Mala Bodhi OF EMPIRE LESSON 91-SURVIVAL CHAINS OF BODHISATTVA We have examined the path of the Buddha . After completing the path of enlightenment , the Buddha became a disciple . Disciple more radical difference: Rooftop units and central units . The lower base and lower paralysis cannot absorb the Dharma . Buddha is the teacher of heaven and human realm . Therefore, the practice steps of the monks at that time had a different point from the paththat Buddha had experienced . Today we try to meditate more on the practice path of the Bodhisattvas , that is, under the policy of the Development System. I would like to remind you a bit about the history of Development. The Buddha considered passing away around 483 BC. After about 3 months, Maha Kassapa he summoned the United aggregation Classics th I. Up until 100 years later, as the congregation is still uniform, practice according to the teachings of the Buddha to hear and learn by heart and then passed by word of mouth between teacher and disciple . By the year 383 BC (100 years after the Buddha's death ) he Yasas convene periodically Aggregation Classics II, then the congregation split into two sects large because of differences of opinion about the teachings and precepts : 1- Elder or Venerable / Theravada . 2- General ministry / Mahà Sanghikas THE PUBLIC OFFICE From 100 to 200 years after the Buddha's death , 8 more sects were divided THE MINISTER OF THE MINISTER From 200 to 300 years after the Buddha's death , 10 more sects were divided . United Aggregation classic The Third (about 250 BC) by Mr. Moggaliputta Tissa (belonging to the Theravāda) chaired the auspices of King Ashoka / Ashoka (reigned from 268- 232 BC), aggregation Tripitaka written the Pali: sutras Nikaya, Vinaya , Abhidharmic . United Aggregation classic Fourth (around the second century AC) by Mr. Vasumitra (under sect Sarvastivada , was soon separated from the system Theravāda) chaired the patronage of King Kanishka / Ca Nị Sac ( The reign of King Ca Ni Sac was around 120- 144 AC). His Holiness Ma Minh as deputy, literary profit for the Tripitaka Sanskrit texts: The gama Sutra , Vinaya , Abhidhamma . His Holiness Ma Minh has a collection of treatises gathered in the treatise, named: Mahayana initiates treatise . It is possible that from there, formed later in the Mahayana movement , to oppose the Theravāda system called Hinayana , or the second line of power ( Prajñā and Dependent Origination .) The Mahayana system considers themselves Mahayana , or the most beautiful Buddha . (This title lasted until 1954-1956, at the International Buddhist Conference in Burma, co- decided from now on, the Hinayana system reclaimed the name Theravada, the Mahayana system called Development.) The path of Hinayana is Arahantship , which advocates when the mind is completely pure , no longer contraband , or clears all 10 fetters , is liberation , realizing nirvana while alive and after leaving the body. then stay in nirvana , be completely liberated , stop rebirth . While the path of Mahayana practice , which is the Bodhisattva path , advocates after completing the Arahant , when leaving the body, not abiding in nirvana , but taking eternal rebirth to educate sentient beings . Call it the Bodhisattva 's mind until the fullness of Buddhahood is attained . The generous Mahayana system advocates that talented Patriarchs can write sutras. So many Mahayana sutras appeared , no one knew the real author . These sutras have value development of all the big, the truth ultimately in France. Featured is the system of Prajna Paramita , including the Diamond Sutra , in addition to the set of other major such as Flower Adornment Sutra , of Vimalakirti , the Lotus Sutra , Lankāvatāra , economic Player Surangama vv..Nhung truth ultimately is: Truth as emptiness, emptiness , emptiness Illusory, Y Duyen nature. (provisional view Y Duyen Nature is truth fundamental , important, because it explains the original source of the establishment , operation goes to septic death of the earth , and from that we can realize the essence of the world is not , is Huyen, is Chan like .) In the Bodhisattva Sutta , the path of the Bodhisattva 's practice has many complicated stages , the explanation of the Tenth is very long and difficult to understand. Many later teachers also interpret differently. Therefore, she only wrote down her teacher's essay , she did not discuss or explain further, afraid that she was subjective , maybe wrong . They ponder and investigate in what they are capable of. Article enjoy the best path initiates are themselves discovering every day more insightnew. She only highlights (bold) a few important words for us to pay attention to, that's all. Here, she has the world at a glance 10 phase practice of bodhisattva that teacher we 've ever taught, the intent is proven path studied by us in agreement with the method of cultivation system Theravāda, and also of a general contract with Development system, is directed to be entered topic legs like . Following is all of his teacher preparation courses taught in Prajna Range III yore . EXAMPLE OF THE LOCATION IN DEVELOPMENT BUDDHA Depending on the assessment of various Buddhist Patriarch in Development, should have many kinds The Venue with different guidelines are set . Here is an example of Mahayana tenth level bodhisattvas are notes in Hoa Nghiem 's United doing . We summarize as follows: 1. happy place : Stage excited : Land / Stage of great joy. Knowing human selflessness , legal selflessness . Experiencing or realizing the meaning of the feet is as ubiquitous in the world of phenomena . This is a great joy because now we understand the true meaning of the truth . 2. Geocomposition : Pure phase: Land / Stage of perfect purity. To begin practicing, the Bodhisattva strictly observes morality . Through the wisdom to keep the purity of the world , Bodhisattva no entanglements generals that remains makes the world can be purified from the heart. Body, speech, and mind are pure . Conscious self-transfer. Moral purity . Far away from defilements . 3. Luminescence address : Stage glow: Land / Stage of luminosity. After the leg as present in the process set-lily, obstruction of ignorance suppressed (suppressed), lust and delusion (the Delusion of desire-covetousness) also suppressed under. The darkness in the mind is gone . The spirit becomes clear . But the mind hasn't really stopped. 4. Diem wisdom : Bright wisdom stage : Skt: Land / Stage of glowing wisdom. This is the stage when the concepts of " I" and " mine" are removed . Settle is (self-Belief), conceit (self-conceit), down affinity (self-love), and falls Education (self- desire) is the part of subtle least inside the heart also disqualified . However , during this period, the Bodhisattva has not really stopped the delusion that is still latent in the mind. 5. Pole won local nan : Phase extremely difficult: Skt: (Land / Stage of the mastery of utmost Difficulties. This is extremely difficult phase to achieve the status completely stop conception. Since Bodhisattva must fuse the two location: open position (worldly knowledge) and basic position (f undamental knowledge) to make way breaks the delusion potential (the delusion and potencial thoughts) in mind. continuous location , every inference , distinguished , to compare . The basic mind is to know clearly , not to deduce. In this stage heart leg as specific know things: 1) No distinction samsara and nirvana . 2) There is no tendency to flee the phenomenal world . In this stage, Chan as not only self-aware nature usually (the common essence) of the existing phenomena (phenomenal Existence) which simultaneously realize (simultaneously recognizes) the image ripple in mind and happenings the contours of those images are like the selfits own self-appearances. That is why this period is called "extremely difficult." 6. Show frontage : The " face directed towards" phase: Land / Stage of " the face directed towards." This is the stage to face with the title meditation (meditations and contemplations) different, is practicing with the grace of the image , idea , concept and purpose type gradually perspective dualism . In this period the difficult problem posed is the mind's instinct to continuously interpret the thing in front of it. It does not come out of infatuationlatent within it whether it be said that any interpretations like that is wrong. Because it is impossible to get out of duality . Therefore, the Truth as the case often is still mind -distorting (distortedly vẫn). Mind as an object or thing separates itself from or transcends it. But in the end the Bodhisattva also passed the stage of treatment or energy, in meditation to step into a far-off world . 7. Far away: the stage of going far away: Land / Stage of going far away. Took on many areas of treatment or the two sides of intellectual distinction as pure / impure, birth / Removal, good / evil when applying meditation , which addresses the Bodhisattva was actually suppressed by point dualistic and becomes pure formless (meaning there is absolutely no image that arises automatically in the mind.). The Bodhisattva has actually gone further towards those who still followmeditation of the Nhi Thua (Thinh Van and Duyen Giac ). 8. Real estate : Land / Stage of non-agitation, Immovable. Completely achieved formlessness . Through No, Bodhisattvas perceive (comprehends) all things absolutely not made and no different than unconditioned law or reality no conditions . Through intuition , the Bodhisattva office in infertility Justice (The Unborn dharma), he was up to the dishes , the realm Real . This is the state of the foot as self-realization . Mind not 5 scenes in front of 5 scenes exposed , through which 3 poisonous greed , anger, and ignorance no longer arise. Negativity self terminate . Do not fall into the four major prohibitions in the precepts, such as lust, murder, religion and aspiration . Do not change your mind. Here, he gained position very afraid (the unimpeded knowledge), very distinguished position . This wisdom is the foundation of Buddha nature . [In the treatise of Dai Tri Do , Nagarjuna corroborated this reason and made it easy to understand (clarified), when attained." Unborn ring measures ," Bodhisattva give physical body (physical body) finally, and in dishes , achieve dharmakaya .] In Dish , Legs As self-realization . 9. Good wisdom : Good wisdom stage : Land / Stage of the good wisdom. Yes means location intellectual distinction put it best (finest discriminating wisdom). By countless forms of meditation and formula illusory, Bodhisattva achieve infinity (the immeasurability) of Buddha Nature , ie intellectual transcendental (transcendental wisdom). This is the stage Chan as create energy metabolism center, Bodhisattva achieve 4 power very afraid (unhindered) or infinite (unlimited powers) of the interpretations and arguments (-the interpretation and reasoning). That is from unafraid , the French is not afraid , Nghia is not afraid , the defense is not afraid . [Known as the Four Immeasurable Solution or the Four Immeasurable Arguments .] 1) About Words , thanks to the communication of the use of the word without hesitation , when teaching the Bodhisattva, we know many ways to use words that are suitable for each subject of dhamma. study or practice . Bodhisattvaalways apply the words right place, the right place to make the teachings are clear and easy to understand . 2) Regarding the Dharma, in all cases the Bodhisattva applies the appropriate dharma study and practice of each facet . Inborn always absorb the full and explicit names, sentences, words, words. 3) That, Bodhisattva explain the meaning ultimately the language used (expressions) are used in the law, not stalled, sound clarity , clear. Listeners absorb easily. This is called Truth as (Tathatà) shows the ability to explain and understand all kinds of meanings and expressions. 4) Measure resources , Bodhisattva fluency in words, in writing owl ; content is always presented completely skillfully and in accordance with the dharma . Language is not interrupted when giving teachings to listeners. 10. Dharma geography : The period of the Good Clouds of France. Land / Stage of Dharma clouds.
