The Buddha is the Master of Scientists.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH. Buddha (Buddha) is a word for a fully enlightened person. Shakyamuni Buddha (Sàkyãmuni) is an enlightened person, so we call him Buddha. Enlightenment is knowing all the truths about the universe and human life. From this enlightenment, the Buddha only taught his disciples to record them into the Tripitaka. The canon is filled with truths that, even after more than 25 centuries, are still valid, not degraded by time. Today, we study the Tripitaka very maturely, and find that these truths are surprisingly close and relevant to science. In this article, we only briefly introduce a few outlines for readers to ponder. About the universe - The Buddha was born over six centuries BC, and scientists are known, only from the 18th century AD. But at that time, the Buddha looked in the universe and saw that the world was indescribable, so in the Chinese scriptures there were sentences "Innumerable worlds", meaning that the world is as numerous as the sands of the Ganges (Ganges). ), or the sentence "micro-ceiling" means that the country (slaughter) is as numerous as particles of dust. Up to now, astronomers, thanks to telescopes, have seen in the void the vastness of the world. Countless twinkling stars appear in the sky at night, which our eyes can see; are planets (worlds), and I don't know how many other planets are too far away from the eye to see. This is concrete evidence, thanks to science that helps us understand the Buddha's teachings over 25 centuries ago: Again, Once the Buddha and the monks went to the forest, saw the fallen leaves and the yellow leaves about to branch, and at the same time there were young huts that had just sprouted and sprouts had just sprouted from the bark, he taught the Bhikkhus: The world is falling, going to decay, and coming to fruition, just like the leaves in the forest are falling, falling and budding, about to sprout.” Therefore, the Buddha often taught the world to have four times: City, standing. , ruin, no." Today scientists also admit that the world has to go through four such periods. This is the appropriate view between Buddhism and science that is too far apart in time. about to fall and bud, about to sprout.” Therefore, the Buddha often taught that the world has four times: City, standing, destruction, emptiness. Today scientists also admit that the world has to go through four such periods. This is the appropriate view between Buddhism and science that is too far apart in time. about to fall and bud, about to sprout.” Therefore, the Buddha often taught that the world has four times: City, standing, destruction, emptiness. Today scientists also admit that the world has to go through four such periods. This is the appropriate view between Buddhism and science that is too far apart in time. About all things - All things born and destroyed in the world, in the eyes of the Buddha's wisdom, are all due to "dependent origination". Dependent origination is the condition of arising, there is not a single thing that comes into being that is not brought together by conditions. It is not true to say that things happen by chance, or that there is a magical hand to create them. The Buddha confirmed that all things due to cause-and-effect gathering will become, and cause-and-effect separation will be destroyed. The destruction of all things is caused by conditions, which is the Buddha's view of reality. Therefore, in the Buddhist scriptures, it is often said, "Dhammas are dependently arisen, have no substance, dharmas are dependently arisen, are not fixed". No entity is the theory of "not-self". There is no fixed theory of "impermanence", which in the sutras often says "the practice of impermanence, the dharmas of no-self". There is never a simple cause forming an object, nor can there ever be a sudden birth of an object, but there must be enough conditions to do so. Therefore, the Buddha did not accept the theory of "one cause" and the theory of "no-cause". With this fact, today science has clarified, we have no doubt. Moreover, in front of our eyes, we see countless things, if we analyze them, they are all made up of causes and conditions, none of which is self-made or made by something. This self-evident truth further clarifies the Buddha's teaching. We clearly see Buddhism and science even though the time is far away, there is no dividing line. About human - When Buddha was in the world, he looked in the bowl of water and saw countless germs, in the Chinese scriptures there is a sentence "Buddha is consistent in the eight waters, eighty thousand four celestial insects" That is, the Buddha looked in the bowl of water and saw eighty thousand thousand (84000) germs. Today, thanks to microscopes, scientists see many germs in the water. Again, the Buddha saw in the human body see countless germs, in the Chinese Tripitaka there is a saying "in the human body, there are countless germs in the middle child." That means in the human body there are countless germs hiding inside. . This today we need only a little scientific knowledge is no doubt. Karma – If there is no one to arrange, how can all things be born, perish, and live in a certain order? The Buddha said, "Due to the force of karma, which motivates and attracts all things to form, when karma is finished, it is destroyed. Just as by the dynamics of karma, all things work in a certain order.” Karma is the driving force that attracts conditions to gather into the form of things; when the full force of karma is dispersed, things will be destroyed. Karma has the ability to attract things spinning in a certain orbit. Today scientists have said that due to the rotation and attraction of everything in the universe, the planets in the universe, whether large or small, are spinning in space and in a certain orbit. Even as small as an atomic particle, it also spins and twists tightly to form all things. This force of rotation and attraction is caused by karma. Karma is a force of habitual attraction, and at the same time sensing other objects of the same sex, so they are attracted. Due to the influence of karma, people and things in the world are formed and live in a certain extent, when the full karma of people and things destroys accordingly. Dual karma is convertible, not fixed, because it is the driving force. However, the theory of karmic retribution existed before the Buddha's time, derived from the Vedas; But with the spirit of respecting the truth, the Buddha considered the truth and immediately applied it to teach his disciples to practice. In it, the Buddha modified the deviant parts according to the Brahmin concept to make this theory more complete. Therefore, today everyone accepts the doctrine of karmic reincarnation as Buddhist. Buddhism focuses on people - The Buddha's place of knowledge is true, suitable for the truth, so it has been through a long time without being wrong or backward. The Buddha did not use that wonderful view to analyze the external environment, using the external environment to serve people. He only used that seeing and knowing to shine light directly on people, to see and know people thoroughly from both body and spirit. Knowing people well, the Buddha taught how to live as a human being, and at the same time, transform the body and mind to be at peace in the present and forever. Once the Buddha and the monks went to Simma forest, he held a handful of leaves in his hand and raised them to ask the bhikkhus.” “Are the leaves in my hand many or are the leaves in many?” The bhikkhus said, "The leaves in the Blessed One's hand are very few compared to the leaves in the forest." The Buddha said, "In the same way, show me as much as the leaves in the forest, the things I teach you are as few as the leaves in my hand” This makes it clear to us, even though it is true, that it is not necessary for constructive training. people are happy and happy now and in the future, Buddha still does not give instructions. Buddha only taught the necessary things to solve all suffering for human life. Because human life span is too short (60–70 years) there is not enough time to learn everything in this world. The most important part of a person is the spirit. The wrong spirit uses the body to create good karma, bad karma, painful and happy feelings in the present and in the future. So many of the Buddha's admonitions place heavy emphasis on the inner transformation of people. If the inner person is pure, the present life is full of meaning, after the end of life, all the bright and beautiful things are ready to wait. This is the focus of Buddha Shakyamuni's salvation of sentient beings, also of Buddhism. Buddhism advocates enlightenment, liberation, compassion, equality - The Buddha became a Buddha by enlightenment, his whole life of teaching also took enlightenment as the focus. A person who practices Buddhism without enlightenment is not a true disciple of Buddhism. Suffering is rooted in ignorance, in order to end suffering, ignorance must be eliminated. Only the light of enlightenment can dispel the veil of ignorance, besides enlightenment there is no other way to eliminate ignorance. As only light can overcome darkness, but light there is nothing that can eliminate darkness. Ignorance does not dissolve, how can suffering end. Therefore, the only way to save sentient beings' suffering is enlightenment. This is the main reason Buddhism takes enlightenment as the main reason. Through enlightenment, people can simplify what is true and false, clearly see what is binding and what is free, so they can choose a lifestyle that is appropriate to the truth, in accordance with the spirit of freedom. This freedom does not mean demanding from the outside, from others, but conquering their own vile desires, subduing the crazy delusions of the inner. True to the Buddha's teaching: Winning ten thousand troops is not equal to defeating oneself, defeating oneself is a glorious victory. The free spirit of Buddhism is the complete mastery of one's own body and mind. That is the absolute freedom, also the liberation of the Buddha. Bringing joy and relieving suffering to sentient beings is the compassion of Buddhism. Wishing everyone to end their suffering and be happy, Buddhist monks always raise the torch of the Dharma for everyone to bait, to light together in their eternal dark house. As a monk himself, he must overcome afflictions to be an example and instruct others to eliminate afflictions. Countless sufferings of sentient beings are derived from delusion and afflictions. Lack of material things is suffering. Yes, sometimes with excess material people still suffer as usual. So wisdom is a precious gem in exchange for wealth and career, wisdom is a torch that illuminates us to avoid going astray. Ending a part of afflictions, we get a part of peace, completely free of afflictions, so there is nothing to bother us. After opening the eyes of wisdom and removing all defilements, people will be fully happy and free. Buddhism only looks at all sentient beings as equal in nature, there is only a difference on karma. Karma is the birth and death of fluctuations, the nature has never changed. The birth and death changes are temporary, already It doesn't matter how much temporary difference is. The main thing is the permanent nature of living beings. So the Buddha often taught "All sentient beings have Buddha nature", that is the equal view of the Buddha. Seeing through this truth, we will stop being conceited and no longer dare to look down on anyone. This is the true moral foundation, so Bodhisattva Never Disparaging sees everyone saying, “I don't. dare to despise them, they will become Buddhas." If you already have Buddha-nature, you can't cultivate it, just because you haven't awakened and are lazy. Due to this insight, Buddhism takes enlightenment as a root, takes liberation as a fruit, takes compassion and equality as a living sap. These four factors are very close to civilized humanity. Any true civilization requires people to have enough wisdom, leisure, freedom, love to alleviate human suffering, equality, no class acceptance, no religious discrimination, race, skin color. If one of these four factors is missing, even though civilization is still not really civilized. From this perspective, we see that the Buddha was indeed far ahead of scientists; In the future, no matter how advanced civilization is, it will be difficult to surpass Buddhism.END=NAM MO SHAKAYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.23/10/2021.
