Salvation to liberation BUDDHA WITH HUMAN HT. Thich Tam Chau To Dinh Tu Quang, Canada, 1982 PART SECOND II.- UNDERSTANDING OBLIGATIONS "In him there is a voice, it often reminds him of what to do. your heart..." Victor Pauchet "It doesn't matter, it lived..." A person who understands his duties and fulfills his duty is a worthy person who can set a good example for life. Growing up on the human earth, humans are the driving force that governs all. Man is the embodiment of all, so he must understand and practice all in all cases and at all times. A cozy family living in harmony,Happy love cannot help but ask a lot of human obligations. A country that is honored in the international arena is able to live peacefully in a prosperous and prosperous environment thanks to its conscientious, understanding and honest citizens with their obligations. Therefore, a society with sufficient evidence to ensure that it is an organized and progressive society in the sense of living as it really is, an ideal that is always held in the heart will create ideal behaviors, bring reality. Righteousness and common interests are not outside of man himself, he already has the faculty of "knowing and becoming united". For us as a member of a family, a nation, a society, a position in all circumstances to maintain and create, can't we not recognize our true worth, our true obligation? of our people.When we have admitted of course we have to learn, have to be happy to shoulder and have to do to suit our circumstances. 1.- OBLIGATIONS OF PARENTS TO CHILDREN. "As a parent, everyone wants to bring benefits to their children, so parents often do things that are difficult to do, or tolerate difficult things." Parents and children are a link of harmony in the soul of the family, so parents have a source of boundless sympathy for the growth and creation of their children. Even though they have to endure hardships, sufferings, uncleanness or contempt, while in childhood as well as in adulthood, parents can only pour all into their children a genuine love and a the effort to take care and build up, if the parents know how to do right with their obligations. To be worthy of that duty,The Ahamma Sutra has taught: "Parents must know five things that are close to their children: a/ They must restrain their children from doing evil. Before being formed, people are just a common combination of good. and evil. Since it is the common of "good" and "evil" when it grows up, of course it will correspond to the world scene and it will grow according to that correspondence in the good or bad scene. Every parent must know how to recognize it. Knowing clearly the actions of their children, Evil deeds, parents must strictly prohibit, not allow it to arise and must try to eliminate it when it has arisen so as not to damage the human body, not to involve themselves In other words, parents must control what disrupts, degrades or destroys human life and society caused by their children.b / Need to teach children to know the good "Good is that which increases or sustains the life of man and society. Good is all that conforms to the basic tendency of nature, of the structure of man and society. Good is that which conforms to the law of life". That is, what is appropriate, preserving real life, benefiting oneself and others above the true truth. It is a true truth, of course, it is a guideline to guide people to reach the place of truth, goodness and beauty. As a parent, you never want to let your child stray from that motto, but must try to mold the child according to its framework in learning and practice. The five commandments, ten good things or behavior etc. are all places that parents need to teach their children. c/ You must love your children very dearly.Love is common in human life. But love also has a right and a wrong side. Loving like a guy So-Kang loves her Thuy Kieu, like the girl fanning the grave and beating the fire in the story of Trang Chu ... is not true love. That love must be like Manh Mother loves her children, and Trinh Kiem loves her mother is true love, even though that love is only a means. Then here, the love of parents for their children must be loved in sharing sweetness, love in cold, hunger, hunger, fullness, love in sickness, disability, love in survival, and infirmity. ... That is to say, no minute, no situation where parents forget their children are parents who know how to fulfill their obligations. d/ So for the sake of children, find a worthy marriage. Survival is a natural tradition of human beings.Children when they reach the age of youth, of course, must demand from their parents about the establishment of a family, except for those who want to leave it. In that case, parents can't just leave it to their young lives. Parents have to go out of their way to examine their children's psychology, learn about the circumstances and personalities of boys and girls who can be worthy of a match and bring them lasting happiness. And after the parties have agreed to the first with true understanding, not temptation, blindness, oppression, the new parents, depending on the circumstances and customs, establish the marriage. dd/ Should provide for the necessities from time to time. While the child is still a child or when the circumstances and strength of the parents can still provide it, the parents should not regret the children's food, clothing, and medicine. enamel, paper, pen, supplies, spending. That is, anything, anything that gives life,understanding of children, parents need to give them alms so that they have the conditions to grow up and move forward. Thus, not only the parents have the merit of procreation, they must also have the successful work for their children. In the work, it is not easy, but it takes a lot of effort and persistence, a lot of sincerity, a lot of determination, a lot of wise judgment, and a lot of energy to bring peace and fearlessness. about children. But only then, is worthy to be the parents of children. 2.- CHILDREN'S OBLIGATIONS TO PARENTS "The supreme good is nothing more than filial piety. The worst evil is nothing more than filial piety" Sutra of Patience, Gratitude for nurturing, Humans have bodies, of course they must have parents. Having parents, of course, children must know how to repay their parents' gratitude. Nowadays, there are people who consider themselves civilized, so they self-criticize:Parents do not have any grace for their children just because they want to satisfy the demands of a little sex but unfortunately give birth to children, now raising and suffering for their children is right! "It is true that once born as a human, few people do not have sex so they get married, have children, become human. But once a parent gives birth, there is not a single parent who doesn't accept it. give birth to their children and gladly suffer for their children. Parents who die for their children are many, children who die for their parents are rare! To prove that virtue, let's read the following scriptures, respectfully bow before the image of two tall benefactors of those who know the honor of being children: "Parents to children of high and deep virtue: grace produces,graciously give breast-feeding, grace to bathe, raise and mature, grace to provide necessary food, grace to teach how to live in life. Parents always want their children to be happy. Never neglect to miss you, love you, that love is like a shadow in the picture '. The Sutra of Non-Thai, thanks to the new father, is comparable! The deep sea is this kind mother! Even in one life we stay, Talking about the other is hard to stop pestering! The Heart Sutra and this is the gratitude of a gentle mother when giving birth: A gentle mother when she conceives a child. She is always carrying a hard labor in her body, There are five sexes in the world, Food and drink are kept at any time, Day and night, they keep watch. pity, sympathy... walking, standing, sitting, withering. At the full month of childbirth, Like a sword cutting through the guts and livers, Confused about life, Pain all over the body, pain all over the body, Or forest products,by myself? Family and friends belong to the division of grief. Because the mother suffered! Worry about the need to compare costs! A healthy body doesn't cost anything, Like a person who gets rich, there's nothing more fun! Seeing your child's extraordinary face, Looking at you... lovingly remembering, remembering and lovingly leaving. Say good mother love life! Cut off in front of the chest without rest, gentle mother. The milky nectar flows immediately. Timely provision of care, no need to worry. Words of immense depth and breadth! Cong high chrysanthemum wisdom to discuss the place! "The Heart Sutra with that virtue is indescribable. But one thing is how do we repay that grace, if we stand in the position of being a filial son? said: "Being a son to honor his parents has five things: a/ To make offerings to his parents, not to be deprived of All necessities of food, clothing, medicine,Items or expenses must be adequate. b/ What must be done before we want to do all the work about living, career, socializing... We should make it clear to our parents. One is to keep proper etiquette. Second, we will be taught by our parents about experiences that we may not have thought of. c / What parents do , obey not contrary All the work done according to the wishes of the parents or wanted to be done by the parents' orders we should not have objectionable words, even though in the That decision is sometimes wrong, but we must skillfully use means to correct it without displeasing our parents. d / Parents teach what must not be disobeyed. Parents who love their children teach their children good things, we must be very obedient and should not yield to curiosity,frivolous or because of his position that neglect. dd/ Not to prevent parents from doing righteous work. The things that build up the family, glorify the country, give up evil deeds, do good deeds, and help those who are in need in spirit as well as materially. .. is what should be done and should be done, we should not because of our prejudice or greediness that prevents our parents. The Hieu Tu Sutra also says: "As a son, make offerings to his parents, nourish him with orange juice with hundreds of scents, entertain Zen music, adorn his body with colorful clothes, carry his parents on his shoulders and carry them around the four pools. not yet called "Hieu". Parents who are ignorant, do not know how to respect the Three Jewels, brutally rob, tell lies, parents who are contrary to the right religion, are crazy in love, so their children have to do their best to stop them. parents are righteous, keep the five commandments, do the ten good deeds,Live a clean life: No stealing, no lying, no drinking, no gambling. Only then will parents live in peace, at the end of their lives, free from all afflictions, be born in happy realms, and listen to the Buddha's teachings. Only then is it called "filial". We realize that we were born, lived in human life, all thanks to the thanks of our parents for birth and upbringing. That gratitude can only be temporarily compared to high mountains and wide pools. We as children must always think about and find a way to repay them spiritually and materially, in life as well as in death, in order to bring practical happiness and liberation to our parents. "Worshiping Heaven, Earth, demons and gods is not equal to being filial to your parents. Because parents are gods, they are higher than all gods". The Fourteen Chapters Sutra. 3.- OBLIGATIONS OF A husband towards his wife"When you see your husband, you know your wife" The Sutra is important in a husband's obligations. The husband is the master in the family, the husband is a shining example that illuminates all the heartaches, the necessary virtues and the the industrious work of the wife to bring about friendliness, kindness, and joy in the family.The husband must always show love, justice, decency, and hard work in order to establish a family. , in order to bring about the wife's respect and diligence. The influence of the husband on his wife, on family affairs is not less important. : " A husband must do five things for his wife : a / To treat each other with ceremony , Whether in the tender love of husband and wife , or when that love has brought a result to be passed on to the future hybrid,husband and wife always treat each other politely, do not disturb their wives when they behave, when eating and waiting and do not commit adultery with others... Psychologists as well as practical have proved it. That is: "A tender love in politeness, certainly a harmonious, happy and eternal family. A love that is only directed at sexual satisfaction in an obvious way in a natural way, of course, cannot avoid it. not half the way to break the burden, bring a bitter lesson in the situation ". We can say that: "Many broken marriages are a reflection of the lack of courtesy, the lack of true love, which the wife perceives in her husband". b/ Always keep the majesty Majestic is a necessary virtue of a husband. Only with dignity can one maintain discipline in the family.Only majesty brings respect and dispels suspicions of the wife. That is, thanks to the majesty, it brings a warm, regular and honest family to each other but, it must be a majesty in peace, not the majesty in martial arts that it is revealed in husband. c/ Food and clothing provided to his wife at any time. Who doesn't need health. If you want to be healthy, you must have enough food, medicine, and clothes to ensure it. The wife, too, must eat and drink nutritiously in order to bear the burden of housework, to be strong enough while procreating, and to be strong enough while raising children. Garment and spending must also be adequate, so that the body will be less sick, from the regrets of the predestined fate, from the worry and depression, and from inheriting psychological and physiological diseases for children.So as a husband can not forget this issue. d/ According to one's wealth, poverty, luxury, and cowardice, buy jewelry for his wife. Women are a faction that leans towards jewelry. The problem of jewelry is the most important issue, more than education and food. Because according to the woman's psychology, new jewelry has value, emerging roles on the stage of life, new provide desired satisfaction. Understanding that mentality, a husband should, depending on the situation, depending on the weather, prepare his wife to be dignified so that the wife does not have excess tears, sighs in front of these and that person, "losing to you". less than sister". dd/ Entrusting household chores to wife The husband is a person who already has active energy. Working for yourself for home, for the country, for society in all aspects.Being an active person, of course, that activity takes a lot of time, so it can't allow the husband to take care of all the household chores if he is an active person. And of course, there is a reasonable division between this society. The wife's job in the family must be done on behalf of the husband. But the husband must also accept the same reason and honestly entrust it to the wife, so that she should not be conservative in everything or scrutinize and doubt so that the family is broken up by the North and the South. In a family, the husband must be the one who stands in the position of the leader, has a judgmental mind, is rich in emotions, understands psychology, has virtue, is tolerant, knows how to distribute and knows how to fulfill his obligations. the family will be perfect, a true happiness will be reciprocated by an understanding and respectful wife.A virtuous wife is the mirror image of a talented, generous husband. 4.- A WOMAN'S OBLIGATIONS TO THE HUMAN "Make offerings to parents, serve the husband, take care of children, also called pure conduct". Sutra Tinh Hanh Phap Mon Influencing the value of the wife The wife is the head of the family home. The wife is the one who brings a source of benevolence and charity to instilled in the hearts and bodies of the children, is a drop of nectar to comfort her husband's worries, is an example of courage for her husband to achieve. glory in the field of life. The wife's influence and value on the family and society is not so low as many people think, if the wife understands and performs her duties properly.In order to understand and fulfill that duty, a wife should respectfully listen to the Buddha's teachings in the Ahamma Sutra: "A wife should take five things and respect her husband: a/ Should get up before all work In life, there is neither diligence nor achievement.A housewife in the family, replacing her husband who takes care of all the work, cannot calmly lie down to sleep very late, has to get up early to arrange work in the family. today, directing everyone to do and take care of their children. Light does not wait. Light is only for wives who want work to be fruitful, want to have a full family and want to be worthy of being a worthy wife. Therefore, it is natural for the wife to wake up before her husband every morning, not unfair, compared to the husband who is still asleep b/ Should sleep later Also,All day-to-day work is chaotic, evening must be properly arranged, houses must be closed carefully, children must be able to sleep in place, not less time, not less energy, although Not to mention the plan to carry out the work tomorrow due to the wife's expectation, so the wife also had to go to bed later and also consider it an obligation that cannot be refused, if the wife is worthy. c/ Words must be mild. There is a saying "Speech does not cost money to buy, choose words to say to please each other". Indeed, the wife must choose her words to speak, not because of her words, the wife becomes the number one enemy of the husband as reported by the story books and daily newspapers. The wife has always positioned herself as a diplomat using mild, gentle, gentle, yet cordial and polite words. The wife never uses vulgar language,obscene, disrespectful, stingy towards the husband or towards the children in the house. d/ Be respectful The wife needs to be godly and at peace with her husband. When a husband comes home, he should be greeted warmly, when eating and drinking should be attentive, when sick, medicine should be taken care of, when needed, should be provided in full, should not look at each other with a cold face , should not own their own pockets or hold an economic monopoly and should not have sex with others. What to do should be discussed and also agreed upon by the husband. What is done should be approved for the husband to know. That is, most of all, the wife recognizes herself as the representative of the husband and is the law of legitimate harmony on a constructive basis. dd/ Should accept the husband's will. Any job that gets results, a family that is peaceful is all the effort of understanding, effort,condescend. It is not uncommon for a husband to be harsh with his wife, but a wife who knows how to patiently laugh and laugh without anger, of course, those heavy words will be calm and peaceful. The husband is not a person without desires, but the wife should also comply with that desire and will find a way to correct it, if it is unreasonable. The family-building work is planned by the husband's plan, and the wife should obey it. When dealing with politeness, the wife should understand to please her husband to bring honor to the family. The whole issue is presented with so much goodness and happiness in the family that the starting point is where the wife deserves it. As a wife who has enough talent to control the internal affairs machine, all the virtues of diligence, determination, gentleness, wisdom, submission, courtesy,Faithfulness and means will of course create that family, will firmly enjoy long-term happiness and will assume that a person knows how to fulfill a wife's obligations to her beloved husband and good mother. for children. "A beautiful heart that everyone respects is the true beauty" Kinh Ngoc Gia Nu. 5.- TEACHERS' OBLIGATIONS TO STUDENTS " Teachers and students should take the religion of mutual sympathy and respect each other, regard others as themselves ..." Sutra of the Buddha Cat Hung . Teacher's position According to the assignment of society, teachers are in a rather important position. With the obligation of the Teacher to bring his vocation to provide for the wishes of the latter in order to develop their physical, intellectual and spiritual necessities. Thus they will respond to the needs of tomorrow's society and secure their meaning of life. Therefore,it requires a lot of sacrifice from the teacher, if it is true to the obligation as in the Aham School said: a/ Should follow the Dharma to teach them Anything beautiful or ugly, useful or useless, will escape conceived in the first frame created by the craftsman's hand. The student too, after taking on the burden of whether his family, country, or society is successful or not, useful or useless are all faithful reflections of their initial training. A teacher is a person who has a sacred duty on behalf of his parents to teach them. Therefore, teachers should follow the call of conscience, bring their experience to reflect on their psychology and use the means of instruction according to their level in an intimate, fun but not contrary to the right and programmatic manner.b / Should teach them the unknown This is the time to start learning so that they will walk on a dangerous and dense road of life. Teachers must bring their knowledge of physical education, intelligence and morality to teach them: What is the way to train the body to expand muscles, eat in moderation, keep a cool house, and collect nutrients? Where is the cultivation of wisdom, understanding of physics, chemistry, mathematics, understanding the causes of the human universe... Where is the understanding of how to treat oneself, family, and country , society... are things they don't know yet, need to let them know. c/ Should explain to them what they have heard Learning is not only within the scope of the program, but also learning all the things around you that are related to you, whether visible or invisible. Learning is not just learning, you have to know how to distinguish, think and practice.But it is not necessarily correct, there needs to be a place to decide, and that decision place is the Teacher. Teachers need to bring their learned, heard or questionable places, explain to them meticulously in terms of concretization, so that they can clearly understand in theory as well as in practice! d/ Should show them how to choose good friends. Canh Book says: "In life, I am a parent, when I become a body, I am a teacher". You are the people who help them become people, indirectly, the teachers teach them. Since you are always close to them, on equal terms with them can frankly tell them or advise them good and bad. But they must be good friends, friends who know how to prevent each other from doing wrong, have love for each other, only benefit each other and work together. On the contrary, those of you who are only afraid, only crouched on the surface but not in reality,only clever words but secretly murder, only know how to flatter, pamper for profit and only entice to do bad things. Therefore, the matter of assigning friends is very necessary for students, but they are certainly not smart enough to choose, of course the teacher has the obligation to teach them frankly, but skillfully, do not upset the students. other. d/ Should bring all the things that I know to teach them. Teachers should say to themselves: "I was born to do social work, I don't let my conscience bother me, I bring all my talents to serve my duty, We all agreed with Mr. F. Gregh's thought: "Tomorrow, I'm going to go, people will say: it's nothing, it's already alive", to serve our purpose while carrying out the case. If you can say that, of course, the lack of devotion and greed will dissipate, and will bring the common interests of teachers and students.Not only is he not the one who understands the obligations and is no longer the deep gratitude of teachers and students. For the school is a place of training people, of course in which it has the potential to overwhelm the meaning of people and society. That victory requires nothing but understanding, friendliness, shrewdness and devotion from the teacher. and only then will it give real value to the obligation as a person in the field of education. 6.- STUDENT OBLIGATIONS TO THE TEACHER "Every student in the world should respect the teacher's virtue, celebrate his good deeds and should not have malice towards him". The Sutra of Buddha Cat Hung Grateful and grateful. People are born, no one can claim to be an uneducated person who understands. Had to learn, of course, to follow the instructions and spent a lot of energy and energy of others.That person we often call a teacher. With the great sacrifice of the teacher, the student cannot be forgotten, must always respect and try to practice the five commandments in the Aham School that have been specified in order to repay that favor if he is a student. Students understand their obligations: a/ Should provide for Teacher How many dependent relationships are needed in order to live. Teachers too, standing in the educational position is a noble position, but they have to endure many difficulties and struggles in the area of thinking, speaking, campaigning and leading. That hard work, if it is not provided by students or the Government, to improve his body and mind will of course bring him a pessimistic result, which is weakness, retirement or not enough. strength to teach students for tons to come. Therefore, the teacher's use needs to be resolved properly.b/ So pay respects and make offerings to the Master Knowing that it's not enough to provide for the Master, you have to know how to pay respects. That is, the student must always have a polite and respectful attitude towards the Master. In school as well as in other places, from posture, words, deeds or when offering something, the student must prove to be a virtuous person with the expression "grateful and grateful to the Master" without any pride. a little bit of discrimination, arrogance about his ability, position or wealth. c/ Should respect and admire the teacher. Learned the teacher must respect the teacher. With the teacher's value, the teacher's status, the teacher's position, the student should not lose it under any circumstances. The student only accepts wherever the teacher is a bright torch that lights the way for us to go in the dark, we should not distinguish or cling to people but lose the light.But it is also possible to use the light to rekindle the light of the torchbearer by being honest and polite. That is, the student knows to bring his duty towards the teacher, respects the teacher, even though sometimes the teacher inadvertently makes mistakes. d/ Should obey the teacher While studying or going out of the class, if the teacher teaches anything or anything, the student should be very obedient, respectful and try to practice. The teacher reprimanded should not show anger, anger and argument, so that the atmosphere of peace is firmly established in the teacher and disciple's religion. dd/ You should remember what the teacher said to know and know how to do it, so all the words and lessons taught by the teacher to the student must be memorized carefully in order to apply them to their own benefit and the benefit of others. , whether while studying or away from the Master. Therefore, the student should accept the sentence: "Peaceful, loyal,not hate but be sincere" is the Buddha's words in the Ananda Sutra of the Buddha Cat Hung to serve as a motto for our lives for the teacher's gratitude. " ... Brothers, inside and out of the family, should love each other, not hate each other. Inheritance or not should all be shared. Words and expressions are often gentle and should not contradict each other." The Infinite Life Sutra Family Spirit Human life is a constant transmission in the human origin. The same origin is the same bloodline. He circulates far and near in the family system of paternal and maternal grandparents, so they can be collectively referred to as "clan." A clan is an organization in which members include brothers, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, and aunts. etc.. the same fetus born by the life force of parents, ancestors, absorbed together according to thought,habits of the family and are jointly influenced by values and prestige. Having a common organization, of course, there must be any rules about treating each other properly? That rule has been clearly presented in the Six-Orientation Sutra: intimacy with each other. We must always respect and love each other in the family order. Must help each other In the family, if anyone is in need, we have to support each other, the rich should share with each other, have something good, something good to share with each other. With that, the new clan's soul will last forever, the new friendship will become closer, the new family style will be promoted in society, the new activities will prevail and thus the national foundation will increase. lasting. "One never sets a goal to go beyond it."People with the family spirit should close themselves in that spirit to bring eternal peace and harmony to themselves and to all. 8.- FRIENDSHIP OBLIGATIONS TO ONE "If you have a mind without a good friend, you will often fall in love. If you are not enlightened, you need a good friend". Tong Kinh Luc Needs a friend In life, it is necessary to have friends, to have friends to be a barricade to prevent everything that can break in and destroy our pure hearts and pure bodies. With you, to bring the places you have not heard, do not understand, do not know for yourself in a clear and experimental way. But, you also have two types: close friends and hostile friends: A/ Enemy friends: Those who are enemies to me that I mistakenly consider as close friends. She has 4 grades: First class lieutenant: Those who give first and then turn back, give less, expect much in return, because they are afraid to give or be friendly.or for the sake of making a body also. Class of fine language: People, whether good or bad, listen to them to please themselves but, when there is trouble, they immediately quit. When they see good people coming to them, they covertly stop them, and when they see that they have a dangerous job, they find them again. further harm. Honorable class: Those who are considered polite and obedient but often lie before they have a job, after having a job, while having a job and having a slight fault, they immediately show their face. Evil friends: People who only make friends when they drink, when they gamble, when they play lewdly and when they dance and sing. B/ Close friends: True, dear friends help me with many good things. This friend also has 4 classes: a/ Rank only phi: Those who see someone doing evil will forbid them, tell them what's right, and show them the way to a place of eternal happiness. b/ Class of words:Those who see someone who has benefit are happy, when they see someone who is guilty, they are worried, praising people's goodness and preventing others' bad-mouthing. c/ The class of profiteers: Those who know how to keep others from being debauched and harmful, help others from fear, and in secret often admonish each other. d/ Colleague class: Those who do not spare their lives and money for their colleagues, actively support each other in times of fear and for their colleagues, but in secret often admonish each other. An example... Before embarking on the task of choosing one of the two types of friends above, the Buddha's Life Sutra gave us a specific example: "One day Shakyamuni Buddha and Mr. The city of Kapila came to a fish store and he said to Nanda, "Go to this line and ask for some fish, put it in a leaf,Hold it for a while and then throw it on the ground to see if your hands smell like anything? " Mr. Nanda immediately followed the Buddha's teachings and said: "Yes, it smells bad and unclean." The Buddha said: "Indeed, if you are close to the evil knowledge and only associate with them for a short time in a row. infected with evil karma, spreading bad news far away." At that time, the World-Honored One said to Nanda: "Please hold a bag of incense from this shop for a short time and then put it down to see if your hand has any smell? "Mr. Nanda immediately followed the Buddha's teachings and said, "Yes, there is only a wonderful and wonderful fragrance that is unpredictable." The Buddha said, "Indeed, if you are close to good knowledge, often practice according to their virtues, you will become virtuous. big ". Thus, we have seen the necessity, benefit or harm of close friends and enemies. With the same mind,we should definitely choose to get close friends. Because being close to a close friend, being near a close friend as well as being near a lamp is bright, like getting a treasure will bring glory and happiness. So we should use the behavior of close friends to each other, if we need a friend. "Those who have the most noble feelings live the longest." Mr. Bailey's words. 9.- OBLIGATIONS OF OWNER AND SERVER TO ONE "What you don't like to do, don't blame people". In life, everyone has a job to help each other The noun master and servant is a noun that is coined to refer to a person who is active and passive on work, in order to bring to live together for society rather than as a noun of domination or slavery. Since everyone is a part of society, they must conform to the proper distribution of society,if true to the true meaning of equality of Buddhism. In that true sense, there is no class division, where is the luxury, the lowly, the rich, the poor, where is the happiness and misery that can only be received from oneself, the master, the servant, an obligation to do. and be worthy of that obligation. The Thien Sinh Sutra says: "Masters must know their obligations towards servants". a/ So depending on their resources, they put them into work. Some people are smart, some are stupid, some are healthy, some are weak, so employers need to measure their strength, arrange jobs for them to avoid damage. damage their rights because of their slowness, clumsiness and also do not weaken their body, their mental weakness b/ Should have enough food and food for them Workers with food problems and salary is an important issue. They bring food to serve society,They just want society to return them an affordable price for food, clothing, fair and equitable wages, and owners need to satisfy their needs. c/ Should take care of them when they are sick Who is healthy but not weak. Weak and healthy are common laws, the care must be the same. As the owner, at this time, I need to take care of my medicines, rice porridge... as well as when I'm sick. d/ Should give them rest. Owner needs to know how to allocate time appropriately. That is, in a day and night, according to international law, they should only work for eight hours, in addition, they should be allowed to sleep with other rest days. If they have a break, their bodies will be stronger, they will learn more, they will have many initiatives to help their owners' work and know how to treat their owners differently. Immediate benefits that few people see! d/ Should praise their merits"A dong of wages is not equal to a coin of bonus " In life, there are not many people who do not have pride and curiosity. They see that their efforts are known by their owners, but they are happier than they are, of course they will try harder. It is an obligation that the master has performed, in return for that duty the servant has five things to do: a/ Should be polite to the owner Politeness is a moral necessity that no other facility does not use it, even though the form is different. Respect for the owner for dignity b/ Should work carefully When the owner has put himself in the work that must be done until the end, one should not hide from laziness, inattentiveness to waste time.c/ Should work in order Everything we do should be orderly. The first thing to do first, the next thing to do later. And, while doing or stopping about a job, materials or documents should be stored so that order should not be cluttered. d/ Should be honest All possessions or things of their master are carefully guarded and should not be greedy, steal something, if not the owner for himself. d/ Should praise the owner's reputation In any case, we should sincerely respect and appreciate the owner's good qualities. Only then will the pure life of both parties be valid, true happiness will be felt, intimacy will be strengthened, economic resources will be abundant, and peace will be guaranteed for a long time. . "The secret of success is knowing how to put others in the shoes."10.- CIVIAL OBLIGATIONS TO THE COUNTRY " Love your Fatherland, because it is your surname in the midst of ten thousand nations, your glory, your signature! ". J.Mazzini Nationality A nation is an organization made up of many elements of the people, who share the same voice, are influenced by the same customs, and have a certain history and territory. Due to the combination, of course, its renaissance is not without much demand in civic duty. The citizen's duty is a noble and sacred duty for the loss, but also for the country, for the people's happiness and suffering, so the citizen must be wholeheartedly for the country and for the people. Let's take a look at the Bodhisattva Diem Tu Sutra teaching: "As kings and mandarins, civil servants must love the people and teach them. As the people, they must obey and respect them".A OFFICIAL OFFICER A civil servant is also a citizen, honored or nominated by the people to represent the people, take charge of the nation's destiny, regain or maintain independence, freedom and happiness for the nation. Having acted on behalf of the people, of course, you cannot abandon the people, make fools of the people, harm the people, or stay away from the people. On the contrary, we must need the people, teach the people, love the people, and be close to the people. a/ Being close to the people Public servants must always walk closely with the people, work with the people, and learn together in daily life the need for the people's spiritual and material life. The civil servant wants to show himself as a friend of the people, so according to Lao Tzu's words: "A gentleman who wants to show virtue to the world always lowers himself". b/ Know how to love the people Having understood the concept of the people, of course, civil servants must know how to love the people. Loving the people means bringing security and order, adequate medicine,abundant economy, rich materials and a progressive civilization for the people. c/ Knowing how to teach the people In order to satisfy the people's aspirations, civil servants must use all their talents to teach the people in all aspects: politics, diplomacy, administration, military, culture, technology, etc. industry, agriculture, commerce, etc.. in a friendly and equal way, that is, teaching but without imagining anything as teaching. d/ Know the need for the people Teaching the people how to be a citizen to serve in the national work means needing the people. Having needed the people, of course, everything related to the national spirit, whether domestic or foreign, must be approved by the people. Having consulted the people means that the civil servant has accepted and respected the citizen's complete freedom, or at least the right to freedom as the writer Milton writes:Above all other freedoms, please give me the freedom to speak and discuss naturally according to my conscience. There are many words about the two words "for the people". The public servant must make the people cherish, love the people, love the people, and obey the people. The public servant should try to do the same as Mencius advised: "Respects: I love my father and mother and his parents, I love my children and my children." And don't let Mr. Shakespeare and the people curse and cry out, "O mortal man, so proud of the world, they are so proud. With a little bit of authority on themselves, they immediately performed in front of the gods such ridiculous comedies that even the gods who saw them were shocked! "/B/ THE PEOPLE The people have inherited a privilege of liberty,To be happy under the "for the people" government, the people must be very respectful and humble to the public servants and must thoroughly respect and obey the constitution and the constitution established by the people. Having ceded respect and obeyed means that the people must practice properly with their obligations. a/ Do not do illegal things All things that are said, thought, or done that are contrary to conscience, morals, or law are not violated by the people. Such as not killing people for possessions, not raping, looting, not fighting, suing, etc. b/ Close solidarity All people are of one mind, understand each other, love each other, hold tight. hand in hand to work together to protect the fatherland, to build the nation, to support the government to implement the constitution without being blinded by self-interest. "You must unite strongly,if you don't, you will be annihilated". their own resources and material resources when all such work has been guaranteed and recognized by the constitution for its authenticity d/ To be fully dedicated to any work that is beneficial to the nation or the community. them, the people must put all their talents and energy into that work, without hesitation, evasion and delay in order to waste time or the spirit of the nation. is to give up a day to happiness.” People must take the national business as their own. The prosperity or decline of the country people will be affected by happiness or slavery.Happiness or slavery requires nothing but devotion, solidarity or evasion, division in the people themselves. "Are you free to live or let life draw you in?" Thus the duty of citizens, civil servants and commoners to the country is very important, important for the survival, the glory of the bloodline. system on fixed land. Let us, then, respectfully assume that duty. "Knowing in solidarity, knowing how to live in harmony with each other, and often gather together to discuss national affairs, there is no fear of failure, but it will certainly be prosperous and enriched" 11.- HUMAN OBLIGATION FOR SOCIAL "He who does not care about others will face many difficulties and is also the most harmful to society".Adler Social Society is a combination of many elements related to life. In human survival, being happy or suffering is a reflection of society's prosperity or decline, embodying a person's diligence or laziness, understanding or stupidity. So human obligations to society are not unnecessary. The Khe Sutra says: "I don't need any retribution for the blessing of being reborn in a place of Ultimate Bliss. But I seek the welfare of mankind, I seek to make those who have lost their way back to return. , to light the way for those who live in darkness and error, to make the world free from all afflictions and pains." In order to make life free from all afflictions and sufferings, it is necessary to realize the truth of things, to guide living beings with the truth, as in the Sutras of the World says: "Holding the torch of the Dharma, illuminating the ten directions, breaking the darkness,making everyone can step on the path of the Buddha's light." Reaching the path of the Buddha's light is not far away, but right in the place of conviction, effort, and vows that we know towards, the entire Flower Adornment Sutra. said, "The Bodhisattva has great merit, has a generous heart, and righteous observations, so he does not give up the work of saving birth that the Bodhisattva often for the benefit of all sentient beings diligently cultivates good deeds and has never made mistakes. thoughts of abandoning sentient beings... Using the bodhisattva's great vow armor to dignify and save sentient beings, the bodhisattva always moves forward, not backward..." Based on the above-mentioned values. give us a clear path in the performance of our obligations in society; a/ Must be understanding and dedicated Before a gesture if we do not clearly understand,we shouldn't do and if we do we must assimilate the truth, follow the truth, bring the common good to our individuals and society. We consider ourselves to be an individual in society, we live because of society and society lives off of us, so we must dare to admit that we are Bodhisattvas who sacrifice, dedicated to working for society. Whatever the circumstances, conditions, sacrifices to the extent that these works have a social character, benefit all of us, we all try to practice, not discouraged or delay. b/ To be friendly with each other, the A-Ham Sutra says: "A sage knows how to reconcile those who are divided, to unite those who are of one mind and one mind...". I am the person, the person is me. All that we want is what people want, what we don't want means people don't want it either. We try to think and act like sages,we are always intimate, love each other, live together in the six harmonious conditions of the Buddha: _ Body harmony: peaceful coexistence, _ Speech harmony: gentle speech, _ Peaceful mind: sincere joy, _ Peace: help more understanding, _ Precepts of harmony: cultivate together, progress together, _ Harmony: equal interests, c/ Must help each other According to the karma of cause and effect, people have different circumstances and conditions. different: what is smart, stupid, healthy, sick, what is happiness, what is suffering... Therefore we have an obligation to help each other according to our circumstances and abilities, such as helping each other. help with money, medicine, food and clothes, help with books, notebooks, newspapers or teaching, help with words of comfort or sacrifice to save in distress, etc. But that help must come from the bottom of the heart. our sincerity as Dr. Albert Shweitzer said: "A small penny from a needy widow to the poor is more valuable than a millionaire's large gift to the poor, if that small coin is all the widow's estate." d/ Yes teach each other, have loved each other, have helped each other, must teach each other and understand the truth, about the cause of life and human life, we also teach each other how to behave as we , for the family..., know how to find the right direction: _ True understanding: clear and reasonable perception _ Right thinking: thinking that is not contrary to the right, beneficial? _ Right speech: speak words of legitimate benefit _ Righteous action: righteous and beneficial actions and actions _ Right way of life: righteous, honest, and non-violent occupation poor, mean. _ Genuine diligence:diligently doing things that are righteous and beneficial to others. _ Remember to think correctly: this point has two types: "Right mindfulness" and "Right mindfulness". Remembrance is remembering and thinking about the past, contemplation is observing the present scene and arranging and imagining the future. But even thinking about the past, thinking about today and tomorrow, they must all be directed to the right place. _ True concentration: concentration of thought to consider things properly. So, where is the society, where is the division of classes, where is the unequal rights, where is the conflict, competition, misery and suffering, where is the affliction torn apart, but it is the bright torch, enlightening people to move on the right path, liberation is the foundation of lasting, lifelike peace built among human society.We accept our obligation and we strive to pursue it sincerely and respectfully. "Love your ideal, for it is the homeland of the spirit, the land of the soul." 12.- HUMAN RESPONSIBILITIES TO FAITH " ... Beliefs in life are many, but those who understand true beliefs and beliefs are rare!". Faith is a belief based on hope and results in hope We all must have faith in our hearts depending on time and circumstances, but do we know how to train, create, and develop ourselves? it or not. Any job that wants to be successful is not without putting a lot of faith and hope into it. People want to be human is not without trust and hope to become human. Belief and hope are beliefs.Beliefs have results after thinking, experiencing and realizing the truth by ourselves, no matter what doctrine or religion we believe in. Because doctrine or religion is just a finger pointing to the moon, not a finger pointing to the moon. And knowing or not knowing is the child's choice, no one has the right to force it. "Be your own torch and refuge, you should not entrust yourself to any other refuge." What a magical word for the spirit of the two words "belief" of man and man of faith expressed in the Great Nirvana Sutra with a noble freedom. Necessity and relation of religion Noble, man's obligation to religion is not irrelevant, it is related to the same as belief must have in man.Man cannot live a life without trust. Man cannot live a life without hope. To have faith, to have hope, people must know how to judge it, know how to think about it, know how to experience it, know it's true self, bring it back to its light, and make people self-sufficient. true happiness and liberation. If man does not know how to enlighten himself, he is only a prey for all kinds of temptations, enslaving, but digging a hole to bury his intuition. Therefore, with the two words "must know" above, it is the duty of man to believe in a noble and sacred way, if man knows himself to be Buddha, is God, is the master of man. . Belief in Buddhism Same meaning,Belief in Buddhism is just a belief in the Dharma because the Master has tried to find a way to liberate sentient beings. Sentient beings must strive, realize, and become enlightened along that path. Because Buddhism is a technique, a reasonable technique, capable of eliminating suffering, not a religion as the usual definition of a noun. Shakyamuni Buddha said: "My teaching is like a raft that carries everyone across a river, but after crossing the river, people should not hold on to it, because the righteous dharma must be abandoned, let alone illegal". The Diamond Sutra _ " I am only a guide ... I am like a Doctor who considers the disease to be cured, whether it is up to the patient or not is up to the patient, not the Doctor's fault..." Bhikkhus, bhikkhunis, good men, and faithful women who always fulfill their duties,who know how to live according to the orthodox religion, and who know how to follow the right path are worthy to be called those who know how to respect, worship, worship, and make offerings to the Tathagata in a noble manner. My own experience and after confirming it clearly, in accordance with reason, constitutes my own happiness and the happiness of all beings, that is the truth and I try to live according to that truth." Based on the above teachings, we realize that Buddhism cannot be built on formal beliefs, we just take the Buddha's teachings as a benchmark for us to rely on so that we can shape them. And, apart from that teaching, we don't bring any other rituals such as sacrifice, witchcraft, blind horse, meat sticky rice...replaceable _ Buddhism is not built on theocratic beliefs, because the Buddha is not a fairy, a messenger to proclaim an invented truth. He is only the one who explains the things that he himself has enlightened and invites us to practice according to what he has cultivated. We certainly cannot practice if we do not understand the essence of the Buddha's enlightenment and realization. In order to attain enlightenment and attain the Buddha-like path, the first step we must take is to learn to understand the Buddhadharma, to practice observing, to experience the true meaning during meditation, to be practical in our personal lives, when we found the bottom line of morality. And we continue to practice like that until the ultimate goal of the religion. Thus, a person who has beliefs and practices according to true beliefs is a person who knows how to enhance human values, knows how to live a noble life,know how to control themselves and control everything.
