THE SPIRIT OF PRAYER IN SCRIPTURE WEST AS WELL.

 

Sutra Vu Lan (Ullambana Sutra), a short prayer, but the function of the animal, full of meaning and humanity, filled with moral, imbued with humanity and especially the educational value with characteristic hospitality director. So, doing Yu Lan has conquered the hearts of, in bold in mind, penetrates the flesh of all Buddhists.
Derived from Sanskrit, French West as he Truc household (Dharmaraksa) translated into Chinese language in the West Tan (third century BC). Then storied economic spacious and win people's hearts quickly, as prerequisite to traditional open signal - Won the West as well, common in Mahayana Buddhist countries.
Kinh Vu Lan venerable narrative Moggallana with god first force that still could not save her where misery hungry ghosts. Then, listen to Buddha, he came to set the left margin facilities offered to monks after the suicide, ending the season retreat, thanks uncle force the will of the monks that his mother out of suffering, hungry ghosts, born of heaven. This arises from causes and conditions, offering West as current indications for parents too become a common method of signaling current.
question is the signaling method introduced by Buddhism in the West as economic reasonable based on the ruling, ie by paying monks pray that out of suffering? In this case it will conflict with causality-of karma? While "Be yourself lit torch that goes" or spiritual self is still the mainstream, through and consistency in all the Buddhist scriptures.
Speaking of prayer, the view of the Buddha is shown very clearly economic constraints in the Samyutta IV (corresponding village head) and of Increase Nhat A function I (economic Ca Di Ni). The contents of the two texts are similar, are convinced that mere prayer, based on the ruling can not change an individual's karma. Specific image with the opposite characteristics, a rock and a barrel of oil, both are thrown into the river, heavy stone sink and lightly oil the surface. Not a focus of prayer that may interfere with the sinking of the stone and the emergence of the oil, because the characteristics of the rock and oil inherently so. Thereby, the Exalted said if black, black bear retribution karma and white karma, enjoying the effect of white, prayer can not change karma, especially when the industry is ripe. Obviously, pray to expect absolution, erase negative karma created, surrendering completely to the ruling as the Brahmin once believed is a futile.
Nevertheless, prayer is one of the internal What practice in Buddhism. Prayer has to be aware of is the desire to transform the karma for themselves and enlighten, support for others transform their own karma, including the dead. As such, the content of prayer in Buddhism is not merely superficial and purely based on completely ruling which is essentially the spirit of self-reliance with the support of the ruling coast. Who has ever prayed, the experience is clearly not anything I pray also wanted. According to Buddhism, it is not because the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas household that prayer must consider the your self has reached the threshold to "religious sensitivity" or not? Induced direct delivery is the result of the effort, sincerity, net of credits and complete transformation. Prayer in Buddhism, can say is a way to wake, wake up to turn bold shades of self-reliance.
regard the prayer of the monks mentioned in the West as well, we must first thoroughly understand problems "idealistic necessarily create". From the heart, the evil deeds of her bar to (mother Venerable Moggallana) is created and then that way feel extracts retribution. The wind industry reeling and dazed her mind, only vicious in closed circle hunger, size picture with greed, hatred, four SEN and disabilities. Extreme anguish urgent to the point where not a moment stop thinking. So, need to calm the anguish and constant wake confusion was. Therefore, a high degree of spiritual strength, to promote overall energy About The Wisdom of monks, focused to watered, enlightened, awakened her soul.
To do that, from time to monks Exhibit private chapel after the ceremony is essential. After three months of detention at home, especially after the suicide, the majority of them up all have clear spiritual progress, About The Wisdom of fullness, purity of mind completely. Exalted at the world, the number of monks monks take part in the Holy results increased significantly after Lent. When monks joined forces pay voluntarily, energy insight and compassion toward the hungry ghost realm, watered Wisdom hot in hell calm down, conception hunger like fire burning heart temporary security Net, constant mental confusion suddenly awakened. This is a very rare precious opportunity for the beings in misery awakened, converted to self-transcend. In time, when the pain temporarily interrupted if the beings that take advantage of this rare opportunity arises kindness, honor, devotion, wisdom born start, instantly metabolism will occur .
Due to ill stingy, Basin, greed and disrespect to the Three Jewels make way feel hungry, suffering image of the hungry ghosts, where the heart's awakening, sunshine for a change and liberation. "Most set idealistic create" is so. Monks only enlighten role, compel, relay for metabolism, passive. Major conscious beings must take the initiative to transform your karma. In that case, the heavy karmic beings, accept taken a fun, not arising wisdom certainly is difficult to achieve liberation.
malevolence pushing a hell beings, hungry ghosts, the kindness of living beings that take them out of misery. No one can do it for them is that each individual must rely on voluntary force, the compassion of the Three Jewels to save themselves. Although fully active, self-reliance, but the beings within the realm of the very need dedication blessings, especially the support and enlighten coast from the center of the storm, so indispensable synergy notes vows, blessings of text increase. This is the spirit of prayer in Business West.
therefore want legal offerings Vu Lan to signal for current relatives too have practical benefits to meet the essentials. Is the first clear experimental mind of the owner. The province is not in place the items offered more or less that is downtown, pray, desire to escape suffering relatives with true filial piety. Next is the praying of the monks. Because if not, the volunteer center at the time of the position is not strong enough to alleviate the suffering and opening insight for being awake. Most important is the received power at peace, free from the Three Jewels to being self-awakening, transformation and self-sublimation.
Thus, whether forms of prayer, but the message remains crystal coloring sense of self. This insight should be evaluated closely to proper understanding of the spirit of prayer in Buddhism.
