WHAT HAPPENED?

 

Ask how to learn the Buddha, ie to ask the method of learning the Buddha. In the world of every subject has its own method. For example, mathematics, the previous student must know the number, the mathematics of the chapter, learn how to add the multiplication division, up again to learn the formula, equation etc. ... Literature, must know the letter, learn rhyme, writing spelling, learning grammar, writing way of writing etc. How much of Buddhism is enlightened, without its own method?

The method of learning the Buddha is three subjects of wisdom:  wisdom, wisdom, and wisdom . Because you want to enter the door of enlightenment is not intellectual intelligence can not enter. Buddhism is the truth is the truth, without the torch of wisdom illuminate, how do we see all the truth around, no need for wisdom, only use faith to Buddhism, to learn Buddhism , that is a great mistake. This is a serious disease of the current Buddhists. Need to heal this disease, we must thoroughly apply the three intellectual property into the Buddhist study.

What is Wisdom?

Literature is listening, by listening to the teachings of the Buddha's wisdom open, called wisdom. We hear the Dharma through the teachings of the monks, of good intellectual knowledge we have studied before us. These teachings come from the Buddhist scriptures, which contain all the righteous words, which only express the truth to beings. The more we hear, the better we are. Or we directly read the Buddhist scriptures, which open the wisdom also belong to Wisdom. Being difficult to listen to lectures, it is difficult to study the Buddhist scriptures, it is the people know from the door of wisdom to go straight to the Buddhist house.

What is wisdom?

Judgment is judged by judgment, judging by the teachings of Buddhism, wisdom grows. We hear the instructions of the teacher, led from the Buddhist scriptures, but listening to the news is not enough to learn the Buddha. Forcing us to use the judgment of right or wrong, if true, from which we believe. I have to practice the correct sentence "you have to light up the torch yourself, to light the torch with the Dharma," in the Dhammapada. We want to develop wisdom, but ourselves, how to open, must be the torch of his intellectual torch with the Dharma of the Buddha, new wisdom glow.

How to primer?

For example, we hear the Master said: "All the world is impermanent." Then use his wisdom to judge whether or not. We ask ourselves: are all the world impermanent, is there anything out of the law? If yes, this statement is not true. Otherwise, just as true, we will fully believe. Then, we survey ourselves:

Are human beings impermanent? From grandparents to our parents are born, grow up, sick, old and weak and die. Including me, when small, grow up, sick, old and weak, and also will die. In our kinship we have, so also in society, so is mankind in the world; The ancients are, so later also. It is impermanent.

Are things, houses, furniture, vehicles ... there are impermanent? It was his home, when it was good to clean, after a few years see the old, the year after ten years collapsed. The table is also, when the new glossy look good, using a few years to see old, peeling paint, then this will rot decay. The bike when bought new brand new, running one year was torn shell, neck loose, the snail ... several years will spoil. So, houses, furniture, vehicles ... the things to use next to us are impermanent dominant. Up to a hundred thousand other objects, if the survey found a similar fate.

We can conclude that "all the world is impermanent", indeed the truth. I believe this, no matter who said it, does not shake our faith. Because this faith is filtered through reason, so it is not easy to shake it.

For another example, we hear the Master teaching reincarnation, saying: "All beings in the world revolve around the cycle of reincarnation." I ask myself: Why are all beings samsara? Is there any non-reincarnation? We start from plants:

Plants formed from seeds, germinated seeds grow into trees, blooms, fruit; birth seed, seed sprouting again ... flipped back to not the same. Is it a reversal from one tree to another, even if the tree itself is reversed? Also turn around like that. The stem is living here, because the roots absorbed the country ... nurtured newly born, gradually into life. The roots of the country cultivate the body of leaves, leaves fall into the soil, branches fall branches also into the soil, the tree fell back to the country. Thanks to the country's roots, when the fall back to the country.

Water from the sun to evaporate, slightly up to meet the cold air, falling into water; water again evaporated ... forever not together.

As the globe revolves around the axis, light and dark, dark again. Based on the rotation of it, people divided the date and time in May, the spring summer sun and winter, rotate forever forever.

Because of the above investigation, we affirm that "all things in the world revolve around samsara," which is the fact that there is no doubt.

Here are some examples as a basis for the judgment of the Buddha. Based on this, we judge the Buddha's teachings, or the monks teach in other cases. Thus, new discrimination is the right and right spirit of the Buddha.

What is Tu Tuệ?

After judging the Buddha's teachings to be true, we apply them in our daily lives, making them as clear as possible. For example, it is known that "all the world is impermanent," we apply impermanence to our lives, in the following cases:

Knowing that the world is impermanent, when encountering impermanence with oneself, with our families, we remain calm not afraid of fear. Knowing it in the world is unavoidable, scared fear only makes useless. By not being afraid of our mind calmly, resolving things in a good way. We are still wise enough to advise those who share the pain.

Knowing the world is impermanent, all competition for fame, talent ... our hearts cool. Contempt for temporary things to do what, then suffering on their own, causing suffering to the end, only to catch the moon catching the ball. Greed for worldly sensual pleasures, because of this clean up.

When we see impermanence, we can not sit still and die. Try to do good deeds, if impermanence comes, we do not want to do it. You know the time, the last day can not find it, must urgently try to benefit people, can not wait.

These are the three cases where we know the "world of impermanence," we apply the spiritual practice in our present life. How many good benefits will follow that growth. This practice, coupled with clear mind, so called "wisdom."

For example, we recognize the "reincarnation of samsara", applying samsara to our lives. If we have to reincarnate, we choose the good and the better. For example, knowing the herbs from seed germination, maturity, flowering, results; seeds should germinate ... We should choose good seeds to breed good, to result in good results, for us and people to enjoy the taste. Likewise, in the cycle of samsara itself we do not escape, we need to create good people, happy people, so that tomorrow there are rolling also rolled in good place, happy place.

Knowing all things reincarnation, we have to find out which causes are involved in it. Know the cause, then find a way out of the cycle. Do not surrender, to bear the roll in samsara. As the scientists studied the gravitational pull of the earth, it then sought to make the spacecraft sufficiently powerful beyond the vacuum of the earth, to go straight to the orbit, etc. ... Knowing samsara to find a way out is the spirit of "wisdom".

Wisdom, wisdom is essential, but more important than knowledge. If there is wisdom, wisdom but lack of wisdom is only empty, no practical benefits for human life. Thanks to new wisdom to evaluate the value of literature, private and above and help the literature, private results.

Thus, the Buddha taught the Buddhist to go to the temple to meet the monks, nuns, meet monks and nuns need to ask the Buddha, asked to complete the memorandum, then remember to judge, then judge here That is the new Buddhist spirit (Adapted according to the Mahayana sutras in A-junction). Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara also presented with the Buddha, the past so long he encountered the Buddha taught the method of literature, private, and right to the right is the Guan Yin (Shurangama Sutra). It is in the Bodhisattva world, the Buddha also taught that "even if hundreds of thousands of miles away, hear someone say the law, the new Bodhisattva precepts must bring the rules to learn it. Surely the Buddha did not accept the practice of ignorance, must be full of three subjects, Tue learning his disciples.

These three disciplines are perfectly suited to the scientific spirit of today. Regardless of subject, first theoretical, theoretical critique, post-experiments or theoretical practice. Theory ie intelligence, criticism ie intelligence, experiments ie wisdom. There are new subjects that advance and invent new things.

However, the main objective of Buddhism is still different from science. Science explores all truths of the external world, conquering the mastery of nature, catching nature according to human will, to create abundant material for humanity. Buddhism revolves around the self, the filter waste the bad mind, build a soul in the joy of peace. Because of the science of creating abundant material resources, people are more likely to compete for the struggle against one another, the Buddhist doctrine builds the soul in the light, so the people will cultivate, the heart will expand both love and protection. Therefore, the three intellectuals are based on the principle of " look at yourself ". Firmly grasp this principle, read the Buddhist scriptures, we judge the judgment is not wrong.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH NU CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.28/1/2018.
