The meaning of 7 steps of lotus flowers are:VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH. 1. The first step the Buddha looked to the East and said: "That East is the torch that lights the ultimate way for sentient beings in all fields". (Thi Dong orients sentient beings to entrench themselves). The Buddha used the direction of the rising sun to indicate the development of wisdom. 2. The second step the Buddha looked to the South and said: "The South is the field of blessings and peace for sentient beings to sow and reap". (Thi Nam azimuth sentient beings with merit and merit). The Buddha took the South to show sentient beings by promoting wisdom, knowing how to contemplate deeply in reality, so they know how to turn to good karma. 3. In the third step, the Buddha looked to the West and said: "The West only shows living beings how to neutralize the motive of birth and death, ending the final birth". try). The West is the setting sun, indicating the absolute rest of the mind. 4. In the fourth step, the Buddha looked to the North and said: "The North only shows sentient beings that we have attained the supreme righteous enlightenment". (Thi Bac in the direction of sentient beings fell and attained A Nau Da La Tam Mieu Tam Bo De). At this point, the Buddha began to turn the wheel of dharma. He is like a physician who knows the mental illness of sentient beings, whoever is seriously ill will be saved first. So, he moved on to the fifth step to approach life in order to change fate. 5. In the fifth step, the Buddha looked down and said: "Under that direction, I will help living beings conquer the magic power to overcome suffering" (Thi Ha locating living beings is heterosexual in ma co). Because of his compassion for human beings who are suffering from a lot of suffering due to bigotry, greed, anger, etc., he arbitrarily declared the truth to let everyone give up those attachments in turn. 6. The sixth step, the Buddha pointed to the upper direction and said: "The above method is only for living beings who are living in accordance with the five personalities and practicing ten good karmas" (Thi Thuong in the direction of sentient beings taking refuge in heaven and earth). ). These are the wholesome kammas to be practiced in order to get rid of suffering. 7. And finally the seventh step : The Buddha pointed up with one hand, pointed down with one hand and said: "Heavenly in the world, only one-self. Immeasurable birth and death, the end of gold happiness." I am drifting in the three realms and six paths, all controlled by self-grasping, and in this life is my last birth. * In another dimension,The number seven represents 6 spatial directions plus 1 center. A Hindu mythology assigns the Sun 7 rays of light, corresponding to the six spatial directions, the 7th ray in the center. Similarly, the rainbow does not have 7 colors but only 6: the 7th color is white, the combination of the other 6 colors. Likewise, the ancient Indian cosmology that Buddhism inherited also states that in the Hamhai salty sea, each continent (continent: divida) lying between the seven layers of golden mountains (the circle) is a great iron element. Again, the central mountain of Buddhist cosmology is Tu Di Son (Someru) with the "seven treasures of the path", the two paths of the path have 7 layers of treasure walls, 7 layers of balustrades, 7 layers of netting, and 7 layers of nets. rows of trees… (III, 6913-6914). This indicates that the number seven represents a perfect spatial whole, a maximum that is nothing more than in quantity and quality. Going back to the fact “seven steps in four directions and under each step a lotus blooms”, we see that 7 is a total of 6+1. This is the symbol for the six spatial directions and a center (unique solipsism); The 6 directions here are 4 directions (East, West, South, North) and two directions of the vertical cosmic axis (Heavenly: right hand indicates heaven and underworld: left hand indicates earth). That is the entire universe, understood in the sense: "The four directions above and below are the universe, past and present is the universe." Thus, more broadly, 6+1 represents a totality of space and total time. There is revealed the secret of the number 7: the return to the center, to the original with the ending of the six, complete in the seven. At this point, we clearly see the compatibility between the event "walking 7 steps of lotus blossom"” about the four directions and the posture/gesture of the Buddha's birth form a multi-meaningful composite symbol that we must continue to search for.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.26/5/2021.
