Economic concepts in practice Amitabha Buddha.

Many practice Buddhism (1) practice to transform suffering into real peace. Buddhist mindfulness is one of the legal subjects. Buddhist concept here that is reciting the name of Amitabha, the cardinal realms of Bliss (Sukhavati, Great Happiness).

In the Amitabha, 18th and prayer, a prayer in 48 of Amitabha, the Buddha Amitabha vow to lead beings diligent professionals maintain his title in life, birth in water Ecstasy (volunteer 18). Ecstasy, as for that misery, is extremely happy world, where all beings are no longer doing so the anguish and only fully enjoy wellbeing.

Despite the happy talk is entitled, but the goal of the Bliss Bridge reborn to not enjoy it happily. The goal of the Bliss Bridge reborn to be perfect enlightenment or the Buddha. In other words, the realm of Bliss just means dark environment or win help people be born "no retrogression" on the path to enlightenment, or even retrogression on the path to achieve true happiness .
1. Bliss World: Means of supreme enlightenment

First of all, known as Ecstasy because the environment there is very nice. Soil is made of pure gold, and all places are decorated with golden railings grade seven, seven-story golden net, and seven precious trees. There are countless lakes are made of precious materials such as gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, conch, etc ...; and pure water in lakes, fragrant. In a lotus pond has wonderful flavor and shine brightly. The sky is always flowering Man-momentum-la (Mandarava) fell six times day and night and often orchestral music heaven. In space there is always the gentle sounds of the beautiful bird seed, such as White Crane, Confucius Duke, British martial arts and relics (by Amitabha Buddha's incarnation), said the law takes as five factors, five forces , Seven and Eight Sacred Bodhi direct part (2) Beyond habitat as described in a generalized way of doing Amitabha as stated above, the main part of the Pure creation is the presence Amitabha - the cardinal, the Holy immeasurable them and the public. Amitabha negative translation from Sanskrit Amita, that is infinite - immeasurable light (Amitabha) and infinite life span (Amitayus). Amitabha Buddha with halo projector around ten and infinite life span. Light symbolizes immeasurable profound wisdom and boundless life-symbol of compassion, because Amitabha Buddha's head long wanted to save sentient beings. Scripture they are the teachers of the life and photography of Amitabha Buddha, Bodhisattvas including (3) and the results showed one of four St. (4).

The people who are in the process of practice, the edification and guidance of Amitabha Buddha and bodhisattvas. Based on 48 vows of Amitabha Buddha, every citizen in the realm of Ecstasy are 32 general good (prayer 3), muscular body, not sickness (volunteer 32), infinite life span (volunteer 15) , no longer have to worry about physical life as food and clothing (prayer 37), and most importantly the minds of every citizen are targeted towards the enlightenment (volunteer 12).
nutshell , the world's Bliss means supreme help them to "no retrogression" on the path to enlightenment. Supreme means is: good environment, economy full, healthy body, there is a close intellectual and learning practice with the Saints ie Amitabha Buddha and St. them. Anyone who attempts to minds towards a goal, is living in good environment, health and economic conditions stabilize, along with tons of encouragement encouragement mate, sooner or later he will achieve the objectives as set out.
2. Tin (saddhà, Confidence): There is the Pure or not?
Actually there is a world of Ultimate Bliss means supreme enlightenment is not? In the Amitabha Buddha Shakyamuni Buddhas of the ten directions and has repeatedly reminded the audience of the Contact Tri Assembly and all beings should "believe" with the Pure and the media as the supreme described above. To demonstrate the Pure there, we have to clearly understand the meaning the word "Faith". The word "Trust" in its most authentic Buddhist Buddhist news, and news Increase French news. According to the Vimamsaka, to dispel doubts and to establish strong belief in the practice of the Buddha allowed the monks and learn questioned carefully about His perfect enlightenment. Then, the Buddha advised monks should dwell belief as follows: "I believe in Christ Teacher: He is fully Enlightened, His Dharma is preached and monks are practicing the virtues of liberation "(5).

And Buddha emphasized that this belief must be based on knowledge and reason (6). Faith as taught by the Buddha on how to contact the belief world of Ultimate Bliss? World News with Bliss is on the basis of the French believe, that is to believe in the teachings of the Buddha and the Buddha's teachings believe the doctrine that is believed Causation, Karma, Dependent students (or impermanence, suffering and non-self ). In other words, we believe in the teachings of the Four Great (7).

Based on the teachings of Karma Causation and we believe or know is there is the world of Ultimate Bliss. Causation law is common law, not much impact in the world, but also in the realm of human morality. Related to the field of ethics, if we create bad karma, bad karma capability of leading us into the world of evil and vice versa. If we create positive karma evil in our world is the world miserable as hell, hungry ghost and animal; and conversely, if we create the world's super friendly to us as the Pure. Human mind is extremely good here reciting the name of Amitabha, together with the export activities of the body and on the basis of compassion consistent with the nature of Amitabha Buddha.

As such, we believe or know is there is the world of Ultimate Bliss is based on the law and Retribution Causation, Causation and the law and the law of Karma is common that all of us who can recognize and experience in life. This is the meaning the word "Faith" - based on knowledge and reason - are in the business Vimamsaka Buddha said, as quoted above.
At this point, there is an important question to be raised, that is, if the world is based on the belief Bliss, Causality and Retribution clear and understandable so, why at the end of trading Amitabha Buddha Shakyamuni said that it was "unbelievable Economic Justice"? The "hard news" here should be interpreted as "do not live, or not to practice."

Although our understanding of cause and effect and Retribution in mind, but we do not have to live or practice it by heart. What we know, but we do not want to live with that knowledge, it is called "unbelievable." Most of us believe and live like what? Most of us like to believe in eternal happiness from money, fame, brings physical comfort, and live with them by heart. In fact, things like money, fame, material comforts are impermanent and can not bring eternal happiness to people.
One other important thing needs to be pointed out here that, most Buddhist teachings Buddhist mindfulness practice was based on a number of theoretical and personal experience to believe in the existence of the Pure. The theory and personal experience should be explained and supplemented (8) through light and Industrial Causation teachings.

For those who have great wisdom, if diligent effort Buddha, they will have acquired spiritual - for example, achieved concentration or Samadhi Buddhist concept (Samadhi). For those who are busy with work and family tasks livelihood, if diligently Buddha, they will be "reborn industrial zone".
3. Practice vows and
rule of Amitabha, to be born into the Pure, set apart from the world trust with Ecstasy with the means at its goal, one must vow and practice concepts Buddha. This vow is vowing news about Ecstasy realms. It is very important that in doing Amitabha Buddha Shakyamuni Buddhas of the ten directions and has repeatedly advised students to perform. Ecstasy vowing ie determine destination and its ideals. Destination is the Pure and immediate goal is to become Buddhas or achieve perfect enlightenment.

If someone reciting Buddha Amitabha without vowing Bliss - despite major merit by reciting Buddha - he will not be born of water Ecstasy. This can be compared to a person who is doing a job that you do not know to do this job, or a person walking on the path that I would not know where to go.

Parallel to the establishment of trust and vowing, one must practice reciting Buddha Amitabha. Mindfulness (Sati, Mindfulness) means to focus and track record. Meditators focus and track record by reciting loudly, small gift, anniversary silent, or thought in the mind of Amitabha Buddha's name. In the Amitabha Buddha Shakyamuni taught that: "If a good son or daughter who wants healthy living in the realms of Ultimate Bliss, then he must recite Amitabha with a heart disorder is not complicated, or a day, two days, three days, four days, five days, six days or seven days. He, until death will see Amitabha Buddha and the saints we out front. In that moment, he was the center of the dwell in, no crazy and scattered; so he will be born right on the water Ecstasy. "
Thus, it is important in the practice of reciting Buddha Amitabha to be born to the most demanding practitioners interested. To get the best results is the heart, or a heart disorder are not complicated, he should first recite the Buddha's diligent efforts and see Buddhist concept as a main career in life. In other words, the heart of the practice is often thought of Amitabha and express this in mind through actions and words by fasting, almsgiving, offering the Three Jewels, loving, non-sexual misconduct and living life with Advanced degrees (keep the Five or ten people). In the passage above says that the yogi reciting Buddha Amitabha a day or two days or so ... this is the typical amount of time.

The reality of life, very rare lifelong Buddhist concept that can not single-mindedly recite the Buddha or a day, or two days before death. Because the concept of Amitabha see as the main business of life, to that person imbued with the essence of Amitabha, that compassion and wisdom, and the inevitable result is this attention will lead current practitioners Bliss was born after death. This assertion is based on the teachings and Industrial Causation. The so-called "reborn industrial zone" or take birth now also be explained according to this principle. Bring birth now means to that person nianfo still afflictions of greed, hatred, jealousy, selfishness, yet to be born Ecstasy, by as Amitabha seed in the meditator's mind that too much. Now how strong, will now lead the industry in creating world corresponding to that now.

Of course, the author of tropical reborn now, compared with the practitioner has achieved the Buddhist concept (samādhi, Concentration) to spend a longer time to practice Virtue, concentration, wisdom (or five factors, five forces, Seven and Eight Sacred Bodhi section director) to be enlightened.
4. Buddhist Mindfulness and Meditation

The word "mindfulness" as explained above, is to focus and track record. Buddhist mindfulness is the focus track, record title, image and virtues of the Buddha. Amitabha Buddha's anniversary remembrance, focus and track record title, image and virtues of the Buddha Amitabha. The purpose of the false notion of Amitabha Buddha, according to Buddhist Mindfulness practice, as to the Amitabha; in other words, to achieve enlightenment with infinite wisdom and infinite compassion as the Buddha Amitabha.

Those who are to be born and live in the realm of Bliss without such enlightened people diligence Buddha, or in other words they have to practice Virtue, concentration, wisdom until enlightenment as Amitabha .
Meditation (Dhyana, Meditation), by definition of Buddhism is training methods or purification of the mind, including two-correlated; The (samādhi, Concentration) which is set to center; and Mindfulness (Sati, Mindfulness) focus on tracking and object recognition meditation.

Focusing attention and focus on monitoring and object recognition (as the subject of meditation as breathing, body shop impure, etc ...) in order to discern the nature of the object is dependent arising, or not and often selfless. When directly receiving (intellectual ability) the nature of the object is dependent arising, or impermanence and selflessness, detachment to that person craving and clinging to what you love and wish we were there in perpetuity. The pain, sadness, anxiety, frustration and fear of man in life is the result born of the desire of what you love be eternal.

But life is impermanent; so what your wishes are eternal love will never achieve. Consequence of this is the desire for eternal disappointment, sadness, pain and sorrow. Seeing the nature of the object of meditation is impermanent immediately see the impermanence of human life. Do see this, the meditator's mind at peace itself, no longer sad, sadness, anxiety and fear dominate life. Enlightenment and became the Buddha, saying simply, is the recognized legs (from the intellectual abilities) are interdependent nature or impermanence and selflessness and human life through meditation.
Seen from method and target practice between Buddhist mindfulness and meditation practice, we find both similarities: The use and mindfulness practice as a method to achieve enlightenment. In addition, there is a Buddhist concept of the six themes of meditation (9), if there is a difference between Buddhist mindfulness practice and meditation, the only difference is the difference of "grace" or the favorable conditions help for the practice.

Compared who practice meditation practice, Buddhist practitioners have been winning concept is charming environment Bliss progress to help cultivate any rot, and practitioners in mind the Buddhist concept has always been peaceful because there is Buddha Amitabha Da protection concept. This is one of the main reasons why the practice of reciting Buddha Amitabha suitable for all levels and is popular in Mahayana countries such as Vietnam, China, Japan and Korea National ...
5. Pure bliss and

Finally, a minor point to be raised here is the subtle distinction between the two words, and the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Ultimate Bliss (Sukhavati) is the world's Buddha Amitabha made cardinal. Pure (Pure Land) is the clear words from the word translated "the Buddha" (Buddhaksetra), or a world made by a cardinal Buddhas. If this sense, the word Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and can be used interchangeably, meaning we can call realm or Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss of Amitabha Buddha.

However, if you understand the meaning of terms in the pure land is the Pure Land by the reflection of a pure heart "Purity of mind is the pure country" as in doing Duy Ma said, there are subtle differences between the two words language. First of all, anyone who achieved enlightenment, or the mind is pure, no greed, hatred and delusion, the shelter or the person's world is called Pure. In this sense, if there are people in the Saha world, that the world in which we live (audio Saha translated from Sanskrit Saha, meaning suffering or patience) is a pure heart, greed is no longer cost distribution, ie the realm of Pure Saha. More importantly, Bliss world exists despite how much longer, it is also visible world. Have tangible, perhaps, of course, must be governed by impermanence.

In contrast, Pure is pure realm constant, due to the reflection of a pure heart. The term "permanent chastity" here must be understood in a broad sense, ie environment, life circumstances or inability to govern, make false mental craving, pleasure and pain, fear, anxiety , etc ... for my heart was pure practitioners or enlightenment.

Therefore, if anyone is interested in her realm of pure Ta, or have attained enlightenment, this is the Pure Land. Because subtle differences between words that the writer intentionally theme is "Nembutsu teachings" instead of "Pure Land teachings."
6. Benefits of Buddhist mindfulness practice

Method for reciting Buddha Amitabha Bliss reborn help practitioners no longer retrogression on the path to enlightenment. Straight forward on the path of enlightenment that is straight forward on the path to achieve true happiness. Interior rot on the path to enlightenment is synonymous with experience pain, distress, anxiety and fear.

In the Amitabha Buddha Shakyamuni expressed contrasting worlds, grace and adversity upon sentient beings on the path of enlightenment practice: one side is the world of Ultimate Bliss with the media as supreme presented in section 1 and the Saha world is full of suffering and adversity: impure life, misconceptions, full of negativity, greed, hatred and delusion, everything is impermanent and short lives ( five degenerations). Looking at the nature of the five degenerations, we will see the urgent interests of the Pure to practice like it.
Next, practice Amitabha Buddhist concept is common practice and any part of society - from farmers, merchants, intellectuals until - are also possible. This speaks to the nature of contracts and contracts for the wonderful body that we see only the new method have been Buddhist concept. Due to the popularity, as well as contract management and contract its body, Buddhist mindfulness practice is open to all components of enlightenment.

For those who have great wisdom, if diligent effort Buddha, they will have acquired spiritual - for example, achieved concentration or Samadhi Buddhist concept (Samadhi). For those who are busy with work and family tasks livelihood, if diligently Buddha, they will be "reborn industrial zone".

Information Buddha always say honesty is the personality of the Buddha believe in, and believe in the personality of the Buddha, think carefully, as well as by the confidence comes from France, or his teachings. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with people that believe in Ecstasy based on the personality of the Buddha. However, this argument is only suitable for those with a Buddhist religious practice and the concept of Amitabha Buddha. For those who practice other disciplines, and especially for those who are not Buddhists, based on the personality of the Buddha to the world that Ecstasy is very difficult to convince. Therefore, only the teachings and Causality Retribution - ie French news - is solid theoretical basis to help everyone know with the Pure. There are a number of other people have the world believe Bliss through the witness of the phenomenon of the religious auspicious Buddhist mindfulness practice when dying or after death, as the aroma, aura, etc ... This music heaven is the miraculous phenomenon of increasing devotion to the practice of Buddhist mindfulness practice; however, this miraculous phenomenon is just personal experience, so they can not be regarded as a fundamental principle or common experience to help people know the Pure.

The discovery of diamonds on this planet as we think of the Pure land of gold, diamonds and other precious substances. Although the discovery of exoplanets by modern astronomers help us expand the vision of the existence boundless world - which said Shakyamuni Buddha over 2,500 years ago - This can not be considered conclusive evidence to conclude that the Pure.
