Buddhist Ethics.

    

 

1. OVERVIEW OF NET BASIS BUDDHIST ETHICS

1) Buddhism focuses on people:

On the path of liberation of suffering, Buddhism teaches people to return to their refuge now and here. Buddha says:

"Please return my refuge and legal refuge"

"Be refuge for himself, not looking for a refuge else".

"You are the island's main refuge thee".

Causation doctrine of karma defined as the owner of the business people and the heirs of workers. Thus, the main geographical areas to eliminate suffering that each of the current key and here. If suffering arises from that, it also arises from the extinction of suffering, or arising out of happiness.

2) consider the relevance of the present communication segments suffering birth:

Buddha has repeatedly identified him only for the sake of life, peace for humankind gods and great compassion just because their lives. Fundamental tenets of Buddhism is the word for suffering given problem and a way to solve the suffering. The story holds Simsapa leaf and poison arrows story is the photo example emphasizes spiritual and practical reality urgently removed from the human suffering and lives.

3) Spirit Ball, knowledgeable, courageous:

On the way eliminate suffering, right understanding (or intelligence, including the right thought) always led the practice. Foremost practitioner must recognize the reality of suffering and the causes of suffering in order to get rid of them the way. Lack of it, then he will go astray liberation.

After obtaining the right understanding, wisdom, he should continue to apply Effort, or from primary needs, to implement the road. Along the way the practitioner regularly arise to quell compassion and desire to save sentient beings.

This is the third determinant behavior towards happiness and liberation of Buddhism.

4) The objective is happy, freed at this life:

Buddha teaches the path of suffering and annihilation of suffering mean just saying happy and live life happy mind right now, here, in this world.

Every step of generosity, morality, meditation and wisdom is every step out causing agents psychological disorders, and into peace and happiness of the mind liberated and liberating insight.

The first step is to go into meditation comes in contact with initially happy with the higher vibrational frequency vibrational frequency from the material. The increasingly deep, the more feel happy more beautiful, more subtle and harder. Until arising wisdom can burn all the greed, hatred and delusion, the root of all suffering, the practitioner face genuine happiness of nirvana - liberation itself (Vikmukti-kaya) - At here no mention of the legal body Career Nirvana Enlightenment.

If ethical pharmaceutical understand happiness is synonymous with the entire Buddhist doctrine is a doctrine of moral background, introducing the way of life even in the present suit all abilities, all space, time, and culture, go to happy at the earth between ephemeral rivers. This ethic has full cloning nature, science, practical and very real.

5) Get a basic understanding of Buddhist ethics:

Education is causal and identify human Khandhas is a collection of five elements: the aggregate of (physical), sensation, perception, and consciousness (psychology). No one can fall as self, soul or any sub down there. Sac aggregates shall include physical self, others and the world body physics; aggregate shall include meditation sensations and feelings from the base comes in contact with the ceiling. Feeling, perception and volitional consciousness coexistence impossible aggregates glass with the other two. Thus, humanity is tied to the other and the world. People just stable when shown the harmony of the five aggregates in and express harmony with the family, society and nature outside.

Origination doctrine also identifies human correlation with the world, has identified the presence of suffering love, defense, ignorance is present. Suffering was located in the five aggregates should also conditioned by cutting off from the five aggregates. This means that when love killing, the killing, killing, suffering will destroy ignorance. Cessation of Suffering is true happiness, peacefulness foot, freeing appear. Humans may itself gradually or immediately extinguish love, the right to feel happy in the present.

This is the basis of perception opens up the path of Buddhist ethics.

Four imperial doctrine platform introduced with such awareness and to introduce route-specific liberation, or the route of the moral life.

Causation doctrine of karma markedly present actions were psychologically mobilized by greed, hatred and delusion are the actions that lead to suffering, so we are immoral; actions were mobilized by alobha, adosa, si is the act which led to the peaceful outcome, happy, so we are improving. Compassion is ethical and unethical evil of Buddhism. Just as Banzeladze stated: "Where there are no conditions for happiness, then that place no conditions for virtue". (Ethics, Banzeladze, Publisher. Hanoi. 1985, p, 260).

6) Buddhist and the root problem of moral and ethical norms:

Regarding the origin of ethics and moral standards, the level of ideological termites have a different conception. Because human vision of the world, values ​​and different happy that there are differences of moral roots and ethical norms.

There is the notion that intellectual development in the labor process, and the development of wisdom, thinking, language, affect human relation, so that affects the conception of morality the people. Morality here is a product of society, when society changes, the varying moral. For as society changed from feudal institutions, the concept of democracy through moral change as well.

There are moral concepts based on a creator, eternal creation, should ethics and the ethical norms almost trying ⠨ superiority, as a consequence of the judgment of the biblical pages.

Obviously there are many different moral concepts again depending on the goal of life stopped at different places. Buddhist way of life, the building except ethics empirical wisdom of the Buddha omniscient should look stable value.

Buddhism does not raise the issue of the source of all existence, including the source of morality, because all existence are interdependent, self-wealth. But in relative terms, Buddhism noted suffering caused by craving, the ignorance caused. Practical problem here is extinguished any cause in an individual suffering. Thus, the ethical standards can only be due to the experimental fishing and set out, based on the effective cessation of greed, hatred and delusion. Unable to establish ethical standards, based on the external appearance of the Minister of action, by the same action may be due to multiple motors, negative differential effects should have different moral values.

Buddhist moral path is the path so voluntarily, self-certification and voluntary. However, before the Venetian rule distinctly causal, people still have to strictly guide our inner life.

Because of human happiness is the goal of life of human happiness is the standard value. The other values ​​are secondary to line revolves around the axis of the moral values.

7) Experience happiness - Experience ethics:

On how new points are happy, truly happy, and how happy they even have different conceptions completely.

Some say happiness comes from material, someone to come from emotional, intellectual. There are people happiness comes from a combination of physical and mental etc .. So that mankind has erected many lifestyle, mindset, different ethics.

Banseladze then said: "Happiness is a phenomenon both physical medium of the spirit". (Ibid, p. 246).

- "In the realm of physical pleasure, orgasms stronger the more short-lived. The intensity of pleasure is inversely proportional to its duration." (Ibid, p. 268).

- "In the realm of the spiritual pleasure, the time factor has a completely different role: time beneficial effects for humans. There is no law of inverse proportion, contrast, intensity of pleasure The higher sense in this area, the more it lasts ". (Ibid, p. 269).

Even philosophers, ethicists have different experiences of happiness and about how to duoqc happy, then all differences which still have one thing in common and that happiness is a feeling there conditions. Already a sensation possible, under Buddhist perspective it is impermanent. And due to present before the impermanence greed bring suffering.

The happy feeling stronger the faster the time felt then was a huge psychological gap, or be faced with the next one might be feeling pain - (feeling inferior is suffering).

Even when people are in happy, then very common fear was enough to cause pain to the human mind.

So the man almost always faced with suffering. Buddhism evident that the root of all suffering is desire, craving, or ego, but not very often and falling. So that the path of life is the desire to tame the road to happiness, happiness comes in contact with. Here happiness does not mean the satisfaction of desires that are known to live conquer lust, and lust excluded. Buddhism has introduced a path to happiness for many radical extension, many different levels of consciousness. We'll find out in the next presentation.

Moral life is expressed most favorable is the holy life of the monastic family renunciation.

A Buddhist monk is one who has decided to go straight to the goals of dignity, or call reflected in this life, in itself the true happiness, and help others at present.

A Buddhist monk has two main duties:

- Learning the teachings and practice of meditation.
- Lecture for life on the road out of suffering.

a) About itself: the practice of discipline, concentration and wisdom.

Gender : Three upholding international obligations to photography Pratimoksha la translational 6 units (or three now), so that consumption goes up many psychological disorders. Each concept, each nniem net dampening born. Concept concept was pure bliss and happiness. Gender also work holder for your peace of dignity and injury to keep happy, happiness of the beings around him.

Go to : practice of mindfulness (or 37 direct aids)

Elaborately meditation is elaborately go straight to the source of peace and happiness right now and here, living happily with each breath. From ؠ access to, one has to feel at peace. From meditation to charities, or to infinity land ownership, one will have many occasions, many times access to unlimited happiness, with drop خي Minister, with the mind liberated and liberating insight.

But true liberation goals do not stop here. Perform meditation practitioner to be entered as real lcu position, achievements freed final purpose: liberating insight all human suffering (eliminate all cankers).

On Property: Secretarial recognition of ordinary knowledge, knowledge of organic primary school and uneducated.

Get right understanding and right thought that the author was removed from the mental afflictions countless achievements though not the monastic rule and no sophisticated meditation; has avoided many damaging behaviors in themselves and collectively.
