Note: Buddha appeared in the life of the Buddha is manifest.

Born due to ignorance as a father and motherly desire, so beings exist in life is the existence of karma and the power of karma (karma) directed. And the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas are different, they are intellectual father and maternal compassion, their existence in life is due to compassion and the spirit of salvation that beings exist.

What is the birth of karmic birth? Be born from infinite to the present by ignorance and craving for mental compassion, making three karmic vocation to create so many sin. Therefore, the present life must be based on the good and evil business that life in one of the six, to return what he created in the past. 

In other words, beings always possess kamma and regard kamma as the most loved person in their life, this problem in the Nirvana Sutra says:  "All beings carry their karmas. as a legacy, as a hereditary, as a fugitive, as a refuge. It is because each one's karma is different so there is an eccentricity between beings "  (1).

Buddhas, Bodhisattvas appear in life completely different from ordinary; They are born in life not by karma, but by the will to manifest. They are the degree to achieve pure love without the three pure karmic speech purity. They have eliminated either the three or the Tran or or ignorance, or have fulfilled the three positions are the most intelligent, the racial and the racial, the three have the dharma body, Introduce yourself and incarnate body, achieve the ultimate Nirvana scene. But with the infinite wisdom and the infinite love of beings, they did not dwell in the Nirvana dimension of Dharma, but skillfully applied the means, willingly manifested in the mortal world to teach beings

Buddhas, Bodhisattvas come to life only one wish is to save all beings are diving in the ocean of birth and death to the shore of liberation Nirvana. No matter how impatient they are, they still persevere do not rotate their minds, never leave the concept of salvation beings. Wishes for the birth of his firm as alpine, deeds benefit the celestial depths as an whole, and only job of his appearance on earth is Avatamsaka Sutra describes as follows: 

"Where 
sneezing of the sea ​​Need to be born in the sea of ​​the celestial sphere Long Nirvana "(2) 

(Dang net screen of the law of the Great Hall all over the body of death) Gan catch all people, heaven, dragon Bring back to the shore Nirvana ).

Buddhas, Bodhisattvas appear in life to do away with all the suffering writhing both material and spiritual beings. Their conduct in the life is to alleviate all the heat of the enlightenment enlightenment is burning beings, is to relieve the impasse of defilement in a great way to lead to clear communication. life. 

And the beings are quite the opposite, the appearance of beings is the basic factor to contribute to create more suffering in the social community. Because the existence of beings is the existence of greed, the existence of the hatred of the opposition ... piling up the society a burden. Therefore, the appearance of every being not only causes suffering for oneself but also causes suffering for the whole community.

By the force of attraction, beings must be reborn in their lives to return the sins they have created in the past, or the compassionate suffering that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas present in the world, The coming and going between Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and beings are completely different. This in the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva prayer, the divine nature of the heaven of the first, the response between the devil and the Brahmin, Devil King Devoted to the image of prisoners to show Clear scene and come full of the self of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas or entangled among the commonplace for Brahmins.

According to the Devil King, life is like a burdensome labor of suffering, in which there are two classes of people in the prison, but the status and purpose of each person is quite different. The first person only for beings because of causing crime should enter the custody to return the sins he created. Second class only for the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas do not create crime, but because compassionate compassion of all kinds of beings, voluntarily went into the prison to save people. On the other hand, sentient beings get used to punishment and gradually get used to not wanting to escape, a Buddha, the Bodhisattva voluntarily go to life save beings, then they go away. 

"Honor the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva 
saints The holy people come to life Not with the sound of crying
Which by the great vow of enlightenment Come out with empty hands 
Do not lead the child Without the graffiti The only child comes 
to Ta grandmother by ignorance ignites Sink in the water to die Child 
should confess to be the guest debt ... "  (3)

Buddha Shakyamuni is also the Buddha, who has become a Buddha from infinite life but with endless compassion, he contemplates the suffering and death of all kinds of sentient beings that more than twenty five centuries ago. , has appeared in the realms of evil she salvation salvation. He practiced the Dharma Collective (one of the four filiation), ie the market as a normal life, born as a normal human, whose parents have a wife and children enjoy life and leave life, The Buddhist practice, turning the law of rotation of beings and enter Nirvana. His actions before and after birth in life, we must know that is the means of showing his birth.

The means of manifesting the Buddha's birth in this life, in the most sutras, is the Mahāyāna sutras established. As the United States Dau Dieu, products such as Lai Lai sixteenth volume has said:  "Good man death! All the worlds such as the gods of humanity and Arahants ... who also said that this life Thich Ca The Sun left the palace they prefer to go to Da Da not far away, sitting in Bodh Gaya that is insight. But good man! Tathagata has become a Buddha so far has many hundreds of millions of period.

Good man death! Tathagata clearly declared to you how many of these nations were or not to be dusted off and brought to dust, and then a speck of dust made a period, the Tathagata came to the Buddha This is more than the countless numbers of countless hours. From then until now, Tathagata is often at the national level of this Kham Nhan that teaches the French teachings, again in countless other countries that lead to benefit the species. 

Good man death! Anyone come to the Tathagata as the eyes of the Buddha, monks, mind, concentration, knowledge of their bases, or slow, depending on how the teacher should be. In each country, Tathagata self speaks different titles, age is small, again said will enter. As Lai also used the means to say that the Chief Justice of the essence makes people happy also.

Good man death! As Lai see beings preferred small teachings, virtue thin heavyweights, because those people that said that Tathagata young people have left the family and newly acquired wisdom, but actually Tathagata has become Buddha So far as far as said, just because the means of religious beings for them to enter the insight of the Buddha should say the Buddha recently. 

As Lai does not actually enter the kill but declared to be eliminated, as Lai used the means to educate beings. Why? If the Tathagata survive long term, the fragile, not afraid of planting the root of the good, the poor poor, fall into the net wrong thoughts. Those who if the Tathagata often exist without the loss of contempt, liberal, boring, sluggish, not born as the idea of ​​Lai is not reborn psychologically revered " (4). 

In the Mahaparinibbana, the fourth product of the seventh, near the moment of entering Nirvana, because of compassion for beings, the Buddha once again set the matter, He was the Buddha who became Buddha from eternity, This volunteer in the realm of evil she, teachings of beings. 

"Hey Ca lettuce! As Lai has long lived in the Nirvana, in the immeasurable miracle, in the realms of the Great Heaven, the memory of the sun the moon, hundreds of memories. Mausoleum has much talk.

Or in the titular yarn nirvana display Nirvana without end to enter Nirvana, or in the fetus to enter the mother to make parents think that his son gave birth, but the body of the Tathagata here completely not from where craving for harmony. As Lai has left the craving for countless lives, the body of the Tathagata is the Dharma body because of the world that depends on the mother in the market. 

Hey Ca lettuce! In the garden of Lumbini, appearing from the mother Ma Gia birth, just born to go east seven steps, saying that: "In the sky, people, tu tu, I is the noble More than that. 

Parents and the sky are both afraid and happy, is that rare, that people say is young. But the true nature of the Tathagata has left here from countless lives. The body of the Tathagata is the flesh body is not flesh, blood vessels, tendons, bones, spinal cord join.

Because depending on the way of birth of beings that make the child, going south seven steps is the market want to do immeasurable filling for beings; going through the West seven steps is the body is the last body is not born again; going through the north seven steps is the market has passed away the birth and death of the realms; going through the East seven steps is the guru's vision for sentient beings, going through four directions alongside seven steps is the end of the defilements and four ghosts that Tathagata; go up seven steps is not exposed to pollution as nothing; go down the seven steps is the sun shining drought law to extinguish the hell fire for the happy beings peacefully.
After the birth of the match after birth seven days shave hair, everyone said that Tathagata is the new hair shaved hair. Actually all heaven, people, ghost, Brahman, brahmin no one can see the general of the Tathagata, let alone someone with the knife to shave his hair. In innumerable past life as before Tathagata has shaved off the beard, then to want to follow the worldly way as Lai Lai shave hair. 

... Then in the study of literacy, martial arts, occupation ... the truth from countless past Tathagata was completely clear all these subjects. See all three realms no one has the ability to become a teacher of the Tathagata, because they want to depend on the world that the market. Therefore called the Tathagata, the application, the main variable.

In the realm of worldly match that the Crown Prince, everyone is seen Tathagata is the Prince son of King Sri Soudhothana and Queen Ma Gia, enjoy the joy in the scene of education, the truth in countless generations of Tathagatas have left the fun and education ... "  (5). 

Or in another passage in the Flower Adornment, the Buddha also speaks of the meaning of manifestation and his entering into Nirvana:

"Because for all beings born extremely happy heart Tathagata sudden appearance in the world. Because beings want to initiate extreme attachment, so Buddhas manifest Nirvana naturally. Actually the Buddha is permanent. When the Buddha was born, when the Buddha's death, it is entirely due to heavy or light karma. Light beings that see the Buddha completely in the world, the heavyweight beings see Buddhists disappear "  (6).

The appearance of the Buddha in his life is like the appearance of the sun of wisdom capable of tearing the darkness of ignorance that reigns over beings; It is like a boat to save the living beings dive in the ocean of birth and death; Just as Ma ni Bao Chau gave all the warmth to the ten kinds of living beings are hungry poverty.

The image of the Buddha appears in life as clearly as the mission of saving sentient beings, highlighted in the Lotus Sutra, the seventh product. He was the ruler, the leader, the only teacher guided five hundred people to Nirvana. He is the level of wisdom is boundless, has a great mind of great compassion, is a skillful use of all the means in a skilful way when the people on the road was too tired, there are guys The birth of the rotten fall, which turns out to be the faction to lead them to cheer the next passage to go to the ultimate ultimate Nibbana is the Supreme Bodhicitta. 

Enlightenment depends on whether or not the  "legal means of marketing" Of Buddhas, bodhisattvas are the realm of impossible thought. This world beyond all understanding and reflection of ordinary people. Only the buddhas, the Bodhisattvas, have attained enlightenment and often practice this great virtue. 

Thus, when it comes to  "the practice of means of the Buddhas, bodhisattvas - the Dharma on the means of manifesting in life"  in the Mahayana Mahayana Dharma Convent, instructing with the Bodhisattva Tri Thang, should be careful when talking about the dharma manifested in his life of miraculous birth for all beings. Because if beings are good, thin karmic, and especially no Mahayana seed when listening to others talk about  "the practice of means of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas" Not only do they not believe, but also the defilement of the mind of infinite love. As in the Mahayana Dhamma media said:  "Wise Victory! As Lai said the means, then the means need to keep secret. Why? Because this business is not the place of the bar, the Buddha, the case is low-lying real estate can believe. The means of transport is not their place, not the life. Only the Bodhisattva is said or learned the means of this. 

Hey! For example, at night, lighted up the big lights to see all the objects in the house. Likewise, the Bodhisattva hear this business and then see all the Bodhisattva's conduct, in France this is where I have to learn. Speaking of all the work of the Tathagata, the Bodhisattva has come to the shore. People come to work Bodhisattva do not take it hard.

Hey! Now we will talk about the person who wants to be bodhisattva, that is, the good women and the good news women heard too many hundred thousand by the week of preaching this business, should go there to hear. Why. If the Bodhisattva is heard in this means, it is transparent, in all except the legal sense of remorse "  (7). 

Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha appeared in the life of more than twenty-five centuries as the Buddha himself manifested. He is the Buddha has become a Buddha from countless past lives, but with love infinite beings and ambitious saving beings endless  beings (beings of self-indulgence Bodhi, hell can not succeed Buddha - organ) He used the skillful means to show life, and enlightenment life is suffering, not, impermanent, not self, the market of monastic practice, market achievements of the Buddha, to transfer Ultimate rotation of the countless beings. 

At this point, someone questioned: "According to the spirit of the project, the Buddha was a Buddha who has become a Buddha from countless past lives, the inheritance of reincarnation into the realms of evil she diminished beings. Thus, only the Buddhas are Buddhists from countless past lives, and we are ordinary people, even if the current efforts to cultivate can not become a Buddha. If this happens, it will be contrary to the view of Mahayana Buddhism as "all beings are capable of becoming Buddhas." If we practice but can not become a Buddhist to practice. Do not practice hard just want to enjoy heavenly blessings? "

With this question, we ask: In the spirit of the topic, we establish the problem of Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha has become a Buddha from eternity, this life is to reincarnate in the realm of Ta This is not to say that the Buddha only Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Buddhists from countless past lives, but we live life in spite of efforts. Monk can not become a Buddha. 

Secondly, the view  "The Buddha appeared in life is the Buddha's manifestation"  is that we go to the sutras, especially Mahayana sutras, to prove, not personal opinions. . By the way, we would like to quote one of the many passages in the Mahayana Sutra of this view so that we can make him arise.

"Hey Ca lettuce! After the Tathagata into Nirvana seven hundred years, ghosts Three Week will hinder and ruin the Dharma. For example, a foreman hunter wears; Also, the monk Ba Weekly pretending to be a monk, Bhikkhu ni, her grandmother, Uu di. It is also the body of the momentum, momentum jaw, A na jaw, Arahant and transform into Buddha. Mara brought the relatives of smuggled food to the body to smuggle the wrong Dharma. The period of the Three Kings to damage the Dharma, it will be said that the ancient Bodhisattva in the sky of the Best, then the birthplace of the White King in Kapilavastu City, the craving for love, harmony of parents Sexuality that has a body, never had anyone born in human beings that are revered by the heavenly realms. And said that the past as suffering alms to the wife and son of the country now to become a Buddha, so should be worshiped gods and gods.

Hey Ca lettuce! If any business law says that Tathagata has become a Buddha since long ago to save sentient beings, so now it is the Buddha, and because depending on the world, there is a parent, the place where craving for harmony. birth Know this law is the truth is the Tathagata said. 
If anyone believes in the ghost is the property of the ghost, by anyone who can follow the law of the Buddha is the Bodhisattva. 

If there is no place to say that should not be born in all four Tathagata are seven steps, must know this is the word of ghost. Who depends on the ghost is the property of the ghost. 

If said Tathagata new born, the four directions are seven steps, which is Tathagata means market, to know this is the law of Tathagata said. Those who follow the Buddha's teachings, that time is the Bodhisattva "  (8).

Shakyamuni Buddha has become a Buddha from countless past lives. The reason that he achieved the merit of the mystery is because he has tried to practice no regrets, prolonged many lives, many bodhisattvas recent achievements. We if today the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva bodhisattva today, deciding the future will accomplish the Buddha as he is no different. 

The point of view "Buddha Shakyamuni appeared in his life is the Buddha's presence" also to break the two paths that Buddhists often suffer. One is psychological self-excess, two psychologically too pretentious. 

There are some who say that "The Buddha is far superior to many religious life to achieve new achievements, we are the poor quality of the nature does not dare to wish to become a Buddha. This effort to cultivate only wish to bless the next heavenly blessing is very precious. " 

With self-esteem inferior to the low status, self-e ourselves can not be capable of becoming a Buddha, practicing this life just to enjoy the blessings of the next life is the wrong way. Those people do not know that in the Mahayana scriptures, especially the Lotus Sutra, the Buddha taught:  "All beings have the Buddha nature, all beings have the ability to become Buddha . "

That means that all of us, even now, carry many karmic obstacles, or are in despair in the sea of ​​birth and death, but if they know how to practice, to follow the teachings of the Buddha can become a Buddha. Thus, with the view that  "Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha has become a Buddha from countless past lives, this life depends on living in order to educate beings."  This class of beings are thought to be self-deprecating. On the other will arise the idea that  the same Buddha as Shakyamuni, also in the pool of birth and death, but by his effort to practice Buddhism has become a Buddha from countless lives. I should make a vow to practice the future will also become a Buddha as he is no different ". Thanks to this thought, the Bodhi mind of the self-inflicted subordinate is launched, the belief in the ability to become his Buddha is founded, the Bodhisattva deeds will be built, the problem of achievement of the Buddha only it's time. 

Secondly, there are some people who say:  "The Buddha teaches that all beings have Buddha-nature, they are capable of becoming Buddhas, so beings are Buddhas, we are Buddha now."  When they fall into the dreamy, wild arrogance, they do not arise bodhicitta, do not diligently make vows, do not attempt evil deeds ... They do not know that they have the ability to Buddha, but with the condition that they have to try to practice, otherwise life throughout life is still rolling around birth and death, because  "Tu Duc has started, Tanh Duc new."

Therefore, when establishing point  "Shakyamuni Buddha is Buddha, who founded Buddhism from countless lifetimes, this life admitted voluntarily manifested in the life to teaching living beings",  press here of people have thought arrogant goose "The Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha has been born  of immeasurable incarnation, and this life is a manifestation of the Buddha's life. fatigue We have the Buddha nature but if not trying to practice cultivation can not become a Buddha . Thanks to that idea, their mind Bodhisattva is born, the Bodhisattva vows are founded, the Bodhisattva work will be built, the perfect outcome.

Also to break the two paths of dangerous harms of beings, self-inflicted excessively and wildly extravagant, and to clarify the problem.  "Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha has been immeasurable This life is due to the aspiration of birth that is manifested in life, " Thien Thai Tri Chi Master (561-632), the birth of Thien Thai has published the theory of  " Six Buddhas "  as follows. 

Reason Buddha: Only for all beings who have Buddha Tanh. 

Buddha's Name: The Buddha's name in the suttas by seeing the sutras. 

Quan Buddha's teachings: beings in accordance with the teachings of religious practice on the fruits in the Ngũ. In this position is known as the Buddha.

4. Similar to the Buddha: beings in accordance with the teachings of Buddhism developed wisdom similar to the Buddha, similar to the results in the Dhyana, this status is called the Buddha's equivalent. 

5. The evidence of the Buddha: beings in accordance with the teachings of spiritual practice, breaking a part of ignorance, proof of a part of the Dharma body, similar to the position from the Pillar to the throne, Bodhisattva level This is called the Buddha's witness. 

6. Salvation of the Buddha: beings clean practice ignorance of fullness of consciousness, similar results of magic, this status is called Save the Buddha (9). 

Thus, beings and Buddhas are equal on the legal nature, but completely different in the face of legal. Beings that have Buddha nature but must try to cultivate the Buddha Tanh can manifest, results can be similar to the Buddha.

It means that all beings have the Buddha's Reason, but must do the effort to practice, go through the process of developing the Buddha's name, the Buddha's teaching, the same Buddha, evidence of the Buddha, finally reached to the position of saving the Buddha. The Buddha has been through the process of development, the work has been completed, the bi-directional Buddha song from countless lives, this reincarnation of the reincarnation into the world of immeasurable immorality beings

Believing in the ability to become your own Buddha is the first necessary condition to enter the Buddhist home. Therefore, every Buddhist we need to establish this important belief. The practice of practice, Bodhisattva vows to spread the three A long lifetimes, although the circumstances of miserable miserable still can not change the aspiration. So that we can achieve the full original aspiration, can attain Supreme Bodhi, can implement the virtue. "The means of life in the benefit of countless human beings. "As Buddha Shakyamuni was doing, the past Buddhas did. 

In short, Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha has become the Buddha from countless past lives, this inherited reincarnation of reincarnation into the realms of evil she teaches all living beings.

This is a necessary point that we all need to recognize before we step into the work of understanding the secret, the extraordinary magic ... in every action every word of every thought for eighty years his seat.
