Chapter 7: The Major Concepts in Buddhism .

The main concept in Buddhism.

The concept of the Buddhist teachings are not what is drafted in an intellectual way aimed at research purposes, but rather a means to help us to see more precisely the existence of himself. So thought should also spend little time to think about each concept a most listen to echoes of them in heart and to feel the urge of these always remind us how should attempt to change his view about the experience felt by himself.

Realms Of Reincarnation — Samsara

The samsara word of Buddhism has gained many achievements it's suddenly in the Western world. Many enterprises have borrowed this word to do branding and this word has also been used to name an expensive perfume. Bottom line is the word samsara (Please also note the samsara Word does not translate Western that keeps the original Sanskrit) are understood as what is positive. But strictly the letter he meant a round of endless works of suffering in order to bind us all. The wheel of existence that tie us to our own trends we always have to suffer what happens beyond the desire of his. For example, we have been pushing to end this incident scenes to scenes of other scenarios before the inability of his own. According to the early Scriptures, the wheel of existence was then divided into six realms, logos for six types of prison as follows:

* Hell: in the realms of food will pay for them is anger and hatred. If you fall into the realms that we always dominated by anger that the context has always been generated these threats make us no longer recognize I'm angry or is is fear.

* The world of hungry ghosts (preta) : in this realms spread a starving condition extremely grim. All of which just covet and impotence: food, wealth, money, deals ... well, all the things he couldn't bring a satisfied yet. The kind of evil that hunger and thirst (preta) is that they have a slight atrophy throat like a needle, but stomach is big, loud to the point where there is anything that can alleviate the endless appetite. Also not saying «the eyes bigger than stomach», in the world that they have been doomed by the IET.

* The world of animals: it is the world of the dead end shoved we fall into a cave so deep we no longer saw anything. We just step in the world but don't know you're going about it. The existence was stressed, on the one hand, the fear of being swallowed alive, on the one hand, the desire to eat. The world's full of anxiety, lack of any discerning judgment, in General is a world full of threats.

* The world of people: this is the world of the constant content motivates people covet everything, but again never find satisfaction. We always aspire to achieve something other than that, always seeking to consider and choose what presence with us, cause we always stuck on the statewide uncertainty caused by his distracted State.

* The world of the great beings ganh hate (asura): this world is not different from the Wall Street area (living area to the city's stock exchange was estimated at Nữu). Beings in that world in an endless war. That's what the gìới is dominated by hate, envy and scramble everything trends, all always to vying with each other to prove himself as the best. This is the world of the ganh hate constant, and in the world's only effective is significant only.

* The world of the heaven (deva-Tian multiplied): is often misunderstood as a world of incentive and topping. The most typical characteristics of this world is a constant contact form. But actually, what's really missing form the depth. Beings in this world so rich, they always move from subsistence to other activities, the most entertaining way to enjoy other other ways would like being confined in a comfortable setting, but does not carry the amenities a sense at all (the author compares real smarts scene scenarios of the rich and luxury in our society ta, or perhaps the author also refers to the subtle nature of heaven or the Sukhavati?).

There is also a fruit ring loop which continuously occur is a switch from off to the form to be different. The transformation that can occur between two different lifetimes, or can also occur through each moment of one of a lifetimes. The works that never stops to rest. Some form of it seems good, some others is suffering. Anyway, the way the French Director (Dharma) also no difference between the can's shape (all of which are suffering deeply, and discreetly or Willow Avenue that's it). Despite the paint the iron of a prison by color does not alter anything. What is important above all is to break out of the prison then.

Nirvana-Nirvana

Nirvana is a form which all suffering is eliminated. But usually without the Scriptures refers more to what was format-this is because it is a possible format described by the ng and the common sense experience. The essential thing is to jump the road first. Dream gained Nirvana actually is just pushing us to foster the mistaken of themselves only. Bottom line is do not aim at any one purpose only should try practicing meditation and learn French Leaders, that is what we sustain in this place and in this moment ever. Nirvana is a form of consciousness that it no longer has nothing to do anymore. That's probably not born, not made, and no longer be bound by any conditions. Not nothingness. Does not exist. On peace as well as in any form of conflict.

Infinity-Fall

The concept of infinity-falling often causes a lot of myths. We often find people who have walked in the path (that the Buddhists and the austerities) while PHO together, or raise questions like «my self», «your self», «must let go of the ego» etc., actually, that was the great mistake, is a completely puzzling distortions of the teachings of the Buddha.

It is just a way of offering something that (the fall) that Buddhist teachings do not clown advocates, and also indirectly evoke the notion of a powerful guilt didn't have in Buddhism (said to my self, he is indirectly concealed behind the scenes of a perversion and Sin, and that is what is not Buddhism. This review of the author's very subtle).

«Self» we are visualized through three different characteristics in order to define it explicitly. The fell is impermanent, suffering everything from suffering and does not contain any form of existence can be verified. When you understand the self is thus gradually we will consistently get it is also the Foundation of the teachings of the Buddha. that's what it's important that we always have to keep in mind.

We would love to other people interested in her or help her find out yourself, the reason is that we are always affected by something resembling a void not, cause we always were afraid: we can never be truly understand me. We always felt being on the scene or situation is going away and the contacts that we maintain. It is also indirectly shows the absence of self (our firepower available is due to the conditions and the industry are occurring as well as her travel with others gives us the feelings that we with them as well as with all the context around thethe feelings he created the illusion of the ego or the «self»). If we have a falling out, then soon we are also compelled to notice it. But because it is so the psychologist will all have much work to do (take the time to research and find out what a «» which do not have).

Occupation, age, physique, his car, his home time, qualifications, salary, the product range as well as the deficiencies of his ..., all are insufficient to determine what is his. There is something genuinely mysterious from the inmost parts of every human: it's the endless fall. Nobody has anything to us can take definitive and immutable character.

When would recognize as self is just a product of fantasy used to deceive are ourselves then we realize that all of us are linked to others. When is aware of is the wall that we are always looking for ways to build up for the real thing only really tall shadows do not carry solid personality at all then we no longer automatically attached themselves to the world around us. At the same time we will also feel what was format infinity-fall guy as a true natural existence, no need to validate anything. That is the real purpose of ego-i.e., the person of yourself once you've stripped off the fall.

The story of martial arts in the meditation sect Zen helps to find out clearly what is infinity-fall. Such a case the soldiers always be by her self by then hardly find victory, why is he so interested in all to achieve victory and to protect get himself. The fall was just a really really so enraged co. between hope and fear, that is the two thieves have stripped away the sense of their soldiers ahead of the current context in each case scenes happen (one is dominated by fear and hope which results in visible reality in every moment a). If always obsessed with the hope that everything would be fine, and fear what the disadvantages might happens he will never see the true reality to it, and that's fine with him are clueless.

Stories like the above shows us that the infinity-major fall is actually the space of life symbolizes a can free-form, and nothing must be taken at all. It is both a space extending help to people in each of us can grow more severe, get rid of everything by the cangue I created to bind us and meant that we must always live in fear.

The French Leaders are what really thoroughly and completely distinct from the approaches of other psychics. In addition to French Leaders out of any one means of access despite helping us become better can't be gives us a true happiness is. That means radical can not resolve the difficulty. Because wherever there is still dominant self, the place that we can only feel the unhappiness only.

Infinitely-Often (or the natural movements of the phenomena)

At first glance, this concept is very confusing, but this word is not the volume of our dictionary (that of Western man) referred to. Infinitely-often means no market exists, because all things are sustained shifts. As time went by and nothing exists. Anyone can know him and feel his event. Some scholars often compare this concept with the concept of the Greek philosophers Heraclite, and they summarized the views of philosophers with a sentence like this: «it is not never bathe twice in the same river». If interpreted in ways that make sense in the true thought of Heraclite as well as of the Buddha were twisted. But that the teachings of the Buddha and of Heraclite didn't come together at any point at all, yet both he would be speaking in a selfless and superficiality to so (image above is too rudimentary and doesn't explain what is the meaning of impermanence Héraclite and according to the teachings of the Buddha).

The term infinitely-often seems to reflect quite faithfully the meaning of the word anitya in Sanskrit-word-nitya means «top» and the constant language usually a-means «not» negative news that can form every time.

But if looking at a phenomenon under the aspect of a continuation between cause and consequence (causal concatenation) and see it as a physical phenomenon then there will also be a big mistake thing: similar to when looking at all the phenomena arise from causes and conditions, and we necessarily will have to disappear when the causes and conditions that created them no longer meet.

What the teachings of the Buddha wanted only restrictive fact is unconnected to the physical laws that govern the formation of the phenomena, but rather then there is hope for our madness just wanted to let all things that we always cling to the endless exist. Infinitely-often is the free aspect of reality (in other words is the nature of reality) to challenge the power of our cling. Buddhist teachings related to events not-often-Ganges is also a way of demonstrating that this world is not a function contains a self at all (which is ridiculous – often do not contain any variables to that could call that a fork).

The correlated (or reflects the reality)

We do not clown is the separate beings. All things are causing effects that affect us and in return we also impact and affects everything. What we enforce are causing impacts affect the spectrum of all things.

The teachings of Buddhist above is aimed at the end purposes we should soon change his Outlook on the world, that is, to pay attention to events of all sentient existence by correlating with each other and with the entire universe, while the interactive phenomena in both the physical and psychological areas which are linked continue to impact the whole field from individuals, families, society for geography.

We always like to present themselves independently. The illusion which of course will reassure us because it creates a certain sentiment of his own strength, but actually it is what gives us everything an exiled. The term «correlating» (từc-interdependence means interdependence) Although some way accurately reflect any sense from Sanskrit pratityasamudpada it still shows something not very smoothly. The concept of correlating the truth out is quite limited. Instead of just seeing any body would also have to depend on other objects, then should we think more deeply how to consistently find that all bodies interdependence through a cross-correlated fish-and frequently-does-or not? (that's the rule the farther beyond correlating areas of operation of the existence is that individuals interact and relate to the past in the past and the future, and it is also a way to explain the operation of the industry and regenerative phenomena).

Emptiness

Emptiness is one of the key concepts of Buddhist teachings. Nagarjuna, an Indian monk born after the Buddha about seven or eight centuries, was the first to have implemented this concept fully, and most coherent. Based on the theory of fuzzy logic (logical principles) Nagarjuna demonstrated that what we perceive to be reality is wrong.

Buddhism does not define as nothing at all, but merely shows us what do we build up to the new reality imposed on what doesn't exist. All things be perfectly clear about the concept that we impose on them. The drum does not contain something at all, not be defined by any one thing at all, and most are not logos for a absences or a presence at all.

Nagarjuna has said the following: «When referring to a now-owner voila is the perspective advocated longevity, if referring to a non-current-owner voila is the perspective advocated total destruction (nothingness). Therefore the Sage does not usually stay in the now-friendly nor permanent residence in the Philippines we-Christians». Leanne didn't mean like that: it is a negation of all views, breaking down all thesis, do not accept anything beyond the expansion for the phenomena are identified in a natural way.

Compassion

Compassion is also a staple concept in Buddhism. That's a high bar to be true forms of the heart, the anxiety really expecting so that all beings are inevitably suffering.

If you want to master this concept necessarily understand that it is not a duty nor a voluntary. We do not become a person of compassion. Because compassion is a driving force arose from his heart in its primeval form. Indeed there is nothing more miserable for those who desire to be compassionate. They can only become compassionate human tampering because their goal is to cover a certain aggressive. True compassion is a dynamic flare up and could not ride was similar to the mercy of a mother when seeing your child is sick

Wherever the presence of compassion, where we will never feel fear and confusion, there is a hidden form of rise above the petty calculations of the fall. Indeed, the fall is all to protect its influential circle, in the Meanwhile, compassion is a completely open and friendly. Compassion helps us understand that there is a real border that separates between us with all other beings.

Buddhism developed lots authorized training helps promote the love for all creatures.

Why is emptiness and compassion are viewed as inseparable from each other?

Most Buddhist sects are the conception that compassion for sentient beings are inseparable from understanding the prajna (uncivil) and voila is also likely to vote for help see are emptiness. So can compare the compassion as a fish swim in water and the water, symbolizing his understanding.

One cannot separate the two things out together. Compassion is always combined with understanding. Indeed impossible to detach it from the wisdom to help us look into what exactly like that. If not that, then compassion will also merely a foolish. Such actions very consciously bring a child Candy Cake every time they fire for good. We all understand that it is not an action to help a child that is the only way to hurt them. Happy Prince bi lacked the intelligence, the result was disaster.

Shantideva (Shantideva) a monk who lived in the EIGHTH century, had a pre-operative very famous poem entitled the «the way of the hero toward Enlightenment» (Bo-slapping Directed) that Tibetan monks are required to memorize. The poetry and explain the correlation between emptiness and the ascent of a heart enlargement (bodhicitta Bodhi-mind). I would understand that I am not the present fixed and cannot locate it transparent, because actually it is just what the subject is happening to us, then the nature of the emotional stuff narrow-minded selfish view themselves as the Center will appear clearly as a misconception of reality.

Shantideva wrote the following:

«If you see two legs two hands,

We can also imagine that the limbs of a particular body.

So when he saw them born,

Then why are we not able to imagine is the component of the living? »

Too, if we know your hand to rub my sore spot on his feet when they fall, then why are we not capable of action similar to that before the suffering of others?

Shantideva noticed the narrow-minded that arose from the cling is instincts and our mistakes on the idea that we are a separate people. So only when a get real destination nature (of reality) is like that, then we can put the compassion in his heart (when would understand that we are not separate beings that are fully correlated with the other, then we can expand your compassion is true).

No matter how the reasoning was shrewd to lose anymore then the result is also not sufficient. No need to explain the gab, we also understand that compassion is a good thing. But the key issue is how to allow for it to be revealed. When do we feel their heart closed too tight or reasonable?

The Buddhist in the Western world (actually, if already a Buddhist, though in the same) to find out if compassion is the ditch to get the finger that points directly to that place, the sensitivity i.e. in real terrible and pressing in my hearthelp yourself, that can promote it. Compassion is the wound then, it's bloodletting and we urge the suffering of this world. If you want to reduce the urge him to integrate into the focal point of the pain that mercy, and it is also the most fragile spots of the hearts of humanity, so that puts all his faith in.

Karma-Karma

The term karma arises from this letter and the kr is «do», and the letter also arises out of the word «créer» («create» in English, that means the «created») in our language (i.e. French). So though we should also concern to sound disappointed back from his own actions.

Indeed difficult to have a the concept would unequivocally incompatible with democratic destiny (determinism) by the concept of karma in Buddhism, but the truth is the oăm hang on, we often misunderstand this concept and that career as a destiny. For example, when the illness is thought to his career because of that out, and indeed if understood in a manner that does nothing more than farce. Truly it can help us to link with his illness and does not see himself as a victim (suffered diseases arising from external causes), but the Buddha has taught that not anyone can see is companies (karma) because of the potential impact of it's downright complex, beyond human understanding (the operation of the industry is complex because dominated by infections infections causes the message agent and conditions, whereas the human intelligence too simple and crude).

But the important thing is not there. What we need are more interested in exactly how to act, how to be able to create the favourable context in order to bring the happily for sentient beings. Anyway I must get far more than that to find out if career means nothing. Karma is a sum of actions executed in mental status confused. Can compare the career as a spider was weaving and organized in the space created by desire and envy, and what network it will entice according to it an endless motion, a chain reaction.

According to the Buddha's footprint step is making the endless motion must cease. Here's how to stop, not to give the wrong beliefs and emotions that conflict take ẩy us from the scene or situation to another scene. Let the space (compassionate) and the pure (wisdom) find each other in their hearts, a combination that will expand and melt away the illusion of endurance that we always find a way to defend it in every moment a. It is helping for the proper action consistent with the wide open spaces that allow for the actions he had died in a natural way. Each moment must be ended perfectly with much of the help for the next moment there is room to appear. That's how the Act does not create a career because it is just what the developments in a natural way.

The rebirth (not the reincarnation)

The concept of reincarnation is not a unique concept of Buddhism that it is merely a doctrine advocating the «reincarnation» (métempsychose, metempsychosis, rebirth), this theory arises from an esoteric doctrine (esotericism) lacked transparency and democracy must be a soul can reside in many different body. There is also nothing with the video games in which players must undergo many «lifetimes» then then win (the mask, a character in the play and to play again for the familiar new «» win). The perspective he is himself the Centre and hence is what perfectly contrasted with the teachings of the Buddha.

Moreover as we all know, Buddhism denies the eternal and immutable characteristic of the soul. The soul will die but she was dead when the transition from moment to moment is different. We no longer look to the while, um, poetry, and life really will continue turning we become other than what we currently have in today.

The term «rebirth» seem most suited to the Buddha's teachings. this term reflects real honest with from punarbhava in Sanskrit which means from the chapter is «born again». When death occurs, the will of course have to have something to lose, but that's not required to have a something else still remain the same. Likewise, if brought the flame of a lamp to light up in a different light, then it may have been true with former flame, i.e. after it has been moved from the lamp to the other lamp or not?

Someone after the regeneration is no longer the same as before any longer but also not completely different.

A very famous conversation between the King Di-lan-da (Milinda) and a disciple of the Buddha is Na-fairy (Nâgasena) will be cited below to highlight t t both the difficulty in finding out about this doctrine.

«The King Di-da lan-Na-monks first question as follows:

-That the soul is present or not?

-In the field of absolute truth, then no! (the soul is only a conventional concept)

Hey Bhikkhu stilts Na-first, is there a switch from body to body or not?

-No.

-But why is the second person to have to suffer the mistake had from before (the reincarnated suffer by the deceased caused).

If we assume no regeneration is certain of is he must continue to suffer from the previous mistake. But because of the rebirth, so people no longer suffer guilt anymore (meaning the rebirth-or as the «second» – will have to suffer the previous mistake. This concept is relatively hard to catch because on the one hand that our argument has always been dominated by longevity, news by «I» or «self», and on the other hand, we see death and rebirth symbolized the «interrupted», and each lifetimes are way «independence». If you want to understand this concept, you can view more Na-first Economic stilts Bhikkhu «», because in this economy there are many paragraphs to explain quite clearly about the continuation and transformation between the lifetimes of individuals under a career, or may also refer to a short article entitled «the concept of karma in Buddhism» of the translator has posted on the page thuvienhoasen.org, or quangduc.com..., or using meditation to consistently see the transformation of the body and mind in a moment once and continue to infer his transformation over the deeper dimensions-notes added by the translator).

For some people, the concept of regeneration as the newly presented above is transparent and easy to understand. It's sound rang true in line with experience that anyone can feel while meditating. In the time of meditation that people will experience see the disruptions do generate a continuation of how continuity. But would be a big mistake if it believes that this concept holds a primary role in the construction of Buddhist Ethics: means the current actions will be brought to the scene in case of future lifetimes, and that's why we have to do good and avoid evil. Today after criticism it's panned for the religion of Marx, Freud and Nietzsche, then for me it's very hard to bolster that point of view it (the watch the rebirth as a form of intimidation to build ethics). If required a moral person police to intimidate us is terrify to that imposed it for us, then the moral of all backgrounds are not very plausible.

Although there are many Buddhists take out the other opinion than my own, but they still believe that the rebirth really doesn't help at all for setting Buddhist ethics. Wide open spaces do meditation brings, said listening to the heart expands and its fragility is also redundant enough to get a practice known to pick yourself up an attitude adjustment for in his own actions (for the author, Buddhist ethics may be a natural and easy way in my heart, but for some who practice on a weak left rank the deterrence idea is sometimes necessary. Anyway, the «fruit» newspaper is a way out has been simplified in terms of rule whole-entertainment-Miss-result caused the practice e afraid to «reincarnation» in bad circumstances that dare not do evil in this life).

At the time of the Buddha and in that all Indian people are viewing the rebirth as a considerable (the rebirth is not a unique concept of Buddhist, most of the other beliefs on time are advocating that the rebirth). But today it was more than plenty. However that is not what critical to us to pay attention. In each moment of a, we have a little something to die and has a little something to regenerate in a new context. So, is there a way to help us get set to discharge what we're always looking for ways to cling or not? And how to get rid of the standard limit of our actions, that helps us to become more open?

I believe that what is true new necessities in the teachings of the Buddha. in every moment we must know a character freed yourself from what is strangled and his immediate confinement.

Buddhism and death

For Buddhists, the existing death regularly in each of us. But ignorance we just see it as the end of his life and was not aware that I'm dying in every moment a. Be the form that we've ever had before (in the past) though still lingers a bit in the us today (current), then we will also have to continue to let go of it to be able to grow (in the future).

Practice of meditation is a great way to prepare for death, because it is helping us integrate with the reality in every moment a. Meditation will help us understand that the discharge of almost everything cling. Select the way of meditation is the way to the possible form of death, so always think to it and to prepare for it.

From the standpoint of Buddhism, each time there is an ill person about to go it should be admonished him prepare for his own death.

When Hospice is about to leave, the better ones should not cry, because tears will create an atmosphere of real advantages, which can flare up what Speck had been attached, for example, us for example. But the feelings may also be made to the Hospice an atmosphere full of anxiety and unhappiness. Dying to be felt is not abandoned. So it's better to think of someone coming out to go with his mercy.

The client's household Buddha

If Buddhist narrowing to turn it into a road based solely on an attempt to power of man, the result is actually nothing more wrong. So, despite many schools view the practice of meditation is most importantly (the policy of relying on individual effort driven by humans). But the focus of the practice is a form of letting go to discharge (that means in contrast to the attempting).

Enlightenment cannot be achieved by just thanks to the virtuous actions of individual personality and a mind alone. Need something else to fill more. For example, some allow tu advocated the austerities need to beg to get a mercy or a certain understanding. But according to a different way of looking at the fill did not come from somewhere other than his own. At the same time then the wisdom to help recognize loads-falling back to reveal in my heart as a part of any grace, an endowment is very sudden and extremely precious.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.
