PARENTAL PARENTING THROUGH MAINTENANCE (10)

PARENTAL PARAMETERS THROUGH MAINTENANCE

PARENTAL PARAMETERS THROUGH MAINTENANCE

I. The Symbol of Parenthood through the texts

In the time of the Buddha, there was a village where two mothers lived together. Both have to work hard but life is still hard.Dissatisfied young man discouraged. When he heard about the birth of the Buddha and his teachings, he resolved to leave his mother and seek the Buddha so that he could help him lead a better life.

On the top of the mountain, the Blessed One is entering the world to observe the suffering of sentient beings. He saw the mother is sick sick, day and night still look baby. He saw the image of the young man, not afraid of high water poison, still a determination to meet the Buddha. The word of mercy, the decision for the mother and child as a wish. He turned into a monk begging for alms. Meet the Dhamma, the young man asked about the place of the Buddha, the monk replied: "You go back to the old road, if anyone meets foot slippers, he is the Buddha."

The young man listened to the monk and returned. See who he also pay attention to their feet. No one left foot slippers. He found himself back home. He knocked on the door and called his mother.The mother heard her son, hurriedly slammed his feet without knowing he was wearing slippers. She opened the door, the son saw her mother slippers, awakened to embrace her mother.

In addition to the teaching of filial respect for parents in the sutras, the respect of parents, whether Buddhist or ordained, is placed on the top. The merit of offering parents as much as the merit offerings to the Buddha.

The Resurrection Sutra says: " There is nothing better than filial piety. The ultimate evil is nothing more than filial piety.

Sutra says:  " Those who want to offer sage and Buddha, offer to parents, all sages and Buddha are in the house . "

However, depending on the way people think that filial piety is expressed in different ways. The results are different. There is a desire to help the spiritual life as well as the material of parents increasingly go up. There is a tendency to make the material and spiritual life of parents more and more down. So the Buddha not only teaches us to have kindness towards our parents but also teaches us how to be filial and to be full of kindness and joy.

Sutra Studies:   

- Revered and obedient to parents.

- Taking care when parents are old.

- Maintaining a traditional family reputation.

- Protecting parental property.

- Lo funeral when the parents died.

If this is the case, the parents will be pleased and happy, because no parents do not want children to obey their teachings as well as protect and promote what they have built from wealth. to the name of the family. The fun of caring, with the people also show the child's respect for children to parents.

The Most Venerable A Teaching:

- If parents do not have faith, parents should encourage parents to trust the Three Jewels.

- If parents are greedy, parents should encourage their minds.

- If parents do evil, they must encourage their parents towards the good.

- If the parents follow the wrong view, encourage parents to return to the right view.

This is to help the spiritual life as well as the material of eternal parents are full, not to fall into three lines. Trust and Refuge Three Jewels is the first step to help us have right understanding.COMMENT, is only for the correct concept. Why is it called righteousness? By living the concept, my life and the person will be happy. Thus, right understanding is the foundation for one's own body and speech to not fall into negative karma. If you have the body, have a good body, peaceful spiritual life, material life surplus.The decisive factor of a person's life and form is not just hard work, cleverness or skill, but it is his threefold karma, words and thoughts. Three good karma, we have the body and life satisfactory. The three bad kamma, our body and our life are often unfulfilled.

II. The image of parents in Duy Manh

As a rule of Vimalakirti, two from his parents Vimalakirti explained as follows: 
Tri degrees, mother bodhisattva means he is the father

Intellect , is the wisdom in the sixth degree of the Bodhisattva.

Means , as the skillful methods by which a Bodhisattva can benefit themselves and benefit the people.

The son said this was not a normal being but a Bodhisattva. Is this only for Bodhisattvas not themselves?

This book is for the Bodhisattva, it is true. But "Living in the world needs a heart." Because that brings joy and happiness to yourself and to people. Because the Buddha nature is available in every person, only because of ignorance obscured without displaying the power used as Buddha. The original capital, often lost, fall, net.When we practice good kamma is the three karma is compatible with the root, so it brings joy to ourselves. Action against evil, against the original should fall into the scene makes us afflicted.Therefore, even though not a single Bodhi mind development "On the Buddha. Under the sentient beings ", it is still a part of those who want to be happy in this world.

The cancer hospital is a place where you will never be open once you open the door. The poor are countless. Money that must go into it for a long time is also poor. In the pathway, the two children are sharing a bicycle. Little children can not drive, two hands are holding the fruit splitting pair, but determined to get the bike he is running. It encroaches on him with elbows, body and cry. In general, three negative kamma are very active.

Half of the fruit fell down the road, where many people trampled and spit. She picked up and continued the fight. I looked around looking for "originality" of two children. The young mother was laughing innocently mixed with the pleasure of seeing the two children pushing and tearing each other.

Without a carefree smile, the mother would not be able to bear what she was experiencing. Single family, poor, children too small, husband with cancer. The result is that there is a kind of benevolence, which can not be criticized when we are not in their situation. The thing to contemplate is, what kind of children will become such people in the future? If the bad habits are not removed at an early age, and continue to be trained naturally, it is not only the calamity itself but also the people around it. Will the mother still laugh when they have strength, weapons and more valuable items?

All things come from the lack of wisdom.

If the woman is wise, I may not have seen her in such a sad situation. If there is such a scene, she may still laugh, but she will not let her brothers compete for a bicycle.

I do not anticipate all the consequences of the present, nor can I turn my destiny in the future in the future for lack of wisdom. We lack a mother who produces a right view of this life.

I can analyze the situation very well, can also experience the results of the current kernel, but what can I do to help young mother as well as prevent the situation?

A nurse walked over and stopped. She admonished, coaxing, she put the baby on the back of the car for him to carry, but not. She just wants to get her car back, regardless of whether it's good for her or not. The mother suddenly wakes up, leaves the seat, stands up and takes the baby girl, just coaxing, but also no effect.

Having a heart but no means to self-gain, no way to benefit the baby can return to the heart, the unwholesome person is still forming, the unfortunate consequences will still appear. An intellectual mother must always be with the father of the means, so that the child of peace, compassion and bliss for life can exist.

Even with our fathers and fathers, without our wisdom and means, our filial piety can not be rounded. Without wisdom, parents work evil, I will support them. Having wisdom without means can not advise nor prevent the evil parents did. Human is bad karma, the result is three lines. Like the story of Mrs. Thanh De, his mother Moggallana we have known.

Thanks to wisdom and means, Moggallana was reincarnated as Thanh De's child. Thanks to these two things, Moggallana knows where his mother is. Thanks to the wisdom, he listened to the Buddha's teachings and asked them to increase their offerings, hoping for the power of you to change your mother's craving.Thanks to the means to increase the offerings that Thanh De escape from the pit of evil spirits, born in heaven.

With the teachings in the text, without wisdom we also do not know how to apply for permission, when applied to his parents, the prayer becomes difficult for him.

The School teaches : " Reverent and obedient parents ." Increase Business Best Agama teaches:  "If parents participate san, to encourage parents to play mind alms" . My parents, if anything is listening to his words or have the heart to give more or less, the two prayers become compatible. The filial paternity becomes easy, but if your parents do not like to give alms, find yourself putting money out of giving out bickers and bickering, find enough ways to stop the two prayers become the opposite pincer in your heart. I obey the grandparents to grandparents happy as the Ministry of Education, or to find ways to advise his grandparents like A Ham talk? Without wisdom I would choose to obey your grandparents well. Intelligence I easily answered "How to do grandparents with me to give alms." Because it benefits your grandparents.

However, there are still many jobs. "Today it's harder to break a mortgage than to break an atomic nucleus," Einstein said.Removing an idea is not the easiest thing to do with older people and patriarchs. This place if we do not have the wisdom and the means for grandparents to do, the filial piety will not be round.

If we have wisdom and means, then we know what to do with unpleasant conditions. This does not imply a certain standard for this. Because each coast has a different way. There are two different ways, but because of proper application, it still gives the same result. It is important that we use our brains and intellect. In addition, from the blessings of the buddhas, we will be supported by the external conditions, making things good.

Wisdom and means are always important to us.

May all beings, regardless of religion, always see the importance of the two beings who produce wisdom and means. See, to honor and make offerings, make you always accompany us in this world. 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.11/3/2018.
