THE SIX POINT OF REVERENT HARMONY.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.
A. INTRODUCTION
1. The harm of discord
In daily living together, nothing is as damaging as disharmony. Disagreement causes the life together and forces people to be apart, if they do not want to be close to each other to make each other miserable.
In the family, you are not in harmony, then the love of humiliation separates. Husband and wife do not get along, then the family does not succeed, the children must suffer, because near their father, they must leave their mother; near my mother, I have to leave my father Villages are not in harmony, they often produce aphids, lawsuits, and killing each other. If the country is not in harmony, then being born and washed, it is disturbed, the people suffer. Humanity of any kind, the war continues, human beings stand and fall.
2. The importance of peace
Seeing how dissonance is, of course, it is also necessary to see how necessary the nature of harmony is for the collective life.
We often hear: "Felt peace" (taking peace as a quarter). These four simple words have an extremely beneficial use. Those who take it as a guideline, no matter how big or small, are they easily accomplished. On the contrary, those who despise it, the common work never pays off.
The Confucian Book also says: "The right time, not by the terrain of advantage; the terrain is advantageous, not by the human mind and heart" (the natural time is not like the geopolitics, any advantage is as a human being). See that then know enough: the factor is the most important factor in all things, every organization. Family harmony, the family is happy; when the country was united, the country was successfully ruled; If kind of peace, the world peace.
Knowing more than anyone the importance of virtuous nature in the collective life, the Buddha prepared the "Luc hoa" dharma for Buddhists.
B. SUGGESTIONS
I. DEFINITIONS
Six harmony is the six methods of dealing with each other from material to spiritual, from words to work. Draw here is the harmony with the purpose of advancing to the sublime, to the path of liberation, of perfection and perfection, rather than a weak, passive way, anyone who fusses will also agree, everyone who says must nod. Harmony here is not a means in the period to draw victory for me, then fight again. Draw here aims to benefit all, causing happiness for all, including the "self and forgiveness" gesture without measuring "me and people".
II. WHAT IS IT?
The harmonic contains the following six points:
1. Friendly harmony in living (Harmony in co-residence)
means together under one roof, within a range, an organization, early in the morning together, eat and sleep together, study together.
When you live together like that every day, you have to get along well, not use your strength and force to bully and kick each other. If you are brothers, spouses and children in a family, you must be on the peace and harmony, you will become brothers, you will be younger, your husband will be married, your wife will be married, but not disorderly, bullying, punish each other.
If you are Buddhists, living together studying under a temple, then it is not only the flesh, but also the common children of the Buddha, the same ideal of purpose, you must also get the peace as the first, not divided factions, rely heavily on weak rape, depend on her to rape, strong everyone.
If you are a compatriot, living together in a social country, you must take the solidarity to be the first, not to cause the disturbance of the skin pot, to divide the year into seven, to become a constellation of soldiers and neighbors; kill each other, kill each other. People in our country have a very good verse of the song:
"I love you, you know the secret,
but it is different but is the same".
Different, but living together on a truss, there must be peace and love; let alone the same people, a race!
Also, being human, living together on this globe, whether it is white, black, yellow or red, is also the "Four Sea of Brothers". It was the same people who brought each other to the battlefield to shoot each other, to kill each other, as bait for guns and bullets, it was extremely absurd.
In short, living together in a position, a limit, a situation, it must always be together.
2. Words of harmony, non-controversy
Wanting yourself not to pedal each other, not fighting each other, when you are together, your words must keep your gentleness peaceful; In any case, it is necessary not to scold rad, fight each other.
There are relatives and people who do not harmonize, lose each sentence, try to be sarcastic, mutter each other, ask each other one by one, and eventually give birth to each other.
In a family, because of a word of no harmony, many brothers and sisters sometimes separated, husband and wife separated, father and son did not see each other, turned into strange, hostile people.
in society, also because of a non-harmonious speech, many times the nation must be in war, humanity must be pushed into a slaughtering furnace.
Therefore, the body must be sour enough, but the Buddha taught to mix the mouth too. It means that Buddhists must speak gentle and gentle words, not necessarily to argue, to cause each other. If there is any question, it is necessary to argue, it is absolutely necessary to use a peaceful, gentle speech.
3. Italy harmonized with fun (Italy harmonized approval)
The only way to learn is to say: Italy is the most important thing, it is the motivation to promote the mouth and body. As for public affairs, it is the first, but condemns, it also comes first (the laborer, the guilty criminal). Therefore, in a family, a union, each person needs to keep his or her mind and mind. If the idea is peaceful, fun, the body and words are easy to keep peace. On the other hand, if the thoughts are not harmonious, often opposite, hate each other, then the body and the password are hard to keep. No matter how hard you try to get your body and speech to be in harmony, or for fear of a supremacy, and to be in harmony with each other, this kind of harmony is no different from a beautiful paint, painted on. a broken wooden board. Once the internal conflict had reached a level no longer contained, it would all explode in words or in kicks;
The Buddha already understood that, so he taught to have a happy mind of harmony while living together.
Want to be mindful of harmony, must cultivate happy. Hy discharge means leaving out the sadness, anger, not grasping in the hearts of others. In this way, the mind is relaxed, joyful, and the thought is pure and clear. So let us try to cultivate Buddhists to be happy.
4. Harmony with the practitioner (Peaceful initiates)
In an organization, an orderly organization has all the rules and rules.
In Buddhism, each Buddhist person, depending on the status of his or her spiritual practice, receives less or more precepts. The layman lives the Five Precepts; The monk will take 10 precepts if he is a novice monk and will receive 250 precepts if he is a bhikkhu and will receive 348 precepts if he is a monk and so on.
When Buddhists meet again, or when they live together to study, every day depends on their rank and keeps the precepts. Had the same level of frustration with each other, then all must take precepts and keep the same, not to be confused, to keep this precept, to abstain from precepts, to abstain from precepts, to abstain from each other. if there is this discipline, then of course the organization will disintegrate. Therefore, the Buddha taught: when Buddhists have lived together, it is imperative to practice the same precepts together, keeping the rules of the annoyed level.
Broadly speaking, in a school, a Buddhist family, for example, always take discipline as the first. In a school, if a student does not keep the school's discipline, who wants to leave, who wants to go in and out, who wants to study and learn, who wants to play and play, then that school must collapse. In a Buddhist family, each student will follow his or her own ideas, disobey the five rules of the family, and not follow the orders of the Brothers, then the Buddhists will disintegrate. In a member who does not respect the rules of the association, dividing the class, self-giving, there is no need to keep the precepts as a coward, to give himself rich, not to be a precept of the poor, and to have a self-disciplined education. like an uneducated person; if there is such a situation, all of them will disintegrate.
In short, in a union, religion or life, if we do not keep together precepts, discipline, rules, then we can never live together. Buddhists, in order to work together to practice, each person needs to keep the same precepts.
5. Knowing how to explain to each other (Conjugate interpretation)
In common life, each person knows what, discovers something, must explain, instruct others to understand. Thus, the new knowledge level is not different, the new study progresses equally to the spirit of equality and newness, which is easy to maintain among those in the same union.
When we discover something new, or have a good idea, if we don't explain it to people around us, then not only are we selfish, we create a blockage between sympathy for others. That selfishness and choking are the bond of division, dishonesty, conflict. Before a problem, each person will think, will see each way, and therefore, will cause doubts, confusion in the organization, because most people do not know who to believe.
Especially in Buddhist scriptures, both large and high, and all kinds, every Buddhist can discover a different aspect, find a meaning that may be true, but may be wrong. In that case, without urgently presenting your views and opinions to everyone in the team, it is difficult to live in harmony with each other.
6. Profit and peace are divided equally. (Profit is equal to the army)
In terms of finance, real objects, utensils must be divided for each other or together, they cannot occupy their own, or win much of themselves.
While living together, if someone gives food, clothing, blankets, medicine, etc., they must bring all their troops, meaning that they are divided equally, not because of their own love, a few people, guys good bad people, but must be fair. Keeping it like that, even though there are thousands of people still happy. On the other hand, if for private, private minded talents can benefit even if only a few three people live together, it is impossible to get along.
In society, there is a strong conflict, class division, also because of the lack of "benefit from the army". The rich are too expensive, the poor are poor, the palatial manor of the land flies straight, some people do not have a hut. Therefore, it is impossible to have peace: the proletariat conflicts with the real, the poor are born with the rich.
If mankind understands that the richness of life and wealth in the world, like dew drops on the branches of flowers, glorious fame in the world is like bubbles floating on the sea surface, then the difference between rich and poor will be lessened. very much, and humanity will be less conflicting.
With a spirit of equality and compassion, compassion and suffering, with a wisdom of enlightenment of impermanence and transitoryness of life, the Buddha taught: "There is talent, so it is up to you to share with each other", Or even more thoroughly: "Benefit from the army".
Because we are Buddhists, we should try to practice that teaching.
C. CONCLUSION
In order to have a general idea of the Six Airs let us review once again, the main ideas in the 6 things instructed by the Buddha:
1) Let's live together in harmony, let's be together fight hard, cover each other, not use force to suppress each other.
2) Speak with each other in a gentle, gentle manner; If there is anything to discuss, it must be discussed in moderation and politeness.
3) Cultivate good intentions for each other, cultivate the virtue of joy; never enmity, jealousy.
4) Keep the same precepts, take discipline as the first. Without discipline, no group can survive.
5) Explain your insights and opinions to those around you. The person who understands much, must have the duty to show the rear and guide them to keep up with him.
6) Distributing equally the resources collected for those who live with us, so that everyone can be satisfied and happy.
Six things taught above, if we do it thoroughly, in the family, parents and husband and wife, brothers and sisters, all peace and harmony, happy and prosperous every day; the nation is strong and prosperous, the world is peaceful and peaceful.
Particularly in our Buddhist world, if we apply the "Luc hoa" law, our cultivation will progress quickly, the path of liberation is closer, and the realm of Bliss is not just one wish.
