PRICE INCREASE WHEN THE BUDDHA.
Chapter one
Scene
India is one of the areas with the background of civilization 's oldest history of mankind . That is the foundation of civilization in the upper Indus (Indus), down both upstream river gange ( Ganges ). In a time long, at least from the years 4000 to 1000 BC, it was the focus of the settlers as Mundian identity, Samerian ...., and the most numerous, prominent especially people Dravidian. May say the center and soul of the civilized relatively pure and stock the most Indo India were concentrated in Punjab ( Ngu Ha ) Upper Indus said above. This is an agricultural civilization , in the Bronze Age. Archaeological excavations have confirmed that there is a large city built about two or three thousand years ago.
To the thirteenth century BC, an Aryan nhunganh from Caucasia region, between Li Hai and Black Sea (under Amenia, Union of Soviet (former) adjacent gender Continental Europe and Turkey, came down pass mountains Hindu- Kush but in northwest India , to the Punjab region. here they met resistance intense and quite persistent people Dravidian. But Aryan capital as people nomadic , very warlike, defeated peoples indigenous . The Dravidians partly moved south and southeast, either purebred or mixed with some other ethnic minorities, forming small states, while others remained in the Punjab, living and under the Aryan rule . .
Punjab is a land perhaps convenient , climate not too demanding; Wide valleys have been cleared for cultivation; Big city, organized ; Air-conditioned living standards, including agriculture, cottage industries and businesses preliminary , represent a foundation of civilization , culture steadiness . Thus a nomadic tribe of hunters familiar with swords and swords, the Aryan bows, stopped here and imposed their rule on the natives. But the governed is the one who has the background civilization is higher, so the ruler although considered itself a high-class, have the right to impose, rule, government organizations. Re-tinted the thought of his ruler. Two background culture fused together , countries can progress , expansion of industrial, agricultural, commercial and development techniques. Civilization changed to the Iron Age. Thought , religious rich , more diverse.
The sutras Vedas (Phệ-momentum), especially as the Rig-Veda (Vedic verse-examination) of the Aryans formed when the Punjab government was completelyout of the hands of the Aryans. Ideological core of the Beijing course tinged with the color of the Aryan, the lake as from time immemorial, in the Caucasia or in somewhere from before, or from the station stop, after passing through many forests, sa Desert wilderness and vast prairie, under sunshine fierce , under flood, storm and storms, ice cold, or the firelight flickering night recording ... a universe splendid voice full of authority but had contact intimately with people, something great, harder expandable described , praised how much is not enough, that is Brahman. Space agencies are coming together closer, specifically over the silhouette of god through soil, stems, stolons of Dravidian people, the civilized agriculture ancient.
The Brahman thought and perhaps a large number of poetry that had existed fora long time now, around 1200 BC to 1000 BC, have been portrayed , arranged, further created , into rich chants. , Beautiful . For more than two hundred years, 1017 songs were sung , followed by the addition of 11 songs arranged; To be fair , some have been around for a long time and some have been added a long time later. Other Vedas such as the Samma-Vedas, Yajur-Vedas and Athar-Veda, later known as the Vedas, Was formed then maybe for centuries.
After several centuries of fighting, oppression , struggle, mixing, storage .... goods, the Punjab has become the national prosperity, background civilization quite brilliant and it is often referred to as the Middle National or Central (Medhyadesa). The country here under the system civilized urban , increasingly prosperous. Kuruksetna, Pancàla, Matsya, Yuracena ... This is the tenth century BC. Central Civilization began overflowing south and southeast, down the river gange ( Hang Ha ), in the footsteps of the exodus, mainly of the Aryans; sometimes may be the galloping horse, but mostly by friends , by the exchange of trade, by the spread of religious , ideological , academic ... The country south and southeast , Initially considered semi- wild or wild, sought to rise when living with people in the North. The country has also learned Central through once engaged war according to personality vassals are the national central call to ask for help, or to find north trafficking,
Civilized culture in the countries of the Central has developed brilliantly , the result of a blend of the two background civilized Dravidian and Aryan through organized system of thought Vedas, but to the seventh century, VI BC The calendar seems to pause. Brahmin teachers take Vedas as fundamental , has set up an orderly strict four class: Brahmin (Brahmana - penetration), Sat-insole-profit (Shastriya - royalty, soldiers Vaisya - the peasant, the peasant and the peasant - and Sudra - the slave , the low-level laborer. Four class on but to divide closely on the implementation of religion but clearly have influence to all areas , aspects: economic, political, social ... especially at a time when the sense of investment Ideally , religion is highly developed. Right leadership spirit , especially in the practice of religion , ritual is the privilege of caste Brahmin; Next is the leadership , direction , The national administration of the Satipatthana class is a driving force for national development at the outset and mobilizes all activities in the national development process . The division of class like that, of course, have prevented the growth rate of the majority of workers are two class Pi-amnesty-majority and Prime-da-la which is considered inferior than even-class final The Dalai Lama is almost stripped of all rights . Since then, gradually formed the idea of discontent struggle and in the long run, the social re- organization must of course be implemented . Of course, it has prevented the rise of the labor force of the two levels of Vinaya and the Dalai Lama, which is considered inferior , even the last rank of the Dalai Lama. All rights reserved . Since then, gradually formed the idea of discontent struggle and in the long run, the social re- organization must of course be implemented . Of course, it has prevented the rise of the labor force of the two levels of Vinaya and the Dalai Lama, which is considered inferior , even the last rank of the Dalai Lama. All rights reserved . Since then, gradually formed the idea of discontent struggle and in the long run, the social re- organization must of course be implemented .
Organize society according to system Brahmin, so intellectual , so skilled leadership , due to power , has stable life , improve production, creating a long step, a new turning point in history The history of India . But when the nation grew manhung, infrastructure development was high, the superstructure were signs not afford the role of his beginnings as an obstacle to growth of our nation. It can be said that the vitality of the country is now almost depleted . Sacrifices, rites of religion , and the dependence of the spirit and of living everyday people into Brahmin teachers too much. All of the city, monotonous, boring. By now the country wants to progress further, to receive a thought leader , or was time Brahmin teachers want to continue to assume the role leadership , to change into a system of new. Monotonous, boring By now the country wants to progress further, to receive a thought leader , or was time Brahmin teachers want to continue to assume the role leadership , to change into a system of new. Monotonous, boring By now the country wants to progress further, to receive a thought leader , or was time Brahmin teachers want to continue to assume the role leadership , to change into a system of new.
The countries south and Southeast developing sense of freedom is to flourish, the spirit of pragmatism has imbued accordance with the conversion to civilized iron parallel to the technical development, the industrial and commercial industry. All create a new atmosphere , more human nature .
The Vedas from where protest let this shadow of the level clairvoyance (RSI-Risi), praise god supreme , hailed a Brahman the universe wide full power of Brahman, then gave Brahman close to the child More people in the form of prayers , sacrifices. But once the civilization is high, the thought has grown exponentially, the patterns of the upper body, though dragged down in the way of life through the world , the ritual .... are still far away. with,
Changes first Brahmin teacher is explaining the Vedas in many different ways by each sect Vedanga. Then focus special highlight , mark a step forward, a new character was born out of the Vedas is thought Upanisads ( Upanishads ). The doctrine was included in 108 (?) Books, especially the thirteen sets are often reminded: Isavgasya, Kena, Katha, Chandoya, Brakadananyaka, Kansitaki, Maitrayaniya, Prasna, Mundaka, Tattririya, Mandakya, Aitareya and Svetasvatara. More than half of the thirteen sets were formed before Buddha's time (700 BC to 550 BC). Doctrine aims to explain , implement the Vedas under the spirit of the new, specific , deeper, more precise. Cai Xiao fall (Atman) is exploring , is deepening . God Brahman is full in Atman, the Great Self consists of the Self . The meaning of the word Upanisad is sitting near, listening, sitting at the feet of the Master. Termites contact of individuals , of what I do with the supernatural became intimate over. Elementary down (Atman) means the body , the breath, Being , being self, soul . The Upanisad doctrine attempts to advocate the Ngai, illustrating the pathway for the Self -identity to coincide with the Great Self , the universe .
From here, the idea of escaping the old mold grew and grew. Parallel to the economic context and social , ideological philosophy refuses limited to those that govern the system Vedas, whether color Vedas moved through Upanisads. The sect clerk appeared and dragged under each dispatched a large number of followers , disciples , creating an air of philosophical jubilantly of an era new. This sect, which may be said anti-Vedic thought . Basically ,
- Purana Kassapa ( Phu-lan-na Ca-lettuce ), according to the neo-skepticism.- Makkhali Gosala ( Mat-old Chile sentence-amnesty-la ), in neocourse of speech, belief in liberation inevitable, ultimate of man.- Ajita Kesakambali (A-period-told-sa-admiration-she-la), according to the neo- materialist pure and neo Pleasure extremists .- Pukudha Kaccayana (Caudy-Ca-chien-dien), advocates Mind constant , eternal .- Sanjaya Bellathiputta (Tan-Pi-la-da anonymously Guinea-e), undertakings under Inspiration , intuition , depending the time .- Nigantha Nataputta (Ni-devout-from-all-mail), or Mahavira (Ma-ha-vi-da), cardinals Jain, advocate ascetic , there is reincarnation , karma . The doctrine is very prestigious , with some similarities to Buddhism .
Actually , in that context, there are many theories more. Five law section stating that time king Tan-Pi-sa-la is open feast Ca-up represents the sect includes ninety six . These schools of thought and religions new Such pervasive and dominant influence of Brahmin teacher.
The nation rising in the south and southeast of the Central course is still under the influence of Brahmin teachers but not too heavy, so far from the Central, for the people here at thoroughbred and because Some other reasons mentioned. These are the plots of land for the cultivation and development of these doctrines . Magadha was the central activity of the Clerk . The two sages that the Buddha to ask direction when ordained as Alara Kalama (sect Samkhya - Number argument ) and Uddaka Ramaputta (sect Yoga - Sit-old) are the two leaders of two recluses group known in Magadha (Ma And vesali (Vaisali). Three brothers Elder Kassapa (Ca-lettuce) of recluses Latilika delegation, dispatched Nigradha ( Pham Ni-question-burners) recorded in A-levels, a convent near Rajagaha ( Rajgir ) of Magadha (ma- ... Generally from Kapilavatthu to Savatthi to Kasina, Vesali, Rajagaha, Baranàsi (to Kashmir) Balajar) are large cities ,
Among the countries new rise, Kosala (Question-slap-la) and Magadha are the two countries most powerful. Magadha own country are rapidly reaching capacity, adjacent territory in downstream river gange ( Hang Ha ), close to the sea east, west spread to river Sona (Thiem-three) and south mountain Pundra (Tan- that is). Magadha are disputes affecting the Kassala during the Buddha and Buddha coming to death shall have paid some small country and overwhelmed by Kosala, starting the system best India India in two hundred years later.
Within five hundred years, from the tenth century BCE returned later, ideological society India has passed the collision struggle, conflict , synthesis, division ... over the period when the silently, sometimes massively , sometimes spread out width, rise height, depth ... subsided, creating a context of diversity, rich with the issue confusing, most presentable . This is the natural result of a living body, very real, very dialectic is human , as human beings in a society, in a community of the society , is human . These changes , restlessness, preoccupation of philosophy , religion school continues unceasingly has proved life spirit , and since then, life material , there are obstacles, while not perfect , still suffering. The truth is still vibrant, full, common in this reality ; The thing, the "person" who does not grasp the whole, sometimes only feel for a minute , or longer, but not enough to call the experience, Assembly , evidence. Again, the method of experiencing truth , the expression in language - whether through communication or reflection - is still a problem .
Take particular India at that time, in addition to the gods full of power is acceptable according to traditional beliefs , no one person really, human history , greatness that close to people , people sense realization of truth capable of resetting the problem to solve and then solve the troubles of thinking time. He is not the creator , not the monopolist who keeps the truth , does not bring anything new to reality , Do not put more thought , doctrine . He only tolerated , tolerated, harmony . He starts with reality , implementation and achievements of reality in a very real job is to help alleviate suffering , deliverance for the people .
He is the Buddha .
He was a prince , named Siddhattha (All-reaching radar), family Gotama (Gotama), United Ethnic Sakya (Sakyamuni, caste Shatiya (Sat-so-good), daughter of King Suddhodana ( Pure Sanskrit ) and queen Mayadevi (Ma-part). He was born in 544 BC in Lumbini (Lumbini), east of Kapilavatthu (Ca-Pi-la-defense), water Kapilavatthu.
It should be determined through preliminary positions of some cities , countries, places each print footprints Buddha and the monks disciple of Him.
Kapilavatthu is a small country, now Tilaura Kot, in Nepal, bordering on India . A hundred kilometers to the west is the Sàvatthi of Kosala, now known as Sàhet Mahet on the right bank of the Rapti River. Two hundred kilometers south of Kapilavatthu is Kusinagara (Kasi-ka-na) of Kasia, in the present day Utta Pradesh, two hundred kilometers east of Vesali. Vazsa (Vam-di), now Besarr on the Gandaki River. Still swept East and turn to south, crossing GANGE river, about two hundred kilometers from Vesali is a Rajagaha ( Rajgir ), the capital of Magadha (Ma-out-momentum), now in the land of Bihar. In the south of Rājagaha, a few dozen kilometers are Gaya, now Boddhigaya, where the Buddha attainedenlightenment . Right there, to the south is the forest, Where the Buddha six years ascetic . About three hundred kilometers west of Gaya, slightly to the north is the Baranàsi (Bal-ary), a city just off the bank of the Gange. A few hundred kilometers south of the Gange River, Kosambi is located in Vamsa, now Kosam, in the south of Allahābād.
These distances are calculated according to the flight path, only relative numbers ; By the way today, especially at that time, of course, it must be much different, the actual number could be twice as long or more.
According to Sutra , Digha (and lots of other Nikaya), Prince Siddhattha at birth has thirty-two general good and eighty beauty, signs of rank cdg or position Dharmaraja future. Seven days after the birth of Crown Prince , queen Missey died. The prince grew up, trained for all his studies, to the ability to reason , reason, think, he was outstanding . When he grew up, he had thoughts of wanting to escape , directing; King knows, Use every luxury material to force his feet. According to his father's command, he married Yasodhara (Yasodharā), a princess and talented , virtuous of Kosala neighbors. Five twenty-nine, the Prince had a son Rahula (Rāhula). See the symbol of suffering (aging, illness, death) and reinforced by spontaneity of a monk, after much reflection, anxiety, restlessness about suffering, about the sufferings , liberation , Prince decided to secretly leave the palace , renounce all what life called happiness on earth, Go out looking big. Late in the night, he emerged from a straight line to the far reaches of Kapilavatthu. Where he retired from Chandaka (Tele-anonymously), servant loyal , and Kanthaka (Kien-monitoring), his horse. He changed the king, dressed monk , a single line on the way. He went south-east, crossed the hills and villages to Vesali to learn the Allaah Kālama, the Samkhya leader, and then attained the highest rank he had achieved. This is achieved by importing Indigenous Identity . Not satisfied with this result, Crown Prince swept east, turn south, crossed the river gange, to Magadha, approached the capital Rajagaha ( Rajgir ), where the focus of culture , ideology , religion learned of the clan famous for studying the Taoist Uddaka Ramaputta (Uu- The leader of yoga, and also soon he attained the highest position of this is to enter the non-ideal non-ideal . This is the highest result that contemporary people achieve . With great wisdom , the prince , or rather, Bodhisattva that the fruits of this great still obstacles karma , truth yet to be experienced fully . He entered to observe the same all over, found no one in the world can teach him any more, so decided to leave himself Uddaka Ramaputta to find places to practice , perform rescue .
His followers also have five disciples of Uddaka Anna Kodanna ( A-elegant Kieu-ceiling-like ), Assaji (ace-pedestal or Ma Win or Notes Thi ), Dasabala Kassapa ( hexadecimal Ca-lettuce) and Bhadaka (Bat- The Bodhisattva and the five Sa Monks travel south, to the Uruvela, called Gaya, over another ten kilometers to a deep forest mountain range ; Close by, the West is the Niranjara line. He and five companions chose this place for ascetics .
For six years, the Bodhisattva endured hunger , cold ..., body emaciated just skin and bones . He attempts to meditate on, seek overcoming heart , determination mortification , ordered breathing , even trying to stop breathing to expect liberation spirituality . Fatigue , pain , feelings of insecurity still show . He recalled the experience before, despite being at permanent meditation , He was very comfortable , serene , gentle (when he was seven felt when his father made the launching ceremony filled ); That is the opposite now! He realized that he was not on the right track, had leaned towards an extreme . He decided to eat again for full enough healthy, quit the practice properly. Five monks fellow team venerable Kodanna, said he was discouraged , to leave him and go to the West to Baranasi is approximately three hundred kilometers, of Kasiraja, waterfront GANGE to continue practicing . Gentle (felt at the time when he was seven, when the king made the ceremony of lowering ); That is the opposite now! He realized that he was not on the right track, had leaned towards an extreme .

Bodhisatta is now alone in the forest, alone, but serene , sure that he will become director . He took a bath in the Niranjaga River and headed north to return to Gaya, Uruvela, not far from the main road, village, but a quiet, green forest, the Bodhisattva used the porridge of the village of Sujāta ( Eighteen bundles of grass cut by the lawnmower Svastika ( Kiet Tuong ) to spread as a seat, on a flat stone plate, under an old tree (later called the Bodhi tree - Father). He vowed not to leave here when he was not attained . Except for the time of meditation strolling around here,
From now Shakyamuni had become Career Enlightenment greatest, worthy of ten titles : Tathagata , Arhat , Chief Variable Tri , Minh Hanh Tuc , Auspicious , the World League , Supreme Master , Diaoyu Truong Phu , Thien Nhon Master , Buddha, Bhagavan .
Buddha has achieved truth supreme , has become truth . Truth is still expressed in the reality of the world but because of ignorance obscured , people can not enter the truth , life has to wander, writhing pain in life and death samsara . Buddha has abandoned everything to seek the truth , do ye not come to destroy but to ignorance , beyond life and death , the end of suffering pain are present in your life? Therefore,
Ministry Dai Pham (Maha Vagga) have written about thinking of the Buddha at the time:
"Why are we again brought preach to life what I have achieved with much effort? Truth Shall can be expressed for those full of lust , hatred and delusion, those who grossest difficult to achieve Truth, those who have a mind that is ignorant of being surrounded by worldly desires will not see the truth. "
But the work was also copied to:
"As in a lotus pond, in the midst of the lotus blossoms, the white lotus, born in water, rises toward the sunlight - crosses to the water. water to wet the flowers. Also , when the ranks of Enlightenment look at the world , he saw many people with eye position just obscured by thick dust, he saw many people place cranberries and many others Many people are difficult to teach, many are easy to teach , and many people live in fear , thinking of death, mistakes . " When you see that,
So the Buddha returned to earth to uncover the truth , teach the people see, understand about to enter (publicity, marketing, realization, import).
This decision was made right where he was directed . Two merchants with goods convoys going north, past that place, see physiognomy majestic beauty , gentleness of Buddha , has joyful interest , donations , pay homage to him. The Buddha taught the dharma , both sincerely seek refuge . The two then called Bhallika (Bat-crystal-ca) and Trapusha (De-pear-rich-she), is considered to be the two disciples at home first of the Buddha so. Contents of the teaching of the Buddha to the two householders officer on not recorded, but surely these are words of comfort , words of celestial importance of moral , ethical , about the treatment that normally, consistent with The basis of an ordinary person that any sage can preach ; what causes trust to the two he would be due to envision , physiognomy of Career Enlightenment . So we do not see this as the opening of a philosophical opportunity,
The Buddha is a living person who has reflected , learned , practiced and attained Dharma. He is the result of a process of a living organic body, organic body that is life , is people have thought , have operated in a time long since time without beginning. French supremacy which he attained , as mentioned above, is the method usually constant, ultimate , absolute , still present in every aspect of life. There are things that reflect the truth that people do not grasp, or just catch the sporadic odd , or incorrect interpretation of it. He is the highest monk, the most noble results and decided to bring the supreme Dharma to open up, save suffering for beings . Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, the throne Jewels , fully in his capital, human His Jewels . He is the highest monk, the most noble results and decided to bring the supreme Dharma to open up, save suffering for beings . Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, the throne Jewels , fully in his capital, human His Jewels . He is the highest monk, the most noble results and decided to bring the supreme Dharma to open up, save suffering for beings . Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, the throne Jewels , fully in his capital, human His Jewels .
Buddha greatness that is not His creation of new ones, but that he knows what chemicals, systems , modify , supplement finishing all the ideological philosophy had, or say rather, he knows The method , the content of the truth that he enlightened , reflects the Dharma he experienced , attained , refocused, and himself is the Dharma. "This is not it because I am enlightened ? Why do not we worship and take it as a refuge?" ( Comp. , Acupuncture, 44).
The Bible continues:
"After the Buddha 's enlightenment and thinking of Dharma, Brahma appeared and said:" The Buddhas in the present , the future are the ones who cut off suffering for sentient beings . They respect the Fa, because it is the Dharma of the Buddhas in the past , present and future. Therefore, the saintly seek to find the true must follow the teachings of the Buddha, respect theFa.
Main France is Buddha, is representative of the Buddha, or vice versa , too , so the Buddha taught:
So, this A-nan, self-torch light up, take refuge yourself, refuse to rely on someone else, rely on the Dharma , do not point to other places (Dìgha Nikaya II). ; school A-levels, Business Travel ).
So after the Buddha passed away , the Brahmin Maggallana and Vassakara asked the successor of the Buddha, Phra Ananda replied:
"No one can now rely on all to succeed the Buddha, we are the ones who lost a father, just rely on the Fa, rely on the Sangha, united with the Sangha" (Moggallana 11, Siddhartha-inter-related).
Because the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha is one, so although absent Buddha, one can rely on the Dharma and the Sangha-old. The problem is that the Sangha of the Congregation , the Buddhist Church must do to take on that great function .
Sangha, in principle, is a unified body, manifested just like the Dharma , like the Buddha, the Dharma, the Buddha. That is the content that will be developed next.END=NAM MO CAKYA MOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.17/4/2017.
