In our daily lives , we have many questions, there are many issues to be resolved, such as: Through the Taliban government, Afghanistan, destroy the ancient Buddha statues In the year, some wonder: Buddhism has never invaded any country, but at this point will understand about: "Which people do you"? Buddhist Mahayana affordable not practical , so prone to invade other countries, because these countries Islam is now the Buddhist Mahayana before.
First, we divide the above questions into four parts, to learn to be clear :
1) Law of causality .
1) Law of causality .
2) Problem government Islamic Taliban destroyed the Buddha statues neck.
3) Buddhist Mahayana and Theravada .
4) Tibetan Buddhism .
* * *
1) Law of cause and effect . First of all, we need to learn about the law of cause and effect . The Law of Cause and Effect is often summed up in four words: "What do you do?"
Really is the case, in terms of experimental science, if sown nuclear orange, after a time , we get orange trees and will reap oranges, plus a number of conditions necessary , commonly known is grace , such as: fertilizers, sun , water, pesticides, public care. It is impossible to sow the sweet oranges of sour lemons, or vice versa.
The Law of Cause and Effect is applied in three periods: past , present , future . Sometimes when sowing in the past , the new harvest. Sometimes when you sow in the present , reap the fruit right in the present . There are seeds in the present , the new future reap. Examples such as sow 's religious practice long term , one way patiently persistent , new life reap results peacefulness well -being, further, achieved enlightenment and liberation .
However , there are people who promote goodness, in the present , such as: chanting , reciting the Buddha , going to pagodas , giving alms , saving people, helping life, eat good, healthy , filial , but often encounter fruit not healthy, in the present , such as: bad luck, accident , failure, spoiled children, in direct discord , house collapse .
Conversely , someone sow evil, no good, and in the present , as: stealing , shifty, deceptive , sucking blood spraying people, slander slandered , to dispose of wealth, intentions malice , stabbing was grain poke was rice, do a lot of interior multiplication bad faith , but have many fruit goodness , in the present , as: wealth, power , business flourishes, career development, power growing TB, status stronger.
In the above case , sowing good personality in the present , but good results are not immediately present . Meanwhile, sowing bad evil, not good, in the past , is now bearing fruit . Furthermore, many practitioners without school, just know chanting , Buddhist concept , to do good, but do not understand the teachings in a clear , to apply in life everyday .
Sometimes doing some good things , such as: helping one person, citing a sutta , looking for a book, and stabbing the canal, conceiving , thought to have done much good, , Earnestly cherish! Chanting Buddhist concept , without knowing treated compassionately petal , did not apply the teachings in life everyday , then charge back in directing such discord , such spoiled children, others do not appreciate!
In the next case , sow evil evil, not good, in the present , but the retribution is not timely present . Meanwhile, sowing good personality in the past , the present is bearing fruit. However , when the fresh fruit terminated , meaning blessings of all, people have to pay the temple karmic evil, not healthy, have created the present or the past.
Therefore, we are not surprised when I read the news about a bankrupt millionaire property , wives betrayed, friends back side , so to suicide, suicide to escape life debt! Or news about the leadership politics, or religion , was overthrown, was the coup, was assassinated , executed tragic , death no place to bury dead bodies! Or news of princesses , princesses, princes have crashed on the highway, died not dead, accident in the sea, died dead body!
In the Jhara , the Buddha taught:
· Even if you go up, go into the sea,
· Karmic retribution, still human ,
· Like the silhouette, no one can,
· Avoid escaping.

2) Problem government Islamic Taliban destroyed the Buddha statues neck. Understanding the causality as mentioned above, we know now that the government Islamist Taliban land of Afghanistan now (2001) to destroy the Buddha statues neck, not the "result" of human kindness "unprecedented aggression Occupy any country "before.
We should understand that: Law of cause and effect is always true in three times, no false runs, no exceptions. Only one, we have not yet reached the Buddha , to see clearly, as if standing on a high floor overlooking the fork, crossroads only! So, we should not assert: where is the cause, where is the result, in this case !
Only the statue of Buddha stately , sculpture smart, pure bar , deserved to admire, worship . The Buddha or Buddhist paintings damaged, termite gnawing , took solemn , should be canceled. There are many Buddhists do not master the doctrine, do not dare to cancel, keep wondering, keep up the mind about this!
In addition, we should know everything things in this world have the form , such as: the table, the house, the Buddha , the earth, it goes through four stages: not. Ie: Buddha stock formed by energy construction of man with the heart of the former, office that was two thousand years, has come time decay with time , with the sun and rain, and now return Nowhere , because of the destructive power of man . The wall is not , Also known as: birth, abortion, abortion, death. That's all! We should not bother, do not be worried about what happens on earth like that.
In the Kim Cang Kinh , the Buddha taught:
· Phàm the prime minister, the expected loss .
Meaning: Phàm in life, what is the form all are false , is impermanent , does not exist forever , is the same meaning. Immediately determine yourself the four elements of the Buddha Shakyamuni also be cremated after death . The disciples turned grief pity into force , bringing the Dharma spread to all men, of all generations later, to get the benefit inconceivable. Thanks to that,
We should know that: Humans are only capable of destroying Buddha statues , whether of gold, stone, bronze, or any material , but no one can destroy the Buddha Nature . Why? Because, Buddha Nature does not have form and everyone has Buddha Nature in an equal way .
In the Flower Adornment , the Buddha taught:
· Necessary beings , the Buddha Nature .
Meaning: All beings have Buddha Nature .

3) Buddhist Mahayana and Theravada . This is just a way of referring the Buddhist sects from India , through neighboring countries in Asia, also known as the Mahayana and the Southern .
Buddhism Mahayana , also known as Buddhism developed, because, introduced in any country of any, Buddhism developed peacefully, integration with cultural and local, there is no dispute or any Market, often turn into Buddhism of that country. We saw Buddhist Vietnam , Buddhist Chinese, Japanese Buddhism , Buddhist Korean , Tibetan Buddhism , Buddhist India , each with a separate identity.
Buddhist Theravada , also known as Theravada , advocates keep how to worship the Buddha was in the world , also spread peacefully, peacefulness , as: Buddhist Sinhalese , Buddhist Thai Lan, Buddhist Burma, Buddhist Laos, Buddhist Cambodia .
Whether sects do, Mahayana and Theravada , generally Buddhism are taking practical , realistic , can apply in life everyday , whether Buddhist or not Buddhist, to sublimate life, transformed spiritually , turn insecurity into peace , transforming suffering into happiness .
Buddhism advocates humans must take steps on the path of cultivating the mind nursing nature, without anyone doing rather himself. "Who ate it all, whoever attests," that is the absolute truth of justice . When practice to the extent ultimately , perfections , we will see all the things that are see through all very afraid , of the dung .
Buddha just save people predestined , ie people under study accordance with Dharma , not praying begging , to be Buddha bless relief. Why? Because, begging prayer really get anything, just makes people get peace of mind , peace of mind , about the time being heat the brain only.
In the Dhammapada , the Buddha taught:
· Light your own torch, walk yourself.
· Burn intelligent insight, torch Dharma .
Means that everyone must learn , learn Dharma , bringing the torch of intellectual its prey with torches wisdom Buddha, by preaching the doctrine , research-range classics , then self- thinking , application in life Daily , preserving precepts , meditating , developing intellectual wisdom . By preserving the precepts , the mind is purified and the wisdom of wisdom is opened.
In Buddhism , it is: the three halakas of learning the Five Precepts and the ThreeNoble Truths , which can lead us to enlightenment and liberation . That is the practicality of Buddhism .

4) Tibetan Buddhism . As for the countries formerly under Buddhism , now turned into Islam , everything changed, change just proves life is impermanent , true to the Buddha taught in the scriptures alone. Particularly Tibetan Buddhism crashed to exile , which is unfortunate . However , in the unhappiness there is good virtue , in the risk of luck, in the luck there is a good luck:
Just like the Vietnamese we live all over the world today, nothing called: humiliation or humiliation. Humiliation or peace is not necessarily dependent place, or circumstance , which depends on the mind of man . Tam also more chaotic , people still see the humiliation and suffering . Mind is peace , meditation , people feel peace and liberation .
In the book has the sentence: "Depending on where peace is usually".
We get out of that binary world and find a positive direction : to bring human , financial , physical and intellectual resources from all over the world , to serve our homeland, when they meet predestined convenient . That's how we metabolize 's not healthy fruits fresh.
In the Flower Sakyamuni Buddha has taught:
· Essentially idealistic creation .
Meaning: heavenly realms of Nirvana or Hell , all depend on the human mood , created by the very heart of man . Such as: to get the Buddha's mind , you have to abandon the mind . If you want to be safe then you have to lose your mind or cause trouble. Because, the book has the sentence "life is birth". Therefore, the new Buddhist Tripitaka , teaching only eight thousand four thousand disciplines , to help people to be enlightened and liberated .
* * *
In summary , the following points are personality practical of Buddhism , the Buddha taught in the scriptures :
· Be metabolic afflictions suffering into peace and well -being.
· Be transformed earth is she suffering into realms of self in nirvana .
· Be transformed ordinary ignorance of angry enlightenment ,
· Secretarial College, enlightenment . 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.5/6/2017.
