Buddha and the final instructions. According to the Great Bowl of Nirvana (School of Sutra), before passing away, the Blessed One stayed in the rainy season at Baluvā, seriously ill, very painful. But he kept mindful of mindfulness, awareness, endured that pain, not even a little bit of complaint. He said: "I am now old, I have become an elder, have reached the age of death, have reached 80 years old. Hey Ananda, like the carriage is old and worn, the reason why it can still run is thanks to the brakes, so the Tathagata's body is maintained the same life as the main support of ligaments ”. Even so, he kept mindful of mindfulness, awareness, endured that pain, without a bit of complaining. He still did not rest but continued to teach. Concerned about the problems that the Sangha was about to face when he was about to die, he thought to himself: "It is unreasonable if I pass away without a word to my disciples, not farewell to them. -show ". Through here, we can see that, before going away, the Blessed One still wants to remind them of renunciation disciples, who will later take on the responsibility of promoting the Dharma of profitability. If He goes away without giving instructions, it is certain that the Sangha will be disturbed, do not know where to rely, leading to no harmony. These things show the guru's concern and responsibility. During more than 40 years of practice, the Buddha never considered himself the ruler of the Sangha. During more than 40 years of practice, the Buddha never considered himself the ruler of the Sangha. Dhamma and Law are the Masters During more than 40 years of practice, the Buddha never considered himself the ruler of the Sangha. Essentials on the path of liberation, He instructed without hiding anything. He just wanted the disciples to rely on the Dharma to practice, no need to have a leader. So, the Buddha taught: "Hey Ananda, what more do the monks expect from me! Hey Ananda, I have taught the Dharma, there is no distinction inside and outside, because Ananda, for the Dharma, the Tathagata is never the master still holding hands (still retains a few secret teachings that have not been taught. ). ” The last reminders of the Buddha are not intended to honor the role of a teacher, nor do they come from their motives to develop religion or doctrine, but only because of the great compassion for the disciples to want them to be. Early attainment of liberation. The Buddha once taught: "The Tathagatas teach the Path, but you must do your own thing". It can be seen that the Buddha has found the way to liberation, Nirvana. But to go to liberation, Nirvana or not, we have to walk on that path by ourselves. Because of this, the Buddha did not want anyone, not even the Male-stilts to think that he was the controller of the Sangha. “Hey Ananda, if one of you thinks: 'The words of the Guru are no more. We do not have the Taoist (teacher) '. Hey Ananda, don't have such thoughts. Hey Ananda, the Law and the Law, I have taught and presented, after I have passed away, it is the Fa and the Law that will be your teacher ”. He treated them in harmony with the Sangha, he did not think he was the priest. He also does not want them to rely on themselves, but let's take the Law and the Law as the principle of living for the Sangha community. It is necessary to diligently study the teachings, cultivate morality and practice meditation to expand wisdom, there is no need to search for liberation anywhere. The teaching is very fervent and human, man is his own master, can create a life of happiness or suffering. The Buddha was not a god or a god with the power to bless or grant enlightenment. So do not rely on Him, He is not the ruler of the Sangha. So where does the Sangha need to rely on for cultivation and development? Dharma is the eternal truth that the Buddha preached to mankind. Rely on Dharma In the midst of the immense sea, the island is a peaceful place for ships and boats to take refuge. Fearing that the following people would find a leader to rely on or an external truth, in the last minutes, the Buddha taught: "Hey Ananda, whoever, after I have passed away, is himself a lamp for ourselves, lean on ourselves, not lean on anything else, use the Dharma as a lamp, use the Dharma as a refuge, don't lean on something else, they, Ananda, are the supreme position in My Female-stilts, if they earnestly learn ". Dharma is the eternal truth that the Buddha preached to mankind. It is certain that the Dharma is not something abstract, blind, or dark beyond human understanding, but rather a reality and can be attained by any human being. It is not limited by space or time. The Dharma taught by the Buddha is to bring people from night to morning, from ignorance to wisdom. He never said things just to satisfy intellectual curiosity. The Buddha's point of view is filled with a spirit of freedom, desire and tolerance. The Buddha was so tolerant that he never used his authority to command believers. He only encouraged his disciples to do this, that thing should not be done, and did not give a mandatory order. In this particularly important teaching, the Buddha pointed out and urged not to believe or find any other way, avoid asking, fumbling but going the wrong way, relying on the teachings. His vision is to look forward to a bright future. He himself used to depend on himself to be faithful. If someone lives attentively in the practice, has mindfulness in all actions, even if he does not ask for liberation, he will still be liberated. He gives people the right to freedom, without any strings attached. Because people want to get rid of suffering, they have to do it themselves. The Buddha is like a physician, the Dhamma is like medicine, and there is medicine and medicine that the patient does not take, the sickness still does not heal, the fault is not due to the physician but the patient himself. In the same way, liberation depends on realization of the truth, not on praying for divine grace or external power. During more than 40 years of practice, the Buddha never considered himself the ruler of the Sangha Making the ultimate offering On the last night of the Buddha's stay in the sala forest, the natural longevity sala trees with out-of-season flowers overflowing with branches and leaves, these flowers fall, sow and scatter on the Tathagata's body to make offerings. Mandàrava celestial flowers fall from nowhere, fall, sow and scatter on the Tathagata's body to make offerings. Flour of heaven fried flocks fell from above, fell on, sowed all over and scattered on the Tathagata's body to make offerings. Heavenly music from nowhere rises to make offerings to Tathagata. Heavenly anthems on nowhere resound to make offerings to the Tathagata. These are not praised by the Buddha. “Hey Ananda, so it is not to respect, worship, pay homage, make offerings or pay homage to the Tathagata. Hey Ananda, if there are Female-stilts, Female-stilts-ni, male or female laymen who have achieved the Dharma and the Dharma, live the righteousness in the Dharma, practice rightly the Dharma, at that time respect, worship, pay homage, make offerings to the Tathagata with the ultimate offering. So, Ananda, attain Dharma and Dharma, live righteousness in Dharma and practice properly Dharma. Hey Ananda, you have to study like that ". Fragrant flowers, foreign objects are just a form of accretion, it will never last long and bring no value at all. Likewise, he knew that later on, most monks would focus on the appearance without going into depth into the core content of the practice, so he told them very carefully. From this awakening, he taught them the need to practice and practice Dharma. This is the powerful ability to transform the evil qualities that exist in people. The external forms are just means only, but the practice towards liberation for oneself is the end of the monk. Doing so is truly the ultimate offering according to the Buddha's teaching. The 2565 anniversary of the Buddha's death at Lien Phai Pagoda Buddha passed away - Painting Thailand Beneficial for life “Hey, monks, now the dharma s are realized and taught by me to you, you must be smart to learn, validate your practice and spread it to make your happiness everlasting, eternal, for their happiness. birth, for the welfare of sentient beings, out of love for life, for benefit, for happiness, for the welfare of God and for mankind ". It can be seen that before entering Nirvana, the Buddha also emphasized the responsibility of the monk to spread his teachings to sentient beings, taking sentient beings as objects to serve. He instructed his monastic disciples to study and practice skillfully in order to propagate and popularize enlightenment for human beings, in order for the Dharma to be long lasting, for the benefit of the majority. . The Dharma mentioned by the Buddha is built on the basis of Gender, Concentration, and Wisdom. The relationship of these three parts cannot be separated. Thanks to new wisdom that leads to the elimination of defilements and defilements, like a sword that cuts off the bonds. We can only achieve real peace, happiness, and benefit with wisdom, not by asking someone to be disposed of by the inability to be transformed by belief. Therefore, the Buddha emphasized that monks need to study and practice to realize the Dharma in order to gain wisdom, this is the practitioner's most valuable asset. Because when we realize the Dhamma, we can get out of the swamp of suffering and be able to deal with the sufferings we and humanity are facing. From there it is possible to enter life to serve sentient beings. It can be seen that the Dharma that he realized and taught is the way of compassion. If people have efforts, they will surely reach the goal of truth, goodness and beauty. If you want to save birth, you must first learn the saving method. When the monks have tried their best to study the Dhamma, it is necessary to commit themselves to the world of sentient beings, hoping that all sentient beings will enjoy the liberating solution, not for their own benefits. . If the Buddha and his disciples only care about the practice of liberation for themselves and separate from human and life, the Dharma will have no reason to exist anymore. Vietnam's largest outdoor entering Nirvana Buddha statue is about to inaugurate The Buddha encourages us to try our best to find liberation for ourselves by relying on the Dharma. Establish harmony In order to avoid the disciples who will later doubt the teachings of the Elders, before entering Nirvana, the Buddha also advised them very carefully. Every word heard from anyone, the Male-stilts should not rush to praise or destroy such words, but each word, each sentence must be compared with the Sutra, compared with the Law, if they are consistent Sutra, Law, those words are the teachings of World Religion. More deeply, he also taught small details such as: "Elderly monks call the young Male-stilts, either by name, or by surname, or in Sage language. Young Male-stilts, please call the Elderly Male-stilts as Venerable or Venerable Venerable if they want to, after I destroy the level can cancel the small learning. The Buddha emphasized on right seeing, right understanding, comprehension and practice to get results, not on belief. So, in order to resolve the doubts or remaining in them, Male-stilts, He taught: "Hey, monks, if any monks have doubts or doubts about the Buddha, Dharma, they , religion or method, this time, the monks, please ask. After having no regrets: Ranks Dao Master is present in front of us, but we do not ask face to face "World Religion". In order to avoid doubts, not understanding the teachings of the disciples, at the last moments, the Buddha also kindly inquired if there was any place to ask, to ask carefully, to avoid regrets later. Through the gentle and caring words of a Father before leaving the children, it can be seen that He is closer and more authentic than anyone in this life can see through senses. He is still interested in the Male-stilts, for fear that they still have a place that is not understanding. These little details can see the greatness of a Teacher, a good Father of all creatures. Nirvana right where we are standing The Buddha advised his disciples not to be sad, what he did to do, those who were worthy of his degrees, the disciples need to continue the direction that the master has outlined, the dharma body of the Tathagata is often immortal. annihilated. The Buddha advised his disciples not to be sad, what he did to do, those who were worthy of his degrees, the disciples need to continue the direction that the master has outlined, the dharma body of the Tathagata is often immortal. annihilated. The last will “Hey, monks, this is my message to you. Practices are impermanent. Be diligent to self-liberate, the Tathagata will soon cease to exist ”. In the vastness of the human mind, whenever we see the deep nature of something that is the most precious thing. Seeing that the nature of the human universe is impermanent, the Buddha mentioned last words that formations are impermanent. Because he was afraid that his disciples would be plunged into the whirlwind of life, subjected to the transformation and engulfing of space and time, he emphasized the impermanence of life, if diligent. practice, beyond will be liberated. Man is his own master, and there is no higher entity or power that can determine its fate. The Buddha encourages us to try our best to find liberation for ourselves by relying on the Dharma. For that man has the inherent capacity to free all constraints by wisdom if there is continuous right diligence. Without diligent effort nothing can be accomplished, so diligence is a virtue that is always present on the path of practice from the very first step until the ultimate goal of liberation is reached. Instruction on the impermanence of life to encourage the spirit of liberation, not clinging to life. Looking at the impermanence of life, there are two attitudes that happen, one is because life is impermanent, so take the opportunity to practice not to let time pass empty. Second, because life is impermanent, so hurry to enjoy, indulge in no responsibility, this second attitude is that of a noble class who does not know how to be holy, does not tend to be holy. The Buddha's words of encouragement to his earnest disciples were clear and reasonable. The Dharma has been taught to practice, short life not to pass in vain. Have to work hard to go forward not to rely on anyone, even the Buddha, because he is only a guide. The Buddha advised his disciples not to be sad, what he did to do, those who were worthy of his degrees, the disciples need to continue the direction that the master has outlined, the dharma body of the Tathagata is often immortal. annihilated. At the forest of Sa-la, thousands of thousands of people with sincere eyes sent off the Blessed One, until he finished his last words, the eyes of thousands of thousands still watched him. That was the last time that mankind still saw the Blessed One in the world. From then on, there remained only the mighty teachings that He had left for life. It can be seen that he is the typical personality of people of all times, all territories. No matter what angle we look at the Buddha, the dharmakaya or the five aggregates of the five aggregates, whether to pass away or not, for more than forty years of practicing on all the paths of Central India, the teachings he gave forever forever is an endless source of compassion and wisdom. The last teachings of the Buddha have influenced the current Sangha to a more positive outlook, improving self-awareness, responsibility and harmony. Whirls deeply into the core Dharma practice, the main policy of self-liberation, at the same time, closely connects with society to spread the Dharma, expressing the spirit of forgiveness. This spirit has strongly influenced the practice, the flourishing of the Sangha and Buddhism from the past to the present and for the future.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.28/3/2021.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.
