MEANING

VU LAN roses. Thich Nu CHAN TANH.GIAC TAM.

 
         For a long time, the Vu Lan holiday at the monastery, the organizers usually available to the cart Buddhists commission set up in the clothes meaning: the mother who set the red flowers, mothers who have lost the installation white flowers . Explain how the meaning set flowers on the shirt in the Vu Lan festival will be limited only in personal spiritual motherhood, lack of basic freedom and the spirit of Buddhism Tha India. 

Indeed, not only is the Vu Lan day signaling of children with their parents and grandparents. The reason we have this limited sense only because we know his story look Maudgalyayana Hell rescue her by secular eyes. If that story is seen by wisdom Maudgalyayana He is typical of the practitioner, through Dharma realization that know the suffering of living beings constantly ignorance, and her mother's bar to represent the defilement of beings crazy, thanks sincerely sympathetic Repentance is all that goodwill towards her own enlightenment. 

If you see these two characters through the prism of color, then set the flowers on new clothes Vu Lan day beyond the limited inherent, not just think about the mother, but also to start from yourself we. What should we do to deserve a flower?

In the spirit of freedom, we must learn. Studying here is up to fate, or good luck intellectuals have been directed, or due diligence we visualize, going from coarse to economic times, knowing that justice interdependent self renounce greed, pure body Center. The road is long but also very short, very easy but also very difficult, with the result that the Lotus Sutra:

Dan glass delusion
list of free
States was the prime
Necessarily freed

Which means, just leave alone falsehoods, has been considered, but any true liberation liberation liberation that is not ultimate. Delusion that everyone is a king's silk ties arising untold. So, the challenge is the scholarly materials, setting brave hearts found fossils of Bodhichitta. No vow, though torch up and we still do not know confused where to go! Vow to persevere and maintain, would serve the credit.

Hard! But economic well documented, we are comforted that:

Joked to the pupil Rings
sand group of Buddhist stupas
that such people
have a Buddhist.

Or say the more obvious, such as fear of not being believed:

Tolerance to the pupil joking
Or plants and pen
Or get your nails
painted as Buddha But
such people that
once contained the merit Activity
Full compassion
were a Buddhist.
If hearts scattered
on where the tower Temple
One claim Namo Buddha
were a Buddhist.

We often facile, identify themselves as Buddhists, but little attention reflective view of autism, as the Buddha, we truly believe and listen to his teachings or not? Buddhas are general damages Square, the damage language theory, is a long wide blade Minister, Minister of 32 fine, he just said the right words. So, as the Buddha, why we do not believe the Buddha say? Children playing by the beach, get sand up into Buddhist stupas, the children that are already a Buddha. Why so easily? Because our mind totally clean. The center diamond was, why they do not get sand up the car floor but up towers Buddha? Could it be, in our minds Buddhist stupas were available? Then the pen, plants, or more simply as her fingernails that concept image of Buddha or the Buddha's name, the person you are sowing seed to full bloom Lotus coast. It was too simple? Well, it is simple but that simplicity draft definition, concept sincere words that have come from blood bones, flesh, exhausted from the cosmos intellectual merit praise inconceivable to attain to: 

Directed sympathy inconceivable
lazy to Europe for colon
Ten Buddha is the shining glory

The ease, simplicity is the action to start from the center. Long Female Buddha offerings chained off, blinking, she was enlightened, son embodiment, passing through the southern realms his wife, sitting lotus treasure, expresses the mystery measures. Events like this are happening, but there must be a Buddha because Long Female offerings where mala, which is the act of offering gracious enough time practice of many lives.

We did not depart? Do not go, will not come. Not religious, not evidence. Take a step of slow but steady steps, the constraints on what is Prajna wisdom to calm the flock not appear immediately where "no evidence is not favorable." 

From there it is not enough, we also have to drop it. The closest, help parents find the charm of the island's known by the way, just a little sacrifice, a little effort, we can do it. It invites them, their shuttle to the temple of the fifteenth day, holidays, sometimes books, tapes, persuade them to listen; meeting times, meddling daily life is the story direction, but the area prove the miracles of deliverance when the realization of impermanence. Then from parents, dear, we recommend that further attacks friends, that's the range we associate director for education awareness pins, fake, the ignorance, the decision to release his birth and death are recovered.

As Buddhists, we all know that the humanitarian argument in hundreds of happy, happy leading hospitality. Kneeling before the altar Ancestors, we often apply merit to ancestors and ultimately forgetting that merits consideration is that? Certainly not at high deck plate full! So, what you would like to dedicate? As people do not send in tapes that property to the bank teller demanding money to withdraw!

The venerable Moggallana is, the disciple of the Buddha, has penetrated Sutras, brave volunteer force, location moral integrity but also to rely volunteer force of the entire Scripture Chu gathered up from ten the new day slowly merit, the metabolism of the mother bar to karma. But our flesh, flesh like signaling center parents and grandparents in the Buddhist sense to do this?

Nhan Vu Lan Day, let us together to examine the two fundamental: freedom and stocking. With the center, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas will uphold us picking roses Vu Lan is worthy of great spiritual gift message. This is the most meaningful gift we can dedicate to their parents and grandparents to the past, present and future money.
