Of causality in the Dhammapada.

Who ever read the Dhammapada also favorite thing. This is an understandable texts, easy to remember, easy to practice. Also from this text, students also contemplate direct that: One of the signature of the financing of the Buddha preached his words simple truth is taught, it seems everyone is aware and is comfortable. Beginners economic sense in the practice of charity law, legal renounce evil. But the highly educated, increasingly reflect more deep feeling considerate. Later, the Patriarch, the erudite commentator multicultural, but commentaries authored thousands of pages thick, tens of thousands of words about karma karma, but can not replace the simple teachings full of metaphors Buddha in the business of Dhammapada and some other business.

 

Design thinking, looks like the words of the Buddha has an impact on the hearts and minds both autologous we, on the whole each human being, and not just talking with each person's reason exists, even Whether it's the voice of wisdom.

When the sermon, the Buddha used many examples, rather than to the image example, because the example Buddha often used to evoke images, with beautiful images and poetic, physically strong sexy I will see in the verses cited

" The leader of France,

Italian master, the creation,

If with the pollution,

Speak or act,

Anguish following steps,

As the car, foot dragging objects. (Rack 1)

According to Buddhism, we do evil or speak evil is evil because the mind thinks. So it says, " Italy leads the French, Italian master, the creation ". The translators used the word, and the word heart. Skirt! "The law" only for good or evil actions. The word "law" in Buddhism has many meanings, but here, the only method of good or evil, expressed in words or actions.

 

Beijing said that if say or do with evil (ie, pollution and impure), the suffering will be immediate, as well as follow the foot wheel buffalo. Of course, with this result after suffering happen again, but said it was evil and do evil is immediately disturbed mind, and everyone is afraid of ridicule ... This is the pain occurs immediately.

Conversely, if say good, do good with kindness, they can immediately joy, bliss, and the ball never left the picture.

"If with the pure,

Speak or act,

An optimistic following steps,

As the ball does not leave the picture. " (Rack 2)

This is principally objectively. For example, can not quell the hatred with hatred, only love can take to extinguish hatred. Shelves 5 of the Dhammapada says:

"With hatred destroy hatred,

This life does not have to be,

Do not kill hatred hatred,

Is the ancient law. "

Wholesome lifestyle make people strong, steady against all challenges, contrary bohemian lifestyle, lazy will make people rotten coward, fallen, like shelves 7 and 8 said:

"Who live look translational Minister,

No holder of the apartment,

Eating lack moderation

Slothful, such ardent,

Ma threatened person was,

As weak tree before the wind. " (Shelf 7)

"Who lived customary impurity,

Ingenious upholding the apartment,

Eating be sober,

Have faith, ardent,

Ma was not threatened,

As rocky before the wind. " (Shelves 8)

In the second stanza, there are some concepts and terms, can be confusing for people not familiar with the concepts and terms of Buddhism private.

Interoperability is the form, colorful beautiful, clean. Actually when oneself look every form, colorful, beautiful where there is wrong, but not cleverly keeping his mind, born craving, it's a mistake infatuation. Especially for female identity, Buddha often taught, " you should not hold general minister or minister in particular, do not have craving and hold . "For example, you are married, do not remember secretly falls in love with theft, take all how to conquer. Key mistakes and crimes stemming from it, since such illicit craving.

 

If it comes to the category of "beautiful", it is thought, image and Buddhas, bodhisattvas are "beautiful" one. Daily Buddhist contemplation, contemplation, fans to learn the noble virtue of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Contemplation, contemplation and fans like that are to be made, should be encouraged.

Lifestyle distractions, let loose also shows that not only lazy, no faith in justice, in goodness, in the saints and the teachings of the sages, but even eating indiscriminately , not moderation. Such persons lifestyle, often unworthy charismatic, easy to dictate. Beijing Dhammapada use the word "ghost" to refer to those unworthy, not only the devil.

Wise people know his mental training, making the heart always think of good, do not think evil, so, word and deed and goodness. Heart smart man so religious, economic Dhammapada smart wallet with roofing roof, rainwater does not penetrate it. For well-practiced mind, the unworthy evil dominate nor be:

"As awkward roof house,

Instant rain from entering,

Also not religious center,

Greed instant penetration. " (13 pallets)

"As smart house roofing,

The rain did not penetrate,

Also, smart center initiates,

Greed is not compromised. " (Shelf 14)

Who does good, this life happy, happy, even joyful afterlife happy. If you do evil, then this life sadness, unhappiness, life after suffering misfortune is even more:

"Nay grief, life after grief,

Wicked two sad life,

It's sad, it offers the brain,

See UE now you do. " (Shelf 15)

"Now the fun next lifetime,

Almsgiving two lifetimes,

It's fun, it happily,

Seeing his net now do. " (16 pallets)

"Now, coal, coal afterlife,

Two coal wicked life,

He lamented, "I do evil"

Fall deprivation, more coal. " (Shelf 17)

"Nay happy, happy afterlife,

Making life blessed two praises,

It praises "I do charity"

Fresh realms, more happiness. " (18 pallets)

Buddhism admonishes please ardent devotees do good, evil people go soon abandon evil does good because, under the law of causality not wrong, good things will bring much benefit to us, as well as the evil will harm themselves. Therefore, economic Dhammapada says:

"Enemies damage enemies,

Unfairly undermining any injustice in,

Not in the mind towards evil,

Causes evil to himself. " (42 pallets)

 

I hurt my enemy, not by ourselves actually harm us, if we have the heart and nourishes evil that evil mind. Conversely, if the holding is kindness, say, do and have the kindness goodness that brings benefit to her than her parents, their loved ones do yourself:

"The father, mother, relatives,

No can do,

Mind done good direction,

Do better. " (43 pallets)

There are evil people to see what luck, which is good. Why so? It is due to good works, that evil people do before. As for the evil that he is doing in the present, it has not matured. Buddhist book called "bad karma not ripe". In contrast, there are the gentle, life does good, but there was much unhappiness, which is due to the evil he made ​​before, now ripe. The good, the good he does in the present, it has not matured. But doing Dhammapada commandments people, the gentle and evil people, to master the law of causality, do not see things ahead and jump to conclusions causal laws have no effect:

"The evil is an excellent show,

When the wicked are not ripe,

When karma ripens,

Evil people see evil. " (Shelf 119)

Evil people see is gentle, ... gentleness here means something good, something lucky. Evil people do evil, but again luck, evil thoughts that do not have anything, but in fact it is due to his evil deeds do not ripen. Beijing Dhammapada continue commandments evil people:

"Do not belittle evil contempt,

Given that "less alone"

As dripping water,

Then the bottle is filled,

Fool filled with evil,

Due gradually contained. " (Shelf 121)

Verses on not the commandment not to do evil, but also the commandment not to commit the slightest evil. Because small to large volume, as well as dripping water bottle is full already.

For the sage, Dhammapada recommendation as well, ie not underestimate the small good:

"Do not despise the good cooking,

Given that "less alone"

As dripping water,

Then the bottle is filled,

Hotel filled with friendly people,

Due gradually contained. " (Shelf 122)

Men of good, evil lives among healthy life rather well for people with hands like no injuries, took poison without harm.

"The hand is not injured,

Could hold the poison,

No injuries avoid toxic,

Do not do no evil. " (Shelf 124)

Notwithstanding the fools seek to harm the sage, the fools that no different behavior stand against the wind that hit the dirt, dust and dirt will face fools, not able to contaminate the sage:

"Disadvantage people no malice,

Pure no unclean person,

Crime to fools,

As the dust thrown against the wind. " (Shelf 125)

 

The wicked do evil and then, thinking maybe run away, but the Dhammapada states, the wicked do evil, but not determined to fix it despite evasion sky or in the sea, is not immune from retribution evil will come to you:

"Not on the maintenance of the sea,

Not flee to mountain activities,

Nowhere in heaven,

Escaped evil fruit " (Shelf 127)

This is principally an objective, but not the machinery. In the book of Buddhism, the concept merits. By doing good deeds and often create strong, we can limit and eventually eliminate unwholesome karma is created beforehand. So that the Dhammapada says:

"Who lived before let loose,

After living without distractions,

Dazzling bright this world,

Like the moon freed clouds. " (Shelf 172)

"Whose fresh almond,

Industrial obscure evil,

Dazzling bright this world,

Like the moon freed clouds. " (Shelf 173)

When Lord Buddha in the world, a notorious bandit of murder, is Angulima enlightened Buddha and for renunciation. Then Angulima not become a monk gentle and compassionate, but also attained Arhat. Murder is the biggest crime, not the murder Angulima but also kill many people. Who killed many people, if put under fresh evil but also attained Arhat, let alone ordinary people. We can say, for Buddhism, enlightenment and liberation door open to everyone, regardless of good or evil, very evil man even, as long as that person honestly improve misconduct, the district, hatred , chilled.

The ancients had a saying: "Suffering boundless sea,

       Earlier in the short ... "

Sea mean immense suffering but wide, but turned his head and saw the shore immediately. Previously, although we have made what crime, Buddhism also advised us not to be depressed, disappointed. Heart healthy, good actions have very tremendous improvement, we are not fully foreseen. What we should remember and every mind is liberation and enlightenment is everyone's business, not anyone make a difference who is both. To switch bad karma into good karma, so eliminate or at least limit the evil results can happen, we have determined to abandon evil themselves, do good:

Dhammapada says:

"Themselves to do evil,

Defiled yourself,

Do not themselves evil,

Purify yourself,

Purification is not pure self,

No one pure one. " (Shelf 165)

The verses of the Dhammapada relate to reasonable cause and effect is not small. The more we read the more poignant, more reading and reflection, our mind becomes quiet in the morning. The Buddha's teaching, writing or, the beautiful and deep, daily reading, as read more see good, and if the practice is even seen or extremely, extremely beneficial. Also because of this sense Dhammapada also called breviary for anyone who lives experimental radial radial to liberation.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH TAM GIAC.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN PRAYED BUDDHIST NUN MONASTERY.THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN PRAYED BUDDHIST NUN GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY.18/8/2015.
