Repentance is a critical practice and popularity in Buddhism. Repentance is consistently replayed itself, see short what faults through the fuselage, and Italy, which expresses the heart repentance, prayer and not to those of such misconduct occurs again in the future. Repentance, also is said to "opine that his mistake before the Buddha, Bo-slaps, counsel or with the purpose to be killing sin"². So repent there really are guilty or not? And who is able to "confessions" for themselves? There are many different views on this issue.

If it says "Guilty Gear began like a kind heart/mind actively killing the guilty Heron to die", the offence can eradicate after repentance and mind are pure. But in some texts in the literature of Nikaya, repentance can only mitigate guilt was created, that crimes are not "eradicate" altogether, whether the offender has to repent, not only by repentance, guilty, which in both the practice moved his mind incarnations. This article looks at a few cases mentioned in the Pali organ, which may somewhat and shows several aspects of the issue.

 

 

Sincere repentance-

Where the Bhikkhu-stilts Bhaddāli

The case of the Bhikkhu-stilts Bhaddāli mentioned in the Central, capital Bhaddāli, the texts are placed according to the name of the Bhikkhu-stilts this time. A Sutra narrates the Bhikkhu-Bhaddāli on stilts, feel th y repent and regret, do not make a school about which the Buddha has given constraints. Learn about here is "eat only sat once" (ekasanabhojana), which if eaten will thus "less disease, less brain, lightness, strength and stay." He found errors, failing to learn about this, Bhikkhu-stilts Bhaddāli came to see the Buddha to ask for repentance: "white World Respect, a mistake has taken over me, it's stupid, it's delusion, it's real good. While these Bhikkhu-stilts gender studies Executive That specific regime Religious, I have declared my inability. The White Sun, hope Ton accept for their mistake is a mistake to hedge in the future ".

Germany World Crown after reprimand Bhikkhu-Bhaddāli on stilts because it did not keep gender studies, said, "this Bhaddāli, if he once saw a mistake is a mistake, and as France revealed, we will accept him. Because of that, this Bhaddāli, so is the growth in the precepts of the Holy steps, meaning anyone who, after seeing a mistake is a mistake, as France reveal and hedge in the future "3.

In Bhaddāli we see that, the giant repentance takes place through the following sequential steps: see its faults, repent of them, repent, and prevent faults does error occur again in the future. Here, Bhikkhu-stilts Bhaddāli found themselves at fault for not learning about whole practice was output, then lettered Bhikkhu-other advice on stilts so as ideas about that, my repentance remorse and look to Germany That Religious repentance, the Buddha accepted his repentance and the advice to "hedge in the future".

This version does not show me the repentance can eradicate be offence or not, or in other words is the fault of a person immunity after repentance or not, although texts indicate that, when an offender but his sins Dodge won't listenand, again expressing their dissatisfaction, the anger ... then "OK there's confessions fastly". Did someone mistake, but got errors, not expressing their dissatisfaction or anger towards those who point out his faults, then "make her confessions fastly". However here we can understand, "confessions" in this context does not mean that sin is eradicated, that means to accept the repentance of the mistake, the mistake continued to live in his community, and he committed the error that won't be asked back. But the mistake also would not commit this error any more in the future.

One other important aspect of the "confessions" in a business is to let people mistake the opportunity "to fix" and so people aren't new, the belief that this paragraph is not to kill the count good rest where they can grow. The "confessions" here is expressing the compassion of individuals or communities who commit the opposite error "reveal". Here the Buddha said, "if we are often guilty of this on stilts, a Bhikkhu-little bit of faith, little less compassion of him will go to the kill. So let's not let little faith, a little bit of compassion--the removal ". And he made the comparison that is like a person who just left an eye, the ones of its time protecting the eyes rest there and think not to let the remaining eye was destroyed.

If the eye is left destroyed goes, of course, this person will become a blind, not seeing anything at all. If to these friendly self-catering rest where a mistake kill d., who will become dark, lost faith in being able to return the stick cleaner and can advance in spiritual development roadmap.

The pool of repentance in the Bhaddāliagain to see more one other thing is also very important in taking ink repentance, that the fault of the person in need is just to know, but those are just the fault of others must not mistake it, and they point out faults not because of the dislike, but with compassion wanting to help othersas regards the protection of the eyes of their loved one, not to him becoming blind. With just such a problem, the mistake will have more trust in the receipt of his error, in the belief that getting an error will not cause them to drown-down deeper DermIS which is the opportunity to progress in the way practice.

In Scouts or in social life in General, hardly anyone dared get errors or "free coffee" when faced with them are a assemblies lack compassion and wisdom, would like to know other people's errors to take the MOSS rao and also excuse to harm them. Getting error here does not have to be carried out secretly between person to person, which is spoken among many. However, despite the receipt of errors is performed before many of the faults, it should limit in the range, i.e. within the range of those who listen to the other people getting the error, and within a community in which a mistake so don't violate.

Case Crown faux Pukkusati

Case of the fake Religious Pukkusati was about companies in the investment World to differentiate (Dhātuvibhanga sutta) 4. The false Religion because admired the Buddha and his Dhamma should have abandoned the family, living life at du and French practice Buddha. yet he never once met the Buddha and cannot imagine he is the man. Casually once spend in one night stay stay of Potter's name is Bhaggava, Pukkusati met Buddha, but does not recognize Him should it invoke the Buddha is fake. The Buddha was then preaching to Pukkusati. When finished listening to what is taught, false Religion recognizes that its people no one else but Germany in world Religion, with whom he had "renunciation and y for" and received Masters Degrees. The fake Religious Pukkusati said, because since "delusion and unskilful" he did address The religious affiliation is fake, what he thought was a mistake, and so he did mistake getting Respect coach as a mistake.

Then Buddha said that "... If you see a mistake is a mistake, and as France revealed, while I accept the mistake him for Mr. Because of that, the Bhikkhu-stilts, this is the increase in the precepts of the Holy steps, when one sees the mistake is a mistake, as France revealed, in order to prevent in the future ".

This passage is identical to paragraphs in my Bhaddāli, but that the case of offending other Pukkusati with Bhāddali. While one mistake because can not follow gender studies Increase they accept done, did a mistake just because of inattention don't realize who is its people. In the case of Pukkusati, he committed an error – if to say just because the confusion; and getting an error might see as a "sorry" rather than a "repentance". However, although the level of how faults, recognizing it and repent, are the "increased interest" in life as well as in practice. And also, in this version, Pukkusati violates "mistake" with the Buddha, and the "getting his mistake" can be viewed as having Him skip the confusion.

Case Ajātasattu

Ajātasattu (A snake in the World) is mentioned quite a bit in the Buddhist scriptures. His composition with the Title She Gained Most to make the donation, as well as whether he killed his own father to usurpation has become the classic example of the relation between the greed of power and evil. But the story of King Ajātasattu also reflect another aspect, that the railway Brassica rules the Chief Justice, repentance remorse can make people become more gentle, and the heart repentance remorse will help people more progress in social life as well as in the lead.

The story of Ajātasattu came to the Buddha and express your repentance for killing his father to be mentioned in the Sa-Division results5. However, the main content of this texts is not dedicated to this story; the story of the encounter between the Buddha and Ajātasattu just "pratītyasamutpāda" for a more critical business content, is talking about the "result" of the Group Sa-various subjects. The Ajātasattu repentance is only mentioned at the end of a business. And here we are the King's confessed to having helped this King except destroying his felony record. Or in other words, the repentance of sins by themselves cause has helped King get out your karma.

First of all, as well as in Bhaddāli, the Confessor started from recognizing his error. In the case of King Ajātasattu, he got to see his father killing a felony. When he saw that a felony was caused by the greed of power and ignorance, he wants to confess his sins. And whom he can trust and area repentance is the Buddha. passage presented about getting an error of Ajātasattu as follows: "The White Sun, you have committed a felony. Because of foolish, because of ignorance, because of good, having hurt his father's network, a King chon TAM Chief, to winning the Crown. Coach Ton pick up for my crime is a criminal offence to the stop on the future ".

And when King Ajātasattu repentance receive errors, the Buddha has said the following: "out of sight, the United Kingdom, it is a felony. Because of foolish, because of ignorance, because real friendly, Australian United Kingdom has extra network harm United Kingdom, a King chơn thành District Chief, to winning the Crown. Because the United States does sin have found Out is a crime, confessed to the French Public, We confess to An Emperor. Such is the progress of this Australian, United Kingdom, in the law of the Holy order, who found guilty is guilty, confession is true with the Chief Justice, and prevent in the future ".

As such, the crime is a crime and that progress must not be committed again in the future. But in this passage, the Buddha "guilty" of this King, does not mean that he had been "convicted" for his residence. That here only means that he accepts the repentance of that and getting errors and repentance is so suited to the Chief Justice, and the recipient of such errors will also contribute to reduce offending people's mentality.

In terms of causality, of the crime of not eradicate altogether after repentance and who sow people tangible result, but of course no causation here is presented in the style of: growing melon picking melons, sow rice paddy harvesting; He had killed his father to the throne then he will do the same for him or in this life or in the next life. That cause and effect are described through the, by due for triggers murdering his father, despite his repent, that industry has had a negative effect on the development in the direction of Mr. This is presented through This passage: "the Bhikkhu who isn't King, stilts-repent, the Bhikkhu-stilts, King's mind very remorse. If the King cannot hurt the network's father, a King's primary base, then in this seat, the King was shown to be France label, not the ceiling texture, not defile ".

So, if Ajātasattu not guilty of killing his father, then heard the Buddha preach about the "Sa-Division result" and with the sincere right where the three jewels refuge vows, he has "shown to be France label" criminal, but by killing his father, he did not show it was privileged. However, in Sa-Division results in The A-rank, after Ajātasattu out about, the Buddha told the Bhikkhu-stilts that "King A Copy like this, the sin was being reduced, the unfortunate spat felony. If A Soap That doesn't kill you, the spot was pure eye saw France. But the King A Snake So far have remorse, guilt was being reduced, the unfortunate spat felony "6. So my Sa-Division results in A Field-strength determined that, the King has reduced crime, crime was thanks to repent and three jewels refuge!

Case Angulimāla

Here we add another case to better understand this issue, cases of false Religious Angulimāla, is mentioned in the Angulimāla7, though that this release does not refer directly to the Angulimāla got error with the Buddha as the case above. Previous Angulimāla is a robber notorious murder, are said to be "left his blood hand blood, murder, domestic violence remains, there is no customer from the beings to introspection". But after meeting and renunciation by Buddha, he has practiced the essential professional and certified Dak Holy fruit. But the Prime witness A Holy oil and fruit-la-Han, career employees he created in his life so far has also carved into the fruit. However, the karma that he receives far more light than the human career he has created. This happens because the repentance of his sincerity, as well as thanks to the metabolism, and DAC's Scripture.

This technical texts that, in a real false Religion, qifu gangui went Angulimāla under "first hole, bleeding, custard with hot foreign y broke" because someone accidentally throws the rock, simple to him. And when he came to the Buddha to commemorate events, the Buddha says: "make mosaic ring, she-la-Mon! Make mosaic ring, she-la-Mon! He is reaping the fruits of the current newspaper industry that he subjected the boiling cooking in hell for years, many hundreds of years, many thousands of years ". As such, if not repentance, practiced and shown to result, the false Religion would have fallen into hell in a long period of time, but thanks to repentance and to practice his poor, was converted into a lighter, and he must also pick up the fruit that quote.

But there should also be added that, the major factor that helps to reduce the Angulimāla receives karma is not the "guilty" as the focus, which is mainly thanks to the cultivation of his metabolism. However, recognizing guilt and repentance back is the first step to entering the Church leader.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.22/12/2014.
