Ponder something about the approach to Buddhism in today's young people.

Facing the trend of economic, social and cultural globalization. How are the religions in our country approached and judged by the youth? What is the influence of Buddhism on the young generation? The author of this article with superficial knowledge not dare to mention the big problem.

 

As the first step to study Buddhism and revelation of the Buddha Dharma. Here, just give some thought to the issue of approaching the wisdom teachings of Buddhism applied to life in the young generation today. The first thing is to bring popular Buddhist teachings to young people to help them recognize the superiority of Buddhism. Through it, they change the way they view and scientifically think about the teachings of Buddhism.

At the same time, they help young people get rid of their religious beliefs from the clergy. Accordingly, it is recommended that young people believe in the Three Jewels, the Buddhist teaching is a scientific determination to gradually learn, study, study the teachings of the Buddha applied to life daily living. And through learning, learning that mysterious color, young people gradually get scientific thinking, intellectual development to overcome the delusions of the right to direction path towards enlightenment and liberation. 

1. "Buddhism is the only religion that adapts to science"
 
"The quote made by the great 20th-century physicist Einstein in his assessment of the superiority of Buddhism to human life, and not only Einstein, has been in recent decades. Not many scientists in the world through the research and successful application of many scientific works by the Buddhist doctrine they have affirmed: Buddhism is very scientific. As we see, Buddhism was born not to wait for science to determine that science came to Buddhism as a cause of the times.
 
Why does Buddhism fit science? That is the question of many scholars and intellectuals when learning the Buddhist doctrine. According to Professor Cao Huy Thuan in "Fly with two wings into modern". This is a lecture on the 2012 Buddhist culture week in Nghe An, with the theme "Why Buddhism Affects the West," and the professor said: Because Buddhism does not say anything without verification. Buddhism says things are impermanent. Look around with your lost pair, your experience: what is the long-lasting where? This is often the moment.

Then where to find paradise, if not in this moment itself? Happiness lies at every moment: it is the most precious lesson that Buddhism brings to the West. And look further: all things are interrelated and have and correlate with each other. Pink where the flower itself is not there? Not right! If there is no sun, is not there such a pink? But is the sun the only author of the pink? Are not! Because if it does not rain, how can flowers live? But the rain is also due to clouds, there is also clouds due to steam. If there is one, there is one, not the other. That is the law of selflessness of Buddhism is the correlative correlation law. " With modern look, Buddhism is how the West. According to Professor Huythuan: 
 
"Westerners discovered that the Buddhist way of addressing the needs of the new age. The West is rejecting God. The West had to ask Dawin to explain the universe that was not created by a creature in seven days. The Buddha said this over 2500 years ago that the time was endless, the universe is immeasurable. take. The West is worried about the final day of God's glory, so Buddhism says, "No one judges me, only human beings judge me." The West is concerned with metaphysical matters. When the arrow is shot by a poisonous arrow, it must be removed immediately, not by sitting there, but by the arrow, and by asking about the  "household" 
 
of the arrows. Withdrawing the arrow, it is the need for human liberation in the West and they see Buddhism as a response to reason, on the basis of experience, practice, and verifiability by the result itself. This life, not to heaven, or to hell. To the contrary: Westerners admire that special trait of Buddhism, and Buddhism is different from other religions. Buddhism refuses to believe if it is not based on wisdom. Therefore, in Buddhism there is no dogma. Western admiration Kalama when the Buddha taught:
 
 "Do not believe anything even if it is written in scriptures or books. Observe, think, experience, realize, then believe. "That spirit throughout the Buddhist scriptures. The Western intellectual found that the spirit was in conformity with science, with a critical mind. So Einstein says, "Buddhism is the only religion that fits into modern science." According to scholars and social scientists, "Buddhism has been known in the West since the nineteenth century." At that time only a few scholars and philosophers discovered the attraction of an idea coming from the East, which people did not know should be called religion or philosophy. Silently,  Buddhism spread to society everywhere in Europe " (1) in the mid-19th century with the evolution of modern evolution.
 

 
Silently until the early sixties of the twentieth century, Buddhism was suddenly bustling among young people when it launched a contre-culture against culture. technical, material and money. Young people aspire to a new spiritual life that helps them solve psychological and existential problems and thinks they have found a place in Buddhism.

That is when many young intellectuals come to Tibet as they seek the promised land. Twenty years later, monasteries and monasteries rose to hundreds across Europe and America. Young people - educated and middle-class - have a new happiness that they experience through their own experience in the meditation center. In the 1990s, the media, including the news media, commented on sound reports and sympathetic images of Buddhism. And now that Buddhism has taken root, has grown in society, in the cultural life in Europe and America. Buddhism is a popular subject in prestigious American universities, attracting more and more students.
 
From the above notes, in the trend of integration development, Buddhism has spread all over the world, because the teachings of Buddhism meet the needs of modern society and the teaching is never wrong. time This is the result of the application of meditation, and other disciplines are being applied by Westerners to the diseases of the century: Strest, depression and many strange diseases of body, mind of man, The external tail causes the loss of the mind, causing the strange diseases mentioned above. According to the Buddhist teachings (ie lost footprints) by all:  "Three idealistic realms.  Meaning that all good things happen by this mind. And cure  " cure "  for the treatment of human diseases not only  "prescriptions"  Gender, Dinh, Wisdom of Buddhism.
 
Westerners look to Buddhism, because the Buddha helps them to balance their rhythms, (or literally, the rhythmic adjustment). Yes, human life whether Eastern or Western, South or North people appreciate this body. The Buddha taught man: body, mind must be peaceful and peaceful, that is happiness. Happiness is not only in this life (about 70, 80 years), but the teachings of Buddhism also open up a long-term goal for human life through the teaching:  "Dharma world."  Is it possible, because of this deep teachings, that Buddhism has the power to  "seduce"  the West. 2- Buddhist doctrine does not tolerate the theocratic doctrine.
 

 
If the view of Western rulers in approaching the teachings of Buddhism is mentioned above, how does his father learn the teachings of Buddhism? We have the same points about the Buddha's teachings of the Tran dynasty. Looking back on history in general, including the history of Buddhism in the Tran dynasty over 700 years ago (in the 13th century), we see that his father considered Buddhism to be the national religion. The first answer we get from the tradition of our father is that Buddhism is not  "boring, cynical".

Why, since the 13th century, our country, although influenced by Confucianism, the Tran kings, including Tran Nhan Tong, regarded Buddhism as the dominant thought, taking the Buddhist wisdom to enlighten the people. . By the name of Buddhism, the sense is the sense that the Buddha. In the opposite, the Buddha is the sense of truth or truth. So we back up the time more than 700 years ago to recognize the historical value of the Buddhist country, which repatriated his father, Patriarch and told the history of Buddhism and youth: So what we get through Buddhist teachings from Truc Lam Patriarch? Here are the teachings of the Buddha's teachings that this article summarizes the collection: According to the team, the teacher: 
 
"Buddhism is the path of enlightenment, liberating man from the divine. A Buddhist practitioner is a person who transforms the mind of a madman into a maddening madness throughout the day, and is abandoned by all thoughts of mindfulness to a clear state of calm. That mind is the Buddha's mind . " So tu (meaning modification) that do not give up hopeful thoughts, transforming the inner only to worship the  " glass " begs the Buddha, Bodhisattva ... how come it ever? enlightenment and liberation. the Truc Lam (from our over 700 years) in all Phu Residential Ceilings heresy, Patriarch said clearly like this:          so new! Buddha "curved" house,                        Did not look far,                        Human Easement copies should We find the Buddha                        To "cup"
                      
              



 
He advised everyone to take the true self, his true face, not to look far away,  "the Buddha is in the house" , not to find far, because the heart, so do not know the Buddha it's me (Buddha's mind). According to scholars, it is from the verses in the above verse that we recognize the essence and essence of Truc Lam Zen, of Tran Buddhism, and can also be said of Vietnamese Buddhism. A thought  "Buddha at the heart"  really optimistic to enter the world, to promote the freedom of human beings. I would like to say that the Tran dynasty had three anti-Nguyen Mong invasions  (this was the invincible army that had trampled most of the mighty kingdoms of Asia to Europe at that time)
 
 Tran Nhan Tong, the heroic king of the nation, successfully led the two great resistance victories, certainly equipped with such a meditative thought, so he always lived innocently living, living In the middle of the ceiling, while still happy with the direction of the king, to the top of the most glory, but still quietly renounce the throne, the monk. With that great work for the nation. Historians later commented that Tran Nhan Tong was a talented king, and was a learned Zen master. In human beings he practices life and religion. Thus, since the 13th century, Sr. Truc Lam has founded the meditation of incarnation  (if not wanting to be converted into the world) 
 
to adapt to the ethnic situation during the war and to build the country. Reading the history of the nation, through the assessment of domestic and foreign historians talking about the three resistance war against the Mongolian army of Dai Viet, we are more amazed by the unimaginable strength of the nation and The great personalities of the Tran kings, including King Tran Nhan Tong and Hung Dao Vuong Tran Quoc Tuan in fighting the enemy's defense of the spiritual frontiers of the nation. Let us hear German historian Edvin O. Reisechauer writing in his book "The Great East Asian Tradition" about the Mongols' power at the time:  "When the Mongolian military began to start, There is no force to resist. "
 
 We review some historical data to confirm this statement of German historians: .. west of the Central Asian corridor, Mongolian troops occupied Persia in 1231, then occupied Mesopotami (called Mesopotamia) and then annihilated the Arab dynasty in Baghdad in 1258. A section of Mongolian troops crossed over to the Von Ga 1237, burned Moscow, occupied Kiep, entered Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungar. Tien, Persian ... According to the world's historians, the Mongolian army is a good army, good fight, horse riding or moving troops across the road can eat on horses, have hit half of Europe , which is considered the army of invaders, However, three times invaded Dai Viet have been defeated miserably (?).
 
The war against the Nguyen Mong of Vietnam, if considered in the rational view to evaluate, so far not explained. According to historians, the population at that time in Vietnam was over 30,000 people, rudimentary weapons, why win the Mongolian force as strong and powerful as the above historians? This is a question open for more than seven centuries so far no answer satisfactory. And would like to say more  (Nation of Vietnam at that time 100% of the Buddhist, National Buddhism is).  That is a record of the history of anti-war resistance of King Tran Nhan Tong when in the world.
 
In 1299, Tran Nhan Tong formally entered the non-sacred Yen Tu monastery and established the Zen school of Truc Lam Yen Tu. (A separate Zen in Vietnam). With his great contributions to life and religion, according to the Dai Viet Su Ky Toan Thu: People and the Tran Dynasty (13th century), he called him Emperor Tran Nhan Tong. Since then, he has devoted himself to the Dharma and has traveled extensively in the country to popularize and preach the Buddhist Sangha, and he himself has been living in the country for ridding the  " At the same time, the teachings of Buddhist monks and nuns, and the expansion of teaching business, law, and commentary for monks and nuns. Vinh Nghiem Temple (Yen Dung, Bac Giang) was the center of the Truc Lam Zen School, the first Buddhist University of Dai Viet, where the Truc Lam Truc Lam teaches here. The number of monks and nuns attending the event was over 1500. At present, there are also 3050 wooden houses. These woodblock prints at the 5th Session of the World Panel of Asian and Pacific Nations have recognized:  "The woodblock of Vinh Nghiem Pagoda is the World Heritage Site of the Asia Pacific Region of the Year. 2012 "
    
 "According to the remnant notes, the Tran Dynasty published many Buddhist scriptures, especially in Nôm scripts, but unfortunately all of that scripture, and the history of Buddhism in Vietnam was the Ming When we go to rule our country (the 15th century), we bring clean and bring to Kim Lang, apply policies to destroy the burning culture to assimilate our nation. " 
        
Through historical data, Tran Buddhism has brought peace, peace and prosperity for the people. The country is prosperous, the spirit of self-reliance, self-strengthening deep cultural identity. "Unfortunately, the grape growers at that time only learned about the Confucianism, which is not unique, but the deep wisdom in the Buddhist teachings and the traditional culture of the nation, has brought the country back to slavery. Translation of Chinese culture, not thinking about the issue of "Culture is still the country, culture is lost, then dehydrated."
       
Through the history of founding and preserving the country, including the historical linkage of Buddhism in Vietnam, Buddhism was introduced into our country around the first century, when Vietnam was Giao Chi and Cửu Zhen belongs to China. Soon after, Buddhism came to China. Next, Chinese Buddhism came to Vietnam. Thus, Buddhism was introduced into our country in two main ways. Indian Ocean Road to and from China. In the context of history when the country was ruled by the North, with thousand years of Han culture. It is this, Buddhism has been influenced a large Confucian thinking, so the intellectual wisdom of Buddhist science has been obscured by the theoretical insights.

Not many people go to pagodas, including a small part of the youth, students now go to the temple, but really do not understand the deep teachings of Buddhism. Reflect on this, in the article titled  "The influence of Buddhism on shaping the ethical personality of the young generation in Vietnam and the challenges posed."  Author: Ha Van Nut (former vice president of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front) posted on the research and popularization of knowledge Buddhist Khuoc Viet No. 30 recently said: "The goal of Buddhist education is to be enlightened, to be able to liberate oneself in order to achieve happiness." Thus, Buddhism throughout history has increasingly affirmed its important role. the issue of social ethics education ... However, in the majority of young people, students are trying their best to study, devote to the country, there is still a segment of young people only run by material , by the temptation of triviality, to drown in the ruins, ruining the traditional moral values ​​... Today among those who go to the temple, many people do not have enough knowledge of Buddhism so the next Transforming and disseminating the positive values ​​of Buddhist morality in the family and society is still limited. "
       
Buddhism is a system of wisdom wisdom. Sometimes the pursuit if not enough charm has not recognized the basics. According to the subject of this article, the error is not necessarily due to the nature of the nature of thoughtful action (discharge). Because if they blame action, Westerners are more aggressive in Europe than in Europe, but why do they approach Buddhist doctrine very quickly and have a system of scientific reasoning? admirable. Even now, there are fewer people in Europe and Westerners who practice Buddhism. To this, perhaps this example is: They come to the Buddhist doctrine as white paper, when they are awake and thinking with an innocent innocent mood towards the Buddhist teachings, should a barrier-free access by inherent prejudice. Thus they learn to absorb the teachings very quickly and effectively. What about me? The Three Teachings of the Unification Mix for Life, plus the Revelation of the Theocracy "Glass worship"  is a set of ken thickening for thousands of years with the Northern feudal culture. 

So that when it comes to Buddhism, to the temple is people are used to think of asking the Buddha, saintly blessing. Come to the Buddha, Bodhisattva that anxiety, fear do not understand the impermanence, then how to relax in order to recognize the wisdom of Buddhist teachings, say nothing of liberation. However, here it must be sincerely acknowledged that, in recent decades, the Buddhist doctrine has been widely propagated, access to Buddhist doctrine has many advantages, not only to young people, which to a large number of people, so faith in the Three Jewels day also increased and deepened. Young people have access to Buddhist scriptures.
 

 
The Buddhist scriptures system is extremely rich and varied. Should be like a classic forest, it is enough to make the Buddhist (especially young Buddhist) dazzle when first studied. Buddhist scriptures written or oral on the paper are divided into three types of content is the Law, the Law and the. These three are called Tripitaka. Young people when approaching the Buddhist scriptures without the eyes of law (ie select the appropriate law) very fall into the state of escape, frustration before the  "sea" of the text with the systematic concept and the term dense Buddhism. That is not to mention the depth, implication hidden through the business. Not every child is reason enough to understand.
 

 
The penetration of the Buddhist doctrine is not only an important task for the abbot and abbot of the abbot, monastery ... but also very necessary in spreading the Dharma to the late. Before the actual situation of the Buddhist to the temple without understanding the Buddhist doctrine should have the wrong behavior in the meditation site such as: dress offensive, burned paper money and gold code waste, or money odd to the Buddha statue and implore, imploring ... That is a deviant expression has eaten after a long turn in the subconscious of many people. In order to prevent the superstitious infiltration of the young, those who are well informed of the dharma, especially the abbot, should guide, as well as temples and monasteries with the amount of money (merit may) Or buy books: Buddhist high school, Initially studying Buddhism and books related to Buddhist doctrine; Helping young people read the times approaching the teachings of Buddhism
 
Of course, the late access to Buddhist sutras is a difficult task. The penetration, understanding the Dhamma as Tathagatas also need time and accumulation of life experience. Chiir single sentence in the business Kim Cang writing about the Dharma gift Ba:  "Giving without giving generosity is actually giving . " This sentence alone, has caused many headaches can not understand. Why:  "A new A real is not A?" .

In this sentence, if you keep on the words to try to understand the business is like just note the top that the root. The book of the Buddha is not far from reality, the root of suffering arises from ignorance, from the self, from the grasping, the constant love that arises. To understand the sutras and the teachings of the Buddha is nothing more than to look at the body and mind, as well as all phenomena in real life. By the author of this article please ask permission, he revealed a few things with young people his little story, when first came to Buddhism. That was around 1980, when the age as you are now, casually to a bookstore in the tourist area, looking up suddenly found the book  "Eight precious books. 

Due to the four letters on the cover, so no hesitation to buy the book immediately. Come home to read the new book, the book is the Thich Thien Hoa, books about 500 pages thick, guide the Buddhist disciplines. As curiosity read more and more strange, see or (at that time do not understand much about the director). And when reading to the section of thought, ie  "Impure body shop",  which guides the cultivator to imagine the body is a white skeleton, or body rotten dead rotten ... read here, in the night bunny hose! This is the first time to come up with a book on Buddhism, and later on with the grace of continuing to get drunk to know, to know that is one of many Buddhist discipline, that is  "Quan Thich". 

After this new knowledge, this restaurant teaches the Buddha to help cultivators perceive the impermanence. Thus, the disciplines must have instructors and contractual basis for each person. In order to follow the path of spiritual practice, the first person to practice should read the book Beginning to study the Buddha to understand the basics, then new steps to learn to understand the new Buddhist doctrine mysterious. Through learning the book is known: Right from the time of Buddha Sakyamuni. Ananda is his great disciple, when teaching the practice of two nåma also mistaken should be criticized by Buddha, lead the following story:
     
Formerly worshiped A Nan, guided practice for two novice monk (novice). One who teaches the practice of "open book". The other teaches the practice of "Impure Quan." Both of them at a time, when meeting with Nan Nan, they are said to have failed. A Nan thought, I teach tu Dharma with no results? A Nan asked to come to the Buddha. 
                   The Buddha asked: 
                  "What do they do 
                   ? 

Buddha: 

- A blacksmith and a graveyard.

After listening to the Buddha said to Ananda: "I teach tu do not fit with their basis, for the blacksmith should teach the book by the blacksmith or the breath to blow the oven! (counting the breath) they will be easier to practice, but the person who sees the cemetery, they often see the dead, should practice the practice of "Impatient body shop." That will suit their muscles. 

According to the Buddha, Ton translator practice for two disciples. Some time later they progressed and obtained clear results. The teaching, the teaching of Buddhism, as well as the teaching method in the world, when we do not have deep mind (ie not understand human), the transmission, teaching From this fact, in the articles mentioned above, Thanh Quyet, Japanese word, said: "To get proper dharma, one has to think and realizing that, Eighty-four thousand of Buddhist teachings only show, this is the path that helps us live in the world of afflictions, but our minds go to Bodhi, although we choose to do it anyway. liberated.As Buddhist or monk at home, on the way to practice, when the heart is not healthy, the body is not liberated, is known to be lost in the worries. So the more suffering and suffering, especially at home, this need to reconsider the practice.

HT Tri Quang, when referring to this content also said that: Buddhist doctrine has many disciplines, but only one liberation. It is the practitioner who is determined to attempt to achieve the samsaric life in this life. With people are not enough, the strength is weak. We need to understand, in eighty-four thousand disciplines, if narrowed to only two surplus. It is the Yin and yang. The Buddha taught to people who are still reborn in the Four Sacred Path, or to live in the Three Kingdoms (Lotus Sutra). However, the divine and the divine, according to the Buddha, this is also a good scene. Help us step by step into the healthy way!
        
The teachings of the Buddha taught the Buddha, it is the Three Rules, the Five, but the most important is the Three Laws. Because if there is holding the five precepts, but not life, is also not in the Buddha. Because the grapes also have Triangle, the five common: human, meaning, ceremony, mind, credit. Thus, according to the teachings of the sublime, he also becomes a good person. And in the aftermath of rebirth also lived in good condition. According to the footprints of the Buddha, we should take refuge in the Buddha to get out of samsara. That is the basic principle. According to the Lotus Sutra, here we have planted a good foundation in the Buddha. There is a healthy foundation, between us and the new Buddha is correlated (self-effort). When we make such correlation, we receive the Buddha's force, in order to neutralize the suffering of this world.

The contents of the Buddhist teachings to the young, next please also mention another case for us to contemplate: That is the Bodhisattva Ma Ma rebuked two disciples of the Buddha is Moggallana and Phu Lau Na, because these two also guide the wrong people practice to discourage practitioners do not follow the Buddha. Pointing out the wrongs of Phu Lau Na when teaching religious practice to young people, Bodhisattva Ma Ma Ma Phu Phu Na Na said: "All the young people who studied with him, they had great aspirations of youth, they liked to learn, liked, and loved to enrich, while he used the Far East They do not need, nor do they want to be, away from life, but rather, they like to commit themselves to life, to the idea of ​​serving the masses. Therefore, applying the wrong object will make the law become illegal.  Also mentioning young people, recently in the electronic newspaper (Buddhism today), there is an article:  "Nghe love"  by Thich Nhat Hanh (who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize) . At the beginning of the article, or rather, this is the dharma, the author writes: "In fact, if you do not love, how can you live?" Society now has many suicides, many of whom are young, because they are not capable of loving. life is in your body, in your heart, around you, you can not live life, so we have to practice "love life". is something very precious ". 

 To quote the urgent, anxious leading to the negative karma, in the article teacher said: "In France, there are about three dozen young men and women committed suicide each day." In England, there are more suicides in Japan. In America, too, it is very tragic, because these people are not capable of dealing with strong feelings in the heart, so I am a trainee. How to deal with the pain, the pain, it is unpleasant feelings, painful urgent, the strong feelings of despair . 

Wanting to lead the youth gradually understand the teachings of Buddhism, the teacher continued: "Our human beings are made of many elements: rupa, feeling, perception, perception, perception, perception, mental and perception. Shit is just a tiny part of me, why should I commit suicide for a small part like that? "  The author writes not only to young people, but also to parents who help them understand the religion and must learn how to deal with negative emotions and give young people the power to neutralize. negative.

First of all let them know that emotion is something that comes, stays for some time, and eventually it goes away, but the teacher guides them in an easy way for them to recognize the doctrine. deep of Buddhism. Negative emotions to it like the sky is going to be a thunderstorm, when I see that sign, then I have to stop everything to deal with storms and storms. Sit down, or lie down watching the breath, watch the breath in, out breath (meditating Streest) gradually storm will melt ..
      
Buddhism is very mysterious because there are many effective methods of miraculous help life, saving lives to prevent and eliminate bad karma. Buddhism is a treasure of Wisdom wisdom, if we know how to apply, to put the Dharma in the right case, the right object as the Buddha, then the youth who have the wisdom in the morning will receive the teachings Buddhism. From there, they changed their perception of the deity, and gained true power.
      
Go back to the issue of youth with the approach, learn the teachings - wisdom treasure wisdom of Buddhism. As a beginner in the study of Buddhism, it is very gratifying that scholars and scientists around the world appreciate the mystical thought and interrelationship of the Buddhist doctrine to scientific logic. Great. This is an illuminated path that opens the horizon of study and learning for youth in many fields. And above all, the object of Buddhist study is human beings. Thought, thought and action of Buddhism are not only for short-term goals, but for the long-term goal of human life. That is the liberation of samsara. 

Buddhism does not promote worship, worship  "glass" To beg, to be disappointed, anxious, anxious and anxious before impermanence, which for a long time this habit exists to make our youth misunderstandings about Buddhism. Again, Buddhism is a treasure of wisdom that requires the wisdom of self-reliance of youth to discover that treasure. Self-reliant has the magic power of Dharma. According to social scientists and teachers,  "Study and study of Buddhism does not affect the study of the world, but only improves the wisdom and capacity of authenticity."  As the framework of the article, please return this issue to the young people on the path of learning to study, study the dharma 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.30/9/2018.
