Methods of Teaching of the Buddha
Buddha everyone has to live by his example, just by his only teacher. About the only teacher, he applied two methods, depending on the time he was preaching to a group or an individual. Before the audience group, Buddha expounded in the form of lectures, often repeating each point with different words, so the audience could remember more. However, when the ban is only for individual teachers, usually after the meal, but a family that had invited him and his monks, the Buddha will use a different approach. He never oppose or challenge the listener's point of view, that will accept their stance and raised questions to help the listener clarify their thoughts. In this way, Buddha led the audience to improve their position and gradually gain a deeper understanding of reality. One example is the Buddha leading a proud caste Brahmin priests understand that excellence is not derived from the Vietnam-class person is born, but from the development of their good qualities .
Another example is that of the Buddha's instructions for a desperate mother who brings her child determined to see the Buddha and his van to help revive the baby. Buddha told her mother to bring him a mustard seed from a house where death never happened, and he will see what can be done to help her son. That woman went out from door-to-door, but every family has deceased. Gradually, she realized that everyone must die and so she was able to calm your mind to bring her child cremated.
The teaching of the Buddha shows us that while helping others solve personal problems, it is best not to confront them. The most effective way is to help them to think for themselves. However, for those groups who want to learn about the teachings, we need to explain frankly and clearly.

Against intrigue Buddha and Ly Offline

Seven years before Buddha's nirvana, cousin of His jealousy is Devadatta (Devadatta, Lhas-byin ) has won the leadership machinations of his sangha. Similarly, Prince Asajatu (Ajatashatru, Ma-skyes dgra ) also plotted usurpation of his father, King Bimbisara, the ruler of Magadha. So should the two plotted together planning. Prince Asajatu sought to assassinate King Bimbisara, and finally the king to abandon the throne, the throne for his son. Seeing the success of Prince Asajatu, Devadatta was assassinated by Prince Buddha, but every stratagem failed to kill him.
Then Devadatta tried to entice increasing interest we leave Buddha far by claiming that their "holy" than his cousin, and therefore, has proposed a system of stricter discipline. According to the book "Purity" ( The Path of Purification, Pali: Magga ) University of enunciation (Buddhaghosa), a teacher of Theravada Buddhism in fourth century BC, the proposals Devadatta Reach Multi give monks, including the right:

  • wear a patch from rags,
  • only three robes worn alone,
  • begging for food and never received an invitation to go for a meal,
  • do not miss home when seeking alms,
  • Using a turn off the food bowl is life
  • just eat from his bowl
  • reject all other food,
  • just live in the forest,
  • living under the tree,
  • the outdoors, not indoors,
  • mainly live in the tomb site,
  • pleased with how his abode found while going from one place to another,
  • sleep sitting, never sleeping
The Buddha said that if we do want to increase the application of this rule, the more also, but He does not force anyone to do so. However, some of his monks chose to follow Devadatta, leaving the Buddha's Sangha and Sangha up their own.
According to Theravada Buddhism, the additional discipline by Devadatta set out of thirteen well-known as the first track ( Pali: dhutanga ) . The tradition of monks living in the forest still be found, for example in Thailand today, apparently derived from this practice. His Oscar Lettuce (Mahakashyapa, ' Od-chen-po bsrung ), a disciple of the Buddha, is the most famous practitioners of the discipline to follow it strictly. Many forms of this rule are the mendicants (Sanskrit: sadhus ) followed, in the Hindu tradition. The practice of them seems to be a continuation of the tradition of wandering mendicant reach directed at the Buddha.
Mahayana have a similar list for the first twelve virtues peculiar momentum ( sbyangs-pa'ispaceyon-tan Sanskrit: dhutaguna ) . Nomenclature leave it "does not miss home when walking through", adding that "even he has been thrown in the trash," combined two points "begging" and "only eat from his bowl" into one. The mahasiddhas Tantric ( grub-chen-po thob, Sanskrit: mahasiddha ) of Indian tradition later by the majority of this rule. The position is available in both religion, Mahayana Buddhism and Hinduism.
The separated from the Buddhist tradition has been strengthened, and founded a monastic order another - for example, in modern times, the establishment of a separate Buddhist center - not a problem. This act, in itself does not create a "break glass in the community of monks," one of the five grave (lnga mtshams-med) . However, Devadatta made ​​the glass break and commit a crime like that, because monks group split and his followers have adopted an extreme malice toward the community of monks and Buddha they vehemently criticized. According to some reports, the intention of the glass break this vicious lasted several centuries. [Back to the list of five grave, see: Bodhisattva Vow weight.] The narrative of the glass break to see the Buddha extremely tolerant and are not advocates of basic. If his followers want to apply strict discipline than what he had set out for them, it's okay; and if they do not want it also. No one is forced to practice what the Buddha taught. Even if a monk or nun who wants to leave the congregation also. However, it is extremely negative split the Buddhist communities, especially communities of monks and nuns separate into two or more groups in which one or both of the groups with extreme malice together, trying Center discredit or destroy each other. Even taking part in one of the sectarian conflict and later participated in the campaign of hatred against the other faction is extremely harmful. However, if one of the groups involved in acts of sabotage or harm, or harm the rule applies, then compassion where you would call the people aware of the dangers of joining that group. However, your engine when work must never be mixed with aversion, anger, or desire for revenge.



Buddha

Although the achievements were freed, Buddha overcame death usual lack of control; however, at the age of eighty-one, Buddha decided to teach his disciples to understand impermanence would be beneficial, and he left his body. Before doing this, He gave His attendant Ananda (Ananda, Kun-dga'-bo ) a chance to ask him to live and teach longer, but Ananda did not understand the suggestion Buddha's attention. This suggests that the Buddha taught only when there is a request, and if no one claims or care anymore and he will go elsewhere, where he can make a lot more beneficial. The presence and teachings of a master depending on the disciples.
Then in Kushinagar (Kushinagara, Ku-sha'i Grong-Khyer, Gnas rtsva-mchog ) , at the home of Chunda (Chunda), Buddha falls seriously ill after a meal because your life using this benefactor offered him and his group of monks. In the final moments, the Buddha told the monks that if they have any doubts or questions have no answer, they should rely on his teachings and precepts of their principles . Things that will now be their teacher. So, the Buddha states that each person must answer their questions from the teachings that. No one has absolute authority to give answers. Then the Buddha passed away.
Chunda was totally distraught that he had poisoned the Buddha. But Ananda comforted the owner of this position, saying that in fact he has created immense goodness karma, or "merit" big as offerings to Buddha's last meal before his death.
Tea Ceremony Pi was celebrated for the Buddha, and his remains were located in an stupas - monuments containing relics - especially in places become four major pilgrimage shrine for Buddhists:

  • Lumbini, the birth place of Buddha,
  • Bodhgaya, where Buddha achieved enlightenment,
  • Sa Nac, where he gave the first Dharma,
  • Kushinagar, where his death.

Conclude

The different Buddhist traditions have different narratives of the life of Buddha. The difference shows that each traditional notions of how the Buddha and what we can learn from his example.

  • The only Theravada texts about the historical Buddha. He set an example by practicing intensely how to achieve enlightenment, we will learn how to devote.
  • According to the general text of Mahayana, the Buddha gained enlightenment from a previous life period increased. By marketing a life with twelve enlightened, he taught us that enlightenment requires practice forever for the benefit of all beings.
  • According to the narrative of the Supreme Yogacara blackouts (anuttarayoga tantra), it appeared as Buddha Shakyamuni preached Paramita Sutra Da ( The Sutra on Far-Reaching Discriminateing Awareness , The Prajnaparamita Sutras) , simultaneously Germany Vajra Tri (Vajradhara) teaching Tantra. This suggests that the practice of Tantric teachings based purely on the Middle Topic (Madhyamaka) to zero Minister (voidness).
