Don’t beg or bow to anyone on this earth because earth is the home of 5 living beings
Student asked 1/4:
Uncle! Is there any way to help people practice Zen Buddhism consistently, and never fall back?
Teacher replied:
To practice Zen Buddhism consistently, without retreating, you must practice as follows:
If you are studying, you keep studying. When growing up and having a family, you take care of your family. As a citizen, you take care of your country. Don’t beg or bow to anyone on this earth because earth is the home of 5 living beings. On this earth, if you practice right, you will enjoy blessings; if you practice wrong, you will either be reincarnated into a plant or go to Hell.
Especially, you should fully understand 3 parts:
1. What is the organization of the earth?
2. What is the organization of the invisible realm?
3. What is the purpose of religions?
Only then will you be able to follow this Zen Buddhism persistently.
Student asked 2/4:
Uncle, those who practice Zen Buddhism correctly must base on the Physical Science Teaching books or the answers on Thientong.com website. Moreover, we must listen to the words that you have never said before on Thientong.com. To sum up my understanding:
1. You have never said a single word which is wrong.
2. Ask you if we have any doubts from today onwards.
Is my understanding correct? If not, could you please clarify for us?
Teacher replied:
Let me tell you, I based on the Science Teachings of the Buddha to answer your questions. You have to use scientific understanding to understand. Don't just believe it immediately. If it is reasonable, you accept the answers but try to confirm it later by yourselves. If it's not reasonable, just listen and keep it in your mind, one day you will check it. If you just believe in me, you are a person without wisdom.
From today, I will answer Zen Buddhist Dharma’s insights. If you have any questions, just ask. If the answers are proved by current science, you believe it temporarily. Never believe in anything right away. If you don’t think and check by yourselves, you are not a wise person.
Student asked 3/4:
There is a person who follows Zen Buddhism and is recognized to know the way to the Buddha world. When someone asks him about Zen Buddhism, he often tells the past, what he has achieved or experienced by following other methods. He often writes poems, and comments on other people’s poetry. But when asked to analyze other’s poetry in detail, he could not say it clearly. Please help me answer the following questions:
1. Is the person doing this correctly following Zen Buddhism?
2. How does a person following Zen Buddhism self-assess whether he is practicing correctly or incorrectly?
Teacher replied:
Such practices of that person are not correct in terms of Zen Buddhism.
How can we self-assess if our practice is right or wrong? The criteria are as follows:
1. We should only care about doing our jobs.
2. If we hear someone talking about Zen Buddhism, we also listen.
3. If we hear someone talking about superstitions, give them the book "Tran Nhan Tong teaches his children", but don't make any comments. When they understand, that's it. We have merit.
Student asked 4/4:
In a group of people, only I am practicing this Zen Buddhism. Although no one knows that I follow this Dharma, when I approach them, they avoid me. They seem to be afraid of me but actually they hate me. So, when interacting with others, what should I do?
Teacher replied:
In a group of people, only you are practicing this Zen Buddhism. Although no one knows that you follow this Dharma, when you approach them, they avoid you. They seem to be afraid of you but actually they hate you. So, when interacting with others, you should apply the following: You should never talk about any religions. If anyone talks about dharma, you show that you don't care. If they talk about epiphany, you show that you can join them too. Normally, people don't hate you.
