A. Lead type

A religion, not as deep or subliminal thúy, also is still the product of society. Is a product of society, of course religion affect society and at the same time influenced by contrast. Such is the inevitable thing.

Living with the peoples national geographic circumstances and influences the climate, nature, created for India have a history of different countries of the world. Such is the particular problems of India and far, where the mountain forests, deep u, continue to call the Green continent (Pays blues), has influenced many to the stream of thought , progress and freed soon appeared. Indeed, any religion, doctrine, socialism would, when born, is starting to reflect the (not so little) of the plight, climate, social, geographical, racial that creation. If consider it beyond real, of course probably can not comprehend. Buddhist culture charm meets characters like that germination and promotes evolution ...

Buddhism has a history of over two thousand years, East-West, spread influence throughout the continent. In the process, spread over each time, Buddhism back depending on the social status of every facility that has at least several variations of identity. So, want to say to the point of origin of Buddhism, could not not go deeply into the historical context of the country India. This is a very broad topic, but when going in, we have to go through the steps to learn about social, politics India before the advent of the Buddha; religious thought and philosophy before the period of The World Religion world export etc. From here, we see more clearly the importance and sacred meaning noble in the birth of the Ðản Houses.

But the correspondence program must have meaning to this huge topic be presented in a more favorable occasion of both space and time. For that reason, would be through a detailed historical context section; just highlight here some transitional role and go straight into your history The Sakyamuni, a great master of all human life.

Before The advent of the Religious World, about religious ideology, philosophy as well as political, social and economic facts extremely complex. With classic French Manoa (Mànu) both in politics and religion has to assign activities full of injustices in society and contribute to bringing the two dominant Brahmana caste (Brahmin hierarchy) along Ksatriya (Suicide capital of the God-King) up to sit firmly on the two estates comfort of people, social scorn , are not protected by law, the general part is no creed and lauded classics Veda (Phệ Da), there are two working class Vaisya (Property Phệ) and worse is Sùdra (Da La Capital).

Thought India time nearly the same as the lifetime of the warring ideologies in ancient China. In terms of the society before the Buddha Christmas near 100 years before Christ, the century 14 La vogue. But also due to the monopoly of the clergy which religious ethics at the time had only superficial flaunt rituals. Due to the mode of social life should not fair, people are not free, that sociopathic thoughts arise, the raging superstition in society. The number of Eastern ascetic disciplines according to tu with the perception that the new framework is familiar with something close to suffering, and will see often and not feel miserable. There are people who believe ascetic seclusion will be contentious over the Sun enjoying the fun thing. In a different way, social skeptic thought arose, denied all religious values, ethics and causation. Come up on the concept, they thought advocating resistance. In addition to the positive cult according to the Veda, the democratic system such as: hedonistic, rhetoric, asceticism, skeptical ... continue to emerge.

The Catechism Veda (Phệ Da) takes place in three stages, often called three times: Phệ Da Qian (Veda 2500 – 1000 BC), the Letter (Brahmana 1000-800 BC), the Upanishads (Upanishads 800-600 BC), which is a temporary strategy divided into status of religious ideology of the nation India from polytheism to God , and from God to the field of philosophy in three stages on. In parallel with the happenings of this movement, Apr 3 had the sect under the influence of the system based on the Veda, which open more for his teachings more systematically. There are also many scholars escapist out thought Veda, libertarian research and establishment in natural philosophy. The movement of thought, or reconcile or conflict with each other, making the background theory of India in a very tangled thread status. However, if you check out the review, we can divide the movement, at the time, the two systems: System response systems and Veda Veda. The previous system but many, but significantly only mainland University. The system against the Mainland Professor layman.

Living under a social class full institutional injustice; religious thought back tangled lace like that, people don't even know to trust, cling to. Amid the deadlock situation, the Buddha appears as a warm morning sun morning, melt away the darkness of the night and dense black have long covered the life. He is not only the Savior of India, which also outlines new direction of humanity. The Buddha was the first chorus up mirror theory, people save to solve all the problems the deadlock of the era. The life he is both a hymn differentiation, is a manifestation of the great sea of wisdom and compassion, is light, is the boat, is the belief that everyone, every society, although in any time and any space.

Though not the Buddhists, also need to learn the meaning of Holy life Thuy penetrating both to take their own lives each router man. And here, we learn about the main features of the life of The Houses.

Queen Màyà died after 7 days of lower birth Crown Prince; Thus, the fosters are direct care by aunt Maha Pajàpati (Ma Ha Three Rafters Three Threads), children of Queen Màyà.

II-the life of the Prince before his

1)-living and the education of Crown Prince: Prince Siddhattha was raised and taught in a comprehensive manner both in the field of literature and martial arts; the best teachers in the country are invited to the Imperial Palace to teach Prince contemporary subjects like qingming (languages, literature), The craftsmanship (the technology), Y phương minh (medicine), entertainment (logic) and Internal (School Director); at the time, He just rounded 7 years. About the College, has been learning the 4 Veda Scriptures. Of business records that, only in the period from 7 to 12 years, the Prince has learned fluent in 5 subjects on. With a special substance, the Prince has made two known about martial arts is Ksantidiva (number one armed! Threads Threads) and about the writer is Visvàmistra (Bhikkhu Sa Suite Da La) must bow admiration. In addition to the smart, Ying the Crown Prince are people you Dear about his immense virtue.

In a ceremony to lower the filling, amid people mesmerized watching the festivities, the Crown Prince at the time while still small, has quietly arrived at the party about trees (rose-apple) ranked by static location. See you all with gracefully quiet, meditative, King Suddhodana had to staggering uttered: "Oh, dear! This is the second time, his first tilt! " (in previous times, when seen Asita Taoist bow to the Crown Prince, King real sensory italic also under).

The more love you daughter, King Suddhodana again as fear doesn't successor to the throne, which will join the search as prediction of Asita Taoist. As he grew, the more the Prince reveal about life calmly looks on. By that same courtiers, King arranged several plans to keep stay with Crown Prince to the throne. King Suddhodana built three magnificent palaces, magnificent for the Prince change places in combination with the weather around the year of India. Hundreds of African American women supply forums good at singing and dancing are a selection sufficiency to serve directly to the Crown Prince. The Buddha had mentioned this in Increased lifetime I as follows: "... The Bhikkhu on stilts, I was brought up the delicate, delicate level too; the Lake was built up, an outdoor planting Lotus green, an outdoor shower and an outdoor shower white ... Sunday night and day, white top cover ta NNE 2 mph, to avoid contact with hot, cold, dust, grass, dew. The Bhikkhu stilts, three castles built for us, one for the East, one for summer and one for the rainy season. The dancers dance around singing flock... ". But the earthly happiness does not make comforting are concerns people have willed export ceiling.

Want to stop all the pictures of the affective life suffering pain that bitch who must wear wear does not catch the eye, to the ear, to a child love no time that thought to date back chains with production decisions; When the Prince just age, King Suddhodana rushed marriage ceremony for Prince with the Princess of a neighbouring-Yosodhara (Da Du Da La)-son of King Suppabuddha (Charity), a best of page natural flavor, warm flavor with the hope of love couples will tie the legs of the Crown Prince with the throne.

2)-exposed human suffering world: But for some time, due to the profound thinking skills and boundless infinite compassion, the Prince fell into a State of meditative worry, always feel my heart weighs how wondering questions. Investors can also allow the King's father, the Crown Prince was first out of the Golden Palace and contact with the outside world. Within the limits of the city, You just see what's beautiful life; and the rest, the more, the contrast with what He knows, now that it is touch my touch before the eyes surprised and sorry of Prince Siddhattha.

Turn out the four doors of the Imperial Palace, He witnessed the true dark and scary! An old man foot fatigue, eat pillows; a sick person writhing; a smelly zombies and a Taoist sexual Prim glasses, all made Center Crown Prince range to extreme. The more you get the foot that all pleasures, happy that you are enjoying life are temporary fake impermanence. Plus times talking same Cavalier that Taoist glance does this man behind a road rescue, Prince Siddhattha decided to exit underworld gold, find a way out, a true life at high mean and more beautiful; a the road to enlightenment, permanently overcome all suffering the pain and misfortune of human life and to peace.

In the meantime, between a news to make you happy: Yosodhara Princess has just commissioned a Royal birth. The Crown Prince has uttered that: "an obstacle (ràhu) has been contentious, a binding has occurred". Multiply this saying that the King Suddhodana named's Ràhula (Rahu).

III-the greatest Disclaimer

And then, with the hearts because the trader being immerse in hot agony; one night, after one last look before the wife and beloved children's comedy drunk concentration in sleep, He the same servant Channa (Anonymously) (2) Pimp my code Kantaka Tuan (Hopea Trac) (3) pass the out come.

The light of the stars late lead put sugar, cold breezes push back all behind. Father love, beautiful wife, the model move good girl very fiery, but in the Crown Prince, your mercy type traders are subject to every misfortune left still more remarkable devastating.

Go, You give up all your loved ones, Crown, Crown, both silk velvet life full of happiness. This is not a sacrifice of a waiver of the elderly, the sick, the poor, the sick, the disabled, people tired of ngẩm prime real life, who brought Salve resentment anger ... that is the sacrifice of abandoning a Prince are adolescence, are living in precious wealth, rights contain chan happy. It is a disclaimer of the great sacrifice, one in human history. A mineral money no late departure. That year, only 19 years old (according to the traditional Buddhist Men, Prince appeared in 29 years old).

IV-a distance of austerities-games Director

When the other side of the River, the Prince Hotel Anoma dưâng, removing hair, dress and jewelry for Channa; and the loyal servant out of error weights of the same father. Left alone, to go with the yellow shirt of the monks, living the life of the Spice House, no glass ceiling segregating education, not a fixed place.

A high tree shade or a secluded caves, a forest, a village Chairman u đìu hiu can help rain cover place is sunshine, spend the night. Play golf in the Sun burn, go in the cold wind, dew Siem y from just consuming the detritus, the only asset is a custard to qifu gangui real speed; Prince Siddhattha spends most of his time to the views of most meditation bridge to find out the ultimate truth.

At the time, many prominent intellectuals renunciation becomes the spiritual masters, the rules are many disciples. Prince Siddhattha along the way games have also to passive religious leaders with two-direction are the most reverence is A-la-Ka-la-ma and Commercial Starter, and only in the echo Blue for a short time, Loads of possession that Alara Kalama and has determined that the origin thought Phi Uddaka Ràmaputta reached. Know that this is still within the living being, you go, leave behind requirement stay the same chemical teacher of Taoist disciples reputation on. And there's no one for him to study.

V-Six years of ascetic

At the time, India also have traditions and beliefs that, who would rescue leaders must bridge the efforts and perseverance of the tu asceticism; The Crown Prince soon to Uruvela, a commune of Senàni and together with his brothers year Kodanna (Qiao Chen As) (4), Bhadhya (Canvas Threads), Vappa (Threads), Mahanama (Ma Ha) and Asaji (Pedestal), started an ascetic seclusion that lasted six years and lead to the result is body lean You away like a dried skeleton deep eyes, hoắm, is no longer going to stand again.

He has experienced the feeling of excruciatingly painful, aching of the body, and he has told in the Majjihima Nikàya (Central) with the images scary: You as being someone who drilled into the skull with the real sharp drill blade; as being a singer used the rope tightens; be butcher knife slit the belly; like being grasped and throw up her burned alive. But the painful feeling he wasn't affected and hurt to his conscious mind.

Here, through experiments, He found that the ultimate truth freeing peace, eradicate suffering can not be outside, in any one direction, nor through flagellation disciplines; that the food poisoning he need to be expressed in the inner of each person and cannot rely on a force of any other excuse.

He drank the milk Bowl thanks to revive by a village girl named Sujata (Su Fo Me) surges worship, then down to bathing in the river Neranjara (Ni Contact boat). Five fellow tu said that he has rotten, sex life back lost facilities, they then left him and went to Isipatana near the city of Benares (Three Dollars).

VI-The leader

Left alone, He came to sit under the pippala tree (all bowls la, later called the bodhi tree-Bodhi); and with the mind intention, mindfulness, the sensations, glass, go into meditation profile (youth, during the ceremony Down fill, He was also once on this meditation), the second meditation, meditation and turn onto the four meditation, then navigate to sanming.

With intuition, You see clearly the causes of suffering. The main originator of 12 workers of the whole episode is coast suffering aggregates. In a soup, You evidence a student destined, clearly see her past lifetimes immeasurable. To align the two, Him Celestial proof label, clearly see past lifetimes of immeasurable beings with human and industrial business results, clearly see the path of life beings. Through farming, He genuinely consistent projection see the suffering, the cause of suffering, of the segments of the suffering, and the path taken to the make the suffering, and were Smuggled to capitalize. After all, Mr Prime witness fruition Loads of upper class Districts, the Chief Justice is the first Buddha in the meantime, the current morning star just sprouting; and the Buddha Gotama, the Buddha Sakyamuni is claimed from the religious world.

C. conclusion

Look through the ancient history now, the hero of the world established many victory on the battlefield, won thousands of troops, hundreds of battle many multitude, but try to ask to have one of her own desire? Who wins is a work hard, win yourself again is a more difficult job. The Buddha has won both foreign and internal ma ma, pass all vile, she deserve title Australian Hero, out of power.

He does not own interests that fight, also not because of love love limited in his parents, his wife, friends, country, territory; but because of the crush from immeasurable for all beings which go in search of the path of liberation for all species. He deserves the title of Australian words, Ðại Bi.

Because of the extensive loves, not Belgium try, not human, He abandoned the Palace, crumpled yellow jade the beautiful wife, the hard-power, supremacy, earthly pleasures, enduring a life lived in kham, abstemious deprivation, that chemistry teacher here, He deserves title Ðại Hy, Royal Flush.

Read few pages use summarized about the life of a monk, a lofty master value for religion worthy of humanity, you have to understand about any other mosquito-the water in the ocean. But from the general definition, overview of the life of the Buddha as well enough to make us reflect the profound meaning and correctness that humanity has claimed He is hung, Australian, Australian Australian From Australian, Bi, Ðại Hy, Royal Flush.

The appearance of The Sakyamuni in the ceiling that is both a great glory for the people and society. He is the crystallization of all generations of thousands of floral and Bi, Tri, courageous; is the embodiment of the truth out, bodes for all beings in heaven heavenly world. If the life is not miserable obscurity, the Buddha did not appear in my life. He was born as a significant purpose is the only presentation for beings enter Buddha enlightenment tri comments yourself. Or say other than, "because happiness to beings, because peace for beings, because compassion for life, for happiness, for peace and for the human and divine" which The World Religion appear in the world.

The life of the Buddha is both an eloquent differentiation theory article, despite taking tens of quotations from the US example also could not convey to most sacred meaning. His life is a living manifestation of his teachings. He speaks and practices with results meet, correspond to what You preach. Living Outside The Dwell is both a manifest proof for the Dhamma, feasibility, available evidence, beyond time, space, stray current stay. That is not the thing as revelation, not the such teachings, the paranoia, the theory built on the cloud, on the smoke.

The Buddha's history is the history of a people, thanks to the practice itself, has become a perfect man, a Holy ranks among the world. "The greatest man born in this life", as the word of Tagore said.

By the life of him, by the teachings are in three Tibetan Scriptures, the Buddha gave to mankind know that, any person would, with the efforts of ourselves, can rise to the heights of enlightenment and liberation. Have to say, not a religion, not an ideology would uphold human and put faith in man as Buddhism. Cloning of excellent Buddhism is exactly that.

Avoid all evil, do every thing, erase the inner ranks to become a Saint, a human perfection of virtue and wisdom, each of the people we all have the ability and the duty to practice the message, the message that immortalized the Buddha has given to mankind, for each of us./.END=NAM MO AMITABHA BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH GIAC TAM.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=VIETNAMESE GOLDEN AMITABHA PURELAND=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.19/9/2016.
