"Hey monks  monks ,  the ocean  only a  single  is salty, so  the teachings of  the Tathagata  only a  single  of liberation" - 

Compared to the  multitude of beings  living on  earth  ,  humanity  is only a very small part, so being born as a human is not easy. But  maintaining  a  whole life  is more difficult because of being old, sick, dying,  anxious ,  depressed , suffering, disappointed ... Many new born people are dead,   more unhappy , very who must drag a tragic life   because of disability or  poverty . However,  among the rest, not everyone deserves to be a   real person . They live  cruelly,  cruel ,  perverted , selfish  and  ignorant are  no different from  beasts . It is the  Confucius who must complain: " Vi nhan nan".  Thus was born as humans  we  need to live  a life  how to live with  meaning , of  ethics , from broccoli  to  the  perfection . But in  the world,  there are hundreds and thousands of philosophies and  religions  to  improve  people,  but only a few teachings possibly worth calling  the right path ; while  the majority  are  superstitious  or leads  people  going into  lust  dark. A  proven  concrete  is today something philosophy is bringing youth into the  path  perverted , depraved, while many religions  have made some quite crowded in the  generation of  former  slaves  sacrifice, fear  demons God  for not promoting  the power of an   authentic person . Finally, it  is difficult to meet the Buddha or the  sages born, because Buddha  was a great teacher, a great  revolutionary  break  shackles  slave  of the  spirit  outside and of the hearts  of greed,  hatred ,  delusion  intrinsic to  raise  people  up row  holiness . His  teachings have a   clear  purpose of enlightenment .All of his  extraordinary efforts   since abandoning   the king's  life became  an  ascetic hermit until   at winning  satanic  that the level  Omniscient  only for one  purpose  only , namely open market for  beings  path  of liberation  from  ignorance craving  and giving them a  happy life  bliss .

So  we  try  to understand  the content   of the Buddha 's  liberating doctrine  , to  confirm  what is the  true path  to lead sentient beings out of the river enchanted by suffering.

When asked  "Which way to Nirvana" ,  the Buddha  replied :  "That is gender, concentration, wisdom".

The precepts are not  the commandments set by a  priest  to force  believers to  obey him. In  Buddhism , gender in a negative sense   is to  eliminate  previous  unwholesome habits   and  prevent  evil from causing it later; In  a  positivesense, to develop good things that are already available and create more good things that are not yet available. Gender is like  a bridle, whereby a horse trainer teaches a wild horse to  become mature . Also, gender is  a prerequisite  for keeping mind Vivid, so in the sutra says:  "The power of life".

When the precepts are  properly exercised   , the mind  is relatively  less  disturbed  and if kept on a meditation object   , the mind will be  calm ,  free from desire , to become  pure . Staying  in   concentration meditation will be pure,  lucid ,  solid and strong. These are the   essential conditions for intellectual development   as in the teaching of  "Enlightenment and wisdom" . When the mind has been  calm ,  clear  and  clear awareness  through  meditation ,  vipassana insight (vipassana)  will promote by which  we  can  intuitively be  the truth  or true nature of  beings . This is  the  ultimateknowledge that  leads to  complete liberation  .

Man  is a collection of  five aggregates : form, feeling, perception, volition , and consciousness. All five  elements  are in  a state  of change ,  insecurity  and no  reality . But because of  ignorance  obscures ,  we  do not see  phenomenal  world right with  true minister  of it.

The Buddha  taught:  "Whether there are Buddhas  appearing  in  the world  or not,  this  obvious truth  ( impermanence , suffering ,  selflessness ) still  governs all  things . That is the  truth  that  Tathagata  has  realized and  sensed. realization and  publication , teaching,  says the theory , demonstration, implementation and analysis market makes others  perceive to be "  ( Anguttara Nikaya - Increase Expenses ).

The Buddha  appeared  in  the world  to reveal to the  beings  the way  of liberation  from the cycle of  samsara  (samsāra). He taught a  doctrine  only  is suffering and free from suffering.

In The Word of the Buddha,  Venerable  Nyanatiloka  explained the  word misery as follows:

"The word  suffering not  only to  describe  a  painful  body or  feeling  discomfort of  spirit  but also  includes  everything that can create  suffering  or suffered misery.  Truth  of Suffering teaches that because material  impermanence  that all forms  of pleasure, whether  to heaven  or  paradise  were being  transformed  and destroyed, and all  forms of  existence so  make sure to bring the germ  discontent , suffering pain".

Because  suffering  to  people  new  efforts to  seek  pleasure without knowing that you will be pleasure  scam  betrayed then as  seeking  pleasures  people  increasingly  frustrated ; and so they  immerse themselves  in a  deep depression . So according to  the Buddha , the desire for pleasure ( craving ) is  the cause  of all suffering.

In the Samyutta sutra   teaches that:

"No one can measure what was at the beginning of the round of  rebirth , and from where  beings  begin life. There are certain things  that they had been  misfortune  of life and death  because  of ignorance  and craving".

One day in the land of  Kitogama ,  Buddha  taught  Venerable  Ānanda  and  increasing them  , saying,  "Since no awareness  are four  truths  that the people and  the Tathagata  was  wandering  in the  samsara  since immeasurable  life so far . This tributary  Pi parade , four  truth  what is it? that is the suffering,  cause  of suffering,  ending  the suffering and the path  taken to  terminate  the suffering. But now, the people and  the Tathagata  has realization ,  enlighten  those truths  , and so  we  have  ended the  cycle of reincarnation "(Mahā Parinibbāna).

Also in business on,  Buddha  insisted that anyone who  practiced  according to  the truth  that He has  practiced  and realized  it  definitely will  get rid of  birth and death and  suffering.

"Tathagata has taken himself as a  refuge  for himself. Behold  , monks , be  diligent ,  mindful  and  clean . Please rule your mind with  wisdom . Those who live  diligently  in   this dharma will  escape  samsara  and  end  suffering ".

Those are the last teachings   before the Buddha  's  death , reminding  us of  the  ultimate goal  of  Buddhism  as liberation .

The Buddha  set the  example  of a patient  patient and  diligent teacher  . His teachings like lighthouses guiding  us , who are being swept away by stormy between pools  of reincarnation , on the shore  of liberation  in a  safe .

Living beings  exist  in  the world  with a  miserable disease  . But  the Buddha , a  physician  perfect , after diagnosis circuit,  find the  conditions and  causes of  the disease that he only presented  detailed  cures,  miracles  which he had painstakingly  searched  in the  20 a-tang- one hundred thousand  great lives  and treat yourself in a spiritual way  . There is only one  condition  that patients must  try to  follow  the  treatment That is to soon  get rid of  the strict disease. He graciously  advised him before leaving that life:  "Verily, this lettered  monks ,  the Tathagata  remind you: The  compounded is  impermanent , be  diligent  not to have distractions" (Handa Dani, bhikkhave, ānantayāmi vo: "Vaya dhammo sankhārā, appamādena sampādetha").

The path  of liberation  that  the Buddha  has  realized  and taught  include  the  Four Noble Truths :

-  Noble Truths :  beings  on  earth  living in  misery

-  Noble Truth :  Suffering  was caused by  ignorance  craving

-  Kill the Empire :  Ignorance  craving  can be eradicated by  the middle way .

-  True Path :  The path  that includes:  Satipatthana ,  quad primary needs ,  iddhipada ,  the five senses ,  the five forces , interior enlightenment  and  the Eightfold Path .

Satipatthana  help  practitioners  develop  mindfulness  and  sense provinces , two  elements  necessary  to clearly see  the truth  or the real nature of  impermanence ,  suffering ,  selflessness  of  beings .

Amendment should  be four things  diligently  so that  the practitioner  can  eradicate  the evil methods  and develop friendly France .

Iddhipada  four  factors  promoting the  capability  spirit , especially  psychic  transformation , helping  the practitioner progress  hurry  more quickly on their way  voluntarily  and  goods of  all beings .

The five senses  are the five  basic conditions for  attaining  enlightenment ,  understanding the  truth .

By developing  the five senses  that  the practitioner  may be  contingent force  that is  the power  of  faith ,  diligence , mindfulness ,  concentration  and  wisdom .

Interior enlightenment  is the seven  elements  help  practitioners  enlightened  Bodhi  rooftop location:  Mindfulness,  scout law ,  diligence , joy,  equanimity , and discharge.

All the above measures are summarized  once  again in  the Eightfold Path ,  the path  the only  help  being  liberated  from birth and death and  rebirth .

Dhammapāda Sutra   teaches:

"The road is the most noble  Eightfold Path ,  the truth  most noble is  the Four Noble Truths ... that  way  only , no  road that leads into the  knowledge pure . Please  take the  path  that, to soon  get rid of  all the  ghosts  of the Maou Island ".

Perversion  of  Mara  here within  damnation  suffering customs  or  defilements  craving  that can only  Eightfold Path New  eradicate  it. Beyond  Buddhism  We can  hardly  find  where  the middle path  is presented in  such a  clear way. The Buddha  identified with the  pagan  Subhadda pagan that:

"Behold, Subhadda, in  which law  does not have  eight Saints , there is no first (four saints) ..., second ..., third ..., the fourth Sa-mon. This Subhadda In  any law,  there are  eight Saints  , there are the first ..., the second ..., the third ..., the Fourth Disciple, This Subhadda, in   this law, has  eight Saints . .. if the  male monks  live righteously, then this life will not be absent from Arahantship (Mahā Parinibbāna sutta).

Here  we have  to try to  question  the meaning  of liberation  according to  Buddhism  ? Freed  under  Buddhism  is not to be saved by Christ  Almighty  that is cut off the  bondage  of  negativity  (greed, hatred and delusion) or of  the aggregates .

About  the  nature of nature is  often called the  nature  of liberation,  ie  the  pure  nature  of the Buddhas and the  Saints. The Dharmakaya  of the Buddhas and  saints  includes five parts:  gender, concentration, wisdom,  liberation  and liberation of knowledge .  One of the  kindness  immeasurable  divine  Omniscient  is  pure virtue  that is virtuous  liquidity pure  absolute , not  fluctuate  before any  circumstances Come on. That virtue  is often  described  under seven  aspects :

1) Purification  (sīlavisuddhi). 
2) Pure mind  (cittavisuddhi). 
3) Pure mind  (ditthivisuddhi). 
4) Suspicious passage  (kankhāvisuddhi). 
5)  Directed non  direct  knowledge  net  (Nana-dassana maggamagga visuddhi). 
6)  Executive director  of knowledge  net  (Nana-dassana patipada visuddhi)
7)  Tri pure  (Nana-dassana visuddhi).

In  terms of  generals are  often called to  take  away liberation ie kill the  negativity , especially  ignorance  and  craving .Ten  afflictions  bind  ( months )  beings  are:

1) Join  (lobha). 
2) Yard  (dosa). 
3) Si  (moha). 
4) Man  (māna). 
5)  Deviant  (ditthi). 
6)  Comfort (vicikicchā). 
7)  Sweden  (thīna). 
8)  Election  (uddhacca). 
9)  insensitive  (ahirika). 
10)  Precious  (anottappa).

Or ten  fetters  that  body is ,  disbelief ,  gender hatred ,  attachment  of  sexuality ,  anger ,  attachment  of  gender identity,  sexual orientation  in  the formless realm , romantic,  agitation ,  ignorance .

How long these  afflictions obstacles  on still  dominates  life  , then  we  can not be  freed  from the cycle of  misfortune mortal . Stand on  ways  the heart and mind,  freeing  include  moral consciousness  of liberation  that is  the mind freed from the  unwholesome  mental states , and mental improvement  of liberation  that is  wisdom  throughout inform  truth without  hindrance  any one  of is  yet.

For  us the path  to  liberation is  too difficult and requires a lot of  effort . But if  we are  often  persistent ,  diligent  and always  mindful ,  then even in the present moment,  we  can  freely feel at peace  among the brain. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.9/6/2019.
