THE FORMATION AND COMMUNICATION  OF THE  FRUIT 
OF FLOWER  TO  JAPAN  .VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.

In the days of the German Shakyamuni, no  writing system   was  popular  in  India .Therefore,   His lectures are remembered and  disseminated  by  words  from the mouth. At that time, when  people  were forced to  memorize what they wanted to remember, they had  the  memory  capacity far beyond  it. The life  of  man  is also less complicated  and busy as it is today. The  disciples  of  the Buddha  which have minded in the morning  and  pure memory , listening intently to attract every  word  of Thich-ca.Therefore, it is almost  certain  that they did not misread the teachings of Shakyamuni.Moreover, after the  Buddha's  passing away , the  disciples  of Him  regularly  organize conferences  to see what they remember have been confused or not. After verifying the authenticity of the word  Buddha , they  fix  the same confusion, they  system  turned the  idea . Therefore, the  words  of Shakyamuni are still kept true even if they are transmitted orally.

Shakyamuni  preached  a lot in his  regular journeys   by  walking  in the vast North Indian region for a  period  of fifty years. He also  preached  in many different ways according to the level of understanding  of the  audience . We  must  note  that interpreting the Buddha  's  teachings  was different from place to place and according  to His disciples , and that with  time , differences in understanding and teaching   Hisdoctrine grew up. However ,  the teachings  of Shakyamuni itself has been  spread  right through  efforts  of the  disciples  Him. No sutra is not holy. The teachings  of Shakyamuni are recorded in the A-jhana sutras, the Sutra-Sutra-Sutra-Sutra, the Sutras of A-di-da and many other Sutras. But only in  the Lotus Sutra , the  basic spirit   of all the  Dharma  of Thich-ca  throughout his active life  was  first  described brightly; in this sutra, the   The  important spirit of all  teachings  has been  combined  and  described in words that are  easy to understand . In other words, in the  Lotus Sutra , the essence  of  Buddhism , the very  core  of the  teachings  Shakyamuni be explained thoroughly by  words  simple  but  effective .

Some people argue about the  relative values   of many different sutras and  nurture the  illusion  that the  relative values  of sutras come from the differences in the teachings  of Shakyamuni. This is a  serious mistake . No public trading by the German-ca  compiled  all. The fact that he taught many lessons to  countless  people for fifty years from his first sermon to the five monks in  the Deer Park  ( Deer Park ) in Varanasi (Three-Lanai) until his  death   at the time he was eighty years old. From many of these lectures, each group of  disciples  and their  followers  put in their own sermons the sermons they heard directly or were told by others. Through  any experience,  we  can study the  teachings  of Germany Thich-ca, Duc Thich-ca is the  Exalted One  who launched the same   intellectual light on  us . Therefore, although  the Lotus Dharma  is the most  wonderful teaching of  many sutras, it also reflects a  basic misconception that   is  disregarded. other sutras by  praising  too much  Dharma Lotus .

Symbol  of  the Lotus Sutra

The Lotus Sutra  is composed in the  form of  a play so that  the  general public of that time can understand it easily. The  compilation  of  efforts  to help people understand the business by presenting the  concept  of abstraction  in the form of  concrete .

For example, in item 1 of  the Lotus Sutra , the "Self", tells that the  aura  emanating from the forehead of  the Buddha  shines eighteen thousand  Buddha realms  in the East, all Buddhas and  disciples  are seen  showing property  everywhere. Thisexpression  means that  the Buddha  carries the heavenly body as well as the earth, that is, He  exists  everywhere, throughout the  whole  universe . Such  descriptions  , such as earth  vibrations  and falling flower rain are also of this type  of symbol . Today, we often with expressions like "I'm afraid to have blood" or "I laugh at my stomach". No one understands those expressions in the original sense. But if we really did not go away, they help convey  a  biologically  active and  effect  the  feeling of  real people say or write. This point gives  us  a key to understanding  the Lotus Sutra . The  important thing is not the "event" but the "truth",  the truth  of the Buddha  's  teachings . Even when  we  encounter things that seem unreal in  the Dhamma , we must also grasp  the truth  behind the surface  of words .

 A translation of the model of Cuyu-ma-la-cross (Kumàrajìva)

Some people brought  the Chinese scriptures  to  China  and translated them into Chinese, but the common version   in East Asia today is the translation of Citta-ma-la-cross. His father  , Kunàrayàna, belonged to a  noble family   in  India , to Kucha, a country in Central Asia, between  India  and  China , and married his king's younger sister. The son of this person is Citta-ma-la-cross (Kumàrajìva), born in 344.  Buddhism flourished at Kucha and at the age of seven, C-ma-la-ma entered a  monastery  with his mother, then, He was sent to  India  to study  Mahayana Buddhism .

It is said that when Kumārajīva returned  home , he found he was Suryasoma capital abilities and his qualities, experience has taught him Saddharma - Pundarika - Sutra (Saddharmapundarika ). He placed his right hand on the forehead of Cain-ma-la-Cross and said: "The sun of  the Buddha  has dived in the West, and the remaining light is about to reach the East. This sutra has a  connection  with the Northeast. Respectfully spread the  sutras there.

Now  think back to  the words of Suryasoma "this prayer there is  contact  with the Northeast",  we  understand that the predictions he had a  meaning  very  deep , and we  are not out of  emotion  since  realized  that the after  Buddhism  reached the greatest development in  Japan , a country far, northeast  India .

Obediently, the  teacher, Cù-ma-la-crosses  decided to  spread  the Dharma flower  in China  to the northeast. But because in China  at that time  frequently  at war and the border localities , the  country  just changed forever,  plan  his was not  done  as easily as he  hoped . However ,  his reputation  as a translator was transmitted throughout China , and in 401, he came to live in Trang An, the capital of the Hau Qin house, at  the invitation. of the king. Cui-ma-la-cross was then sixty-two years old and was ordained as a  monk  and for eight years  until  his death in 431 at the age of seventy, he translated many texts into Chinese.

No  need to  say,  the Lotus Sutra  is the most important experience in business due to his many services. Because he  recognized  many  mistakes  in the Chinese translations that he had read, he held a   very  cautious attitude  toward his owntranslation  . Although he  was fluent in  both  Sanskrit  and Chinese, he still had no intention of  translating Buddhist scriptures into the United States alone,  and gathered many   excellent scholars in both  languages . Again, he  preached the Sutra Sutra before the  presence of the king and others. The  scholars  based on notes from his lectures that each  perform  a  translation of  the Lotus  in Chinese. After the  scholars have  completed  each translation individually and  everyone  has  considered discussing it thoroughly,   they  have finally completed  a standard translation   for the scriptures . It is said that up to two thousand people  participated in  this work  .Therefore,  we  can  assert  conclusions that in the  translation of  the Lotus  from Sanskrit  into his Chinese Cuuma-la-Cross,  teachings  of Shakyamuni is  spread almost  like not  have  misleading .

People have told the  following story  about the translation of Citta-ma-la-cross. King Dao Qin  highly respected the personality and abilities of Cù-ma-la-Thập, wanting him to have a child. So the king urged him to marry. When he was about to die, Mr. Cuuma-la-decade reminded him: "I am  forced  to  break the world  and get married, but I believe that what we have affirmed by words never reacts to  the Buddha  's  intention . If we genuinely  true to what we had said, my own tongue will not burn when the  body  had been burned. " It is said that when  his family  humiliated his body, his tongue alone did not suffer burn  and glow.

Sutra  then plays a  role  very important in  Chinese Buddhism . After  Tri Say , who is revered  as a "Sub-ca Mau-ni" has  research  ultimately  all the  scriptures  of  Buddhism Mahayana  and  Theravada , he  concluded  that  the quartet  authenticity  of  Buddha was included in  the Lotus Sutra , and he wrote marvelous essays  on  the Dhamma Sutra  such as the Dharma  of the  Legend , Phap Hoa Van Cu , and Ma Ha  Chi Quan .Thus,  the Lotus Sutra were  popular  wider to all over  China  and then  imported Japan  through  Goryeo.

The Lotus Sutra  in  Japan

Year 577 is in  the Lotus Sutra  by wormwood-ma-lathap translation are taken to Naniwa (now Osaka) in  Japan  and thirty-seven years later, the Hokke-gisho ( Phap Hoa Nghia number ) 1, the  Paper No.  head First by Japanese language on  the French Dhamma , written by  Prince  Shòoku (574-622). It is said that this is the oldest book written by a Japanese person.

Prince  Shotoku  promulgated  a law called  Constitution  seventeen articles, based on the spirit  of  the Lotus Sutra , and by  the Constitution  , the  Crown Prince  has  set up the first Law in  Japan . Article  downright  has  meaning  is the dawn of  civilization  in Japan  are  done  by  applying  the  spirit  of  the Lotus Sutra . It  has been a thousand and four hundred years now,  spiritual This is still transmitted from  generation  to generation  among  Japanese people  .

Many  monks  Buddhist  famous  in  Japan  efforts to  spread the teachings  of  the Lotus Sutra , which Saicho2, Dogen3, Nichiren4. Especially , Nichiren was put into use in a new life which bear all difficulties getting  heartbroken  and  efforts  spread  of the masses  People .

Nearly seven hundred years have  passed  since Nichiren  died  in 1282.  The doctrine of Shakyamuni has gradually lost  the capacity of it after his  death , but  gain  vitality thanks to the  appearance  of  Sutra Flowers  for seven hundred years between the death of  Prince  Shòtoku and the  appearance  of Nichiren. However , after Nichiren died  seven hundred years,  the spirit of  the Lotus Sutra  to be  forgotten . Some people in  Japan  also believe that they can salvation  only by drum hand and by just repeating the expression includes the full title of  the Lotus Sutra  - "Male-pattern Saddharmapundarika  Sutra", "I am  the refuge  of  the Wonderful Dharma  Lotus Flower" -  or believe  that their  prayers  will be  met  if they only need to worship the chant that Nichiren wrote, focusing on the expression above.

The content and  spirit  of  the Dhamma are  very holy. The  practice of  the  sutrateachings is also holy. We  live life  daily  in a  normal , but by understanding  the teachings  of experience,  trust  it, and  practice  it,  we  try to  come to a  state of consciousness  escaping beyond  illusion  and suffering. We  understand that people need to live in harmony and help each other. If anyone feels like that even for a few hours every day,  his health  and  circumstances  will  naturally  change  into  better  - this is  his true liberation  . So that  everyone  in the world  will get the feel like and live happily  - that  ideas  and aspirations  ultimately  be  described  in  the Lotus Sutra .

Indeed,  the Lotus Sutra  is a  doctrine  of  respect for  people , of self-  perfection  and peace. In  short , it is  humanistic doctrine  . Today, seven hundred years after Nichiren passed away ,  we  must reconstruct the  spirit  of  the Lotus Sutra  and  establish  a life of  good  than to own  us , the  family ,  the society  of  us  and for the whole  world .END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.2/4/2019.
