Cause Suffering:

Ignorance and Industry

May the second of the Four Bodhisattva Vows luteum is:

Afflictions are inexhaustible vows paragraph

Beings sunk in defilement tank
prespecified stupid scary
Tathagata pity that escapism
Permanent away all sorrows. (Cart 1: The Chairman Noble Sutra, Flower Adornment Sutra).

Monday May the God corresponds to the second of the Four Noble Truths: The Noble Cause of Suffering.

This Monks! What is The Truth?

That's what led to the current aspirations, together with the craving and desire to seek satisfaction everywhere. The name of it is the desire for material pleasures, the desire for existence, and the desire not exist. (The desire implies infinity Minh- ignorance about the First Noble Truth, the First Noble Truth . ignorance and desire is the fundamental negativity). The cause of suffering is to segment. (Business Zhuan Falun).

Want to stop suffering, we have to identify its cause. Buddha attained enlightenment is the fundamental cause of suffering is ignorance. Because of ignorance that is the desire of his desire arises. Ignorance and desire textures together makes blind and prevent the existing empirical nature. Being upset and delusion, see "fish eye beads European thought," confuse things change very often, but for it's true nature.

He had lost the treasure of his basic: it's circular light heart, his wonderful (the intelligent). Although located throughout awakened awareness (the intelligent) his ignorance and defilements, he mistakenly assumed to be the true one (Doing The Mausoleum).

The minister made ​​false ceiling amount delusion of his leg, and so, from beginningless time until now, he was recognized as the thief, leaving permanent loss of the future should be spinning on the wheel of birth and death (Kinh Thu Lang Nghiem).

Out of ignorance, being created now. The word "professional" means "action." To be more precise, now is the action that we keep repeating forever, the action that is the source of desire, is governed by the law of cause and effect. This law simply means that whatever good or evil actions of body, speech and mind, have incurred a good or bad result corresponds. They reap you sow, that retribution is severe and rapidly slowing slightly depending on each case.

For example, there are people berating us and we yelled back. The other person is berating the results of this past are now flowering. When we yelled pay, we have created a new industry, leading to bad results in the future. All these things we do from our mind, is the generation of people. And all this happened to us is effective. So now both a result of both the past of the future. What we present is the result of what we have done in the past, and what we are doing now that's what we will be in the future.

But not now means "fate" or "destiny." Not fixed, but now is not immutable. Only a "reasonable," or the "law" of karma is immutable: sow so shall you reap . Every action by the will and choice of the people who made ​​it. The freedom of choice, but not free to escape the consequences of their choices. When intentional acts, the inevitable result is impossible to stop. Man can not escape this immutable law, but people can understand it, to master the operation of it, so therefore escape the endless cycle of birth and death.

Therefore, one of the goals of spiritual practice in Buddhism is to achieve purity of mind and purity, help them to have a wise choice, to avoid confusion of cause and effect. Even the Saints, including Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, nor outside the law of cause and effect; He never made the mistake of cause and effect. By the law of retribution should the emphasis on preserving the Buddhist precepts is understandable. About law and mindfulness helps us always mindful of every action, especially the work of these actions. The behavior that is motivated selfish desires and ignorance leads to bad karma surely, can not be avoided. In contrast, the behavior is not caused by gonorrhea or lust and always brought good results and karma is real freedom. Distinguish between good and evil, good and evil, freedom and constraint, is a sign of wisdom, one of the greatest virtues of Buddhism.

Compassion is a virtue second, another focus of Buddhist practice, also comes from a clear understanding of karma. The doctrine of karma confirm the deep relationship between all beings and things. The correlation between the mean things what "touch" to one, ie "touch" to all. This is a truth that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are enlightened. The divide between us and the people, between body and mind, between humans and landscape are fabricated and frivolous claims. So the teachings of the ancients, 'century sterility basis, then u's character' (what we do not want, do not do to others) actually have a deeper meaning can be used as a recast.

However, the virtue of compassion transcends the ordinary goodness. Kindness is often the only kindness for others to expect them to treat her with kindness, and compassion are virtues see 'yourself to everyone as a'. It is a lifestyle perspective and put yourself one with all beings, not just an attitude or a way of thinking. Everything is everything really so and so, all one can contract. With her ​​look and lifestyle, all the conflict and confusion of humanity will be solved.

So understanding of karma is key to penetrating the Dharma, the teachings of wisdom and compassion. Bad karma brings us constant in illusory circle of samsara. But when understood and mastered, we can create good karma leads us from this unfortunate ring, and developing compassion and wisdom to truly benefit humanity. The Buddha compares the remaining trapped within retribution as follows:

Create karma of milk in the bottle: it's not even winter; but it fermented and follow fools like hot fire beneath the ashes buried. (Dhammapada, verse 71)

Family, social circumstances and even our bodies are the effects of the past now. All the things in this world, too, is a manifestation of karma.

Beings difference now
many countless world
in which births before
Tho suffering at such fun. (Flower Adornment Sutra, 5th Cart: Flower Store World)

We encounter things seem unfair, but in fact what we receive are the result of "seeds" were sown in the past. We ourselves are responsible for everything that happens as a career fair, unbiased and never wrong.

Everything these people cause to others will come back to the people receive.

If the people want to know who has sown in past lives,

Take a look at the report to which the people are reaping today.

If these people want to clarify future lives

Just look at what people are doing today.

All over the world men and women, rich or poor despicable means to gentlemen, are subject to immeasurable suffering or enjoying endless optimism, are all results of the past harvest.

Many are full of wealth

Indeed fair reasons:

In the past, the ones that

Forums generous alms food to the poor.

The parents who have longevity

Long life, happiness, comfort

Anyone know why?

That's because in the past,

They have raised an orphan,

And primary care for the elderly as their parents.

(Three World Economic Causation)

Earth Treasure Bodhisattva, if the student meets the murderer, they teach that, because the subject reported he shoots and premature death.

If that thief, it teaches that, so being poor and miserable retribution.

If you are having import wicked, they teach that, so retribution bickering relatives.

If you see dem guys or blame, it taught that, so retribution lack of tongue and mouth sores.

(Earth Treasure Sutra Bodhisattva Vow Duty)

Set to indicate the cause of suffering is ignorance. Out of ignorance, misunderstanding that our "self" is our kill something. Ignorance about the basics, we will take its life, and thus creating countless evil deeds. Indeed, the true nature of our birth and had never never kill. The "we" being defeated is only an illusion, a district of mental images created by ignorance.

Then the Blessed One does not explain the reality of the self.

'No matter what is born will wreak havoc. All these concerns about what we are useless; self as an illusion, those afflicted with it will be the last to go. They disappear like a dream when guys dream awake. The awakening escape from fear; he has become a Buddha and he said that all the concerns, aspirations, and suffering are frivolous. The other down in a bathing waters, stepping on a rope and thought that it was a snake. He's terrified, trembling with fear, and his heart is associated with the extreme pain caused by snake venom causes. When he saw that it was only a rope, he breathed a sigh a relief to know about it! '

"The cause of his consternation is confusion, ignorance, and his illusions. Upon seeing the snake is only imaginary rope, then he calmly center back, he feels relieved, excited and happy. Such is the mood of the show that no one was really, that the cause of all the trouble, anxiety, and frivolity is only an illusion, a shadow , a dream. "

(Tibetan Pali)

Buddha used a simile to describe the other, there is no human ignorance. It is the Forum to talk about housing in Shurangama. One day Forum housing look in the mirror and like the face in the mirror. Unprovoked think no head, and the head in the mirror is someone else. Suddenly he became crazy, running and dollars, "Where's my head! Where's my head!"

The Buddha said: "There are reasons that Facebook lost housing beginning to fear that madness? If suddenly the madness ended, it is not because he regained head somewhere outside . therefore before the end of his madness, how his head is lost? ... " (Kinh Thu Lang Nghiem).

"When the madness Forum style housing in the center of the termination, then the termination was enlightened. Clear mind, a pure hybrid peak osmotic all material reality. Did not mind else for her to do. " (Doing The Mausoleum).

Self cling center became self-interest,
not of the legal illusory illusory.
No attachments, no non-illusory what
