Chapter IX-a
At the Buddha near Nirvana
-ooOoo-
The stories (much in the form of dialogue) of Ananda and the Buddha, some three months before the Buddha's passing away, were considered by many Buddhist scholars as historical documents. Important events related to the final part of the Buddha's life.
According to the Maha Parinibbana Sutta, recorded in Digha Nikaya 16, the role of Achan has played a major role in the teachings of Buddha before entering Nirvana.
These teachings are often accompanied by the "last teachings" and depict the sadness of Ananda, when the Buddha is about to fall.
According to some Buddhist scholars, these suttas indirectly predicted the life span of the Shakyamuni Buddha (only 5000), as well as foreshadowing the later decadent forms of Buddhism such as Sangha. gradually the way of life, the mirror of liberation disappears, etc. until a new Buddhist birth.
Most of these Dioceses also clarified the practical practices, advised the disciples increase the effort, practice the Buddha's liberation during the money, lest once the Buddha died, the benefit The only thing that seems to have lost.
At the same time, the whole content of the scriptures is reflected in the main character, who plays the role of dialogue, Ananda, a salvific feature that we will try to present in the following pages:
The first part of the Maha Parinibbana Sutta can be seen as starting in the Rajagaha, the Magadha where the Devadatta seven years ago damaged the Buddha and divided Take the Sangha.
At that time, Ajatasattu was ruling over Magadha. But Pasenadi was overthrown, and at the same time the Shakyamuni had suffered a terrible tragedy, and the family was massacred. Prince Mahanama (the only remaining member of Ananda) was killed.
At that time, three powerful warlords ruled over three territories located in the north of the Ganges near the Himalayan mountains, Koliyas, Mallas, and Vajjians proclaiming independence, not surrendering to Arahant.
As the king is also ambushed and merged into the three territories in three territories, especially A Shrine is intended to conquer the Vajjians first.
If in the tragedy of the Shakyamuni because of the heavy karma of the relatives, the Buddha did not protect anything, then for the intention to invade the Vajjians of King A Soap, he greatly helped. Then he indirectly protected the people of the Mallas tribe.
This is the context of political nuance in the last years of the Buddha's life.
The author of the above mentioned symbolizes the following events:
The king had invaded A Chaotian ordered an imperial mandarin named Vassakara to meet the Buddha and tell the Buddha that the king intended to bring troops to conquer the territory of the Vajjians.
When Vasakara raised the king's intention and asked for the Buddha's teachings, the Buddha turned to Venerable Ananda (who was standing behind the deity). Buddha asked Ananda:
- Ananda! How do the Vajjians have seven virtues in their daily lives?
A Nan answered:
- Lord Buddha:
- First, the Vajjians clan often convenes and discusses consensus issues.Secondly, the Vajjians never abolished the old rules.- Third, the Vajjians often hear the advice of the elders.Fourth, the Vajjians never violate the virtues of women.- Fifth, the Vajjians always respect the place of worship.- Sixth Vajjians continue to offer wealth to religious institutions.- Seventh-day Vajjians are ready to protect and guard the true monks.
Waiting for Ananda answered, the Buddha said:
With such seven qualities, no one can deny the great wealth of the Vajjians. And these seven qualities were not before, so they were degenerated. Tathagata has taught them to instill seven qualities! Such a people is a people who can easily protect their heritage, material and spirit.
Listening to the Buddha, Vasskara also praised that:
- There is no need for seven virtues like that! Just one virtue alone is enough to make this tribe thrive.Whenever the Vajjians continued to have seven virtues, they could not be invaded on that day. Those who want to conquer them have to wait until they are divided and introspective.
The high-ranking officials from the Buddha with the intention of going to tell the king that: soldiers to conquer the territory of the Vajjians at this time is a failure.
In Indian society at that time, the belief in the spiritual strength of a very important court. Just to make an aggressor understand that, enough to help the Buddha prevent a war.
Later, when the Buddha entered Nibbana, the Vajjians were annexed, because the nation had gradually abandoned and departed the old virtues, became divisive, no longer united, So they did not keep their territory.
As for the Buddha, which indirectly prevented the king's intentions of invading Aba, he drew a political lesson and applied it to the ecclesial community. He taught Ananda summon them to the seven virtues: If by virtue of these seven virtues a strong nation, how foreigners dare not invade, the seven virtues also to make the Church firmly like this.
Mean:
Firstly, the Sangha should regularly meet and discuss all issues in the community unanimously. Though dissent is also required to be peaceful.Secondly, do not set new laws. (Because law-making rights will be shattered, everyone wants the new law.)- The third is to obey the elders.- Fourth, respect for the Sangha- Fifth, all meditations should be meditated upon- Sixth, diligently eradicating ambition and developing pure preference.- Seventh, always know yourself to see the peace of the Saints, always live in the knowledge of him.
After listing the seven precepts for the Sangha they remember, the Buddha has condensed into a passage about which later we would find many places in the Tripitaka, as follows:
- It is the virtue! That is the security! That is wisdom! When there is peace and virtue, the results of liberation will be firm. Then when wisdom combined with concentration and gender, the results of liberation are not only solid but also great. And when it comes to knowing oneself, the mind will be kept clean by wisdom, from all defilements, from pleasures and ignorance.
The second part of the Nirvana is after these teachings, the Buddha has begun his last lecture. Where people have the grace to welcome the Tower to permeate the truth of liberation, he stopped to give blessings. Or where there is the mighty power to fight war, he also stopped at that place, to use enlightened enlightenment, extinguish the fire of war.
In this historical practice, the Buddha first headed to the Ganges delta through Nalanda, where later a prominent Buddhist university. This place is also the birthplace of the Holy Relics (Sàrìputta). It is here that Sariputta Buddha had separated the Buddha, did not continue the journey with the Master again, returned to save his mother, and died in the village where he was born.
At the last Buddha, Sariputta uttered farewell words, in the name of an apostle as follows:
- The Blessed One! White Enlightenment! Even the words to praise his grace is not equal to four words Enlightened wisdom.
Then the Buddha and many disciples headed to Vesali. This is the capital of the Vajjians, whose virtues have been praised by the people of this land. And a war nearly made by King A Soap, the destruction of the water was also used by the French healed.
One might ask, "Why is the Buddha in his old age, coming here, to enter the 45th of the life of a Buddha?"
If we are deeply troubled, we will find that the presence of the Buddha in this territory has no other purpose than to use His grace to dissuade King A Soap. Capture a small neighboring country.
And in Vesali, Lord Buddha was very sick. A natural and lasting physical activity. He used the power of meditation to dispel all the pain. At the same time, he also did not want to pass away, but did not call all the disciples one last time. The fruition of any human being in this world, which is unavoidable in four laws: Birth, Aging, Disease and Death.
Ananda saw the Buddha is sick and knew it was a strict disease, then extremely sad. He was scared to lose all wisdom. Then, to console himself, Ananda imagined and told the Buddha that;
- The Blessed One! No matter how serious the disease is, a Buddha certainly never enters Nirvana without having summoned all the disciples and given the final testaments.
But the Buddha, suffering pain, said:
- Ananda! As if there is nothing to testify at all! Things are worth telling to the disciples, Tathagatas have been out. There is no longer a secret that can be called a secret to the ultimate testament. As Lai from the time of the present has continued to exist is to rely on the "Buddha body." Do not misunderstand a living Buddha to lead the Church, and before death, the Buddha must prepare every will to transfer power as the kings are attached to the self. . Than Lai is like an old carriage. At the age of 80, the body of the Tathāgata is only peaceful when the mind abides in the jhānas, especially Zen and the Infinite Kindness (animitta céto vimutti). And out of these two meditations, the body of the Tathāgata also suffered from all the ruins of the law of impermanence.
- Ananda! Consider yourself a refuge for yourself. Look at your righteous wisdom as the only means of salvation, for a disciple of the Buddha, who never dares to seek the aid of liberation, frees himself from samsara.
The third part of Mahà Parinibbāna Sutta, also told in Vesali, narrates the anecdote:
- There the Buddha did not stop to cultivate a summer. One day, the Blessed One asked Nananda to take his place and follow him to the great Capala to meditate. After the Buddha and Ananda Sun, instead of Immediate Instinction, He again observed the pure and beautiful surroundings, then the Buddha said as feeling with Ananda that:
"The places in the area have beautiful shades like this, so Lai should stay here, or turn to those places?"
The action of the Buddha was originally a cause, but Ananda did not understand. He did not find any implication in the Buddha's words.
And according to the sutras, Buddhist writers later referred to this statement of the Buddha for analysis, when they confronted other passages in the Tipitaka.
For a Buddha who uttered a pleasing expression or pleasing to the beauty (though pure beauty) is very rare and seems to contradict the dignity of a world completely free.
But the Buddha has spoken out, there must be reasons. And the only reason is to signal his near-incarnation. Not because the Buddha attached beautiful scenery, but because of mercy beings. For the first time 45 years ago, after realizing that Buddhism was so high and because the karmic effects of beings were deep, he hesitated, Brahma appeared in the Buddha's teaching.
Now 45 years of propagation of liberation, if the grace of humanity is still available, then the net will ask him to Dr.
Then the Buddha said, "One who develops the four absolute powers (Iddhipàda) is Anita (patience), diligent, patient, and pure, he can master his own destiny. If you want to extend your life, they can do it. "
It means that a Buddha is more than that, because he has enough four powers, so when someone asks the Buddha to continue living to save sentient beings, he can also perform easily.
According to the venerable sermon on the life (€ yu kappastta), the four powers of a Buddha are capable of making his flesh prolong life with one earthly life. If the Buddha uses the force, he only applies meditation. He can also live to 120 years. In the case of the body of the Buddhist life, such as he was attacked by germs, disease, he can also use Dai Bat Bat to live as long as desired. That is to extend life until the last cell in his body is destroyed by bacteria. And during the use of the Great Dhamma to prolong life, a Buddha knows only Lecture and Dhamma, but he no longer has other activities.
The Buddha did not just say that to Ananda once, but he repeated the second time and then the third time. But Ananda was too anxious, confused, did not understand the meaning of the Buddha's teachings.
The anguish that has come to this darkness of Ananda has been attributed to two causes;
- At first Ananda has not reached the holy Arhat.
- Second is the harassment of Mara (Màra)
According to the story (Màrajàtaka), Ma Vuong was not only just beginning to stir up the health of the Buddha, and those close to the Buddha when his age was in the twilight period, he appeared to ask the Buddha to step out of The three worlds (ie, enter Nirvana) at the moment he attained the Noble Eightfold Path under the Tree of Bodhi.
Buddha was sick at the disease is that Ananda, although anxiety must also be calm, hardworking and careful. But he became absent-minded, an embarrassment that was unusual. This phenomenon of Ananda had occurred before, but only in the moments of the Buddha and the apostles near the Buddha, safe and secure. And it only happened when Ma Vuong was not around to cover his lucid mind. As a result, the life expectancy of Buddhism has not been shortened (less than 5000 years). If not, this realm has not had enough 45 years to enjoy the benefits of a Buddha and the present world because there is no. Buddhism must have a different face. Face to the violence to the "truth" and the constant grief, suffering never ends.
(Retrieved oanh, resentment will be overwhelmed by gratitude, resent dissatisfaction. - According to the French business).
As Buddhists want to thoroughly study the history of the Buddha, we try to analyze the psychological changes of Nanjing while: Is it not just to be obscured by Mr. Masquerade, Any other?
Number is the night after the Buddha wanted the first time Ananda Buddha was called to sit next to him in the first set (First Great Tzu) to chant the late night. Then, after the time, the Buddha ordered the monks who come here to meditate. As Ananda She suddenly told the host to follow him to the Capala Vihara to meditate. A meditation practice with the Buddha, a Buddha, that Ananda Nan from 45 years near the Buddha never dare doubt that he will have such a good luck.
(The precepts, before entering, the Buddha only told Ananda to prepare the equipment in the net for him alone, then the Buddha into Embracing, while Ananda wanted to meditate where, if not too far The habit of making Ananda can predict how long the Buddha's Refining period will take, so that he or she can meditate in his or her vinaya Do not forget to do other work, such as laundry clothes of the Buddha, or to care for the sick old sickness.
But this time, the Buddha told him to go to practice with him, so Ananda felt a sense of joy filled in the heart.
Especially while the god of the Buddha is very normal, it seems that in that day he did not tame the disease. (A Nan know that the Buddha had used Dai Bat Nha to balance body disease). The joy of Ananda is obviously a kind of happiness knowing that he is about to meditate in the aura and concentration of a Buddha.
Then, in a moment of pleasure, Ananda again heard the Buddha praising the beautiful and pure scenery around Capala Meditation, in the desert, so he further added to the concept, forget before Not long a major event occurred: the Buddha has tainted the disease! This is probably the second reason of the "darkness", the reason because long ago Ananda has always loved the Buddha, never had such close moments of intimacy so peaceful! (Sayings of love, because Ananda has not reached the Arhat . So he did not expect the duty to "take the Buddha into Nibbana" is his duty, and is now demanding that he do that duty, which he does not know.
What is regrettable is that Nanan Dafa is the one who is afraid of Buddha Nirvana at the earliest, but when he arrived, he did not know that the Buddha continued to live in the world. Is love, the love of love that is the cause of human spirituality in the dark?
Anyway, if Ma Wang (Màra) not haunts A Nan Da has understood the implication in the Buddha's teachings then. He not only asked once, but a thousand times, he would also willingly pleaded with the Buddha to continue in this world to save sentient beings. And just one word of love, the infinite compassion of the Buddha will spread and He will not soon enter Nirvana.
The need for someone to ask the Buddha "to enter into Nirvana", is a mystery in the Pali canon (Sanskrit). Buddhists who study the metaphysical aspects of Buddhism will find it difficult to understand. In the past we have understood that: The life span of a human life is the result of all the good (evil) confederations that he created in his previous life.
But the Buddha's case is a bit different. Since the Buddha is the last life, so the life of a Buddha is the fruit of the past lives sa sa. There may be some kind of bad or negligible result, located in the remote past did not pursue the Buddha's money, so he did not pay, then when he had to pay the Buddha.People call the results are too weak results are dependent. That is when there is a good reason the Buddha can transform them. Therefore, the life expectancy of a Buddha will be short or long depending on the transformation of the results.
And the reason is just to say that there must be good people love the Buddha to continue life on earth to save beings. When listening to the request, the compassion of a Buddha will automatically spread to infinity and transform the effects of the conditioned virtue.
It is also said that the Buddha is a total omniscient. He knows all the wishes of all beings, so no need for anyone, he will automatically live long life in the world to life!
This is true, but only when the Buddha is in a state of peace, not sick. As the body of the body is raging, and the mind of the Buddha in the meditation, especially the Bat Nha Vo, the light of the Buddha only around his body, but not far away to reach the. Those who are destined to be saved.
Back to the case of Ananda Mara made dark, we try to read in the Tripitaka:
At that time, Nananda obeyed the Buddha, just as he sat under the large tree, not far away from the Buddha, Màra appeared, he repeated what Buddha had promised 45 years ago, When he first attained Enlightenment, it means that the Buddha wanted the Buddha to be enlightened as soon as possible, so that he could never turn Zhuan Falun into the world, but the Buddha replied that he could not. When liberation is not universal, and four classes of good (monk, monk, monk, faith) have not penetrated the Dharma, and not sustainable in the religious life.
Ma Wang finished and then said; "Now that the Buddha has accomplished, so keep your promise and must be Destroyed."
The Buddha replied: "The beings have good affinity with the Tathagata! (He does not say good luck less or more.) As Lai will enter Nibbana in about three months ...!"
A question may arise; "Why did the Buddha declare that he will be the Messiah within the next three months, in the presence of the Matriarch, without his declaration, in front of anyone else?"
Let's try to analyze this point: According to the tried-and-true, Mara is the master of the cycle of life and death, including the Three Realms (sphere, sphere, and sphere). The strongest influence of Mara is the jinn. All forms of matter from matter (such as solids, liquid, pus, blood, organic matter, etc.) to physical and vaporous matter (such as iron, stone, erect, wind, fire, etc.) gas, etc.) are exclusive production of Mara.
When a being is born in the Three Realms, regardless of class, it can be from lower birth, birth or birth, to biochemistry, from animals and humans and heaven etc. "refinement" into the product of Mara to live.
All sentient beings can be compared to the host who is the host. The rent paid to Mara in this case is to cultivate greed, anger and delusion. A Buddha or an Arhat is no longer in debt to the owner of the body. Or, in other words, they have decided not to: "rent the house" in the next life of Mara.He did not nurture greed, anger, si is no longer reborn, want to chase people "to stay" holy place to go to get back the house as soon as possible.The age of death (such as the term of rent) of an Enlightened, though not yet, make it soon, lest the Enlightened One stays longer in this world, the Enlightened ones increase, encouraging one to eradicate greed, hatred and delusion ... step out of the Three Realms,
For another example, the Mara could be likened to a person who builds houses for sale to samsaric beings. The Buddha can be the last home buyer. When the house (referring to the body) became so old, collapsed, he decided not to let Mara build a new house anymore, so Mara angry find every way to chase the Buddha out of the old house, must die) as soon as possible!
So Mara was the first to know that the Buddha no longer needed him. But the ability of the Buddha to stay in the old house, (referring to the body) he has retired, do not know when ever new dry, so he sought to ask Buddha how he he? Marquis himself knows that: Holy Fruit, although very rare, but can appear in the world at any time. There is no limit to what you can do. Just as the results of Chief Justice Chief Justice wants to re-in the Three Realms as long as depending on the coast, but Mara does not know how to avoid or prevent.
Anyway, the Buddha, after the Path, decided not to live a long life as long as life expectancy. He did not use the power to make him immortal. These forces are available in the Buddha's mind. He can grow whenever he wants. But He did not grow.
And when confronted with Mara, the Buddha calmly proclaimed that he would be the Messiah within three months, that is, a way the Buddha indirectly confirmed that he would not use the force of immortality, so the earth must shake And the thunderous thunderbolt has risen ... Because of the extraordinary power that surrounds the earth is the crystallization of the radiant light and humility of the Buddha.
These extraordinary powers have long waited for the Buddha's teachings to become a diamond that protects the Buddha of the Enlightenment until the end of the earth. But these forces were not the Buddha to make the focus to converge, so they show off like that!
When Ananda witnessed the horror of the earth shaking, simultaneously in the air, thunder and lightning emerged. He promptly asked Buddha why, the Buddha replied:
- There are eight causes for the earth to vibrate and the atmosphere is disturbed:
"One, there is a giant creature walking. Second, there is a jhana who attained Zen attained omniscient omens. Third, there is a great Christmas Bodhisattva in the womb. Four, there is a Savior. Year, there is a Buddha. Sixth, there is a Righteous Judge who begins Zhuan Falun. Seven, there is a Buddha who refuses immortality. And eight, there is a promise that Buddha will enter Nirvana. "
As we read this passage, we will find that: The existence of a Buddha, the world which is related to the cosmos, not simply as a mundane life that we are often mistaken. think
To the researchers, the sutras on eight signs, or the eight levels of mastery or the eight levels of Emancipation, are the main themes in the Sutta of Nirvana. And we all know that: in 3 times 8 is 24, there are only eight ways of talking about the miraculous signs (or eight cosmic phenomena), as mentioned above are sometimes mentioned without have an explanation. The other 16 types of topics, including eight proficiency levels and eight degrees of Dissolution, are usually analyzed by the Tibetan and Leninist disciplines.
Who would like to know the three groups of these eight groups, please read the book, The Last Day of the Buddha, published by the Wheel of Wheels (Wheels Publication, Sri Lanka).
In fact, eight strange signs, eight of which cause the ground to move and lightning thunder float) that contains a lot of special mystery. The Buddha, although revealed before, the intellectual property of Ananda also can not understand. So the Buddha did not say and only the phenomenon of color causes Ananda to suffer, so that he remembered that the Buddha was about to enter Nirvana. And the sight of the earth did not suffer the loss of immeasurable virtue, which was about to lose a Buddha, so moved the universe trembling strangely without harming the Ananda hairs. , enough to prove the eternal mystical shade between the Buddha and the universe.
Return to the story of Lord Buddha and Ananda at Zen Meditation Center. After the end of the earthly enlightenment, the Buddha immediately taught him the meditation techniques appropriate to his motives. Mostly to Ananda Evolution.
The Buddha told Ananda to hear what he promised to Mara 45 years ago. He repeats the saying, "A Buddha can not enter Nibbana before the dharma has been fully liberated in the Three Realms."
Then the Buddha said:
- But spent 45 years waiting. Recently, Ma Vuong appeared reminded that: Currently Tathagata has announced the full eight four thousand disciples already. Why did not Tathagata escape? And the Tathagata has promised him that the Tathagata will enter Nirvana in the next three months.
And the Buddha finished the story:
- When the Buddha's mind directed at Nirvana, the Buddha's body has not yet become a diamond, the earth must be vibrated. This phenomenon is not always present, but it happened only three months before the Buddha entered Nirvana.
Ananda hears the sudden panic, kneeling prostrate to ask Buddha to become Kim to live long life. He asked for the first time, and the second time, still see the Buddha sitting quietly, silent.
The gentle Buddha from looking at Ananda said:
- Ananda! It is too late now, because the Buddha's mind has already turned to Nirvana and has eliminated the immortality of the Immortal Life.
But when Ananda asked for the third time, the Buddha suddenly asked Ananda:
- Ananda! Do you believe in the absolute quality of one who has left the Three Realms?
- The Blessed One! Disciple believes like that!
Then the Buddha said:
- If you believe so, why do you insist on doing a task that is three times as long?
Ananda argues that:
- Lord Buddha! The disciples asked the Buddha three times, because the disciple heard the Buddha said a Buddha always has full four absolute power, the ability to transform into diamonds, prolonged life .
The Buddha asked Ananda:
- Ananda! Do you believe what Tathagata says, about the four powers, is it true?
- Lord Buddha! Disciples believe it is true.
The Buddha explained:
- Ananda! The only lucky occasion is never to return! Your request for the eternal buddhist buddha is too late! He can only request the eternal buddhahood now too late! He can only request the Buddha to accept the immortal body when the Buddha's mind has not begun to direct Nirvana. And now his hope is gone.
Then the Buddha added:
- Ananda! If he had previously given Tathagata the eternal nature of life at the right time, then his request has been accepted Tathagata! He forgot that the Buddha had suggested that he do this great thing many times, but he was in darkness to let go. The Buddha was not only reminded him once that he reminded him fifteen times in five different places: A Buddha, when the body was decayed, longevity of life.
The Buddha recalled five places near the city of Vesali, where he suggested that Ananda invites the Buddha not to enter Nirvana (three times in a Buddhist place, a total of fifteen times), but Ananda remain silent, not react at all.
Finally, the Buddha advised Ananda that all things in the Three Realms are always governed by the law of impermanence. And an all-enlightened one never does the opposite of the destiny of sentient beings in the world. The Buddha has promised Mara for three more months to be Killed, a way for those who are left to live, may be saved by him.
Following the Buddha told Ananda to gather the disciples of the disciples in the area to he lectured a lecture praising the community of the development of inner (meditation) and the realization of vipassana, because only These two practices help to preserve the good life, and bring happiness to all.
At the end of the discourse, the Buddha used to declare that he would enter Nibbana within three months.
The word of the translator: At the Buddha's pronouncement on the 15th of the lunar calendar, so later in the Theravada tradition, every year the Buddhists celebrate the " - or the Buddha's Day - on the first full moon day).
Declaring the moment of entering Nirvana, the Buddha uttered many verses, one of which is translated as follows:
As Lai Age ddIn the afternoon,
Nibbana will enter the course.
Specialist disciples need to specialize,
Rong the mind, maintain the coast of grace.
How
happy, sad, sad, self .. only.
Gender that keep not leave,
but stable is the holy life.
Intelligent minds more and more,
Enlightenment will grace, will be good.
Sa disciplines these words, The
day after escape the scene of damn wrong.
(Translated into poetry)
The fourth part of the Nirvana Sutra tells the story of Buddha summarizing His journey after the novitiate, and proclaims that he wants to return to Vesali.
Then on the way to Vesali, the Buddha repeats to the disciples the teachings that he preached, and they were heard. The content is roughly as follows:
- beings are required to continue to reincarnate in the cycle of endless birth, because they did not instill the four learned. The four divine studies he called the Four Noble Truths (Catu ariyasaccàni), are now called by the Buddha four noble practices include:
1. High morality.
2. High heart.
3. Intellectual wisdom.
4. Noble liberation.
Particularly, the Noble Truths are repeated by the Buddha and emphasized many times during his return to Vesai. In particular, he pointed out that the foundation of the noble concentration is the noble virtue (the allusions and the karmic purity).
And at another stop, on the same path, the Buddha gave the Sangha to listen to a method of understanding the Buddhist language, in order to prevent any pupil, do not understand the Buddha's teachings, There will be a standard for learning Buddhism, especially after the Siddhartha.
Those who study the Nirvana Sutra, want to grasp the contents of the passage on "The Way to Learn Buddhist Scriptures '', they can find the evidence in the Vinaya, and the explanation in Tibetan.
If the paragraph is recorded so deeply, subtly and condensed, making them difficult to find meaning, and arise doubts about the art, the author would invite them to read the chapter " Great in English (The Great Authorities), "The Last Days of The Buddha", page 46 will be clear.
The teaching of this method of understanding the Buddha's teachings today is very important, since it is the foundation of the faith of the Buddhists, as they face a number of different suttas, The master of these sutras emphasizes their text and the orthodox Buddhist texts. Most Buddhists can recall the Buddha's teachings to distinguish the Buddhist teachings of the Noble Eightfold Noble Law while still in the money, with the "Buddhist scriptures" recorded in the later scriptures.
