So that knowledge can not help people out of depression, consequences of life. Therefore, more than ever, the teachings of the Enlightened always necessary, always the optimal solution for man and society in the search problem and protect his happiness, of people and of the whole society. This article, the authors aim to present a trading post in the "Journal Agama" to share a few things teachings of enlightened masters, so that we together ponder and practice.
2. Interpretation three practice
In the "Journal Agama" vol 42, of the 1147 have recorded a conversation between the Buddha and King Prasenajit. On the occasion of its operating throughout the territory which is ruled complete, the body full of dirt, the king came to visit and pay homage to the Buddha, the conversation between teachers and students was held as follows:
Buddha asked King : Hey Great King! I now ask you, Mr. please arbitrary that meet offline. Competitors like someone from the East again, with believers, with grace, never lie, to answered the king: 'I am from the East again, see a rocky, very big square, no puncture, no ruined, nor erosion, land that is grinding to. All plants and animals are being crushed. ' From the South, West, North and have people come, believers and, with grace, never lie, to answered the king: 'I see a very rocky mountain big square, not puncture, not undermined nor erosion, land that is grinding to. All plants and animals are being crushed. ' How Italian kingdom? Terrorist events, malicious, great death so happened; transportation of beings has expired; human status is difficult. Royal will have to count stars? "
King white Buddha : "If so, then there is no way other properties, only how to practice charity, dedicated facilities where the law of the Buddha."
Great Buddha King : "Why say that things happen suddenly malevolent terrorist to life, which has all of the beings, the human body is difficult; only to practice law, the meaning, practice blessing, to specialized media crystals where the Buddha's teachings? Why not say, the status of royal empowerment, head over to the people, power and liberation, great local ruler, the service, the people to address that? "
King white Buddha : "Buddha, it is said that when peace, the monarch is the head position empowerments people, ruler earth, so now with everything. Use assets Property auction. Use elephant fights. Used car auction car. Using the play sets. Or victory or defeat, even then can not control. So, I say to the diabolical terrorist incident happens, beings operate together, the human body is difficult; Meanwhile no other plans, but also practice law, the meaning, practice blessing, dedicated to take refuge in the teachings of Buddha. "
Great Buddha King : "That's right! That's right! Regular crushed, ie evil life, old age, sickness, death, pain, brain being crushed, would do? It is meant to cultivate, practitioners, religious blessing, meditation, from, in ardent Dharma means. "The conversation was ended in the joy of the King. [i]
Through an exchange between the Buddha and King Prasenajit, we are not difficult to realize that, if this corrupt world, human life decreases by birth, aging, illness, death, or something evil happen to this life, we can not use the authority, power or magic, spells ... but there is peace and happiness. Happiness only real when present itself every person to improve themselves by holiness of life. There is thus a new society of peace, the newly peaceful nation. In both texts have resulted in notable point in the teachings of the Buddha, when meeting the difficulties of life, until the process started and ended a life of bliss or misery, is set on transform the practice of every self through three practice. That is practice, practice and practice means blessed. following an analysis of three this practice.
2.1 Legal Practice
France here is understood as the Dharma, Dharma is the way light is the practice for each person on their own can make an end to the suffering seed, eliminated the evil mind, towards holiness . In the Journal Nikaya, Buddha Dharma defines the following: "Bhagavan told the monks: There are illegal, with the Dhamma. Listen and think carefully, I will because he preached say: What is illegal? Killing, deviant. It called illegal. ... till . What is Dharma? No killing, right view. That is called dharma. " [ii] So, here we see that the Dhamma, is the practice that the Buddha taught us to practice in our daily lives, such as: do not kill, do not steal as well as the Eightfold Path ... The dharma is meant to help us get rid of sow misery, leading to true happiness. But to get this happy nobody else is in itself we must understand the legal person, legal practice and legal attained. From this point, we can infer that, if life in each of us who practice the Dhamma, the joyful self, family, happy, peaceful society, prosperous country, nation high purity, to the holy seat. Just as the Exalted has said: "Only that I voluntarily Dharma, achievements Bodhi. Let reverent respect, serve, offering his approach, relying on it to live. Why? Chu Tathagata, Arhat, College Enlightenment past reverence, respect, serve, offering Dharma, rely on it to live. Chu Tathagata, Arhat, College Enlightenment future will reverence, respect, serve, offering Dharma, rely on it to live. " [iii]
2.2 Practical significance
According to the Chinese organ is "行義", Prof. Tue Sy translated "practical sense", he Bhikkhu Bodhi English translation "to live righteously" (live upright, ethical, fair, legitimate, was right) , Abbot Minh Chau translated as "live right feet." Thus, here we can understand the "practical sense" is the practice of true life, moral life, life upward. This is also the right effort in the Eightfold Path. The definition of right livelihood is Buddha in the following texts: "reverences, how is right livelihood? Reverences, here saint disciples abandon wrong livelihood, right effort to live by. Reverences, so-called right livelihood. "('Economic Discrimination On The Truth' (Saccavibhangacittasuttam), [iv] or the 'Great Economic Horse Hamlet' (Maha ssapura suttam) Buddha explained as follows from right effort "Sanh network we must be calm, intelligence chief, openly, without defect, hiding. But we did not because of his pure life, give her, belittle people." Thus, this billion- $ pretentious, and he needs to practice. " [v]
Y on the contents of the texts we can understand that, right effort is to give network deviant life; life is life right effort must be built on the foundation of purity, intelligence chief, openly, without defect, do not hide mistakes. [vi] Thus, based on two passages we can shall submit causal logic, which is the practitioner renounce evil life network (private) life practice right effort, achievement purity, intelligence chief, openly, without defect, conceal (results) .
Based on the teaching of scripture, it is thought that if we know the practice of meaning, ie the practice of life right effort, we can save your life and everyone.
2.3 Practice blessing
Practice blessing is a necessary job in the current life and future for all mortal beings to Bodhisattvas results. Creating merit is to build a beautiful life for yourself and others, this is also a practice of Buddhism. In Buddhism, practice saying the content is recorded scattered blessed lot of texts, from small things such as sharing life saving charity, supplies food, clothing, money, give alms to the large as Dharma, by teaching the Dhamma for everyone, so people peacefully liberated direction. According to what you thought of the commentator in "Abhidharma" explanation of the practice of blessing there are many ways, because traders want to bring great benefit to all beings, the Buddhas turning of the wheel; beings are immersed in love, that we find the dock senses practice; we promised the moral enough, making enough virtue; No sentient intelligence, wisdom teaching opened ... this is the practice of blessing. But there are notable in the position argued by the commentator, is the practice of merit must be established on the basis of pure body, speech, the three now. If the practice is not pure blessing in three industry still can not practice called blessed, but on the contrary may be born of sin. [vii] This argument of the commentator position, it can be said that private inheritance Buddha's idea of the "Journal Agama" Bhagavan taught as follows: Buddha told Brahmin: "There is an altar great things, but the owner of the practice of almsgiving doing good but born crime, reaping immoral retribution, stabbed by three swords. The three types are: swords by itself, swords by mouth, swords by reviews. "What is the sword by reviews, born of suffering retribution? As there is an employer organization altar, thinking: "I organize international congress itself, need to kill all those buffalo bull shark strong, buffalo cows, buffalo children, young goat, and many other species of small creatures . "It called swords by reviews, born of suffering retribution. Yet benefactors who have thought that to do the alms and offerings so, but actually doing it engenders guilt. "What is the sword by mouth, born of suffering retribution? There is a large festival host, told like this: "Now, we organized big festival sacrifices, and you must kill all those buffalo bull shark strong, till all these other little creatures." That call the swords by mouth, born of suffering retribution. Employers big festivals, but do the giving, offering, but actually doing it engenders guilt. "What is the sword by itself, born of suffering retribution? There are people all major festivals, male buffalo handedly kill, to kill the other species of tiny creatures. It called swords by itself born of suffering retribution. The owner of this great festival, but think of the charity, donation, but actually doing it engenders guilt. [viii] Through the above analysis, we found that the practice is necessary in good deeds life, as a catalyst to create a peaceful life for this life and even after death. So this is also the reason why the practice of blessing the life saving factor of this.
3. Conclusion
From the above discussion, please be summed few things:
Eternal dream of humanity is life happy, prosperous family, peaceful society, peaceful world. But to transform dreams into reality, it is none other than the practice of the Dhamma, righteous living life, sharing merit to everyone.
