CHAPTER II NOI EDUCATION- FOREIGN EDUCATION & TANTRIC BUDDHA'S.

Sakyamuni Buddha is considered the fourth of this eons. He has had a direct and guide sentient beings on the path to enlightenment. He taught the teachings of the Buddhas of the past and supplemented by a number of teaching techniques appropriate to the needs of people in this era. His teaching was predicted to exist in five thousand years. How many different ways to classify the Dhamma he transmitted as divided into three legal director Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana. Basically, the meaning and content of the teachings of the three extra verses mentioned in Tibet:

Practice is the path outside the discipline,
practice inside is bodhicitta.
Practice is a legal secret esoteric mantras.

Each line of shelves about a redundant: Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. With these three characteristics is the spiritual method: Outside, inside and secretly taught by the Buddha in India. Three stages appear Buddhism respectively. This means less teaching for the generation preparing for teaching higher. . .

1 - outside teaching;
Hinayana.

The teaching consists of the basic teachings of the Buddha and the universal; based on public sermons enough for the audience rating. It began with the sermon at Sarnath near the Ba-La-Nai. Thread center is four noble truths, the Path, the Twelve and three measures of Dependent Origination is higher: morality, meditation, wisdom. The focus is no simple way of meditation with the basic formal rules hold strictly true crystal.

Historically, this form of Buddhism that King Ashoka (Asoka) protection in the third century BC. The missionaries had spread throughout his kingdom from Afghanistan in West Bengal in the north to northeast. So, sometimes called the Western scholars of Buddhism as "Buddhism preliminary". We should know: According to ancient Indian and Tibetan Buddhism this kind are not taught before the other two. Rather, this form of Buddhism is the most widely spread in the beginning.

2 - inside the Dharma;
Mahayana.

Second century BC. One financial commentator has appeared most in the world is India Nagarjuna (Nagarjuna). Buddha himself prophesied: Nagarjuna will give local school or Mahayana. It's only been teaching for teaching the selected group of students and passed quietly through the centuries as to wait for the maturity of the Buddhist civilization of India. As civilization has to mature age. Nagarjuna be reincarnated and regain inner teachings from the "Naga" (dragon) or to the conservation of common teachings. Nearly forty books "Paramita Sutra" and he recovered many Indian Buddhists welcome. Ministry "Letter Regarding Management Reviews Six middle way" was his famous right away. So Nagarjuna has a major influence on Indian Buddhism. The majority of comments were received Professor later inspired his works.

Second most important character of avant-garde movement Mahayana are: Asanga (Asanga, late fourth century). He lists five books written comments are considered the teachings of the Bodhisattva Maitreya. These include "Yoga Bhumisastra" and the book review written by him. All these rights are included Abhidharmic of the Mahayana. Nagarjuna and Asanga are scriptural interpretation Prajna . But Nagarjuna focus theory "Wisdom of emptiness" . Also focus on Asanga Bodhisattva . Two Indian masters are considered two of the Mahayana. In "Boat Buddy Indian Buddhist thought," the Dalai Lama II wrote: "The nest is Nagarjuna and Asanga Mahayana. The two are controversial in that time. Because some are works of his comments directly to the thoughts of the Buddha. That is from my experience of meditation rather than on the classics are available. Two founding teachers of this two Mahayana. "

The bottom of the cabinet or the Mahayana teachings are: Development and practice Bodhicitta bodhisattva - Raising great desire to reach ultimate enlightenment as a means; to implement compassion for all beings and benefits of practicing giving Tat as excellent or Six Six happy paramitas.

3 - The secret teachings;
Vajrayana Buddhism.

Tuesday trends in Indian Buddhism as Vajrayana or Tantric's legal director. This trend, public appearances around the V or VI century BC. From here until disaster destroying Buddhism in India. The new system of esoteric Buddhism in turn arises. Those who are considered to be the common Vajrayana initially are: Indrabhuti, Saraha, Latitavajra and many others. . . Although currently not possible to accurately time the master of the lack of documentation. But we know the lines they claimed direct lineage teachings of Buddhism by the Buddha himself had secretly taught his disciples by his superior. These teachings are transmitted secret until the right time can be widely disseminated. What was most memorable: "Kalachakra Tantra" is one of the Yoga system of sadhana ultimate final appearance in India is the tenth century.

Three types of Buddha's teachings: Delivery, Foreign and Tantric teachings have been brought to Tibet. But the legal director of the Land of Snows tantra warmest reception.

In India, three kinds of teachings and practice of Buddhism does not live in harmony as in Tibet. The adherents of the sect are often not recognized the value of Paganism and esoteric Buddhism. For example, when viewing the Mahayana treatise is his brother Asanga. Vasubandhu says: "My brother lived for twelve years. A good dream is not achieved. Do not tell achieve true doctrine. Some of these teachings is because he put out ".

The presence of the tantric teachings were not all Buddhists accept that time. Because of their conservatism. Only later Indians gradually accepted all three forms of Buddhism. In the eleventh century, the Tibetan pilgrims to the monastery in northern India like Nalanda, Vikramashila and Odantapuri. To recite these places tend to see Buddhism as the three aspects of the whole. Biography of the Indian guru important time as Atisha, Naropa, and others written by Tibetans also refer to this best attitude. With such status, Buddhism was introduced into Tibet in two phases:

1 - Phase I: VII & IX century,
under the auspices of the king of Tibet in Lhasa. 2 - The second wave: In the eleventh century;
the principal under the auspices of the Guge king - West West organs.

In "Boat Buddy Indian Buddhist thought." Dalai Lama II said a summary of the three redundant as follows: "In general, three types of Buddha Dhamma to his disciples tends to lead simple; he taught Hinayana. For practitioners favor the more complex way; he taught Mahayana or Paramitayana. Those who want to follow a very profound way; he taught esoteric Vajrayana. Dharma to the use of esoteric Buddhism craving into practice. "

Here, the Dalai Lama II said of the practitioners as those who received the three types of special teaching. And using the method in this respect as primary spiritual practice. In practice, the poem quoted at the top shows how the pagan general, internal education and the education in the practice of the practitioner as the spiritual level of effort after another.

In summary, Tibetans say: First of all practitioners must develop inner stability by the method Hinayana . It's three advanced courses: morality, meditation, and wisdom. After that expanding practice with bodhicitta is supreme enlightenment for practice Friday happy three perfections. After all, when was achieve qualities: No attachments, compassion and wisdom of emptiness. practitioner will tantric initiation and practice of Vajrayana methods.

Dalai Lama III talks about the benefits of the right attitude in the treatise refined essence of Gold: "All the profound teachings are taught in the sutras and tantras. Just as in the commentary and interpretation of the book Buddhist teachers of the death row. Must be considered: The application methods. Starting with the basic method. And then by the higher law beyond; to eliminate the obstacles caused by ignorance. The significance of all the teachings of the Buddha and the patriarch. From advice on methods teachers to comments identity. Must be visualizing. . . All teachings must be practiced in daily life and practice of the practitioner.
