DHARMA OF BUDDHA.

The iron will, profound wisdom, love, vast, infinite compassion, faith serves carefree, worldly renunciation is historic, totally pure, attractive personality, the way model method used to propagate the teachings.

On the day of the full moon in May 623 BC (DL), Thich-Ca Prince of India, was born in Nepal. He predicted would be a great teacher in the world. Being raised in a lavish, acquire the appropriate education to a prince, he also married and have kids like everyone else. The contemplative and compassionate His infinite not allow him to enjoy the pleasures of the temporary nature of the court. You do not know pain, but deeply compassionate human suffering. Prosperity amid affluence, he recognized the universality of our suffering. Castle with all recreational facilities where the secular is no longer appropriate for the Prince's compassionate. The time is ripe for him to go. Realizing the illusory nature of pleasure at 29 years old, he abandoned all worldly pleasures, golden coat of a simple ascetic, alone, empty-handed, traveling here and there, seek peace truth.

It is the emergence of the unprecedented in history, for he was not ordained at the age where it was during adolescence, not in poverty but affluence is in sight. Since ancient times people have believed that liberation can not be achieved unless they live a harsh ascetic life, he attempts to practice all forms of mortification fierce. "Out of this effort and other efforts, all this austerity and asceticism other," He has extraordinary efforts during the 6 years of uninterrupted.

His body was almost a skeleton. The more physical abuse, his purpose as far back as his target. The practice of giving extreme pain and that his efforts to invalidate the practice proved a complete failure. Now, through his own experience, he firmly believes the best mortification is vain, only weakens the body and result in corrupt spirit.

Through the experience itself was priceless, he finally decided to follow an independent path, avoiding the two extremes: bohemian and mortification. Living bohemian spirit slowly making progress and doing penance for weak minds. His new path to explore the middle path (Majjhima patipada), who later became a prominent characteristic teachings of His teachings.

A good morning, when he was entered into meditation, do not have any supernatural powers to guide and help, which only rely on effort and his wisdom, his radical period roots all pollution, purify themselves, the true insight of things, attained enlightenment at the age of 35. He was not born as an enlightened being, but he has become enlightened by his own efforts. You can now complete a virtue preached by his profound wisdom coupled with infinite compassion, His noble sacrifice his life to serve the rest of his humanity, by virtue of exemplary and without any personal motive that dominates.

After 45 years of complete fullness of his lofty vocation, Buddha and all the people, adhere to strict laws of impermanence, finally he has been dead 80 years. He advised the students see teaching as masters of their own.

Buddha was a human being. He was born as a man, as a human life, and ended his life as a man. Despite being a man, He has become a brilliant (Acchariya manussa), but never themselves as gods. Buddha emphasized this important point and not to place anyone fall into the mistake of thinking that he is an immortal god. Fortunately, no deification in the case of Buddha.

However, one should notice that no public masters "by atheists such as Buddha, but also no one like the same spirit."

Buddha is not the embodiment of the Hindu god Vishnu as some people believe, he's not a savior who saves others generous with his own salvation. The Buddha advised his disciples to rely on himself freed, because both purity and defilement are dependent on him. To justify his relationship with his disciples and emphasize important points to rely on themselves and individual efforts, the Buddha clearly taught: "You must endeavor, the Tathagata is of the Master ".

Buddha directions, and our obligation is on her way to calm myself.

"Rely on others to release the negative, relying on ourselves, is positive."

Rely on other people to miss the meaning of his own efforts. To encourage students to rely on themselves, Buddha in the Mahaparinirvana (Parinibbana Sutta): "You take her to the island, take your refuge, not to find a place to take refuge others ". These teachings meaningful uplifting themselves. We show how dynamic effort themselves to the achievement of its purpose, and how futile the search for salvation savior of the charity, or vain desire happiness in a future life birth by worshiping imaginary gods, or by prayers and unrequited sacrifices meaningless.

Moreover, the Buddha did not claim exclusive fruition of enlightenment, in fact it is not the prerogative of a particular person's grace. He has reached the highest level of perfection that people can expect, and is a very open masters, he opened a single straight path leading to Buddhahood. According to the teachings of the Buddha, whoever (if necessary effort) may also wish to reach perfection. Buddha did not condemn men are coward, on the contrary, he encouraged them, told their hearts this ancient capital purity. In his view, the human world is not evil, but being deluded by ignorance. Instead of making disciples own frustration and just keep their lofty status, and encouraged him to follow his lead them, because potential Buddhahood in all living beings. In a sense, all beings are the Buddha.

A desire to be called a Bodhisattva Buddha (Bodhisatta), which means wise position. The Bodhisattva Ideal lifestyle is good and noble ever raised between this selfish world, because there is nothing more noble pure live and serve. As a man, he reached Buddhahood and proclaimed to the world the potential super Vietnamese and creative abilities of humans. Rather than put an invisible omnipotent God on man, arms control guess destiny of humanity, turning them into slaves to a super power to Vietnam, he emphasizes the value of humanity. He Himself taught that man can gain liberation and purification by self-effort without reliance on an external God Beings clergy or intermediate clouds. He Himself taught this selfish world serve noble ideal and carefree. Himself against the degrading caste system, taught equality of mankind, provide equal opportunities for all, in order to free themselves up in all walks of life.

He stated that the door leading to success open to all people in all conditions, high or low life circumstances, and criminal sages, who wants to turn a new page and wish life was complete .

Regardless of skin color, race and class, he founded a congregation of men and women, single and democracy. He will not have to rely disciple of his teachings or his main dependence that allows them complete freedom of thought.

He encouraged the bad guys with some comforting words. He cured the sick outcasts. He helped the poor and helpless.

He advanced the deluded life, purify the fallen sinful life. He encouraged the weak, the mediation division, who enlighten delusion, unravel the mysterious monk, honest guidance, advanced vile, increasing the noble dignity. All the rich and poor, saints and ordinary people, are a joy loves him. The tyrannical king and virtuous, the generous millionaire and stingy, scholars haughty and humble, the poor man's loss, the garbage man trampled, brutal murders, the she despised courtesans - all benefited by the compassionate teachings and wisdom of God.

His noble example is an inspiration to everyone. Styling peaceful mind is the image of His tenderness for the secret eyes. Mission of peace and tolerance are all welcomed him with joy unspeakable, and those lucky enough to hear and practice will permanently benefit.

Any Where his teachings penetrate, leaving it all on the personality of the different ethnic groups was an indelible impression. The cultural advancement of all peoples is the main Buddhist teachings through His wonderful. That's right, all the Buddhist countries such as Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Nepal, Tibet, China, Mongolia, Korea, Japan etc. .. have grown up in the cradle of Buddhism. Although these are the master passed away in 2500, so that his unique personality remains a strong influence on all who know him.

Thorough homage to the Buddha, Sri Radha Krishna said: "For the Gautama Buddha, we have a spiritual teachers come from the East, thought and influence on human life does not give place for anyone, and He is the founder of a religious tradition is not far-reaching as any religion does. His thoughts on the history of the world, belong to the common heritage of the people are uneducated, and impartial review of the intellectual virtues, moral fervor and spiritual enlightenment, he certainly is one of the greatest figures in history. "

Speaking of three great men in history, historians writer like HG Wells wrote: "Through the Buddha, you see that He is a simple, fervent, lonely battle, because the light of truth, a personality vivid, real, and not a mythological character. He also gave a message of humanity is universal universal character.

Many modern ideas and modern our most profound harmony with Buddhism. He teaches all the misery and all disputes are caused by selfishness, before a person can become calm, he must renounce sensual lifestyle because of his or her life for. Then he becomes identified with a lofty. Five hundred years before the Christian faith (Christ), in a voice other things, the Buddha urged humanity to self-forgetfulness. In some respects, he closely with us and our needs better. He scrutinizes the personal values ​​and mission of our Christian faith more and more dubious about the problem of human immortality. "

St. Hilaire said: "Buddha is the perfect model of all the virtues which he says: His life is not a stain."

Fausboll said: "As many know him, the more I love Him."

One of his humble devotees might say: "You know how much more you, the more I love Him, love Him more and how much more I know Him."
