  Three Great Historical Days in Buddhism

According to the tradition of Buddhism-Nguyen-Thuy, there are 3 important historical days as follows:  

1 -  The full moon day of April  (lunar-lunar calendar) has 3 major historical events  coinciding with different times:  

*  Germany-Bodhisattva Parent-College-Enlightenment Siddhata   birthday-birth last life,  * Germany-Bodhisattva Parent-College-Enlightenment Siddhata  become Germany-Buddha-Parent-College-Enlightenment, whose title is  German-Buddha Gotama ,  *  Buddha-Gotama Buddha passed away  Nirvana.   

2- On the full moon of June  (lunar-lunar calendar),  Gotama Buddha  gave the first discourse on the  Dham- macakkappavatanasutta : Sutta-Dharma-Wheel,  

3-  On the full moon day of the first month  (lunar calendar),  the first congress of saints-A-ra-droughts is   1,250 .  

1 -  The full moon day of April  (lunar-lunar calendar)  has 3important historicalevents as follows:

* On the full moon day of April,  Germany-Bodhisattva Chanh-Dang-Enlightenment Siddhattha  in his last birth, at Lumbinī garden (now part of Nepal),

* On the full moon day of April, the  Buddha-Bodhisattva of Chanh-Dang- Enlightenment Siddhattha  turns 35 years old, attained the attainment of Buddha-Right-Dang-Enlightenment with the title of  Gotama Buddha , in Uruveḷā forest, (now called is Bodhgayā, India). 

Buddha-Gotama Buddha  has ceaselessly diligently sermon on the level of sentient beings: human beings, devas, and devas have been full 45 years.

* On the full moon of April,  Gotama Buddha  turned 80 years old, passed away from Nirvana called  Khandha-parinibbāna: Five-Aggregates-Nirvana, liberated the suffering of birth and death in the three-world, in the Kusinārā forest. (India). 

2 -  the fifteenth day of June  (lunar-calendar) , rounded exactly 2 months after becoming  German-Buddha-Parent-College-Enlightenment , approved the request of the Greatest-Pham Ps Sahampati,  Germany-Buddha Gotama  dwells go to the deer-free forest called Isipatana, near the city of Bāraṇasī, where there is a group of 5 bhikkhus, the Great-Elder-Elder Koṇḍañña, His Holiness Vappa, the Venerable Bhaddiya, the Venerable Mahānāma, Venerable Assaji.

On the afternoon of the full moon of that June, the sun was about to set to the west, the moon rose to the east, Buddha-Gotama gave the first discourse on the  Dhammacakkappavatanasutta : Sutta-Dharma-Wheel, to sacrifice the group of 5 bhikkhus. that.

After listening to Gotama Buddha, finishing this discourse on the Zhuan-Falun, the group of 5 bhikkhus born extremely happy-minded in the Buddha's teachings.

In that group of 5 bhikkhus, only the Grand-Chief-Elder Koṇḍañña was the first to realize the truth-four Noble Truths according to the Buddha, attained entry-save-Saint-Path, Enter-save- Holy-fruit and Nirvana, becoming the first Saint-Enter-save in the teachings of Buddha-Gotama, has a new name " Aññāsikoṇḍañña".

  The Great-Chief-Elder  Aññāsikoṇḍañña  respectfully asked the Buddha for permission to become a novice, a bhikkhu in the Buddha's teaching.

Buddha-Buddha held out his right hand, only with the index finger, said: "Ehi bhikkhū! Svākkhātodhammo, cara brahmacariyaṃ sammādukkhassa antakariyāya. ”

What a miracle! When the Buddha had just finished the sentence, at that moment, the old form of the Elder-Elder Aññāsikoṇḍañña disappeared, replaced by a new monk, the appearance was a  bhikkhu  with all eight items of the bhikkhu. -have been achieved by divine blessings. The Bhikkhu-khưu has solemn general, pure six-base like a bhikkhu with 60 lower.

He Dai-Head-old Annasikondanna become  're  monks first  in Germany-Buddhist teachings of Gotama. At that time, the  Three Jewels: The Buddha-Buddha, the German-Dharma-Bao, the Buddha-Sang-protected the first  three complete Three Jewels appeared in the world on the  full moon day of the sixth lunar month .

 3-  The full moon day of the first month  (lunar-lunar calendar) , exactly  9 months after becoming  Buddha-Chief-Chanh-Dang-Enlightenment,  has the title of Gotama Buddha . 

 During a period of 9 months, the Buddha-Buddha dwelled everywhere the sermon of sentient beings: human beings, devas, and gods also  realized the truth of the Four Noble Truths , with the number of attainments. Save-Saints, Enter-save-save-result becomes Saint-Enter-save; with the number of attained attained to Nhat-lai-Holy-Path, Nhat-lai-Holy-fruit becomes the saint-Nhat-hybrid; there is a number of witnesses coming to the Non-Holy-Path, the Non-Holy-fruit becomes the Saint-Non-hybrid; There is a number of attained to A-ra-drought-Holy-direction, A-ra-drought-Thanh-fruit becomes Saint-A-ra-drought. 

Becoming a Saint-human low or high, which level is completely dependent on the capacity of the Ba-la-secret dhammas and especially according to the capacity of the five legal masters: credit-deed, ton-dharma -owner, concept-legal-master, legal-master, intellectual-legal-owner of each of the saint-bar-disciple-disciple.

There are a number of Saint-Thanh-written disciples who ask the Buddha for permission to become a monk.

The Buddha-Buddha considers the past life of each Holy-person if he ever took a vow to leave the way called "Ehi Bhikkhu", the Buddha allowed renunciation in the way Ehi Bhikkhūpasampadā.

In this way, Buddha extended his right hand, with only his index finger, and taught:

“Ehi Bhikkhu! Svākkhāto dhammo cara brahma- kariyaṃ sammā dukkhassa antakiriyāya. ”

- Hey, please come here! I become a bhikkhu-khưu will. The Dharma that Tathagata preached, perfect in the first, middle, and last part. You should practice the right noble virtue that leads to attaining enlightenment into the last Saint-A-ra-drought that liberates suffering from samsara in the three worlds.

If any Holy-person has never made a vow to leave the house by the way called "Ehi Bhikkhu", the Buddha cannot call "Ehi Bhikkhu".

On the  full moon day of the first month  (9 months after becoming Buddha-Right-Dang-Enlightenment),  Gotama Buddha-Buddha  was staying at Veḷuvana temple, near the capital city of Rājagaha. At that time, there were 1,250 Saints-A-ra-droughts, each of them having the same thought: "I should go to serve Germany-World-Religion at Veḷuvana temple, on the full moon of this January.

This first congress of saints-A-ra-droughts  called " Sāvakasannipāta " has 4 genera:

1- The full moon day of January,

2- The Saints-A-ra-droughts include 1,250 people, each of whom came to Germany-World-Religion without informing each other. (1,250 saints-A-ra-droughts including a group of 1,000 of the 3 Kassapa brothers and a group of 250 of the two Supreme-Purified beings: Elder Sāriputta and Elder Mahāmoggallāna).  

3- The Saints-A-ra-Han consists of 1,250 monks only ordained in the way Ehi Bhikkhūpasampadā with Buddha-Buddha only.

4- The Saints-A-ra-drought including 1,250 people have attained Luc-information.

Then the Buddha taught ovādapatimokkha.

These three great historical days  of Buddhism have become  three important festivals  in Buddhism .

So every year, according to the Buddhist tradition, the countries that have Buddhism, each temple, each house, each row of disciple-disciple are renunciants or in the near-the-male, near-the -Women are doing very solemn celebrations in all forms, to pay homage to the throne of the Three Jewels, because these 3 important feast days have a special meaning:

* The full moon day of April is Buddha-Bao Day,

* The full moon day in June is German-French-Bao day.

* The full moon day of the first month is Duc-Tăng-Bảo day.

The image of the wheel in Buddhism

   

Falun symbol at Deer Park

It can be said that the most important image of the dharma still remaining is the wheel of dharma mounted on the top of the stone pillar adorned at Deer Park to mark the place where the Buddha turned the wheel of dharma according to the decree of King Ashoka. In 1905 FO Oertel discovered the broken parts of this stone pillar and on the body of this stone pillar was engraved with the edict of King Ashoka. On the top of this stone pillar is the statue of four lions facing four directions, looking extremely majestic and powerful. Above these four lions is the dharma image. These four lions sit on a drum depicted with four different beasts: lion, elephant, cow, and horse. Between these four beasts is the four wheel shape.

Evaluating the top sculpture of this stone pillar, researcher VA Smith made the following comment: “ It is difficult to find in any country a more unique or equivalent model of ancient animal sculpture. with this beautiful work of art, a work that successfully combines ideal quality and practical stereotype, and is completed in very precise detail . ” This dharma image at Deer Park was later simulated and depicted with the image of two deer lying on both sides in a position of freedom, attention, and joy. The deer on the right has a majestic and strong appearance, symbolizing the male and the female on the left has the soft and meek look of the female.

In addition to the symbolic meaning of the first turning of the wheel of dharma in Loc Uyen, the image of the dharma wheel and the pair of deer like that also expresses the beauty of life in seclusion, emanating under the Dharma, as well as the thought of compassion Nonviolence, symbiosis, the harmony between man and all things, between sentient and unconscious, according to the Buddhist teachings of dependent origination and non-self.

Like a peaceful ringing in the infinite universe, like the light of the sun spreading everywhere, deep into the darkest places of the globe, echoing love and the light of insight. That the Buddha arose from the ancient Ba-la-complaint that spread all over the world, penetrating into the veins of millions of hearts, from the emperors to those in misfortune.

His wheel of dharma transports ascetic masters like Kieu Tran Nhu to the holy realm, transforming the sensual passion of the female Ambapālī into the passion for the dharma, transforming the bloodthirsty of No-God. into the desire for holy results, turned the expeditionary ambition of King Ashoka into a self-conquering. Although a lay Buddhist, King Ashoka has successfully completed the mission of continuing and transporting the wheel of the Buddha throughout his kingdom, and then to neighboring countries and distant lands. . The king himself sent Buddhist missions to many different countries to carry out that mission.

Thanks to that Dharma wheel transport of King Ashoka, when India was invaded by foreign forces, Buddhism, though decimated in the homeland, but took root, proliferated and thrived in the regions. other land. The invisible, formless wheel of dharma that the Buddha transported at Deer Park was depicted by King Ashoka, a few hundred years later, on the majestic lion stone pillars with the aspiration of being the teachings of the Buddha as This mighty beast's roar will echo forever, and will be transported until the next thousand.

The miracle is that the wheel of dharma that King Ashoka built on a lion's stone pillar at ancient Deer Park has become a sacred symbol on the Indian flag and fluttering all over India.

The lion on the head of the stone pillar has also become the emblem of this country. After India gained its independence from the nonviolent struggle initiated by Mahatma Gandhi, while the constitutional council of India was busy drafting a constitution for the country, the matter of choice. The emblem for the national flag and emblem of India has been meticulously discussed by national leaders.

After a period of serious work, finally the lion image on the head of the stone pillar King Ashoka and the Buddha's dharma were chosen by the Indian leaders to be the national symbol. At 10 a.m. on July 22, 1947 in the presence of President Rajendra Prasad and the constitutional assembly, Jawaharlal Nehru, the first independent Prime Minister of India, boldly declared: " The The Indian period will consist of three horizontally symmetrical horizontal bands of saffron, white and dark green. In the middle of the white band will be a blue wheel representing the Chakra.

This wheel pattern is based on the model of the wheel located on the top of the lion-headed pillar of King Ashoka at Sarnath ... When it comes to the name of Ashoka, I want you to know that the period of Ashoka is inherently one. International chunk of Indian history. It was not a small national period. It was a period when the ambassadors of India were sent everywhere, to distant countries, not in the way of imperialism and imperialism, but as heralds of peace, of goodwill and culture . "

After being approved by the constitutional council, on August 15, 1947 the Buddha's dharma has officially become a symbol of freedom, prosperity, and happiness of the Indian people. Explaining the choice of the dharma as a national symbol as above, Dr. Ambedkar, the father of the Indian constitution said: “ When the issue of the flag and the emblem was considered by the co-constitutional revival, we did not can find a suitable symbol from Brahmin culture. In the end, the Buddhist culture saved us and we unanimously agreed to use the Dharma-Chakra as the symbol of the nation . ”

The philosophy of living through the image of the Wheel in Buddhism

a. Contact with life

In the operation of the flow of life, each person's life is like a wheel rolling steadily on the road of life. Interestingly, although the circumference of this wheel is very large, its contact with the ground is only a small point. Thus, the most realistic and most realistic values ​​of the wheel's operation are not at the points that have passed or the points that have not yet come into contact with the ground on the wheel, but are the current contact points. . Likewise, Buddhism considers life in the present moment of each person as the key to manipulating happiness in this life. Everything in the past, whether bitter failure or satisfying success is only in memories and dreams for the future are only an illusion in each person's mind. The present is the moment to show the true and flexible life of each person.

In order to create a life of real happiness and peace, people need to identify and come into contact with what they are in the present. Living in the present is real life and through that people can feel the true values ​​of life. That is real life and tremendous mystery.

b. Dhamma: the heart of Buddhism

The Buddha used to teach that one who sees (understands and experiences) the Dhamma sees the Buddha. Before entering Nirvana, the Buddha taught Ananda that after he passed away, he should consider the teaching as a teacher, as a lamp, and to rely on the Dharma. The Dharma that the Buddha realized on the night of his enlightenment is also the dharma that the Buddhas of the past and the future have and will realize. Therefore, what the Buddha taught are the truths about suffering and the way to escape suffering, yet peace in life taught by the Buddhas of the three generations. The Buddha did not allow his disciples to worship him as a god, a powerful lord, but should only consider him a guide. Those who live strictly with the Dharma and transport the wheel of dharma are worthy students of the Buddha's teachings. Buddhism does not focus on the Buddha, but rather with the Dhamma.

c. The advancement of knowledge and morality

The working of the wheel of dharma in today's society always implies two profound meanings: 1. The Buddha's teachings are always dependent but unchanging. Buddhism in each locality, country, each era has its own nuance, but converges towards a life of awareness and liberation; 2. Life is always a constant movement and change. Scientific civilization is advancing like a storm, but if people only focus on material development and lack of spiritual or spiritual progress, people will fall into deep psychological crises. important, and that will be the cause of the breakdowns of personal happiness, family, and society.

Therefore, if the journey of a human life is a vehicle, then the carriage must consist of two sets of wheels paralleling both material and spirit. Spiritual life is an essential element to relieve obstacles in the spiritual life, creating a necessary balance in daily life of each person. Therefore, from the Buddhist point of view, along with the wheel of civilization, it is necessary to have the wheel of dharma to create human harmony and happiness.

d. Transformation of the spiritual world

The spiritual world is one is a world in which each practitioner goes on a low to high, from mortal to holy path, like a wheel going over a rolling hill. The higher it goes, the more magical and beautiful the world is, but the more difficult and difficult it is. Therefore, spiritual practitioners need to have a lot of energy, patience and strong determination to achieve their spiritual attainment.

Conclude:

Among the popular symbols in Buddhism, perhaps the wheel of dharma is the most important one because it represents the essence of Buddhism: the teachings of the Buddha. From a symbol that appeared a long time ago in ancient Indian culture, the Buddha used this image as the main symbol of Buddhism as soon as he taught the first discourse in his cultivating life at the garden. Nai, that is Zhuan Falun. The teachings of Buddhism are passed down continuously as a wheel is transported from the past to the present, from the present to the future. With this symbol, Buddhism always aims to a higher and uplifting desire in everyone's life. Life is something that is constantly changing, but those changes are directed towards a spirit of morality and a clear spirituality that will bring more happiness to human life.5.END=NAM MO AMITABHA MONASTERY=GOLDEN PRAYED AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.12/10/2020.
