TBuddhist follower, the words "prayer," "seek" or "aspired" to be synonymous with the term "pràrthanà" (Sanskrit) or "patthanà" (Pali). Pràrthanà is derived from the root "pra + arth" means the desire, desire, expectation, beg.

The meaning of prayer
In Buddhism, the words "prayer," "seek" or "aspired" to be synonymous with the term "pràrthanà" (Sanskrit) or "patthanà" (Pali). Pràrthanà is derived from the root "pra + arth" means the desire, desire, expectation, beg.

Pray, pray or wish is a psychological state desire that something will be done, there will be accomplishments or take place according to the intention of the person expected. It reflects an attitude of looking forward to an event that took place as of the creature.

According to Buddhism, depending on the object and purpose of the Covenant, prayer can become a psychological state "take part" that aim to include produced about yourself, your family, your loved ones, or a psychological state "altruistic" look forward to others, being assigned to the interests, peace and happiness. In other words, a body of the prayer is neutral in terms of ethics. The ethical nature of prayer be defined good or bad depending on its target as well as its consequences for the object to be expecting.

If the desire of prayer towards investment, proprietary, for what it is and what it owns, the prayers in this case is a greed, synonymous with craving (vuccati patthanà., Mahà works Nidesa. 316-37). In other words, wishing bad things for the selfless goal, proprietary, then prayer will mean or nature of greed (patthana lakkha.no lobho, Nettippakara.na, p. 27). In contrast to the conventional air rain, farmers, land of peace and the end of the war the world is expecting the "good" (kusala) due to the target's altruistic desires. Here, the prayer for the well-being and happiness of others, look forward to fun and well-being to the human society, there is absolutely no shadow of selfless, Compendium produced about yourself. One such wishes are wishes, the Chief Justice and is friendly.

Praying the prayer of the upper and lower high
As just outlined, the ethical nature of prayer will be phânđịnh depending on the ideas or desires of the person praying. If the object and the target of desire was assigned to the good and the bad, the prayer or well wishes, which are classified into two categories: low and high.

The inferior prayer is happy to wish those nefarious things, what is harmful for human populations, society, what goes against the interests of the majority. Mộtước want to kill people (although the enemy), plundered the property of another person, the other person spouse chiếmđoạt, scams someone verbally etc are the lowly desires on ethics. The prayer for the war to happen, for other people to be killed, disease, spreads his defeat, for the benefit of LOC misdeed, unlawful for himself, his family, his family, his community, his country and society and so are all the prayers or wishes contrary to moral development sựphát itself and the communityso is the desire or prayer. There are many bad prayer has become curses, supposed ẻo, digitally, to hurt other people. Have prayer reflects the attitude xẻn popcorn, selfless, and does not depend on the wedding banquet with the success and happiness of others. All such wishes are lowly, and does not have the value đạođức.

High contrast, prayer derived from plate egolessness, vịtha, from love regardless of gender, social class, irrespective of the relative, friend or foe, just because of the benefits, welfare and happily for others and so that's the prayer or wish good and ethical. The desire for the end of the war, no longer the scene of blood spilled, police no longer harmful to man, animals and the environment; the desire for happy couples of the durable khácđược, dissociate, differentiation becomes reunited, linked to each other; the desire for people to have steady jobs, no one sacked labor and property of anyone, people love, reassurance and help each other etc is nhữngước like it or pray nobility, and moral values.

According to the word of Buddha, there are many causes that lead to the desire or prayer high and lowly. In my talks about the seeds of the mind in the Chi (A. V. 213) the Buddha gave a ten cause leading to the desire and prayer. Ten causes are:

1. misconception,
2. wrong thinking,
3. verbal mistakes,
4. deed,
5. set up illegal businesses,
6. misguided effort,
7. consider mistakes,
8. meditation mistakes,
9. false knowledge,
10. freedom to make mistakes.

Ten cause this fact originated deep from the listed mistake. The "perspective" is the chủnão of perception and action. A wrong perception when the action becomes harmful to morality and welfare of others.

For example when someone wrong perception that murder, of robbery, unlawful sexual intercourse, lying to cheat people, drinking, smoking and eating a luxury player, is not harmful or not contrary to the basic ethical principles of human society, then make sure that that person is not the evil nhữngước have bad want, harm humanity and society but also can have any donation, to bring about a benefit for themselves. In this case, people pray or have inferior wishes will defy the law, making things illegal, harmful for social morals. Therefore, to stop the prayers or the evil desires that, before most and now more than ever, we should grow quanđiểm feet (sammà-di.t.thi). In other words the primary foot perspective is the focal point of all ethical behaviour benefit for yourself and humanity. Also in the main article on Buddha, presented 10 reasons củaước want or tall prayer, that is:

1. primary legs concept,
2. primary legs thinking,
3. primary foot words,
4. primary foot behavior,
5. business districts, legs
6. foot effort works,
7. attention primary leg,
8. meditation Assoc. legs,
9. primary foot knowledge,
10. freestyle legs of the Chief Justice.

Primary Tripod concept is considered as the lead element of the nine types of primary foot rest. According to the word of Buddha, the view is the primary legs of people and things in light of the principle of pratītyasamutpāda or relative, there is no one cause of initial, engenders the vivid characters. Such a conception is completely empties the trust a rating of a creator son HA engenders, the universe therefore embrace ethical payoff balance. People have the perception primary leg will master myself, not than Sun responsible for land on the suffering objectively, as well aware that its cause is the Act of greed, anger, delusion and craving in the present life or in the past. Foot works have also been seen in other aspects of his life is a State of happiness and peace due to the absence of completely the physical suffering. To achieve this peace, can not ask a spirit Board-flat or buy with money, fame, dignitaries, there developed the remaining nine foot thing works (as stated ởtrên) new help for us to have peaceful and truly happy and stable.

In summary if ten ties are the cause, was the catalyst, which is lead, source of the expectation or wish lowly then 10 feet in the Chief Justice's reasons to the contrary, bring in results at peace and happiness for himself and who, this life and the hereafter. The disciple of the Buddha in particular, and who yearn to ethical progress should generally grows 10 feet Chief đểsống happily in her lifetime.

The concept of Super bridge and bridge
Buddhist ethics are not concerned with pure desire. Buddhist ethics chủtrương action. Although in many Buddhist scriptures teach about how to how to achieve peace and happiness in your life, as well as how tu tậpđể being on the world of the Buddha, the concept of "Super bridge and bridge" does not reflect on the things that can cause that Buddhism is the leader of prayers and conjure, depending on tha.

In terms of etymology, the concept of "security bridge" and "super" appears in the Buddhist world. "Security" means "pray to someone who is healthy and at peace," while "super" means "the bridge to the Super chếtđược, being on the world of Buddha in China."

So the bridge is the desire, ambition for healthy, peaceful and happy. It is not limited to, the demand for the sick person healthy soon, through accident, as many have misunderstood. To be healthy, the ears through the accident off and the inner, according to the Buddha's each one to cultivate the intellectual life of Germany and sốngđạo, promoting the everyday benefits, help people, life, mindfulness and awareness in each moment of the present. No nostalgic hope vềquá past to rid the world of experience grief. No nostalgic expectations about the future to not anxiety and fears. A life, even in current tạiđể carving prepared all take priority in life. The living are so then always "an" always healthy, happy well, don't need to pray and yearn also. On the contrary, if we were to let go of lung, sa fallen, neglected so far, not doing the thing, instead falling into the path of sin, no matter how much prayer nor can an OK. In the spirit of that, to avoid misunderstandings, the litany of security should be changed to "economic peace."

The Super bridge as the aspirations or desires someone to be pass or the birth of the world Buddhist schools. Therefore, the word "super" might be short forms of the word "super" or "super beings" or more fully "Super Net birth rate." So the Super bridge as the aspirations and desires aimed mainly the deceased. In Buddhist countries North of the tribe due to the influence of the pure land traditions, Resolution was read the eulogy at the funeral and a subdermal giổ is usually doing A-di-da, Its Organs and Yu-lan. Chanting A-di-da mainly referred to the dead French Buddhist mantras recalled his meditation "for any mental disorder" as a prerequisite to being a guest here, Max, to various Buddhist mantras which Princess incense that there are contentious. Chanting Its Organs on the one hand aims to revise the Germany of the dutiful-slaps, on the other hand promote and practice the land (location = centres).

When chanting this, descendants of people too there are occasions to learn about tastes and also have the opportunity to cultivate the mind Tanh to mature. Read my Vu-lan to mirror his special fondness newspaper Items-hopea-contact. In general the business article on not only work well for the deceased but above all as a aims to educate bereaved relatives of people killed on the practices and largesse. According to Buddhism, nobody can Super for anyone. No one can get to anybody. The prayer is the icon, showing plate glass business and know the grace for the deceased, and in other aspects in order to prompt for the deceased knew about the rule being that death no longer worldly attachment, dễdàng or reborn. Therefore, to avoid misunderstandings, the term "litany of Super" should change to "Super speed" or "pass."

In short, to be the health and peace, according to Buddhism, we must practice the German, working, living, dining, sleeping weather, an head on so far, mindfulness and the awakening as the motto of my life. Investors can then so the peace will present as my companion in my life. Similarly, for each person, to equip yourself with the ethical baggage while still healthy, so when a impermanent to, blindly down the hand of industry, we will lead ourselves reborn about Bourn good or there being about the realm of the Buddha in China. here, there were no elements of tha. It all depends on the life ethics, intelligence and attitude of ours.

Prayer and results
In Buddhism, prayer or desire whatever the morality and nobility also has very limited value, in the range of the will, rather than expressing cụthể in action. Buddhist ethics thus exalted ethical behaviour doctrine has the intention (cetana) as the Foundation of the successful and satisfied in life. In other words, prayers or wishes though nice to go without action hayứng applications become useless. The theory of Buddhist ethics behavior based on this has played an important role in the life of human ethics. Buddhist ethics don't teach us to live with the desires or such prayers, teach specific methods to transform desires beautiful feet high and trởthành.

In the spirit of the action is important, the desire is dependent, Buddhism taught us to live with a confident attitude and the đạođức of ourselves in bringing happy and satisfied in life. Once you understand the ethical causation of the Buddha, which means that no one is holding the weight of life, in addition to the improvement of our evil acts, the Buddha tửkhông take time to pray or desire to spend more time with this.

If God could not help them in any good if any of them, then try to ask how they can help us. God and God if there also do not live beyond cause and effect rule like charm. Therefore, the Buddhists did not expect anything to fool into a power real truth of God, God, my mom being MOM, Germany, Germany she so the Buddhist sense deeply that, once created the evil karma, despite conjure, we too must be reaping the results of it. No one can pour this lifelong rule. Here is a passage clearly shows that:

"If anybody is doing 10 evil karma, and then a large mass to the invocation conjure, the hope that he will be being in good fun. The invocation is so useless. Do 10 evil karma must fall into an origin. The can as one person toss a rock into a Lake, and then more people to an emergency bridge conjure for tảngđá are emerging. The invocation is so useless. Because of the rock, with the weight of it, unable to rise, not drifting ashore as pleas. Also, create 10 evil karma they must fall into an origin ".

Here the word of Buddha in order to identify that evil behavior and real good is the cause of the suffering, but who created it have to suffer in his lifetime, though so far or later. Home jewelry and prayer in this case has no values at all. Because, if the prayer which results then make sure those millionaires, billionaires on this world are the people who are super beings, are all guilty for, because of their silver sea forest funds launched in the religious prayers.

According to the Buddha is the causation judge sentenced suffering for people who create bad karma and evil rewarded happy for his salary. Vịthẩm this ruling cannot be the form of bribing world impact, black to white, so guilty, as in the case of the law of life. The judge of the cause and effect very justly, accurately and not mistaken while ruling the newspaper industry acts in good faith.

In terms of prayer or desire, the Buddha also stated that prayer of charity without the efforts made in good faith also become useless and no results at all. In the beautiful prayers, often people yearn for her would have the health, life expectancy, has a good reputation, the fragrance, there is beauty, there are happy and so the Buddha asserts that these things are impossible because such desire or prayer that there was This: "the taste, there are five things here can not do pray or desire that has been:

1. the lifespan (àyu),
2. beauty (va.n.na),
3. happiness (sukha),
4. the reputation (yasa) and
5. contentious realms of Heaven (sagga).

That is according to the Buddha, would like to have your health we have to live tiếtđộ, meditation, not sa tea liquor no shades up,-books, diligence, and sleeping. Want one must know Beauty Wellness, food diet, rest, work, moderation, etc want to have happy life we have to do, give up evil, legal compliance, life for the good of themselves and others. Want to have the reputation we must diligently study, work hard, live that conscience, ethics, commitment, integrity, fairness, high bar, generous giúpđỡ other people and do many things well. Want to bring forth the Sun it must overhaul staff tíchđức, 10 pure almond development, meditation, alms donation and do more charity work. Generally all the stuff that can't do praying or wishing that there was. Here, we see that the moral action is the motto of a life lived happily and peacefully according to Buddhism.

Buddhist texts also specifies that a life of peace, happiness and Liberation is not a consequence of the heightened desire that is the result of efforts to cultivate morality, meditation and wisdom: "a man does not focus in the practice, although it has run up a desire to be freed from the omission or, no longer accept, given his desire to not be satisfied "

In other words the desire for beautiful prayers or contrary to the principle of causation is the only alarm fatigue wear of waiting, useless and unnecessary, and sometimes bring the boredom and frustration:

Milking the cows horns place
Search the oil where sand has water
The oil will also not work.

The Enlightenment, liberation, or the Prime witness in Buddhism is the quảcủa process and practice, tight gas impurities, contraband or. The eradicated impurities source of Nirvana, of the result Invisible upper Bodhi. But that is not the consequence of prayer or of Salvation: "wanted to show was Infinitely superior Bodhi without paragraph except Suicide, other such Explicit Administrator would like to cook the rice, although the city wants Sandy spent thousand of memories from the past nor be any achievements."

In the process towards the liberation of all practitioners, The Phậtđã declared that He only plays the role of the Ethics Counsel, could not be declared to us the results. So to reach the truth is, we have to rescue practitioners practice, such as the shelf below, the Buddha advised:

"Give diligence hone,
As Lai only theory taught.
Self maintained meditation,
Self rescue evil karma "

The practice on the basis of the effort itself is the Buddha booked solid for the main building with the United States, this awakening will flourish, negativity Karma eliminated except:

"Do it yourself,
The essential need to fold,
Except for UE profile: purity.
Sees the sacred Buddhist schools ".

And the Buddha also noted us, not from him, not from the redeeming grace of God, not by anyone, which is mainly due to the self-cultivation of us lead us to enlightenment. Thus, the enlightenment then firmly:

"Not relying on others,
That achieve Nirvana,
By itself, turns to self,
That purpose to solidly ".

Therefore, the Buddhist when mastering the principle of cause and effect Karma report is the exact payoff balance, fairness, should not hard-Juana mongđợi jewelry, disappointed. On the contrary when done any good, they become impassible, rational, not waiting for the results, because they know for sure that good results will come, not quickly then. Two anonymous verse here shows a belief that primary footer:

Khai held real flowers favors
Into all future self

Translates as:

Workplace relations ao no wait moon stars
When the pond water moon stars so far!

In short, prayer is very limited in the life of the German sốngđạo of the Buddhist. The Buddhist in the proper spirit of Buddhism is that people act in good faith, rather than people who just know the ambition. The action of good moral life decisions rather than the sincere wish or prayer.

Pray, pray and helpfulness
In Buddhism there is overcapacity out of two concepts related to prayer is "pray" and "helpfulness" or "helpfulness." The two concepts contain loads of very high moral sense and have the lifestyle trởthành Buddhists traditionally Northern tribe or out of sight.

In many cases such as we witnessed in my life, pray often reflect the psychological attitude to demand or expect the benefits or happiness for themselves, their family, their country. Despite the wishes or desires, it is also often revolve around the us, because it is one, though the big nhỏhay. It may be more of a selfless, in his most inmost soul. It is common to pray for their loved ones, rather than at least one thinking of the good things to pray for his enemies, for the batoka who harm themselves. This limited to psychological Tháiđộ relatives, who are doing well for themselves, who have an interest to yourself has become the habit and practice of many beings.

The Bo-slaps of Buddhism is different. He is no longer perceived attitude up the cost on the user profile. For him, all beings are loved by generations of progeny from the past in the past. We had parents, brothers, friends, relatives, spouses of each other in the long chain of invisible beings. Bereaved relatives of love and kind could not discourage him. The compassion he has super crossed the Belgian border, one person, relatives, enemies, but also spread to other animals and vegetation, insects. A love so boundless urged him not to soon witness a prime leader result loads upper Bodhi to salvation are suffering beings in the three realms.

DAO Li Bo-slapped taught the Buddhist wisdom and compassion extended to everyone and every species. Once embarks on the road to Bo-slaps, the Buddhist front for right know "play." The mind consists of 2 steps: before the play of mind of enlightenment as Buddha and Bo-slapped (bodhi mind) is to sauđó the mind of beings. Play the heart of beings is the "play" of the learner follow Bo-slapped. Play the mind of enlightenment is a process of self-cultivation, self. Play the heart of beings and the process of taking advantage of the excuse, and saving humanity. Portuguese almond-slaps self cover and the forgiveness, contained the full and happy people.

In addition, the Buddhists have to know feedback towards the German practice to all beings in the three realms of the six directions. If the mind of enlightenment and the birth of prayer is the noble martyrs hearts, for mercy being the helpfulness of Germany is a concrete expression of the enlightened hearts and flung it. That is the Buddhist practice is not for yourself but for the people, the fruits of enlightenment and the German public is not for himself, but also san rips all the beings. Share of such merit is made his mind of enlightenment, make love become Super crossed, time and space.

In other words, the Buddhist moral understanding of the Buddha sẽkhông and pray with "narrow" useful for yourself, your family, your country, but above all, must know the "expand" vow to play hearts, geared to the interests of others and all cảchúng of birth; for the specific activity, enlightenment and person. Vịkỷ and emotional limitations of the "prayer" was the "Chapel" instead. Playing Chapel to enlightenment. Helpfulness of prayer developed in Germany for humanity and beings is the excuse. This is the two characteristics that completely replace the prayers and desires is the term.

There is nothing pretty high for using when the Buddhist do any charity whatsoever not only for yourself, because you, but also for others, because other people and broadly as all beings. His career as well as the biggest target of the Buddhist is directed to the enlightened beings ourselves. The helpfulness and the Germany of the Buddhist nor outside the target sight ngộtrọn, meaning together austerities and the Buddha:

Prayer brings this merit
Towards all over all
Ðệ suicide and being
Completely under his gracious direction as the Buddha.

The conclusion
So, the moral of the Buddhist is not located in the đạođức behavior for themselves, that is for human society and the animals. The goal of ethics is spacious so clearly could not arise from the desire, which is derived from the word awareness enlightenment, action taking advantage of tha cụthể, to all of us and being together every step towards and achievement conđường and direct result of enlightenment, permanently transcend suffering.

This is the most fundamental difference and, most importantly, between Buddhism and other religions, not only about the meaning of prayer but also altruistic nature ởtính, egolessness in ethical behavior and good faith of the Buddhists practice Portuguese almond Street-slaps: play the mind of enlightenment, Chapel độsanh, practice your German and helpfulness that merit to King, Costa pointed to enlightenment for themselves, and all beings.
