"Drums beat illustrious wine, light tones banks

Celebrating Buddha descended past " <! - [if! supportFootnotes] -> [1] <! - [endif] -> .

Each year, every full moon of the lunar calendar in April, then everywhere, the Buddhists and joyful, solemn festival celebrating the birth anniversary virtue Starting with Original teacher Shakyamuni. On which more than 2500 years ago, "a unique being, an extraordinary man, appeared in this world, for the benefit of the many, for the happiness of many, out of compassion, for the good beautiful, for the benefit and happiness of gods and men. "(doing A Ham).

Today, despite more than 25 centuries have passed with many ups and downs of the variable   life, though all mankind is enjoying the material civilization of science and technology progress, though the world may know Him is the historical Buddha, a real character; but the image of a superhuman level nature where his legend still bold in the hearts of the Buddha. So, to not touch on superstition, worship Buddha as God, a divine blessing; as well as to define religious belief, a true belief, we try to find out penetrate the iconic Buddha's birth.

 

According to Business General Ban <! - [if! supportFootnotes] -> [1] <! - [endif] -> and Bodhisattvas in 10 months pregnant birth mother. Mother standing Bodhisattva is born. When born, the gods help him before, then new to the human race. Bodhisattva body does not touch the ground, there are four natural elements grabbed him, put him before her mother said, "let's rejoice queen, the queen gave birth to a great man." He was born pure, not polluted by water or blood viscosity does. There are two water lines from out of nowhere, a hot a cold wash and clean the Bodhisattva mothers. His stand on two legs, facing north, a white parasol covered over. He looked across all the big words and uttered the Ox King: "I am the highest rank in the world! My religion is the one night in the life. I am the highest rank in the world. This is the last life, no longer half life reborn ".

Traditional North visceral experience that Prince was born from the side of the Empress property <! - [if! supportFootnotes] -> [1] <! - [endif] -> . And he also walked seven steps, pointing to heaven, earth pointing, saying "heaven and earth is more than just me." Then, a magical aura ... slide over ten thousand world, the world sexes shock, vibration.

Generally, the legendary elements of it can be found in the Doing Business The French Tang Huu Trung A Ham and Business University deity of the Digha Nikaya, Sutta Hy Huu Huu Tang The Central Business French.

And with a Buddha image shimmering legendary texts that describe more or less to the Buddhists inside a deep faith. This is not difficult to understand. Because what any religion, religious leaders are also "blessed", is worshiped as a god blessed Christmas blessings to earth, to pray. Buddha is not outside of us that practice.

However, factors legendary Buddha's birth has come from the realization that his life is a testimony. From being born, grew up, left home, and practice until enlightenment Nirvana, every step of the balls out of the birth chapel, bringing love, peace, joy,  happiness to all beings.

A modern philosopher has said: "Whatever God has created man reasonable half the existence of God must manifest through human existence."

As Buddhists, we must understand exactly what his life is not guilty for canceling butt. As in a prayer Buddha said that those who believe without understanding Him by Him that is canceled.

 

Indeed, the Buddha said, if we only rely on the historical perspective or empty according to legend believes not enough. We have combined the historical Buddha and the Buddha legend to be able to portray a portrait flawlessly Vietnam's super human.

History has recorded the presence of the Buddha in this world more than 25 centuries ago: It was a real character in the history of mankind.

1986 Cuningham British archaeologists have unearthed a fourth pillar of Ashoka pillar due to record burial place has to closely historical Buddha, often called The Heart Quartet. Engraved on a stone pillar in the words:

- In Compassion Compassion Compassion Knowledge Ashoka 25th person to see this cult.

-   Buddha Da, Sakyan go-home, the birth place here.

- King of identity cylindrical building to commemorate where he was born.

- Lin-Pi-ni Village, where Buddha was born is mie? Tax n.

-   It is the grace of Buddha where he was born.

Health on the excavated pillar, removing Western notion that Buddha is a mythological character and accept as a historical figure, because according to the West, which is the pillar of the Buddha's birth .

As for the public, folk beliefs, one must understand about a legendary Buddha how to be acceptable in the modern age? Here, the picture is Dan being the most widely spoken of.

What is birth?

Often the term in Buddhism, when it comes to the presence of Shakyamuni Buddha in this world people often use the word Dan birth (ie, born a happy, joyful work, life brighter for the world) ; or existing market (ie appeared in the flesh to the naked eye they 're visible); or Christmas (ie from a higher place to a lower place). All three of these are only the birth of the Buddha. (It is different from the birth of a human being is called "reincarnation").

Buddha was born has brought to the human world's leading source of happiness and compassion for all beings directions away from the shore to the dock mesmerizing sight. Results as the sage Asita predicted after the King was invited to the royal palace for Prince physiognomy (when newly born). He said: If the crown prince of the emperor system would be a galaxy photography, ï bring peace to hundreds of them. As if ordained, the Prince will rank supreme enlightenment, great wisdom, look super cool, spoke at the universe's birth a plausible way. Since it is a hermit who instructed the path toward building yourself, your family and society happy pretty fresh, higher than enlightenment. Enlightened truth of all things, freed affliction of ignorance, craving, attachment, samsara.

Affordable authentic prophecies that have been emitted by the rare expression of the Buddha's birth?

We also know, in the Eastern countries, the birth of the saint who is always deification of myths.

... As   she Gaming Market   (Confucius mother), Ni coating after the mountain itself on the bridge that night dreamed Hac sure that she will be born in Saint-mail and have not increased to the birth cave. When I woke up, she knew she was pregnant.

Another time, when she is drowsy as the dream, I suddenly saw an old man standing in the front yard, claiming to be the Five Essential, 1 tow beast like a buffalo but with the 1 horn, his mottled. The beast immediately saw her lying down and dropped out for a pearl chain 1. The next day the husband asked they said it was the Unicorn. Unicorns appear, according to the belief of ancient China have foreshadowed saint's birth.

When Confucius was born, two green dragons flying down from the sky, lying on either side of the ridge for 2 Gods and Female bring water to the village road for her shampoo Gaming Market. Shampoo is complete, go away. When she forestry, see Fellowships in 1 crib with hot springs flowing out to her bathroom, the shower, the shallow creek immediately.

In Vietnam SouthNgo Thi Ngoc there while pregnant Knives King Le Thanh Tong had first dreamed at Christmas tran..vv heaven sent

Thus, the introduction of such a sublime Buddha deification although there is also, of course, and easy to understand.

Legend has it that Queen Maya dreamed white elephant tusks from six down and hide in the air on the right side; then she became pregnant.   6 ivory white elephant is a symbol of the bodhisattva vows to save his life. Elephants symbolize strength, a brave hero always forward. Six ivory express image of Bodhisattva achievements Luc paramitas (generosity, morality, dental Buffet humiliation, effort, meditation, wisdom).

And Prince was born from the right side. This is not difficult to understand for the   Indian capital is considered the sacred mysteries. The evidence is that they always venerated image of the right side. Thus, the right symbol for the positive good; ie positively and negatively Nirvana mortal. Prince (the embodiment of the Bodhisattva) is a sublime being, body and mind pure, clean, "non-infected residents ceiling ceiling", do not be attracted by the vortex of samsara. On the contrary, he overcomes all suffering from sexual binding ceiling and bring the truth of human enlightenment and escape. Prince  was born from the hip organic also means that Crown Prince stepped out of the dualistic treatment categories "right - left, good - bad, injured - hate ..." that beings from beginningless lifetimes were clinging.

And the birth of the Prince Street side, there are also deduced thus:   May be the queen access to delivery that goes back more (price far from the royal palace to Lumbini by ox cart or horse pile parameters within swaying in the hot dirt roads) affect the fetus (?) Then when she reached high (the Wuxi Pros picking flowers) as the fetus (?) And also because of the new Empress older pregnant (age 40 became pregnant) should procreate difficult, due to the challenge? tumors art (?) <! - [if! supportFootnotes] -> [1] <! - [endif] - >

Prince has produced seven consecutive walk seven steps on the lotus "seven golden lotus pearl heel lift" without raising the driving. Why only seven steps that are not, any more than such number of steps, six or eight steps such steps? About this, it also has a lot of texts, but with slightly different but the number 7 is the general theory. There are many different interpretations, but the same meaning: The number 7 is a good number of Chinese like to see the number 9 is so auspicious numbers.

Number 7 is "Eastern mystical numbers" that the Indians very seriously. Someone explain away the seven steps is Prince because he is a Buddha Saturday, followed six ahead of Buddha Buddha Pipa Execution, Execution Gas Buddha, Buddhist monk Phu Xa, Verse Save Buddhism Religion, Buddhist verse Mau Na Ham Ni, and Kashyapa Buddha to Buddha Shakyamuni he is

Or as Huayan thought, the whole universe is not outside the No. 7: On, under, inside, outside, left, right and center. Mote from small animals to large animals such as Mount Meru, all without external figure 7.

Or seven steps symbolize the three factors (past - present and future at-) and four-dimensional (hands-South-East-North).

Or just seven steps:

-That Great: great location (land), water resources agency (water), great style (wind), great fire (fire), nothing great, great reviews and great food.

The Bodhi -That (Tse-law, diligence, joy, equanimity, mindfulness, concentration, discharge).

Lotus seven fantasy under his heel, then some say symbolizes the Buddha's seven disciples of the Buddha were: bhikkhus, nuns, novice, novice nun, Soul Massage manna, she Pros Switches and Upasika.

All Buddha images, Bodhisattva standing on lotus lotus as special characteristics that no other flowers: Grows in the Mud mud without infection, the fruit in a row, not to attract bees butterflies honey, do not get girls hairpin, flowers bloom before dawn.

Not only is the lotus flower of pure (near the mud that does not stink of mud), but also has some qualities like flavor (pineapple), fine (clean), the need mollusks (soft) and lovely. That's one beautiful image of the Buddha, was born in life, growing up in life without odor of life, living in the ceiling without prior infection. A symbol for the incarnation of the spirit of Buddhism that is often used dialect as "Dharma sensory world cup", "residential real ceiling ceiling infection"  as the lotus grows in the mud but still fragrant blooms.

Prince standing on the lotus flower, a sun gesturing with one hand only land, saying: "In the sky, under the heavens just as I respect you."

"Divine galaxy

Unique solipsistic

Countless birth and death

U take joy needles. "

This question has many different theories but scored again similar meaning. The main sentence is still "in the sky, under the heavens there is only me that honor." Question remaining, each of each other. Or that I was born to make peace beings in the three realms of suffering, or the death of all sentient beings, aging, sickness, or say this is my ultimate body ...   Of course the "heavenly galaxy solipsistic unique "Consistency in the business is."

Moment we heard the Buddha's easy for egotistical! Because we believe that this is what the Ta Ta's Crown Prince All-Dat-Da, an "I-Self" as hundreds of thousands of the birth and death of other beings ... I understood If so, explain how this to humble the immortal words of the Buddha: "For 45 years (or 49 years) sermon did not say a word"?

Or if what I say is what I of the five aggregates "born grace fake united", is what I am good, and 80 of the 32 generals beauty is contrary to the law of impermanence and   non-self teachings of Buddhism, "Every facility Minister promised during market falsehoods ". (Diamond Sutra). The truth is life everyone tangible property damage, not a living being escape the suffering of elderly patients being dead. So, what I'm here to make sure I was not the birth and death of that is the "true me". It is the ego Chon, Chon mind, the Buddha nature, the pure heart, the mind senses Members, is Buddhist knowledge, is far l? All a thing as a treat. The nature of it that I can not name it has many names. It has no form should not be destroyed. It covered all over space and time.

In the Mahaparinirvana, the nature Tathagata Buddha says: "Falling ie Vairocana means. All beings have Buddha nature that is the meaning of self. Sense of self so far from public life often concealed innumerable afflictions, so beings perceive. " This ego are all human beings, no one less than none. But because we have forgotten, not realizing it should be kept forever propelled into rebirth. <! - [if! supportFootnotes] -> [1] <! - [endif] -> For as Asian guy in the seed particles cross dress without knowing so keep on wandering poor.

And Buddha has shown us recognize the "I" that noble process itself through practice, practice, realization and supreme intellectual achievement, freed his Nirvana. Along with the statement   "I am a Buddha, the Buddha beings will succeed" because "all beings have Buddha nature", unique in human history.

Thus, the "Divine galaxy, solipsistic unique" not only for personal Buddha, not only for the birth and death that Self is the Self, never born, never killed anyone, but one .  thing that's true Self is the "I respect you".

 

In summary, for the birth of a great man is always legendary elements which more or less means that people build to make a difference to ordinary people, as well as to accommodate the Passages from the East.

So, besides the historical Buddha, we also have a legendary Buddha, a Buddha legend. Thanks to the Buddha image this myth that deep faith in the hearts of folk. (News and embraced rather than superstition). This was confirmed by the teachings of the Buddha that were true Buddhist religious obedience.

However, understanding the deeper meaning through the legendary life of Buddha are essential to those who "initially studied Buddhism". As well as, to establish communication with the Buddha, to deserve the death Like the Tathagata, we have applied the teachings of the Buddha into their daily lives. Because Buddhism is a religion that experience. No practice we would not have the happiness. So, in addition to study Buddhism we must endeavor to practice conscious, mindful awareness, so that in every moment of life, we always have a Buddha was born.

(Determining the chronology

On the date of the Buddha's birth, there are many different theories. The reason is skewed by the following three points:

- Because of the complexity of the Indian calendar date.

- Because of the influence of ethnic Han attachments.

- Because of the status of the service is doing.

Thus it can be concluded as follows:

- The Western Lands (Mahayana) said: Vesak Day 15 lunar. What theory says that descent rate of 15 (full moon).

- Journal of the Society for Buddhist Studies of Modern Chinese Buddhism states: April 8th affected by ethnic Han thought.

- The title of Buddhism Buddhist USSR (Tantric) states: Buddha Pu-ni-ma-trailers full moon day of the month is Vaisakha.

- Theravada just say one thing: On the full moon.

That is, all of the 8th lunar month never had a full moon day.

About the birth of the Buddha are also many theories. The reason is that the concept, by inference, based on the evidence so different ... but perhaps fundamental characteristics influenced the thinking of the Indian people. The ancient India, not emphasize time. Therefore, the history of ancient India usually does not focus on the exact recording date. "... the Indians pay attention to the teachings, rituals rather than historical accuracy. "   (Nguyen Tan Dac - Indian Culture).

However, there are three theories about the same:

- According to "We the holy   classic sign "Buddha was born in 565 BC and 483 BC Nirvana calendar year.

- The Western archaeologists, Buddha was born in 563 BC and 483 BC Nirvana calendar year.

- According to the World Buddhism, Buddha was born in 624 BC and 544 BC Nirvana.
