SIGNALING MIRROR OF THE ORDAINED.

Tuesday, 5 June 2012

 

M Oh, and five great Buddhist signaling, the laypeople often imitate the venerable filial Moggallana high thick repay the thanks of the parents has died and lived on earth, but the most common way as folk had said:

Father is a Buddha,
I am old as Ms. Guan Yin Buddha
remembrance of death
to the temple of Lord Buddha born reward.

It is one of the easiest ways of signaling the direction of mechanical profile. Buddhists are also on this occasion, usually repair shop supplies, set the left margin to increase our offerings to increase the cross - after three months of pure practice - to merit his parents pray for the blessed life of money increases long, and parental comfort deceased was born on the scene. What renouncer signaling parents how?

I. SIGNALS materially and spiritually

At the venerable Buddha All Lankavatara her, after the renunciation of religion, primary heart thinking of aged parents, who are not poor feeding. He wanted to bring clothes and food offerings to parents, but for fear of breaking the rules. And he that presented his concerns to the Blessed One. Whereupon, the meeting guru faith and taught the monks: "If someone over a hundred years, carrying his right shoulder, left shoulder she carried, and whether parents have on their shoulders defecation and urination, may also be called is rounded to piety. Or bring articles of clothing and most precious in life food supply is not enough parents to serve notice and acknowledgment parents in the temple like a. From now I allow the monks worship life wholeheartedly support their parents. If someone is not offering the criminals. " (1)

Yes the Buddha's teaching, daily venerable beg their parents to bring about divided in two parts, his life was a part, and usually offered for the necessities parents as needed.

The above case shows, even if people still have a duty ordained conceived parents if their parents are carers. Where The Lieu Quan (1667-1742) the following similarly well. To her orphaned at just six years old, his father went to temple for Religious teachings with Venerable International Life Member. But in almost seven years, the venerable death. To immediately pass out thousands of icebergs school life with Giac Hoa Thuan Phong Lao Bao Quoc Pagoda Group. For a year, or believe the father did not care. To be back home, every day up the mountain to cut wood, bring about change foster father rice. Although family background white bar, The father still care even love, even taste, until his father died. After thoughtful care of the burial, a new team back to Thuan Hoa continue their studies. (2)

The Lieu Quan's example is somewhat similar to the circumstances of the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng (638-713). Patriarch as a child his father died young, only a mother, the poor family circumstances. Therefore, every day The young right-wood cutter, carrying to market, then exchange for rice mother adopted him. One day I heard people chanting the Vajra to the phrase "children born Ung based multitude of public interest," To feel like it opened, so she intends applying to the Mount Royal Mai Hoang life with the Five Rings teachers. But because no one caring for elderly parents, so pleased it was not planned but renunciation. Suddenly there who understand the wish of the Fatherland, ten ounces of silver went assistance, and promised on behalf of foster care group to the rest of her age-specific. Thus, the new team peace of mind, from the school itself ordained, and became a pillar of originality of Chinese Zen. (3)

Looking back on our country the golden age of Buddhist Tran, also the team's third meditation is Truc Lam Yen Tu Zen monk Huyen Quang (1254-1334). Poinsettias are a group of them, although his examination, as related, but see wealth as powder. One day, To the king to Vinh Nghiem Pagoda to attend the conference, the teacher of French speakers are of direct and remembered the old grace, sadly lamented that: "How important to hold the island, Putuo enlightened to the upper realms of the first period, the West is the Buddha realm. Other wealth autumn leaves, white clouds of summer, what should linger forever Hoai ".

Then, give expressions for the king ordained religious school. Suddenly one day hear the birds on the branch customers chime in their front yard, The primary heart aged parents remember, think of the thanks vegetative heavy, and immediately traveled back shop repair the old country, mostly to visit her parents. At home, parents are still healthy looking, and said he deeply religious grandmother Three Jewels, very happy fluff. That people built a temple in the west, named Dai Bi Pagoda, gathering from the sentence: "Great compassion Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva parents save towards the Buddha." Now parents have the power to the throne told the daily recitation, spiritual solace, imbued with legal status, cellular aging support, new security team to continue to spread the true teachings mission.

II. Signs on the spiritual level

Zen Master Yun Hu (1840-1959) at birth for seven days, the mother's death, the successor model loving care. By age seventeen, he had only died, but his father does not allow. Because he is doing important, the strict character, moreover he is only son of the family. However, due to strong motor renunciation, finally, he has quietly escape from family, to fulfill their lofty aspirations. When his father died, he did regret the upset father, injured mother remembers gentle absence from childhood. Therefore, his vow of pilgrimage to Wutai Mountain - where the ruins of Manjushri - just go three step took a bow for the purpose of repentance of sin is not taking care of the parents' full, and merit birth parents to pray for peaceful realm.

The example of filial Van Damage teacher makes us have to admire. What teacher Ham Son (1545 -?) As a child was a child of the ordinary. At the age of three, he just likes to sit quietly alone rather than go out with other kids. His mother was a devout Buddhist, Church of Germany lifelong Yin Dai Si. When he was seven years old, she sent me to a school house by a river. One day, after visiting his mother, he returned to school, get off her feet out into the river, but because the mother attachment, he does not want to leave her hand. Being angry, she immediately grabbed the hair, thrown into the river and returned home without once looking back. At that time, his grandmother was there, asking for help, he escaped death. Then his mother several times crying alone on the riverbank and the forehead with her husband: "I do not let it overcome the over-sentimentality that serious study."

In twelve years, he retired from his parents embarked on a path wandering through the school. During that time, his mother always follow the news their child. When he heard he was involved in Wutai Mountain school, she immediately bowed towards it and reciting Guanyin Bodhisattva. Thus, she felt her heart became relieved.

How many years of separation, he returned back home to visit his parents and the selection of land to build a tomb for two people. One morning, he accompanied his parents to visit ancestral graves to pay respect. At that time he was 80 years old father. He joked with him: "Today I buried his father, so help him from being returned to this world again." He said just type the hoe down. His mother immediately grabbed the hoe and continued: "The dig her own grave to get her, she did not need anyone to take care of it." Then she started happily digging.

Later, he understood that his mother has a very unusual, and it is a precious support coast to his professional achievements are the radiant. (5)

About Zen master Liang Dong Son (807-869), patriarch enlightened Chinese Soto, also has a very special mother. He presented the concept and how dutiful the renouncer signaling to their parents, as well as the expectations of parents for children to practice, the two letters exchanged between him and his mother. First is the letter he sent to her presentation and asked for permission reasons renunciation.

"Being heard the Buddhas are born from parents that body. Thanks to all things spiritual levels of heaven and earth sheltered. So they did not have birth parents, there is no heaven and earth shall not grow. But, all functions are subject to the formula governing the law of impermanence. Thought to favor intensive feeding prawn weight, as well as thick raised high, if brought worldly, caring for, or the same body of flesh and blood of this offering, can not reparation. Economic Hieu said: "Despite a couple of days killing animals to dedicated parents is unfilial. Because that would draw together the birth and death, bear like reincarnations. " Thus, to the temple deep in the thick of the merit where their parents left home. Because the river will cut off craving life and death, damnation through the sea of ​​misery, meeting the parents gift thousand lives, from the body like the temple that lives. Kinh said: "A child left home, nine of them are born in the heavens." I lost my life pray this life, in order to accomplish the Bodhi fruit, which provides the basis ceiling light like lives Prajna wisdom. Parents bent forward open discharge joy, nostalgia would end, imitate King Suddhodana and Maya Marian, appointments will meet in Long Hoa Assembly. For now please resign parted company. Did not you forget nurturing grace, but only because they did not wait for hours. Stock faith said, "Try yourself any direction the student body, they determined to try vanes galaxy itself? This body is not the aim of this life, any life of waiting for this body ".

Respectfully ask our parents do not miss you!
Get your letter, his mother replies:

"My mother lives with me before so many causes and conditions that constitute a new love baby. Since she conceived, early afternoon for emergency Buddhist god, the son would be born. Full-term fetus, life as just junk. Birth of a boy, I'm very satisfied, as jewels, thanks not hit foul unclean, not afraid of hardship prawn feed. I have a human, she walked to school for the study. Every time I go out late, stood by the door waiting for their mother. Child, please write to the monastic life. Your father has died, aged mother, his weak, poor, I know you rely on anyone! I mean leave her, do not forget the mother does have labor. Since he took steps tha way, she often wept day and night, suffering instead! Suffering instead! Now I have vowed never go home again, she also depending on the aspirations of children. She did not dare to hope you like United Live are cost, such as Dinh Lai carved trees, but may I just as venerable Section Contact, the mother escape damnation, forward Buddhahood. If she does so, e must be guilty. Mother pray for the completion of his aspiration. " (6)

Above, we present a few examples of the renouncer signaling, each of which every individual circumstances, but in the final who also heavily favor parental love. For by the new parent body. Therefore, the opening letter Dong Son He said, "The Buddhas are born thanks to the new parents have this body." And thanks to this new religious body of district population living fruit of salvation. Thus, the signaling parents obviously a sacred duty, no one was allowed to forget. Therefore, the renouncer, if aged parents, loneliness, not carers, still caring for the parents duty to life. In contrast, if a parent has temporary caregiver is at peace, they should read only religious practice, completing the career, then use mind power, merit, parents rescued from damnation round customs warehouses. In our opinion, it's way of signaling genuine compassionate, and appropriate for those who have chosen to way out.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY BACH LIEN HOA.( TAM THANH ).MHDT.6/6/2012.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
