CEREMONY ULLAMBANAS AND THE MEANING OF FULL MOON DAY IN JULY.

 

Originally meaning of this ceremony called, "Vu Vu lan lam or service sinks are negative quarters (Uiiambana). There is another negative is that Alamnana service. Yan said master location, Vu lan island sinks Rescue Service is legendary: the rescue of suffering as hanging. Thus, Vu lan texts means that the only way to rescue misery in the data level, which is the main meaning, and full bath is translated Vu lan negative element. However, due to random words sound identical to that of Bon Chinese characters, and the importance of words, texts refer to the place any donated equipment, the legendary island to save. Vu lan so that the random tub obligations spread tub. But this definition depends only oil the texts, that is quite important. " (Business Vu lan, optical Tri translated, printed 2004, tr.52).
Speaking Vu lan and meaningful ceremony on July fifteenth, first up we see brilliant spirit deeply pious. The spirit of piety that have been clearly identified for the Buddha in the Anguttara business as follows: "Those who repay Posts by foster parents, as an offering to the wealth of money is never enough to satisfy father thanked mother. But these monks, for parents who do not have faith in the Triple Gem, they encourage parents to have faith in the Triple Gem, for the parent's life is wrong to encourage the district's parents, for parents involved do they encourage giving, the path of the Buddha's right view. Until so, these monks are doing enough and meet enough reward for the father and mother ".
a different segment, the Buddha taught: "Behold monks have two classes of people, I say can not be repaid; World What are the two? It is the parents. If he carried one shoulder, one shoulder carrying her, do so for a hundred years, until centuries-old parents. So these monks, is not enough to repay his parents. If massage, rub anointing, bathing, clear calls even in there and parents are scattered defecation urination, even so, the monks have not done enough to repay his parents. " (Economic Anguttara I, No. 751)
After two passages, we see Buddha sons are called, would not be curious to know parents care for the full material life but also his parents come to know the direction on the right path. As a dutiful son, we must learn to respect and obey their parents taught, early evening visit. When parents are sick, we are dedicated care. In particular, we have to teach their parents the Three Refuges, became devout Buddhists in dharma.
the stream of history, we see Vu lan holidays from the area of filial piety, seeking Report grace of faith nurturing Moggallana. The story goes that after the Interreligious Forum faith fake ordained by the Buddha, attained record information practices. Knowing her mother was still alive made ​​a lot of bad karma, so mystically He found his mother in life oppressed and the hungry ghosts of hell A spleen. Seeing the emaciated body skin and bones because of her hunger, he was very compassionate laments should be linked to beg for a bowl of rice and brought it to her, but because of greed four career no end to see her, was way feel make coal a bowl of rice into the fire, can not swallow. German Section The extreme pain, weeping bitterly and then returned to transparency about the Buddha to ask for her research methods. The Buddha's teaching recorded scriptures and Vu Lan day become the grand tradition of the Buddhist people around the planet Fragrant Palm Leaves. And virtues that are expressed through specific examples of venerable piety Maudgalyayana and the torch was lit up bright as pious message of filial piety to our parents to follow.
particular ethnic Vietnamese South of us, Le Vu lan festival of pious tradition, cultural identity becomes ingrained in the people mind a few thousand years. So, on July fifteenth day the people of Vietnam always remember and see it as a "festival of filial of the nation", and in some ways it also called "day of death personnel, "... What do we need to express ourselves as children are hyperactive? ... and outside the spirit of piety, Le Vu lan full moon day in July and mean what? ... The first meaning: It The Buddhas are happy days. On July full moon day is called Buddha happy, because in our loss of the Buddha, monks of his disciples are often most closely Buddha, as well as excess of firstborn teachings of the Buddha being, bringing the Buddha Dharma that is an example for being in the world. According to Mahayana thought it was traditional Buddha taught monks to settle in a country residence for religious concepts in the rainy season, and throughout the three month retreat dues over body and mind, to cultivate gender Property was concluded on July full moon lunar calendar. But why monks have settled in three months of summer? Because: first, Indian summer weather is rainy season, so very many insect reproduction, which alms to the monks will easily trample insect damage to all things compassion; second two, monk alms bowls should be rain wet y happy losing solemn monk, accidentally make our world born disrespectful third, Bhikkhu Buddha taught us in the rainy season, depending on each where travel is limited to focus on the religious concept, and make life in the sangha continental air to attack religious virtue. Therefore, a Buddhist practice to end in three months dues fullness pure, three months ended happily settled Buddhas, so called on this day happy Buddhas. latter meaning: It is a day They increased slowly. Day is the day we increase suicidal self-examining where your body and mind, viewed in the three months to settle in deliberate or accidental violation of anything to spontaneous massive (yet), then by letter Increases have shown that, for his morality is repentance. This is a very nice gesture, we should preserve the honor because it means something very special on their journey to enlightenment. In this world, when a person intentionally faults they seek to avoid, escape faults; let others know if they would be shamed, for they often cover up sin and therefore more quality husband. But enlightenment is settled down after three months is complete, the Buddha taught monks to demand of others only for their errors, that is not to others just to have a genuine error that I need other people happy only , prior to the Sangha for which said, "O great faith, today we increased slowly, I will commit suicide, I have great faith that more mistakes are seen, heard, or suspected, please show mercy with great virtue, if you see a violation, such as legal for repentance. " It is the Development Center for purity, with no little cover, transparent to the general public is taught to clean, so no longer guilty. So this day is called the day they increased slowly. Tuesday Significance: This is the date of receipt of additional age. This day is getting old director. In the world give birth parents when the child is one year old is called a. But in Buddhism, monks life of renunciation, not by style but by the age of the world lower particle, which means that after three months of monks retreat shall be one year old. Age lower particle also underscores the need to practice specializing in the over dues body and mind, cultivates about the property. fourth meaning: It is the day of death. every July to full moon, the Buddhists general and Vietnam in particular, inside everyone there is something sacred reminder: Date Vu lan was on, as well as the opportunity to pray for the deceased ancestors. In Business Vu lan taught: "Those who have the real objects shopping Dang offering up their own quarter of the time pre-parental relatives Relatives are all the grace of suffering Tam sure map out its pleasant Landscape Natural Serenity For parents out of money as a result life is also broadcast school-aged parents as the current seven generations of birth will go straight heaven. " Through the scriptures we find meaning and signaling methods, elections, human indulgence was recorded in detail. But how do we implement this method believe that it will have good results. This is quite understandable, since we are taking refuge in the Three Jewels and the great compassionate power of the monks practice three-month retreat, made ​​up of voluntary repatriation effort uncle so souls thanks to the wonderful blessings that super escape darkness. Therefore, Vu lan meaning is the message of the content on the Lord Buddha's teachings and devoted son who want to repay the kindness shown by parents will be forever imprinted in my heart's blood Buddhist people. Also how the soul is awakened in an odd place implications earthly suffering, as well as how the bell to wake the mortal sin of filial piety in this domain. Buddhist celebration will remind the children know that light back to the Enlightenment roots of self-discipline. Today, seasonal spreads return signaling in the heart of humanity, the day's heart, How curious feeling sincere heart knitting happiness rises into two beings who nurture. Father, mother! Give me faith in the truth of Buddhism, and be witness to the filial mind rice and more of those working children. Now, kneeling by the light from the rays of the Three Jewels, imitated by virtue Moggallana let us devote much of his noble and sincere thanks to the magic power of the Three Jewels frees parents. New hope so repay the favor deep in our parents want one.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.( SRAMANERIKA.( NOVICE-MUN ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST-NUNS.( GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY ).27/7/2012.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
