BASIC THINGS FOR NEW BUDDHIST THREE REFUGES.( 1970 ).

 

When the new Buddha attained enlightenment, he taught:

"The door was wide open unborn

Whoever has ears listen and

Renounce his delusions wrong "

PREAMBLE

We are to be suffering delusions so we seek enlightenment merciful to rely, almost off except suffering, enjoy happiness. Buddha who faithfully refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha will fall into the three evil paths from hell, hungry ghosts, animals and the cruel wrong place.

Ordinary every refuge ceremony, the Buddhist Guru communications are provided for Three, Five and other basics.

But how in a time that listeners can receive and remember all the things that guru said. It should be heard, spoken, or read and reread many times to not forget.

Besides, in our daily lives, the majority of Buddhists have more rolling, so hard on subsistence territory, no spare time to learn all the things you need to learn, to get it right as a Buddhists.

So here we compiled this booklet called The basic steps for the new Buddhist Three Jewels refuge to help ensure a basic understanding of possible religious instructions step forward, not go wrong with the purpose of Religion.

We hope this booklet is disseminated in all classes of laypeople. So ask you for dissemination to take place the Buddhists do not have to learn and practice them.

That's what common interests that we always wanted.

I. MARKET PROFILE PURPOSE OF THE BUDDHA

Buddha appears in this world not for fame, for the benefit, nor to sit on the throne which ruled the galaxy four continents. But with the aim of making beings are liberated birth and death cycle of suffering, awaken.

In the Lotus Sutra says: "The Tathagata appeared in this world with the aim of making being open, market, enlightenment, the Buddha entered knowledge." But because being frugal is not the high and low, so, his teachings, divided by different initial upset and basically Tam regulations, Five: three credit provided to our district, contingent world created by virtue good; from which approaches to the way of practice leading to liberation of nirvana.

II. OUTLINE OF THE LIFE OF BUDDHA MARKET

The cardinal virtues of Buddhism is our favorite Guru Buddha-ni-ca Form. In countless eons ago, he is also a living being like us. But he was soon enlightened beings suffering, so he became Buddha.

In this present life, because he wanted to save sentient beings from samsara of suffering, so, for over two thousand five hundred years (to the year 624 BC), he was born as the crown prince psychic named All- achieve multi-child and the King and Queen Maya of Ca-Pi-da-la-defense of North India.

At a young Prince, his top intelligence enlightened, more intellectual people; piety, virtue complete. He is the father, with all affection and give everything in my life happy. The purpose of this not to enjoy the physical pleasure. So, he gave up the riches of the glory flowers princely life, beyond the, in quest the Enlightenment.

Through six years of ascetic practice all the practices, after all, with 49 days immersed in meditation beneath the Bodhi, he discovered and became Buddha.

After enlightenment, he went around the teachings of India to child birth. Number of people because of his teachings can not be more unspeakable. In 80 years, born of the fullness of grace, he entered Nirvana song where the forest is our life-sentence-thi-na origin.

Today thanks to some good conditions, we are called leap in measures of Buddhism, practiced way to know for suffering. So we have to practice more and try to bring all the capacity for upholding the law, most would reciprocate the thanks of his high thick.

III. TAM REGULATIONS

What are the three rules? Is taking refuge in the Three Jewels. Ie refuge in the Buddha, refuge in the Dharma, the Sangha.

Buddha is fully enlightened, blessed, full location, inside or not the industry afflictions that trouble, not external circumstances agree, reverse, making obstacles. Are liberated liberation.

France is the supreme doctrine of the Buddha. That is the method, said the Buddha way for us to practice to be as enlightened and liberated him.

Increase the renunciation is true, y always follow the teachings of Buddha practice, teaching and makes it spread among the folk, almost everyone would have been enlightened.

Buddha, Dharma and Sangha (three refuges) have enough self-enlightenment and enlightenment for all people like that, so we need to press into the refuge.

The word refuge means returning to rely on. For as long distance baby wild parental origin of the wandering, his life today finds itself helpless suffering, to recover back to their parents rely on the console rear.

Refuge also means to give back to the left, put the evil back to good. Turn back to the Enlightenment delusion, counterclockwise rotation about the suffering of birth and death Nirvana peace.

But for the religious wants of their practical results, even Buddhists have the heart and sole of the refuge. That is:

- After taking refuge in Buddha, did not take refuge in nature, gods, demons, animals. By these persons is also being in the three worlds, still birth and death, not yet totally liberated as Buddha.

- After taking refuge in France, did not take refuge in pagan cults. Because the doctrine was not yet fulfilled enlightened guide to the perfect spot.

- After the Sangha, did not take refuge in you evil evil master. Because these people often give us the mistake of thinking leads to suffering for life.

So Buddhists should be cautious and thoughtful in this matter refuge.

IV. ABOUT FIVE

Five year ban of the Buddhist world.

The Buddhists after Tam of the then French territory should be banned next year's life. This year's ban by the Buddha body is devised for the purpose of prevention of speech and evil actions, our illegal. It is fundamental to being human, which is also the first step ladder to the results we accomplish unsurpassed Bodhi.

Five Precepts are prohibited:

A. Not to kill, harm animals. - All things are born life and fear death, that suffering, like our grief. To pay off loan industry more unfairly away many lives and to cultivate compassion for all animals born, so we are not killed.

Two. No theft scam. - All the wealth of working people by making health care are included hard. Still happy to let them enjoy the pleasure of taking it and to suffer from the chase began to pursue this life or any consequence to me plowing more heavily on life after life, we do not take care of thieves.

3. No illicit sexual misconduct. - To avoid the melting of NAT situation in society, to build smooth the family's happiness, and to alleviate suffering at the root of birth and death, therefore, we do not commit adultery illegal.

4. Do not lie. - For all people live happily trust, peace, no jealousy and rarity of mutual harm, we do not say Insolence, do not say slanderous, without saying weaving words and did not say aggressive.

Five. Do not drink alcohol. - The intoxicating liquor will be lost like intellect. Directing career that never came to the dark hell of suffering. We want to lead the industry quickly, quickly declared wisdom found, so we are not drunk alcohol.

In this year's ban, the Buddhists celebrate the refuge can receive sex life and how much, depending on the possibility that vow. But when the territory is whether melt also perish without destroying the range. Since it is a boat take us to where liberation. For as people across the sea, before the decision not to dock the boat left.

Three and Five provided the foundation for the religious basis of the laypeople. In addition, there should compel essential religious virtues help immediately to the result. The essential conditions that support below.

V. Vegetarianism

Vegetarianism is eating fruits and vegetables pickled beans without meat, fish, shrimp, crab, etc. .. Because eating meat, fish, shrimp, crab ... of course be damaging their lives. Recall that all living beings take the fear of death, joy and love and fear of suffering. Thus Buddhists can follow the Buddha's compassion, it's not being killed to feed their family networks.

Depending on ability and vow, we can feed the boys periodically as follows: Each month of fasting

Two days (Second left) - and expecting a full moon

Four days (from left) - Thirty, st a, 14 and full moon

Six days (green pearls) - Mong a, 14, Full Moon, 18, 23 and 30

Ten days (lower left) - Mongolian one, eighth, fourteenth, fifteenth, 18, 23, 24, 28, 29va 30

Each year vegetarian diet for three months (three periods left) - January, May and July

Or the day fasting and vegetarian Buddhist chickened out as the more you have left home.

Remember: These days, we heard from a vegetarian diet does not think about fish and meat. If these do more good deeds like giving free birth until the blessed.

VI. Buddha Recitation

Recite the Buddha is the Buddha mind thinking. Me thinking about the virtues of compassion, wisdom and enlightenment. Me think of the pure faith solemn incomparable. Me think of the virtues and benefits completely forgiven fullness of Buddhism. To bring the application into the lives of others and ourselves to be useful; hope all liberation and enlightenment as the Buddha. This is a legal practice in a myriad of subjects that Buddha has said that for every Buddhist practice.

Buddhist concept is in many ways. As envisioned remember thinking or mental virtue of the Name Buddha.

In economic Amida, Guru Like Form-ni-ca taught: "The ten Buddha-like memories of Western world called Ultimate Bliss and currently Buddha is called Amitabha preaching the birth If these beings ... have heard these words bring conviction, vow to rebirth in water and at the same time every day he necessarily accepted even over his name came to mind to any disorder, after the death will the rebirth of his country. "

But why should we expect to be reborn on the blissful world of the Buddha Amitabha?

Because in that world without the suffering of birth, aging, illness, death and misery as the world that we live here. In contrast, just pure fun of themselves in peace, always close the Bodhisattva and always hear the French pronunciation of the Buddha. Into the blood, the results. Therefore we earnestly desire to be reborn in the world of His Bliss.

On the mode of practice, depending on the circumstances and capacity of each individual. As people do not have much spare time, so every night before bed and wake up at morning practice approach "Ten expression" his owner from spruce following: First Buddhist altar bowed three O , recite a short prayer and then take a little longer even recite "Namo Amitabha Buddha" no matter how many questions, just a little complacent as a concept, little is ten times ten. Next earnest helpfulness Bliss for rebirth. Then the Buddha and retired. If there is no church in that Buddha, facing Western concept of respect amnesty and vowed then as above. While the concepts required to hear the language center of his thoughts did not stampede. Have the time or spare time then I thought more of the options but to keep regular, do not leave dinner meal idea.

Also, everyday walking outside or at work, going out, can always silently; not think of other things blundering. So long gradual concept, contemplation is always connected, banish thoughts. As always living memorial to the Buddha, the mind peace, upholding the Buddha and his death was the rebirth of the world of His Bliss.

VII. Repentance

All we do now because back in confusion, not the true reason of the law should have thin create countless crimes. Therefore, we are subject to birth and death do not know how many are suffering. Today want to eliminate all crime that we have created the need to lean sincerely repent. Repentance means to repent all crimes have caused earlier and vow from now on cause not create more. If y in this sense that repentance is crime no matter how heavy or light can be fled. Just as in a house for dinner do not know how long, but when brought to light a lamp, the darkness was all exhausted.

Various methods of repentance. Now say the most common method is "working repentance law": each month at 14 and 30 in the temple or Buddhist concept, the monks with worshipers gathering before the ceremony even the Three Jewels of Buddha Rose List to ask for repentance. It is the practice of "working repentance law". These days the temple that we should sincerely repent together.

But remember that he repented like that from that day on the need to always keep three karmas of body, speech and will not cause make a mistake. Do so, how many new offenses previously eliminated.

This method does not preserve itself creates three criminal enterprise, speech and mind, is nothing more than breaking the five precepts do not cancel Buddha.

VIII. Buddhist

Buddha dwells at home to remember the Buddha in mind. We see every day out on the course to take and keep practicing the noble virtue of His eternal brilliance as compassion, equanimity, Hung force, Equality, Purity, Wisdom ...

Buddhist worship is wonderfully sublime truth. Nothing is more precious than a Buddha lives in the house.

IX. Lord Buddha

Buddha spent countless lifetimes of spiritual practice, high merit infinite infinite thickness. Lord Buddha is our constant sa fortune, eliminate karma and afflictions. Lord Buddha to put right, rehabilitation, suppressing high drain nature conceit. Lord Buddha so profound gratitude for his good father who has saved so many living creatures from the sea suffering damnation.

X. Also found

Every day we burned an incense, a flower offering to worship Buddha grateful reverence. Thus, we will be merit in the present and tomorrow. Is also found to be sincere. The story he offered to Buddhist clay, the old woman came, offering salt beggar ... proved that with devotion the petty things also become precious.

XI. Chant

To understand and remember chanting the Buddha's teaching, to three purification industry, photographic recording false mind, and the wisdom born. Eat to nourish your body how to nurture the chanting necessary mental as well. Utterance must be clear, dignified and proper.

XII. DUTIES OF A laypeople
