CHAPTER 6.LEARNING BUDDHISM.

 

The major schools of thought in Buddhism

The Way of the Buddha constantly reminds us to avoid speculation as well as the creation of concepts, because that is what often mislead people makes us easy to get lost direction in the journey taken to Enlightenment treatment. Also, if the importance of an extreme difference between the parties, this will make us more vulnerable to fall into the mistake.

Entire schools of thought as well as the sects are on the right track with the path of the Buddha. All are true revolutionary.

Dao Nguyen (Dogen), one of the founders of the Japanese Zen had the following to say: "Anyone see Zen as a Buddhist sect and called it the" zen-shu "which means "Zen sect", then he is definitely a beast " (ie Zen Buddhist is like all other forms of Buddhist practice, it is not a sect - sect) .

Buddha's teachings can not be interpreted the same in each place, and through each era, his sermons he could not intact and completely invariant (though Buddha passed away, but his incarnation still exists in many different forms, through other forms body nhaude teaching according to the needs and level of each student, depending on the space and time different. In other words, the teaching of the Buddha adapted to the culture and human mentality at every place through the evolution of the history) . Also, through each context sages turn appear through different manners to uphold and promote the Dharma of the Buddha, but do not have a similar position at all (fur, Holy God, Dao Nguyen, and so on and so forth, and now is the Dalai Lama, all our hands to praise the Buddha's Dharma, even though it is in a language which , in a space or a time) .

Some people imagine the Buddha as an Enlightenment is in the posture of meditation - to itself such that imitate -, whereas some others are more concerned about the meaning contained in the His teachings - to carry the teachings huanay out that eager to study and learn - and a number of others, to look at the Buddha as an extension of reality - to launch the experience felt through his spiritual awakening ... (true authors summarize briefly all the way Buddhist practice in three different trends) .

On the part of our own? We are heading to look at the Buddha as an aspect like?

Anyway if you look at this current time, we can also classify the different tendencies in Buddhism based on geographic criteria.

In Southeast Asia, Theravada (perhaps temporarily considered to represent "Theravada") advocated a revolutionary ideal path: that is the path of renunciation.

In China and Japan, Buddhism brought more diversity, many schools of thought along parallel activities. Zen Studies Of these, Ch'an and Zen (Zen is a Japanese term negative from Ch'an terms of China) and these schools of thought, pay more attention to the form of revolutionary practice simple (simplicity, purity) allowed based meditation.

Buddhist Pure Land but very little development in the West but in Asia, the word for centuries've taoduoc many far-reaching, for example, in Japan, the Pure Land to occupy a leading position. This is a Buddhism advocates have to put all your faith in the words of Buddha symbolizes wishes Compassion (Buddhism A-di-momentum) , it is his wish to save any of them Students who call upon Him-we will return to this issue in the following paragraphs.

In all other countries of the Greek-code-Greek-Buddhist painting is developed based on a form of passive teacher composed the ceremonies ordained, and called is Tan-out (main at this point that many people misunderstand Buddhism Tan-out and call it "Tantric", calligraphy thugioi or just the form of revolutionary sacred ritual symbolizes the determination of the practice to follow the path of Buddha ) . This form of Buddhism paying special attention to the rituals and symbols to help switch a sudden it can be as obtuse to become intellectual form. Allowed to practice Buddhism Tan-tra necessarily put all efforts aimed straight into the Enlightenment.

Above classifications though very general, but can also help to determine the main directions of Buddhism: Theravada, Zen, Pure and Tan-out.

Meanwhile, the books are generally not based on the classification based on geographical criteria as above but raised two different trends that is Hinayana ( Hinayana ) and Mahayana ( Mahayana) . The term TT (vehicle) used to assign different permission to practice on the Path.

The distinction between Hinayana ( Hinayana ) and Mahayana ( Mahayana )

can be considered legitimate?

Chu TT (yana) was used to represent the teaching of the Buddha is based on a traditional image and the oldest in the Indian culture, it is the image of a ferryman to take visitors to the river. Ferryman represents a spiritual teacher took them across to the other side of the river or suffering realms of reincarnation (samsara) . Lotus Sutra, for the teaching of the Buddha as a vehicle to help them escape from a burning hut symbolizes the mistake (ignorance) .

Dividing into two trends Buddhist Mahayana and Hinayana were formed in World kythu I. A Chinese monk Yijing (Tsing, 635-713) pilgrimage to India in the seventh century is told as follows: "Those who worship the bodhisattva (Bodhisattva) and recite sutras Mahayana is called the practice the Mahayana, the people who practice the Hinayana. All Vinay are living together in a temple and between them does not happen a split at all " .

Mahayana monks still adhering to the principles of the teachings given by the Buddha, but explained in a different way with a number of new ideas and pretty unique.

But over time, gradually these two forms of Buddhism that tend to separate from each other, the position of leading the ancient Buddhism does not accept the path of movement improved.

Actually the term Hinayana (Theravada) only a naodo significance for advocates of Mahayana tendencies only, because it is well just settle a term coined by the Mahayana to criticize and despise perspective of those who do not share the same tendency with, and cungde reviews viewpoint is "narrow" (sub) .

But really, we should say that on the other hand, the distinction between Hinayana and Mahayana is a very useful means to help learn Buddhism - of course for those who are standing on the perspective of Mahayana alone (should understand that people "Theravada" do not know "Mahayana" is nothing, because it is such a chutruong or a new "trend" in Buddhism, or the author may also "aspects" that were available in Buddhism from the very beginning and only later more widely deployed only) . Mahayana thus can be seen as an explanation of some of the teachings of the Buddha based on a coherent analogy and the other. So let us try to understand these two tendencies stars.

Hinayana (Small Vehicle)?

In fact on this carry tethi successor did not represent any particular real schools of thought and all, and the reason is called "narrow path" because it was not brushed aside any at all (mound bundle) . Are not allowed to remove out of the way any one can form his own life. The way he always advised us to focus hard on the action (even the smallest) that are implemented in order to help her from committing an error (ie avoid actions ignorance, in other words is always kept in a state of mental awareness) . This is a very solid way, tough, persevering, honest and grim. But there is also what is needed and can not be flawed for anyone who really wants to step the Buddha's conđường.

Not need pay tamden the suffering is immense dominant, does not need to be uptight and worried too much to their purpose, but to listen and obey the teachings of the Buddha.

Hynayana (Hinayana) is a modified attention to every detail in your life, which is not allowed to make the world unclean because of their lack of vigilance behavior, in terms of language, as well as actions thinking.

Mahayana (Great Vehicle)?

Mahayana (Great Vehicle) to be deployed not is to replace Hynayana (Hinayana) , which fundamentally itself already contains its specific characteristics, similar to a hut is built directly on the foundation itself. To understand what the Mahayana must also understand the full meaning of the word "University". "Great" is something really great, covers all and be able to receive all (in Mahayana Buddhism, in addition to the historical Buddha Shakyamuni template-ni also includes both countless other Buddhas, the Bodhisattva, saints thandia means - which is breaking local, public, he apples ... and Inv. Regarding the practice, including many different methods : from meditation to the ritual performance, develop compassion, pink chanting the name of Buddha, reciting the mantra sacred revolutionary, etc.) . Can not capture the "Dai" great because it transcends all concepts, freed from the narrow limits of our conventional fields (great rather a question of definitions of Mahayana of the author, let us look into it so do not blame the church he addresses, apples ... and he Inv. Expand your heart, respect all, love all, including his apple bottle lem is holding a fan in the kitchen) .

Large step on the path is to choose for themselves a heroic attitude, do not let fear and measurement calculations as well as personal interests dominate and control shine.

Also very surprising that the Western world is not aware of aspects of "the Great" of the Buddhist path (West only emphasizes how science, philosophy and logic of Buddhism) , there is a way to reflect a form of praise style "heroism" (heroism) absolute least, but Buddhism under the aspect that is the form of Buddhism most common in most Asian ( an attitude is "hero" discreetly hidden side after the update dobao use, letting go, forgiveness, compassion, and are willing to accept all ... of a determination to follow the path of Germany Buddha) .

That style "hero" was Shantideva (Shantideva, 683-763) highlighted in his great work is Enter Bodhi Action Reviews (Bodhicaryavatara) :

"I wish to ask to make sure upholstery for the wanderers,

Finds its way to those who stray,

Family boat, a large crew compartment, a high bridge,

Help for all those who want to get to the other side of the river swept!

I wish to be an island for those who want to pick the right ones,

A lamp for those who are walking in the dark,

A bed for those tired,

A man slave to those who need the lord!

I asked for the jewel help make all the vows,

A mystery vase, a spell to bring the fullness,

A cure for all diseases, an ancient origin for people to pray,

Milk a cow for so much to offer for this thegioi! "

At first glance, the above verse seems rather exaggerated! But Mahayana, is like that, always encourages us to do what exceeds his own ability with a determination so strong, and it is also a way to help combat the indifference only calculations and considerations for their own private interests.

Mahayana is a step jump in a place that does not need to know where it is, just understand that we are aggressively in an open, honest and never wrong.

Nobility which only requires us to only one condition that will not leave the world of reincarnation (samsara) . Out of compassion for all sentient beings, our prayers will forever stay beside them in captivity around the world.

Determination would cut off greed only scavenged all his own, and to promote the practice to an extent that makes them reject enlightenment. If you look under the aspect that is the wish to achieve enlightenment for yourself also would be a great desire too narrow and low. Should put all their activities for the purpose of liberating all sentient beings be free from suffering, and can not be excluded a sentient being.

Indeed if desire for enlightened datduoc for the own, the course itself is also a contradiction to the above meaning. If enlightenment is a way to "remove" all cling to the self that is in all personal intentions, how do you "earn" it? ("remove the self" in order to achieve enlightenment, thenhung "seek enlightenment" - for yourself - it is a form of "raising the self", the main conflict is that he is) . Mahayana Buddhism is coherent. Disclaimer enlightenment is the path to enlightenment. This is helping us to open our hearts. There is something đóđang ringing call us (so, something is ringing call us now? This is heart từbi, and very discreetly hidden behind the boundless compassion that is our own enlightenment. Summary should not be placed in front of enlightenment to look at it as a goal but to uphold the compassion and "concealed" his own self) .

Every school of Buddhism do not share the same view like that. However in my opinion diemay highest peak and also the most amazing aspect of the entire teaching of the Buddha. This is a way to help us listen to the ringing call of Suthat rang out from the human heart.

Should choose the Hinayana or Mahayana, and can immediately start practicing Mahayana?

Hinayana and Mahayana are not two different schools of thought which is really just two different attitudes behave on the road. The first attitude (Hinayana) , advised us to conduct accurate and always let go, and the second attitude (Mahayana) is to expand their hearts to infinity.

Impossible hienduoc second (allows practice of Mahayana) if it is not enough to master how thunhat (to practice Theravada) . However, the transition may also happen automatically. At some point on the road, the sound of ringing call of openness that also came a natural way.

The ringing call is not only happen once and then silence. When you step on is Theravada road, to a certain time that is the desire to bring the character factors also sehien to us (just looking at the social activities in Thailand, Burma, Sri Lanka ... and you will find just is Buddhist compassion but not regularly mentioned and praised as in Mahayana countries but always flowing absorbent and silver everywhere in the social life of the country this) . But not so that Hinayana is removed (after entering the Mahayana) . Hinayana always is a basic essential on the way we are buocdi.

Form of Theravada Buddhism as being developed today in Asia rather to ancient Buddhist and fidelity to the teachings preached by the Buddha when he was on earth?

No!

First Theravada is not fully leveraged the entire ancient Buddhism, which represents only one of the eighteen ancient schools of thought exist. All other ancient schools of thought were dismissed.

Theravada Buddhism has changed a lot through history for centuries (for a Buddhist who understands how the law correlation and impermanence, also sephai understand that nothing is immutable) . Theravada Buddhism tunhan orthodox and conservative and therefore self has kept intact the teachings of the Buddha. Many Western scholars also tend to advocate this point - but the practice of their own, it reflects a tendency to reform it (this comment the author's very precise and delicate, because many Westerners practicing Theravada but their activities and thoughts reflect quite distinct aspects of Mahayana) . Anyway, all the sects of Buddhism self according to the source teachings of the Buddha. If you look in that respect, it is hard to assert between Theravada Buddhist and Tan-tran is dispatched in accordance with doctrine.

On the calendar suthi aspect of Theravada Buddhist is not the oldest in the East Asian region. Form of Buddhism was rooted first in the region this land is Mahayana Buddhism, and most especially Tan-tra TT - Theravada represents a minority khongdang told (in the beginning of this period) .

In the XII century in Sri Lanka, for political reasons only Theravada Buddhism is the official permitted activities, thus dominating all other schools of thought. The reason Theravada has grown in Sri Lanka it is due to the political support of the monarch of the time and also at that time, Buddhism is entering a recession everywhere else in Asia Chau. Previous golden age began to end (Buddhism began to develop very strong in the Near East, India and Asia from the III and II century BC and reached its peak on V to VIII century AD, most of the great masters in the history of Buddhism appeared during this peak period: from second-century fur to Shantideva eighth theky. Tan -TT investigation also formed around the first century V. In China, Buddhism flourished under the Tang Dynasty ie on about thuVI century to the eighth, Zen Studies was formed in the V and VI century and has developed rapidly after that. Buddhism was introduced into Japan in century thuVI. Following flourishing period lasted about ten centuries on the Buddhism batdau decline, and in particular in India, you can considered completely disappeared after kythu XII) .

Anyway, could not see Theravada (Sri Lanka) as a mainstream branch of Buddhism, because Buddhist schools of thought was based on the Burmese renaissance and revived the tradition of that had previously been dismissed in Sri Lanka (Buddhist king A-education introduced in Sri Lanka in the third century BC. Buddhaghosa (Bouddhaghosa) from India to Sri Lanka in the fifth century and is who has authored Visuddhimagga (Visuddhimagga) and the there is also the most important teachings interpretation of Theravada. Mahayana and Tan-out redundant take on Sri Lanka in the eighth century and was developed in here until the eleventh century, thenhung then decline. Generally, after this period Buddhism wane and lose all influence in Sri Lanka after the other races - such as Tamil and Hindi-India to invade and then turn to the Portuguese-train-home and Dobo and British invaded Sri Lanka during the colonial period. Theravada Buddhism in Sri Lanka today is a recovery with more or less borrowed from Burmese Buddhism. Also please consider adding is the British language brought Tipitaka Pa-li tuTich lan to England to translate this into English and English created be dominant nhieuanh in the Buddhist countries Theravada in Asia, including caTich spread, Burma and Thailand, and also contributed to the promotion of Buddhism worldwide. previous reason is that the Tipitaka was almost sunk into oblivion because not many people read English Pa-li, including those who live on the island of Sri Lanka).

Can assimilate the Theravada the Hinayana or not?

In general, from the classics to some of the views related to specific concepts of doctrine, including the practices of Theravada ..., all of which contain at many aspects very close to definition of Hinayana.

But the concept of "Hinayana", it is only necessary to bring some sense when used to highlight the individual characteristics of the "Great Vehicle", and therefore can not be raised to the represents any one school of Buddhism ca.That so in fact not any one of them claiming to be the Hinayana. Anyway, for some certain concepts - such as how to understand the self - both Theravada and Mahayana, are given different explanations (for the liberty of summarizing the is the term Hinayana is used only in the case when the definition Mahayana is and in fact it is not representative of any one school of thought. Theravada is a school must come from one of the 18 schools of thought old and therefore can not fully represent the entire school of Buddhism "Theravada") .

If the real face Teva practices will notice immediately that Theravada is not also take a few aspects of mystery and magic that we had misunderstood. Theravada Buddhism is sometimes also shows some influence from Tan-investigation, keca the worship of local gods. Therefore can not view ancient Buddhist Theravada nhula of India, and also can not see it is a form of Buddhism absolute respect for the meaning of Hinayana concept, but rather it is just a form of Buddhist Teachers have more income local customs after expansion in Southeast Asia (in countries such as Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Burma, it was also found that some forms of superstition and "worship" naodo People living in the space, but that is not Buddhist, but rather just the effects reflect "culture" and "tradition" local, just like the case of the Mahayana) .

If you want to follow the Mahayana path, as do we?

While the oldest Buddhist advocates to leave the family, to sever all ties and secular cling to step into a life of isolation from the world, the Mahayana advocate a practice so brave, that is to serve the whole of humanity and helping all beings visual sense, ie know the feeling of pain.

Must be brave

Anyone who has walked in the footsteps of the Buddha can be seen as these heroes, quandiem also quite similar to the view of the knight in Western culture. Moderate knight dedication to helping others, moderate exercise to help you be able to rise above the fear and weakness, selfishness and suluoi loss.

Sometimes the Buddha is also regarded as a hero. Many folk tale called the Jataka (collected in Bon Born Business) A description of the Buddha's previous lives. In this story the precursor of the Buddha often take the form of animals and in each story, he sacrificed his life. For example, in a previous life he was the king of the deer species and have sacrificed their lives for good Suan of all of his subjects ie all deer; or in another story, he had is a female tiger and sacrificed his body to feed her children keep them from starving.

When you have to follow the duongDai TT, the practice always to desire going into the main road of Mahayana to help expand the "heart enlightened" their own, a loving heart, willing all to help his compassion can flare up causing suffering to end.

However, we should also be cautious because compassion is not an attempt to be kind or unearthed pity. Nothing more shame to feel that other people try to help themselves because they pity her. According to the Buddha, there is not a righteous way. A true hero attitude does not reflect a sense of distinction between himself and others, did not take a post-hierarchical division between the help and the help.

His merit for the good of all cachung

What is most important is the motivation in the hearts of practice: it is the determination to put the good of all beings above all, over and above their own interests. Behavior that is not necessarily merely a secondary objective to "heroes seek to find enlightenment" That direction in which the hero must see there is all reason for living his life.

Also the hero not only to comply with the rules that govern his external life as prescribed in the ancient texts, but also pay attention to your inner well, and this is all important. To remove all thoughts of himself as the center, there is a way to help your energy to focus resolutely towards others. At the same time it is also a way to help you eliminate the root selfish attitude for myself always have to suffer to destitution for disadvantaged thuva full, while the others are enjoy everything uudai. According to Buddhism, the attitude was completely irrational and necessarily bring suffering to ourselves alone (that's one way of thinking arises from jealousy and not henghi rules of cause and effect as well as did not understand the operation of all natural phenomena) .

Why absurd? Because we all are compatible with each other - if someone hurts another person, it is also the way that you do damage to yourself.

Why sad? Because we are always looking for every way to break into endless conflict against the whole of humanity (sad because jealous of everyone else and see themselves as the center and see all mankind not me). Meanwhile, happiness is a form of relaxation so deep, so that the stress state in the heart will not be able to bring himself happily as he was.

In that respect if you want to become a true hero must develop a heart of love is immense.

Must make six complete (Luc Three-la-bile)

Want to follow the duongDai TT must be made ​​for with six finishing is: generosity (generosity) , morality, patience, energy, meditation (mindfulness) , correct understanding - ie intuition-supernatural nature (prajna / wisdom) . It is these qualities help to overcome the river of confusion to get to the other side.

Of the six completed our first try to find out if that is what generosity means (since this is an introductory book to the author Fabrice Midal only explain about a in complete saudieu as a pilot case in point, as if to explain all six perfect, maybe even a book is not enough. "Friday The Perfect" or "Luc Three-la-bile" of Mahayana Buddhism can also thexem as equivalent to "The Way of Eight right thing" or "Noble Eightfold Path" of Theravada Buddhism, just more or less in terms of presentation) .

Generous represents the true generosity, which means giving without waiting for response, a real letting go. If waiting for, but also an appreciation for or something certain benefits, it is just a bribe. Action could not represent a true devotion is Maday is a form of trafficking.

The generosity of course related to the meaning of emptiness. For true generosity, there is no one for anything nor did anyone get anything - no one's debtor nor creditors who are both. Mahayana generosity because love, to help me fit in with the movement of the Mahayana, and especially not for any of their actions can make sense of generosity that was action term. We alms round with real emotions out of the heart, and there is also nothing more than a way to manifest our own abundance.

Mahayana is composed of many different schools of thought and they all choose the path of compassionate hero. However also can Mahayana divided into three main groups: Zen School Zen, Pure Land Buddhism and Buddhist Tan-out (sometimes also known as Tan-tra TT, or Vajrayana) (anyway , please also called "Tantric" because nothing can be more wrong).

Learn Zen meditation?

Zen Zen master is Shou Shan (Player Son - also known as Prime Paint Pure Anniversary - a Zen suTrung Korea, 926-993), holding a bamboo spike up and asked his disciples as follows: "Hey up, if known a bamboo sticks, take a look at it thoroughly too (dexem have the right or not, because can see it is an illusion, a structure consisting of several components, etc.) . If the increase is not that it is a branch of bamboo, that is up against some obvious facts (against a certain Suthat: ie bamboo sticks in front of me) . So please tell me, immediately have to say tells us: "This is what?".

Learn Zen meditation often give examples or stories the like (apologue) to prove or to elicit the truth, or a thought that, instead of using lecture ramble. This is how Zen School Zen radical cut a narrow mind and shortsighted within each of us, the mind that seeks to divide and classify all first camoi and that is how to make them we can not integrate with reality (separation, pursuant to the provisions, express components of reality in my mind is a way to make or break a reality) .

Zen school was formed in China and called Ch'an (Zen). This school of thought that the form of celebration picky, method arguments, as well as enable complex extreme ascetic practices do not the right path, but only meditation is the true path. Meditation is simply not allowed to practice, but rather it is camot practice method to enlightenment, similar to the way that the German Phatda brought out done yourself. However, it should understand that meditation is not a means to help make a certain purpose at all - not term enlightened nhusu - in fact, it has itself directly represent a specific thecho enlightenment right in our lives in the present (not a means of meditation seeking enlightenment itself and it also is sugiac enlightenment) .

There is a legend has it that one day the Buddha used his right hand holding a flower brought up but did not utter a word. Among the disciples only a Kasyapa went smiling and consistent nature of the road. This story represents the essence of the Zen School Zen. Passive transmission (teaching, understanding, consistency, etc.) occur suddenly, the form of knots (mysterious character symbolic ...) is just a way to help discover simple nature of the transmission of only. Do not Pooh-Bah and needlessly complex. He Ca-lettuce also known as Ma-ha Ca-lettuce (Sanskrit Maha means Great or Large) is considered the first patriarch of course that must Ch'an (Zen) Ando.

Bodhi Dat-ma (Bodhidharma) was the 28th Patriarch Ando after Ma-ha Ca-lettuce, and he has brought allow this practice to spread in China.

Learn Zen necessarily focus on event words to be very honest with election wide open space of reality. Learn Zen did not pay attention to the collective interpretation of Zhenjiang customs that key chichu to the booklet gathered some of the statements of the great sutrong history. The book is largely presented in the form of oral questions, or to report back on the debate with the powerful to respond to questions intended to break up the direct feel and experience exactly when approaching with reality (if you catch the hidden meaning in the judgment and in the Zen story Zen Studies, will understand that it is not a a mysterious practice or operation picky at all, at least in terms of theory, but unfortunately, many people often bring the koan or Zen stories to explain ramble through Suphan guess and my personal understanding, including the interpretation that sometimes carry less character imagine. This is what totally goes against the purpose of the Zen School, which is a direct perception of reality by intuition. For example meditate purpose of the Soto sect is "so that the sit "every attention to posture is correct, do not contemplate anything, no analysis at all, did not learn anything and did not wait for anything. If distracted, back to your breath , or look to see if your posture is correct or not. should not see the teacher rolled his eyes, cried out for an hour or earn gaydap school games that fear or guilt, it is just the expression of the What not to say in the language of the convention. Behind the gestures or hidden scream was just a single event: the reality is that, no name, no pretty bad, neither samsara nor sensory treatment, and it is!) . Zen Studies thousands of miles away with how to meet the style of the philosopher Plato (Greek ancient philosopher, 428-347 previous era) , it is the only way to drive us to the extreme boundary of the measures Comment. In summary the key issues in the Zen Studies have stoked the Truth like a ray of light, flashed suddenly. Consulate receive lightning quick intuition, to the point that can make torn sheet "movie screen" and dispel all of your expectations (movie screen panels represent the expression volatile illusion of phenomenal world, the meditator with a flash of intuitive grasp reality hidden behind the illusion and make immediate enlightenment, in addition to our own expectations. Yet also need to understand that enlightenment is "short-lived" like a flash, because the illusion will flood back in the mind of the meditator. So Zen practice is to how naode the lightning that occurs more frequent, longer lasting, more flashes stronger, until at some point they will no longer be a sudden lightning bolt of intuition anymore, but become sustainable light of wisdom help meditation dispels his ego and see current practices in pure, pure peace and most of it) .

Once people understand something immediately will not wonder about it anymore and it will be dismissed out of his or her attention. Also curiosity that end.

Thus the Zen School Zen assigned to words a big role (a very strong statement, accurate and timely represent an intuitive reaction, not an explanation) . The teacher urged the disciple to open his mouth to say right up something gido. Have to be very flexible in the moment is going to help get away from the control of these conventional thinking, because that's what both trivial and cause more fatigue.

(Zen Zen Studies seem quite confusing for some people not used so well for the liberty to add a few other examples in the hope cothe more clarification on this mission. Buddha holding a flower to up and not say anything. During such Fabrice Midal raised by the author, teacher Prime Paint (Shou Shan) holding a bamboo spike up and asked the disciples what it is and have to answer right away. Fabrice Midal stop there and do not matter because he may have thought that a context well enough to understand what Zen is. following is another example ramble a bit, a Chinese Zen master Bach Truong Huaihai (Baizhang Huaihai, Japanese called Hyakujo Ekai, 724-814) when he got older and wanted to choose a to tulen instead, he put on a pot of water between the phone and asked his disciples as follows: "If we do not allow call it a pot of water, the increase would you call it? ". Only one young monk to as the Son Spirit Huu (Guishan lingyou / Wei Shan / Shan Tung, the Japanese call is Isan reizu or Tozan, 771 - 853. The reason ramble about some details that is degiup the readers who wish to investigate further, the reason is because the book named as different characters, including the details of the story sometimes also vaidiem not the same) does not seek to answer around like the others that just kicked my foot vessel, splashing water and walked out of the fill. Guo called shock and entrusted the responsibility of change he managed the temple and sangha.

The project is so, meditation is like that: the restaurant that outburst by a word, a cry, or a gesture, such as a stick to beat the socks rock or something ... Because of the consistency that a reality intuitively can not giuim silence that can not be explained by the conventional language.

Bottom line is that most of the projects highlighted in the Zen Studies are aimed to intentionally catdut line of thinking and reactions revolutionary conventions that govern and bind us. If a thorough understanding of the purpose of the project and the Zen story ... , Zen and nothing is hard to understand) .

For Zen School Zen, what is the most honest election reality space before it was captured and analyzed by the familiar words (ie mean at that election primary space of reality not been captured, expressed and defined by limited knowledge and rules of each individual, in other words, is not affected by variations of the education, experience, personal experience and has not been highlighted by all sorts of colors now persist on the knowledge of each individual. Want access to vote in primary space it's a reality, it must dismiss the self of yourself truocda) . Learn Zen meditation under the aspect that has achieved the highest peak of the second cycle of the Dharma wheel - that is emptiness. We always tend to object tract (chosifier, reifier / reify / transfer any existence of an object, which means imagine what seeing a certain form based on the experience and understanding know individuals and their conventions) . Meanwhile, the Zen School Zen to find something to fit in with the absolute (non-express "form" anything at all - for the reader think of the a verse real hutrong Noble Nha: "Instant excellence, Instant no identity ", which means" form is emptiness, emptiness is form ", if nguoidoc associated with further who knows will understand that in star Buddha tuxung we are" Tathagata ". "Tathagata" in the Chinese language that is not where they come from and do not go anywhere, "fact" is "like", "like" is "as if", "Tathagata" has come to us more than twenty-five centuries ago and "Tathagata" still "like" in front of us today. "Like" called Zen and Zen means "Like") . should never be rated cost someone a single and then cugiu resources that assessment, which should only reach the right person with the reality of their fit every moment is happening, and in every moment that will create for you a new feeling, fresh, lively and full of surprises (that is a chuthe look at the variation of the object in front by the movement of his own consciousness through general movement of all phenomena in the universe. summary form "Like" described above not invariant or dry, but always moving with "Reality" in every moment. Authors Tibetan Buddhist practice but described the look of a wonderful meditation) .

Learn Zen meditation is not accept secular Suphan between (to remove) and spiritual (to pray) that only focus on their individual actions aimed them into meditation. Therefore meditation often spend a large part of his daily routine manual tasks. In the Japanese monasteries physical labor is considered as belonging to the student training curriculum, there is a way to help people meditate always integrate with reality through every moment of their lives.

What is Pure Land Buddhism?

At that time immemorial there was a spiritual practice, in Ando, ​​named Amitabha and in Japan, known as Amida (in Vietnam, A-di-da. Actually, by doing A-di-momentum - Sukhavathivyuhasutra - then this position is a king, and when the bring legal name is Dharmakara / France awarded). vow that if certain day the Buddha will save any beings respectfully call on you to. He will guide beings was Pure Land vecoi - a realm of perfection nothing can interfere with the practice and listening to French (if noted within the introduction of the Pure Land authors also mentioned smart we know as the A-di-da Buddha is not a Buddha history and realms TinhDo only as "a place" makes practice easy and listen to French) . After lots of practice practice, life is attained enlightenment, and thus His desire ago has become fully effective.

"Original estimate Prayer" is a manifestation of compassion towards enlightenment. Statement: "I will not enter into voluntary form of well-being when still a gap between me and the other beings, not allowing them to achieve can form great well-being", is a make the connection between compassion and absolute ("original estimates prayer" of the Buddha, A-di-momentum that the author put in two quotes show that it is a way of expressing compassion His margin for our students, and it is a permitted practice to help you fit in with the absolute reality-in short, a skillful means (upaya). Yet some people borrow statement to reveal the urging of his own ego in order to focus on a purpose completely contrary, ie wait Buddha A-di-da "to lead" the "ego" of his realm Sukhavati) .

Vows on Pure Land Buddhism has played a role similar to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for Christians. That action helped liberate all mankind (actually shall contain thehinh pureland on two different aspects. The first is lolong aspect his firm belief in the Buddha A-di-momentum and to call on him, under this aspect, the Pure Land is very close to Christ Church. second aspect is look Buddhist vaoDuc A-di-momentum to imitate Him and like Him, that is, reveal the boundless compassion and seek enlightenment, I will save all sentient beings also problems in the Realms. If you look under the aspect then TinhDo will totally different from Christianity) .

Those who attend this school practice the notion that our time today is an era full of panic and confusion so that people can not understand the teachings of the Buddha Sakyamuni What Mau-ni again. So invoke the Buddha A-di-momentum is the easiest way for them.

In the Western world very few people pay attention to the Pure Land Buddhism, but Buddhism is very popular in Adam and have outlined a path based on hope and faith as a means of to help to remove your own ego, and letting go will help people integrate into practice the teachings of Buddha.

In Japan it is common to compare study Zen with the Pure Land sect. Zen said that the reason achieved enlightenment was due to the practice of his own, thanks to "the power of his own", so have to be very diligent meditation practice and precept.

Pure Land school of thought will argue that enlightenment can only be achieved through the ruling that is attributable to the Buddha A-di-da. People can not extricate themselves, because the essence of the path is to kind bocai I consider myself the center (that is, the self can not remove it, the "I" can not remove the "I", "subject" can not remove the "subject" that can only be removed "objects." But can imagine enlightenment as a patron and no need to remove anything) .

The distinction above (between Zen and Pure Land) anyway purely superficial. Zen school a sense of transparency is the act of letting go is the essence of the practice of the Pure Land, and the default action does not mean do not use to allow practice thiendinh and also does not automatically means no need to transform their own hearts.

Moreover, both schools of thought are developed in parallel with each other in Japan, and in addition to difference as just kethi both the general direction in a form of Buddhism has be simplified toida by relying on an operating only. For the Zen school, hanhdong was sitting in meditation, and to the Pure Land, it is to recite the name of Buddha A-di-da. Both schools of thought are trying to push aside the role of books and other inference in philosophy of reason.

Buddhist Tan-tra?

It is to listen to the teachings of the Buddha with all the true meaning of its integrity.

We have three options for dealing with a poisonous tree for the whole fruit represents an error (mistake here means ignorance, but in this introductory book authors tend to avoid less specific terms in Buddhist teachings to help for nguoidoc not familiar with the term Buddhism more tracking) and feeling himself at the center (ie his ego) .

The first is executed the strict real giugioi, there is a way to help you pick off all the toxic effects produced by the plant. The work was so meticulous and patient, and it is also the practice of defining methods of Hinayana (Hynayana) (or Theravada) .

The second way is to use the shop see emptiness and launched the compassion to removing the root tree, that is to cut off all attachment leads to confusion (ignorance) . Method this radical revolutionary Dehon - and it also allows practice of Mahayana (Mahayana).

The third way is to allow practice of Tan-out, allowing this practice guidelines on picking and eat poisonous fruits born from the tree, instant thenhung then will have to turn them into a elixirs. Do not pick up anything, also not cut down at all. Therefore this practice is also often compared to "metallurgical allowed" to turn lead - ie everything afflictions - became gold - that is, to form the great well-being. For Tan-out, both of the permitted practice presented above (State and Mahayana) shows the not hoidu ability to help us put all our trust in the spirit of the teachings of the Buddha. These two approaches are heavily dualistic way, that is not removed in some subtle form of violence, because for this cahai schools of thought, the practice is still trying to seek to eliminate confusion (ignorance) almost achieved enlightenment (ie the ego must strive to remove the ignorance that is their object to help achieve enlightenment that is intentional . Distribution Fighting between the subject and object dehuong to a purpose which is a form of violence, that is not yet achieve real-violent spirit-the absolute or pure form of real peace raised by the Buddha ) .

Buddhism spread-out population is suhien presence of the Buddha in each event going on (even if any one event) . For example, Tan-tra can help us get an action enough as very aggressive but behind it still hidden so discreet a desire that all things must be more transparency and clarity , but only as not enough khanang to the consistency that can be a source of good as he should have made ​​our hanhdong become aggressive (aggressive form reflects a deep truth a certain desire want things to be better, but only because there is no consistent thayduoc good source that should cause us to act aggressive and wrong. When you look at an aggressive we should also try to shop a desire that kindness hidden behind his or her actions) . Tan-tra seems reckless in that place: instead of extinguishing a fire, just shove them in there to burn us, but in fact there is a way to help us let go of all almost to mingle with the endless (the practice of Tan-out fear or dread nothing, they accept the long-suffering, fear, hatred, anger, ... but they swapped all things had become an unparalleled power to direct them into practice. anger such can create a terrible power but instead just let it burn, then please take advantage of the power was to turn it into his own determination and strength) .

However, it can also cause us to fear because we are afraid will not control it. Thenhung a most important teachings in the Buddhist teachings: it is no matter anything, also can let go. Letting go does not mean a letting go or a neglected, but in fact it can help us to achieve perfection.

Tan-tra is a form of challenge to our faith when confronted with the power of survival, Tan-tra is both encouraging and tells us more confident in the strength of the life. Rushing into glory. And if called rushing, then there is no need to hesitate anymore. Time to jump, jump, and just like that.

Tan-tra is a straight path to the icon

Tan-tra help us integrate into the world in every form of it, and especially to help us get rid of all the tension and conflict by training gives us direct access to the icons do not need must be based on a "reference" any (non reference - ie means that the symbols themselves do come true thanks to an attempt to force or an intermediate form - reference - at all. For example, consistent tuongden symbol of a god, the icon itself becomes the truth, ie the direct presence of the Deity's) .

So a symbol does not need to go through a "reference" mean?

It is a means of directly and no frills to help us integrate into the operation of the all tuongdung as they appear. Moon is not a symbol of the good based on the data (corpus) revolutionary theory should be analyzed to find out, there was the sound of ringing calls directly from the source of our a Morong direction of one in the world (eg, the moon symbolizes benevolence, and every time you look at the moon, it is not an occasion to remind us should play of lolong from, the moon is benevolence are manifest in the deep places of my heart to ringing call his own heart) . Icon nor is actually nothing more than a wide spread of beauty itself.

Icon wide spread its integrity in all possible forms, such as the icon known as chronic-momentum-la example. Man-momentum-la represents the shop can see the world in its homogeneous form. (chronic-momentum-la is a sound translation from Sanskrit term mandala, which means a circle, if understood broadly they can see it is a vote represents a space suthieng spiritual nature is both figurative and abstract way, as the basis for meditation aid or consulate that) .

Some examples of chronic-momentum-la

 

In our daily life perception, emotional as well as common thinking very discrete and misleading, sometimes very inconsistent. We think so, but how other; thinking it went back to thinking something else; think before then forgotten after. The purpose of the chronic-momentum-la is helping us enjoy the experience can feel released from a form that all merge together. For example, while walking between nature sometimes we feel can best form possible. We direct interoperability with all what is is like, from the wind in their ears to cool the steam permeates the flesh, from the green of the leaves to the heavy body of their own, an animal crossing went ... It is the experience of feeling reflected from chronic icon-momentum-la: and it is also helping us to integrate into the center of the world. Allowed to practice on chronic-momentum-la on here helps maintain the sense in all of our activities.

On the view that chronic-momentum-la contained a nature full and true poetic harmony, represents a most realistic world, and in the world in which each object is correlated with other objects and out through the power of our own existence in the world.

Tan-tra is a permitted practice sexual revolutionary?

Sodi Tan-tra mistaken as sexual revolutionary is because many scholars not reckless enough to penetrate the pure of Tan-out should have fallen into great confusion. Tan-tra is actually a method to follow the footsteps of the Buddha, the right way, and if you want to do it, we must first let go. All practitioners of Buddhism agree on a basic truth that can only really go back to yourself when was erased his ego, and if you want to do that, they must eliminate all forms of clinging to his own body and mind. If variable Tan-out into a bunch of techniques practiced in order to improve the enjoyment of their illness (ie sex) , there is indeed an insult to the sacred character of both Buddhism (sex is a form of road or a particular form of stimulus of the situation arising out of the same transmission. Rather than suffer the effects of the stimulus was the Tan-tra convert it into an image that represents a combination of compassion and wisdom to help in meditation) .

In the symbolically good Tan-out, the combination of a man and a woman the correct answer plays an important role. Icon reflects the combination of wisdom - the feminine - with the right activities and full of compassion - the masculine , and there is also a manifestation of emptiness, a format in which each of us must make for yourself.

Sexuality can be a context to help us access to experiences feel that (ie emptiness) , but there is also a real opportunity to make a move certain openness of letting go and not cling can flare up in my heart. Sex under the most intense form of it can make us blind and crazy, always incited us to run satisfaction. Conversely, if you know to free yourself from the sexual urge of it, will be able to stretch full of well-being tend to lead us into the open space of the world.

Tan-tra always looking thalong to sexual power to not let it turn into a stress disorder. Anyway, we should recognize that not everyone accomplish hienduoc thing, want to succeed, we must first understand the principles of truth in allowing subtle meditation, there is a way to help us achieve better trenday without causing any danger, and should also understand that training allows unrelated blind with pleasure, but in fact it is just a real Morong bold and thoroughly (a neutralize the pulse of sexuality) .

Tan-tra can play a role like this with Western thegioi day?

After reading through what I have presented all the schools of thought on this, you contain thehinh also be a choice as well as my determination in promoting and teaching Tan-tra. I believe that the Western world is in desperate need to Tan-out (not only the West but the East as well, we all need to find a really effective way to help her return to yourself) .

Tan-tra nose always work Buddhist sharp. Is by labor nose that Buddhism was carved phucduoc barbarian hordes represented by mistake, superstitious, violent and stubborn, hateful false faith as well as everything else to help the lotus of the heart can flourish. Contrary to what a large number of scholars often make, Tan-out was not a minor schools of thought, only reflect more or less formal way, and promotion of Tan-out is limited to in a few places, such as Tibet. In fact, Tan-tra is one of the most precious jewel in the teaching of the Buddha. Main through Tan-out that Buddhism spread throughout Asia. Borobudur temple, a massive structure built in the model of chronic-momentum-la on the island of Java (Indonesia / Indonesia), monuments Pagan ( Myanmar / Burma) and Angkor (Cambodia) is the evidence most.

A majority of Asian in Tan-out until the XIII century, and this century began receding around and today it only exists in a few places is limited.

But for the thoidai of us today, no matter how glorious it a go again, and that there is a "barbarian" (absurd, crazy, mercilessly) that are dominant. Tendency to turn all become identical, for example nhuchanh books globalization, for example, is one of the obvious evidence for the presence of aggression. This policy imposes people across the planet to eat wear the same clothes, listen to the same music, eat the same food industry by producing a huge amount of ...

Our world today is to uphold the values ​​of a certain truth, but the truth was in fact the only things that believe in a myth raises a the dead gioida. The myth that think and believe that life is simply a suvan mechanical revolutionary. It pushed people off the life! For the legend that is from the earth to a tree or an animal ..., all of which do not contain a true life at all, so just spoiled that destroy them or make them depending on their preferences.

A river no longer represents the existence of a country in its primitive integrity again, similar to what the poet Hölderlin previously praised (Friedrich Hölderlin, 1770-1843, is a competition trenches and the German philosopher had composed many poems praising the great rivers throughout Europe) . Today I Songda becomes a source of energy is measured by the number of kilowatt per second provided by hydroelectric dams. A forest for us is not an ideal place to play but a stockpile of wood and have to manage it as do we achieve the maximum harvest level. (also note forests in Europe I used to be a wild place Dade walks, excursions and fun but today people tend maintained solely for the purpose of assisting forest logging is more efficient) . The human body becomes a machine and just wait a little while longer, then all parts of the body can be replaced.

It is very hard to find a reason for living in its own right in a dead world (the world is busy, chaos and birth not in this count that the author said was dead, quathat on a dose field. contemplative gaze deeply and sophistication did quacung have different short-sighted view, crude, ignorant and full of worldly desires of the people) . It is not for no reason that today 27% of the European population to use sedatives and a large part of France to an average of three hours per day to watch TV (that's the response and help avoid forget the world crisis and the uncertainty in this direction. Yet French watch three giomoi TV on, still lost the Asian nation watching "movies" of South Korea, Hong Kong, China, all day to another day ... People increasingly highly matdi potential his most precious, it is the ability know and downs tugiup to think yourself back to yourself) .

Tan-tra is the most appropriate teachings given by the Buddha in order to cope with the situation. The words AZDates help us confront the difficulties caused by it and develop our existing capabilities. Tan-tra is the Buddha's teachings help to write poetry and to bring us into the wide open world full of competition, the negative effects of vowels and consonants, through the wide spread of colorful thousand colors. Tan-tra large symbolizes confidence, the burning of a third true thuongdich. Wherever echo echo of Tan-out, there will not be a hypocrite any longer can exist.

Indeed Tan-tra cause us to panic and always challenge us, but it would be essential because in this a few times when we have the chance to listen to a lecture in the field of religion raise the ethical precepts and the state where the act to follow. Indeed pain is pervasive, so also need to sound the drums of the truth that calls us all back with Dharma and should not hesitate.

We are too weak, blind and suffering, while their great intelligence does not lack, the profound desire always, and despair, increasingly large, there is reason by for see why Tan-out has become more essential than ever. Do not know how many centuries have passed in humans thenhung history never needs it proved absolutely necessary today.

What is Tibetan Buddhism?

Buddhism spread tulau life in most parts of Asia and has spread to China from early kynguyen, but it was not until the seventh century, Tibet began opening to receive this belief (the reason primarily for the delay is too rugged terrain of this country) .

But then Tibet is very active in the search for and gather books of the teachings of all the schools of thought exist in India.

Many Tibetans are not afraid of danger threatening beyond Hy-code-up-paint to India in search of the title master to study (more than ten centuries ago beyond Greece-maHy-m-particle-coating is a joint venture for the Pass over rugged mountains truth and often cause accidents, that's not to mention hunger, disease, wars robbing, etc.) . They learn to be allowed to practice and gathered a lot of books of every trend, and later persistence and translation efforts.

In summary Buddhist Western Tangda including and reflects all schools of thought, from ancient Buddhist to Buddha GiaoDai Thua, Tibetan and today represents one of the last places where Buddhism Tan-tra also save passed through the system and its most primitive. The brilliant success of Tibetan Buddhism today is a miracle. Indeed one can wonder why Buddhism's such a small country (also like the liberty to repeat Tibet although small in terms of population: including 5 million Tibetans and 1.5 million Chinese immigrants, but very large in terms of land area: 2,500,000 km ², or seven times greater than the area of Vietnam) to the forefront (in Europe) compared with the multitude of other school of Buddhism?

Over the course of history, some unexpected events have occurred between the XI and XIII century led to Buddhism disappeared in India, partly due to the invasion of the army of Islam. For events that Tibet has become a land of refuge for many different school of Buddhism. It is because of this that a lot of important texts preserved to date are translated into Tibet - the original Indian Buddhism has been lost.

Through the centuries of scholarly erudition as well as the Tibetan teacher has put all his mind to research and find out the coherence of the whole volume of the book giant trenday. They really are outstanding on the road, sort and organize your books into a coherent system extremely precise and transparent.

Moreover, they know how to bring the teachings of the Buddha to practice and have turned their country into a hotbed hunduc multitude of saints and enlightened people, although in the theche history of Tibet has proved extreme than in any other place. In summary Hola has outlined for us a very effective way.

In 1959 the Chinese invaded Tibet. A policy of genocide and cultural genocide has been made ​​to remove all remnants of history and tradition of this country. The Chinese burned nearly 95% monasteries, killed monks, exiled dissidents sent to work in the concentration camps ... It is estimated that more than a million and a half of the six million people were killed (the total number of deaths due to the war and later genocidal policies) . Some teachers escaped and reached the West. They carry out teaching what they had been inherited from their homeland and thus opened up a new era in the history of Buddhism. Courage and their devotion has changed the most divergent views of former West to Buddhism - if we nholai what that FOUCHER declared and has been cited in the first chapter of the book this - it can also be sure that they have created a miracle (liberty quote as follows: A. FOUCHER an eminent French scholar wrote in 1949 a book about the life of Buddha and predicted in this book as follows: "Except for a few special people curious alien like tamden things out, then Buddhism will only capture a little sotin the real country of us. "But in fact, only half a century later in France as well as in the Western world, Buddhism has become a modern religious truth, science, created a great reputation and a firm position in the society totally frustrated with his long-standing religious tradition) .

Dalai Lama is and he has played a role how to Buddhism?

Dalai Roman is not the pope of Buddhism. His honor is because he has created for himself and unrelated to His titles available. Indeed he well just settle a temporary leader (that means in the political realm, and in fact, he has officially abandoned this position on November 22, 2010, and this book has been previously published in 2008) of a small country that has been merged into China, and also knows the country and then this time will sink into oblivion in the hole of history.

The reason Dalai Lama Mada create yourself an illustrious prestige was due to his lifestyle and to promote Buddhist works which He has done, and also thanks to the goodwill of Him seeks dialogue with other Buddhist teachers are responsible for spreading the French all over the world, and least he had the courage to uphold the strong character of their faith to the challenge with all criticism, whether on aspect - the result it is a very rare event in the history of religion in general. Tibetan Buddhist willing to expand the dialogue with science and other religions of mankind, especially Catholic, there is strong evidence testifies to these things firsthand.

Boy Tenzin Gyatso chaodoi in the year 1935 in a modest peasant family was in a farm in the province of Amdo in eastern Tibet. Based on the long-standing practice, this boy is three years old has been officially recognized as one of the Dalai Lama. Three centuries of the Dalai Lama have alternately ruled Tibet, a country with an area five times larger than France, but the population is less than ten times.

Chinese invasion broke the long time quiet in his homeland. In 1949, China under Mao who got troops into Tibet in the name is to liberate this country. But Tibetan people just see them as enemies. Chinese soldiers use violence cruel. They want Tibetans believe that China's communist civilization and this gives them a social scene out of the old-fashioned beliefs and long life, and will instead by glowing progress Glow of humanity. But really sick dread, the Tibetan people themselves to resist. They just want to preserve the customs, traditions, languages ​​and beliefs only. China failed to ideological guise went back to using violence, they went to burn down the temples, killing of the people and least hunt the monks to murder (in 1959 100,000 Tibetan monks and 6,000 temples, in 1990 only 400 survived monks and 30 temples roof - references in the "Atlas of the World 's Religions", editor Ninian Smart, publisher Calmann & King, London, 1999 ) . A terrible genocidal plan was launched and killed a sixth of the population of Tibet nearly a million people (this is the number of deaths during a war, this number continues to increase then in the camps and in the new economic zones) .

Because threatening threatened Dalai Lama had to flee to refuge in India.

Here waiting while everyone claims indignation against his enemies are cracking down on the country, or at least it is also the promise of revenge, the Dalai Lama re-read a speech harmony love and uphold the policy of peace. To confront hatred he did not respond with hatred. As a religious leader he always keep behavior in line with their beliefs!

His message always reminds people to extend compassion, and that is what has led many Westerners have relented because that is exactly what they are lacking, and most have forcing them to respect a non-belief dieu.Duc Dalai Lama did not ask anyone to Buddhism, that just reminded Honen know more loving and interested in the happiness of all everybody. His teachings are aimed to teach people to do as do we to be able to do it, and it is thereby achieved many great accomplishments.
