Buddhism.

 A-Open Thread : 

Buddha was born as a big karmic: Claim import market being enlightened Buddha knowledge. 

People often say life in a superficial way to bluff, "What religion is good!". That statement, or as a courtesy to please guests, or for unknown surface of how the various Path, so new that way. Actually, the purpose, the director does have its value, nothing more than another step higher on low only. But good intentions anyway, is not enough. The important thing is how to accomplish that goal, and will bring vast benefits for life. Ask if any director has equal value, then why 2,500 years ago, while Indian origin had already directed 94 minutes, but Shakyamuni Buddha also spent another Christmas do? 

Not through the Path, though many, but not yet full "feet, goodness and beauty", so the new Buddha present market response, religion teach beings Supreme Enlightenment, so that liberation from suffering rebirth , is itself in endless problems like Buddha. The Lotus Sutra says, "For a big karmic, Buddha appeared out of life." 

What was great predestined? It is: "Opening markets being enlightened Buddha enter knowledge" so that all beings are fascinated change whereby the enlightened see the nature expressed interest, beyond life from death, suffering and attain bliss. 

Definition 
1. Thoughtful mean? The word religion has three meanings: Path is the path; Path is a duty; Truth is absolute identity management, is the essence. 

a) Path is the path, as it is often used in these words: humanitarian, natural religion, religion hell, hungry ghosts religion, animals religion. All that is the way it has good, bad, good, evil vv..Theo Buddhism, h remaining within treated, it can not completely call ultimately. 

b) Act as a duty, as people often use the word: religion king me, religion teachers and students, religion vv..Pham duty spouses often influenced by customs or usages. Customs and traditions of this country unlike other countries. So the mainstream is also not true to duty means that the Buddhist Path word meant. 

c) Truth is * of absolute nature, is the Thea, it leaves speak, inconceivable. Lord Lao-tzu said: "Truth that comes out to be, not a religion". Someone asked an old Patriarchs: "What is Truth?". Patriarch replied: "First of Buddha Oai Yin Wang, no name Buddha and sentient beings, then is the Path". 

The word of the Buddha Way is synonymous with this substance. 

2. The word Buddha mean? The word Buddha, properly speaking Sanskrit Bouddha (of the Buddha). The Chinese translated as enlightened, (annoyed enlightened, wise completely). Enlightenment had three frustrating:  

a) Voluntarily: That is entirely due to self-enlightenment and wisdom blessed meticulous practice, different byproducts were also deluded, rebirths are working in the physical plane, customs suffering. 

B) Sense excuse: It means that you have awakened, the enlightened methods that provide training for practitioners as his enlightenment. The convent of Theravada sense tha can not get, because his only worry freed. Just follow Mahayana monk newly acquired sense of forgiveness, that is enlightenment for all sentient beings are immersed. 

C) Sensory happy fulfillment: That is completely full enlightenment for themselves and for the people. These Bodhisattvas, however enlightened themselves and the people, but the actions are not fulfilled, should not be called "Enlightenment Giac Hanh Consummation". Only new Buddha * Giac Hanh called Consummation. 

The word Buddha was a common noun to call these steps voluntarily, and visual sense tha happy consummation, rather than a particular noun to call a certain person. Who austerities are attained as mentioned above are known as the Buddha. 

3. What is Buddhism? According to the definition of the word Buddha Path and places mentioned above, we can interpret the word Buddhism as follows: Buddhism is a path right feet, quite wisely put to the essence of things, is of great essence for, leave all falsehoods distinction, but completely enlightened beings have invented. Buddhism includes all self-interest and the benefit of others, self-discipline, sense of forgiveness and his deeds, the people are quite achieved, the ultimate consummation. 
  

B- Parent Thread 

Buddhism have from time to time? has two meanings: ontological standpoint, that should be Buddhism have from without beginning (ie no clue, no limit in time). Since Buddhism is the nature of enlightened beings, so there are living beings with Buddhism; that beings without beginning, it has since Buddhism also from without beginning. Historical standpoint and term life in this world that say, then Buddhism has had since 2501 (1) year (until 1957), 544 years before Christianity. 
  

Who is the founder of Buddhism? 

Buddhists need to know the history of their pontiff. 

Below, please mention briefly the main points of life pontiff, who was the founder of Buddhism, that is, Buddha Sakyamuni 

Buddha Sakyamuni, the former prince of Kapilavastu (Kapilavastu) Central Indian origin, Accessories Shuddhodana United Earlier royal name Da Na (Sudhodana); Form prince named Maya (Maya). They are packed Ma He, translated ancient punch, his name laTat Gautama (Shidartha). As word Shakyamuni (Sakya), Ship Power Nhon translated as: Power is the capacity, Nhon is compassion. Muni (Muni) means President Wear: President is quiet, no fun doing mental suffering; Even as quietly, not disturbing, Trouble, his level of people, full of merit. 

As a child he had lucid intellect and extraordinary talent. Raised see human suffering, that life is impermanent, so he determined to export from, find their way to their liberation and the people, in order to bring all beings to the shore of enlightenment. 

After six years of ascetic in Snow Mountain (Himalayas), he saw the ascetic mortification such, can not attain the truth, so he passed through mountains Koda, sitting under the Bodhi tree (Tat La Bat, negative translation the voice of India) and swore: "If I had not attained enlightenment, whether meat bone crushing tan, we also decided not to get up from this place." With a mighty determination even then, after 49 days of thinking, he saw the truth of the universe's birth and evangelism Bodhi. After enlightenment, he traveled all over the land, preaching the students, to being moved about the treatment, be happy-suffering. During the period of 49 years, as a talented physician, look for medicine sick, he was led to the road being happy and bars for all road enlightenment. 

By 80, he attained Nirvana in Kusinagara, the Sala forest (Song Tho). At that time, aimed at the lunar full moon day in February. 

Buddhist teachings like? 

Buddhist doctrine consists of three classic organ is the Business, Law, Luan. 

1. Beijing: Beijing is the words of the Buddha Shakyamuni said while still alive, to teach beings stopped defilements and reach Nirvana results. 

2. Law: Law is the commandment that He made it to the disciples, for the disciples commandments of evil, and the good practice, improve body and mind for purity. 

3. Arguments: Arguments are part of many Buddhist practitioners by making clear to iron out the mystery in economic sense, law or decisive nature, of the French Minister, distinguish words that * no cuam path and heresy, making the life from left to get wrong, right and wrong. 

Tripitaka is divided into two kinds of Mahayana and Theravada. 

Thua word means transportation, a place also known as surplus, ie the wagon. Excess or surplus are implied meaning: Teachings of the Buddha whose functions like a car, take beings from mundane work place defilement to purity peaceful realms, from suffering ocean of samsara to nirvana, the exit. 

Mahayana as a great vehicle, which can carry more people at a time; whereas Theravada as a small carriage, carrying each time only a few people only. 

The reason teachings Buddhism split into Mahayana and Theravada like, because radical and aspirations being uneven. The classes who find themselves just enough to free himself only partial, as small vehicle carrying a few people, then follow Theravada teachings. 

Those who rated themselves may find themselves newly freed himself and for the rebirth out voluntarily their degrees and go to nirvana, like a large wagon, and transported in a time more person, then follow the Mahayana. This category was clearly knows negativity, birth and death as illusory, should not bear fruit soon happily in its final position, which is usually the birth never know fatigue; and due notice beings suffer, then I can not be joyful. 

The Spread of Buddhism: 

After Sakyamuni passed away, two disciples of Buddha Kasyapa and Ananda Buddha Dhamma preacher replacement in India. It is the first period. Second period by the Patriarch Nagarjuna, Asanga Asvaghosa and leadership. Third period by the Patriarch Long Tri, Śubhakarasiṃha and Padmasambhava assumed. 

From India, Buddhism spread into neighboring countries, and the whole of East Asia, and eventually the whole world. This diffusion go in two directions: one toward the north and one facing south. (See History of Buddhism spreading lock 5) 

On the North, the North called North Ton Phuong or Buddhist, or Mahayana Buddhism, including countries: Tibet, China, Mongolia, Manchuria, Goryeo, Japan, Vietnam and so on. 

On the South, the South called Southern or Buddhist religion, or Theravada Buddhism, and Theravada Buddhism, including countries: Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, etc. .. 

But thanks to the convenient transportation and classics awarded * abundant throughout the country, so the divide between Northern and Southern religious principles no longer as clear as before: in Mahayana and Theravada remain in Theravada remains There Mahayana. 

The Benefits of Buddhism: 

The purpose of Buddhism is to bring beautiful results later beings:
