Why Buddhism?VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH. For thousands of years, when people started thinking about all kinds of natural phenomena in the world, they noticed many strange things happening. Religious formation. Thousands of years ago, when people began to think about all kinds of natural phenomena in the world, they noticed many strange things happening. When some natural force or phenomena are not favorable, man suffers. Humans have witnessed catastrophic, terrible events. Then people begin to think how to prevent these unfavorable conditions that cause fear, doubt, insecurity, stress and suffering. People know many of these things beyond understanding, so they think that there is an invisible supernatural power behind these happenings. These happenings are so confusing that they think it's the work of the "gods". People began to worship these gods, killing animals for sacrifice in the hope of pleasing these supernatural forces. People also began to praise and worship in thanksgiving when certain phenomena were favorable, thinking that these deeds were due to the actions of gods. The purpose of these practices is to have the protection and blessings of the gods in order to live in this world without facing many difficulties. As these concepts began to evolve, several other important jobs were merged. There are rites, ceremonies, festivals or festivals. Individual communities organize ceremonies according to the needs of the geographical area. When there is a large enough body of rituals and philosophies, 'religion' becomes an intrinsic part of every civilization. The formation of religion was built by early man to protect himself from fear, suspicion, insecurity and misunderstanding of life and natural phenomena. Those things are the basis of religion just as materials such as bricks, stones, sand, cement, and earth are used to make the foundation of a building. People then adorned this religious building by introducing beliefs, offerings, prayers, invocations, punishments, morals, and ethics in the name of god to be able to control mankind, and also to find a permanent place called paradise for the eternal happiness and peace of the soul. The Formation of Buddhism Later, a religion called "Buddhism" appeared, but we see that the Buddha did not use ancient beliefs. He did not exploit the concept of god, soul theory, eternal hell or eternal heaven to form Buddhism. He did not exploit fear and distorted views of natural phenomena to support his religion. Nor does he require blind faith or unnecessary rituals or ceremonies. He did not believe in self-mortification, punishment, or observance of commandments in spreading Buddhism. Nor did he seek authority in any external divine force to strengthen his argument. He makes full use of primordial thought or things like Right View of life, the world and natural phenomena or cosmic law and the true characteristics of mind and matter, elements and energies, morality and development. spiritual development, discipline, spiritual training and purification, wisdom and enlightenment to build a religious building called Buddhism. Yes he did use some of the religious stuff used by some of the religious people of the time like Karma - action and reaction, rebirth and some precepts but not in the same way they did or followed. a meaning. He purifies them and presents them in a logical and scientific way.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.26/5/2021.
