Thich Vien Giac

---

Dutiful to parents is a good virtues extolled by all, he is regarded virtue as a platform for all virtue, is an important factor to build happy life for individuals, families and society.

According to Buddhism, practice filial piety is the path of liberation of the Dharma, the Buddhist path. No dutiful to their parents can not be called a true Buddhist is. Because Buddhists must practice good behavior in the business that "patience", said: "The supreme good is even curious, very evil evil is disloyalty." Thus, signaling is the essence of the Buddhist and became good tradition of the Buddhists in Vietnam in particular and Asians in general.

The concept of Buddhist piety is expressed clearly through two popular books Business and Business is Business Vu Lan Gratitude to Parents, not the Buddhist sutras do not know, usually recited on the occasion of July, the feast Vu Lan.

Presentation on the Buddhist concept of hospitality, we rely on two books for the purpose of this business:

1.Tim understand the word "understand" in Buddhism.

2.Lam clear sense of hospitality in business and economic method of signaling.

3.Qua see that the movement of Buddhist point of taste and common sense perspective.

First of all, we would like to mention economic VU-LAN-TANK.

A.KINH VU-LAN-TANK

I.NOI MENU BUSINESS: consists of 3 parts

A.

Moggallana of him, an outstanding disciple of the Buddha, after enlightenment, found his mother living in the realm of hungry ghosts, miserable body overwrought. He used his divine power, put a bowl of rice to give to his mother. His mother was rice, greed arises, the left hand cover the bowl, hand loading and food, but rice has turned out not to mouth the fire, should not be eaten.

Two.

He Moggallana Buddha taught methods for saving her from suffering ghosts. Buddha taught that, to resort to the power of our collective growth can save his mother. On July fifteenth monks focus is on suicide after 3 months of calm retreat, please repair shop offering items monks, because monks pray uncle, his mother escaped the suffering. He would obey Moggallana Buddhist teachings, practice signaling method that should have saved her.

3.

His Buddhist Moggallana allow for later Buddhist practice signaling method by offering parents Vu - Finland - Bon grace to repay their parents. Buddha praise and approval. Since then, the day of full moon in July signaling the Buddhist tradition.

II. Y 'MEANING OF ECONOMIC METHODOLOGY signaling:

A. Y 'means rice bowl of fire:

Mother insisted Section Contact're living in the realm of hungry ghosts by human greed four cropping enterprises, the results correspond to human greed is destitution. Discrimination Khuddaka Industry said: "If the four cropping greed, generosity never know stingy by nature to cling to their own property, if people will be reborn as a poor needy" ...

In Buddhism, the flame image is often used to refer to the power of dark forces like greed, hatred and delusion ... often called the fire of lust, fire away, fire si ... Because of greed four cropping enterprises, Items related to his mother to live in miserable ghosts. Because greed is still strongly dominated her mind, so after receiving a bowl of rice, she hastily left hand cover the bowl, eating for fear of picking the right hand others stealing their rice bowl. The selfish greed that sparked so strong, like a covered flame flare up of her mind to make her see the fire in his rice bowl, the fire here is the fire of the mind rather than the outside fire . Whether the rice bowl of fire does not go too hard she was enjoying a delicious bowl of rice, by retail with four cropping psychology of greed, she ate in a hurry, worry fear, swallow and swallow rice land only.

On the other hand, as said by way feel the law of karma, karma when hungry, the tasty rice cultivation despite still see the fire as usual, just as a person has made foolish career, despite having the book play or cough, they also regarded as waste paper only, by individual workers and enterprises to similar results.

His mother was at Category Contact not because of his health he did not fully conquer and transform the flame of his mother's part, or in other words, miracles can not delete the law of karma. The fire appeared where they must kill in it up she has created her own new flame is extinguished the fire.

2. Y 'pay means the monks pray :

The Buddha taught his method to save her mother Moggallana is to rely on spiritual power of the monks of the day commit suicide. it speaks of the collective strength always wins over power characteristics of individuals, whether that person as great as the Buddha.

After three months retreat, on July fifteenth, the award ceremony preparations to commit suicide. The word "suicide" The Pali word is optional PAVARANA mean, that is optional for the monks to criticize his mistakes by monks see, hear or think they know where to repent, because repentance should import friendly pure mind is the great merit. This is how condescending ask only error, similar to the Confucian saying is KHIEM genitalia, perhaps so that the power to rely idea of ​​monks in prayer focus on gradually rather than to any other day.

With a pure mind power, full of peaceful virtues of compassion, his monks in radial planes suffering of hungry ghosts, stream of consciousness from the best monks form a major energy source has a calming effect cool the hot environment of the realm of hungry ghosts, like a cool breeze blowing through the sultry summer afternoon, making his mother's heart Category Contact is lighter and more calm, thereby facilitating Her kindness arise, are transformed her own karma, which changes her environment. Besides his mother, Section Contact to be liberated, that all people living in that environment also inherits a cool wind from his mind, and if they arise, the good will can release the same. Often the impact of external changes can the human mind, especially for those who have not mastered his mind. When pressing live in oppressive circumstances, our people become grumpy rude, cruel .. etc. ... When changing circumstances favorable pleasant, cool .. etc. ... the human mind is comfortable , more conscious, and therefore easy to realize the common sense thing. Also on that rule, when the energy from the projection center toavao hot realm of hungry ghosts, temporarily suspend coolness and pain, hunger Moggallana of his mother and the other ghosts, seconds minutes that have created opportunities for students and wisdom of her own rescue.

In summary, the focus will of the monks in suicide is not clear on the law of causality, not directly salvation of sinful beings, but it only works for grace, creating favorable conditions for beings of goodwill arising on their own. Goodness of each person can only save themselves.

6. section ends and circulation :

1. Buddha morale and more.
2. Mass Buddhist vow obedience training.
3. Business is Business Named Parent Newspaper Publication.

II. Y 'MEANING SIGNALS AND METHOD FOR ECONOMIC PRESS HIEUTRONG Gratitude to Parents:

1. Y 'definition of the economic interdependence
3. :
5. Economic interdependence of the image begins with a pile of dry bones, is a powerful image to impress the reader, the image that says the concept of piety and widely heralded a special signaling methods Buddhism, unlike the conventional notion signaling.
   For Buddhism, all sentient beings in samsara the endless cycle. In ITIVUTTAKA said : " Dong bones of a person through many lifetimes in a cycle, can tap with such a mountain . " The life and death repeatedly generator was back on the road to rebirth how is the flesh of every being. Based on that vicious cycle of soul, the Buddha taught: " One sees all beings is not none of the other parent, or in the past, or present, or future " . So see a pile of bones that relate to their loved ones bones is not uncommon for the Buddhist teachings.
   According to reincarnation and the law of dependent origination, then the concept of parents no longer restricted within the small family again. With insight is the infinite space and time infinity, all sentient beings have been parents, relatives of each other's relatives. With the same system exists interlaced dependent arising, Buddhism does not promote the acknowledgment of the parents but also extend gratitude and grace national newspapers and all social beings. Although the concept of parents extensively in doing so but only mention the parents of our current, all objects that the children must repay intensive filial grace.
6. Y 'means the parents of the economic merit
8. :
10. The students thanked the nurturing parent and child to introduce life is undeniable. Parents always love their children, to sacrifice their lives for their children moral children is fun, is the hope of parents, so when it comes to parents is to speak of merit. Vietnam folk have said: " The father as a mountain, that the mother as the source of flowing water " . In the Buddhist texts Mahayana and Theravada are promoting parental acknowledgment. Business increased Chi says: " There are two kinds of people, these monks , is said to be unable to repay it mom and dad . " Or in teaching Maha Episode: " At the time there is no Buddha, ie parents worship worship Buddha " . Parents here is synonymous with the Buddha, which showed highly pious Buddhist how.
    We also know that some parents do not even look to their children, even hated children, but that's just an isolated case. Most parents loving their children, that love is expressed outside clearly, that the sacrifice of everything for you. True love always be expressed by the sacrifice. Business gift parents report refers to the sacrifice for our children and of parents toward children, the joy of the happy, the sad sad child , In 10 of the grace of faith parents have clearly shown that with compassion. The very moving prayer and conquered hearts as: "Extraction of sweet regret, do not swallow bitter troubles ... As long as the wealthy, from starving mother" (Article 4)
    "She is wet place, lifting the dog warm, dry breasts lo hunger, his hands covering frost wind, love, sleep forgotten, all favored the cold, I just wanted peace, she does not pray for peace" ( Article 5)
    "I kind of land is more favorable, the sky father strictly virtuous, high grace thick protective parents to calculate, no indemnity without eyes and nose, not hate crippled limbs, birth from the womb, children who change labor trade" ( Article 6)
    "The distant road, follow the ball womb, not ha day, temporarily forget how early evening, I remember crying like chimpanzees, can corrupt the memory business ... (Article 8)
    "I more than hundred years old, still love you eighty, sex is the only reasonable last breath" (Article 10)
    Sacrifice for their children in doing that already mentioned, there are only limited expression comes from the infinite compassion. Because love of parents towards their children is infinite, we can not meet there. Even if I practice the great merit as mentioned in the business is not paying be considerate of their parents faith. Because children can do what, for our children's parents can not match the hearts of parents towards their children, just as our country folk have a saying: "I love you marine lake to the village, the months of the day love you. " So, when referring to the thanks his parents, the business that are difficult to pay off well, is based on the child's mind for parents is limited. It is a psychological law forever.
11. Signaling method in economic
13. :

In addition to the signaling method also serve the material and spiritual comfort for the parents which everybody knew, Business Report Publication mention how special signaling Buddhist Dharma is introduced to his parents unless the original roots of suffering, there are three methods mentioned:

1. Advised parents to practice Dharma
3. :
7. In the 'Anguttara He says: "Those who reward by foster parents, offering money, material possessions, they never could eat enough to meet her parents. But these monks, who for parents do not have faith Tam said, are encouraged to have faith Tam said, for parents living wrong sex, it's encouraging to right, starting with birth parents greed, they encourage giving, for with the wrong parents are encouraged to right view, for such, these monks, is to make full and adequate reparation for his father and mother. "
   According to Buddhism, suffering is real ignorance, greed, hatred and delusion that is the cause of chronic pain from generation to generation. Only Chief Justice, only the father's wisdom to help the suffering meloai except root.
   Report to parents with physical and emotional conventional measures is not perfect, because sometimes for reasons of material, can make his parents sin increased, increasing greed as the old used to say "human greed insatiable." material or the feeling of physical pleasure only adds hungry and never satisfied, so the pain never cease to be.
   Buddhists see the depth of karmic cause and effect process should encourage parents to practice good behavior, creating opportunities arise for parents to transfer more of good karma evil report, his parents built a life to ensure happiness in the present and future.
8. With his parents practiced the pure precepts, and giving benefits to the human and social
10. :
14. The good practice measures to preserve human life as moral, expanding our charity, actively help the good people. First of all there as an exemplary way for parents to create the effect of the good grace to strengthen and consolidate the good will of their parents. I recommend that parents practice dhamma that myself do not practice the dhamma is my recommendation would take effect. Moreover, the practice of good behavior, the child always merit for parents is to use its power of good will toward parents, it works to support parents of good growth.
    On the other hand, the relationship between psychological cuacha respective parents and children, very delicate and special. Sympathetic consciousness flows between parents and children are easily influenced by each other. So the ethical behavior of our very affecting parents, as mentioned, the female is fun, is the hope of parents, children, parents are spoiled and do your child's liking . Depending upon child psychology is good ground to sow the seeds of the solution for parents with good behavior of their language.
15. Propagation of pious thoughts for everyone
17. :

Propagation of pious thoughts for everyone is an additional method required for the above method. Its first effect is to increase aerobic power of mind themselves, are often present, as well as the curious psychological psychology are incurred and other conditions exist, so if we do not facilitate heat often with appropriate conditions, long-term psychological taste faded, we can say: "Out of sight out of mind" . So spread the pious thought, first of all effective strengthening of the human mind aerobic routine.

On the other hand, as noted Buddhist concept that all beings apart from their parents repay their greedy parents today, Buddhists also have signaling to their parents for generations by the indirect. Propagation of pious thought for the children to learn and practice the correct method of signaling the Dharma, bringing benefits to all those fathers and mothers in society. Then develop a basic ethical foundation for human society, taste is a psychological mind taking civilization and culture. Propagation of filial piety will be a good cultural traditions, to social conditions for building human happiness.

III. CONCLUSION

On July fifteenth, signals, their parents, have become good traditions of Buddhism, from the elite disciples of the Buddha, he Moggallana. Signaling method as described in the economic Vu Lan, mainly based on the pure spiritual energy of the four monks of the day itself, that power, the impact on parent mental suffering. Through the influence of that moral power whose parents are current or past transcendence and happiness. That also means that the existence of morality will improve the situation guilt and hell of a human gives human beings a life of faith and of yourself, build life happily.

To complement the signaling method of economic Vu Lan, Economic Report, adding that parents favor signaling methods parents have the most comprehensive and effective is to advise parents to practice the Dharma, remove the ties of greed, hatred and delusion ... which has caused much suffering for their parents. Only the new Chief Justice brings peace and happiness, as so-called new reward greedy parents.

Through piety of economic thought and economic Ullambana Gratitude to Parents, we have seen the spirit of piety is one of the teachings of Buddhist practice. Practice and ethics that bring happiness to people and society.

Buddhists are aware of the great influence of moral behavior was curious, so always try to create conditions for ideological and ethical behavior that is spreading; increasingly powerful impact on social life is moral decline today. Change miserable life by greed, hatred and delusion created, including his parents.

It is nice that the signaling of a business idea mentioned. END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY BACH LIEN HOA.( TAM THANH ).4/5/2012.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
