Pondering on renunciation of events Bodhisattva Siddhartha Ta.

Every year, January has ended jubilantly the place of meditation, where the heart of each Buddhists are busy preparing for the anniversary Bodhisattva Siddhartha I left home on February 8 th lunar month.

8th pivot 2, we all every one knows Buddhists and non-stop in the near honored during the year 3000, on history was noted in the dead of night where the Kapilavastu, Prince Siddhartha King of the kingdom had opened an "exodus made history" for human enlightenment.

So celebrate Bodhisattva renunciation mean?

Celebrating one of the big day is related to the life of the Buddha will bring a sense inconceivable. Celebrating the anniversary is a reminder, review, praising the virtues and merits of a Buddha practice, this profound influence on the growth and increase confidence as well as the diligent cultivate the spiritual elements of each foster child a Buddha. Celebrate all the events in his life were marked from the moment the Buddha was born, in which part of the decision for a fundamental turn, open the way to liberation route is extremely assessment important.

Renunciation, according to the Dictionary of Buddhist Studies, Sanskrit Pravrajya, sound effects are translated Han Da Ba Turkey, is to point people away from family life, transfer the purity of a monk or a sex film fame communication, only seek deliverance; their places in the forest or pure, away from worldly life.

Looking back at history, the position of crown prince is a contemporary and unique, Siddhartha conditions so I can enjoy everything in the world to the ultimate level, from love to authoritative material . But how different from other people, with the age of the Thai youth away from it was fun for all items is still quietly under a tree in the lower filled holidays of the traditional kingdoms. Next undergone four matched into meaningful insights to arise in the heart of the prince.

The first time, after seeing an elderly and sick relatives in the gate of the East, second to South gate, Prince saw a sick person is crying, groaning, through the western gate, he saw one found dead lying in the middle of the road, surrounded by flies and the bloated body looks disgusting. After walking three times, Prince just see the whole picture of a human life, but in the eyes of the prince, all become simple mark up is a nagging pain not the therapist.

Fourth, north door, the Prince met a monk physiognomy sedate, relaxed calm in the midst of people, the prince returned along with the monk's answer it: "I practice is to liberate all of the time constraints. " After many months of thinking with which gently testimony market, as Prince Siddhartha I woke up, his father would worship ordained for the reason: "How ageless child, how the child lives that does not die, so you do not hurt healthy people and how to end suffering. "

The King was no way to meet what made his son, of course, request denied, just as the return of the ultimate enjoyment of worldly things. Do not agree to his father left home, with concerns "How happy I could be, how we can be immersed in pleasure? The fire burned eternity, darkness enveloped. I do not want to find the starlight? "(Dhammapada - Pham Cong Thien translation). Cuddling thinking much conviction date, following a royal banquet on the night of February 8 th, Prince Siddhartha I have chosen for themselves in the path of the dark, with only the most far - Nac and perhaps the silent sacrifice of gentle wife Yasodhara.

Starting from the historic bar that night, spent six years of asceticism and enter the following 49 days and nights by his own experience, the first time in human history Bodhisattva Siddhartha We have explored the enlightenment self-interest, forming noble Buddhahood from Buddha on the basis of equality in every sense of being dominated. My Prince Siddhartha attained enlightenment and Buddhahood step up, and from there to the Buddha for the benefit of people throughout the heavens for nearly 3,000 years.

"There was a man, this, brethren, as appears in the world, leading to the appearance of happiness for the majority, the majority interest, to human happiness, the happiness of gods and men. A person is? People have the right view, who is not crazy. The one person, the brethren, when they appear in life, the appearance of happiness leads to the majority, the majority interest, to human happiness, the happiness of gods and men. " [1 ]

Back to learn through direct screening of the Buddha, meaning the mystery away, we see that the prince gave up his kingdom royal party darling beautiful wife, to live ascetic lives where forest deep, then a dawn he realized on the basis of frugal living, simplicity, the so-called enlightened is to discover the nature of the Buddha, is the cessation of all suffering, karma, self- in the world, did not survive the birth and loss, this release is significant implications in the sense of noble renunciation.

"Export" means out here for a Buddhist monk requires separation from home this non-secular market, except for all the negativity, self in the three realms. But the basic meaning of the word "ordained" in concrete prism Pure will be explained how?

We know that the Western world is Sakyamuni Buddha referred to as a pure realm of great ideal, there is no suffering and all seek, no definite life span and so on. . And the conditions for rebirth in the pure realm is set on three conditions: Faith, Happiness, May. Doctrine and practice of the Pure Land Teachings of the Buddha expounded three sutras: Amitabha, Amitayus and economic Amitayurdhyana.

In the Amitabha, the Buddha introduced the cult leaders as well as the medical report stately calm of this world, and tell the practice of recitation by the Buddhist title of all: A Di Da, the Infinite Life Sutra, the Buddha on the wall of Amida Buddhism through Tibetan monks French picture (the precursor of Amitabha Buddha), with 48 wins vows, as well as account of describe the practice of virtue, wisdom of the holy spirit we turn this realm, that being thirsty religious vows consciousness born in the Western world, in the dungeon king Bimbisara, and said before the event earnest request of Queen Vaidehi, the Buddha spoke of Amitayurdhyana, only sixteen measures consistent presentation to the factors being Pure.

Thus, reading the conditions, methods and practice, in the realm of Pure Land Teachings are indispensable vow, the diligent practice, defilements and it is important to achieve self- in the mind, to be able to feel the mystery of where all the Western world. This is to be a meaningful part of the intimate connection, but any Buddhist monastic whether at home or can be self-testing and realized the "residential treatment however, no previous three realms, Being electronic market generally virtues " (But be home, but in these three worlds themselves, although his wife and children, but often still practice chastity).

Here are descriptions of the Western world, the world of Ultimate Bliss is set as soon as the practitioner flavor tasted freed himself at the center. Once the mind for the pure form though will always feel at peace, no matter where exposure can also sen stately treasure, and is confident that this time every sound pulses around the meditator becomes sermons as well. Thus, the significance of national and Pure Land method has two major meetings: one is to pray, praise the virtues of the Buddha to receive spiritual blessings, both at the self-interest or Centre leaves three worlds.

In addition, out of the secular common sense to only ordained monastic disciples of Buddha, but in terms of the bodhisattva as well as Bliss is idealized self-interest, then from right where the center of author does not have a distinction, this time the concept of "Bliss" is defined by the cessation of defilements, out of market and non-secular separation of the three worlds from which the meditator's mind. " Who's taking the net release, Ai blessed all led by Buddhist vast world .... " [2] .

In short, this talk about a celebration of the life of Thich Ton even less want thousands of forms, and not out of lofty praise the merits of the Enlightened One. Through the encouragement of praise to our diligent practice, and finally achieve liberation in order, to directly realize the pure heart of each of us, for a moment, the events of our lives our (future seeds) will be marked from the moment we realized flashes. Until then no need to ask: will we ever be called a Buddha? This is the deeper meaning, the highest honor to be started from the bar that night, when the Prince was beyond the La Ca Pi, a priceless gift given by the Buddha to all living beings is : "All beings can become Buddha" END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.MHDT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUNS=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.1/7/2013.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
