I was always in the spring, but how to express the love for others that spring out, to me is a very difficult problem. Although it is so, but instead Dong Van, the abbot triangle Munchen in Germany has asked me to write articles for the temple spring, love is concerned but did not dare refuse, fearing that the writing of the winter-spring that makes the reader cold, or a dry hot summer. To avoid this situation, so I borrowed this topic instead of the word spring spring. He hoped that the Buddhist temple and thus not bother.
The content that we will discuss in this short article is "Who is that he sees the Buddha way, anyone see him that way Buddha". Actually, this topic is not the author put that capital is the Buddha's teaching is found in many places of a function or Nikaya.
The cause of this sermon Buddha said, because he came home potter Vakkali, are severely sick, dying, but very pleased to look is the face of the Buddha and bowed one last time before he died blindly , but it is impossible to be the abode of Bhagavan, so he came to the attendant Vakkali has also invited the Buddha to his place. So contentment Buddha has personally visited Vakkali brethren. After the Buddha asked:
- This Vakkali, if he has nothing to blame about the law, so there is nothing to wonder or regret?
The venerable Vakkali said:
- For a long, venerable sir, I want to see the Blessed One to be, but my body is not strong enough to get to see The Sun ..
The Buddha taught that:
- Well just then, this Vakkali, there is nothing to see for yourself what this smelly. This Vakkali. Who found legal, the person that I am, who saw me, he saw law. [1].
Above is the dialogue between Bhagavan and Vakkali. Through the conversation, it suggests we understand a few basics of Buddhism. The problem we first need to determine where it is. Buddha and the monks standing Vakkali two different positions. Vakkali brethren stand from the emotional angle, with reverence, bowed and eyes to see Buddha's face one last time before the eternal place. However, not standing Buddha from the sentimental to comfort Vakkali simple. Conversely him as a guru Vakkali last visit and continued to lead The venerable Vakkali realize the truth to enlightenment and liberation, so he taught: 'Nothing is changing with the This stinking bodies'. In my opinion the inner meaning of this word brings two deeply meaningful. First, he showed us that he is human and normal like many other people, so his body is like many other body, should have a sleep eating, also sick sick state and excretion. These substances are excreted from the body, he also has a foul smell like secretion of others. Do not be naive to think that the Buddha is no longer the phenomenon. If we think that, Buddhism and different beings, the only difference is that the difference between perception, ie the difference between the enlightened (Buddha) and unenlightened. He was not the kind of enlightened psychological suffering, but the suffering of the wild type remains, such as hot and cold, sick hoan.vv.. Unenlightened And people with both types of animal suffering natural physical and psychological. It's the greatest suffering is human suffering psychological, not physical. Second, he'd say, Vakkali who live too heavy emotionally, too much emphasis on the external form of the Tathagata, does not see the true value of the securities in which he had been under the tree Bodhi. The value of the Buddha's truth is not good 32 or 80 general beauty. Then faced by Vakkali want the body of the Blessed Minister to do? What is useful for the remission serious illness he suffered? What help is coming close to death that Vakkali face? Prior to this torment, but only Bhagavan was teaching new evidence may terminate or at least alleviate the suffering of Vakkali, the measures that need to Vakkali truth of it is that before death, life without renunciation useless, no good case for myself what is to benefit beings.
So the truth he attained under the Bodhi tree is what? That doctrine of dependent origination (pratiya-samutpada), the principle of operation of the universe and humans, the world is not an object, a person or disappeared survive without the principles. This is the sense in which the Buddha presented in the "Business Review A function" with the following contents:
"French origination do not do that, do not do to others. Although Tathagata appears or does not appear in the world, this approach still exists. Tathagata This self enlightenment, the enlightenment equality ... "[2]
Doctrine of the Buddha enlightenment under the Bodhi tree where interdependent origination is operating principles of life, not by the Buddha himself created that it is the principle of operation of man and the universe , not something a person to operate outside the law, so called doctrine of dependent origination is the truth. From the truth of the Buddha is meant as such, is not ambiguous words, lack of facilities. Pursuant to the doctrine of dependent origination, the Buddha pointed out human nature no such thing as a self (atmam) or soul, the things are always in a state of change shift, the shift Buddha called this impermanence (anitya), does not have a legal standing fixed. Beauty, wealth, status .... Even if we have tried to keep anywhere, and are also subject to change at some point. The difference between a wise man and a fool is right or wrong perception, that is our attitude about how this situation. The location is certainly not forced to do something against the law, so when things move very often, people do not mind so that students are anxious or upset hostility, only fools like new start a stationary object in its sole discretion. Want to be without cause painful birth.
Because loving beings misfortune of suffering, the Buddha according to radical and different levels of each being, all using different means being visible only for the truth, for they are enlightened and liberation sect that formed, with the State division. From this point it suggests we understand, the French origination, impermanence, selflessness is the truth, the means or the different forms of education, it is not the truth, because it is only valid, and in accordance with a specific audience and certain, the truth can not be common to all human beings and different societies, so the truth is not known. Here I want people to notice one thing that admiration which is very good and very necessary, but we should not confuse this tribute means understanding Buddhism. Stemming from that worship admiration, we have speaker is indiscriminate, sometimes lesions in the Dharma. For example, we often say that Buddhism is the truth, while we introduce some perspective on Buddhism, it has absolutely nothing to do with the value system of human life, sometimes harmful for life. In an effort to introduce the Buddha, make people see the truth clearly to be enlightened and liberated, we do the opposite to introduce people to the point of social obscure, dark, lack of facilities, lack of scientific light. So the point is that how truth is known? Maybe that's true and reasonable for a certain element in society, but not all, so can not be called the truth. That is why the Buddha: Believe me I do not understand is that our butts down. Activity of the brain and the heart are two different areas, both essential for human life, but can not substitute for each other. Hearts and minds that instead of thinking of the life that appears to know how the clutter and confusion; minds that replaces the heart's work, human life was like building activities project, so we should not confuse minds and hearts. In my opinion, should live together with hearts and minds to work with.
Through a presentation on it to help us interpret the sentence: Who saw the law, he sees me, who saw me, he saw law. Here I only concept for the Buddha, so this question is to understand who has seen the way, he saw the Buddha, who saw the Buddha, he saw law. French here just for the teachings of dependent origination. Who saw the origination methods, he also saw impermanence, egolessness of things and even myself. Who has seen very often selfless they would not be accepted: "This is my my my self", thus enlightened and liberated. Here, the concept of enlightenment and liberation concepts that describe the results of the show and know, from the Buddhist wisdom is used, the result is the practice of the Buddha under the bodhi tree . This Enlightenment has made himself free from the binds of suffering, so called liberation. Anyone who awaken will be the salvation that He is not high not low. Contemporary also has many people of many different classes to practice his teachings, was also enlightenment. After living in his teachings, the enlightenment, they felt that the difference between the way the practice of Buddhism and the religious traditions of India very far. Buddha advised people "to Buddhism to see and know, solving suffering, not to believe" and other religious beliefs are strong mantras and prayers. That's why many people say after listening to the Buddha went legal statements:
"It's rather wonderful, venerable Gotama! The venerable Gotama, such as standing up to what people were thrown down, exposing what is covered, who directs astray, or bring light into the darkness to those who have sharp eyes can see. Similarly, dharma has been used more venerable Gotama media presentation, explain. "[3]
Thus, the highlights of the Buddha Shakyamuni's enlightenment, liberation, not 32 or 80 good general beauty and principles to become enlightened liberation is found to be legal interdependent impermanent self. So, who wants to see the Buddha, then he must see approach. Also, nobody has seen very often interdependent approach also means selflessness he saw Buddhism, because Buddhist concepts with concepts only way to see the truth and the truth.
So, if you want to look Vakkali bhikkhus Buddha is to be faced by the enlightenment and liberation, if Vakkali homage to the Buddha, the Vakkali should practice his teachings, if Vakkali to the well except for his suffering is Vakkali yourself to enlightenment impermanence and interdependent self., even if Vakkali of beings like the first Vakkali enlightened to the truth. It is the content and meaning "Who is that way, he saw the Buddha, who saw the Buddha, he saw law" when he advised bhikkhus Vakkali sick time.
Despite that, this is the teaching of the Exalted Vakkali brethren in the past. I believe that the content and significance of it is still valid practical Buddhism today. Are we trying to smear lipstick gold good minister praised the Buddha's 32, but we accidentally or deliberately forget that his teachings have enlightened? Does our reverence for all the praise, the introduction of the system super Vietnamese Buddhist philosophy, but we forget that the young generation is the generation today is the growth in social progress the technical sciences, and are trained in advanced education system, with high qualifications, they will be difficult to accept the view groundless obscure science. While the majority of people in today's society, interested in issues related to human and social survival that they are, are not the problem super philosophical Fig.
I believe that the teachings of the Buddha's enlightenment teachings to people, objects that Buddha is human education. Though teaching system that addressed the specific issues in the past, sometimes unsuitable for humans and today's society, but through other forms of education, it still harbors mental principles of education that he wanted to send to the next generation is not the same society and territory. That principle, that spirit of absolute value, applicable to all times and people.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.17/9/2013.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
