MESSAGE OF THE BIRTH OF BUDDHA.

Saturday, 14 April 2012

 

On the full moon on 25 centuries ago, have a great and appears in the world. It was Prince Siddhartha Ta, then the effect is Buddha Shakyamuni

He was born to supply the King, in 563 BC. His life from birth until death is a life very beautiful and meaningful. He went into the past, but virtue and wisdom remain forever with people and life. Today is Buddha's birthday we need to review a couple of things in the Buddhist scriptures to understand the implications the introduction of the Teacher, volunteer effort to imitate him always on the way of self-forgiveness self-interest. According to legend birth to seven steps, each with shower, one hand only air, land only one hand, he read the verse as follows:

Heavenly galaxy.
Duy fall as an independent
Necessary earth
element Students aged patients

Roughly translated:

Heaven and the sky
Only me, above all
in the world All
Property birth, aging, death disease

The above image is significant very deep. Prince Siddhartha why I go seven steps without more or less? The number seven say anything? Regarding time, it is common to have three of their past, present, future. Space shall have four main East, West, South, North. The concept of time and space, is actually just the offspring of delusion, not truth. So Prince photos seven steps symbolize He transcends time and space, no longer bound in the conventional relative of man.

On the lotus, all Buddhists know a great feature of it, is rising from the mud which then radiate rose fragrance. Lotus in the mud without getting muddy, muddy from being polluted.

"Between the filthy dump
where the lotus bloom that
pleases people do ... "

The prince, too, was born on bare place for employees to benefit sentient beings, but not caught, contaminated mud memory by five desires. He read four lines of verse has some misunderstandings. Buddhism is the self, why are assigned to promote the "we" too much like his? If you read the next two verses, we see profound meaning in that shirt. All beings are four things no one escape suffering as birth, aging, illness, death, even in the realms of the devas (heaven) or human beings (under heaven). Only "we" is, above all, because "we" have escaped the constraints. Try asking all the appearances of the world, what is not dominated by impermanence? There is birth then there is death, there are forms that must be destroyed, even the body has 38 good and 80 general beauty of Prince. Therefore the "we" here is definitely not damaged ego of his tangible property, which is what "Chon-self '. It is mind feet, Buddha nature, is a pure heart, a Buddhist knowledge, who is feeling the heart, is original face ... It was a multitude of names because of the nature it has no name. It has no form, can not be destroyed. It should cover all things super-Vietnamese across both space and time. All functions are self this spirit, no more no less, the Buddha realized and fulfilled life with it, so he became a Buddha, and we should just forget about it since forever propelled into rebirth.

Understand this, we find ourselves is somewhat comforting. If we sat in meditation, calming the mind without delusion error is clearly leading at that moment we are sitting on the lotus. If we go step by step meditation, the mind to dwell in the present moment without hanging on to the law, then every step we also have lotus feet. And if we are always diligent, gradually wash your hair every five desires dust, in life without being defiled by the sense, then at some point, a sudden intuitive flashes light up the darkness of ignorance from How doikiep will no longer be dispelled traces.

A function in the economic structure:

"Tomb of the only living beings, an extraordinary man appeared on earth, for the benefit of the many, out of compassion, for the good, the benefit and happiness of devas and mankind" . Why Buddha is called "a living"? Here we must understand the word "sentient beings" in the sense, of the many legal forms that the compositing. Thus, the general body of the Buddha, though the beauty and good generals, as well as fake by the four elements of creation, as well as impurities and impermanence people. Therefore he is also human. as living beings other than us, but since he is an extraordinary man, a being unique. Because he is a being not only greed, hatred and delusion, no defilements and afflictions. Because he is a man though born workers place the ceiling, but liberated from all the five temptations of sex objects. The appearance of the Buddha noble purpose, is for the benefit and happiness of gods and men. His life is a shining example of selfless, to bring peace and ultimate truth presented only for living beings.

-193 Dhammapada, Buddha says: "The Tathagata is hard to see, not everywhere. Where does the Buddha was born there all good." If you think the Tathagata Buddha has 32 good minister, called the Tathagata of that, it was very difficult to come by. A Buddha in Sri Ca? The years passed away in 2500, so far we have not seen one another Buddha was born. But if you understand the spirit of Diamond Sutra, Tathagata ie not coming from nor going, non-identity that is non-general, invisible intangible things, when we judge meditation, silent mind that every location, the He has the money Tathagata. A concept of awareness, the Buddha was born, since Buddhism is enlightenment. A crazy idea in the sense they run the Buddha. When the Tathagata was born own mind, that is at heart an insight, it is clear where the news was quite peaceful.

In the Dhammapada - 182: "The human birth was difficult. To life even harder. To listen to Dhamma is difficult. To meet the Buddha was born is very difficult." Indeed, the body is made difficult because the human world, including Europe's four times, while the other realms of hell, hungry ghosts, ... But the difficulty here is difficult to cultivate the mind, because usually in the too happy place (like heaven) or too miserable (like hell), they had fewer conditions are prompted to advance practice. But human beings are not too happy, not too miserable, sometimes having the ups and downs in life or suffer loss, there are opportunities for people to see clearly or impermanence of causality, which wish to follow the path the Buddha taught.

In the above four hard, to see the Buddha was born as the most difficult. In a world that never had two Buddhas at the same time. Only when the teachings of the Buddha first of all tradition, the Buddha after birth. At present, whether in time degenerate, we do not witness the reincarnation of Buddha applications, but we still hear the Dharma, is still contemplating his face through image. So, if anyone claiming to be Buddhist, who lecture to others, or spreading rumors about the upcoming meeting Longhua, Buddha was born ... it is lies, love or life, to serve a certain dark intentions. The application market of the eternity of the Buddha is a rare event, is the increment property (ever). But when we ask, He appeared on earth to do? In the Lotus Sutra, Buddha says: "The Buddhas appear in life only because of a belt of causes and conditions: The market for imported beings realize the Buddha wisdom." The Buddhas of the ten Hoai is only for beings like that, everyone has the wisdom Buddha, or Buddha nature, equal, not equal another. Since then, will recognize and be living with their own Buddha nature a consummation.

In the Brahma Net Sutra Volume 1, Buddha preached: "Behold monks! Body of the Tathagata exists, but what makes it led to an extraordinary life was cut off. When the body of the Tathagata exists, the heavenly beings and men can see her body. When dissolution of the body generally, the devas and humans can not see. " When the Buddha was on earth, good general body 32 and 80 of his beauty is a good condition and easy to teach and transform near the base of inferior beings. Because bending the sexual nature of beings, He must manifest itself as sharp. But despite his family survived, but the driving force behind industry leader hindquarters life has collapsed. The craving has created the karma that leads to a different life, with the right message and press the corresponding y. Applicants incarnation of Buddha, because there are so formless devas and human beings can see. When his body was damaged, the Buddha returned to the formless dharmakaya so nobody could see him. All of us have such formless dharmakaya, the problem is that we have recognized and practice how to live with it, post secret every minute.

We've reviewed over the meaning of the birth of the Buddha, to see clearly that the presence of the Blessed, our religious teacher, is a rare occurrence in life. With each season to Khanh's birthday, a Buddhist pagoda, listen to your teacher recalls the life and virtues of his noble, we know that He has gone through countless lifetimes of spiritual practice, the last market Prince Siddhartha is One in A? The after effect is a Buddha Sakyamuni. He was a great men, has left an image never fade in the hearts of the Buddhists all over the world the four seas. Because his life is too great and beautiful, so over the years, so many people have used all forms of culture to celebrate the whole truth, perfection, perfection of God. How many people wish to imitate him, forget to serve others, to sacrifice personal happiness to care for the happiness of many people. The messenger of the Tathagata has delivered a message of the Buddha went on his life, making people understand the nature of life is impermanent, suffering, thereby urging the people early in his teaching practice for further enlightenment and liberation.

Today, once again celebrate Buddha's birthday, we bring all the specified threshold heart and bowed to him. We feel very fortunate to new coast was made ​​man, was imbued with the milk solution, the monks practice guidelines, which do you lead with the good kind. We pray remember his image as a new step on lotus birth, to imitate his step at peace and relaxed on the uncertainty of life. Five aggregates but in our world, but be aware not to rise up mud pollution of the five desires. From there, we will contribute to a flow of air blown into his life, making everyone peace and happiness. This is the only way to reward hard Thanked of the Buddha's glass is extremely precious to us.
