The Educational Spirit of Bhagavan and
the relationship between him and the disciples, devas,
Evil Ma and Exchange Act.
V iết the Exalted, the researchers Buddhism often refers to him as a god cardinal has found the path to liberation and specify this path for humanity, or refer to him as a great home ideas , a social revolutionary, etc .. But there are rare these essays, works refer to him as an ideological education, and his teaching as an ideological system of comprehensive education and advanced.
In this item, we learn through the prism Bhagavan education.
As we all know, education is the culture and civilization of mankind. Buddhism, for over twenty-five centuries influence, has contributed to human culture, if not Buddhism can make a so-called Buddhist culture for humanity. Events this contribution illuminates enough Buddhism as an educational system. Let's find out in particular:
Education, widely interpreted, as the two-way street of learning and teaching of man from birth until death, and available in three living environments: family, school and society .
Buddhist karma theory of the formation of the body see the five aggregates as a result of past actions. From "New Industry" was formed through the deliberate actions of body, speech and mind. Buddhism advocates the liberation of Industry: transformation from bad karma good karma, and good karma coming from liberation. That means: Buddhism is the way girls and educate the two sides enough perception and action, from birth until death, in all habitats.
That is the first meeting point for meaningful education and distance education environment between Buddhism and education, so that it was not until the second half of the twentieth century new educational encounter Buddhism.
Faith Education
Speaking of education refers to basic beliefs of say, the open development trust forever. Education believes in man there is a nearly endless possibilities, can acquire a lot of knowledge, and can adjust any deviation of psychological, physical, physiological and thinking of themselves. This is why the school has taught many courses open to everyone, including those who have mental retardation.
Sources her ability, Buddhism called enlightened ability that everyone can apply through self effort. Empire Way, in the Four Truths of Buddhism, is the way he applied ability. We can say this is the insight and selfless faith is opened from the teachings of Bhagavan "Necessarily selfless approach" (Sabbe dhammā anattà - Dhp. 279).
Because perception is selflessness, and the new law should be selfless can perform cognitive metabolism and metabolism of Justice, and new creative works.
If the measures, including awareness, the self, is never possible innovative sources appear, and never the cause of education can be made. Selfless teachings of Buddhism, like, the result made the basic beliefs of education, in other words, the belief of Buddhist education. This is the second encounter.
Educational Goals
A good education guidelines always aimed to two objectives: to train people and human society itself. Human society to meet the social needs such as economy, culture, education, defense, politics. The man it is the whole person of the physical, psychological, physiological, will, emotions and intellect are fluent. An education system lacks either the goal was an education is not complete.
Bhagavan was fully human education of her face. Socially, Beijing Singala (School Nikaya 31; Han organs: Kinh Thien Biology, School A-levels) says building six perfect relationship of society: Mutual communication between parents and children; between teachers and students; husbands and wives; individual and her children, neighbors and friends; owners and workers; monks and laymen.
Angutara, Chapter Seven French, referring to the seven that make a prosperous nation, France primaries comes to good government should implement the ten so-called "Cross the legal prince" (France primaries and Jataka ).
Beijing cakkavatti Lion Roar, Schools Nikaya III - No. 26, said that poverty is the main cause of theft, brutality, hatred, violence and immorality. To improve his social status, need to improve the economy by providing seeds and farming facilities to farmers, providing investment capital to the merchant, and pay adequate wages for workers. Then Bhagavan taught, the feast of sacrifice should be replaced with a diagnosis and give people great.
Personally, Bhagavan teaches happiness of family life. Each individual needs to perform sufficient: (1)
- Good workmanship, diligence, said executive job.
- Know the balance of expenditure, revenue (keep the expenditure of revenues).
- Know the legal wealth creation in their labor force.
- Know top Investment.
- Knowing befriends friendly (Yes gender, Faith and Knowledge).
- Know the balance and psychological health.
- Knowing care afterlife: confident, For, About and Wisdom.
- Learn to live in the present, master reflection, not regret the past, not future fantasies ....
With educational content, the only modern school of the late twentieth century, with a perfect education system include sufficient educational psychology, physiology and art, new encounters religious spirit and content Exercise of the Buddhists.
Personal responsibility
The first is personal responsibility. Bhagavan does not teach people to depend upon him, to entrust himself to any power at all. He teaches "Thou shalt do thy work, because I teach only path" (Dhp XX 4). "You are your own refuge, who else could be the refuge". (Dhp. X II 4). "Italy leads the French, the owner, the creation ..." (Dhp. I, 1).
Speaking of business, and the Central Business Anguttara states: "The agent, business owners, heirs of Industry" (2).
Without personal responsibility, the causality of Buddhism there is nothing to talk about anymore, Buddhists no longer have reason to be in life. Without personal responsibility, the school can not establish educational, social and law enforcement will not have a place, life will be kind.
Spiritual education individual responsibility must always be done better in a perfect education system.
This educational spirit caught the spirit of Buddhist education from more than twenty-five centuries.
Individual Education
Effective educational methods and the most reasonable of modern school education is personal methods that are not mass education. Because each student has the heart condition, birth, physical, emotional, intellectual and different living conditions, and should be well received conditions and different educational methods.
Personal spiritual education reflects the spirit of education "joints" of Buddhism. Buddha has actually applying principles from the early contract teaching facility. Photos lotus lotus ponds have stemmed not from the mud, there are lotus stems both from the mud, there are lotus stalks in water halfway up, there are lotus stalks rise out of the water, absorb sunlight and fragrant shine. Also, people have disagreements Hotel grounds, someone quickly understand, someone dull, heavy people participated, some heavy on the field, with people weighing in si, someone like a net, some people like hyperactive etc .. But all through the process of education, which in turn would like lotus petals reaching out to direct water to absorb the teachings of liberation. So do not hesitate to Bhagavan teaching road, depending on the base edification, encouragement makes them the benefits, peace and liberation. Buddhist terminology is often said there are 84,000 legal subjects, adapt to different inborn 84,000 people.
Later, during the development of Mahayana Buddhism, the spirit of "joints" to get through the teachings uphold the "Five ministers", "Tam admitted", "second redundant" and "Most admit" of Sutra States.
Bhagavan was very skilful use spirit "slot" in the linguistic expressions, manner of expression and the psychological adaptation to the audience to hear the French, but we met a lot of the past classics Buddhism.
When to farmers, Bhagavan used language and images farmers; Sat-soles to them-profit, Brahmin, Bhagavan engaging expression and their own language.
In addition to speaking French audience listening, Bhagavan also said France right time and right place, making the effect of the French are more efficient. This meaning is also included in the spirit of "joints" thing.
Bhagavan precepts are also set out principles joints: monks and nuns, Male, Female lay there own rules.
The subjects to meditate and meditation are just different training for different inborn (The evidence will be presented in Chapter Dharma).
To clearly see the effect of this mechanical Khe spirit, we can cite the following simple example:
Rice is a nutritious food for everyone (this is the meaning "Deed"). But the amount of rice to different use between adults and children, amid healthy with sick time (this is the meaning "carambola engine"). Rice came to me at no other than fasting. It is also in the sense of "joints".
Modern education has applied the principle of "joints" in teaching, in the selection of courses, majors, careers for students with a good technique called technical education. Educational technology accompanied by educational psychology is modern highlights, progress of modern education. Score this Carambola education of Buddhism to wait until the second half of the twentieth century, the new man on campus use, new catch it.
Spiritual Reality, Reality
A spirit of distinguished education that Bhagavan is spiritual teaching "Practical Present", or spiritual practice, reality.
The "Tree Lau" teach: (3)
"No coal was over,
not looking forward to the next,
even with the current Live,
therefore, individualized color magic,Do expect the upcoming
coal Do it. '
So fools wither,
leaving the branches As green mop ".
Beijing "Ananda Nhat Da Hien" record: (4)
"The past is not traced,
not future aspirations,
past was total annihilation,
the less future,
only the present law,
Wisdom is here ... ".
With human life, the present is real only (relatively). Live means live in the present, live in the present; in other words, only the living present. Now with the current living is practical spirit. Sighs regret the past or future dreams not only to herself in the non-food place, even to himself embroiled in psychological disorder, suffering and loss of current is, the current dynamic, new cool, creative, full of vital, and can now be permanent if they know convince (dispel notions of time).
If you do not accept the present as it is, to apply effective ability and his intelligence come to peace, happiness and liberation, then, as Bhagavan taught, his identity solution will wither quick as green mop leaving the branches. My life is happy and wither like.
If you go into modern educational psychology, especially psychotherapy industry (Psychotherapy), we'll see instant results, most of the disorders, melancholy of youth (or human, in general ) are due to human thinking caused, especially thinking about the past is not practical, the future of the vain. Having the results of education statistical conclusion: Maybe 90% lost their lives by the thoughts and fantasies that mistake.
It is easy to understand! These events nasty incidents happened to her, causing her sorrow for the few, but their thinking about the events that disturbed, their troubles are many. Besides, think much about the past and future not only practical lose time and energy, the time and energy that should be used to bring joy to yourself and people.
Thus, the present and here as a safe island that Bhagavan has only refuge for people from crashing into the ocean sink sorrow of hope, and so that means life can go on, happy that thousands of people go searching.
After returning to the present, people have to know and master the lustful thinking (Venerable Ca-fried-performing economic interpretation Nhat Da sage): Like it or not want what, thinking or not thinking of What to get practical benefits.
In the Cula-Mãlunkyaputta (5), Mãlunkyaputta posed ten questions to ask Bhagavan metaphysical (World often impermanent? Tathagata exists after death? Etc ..) Bhagavan was silent no answer . He tells a story Mãlunkyaputta been poisoned arrows. The issue is urgent surgeries detoxify right, not a problem to find the background of arrows and shoot arrows before his surgery. Likewise, the urgent problem of man is pulling arrows "suffering" and not go looking for the answers to the metaphysical problem not practical.
Once in Kosambi (Samyutta Nikaya V), Bhagavan taught the monks: "What is Tathagata knows likened Simsapa leaf forest, and what the Tathagata teaching less like the leaves in my hand, but here are methods other than suffering. " That is the nature of reality, real, very practical present the teachings of Bhagavan.
In other trading, the current practical significance also Bhagavan explained: Observe self, self-interested to see what greed, hatred and delusion to rid the current practical.
Teaching about happy family life, as presented in the previous section, the very real nature of spiritual education of Bhagavan, Bhagavan was not only for his disciples to go into prayer or ritual on the way to find happiness. He says: Te significantly above the altar giving, helping others and sense of sacrifice is the main practice of self-liberation. (6)
Spiritual practice, the fact that a prominent educational spirit of modern educational psychology. Through his spiritual practices, Buddhism emerged very nuanced as "education".
Mental Critical
One other outstanding spirit very "college", very "science", which surprised the researchers religious spirit is criticism based on the experience of life itself smoothly between these. When counsel who are bewildered suspect Kalama previous pagan statement showed its teachings are true, is the number one, the Exalted says: "Behold the Kalama, do not be guided by the report, or by tradition or by rumors. Do not let be guided by canonical jurisdiction, or by mere reasoning, or by inference, or by a superficial judgment, or because the excitement of the reasoning, or by things' seem 'can occur, or by the thought' This is our guru. "But this of Kalama, when the he himself know for sure that these things are good as well, Please accept and follow them. " (7)
Bhagavan teaches practitioners consider even Bhagavan was evident his dignity.
Critical spirit which is always associated with reality, reality, very objective, very understanding not to perceive human slavery bear under any power, any power. Currently, critical spirit as a standard for the university spirit.
Spiritual Guidance
As previously cited, Bhagavan Bhagavan confirmed only the directions, but they themselves must do the work of his own. Beijing Venaka Mahamoggallana (Central III) Beijing Great Nirvana (the II School; Chinese organ: Bat Nirvana) wrote: At the time of going to die, Bhagavan refused leadership Sangha when Illustration A Bhagavan -nan ask for words of leaders, teachers move, and venerable wonder that after Exalted Nirvana, the Sangha will be no one leader. Exalted says: "Relying on France, the French leader". France here must be understood as a path to peace, happiness and liberation. A full forty-five years of teaching, Bhagavan was always the only road that never ordered or forced anyone to obey Him.
Guiding spirit of modern educational psychology, educational direction and the basic spirit of the new education, cloning. Accordingly, a good teacher is a psychological guide.
Thus, the Exalted has paved the way for an advanced education for over twenty five centuries ago, through the spirit of educational guides are people, very human in understanding attitude.
Bhagavan North organs look like a king physicians, patients see beings and drugs. Well, it's just the spirit of the directions. In Nikàya and A-levels, Bhagavan uphold the miracle method, through body and speech teacher teacher, by observing and analyzing reality. The purpose of His teaching is to help people recognize themselves heard road and do your own path.
Spirit Incentives
Educational spirit "guide" is inherently a unique educational spirit was Bhagavan maneuver parallel with psychological encouragement, encouragement that people need as oxygen.
Nikàya and A-levels are usually recorded: "Bhagavan has preached and encouraged, making them the benefits. Until the sages school property should still be encouraging Bhagavan".
The product 'Herbal Du "," crude "," Universal Worthy "of the Lotus also revive the spirit of Bhagavan was encouraging.
Until the last moment of this life are not forgotten Bhagavan encouraged monks: "The compounded is impermanent, be diligent to let no distraction," and encouraged the steward of his precious body "Ānanda, let no grief, not long before he will attain what has not attained". (Beijing Mahaparinirvana, Digha I, 1991).
Sector expertise from modern educational psychology called the encouragement he is "Encouragement" and reminded the teachers, therapists, psychologists, never forget that his pupil and his client are need encouragement.
It's amazing, the way here over twenty-five centuries have applied Bhagavan skilful encouragement taught psychology on his way.
Mental confidence, self Owner
Incentives are prepared to build self-confidence and sense of autonomy of disciples.
Besides the presentation of doctrine true transparency to suffer collective, collective sufferings kill, and destroy samudaya religion, Bhagavan confirmed that by his own efforts, humans can accomplish liberation in life This. Only humans back own refuge is teaching people with self-confidence back.
Confidence indispensable for the practice of liberation. It is indispensable for the hungry. Others did not believe I could survive, but do not believe in yourself then it is difficult to live, or false if it is able to live life lost meaning.
In practice transformation roadmap psychology, Bhagavan is the starting signal for the teach rapture, happiness, calm ... Thanh Tu-momentum-completion is defined as any rotten faith in the path of liberation her.
Events Bhagavan was born and practiced until the direction is credit event set itself the human being at the center of the life and death obscure, immense.
In addition to the direct teachings encourage practitioners, Bhagavan also use indirect forms as the case he declared position attained by some young disciples (novice). Typically, cases of venerable disciple Xa-profit-waving and disciple of Venerable A-recruiter-term-momentum (Presbyterian Increased shelf), through some direct disciples enter old age, some of the pagan monk, some cases as Ton Ni ni Patacara, who suffered spectacular in life to the point of despair (Theri) etc ..
Opting venerable Xa-profit-waving as "Shogun Dharma", Venerable Moggallana predicate "second disciple" of Bhagavan (the two venerable convent after a thousand other disciples and smaller age many others) and Venerable Upali (barber), chair of the Law, also speak a certain sense more incentives, in addition to the intrinsic value of this venerable. This is the confidence and encouragement that Bhagavan for Sangha that enlightenment is not necessarily related to practice time, age or social class. Anyone can attain supreme insight, according to his striving.
Bhagavan case of venerable Nan-momentum (Nanda) is a typical case speaks encouraging psychological effect of Bhagavan.
Nan-momentum venerable capital of mesmerizing beauty bride (inappropriate care) should not be religious. Bhagavan vehicles Nan-use Kabbalah gave momentum to Hell. At that demon hell Nan-momentum seen only pan of boiling oil and said: "This oil pan waiting venerable Nan-da, who are lazy to practice." Then Bhagavan gave up visit Nan-da "Three decades celestial triangle". Here, the magnificent promise Fairies waiting venerable Nan-da coexistence, if venerable practice diligently. Back to earth venerable Nan-wife does not remember any more momentum, just think of fairies and striving, then, attained Sainthood always.
Depending on which Bhagavan psychological encouraged, Presbyterians gatha scored a highlight color case other incentives, cases of venerable mothers Xa-profit-waving.
When alive, the Venerable was the firstborn of the Tathagata, she was often scolded venerable as rabies, leaving them to beg wealthy but strenuous. Whether that follow pagan mother, worship Brahma but not the venerable Catholic mother and export by teachers themselves, and did not find any better way is there to endure the scolding mother, each time meeting her venerable. Until about to enter Nirvana, Venerable returned home to visit his mother and manifested diarrhea. The king of the world turn to God Education attendant please do most venerable in the last hours. Both the king Brahma also to ask servant, Venerable deny everything. After the King of Heaven to leave, new mothers about the king asked venerable God did. Venerable said: "King of Heaven to finally king Brahma, worship your mother." Mothers rejoiced in amazement, realizing that their children make the big lead. Chi strangled her heart rejoice ... Know the time the mother has come, dear venerable photography collection pure mind and speak French to his mother. She immediately obtained immediately Tu-momentum-complete results, thanks to the encouragement previous section, venerable instant Nirvana his spot.
In psychological terms joyful, happy, optimistic, liberating teachings very listeners can be entered.
Therefore, the North organ trading, according to our best traditions often praise, praise, encouragement, who habitually, recitation, transcribing and the classic saying. This is a form of self-confidence building steps for the practitioner in input liberation.
Diamond Sutra and the Lotus Sutra can typically sense that encouraging self-confidence. A short that the Diamond Sutra to fourteen times Bhagavan who praised the virtues of life over, reciting, said the ...
Through the area of education in school, self-confidence is a virtue that education is responsible for the human construction. By lack of self-confidence, it will lack autonomy and student dependence, no effective use of autologous ability to solve and build personal.
Lack of self-confidence, the educational psychology can not use these techniques to help educate youth to solve their problems, and do not apply the creative possibilities. As the psychological problems of young individuals not be effectively resolved, the teaching and learning will not take effect.
Going into the national social problem, a mighty nation can not be the result of the generation build self-confidence and lack of young melancholy.
Just look simple like that, we also recognize the importance of encouraging the spirit of education and self-confidence. The spirit that was Bhagavan educate His disciples ago twenty-five centuries.
Spirit of Independence, Except Slavery
Buddhism teaches people to go to the rescue, that is away from all bondage, all slavery. The largest slave of slaves phenomenal world of his lust. Desire is the root of ignorance. It is the Noble Eightfold Path leading to alobha, adosa, si, escape from all suffering yoke. Perform this road is done step by step self-knowledge, self-control, or master. Such an education would be the type of training to master; living benefits for themselves and society, the happiness of the individual and society, smashing every yoke tied inside and outside.
Education independent spirit, autonomy for youth is a social goal that schools need to take seriously. Educational spirit of Buddhism, therefore, consistent with the educational and cultural background of the country.
Develop educational spirit alobha, very angrily, and an extensive si further, we see a positive spirit of Buddhism contributed significantly to the building of good society.
Acquiring unbridled greed, the youth will self extinguishing corrupt leadership of society, or at least does not create favorable conditions for corruption arise. In the name of spirituality, corruption-prone than those excluded in the name of other educators.
Adosa would extinguish some rebellious phenomenon, dispute, cause trouble in society.
Amoha will help extend the line to the intelligence and creativity of ornate factors well, and of human civilization.
It is regrettable if a different approach of Buddhist education nice and not aggressive like an effective use in the new school today.
The above is not only a spirit of Buddhist education was drawn a discrete manner, which is located in a consistent look, with inclusiveness and integrity.
Human Comprehensive Education
An education that teaches the knowledge to an afternoon meeting social goals of education is not comprehensive.
An education only provide knowledge, exercise and some moral issues, ethical, full convention is not comprehensive.
An education that transmit knowledge, fitness, moral education, aesthetic education, and labor physiology does not tell the full meaning. The issue of education pathways become full or not is therefore consistent look and comprehensive human or not.
Placing such issues is the problem of educational type. Man is what needs to be determined before deciding on the content to be taught and teach people what like.
The advanced education guidelines are often unstable in the construction of this type.
Buddhism particularly prominent in the intellectual, human and see things as they really are, so hopefully will be a sample promotion possible ideal person.
This world born by Coast. Man is born due Coast. World and man have a common identity that should last Dependent students are present in a duality relation. Individuals, families and society in which the duality relation.
Bhagavan defines the so-called man is merely a collection of five aggregates (form, feeling, perception, volition and consciousness). Five Aggregates are also the world, according to the teachings of Bhagavan (Samyutta Nikaya IV, the Beijing Migajala and many others). Education humans is comprehensive education Five Aggregates.
About aggregate of form, specify the human and physical world, the birth, existence and annihilation of it. Similarly for the remaining four aggregates. Five Aggregates empty, no ego, it is the existence of interdependence should impermanence and suffering. However, according to Buddhist wisdom, five aggregates is not the root of suffering. Education is key to specify craving, grasping, the root of suffering is not the physical world often fluently, and also specify the root of happiness, happiness is wisdom or intellectual liberation. From here, Buddhist educators should identify a number of educational content: Wisdom (wisdom) rather than knowledge (knowledge). Knowledge is the product only of selfhood thinking, part of the proceedings man, that is not the whole man. It does not speak to the reality of selflessness and true selflessness happy. Only when wisdom (right understanding and right thought) are present, the new comprehensive human presence. Comprehensive education is education provides knowledge has just facilitating that intelligence arises.
Standard value is happy rather than moral.
If we can not deny the goal of life is happiness, the standard value of life is happiness, rather than the moral principles or discipline of school full of old conventions. In the new school, the whole person accepts and retains the moral point, discipline fits happily headed towards him.
For example, lying is bad, according to moral principles. But lying to the other sufferings. Schooling in this case, to choose the benefit and happiness of the country and its people than to tell the truth harm.
Art education, emotional and physiological.
The study of music, art, etc .. emotional aesthetic and physiological needs are taken into schools to teach students in appropriate age groups. The goal has to be assessed as necessary other social sciences.
An education system that does not recognize the importance of aesthetic education, emotional and physiological distortions are still not comprehensive. The main problem of education is to help youth know look and know how to live to bring happiness to oneself and to society.
Human problems with traditional culture.
Culture, tradition is a product of man. So to put humans and human happiness before culture and traditions. Put people after culture, tradition is put the plow before the ox. Buddha says: "Do not let be guided by tradition ...". New and comprehensive education to maintain the traditions just good, old culture what is appropriate for this educational pathway. The main role of comprehensive education is to build a comprehensive new culture.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGTHMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGTHFOLD PATH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.22/5/2015.
