BUDDHA IN MIND:THE KEY TO OPEN THE DOOR OF BUDDHA.

Although Buddhist studies in many books, how many proceedings of điểnđi, also could not understand Buddhism, if not clearly to be: at the Center.

"The old days, in a Kingdom of faith there is a King of the new age starts to go in search of the truth. He summoned all the monks and nuns in the country, and ordered them to go looking for all these books, the classics taught in terms of the way the rescue, brought back to the Palace. After a few years, the monks and nuns had gathered a large book store tens of books written in enough languages, Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, Japanese, and even Vietnamese-South ... The King could not read all of the books that should be sent to the monks were keenly aware of the ethical choices for him several important book, of making him lick on happy relief. A few years later, the steady rise to some fundamental reason the Buddha taught, along with a few Scriptures out of Scraps, which they believe was critical of Buddhism. "my oh my, at the time, the King was very ill and then, he no longer đủsức holding up a book. He just left a request to cast the essence of Buddhism into a sentence or a letter, so that he may be saved up to side edge. After intensive consultation discussions, the high elevation rising together to write a letter, and the ascent to the King. The King thều thào read: "Mind", and turn off the respirator with a satisfied smile ... "

In fact, this is a familiar fairy tale that I have her permission to swap the last word in Mind. The swap is surely a deliberate intention, that is ... learning the Buddha in many books, chant as many classics, also could not understand Buddhism, if not clearly be the Buddha at the Center.

For me, the "Buddha in Mind" is a short story contained the essence of the Buddhist framework, need to ponder long day (or ômấp in my heart as a kōan Meditation) to understand okay, then suddenly found things were clear, and the Sun during the day.

But understand so well don't be in a hurry for that he had food poisoning. Yet, it is just the unfolding of a door to enter the vast world of Dao. Understand the "Buddha in Mind" is one thing, achievement was "Mindis Buddha, other =", and to cultivate the mind very long lifetime, which has yet to be finally achieved.

The mind is all, all in the mind, all From the Center out

In the Dhammapada (Dhammapada) in the Pali Tripiṭaka, the classic is a popular book, bright, casual, is considered the most faithful reflection of the Buddha, the statements have emphasized the role of the mind (citta):

"Tam leads the all; mind is the subject; Center for all artifacts ".(Dh.)

My Old Mausoleum (Lankavatara) in the Australian classic, also: "Buddha says About the French doors, the door is Not".

But the mind is? That question is not a question of philosophy, a question that haunts many people and also echoes past offer many generations: "We are?" Mind is, rather than where. Is the "we" temporarily, the "ta" embraces and arises out of the fuselage, and export, Italy. Mind made up all of the people as well as the results. Each person due to the mind itself creates the karma (kamma), should be responsible for what he did. Dhammapada has:

"The only bad thing triggers it yourself, do it yourself UE its stigma,
Remove bad thing yourself, do it yourself her purity.
Purity or the stigma of unclean spirits are subject to you,
No one is making anyone purity. "(Dh. 165)

Mind including all, even "line, episode, kill," is also in mind. Because if there is no mind, then do that "Suffering" (dukkha) (stone, the moon where no line), do have "Episodes", meaning that the taking in the huge courtyard (si) Center forhuman, rather than any other place. And of course if there is no "Line", where there is a need to "Kill" that also does not need to "Dao" to read more.

Sectarian Consciousness (Vijnanavada) of Royal Excess has gone further, with the notion that all this phenomenon is due to the mind consciousness that people (including seven formula and A back da clock). But other than the passive attitude of the idealist philosophy of Western Consciousness, advocates a positive attitude by training the mind through Yoga, meditation (hence also known as the Yogacara), in order to reach enlightenment.

Buddha at the Center, the Center for Buddhist news

The first purpose of the Buddhist monasteries, monks or occupancy (two lifestyle, rather than the path), the master of the mind .

By adhering to the law (sila), the fuselage gun, each one trying to keep the mind pure, does not oscillate, intermittently, to be able to (samadhi) is the Center for peace, stillness. To determine the consciousness of themselves as a decisive stage, a critical stage that the Buddha must also recognize that the "book" is the only road (ekayano maggo) sent to the rescue. He has a flock of a detailed method of contemplationin the Satipatthana (Satipatthana-sutta) is one of the most popular book in the original Buddhism. The word "book" includes the text "kim" above and the word "heart" at the bottom, so the notion of implied meaning " mind to present".

Maintain an intention , that is the difficult thing is not a one way early, but the results will go hand in hand with the attempt of each person, i.e. will bring peace, happily in the soul. Eradicate the negative psychology such as delusion, hot anger, confusion, doubt, developed positive psychology as a compassionate discharge Hy, always retain the discernment and make the mind itself, which is the significant achievements on the path of moral luck.

But the aim of Buddhism even further. The purpose of Buddhism is to reach enlightenment, go to where the intellectual property Uncivil (panna), i.e. to make manifest the Buddha beforehis place is available, the human pathogen As Lai (tathagatha-garbha) just wait the other day chờmột in each. That's a message full of hope and the spirit of equality, that over 2500 years of Buddha Like Ca, a human, has given to humanity: "I am he, ye are the Buddhas will become".

So, all those who find themselves in the Buddha as well as the "turtle fur, rabbit-horns". In the story of meditation has many stories about search Center, for Buddhists:

He Favored Resistance, after the hand, standing on the snow Hit the Portuguese Organization pleads for Security Code Any mind . Group reply: "Putting the heart into this one for security. -You do not know the mind where. --So we have an interest to thee! " Hear that sentence, he Favored To suddenly show up.

When Professor Hui Hai to Matsu For consultations Organized Code, Administrators asked: "did you come here looking for something? -To the Dharma. -The treasure of his house, and the exchange rate, to remove the run away to find something? -The treasure? -The treasure of thy House, full of đủtất both the deprivation, free to use, what to look for. " Listen, Mr. Hui Hai he also be a family identity .

When recognized as a name , then the new news that "Mind is Buddha," and "a stayfull of all, ancient remains in purity", but due to the suspension, perforated in the si field polluted by the idea of hope, so as the Sun was cloud obscures how not to be shed. Once enlightened, is no longer the principal duality of space, good/bad, in/opaque, etc, and even what we also no longer. Mind no longer, nor did. The reality, not (sunyata), or Feet As (tathata), was given away by intuition, beyond any words, logos. That is also the achievements of the human integration with a possible universe. By the mind , the Visual representation of the finite cover to soak.

No matter where He also himself

Such a judgment, the Buddhist monk who properly must always return to the heartof his deep, to not be the feelings, the hopes, the imagine butt wiggle to entice away to the outside world.

But usually less courageous volunteers who are going into his inner self, his opposite, in quiet solitude. Few people believe in their own strength, the ability to self help, but that the Buddha before destruction the President has recommended the disciples:

--"You are the Islands for yourself! Do not go in search of a shelter outside! Let's take the Forensics Chief as the island, taking the truth to shelter. Do not take any other refuge. " (Australian business Nirvana, Maha-Paranibbana sutta)

People often need to rely on tha power, on the external power. First are the teacherswho lead, telling her, for not being perverted astray. Of course the role of teachers is important, whatever the guru, teacher or roshi, they are the ones who have gone before, that was the only way and continue directions for the next generation. The game master can be very profound, and can be determined for the food poisoning of people. But that's just the game master, best. Master g's position is just go ahead and go after this, absolutely not the boundaries of the enlightenment. Enlightenment or not only alone knew. In the Dhammapada that sentence: "you have to try it yourself, schools of Theravada Buddhism is just the master directions" (Dh. 277). Even the schools of Buddhism also just masters the directions, that expressed the spirit of equality and self-reliance of Buddhism. Furthermore, competent teachers who knew coastal options adapted the only up to the basic level of the pupil, and at the same time to the student freely self-development retrieved, and discover his path.

Your refuge Monday that people often rely on the classics, books.Classics, books is where people expect to find French works, hear the words of Buddha Tara, monks in the past. But the vast sutras such as the forest and the sea, of being burned away, writings, translations, editing in the process of development of Buddhism, has become too dense surface for Hampshire, who studied the Buddha himself would hardly managed in that sea. Moreover, the Buddha has warned his disciples: "what we get here is just the index finger the Moon, do not let your fingers be the Moon". So, are considered classics, books such as which means no more no less, and try to use his wisdom to discern things or bad things, it is worth, it's obsolete, it's essence, frivolous thing framework. And always remember that it's important in Buddhism is not science, that is the issue. That position is not the intellectual property rights, but that the two are related to each other. Where is the understanding by reason, logic, words, symbols, whereas intellectual property rights (panna) is a thorough, complete, intuitive, beyond words, symbols. And intellectual property rights could not have been otherwise available to, i.e. back to look into the mind of his. All eventually returned to consciousness...

In addition, it is also often seek the assistance of the tha groupsuch as the supernatural, occult powers (or was it considered occult, supernatural), and called upon that strength to help themselves. That's all the ritual, celebration, vái beg, the shelftowards the Buddha, Bodhisattva, God, as the external entity, has the right to act on his fate. In fact, the proper understanding of Buddhism would never have such a conception is: under the law on causation, no one besides yourself can save himself, only to have their new vớtđược survey, recently freed himself. And when you ask, though not for himself but for his family, though not yet more money, fame which is more the result, blessed, it is inevitably increased the good fork . But also accept the ego , how to be freed?

, When a Buddhist monk the first prostration, urgent altar, burn incense, chanting the ring, adjustable wrenches, then truth emergency ngườiđó the prostration of the Buddha, Bodhisattva within ourselves. When reciting the title of Buddha Like Ca, we remember teachers instructed mankind enlightened path and headed into the depths of mind to call the names of Buddha in yourself. When the German titles in celebration of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, you arouse compassion in themselves, and the voluntary listening to the suffering of the world like him.

In fact, in Buddhism figurines, the symbolism, the Buddha did not hear the pleas, not seeing the prostrate, not need the trees, flowers on the altar. Because the main Buddha ởtrong mind . Heaven or hell, reincarnation or Nirvana, the Western World Is Extreme or She Lost is also in mind.

Saying so doesn't mean that one must reject all rituals, or defy the emergency component. Trust(saddha), the urgent establishment of Buddhism is the intense power, capable of great help for the Buddhists, especially in these difficult hours. But belief in Buddhism is not the faith not the dock, not the condition of the religion of God revelation. Such is the trust others place, where the lead to himself until his own experiments are the directions. Eventually the trust that will be temporarily replaced by firm confidence brought about by personal experience.

As such, the Buddhist monks have to understand that every time you prostrate themselves, towards the spiritual strength inside ourselves, rather than towards the mystical powers in heaven and the sea beyond. And if his strength is pleas outside but the truth is that the power inside, self-reliance and tha power in fact is there different from each other?

A road, much of the media

Teachings of the Buddha are more spiritual cultivation methods, appropriate to the need, mood and the basic of every person. But in the end all of them toward a central point is the "ballooning" (attention), that the Buddha called "the only road" (ekayano maggo). One can see that path as "the heart of the France", in the midst of all the blood vessels in the body of Dhamma. In the bowl of the Chief Justice ", mindfulness holds a place of utmost importance. Thanks to mindfulness, the new master is his mind, keep the mind NET security and fighting are suffering misery. In Memory Of (Satipatthana sutta), the Buddha has the flock in a clear method of contemplation in the Group 4 theme is body, Mind, Life and France. Such is the basics of meditation, is short, most directly to come to the rescue. Following this Meditation also out of sight, not out of a substance, the lowest the shelves appear after he Favored: "Pagan TV special, up inscriptions, only human consciousness, the names of the Buddha" (Up there own tradition, not based inscriptions, Just straight to the heart, See names of the Buddha).

But if the path is a, then also in means oftransport, such as the chariot or the various (yana). Because there are many different muscles, a computer center, which should appear many different mediums, but the same goes on a path. During the development of Buddhism, many schools (vada) appeared, and more or less blended with the indigenous culture, Buddhism has become rich and varied in form and in content. One gets the feeling there are many differences between the Original Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, pure land Buddhism, Tone, Degree Affiliate, etc. that Sees that when asked what's in common between the casual setting, the quiet of a Hall and Sesame acts setting, of a Tibetan Temple?

The answer can be as simple, if take the mind as the center point. Browse all nấy Buddha, liberation of the mind . Also all the form just means, the crafty goodness means(upaya-kausalya) helps people to mind between the soul, temptations, doubts emerged on the practice. The means by which the intellectual landscape, Bell, adjustable wrenches, Indian drums, Gong (mudra), mantra (mantra), images (mandala), chanting, mantras, Buddha, etc all the means which are capable of very strong impact on the psychology ofhumans, and can help a lot in practice. Even in Zen Buddhism also when used in vehicles, such as the project (koan), or strong impacts caused in the international meets before Lam (Rinzai), or the Presence of Mobile shelves (Soto), Zen master Dogen dispatched Soto advocates "just sitting" (shikantaza) is enough.

Select a vehicle or a vehicle is subject to computer centers, each person's body. No schools would better or higher schools. Only appropriate or not for each person, the only.

Looked at that way, no longer any reason to criticize each other between the Buddhist sect: primitive, An Overpaid, Vajrayana, Zen, pure land Buddhism, Max ... The mind is the sociable at all, is the meeting place of all those who go in search of enlightenment moksha, at every horizon and time.

To conclude, if we see Buddhism has a somewhat complicated, cumbersome and confusing, you should bring out enlighten by the "Buddha in mind", then all things will become bright and casual.

Simplicity as well as two later of the Dhammapada:

"Don't do evil, The achievements, Keep in mind the purity, He lettered Word for Buddhist teaching. " (Dh. 183)
