Before the Buddha came to the Bodhi tree to meditate and after the Buddha became enlightened, he went to teach the Dharma, it was also him, no one else.

But the results of his becoming a Buddha and saving sentient beings are completely different from what he did before he became a Buddha. Therefore, people have a second view of the Buddha that he is a sublime saint. Indeed, when Prince Siddhartha went to Bodh Gaya to eat food, the five brothers Kieu Tran Nhu criticized him for regressing, unable to practice asceticism, so they left the prince to find another place to practice. Because these five men all witnessed Ly was born with joy and happiness, but the recluse Cu Dam did not enter this samadhi to live with joy and happiness, and went begging for food, then he gave up. But not as they thought, after 49 days of deep meditation under the Bodhi tree, he became a Buddha and immediately went to Loc Uyen to save the five brothers Kieu Tran Nhu. Becoming a Buddha or achieving the path power of the Supremely Perfectly Enlightened One, of course, the Buddha’s divine power had a strong impact on these five sages, causing them to automatically kneel to pay respects to the Buddha, completely different from their attitude formerly despised Him. In fact, these five hermits have attained the Four Meditations and Eight Concentrations, so as soon as the Buddha came, they saw the Buddha with their meditative eyes to realize the omniscient mind hidden within the Buddha. Not having attained samadhi, we see that everyone is the same. Just like we have not yet entered meditation, so in the mountains and valleys, we feel sad. And those who attained samadhi were happy with the scenery of the mountains and forests, because they lived in harmony with nature. Today, we are at the pinnacle of material civilization, yet creating a dangerous situation where man and nature are at odds with each other. In the end, nature knows us, while we consider ourselves in the civilized world but know only a small part of nature. What we know is limited, the unknown is infinite, the universe is so vast we don’t know it. In fact, we know all the viruses or not. The virus is in the air, in the water, we don’t know. But at some point, it appears to attack we do not know. That is to say, we are still very obscure to nature. But people who have attained meditation and concentration know nature, so they can live in harmony with nature. It can be said that nature feeds humanity and humanity feeds nature. Therefore, where humans live in harmony with nature, the grass and trees are lush because the plants and trees give life to them thanks to humans and vice versa, nature also gives life to humans. Thus, if we destroy nature, we destroy our own life, then we must die by ourselves. Nowadays, people have invented chemical drugs, insecticides against all kinds of things, but if you look closely with your eyes and meditate, you can see that this is dangerous. In fact, the more we resist, the more it surrounds us. Indeed, humans use chemical fertilizers and pesticides to fight nature, but we have been strongly opposed by nature. Because using chemical drugs to get rid of this worm, it gives birth to other stronger and more harmful worms. And chemical fertilizers are sprayed a lot, making the soil barren to grow on trees, or even on trees, it also gives us extremely toxic food that produces many diseases. It is clear that man conquers nature and is harmed by nature against us. Today, we are at the pinnacle of material civilization, yet creating a dangerous situation where man and nature are at odds with each other. In the end, nature knows us, while we consider ourselves in the civilized world but know only a small part of nature. What we know is limited, the unknown is infinite, the universe is so vast we don’t know it. Most Venerable Thich Tri Quang Therefore, all Zen masters in the mountains and forests live in harmony with nature to coexist and live healthy. We make nature live, we live. We make it die, we die but we certainly die first. Buddha and five brothers Kieu Tran Nhu living in Deer Park in harmony with nature made the garden lush, beautiful, and pure, creating a peaceful and liberating living environment that 50 Da Xa youths accepted. From this holy school, he immediately set out to follow the Buddha. Nature and humans interacting and co-existing is the world of the gnostic and understanding of the Way. People who are not enlightened, do not understand, only have ambition, often have a sense of conquest and destruction. But think if anyone can conquer nature for a lifetime. Or that the more people try to indiscriminately exploit natural resources, that is, the more people destroy nature, in the end, people will still be defeated by the disaster of epidemics, earthquakes, tsunamis, hunger and starvation. , war… Returning to the good roots of the five sages, they meditated with concentration and saw the Buddha in their minds, so their minds and the Buddha’s mind were connected. If teachers and students don’t communicate with each other, they will only cause trouble for each other. Indeed, when the Buddha preached the sutras French flower , 5,000 Bhikkhu-stilts high-conceited leave. The Buddha said it was good for them to leave because their minds and Buddha’s minds could not intersect, creating opposites that only hurt each other. The Venerable Don Hau, whom I respect, has a disciple, Mr. Tri Khong, who is very intelligent. The Venerable Master trusted this teacher the most. He went to England to study, got his doctorate back to Vietnam, and did not want to become a monk and return to the world. The Venerable Master was sad because of his expectations and invested in him all, but he did not follow him anymore and left. I think he wants to go the way of liberation, he wants to go the worldly way, these two things are completely different. If your mind is oriented to the secular world, will you be happy if you take the way to liberation? His mind towards liberation but entangled in worldly people is not suffering. This is simply taught by the Buddha that it is good for those people to go. The most important thing is that teachers and students understand each other like the soul of the national master Phu Van and King Tran Thai Tong, who helped the king not only develop the country, but moreover, he also sublimated his wisdom according to the three Buddhist principles. The student understands the teacher and the teacher understands the student, which means understanding in the heart is important. The five brothers Kieu Tran Nhu saw that the Buddha was higher than them, because they had previously practiced together with the Buddha in the ashram of Kamala and Ut Dau Lam Phat. And the Buddha attained meditation before these men, ie their understanding at that time was lower than that of the Buddha and now that the Buddha has become a Buddha, his wisdom is much higher. Therefore, they want to follow the Buddha to learn the results of Buddha’s enlightenment. Enlightenment is the Buddha preaching the Dharma in meditation, that is, the mind preaches the Dharma, conducts the teaching of the Dharma, and does not preach the Dharma in language. The Buddha preached the Law Turning Sutra to the five brothers Kieu Tran Nhu We know that the Buddha has the three turnings of the Dharma wheel: the turning of the body, the turning of the speech, and the turning of the mind. The Buddha’s body turning the wheel of Dharma is that he has enough 3,000 positions and 84,000 sacrifices. The fact that he is perfect is demonstrated by the Noble Eightfold Path, even though he does not say it, it makes people who see it have to be reverent. I have experience when meeting true practitioners, high monks don’t speak, but naturally I respect that they speak to me with their bodies and actions. Therefore, to listen to the Dharma is to listen to the body of the Buddha, learn from the Buddha’s deeds, and follow the Buddha’s conduct. The second is the Buddha’s speech turning the wheel of Dharma, which means that the Buddha speaks simply, he speaks the sutta Turning the wheel of Dharma and then say the Four Noble Truths. There’s that much, if expanded today is the canon Nikaya. All his life Buddha only spoke of the Four Noble Truths, nothing else. It is the Buddha who teaches the Dharma to those who have not yet entered meditation and have not yet entered concentration, the Buddha taught how to let us enter meditation into concentration. But entering meditation and remaining in meditation, Buddha spoke with the mind. Since then, the bodhisattvas, hearing the Buddha’s mind in meditation, have assembled the Mahayana sutras to serve as a solid and indestructible foundation for the development of the three continents of Buddhism.
