He is the main object of Buddhism. From within mankind, as a human being, Prince Sidhāttha was enlightened - into a Buddha. After enlightenment, the Buddha lived with people and helped those who were enlightened. Buddhism arises from India, has spread all over the earth and circulated for the past 25 centuries. This proves that the Buddha's enlightened and liberating experience can help humans build a safe and eternal life. In general, people who ride horses 2,500 years ago and people of the time who come to the moon today are not very different in the need for intellectual life. However, the people of this age who live in the advanced scientific age have the technical facilities provided, and therefore suffer from the special sufferings of the time, so it is necessary to have a better life to cope with suffering. In other words, in this twentieth century,
As we all know, the theology (théisme) is now declining in prestige, especially for the younger generation. The new discoveries of science weaken the supremacy of the theologies, which weigh heavily on metaphysical problems, troublesome rituals. Indirect effects of science and technology such as mechanical life, mental disturbance, the follow-up of new production ... also make people far away from the gods. 
It can be said that some theologians who have not yet come out of the dogma have been confused by the demands of fastidious and unbelievable people. People often ask: "Can these theological gods, after" rebirths "be able to meet somewhat the need for spiritual life and the ideal guidance for those who are awake and seeking for a living? beautiful high in the present? ”
We agree that science and technology are very magical. In recent centuries, advanced science and technology have changed the face of life, giving people many practical amenities and benefits. Science and technology are expanding space, exploring planets, or helping vehicles to replace the heart, liver and lungs ... But science and technology have also been exploited by evil people and powerful forces. used in the purpose of causing suffering to human beings. It is not too much to say that today's science and technology is largely in the hands of military or financiers, and has become a dangerous weapon because it can destroy life and living conditions of humanity easily. Not to mention bombs, poison ... but the change in living conditions caused by industry and consumption habits is also one of the great disasters for humankind. What is worth mentioning here is not criticism, but to see and adjust appropriately to the duality and imperfections of science and technology. To some extent, science is discoveries that are consistent with truth, techniques that are good means of serving mankind, thus benefiting intellectuals and life. However, science and technology cannot be life, not even the ideal that can guide the life of people to gradually reach a beautiful and peaceful place. Techniques are good means of serving mankind, thus benefiting intellectuals and life. However, science and technology cannot be life, not even the ideal that can guide the life of people to gradually reach a beautiful and peaceful place. Techniques are good means of serving mankind, thus benefiting intellectuals and life. However, science and technology cannot be life, not even the ideal that can guide the life of people to gradually reach a beautiful and peaceful place.
Meanwhile, humans cannot live without morality or ideals.Therefore, a beautiful life, an appropriate ideal, that Erich Fromm calls "frames of orientation and devotion", is essential for the peaceful life of people. In other words, we want to complement the shortcomings of science and meet the needs of human life by introducing the path of enlightenment, liberation by the Buddha more than 2,500 years ago. 

THE ROAD OF THE NEW YEAR Some people will ask: "How can the old road outlined for more than 2500 years be suitable for people in this era?" 
Please say: "The value of the road is not in the old or the new, but in the ability to bring people to the destination. The value of the drug in the treatment of the disease, not the date of discovery. Many drugs have been found for a long time but they still cure the disease. Anyway, when introducing this old road, we still hope that people on that road will discover and go on their own with new eyes and feet. ”
Buddhism is a "enlightened morality" that is not dogmatism (dogmatisme). The Buddha always encourages people to follow his enlightened experience to find enlightenment for themselves without the revelation or mediation of the clergy.The Buddha opposed blind beliefs, upheld vigilance and respected the critical spirit. To answer those Kālāma when they asked: "Who should you believe in, Buddha or other preachers?" The Buddha said: "Hey Kāma people, you must not be deceived by rumors. , the words are repeated by many people, not to be deceived by false scriptures, by simple and compelling reasoning, by slanderous consideration of arguments, by easy acceptance and think briefly about a theory, Do not be deceived by convenient conditions for future work, you must eliminate the wrong ideas of those you respect. When people consider this to be wrong, false, which is blamed by the saints, if applied to your life will bring about loss and suffering, then you should remove it. And when people consider this to be right and good, accept it and live it. " 
In principle, the Buddha's teachings on the doctrine of Dependent arising (paticcasamuppada), Anatta (anātta), Impermanence (anicca) ... are very consistent with the findings of science. Because the Buddha only discovered and presented the truth of things (yathābhūtam). Basically awareness, science and Buddhism are the same, because both advocates must understand things by experiment. But Buddhism goes beyond science, because Buddhism is not only enlightened but also liberated. Therefore, Buddhism encourages people to develop their intellect by meditating to understand the truth about people and the universe, and at the same time to destroy internal and external causes of suffering. people and society, in the present as well as in the future.
With a real awareness of life, the Buddha advocates the life of man who is not complete, suffering, but can be changed.Therefore, the Buddha gave a method of liberation: Four noble truths (ariyasacca). No one can deny that some sciences such as health, society ... have helped to overcome human suffering. But it is not right to say that all science and technology advocates to eliminate suffering. Because in fact, although science develops but if people do not apply science and technology in the purpose of peaceful service, then human beings still suffer because of their greed, sadistic nature. Science does not advocate to stop crimes or help people escape from the evil and small ego. Scientific products such as movies, radio, television, weapons and poison kill ...
Indeed, we are people who live in the century with many internal and external constraints and need a liberal ideal to be able to open unreasonable attachments. Today, people eat and drink not to live but to satisfy their attachment to taste, wearing clothes that are not to be hot and hot, but to show off, use cars not to move but to overwhelm others. .. In a nutshell, people put out sophisticated and luxurious lifestyle to attract us to the passion of suffering, not to help us live happily and freely. 
Wanting to escape from this constraint as well as to liberate the suffering of eternal life, we must resort to a beautiful life or an enlightened ideal of liberation. Here we want to remind you: Buddhism is a life that is capable of meeting this need.The Buddha himself said, "Behold, teachers, like the big sea, have only one taste; they are salty; also, the Dharma and the precepts of Tathagata have only one position, that is liberation. ” 
Once we accept enlightenment, liberation is ideal, the direction of science and technology will be adjusted. It means that all the possibilities of science and technology will be used consciously into the work of bringing about the well-being of the person as well as the human society. In other words, science and technology in the future, if there is a complement of Buddhism, will be a science and technology to serve humanity, there is a similar direction to Buddhism as liberation, enlightenment of species. people. That beautiful vision requires a marvelous but difficult synthesis of us from now on. It is each of us who must be wise to see the shortcomings of science and technology, and boldly apply Buddhism to daily life. The following words of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru read during the Buddha's Birthday 2.
"... We live in an era of disputes and war, hatred and brutality, these things are flooding all over the world. Now, the great need for us is to remember the message of Buddha, India's greatest and most noble person, to send us, to you and to all the world. . The message of the two thousand and five hundred years ago of the Buddha is still the living message of today and revered in our hearts. Let us draw from that source of spiritual strength to face the afflictions and difficulties that always threaten to subdue us  . END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.1/6/2019.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.
