Golden stools raise the pearl.

)

Every year, every summer is about the lotus blooming blooming color, the aroma radiate all the way, such as the virtue of the Great Enlightenment wind up everywhere.

"One day the Buddha sat in meditation on the lotus pond, and when he meditated, he looked down at the lake and saw the beautiful blooming lotus blossomed above the surface of the water, the sunlight and the light of the sun,

In the beautiful dress by lot,

 The white cotton leaves stuck yellow,

Yellow-green cotton pear;

Nearly mud that does not stink of mud.

Also; There are beings who are ignorant defilements hide Xinxing, there are beings beyond the ignorance defilement, the identity becomes pure, if encountered Buddhism will be disturbed negativity karmic, Enlightenment flowers will result in this life ". Beautiful lotus, pure aroma that everyone likes to praise, root from the mud. This is a very clear truth. The life of Prince Siddhartha is very close to the life of all of us, He is a flesh and blood in this world, not superhuman beings from any realm. He appeared in the place of sensual pleasures, and from the pleasures He awakened to cultivate. About 2,635 years ago, the Bodhisattva of the Ming dynasty brought light, compassionate wisdom to the world This woman has walked on seven golden lotus:

Seven golden lotus pearls;

Three worlds of the Tathagata.

Seven golden lotus pearls are a great message on the progress of the Supreme Being of the Buddha and all of us, the Buddha.

He displayed birth, walked on seven lotus, looked up the six directions, the last step to stop the statement, confirm the achievement of Brains. In life with seven steps of compassion, wisdom, peace, immaculate, not sticking to the ceiling is a law that the ten generations of ten Buddhas have gone through, the Buddha also passed and the Buddha will have to go through to reach Enlightenment.

According to the Sutra Di Jing Hanh-product Thuy Tuyen, Bodhisattva birth, the first step; Look to the East, for sentient beings do the ultimate guide. Orient, where the dawn of insight. The beings from the dark place of desire, ignorance, want to take the first step into the path of liberation, to rely on wisdom, to receive the Three Jewels to improve the personality. . To do so, must be moral integrity, knowledge through learning, reflect and practice the Dharma. Before becoming a saint, one must strive to live up to the personality of a human being. Consciousness, therefore, is the first step. This step must be placed on the lotus is true and complete.

Take the second step; He looks at the South, because the sentient beings make the field cool. The bhikkhu because they make a living to grow fat good for people to cultivate virtue. In the fields of happiness, the Three Jewels is the best field for the seeds of Compassion, Wisdom, and Freedoms. Thus, when he was in the position of the redundant, the Buddha continued to rely on the Three Jewels to transform karmic forces, cultivate complete protection, dignified self-report. The Buddha is the Blessed Trinity, learning the Buddha, the practice of transforming evil karma of the body, mouth, mind (Body: murder, theft, adultery. Italy: greed, anger, ignorance) to become good business to cultivate virtue is essential. This is the stage of the practice of Heaven, the end of good deeds, Transforming the ten bad karmas into ten. This second step is the continuation of the first step, from the platform of the Three Jewels, life expectancy of the five worlds up to ten good schools. 

Here, the Buddha went to the "do not do the evil, only do the good." Although transformed evil karma but want to completely remove the root of affliction, ignorance, the Buddha should make more effort. So he took the third step; Looking towards the West, we see that this is the last body, the end of samsara. 

From the transformation of karma towards the end of karma, the escape of samsara is the practice of the third step. The West is the sun, the direction of the calm, calm, death. Mind to rely on meditation, focusing on a term, static, completely silent. This is the footsteps of the linguistic bar, the Sacred to escape life and death. Meditation effort, coordinated rhythm between the only and Quan, the mind to immobility, to promote meditation coast to bear the body of selflessness and mind, , attained Arahantship.

Fourth step; is the beginning of the aspiration of forgiveness, He looked to the cold North, darkness, for sentient beings that opened up the ultimate wisdom. Having liberated samsara, because beings are suffering, Bodhisattva does not dwell in Nirvana. Bodhisattva goes to darkness ignorance, craving for craving but not sticking a bit of dust, self-sustaining steps free on the lotus infection. Utilize infinite means to save sentient beings, in which the most important point is to show that human beings are able to enlighten themselves in this life. 

Each of us has Buddha-nature and is capable of becoming a Buddha. Sentient beings because of deep ignorance, so not enough to believe in the mind Enlightenment that is available in his. Thus, manifestation of the Supreme Wisdom in the life of evil is the most eloquent witness to the possibility of Enlightenment. Although achieving enlightenment is not something that can be accomplished overnight, one can experience a new life span to the day the park is full. The awakening of self-confidence Liberate the beings to torch themselves by themselves, to see that Tathagata is the Buddha has become, we are the Buddha will be the great blessings of the Enlightened.

Continuing to commit ourselves to the benefit of the spirit, take the fifth step; Footsteps of the lotus flower in the sea of ​​fire, looking down to the bottom because sentient beings ghost. Under the lower capital, the results of the suffering beings, so strong, aggressive, evil, persistent, evil, narrow ... So, the macabre should be enlightened and loved , irrigate the road. May they serve but only bring wisdom and compassion (love) to them only. The suffering is varied, the message. Suffering causes the soul to darken and the body is more traumatic. Thus, the greater the suffering, the more resentment and superficial resentment, the endless. The ghost must go to the place of suffering, dark, full of danger and therefore the wisdom, bravery, the new Bodhisattva profound. Bodhisattva Guan Yin of suffering suffering, Whenever there is an unhappy cry, he will come. Bodhisattva Vajra vow when beings are no longer imprisoned in hell, then he attained Supreme Bodhi.

Sixth step; Look up the upper because sentient beings rely on heaven. When you have eliminated the resentment, the level of the lower elements is difficult to focus on higher objects, intellectuals, knowledge and many reports. Human beings are happy beings, less suffering than the three, evil (Hell, hungry ghost, animal). But if you do not accumulate and develop your blessings by practicing the Dharma, then the virtue will be exhausted and will be fallen as usual. On the other hand, despite the report, but still ignorant dominant, craving binding, defilement raging. 

Therefore, heaven needs to rely on the Three Jewels, receiving light Enlightenment, promote the wisdom of the Supreme to "peace of mind and the heart", the direction of ultimate liberation. In the six realms, there are more opportunities for practicing Dhamma and spiritual sublimation than others. Reflected Three Jewels, heaven find a way to rely on yourself to set off the torch.

When the self-consciousness, sense of fullness, sense of fullness is the moment the park is full, the Buddha. Thus, the seventh step is the last step, the self-sufficiency and self-fulfillment, which he proclaims: "I am the most precious and the supreme in the world. To beings in the three realms, anyone who cultivates the fullness of self-interest and benevolence is the Most Honest, most victorious. " 'One person, monks, when appearing in life is a person, not two, without a companion, no comparison, no similar, no part, no peer, no Equal, the supreme among the two legs. One person is ? It is as Lai, A degree of arhangle, Chief of the sense of '(The increase of the I, One product).

The Buddha walked seven steps on the lotus to become a Buddha. We Buddhists are walking and will follow the seven steps. Pursuing the old footprints, practicing self-immolation and forgiveness until the park's fullness, the Buddha's birthday, the image of seven golden lotus pearls upholstered everywhere, evoking the Buddha's self-confidence enlightenment of self. We are also stepping on the lotus with the effort of practicing, applying the Buddha's teachings in daily life to gradually build up the confidence of happiness and liberation, for ourselves and for all. people.

The event of offering this Buddha's birthday is to connect the spiritual culture tradition from the beginning of the Citadel named Thang Long thousand years of civilization:

The four thousand years of civilization, when promoted when the bass still follow the steps of money;

The two-year legal history, at the time of failure to reflect the way for posterity.

Buddhism is present in Vietnam, with the depth and rich history of more than 20 centuries, together with the people struggling to win the right to a self-reliant and independent Vietnam; has created a lifestyle "Vietnamese custom" beautiful, glorious for the Vietnamese race. Throughout the great contributions to the nation-building and defense of Buddhism, since the reign of King Thich Nhat Nam (542 - 603) opened the country's autonomy; to the Dinh (968 - 980) and Pre - Le (980 - 1009), Buddhism is recognized by the court as the national religion of the people; to the Ly (1010 - 1225) and the Tran Dynasty (1225 - 1400), Buddhism was further developed in social life. At the same time, it opens up all over the country, bringing happiness and joy to the whole people. Compassion is overwhelmed.

Buddhist religion is not religious.

The eternal power of wisdom.

"Buddhism has been living with Vietnamese people for more than twenty centuries, the cord has tightened Buddhism with the Vietnamese nation into an indissoluble mass." Buddhist thought has permeated the national spirit. Because of this intimate connection, the Vietnamese people consider Buddhism to be the religion of the ancestors, and Buddhism is ruined when the spirit of the nation is shaken, so to protect the national spirit, preserve the faith traditional threshold of the ancestors, Vietnamese themselves see the duty to protect Buddhism innocently.

The Buddha meditated meditation under the Bodhi tree for 49 days, when he achieved Enlightenment, he said: "Strange! All beings have the same enlightenment nature. There is no class with red blood, with salty tears. I was the Buddha became the Buddha will become. In the world of human history over 25 centuries, he called for "the elimination of the class, the equality of freedom for man". Shakyamuni said that he was the first person to lead mankind to take advantage of Equal Freedom, but today he has been forgotten as a god or lord, a superstitious monster that can not be understood. . How foolish and forget the source!

Keep in mind that the Absolute Freedom of the Absolute is the center of thought of the Buddha, in the Mahāyāna sūtras, it is stated that: "Great liberation, attained greatness until the Equality of Wisdom, equality, etc. "are all meanings, not just words but reality that can be attained, the eternal argument does not change.

Buddhism is the Way: "Freedom - the equality - the freedom".
