IDEAL VIRTUES OF THE BUDDHA.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
The Buddha is the embodiment of all ideal virtues. In him we see the embodiment of the highest morality (sila), deepest concentration (meditation) and profound wisdom (hui) - virtues unmatched and unmatched in history. human. The noble virtues recorded in the sutras, the teachings of the Buddha.
Buddhists around the world recite and practice the nine supreme virtues written in the Pali paradigm, in their daily practice. Although the Buddha had many other noble qualities, here in this framework only nine are taken out. Not to mention that in some schools of Buddhism, adherents have cited several Buddhas alluding to some of the Buddha's great qualities. However, regardless of the way the Buddha is presented, practically all the historical Buddhas that appear in this world from time to time are imbued with those same virtues, along with the same enlightenment. So it makes no difference to respect any particular Buddha, if the chosen Buddha is a real Buddha. Therefore, there is no reason to think that this Buddha is supernatural or superior to that Buddha.
The following verses, in Pali, highlight the intrinsic qualities of the Buddha that Buddhists recite as they honor the Buddha:
"Itipi So Bhagava Araham Samma-Sambuddho
Vijja-Carana-Sampanno Sugato Lokavidu
Anuffaro Purisa Damma-Sarathi Sattha Deva-
Manussanam Buddha Bhagavathi"
The truthfulness of this verse cannot be doubted as it derives from many important texts of the Tripitaka according to established Buddhist standards as well as from the forty methods of thinking meditation on the Virtues. of the Buddha.
A brief transliteration from Pali is as follows:
Araham - Appreciation (one who is worthy of receiving offerings from people and deities because of the cessation of afflictions), Samma Sambuddhdho - Right Understanding (one who knows all dharmas); Vijjacarana Sampanno - Perfection of Wisdom (one with sufficient wisdom and virtue); Sugato - Good Oath (have done good deeds, on the way to Nirvana); Lokavidu - World Interpretation (one who understands worldly knowledge); Anuttaro Purisadamma-Sarathi - The Supreme Master Maneuvering Master (the highest in the class of beings who rule over himself as a man holding a reins on a horse to enter a good path); Sattha-Deva-Manussanam - Thien Nhan Sphin (the teacher of men and gods, teaching what to do and what not to do); Buddho - Buddha (fully enlightened one); Bhagavathi - World Honored One (the highest rank in the world, respected by all worlds, all sentient beings)
1- Araham - Offering
The Buddha describes an Ascendant having five main aspects:
* removed all smudging;
* have destroyed all the enemies involved in removing the defilements;
* has destroyed the spokes supporting the wheel of life (life's ups and downs);
* worthy of consular offerings and honor;
* does not keep his identity nor his teachings a secret.
The Buddha is the greatest figure in human history, with a life of perfection, infallible, blameless and spotless. Under the Bodhi tree he conquered all demon kings and attained the highest noble fruition. He put an end to all suffering and attained Nirvana. He is a person who is honored and respected all over the world in every way. His teachings contained no occult or secret, like a book open to all who wished to see.
2. Samma-Sambuddho - Right Transformation
The Buddha is called the Rightly Enlightened One because he understood life in the world from the right perspective, and he discovered the Four Noble Truths through his insight. Born a prince, he renounced the world and struggled for six long years to find enlightenment. During that time, he reached out to all the famous masters, he practiced all their methods. He had achieved all and was equal to his teachers, but still could not find the light of enlightenment. Finally, on the basis of rational inquiry and understanding, and entering the middle path, starting from the traditional way of this famous religious belief and practices, he found the solution. finally to the common problems of dissatisfaction, conflict and dissatisfaction (Suffering) in the universe. He discovered the Law of Dependent Origination - the Law of Cause and Effect,
3. Vijja-Carana Sampanno - Minh Hanh
The phrase 'Minh Hanh Sac' means that the Buddha was endowed with a clear vision of perfection and an exemplary moral character. Two significant aspects are found in the three jhānas and the eight jhānas. Those three degrees of knowledge are:
* First, the Buddha could recall past births and could look back on his and other's past lives.
* Second, in addition to being able to review the past, he has a unique vision of being able to see the future and visualize the entire universe at any given moment.
* Third, he has profound knowledge of the holy nature (four sravakas).
Regarding the eight degrees of wisdom, the Buddha is only endowed with wisdom, supernatural powers of performing feats, heavenly hearing, other mental powers, and many physical miracles, the ability to recall past births, divine powers. clairvoyance, and keen knowledge of a life of purity and holiness.
With regard to the word "Carana" or moral conduct, this aspect is divided into fifteen types or classes of virtues pervading the Buddha. Other added virtues are classified as restraint in actions and speech, restraint in persevering senses, moderation in the use of food, avoidance of excessive sleep, keeping faith pure, knowing shame in sin, fear in sin, thirst for knowledge, energy, attention, and understanding four tendencies associated with the material realm - Panna and Karuna reflect as wisdom and compassion , both are essentially twins while karuna gives him the compassion to serve humanity. Through wisdom he perceives what is right and wrong for all sentient beings, and out of compassion he leads his followers from sin and sorrow.
4. Sugato - Goodwill
The Buddha is also called the Good One, which means that his path is good, that is to say, is excellent, and the words and methods used are very harmonious and blameless. The path to righteous happiness is pure and righteous, without distortion, straightforward, and certain.
His teachings are infallible. Many famous historians and great scientists have commented that the only teaching that stands unchallenged by science and free-thinkers is the teaching of the Buddha.
5. Lokavidu - The World Solved
The term Lokavidu (World Interpretation) used with the Buddha as someone with great world knowledge. The Great Teacher is experienced and has a profound understanding of all aspects of life, both materially and spiritually. He was the first to observe that there are thousands of world systems in the universe. He was the first to declare that the world is nothing but a conceptual world. According to him, it makes no sense to speculate on the origin and end of the world or universe. In His view, the origin of the world, the end and the way to the end will be found within the conceivable depth - the long body (one stride) - the person with awareness and consciousness. .
6. Anuttaro Purisa-Damma-Sarathi - Supreme Master Maneuvering Scepter
Anuttaro (Supreme Master) means peerless and no one can surpass. Purisa-damma refers to a person endowed with the Dharma and Sarathi means a leader. These three words speak of an unparalleled leader capable of bringing people to the right path. Among those who decided to follow the Dharma path and stay away from sin were notorious murderers like Angulimala, Aavaka, Nalagiri, hundreds of thieves, cannibals, and stubborn like Saccake. All of them were imbued with the Dharma and some attained sainthood in their present lives. Even Devadatta, the arch enemy, was restored by the Buddha due to his great compassion.
7. Sattha Deva-Manussanam - The Sphinx of Heaven
Translated this phrase means that the Buddha is the teacher of gods and humans. Noting 'devas' (God) used in this context means beings who, by virtue of their good karma, have passed the human stage but are not the final stage of biological evolution. Heaven in the Buddhist context has nothing to do with ancient myths. The Buddha was an exceptionally flexible teacher capable of dividing in a very technical way the spiritual levels of the heavens and the men. He taught people to live by the righteous path. Buddha is the universal Teacher.
8. Buddho -
The special epithet Buddho, seems to repeat a second time, although it has a broader connotation. Buddho means omniscient, omniscient Lord who can convince others with his great discovery through his art of teaching others the Dharma. His technique is unmatched by any other master. Buddho also has the second meaning of "awakening" because the normal state of man does not cease to be in a state of stupor. The Buddha was the first to "awake", and shake off the stupor. He then persuaded others to stay awake, and to stay away from a state of stupor or stupor.
9. Bhagava - The Blessed One
This word refers to the Buddha, the word 'Buddho' or 'Bhagava' used individually or combined. .
Worthy of fear and reverence, the Blessed One is his name. So the word 'Bhagava' has many meanings as suggested by some critics. The Buddha is called the World-Honored One because he is the happiest and luckiest person among mankind who has conquered the demon king, has taught in detail the highest Dharma, and is a man endowed with supernatural intellectual abilities. ordinary.
The Nine Great Qualities of the Buddha can be used as a subject for meditation if the interpretations of each particular word are carefully studied and the true purpose and nature are grasped and understood. . Just skimming through paragraphs, not fully comprehending cannot be considered effective even with devotion. The best method is to recite it over and over while grasping the complete meaning of the expressions. In doing so, one should also focus on such valid qualities as the real virtues that should be actively imitated by all followers of the Buddha.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.7/12/2021.
