Five Dogs celebrate the Spring of the Month of 2018

 

By operating 12 of the universe's intelligent, five dogs - the Lunar New Year 2018 is catching. Five dogs should be allowed to talk about dogs.

Dogs are an animal that is close to humans because they are loyal, helpful, intelligent and responsible for the important task of guarding the home. From the Buddhist point of view, dogs are highly tainted, well-behaved, deserve trust in times of difficulty, wiser than cats, pigs, chickens, goats, cows ... Therefore, people understand Buddhism Do not eat dog meat or other animal flesh and bury it when they die. Buddhists who eat vegetarian food do not eat any kind of meat, not just avoid a separate species like Hinduism do not eat beef or pork and Muslims do not eat pork.

 

Many real stories in life show that dogs are praised as a close friend with the owner, to dissipate loneliness, share joys with the owner, as the faithful exile, waving his tail first salute Happy home, so the dog is like a dog. In many developed countries like Europe, America, Dubai ... dogs have hospitals and veterinary (Veterinary Hospital), police (Pet Cop) and cemeteries (Pet Cemetery) for cats and dogs. Some prefer to live with dogs or cats in the house rather than having a husband or wife. Dogs do not speak out loud like people and do not compete for rights like people.

Many of youtube is about real-life stories about the admiration of the lovely, cute and loyal characters of dogs like a dog who broke into the fire to save his little cat, save the owner, save the baby. small in fire, dogs know who distinguishes real time, know how to keep the property of the owner, do not let guests touch, dogs can lead the blind pass, if the dog can learn to discover opium, or victims or dead bodies trapped in earthquakes and tsunamis. Strong dogs can handle their belongings, whether they are in contact with the landowner or if they have been caught 50km. They still know how to walk to their former owners (like the dogs of Huong Sen pagoda). poor it still follow the old master, stray where also find their way back) and especially he knows how to cry when the master died and loyal, hoarse lying next to the master and died under the master.

According to the Vietnamese Han, the dog is called "crane" (狗) or "dog" (犬). Puppies are called "puppies". Like the civet, the dog is also called "civet." There are many types of dogs such as wolves, spotted dogs, squid dogs, shepherd dogs, hounds, dogs ... Dogs are four-footed animals such as cows, buffalos, lions, bears, elephants, deer, gibbons, gibbons, gibbons, gibbons, leopards, leopards, leopards, leopards, leopards, leopards, leopards, leopards, leopards, lizard, lizard, lizard, lizard, wild boar, wild boar, boar, wild boar, rhinoceros, water buffalo, frog, toad, frog

 

The Buddha taught (1): "Essentially the mind to create" or "Bring horn hair or Buddha to make the nest just by our mind." The four-legged dog, as well as the five-footed dog (3), also known as painful itch, is hungry, loves to hate fear, nực fear death, anxiety to live, our mind, like the human mind. We eat dog meat, kill dogs only to eat a moment's mouth tongue, while the meat is only swallowed down the throat is no taste. Set the plot, making birds, dogs, net sa trap, so cruel, cruel. Saying 'my money is not enough, I can pay for it,' or 'I enjoy heaven' or 'my body' is dead, spoiled for food, not afraid of anything. turn the resentment, together go on the road forever suffering.

The vine said, "See that the beast liveth, and hath not seen it die. He heard screams and screams, and did not eat meat. So, there was a killer where there are killings. The Vineyard says so, how much we are Buddhists, their family Thich, avoid killing is the first world, the life of the species. Because all have Buddha-nature, all ovules, fetuses, lowers, and buddhas are all buddhas. Because of being together in the cycle of samsara, all flying, running, swimming, swimming, or dogs can all be parents of each other. Having solid faith in this, we will have a change in the way we look and live our lives.

Seeing the arrows, the horned souls fly away. Seeing the bow, deer fell. Sour taste of the brain, headache, pain running through the back of the abdomen. Use the heart of animal liver, to delicious in the moment. Mai mountain forests in the sword, hundreds of thousands of lives in hell. In addition to the report to the body, pigs, chickens, dogs for surgery, stabbing, spinning, iron saddle, donkey, dog slaves, plow buffalo buffalo ...

The lawyer told reporters that there is a Tripitaka magician to the main hall, see an elderly man chanting, jokingly said: "chanting chanting like dogs bark." Because of that joke, the monk suffered 500 lives as a dog. In the end, the dog eats fleshy meat, the owner cut all four feet, thrown into the pit.

Lord Sutra went over to sin, giving the dog food, lectures and prayers. The dead dog, reincarnated as a son of the head of the original. The new seven-year-old was playing outside the door, seeing the relics of alms passing through his father immediately for the family. After leaving home, under the guidance of the relics of Sutra, Aristocrats have proven Arahants.

Thus, a joke that is harmful to 500 dogs. If you are not a practitioner of the Buddhist Tripitaka, how can you meet the holy monks to end the lost path. The Tathagata teaches: Beings in the realm of good fortune, take away the thought of crime. Encountering good deeds is easy. Encounter evil more and more strong. Without good knowledge, the path of liberation will not last forever.

In short, from the pure net, a non-dualistic concept of non-dualistic non-duality (4), which has the newspaper, politician, creature appeared, and then the animal was born with mental complex They have created karma for retrieving karmic retribution. Who made it, made a conscious animal that the animal must struggle to struggle for life in a harsh way? It is our minds that create.

In the struggle for survival, the animals, when they help each other (good), when they mutilate each other (evil) to create countless good and evil and mixed up pushed beings rolled in samsara never stop.

 

In his book, Said the Law of the Venerable Phuoc Binh, there is a story that says: "On the way of alms, a monk saw a mole holding a dog, a dog with a muzzle trying to cry for help. . He yelled at the dog not to make noise at home that he would do the meat right. When the monk stopped him asking for his forgiveness for the dog, the monk was willing to give up the meal in the bowl for him, but he refused. The monk asked him to eat this part of the dog and he brought it home to make meat as well, not late. He was. Bhikkhu vows for food. that food has turned into real, he stroked the previous disclosure do not good news to sincerely repent and eat up bowl of rice.

When murdered, the dog immediately fell into the house of a wealthy prime minister. Twelve years later, the monk accidentally crossed the emperor's house. As before the boy ran out the door to repeat the old saying and get out of the house. The head of the consent and soon both teachers have attained Arahats illegally. Thus, animals such as dogs are aware of the error, the most penitent repentance, the offense of immediate rebirths born in the human race to learn and harvest good results. Thus, in this story, dogs also have Tanh linh and Tanh as people and close to humans.

The Buddha also has the story of "hungry dog" as: The Buddha in the world, there is a very cruel king, listening to the Buddha in his country, he immediately came to the Buddha and asked him Tell a happy story again is useful again. The Buddha told the story of "The Dogs" as follows:

In ancient times, there was a monarch very tyrannical, repressive with good people, people are complaining. Emperor Thich saw this immediately came to the bare lead by a very devil. He adapted himself into a hunter, while the demon turned into a tall dog. The hunter leads the dog into the king's palace to meet. Suddenly, the dog was pounding up, making the palace palate tremble ... The king was horrified, demanding the hunter before the throne, asked:

- "That guy, why the dog howling up?"

The hunter said,

- Your Majesty, because of hunger, it was tru.

The king ordered the dog to eat. But one unexpected thing is how much the dog eats, all the plants in the warehouse are gone, but it is still not full, so the more it fumbles, the more harmful it is, every time it When the palace of the monarch shakes like to collapse ...

The king did not know how, asked the hunter:

- What to eat for it to hold it?

The hunter replied: - Your Majesty, for the meat of him he hates to eat it up.

"Do you hate him?" Asked the king.

"It hates the injustice that harms the poor. Every day in the country there is no hungry people again, it's new.

The king remembered his evil deeds to do the most regret, from which to repent and to hear the righteous justice. The Buddha told the story of this, the face of the king again. The Buddha said to the king calmly: "When you hear the voice of the dog you remember the story told me. You can keep the dog calm. "

Thus, in this story as a dog, the spirit of integrity, kill evil evil. Through the image of the hungry dog, the monarch began to believe in Buddhism, using the method of righteous virtue and vow to serve the Three Jewels.

We often know the cause of the reincarnation of the dog is due to the past sowed by the evil as the mind of selfishness, selfishness, bothered to keep the "self" as the story "Dog Dog The following "illustrates:

When the Buddha was in the world, the head of a dog is very intelligent, but his nature is very aggressive, see anyone in the house want to bite. So when anyone wants to go to his house, he must stand outside the door to call the person in the house to prevent the bite. If you do not know to go to the dog is bitten. The headmaster spoiled the dog very well. Eating is good for food. Sleeping on a warm mattress. Whenever he went home, he was happy.

One day, he went away, Buddha begging alms at his house. The dog ran to bark, want to bite before and scolded, "The former life of greed, colloquial vicious evil sin, regret, should fall as a dog. Without repentance, repentance, anger, aggression. After abandoning the dog body, suffering hell, long suffering. "Dogs heard and recalled his previous life, should immediately run to the floor, close his eyes, im quiet, card. The head of the fake, do not see the dog happy, he asked the family now do not see the dog to celebrate. The family said, "When morning there Mr. Sa Cu Sat passing, dogs barking. Sa Mon Cu Dam said to him that it is sad to eat, to drink, to lie down. "The headman heard angry, went to the Buddha to ask the question. When he arrived at the Buddha's place, he said, "Hey, Hamad, what trick do you use to make my dog ​​sick, to stop eating? If it does,

Buddha said, "Chief, please calm down, sit here hear me. He did not know that dog was his father. Because his father, when born money, do not know the blessing, greed, stingy, and regret of the dog must be dog. "

When he heard this, the head grew angry. He said, "Where does Kamma come from?"

The Buddha said, "If you do not believe, come back to sit with the dog and say," Hey, father, father, father, father, father, father, son, father,

When the chief went home and did so, the dog got up, ran to the back of the house, to the base of the tree, and picked up his feet. The chief dug for him, indeed there was a jar of gold. He half-happy half, giving the gold that offerings Buddha and generosity. The dog, after seven days, escape the dog life, childbirth. The head of the pseudonym and the refuge, the Honored Three Jewels.

Missing the evil work, then Do 
not continue the wrong life. 
Have fun with this evil evil 
or evil contains a day of suffering.

 

So in this endless cycle of samsara, between us and the seven living beings (heaven, a-tu-la, realms, realms, animals, hungry ghosts, hell) interdependence is interrelated, so we have to love and take responsibility for each other, keep the precept not killing killing, avoid evil do good to the same species of happiness. In addition to protecting human rights, we have to protect the animal (animal rights) because maintaining the life of the animal is also about maintaining our lives. If you have not eaten vegetarian food, you must eat non-veg, so eat in the humiliation (meaning not see, do not listen, not suspected and not kill animals to eat meat that dies naturally), should avoid boiling live shrimp crabs,

Through modern internet techniques, we have seen that most animals have a tactile and brain system like humans. They also know cold, fear, fear, life and death. When they are afraid, their heart beats, their blood pressure is high, their breath panting, even many dogs and cows are tearing as human beings use their ill-fated instruments to steal life. they. The cow, the buffalo, the dog knows how to kneel, tears when they know they are going to be slaughtered. Eating meat of animals such as dogs, cats, buffalos, and human-like tuchas will cause us to suffer both morally and physically and with painful consequences. Numerous everyday life stories about the consequences of the pigs, dogs, buffalos, cows, horses ... are examples of the scene for us.

The Dhammapada tells us that at the time of the Buddha, there was a butcher named Cunda living near the pernament. Every time he killed a pig, he tied the animal tightly to a pile and beat it with a square trowel, then rolled his jaw and poured boiling water into his throat, then poured boiling water on his back, with a torch. Finally, Cunda cut the pig's head with a pointed sword and then cut the meat, peeling the skin. Cunda has lived in slaughtering and selling meat for nearly twenty years.

At the end of his life, Cunda suffered from a strange disease, coughing, coughing with both hands and knees. The frightened man sought to gag everything, shut the door and locked him in the house. After seven days of suffering, crying like a pig, Cunda dies. As soon as he was alive, hell appeared to Cunda. Buddha said after death, he was fallen into hell A Pi. For a little money, because of the sense of taste in the food that Cunda has created evil and evil fruit.

In the Ten Teachings, the Buddha taught that those who give life to animals and do not commit suicide will have ten benefits in the present life:

1. Honored people 
2. Compassionate openness 
3. Unable to be angry 
4. Always healthy 
5. Longevity 
6. Frequently supported by good people 
7. Sleeping and not having bad dreams tenon 
8. Unless the rancor 
9. Needless fall into the three evil paths 
10. After death to heaven.

 

There is a story of an old Tibetan woman after experiencing a snowstorm for several days continuously, the house dried up dry, she was up stairs down the mountain to buy food. Along the mountainside, farms, vegetable gardens, rice fields are a cold white mourning hair without vitality. Too hungry and tired, she sat down on the ice to rest her legs and took out the last dry morsel to gnaw. Sitting up, she saw a hungry dog ​​crawling near her. Its cold shivering, its hairy enough not warm enough. Its stomach is too thin to starve, there is no one here to feed it. She quickly took off an old cloth and covered it with bread, and she broke it, dividing it to one part, her part. Then the old woman and the dog together smiled deliciously.

The story is so simple, but the meaning is profound. The old man saw himself and the dog equally well, so hungry, the bread was ready to split, the clothes ready to be dropped. If our normal psychology, we can give the position of the dog or animal is inferior, so even if you love, give it to eat, we just bough the tail and break a little bit just for tomorrow I eat more ... As such, the heart from us is limited, too small nhen? So, let's practice as the virtue of this old lady, our wisdom awakened sense of nature will go a long way through this blessing.

New Year, Year of the Dog-Happy Spring of the Month of August 2018, our love for pervading the species of being present all over the planet. Enlightenment of the human-fruit effect of the dog that died of bad luck, sow good deeds, to show good flower. May the dogs of the same legal world beings early Buddhism.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.10/2/2018.
