The Greatness of Buddha.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH. "If you want to see the noblest man of mankind, look at the Emperor in a beggar's attire. It is that Buddha. His divine sublime is great among man." Buddha is a man with a special sublime personality, unique in the history of mankind. A writer in Europe said: "There is nowhere in the world of religion, cult, and belief that we can find such a shining monk! Among all the stars, he is the greatest, giant star. A number of scientists, philosophers, and culturalists have declared about him "The greatest man ever." The aura of this great teacher illuminates the world of suffering and darkness. , like a beacon that guides and enlightens humanity. " (Buddhism in the Eyes of Intellectuals) I. WHO IS A BUDDHA? Who is Buddha? A question has been posed over 25 centuries; The skeptical comments, criticisms, and statements and praises filled with determination of belief in human beings towards the Buddha, are up to now still an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Because as Carl Jung, a psychologist, said: "Your vision is always limited by what you have and are." Therefore, with different perspectives, people will have different emotions and views about the Buddha. The Buddha's teaching stems from his own personal experience, a different kind of experience from common experience. So it is impossible to correctly understand the Buddha, as in the sutras that only Buddha and Buddha can understand each other. During the time of the Buddha's life, his opponents often criticized and slandered him with trivial words or philosophical rhetoric, such as saying that he still desired fame, he was the advocate of sabotage. life (Magandiya Sutras), which criticized him for not having the special ability of the saints (the Sutras of the Lions) for him to be a magician using magic (the Sutra of Prosperity) v. v ... Besides criticism, words of praise are also very rich. The intellectuals of society often praised him: "Like a man who rebuilds what has been thrown, reveals what is hidden, shows the way to the misguided, brings a light into darkness" (Central Kinh Kinh). Whether he is criticized or praised, he is still calm, not agitated, not dissatisfied, not happy. A pagan praised Buddha, saying: "What a miracle! Fake Religion Gotama! How rare! False religion! Gotama! Oil for fake Gotama was opposed in a frivolous way, even though it was attacked with accusations in the dialogue, skin color." The false religious is still discerning, the false religious face is still rejoicing as an enlightened Arahant. " (Great Sutras of Saccaka) He is often called the Guru or the Medicine Doctor, because he shows everyone the way of liberation and he cures human suffering. Some of the suttas in the original suttas interestingly record the Buddha's statements about himself. Here are a few examples: One day, on the way to Deer Park to transport the wheel of Dharma, he met a Taoist named Upaka. The Taoist asked, "Hey, Friends! The five judges of the Faithful are extremely pure. The skin of the Tao is so pure and fresh. Why, Friends, why did the Tao give up family life? Who is the Taoist who propagates the teachings of the faithful? The Buddha replied: "Tathagata has surpassed all, Tathagata has understood all. Tathagata has overcome all bondage Tathagata has escaped all The Tathagata has devoted all its energy to eradicate desire. Having understood all, who the Tathagata also call a teacher? No one is the teacher of the Tathagata No one is equal to the Tathagata. In this world, including the devas and the Brahma No one can compare with the Tathagata. Indeed, the Tathagata is an Arahant in this world. The Tathagata is the Supreme Master; Tathagata alone is omniscient, tranquil and pure The Tathagata is coming to Kàsi to transport the Dharma wheel between the blind world. The Tathagata will rise to the emptiness of immortality. " Upaka asked retorted: "This fellow, so that the faithful have claimed to be A-la-Han, a super powerful, immeasurable person?" The Buddha determined: "All the superheroes who have conquered all of their defilements are like the Tathagata. The Tathagata has conquered and destroyed all evil and evil. So, Taoist Upaka, Tathagata is a superhero "(Bible pray to the TBK). The Buddha made it very clear that he was the one who conquered all defilements, so he was the highest person in the world. This is the first declaration of the absolute sublime value of the Buddha to all living beings. Heaven and earth are only unique "(In heaven under heaven only Tathagata is the ultimate). His life of propaganda proved that what he declared as above was the truth. Once there was a pagan sect who wanted to consult the Buddha morally because they heard that Buddha was the one who overcame all defilements, attained complete purity. They discussed and sent people to monitor the Buddha continuously for seven days to see if the Buddha is truly as pure as it is said. In the end, the person sent to supervise returned reported that: Indeed, the Gotama Satan is perfect in sleep as well as awake until the slightest movements like when He walks through a puddle or He pulls his clothes up. . . are full of holiness. (Central Kinh Kinh) Other times when criticized for Buddha's abilities and purposes, after analyzing their mistakes, the Buddha taught that: "Hey Sari putta, those who want to talk about me properly must say this: (The Buddha is) A sentient being unaffected by ignorance, born forever for the sake of their happiness. birth, because of the love for life, for benefit, for happiness, for the peace of the gods and for mankind "(Kinh Su Tu Hung, Trung Bo Kinh). This statement expresses the quality of a Buddha as Full Wisdom (not dominated by ignorance) and endless love of salvation for all beings. II. BUDDHISM OF BUDDHA All the powers of the Buddha are derived from His Enlightenment, that is, from the content of realizing the Noble Path of Noble Truth under the Bodhi tree. Once a non-Buddhist monk named Vacchagotta asked the Buddha that: Bach Duc The Ton, I heard people say that Gotama is the one who is unanimous, the most constructive, he considers himself to have perfect knowledge. All, when walking, standing, sleeping, when knowledge always exists and continuously. Bach The Ton, the things that people say so are true with the truth, do they slander the Blessed One? The Buddha replied that they said that was not true of what he said, was slandering me. Thus the Buddha denied that he had a kind of Wisdom which is always present and ubiquitous, while awake and during sleep. Vacchagotta asked: what should I say? The Buddha taught that if you want to say it right, you have to say that Gotama is a person with three vindas. When we want, we will remember many past lives, such as one life, two lives ... to many past lives with outlines and details. Look, Vacchagotta, if I want to, with the pure Heavenly eye, we can see the life and death of sentient beings, the people who lower the nobles, the beauties that give birth to the poor, the lucky and the unfortunate ... all due to their deeds. . This Vacchagotta, with the cessation of the contraband or, right in the present, with the upper wisdom, one dwells in the free world, liberating wisdom. Saying that is right about me. (The Tripitaka Vacchagotta) Thus Tam Minh: Self-realization, Thien eye-minh and Lau-minh are the realization content of the Buddha. Especially, only Buddha has a complete Ba vidya, although on the path of practicing the Ba vidya is always considered to be the ultimate achievements of an enlightened practitioner. This may be one of the differences between Buddha and disciple. The enlightenment process begins with: "Ly education cup unwholesome law, evidence and stay in meditation first, a state of bliss due to renunciation of education, has range of four. Neither range nor four, the inner calm of the mind, Ly happy to stay in discharge, mindfulness of calm, the body of the blissful feeling that the saints call the third peacefulness of mindfulness, discharge, and the third meditation. Priority has felt before, evidence and stay in meditation Wednesday, no suffering, no stray, pure discharge. The Buddha and his disciples all go through the Four Jhānas, on the basis of the fourth meditation, the calm and gentle mind, easy to use, the practitioner can focus his attention on the objects of the Six Divine Sutras or the Three Virtues, realizing. ultimate. This is the first route. This roadmap was encouraged and became very popular. Most of the teachers are in this direction. The second path is from the fourth meditation, passing through the infinite origin, is overcoming material perception, obstructions of thought. Focusing on nowhere is boundless, and dwells Not boundless origin. Overcoming continued evidence and boundless consciousness. Overcoming boundless consciousness and residing Without possession. Overcoming non-possession of the provenance and staying in the Non-African Non-African Origin. Overcoming the Non-African Non-thought origin, attesting and staying Eliminate Tho Tuong Dinh. From this samadhi attained Ba minh. This road the Buddha also went through. (Discernment Sutra of Six Countries, The Sutta For The Example of a Bird) In the Theravada Sutta, there is no record of any saint who claims to have proven himself. Often they were introduced to witness A-la-Han, the Killing Thought of Thought, and eradicate the contraband (equivalent to Gonorrhea). In the Six Pure Sutras, the Buddha teaches about the training process of a bhikkhu when he has attained the fourth meditation: "With a calm, pure mind without defilement, no defilements, easy-to-use, steady and calm mind, I lead my mind, my mind focused on Gonorrhea. I know as real: This is suffering, here it is. is the cause of suffering, this is suffering cessation, this is the path leading to suffering. Knowing as real: These are contraband, this is the cause of contraband, this is contraband or eradicated, this is the way lead to piracy or eradication. So it is necessary for the disciples to get rid of "contraband, contraband ignorance" in order to achieve "the end of birth, the virtue of being done, the work to be done; no more returning to this state. again." From that we can clearly see that the disciples' Divine powers are limited, and the spirituality of the disciples is not tied to divine powers, so we are not surprised to see Mister Muc- Lien is said to be the number one disciple of the Holy Disciple. The Buddha did not encourage his disciples to enter the divine powers such as Divine Medicine, Divine Eyes, and Mindfulness, Sacrifice, and Heavenly Eyes; he attaches special importance to and encourages his disciples to focus on Rooster and Ming to achieve the ultimate goal, liberating samsara. The divine powers are of no help to a person who has not yet removed the defilements of the mind. The process of Buddhist witnessing is a breakthrough series, overcoming all challenges by experiment. All the volatile dhammas transcend, attain the abiding immobility of the dhammas. Especially in the states of the Four Jhānas arose a feeling of happiness (blissfulness), even in the Three vows there were feelings of happiness, but those feelings existed without dominating his mind. ). For the divine powers, he attained one by one, one by one, before he became a Buddha. During the night of his enlightenment, he attained the last 3 divine powers in the order of Enlightenment, Divine eye communication and Gonorrhea. Buddha taught: "When I have not realized the Right Path of Enlightenment, I have tried my best to practice the 5 Dharma: I have been practicing Divine sufficiency with Sexuality and need to practice, Diligent determination in need of planet, Concentration of planetary need of planetary The Sangha is diligent, depending on which dharma we direct our mind to, we can attest to that "(Sangha II). There is no dharma that obstructs the Buddha, there is no dharma that the Buddha does not clearly see and know, so disciples often call him the Dharma King. III. CONCLUDE On the 2545th anniversary of the Buddhist enlightenment, a few words about the greatness, purity, and realization of the Buddha were just to show the respect of the Buddha's son and to pay tribute to the person who was born. path of liberation for humanity. With finite words amid a life full of pollution, people cannot fully praise the greatness of the Buddha. Ananda also once said about the greatness of Buddha: "Hey Brahmin, the One who gives rise to a path that has never been opened before, makes a path that has never been previously known, speaks of a path that has never been said before. ; is the person who understands the way, knows the way and is skillful in the direction. " In closing, take the words of a Muslim poet, Abdul Atahiya praises the Buddha: "If you want to see the noblest man of mankind, look at the Emperor in a beggar's attire. It is that Buddha. His divine sublime is so great among man."
