HOLIDAYS  AND  CHRISTMAS

 The story tells that after going on a rambling tour of  France  in the villages,  the Buddha  returned to the  monastery , and between  them  there was a  discussion about  the  rugged  or flat state of the  roads  that  had passed . The Buddha  said that  discussing  these  paths  is not  suited for  liberation , that is, only paths outside the  body and mind . He advised the monks should  pay attention  to the  path of nobility as the "Eightfold Path" under the  doctrine  "Four Noble Truths" and the  need to  do another so soon obtained  attainment . The  basic teachings  of  Buddhism be  summarized  as follows:

 ( Dhammapada  273)  
The  noble way leading The  
mysterious "Noble Eightfold Path",  
Four  truths  Supreme 
As the "Four Noble Truths" are easy to match,  
No longer  cherish  the king 
is the highest noble incense  Nirvana ,  
In species of  animal  legs  
Then who  Omniscient  very shy  supreme .

 People  Buddhist  practice  to want  permanent  peace and happiness out of  samsara  's  world . In order to  achieve  that result,  Buddhists  must first understand  the status  of human life , know the disease of  the world  , and then find medication. Buddha  teaching  beings find  refuge in the Buddha , Dharma and Sangha are aimed to help  our students  develop  the intellectual  and  simultaneously understand  four  truths  mystery  that out of suffering. These four  truths  are called "Four Noble Truths":

( Dhammapada  190-191)  
If  refuge in the Buddha , Dharma and Sangha  
Particularly  intellectual  promoted  mystery  
Realizing  Four  profound :  
Knowing that  earthly  suffering is,  
understanding the origin of suffering another,  
Know road kill off go is already suffering  
Know  eightfold  wonderful 
Eight road  righteous  people  should follow.

 The Buddha  preached the "Four Noble Truths" to clarify  the state  of human life and teach  how  to change  that situation  . "Quartet" is four; "Magic" is  magical ,  mystery , noble; "Truth,"  the truth , is  truth . Four Noble Truths  are four  truths of mystery . It is: suffering ( dukkha ); The origin of suffering ( the Noble Truth ); the  cessation of suffering  ( Removal Empire ) and the  path  leading to the  cessation of suffering  ( True Path ). 

 Suffering should be  smooth ,  understanding . The source of suffering,  the  cause of suffering (  craving ), must be eradicated. The  cessation of suffering  (  Nirvana ) must be  realized . The road  leading to the  cessation of suffering  (ie  eightfold ) must be developed. Oil Buddhas  Christmas  or not, four  Truth  was  still  on  earth . The Buddhas only  discover and point out to  humanity  the four  truths of this mystery  .

 1.  Suffering :  The  first truth about  the  living conditions  of  sentient beings  in  the world  is  suffering , a reality that  people  feel from birth  until  they close their eyes. Buddha  taught: "Hey  monks , birth is suffering, old age is suffering, disease is suffering, death is suffering,  love  that  separation  is suffering, without hope for the suffering. In short ,  attachment to the five aggregates  is suffering. " Thus, "suffering" can be divided into three  aspects :  

About  aspect  physiology : 

 About  aspect  psychological : suffering is by no  contentment , not  satisfied  etc .. The loss,  loss  of  life  makes me miserable. The person I love is close to not be, the person I hate must keep meeting up. Want money,  fame ,  status  but it goes beyond his reach ...

 On  clinging to the  five aggregates : This third suffering covers the two above suffering, as in the sutras: " Clinging to the  five aggregates  is suffering." Five aggregates  or "five aggregates" are the five  factors that  rely on each other to form  human beings ,  including : the  physical body is  physical  and  mental structure  is feeling, perception, action and consciousness. Calling together is "form, feeling, thought, action, consciousness". Generally speaking, when we  cling to  the five  elements  , as "we", "our", as our self, suffering is present. All suffering,  anxiety ,  fear,  

 Buddhism  does not deny that  in life  people also sometimes  fun  happy  because  our body and mind  to be  satisfied  in what you want. These  happiness  is the good result of the good  karma  created in this  past life  or life. The Buddha  did not teach that  man  should avoid such  happiness  . It should not be  misunderstood  as he meant to deny feelings of  people  to  pursue  some  ideal  spiritual  nobility. What the Buddha  wanted to remind  us  not to us to  get rid of  completely  emotionally  healthy of  people , but only a reference  we  should not focus  attachment and attachment to the pleasures of the material . Do not get lost  in the bliss of the above. Buddha says something funny that is the fun fragility  of suffering , the fun still entangled in ignorance  of karma  leads to suffering deeper the more thick. but only a reference weshould not focus attachment and attachment to the pleasures of the material . Do not get lost in the bliss of the above. Buddha says something funny that is the fun fragilityof suffering , the fun still entangled in ignorance of karma leads to suffering deeper the more thick. but only a reference we should not  focus attachment and  attachmentto the pleasures of  the material . Do not get  lost in the  bliss of the above. Buddhasays something funny that is the fun  fragility of  suffering , the fun still entangled in  ignorance of karma leads to suffering deeper the more thick.

"  Suffering the immensity of the  water flooded the sky,  
guests  flock a boat to play,  
Boat anyone in the wind, down the wind,  
dip in the pool only!"

 An inspired poet who   writes as above. By the wind or the wind, the boat is in the sea only, can not cross the sea. Which sea is the sea of ​​suffering. So the fun of the  people  in the scene  damnation  is the fun in the  suffering of  the world , is not so happy  deliverance . Thus,  the Buddha  said that life is suffering, although  sentient beings  for life are happy, then  passionate  life, no time to leave,  until one day to close his eyes to breathe, then panic Suffering

 What makes the most important obstacles to the development of  spirituality  is not the material things, or the  external environment  has power to create pleasure and  interest ; It is the mind that is passionately  attached , reminiscent of things or things,  according to the  selfish desire  of  man . According to  Buddhism  the  state of  spirit when  confronted  with  the external environment  was the important thing.

 A prince goes  home  and withdraws into the forest, meditating  alone . At night, he  hears the  sound of singing and singing from despair and  discontent  with  the solitary lifestyle  between the deep forests. A tree gods encouraged him to  try to find  interesting  in life to live  alone . Later, Mr.  Monks  discontent  was  returned transparent narrative back to the  Buddha . Buddha  preached to the teacher about the  personality  difficulties of life on  earth :

( Dhammapada  302)  
It is difficult to replace  anti-craving  and  
order that the joy of living  the life  ordained ,  
Difficult instead lives in the  
earthly  living  truth is painful,  
suffering instead to live together  
when not congenial soul smoothly,  
Suffering continues to float  
in the cycle of  life and death  around the corner,  
So lo escape quickly  
suffering in this place,  death  .

 Buddha  preached to us to see  life  deeper,  further , true to  the truth  more. Looks deeper and  farther , for the  joys  of  the world  are  unstable , not  permanent . When it is gone,  we are  sad. But even when it is, it also causes  us  how busy,  worrying , hate jealousy, animosity ... It  seems true  , because while we are  passionate  in  happiness , if we do not know the practice  to  preserve  and  grow  karmic  healing was born  happy  , the  happiness  began to  decline  under the law, "impermanence" then. Suffering  has  gradually come  to substitute  for  pleasure  . Therefore,  the common and true condition  of the world  is suffering . He is a "truth" certainly , obviously . Therefore, the common and true condition of the world is suffering . He is a "truth" certainly , obviously . Therefore, the common and true  condition of  the world is  suffering . He is a "truth"  certainly ,  obviously . 

 A young man is  parents  wholeheartedly  love . He was  ordained  as  monkswithout  parental  consent  before. Later,  his parents  also  turn to  follow the same  family . But  he and  his parents  do not live together and do not leave the  end to sub-samples , keep on closely  gathered  together, living  together  in a temple and go  begging . The position  monks  else  feel uncomfortable  should go platinum with  Buddha . 

 ( Dhammapada  210)  
to someone else who  loved ,  
Do not close those I usually did not like,  
in this world of suffering little to fit  
When love is not met, the preferred such adjacent  
stubborn pain after spending  
Hate must meet, plaintive other must next.

 Buddha  also taught that one should not passionate  attachment  because when  separated from  or lose what you  craving  time I will  feel  miserable . The passionate  attachment  prone  binding :

( Dhammapada  211)  
Do not love the charm of  
Lest when separation  crushing  consumed  
If that love and hate are no longer  
there is nothing  binding ,  soul  disengaged . 

 2.  Tap empire : the origin or  causes  leading to the current situation  of suffering . "Tap" is the accumulation, the  afflictive  husbands that  form the  capacity to  bring suffering. When  awareness  is  the nature  of suffering an  obvious , can we  go on road  sections  take suffering  pain.

 Life  is suffering or not, all  depends  on the  attitude of  psychology ,  sensation  and  perception of each person; the cause  of suffering originating  deep  in the  minds  of  people . Buddhism  also sees the  causes  of  suffering ; with the arising from  physical  or  circumstances  society , but  the cause  really is still the  mind .

 The cause  of suffering is often the  business problem  addressed is  craving , so  craving  that cling ,  cling  to the object of  craving . The desire for  pleasure  will lead to suffering, because the desire is never  satisfied . Buddha  taught "Craving born melancholy superiority,  craving  born  of fear . Who  freed  craving  time without  fear of fear  ": 

( Dhammapada  216)  
Starting from  greed  born  
birth, fear born hard to avoid  
when the  craving to  leave 
no fear  nothing at  all.

 Cause  deeper and  fundamental  than is  ignorance , ie  ignorance  not clearly see the nature  of things  phenomena  are dependent on each other that  arise , are  impermanent  and  changing , no one entity, the  durable firmly  independent  in them. Do not see clearly, so heart  bent , grab hold the object of  pleasure . It is not clear to me that the "I" is the most important, that the real  need to  cling to ,  strengthen  and  satisfy its  needs. Due to ignorance  , there is  attachment to  "me" and "mine". Because of these  attachments  , there are the sufferings  of life . We  can see  a clear, unpleasant or not due to his own heart, by the look of each person for life . Without the attachment  and the desire  for selfishness  or affliction  stir, dominate , reign in the mind, life  full of peace and happiness . Because of these attachments , there are the sufferings of life . We can see a clear , unpleasant or not due to his own heart, by the look of each person for life . Without the attachment and the desire for selfishnessor affliction stir, dominate , reign in the mind, life full of peace and happiness . Because of these attachments , there are the  sufferings of  life . We can see a clear , unpleasant or not due to his own heart, by the look of each person for life . Withoutthe attachment and the desire for selfishness or affliction stir, dominate , reign in the mind, life full of peace and happiness . We can see a clear , unpleasant or not due to his own heart, by the look of each person for life . Without the attachment and the desire for selfishness or affliction stir, dominate , reign in the mind, life full of peaceand happiness . We can  see a  clear , unpleasant or not due to his own heart, by the look of each person for  life . Without the  attachment and the  desire for selfishnessor  affliction stir,  dominate , reign in the mind,  life full of  peace and  happiness .

 3.  Striking out : "Removal" is  the end , is  extinguished . Removal insole  is  terminated  or  extinguished  afflictions ,  causes  lead to  suffering . When break apart all the  negativity  then  people are  free to  complete , peaceful and happy,  lucid  and no personnel to make  Samsara again. Man  was  freed  from  samsara and reach  Nirvana .

 Buddhism  confirm  life  full of  suffering ,  we  often heard that "life is suffering". Yet Buddhism  and  also determine a  true  else is  peace ,  happiness . So  that there is a  practice  to  achieve  happiness . This happiness either  relative  or  absolute . 

 Happiness is  relative : When we calm heart  craving ,  clinging to  the  mind  is no longer heated by the flame  sorrow ,  worry ,  fear  anymore. My mind is  calm and  lucid  than the ability  perceive  things  the phenomenon of  deep and  accurate than. Our mind  is  transformed , our  attitude  towards  people  generosity ,  tolerance  and humility; For  wealth ,  property , Fame  becomes more  serene  , no longer  pressured  by it  weighing  on his heart. On that basis, we enjoy  life  with better quality. In short , depending on the ability to  reduce  greed, hatred and  ignorance  to what extent,  our lives  will be  increased happiness  to that extent.

 If we develop  happy  spirit  higher by  meditating  on, then we will have  peace and wonderful . Buddha  taught: "There are people there  can not  be physical illness in a year or maybe to a hundred years, but it is rare for people not sick in  spirit , if only for a minute." The  psychology  is considered the disease of  the spirit  is  greed ( desire chasing  the sensual  world of sense  "color, sound, smell, taste, touch"),  anger (hatred, no  satisfaction ) dullness were chasing  ( lazily  in the mind, not  diligent ,  persistent ),  oscillations  and  remorse  ( anxiety  because of the action  immoral ),  skepticism  and  hesitation  (center  uncertainty ). When  these kinds  of  psychologies are present, it will  bind  and shield  our minds  ; Excluding them,  the spirit  will  be as pure  and  peaceful  as  the moon  from  the cloud cover.   

 Happiness is  absolute : On the basis of  happy  spirit , we develop  insight , afferent to rid the  entire  negativity  of subtle ,  profound , we  can achieve  happiness absolute ,  ultimate  is  Nirvana . Destruction  is  Nirvana . Nirvana  is the  pure , is  happy  absolute . The Buddha  taught:

( Dhammapada  204)  
Who is not sick, the most profitable life  
Who knows enough that people  of wealth 
Who  faithfulness  is your gold  
And where  ecstasy :  Nirvana  is here.

 4.  sole director : "Religion" is the  way , the  method of  implementation  led to  terminate  suffering. The Buddha  taught  us students  a  way  to make sure  to go to  Nirvana . Thus,  the whole  teachings  that  the Buddha  taught are the  Noble Truths. The road  was called  the Noble Eightfold Path  ( Eight noble ) are considered  typical  and  basic  of  sole director . 

( Dhammapada  274)  
The  only way  to  
find Where else can I find a way to  
make  clear  the vision,  
You follow the golden way of talking on the  
Mara Mysterious  rapture right now  
There is no  desire to  bother you. 

 Eightfold Path  is the  path  "Middle Way," which  the Buddha  was  found  to  realize Nibbana . The path  consists of  eight  genuine , eight  mystical means   that Buddhists  must do: "Right View,  Right Action ,  Right Speech ,  Right Action ,  Right Livelihood ,  Right Effort ,  Right Mindfulness  and Right Concentration." It is  the only path of enlightenment . Stand on a  philosophical ,    

 -  Right : is seeing,  understanding  the true or  perceived  right,  clear  lifelike. Awareness  right about  ethics  of life, which is good, which is evil. Get to know about the  nature  of things right with  the truth , with  justice .

 -  Thought :  Thinking  right , righteous and  judge  wisely , true to the  truth , not  delusions . By  knowledge , the true view that right meditation or  thought  arises.

 -  Right speech :  Language  correctness , that is not to say the words  promising language ,  harsh , two blades leads to  painful , divisive, violent  hatred . To speak  honest ,  calm ,  just and  gentle words that  lead to  building  trust , united  harmony ,  love  and  interests , words with Truthfulness, Compassion, and the United States. Also bring  the means  that  teach people. 
-  Right Action :  Acts  properly ,  

 -  Right Livelihood :  Life  proper ,  clean  means  means  livelihood, profession rightly, do not live by the occupation  illegal ,  cruel ,  cunning  prone to  evil .

 -  Right effort :  Efforts  properly , diligently  diligently ,  trying  hard  with all  the energy  itself  to rid the evil  practice of  goodness. Eradicate  negativity  and build good faith.

 -  Mindfulness : Me thinks  proper , true remembrance. Remember the rightly did,  visualize  things true  now  and will do, to  think  and act with  justice , to  eradicate the  idea  is wrong and  prevent the  job  wrong . 

 -  Right Concentration : Focus  ideological  correctness ,  centering  rightly, means not  to care  formula being  pulled , concentrated  thoughts  as  peace  of mind  in a  proper , have  effectively  develop  wisdom .

 According to  the Buddha,  the Eightfold Path is  the  only way  to  end  all  suffering :

( Dhammapada  275)  
Net under  the path  , then  
How much  anguish  instantaneous  dissipated ,  
After  enlightened  religion yellow  
Knowing  ways  kill countless  thorns 
Killing how  obstacles  harm  
I now teach you  the path .

 Doctrine  "Four Noble Truths" is both the  means , just as  salvage . A   complete teaching full of  humanity  brings  faith , vitality for  people and  society. Characteristics  of  catechesis "Four Noble Truths" is  the Middle Way , not to fall into  extreme  enjoyment  sensual  or  ascetic  mortification . The  "Four Noble Truths" include all the  teachings  that  the Buddha  taught,  

 The Buddha  taught that it was not for  the family , not for  the birth  of a  class,  to  become a  Brahmin . But who  knows  the true "Four Noble Truths",  communicating the Dharma , that is who  Brahmin :

( Dhammapada  393)  
called  Brahmins 
because braided hair always on top  
because  of race  alone where  
Nor for being  based on  place of birth ,  
alone who  knows  true love  
"Four Truths"  heart of  realized  
mastery of  "Dharma"  Buddha 
And always  pure , the  Brahmin

 There are two people  quarreling  because everyone said his cow is stronger. In order to avoid losing, two people sand and stone filled the car and then crawled. The car does not budge but the rope is broken. The position  monks  see the prospectus with  the Buddha . Buddha  advised the monks to eradicate the ropes of his mind to  become  users  of enlightenment . The  Enlightened One  is the one who  comprehends the  Four Noble Truths:
