LEARNING AND LEGAL LEGAL.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH. When it comes to Buddhist practitioners, we see that there are two tendencies to study, some are inclined towards dharma study, while others specialize in dharma practice. So what is jurisprudence? As a lifelong monk, he only specializes in studying, studying the scriptures, viewing the treatises... to know all the Tripitaka (Suttas, Laws, and Commentaries), many also translate the scriptures, or write many volumes. reasoning based on accumulated knowledge and understanding. But the mind that really realizes, or attains the Way, may not yet, only understand, but not yet realize. (And the number of people who specialize in dharma studies but have enlightened minds are very rare, even more rare nowadays.) And what is the law? As this cultivator, after grasping the basic knowledge, he goes deep into the practice of the Dharma. The whole day is devoted to practice. As in the monasteries, each teacher can sit in silence and motionless meditation for at least four hours a day, not counting the time to go to the walking meditation, or even come back to sit and walk at night (And for those who are In retreat, the time to focus on sitting meditation or walking meditation... seems to be all day, except for a few hours when sleeping or eating, personal hygiene only). As for the Pure Land cultivators, they are also very focused on reciting the Buddha's name, keeping the mind always in a state of single-mindedness, during the main sessions they recite the Buddha's name aloud, while in the secondary sessions, they keep their minds right. Mindfulness, always maintain the mind in a state of stillness and awareness, if he feels that his mind is full of delusions He returns to the Buddha's effective recitation to keep the mind focused, when it feels good He returns to stillness. Quiet, quiet, knowing body and mind. Those who practice intensively like this, if given enough opportunities, they are easy to enlighten to the Way. So often you'll notice that those who specialize in the practice are much easier to realize than those who specialize in the study. As for my opinion on the matter: Studying theory is only to apply it to spiritual practice, not to wander into empty, impractical theories. However, some of them have the vow to be born again in the world to translate sutras, to help sentient beings have scriptures to practice. Therefore, on this issue we should not criticize or look down on, should not think that we are practicing the Dharma that is delicious, high ... such a concept is considered to be damaged. However, looking at the reality, nowadays we see that the number of people practicing the Dharma is more than the practice. Many monks spend their entire lives just studying for one degree after another. This is called leaning towards jurisprudence. At the end of the article, I recorded a passage of the teaching of Zen Master Ajahn Chah, he is a very famous Thai Zen master ascetic living in the forest. He specializes in dharma practice, specializing in the Four Foundations of Mindfulness meditation. He taught the following: To go through a dense forest, we do not need to destroy the whole forest, just clear a path in the middle, then follow that path, we can also go through the forest. This example shows the study of the Dharma: We don't need to learn all the Tripitaka, let's focus on the most basic, most important, most essential knowledge to help us practice, from there we focus on the practice. will lead to Enlightenment.
