Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana), also called esoteric, as well as all other sects of Buddhism, which aims to Section perfect landing to reach Buddhahood to the Buddha. It can be said that any sectarian not close to the goal of liberation, attaining Buddhahood, the schools did not is authentic Buddhism.
Even the name says it that: Tibetan Buddhism, is the way to reach the diamond wisdom, the Buddha nature indestructible as a diamond, not polluted by defilements of life and death. That the Buddha nature substance is light (such as Amitabha means immeasurable rays), so in Diamond excess light nature which is called clear light (Clear Light). Buddha nature that can in three Persons: the dharmakaya, sambhogakaya and reincarnation, so the purpose of Kim Tibetan Buddhism is to reach her three relatives. One implication is that: Diamonds are a combination undivided wisdom, emptiness and compassion.
Also known as Vajrayana Tantrayana. Tulku Pema Wangyal literal interpretation of Tantra as follows: "Diamonds excess of the teachings known as Tantra. Most of us are familiar with Sanskrit this means a tan line, is the investigation frees. Solution out what line? Stream of consciousness. Tantra is the liberation of the mind was polluted our way very quickly ".
According to the explanation of Tantra Tsongkapa the Buddha nature that is shown in three parts of, well, results. "The meaning of tantra is to continue, unbroken, has three parts: the" base version "is the Buddha nature, Tathagata visceral nature;" path "is the fourth technical further information and technical experience thanks to two stages of development and achievements; and indestructible seat is Nirvana Radio (PhatVajradhara: Vajradhara), pattern of Nhat like, or a continuum such as Fruits "(The life and teaching of Naropa - Hebert V.Guenther).
Vajrayana also called Password redundancy pay (Mantrayana). Mantra (mantra) means the holder, to protect the heart toward liberation.
The purpose of the Vajrayana is reach the knowledge of the Buddha are all true speech sound (ie sound legal Buddha), all phenomena are nirvana, all beings are Buddha. It is the goal of Zen Buddhism, Hua-yen, Tiantai ...
Historically, the Vajrayana appear almost simultaneously with Mahayana, is the practice in order to accomplish the Great excess, such as Chinese Zen is the practice to the achievements of Mahayana. Nagarjuna (Nagarjuna, about 500 years after the passing of the Buddha) is the greatest commentator of a manic start to the Mahayana, is a group of Tibetan Buddhism. He wrote the sermon on the Vajrayana, we see that for almost Mahayana and Vajrayana have at one time. Prasangika Madhyamika sect of orthodox Nagarjuna is the backbone for all points of emptiness of the four Buddhist Tibet.
Both schools of Madhyamaka and realism have contributed greatly to the development of Vajrayana. Specific China is consistent with the emptiness and the realism is the study of the variables is of the mind, becomes a theory for the visualization and the corresponding (Yogacara) of Tibetan Buddhism.
Originated from India, Diamonds excess was famous in the great teachers of Nalanda as Shantirashita and Padmasambhava ... transmitted into Tibet from the 8th century. Most classical Sanskrit language has been translated, and through direct communication, so Tibetan Buddhism is close to Indian Buddhism during the Mahayana and Vajrayana in India.
2 - The line of Tibetan Buddhism
Vajrayana is the purification three industry body, the mind to become the body, the mind of a Buddha. When three purification was achieved, namely the three respective industry, ie three similar career application complete with Buddha nature. Turns himself into body, and become sambhogakaya France to become the reincarnation of the Buddha. "Tantric has 4 characteristics: one is Yogas thoroughly purify the environment; second Yogas thoroughly purify the body; Tuesday is thoroughly cleansed of all sensations; fourth Yogas thoroughly purify all acts. Any doctrine that contains four of were both purified esoteric "(Geshe Kelsang Gyatso).
German 13th Dalai Lama said: "For those who do not meet the exoteric practices, there are four tantra type: krya, charya, yoga and tantra yoga. Essence of four This type of yoga or tantra as "the supreme tantra"; through it, the enlightenment of Buddha nature can ultimately be completed in just a lifetime. To complete the circle complete Buddhahood, one needs a road link of both sides: the means (capacity) and wisdom (insight). This gives the state of harmony of body and mind has been purified, this is achieved at the climate. In tantra, "media" refers to the body yoga illusion (illusory body) and "wisdom" to refer to the clear light yoga (clear light) (The practice of Kalachakra).
Purification, sublimation, the same application was made through various means, methods and techniques.
* Mantra (mantra): Normally, that's saying we can form a corresponding interest. As said, I usually do A, B do I hate. Immediately, saying it constitutes a condition Trade and mind mentality where we hate. Mantra also affects us in that way. Mantra is the sound, the frequency at which the universe is made up of the vibration frequency. Is the vibrational energy at very high frequencies. Materials substance are vibrating at low frequencies. When science says is its physical volume concentration, which means that depending on which level of vibration from the rough world to international. So the mantra is the vibration, so it can do for our future resonate with the subtle vibrations, the subtle energy, the subtle world. Mantra is the sound caused by the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas speak out while in the three soot, in the realm of self-evidence, in the enlightened mind of him; so when the lead Note, we also corresponds to his samadhi, the realm of consciousness that the the text. Mantra is a sound bridge north from the lower mind with our previous High brightness of the text to your heart free. Language has character information, communicated, opened, maintained, mantra also character information, communication, opening and maintaining such an enlightened mind. One example is open to love in place to inform us by the kindness of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, we have narcissism can maintain key intelligence or his Great Compassion.
* India (Mudra): Diamond excess body mind concept is similar to the small universe of outer space. As business said: "In this body there is a birth into the world, the maintenance world and the decay of the world ", the correlation of body mind and world as such.
India is the way, placing body (at least 5 represents the five fingers of) to get a harmonic bring a certain state of mind. The embracing of common sense in Vajrayana images is also a type of publication (karma Mudra). Here there What is sexual. The embrace of yin and yang that is a combination of means "positive" and wisdom "negative", the combination of bliss "positive" and emptiness No "negative". The combined objective was also reflected in the the human body and mind: when visualizing the positive image that combines sound, the capacity of yin and yang, the left and right hand in the body will work together to create into an explosion of very high capacity.
* Mandala (mandala): figure represents a universe, the universe in the eyes of an enlightened being. According to realism, the universe is the turn of mind, so just mandala denotes the universe, has expressed the mind. Visualize the mandala is a universal meditation head, and imagine your own mind. The meditation is based on emptiness, so capital cosmic mind is not that capital. Here, we see also Zen describe the universe of mind and similar; open mind throughout the cosmos is full, rules on the small one can not see the point. Visualize the mandala began from a central point, from which extend out to the periphery. Visualizing Diamonds excess often start from a seed (bija) in the center of the heart forces, launched light morning to all sentient beings and Buddhas of the ten in the world, then light and collected the world in which self-seeds; after all, the seeds themselves also dissolved into emptiness responsibility course.
Mandala is a planetarium map minimized. In theory, the scientists cut off the current map, if the cut part of the image, a graph can show the whole picture. Mandala is the image miniature of the universe-head-in-the-nature-sense-of-its-realization, so the capacity of dance-head-in-the-nature-feeling-realization where there is also manifested the mandala. As a Buddha, though not the Buddha, but it also has a capacity that of enlightenment. Therefore, in empowerment, given the introductory student to admire the mandala, get in touch with enlightened power. Mandala Kalachakra is placed permanently in New Museum York, the sense of tourists to visit, for a strange sense of peace (The wheel of time).
* Deities (yidam, English UK: Deity): Said the god in popular speech, it is out of deities body of a Buddha in the Vajrayana. For example, Avalokitesvara has many chemical Born: Tara, Quan Yin 11 items ... Business comes to 32 prison-ng body (reincarnation) of Avalokitesvara. Thus, when visualizing deities ie visualize the reincarnation of a Buddha. As well as seeing the appearance of What we sensitive to such person; heard someone say the other side of the wall, we feel received attention in part to such person; when visualizing deities, we also like responding to free the mind of the Buddhas. When maintenance mantra, or sound of him, us closer to "export", "language" of his release order. The a kind of gentle spirit, a kind of grim for the treatment of patients with heart authors.
Over the few points on the solution like sketchy, we see that the Vajrayana practice of Mahayana with means, but the purpose is to reach ultimate reality as Mahayana. There Vajrayana emphasizes that the capacity, as Zen said visa at the ultimate level - ie emptiness - then draw a white circle. Vajrayana agrees with the white circle, but with the circle Vajrayana No white was full capacity. Pay attention to aspects of the real capacity is a very specific point of Tibetan Buddhism. Space is the capacity, as the world Avatamsaka is the interference of the light glares and capacity, as capacity universe known as Buddha's power in the force products Tathagata of the Lotus Sutra. By so, the skillful means of Tibetan Buddhism much emphasis capacity, but in a specific form, so easy to practice and have more effective results.
3 - Characteristics of Diamonds excess
In the introduction of The practice of Kalachakra, Dalai Lama writes: "Cultivation powerful tantra than the general practice of the classics, for some reason. One of them is tantra includes two elements "means" and "wisdom". In the classic way, we meditate on emptiness, or the personality and nature of the phenomena of enlightenment aspirations for higher driving force bi. Meditation on emptiness is mental factors, and aspirations is the Bodhisattva means. However, in this way Sutrayana, two factors could not performed simultaneously in one mind by a practitioner at normal levels. In the tantric path (Tantra), we visualize the mandala and the chemical deities, and then focus on their emptiness. This way, means and wisdom arise simultaneously in one mind.
In the Buddha nature, means and mind, body and mind, is a. Tantra path from using this dynamic starting point, and thus give rise to very rapid enlightenment. Special Characters different way of tantra is that it provides a crucial aspect of the results by practice - the comprehensiveness of the Buddha nature - the structure of the religious right beginning. Meditation is conducted with wisdom, inspiration comprehend emptiness, and main focus on the mind by this emptiness is generated in the form of the guardian deities of the mandala. This is characteristic of all four types tantra. In yoga tantra the supreme principle was further applied, of author uses the subtlest level of the capacity of the mind and body formula, the extent to which people do not practice can not penetrate.
Here, the clear light is used as substances can cause special Dharmakaya Buddha. By bringing into clear light spiritual path, enlightenment becomes possible instant. This latest technological sophistication found only in the supreme tantra yoga. "
Vajrayana uses all what man can have in our body and mind on the road to progress liberation. Therefore, there is a famous saying that: "People were falling down on land, he must ask the ground to stand up. "The emphasis on the means, method, technique is a feature of Tibetan Buddhism.
What that means for the not according to the Vajrayana sometimes seem strange, such as visualizing yourself as a deities (Deity) and the world around them is a mandala of deities that. It out, the visualization had a strong effect to break the ego and law enforcement: no is falling, there is no law is the essence of Mahayana. When visualizing the chemical itself god, there is pride diamond (Vajra pride), the self will vanish into the emptiness of the deities, and to see the outside world is a mandala, one-person discrimination, bad-good, dirty-clean, up-down ... will disappear. This is the destroy the secular appearance, the appearance of the earth by delusions into - is that what the Diamond Sutra as "non-general" in the verse: "Non-subjective Minister General News Reviews Tathagata." And as for visualization should both chemical-and chronic-god-we-are-so-momentum sexes is emptiness, as illusory dreams cells images, such as herons typical highway ... Of course, this is a consistent use of mental and ideological mandala, and many uses can not say enough for a child Buddhist path. And because many uses can not tell the whole, so the Vajrayana is called secret.
Another means is the raw gas of non-dual mind. According to this concept, a kind of consciousness is always riding on a certain gases. Hatred is riding on the gas field. Gas is the subtle body of mind. No gas, the mind has no form, no current. As in our no gas field, center field would be no room exists; oil is thought to want to pitch, it is not current. Thus, unlike other cardboard to purify the mind knowledge, in order to Vajrayana also a gas purification (winds). One of the use of the mantra is mantra for a particular vibration and subtle, so it is a means to purify the air, the purified gas is purified industry, because the seed of karma is "housing" in the air. The gas is purified they also purify the mind. Extreme gas purifying the mind free. Gas the body of our subtle. With gas particles (drops) in the subtle body and the meridian system (channels) constitute the subtle body (as a body of dream dreams, body after death - the intermediate ...). This subtle body is purified known as the diamond itself. In areas where overlaps meridians, knotted together on the central line (central channel), call centers or moral force distance (chakra). Also in the gas and of the chakras that reside industry, called gas industry (Karam winds). Purify the body in the Vajrayana is air purification industry to dispel the veils the light of wakefulness.
Subtle body when gas purified illusory body will become extreme (illusory body), empty body (Empty body), body and finally diamond Sac body (Rupa-kaya) or reincarnation of a Buddha. In Tibetan Buddhism, as a means of reference gas illusory body, Here is what the father tantra (as Guhyasamaja, Yamantaka ...) bias. Also interest is "wisdom" refers to the clear light, this is what the mother tantra (Such as Kalachakra, Heruba ...) bias. In the supreme tantra, body itself extreme subtle and clean this (illusory body) will be combined with the clear light mind to achievement of enlightenment; at the time, this body is the reincarnation of a Buddha and net interest Optical is the dharmakaya. List of professional calls this combination is no longer learn ask again. With the Vajrayana, the incident described in the drawing by a embracing the spirit of his woman, that is the subtle body clean all professional extreme combined with extreme subtle mind, body diamond with metal light of wisdom diamond, and dispel all the obscurations reach full enlightenment.
One of the distinguishing of Tibetan Buddhism and is Sutrayana conception of Tibetan Buddhism, Sutrayana is the excess of (cause vehicle) and Vajrayana is redundant results (effect vehicle). Call exoteric Mahayana are recognized because it is the practice of medicine, based on the human Paramitayana six, two to accumulate merit and wisdom ... through several generations to achieve results is the Buddha. There is excess fruit Vajrayana, meaning Diamond extra practice is based on the results of the Buddha nature inherent in each of right from the start. Instead people will become a Buddha, is here he inherent Buddha nature, which itself is Buddha; our practice, progress is only the visible existing route of the Buddha nature only. Living in the fruit that is a practitioner of Kim Tibetan Buddhism to the world as the world has seen of a Buddha, a Pure Land of Buddha, to find myself a Buddhist reincarnation, eating, sleeping are the activities of a Buddha in the realm of his own witness. Speaking as he Tangtong Gyalso (14th century) when teaching legal Avalokitesvara "meditator seeing all the outdoor scenes are the luminous shine. All of these things have become normal items decorum Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, all beings achieve perfection, they are close relatives Avalokitesvara, any What are they saying Lu Pin language, whatever they think are the spontaneous activity of enlightened mind. Obviously, practitioners themselves are also transformed so. More understandable words, all phenomena in the universe is transformed into forms that would be possible only where the realm of a Buddha enlightenment. "
Another feature of the Diamond redundancy is transforming every activity of the religious life, the path enlightenment, taking advantage of all opportunities of life for attaining Buddhahood, for example benefits sleep in order to accomplish the clear light of sleep, dreams to take advantage of achievement illusory body, to take advantage of the death reached the clear light of death ... There September bringing the state of life in the implementation of the dharmakaya, the Report body, such reincarnation: integration with dharmakaya, sambhogakaya, reincarnation in the state state formula; mixed with dharmakaya, sambhogakaya, reincarnation in sleep state; Republic French import with a relative, relatives, reincarnation in a state of death (Clear Light of Bliss, Geshe Kelsang Gyalso).
Life after meditation is also a spiritual practice. Tsongkapa said: "When was that Lac and emptiness in meditation, then in life after the meditation, the practitioner must see colors, bar ... is the combination of Lac and not so everyday life is a "Ecstasy" continuous (Six Yogas of Naropa).
One feature of Vajrayana accumulation of merit is faster than regular Mahayana. As we know, Buddhism is the wage persisted, two accumulated wisdom and good fortune has entirety. The process has accumulated sufficient merit then, there are Buddha Sac district with 32 generals and sub generals. This is a process that Sutrayana have many life long practice. With the Vajrayana, the accumulation of this merit can shorten the life of a meditation deities (and consistent other ideas). Meditation creates a body similar to Sac, residence, financial Resources and activities of a Buddha.
Another feature of the Diamond surplus means the transfer of the negative afflictions (greed, hatred, ignorance ...) into Bodhi. This is a subject of Sutrayana, but there Sutrayana personality theory more, as saying: Bodhi affliction ie, the nature of greed, hatred and delusion is the Bodhi ... We take a look at shortening the teachings of Padmasambhava on the metabolism of fear by Mahayana topics of common as emptiness, as illusory, no second ...
"To cut off the ego and believe in the devil, go to a camp where most awful. Let's start with the refuge Tam said, to develop bodhicitta and guru asked. Then after a long meditation Compassion and bodhicitta for all sentient beings as nothing more, but first is with the ghosts of her ...
Second, to sever the attachment fall, be aware that all objects are not real. Once I realized all subjects is not real, all concepts are thoughts, all things are empty, and the notice of the time as well as a dream or an illusion illusory, then go to bed in a state not - invisible monster problems, which ultimately nothing exists ...
Third, to cut off, please understand nondual nature thanks to the solid phase that achievement. Using the fear fear, to believe in ghosts enhance nondual nature. An office mail drop in non-dual state in which body and mind are not two, you and the enemy is not two, deities and demons are not two. In short, to remain in a state where no any phenomenon that duality. If the devil really appear, please jump in heart devil and I will pass through it unobstructed in any emptiness binary and platform. Finally, there is no evil entity.
As a result, when the existing then the devil exist; peace when peace is the devil, when the freed, the ghosts are freed; when tamed, the devil well tamed. The devil is the devil's own child, and it makes the cut peace. So is an enhancement, strengthening wisdom when faced with a more frightening place to meditate for three years "(Advice from Lotus Born).
Finally, in the Vajrayana there are direct methods as taught Zen with "any set texts, pagan special transmission, direct care workers only, ants become a Buddha nature. " That is Mahamudra (Mahamudra) of sect Kargyu and Dzogchen (Maha-Ati) of sect Nyingma. University een is emptiness. In economic Dinh Vuong (King of Concentration Sutra), Buddha said: "He's all legal as the Great India ". Use this emptiness publication all legal publications, including the mind and from idea, put it all back on emptiness to the rescue ".
Highest level of mahamudra is just straight reality. Shamar Rinpoche said: "What kind of Tuesday Mahamudra, Mahamudra core, there is nothing in common with the previous two. In China's approach consistent, strong participation at establishing a firm belief in the mind of authors, led him to understand mahamudra. In tantric Mahamudra, he relies on meditate on the spirit and practice of Yoga. But no need to it.
Enlightened teacher and students ready to be enlightened. It is direct perception of the mind by mind, directly meditate on fruit rather than go through several steps. Disciple mind can recognize and expressions of it that is not based on any of the above methods, simple because someone pointing it out for y; at that time, mental health information to recognize the show's medical designated for. For some people, the recognition was instant. This is the method very deep, higher than everything, the Saraha, Tilopa and transmitted Milarepa receptors "(The Change of Expression).
And Dzogchen means Buddhahood enough capital available, perfect equity in each of us, without adjustment, edited to add, not practice, just see it (comments), meditate on it (Meditation) and live with it (behavior). We see the teachings of Padmasambhava no different disciple "is the mind is Buddha" by Ma:
Look, Dorje Dudjom they Nanam!
The name "light of visual attention enlightenment "
As a built-in capital, natural and self responsibility no center nor circumference
Do not fix, control it, but in a state state proved itself through natural light and space
No change, not degenerate, but remain duty free in the nature of course!
Stay like that, people from the heart concept
The Mind is Buddha!
With Mahamudra and Dzogchen, we have more ways to enrich Zen.
Through some general points above, we can have an overview of the Vajrayana and also understand the why does the current Vajrayana sect influential in the penetration of Buddhism into the West. Vajrayana is a small sect altered compared to Indian Buddhism, so also bring the essence of the Buddha Indian teachers.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY GESHE TASHI TSERING.( MHDT ).26/4/2012.OM MANI PADME HUM.( 3 TIMES ).
