People want to have happiness away from suffering in their own lives, so how many workaholic workers build their families, to create a career that will help them set a future direction for themselves and their children. you later. But all is just the dream to go is not always calm, comfortable and glorious. It is these negative consequences that make people depressed, disappointed, lose faith in their loved ones, friends and even to themselves. To Buddhism is to come to a basic belief through the Three Rules and a way to help people escape suffering, perfect the personality of the five worlds of application in life to build a "real human" and a happy family, a society of equality between man and man, between man and animal.
When people perceive themselves to have a religion to follow, to become a Buddhist followers must first refuge the Jewels. This is a ritual expressing sincerity, earnestness, desire for desire, a transformation of a person after a clear realization of the religion of his choice. If not taking refuge, then there is a Buddhist ceremony, the Buddha is also the audience, not the key people.The refuge has a great effect on religious beliefs, consistent or not consistent.
1) What is refuge?
Refuge is back, Y is the refuge. Back to rely on the Buddha, Dharma and Sang called refuge Three Jewels. For long we keep chasing the desires of everyday human life, without the opportunity to turn our minds around like unruly passers, without a compass. Startled realizing that a mindfulness is of paramount importance for the foundation of wisdom. By the refuge in the Three Jewels that in the present life itself is happy and future there is liberation, no other method can be based outside the Three Jewels.
Why should Buddhists take refuge in the Three Jewels? In life everything is " impermanent " not lasting only the Three Jewels and precepts of Buddhism are 4 things that Buddhists can rely Buddhism called "Quartet indestructible credits" (four convictions information can not decay) also known as four .
a) Since Buddha Bao is a knowledgeable tool:
Buddhist religious beliefs are purely moral, not spiritual worship, but the spirit of blessedness and destruction as a child of his parents, derived from his gratitude to the god. birth, the same Buddhist beliefs. The Buddha who achieved the wisdom of liberation, the liberation that teaches people to achieve the same as the Buddha should call the specific knowledge .
b) Because the Fa is faithful to the instrument:
Buddhists understand the teachings of the Buddha as a scholar who understands his specialty clearly.Understanding the Fa here means understanding the Four Noble Truths: life is impermanent suffering, cause has suffering, the result of cessation of suffering, the way to end suffering . We rely on this true belief that the application of the Dharma, overcoming the causes of suffering and evil causes our minds not to be purified.
c) As the Accumulation is Specific:
The Sangha is a group of monks who practice the Dharma practice of the Buddha in the empirical life, the Sangha is a cross between the Buddha and the Dharma. So monks have the responsibility of guiding, teaching the Buddha to follow the right path of the Buddha, called the practice of the Dharma . In contrast, Buddhists have the duty of supporting the materialism of materialism. This is a correlative relationship called Apocalypse.
d) For the genders:
If the refuge also means practiced, because in the Four Noble Truths, practicing eight road ( Eightfold Path ) put the practitioner achieve good behavior. But if that is not enough, because people live in the realm of education, if you want to practice building personal personality, family and social life, the first must establish the rules of practice to spend That is the precepts (five precepts, see in part B about the five precepts), which are here in the four imperfections called the Subtle World .
In the Three Jewels, the Buddha is the head of the Buddha, but the important thing in Buddhism is the Buddha, not the Buddha, because the Buddha is the way out, can not help people escape. From pain, only the Dharma has the power to free man, so the Buddha taught: "Ananda, not reverence, worship is to make glory as the Lai, Bhikshunis, good men and women who practice the Dhamma, live righteous in the Dhamma, keep the high virtue, he is the devotee worship, So we should try to practice, practice the French keep good virtue ".
2. Refuge Three Jewels.
Buddhism is the middle path (the middle path) as the basis for the recognition of the phenomenon of world phenomena and life is not mortal on one side but very objective, besides that Buddhism is an internal religion. The concept of the Three Jewels also. There are two aspects of the practice, the practice of seeing and understanding the reason for not accepting, in the meditation house called "truthful members ". Here the Tam Bao plays an important role for Buddhists, we need to understand if it will fall into the border because of the refugees trying to refuge the Three Jewels also known as external refuge.
a) The Buddha 's recitation : We are born in the period after the Buddha was born so the more effort must follow the way the Buddha went to avoid wrong, wrong way.
b) French refuge: Resolutely practice the teachings of the Buddha in the scriptures, to transform greed, anger and delusion into the circulation of the Dharma, into the living material in each. human.
c) Refuge: Raising the monks for guidance and practice. We know that when the Buddha was in the world, the Buddhist group where the Buddhist center where the threshold. After the Buddha's entry into Buddhism, the Sangha became the center of worship.
Taking Refuge Tam Bao for the purpose of studying the Fa, want to study the Fa should be increased to encourage, so the increase represents two elements of transmission of thought and example in the life of the Sangha.
3. Li Zhimin Zhen Bao:
This refuge is also referred to as the Three Jewels of self-preservation because the Three Jewels is the object, the Three Jewels is the nature. Place the Three Jewels outside to develop the Three Jewels of the mind. The Buddhist doctrine is the doctrine of self-reliance, the re-establishment of self, the true purpose of Buddhism.
a) The Buddha's Law says: Every person is available Tanh first, the first to learn the Buddha where the Buddha outside the recognition of the self-awareness of that mind is to develop insights yourself.
b) The law of the law: When we study the Buddhist sutras, we realize that each person has compassion, wisdom, joy ... and develops the virtues of the Dharma. This is the French refuge.
c) The Law of Sangha: Seeing the image of the Sangha helps us to realize that we also have the virtues of harmony, purity, liberation ... and develop these qualities, so called Sangha. security.
first . Conditions & stances:
The condition to become a follower of the Three Refuges: the devout Buddhist enlightenment is the Buddha, his refuge is Dharma Dharma and the refuge of monks in accordance with the Dharma is Sang Bao, here are the three throne that the Buddha's children to cultivate the practice of liberation.
a) Why should the road to liberation should refuge Three Jewels?
Although the concept of Buddhism is completely voluntary to choose Buddhism as the belief of his life, but the condition to become a Buddhist must necessarily take refuge in the Three Jewels.According to the spirit of Buddhism, "Buddhism is the truth as knowledge," and only the Buddha is a witness and experience it in a "real way" , so only the disciples are the Dharma practitioners. that's right, so out of the Three Jewels we do not see a French can bring us to liberation. The issues mentioned above give us a sense of why we should take refuge in the Triple Gem.
b) Refuge Protocol:
When he wants to take refuge in his master, he will guide the Buddha in repentance and then vow.
- My name is ....... throughout the life of Buddhist Refuge, throughout the life of the French refuge, throughout the life of refuge.
This prayer comes from the mind of the refuge, not by force or inducement, so that prayer will be the eternal seed that never ceases. The refuge ceremony will have an important impression on the Buddhist when he entered the path. It can be said that Buddhism evokes the spirit of self-consciousness, voluntarily never advocates compulsion or vows to let the person dare not give up, because this is contrary to the spirit of voluntary Buddhism. When receiving the true value of Buddhism and vowed to take refuge, understanding then followed by the spirit of enlightenment Buddhism.
- My name is ....... throughout the life Refuge the Buddha then, do not take refuge angelic devil.
Come to the Buddha to come to enlightenment, find the true value of the spiritual life, rely on the Buddha outside to find the Buddha's own mind, so not for any Buddhist follower angel , a species that lives in confusion, is engulfed in samsara, samsara.
- My name is ...... for life French Refuge, not religious pagan religion.
Dhamma of the Buddha is a medicine for sentient beings, Buddhists use the Dharma to have peace and freedom from suffering in life, now we hear that there are other religions and other better or more sacred "If you have to go to the religion, if you become a Buddhist, then life is hard to get away from the cycle of rebirths and hope to see the Buddha.
- My name is ........ throughout the life of Refuge, then do not take refuge teacher, you evil.
Buddhists have vowed: " Let go of the evil, do good works ..." so we are not close to the evil elements. The western proverb says, "Tell me who you are close to, I'll tell you how you love me." That statement is synonymous with Vietnamese proverb: "Near the ink is black, near the lamp. it's bright.
2 . What is the use of the Three Jewels?
When Buddhists take refuge in the Three Jewels and become a Buddhist, they have the following benefits:
a) Do not fall into hell:
There is a clear direction that we come, we are free to enter the Buddha, Dharma, Sang, from here fear of falling into suffering because of not get the passage as the world says: "suffering burned in three paths, the suffering of the camel, the donkey must carry heavy, the hunger and the oppressed hungry ghosts are not suffering suffering.
b) Do not fall into the ghost:
Choosing Buddhist doctrine to apply the practice, the spiritual life of tolerance, generous compassion for more people and no longer be wronged by misleading comments. As a Buddhist, our spiritual life has a place to rely on, not lost as helpless as a boat without direction, because there is no belief in life.
c) Do not fall in the animal:
We have monks guided on the path of cultivation through the teaching of enlightenment in life, conscious of their own actions, monks reminded by practice, we are no longer thirsty low expectations because of not seeing the truth of things in the world.
The Buddha was born because of human beings or in other words the object of the Buddha is human so the purpose of Buddhism:
- Bring back the knowledge of human values that enables people to recognize the truth, not to take on the power and take responsibility for what they do. "The human being is the master of his decision on the part of myself no one else ".
- Guide people to improve their life by methods, prevent desire and make the body and mind pure to bring about a result of living peace and happiness.
- Show the value of true freedom to yourself and others around you with peace, equality and moral life in the social community.
Here the foundation for Buddhists in the practice is the five precepts, aimed at building people in life.It is also the predominantly expanded world for later followers. Thereby we can see the importance of the five precepts.
first . What is gender?
The Sanskrit language is Sila, Chinese translation of Thi la sound, also called la la ruby special liberation, the precepts of Buddhism to help people a method of not creating bad karma, Benefit yourself. Gender has six abilities:
. Tame: Prevent 3 karma (body, speech, mind) not let go lung.
. Bargaining: Because of the three pure kamma so not being burned by the birth of beings, making the mind is cool lightly.
. Kamma: Preventing bad intentions that impact the negative karma, making good karma develop. The Buddha said: "As the saying says the idea is karma .
. Laws: These are the rules that build human morality and perfect the personality.
. Dignity: The actions deserve to be praised.
. Protection: Protection and protection is also called "non-evil room" (prevent bad things, stop evil things).
Thereby we find that the five precepts of the Buddha are intended for themselves, for family happiness not for the Buddha.
The Buddha taught Buddhists to avoid evil and do good deeds. The goodness of avoiding evil in Buddhism is reflected in the self-interest, to bring happiness to the individual and society based on the spirit of love and understanding. Those who keep the five precepts are not suffering. Gender is not the person above, forbid the lower is not done, if done, then be punished, gender is what they voluntarily do, because they are consistent with the moral and when practicing we have peace mentally and physically.
first . The first: Do not kill (not kill).
Human killing is the main factor that the Buddha forbids Buddhists not to be killed. In addition, the Buddha advised Buddhists to limit the killing of other creatures with love towards the protection of all living things. . We respect our lives, we can not harm the lives of others. No killings include self-kill ( suicide ), inciting others to kill (kill spies ), see other people kill us must start mercy should not be happy ( the viewer happy ). Buddhists must learn to share the suffering of the peoples of society, neighboring countries, living creatures. From there we have a look at life and ecological environment, animals and people.
2 . Second: Do not steal.
Non-robbery means not using the tricks of appropriation of wealth of others. Our property, we do not want anyone to invade the same for people, not to be appropriated or sneaky, that is, we go against the human spirit of Buddhism. With a mind that Buddhists must work to make material wealth, contribute to social development, love life, respect life and property of everyone should never steal, Buddhist Just think of yourself and forget the suffering of others. This is the message of love for all people that Buddha sent to humanity over 25 centuries ago.
3. The third precept: Do not commit adultery.
Buddhists build a happy family life, while also respecting the well-being of others. Therefore, when being a married couple, Buddhists can not destroy the happiness of other people's families. Generality is the factor contributing to the peace of life in harmony. So the Buddhists do not because of the sexual desire to infringe upon the family of others. Ancient people have taught: "What you do not want, do not give to people". ( Century experimental animal facility U's sterility ).
4. Fourth: Do not lie.
Liar is saying no truth to the pursuit of self, there are 4 (called) lie:
- Speaking not true (Spoken) : Not see say, see not see, hear not hear, hear not hear, do not say, do not do.
- Speaking of embroidery (in English) :
- Double tongue (dupe) : Speaking piercing my two head called: "to one person talk about the other, to the other about this person.
- Speak evil (evil) : Swearing, humiliating.
Buddhists must be honest with people from the words to do, do not frivolous, do not mind the thought of saying each other, black and white fraud to lose love.
5. Fifth: Do not drink alcohol (do not use toxic substances).
Buddhists should not drink alcohol, smoke marijuana, narcotics and other toxic substances that deplete the body. Because Buddhism advocates enlightenment, awakening in life, drinking alcohol, or harmful toxins, our minds will be revolted unintentionally, the seeds of wisdom will not grow. In addition to alcohol, Buddhists are not allowed to use foods with stimulants, do not watch pornographic films with mental toxicity. In order to become a full Buddhist moral person, we must keep away from the kinds of mental and physical harm.
In the five precepts, the four precepts are precepts that prohibit Buddhists from being shunned because it is the act of creating evil, while the fifth precepts are the precepts of the Buddha. Buddhists today must consider it a factor that causes the body to lose consciousness.
Buddhist laypeople may receive five disciplines or, depending on circumstances, one, two, three ... the world voluntarily without coercion. If we keep a circle called: lay people ; The two men are called: miserable layman ; Three precepts called: semi-lay people ; keep the four precepts called: lay people ; Keeping the Five Precepts called: the lay part of the lay . Thus, the Buddha precepts are for the benefit of individual members of the family as well as for the social community.
first . For oneself: The one who knows how to preserve the five precepts of the Buddha Dharma is that man chooses and builds himself a fundamental foundation of morality in the present and in the future.
- If the Buddhists do not kill, then the next life is not killed by the people, the quiet peace without fear of fear created by hatred. One of the living conditions is that there is no enemy.
- Keeping the thieves do not steal ourselves, we are not prisoners, wherever we work, we are trusted by all, not afraid of anyone to follow, no fear of the new life happy.
- Keep the sex not sexually each of us do not worry sorrow when husband and wife do not trust, not standing on the mountain and looking to build a family, it is a happy family warm.
Keeping the world free of lies is to help us train true virtue where there is credibility, not suspected by others. Success on the way to create a career who also want to be trusted, this is the success factor on the way of life.
Keeping the non-alcoholic beast is to preserve our dignity and bring happiness to the family, while alcohol is a medical factor. It is the birth of cardiovascular disease, liver disease is not simple. Being easily prone to hemorrhage, the nerves in the brain are also affected by memory loss.
2 . For Family & Social:
If people know the application of the five-spirit is to build a happy family a civilized society and equality. The Buddha aimed at human beings, giving people a peace, happy family, equal society of love and understanding. The five precepts are the foundation of morality, building for better social cells of any age.
- People who respect life are moral people, if life is precious, then civilized society needs to protect life, but trampling on the life of all species is brutal cruelty.
- Human life is precious, the property of man is not created meaningless, so the Buddhist must know his protection as well as respect of people. No one takes advantage of it, it is a social justice.
- The cell of human life in society is the family, which is the warmth that humans cultivate for happiness. If every family is not peaceful, how can society be so peaceful, so the Buddha forbids Buddhists not to engage in sexual misconduct because of respect for other people's well-being is also to respect their own happiness.
- Living in human society must have mutual trust, lack of social trust will be upset by the suspicion of how social people love to stick to share and help each other. the sad joy in everyday life.
- Security order is peaceful, not fighting with each other, causing harm to the family, as well as the village is due to alcohol, and toxic substances that come out. So Buddhists are forbidden to use harmful toxins.
Life is full of suffering, injustice, hatred due to lack of human love and understanding, the Buddha wants to give human beings a true love and respect, to help people escape suffering be happy Building the individual, family and society is the goal the Buddha aims to achieve. Mostly human because it is the person who motivates the best for life from the joys and desires of all people to be happy.
Refuge the Three Jewels and preserve the five precepts as the foundation of the Buddhist at home new steps into the path, this is the first but extremely important step, defining a direction and method of training personality. cultivating love and understanding, enhancing the virtue of human morality. The human factor was established by the Buddha, the role of family, social community is also from human beings that are well-built, happy and happy. Buddhists who apply the Buddha's teachings in life, to have happiness for themselves and others.
