I-DEFINITIONS
Wisdom is the nature of wisdom and inspiration throughout the review was unimpeded and obstacles. Wisdom Sanskrit called "Prajna", translated in Chinese music is Prajna, or wisdom University. To specify a broad, flexible photo, effectiveness of intelligence, much as in Beijing also called Prajna Paramita, ie the ultimate wisdom and insight will certainly bring people to cultivate Buddhahood.
If ignorance is the darkness covers everything, making them not get the true birth of the cosmos and thereby beings suffer, on the contrary, the intellectual, is the only weapon will be used to destroy the ignorance that, being made ​​visible universe is the promised truth, and this truth can enter in order to live a happy life, good.
Speaking of wisdom, in economic Di teacher, the Buddha taught:
"Wise people do not participate before, in order, to clear, to avoid tunnel hole sin is true wisdom solidly boat, being taken from the river of suffering love, is tops shed light on the dark domain, the antidote is thousands of disease, is the iron hammer smashed forest afflictions, the sharp blade cut nets ignorance. "
II. - difference in intelligence, UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE LIFE OF BUDDHA AND INTELLECTUAL
When it comes to intelligence, many people mistakenly believe that intellectual sense in Buddhism as well as the intelligent understanding of the world, but the only other widely wisdom of Buddha, wiser. In fact, the intelligent understanding of the world and the wisdom of Buddhism have many differences. Due to this difference, the classic Buddhist teachings distinguish two kinds of wisdom: wisdom and worldly wisdom in Buddhism.
1. - worldly wisdom:
As one of the world know, that know so much wrong mistakes, omissions causes people to have passed the three worlds forever rolling six lines.
wisdom of the world can be divided into two things:
a. There is something sly smart, know more expansive, but immoral, it only serves to desire to know, selfish, selfish self-satisfaction, as the evil henchman. I know it would be absolutely dangerous than the more foolish, because it makes people lose all common sense, more evil animals. So dduc Buddha said that this is the smart one in eight major accident victims.
b. Something smart hustler, understanding what is good to do, what to avoid evil, know how to do things beneficial to society's population. Yet knowing this does not help for people suffering from escaping round, reincarnation.
therefore so called worldly wisdom.
2. Wisdom in Buddhism: There are two things:
a. Friends smuggled mind: The mind is not capable piece of property illegally afflictions. That is the position at the mercy byproducts, but use wisdom to observe impure body, life is suffering, impermanence center selfless way, but then that is always pure, is fun, as is often true self , there was overwhelming negativity property illegally, but was unable to break.
b. Outflow position: Also known as Prajna mind; broke this position unless the property illegally negativity, ultimately reaching a pure place, but only when the Holy One new results, this location has two parts:
- In terms of " Can "ie the basic position, also called the true position, discriminating mind, as rational, feet position, etc. .. Economics said:" The Tathagata uses the basic position (position undifferentiated) feet of such grace, heart and no two scenes, no power base, "or said," it's clearly true position of the law minister. "
- In terms of "use", ie post-special care. After posting the basic position and this new position, also called the right position, the difference position. Kinh said: "Tathagata used right position, grasp the difference method, teachers beings."
III. - THE INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY
They live in life as possible into the night, as the vast ocean rowing boat between ass, do not know where is boundless. The wisdom of the world is about street lights illuminate me, the only geographical orientation for me. The over all things, all beings are mastered through intellectual, progressive civilization of humanity materially as well thanks intellectual today.
nowhere But civilized human being does not transcend the realm Saha is also still suffering, still subject to the disease and the elderly, death, sorrow ... To escape the suffering of the world, thanks to the wisdom of the Buddha. Wisdom of Buddha have a lot of power, wonders of the world differs from the position. Based on the functional nature of the way, did the right thing, intellectual consciousness-only school divided into four categories, there are four different names: As in the ordinary position, but in the confusion, each person has in mind and Eleven mental food, when they are, the mind and the Holy fifty items that are transformed into mental position. The eighth is a part, has the power to preserve my life, seed and world. When the outflow reaches the status of this formula turns into "The landscape park": clairvoyance as big mirror and the full picture, instructed as to the nature feet.
seventh masks, whose functions are generally accepted fall, reaching the outflow position, turned into "nature Equality location": true awareness of the legal nature of equality with its priceless.
's sixth sense has to distinguish among them, reaching the outflow position, turned into "observation location": magical capacity to observe.
prior year formula (cognitive, binomial, rate formula, practical consciousness) have exposed the sense of power, while reaches the outflow position, turned into "The basis of work place": There is awareness and capacity across, all job accomplishments.
IV. - MIRROR OF INTELLECTUAL Shakyamuni Buddha to
Buddha, also known as Beings Enlightenment. The term is mankind throughout history recognized and honored.
Sakyamuni, since childhood has proved more intellectual people. At seven years old, one day go plowing ceremony, similar fratricidal scene police found between animals born, you realize life is suffering, and the law of the realm of life's harsh life on the dead husband's wish species of all things. He knows only a ten school, so that made ​​the professor, surprised and admire, respect him up as their teacher back. Every time you walk into a store visit is the truth he found a dark realms of life: Come pain, any age, any death. But the truth was not to know that, take down the helpless hands, and wept in a negative way. He did not stop what he's said in it, but also to push their intellectual light, looking to cause suffering. Find the cause of suffering then he back to find methods to stop the causes of suffering. To which he has not stopped thinking subject, but also find a realm of eternal happiness Ving. All nhienn, of the search for perfection and achievement was not easy. He had to leave all that is precious dear, traveled find, find you to learn, go out the country to other countries, where there is a listen to the man, intelligent eminent philosopher is he to receptor teacher did not mind the distant roads, rugged mountains. But where, you know they also have not seen the extreme, there are well-unresolved questions. Facing him, had surrendered divorce his wife?
can not be like that! His determination to break new ignorance alone! Can not remember who taught his method to end suffering completely, take pleasure prospect, then he took on his own. From there, he meditate day and night, enter quit to forget to eat sleep, during forty-nine days under the Bodhi tree. And the other one dawn, His wisdom has illuminated, slide the ten directions, find inspiration all the way from the past to the future, that is the nature of the universe as clearly see his hands. From there, he became Supreme Beings supreme Buddha.
V. - Buddhists develop the mind like in everyday life?
Each of us has sprouted available wisdom, the wisdom of nature Buddha. But the germ does not cultivate, care, lack of land, lack of water, lack of air springs should not bear the Bodhi tree, the precarious nature, such as jade and stone mixed in, no light should be honed not emitted.
Want wisdom as the Buddha, we must follow the law that Buddha has shown. These measures do not screw this much, but we should choose some method can usually be done in the daily lives of us.
Firstly we have to hear and see (Van). Not just listening to the essentials of the Buddha, see the essentials in classic is enough. In daily life, we can hear useful things around us. In other words, the complaint must be trained to observe lessons learned precious dharma. While listening, seeing, observing, we try not to lust, selfishness involved in seeing, hearing, what my observations. Do not ask, do not hate, do not be so biased that desire, love and hate self-century bias. In other words, do not let the "we" obligatory narrow opening just what it looked like, hear what she preferred, close your eyes and ears, not to fall into my eyes, my ears so it's not like, not like. Do not be afraid of the truth, do not be afraid of light, especially when that truth may offend "the one", as the light blinded her "self". In life many people have eyes to see, ears that hear not, because the eye, the ear's screen habits, prejudices, interests, ego obscures lost love. So before listening, looking, just He lifted up the darkness was. Hearing, wisely observed, is not objective enough to see clearly the truth is inside the object. Test must be used to infer location (Wednesday), review all aspects inspired, to share things that are the core, the principle of it. Always ask questions: "Why", "how", "what happened then." Regardless of a word, a gesture, an action, before, we must use wisdom to thorough scrutiny for industry tops. For example, when we like to eat tasty, like sleep, we have to wonder then see the ugly nature will result in anything, it makes us progressive or degenerative, and I like to see if anyone commented eat, sleep achievement in life that they do not. When I want to immerse themselves in gambling drinking, smoking policy, one must wonder whether someone's fascination things that no body frail, depraved spirit, not broken family. When we tell lies, deceive this, exploitation of others, let us see the results of those experiments that action will be, people will always reasonable confidence, we are reasonable people who love life, we have been forever in peace with her ​​evil deeds affordable. When our anger, pride, let us think back to see the nature center was devastating bad general life and private life to the public. If he stopped unless the nature and my soul gently, how relaxed, between social life will be easier to breathe, how happy? Summary of a word, is to use wisdom in all thoughts, words, gestures, actions in all jurisdictions and circumstances, in every age, every generation. Let's always remember that ignorance is the root of evil want, wisdom is the root of good neighborhood. Sensei teaches a very profound statement: "Real captain greed, hatred starts, only self prime crisis" (greed, fear not rebel, but feared intelligence, self-discipline slow, not revealed). In other words, let us always be vigilant, sober, wise, intellectual torch illuminates our lives always. Let's make our intellect always awoke with questions about the causes, outcomes, reality, past, future. Question always asked forever, not only never asked unknown. Never shall receive an answer, but not halfway as it seeks to complete, ultimately. Always ask, ask again, never asked to have nothing to ask for another stop. But here we should be awake, to prevent the dangerous pitfalls of desire of "I", of ignorance, means that there are answers as the dose of sleeping pills, no answer at all but dissipates, comforting lull us to sleep, so I do not ask anymore. There are no answers to the question straight answer to broaden the understanding, but to flatter "the one", to satisfy desire, enhance the pride, self love, giving us every reason eclipsed every day, no longer able to discern where wisdom is right, what is left, what is good, what is bad again. contrast should also prevent a second defect is the finding delight in knowing the so to satisfy curiosity, the mere awareness, to know that know, know what irresponsible. What's known develop the mind, is based on the know love, to compassion, to know how something yourself, to humanity, to escape being miserable round, know what brings happiness for all both, I know it's "place of the world." Knowing the truth is not enough. Need to practice what he knows (Tu). Know, that it's out, it's a new experience, real experience, real proof is truly known. It is operating steel stove and wisdom is to grinding stones pearls of wisdom. No one knows the real action was just an empty, not enough to chase away evil thoughts, dispel ignorance, itself evidence of selflessness, to realize the unborn legal. Want to hone its intellectual results, the Buddhists must be operating under the school threefold: About, concentration and wisdom. a. About the block, catch hold evil thoughts, hopes not mind it arises. About the high walls prevent enemy afflictions, the army up except the satanic elite. About the lamp bulb covered position-wise, do not let ignorance wind blowing off or agitated. b. The body and mind are allowed to make the province; meditation is samadhi. As all the lights when the wind is perturbed, focus the light, the remote screening. The glass of water as a place to be left alone, for as many will settle to the bottom grimy glass. The silent lake as water, can reflect flat clear sky plants. c. Hue is the light, the emitted light with its amazing how much, guys practice makes clear that knowing the true form of human life, the universe origin of suffering, the path to liberation whole. When learned properly, the same throughout, so obviously, the variable called Right location. Intelligence reaching this level of understanding is obviously became supreme Buddha or Buddhism. Doing so, called the wisdom of the Buddha nature care that we each are available for the potential in our state.
