Offering the Triple Jewels.

 

WE TAM BAO.

I.- OPEN

Seeing a good person do the right thing, praising oneself in words, or contributing part of the work, helping to achieve part of the good work. It is true that this person has a good heart worth loving. In addition, the Three Jewels are the bridge to bring beings from the pier through the glass, the Three Jewels is the boat to save beings are submerged in the suffering to the shore of Nirvana, Three Jewels are the light illuminate the way for beings Get lost in the dark forest of ignorance.

Advocate advocates support to fill up the Three Jewels are often in the world, the merit of countless. Because the Three Jewels are still in the world, we make offerings, which is a self-sufficient gain.

II.- DEFINITIONS

The offering is to keep the Three Jewels constant in life. All the protection that keeps the Three Jewels together is called donation. The Three Jewels are the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. Buddha was past, only the image. French derived from Sanskrit to Han characters are also available in the temple pagoda. Monks are monks who follow the Buddhist teachings. It is these people have the duty to preserve the Buddha image also, the interpretation of the Dharma. Three Jewels are respectful, but the most important is the Sang. If there is no Sangha who preserves the temple, who teach the Dharma? Therefore, the offerings of the Three Jewels are generally, but the importance of the Sangha. They also increase the Tam Bao, Increase them lost, Tam Bao is also absent. So all the offerings are heavy on the Sang, with the purpose of Tam Bao in the human.

III.- WE WELL LIKE

Yet there are those who devote the deviant way lost all meaning offerings. As a Buddhist went to the abbot to the abbot to pray five years, then heard "asked what", Buddhists bewildered. Master Abbot asked more "pray for peace or supper," Buddhists squeeze the thought of "super", and then a long name in the super bowl. Such a Buddhist, so are the other Buddhists. It has become the custom, the pagoda is a must for supper or security. Bridge for supper for myself, for my family, for myself, the worship is because of me. Because I go to the temple, because I worship the true temple is selfish greed. If you bring a selfish devotion to the Tao, not worth a Buddhist. Who is this spoiled? It was the instructor who indicated the wrong way.

To the teacher, because the Buddhist bridge to safety should have money. After a period of prayer, this money, he considered himself to be free from all fear. If a prayer ceremony is paid for by the Buddhists, then he will spend the extra money, because of his own due to the prayers. Then the spiritual life of enlightenment liberation, accidentally become chanting people. The exhaustion of the need to exhaust, the discharge of the bridge, turned into beneficiaries. Contrary to the goal of monasticism, become a villain, because of illegal money. Prayer is a minor dependency in Buddhism, because it is not truth. However, people hyped it up, so that the life of cultivators almost eighty percent (8O%) Buddha is in the prayers. Spreading a non-truth, the Dhamma must be decadent. The person responsible for leading the Buddhists, who advocates for the worship, is to bring them into the jungle of superstition, giving them selfish greed. It is the one who creates more sin, not the spiritual one.

IV. - THE RHYTHM

The righteous Buddhists, when they make offerings to the Three Jewels, are just hoping for the Three Jewels to remain in the world to bring beings out of misery. If you come to the pagoda, Buddhists worship ten years, monks and nuns ask what, Buddhists should say: "We only wish the monks and nuns receive this net dish to have the means to calm the practice, To propagate the Dharma benefits beings. "Just because the Three Jewels for the offerings, this is the noble generous generous selfless. How to make generous donations such good virtue limit how. Because the Three Jewels are still in the world to benefit beings, beings have themselves and their relatives. Forgetting just think of the whole being, not the benefit of the infinite immortality? With such a large altruism, though a small amount, An offering of offerings is also merit immeasurable merit. So say "Buddha use mind."

Monks, nuns who receive the true offerings of Buddhists, naturally find themselves have a great responsibility extremely. How can spiritual progress? How to spread Dhamma benefit beings? To deserve to receive the offerings of Buddhists, just effort to practice, try to learn to present and future benefits to beings. If the present, Sang, Ni, do not fulfill these two things, may have to wear horns to pay debts to credit. Knowing that, understand that, monks, nuns do not dare to loose in the practice of learning. Thus, thanks to the righteous offerings of Buddhists to promote the Sangha, Ni tried to do as much as possible in his own sacred ministry. Seeing that I am in debt, trying to pay back by trying to practice and birth, this is the goal of the Buddha to raise monks, nuns receive Buddhist offerings. Donate, Ni is a person who has the duty to guide the faithful to worship righteousness in accordance with the law, both teachers are noble and great benefits. We must be brave to break the wrong practices, not for the benefit, not because of sympathy, causing the Dharma to go into the dim darkness. We are the leader, not the follower of the believer, in order to earn more. Dared to leave home to cultivate, that is dare to take all the poor poverty, all the hardships hard, unreasonable because of the dress that goes against his centripetal escape.

However, saying this does not mean that we completely deny the prayer. We see clearly that prayer is only a little help, the object of prayer is only a tithe benefit, as in the sutras. We have acknowledged the "cause and effect of karma" as truth, prayer is the exception, the result is just a little. Cheer for the non-truth, so that the distraction of truth, is the contrary to the Dharma. Because of the filial piety of the Buddhists, it is forcing us to pray, when we pray we must warn: "This work is negligible, with little effect." The path of propagation of benefit beings. It is a matter of prayer, as we do not, because it takes time to cultivate the monks and nuns, which takes time to spread the Dharma.

V.- BENEFITS

Offering the Three Jewels to benefit the Buddhist mind. If for yourself and your body that offerings, blessings also follow the narrow mind. If the Three Jewels are still and benefit beings, merit will be in this widespread generosity. The true Buddhist is, ever, or anything for the benefit of all beings. Do not ever deviate from the ultimate goal. Buddhas are born because beings, propagate the Dharma as beings, we also pay the Buddhas for the salvation of sentient beings. That is the great mind of the Buddhist cult. Because the beings that offer the Three Jewels, indeed the Buddhist living right Dharma, the correct Dharma. Acting correctly the Dharma is the merit of the same with the Dharma, that is, eternal life is not lost. If Buddhist teaching blessed create merit, monks and nuns should teach this spirit.

VI.- CONCLUSION

We follow the Buddhist way is to go on the bright road, light enlightenment where the darkness delusion delusion there. Faith is a darkness, enlightenment is a light. Night shadows and two lights can not be simultaneous. If the light is not dark, or not dark at night. Enlightened is not superstitious, superstitious, there is no enlightenment. If we hold onto superstition we betray the path of enlightenment. In enlightened enlightenment there really is no superstition. Study and teach enlightenment, we resolutely clear all superstitious shadows. There is so called new people honest with the Dharma. By embracing nourishment superstition holds, even if he every day worship Buddha hundred times is still a sabotage dharma. It is better for us to die of starvation, determined not for the sake of doing superstitious things, leading people on the path of superstition. Recognized as a Buddhist, Decide not to be greedy for some people to take advantage of the path of superstition.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.2/5/2017.
