UNCIVIL.

 

 

 

Buddha said, "All beings if all was down to the three realms, six roads rolling in is not a species is completely clean, without a just end to all sin is wrong" . If in particular, the amount of people who also say "dot-around", and in fact, from this old ring, no one dares call themselves perfect man, if he does not have a process elaborate good practice. So human error or mistake is very normal. There they are aware of this mistake or not? courage to confront it not? contrition is not modified? That is the key. The error does not recognize, do not want to muddy pang of guilt from not having to say it. But, for those who have good direction, want to let go of all sin is conceived in Buddhism there is a method called legal repentance, can help us to be satisfied. So after a Buddhist refuge must know and must comply with this legal repentance.

I / DEFINITIONS :

Repentance , Samma Sanskrit, Chinese translated as repentance. Kinh said: "Sam continental shield pre-, post-exchange foreign authors too" mean error of repentance before, after denying fault, or more clearly that remorse did the wrong thing and pray for compassion this will never be repeated. So, for those who have known bugs though, have heart remorse, but repentance is not modified, just back nostalgic Crime wrong things that are not called to repent. Repentance must always meet two factors are known bugs and fixes that error correction is the most important. It is because there are bug fixes, new advance disarmament guilty, not guilty later arise. So the business said "repent, sin is defeated, blessed birth, more wholesome big house" that's in place this amendment, not by Bodhisattva or Buddha wiped his sins.

II / THE repentance 

1.  Penitential wrong :

Rather, repentance is a private Buddhist terminology, refers to repentance and amendment mistake. But after the advent of the word abuse in ragged forms, please sins, absolution etc. .. make it become distorted. That is the way of the world to repent, as when sick sickness, ear and send them flying thought I was divine punishment, reprimand immediately kill a pack animal sacrifices demons begged forgiveness. Religion advocates asceticism, mortification, took her to expect abuse freed from sin. But the Indians still have spoken to who believe that Ganges water bath will be all offense, so they often dip into it and calling river Ganga is sacred . For Buddhists are also a number of people, especially in the remote and very remote but orbit, e revered memory Buddha, Wat but diligently went back and pray to God, pray for their sins emission when experiencing anguish, distress etc. .. Generally all forms of penance that are all wrong, not true Dhamma; very easy to put a man go to superstition. Buddhist concept so guilty because your mind is so repentant heart that kill amended. There amended mistake by stopping all evil actions, evil words, evil thoughts, the new offense will definitely not born, old sins will be reconciled. That's right feet penance.

2. Penitential right feet:

In Buddhism there are four methods to repent, of which three belong to the law and the law of the reason, which is:

§        Work Legal repentance (a)

§        Prime Minister repentance (a)

§        Hong identity repentance (a)

§        unborn repent (of)

Effects of repentance law : for sin is the statue of Buddha and a number of monks or nuns old respected director, strict discipline, sincerely expresses his sins and truly repent; volunteer before that person will never Jewels recidivism. Because of the earnest and confided their uplifting for the Buddha and the presence of monks and nuns, so from that force them to constantly fix what is wrong before. Thus, the new offense will not birth, old sins are dissolved.

 Prime Minister repentance : repentance is legal for people with a higher level of practice or where no monks or without purification. Want This penance for sinners before Buddha or Bodhisattva bowed sincere and committed manifest things, earnestly promised to him from denying certain date. Doing so from one day, two days, three days until the show was great generals, as that aura, that golden lotus flower, found early Buddhist bodhisattva to remove etc. .. The purpose for sinners to believe that his penance he was your witness, so positive in the inner transformation, cleansing sins, not daring recidivism.

 Red list repentance : repentance France by his French Property Division, compiled in the Chinese Song Dynasty. He took the name of Buddha in business 53 " ranks third decade Buddha "and 35 Buddha's name in the" Our county is King, be rewarded "with dharmakaya Amitabha and pray shelves modern city that made ​​this penitential rite . This shopping practitioner France 108 titles bowing to the Buddha, to remind practitioners excluding sections 108 afflictions, is the causative agent of sin. (Refer to Buddhist Schools - HT.T.Thien States)

In a nutshell, here are three ways depending on the repentance of the professor , but still requires an inner transformation mainly. This lack of cultural wealth, even thousands Lord Lord, repent thousands of times in a day and no results. So Buddhists have noted this point, do not forget to severe forms that are intentionally packed off inside. Must be used as a form of power decisively wipe out mistakes by three industry body, speech and mind cause. When three are now pure error and sin no past nor future, it is true repentance law.

 Unborn repentance : repentance France belongs to reason, very high, it is difficult to practice, just for people with upper radical frustrating. It has two ways:

- Interested unborn   is seen from his heart not really being present capital. Your mind is the mind starts wandering, though the concept of good or evil concept are also interested fluctuations, delusions under the hammer blows of being out of time so it is not really my interest. Tam truth has long been one of the bar the nature, do not expect the ( unborn ) ; did not expect it to do the sin being raised? Sin is the reason that birth by delusions mind. Mind delusions bad, evil effects on speech, the rise of sin. Thus sin is in the form of fake interdependent, so, if the practitioner is living with the mind's true (no raised center concept - the unborn ), the tangle of other authors where sin still valid? Like gold had lost in the fake gold hands become useless. Therefore, the business said:

 " I used to center the mind and spare boots continental

   Heart destroy the crime disadvantages doom

   I rounded the demand not mind killing

   Name the rule of penance feet "

This means that offenses come from your mind and heart to repent and amend from that kill. If the mind truly repent amended, do not harass, evil , sin is too old worn, no new crimes. I kept consumed, no new crimes (crimes deaths) , heart , free from all delusion (mind vanishes) ; both (offense and center) are not (not demand) . Is it true that the feet of penance .

- French troops unborn   is contemplating (in mind) deeply about being all things (the law)  which are not born, not kill. This is true regardless of damage to Minister of the procedure should be called the true form of law. It also called general formlessness, emptiness feet, feet, heart, feet, as, legal nature, nirvana , etc. .. If we realize and live with the true form as he is the minister of sin author, etc. ... are all void. 

 

III / BENEFITS repentance 

Human beings have one downside though imperfect, but in return, they are the evolutionary potential. It is because of the potential that the name evolved alcoholic, drunk after hours Sin tormented wife and children, they can not help being conscience nagging him that his sins poignant that fell remorse. Since then alienate friends, family tea room turned to wine whore, reformed back to life, even animals do eat. It is because of the potential that human evolution, though cruel to any size could not avoid the court while being quietly sanctioned conscience, so that they see their sin that turned good direction. Buddhists due diligence measures that true repentance is uplifting moral, noble soul, holy; significant contribution to human society mirrors for truth, beauty. Also, repentance helps us peaceful life, so happy because sin away, blessed birth, more wholesome big house . At the same time remaining firmly on the earth abides About. rule is strictly Dinh , knowledge radiated. It is inevitable lead to enlightenment career in tomorrow.  

 

IV. CONCLUSION 

In summary, repentance is one of the indispensable practice for Buddhists. As a Buddhist repentance must comply with its meaning, can not repent without exchange because exchange (edit) is important. Want to exchange (as amended mistake) Buddhists to have high self-discipline to transform their error arising from the body, speech and mind. Italy are masters of all evil behavior, so when the ideas appear decadent, corrupt, immoral, etc. .. we have time to take them to the place passed away (for any wandering thoughts) then sin would not have arisen basis.
