My grandmother realm of us is a realm full of delusion and desire. We're diving in pool Drop cuadau suffering tears and mud of desire, live propelled into that situation, we will not see the bright shore, to swim in peace. It is pitiful to our human condition. 

But the chapel where we have that! We, from without beginning, where sources feet quiet, extremely lucid. As a thought suddenly, launch a great ignorance, we were reeling in birth and death, floating in the three realms of six roads.

III-  The Refuge Jewels 

After you understand how the regulation-Triple Gem, of course to practice understanding by the general operating ay.Thuc reverence, obedience to the Three-protected, so-called Triple-protection rules. 

1 - The Regulation-Medicine Buddha: Every day, we must remember always to Buddhist thought, reciting the name of Buddha, admire him, and vow to follow his footsteps, that is the rules-y Buddha. 

2 - The Rules-Y France: Daily reciting Economics, Law, Luan; two times early yesterday meticulous, learn deep mystical meaning of Dharma. When reciting sutras lovely mind does not think dirty, do not remember how bad things, not intended for plotting table selfishness, kindness damage. We abolish desires, the mind is lucid, peace and purity. 

3. The Code-Y Increase: The world often say: "Weight Buddha, to glass Increase". So, if we are sincere worship Buddha, so are we really have experienced increase much. The practice of the rules-Sangha, everyone saw the first round square coat, genuine spiritual practice, keeping precepts, immediately respected, valued, as it is representative of the Buddha. Doing so is the regulation-Sangha. 

In a nutshell, worship Buddha, litigation, Precept, study the Dharma, Sangha genuine respect, it was, in the rules-y tam-protected. 

IV-  Li Refuge Jewels 

The reason is inside. Ly Tam-protection rules-y-y mean Tam-protection provisions in our minds. If we just practice the rules-y, just follow the Three-protected wanderings outside, forgetting rules-medical reasons, means forgetting the Three-protected inside our mind, then we have not done right that Tommy precious. Indeed, inside the center we have the Three-protected. We need to carry luggage rules-y, or the Three Self regulation-Y: 

1. Self-Regulation-Medicine Buddha: his self mean for their self-interest. Justice rules is his Buddha-self back to the Buddha nature of his mind lucid, - Well everyone has Buddha nature, and he can become a Buddha. That is what Buddha Shakyamuni taught. But he was deluded Buddhahood, delusions obscuring. Delusions as nebulosity, Buddha nature as the moon. Clouds may obscure fuzzy, but can not destroy the bright moon. Buddha nature we were ignorant delusion deep to where often there. So why do we forget our Buddha nature, which only runs under invoke Buddha outside; like children "with death" with jewels, his parents hid available in cross-coat it does not know, to go begging along everywhere! 

2. Self-Regulation-Y France: ie obey its legal nature. In our mind there is enough all France: From Damascus, Tri-Property, Equality, Sang-transparent, Ren-humiliation, Crystal-ton ... we must uphold his virtues and acts upon them, obey them. Thus the French-Y Tu Quy. 

3. Self-regulation-Y Increase: means obey me in my heart, I in my heart is pure virtue of its harmony, as the Sangha is the embodiment of pure harmony outside. So long because of his ignorance, not his perceived me in mind, thanks to Buddha taught, I was his teacher noticed her purity, then we must provide their teacher-y before was that! 

In short, we must rely on and turn to the Buddha in his mind was lucid nature; with France in mind that these virtues from rabbis, Hy-discharge etc .., with the increase in our mind is harmony, purity of the mind. Such as Ly Quy-Y Tam-protected. 

V- Rite Refuges 

Once we have understood THE PHYSICAL Regulation-y and then, we also need to know through ritual sacrifice Rules-y. 

1. Shampoo Rinse Body must first Pure Mind Up. 

Rules-y is the most important event on our path of practice. It is the departure to go to the purpose of liberation, so we can not see often, celebrations were indiscriminately. 

When you want rules-y, we have y-uniforms, shopping tray monks to Mass sometimes seems younger, worship and pray to invite monks pleased Since rabbis passed their own regulations-world. 

Before the ceremony, the body and mind, we must be clean wash. I showered dressed clean. It is about the body; also in mind we have three phen penance, for three is pure business. Thanks to both internal and external cleansing shampoo that I deserve new French noble purity of the Three-protected. 

2. Phat Nguyen. 

By now provided-y, we have to kneel down; follow the instructions of the monks, solemnly pledge: 

- Lodging a lifelong e-health regulations Buddha. 

- Lodging a lifelong e-health regulations France. 

- Lodging a lifelong e-Sangha regulations. 

After the vows Three-regulation and who vow to be sure that you have planted the seeds of liberation, how well will reap good results is escapism three evil way: Hell, Peta-demon, Animal-born . So who rules-he finally went on three occasions: 

- Students of Buddhist rules-y then, from hell. 

- Students of rules-y France and, from fall preta. 

- Students of rules-Sangha and then, out of rotten animal. 

So complete and Tam-Tam-regulation fetters. 

To preserve its lofty ideals and keep the faith the Path, the voluntary rules-y a strong and sincere cacg: 

- Students of quy- Buddha refuge vows not natural life, gods, demons, animals. 

- To e-health provisions France, perpetual vows not provided-y pagan, heathen. 

- Students of rules-Sangha, lifelong vow not provided with evil-y party damage. 

Such as rules-y feast complete. Believers who only work in accordance with his words made a vow and has sworn before the Three-protected. 

VI - Benefits of Three Refuges 

1. From astray claim in dark places. 

As we saw in the opening paragraph of this article, we are quietly Drop in the sea of ​​suffering, are struggles between the vast darkness. In such tragic circumstances, if not find the means to go to, there is no teacher to mentor to, then we will whirl forever in the sea of ​​rebirth. What purpose does the Buddha morning, the media was France, and brought him to his guru's guidance increase. As we all know there are so precious that no embrace, ye dead wax duoiu khacgi people saw the raft passed and waved back Foolish push it out.  

The rules-y is a way to cling to the raft Three-sure that Buddha was devised to rescue those drowning in the sea all our lives. 

2. When did vow rules-y, its easy to keep the promise, because there is proof of Buddhas and they increase. 

Someone said: "I worship the Buddha, because He is the one who knows perfectly lucid; I planted in France knowing Dharma are qualified to take people to liberation; I know that the glass Increases for the great Buddha stands for. Knowing how well enough, must the rules-y prayer ceremony? " 

Talk like that is not understood in terms of the value of the promise psychology, oath in front of others. When we have promised someone something, but renege, they're soul chuing scourges, regretted not Police. Forums promised all have the duty to fulfill the promises, if ventricular promise, all we're going to self-contempt. Especially when the promise, vow that the election row in a solemn scene before Optoelectronics Buddha, on the evidence of Buddhas tri, tri under the witness of the monks, around the concept of the body by households relatives; vow in that context, of course, we hardly left the prayer or distraction is. 

C - Conclusion 

Advises believers should provide both the mixed-y Ly and diligent in the rules-y 

We have seen, Buddhists, it must be-y. Rules-y have enough A and Li. Do not rely entirely outside that distraction inside. Nor should complete their own self-esteem and self-respect that disdain outside. Want regulation-y, you must first solemn ceremony to mark provided -y his first step on the road to liberation. Mass farewell ceremony was as a person to go get a new mission. But once they set foot on the road, the man must wanderings, decided Godspeed for the destination, rather than wait, rotated upside to a location, or turn over the other reclining. Forums vow rules-y but not in the footsteps of the Buddha had left, no inspiration in the example of the Buddha were to uphold, not preach that temperaments training; not keep discipline, disobedience reminder of monks, such is deceiving himself and deceiving others, and the harm is even greater than non-medical procedures. 

Conversely, if we provided care and practice-just as it was a vow the path of liberation though remote, will also see the target date. 

Please always remember the last words of the Buddha:
