Spring arrives at the Buddha's door In the sacred moment, transitioning between the old year and the new year, everyone expresses their wishes, a sincere heart, a candle of incense, a prayer to the Buddha's body, the great calendars Patriarch respectfully prays that the Three Jewels of the ten directions bless foolish wishes. In the sacred moment, transitioning between the old year and the new year, everyone expresses their wishes, one respect, one incense stick, one prayer. on the body of the Buddha, the great Patriarchs. May the Three Jewels of the ten directions bless those noble wishes soon to come true. It can be said that there is no spring more beautiful than the spring at Buddha's door. Because, when coming to the sacred place, most people are aware of the cultural and spiritual values, the sacred soul of the Vietnamese people blends in each white smoke, the high red tile roof, and even in the sound of the temple bells. serenity. Because: "The roof of the temple protects the soul of the nation The eternal life of the Patriarchs" No matter who you are, wherever you are, whatever you do, on the first day of the new year, Vietnamese people always turn their heart, spend a whole day going to the temple to worship. Buddha, may all the peace come to the family. When the dawn of a new day begins, it is also the time when people flock to the temple to pay homage to the Buddha and wish the teacher New Year in the joy of the spring day. The spring color at the Buddha's door is more intense not only by the colors of apricot flowers and colored lights but also by the beautiful colors of the national ao dai. Although today, the Ao Dai has been changed by modern and concise costumes, but not so that the Ao Dai has been lost or forgotten. No matter how fast life changes, But on holidays, the Ao Dai is still the most elegant, cute and appropriate outfit. Overseas Vietnamese have always been the pioneers in restoring the beauty of national culture. For them, being able to wear the Ao Dai to the pagoda or going to the street on Tet holiday is an indescribable sacred honor and pride. Because in a foreign land, the Ao Dai is the symbol of the Vietnamese people, the Vietnamese tradition. Wearing ao dai, not only to beautify oneself but also to beautify the whole nation, is also to introduce the image of Vietnam to international friends. More and more young people come to the temple, this shows that the awareness of the value of the national New Year's Day where the Buddha's door has been raised has been raised. The image of young people clasping their hands to worship the Buddha and salute the teachers is no longer strange today. They go to the temple to learn the teachings, to pray for good luck, to find a moment of peace in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Many young people have commented: "Buddhism today is very close, the image of the friendly, peaceful and simple teacher has left a beautiful impression on our souls. When we come to Buddhism, many of our worries and deadlocks have been resolved ..." This is a testament to a positive Buddhism, a timely and suitable entry-level Buddhism. The gentle smile of Mr. Duong Lai Tu Thi Maitreya Ton Phat is also the closest and dearest image in the first day of spring. Entering the gate of Tam Quan, people completely leave behind the troubles of the old year. With folded hands respectfully bowing to His image to ask for blessings, to ask for refreshment from Him. From adults to children, no one was uncomfortable seeing Him. And in Buddhism he is the future Buddha after Shakyamuni Buddha, Inheriting the teaching of sentient beings in this Saha realm, the spring of the nation is also the "Spring of Maitreya". His image is not only symbolic but also deeply philosophical. With a big belly and a bright smile, he sat peacefully in the midst of a life full of storms, but his heart was unmoved. Therefore, when celebrating His Holiness, everyone should also visualize his image expressed in the following verse: "Lord Maitreya sits on a cliff Two bare feet, graceful posture Despite the change, On his lips still nameless smile." Or: "The big belly can contain and contain things that cannot be contained in the world. Loving-kindness is often equanimous, releasing the things that are difficult to let go of the world." The smile without a name is the "meditation" smile, the smile of those who have gone beyond the ego, the loss, the market, the right and the left. The world laughs and laughs is easy to see, but sometimes we also have to laugh in tears, laugh in sorrow and pain. His big belly wasn't because he drank a lot of alcohol, it wasn't because he lacked physical exercise. With that belly, He can contain all that the world cannot contain. Hatred, injustice, greed, anger, delusion, jealousy, contention... He all accommodated that big belly. Because that belly is the belly of the wisdom of emptiness, the ultimate wisdom. He used the wisdom of Prajna, shine a light on all things to see clearly the nature of the combination, the dissolution, and the non-attachment to everything, everything in the world is crazy. Moreover, thanks to his compassion and tolerance, he was able to completely let go of the things that the world could not let go of. That is beauty, wealth, fame, good food, good sleep. Going to the temple, standing in front of the statue of him, people should understand more about this meaning, so that going to the temple in early spring brings many benefits. Yellow apricot branches and red peach blossoms represent the spring colors of the national spring. On the first day of spring, people who travel in spring to pick buds should also create for themselves a bright smile like apricot flowers, a soul as loving as peach blossoms. Not only that, apricot flower is also a symbol of bright and radiant wisdom. Peach blossom is a symbol of compassion, generosity, always living for others, for the benefit of all species. Let's practice, Contemplate to see that you are always full of the beauty of two wonderful flowers in the national flower garden. May the happy day of the nation always blend into the spring day at the Buddha's door so that the image of yellow apricots, red peaches forever blooming in the flower garden of world, concentration and wisdom. May everyone always know how to respect, love each other, give trust and friendly smiles on the first day of spring, come into life so that life is always peaceful, the world is always peaceful.
