Shakyamuni Buddha's lifetime is a shining example
Derived in any religion, religious teacher is always an example to inspire believers to move forward collectively. But in the religious teacher of religion in the world is this, you * do not have a full meaning noble, a life deep in the Buddha Sakyamuni. Every action, every gesture, every word, to each his silence are valuable lessons for us. If we study his teachings without understanding his life, then our learning is superficial and shortcomings. Her life is the manifestation of His teachings. He said he practiced and even the words he spoke. Her life is an evidence for the death notice that his teachings can be done, rather than mere words, the utopian, building castles in the clouds, the smoke.
So therefore when we study his life, we should have learned the concept that nature to satisfy curiosity, but we need to learn the meaning of life, intensive drug was applied to bring life our lives.
How do new women from the great desire of the Buddha as being psychic realms down this Saha and has endured many sufferings, employment in this life time as each of us.
Re chief
Definition The word Christmas Birth
Often in the name of the Buddha, when it comes to the presence of Shakyamuni Buddha in this world, people often use the word connoisseurs (ie a happy birth, to rejoice, for the bright realms of life) ; or the market is (ie appears in the flesh, died for our eyes to see); or Christmas delivery (ie, from a high place down to a low birth place).
Three words that have three different meanings: The word connoisseurs to celebrate your birth a religious order; text content marketing is the Buddhist idea how about also, but because the human eye can not see, it is clear to see; words that strike the Buddha's birth function in a higher realm, better than that ceiling down this mortal realm. Three different words though, but can be used to indicate the birth of Buddha. In contrast, when a man was born is called "early pregnancy". Reincarnation means that being good or bad karma or reincarnation required retribution for good or evil. But Christmas is not the function or marketing the business sense of sentence was over, but by compassion, want to benefit all sentient beings, the application itself appears voluntarily released in time to save sentient beings; finished recording the spirit passed away, in order to live out his wife died.
Circumstances and the seed of Sakyamuni
Buddha's birth in the central Indian origin, is now the country of Nepal, a country along the slopes of the Himalayan Mountains, is the world's highest mountains. The scenery is very beautiful there; the spring bear cotton country is as great a flower garden. People in the country was very plain food. King ruled that Section, a king of the Shakya, a large family was born some ten successors ruled the country. Ms. Ma Da Queen, who is also a long line of kings was born. both Mr. and Mrs. King is the Province who are more religious life, a great virtue, worthy of all peoples parenting.
One day, in the Ca Ty is about, is the capital of the king of the Province, with l chickened stars, kings got together to open the meeting dissipated. Empress Ma Da, after offering floral offerings and comments in the palace, the Ngo Mon alms food, clothing for indigent people. Upon returning to provide slept, she dream that a white elephant ivory from six out of nowhere down, take the right hand side of ivory declared that she chun on. She brought her dream omen to tell the king heard the Province. The king ordered him to invite guess dreams. The prophets predict that: "The queen will be a boy born with talent and virtue." He comes very glad, because from here the throne will have the TV connected.
By the morning of April eighth lunar month (624 years BC), in the garden Lam Ty Ni, by the Ca Ty La Ve 15 km, Empress Ma Da is pleasure, seeing new flowers blooming Premium Radio, fragrance, her right hand with scythes, the Prince also appears right there.
Date of birth Prince's birthday, in the Ca Ty La Ve, scenes are incredible fun, cool climate, flowering plants are flowering fruit; rivers, canals, ditches, wells were in full; of nowhere birds deadliest illuminated and glory all the ten directions.
The king was overjoyed Section invited the prophet to see Minister Prince. Of that, a Taoist named A Private amended in Himalayan mountains, predicts that 32 Prince due to good general appearance, it will become a saint. But the king Section only want their children to make a king patrilocality only. Thus, Section United want to change the destiny child, should be named Prince Siddhartha * (Siddartha) in Sanskrit means: "He will hold the position that you should possess." Section positions that King is referring to this throne. He did not expect that the truth of his positions as the Buddha.
Empress Ma Da Prince after having a baby is seven days, enjoying the show because he had to fulfill the noble mission, and had washed her karma should be emptied flesh and born of heavenly dao Li. Section Affairs Prince King for his sister is Queen Ma Ha Ba Ba Xa to nurture.
Talent and virtue Prince
Prince larger each year, it looks more and more home recovery, revealed more talent multiplied. He is a healthier person, a brilliant intelligence. From text to martial arts training, he studied with Prince does in a few days later, the professor would have to report that rot, because no longer afford to teach anymore. So the reputation of his master practitioners of the time was San Thread Thread She always yield to Him.
But, despite financial health than intelligent of them in the right position to you the ultimate high, Crown Prince never seemed arrogant, despised people. He has a gentle attitude peaceful, impartial, equitable. Compassion, his damage none, h have the opportunity to help, then how much difficulty although he is not dead. Therefore, he was on his beloved king, the god's respect, respect for.
III the constraints of Section To Prevent Wang Chi Monks Of Prince
The more you love, cherish the Section United even more afraid their children will not stay with her, which will appear in the Path to find a saint, as predicted by Taoist A freezer. Especially seeing that the larger, Prince seems to think the more distant, and facial Prince was not happy as childhood, King Section fear that the more ancient prophecy will be done * . Therefore, the King with courtiers secretly arranged any plan to bind to the throne Prince in press. He transmitted the castle built three magnificent prince to change accommodation for the weather year round, and provides hundreds of non-select each talented beauties or folk music, good to dance to appease Prince . But as long as it is not enough he also married the Prince l with a princess daughter of King Shan Du Da Da La Giac is a beautiful princess and extremely virtuous.
Prince was forced to retreat and married with one child is Rahula.
But, despite a life too full: the deprivation of any fame, no castle palace, which now dance song, what beautiful children into good wife, Prince still see how heavy my heart so anxious, questions get. He lived his life to the scene this is not true happiness, which is false, confusion, just makes life more severe pain. He saw the need to find a way out, a true life, and higher mean better.
Identify four General Format In life one day, people on low l completing, by his father Prince to cultivate the public view. Landscape spring, a new look through, it's a beautiful, lush flowers which, like birds singing race; any clear skies, wind exposure MOT spring. The scene seemed peaceful, very peaceful. But Prince soul is not a superficial mind, judging a painful situation. On the contrary, he stared into the scene and found that pain passed away not happy as beautiful when seen through. He saw the farmer and cattle working hard under a scorching sun, in exchange for the bowl, holding the grass. The birds eat fresh scrambled devouring insects are on the bed * seconds between plowing new ground. In the same time, in the bush hunters are shooting other birds, and in the nearby woods, they are reported catch the hunter. It was a brutal scene like close relative, not any moment to stop! Just because the pieces that people eat to live and use all the material intended to kill each other do not know of. His awareness of the living beings are suffering.

The other day, he would allow his father walked out of the four doors to be in contact with his people. Out to the East, he met a white haired old man, tooth loss, eyes blind, deaf, bent, gradually shifting rod was hesitant as about to fall.
By the door Nam, Prince saw a sick lying on the grass, are crying out groans, extreme pain.
West to the door, he saw a dead found between the lines, flies lang plump, and bloated, looked so disgusting.
Three old misery, pain, death, in addition to a thorough impression of the life that Prince has found that when l go plowing the field, making him sad, deeply compassionate human being.
The other day, he made a full North, met a monk generals look sedate, calm calmly as people pass through unscathed. Prince at the heart arises an affection for monks. He rushed to greet and ask about the benefits of spiritual practice. Monk said, "I practice is to put off all realms of life bound, * the demand for his district from suffering and the sense to ordinary beings are liberated as yourself"
Answer that won the Prince ambition cherished for so long, so wise strangle him happy. He immediately returned to his father would supply his renunciation. King does not accept Section. Prince asked his father if four of the king resolved to postpone his vieic convent, to return to the animal's care, water treatment. Four kites are:
1. How do young children not old MAIC
2. How strong sales for the painless
3. How to live not die skeptical
4. How do people end suffering
Four things make his father's embarrassment, not solve it all.
IV. The Monks Find the Path
Section King, knowing the intention of the Prince family, much less fear, to find out how to prevent, binding him in "providing fun". But when Prince did not have the power to decide what prevents him.
An extra night soldiers guarding the occasion and provide non-sleeping beauties home after a party spirit, Prince sneak rise, * when I last looked at his wife, then wake up Nac Xa keep horses, saddles won, and two teachers out of hiding. At that time h to overnight one eighth month, and he was 19 years old.
After throwing his life away from the royal, Prince went into the sdsau * Search Path.
Initially he came in with the religious ascetic. But such people to live a pain clinic, frequent fastings, long sunshine, mist, the body can damage a monster. Seeing such a practice is not effective, he advises that you should leave it approach to practice, but they did not listen. You get to love them, should find another place to practice. He went out place to another, where listening is a spiritual practice, He enlightened look to learn, but to where he saw the direction they are still narrow, low bars, not be free for people of all be. From there he * place to practice alone, brooding night to lead free, forget to eat out every day sleeping body emaciated. One day he exhausted, lying down list on the grass, and grass to dump a shepherd barking woke him. He was then found that if you want results, need to be healthy physically healthy, and not left it to be.
When you feel healthy enough to fight in the final battle with the dark ignorance and desire, and bring the light of enlightenment, he came and sat under a tree type of Bodhi and vowed that "if we fail direction the ragged mist tan flesh, we also decided not to leave this place. "
Enlightenment IV
Sakyamuni sat under the entry for 49 days and nights the original Bodhi. In 49 days he was hitting the enemy fighter in the inner afflictions such as greed, hatred, ignorance, doubt, chronic ... and fight the enemy by Ma Ma Thien Vuong Ba Week commander.
After winning both the inner enemy in the external environment, the mind is cleared, he Contain natural treatment.
In the 49th night, the cultivation of two, he documents the results "Further par Minh", seen all his past in the three worlds. By midnight, he documents the results "label Minh Thien", sees all nature of the universe and He * cause its composition. By the fourth watch, he of the * result of pain and suffering unless termination method to be liberated from samsara private * method.
From that day, he is unsurpassed Act, the order "supreme Buddha", performance is Sakyamuni Buddha. On his enlightenment is calculated according to the lunar day of December 8th, at the morning star rises. At that time he was 30 years old.
IV lofty significance in the Monks Find the Path of the Buddha
The enemy soldiers out to win battle, often hailed as heroes. More and more enemy to win acclaim as a hero the world. But those heroes that way, like Napoleon, Genghis Khan, Caesar Da (* Cear), himself? so hard to win people back to win her harder. Buddha won both internal and external environment, the enemy wins Ma Wang * desire. Buddha really deserves the title of Dai Hung mainland.
He was not * the right to fight by their own words. He fought for love. But love is not just here to love within the family * narrow: Trade parents, children, friends. Love is love here being, all passed away. The love was deep as it wide air tanks, such as love her passionate love you. Buddha really deserves the title of great compassion.
* Love him back, he was happy to leave the throne power supply gold pearl, beautiful children into good wife, now or dance beautiful, delicious smells strange to live a pain clinic, meager, lacking, between the sacred forest poisonous. Once the first leaves that life is precious to the above, he does not regret a moment, want to return to enjoy again. Proof that Ma Wang sent her daughter Gia Du pretending to beg for his call back provision, which he does not mind a little retrogression. He deserves the title of Great Joy amnesty.
So now, each time calling his name spread, beings can not help but contemplate the deeper meaning of life and true that over the years has honored him as Dai Hung, Mainland, pronouns, General Bi, Great Joy, Great Drain.
C. Conclusion
We should give rise to large and Vibrant
We already know from the Buddha's life from birth to the direct primary. Life's lessons he taught us more meaningful, more valuable ways.
But the most valuable for beginners who like us is to develop a large Bodhi mind, pray for life, for the people, the kind that practice, but not * be useful for us.
We must give rise to strong, active in the practice; a lead when on the road, then even in danger, dangerous and not necessarily difficult from retreating back heel. We must practice the virtue to be patient as the Buddha when meditating under the Bodhi original.
To be worthy of such a new "true Buddhists". END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY BACH LIEN HOA.( TAM THANH ).NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).1/2/2012.MHDT.
