As you know, scientific civilization was quite developed nowadays and also helps people to solve many problems of human life: from environment to medicine, from the tangible issues the almost invisible ...... but ethical problems still arise and keep no signs of decline. Why such paradoxes? Rather, scientific development, the material is full of extremes, of social evils much relieved to go but, behind this increase is the star! This suggests that technology, science has not yet afford a great way to solve the ills to get help for human life happy, peaceful even tried, effort and maximum use the most advanced equipment to solve.
To say that you find that is not necessarily science, technology developers have been able to experience the happiness, nor as folk saying goes: " First there was also money , "... This problem .. you can discover immediately life around us, where there is a lack of poor material but their lives are still happy, happy family that still knew how the topping, fully equipped comfort, power must aspire, seek. So your happiness arise from? Affordable way to realize happiness matters related to the true spiritual path? Thus, the true religion also plays a role in the process indispensable to the welfare of humanity.
Thus religion has contributed to the complete process life like? This problem is quite large so the writer only analyze, share a few observations about his little dharma was unhelpful to young people today only.
1. The Dharma helps youth get a more accurate perception.
Modern civilization today has contributed to the perspective effects, the human mind, society should also focus more on the educational path of knowledge. And when people are raised position, it will inevitably lead to that all roads to support human life shall be in accordance with reason. This inadvertently led to all religious systems must also in agreement with the scientific knowledge of development to continue. So the spiritual path must also be consistent, compatible, to the intellectual depth and especially to all those human factors guidelines go to the source of true happiness. The main factors will determine the spiritual path which help life, youth or not?
Conditions for the teachings of the Buddha, the Dhamma or fully qualified. Moreover, the Dharma can help shape its youth a proper perspective and awareness can beyond knowledge of social sciences as well as Albert Einstein once said, and the HT. K.Sri Dhammananada recorded in his " Buddhist intellectuals Under Eye "by Thich Quang Tam translated:" The end of science is the starting point of Buddhism . " Written reiterated this to prove to you that one thing that sometimes religion which values knowledge, empirical way of life happiness higher than the perspective of the scientists and also to confirmed dharma always useful for social life.
Say so, make you think that only a sentence of Einstein, how convincing enough for the intellectual life of youth today is not it? Indeed so! And to see more clearly, let's look at the words of the Buddha had taught, claims between the cities people Kesaputta, Kosala than 2500 years ago and is recorded in the Kalama Sutta how:
"... the Kalama Hey, do not believe as hearsay, as is customary not to believe, do not believe because I heard rumors, do not believe for storied classics, do not believe for reasoning, do not believe for formulas, Do not believe because there is a full reflection of the facts, do not believe for police authorities and accepted theory, do not believe so appropriate, do not believe her teacher monk., but this of the Kalama, when the self-aware: The law is immoral, the law is objectionable, this is the legal position of criticism, this legal if made, accepted, leading to unfortunate suffering, this time the people Kalama, these people abandon them. "
Or as in prayer, " The Serpent Catch " Venerable Nhat Hanh is as follows:
"The teachings I said, the teacher must learn true meaning of a thorough and proper and should bring a new practice. If you do not understand the meaning of a thorough and proper manner, first ask to myself or ask the wise and the level of dignity, has " .
The announcement is yet another eloquent detail how the scientists of today where. Both require actual spiritual experience. And here the Buddha also taught very clearly: Which location is the criticized practice not bring happiness should not accept or believe in; or issues that were not understood a thorough way, you should consult with a good knowledge of these steps has been completed or the holy life, to help her understand the problem thoroughly, to get decisions right Should good in practice or not. A spirit, a very wise way of life that people think those who write intellectual love, true love can not help thinking and brooding.
Can you see it? The way the Buddha did not dogmatic in nature; the contrary is true with respect to encourage people to find out all the problems before they believe and practice. And in this teaching, the Buddha also send us a message about the spirit of self-reliance, self-employed and not taking yourself depended on whom any power or creed, any practice. The life of our happiness or misery are caused by the actions of his moral or immoral created. If we do evil, the desire for wholesome results, happily there are not? This was explained by the Buddha led a very practical examples and vivid in classic often mentioned: such as Christmas trees, but the river itself inclined toward the river, the wind rain storms. Or .... met a certain obstacles make the fallen trees will flock to where this tree: there must be poured into the river, or in the direction opposite shore above? Also, we gave life path of goodness, said efforts to cultivate happiness, the source material happiness in the natural flow without having to beg, who seek to bring, or a God somehow bestowed .....
Having said that, you still make that discourse, who do not like the philosophers have traditionally been given a lot of doctrine, but listen very practical way to achieve the results he shall not be How right? Contrary to this problem, the Buddha very real, not only for people to see clearly what is happiness, what is suffering; and then shows us the way to true happiness that goes. Therefore, in another passage, he only taught to see clearly and practice methods to achieve this goal was made.
As passages Kalama has been mentioned above, you can see very clearly that his advice about what to do and what not to do: that is the way evil and evil leads to suffering, the location was criticized, then we should decry removal. And then he presents in detail shows how the method called evil. This was recorded in all major canals of Central Economics and Knowledge, to help the audience know the method to make a living wisdom:
" Chu Hien, how evil, how evil is based obligations, how good, how is based basically good? current home, killing is immoral, not to be taken by immoral, unchaste in the sex is evil, lying is evil, speak two tongue is evil, evil is evil border, said the unwholesome frivolity, greed is evil, hatred is evil, evil is wrong. Chu Hien, so called evil. And the current owners, how evil is based duty? Greed is evil house duties, yard duty base is immoral, evil and delusion is based duties. Chu Hien, the so-called base obligation evil ..... ".
Through a few passages, we can see the Exalted has a detailed guide glass thoroughly, to help people realize the source, the source of suffering and happiness, as well as awareness clearly resolved journey to the root cause of suffering. At the same time all the teachings of the Teacher not come out of the category, method of solving their troubles, brain damage, the suffering of life. So some scientists, philosophers, cultural declared in one of his "Buddhist intellectuals Under Eye": "the greatest man ever, aura of great teachers This illuminates the world of suffering and darkness, like a lighthouse to guide and enlighten humanity. "
Indeed beacon that lit the Teacher has enough ability to enlighten minds find a way out of darkness to find the source of true happiness. Not only that, this light also illuminates guidance, and suggestions for the direction of scientific research on the road, looking for the truth of life. Thus, the new Albert Einstein said: " The end of science is the starting point of Buddhism ..... ". This is the best Vietnamese elements, distinct from philosophers, and also that he had sent messages to the general public, in particular young people aware of the way of life and method of making a lifestyle wise.
2. Perfection personified moral life
As recently presented the path that the Buddha has pointed out there are parallels between discourse and practice methods to arrive at the perfect life, the moral personality. The method was always marked by spiritual practices and bring happiness in your life right now, not only is not drawn on the cake, do not dazzle people that are enjoying the sweet salty taste, tasty cake What's unfinished. Spiritual practice was ubiquitous in the teaching of the Teacher. In any method of Dhamma practice have joy, peace and happiness while practicing the Buddhist term called "stay out of its peace" . Even in areas thought to be difficult, forced to Vinaya rules go further as there is always the presence of the spirit "stay out of its peace." Now you try to look back Chief Knowledge passages cited above to see more about this.
But here the Buddha did not mention any word precept, but what he has to teach about moral and immoral, legal or goodness and evil in this paragraph is exactly what the fundamental precepts for the lay-lay disciples of the Teacher. These principles do not live as close to being frivolous is not to say four in five of the basic precept lay white shirt. Although listed out 7 things to learn but actually the school thing: lying, speak two tongues, speaking evil import, say frivolous world just deploy Wednesday only. If you practice these principles that is already on the path of goodness and vice versa as killing, taking what is not given .... is evil, is the place to criticize. And learn to live with this world, the practice will have peace for themselves as well as fun for everyone.
When you live life not killing living creatures is that you are living with a loving heart, who loved animals injured. At the heart of your beloved presence, the joy, peace has been absorbed flowing in your veins, then, no need to wait until a certain date in the future there is the peace and happiness other than . At the same time not kill life itself has set himself a peaceful living environment, there is no reason for resentment, hatred that we are is left up to their habitats love with love , faith in people, as well as help for the fountain of happiness, happily ever present.
Such major life will help people get around peace of mind, do not worry, worry about the pant will be one of them killed .... There are only singling Principles first to clear your mental peace and happiness even while practicing alone; also the life principle also has similar properties, are also bringing peace and happiness to the right of the current practice. The spirit does not only exist in the realm of international law as just mentioned that they are present throughout all the teachings of the Buddha. So the empirical path of the Buddha Dhamma always bring peace and happiness in the present matter, including dry roads, as precept forced to go again. So we have become the signature of the teachings of Shakyamuni. And the way he can help humanity come to the perfection of human personality in other words it is the path to Truth - Compassion - U.S..
This is just a small aspect of the immense avenue of teachings but the value they bring, even as compared with the value of the other avenues. Though small, the taste of happiness, our happiness also the taste of the immense avenue; like the taste of sea water droplets with such other ocean. Now sure you've seen the spirit, values of Dharma capable help today's youth in particular and humanity in general and how. The rest are the steps you have to follow to improve their own personality and not only. This is exactly what the writer wanted to share with you today. Hope they benefit you as well as for the people.
