The greatness of the Buddha.

  

"If you want to see the noblest of human beings, look at the Emperor dressed in a beggar, that is the Buddha." His supernatural beauty is great among men.

The Buddha is a man of extraordinary special character, unique in the history of mankind. A European writer writes that:

"There is no place in the religious, religious and religious worlds where we can find such a brilliant teacher!" In the series of stars, he was the greatest, A number of scientists, philosophers, and culturalists have proclaimed him "the greatest man ever." The aura of this great teacher enlightens the world of suffering and darkness. , like the lighthouse guiding and enlightening humanity. " ( Buddhism under the Eyes of the Intellectuals )

I. WHAT IS BUDDHA?

Who is the Buddha? A question was asked over 25 centuries; Critical skepticism and criticism, and the earnest praise and praise of human beings in the Buddha, have so far been a source of inspiration. As Carl Jung, a psychologist, states: "Ever look your way is limited by what you have and are." So with different angles, people will have different emotions, views about the Buddha.

The Buddha's teaching comes from the experience of self-cultivation, another kind of experience with common common experiences. It is impossible to understand correctly the Buddha, as in the sutras, only the Buddha and the Buddha understand each other.

When the Buddha was still alive, his opponents often cried out, slandered him with trivial words or philosophical arguments, saying he was desirous of fame, he was the advocate of sabotage. life ( Magandiya Sutra ), he did not have the special ability of the saints ( Sutra ) for him to be a magical gift ( Sutra ). Besides the criticism, the praiseworthy praise is also very rich. The intellectuals of society often praised him, saying, " As he stands up, what is thrown down reveals what is hidden, shows the way to the lost, brings the light into  the  darkness. " ( Central Business). Though he was criticized or praised for his liberation, no agitation, no discontent, no joy. A non-Buddhist praised the Buddha:

"Wonderful, Gotama!" Evil Gotama! Even though Evangelist Gotama was opposed to a scandal, despite being attacked with accusations in conversation, skin color The author is still clear, the face is still happy as an A-la-main level sense. " ( Saccaka )

He is often referred to as the Master or the Healer because he shows everyone the path to liberation and he cures suffering for humanity.

Some of the suttas in the original sutra record interestingly the Buddha's claims about Himself. Here are some examples:

One day, on the way to Deer Park to transport the Dharma wheel, he met a Taoist named Upaka. The Taoist, the Dhamma Teacher, is very clear, the dancers' skin is clear and fresh, and the dharma, why do the dharma renounce the family life? Who is the dharma who propagates the teachings? The Buddha replied:

" Tathagata has overcome all,

Tathagata has smoothed everything.

Tathagata has overcome all the tied

As Lai has escaped all

As Lai has exhausted his mind to eradicate craving.

Got all the insight, Tathagata also called who is the teacher?

No one is the teacher of the Tathagata

Nobody stands equal to the Tathagata.

In this world, including the gods and the Brahma

No one can compare with Tathagata.

Indeed, the Tathagata is an Arahant in this world.

Tathagata is Supreme Master;

Only the Tathagata is the fullness, calm and pure.

Tathagata is coming to Kàsi to transport the French wheel between the blind world.

Tathagata will arise when the innocent empty. "

Upaka asked, "Is it right, my friend, that he is claiming to be an Arhat, a supreme power supreme?" The Buddha states:

"All the superiors who have conquered all their defilements are like the Tathagata, as the Tathagata has conquered, exterminating all evil things." "  (TBK Bible).

The Buddha clearly identified him as the one who conquered all the defilements, so he was the most noble in the world. This is the first statement about the absolute nobility of the Buddha for all beings, ma 蠳 au this statement has been generalized into the statement placed in the context of the symbol Birth: " Heaven Upper  heaven only the only " (In the sky only the Tathagata is the supreme). His life has proved that what he declared as true. On one occasion, there was a foreigner who wanted to come to the doctrine of the Buddha, because they heard that the Buddha was the one who overcame all contamination and achieved complete purity. They discussed each other and sent the followers to the Buddha for seven consecutive days to see if the Buddha was really as pure as the rumor was. Eventually, the person who was sent to supervise returned and reported that Satma Gotama was the perfect man in his sleep as well as his waking up to the smallest movements as he walked through a pool or he unloaded. cross dress up . . are full of holiness. ( Central Business )

Another time when criticized for the ability and purpose of the Buddha, after analyzing their mistakes, the Buddha taught:

"This sari putta, who wants to talk about me properly, should say like this: (Buddha is) a being is not si si dominant, was born life for the sake, for the happiness for them Born for love for life, for the benefit, for happiness, for peace for gods and human beings "( Su Su Sing , Kinh Kinh).

This statement speaks of the quality of a Buddha as perfect Wisdom (no-si) and loving kindness to save endless species.

II. THE BUDDHIST OF THE BUDDHIS

All the powers of the Buddha arise from His wisdom, that is, from the contents of the Supreme Being attained in the sense of Bodhisattva. One time a foreign Pagan named Vacchagotta asked the Buddha, "Lord Buddha, I hear people say that Gotama is the most intelligent, the most intelligent, he thinks he has complete knowledge. When we walk, when we stand, when we are asleep, when consciousness is always present and continuous.

Blessed are the things that people say so are true, do they slander the Blessed One? The Buddha replied that they said it was not what he said, it was slander. Thus the Buddha denied that he had a kind of wisdom that was always present and felt throughout the awakening as well as during sleep. Vacchagotta asked: So how do you say it? The Buddha taught that if you want to say right, you must say Sa Gotama is the level of three.

When we want to, we will remember many past lives, such as life, two lives ... to many past lives together with outlines and details. This Vacchagotta, if I want to, with pure celestial eyes, I see the living death of beings, the lowliness of the high, the beauty of the rough, the luck of the unfortunate ... by their actions . Vacchagotta, with the eradication of gonorrhea, or, in the present, with the enlightened mind, we reside unscathed liberated mind, liberated wisdom. Saying so is true about me. (The Three Sages of Vacchagotta)

Thus, Tam Minh: Tuc minh minh, Thiên minh, and Lau Minh minh is the content of realization of the Buddha. Especially only the Buddha has a full three, although on the path of training three is always considered the final achievement of an enlightened practitioner. This may be one of the differences between the Buddha and the disciple. The process of enlightenment begins:

"Divorce is not good law, evidence and meditation first, a state of bliss due to divorce, there is a range of quarters and four meditation and meditation and a state of bliss by birth, We are not empty, the internal static mind, the peaceful residence, mindfulness of mindfulness, the feeling of pleasure that the holy people call the discharge of meditation, witness and meditation third. I have felt before, witness and meditation fourth, not suffering, not discharge the net concept.

The Buddha and the disciples go through the four meditations, on the basis of the fourth meditation, the mind calm and nostalgic, easy to use, meditators can orientate to the object of the Six Gods, ultimate. This is the first route. This route is encouraged and very popular. Most teachers are in this direction. The second path is from the fourth meditation, passing through the non-boundary, which is beyond the imagination, the obstacle of thought. Orientation to nowhere is boundless and non-boundless compassion. Pass through continued proof and immoral state. Pass through the unconditioned and stay indigenous. Go through the possession of evidence and stay the idea of ​​Africa Non-thinking. Overcoming the Phi Phi idea of ​​thinking, living and Resident Evil Xu Jing. This is the three. This path passed by the Buddha. TheThe Sixth Sermon, The Bird's Sermon )

In the Theravadin scripture, there is no record of the saint who declares himself to have attained the Three Noble Truths. Often, they are introduced to Arahantship, Consecration, and the elimination of gonorrhea. In the Six Sutras, the Buddha teaches about the progress of a monk when he attains the fourth meditation.

"With calm mind, pure non-infectious, not afflictive, easy to use, stable, so calm, I lead the mind, mind to know the truth. This is the cause of suffering, this is the path of suffering, this is the path leading to the cessation of suffering. This is the gonorrhea, this is the cause of gonorrhea, this is illegal or eradicated, this is the path leading to smuggling or being eliminated. "

Therefore, it is necessary for the disciples to escape from the "illegal, smuggled and illegally smuggled" to achieve "the birth has been completed, the deed has done, the need to do, no longer retreat this state half." From there we can clearly see that the ability of the discipleship of the Sun is limited, and that the problem of attainment is not connected with the ability of divine powers, so we are not surprised to see him- It is said that the disciple of God is one of the disciples. The Buddha discourages disciples from entering the divine powers such as the Divine, the Divine, the mind, the net, and the celestial; She focused and encouraged the disciples to focus on the Ming to realize the ultimate goal, liberation of life and death. Spiritual abilities do not help a person who does not get rid of mental defilements.

The process of attainment of the Buddha is a breakthrough chain, surpassing all trials by experiment. All agnostic dharma pass, achievement of the immovable. Particularly in the states of the four meditations, there arises a feeling of happiness, even in the three senses there is a sense of happiness, but these feelings exist without distracting one's mind. ).

For the gods he has gradually attained the status of God, God, through communication before he became a Buddha. On the night of his death, he witnessed the last three divine beings in the order of Tuc network, Thien Lan and Lau communicated. The Buddha said:

"When we have not witnessed the practice, we have tried to practice the five methods: We have been practicing Satan with the Criteria of Satisfaction, Determination of determination and determination, Determination of determination, Increasing diligence, depending on the direction of any legal measures, we can attain it "( Tang Chi  II).

There is no dharma that obstructs the Buddha, there is no Dharma that the Buddha does not know clearly, so the disciple often called him His Holiness.

III. CONCLUDE

On the occasion of the Buddhist calendar of Buddhism in 2002, some words about the great, the

The pure realization of the Buddha only to pay homage to the Buddha and grateful for the birth of the way to liberate humanity. With the finite language of life, one can not praise the greatness of the Buddha. Ananda also talked about the greatness of the Buddha:

"Brahmin, the Exalted One, is the one who makes the way up the road that has never been before, to reveal the path that has never been known before, which speaks of a path that has never been spoken before. is the level of understanding, know the direction and skill of the director. "

To end, borrow the words of a Muslim poet, Abdul Atahiya praising the Buddha:

"If you want to see the noblest of human beings, look at the Emperor dressed in a beggar, that is the Buddha." His supernatural beauty is great among men.  (Buddha under the eyes of the intellectuals). 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.3/6/2018.
