| | | The full moon of the seventh month of the lunar calendar annually is the day of amnesty for the dead. It is literally called the day of worshiping the soul. But this is also a day of filial piety that Buddhist monks and nuns call Vu Lan's holiday. So is this ceremony and the ceremony to worship the soul is the same or not? And where is the origin of the two "Vu Lan"? The Vu Lan ceremony stems from the story of filial piety of Mr. Ma Ha Mot Gia La, often called Dai Muc Kien Lien, or Muc Lien for short. Being a monk of different faith, Muc Lien later took refuge and became a great disciple of the Buddha, attained six miraculous powers and was classified as the first of his disciples. After witnessing Arhat, Muc Lien pityingly remembers his mother, then looked down at the realms of suffering with his wisdom eyes, and found that his mother had fallen into a hungry ghost (hungry demon) life in A Pi hell. Thin body, skin and bones, big head, neck like a grass. Muc Lien's mother was hungry and could not eat or drink. Too compassionate and pity, Muc Lien manipulated magic, rushing to his mother. Hand holding the rice bowl to offer her mother but tears rolling. Muc Lien's mother has been hungry for a long time, so she hurriedly took a bowl of rice to eat. With the left hand carrying the bowl, the rice in the right hand is hot, but it has not reached the mouth yet, the rice has turned into fire. Muc Lien was in great pain, cried bitterly and then returned to tell the Buddha to tell him how to save his mother.
Buddha told Muc Lien that because of the karma of his previous lives, his mother had to be born in an evil place to be a hungry ghost. Muc Lien alone is unable to save his mother no matter how magical he is and no matter how much his filial piety penetrates heaven and earth, touches divine. It is only through their mighty virtue that increases throughout the paths to unanimously pray for salvation. Therefore, the Buddha taught Muc Lien respectfully to welcome the monks from all over the ten directions, especially those who had attained four holy results or had attained six miraculous powers. Thanks to the merit of their prayers, the spirit of the priestly mother of Father Lien was released from suffering. The Buddha taught Muc Truyen a variety of items to offer them, which are awakening from time to time, the scent of candles, bedside pillows, blankets and clothes, washers, hand towels and daily items. other. Exactly on the full moon day of the seventh month, set up a son of a harp to pray, and make a son-in-law to invite the monks to eat real life. Before taking the food, they will obey the teachings of the Buddha and focus on praying for their parents and grandparents for seven generations to be transcended. Muc Lien did exactly as the Buddha taught. As expected of his mother, he was freed from the life of the hungry ghosts and returned to the good realm. The way of making offerings to the supernatural is called Vu Lan tub dharma, that ceremony is called Vu Lan tub fair, and the sutra recording the legend above is called Vu Lan tub fair.
The full moon day of July is therefore called Vu Lan's holiday. So is this ceremony also a ceremony to worship the soul or not? Is not ! These are two different rituals performed on the same day. The legend of the ceremony of worshiping the soul is roughly as follows: According to the "Buddha Theory of Salvation Diem Kha Da Da Da Da Ni Kinh" but the dedication of the soul is related to the story between Mr. Ananda, often referred to as Ananda, with a fire demon (diem speech) is also called a fire-faced demon (diem). One evening, Ananda was sitting in the retreat when she saw a dry and thin primate with a small but long neck, and a fire-emitting mouth. Devil said that three days later A Nan will die and will reincarnate into the fiery realm of the fiery fire like it. Ananda was so scared, so she asked the devil to show the way to avoid suffering. The hungry devil said: " now means to worship the soul. This contributes to confirm the origin of the necromancy ceremony that we have presented above. To release the speech which originally meant "release the fire demon", was later widely understood once more as "forgiving the sins of all the dead". Therefore, today there is a saying: "July on the full moon of the dead".
So the Vu Lan ceremony and the worshiping ceremony for the soul mate are two different rituals. One side is related to Mr. Muc Lien, the other side related to Mr. A Nan. One side is to pray for parents and grandparents for seven generations, the other is to give alms to souls that no one wants to worship. One side is filial piety, the other is doing merit. The difference between the two is obvious, but many people remain confused. For example, in the past, Mr. Thai van Kiem thought that Vu Lan ceremony and death ceremony (amnesty) (fête des Trépassés) were the same. There are also rituals of worshiping the soul (fête des âmes errantes) and the ceremony of amnesty for the dead. But these are not "dead people" in general because as we know they are just parents and grandparents for seven generations only.
Upwards is to talk about the difference between the ritual of worshiping the soul with the filial ceremony, often called the Vu Lan ceremony. Vu Lan is a short form of Vu Lan Bon. But what is Vu Lan Tub? : "The basin is a bowl of food. The bowl of food is offered to the monks on the full moon day of July to pray for the souls of the dead who no longer have to suffer. Yu Lan translates the word Sanskrit. Ullabana, which is the hanging up rescue, those who do many evil deeds, after death, are forced to descend into the realms of miserable life called hell where a torture is hung upside down (ibid, p. 795). We will base on this lecture to learn about the origins of the "Vu Lan" and "Vu Lan Bon" languages. This lecture has four false points, but the first wrong point we just pointed out in the last lines of the above paragraph.
Here is the second false point: It is not correct to say the tub is a food bowl because the tub is only a transcription factor (will be analyzed in the next section). Saying that it was "the food pot offered to the monks on the full moon day of July" is wrong in another way. Pots are "common utensils made of porcelain or metal, with wide mouth, shallow heart, for storing liquid detergent, bathing or growing plants, etc." (Vietnamese Dictionary 1992). So storing food in that kind of utensils and offering the monks real life is an utterly disrespectful and rude act. Actually, Buddha taught Section Contact the following:
Must toan prepared for burning
by eating fruits five hundred items Color
Back to shopping bed cushion
Along Brass, sinks, lamps, incense, oil
Food coloring pure treasure
Stored in a bowl to honor
Thau, sinks (pots) are just things that must be offered to monks on the occasion of Vu Lan for use in washing, bathing ... only. Food must be "pure precious colors, stored in a bowl" politely, but not in a pot.
The third wrong point is that following the mistake of those who went before, he taught Vu Lan to "rescue hanging upside down", because the Chinese dictionary said Vu Lan Bon is "saving the occult". In fact, when Tu Nguyen, for example, teaching Vu Lan was successful in "saving the island" is that he borrowed two hours from the book of Manh Tu. In this book, there is a section "Dan Chi approves chi due to the Mysterious Island" which means "as liberating from extreme misery". Tu Nguyen himself has also said "hypocrisy" is extreme misery (even misery). So "salvation" is not "rescue hanging upside down" but "liberation from extreme misery". The two "subtle island" here are no longer understood literally.
The fourth mistake is in saying that the word sanscrit "Ullabana" means "upside down rescue". First of all, it should be said that this sanskrit word has been miswritten. So do not know here the two authors want to refer to the noun sanscrit, but according to the form of misspelled they can deduce that it is one of the following two words: Ullambana or Ullambhana. Here, let us analyze the first word: Ullambana consists of three prisms: ud (becomes ul due to the samdhi variable rule when d precedes l) is a prefix, often called a préverbe indicating the the bottom-up movement, lamb is the verb base verb, which means hang and ana is the suffix for the action. So Ullambana means suspension. But that is all! This sanskrit word does not express the idea of hanging upside down or downright. It even more cannot mean "
the origin and true meaning of these two languages? First of all, Vu Lan is an abbreviated form of "Vu Lan Bon". These are the three voices used to transcribe the noun Sanskrit Ullambhana. This word was initially transcribed in four Chinese, read by Sino-Vietnamese, Olambàna. This ancient form of transcription has been confirmed by Tu Hai. Later, Olambàna was replaced by a new phonetic form "Vu Lan Bon", in which Vu replaced O, lan cho lam and tub for grandma + n (a). Because "Vu Lan Bon" is only three hours used for transcription, so each sound (Vu, Lan, Bon) has absolutely no meaning in Chinese. Therefore, separate the tub and preach into "food pots".
Ullambhana means liberation. This sanskrit noun has three forms: The prefix ud (becomes ul for the said reason), the verb root of the lambh, and the suffix ana. Please state each image clearly: Unlike in Ullambana, there it is only the movement from the bottom up. In Ullambhana, the prefix ud indicates negative or opposite, e.g. chad (cover, wrap, cover), dv (for), uc-chad (undress), khan (bury), v ut-khan (excavate), gam (go), unit ud-gam (come out), nah (tied, tie), un-nah unit (untied) etc.In the above examples, ud becomes uc, ut, un due to the samdhi variable rule. The verb bases are traditionally written in capital letters when they are separated. The verb base of the lambh is the alternate form with the labh, which means to take, to take over, to grasp ... So Ul-lambh means liberation. The suffix ana indicates the action related to the meaning expressed by the prefix and the verb base. So Ullambhana means liberation. Ullambhana is transcribed into Chinese in three languages along the Sino-Vietnamese sound "Vu Lan Bon". Vu Lan Bon is abbreviated as Vu Lan. So Vu Lan is the liberation. Its origin is the noun Sanskrit Ullambhana. This is the second of the two words that we have speculated above. In the structure of this word, absolutely there is no element that is semantically related to the phenomenon of "hanging up". This is the second of the two words that we have speculated above.
