The meaning of the seventh lotus step: Buddhahood. Prince Siddhartha, after cutting off all ties, ordained as a monk to prove his life, knowing many previous lives, where he was born, what to do, in the six paths; All the stories of the past, preached by the Buddha himself and by the bhikkhus, are gathered together in the Sutta. The Six Steps of the Lotus: Practicing the Bodhisattva Way Thus, many kalpas before attaining Perfect Enlightenment, the Buddha also went through the six paths of samsara. The image of the wheel of samsara depicts the life and death of sentient beings in the six realms, ie the six realms: heaven, human, atula, hell, hungry ghosts and animals. Buddhist doctrine advocates not believing in a creator god, almighty, all-powerful, rewards and punishes people arbitrarily according to love and hate. Buddhist teachings explain the law of cause and effect very clearly. Deep belief in the law of equal cause and effect, helping people to have peace of mind, no matter how many afflictions occur, because: from body, speech, and mind, those who create good karma enjoy the results, those who create bad karma suffer the consequences; Even if it is the person you love most, you can't save or replace it. For example, a heavy stone must sink in water, and a light drop of oil will naturally float on the surface of the water, that is cause and effect. Deep belief in the law of cause and effect, good and evil, affects rebirth in the six realms of samsara (heaven, human, atula, hell, hungry ghosts and animals). Heavenly Realm: Born in heaven, a place of worldly bliss, enjoying created blessings. The Nhon Realm: Being born in the human world as a human being, rich or poor, good or bad. TuLa Realm: Birth of a noble family, family blessings, common karma. Hell: Born in a place of suffering, because evil karma is deep, good karma is small. The realm of the hungry ghosts: Born in an unclean place, because of poor karma, selfish greed. Animal Realm: Born in a place of animals, because of the killing karma, delusion is too heavy. Eight special causes and conditions converge for the Buddha's birth Although he lived in the six paths of reincarnation, in previous lives the Buddha was a Bodhisattva who lived with the Noble Eightfold Path (right view, right thought, right speech, right action). right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration) and regularly practice the Six Paramitas (giving, morality, patience, effort, meditation, and wisdom). Is it possible to escape from the six paths of birth and death by the effort of practicing Bodhisattva, practicing the Bodhisattva path of each individual in the world? The 7th step of the lotus flower says that it is possible, it is not because of God's grace, or God's special part for anyone, but it is because of great compassion, great compassion, great strength, Great effort of the self-cultivator, self-realization achieved only. Buddha taught: "Seeing and establishing knowing is the root of ignorance, seeing and knowing without establishing knowing is Nirvana." Seventh lotus step: Buddhahood The six steps of pure lotus are accumulated from the bodhisattva's conduct in the six paths. With a mind of compassion, purity, and wisdom, many lifetimes of practice, the Bodhisattva has given up his life and body, saved suffering and brought joy, and spread the light of compassion and wisdom to all beings. The meaning of the first 6 lotus steps represents reincarnation in the six paths. Prince Siddhartha stopped at the 7th step of the lotus, which is the last life, attained Perfect Enlightenment, right in this human realm. When the Buddha was born, he walked to the seventh lotus, attesting to a profound truth that is difficult to understand, difficult to think about. That is the pure Nirvana of the person who cultivates compassion and wisdom, feels himself clearly, and attains Buddhahood. Disciples of Buddhism, If you want to get rid of suffering in the 6 realms of samsara and enter the 7th lotus, reach the peaceful Nirvana without suffering anymore, you need to study and practice according to the Buddha's words: I people must fight strongly with the mind of greed, anger, and delusion, and must use the sword of wisdom to cut off the passions, lusts, and interests that people in the world consider precious and need to appropriate and enjoy. According to legend, as soon as he was born, Prince Tat Dat took 7 steps and had 7 lotus flowers to support his feet. When he stopped on the 7th lotus, Prince Siddhartha pointed to the sky, his left hand pointed to the ground, meaning that if you do good, you will be reborn in the upper realms (heaven, human, atula), if you do evil, you will fall. the lower realms (hell, hungry ghosts, animals) and declares: "Good heavens, only self-exclusive". Radio to celebrate Buddha's birthday: Thank life for being a child of Buddha In this life, Humans often live with a false mind, a false self, drifting according to the ceiling, dealing with market and discord, love and hate, changing depending on external good and bad conditions, so the mind is always restless, chaotic, afflicted, suffering. The essence of Buddhism teaches that people should know how to live with the true heart, true self, not clinging, not drifting, even though the world is impermanent and changing, the mind is still at ease. That is the profound meaning of the theory of no-self, or solipsism. The Buddha taught: Those who still have attachments are still attached to this self, this is mine, the self-conceited grasping is me, the self-conceited grasping this is my self, there are fluctuations. Who is not attached, time does not waver. Who does not waver, the time is despised. Who is despised time no longer accept. Who no longer clings, time does not come and go. Who does not come and go, there is no birth and death. Who no longer has birth and death, there is neither this life nor the next, not between two lives. This is the end of suffering. The greater the self-grasping, the greater the desire, the further away from Nirvana. The Buddha is a person of great compassion, great compassion, great wisdom, great power, far away from all evil dharmas, intelligently dispelling ignorance and afflictions, overcoming opposites (dualism), attaining Nirvana. Ordinary people often accept right and wrong, over and over, love and hate, good and bad, praise and blame, truth and falsehood, so they are dominated, bound, confused, ignorant of the cycle of birth and death, unable to escape. It is also because of the self-attachment that sentient beings sink in the sea of samsara's suffering. The Buddha taught the dharma of contemplation of no-self, looking at the four elements thoroughly, they are all made up of conditions. If you can't destroy your self-respect, you will still suffer, and still have birth and death. Transforming into enlightenment, separating from suffering and attaining happiness, stepping out of the six paths is liberation from birth and death.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.5/5/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
