ABOUT LAW AT THE TIBETAN BUDDHIST-CHAPTER 1 : SPECIAL DELIVERANCE.

Chapter 1 Special Deliverance Buddha 3 types teachings. first teaching of the doctrine of the Four Noble Truths is he preached at Benares (Sarnath), India and became the foundation for the Venerable School Ministry (Theravadin). Monday teachings of The not sage at Vulture Heap (Rajagriha) and became the basis for Mahayana Buddhism. third teaching of Vajrayana (Vajrayana) Buddhism said in many different locations . Three easy Wood Massage (pratimoksa) (Actually there are eight kinds of sex three dollars plants remove (pratimoksa). The new priest is ordained ordination monks (bhiksu), and the nuns life as monks and nuns (bhiksuni), over hundreds of gender. Next is the rise newly ordained (sramanera) and ni newly ordained (sramanerika) and Romania in the period "study" (siksamana). Next is Five for lay men (upasaka) and lay people women (upasika). Finally all the world on the day boys (upavasatha) that anyone expectancy) are still being practiced in the country Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Thailand. In Korea and China where Mahayana teachings completely dominate in terms of practice, three wood to delete c? Ng practiced, but bodhicitta world still highlighted h? N . In Tibet all three ranks precepts are practiced: carpentry Three is to remove, bodhicitta (bodhicitta) and the Vajrayana comfort of Law (Vajrayana). The outside looking in, issue precepts for monks and nuns in Tibet seems a bit loose. the Venerable monks the Mahayana or sometimes thinks Tibetan monks so relaxed that they no longer hold world. This is not true. In India, practitioners can go begging for alms in the morning and return in the afternoon. But in Tibet no large cities and Tibetan villages and scattered away. So if the monks off alms to four o'clock, they must take to the evening, they returned to and therefore are not able to practice and learn what is more. So, Pandita order and Siddha Tibet in the past have decided instead to spend all day begging to go, the better it is for the monks and nuns spend their time was studied. So Tibetan monks seeking alms. Tibetan monks eat after noon but for some people, so also the world (in the classic special Buddha claim that monks can not eat hard food after noon). But this also has its reasons. In India, the monks seeking alms in the morning, returning in the afternoon and evening meditation. Alms both in the morning and is not true. Because of the monks food based entirely on alms, the Buddha prohibited monks eat in the afternoon. However, the Tibetan monks alms should be able to eat in the afternoon or evening if they are still hungry for them to practice more diligently. However, the duration of the penance twice a month and during the rainy season retreat, it is right to do dinner to remember the teachings of the Buddha. Tibetan monks to eat meat while Chinese monks do not eat. But even of the Venerable monks eat meat again because when they go begging, they should receive any food that benefactors for, whether it be meat, fish or vegetables. Because the practitioner may have to get meat while alms, the Buddha in the Sutta (Vinaya Sutra) not forbid meat eating. Chinese monks do not eat meat but they eat seafood. They do not eat meat by not eating meat, hundreds of bacteria can be found in the flesh would be saved. Likewise, in Tibet, only the meat of the animals to the new large eat. So, for example, of a yak meat (buffalo) sufficient for an increase in a year. Also, eating vegetables, it can kill more charming than eating a yak in the cultivation of crops. So Pandita and the Siddha of Tibet decided that it is better to eat a yak is better than kill so many small creatures and as such retains world properly. By just eating large animals, but she was not gender carpentry delete, but bodhi mind (bodhicitta gender will explain in the next section is the wish to save all beings attain enlightenment ) and Vajrayana (Diamond gender will be explained in more detail in the following paragraphs is the prime responsibility to keep all the wishes and practices) are also kept. I also believe that we should stop eating small animals, but only eat meat of big animals. However, it does not mean that Tibetan monks are perfect morality. Tibetan monks robed in dark brown while the Venerable monks wearing yellow Ministry and Chinese monks wear black. Buddha the monks life medical tool wear red, yellow or blue with dark brown not permitted Buddha. So the Mahayana Buddhist monk and Venerable Ministry not used y dark brown. However, the Tibetan Pandita and the Siddha rejected blue because that is the color of the dress and lay dark brown pick on. (According to Khenpo Kartha, dark brown almost not available in India, so it is very expensive for the robes of a monk. According to Khenpo Kartha dark brown has a lot in Tibet and hence not inexpensive and easy to obtain.) At the time of the Buddha, the monks in India is not wearing clothes like the Tibetan monks wearing and bare torso. When Pandita India to Tibet, you see where this is too cold for them all day up the blankets as seating. So the type of coat copy pi whereby the shirt style and then change to a symbol June Paramitayana (Paramita). Then this shirt style became the uniform of Tibetan monks. Now we are in the U.S., and the monks and nuns ordination are crowded out. I believe that in modern society, to go out begging not appropriate anymore, but eating style of Tibetan monks would be more appropriate, such as eating food in the evening. Question: Rinpoche, in the West, we often have the notion that an animal such as a dog or a cow is more precious than a worm or ant. Rinpoche : In the Buddhist tradition, whatever life is felt. So there is no difference whether it is small or large animals. However, killing a human being is considered a very evil, because people can reach a higher end and be beneficial to other beings. But no difference between dogs, deep and cows. Q: One of the conflicts that we face for Buddhist friends do not have to, it is they say that we do not kill we eat. We answer, but it is through the "third hand". But saying that does not help them understand. He could talk a little bit about the meat over to the "third hand"? Rinpoche: The Buddha prepared that we could eat if we are to avoid the following three cases the sense that (a) it does not directly kill animals to eat, (b) I do not tell others to kill he fed his animals, and (c) the animal was completely not killed by others allow themselves to eat. If we are not in three cases such awareness, the meat was edible. Q: In this area there are many fishing capital locals, they beat the fish to live and give back to us, when we put that sometimes as gifts to us. I do not know how to be the case. Rinpoche : Do not say, "Please bring me fish". But if they bring fish to donate, that is where this problem. Q: Should we buy fish at the port? Rinpoche : Yes, because when you buy a dead fish. When the fish was dead, then his or their purchase or donation, at the same time. Question: If people who do not fish, they will not kill again. Rinpoche : Whether we Buddhists do not eat fish, still block others still eat fish. Q: But the world does not see? Rinpoche : Eat meat and keep the world not close completely different from each other by because they just can not kill the fish, we buy it from the others. If we stop killing animals to eat more, then that's a benefit to animals. However, if an animal has been killed then, do not eat it does not help the animal's death and rotting meat would only. Q: But it always leads to the thought that animals would be killed. In fact, that is evil action taken her to other people to be calm. If we are a good bodhisattva, we should himself receive get instead is giving to others. Rinpoche : We have to suffer to get their own karma. The most important thing is to stop yourself, do not do evil deeds. It is also possible that he advised others not to do evil. But much depends on the individual. For example, I once made ​​a mistake like that. I saw have grid spider in the bathroom and thought that the spider will kill many other insects. So I finger remove cobwebs go to the spider from food. Rather, my intention is to protect the small insects that will kill the spider to eat, whereas spider compromised because it does not get food and starvation. Q: Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche suggested that we try the vegetarian literally at Gampo Abbey, which means we need to have a garden. So we have to kill insects if we want to get the carrots and garlic and potatoes. Rinpoche: The most important thing is the intention in mind. Since we have in mind is not the intention to kill beings, whatever we dig vegetable, it is not harmful. It is important as Vinaya is not intentionally kill. Q: Suppose in Boulder, Colorado with a thousand Buddhist per person per week and eat a chicken: the figure will be 52,000 birds a year. And because everything is computerized, the producers knew they would have to add 52,000 chickens because they know that people will eat them. If Buddhists do not eat chicken, they will not raise it. Rinpoche : If today I bought about eight hundred fish at the market tomorrow will be eight hundred fish to be replaced. Action is their karma, not ours. But from the perspective of their own, they may have that platform, but not intent or intention in the mind like that. So I may be tempted to eat meat, but I did not mean to kill the animal. Because all four conditions closely do not meet, so it is not a transgression. Q: And as a practical intent need not look? If 1,000 Buddhists do not eat chicken anymore, they will actually get a chance to prevent the chickens from killing. They do not make money, so they do not kill them to do more. Rinpoche: In this world we can not tell other people not to kill. For example, in the ocean so many small fish large fish kill? It is important for us not to kill, and that way we can stop the killing. But can not tell others. Q: At Gampo Abbey people in everyday life. If as we ordained not watch this as ritual during that little while that day we will hit a shovel into a lot of depth or any child. So what other reasonable if our wishes here is just to get food? And gender have any other reasonable if it was received or not received by ritual? Rinpoche: It should take this world even though we could kill insects at work. Because as we have in mind is not the intention to kill them, so we will not kill intentionally. Q: We often have to decide that the case is more beneficial. In modern society, people often decide to kill some animals to bring greater benefits, for example, the block capital malaria transmission by mosquitoes. The only way to stop malaria is to kill mosquitoes. Rinpoche : I think if we have a pure compassion for the benefit of others, are kill insects also okay. If we do take title to take money to kill mosquitoes with the mind, then, of course, that is evil.
