On Buddha's birthday, we often hear about the image of the new Buddha born seven steps, hands pointing to the earth, said: "Heavenly allies, sole ego," the majority of people memorized like that .

The day before I was young, there was a Buddhist asked: "White Master, usually verse must have four verses, why this verse has two sentences, two more where?" The only way to make an appointment to find, because I actually only two sentences.

Later ,  I began to recite  A-jing, I was really startled ignorance. In  A-junction  there are four correct sentences, not just two sentences. Those four words in the original text is:

Heavenly people,

The unique fall.

Necessarily,

Birth, aging, sickness and death.

These four verses express the profound meaning of the Buddha's words when he was born. We will see where Buddhism and Theravada Buddhism developed. Recently, the Buddhists asked, "Buddhism is an anatta, why did the Buddha have a heavenly hand, a hand in the earth saying" the only one, "so he promoted the fall, Does this conflict with the doctrine of not-self? "

That is the problem that all the fraternities need to master. Looking back, I see clearly, in terms of the four verses that with the spirit of the original lead four full verses: "Heavenly galaxies, unique solipsist, necessarily world, birth disease death," that is. The sky is the only sky above me. Why are we over? Because in all the world, we have passed away from the old dead disease. Buddha than all the world because He passed away from being old sick death. That is more in the original spirit. So that statement does not have to promote the self.

Why do not Vietnamese Patriarchs use all four sentences, using two sentences only, what does it mean? You do not read through the verse, if we do not study carefully can be suspected at this point. Because the spirit of Buddhism goes straight to the dharma body, not the self of the body. It should be said that "Heavenly all-celestial, exclusive" is only for the French fraternity.

As we know, the fall of the four aggregates of these aggregates is impermanent birth, no meaning, so the teachings say no self. The selflessness is the fourfoldness of the five aggregates, but the dharma body is immortal, it is above all. So the Buddha said "Duy alone fall. In the  Kim Vang  there is a verse "Obviously, the fall, the sound of the bridge falls, the mind of the Tao, the imagination of the Tathagata", that is, if you use the sight Ta, the sound of Ta bridge, that person I can not see Tathagata. So what is this jinglish term for self? Falls of the French should not be able to use the form, the sound that bridge. If anyone uses the sound form that the dharma body, it is evil.

The development of self-improvement is the fall of the dharma body. In the spirit of Buddhism, we must cultivate the Dharma body, new birth and death. From there we see that the spirit of Theravada Buddhism and the spirit of Buddhism developed in different places. Theravada Buddhism aimed at the point that the Buddha passed the birth of beings should say He over all. Buddhist Development focuses on our dharmakaya, which is not without destroying, so to speak. Understanding this can answer the above questions of the Buddhists without being embarrassed.

The birth of the Buddha is recorded in many classics as a myth. The Great Books of the coast (of the A-junction), Business Village (College) wrote the same: "When Bodhisattva was born, he walked seven steps, under each foot hatched a. The lotus, to the seventh step, stopped, one pointed to the sky, one pointed to the ground, He declared: Heavenly people, the only one.

Only the latter part of the statement of the Bodhisattva in the two above is different. Beijing  e n the coast of  record: "Bodhisattva at birth by the mother's right hip that out, specialized concept not scattered. He came from the hips, came to the earth, did not need a supporter, took seven steps, looked at all four directions, and raised his hands to say: In heaven on earth, only the precious one. I will save sentient beings from birth, old age, illness, death. "(Translated by Tue Tue Sy).

Also deal  A. Who you  write: "Bodhisattva was born, He stands on two legs, facing north seven steps, a white parasol cover on. He looked in all directions, loud as the king said the following: I am the highest in the world! I am the supreme being! I am the highest in the world. This is the last life, no longer have to reincarnate in this life anymore "(HT.Thich Minh Chau translation).

If based on the context of the Buddha's sayings in doing  A. Who you  are from the "I" (ego) is the only Buddha. The Buddha declared him the supreme, the supreme, the most noble in the world. This life is the last of His life, after this life He no longer reborn back to the world again. That is not a conceited, self-righteous, but truthful statement. "Heavenly celestial celestial uniqueness" means that in heaven on earth only I is a respectable respect. The word "unique" indicates the only revered place, only one without a second person, this Buddha also affirmed in many sutras, not only in this statement, would say later.

There are many people understand that "Duy alone" is only the foot of the self is precious or only the great self is precious. Someone else said, "The uniquely unique religion" is the only self that embraces the world from the heavens to the other realms. In my opinion, it is not a good idea to just interpret the meaning of the Buddha's words, and I think it is not wrong to base them in the Theravāthī scriptures.

The Buddha is an enlightened being and attains the truth, attains the ultimate Bodhicitta, without any sentient being in the present moment capable of doing so. He is the master of heaven, the one who has the wisdom and the virtue, the one without the transcendent, the most respected in the world, the worthy being offered, the self in the three realms It is only in the place of honor that there is no one else.

In the  rise in costs b in  I, the Buddha had determined: "This event does not occur, the monks, without being in a world with two Arhat Enlightenment (Buddhist) , not before, not after, appear once. This event does not occur. And this event occurs, the monks, in a world where only an anahapatical Chief of anatta appears, this event occurs ". Thus it is possible to say that the place of the Buddha in this present life in the Taisha world is unique.

Also in business  Increase in  the  I, the Buddha explained why he was peerless, who is unique, this is the real truth of the Buddha said: "A person, the monks, while export There is no one in the world, no companion, no comparison, no analogy, no peer, peer, the highest among two-legged species. One person is? It is the Tathagata, the Arahantship of the Chief of the sense-angle, this person when appearing in life is a person who is not two, no companion, no comparison, no similar, no peer , no one equates, equal degree of victory, level of victory between two legs ".

The Middle Sutra   III, the Buddha states clearly the reason why he is unique, unique: "There can not be a monk, this brahmana, fully accomplished, full All the dharmas that Arahant level Chief of the sense of achievement. Brahmin, the Exalted One is a way to arouse the path that has not been revealed before, to make known the path that has never been spoken before. And here, the disciples are the religious and the executive, will achieve the results. Because of that, the Buddha is a supreme supreme.

This is a fact that sentient beings must admit, the assertion of his "unique selflessness" is not self-honored. He has eradicated all negativity or defilement, then there is a pride here. 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.3/9/2018.
