STANDARDS   OF ETHICS OF  BUDDHISM.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

Ethics  is one of the forms of  consciousness  society , capable of  maintaining discipline in  the country , that  country  is not  disorder ,  protection of  safety  to  life  the people ,  society . The festival  that  China  used to  create, called "the four noble virtues" (1), multiplying the "common sense", is the expectation of  building  a  peaceful country that is  prosperous  "middle of humanity" and orderrules  . 

With  Buddhism ,  the entire  contents  of thought  Buddha was taking  people  as the root,  sticking  closely  to the  life of  human populations  society , like  a Buddha  step instructions allow water treatment for kings Qin-she-Sa la, Ba-tu-an, A-so-so ..., that is "political morality"; He taught and imparted the principles of living in the same  family  for  Thien Sinh  Tu,  Ngoc Da  Nu, which is "family morality"; The Buddha  once used the verse to teach how to spend  money , to say: capital,  wealth Earn your should split into four parts, one called the charges daily in the  family , part of  the reserve  to  reserve  missed happen uncertain what, in part to help  farmers  relatives  or  friends , a part  of alms  cultivating merit ",  instructing  people  to use  the  right money , is" moral virtue ".

Standards of  morality  Buddhism , implies the  normative  ethics  of  the world , both to  religious  sages worldly appearance . Now discussing the ethical standards  of Buddhism  as follows:

Five precepts ,  Ten good

The five precepts  of  Buddhism  are the "basic morality" of being human, so it must  be  preserved ; Cross charity  is "religion  merit increase  upstream" purify  interior , uplifting personality; karmic cause and effect   is the constant "good and evil morality"   of  the world . Strict punishment  , of course, can get  a temporarypositive effect , but it is not the ultimate way  . Buddhism  takes the  Five Precepts, the  Cross  is considered the moral standard    replication , initiate "not to do the bad, do good deeds," not  infringe upon  the body ,  money ,  honor ,  dignity  of others,  modify  radically  the human heart, that's rotation  as often  there  order , make  social life   become  honest . The Five Precepts ,  the Good Life  is the moral standard   of  Buddhism .

Help people benefit

 Buddhas,  Bodhisattvas  depending the  applications chemistry ,  benefit beings ,  spiritual  help life interests, standards are  consistent  with  Buddhism . In every industry also need help please save life, like teacher / teacher  should  have the  responsibility  "to teach,  impart  knowledge ,  explain  the  problem  doubt"; nursing staff need  morality to  save "life-threatening illnesses, the most life-saving patient"; workers need to  actively work, take production  to thank the  country; traders  need to  buy and sell  business  legally , not to get their  own wealth  ; military for  protecting  the  safety  for  the people  throughout the country, have  bravely  fought,  against  the  invasion  of  enemies . Also, each person can renounce  a problem accept  selfish , follow  the spirit of  ancient virtue  first beat, ie "lo before fear of  heaven , just after the joy of heaven", or  spirit  of Bo slap "If there is one person who is not yet qualified, then  he  must  not hide himself", to help people benefit. Helping people benefit is the moral standard   of  Buddhism .

Prajna is  not wisdom

Bodhisattva  took  Six degrees (2) to build a boat for self-sufficiency and  humanity. What people call "Five degrees (3) as blindness,  Prajna  like bright eyes," that is,  we  otherwise  have  uncivil  intellectual  acumen, they even have  practice ( five degrees ) how much, remains located  within  blessings  compounded not  so  inevitable  in expression of general impairment (4), not the  path  of liberation nirvana  true . For example, the  giving  of  Buddhism  is to want  people Learning  to let go of  volition,  stingy ,  stingy , but where to  generosity ,  need  purification , not  violate  the law  state,  and  people  giving  attention not haughty , arrogant, people get to know Thanks, is  giving  pure  "experimental feature, experimental facilities and  guinea pigs ,  the champions-elect  - not expecting in  three world  -  past ,  present  and future; the supreme mind   that  we are An stay ,  offering all  ten directions to the  Buddha. In addition ,  maintaining the precept of  not  killing , not  lying , no  sexual misconduct , no  stealing , no drinking, etc., is of course  the  Buddha's teaching ( Buddha Dharma), but "kill one save one hundred" (5) of the  Buddha , "drinking wine to save the people" (6) of the  Lady  Māy-profit, the "handling (the situation) in the bridegroom" (7) of the  Most Venerable  Nhat Huu, "burning the heating Buddha" (8) of  Zen Master  Dan Ha , "teaches the thief how to steal" (9) of the  Zen master Thach Oc, etc., are also  Dharma . Compassion  tender  is  Buddhism , but the slapping sounds deafening sticks, voice yelled, hammering type of the pliers, making the  school increased  sterilization  paragraph hope  idea ( dreamy chimera ),  recognize  the hybrid area The item  (inherent appearance), is also  compassionate . Therefore ,  Buddha Dharma , sometimes not the  Dharma ; not the  Dharma , sometimes the  Dharma . "Prajna no wisdom" of  Bodhisattva , capable of making we  give alms  and still  petal  not think of  generosity ,  morality,  which  is not approved  in  the generals ,  resigned  away from  ego ,  diligent  not born  arrogance ,  meditation  does not  linger  on the scene. 

Beijing  Kim Cang  said: "Mind  Bodhisattva practice  generosity  without offices in France, as people have eyes,  daylight  shines, shows  the multitude  of colors". Had  Prajna  not wisdom  tợ bright eyes, then, is to behave  naturally  there could no  longer care  comparable  "big you're small, you're not, you're suffering praises" anymore; Prajna, the  non-wisdom  , is like "from the mother" (gentle mother),  treating  all  sentient beings  as their own children, for those arduous difficulties  naturally  have sympathy that does not leave; Praise like "light" in the room dark, can illuminate the darkness  of ignorance  is  residing  in the heart  exquisite of  us, dissolving the treated  distinction ,  mind not  suffered optimistic as flinch , transforming  qualities  (emotional  world )  attachment of  a large love ( compassion ) for  sentient beings . Prajna  has the capacity to purify  the thought of  us ,  raise the  moral  of  us , once there  uncivil without wisdom , joy-suffering is  homogeneous , clean-minded is  like , rich-poor can be  self - righteous , yes-no can be  equal , as in  the Noble Eight-Sutra Sutra  says: "Mindfulness always knows enough, peace and happiness keep the religion, take  wisdom  as a career ”. The goods that serve the mind  (wonderfully) are like that with  Prajna,  without wisdom , "all living  beings , all  go into the  Immeasurable Nirvana  and destroy the level". Prajna  not  true wisdom is the moral standard   of  Buddhism .

Standards of  ethics  of  Buddhism , taking  rules  ( rules )  Five Precepts  ten perfections ,  complete  personality; taking the life of helping the saints of the  saints , to uplift  the  morality; take  Prajna  no knowledge  of  the Bodhisattva , to  intelligent mind  is emptiness . Furthermore, life  reality ,  the three school presented the  Property, four types of  mindfulness , the eight types of  the religion , as well as  herbalists  are capable  Therapy inveterate disease  of greed and  hatred  of  us , have the ability to make  the body and mind  we  purity ,  morality  reaches  fullness . Comment briefly that human  stem  larger love from  benefits  the community ,  and  not contrary to the common law (rules,  discipline ) of  the earth  and  the spirit of  Mahayana  many useful  charming  of  Bodhisattvas , are  in accordance  with the moral standards   of Buddhism . For example:  Alms  of love , not remembering to think of the old evil,  shameful of virtue,  keeping the  green base  (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind), "you have not invited and come" (10),  means  of crafting,  benefit of friendship  (  benefit  for  sentient beings ), universal  donation  ( offering ,  giving alms  to all  sentient beings ), four gratitude to  repay (11),  propagating Dharma  benefits ,  respect for tolerance ,  moderate gentleness ,  Loving  praise ,  preserving righteous , etc .., are normative  moral  purity  , virtue and beauty  of  Buddhism. Also , learning  pronouns ,  great compassion ,  great location ,  great volunteer ,  great virtues  of the Buddha and  bodhisattvas ,  found Bodhicitta , do not  throw away  the  salvation  beings  are propelled into  the army against (12)  heinous ( 13), this is the  moral  perfection , the  most salvage of  Buddhism .  n
