UNDERSTANDING OF TINH CONGREGATION.

 

The Buddha's teaching in the Bodhisattva Avalanche: "Sluggishness has terrible consequences. If people in life that sluggish not enough food, clothes are not enough to wear, property industry does not grow. If the merchandising business that lazy can not get out of the birth of birth and death. So know that all the good results arise from diligence. "

So what is diligence? Tinh tinh is specialized, homogeneous, not mixed; Tons is going to not go back.

Effort is to always concentrate unanimously, trying not to stop to a purpose full, good, bright, happy. In the usual sense, effort means diligence, diligence. But in essence, diligence means diligence, diligence to achieve a true good purpose, not diligent diligence in the purpose of not nice, narrow, selfish. For example, the millionaire takes care of getting rich, in order to earn more for himself, so he is not called the righteous man; The boy is in love, devotedly to do the earthquake to be loved by the lovers, so not the main effort; Gambler, who sat for several days and nights, though his back was tired, his head was heavy but he tried to hit a few more boards, so it was not called the main effort. All these examples are called "evil effort".

In the Buddhist doctrine of diligence are often in the categories such as: 01 mental states in 51 mental states; The four quintessence, the four main need, five power, Five power, Holy holy (Bodhi Section), the Noble Path, "the 37th assistant ...;

Thus, diligence is necessary not only for the cultivator but also for the people in the professions, agriculture, industry, trade. A student who is not diligent and hard-working does not have the knowledge or the level of knowledge that leads to difficulties in life, further contributing to social evils; A farmer who is not hard-working, diligent in cultivating, sowing good seed, caring for, fertilizing, regularly plowing, watering, etc., will have no crop to harvest; An unemployed, industrious worker will not have enough food, clothing that will lead to job loss and long-term unemployment in the face of social evils; A trader does not have to go out, go there to learn, do not find difficult to find policies, business strategies, ... easily lead to bankruptcy. Likewise for a practitioner who practices dharma to be lazy, it will be insecure. Because, one who develops the mind of the Buddha is to be free from samsara or at least from the four paths of evil (hell, hell, hungry ghost, animal). Want to liberate, must be diligent except for greed. However, diligence here must be understood to mean that it is not austerity, because it is harmful, it does not lead to enmity, lucidity, enlightenment, and nirvana. Such selflessness leads only to the end of life, not to the end of affliction, the liberation of life and death as in the case of Prince Siddhartha and the five brothers of Kieu Tran. Ascetic 6 years in the forest only wasted and not bring good results as desired. On the other hand we must diligently eliminate the defilements by generally controlling the three karmas in six generations. Early in the evening, from morning to noon, from noon to noon, from evening to evening, from evening until morning, until one hour an hour, one recite one moment, one must control three karmas. Initially practicing control in a day and night yogic artifacts how much good kamma, three unwholesome kamma. Then gradually gradually control not to create the unwholesome karma by the Buddha's teachings such as the Four Mindfulness Meditations, the Dependent Origination, the Consciousness of the Three Negative Pathways, etc. The practice of control As well as the methods to remove the negativity must be applied daily in the work, elaborate time, in the posture, standing, lying, sitting. To be called diligent. Just as a rice grower in addition to plowing, sowing, watering, fertilizing, ... to regularly clean the grass, the new rice grows and the seeds are good. Grass is here as negativity, often clean grass means to regularly clean up defilements in the mind of each practitioner.

In short, the cultivator is not as diligent as one who wants to cross the tank without a boat. Therefore, it is necessary to be diligent, because diligence is a strong motive for us to move quickly on the good way. No diligence whether the practitioners have how much wisdom, virtue how much virtue, he also can not do anything for his benefit, for society. Therefore, the last word of the Buddha before the disciples before he from the deceased to enter the nirvana is:
