We crossed the narrow mountains to the south into the jungle , desolate as the desert, with the life of cooking in the heart. This scene is like ball soup cool forest that formerly the Venerable initiates many have echoed the chant scriptures in collective Theragatha noble, Therigatha. This whole land of Bihar is a cyan, things are seething with sap, a need for urgency , a pandemic, seasonal grain polished rice fields, crawling insects kindled country and children. All things are transient , first of all with poverty , A great poverty . Rain scene turned the desolate barrenness of the field become the ripples sea green rice, but the furrows soaked with tears of those who sorrow miserable. Often years of terrible floods,followed by horrific epidemics . We went through many villages stirred people and people. The villagers of Bihar have a small, bony body; Most of the lack of food, and the excess of the weather is traumatic in people's faces .

Across the Neranjara River, rising rain makes the river wide and wide. Afternoon out , brilliant colors, separated by hills around dark gray slim of origin Brahmayoni. Gaya is a muddy mud and dark brown brick; What is the temple Islam , is filthy swamps fragrance leakage episodes soar, clouds of smoke billowing insurgents from cow dung fire. How describe the noisy bustle of the whistle factory, the bell rings, the radio yelling, boastful flattery, whining , both a mixed set, kindled crawling, overflowing, seething those categories, Trust and class , hatred , complacency, madness ,
The path to Bodh Gaya runs along the Ni-inter-Zen river. As we approach the shrine , the security increases. A cool breeze gliding across the river. The Pipal forests are deserted , enhancing harmony, tranquility. The whole region seems to have not lost sight of the silent beauty of ancient times , the silent scene that the monks of the past favorite . Up to now the noise of the Buddhagaya village has not been able to make the pure road to the Bodhi tree .
Early in the morning with us there is more virtue Sukitti, the Thai people in Bodh Gaya . We went and towards the mountain Dungsiri ( Austerity forestry ). We also practice some gentle asceticism in order to deepen the feelings of flexibility we receive on the road. Wading across the Ni-inter-Zen river, is the first challenge . The river is deep and the water is strong. Wet clothes tattered . Sometimes we are washed away by the water. Passing through the river, during the rain, is a bit of a hardship for us , Mostly, the Ven. Minh Chau is the lowest. Through the fields and villages, sometimes we have to cross the muddy mud , the creeks sprinkled with cool water. Villages and road turn left behind.Climbing ramps stand and high. Large rocks scattered everywhere. The serpentine mountains, smooth stones arerepresentative of a passionate, sincere spirit , determined on the path of virtue : "Do not be discouraged , go ahead!" Amonk and Tibetan poet always wears a robe. Sir Milarepa, sing that: Through the fields and villages, sometimes we haveto cross the muddy mud , the creeks sprinkled with cool water.

"On the mountain road made of stone, which can place a trade the reincarnation chaos with happiness pure boundless".
Mountain slope, a small Tibetan pagoda hangs like a swallow's nest. The three lama, who are of the virtue- keepingvirtue , are touching some details for a spiritual examination. The whole Tibetan temple with flags with gold inscriptions, tapestries of Om Mani Padme Hum . Yellow roofs, fires scouring white lime to burn incense , full of air , liberation , pleasure. In front of the porch, there is a cushion for sitting meditation ; And in front of the fresh carnations bloom; It was Bodhisattva who practiced asceticism in this place.
We crawled into a fairly large cave, where the Buddha took refuge while practicing asceticism . This cave has now turned into a Tibetan- style chapel that adds to the beauty of the serene landscape of the mountains . Voices chanting full director status and rhythm of the Venerable Vietnam caused me a joy emotional purity . A Zen master extremists can explore churches and chanting is a reasonable distance?
However, the Bodhisattva has abandoned this ascetic cave .
"It is long accustomed visualization methods unborn , no kill, no resident , I forget all the definition of the purpose or purposes of others. It is long accustomed visualize the material is legal body , I forget all the I have been so used to thinking of the unconditioned branches of liberation , I forgot all the usual customary means of living. Pride and pride over the great heroes (Milarepa: Jetsun Khbun) "... and he slowly advanced to the Bodhi tree.
The Buddha's recitation of the sutra under the Bodhi root is a sacred memory of me. How many times the Buddha is just a gesture , a procedure , an emotional habits, and oil have significant expression of frustrating things enlightenment does not exceed the level ... Worshiping Buddha under the Bodhi tree, And the new candles are lit again and again: theSri Lankan incense smoke covers the entire stupa, thousands of oil lamps are in harmony with the light of the electriclamps that the Venerable , Venerable Vietnam would like to pray for Vietnamese Buddhism to be revived quickly, making the whole of the holy city brilliant and happy . The lively voice of the lamas promotes spirituality . Dictionarychanting Thai also similar .

"Mediocre down like a soft structure, excited by the spring breeze." The Buddha must always be new, fresh, stimulating , exhilarating, free beyond idealism and materialism . Buddhist ceremony with meaning most noble is a collaboration between the intellectual and media , an issue to endurance to go to the other side , a controlling and meditate continuously , an exact science And an artist intuition , and finally was overcome all. Let us sit down under the mostspecial tree of all the trees; then Kim Cang court, examination of the church tower Ma-ha Bodhi , a statue of Buddha Shakyamuni gilded with smile liberation , no reverence , no rituals , no compliments in vain .

A new day. We go south, under huge rows of trees, along the ni-inter-med river. Across the river, Dungsiri dim fog of dawn, like Dynamic Plot paint , place of meditation reputation of the monks Zen Song Dynasty, the Tran. We walked through the fields even dew, and then a small pond here full of green duckweed, signaling for us to know has to mucalinda lake.Here, the word Tu , when it rained heavily rain, has overcome the seven meditations as the snake spirit wrapped around him. Heaven is on, it is poetic and refreshing, this morning fresh and warm: "
We wade through the river and arrive at Enlightenment resting at Sujata Restaurant. A mound of earth may have a spire below - which is considered to be Sujata's former rancher who gave milk to Shakyamuni when he returned from the dungeon .
In the afternoon we visited a small Chinese temple of the Pure Land school. You nun old and courage has welcomed us very warmly. He has lived here for so long, patient, humble, faithful and loving . Silence is moving!
Nearby is a Geluppas Tibetan temple , commonly known as the "golden hat". There have been many books on this "secret land," most of which are distorted , obscured, looking at the mystery and agitation of mysticism . While refugees from Tibet through India and now also still the last person, then dispatched Vajrayama ( Vajrayana ) crab Nalanda in the era PALA renaissance back under media Tibet . We get a chance Luckily learn about Lama teachings . The TibetanBuddhist Temple in Bodh Gaya has a giant Dharma wheel . The murals, around, the oil for a whole new ... seems to belong to a different world. The sense of excitement is increased, as we climb up the stairs and enter the shrine. Initially it was a feeling confused , perplexed . Optoelectronics Buddha looked like a pitcher motor drive clutter of photographs , paintings and items peculiar. But when sitting quietly for a while, gradually new recognize that a system of spiritual specially conditioned. The most important tankha is the wheel of samsara . The brilliant colors do not dazzle, and drawings follow a thorough traditional system of detail in every detail to achieve the desired results . The complexity of the figure symbolizes for trouble intricacy of life reincarnation ; The path to liberation and the sermon,
Inside a wheel axle is a chicken, a snake and a pig symbolizing greed, hatred and delusion. This animal bites the other tail and forms an endless circle . The circle around the axle is divided into two parts, black and white, representing Karma or karma, the upper part , bringing to heaven , good direction : Partial down , put down to hell , evil . Those who create the good deeds will be included in the upper white section, while the creators of the evil karma will be placed in the black section below. The cavity between the black and white parts and the rim of the wheel is divided into six sections. The upper, middle (mentioned) expresses the happy realms , the pure of the brilliant gods ; left side realms of gods is world humanity of us ; On the right hand side are the images of the fierce Asanas , trying to destroy the angels . Three sections in the lower part between us scenes of torture terrible in hell one side is red flame, a swirl inside is horrible ; On the right hand are the ghosts , with very small throats; The left side describes the world of suffering of animals .
Rim divided into 12 compartments expression of Origination ; a blind woman show Ignorance (Ignorance); A potter is stuffing clay for Sankhàra, a gibbon holding a pots for Vinnàna: the nama is in a boat: a house with six doors The window is the sixfold (Sàlàyàtana); A pair of girls hugging each other just for contact (Phasso); Vedana is a person who draws the arrow into the eye: a constant alcoholic , pointed to the Tanha; Player (Upadana) is a monkey picking fruit; an image the harlot's birth (jati); (Jarà) is a man with a stick; Death (Maranam) are some people are carrying death, It also indicates the continuation of life that leads to another life .

Many paintings (Tankhas) covered the walls with the Devil horrific, bloodthirsty, dull with laughter horrible , mocked and demons, even the finding religion liberation fervently used the paintings center The universe ; For these monks the ego is just as stupid as the ghost . Both subconsciousness is a vast body of puzzled. Both subconscious is an entity vast incomprehensible, yet to be discovered , dangerous. Entity is becoming conscious being affected . The Tankhas is the formula psychology to meditation visualization , a means for cognitive realization and control of the infuriating outbreak of libido . The other Tankhas represent the figure, symbolizing Prajnaparamita, who is dancing the wisdom sword , cutting off ignorance , an intellect that leads to the other shore . In the middle of the shrine is the image strips Compassion Maitreya (Maitreya), is offering the Haddakhi (the white scarf),
Is the weakness of the Mahayana Kim Cang contrast with the teachings of the Theravada that the morning and evening of the great Thai virtues have recited in Pali express the selflessness of the five aggregates? It is in the Thai temple also resounded the verses of the 12 factors , the expression of the nature of things .
At the last night of Bodhidharma , at the Great Bodhi Tower, near the stone pillars, where the Buddha walked , we greeted an old lama with a very intelligent expression . This gentleman came to us and we learned how to greet Tibetan monks ; This person confronts the other person. The lama emanates such a warm affection that we feel that we and them have been good friends for a long time , although they met for the first time, A minute ago The Rimpotche continued to walk ; once again we think the architecture of the tower, the Great Bodhi ; This architecture has shown the sap of enlightenment . Inside there are many worship and statues . The dome bridges in stone with simple lines express the influence of the Hinayana . Here two monks are sitting meditation pure meditation . Yonder're Lama Rimpotche Tibet of us and a Thai Venerable old, Cute , was walking on the long, long road from Thailand to India, with only a bowl to live without touching a coin .

We started going to Balaam complaints but we can not forget the Bodhi Path-colon, a symbolic excitement of the enlightened supreme , a call for all Buddhists unity, and More a bodhisattva vow . Parallel with the Bodhi Tree is the smile of the golden Buddha statue .
Historical section
For Buddhists , the history of Bodhi lanterns began when Prince Siddhartha practiced asceticism in Uruvela and after the Buddha attained Dharma under the Bodhi Tree . All Buddhists in the natural world view Bodhi Bodhisattva as the most important achievement. And so for over 2,500 years, Buddhists all over the world have come to repent and repair Bodhidharma , even today.
Main Ashoka also to admire this place many times, and the worship of Him carved into stone monuments, is still kept at Sanchi. Very likely Ashoka created this tower but unfortunately lack of inscriptions to witness true . Perhaps because the emperors later erected the tower to commemorate, as the industry of Asoka was forgotten. And it is also possible that the tower, the tower was destroyed by King Sasanka. This king is very hostile to Buddhism .
To understand the history of Bodhidharma , it is necessary to find the documents of Phap Hien and Phra Huyen Trang . Based on the documents that we may assume that tower now being established around the second century AD calendar.
He Fa Hsien visited Bodhi ashrams in 409 AD, wrote: "At the Buddha attained enlightenment has 3 towers and many monks practice . Family people around donations of food , clothing, Very full, no lack of anything. The monks keep the rules very solemn bar . (James Legge's Fa-hsien page 89, 90).
He Xuanzang worship Bodhi ashrams in 637, wrote that eastward Bodhi tree , a tower height of 52 meters, background towers of 20 meters square, brick wall blue, putty lime cycle male: the examination subjects Each floor is yellow. Four walls are full of beautiful sculptures; This place is a picture of the long string of beads , there are fairies. The tower is a gold-plated Amlak. On the east side, there is a three storeyed building and porches, pillars and pillars with large doors and windows that are decorated with gold or silver imagery, ivory pearls and holes. The dim rooms and secret corridors all have doors that open into the upper floors. Toward the left and are subject virtue Bodhisattva of the sound and the statue of Bodhisattva Maitreya . But the statue was silver and three feet high. At the present tower , Asoka first set up a small temple, and later a Brahmin repeats a much larger throne (Beal's Hsuan-Tsang, 11, 118, 119). .
According to Alexander Cunningham, the tower that Xuanzang described as the current tower , there is no doubt that itwill be repaired and changed. (Cunningham's Maha Bodhi, p. 18).
Oil we do not find a historical continuity in Bodhi Gaya in antiquity but the material found also proved stupa that is the Buddhist building , until the enemy Islam occupies about a century 19 minutes after TL and all the renovations change, not only by the Buddhists of India assumed , that the Buddhists of Ceylon , Burma, and other countries also participate . So,
According to history , Sri Lanka has associated with Bodhi Path colon since Asoka election Venerable Sanghamitta over Sri Lanka with a branch of the Bodhi . And the king has set up a temple Meghavana at Bodhi ashrams in 330 to the position practice Ceylon and visitors cross to worship. Around 1079 , Burmese Buddhists repaired both the stupas and surrounding walls. A Bhikkhu named Dham Marakkhita in 1100-1200 have restored and expenses are met by Asokamala king, king of Sapadalaksha bear.
A beer started in 1202 was found in Janibigha written a village in Bihar are dedicated to restoration and worship the Diamond Building at Bodhi Path colon and her village because you bhikkhus Mangalaswami people Ceylon management .
The document on the show at least until the 12th century AD, Bodhi Path colon longer belong or Buddhists of Ceylon, or Buddhists in India and only if military Muslim to occupy, Bodhi Path colon New abandoned, no carer until Mr. Mahant came to this place.
Around 1590 an Indian monk named Gosin Ghamandi Gir arrived in the village of Buddhagaya. Because love scenes purity he has decided to choose his spot as a shelter long . He erected a small temple near the main tower and gathered some disciples . Over time , the temple was flourishing. Over a few hundred years became Math (small temple). He mahant currently are successors 13th since he Ghamandi Gir. It was in Mahani Lal Gir's life that Mahant's Math was expanded . Mittipur Taradih village was given to him by a Muslim king in Delhi. But it should be noted that there is no evidence that Mahant owns the tower, since the tower was ruined, no one repaired .
In 1811, the king of Burma came to worship and after King Ava, two delegates came to seek Bodhidharma and neighboring relics through Buddhist texts .
Doctors Buchannan Hamilton dental visit Buddhagaya title in 1812. He found the main tower completely deserted and apparently he mahant not notice anything until Maha Bodhi tower.
By 1833, the Burmese ambassador, Mengy Maha Chesu, accompanied his followers to visit Bodhidharma . He found a Pali inscription in Burmese in that place. This is one of the 84,000 stupas set up by King Asoka , the phudao king, to commemorate his enlightenment after he used milk and honey about 218 years after his entry. Nirvana (326 BC) ".According time towers crumbling and there was a monk named Nai-kamahanta restored , then ruined, then King Sadomang restored . After a time , too, ruined until the king appointed Sewpyu Sakhetaramangyi you master your foreman named Dhammarajagune work restored tower was. He, along with his disciple Kasyapa, began the restoration of the stupa, but could not complete it, although the king greatly helped. Later virtue Varadasi Naik requested the king to stand up to foreman. The king agreed and sent the Prince Pyusa Kheng and the minister Ratha to restoration . Thus, the tower was revised for the fourth time, and on Friday the 10th calendar of Pyadola, the 667th year of Sakharaja's reign (1306 after T. L) is complete .

In 1874, a Burmese king sent a delegation to meet the Indian government with many valuable gifts for the Bodhi Tree and asked the government to help the delegates on behalf of the worship of the relic . The king also pointed out the desire to repair the bodhi tree around the tree and send the delegate always near to the tree. The Burmese king expects once or twice a year that the Burmese people are allowed to offer the Bodhi tree . The request of the Burmese king was sent to Mahant and he accepted it . Then, the delegates to worship and reported to the king of Burma. Prices and treasures of gold, silver, worth up to 60,000Rs (900,000 VND). The Burmese king told Mahant to erect a tower of Paribhoga to store the treasures , which he had to bear, but Mahant made his own .
Set up a Paribhoga Tower to store the King's offerings . Mahant agreed to do the restoration work , and the king of Burma spent a considerable amount of money on this. But the job is not done satisfactorily . After the Indian government appointed Alexander Cunningham and Dr. Rajentralal Mitra to supervise the renovation . Meanwhile, the war between England and Burma exploded . Therefore, the restoration of the stupa under the command of the deputy governor of Burma was under Mahant and the Indian Government.

The government continues to repair the stupa costing Rs 100,000 (VND 1,500,000). All was repaired . The government appointed Maddox the manager, a month to visit once , to see what the stupa was for Buddhists . He also wrote to Buddhist countries , asking to pay attention to this issue . Word love his call not one response, so when he stood up Anagrika Dharmapala himself assumed the responsibility was in 1891. At Mahant's temple there are statues of the Buddha in meditation or teaching . Oh! Seriously how this precious tower! . Germany Bhagavan sat on the throne and the dignity pervades make disciples into tears. How happy ! When my forehead touches the Diamond building, an idea generated and then whacked mind me. The idea told me stop here and keep the relic sanctuary this Solemnly solemn that nothing in the world can match , because this is where beneath Bodhidharma Prince Siddhartha was enlightened . I picked up a few leaves and a very special shape of grass . When a thought suddenly came to me, I asked the Japanese monk Kozen to stay with us here ? This position joyful consent. And moreover, he also thinks like me.
After going to worship on to Ceylon , he held a meeting Dharmaphala public by Mr. Sumangala as chairperson on 31 June 1891. In the meeting , the Assembly Maha Bodhi was formally established with the purpose regain Bodhi Path colon and spread the Dharma in India . Venerable Samangala was appointed chief of the hall and Dharmapala, chief secretary .
In July 1891, he arrived at the Bodhi Temple with four monks and left them. Mr. Hemnarayan Gir, the Mahant at the time, was sympathetic to Dharmapala's work and wished the work was soon accomplished . Later, he reluctantly allowed the temporary use of a small piece of land to build in a shelter for the Buddhist worshipers . Unfortunately, this Mahant died and Krishna Dalyal Gir formed, on February 4, 1892. When he became Mahant, troubles began to occur. Because he was not sympathetic to Dharmapala's work, and became a rival.
After attending a religious conference in Chicago, in 1893, Dharmapala Dafa brought from Japan about a beautifulBuddha statue . This statue, Japanese Buddhists want him to worship at the top of the stupa at Bodhi Temple . February 25, 1895, Dharmapala personally visiting the statue was upstairs. Once placed the statue is finished, he bowed and sat visualization . At that time, the men of Mahant came and threw the statue down. Some are accompanied Dharmapala Buddhist ceremony also beaten. A person was seriously injured . Due to this assault , There was a lawsuit between Dharmapala and Mahant. At the first and second level, Dharmapala won the case , but Mahant won the case. Here, it should be noticed that the judge knows that tower completely belongs to Buddhists . But because the lawsuit belongs to the figure, it does not discuss who the tower belongs to . A judge while arguing in court said: a) The stupa was regularly and continue to be the Buddhists to worship and ritual . b) There is no one form of worship of Hindus are celebrating the tower was, and there is nothing to prove the ritual Hindus have celebrated there, going through the centuries, from the reign Sankara. Only since July last year , will have trouble to worship according to the rites Hindu front imageBuddha located in the downstairs church examination. These ceremonies were apparently instigated by Mr. Mahant and his followers . Starting there, as the steward said, a religious Brahmin was used to light a lamp before the statue, tinkle, wiping statues and places of worship, marked tilak on his forehead, wearing a shirt over his subjects and makeup flowers on empowerment. Area manager was also a Brahmin belonging to the class the highest, testified that the ritual was not truly ritual Hindu. It should be noted that although these rituals were celebrated, Mahant or his followers did not have anyone come to worship in the tower. All ritual Hindu began only last year ,
The great magistrate in Calcutta, after hearing the testimony, stated : "We can recognize that the Bodhi Bodhi Tower is a very ancient monument to Buddhists . stupa Buddha. and oil tower under ownership of Mr mahant, tower that has not been turned into a temple of Hinduism, ie there are gods Hinduism in it and ritual Hindu district tone Be celebrated in that place. From before to now the Buddhists worship has the right freely to visit and worship. "
Dharmapala oil losing but losing it has done for Buddhists the world to understand is the state in danger of Bodhi Path colon, where honor of Buddhists . The judgment was published in all newspapers and problems Bodhi Path colon become a problem to be discussed intensively throughout India, Burma and other countries. Dharmapala did not have the money to put the matter on the Private Council.
By 1902, a monk least four names Okakura came at Bodhi Path colon and start communicating with him mahant to establish a monastery Mahayana independent there. The Indian government is afraid of political implications so the work is not accomplished . Intended monk Japan results in harm to the work of Dharmapala, because the Indian government previously had sympathy with his work now afraid of the difficulties caused by the Japanese Bon intervention triggers, and become Opposition , against Buddhists . Realizing that the Indian government has changed his attitude, he boldly made the claim mahant Dharmapala in 1906 to expel him from the amnesty law that Burma prior to this he was uneventful . He mahant event was once again and so are the Buddhists were expelled completely from the Bodhi Path colon, where honor their best.
Dharmapala, though failing but not disciplined , used the media as a means of propaganda to call for public intervention . Thus, the intellectuals spread success His work Dharmapala and best help for Buddhists regain Bodhi Path colon.
