A true renunciation, we first need to understand the importance of an orderly life, manners, discipline. If there is no discipline in the religious life, we hardly overcome the afflictions of desire. Because the sexual delusions as mad buffalos, can seduce, entice us into the way of evil ghost. Many people want to make a personal transformation, but more dangerously propelled them into life on the road wheel nuts, because no one lives cleverly organized framework, masonry nep.Vi that, at the point of nirvana, Germany Buddha taught his disciples to do the precepts I get. In herd of Zen painting, the rule is represented by the string nose.

Some people understand Zen wrong way, for that teaching "old karma Depending coast, innocently dressed in Siamese" , or "sleep hungry tired" of Zen meditation means undertakings freely, no need to follow the ritual propriety. In fact, freedom is not heedless let loose, do whatever they want. Freedom and discipline are inseparable, though morality in everyday life or in the direction. Shurangama Sutra, the Buddha teaches: " If not precepts, whether achieved meditation, also falls in ghosts. " For the teacher, recognized by and living with one's own Buddha nature, should the innocent , charming custom that comes from nature and the actions manifest. They live freely in order, to move up and down, are also reversible nothing ethically. As for us, if not completely live with a pure heart shall never forget the precepts to preserve, never assimilated the liberal order in the ranks of the enlightened liberal freedom ordinary man's death continue.

Buddhism is a religion not a theocratic heavy, but returned for the value of human capital; man is master of his own universe. So Buddhism is self-directed, based on causal and moral human spirit is very high. Typically, in trouble or anything like that pain, we tend to blame others but forget to see her look guilty or not. Buddha, from countless lifetimes, due to the body's mouth we have created so much bad karma, then by being professional life, forever in the vicious cycle of birth and death. These calls are lucky or risk, or the plaintive call to his grace, are way feel himself has sown too early before. There's, plus the supporting grace, must be given effect. The reason is a causal eternal truth, so people know the law always have a sense of responsibility and self-reliance, not outwardly seek, never blaming anyone.

At close to nirvana Buddha, he asked Ananda Buddha four issues as follows:

            1. Dependence on how to stay legal?

              - Dependence on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness.

            2. After Buddha's, who do I get?

              - Take the precepts as master.

            3. Starting a business record, right?

              - As the Russians.

            4. Bhikkhu how political evil nature?

              - Treatment by wearing tons.

Here we only issue the rule table. Indeed, the rule is the supreme masters of every quarter we Buddhism. Whether we're practicing dharma, nor to the route are three ways of learning world - the - wisdom. Keep all the world is to stop evil, do everything well healed, established itself as a fundamental moral life. Home people want to build high floor intellectual foundation to build strong discipline.

At the time of the Buddha was alive, every year from April to the fifteenth fifteenth of July, the monks must perform specific diet, that is still in an abode where the photographic collection based, international effort to practice - to - Property. The first reason Buddha pose this mode is lower than in three months, in India rainfall, flooding both paths, then insects proliferate, so go impediment to preaching and numerous reduced dead insects. After three months of detention, found many Buddhist monks attained Sainthood, by limiting travel, down the coast and avoid drastic practice. As a result it should after this detention regime in the three months to settle down forever remain in the Sangha.

An apartment must go hand in hand with fetters world. Of monks living in this time other than the normal days. The normal day, due to the messy fate, the method may offend the tourists, sangha discipline in the loose. But in three months of summer, everything is neatly arranged, monks only limited movement in the premises of the monastery; only have a special charm, new world to please release is out. At first glance, the monks seem to spare, do not bother because livelihood support through Buddhist offerings; but the inner truth of the results is a battle field! A close to his face in a very strict discipline, on the other hand fought tirelessly to include habitual afflictions. Thus, after the rainy period, if the elite does hold serious efforts to study, it would force the province has made significant progress. Where serious religious organizations will be able to produce the way out, even if the organization will loose hard training load increases. Thus, if the part of the job sorted, avoid down the coast, can annually organized for a certain time to retreat.

As stated above, the practice does not mean focusing only three months in summer, because it is a continuous process and the vision. However, on normal days, so have to do much given the emotional context dependent, so the end dues not strong in body and mind at peace in a time of environmental purity, and mass concentration. Especially with young Monks, lower case is also a good place to get close and learn about morality and religious basis of the hierarchy with respect to details, the old respected religious teachers have enlightenment process.

Back discipline problems, besides applying for individual practitioners, there are general principles of collective life Sangha. The spirit of living harmoniously together is motivating Sangha development and perfection, which is the focus of equality: equality of material (cylindrical body sociable, sociable military interests) , equality in law mode (initiates world peace) , harmony in thought and speech (address is harmonious, the harmonious browser, no import avoid air) . Thanks to this spirit should live mass harmony of form to content, such as the Buddha's teachings: "To be stable upon Sangha, the monks to rein difficult to rein in, to the friendly monks are stable fixed itself " . Purity of body and mind in harmony individual and collective life is the deeper meaning of the word and the noble Sangha (Sangha).

Flower Adornment Sutra, the Buddha said: "About the root of Bodhi, Nirvana's gateway, is being taken boats across the sea of life and death" . Buddhist precepts is not dogma, the rigid regulations, which are the principle activities have voluntary practice. Every person has the right to keep or not respected, and enjoy themselves good results or bad depending suffer the consequences of their actions. Purification of religious life by way of discipline not especially important to the community and the individual clergy ordained clergy, but also the profound impact the surrounding environment and society as a whole . Because everyone has a relationship with people of all organic material, so the monks with three pure business sense will be very large for the community, not only by teachers but also by relative export education. Thus, pure harmony Sangha will help purify human, thereby contributing to social security.

Positive preserve the world prohibit content first and fundamental, and always has been featured in a lifetime reminder of monastic practice. From that first basic step, new home person deserves Sons Tathagata, who is the restaurant Increased security measures in the air, bringing the world to build dharma, dharma bones make intelligent, elegant all beings Thanks weapons legal. /.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGHTFOLD PATH .NAM MO SAKYA MUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.7/6/2014.
