true nature of all things.
The word "religion" implies a broader meaning than the word "moral". Morality can improve what purpose related to the behavior and well-being of humans. The types that are morally akin jammed together in any corner of this world. Religion is a method of cultivation of a much more profound levels, but the standard practice religion is again very different. Moral help us become an honest man, said to act consistently with the principles stipulated for collective life in society, aims to help themselves do not cause damage to other people. But an even more true ethics must also bear suffering like everyone else, there is the suffering related to birth, aging, pain and death, let alone to the domination of dulling mental things. Indeed morality can not help eliminate the craving, hatred and ignorance, so will not eliminate suffering. Whereas religion - especially with Buddhism - aimed at further higher purpose: it is the complete elimination of pollution of the mental things, that is the possible suspension of all forms of suffering involved to the birth, aging, pain and death. That suggests that other religions with pure morality, and to Buddhism, then that difference is even more striking, especially when compared Buddhism with common moral system in the world This. Indeed the difference is too large and obvious, so we should also be interested to learn Buddhism see stars.
Buddhism is a method that aims to bring a specialized knowledge associated with the practice, and that gives us a consistent practice seen carrying a distinct structure for understanding the true nature of all things. So remember this definition, as it will help us understand the Buddhist easier.
We must always ask ourselves whether we shop see real objects properly with their existence or not. Even if we know ourselves is, what is life, what jobs are, what duty is, the means of subsistence is, money is nothing, what is wealth, honor and the famous are, but we dare to declare that we understand these things a thorough way or not? If we truly understand the true object of our existence, we will be unable to act is wrong, and if actions such as we always keep the public properly we have suffered such pain where. Actually, we are in the dark about the true nature of all bodies, so we can only behave properly only partial, and therefore impossible to avoid the arising of suffering. Buddhist practice enables purposeful help us realize what "rightly so". When you understand the way is clear, "it was like" it also means achieving kick on the Path, and also there is the final result also called Nirvana, because that knowledge has erasure is everything pollution in their minds.
When we reach an understanding "that's like," that means achieving the true nature of all bodies, then disenchantment will overtake and pass up on the passion, and contemporary Meanwhile however we will be liberated from all suffering. But in this moment, they are still being practiced in a hierarchy that we have not enough to understand what is the true nature of things, and most of us have yet to gain understanding that all is impermanent and totally not contain a "self" individual in nature at all. We still do not realize that this life with all the things that we stick, love, lust and you prefer ... are impermanent, unsatisfactory, and empty of a " fall ", so we still continue his passionate things, loved them, Appetite them, happy to have them, clinging to them. But it has to understand the Buddha's teachings, then we can see things properly rather, realize a transparent manner so that they are impermanent, unsatisfactory and not contained a "self" at all, and understand that we should not let us cling. Naturally then a sequential progression happens helps us solve gradually the dominant force of his body.
The essence of the Buddha's teachings in accordance Tripiṭaka actually not beyond the understanding of the true nature of all things - simply that. It takes engraved in mind that definition: that's what it is necessary to remember during practice.
Come think we should also select an example such as the Four Noble Truth (the Four Noble Truths) to demonstrate the solidity of the definition above.
The First Noble Truth says all are suffering or cause of suffering, it is pointed out how exactly the object is. But we are not able to understand all a source of suffering, so we still have the desire to want to be an object. As long as we know we are looking at the causes that brought misery, it was certain when we will no longer desire to be with them again.
Truth Noble said Monday that desire is the cause to bring suffering. It is also still not understand what it was, did not see anything, not enough to understand that the desire is the cause to bring suffering. The reason that we desire to have one or the another, simply because we do not understand the nature of desire is.
Noble Truth Tuesday showed that emancipation - that is no longer bound by the sufferings, which can form Nirvana - is the complete break off of desire. No one shall understand that Nirvana is a form that can be achieved anytime and anywhere , and at the right time when the desire completely melted away. The reason does not understand the nature of what is life so people would not be interested in killing stopped wanting. Also it does have interest in Nirvana to do because people do not know what it is.
Noble Truth Wednesday also called "Path" or the "Eightfold Path". That method eliminates all desire. No one shall understand that, and no one cares that the Eightfold Path can help eliminate suffering. No one person can see there is a substantial assistance they require, a fulcrum which they must quickly make more solid. They are not interested in the Noble Eightfold Path of the Buddha, even though it was a perfect jewel and most valuable than even the great mass of knowledgeable people. The ignorance that is indeed downright terrifying!
We've seen Four Noble Truth gives us a clear understanding of the true nature of all bodies, which means that if we keep joking with desire, then it will definitely bring me suffering ..., but we still insist on continuing to flirt with it for a while but we did not have the strength to bear the suffering anymore! Indeed there is a very tragic comedy! If you do not understand the true nature of things, we can not behave properly on any level yet. Indeed very rare fruit that can happen the case that their actions appropriately expressed in a natural way. Habits often his actions no different than the actions of those who are governed by attachment and simply gazed at the finality that justify the means. But in terms of spirituality, then such actions can not be defended.
Here we try to peel back a section of Pa-li books summarizes the essence of Buddhism see stars. These are the words of the monk A-theory-market (Assaji) told Shariputra (Sariputta) when Shariputra request this position please summarize the essence of Buddhism in a few very brief words. A-theory-market answer like this: "Any phenomenon would always arise from a cause. The Buddha demonstrates that the reason he is and why it can make the phenomenon disappears when we remove the causes giving rise to them. That's what the teacher was lecturing " . What the Buddha wanted to raise is all phenomena from the beginning needs to several causes combined to give rise to them. It is impossible to eliminate the phenomenon when the causes giving rise to it has not been eliminated.
That is one thing for us alert: never seen any thing could be self-contained entity in and immutable. All is impermanent. All indications are that the consequences, and the consequences are due to causes which we manifest depending on the cause and will disappear when the cause is gone. The world is just a endless flow of the forces of nature constantly interact with each other and together fluctuations. Buddhism tells us that all does not contain a certain individual characteristics. That was just a moving endless lines, and also represents a fundamental dissatisfaction, because it flows on without a freedom at all, all must rely on the rule of causes and consequences. The dissatisfaction was only ended when the (causal) above terminated, and the process then ended only when the cause is removed and when the cause has been eliminated, it also will not be an impact on what consequences can occur anymore.
Above is a very profound explanation of the true nature of every object that only those who have been enlightened to be able to raise it. That is the heart of Buddhism. Buddhism tells us that all these manifestations are just outside and we should not fall into the trap that so that this love or hate the other. Freeing the mind really mean completely escape the long chain of causes and drawn the consequences, and eradicate the causes. This method eliminates the dissatisfaction arising from the phenomenon creates the attraction or avoidance.
Here we try to find out about the intention of the Buddha when he chose it anyway rigorous ascetic practices. Motive prompted him? The answer is recorded in the scriptures as follows: He left home to become a monk in order to find answers to the following questions: "What good is the fact what?". The meaning of the word "good" ( kusala ) in this case wanted to say was the "perfection", ie the knowledge of absolute truth. Buddha wanted to find out what is suffering, cause of suffering is, of liberation from suffering is. Achieving absolute knowledge also means achieving the ultimate perfection (fullness) . The goal of Buddhism is not nothing other than perfect understanding of the true nature of all bodies.
There's also one other important concept in Buddhist doctrine called the Three Features (ie the concept of three imprints - many schools of Buddhism based on four markers, and Wednesday imprint called niet- table - nirvana) , there are impermanent ( anicca ), the unsatisfactory or suffering ( dukkha ), and a wealth-self ( anatta ). If not enough understand this, it also means not understand Buddhism is nothing. That means that all impermanent, all unsatisfactory and does not contain a "self" at all.
- As sure all impermanent voila means all consecutive changes, because there is no one entity (or "self") that may remain unchanged, even in the moment.
- When told that everything is unsatisfactory, then it means that all objects are contained in the source itself of misery and insecurity. Because of the nature of all bodies that reflect the alienation and disillusionment (disenchantment) .
- When told that there is no "self" voila means no place can have any one thing can be called an entity that people have the right to see it as a "man" ("the I ") or called "mine" (ie a "man" and what is "owned" by a man) . If we seize those things and bound ourselves to those things, then we will inevitably have to take the pain.
The physical object dangerous than fire burns because a ball of fire can be seen from afar, and thereby can be avoided; while he has things but is burning but the fire did not play, for things that they do not weigh anything, but just put two hands to hold, then we will inevitable pain.
Way above explanation helps us understand what is the true nature of the object in accordance with the meaning of the three features (three imprints: impermanent, unsatisfactory and not-self) . In short, it simply Buddhism is a pragmatic approach carries a distinct structure, in order to raise the object of our true nature.
It's very important to recognize the true nature of all bodies. After you have found the essence, the next he must also know how much exercise can adapt to the behavior that nature (of bodies) . Also scriptures also speak to other teachings, namely the words "great doctrine". These are the teachings of three points: not avoid doing bad things, to do things well, and purity of mind. This is also a fundamental principle of the practice. Once aware of all impermanent, not worth anything (suffering) and nor is "mine" (no-self) , I also understand that there was nothing worthy of me holding and grip crowding, and further that awareness is also a way to remind us to be very careful in every action, not do bad things, that do not violate the current rules which prohibit and to abandon all lust and cling excessively. On the other hand, it must do good - good thing here to understand the meaning of the sages raised. Two behavior has raised only upon the moral realm, whereas the third is behavior that eliminates everything to pure chemical pollution are the real consciousness of what characteristics of Buddhism. When the mind still bear the control of thoughts and emotions - which they referred to as the "mental object" - it is impossible to maintain the cleanliness and purity. Can form mental freedom can only be achieved in a very profound understanding of the nature of these "mental objects" thing. Lacking that knowledge, we will continue to wander like a blind man, driven by love or hate. So long as we still behave in such ways (ie love or hate) , we can not claim to be freedom.
We are human beings, so we are governed fundamentally by two emotions can form alone, no less: it is the desire and alienation (both can form involves two things of consciousness is sensual pleasure and discomfort) . Enslaved by the spiritual mood of yourself, so we can not find a single real freedom, simply because we do not understand the true nature of the spiritual mood or character be true. When we love a certain object, we want to seize it, to possess it. For an object which we hate, we seek to push it out or exclude it. When two possible forms that emotion exists, then our mind will also be bound. When the mind is still falling into negligence fails to recognize that this is your favorite, is hated by the other, then the mind has not been purified and not inevitably bring the control from the reaction itself. Thus, the highest teaching rank of Buddhism is to remove all objects cling to create charms or disgust, and may have to go beyond that, ie to remove all the stick And clinging to the good ones and bad ones. When the mind is purified and eliminate both the above reaction of emotion, it will find freedom.
Other religions only to avoid the bad advice and should stick to something good, something good cling too tightly to grip always the highest ranks of it: it is God. Buddhism goes much further than that because Buddhism does not accept any public attachment. Cling to what is good as an object for the practice can only lead to a temporary rank it, because afterwards no matter where we have tried to go further then that practice will stop there and it will not take us beyond other rank higher. Practicing at the lowest levels to avoid bad things, then they must try our best to do good, and in the highest ranks, they must take the mind beyond the control of both the good and the bad .
While still cling to the fruits of action brought good then we have not yet achieved the complete liberation from suffering. If such a person to suffer violent relationship with his ferocious is a good person must also suffer the good relationship with the other person. If you are a good person, then we will also suffer similar other good people have to suffer. A good celestial beings still feel the pain occurs for all the celestial beings, including one suffering gods must also correlate with the sacred nature of the him. The complete liberation of suffering can only happen when an instance is freed and beyond what is called "the good", that became a saint ( Aryan ), ie a individual took on the condition of human bondage to then become a totally perfect individual that is an Arhat.
As we have seen, ie the Buddhist teachings of Buddha, also known as the Enlightenment position, and Buddhists were put into practice his teachings. So Buddha was enlightened about? It's very simple, that is the true nature of all bodies. In summary Buddhism is the teachings help us see what exactly that. So on our part must train yourself how to be able to recognize the truth was. We can believe that when achieving perfect understanding, then all the desires that time will interpret it to evaporate, because the knowledge will be revealed right at the moment that ignorance arrested to disappear.
For Buddhism, any aspect of practice would always aim at promoting understanding. The reason is very simple because if you want to achieve understanding, we must guide the mind on the path to help her reach the center of the Buddha Dharma (Buddha-Dhamma). However, it must know How to practice can achieve a proper understanding by the profound contemplation and bring transparency, not a superficial understanding of the secular can make yourself confuse evil and the good, and believe that a certain cause will lead to happiness but the truth is that it is only brought misery origin. Try to look at things through their suffering can form and then sequentially step by step we will also gain an understanding as just mentioned. Understanding that is the understanding of Buddhism, built on very sound principles.
If you know which method is used, any ordinary person does not necessarily have a high level of education, also can achieve refined his place of Buddhism. Meanwhile a profound scholar of religion, achieved so much a college degree, only buried in the study of the Tipitaka without center bar looked over angular objects that (suffering) , they will never be able comprehend the teachings. Some of us, thanks to a clever ability that can be studied and carefully observe objects help her see the true nature of them. Of course the need to observe all phenomena happened to us, learn the essence of them, and especially to see the origin of suffering because we bring, what suffering that will burst into flame to burn you. Be based on what is explained above to deploy a high-level attention to help tell us observe, judge and waiting to see the suffering will happen to you like: that's the best method to learn Dharma of the Buddha (Buddha-Dhamma) . Doing so will bring us more benefits is to learn Dhamma in the Tipitaka. If constantly focused on the study of Dharma in the Tipitaka, whether in terms of language or literature, they are also powerless to help us discover the true nature of all things. Of course Tripiṭaka countless documented explanation of the true nature of all things, and yet it is only known as the parrot listen and then repeat what I remember. They do not have the strength to go deep into the true nature of all things. But if they know using insight to yourself to discover your mind see how operation, said based on personal experience to notice the pollution had done to his mind was dulling the stars, the operation of nature's suffering and how - in other words everything that creates its own life - they will have enough ability to go deep into the true Dharma Buddha.
For example someone who never read or heard of the Tipitaka, but he knows very profound observations per suffering appears burned themselves out and how, it would be justified he knew learn Tipitaka directly and correctly than those who only know that reading brought out. These are people who know only seek pleasure by stroking the scriptures, they are completely unaware that the pages that contain both a platform immortal Dharma. Also, we are fortunate to be inherited human potential, but unfortunately we only know that the potential use of labor input to every story unhelpful and did not think about using it to learn What is his view, and does not solve the difficulties of his own. We always caught in suffering, being a slave to lust, and in every moment of this life desire was always looking for more ways to increase the availability of their suffering, while her former who brought the situation just mentioned is very simple: it is one of their ignorance did not allow her to see the true nature of all bodies.
Indeed very difficult for us to understand the Tipitaka and the profound truth contained in it, so it's better we should start learning the Buddha Dharma by understanding the true nature of yourself first. Let us recognize all file objects created this body and his mind is this. Learn the lessons from this life brings, a life revolving endless cycle of desire, of the actions arising from the desire, the desire to be the beneficiary of the results by the Executive which bring ...; then all those things continue to nurture the desire to further urge that benefit many more things, and continue so till eternity. Life was caught in the vicious cycle of Ta-her world (Samsara), which is the ocean of suffering, which causes it to very simple: there is the obtuse not know What about the true nature of all things.
In short, Buddhism is a pragmatic approach with a clear structure, intended to help us to see the right things with their true nature. When we see that the nature of them, then we would no longer need to ask for help to anyone else stood out teach or booster for us, because we can cultivate for themselves . The degree of improvement that we achieved on the Path of Arhat will correlate with increased levels of capability eliminates these pollutants in the mind, and the ability to avoid wrong actions bloomer. Finally, we will achieve what most noble of one man, and that is also what they call the fruits brought by the Way, that it was to Nirvana. We can achieve Nirvana self alone, by simply trying to practice to learn the deepest sense of the true nature of things is enough.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.26/6/2015.
