OVERHAUL OF THE FIRST PAY THE NECESSARILY HAVE OR NOT?

The word closure is not in India, in China until after the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty to even see that shows that practice mode. So can see the level of practice is not necessarily closed. Conversely, people who are not necessarily closing line of practice.

Close can be derived from the long-term cultivation in the caves of Tibetan Buddhism. Then the kings Lama teachings from Mongolia into China's domestic transmission, the new method gradually closed in vogue.

In practice, the method is the best course of time, methodically, with certain periods. For example, 7 days, 21 days, 49 days, 100 days etc. ... on time to get certified. Dedicated practice a method that, if circumstances allow, if necessary, can last semester a year, 3 years to 6 years, 9 years, ten years, but not certain individuals have solitary practice. For example, in the rainy retreat in times of Buddha, meditation period is 2 seasons are winter and summer. In mainland China, there are many practitioners to practice together. The patriarchs Tendai sect posed methods penance, rituals and all the people associated with 6, 7, a dozen people to practice. During the rainy retreat, when the Buddha was alive, we also conduct practice within certain range or under trees or in caves, or in the empty house of laity but not all modes of practice as currently closed.

In China at the beginning also a teacher after some "enlightenment" is, the knowledge base leads to improved river under trees, in forests, caves to solitary practice in a number of years. The most outstanding example is Chung Nam Son, there have been 72 houses made of reeds. First, this is where personal practice, later gradually erected temples and institutes, but the life in still pictures last forever. At the grass is itself equipped with cooking utensils and get foods vegetables, cut into thorny mountains, braided grass to avoid the wind and rain, alienated people in a long time. But such methods of practice, but as the method is close but not close. Recently there are two kinds of people practice the closure method:

1. Those who want to avoid the harassment of secular employment.

2. Those who want to meditate or concentrate diligent study of the Tibetan plateau. Type the first monk who lived like a hermit. The latter category is a real sincere people. If only because of the need to cultivate more money or help foreign conditions, they may be assisted. After closing the door without knowing practice methods, he does not know how to do, what measures to take in the scriptures but have closed 3 years, 5 years and no achievement. If due to meditation and reading scriptures, which already has sophisticated facilities and meditation have grasped how, go to the scriptures measures are also obtainable otherwise not very big achievement.

Talk about the definition of the higher education practice, it is the people wholeheartedly, devoted practice, at least those who have eyes and hearts were opened, but did not reveal to the outside, patience, endure hard work and patience have things that other people do not dispose of it, but in their hearts, but not as bright as mirrors manifest out, but actions speak stupid, foolish, but in fact is very clear, compassion. Someday, the maturation of conditions that might yell climb mountains were ten thousand thousand, respectively, for the sentient beings who are not comparable without leaving traces. If causal immature, but living life without reducing the light of his life. As Han Son, Dac Cross, suites are all higher education practice. If the people behind this good without collection of poems, the verses handed down to their descendants, who knows that history has ever had such characters. Simile as Mencius said: "Success is doing good for the earth, his own distress, the good life." This is like saying Buddhism is the practice of higher interest and take care of the light for it. Therefore, higher education practice may be closed and may not necessarily through the process and close the form. If the conditions allow, if necessary, the closure is also one of the best practice methods to eliminate the complicated rupture with foreign coast.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.MHDT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY=19/8/2013.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
