People often say: " Silence is golden ", meaning that the silence has value noble like real gold. Why is silence so valuable ? Silence has helped matters what the people in your life? This problem sounds like a contradiction. Because, in life, says a communication function extremely important govern every activity of man . Language is capable of conveying all the necessary information help people understand each other better; as means of communication between people with people and between people with community social . Language also represents achieve both mind an affair feel inside of humans . Language is also a means to bring people to the truth of reality , to experience reality . Of course, language is capable of lifting people up to the foot-good-fine then language is also capable of engulfing people in the ring of sin . Here, do not talk a lot about the problem function of language but wanted to talk about the reality of non-verbal, but likely performance chemical solutions is very high, making people become holy more.
In Buddhism language also has a huge role in conveying the teachings of Buddha. Practitioners relied on previous teachings to practice to achieve the peaceful liberation . Certainly, language is not the ultimate truth , but language is only a means to express truth . The Buddha often emphasized : " Necessary Tu-da-la like spending only", all the classics just like a finger pointing at the moon , need to rely on that finger to see the moon , but the finger is not the real moon ; or " Like the example , " the teaching is like a raft used to cross a river, the main purpose is the other shore , then people have to cross the river, but do not cross the river but must have a boat. From reviews this sense, we easily understand the saying: "During the 45 years of preaching fertility I never say a word." Saying that does not mean that Buddhism denies its role and function of the language . Language helps a lot problems in the lives of people .The but in terms of the absolute , the language really can not convey all the value of the truth of reality . Because language is a product of thinking , or of knowledge concepts, categories , and so it has character arbitrary, but deep down inside of the nature of the absolute , the language can not express before. That is the reality nonverbal.
Here I would like to refer to the miraculous silence or unverbality in Buddhism , a Buddhist term that has been expressed in the dialogues of the saints , but it is capable of awakening the potential for enlightenment. , liberation for people .
Speechless , essentially when the mind no longer has the distinction or concept of categories . It cuts off both thought and thought, so it does not undercut reality . Proverbs are no choice , no split, nor the standard evaluation of an event . The silent magic it beyond the boundaries of duality treated , not framed in a value norm with nature conventional clichés. This is true wisdom or called "no knowledge" unstuck in investment is , non-market between the organic and mineral; feet and profanity. No words or silence only be felt between the mind with the mind "certainly interested communications center", when two minds at the touch of a class given then this dialogue has reached further dialogue of languages commonplace.
First, we come across the silence of the Buddha after his enlightenment . The silence is just to contemplate the process of fighting and winning to the direct effect, and also to enjoy moments of peace really after attainment of Supreme Bodhi . This silence also says: " The Buddha's enlightenment is very mysterious , unbelievably difficult, only the wise can understand; also being the preferred craving , appetite craving , making it hard to get is the doctrine the profound magic of this ". When the Buddha preached the student is out of compassion beings , fun board sufferings , should open the presentation means the right subjects to grace turned religion , welfare mortal .
The silence of Buddha at Mount Vulture, as between the assembly of the Buddha put spike shower up, the whole congregation, no one understood what only he Kasyapa smiled enlightenment "Listed Flower of goofy" and Buddha varies Dharma for him Ca Lettuce : " We have the right eye and eye of the Dharma , Nirvana in the mind , real generals , now endow for Ca Lettuce", and then he passed the Dharma shelf:
"French legal obligation outlawry
Outlawry law legal heron
Kim varies outlawry time
The method of law is perfect
(France is inherently lawless , illegal is also French, and now is illegal for him, but that dharma was never dharma).
In the life of the Buddha , we see that most of He still has many strange silences . Whenever anyone comes the problem , the Buddha often silent than answers Normally whenever we disciples answered, sometimes a problem what, if not accepted , the Buddha refused; also accepted He implicitly . The silence also find place in the legal work up ghost of Increase. If the ghost So, the Sangha is silenced by default . If not , the Sangha has an opinion . The silence shows the power of inner self, the consensus of consensus in the spirit of pure harmony .
The silence of the Sangha at United Park Vihara made king Ajatashatru to horror , fear , when Jivaka, a Medical Degree Buddhists led him to an audience with the Buddhist one night: " Hey secretary Jivaka , who betrayed me? Hey khanh Jìvaka, who cheated me? Hey Jìvaka, did you feed me to the enemy ? Why in a mass like this one thousand and two hundred and fifty of them, without a clear throat, without a cough, without a noise? Knowing the fear of the king against a scene of solemn serenity This should Jivaka immediately to avoid the police, and then led the king to the area is the Buddha . Since this audience , King Ashoka has really changed his life into a new direction, the direction of peaceful bliss and liberation . It was during these moments that Aaron began to repent with his mistakes , thanks to the Buddha's power that the King made a great revolution in his life . From a Viking violent evil brutality become a king Buddhists devout holder Tam. That silence does indeed have a special energy capable of transmitting purification from the innermost nature of the inner , eliminating all the defilements of faults to become absolutely pure . This transformation is not forced. Which is completely natural like a quiet cup of water, the sediment settles down. So when you change your viewpoint, there's no opposition , hesitation, or suspicion.
In the prayer verses of the Central Collection , the Buddha emphasized two important jobs of renunciants . It is to discuss the Dharma or to keep the silence of the saints. The first - to discuss the Dharma , implies that the renunciation must focus on learning , research and discussion on the teachings of Buddha to understand the meaning , method and purpose of studying Buddhism . Second job - keeping the silence of the saint, which implies dedicated practice or practice the teachings of Buddha, the specific means of meditation and developing inner according to the Buddha's teachings .
"Silent as the Dharma" is silent inside, is quiet the mind . It means stopping, silencing ideas , thoughts, discriminatory ideas , perceptions or thoughts. It is inner silence , the result of a very basic and profound mental conditioning in Buddhism .
Many of the silence of the Buddha and the Holy increase has really shook switch attention of many people. There are many of the so-called "stubborn" people, but the miraculous silence has captured them. The story between Ma Ming and Revelation is one of the interesting stories about the wonders of silence .
Before you follow Buddhism , Ma Ming was a great master at fame . Nhan listened to the sound of fake Haj Sun , then sought to challenge the war, and bet with his own head. Intelligent code leads practitioners to advance the Sexual venerable mentioned arguments argument : "All languages that could be negative." Rape venerable silence . Ma Minh did not receive the answer or debate of the false revelation , said that this man had lost, so arrogant heart : This false revelation is only nominal, because it cannot refute his argument. Some time later, when he contemplated the matter on his own , Ma Ming suddenly discovered the truth and called them to his disciples and said, "I really lost to the fake Revelation . Because the thesis says, "All language things can be negative." So the premise itself was negated already. Revelation Sun said nothing, of course nothing to be negative. " Then Ma Ming came, in accordance with the covenant, to hand over the head to the fake Buddha . But Mr. Sun said, "I don't need to cut your head, just cut your hair." Since then, Ma Ming worshiped Ton Ton pretend to be a teacher. Of course after doing great master of Mahayana . That means after the silence , Ma Ming spoke again, and said more to revive the dharma .
Of course, in terms of the fake means , between speech and silence , silence is a higher, deeper level of expression . So after reporting the story of false religion , Cu-ma-la-decimal concluded : " Speaking and silence are different but intelligent tones are the same. The point of convergence is unique , but the sign of arrival has a rough appearance . Talking in the place where not talk, all is not equal to not saying in the saying. So, commenting with silence is the magic place of treatise ”
In Vietnam we have the Vo Ngon Thong sect , he is a quiet but intelligent person . While propagating the Buddha Dharma, he also rarely used words, but mostly used the method of mind transmission . According to Him even the impartial transmission must be understood as a non-transmission, without the giver and the receiver and without the object of giving and receiving. It is the silence of this that he was touched by the Forbidden City which later sect Vo Ngon Thong transmitted to so many generations and there was a time of great influence in our country.
In general, from Buddha to Patriarch, they all use the magic silence to customize objects. The silence of this impact large for the consciousness of the people then and now, bring benefits practical , solve a lot of problems without conflict yet. Today between a society full of movement , the environmental pollution is rampant , including the pollution of noise. The era of information technology today increasingly Find ways to make people talk to each other more. But the more he spoke , the more tangled he became , sometimes becoming a " mouth of a sword ", causing misery and hatred to get people apart . In the midst of this, the magic silence really has practical value , not only makes the environment pure and clean but also makes the heart more peaceful . We have the opportunity to look at the interior of his own to find the source of happiness peace making Life has a real meaning .
Since in the silent wonders that, it was found to be the value of authentic life. Then when it comes to communication skills are all derived from the mind true , say smoothly bring benefits for everyone . "Words do not cost you to buy, choose words to say to please each other".END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.26/7/2020.
