The meaning of the monk.

 

          The renunciation means renouncing the dream of the world in order to choose the life of a monk, which also means surpassing the Nibbana-dharmas by practicing the Path of Mindfulness-Wisdom. It is fully expressed in the following verse:

"Cancel the weather

Cat from the body

Buddhist teaching

Totally uniquely human. "

          But why do monks have to:

"Cancel the weather

Cat from the body.

          Translation:

"Remove the air

Away from loved ones.

          In the Nikaya Sutta, the Venerable Master defines: "Masters" is to shave off the beard, to leave the family that live in France and the Law of the Buddha.

          Then why shave off the beard?

          Standing on the side of people is a form of difference in appearance.

           But on the standpoint, it is the form of the exclusion of the bond of the family bond, excluding the defilements of the unclean or the self and the craving of craving etc. to achieve the empty heart empty. The monk came out in the same way, not with the common world. Although it is often said that the "hair root is human". But the monk went out on the way out, out of human life, the human root must be abandoned, directed to the Buddha wide beings.

           In summary, the body is different, shaved hair dyed shirt, the place of meditation is to leave the desire and love.

          As we know that when we renounce the life of a family, entering the path of monastic life in celibacy is already a divorce, but that is not enough, but only in the shallow level. Because of this, the nature of craving is very deep in itself. Everyone knows that man born of sex and sex is the basic foundation for life, human life, no sexual desire to live. The baby will not demand food when hungry, he will not be able to resist the unusually cold weather, the circumstances to survive. The nature of sex makes life so. On a shallow, this form of life, the life of this network is made of sex, so that when the first seed germination when the form of this is already sex. Therefore, in the Law of Amitabha the Buddha taught: "Basic student life, first sexuality"

           Again, the "destruction" of the Buddha is mentioned in the Vinaya Law. Phuoc Dien Buddha has taught: Sa Di must know the virtues:

          One is emancipated because of the Buddha Dharma

          The second is to cancel beautiful pictures because of the forensic.

          Three is the love from the body because no body.

          Four is not the body of the network for Buddhism.

          The year is the great Mahayana because of the people.

         These are the characteristics that the Prophet said in particular, the monk must know in general because through this I also understand partly why shave off the beard, away from relatives.

          So what is the purpose of the problem?

          In short, it is easy to understand that it is to remove all the defilements in the practice of a monk. Again, Quy Xoan addressed this issue as follows: "Disciples of the left mind" to express the first let go of the desire for liberation.

          Back in history more than 2,500 years ago, the legendary Prince A Nô Ma river used his sword cut his hair, abandoned the throne of emerald, beautiful wife poetry to engage in search. truth. Here we also see the beard shaving, leaving relatives have been from the Buddha to the present. Although in the advanced age, high material, progressive language, but the meaning of it is the same.According to Buddhist teachings, when the child wants to leave the family must have the consent of parents, It is not like in the United States over 18 years of age to be free to do anything. In the past, according to national tradition, Buddhism in China and India demanded that children be clearly separated from their parents and asked for permission to leave the family. And these customs are also handed down to this day.

          -Missing the world is out of the family of the world, eliminating all ties of self, living the life of the Bhikkhu, no family for noble purposes. It is probably that people want to leave the secular house and also this fire.

"The Three Realms, as the fire of fire"

(The three realms are not quiet, like a flame)

                                                   

           The disturbance is to go out of your own unhappy home with spiritual life.

           -Exporting the world is out of the house.

          According to the Dharma Aggregate: There are four types of ordained.

          First, the mind is not left home: Only the secular sunk in the five senses.

         Secondly, Body is not released from the family: the family in the temple but still shaved hair, dress clothes, study, but the mind is always bound, seeking the five lifetimes of the world. So their lives are no different from the secular ones. This is the deepest part of Buddhism, the kind of "lion-like, true humiliation", ruining Buddhism. It is for this reason that the idea that: The shirt does not make a monk. But what would it be like? Let us consider the third type of renunciation.

         Third, mind is not born family: As the only Bodhisattva has realized no longer craving, enjoy the five worldly beings. But because of the voluntary nature of beings, they manifest themselves in the home, live life as a secular. For example, the monks, monks, etc. In addition to the ordinary lay people, although the form as human beings, but the attitude of life is not tainted by secular, such as Pang Udom, Si Master, etc. The current character is Le Manh That. Standing in the same way, the students do not study at home or not equally. Buddhists at home but not shaved hair, do not wear a robe, but just expect to get married, ie home is good. Emperor Taizong is said to be: The master is the work of the Chief macho, Not the general, the martial arts can handle. If it is not possible to make a monk, the monk can propagate the proselytizing benefits, it is better to be a lay person in the Dharma maintenance. This is also clearly stated in the 7th enlightenment in the Great Enlightenment Sutra.

          The fourth type, the most noble, because the manifestation of the meaning of the word "home" in both form and mind. They are: the mind is the family. Only those who stay in the desert, such as forests, monasteries, etc. ... Mind they are controlling or no longer infected with the phenomenon of the five worldly beings, such as identity, good name, benefits, etc. ... Life is always refrained. Three Jewels, keep the net bar, except for all afflictions, may wish to liberate enlightenment.

           Once we understand the issue, the new ordinance really means:

"Buddhist teaching

Totally uniquely human. "

(Traditional Buddhist Publication

Vow of all beings).

          Passing on these two sentences is enough to understand what the purpose of ordination is. That is to all of you.

          But in order to become a true monk, he has to integrate himself and his religion.

          Consequently, the monk with the goal is to seek liberation to the body of the birth. Want to society no longer oppressed suffering no afflictions to achieve happiness happy, then the monk must bring the doctrine on his own, so as to disseminate the ideal spirit of Buddha Education.

          Through the meaning of the verse, as well as the types of monks we seem to have understood what the meaning of shaving the beard, leaving family ... Although only the external appearance but enough To demonstrate the releasing of the world, the socialization of the troubles, of the world, the beginning of the world of liberation, acceptance of living a life of happiness, relinquishment of family, living without family, the pleasure that a person usually enjoy. To be able to aim for the most practical path, the most peaceful according to the law and the Law of the Buddha. 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.31/7/2018.
