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. END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY BACH LIEN HOA.( TAM THANH ).NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).MHDT,11/4/2012.
