikshu there may not need life; We still have the ground floor to live in. You must understand this principle ! As a monk, you don't need the law of novices anymore, just like we are on the second floor, don't need to go to the ground floor anymore, right away, you will fall down ! If you understand this truth , you will understand the important nature of the Samaritan 's law . To tell the truth out, we perform good ten this, Bhikshu , World Bodhisattva can set aside, there may not need to. Otherwise , it will be fake Bhikkhu-stilts, fake bodhisattvas , have a name and not be real, that is deceiving oneself and deceiving others. We value the substance , not make the appearance . Morality Buddhist concept can be achieved to Shanghai Shanghai Brand rebirth , you really do. The Bodhisattva precepts are not certain to be reborn , why? To be Fake bodhisattva , not real bodhisattva ! Must know, must understand this. Therefore, we must really do, seriously, simply practice . Novice has ten sex thing and twenty four postures . Now we call "positions" as "living patterns". In everyday life, behaving and treating the recipients, what rules must we follow ? What principles? Those twenty-four subjects are rules and principles. But these things were established by Shakyamuni Buddha while he was in the world , three thousand years from the present time . Now we are living in Taiwan , and then it was Ancient India ; Therefore, the way of life of We are different, all ways of thinking and seeing are different from our predecessors . We have to how to understand the spirit of the Law Nghi , penetrating moral , and applications on the daily lives of the people present , like so true. Like the law, even the constitution is no exception, every so many years it has to be revised once , why? It's another era . There were provisions that were only appropriate for the time, noin line with the present , needs to be adjusted . The Basic Precepts transcends time and space and cannot be changed . Basics About only four things: Do not kill , do not lust (this is for people who ordained that say), do not steal , do not lie . These four things are called Basic Precepts , transcending time and space , no matter in any area, in any era , they cannot be changed . Other things may be due to time , locality, different living habits, onlyIn compliance with the moral principles , these terms can be modified. In China, these are called Thanh Quy . As in life Road, mazu daoyi monks initiated up spare forestry , ie the proposed "common people to cultivate." Truong Bach master set Thanh Quy , Thanh Quy That was the Vinaya was "groundbreaking cultural responsibility" (ie localized Vinaya , interprets morality to fit the cultural , methodicalof a country). Modern chemistry Vinaya , bringing the spirit , principles invariance of morality applications into the lives of people modern . That was [ master ] was because the Chinese that a regulatory Tan About Law-scale era, people we must adhere . Truong Bach from time to now has nearly one thousand four hundred years, the situation of our current no longer resemble one thousand four hundred years ago. Therefore, every oneashram , each of our temples and shrines has "Chang Tru Convention", all have rules . There are things that belong to modern chemistry, chemical duty territorial morality suitable for mass at a convent in ashrams , establish a methodical . In particular about Taipei city, the rules of each temple and temple are not the same, the Chang Tru Convention of each temple is also different, [as long as] it is suitable for our own learning and cultivation situation . The methodical , conventions that are subject to the Law of Nghi , therefore, given to understand. Without understanding this truth , we can not smoothly carry out those Disciplines . Therefore, we read them, study them must understand where the spirit is, must understand their principles and principles. Shanghai disaster About Law subjects (God first is the Vinaya ) The Sa Di Law Nghia is divided into two parts: The first part teaches about the Precepts , the second part teaches about the Arrogance . Next , first of all, talk about the Precepts section . Discipline is fundamental , because a distinctive world, postures to support morality , we are Decency life everyday . We must clearly perceive the two words Precepts and Laws. On this page, the countdown is the fourth row, [recorded]: " Prohibition is forbidden , Law is law" (Precept is prohibition, Law is law ). The word Precept only for "forbidden precepts", ie prohibition. Buddha taught us what not to do, what to do. Therefore, the Rule of Law is divided into two major types: One is Just Tri (what not to do), the other is osteopathy (things to do). Buddha teaches us what to do, we must do it, not doing is the Brahma Precept . Buddha is notaccepted to do, we should not do, that is Tri Precepts . If you don't do it, you'll break the precept if you keep doing it . Teaching you to do but you don't do is also breaking precepts! Therefore, the Precepts are of two types: One is forbidding , the other is teaching what you must do. The law is that after you have broken the precepts , like judging you for a serious or a minor crime, that's the law : Use the law to judge whether your crime is serious or minor. It's called Law. Next is the explanation : "Room Non only evil write it, judged contempt matter, declare - cost - maintenance - commit write the Law" (Prevent wrong, end to evil is About. Handling guess severity, open, stop, keep, commit, called Law). What is gender? "Room is only evil". What is law? Judgment heavy - light, Khai, Gia, Tri, Pham, is the Law. You just need to remember these two sentences carefully. Here must explain the "Khai - Price - Tri - Pham". Each of the precepts is alive , the method of maintaining the precepts is different, not the same, must know this. That is the Buddha with respect to the different roots of all sentient beings, but the scope of Khai - Price - Tri - Pham will be shallow, deep, wide, and narrow. Like we teach students, for students Elementary, we must arrest very seriously, why? Because they do not understand the matter; do not teach or controlStrictly, they will cause trouble, harm . As for high school students , they have gradually come to understand , so they loosen the management rules a bit. Up to university students , they have the ability to distinguish right - wrong, understand the benefits - harm, the scope of teaching and controlling them is expanded even more. The Buddhist precepts have the same principle . For ordinary novice, to arrest real hard, real tough. In Buddhism , as Theravada teachings arrest very strict, very conservative . For Mahayana people , it is relatively easy . Why? Who Mahayana have wisdom , have the capacity to distinguish leg - hope, have the capacity to distinguish evil - Secretarial, right - wrong, good - evil, you have the ability to distinguishthen, should expand a lot. Wait until you're clever mind is emptiness , Architecture Consulting , Chen Sa , all sections clean, ignorance also break some products, he entered the realm of the Flower Adornment , "Management is very afraid , of the endless problems", until then This precept can be really maintained to complete purity . Perfectly pure , is it still upholding the precepts or not? Still uphold the precepts! As we often say: "Treat but not maintain, not maintain but maintain". He enters this realm , naturally without making mistakes, without mistakes. In terms of signs , Bodhisattvas still seriously maintain like that to set an example for new learners, ie "practice" as mentioned in the above section. That person himself has reached the Non-Consciousness , why still have to keep the precepts like that? Let the beginner see, let the beginner seeBodhisattvas always uphold the precepts , so we can not keep them! If not , Bodhisattvas are not morality , we lead the world do? Causing the opposite effect , the opposite effect for elementary students is not compassion! Therefore, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also uphold the precepts , strictly observe the precepts , making it easy for beginners to see and understand that they are indeed "reasoning the unobstructed , the unobstructed", they do so.practice . They have completely cut off all evil, evil is no more, what they do belongs to Hanh Tri . "Declaration" is the opening of the predestined, the word Duyen means the condition . Under certain conditions , it is possible to declare precepts, open precepts, but not break precepts! If you don't aim for those conditions , the Buddha strictly forbids you to do it, just say that you broke that precept ! If under certain reasonable and reasonable conditions , you break that precept, it is not called "breaking precepts" but "breaking precepts". Proclamation is not a sin, not only is there no crime but also has merit . In the Buddhist theory of monks Huu Nhan Coast [6] stating an example , booksPhap Uyen Chau Lam , The Essential Book of Books [7] also has narration. At that time, there was a king who was very impatient , most of the cooks cooked food that was not good, the king was not satisfied with the food , and tried to kill the chef. That day, when the Lady was observing the Eight Quan Trai Gioi , seeing that situation , because she wanted to save the chef, she specially put on gorgeous makeup, advised the king to sing and dance, hoping that the king would replace him. Change your mind , forget about it. Therefore, her Eight Precepts on that daycompletely destroyed. Is that breaking the world or not? Because she wanted to save a cook's life, because to save a person, that action belonged to the precepts, not only breaking the precept of not being guilty, but also having great merit . This passage is very detailed, we do n't remember very well, probably in the commentaries there is a story about this Bat Quan Trai Gioi . Therefore, to understand what is "declaration of precepts" (conditions for opening precepts)? If you don't have a predestined relationship and want to find an opportunity [to break the precepts ] yourself, that's wrong! That's breaking the world, not the precept! Therefore, this matter of Khai or Gia must have wisdom to judge . Yesterday afternoon, an old friend invited me to have dinner, I didn't know it was his birthday, came suddenly. It's not too bad that yesterday I brought a few sets of the Infinite Life Sutra to him, wishing him an immeasurable life , also very good! During the resistance war, he encountered the following: The three of them carried out secret work together in Nanjing , and were discovered by the Japanese gendarmerie (police) . The Japanese Gendarmerie pursued them. They ran to the temple outside the Chinese gate of Nanjing City , while the temple was holding a Dharma assemblyThe three of them ran to the old monk for help . That old monk was very wise , and immediately told them to shave their heads, put on the robes of the sea , and join the others in reciting the Buddha's name . Therefore, when the Japanese gendarmerie chased the place , it was not possible to find the three people, the three of them kept their lives intact. After the [anti-Japanese] victory , thought to favor saving lives of senior monks , they placed a wine party very lavish invitation old monk to show little hearts thanks . The old monk also came; When they arrived, they thought the monk was a vegetarian , but here there are chickens, ducks, fish, and meat piled up, all salty food, true wine with fatty meat. Unexpectedly, the old monk was so extraordinary, the old monk suddenly sat down, didn't ask anything, raised his cup happily.Drink with them, make them in awe , very touched . That's called opening precepts, opening precepts, not breaking precepts! The old monk without the mind nothing, but he knew they sincerely appreciated, is not a full-jokingly people ordained ; Therefore, He satisfied them, and made their hearts glad . This is predestined, one must understand this. There are many home-based initiates who study Buddhism by themselves and develop vegetarianism , but the family members do not study Buddhism. Life Bodhisattva then, he should cook meat better for the parents to eat or not? Having said that cutting meat is also against the precept , this is not wrong! You make offerings to your parents , when your parents still don't believe in the Buddha, that is "opening a predestined relationship", not breaking precepts . You have to come from this place to touch the people in your home. If you want to change people, you must first make them feel good about BuddhismIf you are happy with the Buddhadharma , you will be able to move them. If you "do this is not right, it is not right to do that", tell them: "You eat the flesh of living beings , in the future you will have to pay for your life". The more you talk about family members, the more troubled they become , the more angry they become, and not only ca n't teach and convert them, but on the contrary, they also create a lot of verbal karma , so that's a big mistake ! Such is the lack of wisdom . You follow everything, people feel that Buddhism is good, Buddhism really nice! After a while, they will gradually be able to touch them, must use wisdom . Time long or short depending on skillful means your taste, but also depending good roots , blessings of your family. Therefore, it is necessary to have patience, to have means , to do so. Naturally, people will turn their heads, will turn to good, thousands of people can not rely on themselves to study Buddhism but oppose their family members, doing so is wrong, completely wrong . Buddhism was founded on the basis of filial. The first sentence in Tam Phuoc is "filial piety to parents , service to the chief teacher". The first question is "studious secondary care model". Therefore, one must have wisdom , one must have skillful means , one must have a patient mind to persuade family members, and decide not to oppose . Before people do not understand , no insight, people want what should either accept . While depending upon , we have the heart patient, with wisdom , withmethod to gradually transform them, that's right! This is called true filial piety ! "Price" is a prohibition, the decision must not be violated . Therefore, you must understand Khai - Price to be able to maintain precepts . Whenever you should declare but do not declare, it is also called breaking the precepts! When should Price without Price is also called breaking the precepts! Enough to see that the word "precepts" is easy to say? Sticking to the precepts is not the same as keeping the precepts , the precepts are all alive . If you don't understand the Precepts , don't understand why the Buddha set them down, where is the intention , what is the moral , how can it be applied in everyday life? In life every day of ourhave upon the scene , with adversity , the realm that the difference is very large, in these circumstances very troublesome , complex , applies world this like? That is Khai - Price. You clearly understand Khai - Price will apply flexibly , vividly , application is very complete , self-beneficial , self- beneficial , that is the precept .
