Moral life according to Buddhism
***
The spirit of the rule according to Pali Canon, the Buddha precepts are very simple rules, and the system is not parsimonious as the laws of the latter, that does not mean to say is flawed, but we must understand that, That is the core spirit of the rule, it covers all the commandments of the Vinaya.
We do not need to go far, look right at home through daily newspapers is enough for us that the current social evils like. Alcohol, robberies, gambling, prostitution ... happens often, if we have time to spend several years or a lifetime to statistics and facts that can not ever be, so that journalists not even unemployed, the evils of this narrative, tomorrow another bad report. Dealing with this issue leaders, educators, the religion ... very interested, and have proposed many measures to prevent, prevention, of course, more or less also reap picking a certain result, but in fact, as we saw, the social evils growing everywhere in the world. Thus, any cause, promote motivation they appear? This is a topic I will cover in this article.
For the problem, of course, each of us have opinions, arguments different ways, depending on your outlook on life, of course I would not dare discuss your opinion is right or not true. Here I just do not give a fresh perspective that is only based on the teachings of Buddha drawn to the problems experienced in building a healthy society, morality alone.
1. Develop ethical life for the monastic
In most of the Pali Canon, the ideology of Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism, the Buddha always advises his disciples to live in the spirit of the rule, as he took the rule, because it is the foundation for building a harmonious community living healthy, ethical, and it is also the first ladder to the ordained into the path of wisdom. Let's listen to your heart reminding the Buddha before he attained Nirvana:
"The Bhikkhus after our passing, the teacher must respect, reverence pure precepts, like the blind dark eyes that are bright, but the golden poor. Must know the world is noble virtues of the master teacher. If one lives in the world is no different to that net. " ( Horror Church , the translation of TT. Thich Tri Quang).
The Buddha precepts such as blind eyes are bright again, the poor are golden. Did Buddha-hyped, highly discipline? Dear no, he never intended to deceive or deceptive us. Life and his teachings have proven that the reason he taught that, because He wants us to alleviate suffering in life to be like him peace. Want to be the same, each one of us to voluntarily comply with certain principles, it is the rule.
Moreover, the ultimate purpose of man's pursuit of happiness and peace. It runs so, do toil on all day and only in exchange for rice dishes, and clothes and all that has been exchanged for the moment happy to eat and wear. Thieves prowling through the night to steal something, then sell, take the money, only to finally buy happiness moments drinking with meals, smoked opium, or a night of pleasure ... In the end, we are seekers of happiness. But where happiness? There in the ones that do not matter? I think that happiness is not something that should be in that happy attitude right in our behavior towards things that are correct or incorrect. Such as a knife, we use it in making the food angle, it gives us joy and happiness, by contrast, we use that knife to kill people or do bad things , we bring our suffering and insecurity. Every event in life is so similar.
As a ordained purposes is not over, but their happiness is ordained in the eternal happiness purity and liberation, not even the contaminated earth, but want to get enlightenment, one can not practice morality, meditation and wisdom, this process can be said to be the only way to reach nirvana. So therefore, brethren Buddha enlightenment want to practice 250 world. 348 nuns have sex. That is the principle to build a monastic life with intention liberated.
The spirit of the rule according to Pali Canon, the Buddha precepts are very simple rules, and the system is not parsimonious as the laws of the latter, that does not mean to say is flawed, but we must understand that, That is the core spirit of the rule, it covers all the commandments of the Vinaya. In the texts the "Great neighbors horse trading" - Mahassapuracuttom, Central X , the Buddha presented the principles of life to become a monk full of dignity:
"He let! Recluses! Brethren, ye people know that, and if you have been asked, "Who are you?". You have to receive "We are Sa subjects". Brethren, ye have been the same title, has self-identified as such, this time, brethren, you have to practice as follows: "We will maintain life and practice of the legal effect of Sa subjects. Thus the name of our new and right feet claiming this as our new truth "and the offerings we enjoy life, clothes, food alms, is clinical, pharmaceutical healing results big, big benefit for us, and we left home not useless, results have merits. "
Also in this Sutta, the Buddha presented respectively 7 Principles of a monk work as follows:
1. Know the quarter (Know ashamed of his wrong doings)
2. Personally purity (every action of the body must be clean).
3. Import pure action. (words straight truth).
4. The Italian practice chastity. (thinking in the morning)
5. Chastity Network. (The legitimate profession to clean)
6. Households over the house. (six bases Preserving no ceiling for six disturbances).
7. Notice mind alert. (Dwelling not mind a place for agitation). (Book led).
Through this article we find:
- Seven working principle of spiritual monk is the first precept of Buddhism. From the following principles of Buddha or the Buddha's disciples and formed to build Buddhist Vinaya detail and system.
- The seven principles are the foundation to build lives of dignity for people who have made an aspiration for enlightenment. As a part of this achievement, the principles of the subject title Sa was only right feet, as truth, and he left home not a worthless, he had great results, there is great benefit in life life of dignity, as the Buddha said. In contrast, the non-monastic practice these principles, the technical name of the Sa's not right feet, it's not as though he has form was ordained, he will become worthless. Thus he not reap what monastic life.
2. Develop ethical life for people at home
Buddha's renunciation building is so, but for the life of the house much longer bind the Buddha family building like?
To answer this question, we need only draw the first rule is to know in your mind already made seven principles guiding principles for implementing home. This principle is important in building a healthy society, ethical living.
According to the Buddha, deeply rooted social evils of all human virtues have lost your mind, that is no longer ashamed of his behavior wrong. Thus, when people are no longer ashamed then he can do anything evil.
Buddha image Venerable Rahula, just 7 years old when he came, at Am-ba-la forest (forest mango) it is moving. His Rahula recommend doing a bodily, verbal, attention now, if the body, speech and mind that leads to career self-harm, harm, harm both the professional bodies that, now that export, the industry's unwholesome. Rahula should not be doing, if they have missed making sense of shame, repentance for her career. He was more cautious, Rahula advised not to lie, even say to that play. Buddha result is great educators, not just those he counseled those in adulthood have an understanding, that he was interested in youth care, and education while building our childhood . His notion that the soul of childhood like white paper, if the paper is that talented artists painted beautiful flowers, it will adorn life colors. Conversely, if the paper was incompetent useless guys that illuminate the black ink, it becomes meaningless useless ones and bad society.
Here I want to say, fathers, mothers, teachers ... have a great responsibility in the education of the children of his. Most babies are damaged stems from the lack of education of the parents, or no parents to education, or no education method performance. We should not blame spoiled child that we just blame themselves lack a sense of responsibility for their education. Buddha has full responsibility mentor, revered, depending on the age of each person understanding that he has different teachings, very practical and effective.
For the youth, by preventing all forms of the seeds he incurred immoral behavior, as he taught Rahula "Being happy Sa subjects of those who know that lying is not know your mind" ( Middle Department I , World Economic Church in Forest Rahula Am Number three is 61).
Shame virtues essential for those who want to become better human beings, human beings have a healthy life ethically, it is the basic foundation for building a healthy society. Design thinking, the social evils growing, young deep into the rotten path, because people have lost the virtue or shame despised virtues. It is deeply rooted appeared all social evils.
As humans how to avoid mistakes, but so important, when we made mistakes, we know rehabilitated or not, we have revised ashamed and did not mistakes. Attitude good or not good for people to distinguish between sleep position and who, between good and evil, between social workers poorly and social construction.
In the Catholic world Rahula, Buddha images elephants used for combat, to give two examples of people on. For instance, the forest elephants battle, the battlefield, it uses two front legs, back legs, front torso, the body follows, using the head, ears, tusks, tail ... but it protects its tentacles. For example two, the forest elephants battle, the battlefield, it uses two front legs, back legs, front torso, the body follows, using the head, ears, tusks, tail ... and it always uses all its tentacles . In one example, the first elephant was found not throw away his own life, because it protects the hose know, for example, know your mind. In the second example, we see the second elephant threw away his own life, because it protects the hose not know, for example, who do not know your mind.
Through this example, we see more and more clearly the importance of human virtues have lost your mind, it is the underlying cause of all crime. So the Buddha should have come to the conclusion: "This Rahula Also, for those who know that lying, your mind does not know, he said that while there is no evil that he did not do anything "(led policy).
It's right, folks, you spend a few minutes to try to settle the soul truth, and contemplate life itself. You will see a bad behavior that the longer you take, because you have lost the virtue of vice shame for him, and implicitly acknowledges them as a normal event. Behold you take a look at: your child or children have bad habits or had an affair. Do you remember the first time we had an affair with spiritual eyes lie, I'm afraid you sneaky, if you do not educate them in time, the second, third and many times after, you will see on your eyes 's that boy? Of course not express fear or anything sneaky. We eat naturally clumsy and sex were considered as acknowledged by everyone.
From this we can deduce all other acts similarly derived.
Finally, I would like to borrow from the teachings of the Buddha in horror teachers to replace words ending this article:
"The shame is dressed best dressed in everything, like iron hook, shame capable illegal overpower everything human. So, bhikkhus, always shame, shame, virtue never forget that, only a temporary oil only. Losing is losing the moral disgrace. There is goodness shame, no shame, then do not spend other animals " (religious horror)
Through the Buddhist teachings, we see shame virtue is the foundation for building a healthy lifestyle, there are ethical. Whether at home or the home people should have that virtue. Loss of virtue was the proximate cause of all social evils. We are Buddhists, those who want to build a healthy society, try to keep him in every virtue, because it is the sharpest weapon to stop all acts of wrong, and it is also the best dressed in costumes everything.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.6/6/2014.
