WHO IS THE PEOPLE WHO HEAD THE BUDDHA,
WHO IS BUDDHA WHO IS A FRIEND.
WHO IS BUDDHA WHO IS A FRIEND.
The content that we will discussin this short article is "Who sees dhamma is that person sees the Buddha, who sees the Buddha sees the dharma." Actually topic is not the author himself put that capital is the Buddha's teachings , are found many places in Business A jaw or Nikaya.
Cause Buddha said all this process, because false religions Vakkali in the potter's house, being sick seriously , going to death , but heart wanted area is the face of the Buddha and bowed to him one last time before die just , but it is impossible to place the Exalted in it, so venerable Vakkali gave the attendant to provide time to the Buddha to place himself in. Since kindness introspection Buddha has personally visited brethren Vakkali. After the Buddha asked:
"Vakkali, if you do not blame yourself for precepts , is there any confusion or remorse ?
- For a long time, the Blessed One , I want to come to see the Blessed One , but my body is not strong enough to be able to see the Blessed One .
"Okay, Vakkali, what's up with this stinking body?" This is Vakkali. Who sees dharma, he sees me, who sees me, he see dharma.
Above is the dialogue between the Blessed One and Vakkali. Through this dialogue form, it suggests we understand a few issues fundamental in Buddhism . The first problem that we need to determine where this is. Buddha and the monks Vakkali stand two positions are different. Brethren Vakkali stand from emotional perspective, with reverence, wanted to pay homage to and firsthand look at the face of the Buddha was last before dying leaves bare . However, the Buddha does not stand from the angle of this sentiment,
Conversely he stood from the perspective of a Tao monks visited Vakkali last and education Vakkali realizing the truth to be enlightened and liberated , so he was saying: 'Nothing is changing with the body Stinky '.
In my opinion, this statement has two meanings . Meaning the first that he wanted to transmit to us that he is human like how many people other, so the body of him just as much body else, also need to be eating sleeping well There is a state of sickness and excretion. Substances that are excreted in foul odors are like everyone else. There should be naive thought that the Buddha no longer has these phenomena .
If we have said that Buddha and being different, a difference which is just the difference between perception , ie the difference between people who enlightened (Buddha) and not enlightenment . Who enlightened no longer the kind of suffering in terms of psychological , but these kinds of suffering in terms of nature still, as hot and cold, sick hoan.vv ..
But he himself is not enlightened , there are two kinds of suffering both natural of physical and psychological . Actually the largest suffering of children who are suffering the psychological , not physical . Second, he wants to say that Vakkali is too emotional, too focused on the external form of the Tathagata , not to see the true value from within that He has attained under the tree. Bodhi . The value of the Buddha is not the truth is 32 good or 80 beauty. Then Vakkali wanted to see the body of the Buddha to do? What good for the remission illness severe that he suffer? What help is there for the near-death that Vakkali is facing?
Before floating suffering , the only teachings that Bhagavan has new evidence may terminate or at least as well as alleviate the suffering of Vakkali, the measures that truth which Vakkali need area is seen before died, if not living the life ordained in vain , no benefit for themselves what chance is to benefit beings .
Then what is the truth that he attained under the bodhi tree ? It is ethically interdependent (pratiya-Samutpada), the principle of operation of man and the universe , on earth do not have an object, a person survive or disappear without following this principle. This is the meaning that the Buddha presented in "Jataka" with the following content:
"France origination was not made by me, not because someone else made. Whether the Tathagata can appear or not appear in the world , that still exists. As Lai himself enlightened this law, the equatorial triangle ... "[2]
Teachings that Buddha enlightenment under the root Bodhi Tree is the origination that interdependence is the principle of operation of life , not by the Buddha himself creatively out that it is the principle of operation of man and the universeThere is no one else operating outside of this law, so the doctrine of dependent origination is called truth . From truth in Buddhism was brought meaning as such, not the words confused, lack of facilities.
Based from the doctrine of dependent origination , the Buddha pointed out human nature there is no such thing as self (atmam) or soul eternal , things always in a state of change shift, the shift that Buddha called impermanence (anitya), does not have a legal standing still fixed. Beauty, wealth , status .... no matter how much we try to hold, then also to change at some time. The difference between the wise and the foolish is the perception right or wrong,
Intellect certainly not forced to do anything contrary to the rules, so when things impermanent shifting, the position is not so that students sorrow anxiety or attitude opposed, only the fool wants Make things stand still . Want to not be the cause of suffering .
For love beings misfortune of suffering , the Buddha , depending on radical and qualifications vary for each type of beings , using all the means differ only beings see the truth of this, so they are enlightened and Liberation that formed the Congregation , the division has minor minor.
From this point it suggests we understand, France origination , impermanence , selflessness is the truth , the means or form of education are different, it is not the truth , because it only has value , and an object suitable to specific and certain particular, can not be the truth common to every man and every society different, so do not be called truth .
Here I want people to pay attention to one thing, Admiration that is very good and very need, but we should not confuse this admiration means understanding of Buddhism . Starting from the admiration of that devotion , we have spoken very indiscriminate, sometimes hurt the Buddha .
For example, we often say that Buddhism is the truth , while we introduce some perspective on Buddhism , it is absolutely no contact with the value what with living humans, sometimes harmful for life. While the Buddha attempted to introduce ,
Then how can these views be called truths ? It may be true and right for a certain element of society , but not everything, so it can not be called truth . That is the reason why the Buddha taught us that do not understand our message is defame us. Activity of the mind and heart are the two areas are different, both are needed for the life of man , but can not change the world to one another.
The heart that instead of the brain thinking things, then life will appear how messy and confused; Minds but rather how the heart works, the life of man is like as activities of the court, so we should not confuse between the mind and the heart. In my opinion, living together with one's heart and mind should work.
Through the presentation it helps us to explain the sentence: Who sees dharma, he sees me, who sees me, he sees dharma. Here the concept I pointed to the Buddha , so this sentence is understood Who sees the dharma, he sees the Buddha; Who sees the Buddha, he sees dhamma. The Dharma is here for the doctrine of dependent origination . Who see the law of dependent origination , he also see the state of impermanence , selflessness of things and even ourselves alone.
Who has seen very often selfless , he is intolerable: "My thing is that I'm my self", as such, be enlightened and liberated . Here, the concept of enlightenment and liberation are conceptual description of the results of the see and know, from the Buddha often used as intellectual , as a result of the practice of the Buddha under root Bodhi Tree . This enlightenment made Himself free from all misery, so called liberation .
Contemporaries also had many people of many classes of different practice his teachings, has also been enlightened liberation . After living in the teachings of His, be enlightened liberation , they feel that the differences between the practices of collection of Buddhism and the religious traditions of India so far. The Buddha advised people "Come to Buddhism to see and know, solve suffering,
That is the reason why many people after hearing the Buddha says France he said:
"It is so wonderful , Phra Gotama! Venerable Gotama, as erect what was thrown down , exposing what is concealed, directions for men astray, or bring light into the darkness for those who have eyes can see color. Likewise, the Chief Justice was Venerable Gotama use multiple means of presentation, explained . "[3]
Thus, the point highlight of the Buddha Sakyamuni is the enlightened liberation , not 32 General good 80 beauty, the principle to become Career enlightened liberation is found to be legal origination impermanence Not self . Thus, anyone who wants to see the Buddha must see the dharma. Also, who has seen the legal origination impermanence selflessness also means that he has seen the Buddha, as the term Buddhist concept with concept concept measures just to see the truth and the truth .
Thus, bhikkhus Vakkali if you want to view is the Buddha should be present is the enlightenment and liberation , if Vakkali want homage Buddha then Vakkali should practice the teachings of His, if Vakkali want to segment except for their well-suffering to the Vakkali yourself to enlightenment of origination of impermanence and non-self ., even if Vakkali want goods of beings , the first Vakkali to enlightenment truth . That is the content and meaning sentence: "Who sees dharma, He sees the Buddha; Who sees the Buddha, he sees dharma "when he advised bhikkhu Vakkali at the time of illness .
Despite that, this is the teachings of Bhagavan for brethren Vakkali in the past . I believe that the content and the meaning of it still have value practically to Buddhism today. Are we trying to paint the Golden Buddha praising the Lord Buddha 's 32 good generals but we accidentally or deliberately forget the teachings he has enlightened ?
Affordable with reverence we use every word praised , introducing features super Vietnam 's system of Buddhist philosophy, but we forget that generation of youth today's generation are being grown in social progress Ministry of science and technology, and are trained in the system of education advanced , with qualified expertise, they will be difficult to accept the viewpoint obscure lacks scientific basis. Meanwhile the majority of people in society today, attention to the problem has related to man and society in which they are to survive , not the problem philosophical and metaphysical.
I believe that the teaching that the Buddha enlightened is the doctrine for man , the object that the Buddha educated is human . Although that system doctrine which refers solve the problem specifically in the past , sometimes no longer fit for human beings and society today, but through the form of education which, it still hides a principle of spiritual education that Buddha wanted to send for the generation after not the same society and territory. That principle, that spirit is absolute value , apply to all times and people .
