I. Why the Three Refuges
We find that in the ranks of Buddhists do not have a majority of the refuge. Since the Three Refuges, surely often burn incense to the Buddhas. Song, who burned incense Buddha is not really the life Tam was provided. But never the Three Refuges, who still call themselves Buddhists, we do not need to deny their faith.
Some guidelines: "News just heart of Buddhism, certain galaxies all have to take refuge." New concept seems to have heard of, with which they are not required. For example, students want to learn, must first apply for admission procedures, otherwise there is no school in the president, so only reluctantly to the Chamber, to the end of the school without qualifications. A student normally is subject to certain school year, the curriculum to the next grade, level, from primary school through high school and then to the University. First go to primary school must first register, when to high school and university, in addition to the registration examination are also considered qualified by education or not. And as such Primary school, but want to take undergraduate degree, to obtain a doctor, how could he be. Thus, to take refuge in the Buddha to start the Three Refuges. Three Jewels of Refuge is the first step into Buddha. If not take this first step, where any step may be the second step, third. Want to take the second step, third step there must start with the first. Level of taking a Buddhist ordination class in order to prescribe. Three Jewels of Refuge is the first base layer, there are contingent on gender, gender bowl, cross gender, gender monks, monks nuns, bodhisattvas world, all of the world have taken refuge in the Three Jewels as the basis . Buddhism did not give them birth, particularly open to any claimant Three Refuges. Beings in the six paths, unless they were suffering in hell born too big, too much, there is no refuge in the Three Jewels opportunity, but then no matter who, heaven, god, demons, animals, just found refuge center Buddhism is received. This is like going to school age children, whether rich or poor, to, coward, location, stupid, pretty bad without distinction, are enrolled in primary schools. As a step to the need to cross the exams of private nature.
Some people claim that his business had the capacity to see themselves can directly target the Buddhist scriptures found in the Buddhist path, so no need to take refuge can also be the life of Buddhist learning. This above information, it seems reasonable, but on the regulation of the Minister, it is wrong. Buddha is the Buddhist doctrine (also by a Buddhist doctrine), the disciple of the Buddha compiler transmitted to posterity. As the scriptures say only, that is just taking refuge in the Buddha Dharma that bypass security measures and the theory Sangha Dharma was handed down, this is an ingrate behavior. Buddhist Dharma but get employed, the release are protected by French born, but the birth of the Buddha Dharma to protect and increase the security was completed, so no separate Sangha.
If the instructor to private mode or Buddhist rituals without the Three Refuges, the foreigners as well as a groundbreaking style and love all things Vietnam. He had come to reside in Vietnam, but do not register their nationality, that the people claiming to be Vietnam. He was a Vietnam though welcome, but ultimately is not Vietnam. He can do all the obligations of the people of Vietnam, but ultimately not entitled to the rights of citizens of Vietnam. Also, such a life Tam of the claim to be Buddhists, but he can be a little of the place or dharma, but ultimately not be sealed. It's not something that is so attached procedures should have. So in the Buddhist scriptures say: "The life while doing good, but not break past life karma. Tam of the world or life if the damage is bad karma past life. "
Tam of life not just a matter of form, but also a matter of mentality anymore. At Tam of life, not only in oral memory, body worship, but also to visualize in the mind again. Mainly in the territory's heart can take refuge. About may be provided by the first world life, each Private teacher communication, this is a circuit solution lineage system. Ordinary class teacher did not self-certified, so shall not be in front of the Three Buddhas, Bodhisattvas life posture. Since this may know the seriousness and materiality of the Tam of life.
As said Tam of life that wants such a district Buddhist believers, it is not possible. If the only information but not Buddhist Three Jewels ceremony, he was left with the first and Buddhism. In Buddhism, the storm could not separate. If separate destructive teaching. A contrary to Buddhism and Buddhist undermines that reaches the good effects of Buddhist Studies, which is never. Otherwise, the trust Tam sure, why not the Three Refuges?
There are a few people still not believe in the Buddha, for Buddhism, but also have little sympathy, they do not immediately take refuge in the Three Jewels, lest after taking refuge in question will be completed, or after taking refuge in no way removed. So they have to wait and see attitude. They see the same meaning refuge as marriage between men and women understand each other yet not come at marriage. Fearing that: If the character of the two parties did not constitute unavoidable heartache for life. Actually Three Refuges and marital problems between men and women are two completely different. Billion as we want to study an engineering subject would always be a teacher. Without such an expert, it is difficult to most. Accommodation of the school or teacher is the school of taking office, his school office. School where his teacher was the teacher of teachers, even the experience accumulated from hundreds, thousands of years where the teachers themselves, the teacher learning we also inherit the valuable experience of several hundred, thousand years. After finishing a practice of engineering is that we can use. If during the study time feel suits you should be out of school. If you were into the school, the teacher did not mind what the rest of your life, but they also leave him to do independently. Three Jewels of Refuge is like that.
To understand a little Buddhism, must start from the Three Refuges. If only waiting would review the situation and decided to take refuge in, after all still stand at the door who would understand a little about Buddhism, it is just delusions. Door Buddha is not prison, but wander path to liberation. After taking refuge in that sentence was over, the door would not be called Buddhist path to liberation. Buddhism certainly my hope that people take refuge in the Three Jewels, and refuge from the start is going straight to a Buddha. But the air base difference that some people can not win the meaning of life to Buddhism, such as legal compliance may, after taking refuge in religion to go or not believe any religion. For these people, Buddhism focuses more specifically, is after them out of Buddhism, Buddhist compassion door is always expanding, depending on their cheerful welcome wild child turned back.
therefore I recommend glass all life should take refuge in the storm. Although he believed Buddhism, or prepare message, or even stand at the door by the Buddhist, to whether he is a follower of another religion, nor any problems inviting him temporarily abandon or religious prejudice his capital to try to take refuge in the Three Jewels, surely he would be real benefits nor lose his freedom. If true then the Three Refuges, unless that cover offensive mind, he never retreated out of the Three Jewels.
II. Three Refuges WHAT?
The word on the interpretation, the refuge or turned back, y is any support or reliability. Behavior to take refuge, or direction on the reliable refuge. So the word refuge nor Buddhist terms have specialized.
She swooped into the womb of its mother to rely on and trust his mother, so it feels safe. The birth of this sense of security derived from the strength of the refuge. Therefore, the divine act by which the direction of trust generated a sense of security can be called a refuge.
The following can be said that children trust their parents, student teachers trust, enterprise reliability estimates, the lowering of reliability growth, network sufficiency review of the transport network reliability, to the tyranny of private rely on counsel, greedy trust assets, etc. ... all have some or little, or much sense of refuge. In other words, common belief is that understanding the process can be considered as belonging to the refuge. So of course Buddhist beliefs can call the refuge, or other religious faiths to worship god sacrifices asked where the hell can also call the refuge.
But the true meaning of teaching refuge, divine trust no cure faith, not truth, not so rely, are not known as true refuge. For example, large flood accident, one can climb trees, climb to the roof, run up the small hill, but that big water, waves, winds, high water makes the tree falls down, small mounds were flooded. So in that context, if there is a mountain near the high, people can not climb mountains or not? I believe that unless a man so ignorant, not one who has left no chance to survive. Because the mountain offers a safe effective, it is not high treetops, rooftops, small mounds can be compared.
So who are aware of this impermanence, all the world are due to general causes and conditions that treat the same, one can clearly understand their parents, teachers, cost estimates, the growth, transport network to force, assets, etc. ... but can produce safe effective temporarily, but ultimately could not absolute eternal to rely on. Parents die, the teacher's knowledge will be obsolete, will target volume estimates, growth will be important to mobilize change, transport networks based not sure, to the force, the tactical asset ... is as illusory , like smoke. Today king, tomorrow may be made prisoners, said today that hundreds of thousands of rich, tomorrow may be a beggar in the alleys.
to such beliefs of other religions can grow to the sky, but necessarily caused by the belief that the decision was born in the heavens. Rate as Christians, believers can be saved, but also surely not be saved. God is not favored, although he earnestly believe how easy would not be employed as the people of Heaven. Look on the Buddhist classes, except the Buddhist, all religions, even the most senior religious they are not living beyond the scope of the heavens. But, in the Buddhist heaven, have students assume the highest heavens to again, still in samsara. Life span is longer than the sun but the world, but also limited, enjoy all blessings heaven after death again threatened, so ultimately not worth a place of refuge to refuge. The only refuge in Buddhism can make people gradually move the goal of Liberation-suffering is fun. Master of the Three Jewels of Buddhism: Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha.
In fact, the trend of refuge must first start from the Three Refuges outside the body, with the opening of the direction and guidance on security Tam, Tam told to rely on a steady path of liberation to come into nirvana. But the road and into nirvana (liberation) immediately place itself is also able to Three Jewels. All sentient beings have Buddha nature, so as enchanting karma should not see the Buddha nature, our purpose Three Refuges is the Buddha we want to manifest. We deal with Buddhist capital, capital protection contract with Tam, just so ignorant to forget that duty floating in the emptiness of life and death, did not know the way back home, so-called being. If today we started back to the Three Jewels is a child just turned and walked back wandering his old home alone.
Therefore, the only way to return home is considered refuge Chon district. And as for what can only be temporary resting place is absolutely not the place for us to take refuge in a lifetime. Otherwise, just like riding a buffalo land across the river, just into the water or have little sense of wrong was to be safe: but an alum in the water, of buffaloes the land itself is also difficult to preserve, may make tools across the river to be u!
What is the Triple Gem? Why call the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha as Security? This is very important. A first person to believe that Buddhism must take refuge in the storm. But before the refuge needs to understand the substance of the Three Jewels. Otherwise, no idea of the Three Jewels beautiful place or not is called the true refuge. Just like we want to implement the University for education, if it does not know the name of the University was indeed comical. But we can say, today's disciples told Tam to life at the refuge is not necessarily understand the substance of the Three Jewels, the traditional life he surely did not take refuge on open market through the substance of the Three Jewels. Say it is shameful.
Three Jewels are the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha; because the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha born merit, upholding the timeless magic, and it did not get dry, do not use it all, infinity, infinite, invisible dock , infinite. The world for gold and silver treasures of high value, large utility, so-called security (precious). The merits and wonders of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha, the information of the whole world and the world, so worthy to be called Bao. Due to the teachings of the Three Jewels of causes people to live peacefully in the human world and make human-suffering in the human world is fun. Therefore, the Three Jewels is precious, even beyond the precious treasure of ultimate things.
Regarding types of Three Jewels, traditionally there are ways to distinguish. From the roughly speaking, not out of the disagreement of the minister and be reasonable. Now divided into two broad categories:
A. From there on the Abbot General Chemical General Tam Tam protection and security.
Two. From the Best possible reason could be Ly Tam Tam security and protection.
Before explaining Three types of protection, first need to know the implications of the Three Jewels. Buddha was enlightened: Self-awareness, feeling forgiven, feeling happy consummation. France is allowed under rules that make people understand and be able to preserve the essence not lost. They increase the harmony, the harmony of the place together.
1. Abbot Triple Gem
- Use touch jade, stone carving, gold casting, and cook, land cover, wood carving, oil painting, ink painting, embroidery on canvas, drawings on paper image of the Buddha, the Buddha told him.
- Three Tripitaka Dictionary of Buddhism or unless the chief virtue of this ancient text, that is Dharma.
- monks, nuns shaved monks wear hair dye, it is Sangha.
As for Buddhism after Buddha's death refuge the Three Jewels to a serial network wisdom Buddha, maintaining the spirit of Buddhism and spread Buddhist teachings, so-called Abbot Three Jewels.
2. General of the Three Jewels
- In the Sakyamuni Buddha in India to lead to death, the Buddha Sakyamuni told.
- The first contemporary teachings Buddha taught his disciples as the moral: Four saints Great, the Noble Eightfold Path, Cross II ... of conditions, that is Dharma.
- A disciple of the Buddha sacrilege contemporary ordained, he is Sangha.
This is only general state of Buddha at the head of that application, so called the Three Jewels General Chemistry.
3. Three Jewels of World
Three Jewels That is the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha are each separately each of the Three Jewels merit.
- Buddha projector capable of feeling, so-called Buddha told. Or Buddhist teachings, in respect of legal order, so that the devil shall capacity, so-called Dharma. Buddha did not have a controversial error, so called Sangha.
- The French may have enough power that student Buddha nature, so the Buddha told. France itself has a fund of energy, so-called Dharma. Buddhism not equal each other obstructions, so called Sangha.
- To have the mind to observe, that the Buddha told. Increasing use is the demon responsible, is Dharma. Increases may be the harmony, the Sangha.
4. Li Bao Tam
Tam said security is the availability of all beings, everyone enough. There are two types:
- From the insight: byproducts are due or, Company, Passion that flow of life and death, so that love can turn into realization: Or, the Prajna News; Company, ie the liberation ; width, ie the Dharmakaya. Buddhist prajna is protected, liberation is Dharma, the Sangha Dharma body.
- From the possible reasons (like legs): Physical security features consistent Buddha, the Dharma of the shop, the most reasonable as the Sangha.
In fact, the storm but divided into four categories, but only two properties and is the reason. Tam told the Minister about the fact, so easy to understand. Tam Ly security can be abstract, so not easy to understand, unless it has enlightened, was certified as true nature, are otherwise feel alienated, but that is where they take refuge in the goal one. To give readers more easily understood, we would record an introduction to the issue of Indian Shamans Thuan for reference:
Reviews to where true refuge is the true merit of the Three Jewels, which traditionally many distinctions, now just say briefly two types:
1. The merit of the Buddha is Buddha outflow security, said the Thanh Van excess, the legal body that is five (Virtue, Wisdom, Salvation, Salvation by knowledge); said the Mahayana, it is all merit photography smuggled into impermanence (Autonomous) Bodhi. Dhamma, or Dharma is Nirvana. Merit of being smuggled school, learning is Sangha Radio. According to Thanh Van excess Sangha said that is the merit of the river outflow bowl set (four directions, four of Hinayana results).
Two. Mahayana teachings say purest legal world as shown by the goal fulfillment (general industrial photography can be used) is the Buddha told. French's (or called the foot like; it tuong.vv ...) boss around ten such legal world more, not less, not two, not the other, is Dharma. Little about the apparent solution is pure Sangha. Normally one can say Three Jewels, Three Jewels are not able to reason through the hypothesis that a significant disagreement on this (The Buddhist Chi Dao, page 21).
See the paragraph above, if we do not have a little background still do not understand Buddhism. But we are ordinary, if reason can be explained naturally Three Jewels as well. If such explanation is just general information The Three Jewels, after the message to a certain stage, Ly Tam security can also self-evident. Just like when we did not travel through space, for the sight of space even for space travel has made it clear how the way, we know only vaguely, to take the truth; only person who space travel a new phen is known. Thus, if only ordinary beliefs we Abbot Three Jewels is all right. But we should be very clear: No Tam told the abbot is not apparent is how to Tam Ly security shall not have a reason to Tam Tam told the Abbot how security is not an establishment. Tam told the great abbot of Tam Ly be sure, Tam Ly be sure all of the Abbot of Three Jewels. Buddhist beliefs began beliefs Abbot Tam said, the purpose of the Abbot's belief is made manifest Three Jewels (the invention) can Ly Tam told.
Today, there are lay disciples of the Buddha himself could not witness Tam Ly said, can only believe Tam Ly sure I took it as a reason for such glass Abbot Tam said, was to reverse the original flame, is an act to high contrast crashing down.
Ordinary things that we can only see the Three Jewels The Minister, also Minister Tam Hoa told a state minister at the Buddha 'head just like new. After the passing of the Buddha only Abbot Three Jewels. The Three Jewels, but Buddha told is the most precious, above all Dharma, Sangha position but is most critical. After Buddha's death, the VTP Buddhist Sangha to the abbot, the Buddhist scriptures to preserve the Sangha, the Buddhist culture to spread due to Sangha, the Buddhist faithful to the Increase security to lead. Therefore, when the Buddha was on earth, Buddhism Buddhist taken as the focus. But today said the Buddhist faith, as the place to take refuge in the Sangha; Tam told to reverence respectfully Sangha.
In the ranks of monks must have solid dragon confused, afraid we do not take refuge in healthy people choose to follow, but with reverent care offerings should be equally. The Buddhist says: It's breaking monks are still eligible to make the master sky, so no highly differentiated low and there are good and bad criticism.
previous paragraph said the Three Refuges is the foundation of the Buddhist News, Buddhist Studies. But after walking up to the platform of Lord Buddha, nor be out of this platform, because of this new move gradually, each individual extension. Tam of the first stone of this enterprise architecture direction. Three categories of refuge sure there are 5 steps:
1. Version evil tam provisions: First, enter the Lord Buddha.
2. Five three rules: After the message Buddha, feeling more contingent world.
3. Bat's three rules: On the continent Bat boy over boy's life.
4. Cross's three rules: novice, novice nun's life ten.
5. Sufficient detail about the three rules: monks, Bhikkhuni ordination yes.
Because when ordained, shall surely have Tam; first of Lord Buddha, Tam provided of course must be; life more Five, Eight world, in the Triple Cross sexes are provided to attain gender and sex can get; consciousness Delete that nuns, monks, monks nuns, but use up that legal precepts, but in the world are celebrating life tam provisions. Therefore, although the three rules say that it's not the basis of all gender (In fact, in the three rules imply that gender).
Tam provided the basis not only of gender but also all of the basic the daily religious life of the Buddhists, those two key early afternoon action in the three monasteries are specified, all finalists will also get Dharma tam provisions do duty cardboard. So Theravada Buddhism to take three important rules, they initiated tam provisions to train and also initiated tam provisions to pray for people.
III. Benefits of the Three Refuges
The benefits of the Three Refuges in fact very much, I can be happy for the life, the fun may be for the next life, because this also can reach the joy that the goal of nirvana citizenship. In summary, there are eight points of benefits:
1. The Buddhist followers.
2. Is the foundation of the ordination.
3. Reducing obstacles misdemeanor.
4. Contains extensive group merit.
5. No oppressed evil paths (hell, hungry ghosts, animals).
6. Humans and not the (non core) will not be disturbed.
7. All good work is to succeed.
8. Was the Buddha.
Almost as if to determine if, in the Buddhist scriptures say a lot, please only select five articles as follows:
1. If the Three Refuges future blessings will not be the same make, such as a treasure of jewels, the people carrying the entire burden of seven years would not end, merit refuge with even greater treasure than a thousand times (Business Upasaka gender).
2.There a God in heaven Dao death benefit, enjoy all blessed sun, life-ending, only had seven days to die, the body of the Son of Heaven it is degenerate. But you know he will be reincarnated after death in the pig stomach, so that the great fear came to her Heavenly Home visiting teachers, Thien owners also have no way of saving, you just told him to Buddha for help. Buddha taught that the Three Jewels refuge after death not only from the fall into fetal pigs, again as human beings he met Sariputta visiting Buddhist holy teachings that result certificates (Business Discount Easter Flower Horn)
3. The past is the Son of Heaven in heaven thirtieth three, enjoy all blessings heaven, and seven days to die, those days are pleasure to renounce him, no longer beautiful goddess surrounding him, Minister This stately look the way into no mood, body weakness nasty stinking, two armpit sweat dirty all day. He knew that he would be reincarnated into the pork belly, so that the weeping bitterly. This renders the owner or know God, God taught you all that went into the Three Refuges mind, it teaches you to read silently, "Refuge in Buddhist religious sufficient depth, taking refuge in the French cup religious education, religious refuge in the Sangha medium" . He followed the advice of God all the Three Refuges. Over the period of 7 days, he died. Employers want to know God after death, where you gave birth on, but he did not have the capacity to see the place of birth of the Son of Heaven, the Buddha asked him to. Buddha said: "For by the faith the Three Refuges, transfer oppressed to rise up to heaven Where Da rate, the divine eye he could see down to levels below but could not find upstairs." (Putting her Sai Energy France Business Tho Thien Tu Tam Dao Refuge Evil Plan Exemption).
4.Neu four great as in the European East, West, South, North, St fruition Second full redundancy, offering people a lifetime to create towers for each person the great merit of the measure can not, but not by merit Three Refuges (Business Comparative merit).
5.Qua monks past a specialized procedure called Sa Dau title went Tam told ten years evidence has completed the preliminary results, the current in the world Pho Huong do Pratyekabuddha (Business Carpentry commutator).
Due to our record on all known refuge in the Three Jewels is very precious. Also Buddha has said: The Three Refuges are the four heavenly king gods go wrong by 36 supporters.
But we must know: Three Jewels of Refuge but can bridge peace and joy in present life, but the ultimate goal of the refuge is to be directed toward Tam Tam security protection for yourself and also the Three Jewels, means that he can become a Buddha; but is not essential to his pride, his or forgotten.
