Gender has the following functions: 4.

 

1. Tame the evil:

Men have the function of overcoming evil, overcoming all unwholesome activities.

Allied with the domination of the precepts, there are two good and good heart. Having a good mind and self esteem, shame yourself with yourself and shamelessly with others that protect yourself, making it impossible to practice unrighteous behaviors, so that life is happy, peace is stabilized.

In the Diaspora, the Buddha said, "You bhikkhus! Masters who are in the pure precept must control the five senses, not the liberation in the fifth year of sensuality. As a buffalo shepherd holds the stick, keeping the buffalo, do not let the buffalo boom, it hit the rice pads.

The five senses, not only the five senses, may not be limited.

Like a rough horse that is not tied up with harnesses, it will bring the batter into the pit. Thieves do harm, suffering only a lifetime, the enemy's sense of harm, drawing to many lives. Seriously bad Master can not be careful not.

Therefore, people have the mind control, but do not follow, keep as the enemy, not let loose.

Assuming, the five senses are not so long, we will see them destroying everything. " [1]

If the function of the evil dominates the evil, the practitioner of the precept is bound to transcend and transcend.

Just as the city walls prevented the enemy's advance from collapsing, so as not to lose the home water melted!

 

2. Good deeds:

"Do not do evil, do good, keep the mind pure." [2]

Therefore, the function of the precepts, is not only the task and the effect of stopping all evil, but also the function of practicing all good.

In other words, the world has the capacity to capture the grounds, making them compatible with concentration and insight so as to have great benefits for the meditator.

In the Buddha's teaching: "This is the world, this is the intention.Determining the same with the sex will result in great benefits. Tue together with the plan will result in great benefits. Mind with the same wisdom will lead to the complete liberation of the type of illegal or illegal sex, illegal, illegal smuggling. " [3]

In the basic sense of kamma and the practice of the good, it is the kamma of the senses in the practice of precepts and insight.

The meditation practice is related to the world, the meditation is called the Right Concentration, the practice of insight corresponds to the world, that insight is called Right Understanding or Right Consciousness, It is called liberation, practice and concentration with respect to gender, that determination and knowledge is called liberation and wisdom of liberation.

Again, precepts arise due to the correct form of ordination and dharma, which is called the cessation of the cessation of the citta, it is able to protect one's body, keeping the body from evil.

Because of the practice of meditation that arises, it is called the Pure Land Law, it has the ability to protect and recover the defilements, sleep in the mind.

And it arises because of the attainment of holy fruits, which is called the Dharma of Discipline, it has the power to capture the unqualified good.

 

3. Secular Administration:

In the Mahaparinirvana Sutta the Buddha taught seven principles of rottenness, in order to maintain the harmony and prosperity of the Sangha in order to maintain the Dharma. The seven principles are as follows:

a. The bhikkhus must regularly gather and gather in order to preach the Dharma, which makes the bhikkhus in harmony.

b. Bikkhu must gather in a spirit of harmony, dissolve in the spirit of harmony and fulfill all the Sangha in the spirit of solidarity.

c. Bikkhu should not issue inappropriate laws and do not abolish the laws promulgated by the Sangha.

d. Young bhikkhus must always respect the senior bhikkhus and the bhikkhus who have much experience in Dharma practice and law, willing to obey the teachings of the Chiefs.

e. The bhikkhus are not attracted to craving.

f. The habit of the bhikkhus is always occupied.

g. Bikkhu dwell on Right Mindfulness, forming a lively community, so that fellow initiates, from other directions, if not yet come, want to come and come, they want to live together and practice together. welfare.

 

And in the Buddha's teachings also teach six principles of harmony of the Sangha to bring about the rectification of the Dharma.

The six principles that keep the business from harmony, mercantile from harmony, the business from the harmony, the distribution of benefits from harmony, the practice of precepts in harmony, exchange of knowledge in harmony.

As the Bhikkhu performs these six corrective measures, the life of the Sangha flourishes. [4]

If the Bhikkhus do not practice the precepts, do not practice seven law and six lawless rotten, it is the downward sign of the Sangha and every time the life of the Sangha is degraded, Whether purely in harmony, and not carrying the content of liberation and enlightenment, the Dharma base on which basis to flourish and survive.

Therefore, the prosperity of the Dharma, is the flourishing of the Sangha, the prosperity of the Sangha is due to the bhikkhu practice of precepts, how to know the importance of the extent of the Chief's suicide France. And how important, to the Dharma?

For the rectification of the Dharma, Bodhisattva Thang Man was white with the Buddha as follows:

"The Blessed One! From today until the achievement of Bodhi, I wish to photograph the Dharma, never forget.

Why? Forgot the Dharma, to forget Mahayana, to forget Mahayana is to forget the salvation of fullness. Forgetfulness of the fullness of life is not the wish for Mahayana.

If the Bodhisattva does not decide Mahayana, then it is not possible to obtain the righteous Dharma, to go to peace at an arbitrary level and certainly not be able to afford the throne beyond mundane.

I see such immeasurable mistakes, again see the boundless blessings of the Bodhisattva receiving the Dharma in the future, so I would accept this great life. [5]

Thus, the function of the precepts is to 
maintain the Dharma, leading the Dharma to always exist in the world, to benefit all sentient beings.

 

4. The virtue of the Teacher:

In the Mahaparinirvana Sutra, the Buddha told Ananda, "Do not think, after the passing of the Tathagata, the word of the Master is no longer, then you do not have a Master. You should not have such thoughts, after the passing of the Tathagata, the righteous and the law as your teacher. " [6]

Again, in the Buddhist scriptures of the Nibbana, the Buddha taught: "O bhikkhus, after we have passed away, you must respect and cherish the precepts of the world as the blind ones. bright eyes, like the poor who are protected. Pure knowledge is your Master. If we are in life, then it is not different from pure sex. " [7]

And in the Four Laws, it says: "Blessed are they who enter Nibbana, compassionate compassion, meeting the bhikkhus, do not think of us as Nirvana. I now say business men, also called the monks. We enter Nirvana, see it as Buddha. " [8]

Thus, the Buddha gave the precepts to the disciples and taught his disciples: "He is in the world to study, because the world is the foundation for liberation and guide them to rise to liberation.

Therefore, the Buddha blamed Himself as the embodiment of the precepts and precepts that He Himself, so the bhikkhus are breaking the precepts is to destroy Him and to destroy Him is to destroy the precepts.

Therefore, the precepts function to replace the Buddha to lead his disciples to study.

 

5. Is a treasure of merit:

In the Bodhisattva Sutra says: "Precepts are the basic treasure that stores all the acts of merit; is the straight path to Buddhahood, the basis of all good deeds, the function of precepts is to eliminate all great things. " [9]

 

6. Background to the institution of Falun Gong:

The image of the King of Cakravartirāja, in the Buddhist texts, is the image of a leader based on the principles of the Dharma.

Meaning that, using the Dharma to rule the people and regain the galaxy in four directions with the Dharma and the Six.

In the Lord Buddha told A-nan, about the image of Mahāsudassana as follows:

          "Then the kings of the East came to see King Qin Jianyin and said," Come here, King! The Great King is all yours, the Great Teacher teaches us!

          Dai Thien Kien king says: Do not kill, not taking what is not given, not adultery, do not lie, do not drink alcohol, eat appropriately. " [10]

And the Kings of the other directions, they also came to see King of Great Sage, and also expressed their opinions as above, and also the Great Siddhartha Precepts teach the moral teachings as above.

In every political institution in existence, the political institution is founded on the rule of the rule of the rule, the most stable political institution, because it belongs to the moral nature, eternal adaptation to the human life and Humanities.

Globalization is the foundation of the Dharma. Therefore, precepts are the foundation of the institution of the kingdom and the essence of peace and prosperity for the people and for the orderliness of society.

In Bodhisattva Brahma says: When a Bodhisattva precepts the precepts, he will lose the title of King, the position of the Holy King.

Therefore, precepts not only serve as the foundation for the institution of the faith, but also create the character, behavior and nature of the leader of the institution. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.25/5/2018.
