Heavy industry and the salvation of the Buddha.

Mahayana Buddhism has always put the focus where arises the Supreme Bodhi-mind to free birth and death for themselves and for the salvation of all beings, help all beings become Buddhas like himself. So who can not continually arise Infinite-upper Bodhicitta or not to create conditions for himself and all living beings Buddha-cognitive achievements momentum, then who's still n Guoi multi brought many heavy karma.

 

1. An elders, ordained monks and religious well-head momentum (ascetic) has more than 50 years. His confidence in and a good example for many Buddhists. Although older, but he still regularly kept right effort, never forgotten alms alms, even for a day.

The other day the news spreading around the city makes people stunned: When alms return, he met unexpected accident, a motorcycle collided. He has recorded Nirvana spill at the scene. We hear a lot of Buddhists whispers: "He practiced diligently and seriously, why such a tragic death? Probably his career too heavy? Heavy industry?

Another 60 nuns, joined the small, serious morality, always give rise to preaching, giving, donations. The other day sitting behind a motorcycle, a car fell flatting with his torso. However nun still awake, his hands and recite the Buddha advised his disciples to forgive the driver smiles just crime, then gently breathing new. My friend is extremely urgent, hurried narrative everything and shouted: "I can not stand, a spiritual person so why take so heavy?" I waited for him to speak out new emotions "I remember, in the Buddhist scriptures clearly teach: 'Death of how and under what circumstances death are past due retribution from countless lifetimes, we can not interfere mortal being. Not dead in bed is better on the accident scene, all a reason to do away from this body to go to another life '. He is a Buddhist practice, of course, should not be dead center in the state things like that, but it is best to be dead when the "most real center of turmoil," calm the mind, as do all the time mind death - to that?

Also, a female Buddhist religious most of his life at home, the bodhisattva precepts, vegan, besides always join charity never regret and assets and effort. However, with age, it carries the disease itself, part destitution, but increasingly sparse brethren gradually. Like children, the child has an accident, the child failed to eat, to give the land that goes, that she was only a shadow thui thui, early afternoon only fun with rosary beads. Many people burn mouth scornfully: "heavy industry".

In life and in the discourse about the religion, we often hear people around or uttered the word "heavy". This term is used to end a life story, a form of the news, or to criticize poor behavior of a certain individual.

Here, we do not evaluate his work is right or wrong. But simply to discuss the meaning of the word Heavy Buddhist perspective which we learned only. And those who want to learn deeply about Enterprise, please search in the treasures of Buddhist texts, or can consult the honorable rank.

2. Does an entity called "Heavy" or not?

"Karma" is a noun Indian philosophy before Shakyamuni appear. Its basic meaning is "action" or "habit".

But when Shakyamuni used to present the doctrine because his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, the word has different meanings, richer and more intensive shirt. Today, we just limit this article in two words "heavy industry" that we or arbitrarily use, go easy!

"Heavy" is a very ambiguous wording ambiguous, since it is always dependent on the context, depending on the system or philosophy, thought that it should be interpreted. Habits often, people only understand "Heavy" means heavy karma, either: faced retribution bad, bad trouble.

In view of the world (of the unbelievers and learning Buddha Buddha) is: who the poor destitute, ill, disabled yoke, urgent accident, part religion insecurity, painful adversity, tough life, neurotically emotional, daily life is not so stable. the galaxy was called "guys have heavy karma" or "that which was heavy"

Buddhism does not recognize a shortsighted and shortcomings so.

3. But Buddhism has many types of perceptions depend on many doctrinal background; ideological differences. Please turn presented as follows:

In view of the original, a being known as heavy as this person was not in a position to make a liberated life. That the goal of liberation is attaining Sainthood Arhat (achieved selfless center), ending the career expectancy.

So we can conclude that he Arhat, all beings are not liberated are heavy, because extant by karma and not by selfless mentality (Even the prime Tu Career stone-finished, Tu-momentum-levels, A-na-alive function also by karma in general and not reached Anatta).

Above is the doctrine for religious persons, even the laity (who are the Three Refuges and Five Precepts maintenance), apart from donations and put bowls for Buddhist monks and nuns, they must endeavor life over Bat boy to be born Thien (born to heaven). So who does not regularly maintain life Bat boy, will not be "living God", so can be called heavy.

4. The central concept of Mahayana, why?

Mahayana Buddhism has always put the focus where arises the Supreme Bodhi-mind to free birth and death for themselves and for the salvation of all beings, help all beings become Buddhas like himself.

So who can not continually arise Infinite-upper Bodhicitta or not to create conditions for himself and all living beings Buddha-cognitive achievements momentum, then who's still n Guoi multi brought many heavy karma.

That is temporary nghai of the word "heavy" is an overview over the Mahayana teachings.

Also, depending on the method of spiritual practice that one can interpret weighty words in many different meanings, can be used in different contexts.

5. For example, Zen advocates: "Online only heartless, is the nature of Buddha" is the criterion for all disciples and disciple, does not exclude anyone. So those who do not "see nature," that is not caught "his eyebrows face before parents born" (language of Zen called: not realizing the primordial presence of his position), and not Stage achievements ability Phat it was a heavy man. Even the monk, the Venerable, teacher, patriarchs, if someone still linger outside the door, the longer damnation, DC Meets birth, should call that person who has heavy karma, pitiful blame!

Concrete flower taken seriously "Separated world, enter the legal world" only weaken practice. Those who are caught by lasso five desires, bound by negativity stumbling block and tri basis. also involved in worldly benefits and even the production efficiency of the world, but not super Vietnamese incarnate nature unthinkable equality of the legal world ... seriously cardboard States call this person was still heavy karma.

Instant French Teacher Tiantai United concrete enough "Import Declaration enlightened Buddha market knowledge" as a goal and the basis for all religious believers. Therefore everyone who has not entered the Buddhist enlightenment of knowledge but also live with worldly perspective, all things look with the eyes of profane, full of sense of discrimination, to separate good from bad and evil because compassion material deprivation , not to promote the intellectual capacity of the Buddha, who is still heavy karma, not the concrete realization of Tiantai only teachers in particular, and not feel the magic of the Buddhist sense in general.

French General ie Vijnaptivada subjects he took "Photography thousands of Chan Duy Thuc legal nature" (all for no wake) make the core for the practice, while making ultimate end of life. Those who do not have the ability to perform Chan Duy Thuc nature, then call this person was still heavy karma.

Tong Law took "Photography relatives in Execution Language standard-la-nature" as cardboard only. Ie walking outside, all the activities, movement, speech, thought, are dwelling in the Gender Identity. If no expression is so, then who was also called Law Tong heavy karma.

Three Madhyamika take "Lia Yes and No, straight into the Middle Way" as cardboard only, and then proceed to "super Tu Cu, wonderful Bach Africa" ​​made the ultimate cure. Who expressed the opposite, that is also entangled the Yes of ordinary, or something not of the Saints, then we call this person was still heavy karma.

6. Land method of the stars?

Followers of the Pure Land, being Western Buddhist concept Ecstasy bridge must be taken "Faith Prayer Happy" as a main condition for the practice, and accept "a life reborn, is retrogression" as a goal finally the Buddha. Whether increasing, continuous, men and women are no exception. (Faith is belief in the salvific uniqueness of the Buddhas. Prayer is the will wish to return to live in a pure land. Happy is regularly proclaimed male model concept amitābha continuous Buddha, not discontinuity). Who does not have the ability to perform forest Tin Nguyen Hanh and when they have not been reborn in the Pure, the sect will call this person was severely karma "still entangled consequences", to stay worldly, rolling in three realms six lines.

Pure 7- Especially in Japan, you like his Sensei First Turn, Honen and Shinran, are strongly commended 2 parts:

I. Title Male model amitābha means wins, just as the end is paramount, both provided sufficient space for all acts, thoughts and words of the practitioner.

II- The chapel amitābha have the great ability to save all those "heavy industry, merit contempt, deeply offensive, dried lily," Then all the spiritual beings is not necessary for all living beings, regardless special. Therefore let us not forget that, in the Pure Land of the Patriarchs extremely joyful, enjoy protection for those who often disdain the world's heavy karma, the lower pedestal base position, is rotten coward weak. Because Buddha amitābha always favor those who sin, heavy industry, and always treat them with compassion special:

But in fact, except the saints in the birth and death remains manifest to save beings, ... all living beings who are all heavy industry.

8. In summary, the term "heavy industry" has no place in the hearts of Buddhists (for anybody who seriously now, under different forms, in different guises, in different positions other- the need is there to futile discussion to an event supposedly very gentle so good?) or in other words:

Buddhism is no distinction "heavy" or "light industry". Because contrary, whoever heavier now, as the Buddhist salvation urgently, as favored by The Vow amitābha thoroughly, completely satisfied.

Venerable Quang Kham, a high increase in today's meditation courses, taught: "Title Male-pattern amitābha contain Buddha's infinite capacity building inconceivable, do ye not all karma cleansing despite being deep to where affordable again? Yet we should not fear its heavy karma, but ask yourself: we practice six red letters list was honest, true, or not?

Again, Buddha amitābha like loving mothers, so children do encounter danger, misery, that great tragic disaster cries the mother was granted to interested immediately, to express poignant and urgent relief. And this is not hard to understand! So we do not fear that their heavy industry, but also standing disdain of others is "heavy", because if such undertakings, lest we seem to not understand and do not believe in The Vow A-di-da ! He Shinran say:

Fortunately for those substances contain many evil deeds, because they will be saving emergency Buddha!

Because I am a husband not being heavy, I was profoundly grateful for The Vow more, it truly is setting out to save me.

(Excerpt of Taitetsu Water River Fire River Unno, translation Retreat)

Well, to a mysterious island to win trophies so, new redundancy capabilities of what we spiritual conversion, transformation evil dirty mind becomes subtle Nirvana, by transporting those referring dulling Heavy Industry guilty karma to settle in the realm Ecstasy use?

9. We need to confirm that Buddhism not only for smart people, ethical (this class very few, not many people), which is specifically for people vulnerable to the temptation of sin , bore too heavy, evil behavior, psychological infatuation. Thus, new clarified infinite virtues of compassion of all the Buddhas, monks and Bodhisattvas.

Angulimala each kill 999 people, and conspired against Sakyamuni, the Buddha's enlightenment, but also and taught until evangelism. As Yasa, a wealthy dandy sensual passion, he still admitted as a disciple, then soon saw results. As Asia-profit-da-old Ban was the ignorance and delusion padded, has been taken into Buddhist congregation. Later become talented astute arguments, known as the First Job Me means or.

So we should be optimistic, no matter how mild or severe your business, be sure to practice truth and absolute trust in the unlimited redemption of the Buddhas.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH TAM GIAC.( VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN PRAYED BUDDHIST NUN MONASTERY ).THICH CHAN TANH.( VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY ).AUSTRALIA,ADELAIDE,SYDNEY.29/7/2015.
