Buddha taught who sincerely seek refuge in Buddha, Dharma and Sangha will fall into the three evil paths from hell, hungry ghosts, animals and the wrong place brutality. Qualities whenever refuge ceremony, Buddhists are allowed Tam Duty counsel provided communications, Five Precepts and other basic things. But how in a time that listeners can receive and remember all the things that guru said. It needs to be heard, to speak, or read it many times before can not forget. Whereas in everyday life, the majority of Buddhists must roll much, so hard on counties livelihood, not free time to learn all the things you need to learn, to do it right as a Buddhists. So here we compiled this booklet called The basics for the new Buddhists refuge to help with a basic understanding of possible guidance practitioners step forward, not go wrong with the aim of Knife. We hope this booklet is disseminated in all walks of laypeople. So ask you to spread the Buddhists to take place so that they do not have to be learned and practiced. That is a common interest that we always wanted. May the ecstatic scenes being Western Nine lotus is the parent Buddha saw flowers blooming, stock unborn Bodhisattva any rotten as you travel. I. MARKET PROFILE PURPOSE OF THE BUDDHA Buddha appears in this world not because of, for the sake, nor to sit on the throne that ruled the galaxy four continents. But with the aim of making beings are freed within rebirth suffering, awaken. In the Lotus Sutra says: "Tathagata appeared in this world with the aim of making beings publicity, marketing, enlightenment, Buddha imported knowledge". But because of high and low being frugal disagree, therefore, his teachings divided into various frustrating and basically initially provided Three, Five Precepts: Secretarial lap three provisions to create credit, create a virtuous precepts nice; from which progresses to step Path leading to liberation nirvana. II. PROFILE OF URBAN LIFE OF THE BUDDHA German cardinal Buddhist professor faith we are Sakyamuni Buddha Conflict-ni. In countless lifetimes ago, he was a being like us. But he was soon enlightened beings suffering, so he became a Buddha. In this present life, because he wanted to save sentient beings from the suffering of birth, so, way more than two thousand five hundred years (624 BC to the year), he has come being made off triggers named crown prince multi-child reaches the king and Queen Ma Ca-Pi-skin water-la-defense in North India. When he was Crown Prince, His intelligent enlightenment peak, than the intellect; hospitality, full merit. He is to be father and everyone loved and give everything in my life happy. But that's not the purpose of export to enjoy the physical pleasure. So, he had to abandon the glory and wealth of royal life, beyond the city, in quest of enlightenment enlightenment. Through six years of ascetic practice enough practice, after all, with 49 days of meditation under the Bodhi, he had discovered and become a Buddha.
