According http://chungta.net/

Since its introduction in Vietnam up to now, Buddhism has existed and attached to the nation's history, Buddhism absorbed into the mind and become a part of cultural life of Vietnamese people. So Buddhism affect the people of Vietnam like?

1. Characteristics thinking people in Vietnam have traditionally inward

Internationally oriented research is a natural material world outside. Introvert is inclined to study the inner spiritual world. Zen has proposed guidelines "communication center to take a shower." Do all things Buddhist concept to be one, so the universe is hidden in every human being. So when you make it possible for each individual to get along with the universe, then we and the world as a Republic. Want to achieve that they must have the wisdom or Buddhist called Prajna. But to go to one, each person must open their mind, "ask yourself to light the torch that goes", which is the first step must be modified in the direction of good morals. This with the Vietnamese to cultivate tradition in favor of mood, moral, rather than learning to cultivate modern knowledge.

This makes the life of Vietnamese in promoting the TAM, emotional lifestyle. Way of thinking and lifestyle fraught emotional color, one side to help people during times of disaster, natural disasters or calamities ... but it also limits the progress of science - technology.

2. Characteristics of Vietnamese thinking as much attention to the relationship

The same things, or phenomena we often interested in the structure, nature or the study of the relationship, the relationship with things, other phenomena. Naturally Eastern focus more relationships. Derived from "service", "very often" Easterners that nothing is permanent, standing still but things are always active, constantly changing. For students living things, chemical goods, excellent color, not what we see is not just the looming relationship between the state of things in relation to other things.

To address the relationship, Buddhism is the law of causality. Causal relationship is just all things common phenomenon. No independent ego, no work left the world "I", no "life" apart - all these things are interacting closely and were separated only in the imagination. Hence, the East, Vietnam Buddhist, often care most about relationships, primarily emotional, moral, many see bias, only that subjective position. Therefore, the lives of Vietnam usually pay much attention to relatives, neighbors, society so subtle, delicate.

3. The depth of the influence of Buddhism

Thinking Vietnamese people have a variety of concepts from Buddhism. The concepts that contribute to increasing the philosophical concept of the Vietnamese, the Vietnamese thought that a more general nature, more abstract. In addition, the influence of Buddhism on the way of thinking is reflected in the concept of the development of the universe through four stages: birth (birth, appearance), head (exist, present), allergic ( development, evolution, transformation) and kill (death, die, disappear), while in humans it is birth, old age, sickness and death. It is a natural development, necessity of all things, phenomena, all life.

The concept of "impermanence", "selflessness" is also greatly affect the feudal ideology of Vietnam. According to the Buddhist concept, then all things, the phenomenon is a combination of these factors, the (French), so they are constantly active. Buddhism played a dynamic way of seeing the world, in accordance with the development of things.

Applying the law of impermanence thoroughly analyzing people, Buddhism is that the combination of five elements - the five aggregates, so people do not have the so-called ego-self that is. This view has led people to live without fear and selflessness.

When observing the outside world, Buddhism was looking out a common relationship, between the base material phenomena - such as human relations - grace - results. This theory is generalized reflection drawn from the phenomenal world, especially when considering the development of nature. How to realize this was a reasonable give the Vietnamese a thinking human nature to look at human performance, life, everything, "people do, through this," "sow the wind, see the storm", "in sage having good "....

Scholars have said that not a doctrine, a religion analyst inner world, which has deep thinking like Buddhism. According to Buddhism, the mind, human consciousness is like a river of ideas flowing constantly. In a satna (finger snap time), we went through the mind 960 times transfer concept, for one day, it goes through thirteen million memory block. Under these rivers flow, in the invisible depths where it is A-to-skin mode (stealth mode) - where the aggregate of all the seed of the universe. Although difficult to imagine but Buddhism gives us a glimpse of the mind, consciousness. Buddhism tells us that want to be thinking, thinking is correct, then the conditions need to concentrate.

Thought, thinking, aware human-like lamp. If any shine to normal four, but if you know the whole focus light to a point, they converge, then this point becomes very light and strong. Role of Meditation for thinking like that focus light. It is a scientific method.

Buddhism teaches to think it should have an objective mind calm, sober. Heart dancing like apes, burned by greed, hatred, ignorance, stood at attention binary opinions, likes and dislikes, loves and hates, the perception is objectively impossible. Center such as the lake waters through storm waves as well, and turbid can not see the river bottom gravel member.

Want to quiet the mind, consciousness, the first is to think and do good. Direction of Vietnamese Buddhism to think about doing good, do good and avoid keeping. In all kinds of human enterprise has three most important types of industry body, speech and mind. In Buddhism it as business mind (thinking, thinking) is the most important. "General hygiene", "clean" thinking is both urgent work is just routine every hour, every minute for every Buddhist. Thought compassionate charity, guidelines encourage good except evil, pleasure discharge, pain research, rescue is thought to attract a large number of Vietnamese and become compassion, their humanity. As a human interest save before any of the Vietnamese have suffered so receptive and enthusiastic supporter of Buddhism.

Buddhism also played an aspect of critical awareness methods - that is the relationship between matter and consciousness, spirit and nature or mind and matter. On the one hand, the mind and matter are not separated. There is also no mind then. In contrast, no animal mind is how we do not know. The reason there is a material object was thrown by the mind in there.

On the other hand, not only the physical, natural world, animals are conscious movement that spirit, the mind is always active. Two motor always so, how reliable grasp, aware that Monday. Faced with this problem Buddhism as a solution is presented concentration, between the mind quiet, sober. So here I still used in Buddhism is highly concentrated light to capture the action, "of course invariant variables respond to variables." This is a rather interesting problem with common sense.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY BACH LIEN HOA.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 LAN ).
