Ten Good Things.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH. People are drifting in samsara also because of creating evil karma, those karmas come from actions ( body ), speech ( speech ), and thought ( mind ) that are born; In order to eliminate evil karma, the Buddha said the Ten Good Things Sutra (Ten Good Karmas), it is all good roots, will have a beautiful body, in a pure and dignified land, complete achievements. II. Ten Goods: The Buddha spoke this Sutra of Ten Virtues at the palace of Ta Kiet La Long King. In this Dharma assembly, the Buddha called Ta Kiet La Long Vuong and taught that: "All sentient beings, because of their different minds, create different karmas; because of that karma, sentient beings are reincarnated in the 6 paths. Dragon King !You Have you seen this assembly in this assembly and all sentient beings have different bodies and forms? Those who have wisdom, clearly know the cause and effect, should practice good karma, because only by cultivating good karma will they feel a good body and a dignified state. Dragon King! You try to see the physical appearance of the Tathagata and the Bodhisattvas, who have all these good signs and bright rays, all come from cultivating good karma. As for all living beings of form, either bad or good, or big or small, each person is caused by his own mind creating unwholesome karma. Therefore, if you know how to cultivate good karma and teach people to understand cause and effect and cultivate good karma, the decisive moment will be free from evil retributions, have a beautiful body, and be as dignified as the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. . Dragon King! You must know that the Bodhisattva has a dharma that can put an end to all suffering in the evil paths, that the Bodhisattva always observes and practices good dharmas, increases the growth of good mindfulness practices; there is not a single evil thought intermingled, so the evil dharmas are completely cut off, and the good dharmas are perfected…” Good dharma means good dharma: All sravakas, pratyekabuddhas, bodhisattvas, and buddhas all rely on that dharma and achieve it. That Dharma is ten good karma including: Do not kill. No adultery. No theft. Do not lie. Not saying embroidery. Do not speak two-way tongue. Do not speak maliciously. No covetousness. Not angry. Not infatuated. These ten good karmas fall into three categories: Body Karma, Speech Karma, and Mind Karma. A) Body Karma: Body actions have 3 : a) Do not kill: Means not to destroy the life of all species, not to destroy oneself, not to send others to kill, to see other people kill without joy; On the contrary, Buddhists have to find ways to save living beings, such as buying birds, buying fish to let them live a free life, without being caught in fish pots or cages. Fish raised in pots, birds kept in the lap, even though they have enough to eat and drink, they can't be free, unlike the situation where people are imprisoned, we don't want to be imprisoned why do we imprison them , we want to be free all the time, we should buy birds and fish to set them free. b) Do not steal:Do not appropriate for your part the possessions of others from land, houses, fields, gardens, vehicles, which are great things for even small things like a needle or thread, nor rob others. People who do not agree to give, seek to appropriate, and freely use are also theft. Using force to appropriate others is a crime of robbery, using deceitful means to deceive people, even tax evasion is also part of theft, all such wrongdoings are not done, but instead bring money. their property, their means to help sentient beings be happy and full, that's the charity worth doing. c) No sexual misconduct:That means not living debauched, playing, gambling, drinking, smoking books. On the contrary, they must practice abstinence in purity, monks completely forbid sexual misconduct, married lay people must abstain from sex, live only in monogamy, pure from body to spirit. Evil sex is the root of cyclical birth and death, Buddhist practitioners must gradually give up evil desires, in order to become a pure person. B) Oral Karma: Belonging to verbal karma is coarse speech, there are 4 ways: a) Do not lie: That is, do not tell false facts such as See not see see, see say do not see. Listen, don't listen, don't listen, listen. I know I don't know, I can't say I know. Know left to say right, know right to say left. When we encounter a special case where we must tell the truth to save the lives of sentient beings, we are forced to say, for example, there is a hunter chasing an animal, we see the way that animal runs, the hunter comes to us. , asked me if I saw the animal running, in order to save the animal from death, I could say no. Thus, we have practiced compassion. Talking and playing should not be said, in the Maitreya Sutra, Buddha has forbidden any comment. b) Do not speak cruel words: Do not curse people, even if they are superiors, have power, like grandparents, parents should not rely on that power to scold people or children, even if they make mistakes. mistakes, on the contrary should use gentle words, teach people to see mistakes, to avoid next time. c) Don't talk nonsense: Do not add or subtract to avoid saying yes or saying no, using odd words to make the story false with the truth of white to black, black to white, or use fancy words to tell the story. entice people to harm people, these things should not be done, but should speak the right words, true to their heart. d) Do not speak two-way tongue:Do not say shock, go to Party A to speak badly of Party B, to Party B to speak badly of Party A, the purpose of causing division, making the two parties hostile to each other. Instead, use words to neutralize all enmity. C) Thought Karma: Thoughts, imaginations have 3 ways to create mind karma: a) No desire:Do not covet the five pleasures of life: beauty, wealth, fame, sleep, and food. The desire for beauty costs money, sometimes it has to use bad tricks to lose human quality, when it is not satisfied, it causes jealousy, hatred, killing, imprisonment. Greed for wealth must torture the body to make a lot of money, sometimes it has to use deep schemes and poisons to harm people who take possessions. Greed for fame has to go in and out, sometimes it takes a lot of work to get a vain name. Greed for delicious food makes the body susceptible to disease. Craving for sleep makes the brain dull. The five pleasures that make people imprisoned, sin, are the main cause of binding people in samsara. b) No anger: Anger is a bad character, very harmful, it is like a strong fire, burning everything around both oneself and others. In the Buddhist scriptures, it is said: A single thought of anger and resentment will open, and the doors of karma will open. When he was angry, he burned all the forest of merit." In the Ten Thien Kamma Sutra, those who are not angry will receive the following eight items of mind-dharma: No heartache. No anger. Not interested in fighting. Straight and gentle mind. Compassionate mind like Buddha. Often doing peaceful benefits for sentient beings. The body is dignified, sentient beings respect. Having the virtue of patience is quickly reborn in the Brahma world. Through contemplation of compassion, the mind generates compassion, we do not get angry when someone makes us angry, those who do it to make us angry, because of ignorance, they do so. we should love them, only a loving heart can tolerate and forgive the mistakes of others. c) No delusion: Ignorance is the source of all sins, because of ignorance people do not distinguish right from wrong, do not clearly identify right and wrong, cling to their own understanding, it obscures the truth and truth. . Those who are not delusional are those who have wisdom, practice good karma, should contemplate the cause and effect of birth and death to eliminate ignorance, and be diligent on the path to liberation. III. Conclusion: The Buddha taught the Ten Good Karma Sutras to let us get rid of our sins, rekindle and gradually increase good karma, to gradually release the bonds in samsara, gradually progress to Buddhahood. By doing the ten good deeds, we gain the following benefits: Reform body and mind: First of all, we reform our body and mind, if a person makes a sincere commitment, within 7 years, his body and mind will completely change.
