Paramita
"Be active for the welfare of others." - Sutta Nipata.
C ó ten noble virtues surpassed called secular parami (Paramita) [1], which are bodhisattvas practice round adequate to attain supreme Buddha (Samma SamBuddha).
Muoi Ba legal La Password is: Giving (Dana), Precepts (Sila), Monks (Nekkhamma), Wisdom (Panna), Diligence (viriya), patience (khanti), True (Sacca), Decision Making (Adhitthana ), Metta (Metta) and long range (upekkhà).
According to the explanation in the Cariya Pitaka, stained Paramita not selfish, not watered wrong and implications conceit. Paramita guided by wisdom and compassion cultivated because of the deficit.
Bodhisattva Action of absolute selflessness. With countless virtues of compassion, boundless charity, through many lifetimes, and his relentless efforts to raise living standards and morale of those poor poor, help for people in thousands way, and alleviate suffering of all beings.
A bodhisattva not think of an interesting effect Serenity while his friend was in the ring of sorrows. To somewhat alleviate the suffering of humanity and Bodhisattvas are willing to sacrifice all of the most precious possessions, their lives to be, unfortunately not.
Jataka story in "Vyaghri Jataka "is an example.
Bodhisattva Although never do anything that does not think ahead, and he is always happy to create peace and happiness for all, do not forget to do a little beings. Heart full of compassion, but the balance is always assigned his mind. And while in service, he did not wish for a force or a material benefit to the world. When action worthy fame naturally, no need to run it. Bodhisattva totally selfless, always live for others, not when you think to yourself. There is no point of selfishness, pettiness oil go further, within a Bodhisattva.
Economics Dhammapada (Dp) is the sentence:
"Let the laity and monks think the main thing we have done to it. During every job, big oil, small oil, let them mention it. Aspirations It's crazy. Thinking Thus, the ambition and conceit will grow. "A Bodhisattva when there is no selfish thoughts and so narrow-minded. [2]
1. Giving (Dana)
of giving, or generosity, are Paramita first practitioner while performing two karma achievements are: to eliminate the selfish thoughts, evil, and developing ideas selfless, pure. Giving is a joy, a blessing for both the giver, and the head life.
Bodhisattva no wonder that people learn the things you want, or give any privilege, there are shortages in what that is. Him for the things that do not run themselves to. His generosity for generosity but also to kill time any longer latent sexuality in mind. Joy of serving others naturally. Alleviate the suffering of beings is happiness by giving alms.
Affection of a true bodhisattva is immense. His compassion poured out for all creatures. But when alms, do not close your eyes to sweep him. Generosity to charity does not become blind. If an alcoholic is renowned for his help and he knows for sure who will receive this gift to be used in an inappropriate manner, the bodhisattva will not hesitate to reject. Put the generosity of a wrong action is not Paramita (parami).
When helping a legitimate reason, the Bodhisattva does not seem important route expressed pride or vanity; contrary, that it is a valuable opportunity to do his duty should be willing and happy to serve others humbly. He never saw her one more reason that people ask themselves. When help, he does not see it as mercy, is not considered a gift of his life to have his help. Bodhisattvas do something just because it's the right thing, did not find fame, unexpected rewards.
Bodhisattva not miss a chance to serve others, but do not stoop to ask favors. Brahma Jataka Jataka (No. 323) to report that there is a Bodhisattva religious life in the castle's garden flexibility. King visited daily and provides all the supplies, but anyway the king can not see all of his needs. Sandals and tattered umbrella of the Bodhisattva has damaged the twelve years that king or not. He did not open his lips. One day the king. First though modest gestures such strange, King asked him why? He replied:
"Sire, who prayed that would not be sad, because the people who are not able to help, the more grief."
Bodhisattva for the unspeakable, irrespective of caste , race or religion, but never expect others to return. One of his characteristics is complete contentment. Poet Edward Dyer praised her virtue in a few lines:
"Some people are still so many that desire,Kanha Jataka Jataka (No. 440) has recorded that one day, sun king Sakka heard a Bodhisattva title it is a model, there are many virtuous king was impressed sun dress, white respectfully ask him to tell may need more food offerings to the king. Bodhisattva fun it would be accomplishment four wishes:
but I have little feel enough
is them "poor", although the amount of forest, silver tank.
And I'm "rich", but empty pockets.
1. I wish no anger, no malice or troubles with neighbors;Hearing that, although very impressed, Sakka king of heaven to my dismay, he would choose to add something else to the king offerings. Bodhisattva replied:
2. I do not desire to desire possession of a neighbor;
3. I do not wish anyone own sexuality;
4. I wish equanimity.
"No matter where I live that deep forest, where I was alone, let me be healthy. because ill will disturb the quiet life and disrupt sophisticated my meditation. "
King Sakka sky thinking: "It is not false rumors. Bodhisattva Kanha is indeed wise, rather than the desire to satisfy physical needs, he only needed to choose life virtuous life. "
third time Sakka the heavenly King Bodhisattva please select a different item to what offerings. Bodhisattva replied: "O Prince Majesty, I have a desire to add more. Regardless of where not a single being hurt my body, not a living being hurt my mind, that is the word my prayer. "
generosity of a Bodhisattva is not the same. He gives out all: wealth, property, career. He can give the throne, the monarch, an arm, a leg, until his wife, and son. To life, he did not hesitate to devote to create happiness for mankind.
Vessantara Jataka Jataka (No. 547) with art that Vessantara prince, when he was eight years old, there was honestly think that:
"If a other day who need our hearts, we will manually chest surgery, moi heart out. If someone needs to take the eye, we will hook courtesy eyes. If someone needs my flesh, and I will hand cut a piece of meat to give. "
Jataka Jataka Vyaghri also admired recounted a story of a prince and happily willing to sacrifice his life to bring happiness to others.
During Jatakamala, the story is narrated that:
"One day, a Bodhisattva, a forest pass it along to the disciple. He sees a tiger mother with three cubs are nearly starving swooning. Cave compassion, who told disciples to go find food for tigers., but is an excuse to be left alone with the tiger because he thought:
'Why do we have to go find a live body, when food was available to do dishes food for tigers. Looking elsewhere food is a blessing that, moreover, we can not miss a good chance to do duty.
"this impure body itself is the source of much suffering, how much unhappiness. If we keep holding on tightly to it and if you do not know how to use it to serve others, then it is not wise at all. In life there are only two reasons to make people indifferent before the suffering of others. It is heart lesbian, bind beings to the pleasures, to hold on to personal happiness, fear of losing it, is a reason to make us indifferent to the suffering of others. Lack of charity, lack the will to help others is another reason. But we can not happily while others suffer. What day does not help those who suffer, that day can not enjoy my happiness. So how can we unmoved by the sight of dying of hunger and tigers tiger mother this child.
"If we jump into the abyss for a prey for tigers is at least one body was also used in this miserable a useful job. feed tiger mother I will avoid it from doing evil is eaten it, and also prevent other innocent little offspring have died from the clutches of their mother.
"Furthermore, Such actions have also mentioned a good example for anyone still desires for what is good, in this life. I sacrifice this body to save four lives, to comfort and encourage those little weak, to please those who penetrate the profound meaning of charity and creating ideal for those who want to live life virtuous life. So, this is the rare opportunity to step up to the level once fully enlightened. "
Think so closely Bodhisattva throw myself into the abyss, sacrificed their lives for the good of the four original tiger dying.
According Nevari ( Nepala Basha), and the tragic tale worthy meaningful exciting narrated as follows:
"In ancient times there was a king named other Maharattha majestic and powerful mind to direct heat. Prince Sultan's three Prashada Maha, Maha Maha Deva and Sattva, all three are gentle and docile.
A beautiful morning it, the king and the three princes walking in the forest. Much worried look and bewitching landscape with exotic fragrant grass, three more princes to go deep into the forest.
Quan absent servant found three princes dock with the king. The King immediately commanded the finding, and dwell in supply prices.
March prince until a mountain to the other. Standing on a rock, looking down, saw a brother and five tiger cubs in the abyss. Both mother and baby are just skin and bones, lying barely alive. For several days after giving birth, the mother tiger could not find food. Breastfeeding mothers tigers in to the edit button, but the dry breast nothing left to feed. Tiger mother seems hungry, clearly you're going to eat meat.
Persons brother found her tragic situation, just for the children and said: "They look pitiful spectacle of another mind, they have she did not see a tiger? Because too hungry so it is going to eat you for supporting labor. Such a miserable state. "
Maha Sattva asked him: "Tiger eating animals more often?" He said that raw meat dish of tiger and lion.
Maha Deva noted that the tiger mother he seemed exhausted, it certainly has a long fasting. Would anyone dare to sacrifice his life for it, you know what. But anybody to do the job please Noble.
Maha Prashada said: "Surely no one can do it."
With an emotion, Maha Sattva continued: "I was young, certainly not enough mind, so I think the least mind as we probably can not sacrifice his life to save people., but also full of people living compassion for others. Such persons may kindly devote themselves to save the life this Friday. "
Three brothers and discussion so go elsewhere.
Maha Sattva thought: "I have to sacrifice to save the life threatening tigers this. mental elements, which we take this is just a pile of pollution has caused me much sorrow, how many sick, handicapped. Yet now that we can marinate flowers, oiled it beautiful, fragrant, but then one day it fishy breath and will disintegrate. "
He went ahead to tell his two brothers slowly breathtaking scenic character. Wait a second he walked away, he hurried back to the tiger lying undressed tree branch hanging up and thought: "I must positively act for the welfare of others. Should spread kindness to all beings . Serving those who need to have a big task. sacrifices I make this impure body panels to save lives for tiger mother and five children. Due to this worthy action, we would expect that the time step to the senses fully realized, that saving sentient beings from samsara suffering. desire all beings peace and happiness! "
User spiritual center selfless service, Sattva Prince Maha gently throwing himself into the pit , located near the tigers. But the prince is not dead, only wounded. Other Tiger, oil and aggressive temperament, and pity the bodhisattva, could not bear to touch his feet. Bodhisattva think tiger was too weak to afford to feed their animals. He was crawling to find an instrument to commit suicide. Fortunately, near where the tiger is a piece of bamboo tank. He then picked her private bamboo to die. Lying in a pool of his blood falls. Tiger thirsty and hungry, time to go see it, licking the blood puddle and tear Bodhisattva find out, delicious food. Minutes remaining only be raised from a pile of bones.
Bodhisattva It added that while suicide to dedicate themselves to the tiger, moving heaven and earth, the sea water to churn, the sun suddenly became dark, the landscape becomes dim, all gods to ring in unison: "Good place! Protestant instead!", and from the air, cotton Parijata fell like rain.
before extraordinary spectacle of the heavens and the earth, the two people he was sure that his brother had donated themselves prey to a tiger then.
Both times he went back to find them and get appalled by horrific scenes. Where is the silhouette of the person you love. Only the white bones of red blood, besides tigers belly. Near the rocks, the trees, the Maha clothes Sattva is the wind stream.
Both princes stomach aches painful, miserable and mourn sadly returned with his father answered.
Precisely at that time Bodhisattva body dose save tigers, queen sleeping in the supply cabinet. She dreamed that one of his teeth fall suddenly and painfully sore heard is like someone with a knife according to flesh out each piece. Looking out the window, saw the queen from the air, an eagle landed, cream the one of the three beautiful pigeon is perched on the roof and others away.
taken as horror queen, awake, I still remember the three steps in the forest lost. She hurried to find the king narrated thinnest point.
soon and then be taken to a private data. Tragic story is narrated. They all moved and weeping unspeakable.
comfort king and queen elephant procession took two princes suffering is not out of the woods. Meet father, choked two princes did not say a word. Finally, try compression lap, the two turn to tell his father and all the brave people who hear the death of the noble children.
prepared horse king ordered the elephant to the queen and to promote tourist places history. Just saw bones are stained with red blood, the king and queen fell unconscious. Implies hustle bring emergency medications. A long time the king and queen slowly woke up. The king gathered hair, bones and clothing to stay in place, and to stand before the beloved son admire. All his men also to show devotion to the noble hero.
king ordered the construction of a stupa inlaid spot gold to worship Bodhisattva dedicated himself to save the tiger. The king and queen leave, heart like knives.
Later relic stupa worship of Maha Bodhisattva Sattva is called "Om Namo Buddha."
Jataka Book narrates further that the present stupa was called "Namura" (sound Om Namo Buddha referred to the word, meaning revered Buddha).
recounts two stories differ but oil Bodhisattva dedicated himself to save the tiger is the priest or prince, then it's just physical appearance. The important point is the great sacrifices and selfless contained entirely within.
Traditionally, the book Jataka (Jataka) a copy of which has yet to know what the Buddha opportunity repeat sex. Sanskrit it is called Nidana opportunity (excuse causes of volume), the two stories above are Nidana.
characters in the story is not confirmed in the last paragraph of the article as another Jataka.
Nevari Jakarta Books indeed seem fuller Sanskrit version "Jatakamala" but the root causes of economic Nevara not sure.
Regarding as a bodhisattva Paramita of Giving, with passages "Carija Pitaka" explained that:
Every time Bo Slapped real gift for someone, He wished him a long life, with beauty, peace and happiness, healthy, wise and noble is attained Nirvana. For the thirsty, give him drink for drink wish that this was not the solution to the thirst of the physical body but also reduces thirst desire. Board of clothes with him for he aspired to shame and horror of sin. When walking to help him pay means a life of prayer will cultivate the mental energy. Gives incense, his hope of life management threshold will enjoy the fragrance of virtue (Sila). Ban oil and flowers, he notes receiving volunteer who will enjoy the fame of virtuous life as the Buddha. Helping one seat, he vows to get him the foundation of enlightenment. Helping shelter, he would he would be helpless for the whole world. Help light, his uncle is willing recipient in the eye of meat vision, wisdom eyes, Eye, eye of a Buddha, and thorough knowledge of thousands of legal truth.
Alms "Lust" and Bodhisattvas people are willing to pay to receive with aura as the Buddha, "Thinh", are words like elegant gentle word Brahma; "Scoop", which can be elegant and refined as perfect Buddha, and to help medical assistance to anyone and Bodhisattvas wish for him to live forever, that his enlightenment Nirvana.
Bodhisattva break shackles, freeing the slaves in the hope of freeing human beings also, at the same Likewise, out of the shackles of so many passions.
Bodhisattva da ly cut charity, abandoned his beloved child to expand her paternal charming to all beings. He gave up his wife to do all the time, leaving the throne to inherit the kingdom of justice, fairness, and ethics.
paragraph of above not only shows how the altruistic attitude of the bodhisattva but also to tell the ongoing efforts of the nonprofit and for his service to humanity. However, the ultimate goal of becoming a Buddhist bodhisattva, and He will never forget that the ultimate goal.
2. Precepts (Sila)
About (Sila) in extraordinary generosity of a Bodhisattva. The word "Sila" in Sanskrit means the rule. About includes the obligation to make (caritta) and don'ts (varitta).

And Professor Rhys Davids adds:
"We can also say that people who live in a family or in a village located along the Thames River basin is equally blessed today, because it was (UK) original doctrines taught compassion between people and the Buddha's life was imbued with family, society, and the basis for a solid moral foundation. doctrine was still apparent, adequate and appropriate for the UK today, as ever, was appropriate for the Indians.

* Devise shows the path to the realm of peace and happiness.
Besides her duties, the Bodhisattva should also try to avoid the things not to do (Varita Sila), his pair of rules to live an ideal life of true devout Buddhist.
Upon reasoning clearly and correctly how is the law of cause and effect. Bodhisattva try to stay away all the wicked evil perverted and paddle do all the good they can do. He realized that his duty is to become a source of happiness for all and never to embarrass a living being, human or animal oil.
Everybody respected his life. No one has the right to steal someone else's life, widely Bodhisattva kindness to all beings, until the small creature crawling beneath, and when not to hurt or kill a living creature. Humans have an inherent lust incited killing other creatures to eat meat without mercy. Sometimes recreational killing time. Oil to feed the network itself or to find fun, no financial reason to kill a living soul worthy or otherwise killed for a living soul. There are methods cruel, disgusting, also the method that is called humanity, to killing. But as suffering beings have a lack of compassion. Killing an animal has an Unjust action, let alone kill a human, even though several reasons have been cited, called righteousness, sometimes called noble, to massacre people kill people .
Bodhisattvas avoid theft, no matter what form, directly or indirectly. In doing so, the transparent bar virtues, honesty and uprightness can be grown detrimental to human dignity, and make every effort to keep himself completely clean.
Him not lie, do not say Crude gruffly holes, does not say what this man can do for another person shall disturb, do not say those words in vain. You just say the words ethereal courteous, honest, easy rubbing, words can bring other circumstances harmony, peace and happiness status, and useful words.
Bodhisattva non-food expenditures are toxic or can make wise spiritual loss. On the contrary, he always exercise the mind remain, the position is clear.
Though there have been marginalized way, Bodhisattvas not to chase to commit to a year of basic principles to control his actions and words. To keep the year round, not just when the Bodhisattva sacrificed property, career, but he also has some cases threatening sacrifices.
should not be mistaken for that of the cycle, a Bodhisattva must completely clean. Has incarnated as human beings in the world, he also has weaknesses and mistakes. Several stories in the Jataka (Jataka) as Kanavera Jataka (No. 318) has described it as a bodhisattva robbers extremely dangerous. However, it is a rare case, more than the norm.
regard to the Bodhisattva who has aspirations to become a Buddha, then work seriously precepts clean is extremely important. Sila Vimamsa Jataka Jataka (No. 362) have recounted the Bodhisattva, like this:
"Wisdom is something outside the moral wisdom not of value."In the book Visuddhi Magga (Purity), Germany Buddhaghosa wrote that the law is the foundation of all virtues:
Directed legitimacy to strengthen;3. Monks (Nekkhamma)
Living noble, more noble by.
should be page one story of virtue.
few who is mighty to describe it.
Nor deep long long line of

changed to higher authority on payment by:
Tao is the source blessing.
Tao is the source of confusion to destroy property. [3]
Monks, or away from the city prosperous life and physical pleasure, is what bodhisattvas all your heart desires, because of his temperament is preferred quiet, quiet.
The word means Nekkhamma rejected worldly pleasures in order to get the full lives of monks. Nekkhamma also means temporary pass from the law the way Nirvana cover (Nivarana) experimentally by Zen story (Jhanas).
During the action, a bodhisattva is never selfish and never dedicated to public ownership for their own, but always altruistic. He never sacrifices his own happiness to make peace plight of others.
Though sometimes, to help people to surface facilities, Bodhisattvas can live happily and fully equipped, but always He was not the infatuation of fleeting pleasures of the world.
"Family life is like lair of how the dispute, how tough, quarrels, as much of the container based deprivation, how needs, such as shelter of suffering affliction many things, how many failures, many left the heart., but the lives of people who really love the cut glass skin self sauntered in, such as the blue profound . "
Recognizing that lavish physical and magical illusion material pleasures do not make true happiness, Bodhisattva voluntarily leave the industry all over the world to put on yellow plate and try to live completely in the clear . His voluntary round precepts and keep improving efforts to sheer virtue to become completely selfless in all activities. Nothing could shake his lap. Reputation, career, wealth situation is only glorious treasures of earth can not make Bodhisattva forgotten his frugal lifestyle.
did when, as in the Jataka stories Jataka Makhadeva (number 9), only a gray rabbit well enough Bodhisattva reminder, make him give up the bustling atmosphere, impure, of palaces, to live lonely and solitary life countless times more convenient for the evolution on the path to enlightenment. Sometimes a dew drop on the grass in the dawn, when a bitter leaves, enough for him to wake up.
Much as it is a common practice, but not all bodhisattvas are executive Monks Paramita.
Jakarta Kusa Jataka (No. 531) is Specifications story of a Bodhisattva subjected to humiliation because no self-love tame a beautiful princess named Pabhavati.
Darimukha Jataka Jataka (No. 378) is a technology that Single Awareness Buddha (Buddha Pacceka) a day, having a Bodhisattva and that this is your position before her. Single Awareness Buddha and Bodhisattva closer advised:
"The pleasures of sensuality is like the small mud, steam, dust.'s all temporary, unsustainable, because it stems from greed, hatred and delusion . I recommend you give it away. "
Bodhisattva replied,
"I'm crazy. pleasures of the world have instilled, deep in the bone marrow. I know that the material is extremely disgusting , scary, should be avoided. But this noble son of man, I'm loving it and can not give up. I can only try to do something is always voluntary service to others. "
If Portugal not to slap the term life of the Buddha, he will find himself deserted place to live celibacy of the clergy nobility. If born in the tenure of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas on their self-discipline to live life completely clean. A monk is exemplary life, a Bhikkhu ideal, is a source of happiness for themselves and a blessing to others. Everyone can learn from him, follow his example and practice the golden words that he taught. Inside, he made himself the clear, outer, and he makes others pure.
A Bodhisattva always diligently cultivate wisdom, and he also found himself obliged to help those who also faltering, and gives them the opportunity to learn to become wise. Do not bother anyone, do not want anyone to worry because his weight, and he lived like bees, nectar of flowers, but do not hurt the life of the flowers. He abandoned all his career, wealth, do not hold onto a piece of earthly cost. Demand is a true monk at oi. How many of his assets consist of mere happiness contentment.
bhikkhu practicing unquestioning regret the mistakes of the past and fear of anxiety for the future. You just live in the present, living out the responsibilities and distractions of social life, the family, he is always ready to go no matter where they are born to serve, but not attached somewhere. In the scene where impermanence of earthly temporary, in the ups and downs of it all, he always keeps the mind calm and willing to dedicate themselves to help those who need it. But never wished for gratitude.
innocence, single, arbitrarily hardship, poverty, simplicity, selfless service, courtesy and elegance are some characteristics of true monk .
monks are not beg people often mistakenly understood as life, although Sanskrit "Bhikkhu" means "beggar". A monk is not the mediator between humans and the divine omniscience, omnipotence, and not on behalf of, the right to dominate a human character. "Mendicant monk" is probably the closest definition of the word "Bhikkhu."
Today, when using the word "bhikkhu", it implies that the Buddhist monks. Clergy of other religions are called Paribbajaka, Ajivaka, Sanyasin etc. .. About the Sangha law does not allow him head monk life all things that people give to yourself. If someone offered, I only got four regular requisites are: medical, food, shelter, and medicine. When you need to use one of four dishes "widgets" that no one was coming to her, he only allowed monk asked the relatives, or the benefactor who has promised and had asked him to know when you need to. Lay monk can not ask him to convey the spirit of prayer, because in Buddhism, there is no power above and outside any human can receive through the invocation of a religious intermediary officer, to bless or absolution.
monks are not required to keep the monastic prayer life. About his death arbitrarily close to the rules applying to live pure lives of the monks, until the day continue to Huon, also voluntarily stepped out of the Sangha. But the day was wearing saffron robes, symbolic word Arhat, a respectable level (Ung offered), then you have a duty to monks hold morality round. Every day I no longer felt strong enough to live noble lives, Huon monk may continue at any moment that the door does not tarnish meditation.
Hills with Bhikkhus, there are four felonies: sexual act, theft, murder and boasted he had to meet the law's higher but its really not. The breach was one of the four major instant offense is no longer a monk again (any public office). For example, there are any, have not attained the freezer Huon boasted that he had attained (Wednesday), immediately he is no longer a monk again, and expelled from the Sangha.
Apart four felony that, if the monk any other offense, they must repent.
To live a clean and totally selfless, to control and keep always pure heart, to see clearly the truth of things, to have the right ideas and the depth to be able to develop and noble dignity of human beings, to be able to fully confirm the dignity of noble spirit, there is no more appropriate way of life, not What lifestyle also means giving more and more favorable opportunities are life monk.
bhikkhu may live in a quiet, secluded, tranquil, quiet, or active in social activities . Lifestyle solitude, quiet, ideally suited to the monk.
Y Yellow symbolizes purity and modesty. When monks dressed in saffron robes himself, he aims to take the ultimate goal is to eradicate craving to attain Nirvana stroll through.
should also note that the monk life or in other words, a waiver the pleasures and desires of the worldly life is only a means to achieve effective goals.
Emergence Date, by itself, is not a cure.
4. Wisdom (Panna)
Wisdom (Panna) accompanied by Monks.
Paramita Wisdom is clear understanding and proper, thorough understanding of the truth of things through the light of the three characteristics: impermanence, suffering and selflessness. Bodhisattva often reflect on her three characteristics, but does not go into topics such as word Arhat, because His purpose is not to stroll through the Four Holy toward stroll through Supreme, supreme Buddha.
Wear Oil is always trying to reach the holy wisdom, bodhisattvas despise not the understanding of life and constant learning to care whether anyone, big oil and small, high and low, to humble. Never brag that far out of sight of his wide, but he is not shy to say in public what we do not know. He never said jacket. Bodhisattvas are always willing to teach others. His wisdom is common possession of all. He never sign anyone anything.
Intellectual three categories:
1. Wisdom arises by listening to the teachings of others (sutamaya panna, Van Hue) is the first kind. Formerly, no books, printing, school should mean teaching him to listen and memorize it by heart. Hence the scholars of that time called "bahussuta", who had heard much (multicultural).Only the first two methods to expand knowledge within the logic of the world. Through meditation, one can experience the intuitive truths beyond the scope of reason. Bhavana, meditation, or a way to cultivate the mind, not the negative mood that dreaming is a dynamic effort and positive. Through meditation one can transcend the material realm, put yourself into the discipline of life, body and mind controlling the quantity itself, its self-enlightenment and became completely lucid. Meditation is a tonic for the heart and mind.
2. The second way of understanding the inference arises, "cintamaya panna" From Hue. The nature of scientific knowledge of how the West was the product of this way of understanding.
3. The third way to become enlightened wisdom is opened by meditation practice (bhavanamaya panna, Hue Tu).
intelligence is extremely important factors in Buddhism. In the Eightfold Path, Right Understanding (Samma-Ditthi) head. Wisdom is one of seven people born fruit Bodhi (Dhamma Vicaya Sambojjhanga). Wisdom is one of four capacity for successful autologous Memberships (Vimansa Iddhipada, four experimental evidence kabbalah: education, anniversary, attacks, wisdom). Wisdom is a spirit in force (Pannabala, Brain Power), and one in the control center (Pannindriya, Knowledge Base.)
is through wisdom which he carried to a state of perfect Purity, and Deliverance ultimate.
5. Effort (viriya)
Effort closely with Wisdom. Diligent Paramita is to maintain energy, persistent effort and determination to achieve the ultimate goal. Effort here is not physical power, although physical strength is also a good point. Effort here is mental energy, mental health, is the relentless efforts, diligence positive state of mind activity aims to serve others. Bodhisattvas are always trying and always confident.
Dr. Tagore, as well as a bodhisattva, drafted poems about being diligent, as follows:
"The danger variables, should not be wrapped ask. Take necessary vigor, brave enough, to overcome all obstacles.Jakarta Mahajanaka Jataka (No. 539) have clearly described how the Paramita of Diligence of a Bodhisattva:
"In suffering, not to pray, who expect salvation. Just have enough mind and have the courage to tame it.
"should not passively live in fear and anxiety awaited a ruling to the rescue. should always persevere, to strive for continuous the same period, to liberate thyself. "
Take the sea, sinking boats of Bodhisattvas. For seven consecutive days, not a minute of boredom, despair not, he always fought until being rescued.
failure is a step to success. Obstacles, adversity can only make Bodhisattva increase the energy and strive location. Risk variables only for his courage. Difficult Run only heavy guys even debilitating weaknesses, obstacles only the lack of energy lose heart, Bodhisattva bar his passage through all difficulties and overcome obstacles. He directed the ultimate goal and nothing makes him slack step.
When Mara advised to give up the fight, he did not hesitate to answer:
"For me, dying in battle against lust also collected the honor rather than live to fail. "
Bodhisattva use wisdom to serve. He also used diligently for the welfare of others. Instead of focusing their efforts on the narrow way of life and to achieve personal goals, his efforts towards the extensive road works, would make for the happiness of all beings generally enjoy. Not being tired, bored know, always positive Bodhisattva create wellbeing for all, without any implications for-profit, not expecting any privilege.
Standing on a vehicle, the Paramita of Diligence Wisdom is more important than Paramita. In the Eightfold Path, Right Effort (Samma Vayama or viriya) is to prevent them from arising unwholesome thoughts arise and not make thoughts more friendly arisen and flourished add up. Effort is one of the Seven Factors of Enlightenment, or seven fruits Bodhi's birth (viriya sambojjhanga, Effort Enlightenment). Effort is one of four or four Memberships Spirit Based Information (Viriyiddhipada, Offensive Information). Effort is the impact of four righteous way trying (Sammappadhana, Fourth District should) that is diligently maintained and made available dhamma dhamma not arise. Legal Effort to eradicate evil was evil and preventing the law can not arise. Effort is one of five mental faculties (viriya Bala, Attack Force), and one in the control center (viriya Indriya, Tan Base).
Diligence is the "original shore" (paramita), a tasks they undertake are ripe. Intellectual Effort agreement with an incredibly vital capacity can complete everything.
6. Patience (khanti)
patience is as important as Diligent.
Paramita is patiently endured the affliction that causes people and suffer for their mistakes of others.
Bodhisattva patience to executive level if the cut to an arm or a leg is not annoying frustrations.
A volume in the Jataka stories Khantivadi Jataka (No. 313) shows that not only fun drawing Bodhisattva of torture received by a king commanded drunk mercilessly. The king ordered cut hands, feet, nose, ears Bodhisattva, but he still took care of dealing with brutal honesty king wished to be well happy.
Finally, falls lying in a pool of blood, Bodhisattva uttered a prayer:
"prayer king threshold longevity. Though cruel hands of people mangled limbs and cut me a pure heart does not know when to resentment."
When Bodhisattva Who is hurting him think:
"He hurt us today was probably acquainted with me in a past life does, and accidental or intentional, we were left with her innocence column. could also this is a bad result but we have sown the seeds of recovery in the past. Chinh this is a result of our evil deeds in the past. Why we back the resentment harm us? "
If someone falls chronic teasing or aggression to the Bodhisattva, he also keeps the mind calm.
Regarding patient virtue, in the Kakacupama Sutta, the Buddha taught:
"Oil is to catch the robbers with swords and severed human limbs go again, always keep a pure heart, as if to mind thoughts unfair that you were not made in accordance with the teachings of the Tathagata.
"Be diligent practice to be like this: a mind always clean. No bad words when uttered. Leniency generosity, compassion with kindness. No resentment, no malice to anyone.
"thoughts of human compassion to all beings covered, until the cruel robbers. every day trying to do so, the whole world will be available to a love the vast, vast, constantly evolving every day, boundless, immeasurable, a love bring peace to all, and all is considered, the best possible. "
As Buddhists, we try and patience to executive clemency. Rather than see the evil of others, try to find the good in everyone, everything.
7. True (Sacca)
is True Paramita Saturday.
Sacca (true) means to keep a promise. It is a characteristic of the Bodhisattva, always act according to the words and actions say (Yathavadi tathakari, yathakari tathavadi, do say, how to say it).
According to Harita Jataka Jataka (No. 431), Bodhisattva never uttered a single word that he himself does not think so, and if you have committed to one of four of the five precepts of abstinence, he is not lying.
Chan That is the lodestar of Bodhisattvas. He considered himself obliged to always keep it. Before promise one thing, he thought carefully. As uttered words then decided to keep oil have also sacrificed their lives to acquiesce.
During Hiri Jataka Jataka (No. 363), counsel Bodhisattva:
"It was done for the period was promise. should know refuse to do what is promised. Tier intellectuals do not want charity close to class liars. "
Sutasoma Maha Jataka Jataka (No. 537) also documented story of a Bodhisattva sacrificed their lives to keep the promise.
"Like the morning star that we see the morning sky. Which day is today, quietly appeared where its position, not the wrong run. Years passed, and the morning star still medical appointments. wise words also have the right of way. Not when it deviates from the truth, not the wrong appointment. "
Bodhisattva is very upright, honest and clean. Think say and always reconcile thoughts, words and deeds.
During all that, he is always right and never wrong straight run. No lies, no wrong exaggerating slightly between body and mind and his words. How private life, public life like that, do not use the word Bodhisattva suck to buy other people's hearts, not the time to be the most enthusiastic praise, do not boast good ones, do not cover up their evil. He commended those who praise, blame those who should be despised, and to do so, not for any reason other than compassion.
Bodhisattva But do not tell the whole truth.
truth does not benefit and happiness for others, He did not say. On the contrary, the fact that benefits someone else, damage to oil his way, he also said.
Bodhisattva words of respect as well as respect for his words.
8. Decision Making (Adhitthana)
is Adhitthana Decision sure. This helps a lot to decide the legal Bodhisattva other Paramita. We can compare measures Decisions with the foundation of a large building. Thanks to the heroic strength of a real will to rot, Bodhisattva smashed the obstacles strewn on the road. He looked at one level, pointed straight goals. Sickness, sorrow, failure, etc. .. do not make him sleep forgotten sacred mission.
As Bodhisattva Gotama (Gautama), has decided to abandon the throne and royal life to perfect enlightenment. In the six years he strives incredibly strong, endured much hardship and how to deal with that difficult. Then came the decisive moment, when you need outside help than ever before, the year his disciples to go out. His perseverance was of one heart more trying and trying until times more accomplished the ultimate goal.
"Between strive jungle alone. was nothing, shook his decision, not the Bodhisattva other solid mountain rock. weathered Storm constant deluge, still strong as dragon mountain, sky struggle.
Bodhisattva The decision as hard as iron, solid as a mountain. His self-imposed rules to life and what makes him away from the bulb's life. encouraged to do good is a very easy job, but no one could induce him to act contrary principles. did when Bodhisattva soft and gentle such a disaster, there are also many cases, he proved to be solid and hard as a rock.
9. Metta (Metta)
Heart Of utmost importance in the Paramita.
Sanskrit Metta (From) means gentleness, generosity, kindness and brotherhood. Metta is the threshold lomh honestly pray that every living being, not put away any tiny living creatures, are happy and peaceful. From The Heart (Metta) Bodhisattva urged rejection of their individual freedom to save others. His mind was imbued with boundless infinite love for all, irrespective of caste, race, religion, sex. He is the embodiment of universal love, do not be afraid that someone who is not afraid. The beast alone in the middle of the forest place and his best friend is by living with the animals that he had raised the same body, same love that. He is always cuddled inside an infinite love for all beings.
Metta (Metta) in Buddhism is not a particular affection (pema), and not related to love flesh . According to Buddhism, the direct enemy of Metta is resentment and revenge indirect Metta is craving affection. Affectionately birth fear and sorrow. Metta bring peace, joy and happiness.
should be noted that the implementation of Metta, do not forget yourself. Metta must be spread to others as well as for us. Metta regardless of "we" and "people". Metta in Buddhism embraces the entire cosmos in which everything has it. Dharmapala Maha Jataka Jataka (No. 385) that a bodhisattva other youth Metta spread evenly, and are both cruel father ordered his execution, the executioner, the kindly mother 're weeping laments, and also spread itself slowly to his.
Metta is very mysterious dread force, and this force can sow dread effect for those near and those far away. A clean heart poured out capabilities such kindness can change the sound data, change the evil good, can make a beast becomes as docile dogs, like cats, making guys look grim 's become such a gentle saint.
Oai mysterious force was not looking where he was unfamiliar. It is within the capacity of the people. Just a little effort is made to it.
Buddha once taught:
"We live on a mountain, among the sweet sketchy tigers, and to protect none other than our minds. Around as lions, tigers, leopards, deer, deer stuff. Besides the jungle weeds, without any fear of animals and we're also not afraid of any animals. dread the power of Metta support, protection and help us to live in peace. "
When we love people, we loved that course. Do not have a dynamic contrast, no hostile vibration, no reverse any ideas Tria can impinge on a person's aura has been Metta protection. Quiet mind is we live in heaven and heavenly scenes created by ourselves.
Metta There is no happiness. With people living nearby Metta also enjoyed somewhat cool conditions. If everyday cultivate and express verbal and Mind From action, to prevent natural curtain between "us" and "people" disappearing, and "we" will be consistent with all beings. There is no "us" anymore. We will assimilate all (Sabbattata). It is the culmination of Metta, Metta.
A devout Buddhist center to the "From" for all living beings and to identify himself with all, irrespective of caste, religion, race, men and women. From the Buddhist center break all attachments between people and people. For true Buddhist, who has no relatives profile, no stranger enemies, no class outcasts, who have no higher power rating you should not be afraid to dare. From the heart of Buddhist wisdom is based on. Buddhist Metta build strong brotherhood between all human beings: the Buddhist must be a citizen of this world.
10. Mind Drain (upekkhà)
is ranged Paramita tenth.
upekkhà by two Sanskrit root "upa" and "ikkha" that out. "Upa" is right, true, unbiased. "Ikkha" is seen, said that inference. So upekkhà is seen right, righteous judgment, impartial reasoning, no attachment nor aversion. No fancy nor resentment.
upekkhà (Discharge) here is not "neutral" as in the conventional sense of it. "Discharge" is not a cold, indifferent, so the film is not, nor is interest neutral, not-happy-not-sad. Drain Paramita extremely important subjects, but also very difficult to practice, especially for the laity, who are not rolling in the world of impermanence, change. Contempt, defamation, curses, is commonplace. Gain and loss, fame and disrepute, praise and blame, gain and losses, suffering and happiness are what often happens in life. Between the ups and downs of the world, Bodhisattva always keep calm mind. Between the storms of life, Bodhisattva unmoved. Industrial rigid and solid as a rock between the horns to the sky. It is long-range.
's not funny nor sad. Be praised or blamed, Bodhisattva always calmly, firmly as elephant, tiger strong. He did not sound scared. Mouth wounds to his tongue touched clue. As wind, blowing horizontal grid in the grid without being caught, he lived among the market without sexual pleasures and subtle impermanence of life. Like the lotus, from mud muddy water, much beyond the glamor world, his own freedom to live in the air, always quiet, always pure and joyful.
"The happiness of depressing, when promoted, time deposits, one must have a mind like earth.One other important feature of the Bodhisattva is fair virtue, uprightness. During the judging, he should retain equanimity unaffected by desire (chanda), hatred (dosa), fear (Bhaya) and delusion (moha) as blind.
well as we can throw it on the ground no matter what, sour oil, sweet oil. cleaning oil, dirty oil, land remains calm However, an impervious level. Dat not angry, not hurt. " [4]
-OOo-
Through ten Paramita approach so that each Bodhisattvas are trying to practice extreme, we can see that the life of a Bodhisattva is great sacrifices of strict discipline, is to give all what mundane, is fully enlightened, is patience, honesty, perseverance constantly endeavor, is an iron will, a strong spirit and totally cool. Besides ten Paramita, Portugal Tat also must keep three virtuous circle (Cariya) is:
- Buddhi Cariya, intellectual work always friendly wise,In three happy, happy second is the welfare of relatives. This is not bias, put relatives on other people, just because these men closer, more personal. This is not a selfish act, but a reasonable job. Keep three virtuous circle nice and proper practice ten Paramita, here the lines that drift karma, birth and death, birth and death of countless lifetimes, Bodhisattva gradually overcome the storm of misfortune sea constant birth and death.
- Natyattha Cariya, positive activities for the welfare of dear relatives, and
- Lokattha Cariya, serve to guide all beings on earth where perfection.
Sometimes Bodhisattva be reborn as God or a god Sakka any brighter. At another time, he was down to the Trop or cowardly, or go back to doing interesting and finally, when all ten made legal circles Paramita, he being the fairies Tusita (Circus Export). Here he waited enough grace period, return to earth to complete the final stage of evolution to rank supreme Buddha (Samma SamBuddha).
Bodhisattva should not be mistaken for intentional realms of rebirth in many different gathering experience. No one escape the law of karma, the law of Cause and Effect and only decide the future life of a living being. Only Buddhas and monks Arhat is no longer made and no longer new career rebirth retribution.
however, thanks to abundant blessings, compassionate bodhisattva also have some special powers. For example, when Brahma beings, whose lives in this world long chasms, he can use the powerful, end of life and rebirth in a realm of ten can easily Paramita more.
Note Jataka (Jataka) notes that in addition to the Bodhisattva realm that can be used even on the power switch that rebirths (adhimutti-kalakiriya, according to death) has eighteen other realms that a Bodhisattva, oil to oil, never reborn. For example, he can not be reborn on the circumstances dumb or deaf, or as a being completely wrong (niyata micchaditthi) do not believe that is where the law of cause and effect. Bodhisattvas can be reborn as an animal, the animal form of an elephant and not larger than the small snipe.
depraved he may be in one of four woeful (apàya) but not to the point to forestry into a state of extreme distress this situation. Bodhisattva does not seek rebirth in the heavenly scene Unknown version (Suddhavasa) is the realm of the word A Na Ham, left her body after, resting on it before achieving success Arhat. He also does not want to be reborn into the realm Immaterial (arupaloka) because this place does not have a chance to serve.
could I ask: "A bodhisattva is said that in countless reincarnations, he will become not become a Buddha? "
Sometimes knew, too, when he does not know. According to the Jataka (Jataka), Gotama Bodhisattva know that after trying to paddle, he would Buddha attained. Setti Visayha Jataka tales (No. 340) says that one day God Sakka (Sakka) to pay homage to the Buddha and asked why the Buddha had infinite mind power so. The Buddha replied that because he did not intend to effect a particular gift in three realms (sphere, sphere, Formless) that His purpose is evangelism Fruit Supreme, supreme Buddha.
contrary in some other life, such as life as Jotipala [5], not only he did not remember his lofty aspirations but also an insult to the Buddha, the Buddha Kassapa. It should be added that the Buddha Kassapa was directed initiation point, his life up for the last time.
those we took advantage of this precious life to serve the world, we can also become a Bodhisattva. Do not think that the ideal of the Bodhisattva or Bodhisattva, just for a category of excellence. The more that a person can do, another can do. As long as enough heroic effort necessary, and the cost can also be accomplished.
therefore, efforts should also actively backing up the faith to our state and for the welfare of others. And also should choose to serve noble ideals and perfection is the goal of life.
Serving to become fully and completely to serve.
