Faith of the Buddhists.

Saddhà in Buddhism or faith in the Buddha, in France, where the Sangha is a mighty power. Saddhà is a small spark that, if we know how to be careful, will one day become a fire that can burn all the defilements in the mind, all the afflictions.

The word "faith" is often used to translate the word "Saddhà" in Sanskrit.

Saddhà is a Sanskrit language that is difficult to translate in another word. The term "faith" which we usually use does not reveal the meaning of "Saddhà". So here let's keep the Saddha name intact  . What is Saddha?

A baby standing in honor of the Buddha through the relics of the relics of Buddha, such as the tree that has been sunshine to protect him, such as stone statues, statues, paper statues, the artist. The force to bring the mind to imagine the Buddha according to his imagination. That is Saddha's simplest form.

The belief that the baby is fully placed in the Three Jewels is all the trust that his parents have made in his heart. That trust will guide you through the long journey of life in a holistic way. That trust is similar to the "faith" that people put on things like the North Star, such as the theory of death, or quantum theory, certainly does not have the opportunity to test quantum theory, Electronics etc ...

Saddhà of older Buddhists is more subtle and noble. Saddhà is the primary characteristic of Buddhists in the worship of the Buddha. In the Buddhist country, on the Buddha's day, Buddhists heartily traveled from one temple to another to worship the Buddha, visitors far away to visit the Buddhist temple in the Buddha's birthday not sure of the surprise. Asked, "Buddhism has denied the god of creativity on all animals, the Buddha taught to always calmly use reason to speculate and observe the wall of things. Worship the statues as god worshipers? "

What is the meaning of worshiping the Buddha's body? That devotion is certainly born of Saddhà?

Can we analyze the Saddhà of Buddhists? - Neck.

And the most powerful motive in Saddhà is the devout love which is mixed with the gratitude that makes Saddhà noble purity, no less profitable, not selfish. When the Buddha worshiped the Buddha, do not expect anything in Him, because they know for sure that the Buddha was supernatural, no longer directly help anyone in the universe anymore.

Buddhists also do not worship worship the Buddha because of fear as people are afraid of the spirit, nor ask for prayers. Only love, love, gratitude, passionate, not profitable, not selfish.

Honesty is an important element of Saddhà. Another key characteristic of Saddhà is trust. Everyday growth is growing as every day Buddhists progress more and more in Dharma, practice, and in accomplishing virtue. In every step, Saddha grew, until he attained Arahantship

The love and trust in the Three Jewels are the two components of Saddhà. Both are noble and worth cultivating.

Saddhà in Buddhism or faith in the Buddha, in France, where the Sangha is a mighty power. Saddhà is a small spark that, if we know how to be careful, will one day become a fire that can burn all the defilements in the mind, all the afflictions. Saddhà is our trust in a person, and in his teachings, not in a god. We believe in one person, in the flesh like ours, but one with immeasurable compassion, in the great compassion of the mind, covering all suffering beings. This compassion motivates him to always walk on the path of service, sacrificing all that we try to hold, to cling, to sacrifice our lives. From one life to another, in countless continents, every day is more complete, until one day, under the bodhi tree of Uruvela, with the iron will to fight to the end:

"The blood oil is running dry, the flesh wears off and disintegrates, even if the skin is bones, we will not leave this seat before we succeed."

He won. The light of truth shines upon Him the mysteries of life. This glorious victory turned Siddhartha into a Buddha, Gotama Buddha, Venerable Master, the Blessed One, the Almighty, the Supreme Master. The Buddha taught:

"Bhikkhus, the Tathagata has also suffered from birth, senility, illness, death, defilement and grief." But the Tathagata soon noticed the impermanence of all things, Because of this, Tathagata seeks the absolute safety of Nirvana, the immortal being, the sickness, the sickness, the defilement, the sickness, the defilement And Tathagata has achieved the direction of Nirvana, not born, not death, not aging, not sick, not afflicted, not flabbergasted. As Lai has seen and experienced, Tathagata has completely freed. This is the last life of the Tathagata and when I die, Tathagata no longer returns. "

In the past fifteen years, after enlightenment, with infinite compassion, never tired, always patient, he transplanted the color to those who have ears to hear, those who have faith in. Him, and His Dhamma.

His ultimate teaching is:

"Bhikkhus, I remind you that all things are impermanent, and try to practice diligently, until the day of success."

The Buddha is the essence of humanity. We are volunteers who follow in his footsteps. In front of whom we respectfully bowed. This is the Buddhist form of worship. It is certainly not "faith," as blind faith that ordinary people understand, nor is it a faith that is not based on reason, in fact, of life. Saddha, on the contrary, is love and trust, a devotional devotion that arises from the heart through the intellect, when one understands the value of self-control, self-control, When you see the heart of the Buddha, when you realize the value of the precious legacy that the Buddha left for us, a precious object. Price, his teachings.

So we collect enough flowers, aromas, candles of all kinds, then kneel at His feet, and try to put our minds to the sentence we read: " Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Samma Sambuddhassa " (I Gautama - Tassa, bowing - Namo, Bhagava - Supramundane Samantabha - Samma Sambuddho), or: "I direct my heart to honor the Blessed One, Giving, the Chief Pastor.

Whenever the "I" rests in the heart, it is difficult for one to worship, even though he is the greatest in the world and in the heavenly realms. Whenever I see the big, important, I have sacrificed my whole life, all my many lives, to help me find the perfect, safe place for us. Still belittle. But we are aware that craving is the source of defilements arising from the concept of "I" and "mine", we are also aware that rejecting all is hard, then we have caught The beginning of the concept is somewhat worthy of the Buddha. Once you have received many elaborate collections to find a permanent eternal Dharma of the first great one in the world,

I have stood in my actual position for the noble example of virtue, altruism, and virtue that the Buddha achieved. Grave and affection began to fill our minds. And innocently, the bottom of the heart, generated the devotional ideas of all the Buddhas in the three, then enjoy the concept:

"I wholeheartedly revered the Buddhas in the past, and  
I wholeheartedly revered the Buddhas in the future,  
devoted myself to the present Buddha."

Ye ca buddha anagata, paccuppanna ca ye buddha, aham vandani sabbada)

Or:  "The buddhas have become Righteous In the past, the Buddhas will become Righteousness in the future, the Buddhas who are the Righteous Enlightenment in this present life, That's it . "

That is Saddhà. A respect, a love and a belief. Without Saddhà, one will not have the zeal, the energy and the spirit, the three elements necessary to achieve the goal. The "I" gradually leaves us and the Light of the Truth comes to us. "When a Bodhisattva attains Buddhahood, His glorious light and glorious light shatters the darkness that is flooded with life's mischievous sea, and outlines the 'path' for each strong man to reach the state. Happy and happy ".

Once we have mastered the Buddha's teachings, we can of course drive our boat straight to the other side of the river. But the driving force behind the boat was the birth of Saddhah. So it is not only children who need to bow to the body of the Buddha to offer Him flowers or incenses, but we all have to offer the Buddha, because only mental capacity Can help us, because we have not destroyed self, and Saddha is the antidote to eliminate the poison of the "I".

We must also show our respect ... even if we do not respect the devotion of a character, because every character is just a combination of always changing phenomena ... we only Honor your heart toward an ideal. When we pay homage, we find in the needle of the Buddha a rich source of energy, we built in the heart a solemn place of worship, we try to prepare clean heart to be worthy of the procession of his image and religion. Imagine that image in the inner temple full of love, potential in my heart.

In front of the altar, every day we offer to the Buddha the gifts ... not the candles to be worn, or the flowers to wither, but acts of love, attitudes sacrifice Noble, totally altruistic works. That is the gift that Buddhists have to give to the Buddha every day.

Let's try to be worthy to follow the footprints of the Buddha, not for the sake of nominality. We have to prove by heart and daily lifestyle that our ideals are still valid to call and lead us.

The capacity of the pure trust (Saddhà) of the Three Jewels, will surely bring us to the goal that the Buddha demonstrated. During a period of Dharma preaching in the Jetavana of Xa Vay, before the monks, the Buddha said:

"Bhikkhus, in the Dhamma Tathagata has taught, explained and pointed out, you are well-versed, no longer ambiguous, the bhikkhu practicing that Dharma with a Saddhà firmly, he will become the Full Enlightenment ... "

And the Buddha taught next:

"Bhikshus, in the Dhamma Tathagata has taught, explained and explained, you are thoroughly knowledgeable, no longer ambiguous, bhikkhu only remembers the Tathagata with faith Thought and respect, he will be reborn in heaven.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.18/4/2017.
