A true renunciation, we first need to understand the importance of a life of discipline, rules, rules. If there is no discipline in the religious life, so difficult to overcome desire afflictions. Because, sexual delusion that as crazy buffalo, can seduce, entice us into way that demon style.
many who want to do the conversion yourself, but habits and life itself led them into the cycle path optimistic, because there is no well-organized life part suffering, hit nep.Vi, at the point of nirvana, the Buddha taught his disciples to to take precepts do mine. In herd of Zen painting, the rules are represented by the string nose.
Meditation Some people understand the wrong way, for the that teaching "Depending coast of old karma, happy, wearing clothes" , or "hungry eat sleep tired " of Zen meditation means undertakings freely, without rules rituals. In fact, freedom is not let loose distraction, want to do what they do. Freedom can not be separated and discipline, morality, whether in daily life or in the lead. Shurangama Sutra, the Buddha taught: " If you do not keep precepts, whether achieved meditation, also falls in ma. " For the teacher, so get out there and living with our own Buddha nature, should so innocent , depending on conditions it arises from the nature and expression of action. They live a free, up and down, reversible what are ethically. As for us, if not completely live with a pure heart, never forget the rules to preserve, never to be assimilated to the liberation of the liberal advances were realized with the bohemian freedom of ordinary guys keep death.
Buddhism is a religion not theocratic heavy, but returned to the inherent human values; person is the owner of the universe and of ourselves. So Buddhism is self-directed, based on the principles of cause and effect and have a very high morale. Often, sufferings story or anything like that, we tend to blame others but forget to look back to see his fault or not. Buddha, from countless lifetimes, so our body, mouth and mind has created many evil deeds, and the karmic life, stuck forever in the cycle of birth and death. These things called lucky or risk, the so-called grace, or resentment to me, are way feel himself had sown too early. , Plus additional support conditions, certain results. Of cause and effect is an eternal truth, should understand religion always have a sense of responsibility and self-reliance, not outwardly seek, nor never blame anyone.
When Buddha was near nirvana, he A- Buddha asked four questions are as follows: 1. Depend in any way to the head? - Relying on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. 2. After the Buddha's passing, marry me? - Get the rules to me. 3. Starting a business writing text? - As market fell documents. 4. Treated by nature evil monk? - Blogs by wearing tan. Here we only discuss discipline issues. Indeed the rule is the supreme teacher of the Buddha himself. Whether we are religious in practice, also be according to the schedule three ways of learning - for wisdom. Morality is to stop all evil, every good behavior, build yourself a basic moral life. Ordained to build the intellectual high floor, to build a foundation strong discipline. At the time of the Buddha s time, full moon full moon each year from April to July, the monks must retreat mode, that is still in place a home to collection of the photography, effort, practice-of-wisdom. First causes the Buddha put this mode, because in the three months of summer, in India rainfall, water flooded the aisles, then insects proliferate, should interfere with the preaching and radio the walking dead insects. After three months of detention, the Buddha found that many monks attained Sainthood, by limiting travel, avoid less drastic conditions and practice. As a result it should be the latter, the detention regime at home in three months down the sustain in the Sangha. retreat in parallel with fetters world. Of the monks living in this time other than on weekdays. The normal day, by the grace of the messy, can travel to the Buddhist discipline the sangha when loose. But in the three months of summer, everything is neat arrangements, monks travel only limited within the premises of the monastery; only the coast especially, have to zoom in the new world is out. At first glance, monks seemed free time, do not bother about support for livelihoods through Buddhist offerings; but the inner truth of the results is a battle field! The one hand, to shut yourself in a very strict discipline, on the other hand had to fight without respite to include gas afflictions. So, after their fetters down, if you keep strictly elite, study efforts, the provincial force, there will be significant progress. Where serious religious organizations will be able to produce the output, even if the organization will loose hard training load increases. Thus, ordained that if you sort the job, to avoid slowing down the coast, every year can be held for a certain period of time for self. As stated above, the practice does not mean focused in the three months of summer, because it is a continuous process and telecommunications. However, on normal days, so do many of the Buddhist to contact charming scene, so a strong over dues body and mind not by their stay in a calm environment, the same mass concentration. Especially with the young monks, the lower is convenient to be close, learn about morality and religious establishments of the clergy religious sufficient, the German high-grade direct process from them. Back discipline problems, in addition to the application for individual practitioners, there are other principles living in collective Sangha. Public spirit harmoniously head is the driving force behind development and perfection Sangha, which is central to equality: equality of material (themselves along the head, the Air Force) , equality in law settings (along vows) , harmony in thought and speech (its sociable address, sociable browser, exporter harmonic infinite avoid) . By living in the spirit of this mass should be harmony between form and content, such as the Buddha's teaching: "To the Sangha be stable upon, to hold back the monks hard to hold back, to the good monks were wrong fixed itself " . Body and mind pure individual and collective harmony in life is profound and noble sense of the word Sangha (Sangha). Flower Adornment Sutra, the Buddha said: "Sex is the root of the Bodhi gateway of Nirvana, boat put beings through the sea of life and death " . Buddhist precepts are not dogmatic, rigid legal rules, which is the principle of religious activities is voluntary. Each person has the right to maintain respect or not, and I get good results it or suffer the consequences his actions. Purification of religious life by way of the rules not only have special importance for the monastic community and the individual priest ordained, but also a profound impact to the environment and society as a whole . Because everyone has a relationship with all things organic, so with three pure monk will be very touched to the community, not only voice but also by themselves Catholics. Therefore, the pure harmonious Sangha will help purify the human, thereby contributing to social security. actively preserve prohibits gender is the first and fundamental, has always been high and prompts during life practice of the monastic life. From the first basic step, new home person worthy chief Tathagata, is the legal gases in the Sangha, brought Buddhism to build the world, make bone Buddhism proving, all beings are clever Thank universal law. /.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.MHDT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUNS=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.18/11/2012.NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
