SIGNIFICANCE RETREAT.BUDDHIST MONKS AND NUNS.( 3 MONTHS RETREAT ).

 
The interdependence.
The word "retreat" comes from the Sanskrit - Varsika, Varsa; Pali language-Vassa (rainy season means; vassavasa: the rainy season retreat); Han language-House Retreat, Retreat, Dance, House Coordinates , Lower coordinates, Kiet Ha, Coordinates Greece, Best Week Lower Nine, Nine Week Gansu, An Cu Kiet mode ...
The Law According to Four Futures Ma San Additional Options The number 4, Retreat, explain the meaning as follows: body and mind are still called the police, regulation time in a place called settlement.
According to the law Four 37, An extremely easy (University 22, tr.630b) An predestined Buddha regulatory settlement is due to a number of monks, especially group travel six monks during the rainy season, causing people to complain "The monk Thich wandered in cold weather, both hot and rainy season. Even the annual pagan wanderer still fixed in 3 months in the rainy season, when birds nest on the tree lived well fixed in the rainy season. But he regained the favorite monk traveling in the rainy season, the position he has trampled grass, that's harming the lives of insects ".
At that time the Blessed One was staying at Savatthi, in Jeta-his residence in his garden Anathapindika (under the General Products, plan, write-rainy season the Buddha at Rajagaha, in Bamboo Forest monastery ) the monks heard the complaints brought him disparaging submitted to the Buddha. Buddha heard this, he chided monks group of 6 people and that he taught: "Behold the Bhikkhu, to settle in the rainy season. This is the second time to settle. Time before the full moon day of May next Asalha, time after time on the day of the month following the full moon. Bhiksus, within three months of Lent should not travel. Do you go out (if there is no good reason), commits Dukkata (Break settled). "
Settled meaning
- Through the interdependence already tells us that "An populate the rainy season" is the religious traditions of the religion of that time, tradition has it that the ancient Brahmins in India. The censure of the Buddha proved that although he has not settled the regulatory season, but the saints and monks living increase sufficiency, strict precepts of religion are not going in the rainy season, because it has become a common practice, a practice common to the monks of the Buddhist sects outside of that time.
Religion in the scriptures (see Field A function 5 (General I, tr.32b) have recorded stories told by the Buddha. In a past life long ago, when the Buddha is bodhisattva action, now he makes a his courtiers called mesmerizing, be respected. his courtiers said that he has ever seen Brahma (religious teachers of Brahmanism). But the reality is mesmerizing not seen Brahma. Classical Religion think for yourself, according to legend recounts the honorable rank, if anyone virtues tend to elevate the practice for 4 months during the rainy season will be face to face with Brahma. Therefore Sweden Sun King for permission to rest for 4 months in the rainy season Slowly elevate man. As expected, after 4 months is mesmerizing an audience with the same Brahma and was Brahma himself for moral teaching.
Through the above story shows us that the rainy season retreat in addition to avoid trampled grass plants, insects, it is a tradition, a practice has since ancient times, as it helps to cultivate Dr. spiritual progress, achievement certificate. The French experience of mindfulness that during the rainy season retreat, the monks except for travel and urination, and he often sat cross-legged in a place to practice meditation.
- In addition, the retreat during the rainy season it carries a different significance, which is the expression of the spirit of harmony living in a monastic abode. This represents over four stories written in the Law section 37, Tu Tu enhancement (University 22, pp. 637c) "At that time the Buddha residing at Sravasti, in the garden Anathapindika. After 3 months of the rainy season retreat, a great number of monks at La to virtually turn off his visit. Blessed routinely ask their lives like in 3 months to settle. They presented to him their daily activities. Accordingly, the monks of this convention together during Lent that nobody spoke to anybody anything. If there is the need that people need to help others are only allowed a sign not allowed to say. This activity is common among groups of monks that are known to many as 3 groups of monks family favorite: Venerable A-Na-law, Nan-Thread and venerable venerable Kim-Pi-La. The monks when the Bat-Na-Victim-Xa, when the Sa-in this-God and Buddha always praised. But in the case of the monk-Tat-La in this sentence, instead of being praised Buddha, the Buddha had been rebuked. He said the monks were ignorant of this, living is so hard but it is perfect peace, is like the enemies to live in a country. The mission of the Catholic monks have sex with each other is, just point and encourages each other, can not live like the dumb people together. "
Then we see the same way of living, have praised the Buddha when he chided, although he always praised the quiet life away from the hustle and bustle place. However, not that that's where the monks lived in separate external Sangha. Sangha is pure harmony Buddhist circuit network, the soul, is the vitality of the law. So, in addition to the three ways of learning practice, plus Comics universe must be built, strengthened and promoted in the 3 months to settle.
The Buddha was the level the Level Sense, but he still meditate every day and still 3 months to settle the rainy season as they increase. Business Travelers in A Ham 2, Hanh Buddhist scriptural version 39, has a positive record of the Buddha and his disciples settled practice, and Sangha Department of file-la-economic monitoring, summer, has fallen list of places where the Buddha retreat over a period of 45 years.
Read the sign of Buddhist stories we see on the Buddha of the Buddhists, or individual, or collective ones in Kith, the same village, where each letter invite monks of abode his retreat, offering to make tu field of merit, to be close to good knowledge of legal learning and practice the. Monks stay where it is due to end dues body and mind, cultivate nail-Property About 3 months to settle so many saints who attain results to preliminary results from Da Complete the A-La-Han, and lay Join also witness to each A-Na-function results.
Regulations on residential security. -
Accompanied By law 28 years it is ordained: monks, nuns, consciousness-delete-ma-ni, a novice, novice nuns must be settled. According to the Law and novice monks settled the same spot, a nun, consciousness-delete-ma-ni, and Sadi Ni settled practice the same place. Enter product and University of case recommendation in Pali Vinaya rules: do not settle the monks crimes work (Punching fetters la-Pali: Dukkata also offer to settle out).
According to An event that settlement, in the quarterfinals of the 37th law provisions on who might have settled as follows: settled under the tree, in a small loss, in caves, hollow tree, a boat, where villages, or may relied on the buffalo, who cut firewood ... In Law Part Five talk about French colonists An regulations where prohibited: residential security where there is no rescuer, between mounds of code, where no tree museum, houses thatched with animal skins, barren place.
Time to settle-
The business-law agreed to settle starting from the first day (full moon) Asalha.
- According to Xuanzang (Western Region) and Fa Hien (Fa Noi South Sea Stories Sign Regulations), the day of (full moon) of month Asalha equivalent to May 16 according to the Chinese calendar. But residents on An Mahayana tradition is April 16 may be due to lunar influence economic Vu Lan. According to this full moon day in July is Suicide, so to lower fetters on April 16.
- According to the Theravada Buddhist tradition day of determination (full moon) of month Asalha is June 16th lunar month. So Theravada Buddhism retreat held on June 16 and ends on September 16th lunar month.
So if, based on the principle of "retreat in the rainy season", this tradition has its specific shortcomings. If it determines that the primary goal of the retreat is to cultivate spirituality cultivated About-The-Wisdom, the time to settle in the tradition is no longer a critical issue, in the spirit which some countries like China, Japanese and western regions and localities have legal "Eastern Retreat." According to the National Futures Na Dew, University of the Western Lands I, December 16 is the start "Eastern Retreat," full moon day in March next year is the end date.
An quarters of categories-there are two types
a / Residential Security check: started on 4.16
* The residential security: starting in the period 04.17 - 15.05
b / An Hau settlement began on 5.16
In short, the meaning of the retreat is a time for monks and nuns in place over dues body and mind cultivate morality, cultivate diligently three ways of learning, which is taken to St. predestined results, it is the only Buddhist circuit network maintenance. Since the law was nourished and developed a strong, rooted in the life of purity and harmony of the community and nuns. In that spirit we can say:-day we rejoice over dues monk body and mind, of practice About-Ding-Tue, 3 months An enthusiastic residents, the date that the Dharma will flourish and who will seek to attribute beliefs to seek enlightenment liberation.
