Mystic Power From the Pages of the Sutras The history of human thought and religion will probably mark a turning point on the day when the Buddha, according to legend, at his birth took seven steps on a lotus to declare "Heaven The upper world is the only self-respecting Self." We need not question the validity of these facts and statements, for they are merely symbolic, as are many facts in all religions, but it should only be noted that during the 49 years of his preaching, Buddha, the content of that statement is reflected in all the pages of the sutras. The self here, in my humble opinion, has absolutely nothing to do with the conventional notion of self in the scriptures, and its opposite is the concept of no-self. In Buddhist thought, whether there is a Self that exists in the policy of "four great stages, not the five aggregates of non-existentiality"? Or is there a Self that stands firm against the whirlwind of total negation with "no, no, no" in the Heart Sutra? The self here is the Mind of Wisdom or Wisdom, arising from the realm of holy wisdom. This is the light that shines from the realm of "basic enlightenment" (mălamantra) dispelling all the mythical shadows of dark values ​​in the world. Spiritual values ​​in religions are always established by revelation or from a supernatural force, to ensure their supernatural nature. The Christian prophet Moses received instruction and law from God on the top of Mount Sinai; The Prophet Muhammad of Islam relied on the revelation of Allah to narrate the Qur'an; Even the most mundane philosopher, Confucius of China, had to rely on the images of Yao, Shun, Zhou Gong, etc. v... Only the Buddha is the only one who declares himself to be the one who finds the truth by means of wisdom, and disseminates that truth to all the heavenly realms. The light from that wisdom radiates throughout the three thousand great thousand worlds so that people can see the great and perfect structure of the universe according to the theory of dependent origination, and reveal all the mysteries of life. Supernatural values, which once cast a shadow over the human brain, were pushed into the past, so that the Perfection of Wisdom could be fully manifested. Feeling that, we can realize the wonderful meaning in the message "Heaven in the world is the only one in the world!" In a way, we can compare the Self in this message to the emergence of Reason, which opened the Age of Enlightenment in Europe in the early 18th century, dispels the darkness of darkness. the Middle Ages. The message of the Buddha also dispels all the dark shadows of the gods, to open up the vast heavens of enlightenment. The realm of self-realized holy wisdom in Buddhism can be likened to a fire. That fire can be lit with a whole forest, a tree trunk, a stove, a lamp, or even just a match, etc., but as long as the fire is still burning, the other fire will not be lost. It is the realm of self-realized holy wisdom that gives the mystical power to the Buddhist scriptures. Buddhist scriptures are lit only by the fire of wisdom, not by something else. Everything else is "naturally holy", according to the spirit of Patriarch Dat Ma's reply to Emperor Luong Vo, as long as we have not yet felt the mystical power from the pages of the sutras. That mystical power is nourished by the realm of self-realization of holy wisdom. That is the ultimate realm of the "unique Self". "Once one feels the mystical power from the pages of the sutras, a practitioner's practice will no longer be attached to rigid forms. A genuine temple nourished by the mystical power from the pages of sutras will naturally turn into a pure ashram for study and practice. It will be a dignified place of Wisdom for people to follow the Buddha's teachings and seek liberation, not a place of tourism or charity, funerals, etc... I have a bit of a predestined relationship with Buddhism. should often read, translate scriptures, to study and meditate. And every time I read and translate, I often feel the mysterious power from each verse. Every word is a nectar, every sentence is a Dharma treasure. When I was translating more than half of Lang Gia, I became seriously ill. I ask Tam Bao to bless me with enough health to complete the project. The nights I struggled to translate the sutras, I felt strangely happy, though not very safe. Translated to the part where the Buddha also had to suffer many times, I suddenly saw that the disease was completely gone, body and mind relaxed. I believe that mysterious power comes from the pages of sutras, when we read the sutras with the whole heart of "faith, interpretation, acceptance, and maintenance." Since then, I have again believed in the power of the scriptures. Each page of the sutra, even each verse, not only opens our mind to inconceivable worlds of thought, but also has a subtle impact on body and mind. When the translation of the Lang Gia Sutra was completed, and it was accepted to print by a publisher, Étienne Lamotte's L'Enseignement de Vimalakīrti - the translation of the Vimalakirti Sutra into French from Tibet - attracted me again. And I again began to translate this wonderful sutra. Because translating the scriptures means reading the scriptures carefully through each word.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.24/11/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
