METHODS Nianfo

 

 ***

It is no coincidence the Tran Dynasty, the Zen Buddhist concept method Truc Lam focuses on the application in real life spiritual experience in the Republic of Vietnam hall. Although this period saw the birth of Truc Lam, certainly the practice of meditation is practiced method is considered important to calculate the Buddha. However, the method is still recite Buddhist Truc Lam recommends all men, all members of society should endeavor to practice, practice diligently everywhere, in every circumstance is worth mentioning.

Design thinking, since Buddhism was introduced into Vietnam by Ly, the integration process of formation and development of fully converged cardboard Zen, Pure Land, Honey takes the spiritual life of the community Vietnam. So, we can say nianfo method has also been interested in Buddhist practice in our country a long time ago. The purpose of chanting the most negative mental disorders and also to current students about water for Bliss of Amitabha Buddha. In China, we see his teachings Hue Vien Buddhist concept is initiated early fifth century, the emphasis on mindfulness. In our country, in the Ly, 1057, a statue of Buddha Amitabha two feet and a half high stone west corridor was a minister of King Ly Thai Tong made at Lan Kha mountain, Tien Du district, Bac Ninh province. Amida statue is still in Phat Tich Pagoda, Bac Ninh. Beer stone pagoda still write about this subject area constructed house (1). Books fluid Zen poems also noted, in addition to meditation Giantess enshrined Amitabha Buddha to worship, also referring to the Pure Power is a teacher who has attained the legal "Eighty Buddhist concept" thanks elaborate Buddhist concept that is samadhi. Zen masters also taught his disciples should not demand realizations from the outside and if you want to eradicate the evil should now apply the method Buddhist concept of mind and mouth. Clearly advocated teachings Buddhist concept of Pure Land sects in our country have been common and practiced in the temple may have been operating in the Ly dynasty, but can confirm the reason is to practice mindfulness Buddha went into real life spiritual experience of living of all the people Vietnamese University.

To the ceiling, in the spirit of most of the First Buddhist sects into concrete, concrete Meditation taken as the official ideology and development activities for the Church, but the Buddhist leader as well as national leaders Sale includes meditation, meditation, as well as the king as Tran Thai Tong, Tran Thanh Tong, Tue Trung Truc Lam and Tam The heirs still practice the traditional method which has been shaped and developed as Buddhist concept to put into program activities and professional practice in the meditation. Based on the course material damage continent, Tue Trung language Sgt continent, Three To actually record, Residential ceiling ... heretics rich Buddhist Tran Nhat tone, we see the formation and development of Truc Lam impact on the lives on many areas of our country. Also through the aforementioned documentation, we also have access to living life to meditate through various methods such as Buddha, Bai, nuanced meditation but meditation is a landmark of Vietnam Buddhism variables in the process of development and integration bring Vietnamese identity. And so, Truc Lam Zen sect under the leadership of the sect enlightenment, has set up a real-life experience of spiritual practice for the practitioner, the ultimate goal is enlightenment between life according Zen principle goal, which is the historical record. People can learn the use of different methods of meditation, but finally found enlightenment in this lifetime. Right from the start, Tran Thai Tong, Tue Trung, Tran Thanh Tong and Tran Nhan Tong, Phap Loa, Huyen Quang and successors are consistent sect such views.

The technique is different so radical, base different location, but the truth is only one. Therefore, each work in the writings of the sect have discussed various aspects of Zen. In particular, in such works, Buddhist mindfulness practice has been mentioned as a method of meditation is guided from low to high, from simple to complex, with each meditation radical learning objects direction.

The ultimate goal is to become Buddha is calculated. In fact, in the Tran dynasty, in a historical context the whole nation determined to build an independent country Dai Vietnam, autonomy, prosperity, sustainability not only on territorial borders but also in many ways, different areas. I am not surprise that Tran Thai Tong - the first king Tran, is also proposed meditator to realize themselves as well as advice to people, "Take the will of heaven do his will, take heart as the center of its galaxy. " Therefore, people need to keep a calm mind, do not let dust dirty mind to promote spirit and desire to share his heart for everyone in the family and in society. All goals are not out jointly build and defend the country with good religious life good.

The purpose Buddhist concept according to Truc Lam eliminate bad idea, instead it is a good idea to clean the mind becomes completely. People live in a turbulent society, the need to identify said first lock files damaged in all continents through Nianfo argument is always a thought of good heart, when the concept of charity run bad idea does not have the charm start "the center of mass of good news is good. Mindfulness is good start to the retributive karma ". So, people should have the good idea, the concept of good, wholesome thought what better way is not the Buddhist concept. Buddhist concept that is capable of handling mistakes, so that now extinguished three evil body and mind. In conclusion Nianfo, Tran Thai Tong wrote: "Uh, the chief Buddhist concept itself is presentable, any misconduct action, ie the bodily field. Export procedural languages ​​foot, whatever direction slept, immediate verbal field. The diligent exist, any idea from me, the wild now immediate attention ". (2) (nianfo While sitting straight body, no evil work, so now off the body. Mouth recite genuine, not blundering say, that is now off the mouth. intently at the Italian diligent, no evil thoughts arise, is now the world is off). Functions like chanting, but the practice of each method based on the object location based high-low split.

In fact, according to Tran Thai Tong, in class society there are three candidates for the three types of location: upper position, middle position and lowered position, with three ways to practice Buddhist concept.

The first is the location for the upper classes who know the mind itself is Buddha mind, live in contaminated dust without ceiling, without reciting anything more. They are the people who have been enlightened, not even the defiled mind, live in dust life without life, an order in which to contribute to life, just as all Comments Nianfo record: "he used to place the Mind is Buddha, not through additional practice. The thought is not caught a bare dirt. Net capital idea to dust, so to say, "as such is not the Buddha." Buddha ie our body, no two generals. General and Minister not two, often quietly exist constants. Exist that do not know, it is a living Buddha "(3).

Second possibility for objects based middle position. This is the second part in society. People have this base level position to mobilize the will, using good idea to repel evil thoughts, for they have no chance of appearing. Finally, they also have the same level as the higher wisdom: "Tier surely punished by Buddhist concept. Note ardent, always forget the notion that his mind is not pure self improvement surely. The thought was good out the evil thoughts will dissipate. The thought of evil has been shattered, only good thoughts. Using the idea that conscious thought, all thoughts were cut off. When the idea was doomed surely return to the director; all died at par would be fun Nirvana "(4).

The way Tuesday for people with low radical position, the largest in the society. For these people, their attention toward only Buddhist country, looking forward to get rid of the dust in this life. When dying pure heart, born in the country of Buddha: "He lowered mouth position diligence anniversary Buddha, formless desire to see the Buddha, was born in the water body Buddhist prayer, day and night of hard practice, not discouraged change , so until death will face all good intentions that Buddha was born in the country; then interpret the law and Buddhas yet attained Buddhahood is the Bodhi "(5).

Yet each base position but of different people who possess a liberation. In the three-way Buddha, Tran Thai Tong appreciate the practice mode after the Buddhist concept because it is built on a solid foundation, suitable for mass majority. He recommends people start cleansing the body and mind from this way, two the other way, but it's easier said base really requires high charm, not everyone realized: "Three shallow depth class was different position, but the getting is a concept taken place ... Who do lower level, take the stairs diligent work, attention to good grace, pray Buddha was born in the country. If not prompt diligent, mature mentality is born in water after Buddha died. School who received the body today, surely there are three now. The Buddhist concept not used to living on the water for Buddha, why not also difficult! Almost as if to recite the Buddha's way down take place as the first "true spirit that Tran Thai Tong wrote in Lock corrupt continent.

And so, the method nianfo become habitual practice eliminated gradually, towards mature mind becomes calm. The king is reasonable to target the largest component of society's lower level position. The object is to remember to think about the practice of Buddhism. Focus on an object thought is a form of "only" further evident that consciousness manifest what actions, there must be repentance wrong. This is a form of "consistency". When was customary to see things, to awaken the wrong things will adjust. This is a way "consistent but just religious" is actually the first step of meditation.

The method applied in the traditional Buddhist mindfulness meditation, Truc Lam proved ingenious step towards mass meditation on the path to go from low to high, focus inward, find the Buddha himself. This results from a change to bring content to Pure color shades "meditation" that the king tried to build and develop the Truc Lam Zen. This policy has been fulfilled through the rest bibliography demonstrates. In terms of contents Sergeant Chen Tung, sheets 34b4-6 has recorded a loss of words given great Western Townships (6):

Sima interior core area Amida (Amitabha Body treasure in my heart),

North South East West Legal mantra (Four local body radiating immense legal).
cases not only is she rotating periods (see The sun only lone white area)

Glared savagely murdered revenues (revenues night settles in the universe).

By Tran Nhan Tong, method standpoint Zen Buddhist concept, is recorded in various heretics Residential ceiling, in the second question:

"Pure is pure in heart, do not even ask to expect the West;

Amida is the enlightened, buy hard to find on Ecstasy "(7).

From here we can say if in the beginning Tran, Tran Thai Tong Buddhist concept proposed method meditative style, but without any past recite Buddhist Nembutsu text until the conclusion Tue Trung Thuong Si Insight Middle and Residential ceiling of various heretical Emperor Tran Nhan Tong Buddha appeared in the literature Vietnam Buddhist University, we know the title so people recite the Amitabha Buddha. Clearly, the Buddha, the Buddha's name and explain ideas Buddhist concept of Tran Thai Tong, Tue Trung, Tran Nhan Tong and people later became popular style meditation brings.

Without any further discussion! The intention to make an end to the Buddhist concept of evil, until they reach the ultimate non-conceptual. Countless major categories of the concept is that any Zen practitioner must also gain experience and certification. Vinh Gia Huyen said he Enlightenment (665-713) in witness cases as "non-conceptual Thuy, lobe infertility" (8), which Tran Thai Tong deliberately quote to end the introduction of Buddhist mindfulness post a comment.

The method concept in the spirit of Zen Buddhism since become the method of meditation and development to this day in the hall Vietnam. Generally, meditative style of the Tran Truc Lam Buddhist concept manner is charming and the best option in order. With methods such Buddhist meditation concept, is intended to say that the Truc Lam Zen aims to create spiritual life for everyone peace, happiness and life after this life, and contribute to building development of religion and ethnic Vietnamese days a flourishing University, and sustainability.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGHTFOLD PATH.NAM MO SAKYA MUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.19/6/2014.
