Mahayana Sutra of Dependent Origination.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH. Buddha Theory of Mahayana Dao Can Sutra. Vietnamese translation by Thich Tam Chau *** I myself have heard: Once upon a time, the Blessed One was staying in the Mount Kysarakite of the city of Rajasthan, with one thousand two hundred and fifty great Bhikkhus and great Bodhisattvas. At that time, Mr. Tho (2) Shariputra came to the practice place (3) of the great Bodhisattva Maitreya. Arriving at the place, the two asked each other and sat on a large stone table. Thereupon, Mr. Tho: Sa-Li-Tzu turned to the great Bodhisattva Maitreya and said, "Bodhisattva Maitreya! Today, the World-Honored One, observing the glutinous rice fields in the fields, told the Bhikkhus: "Bhikkhus, If anyone can see the cause and effect, then that person can see the Dharma; If anyone sees the Dharma, that person sees the Buddha." He said those words, He remained silent and said nothing more. Maitreya Bodhisattva! The Good One (4) why did he say these words? How was that? - What is Human-Destiny? – What is France? - What is Buddha? What does it mean to see the cause and condition, that is, to see the Dharma? - What is seeing the Dharma, that is, seeing the Buddha? After saying that, the great Bodhisattva Maitreya replied, "Now, the Buddha, the Dharma King, and the True-Transforming-Tri(5) tell the bhikkhus. - Khushi: "If anyone can see the cause and effect, then that person can see the Dharma; If anyone sees the Dharma, that person can see the Buddha.” What is the cause and condition of this time? Saying is Human-Destiny, time: "this should be there, there should be, here is born that's born". Such as: Ignorance condition for Actions, Behavioral conditions for Consciousness, Consciousness condition for Name-and-form, Name-and-form condition for Six-entry, Six-entry condition for Contact, Contact condition for Thu, Acceptance condition for Ai, and Ai condition for craving. Thu, Thu condition for Being, Friendship for Birth, Birth condition for Lao-Tzu, sorrow, lamentation, suffering, sadness, brain, birth-arising are possible. Thus, it is only the beginning of the agglomeration of great, single, and extreme sufferings.(6) Also in this, Ignorance is destroyed, so action is destroyed, Action is destroyed, Consciousness is destroyed, Consciousness is destroyed, so Name-and-form is destroyed, so that the Six-entertainment of Names and Forms is destroyed, Six-enterprises are destroyed, so Contact is destroyed, and Contact is destroyed, so Trees are destroyed. The destruction of love causes the cessation of love, the destruction of love, the destruction of hand, the destruction of hand, the destruction of existence, the destruction of life and the cessation of life, the cessation of birth and death, and the cessation of sorrow, lamentation, suffering, grief, and depression. That is only the cessation of the accumulation of great, single, and extreme sufferings (7). That is how the World-Honored One spoke the Law of Dependent Origination. – What is France? - The eight Noble Paths: right view (seeing the correct truth), right thought (right thinking), right speech (right speech), right karma (right action) -righteous action), righteous destiny (righteous livelihood), righteous effort (truthful effort), righteous thought (remembering righteous truth), and righteous- determination (attention on the right-leaning, the right-way). So the eight Saint-Path-results and Nirvana, the World-Honored One said it, called it the Dharma.(8) - What is Buddha? One who knows all dharmas is called Buddha. The wisdom eye (wisdom eye), the Dharma-body (dharma-nature-body) of the other sees all dharmas, creates the Bodhi-factor(9), and attains the state of Learning, No-- study-dharma.)10) - What is seeing Human-Destiny? - As the Buddha said: "If anyone sees the dharmas of cause-and-effect, he sees cause-and-effect. These dharmas are: permanence (permanently still not arising and passing away), no life (no longer having form and continuous life), separation of life (apart from even talk of short or long life), like-nature (attribute of emptiness, like reality), no-falling-of-nature (emptiness, as real, universal without error and bias), inanimate (nature) As it really is, there is no arising and passing away), no origination (no origination), no action (no creation), no action (no action), no hindrance (no longer being obstructed). , worldless (no longer divided), stillness (permanent silence), fearless (no fear), inviolable (not invaded) and stillness - General (no longer has the appearance of stillness-quietness).(11) If anyone has seen the dharma of cause and condition like this, he must also see for that dharma: permanence, no life, separation of feelings, as-true, no-fall, no-birth, no-arising, no-arising. action, no action, no obstacle, no realm, stillness, no fear, no invasion, no stillness (12). With Right-Wisdom, one can gain Victory over the Dharma, use the Supreme Dharma Body to see the Buddha. (13) Question: Why is it called Human-Destiny? Answer: Having a cause, having a condition is called a cause and a condition, not that there is no cause, there is no condition, so it is called a cause and a condition. The World-Honored One briefly spoke about the behavior of cause-and-effect, saying: Because of the other cause-and-effect, so whether the Tathagata appears to be born or does not appear in the world, the nature of all dharmas (things) object) is still permanent. Until the dharma-nature (the nature of the cause-condition), the dharma-nature (the nature of the dharma of the cause-and-destiny still abides), the dharma-nature (the nature of all such deciding), causality-corresponding-nature (compatibility with cause-and-effect), truth-likeness (the nature of all dharmas is as it is), non-falling-hood-nature (true-likeness-likeness is not wrong -false, biased), invariant (trueness-as if there is no difference), truthfulness (trueness), realism (reality), realism illusory-nature (non-falsity), non-inversion-nature (non-disruptiveness) v. This cause-and-effect, because of two things, can arise. What are those two? – Is: Corresponding Cause and Corresponding Condition. The other predestined predestined has two things: external-cause-condition and internal-destiny.(15) In this, what are the external causes-conditions, the corresponding causes? From the seed comes the sprout, from the sprout gives birth to the leaf, from the leaf to the stem, from the stem to the burning, from the burning to produce the bud, from the bud to flower, from the flower to bear fruit; If there is no seed, the sprout will not be born, until there is no flower, no fruit will be born. There are seeds, new sprouts are born, so when there are flowers, new fruits can also be born. (16) However, the other seed does not give rise to the idea: "I give birth to a sprout". The sprout also does not give rise to the idea: "I am born from the seed". Even the flower does not give rise to the idea: "I bear fruit". The fruit does not give rise to the idea: "I was born from a flower".(17) However, because there is a seed, the sprout is born, and also because there is a flower, the fruit is immediately accomplished. Should contemplating the meaning "foreign person-conditional-dharma, corresponding cause" like that! – How should we observe external-cause-conditions, the corresponding conditions? - Need six precepts (precepts) in harmony. - What are the six precepts of harmony? – They are: earth element (earth), water element (water), fire element (fire), wind element (wind), space element (space) and time (time). Those precepts are in harmony with each other, and at the time of the external-conditional-dhamma, they can arise. Should contemplating the meaning of "foreign cause-conditions, conditions-responsiveness" like that! (18) Talking about the Earth-element is what usually preserves the seed; The water element is what often imbues the seed; Fire element is what usually warms the seed; Wind precepts are the things that often help the seed oscillation; The void is that which does not hinder the seed; Time, time can change the seed. Without these conditions, the seed cannot bear the seed. If outside, the earth element is completely complete, until the water, fire, wind, space, time element... is also completely complete, all in harmony, when the seed is destroyed , sprouts are born.(19) And, in this earth element also does not arise the idea: "I often keep the seed". Likewise, the water element also does not give rise to the idea: “we often imbue the seed”; Fire-world also does not generate the idea: "I often help warm the seed"; wind-world also does not initiate the idea: "we often help the seed fluctuations"; neither the world nor the concept: “we usually do not obstruct the seed”; time does not give rise to the idea: 'I often make the seed change'. The seed also does not give rise to the idea: “I often give birth to a sprout”; the seed does not give rise to the idea: “I am born from these conditions”.(20) However, there are these conditions, when the seed dies, the sprout is born. And, in the same way, when there is a flower, a fruit is born. Thus, the other sprout is not self-created, nor is the other created, is not created by itself (the sprout) with another, is not self-created, nor is it created. must be a time of change, not born of self-nature, nor be born without cause. However, earth, water, fire, wind, space, time-world... in harmony, when the seed is destroyed, the sprout is born.(21) You should observe the meaning of "external-cause-conditions, corresponding-conditions" like that! Should bring the five kinds of contemplation of the dharma, contemplation of the external-human condition-other. What are those five things? – Is: not permanent (irregular), not interrupted (unbroken), not transferred (unmoved), from small causes to great results and same-similar to the old cause. What is not common anymore? – Because the sprout is the same seed, the two directions are different; the other sprout is not the seed; not when the seed is destroyed, a new sprout is born, nor is it a seed that does not die, but a sprout that can arise; When the seed decays, the sprout is born, so it is "not permanent". What is non-stop? - It is not the seed of the past that perishes, but gives birth to a seed, and the same is not a seed that does not die, a germ can arise, a seed also decays, meanwhile, it is just like a high balance, a bit low, but the sprouts are born, so it is "unstoppable". What is non-transferable? – Since, sprout and seed are different, sprout is not seed, so it is “unmovable”. What is a small cause that produces great results? From a small seed, a large fruit is born, so it is called "From a small cause, large fruit is born". What is the same analogy with the old kernel? – Because, like a seed when it is newly planted, it produces another fruit, so it is called “the same as the old seed”. That is why the five kinds of contemplation of the dharma, contemplation of external-human conditions! In the same way, the internal cause-conditions are also born of two things. What are those two? – Is: corresponding cause and condition-corresponding. – What is the meaning of being called internal-cause-conditions-dham, cause-correspondence? - That is, before from ignorance to the condition for action, up to the birth condition for old age and death. If ignorance does not arise, there will be no formations, even if there is no birth, there will be no aging and death. Thus, there is ignorance, so new formations can be born, until there is birth, so old age and death can be obtained.(23) However, ignorance also does not arise the idea: "I give birth to action"; practice also does not generate the idea: "we are born from ignorance"; even birth does not arise the idea: "I give birth to old-age-and-death"; Lao Tzu also does not give rise to the idea: “I come from the place of birth”. (24) However, because there is ignorance, new formations are born; also, because there is birth, old-age and death are new.(25) Therefore, one should contemplate the meaning of "internal cause-conditions, corresponding causes" like that! - How should we observe the internal-cause-conditions, the corresponding conditions? - Need six precepts of harmony. What are the six precepts of harmony? - Are: earth-world, water-world, fire-world, wind-world, space-world and harmony-consciousness. Such "internal causes and conditions" should be observed!(26) – What is the practice of the six precepts, in the internal-cause-condition-dharma? - What makes this body solid, called "earth-world"; what makes this body-gathering, called "water-world"; which digests food and drinks in this body, called “fire element”; the thing that makes the breath out, in, out in this body, called "wind-world"; Instead of making this body empty, it is called "space-world" and the five consciousnesses of the body that correspond (to each other) and the mind-body consciousness, as well as a bunch of reeds, achieve the seed of name-and-form. mind, body) of this body, called "consciousness-world"(27). Without these conditions, time cannot give birth to a body. If the inner sphere is completely complete, and likewise, even water, fire, wind, and space, the consciousness element is also completely complete, and everything is in harmony with each other, the body and body will be born. out.(28) However, the other earth-world does not arise the idea: "we often do the solidity in the body"; The water-world also does not generate the idea: "we often do the gatherings for the sake of the body"; Fire-world also does not generate the idea: "we often do digestion of food and drink in the body"; wind-world also does not generate the idea: "we usually make the breath out, in, out of the body"; no-world also does not generate the idea: "we often do the emptiness in the body"; consciousness-world also does not generate the concept: “we often accomplish the name-and-form of this body; The body does not give rise to the idea: "I was born from these conditions". However, at a time of these conditions, the body can be born. But, the other earth-world is not I, not a being, not a life-false, not a birth-false, not a Confucian, not an author, not a son. boys, not a girl, not like Hoang Mon, not self-sufficient, not self-centered, nor anything else. Until, the water element, the fire element, the wind element, the space element, and the consciousness element are not Me, not a being, not a false life, not a false life, no must not be Confucian, not an author, not a son, not a girl, not a Royal-like, not a self, not a self, not a something else like that.(29) - What is Ignorance? - For these six precepts arise single-perception (perception as one), unified-perception (perception as an entity made up of dharmas), permanent perception (perception as permanent and permanent), persevering (thought as firm), indestructible (thought as indestructible), peaceful and happy (thought as being happy) perceiving being sentient beings, life, life-false . There is ignorance, for the realms arise: greed, hatred, delusion; what for the realm-arising: greed, hatred, delusion, that is ignorance-condition for practice; which for all things is usually clearly distinguished, called “consciousness”; together with the four aggregates of consciousness (form, feeling, perception, action), called name-and-form; y into the base of name-and-form, called six-entry; three French harmony (base, ceiling, consciousness) called contact; know-feel the touch, called receptors; indulge in that feeling, called craving; growth of that craving, called holding; from the place of clinging that gives birth to "birth-karma" (active in the act of generating name-and-form), called being; which from the other (karma) gives birth to the five aggregates (name-and-form), called birth; born and then mature five aggregates, called old (old age); old age and five aggregates of destruction-destruction, called death (death); while dying, the heart is full of passion and heat, called melancholy (sorrow); from that sorrowful place, produce words, called lamentation (lament-breathe); the body of the five consciousness suffers, called suffering; ideas (initiating ideas); consciousness-bear all suffering, called pros (lo); enough of the above like with the dependent afflictions, called brain.(31) Much darkness should be called ignorance; creation, should be called the action (all actions); clear distinction, so called wake; rely on each other, so called name-and-form; do birth-start door, so called six-entry; touch-touch should be called contact; sensation should be called receptor; longing should be called craving; accept, should be called defense; birth-start has the body later (after-belonging body) should be called being; born in five aggregates should be called birth; five mature aggregates should be called old; five aggregates of destruction-destruction, so called death; sorrow should be called melancholy; lamentation should be called lamentation; brain body called suffering; brain mind called pros; afflictions should be called brain.(32) Moreover, not knowing the true-nature, crazy-unknowing, called "ignorance". Because of such "ignorance", there are three kinds of actions (actions): happy actions (doing good deeds), sinful actions (doing sins) and non-actions (doing in unwavering action). )(33). From the place of happiness (doing good deeds) born happiness-consciousness (karmic-consciousness in doing good), that is ignorance-condition for action; from the place of crime-execution (doing a crime), giving birth to a criminal-action-consciousness (karma in doing sin), then it is called a predestination for consciousness; from the place of non-movement (doing in the unwavering), giving birth to non-action-consciousness (kamma-consciousness in doing without wavering), then it is called the consciousness condition for mentality-materiality. Because form-growth, from within the six-entry door into the matter, it is the name-and-form condition for the six-entry. From the six-entry, there are six aggregates, contact, which is the six-entry condition for contact. From the place of contact, the other is born, the other feels each other, At that time it was called the contact for the tree. Distinguishing clearly the feeling then, but born infected-love, passion-imitation, then it is called receiving predestined for love. Knowing that, born with love and passion, not wanting to be separated from beauty and living in a peaceful place, but born with the desire for joy, that is the love condition for grasping. Having born a happy will, from the body, mouth, and mind create post-becoming karma (karma of having a body in the future), which is the precondition for becoming. From the kamma of that other existence will arise the five aggregates, which are the conditions for birth. After birth, the other five aggregates are matured and destroyed, then it is called the birth and death conditions for old age and death.(34) Mouth and mind create post-possession karma (karma of having a body later), which is the precondition for becoming. From the kamma of that other existence will arise the five aggregates, which are the conditions for birth. After birth, the other five aggregates are mature and destroyed, that time is called the birth and death conditions for old age and death.(34) Mouth and mind create post-possession karma (karma of having a body later), which is the precondition for becoming. From the kamma of that other existence will arise the five aggregates, which are the conditions for birth. After birth, the other five aggregates are matured and destroyed, then it is called the birth and death conditions for old age and death.(34) So the other twelve factors of cause-and-effect, mutually cause and condition, are not permanent, not impermanent, not conditioned, not unconditioned. there is no action), not that there is no cause, not that there is no condition, not the feeling of "karma", not the dharma at all, not the destruction of dharma, is not the law of destruction; From beginningless time until now, it is still like a stream of water flowing downhill, without interruption. However, these twelve factors of causality, which cause each other, are mutually conditioned, are not permanent, not impermanent, not conditioned, not unconditioned, not without cause. , not that there is no condition, not the feeling of "being-karma", not the end of the law, not the destruction of the law, not the destruction of the law; From beginningless time to the present, it is still like a stream flowing downhill, without interruption, and it has four permanent limbs that capture twelve causes and conditions. What are those four limbs? - Is: ignorance, craving, karma, consciousness. "Consciousness", taking the seed-nature as the cause. "Karma" takes filling-nature(36) as the cause. "Ignorance" and "love" take defilement-nature as the cause. In this, "karma" and "afflictions", give rise to the "consciousness" of the seed (seed). "Karma" is the time to make a field for the "consciousness" of the seed, the "love" time to imbue the "consciousness" of the seed, the "ignorance" for the birth of the "consciousness" of the seed. Without these conditions, the "consciousness" of the seed-seed cannot be fulfilled.(37) However, the other karma also does not generate the idea: “I am now making a field for the "consciousness" of the seed; craving also does not generate the concept: “we now imbue the “consciousness” of the seed”; Ignorance also does not give rise to the idea: "we now give birth to the "consciousness" of the seed"; The "consciousness" of the other seed does not give rise to the idea: "I am born from all these conditions".(38) However, the "consciousness" of the seed, he enters the field of karma and that love is permeated, the ignorance is born, and in the mother's womb gives birth to the germ of name-and-form (39). That name-and-form seed is not self-made (made by oneself), nor is it other than one (made by others), neither by oneself nor by others, neither by self-existence, nor by self-existence. right time variable; not self-born, not a temporary author (the author), nor without a cause.(40) However, when parents are in harmony when other conditions are in harmony, dharmas (causes and conditions): no-self (no self), no-self, ego (no self, no-self, no self-possessions). TA), as well as vanity. The other illusory dharmas, the cause and the conditions are completely complete, the birthplace of that cause and the other, entering the mother's womb, attaining the "consciousness", holding the mother's womb, the name germ- color.(41) Like when giving birth to eye-consciousness, if there are enough five conditions, one can be born. What is that year? - That is: y enters the eye (eye), form (form), light (insight), space (emptiness) and y enters the mind (initiation of ideas), so eye-consciousness is born. OK. In this, the eye acts as a refuge for the eye-consciousness, form and time serve as an object for the eye-consciousness, light and time work manifest, space-time works unobstructed, and attention spans time. work-thoughts. Without these conditions, eye-consciousness cannot arise. If, within the access of the eye, completely complete, down to form, light, space, and volition, are equally complete, all in harmony, label-consciousness is born.(42) However, the other eye does not give rise to the idea: "I am now the refuge of the eye-consciousness", the form-form does not give rise to the idea: "I am now the object of the eye-consciousness"; light also does not generate the idea: “I am now working to manifest for eye-consciousness”; space also does not generate the idea: "we now work without blocking for eye-consciousness"; the mind also does not generate the idea: "we now make the place of thought for eye-consciousness"; The other eye-consciousness also does not give rise to the idea: "I am from those conditions". However, there are conditions that eye-consciousness can be born; to the other senses, depending on its type will know it.(43) Thus, there are no dharmas (causes, conditions) from one life to another; however, causes and conditions, are completely complete, the time of karma-results (results of kamma-consciousness) also appear.(44) For example, in a bright mirror an image appears, although the other aspect does not move the mirror, the causes and conditions are completely complete, so the image also appears. Thus, not a little thing from one place dies, is born to another, the cause and conditions are completely complete, so karma also appears (45). For example, if the moon moves up here about forty-two thousand yojanas, and yet the image of the other moon appears in a small bowl of water, then the moon does not move from there to the bowl. have this country. However, the cause and conditions are completely complete, so the moon also appears. Thus, there is not a little thing from one place to die, to be born to another place, but the cause and conditions are completely complete, so karma-results also appear.(46) For example, if fire, cause and conditions are incomplete, time cannot burn; when causes and conditions are complete, they can burn. Thus, the dharma is not-self, no-self as well as space-space; When he entered the illusory dharma, the causes and conditions were completely complete, he was born in the place of birth, entered the mother's womb, and attained the consciousness of the seed, the karma and the defilements that gave birth to the name-and-form. .(47) Therefore, it is necessary to contemplate the matter: "internal-cause-conditional-dhamma, corresponding-condition" like that! Should bring the five kinds of contemplation of the dharma, contemplating the internal causes of the dharma. What are those five things? – Is: not permanent (irregular), not interrupted (unbroken), not transferred (unmoved), from small causes to great results and same-similar to the old cause. What is not common anymore? That is to say, the five ultimate aggregates of the other sambhogakaya disappear, together with the five aggregates undergoing birth, the two directions are different, because the five ultimate aggregates pass away, not the five aggregates undergoing birth. out; That ultimate retribution-body disappears, the five aggregates also cease, the five aggregates that are subject to birth also appear, so it's called "non-permanent".(48) What is unending? - Not when the five aggregates are destroyed, the five aggregates are subject to the birth and death; nor does it not cease to be, the other ultimate sambhogakaya ceases, the five aggregates also cease, while the five aggregates are undergoing birth, it's just like a balance, a little bit high and low, but born. okay, so it's called "no ending.(49) What is non-transferable? – Since, sentient beings, from a place other than “they are co-congenial”, are born where “they are co-congenial”, so it is called “unmovable”.(50) What is small cause, great fruit? – Do small karma, feel great results (51), so from small causes, big results. - Like doing the other cause, feeling the other result, the same with the other cause, so it is called "similar". Therefore, you should bring the five kinds of contemplation of dharma, contemplation of causes and conditions of dharma! Venerable Sa-Li-Tzu! If there is one who, using righteous wisdom, contemplates the dharmas of cause-and-effect, which the Tathagata speaks, such as lifelessness, separation of life, as-nature, non-falling, non-birth, no-starter, no action, no action, no hindrance, no realm, stillness, no fear, no invasion, no end, no-thing truthfulness), falsehood (false), madness (unreal deception), unreal (unrelenting, real), disease-like (like a sick person), cancer-like (like a person with boils), as arrow (like being shot by an arrow), past loss (error), impermanent (not permanent), suffering, emptiness, not-self (without TA), so: were we born in the past life or not , without discerning the boundaries of the past? Where will you be born in the future life, but you can't even distinguish the boundaries of the future? What is this (current)? Here's how, what to make? Where do these sentient beings come from? From here, where will you be born when you die? It is also not possible to distinguish the “have” of the present.)53) Again destroy the wrong views (perverted thoughts) of the world's recluses and brahmins, which are self-views, sentient beings' views, life-longers-- ant, personal-opinion, hy-possible-opinion, auspicious-witted, open-union opinion. Knowing clearly, like Dala tree, cut off all roots and then, in the future life, witness the law of birthlessness and non-death.(55) Venerable Sa-Li-Tzu! If there is a person who is fully capable of such "forbearance of the law of non-birth"(56), who can clearly distinguish between these causes and conditions, the Tathagata, the Consecration, the Righteous Transformation, the Wisdom- Practice-Face, Good-Speaking, World-Solving, Unsurpassed-Scholar, Regulatory-Scepter, Celestial-Sphinx, Buddha, World-Honored One(57), immediately signed for the way- Unsurpassed Righteous Enlightenment. At that time, the great Bodhisattva Maitreya had said this, and Tho Sa-Li-Tzu and all the people in the world, Gods, Humans, Asuras, Kantvas, etc., When they heard the great Bodhisattva Maitreya speak about this Dharma, they all believed in it.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL.( GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.3/7/2021.
