Form of address in the temple.

 

 

There are many Buddhist temples perennial; vocative but still not fully understood. Today we will write about this issue explicitly, to show you the wall and try to make merit for further beneficial part in directing his life.

Often in his life who respect or gestures glasses, respected, feared and despised her when someone is acting the opposite. In two words important and contempt also contains the meaning of it then. Ie heavy weight pile up. Contempt means light or separately. And the word proclaimed and coral also tell us imagine that there are people on the bottom and the bottom guys for guys on. Outside of that society, at the temple entrance vocative also relatively more special. We will in turn presented as follows:

A / About-home for the monastic

Home people who had left his family, relatives, into the temple to live a virtuous life. View the list, the status light feathers of stuff. But no means no quibble around. As in the context of law taught that: "No central glass roof is lowered, as Brahmins gather specific issues". That is he who does not know the glass, giving the lower and middle men themselves, just as the Brahmin sitting around talking. So be addressed here is no more caste, which is a hierarchy in everyday life.

a) The elders who direct the young director

Age guidance here is based on the faith in the dignity practice Abbot, the Venerable, Venerable, novice and novice.

The older man was sitting in front and directed to sit on the bottom or call her by name or rank. Sometimes you call a Venerable Master Teacher or the name of the Venerable and he called the Venerable, called the Venerable novice too. Adults age; but younger directors, still have class rank in temples outside secular rather be.

A Venerable talking to people as often or we profess. Many people wonder why there is only one person that called me or see your "we". Because that is the teaching anti-self. In life people are suffering because of the "we" a lot. So proclaimed "we" also means having the self-aligning his autism with the notion kill down Buddhism. Or claiming "we" also means humility. There are many proclaimed Venerable bestowed on the bottom or right of the man, to show her a little respect for others.

b) The director of young adult with the director

Note the sub-novice often profess to be children. The novice when submitted to the Venerable something often or "white me" and "I confess". Venerable also many of the prospectus and the Venerable Master, proclaimed the same. Sometimes many Theravada Buddhists respect the cult of glass; but when they returned to the ancient temple met the Venerable Master of his obligation, in addition to the white teacher, I also have to confess bowed several times like that, to show the threat situation. This shows us that his disciple oil has become a teacher like that no matter what, for me his team is still reverently as ever; not because of the position that we forget the meaning of grace associate director.

There are many new ordained yesterday, days after claiming a hat was his robes is a Bhikkhu levels in men, not much shame ru !! Or switching off switching off continuous high drain conceit prime view on who the bottom with none. So Buddha is often presented is prepared to break the gender prohibition.

B / person ordained to the laity

Known as a male or a close approach of the Buddhist women when it was refuge and the five precepts or Bodhisattva home. When the refuge, a Buddhist teacher with a ordain her. He called Bon Master Teacher. That is his main teacher. In the family, children to parents how; Paths in the door, Buddhists and others also respect his Master Master Bon like that. His master's refuge is like a spirit guide her in that direction door. That is why so between gratitude for the student teacher and student to teacher be assigned as follows:

a) with the professed monastic disciples

Students of here can tell both monastic and lay. Few do I claim to be the Master, Venerable Venerable either, but by the bottom of this because the new has hailed respectfully. If anything goes further in that sentiment, teachers often confess to his disciples as "I" or "me" etc. .. and that teacher called the house lay in the name, the name, Dao Huu or Buddhists etc. .. For example, a teacher wants to call his disciples often say something like this:

"This Happy Heart! Past me through this a little bit."

Or "As Prayer! Teacher because I want to buy this behalf for the teacher a little etc. .. If the disciple's life than their elders, because socially normal way every day should call him, her or Uncle etc.. . to match the vocative of the ceiling. But if called correctly called the Path to Organic, Buddhist or French title is better than both.

b) Lay the vocative home with you-home

In this case, there are many issues to write here. There are many Layman to see a teacher, this teacher may be large or small age, virtuous or normal, or called by "I", "me", "me", etc. .. There are many cases justified by "I" listen and hear funny and felt a little ridiculous.

At professed why Buddhists "I" for a teacher?

- Maybe it's because they do not know the law. Or because they think they are big or the same age as the other monks. But such thinking is wrong. Because of his great age, but age where religion is greater. Young people but their lives were religious before, which means they have cultivated a previous life, and this life they are continuing. And although his older contemporary; but no affinity with the Dharma, who should remain behind. But big but small.

In the Lotus Sutra, has said that: "There is only a person centenarians sure this young man is my father and the other man just centenarians sure this is indeed my son. Elderly father young children". It is significant that presented above.

- Or perhaps Buddhists themselves feel that they have more status, more affluent, more educated, I should confess nothing too unsightly.

Status, wealth and educated the story of the world. And to see people from all fantasy life is impermanent, for they have nothing valuable outside of chon value!

Why Buddhists often proclaimed "son" with a monk?

- It may be a long year who go to the temple and know the law. There are 70 years old; but having a child is white Venerable Master, proclaimed the sweet sauce, sometimes making the new Venerable was also embarrassed. But here are two main benefits:

- First thing - who can claim to get rid of self-love, high drain his conceit.

- The second thing - who was hailed by trying to shame that practice. If you do not take care practitioners, the merits are losing out.

There are also many Buddhist monks bowing again. There have also been raised two issues:

- The first problem - because of the virtue of reverence monks worshiped. When bowing, Buddhist-up is the pride of his conceit.

- The second problem arises: worthy monk had not bowed to her? - Perhaps because the notion that Buddhist monks should deserve his new bow. But worthy or not - part of the bow is more blessed; who are bowed, lost virtue lot; if the monks had faith. If it does not have monks that moral virtue is reduced and sometimes the other is deducted again. Thus the oil in any case, the Lord has blessed the Lord who was being wasted so much merit. So need to practice more diligently. In the law also says that a monk when she met a new Venerable must also respectfully as his guru. Therefore, a lay home to a home person called by "child" is a more correct thing. Con here is the spirit of the monks so.

Why do so many layman I met you, you called by her Sister or brother?

- Because they think I should play me or I of this teacher. Thinking like that is thought under the legal world. Dharma is not as legal world.

If you confess that a male lay on a temporary monks still be heard, although somewhat grating. But if you are a female benefactor that proclaimed "I" with a teacher should watch would be scandalous or external snoops.

There are many women confess to her Master or Master Ba with you - this may be temporary. But if the men do not lay claim to perhaps the brother or uncle Sister by stars? So proclaimed "child" is still better than both.

There are many Buddhist Master Prospectus confess in front of the children; but when that teacher absence is often called Tam Hanh, Hanh Duc etc. .. do it yourself-deception is their right. Presence behind me as well as so called by the Master Teacher. There are many people I respect, little name calling me that or I was abbot of the temple. For example, Germany or Great Master Happy St. Wen etc. .. There are many people still call him Master Mind Spirit, he saw Van Phuoc, etc. .. This is the way of those who do not understand the call direction. If called by "Mr. Teacher", perhaps there should be "Mrs. Teacher" is true. "Mrs. Teacher" in Vietnam do not have, but it has a long Nhut. Buddhists generally invisible Vietnam has assimilated his master without knowing it. Or many times I profess reverence is the sweet white sauce; but when something is so cute knee pants standing in front of the temple very insulted "the boy's father, Mr. Temple that are something" or "anything such as Su Su cobra" or "mad International Master" etc. .. It is evident proved to be able to understand their religion pretty much it. Writing to this story remembered the old days when Buddha was alive as follows:

" There is a Brahmin so jealous of the Buddha, so every day I arrive to the Buddha at his swearing very badly, very tired when power consumption Buddha did not have an attitude at all. Persons Ms. La Mon other Buddha asked that:

- The wood he is cursing his rock star I got no shame?

- The Buddha asked, "If you have a bunch of hours, do lots of deck, finished after death anniversary, she brings gifts to neighbors. Neighbor if he refused.'s So feast on someone?

- The other Brahmin replied: "So instead of people to feast on one another".

- New Buddha taught: "Here too it. Coming here a long time, you insult me, but do not realize. Therefore please return it to you."

The Brahmin was out of shame . "

Directed learning and practicing Buddhism that. Let's go insult or belittle the person, the human mind and dirty mouth before us; while others are still clean. So much attention instead!

There is a Japanese Zen master 13th century have taught his disciples, saying, "You learn to be cautious guidance, his attitude at the reception how when in his own defense and that he ". The words simple but seems to know what meaning we should see it over. So therefore I have time and when there is no teacher, always look the same, should not bias the main damage bless themselves.

c) The lay Buddhists status for the laypeople

In life often referred Specifically, grandfather, grandmother, uncle, Uncle, Aunt, Brother, Sister, etc. .. but when I'm in the temple should be known by the name together is probably more easy listening. Can also call each other brother, with her - but he Giac Nguyen, Ms. Dieu America etc. .. it sounds biased than his other grandmother.

There are many temples also heard Colonel grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ambassador, Mr. Engineer etc. .. but brag like to do. It is nothing less than consistent brand of ceiling, where there is nothing in the door needed guidance. So what is the story of the world's suffering unclean. Meditation is the subject matter of the story of the miraculous rescue. Upon entering the temple we should remove the label and should he go to the temple porch for quiet meditation subjects.

In the temple two nouns often called the Organic Act or Buddhists. Dao Huu be friends with each other in the same Act. Buddhists are the sons of the Buddha. Use proper noun always both. But common noun Dao Huu seem "old" and "had the appearance of" more so for those who are old. List of young Buddhists seem to call each other up with these young people.

Above is a list of common words in the form of address in the temple. We write up is only intended to build direct, not mean to criticize anyone, or anything advice. If you lay Buddhists necessary, should accept. If you see inappropriate time, not the body nor stars. So is the teaching of self-discipline. What no power to force others to go with him. If anything, in the spirit of self and of others only.

We believe that: "The truth is always the truth"; should not be afraid to write down these lines to build a few cons if, and will be available in stores or meditation. There will also be many against us. So we wrote the truth. But this article is not choice but to accept the fact. Despite the fact that there are dreadful bitterness. Knowing that does not say there is not a center, but said that because others do not know is the results that could not swim himself to rescue people. So, if all this comes to eye readers, nor Buddhists Buddhists; Buddhism as well as the other guys see this Act as a small contribution to the overall mission of evangelization and apologetics as well as custom Increase in life in exile abroad today.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGHTFOLD PATH.NAM MO SAKYA MUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.10/10/2014.
