YELLOW ROBES.

* Like-Like

The ancient family of today, oil Theravada or Mahayana, Tibetan oil or Vietnam, Korean or Japanese oil etc. ... when practicing the traditional ceremony, most or yellow robes. This is a very solemn dress uniform in front of the Great Buddhist monks and the public.

Robe had been historical Buddha Sakyamuni after enlightenment, one day he stood on the mountain overlooking this Tuc plots that farmers plow, he had the idea of ​​the legal regulations for the monks , using the excess cloth, woven braid, linking into the rectangular different lengths, like other fields, so that the layman a chance to bless the seed sown fields his vast endless fields. Since then, images of several pieces of gold robe back assembly has become an unforgettable image of the Indian masses in the morning tomorrow, monks go into alms and also from Buddhism which is transmitted through the Southern and Northern origin to where the ... Buddhism also entered into contracts to customs and practices of each region; should robes of gold has many other changes followed.

Read Tan Dai Tu District Tripitaka (the Vietnamese language) A Ham In the business we see that in the original image and to identify the daily work of the Lord Buddha as well as the position of disciple Him. His early morning, and static mass was located somewhere where Mango Garden swings or owner of a credit. He then went into the city for alms. If any meal is too early yet to visit him now a violation of or a Brahmin in order to dispel any questions, or false teaching them about their ascetic practices, such as is not compatible with morality. Someone listening to the refuge and then immediately Jewels and life over five precepts. Someone please ordained, a quiet person because of unclear meaning. Of course before that, most of these people are opposed Buddha.

The Buddha then goes on to beg in order class, whether rich or poor. This is also an opportunity for all candidates have the opportunity to direct donations, prostrate and in contact with the Buddha's Sangha. Today there any God or King For The invitation offerings from one to seven days, the Buddha silently accepted and early the next morning, fix him with y along Monks bowls, walking barefoot to the place were invited. Often invited the Buddha and the highest seat of the first disciples that sits class. Next are the benefactors and Buddhist monks prostrate, then bring water for washing hands before taking midday. When finished using, wash bowl clean, he sat up straight to the sermon and often Credits The meal offerings that day started a small stool to sit next to the Buddha's advice, as well as teach Extension tons Commandments .

In all the teachings, most of which contain compassion and wisdom, hardly showing any anger, since the Buddha's first know what it is. The media really love teaching, even reasonable, is undeniable. Because His wisdom to consider the disposition of his soi opposite; so every sentence; each of his letters were directed to other receptive to their golden teachings of the Buddha. On from kings, mandarins, Brahman; below to the courtesan, a prostitute, a blacksmith, farmer, etc. ... anyone who heard and felt joy and life to lead the Buddha's teaching institutions managed care, lust, anger and ignorance blow, the other wrong. The reason that people do have this harmful toxins, due to lack of pure precepts, lack of compassion for all creatures and lack of wisdom for introspection itself. The doctrine of the Buddha for those who are clothed in white gold or even mainly to back inside to their introspective rather than outward to criticize others. Because before you want to save people, to know herself before swimming.

Business In A Ham Buddha very practical lessons for both home and export country; to devout laymen and people outside the Brahmin. Texts such basic practical, students who have to listen through your mind mind, so that sense of shame and self-care which religious path to enlightenment virtues more.

One day the Buddha went to the auditorium and sat on the seat has prepared and told the monk that:

"Hey monk! I will speak for seven measures any rotten teacher, the teacher listen, listen, think twice. "

The white Buddhist monk:

"Yes Dear, O Buddha. We want to hear. "

Buddha told the monks:

"Hey monk! any rotten seven measures are:

- A - Often meaningless discussion meeting true, along the large and small, that dharma is not degraded.

- Two - On the harmony, not left upon the glass, along the large and small, that dharma is not degraded.

- Three - Weighing methods, understanding taboo, not contrary to statute, the great little harmony, but not degraded the Dharma.

- Four - If there are any monks are capable of households, have more knowledge, should be worshiped, their harmony, large and small, that dharma is not degraded.

- Year - Mindfulness households mind, taking the Honor to be first, the small and big harmony, which is not degraded the Dharma.

- Friday - From the morals, not run by state education, the great little harmony, but not degraded the Dharma.

- Seven - Before his people then, not greedy fame, young and old time harmony, which is not degraded the Dharma. " (From the A function I page 54)

If we parse out each of the seven points of the Buddha has taught the Buddhist monk who was at that time and compared with today, have made our point clear, but the point does performed.

The first point - that the Buddha often pagan gatherings violation or even usually, but said multiplication means the non-story market, such as: war stories, about girls, about eating, about trade, about asceticism like this or there ... This is the real story right. So do not want to make the Chief Justice on degraded and under each other in harmony, the monk must not do such things can be done on the new teachings of the Buddha is. That is to say truth, suffering, bring happiness to people, not the goofy things of the world. Thus the Chinese Son The Regulations also teaches the novice in the law that:

"Pure data from the beginning, Dan chatted theory complex multiplication device space; ... "Disrespectful upper, middle and lower coordinates as Brahmin clerical gatherings".

Meaning: "Or the bunched together, the table talk always about the world can do, ... low, not high honor, like the Brahmin gathered together chatting. "

Setting of the Buddha 2500 years after death, we express full thoughts and virtuous behavior are reasonable and each of us should look at ourselves.

The second point - It is clear that in a community without the high and low, by the lower particle, where she stayed, it was like a meeting of the pagan market. If no imprinting on the right under law will be difficult to endure.

The third point - Be respectful of the Buddha Dhamma. Who understand the law, ie he understands Buddhism; who understand the Buddha, he will understand the law. It is a legal Duyen Sanh. Must follow the rules and not contrary to the statutes of the Buddha had taught. Those who go outside the spirit of discipline, that he will not be protected.

The fourth point - In societies from past to present, too, who have intellectual energy and compassion for all creatures he or she must always be respected and appreciated. It is not evil, but always highly praised as well as uphold the good. There are not as new Dharma degraded and new sizes together in harmony.

Thursday Scores - Each person will be responsible for upholding the idea while walking, standing, lying, sitting. In his fourth posture and always keep it awake devas and human beings will protect and honor. By contrast, the Chief Justice will not survive long.

Point Friday - The monk who is not governed by thirst. Because love is the bond, is salted; increasingly taking on more and more thirsty thirsty attack has no end. So to know the monks stopped in time. Otherwise, the Dharma will be difficult to endure.

Saturday Scores - Must reverence the elders, then to her; decided not mind greedy fame. Because fame is the world's environment, not of a monk. The purpose is to practice freedom of birth and death; but not for the good care of the world. Failure to do so, the Dharma will not last long.

Read A Ham (In A Ham, Ham Central Asia, and Journal Ekottaragama A Ham), we find the teachings often repeated from one to three times and stories not told by the Buddha himself, but by Sariputta or listening to him A Na Law and the teachings of the Buddha states said they heard back to General. The reason for repetitive work such as:

Superior capacity who, when listening to the upper position and understand, understand and then experience the results immediately. But middling middle position who finished listening to understand, but the understanding was not enough to experience the results; should have said two or three times. But he who listens to the lower base finished lower position does not understand, but if you understand the mind of the Buddha also misunderstand; so to speak back to three times as many more.

Besides the Buddha's teachings to undergo five new maturation phase, is clever.

The first phase such as new milk obtained from cows themselves, still raw, to be used immediately. This is like a new person on the threshold of the Path.

The second phase is called Christ. That is milk that has been refined, began smoothly, like the law after hearing began fasting Buddha, precepts, healing.

The third stage is called Christ birth. This means that milk was processed smoothly, soft and fragrant. The implication is that those who practice the Buddha's teachings have come to a natural, not forced, constrained.

The fourth phase is called Shu Christ. This means that he has matured milk, excellent; no blame, no where to be removed. The implication is that the Buddha was the reason cause and effect, crime ... all blessed back to attack his religious career paths.

Fifth stage is the final stage is for them to call. So they are milk, but milk quality has become sweet, healthy, self-sustenance is. This is fully mature stage of the religious freedom, just like silk already formed. He is a silkworm silk, mulberry, cocoon, pupa, but silk is the result of the phase was filtered as above and milk here too. If the renouncer or in the religious teachings of the Buddha which ardently practiced and smoothly as the phase of milk and silk as above, one of us would have been the fruits of itself is great great.

Pictures of the lay of the monks in the Southern Buddhist origin still retain their traditional Buddhist lifetime. For example, in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Ceylon, Burma, etc ... when the Lord King, queen, passing by the Great Spirit Monks, Monks do not have to stand and welcome, welcome, but in contrast This again shows the signs of reverence, kneel or bend down low to pay homage to Buddhist monks. This is a beautiful picture that the Southern country was keeping him from the tradition of Lord Buddha in the world today.

While the origin of Mahayana Buddhism no less denatured. There are monks and nuns are responsible for the position of subrogation. So when the senior officials than before, to welcome, and must offer clear as well as the attitude of a respectful subordinates. Thus the image of a yellow robe liberation fighters no longer retains the original value again. If we do not know turn to the rule. Indeed this work will lead to the later generations inherit going?

Each month we announced slapped 2 times increase or seasonal retreat after a holiday suicide. This is the opportunity to Buddhist monks, nuns look back myself to end integrity of body and mind and lead efforts in preserving the body's network wisdom of the monastic life. Since 1995 or so have the needs and impulses to monks and nuns living in Vietnam Overseas established organizations and unions to do what's up just as has been presented; not has a different meaning; to improve and strengthen internal Sangha. This is the best picture to connect the teachings of the Buddha transmitted the ancient to the present day and the achievements that are expressed through the settled course, Bodhisattvas; the key learning Buddhism was held at the European as well as a landmark record of the history of Buddhism in Vietnam Overseas as follows:END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY BACH LIEN HOA.( TAM THANH ).MHDT.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).29/4/2012.
