CHAPTER 1. SPECIAL DELIVERANCE.

 

3 types of Buddha Dhamma. The first belongs to the Dharma teachings are the Four Noble Truths he preached at Benares (Sarnath), India and became the basis for the Venerable School (Theravadin). The second teacher of his generation must not be speaking at The Spirit Animal (Rajagriha) and became the basis for Mahayana Buddhism. Tuesday teachings of the Vajrayana system (Vajrayana) the Buddha said in many different locations. Three Pratimoksa (Pratimoksa) (Actually there's three to eight types Pratimoksa (Pratimoksa). The new priests are ordained bhikkhu life (bhiksu) gender, and ni is the life bhikkhunis (bhiksuni), approximately on hundreds of sex. Next to the new world for the increase in (sramanera) and the first ordained nuns (sramanerika) and the nuns in the "practice" (siksamana). Next is Five Precepts for lay men (upasaka) and lay women (upasika). And finally all that's left in the day (upavasatha) that anyone is life) is still being practiced in the country Burma, Sri Lanka and Thailand. In Korea and China where Mahayana teachings completely dominated in terms of practice, three Pratimoksa c? Ng practice, but the Mind world is highlighted points h? N . In Tibet all three levels are frustrating practice rules: Three Pratimoksa, bodhicitta (bodhicitta) and suspected of Vajrayana Law (Vajrayana). Outside looking in, discipline problems with Tibetan monks have been relaxed somewhat. The Venerable monk of the Mahayana, or sometimes claim that the Tibetan monks to relax as much as they no longer hold the world again. This is not true. In India, practitioners can go begging in the morning and return at noon. But in Tibet there are no large cities and villages away from Tibet and scattered. So if the monks set off at four o'clock in the morning alms, they must take the evening they returned to and therefore can not practice and learn anything. So, parents Pandita and Tibetan siddha in the past have decided instead to spend all day out to beg, it is better to let the monks that he spend time to learn. So Tibetan monks do not go begging. Tibetan monks eating after noon, but also for some people, as well as transgression (in the special sutra Buddha said that monks and nuns theory is not eating solid food after noon). But this also has its reasons. In India, the monks seeking alms in the morning, returning in the afternoon and evening meditation. Alms in the morning and afternoon is not true. Because of the monks food based entirely on alms, the Buddha prohibited monks and nuns should eat in the afternoon. However, Tibetan monks seeking alms should not eat in the afternoon session or the afternoon if they are still hungry for them to be diligent practice was over. However, during that time twice a month repentance and retreat during the rainy season, it is to not eat the right way to remember the teachings of the Buddha. Tibetan monks eat meat while Chinese monks do not eat. But even the Venerable monks to eat meat because they beg, they must accept any food that candidates for all candidates, whether it be meat, fish or vegetables. Because the practitioner may have received meat while begging, so the Buddha in the Stock Market (Vinaya sutra) does not prohibit eating meat. Chinese monks do not eat meat but they eat seafood. They do not eat no meat by the hundreds of worms found in meat that can be saved. Likewise, in Tibet, only the meat of the animals belong to a large new food. So, for example, of a yak meat (buffalo) sufficient for a monk to use in a year. Also, vegetarian, it can kill more charming than to eat a yak in the cultivation of crops. Therefore Pandita Tibetan siddha and decided that rather eat a yak is better than too much to kill small animals and thus retains world properly. By eating only large animals, not only three Pratimoksa gender, but gender Bodhicitta (Bodhicitta world will explain later as the wish to save all sentient beings achieve enlightenment ) and gender Vajrayana (Diamond World will also be explained in more detail in the following paragraphs shall keep all the wishes and practices) are also kept. I also believe that we should stop eating all kinds of small animals, but only the larger animals that eat only meat. However, that does not mean that Tibetan monks who perfected morality. Tibetan monk robes dark brown while the Venerable monks wear yellow and Chinese monks wear black. Buddha monks institutional life of the tool wear y red, yellow or blue with dark brown Buddha is not allowed. So the Mahayana Buddhist monk Venerable and non-health ministries dark brown. However, the Pandita and the Tibetan siddha rejected because blue is the color of laymen wearing dark brown and take that on. (According to Khenpo Kartha, dark brown almost not available in India, so very expensive for the robes of a monk. According to Khenpo Kartha dark brown have a lot in Tibet and so no not expensive and easy to get.) At the time of the Buddha, the monks do not wear Indian-style coat as Tibetan monks wearing and bare torso. When the Indian Pandita to Tibet, where he found the cold all day so they have used up the blanket when sitting. The coat should be copied style in which pi and then be changed to suit the six icons Paramitayana (Paramita). Then this suit became the uniform of Tibetan monks. Now we are in America, and the ordained monks are gradually crowded. I believe that in modern society, to go out begging inappropriate, but eat in the style of Tibetan monks would be more appropriate, such as eating food in the evening. Question: Rinpoche, in the West, we often have the idea that an animal such as dog or a cow is more precious than a worm or an ant. Rinpoche : According to Buddhist tradition, whatever has life is felt. So there is no difference whether it be small or large animals. However, killing a man is considered a very bad career, because people can reach an end and there are greater benefits for other beings. Song no difference between dogs, worms and cows. Q: One of the contradictions that we encounter for friends is not Buddhism, it is said that they do not kill us but we eat meat. We answer to, but it is through the "hand Tuesday" then. But say not help them understand. He can say something about the meat that has passed the "three hands" and reasonable? Rinpoche: Buddha institutions that we can eat meat if we avoid the three cases the following sense, that (a) it does not directly kill animals to eat it, (b) it is not them to be killed animals eat it yourself, and (c) the animal was not completely killed by others for their food. If we did not stay in three cases of such awareness, the meat was edible. Q: In this area there are many local fishing capital, they are fishing for fish to live and bring it back to us, sometimes because we sometimes like to put that gift to us. I do not know how to rock through the case. Rinpoche : Do not say, "Please bring me fish" anymore. But if the fish came to them gratuitously, that where a star. Q: Should we buy fish at the port or not? Rinpoche : Yes, because then I bought a fish that died. When the fish was dead, then either buy or they gave her his own, and the same time. Q: If people no longer buy fish, they will not kill more fish. Rinpoche : Whether we Buddhists do not eat fish anymore, they still block others still eat fish. Q: But the world not to kill, why? Rinpoche : Eating meat and keep the world does not look completely different from each other because they just can not kill the fish, where we buy it from others. If we stop killing animals to eat anymore, then that is a job benefit for the species. However, if an animal is killed, He will not eat it and do nothing to help him and the dead animal flesh would decay only. Q: But it always leads to the thought that animals would be killed. Actually, it's evil actions are taken to other people allow themselves to be pure. If we are a good bodhisattva, we should get yourself to receive instead of give to others. Rinpoche : We have to suffer to get his own karma. The most important thing is you do not stop doing evil actions. It is possible anymore I do not advise others to do evil. But much depends on individuals. For example, I once made ​​a mistake like that. I saw spiders retinopathy in the bathroom and thought the spider would kill many other insects. So I removed his finger spider spider went to get food from. Rather I mean protection for the small insects that spiders will kill to eat, whereas the spider to be compromised because it does not get into food and starvation. Q: Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche suggested that we try to be true vegetarians at Gampo Abbey, meaning that we need to have a garden. So we had to kill insects if we want to get together garlic, carrots and potatoes. Rinpoche: The most important thing is the intention in mind. Since we have in mind is not the intention of killing beings, whether we should dig vegetables, then that also is not necessarily harmful. The important thing according to Vinaya is not his intention to kill. Q: Suppose in Boulder, Colorado has a thousands of Buddhists and every week to eat a chicken: the figure will be 52,000 birds a year. And because everything is computerized, the producers knew they would have to raise additional 52,000 chickens because they know that people will eat them. If Buddhists do not eat chicken, they will not feed him some chicken. Rinpoche : If today I bought about eight hundred fish at the market tomorrow will be eight hundred new fish be replaced. Action is their karma, not ours. But from the perspective of their own, they may have a platform that, but not knowingly or intention in the mind like that. So I could have eaten, but I have no intention to kill the animal. Because all four conditions are not met closely, so that's not the transgression. Q: And as I intend to try to prevent people do not kill, why? If 1,000 Buddhists do not eat chicken again, they will actually have the opportunity to prevent people from having to kill the chicken. They do not make money, so they do not kill them more. Rinpoche: In this world we can not tell others not to kill. For example, in the ocean so many small fish are large fish kill? It is important to not to kill ourselves, and in that way we can stop killing. But others are not sure. Q: At Gampo Abbey in everyone's life every day. If we do not kill ordination rite this as any more time in knowing that that day we'll hit a shovel in a lot of worm or whatever you do. So what are other reasonable if our wish here is to get food? And there's different if it was reasonable to receive or not receive as ritual? Rinpoche: It should take about this life even if we can kill insects on the job. Because as we have in mind is not intended to kill them, so we will not kill intentionally. Q: We often have to decide that case are more beneficial. In modern society, people often decide to kill some animals to bring greater benefits, for example, the block malaria transmission by mosquito capital. The only way to stop malaria is to kill mosquitoes. Rinpoche : I think if we have a pure wish to benefit others is okay to kill insects. If we take the name of money by killing mosquitoes that come with his mind, then, of course, that is evil.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY BIKKHUNI GESHE TSERING TASHI.OM MANI PADME HUM.( 3 TIMES ).11/2/2012.
