ULLAMANA in the spirit of the Fourth of July. After three months of settling down, the virtues and precepts of the monks increased, and the happy days of the Sangha were everywhere. That day is called the "Self-Friday" day. The message of the Vietnamese star to the one who gave birth to Vu Lan season to report filial piety Vu Lan returned to the Buddha's son and filial children, in this spirit, let's contemplate and re-read sutta 31 together. , Equal to Brahma, chapter IV, Messenger of Heaven, in the Sangha branch of Sutras III, the Buddha taught: "What families, bhikkhus, in which children respect their parents and stay in them. families, those families are accepted as equal to Pham Thien". Here, parents are likened by him to Brahma because parents help their children a lot in loving, nurturing and bringing us into the world. Indeed, parents are very grateful to their children. So, In Buddhism in particular and the national spiritual culture in general, the filial piety to parents is one of the highest spiritual cultural symbols that have been promoted throughout history and it has become a day. separate, a special festival with the name Vu Lan festival. For that reason, Vu Lan is no longer only Buddhist, but it has become an indispensable cultural and spiritual festival for all filial children. Vu Lan is called ullambana in Sanskrit, and translated in Chinese as Giai Dao Huyen. In which, Interpretation means the rescue and liberation of suffering, Dao Huyen shows the extreme suffering of beings in hell, what they have to pay due to the evil karma they have done in the past. So Vu Lan has many positive meanings that not only help the deceased have the opportunity to get rid of suffering, but also help the living see "cause and effect" to direct good and benefit society.More , Vu Lan festival is held on the full moon day of July, this also has a very special meaning that is emphasized by the Buddha in the Sangha branch of Sutra III, sutta 36 - The Four Great Kings: "Hey guys- On the full moon day of the Uposatha (Bodhisattva) festival, the four heavenly kings traveled by themselves in this world to see if there were any people among humans who were filial to their mothers, respected ascetics, brahmins, respecting the patriarchs, performing the Uposatha ceremony, promoting vigilance, and doing meritorious deeds. On this day, if anyone honors his parents and does meritorious deeds, then the gods will rejoice because "The gods will be abundant, and their Asuras will be reduced". So, Vu Lan day is held on the occasion of the full moon day, which adds more value to the ceremony because not only are the monks rejoicing in the spirit of enlightenment, making penitence to dedicate merit to their parents, but also the gods praise and record them. accept this heartfelt devotion. Vu Lan in the spirit of the Fourth of July. The season of filial piety Vu Lan during the Covid-19 epidemic After three months of settling down, the morality and precepts of the monks increased, and the happy days of the monks everywhere. That day is called the "Self-Friday" day. The word quartet in Sanskrit (Sanskrit) is Pràvarana, Sino-Vietnamese transliteration is Bat Hoa La or Bat Lac Da Lac Noa, the Chinese word translated as Tu Tu, which means invitation, is love. In the great Buddhist dictionary, Khai Minh Thu Department of Taiwan explains the meaning of the word Tu Tu as follows: "Through the purity of the four quarters of the period of guilt, for the forgiveness of the monk, the child repents". which means "Make the bhikkhus pure, others freely state the sins that they have committed, they repent of those sins with the monks". At the same time, the two words "arbitrary" are explained as follows: "Department of the service of others has no intention of appointing the department to commit a crime at will", which means "Due to the will of another person, he will voluntarily raise his or her wrongdoing. called arbitrary". As explained above, self-discipline is a form of collective criticism of an individual and the individual happily admits his shortcomings, expresses regret and promises to correct them if he has made a mistake. Specifically, here is the fact that a monk lets other monks point out his mistakes so that this monk can repent before the group of monks. In the Samyutta Nikaya recorded the date of death in the Buddha's time, in the early years of its formation as follows: "On the day of the full moon of the Bodhisattva and the Buddha, The Blessed One sat in the open air, and five hundred bhikkhus who had attained Alahan status sat silently around him. The Blessed One looked around at the group of bhikkhus and opened his mouth: "Bhikkhus, now I invite the monks to say to the monks whether there is anything that criticizes me, either physically or verbally?" . At that time, Venerable Sariputra put on his robes, bowed down to the Buddha, and wrote: "Venerable Sir, we have nothing to criticize the Blessed One in terms of body or speech. The way has not arisen, the Blessed One, the way has arisen, the way is not known, the Blessed One has made known, the way has not been taught, the Blessed One teaches. The World-Honored One knows the Way, understands the Way, and is skillful about it. Bach Duc World-Honored One, these disciples are people who live and practice the Way and will achieve the Way in the future. World-Honored One, I would like to invite the Blessed One to say, does the Blessed One have anything to criticize me about body or speech?" After three months of settling down, the virtues and precepts of the monks increased, and the happy days of the Sangha were everywhere. That day is known as the "Fourth Day". The Blessed One replied, "Sariputra, I have nothing against you in body or speech. You, Sariputra, are a man of great wisdom, of broad knowledge, of quick knowledge, of shrewdness, of shrewdness, of a mind, and of wisdom, Sariputra is like the eldest son of a right-turning-turning-king king who turns the wheel of dharma transported by his father's king, so too, Sariputra, you are the true carrier of the unsurpassed wheel of dharma that I have carried." Venerable Sariputra: "World-Honored One, the Blessed One has nothing to criticize me about body or speech. Venerable Sir, for the five hundred bhikkhus here, does the Blessed One have any criticism of the body or of the word?" The Blessed One replied: "Sariputra, of the five hundred monks here, sixty are of the three clairvoyants. sixty bhikkhus are supremely wise, sixty bhikkhus are liberated, and the rest are liberated wisdom."
