1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF GANAKA MOGGALLANA
At one time the Blessed One resided in Savatthi, Pubbarama, where the castle of Migaramatu (Dong Vien Loc Mau Amphitheater). Then Brahmin Gananka Moggallana went to the Blessed One. He inquired about the monastic path, and the Buddha answered about the six stages of a monk's ordination.
Brahmin Ganaka Moggallana asked the Blessed One: If there is a construction or study of four Vedic sets, or a profession such as Archery, or study Mathematics ... all must follow a sequential process from low. to high. So, does the teaching of the Buddha's teachings follow any sequence? The Blessed One replied that there was sequential learning in his law and law, like good horse training. There are 6 stages to subdue a person:
1. The monk is taught, preserves the moral precepts, protects the living room with the precepts of the precepts, and fully dreads the right conduct, sees danger in small faults, and maintains the maintenance of the precepts.
2. The monk is taught, must uphold the senses; when the eyes see sharpness, the ear hears, smells, etc. does not hold a general, does not hold a particular general. What causes the craving to arise, tame that cause, uphold the senses and practice the senses' maintenance.
3. The Bhikkhu is taught, be moderate in eating, contemplating eating not to have fun, to indulge or to beautify the body but only to keep this body from harm, to preserve virtue, to eat to contrive the feeling of hunger without the feeling of attachment, so as not to make mistakes and live peacefully.
4. Monks are trained, must pay attention to awareness, daytime as well as at night, remove obstacles from the mind while walking, standing, lying and sitting.
5. A monk taught, always mindful awareness in all his movements when walking, standing, sitting, lying, talking, chewing, swallowing, shrinkage, stretching ...
6. A monk is training practice, meditate in a secluded place, cross-legged, sitting in front of the mindfulness, cleansing the five hindrances, from the first meditation to the four meditation.
The Buddha concluded that it was his teaching to the remaining monks at the organic stage, the mind has not yet attained. As for the monks who have attained Arhat, those dharma s bring the current of bliss and awareness of awareness.
Brahmin asked, when taught like that, taught like that, are all the monks on testimony or not, only some of them?
Buddha taught that there are only some witnesses, some not.
Brahmin asked, why is there Nirvana, there is the road leading to Nirvana, and there is the Buddha's guide, and there are numbers of witnesses, others do not?
Lord Buddha, for example, has the city of Wang Xa, has a road to the city and some people clearly know the directions, some people arrive, others cannot. It is not the fault of the guide.
When hearing the Blessed One say that, Brahman Ganaka Moggallana praised the Blessed One's teaching as the highest of the teachings of the pagan master. He took refuge with the Blessed One, took refuge in the Dharma, and they became monks from here until their death.
2. THE BUDDHISM-TRAINING PATH OF THE MAJOR GANAKA MOGGALLANA
These are the six sequential stages of a monk's practice:
2.1. Preserving the moral precepts
- The first step of a monk who wants to go towards the path of liberation is to be protective of the precepts. The reason Buddhism is promoted in the world for a long time is not only thanks to the great treasure of scriptures but also to the spirit of duty. It is the duty that makes Buddhism different from other religions. The precepts are considered food and drink to nourish the dharmakaya. The precepts are like the eyes of our own, so be careful to preserve them, As in the Sutra of the Vow of Bodhisattva
The life of a spiritual practitioner is different from that of a worldly person who knows how to make rules of life. Depending on the basis of austerities and joining the Sangha sooner or later that receive the Dharma precepts for maintenance, this is also one of the three infinite gonads of the Precepts - Samadhi - Wisdom that Buddha taught in which the precepts are heads. A renunciate who does not keep the precepts is no longer a renunciate. The reason the monk is different from the worldly person is to uphold the moral precepts, this is a barrier to prevent the negative karma that can happen that hinders the holy path.
Precepts are also the foundation for the development of Buddhism. Therefore the Sangha must be a sanctuary and purity, otherwise it will cause loss of faith in Buddhists and teachers, Buddhism will not be able to exist and develop in such conditions. Think about whether a group without rules, rules, whether the group has a religious order or not, or a social organization without rules, the organization will soon disintegrate. If a country does not have laws, it will be in turmoil due to social crimes, social evils and devastating ethics. Also, the sangha is also an organization, a society with many people including different backgrounds, classes, educational levels, cultures, as well as different habits, views of life. It is necessary to uphold the things through the duty of the duty.
However, the application of the precepts must also be flexible and arbitrary, which makes the Buddhist precepts more and more perfect and developed through each historical period. Buddha carefully advised: "Bhikkhus, though these are things I have established, but if they are not in accordance with the local customs and practices, they should not be applied. On the contrary, there are things that are not. as defined by Ta, but which is the local customs and practices, it is impossible not to implement " [1]. Then the Buddha added: "When a bhikkhu does something, he should compare it with the sutras and the laws, if it is in accordance with the spirit of the sutras, the law should do it. Otherwise, if it is contrary to the spirit God of business, law, should not do it . " [2]
Buddhist precepts make people free from all constraints in life as well as improve the unwholesome behaviors people cause in society. The spirit of Buddhism is "Depending on which conditions are invariant, invariant but still dependent" . It is possible to flexibly apply the precepts in the best way to achieve the goal of liberation, but be cautious in proposing new rules, and especially not arbitrarily amending the Buddha's precepts. It is this flexibility that contributes to the development of Buddhism, because if it is not flexible, not changing to suit the development and change of society, Buddhism cannot exist and develop.
A renunciate not only upholds the duty but also must be fully dignified in the dignity of being solemn and self-respectful, respectable on the lower, loving people. Because monks and nuns represent the pure meaning, always uphold the moral style of the monks and nuns, deserve to be the model of everyone, exemplary of the four of them, towards liberating samsara. Initially a monk, the monk's mind was very strong and noble, so he was accepted by the teacher, apprentice, taught very sincerely. Walking, standing, sitting, lying, talking, asking, saluting, eating, sleeping and resting in the rules of meditation.
When the body goes always upright, the eyes do not look at the sides, leisurely leisurely. Standing is solemn, vacuum ornamental, high side, low side, hands not akimbo. Sit up straight, head right not leaning forward, backward, not sitting tight, not crossed, upright, leaning on the table, nor leaning anywhere. Located in the auspicious position, inclined to the right, always not fashionable. Password does not say echo, embroidery even a very small job, not saying did not laugh or just said just laugh, always saying gentle gentleness to everyone, saying the right way as the Dharma makes people respect the Triple Gem , vows to the monk. Italy often sees his own faults - no human error, no contempt for people who are interested in studying. Because there is always mindfulness.
Due to living in the forest, monasteries and refuge with the masses, all activities follow the meditation practice of purification. The officials, the masses are doing that, everyone has the duty. Living in mass, close to the wise master who reminds monks and nuns to preserve the precepts, long life, respect for the rules, and help the monks and nuns, we increase the dignity and dignity of the monks and nuns. safe. In contract with the legs as, in addition to showing the virtues of renunciations. [3]
The days pass quickly if the virtues are not round, once losing one's body then being lost in the place of three things to be hard to get back, the renunciants should make effort to lower the elaborate craft, the majesty, sacrifices and self-sacrifices display, the mind is always staying in mindfulness to wish enlightenment day liberation. Not only that, the practitioner must also see the danger in minor errors, not seeing the small error will have consequences for great virtue. Small faults are the causes of creating karma and the karma that leads the sentient beings to samsara. Those who want to escape from samsara must avoid creating karma but want to avoid creating karma, be careful with small errors. Say it again and again, because we are ordinary people, big mistakes are easy to see and small, subtle errors are difficult to see, but if you can avoid them, it is much better. The renunciate should not look at the faults of others, but every minute and every minute must always see his small faults to improve himself. Tu means to revise what is not good to be good, what is not complete and perfect, so you have to pay attention to your little errors to make modifications, to perfect yourself. If you are not careful in the small mistakes that will affect the great virtue, if the great virtue is damaged, the holy path is stopped and cannot go any further.
Practitioners who want to progress on the path of meditation must first be mindful before speaking of pure mind, so that the protection of the precepts, majesty and the danger in small errors will make for the mind to be wholesome towards the concentration. This is the first step which is also an important step in the process of monastic practice, if one omits this step, the practitioner will not have the foundation to go through the other sequences and the practice is considered as meaningless.
2.2. Preserving the senses
This is a very special next step, controlling the senses, seeing eyes sharp, hearing ears, smelling nose, not holding the general, not holding the general. In the Anguttara Nikāya Sutta, the worthy product is revered and the Buddha taught: "Here, monks, when the eyes see sharpness, there is no fancy, no hate, residence, mindfulness. When the ear hears ... ..when the nose smells .... when the tongue tasted ... ... when the body touches ... ..when the dharma knows, there is no liking, there is no hatred, residence, mindfulness. ” [4]
When the six faculties come into contact with the six ceilings, if they do not uphold the delusion, bad karmic actions and bad karma are created, but if there is mindfulness of awareness, not grasping, not following, the three karmas are purified. The senses crave food, the eyes see beauty, it is preferred, the sound of the ears is satisfied, .. the body touching smooth objects is pleasant, greedy ... the search for happiness in the senses, sex is never to have a edge. The human mind is absorbed, enjoying or hating, boring because of the use of the senses created by the faculties in contact with the ceiling. The six senses: eyes, ears, eyes, eyes, legs and mind, which come into contact with the six senses: color, sound, flavor, taste, touch, and dharma that create six consciousness: consciousness, ear, consciousness, consciousness, consciousness, body consciousness and consciousness. For Buddhism to develop, there are more Mac na awakening and A awakened consciousness, and these two are promoted in the activities of human will. The store and latent in the mind of bad ideas are easy to appear when encountering scenes and people are caught up in the bad habits that the mind has contained and nurtured.
There are many people who cannot uphold their senses and desire cannot progress on the path. The relaxed eye creates craving in the mind, the sound of the voice is easy to be absorbed, and so are the other faculties, so it is necessary to uphold the senses so that they are not greedy for color, sound, flavor, taste, contact and dharma. . It must be remembered that the maintenance of the senses, not closed senses. We still live in life with full color, still hear or know fully but really master not to get caught up in it. Love or hate, like and dislike are also stuck between these two concepts. The calm or the apartments are maintained that transcends karmic awareness to see with mindfulness of mindfulness. The mind is "abiding in the discharge", letting go, not clinging when confronted to the scene is the main factor to form the personality of the saint. According to the Buddha's insight, cultivators only need to uphold six grounds firmly. When the six apartments are maintained, the new karma is reduced, the merit is increased, not only worthy of being a blessing field for Buddhists but also a basis for renunciants to step on the saints, attain liberation and peace not only in this life but for the life to come. [5]
2.3. Moderation in eating and drinking
Everyone thinks eating and drinking is a small thing but they don't know that this is an important issue and is the third process in the path of holiness. The worldly people eat and drink without any moderation, as long as they like to eat then find all ways to eat. The greed leads to bad karma like killing sentient beings for eating meat, not knowing that the retribution of karma must pay for the result, the resentment for the retribution, the war going on crying out for the heavens and the earth but not knowing that it is human karma created from the aftermath of killing to eat. Because the Buddha saw this, he taught his disciples to be moderately in eating. When Buddha was still alive, Indian society was poor, he and the sangha asked alms for something to eat and ate only one meal before noon. Today the society is more developed, increasing them to be in monasteries, with Buddhists making offerings so they no longer have to beg for alms. Besides, also according to the times, association, education, partner labor ... should be allowed to eat at least two meals and be vegetarian. However, there are also traditional denominations, so there is nothing to eat. How to eat and drink does not matter according to each denomination, but it is important to know the moderation in eating. Eating enough excess excess desire will be high, making the cozy atmosphere warm, unable to regulate body and mind, unbalanced yin and yang cause diseases. "Export spare parts painting, imported parts disease" means: disasters coming out of the mouth and diseases coming in from the mouth. The implications of not being careful about words and illnesses are that you don't know how you should eat and drink.
Of the four offerings of monks and nuns, one thing is that of the benefactor. It must be thought that when we eat a delicious meal, the Vietnamese people work harder than hundreds of thousands of times. So we have to tame the body and mind, just need to eat rice to preserve this body and make the means across the river. The pleasure of eating is very strong, it will lead us to greed if we are not careful about. Eating a lot is also easy to cause many diseases, gradually saying: "The belly is bigger, the life span is shorter" , it is thought that eating a lot is healthy but unexpectedly eating a lot will cause diseases such as fat, fat, stout body do anything sluggish, high blood pressure, etc. ...
As for eating and drinking, the renunciants must be self-regulating. Means to eat in moderation, just enough not to taste delicious things. Always consider: eating to maintain life, to cultivate a career, not because of a delicious body fat. Consistent review such strokes to eliminate the senses favorite taste. The story Buddha told King Pasenadi when he ate so much made him uncomfortable after eating and sleeping. He taught, "Hey King! Excessive eating often brings suffering. ” Then he said to the verse:
For those at home who also have to know how to eat and drink in order to be healthy and the monks and nuns are practicing virtue as well as liberation, they need to know more. Do not let eating and drinking take a lot of time, effort and money but should put a lot of time into studying and researching. Moderation in eating and drinking is the best way to stay healthy and increase your spiritual capacity on the path to enlightenment.
4. Be mindful of the
Buddha's vigilance : "Hey monks, be alert! During the day while walking, and while sitting, cleanse your mind from the obstacles of dharma; at night in the first watch, while walking in action and while sitting, cleansing the mind of the Dharma obstacles; At night, in the center, lie down on the right hip, like a lion, with your feet on your feet together, mindful, alert until you get up again. At night, in the last soup, when you wake up, while going on business and while sitting, clean your mind from the obstacles of dharma. ”
The renunciation during the day when doing business, meditating must always pay attention to the awareness, clear the obstacles in the mind, like an experienced swordsman who sees the danger when enemies are surrounded. Telling here is the unwholesome, the legal obstacles present in the mind to mind negativity. At night, at the beginning of the day, to go to business or to wash the mind from the hindrances, that is, to keep the mind quiet, not to let an unwholesome dharma intervene, without delusion. In the middle of the night, lying on the right place of the Tathagata, at the end of the night, wake up to experience and constant awareness, to separate from all obstacles, meaning that the time of residence must be aware and settle in the present every minute and every second. Always see my mind.
This is a method of cultivating malice, because sex and evil make our mind often obstructed and suffering. The practice time here the Buddha clearly defined how the day and night watch the first, middle and last soup how, when walking, sitting, and lying down. Thus, the above teachings help us not to mistake the Dharma of the dharma and the dharma of the heathen and the teachings of the heathen and never master birth, old age, sickness, death, and stop rebirth.
During the day, when walking on the path, you know you are walking, paying attention to your mind, observing that your mind has any obstacles, then erasing it from the mind. Just like when sitting just monitoring your mind when there are any obstacles, it will also purify them. And so the practice of Buddhism with this stage is only one thing to do is to clean up all the obstacles in your mind, without any moment the mind has obstacles, always having to keep your mind at all. unmoving, serene, peaceful and unharmed. It is the only thing that protects the truth of the Buddha's freedom and freedom.
It is through purifying the hindrances of dharma in the mind that one should practice the morality of being a saint, living without suffering, suffering and all sentient beings. This both gives us a peaceful, peaceful and unharmful body and mind, and brings society an order of security, prosperity and happiness, if everyone can filter out the unwholesome things in our mind.
The Buddha also taught the monk at night " leaning on mindfulness, " which means lying down to rest, not being able to sleep, because sleep is no longer mindful awareness, relying on the breath to impermanence reminds the mind : "I know I breathe inhale countless multitude, breathe out I know I breathe out." The effect is finished and then silently watching the breath out, breathing out, breathing in, knowing the breath coming in, but should not use the short breath just breathing normally. By relying on the breath, the mind awakens. Here we have to understand mindfulness as mindfulness of breathing, and even higher, mindfulness is the serene, peaceful, peaceful mind without thoughts in mind. In this discourse the Buddha teaches mindfulness to be aware of the unmoving, serene, peaceful, thoughtless mind, not the breath. The mind must always think of waking up, not wanting to sleep. It is a very careful teaching of Buddha, one must remember that this teaching must not be forgotten.
When lying on your side resting in mindful awareness, you must always think of waking up, not lying down lazily. Whenever you see you are tired, you should wake up immediately to practice training to eradicate the mind from the obstacles of legal training, ie the evil of separation. If anyone practices so diligently, witnessing is no longer difficult and hard. Before sleeping, it is necessary to remind the mind to wake up to rest, not sleep. Sleep is a state of delusion, so be alert when you lie down and not lie down to sleep immediately, to remember the Buddha's teaching: " must always wake up ". At the last night of the night, it is the night to wake up to go to business, if you are not sleepy, sit and practice to cleanse the mind to clear the mind of the legal obstacles.If you are sleepy, you always have to diligently go to the business, not sit. Sitting is lazy and eager to sleep, and sitting is fallen into the deep dark kisses that make us fall astray.
This is a wonderful way to practice the mind of gonorrhea, so the renunciants must endeavor to practice to save themselves from all suffering, especially birth, old age, sickness, death and death. [6]
5. Mindfulness of
Buddha's awareness : “A monk has attained awareness of mindfulness? Here the Male on stilts when going back and forth are aware; when looking straight, when looking around is aware; when contracting hands, when stretching hands are aware; when carrying medicine, the bowl is awake; when eating, chewing and swallowing mindfully; when defecation, urination are aware; when walking, standing, sitting, lying, awake, talking, standing quietly, aware. Like that, a monk has attained mindfulness. "
After focusing on awareness, the Buddha teaches us to accomplish "mindfulness awareness".. Means for every daily movement to focus on mindfulness. When you know you are walking, when you know you are standing, when you eat, you know you are eating, when you wash, you know you are washing the dishes, etc., without interfering with another thought. It means knowing yourself every moment without a forgotten memory.
When achieving "mindfulness awareness". The Buddha taught the practitioner to leave the five "hindrances" to cover the mind and mind, thus not growing. The five hindrances are: craving (sensual desires), anger (anger, sadness), hypnosis (sleeping, lazy), contrition (anxiety and regret), suspicion (doubt, due to (for the Dharma) and end the greed of the world, initiating the compassionate compassion of all sentient beings. Having finished "the year of a female" After that, the Buddha taught us to practice patience. That is, for the situation of having to endure all the cold, hot, hungry, thirst, the touch of flies, mosquitoes, snakes, centipedes ... until being tolerant of all slurs and insults ... that is, for must personally endure all kinds of painful agony, wash away impurities, greed, hatred and delusion. Method of Buddhist practice taught above called "righteous conduct", it is consistent with the Chief Justice "bowl district direct" is the path of sexual separation and peace in peace and liberation. So the person who wants to attain Nirvana attainment right here and practice, without having to search for any other path.
All of our actions must be mindful of awareness, if there is no awareness of awareness, there is no mindfulness of awareness, if attention is attentive to awareness, awareness awareness is present. A monk must be mindful of every gesture, every action, when walking, standing, lying, sitting, cracking his hands, holding his hand, holding the bowls and carrying the bowls, he must always pay attention and awareness in every gesture. small. Our Buddha is praised with three thousand statues, eight sacrifices, because all of his movements and gestures exude a strange liberation, no redundant movements, no gestures. just rough. This made many people when he saw him that the mind was pure, austerities, even though he did not say anything at that time.
If we do not practice the first three steps to clean our mind garden, we will not be able to go to the next steps. Why can't we be mindful because we don't uphold our pure duty, don't practice righteousness, don't see the danger in every little mistake to avoid, don't uphold our senses, don't know how to in eating and drinking, so we cannot focus on the awareness, let alone the awareness of mindfulness because the wave of desire in our body and mind is still too great, it hinders our mind so strong that we cannot achieve mindfulness sense.
The wave of desire can sweep us into the sea of karma and be easily entangled in the consequences. When encountering a cute object, the desire for greed arises, when encountering an object which is easy to hate, aversion will arise, when encountering an object which is not cute or not easy to hate, arose. It is because we have no insight that the mind is full of delusion. Wisdom and delusion are contradictory, when insight exists, ignorance is not present, but when ignorance is present, wisdom does not exist. Wisdom is located in his mind and delusion is also in his mind. Tue or ignorance is also created by our mind and we receive the consequences of our mind has created. The awareness of mindfulness makes our mind calm, purifying the unwholesome, avoiding the creation of karma. Awareness clearly understands that emotions, emotions, minds or dhammas are wholesome or unwholesome, to help us transform akusala dhammas into wholesome deeds, from which to realize the dhammas which develop into pure good practice that until the net.
Practicing mindfulness in daily life is very necessary, not just during meditation. If there is no mindfulness outside of meditation time, then there cannot be mindfulness during meditation, because they go hand in hand. So we should practice this basic mindfulness, first by observing our body, aware of what we are doing, whether it is walking, standing, sitting, lying, lying on our shoulders, bowing ... or whatever whatever.
The benefit of mindfulness of the body is that during practice, the mind is kept calm, does not allow it to roam, purifies the mind, afflictions at the moment such as frustration, anger or craving are controlled. strict control to prevent them from being conditioned. If we practice like this, we will realize in a short time the presence of tranquility, as well as the absence of mental afflictions. This is an important step forward into the meditation path, when the mind is pure to pure in order to attain the states of meditation.
6. An upright mindfulness by meditation is
taught by the Buddha: "Go to Male-stilts, choose a solitary place, solitary as a forest, a tree, a ravine, a cave, a graveyard, a grove of trees, an open field, a haystack. He chooses a solitary place. bush, like forests, stumps, ravines, caves, graveyards, groves, outdoors, haystacks.After going alms on and finished eating, he sat cross-legged, straight back on the spot. and stay mindful in front of him, He renounces craving in life, lives with the mind of escaping craving, cleanses the mind of craving, Abandoning hatred, he lives with a mind without hatred, compassion from compassion. mercy of all sentient beings, washing away the anger and anger, Giving up on the deep and deep kiss, he escaped from the deep divorce, with the mind in the direction of light, mindfulness, cleaning the mind out of the kiss. Hypnosis; renunciation of exchange unfortunately, he does not live, the inner peace of mind cleanses the mind from the mind of giving; regrets doubt,
When eradicating the five hindrances, the dharmas contaminate the mind, weaken the mind, he is separated from sex, the unwholesome Dharma, and dwells in the First Meditation, a state of bliss due to the separation of sex and birth. foursome. The position he kill range and four, evidence and meditation Monday, a state of bliss due to birth, no range, the province, single-mindedly. The position he divorced discharge residence, mindfulness awareness, body feeling that the saints called discharge discharge concept, residence evidence and residence meditation Tuesday. Discharge, discharge of suffering, destroy the happy wedding has felt before, evidence and residence meditation Wednesday, no suffering, no communication, discharge pure concept. "
Monks meditate in a solitary place, stay mindful in front of their eyes, attain the levels and states of meditation. This is the pinnacle of the practice path because previously the monk had maintained the moral precepts, due to the moral precepts, and the control of the mental mind that arose through meditation practice. From stages one, two, three, four and five are all part of the precepts. At these five levels a practitioner needs to take it seriously because without achieving these five levels it is impossible to progress to that sixth level of meditation. Meditation is the highest level of the path through practice rather than philosophy. The Noble Eightfold Path helps practitioners to have a step-by-step and complementary practice, which is an exercise in, not in theory. Buddhism emphasizes the practice and only the practice can verify the truth that Buddha said. If truth is not tested, its reliability is not true.
The practitioner must practice to thoroughly examine the Buddha's teaching through meditation. When the year was absent, the first meditation with a state of bliss due to divorce, he continued to practice until the second meditation and meditation to the fourth meditation. When the end of the year was complete, he faced the situation of enduring all the cold, hot, hungry, thirst, the touch of flies, mosquitoes, snakes, centipedes ... until he tolerated every scolding. cursing ... that is, for oneself who has to endure all kinds of painful and urgent pain, wash away impurities, greed, hatred and delusion. Method of Buddhist practice taught above called "righteous conduct", it is consistent with the Chief Justice "bowl district direct" is the path of sexual separation and peace in peace and liberation. So the person who wants to attain Nirvana attainment right here and practice, without having to search for any other path.
The attainment of meditation is the attainment of liberation, which is the pinnacle of holy concentration and must be sustained in everyday life. Many people carry negative mental states so heavy that they find it very difficult to change, unable to convert unwholesome things into goodness, moods of envy, jealousy or anger that lead to unwholesome thoughts. , it is impossible to enter into meditation.
Mindfulness is pure attention without judgment. It is the awareness that clearly understands that emotions, emotions, minds or dhammas are wholesome or unwholesome, to help us transform our body and mind. Everyone has the ability to understand clearly and have the intelligence to do so. Of course, everyone has all the weaknesses of a human being, factors that always bring unhappiness, anxiety, anger, and afflictions, but we don't need to hold on to them because they make us mind. get entangled. With the mind of awareness, we can realize this and begin to convert unwholesome things into goodness, practice this when meditating, train our wandering thoughts to pass and bring our attention back to. Topic meditation in everyday life to turn them into energy to chemical beings.
The common sign of all types of meditation practice is guiding people to achieve a concentrated, seductive mood, such as a lake that can only be seen through the bottom if the water surface is not disturbed. . Meditation will lead the practitioner to a mood of Non-duality, where dualistic thoughts are transformed; one attains unity with the absolute, the concepts of space and time are transformed into the constant present, one realizes the identity of the existing world and nature. If this experience is deeply cultivated and the practitioner applies it to the actions of everyday life, it is a state that all religions collectively call "Liberation."
The liberation of a practitioner is not outside the practice of ignorance, which the Buddha taught. The precepts are the moral standards that underlie the liberation of all suffering and cut off all attachment craving. Who wants to go to Sa Mon, do not give up this purpose. Our life must be pure, must uphold the senses, know the degree of eating, pay attention to alertness, mindfulness and awareness. "In the precepts of birth, in order to develop wisdom", in order to pray for wisdom, we must cultivate meditation and must first uphold the precepts. If the precepts are flawed, meditation will be difficult. Meditation fails, so does wisdom not arise. Therefore, Tam illegal gonorrhea is the basic disciplines of Buddhist learners, as well as a three-legged peak, without a leg can not stand. Also on the way to liberation,
Although there is the Nirvana, there is a path to Nirvana, there is a devoted guide but there are people who do not reach Nirvana, it is not by the guide but by the one who did not go on the right path. the road that the directions were directed. Also, the Buddha is just a guide, and we are the way people go to Nirvana or not it depends on us but Buddha is not at fault. Through the discourse the Buddha concludes that his teaching to the monks, the monks, and the monks have attained Arhat and are now present, no longer being reborn or reincarnated.
CONCLUDE
Human life with countless afflictions, tied ties, barriers preventing people from heading to holiness, the Buddha's teaching has brought people out of those afflictions. With the path of sequential practice according to a reasonable process helps the practitioner have a more correct direction. None of us is full of intellect, fully lucid to point out a path of practice, so we have to follow Buddha's teachings absolutely in order to reach the destination that we have directed. Because the Buddha with the transcendent wisdom of an enlightened being, realizes that there is compassion in the mind of beings, which shows the path of practice to liberation. If we are arrogant to think that we are intelligent and know the way to go on our own, then we may not reach the destination but also encounter unpredictable dangers.
Just as the world's jobs must follow a low to high order, so is the path of practice. Do not hurry to skip the steps that make up the foundation, but the next steps. When you do not know how to go, you should not run, it is better to be late but be better than hurry and miss work. Fortunately for a renunciate who is a disciple of Buddha, a true master has given us thorough directions. Although many Buddhists are just guides, cannot take our hands to lead them, we are old enough to be able to walk on that path on his own according to his instructions. To reach that person depends on the determination of each person and the right practice of Buddha's teachings, otherwise, the way will be far away but do not know where to go.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.14/3/2020.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF GANAKA MOGGALLANA
At one time the Blessed One resided in Savatthi, Pubbarama, where the castle of Migaramatu (Dong Vien Loc Mau Amphitheater). Then Brahmin Gananka Moggallana went to the Blessed One. He inquired about the monastic path, and the Buddha answered about the six stages of a monk's ordination.
Brahmin Ganaka Moggallana asked the Blessed One: If there is a construction or study of four Vedic sets, or a profession such as Archery, or study Mathematics ... all must follow a sequential process from low. to high. So, does the teaching of the Buddha's teachings follow any sequence? The Blessed One replied that there was sequential learning in his law and law, like good horse training. There are 6 stages to subdue a person:
1. The monk is taught, preserves the moral precepts, protects the living room with the precepts of the precepts, and fully dreads the right conduct, sees danger in small faults, and maintains the maintenance of the precepts.
2. The monk is taught, must uphold the senses; when the eyes see sharpness, the ear hears, smells, etc. does not hold a general, does not hold a particular general. What causes the craving to arise, tame that cause, uphold the senses and practice the senses' maintenance.
3. The Bhikkhu is taught, be moderate in eating, contemplating eating not to have fun, to indulge or to beautify the body but only to keep this body from harm, to preserve virtue, to eat to contrive the feeling of hunger without the feeling of attachment, so as not to make mistakes and live peacefully.
4. Monks are trained, must pay attention to awareness, daytime as well as at night, remove obstacles from the mind while walking, standing, lying and sitting.
5. A monk taught, always mindful awareness in all his movements when walking, standing, sitting, lying, talking, chewing, swallowing, shrinkage, stretching ...
6. A monk is training practice, meditate in a secluded place, cross-legged, sitting in front of the mindfulness, cleansing the five hindrances, from the first meditation to the four meditation.
The Buddha concluded that it was his teaching to the remaining monks at the organic stage, the mind has not yet attained. As for the monks who have attained Arhat, those dharma s bring the current of bliss and awareness of awareness.
Brahmin asked, when taught like that, taught like that, are all the monks on testimony or not, only some of them?
Buddha taught that there are only some witnesses, some not.
Brahmin asked, why is there Nirvana, there is the road leading to Nirvana, and there is the Buddha's guide, and there are numbers of witnesses, others do not?
Lord Buddha, for example, has the city of Wang Xa, has a road to the city and some people clearly know the directions, some people arrive, others cannot. It is not the fault of the guide.
When hearing the Blessed One say that, Brahman Ganaka Moggallana praised the Blessed One's teaching as the highest of the teachings of the pagan master. He took refuge with the Blessed One, took refuge in the Dharma, and they became monks from here until their death.
2. THE BUDDHISM-TRAINING PATH OF THE MAJOR GANAKA MOGGALLANA
These are the six sequential stages of a monk's practice:
2.1. Preserving the moral precepts
- The first step of a monk who wants to go towards the path of liberation is to be protective of the precepts. The reason Buddhism is promoted in the world for a long time is not only thanks to the great treasure of scriptures but also to the spirit of duty. It is the duty that makes Buddhism different from other religions. The precepts are considered food and drink to nourish the dharmakaya. The precepts are like the eyes of our own, so be careful to preserve them, As in the Sutra of the Vow of Bodhisattva
“World is like a big light
Illuminate the dark night
About as a shining mirror
Clearly all dharma. ”
The precepts are considered the first important of Buddhism: "The precepts are the circuit of the Buddha Dharma, The precepts are the Buddha Dharma; The lost precepts is the Buddha Dharma ” . Buddhism is the "truth of reality" , whose core is ethics and the precepts that underlie. When Buddha was alive, he restrained the precepts to prevent the destruction of the sangha. When he was about to pass away, he taught his future disciples to take the precepts as their teacher. Sutra Sutra says: "Precepts are the root of supreme Bodhi", the basic spirit of Buddhism is in the solemnity of the precepts. " In the Sutta Path , the Buddha taught, "All of the pagan ghosts, no one can destroy our teachings, only our disciples will cause our teachings to be destroyed . ""Only in the body of a lion can one eat the lion's flesh."The life of a spiritual practitioner is different from that of a worldly person who knows how to make rules of life. Depending on the basis of austerities and joining the Sangha sooner or later that receive the Dharma precepts for maintenance, this is also one of the three infinite gonads of the Precepts - Samadhi - Wisdom that Buddha taught in which the precepts are heads. A renunciate who does not keep the precepts is no longer a renunciate. The reason the monk is different from the worldly person is to uphold the moral precepts, this is a barrier to prevent the negative karma that can happen that hinders the holy path.
Precepts are also the foundation for the development of Buddhism. Therefore the Sangha must be a sanctuary and purity, otherwise it will cause loss of faith in Buddhists and teachers, Buddhism will not be able to exist and develop in such conditions. Think about whether a group without rules, rules, whether the group has a religious order or not, or a social organization without rules, the organization will soon disintegrate. If a country does not have laws, it will be in turmoil due to social crimes, social evils and devastating ethics. Also, the sangha is also an organization, a society with many people including different backgrounds, classes, educational levels, cultures, as well as different habits, views of life. It is necessary to uphold the things through the duty of the duty.
However, the application of the precepts must also be flexible and arbitrary, which makes the Buddhist precepts more and more perfect and developed through each historical period. Buddha carefully advised: "Bhikkhus, though these are things I have established, but if they are not in accordance with the local customs and practices, they should not be applied. On the contrary, there are things that are not. as defined by Ta, but which is the local customs and practices, it is impossible not to implement " [1]. Then the Buddha added: "When a bhikkhu does something, he should compare it with the sutras and the laws, if it is in accordance with the spirit of the sutras, the law should do it. Otherwise, if it is contrary to the spirit God of business, law, should not do it . " [2]
Buddhist precepts make people free from all constraints in life as well as improve the unwholesome behaviors people cause in society. The spirit of Buddhism is "Depending on which conditions are invariant, invariant but still dependent" . It is possible to flexibly apply the precepts in the best way to achieve the goal of liberation, but be cautious in proposing new rules, and especially not arbitrarily amending the Buddha's precepts. It is this flexibility that contributes to the development of Buddhism, because if it is not flexible, not changing to suit the development and change of society, Buddhism cannot exist and develop.
A renunciate not only upholds the duty but also must be fully dignified in the dignity of being solemn and self-respectful, respectable on the lower, loving people. Because monks and nuns represent the pure meaning, always uphold the moral style of the monks and nuns, deserve to be the model of everyone, exemplary of the four of them, towards liberating samsara. Initially a monk, the monk's mind was very strong and noble, so he was accepted by the teacher, apprentice, taught very sincerely. Walking, standing, sitting, lying, talking, asking, saluting, eating, sleeping and resting in the rules of meditation.
When the body goes always upright, the eyes do not look at the sides, leisurely leisurely. Standing is solemn, vacuum ornamental, high side, low side, hands not akimbo. Sit up straight, head right not leaning forward, backward, not sitting tight, not crossed, upright, leaning on the table, nor leaning anywhere. Located in the auspicious position, inclined to the right, always not fashionable. Password does not say echo, embroidery even a very small job, not saying did not laugh or just said just laugh, always saying gentle gentleness to everyone, saying the right way as the Dharma makes people respect the Triple Gem , vows to the monk. Italy often sees his own faults - no human error, no contempt for people who are interested in studying. Because there is always mindfulness.
Due to living in the forest, monasteries and refuge with the masses, all activities follow the meditation practice of purification. The officials, the masses are doing that, everyone has the duty. Living in mass, close to the wise master who reminds monks and nuns to preserve the precepts, long life, respect for the rules, and help the monks and nuns, we increase the dignity and dignity of the monks and nuns. safe. In contract with the legs as, in addition to showing the virtues of renunciations. [3]
The days pass quickly if the virtues are not round, once losing one's body then being lost in the place of three things to be hard to get back, the renunciants should make effort to lower the elaborate craft, the majesty, sacrifices and self-sacrifices display, the mind is always staying in mindfulness to wish enlightenment day liberation. Not only that, the practitioner must also see the danger in minor errors, not seeing the small error will have consequences for great virtue. Small faults are the causes of creating karma and the karma that leads the sentient beings to samsara. Those who want to escape from samsara must avoid creating karma but want to avoid creating karma, be careful with small errors. Say it again and again, because we are ordinary people, big mistakes are easy to see and small, subtle errors are difficult to see, but if you can avoid them, it is much better. The renunciate should not look at the faults of others, but every minute and every minute must always see his small faults to improve himself. Tu means to revise what is not good to be good, what is not complete and perfect, so you have to pay attention to your little errors to make modifications, to perfect yourself. If you are not careful in the small mistakes that will affect the great virtue, if the great virtue is damaged, the holy path is stopped and cannot go any further.
Practitioners who want to progress on the path of meditation must first be mindful before speaking of pure mind, so that the protection of the precepts, majesty and the danger in small errors will make for the mind to be wholesome towards the concentration. This is the first step which is also an important step in the process of monastic practice, if one omits this step, the practitioner will not have the foundation to go through the other sequences and the practice is considered as meaningless.
2.2. Preserving the senses
This is a very special next step, controlling the senses, seeing eyes sharp, hearing ears, smelling nose, not holding the general, not holding the general. In the Anguttara Nikāya Sutta, the worthy product is revered and the Buddha taught: "Here, monks, when the eyes see sharpness, there is no fancy, no hate, residence, mindfulness. When the ear hears ... ..when the nose smells .... when the tongue tasted ... ... when the body touches ... ..when the dharma knows, there is no liking, there is no hatred, residence, mindfulness. ” [4]
When the six faculties come into contact with the six ceilings, if they do not uphold the delusion, bad karmic actions and bad karma are created, but if there is mindfulness of awareness, not grasping, not following, the three karmas are purified. The senses crave food, the eyes see beauty, it is preferred, the sound of the ears is satisfied, .. the body touching smooth objects is pleasant, greedy ... the search for happiness in the senses, sex is never to have a edge. The human mind is absorbed, enjoying or hating, boring because of the use of the senses created by the faculties in contact with the ceiling. The six senses: eyes, ears, eyes, eyes, legs and mind, which come into contact with the six senses: color, sound, flavor, taste, touch, and dharma that create six consciousness: consciousness, ear, consciousness, consciousness, consciousness, body consciousness and consciousness. For Buddhism to develop, there are more Mac na awakening and A awakened consciousness, and these two are promoted in the activities of human will. The store and latent in the mind of bad ideas are easy to appear when encountering scenes and people are caught up in the bad habits that the mind has contained and nurtured.
There are many people who cannot uphold their senses and desire cannot progress on the path. The relaxed eye creates craving in the mind, the sound of the voice is easy to be absorbed, and so are the other faculties, so it is necessary to uphold the senses so that they are not greedy for color, sound, flavor, taste, contact and dharma. . It must be remembered that the maintenance of the senses, not closed senses. We still live in life with full color, still hear or know fully but really master not to get caught up in it. Love or hate, like and dislike are also stuck between these two concepts. The calm or the apartments are maintained that transcends karmic awareness to see with mindfulness of mindfulness. The mind is "abiding in the discharge", letting go, not clinging when confronted to the scene is the main factor to form the personality of the saint. According to the Buddha's insight, cultivators only need to uphold six grounds firmly. When the six apartments are maintained, the new karma is reduced, the merit is increased, not only worthy of being a blessing field for Buddhists but also a basis for renunciants to step on the saints, attain liberation and peace not only in this life but for the life to come. [5]
2.3. Moderation in eating and drinking
Everyone thinks eating and drinking is a small thing but they don't know that this is an important issue and is the third process in the path of holiness. The worldly people eat and drink without any moderation, as long as they like to eat then find all ways to eat. The greed leads to bad karma like killing sentient beings for eating meat, not knowing that the retribution of karma must pay for the result, the resentment for the retribution, the war going on crying out for the heavens and the earth but not knowing that it is human karma created from the aftermath of killing to eat. Because the Buddha saw this, he taught his disciples to be moderately in eating. When Buddha was still alive, Indian society was poor, he and the sangha asked alms for something to eat and ate only one meal before noon. Today the society is more developed, increasing them to be in monasteries, with Buddhists making offerings so they no longer have to beg for alms. Besides, also according to the times, association, education, partner labor ... should be allowed to eat at least two meals and be vegetarian. However, there are also traditional denominations, so there is nothing to eat. How to eat and drink does not matter according to each denomination, but it is important to know the moderation in eating. Eating enough excess excess desire will be high, making the cozy atmosphere warm, unable to regulate body and mind, unbalanced yin and yang cause diseases. "Export spare parts painting, imported parts disease" means: disasters coming out of the mouth and diseases coming in from the mouth. The implications of not being careful about words and illnesses are that you don't know how you should eat and drink.
Of the four offerings of monks and nuns, one thing is that of the benefactor. It must be thought that when we eat a delicious meal, the Vietnamese people work harder than hundreds of thousands of times. So we have to tame the body and mind, just need to eat rice to preserve this body and make the means across the river. The pleasure of eating is very strong, it will lead us to greed if we are not careful about. Eating a lot is also easy to cause many diseases, gradually saying: "The belly is bigger, the life span is shorter" , it is thought that eating a lot is healthy but unexpectedly eating a lot will cause diseases such as fat, fat, stout body do anything sluggish, high blood pressure, etc. ...
As for eating and drinking, the renunciants must be self-regulating. Means to eat in moderation, just enough not to taste delicious things. Always consider: eating to maintain life, to cultivate a career, not because of a delicious body fat. Consistent review such strokes to eliminate the senses favorite taste. The story Buddha told King Pasenadi when he ate so much made him uncomfortable after eating and sleeping. He taught, "Hey King! Excessive eating often brings suffering. ” Then he said to the verse:
"People like to sleep, eat big,
Lying back and forth,
It is like a pig that is full of belly,
Fools become pregnant forever. ”
The Buddha taught, "Venerable King, it is necessary to maintain moderation when eating and drinking. That is a good thing." He continued the verse:
"People are often mindful,
To eat, to know well,
Slowly, feeling strong,
Old slowly, long service life. ”
Since then King Pasenadi often ate his nephew Prince Sudassana before reciting the verse that Buddha said to remind the king. As a reminder, King Pasenadi sequentially restricted his food intake, until he ate at most one nàlika (one cup of rice). After a while, the king's body was healthy, the king rubbed his limbs on his own and said the following inspiration: "Oh, the Blessed One really thinks, thinking about the benefits for us, both present and future life! "For those at home who also have to know how to eat and drink in order to be healthy and the monks and nuns are practicing virtue as well as liberation, they need to know more. Do not let eating and drinking take a lot of time, effort and money but should put a lot of time into studying and researching. Moderation in eating and drinking is the best way to stay healthy and increase your spiritual capacity on the path to enlightenment.
4. Be mindful of the
Buddha's vigilance : "Hey monks, be alert! During the day while walking, and while sitting, cleanse your mind from the obstacles of dharma; at night in the first watch, while walking in action and while sitting, cleansing the mind of the Dharma obstacles; At night, in the center, lie down on the right hip, like a lion, with your feet on your feet together, mindful, alert until you get up again. At night, in the last soup, when you wake up, while going on business and while sitting, clean your mind from the obstacles of dharma. ”
The renunciation during the day when doing business, meditating must always pay attention to the awareness, clear the obstacles in the mind, like an experienced swordsman who sees the danger when enemies are surrounded. Telling here is the unwholesome, the legal obstacles present in the mind to mind negativity. At night, at the beginning of the day, to go to business or to wash the mind from the hindrances, that is, to keep the mind quiet, not to let an unwholesome dharma intervene, without delusion. In the middle of the night, lying on the right place of the Tathagata, at the end of the night, wake up to experience and constant awareness, to separate from all obstacles, meaning that the time of residence must be aware and settle in the present every minute and every second. Always see my mind.
This is a method of cultivating malice, because sex and evil make our mind often obstructed and suffering. The practice time here the Buddha clearly defined how the day and night watch the first, middle and last soup how, when walking, sitting, and lying down. Thus, the above teachings help us not to mistake the Dharma of the dharma and the dharma of the heathen and the teachings of the heathen and never master birth, old age, sickness, death, and stop rebirth.
During the day, when walking on the path, you know you are walking, paying attention to your mind, observing that your mind has any obstacles, then erasing it from the mind. Just like when sitting just monitoring your mind when there are any obstacles, it will also purify them. And so the practice of Buddhism with this stage is only one thing to do is to clean up all the obstacles in your mind, without any moment the mind has obstacles, always having to keep your mind at all. unmoving, serene, peaceful and unharmed. It is the only thing that protects the truth of the Buddha's freedom and freedom.
It is through purifying the hindrances of dharma in the mind that one should practice the morality of being a saint, living without suffering, suffering and all sentient beings. This both gives us a peaceful, peaceful and unharmful body and mind, and brings society an order of security, prosperity and happiness, if everyone can filter out the unwholesome things in our mind.
The Buddha also taught the monk at night " leaning on mindfulness, " which means lying down to rest, not being able to sleep, because sleep is no longer mindful awareness, relying on the breath to impermanence reminds the mind : "I know I breathe inhale countless multitude, breathe out I know I breathe out." The effect is finished and then silently watching the breath out, breathing out, breathing in, knowing the breath coming in, but should not use the short breath just breathing normally. By relying on the breath, the mind awakens. Here we have to understand mindfulness as mindfulness of breathing, and even higher, mindfulness is the serene, peaceful, peaceful mind without thoughts in mind. In this discourse the Buddha teaches mindfulness to be aware of the unmoving, serene, peaceful, thoughtless mind, not the breath. The mind must always think of waking up, not wanting to sleep. It is a very careful teaching of Buddha, one must remember that this teaching must not be forgotten.
When lying on your side resting in mindful awareness, you must always think of waking up, not lying down lazily. Whenever you see you are tired, you should wake up immediately to practice training to eradicate the mind from the obstacles of legal training, ie the evil of separation. If anyone practices so diligently, witnessing is no longer difficult and hard. Before sleeping, it is necessary to remind the mind to wake up to rest, not sleep. Sleep is a state of delusion, so be alert when you lie down and not lie down to sleep immediately, to remember the Buddha's teaching: " must always wake up ". At the last night of the night, it is the night to wake up to go to business, if you are not sleepy, sit and practice to cleanse the mind to clear the mind of the legal obstacles.If you are sleepy, you always have to diligently go to the business, not sit. Sitting is lazy and eager to sleep, and sitting is fallen into the deep dark kisses that make us fall astray.
This is a wonderful way to practice the mind of gonorrhea, so the renunciants must endeavor to practice to save themselves from all suffering, especially birth, old age, sickness, death and death. [6]
5. Mindfulness of
Buddha's awareness : “A monk has attained awareness of mindfulness? Here the Male on stilts when going back and forth are aware; when looking straight, when looking around is aware; when contracting hands, when stretching hands are aware; when carrying medicine, the bowl is awake; when eating, chewing and swallowing mindfully; when defecation, urination are aware; when walking, standing, sitting, lying, awake, talking, standing quietly, aware. Like that, a monk has attained mindfulness. "
After focusing on awareness, the Buddha teaches us to accomplish "mindfulness awareness".. Means for every daily movement to focus on mindfulness. When you know you are walking, when you know you are standing, when you eat, you know you are eating, when you wash, you know you are washing the dishes, etc., without interfering with another thought. It means knowing yourself every moment without a forgotten memory.
When achieving "mindfulness awareness". The Buddha taught the practitioner to leave the five "hindrances" to cover the mind and mind, thus not growing. The five hindrances are: craving (sensual desires), anger (anger, sadness), hypnosis (sleeping, lazy), contrition (anxiety and regret), suspicion (doubt, due to (for the Dharma) and end the greed of the world, initiating the compassionate compassion of all sentient beings. Having finished "the year of a female" After that, the Buddha taught us to practice patience. That is, for the situation of having to endure all the cold, hot, hungry, thirst, the touch of flies, mosquitoes, snakes, centipedes ... until being tolerant of all slurs and insults ... that is, for must personally endure all kinds of painful agony, wash away impurities, greed, hatred and delusion. Method of Buddhist practice taught above called "righteous conduct", it is consistent with the Chief Justice "bowl district direct" is the path of sexual separation and peace in peace and liberation. So the person who wants to attain Nirvana attainment right here and practice, without having to search for any other path.
All of our actions must be mindful of awareness, if there is no awareness of awareness, there is no mindfulness of awareness, if attention is attentive to awareness, awareness awareness is present. A monk must be mindful of every gesture, every action, when walking, standing, lying, sitting, cracking his hands, holding his hand, holding the bowls and carrying the bowls, he must always pay attention and awareness in every gesture. small. Our Buddha is praised with three thousand statues, eight sacrifices, because all of his movements and gestures exude a strange liberation, no redundant movements, no gestures. just rough. This made many people when he saw him that the mind was pure, austerities, even though he did not say anything at that time.
If we do not practice the first three steps to clean our mind garden, we will not be able to go to the next steps. Why can't we be mindful because we don't uphold our pure duty, don't practice righteousness, don't see the danger in every little mistake to avoid, don't uphold our senses, don't know how to in eating and drinking, so we cannot focus on the awareness, let alone the awareness of mindfulness because the wave of desire in our body and mind is still too great, it hinders our mind so strong that we cannot achieve mindfulness sense.
The wave of desire can sweep us into the sea of karma and be easily entangled in the consequences. When encountering a cute object, the desire for greed arises, when encountering an object which is easy to hate, aversion will arise, when encountering an object which is not cute or not easy to hate, arose. It is because we have no insight that the mind is full of delusion. Wisdom and delusion are contradictory, when insight exists, ignorance is not present, but when ignorance is present, wisdom does not exist. Wisdom is located in his mind and delusion is also in his mind. Tue or ignorance is also created by our mind and we receive the consequences of our mind has created. The awareness of mindfulness makes our mind calm, purifying the unwholesome, avoiding the creation of karma. Awareness clearly understands that emotions, emotions, minds or dhammas are wholesome or unwholesome, to help us transform akusala dhammas into wholesome deeds, from which to realize the dhammas which develop into pure good practice that until the net.
Practicing mindfulness in daily life is very necessary, not just during meditation. If there is no mindfulness outside of meditation time, then there cannot be mindfulness during meditation, because they go hand in hand. So we should practice this basic mindfulness, first by observing our body, aware of what we are doing, whether it is walking, standing, sitting, lying, lying on our shoulders, bowing ... or whatever whatever.
The benefit of mindfulness of the body is that during practice, the mind is kept calm, does not allow it to roam, purifies the mind, afflictions at the moment such as frustration, anger or craving are controlled. strict control to prevent them from being conditioned. If we practice like this, we will realize in a short time the presence of tranquility, as well as the absence of mental afflictions. This is an important step forward into the meditation path, when the mind is pure to pure in order to attain the states of meditation.
6. An upright mindfulness by meditation is
taught by the Buddha: "Go to Male-stilts, choose a solitary place, solitary as a forest, a tree, a ravine, a cave, a graveyard, a grove of trees, an open field, a haystack. He chooses a solitary place. bush, like forests, stumps, ravines, caves, graveyards, groves, outdoors, haystacks.After going alms on and finished eating, he sat cross-legged, straight back on the spot. and stay mindful in front of him, He renounces craving in life, lives with the mind of escaping craving, cleanses the mind of craving, Abandoning hatred, he lives with a mind without hatred, compassion from compassion. mercy of all sentient beings, washing away the anger and anger, Giving up on the deep and deep kiss, he escaped from the deep divorce, with the mind in the direction of light, mindfulness, cleaning the mind out of the kiss. Hypnosis; renunciation of exchange unfortunately, he does not live, the inner peace of mind cleanses the mind from the mind of giving; regrets doubt,
When eradicating the five hindrances, the dharmas contaminate the mind, weaken the mind, he is separated from sex, the unwholesome Dharma, and dwells in the First Meditation, a state of bliss due to the separation of sex and birth. foursome. The position he kill range and four, evidence and meditation Monday, a state of bliss due to birth, no range, the province, single-mindedly. The position he divorced discharge residence, mindfulness awareness, body feeling that the saints called discharge discharge concept, residence evidence and residence meditation Tuesday. Discharge, discharge of suffering, destroy the happy wedding has felt before, evidence and residence meditation Wednesday, no suffering, no communication, discharge pure concept. "
Monks meditate in a solitary place, stay mindful in front of their eyes, attain the levels and states of meditation. This is the pinnacle of the practice path because previously the monk had maintained the moral precepts, due to the moral precepts, and the control of the mental mind that arose through meditation practice. From stages one, two, three, four and five are all part of the precepts. At these five levels a practitioner needs to take it seriously because without achieving these five levels it is impossible to progress to that sixth level of meditation. Meditation is the highest level of the path through practice rather than philosophy. The Noble Eightfold Path helps practitioners to have a step-by-step and complementary practice, which is an exercise in, not in theory. Buddhism emphasizes the practice and only the practice can verify the truth that Buddha said. If truth is not tested, its reliability is not true.
The practitioner must practice to thoroughly examine the Buddha's teaching through meditation. When the year was absent, the first meditation with a state of bliss due to divorce, he continued to practice until the second meditation and meditation to the fourth meditation. When the end of the year was complete, he faced the situation of enduring all the cold, hot, hungry, thirst, the touch of flies, mosquitoes, snakes, centipedes ... until he tolerated every scolding. cursing ... that is, for oneself who has to endure all kinds of painful and urgent pain, wash away impurities, greed, hatred and delusion. Method of Buddhist practice taught above called "righteous conduct", it is consistent with the Chief Justice "bowl district direct" is the path of sexual separation and peace in peace and liberation. So the person who wants to attain Nirvana attainment right here and practice, without having to search for any other path.
The attainment of meditation is the attainment of liberation, which is the pinnacle of holy concentration and must be sustained in everyday life. Many people carry negative mental states so heavy that they find it very difficult to change, unable to convert unwholesome things into goodness, moods of envy, jealousy or anger that lead to unwholesome thoughts. , it is impossible to enter into meditation.
Mindfulness is pure attention without judgment. It is the awareness that clearly understands that emotions, emotions, minds or dhammas are wholesome or unwholesome, to help us transform our body and mind. Everyone has the ability to understand clearly and have the intelligence to do so. Of course, everyone has all the weaknesses of a human being, factors that always bring unhappiness, anxiety, anger, and afflictions, but we don't need to hold on to them because they make us mind. get entangled. With the mind of awareness, we can realize this and begin to convert unwholesome things into goodness, practice this when meditating, train our wandering thoughts to pass and bring our attention back to. Topic meditation in everyday life to turn them into energy to chemical beings.
The common sign of all types of meditation practice is guiding people to achieve a concentrated, seductive mood, such as a lake that can only be seen through the bottom if the water surface is not disturbed. . Meditation will lead the practitioner to a mood of Non-duality, where dualistic thoughts are transformed; one attains unity with the absolute, the concepts of space and time are transformed into the constant present, one realizes the identity of the existing world and nature. If this experience is deeply cultivated and the practitioner applies it to the actions of everyday life, it is a state that all religions collectively call "Liberation."
The liberation of a practitioner is not outside the practice of ignorance, which the Buddha taught. The precepts are the moral standards that underlie the liberation of all suffering and cut off all attachment craving. Who wants to go to Sa Mon, do not give up this purpose. Our life must be pure, must uphold the senses, know the degree of eating, pay attention to alertness, mindfulness and awareness. "In the precepts of birth, in order to develop wisdom", in order to pray for wisdom, we must cultivate meditation and must first uphold the precepts. If the precepts are flawed, meditation will be difficult. Meditation fails, so does wisdom not arise. Therefore, Tam illegal gonorrhea is the basic disciplines of Buddhist learners, as well as a three-legged peak, without a leg can not stand. Also on the way to liberation,
Although there is the Nirvana, there is a path to Nirvana, there is a devoted guide but there are people who do not reach Nirvana, it is not by the guide but by the one who did not go on the right path. the road that the directions were directed. Also, the Buddha is just a guide, and we are the way people go to Nirvana or not it depends on us but Buddha is not at fault. Through the discourse the Buddha concludes that his teaching to the monks, the monks, and the monks have attained Arhat and are now present, no longer being reborn or reincarnated.
CONCLUDE
Human life with countless afflictions, tied ties, barriers preventing people from heading to holiness, the Buddha's teaching has brought people out of those afflictions. With the path of sequential practice according to a reasonable process helps the practitioner have a more correct direction. None of us is full of intellect, fully lucid to point out a path of practice, so we have to follow Buddha's teachings absolutely in order to reach the destination that we have directed. Because the Buddha with the transcendent wisdom of an enlightened being, realizes that there is compassion in the mind of beings, which shows the path of practice to liberation. If we are arrogant to think that we are intelligent and know the way to go on our own, then we may not reach the destination but also encounter unpredictable dangers.
Just as the world's jobs must follow a low to high order, so is the path of practice. Do not hurry to skip the steps that make up the foundation, but the next steps. When you do not know how to go, you should not run, it is better to be late but be better than hurry and miss work. Fortunately for a renunciate who is a disciple of Buddha, a true master has given us thorough directions. Although many Buddhists are just guides, cannot take our hands to lead them, we are old enough to be able to walk on that path on his own according to his instructions. To reach that person depends on the determination of each person and the right practice of Buddha's teachings, otherwise, the way will be far away but do not know where to go.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.14/3/2020.
