Economic Origins of Mahayana.

                                    

 

After more than 500 years after the Buddha's passing away, Mahayana Buddhism began to appear and then the other sects of Mahayana Buddhism are collectively called Theravada.

Theravada Buddhism, known as Theravada, Theravada does not recognize the name of the Theravada and countered: "Economics is not a Mahayana Buddhist teachings." The following argument justifies the above remarks.

Argument 1 : Venerable Walpola Rahula said of Theravada Buddhism: "There are people who think: 'Emptiness' that Nagarjuna said, purely Mahayana teachings. Actually he based on reasonable and non-self Dependent Origination, already present in the Pali to write out ".

At one time the Venerable Ananda asked the Buddha: "People say the word 'No', so 'No' is what? Buddha answered Ananda, 'No' is no ego, no anything related to ego on this world. Therefore, the world is selfless. "

Nagarjuna based on two tenets on when he wrote the famous book "Madhyamarg", Madhyamika-karika.

Argument 2 : In the book "Heart Sutra explained," the Dalai Lama said: "In these times of aggregation Nikaya only 5 and 4 A-levels only, absolutely no Mahayana sutras." Commentary on the Dalai Lama means that Mahayana monks creative due later.

Argument 3 : According to the book "The formation of Mahayana" J. O 'Neil, Mahayana appeared around 100 BC. Thus Mahayana monks is due out later wrote, because no one survived to record the words of the Buddha, after more than 500 years after Buddha's passing away.

Argument 4: When trying to remember to record the Buddha's teachings, it can record only briefly, a few brief pages, like Theravada, not able to record a parsimonious way, full every detail, the pulpit as Mahayana customs. Specifically, the Great Perfection of Wisdom sutras all 600 books, 80 book Flower Adornment Sutra. Time to perform all the activities this year must be a few dozen, beyond the amount of time aggregation. So to say that Mahayana monks aggregation is so unreasonable.

Argument 5 : Saying that the canonical order of the Buddha, "the Buddhist Five"?. But in the time to set up their business just recorded Agama Agama time during that period did not say anything to the other, such as the Hoa Nghiem, Phuong Dang time, Prajna time, the Lotus Sutra. Thus "the Buddhist Five" is no basis to believe it.

Argument 6 : Saying that is due Mahayana Bodhisattva Maitreya, Manjushri compiled and passed on to high increases such as his Ma Ming, Nagarjuna, Asanga, Vasubandhu ... Evidence of this mystical process, because two Bodhisattva on the invisible, formless.

Argument 7 : The term Mahayana, Theravada and Mahayana, Hinayana only found in the scriptures about 600 years after the Buddha passed away 500 years. Thus the Buddha did not say two words on.

Argument 8: Theravada and Mahayana were written by monks. The difference between these two types of business are:

* Doing so Theravada monks aggregation, recorded teachings of the Buddha honestly, no more, no less so called economic primitives. Meanwhile, the ...

* Doing so is Mahayana monk born logistics, after more than 500 years, voluntarily deployed according to the teachings of Buddha individual understanding, more this, less and since no other piece not by monks aggregation so Mahayana very contradictory, to say yes, when to say no, when really, when damaged.

* Examples of inconsistency: In the Sutta, Theravada Buddhism is inscribed: French troops as legal, Mahayana Buddhism, also credited as: Restaurant selfless approach. Thus, "legal" only selfless, not very often or what?

* Examples of interpretations: the Buddha is: "people have real power." Mahayana deduced to add more food to 10 food 4. Four formula is: Manas, Alaya, Amala and Hridaya.

* Examples of Mantra: Mantra is a flexible language, language can not modify security sound. But mantra: Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Boddhi Svaha been changed to: Bill soles, soles Bill, she was listed soles, Three Empire is rising up, she slapped Bodhi ha.

Argument 9 : According to the Flower Adornment Sutra, World Product achievements, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva said: "God created human Tathagata world". But Buddhism does not accept the existence of Almighty God has created the universe and all living beings. Thus Flower Adornment Sutra is not the teachings of the Buddha, as opposed to the teachings of the Buddha.

Argument 10 According to the Theravada, which is arahant has enlightened, while still in the world. Conversely according theories "Three Buddhas" of Mahayana Buddha Shakyamuni from countless lifetimes and that he is to enter the goods. If so, Shakyamuni is said to "practice like?". You do not have to: "6 year old to reach the forest ascetic religion". Thus theory "Three Buddhas" is not reasonable, due Mahayana monks created.

11 Arguments era of Buddha, people still rustic emitters, so little language book news Buddha meditation, Vipassana meditation, Vipassana ... simple and straightforward. Conversely Mahayana way of meditation: Four of the four formless class is: infinite set, the infinite consciousness, the origin is naught; African thought, non / non-originating idea of (dtyl, 49 ). It is complex and difficult to understand for the Buddhist practice of 2600 years ago???. (Tnx78)

12 Arguments Pali Theravada use, simple prose. Using Sanskrit Mahayana, ornate polished, with many mystical meaning and metaphor. Why books are set in the times of the Pali Sanskrit without?. That is because the ancient Buddha taught in the Pali language primitives for doing so is only used to record Pali only.

Argument 13: According to the website of the Lotus Gallery: The venerable Mahakasyapa nominated Venerable Ananda recital and public consensus. Venerable Ananda turn the following set of activities: Increase least, lower floors, University of conditions, increase lizards, Sa gifts, discounts and preached the Buddhist bhikkhus, nuns, she Pros principle, Upasika. The long economic aggregates into a function called A School. The average economic aggregates into a Central A function called. The business said for many objects such as bhikkhus, nuns, Upasaka, Upasika be compiled into a magazine called A function. These activities in turn speak from an incremental approach to the ten aggregation into a most Increases A function called. The business covers a lot of issues into an organ called the Journal.

Then Venerable Mahakasyapa statement: We have finished with the teachings. From what Buddha did not specify the mechanism is not arbitrary statutory, regulatory what the Buddha had not been violated. We must be respectful learning what regulatory Buddha.

This is the oldest document, marked the beginning of forming Chief Pali Canon. This Canon is the basis of Theravada Buddhism. Absolutely no Tibetan Mahayana sutras.

Argument 14 : This royal pentagon, Truc Lam Tran Nhan Tong University early momentum did not believe business: Amitabha and Infinite Life Sutra is Buddha's teaching, the last two sentences of the article following various "heretical Residential Ceiling":

Pure is pure in heart, do not even ask the question is the Amida Western enlightened, hard to find to buy Ecstasy.                             

Argument 15: Sutta, legal Issue 3, (Four foundations of mindfulness, 241.243) have a saying: "the very basis, any ideas from the world, of any announcement from the captain thought very convenient, very convenient captain announced his wife residual , his wife residual, thought disorder means elimination nirvana ".                       

Gas above verses such as "Uncivil Mind". It is "very interested hell afraid, very afraid to try monsters, countless terrorist property, renunciation crazy dream Nibbana". So affordable "Heart Sutra" in particular and business in general Mahayana be deduced from economic Primitive?. (Tnx p. 37)                                                             

Argument 16 : Nalinaksha Dutt wrote: "The economic Saddharmapundarika, of the Lotus Sutra of Mahayana two statements used in Theravada Buddhism to demonstrate the Mahayana teachings of the Buddha".                  

* The first statement of the Buddha, after enlightenment is: Buddhist should know not hesitate legend for public teachings or enter Nirvana? (Mahayana monk explained: Mahayana doctrine so sublime New to Buddha hesitate).                                                                                                     * The second statement of the Buddha: Buddha preached Dhamma does not have the same laws. (Mahayana monk explained: Buddha wanted to teach Theravada doctrine first, then design That, in turn, follows the Mahayana teachings).                             

Explanation as to demonstrate the Mahayana Buddhist teachings are very vague, unclear, because the two questions above can be explained in many different meanings.                                                                           

Argument 17 : Dr. Suzuki writes, "is not the Mahayana teachings of the Buddha accuracy, but the Mahayana monks are very proud of this fact, because it is a religious power flexibility. So what does a relationship problem is Mahayana teachings accuracy or inaccuracy of the Buddha. "                                                                                                                                                                                               Comment Comment on 18 : JR O'Neil wrote: "Economics of Mahayana completely different in style, tone , but it is widely accepted in accordance with the new movement as "spokesman" for several reasons. First, they believe that the Buddha exists, perceive through meditation and trance and dream that went through the experience. Second, they are viewed as products from the Prajna wisdom as well as a fundamental teachings of the Buddha. Third, after this, many people believe that the Mahayana scriptures that the Buddha's teachings, but the country has been hidden in the spirit of the snake species (Naga, Naga king), for as long as humans can realize the importance of the new economic visiting them, through the power of meditation time.                                                                                

19 The argument of Vasubandhu, Asanga wrote a book: "Only way to learn French minister" very famous. He did Mahayana Buddhism flourished in the 4th century and he also abandoned Theravada Buddhist to practice Mahayana Buddhism. To justify the origin of Mahayana, he said: "Maybe Mahayana is due to a certain position?. write it out ... and you?. must have attained bodhi as Shakyamuni Buddha Mahayana and so should be regarded as the Buddha's teachings. "                       

That statement of The Body height increase proved he could not confirm the Mahayana Buddhist teachings, though he grew very close to the time of the Buddha.

Conclusion:

Theravada monks are full of history, books, business documents to prove the teachings of Theravada Buddhism. Mahakasyapa Venerable Ananda and the Buddha's teaching practice honestly, no more, no less to complete teachings and law practice of Buddhism. During the second set, the Dhamma (Dhamma) was split in two and rearranged the order, neat in 3 organ Pitaka (basket). That is: Tripitaka (Suttanta), organ micro-magic (Abhidhamma) and Vinaya (Vinaya). It is the Pali Tripitaka. In the next time aggregation, only legal organ is altered slightly to adapt to the living conditions and social circumstances of the time. This is the chief organ of basic practice Theravada Buddhism.

Mahayana monks do not have any concrete evidence to prove the Mahayana teachings of the Buddha, except those cited supernatural, mystical grounds as stated in number 6 and 18. Even as monks do not follow the teachings of the Buddha, such as vegetarian food instead of salt, recited in the vernacular instead of Sanskrit (Pali), wearing different clothes and so on. Mahayana monks deduce is so profound teachings of the Buddha. Thus Buddhist philosophy becomes more flexible and rich. Is typical: "Madhyamarg" and "consciousness-only school." Mahayana also introduced many Bodhisattvas and Buddhas. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas become the object of worship, help spread successful in Mahayana Buddhism. END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.14/1/2014.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
