THINKING  IN THE  BUDDHIST  JURISDICTION  ..

The Mahayana Buddhism in  regard to the self-  realization  of the  Hinayana Hinayana is not only self-pervading but also carries all  sentient beings to Nibbana . 

Dharma  Pure Land  takes the "mind of the Buddha market, the mind of the Buddha" (the mind is the Buddha, the mind of the  Buddha ) as the principle,  using the method of  maintaining the name of the Buddha  throughout all prayers for all  sentient beings Finally,  the Buddha . 

The teachings  and  methods  of  Pure Land Buddhism  express  the essence and essence of  Mahayana Buddhism  . Therefore, the  Pure Land Buddhism  of  Mahayana Buddhism  is  consistent , broad and  profound . This article is  based on the  traditional Pure Land sutras ; 4  systems of the Great Divine Teachings and  Pure Land categories  to present  the discussion .    

I. The  propagation  of  the  Pure Land sutras

After the  Buddha's  death in  about 500 years, the entire Indian realm  is  only spreading  the  five  precepts ,  the Mahayana texts  are not popular. 

About  700 years after the Buddha  entered Nirvana ,  Long Shu Bodhisattvaappeared in the  South Thien Truc ,  the outward dress , the Dai Dai Dao ,  then  teachings ,  Mahayana  scriptures propagated throughout  India .   

In  Buddhist  history also recorded that the  Bodhisatta  Dragon Long  entered  the capital  to  the Lotus Flower chant ; Open the iron tower to obtain the Great Sutra and  Mahayana sutras ; Y on  the  Prajnaparamataka , the commentary  on the Dhamma ,  the Madhyamika  and the  Transcendental Mind , etc.  The explanationof the dharmas is NO, there is no place.  

Again, in the  Great Commentary  and the  Ten Commandments, the commentary   on  the Pure Land Teachings . Bodhisattva  was the eight major  Buddhist sectsof Buddhism  in  China  claim to be  ancestors  and recognize   him as the ruler,  the system  of physics  Mahayana .  

Prior to  the era of Long Thu ,  the classics  are full  of thoughts  Pure Land has been  circulated  in  India , it is business Ban  Tam Tam . By the 11th century  BC, this sutra  was  propagated . 

In the  Declaration  of the  Three Sutras,  there is a prophecy that "After I have  entered Nirvana  ,   this   thirty-four year existence will not  appear . Later in life, the Buddhist scriptures, the  bhikkhun not  follow the teachings of the Buddha , the  invading countries invaded  each other, then   this black again  appears  in the field of  Prometheus  .   

Another translation of this sutra is called "  The  Great Sutra of the Great Sutra."  The Buddha said , "We, after the  death of the  Tathagata 500 years, at the end of  that period  ,   Want to  pass away ,  illegal  prosperity,  sentient beings , countries  compete for  each other,   this trance is  circulating  in the realm of  Prometheus .    

Based on  the story, it can be  deduced  that the "Ban dan Tam Doi" was circulated  around  the 2nd century  BC . 

In the early  Mahayana Buddhism  , in  the Flower Adornment  and  the Lotus Sutra are conveyed  Buddhist meditation  of the  Pure Land . In  the Flower Adornment ,  Thien Tai  went to the south to  attend classes  with 53  knowledgeable people .  

First came to  bhikkhus   Congregation was heard about  the recitation of the Buddha  and then see the Buddha. In  the Lotus Sutra we  also talk about  thebirth of the Pure Land  of Amitabha Buddha  .   

In many  Mahayana scriptures,  there are many passages  of  Amitabha Buddha  and  instructions for the birth of the Western Pure Land . The Pure Land sutras are  circulated  in the  human world  and in the commentaries written by the patriarchs in  India  before, there is little to mention the  Pure Land .     

The Bodhisattva  Long Thu  before the  Great Comment  and the  Hundreds of Tidus Sayings  .. there are many paragraphs recommend the  practice of  reciting the Buddha recitation .

In the letter of  Sun  Sa Sa   Na Han sent to the  king  of India in the South  India in the 1st century BC has the following phrase: "Born sick elderly  death three except the  Buddha  ,   Tri, bronze enlightenment  di Divine  master "(Except the  three  old sickness death, the realm of the Buddha's realm to the sub,  the longevity can  not  be  measured, equal to the  enlightened master Amitabha ) .     

Honored as the second  Thich Ca ,  Bodhisattva  Long Thu  has  a  very deep charm with  Pure Land Buddhism . The Blessed One  in the business of entering the  Tomb of the Elders  has once been  acclaimed : "In  the later life  there is a  bhikkhu  in  South Thien Truc  called  Long Thu , or  break free  -  reveal  the  teachings of  Mahayana  ,  Hyun , the  birth  of An Lac water. 

In contrast to the pre  -modern era  , there are some precepts in life that have  Pure Land Amitabha thought . As in  the Mahayana Credit ,  Ma Ming  wrote: "Should know that the  Tathagata  has  the means to win over the trusting sentient beings , that is to use  the coast to concentrate on the Buddha, The other, often seen Buddha,  permanently away from the  evil. "          

As it says, "If someone who is  dedicated to Amitabha Buddha  in  the WesternWorld of Ultimate Bliss , brings the  virtues of merit to  him, he will be  born again."      

The Maitreya Bodhisattva  is also a character of  the  prophetess professors have   very  deep charm  with  Pure Land . In the  Great Compassion  (Bi Hoa) there is a paragraph: "  North Thien Truc region Billion United Madam  ( Ma Minh)  practicing immeasurable dark  things  to beat the Bodhi ,  the common destiny of the   Western Pure Land Of the Buddha of  Infinity  Life. "      

After the  Thien  Than Bodhisattva, also known as the " Master Conjecture  ", before the act of "Life   Expectancy", referred to as "Birth of the child". In it, he praised   Amitabha Buddha  , prayed to all  sentient beings to reborn  the  Pure Land . In addition , the   later Tantra also attached importance to  the merits  of the  rebirth of the recitation mantra .   

As can be seen in  the  early days of  Mahayana Buddhism  ,  the Pure Land sutras  have been  handed down extensively , the  worshipers are  also very crowded. 

II. Four  Mahayana Buddhist systems  : 

The beginning  of  Mahayana Buddhism   is  influenced  by  Bat Nha thought . Bat Nha thought originated  from the  concept of  "natural  causation  " of the  Great Society .  

The great  proponents  of the idea of  " worldly dharmas  ,  worldly  beings  are pretended" to counter the  view of " Heaven , not of God "   should  launch the idea of  "No," which makes  The Dharma  has a   dramatic transformation,  reviving the Buddha  's  nirvana .   

After breaking the  law , standing on the  idea of  Bat Nha,  which  built  the  ideological systems  of  Mahayana Buddhism  , there  appeared  many  Mahayana sutras , which could  be divided  into four   major systems . These are: 1.  Bat Nha system ; 2.  French System ; 3.  Hoa Nghiem system ; 4.  PureSystem . These four  systems interwove each  other, supporting each other, eventually   taking  the Pure Land system as a gathering  place.     

 Bat Nha  is the basis   of  Mahayana Buddhism . Prajña's "No"   is not "No Air" and "No Air", but "Air Born Free". Not the pure negation of the dharmas should say "No", but that the dhamma  -conditioned  dharmakaya, which does not have the  entity  ( self ). Even in  the absence  of the  Prajna  has implicated the  idea "Diệu Hữu". 

 Huayan system  from a ground that promoted; From  the "Pure Land  of Dependent  Origination",  the  broad  implementation of  magical  ideas into  the real  world. " All the  legal world  is the  legal body of the  Visuddha  Buddha Price, the  legal status of pure peace  throughout  the world . Huayen Monk  of  Hoa Nghiem  reflects the  magic  of  the world of Tibet .  

The system of  the United States  represents the nostalgic nature  of  the Buddha, causing the  three monks to return to the Buddha . For example, the  Bodhisattvas  can  become a Buddha  , even the  disciples of the Brassicas ,  Bhikshu bhikkhus  ,   even the  animals  such as  Long Women  are registered  as Buddhas .       

The  Pure Land system  is meant  to address the problem of birth and death in thepresent life,  which forms  the vows  of the Buddhas and the Pure Land realms  . That is the  basic nostalgia  that the buddhas  born world birth .       

The  establishment of the  four  systems  is aimed  at the  degree of  sentient beings  are  the fruit of the  Buddha. Thus  the  Bat Nha system ,  the  Frenchsystem  and  the Hoa Nghiem system  have  specially  attached importance to the  thought of  "reciting the Buddha's name" and  asking for the birth of the Pure Land . 

The  Pure System ,  thanks to the  consistency  of the three  systems,  should be developed and  disseminated  widely. For example,  the  Bat Nha system attaches  importance to  the birth  of  the bodhisattva vow ,   which is  closely related to the 48  vows  of  Amitabha Buddha  emitted during the  Bodhisattva vows . Thus, the  thought of Bat Nha  helped support the  formation  of the great  benefactor Bodhisattva .   

In short : the  idea of  "volunteer force" of  Pure Land school , although the  birth of the birth , but  the theory  of  Bodhisattva behavior . 

With  the compassion   to wait until the  thought of Bat Nha ,  the United States was  formed to have the support  to force the establishment , again by  Huayenthought  that created a  special positive direction  (ten  vowels The  Bodhisattva Samantabhadas  are directed towards  the World of Ultimate Bliss ). Therefore, the  idea of  "relying on the  Buddha's power ,  reciting the Buddha's name in the Pure Land".     

III. Types  of  Pure  and  Choice

The  Pure Land Idea was circulated  in  the era of the Long Shu Bodhisattva , which can be divided into three categories: 1.  Pure Land  of the  Maitreya Bodhisattva ; 2.  Eastern Pure Land  Dieu Hy of the Buddha  ; 3.  Western Pure Land Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha  .    

1.  Pure Land of the  Bodhisattva Maitreya :

Maitreya Bodhisattva  is the  most born Bodhisattva  in  the world  .  He is currently in  the Institute of Indochina , the future will  appear  in  this world tobecome a Buddhist beings .   

In the "Maitreya Buddha", "Lower Maitreya" etc., to  explain  the  Maitreya Bodhisattva  birth  to  the world  ,  to  become a Buddha . For a  long time  when he was not  a Buddha , he was at  the  Institute  of Religious Education . That is the purification of heaven. 

In the "Buddhist Bodhisattva  Maitreya  Bodhisattva Heavenly Gifts "  introductory Pure Land Pure and so calmly recommend  that  everyone reincarnate Pure Land, taking the  title bodhisattva  is one of the  conditions  To  rebirth .         

The purpose of  the birth of the  Pure Land   is to be close to the  Bodhisattva Maitreya , the future will follow Him down to  this world  , assist Him  in transforming sentient beings  in  Longhua  to  build the Pure Land in this  world.   

The birth of the  Pure Land   is the  idea  of  primordial Buddhism  . This is also the basis of   the  Mahayana Pure Land Buddhist thought .  

2.  Eastern Pure Land   Dieu Hy A Buddha's  Animal :

The Pure Land of  the Buddha   is the  form of the Pure Land  of the Buddhas,  which appeared  in  the  early days of  Mahayana Buddhism . The  sutras  refer to the  birth of  the  Buddha's Kingdom  : "A Buddha Fairy Tale   " -  Chi Lau Song Thunder translation  of "  Like Lai Lai  " in the "Great  Bao  Kinh" -  Bodhi .   

In those suttas, they  explain  the Buddha 's  teachings , while at Bodhgaya Bodhisattva' s home ,   a  bhikkhu , in front of  the Buddha,  spells 39  great vows,  Buddha ,  built the Pure Land Pure Land  in the east.  

The realm of pure water  solemnly ,  merit immeasurable . The conditions for the birth  of water Magic Water is the  Sixth Degree of the Bodhisattva  of the  Bodhisattva  and  contemplation of Bat Nha Compassion  ,  combined  with  recitation of the holy name  of the Buddha.  

In fact, the  Pure Land of  the Buddha   is closely related   to the  PrajnaparamitaSutra, the   Sutra Sutra, etc. The Bát Nhã Sutra  appeared  in eastern  India , in the Sutra to the  Bodhisattva Siddhartha Gautama, The Prajnaparadhara  ( Divine Realms  of the Buddha   in the east).  

The  Bat Nha  consider the  greatness  of the  Bodhisattva , discussing the  territorial Pure Land , ie the  east  . In the book "A Animal of the Buddha" of  Duy Ma  has recorded: "There is water name Dieu Hy,  the Buddha's  name is  Animal ( A Animal ). That's where  Vimalakin  was born in this realm. "  

Saying again: "Then  Buddha  Shakyamuni  said to  the masses  : You should  observe  the world of  magic and immortal Tathagata  . The realm is  solemn. Pure Bodhisattva , disciples are clear ,   etc. If the  Bodhisattva  wants to be the Pure Land Buddha   like that should learn to  practice the practice  of Germany  Asspirit  ( A Horse ).    

This  proves that  the  Bat Nha  and  the Vimalakirti  are closely related  to the  Pure Land of  the Buddha  . Blessed Universal Universe  promotes  the birth  of water magic water and other  interpretation of the solemn purity  of  the Pure Land Pure Land .  

3.  Pure Land of  the Pure Land  of  Amitabha Buddha  :

 Pure  Amitabha Purebred thought  in  the early  Buddhist period  was conceived but had to wait until the  time when the  Bodhisattva  Bodhidharma  was  spread widely in  India  and the  West . The scriptures  on the  Pure Land  of Amitabha Buddha   are of three series: 1  Mahayana Vajra Sutra ; 2.  The Infinite Life Sutra ; 3.  Buddha Amitabha Buddha .  

In addition , the  sutras related to  Amitabha Pure Land   have hundreds of different sets. Amitabha Buddha,  for wanting to  escape  all  sentient beings , deserves the  commendation of  48  great vows ,  establishing the world of Ultimate Bliss of  the West  solemnly ,  enormously victorious  to  the  wide  hybrid. The Buddhahood of sentient beings reborn in the Pure Land .         

As mentioned above, the   three types of  PureLine  have certain  characteristics . In the process of  formation  and development, Amitabha Pure Land  was  absorbed  and  flourished , while  Pure Land and  Maitreya Pure Land graduallycame to an end . Cause  in it is  the subject of the theory  of  Pure Land to adapt to  the  basis of time  should be more people to  penetrate ,  study  and  practice . Here are two  issues  to  consider :         

- First: From the  solemn pure serenity  of  Pure Land  , we see the  Pure Land Animal  and  Pure Land  Maitreya , although also full of  newspapers ,  official newspapers  dignified  by the  great volunteer ,  the virtues  of the Buddha,  Bo Slap  that formed, but still see the trace of  the secular world is  not  entirelysuperior victory .   

For example, in two  Pure Land  where  there are  men and women  messy,  unhappy afflictions are  not easy to  subtle subtle  ignorance  is often  current. The West of the Pure Land in the world is a  cult of the  language, which is  ultimately  magical . The realm of that  world  is full of generals   like Amitabha Buddha is   no different, no general  male and female . 

Due to the  vigor  of the  Buddha  ,  the realm  and  the coast  of pure  so  that negativity is  not clean but can not  emit current . In the water realms that   will  gradually progress to suffering defilements , not  through  the life of another but still  achieve the  fruit of the Buddha.   

On the other hand, due to the  merit  of Amitabha Buddha  ,  the rebirth practitioners  also have "immeasurable amount of life,   immeasurable" as the Buddha is not different, full of intellectual  magic , even though  ordinary  but  still able  Use  as in the Buddha.     

For these things,  Maitreya Pure Land and A Pure Land are  not available . And even the realms of the  ten Buddhas  can not be obtained. This is an  important feature  of   Western Bliss .   

- Two: From  the  condition of rebirth  Pure Land  to  consider , we see  the conditions of birth  of  Maitreya Pure Land and  A Pure Land  is very high. The achievement of  "Consciousness concentration  " can be born to  Pure LandMaitreya ; Prajna practice is not consistent  and  the  new  palliative duopoly qualified  to birth to  Pure Land .     

It mainly  relies on  self-reliance , accumulation  of wages  without  the means of the  Buddha's power  . Therefore, only the higher grades  of  diligence diligently cultivate   new  hope for rebirth . For the  vast majority of sentient beings,  the lower middle  ground  is no different from the weak standing upright looking up the mountain, just  not possible  .      

The  conditions for the birth of Pure Land Pure Land  of  Amitabha  are  very simple and  appropriate.  Because  Amitabha Buddha  has the "Memorial of all vows" and "Lam jointly   vowed"  Imagine  just having Faith - Prayer -  Renunciation  is to be able to change the  birth .   

When   Amida Buddha  died  in  front of the conductor ,  the practitioner leisurely quietly  rebirth  the Buddha water. Amitabha Buddha  has  merit  that can not think like that, so the  ten different Buddhas , the other mouth together with the  praises of praise and praise , advise  sentient beings to create faith in the Pure Land . Therefore, "Thousands of grandissages of wisdom along the way of the  Pure Land , the ancient  holy  Hien are all  trends in  Pure Land".        

The  Western Pure Land  was formed in  India  first and then  spread  to  China ,  Vietnam  and  developed brightly , until today. 

It can be said that  Amitabha Pure Land inherited the thought of Mahayana Buddhism  in  India , crystallized the  Bi- Tri- spiritual  spirit  of the two  Buddhas ,  Shakyamuni  and  Amitabha ,  The Buddhas .END=NAM MO CAKYA MOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.12/3/2017.
