(Audio-video correction subtitle version) Sermon video provided by: Bonjeong Kim Yeong-dong, Sermon recording by: Mandeokhwa Lee Ju-mi Teachings of Master Dosin and Master Hye-neng, Daily Sangmae, Ilhaeng Samadhi (Dongsan Banyahoe Six Paramitas Great Dharma Assembly Ordination Ceremony) The sermon that Master Dosin gave at the time contained the contents of world-class pure meditation, pure Seon. However, the most important core content of that sermon is daily samadhi, one-action samadhi. Daily samadhi, one-action samadhi. Therefore, if you know the content of the daily samadhi and one-act samadhi, it is not only the important core of Dharma Zen, but also the core of all Zen meditation passed down from the time of the Buddha. However, the content of the daily samadhi and one-act samadhi is precisely the chanting of the Buddha’s recitation of the Buddha’s name. What is the dharma talk that the Sixth Patriarch emphasized? It is this: Following the words of this Huineng, isn’t the Dharma name of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng? Following the words of the Sixth Patriarch, I, Huineng, you should follow me and repeat three times. After doing this, I take refuge in the Pure Dharma Body of Vairochana Buddha. I also take refuge in the Perfect Reward Body of Roshna Buddha. I also take refuge in the One Hundred Billion Incarnation Bodhisattvas. In this way, we take refuge in the Dharmakaya, the Reward Body, and the Incarnation Body. The Dharmakaya, Reward Body, and Incarnation Body, these are the three bodies and one Buddha. Originally, the Buddha does not exist separately, but the life of the universe itself is the Buddha. The original aspect of my life and the original aspect of the universe are none other than the Buddha. Therefore, if we make it concrete, it is the Dharmakaya, Reward Body, and Incarnation Body. However, since the Three Bodies are only one Buddha, when we talk about one Buddha comprehensively, it is none other than Amitabha Buddha. The precepts are not the restraints that bind us like this. In fact, they are the important foundation that liberates us. The reason is that keeping the precepts lightens both our body and mind, and at the same time, all the Dharma-protecting good gods protect us and the Buddha protects us in his thoughts. The first is not to kill. The second is not to steal. Do not take what is not your legitimate income. The third is not to commit adultery. The fourth is not to lie. Do not tell lies, speak ill of others, or make up stories. The fifth is not to drink alcohol, smoke, or use drugs. These five precepts. These are the laws of the universe that we human beings must keep while living in the universe. The last sermon that the Buddha gave was called “Precepts as Teachers,” meaning to take the precepts as your teacher. The Buddha's 84,000 teachings, the system is so complete with the Gogujeongnyeong, but he does not repeat such words and says that we must follow the precepts and make a teacher. This is the last teaching. If our actions are not righteous, true wisdom cannot stand. ▶ Smartphone app The Buddha's words of teachings and Namu Amitabha chanting by the great monk Cheonghwa https://play.google.com/store/apps/de... ▶ Muju Seonwon, the home of the mind with Amitabha https://cafe.daum.net/mujuseonwon
