The Teachings of the Buddha.
| The Dharma is a system of philosophy and morality that teaches the only path leading to enlightenment, and thus is not a topic for study or study, or to satisfy knowledge. Dhamma must certainly be learned, but moreover, to be practiced, and above all, to be realized on its own. Learning without really practicing is not rewarding. The Buddha taught that people who do not have Dharma is like a flower ear splendid color, but not taste. Those who do not learn the Dhamma are blind. But students who do not work are like a library.

There are some hasty comments that Buddhism is a negative and passive religion. That baseless criticism is far from true. The Buddha was the first active missionary in human history. Over forty-five years, he went from place to place to spread the doctrine, the masses as well as the wise. Up to the last moment he served humanity with a good example of pure goodness and teaching. His great disciples also followed in his footsteps. Not a penny in their pockets, they go to foreign gods to spread the Dharma without ever seeking repentance. "Constant and persevering effort" is the ultimate training of the Buddha. There is no release, no purification can be made without personal effort. So, Buddhism does not advocate prayer but instead teaches meditation practice as a method of self-control, self-purification, and enlightenment. The two most striking features of Buddhism are meditation and service. In fact, all Buddhist countries have grown up in the Buddhist home and under the shadow of the Buddha. " Do not do evil, " not making yourself a crime for yourself and for others, is the first advice of the Buddha. The next instruction - " good deeds " - is to become a blessing, for ourselves and for others, and the final call - "purifying the mind " - is extremely important and essential. Is it possible to call such a religion passive and negative? It should also be noted that in the thirty-seven factors that led to Bhodhipakkhiya Dhamma, thirty-seven assistants, or thirty-seven Bodhidh things, viriya was mentioned nine times. To clarify the relationship between him and his followers, the Buddha said: "You try yourself,The Buddha pointed out the path. Part of us are to follow the path to purify ourselves or not. Trial is very important in Buddhism. "I myself make me clean,

Being bound by the rules of discipline, bhikkhus can only operate within the limits of their precepts. Layers can serve the Dharma, the nation, and the world in a different way, but in the spirit of the Buddhist principles. Buddhism outlines a way of life for the monk and another for laypeople. Understandably, all Buddhists are brave warriors. They fight, but not with guns and bombs. They kill, but do not kill innocent men, women and children. So who the Buddhists fight against, and with which weapons? Buddhists kill ruthlessly? They fight against themselves, because man is a bad enemy of man. Mind is the most dangerous opponent, but also the best friend. No mercy, Buddhists slaughter and eradicate the craving, anger and delusion in their minds with the weapons of Kamma, Concentration and Wisdom. Those who love to fight their aspirations alone in silence are completely free to do their will. Bhikkhus who live in seclusion are good examples of respect. To the knowledgeable person, loneliness is a source of happiness. Those who wish to struggle with the difficult problems of their lives to try to create a world of happiness in which human beings can live as ideal, peaceful and harmonious citizens can also take charge.

Understanding the teachings of the Buddha, the rich or the poor can not be an obstacle to becoming an ideal Buddhist. Mr. Anathapindika, the best tutor of the Buddha, is a millionaire. Ghatikara, respected by more than one king, is a poor potter. Buddhism suits both the poor and the rich. Buddhism is also suitable for both human, mass and intellectual levels. The less educated class of Buddhism is due to the fervent sense of fraternity and morality. Knowledge is passionate in the profound teachings and methods of cultivating the mind. A visitor unfamiliar with the customs of Buddhist peoples would have been misled when he entered the temple for the first time, and suggested that Buddhism was only ceremonial rituals, Is a superstitious religion, containing forms of worship worshiping wood and trees. As a leniency religion, Buddhism does not negate or deny these external forms, as it is necessary for the masses.We can see how much respectful devotee how to respect how to attend the temple. Because of this attitude of reverence the faith grows. The Buddhist knelt in front of the statue of Buddha and expressed his grave respect for the ideal that statue represents. The Buddhist understands meditating on the noble qualities of the Buddha and does not wish for any material or spiritual grace. Bodhi tree, on the other hand, represents enlightenment. The Buddha did not expect the followers to live in rites but, on the contrary, advised to practice according to his teachings. "

Is it right to say that Buddhism refers only to things that are completely out of the world, although Buddhism advocates a long series of past, past and future lives, and some endless realms in That beings can live? The Buddha's mission is to liberate beings from suffering and afflictions by eradicating their origins and pointing out the pathway for those who wish to be able to put an end to both birth and death. However, sometimes the Buddha also teaches material progress. Both progress - material and spiritual - are necessary for the development of a nation. Do not separate one from the other. Nor should sacrifice mental progress to achieve material gains as we are striking in some countries too materialistic. The task of governments and charities is to develop material life and to facilitate the people. In the meantime, religions, like Buddhism, are responsible for promoting morality, enabling each person to become an ideal citizen. Buddhism goes against most other religions by clearing the path of "Middle Way" and spreading the doctrines of cloning instead of the doctrine of the divine as the core. Thus,Buddhism is inward and liberating individuals. The Dhamma must be realized on its own (sanditthiko) .Help each person become an ideal citizen.

As usual, the end of the majority of humanity is "complete destruction" or "eternal survival." The materialist believes that after death all human beings have become nothingness, nothing more. Some religions advocate that salvation can only be achieved after life in the permanent unity of a universal Spirit, or inexplicable vitality, or in other words, a form of school Eternal Buddhism teaches the path of "Middle Way". The goal of Buddhism is not a state of extinction because there is no permanent limb for extinction, nor permanent existence because there is no eternal soul for eternity. The goal of Buddhism can be achieved in this very life.

What happens to an Arhat after his death? This is a subtle and difficult question to answer, because Nirvana is supramundane, beyond space and time, and human language can not be described. Strictly speaking, there is Nibbana but no Nibbana person . As the Buddha taught, saying that an Arahant living or not alive, "in" or "non-existence", after his death, is not true. Blowing like a burning flame suddenly shuts off, can not tell when off, the flame goes in any direction in four directions. When the fuel runs out, the fire goes out. The Buddha gave the example of the flame and added that the question was not so. We can be confused and do not understand. But that is not strange either. Here is another example of a modern scientist, Robert Oppenheimer: If, for some time, the electron has changed its position, we must say "no". If we ask, does the particle move? We have to say no. "The Buddha answered the same question when someone asked him about the condition. Of a person after death. But it was an unfamiliar answer to the scientific traditions of the 17th and 18th centuries. " Of course the scholarly scholar would like to imply that one who attained Arhat. Are electronic particles still? We must say "no". If asked, does the particle move? We must say "no". "The Buddha responded similarly when someone asked him about the conditions of a person after death, but that was an unfamiliar answer to the scientific tradition of the 17th and 18th centuries." Of course, the scholarly scholar would like to refer to a person who attained Arhat. Are electronic particles still? We must say "no". If asked, does the particle move? We must say "no".

What benefit does it have? Why must we stop all existence on earth? Why not confirm that life on this earth is full of pleasure? These are typical questions often raised by people who either want to enjoy the pleasures of life, or want to serve humanity, take responsibility, and accept suffering. For the upper class, Buddhists can say: - "If you are happy, you enjoy the pleasures of life, but do not be a slave to temporary and fanciful pleasures." No, he must also reap the consequences of what he sowed. " For the next class, Buddhists can say: - "Try to use all means to create happiness for mankind and to please the spirit of altruistic service." Buddhism presents the goal of Nirvana for those who feel the need and never intend to force anyone. "Come and see," the Buddha advised.

Until the end goal is achieved, Buddhists must live a good life. Buddhism has good moral principles, suited to beginners on the path as well as people who have gone far. That is: Asian. The Five Precepts (Panca Sila): No killing, no stealing, no sexual misconduct, no expectations and no drunk.Those who aspire to attain Arahantship at the earliest opportunity can contemplate on the Buddha's advice to Rahula (Rahula) as follows: "This body is not mine, this is not me, this is not my soul." ("N'etam mom, n'eso 'hamasmi, na me so atta").
