THE MEANING LOTUS SEVEN STEPS.

 

Every year, every season of the Buddha "is everywhere around the place" where "existing Buddhist images, reigns" in which air is as fun, exciting. It's all welcome the Buddhists celebrate Buddha's birthday. Celebrate Buddha's birthday is in memory, review and tribute to the great birth of the Buddha.

Aspirations of all beings is "want happiness and avoid suffering." The desire or tendency to happiness and avoid suffering has no limits. It's a very natural event, and also righteousness. The existence of Shakyamuni-Form-Ni Blessed here on earth to twenty-five centuries "indeed" not for purposes of things that kind of beings.

As disciples of the Buddha, the last thing any of us had more than once to hear the lectures presented significant step lotus seven figures. The seven steps are the steps on that path of happiness, brought to the perfection of happiness, endlessly.

In the dignified and respectful with things like the Buddha's heart, "please share with each other, Buddha's season, the meaning has been heard from the gurus of the images in the context of that faith from women born "through which we can understand something, help us in our lives to an additional quality survival happiness in this relationship.

Business Advantages Ms. Di behavioral practice - Application to mention that Swiss products: "The Great St. pregnancy who" almost to be delivered on the Queen Ma-customary family returned home to give birth. On the way, he stopped at a beautiful park called Lam-Pi-ni gardens, queens and deliberate walking in the garden enjoying an atmosphere of pure, powerful after long toil. Unknown to under a priority, look doa-talk advantage of thousands of years flaunted to incense "unawareness" queen Ma-right arm up in time to pick flowers "from the hip immediately useful" Buddha was born - light Softcore seven steps on seven lotus flowers, each step at each level: 1, South Eastern author, the text we tried prolific masters, 2, Thi Nam Phuong, the text field of merit salary beings trying to work; 3, Thi Western authors, falls ultimate urban living relatives evacuation incidents; 4, the author Thi Bac, u necessarily sentient, self-barons have obtained A-la-Tam-tam-Temple Bodhi incidents; 5, South Lower the fake, you break that army training and flexible end-time fixed term, 6, often the author, the gods of fixed costs of refuge 7. To the final step, just one hand to the sky, just one hand to the ground and declared that'' the heavens only to fall lower natural monopoly''. After this, the gods offer both hot and cold running water for his bath. And he come back as any normal child.

Born Buddhist images and seven step lotus was a very meaningful symbol that describes the Mahayana the Buddha's birth. The appearance of a Buddha - or more words, a being from the ordinary fate, to achieve results Buddha, to undergo seven-step roadmap that lotus.

* The first step, look to the East, he said: "South Eastern authors, the word guru beings trying to work" (look to the East, because the human beings the ultimate guide). Orient is the sunrise. Expression for the solar light of wisdom, of great understanding. It covers the whole journey form a knowledge, skill whatsoever to build a Holy property. What is knowledge whatsoever? That one must have a knowledge, in so doing, by thinking of how sure know a reason for living or beautiful in life - a wisdom in the ordinary position, sentient beings. But as a person other than human eyeballs of our past. The ancients used to say, not as a person to complete before becoming a Buddha. Buddhism teaches two essential compassion and wisdom. Say na is the understanding and love. True understanding is understanding the truths the Buddha taught. Then, the understanding is love, and vice versa. Wisdom is Compassion, Compassion is Wisdom.

Which says: "There are new insights commercial." Love, in life, few people can live without. Love's not very often love nature petal flowing without selfishness. It's a passionate love looking forward to (other) realized it requires being. And just for myself - it, in fact, just as hard for each other is much better. As those who show imbalances, it also represents a culmination selfless love that is denied or is not responding. Therefore, the "love" is something that's indispensable life. It is silver throughout the relationship between husband and wife, father, friends, neighbors, relatives. In life this correlation interdependence - if everyone is behaving rigidly with merely the duty and responsibility alone, but not from a truly loving heart - then life will be very monotonous, no color, and there are bridges north of sympathetic connection to the cozy situation. We easily see that, in addition to the duties and responsibilities, the parents and children that is an innate feeling, so natural. Also new was the feeling aroused, arising pious hearts of children, even the most unruly children. Also from the fact that the sympathies of friends tightened further. The interest to be truthful with her children familiar neighborhood of New make each day more attached to humanity binds. And to cultivate love with him for long and bring true peace to each other, the only material and is the first to know. If not clearly understand, comprehend reached - we will easily be the words, gestures clumsy as to suffer for it among themselves. And to be clear attitude to love - we must learn, to understand. Knowing what? As Buddhists, we must understand the teachings, ways of living Buddha taught - that nothing radical and more important is the doctrine of karma. "What whatsoever, prior to thinking about its consequences." We, by which to clearly comment on how the act is evil, is good to make choices. So how is the good? He tells us: a thought, words or actions that benefit for their peace, for peace, peace both, peace for all, in the present to the future - this is called Friendly and vice versa. Thus, once we start living in it, that is we have gone one step further by foot Buddha.

* Second, look to the south, Kinh said: "South Southern author, the text field of merit salary beings trying to work" (Look to the south, because the good fortune farming beings).

According to Buddhist teachings to life as we begin to make merit for themselves - that is, we start practice, industry began to move, forming good karma. That means that the refuge.

Factors become a Buddhist is the refuge - which means that back support, which live in the Three Jewels - the mind can twist, turn. It is an important decision and benefits for life. From here, we give way to live ignorant, or suffering to the eyeballs together, by themselves (beat ...), with words (said harshly, slanderous, cheer pointy ends ...), with attention (cunning, evil) but instead by the enlightened way to live - that sense of karmic cause and effect, that consider the consequences of what they do to each other happily. So when the refuge is sometimes slitting his life out - just end the cycle of life, suffering, just beginning life free and happy.

Opening liberated life, happiness - we have to take refuge qualities of the factors bringing liberation and happiness - that is the Three Jewels - Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Buddha who was enlightened, liberated, explanations and teachings, the truth. Increasing the mass of the people who practice and spread the teachings freed him. French teaching content. So-called Three Jewels. Security was unprecedented. Three Jewels are the three precious world. Because we clearly see that easily, gold, silver, money is not necessarily the deciding factor peace happiness, although it is likely to contribute to happiness. But sometimes it brings division, hatred, killing, causing suffering to another. Only the happy way of life, peace of mind can bring about true happiness and lasting over. "There is no greater happiness in the tranquility of the soul." Therefore, we can define a na that Buddhism is a way of making life meaningful. Refuge or learning Buddhism as well as the French heard of us today - the first major and most important base Buddhists we need to realize is Right Where life is probably true, good, nice that you to follow. And his own vow to follow. That is the vow to practice in the territory and gender - in other words how the five human goodness in humanity. So as before stated, must be a whole person before you become a Buddha (5 things to keep perfecting personality).

- The first personality: Aware that the network itself is the most precious capital. So I vow to protect their network itself carefully. No self-destructive things it by poisoning. I am determined to do honest, rational by taking to resolve suffering, taken from the heart to love all. I am determined not to kill, nor endorse the killing. No war, nor endorse the war.

- Manhood Monday: Aware that life is to have provided material for life. I am determined to create resources to support themselves by living hands, minds and your hearts. I am determined not to steal, nor endorse any form of theft. I honestly wish done by taking out wisdom and good fortune to benefit people, healthy world order, to bring happiness to the lives of this interdependence.

- Tuesday Personality: Aware that the pursuit of happiness is what mature people coming into the world have been longing. I am determined to protect happiness, not birth center adultery, promiscuity in order to protect your family happy, peaceful and safe society for our race.

I realize that language is the common property of all people, should wish to use words or Ideas come to life. Behavior to the practice loving speech, use words lightly, gently, lovingly, building, unity and harmony; to neutralize the internal misunderstanding. The voluntary implementation of right speech, language to make clear, healthy society, protect good voice for our race.

- Thursday Personality: Aware that Wisdom is the way to the foot of torch, good, fine. I am determined to always keep the static and in light of the soul. May not use drugs, and toxins that harm our body and mind as alcohol, tobacco, including preparation of products with chemicals that cause cancer and disease. I will abstain from the use of toxic products such as movies spiritual, books, tape contents are not healthy for body and mind, war, hatred leads to violence. May consume only useful products for body and mind, to protect the health of yourself, your family happy, healthy race, peaceful life.

It was five basic personality that each one of us must learn and practice. Being so, the new man predestined long-term survival on this earth.

Thus, talk about the meaning of the South - that is the field of sentient field of merit - the South is the sun not stiff like the East, nor bleak as the North - the South is the soft light and cool - definitely bad example for our healing. We specialize think, speak and do benefit for sentient beings, which is to create fields for his blessing - yourself cool, serene surroundings where people can come, air communications. This is our stage, Buddhists begin the collective direction of the Three Jewels and religious merit.

But finding a route lasting happiness, make it not stop there - the next step step. Of course is to take steps to have the indispensable first step.

* The third step, in the West, there are questions that: "South West, of course the ultimate sentient body problem" (In the West, because they are born so this is relative).

We, who have been and will struggle with life - how much experience the turbulent uncertainty of life - if hard to look back - it is easy to conclude that it is happy, as happy as could be tranquility. Because the soul has rarely been out ideas and worries, fear of life satisfaction. "Alice" keep traveling forever with visions of the future projected return amorphous or agitation deserve a chance to pity a sad story the other years, last month, or regret the moment of the fun was soon disabled the rarely repeated. Today, confusion, loss of land by the concept (disorientation, intended) or just repeated mechanically as a small department in a soulless giant social machine always rolling us into the operation of its extreme. We were soon back with his own life, even for a moment to enjoy the tranquility of his soul. So, after mature step "off evil good", the next steps "to keep the mind clean, quiet, calm, peaceful" - that is roughly, to be clear - the industry moves stop career step. Karma is the action of motor artifacts deep in the mind. And its power is the power to drive us away from this life through the lifetime will be no end. Of course everyone understands that each such a generator, it contains much suffering in misery rather than joy. So, freed of life and death, really is great fun as the principle Buddha ultimate cure. So, stop the execution of the will of artifacts makes clear, calm seen as method would lead to the cessation of suffering. Here we show that the mind is very important in our practice and decision happiness, our peace. Clearly, the only attitude acceptable within reach, in capacity, our ability to limit what they wish - so and decided to put our happiness - that is with me, standard to have fun is simple, light that is not so ambitious embrace everything. The Buddha called it the least education sufficiency. Of course, that's not the police department, is stopped, molded - on the contrary make us strive to create our happiness more and more qualities: parallel to the material comforts, life sense to be concerned, emotions must be converted to high-spirited, holy. Emotional transformation in the sense of how "professional finish"? That said, "the germ of evil with good" - that's probably treat its own dualistic nature of life is dependent arising. "So this should be the other." Evil thoughts with us now as well so if going into more of a psychological level. Knowing that with the words, work, thoughts of evil, contrary to the conscience itself even though no one can see, who listen, who knows - itself also has to face "court of conscience" alone in the dark depths, the tormented soul. What makes it so good? Of course, brings peace for themselves because not fear the consequences if I did not participate artifacts. But there is a truth then, psychology becomes hate and react aggressively, be agitated before the act of sin, evil - want to eliminate, destroy, purge a zero-tolerance these elements - which in many Nhu Quynh and pushed, we will gradually be difficult to recognize: for this reason, or other circumstances make it behave like that with a heavy heart like karma . The idea of ​​karma minute glory when winning is brilliant. But immediately after that, even in it, the fear is always implicit silently in the soul it is terrible. Knowing this, each one of us in common life together in the family, friends and society we have an attitude of tolerance, easier to accept each other more, and since then also easily transfer chemical modification each time a chance. Perhaps, if the threshold were not so understanding amongst people of good with evil forever clog style, will never open to the north bridge connecting humanity to life the beautiful blooms.

So in this sense the West - the middle way between good and evil, purity of mind to stop the creation of enterprise, freedom of life and death, has given us some very practical life lessons. The West is the setting sun. Let's make your mind the chaos subsided, illicit thoughts, so measured, jealousy, hatred - as long as the life of the mind that rogue only have the opportunity arose last day when we recognize the true face of it and it will be gone forever in our hearts - to make room for the universality of love, understanding sympathy is large, then at that time, we went to the ends of the second step This third "South West of course the ultimate sentient body problem". That burden has to down, from here back to the state no longer suffering mortal again.

But the path to Buddhahood is, in addition to "self" and "feeling forgiven, feeling happy consummation" - preaching of the students. So we continue to step foot Buddha.

* The fourth step, look to the north: "Thi Bac method, the living beings, self-barons have obtained A-la-Tam-tam-Temple Bodhi" (look to the north, as sentient beings that the Buddha market out of the five degenerations eternity by body Awakened achievements - and explaining the truth to all suffering beings).

Northern is the bleak cold, dark - for example where beings have not met the Three Jewels, the desire to keep on their mundane that create negative karma of suffering and wallowing in more mortal life, not know the escape. The Buddhas, the Bodhisattva - as Kinh said, was the one of degree, upholding the NEO lead us improve. But our karma heavy, and passion for sexual pleasure too heavy ceiling, obscuring temperaments, not getting your degree light to him. In real life, we see the phenomenon of telepathy between the two lovers together. Trade Me Mother child - I always think of my mother - the mother so far away but still have an emotional relationship intangible, which is critical for what happens is an invisible medium, the other also feel be. The Buddhas, the Bodhisattva always remember our injured student with immense compassion and equality. So when we were little to his mind - affordable graphics time of need and danger? ! So in this way - would like to emphasize the birth of the Buddha in the flesh of the body, then export from the results and certificates - to show us that you are doing a very friendly person. According to Buddhist teachings, the body is ideal for cultivation. Who of us also have the potential to become a Buddha - "Necessary organic beings during the Buddha nature" - such as the lotus in the lagoon, each person is a lotus. Buddha, Bodhisattva words, the sages are the lotus has emerged from the mud of life and death five desires, stained light of truth, beauty bloom blooming and soothe painful life. We are also showers, but not out of the country only. So with this said northern students because they sense that they are impermanent district. So the idea was clearly appears in the world of the Buddhas - a powerful demonstration of the Buddha which results in each of us, who also part-but hes worried that not practicing Buddha's teachings.

* Step five: "Thi down method, the sex of an allergic drug we tried" (look below, because they are born for every species ma).

The devil is nothing if not always do what our body and mind obstacles that hinder promotion practice, doing good of every one of us. Having said that, other obstacles. Let's drill comes to foreign obstacles. Let us look at our own internal code. That is a weakness that desire has not prevail against it, that arrogance, contempt, greed, jealousy, selfishness - that successful people also bring jealousy, she sees a world that does not stop the bullying , met the needy without knowing whether their share of giving extra strength ... All the stuff that was preventing us to do something to benefit someone, other than for their own benefit, so do not do a good job no matter how little the mind, we are forever in your prison century - hell, hungry ghosts, animals do not mean only where no further - We have a lot more that it is the mental state of consciousness we are burning anger. At that time, people, are things like enemies. Most people who suffer a lot of anger. That other is in hell burning hell heart - purple flushed ears, heart beating, blood pressure rises ... body and mind are both unpleasant feeling! ... Hungry ghosts, animals, too - also a state in which the mind is the bottomless greed, lack of intelligence, lack of reasoning - just act on instinct - just do what you want without thinking consequences. Here we see more clearly, once the refuge in the Three Jewels, turn to the wisdom, the compassion they have unleashed their own, to save themselves from the three maps of hell, hungry ghosts, animals that .

The devil also refers to the intensity beings increasingly difficult levels. So to manifest evil, demon king to convince it. So, we have seen in his temple the Text Area Demon King looked and sounded fierce anger, mouth spitting out fire to shock her heart of our photography - na folk call him evil - the head that Bo Guan Yin -slap - it's only motivation is rooted in great love. Only great love for the real prize of all wild life. I see guys do Wanderer labels labels stem from a lack misfortune to love from certain ones, and become good NEO also caught from a heart of love that the road of life.

But the lowly beings at the bottom, Buddhas, the Bodhisattva also not forget the temperaments mature species - should be step one step further.

* Step six: "Thi Thuong method, the beings, natural refuge of trying" (Look on the above, because they are born, made of sun shelter, people).

Experience has taught: "A legal mind cross gender specific." Four saints are in green flesh of our minds at all. Heaven, human beings too - is the realm of our minds. It is the state of mind in which we have so many good sublimated essence of myself - have tried, have control over the abject psychological realm is likened to the bottom like hell, hungry ghosts, animals, A-tu-la. The life that is always conscious that, as a life brought much joy to ourselves and others. However, this is not an immutable joy - achieved by the realization of the Buddha and the saints as a disciple. These are just the joy of the senses of feeling, ie pleasure by creating the illusion of ego inherent. So this is a temporary joy and, consequently, can fall back into the realms of suffering - even when there are unpleasant things happen. Infatuation ego is derived from the common denominator for the existence of three worlds, is the cause beings wallowing in six lines. Bodhisattva Buddhas present in all the realm was to be an example, to lead them away from the grim business of what I fin it. This meaning has been determined when the Buddha Ba-la-subjects are asked Buddha: "Will you be there to Korea, he would be required-that-she, he would be Da-clear, he will be the species people ". Buddha replied that he would not be money, is the need-it-three, as Da-deleted, human beings, but not for the deities of the contraband or the end, he could be devas with the contraband or the end, was cut off from the root ego, no longer reborn ... He may be needed-that-she is Da-cleared, and the people - but are people with gonorrhea or the total extinction.

It is meant deeds of the Buddhas, the Bodhisattva to exist throughout the realms of sentient beings. Here also we understand one thing: as long as we escape the ego completely, until then we become a Buddha - whether we're in any position, status whatsoever. Therefore, the final step:

* Seventh Step, Buddha said, "good heavens only down fall as an independent" (In heaven, the heaven is above all I just have).

As above, we can roughly understand that cause floating, up to six lines in the three worlds is the deep attachment of a self in the end our minds. But the true meaning of the claims that, in terms of awareness and practice, we can draw two meanings - it's true sense of the world all people and for the damping.

In this sense all-World Forum, an event that appears in the world as a most dignified rank, was the most supreme, unprecedented of the Buddha.

Anguttara economic ministries, Volume I, p.23: "A person, this the monks, as appears in the world, is an incomparable appearance, did not have you, there's no comparison, no similar , not to part, no parity, no parity set, the highest level of interspecies legs. person who it is? It is the Tathagata, A-la-drought levels Awakened. "

And Central Business 3, p.110, spoke to the ultimate reason of the Buddha: "There can be monks, this Ba-la-subjects, fully accomplished, fully all legal as Bhagavan, A-la-drought levels Awakened accomplished. brāhmaṇa Woman, Blessed is the one who started up the road has not been present before launch, making the path not previously known, say the path has not been said before, is the degree to understand, know about the direction and skillful. "

Between all the religions existing on this planet, the Teacher Thich-Ca Blessed voice was "dependent arising - selflessness" full of shocks - between the road to happiness is known by mankind , eightfold path that the Buddha is explaining the best way of holiness, perfection to bring us all to the brink of true happiness. That is the meaning of "unique", "unparalleled" in the marketing of Shakyamuni-form-ni Exalted.

With the meaning of all herd-The sentence also means that we are living by the death of one decides. The life of me how; happy or suffering; rich or poor; to or coward ... all because I decided. So after this Buddha taught that: "No parent, or who makes heaven and earth I noble or depraved, only the actions of oneself is noble or depraved only; make no other defiled or pure, but only by oneself is polluted or clean only. " (According to HT. Thich Thien Super in "The word Kamma in Buddhism").

That is the meaning of that Buddha spoke in verse: "In heaven, the sun only me is paramount." He wants to market to us that every act of right and wrong, good and evil, suffering or happiness ... in this life are caused by his work, himself decided to take his life. He was awarded the compassion for human self-determination among the voices from the mysterious power of divine ambiguity.

At this point, can conclude that: The lotus is a symbol of truth - the truth is real life - it's visible in the earthly sorrows and much of this corollary. It is a symbol of the spirit that animated type of Buddhism - which dialect commonly known as "residential real infection ceiling ceiling" - "the world cup Buddhist sense."

In summary, the Buddha's footsteps, each is also supported on a lotus flower, every step is a step in this life sen. It offers pure qualities, "life is not wet." Buddhists practice Buddhist teachings, each in his footsteps as he sen each step. Take the 7-step showers that we start a new life - "go in the world but not of the world". And right at the refuge or on the practice under the roadmap peace teachings are immediately available in every step of the Buddhists of us - every step firmly away peacefully on terminals fun. And joy will not only enjoy ourselves - the joy of the Buddha's teaching practice of Buddhists we can share with others, for all humanity. Because the value of truth and happiness are generally the same, correlation. Let's take smaller steps together to celebrate Vesak sen!
