Meaning of Exodus .

 

In the present day, the "eight worldly worries" become more complicated and subtle than the simple, simple life of thousands of years ago. .

1. Why is the ordained?

Praise, Sanskrit is Pravrajya, is to refer to the Buddhist, abandoned family, living a happy life, no interest or sensual pleasures, only desire for liberation; They are in the forest or in pure places, away from secular life. In ancient India, there were also Brahmins who practiced alms in a similar manner, but it was Shakyamuni himself who brought the life of the Buddhist monk a fuller and more practical sense. The Aztec doctrine teaches that "one who descends into his family's martial arts must have solid faith, if not as much as the name implies, should not be called a disciple of Shakyamuni." Indeed, After leaving home, Sa-Gotam has delivered four vows, that is to save the tribulations of beings, except the obstacles or beings, vows the wrong view of beings, and the beings from the cycle of birth and death. After six years of searching, he identified the children to accomplish these vows, which humans claim to be liberated, the Buddha. Thus, the Buddhist emancipation is not only to liberate oneself. for the benefit of all beings. Having been ordained, he must always review himself with the four vows.

Based on the virtue of the practitioner, ancient virtue still holds that the monk has three classes.

a.Thân and mind are all monks: the monk is the individual volunteer, no one nor power can force a person to renounce. When the monk left home to stay in the temple, he called himself a Buddhist monk. When the mind is no longer outward looking for the pleasures of the year of education, no longer memorized the fame is lost, it is the renunciation. The body and mind of a monk are homogeneous, apathetic path, so called body and mind are ordained. This is the most ideal case for a practitioner and also the duty of the monk.

b. Enlightened disciples who do not leave home: This is the case of the people who sent themselves in the temple but their minds are still deluded, chasing after the fun of education. Such a person is only a monk because the life of enjoyment, because of the scent to admire others. The Buddha said that in the days of the dharma many ordained people were ordained.

This is the form of ordination of the holy or the Bodhisattva.These or fear of revealing the form that beings are superstitious or superstitious, or because They no longer take shape, but focus on practical practice. Their bodies do not need to be at the temple, but their minds are no longer interested in the pleasures of the sex education and also do not know the fame. This form is very special, ordinary people can not be practiced, so it is not possible to do for ordinary ordained.

The only form of renunciation, the first, the body and the mind, are the only ones.

2. Domination is directly faced with samsara

What we call the "home" of the saints calls it a prison. The Nirvana Sutra teaches that "living in the home is impermissible as a prison sentence, it is the cause of the birth of the old. The person who leaves the house is as free as it is, it is the cause of the growth of all good things. "The very expressions of the ordination are the renunciation of life in the house, hair removal, This is just a literal meaning, but the meaning of it is thanks to the respectful respect of the Buddha's law that can leave the house. afflictions, out of the five aggregates, out of the house of the three realms, liberated from birth and death, attained enlightenment; That is how we call it the true meaning. Based on the Buddhist ethics that Shakyamuni Buddha and the three Buddhas all have attained Buddhahood. Huayen teachings: "People often do not know anything about the law of the monk, only enjoy the joy and fall into birth and death without the desire to escape. The Bodhisattva, then discharge all the property fortune, as the surrogate desire for enlightenment. "Thus, the monk is not a negative work; On the contrary, it is directly facing the birth of samsara, find the way to liberation, to shoulder a noble mission of self and forgiveness, consolation never tired.

3. Sellers are positive facing life.

The monk is out of the bondage of family life. In the past, when Sakyamuni Buddha was still present, Shakyamuni Buddha saw the suffering of old life sickness; Then he resolved to abandon the throne of emerald, the beautiful wife of the poet to seek the truth. Having learned as many ascetic practices in pursuit of all current practices without results, he finally identified his own path and attained enlightenment. Thus, monasticism is not an easy task to do, it is not easy for both body and mind to feel the Dharma; Therefore, the monk is difficult, must go through many stages of practice to achieve new; It is the work of the rank of sergeant, not a powerful or wealthy man who can do it. The monk is out of the burning house of the three realms, is out of the house of birth and death; To do this, monks and nuns need to prepare themselves for a vigorous aspiration, a sincere heart for cultivating good deeds, enhancing good in human beings; diligent practice compassion and harmony to enter the scene of full enlightenment.

The monk himself must remove the tie, gradually escape the sea suffering, discharge the benefits of the temptation, only a heart to seek the truth to the ultimate liberation. The monk is a superstitious job of escapism, always to be aware of the inner, to study the progress, to eliminate the suffering old sick death, eliminate the charm, elevate the attainment. As such, the new born positive face to life. The monk must always consider that the monk is to go out of the house of birth defilement, out of the wrong house wrong view, out of the self-interest property, to complete the personality, life of impermanence, benefits of the birth. The Shing (Down hair) writes: "Shaved hair beard, should be born beings, far from negativity, immediately settled." Concentration in the Venetian Memory Essentially, we also talk about the five virtues of a monk: "One is to develop the mind of the monk; Second is to cancel the beautiful figure, because of the forensic adaptation; Third is the love from the body, because there is no body; Four is not the network, because the Buddha Dharma; The year is the great Mahayana, because of the people.

Many people mistakenly believe that the temple is a place to shirk social responsibility or into the temple immediately to be free. Thought it was too shallow. Going to the pagoda, in addition to the work of wood burning water, chanting the Buddhist daily recitation, the monk must also know the self-gesture gestures, every word of speech, strict strict rules of meditation. If you do not have enough blessings, lack of determination to lay down elaborate, or not enough time to practice and training from the beginning, it will easily fail. When it comes to meditation, sitting, meditation, study of the teachings, proficiency classics, lectures of birth. Or someone said that the temple is shunned the life, there is doubt in the mind is afflicted, even in pagodas, afflicted more and more. A warning that "when not wearing robes and then more and more". This is a two-sided lesson, when the net calm and the world peace of mind the world. When our knowledge is not true, then the mind is pure; Virtue practice is not pure, the body as an an. If you do not understand the teachings, even if you leave home, the mind can not be pure; That is just the form of the family that the monk is not ordained. On the other hand, the monk is a volunteer, as the solicitor for his career that strives and focuses on learning to cultivate. The renunciation is meant to continue to carry the Buddha's mandate, follow the holy lineage, maintain enlightenment. Want to be so, the monk must emerge strong minds, on the Buddha's teachings under the saving beings, help beings leave suffering are happy, realized the truth,

4. The seller is great filial

If it is said that filial piety is the norm of parenting, serving parents, the filial piety of the monk is more than that, because the monk is a noble gesture, not as people think that the ordained. is the absolute passage of love. In fact, the Buddha taught us that the passage of attachment or attachment, that is, does not initiate feelings of attachment, not the excuse of parental attachment; Instead, the monk brought the ordinary love sublimation into great compassion. If the deduction according to ordinary way of life the law to destroy the practice is not useful, such as dry trees are no longer meaning.

The Buddha taught us to respect all sentient beings, to thank all sentient beings, and to give thanks to their parents. After the Buddha's enlightenment. He returned to Cilicia and told his step-parents. When his father was sick, he told his father to hear the Buddha's teachings. At the time of the death of his father, he carried out his father's burial and burial. The Buddhist monk replied to his mother by using bridges. Vow and guide parents to follow the right path, doing good to avoid evil, create moral merit. Only people who do not understand morality think that Buddhism does not respect filial piety. In Buddhism, it is emphasized that "fondness is the mind of the Buddha, the goodness is the happiness of the Buddha", the monk always take compassion to make the nostalgia, the Bodhi-mind, the Bodhisattva-happiness, the benefit of the people, salvation sentient beings, on the four of grace, under the suffering of all beings, love small insects. Monks and nuns use their spirituality to make tidings, if parents are difficult, Buddhist precepts also allow parents to donate, even bring their parents into the temple to serve. We have many incarnations in the directories, there are also many parents, if this life is lucky to be ordained, must be diligent cultivate beings, graceful predestination for parents for many generations.

The monk must know how to progress, beyond the three realms, using his wisdom wisdom to serve beings, making beings benefit real, from ignorance that go to enlightenment. Use Buddhism to guide beings, take up to teach all species of animals; Therefore, the monk first came to the benefit of beings, attain Buddhahood, only as such is a true monk, not shirk life, not leave the world.

5. The practical meaning of the monk

-Nationalism of the individual: the renunciation by virtue of preserving the law that birth, due to arise that wisdom growth, finally attained liberation enlightenment. If we use true faith to apply the Buddha 's teachings to the reality of life, to benefit our lives, we will harmonize with each other; our world - she is happy then it is pure money label; Wherever the monk goes, there is a noble meaning of ordaining. Letting go of the hair of our monks is the official commitment to life, because our suffering lives, we pray for the sake of suffering, the joy of all people for our happiness, the happiness of all people to make our happiness, Practical Bodhisattva not for personal peace that help all beings suffering miserable happy. That is the real life.

- The meaning of monasticism to Buddhism:   Buddhism is handed down in the world thanks to the rank of monk, one more than the right monk, one more power to propagate, making the Dharma on them flourish. Dhamma is widely propagated by the power of the Sangha. Dang Duong Cong Duc Tang Bao showed that the monk is responsible for preserving the network of the Three Jewels, continue the lamp of the wisdom of the Buddhas; "The disciple of the monk is the person who can take charge and succeed the Dharma of the Tathagata in the next life. If we bring all the merits of the world together can not compare with a monk to celebrate the Church. The history of Buddhist propagation has confirmed the great role of the Sangha in maintaining the dharma in the world.

Today, although the book is full, it is difficult for people to approach Buddhism. Their biggest obstacle is not understanding the Dharma, which is related to long-term education, and reflects the ineffectiveness of the Dharma. Moreover, the missionary work is not parallel with the current education, there is no means of full accuracy and comprehensive to bring the Dharma popular among the masses. So the job of propagating the profit is a great responsibility that the monk must shoulder.

Meaning of monasticism for the whole society: Development society can not only focus on material civilization but also build moral civilization; Otherwise, the development of social imbalance. Buddhism is a positive contribution to civilized spirit for society. Dhamma is the dhamma. Practicing the Dharma is self-training to improve the personality and equality with all beings in the legal world. Modern society emphasizes the role of harmony, which is very relevant to the Buddhist spirit. Buddhism never speaks to the opposition but to the harmony. Everyone can learn in Buddhism; If this world people learn Buddhism then the world is no longer war, people with harmonious love.

Domenism is the shoulder of the career of the Buddhas, continue to light the lamp of the Dharma. The power of a small individual, but if you can speak as the Dharma, do the Buddha's teachings can touch the minds of many people, giving the society a humorous value. monks and nuns for the benefit of all people is a career; Help build a peaceful society, improve people's minds; Compassionate, complementary, supporting the shortcomings of education; Contribute to building a peaceful and happy nation for all sentient beings.

The monk is a fine tradition of Buddhism, the pursuit of man, seeking liberation and sincerity to live with life. The Absolute Mercy is a personal freedom without any pressure. any. Home is living with a group of Sangha harmony, reconcile an individual into the mass to train themselves quality, realize the ideal of liberation; At the same time, the energy of compassion and wisdom of the mass transformed the world, promoting individuals and communities are constantly improving. 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.27/9/2018.
