The silence of Buddha.
The name of Buddha is "Conflict-ni-ca» means «Tier President in their static-ca»,
BUDDHA silence
The name of Buddha is "Conflict-ni-ca» means «Tier President in their static-ca», «imitation quiet in their Tri-ca», Sanskrit mauni means quiet. Buddha also called «Mahamuni»: Maha is great, "Mahamuni» is «Tier great silence» or your «Great Saints of Silence». Indeed, Buddha is a calm, quiet and worth a Buddhist teachings are aims to lead them to the realm of peace and quiet, peace and calm. All words are aging and fading, both birth and death, there is only silence was lasting and vivid: the silence of the Buddha from more than two hundred thousand years ago remain in our hearts today, if we see it and hear the echo of it in me. The silence which was demonstrated by a life of Buddha, manifested in every act of Buddha, silver in the teachings of Buddha . The silence was vast as space and timeless as time. I try to try to understand the meaning part of the great silence of the Buddha Dharma that through, because who knows her boundless silence is liberation. It was quiet before the question
Is there some question questions have been raised to ask the Buddha, but he did not answer because it is the wrong question and futile. Cling to these questions using rational arguments will fall into the pitfalls of conventional understanding, formulation and duality. Pitfalls that will lead to endless debate and successive questions, distract the practice. Many teachers live together with the Buddha, that is, in the sixth century BC, had advocated many doctrines in the field of metaphysical philosophy. But Buddha was sheltered for his followers to avoid the pitfalls that, not by prohibition, by argument or explanation, but by silence. Having all 14 questions like, after which the Buddha did not answer:

Having all 14 questions like, after which the Buddha did not answer:
1. The universe is eternity or not?
2. Space is not eternity?
3. The universe simultaneously eternity, has no-school-N-no-kill?
4. Space Council neither time-field-N-no-kill nor not-schools-there-any-kill?
5- border universe or not?
6- boundless universe or not?
7- Space Council the medium is limited to just immeasurable?
8- universe simultaneously is not limited, but it is not without limits?
9- and bodily life is something similar?
10- Life and the body may be two different things?
11. A liberated beings exist after death?
12. A liberated beings no longer exist after death?
13. A living being liberated existence, but also does not exist after death?
14. A liberated beings, while not being nor non-existing-existence after death? Above is what Beijing Cula- Malunkya-Sutta was recorded, this sutra presentation «The question useless» by a disciple of the Buddha named Malunkyaputta raised to ask the Buddha. He did not directly answer the question, but the direction of Malunkyaputta questions on what more practical: the suffering going on in front and what is making Malunkyaputta to panic in the mind:

He did not directly answer the question, but the direction of Malunkyaputta questions on what more practical: the suffering going on in front and what is making Malunkyaputta to panic in the mind:
«Hey Malunkyaputta, although there is a point in which the endless universe and have an opinion [other] by which the universe is not infinite, but first of all to understand that there is birth, there is aging, there is death, there is suffering, have lamented, with pain, torment and despair. [For] Me, I [only] lecture [for me] to the end these things in this world, in this life itself. So this Malunkuyaputta, please keep in mind what I preach, as I went through, and what I am not preaching, just as I do not preach ... "
(extract of Cula-Malunkya-Sutta, the French translation of Mohan Wijayaratna) sutras written the story as follows: a person with poisoned arrows, but do not take out the arrow and bandaged, just questions about who shot the arrow and bowstring made of nothing, the apothecary What toxic ..., if such inquiries continue, people will die before finding the answers to that question. The Buddha was not a cardinal imposed dogmas, nor a philosopher or scientist to give explanations about the universe or metaphysical arguments, the Buddha was a spiritual teacher Instructions for nature we see our own existence, while Buddha was also a physician medical treatment to get rid of suffering to find true peace and lasting joy. Here is another passage in doing Cula-Malunkya-Sutta repeated aimless character of metaphysical arguments and rational:

« The understanding that things do not make advancement in the practice, because it is not in the interest for peace and enlightenment. What benefits for peace and enlightenment that the Buddha preached to his disciples as the following: the truth of suffering, the origin of suffering, the elimination of suffering, the path to the elimination of suffering »
(extract of Cula-Malunkya-Sutta, the translation of Etienne Lamotte) Instead of Buddha involved in endless arguments of duality and conventions, he was dragged back to reality Malunkyaputta to look straight into the true nature of reality. Buddha gave Malunkyaputta disciple and for us today a true mystery tablet, but Buddha did not mention the size of the universe. When the Dharma tablet has soaked into our minds, dissolve toxins ignorance, the universe will appear to us in a transparent manner, without having to ask the universe that Buddha immortal or no. Silence is an open door, the infinite space, rational questions a closing act, a form of duality and can bind. If ponder carefully will notice very subtle features in the presentation as well as the Buddha's teachings in scripture. Such as how to present the question of doing Cula-Malunkyaputta-Sutta above, each raised questions sequentially by four questions:

If ponder carefully will notice very subtle features in the presentation as well as the Buddha's teachings in scripture. Such as how to present the question of doing Cula-Malunkyaputta-Sutta above, each raised questions sequentially by four questions:
- Eternal universe?
- the universe is not eternal?
- has eternal universe has not immortal?
- the universe has no eternal nor not eternal? If only put a single question: Universe have immortal or not? Questions will «shortcomings», sided personality will lead to endless controversy. The second part of the question; Is not the universe eternal or not? Two ways of presenting the questions raised character of dualistic opposites: yes and no. The third and fourth part of the question: the universe has eternal nor immortal, neither eternal nor not eternal, is the way of the whole question, the questions become meaningless . In conclusion a question if «full» will be available answer is that, the silence of the Buddha was extremely insightful. I look on this matter under another aspect. When asked about the cosmic Buddha immortal or not, the main Malunkyaputta unwittingly entangled in the following error:
- the universe is not eternal?
- has eternal universe has not immortal?
- the universe has no eternal nor not eternal? If only put a single question: Universe have immortal or not? Questions will «shortcomings», sided personality will lead to endless controversy. The second part of the question; Is not the universe eternal or not? Two ways of presenting the questions raised character of dualistic opposites: yes and no.

In conclusion a question if «full» will be available answer is that, the silence of the Buddha was extremely insightful. I look on this matter under another aspect. When asked about the cosmic Buddha immortal or not, the main Malunkyaputta unwittingly entangled in the following error:
- See the universe as a whole significantly, while the universe was just a case heterogeneous structure.
- see the universe exists firmly, but only the product universe of impermanence.
- watch Space is an entity outside the mind, but in fact the universe is just a picture of the mind. But such gross mistakes showed Malunkyaputta question is a wrong question. However, as just explained above, the third and fourth parts of the questions related to questions about the universe have both a perpetual right to immortality has also not indirectly have neutered and not, present and does not exist, that the abuse of language duality. The question of Malunkyaputta seems reasonable, but in fact meaningless, meaningless than relying on conventional expressions, formulas and opposition. Please also proved more with scientists and philosophers who seek the truth of Buddhism absolute, a true truth of reality, hallucinations escape nature, ephemeral and volatile, the real Buddhists he called absolute truth of reality. They do not seek the truth relative in nature, determined by observation, description, measurements reached, the arguments based on theories of mathematics or science of workers, and also not to rely on these rationalist arguments of the philosophers. In a nutshell the silence of the Buddha is a method of cutting off rational thinking process, breaking down conventional character of language and formula, including relative understanding of scientific and rational understanding of the philosopher. Understanding of Buddhism was a direct understanding by experience, discovered by practice and by spiritual transformation, a supernatural knowledge, and absolute clarity. Understanding Wisdom was called. The silence of sensual
Have an extremely important concept in Buddhism, but relatively few people pay attention to learn profound: the concept of bases (ayatana). Buddhist view is a sensory brain as other senses, for example, the ear hears sound, the smell brain thinking and emotions. So what bases are:
- see the universe exists firmly, but only the product universe of impermanence.
- watch Space is an entity outside the mind, but in fact the universe is just a picture of the mind. But such gross mistakes showed Malunkyaputta question is a wrong question.

Have an extremely important concept in Buddhism, but relatively few people pay attention to learn profound: the concept of bases (ayatana). Buddhist view is a sensory brain as other senses, for example, the ear hears sound, the smell brain thinking and emotions. So what bases are:
- Eyesense: vision, eye
- Turkish base: hearing, ear
- takes: smell, nose
- Damage based: taste, tongue
- based Body: tactile, relatives
- Italy apartment: thinking and emotion, perception (brain). The classification and definition above is a particularity of Buddhism. Concept bases as the core and at the same time object to the practice because they are originated everyone wrong and panic. Common classifications include bases, but if you'll go into detail scriptures differentiate into twelve categories (dvadasa ayatana): one side is six receptors and a side of six types of object or objects is sensed, collectively, twelve world or realm of knowledge feels. Six bodies called six sensual inner origin of perception (grahaka), include: the origin of the eye (caksurayatana ), derived from the ear (srotrayatana), nose (ghranayatana), from the tongue (jihvayatana), stems (kayavatana), from the mental (mana-ayatana). Six external objects (grahya) of the comments were: appearance (rupayatana), sound (sabdayatana), smell (gandhayatana), taste (rasayatana), structure (hard, soft, hot, cold ...) (sprastavyayatana ), mind (dharmayatana). The reason is called the origin as they role gives rise to discrimination dualistic «subject - object» (grahya-grahaka), and act as an intermediary between the subject and the object inside the outside. However, on the other hand, the classification of six books originated inside and six outside the above origins into three groups:
- Turkish base: hearing, ear
- takes: smell, nose
- Damage based: taste, tongue
- based Body: tactile, relatives
- Italy apartment: thinking and emotion, perception (brain). The classification and definition above is a particularity of Buddhism. Concept bases as the core and at the same time object to the practice because they are originated everyone wrong and panic. Common classifications include bases, but if you'll go into detail scriptures differentiate into twelve categories (dvadasa ayatana): one side is six receptors and a side of six types of object or objects is sensed, collectively, twelve world or realm of knowledge feels.

Six external objects (grahya) of the comments were: appearance (rupayatana), sound (sabdayatana), smell (gandhayatana), taste (rasayatana), structure (hard, soft, hot, cold ...) (sprastavyayatana ), mind (dharmayatana). The reason is called the origin as they role gives rise to discrimination dualistic «subject - object» (grahya-grahaka), and act as an intermediary between the subject and the object inside the outside. However, on the other hand, the classification of six books originated inside and six outside the above origins into three groups:
- The first group consists of originating within: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body.
- The second group consists of external origin: appearance (visible to the eye), sounds, smells, tastes, physical touch (identification) by touching.
- The third group is the source of knowledge within and origin of its object (ie mental phenomena). The operation of the brain and the objects Mental bring quite special features and more complex, the texts have been put in a separate group as the above classifications. The object of brain activity often misunderstood is that I, mine, the I, the self (atman) ... The living brain is nourished by the roots of the two first and second groups two (eyes, ears, nose, tongue ..., form, sound, smell, taste ...) As long as the above Ceremony Is digress or not? No. For the twelve origins comments on here are twelve ensuring pollution originated, ie the noise, the clamor stirred up the mind, lose the silence of the mind. Understanding the operation of the bases would shop more easily recognize the meaning of the silence of the Buddha Dharma. Let us take for example the case of the Atrium (ear) and audio. Sound is the subject of disaster awareness. Tai recorded sound, the signal coming from the ear sounds by the brain to incite, brain signals sensed that and recognize or «understand» that is «sound». Sounds are waves of many frequencies from low to high, ears perceive only a certain class of sound only. Hearing people can not hear the sound too weak and deaf not to recognize sounds, people born deaf is absolutely no previous experience of sound. People are distracted, even for sound agitated Ear and signal transmission to the brain really, but the house did not feel the distraction of being masked. When the brain perceive signals from the ear and «understand »that sounds, the understanding is that most initial expression arises from the base or consciousness. The expression of the brain, or consciousness, or, more generally is consciousness, not stop it. Why? Because the sound is pure sound, the sound is cursing, laughing, crying, singing, guitar sound, the sound of praise and blame disparaging language, language gentleness, English stabbing, gunshots, the sound of bombs ... The identification and significance of the sound that is expressed by the standard base. The expression is also not just stop at the above mentioned forms of understanding, because automatically generates emotions associated with expression signals: such as happiness and sadness, excitement, anger, envy, hope, anxiety, fear, terror etc ..., this emotion again caused little or much panic in the mind, followed by the panic or agitated turns on physical reactions and generate behavior. The silence of the mind or consciousness was one to eliminate all forms of expression levels as just mentioned above. An informal reception center outside world through the senses but do not express anything is a consciousness of peace, calm, a calm mind completely. The emotions expressed by the standard base will lead to attachment or hatred, or hatred from clinging will lead to intentions, since intentions turned into an idealistic behavior. The Second Chapter Quartet has recorded words of the Buddha Ca-Lettuce (a Buddha past) through the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni as follows:
- The second group consists of external origin: appearance (visible to the eye), sounds, smells, tastes, physical touch (identification) by touching.
- The third group is the source of knowledge within and origin of its object (ie mental phenomena). The operation of the brain and the objects Mental bring quite special features and more complex, the texts have been put in a separate group as the above classifications.

(quoted in Buddhist Studies of specific dictionary Chinese delegation As) roughly translated means the following: [Join] Education (attachment, hate ) born from the mind (intention) Italy [map] arising from ideology (the expression) [If] both (mind and thought) [becomes] calm (quiet) [Will] without hue (greed) did not have behavior (single standard) The above verse summarizes the lure of expression arising from the sixth sense, that is the basis of mind or consciousness. The silence of meditation
One purpose of meditation is to reveal a calm mind and tranquility (samatha), so can form peace and calm of consciousness concerned with how the operation of the senses? Zen meditation is a method of exercise help «the mind settles down" or in other words is "not thinking", please understand not think in this case is not to be dominated by the mind thinking everything and continuous emotional pull together to arise and manifest. So, to form «mind settles down» and «not thought» is a «silent». The silence of the mind according to Zen is a form of «primitive» or «pure» before being stirred action by the mind (intention), by judgment and the concept, which means that every expression. Form of consciousness can not be disturbed by any public expression can be a true form of balance, calm and bright. He could form expressions for «the stop» the following draws: feeling - expressed - mind - emotions - intentions - language and an idealistic behavior. The silence of a disturbed mind can not be done due to «physical posture» and the way different practices depending on the schools of thought. Sat, leaving only the movement of the breath, make the mind calm down. I try to take a practical example as follows. I'm sat for meditation, observing the workings of the mind, trying to track and settle every thought and emotion. But suddenly there is someone at the door or next room murmuring, defamatory or negative comments about us. We focused listening, we may face hot flashes and likely we will stand up for dialogue to find this person, the rectification or superiority. Or while meditating, I heard two people arguing neighbors front yard, they quarreled more and more aggressive, strike out the words vulgar, seems about to fight or stabbing each other. Although this case has nothing to do, but most likely I will stand up to run out and see. All of the above reactions, ie only standard behavior, as expressed by the birth. The sound is the wave of hysterical origin originating outside the inner ear that is, (the Atrium), born from ear TV signal to your brain, the brain receives, checks based on knowledge ie memory and experience of duality, formulas and conventions from previous accumulation, brain (standard units) that express these signals into voice and quarrelsome language. The expression continues to be pushed further: our voice is defamatory, aggressive sound shows about to lead to conflicts ..., was taken to the expression of emotions: anger being defamatory, curiosity for upcoming Shawls see two people together. Emotions such as anger, curiosity turned into an idealistic behavior make us abandon meditation posture and stood up. Why have clearly defined behavior on this is the only standard behavior, because only standard distillation all acts will create now, deeds (karma) means action. There were no deliberate act or an idealistic, such as digestion, heartburn, coughing, open closed eyelids, stretching ... This behavior is called neutralization. Although called neutral but actually still agitated to generate business, but now arising very small almost insignificant. All movements are born consequences ... except there was silence comprehensive nonviolent an absolute form from the body to the mind, does not give rise to new business only. So a person who is operating meditation how to avoid being provoked and external stand up? They had to stop the expression comes from the root. I can not stop the wave of sound, the ear can not prohibit receiving the waves that the brain can not stop the signal receiver. We can apply this example to other senses such as sight, smell etc ... In short the operation of the bases associated with the external environment remains in a state of normal operation, but the expression not occur, the meditator remains conscious transparent exposure of the mind with the outside world, but emotions and intentions are not evident. Once consciousness and initiative are bases, the meditator may keep mental balance and calm under any circumstances, while normal activities, which do not need to sit still. This person may be working, going from the streets, the streets, between the noise and volatility of the external environment, but the mind remains quiet, serene, like working or walking in a scene Gender was quiet, serene, peaceful and bright. It should be clarified that the form was not an unconscious forms of paralysis and sensory feel, whereas an expandable shape and sharpened the senses, a true state of awareness, different status neglect, insensitive, such as deafness, blindness, coma ... Coma or damaged senses not recorded signal can be a silent form of death is not the silence of a spiritual awakening. Koans and silence of Zen
Meditation is a method practiced in silence, adequately enforce silence, the maximum limit language conventions and duality. In addition to the basic texts of Mahayana Buddhism is used in Zen, the «classic» (Roku) particularities of this mission study included only anecdotes, short dialogue samples (mondo) and especially those Koan (koan). Of the original Chinese is gong'an project, known as kongan Korean, Japanese is koan, but the word koan not find texts written in classical Sanskrit or Pa-li tiêng. Koan is a new application of Zen Buddhist teachings as widely developed in China, which in the sixth century, especially from the tenth century to the present day. Koan includes thousands of stories or short statements and quotes from scripture, all are clustered in several episodes as Cliff continent, Unknown subjects concerned, Thong motive force and the continent ... The world of books recorded a total Zen koan 1700, today a third of which have been frequently used in practice, on the other hand modern meditators continued invention of new project further. Each yogi when the refuge is often the teacher gave a koan. So Koan is what? That's from chapter koan is a «court judgments», a «document recognized public events». For Zen, a koan is a method used for spiritual practice. The teacher gives the disciple a disciple judgment and freedom to learn, reflect and find answers. Koan can see is a form of dialogue between teachers and students, but in fact the purpose of the dialogue is not intended to project because the meaning of the sentence is often unreasonable, meaningless, unexpected, silly ... generally beyond every argument, every understanding conventional and conventional inference process. Koan can simply silence, can be a single word, a sentence or a gesture cruel very dismissive of the teacher, can be beaten, the purpose of helping to awaken the disciple . Here are a few examples of projects:

Each yogi when the refuge is often the teacher gave a koan. So Koan is what? That's from chapter koan is a «court judgments», a «document recognized public events». For Zen, a koan is a method used for spiritual practice. The teacher gives the disciple a disciple judgment and freedom to learn, reflect and find answers. Koan can see is a form of dialogue between teachers and students, but in fact the purpose of the dialogue is not intended to project because the meaning of the sentence is often unreasonable, meaningless, unexpected, silly ... generally beyond every argument, every understanding conventional and conventional inference process. Koan can simply silence, can be a single word, a sentence or a gesture cruel very dismissive of the teacher, can be beaten, the purpose of helping to awaken the disciple . Here are a few examples of projects:
- "The dog have Buddha nature or not? »: Koans of Zen master Zhao Zhou.
- "Spanish clapping of one hand": the Zen koan monk Hakuin.
- «face his original how, before he was born in this life ? »: Koan Hui Neng of the continental organization.
- "What is Buddha? »-« Balanced seed spikes Three »: koans of Zen master Dong Son.
- "Meet the Buddha kill the Buddha, see The kill team" (puff Buddha Buddha police, police puff Organization Organization): koans of the Rinzai Zen master.
- "Spanish clapping of one hand": the Zen koan monk Hakuin.
- «face his original how, before he was born in this life ? »: Koan Hui Neng of the continental organization.
- "What is Buddha? »-« Balanced seed spikes Three »: koans of Zen master Dong Son.
- "Meet the Buddha kill the Buddha, see The kill team" (puff Buddha Buddha police, police puff Organization Organization): koans of the Rinzai Zen master.
- If someone put any questions to the teacher fuse, he also put a finger on behalf of answers. One day, a Buddhist monk asked, his fellow disciples, that he was taught what the uncle, uncle put one finger right to reply. Master heard about it immediately to call attention to and suddenly grabbed the hands of a knife and chop uncle always forefinger. The disciple was too scared bloody hands that run. Master knife chase, suddenly glared screamed, turned disciple, monk put a finger on. The disciple startled despite no longer want to mimic your finger to bring up, instant sudden enlightenment. Personality unexpected, sudden and unjustified by the court aims to stop the express provisions Convention of consciousness. The panic and irrational when confronted with a mental judgment will fall into silence, slip out of any standard attachment. If a student continues to cling deliberately the rational deductive reasoning or formula, then the project will not be effective at all. For Zen, words have no meaning, can not be used to address the court, that kind of question as' dog Buddha-nature or not? »,« The clap of a hand »,« primitive face before birth ", ... no answer adapt. «What is Buddha?» - «Three balanced seed spikes! », Personality surprise and incongruity between questions and answers cut off all reactions of reason, all waiting for a rational nature has in mind. FAQ How is a trick of words help emptying the mind argues for a return to peace, primordial essence of consciousness. Questions «meet Buddha kill the Buddha, see To kill team» of Rinzai Zen monk in training is an important Gateless koan help yogis panic emptying cling, whether it be Buddhism or Dharma too. Fingers Detailed teacher's sentence put up in place of answers, referring to abandoning any idea, any rational argument, beyond the nonsense personality of words, put the questioner back to silence. However finger is still a way to express themselves, a basis for the attachment. Novice fingers are cut lose nothing left to cling again, when he looked back he saw her chasing a knife and screamed at the same time put a finger on, uncle panic, suddenly threatening to get meaninglessness and emptiness of all rational arguments and express convention, like the fingers of pay has been cut away. Also added to this is the novices later became a famous teacher. Let's go back for example a person who is meditating in segments previously raised, relating to the concept halt «thought »conventional, dualistic and rational, does not allow the apartments« express ». If the concept of the stop all thinking quite theoretical in nature, the way the use of certain projects is a practical approach, makes the base no expression, put the base or consciousness back to form pure, peaceful and calm. Meditating yogi raised in the previous example, but not external shocks, such as listening to others speak ill of her or heard two people arguing, creating panic feelings for not standing up, but people still can react in two different attitude. The attitude first is to keep your mind calm and peaceful despite hear people bad mouthing her with malice and wrong, or hear two neighbors are arguing with each other. If you keep the mind clear, smooth, sound-base comments or voice without expression, the silence of absolute consciousness and the infinite still, he is «response» of an A-la welding. The second is the attitude of meditation reveals mercy and infinite compassion investment for those who speak ill of her with malice, injured they are embroiled in negative karma, for people who are quarreling, the merciful for they because they are the prey of panic feelings, they're quivering with anger and ready stabbing each other. These emotions but positive nature of compassion, but the essence remains the feelings and emotions will continue to bind people in the world meditate reincarnation. Where reveal compassion as just mentioned is «response» of a Bodhisattva. " Do not say the words of the Buddha » «Enter Lang-old business' is an important sutras of Mahayana Buddhism , calculated and presented in Buddhist enlightenment beyond all dualistic concepts of language. In doing this the real record of transparency as follows: "Since the day of enlightenment until cessation, Buddha never said a word yet, and will not uttered a single word, because not say is the word speak of Buddha ". This statement mean? Means all Buddha preached Dharma which are based on duality and language conventions, ultimate nature of reality can not speak or describe in words. Ta-her world or Nirvana is just the name, is a formula expression, stripped of an absolute value. Without Nirvana world, the world as antagonistic or reincarnation Ta-she does not mean anything, the opposite if no Ta-her world, which is all Nirvana, the Nirvana nor mean anything. Black and white, yes and no, good and bad, the subject and object ... opposites together in pairs, that is characteristic of all dualistic understanding of our convention. When brought dualistic words and expressions to convey the understanding that knowledge is not knowledge, because it is impossible to describe adequately or Chan as authentic essence and supremacy of realistic. Only practice, the silence of meditation and intuition of spiritual purity, free of delusions can shop getting the absolute truth or the true nature of all phenomena, ie all objects and variables incidents are governed by the law of cause and condition and impermanent, we are constantly fluctuating around us. Above is what's found in the Buddha Dharma, but in fact Buddha had preached directly by silence. Once on Vulture Peak, before a large audience is quiet look at the Buddha to wait for a lecture, but Buddha holding a petal taken up and not say anything. All of them bewildered, alone with a man as his disciple Ma-ha Ca-lettuce face suddenly lit up and smiled. Upon seeing the petals and the silence of the Buddha, Ma-ha Ca-lettuce awakening and enlightenment. Then the Buddha told Ma-ha Ca-lettuce as follows: «I kept eye of Dharma Treasury, the shop shows subtle about Nirvana, the smoothness that is the door to see how consistent invisible minister, it is no longer dependent on the written word as well as words, it was imparted above all creeds. The so treasure it, I give it to Ma-ha Ca-lettuce ». The legend on here called "Flower To post acts goofy» (holding flowers smiling) refers to the transmission of French language overcomes all conventions, directly from mind to mind (of course transfer center center). It should also prove Nirvana is a Buddhist concept to be expressed and different definitions depending on the case. Here are definitions of Nibbana with the translation into Chinese in the Tang Dynasty of Shurangama-old: "Nirvana means seeing through to the abode of the essence, true to the essence". For Zen, seen throughout the abode of the essence in the form of intelligence can be Balaam confidential. What wisdom there is Avalokitesvara direct reception from the silence of the Buddha sitting in meditation next to go over to him Xa-profit-Waving in «Bat-elegant three-la Secret radar Heart Sutra". In the previous segment, we see that the absolute truth of all phenomena, ie the ultimate nature of reality can only be seen by customary practice, in silence and with spiritual intuition, but through stories Here we again recognize another Another aspect is the ultimate nature of reality that can only be imparted by the silence, between the mind and consciousness, such as by direct reception between consciousness Sense Buddha's enlightenment and awakening consciousness of Ma-ha Ca-lettuce. After Buddha's death, Ma-ha Ca-lettuce is considered as the head guide Sangha and also be seen as the first Patriarch of Zen India. The serial transmission of medical bowl until the 28th Patriarch Bodhi Dalai Lama (470-573). In the year 520, Bodhi Dalai Lama used the sea to Guangzhou to missionaries in China, Professor Liangyu imperial audience in the capital of Nanjing, but not convince you this king, the monk reached by boat Yangtze River to Luoyang and retreat in the Shaolin Temple on Tung Son range. After nine years of quiet, not saying anything, just facing the wall to meditate till Hue ability to ask for and would like to become a disciple monks. Bodhi Dalai Lama became the first patriarch of Zen Buddhism in China, and later Hue Kha was indoctrinated and became the second group. The silence of Hue Kha
During spreading Buddhism in China , Bodhi Dalai Lama have returned to India once, and before leaving with his disciples call back to survey their knowledge. Each person stood up to present his understanding of Dharma, and each time Bodhi Dalai Lama commended all who had "achieved the skin, the meat and the bones of him».

In the gentle spring breezes,
falling petals.
The words that I just chant,
there are few who doubt,
is the singing of the flower? The silence of a Tibetan monk
in a new book of French scholar Alain Grosrey, thick more than 900 pages, titled major Buddhist book (Le Grand livre du Bouddhisme, publishing house Albin Michel), released in late 2007, has narrated a debate between a teacher Korea and a Tibetan masters as follows: The meeting was held in 1970 in the United States between the Korean Zen master Seung Shan and Tibetan monks Kalou Rinpoche. Experts on Buddhism and Buddhists attended the United States very attentive and await the evolution of the debate between two masters of Buddhist wisdom on this. Every teacher is a disciple majority of his party in tow, two attending costume parties correct their sect. The meeting began very dignified and formal. Korean Zen master start before, maybe he wanted to use techniques of Zen inquiry recommended Tibetan monks challenge. He hooks an orange sands in sleeves and gave up Kalou Rinpoche asked the monk: "This is what? ». The audience looked at the orange, then stared at the Tibetan monks to wait for an answer, but Kalou Rinpoche Buddhist monks sit still so im in meditation posture, do not say a word and did not reveal a sign all. Korean monk stood up in the face pressed orange Tibetan monks and said loudly: "This is what?». Tibetan monks remained silent and, after a time-consuming trip to the ear since interpreter sitting next to, two people to shed a few words. Tibetan monks sat again. The translator spoke to the audience: "Mr. Rinpoche said that the issue of where? On Tibetan soil no commitment ". The meeting ended abruptly and unexpectedly so. Author Alain Grosrey the story over here to finish a segment presentation on Zen koans. Yes, the story is a project worthy of profound truth. However one can expand the understanding on several other aspects of the story: - The debate was short but profound and rich. - Zen and Buddhism Tan-tra are two completely different schools of thought another, developed in two different geographical locations, but were met on the ultimate level of Dharma. - The story reflects in part the integration «To post acts goofy flowers", but much more noisy. When Zen master Seung Shan brought oranges up to ask. All of them understood as oranges, because it is a conventional knowledge readily available, while waiting for an answer, but the answers they already know (orange), they expect something more interesting are provoking them. But Kalou Rinpoche monks not answered, if he answered that «orange», then the debate will continue, if he answered that "lemon", then the argument will emerge, not known ever new end. Kalou Rinpoche answer is on Tibetan soil without commitment, is to say that «orange» just a conventional understanding, is not absolute, not worth anything, not worth the answer, a person Tibetans living on Hy-code-Himalayan not know what an orange is, so where truth? The second is intended to answer next question, not related directly to the question, the key is how to sever the rational inference, stopped the expression of the house. He used the method of meditation to answer a teacher's question. The silence of the Tathagata and the noise of secular
Tam Buddha body is the abode of silence, stillness wearing his immense Buddha achieved when Enlightenment and Buddha also handed down to us, but we have seen is the silence it or not? The first line of the Buddha Diamond describes as a very simple monk, begging actually, meal, refreshments and sat down under a tree, true peace of mind and calm. Yes, Buddha barefoot, only two coffee-sa shirt to change, stitched with bits of rags, and a bowl for alms. The so simple and serene, the Buddha had to pay a high price to achieve, the price of the Enlightenment. Also not difficult to see the contrast between the two great existential stage of the Buddha before and after enlightenment. Life of Buddha before enlightenment is a noisy life and luxury in the palace, followed by a full ascetic life suffered, consciousness always been staggered by the suffering of living beings, in front of numerous Intelligent dense pervades this world. The second period was a period of peace and serene after the Buddha was enlightened and have seen the true nature of reality, the nature and quiet emptiness of all phenomena. Then in the forty-nine in preaching Buddha preached to us the path of liberation from the suffering of this world, the path takes us from the panic to joy, from loud to quiet, while also ensuring that the Buddha's life His example for us: noisy life of the palace converted into life and quiet simplicity of a mendicant monk. Quiet way of life that is the reflection of Truth as: silence is Nirvana, Nirvana is quiet. When the elderly, on the way Hong France, Buddha stopped in a deserted forest, the Buddhist fold-sa robe to lay his head quartered and lie down on the ground between two trees sa-la. Buddha lying sideways, legs straight, feet propped up on the other foot. Some of us claiming to be Buddhists, but we always go back to the path of Buddha has gone, we turn from the simple to complex, from poverty to wealth, from the needy to the palace, from quiet to noisy, despite the commitment it made on real or just wishful thinking and hallucinations. We need to have a noisy, noisy when born, in every event of life, noisy when lying down. Despite lying down, we are still trying proud trumpet, flowers, incense smoke, the sound of mourning, condolence, launching concepts, requirements ... We always go the opposite direction to the Buddha, larger eye toward ago to look into the illusion of a nirvana is at the back. In the fifth chapter of Diamonds, Buddha's disciples asked a Tu-Bodhi that is Tathagata has 32 major generals and 80 general good good parts or not, Tu-Bodhi answer is no. Buddha said the following: «Hey Tu-Bodhi, is like, everything is general in nature entrap them. All that's not the minister would not fooled. Not thanks to the minister that recognizes the Tathagata, all that is called minister is only emptiness, nothing outside the so-called minister ». In addition to the so-called «general», the true Tathagata is empty, deserted and silent. We're here, there's a good minister at all, but it tries to add all kinds of «General» in front of and behind the so-called nonsense by parents posed: Which title, diplomas, medals, responsibility ... These «General» was first used only to nurture and strengthen our ego, then to charlatan and trickster naive beings another. By Dharma, the Buddha opened up for us a world of calm, peace and happiness, instead of entering one to step up. Cai doors of the world that we do not see, I was fascinated by the world of hostility, noisy and volatile, are making glaring. In episode famous koans entitled subjects relating Anonymous (Ai no entrance) of Hue Khai teacher (1183-1260) wrote as follows:
