It's true that:
Receiver details of a pack of liberation
Positive net average particle sprinkling water spending
Want to ask Buddha of compassion
Absolve salvation, the soul of the West.
And
Who do heart Buddha My take
Natural super rid of reincarnation
International Forums following diagnosis Buddhist word
Has spent porridge bowl of incense
Yellow diamond called slim shirt
Helping to make viaticum ascension.
Is the expression signaling ethical virtues of each one of us. In society, always present two meaningful activities seem contradictory but are inextricably linked to each other that is gracious (kind) and pay (report) Thanks (grace). The ancients taught: " There are two things definitely have to do, one is to forget when you help others, two is to remember, to return the favor when others help themselves ". Action is gracious and repay indispensable in any society because of where human life can exist independently, they always exist in the relationship, the cohesion among individuals with other entities. Marx once said: " Man is the sum total of social relations ", so if you have taste that people with parents, relatives, can not help but love the country; teachers, friends; and by extension to all beings, fellow. Together with their parents the grace, which incorporates three concepts: "Four grace" in Buddhism. That is:
-On Parents: the grace of birth and rearing.
-On Teachers: the grace to teach the knowledge, things or, perhaps right.
-On Social countries: the grace of ensuring and preserving the environment of peace and stability.
-On Beings, fellow citizens: the grace of those who produce material goods so that we survive and develop.
No one can say that this kind of four, he's just another gift under this kind does not. As mentioned above, people always exist in relation to other individuals, is the sum of many relationships should necessarily bear this grace all four. However, within a short article, does not allow analysis can go into this grace all four, so, the writer focuses on filial piety in the first case that is hospitable to their parents, the three remaining cases will mention again when conditions permit. Buddhism is filial piety, took loving man (and all creatures) as input. Compassion comes from loving parents, and then expanded to the people, humanity. Therefore, in his classic The Buddha taught filial piety more unspeakable. What has this life taste. What previous life also had taste. What about offering hospitality and support their parents. What about the super hospitality parents .... Therefore, to practice the Buddhist must take filial piety as the first, because the scriptures taught, " Phoenix's parents worship worship Buddha ". More specifically, Lord Maitreya has verses that:
On the two statues of Buddha
Commercial for life do not know that.
He never used the golden statue covered
Nor carved jackfruit wood.
This display is the father with mother
Was Maitreya and Gautama
If two objects are also being that
Merit must also demand no further.
And for parents who're born, reared teach us from childhood until old age. His contribution of parents so vast, young lean, leaning tank. Therefore, to partially repay the favor, we " One Heart Worship Mother, father glass; For a new round is direct filial son ". Here the reason to say partly because the scriptures: " In this world of you parents is the greatest thing ." The Buddha had taught many times: " O Bhikkhus, there are two people that we can not repay it was father and mother ". With the birth of his grace, we though " hundreds of thousands of lives all flesh from the bones spread out to take care of the parents also have yet to repay ." Hospitality means of children to parents is not only reflected in the material supply, but also serve in the spiritual realm. Parents need to love and care for their children: " Children dependable father, old trees with n". So, besides cared "piece of rice, clothing " for parents, we need to " early visit, evening visit ", chat, security issues for parents parents really happy old age . Especially when sick parents, to " pick master, changes in medication: devoted care from morsel of food, drinking water, on the countenances always cheerful, patient demand for rapid out. Filial, do so, call signaling among several ". Along a similar view, from over 2500 years ago Confucius also taught: " Life is now seen anyone nurturing parents are to be commended and hospitality. But dogs and horses are raised. So if adopted parents without respect what is different pets . " Or such business segments ceremony also writes: " When parents alive but intently on enrichment, not taking care of their parents is not round filial piety ". Confucius also taught German continued: " Yes, I helped work with wine, delicious food tastes invite parents is reasonable? Keep cheerful countenance when sharing with new parents it's hard . " However, do not put too filial up since early that we do things " inhuman, immoral ", or even being a parent to do evil things, bad things to harm others. Such hospitality is "stupid hospitality." But to "Phat Buddha psychoanalysis, spontaneous and advised parents to know vegetarian Buddha, made of philanthropy to be able to report the birth house of proportion with adoptive parents as the Buddha taught." Besides, also be wise to just filial to parents to just "benefit, student populations," just inherit and promote the virtues of both parents to dissuade parents know to leave things not good, he was the "true taste", is "curious mind", is to taste really like people always admired ... Unfortunately, in our society today due to the negative effects of the market economy have appeared more or less pragmatic lifestyle, chasing the material benefits ordinary forgetting the traditional values of the national cultural identity, forgetting the sacred duty of the children to their parents. Admittedly, the fact remains no less the concept of filial piety is simple and misleading. Therefore, when applied to life did not carry complete its true meaning, turning filial piety becomes a form, captious mediocre, leading to the practice of filial piety is only responsible, as obligations without departing lu heart, from the heart. Or if not forced, it is also sometimes, not often, but many of them anonymous time, opportunity, using parents as the "tools" to benefit yourself. It laments the society there are unfilial, the "negative element" is a daily, hourly desert, parents, parents considered as burdens his side. Yet when a parent dies, the family held the funeral flexibility to look into that outsiders thought it was the children, "filial piety". The "mirror" epic which, it is thought the media spent countless ink to condemn. But, no matter how much written matter is still not enough if we do not yet fully formed moral norms needed to be able to adjust these acts "inhumane" there. Or like yourself every man not in self, character development, ethics in order to have a healthy life, useful, moved away from the temptations of lust ... Buddha is also a shining example of filial piety. " News like this taste Path Gautama Buddha to his father who had been hiding in the forest in the monkhood. He tried to retreat but to become Buddha. So far they worship Him that cult to the king Suddhodana. What throne honor, colon prospect by ". Or as the great king Suddhodana dying. He stood up to take care of everything, bowed before his father and reverently shadowy procession needle off the father about where "final resting" for a full-filial. Thus, was created, the omnipotence hospitality, sages, or who's the same mortal. And despite the high Enlightenment who ally with boundless jurisdiction or most normal people, then to parents and children always remain children, so the logistics worried parents is affordable no need to argue anymore more. This much is not enough to say all that to say the writers themselves and the entire society, but, from the above analysis we have seen somewhat educational implications of cultural greatness Buddhism in the process of formation and development of national cultural identity of Vietnam. Human signaling season we are well aware of the true meaning of the holidays Vu Lan to take more practical action, harder for the family and for society. Having done so they can liberate themselves only to be freed for other people. Promoting traditional Buddhist incarnation of Vietnam, we aspire to follow the example of the ancients to taste to contribute to building a good society, implementation of the "good life, good religion".
