People are always busy with good and bad thoughts as well as those intended to do this good and evil that. While sales are busy attempting to do so, to death and that the audience pats have left behind all wealth, property, and loved ones to exit from this world forever.
Therefore we must understand the importance of time preceding death (the near-death) and how to cope with imminent death calmly and benefits.
Four Causes of Death
Death occurs due to four reasons, are (1) lifespan has elapsed, (2) ending now, (3) a combination of the two reasons above, and (4) non-temporal death by a karma (the industrial segment - upacchedakakamma) - interrupt. An allegoric suitable for four causes of death are the initials of an oil lamp. The lamp may turn off by four factors are (1) the oil runs out, (2) heart sunk, (3) a combination of both: shallow oil and heart sunk, and (4) external causes like the wind suddenly blow out or someone intentionally blew out.
first . Life span has elapsed
Each plane has a life expectancy of different networks. In this realm of human life-changing or life, depending on the lifetime increased reduction (kappa). If at the time the world is increasing life, human life expectancy will also increase until the infinite, while in the world cycle is reduced, the human life span also decreases down to a level of only ten years ( age). When Gotama the Buddha appeared in this world, the maximum age is said to be a hundred years old. Today that level is only about seventy-five. Those with normal business can not exceed this maximum level; only those born with the capacity of special karma can live surpassed seventy five. Their longevity can be attributed to past karma and tonic as the elixir of immortality - rasayana, for example.
During the Gotama Buddha (Codam) Supposedly Maha Cadiep (Mahakassapa) Supposedly Anan (ananda) and Mrs. Visakha, benefactors of Oriental temple myself, lived to 120 years old; Supposedly Bakula live to 160 years old. The position has created the extremely noble karma in past lives. Normal people, no such special karma, will not live more than 75 years of their life span. The death of this age is called "normal life span has elapsed," as well as lamp oil quench all though heart (wick) remain so.
2 . Death due to end now
Karma brought to life of a person would support life from conception onwards phase until day capacity (now that) ended. There are also other kind now enhanced for the life support now and when the karma is exhausted, people will die even though their life span is not yet satisfied. So if karma terminates at age 50, he or she will die at that age though their life span is 75. This is similar to lights also went down off by heart even in light oil remains.
3. Death due to both factors
Some beings die because of life-and karma exhausted, like the oil lamp off by heart and are dried simultaneously. Therefore, there are people who live to age 75 if they have the support of karma until that age. Three types of die above-called dead time (kāla-mana).
4. Pilot dead time
Upacchedaka means non-temporal death or abnormal death. Some beings rather continue to live because life span and their karma allowed to live like that. But if the evil deeds they had done in the past suddenly bear fruit, when the evil of leaving them to die now a non-temporal death. This death is like the initials of the lamp by a wind blowing through the heart, and though oil remains, or because someone deliberately blew out. A death so often called death by industrial segment - upacchedaka-kamma, that is the interruption of karma by intense fruit interjected.
Supposedly Moggallana (Mahā Moggallana), in a past life have committed matricide. His evil deeds this chance do bear fruit in Mahā Mahamoggallana last life; therefore he suffered the attack of five hundred robbers before he joins the residual time Nirvana (parinibbana). King Tanbasala (Bimbisara), one of the previous life went on in the main hall shoes. Due to this bad now, he must die in pain because of the moths incision wounds on the soles of our present life. Empress Samagoati (Samavati) and her maid, in a past life was a fire in a haystack, inadvertently including a Pratyekabuddhas is samadhi (thought to exterminate life) (samapatti). When grass burn out, they discovered that he had burned a Pratyekabuddhas. To cover up his sinful behavior (because they mistakenly think that they have burned Pratyekabuddhas virtue, but in reality he can not be a fire or harmed while being samadhi), they have more quality in your firewood Pratyekabuddhas and setting fire and turned away, thinking, "Now he will burn to ashes." After leaving the meditation at the end of Saturday, Germany Pratyekabuddhas got up and left, not harmed at all . Karma that has found opportunities to work and therefore they must die a death by being burned alive pilot time to death. These are cases in which a powerful unwholesome has caused the deaths of non time.
Some positive karma can create instant retribution. Devil Dusi (Māra) started throwing stones at the saint's disciples Kassapa Buddha. Nanda hit that ball a hammer in his head shaved -Development of Sun Imitation relics. Germany Bodhisattva Khantivadi when Magi was killed on the orders of King Kalabu. All these people - Dusi, Nanda, and King Kalabu - extreme negative karma because they do, were swallowed up by the land (land withdrawal) in their present life. Thus, the very act of cruelty would create immediate bad effects. Similarly, those who offend or insult the parents, elders and moral virtue, certainly suffer the ill effects of unwholesome they did and killed the pilot of death called akalamarana (phi the death) before their life span ends.
The Case of the Dead Timeless
Continuum list - color, or mind and body, of every sentient being accompanied by the bad karma of the past. The bad karma itself unable to effect serious enough to kill him. But when people do the wrong thing does not have an understanding of how to hedge themselves, not pay attention to health and their daily lives, the karma's going to get the opportunity bring harm or Death for them. If in the past, a person had been starved, tortured, beaten, burned, engulfing or torture others, the karma because of that they will face a similar fate. Those who have been abused in the past other people suffering from chronic diseases such as asthma, leprosy, etc ... and to live for the rest of life-misfortune and misery of her, and then killed by the her illness. Neglectful in the habits of life will call the past karma come to fruit. The wise old mind has left many memorable adage: "Life is secured by being visionary foresee and wisdom. Disaster occurred just as a minute without thinking; if only for a very shabby piece of food that harm human life. Fools go into the cave lobster certainly be asking for painting, not because of luck that could have been avoided. Do not believe their good now but jump into the fire, he now will not save you from burning it! "
What the wise ancient mind want to say is: "Every person who has a repository of evil karma in the past; if misdeeds are not too strong, they can not get the opportunity to become effective. We only have the opportunity to be neglectful results when people (living sloppy), and not pay attention to the carelessness of their lifestyle. Therefore, if a person living carelessly and despise their health, not farsighted and preventive care prior to myself, then even a little karma will also have the opportunity to work and death also very close to such a person (even before life-and their karma termination) "This is the advice of the wise position for the next generation.
In summary, the four types of death mentioned above, type final (non-temporal death) is very popular nowadays because most of them live a reckless, reckless. Negligent in lifestyle is the main cause of the non-temporal death. Those who want to live for the rest of their life span need to preserve life with mindfulness and wisdom.
Importance of Minutes of Last Seconds
When a dying person by any person in four people have said, it is important that they must obtain the express moral consciousness (javana-cittas) about half an hour before his death. If the charity is thinking prevailed until the last breath, he surely will be reborn in happy planes. If they have the express immoral consciousness before dying, surely they will be reborn in four woeful. Therefore, the final round for horse racing How important, then the last moment for a person to have a good rebirth is so important. A person can be good or bad thoughts before deathbed object depending on the type of emergence to their hearts.
Three types of objects
Just before he dies, people will see one of three objects, that is, kamma (now), kamma nimitta (Industry Minister) and gati-nimitta (the Prime Minister). Here now means good deeds or bad (say other than, those investments or deliberate - cetanā - good or evil) they had done in the past. Industry Minister - Kamma nimitta is the tool or tools they had used in the implementation of the work was good or evil. Animal PM - gati nimitta is the vision of the realm or where they will be reborn into it.
Now appears as Audience How
When the past and acting career that people have done only a few seconds before, or only half an hour or one hour before, or when the workers performed many past lives, or many eons ago, had the opportunity for regeneration results in subsequent birth, they will appear immediately to the mind of the dying. Concerning the appearance of industry, should be made clear here that, if his career is now alms or morality, it will appear with remembrance, or by self-initiation at that moment like a dream dress. So there are two ways of karma appear. As for karma, if he is now killing, then the appearance of being recalled or career is due to launch itself out as if the killing was being done at that moment. Thus there are also two ways of unwholesome appearance. For other moral and immoral career appearance should be interpreted in such a way.
General Industrial Emergence How
Who would ever think that killing them was the weapon used: sword, knife, net (fish), arrows, sticks, etc ... as near-death scene. A butcher was told to see the picture of a prophetic cow bones. Who ever do something immoral as theft, adultery etc ..., will see the spectacle commensurate with their evil deeds. Who ever do things as good as built temple to make Tower will see scenes Temples, Chedi immediately before death. Or they may see things which they were giving, charity donations combined with the construction of their temple tower creates, like Y, Bat, floral, candles etc ... For those who have held world or meditate will see the picture as stringing, clean clothes, the hall, the forests where practitioners often to meditate etc ... Those who work in service, reverence will also see the pictures of proportionality.
Animal General Appearance How
At near-death, the signs as omens would appear to indicate that the next life of a person. If a person will be reborn Heaven, the goddess, Thien palace, and park etc ... God will appear in front (center) with him. If a person will be reborn in the human realm, the red walls of the fetus's future mother will appear with them. If hell is their fate, the time they will see the black dog (black dog), hell, or the ruler of the underworld. Man is to become hungry ghosts (petas) will see the large forests, mountains, rivers, coast where they will reside.
The Manifestation On Face
The expression on the faces of the dying will point out to see their next births. If their faces in bright and joyful, make sure they will be reborn in the higher realms (like Devas etc ...). A gloomy faces, sad or stern shows the rebirth of the realm they will be low. However, there are also cases where they would smile in a state of fascination for the past pleasures. The smile was not seen as a good sign.
The Manifestation Through whisper
Sometimes the dying whisper or talk softly words pronounced something no one unwittingly. Once there was an old man, father of Elder Sona, arahants, once a hunter when he was young, his old ordained as Bhikkhus in the temple of his son. When dying, in near-death scene, he saw the black dog just chased him. He cried constantly, "Hey, son! Let's chase the dogs away for you. "
Sona He knew that his father saw the bad omen and will definitely born in hell. Thanks to the monks in the temple seeking the flowers immediately brought to disperse them on the Tower (Church Relics), he helped his father to the Tower with bed and told him, "Hey Master, be happy to. I have offered them flowers on behalf of Master. "The father was resuscitated and while offering flowers to Buddha's mind on the unconscious back. In the near-death situation he now found the female God (fairies in heaven) and so he whispered, "Hey baby, let's invite them to sit; the design of the form is to behold. "At that time the son thought," Now the signs of the realm of heavenly beings appeared. "The old monk died and been born to Heaven.
Types of Animal Chess (gati-nimitta)
Other There are some people dying suddenly see real scenes about their livelihood recurrence. At Gotama Buddha (Gautama Buddha ie us), Revati wife of a wealthy man named Nandiya, the woman very arrogant conceit. She has no faith in the Buddha and often vilify the monk; opposite her husband was a very pious devotees. After his death he became a heavenly beings. When Revati dying, two Dementors from hell to paradise pulled her up and showed her splendid life that Nandiya (her husband) is enjoying. Then they dragged her back to hell to punish her for the cruel behavior on the human world.
Also in the time of the Buddha, a respectable devotees named Dhammika (Visit-eyelid-KA) for refuge in the Three Jewels. He led a group of devotees to live a life of morality. When the hour of death approached, he listened to all of the monk chanting his bedside, and found six deck Thien far (vehicle from heaven down) on the top waiting to take him to Heaven (devaloka). He also saw and heard the heavenly beings compete to see who will be the man to take him on their marksmanship. Soon he died and was God's Away Tusita heaven (Dau rate) transported to Heaven, where he became a heavenly beings (deva).
For people who have swallowed soil (soil cracking) due to the serious negative karma (five against contemporary crime), they will direct feeling the heat of hell fire ATY (Avici) right now. So, now we have seen the Prime Minister (gati-nimitta) appears different ways. In our time, too, there are some people deathbed heard the music (heaven) and smell the pleasant scent, sometimes people standing nearby and heard and smelled again. These gati-nimitta together with industry (kamma) and Industry Minister (Kamma nimitta) often appear as the illusion due to the power of the past now find opportunities to work.
Help For Scene Good Appearance
When an infected person is slowly dying a natural death, the teacher organizations, friends and relatives who can help to further those objects appear in the sight of her dying. When we know that the disease can not be recovered, they will clean the room and the area around it for very clean and floral offerings to the Buddha (Buddhist altar). At night, the entire room must be lighted. They will advise the dying person to visualize the scene floral, candles that had been offered to the Buddha on their behalf and ask him this happy with the improvement. They will also read texts paritta (Business Bao-status) at which heart patients can still think of the sacred objects. Relatives should not feel disappointed and caregivers should not they also looked melancholy. The prayers and floral offerings not only in the last moments before he died, which must be done before many days. Just so the dying newly instilled in the mind of the Buddha wholesome offerings and teachings, sweet smelling fragrance of the flowers, hear the sound of security measures, or the teachings of Buddha in a few days.
Thus, when the moment to die approached, at the patients are seeing the light and fruit offerings before the Buddha, the smell of sweet incense, hear the security measures, the interest element will arise before these objects disappear. Therefore the good thinking of this last moment belongs to karma, the dead will inevitably reborn in the realm of good. Therefore the teacher organizations, friends and relatives should be responsible for helping to improve the object appear to mind the dying while they are still capable direction his mind on this object. Remember the Elders Sona helped to his father's bad signs disappear and make good generals appear to his mind how to help the dying man get the true benefits.
Recycling center Occurred How
Soon the center element (of the past lives) to terminate, regenerate mind arises in the next life. Two interrelated this center. Between death and heart regeneration center no distance (interruption) at all. Someone has to die in the human realm will immediately be reborn in a certain realm, can be hell or paradise. Even after death, heart regeneration occurs and leads to the formation of a new being, a new life.
Two ditthi
We must be very careful, because if not we would notion of death and rebirth in the light of the two viewpoints is often is (sassata-ditthi) and segments is (uccheda-ditthi). Believe that there is a soul resides in the body, and soul into a body of this new transference to become other beings that often is (sassata: that the soul is eternal + diṭṭhi: TA). Believing every name (nāma) and color (rupa) of past lives (including what they think is the soul) does not have a continuation in the next life, when a person dies in a previous life including things like terminating (go to the complete destruction), and perhaps a new beings can so god created, the segment is (uccheda: end of one's life all life and matter in which totally destroyed; no continuity at all + diṭṭhi: TA)
Right For right rebirth in a new life, three factors - ignorance (avijjā), craving (Tanha), and karma (kamma) is considered the most important. As death approached, ignorance cover up the defects of the aggregates and matter in the next life. Craving now yearn for that existence. Although the signs (General Condition) ugly and terrifying appearance of subsequent birth, craving think it would be a life without the evil, frightening her. Thus, by not see cons (of aggregates) for covering up its ignorance, greed tends toward and grasping new life. In this new life, by the power of workers, capital and matter called regeneration will be set up first.
Thus, because of name and form, to keep students in one moment the new life, arising as a result of ignorance, greed and karma in a previous life, that passage is "the new birth (due to the light God's creation, etc ...) has no relevance whatsoever to the previous life ", is not correct; and often said that "the soul from past lives reincarnation in the next life" is not right either. What to say and matter in a previous life reincarnation into new life, even in one's life, and matter being in one place, and did not move to another place and then, as they destroyed immediately after birth dress. So what are called "permanent soul" is basically non-organic (non-existent: the non-organic, with no or non-existent)
Therefore, we must be very careful not to be led away by two viewpoints lapse this. We must understand that in a new life, conception, formation and mentality, as a result of ignorance, greed, and now of past lives. This is the only right view. When we shout in the vicinity of a mountain, we will hear an echo. This echo is not the original sound created by us, but it is not independent of her first sound. When a lamp is the bait from the flame of the lamp first, a new flame is not the flame of the first lamp; but it is not independent of the flame of her lamp. Likewise, the new life is not the reincarnation of the old life; but it is not independent of the old life. Remember that if the past is now immoral, this life would be so evil. Have to say, the good and bad experiences in the present life is explained by two factors: the actions (now) have done in the past, and understanding or knowledge and diligent efforts in this present life .
Conclude
When we say "a dead man" does not mean that for him it's all nothing more; important thing is that he has been reborn in a good life or not, for it to be reborn in a new life so that people die. And to prepare yourself to get in a good mood right at the death - which could only be when people die less pain, sickness gently as possible, and especially to those who know how healthy you to help us in time of death - something better and more benefits us both remain prepared for future lives, instead of waiting until the last moment. We have a moral life, and prepare for the day of his death that there was a good rebirth in samsara until attainment of Nirvana.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGTHMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.18/10/2015.
