Credit where Buddhism is not superstitious.

Before referring to followers of the Buddhist mind, suppose we learn why born of superstition, superstition and how?

When discussing Buddhism, scholar Liang Qichao said:  "Buddhism is a credit position, not superstition, is not toxic cum-friendly charity, is to enter the world rather cynical" . Liang Qichao antique pine needles first born physician, learning both ancient China and the West, holds a respectable position in academia. His words must have a basis in terms of doctrine. So that is what grounds? Of course, in the Tripitaka Buddhist texts. For the purpose of Buddhism is to wish people moved about the treatment, stupid move into position, and moved to St. philistine but nothing else. 

Buddhism is rather superstitious credit position 

before where mention of Buddhist believers, suppose we learn why born superstition, superstition and how? 

in the old days, so bring intellectual unopened, for natural phenomena in the universe, such as storms and floods, earthquakes, mountain fire etc .. is thought that there must be a supreme god powerful controller. Life expectancy as well as premature death, disaster painter human being, not what is not by divine disposition. The spirit that, if respected and be blessed island bridge; if contrary insulting with the graphics.  

The dying wish more blessed standard ear, which uses the divine sacrificial offerings, please forward the divine being. Bridge enthusiasts, the god of money given many possessions; who desire fame, the god of protection needs to be promoted to a 3rd grade. These people do not sow the good that players expect good results. Spirit's sacred matter if there can not, depending on their ambitions for that instant where that bridge. 

Be aware that everything in the universe, each has its own causality, as the Buddha taught:  " sow so shall you reap " . Wants to increase production, cultivation efforts. Want to have a healthy body exercise diligence. Want to sow so named an honest hardworking people, not gods demand that can achieve the purpose.  

We often see an intelligent person of integrity can not even pretend to be friendly with the guys fawning perhaps no greedy gods offering that upset the Merits of life? Just because we do not understand cause and effect, praying in vain, not people that want to work, really is downright wrong. 

Buddhism does not look like. Supreme object that Buddhists worship the Buddha. Buddha means Enlightened One, voluntarily sense tha, feeling happy consummation called Buddha.Buddha's successors results Bodhisattva. Bodhisattva means enlightenment sentient beings ie an enlightened. Bodhisattva on the globe achieve ultimate enlightenment, as the salvation of all sentient beings. Bodhisattva religious merit is also the fullness of the Buddha.  

Buddha is worshiped in Buddhist families, or in monasteries in our country, or the pontiff Conflict-ni-ca; or the Buddha amitābha, cardinals Bliss Western worlds. The Bodhisattva is revered as: Bodhisattva Manjushri, the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, the Bodhisattva mahasthamaprapta, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, the Bodhisattva Maitreya etc ..  

Bodhisattva Manjushri represents wisdom, Samantabhadra vows symbolizes Hanh, the sound represents compassion, World press Hung symbolizes power, Stratum and represents Maitreya Tam Hei represents discharge. The virtues of compassion, Hei discharge, intelligence, etc .. Hung force people we are, but because of crazy delusions clouded, should not be manifest.Now, we worship of Him is to imitate the virtues he promoted his own availability, through many elaborately forged, slowly we will become complete human beings like the bodhisattva -All. 

More than 2,000 years ago, when the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi roots, his first words were:  "States instead! Sign instead! All beings are full of intellectual virtue Minister Tathagata, just because delusion obscuring can not be realized, if the renounce attachment delusions, the position is necessary, place Nature, soon was manifest " . Then Minister of intellectual virtues of the Tathagata is what? That is the Buddha.  

As of this Buddha who has, in the Bible does not increase, no decrease in the flesh. If someone forsaken by delusions of self, the natural sun lighting wisdom. Just as dust adhering on the mirror surface, if the effort to clean out the dust that the light of the mirror natural pristine restored. So that after enlightenment, Neng exclaimed:  "Any doubt their properties pure equity.Any doubt their properties which are not birth and death. Any doubt his own capital full count.Any doubt their properties which do not fluctuate. Any doubt students count themselves all legal capital " . This is all thanks to self-enlightenment practice that, compared to the power of praying for forgiveness of other faiths and said:  "Whoever believes in a supreme being, shall be saved" absolutely not the same. 

Buddhism is religions believe in self-reliance, not that this universe by a Supreme deity and governing creativity. For the anti-change phenomena in the universe, the Buddha often told: "This is the other one there; this one is not the other one does not; the arising of this, that arises; This kills the other one, the kill " . Or make that:  "France atrium as market" . This means that these phenomena are like this ancient capital. It's the law of cause and effect in the cosmos. Predestined things that students, also because of conditions that kill.  

The stars operate, weather changes, following its causal laws. Every birth, aging, sickness and death, and reached premature human life are governed by causal laws. So shall you sow, nor a shred of difference. Therefore, certain natural phenomena not by divine disposition, and the encounter with the other person and then falls in love or hatred crashing out, nor the supreme deity by ordering all . The ancients said:  "The report shows there is no certain basis, just because people only true recipe for" . (being very professional painter, the only spontaneous million). So, I am master of my own, do not have a god can do lord man, also does not have a blessed deity punishes anyone. 

But in fact, there are some believer and the divine sacrifice. In their hearts both demon, again both the concept of retributive probably causal. The players to look forward to worshiping gods do not blessed is the Dhamma, but if met Thien knowledge levels only for the main road, they easily return to the true path, and therefore, there is a good chance of being salvage.  

in contrast, those who are the most pitiable people on the basis of ideology never had the notion demon, and also do not believe in retributive law of causality. Since not afraid of demon abstain, do not believe the law of causality, so they think harassment do raid, conceited arrogance, let lungtheo delusions without thinking of the consequences. 

They are willing to change instead of black and white, right and wrong upside down, causing many evil deeds, thoughts can enjoy happy forever. But the law of causality impartial capital, borrowing must be paid, who sow the wind shall reap the storm, unable to escape, as the Dhammapada says: 

Evil now immature 
fool biliary idea 
when industrial Evil nine really 
fool asking suffering. 
(Dhammapada, 69) 

Buddhism is closely related to the country 

with worldly dharma and France made it, used as a means of worldly and France made it as rescue soup. Export here means the world is beyond all temptations and mistakes, not out of this world. The Bodhisattva for the sake of the party to end, into the world to help sentient beings. So, ultimately, the words Dharma in the world only, not outside the life. 

Those who misunderstand Buddhism Buddhists sure to bring out the spirit of the world, nothing less devoted to the nation society. This argument may sound like a new right, but in fact very wrong. Buddhism has four disciples, disciple monks, monks-ni; Advantages disciple has-she-rules ie those laymen, Pros-she-di who laywomen. In the lay disciples who have made careers as industrial, agricultural trade, war, health care, education etc., Who has never served the belief that because lay aside their livelihood.  

And ordained for them, in fact they are not directly engaged in production. But in society except the peasant, workers at the factory were the direct producers, and countless other professions such as civil servants, teachers, lawyers, doctors etc .. well are not directly plowing and weaving, but with just the people ordained disciple of the Buddha?  

Yet who is to say these people do not have a positive contribution to the national society?Likewise, the home person, not just eat all day idle, that fact, on their shoulders the burden of responsibility to propagate Buddhism, taught beings. Law and public opinion, of course, can sanction the crimes were violations, but the very touched by the new director True Religion duccua prevent these crimes have not occurred.  

Countries Vietnam from Dinh, Le, Ly, Tran to Le, Nguyen the rise and fall of Buddhism along with the country's disorder treatment have relationships with each other intimately. In times of Buddhism prevailed, the social order was largely stable; and when a stable social order, then Buddhism is largely prevalent. It can be said that the mutual relationship of cause and effect has been seen in the country's history. 

The Buddha taught his disciples to the country, the faithful, for the dutiful parents, for children, the merciful, for the faithful friends. To keep the five precepts, operating ten perfections, from then Van Hanh, where are also reminded Buddhists must first do a good citizen, protect public, respect the law, another step forward legal practice liberated subjects. Buddha taught us to repay the favor four parents grace, grace chief, considerate and kind benefactors countries.Thus, Buddhism advises people living with gratitude and fondness central fulfilled, it is evident that the moral basis for building a healthy society. 

Five of Confucianism often teaches people Nhan Nghia Le, Tri, Tin; see it as the ethical principles to be human. If the five precepts of Buddhism brought out by comparison, do not kill indiscriminately, close to the people; other people do not get close to the mean; no adultery, close to the ceremony; do not lie, close to the believers; no alcohol, close to the location.  

Although there were times some superficial view the moral principles of Confucianism as the product obsolete, should be eliminated. But, if the calm that is in the current review, the moral principles still have practical value for building a hierarchical social order and stability in many aspects. Experience tells us that when the material was destroyed, want to repair or rebuild relatively easy, but the spirit was corrupt, want to save, it is extremely difficult. 

In addition, in terms of social Assembly, the moral foundation of Confucianism and Buddhism also related to each other. Confucius once said:  "Proceedings basis sterility, animal performance, U's"  (What we do not want, do not do to others). 

Also in the Four Indestructible Business Achievement, Buddha said:  "If our killer then we are not happy; I was not happy the other guys too, why they killed them? Understand that, immediately precept not to kill. If someone steals our property, we are not happy; I was not happy the other guys too, why we back their property theft? Understand this, no stealing instant precepts. I was not happy when others infringe upon our wives and children; Other people are not happy to see his wife and children was compromised, why we re infringing their wives and children? Therefore, we hold the world is not adultery. I do not want anybody to deceive; Other people who also do not like being deceived, why we again deceived them? So, we must keep the world do not lie. "  The experience is almost fully explained saying  ," What we do not want, do not do to others " .  

This is not his principles to live very practical build an ideal society is what? Like enough see the legacy of our ancestors maintained a significant role for social platform through which our people have a life of Virtue and merciful, loving mutual respect. Of course, and went through a long, up in the legacy of our ancestors left behind, there are things that have become obsolete, should be thrown away, then gather the elite status of the world to build on cultural traditions of the nation, so to achieve satisfactory results.  

Chứ if we assume that the traditional culture was too old and no longer relevant to contemporary society, need to throw away all both, so instead a whole new thing hoahoan documents, making people feel crestfallen, not acceptable, it is difficult to avoid the risk of leading to loss of faith, make society into the state of crisis Depression. 

the spirit of the Buddhist incarnation 

of capital Buddhists take compassion as its basis and patience as the motto. For excellent sound avaricious, sensual pleasures are mostly green earth alienation, unlike the commonplace notion that life is a struggle the only hope to achieve as much as possible victory.Therefore, make some positive self-dubbed advances, has rush to flee negative Buddhist life, socially inappropriate RIP tranhron contemporary edge. 

But, Buddhism is a negative right flee life or not? Not! If anyone understands little about Buddhism knows that Buddhism entered the capital with a positive spirit. This is clearly manifested through the vow of venerable Ananda Sangha monasteries which often recite every morning the elaborate action as a guideline: 

"evil bed before entering the the first, 
as best we you become a Buddha was born, 
Nhung any test u Ne-complete player. " 

that is: 

" life in the previous five degenerations you ask, 
What a being is not a Buddha, 
I will not in the realm of Nirvana. " 

but there are people asks: "If only such mere recitation can be called positive action is what?" I would say the spirit of Mahayana Buddhism is the beings around, wanted the students must first learn the method of salvation . for example, someone crashed into the water, assuming you want to save their compassion, but because you can not swim, you can only stand on the shore calling for help only. Otherwise, if you just have the desire to save people, who know how to swim, raced into the water, would of course will save the other from drowning. the disciples of the Buddha, not ordained or arguments at home, while chanting vow is when wide large, in order to practice the method of maturity to rescue people. 

here, we do not use this argument to justify nuns, Buddhists, the true spirit of Buddhism's fundamental that. Shakyamuni once said: "I do not go to hell, then who in hell; not only into hell, but hell dignified " . and Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha also told:  "We take the birth certificate of Bodhi, hell you can not turn into Buddhism"  (Beings of all new stock Bodhi, hell no sinner of all Buddhist vows failed ). That total is denoted altruistic spirit of Buddhism sacrifices himself to serve others. 

Life Road, Grand Master Xuanzang as demand legal purposes, to Thien Truc visiting Beijing, over 800 miles of desert, halfway out the water, which was about to die. But he still vows rather a step towards the West that died, but refused to take a step back to the East to be alive if not the destination has the most improved. He expressed wish for legal selfless spirit, wish all beings are entitled to be liberated approach, rather than their own interests demand. Because the existence and development of Buddhism always accompanies the existence and development of mankind. If Buddhism integral human, social alienation, Buddhism is no longer any reason to exist. That has been confirmed Neng: 

"Buddhism in the world, 
feeling the world cup, 
world cup indebted Bodhi, 
visual chronicle bowl needs." 

Translation: 

Buddhism in the world, 
does not depart from this world sense of time; 
depart from this world Bodhi bridge, 
looking horned rabbit other expenses. 

in summary, through the presentation above, we see a notable highlight is the year that most of the Buddhist world have no value beyond time and space. Because any where and any era, in this world as well as the fundamental ethical principles of being human, that building a stable social order for everyone to be prosperous and happy life. 

Buddhism that all things in the universe operates according to the law of causality. Humans, too, who sowed the good is awarded good, one evil karma will bear bad fruit, absolutely not by chance or by any god dispose off. Buddhism took beings as objects to serve, putting their survival in an intimate relationship with the survival and evolution of human society. Buddhists believe that everyone has the ability to raise up, if protracted effort, General Directorate will reach the destination truth, goodness and beauty, or complete enlightenment.  Incarnate spirit of Buddhism Buddhists do which take basic compassion and patience as the motto. For excellent sound avaricious, sensual pleasures are mostly green earth alienation, unlike the commonplace notion that life is a struggle the only hope to achieve as much as possible victory. Therefore, make some positive self-dubbed advances, has rush to flee negative Buddhist life, socially inappropriate RIP tranhron contemporary edge. But, Buddhism is a negative right flee life or not? Not! If anyone understands little about Buddhism knows that Buddhism entered the capital with a positive spirit. This is clearly manifested through the vow of venerable Ananda Sangha monasteries which often recite every morning the elaborate action as a guideline: "evil bed before entering the the first, as best we you become a Buddha was born, Nhung any test u Ne-complete player.
