Thich Tam Chau: Towards the Founding of the World Buddhist Church. In the face of the reality of modern history, almost all of humanity is suffering and accepting with its miserable life, that is: inner tension, ideological conflict, national envy, and relationship. racism, class struggle, power struggle and religious antagonism. All of the above phenomena are seriously threatening life and world peace, creating forms of war: Deep war: war that destroys the soul of each person and loses confidence in himself and herself. life, and then live in agony and despair. Cold War: psychological, political, technical, and economic wars that strain the nerves of mankind, frequently disrupting social life. Hot war: the war of force and blood, was, is and is likely to take place in every beloved land of mankind. The most specific and fiercest in Vietnam, our homeland, is suffering all kinds of wars of the times, suffering all the misfortunes of the world. With the spirit of compassion and enlightenment available to every believer in the Buddha-especially the firstborn of the Buddha-we can't help but be heartbroken at that tragedy and can't help but find a way to free ourselves and the world. , and firmly build the dharma on a good society. To fulfill that desire, we review the ups and downs in the mission of each locality, draw experiences, rebuild a strong national and international Buddhist church organization and know how to bring religion into the world by practical human benefits. Historically, Chinese Buddhism also experienced its heyday. failure caused by circumstances and personnel. Vietnamese Buddhism was introduced around the end of the second century of the solar calendar, but most of the traditional teachings were derived from China and the Tripitaka in Chinese. Through the eighteenth century present in Vietnam, Buddhism brought great prosperity during the Ly and Tran dynasties; but gradually declined thereafter. Especially for nearly this century, Vietnamese Buddhists have endured with great patience to revive their religion, but many times have encountered tragic situations that were almost destroyed. Reluctantly, in the Buddhist calendar year 2057 (1963), Vietnamese Buddhism had to launch a campaign, hoping to bring about freedom of thought, religious equality and social balance. With the noble self-immolation torch of Bodhisattva Quang Duc and the Buddhist monks and nuns and with the suffering, slander, beating, destruction, imprisonment, death of all the Sangha, followers in the abroad, this great calamity is escaped. This great tribulation speaks of the boundless sacrifices of Vietnamese Buddhists, which are extremely beautiful influences of the source of Buddha's teachings. The dark hour has passed, and it is still a historic opportunity, a strong motivation for Vietnamese Buddhists to fulfill their aspiration to unify the South and the North under the name of "Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam". When the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam was born, all Vietnamese Buddhists aim to build, bring the spirit of Compassion, Joy and Equanimity towards what the past has caused them to suffer, and are determined to bring religion help life, in the pure spirit of Buddhism. But unfortunately, Vietnamese Buddhists did not meet their wishes, had to receive a great tribulation for the second time in the Buddhist calendar years 2508 (1964), with all the mourning, delicate political tricks. terrible; With the political tool that gave birth to the fictitious Buddhist organization to divide the internal ranks, in order to break the foundation of the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam, by the hands and hearts of degenerate forces, the evil thoughts created. This policy of destruction, division and destruction is still a serious threat to our jobs and the building of the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam. However, the strength of Bi, Tri, and Dung of Vietnamese Buddhists has been demonstrated through two periods of tribulation, and knows that: The spirit of understanding, solidarity, and hard work of people who will do, dare to do with what is... good, beautiful for human society that material forces cannot overwhelm. Humans have rediscovered the meaning of sacrifice and hope. It is also thanks to the merits of Buddhists all over the world and enlightened mankind, with the contribution of Vietnamese Buddhists. And it can also be said that all the problems of the times are of international stature, and are solved at the world level. Of course, it is not possible to look at the problem in a simple way, but to find an ideological basis, the contradictions, in order to work with humanity to build a peaceful, free and coordinated life. That ideological basis and human resources hope to be realized by Buddhism after experiencing the challenges in the life of liberalism and mechanical socialism, after merging. achieve the ideas, initiatives and development momentum of the current technology, after having unified the world's Buddhist forces — unified in doctrine, discipline, church organization, and charity. The campaign to unify Buddhism in the world has been carried out for many years, is the hope of all Buddhists, and is actively prepared by the Buddhist Church of all nations, specifically, today's Congress of Buddhist Sangha. We all hope that: Through the congress here and many congresses in other countries, one day not far the Buddhist family will actually enter the great conference room that the times are waiting for. In form, the unification of the World Buddhist Church is considered to create something new for humanity, but the meaningful content will not be a schism between the internal religion and humanity; on the contrary, it must be a spiritual force of patience, peace and compassion, wisdom to unite two opposing ideologies in the world, to restore the value of freedom and creativity of each person. in collectives of love, peace and happiness All the demands of today's times, both spiritually and ideologically, have been thoroughly answered in the Buddha's teachings, have been proven by Buddhist history of all nations: in China, two sources of Taoism's Unvi, Confucianism used to cause turbulence in the thought of gender, but thanks to the introduction of Buddhism, a source of thought satisfies the two sides of the transcendental and the existent. In Vietnam, Buddhism has also fused the two religions of Taoism and Confucianism, creating prosperity under the reigns of Dai Ly and Tran… Today we believe that the spirit of reconciliation and the historical role of Buddhism will bring return love, sympathy and sincere construction to human society in peace and evolution forever. The Buddha's magnetic light has illuminated many countries in the world, who understand, There are a lot of people who believe in Buddhism, but we recognize that our world Buddhist organization is tight and perfect. Even countries in the Pacific region, where Buddhists make up the majority today, still do not fully understand each other. However, if we bring our whole heart to sincerely build for the foundation of the World Buddhist Church in all aspects, this organization allows us to have the feeling that it will be of great help to understanding and progress. , human happiness and discrimination will no longer exist between ideologies, races, and nations. Buddhism appeared in the middle of the century when class and class divisions were very serious, the Buddha repeatedly demonstrated the spirit of breaking down caste and class prejudices, showing everyone the true worth of human beings. equality: everyone has Buddha nature and has the potential to become a Buddha. He also taught people the method of transferring karma to free themselves and liberate the world; All powers are assigned according to each person's talent, virtue and performance. According to the life of the Buddha, by the wonderful teachings of Buddhism and based on the history of Buddhism, let's believe together try to carry out a cultural activity by promoting the principles of Compassion, Wisdom and fusion by the unification of the World Buddhist Church, so that together with other genuine spiritual forces of humanity type, guiding movements for the needs and hopes of freedom, peace, and real and eternal happiness of mankind in the future.* THANH TAM CHAU * Speech by Venerable Thich Tam Chau, Director of the Institute The Buddhist Sangha of the Vietnamese Buddhist Sangha reads before the Congress of the Sangha in Taiwan, at 10:00 a.m. on November 5, 1965.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY,8/7/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
Thich Tam Chau: Buddhism with People | Part II: Human Method | Salvation and Liberation "When the mind perceives that all constructions are impermanent, the self is suffering and illusory, then the mind merges with the eternal essence of absolute Nirvana" - Sutra A Ham Liberation Liberation is the ultimate goal, the ultimate method of Buddhism. Liberation will manifest right in the conduct of human beings if people want to be liberated and liberated.
