True Buddhist
 

 When we called themselves Buddhists, meaning that we are the followers of Buddha. The most important aspect of being a Buddhist is that we take the path of Buddha and always thinking like a Buddha figure. Buddha [Buddha] is a word in Sanskrit. This term refers to people who wake escape deluded mind, who have achieved the understanding and wisdom. The word in Tibetan called 'Sangye'.
All Buddhists aim is to achieve a state of enlightenment of Buddha. Buddhahood is the development and achievements of each person the ability to liberate all sentient beings from suffering.
Those who do not attain Buddhahood have many conflicting emotions, for example, desire, anger, jealousy, confusion and ignorance countless other emotions. All this ignorance stems from ignorance; that's a no-brainer state and does not recognize the true nature of the mind. This confusion is the cause of all the hassle and confusion of Samsara. But this ignorance is not permanent. It can be removed by applying the way of wisdom. By transforming ignorance into wisdom, people will be able to understand the truth. This will eventually lead us to a state of enlightenment. Therefore, as a Buddhist, most important purpose is to develop wisdom and understanding of the fundamental teachings of Buddhism, such as the Four Noble Truths, Eightfold Path; and then practice the path of the bodhisattva and tantric methods. Understanding this will help us develop wisdom.
Besides instilling knowledge of French, apply these teachings are also extremely important. Any France which our mind comprehend, we must apply. For example, everyone knows that he should generously. But this understanding is not enough. We need to do what you have to understand him and to practice charity every time.
Similarly, the important virtues so well and we need to practice to practice. Only by applying the teachings into practice, we can achieve a state of awareness.
The more we understand about France, the more we understand where and when to apply. Every moment in any situation of our daily life are opportunities to practice, so we develop spiritually. We experienced difficult situations, it is the greater opportunity for us to succeed in practice.
For example, we could have an enemy, he has caused us innumerable things are not as standard, hatred and curse us. Overall, this is a bad situation, no one wants to be hated and cursed, this caused a lot of suffering. However, looking at aspects of spiritual practice, this is a good time to challenge us, it gives us the opportunity to develop and strengthen our positive attitude towards France. Patience is an important doctrine in Buddhism and we can practice it in every situation. Especially when we face our enemies, we need to be patient and tolerant. If we can apply these principles, we will succeed in practice.
Suffering is the path to happiness. Basically, we undergo the more difficult, the results that we achieve as big, just as we must work hard to achieve good results. Although we may encounter numerous challenges, obstacles and hindrance, but it was easy road to success. France is very valuable, it helps us to overcome all the challenges, no matter if it is a real challenge or mentally. France is the only security context leads us to success.
Therefore, being a Buddhist does not mean always present in the temple. In fact, a Buddhist devotee can at any place, at work, in the street or in a restaurant. In other words, when we can still apply and implement the French all the time, I was a Buddha main tuchan. Some people take advantage of all the time in their experience to develop their spiritual practice, it is true Buddhist. These people can not be applied effectively France but always in the temple, then known as the superficial Buddhists. People who exercise regularly and practice French properly, and at the same time, both to temple, which is very positive Buddhists and is a practitioner.
What happens when ignorance, the practitioner can recognize it immediately. Once aware of it is ignorance, we will apply the wisdom to make the purification of ignorance and escape his troubles. Thus, whatever the emotions and ignorance will appear, we must take it as a challenge and overcome it, it is the most accurate method that we must follow.
However, the practice not as easy as we think. The realized when ignorance appearance can become very difficult. Even when we got out of it, remember it, and use the antidote it is difficult to implement effectively. The power of ignorance can be extremely large compared to the remedy to dissolve it, one can not have the ability to eliminate ignorance quickly. Actually, all of us want to purify a large number of his ignorance but ignorance is too much, so we can not overcome them all at once. The constant effort and diligence will help us repel them. Finally, our efforts will become a positive habit and one day we may succeed.
Once there was a merchant named Norbu Zangpo Tibet, he spent all the money in the business. Since the failure in business, he felt very disappointed, frustrated and want to withdraw. Very sad, he lay down on the ground and saw an ant trying to climb over a haywire. Halfway through, it again fell. It tries to climb again and so, he counted 79 times falls ants. But the last time was the 80th, the ant has climbed the top of the grass. Suddenly, he realized without sustained effort, it can not succeed in anything. Since then, he has tried a lot and working hard, he succeeded. He became the richest merchants and the most successful in Tibet. Tiny insect has become the driving force of his attempts.
The story reminds us to continuous efforts and not be afraid of failure. In this process, even if we do not achieve the desired results from the first time, we also need to practice until they achieve the desired results. We lack the awareness and long-term effort. I would expect an immediate result without much effort. It's impossible. France is a spiritual practice that can not bring anyone else or by moving to us to be. This is easy if you know how to turn France into action, a purifying antidote to ignorance. If France becomes something that makes people increased fame or ignorance, it will develop into a very negative side for us. If France were to practice the right way, we can reduce heart infuriating ignorance, ignorance, desire and all other emotions.
Basically, through all this process, we will be able to distinguish a person's true Buddhist or not. A true Buddhist who not only understand the doctrine but also practice them and experience the results that it brings. Not a true Buddhist means we do not apply the teachings into practice and never changes his attitude on the spiritual path. Instead, they pride themselves on their knowledge of the French and overlooking others, this will increase the negative thinking of them.
Listening to the teachings and reflect and meditate, that is all things to work out. We should try to understand the teachings of the Buddha, then ponder and legal studies. After learning about the logic of truth, we must adopt and implement all that we have learned and meditated on it. With this method, our Dharma practice will become more efficient and we will be able to achieve enlightenment.
Meditation does not mean just sit down and put his hands together. Meditation can be done in many different ways such as developing generosity, patience and virtue. In fact, all these practices are related to meditation, it requires understanding and wisdom. For example, if a person was cooking and said that he was meditating, I will not believe because I think that meditation is not so. How he can meditate while cooking? However, if he applies the virtues of wisdom and understanding in the process of cooking, he really is meditation.
In Vajrayana, we have a lot of texts, instruments and a wide variety of different publications etc ... All these things are part of meditation. Through these meditations and practices, we are able to recognize the nature of mind more effectively.
In the end, a true Buddhist who apply the teachings of the Buddha in the center and in everyday life. By doing so, we will awaken in every thought and action. Once we had been happy there, I will no longer make mistakes and will continue to develop positive thinking as well as merit and wisdom. When we had all that happy, peaceful happiness within us will grow and we will be fully satisfied and achieved all of the goals of life.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.
