THE BINH NIRVAN SUTRA. Dong-Tan, Sa-Mon Thich Phap-Translates Sanskrit into Chinese characters Thich Tam-Chau translates Chinese characters into Vietnamese characters II. A-NAN KHAI-THANH At that time when Mr. Ananda saw the earth tremble, his mind was so scared that he thought to himself: "Why is there such a thing today. And, such a thing, is not a small predestination, now I should go and ask the World-Honored One!" Thinking that, Mr. Ananda immediately got up from his seat, approached the Buddha, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha: "O World-Honored One! Just now, I was alone there, meditating, and suddenly I saw that this earth had eighteen vibrational signs; I hear the drums of the heavens in space again, my mind is so scared, I don't know what kind of cause and effect it is, respectfully ask the World-Honored One to teach me!" The Buddha taught: "Mr Ananda! This earth trembles because of eight causes and conditions: One is the land that stands firm by water, This water is sustained by the wind, and this wind is based on space. In the void, there is a time when a strong wind blows up, blowing into the other wind, the other wind moves; The other wind has moved, the other water has moved; That country moved, this earth moved. Second, the bhikkhus or bhikkhunis, the Upasakas, the Upasakas, who practice in supernatural powers, can only be accomplished, and if they want to experiment on their own, the earthly realm is created. This dynamic. Third, when the Bodhisattva (Bodhissattva) in the Tusita heaven, was about to descend into the womb, the earth moved. Fourth, when the Bodhisattva was born from his right hip, the earth moved. Fifth, when the Bodhisatta left the palace of the king to leave home and study the Way, he became the One-Rank Tri-Tri, so this land was in turmoil. Sixthly, when the Tathagata attained enlightenment, starting for the sake of Humanity and Heaven, he turned the wheel of law[9], so this earth moved. Seventh, when the Tathagata discharges the life of the world, using his divine powers to stay in his body, so this earth moves. Eighth, when the Tathagata enters Nirvana, the earth moves. Mr. A-Nan! You should know the cause-and-effect of this earth moving, there are eight such things!" Mr. A-Nan! There are eight sets of them: One is, Slaughter [10]. Second, Brahmin[11]. Third, Chief-false[12], Lay-Layer[13]. Fourth, Sa-Mon[14]. The fifth is, the Four Heavenly-Kings. Sixth, Dao-li-tian. Seventh, Mara. Eight is, Pham-king. The eight groups of us I look at their temperament, who wants to be saved, I depending on where they appear because they speak the Dharma, and the other person does not know that I am speaking. Mr. A-Nan! There are eight places of superior victory (victory-origin): One is, in the mind there is a perception of the form, and less contemplation of the form outside. Second, in the mind there is the perception of form-form, outside the contemplation of form-forms increase. Third, in the mind do not think about the form, outside the contemplation of the form less. Fourth, in the mind do not think about the form, outside the contemplation of the form more. Fifth, the shop all colors are green. Sixth, the shop all colors are yellow. Seventh, all colors are red. Eighth, all colors are white. That is the method of victory of a practitioner of Meditation![15] Again, Mr. A-Nan! There are eight solutions to liberation: First, there is the perception of form in the mind, and outside the need for contemplation of form. Second, in the mind not perceiving form, outside contemplating form by thinking is impure. Third, pure-liberation, Fourthly, no-land-liberation. Five is, Consciousness-land of liberation. Sixth, No-Owner-land of liberation. Seven is, Non-thought, non-non-thought-land of liberation. Eight is, cessation-concentration-liberation. These eight methods of liberation are also the supreme victory of those who practice meditation. If anyone reaches the final destination of these dharmas, that is to say for all dharmas, they are free from fear.[16] Mr. A-Nan! Did you know: Once upon a time when I became religious, When Uruvilvakasyapa was at the river Nirvana, at that time Mara came to me and asked me, "Lord World-Honored One! Now the World-Honored One should enter Nirvana! O God-God! Now the Good One should enter Nirvana! - What happen? - Those who should be saved are all liberated! Now is the time for the World-Honored One to enter Nirvana!" Mara invited me three times like this, I replied: "Now is not the time for me to enter Nirvana! - What happen? - My four sets of communities are not complete, those who should be saved, have not reached their destination, the pagans, have not been conquered!" I replied like this three times, Ma Vuong heard it, with a sad heart, returned to the Heavenly Palace. Due to the old predestined conditions, now Mara came back and invited me again: "O World-Honored One! Now the World-Honored One should enter Nirvana! O God-God! Now the Good One should enter Nirvana! - What happen? - Formerly, when I was on the bank of the Nirvana River, I urged the Blessed One to enter Nirvana, but at that time the Blessed One saw that I encouraged him to do so, and he replied: "Now four sets-- My congregation of Bhikkhus, Bhikkhunis, Upasakas, and Upasikas are incomplete, and have not yet subdued the non-Buddhists, so I have not yet entered Nirvana. O World-Honored One! Now that the four orders of the World-Honored One are complete, the non-Buddhist religions have been subdued, and all that should have been done has been completed, the Blessed One should now enter Nirvana!" Māra invited me three times like this, I replied: “In the past, by the bank of the River Nirvana, I promised you my four sets were incomplete, up to now, they are complete. , after three months I will enter Nirvana. Mara heard what I said, rejoiced and returned to Heaven. Here I accepted the invitation of Mara, I immediately gave up the life of the world, temporarily staying in the body for three months, because of that predestined cause, the earth is shaken!" At that time, Ananda, having heard the Buddha's words, his heart was so sad, his whole body was flushed with blood, and he wept bitterly, and said to the Buddha: "O World-Honored One! May the World-Honored One have mercy on us, stay in the world for one kalpa or young one, benefiting gods and people in the world!" Mr. Ananda invited the Blessed One three times like that. At that time, the World-Honored One said to Ananda: "Now is not the time for you to invite the Tathagata to stay in the world! - What happen? - I promised Mara, after three months I will enter Nirvana, now how can you ask me to stay in the world? Mr. A-Nan! Mr. My attendant, have you ever heard me say two words? - Mr. Ananda said to the Buddha: "O World-Honored One! I have never heard the Angel-Sphinx say two words! Before, I had only heard the Blessed One, because the four sets of congregations said the Dharma: "A person who possesses the four divine powers can live in the realm of life for a whole kalpa or a young kalpa, how much less for the Tathagata? Those who possess immeasurable supernatural powers, but now cannot live in the realm of life for one kalpa or young for one kalpa, then give up their worldly lifespan and temporarily stay for three months, so I respectfully ask the World - Have mercy on us, stay in the realm of life for about one kalpa or young! The World-Honored One replied to Ananda: "Now, the reason why I am giving up my lifespan is because of you! What happen? A while ago, at this place, I turned to him and said: "A person who has obtained the four divine powers can still live in the realm of life for a whole kalpa or not for one kalpa, not to mention that the Tathagata now has great supernatural powers-- labor, can't it be in the realm of a full life or a short life? I graciously say this three times, to open the door for him to encourage the World-Honored One to stay in the world, but he kept silent, never asked me to stay for a lifetime or a young life, so now I'm just temporary three months of life, why do you now ask me to stay in the world? Mr. Ananda heard the Buddha say that, knew that the Buddha must have entered Nirvana, could not be encouraged, the mind was born with pain, sadness, anxiety, tears and tears, cannot be braked. The World-Honored One saw that Mr. Ananda was suffering so much, and he used consolation: "Mr. Ananda! Now you shouldn't be so sad! You should know: All the conditioned things are like that; All assemblies must separate!" Thereupon, the World-Honored One said a verse: All conditioned dharmas return to impermanence. The love and harmony, All go to the place of separation. Action-General things like that, Shouldn't be sad! Then Ananda lamented and said: "The Supreme Being, the Supreme Being, will soon enter Nirvana, now how can I not be sad!" Then he broke his head and shouted loudly: "Alas, what a pain! The eyes of the world are gone, and soon all sentient beings will lose their good father!" The World-Honored One said to Mr. Ananda: "Now you should not be worried, even if I stay in the realm of life for a life or a lifetime, but the union must also be destroyed; Such is the nature and appearance of conditioned dharmas, you should not be suffering for my own entry into Nirvana! Now I want to go back to Chong-Length of the lecture halls, can you help me to bring the crouch back!" Thereupon, the World-Honored One and Ananda returned to the Chong-Lecture halls. TOTAL-WEATHER Mr. Ananda was sitting in meditation, suddenly felt the earth shake. He woke up scared and thought to himself that this earthquake must have had a cause? He went to ask Buddha, What is the reason for such an earthquake? The Buddha taught: "Earthquakes have eight causes and conditions: 1/ This earth is dependent on water and wind to keep each other. When the wind moves, the water moves, when the water moves, the earthquakes. 2/ When the four groups cultivate, they want to experiment with supernatural powers. 3. When the bodhisattva descended into the womb. 4/ When the Bodhisattva was born. 5/ When the Bodhisatta left home, he learned the Way to become Necessary-triggered. 6/ When the Tathagata becomes enlightened, he begins to turn the Dharma wheel. 7/ When the Tathagata discharges his life. 8/ When the Tathagata enters Nirvana." Next, he told Ananda that in the Buddha-dharma there are eight sets of them; Meditation practice has eight victory-bases, 8 solutions to liberation. And, He made it clear that Ma Vuong asked him to enter Nirvana for him to hear. Mr. A-Nan went to the top of the ceremony, asking the Buddha to stay in the world. The Buddha did not accept, he said: "I have made a promise to Mara. I didn't say two words. And, why did I mention before, you didn't invite, Now is not the time!” Mr. A-Nan is sad! The Buddha said, "Don't worry, everything is the same! All conditioned dharmas belong to impermanence, love and affection must be separated from each other!"

White Paper by Most Venerable Thich Tam Chau: The Great Tribulation of Buddhism and the Country, 1996 In 1966, the Church Congress forced me to be rector for another term. The Church was afraid of the generals competing for influence, unable to have a solid foundation to build the country, the Church requested (election) the Constituent Assembly. This request is spread throughout the Church. But within a few months, the request for elections to the Constituent Assembly was accepted by the Government of the Generals on April 14, 1966. After the movement to elect the Constituent Assembly was satisfied, in the name of the President, I sent a notice to the places that knew: to stop fighting, and only put up programs to build the law. On May 2, 1966, I flew to Colombo, the capital of Ceylon, Together with Sangha delegates from other countries drafted the Charter and established the World Sangha from May 6, 1966, and I assumed the position of Vice President.
