Manjushri Bodhisattva.

                   

 

V Thu Su Loi eating is also called Maggie confessed dysentery, meaning German Dieu, Dieu Lisianthus. Noble German virtues are understood as all full circle.

In ancient times, he was the third son of King Forever Avoid mission called United We Prince. His Buddhist museum offerings and vows to be effective as delivery of Manjushri. After Buddha's Life Museum up for him to undergo countless countless lives later, he would become a Buddha in the world pure Bao Chi belongs to his wife on the South, named Buddha Manjushri. Bodhisattva Manjushri appeared in almost all important classics of Mahayana Buddhism: Hoa Nghiem, The Mausoleum, Lotus, Vimalakirti ... as a close ally of Buddha Ca.

He is now officially on behalf of the Buddha Dhamma talk show, also played at the control program to introduce the audience to a critical approach of the Buddha. His understanding of the Buddha nature, including three virtues: France itself, Prajna and Liberation of bodhisattvas so he is foremost. As a bodhisattva represents wisdom, Manjushri Bodhisattva was often depicted with youthful appearance sitting cross-legged on a lotus with boyfriend union. His particular icon is on hand, up from the ocean, is a fiery sword. It carries the implication that this intellectual gold sword will cut off all the shackles of bondage of ignorance human brain tied to the suffering and misery of the cycle of birth and death and to the endless the fullness of wisdom.

Meanwhile, his left hand holding the book of Wisdom to keep the position as cuddling on the heart. This symbolizes awakening, enlightenment. Sometimes, we also see his left hand holding blue lotus, represents the virtues. That means using intelligence to clean off all defilements of craving, like the lotus in the muddy sludge without odor. In other words, the Bodhisattva who is not competent forest hiding place high-school, or live in pure comfort u, which is a hit with the masses live, rolling in the dust cloud to save sentient beings, should be the king as they do, sometimes do with, as well as those who have disabilities live in poverty ... But filled with pleasure, that Bodhisattva purification remains uncontaminated as life. It is thanks to the intellectual craving clean end, members of the faith.
The armor he wore and called armor forbearing. Because it so the arrow does not violate the non-market itself. It can protect the integrity of his compassion so they enemy hatred hatred can not shake the Bodhisattva Vow. Bodhisattva never left the borders patience because without it they can not accomplish the Bodhi mind. Speaking of Asian Buddhist, Wutai Mountain, the Chinese side is seen as the area where the office Bodhisattva Manjushri. Wutai Mountain in Shanxi province and territory with populations of mountain together the East station, Radio West, Radio South, North and Central radio stations. The scenery is exquisite with shimmering lakes, rivers meandering pure plus the wonderful natural landscape as the picture wearing, it has long been considered the first place Penglai scene, abode of the deities in Chinese legend. Flower Adornment Sutra says:

His office at Manjushri Thanh Luong mountain northeast and currently lectures for bodhisattvas hear. Which mountain Thanh Luong later alluded station is Marble Mountain. So that in the Tang Dynasty (736 after TL) is the largest teacher, a high-rise, made a pilgrimage to the Wutai Mountain. Teacher having a one man rose above his riding a white elephant on the opposite side. He said increase will meet tomorrow Bodhisattva Manjushri, he finished speaking, the increase disappeared. Master overjoyed and thought the night Luong Thanh Temple, the center of Marble Mountain station. The next morning at dawn, Master woke up alone close to the mountain west. Teacher to see the white elephant riding yesterday and the teacher encourage further rise up the mountain.

When he went to the northwest, passing a bridge, then he saw a majestic stately mansion as a monastery, all in gold. Then Master elderly monk met and no doubt, Master sure there are elderly monk Bodhisattva Manjushri emanation. Division glad to have a moment of stunned after completing the new Master soul awake. Master this opportunity to consult on impasses in the Buddhist bodhisattva also graciously and inquired about the status of Buddhism in Division hometown. Retired from Bodhisattva walked about hundred steps, the last Master looked back, all gone. Master Dao Nhat bring all things to witness answered the King Street Huyen Ton. The king was so fascinated by this story should be sent home set Kim Cat Self. This is the great temple architecture model is complete reminiscence at the end of the 8th century.

One other Japanese monk named Human Resources (Ennin) also pilgrimage to Wutai Mountain in TL 840 after he had saved more than two months and recorded the witness as follows: "In the early today, we, a group of about ten people suddenly increase seen in the sky in the east of the valley appeared a magic lamp. Light initially approximately the size of a small jar but then grew up in the house. We really shook this sight, knelt hastily beat big anniversary celebration and honors bodhisattva Manjushri. Then a lamp other reappeared more close to us.

Two of this lamp at a distance, a distance of about 100, to a brilliant shine light until about midnight and then gradually fade away. " In this memoir, Professor Human Resources also describes the architecture, temples, places of worship in the Wutai Mountain, including the statue of Bodhisattva Manjushri very famous in Hoa Nghiem pagoda. This is a statue of Bodhisattva rides on his big lion with a space in the house. The lion looks supernatural greatness and live like he is. When we look, we felt like it was going and mouth breathing in the fumes. Master of Human wrote, adding that "this statue to be cast for the seventh time to complete because of all the times before, each time the tank was.
Finally sculptor sincerely pray and ask the Bodhisattva Manjushri he appeared to him that the most realistic images Bodhisattva to describe her. After the prayer, the sculptor opened his eyes and gasped when he saw the Bodhisattva Manjushri riding on his yellow lion appeared before. A moment later, the Bodhisattva iridescent clouds flying up and slowly disappearing into the distance. Sculptor extremely excited and grateful when he saw images of Bodhisattvas indeed, but at the same time he could not hold back tears of regret expressed Bodhisattva mistakes ever. " The lion represents the power of wisdom. Bodhisattva fullness due to intellectual sermon crushed all heresies.

Marvelous honored role of Bodhisattva Manjushri, we can find in the "Manjushri said the scene About Real Justice Decree of Buddha". This is an ideal manifesto BODHISATTVA published by a great buddha represent wisdom. The goal, ideal BODHISATTVA not only to overcome the cycle of birth and death, achieve nirvana that is completed to save Buddhist beings.

Especially wonderful role commend his approach was too gimmicky business excellence "Vimalakirti." Vimalakirti bourgeois is a laymen but religious attainments, telecommunications, security unfortunate that even the disciples of the Buddha ranks did not match any taste. Because of people like him should be manifested in the company has a reasonable and proper photography immeasurable wealth to the poor, pure morality to photographers who destroy the world, using photography unfortunate patience to anger the angry man, use the effort for the lazy photographer, best photography of interest to those who meditate president disorders center, used for photography wisdom-mind of man.

Although the embodiment chee that pure morality of Samana, whether at home without charge worldly, charming wife and kids market is that regular practice of pure happiness, despite wearing precious good for general use dignified life despite eating in the browser that took Zen to taste, or to place gambling, the chorus of the song is still up. All who have donated glasses are provided. One day, because he wanted to create the conditions for good living preaching, he would like to have the opportunity to create ill preach doctrines beings. Buddha know basis "disease" was his turn to ask the disciples on his behalf to visit his sick Vimalakirti. But all the disciples of the Buddha in the past had been bourgeois Vimalakirti and legal questions about the mind that no one school facilities replied smoothly before Buddhism profound knowledge and eloquence very afraid of you should all fear rejection. Several examples such as:

One day Ananda bowls before the Brahmin to ask for milk when he is sick Exalted. Then Vimalakirti asked him that:

- Ananda! Do something that held a bowl to stand here so early? Ananda replied:

- Dear Lay! The Sun itself is a little sick, need to cows milk so I came here.

Layman Vimalakirti said:

- Come on, come on! Do not say that, Ananda. Tathagata's body itself diamond, pure evil end, has good fullness, what is disease, where also suffering. Ananda, be silent about it. Do not defamatory Tathagata Do not let other people hear this word. Ananda cakkavatti of little merit, but not illness, let alone the countless blessings religious Tathagata, wins everywhere. Ananda, if Gentiles heard, they will think: Why is Buddhism called me to be? that his disease is incurable but treatable disease for others it? Ananda, should know, that is a legal body Tathagata itself, not the sensual body. The Vietnamese are Buddhist religious super three worlds. Buddha is very contraband, the contraband was clean, unconditioned Buddha, not reach the number. Buddha is also sick so what? A quiet Nan had left.

One day another head fake encounter Vimalakirti Rahula. He asked:

- Sir Rahula! He was the son of Buddha, as directed off the throne that renunciation, the renunciation of the benefits that have nothing? Rahula replied:

- The benefits of properly ordained as legal. Bourgeois Vimalakirti said:
- Hey La La virtually! He should not say the benefits of the monastic virtues. Why why? Countless benefits, numerous new merit is ordained. If standing on compounded, says new benefit, without merit. As part of the measures to which the unconditioned unconditioned no legal benefits and merits. Most La La! The Secretary ordained no treatment, left sixty-two is accepted. In place of nirvana, the life of the mind, a place of saints, or drugs surrender them, the five direct and contingent net label, has attained the five forces, established five senses, such as disturbing other people, leave all evil things, cleaning the heathen, super fake Vietnam, from the muddy earth, not being attached, selflessness and ego basis, numerous territorial basis, such attention disturbances, ham deceased beings, depending upon Zen to, leave the guilt. If the feet are like new monastics.

Finally only Manjushri Buddha on behalf of the Head of fake sick visit Vimalakirti only. Same goes for the Bodhisattva Manjushri, the bodhisattva also 8000, 500 documents and hundreds of thousands Thien Thanh Nhon to see a debate on the teachings of these two eminent persons.

Vimalakirti asked: What is the Tathagata seeds? Manjushri replied:

- There is the seed itself Tathagata, ignorance is just craving, anger and ignorance is the same, is just crazy quartet, enter the same record, the same loss of land, the same legal compulsion, the same permanent brain , the cross direction is the same evil. Overall, sixty-two is accepted and all afflictions are seeds Buddha

Vimalakirti asked: Why?

Manjushri said:

- If anyone sees inaction in the district can not release any more attention Supreme Bodhi. For example, you can not place high mound lotus birth, but where the damp muddy lotus birth is. Also, those who find the right approach to the unconditioned can not arise Buddhism, in the mud negativity new beings arise only Buddhism. Knowing all that negativity Tathagata seeds, such as the sea is not to be such an invaluable Buu Europe.
Similarly, unhappiness is not the sea could not be gem Necessarily So.
background theme Vimalakirti's business is to develop awareness of the reality on the basis of the principle of duality, ie ideological emptiness of Wisdom. Guiding principle of duality perception of reality starts from discovering discrepancies that ultimate reality can be found the true (absolute) within the reality that difference. To realize the true reality of this, the Bodhisattva should go through the door of non-duality, ie door transportation for bodhisattvas between nirvana and samsara.

Now, Vimalakirti said that the Bodhisattva: Bodhisattva assume this goodness! How did enter duality teachings? Feel free to base his realization that comes out.

All Bodhisattvas turn 32 replies to this question, but the layman Vimalakirti are not satisfied with that answer. Finally he received Manjushri said:
- In my opinion, no words where all very theoretical, very urban unconscious, where oral apart. It is second to none enter practice.

Then Vimalakirti asked Manjusri that:

- We each have a self-spoken. Now turn Nhon author says: "What is Active practice of Bodhisattvas duality?" Vimalakirti silence.

Manjushri praised that:

- You instead! You instead! So no texts, new words enter the practice duality feet. Duality is the realm of "the wisdom of equality" does not mean that 2 and 3 do not. If referring to the practice of this duality must be separated from the realm of discourse in language death, childless. Can not take all the discourse of all things that are clearly understood, nor can we be sure and can not know. There can be asked and answered, it was the "duality method".

        Bodhisattva Manjushri is also closely linked with Ghandhamana mountain, "the mountain treasures shine aromatic scent." In the economic "nirvana Manjushri" He has been described as a visit to the Himalayan range to convert the first 500 residents have returned here with Buddhism. And then, this also describes the scene of his death, when the fire burned eighty of his body. His relics were taken to Huong Son mountain, where countless numbers of God, Long, demons, gods would come to practice ceremonies honor Him. Huong Son Mountain was a French scholar Gandhamana Lamotte is determined.

After all, we worship Bodhisattva Manjushri is the wisdom to direct our availability. Ignorance, craving has taken over our fellow human rebirth, subject to short-stack all the suffering. Let us wake up to go back to their available intelligence and wisdom to use the sword cut through craving to get out of deep sea of ​​misery. Yes, just wisdom is enough to save us from the cycle of karma. Furthermore, bodhisattvas exemplary for benefit of others, we must use this intelligence to the blade rescued people from an enemy defilements of greed, hatred and delusion snake. There is such a practice, a new deserve pay homage to Manjushri sword arm, wearing armor, sitting on a lion. Merit in not giving nature, which are offered. So do not say blessed by the faith, not giving up over doing so.
