The basic tenets to understand the Heart Sutra.       
            

Heart Sutra did not use the doctrine to all the negative things and phenomena in other words, is both the world and living beings. As this is not how to apply, the commentary on the Heart Sutra


We can say Buddhism is just a philosophy, and as a religion, is both an education system.
As a philosophical foundation for the ideology of this philosophy can overturn any notion of ideological philosophies from the East to the West, death ancient times the basic concepts of dance the universe and human agency.
As a religion because it has given humans a part of religious belief and intense deep to cultivate a better life.
As an education for all of the thoughts, teachings, Buddhist texts work to educate people to live to fine leg, with compassion and wisdom to bring happiness and peace to his and for everyone.
Ideology and doctrine of Buddhism is very much mentioned all things and phenomena in the world and living beings. Here we take a look at some fundamental issues related to the following ideas when studying Prajna Heart Sutra. Of course the teachings of Buddhism there are many other key areas need to be addressed when going into the specific content of the Heart Sutra.
1. On the concept of space and time in Buddhism:
+ First of all, talk about space : the Buddhist concept of space is infinite, without beginning and without end, no beginning, no end. The people today are living in a time in which the Earth is a planet in the solar system system. With the current science, the scientists are investigating only those satellites and planets in this system as the moon, Mars, Venus ... not outside our solar system system. But Buddhism is that we humans live in a small world that our solar system is only a part. Buddhism that's a thousand little world together into a State natural world , a thousand calamities State into a world where China natural world , a world where thousands of Chinese disaster into a disaster the world.  Such a disaster the world including 1,000 million small world, the world that is a small percentage that we live. Saha world of Shakyamuni Buddha is the natural world in a multitude of the heavenly world, many can not tell it all. Pure Land of Buddha Amitabha ago ten thousand memories (10 billion) Buddha land. If you go by the speed of light, (300,000 km / sec) must be 150 light years away. Thus, the Buddhist concept space is infinite, without beginning and without end, the vast immensity. Earth where humans are only a tiny grain of sand in the Ganges countless grains of sand of the countless worlds in the universe.

 


+ About time: Buddhist conception of time is without beginning and without end, no beginning and no end. Let that man live for more than a 100 years. In fact, according to the document of the United Nations in 2010, the average life of man in the world is 71 years, is one of Vietnam's 75 years in Thailand is 69.3 years, Japan's 83 years, the Philippines is 72.3 years so ... it's the time of human life is just so short compared to the time series of the infinite life. If a day's time living gods on earth God was viewed by 100 of our human life, the time on the other buddhafields much larger. Flower Adornment Sutra in volume of poetry, said that a life in the realm of Sakyamuni Saha with a day and night in the Pure Land of Amida Buddha. According to the Infinite Life Sutra in countless lives of countless lives too long distant past of the Buddha's performance at the World United Auto Tathagata preached morality. There was a king called So Many, after listening to the Buddha Worldly Kingdom Independence Tathagata preached enlightenment and immediately renounce the throne and followed the Buddha to take the name is French and has a Tibetan Buddhist, is effective Amitabha a way today is a period of increasing life. With this concept, 16 million 800 thousand years is a lifetime sub, 20 sub-1 life by the life, the life 4 (a, office, damage, no) by an eons, eons is a 10 140 eons (10 aeons powers 140).
So in the realm of time are different. In the folk tale of the woodcutter ax , being told that a woodcutter in the forest to cut wood. So tired he left the ax under a tree, a walk and gradually go deeper into the forest. He suddenly saw two old people playing chess sitting under a tree, next to a small hut. He woodcutter like chess and beat very well. He stood watching the two old men playing chess, two invited him to sit down specific beat. Of course he accepted the invitation, sat down and began the military. Mark's been a while, yet inconclusive, he suddenly remembered the pile of wood, so need to sell early, lest delay. As to the edge of the forest to find the trees and saw the handle of the ax has been rotten. On their return home, that have changed the landscape. After a long time searched for his family, he knew that their parents and grandparents, and his wife has been dead for a hundred years! One other folk tale has it that two guys Liu Shen and Zhao who Diem Nguyen Khe, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Doan Ngo's more, the Tiantai Mountain picking tobacco, first met two women and stay. In half a year in the mountains, Luu Nguyen please come home. Go to where the earth had passed away seven people. Later, the two returned to the Tendai not find any more traces. Scientists have now also talk about the different theories of time. That's relativity.
So, in terms of time, Buddhism that human life for hundreds of years despite long as only a moment. Moment is the smallest measurement of time Buddhism it is only a fingernail or strummed like a sigh. And such a date string in a life lived on earth in the shape a sustainable human body human flesh is actually very short compared with the whole of her life in the past and their future. And real life is so short, and time is without beginning and without end, no beginning and no end.
2. Theory birth or origination Coast :

In doing all of the business's Central Coast A-levels, he taught: "Who is understand the causes and conditions of which will see the director." 
If we carefully pondered, would see the source of the coast up to the Bat-elegant spirit later.
There are causes and conditions arising out of Prajna system, but also the causes and conditions of this arises out glaring origination system. In the Flower Adornment Sutra says: "All measures on the contact time interlaced with each other, one layer on the other, it is causal or dependent arising, dependent origination".
Buddhist notion that all things on earth and in the universe were created by the conditions that the. Who Buddhist studies also knows that the essence of Buddhism only focus at this point. That's origination, also known as the dependent arising or dependent arising. The Buddha's teaching is not obsolete. From more than two thousand five hundred years now, the Buddha's teachings are the truth, the truth. For example, the Buddha way predestined by birth, doctors today are one of this? All the success and failures are due to the fruit. Staff will be better good results are successful, the result is bad is bad defeat. It is undeniable truth. As there are two bean, a seed on the table, a buried seeds moist. Due to soil moisture conditions, bean sprout, and then conditioned by cultivating farmer's care, due to charm with water and sun the sun, the trees mature bean, flowering results. Also on the table bean does not have enough moisture as soil, water, sun and take care not to become trees and flowering results. Everything in existence is conditioned by creating: A notebook that I write is so much grace as to form the fiber plant being brought on by human hands, in the form of technologies, including knowledge of the light create, machinery, electricity, water, heat and seo new out pulp into paper, followed by closing the notebook. If none of the above conditions is not a notebook. The house, too, if the fate of the detached house as bricks, sand, stone, steel, wood, cement, and the craftsmen who designed the house failed. Humans, too, are human by blood conditions such as fine father and mother into the consciousness of the pregnancy and should be nourished by the four elements through food, water, warmth and breath of the mother. When growing up, aging disease dies, family disintegration of elements, not the people anymore. Thus, all of what we see are not present itself, it does not mean that self, which are due to the grace of creation, when no more grace, it does not exist anymore.

All these examples are just the first layer of conditions. The second class, for example, he was asked to do the carpenter that wood, planed, cut, nail where there? If asked to make paper materials come from that, they have to consider many new conditions constitute the primary fiber crops, have many newly formed coast papermaking machine. And considering that the relationship with the same message the same message, can not say which of the two routes are. So-called identical duplicate origination. Already a glaring origination is between us and everyone, all things are interconnected.
Humans have clothing, to food, travel, traffic, they have to contact many people do these things out. In this world, everything is relative, or human beings in general are correlated, so people who are also in debt all together, everyone has their own merits. So people are not separated. Because that is the same origination duplicate contact, so the Bodhisattva mind, everyone is his benefactor.
 
3. Anatta (no self):
Because everything is so interdependent, including humans, should not have the charm that they no longer match the one (down) again. So all is not self (not self). Selflessness is not only manifest in human beings in that in all things and the law. For it is the sentient human self , for the animals and the law is selfless approach.
Or more broadly human beings are generally not known how many of the newly formed coastal people. People are born, grow up, illness and death, does not exist anymore. The human body does not create itself, which can not be so refined self-blood father and mother and be united consciousness raised and nurtured die, die, so we do not exist anymore. So say humans are selfless beings. That is the self .
I see a bowl of rice to eat, it is insubstantial, meaning that if there is not enough conditions such as clay, human engineering, machinery, and skilled hands cleverly painted clay, fire in the furnace, etc. ... unable to bowl. The bowl itself is never a lasting and permanent, so it can not be free, it's selfless approach . Anything in life that we can have a very tangible object itself down because it does not own other conditions which must be due to the form. therefore the world of things and beings can not be free, means are selfless.
4. Impermanence:
Also the animals and humans and the world at large beings are subject to continuous changes over time in every moment, every other hour, every day is different, never standing still, not do not ever change. It is probably very common.
The reality of the moment seconds before, is not the reality of the moment seconds later. People of ourselves today is not one of yesterday, nor is it tomorrow. A man a few years ago was a child, grew up to be nurtured, to study, disseminate knowledge are becoming scientists, the elderly, the sick, slow feet, blurred vision, that is always changes in impermanence. It means that particular person are constantly changing over time under the law of birth death old disease . Today and tomorrow have different, even people that vary from moment one. It is probably impermanent , called human cloning often .
Everything in this world, too, are also subject to change over time. The historic buildings magnificent centuries ago also suffered over the years transformed itself will either be broken or war-torn or buried deep underground. The objects we use everyday from clothing, to sitting at the table, to eat rice bowl is also under the rule change does not damage the cylinder and change that is not permanent. All are subject to the impermanence of things, or the law called the law of impermanence .
Thus the world and all beings are governed by rules might change called impermanence
5. Theory The Not in Bat Nha Tam Business :
Just to clarify, all things in the world which includes, living beings, humans, are selfless , ie there is no self, no self and do not last forever. It is not, no it is not no different there. Prajna School implemented on two kinds of reasoning was selfless, selfless news about people, about things selflessness, and arguments very often that established theories are not . It is the dominant ideology in the Heart Sutra.
Having predestined by birth, so the whole world and all human beings and can not do, in other words, there is no self, that is not their own, are all fake friendship , are selfless , all are not and are subject to the laws of that change very often . not have to understand here is insubstantial , that the self can not be the object of all things, is not here is not contrary to any. But with the non- emptiness of it, it's quiet in the wrists for. Buddhist term that is not called the most elegant Shun , ie transcribed word sunyata , services and called Emptiness .
Understanding the teachings are not new, there may temporarily have a relatively clear concept of Prajna. Directive concept alone, there actually are, they must cultivate the new evidence. .
Other trim Buddhist teachings in a god with this point. And who has assumed causal laws origination or can not acknowledge a creator more light. The person on the form, whether Buddhist or not Buddhist, was also at the level of Buddhist thought then. Conversely, there is a prospect, but not thoroughly interdependent, cyclic law, it is just a disguised pagan. That said, in order to emphasize the leading role, the role of reason requisite causal, or interdependent, cyclic law in the entire Buddhist teachings. No origination, not Buddhist, nor Prajna is not Mahayana, as confirmed immediately in the opening sentence.
When admitted origination of course have to admit two implications associated with the origination, which is selflessness and impermanence . Forums are usually very effective because it causes the pain. And then of course selflessness event itself is not. No, it must be repeated, is insubstantial. From what he saw and heard, for the consciousness to think, all of them even though they have no self exists before mat.Vi example if clouds do not have the steam to evaporate, do have if rain clouds have no cold conditions, or what to do with wave pools, river beach if there is no water in the air and no wind. All that it can not free itself but due to the grace that the reassembled. As such, it is not, there is no self.
It is a matter of not in Buddhism. Teachers that are not derived from? Position it in the teachings of Buddha like? That's what research is needed, there may be a temporary new concept is relatively clear of Wisdom. The concept alone, And in fact happen, there must be evidence monk.
Heart Sutra used the theory of non- negative for all things and phenomena in other words, is both the world and living beings. Emptiness is applied, how the interpretation of the Heart Sutra Experience in the lower part will interpret specific.
But Needless to say, the above only presents the basic teachings of Buddhism to demonstrate the Heart Sutra commentary, not to mention possible all the teachings of Buddhism. To go into teaching some other, most likely will be presented in understanding the content of the Heart Sutra.
