Hhug today we continue on the subject of Kamma. Let's review the results of your Career in the next life, or in other words in the next life regeneration. But before we talk to the doctrine of regeneration, we think that we should give up a little bit, now it comes to the meaning of the Buddha taught about reincarnation. This essential because there are some people who do not accept the concept of regeneration is the most in more than two decades, we have been more conditions up when thinking of what had moved through the science, to what most believe is the ingenuity in scientific terms. So, many people dismissed the comments about regeneration considered superstition, and is part of the world-boundary concerns obsolete. So we need to recreate the egalitarian and open the way for regeneration concept before we mention reincarnation in Buddhist Ethics.
We can apply some methods to sketch the truth of regeneration. A way that we can apply is remembered in all the world's great cultural, in that time, there was an intense belief in the truth of the regeneration. This is especially true in India, where ideas about regeneration can save from the civilization of India is a stub. All the major religions of India, theistic or atheistic, Hindi or India or not, and as Jainism belief in the truth of the regeneration. Also, some other cultures also believe in rebirth, such as assisting the Central Domain in the world, there's a lot of evidences to believe about the rebirth was very popular before and during the first centuries of the modern era Symbiosis. So believe in regeneration is an important part of humanity in the way reflecting on his plight.
Especially in Buddhist tradition, we have verified the Buddha's words on the subject of reincarnation. The night of the Enlightenment, the Buddha, and three witnesses is known to most of the money. You have to remember he was born in circumstances would in reincarnations. You have to remember all the names Him in the next life before, He was in the position, etc. In addition to the Buddha's testimony, the disciples also have in mind are reincarnations of them. For example, A Nan has recalled your life right after about refuge. Similarly, through Buddhist history, the Holy, the scholar and the teacher was able to recall his reincarnations.
However, no arguments above convinced the scientific experiments. So, we need to have a look with more recent us, and here we get the confirmation from a real surprise. Sure You already know that in 20 or 30 years, the home Center-justified-and Super-image-school opened the investigation on problems of regeneration. Recovery times through this investigation, we have made a plausible case about rebirth, and was following the right argument of the scientific dimension. There are many books released were described and discussed about mý Ty this investigation. A scholar works very actively in this realm in the past year is Professor Ian Stevenson of the University of Virginia, United States. He has more than twenty disabled collection of regeneration. Some of us also know the case of a women who remember back before on more than one hundred years is she named Bridey Murphey above of strange that she hasn't visited in the present life. We do not go into the details of the case, and if one wants to have these with them the science of regeneration, then please read on to learn yourself. However, we think that we are going on a spot that both the right to skeptics in the US must also recognize that much of the evidence of the truth of the regeneration.
To search for these cases, we should recall the experience yourself and observe them by way of the Buddhist to refine the experience mean that we can get out from our own experience. All of us in this room have the potential, interests and aversion. So we take righteous that ask, are these events on only by the results of the random or not. For example, some of us are capable of sports than others, some have complaint about math, some have about music, some enjoy swimming, some were afraid of water. There are differences about the abilities and attitudes that are the result of random events? There are the very incredible differences in our understanding. Please see my personal case. I was born in a Christian family in the United States. In the biography at the lack of time no one what symptoms indicate is in 20 years I travelled through India and the next 14 years I lived in Asia and embarks on Buddhist studies.
And then there is the case that sometimes we feel sure we have in a place that I've never visited in the present life. Or sometimes we felt previously knew someone. Sometimes we meet a person that just in the moment is already understood. Conversely, sometimes to know that person for many years, but we don't feel close to that person. The experience about the feelings we have in somewhere, or know someone before, very common and universal in a culture does not know anything about rebirth. About this experience as the French say "déjà vu" means "saw or experience". If we are not your favorite guys, when we summarize all the evidence of regeneration, conviction about the rebirth of many cultures in many different eras in history, the Buddha's testimony, testimony of the disciples of the Lord, evidence of the scientific investigation , and secret things in the mind before we got here; We have to recognize as the truth.
In Buddhism, rebirth is part of the process of continuous change. Indeed, is not dead new regeneration that we born and reborn every minute every second. This is the same as the other tenets of Buddhism can verify through personal experience and through the teaching of science. For example, the majority of cells in our body die and are replaced by new cells many times throughout life. Right to life of some cells are also subjected to internal changes in a row. That's part of the process of birth, death and rebirth. When we look at the mind, we see the spiritual status has changed at a sad fun at always. This status through the go and replace it with a different status. So when looking at the body or mind, we see clearly the continued non-stop of the birth, death and rebirth.
Buddhism teaches many realms, realm and cycles in life. There are 31 Bourn (realms) are different, but we only mention here the six realms. In General, the six realms are divided into two lines in good and Evil. Friendly made three of the six realms is the Sun, and A-tu-la. Regeneration on Charity is thanks to Charity. Evil made three realms of suffering is called the realm of negativity is beast, hungry daemons and demons Head. Rebirth in Evil is bad karma.
Let's consider each scene and starting from the two: realms of hell. There are lot of hell in Buddhism, the hell is eight, and eight hot hell hell. In hell they are miserable and painfully squeeze does not. It is said that the pain one minute in hell by the pain of 300 spear stabbed in a day in the ocean. The cause of rebirth in hell due to violent actions, the routine murder, cruel, actions caused by malevolence. Born in hell suffer until the paid evil industry. This is very important because we have to know that in Buddhism does anyone suffer forever. When evil career off, beings in hell reborn into the world scene happily over.
Next is the realms of hungry daemons. Beings in this realms to bear suffering starvation, and heater. They completely stripped the widgets that they preferred. It is said that when hungry daemons demons found a mountain of rice or water in a river, when they run again then left the other rice mountain is just a pile of rocks, pebbles and crystal-clear rivers just a strip of blue stone. Also, for them the summer moon, still hot and the winter sun still cold. The main cause was born in hungry daemons demon species is due to greed, urban planner, and glue popcorn sẻn. As in hell, the beings in this realm not subject full of fallen permanently make you hungry, when real friendly industry out, they will be born into the higher realms.
Next is the realm of beast, beast bear suffering because many cases of misfortune. They suffer because of fear and pain as a result of the killing, eating each other. They suffer from the looting of humans killing them for meat to eat, grab the skin, horns and retrieved the teeth. At all to not be killed like cattle, they were forced to work for humans, being shackles and doi deterioration. All the stuff on is the source of suffering. The main cause of regeneration do beast is ignorance. Said another way, the guys who blindly follow the beast sex, just worry about eating, sleeping and sexual, not interested in the intellectual, ethical practices, etc ... must be regenerated do the beast.
Now such when we say the habit kills is the cause of rebirth in hell, or greed is the cause of rebirth into the realm of the hungry daemons, and ignorance is the cause of regeneration do animals do not mean those who take action anger, greed or ignorance do not necessarily re born into the realms of hell Devil, falls or beast. The procedure above only means there is a link between the anger and rebirth into hell, between the greed and rebirth into species hungry daemons, and between ignorance and rebirth in animal species. If not from the count, if not offset by other ethical actions, if any such action, the familiar results sure to regenerate in three States this suffering.
We temporarily bypass the realms of humans and comes to the A-tu-la. A-tu-la stronger and smarter than humans. But they suffer because or jealous and love to fight. According to mythology, A-tu-la and the headless Angel sharing a tree on Heaven. While the schools of heavenly fruit, then enjoying A-tu-la to keep tree roots. A-tu-la jealous with the heavenly and divine wanna fruit of the divine celestial. They clashed with the Chu, were defeated and the consequences were suffering so much. Because probably always jealous, covet and conflict, the life of A-tu-la unhappiness and blessed. As well as the other realm, have new cause to regenerate on A species-tu-la. On the positive side, the cause is tolerance. On the negative side, the cause is anger, jealousy and desire.
The client's natural realms, Friday is the Rapture for the six realms. As a result of these actions, keep, and the practice of meditation, they are reborn into the realm of Chu and education enjoying the natural joy of the spirit, or the peace according to the high heavens. However, Chu's heavenly realm is also not desirable because of the happiness of the headless Angel not the school. Despite enjoying up to the level, when charity career area of lóy has expired, when the Germans and meditation at the Thien Chu, discharged must also give up the Sun and regenerate on a certain realm. After his death, Chu heaven suffering much of the spirit than suffering physically in the other realm. Negative factors involved in the regeneration scene about Thien Chu is pleased his port side.
So, where you see we have the weapon box or the suffering involved in the realms of hell, hungry daemons demon, beast, A-tu-la and Chu. They are evil, greed, ignorance, hate and envy us. Born into one of these such realms is something nobody wants. Born in the three lower realms is something nobody likes because it is clear that the suffering, and the ultimate foolish of them born in the realms. Both came into the world scene A-tu-la and Thien Chu also is not desirable, because the oil has reached a level of happiness and that at any time, your life A-tu-la and Thien Chu still not permanent. In addition because the delight and enjoying sex in those realms, they never think to come to the rescue. So that in the six realms, realm of luck, chance, and the best thing of the human species. So we talk about the realms of the human species on part two.
Realms of the human species is the most favorable in the six realms because perhaps one man, we get the motivation and the opportunity to practice and achieve enlightenment. We have the motivation and the opportunity because of the conditions put to the practice currently available. In the realm of the human species, we have happiness and suffering. Suffering aches in the human realm where horrible oil, not by the agony of the three evil realms. The happiness and joy of the people in the human realm by not heavenly realms. So people don't crave something terribly fun of Chu, and don't fear the suffering not unbearable of them born in hell. Again, unlike animals, humans have enough wisdom to find a way to end the suffering.
According to some, is making people very difficult. First, be very difficult to do because the main cause of it. Good conduct is cause to be reborn as a good character, but very rare. Again born as very difficult because there are only a handful to have this chance, because humans are just a small fraction of the constant number of other beings sa HA in the six realms. Moreover not only do people is enough, because many people don't have the opportunity to practice the Dharma. So, not only look forward to people that must have the opportunity to practice the Dharma to cultivate virtue, spiritual development and expand intellectually.
The Buddha has the opportunity to do real rarity. He tells a funny story to represent this. Assuming that all the world is a vast ocean, and on the surface of the Ocean has a buoy drifting with the wind Thinketh bong. Suppose under the ocean floor has a blind turtle for every hundred years to rise to the surface of the sea. It is difficult to know how to get the other turtles head onto the buoy on the surface; Likewise, it is hard to know how we have opportunities to do. An other example, a man who throws a handful of dried pea into the rock wall, and only one pea was to stick to the wall. B. do the people and have the opportunity to practice the Dharma are similar and so hard.
This is crazy when I waste the life in these favorable conditions that we enjoy in a free society make us the opportunity to practice the Dharma. The dress is very important when there is a chance, we have to use it. If we do not practice the Dharma in this lifetime, we're not born into the realms, and when we have the opportunity this luck. We must strive to break out of the round of birth and death, if not we have mortal reincarnation forever in the six realms. When Evil or Friendly career bringing us into one of the six realms of rebirth, was continued and we again find themselves reborn into another realm.
In summary, from the unconscious only I could, we drift roll within birth and death from infinity only I could in the six realms, and if our bones into piles through the lifetimes, those piles of bones are taller than mount Tu Di. If the number of this page that we drink of the mother in the next life bring immeasurable collected, the number of this page will more than ocean water. So now, when there is the opportunity to practice the Dharma, we need to practice soon.
Over the years, people have tended to use the noun psychology to describe the six realms. Some professors to experience six worlds right in there. This very true ever. Terms he and a woman incarcerated, tortured, murdered, etc. then what the circumstances of the beings in hell. Likewise, the head of greed and selling xẻn what hungry daemons. And the guys mind much like beast is different beast. Guys have brain or cause gè, Italy authority and he hated then what A-tu-la. Minded guys proud, self in what the other lettered, serene Angel. However when enjoying the experience of six realms in our present life, we see it's true in a certain level. But if that the realms which no truth is messed up. The realms of hungry daemons, demons, hell, beast, A-tu-la and Chu also bias as realms of the human species. Let us recall the creative mind all the mental state. The action by the pure mind due to tolerance, love make up, etc ... bring fun mental state or similar status in the realms of the human and divine celestial. But the Act created with an impure mind due to join, etc ... that leads to a life of unhappiness like lifetimes of hungry daemons demons and hell.
Finally we want to distinguish the revival (Rebirth) and reincarnation (Reincarnation). Have you noticed in Buddhism, we often talk about not talking about rebirth and reincarnation. Firepower like that because in Buddhism we do not believe in the existence of an entity, a soul transfer. We do not believe We have a regeneration. So, when preaching about regeneration, we use the example without the need for the transfer of a property or a can. For example, one born from a seed sprouts, without actually moving. Seeds and peas are not the same. Also, when I burn a lamp from a lamp, not having the move essentially from the lamp and everything to the other lamp and the first one just cause of second tops. When the ball hit the radar ball, a continued, between the thrust and direction of the first transmission to left for the second left. Such is the cause of the Monday run by any dimension with a certain speed. When we step twice down a river, the river is still not that there were continuous between the cause and the consequence. So have regenerated without reincarnation. Is responsible for the spirit, but We don't have independence and permanence. There were continuous of cause and effect, but not often.
We would like to end here because we will review examples of seeds and peas, and examples of the flame of an oil lamp and we will discuss the Human Management in the Coast next week. The doctrine of Human Physical Charm will help us understand clearly why Coast Staff is responsible for the spirit and not the self incompatibility.

ARTICLE X-LY NHAN DUYEN
Trong tenth lecture, we will mention an incredibly important topic in the study of Buddhist studies and pratītyasamutpāda theory (also known as the Charm or Charm Staff). We know there are some people who believe that Human Physical Charm is a very difficult topic and we thought that right. Indeed, there are times He A Nan said that although the Staff Coast seem difficult, but in fact this very simple tenets, and he A Female being the Buddha his rebuke of this review. The Buddha said that about very profound Coast Staff. Thats right, when instructors on Staff, we found that this doctrine is a doctrine important and deepest in Buddhism. So, we also feel embarrassed not to Altaf Staff were covered to a certain extent. However about words, where Coast Staff have difficulty. After all, we all know what is human and what is coast, born of something, or the coast. Only when the research function and applying Charm Staff we see projected in the words of the Buddha teaches the Buddha. that he enlightened is thanks to two lines: either God or Four understand am Staff wall Charm. Then again, what the Buddha is often said is like to reach enlightenment, we must understand God or Four Coast Staff.
Pursuant to the statement by the Buddha, we see there is a very close correlation between Four and Human Physical Charm. Four Staff and the same Coast have what similarities? In principle both have similarities in principle cause and effect or action and consequences. In a previous lecture, we have spoken to Four Soles are divided into two groups; the first group includes suffering and the causes of suffering, and the second group is the cessation of suffering and the way to the cessation of suffering. In both groups, the law governing causation correlation of the two groups. In other words, is the gauge of the effectiveness of the causes of suffering, and similarly, termination miserable is the efficiency of the road to end the suffering. Neither Coast staff, its basic principle is the cause and the effect.
In Duyen Staff we have many more details in the process causing a cause. Let's take a few examples talking up the nature of the Coast Staff. First of all let us take the example of the Buddha use. He said the flames of burning oil lamp is due to oil and heart lamp (lamp Wicks) When oil and heart lights, lamp's flame burning. If two things on there then lights off. The above example represents the principle of Staff in terms of Charm the flame of the lamp. Let's take the example of a germ. That germ of popping verb depending on the seed, the soil, water, air and sunlight. In fact, there are many examples of Human Physical Charm because probably no one of any phenomena not to Altaf Staff effects. All these phenomena he incurred depending on some factors of the cause. The procedure is simple, it is the principle of Human Physical Charm. Especially, we attach great importance to the principle of the Coast Staff be applied to the problem of suffering and rebirth. We pay attention to the Coast staff explain our presence in this place. In that sense, it is important to remember that Human Reason is the Charm necessary tenets and mainly related to the problem of suffering and how to escape from suffering, rather than describing the evolution of the universe.
We listed the twelve components or human-form charm Charm Staff: They are ignorance, onion, recipe, list the colors, green, life, emotions, AI, player, owner, b., Laozi.
There are two main ways that one can understand the composition 12 (WP-charm). One is to understand them by Tuesday, in three lifetimes: the past, present and future. In this case, ignorance and belongs to the past. They symbolize the conditions created lifetimes. The following components are the knowledge, the contacts, the Mainland imported, exposed, tho, AI, player, owner belongs to this life. In summary, the eight components (human-charm) forms the evolutionary process of the past life, the present. Two components and finally Lao Tzu in a past life. Under this system, we have seen the twelve ingredients of the Coast Staff are distributed on three lifetimes and how two-first coast, ignorance and, with resulting physical mind personality, and enforcement actions in the current lifetimes lead to rebirth in the next life. Such is the common way and trust are in the interpretation multiply 12-this coast.
But today we are targeting a different interpretation of the relationship between the twelve Staff of charm-Charm. The entrance to this interpretation can be trusted and has been recognized by the master and the Holy DAC results. The way to explain this is by way of explaining the cycle does not base on the twelve human-dominated coast in three lifetimes. This way, divided into ten two-coast into three groups is directly under, umbrellas (action) and suffering. The way to explain this benefit is not based on the temporary distribution between the three.
Under this system, ignorance, craving and its umbrella group directly under. And the owner of group actions (karma). The seven remaining components are the knowledge, the contacts, the Mainland imported, exposed, tho, and Laozi, belonging to the group. By explaining the meaning of what we see on the Four most Second Soles Soles: causes suffering, combined with tenets and regeneration; and two important physics education as to how to explain the whole problem of regeneration and the causes of suffering.
You may remember back in Four Soles, we say ignorance, greed and anger is the cause of suffering. If we look at the three components of the weapon box team Coast Staff we see ignorance, craving and its capital. Ignorance is the most basic. Because of the ignorance that we crave pleasures of the senses to be exist and do not exist. Also because of the ignorance we attachment (the seat) into the pleasures of the senses, to enjoyment, and on the most important ideas and is clinging to the idea of a Us independent and often longer. Therefore, ignorance, craving and its cause of action.
Two components of the Group's action group and the owners. Include the action or habit that we create in the mind-the continuation of formula. Marks or does make routines or recurrent action. We can illustrate the above example by taking in excess. We know the river is formed by the constant erosion. When rain fell on the slopes of the Hill, standing in the rain in small rivers. This experience forms the proximity fuse and become a stream. Finally, because these countries flow flowing non-stop, deeper stream, and the stream became a river basin and the coast. Also, our actions become habits. This habit became a part of our personality and we bring this habits through this life to another life form a or form at of the habit. Our actions in this life created by the routine from before immeasurable. Back to the similarity between the water line and water, we can say that is the water line, and the actions created in the current lifetimes is the new water flow through the water line was the previous actions of erosion. The actions created in this life are symbolized by the component is called. So your favorite us and so repeat the habit from many lifetimes ago along with the actions in this life, and this leads to rebirth and suffering.
In summary, we have the weapon box, these defilement of mind news ignorance, craving and its capital. This impure mind creates action, then the action by the industry at these before plus the actions created in this form with corresponding actions in the actions before. The box directly under the Center's combined with action taken to regenerate. In other words, they emerge in consciousness, in the name and colors, in the record type (the touch between six and six apartments the ceiling), in life, in the emotions (born from exposure), and in the aging and death in. The way this is described in the section of the coast consists of two erren weapon box and action group (ignorance, craving, its capital, and owner) was of rebirth and suffering. Consciousness, and identity, green, life, emotions, born, premature aging and death is the result of the cell directly under Center and action. Both the weapon and the action pane section to explain the cause of the suffering and the plight of each of us was born.
In the previous section have stated that they often have more directly under the umbrella of the mind of every individual are different. Therefore, while the weapon in the Centre of the box to explain why they are forever confined within samsara, the actions explain why someone was born, people do have guys who are born to do natural guys were lettered fallen beast. In this sense, the cross charm erren drawing out was a picture of reincarnation with enough people and results.
Drawing painting reincarnation will not stated what the problem is if we don't use it to core changes our body parts, to break out of samsara. Also in this sense, determine how the operation of samsara, the round's charm is the first step of the liberation. How is that fair? As long as that is also the weapon box and action, the rebirth and suffering still. When we see is ignorance, craving, and other actions taken to rebirth and suffering, we will be aware of the necessary break something contrary. oan
Let's take a specific example. For example, you are making the home of acquaintances that you never go there at all. You have lost more than a half hour drive to the back without finding the friend House, but then suddenly you realized that the mold that you have seen here a half hour. Then you back toward the landmark, which you have to go through before the half hour. At the time, mind you sparked the thought I was running round and round you've stopped to view map directions, or asking a walkers to find the target. So the Buddha is seen to be the Coast Staff saw France and see Buddha. As already said is before here why the Buddha said that Staff understand the Charm is key to go to the rescue. So when we know the body-of Staff, we can break the bondage of round it. We can do that by removing these defilement of the mind erase as IGNORANCE, CRAVING and ITS CAPITAL. When these defilement eliminated evangelist, will no longer act, and also no routine capacity born run. When the action stops, rebirth and suffering would also stop.
Should also spend a bit of time to comment on an important meaning of the Coast Staff to explain the Central Dao. In the previous lecture, when referring to the Central Dao, only limited in the basic sense. Accordingly, the Central Dao is to avoid extreme ones enjoyment pleasure for the feeling and the extreme self-flagellation. In the range, the Central Dao synonymous with moderation. Within the Staff, Central Coast Dao mean contact with meaning on yet more deeply. In this scope, the Central Dao means avoiding the extremism of the immortal (often biased) and nihilism (opinion piece).
So are the stars? The flames of the burning oil lamps were oil lamps and the heart is due. One of two things that are not there, the lights will turn off. So, the flame is not usually longer and also not independent. Also, our personality depending on the contract theory of the weapon and the action pane. It is not usually longer and also not independent.
Aware of the nature and charm of our personality, we avoided the extremism of the immortal (often biased), and avoid the confirmation that We are independent and often longer. When consciousness is that personality, we found that this life is not suddenly or luck that there, where is it subject to conditions by the similar causes create a flood. We avoid nihilism (opinion piece) is that denying the contact gióa action and its consequences. While nihilism (the opinion), the first cause of rebirth in agony scene need to kind of spread, immortal (often biased) also does not lead to liberation. Those who cling to hard that immortal (often biased), making things, and rebirth into the happy place as do people or followers, but never attain liberation.
Avoid two extreme thing, understand the Central Dao, we can achieve happiness in this life, and life after by doing the thing to avoid the article though, we finally achieve liberation.
The Buddha has drafted his teachings with plenty of caution. Occasionally his teachings like treatment of a lobster with the it. When the lobster ones carrying on to teeth take it to go, it's very careful how biting pieces for not too tight or too lang. If biting on my neck it too deep, it will make it hurt or dead. If it is carrying its too, it will fall and be injured. Also, the Buddha is very prudent for us to avoid the extreme of usually and paragraph (TA). Because He saw that if we accept the common opinion of extremists, the into what was a chain of columns in reincarnation, and he also carefully taught us don't believe in what we are independent and often longer. For he found freedom can be sharp teeth of belief in what we break, so the Buddha taught that we should avoid the common opinion of extremists. And accept the opinion segment will lead to tragedies such as the regeneration of the system status.
He cautiously teaches us the truth of the law of causation and responsibility. He said those who rejected the law of spiritual responsibility, who will the fallen low realms. He taught us to avoid extremism of the opinion. This nice achievement goals thanks to the doctrine of charm theory born help us keep faith knowing dependent personality and impermanence of individuality, and conscious of the reality of the law of cause and effect.
Through charm theory born, by insisting on being subject of individuality, we have formed the essence is not independent and does not often also of the fall. The next post will go into the computer and impermanence of Leanne self (I) through the combination of observations by the separation of its composition. According to this approach, we will unravel the truth EGOLESSNESS, truth is open to enlightenment.
