The harm of discord.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

In daily life, nothing is as damaging as disharmony. Dissonance is toxic to life and forces people to be apart, if they do not want to be near to suffer for each other.

The importance of meekness

Having seen how disharmony is, of course it is also necessary to see how the virtue of peace is necessary for the collective life.

We often hear:  "Take peace because of you" (taking peace as a quarter) . Those four simple words have an extremely beneficial use. Those who take it as a motto, no matter how big or small, are easy accomplishments. On the contrary, those who despise it, the common work never pays off.

The Confucian Book also says: "Good times, not equal to advantages; advantages and disadvantages, not equal to the center of peace ”  (heavenly weather such as favorable terrain, geographical advantages such as peace) . 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 would be ruled out; If kind of peace, the world peace.

Six things are six methods of behaving together for harmony from matter to spirit, from speech to work. Draw here is the peace with the purpose of advancing to the beauty, to the path of liberation, perfect perfection, rather than a weak, passive way, anyone who fusses will say yes, whoever says must nod.

Knowing more than anyone else the importance of the virtue of harmony in collective life, the Buddha invented the  "Six Elements " method for Buddhists.

Six things are six methods of behaving together for harmony from matter to spirit, from speech to work. Draw here is the peace with the purpose of advancing to the beauty, to the path of liberation, perfect perfection, rather than a weak, passive way, anyone who fusses will say yes, whoever says must nod.

Draw here is also not the means in the stage to draw victory on yourself, then fight again. Hoa here aims to benefit all, to create happiness for all, including the "self and forgiveness" gesture without measuring "me and people".

Luc Hoa includes?

Luc air consists of the following six points:

1. Friendly with the same stay (Friendly family stay)

It means being together under one roof, within a range, an organization, having early together, eating, sleeping, studying together.

When living together daily touch like that, they must get along with each other, do not use strength, force to bully, beat 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, you will be married, and your wife will not be in disorder and disorder. punish each other.

If you are Buddhists, living together studying under a temple, then even though they are not blood relatives, but you are also the common children of the Buddha, with the same ideal of purpose, then you must also get peace as the first, not divided factions, rely heavily on weak rape, depend on her rape, strong everyone.

If they are compatriots, living together in a social country, they must take the solidarity as the head, not to cause the skin to be broken and split, to be divided into seven divisions, to become an adversary or an enemy; kill each other, kill each other. The people of our country have very meaningful folk verses:

"Oh get elected trade secrets together,

Although other varieties but share a rig".

Unlike breeds, which live on a platform, they must get along and love each other; let alone a people, a race!

Also, being human, living together on this planet, whether white, black, yellow or red skin is also  "the four brotherhoods"  . 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 is extremely absurd.

In short, living together in a position, a limit, a situation, always have to get along with each other.

2. Speech harmony, not arguing each other (password peace avoidance)

If the body does not want to fight each other, does not oppose each other, when being together, the words must be kept in a gentle manner; In any case, it is necessary not to get rid of the hoppers and bickering.

There are relatives but the password is not in harmony, eating and drinking each sentence, looking for sarcasm, poking each other, interrogating each other one by one, finally giving birth to each other.

In a family, agitated because of a word of dissonance, many of us are separated from each other, husband and wife separated, father and son not seeing each other, becoming strangers and hostile people.

In society, also because of a word of dissonance, but sometimes the country must face the war, humanity must be pushed into the slaughterhouse of catastrophic slaughter.

Therefore, the body must be sour enough, but the Buddha taught to mix the mouth too. Means Buddhists have to say softly, graciously with each other, necessarily not arguing, causing each other wood. If you have any questions, need to argue for reason, you absolutely must use calm and gentle words to discuss.

3. Italy harmonized with fun (Italy harmonized approval)

The only way to say it is: The most important thing is that it motivates the mouth and the body. When it is counted, it leads, but condemns, it also comes first (the offense, the offense). Therefore, in a family, a community, 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 contrary, if the mind is at odds, often against each other, and jealous of each other, it is difficult for the body and the mouth to keep perfect. No matter how hard you try, so that your body and mouth can get along, or because you are afraid of some authority, and have to live in harmony with each other, this harmony is like a beautiful paint. a rotten 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 in harmony, must practice Hy Hy. 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 Buddhists try to cultivate happy new conduct.

  

In a Buddhist family, each student will follow his or her own will, disobey the five rules of the family, and not follow the orders of the Brothers, the Buddhist will disintegrate. in a member who disrespects the association's rules, divides the class, gives himself to no need to keep the precepts like a coward, makes himself rich, does not keep the precepts like the poor, self-educated like an uneducated person; If there is such a situation all the associations will disintegrate.

4. About the same monk (About fellow practitioners)

In an organization, an organization that is orderly, all have strict discipline.

In Buddhism, each Buddhist person, depending on his or her religious position, receives more or less the precepts. Those at home take the Five Precepts; who ordained as a monk for 10 precepts if he was a novice, 250 if he was a bhikkhu or a 348 precepts if he was a bhikkhuni ...

When Buddhists gather, or when living together to study, every day, according to their rank, holds the precepts. Having been at 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 was no such discipline, the organization would naturally disintegrate. Therefore, the Buddha taught: when Buddhists have lived together, it is absolutely necessary to practice the same rules together, keeping the rules of the annoyed level.

Broadly speaking, in a school, a Buddhist family, an association, for example, always take discipline as the head. In the school, if a student does not keep the school discipline, who wants to go out, who wants to come in, 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, the Buddhist will disband. in a member who disrespects the association's rules, divides the class, gives himself to no need to keep the precepts like a coward, makes himself rich, does not keep the precepts like the poor, self-educated like an uneducated person; If there is such a situation all the associations will disintegrate.

In short, in a group, religion or life, if we do not keep the precepts, discipline and rules together, we can never live together. So Buddhists, in order to get along well to practice, everyone needs to keep the same precepts.

5. See how to explain to each other understand (Kien reconciliation)

In common life, each person understands what, discovers what points, has to explain and instruct others to understand. Thus the new level of knowledge is not different, the new study is progressing in the spirit of equality, easy to maintain between people in the same organization.

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. Selfishness and congestion are the bonds of division, discord, and conflict. Before a problem, each person will think, will see each way, and therefore, will cause doubts and confusion in the group, because most people do not know who to trust.

Especially in the Buddhist scriptures, there are many, both sublime, all kinds of Buddhists, who can discover a different aspect, find a meaning that may be right, but may be wrong. In such a case, without urgently explaining his views and opinions to the rest of the organization, it is difficult to live in harmony with one another.

6. Loi harmony with each other evenly divided (Loi harmony with troops)

In terms of resources, real objects and utensils must be divided for each other's need or use together, must not be made as their own, or won much of their own.

While living together, if someone gives food, clothes, blankets, medicine, etc., they must divide all of them, that is to divide them equally, not because of their own love, some are few, some are good people bad, but must take fairness as important. Keeping like that, even with thousands of people still happy. On the contrary, if because of private interest, greed, ambition, even if only a few people live together, it is impossible to get along.

In society, there is a fierce conflict, class division, also because of the lack of  "peace and harmony " at all. The rich are too rich, the poor are poor, the palatial mansion is fluttering with wings, others do not have a hut on the wall. Therefore, there is no peace: the proletarians conflict with the wealthy, the poor country is born with the rich nation.

If mankind understands that: Riches are rich and rich in the world, like dew drops on a branch 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. many, and humanity will be less in conflict with each other.

With a spirit of equal gain, compassion, and suffering, and a wisdom that enlightens the impermanence, the transientness of life, the Buddha taught: "There is wealth, so it depends on each other to share". or more thoroughly: "Loi and his troops". We are Buddhists, so we should try to practice that teaching.

Thoroughly obey the Six Elements - 6 things the Buddha's advice:

1) Let's live together harmoniously, let's fight hard, cover each other, not to use force to suppress each other.

 2) Speak to each other gently, graciously; If there are any questions to discuss, they must be discussed peacefully and politely.

 3) Cultivate good intentions for each other, cultivate the virtue of joy; Never hate, envy each other.

 4) Keep the same discipline, take discipline as head. Undisciplined no group can exist.

 5) Explain your insights and ideas 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.

The six things taught above, if we do it thoroughly, in our family, parents, spouses, brothers and sisters, we all have peace, happiness, and prosperity every day; the nation is prosperous and prosperous, the world is peaceful and peaceful.

Particularly in the Buddhist world, if we properly apply the "Six-Six-Leaf Dharma" method, our cultivation will quickly improve, the path of liberation will be closer, and the realm of Ultimate Bliss is not just one wish.

So please advise the Buddhists, after learning to understand the  contents of the Six Elements, to practice and encourage everyone to follow, to enjoy the common happiness. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES )WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.8/7/2020.
