Refuge in the Three Jewels:
The Greatest Life On
 
 
The world's largest refuge, so need to be careful, not to be despised or impulsivity that do. Must first select a competent teacher of faith to take refuge. So something is not smooth, it is your compassion-that reveal the tri-mode and guidance, most enlightened Buddha enter knowledge, but do not listen to pagan heresy.
Not only now emerging of pagan shaman, but at the Buddha was alive and full. At the time there are 96 and 72 eagles pagan subjects, and strong expansion than-legal chief. People are gullible because not understand the truth. The pagan stuff was so devastating because it can lead us astray. Initially, the wish to be more or less benefits, but have lost their way and are only vulnerable only. It is dangerous!
If you want to take refuge in the Three Jewels, achieve dharma label organ, the mind wonders Nirvana, look for Compassion-tri-mode. However, among the monks still confused true and false, not all are created equal. If you follow the pagan sins unintentionally finds great harm, but both believe in wizards heresy even more disastrous.
Therefore you are studying Buddha-law to avoid mistakes, instead of pursuing the upper religion was branded fall into hell, rather than the pursuit of happiness is the true recipe for infinite 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 identify the path they want to move forward.
Before Buddhas, each person reveals sincerely repent all sins in the past. Being that sin will be eliminated, good roots will grow. If not sincere, remain poor, virtue difficult to germinate. It all depends on sincerity and determination, avoid evil thoughts delusions. When the refuge, you must sincerely, otherwise will not touch.
After the refuge to the Buddha's day, if you have faith and morals solid food will not stick any problems. Otherwise, forget going to become a Buddha, but also not easy to become a human being. If we do not practice it does not lay that person will still be ordained fall into hell.
So please lay your dedicated effort Buddha-legal practice. Be respectful Jewels, Jewels offerings, trust and lifelong serve Jewels, will be the touch. Otherwise, it is never as refuge and no induction at all.
In the morning when you wake up, before the Buddhas go play four great vows as Bodhisattvas did. Early evening ask yourself: "boundless beings, wishing that? Negativity has voluntarily endless passages? Sentient beings must pray, pray stages of disturbance. Teachings immeasurable, who wish to learn it? Either there is also busy to take the time to chant, and countless practice practice. Buddha supreme religion and wish to not? I'm not a Buddhist, there are ordinary people. So I have to express religious to achieve Buddhahood. "
Every day you wake up and play up to four volunteer and ask yourself whether you have reviewed the practice prayer or not?

Three Refuges:
Look Back reach the Coast

"Sea immense suffering, if turned back to reach the shore."

Refuge is the first step and the next step must be courageous, do not be deterred regress. That is the path to Buddhahood.
If you rotate back regress will fall into three realms and lost in eight tribulations. So with that question:

Teacher door led to
the crash I have
eaten there is no new
stages of birth and death themselves.

Do not think: "I have taken refuge so I can lean on the Dharma and the Sangha." Increased oil Dharma miraculous enough not help her achieve Buddhahood is, can not help themselves to smooth Buddha-law and practice religious vocation. Thanks to the Buddhist Sangha that the new legal-propagate in the world.
Even though you've refuge still have to work to advance. If you hold no killing, no stealing, no adultery, no lie, not drunk if you've been really feeling in the world. If you are still killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, drunkenness is not really feeling in the world.
If you have life and that does not hold in the world, now even more serious crimes because like you tried to commit world, and will fall into touch.
Can not say: "I have taken refuge in the Three Jewels and sex life, I was upholding. I killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying or drunk okay . "
Some people think: "If the house does not hold in the world to deserve such heavy industry, and the monastic precepts, why not? They have not been leaders heavier now?" You remember this:

"Bodhisattva do not know about others
Amitabha self reflection. "

Day and night to consider my self control behavior and their reflection. "I can not keep the world that does not transgress? Since refuge far, I have a devout Buddhist, or did you have towards Christianity, Islam or any other religion? Am I learning pagan deviant legal? "
After taking refuge must have definitive attitude. "Oil for someone threatened to kill her if the Buddhist message, or if you give yourself living Buddha, then I still do not believe in pagan."
Foreign direct consists of all natural magic in the heavens, enough miracles, natural variables Culture, unfathomable mystery. We developed ma always miracles. Contrary to his disciples can not make miracles. If so, they will not tell anyone. He who boast clairvoyance, natural disasters atrial labels etc .. are all kinds of demons mentioned in the chapter "50 warm ghost realm" of Shurangama, or assume they are disciples of natural magic, or is unbelieving disciples.
Therefore we Buddhists have Tse-legal-label. While seek the master, do not start taking care, do not touch ham, today heard good tone, it appears under the cardboard display, tomorrow or the esoteric hear compliments to follow esoteric. So whether you choose religious life for all, without keeping the most specialized center of one heart is ultimately just a waste of time only.
Refuge and you avoid offense. Be diligent to strictly abide by the Three-Five-world rules. Five-world is fundamental to achieve Buddhahood. Lay there in the world, with 250 international monks, monks and nuns-348 world, you are not violating the world, since the purpose of the rule is to control himself alone. You go out to the precepts. If not, you are still ordinary people.
Dharma Increase very fair, anyone can practice it has attained, not religious, it is not efficient. Please, follow the example of the military generals never dismounted, always straight forward not backward.
Merit ordained religious precepts and action will assist you reborn Pole-Lac. But please do not forget beings, return to save them. That's why you take attained Bodhi resolve to save all beings.
There are those who say they want to save sentient beings in this life. How to save living beings, while they are not of themselves? Just as the Bodhisattva of clay, through melting sea submersible, and save anyone? If you want to save all beings, while not save themselves and leave the original in accordance tops, forget the near side of her that seek distant conversation. Plowing his help other people without worrying about their field, which is making a big mistake on.
So people have to work to practice, do not be calculated dependence, think: "My Teacher is located Higher wisdom. " Oil for and obtained the Master of your can not share your wisdom. You still have to practice it yourself, if you do not have to stand in front of the Buddha is also unlikely to be able to help you to be.

Three Refuges Must Keep World


Today you learned the rules and the Three-Five-world.
Originally ancient, Buddhist refuge refuge without sex. After the Buddha entered Nirvana, beings must take the world as teachers. Therefore, in celebration of the refuge include gender refuge. About what? Avoid evil, do good, do not see the small charity which does not work, but just as little evil.
Many Buddhists have made ​​mistakes in Buddhism is also complimented his religion, until the apostate to decry. There are professionals who come to this place certain place, this religion believe today, tomorrow another religious message, dated then follow another religion. Denominations believe that one day they will be hell without good! Because they do not have a consistent principle, only seek benefits, like new things, learning esoteric, or join the cult Sneaky not living openly. Finally become hungry ghosts are hell or the animal to suffer retribution. It mercy!
In celebration refuge today, we first refuge in the Buddha, it is better to let go of life and not take refuge with pagan or heathen ma disasters, such as the Self in natural magic. Two letters to myself in pleasure only in heaven, or maybe at Eden that you only heard but not seen, so curious to go without knowing what direction to go. Then just six walks around in reincarnation, in the belly belly trick horse, meet ever-la King of Hell, no escape from the hell that still do animal species. So rather die myself and not take refuge in natural magic. Students of the natural magic pagan always bragging and self-deification, saying, "If ye believe my words will instantly enlightened. You can become a Buddha in this life. You do not need to keep gender, fasting or alienate the opposite sex. "
They all sorts of legal doctrine makes you panic mistaken for magic, and lost in their wicked ways are hard to shrink.
So do not take comfort, do not take pleasure optimistic, do not take enjoyment. Forums refuge there must be a reasonable life with natural, no advantage or defraud others flattering. No refuge with ma self in heaven, but only reverently refuge in the Buddha, the Tathagata level Exalted omniscient wisdom and age only.
Forums refuge in France, it is better to abandon the network itself and not take refuge in the wrong letter pagan or according to the theory, bibliography, documents from pagan practitioners Indian song and released. No refuge wrong 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 si maze, cow dung and bow saw, they meet Crane (dog) and hands it true that mercy!
Certainly not read any publication of pagan circulation.
The Sangha is a refuge for you St. Increase ten, not with the disciples of the sect astray. According to them, you will drop down to hell with them, so do not take refuge with them. So it must be Sangha do? Take refuge filled with pure merit increase, as well as your wallet sowing rice in this blessed land. Why refuge in the Sangha? Because Dhamma Sangha propagate. If refuge in the Sangha, you will have the opportunity to understanding the Buddha-law, and the Buddha-law was smooth you can become a Buddha. So you have to take refuge in the Sangha, not with wild pagan demons evil communication tri wrong. 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 situation. They say three flowers slope to deceive the world.
Forums refuge then, you must have knowledge of right main, be rid of evil tri go wrong!
Why such Sangha pure land blessed with? Purity means not contaminated. The contaminated will not recommend you do not fight, do not participate, no bridges, no self-interest, not selfish and do not lie. Those who keep the world does not take money, it is 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 have to distinguish between two kinds of people there. Otherwise, you always still confused not subtle.
Next is the refuge About, meaning that not only do evil that good works, oil slightest idea of evil is not in the center.
There are people will say: "But just generally bad thoughts arise, so what to do?"
evil concept Run it? Take the notion of making bad people go, do not let it drag her under it. For example: "Ah! I want to kill that person." Next thought: "OK I go kill it instantly." It is the anniversary of his murder is evil appealing. But if he thought: "Ah! He has a very precious diamond beads are very rare, we must find new ways to steal." That however is a bad idea, but he's not drawn under, and murderous evil concept disappeared.
Generally speaking, if you do not start bad idea as wishful stories of men and women , that is mindfulness. In contrast is the wrong concept. So let diligently practice the favored gender, extinguish greed. And a sentence saying "Do not do a bad job though small, do not ignore the slightest improvement." Ethical practice that is taking refuge in the world.
The medical world, with time we will gradually accumulate merit, open great wisdom, being based fullness, finally attained Supreme Enlightenment , attain a multi-la-recruiter-tam-tam-Bodhi shrines. Attained Bodhi Okay, let's go back to the boat compassion universal beings. It is fundamental that all Buddhist refuge must keep in mind. We are not a cause offense, taking advantage of the Buddhist-Catholic conspiracy to gain for themselves. If you do, it is a huge mistake. You understand what I'm saying? (The audience replied in unison: Yes understand)
We must practice the four great vows:
1. "Boundless beings vows degree." Ask yourself these beings have been less of? If not, I have zero self? What is freedom? Do I deserve to be a devout Buddhist refuge in the Buddha did not? Or do I just come to Buddhism to advise a living? Am I abusing religion to deceive the money is not life? If you do so, there are no degrees are being oppressed, but hell. That is what we must realize first. I must set a good example for the life starting Bodhi mind, the only one who is not. Eventually there will be two, three, four, before the next little more time. Saving sentient beings as such.
2. "Negativity endless vows segment." Ask yourself defilements have not yet, get rid of anger, and another thing yet? I'm a person or an animal? I have no wish to terminate the negativity? First let's cut negativity, anger eradicate ignorance. Such was the true Buddhist.
3. "Teachings countless vows to learn." Ask yourself does not have to learn the method, or all day just read pornography? Or read romance novels? Or just thought of something nefarious, and waste time with useless things? I have not studying classics? Please answer these questions. And we must cultivate the practice. Why so? So we vowed to reach the Supreme Bodhi Buddhist religion.
4. "Supreme Buddhist religion, vowed to." Ask yourself have reached the Bodhi Dharma yet? To do so, we must be courageous start Bodhicitta, always diligent never retrogression. In this way, the strength of four volunteer will assist us to cultivate Bodhi attained Enlightenment. If you do not practice the foregoing, the oil had taken refuge in the Three Jewels, you did not understand the true meaning of Jewels is.

Three Refuges: promise not to follow the crowd

 
 
Those who had taken refuge before then, do not take refuge again. Why so?
1. To avoid contention disciples and spoken against each other within the Buddhists. Since they are competing interests should be born as domestic mutual dislike conflict with this fire.
2. Because if those who are to take refuge today that had taken refuge before then Buddhism is no more new disciples. Buddhist temple after temple dance from another is not a true disciple of the Buddha.
3. I was not sufficient merit to be admitted those new refuge for the first time as a disciple, let alone those who take refuge before then. However, people who have their guru status allows, or guru died, or disappeared, or have completed, I will continue to admission.
You must be the true Buddhist, not si love is ambiguous. If you do not trust your guru, the refuge where mean? Use Tse-legal-label, not blindly partakers with others. Buddhists should not attempt own interests, which has to bear the disadvantaged. World worsening bad because people only know life slowly gain, kill each other because of the benefit involved.
Particularly, I just know she experienced disadvantaged sections, so I never get offered to individuals i. However, if one wants to make offerings to the community ashrams, I applaud. I want to support the community, rather than the pursuit of my privacy. I pray:

Although the Cold die, not phan coast
Whether die of hunger, not pleading
poverty Though dead, not for next
Depending coast immutable, unchanging as grace.
Three Great Principles are always keeping.

Above is the first part of the verse.
When we purchased a facility CTTB, anyone who saw the vast terrain of the forest parts that are also withdraw for fear I would ask them to make offerings. But I'm not calling anyone help at all, I do take themselves, and I do not wish any compensation.
Here is the next part of the verse:

Buddha sacrificing themselves for the
Create Network is the responsibility of the
Chief Network Increasing the
Income of the invention, ie the intelligent management.
Try to practice French circuit Sensei has passed.

Because Buddhist-Catholic, 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:

Networks built by us, by our being needs
Painted way feel happy, oneself impact.

"Right Livelihood for Increase" means that the monks have strict precepts of Buddhism. For example, the Sangha to special cover the medical community. If it is not covered medical community has really defrocked. Buddha also set to only eat one meal a day before noon. Limit eating so to scare away evil and conquer lust (ourselves with three other ghosts. If you eat too much body will rebel ma).
Low libido is likely to practice religion. So it should not be too nutritious foods. It is regulated by the Ten Thousand Buddhas.
Although no one is perfect, but I hope that each of us will try the repair yourself to carry on the religious path.

Today is the day that the fresh root and seed your Bodhi mortgages germination.
Refuge in the Three Jewels and born with eyes open, but do not go astray. Born with open eyes mean? This means that you start a new life with open eyes to go to the right path.

The vow of you pray for his future will be the guardian angel tri-legal evidence.
Particularly I have a humble prayer: Who refuge refuge with me or not, who believe Buddha or Others believe in the religion, if not all of the Buddha, I will wait until they become Buddhas, then I become a Buddha.
