About Professional EthicsKarma plays a very important role in the Buddhist teachings. But we should remember that the Buddha notes not career with the aim of encouraging as conditions to enjoy happiness in the realms of bliss, paradise, but to help people escape the karmic constant flow (kammakkhayya ).

In this article we present an overview of karmic justice has been taught in the scriptures, not have high expectations or justify separation sublime philosophy. We specially mention in industrial management with the aim of Buddhism distinguish different perspectives on the business of non-Buddhist thinkers even during the Buddha or ever after. Indeed, it should be noted a great difference between the karma of Buddhism, Hinduism, Brahmin teacher, Zoroastrian and religion Ajivaka .
Many people think now is a philosophy common to most Eastern religions, but actually advocates and their interpretations have some differences, or even completely different as well. Some Western scholars misperception that theory now synonymous with destiny . While some other nuances industrial undertakings sociology and biology. The reason for the misconception that because they only read some books about research career without orthodoxy spread through original texts of Buddhism.
*
First we must define what is now, because it is critical to help us distinguish according to Buddhist and now follow the other teachings. The definition is found in Buddhist literature Money is now used to refer to religious ceremonies, or the duty of each individual in society. We read the following statement in Isa Upanisad: "Kurvanne veha karmani jijivisecchatam Samah" (let the people live a long life aspirations and implement social duty) which showed that the word karma means used with responsibility department or business.

In classical Pali Theravada, word kamma means can also be used with professional or occupational different people. Words anavajjani kammani be used in economic Buddha Mangala Sutta to remind us of the occupation should do with morality, ie the allusion right effort , not right now . Thus in this respect in Buddhist places and now in front Buddhist literature is seen as synonymous.
But now (kamma) have a special expertise that is only mentioned in Buddhist literature only. Buddha said: "Cetanaham bhikkhave kammam vadami" (This bhikshus, Tathagata say private cooperation is now). This definition is very common and anyone studying classical Pali are known. So, now here is used to refer to intentional acts or deliberate actions that terminology Abhidhamma called concomitants investment or investment work (immoral). These actions may be good or evil, when done through body called bodily, through export called industrial exports, through the called attention now .
Each person must take responsibility for the consequences of good or bad actions, whether good or bad results, happy or miserable. This could now appear in this life, lives nearby or any future life depends on their potential. Sometimes karma back serves the disabled, because they are too weak, not qualified, or, to use the technical terminology is not enough charm to make boots.
In fact, if we study more deeply, you will see that investment work (immoral) are only necessary but not sufficient to create the industry unless it was purely professional. Because there are so many now need the support of physical and verbal.
For example, a person can not be grafted murder when he was with that intention. So in Atthasālini (Note the Dhammasangani) very clearly demarcated 5 eligibility for killing sin:
1) The informal nature or organisms (alive).
2) Know that the person or thing that was alive.
3) There is the will to kill.
4) Try to kill.
5) The animals that die or by a malicious act close.
Thus merely a third condition, namely a new intention, not enough to accuse of killing. However, the third condition is the main condition, no it can not be called now.
For example an inadvertent action might cause a crime, it is not guilty of attempted murder, but guilty of manslaughter only. The gate now manifested, too, must demand the same conditions of new achievement. To put it briefly, is now used in Buddhism to indicate deliberate actions of body, speech or mind and the valuation of good and evil, depending on their causal.
Many people when studying Buddhism is often said that doing business origin of Culakammavibhanga. In this sutra Buddha mentioned the reasons to do business growth of every four Buddhist faith, but actually that's not all business the mention of this principle. In the Culakammavibhanga, a young Brahmin visited the Buddha and asked him to explain why the human race has abortive people, who live longer, sick, healthy people, ugly people , beautiful man, poor man, rich man into that exalted man, who left destitute miserable ...; What other reason to have such inequality between people with people in society. That's Buddha replied: "Beings of retributive life leader who has created work now and this is because of karma that inequality among all beings".

Maurice Maeterlinek, one writer said: "Let's go back to the karma theory of rebirth, because there might be something more noble, more fair and more ethical. Nor is there a theory any more credible. itself sufficient to prove all disagreements physical, intellectual and social injustice, bias the disgust of fate ". Professor Allan G.Widgerry Standon, philosophical theology professor at the University of Cambridge and later sugar professor of philosophy at Duke University in the US said: "Certainly, people born in the conditions of each person disagreement in past lives through the law of karma."

*
Many people use these methods as inductive logic, interpretations, analogies, syllogisms, but the argument so important to learn the philosophy of karma, but karma does not matter fully in sectors or philosophical reason pure. Reason can help us get rid of superstition by which we gain access to this doctrine. However, reason can only understand the rationality (logic) of a generalized problem, can not put his stock and real depth of it. Hence Buddha says: "Kammavipako acinteyyo" (industrial and business results of the inconceivable) . Thus, the first step we can use reason to study learning, and thinking, and eventually learn through intuition and experience, the new body enlightened witness this truth deeply and be honest.
Anyway we can also witness the truism that there is a strong bias in particular human society and beings in general. And when Buddhism has proven to be the cause of the disagreement, it also helps us to flatten the disagreement that if people know each other and improve their karma. Indeed, the social injustice may flatten, or minimized. In terms of economics, if skillfully renovated, the social order is stable, people can live longer, healthier, these disparities are minimized material to put towards future society for more equality. On the spiritual level, the disagreement caused by the level of greed, hatred and delusion more or less. So want to flatten disagreements must destroy the spirit of greed, hatred and delusion in the virtues of generosity, compassion and wisdom.
Smooth the causal impact of industrial operation attained ie intelligent II (dutiya vijjā) in Sanming (Tiso vijjā): Additional intelligent networks, intelligent mortal or divine eye make intelligent intelligence and contraband that Buddha stock realization of enlightenment night. Then his mind strictly net, pure, immaculate, escape from the cankers, skilful, adapt, justice and liberation. He focused on the phenomenon of mortal beings and the pure divine eye he saw beings are noble people who are poor, who pretty wicked, miserable people who happy, birth to death, depending on the business of life and death their power.
In the Mahasihanada Buddha said to his realization as an experimental science: "There are five paths called contingent religion is that? Hell, animals, hungry ghosts, people and heaven. Tathagata know clearly hell or what kind of career that lead to this suffering realm after death. Behold Sariputta, the Tathagata knows the mind of every being in it, because the action of these beings how to make the industry's How, then was reborn in hell like body damage after common destiny. Then, with a pure, lucid and super Vietnam, Tathagata see beings fall into hell he suffered. Like there an exhausted, exhausted are crooked toward an inferno fueled fire pit, an Eyewitness others that scene, proclaiming that: 'Surely this man stumbled into the fire pit.' And indeed later it shows the other fell into the fire pit and suffered greatly. Beings born into the animal realm, hungry ghosts are also many similar misfortune. But being born into the human realm relatively happier life, and beings born in heaven enjoy more peace. "

In the Mahakammavibhanga , Buddha said that, there are a few sadhu due diligence, mindfulness is attained samadhi. With supernatural vision, he wisely saw a body, after evil corrupt public network still is reborn in the world more peaceful. Magi thinks: "There is no unwholesome result of bad karma, everyone whether they act or not as evil general network communication has been reborn in sight". Buddha did not agree with that view. Despite the fact that there may be beings despite the evil deed, after the body has been damaged public network born in the realm of peace. But it is because of the ancient life they have created more karma. Additionally in the dying hours he kept true mind.
The failure of this hermit is because they only see a few lives of a being somehow not be comprehensive smoothly complex phenomenon of karmic cause and effect stream. Furthermore, the operation of the line is just a karmic special case of the principle of causality in the law which includes the fields of physiological, physical, psychological and career management.
Karmic law known as the law of causality of moral or immoral act. In Buddhism, karma is not fate , so the law of karma is not fixed and is often viewed as tendencies. By doing Culakammavibhanga usually a good karma tends to bring good karma, an unwholesome karma tends to lead to an evil karma.

If a more detailed analysis we see now are classified in four ways:

1. In terms of WORK c ó four types of transactions:

a) Students now (Janaka-kamma):

Is now the dominant force regeneration. Regeneration formula ( patisandhi viňňāna ) driven by this industry, and aggregates ( nāma khandha ), aggregates of matter ( rupa khandha ) depending on the student's first this industry. Born now also stretches life of a being from birth to death. For example by which a being born now reborn in a human life, the gods or beasts.

b) Industrial Maintenance (upatthambhaka-kamma):

Is karma maintain survival or life span of a living being from birth until death. For example, now makes a good maintenance man to be happy and lead evil lives now make him suffer in their lifetimes. Without a living maintenance can now die immediately from birth.

c) Chướng Industry (upapilaka-kamma):

Unlike industrial maintenance, career obstacles impede students are now making normal life suddenly in trouble. For example, a healthy person suddenly crashed become disabled, or one who is wise so that after an illness suddenly became muzzy foolish.

d) The Industry (upaghataka-kamma):

This industry is capable of severing born workers. For example, a president who is living very peacefully happy suddenly was assassinated a guard. People often call it sudden death.
Sudden death is not due to fate or destiny, nor unjust but because of a paragraph is too strong now makes life interrupted halfway.

2. ABOUT THE CAPACITY OF THE RESULTS REPORT has four types of transactions:

a) Critically important equipment (garuka-kamma):

Karma is very strong, if powerful evil karma as patricide, matricide, killing Arahan, divisive Increase or injury to the Buddha would fallen into hell no cockroaches so called industrial wealth portfolio . If it is good karma as obtained powerful meditation masters were born on the property heavens or formless identity.

b) Close-electronic equipment (asannaka-kamma) :

Is now creating deathbed. This is now possible actions, words, thoughts or reactions of mind when recalling the time being now made money in the dying moments. There are three phenomena appear in deathbed were:

- Industrial (Kamma) : the dying may find a career that has made ​​money during birth, as people can see the wicked murder of his actions, honest people can see the act of giving ...

- Industry Minister (kammanimitta) : time of death one can see a few more prominent in the industry that has done, as people often find weapons killing or blood, whose faith often find shrines or depression incense ...

- Animal Minister (gatinimitta) : the dying realm foreseeable that he would be reborn in. As people often do good deeds will see the realm of gods, whereas people often do evil will see hell. Font interesting (gati) here means the regeneration direction. Good fun (sugati) is user-friendly as heavenly realms, people. A wickedly fun (duggati) is the direction of evil realms as realms peta, animals.
Now access critical element in the regeneration, a person may do good deeds but even die remembering a certain evil and born into misery. Contrary to a lot of evil deeds but deathbed keep fresh in mind, the scene has been born into idle. But good or evil actions there still must pay off later or stored until enough grace to bear fruit any time.

c) Industry Practices (acinna-kamma):

Is now often artifacts in everyday life we ​​and it became a habit. This can now wholesome or unwholesome. Immoral as the butcher in the habit of killing, people have a habit harsh cussing. Compassion as people habitually practice Buddha, the charitable giving habits have. Therefore, if the practice immoral slight though also very dangerous to evolution. Conversely, if the good practices, even small results also bring many benefits.

d) Cumulative Industry (katatta-kamma):

As the karma still unconsciously storing (continuum) not time bear fruit because not meet fate or condition convenient. Because of these outstanding business results that many people think that those who do evil without retribution. Saying: "Good is rewarded with good and evil with evil, complete any reported shortcomings, the god you originality" (good and evil are the retributive, if not retributive just because time has not come) can explain things this.

3. TIMING REPORT ON THE APPLICATION METHODS are divided into four business categories:

a) Show Newspaper Industry (ditthadhammavedaniya-kamma):

Are the consequences right now in this present life. As a sea of ​​demons fraud foreclosed assets, or a murderer was shot dead at the scene. But also hard to say exactly what has now present results because sometimes it is the result of past industrial conditioned similarities that bear fruit rather than the result of the current industry. This should thoroughly contemplate intuitively to feel rather than by reasoned judgment.

b) Birth Newspaper Industry (upapajjavedaniya-kamma):

As of right now bring consequences in the afterlife. As an ordinary person in this life to donations afterlife was born wealthy honor, whereas a cunning theft afterlife poor afflicted. Meters have a maid old recently offered the Buddha a flower melon very happy with the center on the way to being dead ox gored, as soon as it was born as a fairy in heaven with beautiful color tasteless solution any match fairies. It is now being reported.

c) Impact Newspaper Industry (Aparapariya vedaniya-kamma):

If unpaid fruit industry in this life or in the lives nearby, it will result in any life about after qualifying. Sometimes one has to be paid now results in current or future lives but its echo still consequences in many lives then and now called post-press. In the case of an honest man but as an obstacle death began immoral near death by now it must be reborn in a realm of suffering in the afterlife, so the healing of this man now become the post press industry. Contrary to a commonly deeds but when death thanks to a fortunate kicked healthy heart can be reborn in a leisurely scenes of his misdeeds will bear fruit in the lives uncertain future.
That is why some ascetics seeing a being as evil general network damage after the body has been born into the leisurely scene and concluded that no result of good and bad deeds. In fact, because they could see only a few lives but not comprehensive witnessed karmic cause and effect phenomenon.

e) Disable Industry (ahosikamma):

Are now supposed to have results in this life or the afterlife, but not eligible to bear fruit should become disabled. For example a saint A-na-jaw after birth to heaven passed gender identity and thereby attained Arhat, and shall pass away at that and not come back to the human realm, so of course are now unable to repay the results become invalid. Buddha most cases and you Arahan, the weak karma remainder of his is not dominant.

4. In terms of the realm is also now divided into 4 categories:

a) Education World unwholesome (akusala-kamma kamavacara):

Are the artifacts now with immoral activities should pay in realms in four woeful results: hell, hungry ghosts, animals, a-tu-la or do people in unfortunate condition. Those are now: killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, divisive talk, speak evil, speak in vain, greed, anger and wrong views.

b) Gender Education karma (kusala-kamma kamavacara-):

Are the artifacts now with charity in mind realms should pay off in six heavenly sex education, in which peace enjoying life in the form of gods, or pay off as people were happy. These are now liberating life, generosity, continence, honesty, harmony speak, speak kindly, say useful, not greed, not of right field.

c) Lust karma (kusala-kamma rupavacara-):

Is karma levels of organic color meditation , like those obtained from organic jhana meditation to excellence, after relatives septic joint network will be awarded in sixteen realms celestial world. There, they live very calm violations, temporary no personal greed, hatred and ignorance dominates.

d) Immaterial karma (kusala-kamma arupavacara-):

Is karma of all Career formless meditations , as the prime meditation not boundless, boundless knowledge, no land ownership, land of great non-non-thought, after being born in the realms of education leaves four formless realms natural world, in which life is very subtle, pure and carefree, the devas there very long life but until retribution are no longer effective, they must return to the sensuous subject to the suffering they have happy results created before.
*
So now is a causal laws of justice, in which freedom and responsibility, unlike fatalism that people doomed that the Creator had intended, they do not have the freedom to decide their own destiny. And of course such person should not be held responsible for any personal actions, responsibility for which has heaven and earth to shoulder.
To say that Buddhism does not uphold human person indeed so wrong because human justice is now completely free to act and take responsibility for their freedom. In contrast, the new mandate of heaven theory disregard the human person, for which he must always obey God 'or they will be punished, but no discretion. If the decision must also conform to the human heaven's never been equality with heaven and earth. Buddhism does not respect the human person, but also trying to raise that person up Buddha're completely equal.
We have definitions, classification of the different aspects of the industry, a fact that is always present in the life that every person would be able to observe, contemplate, discern daily. Now to distinguish the casual contracts point, let's compare now the word is used in Buddhism and the other religions.
First, let's compare with the policy of the Jain religion, whereby man can not develop virtues and intellectual training and education if not paid off all evil consequences of karma. So this religion teaches believers to practice asceticism to soon get rid of the influence of sin that they have done in past lives. On the other hand, advocates Jain differs from Buddhism that value ethical action depending on the body rather than the mind.
In the Digha Nikaya (cases of) c ó recorded case of a sadhu, of Jainism at that time called Nigantha, visited the Buddha. The following is a sample dialogue in Digha Business:
"When the hermit Digha greeted and seated Buddha, Buddha asked Magi:
- Behold hermit, in Nigantha religion, cult leaders Nataputta how many types of career training?
- Bach Lord Gotama, in our religion, cult leaders Nataputta never comes to teaching about the industry but only offenses only.
- So how many sins?
- Bach him, there are three types of crime: the crime by itself, because export and due attention.
- In three such crimes more serious crime of all?
- Bach Him, the more serious offense of the body.
After confirming three times like that, hermit Digha asked the Buddha:
- Bach Lord Gotama, also follow his teachings have little sin?
- Behold hermit, in the teachings of the Tathagata does not speak to the crime, but only just about now.
- Bach Him, so how many things now?
- Industry has three categories: professional bodies, business and industrial gate reviews.
- Bai He, in three categories that now, the most important kind?
- Behold Magi, the industry standard is most important. "
Through the above passage, we see the industrial undertakings between Buddhism and Jainism are not completely identical. Buddhists see action intentionally created now, on the one hand that accidentally or intentionally though still worth good and evil alike. Two such views can not be assimilated.
One other policy of austerity cult Ajivika that all these actions as well as the existing experience totally dominated by the money now. While Buddhism does not accept predestination and see past now only one of the factors that govern the life or fun experience human suffering alone. According to Buddhism, people not living depends entirely on the past but now are influenced by many different factors:

- Factors external world: as weather conditions, the effect of location, direction, as well as the social status ...

- Physical factors : the physical conditions, the effects of physical phenomena.

- Physiological factors: structural conditions, transport and evolution of the body, including hereditary law.

- Psychological factors: that is, rules and operational structure of the mind naturally as seeing, hearing ..., know, emotional, rational, etc.

- Element Management Industry : ie the principle of causality of intentional action as we have defined and categorized above.
Thus human life by many factors coordinate and influenced by multiple environment and not entirely due to his past career ( Sayam katam ), not by the arbitrary decisions of a foreign natural person who ( param katam ), nor coincidence ( adhicca samupanna ). As well as human beings are shaped by many predestined ( Paticca samuppanna ). If we understand all these conditions, they may live in harmony with nature, employed themselves in order to reach the place very afraid.
Buddhism aims to sever all ties human condition to bring about unconditional (unconditioned) ie Nirvana, is freed.
*
Finally we compare with determinism (fatalism ) and genetic theory (Heredity) .
As we have mentioned before, causal involvement of different karma with fatalism, because now is not the only factor, domineering dominate human life and we can destroy or industrial metabolism along with other conditions to thrive.
According classic Brahmin, all human actions are governed by nature ( prakiti ) and nature was the one who arranged Brahma decided. So people had to give up before the fate that the Creator had intended, or to sacrifice to beg be blessed, blessed.
Surely people can not stand too dark fate that her wonder if the Creator who has given thing arbitrary power, unjustly so. Why create the fate of each person is different. If the Almighty Creator is not perfect, because He can make all things equal but should not have to have a big gap between rich and poor, on man, just suffering ...
Of course, people may make rational problems. Since there is no point, in a time when people were aware replication sovereignty and subjected to forced servitude before a despotic Creator absolutely not authorized by them.
According to Buddhism, man is his own god and no one else (Attahi attano nātho does, ko hi nātho does parosiya) . Since all conditions, including myself can now modify it. Thus, happiness and suffering are created by each individual grab yourself. Be free or slave, depending on site-employed person or the conditions employed.
Regarding genetic law , although Buddhism recognizes that genetic laws that affect people's lives, but genetics is not the only deciding factor as some scientists thought or policy. Genetics and is now different factors in terms of human life form: Genetics under physiological conditions (bija Niyama) while now based on the will (immoral). A person may have a certain physical characteristics from the genetic parents again but his karma by creating affinity for such properties, the corresponding relative called boot predestined.
In cases where the character seems origin is not genetic but karma or social conditions. Two twin children rarely have the same personality and if they are placed in different social conditions, the change is even temperament. See this, genetic factors are not decisive factors.
When analyzing the work of Mc. Taggart, professor of philosophy, University of Cambridge, who had warmly defended the theory of karma in the few religious dogma (Some Dogmas of Religion), and on the Essence of existence, Professor CD Broad wrote: " Mc Taggart showed us that assumptions about future recruitment affinity between this kind of soul and body, the other can explain the similarity of mental characteristics, between parents and children that people often to be directly influenced by heredity. Since the genetic make up offspring resemble their parents more than others. In addition, the same body and therefore the zygote to develop into a similar body tend to appeal to sentiment similar to the fetus. I think, has to recognize that this theory very adequate and delicate "
*
In short, karma plays a very important role in the Buddhist teachings. But we should remember that the Buddha notes not career with the aim of encouraging as conditions to enjoy happiness in the realms of bliss, paradise, but to help people escape the karmic constant flow ( kammakkhayya ). Therefore, right from the first condition to achieve results first in every saint is to:

- Killing yourself is (Sakkaya ditthi), ie no longer accept these aggregates as ego.

- Cessation of skepticism (vicikicha), ie, see the truth, do not believe in fate frivolous.

- Anti precepts player (silabbataparamasa), which is no longer accepted in customary ceremonies or to practice more. Acceptance forms without understanding the content or the meaning of the rule is a precept is also obvious.
Such a person will not degenerate (avinipata) and will definitely achieve ultimate enlightenment (niyatosambodhiparayano). That is the path to the cessation effects of karma, selfless spiritual development, compassion and wisdom.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGTHMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGTHFOLD PATH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.5/6/2015.
