WORLD MILITARY
 

After regulation - then the Triple Gem, lay people must live according to the rule that the Buddha made it to move forward on the Path. The rule is that the Five. Buddhist followers to live according to Tam rules, five precepts, can not only lead the eighth provided without the Five. Who found refuge center has stepped up security as liberating ladder, but otherwise keep the five precepts is just the first step a step and stopped, unable to liberation really are.

Five world not only put forward the strongest on the path of liberation, but also happily bring order, peace to the family, nation, society. The five precepts are precepts surely create happiness for individuals and groups, is our mentor prevent wrongdoing. Therefore, Shakyamuni Buddha had words before his cell teachers entered Nirvana:

"After my passing, people have revered religious precepts as their teacher; It was in this world of oil to teach you a few thousand generations to go again, we will not add any thing outside the law "

Buddha's precepts devised it so much, because the need to apply to a broad range of practitioners: Pi ballroom, dancing monk and nuns, novice, novice nuns, Particularly for laypeople in the world, only that blow. But if he holds five world benefits for himself and for the unspeakable.

1. Definition: 
The five precepts are five commandments that He made it, and to prevent the memorial evil, speak no good, nefarious actions. Five commandments are: Do not kill, do not steal, do not commit adultery, not to lie, not to drink wine.

Y this year just on compassion, equality, in terms of an end except for personal sin and bring orderly, peaceful society that founded. Buddha is not compulsory we have adhered to, nor threatened if we do not obey Him, they shall be punished. The morality is entirely due to our own decisions. Buddhism differs from other religions is the point the Buddha was not a judge of the Supreme reserves the right to award a penalty. A thought, a word, good or bad a key action has brought with it a germ payoff already. Buddha is the teacher-guided very compassionate and very wise: He showed us the way is the light and the road is dangerous path should not go.

But if we do not follow the path that morning wanted to go into harm's way, then of course we'll probably true recipe for disaster, but Buddha did not create disasters to punish us. Court is the law of causality. We do evil, we are bad results; we do good, we get good results. Five years was the stronghold world stop for us not stray into the evil way, is five fences prevent us from falling into the abyss, while we're on the road to liberation.

 

MALE

I. First: Do not be killed.

 
The first commandment prohibits the Buddha advised us not to kill life, from humans to animals. Valuable life most precious human life that is; kill the other life to this bowl lives compensation is an evil, irrational religion.
 

Buddhism prohibits killing by several reasons:

Asian. Adhering to the fair:

We all consider ourselves as your life, as a absolute treasure. If someone is hurt your attempt to fight back to protect their lives radically. You have to appreciate his life, why he wants to trample human life? To generalize, the animals also appreciate our network. Such as a cow or a pig about to hit your head, cut more, we see strong resistance, the extreme trauma of them with the cry, those agonies. In justice, what we do not want anyone to make us suffer, we do not make other people or other animals to suffer. Buddha said, "Everyone feared the sword, everyone was afraid of death. So his soul with heart failure, not to kill, not to kill! ".

b. Respect Buddha equality:

Beings each species but different body, but at the same a Buddha nature. Buddha nature was equally impossible to institute a reason people say that Buddha nature in more valuable in animals, in this class, skin color, the more valuable in the other class, the other skin color. Murder is murder creature Buddha nature.

c. Nurturing compassion:

Buddha considered as human beings should he not agree to kill organisms disciples in any circumstances. Because life is killing center is already flourishing cruelty, compassion muffled. Gratuitous heartless killing an animal, no less violent killing an evil person. Heartless as to others or other material to flap, groaning, writhing in their blood, in practice breath hot before finally killing her compassion, is strangling the precious love sprouts in our hearts. How difficult to study to become a primary outcome was. Confucius said: "Van periods, indignant really humiliating period, is the period of birth, is impatient character '. (Listen to the cry of the animals could not bear to eat it, see it live, had not seen it die). Thus, people with compassion and kindness are not the heart to kill people or animals.

d. Avoid causal retributive hatred:

When we kill a person or an animal, their resentment edgy, hard extinguished. So try them for herself, because our weakness should be killed. Meanwhile, they are sick of hatred block, waiting for a chance to avenge, or children, their relatives will avenge it. And every day we are sowing hatred for humans and animals, long-term cumulative volume was louder injustice in our power, as long as it was going to be killed again. The more karma police, threw himself into the ring as suffering. Buddha said: "Often students murdered heart, as industrial growth line, revolve in samsara forever, no days off" (Shurangama old).

 

Benefits of not killing

 
For these reasons, the Buddha forbid killing Buddhists. Not murder, will have the following benefits:
 

Asian. In terms of individuals:

A ruthless murderer who do not, bad things, not cruel to shed blood, not snake leather, butchering, beheading, gouging ..., then the picture is not guilty regrets heart, body and mind are gentle, relaxed, sleep was peaceful, gentle face was, in the morning.

b. In terms of society:

If all human beings in this world are the first law holds true of Buddhism, the war will not be that the birth and death now also been freed. So ancient words To teach:

Beings necessarily very close now
 

Ha parish cross the Legionaries?

Sale Sale, friendly fellow households households,

Galaxy galaxy grief any peace?

Mean:

Now all beings not kill

Ten that has emerged to war?

Every home, every place all charities,

People will worry no peace?

Limitations:  Still know killing is to create human suffering, but also lay people eat salty, and do other work and that, it is difficult to avoid police transgression. here is not compulsory we must thoroughly, just keep the important part is not to kill people and large animals such as cattle, horses, dogs, pigs and goats. And small animals, if they avoid killing how many you much. We should go more slowly then definitely. One must not kill an animal in vain, like kill kill for satisfaction.
 

While the police precept, we should be wary of the following two things:

Asian. Do not let malicious arise:

Big kill an animal because accidentally or in self-defense, then the effect of the lighter it is killing an ant with a worm wants to kill for fun malicious hands.

b. Avoid decorations set in the context of the killing:

The child was 5, up 3 Courtyard met dragonflies, butterflies and interrupts the first capture, ripped off ... if parents find without reproach; 12, 13, they net fishing site shopping birding, fishing; 20, 25, we cut more pork, kill dogs ... still uninhibited, then later used to the violence, in anger, we can blooded murder. So not only are we not free for children to get used to the killing creatures, and not to give them firsthand look at the scenes of killing in the theater or in the midst of everyday life.

II. Second Precept: Not to be thieves.

Everyone knows that thieves are taking the proprietary material of another person without consent, or forcing people to consent by force or authority. Valuables such as buildings, farms, money, jewels, so humble materials like leaf vegetables, chillies etc. for which people do not deliberately get themselves are thieves and robbers.

Robber takes many forms: Use power, factions of people killed across the robbery; How reliable power to take money dependence of the weak is robbery; caught dead while needy people to usury, poultry sold at a low price is robbery; speculative hoarding to sell on the black market is robbery. Using a ruse, stalking, surreptitiously taken of the theft; small balance, swung lack evasion gallery, contraband, is the one that does not return as well as theft. We can say one sentence summary is: any kind, so please take the time to participate from a nefarious way are thieves and robbers both.

If for needy poor, the sick wife, sick, rice shortage, lack of drugs, should have forced cunning, the offense also looked before but was rich, eat sung happy, the car off the horse, but also deceive people his goods, robbing the royal to live on the sweat of the poor hungry tears, the crime is heavy.
 

For whatever reason the Buddha forbid robbers? Buddha prohibited thieves because of the following reasons:

Asian. Adhering to the fair:

We do not want anyone to take her why stared want his disposal? Personal ownership of me, I respect, then why are we again trample on people's property rights? Doing so is contrary to justice. A society without justice can not survive long-term.

b. Respect for equality:

Everyone has Buddha nature alike, why we would want others to torment us be happy? Why do we want to enjoy the privilege of illicit while also just a man like any other man?

c. Nurturing compassion:

Once unintentionally lose something or some money, we sorrow, loss of appetite, restless sleep so why could we get people's attention so that people have to suffer because of my crying? It is often said: "Money is the lifeblood resources". Thus the person who robbed plundered ie blood people, so killing human life. Only those who have no compassion, conscience agree to take new dark do things like that. As for me, was a Buddhist, is trying to nurture compassion, we can not someone be thieves.

d. Avoid karmic revenge:

In an organized society, respect for justice, the crime of thieves always punished. Stealing the court was given a misdemeanor, the court robbery Crown. When not caught, thieves have to find hundreds of thousands of design methods to evade, live fit in the dark. When caught, thieves have bound, tortured, imprisoned. I've had body parts suffering wear and position, but his family, his parents, wife and children also sad, ashamed and lost all hope in the future.

But if the law does not punish the world, the thieves did not escape the karmic law of cause and effect. Thieves from thieves who will be back, how animosity caused suffering. Buddha says:

"The excellent financial attachment refused to leave and a little nostalgic baby stick on the mesh density knife, tongue dues, have been painting off the tongue (Beijing Four Twelve Chapter).

Therefore, because of the money involved, people who really throw myself into the imprisonment itself, into hell. Let us listen to verse wake of King Tran Thai Tong:

 
Standard flange carved through walls any pension 

department Thien board design, players suffering honor

Kim was born tha prime character requirements,

Suddenly receptor general bias ox code

 

Translate:

Training expenditure broken into the wall where,

Staff involved hundreds of thousands of bridges designed beds

Oil's life is now,

Other life buffalo horse lives always.

For these reasons, the Buddha forbid disciples do not steal.
 

The benefit of not thieves.

Asian. In terms of individuals:

Spaceman take the present life is peaceful, not imprisonment, jail, where to go and get people to trust, corruption entrusted to him important positions. Spaceman take it away after enjoying rewarded wealth, joy, and descendants also inherited by generations of grandparents happy balance, which is glorified parents.

 

b. In terms of mass:

If one day no one in society take center space, the house, the robbers did not need to close, not wealth preservation, animals dropped not lost, it's nothing happier! It's hard because there is no, but there are many who still suffer, because right about keeping. Ie who do not steal silently give others the peace then.

Confucian saying: "Human hazelnuts tossed communication means, material means any non-revenue". How much more we are Buddhists or what went robbers?

III. Third World: Do not commit adultery.

Ie adultery want to talk about non-sexual immorality ceremony, illegal. Law teaches glass home people would continue to lewd burners, and the house will not be sexual misconduct. When the couple had wedding ceremony called main enough; in addition, working surreptitiously illegal promiscuity called Ta. But if the couple officially again that eating is not the place, not close to each other, it also belongs to the extent that both adultery. That is to say in terms of crude. To put it more delicately, then the distractions wrecked flesh color, thinking unjust, hang flirting, also belong to the type of sexual misconduct.

Buddhism prohibits adultery because of following reasons:

Asian. Adhering to the fair:

Everybody wants his family warm, peaceful and happy, his wife and children virtuous, why go destroy reinforced concrete scandalous subject people, put people on a path wife licentious.

b. Protect happy family:

Nothing painful, darker when in a family where the husband or wife has private womb, adultery. Where happiness even when the husband and wife do not trust each other? When a family into that situation, the child will sleazy, shame, self-indulgent, orphaned, her children not to go unheard, it shattered career, decry neighbors, honor tarnished. Conditions essential to maintain family happiness is fidelity of the couple. People often say, "Thuan wife upon her husband, also slapped an empty East". Since the sexual misconduct of one of the two friends of the family line which usually occurs the jealousy, quarrels beaten sometimes leads to murder. Sometimes to revenge, people often see happening scene "He ate fried, she ate nem". A husband and wife to mind human eyeing their wives and children, the main bar also poised to house fence and others. They break the family happy the happy family before they disintegrate. So adultery ban is a necessary condition for building happiness for his family and his family.

c. Avoid hatred and evil retribution:

Buddha said: "The heart craving hug as torchbearers who go against the wind, they will be hand-fires" (Beijing Four Twelve Chapter). Indeed, people with bad heart lust passion decision sooner or later will be harmed, the dehydration is insoluble broken leg also killed by a gun, a sword. Back then, the dark catastrophic results due to the passion of lust caused no shortage, we just lifting the husband or the pages of history will find daily newspapers abound in each article, each section.

In the animosity, hatred does not have the intensity of the hatred caused by deceit or betrayed the cause of love and desire. The daily murder, largely as a result of sexual misconduct.

Benefits of the no adultery

Keep precepts adultery would have the following benefits:

Asian. In terms of individuals:

Kinh Thien Cross said: "The dry earth mị misconduct shall enjoy the following four benefits:

- Six apartments (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind) are integrity.

- Lifetime is respected.

- The minus all the annoying corollary harassment.

- The lifetime of love no one dared to infringe.

b. In terms of mass:

In a society where sexual misconduct nor the family in peace and happiness, the moral defeat of the often will dissipate, specific scenes hostility, bloodshed does not happen again; children are healthy care, pampering, prosperous society.

In short, Mrs. Sa impure realms, this suffering, the world will turn into pure, joyful.

IV. World No. 4. Do not say untrue.

 
Speaking untrue 4 ways: Lying, romance, said two-way blade, say cruel.
 

Asian. Lie (or lie)  is not true to say, things have said no, do not say yes; to say the contrary, said that contrary to; heard something unheard of, something not heard heard; or fake in front of praise, criticism behind; or if preferred, it smells sweet, bitter as the bitter hate. In brief thoughts, speech before the next job conflicts, various more or less outside the inconsistencies lie belongs to all.  
 

b. Speaking embellishing:  is the much less speak out for the audience well-hatred; polished words, up slightly down for the smooth velvety voice to lure the listener, making shipwreck enthusiasts infection; also when the said caricatures, said magnet, said injection makes the listener struggling. In short how many words are not literally true, more or less, until glossy frivolous literature makes guys listen to psychosis, born afflictions are all called to say fabrications.
 

c. Said two-way blade:  or colloquial rather than "shock attacks two head" means to place it on the sides with this party to defame the other party, the other party shall have been partakers of his party to slander this side, making are close friends back against each other, meaning those who oppose peace, hatred together.

d. Say brutality:  that say vulgar language, gruff, insult, make people listen to suffering, sadness, fear.

Why Buddha said banning false? Buddha said banning false for the following reasons:

Asian. Respect for the truth:

Religion Buddhism is realistic; Buddhist practitioners must respect the truth. Acquaintance with lies, do not know how to find the truth, it can hardly be attained. We live in hope, the main task of the practice is to try to destroy his illusion to see the material; failure to do so could instead compounded the delusion that with the lies fooled again, then it is extremely immoral.

b. Nurturing compassion:

What the main driver of lies is selfishness, evil, bad people want to satisfied his dark desires. Deceived people, deceiving themselves have suffered, sometimes have specific questions kingdom resentment, sometimes spreading to bankrupt. The practice which is already approved to do so to take conscience, has smothered the love in their hearts already. Once no more compassion, that is the main motivation was lost, then the practice is only a false, deceptive people and of course never have good results.

c. Faithfulness conservation in society:

In a family, a community, a society in which no one believed someone, everything from small to large are a failure. Confucianism, Confucius has taught: one of the five fundamental virtues are faith: "By no established private estate." Happy family and society can not get in deceit, suspicion, jealousy.

d. Avoid suffering retribution:

Words but not the sword, but it is more dangerous than the sword because it has two pronged, a nose hit others and a nose hit the person using it. Everyone surely has not forgotten story shepherd boy tried to deceive neighbors by yelling "Fire! Fire! "But it's just to fool people once; the next time you fire the truth, though he cried bitterly and no one wants to cure again. Well, who lie just cause for his painting, so the Buddha said: "In line border officers behave in central government, the reason beheaded body language so bad period," that is: Every man in the world, spread a sharp blade is available in the mouth, cutting her the reason is because evil words. Has had to say cockroaches said glass is distorted to harm people, but you've hurt people, hurt again how people also. "Evil evil hybrid" is that. To avoid hatred, prevent data now, we should not lie, exaggerating.

The benefit of not lie.

Asian. In terms of individuals:

Was honored for, reliable, not plaintively ethnical hatred; where to go and get those around you for an emotional confidant, warm welcome. In the business professional, honest and more clients entrusted to many precious responsibility.

b. In terms of mass:

Families and society are united in trust. All of the common good promotion results. Loving humanity, understanding each other better.

Limitations:  Lying is a great tragedy for themselves and society. However, there are a few cases should lie. That's when out of compassion, but to lie to save people or animals. Lie guilty in the case by greed, hatred and delusion as motivation. Conversely, if by promoting compassion that lie is not a crime.

V. About 5th: Do not drink

All things that the enzyme or other intoxicating substances are not toxic person tubes. Not have had to drink his own but other people are also not forced to drink, urged him to encourage others to drink, the more severe the crime himself drinking again. Now ill, fresh drinking these drugs, Herbalist to use alcohol 'blend into the temporary use drugs. But before taking them to Increase Transparency to know. When all patients, continued oral medication may not have peace anymore alcohol.

For these reasons the Buddha forbid alcohol? Buddha banning alcohol because of the following reasons:

Asian. To preserve the intellectual seeds:

Alcohol is more dangerous than poison. I drink a cup of poison to die soon, but only one body dies but alcohol current losing intellectual seed must die relive countless lives. Therefore, in order to preserve valuable intellectual seeds, Buddha banning alcohol.

 

b. Prevent birth causes sin:

Alcohol itself is not a sin as killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, but it can make people give birth to other sins. When drunk alcohol in the offense can also be committed. Here's a story to prove it.

The other a farmer plowing between copper, suddenly found out their horns in front of a huge teenagers, threatened to kill him peculiar. He terrified, weeping plead for his life. Area newspapers teenagers:

- If people do one of three things, then we spared her life: either kill your father or your mother is beaten or drank liters of wine on the table for your house.

British farmers pondered briefly and then answered:

- Would you give me to drink another liter of wine.

Teenagers listening to me, seems satisfied and disappeared.

At noon that day, the farmer back home, see where the father bought liters of wine on the table prepared to entertain them, because the upcoming anniversary, he hastily grabbed, initiates a bit shallow. His father noticed his son sassy, ​​holding sticks stormed back to beat scolded child. Ma ceramic impregnated, he did not know right from wrong, the father snatched sticks, fought back an instant death. The mother ran to hug me screaming, his mother is not eh anger hit the dust bag. Vegetarian villages arrested him for murder led to the father or mother.

He regained consciousness knows drinking is the most serious crime in which three teenagers were forced him to do.

GENERAL CONCLUSION
 

1. The Buddhists do not observe the precepts are not Buddhists.

We have seen the benefits of practical use in the world in terms of individuals and groups. If Tam provided the foundation of the Five Precepts are ladder to lay down steps to Buddhahood. In the first step, if possible Buddhists vow to keep the five precepts, the better; if so many can not be bound by men hold all the world that can hold his few practice can be seen as: do not drink, do not lie. Then, with the diligent and brave Bodhicitta, I vow to continue to keep the world more like do not steal, do not commit adultery ... But did vow to keep the world does that have to keep for permanent world, not one step forward, two steps retreating, always use such interminable never go nowhere.

If Buddhists do not keep the world, why Buddhists call? Ordinary people, not Buddhists but also can hold true as such do not drink, do not steal, let alone forgive Buddhists? We come into Buddhism is because I want to rise above the mediocrity of the human life. If we are on Religion and still continue the old floating life, or even worse than the life of the human often, it is that we want to tarnish the Act rather than admiration Act. So Buddhists should try to keep the world to deserve its own name, to bring happiness to yourself and to sentient beings.

 

2. The non-Buddhist should also keep world.

The five precepts above nothing is sublime, mysterious. That is a lesson that ordinary citizens of any society, a country that wants prosperity, the mighty can not be overlooked. So 5 that not only rules applicable to Buddhists but also for all those who want to live a healthy life, happily, there is meaning and progress ceremony.

A society in which all of the elements are done five precepts that, then that is an exemplary society, equitable, civilized and prosperous world. 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.14/3/2017.
