Leaving home for what?VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH. People think that the monastic people have reached a dead end, the monastic life is considered to be over. Some people think that leaving home is a negative way, escaping from life, weak, having no way to rely on and now going to practice, those who go to practice are pessimistic people. So the truth is, what's the point of leaving home? Understanding the two words ordained Ordaining literally means getting out of the house. But fully, ordination has three main meanings 1. Out of the secular family: show that person determined to throw his shirt away, give up his feelings and love for relatives and relatives, accept to go and go out to find the religion, truth, and path. truth, or to serve. 2. Export afflictions: through the process of practice, this person has tamed all afflictions: greed, anger, delusion, selfishness, envy, hatred, jealousy, tricks, frauds, tricks. , ... all these bad habits, which practitioners need to subdue. 3. Export the three worlds: And when there is an end to all afflictions beyond the control and bondage of the three realms: the sensual world, the form world, and the formless world. These are technical terms with analysis, which are also very vague, but roughly to get rid of this life, that is generally called the world of renunciation. If this means enough, we call it monasticism. A person is out of the house but not sure out of trouble. But the affliction is not sure to come out, how to get out of the Three Realms? Why is it called ordination? Ancestral virtue once taught "Kim birth does not know the path, does not give birth to the path of enlightenment" Entering the path of cultivation is to do sacrificial and meaningful work, beneficial to life, for the religion, otherwise all the rice, rice, money. that everyone has provided for me, I have to wear feathers and horns to return these. Therefore, do not think that going to monkhood is happiness, health, and freedom!

Therefore, do not think that going to monkhood is happiness, health, and freedom! Leaving home for what? In Cai Luong plays, episodes or songs, often build the image of a person who has left the home life due to failure in work, heartbreak, suffering, and despair. Or old men and women who are bored with life and are abandoned to go to a Zen sect to become a monk. The temple then became like a nursing home, a house of love for the weak, no longer worth anything. This makes people think: People go far away, monks who go to practice belong to such people. Yes, that is the negative thought of people who do not understand Buddhism properly. The monastic must have the virtue of sacrifice Tu is a path of sacrifice, not running away from anyone. Here, no one is in debt to become a monk, no one is bad enough to become a monk, and no one can run away from anything, but the most basic thing is that to become a monk, one has to make sacrifices first. A monk must first of all sacrifice for his family, sacrifice his own feelings, sacrifice the family's hope, and besides, must be brave enough to sacrifice all his personal needs. Is a cultivator sacrificing all one's own needs? What do monks eat? What to wear? What are the needs of the monk? Thus we see that we have to sacrifice our own needs. Even emotionally, it is very basic to have to control one's own emotions. Don't think that a monk has no feelings, there is no one without love in this whole life, except for the crazy and the holy ones, but if you are a monk, you must know how to control your own emotions for the common good, and through the process. Cultivators must be brave enough to overcome the needs of their instincts as soon as possible, with the higher the self-control the better. But don't say you don't have feelings. For a monk, there is no saying rich or poor, nothing about it. All monasteries are to discharge their wealth to seek poverty, to sacrifice themselves to seek the way, that's the purpose.

Young people's monastic journey When Prince Siddhartha witnessed the ordinary suffering of human life while walking through the four gates of the city, the Prince asked his father's permission to leave home but was prevented. He set four conditions, if his father meets them, he will not become a monk. That is: How to keep children young forever. How can I stay strong and pain-free? How can I live forever and never die? How to make everyone suffer. So that's why the Buddha went to practice first out of great love, first he had to sacrifice his personal feelings. The monastic must have extraordinary bravery Do not say that ordination is easy, by planting the Bodhi seed for many lifetimes, you will have enough motivation to leave home. If it is said that ordination is easy and the path of practice is easy, then really everyone in this world can do it all. Don't say that a monk is shy and afraid of everything, so whoever says anything is gentle, whoever says anything must be quiet. Then seeing such a monk felt gentle, pitiful, cute. A monk isn't supposed to let people say cute that way. If a monk who wants to do whatever he wants to do, says nothing like a lump of earth, then that monk is not one of the brave people to benefit the religion. We don't have to live for the poor people, let people worry about what, if we live like that, we can't become a monk, we are a vine, vines, and conifers something to rely on. A monk is not simple. Ancestral virtue once taught "Kim birth does not know the path, does not give birth to the path of enlightenment" Entering the path of cultivation is to do sacrificial and meaningful work, beneficial to life, for the religion, otherwise all the rice, rice, money. that everyone has provided for me, I have to wear feathers and horns to return these. Therefore, do not think that going to monkhood is happiness, health, and freedom! People who have left home must be more charitable than others For a monk, there is no saying rich or poor, nothing about it. All monasteries are to discharge their wealth to seek poverty, to sacrifice themselves to seek the way, that's the purpose. The opinion of the world is that the monastic will have power, be respected and worshiped by the world. But, the respect, respect for the cultivator. Not because of power, but because of the morality, sacrifice and practice that people respect. So bringing power to everyone is not right with Buddhism.. A monastic is a person who walks a high and wide path, a way of life for everyone, a path that begins to enter the sacrifice without having his own needs. A monastic is a person who walks a high and wide path, a way of life for everyone, a path that begins to enter the sacrifice without having his own needs. Renunciation is the path I have chosen For a long time, the Buddha took this lightly, but the Buddha passed away. If he became king because of his power, why would he become a monk? He once said in the Sutra of the Forty-two Chapters: We consider public position almost like discarded sandals, consider gold, silver, and silk as rags. He despised those things and became a monk. And we are Sakyamuni, the children of the Buddha put those things on people to be proud of everyone, with fellow believers, this is wrong. If one is ambitious, one cannot choose the path of cultivation; if one is too ambitious, one cannot choose the path of cultivation. And if anyone has a selfish life concept, never choose the path of monasticism. I can become a monk so that I can earn money to support my family, there are no such nonsense sentences. Cultivation is not a job to earn money. Therefore, a monk must be more capable than people, must be stronger than people, must have a better heart than people, all of which must have. Who has that can only cultivate. In summary, To Quy Son once taught: "Fufufu, fake family, super-favorable, heterogeneous mind, introduced dragons of the holy race, town recaptured ghosts, used newspapers for four favors, and sacrificed three friends". Confucianism is fake: everyone is a monk, everyone is a monk. Prosperity super-direction: step up to a high and wide horizon. The body and mind are mundane: this body and mind must be different from other people, the mind cannot be seen, but is this body different from other people? Looking at the head, looking at the shirt is different. Thieu long Saint race: following the seed, or the path of the Saints. Conquer the demon army: conquer the bad, the bad, the bad, the demon. Use the four gifts: to repay the four gifts: the three treasures, the parents, the country, and the donor. The Three Friends Bat Sacrifice: Save All Species Thus, we see that a monastic is a person who walks a high and wide path, a path of life for everyone, a path that begins to enter the sacrifice without having personal needs for himself. . That is a virtuous person, rich in greed and love for sentient beings that we must respect, respect and support their path of practice.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.18/5/2021.
