Wisdom is the lighthouse that would bring people pass mesmerizing sea, the beacon of light that leads the practitioner goes to take the path of liberation. [1] With this sacred meaning, the Buddha taught in Beijing Anguttara about four kinds of light. Doing copy as follows:
This Monks, there are four types of light. Which four? Lighting moon, sunlight, light the flame, the light of wisdom. This Monks, there are four types of light. And the monks, the ultimate kind of four kinds of light is the light of wisdom. [2]
Four types of light on, in Anguttara Beijing also called four aura, [3] the four flames, [4] four light projector, [5] four lights. [6] Here, we see sunlight that usually represents the warmth, the warmth of the sun is to all things chlorophyll proliferate. The light of the moon is the gentle, magical and shimmering. Lighting can benefit dispel darkness in all the way and illuminates every corner of the entrance all about. The lighting of the fire will warm us in chilly winter night, beyond the light of the fire is also present for the rise of human life. Intellectual light of the guideline, the compass direction toward which people living upstream direction, that life is peaceful liberation.
Why Wisdom is supreme light of the four kinds of light? Because the light of Wisdom is an essential element and also spent the first part on the way the contraband or annihilation, enlightened liberation. This is evidenced in economic Agama Buddha pointed out the difference of fools and the wise. During the uprising that's dangerous blight, anger or greed masked ignorance make the practitioner could not escape samsara exists only in our suffering fool. And contrary to the mind, all the sufferings mentioned above are absent. Beijing has recorded as follows:
Increased Expenses, III-1: "All have fear arises, this Monks, all the fear that arises from ignorant people, not from the sage. Every danger has arisen, all the dangers that arise from ignorant people, not from the sage. Every evil has arisen, all her woes arise from ignorant people, not from the sage ... Like So ignorant people fear, the wise fearless, dangerous fools, the wise no danger, disaster fools, who do not have a disaster site. This, monks, there is no fear to with the wise, there is no danger to the wise, no scourge come to the wise "
Correspondingly, the second-12-19: "Behold the monks, ignorance blinded and bound craving, this body of fools is being run. Ignorance was, fool not total annihilation. Craving was , fool not to take exception. Wherefore? Hey monks, living holy fool not because the right feet end to suffering. Therefore, when the body of septic fool the public network, go to a different body. Do go to a different body, he did not get rid of old born dead, sorrow suffering brain offers. I say that he does not escape suffering ' . "And the monks, ignorance being blinded and craving Us blessed, the human body is being run Hien Hotel. Ignorance was, the gentle passage take place. Craving it, except the gentle take place. Why? Hey monks, the sage celibate, because right feet piece except suffering. Therefore, the reigns, while corrupt public network itself does not go to a different body, he freed from birth, aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, nao.Ta said: He free from suffering. "
Also, when talking about the light of wisdom, in "Modern Decor Comment" Bodhisattva Nagarjuna was interpreted as follows: " Bodhisattva teach beings should learn wisdom. Wisdom is wise, first is called the eye of wisdom. Without the wisdom eye, but there is still blind eye meat. Despite other eye without animal. If you have wisdom, self distinguish good from evil, not according to others; if not wisdom, according to the Earthquake west; as buffalo, camels followed his nose was torn. Wisdom on all compounded, is holy love, for or compounded out. As the biblical saying: In these treasures, precious wisdom than before. In all sharp furniture, knives sharp minds than before. In mountain intellectual empowerment, not fear, see the suffering beings, are found all. Blades or sever mental afflictions chain of birth and death without beginning. Intellectual capacity also makes full six Balaam bile, are immeasurable Buddhist inconceivable, necessarily the place, let alone bar text, pratyekabuddha and the good earth. Growth intellectual purity that can not be returned damaged, then called Balaam confidential. Being heard, residing in Bat-elegant three-la-confidential. " [7]
From the evidence of the texts and commentaries, we can recognize that wisdom is the source of all good arises Justice, is a prerequisite for all the practice of Buddhism, is Basic elements to bring to fruition supreme Enlightenment. [8] As a communication tool, and Action of Bodhisattva. At the same time, Insight is also the first step to go into sensory sea, and is the final step in ending the suffering of birth and death.
The reason, people immersed in samsara forever suffering from one life to another, is the absence of light of insight. Therefore, every practitioner ask yourself insight lit candle, to illuminate and disrupt membrane dark ignorance. Each person be the intellectual warriors to eradicate the pirates ignorance, afflictions did disturb his own life. If so, can we truly find peace, relaxation and the true values in life.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH TAM GIAC AND THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN.PRAYED BUDDHIST MONASTERY AND VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,ADELAIDE AND SYDNEY.18/7/2015.
