1.2 The Meaning of Religion  (2), (16), (26)

After the 'Great Renunciation ', the  Bodhisattva  went to see two ascetic masters  Alara Kalama  and  Udakka Ramaputta , who taught him to realize the levels of Formless Realm meditation. Although the certificate realm that's achieved the highest realm at that time, but he is still not satisfied, because it does not lead to the realm of Nirvana ( Nibbana) . After saying goodbye to them, he found a   deserted cave on a hill called  Dhongra Hill . There he had practiced the austerities, painfully and in vain, within six years, maybe only a thin skeleton remained and he was almost dying. After realizing  the futility of the practice of the body, He decided to follow the  Middle Way  and started eating again to recover his health. The other 5 ascetic friends thought that he had given up and started enjoying the pleasure again, so they gave up on him. At that time, the  Bodhisattva  began his struggle alone to find enlightenment. The day before the full moon of Wesak, while carrying a vase standing under a Banyan tree, preparing to beg for alms, a young woman named  Sujata  came to offer rice porridge cooked with rice and milk in a  golden plate . Young woman Sujata was the son of a patriarch of the neighboring Senanigama village   . After finishing the porridge,  Bo-slaps  brought the golden plate to the bank of the river  Neranjara (Ni-Lien-Boats) and said: "If I can successfully become a Buddha, let this plate float upstream, and if that fails, let the disc go downstream" - and He threw the golden plate into the river. The disc floats in the middle of the river and floats upstream, is about 80 cubits (37m) and then sinks in the eddy. That evening, on the way  Bodhisattva  went to the  Bodhi tree , grass cutter named  Sotthiya  brought most of the grass offered to  the Bodhisattva  to who makes meditating under a tree Bodhi. Bodhisattva  sat cross-legged lotus flower, face facing  the East,  He was determined and said that: “Even though the skin, tendons, and bones are dry. Even if the flesh and blood have dried up. I decided not to leave my seat until I became a Buddha .

Here  the  final culmination of the Perfection practices   (the Brahmins ) that he has completed in countless eons (aeons), without a single being, not even the Demon King and the deadly army Nor could the Demon King make the Buddha disperse or leave this seat. This Aparajita seat   cannot be shaken, cannot be destroyed, the Demon King cannot be destroyed. ( Aparajita : Can not be shaken, never can be broken. Pinyin often translates as: Seat "Minh Vuong Vo Nang Thang").

When Mara (Mara) to challenge and harass,  Bodhisattva  immediately put his right hand touched the earth and the earth shouted proof  30 Legal Perfection  ( Balaam density ) of people. Immediately, the earth rang,  shook  and scattered the Demon King and the Demon King's army.

After that, his mind is calm and pure, in the first watch, the witness attains (1) the Knowledge of the Past , such as remembering, knowing well his past lives and others,  in terms  of time  too. past, present, future. (Sino-Vietnamese read: ' Tuc Mang Minh' ).  

At Canh two, on the right half of the night, The certification achieved (2)  human visible Past, Present & Future ,  as seen clearly past lives behind her and others,  in terms of space . (Sino-Vietnamese read:  'Thien Nhan Minh' ).

And finally, on the third watch, the Witness attained (3) The  Mind Sees the Cause & Road to the End of Life and Death ,  no more pollution and impure, no more 'falling', 'falling' into the realm of life and death anymore. . 

☼ A  Samyutta Buddha  (Samma-sambuddho) appeared on the earth on the Full Moon day of the month of Wesak in 588 BC . 

1.3 Historical Context  (9), (27)

Bodhgaya  ( Bodhgaya ) is the ultimate Enlightenment place of Buddha, the most  sacred place  on earth for all Buddhists. During the Buddha's time on earth, this place on the banks of  Neranjara  (Ni-Lien-Boat) was called  Uruvela . King Asoka  was the first to build a temple in this holy place. A portrait of King Asoka Temple building and other premises in the area dduocj building  Bodhgaya  was found in a bas-relief on the said  tower  Bharhut  Stupa  in Madhya, Pradesh. Beginning with the first visit by King Asoka in 259 BC, countless pilgrims have continuously come to worship  the cradle. Buddhism for the past 1,500 years. Then, the time when these relics were ravaged by Muslim armies in the 13th century was a period of disruption to the flow of pilgrims to Bodhgaya.  Dharmasvamin , a Tibetan pilgrim, visited Bodhgaya in 1234 AD. He witnessed the ruins of this place and recorded the following:

“ Only 4 monks are left (in the temple). One monk said, 'It is not good. All fled in terror at the Turushka army. They (monks) sealed the front gate of the Great Bodhi Tower (Mahabodhi) with bricks and sealed with mortar. Nearby, they built another statue to replace it. ”

When Buddhism declined in India, the Burmese came to save the Great Bodhi Tower from the hands of destruction. They repaired the Great Bodhi Tower at least three times during the 14th century to the 15th century. The last repair was in the years 1472-1492.

From then on, Bo-Bodhgaya was forgotten and the Great Bodhi Tower became more and more desolate. With favorable location conditions, Mr. Gosain Giri, a Hindu ascetic, built a Hindu temple at Bodh Gaya in 1590. The presence of this temple made Bodhgaya Trang fell into the hands of the Hindu Mahants who were not Buddhists and the non-Buddhist period began.

Fifty years later, in 1861, Cunningham met the Mahants of the Hindu church and the disciples who held non-Buddhist rituals at the Great Bodhi Tower. Moreover, although this organization claims the Great Bodhi Tower and the surrounding land as their own, they have never remodeled this historic tower. Sir ( Sir) Edwin Arnold , author of 'Light of Asia', visited the Great Bodhi Tower of Mahabodhi in 1885 and reported these rituals in the  Daily Telegraph  in London as follows:

“The Buddhist world had, truly, forgotten this most sacred and most interesting focus- It was a Mecca, a Jerusalem, of the millions of Eastern congregations, when I remained in Buddhagaya. Dao Trang) a few years ago. I feel very sad to see the Maharatta farmers celebrating 'Sharaddh (or Shrada)' there, and thousands of precious Sanskrit stone carvings piled up around.

Note :  Shrada is a final practice of Hindus, during the ceremony, mantras and verses are recited for the dead, in the belief that they will free the soul from the world and will be reborn in heaven.

1.4 Anagarika Dharmapala dharma protectors &  Bodhi Bodhisattva (Maha Bodhi)  (5), (23)

The struggle to regain the care and control of the Great Bodhi Tower by the Buddhists began on January 22, 1891 after the Buddhist monk  Anagarika Dharmapala  from Sri Lanka visited Bodhgaya. Seeing this most sacred relic forgotten and offended, he made a wish:  "I will work so that this sacred sanctuary becomes the care of our monks" .

As a first step, he founded  the  Maha Bodhi Society in Bodh Gaya on May 31, 1891 to mobilize support for his noble cause. After that, he invited monks from Ceylon to stay in Bodhgaya, including: Mr.  Chandajoti , Mr.  Sumangala , Mr.  Pemmananda  and Mr.  Sudassana . They went to Bodh Gaya in July 1891 and stayed at the Burmese Guest House. When the Mahant (the Hindu Taoist, only the one who was in charge of the Great Bodhi Tower) was taking possession of the land of Bodhgaya Bodhgaya, he refused, not to accept the presence of monks. Buddhism, and in February 1893, two monks were severely beaten by his men  . Two years later, in 1895, when Anagarika Dharmapala was trying to attach a Buddha image (which the Japanese Buddhists gave him) to the upper floor of the Tower, he was attacked  and  stopped by Mahant's men  . So he had to bring the picture back to the Burmese guest house. The Hindu Mahant and those Hindu organizations still refused and they tried to remove the Buddha image from the Burmese Guest House, but the government intervened. In 1906, that Mahant filed a lawsuit and sought to  expel the monks  from the Burmese Guest House. And this legal struggle between the Hindu Mahant and Buddhist monks lasted until 1949, when the Bihar State government enacted the Buddha Gaya Management Tower Management Act (Bodh Gaya) would passed through Government Management Committee  . The Act makes two objectionable things: the Administrative Committee consists of 9 people, of which the majority must be Hindus, and the other Buddhist members of the committee must be Indians. Although the Bodhi Bodhisattva objected, the Bill was still passed with an amendment: the Advisory Board must be majority Buddhist and not necessarily Indian. This means: Buddhists can only advise the Management Committee, but the final decision remains at the discretion of the Hindu administration !.

For the Association Great Bodhi (Maha Bodhi Society), it is like a kind of sophistry, as the Tower of the Great Bodhi (Mahabodhi Temple) to  be managed by those elements are not Buddhists,  imagine What if a mosque, a Christian church, a 'Sikh gurdwara' or a Hindu temple are controlled by people of other religions. In his article " The Vow That Is Still There " in Sambodhi, 1996, Venerable Pannarama Mahathera, Bhikkhu in charge of the Great Bodhisattva at that time, now deceased, revealed an ironic fact that even the Advisory Board is said to be predominantly Buddhist, but has only 11 people, while the non-Buddhist side.  up to 14 people !. The time has come to replace those non-Buddhist majority with the majority Buddhists, as the law was made before. Those Vows of Bhikkhus have not been fulfilled until this day.

1.5 Points to Visit  (26), (27), (31), (32)

1) Great Bodhi Tower or Tower Great Gi evil  (Mahabodhi Temple)

Great Bodhi Tower has a long history. Excavations by Sir Cunningham in 1872 revealed  three  construction phases of the tower.

The first phase of works by Asoka built in the 3rd century BC, known as the  Temple of Bodhi ( Bodhi Shrine), as illustrated in bas-mounted tower Bharhut  Stupa  in the 2nd century BCE.

The second phase is the restoration of the original Bodhi Shrine (Bodhi Shrine) by two devout Buddhist women,  Surangi  and  Nagadevi , wives of the Sunga Dynasty King  .

The third stage is a restoration work built by  Huviska , king of the Kusana  kingdom  in the 2nd century AD. Buddha images all come from this period. Tower temples were built to set these figures and statues. Mr. Cunningham said that the entire Great Bodhi Tower, as seen today, is mainly the work of King  Huviska  (AD 111-138). Because the tower was rebuilt on the basis of the original tower of King Asoka,  the Diamond Tower  ( Vajrasana Throne)), the position of the Buddha's meditation and Enlightenment, remains the same. In the 7th century, restoration was carried out and added basalt stones built on the old plasterboard. In the 19th century, the great restoration was conducted, under the supervision of professionals  Cunningham ,  Beglar  and  R . L . Mitra , restored the Bodhi Tower, after centuries of destruction by Muslims and neglect of the pagan Mahants. The glorious work that we see today is the result of  our precious devotion  and  contributions .

The Great Bodhi Tower is of course the most splendid and prominent work in the Bodhgaya Holy Land (Bodh Gaya). 52m high  , with a total square foundation area of 231 square  meters , each square side of 15.2 square  meters  (50 feet), consisting of  a large pyramid-  shaped tower and  four small towers  located at the four corners, are the  models. shrink  the large tower. ( H ình  9 ). The main gate faces east, in front of the gate is a stone salute built by King Asoka, very intricately carved. The concealed spaces of both sides of the stupa are engraved with Buddha images. Great Hall of the Palace ( SanctumOn the ground floor after going through an  arched passageway  ,  flanked  by a stone staircase  leading up to a smaller shrine located on the first floor. Immediately after entering the Great Hall, we will immediately meet a gilded stone Buddha statue in a sitting position with right hand on the ground (bhumi phassa-mudra) on the day of Enlightenment.

Just looking at the splendid statue of Buddha, the pilgrim's heart will surely  generate joy and  respect  ! It is the result of  trust  and  reverence for religion  people practice incense to follow the advice of the Buddha is  "up to visit and worship with devotion" .    

The gilded stone Buddha statue was made in  the 10th century  AD. Here, the Buddha is depicted in a sitting position on the (pads)  cushions , instead of on a lotus. The pedestal is placed on a longer, thicker pedestal, on a thicker wall that is engraved with lions and elephants respectively. The posture of sitting on the pedestal is a common feature found in many other images and statues of Buddha in East India, which can be made in the style of this statue. Many people were not aware that this statue was not placed here in the archeology around the Buddhagaya area by the British colonial government at that time. According to an article on "Bodh Gaya Sculptures in Sambodhi, 1993"  (Buddhagaya Sculptures in the Sambodhi, 1993), RL Mitra noted that the statue was placed in  Mahant's area. Later, at the request of Mr.  Cunningham  and  Beglar , (archaeologists conducting a major restoration, as mentioned above), the statue was moved to its current location in the Main Hall . Thanks to the merit and intervention of these two venerable people, the statue was placed in the right place in the Chief of the Hall for pilgrims to be admired, instead of being forgotten and wasted inside. party area of ​​the Hindu Mahant.

2) Bodhidruma (Bodhidruma)

Tree  Bodhi  ( Bodhi ), where the Buddha sat beneath and attain supreme enlightenment, standing behind the Great Bodhi Tower. It is a sock -Bat-La tree (belonging to the family  Ficus religiosa ), in Pali called the tree " assattha ", meaning peace.

Legend says that this tree sprouted at the same time the Buddha gave birth, as a kind of his sahajata - (English:  co-natal ). According to many commentaries, many different Buddhas also attained enlightenment when sitting under a tree, whatever tree that Buddha chose, and each of them became a Bodhi tree  , that is, the Enlightenment tree in the realm. of that Buddha. In this realm, the tree of Siddhartha becomes the Tree of  Enlightenment  or the Bodhi Tree   and only the  Bodhi Tree  of the Buddha of Champa is venerated. This Bodhi Tree relic   is the same symbolic representation of all the Buddhas. It is believed that nowhere in the world can  help for the majesty of the Buddha's Enlightenment. The ground here is very  solid ,  never shaken ,  moving  even when the earth shook the world to drive away the Demon King and his army to challenge and disrupt to make the  Bodhisattva  must. leave  the seat of  Enlightenment. Not even the King of Heaven,  Sakka Devaraja  , could fly past the Bodhi tree. The supernatural attraction in that place is called the Earth's Center of Point or  Navel.

In ancient times kings and commoners came to this place to worship the Bodhi tree. Since the Bodhi  tree  became the object of the honor of Buddhists, it was natural that it became the target of destruction by enemies of Buddhism. According to Huyen Trang, the  Bodhi Tree  was first cut down by  King Asoka,  but later, the King regretted that he  nourished the Bodhi Tree  by soaking it with aromatic water and fresh milk on the roots. The king showed such deep respect for the Bodhi tree that one of his current empress Queen ,  Tissarakkha , became envious of the  Bodhi Tree. and had the sneak destroy the tree. The King continued to revive the tree. After that, the King built a 3m high wall around the tree to protect it. After the fall of the Maurya Empire dynasty in the 2nd century BC, the Sunga king,  Pusyamitra,  who tortured Buddhism, destroyed the Bodhi Tree again  . But a seedling of the original Bodhi Tree itself   was brought from Sri Lanka, and was planted right there. In the 6th century AD,  Sasanka , a Hindu king, again destroyed the  Bodhi Tree ,  but later, a sapling of  Bodhi Tree  was brought back from Sri Lanka and replanted by King  Purvavarma. of Magadha (Ma-master-da), and he also built a 7.3m high wall to fence the  Bodhi Tree  . This wall is only 6.1m left when Huyen Trang visited in history.

In 1876, the   old Bodhi Tree fell down in a storm and a seedling of the  Bodhi Tree  was replanted in the same place by Mr.  Cunningham .  Up to now, this  Bodhi Tree  is 135 years old.

3) Vajrasana (Vajrasana)

Vajrasana is located between the Bodhi  Tree  and the Great Bodhi Tower. This point truly marks the seat of the Buddha at the realization of Supreme Enlightenment. Currently, this site is rated  seal by  a sandstone boulder 2.3m long, 1.3m wide and 0.9m thick ( H ình  10 ). Pilgrims arriving at this vantage point (full of mindfulness) should take the time to contemplate the Buddha's deeds in order to fully grow  in confidence  and  the bliss  gained through  mindfulness  to develop insight knowledge. close.

4) Buddha Remained 7 Places after Enlightenment

After enlightening to become a Buddha on the night of the Full Moon month of Wesak, at dawn, the Buddha sang silently a song of joy, full joy. He decided to continue sitting on the Vajrasana, an unbeaten and supreme seat before the war with the Demon King and he had fulfilled all his previous wishes, including his vow to become a Buddha. That was the time of the whole world, who still remembers to this day. And then, the Buddha fasted for seven weeks and stayed below and around the area near the base of the  Bodhi Tree .

In the second week, in order to express his deep gratitude to the Bodhi tree for protecting him throughout the time of meditation to attain enlightenment, he stood and watched the Bodhi tree for a week without winking ( Animisalocana ). Later, in this place, King Asoka erected a memorial tower called  Animisalocana Cetiva  and still remains today. ( H ình  11 ).

(iii) Third Week: Buddha Going Meditation (Cankama Sattaha)

During the third week, the Buddha walking up and down in the road near the Bodhi tree, the latter is called " Street Business Administration  Ngoc  Bau " ( Ratana Cankamana : Executive jewel diameter). ( H ình  12 ).

During the fifth week, the Buddha sat under the Ajapala Banyan tree to meditate on the Dhamma and instill the bliss of liberation. (Ajapala means "goat herder's place." The Banyan tree is a banyan tree, where the local goat herders usually rest while grazing the goats.) At the end of the week, when he came out of that supernatural state, a selfish Brahmin (Huhumka Jakita) came up to him and asked him "on what side and under what conditions he could." to become a saint (Brahmana)? ”. The Buddha answered and pointed out the qualities that a true brahmin should have. The location of this monument is marked by a stone tablet sign on the concrete pillar, inscribed with notes to commemorate. ( H ình  14 ).
