Buddhism has been in this world for more than 2600 years but countless people look with skeptical eyes, but whoever has tasted the taste of the Dharma can see the inconceivable merit of Buddhism.

THE BUDDHISM IS THE HORSE I.

 

Buddhism is the path that takes us step by step back to the homeland of peace, happiness, or Buddhism, a method that helps people to cultivate until enlightenment is freed and becomes a Buddha. Standing on the nature of the pure mind, Buddhism is the availability of all sentient beings, Buddhism is a map that helps people navigate the path to their homeland to be fully enlightened and liberated.

Buddhism was enlightened by humans to serve people. Buddhism takes people as the root. Buddhism satisfies the noble and profound aspirations of man, and can also endure the stress and pollution of everyday life, helping people to interact with fellow humans, in addition to Give a purpose to live. Buddhism does not spread fear in the heart. "Good will bring good, and evil will bring bad", "Every action has consequences". Those are the laws of nature. Buddhism is fully in accordance with that law, according to which the human being "Sows whatever he will reap." All human misery in this life is not due to external influences but by actions created by people in the present time or in past lives or near or far.

All crazy delusions are the manifestation of greed, anger and ignorance, when the silent delusion is the presence of money and it is often clearly known. The awareness or the mind of the Buddha is the unending body of each one of us, it is hidden in this impermanent body of old age-disease-death. All sentient beings have a clear sense of enlightenment because they lose themselves and forget, so Shakyamuni Buddha was born to teach us to wake up again to recognize the priceless gem.

The lofty example of the Buddha is an inspiration to all. His teachings of peace and tolerance have been received by all with joy and relentless benefit to anyone with the opportunity to hear and practice. Iron will, wisdom, love, boundless compassion, selflessness, complete purity, exemplary practices used to spread His teachings and ultimate attainment, all That factor has motivated many people in this world to honor Buddha as a supreme master. Buddha sacrificed the pleasures of the world because of his son's suffering in search of truth and pointed out the way to escape suffering. He was a perfect scientist in the field of life, so perfect that the teachings of the man were claimed to be the only moral teaching. His virtue is the ultimate symbol. He is the perfect model for all the virtues that he preached. Buddha's life is not contaminated at all.

Buddha pointed out the way to peace, happiness and salvation for people. His path is so generous, reasonable, understandable and directed to enlightenment. His teachings can contribute the best to human happiness. The Buddha's teachings illuminate the path through which people can escape suffering to come to a life full of light, love, peace and happiness.

He taught the religion to liberate people, the Buddha is a teacher, a friend, lives with people, understands people and loves them deeply. Man suffers because he lives far from nature, lives against nature. Man is not aware of his own being, does not understand what he is. Man does not have a clear perception of being and the nature of being. Buddha discovered on the way to practice the methods that help him come to realize the value and nature of being. In direct contact with that mysterious life force, His spirit suddenly became sublime, clear, His personality became super-magnificent. And in history, people have seen that miraculous flow of life force manifested and flexible in the Buddha.

The human world is immersed in a sea of ​​misery and suffering, so being reborn between three and six realms without stopping, Buddhism was born to help people escape misery but to live in peace and happiness. blessed. Buddhism comes to sentient beings through human love in life, always helping us to rise above life's pitfalls. Buddhism will not help others if they do not deeply believe in cause and effect and do not believe that they are the owners of so many blessings.

Buddhism has been in this world for more than 2600 years but countless people look with skeptical eyes, but whoever has tasted the taste of the Dharma can see the inconceivable merit of Buddhism. To everyone is necessary, is extremely respectable and precious.

The purpose of Buddhism is to find the truth of body and mind and situation. We must say what is true so that people understand Buddhism correctly without any doubt. Destroying the superstitious practices of other legends interfering with obscuring Buddhism is an extremely important necessity to help people deeply believe in cause and effect, according to the principle of dependent origination, good deeds, blessedness, and evil, suffering. pain. 

Buddhism is like a lighthouse guiding people to peace, happiness and happiness. People must go to the point of realizing that the moral development according to the Buddha's teaching will be a necessary condition for bringing about peacefulness and happiness for people.

The purpose of Buddhist practice is to achieve a clear awareness of reality (Tri), a great love for all people and all species (Bi) and a strong will to accomplish the vow to help life (Dung) ). Buddhism is not a religion that places man and the destiny of everyone under the control of a god or a god. Buddhism requires us to exercise wisdom, love, and will in ourselves and in society. Buddhism is the religion of liberation and enlightenment. Only wisdom is the only means that brings people to shore for liberation and enlightenment.

First, we need to have a clear understanding of Buddhism and apply the Buddha's teachings in our daily life in order to become a true Buddhist. Currently, we are living in the era of material civilization under the approach of modern science, so it is necessary to spread Buddhism in accordance with the basis and level of everyone while retaining the essence of awareness. enlightenment and liberation. 

Everyone who wants to be a good person also fulfills his duty to his family and relatives and contributes to the benefits of society; further go is the achievement of full merit by keeping the mind pure, not doing evil deeds, diligently doing good deeds, and sharing joy and suffering together with a loving and understanding heart.

A person who wants to turn to Buddhism must first understand the meaning and purpose of Buddhism. First of all, we must understand the Buddha's teachings on humanitarianism, how to live properly in human dealings without harming others. 

We want to understand what the purpose of it is. The purpose of Buddhism is self-discipline, enlightenment, and full-blissful enlightenment, that is, blessing, but practicing the Bodhisattva path until it becomes a fullness Buddha. When we understand and then develop deep faith in Buddhism and determination to practice avoiding evil to do good to bring happiness, happiness for yourself, your family, your loved ones and good service to society. 

The Buddha's teachings first taught us not to do evil deeds, to diligently do good deeds, to keep the three karmic actions of our mouth and mind clean.

How evil is that? These are thoughts, words, and actions that harm others now and in the future.

How is good? These are thoughts, words and deeds that benefit us and our people today and tomorrow. How is pure thought?

It is a right thought, not selfish greed, no anger, no jealousy, no consequences for you and others. Pure thoughts are expressed through words, gentle words, when manifested in action, genuine actions make us and everyone happy, right here and now.

We want to implement the three principles above to be complete, where must the present begin? First, we will generate true faith in the Three Jewels. How is true faith? It is to believe that the teachings of the Buddha have practical benefits for all, as we believe that sowing good causes good results, and bad causes will result.

Good and bad cause and effect will follow us like a shadow, even though hundreds of thousands of lifetimes are still not lost, when predestined karmic retribution comes immediately. On the contrary, we do not believe ambiguous, unrealistic things that are unreasonable in terms of cause and effect. As we do not believe that there is a god god blessing the disaster is exactly the Buddha's teaching, because the cause and effect are so irresponsible, no one can replace anyone.

When a person knows how to go to a temple, worship Buddha, worship Buddha, recite sutras, repent, do merit, make offerings, listen to Buddhist monks and nuns, or attend ceremonies or retreats, that means he or she has confirmed that he is Buddha death. But to become a true Buddhist we need to know what the core purpose of Buddhism is.

Buddhism does not force Buddhists to practice what they cannot yet do, but we must try to apply the basics by avoiding evil to do good so that we do not harm ourselves or others.

There are people who go to the temple to pray for the accident to overcome, pray for their healthy and peaceful families, and the life will be better and better. There is nothing wrong with praying but not for the ultimate goal of Buddhism.

There are many women who think they are guilty of being bound, in this life, it is easy for enlightenment to liberate samsara and so they go to the temple to pray for the next life to turn women into men and renunciate as monks of great virtue. They do not understand that in order for a female body to become a male body, one must give up the attachment of attachment.

There are those who, due to the circumstances of their lives, suffer from sorrow and suffering from adversity, so they come to the temple to pray for the present and the future to no longer encounter any unsatisfactory scenes. Such a course is certainly good but not suitable for the ultimate goal of Buddhism.

There are those who feel that worldly life is nothing solid, long-term, whether rich or high-ranking still has to worry and suffer both body and mind. They long for, hoping to go to the temple so that the afterlife will be born in the heavens to enjoy lasting material pleasures. Such a prayer is also a good thing but does not suit the ultimate goal of Buddhism.

When we have shown ourselves the right path, we need to get used to getting used to the path we have drawn. Anyone who visits the temple for the first time will feel strange and unfamiliar. From the vocative way to the forms and rituals in the temple make us surprised and uneasy.

There are people from small to large have never stepped foot to the temple, now suddenly came to the temple and headed for the Three Jewels and then took the refuge ceremony on their own as a disciple of Buddha. People with little understanding when they want to do something, they will learn and consult first and then decide.

The purpose of Buddhism is full enlightenment, which should be compared to the beads of Mani, the torch, the lamp. When it comes to Buddhism, it is about enlightenment and liberation, so all forms of superstition currently in Buddhism are caused by outside interference, not true Buddhism.

We apply the Buddha's teachings in our daily life and will produce good results according to our choices. In the teachings of Buddhism, there are many hierarchical divisions for people to depend on their minds and aspirations to apply the practice of the five redundant Buddhas, the three Mahayana Buddhism and the most Buddhist vehicles.

The word "redundant" here is for example a car carrying people. We later want to be reborn as a human being, we must take refuge in the Three Jewels and practice the five moral things. From the human position we want to be reborn in the heavens, we have to practice the 10 Protestant things and the divinities. From the human position we want to attain the fruits of Thanh Van, we have to apply the Four Noble Truths to practice.

From the human position we want to attain the Pratyekabuddha position, also known as Bich-chi Buddha, we must practice the twelve conditions. From the human position to the result of the Bodhisattva we have to practice the six thousand degrees of happiness. From the position where people want to go straight to Buddhahood, we have to apply the "mind of the Buddha" method, believing our mind is Buddha to practice.

Buddhism was born depending on the disease for the medicine, depending on the taste of the people, established many disciplines for us to choose. That is the skillful means of the Buddha on the way to propagate the level of birth. The ultimate goal of Buddhism is to make all people fully Buddhas. Here we only speak directly to the methods of practice and the teachings of the Buddha called Sutta by reasonableness, opportunity and timeliness.

The Buddha's teachings that teach the right truth should be called reasonable, but the teachings must also be based on the fundamentals and qualifications of the current people to apply and practice them. Logically, muscle is the two necessary conditions that the instructor needs to understand this place.

If we only follow people's interests, we will lose the cause and effect foundation, unknowingly we make people more and more superstitious and hinder the spiritual path. People who propagate Buddhism must have experience while studying, so that the body and mind are pure and lucid in order to guide people to practice the Buddha's teachings correctly.

At any time, we can use the Buddha Dharma to help people get rid of the sea of ​​misery, which is timely. The Buddha's teaching is a bright torch that leads people out of ignorance, darkness, obscurity. Buddhists have in hand the torch light will certainly escape the cloud of darkness, darkness.

We have to make sure the lamp of Dharma is continually in this world. The Buddha's grace is a gift of hardship, for which we must be committed to life in order to save sentient beings. The most practical salvation is to share the joys and joys of those present in the present so that they can rise above the dark fate and renew themselves. True Buddhism is very practical and will accompany all people in all directions with a heart of love and understanding.

People who want to be free from suffering and fear, practice wisdom and compassion. Buddhism sees the intellect as a sword, and only the wisdom sword cuts the enemy, which is ignorance. Bodhisattva Manjushri is the image of great wisdom and mindless means (Duy Ma). Thus, Buddhism plays the role of intellect, occupying a key position. Only human intelligence can eradicate suffering, bring joy to all species, lead to peace and happiness.

Even though the wisdom needed to attain liberation is not enough. But need to trouble associating with compassion. Compassion can be compared as a car carrying people to the door of liberation, which is the real key to opening the door of wisdom. Compassion brings the greatest happiness to people, simply because compassion transcends all others. The need for love lies in the survival of man. It is the result of the indispensable interdependence, the ability and skills of an individual that are there, but for them to live separately, they will not exist. Interdependence is a basic law of nature. Not only high-class creatures but also the smallest insects living on this planet have to rely on each other to survive. Therefore human existence is so dependent on the help of others that the need for human love is a decisive factor for existence. So, anywhere, anytime, love is the most important nutritional material of all.

We have known humans have existed for hundreds of thousands of years. Today, the world's population is skyrocketing like never before, though wars are still on. This is to say that compassion is always superior to other things. Although people are beautiful, ugly, and different social status, everyone wants to be happy and not want to suffer. Moreover, the human right is to overcome suffering and to attain happiness. At this point, we can realize that all people are equal in their pursuit of happiness, and have the right to gain. Realize that compassion will develop. Mercy is to help people get rid of the obstacles of suffering. Compassion is the virtue of loving kindness, gentleness, affectionate peace, sympathy ... we can say that compassion is what makes our heart soft, A sincere desire for all to live happily is the motivation that makes the mind vibrate before the suffering of others. So, compassion is something too big, too strong and too great. The desire to practice compassion is to help others, to care for the peace of others, to serve, to make more friends. If we forget the happiness of others, then we too will be forgotten by others at the same time.

In this day and age, when people have money and power, when everything in this world goes well, people often feel like they need you less. But when status and health decline, people quickly realize the need for their friends. Human affection is more important than anything, and this tiny planet is the home for all. Once we view everyone in this home as brothers, it is easy to remove the arrogant, divisive motivations and it is also easy to distance ourselves from the deceit and abuse between people. The key to a peaceful and happy world is the growth of compassion. People today, more than ever, need compassion. Only compassion is the car that carries people to the rescue. Mercy is the motivation that makes the mind vibrate before the suffering of others,

Buddhism is the religion that liberates people through the suffering of samsara. In suffering man has the mind and the courage to overpower it. The will to overcome all suffering is a mental power, inner health, a constant effort of active work of the mind and all actions aimed at liberating oneself and others. . People need to have the mind to overcome all obstacles. Obstacles and adversities can only make Buddhists more energetic and will-striving. "Do not live passively in fear of fear or waiting for a salvation to save. Always be persistent, constantly striving, until the end, to free yourself."

It can be seen that the intellect, compassion and the will of oneself in society have created a very important capacity that can accomplish everything to free from the suffering that brings people to peace and happiness. happy. The compassionate mind, which is in harmony with the iron will, is the noble qualities of Buddhists, helping people to become perfect and lead a peaceful and happy life. If everyone tries with the iron will to bring wisdom and compassion to the people, then this world will become a paradise where all sentient beings can live happily in brotherhood and each person Become an ideal citizen in a peaceful world

Buddhism is the enlightened religion, the human religion, the religion of love, because of the people, Buddhism brings joy and happiness to those who have sufficient conditions. In order to have true happiness and happiness, Buddhists need to be well-intentioned and pray for progress in high determination. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.28/6/2020.
