THINK ABOUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF AN ABBOT.

Commended the work of the great law influenced by functional and effective practice to assume operations of the local Buddhist abbot. The teacher would have been the center help of the Buddha Dhamma is pervasive, to many different audiences. Preaching is the daily work of all those who made ​​life renunciation of morals. Buddha has recommended that: "O bhikkhus! ... The he let go, but the two do not go the same direction, go separate ways each person, please spread the Dharma. this the monks, Dhamma all good in the beginning, middle and end, both the text and considerate. Make statements about life and pure perfection ... The Tathagata goes well, Tathagata will also go toward Uruvela (Lau Tan Advantage speakers) in Sananigana to spread the Dharma. Please flag waving on the wise, be taught the sublime teachings, please bring good to others; be so, as he has completed the task " ( Mahavagga - Great products 19, 20). From this encouragement to think of the responsibility of the abbot, abbot we will see who plays a very important role, many aspects associated practice of monks and nuns as well as public seat Buddhists home. Commended the work of the Dharma influenced greatly by practice performance and the effective shoulder operation of the local Buddhist abbot. The teacher would have been the center help of the Buddha Dhamma is pervasive, to many different audiences. Through this article, we want to share with your readers think about the image of an abbot in terms of spreading the teachings of the Tathagata. More inner mind - more moral externalities When it comes to the work of an abbot, we usually think of the saying " Head imperial law, the Tathagata maintain organ "as an explanation fullest. However, to properly understand the inner meaning that up, the problem is not easy. In almost every conversation with HT. Thich Giac Toan - Deputy Chairman HDTS, monastery abbot Center - we are very fully agree when HT explained that, in terms of the Minister , the abbot preservation, care and preservation of Buddhist temples, practice legal organ of the Buddhas; on a legal nature , then thanks to the moral qualities and his abbot would make the masses understand the Dhamma. Through daily activities, abbot must reflect the manner of a sergeant naked monk, settle things with the religious mind and by virtue of a person's practice, practice. When exposed to a teacher like that, we will feel the energy of peace and nature will be transformed. This is the way preaching the most effective and compelling education through the body, without any legal uttered a word. However, the Venerable, we also should not require a strict behavior as well as knowledge of an abbot. Not everyone can achieve a supply wing clever behavior as well as an extensive knowledge of the "East-West metal neck." Most things where an abbot is in the mind and the Germany . These are two very important aspects before being entrusted with the sacred duty to keep the church facilities, teaching people to turn to the Chief Justice, through suffering, to live among themselves in very afraid that your life Abbot made ​​a vow. This requirement is probably not too high, because that is the result of the convergence of merit of each of practicing renunciation. The life dedicated Zen practice is what mind of each abbot. This is the reason for living and also the expectations of the public faith of Buddhists. Along with many more and the layman diligent study and practice the Dharma, so as not abbot negligence in the conduct and shallow thinking, lack of interest, lack of faith, lack of practice self or the vow just as a good abbot support "private" that ... A shelf life dedicated to economic In fact, an abbot, if only for dedicated range of classical learning and teaching practice, then he could have taught many people. Because, together, the work of abbot is to preserve and transmit over the network of Buddhist circuit, so "of meditation" is the new "dish" of the spirit. Mass to the temple, it is necessary to them is not discussed or that the political level is learned about teaching. Therefore, if an abbot without the use of certain sutras, law review is a major shortcoming and considered the task, its mission is difficult to accomplish. We must recognize that classic is priceless treasures but only to accompany those who appreciate and cherish them. Business law is not only helping to bridge over the river over the life of birth and death but also the capital of living large as a guide on the way practices of the abbot. Try to look back in the past and present, the honorable rank success in the work of the abbot, photography goods many people are dedicated to teaching the classics, early Wednesday happy with the opening prayer, cultivated roots good for ourselves and others. With such witnesses, a preaching of the abbots of which we understand posting forum where only preach, so vagrant travelers, which is available at the " theme of living "secretly given people. That image contrast is that some young monks separate themselves from the pagoda, leaving the public, seeking a life of "freedom", despite the risks by not practicing with the Sangha. Care for and nurture the environment pulls the mass practice - believers When the work undertaken at a facility, abbot will be busy with many worries and Buddhist. However, after all, the worries that are aims scheduling daily practice for public order and internal cross Buddhists as a way of preaching. Doing this is both an art and a great influence on the quality of each practice ashrams. As an honorable organization experienced in our practice and the public to increase to nearly 1,000 people, TT.Thich Thanh Hung - Deputy HDPT PRIVATE, abbot Pho Quang Dinh (Phu Nhuan) shared to us that the abbot should establish a practice course with many different models to suit and meet the practice needs of each specific audience. In addition, the abbot should also heed the daily lives of laypeople willing to encourage, share with them in certain cases. It is the caring that is practiced in ashrams Pho Quang Pagoda increasingly solemn and attracted followers. In that direction, Ni Volunteer Director - Phuoc Hai Pagoda - the force of interest mainly to pay for young believers. A former student in this school, usually close to the young students, work, learn their aspirations, while also raising children orphans, poor children should understand that by age Palmo are more enthusiastic, dynamic, but also very eager to win, lack of experience should be easy to be tempted, dragging lead to immoral behavior, rotten. And with years of working experience, he also found that Ni family child close to the temple, after a while, we have become good children, have many virtues. This will be the role models to convince others to transform the community into the new. With this wish, has organized Palmo vegetarian meals and lectures focusing on university students on 1st and 15th of every month, spent a long time until now. There retain money environment of a practice that will make abbot Zen vitality more lively and energetic, open up different ways of preaching effective, consistent with current conditions and meet application needs to practice for both monastic and laity.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY BACH LIEN HOA.( TAM THANH ).MHDT.11/5/2012.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUĐDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
