There are many opinions that Buddhism belongs to the school of idealist and this can lead to less understanding about the full subtlety of Buddhist philosophy.

The relationship between the spiritual and material

In the past there have been many academic buildings give the place find out between the spirit and the outside world (matter) have a relationship, which is more influential and important? Many were given and shared triumphs again divided into 2 schools:

* The only Sect of that the only thing that can exist in the universe is matter, and all things are born from the interaction of matter.

With the argument of born of the materialism denies the existence of a Divine creation and validation of such interest through physical interaction is from the brain. To them, the world must be perceived by the five senses and intangible things like the soul, God ... only reflect distortions and sickness from the mind.

From there, the materialist believe people just happy to fulfill the needs and preferences of the material. Thus, materialism conscious decision.

* As idealistic, things from the Center out, matter only when it would be known in psychology and consciousness deciding matter.

The same is confirmed a possible natural idealism again divided into 2 the concept is subjective (atheist) and objectivity (theism).

-The subjectivity that external world exist come from the perceived by the five senses, and a sense of process information of an individual. They do not accept the existence of a world beyond human understanding, nothing called the soul, the spirit, the divine ...

-According to the concept of objective idealism, that God created the universe, the human being is a product of the fatherland composed of body and soul. When people die when the body, and the soul back to heaven or hell.

Objective idealist who believes in God and the gods have the power distribution of grace and hand out punishment. People want to relieve suffering, they must live entirely on what the greatest desire.

With faith in God, Angels, demons, souls ... This ones are often the adherents of other religions.

Suffering from?

So in fact the full of trouble between spirit and matter how influential to human life?

People have been suffering a lot in the past, the present and is definitely in the future. They are upset about everything from introspective, personal relationships, social ... and usually do not know why? When the suffering brings social context and the academic leaders (philosopher) associated jump in the explanation and take out the suffering.

The only male characters is that social class inequality, exploitation, poor-rich heterogeneous interests ... and how to escape line is creating a society of equality and balance.

Subjective idealism is derived then the mound of traditional societies, the lack of satisfying personal freedom ... is the cause of suffering and to individual freedom in their perception is the way to liberate people.

Mission objective idealism then said God exiled humans due to the sins of their ethics and ways to escape suffering is to be enduring and sustaining the practice of the teachings of the Supreme to be saved.

My own path to Buddhism

The majority of people are working on the determination of Buddhist thought in idealist school but whether this is true?

Buddhism acknowledge the material world is composed by four main elements, but without the impact of foreign to others is born.

Buddhism acknowledges the existence of the mind and the copy in the world outside of the mind through the 5 senses (five units).

Although not confirmed there was a God with the power to create life, but Buddhism acknowledges that the world of schools, naraka, ngạ ...

To take care Buddhist Center, see the sufferings of every human being to the false reflection of the mind with the material world and it only ended when Center cut off the communications with the outside through the 5 senses.

In addition, the pain is coming from by the actions and thoughts of every individual in many lifetimes ago. Thus, each individual can only save part of yourself through the termination of any great piece and every thought is from 3 readers took part in the si field.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.MHDT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUNS=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.7/11/2012.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
