Content which we will discuss in this short article is "Who saw him approach is seen Buddha, who saw him find legal Buddha". Actually, this topic is not the author himself put that capital is the Buddha's teachings, are found in many parts of a jaw or Nikaya.

The cause of this sermon Buddha said, because Venerable Vakkali at home potters, are seriously sick, dying, but wanted lap area of ​​the face of the Buddha is and pay homage to him one last time before die just , but could not arrive at is Bhagavan, so venerable Vakkali gave the attendant to invite the Buddha to his neighborhood. Since kindness introspection Buddha personally went to visit Vakkali brethren. After arriving at the Buddha asked:

 

- Hey Vakkali, if he has nothing to discipline his charge, so there is nothing to wonder or regret?

 

- For a long, venerable sir, I want to come to see Bhagavan, but my body is not strong enough to get to see Bhagavan ..

 

- Well, just then, this Vakkali, there is nothing to show for this vile body. This Vakkali. Who saw Justice, he saw me, Who seeth me, he sees the law. [1].

 

Above is a conversation between Bhagavan and Vakkali. This form of dialogue, it suggests we understand some basic issues in Buddhism. First issue that we need to determine where it is. Buddha and the monks stood Vakkali two different positions. Vakkali brethren stand from the emotional point of view, with reverence, bowed and eyes want to look at the face one last time before Buddha closed his eyes to the ceiling leaves. But not standing Buddha from this emotional angle, comforting Vakkali.

 

He was standing opposite angle from a guru to visit one last time and education Vakkali Vakkali realizing the truth to be enlightened and liberated, so he was saying: 'Nothing is changing with the body stinking '.

 

In my opinion this word has two meanings. The first meaning that he wants to transmit to us that he is human like many other people, so his body is like many other body, also need to be eat, sleep, and state sick with the sickness and excretion. These substances are excreted foul smell just like everyone else. There should not be naive to think that the Buddha is no longer these phenomena.

 

If we had said that the Buddha and sentient beings are different, the difference is only the difference between perception, ie the difference between the enlightened (Buddha) and unenlightened. Enlightened person is no longer the kind of psychological suffering, but the suffering of the natural kind is still, as hot and cold, sick hoan.vv ..

 

While the unenlightened, have both physical size and nature of psychology. Actually the largest floating human suffering is suffering psychological, not physical. Second, he'd say, Vakkali who live too heavily on emotion, too much focus on the external form of the Tathagata, do not see the real value from within which he has proven to be under the tree Father. What the value of the Buddha's truth is not good 80 32 General beauty. Then Vakkali want is the body area of ​​Exalted minister to do? Useless for a serious illness in remission he suffers? There is help coming close to death that Vakkali are facing?

 

Torment Before this, only the teachings that Bhagavan has new evidence may terminate or at least alleviate the suffering of Vakkali, the measures which, truth is an area that needs to Vakkali seen before died, if not live the monastic life in vain, no benefit for themselves what circumstances is to benefit beings.

 

Then the truth he attained under the bodhi tree is what? That doctrine of dependent origination (pratiya-Samutpada), operating principles of humanity and the universe, the earth does not have an object, a person survive or disappear without following this principle.This is the sense in which the Buddha presented in the "Business Review A function" with the following contents:

 

"France is not so interdependent that we do, not because someone else made. Whether Tathagata appears or does not appear in the world, that still exists. Tathagata This self-realization, enlightenment into class ... "[2]

 

Teachings that Buddha enlightenment under the bodhi tree that is interdependent origination operation principle of life, not by the Buddha himself created, but it is the principle of operation of the human and the universe , something no man should operate outside the rules, so the doctrine of dependent origination is called the truth. From the truth of Buddhism is meant as such, is not ambiguous words, lack of facilities.

 

Pursuant to the doctrine of dependent origination, the Buddha pointed out human nature there is something called self (atmam) or soul, these things are always in a state of change shift, the shift that Buddha called impermanence (anitya), does not have a legal standing still fixed. Beauty, wealth, status .... though we have tried to keep to where it is subject to change at some point. The difference between the wise and the foolish perception is right or wrong, that is our attitude about how this situation.

 

The wise certainly not forced to do anything contrary to the rules, so when impermanent things moving, so that people are not born where sorrow anxiety or hostility, only the fool wants start things stand discretion. Want without being a cause born of suffering.

 

As compassionate beings in suffering misfortune, depending on the base Buddha and various levels of each type of beings, using all means different beings only see this truth, for they are enlightened and liberation that formed the sect, split with the General Primary.

 

From this point it suggests that we understand, the French origination, impermanence, selflessness is the truth, the means or the different forms of education, it is not the truth, because it is only valid, and suitable to a particular object and certain, the truth can not be common to all people and all societies are different, so do not be called truth.

 

Here I want people to notice one thing that it is very good admiration and needed, but we should not confuse this admiration synonymous understanding of Buddhism. Derived from the cult admiration, we have been speaking very indiscriminate, sometimes injure the Dharma.

 

For example, we often say that Buddhism is the truth, while we introduce some perspective on Buddhism, it is completely unrelated worthless human lives, sometimes to the detriment for life. While efforts to introduce the Buddha, to make people see the truth clearly to enlightenment and liberation, we do the opposite introduce human society with vague opinions, dark, lack of departments, lack of scientific light.

 

So how can such views be called truth? Maybe that is true and reasonable for a certain element of society, but not all, so can not be called truth. That is why the Buddha says that we do not understand our message is defame us. Activities of the mind and heart are two different areas, both essential for human life, but can not replace each other.

 

Heart that instead of thinking of the mind, the life will appear to know how the clutter and confusion; Minds that replaces the heart work, human life is like living as a court, so we should not confuse the minds and hearts. In my opinion, should live together in heart and mind to work with.

 

Through the presentation on it helps us explain the sentence: Who saw Justice, he saw me, Who seeth me, he sees the law. Here the concept I just for Buddha, so this sentence is understood as legal Who saw, he saw the Buddha; Who saw the Buddha he found legal.France here just for the teaching of dependent origination. Who sees interdependent measures, he also saw the state of impermanence, selflessness of things and even myself.

 

Who saw the impermanence of selflessness, he is intolerable: "My thing is that I'm my self", so, enlightenment and liberation. Here, the concept of enlightenment and liberation are conceptual description of the results of the find and said the word is commonly used in the Buddhist wisdom, the result was the practice of the Buddha under the bodhi tree . This enlightenment has made himself free from the obligation of suffering, so-called liberation.Anyone awaken will also have the freedom as he is not high not low.

 

Contemporaries also had many people of many different classes to practice his teachings, has also been enlightenment. After living in his teachings, is enlightenment, they feel that the difference between the way the practice of Buddhism and traditional religions of India so far. Buddha then advised people "Come to see and know Buddhism, settling suffering, not to believe" other religions also emphasized faith and prayer mantras.

 

That is why many people after hearing legal Buddha said he stated:

 

"It's rather wonderful, venerable Gotama! Venerable Gotama, as the steep back what was thrown down, expose what was concealed, directions to them astray, or bring light into the darkness for those who have eyes can see colors. Likewise, the Dharma was venerable Gotama presented using various means, explained. "[3]

 

Thus, the highlights of Sakyamuni Buddha is enlightenment, not the general good 32 or 80 beauty and principles to become enlightened liberation is found to be legal impermanence interdependent selflessness. So, who wants to see the man must see the Buddha Dharma.Also, one has to see impermanence interdependent measures selflessness also mean he saw the Buddha, because the concept of Buddha with legal concepts show him the truth and the truth.

 

Thus, bhikkhus Vakkali if desired presence is required to present the Buddha is enlightenment and liberation, if Vakkali want homage Buddha then Vakkali should practice his teachings, if Vakkali want to segment well except for his suffering, it must be enlightened ourselves Vakkali origination of impermanence and non-self., even if Vakkali want of beings they must first Vakkali enlightenment truth. It is the content and meaning of the phrase: "Who saw Justice, he sees the Buddha; Who saw the Buddha he saw law "when he encouraged monks Vakkali sick time.

 

Despite that, this is the teachings of Bhagavan for past Vakkali brethren. I believe that the content and the meaning of it still has practical value for today's Buddhism. Are we trying gold lipstick smear 32 general good praise of the Buddha, but we accidentally or deliberately forget the teachings that He has enlightened?

 

Was it with reverence we use all praise, introduce Vietnam's super computer system of Buddhist philosophy, but we forget that the young generation is the generation today is being grown in the society progress Ministry of science and technology, and are trained in advanced education system, with a high professional level, they will be difficult to accept the vague opinion lacks a scientific basis. Meanwhile the majority of people in today's society, interested in issues related to human and society in which they are to survive, not those issues metaphysical philosophy.

 

I believe, that the Buddha's teachings is the teaching of enlightenment for people, objects that Buddha was human education. Though doctrinal system which refers solve specific problems in the past, sometimes no longer suitable for human beings and society today, but through other forms of education, it still harbors education spiritual principles that he wanted to send to the next generation is not the same society and territory. Principles, that spirit of absolute value, applicable to all times and people. END=NAM MO AMITABHA BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH GIAC TAM.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA PURELAND=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.8/11/2016.
