The truth of the universe is silence 🔕. Silence is the truth, it is mysterious, it is undisturbed (not agitated), so it is also called True Suchness or discreetness. The concentration of meditation is the secret, and the secret of meditation contains: spirituality, awareness, and spirit. Therefore, when called concentration, it can give birth to true wisdom and precepts. Concentration is right, confusion is wrong, that's why it's called right concentration. And also because there is righteousness, there is Zen and Samadhi. Right Concentration is Nirvana, a person's mind returns to right concentration, with True Suchness, after full enlightenment, he is called Tathagata or Buddha. Therefore, Right Concentration is the place where all sentient beings, all things, and dharmas were born, and is also the place to return. Or the destination, rest, and retirement of living beings, all things, and dharmas, that's it!
- The body of meditation is the vast universe, infinite, empty, quiet and dark.; Thể của thiền định là vũ trụ bao la, vô cực, không không, vắng lặng và tối đen.
- The form of concentration is True Suchness, unmoving, standing still, dead and still, inert.; Tướng của định là Chân Như, không vọng động, đứng ngừng, chết nghỉ, trơ trơ.
- The uses of concentration are change, evolution, happiness and enlightenment, spiritual fruition, and supernatural powers.; Dụng của định là thay đổi, tiến hóa, an vui và giác ngộ, quả linh và thần thông.
- The principle of concentration is natural and true.; Lý của định là tự nhiên, chơn thật. ✒✔✖✅
___ The body of concentration is the precepts, the reason of concentration is wisdom, and the nature of concentration is truth. And also concentration is the active mind of all living beings; or also life, power and all-inclusive, etc.
Meditating and entering concentration are peaceful and joyful results, but the path to concentration is called the Way, and attaining right concentration: called attainment. Concentration is the destination, the result, and the purpose of the paths. Concentration is the most powerful ability! Concentration is the life of our body and mind.Right concentration is the ego! (In the root of the Sino-Vietnamese word it is called: ego-self.; Trong gốc của từ Hán-Việt gọi là: bổn-ngã.) Before the globe is concentration after the globe is concentration. Before the body is born there is concentration, after birth the body is concentration.

NAMO Buddha!!!... Concentration is constant everywhere, at all times: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind must always be concentrated. The teacher, without intention, is dead; the student, without intention, is crazy. Anyone who doesn't make a decision will suffer!?!...O

Only with the right way can there be concentration, and the right path is the ability to give birth to the results of entering concentration. The Right Path is: good, good is not evil, evil is covering the original mind, covering the original mind is forgetting: concentration! Therefore, people without concentration are evil, confused, miserable, and have no way to go. So if you want to have concentration, you must prevent evil! And stay away from noisy places, that is, keep the precepts, create the precepts for yourself, to preserve concentration, have concentration! With concentration, there will be no afflictions, futility, or harm.
Therefore, our life must be disciplined; a lot of precepts mean a lot of concentration, a few precepts mean little concentration, and no precepts mean no concentration. An unconcentrated mind is thinking and contemplation, not clear, and is unable to get rid of bad things. Without concentration, without supernatural powers, or spiritual fruit, people must fall into false material things, cling to evil and delusion, bury, lock up, and kill their minds. Therefore, if the mind is concentrated, then our mind will have wisdom, and how much or how little wisdom depends on concentration. A lot of concentration is a lot of wisdom, a little concentration is a little wisdom, and no concentration is no wisdom. Only wisdom that is learned and enlightened can end confusion. Not being deluded means not being swayed by dreams and illusions of the first low level; only then can a person retire. They returned to the Dharma Realm of True-Suchness, rested, became old men, and became noble people. They no longer talk nonsense, do evil, waste their efforts, and waste their efforts.
Thanks to the concentration of the mind, one can remember to hold far and wide. Thanks to remembering and storing up many things of the past and present, we can clearly see the dharmas of the future. Being able to examine life's affairs, see far into the psychology, and hear clearly the level...can eliminate afflictions and attain peace.

Only with concentration can we dare to believe that we are perfect, not astray, confused, or evil. Concentrating in the right and good place will result in peace, rest, and great concentration. By being determined in evil, one will certainly encounter suffering, turmoil, and great chaos. So call it a decision, or oneness: it is the concentration of silence. There is only the unchangeable seal that is certain and trustworthy as the destiny of sentient beings; that seal is silence! That silence is due to righteousness and goodness. Even though it's not like entering great concentration for a long time, not that momentary concentration. It also gives us a lot of health and rest, and makes us alert and wise. So we should remember that a person without intention is crazy, and a crazy person has no life or knowledge: what is it, where is it? Just as turbulent water is muddy water, if it is dirty water, then it is land: but where is there water? If the water is still, there will be bright glasses that can see all shapes clearly. Just like when the mind is concentrated, one can clearly see that there is a mind, and the mind will be enlightened: it will shine everywhere. This means that without concentration, there is no mind, without mind, there is no self, and then there is no life.
All living beings are without concentration, more or less, or in peaceful sleep. But because we were born from small to large, in matter, in food, clothing, shelter, and disease, the four elements are impermanent and changeable. We go round and round and turn upside down every day, there is no free time to review; consider the living, the known, the self, whether it is still or not: life or death, big or small: how? Do we need to know whether it is intended or not? Many people forget, do not know what the intention is! What's the benefit? So that when it's time to be sick, to be old and weak, or to feel like you're about to die, or be defeated, or have to be tired, miserable, in pain, sad and afraid, and don't know why? Why? Where is the reason? Why? Well, we risk closing our eyes, putting our feet up, and opening our mouths; or blame the karma of bad luck, pray for luck, and leave it to fate. Alas! Life is long and closes our eyes and forgets ourselves like that, then we ask if anyone can have lasting peace? Not only in humans, but all living beings, born from the four great hells, are born from evil. From the darkness, from the inversion of the earth, from grass, trees, animals, and people. From the bottom to the top, until walking, running, talking, and doing, at first, in the chaos, and if you don't stand in the chaos, you know where to stand.
But if we are lucky enough to survive today and reach the human level, thanks to speaking and doing, we will be born with a clear understanding. So why not know the difference between white and black, to preserve life, so that when the body dies, the mind still exists? Than earth, water, fire, and wind are senseless! Born to transform and roll forever are earth, water, fire, and wind without beginning or end, without a true and certain self. Just like the four elements: giving birth to grass, trees, animals, then grass, trees, animals: death becomes the four elements. If this continues forever, there will be no such thing as a seed that can stand for long. Therefore, sentient beings are just servants of suffering and nothingness! So we must concentrate, to hold the self, to stand in a supreme and good position. But don't bother to close your eyes and embrace the cunning wheel of impermanence, so as not to fade away; but after the body disintegrates, the master of the soul remains.
So we should remember that those who do not have any decision, too disordered cerebral suffering according to the material of the four elements: soil, water, fire, wind, rolling. After death, the body returns to the four elements, and the soul will also disintegrate, disorders in the material no longer the silhouette. There is no longer anything to bring the fetus back to life. In that way, it was only earth, water, fire, and wind for a long time to produce grass, trees, animals, and others. The death of life is just like grass, trees, animals, without having our own autonomy, what we are: Seeds like life? [216]
There is meditation, new: happy and living. Fun means living, living means happiness, and suffering is death, dying is suffering. If we live in life so that we have to ignore and suffer, then live: to do it? And whether we can live? Ignorance is miserable to live with, or ignorance to be miserable; disorder means death. The one who died and was in ignorance means hell, what is it: What fun?
So, like the dead and happy, or happy to die, isn't it more precious? But it is fun that we are living, living is happy: I am! If you want to be happy to live: If you have, you must be determined. If you want to have concentration and know it, you must search and reflect: to see clearly that the truth is the right view. Having the Right View: seeing the main truth, new things arise to think about the righteous; Truth-Like, but understand the principles of the law!; Only by understanding the principles of Right Thought can you speak righteously! From the place of Right Speech is the practice of Right Action, which is the right work in accordance with morality! If you do the right thing, you will be able to feed your life by being pure and good, enjoying the peace of mind! Only having Right Livelihood can we rejoice and be diligent in keeping the way forward! Thanks to Right Effort, there is no time to be distracted from evil thoughts, and then the mind will be pure. Mind immediately looking at a place, True-Like does not move, thoughts do not leave the right place!
Through Right Mindfulness, keeping the mind on one good thing, in one place, will help the mind be concentrated. The intention is body and speech: must be determined. Body, speech, and ideas are all called mind-concentration. The intention is the body; the mouth must be determined. Body, speech, and mind are all intended to be called concentration. Concentration in the right place, where the good and wise call for Right Concentration, which is silence, to hold back from retirement, Nirvana is the final place to decide, the definite realm.
The mind that has been determined will no longer change, or the mind that has been in the True Nature will no longer be agitated, sleeping, happy, living forever.
From right view to right concentration is called the Way; to right concentration is called the result. That fruit is the fruit of peace and joy that lives forever, due to enlightenment, sweeping away the mundane roots, the four great ignorances, so it is called Buddhahood, true enlightenment. Enlightenment comes with Truthfulness-Likeness, with True-Likeness comes enlightenment, just as with Right View, there is Right Concentration, with Right Concentration is Right View.
Having the right view leads to enlightenment; with right concentration, there is true likeness, or that is, enlightenment gives birth to right view. True-Like birth right concentration, is the body to depend on one another, not separate.

- Just like having Investigation [尋察] is my search, contemplating, seeing the truth clearly, there is joy!; Cũng như có Tầm sát [尋察] là tầm tõi, quán xét, thấy rõ lẽ thật, mới có sự mừng!;
- There is Joy [喜] (joy), because having found the way, there is joy.; Có Hỷ [喜] (mừng), vì lẽ đã gặp được đường đi, mới có sự vui.;
- Having happiness [樂] (peaceful) when you have reached the right path, no longer suffering, the body and mind will be pure.; Có Lạc [樂] (an vui) khi đã đi tới trúng đường, không còn khổ não, thì thân tâm trí mới trong sạch.
- Only when there is Pure [淨] (clean) will the mind stand still, no longer be attracted to attraction, so the new Dhyana [定]: enter meditation.; Có Tịnh [淨] (sạch) ý mới yên lặng đứng ngừng, không còn bị sự lôi cuốn hấp dẫn nên mới Định [定]: nhập thiền định.
____ From investigation to concentration, it is called the Way, and when attaining concentration, there are enough spiritual and moral results. That is, wisdom and supernatural powers are called results, which are investigation and concentration.
II.___ Thus, if you want to concentrate, you must have mindfulness; by thinking, remembering a sentence, a thing, a word, something, is determined.
VOCA.: => mindfulness /ˈmaɪndflnəs/n.;
Just like the water contained in the bowl of the cup will be quiet, the idea, thanks to being tied up in one place, must stand stop until long after acquaintance, no longer chaotic. This is an intention, as well as the nib in the fruit, being said (like rice), not doing (like covers), capturing, not allowing it to launch the intention to grow from reincarnation: birth, death. Do not grow a tree that takes root in the earthly world. Thanks to that, the new mind seed is stored for eternity, and the dream mind is deep in the middle of the seed. This mind is the seed, consisting of three parts: the sheath is the body of action, the flesh is the speech and speech, and the thoughts are the inner dream. The mind is there by body and speech, action and speech give rise to ideas. Because in speaking and doing, there are two relative reasons: love, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, then angry, loving to hate, liking to boring, thus giving rise to lust.
Sexual intentions arise in the tree, the grass first. When it comes to animals, it is very evil. Being a human is a bit better. But the mind is agitated: non-stop, so anyone who takes the mind to make us is miserable and crazy. So we have to lock it up and change it to a mind that is white knowledge, discriminative, and educated, so that we won't make mistakes as ignorant as we want, but avoid suffering and accidents.
People who live with a bright and skillful mind are called Gods.But that wise mind is not the end of suffering and failure; one must change the mind to become enlightened. Enlightenment is a clear knowing that is certainly true and not misleading. It is the person who lives honestly because of the place where he knows the light that is stable and happy; the result is more than the ingenuity and intrigue of the mind. Besides, there are two wisdom: Drunk wisdom and wisdom! Drunk wisdom is distinguishing between white and black, but has not yet woken up to give up false falsehoods. Wisdom is the white understanding with the real practice, which can get rid of the sin of lies, keep the truth like silence, purity, and concentration, ... for sure! So, also called wisdom as true wisdom, true wisdom is also called enlightenment or nature.
So it is all known, depending on each place to name. The one who knows how to fall according to life-love is two relative reasons called the mind. The knowing, seeing white distinguishes is wisdom ([知白]; Tri Bach). The clear, true, natural knowing is called enlightenment. All is the knowing of the mind, where the original reason is: Mind, temporary fake, to the next enlightenment is the mind, surely and permanent. The mind is really the mind of the Buddhas, all of each other: like one, bright and perfect. Not like the immature mind of sentient beings, the other one, false, damaged, evil, sometimes destroyed, no longer has.
Mind becomes human, wisdom becomes God, enlightenment becomes Buddha. So we need to be pure, determined: To put on the sign of losing the idea of mankind to expect to be Buddha.
The mind is like an unbridled horse running along the road; we have to use mindfulness as the reins to restrain and bind it. Give straight to the right path, until you are familiar with it, let go of the reins: give up mindfulness! But ideas, horses, not running nonsense, so that we dare to call our intentions, we have to be good and good, we dare to use it to use it. And our life is the owner to sit on to ensure a stable and happy life. That means we practice fixing the movement, evil, and deceitfulness, so the idea is really true, righteous, and good. To become a good, precious, sublime human being, beneficial for sentient beings to enjoy and dare to use. Thanks to mindfulness, one can attain right concentration with mindfulness in one place, just as standing water is pure and clean. Therefore, it is also called having purity to have concentration. In order to have mindfulness, one must rely on right effort. In order to have the right effort, one must rely on the right livelihood. If you want to have the right life, you have to rely on the right karma. If you want to have the right action, you must rely on the right speech. If you want to have the right speech, you must rely on the right thinking. If you want to have the right thinking, you have to rely on the right view. Right view leads to right concentration, wrong view leads to wrong concentration.; Right concentration is a peaceful life, wrong concentration is a miserable death. Then the starting point of view is seeing that, when it is wrong, it is always wrong, and when it is right, it is always right. All right is good, all evil is bad. Thus, the view is the seeing, the eyes that must first be made clear, carefully examined, and then immediately focused on the goal. Do not live thousands of happy and miserable lives, live and die, it's not luck or bad luck, but we are neglected and indifferent!
