Moonlight with truth meaning in the night of enlightenment.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

Along with endless time, boundless space, beauty also exists with a very significant meaning that it is difficult for people to discover thoroughly by their knowledge. The life of Buddha is a powerful history towards seeking beauty and building the ideal of beauty in life.

The doctrine he established is an internal system of experimental aesthetics, which has a very rich meaning for human life. The vividness of His ideology is that, from what is achieved by himself, by all means He seeks to develop for all to be possessed. That is the miraculous meaning of the finger of beauty - the moon. That moon is the symbol that contains the full truth of the meaning of life not only for the human category, but also for all things in this universe. Therefore, the existential meaning of the moonlight on the truth in the night of enlightenment of the hermit Siddhattha Gotama not only has the symbolic meaning of beauty, but also aims to build a perfect beauty for a situation. humanity and establishing the symbol of truth about dharma.

THE MEANING OF BEAUTIFUL AWARENESS

There is a special feature that the Buddhist tradition notes that most of the important events in Buddha's life take place on full moon nights. He was born on the full moon night of April, ordained and annihilated on the full moon night in February, and especially the brightest point was the martyrdom of the full moon night of December. This is a reasonable point to start a new ideology about the meaning of truth that has both aesthetic and liberal value through the moonlight that the hermit Siddhattha wants to establish.

In terms of art, it can be said that moonlight is the most complete image to express the beauty and meaning of existence. Now the moon is also an endless source of inspiration for the artist's soul to lead to birth. dynamic in the art world. Even a brave hero who is only used to warfare like Trần Hưng Đạo and does not resist the excitement of a "moon landing" and then senses:

"The night of resting at the wharf of the moon is 
suddenly or full of strange animals 
.

But it can be seen, it is because perfection is not governed by its limitations, which makes the perception influenced by human limitations forming "disabilities" in the mind. . That is, the same moonlight, but when it comes to the soul, it sometimes makes people feel lonely and overwhelmed to the point, sometimes it is sad, sometimes it creates a feeling of indulgence. profound, sometimes a leisurely innocence ... That all can be the moods to be attained in the soul of worldly artists. Because the height of earthly art is judged as a loss in aesthetic contact. And this loss is the criterion for determining the level of passion or ecstasy in art. The famous Dong Pha anecdote misunderstanding the word "minh Nguyet" in the verse of Vuong An Thach is one of the proofs for that aesthetic "disability". It was probably due to the ill effects of the poet's soul being haunted by her "lunar eclipse", but he also once had the wrong time in his mind when watching the full moon on the Xich Bich river: "hope the beauty of the celestial beauty especially "- beautiful beauty looks like the sky.

And also because of the disability because of the disease of drunken love with "her lunar", Ly Bach has dived into the river to have to embrace the moon and die, not seeing the wrong time.

Perhaps because of that reason, the Buddha seems to oppose the fascinating personality of all forms of art. According to him, art has an emotional effect and moves emotions away, evoking a sense of harmony, making it difficult for the mind to look inward. It tends to arouse exciting passions, while His view is to calm desire. Therefore, in the basic study of the Buddha, the Buddha taught that: "Uncertain dance, chant, and skill; disrespect, hearing "- do not sing, dance, sing, play; and also not allowed to see, listen. However, we also see the Buddha does not deny absolutely the artistic nature of a positive tendency as in the School of the Ministry. After listening to a piece of music performed by the Qian Shen musician, the name Wu Ke performed,

It can be said that the atmosphere is always needed for human life, but each person has a different breath according to their physical condition and mood. Also, the beauty of the moonlight in particular and the beauty in art in general is always an indispensable part of life. But how it affects life is due to the attitudes and feelings of each person. That moonlight too, but it is bright or burial, lost or passionate, sad or happy, moving or pure ... depends on each person's mood. But anyway, I agree with Plato's view - an ancient Greek philosopher: "beauty is the aura of truth and goodness". That is the beauty of liberal arts in the Zen master. The Zen master never looks back, the mind also escapes the passion to enter into the principle of inner light shining that Buddhism calls chon .

" Reaching the heart of optical glass like Nguyet 
Doctor of pre-painting fake bar."

-Take people to be as clear as the moon 
Before the young young hermit knows.

That is the style of watching the moon of a Buddhist artist. Before the fantasy of the moon, the Buddhist artist looked at the moon not to bring his soul into the enchantment of fascinating colors, but to relate to the plane of consciousness to see things. illusory fantasy, to find the true world of liberal liberation:

" A ha moon crushed sesame half 
Experiencing yellow shirt dragon riders roadside 
dust obscured his leadership fuzzy 
Quiveringly stepped down not dream image"

It is clear that there is no need to have an audience about a new beauty when it comes out of the emotional level, but it can all be beautiful and beautiful. At this time, there is only the merging in the dharmas to incarnate into the infinity of the world of meaningful coloration according to the Buddhist perspective:

" In the moment - find the eternal, 
See the immense world - in every grain of sand, 
In the palm - see the endless, 
And see the whole sky - in a flower."

MEANING OF CONFIRMATION OF BEAUTIFUL CODE

In the journey to find beauty, if the folk artist who followed a distant call sympathized with the blood vessels sobbing in the soul, the Buddhist artist turned to the real place in itself. . The true principle of this reality stems from a perfect personality. The ideal of aesthetic Buddhism is that "Achieving Enlightenment", or saying according to the Greek maxim, is "Achieve your physical nature". In the process of building that ideal, there is always a great challenge, which is a tough confrontation between will, energy, and spirit of confusion. All of them are evidenced by the internal combat process for the Buddha's enlightenment. That proof we can also associate through the existence of moonlight in the process of perfecting the aesthetic value in it.

If the sun is always natural, there is no kind of birth; on the contrary, the moon is a full-fledged star, an existing star that obeys the common law of birth. Like humans, the moon has a touching history of its decline as an inevitable part of samsara. The silence of the moon into darkness is not permanent. It is itself resurrected by its own operating ability. It is a symbol of human liberation capacity that is promoted in the cycle of rotation by one's own capacity. The unbelievable feedback on the full moon's primitive form is a symbol of the fullness of the "Nature Creation". Thus, it is the endless cycle that makes the moon the essence of an extremely vivid living rhythm.

The light of the full moon did not appear suddenly like a lightning bolt, nor was it as fierce as the midday sunlight, but it could shed light on the universe.

" Moonlight silver and blue, look at all the places where the hybrids are bright; 
Soft Willow flowers good, fainting of birth and death of the Japanese ginseng .

The enlightenment or the enlightenment of the Buddha does not abruptly explode like a bolt of lightning interrupting a haunting cloud, but a process of dispelling all the fears of confusion, so that in the end is self-enlightenment and show all directions; And so the ignorance screen disappears, like "when the light appears, the darkness fades away". According to the Buddha's account in the Central Sutra (MN-36), we see that the Buddha's enlightened event lasts throughout the three seasons. This is in accordance with his determination: "His teachings follow a sequential process, there is no sudden spontaneous incarnation of knowledge; for example, the coast is not abruptly deep down, but gradually subside. "

Thus, we can imagine Buddha's enlightenment lasting for many hours. With an extremely lucid mind, all his intellectual abilities are mobilized and gathered at the same time, to shine like the moon. There is no such thing as "ecstasy" in this enlightenment, because it is not a state outside of being self-conscious or introspective. The way of seeking this state of Buddha is not blind blindness in the dark night. He knows exactly who the object needs to be. He looked straight at the reality (the Noble Truth) of life, found the cause (The Noble Truths), and determined the path towards (the Noble Truth). Thus, it must be a process of the functioning of intellectual power to give the light source of truth that radiates a wonderful use as the moonlight on the night of the enlightenment.

That enlightenment goes even further to develop knowledge into many new cognitive areas. The knowledge that he discovered outside with the inner wisdom in mind is as harmonious as the crystal blocks that form into a pure teaching like the moon. In the luminous light of enlightenment, a new ideology created from new and old elements miraculously merges, and finally transcends all knowledge to become universal truth. show all beings.

The original Buddhist tradition said that the supreme enlightenment of the Buddha turned him from an artist into a thinker and eventually surpassed everything to become a witness of truth. What is rare is that the Buddha's creative idea proves to continue even after he is enlightened. That is the meaning of the continuous development of the moonlight source, which represents the eternal value of the truth that is experienced by the Buddha. That truth is the principle of infinite operation throughout space and does not change at the same time, which Nguyen Du ta blames:

" Naturally, not a full-moon period, 
Medical unconcerned the former yacht".

In the absence of the bright moon in the beginning of the year, 
It is still natural in beautiful colors.

And that truth is also crazy by the modernized self-meditative poet Bui Christmas, asking for "The same death" wandering in this life:

"I came back a few centuries later, 
Seeing the moon see that color."

If the light of the moon is a union of natural miracles, dispelling the death of the night, spreading throughout all kinds; then the gentle light of Buddha radiates through the boundless body, dissolving every darkness of extremist radicals in the heart of humanity. How beautiful it is when the two internal and external lights are in perfect harmony in the endless light, making the whole depths of life best enlightened:

MEANING OF LEGAL LEGAL SETTING

Thought cannot be complete without the minimum support of symbolic language. To go into symbolic interpretation, not only rely on the means of communication in the universe, but also the meaning of words but also the experience of it. The meaning of symbolism is the one in which we face the truth in a way that is necessary to grasp the reality that is indicated in them. Therefore, symbolic experience is a fundamental weak slap that helps us to grow in truth.

If words can convey all things in this world completely, then perhaps there will not be an image that is considered to be a symbol of higher things. Is it the limit of that language that every dharma still possesses something of its own mystery. To explore the mysterious and miraculous regions, the rest is to find the truth with the source of the depressed mind beyond the language. So the Buddha declared: "It is necessary to practice the Buddha's teachings as if it were the only moon" - all Buddhist scriptures are only fingers pointing to the moon. That is the value of the calm naturalization that the Buddha could enter in the pure being under the moonlight of the night of the path to then form the symbolic thought of truth.

The criterion of the crystallization of the moon of enlightened knowledge in meditation is: "To isolate the ideological and pagan teachings, direct the human mind and the mind to become Buddha". That method of witnessing is typical at the beginning of the laughter of Mr. Ca Lettuce when the Buddha brought the lotus flower between the congregation in Linh Son. And is it also because of the "disability" of the "righteous" language, which is the tranquility meditation, that novelist Ngo Thua An set up the final accident of Duong Tang teachers and students on Thong Thien Ha river in Journey to the West? . Because of the fact that the Tripitaka and the Venerable Master had witnessed the result, A-Nan and Ca-Houttas gave the Unconscious Truthfulness (Unspoken Theory) that Buddha declared at the end of his life: "Suot 49 years, Tathagata does not say one. word". Seeing the Sutra "unselfishly" the Tripitaka changed the "righteous" Sutra. Because I did not fulfill the promise of asking about the turtle's life for the turtle, Thuy Nguyen, so the Tripitaka teachers were thrown into the river, making all the "organic" Sutras to be wet. When he was wet, he had to dry, and when he was in the Bible, the last page was stuck to the peeled stone, and the Kinh lacked the end. Lacking the conclusion, the "self-righteous" scriptures become "unsurpassed" sutras. So the karma of self-acceptance is resolved and the Tripitaka no longer has an accident.

It was also the death that Tran Nhan Tong was aware of in Huu Cu Vo Cu post:

" Owning an 
old self-defeating owl 
Forget the watch moon Finger 
drowning on the shore".

Moonlight is seen as a symbol of silence (verbal) or the body of truth. For Bodhisattvas, silence is a characteristic of awareness: "Silence is a birthplace of power, silence is synonymous with ultimate power." When the silence is reached, that is to reach the peak of the unity of man and the reality of sociality:

" Sitting in the garden of the lunar calendar 
Kissing a new moon, 
Listen to the joy of laughing and 
running.

All attachment, whether positive or negative, is delusion. It was because of the attachment that he had to be confined forever, like a spider holding itself in a net made by itself. Beyond all clinging is the transcendental state of the principle of unconscious tranquility in meditation, also known as the Three-Lama state in which Buddhism is directed. that is to be able to enter the moonlight truthfully between the land of tranquility and tranquility:

" A body leisurely breaks off all conditions 
More than forty years of illusions, 
Remind you not to ask 
the other side of the moon wide and boundless." 
Phap Loa

And the domain "On the other side of the boundless broad moon" is portrayed through the painting of Zen master Siddhattha sitting calmly and innocently with limp eyes staring toward the moonlight shining far away in the sky, as evoking in our mind a joy of free self-leisure.

Finally, on the still full moon night of the Sala forest, the Buddha graciously gave the entire disciple a piety with earnest teachings such as sending back all the heart of his life: "When it comes to the foot reason, Tathagata had no clenched fist of the teacher who wanted to keep anything. ”So the truth was set by him and developed brightly in the world like the symbol of a round face full of enlightenment.

As time went by, everything was, is and will be pale in its dust, only the full-blown jade is still shining brightly with eternity. Although the Buddha has long since passed away, we still see Him as close to us, His voice still echoing in our ears, telling me not to leave striving, calm down. but dealing with hope, look directly into life to realize greater opportunities, train yourself to become a great personality, a good and beautiful leg in your life. Through the meaning of being religious, wishing you all know that striving to perfect yourself to become an existence full of meaning of beauty and beyond is a symbol of this life.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.28/5/2019.
