Superstitions, Chief Credit

I. - open for

Buddha's enlightened policy of bringing light to illuminate the intellectual world. All truths are presented in the light of the enlightenment, and then realized the truth that belief is starting "to faith". In contrast, the mesmerizing presentation makes the world blind, deceived the world, it is "superstition." Or do not understand, there is no reason, that information is stubborn cafeteria "superstition". Information is stubborn harms to the blind man to dinner. Seeing is Believing is clearly true that boundless power makes people successful in all areas. So in the Flower Adornment Sutra is the sentence: "Information is a source of guidance, is the mother of all virtues. Believe it or grow healthy roots." So people need to learn to have faith religion, but belief has filtered through the sieve of reason carefully. Absolutely not to be trusted, opinionated news to corrupt the spirit of Buddhist enlightenment. The Church in the Di says: "... Generals Data View, see the stars-term look, consider failure, guess some days are not considered to be doing ..."

II. - Superstition

Superstitions are bigoted way of making people lose intelligence. Those guidelines are as superstitious or earth disturbances, back to primitive peoples. A true religion, a civilized nation, not allowing superstition crept in his followers, in their nations. Yet, our people, our Buddhist, superstitious evils still more.

a) At the core

At the core is the terrible phenomenon fascinates. The guys at him, her remains are living in abnormal status. They themselves have lost all self-control, they were wrong use by a mysterious magic. When the magic that rely on them, and he abused the sacred title, great men of ancient times used to dupe people face life profession. The information underdog chickened easy listening profess the name of Buddha, Bodhisattva, or the holy instant the dreadful first private glass. They do not dare to criticize it is wrong or right. Then they knelt MOP to a level ordained, or receive a blessing. They were deceived by the false name in the invisible realm, or by the evil spell miracle, the mystery of the past or the future. From there they lived by legendary fantasy dreams, lost all rational reality.

We must explore ways enchanted crushed him. As for the Buddha taught in the clear, as witness the results Buddha, the Bodhisattva, A-la-continent are fully informed, intelligent tam ... Thus, the Bodhisattva or A-la-fortunate who want the instant of spiritual powers is instructive, as the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, in the spectrum of subjects such as the Lotus Sutra. Not when the dear saints who have attachment to worldly teaching other work. Because he psychic metamorphosis complete very afraid. Thus, the magic remains are resting on the power of the demon. Lest the world do not believe, so they look to claim the title for prestige to cause. Knowing their personalities mama, Buddhists away, absolutely not backed up with them, case diameter is required. There's a new show is the true Buddhist.

b) Schedule number, why limit

Time is not due to human concepts laid out, let alone the time to set out on good days bad days, good years of data ... Try setting an example, we light a lamp in the right place, take a small round mirror to the left, narrowly separated in the west, the middle put a ball (soccer ball). We hand spinning ball, the light inside the lamp, the lamp is hidden at every rotation ever, evening ball to continuous light. Shafts that are at par the last to obscure lamp light for the mirror surface, light reflection on the mirror ball, sometimes back then, light a lamp in the mirror, the light from the the mirror ball, the lights disappeared. There were ants on the ball, that ball is called on the bright side, the dark side is calling the night, the mirror at the reflection of light called a ball thirty times reflective mirror surface in Full ball called a full moon ... Bright side to book a round ball is a good day, bad day two ... Sympathy that we have for ants funny or not? Indeed, we present an unreasonable measure. Lights, balls, side mirrors are senseless, its momentum is on the back that's it, nothing is sacred magical, but they put a good day bad day.

Also, to date, moon and earth are inanimate, they go together in a fixed axis, towards the renovation of the earth, the light, the dark side hidden. The axis of rotation is when earth was moved to the shade to date the moon does not shine, sometimes falling back, shed the most light on the full moon, the moon reflects the light to the dark side of the globe . Then, people living on the planet looks at the concept of light and dark depending on the night and set the hour, by the reflection of the moon full moon set, thirty, the month and year. Time is due to the human imagination is not set. How much more of the world that he is good and bad put fresh data ... Verily man is too messy, too confusing. Forums garnished out, tie yourself. Once you have a good day bad day, good day to go pick dare to go, do not wait for the new day as well. Even building a house built kitchen must also select the month for date, the married couple must consider the age group steamed crappy. People were covered in her mop of tangled cars, then weeping and suffering. Because age date created for so many people suffering. Let's hear from area farmersMale they cursed song:

Tiger a few things that he address him
as uncle Love that chewing on
them cleverly placed Ironically presents
Two children dead loved, and now am sure he sun damage.

c) Look up, see General

Come on up, also when you look at winning, but he's always saying he hangs "Hand His generals or the bad things that can go months will suffer the problem, if he knew doing good could heal through. "Then come January, if he suffer the problem of the praise he hit him see, by not You see, the victims suffer in doing good healing! Thus, the teacher does well or at all., but we try to check the view, both sides have an accident and do not, what is the benefit for the people to see it? If considered hand cost some money, until victims have also had to bear, the teacher can help yourself get nothing. months of life if the victim, who regarded life unarmed victims, for the healing to be blessed by the self- save themselves, the teacher did not do anything for her. thus worthwhile to consider spending money.

Moreover the book in general with verse:

Han:

Being formless mind
free your mind General
Organic heartless Minister
General Parts Removal Centre.

Services:

There is no general good well Center
General well being in mind good
good good mind Yes Prime
Minister well in bad mind losing.

Then, we need to play good heart working well, good things will come. We harboring evil mind, all the data will come. It is fundamental that we do good or bad, good or bad results will come our way. Not important at hand or physiognomy. Yet, we do not even root application, running on the bottom of the back, the money wasted in vain, it's called superstition.

d) Please tattoos, hexagram fortune:

Please fortune hexagram tattoo is a job for good luck. Risk is what happens unfortunately no pretext. Entrust their actions, to entrust his life to the place without proper justification, it is bad. Holy Spirit Where has time to sit on the table in the hexagram tattoo for you. If the applicant is winning tattoo hexagram divination, fortune nothing now, but its good data out. As the book says: "Blessed are even spiritual, mental sketch future reference." That is a blessing to meet at the hexagram turn out well, as the virus leaves the tattoo art that is bad. That is good and bad in themselves, not in tattoos hexagram. We just fix her for good, things are good, go for the hexagram fortune tattoos do? Please tattoos hexagram fortune only makes us more afraid. Vietnamese folkMale have questions:

Handdaphnia the money you
take care psychic night on her.

Working interests, the loss of money, brought fear into your heart, not what is superstition?

e) rigid view directions

Probably also stars term, it is outdated obsolete, so far as our planet many thousands of kilometers. It is something that we must worship! The practice of the Buddhist country, the ninth day of the first month is also back. Buddhists do not worship stars send name, as in that security is not guaranteed. Song of worship so that all you, security is not? Perhaps you forgot that his name in a rigid fiber do? It is ridiculous, moral causality Buddha in the obvious, that people regardless. Body of the report and we have peace with evil, the goodness to enjoy the fresh fruit, the fruit of data to the data subject, unable to escape. Only create more goodness, the data results to be slightly away or reduced. For as we have done before suffering a person, because then they lack the ability to seem revenge through. By the time they qualify revenge, if we do not get many injured protecting it, it will work properly with other people. Conversely, if we get too much protection advocates, results will pay slightly or fell also. That's why, fear no more hard work, we have to make people happy. Do not worship the stars with him to be happy is an absurdity.

View towards building a house, building kitchen is also a superstitious way. There is much of her husband's family discord, rebellious children, to watch him closely procession towards fixing the door, change the kitchen. If the kitchen door and say, would argue with the landlady that "strife among the compromise he did not know each other, we have what sin is displaced swapped the other?" These actions speak enough people shirk responsibility, never dared to look the wrong my mistakes, trying to blame something that is untenable to them. So whether they modify hundreds of thousands of times, still cluttered mess, insecurity remains insecure. Since the initiative was to insecurity, where there shall be amended. So, the obvious place to study directing this nonsense, do not mistake such a stupid way up.

g) Burn joss paper money

The custom of burning votive paper money is ridiculous on the ridiculous. Can not people have a little comment, the argument that it is acceptable. It was on this earth, bringing the country's currency to another is also difficult to accept, let alone a human in space, to spend hell, what information is rational. The floor in the paper, paper clothes, sent to finish burning hell for family use, the result is a waste of useless. Try asking relatives waiting for them is something that burned clothing sent down. They are useless all her soul all stars? Or do they have good data now that the place of birth? If Buddhists do not even know who says: "evil beings up now, it falls under the realm where healing realms of being evil." Relatives and we die by living life now, do not wait where we send clothes to spend their homes. So he just left work ethic, just costs money in vain. Buddhists never blindly accept this job.

III. - Disastrous superstition

a) Throwing oblique naive

The superstition is believed by a demon skewers wrapped unfounded, no reasoning, stubborn message confidentiality, lost all reason, people become ignorant. It is the image of the people believe in him her ball, she identified his body made. Why are they like that? Because their souls entrusted into the mysterious, into the invisible world, they lose all practical intelligence. There are almost as crazy as they mumble alone, or say things everywhere unfounded ...

b) They bind, selfish, cruel

The superstition of the calendar, date, time, who were miserably bind. They never dare to decide a suitable job with the current schedule. They wait for hours watching history good or bad times, good or bad day. Then they were dried in a muzzle on now. By date used for good or bad, should they become selfish, awful people. There are good things to do at that moment to help people, and they were afraid not to do bad now. For parents to funerals, they still look good day, good time to benefit their descendants, who thought nothing of death. There also used to cast a magic town, if their parents died on the same order. It is cruel, they are no longer little love for the dead. All the funerals, select the date and time, they are a surface for them. The person they always could not help worrying, on the first available column in the neck they have hundreds of thousands of years the bond on time, do not give them a moment to deliberate.

c) loss of self-confidence cowardice

The tattoo fortune telling, why limit ... human cowardice lose self-confidence. Because no self-confidence to do what they have to ask God, the church. They are anxious to see how scared in La Virtually, that guy. Goodness they did not create, the data would not move, but a scared scared surface term, the result is the blind man, dark. They are not afraid of the scary, the things they can not demand, it is irrational dread AM. Perhaps Buddhists clear that primary evil, courage to throw away those bad mistakes, can live with the spirit of enlightenment.

 

IV. - PRAYER IS THE CHIEF CREDIT OR superstition?

In every temple chanting, people are Buddhist prayer. Prayer is to faith or superstition? This question can not be answered one way, depending on where everyone's understanding, prayer is superstition, as well as to faith.

a) Superstitions

If we assert that all prayers are satisfied, it is superstition. Why? Because, if that is prayer, not to mention the karmic cause and effect. If any event occurs, the results are due to the hard prayer satisfaction. Because the world who have good karma, the karma data. The good karma when it was such blessings to pray. He who created the industry data to karma, despite prayer and work hard to escape suffering. So how dare constant prayer is like that. The fixed mortgage, a reasonable mistake, so the superstition.

b) Chief Credit

We only see prayer as a blessing to faith. As you honor your father and mother, quarter glass ones, we pray for the day-but can he be as willing or not, depending merit thin thickness of these persons. Although not as voluntary as well tell the sincere piety of us. As well as honor those elders, those dear friends, first of all bless each other. The blessing does not necessarily reflect, but also speaks to the hearts liked each other.

Moreover, Buddhist monk prays for the purpose in mind to break his selfishness. Any Buddhist public, we dedicate prayer for all living beings into Buddhist. Last heard the prayers seem empty, not be done. But in the spirit of breaking down, kept coming up, mind up back and forth for all beings, makes people forget their private selves. All jobs are not for yourself, do not think of their own interests, but because human beings, because all living beings. Every day forever on decorations set this in mind, the one that when we no longer see its own ego, his assimilation and other living beings. Then we found out the ego and compassion, happy to see all of the suffering as his own. Understanding and application of prayer so pray, faith, indeed.

 

V. - CHIEF CREDIT

a) message

Standing in the way of time, all things existing in this universe, not a foreign object get the results that are formed. In the process of being destroyed, would decide to carry things from the results, since the results back. Cause and effect, the results do not twist off. It is a phenomenon born of the human realm. Test thorough review, we do not see something that is not human, but a random. Seeing causal reasons, we left flexibility evil becomes good, the bad becomes good. Seeing causal reasons, we understand the autonomy, creating beautiful future for yourself. The reason is both the cause and effect science has moved forward is the power of man. Find understood as the result of human intelligence. Knowing the causal application of human progress. Survey on the causal reasoning closely, is a thorough understanding. So causality test of thorough review and we are confident to faith.

b) Information causal

Standing in the space, all things in the universe were formed because of conditions. Not an object made by a unit, but not many of the new units formed. The world, the fate of mental adaptation to scientific analysis of current. If the material by a unit of analysis, there is nothing. Because many units of an object, the new analysis was divided into several units, many kinds. Most small as an atom, it is analyzed that there are many key components, the physical situation is a big deal. Hence, the reason we see the Buddhist karmic say, is a truth, true to the spirit of science. Understanding the causal reasons we broke the meanest and most accept human error. Understanding of causes and conditions, we clearly see things in the world are involved interlaced together. We can not separate an individual standing outside the group, an individual standing outside humanity. This is why up to be selfish notion. We actively build common welfare of humanity, not just an individual. News of the coast is believed by intelligence, by science, for it to faith.

 

VI. - CHIEF CREDIT BENEFITS

a) Intellectual

Recognizing the causal reasons, karmic reasons is the effect of wisdom. The remarks by thorough, coherent analysis, which increasingly intellectual development. If an object in front, we just naturally quiet as it is, by nature do so, so there is nothing to comment, to analyze. It's forever, will blunt intellectual man, could not be sharper. That makes people lazy excuse considerations, long slumber become hardened mind. A Buddhist wisdom to live by, so clearly things are born into decay in the system of cause and effect, cause and condition. The material is not due to cause and effect, is non-causal reasoning, unscientific. So who is the real faith, science, intellectually comment.

b) Responsible

Shenzhen was the result of causes and conditions, he will take responsibility so damaged, or bad, good or bad by themselves. I was active in the good cause, creating good conditions. Everything is not good cause they did not create, this is my fault that must be in one. Knowing this, we can not escape, no whining, contrary courage to accept and turn. By identify the causal effect, we consider a good or bad event happens, that's coming from, what conditions meet new people happen like that. So despite the unfinished work or we are clearly not mistaken. We attempt to facilitate switch it. Responsible for converting, not responsible to pass, that is the spirit of faith, people.

c) credit

Knowing his bad or so, you are indeed the owner of any success or failure. Suffering happily, is the creator himself. Tomorrow bright, dark tomorrow, we are active. Because understanding of the causal effect, people will have very strong self-confidence. In virtue of self-confidence, new people trying to convert his rise in all areas. Some people have moral self-confidence, doomed never surrender, slow progress. Having self-confidence is having an extraordinary power. Having self-confidence, the new practice is not retrogression.

 

VII. - CONCLUSION

Superstition and faith, two different light dark streets. If you go to the dark side is not seen the light, if the light is not locked away in the dark. Buddhism advocates to faith, never accept superstition. Because evangelicals are not the direct reason, should transplantation practices in leading the world, make people misunderstand Buddhism superstition. The essence of Buddhism is wisdom, enlightenment, how superstitious tolerated. If one sees in the temples today are superstitious phenomena, critics quickly Buddhist superstition. This is the unjust situation of Buddhism. All of these scriptures can not say what's superstitious, nothing more than some people depending on, for lack of understanding that Buddhism presents only draw.

The true Buddhist brave to eliminate practices that mistake, courage decisively smashed all evils degrade Buddhist values. Maybe get rid of it, can be a little disadvantage their rights. But we firmly as Dharma, not as avaricious, so take the passion out of the way, not fearing the loss of direction. Being so, we deserve a faithful leader, a new row is not ashamed Sangha.
