Philosophy in general, whether wise or eastern Asia Western philosophy, have touched a core issue: What is reality? The real issue now is what led to a fundamental issue and fundamental than epistemology. Humans have the ability to recognize reality? What we take to ensure that cognitive ability is true? Although Asian director not mind starting with the nature of knowledge questions, which started with the practical needs: how people live happily, happiness, consciousness is directed east Asia to touch issues problem of reality and perception. In this sense, today we find out about a point in the base core Buddhist concepts: Truth enlightenment.
1. What is Enlightenment?
"Enlightenment", a name from the Buddhist text translated from the Sanskrit Bodhi, only a state of awakening, when a person suddenly direct receiving mysterious emptiness.
First of all, we we need to understand the concept of emptiness in Buddhism what does it mean? The word "not" used in Emptiness, no is not something negative, is not nothing, is usually empty, but is something that is not a mystery. Therefore, in Buddhist Emptiness of an entity only infinite, can not think of the mind to describe, but also can not feel that sense measure. Or in other words, infinite Entity that directly receive enlightenment, which is not an image, not a language, not an earthly idea what this place can describe. Also in Business Kim Cang also mention this emptiness as an absolute entity, "real life everlasting, any structure or impurity, any increase any lower." Hence the word "not" is a type of protection "absolute truth" to the end to never framed and redress "Absolute" by intelligence bare flesh. This is an expression similar to the way of negative theology.
Thus, the Zen Master called "Enlightenment is a province that is understood, is the comprehension of the truth. Enlightenment is to discover a sense new. In this sense people know the absolute entity covering and become one with Him. " [1]
Under the eyes of the Christian theology, enlightenment is a religious awakening . The religious awakening occurred when the Ultimate Entity identification of human experimental reach. This awakening happens when people dismiss the things they cover. And then, they like to touch is the Ultimate Entity, who pre-eminent above all things, but at the same time to cover everything (cf. Eph 1:23). Recognizing outstanding occurs when the user inside the eye, also known as intuition to overcome all the tensions of opposites simultaneously penetrate the sole absolute entity. [2]
So enlightenment is a spiritual intuition, is a potential deep, comprehensive, direct and magical. The enlightenment is directly received an absolute truth that Buddhism is called emptiness. Therefore, under the gaze Kyto teacher, had the idea that enlightenment is a kind of revelation natural Asian style wisdom. [3]
2. The road to enlightenment
according to Buddhist teaching, with thousands of legal practice to be able to reach the final destination is enlightenment. We can clearly see this in prayer Tuesday from Hoang's Vow: "France vows countless school subjects." While there are thousands of religious teachings, but they all have one common feature, that is enlightenment "arise" after the administration and enforcement of insight meditation Eightfold Path.
In meditation, this is the essence of Buddhism aims to "an office and the head of" the mind, by the mind is always "whirring like crazy horse, buffalo, gibbons, monkeys, without lowering the key, do not use metal rings she will not be able photography to be. " [4] The purpose of an office and goods for the mind is to get rid of the common perspective of dualistic mind the distinction, based only on the human senses. Therefore Prajna Heart Sutra says, "not identity any allergic, do not force them to identity, tho, i think, act, herons formula for such marketing." Thus, says meditation can help people see more clearly that, beyond the understanding of the senses. This is an approach different from the truth of the western approaches of science and experimentation.
Eightfold path is eight (allowed tu) true: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action , right face, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration. Eight this way, according to Buddhist tradition, is usually collected three things are: property (including thinking and right), gender (right speech, right action and right face), the (primary energy, mindfulness and right concentration). The purpose of this practice is allowed to help people gradually got rid of those thoughts, passion and ignorance often occurs through the physical world is always moving. [5] Once you have gotten rid of the barriers of thoughts, passion and ignorance, the mind is open. It was an absolute light. Thanks to the enlightenment of this light that all love, all wrong, all are engaged and fully bound to the world the place. Everything is now the minister is nothing, all as delusion.
As such, two fundamental way to reach enlightenment is the same at a point is to help people get rid of delusions , just cling to what the human senses provide. We can say this is the approach of truth beyond the senses to get a live ants truth.
3. enlightenment - a truth validation
As mentioned above, the Enlightenment is an intuitive spiritual. People who live enlightened opinions are absolute truth. This truth validation affordable? We will turn to consider this truth as a fundamental principle of epistemological truth.
First of all, we rely on the definition of truth and academic tradition: truth is the conformity between wisdom and reality. This definition if it was rolled out to understand the truth requires the compatibility between mind and object recognition. This means that objects can still be identified from the first, the mind perception, judgments about the object is perceived to have an idea as to describe the object is.
For the enlightenment of truth, the object perceived as "absolute." Let us see whether those who have true enlightenment will describe this truth reasonable? We can find the expression of "absolute" negative type are summarized in Kinh Kim Cang, is a very important business of Mahayana Buddhism: the formless way, by "divine the What general expectations are damaged. " And also the very language formless, invisible concept. Thus, the Kinh Kim Cang shows us, this truth, not the how, not language, nor any notion of man can describe. Again, we must repeat, this is a type of expression, protection of the radical truth. Because it was absolutely impossible in a limited number of images, some limited vocabulary and limited to a few concepts are. And just like that, we get a description of "absolute" is absolute. Is not it so incompatible that there was a definition of truth requires?
Next, we see the truth of the enlightened aspects of the characteristics of a truth. The academic three criteria are offered to recognize a truth: unity, inseparable, and no epidemic.
On the unitary character of truth is simply no contradiction in principle: an object can not just have just not in the same aspect. Thus, Truth Enlightenment is not just absolute relative moderate. And clearly enlightened truth has been described in the business shelves of Buddhism is very perfect, with the expression "extremely", "formless," "very language," "very idea", "separated the minister that he is Buddha "... By all that can describe, but it can be said to be still limited, there is relative. The only negative expressions such can guarantee absolute Absolute. Lao Tzu did not say that, "The extraordinary ability Religion Act," which stars.
In the remaining two characteristics of truth is inseparable from the epidemic and the more we understand the truth than enlightenment. Because had the "absolute" is still the eternal absolute. If you absolutely can be subdivided shall not be absolute. Again, the story could not be there in absolute levels, not absolute and may be something more absolute is, that the absolute can only be absolute thoroughly, absolutely to the end only.
At this point, we can conclude that truth is a truth enlightened authentication. But there are still a problem in epistemology that we also need to consider past, that is: all knowledge is through the senses. The perception of enlightened truth whether starting with sense or not? There were many comments received on this platform in the enlightenment. These opinions are largely based on the Buddhist verses such as "screening during the five aggregates no comments" or "very sharp, very passive, perception, knowledge." However, the word "very" along with the word "not" in the business we see the Buddha not to the shelves of the tangible reality, that is the policy of all is nothingness. But most of all, this is a kind of protection intensely truth. Therefore, that in some way, to enlightenment, one must see clearly the true nature of reality so naked, with their limits. Moreover, the enlightenment was visible through reality to reach the "absolute". Thus, in some way, the truth of enlightened awareness is a platform that places the human senses.
CONCLUSION
So enlightenment is indeed a spiritual intuition. This truth can not be a product of the imagination, but a feeling. The enlightened person may file comments as absolute truth. Or in other words, people are awakening to the contemplation of the truth in the government seems huyem truth. This is a point very close to Christianity. If you could compare it with the Christian revelation, this is actually a natural revelation of ultimate reality. Thus it can be said that enlightenment is a path to the Absolute, the road is suitable for Asian people that we need to note in the process of evangelization for east Asia.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY BACH LIEN HOA.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
