Tet’s Mindset

Tet is only something

That is caảed for Body, Speech, Mind, and Right Thought

The mind is like to be worldly

The idea often reigns gossips of right and wrong

Therefore, we should diligently recite the Buddha's name

Due to causes and conditions, love things and arise compassion 

Love of life encapsulates in breath

Think that cultivation is necessary!

Explanation:

Body, Speech, and Mind are the three karmas of a sentient being. In other words, cultivation is controlling and observing these three karmas diligently, not to create unwholesome karma.

Right Thought includes three types of thought including: Leaving from desire, Non-Aversion, and Harmless. It means that we should not think about contaminating the influence of desire, without thinking about anger but having a mind away from anger; without thinking about the mind that harms people or things, but must have a mind away from harming people or things.

- Reciting the Buddha's name is remembering or thinking, and attentively observing the merits of the Buddha's name and the Buddha's grace. Therefore, we should recite the Buddha's name to imitate the Buddha's example.

- Compassion is a category of love to share, help and save suffering in the face of worldly misfortunes.

- Breathing is a natural response of the body, so few people care. But most of the time we do not breathe properly. Contemplation of the breath is also a practice that the Buddha taught at the beginning of time. The Buddha himself attained meditation through contemplation of the breath.)

 * We sympathize with the above poem after reading the poem "The Ancient Tet of the Pagoda" by the third Dharma Lord - Most Venerable Thich Pho Tue. The following is the poem " The Ancient Tet of the Pagoda":

It is really fun about the pagoda’s Tet

Buddha’s gifts have all kinds of scents

Lang Nghiem sausages, Vien Giac cakes

Paramita sweet soup, Dharma Flower Sticky Rice

Behold the tray of Bao Tich with hundreds of flavors

There are four pairs  of Diamond chopsticks 

Interpretation of the Law on Truong That House's Rituals

High Sangha friend asked to sit up.
