The mission of Buddhism.

As we can see, Buddhism had no expression or advocating theocratic forms of superstition. Buddha is the Master Teacher guided away, not bring the evil god bless. Sentient beings have a choice as to their direction, or to follow the Buddha, will be freed as his peace, or turned the other way, it has the right to create and order now received the corresponding retribution. Main Buddhism has given all beings freedom and absolute equality rights when the cardinal repeatedly declares: "Beings are the owners of the business, as well as all received retribution" and "I am the Buddha succeeded, being the Buddha will come ".

  

 

I. Meaning

Understand according to the minister, Buddhism is the path, the practice methods to bring people to the purpose of enlightenment and liberation. Means enlightenment to ignorance, meant liberation for bondage. Beings ignorance, accept the body and mind is true, should approve the measures are actually attached to the sense; thereby disturbing bondage, karma and wander in samsara six lines. People age when body and mind enlightenment are charming scenes of bogus and he still lives still do a lot of benefit for life, but quite confidently. Thus, thanks to enlightened liberation - liberation from negativity and finally, from reincarnation. Buddhism is like a leading light for those who are lost in the jungle of ignorance, or as boats take people through the sea of ​​suffering, to the peaceful shores.

Understood in nature than, Buddhism is available fully enlightened awareness in every being. Enlightened awareness that can not bear not destroy in just five aggregates being destroyed. Buddhas have realized and living with enlightened awareness foot, being enlightened awareness but also afflicted greed obscures, as gold in ore, as waves sank afloat. Stillness of the sea can always existed in general wave fluctuations. Because winds churn up the sea surface, and when the wind died down, the waves returned to the immense sea. Likewise, beings are in the nature of sea-foot projection as president, because the wind blows now that spawned five aggregates themselves, which continue to create business and life itself does not last forever. Moreover, the nature beings forget that every tri mistaken his mind is illusory, as recipient water wave forgetting. Want to return home, but must immediately place received wave; want to return often enlightened awareness foot, right from the body and mind are impermanent. Ignorant minds of ordinary very close to the center of the Bodhi Enlightened, only separated from a concept to miss only.

Beings forget forever chasing enlightened awareness for sexual discrimination formula, follow crazy delusions. For example, the lake has large waves, moonlight not evident in the country; but when the wind is calm, quiet water, the moon will appear bright. We train is calming wind distinguish concepts. Most Buddhist mindfulness to consciousness disorders, meditation, silence and a state often heard, and the practitioner realizes nirvana equivalent of nature right in - now and here.

As we can see, Buddhism had no expression or advocating theocratic forms of superstition. Buddha is the Master Teacher guided away, not bring the evil god bless. Sentient beings have a choice as to their direction, or to follow the Buddha, will be freed as his peace, or turned the other way, it has the right to create and order now received the corresponding retribution. Main Buddhism has given all beings freedom and absolute equality rights when the cardinal repeatedly declares: "Beings are the owners of the business, as well as all received retribution" and "I am the Buddha succeeded, being the Buddha will come ".

II. Theory

Buddhist teachings including the Tripitaka (Business-Law-thesis), is both a vast legacy. Beijing is the teachings of Lord Buddha preached or by his followers to be His theoretical propaganda and sealed. Law prohibits gender are devised by the Buddha to stop evil end, developing good karma. Period Buddha in the world not only literate tradition, should gradually be impossible without the false. To date some later dogma posed by the apocryphal but his teachings; or vice versa, have advocated a classic mistake that is not due Mahayana Buddha preached. This confused many Buddhists do not know what to believe, even fall into superstition wrong. Thus, Buddhism has a legal measure to delineate what is true dharma. The measure was called the French press.

"Indian" is literally stamp, user authentication king's authority. "French press" is the seal of the Buddha, where is used to validate the teachings of the Buddha uttered. With the emergence of intellectual wealth, the Buddha had discovered absolute truth dominates the cosmos and the annihilation method negativity, escape samsara. Throughout life morality of birth, His disciples were instructed to follow this spirit. And so, if there is a theory that does not bear such meaning, it is not the teaching of the Buddha.

French press three classifications:

- Justice publications.

- Three legal publications.

- First press law.

* Justice publications

1. Impermanence: All animals, from charming to accidentally, from the great to the entire universe as tiny as these cells are changed in every moment. People often follow the process very birth, aging, sickness and death, the French have destroyed minus born, the universe has a septic office no.

2. Suffering: So should not an ephemeral beings be free from suffering, including the suffering of samsara, the First. More specifically, the Buddha clearly about eight kinds of suffering: birth - Aging - Disease - Death - May unfulfilled - Loving separation from all - hatred that encounter - warm year illustrious body.

3. No: The French were predestined by gathering which formed, without any legal existence itself. Because of so conditioned by his existence is only temporary, unreal, really the essence of the law is not. "No" is the nature both things, the phenomenon is counterfeit.

4. Anatta: Because of so causally heterogeneous and do not have an independent entity. Legal entities are impermanent, not fixed. No sovereign, heterogeneous and not fixed so the measures are self.

* Three legal publications

1. Chu practice impermanence: Already mentioned above.

2. Chu selfless approach: Impermanence and Anatta are two methods of custom printing substrate, the truth dominates all things and beings phenomenon in all three realms.

3. Nirvana first President: France third seal belongs Brackets, is the truth of the Earth. Two characteristics of Nirvana is pure and often tri, ie quiet but well known constants. Nirvana is not a realm outside, can reach up to die just, that is the essence duty tri president's own responsibility. When recognized and osmotic selfless truth of impermanence of all legal, religious people escape the sufferings, turned himself enlightened, return Nirvana president from the center.

* The most pressing legal

When notice of the spiritual level Disciples were able to grasp the ultimate truth, He preached on foot as the First Center, centrally directed imperialism First, specify the true human constant in all beings. People genuinely did not have the shape should not kill, no name should be placed so many names: Legs like, Buddha nature, Dharmakaya, The ... Back face even human lives are genuine items final destination of the people, and also skeptical of where the Buddhas as manifested life.

As we have seen, there is no teaching of the Buddha refers to the Star-term disarmament, considered direction, as hexagram, and the ritual forms of folk beliefs. On the other hand, Buddhist teaching is not a philosophy background. Philosophy of Being located within the Hotel Bar, wisdom gained through learning gleaned from outside, from other people. In contrast, Buddhism was taught by masters of an enlightened mind, that wisdom arises in meditation, when the mind is completely absent any upset thoughts distinction. Buddha did not say what he speculation, saying only that he has the knowledge evident by legal entities and Buddha label. This is why the Buddhist teachings are eternal truths do not change, the super Vietnamese truth both space and time.

III. Practice

Theory as bright eyes, practice as healthy feet. Want to place to place, he must have eyes to see the way light and strong legs to move forward. Eye and foot are the two main conditions, and an indispensable prerequisite for the pilgrims.

Buddhists are a spiritual practitioner, want to return home forever should apply the doctrine in practice. Practice is metabolized three mouth industry standard body, metabolic self interest. Depending on the base, qualifications and preferences, each person chose a suitable method. Buddha is the Great Herbalist, have to eighty-four thousand teachings of eighty-four thousand of employee negativity ceiling. We as patients, were diagnosed for cars, right medicine exactly as advised in the new prescription hope cure afflictions.

A previous bottle containing poison, if you want to use it contains honey, we must first empty out poison, rinse thoroughly several times. The mind, too, the three poisons of greed, hatred and delusion have decorations set how many past generations. If you want to taste the nectar containing liberation, we must first cleanse negativity ignorance. Calculated from three now, gradually stopped Cleaning Industry and Industry. No news now vital engine stopped, the chain of reincarnation severed.

The method according to Buddhist practice is divided into five ministers, ministers and Nhat Tam Buddhist legacy.

* Five Buddhist legacy

1. The legacy: A Buddhist refuge, keeping the five precepts. Hereafter, he returned to the body with all the very best.

2. Heavenly legacy: Tu ten virtuous, flee from ten evil deeds, born of heaven Sexual exploitation instructions.

3. Sravaka: Tu Four Noble Truths, stock fruition Sravaka (Tu momentum completely, from the skin function, anagami, Arhat)

4. Pratyekabuddha admitted: Tu Dependent Origination, consistent theory of Evolution, conditions and enlightened nature of the cosmos. Stock Pratyekabuddha fruition.

5. Bodhisattvas admit: from then Van Hanh. He practices self degrees tha, reaching finality Most admit Buddhist.

* Three Buddhist legacy

Just tell Sravaka Pratyekabuddhas and Bodhisattvas admit.

* Most admit Buddhism

Lotus Sutra an example of "best three provisions Society", which provided for Nhat Tam excess surplus. The children always play in the fire, not knowing every moment was a life-threatening fire. The father wants the child out of the fire quickly, should establish media presentation, promised for the three vehicles. If someone out of the house, will be using the vehicles that, despite the delight roam. When the children were safe, new dad tells the truth that, no three vehicles that only the white buffalo cart. Three vehicles such as the Three ministers (Sravaka Pratyekabuddhas, Bodhisattva), white buffalo is Buddhayana car. The fruition of Tam admitted just turned up, so we disciples have carried direct basis and not feel tire of faraway exquisite path. Really the only just result is Buddhahood, the storage facility, the Supreme Enlightenment, as well as self-centered Nirvana right here and now!

IV. Mission spread

After enlightenment under the root All-bowl-la, the Buddha attained Nirvana on, because what he saw was evidence are incredibly difficult to understand; if people hear suspect defamatory mentality, will inadvertently create a felony. But by the gods three urgent appeal phen turning of the wheel, so Buddha had used means, as grace and edification. The mission of spreading the Buddha while still on earth is divided into five periods. Bringing down the level of disciple you from low to high. Excluding the first 21 days of the Flower Adornment theory for the Bodhisattva, 4 times of the Buddha preaching include (*):

1. A-Ham Buddhist economic theory:  In 12 years, teaches all the means of suicide themselves.

2. The Local Level:  Phase transitions from Theravada to Mahayana, has spared himself a moderate level. Buddhist theory in 8 years.

3. Economic Bat Nha:  In this period, the longest, 22 years, the Buddha taught the emptiness of the universe kind, the General Signless It's all legal.

4. Lotus Sutra, Nirvana:  In his last 8 years, the Buddha saw radical Disciples of mature, can undertake large as "upper bridge Buddha, gave them birth" should opine Management ultimate sense, from Tam Nhat excess of excess, from chemistry to bring the storage facility. To sow the firm belief for the congregation, he prophesies for the disciples, not counting the wise or foolish, male or female, gentle good or evil, even to those who created the five grave offenses as Cartesian Ba-Pass multipole or young animals like Long female, are also capable of becoming a Buddha. Just as the Bodhisattva Often Real Contempt: "I dare not despise the people, because the people will become Buddhas!".

We today, there are large met karmic Dharma, learn to understand and practice the results, should actively propagate the teachings of Buddha to benefit others also, to Buddhism forever long. Depending ability to practice and circumstances we live, we can by itself import or religious teachers, contributing to good religious. However, spreading the spirit of the contract need to contract muscles or immutable reason as grace. Deed is consistent with immutable truth of the human universe, contract muscles are fit and frugal era where disposal facilities, so that anyone can instill and cultivate advance. The propagation of Buddhism, always flexible but never say the wrong truth. Whereas, if the right to the truth that is not suitable for the audience it is difficult to convince, hard put Dharma penetrates the hearts of people, it's hard to help litigants practice results. For example, people often live with oriental interior, slow pace of life so often prefer the profound teachings, have basic or sequentially from low to high. Other Westerners, accustomed to the rhythm hustle, desire quick results should be appropriate to the methods to reduce stress or help peace within one lifetime. The beginner often not understand the doctrine of sin preferred listening blessed, cause and effect, karma ... who have a higher level of research to fully agree on the topics of Impermanence, No-self, Duyen born ... In particular, for medium profound Buddhist teachings had elaborately intensive practice, this is fertile ground for sowing heart outflow seed, who can assume responsibility advantages tha, self awareness excuse.

Boats or torchlight is savior for those drowning or being lost in the jungle about dark. But if on a boat with no paddle, with leading light but do not go, they know never escape? Profound Buddhist teachings of magic, all life is hard to find, we were listening and understood dharma is rare. Following deep affinity thick, the more we should strive to practice, depending on the circumstances coast. How many waves obstacles in life, endured patiently enduring peace and overcome, because we have direction, there is a higher purpose of personal transformation, building happy families and contributing to social improvement foul.
