Glory of the Buddhists of Religion

Written by Thich NHU DIEN.

For years I wrote many different threads of culture, education, Dharma, youth, women, etc ... but it looks like missing a few songs with the title as above. Write to honor the Buddhist title or ownership of oil and anonymous anonymous ... should mention. Though I did not write it in the sea have merit they addressed it, but now people live life in the true Republic; so I wrote this article.

Dutch have a saying: " Die Lehre des Buddha ist noch weder optimistisch Pefsimistisch, sondern realistisch " . Means " Buddha's doctrine is not passive and negative, but a practical sense . " What is all that realistic? - It is hungry, thirsty drink, sleep, then go to bed. Like the school, not like they walk. Want to be religious, they do not want to leave ... no one has the right to stop her, I stood up, told her to go ... which are all self-awareness and awareness.

What is a Buddhist? - A person called Buddhists; who had refuge Jewels and the Five Mindfulness life of the laity. Buddhism is defined as the sensation but not love. French district that is not pure evil, and Rising was not infected. This is called three throne. Because in this world and less difficult to meet. Not everyone has met the Buddha and his teachings are not to everybody's comprehension of the end of it. Buddha Dhamma was divided into 3 classes to suit a variety of different units.

Type the first base for the upper, upper position. When teaching him to listen to this instant corn and evangelism. For example, Sariputta, his Moggallana, Angulimala, A Soap World, Ashoka etc ...

Monday class is called the secondary base, central location. That is when he heard the teachings do not understand, should be repeated several times to understand the Tao. In classic largely expressed about this.

The third part for the lower base, the lower position. It means listening and did not understand and if you understand and misunderstand; but did not understand the true teachings of the Buddha. This is to coincide with us in these degenerate times.

Buddha's teachings dairy cows as an example. That means that milk must have a refined, mature through five stages to end up smoothly. The first is freshly squeezed from cow's milk is also pure, then forming solids (Christ) and this solid dosage several times into good milk (delivery vehicles). Milk was not clever (independent factors) and finally the matter is left open. That they also may be milk, but milk that has been forged through several stages of maturity vary, but raw milk is processed through the achievements so. Here the word tame or domesticated into what used to only have experienced many new challenges can achieve the same.

There's a fence to prevent. China is a special free service. Those who hold the forbidden world round, he will be freed from the birth and death. He who does not hold or break a story about his story, not of who has the right to go fine. In five of the person's home base; hold several world well; not necessarily hold all. Those who hold the precepts round as he took his own clothes washing his career really carefully, each time wearing to see fragrant. If not washed the shirt of his career, then get yourself smell that odor alone; one can not punish him at all, except himself to repent our mistakes have caused creation. Usually if there's, we will at least cause mistake, just like cows eat grass, surrounding it with barbed wire. If it is beyond the fence will be electrocuted. Here the world is like and if we do not own vows precept also means that we easily transgression. Since around you do not have a fence surrounded the rules.

The Buddhists are Buddhists seek refuge in the Three Jewels and over the life of the Buddha's precepts were devised. Tin deeper cause and effect, crime blessed. True grace teaching practices being predestined according to the Ten Second, the Eightfold Path, Four Noble Truths, etc. ... Respect the life of the organism, the Buddhists are often vegetarian every month 2 to 4 or 10 days. There is a vegetarian and to express love for all things. There are also practice the Paramita continent such as generosity, morality, patience, diligence, meditation and wisdom too. This is called the true Buddhists and devout.

So who are they so? - They are both her old man, young men and women; who have family or widowed. From street vendors to his engineer, her doctor, her lawyer, Mr. Chief Justice. He's the court, Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. King, Mrs. Queen, Princess, etc. ... They all exist in the light of truth of the Buddha and all are called Buddhists.

A poor old woman offered the money to buy two oil lamps worship Buddha, was a morality tale stature in Buddhism. As compared with the United King Sa Binh, she was nothing, but her heart into the multiplication of natural light, more than all the wealth of the king bringing offerings to the Buddha. Recently heard, we may assume that this is allegory, but it is moral, is life, life is an expression of a director who believes by not seek alms.

In my country many poor people still do not have their money to the temple, they bring something to the temple, such as melon, fruit squash, fruit meeting, carrying firewood, etc. ... Look happy face when they are offered in the temple. Monks, nuns receive the gifts such, must be more diligent and have in mind: how to target the credit to this experiment. If no practice, son out of sex, make sure you will not still living under the roof of the temple. Although the temple gate called the gate does not, then no one set all, but very difficult to walk through this door.

There are Buddhists as a bricklayer, carpenter, mechanic, etc. ... they worship the fireplace on which to build the temples, the pagoda from the start until completion. They never miserable coal, hard coal, but they always feel the wood, even invite your friends to the temple known as the fruit; in order to beautify the temple in many different ways.

They are woman, man entitled to social assistance or money due to their descendants. They look at the spending to worship at the temple for merit. Many aunt, grandmother spent time daily, weekly or monthly bus ride to the temple for baking, cooking or doing odd jobs for the temple ... just to help the temple and you hope he or she means to take care of the director.

They are students, civil servants, or engineer, doctor, nurse, etc. ... they go to the temple to learn Buddhist teachings in the retreat; in Lent Kiet House or on the weekend . There are many Buddhists in the hospital when a doctor, but when the temple, they bunch up her sleeves to cook, wash dishes, etc. ... You see, there are what make the abbot of the temple, to see the pictures this without the hearts and wonder that you have to use more of how to reward Na Forum For owners here? These are questions that in mind always the practice to remind yourself to take in each moment of life.

They were wealthy merchants, wealthy do business. Each also contains no small number of net assets, but they have to hide or be anonymous. They do not want to amplify what their wealth to others. Someone offered the 10,000, 100,000 or more, but still remain anonymous. This speaks to the idea of ​​giving any adversity, and when for no reward. Maybe because they do win relationship, but is important in heart. Because of this life, there are many wealthy people, but where everyone is shown to be fact.

They are Mr. Minister, Mr. Quan, Ms. District Chief, Mayor, Congressman, Senator, etc. ... But their high status, but they sometimes spiritual emptiness. So they need the image of temples and monks. So bless the offerings made to them is not difficult as long as they have heart.

Ancient Buddhist temples in Vietnam, China, Japan, Korea and his office, Princess, Queen and King are often offered to the temple to temple land for cultivation and yields to feed up recording them in Pagoda. There are many temples do not farm out, lease to people, to harvest, and bring people share yields to the temple. All donors only three persons to serve Three Jewels.

In the past the kings of the construction of great temples such as Linh Mu National Auto, Tam Thai, Linh Ung, remaining so on ... for the purpose of state for national security and people to his place for the Royal Ms. Lord Buddha to the temple.

Today look at the great temple in China, Korea, Japan or Thailand etc. ... we have to remember the order of military merit this Kingdom. Without them, the Buddhist culture and art of building temples are not difficult to grow and survive to this day.

When the Koreans visited the house contains two pronouns like India, China Buddhist temples, pagodas, etc. The level ... makes everyone who also looked out. Without the heart of the martyr and the first king of devout lay people, how to build the Buddhist relics such.

Or when to Nara, the old capital of Japan, where St. German prince reigned in the 6th century temple visits Eastern University, Hung Phuoc Pagoda, Temple French Long etc. ... or Kim at the temples of Kyoto, The Bank, Thanh Cards etc ... makes someone difficult nature to some matter must bow before the will admire the patience and strength of our ancestors. Most of today we have full facilities, but few people have the power to build the house so the Great Self.

Jobs in giving blessings of Buddhist offerings such as oil droplets to bring Buddhist temple offerings, brought flowers, incense extract, vegetable, fruit, etc. ... for the temple to make offerings to a larger net assets in business publication serving, create objects, bell, built Ursa mail. Or, build roads, bridges, hospitals, etc. workhouse ... the Grand Master Thondrop Tibetan Tulku, author of "Death at An Lac happy Born Again." He said that those virtues are small or large oil-like droplets of rain, flowing into lakes commonplace, then went to the river, eventually flowing to the immense sea. When the sea was no more water droplets, the first new addition is no longer needed. Just like that, merit is something that even the Buddha or the North Vietnamese kingdom still needed. So we should try to produce more tears, to the immense sea there is accumulation of good people doing good.

I came to Germany in 1977; in 1978 to build Buddhist mindfulness enlightenment at Contour lines in the city Kestnerstrasse Hannover. Because of conditions in 1980 to fellow Vietnam to German refugees crowded; so I had to leave the temple on the road Eichenkampstrasse by funding a monthly rental of the German Federal Government. This is taxpayer money. The German authorities are mostly followers of Catholicism and Protestantism, but they gave Buddhism a place of worship, prayer and worship in such cases for 25 years. It is a virtue no small thanks to my own and for all the Vietnamese Buddhists living in this country Germany. They favor competition but did not need to pay off; as long as I give that program must perform to perfection is enough.

The German notion that a religious person at harming the security of their order. So they help the temple, also means helping people live with their director and has since supported the government worry about security issues for those with religious people who do not believe in any religion. This is the gift of the Vietnam Buddhist received from the German government in recent years. We are people from Asia, no blood relatives do with them, they treat us more than blood relatives. This is one of four great gift of life that we not forget. Indian national, parent gifts, teacher gifts and grace of living beings is the kindness that people have to ordain any bowing of the day Care (am expecting a) and on Advent (light full moon day).

I do not think Germany is to make the temple or to do something for the future climate. But just to come and go but also to go, and not by Khuang, not nostalgia. Since arriving here, we did not bring anything in, then going so well. Only empty hands with leisurely realm of karma release only. No one handed me a responsibility at all. These are traditionally the responsibility themselves created, carrying on his shoulders and ask others to share with you. This is probably the Bodhisattva path, many people have experienced as vay.Toi not happy that the success; not sad to not like that. Now at age 63 then, by how much contemplation of life; I secretly sealed it all. Indian parents, teacher organizations, being, national country and those who had conceived for her tears, pieces of rice, clothing, medicine and three bowl. All are heavily kindness, but a religious practitioner director can not forget.

The majority of people take part in a civilized society this is not material because of good food, clothing or support is essential to life. Here they have to thank life, thanks Act opened to them a free passage, but in life generally less material life, or rather impossible to bring them to be. Today there are many monks have high qualifications and knowledge. They are in real life, can still find work and money to support themselves, but they have closed themselves in monastic life so, I must say: it is a sacrifice of his private life . Those who so admire. Because they are the ones who do died of Shanghai Si; but they are not completely holy. If you are a practicing Buddhist, should understand and sympathize with your teacher, you and her should contribute, to build the idea ho, to resolve internal problems, if any. Do not criticize each other, which should relieve these internal links if available.

One day I went on the train, met a German man of 40 years. He is an employer of food. He told me that his old father said: "I grew up, then do what?". While he watched his father and said: "Why conservative and backward Third World?". Today he was showing me that what he has starved to death as he thought three days ago, but he also owns a company anymore. The Foreign Exchange OAM But today he encountered a 12-year-old son of his, it also says, "Why Three conservative and backward is that?". It turns out that what happened in the past, just repeat the cycle as reasonable? I asked him: So who is right and what is wrong? He replied that each generation has a right and wrong of it. No one is completely wrong at all and no one is completely right.

I have ordained disciple, have learned to eat properly. One day exchanging stories with me, he was saying: I want a Master Teacher in the 21st century of us; not the Master of the 20th century anymore. I am quiet person, but I was forced pleased and said: But if there is no 20th century, how has the 21 th century. I think that in the future if he was a disciple, disciples of the Master he would like to think of his children above all firm only. Life is a wheel, sometimes it's like to repeat what was intended. Who disloyalty with his parents and teachers of the children and later his disciples it will behave like this only. Since causality is never wrong. Oil for the people that have caused over the years, the day the results should also reap.

I thank life for giving me lessons in the face deserves a chance as well as in times of trouble most stringent. I thank my Director presentation that opened the way to go, through the understanding and compassion. Tolerance, forgiveness, diligence, generosity, etc. ... are faced nourishing material and I will raise a large and aging well in a director. I do not blame life but also life again thanks. I do not anger Act, on the contrary also thanked director helped me come close to its destination. It was the supernatural world, where freedom and was just absolutely love, do not carry the misery and hatred.

I must thank and honor the old man had nothing house of Dharma which means praise to worship at temples and silver. Thanks to your new Master Dharma facilities.

I thank the students, as well as monastic practitioners in family has supported me in many aspects of everyday life. Now if even speak the words "thank you" you should say, for after this no longer have the opportunity to say it with regret that time did not keep up anymore. Because of them, I successfully work some of that Buddhism as building temples, sentient, writing, translation, etc. ...

I thank the Secretariat for hard words, numbers and bills. They reported Vien Giac typing, layout for print service texts. They painted the cover was so beautiful, so someone must hold the book open and read immediately. They see every word, every sentence before printing.

I thank the Germans have to learn Buddhism in Giac Vien Pagoda in Hannover or German Monastery in Ravensburg. Or at school or in the streets. On the train or at the supermarket where they nhoen ... smile and ask me, Buddhism does not? Until now more than 30 years in Germany, I do not speak German was a heavy word or see him with no sympathy look. Instead, openness, harmony, compassion ... This is probably a blessing in itself.

There are many German Buddhists did Giac Vien Pagoda testament to inherit their fortune. Since they do not have children, as well as because they sympathize with the temple and the monks living in the temple. I also would like to honor them, even though they have not provided the health and life over the Three Jewels of Buddhist precepts, but they are those who have been my guide in German as Sutras: French United, with the , Vu Lan, Prajna etc. ... Undoubtedly, they did not want my honor, but Buddhism without such people, Buddhism is hardly widespread. When the Organization of Chinese Master to open paint and Vietnam mission.

Then the operators of this position in Vietnam. The Vietnam Buddhist religious teacher, and they continue to build the temples where they founded the lineage and continuing sectarian group that you brought to this Division. Now we come to Germany this, tomorrow we will go. Is that what we leave for Germany this home affordable? Or become a rapidly forgotten? Hope is not the case. Because the garden where their spiritual, we now have an implant in addition to flowers and lotus and lotus buds that will sprout emerged later. This will contract with the predictions of scientist Albert Einstein said, " A Religious harmony appropriate development in the 21st century onwards. It is a Buddhist . " Hopefully, the prophecy of scientists, this father of relativity does not say wrong, when Buddhist delving deeply into all aspects of European life in this America.

Looking across Germany, ubiquitous stores selling vegetarian German called "reform Haus". Processed foods with whole soy. This has something to say? This is the spirit of respect for the lives of others; should Thua Buddhism advocate a vegetarian coconut. They are not Buddhists, but diet and this spiritual life does not go out much of the Buddha's teachings.

I want to thank everyone, all species have helped myself in particular and society in general and men in all aspects. Since there without them I would not, but if they do not have nor how. Since I am nothing. I'm just a tiny grain of sand in the desert atrophy. I'm just a drop of water in the ocean was endless. I would be nothing, but if anything, I would say the words "thank you" to seal life and seal Act, including those who have been practicing Buddhist household and construction of a contempt Religion tireless grinding in many different forms. There are like new Act exist in this world.

If life is just plain allergic flowering period was also discussion on the life much flavor, but if the flowers that you have in more liberating flowers sublime mystery, the gardens vibrant spirit will know the other How likely is.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY BACH LIEN HOA.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
