Buddhism.

A. Opening offer : 

Buddha was born as a  predestined  large: Opening  our market  being  realized enter  Buddhist knowledge . 

People usually say in a superficial way to bluff, "Religion always good!".  The words  did, or as  a courtesy  to  please  guests, or because the surface is not clear of how different Act, should like new. In fact the  purpose of  the religion always has  the value  of it, nothing more than another higher low on each alone. But  the purpose of  good anyway, is not enough. The important thing is how to  implement  is  the purpose of  that and bring  benefits  for life large. Try asking if any director also  worth  the same, then why 2,500 years ago, while Origin  India  has directed 94 minutes and then, that  Buddha  Shakyamuni  was  a Christmas  do, again? 

Religion is nothing but the variety, which is not yet the whole "truth, goodness and beauty", so  the Buddha  new  body to  manifest , teach  beings directing  Supreme Awakened One , so that liberation  from suffering  rebirth , is  itself in  endless problems like Buddha.  Sutra  says, "For a predestined  big Buddha  appeared  born". 

Predestined  What was great? Is: "Opening  our market  being  realized enter  Buddhist knowledge," so that  all beings  are fascinated exchange whereby the enlightened see the nature expressed interest, beyond life from death, be happy-suffering. 

Definitions  1. The word  Tao means  is what? The word religion has three meanings: Religion is the way ; Religion is a duty; Nature of religion is  absolute , is  the essence . 

a) Religion is  the way , as they  are often used  in these words:  humanitarian ,  natural religion , religion hell ,  hungry ghosts religion ,  religion animal . All that is  the way  it has good, bad, good, evil vv..Theo  Buddhism , also  in the treatment , it can not be called  absolutely  ultimate . 

b) Religion is the duty, as people  often use  these words: I am the king directed, teacher-student director, director vv..Pham duty spouses often bear  the influence  of custom or practice. Traditions and customs of this country unlike other countries.  Therefore , the word Tao is also not true to duty means that the Buddhist Religion letters meant. 

c) Nature of Religion is *  absolutely , is  essence , it leaves speaking, inconceivable. Germany Lao-tzu  said: "Religion that is to say, not a religion". Someone asked an old  Patriarch : "What is Religion?".  Patriarch  replied: "First of Buddha  Oai Yin Wang , no name Buddha and  all beings , that time  is the Tao." 

The word of the Buddhist Religion is  synonymous with  being  so. 

2. The word Buddha mean? The word Buddha, properly speaking Sanskrit Bouddha ( Buddha ).The Chinese translation is  enlightened , (Job was  enlightened ,  wise  completely ). Sense has three steps: 

a)  Voluntarily : That is  self  enlightenment  entirely  by  merit-favored  and  meticulous  practice , other than the  ordinary  are those who are  ignorant , is  reincarnation  of the  mundane  work, tribulations. 

B)  Sense tha : This means that you have  enlightened , to provide  methods  of enlightenment that teach the  practice to be  enlightened  as yourself. Who practice the  Theravada  can not get sense tha , because only worry  freed  themselves. Only people who practice the  Mahayana newly acquired  sense tha , that is  enlightenment  for all  beings  are  immersed . 

C)  Giac happy  fulfillment : That is  enlightenment  completely  full of themselves and the people.These steps  Bodhisattva , but was  awakened  to ourselves and to people, but  the actions  are not  fulfilled , should not be referred to as "Enlightenment  Giac Hanh  Consummation". Only Buddha called  Giac Hanh  Consummation . 

The word Buddha was a common noun to call beings have  self-discipline ,  sense of forgiveness and  happiness sense  fullness , rather than a proper noun to call someone  certain . Who austerities  are  attained  as mentioned above are known as the Buddha. 

3.  Buddhism  mean? According to the definition of the Buddha was attentive and above,  we  can explain the  word  Buddhism  as follows:  Buddhism  is a  path  right feet,  completely  lucid  taken to the  essence of things, is the essence of  cool for , leave all  falsehoods distinction , which the enlightened  entirely  invented.  Buddhism  includes all  self-interest  and  the benefit of others , self-discipline ,  sense of forgiveness  and  deeds  of himself,  the man  was  completely achievement ,  the ultimate  consummation . 

B. Chief Recommended 

Buddhism  may from time to time? has  two meanings : Stand on the  aspect  being  that at the Buddhism  from  beginningless (ie no clue, no  limitation  in  time ). Because  Buddhism  is  nature wise  of  beings , so there  beings  is  Buddhism ; that  beings  made from  beginningless  then Buddhism  has since  beginningless . Standing on the  aspects  historical  and term life in  the world  is to say, then  Buddhism  has had since 2501 (1) year (until 1957), before  Christianity  544 years. 

I. Who is the founder of Buddhism? 

Followers  of Buddhism  should  know  history  virtue  Cardinals'  her. 

Below, please mention  briefly  the main points of moral life  Cardinals' , who founded the  Buddhist, ie  the Buddha Shakyamuni 

Buddha Sakyamuni , the former  Prince  of water  Kapilavastu  (Kapilavastu)  Origin Middle  India , Accessories royal name  Shuddhodana United  Dau Da  Na (Sudhodana); Superb form named Maya  (Maya). They He is Qiao  A Ma , former translated as  punch , his name laTat  Siddarttha (Shidartha). And letters  Shakyamuni  (Sakya), Train service is  Human Energy : Energy is the capacity , staff is  compassionate .  Muni  (Muni) means  President Wear : President is quiet, no fun doing mental suffering; Even as  quietly , without  disturbing  , Trouble, his level  of people , merits  full. 

His childhood had  so wise  and  talented  extraordinary . Raised see  human  suffering ,  that theimpermanent , He  resolutely  monastic  practice ,  find a way  liberate  themselves and to others, in order to bring all  beings  to the shore  of enlightenment . 

After six years of  ascetic  in Mount Snow (Himalayan), he saw the  ascetic  mortification  like, not be achieved by  the truth , so he went through the mountains Koda, sitting  under a tree  Bodhi  (All Eight La , negative translation the voice of  India ) and vowed that: "If we are not  a religion , whether meat bone crushing tan, we also decided not  to stand up  from this place." With mighty press  firmly  that, after 49 days  of thinking , he saw  the truth  of  the universe  's birth and evangelism  Bodhi . After  enlightenment , he  traveled  throughout the land,  preaching  the student , to  being  moved about the treatment, be happy-suffering. During the  period  of 49 years, as a  health food is  talented , watch patients for the drug, he has led  beings  leaving  happy  and bars for  everyone  the path  of enlightenment  liberation . 

80 years old, he  entered Nirvana  in the  Kusinara , in the jungle  Ta La  (Song Tho). At that time, the full moon day in February for  the Lunar . 

II.  The doctrine  of Buddhism  like? 

Teachings  of  Buddhism  consists of 3  Tripitaka  is typical Beijing, Law, Luan. 

1. Scripture: Scripture is the word of the  Buddha  Shakyamuni  said while  on earth , to teach beings  end to  defilements  and  reached  results  Nirvana . 

2. Law: Law is the  commandment  that He made it to the  disciples , to the  disciples  leave the evil commandments,  practice the good, improve  body and mind  for  purity . 

3. Argument: Argument is the part of many due to the  disciples  to discuss the Buddha made clear  meaning  mystery in business, law or decisive nature, of the French minister,  distinguishing these  should have  * not the  right path and  pagan , making the life from  mistaken  to the left , right and wrong. 

Tripitaka  is divided into two kinds of  Mahayana  and  Theravada . 

Thua means carrying letters, a place well known as the premium, which means chariot. Excess or surplus are jaw  meaning  is:  The teaching  of Buddha is  functional  as a car, take  the beings from the  mundane  work  afflictions  to  the realm of  joyful  purity , from sea  moral suffering  back to  Nirvana ,  the exit . 

Mahayana  as large carriage, can carry more people at a time;  whereas  Theravada  as a small wagon, carrying only a few people at a time only. 

The reason  teachings  Buddhism  split into  Mahayana  and  Theravada  like, because  radical and aspirations  being uneven. The classes who  find  themselves just  enough  to  liberate  their own section only, as small passenger cars are a few people, they follow  the teachings  of Hinayana . 

Those who rank themselves  noticed  I could just  liberate  themselves and let people out  of rebirthand self-  willingness of  themselves and go to  Nirvana , as a great vehicle, and transported in a time much person, according to  the Mahayana . This category was clearly knows  sorrow ,  birth and death  as illusory, so do not be soon happily in  fruits  finally  his, which is usually  the birth never know fatigue; and because  notice beings  are  suffering , then we can not be happy. 

III. The  Spread  of Buddhism: 

After Buddha  Shakyamuni  passed away , two  disciples  of the Buddha as he  Kassapa  and his Ananda  Buddhist preacher replaced  Buddhism  in  India . It's  time  first.  Period  Monday run by Sensei  Nagarjuna ,  Ma Ming  and  Asanga  leader .  Period  Tuesday by your  Sensei  Long Tri, Śubhakarasiṃha  and  Padmasambhava  undertook. 

From  India ,  Buddhism  spread into the water  nearby , and the whole of East Asia, and eventually  throughout the  world . The  spread  of this  follow  two directions: one towards the North and towards the South. (See  History of  spreading  Buddhism  Key 5) 

To the North, the North called North Ton Phuong or  Buddhism , or  Mahayana Buddhism ,  is composed of  countries:  Tibet , China,  Mongolia , Manchuria, Goryeo,  Japan ,  Vietnam  and so on. 

To the South, then known as  Southern  or Southern religious  Buddhism or  Theravada Buddhism , or  the Theravada  Buddhism ,  includes  countries:  Sri Lanka , Burma, Thailand, Laos,  Cambodia, Indonesia etc. .. 

But now thanks to the traffic  convenience  and  classic  are cultivated throughout the country, so the divide between Northern and Southern religious principles no longer  clear  as before: in Mahayana  still  Theravada  and  Hinayana  still with  Mahayana . 

IV. The  Benefits  Of  Buddhism : 

The goal  of  Buddhism  is to bring the results  beautiful  future for  all beings : 

1.  Chan often :  Beings  propelled, ocean diving Drop in  rebirth ;  beings  living in  impermanence, when children as old as the sick healed, the dead live ... Buddhism  bring the  practice  a  fruition is never the law  of impermanence  speak on  dominant . 

2. Legs optimistic:  Beings  who live in  the realm of  darkness , sorrow, suffering; if fun is just happy to be in the moment, as the thirsty, drink salty water, soft support for a moment, and then later the more thirsty than  at first .  Buddhism  has  the purpose of  giving to those who  practice  a peace funny  integrity  and unending. 

3.  True Self :  Beings  are so many  adversities  in general  around the  dominant ,  binding , as con  detained  in prison braking, never be  free to  operate  in accordance with  the will  of his. Buddhism with  the purpose of  making the  practice  be freed  completely  out of the  tie  above, make  people  full  capacity  to  implement  the will  fine  her, and live a  life  of calm  carefree . 

4.  Legs Net :  Beings  who live in  the realm of  filthy, soiled in the mud of further realms, from the soul  to the  outside  physically .  Buddhism  has  the purpose of  making the  practice  clarify  how many boxes the bare earth, to live a life of  purity ,  pure , do not you remember the little problems of the  mundane .

The  benefits  mentioned above  precious  like that, but will never come to  us ,  if not  to learn and practice Buddhism. 

1. Learn the Buddha:  Buddha  is a god although  ordinary manufacturing ,  intelligent manufacturing world , but as  ordained  He also must  learn  night,  wasting  so much energy, promote out what new  doctrines  to mystery back to  us . So  we  want to  become  a  Buddhist true  , the  first  is to  learn  as Buddha.  We  not only learn the  teachings  of Him but also learned through  life ,  virtues ,  acts  of his life anymore. 

2. Acts of Buddhism: But learning without practice, no practice, it's like the Push the right books, words texts  contained  lot, but there is no  benefit  at all. So learn to go along with practice.  We must  try to  practice  what they have learned to be, making her see things is or was right. What did Buddha,  we  must try to do again; Buddhism has the qualities from, Bi, Joy, Equanimity,  Hoan Hy ,  Effort ,  Purity ... we  also  tried to  implement  for the virtue it.
