The Buddha is real or not?

All the historical documents are proof that the Buddha is real and has lived two-fifty-six centuries. He is the son of a King in their line Like-ca (Sakya) ruled a small Kingdom at the foot of the Hy-Greek codes, paint, in a region of the territory of Nepal today. The name of the Lord is All-reaches-multiple (Siddharta), they are Having-discussions-that's why people often call the Buddha is Mr. Abbreviated-talks.

During his time as a monastic asceticism one referred to Him by a different name is Love-houses-ni, meaning "Saint of Silence of the lines they Liked-ca".

Once determined as follows will not assume the position as head of the interim authority holdings (i.e. politics) in the Kingdom of his father, He abandoned the sumptuous palaces to choose the life of a people cultivate. When thirty years then You achieve enlightenment and then start preaching. He has brought a tremendous incentive and founder of the collective renunciation. Mr President, in addition to the removal of his disciples when eight-fifty years.

The experience felt mainly would have meant that the Buddha became a founder of the religion?

The problem causing the Buddha every upset are extremely profound and unusual. Is that You have to ask why we keep embarks on a life always have to strive just to bring the violent and so endless that atrocity. Why do we have to remove the latent humanity in yourself to choose for themselves a life with full of hatred? Why, we hardly ever get a chance to prove that he is a human being? Why are we not able to accomplish what its constant desire to just wallow in the stuff should not do?
That's what the Buddha has concerns. People are being reached out to the margins of life. They struggle to bring success and happiness, but as the waving how much will it does goals become more remote agents.

While living in splendor, but the Buddha is also known to have many other people ever deny the flashy thing to turn away and forget about it (the ascetic seclusion in time). He wondered why that might be.

Contrary to what people often falsely understood, really I can't find are teachings would bring more confidence and optimism over the teachings of the Buddha.

The Buddha always grounded in reality and found only a single Street could open up an outlet for people. That's how should not try to find ways of dodging the suffering, real content and sad that keen efforts to learn them. Indeed there are many means of helping us to look at ways in which we are living.

The castle is full of comfort that his father has erected to try kept you out just as a prison with the wall erected by the fear. Likewise, we are also being detained in the prison of the AWE before the old disease, and death, and that is exactly what most terrible reality.

During the almost five-fifty years after gaining enlightenment until the President kills, the Buddha is not a time to remind us that we're kidding ourselves. We shouldn't hide and escape the fear and suffering that have to listen they learn them, and that's the only way to help we can remove them.

Let's look into the existence of ourselves to strive for. Not going to win, but I will not lose. Who is the man, we can afford to help himself freed from everything cangue chains-such as changing his mental shape possible.

Training methods of meditation will help us accomplish that.

It is also the path that the Buddha has opened up for us.

The Buddha is a God or a human?

The Buddha is not the same as the founder of other religions by just relying on Books-such as Abraham, Moïse, Lord of Christendom or Mahammed. The Buddha is not a Prophet (prophète/prophet, is Greek prophêtês, meaning a King for themselves is sacred, anticipate events will take place and based on that to that sermon by word or by letter writing. The events to which the input is usually the calamity will occur in the future-that means an intimidation). The Buddha by contrast just a casual person has raised the experience feel that every human can accomplish. He wasn't holding anything is God of revelation. No one gave him a message transmission is supernatural, sacred, or to a world other than this world.

Christianity requires the faithful to believe in God Christian news was the son of God died on the cross and then live again. The focus of the religion is based on a faith to rise above any ability to reason.

In contrast to the facts raised in the teachings of the Buddha, then simply rely on a can free and vivid of realities-spite can he form is implicit, i.e. also overlaid and obtuse. The path is just a simple way to help us realize what true shape and help it exposed in my heart. The Buddha did not care about God or the Sun otherwise. Oil again under the then Buddha can't help himself out to be. The only way is to sit down to look at the experiences felt by ourselves in every moment a, with all honesty and directness. Indeed nobody can do it for me.

At the moment when the Buddha is about to achieve salvation, means that you are about to step to the other side (to achieve enlightenment) it is also the time that He suffered the most intense offensive demonic. They all make Him have to be glamorous, the chemistry style to distract him, but at the same time it is also the time where he has displayed an extraordinary Act, an act unique in human history, bringing a depth infinity: He used his hand to touch the ground and borrowed the ground witness to Him.

Instead of pointing hands to heaven to let people know that their mission is due to God entrusted the Buddha back toward your hands down to the ground of this world. A lot of images represents the true mark of Buddha's subtle when He used his hands to touch the ground. Indeed there cannot be a symbol would carry more meaning than that to prove that first of all He's just a human being idyllic, idyllic as every human in all of us. One man walked on this ground and only interested in what the simple truth of reality without even waiting for the dream and hopefully far away.

But is due to the discovery of the hidden form escaped all cling and hatred always entice all of us commit on mistaken, that the Buddha has become a sacred creatures. The life and teachings of Jesus is what mighty represents an extended atmosphere, beyond all conception of life. For many schools, the Buddha is not a human being is born, live and die, which really is a form of spiritual are always present in reality and is the truth of the real thing.

When looking at a statue of Buddha we can also realize the transformation of a man, that's a mirror set up Utah's experience and determination have made a heart steeped by peace and love, is an extended atmosphere of pure love and compassion of both reality anymore-and that is also what the present in every second one minute.

So if you understand the meaning, then we should also avoid the habit of thinking of his duality in order to look at the Buddha as a perfect human and fully divine.

The images represent Germany Phậtcó honest with photos of himself or not?

The artist is not a newspaper reporter that only they are interpreting. They are just trying to show my work computer where the existence of the Buddha that doesn't pay attention to His physical characteristics. For that purpose the artisans first had to rely on some of the most recognizable symbol to signify the Buddha: e.g. a throne at his feet, the wheel symbolizes the teachings, a Lotus Flower and. ..

Later, more precisely in the I century, then expect to see arising out of comments indicate the Buddha through the human identity. This firepower happens probably because the Greeks were looking at the Buddha through their Apollo gods image (see the article "the art of indicating identity Buddha" on the library home page Promo Lotus, Germany, etc.).

Today we can add that the Buddha at the time probably was a skinny black and darker cheeks rather than as a number of images that we still often see today. Thanks to the study of Authentic books in Pa-li and is based on the study of modern historians that understand that the Buddha is not a big-caliber Prince, nor live in a castle, but rather, He is the only child of a humble Principality in the region. But it would be important.

Visualized only game reminiscent of the teachings that He has left us, but nothing reflects a truth about the human body body of the Lord. Moreover in each geographic region, they understand the teachings in a manner slightly different, people in places that have adapted Buddhism with their history and what they dream, to imagine the image of him is another way to go (Please note this is also the idea that the author is going to develop when the presentation of the origin of Germany Maitreya Buddha in the epilogue). But to understand that all the images are the only truth, though not innovative history it's true psychic also contain a high truth value

Despite trying to find the historical Buddha image with any price then it's also cling arises from the nature of his ignorance, and also show their loss of the teachings of Jesus. Self of Buddha there is nothing critical at all. It's just a real symbol of the enlightenment. things that we need to look for is the enlightenment rather than the details regarding his biography or his stature.

Look up imagery of Buddha images which evoke mind in mind what?

A possible form of peace and a generosity extended towards his heart. It is the main what's new.

We learned that from the images of the Buddha?

First of all the images he said He was. In the era of us today, the role of images no longer hold sacred character as before. For us, well done voila is the work that evokes a certain charm under aesthetic aspects. But as for the Buddhist, the image of Buddha is what helps them reach out directly to his presence in reality. The image was not the work of an artist to describe his inspiration. Creator of the images he has always sought to remove themselves to make room for what they want to describe can reveal with its primeval splendor. If you look at trend so any Buddhist writings would also carry the sacred personality, are intended to reflect the beauty in its purest. Beauty which no purpose gives us an emotional interest at all but rather helps expand our hearts a true resilience and generosity.

Indeed very hard to read what is written in the Scriptures written in Sanskrit, or Pa-li Hou spectacle radically the teachings of the Buddha. fencing of the language is a major obstacle. The translation is not hardly ever brings the desired results and more on innovative life now has led to some of the practical instruction which they give is of the Buddha may become confusing. But even more simple is just looking at the images of the Buddha, we can also feel his presence. This road is extremely casual.

Sometimes the images well enough to help us recognize his extraordinary determination while meditating: His body solid back for trying. Also a mirror would more precious to us to look at whether or not?

Sometimes the images also showed Him apparently escaped anything stressful and appears as a real truth pure and naturally need not manifest, because the pure reality has to rise above all the narrow criteria.

Why is the image of the Buddha do the same?

Because the Buddha indicating symbolic character only to talk up the products of the enlightenment where Mr. Images usually found on top of Him having a polyp (representing wisdom) and between the eyebrows, then a small flocks (representing the Embassy see far deeper). The two left the ear loop downward, that's because the real heavy earrings worn while He was still a Prince. Short cut hair symbolizes the secular depart life, because the time is way to long hair represents power and prestige. Movements of both hands is always carried a sense that, for example, to say that: "do not fear", "try to listen to the words of instruction" or "this land is our only witness".

When told that the Buddha is a possible cause of me voila mean?

The Buddha advised we should wake much help we can consistently get what noble in its own existence, because if the lack of awareness, we would probably discover was able to shape his own noble. If looking at the aspect that it indeed is nothing more mistakes when transforming the Buddha into a Hollywood Idol to look at it that followed. That's not acceptable. The Buddha does not belong to any one country because He lived in the consciousness of ourselves. Should not worship Him from outside that is noticed is He's in my heart.

Know thought to realize is that not easy just because we still have the habit of always finding what desire in places impossible to get her things, i.e. those where we are always committing every anachronism. The Western world generally views human beings as perpetrators, always dominated by sin. So have to comply with some rules and rituals which to actively retrieve himself, to not roll down to the depths.

For most of these beliefs are the key issues are: how to control yourself, not to let the beast lurks within himself to crush you?

Buddhism does not share his point of view. Buddhism is just look at the places which could promote kindness only. Buddhism does embrace nor against Rousseau (1712-1778, was a writer, philosopher and French composer, advocated an innovative concept has just past philosophy politics regarding human nature before the society was founded, and the essence that is what brings happiness to people-additional notes of the d, ch). But he did not assert that human beings can only lower the perfect form of forests (that's up to the seller unless geography society Xu turned). He viewed it as something brought good nature (kind of like the concept of "workers first read as a good" of Confucius) toward the experience of feeling, and he relies on it that it's a rigorous analysis to find out why we deny and make unclean the essentially good thing going.

The Lotus Sutra has narrates a story about a poor looking to meet a friend early life. This friend is really wealthy and see your own fucking scene and he discreetly tucked into the shirt of this person a real jewel you without saying anything, not over well, unwilling to let his friend know how concerned. Many years later, the surprise people again for old friends to find you yourself keep poverty as of old. Too breathtaking, the people raising your skirt touching herself and realized that the stone is still there. Over many years, that he still did not find the jewel in his coat. We also like to customize it for bringing in a European security which would have the knowledge.

The path of the Buddha also has no purpose other than to help us find the precious treasure it by yourself.

The treasure was not a gift of God but is of all others. So how to find the Fortune it?

Let's take an example.

When I'm walking between a natural setting, and suddenly felt extremely touched, so just wanted to immerse yourself in nature are active now to enter into an entity with it, and will no longer be a gap between ourselves and the world around us. The experience of perceiving can occur when having been a human being, and from the encounter he develops a natural emotional stuff loves. That's the moment represents an expansion, and people know where would be a Buddha. path will file for us that reside in your nationality.

When does the experience feel about an expansion like that on here help me integrate with it then it will awaken in me a true understanding of the basis for always supported putting his beliefs into it. Buddhism is not an expectation to find something that I don't have, but rather just the way help her back to yourself.
The Buddha is the founder of a religion,
a learning philosophy or psychology or not?

Buddhism also had the sweet comments, there are also temples, all of these things can cause people feel that Buddhism was no different to other religions as Judaism, Christianity or Islam. But it is different. The main reason is that Buddhism does not believe in a God of creation, and it also shows that Buddhism is a religion not only believed that God (non-theism).

Allowed that Buddhist meditation given is not intended to integrate with a sacred form, or an absolute, or any possible form of simple knowledge at all, but rather to promote a sustainable and accurate attention to all that are available.

Buddhism is not a religion based on dogma. People practice Buddhism need not reveal his faith to any one thing to rely on that becoming a Buddhist. In contrast is the cage, the Buddhist masters often prompt the practice must remain vigilant and questions to find out more. The Buddha once said that: "don't believe anything I say is right, just because it is due to say. In contrast to bring out testing the teachings of a jeweler who tried the gold. If after a review of the teachings of the One that tests show that is true, then the new point should bring out the practice. Anyway it is not certain because we respect that carries out practice ".

One thing need to assert unequivocally that the Buddha is impossible of salvation we are. Indeed Buddha could not do anything for us. You can only point to show us a path, and each of us must do it yourself steps under way there.

Each person must assume responsibility for its own existence.

Buddhism is a philosophy, because Buddhism is to abstain from answering this kind of question about is defense or metaphysical.

Books tell stories about a man who said for determination requires the Buddha must be examined, then You must listen to him tell a story like this: "If anyone shoot an arrow make her hurt and I know there is an arrow has laced a hard poison. It should find out who shot the arrow, what name, his social class is nothing, he's from the village would come, that his bow and arrow made of what materials? Of course not to wonder about that. On the contrary, they must react quickly as well possible to pull the arrow out of the wound and find drugs neutralize toxins to bind ". Exactly for that reason that the Buddha is often viewed as a medical rather than a fake buddy wage or a philosopher.

Even the thought of Nagarjuna is often considered the most refined kind of thought in Buddhism are also not subject to the field of philosophy. The reason is simple because the philosophy is just a way to Greek questions only (Please also add a prompt saying the author invested a good PhD at the Sorbonne in Paris).

If not paying attention to this aspect, the unavoidable things very paradoxical exacerbation. In the field of philosophy, people often seek to turn what do not know become aware (knowledgeable with the reasoning and the philosophical Defense) and it is also the way of denying what is of Buddhism (i.e. deny Buddhism pass up on philosophy). Buddhism does not resemble any one philosophical structure of the West-although there is skepticism, cynical nationalism, patriotism ... the Epicurean. Also impossible to take Buddhism to close to the ideas of Descartes, Spinoza, Kant, Nietzche or (the first three philosophers advocated that Sun, a Wednesday, then said "God is dead"). The scope and vision of Buddhism in a different place. So it's very important to always defend the originality of Buddhism.

Buddhism also has a song, the words xiển Ocean, ritual worship, the tribe-and especially meditation. So Buddhism is not a form of Defense thinking about realism but rather a destination path is associated with each action, words and our thinking.

Buddhism brought to all people of all genders is a way for them to live fully their own existence. The way he's led us to enter a country which simply takes us closer to its people, there are echoes of famous both in a large space.

Buddhism is a "con his way around not intent" or a "no passage way"-that is to say in order to emphasize the fact that the action steps that follow will much more important than the results you will achieve by the way it brings.

Buddhism is atheistic or not?

Excuse me, do not worship a God of creation, but that doesn't mean Buddhism is atheistic. Truth that Buddhism has always warned us against all behavior is our beliefs are always consistent and vigilant with regard to quite a lot of similarities in the striving of atheism to freeing yourself from the cangue created from the religious stuff.

However on the other hand, also very close to our own religions (that of Western people), such as when a Buddhist monk met a Catholic nun, then they both feel that I share the truth mainly.

The oil thing Buddhism is also ridiculous-I'm deeply. Buddhism advocates an analysis without compromise in order to map out and shows the trap is being organized in the theistic beliefs: that's the way we have to affirm is a partly different from themselves, and then they do it again based on his existence to which validation is that the existence of the US and also the setting for one of my experience our own sense (that is, he can give us happy or punish me).

Every time a man comes to a Sun that voila is way more then that's his own image, having exaggerated it and add to it the perfect PC products. It was just a real amplifier pictures of ourselves.

When the position of his and assigned two distinct parties then of course also happens the invocation, the Position on the support of rescue operations. Anyway, sometimes we may also perceive a certain correlated relationship (between the Sun and the US) are tightening, but sometimes, we also feel that bond is broken (lack of faith). Indeed most dangerous to be able to create a relationship with God when we still visualize the image of him (when still figure out the picture of The guy other than themselves then how I can integrate with Your vitals).

Indeed there is some mystical House advocates is Heaven not outside the human. Of these have included teachers Eckhart or Saint Thérèse de Lisieux, it is people that Buddhism feel pretty close.

Why Buddhism atheism but there are some large local spirit to the world?

If pursuant to the Western concept of each heavily influenced by Christianity and the persistent and aggressive war of religion this initiator to combat "heresy" (religion of pagan Rome before Christianity entered Europe), it is impossible to understand the paradox of questions on here. For Christians, the holy worship and secular as a venom, a hetero decency need to pluck off the root ends from the minds of the generous folk.

Buddhism never did conduct policy which has always believed in the existence of many gods Saints. Buddhism only sought to turn them into creatures serve the Scouts of France. The mountain gods or gods ponds may be real, as is their reverence and not split them out of their shelter. We only permit them to stay in their territory and thanks to their help, but expressly not be helping yourself can put down are the flames of suffering (only new true Buddhism helps us perform tasks).

It is also a way to demonstrate the tolerance of Buddhism toward other faiths. In Chinese Buddhism, along with development of Confucianism, Taoism and folk beliefs. In Japan, Buddhism and Shinto coexist together and proceed into the worship of nature and the gods reside in the context of her nature.

Besides Buddhism also added the deity of nature are countless other than Buddha symbolizes all generations of thousands of possible as findings of the enlightenment. The word Buddha is not necessarily a noun but rather a "titles" means "the Enlightened one". Even on the primitive era, Buddhist beliefs have also begun advocating the existence of many other Buddha used to live on this earth in these times it's ancient, or appears to back this.

Why is there more to Buddha?

If you want this question we must first ask: "What is Buddha?".

There has to be a child who has ever lived in a certain historical era or just the possible form of existence under a thousand different faces so far?

Similar to the ocean carrying different properties such as wet and salty, the conscious mind of the Buddha, too, and may also reveal many different forms, such as compassion, wisdom and various other forms of living together ...

From the standpoint of Buddhism, Buddhist followers to see if the separate existence is certain the individuals that's a messed up and wrong that what with the mistake that schools of Buddhism do not exist. I am aware of is very clearly saying it quite confusing. But must also try to understand. Must have had many different Buddha to help us expand the heart and mind of its most able to adapt to the different way of thinking. If the watch is real, it can lead to the condition may not realize an open format that they can bring to us, and we will also fall into a simple form of the worship of images. On the contrary, if the view of the Buddha's truth and simply what is going, one image or the idol logo, then that itself will also be the way that we lost away their valuable assistance.

There is a Buddha wearing a belly to commonly seen in the Ship's restaurant, the he means like?

In China it is common to see a Buddhist baldness, obesity, funny jokes in a way that he, this taste for KESA and having a big belly. How to denote that the Buddha was worth indeed we must Marvel because obviously peaked within the regular expression.

The origin of this character as a Saint symbolizes the riches. The big belly and the looks that he says as well as a bunch of kids around the bu he is aiming to raise as his own wealth and at the same time he would be willing to ban his wealth to those who ask themselves. It always brings the party to whom a cloth bag full of precious things, which is rice, which is confectionery for kids. In short she's the symbol of good luck, happiness and fullness.

Buddhism does not eliminate local worship continued though as in anywhere in Asia, which only sought to transform part of the worship there. Variable Buddhist deity above the ancient origin (psyche member) became a learned Buddhist practice, or view it as a possible form of the historical Buddha's incarnations. So the number on the Buddha Maitreya, the Buddha of the future (bring wealth and happiness).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.18/7/2014.
