I am honored to meet you on the ideal path. Written in Saigon, early autumn of the Year of the Goat (1955) Thich Tam Chau MAIN BUDDHISM "Every person who has spiritual understanding has the ability to become a Buddha" (1) Normally people often When it comes to the word Buddha, it is an abbreviation of the two words BUDDHA-DA in the French language. which it means is the ENGLISH (Enlightened One), as well as the educated in life, people are often called Scholars. The reason for having the ultimate and universal understanding is called the ENGLISH, because the enlightened person is the person who manifests the supreme personality of humanity - man is the microcosm of the same universe. a relationship with the great universe, taking the whole universe as its own body, is the supreme value of human life and achieving that goal is the ultimate meaning of human life; Therefore, the human world cannot help but search to realize the supreme personality -, mankind reaches the place of supreme enlightenment that is Buddha. The Buddha is the supreme model of mankind, showing us the method of being human, the way to the superhuman status and to full enlightenment. Therefore, believing in Buddha is not a superstition, but it is a complete destruction of delusion, a tendency towards complete enlightenment. Moreover, the Buddha never said: "Only I am the Buddha, everyone should respect and admire me." On the contrary, he often said: "As long as you have spiritual understanding, you have the ability. -to become a Buddha." The Buddha advocates EQUALITY, which is the policy that everyone can become a Buddha, that is, the purpose of Buddhism. - Someone said: "Buddhism is not a religion, not a philosophy". In fact, from a fundamental standpoint, the Buddhadharma is neither a religion nor a philosophy, although it can cover both religion and philosophy, but it transcends all religion and philosophy. The Buddha-Dharma is not like other religions, being a believer cannot be equal to the one who is believed. Therefore, Buddhism is only referred to as the Buddha-dharma, not a religion nor a philosophy. THE PRINCIPLE OF REALISTICITY (ie, the Dharma ear is like that: things and things are like that) “All reality exists, how the shadow of the past is so clear, and how is the truth. completely like that" The Buddhist principle uses a kind of noun to represent it as REALISTICITY. All things and things that exist in the universe can be called "REAL" and the reality of all such existence is called "REAL". He teaches in Buddhist doctrine, REALISTIC is all reality that exists, the shadow of the old days is so clear and the reality is completely like that. For example, a vase is a vase of flowers, it cannot be called anything else. - Under the title REALISTIC-SUPERIOR, why write the sentence: "THE FRAME AS THIS" (things and things like that). - The Buddha was fully enlightened on the matter of the universe. HE brings the whole universe to light in a clear way, that's why the New Testament says: "To see through the true reality of all dharmas" is to see through the appearance from time immemorial. of the whole universe. The old appearance of the whole universe that in the Buddha-dharma is called "THE FRAME AS SMALL"; is to say all the truths that exist in the whole universe from time immemorial to the present. - What is the reason, realism in Buddhism can be said to be derelict? - All theisms in the world are subjective and personal opinions of the participating individuals, not just, impartial and original as the market (in the past and present) of the whole world. The universe; Buddha's realism is the realism of the entire universe from time immemorial to the present, that is, it is neither subjective nor personal, so it is called AUTHORism. -MEANS. Summary, The Buddha temporarily used skillful and mysterious language and writing to speak of the reality from time immemorial to the present, called realism, that is, based on the Buddha's teachings, to Explaining the truth of all realities that exist in the universe, The above has demonstrated the clue, the name of REALISTICism, now please analyze and explain further as follows: 1) REAL ACTION "All things manifest, arise, pass away, emerge, sink, circulate, and transform like flowing water" Existence is what is real, in the present -. As there is the present world, there is the present humanity, there is the present everything... Things are present in front of our eyes, there is no time when it is not in change, circulating, that is, it is not. must be fixed. All things and things in the universe, as big as the world, as small as the micro-ceiling, are in that transformation and circulation, so it's called REAL ACTION. Such as: a person's life, year, month, day of birth, year, month and day of death; things, which hours are new, which hours are broken; The earth's earth, after many years of formation, many years will disintegrate, and even the sun will sometimes form, and sometimes fall, so everything in the world has a certain limit in its formation, destruction, birth, and death. . Therefore, seeing the appearance of such things or things is not yet seeing their true nature, because all things in the universe not only change hourly and minutely. All things appear, arise, pass away, rise, sink, circulate, and change like rushing waters. That line of transformation can be called the line of life. Because, all the facts that exist in the universe, big and small, communicate with each other, before, after, dependent on each other, until the moment of birth and death, they all follow each other. Modern scientific research, That theory, circulation, transformation, not only is not contrary to science, but proves to be a very true theory. Science analyzes things as elements, atoms, electrons... Electrons are hot and cold (negative, positive) and every hour, every minute, there has been a transformation, because there, clearly seeing all things, all things in constant circulation. - Science for Buddhism, although there is a place to prove it, but science is based on the feeling of the five senses; which Buddhism-study is said to be directly-tried - . So seeing the truth of the universe, that is, seeing what is actually present in the universe. Moreover, the life of mankind, from beginningless time (no beginning) is not a year of birth, only to have it later because a human life is just a passage of the stream of life appearing, not is the whole, like a section of a river in a long river. Once live, A single death is nothing but a transformation of the life stream. All things are like that, that is, it changes every hour and every minute, but it goes on forever and ever. Understanding that principle is possible to destroy many delusions. - People often understand that: human life is not damaged, has no meaning, has no value, in addition to eating, boys and girls... in addition, everything is nothing. That is part of the result of fascination, the suicide method of high and mistaken thoughts, for the purpose of life, they only get the satisfaction of food, clothing, and shelter. .. is enough, so they have entrusted all their spirit to the search of life for full enjoyment. Thus one and another competes, causing constant turmoil in the world, the miseries of struggle look the same no matter where, the results lead the world to a very tragic age. So, for the truth that circulates, the transformation of the universe is not clearly understood, is not understood the clue of REAL ACTION, the time of not being an enlightened person. - There are people who consider that: in this world, there is bound to be a master, creator - Creator and master of all things in the world, thus giving rise to the superstition of God. religion, which obscures the enlightened capacity of ancient times, cannot be made manifest. IMPOSSIBLE, UNFINIBLE, round headless, is the inherent truth of things, things. People do not know that principle, only perceive a part of the life-stream, so they call it "creator-host". - Let's ask, what is the creator-host? If it's not an object, it probably doesn't have its own body, but it can create something else by using it. - And, if it were an object, Who created that host-creation? Thus, the “host-creation” theory cannot be established. Therefore, it is necessary to know: all things in the world do not have to use any other thing to create it, it is due to birth and death, one after another, circulating endlessly from time immemorial. If you understand the truth of human life, the world is IMPOSSIBLE, UNLIMITED, born, destroyed, completed, destroyed; It is a ceaseless circulation, a never-ending cycle, a time that can bring the mind magnified to limitless, limitless, magnified mind means no more attachments, is in accord with the truth of the universe. . Reality is really beginningless, endless, human-life, the world is the same, all realize the life-time, beginningless, endless. All past actions are causes, present are effects, all present actions generate future results, cause and effect coincide, continue without end, so the new life-life has immortal value. With these principles, not only should you study Buddhism to know how to become a Buddha, but also to know how to be a person with personality and morality, you should understand it in a clear way. According to the Mahayana doctrine, one must first become a perfect human being, then proceed to the super-human bodhisattva level, and then progress to the super-superhuman being the Buddha. As for the real current problem, the one who aspires to be a complete person is not first without clear understanding; clear understanding of Beginning, Endless, is knowing the behavior of eternal life, eternal succession; Whatever you do or do, have immortal meaning and immortal value. 2) REALITY REALITY “All things, all things are created by many causes and conditions, are not fixed and have no independence” Reality is the reality of the present, Thorough investigation: a person or a house has its individual, in fact that individual is neither fixed nor independent; However, according to the Buddha-Dharma, it is "Destiny-born". Such as: chalk is written by soil, (the soil used to make chalk) water, labor, mold, all conditions combined to form; like a tree trunk is due to seeds, water, earth, sun ... that means the cause must have new conditions. Again, human life is due to the stream of life, adding the harmony of parents and relations to land, water, sunlight, air, etc. More broadly, the success of The world is also caused by cause and effect. - The cause is the four elements (2) seeds (3) the condition is all the karma (4) of living beings - . Therefore, inferring, all things are created by many causes and conditions, not fixed and not independent. As mentioned above, the success of man is due to the gathering of all... in the universe, so man is the social nature and the successful human universe is the universe. - pillar of success. The ancients said, "One word enriches the country, one word depletes the country". Because all human actions are related, bound and influenced by each other. The success of the world, all due to the karma of mankind, is a real truth, not a fantasy. - A place with morality, good fortune, and nature can make a good place, on the contrary, it can only create a bad place. Therefore, man belongs to the social nature, the universal nature, and does not have an actual "I" - Self-nature (the nature of the separate Self). The Great Sage, the Great Sage, promote their power, aim at the relationship of the whole society, and spread to all mankind, the whole world understands that people can move everything; Therefore, all human actions towards society cannot be overlooked. Human behavior and karma not only affect humanity, but also the whole world. (- the world is made by karma-force). Humans have no ego, just social nature, so a word, a human action can affect the whole society, the whole world. Moreover, those who understand that man is devoid of self-nature, need to rely on that principle to work, and have self-righteousness, which means great merit and no self (very righteousness without self-righteousness). separate ego); the great gong of no-self is the true nature of the universe. Ordinary people perceive that there is a self, self-interest, and constant struggle, so that the world and human life do not have a peaceful day. In fact, mankind should only support, should not fight. Ton-Trung-Son preaching on "Three Democracy-Semiticism" also preached there. He said: “Struggling is a disease of society, the right attitude of life must be reciprocal and harmonious.” It is clear that the true nature of reality is the social nature, the universal nature, the great merit of not-self, therefore, working with the mind is naturally peaceful and peaceful. That is not forced to create, but just the truth of all things, all things in the universe from such a long time ago. The principle of Buddhism is that "All conditions are met, the original is not selfless". Understanding the truth of human life in the universe like that, in terms of knowledge, will add wisdom, in terms of behavior, it will be a method to lead people to the place of being human by so satisfactory. 3) REALITY REALITY “The reality of the present is the true reality of life, the universe, all things, ie the realm of indiscriminate-discrimination, the supreme enlightenment of Buddha-Da" QUALITY is to judge, to measure. Energy is knowledge; Using knowledge to measure the universe and all things, the universe of all things is quantifiable. There are two things: 1) Presence. 2) Ratio-rate. The present is intellectual by being directly, such as seeing beauty, hearing the voice, is the present present. The ratio is that you enter the direct-perceiving-perception that you know, like seeing tea, knowing that it is something to drink from thirst. So "Quantity" is the true, correct knowledge without a single mistake. PRESENTATION is direct perception on the truth, VOLUME is reasoning on reasoning. There is also a wrong measure, often called unquantitative, which is not true and correct knowledge. Knowledge based on science is common knowledge, with a lot of mistakes. THE PRESENTATION of the world is the experience of its parts, is not universal and complete, its omission must be due to NUMBER OF additions. VOLUME is universal, but lacking in authenticity. Because of these two shortcomings, oftentimes, mistakes often arise. For example, politics in the past, is suitable for contemporary circumstances; Contemporaries, however, recognized it as a celestial-canon and a grave-cemetery. (the ordinary way of heaven, the right of the earth has never been changed), but it is not suitable for the present. So know that: PRIORITY is far from authenticity, time will produce bad luck and due to mistakes, suffering will arise. True EXISTENCE is direct knowledge, complete and universal, without inference enough to make up for the lack of ordinary knowledge. The standard-recognize-recognizance-general of EXISTENCE, is the true-form of the human-life-universal universe, ie the realm of non-discrimination, the supreme enlightenment of Buddha. Regarding relative knowledge, it is knowledge with distinction, not complete, not universal, but rather within the relative circle, such as the knowledge of black and white. Buddhist studies with the necessity of success must be in "intellectualism", that is, need to bring that relative, incomplete knowledge beyond into relative, incomplete knowledge. that transcends into the complete and universal knowledge - All-intelligence (understanding all things, things). Success in that wisdom is the goal of the Buddha-dharma. Studying Buddhism is the method to attain complete wisdom. Achieving that perfect wisdom, is the body that realizes the true nature of the human universe, can know the development of the fully enlightened nature. That is the reason for studying Buddhism. All human sufferings are caused by the mistake of not understanding the true EXISTENCE that comes from, if one can achieve "UNIMITED KNOWLEDGE" then all delusions must be withdrawn, all suffering will be lost. . However, how to get to that Buddha-knowledge, of course, must be diligent in cultivation. So, the two upper classes (current-quantity, ratio-quantity) can be explained by reasoning, but the third layer (all-knowledge) needs to follow the new practical method. Anyone can do it, it is necessary to have the right method. Successful cultivation, reaching the goal of becoming a Buddha, is the quintessence of Buddhism. 4) EXPERIENCE OF POWER “All things, all things change. The true transforming force is the mind of man and the mind of all sentient beings.” All things, of course, exist in the entire universe, are subject to change. but in that transformation there is a kind of "CAPABILITY" that is PERFORMANCE. Ordinary people call CAPACITY "God", or "Creator-host", but, according to Buddhist studies, those things are wrong. The energy-energy-variable according to the Buddhist scriptures: "Three realms of mind-only, ten thousand dharmas of consciousness" (Three realms (5) only by mind, everything, everything, only by consciousness), time is the force of CONSCIOUS. All things, all things change. The true transforming force is the mind of man and the mind of sentient beings. Everyone has a mind, so everyone has the ability to transform in self-esteem. Everyone is free and self-controlled, but just being selfish with respect to the truth of the universe has awareness. equivalent, determined, trying to do will achieve the goal. The great sages, the great sages, the heroes, the sages, the people who make the great vows to become Buddhas, can all be free and free, but they only know what position they are in. As Materialist historians see only one aspect of materialism, but do not know that it is the cause of the desire for knowledge to progress, discover, and invent. Due to the change of consciousness, the behavior of human beings has changed, and even the method of reproduction has changed since then, to the national psychology, human knowledge, are the causes of the changing world. So there are things, things, are all according to the knowledge-psychology that changes. A little further, astronomers who study the whole universe also confirm that according to the transformation of the psychology of beings, it manifests itself. Consider the equivalent of a practitioner in Buddhism, they can see what cannot be seen, hear what cannot be heard, because their psychological force can be around. the cause and the force of the natural world. In short, the force-energy-turn at the heart. We all have hearts, so we are all free, self-controlled, upward-oriented, reaching the supreme position of becoming a Buddha. Thus, Buddhism is not negative, boring or superstitious, but it is the progress that opens people up to the supreme and perfect position. Using that supreme model to become a Buddha, to lead people to bring about the realization nature and from human life to manifest the truth of the whole universe, is to complete the meaning. of human. II. EQUALITY MOTOR (ie Great Compassion) “Really, completely equal, small from a micro-ceiling, large to a world, near from humanity, far away to All sentient beings are a constant flow of life." According to the principles of Buddhist studies mentioned above, knowing that anyone can become a Buddha, the Buddha was not only believed by people but also modeled. As long as you understand clearly how the Buddha is a mind-setter, how to practice and how to succeed, look at that, then it is possible to become a Buddha. PLAY is the engine. The right motives will definitely give rise to the behavior and the perfect results; wrong motives, mistakes, certain results are not perfect. The motivation to study Buddhism and become a Buddha is EQUALITY, as the Sutra says: "All sentient beings are equal". That is, near from humanity, wide to the universe, all shapes and colors are equal. However, looking at the world, we can't see it like that, because we still distinguish each type, each type is not equal. For example: distinguishing soil and rock species are non-living, plants and trees are organic, animals are emotional and perceptive; Even human beings have thoughts, reason and morality, so it can be said that they are not equal. Given that all sentient beings are equal, where is the end of it? The Buddha once said: "Really, truly, completely equal, small from a dust, large to a world, near from humanity, far to all sentient beings, there is a stream of living beings. - destined to circulate non-stop". So, they are all equal on that point. All sentient beings have a mind, have manifestation, strength, and are capable of attaining the highest level of enlightenment, which is the Buddha-nature. He said on that point, that all are equal. All sentient beings can reach the supreme, supreme, and perfect position, and the Buddha's status is not beyond all human beings. With that thought, it is possible to be compatible with the Democratic-National ethic, because a Democrat has the ability to be a Head of State in the country. Buddha's egalitarianism is the egalitarianism of the entire universe, all sentient beings. The Buddha's motives are based on the locality of generating the mind for the whole universe to be equal, that is, arousing the mind to become a Buddha because all sentient beings in the whole universe do not become a Buddha because of one person or one person. epoch or a region, that is the very common egalitarian aspiration and also the great compassion. The Buddha Mind still has the universal universal wisdom of great light and all the complete moral energy. All sentient beings are full of wisdom, the general like the Tathagata, but, up to now, ignorant and ignorant, they keep holding on to their petty egoism and put a point of falsehood on the line of life. do autistic, to extrovert demand; Everyone is like that, that is, separating, fighting with each other, then all sufferings also follow that invention. In fact, all of them are unjust, completely due to the self-consciousness, self-carrying suffering. Neither is it an external thing given to us, it is not an absolute unchangeable, but with respect to the truth of the universe, the self-nature cannot be enlightened, so all kinds of speculations arise. demand and struggle that give birth to all kinds of suffering. Everyone is a Buddha, that is, they all have the ability to become a Buddha, but they are confused and don't know it, it's really pitiful. Knowing that all sentient beings in the entire universe are pitiful, because they can all become Buddhas, they have to unjustly suffer the sufferings of samsara, so it is necessary to generate great compassion. marbles. Therefore, the self-centered mind cannot become a Buddha, and cannot escape suffering forever, and so will all sentient beings. For a person who has not yet reached the stage of becoming a Buddha, has not yet reached perfection, and is no longer able to seek and transform in the outward direction, but in that transformation and circulation, there is a place where he cannot control himself, so all kinds of suffering arise. Brain. But, the nature of sentient beings is like the water flowing in a ravine, and it stops when it reaches the sea a thousand turns. The instinctive awareness of all sentient beings is also bound to flow through the river into the sea, that is, on the path to Buddhahood. With that path, all sentient beings have the capacity to become Buddhas. Understanding the meaning of "All equality" generates loving-kindness based on that rationality, that is, walking on the path to Buddhahood. “May all sentient beings be free from all suffering, by ultimately attaining all happiness” that is the motivation to become a Buddha. If it is only because of personal selfishness, or because it is impossible to attain Buddhahood, and believes that it is dependent on the Buddha to seek blessings and avoid harm, then one is not a Buddhist. Ordinary people think Buddha and ghost-gods are the same, believing in Buddha can be cured from harm, that kind of motivation in Buddhism is delusion, not faith. Buddhist learners need to generate mind because all sentient beings need to direct their mind on practice; focus on the practice, so it is possible to temporarily use different methods. Like our country, currently under so much oppression and suffering, the people have to do the cause of saving the country, saving the people, which is a legitimate motive. However, to be practical, one must go from being able to practice first, but, on the basis of motivation, it must be completely equal. Because, with a mind based on Great Equalityism, it is possible to do the cause of saving the country, saving humanity. The development of the mind that preaches according to the Buddha Dharma is called: "Generating the Bodhi mind, cultivating the Bodhisattva's conduct". Generating verbs on Buddha-nature: for the sake of society-nature and the-universe-nature, the mind is generated, which is naturally good, and there is no evil, which is the motivation of such Buddhist learners. The world's people for Buddhist studies are often mistaken for self-interest, self-interest, Those who read books in the past also thought that they would study Buddhism, so that after death they would be at peace. In fact, the individual meaning of liberation is still present in the Hinayana part, but it is not the basis of the Buddha-Dharma. The basis of the Buddha-Dharma, is to generate a mind for all sentient beings, which means "boundless sentient beings vow to save". The motivation for renunciation, cultivation, and salvation of the Buddha Shakyamuni, due to his observation of the natural world. Although the natural world is born continuously, the species is numerous, but, heaven and earth are inhumane, considering all things to be scum, in order to tear each other apart, kill each other, and want to survive. Surviving, wanting to be at peace can't be so peaceful without seeing heaven and earth ask what? All living beings compete with each other, kill each other to live for a day, knowing that it is too cruel, it is very pitiful; therefore what method did he seek, To eliminate all sorrow and suffering for sentient beings is the mind of great compassion. Just as the "people-life-ism" motive of TON-ZUNG-SON, also comes from the thought: wanting for mankind to be free from suffering, to have peace and happiness, that is also the origin in a point of the bodhisattva mind. The Great Compassionate Mind of the Buddha, for all sentient beings, however, in order to escape the tragic lives of sentient beings, one needs to first realize the truth of the human universe. fully capable of saving sentient beings. Buddha Shakyamuni, when he was a teenager, once went to observe a village, he saw a farmer plowing the ground, worms crawled out from the ground, birds followed him and pecked him, lamenting: birth -The cruel activity of the natural world is pitiful, sad in heart, from which he set his mind to investigate the truth of the universe, how human life is, How to get rid of suffering, we need to ask for the great path of unsurpassed enlightenment. So generating the mind to become a Buddha is not a negative, but a result of a peaceful and happy life, that is, Great Nirvana. The motivation of Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha was that he was a Buddha who attained unsurpassed enlightenment, so after he became a Buddha, he did not stay in one place, always preaching the Dharma to save people. that he arose for the sake of all sentient beings, not as "self-seeking and self-seeking", nor as "impossible to do without reaching the goal", but as a practical satisfactory measure to proceed to reality. presently. Ordinary people say that the Buddha-Dharma is: "Inhuman, boring, and immoral" are all wrong comments. The life-stream is not self-enlightened, so there is an insecurity state; may the life of the human world be completely equal, step forward again to pray for all sentient beings to be equal and peaceful, that is, the motivation to become a Buddha. So the Buddha-Dharma is not a non-human life but a human-born development; not specialize in the development of material-life; nor do they specialize in spiritual growth, but they are completely fulfilled in their daily lives. That is the original meaning of the Mahayana Buddha-dharma, the motive for studying the Buddha, so it should be clearly distinguished. Studying Buddhism is divided into Hinayana and Mahayana. The motive of the Hinayana is only to seek liberation for selfishness. Ordinary people consider the Hinayana to be the true Buddha-dharma; as for the truth of the Buddha-Dharma, they do not understand it clearly, they consider the Buddha to be a ghost-god, which is all wrong and gives rise to many false comments. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish clearly about the Buddha's motives, which can be summarized into four meanings: a) All have Buddha-nature. b) All can become Buddhas. c) Love yourself, love people. d) Together into righteous enlightenment. That is to say: all sentient beings have the ability to become Buddhas, all have the same true nature and ability to learn Buddhahood, so they can all become Buddhas. Moreover, with the above meanings, the teaching can be divided into the following things: - First of all: believing that the universe and all things have a universal truth. -Second by: believe that in that truth there is a completely supreme, unsurpassed, great-enlightened realization (unsurpassed Bodhi). - Every third: believe that that unsurpassed righteous enlightenment can be attained like Shakyamuni Buddha. - Every Wednesday: believe that everyone can achieve it. The basic beliefs of Buddhism are no exception to these four. However, the current humanity in terms of knowledge, behavior, capacity, material-life, and spiritual-life, is not complete, giving birth to all kinds of desires. even giving birth to all kinds of suffering, even though they say they can become Buddhas, they are actually in a pitiful position. Comparing the sufferings of this world, mankind, and living beings, with the suffering in ourselves, developing compassion for ourselves and for that person is the motivation of the Mahayana Buddhadharma. In the same way, generating great mind, for the sake of all sentient beings, seek unsurpassed enlightenment and true enlightenment to break through delusions and make all actions rational. Only the Buddha-Dharma can understand clearly the origin of all suffering in delusion, uprooted to the root, can be said to be radically revolutionary. But the motivation to become a Buddha, can be said to be reformed into a safe life for the entire universe and all mankind. III. METHODS OF EVOLUTIONARY (Due to being born into a Buddha) “From the position of sentient beings, by means of cultivation, to the position of a Buddha, called evolution” Motivated, without appropriate measures, impossible to do; opposite measure, the result would be contrary to its appropriateness. For example, socialism, its purpose is also to make human life rich and peaceful, but, it does not have an appropriate method, it takes advantage of this method. bias, hatred, to promote the discontent, hatred, and anger of mankind to such an extent that mankind not only cannot achieve security, but also causes society to The present is not peaceful and happy. So know that the ideal is good, but without the equivalent, the result is not good. Studying Buddhism is also the same, starting to explain the principles, finished explaining the motivation, if there are no measures, how can one become a Buddha? For example, a traveler needs a new way to advance, the Buddha-Dharma path, is an evolutionist thing. The evolutionism of the Buddha-Dharma, as opposed to the ordinary evolutionism. According to the Buddha's teachings, the time when all beings in the natural world are cyclical, circulation (samsara) is not evolution, because it advances to a certain limit immediately. retreat again. Like people when they are young children with little experience, when they are teenagers, they seek knowledge and education, when they grow up to work, until their successful careers are completed, gradually approaching old age. weak, resulting in a death. One life that follows in evolution to death is total annihilation. Like the globe, there is transformation in the city, standing, decay, void, which is also cyclic, not evolutionary. Mankind and the world are nothing but the passing away of the old, the birth of the new. The natural phenomenon of the ordinary, Not outside the cycle of birth and death samsara in the Buddha-dharma, when the limit is full, it will retreat and cannot become evolution. Because, current evolutionism is pseudo-evolution, not ultimate evolution. The cyclic circulation in samsara, which is very unfortunate, very pitiful, there must be a method to break the bondage of samsara, in order to achieve progress- become true-to-be. Assuming that, clearly understanding the flow of life, large and small, the relationship and communication with each other, when he enters it, he will see that the true life-life is unlimited, unobstructed, and unobstructed. attachments, but only see progress, not retreat. As mentioned above, nothing is a relationship of the whole universe, one thing is all things, one is in all. That is, in that truth, the individuality of each thing, there is no real self, is the pseudo-form of all the collective relations of the whole universe-created; whose truth is universal throughout the universe. Moreover, life and the world, are not before, not after, without boundaries, without limits; already know that the limitless, that is, seeing the immeasurable of the human-cosmic universe is completely in accord with the truth, bringing thoughts and actions to improve humanity, gradually advancing-- progress into evolution, that is the starting point beyond samsara. Mahayana Buddha-Dharma, by generating the Bodhi mind, cultivating the Bodhisattva's conduct (Bodhisattva is not a great noun of an idol, a being fully enlightened), break the cyclical flow, go up the evolutionary avenue. That is, from the position of sentient beings, using all methods of cultivation to go to the position of the Buddha, it is called evolution. And also a person who cultivates to the position of the Ten Faith (6) of the Bodhisattva, through the Ten Pillars (7), the Ten Hanh(8), the Ten Dedication(9), Four-family-hanh (10) and Ten-ground (11) through all those stages of evolution, until the Buddha's position is complete. So know that: the universe is evolutionary, man is not yet the result of ultimate evolution, he still has super-human status. Humans fulfill the position of the Decalogue, which is equivalent to the Great Saint, the Great Sage in the world; The ten-pillar is the super-human position; The ten-pillar or more is the position of superiority. The Buddha takes the whole universe as his life, the whole universe is infinite, and the Buddha body is also infinite, that is the result of ultimate evolution. The Buddha, however, universally saves all sentient beings, and all sentient beings have the ability to become Buddhas, but only humans are well suited to the study of Buddhism. Humans and below, living beings like animals, because of oppressive suffering, because of the lack of intellectual development, So even if there is a Buddha preaching the Dharma, they cannot understand it. Humanity and above, when they are in a very beautiful and happy world, their mind is captivated by the current world, so they don't think of studying Buddhism, so humanity is a religion with a very righteous mind. In the six paths of Bodhi, only humans are very capable of becoming Buddhas (13). Therefore, the Buddha manifests himself in mankind, speaking of all dharmas, but the teaching of the Buddhadharma in the present is the circulation of the Buddhadharma among mankind. Since Shakyamuni Buddha became Buddha until now, it has been more than 2000 years of circulation in many countries, all of which have been good, but the horror is due to different eras and ethnic differences, so Buddhism -history, there is a predestined way, transforming each other according to locality. Looking at the teachings of the Buddha, the first is to be reasonable. Truth is the great wisdom of the Buddha, which proves the truth of the universe, human life, the second is the need to be timely, ie suitable for the times, the trends and the psychology of the masses; If it is not timely, it is not allowed to pass. The Buddha-Dharma has been circulating for more than a few thousand years, and has been through so many countries. Therefore, although the truth of the Buddha-Dharma is clear from time to time, it does not change, but because it is compatible with the disagreements of the ages, ideologies, and nations, the Dharma-door of the Buddha-Dharma is also subject to change. work according to that disagreement. At this point, I would like to bring a theory about the change of Buddhist history: When Shakyamuni Buddha appeared in India, the country was peaceful, the people were prosperous, the things were abundant, but the people only fear of birth, old age, sickness, and death. Because they fear death to the extreme, they immediately seek a method of individual liberation. Therefore, he wanted to conform to the individualistic emancipation mentality of the contemporary Indian masses, Therefore, he spoke the Hinayana Dharma first. In other words, at that time, many people seek liberation, but they do not know that: the body of human life, the world is beginningless, endless, limitless and without birth and death to solve. escape, so the Buddha-Dharma cannot help but use the method around and around, in order to suit the psychology of the masses seeking liberation at the time, and say the "No-self-liberation" dharma. The individual is considered empty, the "I" does not exist, time and space is nothing but life-and-death circulation? On the self-denial of selflessness, time is not the true meaning of the Buddha-dharma, but it is only to suit the contemporary mass psychology. Therefore, to speak of the method of liberation from the Hinayana, which is circumcised, circumcised, caused by the Hinayana to reach the Mahayana, as in the Mahayana Sutra, the Lotus Sutra says: “The Hinayana is a temporary means, If we don't use such means, then the masses won't have faith and won't be able to enter the Buddha-Dharma." The Buddha, in the past, was born only because of a great cause and condition, so that all sentient beings, receiving the Buddha's instructions, would realize Buddha-knowledge, have joy, and be safe without hindrance. hesitate. At that time, there was a group of people who only transmitted the Hinayana; after four, five hundred years. Mr. Long-Thu new bone-intelligence-Mahayana, but still the form of Hinayana. Until the revival of Brahminism, Buddhism declined, because Mahayana thought and the Indian people were not compatible. Only later did the Mahayana spread from North India to China. The Chinese thought is according to nature, respecting human life, so the Hinayana thought was not suitable, but circulated the Mahayana thought. However, the popular circulation in society is not pure Buddhism, but rather Buddhism on the ground of mixed-theology. The Mahayana thought to Confucian thought they considered that outside of politics and society, they could only retreat to the mountains and forests, unable to do social and non-social causes. can be transformed, so even though the bones of Mahayana thought have not yet become social, nationalized. Near-future Buddhism has a tendency to gradually decline because it is impossible to progress with the change of the nation. At present, when teaching about Buddhism, it is necessary to observe where the national psychological characteristics are, how the world's psychology is, and then grasp these two things and consider them. grasp the vital reason for Buddhism to flourish and circulate in the hearts of people. The current world's human mind focuses on the issue of human life, and wishes that human activities can reach a place of peace and beauty. The tool of application is science, The method of practice is social and organized mass activities. Hinayana Buddhism-dharma; Separatism from the world, denial of life, is not appropriate. The Mahayana sect (15) also has a place that doesn't fit with modern thought. However, it can be suitable with the current world of humanity, it is necessary to use the Mahayana Lineage (16) most of all. The Mahayana School of Buddhism takes humanity as the basis, takes one step forward with the realization of one step, that is, the method of scientificization and organization is gradually perfected. Therefore, to promote the Buddha-Dharma in this era, it is necessary to promote the Mahayana lineage. To be more specific, the first step of Buddhism is to complete the first personality, that is, to be an individual in a good birth-ground. Aspects of material living such as food, clothing, shelter... need to be dealt with equally, while the behavioral aspect on ethics, knowledge, reason also needs to be compatible with humanity in order to make a human being whose personality is compatible with the old gentleman's, only then will it bring a clear understanding of the principles of the universe and human life. applied in practice. That is to first make people perfect, secure in their material life, increase their intellectual life, and perfect their moral life, and then use these things to complete their priority family. America, an honest society, a peaceful nation, a secure world, that is to say, Confucianism says: “Man has reached the place of hope of the wise. , a sage becomes a saint, a successful saint-man among humans. When the personality is complete, perfected, and once again generating the great mind of Supreme Perfect Enlightenment, making the great vow to save sentient beings, that is to say, Confucianism says: "Humans have reached the place of hope. of the Holy City of Heaven", That's why we seek to evolve on human life, rather than live a life of goodness, away from the world. In the same way, the noble evolution from the position of the Bodhisattva of Ten Faiths has been the position of attaining the noble and noble personality that enables the world to receive the teachings, The ancient saint-sage is like that. That is the first practice step of Mahayana Buddhism. Because the preliminary of the Mahayana Buddha-Dharma is directed to all the ethical practices of people in the world. The second step, the “Decade,” also goes through ten stages. Because of the successful completion of the virtues of the Ten Faiths, the new mind combines into the First Phat Center; If you succeed in staying in that mind, that's the true path to evolution. At that time, the stream of life is not like drifting with the wind, nor is it cyclical. Having generated a mind to forever decide to save all sentient beings, they will also become Buddhas, Therefore, it is necessary to study all the worldly knowledge to be able to compare. And also because of that steadfast Bodhi mind, from which there is only evolution, not degeneration. For there are nine more abiding from the First Abiding Mind, each of which follows a stage of the path, each of which is directed towards evolution. The third step is the Decalogue, the practice of the Ten Pillars of Mind goes one step further into the position of the Decalogue. The Ten Pillars of Mind is the result of using the mind on the basis of observation until the practice is complete with respect to the rationality of the truth that has been experienced and matched into one. Having that basic ability, or doing self-sacrifice and profiting things, cultivates the ultimate conduct (the Chinese Paramita translates as scornful) such as: practicing the practice of giving, also called the happiness of joy. -hey, that is, taking all the joys of sentient beings in the world as his joy, giving his life to his possessions, even sacrificing himself to save people, Save lives, save water. That is talent. There is also the Dharma-giving. Dharma giving is to use all the inventions of truth and good methods, to give alms to all people. Finally, eliminating terror and danger for sentient beings, helping people, and saving lives is called fearless. Thus, having passed through the ten stages, the practice of spiritual practice is also from one step forward to one step forward. In Buddhism, it is often said about the "experience-magic knowledge", which is not mystical, all due to the implementation of the above-mentioned steps. The fourth step is the Ten-Directions. Direction is the intention-to-direction. The above has been talked about the Ten Pillars, the Ten Hanh, but the Ten Pillars are still in favor of reason, the Ten Hanh is in favor of things, until the Ten Pillars of things, the new reason is compatible with one relationship (returning towards the reason and returning to the reason). philosophy towards the destination, the principle of non-dual), that is each first of the dedication. Furthermore, turning sentient beings' minds towards the Buddha, Turn the Buddha's mind towards sentient beings, turn all the virtues of selfishness towards living beings, and turn all sentient beings towards selfishness. Self-advocacy, self-revelation, self-revelation, self-forgiveness is one, that is each second of the dedication-reward. Things experienced on the evolutionary path, because people go from Faith, Stay, Hanh, and Direction and go one third, that is, as in the buddhist-study book called the first countless lives (sr. . Starting again Gia Hanh is the concentration of the practice that has been practiced so far to increase the happiness in terms of use. Because Gia Hanh arrived at the beginning of the Joyful Ground at that time, he had reached the point of view of the Way, experienced the true reality of the human-born universe, beginningless, universal, inconceivable, far from all discourse, inconceivable (disagree with the pseudo-ideal on thought). Body-mind-body transformation, superior level-power beyond greatness, is a rarity in the minds of ordinary people. The psychological force gradually increases, the physiology and physics all change, the reality of the world changes according to the psychology, so the idealistic universe and all beings can reach there. doable. . What can be seen in the real-time world, like insects, can only know the realm of insects, because it can only depend on the physiology of nature, not nature. can be created by psychology. The activities of the animal college, the time of the psychological force. Strong psychology affects physiology, physiology affects physics, until successful meditation on the five senses (ie, five senses) changes, naturally all matter also changes- Even when entering a place of fire and water, there is still no heat, no sinking. the result of progressive reform is the luminous wisdom of the mind that pervades the whole universe, that is, in the whole universe there is nothing, where is not transparent at all. Starting from the beginning, the truth of the universe has been fully proven, and wisdom has a place where it can be fulfilled. One by one, one by one has progressed to the tenth Dharma-cloud ground, the time to fully understand all the teachings of the Buddhas in the ten directions, and in a split second in the mind, to reach the ultimate state. -high of the Bodhisattva. Like Guanyin Bodhisattva, very close to the Buddha, that is, the ten-ground perfect is to reach the Buddha. Buddha is neither relative nor alone but inconceivable. Being neither one nor many, neither hetero nor the same, at the same time no matter what substance appears, that being pervades the universe, taking the whole universe as Buddha. ; that Buddha in the whole universe, is the pure light of the end, perfect peace-and-peace. Therefore, the Buddhadharma is a measure to reform mankind. Renovating the whole universe into the ultimate perfection, realizing the Buddha's ideal. That's really, should practice and practice capacity, the time is possible due to the human evolution to the place of Buddha. IV. EFFICIENCY FREEDOM (Meaning no-obstacle) “... Self-forgiveness is one, unhindered, great-freedom" FREEDOM IS NOT is self-indulgent, self-indulgent. There is not a single Buddha-body that is not uncompleted in the entire universe, that is, the UNOBJECTIVE FRAMEWORK and also called the UNOBJECTIVE dharma-body. No-obstruction and no-self, the reason is very compatible, because of no-self, there is no obstacle, no-obstacle should be free. Therefore, bringing together the relational forces of the entire universe, and forming one thing (the Dharma-body) are often mastered and made friends with each other, that is, the unobstructed Dharma Realm, master, friend. endless coincidences, inconceivable (ordinary thought is relative discriminatory thought, not relativistic, reciprocal thought). Go to that realm ie can not speak; but, not without saying it, but a radical theory of the power-of-things-nothing-nothingness (theory is nothing more than a way of guiding the direction in the process, like pointing a finger at the moon) . The purpose of studying Buddhism is to succeed in the "Dharma-body without hindrance". Being in that unobstructed universe, self-forgiveness is one, unimpeded, free-for-all: 1. FREEDOM VIEW Scenes are all things received by wisdom. -awake. The truth of all things in the universe is completely unobstructed, the scene is not afraid, so it shows the wisdom of light-unobstructed wisdom, the mind is not afraid, so the scene is also not afraid; there is no object outside the mind, there is no knowledge outside the scene, the object, the mind as one, cannot perceive the two marks, but clearly know all the scenes, all the scenes are the known (obvious) of the know-all-knowing (necessarily fully-knowing). That is, the unsurpassed right-turning-perception, knowing the truth of the universe and all dharmas by means of clarity, not being constrained by time or space. Ordinary intellect is relative, still limited by time and space; Because the relationship of psychology and physiology is not equal for the psychological realm is right, so there are obstacles and obstacles. The Buddha's time was completely unobstructed. Bodhisattvas see the universal truth, see no difference; do not see the difference, so in that wisdom there is a distinction, there is a gap. On the contrary, the Buddha's wisdom is the true-varied perception, the universally-equal wisdom - all time, all space, all species, and at the same time nothing is unknown. clear by means of transformation; ability-trivial (understanding) facility-triage (scenes are known) member-intolerance-free. That is the scene, the free-wisdom, which in the Buddha's books is often called TRI-DUC. 2. Kamma-RESULTS-FREE Karma-results are caused by previous karma-forces as causes, of course there will be results, which karma-forces are its pre-actions. Pre-existing acts combined into present-life, resulting in the impetus of pre-existing and pre-existing behavioral forces, should be subject to a great new ceiling (the old one). passes away, the new is born), birth-death-reincarnation. The unborn (Arahant) is only partially free, and until the Buddha is the great freedom - abandoning all unwholesome unwholesome karma, perfecting human karma without contraband - pure from immeasurable kalpas, achieving pure Nirvana results. All bad things are absent, all wonderful things are complete (completeness) is the elimination of all bad karma, achievement of the merit of Nirvana. It is the free karma-result that the Buddha books often call the DURABLE-GENERAL. 3. COMPLETELY FREEDOM Completely free is the dharma-body, that is, the unobstructed dharma-world itself is also the whole universe. All sentient beings are born and die in the dharmakaya, but the dharmakaya is completely free in the entire world, all beings are born. Cosmic dharma-body, self-forgiveness is incomparable, often helping sentient beings and benefiting sentient beings. Sentient beings are in a place of ignorance, unconsciousness, receiving the transformation of the Buddha, being liberated from all sufferings and sufferings, and enjoying all happiness - for sentient beings there is great virtue, so In Buddhist books, it is often called AN-DUC. The three freedoms above, ie the three virtues of Buddha-Fruit, are Buddhist learners who hope to achieve that goal.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.26/12/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
