Buddhist rituals as well as a means to transfer Religion in Life, download the Buddha nature to the human heart. Perform Buddhist rituals is one of two paths spread directly and effectively.
The ceremony is an important and essential part in the survival and development of a religion. So Buddhism from India when Buddha was himself he knew cumbersome ritual use of Brahman, the Buddhist rites, but very simple, mainly to uphold the meaning of life not place emphasis on prayer. By the transmission of Buddhism to the country, not only to meet spiritual needs by teaching economic theory but also enjoy yourself in legal traditions, customs, local culture, to help the masses in social activities as the ritual kiss. Therefore, the Buddhist rite parts are formed. However, depending on which indigenous ceremonies in each country, each region has a distinct tone.
Vietnam is a country with a culture rich in religious ancient, the Vietnam Buddhist since the early introduction of air into the cultural and religious life of our country that formed the Buddhist ceremony very specific to each region. The extensive development of Buddhism in Vietnam today, there is a significant contribution to the Buddhist ritual elements. We find the meaning of the word "Rites" What?
- Amenities: The design, sample rooms, rituals, bohemian ...
- Ceremony: The ceremony teachings, rituals, sacrifices, worship reverently ...
Thus, in the broadest sense it embraces ritual behavior, attitudes, beliefs, religion, culture, language, style of man and society. In a narrow sense, the ritual is the ritual, chanting religious nature of a religious worship. The ancients also have a saying: "Amenities in general, holidays in mind." With the form of "empowerment the cytoplasm List" and aspiration "Upper Bridge down" of the Buddhist monk ceremonies can not ignore. Because the rituals related to posture, regulated that each person subject to Meditation dignified self. Have the sentence: "Friendship Oai to captain, honorable friendship." Words, the full majesty three thousand, eight international behavior are like rituals.
The ceremony is an expression of Buddhist culture, Buddhist art to convey the sublime teachings of the Buddha, life goes on quietly, but effectively deep. To show respect Tam said, people often pay homage to Buddhist offerings, praise, praise Ba throne, when Tam insurance trust creates a profound transformation in their souls, sublime philosophy of Buddha is they felt with the heart rather than mind. There are all approved, all bays, or who had a very profound meaning to the listener emotional strength, which makes our hearts light up, paving the way for an enlightened reached by foot as wonderful vibe.
In Asian countries, especially Vietnam our country, the ancient ritual was an indispensable need to worship ancestors and grandparents popular belief, it is an inseparable part left in life, which became religious cultural beauty of our nation. Buddhist rituals play an important role to create beauty and Buddhist culture contributed to embellish the garden character of cultural beliefs in Vietnam. Today, praise music Buddhist ritual has been recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
In Buddhism there are many French such as: Bridge Security, pray, Diagnostic International, Free delivery, Free Posting ... Because it is a necessity indispensable in public life generally, and in religious activities Buddhist spirituality in particular. The concept of prayer in Buddhism is not begging any god or a powerful force that, that prayer is expressed humility, the diameter of those who became enlightened liberation, is the concentration of thought, of spiritual power put into one place, creating a flow of energy to convert the concept of delusion, evil becomes clear and honest. Prayer is a way of mind, the idea to transform the heart, heart.
However, even showing any form of Buddhist ritual is a means to transfer Religion in Life, download the Buddha nature to the human heart. Perform Buddhist rituals is one of two paths spread directly and effectively. One way is to use language to open awareness and thinking practice, toward enlightenment truth; one way is to use a ritual to transform the spiritual vibe with paving the way for a liberal transcendent spirituality, sense of others returned to the chief director. The method that is different but share a target delivery profit missionary activities. It can be said: The ceremony is missionary activities, the educational rite, ritual is a spiritual practice law, head of direct nursing care, dignified self, full majesty and virtue, worthy of the heavens, the respectfully.
As a missionary activities or in the position of an abbot, should be firmly on the ceremony, both the smooth and in the use of Buddhist rituals, meet spiritual beliefs as a means of public access and direct them to holiness. This is one of the limitless teachings up to the Buddha and Patriarch Do you have taught, if the practitioner is the thorough nature "Depending coast invariant" of missionary activities, the ceremony is the optimal means to directing career achievements.
The people of the East in general and Vietnam in particular the heavy emotional life, and beliefs of high demand. Especially in material life growing today, requires spiritual needs of people is higher. When they come into contact with Buddhism through ritual makes religion needs to be improved, the brighter, the spiritual life will be more holy. As a result, Buddhist rituals implicitly become the direct means, to them of being popular and practical of all.
In fact, mass equal to the Buddhist religion needs such as bridge safety, pray, Funerals, weddings ... There are never home to the Temple but met as a family property through life, they come up from time to Temple, Ni help take care of the taste and then became a believer of Buddhism. Most common people to the Temple door not to learn but to practice the teachings, but because the demand for religious sacrifice, as the law. So, for them, a monk is a necessity to meet the needs ritual sacrifice, and then include education about the teachings of the Buddhist monks, nuns. That said, not contempt for the religious education that we must learn to manipulate the media to take to end, and to overturn the ideological distortions, prejudice to the ritual, the VTP effects. The problem is that we view ritual as a means for the delivery or cure for profit nursing.
If charity is a means to missionary activities in the material, the ceremony is the way delivery of Religion in Life by the fluttering of the heart. Business sense through words, sound scholarship shelf with deep hum tone, in harmony with the tone and gas law, open, makes the thought of the first stage, the purity, peace, reconciliation is the grief has settled deep in the mind of. That's the true meaning of Buddhist rituals, to inspire the Buddha nature in each seed being through ritual.
To achieve the rituals of high efficiency Hoang French, suppose we have to pay attention to the following factors:
Auto-body religious ceremony must be dignified style, serene, majestic identity, not glancing along the horizontal look, smiled and said, whirring, but to the reverent mind; Italy, Austria, Mao, measures to be dignified consistent with the ceremony. Sound initiated proceedings to quiet hero, up and down smoothly, and provide biased.
- We need the open market Dharma talks, lay in the province for the soul The spiritual ceremony, spiritual PhD, President of electricity and through which their family members understand the law is not-self, life is impermanent , to awaken the desire for religious freedom. Since this is a means to lead people to seek refuge Tam said sure.
- The work of ritual ceremonies to solid, there is a certain level of functional communication and sensing. And people do not know the legal expertise to apply to the feeling instilled in peace and freedom.
- When the feast, we focus on mental energy, as a focus of prayer will release a spiritual energy, that energy will flow to influence the physical and mental suffering of metabolic object of prayer.
- The yogi should always be aware that the ceremony is only a means to direct the masses to direct, when they come to the right direction to guide practice is peace, freedom is the end purpose of the practice the ceremony.
- The demand for religious, spiritual growing, but the vast majority of people weighing in form, popular bar text sights, just needs to know sacrifice, without understanding the deeper meaning of the ritual, leading to status of many young monks less direct force, no spirituality, lack of depth of spiritual practice took advantage of rituals as a means to support the pursuit of profit left to the chief director, influence the sanctuary free pictures of the Sangha. In this situation, we suppose you increase, the Central Board of Rites, as well as, Province should have rules and regulations for this.
Finally, ritual plays an important role to create cultural beauty of Buddhism, is no longer a means to transform spirituality, bringing people into the Act, that the practice is a practice to achieve true enlightenment as the Buddha nature with spiritual vibe. Buddhist rituals have a very specific value, that is one way to achieve enlightenment yogi liberated deep calm and fullest. /.
