Compassion - Ht Thich Thien Hoa.

As the head has said, this is the nature of the Buddha nature. Buddha Nature also known as Bodhi, Nirvana, Chon center, Chon as, Vienna, perception ..

Buddha-nature is not a little dirty but absolutely clean; Buddha nature but widely unlimited universe as vast, unbroken Buddha nature, which endures forever as time: no downside Buddha nature that Full of energy, the right thing.

Buddha Nature has many features, there are many colors, there are many aspects, can not be said to be tightened. Here we present just a few of the qualities of the Buddhist scriptures often say to stop.

I. - DEFINITIONS

Compassion is because the word "From" and "Bi" melding back. According to the scriptures, "From" is a loving, often bring fun for all beings (From evil energy beings spend most optimistic). "Bi" is mercy, except commercial end suffering for all beings (Bi canvas features the most detailed world of suffering beings). In "Four immeasurable" (four large dishes unexpected center), the head of compassion. Two letters from collapsed under Chinese grammar, the meaning is not reversible, but in Vietnamese so we should be ahead and from behind, because "Bi" which is the "From" is the result, as well as "discharge" which is the "rapture" is effective. "Why is that? - As if in love, wants to ban happy beings, while they suffered torments, then the fun was just strained something fun. So they want to enjoy the full fun, except prior to fears for their suffering, and for fun. way, the fun is completely new.

II. - NATURE OF THE BI:

1. - Are immense compassion and equality:

In life or in the doctrines, religions often comes to love, charity. But this term contains a narrow content, sometimes it's just love your wife, dear family and friends, then out to the wider national race as much. Chu compassion of Buddhism has no range, its vast, endless. It spread from family, society, race, the human race to all beings, plants. It has no body profile, your enemies, near and far, strengths and weaknesses, it is spread by water, where the water flows to the previous low, get more, higher then any place in the following flow, getting less, but always at the same above are present. Anyone who is suffering much more research, who saved little less painful, but the purpose is always to make people, all things are quiet happy and free from suffering equally. Compassion is equal, no high low, far and near, light heavyweight. But because beings have many types of suffering, there is little sufferings humanity has many extremists, extremists have little compassion so well depending on the case, depending on the illness, but more or less reduced to san Date by the sea of ​​suffering. Thus, we find that the spirit of compassion always equal, but in practice there are differences depending on circumstances, where should pour much love, a place just right, there is little place. And that is truly equal.

2. - Compassion is clear:

Not the boundless compassion, equality, but also incredibly wise. Compassion in real life when there are so blind. When they left early trade round as well, when they hated Sapindales also distorted. Trade is bad as well as good, hate is good and bad products. Especially love, even more than blind. In journalism, there is no year date, three different cases guillotine, kill each other for love. Love and hatred go parallel. "No love is hate", a French psychologist has said rightly so. Love between life blind like the reason, is because it comes from the continent lost love sex, because it's based on his love, to the self.

Wisdom of Buddha dispels the self, for the compassion of the Buddha should not rely on the selfish self. Therefore, very compassionate insight. Compassion enlightened by wisdom, realized that his whole, I was all, despite being divided into six categories: God, Human, asura, hungry ghosts, animals, hell, but achievements medium can still contract the same as a wet substance despite the ice when frozen, when dissolved into water, when turned into steam, when the clouds gathered, the rain out, and have a common nature: nature wet. Beings without beginning, turning upside down in six lines, life continues wants millions, did his parents and sisters, relatives of each other, so we must love one another.

Speaking in a general way, the compassionate love that comes from living life back injuries and pain rid determination was clinging to life, in much diversified. Life has vastly equality, wisdom, compassion is also immense, equal clarity.

III. - CAPACITY OF THE BI

Compassion is not a theoretical, not a good ideal to look for life. It is not a passive power, which is both a strength constant activity. Compassion is the source of good neighborhood, good deeds are due to both compassion. First of all, because compassion should we give alms, alms so that an end to greed, four cropping. So should our compassion morality, because morality of killing that do not harm animals. So should our compassion patience, because patience are qualities we quell anger, hatred. Since our compassion should be diligent, so diligent that one except be lazy. So should our compassion dedicated to static, due to which we all still confused agitation. So should we practice compassionate wisdom by intellectual discipline that delusion dissipated.

Through him all things that support compassion murdered, pain, thanks to support human compassion that war; through human compassion that less animosity; through compassion that poor hungry less cold, less greedy rich people; thanks compassion that people are enlightened stupid, cruel people back meek, scared people back to peace of mind.

In summary, through compassion that this mundane world cry less, deep pools with tears, the smile on his lips.

IV. - Compassion Shakyamuni Buddha's

To have a concrete evidence of compassion and its use, let us look back at the life direction of the Master Sakyamuni Buddha. He has compassion, to save suffering beings so he became a Buddha. From the age of seven, in an age when people often make is not knowing the poor old (CET Age sans Pitie), then the Sakyamuni fall plowing consequences down the road, when he found shocking murder scene won between creatures to preserve their own life. Growing up, his compassion expanding. He could not find a shot that bird rescue a sheep which was crippled not hold it up. As the vast mercy, love forsaken his family's small, splendid golden throne forsaken, forsaken topping fame, the compassion that he has lying snow pillow mist, not managing risks during space directed research to find life. Because of the compassion that forty-nine years he constantly preached a day. Because of the compassion that he placed around the heel vast realms India. Because of the compassion that he has forgotten elderly, living sermon until the last minute before you leave it. Because of the compassion that he has great prayer: "I pray to bring my body under all the countless suffering beings" or: "If there is a being that has not accomplished Buddhahood, I decided not to become Buddha" . Because of the compassion that he has declared a mighty sayings: "If you're not in hell is anyone to hell?" or full sentences tolerant, generous, and will have the golden rule for eternity: "With the data, we should be good, with the uptight, uptight one should not, for the time involved, we time should not participate. responded Take it when compassion, honesty get in return exaggerating, take the good response data. "

V. - FOSTER Buddhists pride BI HOW IN DAILY LIFE

Compassionate nature inherent in each of us mind. We do not need to beg, bribe it in a certain god, any god. Seeds that lie in our hearts. But it is being filled government under which class hatred, greed, selfishness, should not be sprouting slim, to lean up. So, the first job of the nurse's compassionate nature ominous times to brake the layer of obstacles, to the germs from the bounce. When it was raised off the ground, we have to find all predestined, every convenient opportunity it is to sprout quickly. The work not only in three days, a month, a year, but for a lifetime. Well not only take care of it in a convenient great opportunity, but leave it in the act, small and simple gesture daily. There are many people who can do great things charity, such as opening the trade, release your legs, spend tens of thousands of silver each, so that when people see a pain, hunger or cold renh a foreclosure before him, the officers segment to ignore. Someone can jump into the river to save drowning people, leaving thousands of buy silver bird, buy fish killed, nevertheless calmly watched an innocent ant drowning in a glass of water, or a dragonfly being sent interrupt interrupt his little tail off. Let's be careful, let's find out the reason of the above actions mood. Sometimes it is due to the misconception that ideas do great things, great new charity, new compassion, even little things, who do also, do or not do has no consequences What, when it was won by nature eager, eager to chime benefits that do. If that is not the nature of compassionate care, but on the contrary it is further buffeted under the delusion of your hearts desire. Want to support compassionate nature, all we have to do good works, avoid the evil, though to no matter how small, whether in front of people want, or just me alone, whether compliments or criticism, whether easy or difficult.

Want to support compassionate nature have exposed close to the miseries of life. Those who are always in the palatial mansion, difficult to know what the weasel midnight scene under the rain leaking thatched hut, fled the scene when the sun under the corrugated roof noon. These people always riding horses, hard of hearing is the sound of groaning roadside, in the frog. Those who dress warm, luxurious feel the hard chill to the bone marrow of the naked man in rags. These guys always sitting in front of the high table food, fine taste, hear the howl, scream horror, the pain of the shuttle sequence of cattle being slaughtered under the kitchen. So, want to exchange love, right close to misery. Prince Siddhartha I am in the king's palace, where his father please anonymously extractors look beyond the four gates of the city is so. See, feel, do share the same suffering, each new trade. There are other new injuries each sought to relieve suffering. There are sufferings and pain of love each other, adding new and exciting development. Love more excited and development, we also thank those who have created misery predestined to extend our love and strong performance. The main merit of the suffering was filled nurture compassion arise and grow. Land activities, land of compassionate life is misery. Separated misery, compassion tree will lose power and being unable to come to fruition is. Misery not only in humans, but common to all organisms. So who support compassionate nature not only help save human suffering but also how to love animals, see them as helpers in the home, avoid them suffering needlessly. Think they also have maternal love, she was loyal, known suffering, known fear. We should not be excluded, they abuse it. We should not find pleasure in hunting or fishing. Those who can enjoy the sight of the horrific pain the animals, birds, fish, kill shot, will become familiar with scenes of killing, cruelty between people.

Until the trees and the nature of compassion and care should not needlessly destructive. Remember that it is life, and life has of course to preserve life. Those who live Rooter, dead trees, flower interrupt, break leaves, breaking branches without a purpose at all just to satisfy the preferred destructive nature, these people were also hurt his compassion much. Love plants, help us find the behavior of the living legend perhaps, sympathize with the general characteristics of all things, and directly receive the nature of the universe.

In a nutshell, do all of the above, from small to large, from DDE to hard, retrogression never despair; expand sales for its compassion embraces both the legal world: Thus is the nature of nursing compassion of the Buddha, that each of us has the potential available in the state of our mind.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.14/3/2014.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
