Buddhism is the teaching of the Buddha, from the time he attained enlightenment on the fifteenth day of the fourth month (lunar calendar) at the Great Bodhi tree, for 45 years until the Buddha passed away Nirvana, also on full moon day of the fourth month (lunar calendar) in the forest of Kusinārā. Buddhism has three main parts: Buddhist Dharma study (Pariyattisāsana), Buddhist practice (Paṭipattisāsana) Dharma to become Buddhism (Paṭivedhasāsana) Correct Buddhist study as the basic foundation for properly developed Buddhist practice. When the Buddhist practice develops properly, the result is the Dharma to become Buddhism, which is the 4 Noble Paths - the 4 Noble Fruits and Nirvana, liberating the sufferings of birth and death in the three worlds and four species. What is Buddhist Dharma? In the Commentary to the Sutras, it is defined: Pariyatti ti tepiṭakam Buddhavacanaṃ sāṭṭhakathā Pāḷi Buddhist dharma is the Tripitaka Buddha language and the Pāḷi Commentary. Pāḷi is the common language of the Buddhas of the past, the Buddhas of the present, and the Buddhas of the future. Buddhist dharma includes the teachings and commandments of the Buddha during the 45 years from the time he attained the Buddha's Perfect Enlightenment until the Buddha passed away Nirvana, recorded in the Tripitaka, which which includes the words of disciples, devas, brahmas, etc., which are repeated or confirmed by the Buddha as well as Buddha's speech, and the Commentary is the Buddha's explanation scattered in the Tripitaka called Pakiṇṇa. -kadesanā lectures explaining the questions of the disciples, along with the explanations of the Arahants, collectively known as the Commentary. Dharma study is the basic foundation of Buddhism, without Buddhist dharma study, surely there will be no Buddhist practice and the Dharma to become Buddhism, no liberation from suffering, birth and death, reincarnation in the three worlds. If there is the right Buddhist study, then there is the right Buddhist practice. If there is the right Buddhist practice, then there is the Dharma to become Buddhism, which is the 4 Noble Paths - the 4 Holy Fruits and Nirvana, liberating the sufferings of birth and death and reincarnation. in the three worlds. 1- dharma of emancipation (VIMUTTIRASA) Buddhism has a single taste who is the one who liberates suffering as the Buddha taught: "Seyathāpi Pahārāda, mahāsamuddo ekaraso loṇaraso. Evamevaṃ warehouse Pahārāda, ayaṃ dhammavinayo ekaraso vimuttiraso; Ayampi Pahārāda, ayaṃ dhammavinayo ekaraso vimuttiraso…” Pahārāda, like the ocean there is only one taste, “salty”. In the same way, Pahārāda, this dharma and this law have only one taste, "the one who is free from suffering". Pahārāda, this dhamma and law has only one taste, "the one who liberates suffering". Classification of the entire teaching of the Buddha 2- Buddha's speech (BUDDHAVACANA) The entire teaching of the Buddha, the Buddha's speech is divided into 3 periods: the first Buddha speech (Paṭhama buddhavacana). Majihima buddhavacana (Majihima buddhavacana). The Last Buddha Speech (Pacchima buddhavacana). What is the first Buddhist saying? Siddhattha Bodhisatta attained enlightenment, at the Great Bodhi tree on the full moon day of the fourth month (lunar calendar), he is enjoying liberation for 7 weeks including 49 days. At that time, the Buddha himself preached two verses in his mind: "Anekajātisamsāram Sandhāvissam anibbisam Gahakāraṃgavesanto Dukkhājāti punappunam. Gahakaraka! dittho'si Puna geham na kāhasi Sabbā te phāsukā bhaggā Gahakūtam visaṅkhatam Visaṅkhāram gatam cittam Tanhānam trayamajjhagā" . 153- The "loving" worker who builds a "family" home, the Tathagata tries to find you, but has not yet found you. Therefore, birth and death, samsara for innumerable kalpas, Rebirth in the three worlds is suffering, 154- O craving, the builder of the house "body"! Now the Tathagata has met you! All the slopes of your house, your "afflictions", the Tathagata has completely destroyed it. The top of your house "ignorance" has also been destroyed. Now you no longer build a house of the Tathagata. The Tathagata's mind has realized Nirvana. By eliminating all cravings, the Tathagata has attained Arahantship. These two verses, which the Buddha preached in his mind, are the first Buddha's speech. What is the last buddhism? The Buddha traveled to preach the Dharma to save sentient beings with good conditions to save, everywhere, from the human realm to the sensual world, to the form world (there is no formless heaven, because this brahma world) without the aggregates of form (no ears to listen to the Dharma) for 45 years, day and night. On the full moon day of the fourth month (lunar calendar), the Buddha came to the Kusinara forest to pass away Nirvana. Before the passing of Nirvana, at the last watch, the Buddha reminded and advised the disciples headed by the monks that: "Handa dāni bhikkhave āmantayāmi vo Vayadhammā saṅkhārā Appamādena sampādetha" O monks, now the Tathagata is the Tathagata. Remind the children to teach them one last time. All conditioned dharmas have the state of permanent cessation, you should strive diligently to fulfill all the duties of the Four Noble Truths, by means of the unfailing dharma, to carry out the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. That is the Buddha's last word. Indeed, the Buddha ended the last sentence: "Appamādena sampādetha." From then on, no more words were taught. The Buddha entered the formless jhānas, the formless jhānas, and finally passed away Nirvana, called the Five Aggregates of Nirvana (khandhaparinibbāna), and then the five aggregates ceased, there are no other five aggregates to be reborn, to be completely liberated from suffering is to be liberated from all sufferings of birth and death in the three realms of existence. What is the Buddha's words in the middle period? Except for the first two verses of autobiography and the Buddha's last words, all the teachings and commandments of the Buddha remained for 45 years. It is the Buddha's middle period Buddha's speech. 3- dharma and law (DHAMMA VINAYA) The entire teaching of the Buddha is divided into two types: - Dharma (Dhamma) includes the Tripitaka and Abhidhamma. - Vinaya is the Vinaya. In the Great Nirvana Sutra (Mahāparinibbānasutta), before passing away Nirvana. The Buddha taught Venerable Ānanda that: "Yo vo Ānanda, mayā dhammo ca vinayo ca desito paññato, so vo mamaccayena satthā" 2 . nanda, the Dharma taught by the Tathagata, the Law established by the Tathagata, after the Tathagata has passed away from Nirvana, That Dharma and Law are your Gurus. According to the Commentary on the Great Nirvana Sutra, it is explained: The noun Dhamma: Dharma means the Sutra and Abhidhamma. Noun Vinaya: Law means the Vinaya. Tiṇi piṭakāni pañca nikāyā navaṅgāni caturasītidhammakkhandhasahassāni. All Dharma and Vinaya are divided into the Tripitaka, the Five Divisions, the Nine Chis, and the 84,000 Dharma Doors. - The Vinaya: Consists of 21,000 Dharma doors. - The Tripitaka: Consists of 21,000 Dharma doors. - Abhidhamma Abhidhamma: Includes 42,000 Dharma doors. The Buddha also explained that: "Iti imāni caturāsitidhammakkhandhasahassāni tiṭṭhanti, ahaṃ ekova parinibbāyāmi. Ahañca kho dāni ekova ovadāmi anusāsāmi, mayi parinibbute imāni caturāsitidhammakkhandhasahassāni tumhe ovadissanti amusāsissanti”. Thus, these 84,000 Dharma-doors exist, only the Tathagata has passed away from Nirvana. Indeed, Now only the Tathagata teaches you, follows and teaches you. After the Tathagata has passed away from Nirvana, there will be 84,000 Dharma-doors that are "Masters" who will teach you and follow you. Above is the commentary that the Buddha explained and taught to his disciples to understand clearly that: After the Buddha has passed away Nirvana, it is not that there is no longer a Master, but then, 84,000 The main method is that the Master will teach, will follow and teach the disciples. 4- Tripitaka (TIPIṬAKA) All the teachings of the Buddha, if divided by the organ, there are 3 organs: the Vinaya (Vinayapiṭakapāḷi). Sutta Pitaka (Suttantapiṭakapāḷi). Abhidhammapiṭakkapāḷi (Abhidhammapiṭakkapāḷi) a) The Vinaya (Vinayapiṭakapāḷi) Vinaya Pitaka includes the teachings of the Buddha. The Buddha issued the precepts for bhikkhus, bhikkhunis, and the practices of monks. what is allowed and what is not allowed, what should be done and what should not be done etc… The Vinaya Pitaka has 5 sets * The Pārājikapāḷi set includes the precepts: 4 precepts Pārājika 13 precepts Saṃghādisesa 2 precepts Aniyata 30 world regulation Nissaggiya pācittiya. * The set of Pācittiyapāḷi includes the world: 92 things Suddha pācittiya 4 things Pāṭīdesanīya 75 things Sekhiya. 7 things Adhikaraṇasamatha The precepts of bhikkhunis. * The Mahāvagga (Tibetan Law) This Mahāvagga Code, the Buddha preached about the attainment of the Buddha of Perfect Enlightenment, the story of the first turning of the Dharma wheel to save the group of 5 Bhikkhus, the Buddha issued the ordination permission. life of Sadi, Bhikkhu-bhikkhus etc.. * Cavagga Code This Cūḷavagga Code, the Buddha issued many practices to increase the work to the Bhikkhu-bhikkhus. In this set, the first time the Buddha allowed Mahāpajāpatigotamī to become a bhikkhuni in the Buddha's teachings, along with 500 Sakya female attendants and bhikkhuni, etc.. * Parivāra This Parivāra Code, The Buddha promulgated many things related to the precepts and many other issues… Those are the 5 sets of the Vinaya Pitaka, which the Buddha is the only one to regulate and issue to the Bhikkhus, Bhikkhunis; and the ranks of Saint Thanh Van disciples can not prescribe the precepts and the practice of increasing the ... The Vinaya has 3 special characteristics: – The Buddha preaches by the law (aṇādesanā). – The Buddha teaches according to errors (yathāparādhasāsana) – The Buddha instructs the bhikkhus to preserve the body and speech (saṃvarāsaṃvarakāthā). * How did the Buddha preach by law? The Buddha established the precepts, the practices of the increase, the allowed and not allowed, what to do and what not to do… to the bhikkhus, the bhikkhunis. Bhikkhus, bhikkhunis must strictly follow what the Buddha has prescribed, not to add or subtract. If anyone intentionally commits a wrongdoing, he or she must bear a heavy or light crime, depending on each precept, without exception. The Buddha is the only one who regulates and promulgates the Vinaya Pitaka, and the disciples of the Saints have no right to regulate anything. * How does the Buddha's teaching depend on error? When a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni commits an offense for the first time, is criticized by the world or by gods, damaging the reputation of the monks. At that time, the new Buddha established the precepts, issued to the Bhikkhu-bhikkhus, Bhikkhu-nus, to bring 10 benefits as follows: 1- Saṃghasuṭṭhutāya: To bring good to the Bhikkhu-Bhikkhu Sangha, Bhikkhuni Sangha. 2- Saṃghaphāsutāya: To bring peace to the Bhikkhu-Bhikkhu Sangha, the Bhikkhuni Sangha. 3- Dummaṅkūnaṃ puggalānaṃ niggahāya: To reprimand the bhikkhus, bhikkhunis break precepts, difficult to teach, not to be ashamed and afraid of sins. 4- Pesalānaṃ bhikkhūnaṃ phāsuviharāya: To bring peace to the bhikkhus, bhikkhunis know and respect the precepts. 5- Diṭṭhadhammikānaṃ āsavānaṃ saṃvarāya: To prevent calamities occurring in the present life. 6- Samparāyikānaṃ āsavānaṃ paṭighātāya: To eliminate the disasters of the four evil realms (hell, atula, hungry ghosts, animals) in the future life. 7- Appasannānaṃ pasādāya: To induce faith in those who do not have faith in the Three Jewels. 8- Pasannānaṃ bhiyyo bhavāya: To increase the faith of those who already have faith in the Three Jewels. 9- Saddhammaṭṭhitiyā: To make the "Dharma study, practice, and accomplishment" of the Dharma lasting for a long time. 10- Vinayānuggahāya: To keep the precepts strictly upheld. The Buddha established the precepts, after a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni made the first offense. Therefore, the Bhikkhu-bhikkhu, Bhikkhu-nuisant who commits the first mistake; That bhikkhu, that bhikkhuni does not violate that precept. The Buddha established precepts heavy or light, depending on the severity or lightness of the error. After the Buddha established the precepts, issued to the Bhikkhu-khikkhus, the Bhikkhunis-ni; If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni intentionally breaks that precept, that bhikkhu or bhikkhuni is said to have broken that precept. * How did the Buddha instruct Bhikkhus, Bhikkhunis to keep body and speech? The Buddha issued precepts to bhikkhus, bhikkhunis, in order to teach bhikkhus and bhikkhunis to keep their body and speech restrained, and to abstain from all evil actions by body and speech. Bhikkhus, bhikkhunis keep the precepts pure, able to destroy gross defilements (vitikkamakilesa), As the basis for the practice of meditation, the practice of insight meditation was developed. These are the special characteristics of the Vinaya. Bhikkhu-bhikkhu precepts The Buddha established and promulgated the precepts of bhikkhus in Bhikkhupātimokkhasīla with 227 precepts as follows: 1) Precepts Pārājika has 4 precepts of non-combination. 2) Precepts Saṃghādisesa has 13 precepts. 3) Precepts Aniyata has 2 indeterminate precepts. 4) Precepts Nissaggiya pācittiya has 30 precepts for the treatment of equanimity.

In the bhikkhupātimokkhasīla, there are 227 precepts, if calculated according to the Vinaya, the precepts of Bhikkhu-bhikkhus a total of 91,805,036,000 precepts. As the Visuddhimagga teaches: “Navakoṭisahassāni, Asitisatakoṭiyo. Paññāsasatasahassāni, Chattiṃsa ca punāpare. Ete saṃvaravinayā, Sambuddhena pakāsitā Peyyālamukhena niddiṭṭhā, Sikkhā vinayasaṃvare.” The Buddha established the precepts in the Vinaya Pitaka by a broad understanding including 91,805,036,000 precepts, to keep body and speech restrained from all evil actions. Bhikkhuni Bhikkhuni's precepts The Buddha issued regulations on Bhikkhunipātimokkhasīla's precepts, including 311 precepts as follows: 1) Precepts Pārājika has 8 precepts. 2) Precepts Saṃghādisesa has 17 precepts. 3) Precepts Nissaggiya pācittiya has 30 precepts. 4) Precepts Suddha pācittiya has 166 precepts. 5) Precepts Pāṭidesamāya has 8 precepts. 6) Precepts Sekhiya has 75 precepts. 7) Article Adhikaraṇasamatha there are 7 dharmas.

There are 7 types of āpatti, which are divided into 2 main categories. 1. Heavy āpatti has 2 types of Pārājika āpatti: Bhikkhu, Bhikkhuni, who violates one of these precepts; That bhikkhu, that bhikkhuni has lost the bhikkhu and bhikkhuni's holy life, they have to revert back to the household life (or down to become a Sadi).

A bhikkhu, bhikkhuni, who commits one of these five offenses, bhikkhu, that bhikkhuni may ask for repentance with another bhikkhu, so that his precepts may become pure again. The Treasure of Precepts In the Pitaka of the Parivāra Vinaya, the Buddha taught that the fruits of keeping the precepts pure bring benefits according to the sequence of cause and effect as follows: 1) Keeping the precepts clean brings benefits. The benefit is that there is an end to the purity of the six roots. 2) There is restraint, bringing benefits is the mind is not hot, the mind is cool. 3) The mind is not hot-tempered, it is beneficial to have a mind of pleasure and joy. 4) The mind is happy and happy, bringing benefits is having a happy mind. 5) Joyful mind, brings the benefit of a calm and peaceful mind. 6) The mind is quiet and pure, bringing the benefit of peace of mind. 7) Peace of mind, beneficial for meditation. 8) The mind meditates, brings benefit, has the knowledge to see according to the true nature of things. 9) Knowledge of seeing according to the true nature of dharmas, bringing benefits to knowledge of meditative wisdom, boredom of the five aggregates. 10) Knowledge of meditation wisdom is boring to the five aggregates, bringing benefits to the cessation of craving by means of the Noble Path of Wisdom. 11) Cessation of craving, bringing benefits, and liberating suffering with the Noble Fruit of Wisdom. 12) Having been freed from suffering by the Noble Fruition Wisdom, it is beneficial to the wisdom that discerns and knows that the liberation of suffering is already done. 13) The contemplative wisdom knows that it is liberated from suffering, bringing the benefit of realizing Nirvana, liberating suffering without clinging. Practitioners keep the precepts pure and complete, as the foundation to bring many benefits to all good dharmas, to the practice of meditation, to the practice of wisdom meditation, to the noble benefit of attaining the Noble Path - Sainthood and Nirvana, liberation from the sufferings of birth and death, samsara in the three worlds. The Treasure of Learning the Vinaya In the Pavivāra Vinaya, Venerable Upāli asked the Blessed One about the fruit of learning the Vinaya. The Buddha taught that: Upāli, a bhikkhu who studies the Vinaya Pitaka has five treasures: 1) he himself knows how to keep the precepts clean. 2) I am the refuge of others, who come to learn to understand the precepts. 3) Be a courageous person of goodwill in the congregations. 4) Being the one who overcomes the inner enemy of afflictions and the external enemy by means of Dharma. 5) As a follower of the Dharma, in order to maintain the Dharma, it will last forever. Those are the 5 treasures of thoroughly learning the Vinaya. b) Sutta Pitaka (Suttantapiṭaka) The Sutta Pitaka is a collection of suttas and verses preached by the Buddha, as well as a number of suttas and verses by saints Arahants, devas, brahmas, kings, and samanas. , Brahman. Those sutras and verses that are repeated or confirmed by the Buddha are considered good words. The Tripitaka consists of five large volumes of the School of Sutras: Includes long suttas. The Middle School Sutras: Consists of the average suttas. The Same Kind of Sutra: Consists of suttas with similar points grouped together. Branch of Sutra: Including the suttas with clear methods. The Minor Sutras: Includes suttas and stanzas that are not included in the above four sets, which are grouped into this Minor. The Canon has three special characteristics – the Buddha preaches the Dhamma using the appropriate language (vohāradesanā). - The Buddha's teaching depends on the conditions of sentient beings (yathālomasāsana). - The Buddha taught sentient beings to destroy wrong views (diṭṭhiviniveṭhanakathā). * How did the Buddha preach using appropriate language? The Buddha preached the Dharma using language appropriate to each sentient being. Therefore, the Buddha preached the Dharma to save sentient beings, including many different classes such as bhikkhus, bhikkhunis, male servants, female attendants, kings, brahmins, people, even gods and monks. Gods etc. Every time sentient beings listen to the Buddha's teaching, they clearly understand the true dharma because the language is appropriate according to the individual level of each being. Therefore, there are some who have attained the status of a Stream-winner, some that have attained the status of a Saint-Returner, some who have attained the status of a Saint-Non-returner, and some who have attained the status of a Saint-Arahant, depending on their ability to practice holy conduct. - the secret of each being created. There are also auspicious numbers, cultivate the perfection of practice in order to attain the Noble Path - the Holy Fruit in the future in this life, or in the next life. * How does the Buddha's teaching depend on the conditions of sentient beings? The Buddha has two special wisdoms: – Indriyaparopariyattañāṇa: Wisdom knows the 5 dharma masters, old or immature, of each living being. – Āsayānusayañāṇa: Wisdom knows the hidden defilements of each being. Therefore, the Buddha clearly knew that sentient beings had good conditions to attain the Noble Path - Sainthood and Nirvana, or did not attain it. Therefore, the Buddha preached the dharma in accordance with the basis and good conditions of that sentient being. When those sentient beings listen to the Buddha's righteous Dharma, they can easily attain the Noble Path - Sainthood and Nirvana, and destroy their afflictions and cravings. For example, a physician who is talented and virtuous, diagnoses accurately, knows the patient's illness, immediately gives good medicine, so the patient gets better. * How did the Buddha teach sentient beings to destroy wrong views? The Buddha knew that each sentient being has different wrong views (there are 62 types of wrong views), the Buddha taught that sentient beings generate right views, so they can destroy wrong views based on self-grasping, and other types of wrong views are also destroyed. at once, attaining the Noble Path - Sainthood and Nirvana easily. Those are the three special characteristics of the Tripitaka. c) The Abhidhamma Pitaka includes the sublime and wonderful True Meanings (Paramatthadhamma), which are dharmas with the true nature such as: good dharma, unwholesome dharma, non-virtuous dharma, not unwholesome dharma... Those dharmas are the five aggregates, the 12 bases, the 18 precepts… not me, not people, not men, women, living beings…. The Abhidhamma Pitaka was preached by the Buddha at the Thirty-Three Heavens in the 7th summer of the Buddha, In order to save the Buddha's mother, this present life is the male god Santussita in the heaven of Dau Da Thien. The male deity Santussita appeared in the heaven of the Thirty-Three Heavens and listened to the Buddha preaching this Abhidhamma for three months. The male deity Santussita attained the status of a Stream-winner along with 80 billion devas, and the Brahmas also attained the Noble Path - High and low depending on the perfection of each person's ability. The Abhidhamma Tripitaka consists of 7 sets: 1- The Dhammassaṅganīpāḷi: The Dhammassaṅganīpāḷi: The Dhammassaṅganīpāḷi includes all the true meanings of the Dharma into a group of Mātikā titles, with all 132 mātikā divided into two types: Tika mātikā: The French title has three dharma includes 32 mātikā. Duka mātikā: The French title has two factors including 100 mātikā… 2- The Vibhaṅgapāḷi: The Analytical France includes the analytic dharmas into 18 types, aggregates (khandha), origin (āyatana), gender (dhātu) etc… 3 - The Dhātukathāpāḷi series: The Classification includes the dharmas classified into the five aggregates, 12 bases, 18 precepts, and four truths (sacca). 4- The Pugalapaññattipāḷi: The Set of Personalities distinguishes different classes of people. 5- The Kathāvatthupāḷi: The Commentary on the problem of breaking all false doctrines, returning to the Dharma. 6- The Yamakapāḷi Series: The Duality Series includes questions and answers that go together in pairs. 7- The Paṭṭhānapāḷi: The Conditional System explains about 24 interrelated conditions. This Order of Conditioned Relationships is the largest and broadest, most profound and subtle in Buddhism. The Abhidhamma Pitaka has three special characteristics – the Buddha preaches on the True Meaning (Paramatthadesanā). - The Buddha preached the teaching of sentient beings depending on the conditions to break self-grasping (yathādhammasāsana). - The Buddha preached the analysis of nama and rupa (nāmarāpaparicchedakathā). * How did the Buddha preach about the true meaning of the Dharma? The Buddha himself realized the truth of the Four Noble Truths, attained the 4 Noble Truths - the 4 Noble Truths and Nirvana, became the Buddha of Perfect Enlightenment, the only one who understood all the truths of the Dharma (paramatthadhamma) that is the mind. (citta), mental factors (cetasika), material phenomena (rūpa) and Nibbāna (Nibbāna). The Buddha of Perfect Enlightenment is especially full of 5 Ñeyyadhamma dharmas, so he has the ability to define the language of truth and meaning, to teach this Abhidhamma Tripitaka. In addition, there is not a single person capable of teaching this true meaning, because they are not the fully Enlightened Buddha. * How does the Buddha teach sentient beings depending on the conditions to break self-grasping? The Buddha clearly knew the wrong views of different beings according to the self-grasping. - The number of sentient beings with wrong views according to clinging to nama dhammas as self (self) is heavier than clinging to rupa dhammas as self (self). To save that group of beings, the Buddha preached the five aggregates (khandha) as non-self. Because, in the five aggregates there are four mental aggregates: feeling, perception, mental formations, consciousness belonging to nama is non-self, and a material aggregate belonging to rupa is also not-self. - The number of sentient beings who have wrong views according to the matter of grasping the materiality as self (self) is heavier than clinging to the nama dhamma as self (self). To save this group of sentient beings, the Buddha preached the twelve bases (āyatana) as non-self. Because, out of the 12 sense bases, there are 10 sense bases: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and form, sound, smell, taste, and touch that belong to rupa which is not-self. The rest of the mind base belongs to nama and a part of it belongs to nama and rupa is not-self. - The number of sentient beings who have wrong views according to the equivalent of nama and rupa dhammas as self (self). To save that group of sentient beings, The Buddha preached the 18 precepts (dhātu) as non-self. Because, of the 18 precepts, there are 10: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and form, sound, smell, taste, and touch that belong to rupa which is not-self. The remaining 7 precepts: the eye-consciousness element, the ear-consciousness element, the ratio-consciousness element, the tongue-consciousness element, the body-consciousness element, the mind-consciousness element, and the nama-rupa-consciousness element are no-self, while the dharma-base belongs to nama and rupa dhamma. No-self, etc. The Buddha taught all sentient beings to see clearly, to know that all dharmas are not-self, not me, not men, not women, not sentient beings..., to break self-grasping. * How did the Buddha explain the analysis of nama and rupa? The Buddha preached analytically for sentient beings to see clearly, to know clearly naming dhammas, rupa dhammas, each nama dhamma, each rupa dhamma has its own true nature, has its own state, and has three general states: the state of impermanence, the state of suffering, the state of no-self, to destroy the wrong view, see wrong attachment from nama dharma, from material dharma for being our self; destroy the mind of craving in nama dhamma, rupa dhamma that is mine, destroy the conceited mind that considers me superior to others, equal to people, inferior to others... That is the special characteristic of the Abhidhamma Tripitaka. The Precious Fruit of Studying the Tripitaka - One who strictly follows and strictly follows the Vinaya, keeps pure and complete virtues, thanks to pure precepts as the foundation, relies on precepts to meditate, conduct insight meditation, leading to the attainment of Arahantship with the Tam Minh, due to the precious power of the study of the Vinaya. Those who are well versed in the Tripitaka have pure precepts as a foundation, to conduct meditation leading to the attainment of the eighth jhāna, use the jhāna as the foundation, rely on the jhāna as an object, conduct insight meditation, leading to enlightenment. attained the status of Arahant with Luc Thong, due to the fruitful power of the study of the Tripitaka. - Those who know the Abhidhamma Pitaka have precepts as a foundation, conduct meditation leading to the attainment of the Arahantship with the Four Analytical Wisdoms, due to the power of learning the Abhidhamma Pitaka. PAÑCANIKĀYA The entire teaching of the Buddha, if divided by series (nikāya), then there are 5 sets including 40 volumes based on the 6th collection of Tripitaka at Kaba Aye cave, Yangon in Myanmar. School of Sutras (Dīghanikāyapāḷi) Middle School of Sutras (Majjhimanikāyapāḷi) Same Kind of Sutras (Samyuttanikāyapāḷi) Sub-classes of Sutras (Aṅguttaranikāyapāḷi) Minor Disciplines (Khuddakanikāyapāḷi) 1- What is the School of Sutras?
