We develop deeper meaning of the Buddha's eminence to recognize the importance of monasticism, helping us live as Buddha taught.

When he was not ordained, the Buddha is Prince live in the golden silk velvet scene. There are three comfortable châteaux for Him to live comfortably, not to be ruled by the harsh Indian weather, and there are so many servants and singers dancing to Him, of course, there are many protectors. the palace, ensuring absolute safety for him. Everybody says that this is the life of the high king to the peak that everyone desires.

But Prince Siddhartha was different from the world, because he had an insight into human life and he did not desire to enjoy such a wealth of material life. In other words, Siddhartha is self-absorbed, or he is a Bodhisattva who embodied himself to save mankind from suffering. 

Painting Buddha: the Buddhist monk

The true self, the spiritual person of Si Dat Ta is the most important, called full of good health. Indeed, Prince Siddhartha is full of virtue, wisdom in the human body, meaning he is very good health, appearance makes people love, brilliant intelligence. Each body is not the same, because the blessing, virtue and ability to know are not the same.

Everyone dreams of being like him, but he does not feel like us. He was bound in the crown prince, in the three palaces, in the service of the guardians, not free to walk.

For example, it is easy to see that the president of the United States has the most power, the highest life, but must always have a guard, must use guns can not. When he came to Vietnam, a plane for the president to go alone, some escort jets before and after. There is a lot of US security combined with the security of our city to protect his life. It is the fact that the higher the clarity, the better the external dependency.

If we meet them, they will be told that they have no time to eat and sleep, no time to live on their own, a bond by society, status, affection, family. Such strict ties were called Prince Siddhartha, with no freedom at all. Want to know outside activities, where conditions. All things are covered. What he wants to know is not taught. What he does not want to know is cramming him, teaching him how to govern people, how to train soldiers to invade another country ... As a prince who will lead the country, he must learn things. This does not want to.

While Siddhartha thirst for knowledge of the truth of man is the truth. Thus, his renunciation is to renounce the secular life for true freedom, not bound by anything, called secularism, exaltation and exodus, Out of samsara is a great goal.

Follow the footprints of the Buddha, to express the sense of ordained, we must also necessarily follow the Buddha, but in fact there are some people follow. If properly followed, then be liberated, but not follow the right, take advantage of the collapse. So, there are people who practiced spiritual practice, but there are many people who practice life suffering more pain.

The true monk, in any circumstances, is free. The monk due to ambition is suffering from suffering, because their desires are not given. I have a friend from small to now, I am 80 years old, meet again, they coal has not found the land plug, go anywhere was kicked out; Because they want to stick to the people pushed away, so not people come out.

Siddhartha went out to leave. For what human desires never come, what we fear will come; fear of suffering, want to peace, peace away. To be aware of this idea.

Siddhartha went to the palace to find the truth, feel the life from here happier, because the chain of peanuts, luxury clothes to change his shirt Said things are safe. And then there are plenty of money, stuck with money, if not preserved, money is lost.

Si Dat Ta leaves all, only a bowl of no value and tattered clothes are not used. I cultivate this application in life, feel good. I have fellow practitioners who are Buddhists, buy clothes, laundry laundry, watch out, fear of loss, suffering is suffering. This teacher kept the same, but decades later meet again, he is nothing more, life can not go up, because morality does not grow, people go down only.

Therefore, the renunciation and the renunciation are normal. This was voiced by Mr. Vo Dinh Cuong that the low silver money into the old river port. In society, suffering, feel happy, should go to practice. When we see the suffering again, the rest. Such as that the non-life, far more than the non-living in the three realms.

But we left the family want to publish a natural paradise, to rise to make the team, the Buddha. There is a low silver around the bread with rice, manh shirt ... That is important I want to remind you.

We do not think of riches, fame, food, clothing, so our minds have conditions to think higher things. At first, Siddhartha thought.

Living in the palace, he was crammed with so much theory, so he thought that to find the reality, that is to find a way to learn with good results to practice. And the first person he encountered was the mage Kamala. He just said a thought that he realized and practice has immediate results, that is Divine joy.

In fact, the real monk, we have to leave the material life and emotional life, not being social, nature-dominant, called Divine, we really have spiritual life. Religious who do not have a spiritual life are monks. This is the Buddha's suggestion that the cultivator must have spiritual oasis to live. Therefore, the teacher must be attentive Divine Pleasure, step into the new Save the save. And knowing the world is useless, because it tied us more.

First, we give up the worldly sentiment. Stay in touch with family, friends, or spend time chatting where this person will go. The more dependent on the outside, the easier it will be.

In my experience, want to be born, to cut off the worldly sentiment, to concentrate new ideas. Abstaining from emotional attachment to focus on what work, the wisdom glow, immediately see the correct answer. The Buddha teaches this: "Most of the mind, no doubt".

The Buddha is not afraid, because he has a high concentration. Things that are not needed are not known, but when it is necessary to know everything, that is the mind Sa-subject, the path we choose according to the Buddha. Knowing more, but saying that makes people hate, know so much does not help. On the step of the path, when there is work to solve, we focus on the idea, the answer is intuitive intuition is very important.

Venerable Tri Tinh teaches us not to listen, not to know the outside, to concentrate our thoughts and begin to observe the Buddha's teachings to see the inner meaning. In doing so, the new teachers combined the teachings of Theravada and Mahayana, and became teachers. If not, fall in place, say the right theory, but the person hates.

Concentration and contemplation of the original Sutra and clear wisdom is Mahayana. It must be confirmed that Mahayana thought originated from the Theravada. But accepting the Primitive, the only true primitive is that it falls locally. The teachings of the Buddha are originally of Theravada Buddhism, but additionally elaborate meditation, that is to understand other understandings, understand more.

The language of death, but wisdom is life. Therefore, the Buddha said that what he understood as the leaves in the forest four fresh season. What he said like holding a leaf in his hand, is the thought of death. If we only know to hold this to a dead body or star.

But from the processing of Theravada Meditation, illuminated wisdom in mind, we will be doing  Duy ghost , of  Wisdom , of  States seriously, doing  French flower . All the Mahayana sutras, due to insight, are the weak points, the essence of the Buddha's teachings.

In the past, I said that the Theravada Masters did not believe in Bodhisattva Manjushri, but shared with them I said that Manjushri represented the collective wisdom of the Great Sangha. The flower ofthe  dharma  is called the concentration of body, ie the body of the Buddha Concentration. Specifically, missionaries, people passing through China, people traveling to India, people traveling to Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam ... have a combination of Buddhist thought and indigenous thoughts. All this collective wisdom is aimed at promoting the Dharma. Likewise, teachers graduate in different schools, but the focus is collective wisdom.

And focusing on cloning, we will have a global overview of Buddhism, ie the whole observation, the Buddha depending on the circumstances, depending on the conditions that he sermon different.

As for me, to Cambodia, China, Thailand, Japan ..., I do different religions, even to Catholic countries, I have the appropriate way to do. This is because the overview is comprehensive, not persistent, not biased.

From experience Originally, Prince live contemplation and renunciation study religion with many ascetics, but through economic  Huayan , Prince Siddhartha became Thien Tai pupil school director with 52're good knowledge represents the entire The wisdom of society, each one has a profession, living a kind, that is the actual existence of society that we have to accept, also the good of it, not fixed. From this point of view, we can see that the Theravada and Mahayana traditions have similarities, but differ in terms of perception, in terms of appreciation.

Bhikkhu go to life, the basic teachings, according to the  United States there are three good knowledge is the moral trainer, Hai Van training intellectual and Thien Tranh training static mind, do benefits to life. This shows that the Theravada and Mahayana have to practice the same dharma, because monks lack moral, lack of wisdom and do not benefit people then considered abandoned.

Prosperity of this three, Than Thien Thien broader, found that the monks have concentrated concentration, static, resulting in the ability to bring into play the benefits of life. The concentration is useless.

In the past, there was no virtue, no wisdom, no static, much work, but nothing. But after these three places, sitting still have a greater impact force, called the Dharma, transformed into a body; That means that the Fa-body of the United States must have the magic. The United States, as Tỳ Lộc Tanh is aware of his luminous nature, the next is the body and the third is the application of new importance.

Consultant Monk-monk, see him sit still, but every class of people in the society of his threshold that the United States strictly stated that his   feet are countless laymen.

A monk tu tu reached this property, the most practical is the countless followers, today called the masses. Monks who become isolated, mountain bones are wrong. We learn how many people as Cu Dam goes on forever, but after him there are countless followers. Not so as we go into the path of destruction, wrong.

Buddha in Nirvana, but now there are thousands of teachers studying Buddhism at this Institute. At the beginning, according to the Buddha only five brothers Kieu Tran Nhu, then there are 50 youths Da Xa and 1,200 monks. And Buddhism still exists today, developing over four continents. Ho Chi Minh City alone has over 7,000 monks and nuns. It means that the Dharma body itself is big. Each of us is the Buddha Dharma body, or the Buddha body.

The four monks are Duc Van, Hai Van, Thien Tru and Hai Trang.

We go on the right path of grace, virtue, wisdom and benefit to man, forming the fruity body typical through the image of the monks, the business records that he sat still, but at his feet There are countless followers.

And higher up, the description on the pillows of the Monk-monks have classes of workers and workers. In other words, the people at the feet of the Buddha are too Buddhist. The second class is better, they have houses, jobs, families. They see the Buddha also want to attend, because their lives are not noble, typical Uu Ba Ly is a hairdresser. He had seven sons before his ordination, donated his jewelry. But he thought they left the treasure, according to the Buddha, he took these things; According to the Buddha was liberated life is more than happy to hold three sets of jewelry to stay with the old sick dead or star. He rushed to the Buddha before and was expecting the Buddha before, but the seven sons came after him, so he had to allow him to leave home.

Thus, workers workers also follow the Buddhist monk, not only the same nail. On top of that, there are kings dynasties ordained by the Buddha, typical of 50 leaders of Da Xa line. This shows that the teaching of Buddhism is multi-dimensional, multi-dimensional. And we practice the world is advocating the opposite sex.

Finally, the false head also follow the Buddha, so the majority of the masses have followed the Buddha, so the king also must follow the Buddha. That is the path of Buddhism, the people around the world respect threshold.

Today, we follow the Buddha, are liberated and also have the capacity to make people free. I do not have to seek live cups, waiting for death. Buddhism does not train negative people. All must go along the path of the Buddha went through. From this point of view, the Sutra of the Mahayana sutra has a continuity, which is the development of the natural flow of life. For example, if no Chinese thought, Chinese Buddhism can not exist.

 Indeed, Buddhism was introduced into China, where Chinese culture did not accept the form of almsgiving of the monks, because it was healthy to beg. But to the Tang Dynasty there are serious business   , famous as Thanh Luong great teacher in accordance with Chinese culture because of the conception of Confucianism, Manh, Tao, Trang. The combination of Buddhist thought in the Chinese Sutra   with new indigenous cultural ideas bore fruit for Buddhism, supported by kings and Chinese society, helped Buddhism grow.

But when Buddhism is flourishing, there are seeds of decadence inside. This reminds us to remember in life as suffering as hell but have survived, then escape suffering, must always remember the suffering in hell, be more diligent, do not fall back to hell.

In summary, according to the footprints of the Buddha, he chose the path of Dharma teaching, which required the combination of original Theravada and Mahayana principles to promote the teachings benefiting many people of all time. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.3/12/2017.
