10 legal Paramita
"Be active for the welfare of others." - Sutta Nipata.
C ó ten noble virtues surpassed secular called parami (Paramita) [1], which are bodhisattvas practice round enough to attain Enlightenment (Samma Sambuddha).
Muoi Ba legal La Password is: Giving (Dana), Precepts (Sila), Monks (Nekkhamma), Wisdom (Panna), Diligence (Viriya), patience (Khanti), True (Sacca), Decision Making (Adhitthana ), Metta (Metta) and Mind Drain (Upekkhā).
According to the explanation in economic Cariya Pitaka, stained Paramita not selfish, not watering the wrong connotations and conceit. Paramita guided by wisdom and compassion cultivated by alluvial cover.
Bodhisattva Action of absolute selflessness. With countless virtues of compassion, boundless charity, through many lifetimes, and his relentless efforts to improve material life and spiritual poverty for poor people, help people in thousands how to reduce negativity and for all beings.
A bodhisattva not think of an interesting effect Serenity while his friend was in labor for pain. To alleviate somewhat the suffering of humanity and Bodhisattvas are willing to sacrifice all of the most precious possessions, their lives to be, unfortunately not.
Jataka story in "Vyaghri Jataka "is an example.
Bodhisattva Although that never do anything without thinking ahead, and he is always happy to create peace and happiness for all, do not forget to leave a tiny beings do. Heart full of compassion, but the balance is always assigned his mind. And while in service, he does not need a power forward or a material interest in the world. When action worthy fame naturally, no need to run after it. Bodhisattva totally selfless, always live for others, never thinking of himself. There's no point selfishness, pettiness oil go further, a Bodhisattva mind.
Economics Dhammapada (Dp) with the sentence:
"Let the laity and the main Bhikkhu think we've done it right. During every job, big oil, little oil, just to remind them to do. It is the aspiration of the wild si. Thinking Thus, the ambition and conceit will grow ".A bodhisattva never minded selfish and narrow-minded way. [2]
1 of Giving (Dana)
Giving or generosity, is the first Paramita while performing two realized practitioner is good karma: banish thoughts selfish, evil, and developing ideological altruism, pure. Giving is a joy, a blessing to all who donated, and for life management.
Bodhisattva no wonder that people learn things they want to, or confers a privilege, is in shortage what that is. He gives up his material without running for. His generosity for generosity, but also to kill time any longer latent homosexuality in mind. The joy of serving others naturally. Alleviate the suffering of living beings is a different happiness by giving alms.
Affection of a true bodhisattva is immense. His compassion spread out for all creatures. But when alms, do not close your eyes to sweep him. Generosity as giving may not become blind. If there is a guzzler and with the help of Him and He knows for sure who will receive this gift to be used in an inappropriate manner, Bodhisattva will not hesitate to refuse. Put the generosity of a wrong action is not Paramita (parami).
When helping a person for legitimate reasons, the Bodhisattva does not seem important route expressed self-esteem or narcissism; on the contrary, saw a golden opportunity to do his duty should be ready and happy to serve others humbly. He never saw himself above anyone because that person probably ask yourself. When help, he does not see it as mercy, nor seen her the gift of life to have his help. Bodhisattvas do something just because it's the right thing, not looking for fame, do not expect to repay.
Bodhisattva not miss a chance to serve others, but not condescending beg favors. Brahma Jataka Jataka (No. 323) to report that a bodhisattva religious life in the royal gardens grace. King visited daily and provides all the supplies, but anyway the king could not see all of his needs. Sandals and tattered umbrella of the Bodhisattva has damaged the twelve years that king or not. He did not open his lips. One day the king was. Prior modest gesture but strangely so, the king asked him why? He replied:
"Your majesty, who prayed that would not be sad, because other people who are not able to help, the more grief."
Bodhisattva for the unspeakable, irrespective of caste , race or religion, but do not wish others never returned. One of the characteristics is his motto perfectly. Poet Edward Dyer praised her virtue in a few lines of poetry:
"Some people have so much but still desire,Kanha Jataka Jataka (No. 440) has recorded that one day the sky Sakka heard the title King Bodhisattva The other one is a model, there are many virtuous king was impressed sun dress, white respectfully ask him to say need food donations paid for the king. Bodhisattva fun please be accomplished four wishes:
but felt I had little enough
Themselves "poor", although the amount of forest, silver tank.
And I "wealthy", but empty pockets.
1 Wish I no anger, no malice or troubles with their neighbors;Hearing that, although extremely impressed, sun king Sakka disappointed then please select add something else to the king offerings. Bodhisattva replied:
2. I wish no desire for possessions of their neighbors;
3. I wish people who do not own homosexuality;
4. I wish equanimity.
"No matter where I live that deep forest, where I was alone, let me be healthy. because ill will disturb the quiet life and do elaborate obstacle my meditation. "
Sun King Sakka thought: "It is not false rumors. Bodhisattva Kanha is indeed wise, rather than the desire to satisfy physical needs, he only needed to choose life virtuous life. "
Sun King Sakka third time the Bodhisattva please select a different item to what offerings. Bodhisattva replied: "Emperor Wudi, I have a desire to add more. Regardless of where not a single being hurt my body, not a living being harmful to my mind, that is the word my prayers. "
generosity of a Bodhisattva's not the same. Him for all: wealth, property, career. He could for the throne, even the king, an arm, a leg, until his wife, and children. To life, he did not hesitate to devote to creating happiness for mankind.
Vessantara Jataka Jataka (No. 547) with art that Prince Vessantara, when he was eight years old, there was honestly think that:
"If a the other day someone needs to our hearts, we will manually chest surgery, moi heart out. If someone needs to grab the eye, we will hook courtesy eyes. If someone needs my flesh, and I will hand cut a piece of meat to donate. "
Jataka Jataka Vyaghri also admired recounted a story of a prince and happily willing to sacrifice their lives to bring happiness to others.
During Jatakamala, the story is narrated that:
"One day, a Bodhisattva passing it along a forest with his disciples. He sees a tiger mother with three cubs are near starvation swooning. Cave compassion, who told the disciples to find food for the tiger. But it is an excuse to be left alone with the tiger because he thought:
'Why do we have to go find other living relatives, the food available to us this recipe food for the tigers. Find food elsewhere is one of serendipity, moreover, we might miss a good chance to do duty.
"It was the body of this pollution is the source of much sorrow, how much unhappiness. If we keep holding on tightly to it and if you do not know how to use it to serve others, then it is not wise at all. During life there are only two reasons make people indifferent to suffering of others. It is heart-attachment, bind beings to the pleasures, to hold on to personal happiness, fear of losing it, is a reason to make us indifferent to the suffering of others. Lack charity , lacking the will to help others is a different reason., but we can not happily while others suffer. Which day does not help those who suffer, that day can not secure happiness. So how can we calmly at the sight of dying of starvation and the flock of mother tiger cubs this.
"If we jump into the abyss for a prey for tigers, at least the ones we also used this miserable body into something useful. I will feed the tiger mother, to prevent it from doing evil is eaten it, and also prevent other innocent children flock to die from the clutches of their mother.
"Again, such actions do cites an example of one still desires what is good for, in this life. Ta sacrifice this body to save four lives, to comfort and encourage those little weak, to please the who comprehend the deeper meaning of charity and creating ideal for those who want to live a virtuous life. therefore, this is a rare opportunity to step up to the level once fully enlightened. "
Think so Bo Slapped immediately threw himself into the abyss, sacrificed their lives to healing the original four tiger dying.
According Nevari (Nepala Basha), the tragic tale worthy and meaningful stayed on is narrated as follows:
"In other ancient past there was a king named Maharattha majestic and powerful mind to direct heat. Sultan is Prince Maha three Prashada, Maha Maha Deva and Sattva, all three are gentle and docile.
A bright morning The other nice, the king and the three princes walking in the forest. Look worried landscape forever fascinated with fragrant flowers and grass weird, three princes deeper into the woods.
Quan absent servant found three princes dock with the king. The king immediately commanded to seek views, then dwells in supply prices.
three princes went to a mountain there forever. Standing on a rock looking down, saw a big brother and five tiger cubs in the abyss. Both mother and baby are just skin and bones, lying barely alive. For several days after parturition, the mother tiger could not find food. Bu cubs suckling herds to edit nodes, but dried breast nothing left to feed. Mother tiger looks hungry, is clearly going to eat me.
But he noticed that the tragic situation, just for the children and said: "They look pitiful spectacle of another mind, they have she did not see a tiger? Because too hungry so it is going to eat you for supporting labor. Such a miserable state. "
Maha Sattva asked him: "Tiger eating animals usually cost?" He said that raw meat dish of tiger and lion.
Maha Deva He noted that the mother tiger seemed exhausted, hungry for sure it was a long time ago. Would anyone dare to sacrifice his life for it, you know what. But please anybody to do the great work that.
Maha Prashada said: "Surely no one can do it."
With an emotion, Maha Sattva continued: "I was young, certainly not enough mind, so I think that those least likely place as we can not sacrifice his life to save people., but also full of people living compassion for others. Such persons may kindly devote themselves to save the life of this Friday. "
Three brothers talk like that then go elsewhere.
Maha Sattva thought: "I have to sacrifice to save the life threatening herd this tiger. panels body elements, we bring this is just a pile of pollution has caused me much sorrow, how many sick, handicapped. however that we can present flowers marinate, rub oil for its beautiful, fragrant, but then one day it 'll fishy breath and disintegration. "
He went ahead to tell his two brothers slowly breathtaking scenic character. Wait a second he walked away, he hurried back to the tiger lying undressed tree branch hanging up and thought: "I must positively act for the welfare of others. Must spread kindness to all beings . Serving those who need to do the important tasks. sacrifices I make this impure body panels to save lives for a tiger mother and five children. Due to this worthy action, we would expect that the time step to the senses fully realized, most born to save us from the cycle of suffering. Testament wish all beings are happy and peaceful! "
User spiritual center selfless service, Sattva Prince Maha gently throw myself into the pit , located near the shoal tiger. But the prince is not dead, just badly injured. The other tiger, natural oils and aggressive nature, and the Bodhisattvas pity, could not bear to touch his feet. Bodhisattva think the tiger was too weak and so can not afford their animals to eat. He was crawling to find an instrument to commit suicide. Fortunately, near where the tiger is a piece of bamboo tank. He then picked her private bamboo to death. Him lying in a pool of blood falls. Tiger thirsty and hungry, so take time to find, licking saw a pool of blood and torn Bodhisattva, the food delicious. Minutes remaining only be raised from a pile of bones.
Bodhisattva It added that while suicide for their devotion tiger, moving heaven and earth, the sea billow, the sun suddenly became dark, the scenery becomes dim, all gods to ring in unison: "You instead! Christianity instead!", and from the air, falling like rain Parijata cotton.
before extraordinary spectacle of the heavens and the earth, the two people he was sure that his brother had donated themselves prey to a tiger then.
Both times he went back to find me and appalled at the sight of horror. Where is the silhouette of the person you love. Only red blood point blank bones, tiger belly next flock. Near the rocks, the trees, the Maha clothes Sattva remaining flyaway wind.
Both merciful prince painful labor, tragic weeping and sadness returns to the back with his father.
moment the Bodhisattva body dose save tigers, queen sleeping in the supply cabinet. She dreamed that one of his teeth fall out suddenly and painfully sore heard is like someone with a knife according to flesh out each piece. Looking out the window, saw the queen from the air, an eagle landed in third merciful a beautiful dove is perched on the roof and others away.
taken as horrified Queen, awake, I still remember the three steps in the forest lost. She hurried to find the king narrated a dream omen.
At this moment the news was brought to. Tragic story is narrated. They all touched and wept unspeakable.
solace queen king elephant procession then took two princes suffering was not out of the woods. Meet the father, the two princes choked not speak a word. After all, trying to compress the heart, the two turn to his father and tells everyone the death of the brave noble brother.
prepared horse king ordered the elephant to the queen and to promote tourist places history. Just saw bloody bones are red, the king and queen fell unconscious. Medical Defence hustle provide emergency medicine. For a long time the king and queen slowly woke up. The king gathered hair, bones and clothing to stay in place, then stood admiring previously beloved child. All his men and to show devotion to the noble hero.
king ordered the construction of a stupa inlaid spot gold to worship Bodhisattva dedicated himself to save the tiger. The king and queen leave, heart like a knife cut.
later stupa relics of Maha Bodhisattva Sattva is called "Om Namo Buddha."
Jataka Book recounted further that the present stupa was called "Namura" (Om Namo calling off the Buddha word, meaning revered Buddha).
recounts two stories differ but oil Bodhisattva dedicated himself to saving the tiger is the priest or prince, then That's just physical appearance. A key issue is the mirror sacrifice and altruism contained entirely within.
Traditionally, the book Jataka (Jataka) to copy a certain area are yet to know what the Buddha opportunity He later mentioned. Sanskrit is called that opportunity Nidana (originally built by the leading reason), then the above two stories are Nidana.
characters in the story was not confirmed at the last paragraph in the article as another Jataka.
Nevari Jakarta Book actually seems more full of Sanskrit "Jatakamala" but the root causes of economic Nevara not sure.
terms as a bodhisattva Paramita of Giving, with passages "Carija Pitaka" explained that:
Every time Bo Slapped real gift for someone, He wished him a long life, there is beauty, peace and happiness, health, wisdom and most noble attained Nirvana. For the thirsty, give him drink for drink wish that this was not the solution to the thirst of the physical body but also reduces thirst desire. Board of clothes with him to wish him to know shame and abhorrence of sin. When walking to help him pay means the life's vow to cultivate the mental faculties. Board of incense, his religious life leaders who wish to enjoy the fragrance of the World Germany (Sila). Ban oil and flowers, He willingly pay the recipient will enjoy fame of virtuous life as the Buddha. Makes one seat, he vows to get him the foundation of enlightenment. Help shelter, he wishes he would be helpless for the whole world. Help light, he notes there are five volunteer who received the vision eye type of meat, the eye of wisdom, Divine Eye, the eye of a Buddha, and knowledge seamlessly truth things.
generosity "Lust" and Bodhisattvas People willingly pay to receive the afterglow as the Buddha; "Silence", the word elegant as you gently Brahma; "Scoop", has been able to perfectly elegant and refined as the Buddha; and when one medicine to help Bodhisattvas wish for that person to live forever, that his enlightenment Nirvana.
Bodhisattva break shackles, freeing the slaves in the hope of emancipation and , similarly, round off the shackles of many passions.
compassionate bodhisattva cut glass skin, abandoned children to join his beloved paternal bold large him to all beings. He gave up his wife to do all the world, leaving the throne to inherit the kingdom of justice, fairness, and ethics.
Paragraph experience on not only shows how the altruistic attitude of the bodhisattva but also tell the ongoing efforts of the nonprofit and for his service to mankind. However, the ultimate goal is to become a Buddhist bodhisattva, and He never forgotten that the ultimate goal.
2 Morality (Sila)
About (Sila) in extraordinary generosity of a Bodhisattva. The word "Sila" in Sanskrit means the rule. About includes the duty to do (caritta) and don'ts (varitta). Act as a parent, do you, as a wife, a husband, do games, do you, do your duty to our ancestors monks, the people who eat in the house, etc. .. are explained clearly and residues economic intermingled Sigalo-vada Sutta.
Praising the sutra, Professor Rhys Davids has said:
"Those who are in a family or in a village located along the Ganga basin (Ganges) being actually useful, because where people live in peace philanthropy, in the noble spirit of justice, where people breathe the air a gentle thing, because the words simple, naive created ... "
And Professor Rhys Davids adds:
"We can also say that people who live in a family or in a village located along the Thames River basin is equally blessed today, because it was (UK) original doctrines taught compassion between people and the Buddha's life was imbued with family, society, and the basis for a solid moral foundation. doctrine was still clear, adequate and appropriate for the UK Today, as ever, was appropriate for the Indians.
"Indeed, today and in the UK, Tibet or the rule of law was still intact organs the effect of it, like other ancient at Rajgir (Rajagaha). What this world, was issued with a spirit of discernment, spacious and healthy is essential to human life and property blessings of peace. "

Besides her duties, the Bodhisattva should also try to avoid the things not to do (Varita Sila), his pair in the rule to live life the ideal of a true devout Buddhist.
Upon clear reasoning and how correctness is the law of cause and effect. Bodhisattva trying to get away from all the evil evil perverted and paddle do all the good things that we can do. His realization that his duty is to be a source of happiness for all and never disturb a living being, human or animal oil.
Everybody respected his life. No one has the right to rob the life of another, widely Bodhisattva love towards all beings, until the small creature crawling beneath, and never killed or hurt a living creature. Human capital available instigated a bestial killing other creatures to eat meat without mercy. Sometimes killing animals for entertainment is now. Oil to feed the network itself or to find fun, no reason to kill a wrongful living creatures or do anything else for a living soul was killed. There are methods cruel, disgusting, also the method that we call humanity for killing. But how beings are suffering a lack compassion. Killing an animal has an underhanded action, let alone kill a human, even though several reasons have been adduced, called righteousness, sometimes called noble, to massacre people kill people .
Bodhisattvas avoid theft, no matter what form, directly or indirectly. In doing so, the virtues simplicity, sincerity and directness can be grown detrimental to human dignity, and makes every effort to keep himself completely clean.
said he did not lie, do not say crude crusty hole, did not say what this man can do for other people complaining, do not say those words in vain. You just say the words ethereal courteous, honest, rubbed easy, words can bring other circumstances harmony, peace and happiness status, and useful words.
Bodhisattva can not use food costs toxic or can make wise spiritual loss. On the contrary, he always exercise the mind dwells, the position is clear.
Though there have been marginalized way, Bodhisattvas not to chase to commit to a certain basic principles in order to control his actions and words. To keep year round, excluding the Bodhisattva when to sacrifice property and business, but also a few cases where he must sacrifice threatening.
should not be mistaken for that of samsara, a Bodhisattva must completely clean. Have incarnated as human beings in the world, he also has disadvantages and mistakes. Several stories in the Jataka (Jataka) as Kanavera Jataka (No. 318) has described it as a bodhisattva robbers extremely dangerous. However, it is a rare case, more than the norm.
regard to the Bodhisattva who has aspirations to become a Buddha, the serious work of keeping clean discipline is extremely important. Sila Vimamsa Jataka Jataka (No. 362) had stage narrates a Bodhisattva like this:
"Wisdom is something beyond moral wisdom not of value."In Visuddhi of Magga (Path of Purity), Germany Buddhaghosa writes that discipline is the foundation of all virtues:
Directed sound plausible to the press;3 Monks (Nekkhamma)
Living noble, noble expenditures by.

Monks, or away from urban life prosperous social and physical pleasure, is the bodhisattvas that wholeheartedly expect, because of his innate nature is preferred solitude, peace static.
noun Nekkhamma mean rejection of earthly pleasures to take full lives of monks. Nekkhamma also mean a temporary pass from the legal path Nirvana cover (Nivarana) by the empirical Zen story (jhanas).
During all the action, a bodhisattva is never selfish and never dedicated to public ownership for their own, but always altruistic. He never sacrifices his own happiness to create peaceful conditions for others.
Though sometimes, in order to help the public surface facilities and Bodhisattvas can live happily and fully equipped, but always He was not the infatuation of temporary fleeting pleasures of the world.
"Family life is like lair of how things disputes, how many tough, squabbling, as much of the container based deprivation, cover needs, such as place of residence of many things of suffering affliction, how many failures, how many of the left heart., but the lives of people who really love cut glass skin sauntered leisurely profound as the blue sky . "
Recognizing that virtual sumptuous material is legendary and material pleasures do not create true happiness, Bodhisattva voluntarily leave the industry all the world to put on the yellow plate and try to live completely clean . His precepts keep them voluntarily and enhance efforts to sheer virtue to become completely selfless in all activities. Nothing could shake his heart. Reputation, career, circumstances just glorify wealth of earthly treasures, the Bodhisattva can not forget his frugal lifestyle.
Sometimes, as in the Jataka stories Jataka Makhadeva (number 9), only a gray rabbit well enough to remind Bodhisattva, making him give up the bustling atmosphere, the impure, the palaces, to the lonely solitary life and how many times more convenient for the evolution on the path to enlightenment. Sometimes, a dewdrop on the grass in the dawn, sometimes a bitter leaves, was enough to make him wake up.
Almost like it's a rule, but not all bodhisattvas are executive Monks Paramita.
Jakarta Kusa Jataka (No. 531) with built-story art a Bodhisattva has to endure humiliation because no self-love tame a beautiful princess named Pabhavati.
Darimukha Jataka Jataka (No. 378) that Arts has a Single Awareness Buddha (Buddha Pacceka) a day, having a Bodhisattva and admit that before this man is your friend. Single Awareness Buddha and Bodhisattva closer advised:
"The pleasures of sensuality is like the small mud, steam, dust.'s all temporary, unsustainable, because it stems from greed, hatred and delusion . I suggest you abandon it. "
Bodhisattva replied,
"I'm crazy. the earthly pleasures of having penetrated, rooted in the bone marrow. I know that material life so incredibly disgusting , scary, should be avoided. But this noble son of man, I'm loving it and can not give up. I can only try to do something is always voluntary service to others. "
If Portugal Slapped not born to the terms of a Buddha, he will find himself in solitude to live a celibate life of the noble monks. If born in the tenure of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas on their self-discipline to live life completely clean. A monk with exemplary life, a monk ideal, is a source of happiness for ourselves and a blessing to others. Everyone can learn from him, to follow his example and practice the golden words that he taught. Inside, he made himself the clean, outside, and he makes others pure.
A Bodhisattva always diligently cultivated intellect, he also found himself at the same time have an obligation to help those who also faltering, and gives them the opportunity to learn to become wise. Do not bother anyone, did not want anyone to worry because his heavy, and he lived like bees, nectar of flowers, but do not hurt the life of the flower. He abandoned all his career, wealth, do not hold an earthly item expenditure. Needs of a true monk is infrequent. How many of his assets consisting of almond mere contentment.
bhikkhu devoted unquestioning regret the mistakes of the past and fear not worry for the future. You just live in the present, living outside responsibilities and distractions of social life, the family, he is always ready to go no matter where they are born to serve, but not attached somewhere. In the scene where impermanence of earthly temporary, in the ups and downs of it all, he always keeps the mind calm and willing to dedicate themselves to help those who need it. But desire is never Gratitude.
innocence, single, freely afford suffering, poverty, simplicity, selfless serving, and courtly elegance are some characteristics of a true monk .
teacher Bhikkhu is not begging people often mistakenly understood as human life, although Sanskrit "Bhikkhu" means "beggar". A monk is not the mediator between humans and the divine omniscience, omnipotence, and not on the behalf of, a person's right to dominate humans. "Mendicant monk" is probably the closest definition of the word "Bhikkhu."
Today, when using the term "Bhikkhu", it implies that the Buddhist monks. Other religious faiths called Paribbajaka, Ajivaka, etc. .. About Sanyasin Sangha law does not allow head teachers Bhikkhu life all things that people give to yourself. If someone offered, I just received another four ordinary items as: health, food, shelter, and medicine. When you need to use one of four dishes "widgets" that no one was offered to him, he only allowed bhikkhus asked the relatives, or the public benefactor has promised and has had his request for know when you need to. Lay teacher Bhikkhu can not convey thanks to divine prayers, because in Buddhism, there is no power above and beyond any human can receive through the invocation of a religious intermediary officer, to bless or absolution.
teacher Bhikkhu is not required to hold prayers ordained for life. About his suicide in the applying self-discipline to live a clean life of the monks, until the day want to Huon, also voluntarily stepped out of the Sangha. But the day still wearing saffron robes, symbolizing gods Arahat, the godly level (Ung worship), then you Bhikkhu duty to keep them happier. Day no longer felt strong enough to live a noble life, Huon monk may continue at any moment, but did not detract from the door of meditation.
Hills with Bhikkhus, there are four felonies: sexual act, theft, murder and boasted he had to reach high levels of the legal entity which really do not have. That violates one of the four major instant offense was no longer a bhikkhu again (any public office). For example, the public has not yet attained that word has Huon boast that he has attained (guilty Wednesday), immediately he is no longer a bhikkhu again, and was expelled from the Sangha.
Apart four felony that, if the bhikkhus other offense, they must repent.
To live totally pure and selfless, to control and always keep a pure heart, to see clearly the truth of things, to have the right ideas and deep, to be developed by the nobility and dignity of human beings, it is possible to confirm the dignity of noble spirit, not a more appropriate way of life, not What lifestyle also means giving more and more favorable opportunities than life Bhikkhu.
bhikkhu may live in a quiet, secluded, solitary, quiet or active in social activities . Lifestyle solitude, quiet, ideally suited to the monk.
Y Yellow symbolizes purity and modesty. When the monk dressed in saffron robes himself, he has taken aim ultimate goal is to eradicate craving to attain Nirvana Directed fruit.
should also note that Bhikkhu life or in other words, a waiver the pleasures and desires of the worldly life is only a means to achieve an effective target.
Emergence Date, by itself, is not a cure.
4 Wisdom (Panna)
Wisdom (Panna) that accompany Monks.
Paramita Wisdom is a clear understanding and proper, thorough understanding of the truth of things through the light of the three characteristics: impermanence , suffering and non-self. Bodhisattvas are often meditate on the three characteristics that, but do not go deep into topics such as Arhat you, because His purpose is not to stroll through the direction of Act Four Noble Fruit Supreme, Enlightenment.
Wearing Oil has always tried to reach the holy wisdom, the Bodhisattva not despise understanding of life and day-to anyone interested to learn whether, oil, large and small, high and low, on man. Never brag see far out of sight of his wide, but he is not shy to say in public what we do not know. He never said jacket. Bodhisattvas are always willing to teach others. His wisdom is common possession of all people. He never sign anyone anything.
Intellectual three categories:
1 Wisdom arises by listening to the teachings of others (sutamaya panna, Van Hue) is the first of its kind. Formerly, no books, printing, should go to school meant to hear him teach and memorize by heart. Hence the scholars of that time called "bahussuta", who had heard many (multi-cultural).The first two methods only expand their knowledge within the logic of the world. Through meditation, one can experience the intuitive truths beyond the scope of reason. Bhavana, meditation, or a way to cultivate the mind, not the dreamy mood negative which is a dynamic effort and positive. Through meditation practitioner can pass from the realm of the material, put yourself into life discipline, self-interested controlling the quantity relatives, himself awakened and became completely lucid. Meditation is a tonic for mind and mind.
2. The second way of understanding the inference arises, "cintamaya panna", Justice Hue. The nature of scientific knowledge with a pragmatic approach of the West is a product of this way of understanding.
3. The third way to become enlightened wisdom is opened by meditation practice (bhavanamaya panna, Tu Hui).
Intellectual Property is extremely important element in Buddhism. In the Noble Eightfold Path, Right Understanding (Samma-Ditthi) head. Property is one of seven people born fruit Bodhi (Dhamma Vicaya Sambojjhanga). Property is one of four successful ability to Four Additional Spirit (Vimansa Iddhipada, four experimental evidence Kabbalah: Education, anniversary, attacks, wisdom). Wisdom is a spirit in force (Pannabala, Brain Force), and also is one of five control center (Pannindriya, Knowledge Base.)
It is through wisdom that practitioners toward a state of perfect Purity, and Deliverance ultimate.
5 Effort (Viriya)
Diligent closely Intelligence. Diligent Paramita is to maintain energy, persistent effort and determination to achieve the ultimate goal. Diligent here is not the physical capacity, although physical strength as well as a vantage point. Diligent here is mental energy, mental health, is the relentless efforts, diligence positive state of mind activities aimed at serving others. Bodhisattvas are always trying and always confident.
Dr. Tagore, as well as a bodhisattva, drafted poems about happiness diligently, as follows:
"In danger of turning, should not pray to be wrapped. Keep necessary vigor, brave enough, to overcome all obstacles.Jakarta Mahajanaka Jataka (No. 539) clearly describe how the Paramita of Diligence of a Bodhisattva:
"In suffering, should not pray, anyone expecting salvation. Just mind and have enough courage to tame it.
"should not be a passive life in fear and anxiety awaited a ruling which to save. Must always tirelessly strive to continuously the same period, to get us freed. "
Going beyond the seas, sinking boats of Bodhisattvas. For seven consecutive days, not a minute of boredom, despair not, he always fought until being rescued.
failure is a step to success. Obstacles, adversity can only make recommendations bodhisattva increase the power and strive location. Risk variables only for his courage. Difficult Run only heavy guys even debilitating weaknesses, obstacles only lose heart who lack vigor, Bodhisattva bar his passage through all difficulties and overcome all obstacles. He directed the final goal and nothing makes him slack step.
When Mara advised to give up the fight, he did not hesitate to answer:
"For us, death in battle against lust longer than the cross section honors life of failure. "
Bodhisattva wisdom to serve. He also used diligently for the welfare of others. Instead of focusing efforts on the insular lifestyle and personal goals to achieve, his efforts towards the extensive road works, universal desire to create happiness for all beings generally enjoy. Not tired, bored, always positive Bodhisattva create wellbeing for all, not some hidden meaning profit, not expecting a privilege.
Standing on a vehicle, the Paramita of Diligence Wisdom is more important than Paramita. In the Noble Eightfold Path, Right Effort (Samma Vayama or Viriya) is to prevent them from arising unwholesome thoughts arise, and do not give good ideas have arisen as flourish and add up. Effort is one of seven Factors of Enlightenment, or seven fruits Bodhi's birth (Viriya sambojjhanga, Effort Enlightenment). Effort is one of the Four Quartet Op Than or Additional Information (Viriyiddhipada, Tan Thong). Diligent is the impact of four tries righteous path (Sammappadhana, Tu Chanh Need) ie diligently to maintain and improve existing measures do not have arisen dhamma. Diligent has legal eradicate evil and prevent the evil law can not arise. Effort is one of five mental faculties (Viriya Bala, Attack Force), and is one of five control center (Viriya Indriya, Tan Base).
Diligent's approach "unique shore" (Paramita), a tasks they perform are ripe. Diligent an agreement with Intellectual extremely vital capacity can finish everything.
6 Rings Complaint (Khanti)
patience is as important as Diligent.
Rings Complaint Paramita is to endure the afflictions that cause others to suffer for his and others' mistakes.
Bodhisattva executive Rings Complaint to the extent, if to cut off an arm or a leg is not annoying frustrations.
A volume in the Jataka stories Khantivadi Jataka (No. 313) shows that not only fun drawing Bodhisattva received the torment caused by a drunken king commanded mercilessly. The king ordered to cut hands, feet, nose, ears Bodhisattva, but he still took heart from dealing with brutal honestly wish for peace king was happy.
Finally, fell lying in a pool of blood, Bodhisattva uttered a prayer:
"Threshold king vows longevity. Though cruel hand of Miyazaki mutilated and cut my arms and legs, a pure heart never knew resentment."
When Bodhisattva Who is hurting him think:
"He hurt us today was probably acquainted with me in a past life does, and accidental or intentional, we were unfairly left column with him.'s also possible this is a bad result but we have sown the seeds of recovery in the past. Chinh this is a result of our evil actions in the past. come back Why grudge against harm us? "
If someone falls chronic teasing or aggression to the Bodhisattva, he also keeps the mind calm.
Regarding patient virtue, in doing Kakacupama Sutta, the Buddha said:
"Oil has to catch the robbers with swords and severed human limbs go again, always keeping in mind clean, as if to mind thoughts unfair that you were not made in accordance with the teachings of the Tathagata.
"Be diligent practice to be like this: a mind always clean. Never uttered a bad word. Leniency generosity, compassion with kindness. No anger, no malice to anyone.
"thoughts of human compassion should cover all living beings, so cruel gangsters. every day trying to do so, the whole world will be available to a love the vast, vast, every day a developer, boundless, immeasurable, a love brings peace for all and all regarded as a homogenous body. "
As Buddhists, we try to executive clemency and patience. Rather than see the evil of others, try to find the good in everyone, everything.
7 True (Sacca)
is True Paramita Saturday.
Sacca (true) means to keep a promise. It is a characteristic of the Bodhisattva, always act in accordance with his words and actions speak (Yathavadi tathakari, yathakari tathavadi, said stars do it, how to say so).
According to Harita Jataka Jataka (No. 431), Bodhisattva never uttered a single word that he himself does not think so, and if you have to commit to one of four of the five precepts of abstinence, he is not lying.
Chan That is the lodestar of Bodhisattvas. He considered himself obliged to always keep it. Before you promise someone something, he thought prudent. When uttered words then decided to keep oil have also sacrificed their lives to acquiesce.
During Hiri Jataka Jataka (No. 363), Bodhisattva counsel:
"It is done for the period was promise. Must know refused to promise not to do things. Tier intellectuals do not want charity close to class liar. "
Sutasoma Maha Jataka Jataka (No. 537) also documented a conversation area Bodhisattva sacrificed their lives to keep the promise.
"Like the morning star that we see the morning sky. days like today, quietly appeared in its place, wrong not run. Years passed, and the morning star still medical appointments. wise words also have true knowledge. must never deviate from the truth, do not bilk. "
true bodhisattva is upright, honest and clean. What do you think said this compromise and always thought, word and deed.
During all that, he is always right and never wrong to run straight. No lies, no wrong exaggerating slightly between mind and body and his speech. How private life, public life like that, do not use the word Bodhisattva sycophantic to buy other people's hearts, not the time to be the most enthusiastic praise, unostentatious goodness, nor conceal his evil. He praised those worthy of praise, blame those who should be despised, and to do so, do not have any reason other than compassion.
Bodhisattva But do not tell the whole truth.
truth does not benefit and happiness for others, He did not say. Conversely, any true benefit to anyone else, oil has lost their way, he also said.
Bodhisattva's words of respect and honor your words.
8 Decision Making (Adhitthana)
Adhitthana is definitely Decisions. This decision greatly enhances the Bodhisattva of other legal Paramita. We can compare the Justice Decision Making with the foundation of a large building. Thanks to the heroic strength of an estate will rot, Bodhisattva smashed the obstacles strewn on the road. He insisted look right, straight to the goal. Sickness, sorrow, failure, etc. .. does not make him nap forgotten sacred mission.
As Bodhisattva Gotama (Gautama), has decided to give up his throne and royal life to find perfect enlightenment whole. In the six years he strives incredibly strong, endured much suffering and afford to deal with so many difficulties. Then came the decisive moment, when you need outside help than ever before, the five disciples left him to go back. His perseverance has a crush on a more tried and tried until times more accomplished the ultimate goal.
"Between strive jungle alone.'re welcome sway his decision, not the Bodhisattva other solid mountain rock. weathered Storm constant deluge, such as mountain dragon staying power, struggle sky.
Bodhisattva The decision as hard as iron, stable as a mountain. His self-imposed rules to life and what makes him away from her life regulated. encourage doing good is a very easy job, but no one could incite him to act contrary principles. Sometimes Bodhisattva soft and gentle as a flower ears, and in many cases, he proved to be solid and hard as a rock.
9 Center From (Metta)
Heart Of utmost importance in the Paramita.
Sanskrit Metta (From) means gentleness, generosity, kindness and brotherhood. Metta is the threshold lomh honestly pray that every living being, not abolish any tiny living creatures, are happy and peaceful. From the main center (Metta) Bodhisattva urged rejection release his separately to save others. His mind was imbued with boundless infinite love for all, irrespective of caste, race, religion, sex. He is the embodiment of universal love, who do not fear nor be afraid. These animals alone in the middle of the forest place is his best friend and it is by living with this bird species that has nurtured his love and mutual love him. He always cuddled inside an infinite love for all beings.
Metta (Metta) in Buddhism is not a particular affection (pema), nor love is related to the flesh . According to Buddhism, the direct enemy of Metta is resentment and revenge indirect Metta's affection attachment. Affectionately birth fear and sorrow. Metta bring peace, joy and happiness.
should be noted that the implementation of Metta, do not forget yourself. Metta must be spread to others as well as for us. From the mind does not distinguish "us" and "people". From the Buddhist center covers the whole of the cosmos in which everything has one. Dharmapala Maha Jataka Jataka (No. 385), said there is a bodhisattva that young age Metta evenly spread, and are both cruel father ordered his execution, the executioner, the dear mother are poignant lament, and also spread itself slowly to his.
Metta very powerful very mysterious, and this force can sow dread affect those near and those far away. A pure heart has scattered power such kindness can change a healthy data, change evil into good, can make a beast becomes as docile dogs, like cats, making guys look grim 's become a nice person as holy.
Oai mysterious force that is not where to find it strange. It is within everyone's capability. Only a little is done trying to get it.
Buddha once taught:
"We live on a mountain, amidst sweet tigers, and to protect none other than our Metta. Around as lions, tigers, leopards, deer, deer things. Besides the jungle weeds without any fear of our animals and we do not fear any animals. Metta the dread power of supporting, protecting and help us live in peace. "
When we love people, or nature lovers we. Do not have a motive contrast, no hostile vibration, no reverse any ideas Tria can impinge on a person's aura has been Metta protection. Quiet mind is we live in heaven and heavenly scenes created by oneself.
Metta There is no happiness. With people living nearby Metta also enjoyed somewhat cool status. If normal cultivate and express Metta verbal and action, preventing natural curtain between "us" and "people" gradually disappeared, and "we" will coincide with other sentient beings. There is no "us" anymore. We will assimilate all (Sabbattata). That is the ultimate level of Metta, Metta.
A devout Buddhist Centre to take "word" for all living beings and to identify himself with all, irrespective of caste, religion, race, men and women. From the Buddhist center break all attachments between people and people. For true Buddhist, no loved ones who file no stranger enemies, no class outcasts, nor have the class to gentlemen should not dare to fear. From the universal center of Buddhism based on insight. Buddhist Metta build strong brotherhood between all human beings: the Buddhist must be a citizen of this world.
10 Mind Drain (Upekkhā)
Drain Center is the tenth Paramita.
Upekkhā by two base Sanskrit "upa" and "ikkha" that out. "Upa" was justified, righteous, not favoritism. "Ikkha" is seen, comments and inferences. So Upekkhā is seen right, righteous judgment, impartial reasoning, no attachment nor hatred. No fancy nor resentment.
Upekkhā (Discharge) here is not "neutral" as in the conventional sense of it. "Discharge" is not a cold, indifferent, so the film is not, nor is it neutral center, not-happy-not-sad. Drain Paramita extremely important subjects, which is difficult to practice, especially for laity, who are rolling right into the world of impermanence, change. Turn contempt, defamation, curses, is commonplace. Gain and loss, fame and disrepute, praise and censure, gains and losses, suffering and happiness are what often happens in life. Amid the ups and downs of the Bodhisattvas always keep the mind calm. Amid the storms of life, Bodhisattva unmoved. Industrial rigid and solid as a rock between the horns to the sky. It is long-range.
's not funny nor sad. Be praised or blamed, Bodhisattva always calmly, firmly as elephant, tiger strong. The sound does not make him tremble. Lanes mouth tongue touched his connections do not. As wind blows across without being entangled nets in nets, he lived among the market without attachment subtle pleasures of life and impermanence. As showers, cloudy water from the mud, much beyond the glamor world, his own freedom to live in the air, always quiet, always pure and joyful.
"The happiness of depressing, when promoted, downs, one must have a mind like soil.One other important feature is the virtue of bodhisattvas, enlightened and upright. During judging, he kept equanimity should not be affected by desire (chanda), hatred (dosa), fear (bhaya) and delusion (moha) made blind.
well as on land can be hard no matter what, sour oil, sweet oil. cleaning oil, dirty oil, land remains calm However, one ink impassive. Dat is not angry, not pity. " [4]
-oOo-
Through ten Paramita approach so that each Bodhisattvas are trying to practice extreme, we can say that life as a Bodhisattva of the great sacrifices of strict discipline, abandoning all what mundane, is fully enlightened, is patience, honesty, perseverance constantly endeavor, is an iron will, a strong spirit and totally cool. Besides ten Paramita, Portugal Slapped must keep virtuous circle three (Cariya) is:
- Buddhi Cariya, working with wisdom always wise,In three almond, almond second is the welfare of relatives. This is not bias, relatives set up on the other person, but just because these people closer, more personal. This is not a selfish act, which is a rational work. Keep three virtuous circle nice and proper exercise ten Paramita, following the lines that drift karma, birth, death and birth of countless lifetimes, Bodhisattva gradually overcome the storm of misfortune sea constant birth and death.
- Natyattha Cariya, positive activities for the welfare of relatives of relatives, and
- Lokattha Cariya, serving all beings on earth to the direction where perfection.
Sometimes Bodhisattva be reborn as Sakka or a bright sun does. Another time, he was down to the Trop or cowardly, or interesting again to make it last, having done all ten legal circles Paramita, he Tusita heaven arise (Arena Export). Here he waited enough grace period, return to earth to complete the final stage of evolution to rank Enlightenment (Samma Sambuddha).
should not be mistaken Bodhisattva intentionally rebirth in many different realms gathering experience. No one escape the law of karma, the law of Cause and Effect and only decided the future existence of a being. Only Buddhas and Arhats is no longer creating new career and no longer rebirth retribution.
however, thanks to abundant blessings and Bodhisattvas also have some special powers dread. For example, when Brahma beings, whose lives in this realm long chasms, he can use the strong force, which terminates in life and rebirth in one of the ten realms can easily Paramita better.
Glossary Jataka (Jataka) notes that in addition to the Bodhisattva realm that can turn even its rebirth into it (adhimutti-kalakiriya, death at will) there are eighteen other realms that a Bodhisattva, oil not want oil, never reborn. For example, he will not be reborn in circumstances dumb or deaf, or as a being completely wrong (niyata micchaditthi) ie do not believe in the law of cause and effect. Can Bodhisattva is reborn in the animal, the animal form of an elephant and not larger not smaller than mine lazy bird.
depraved he may be in one of four woeful (apaya) but not to the point to forestry into a state of extreme distress this situation. Bodhisattva does not seek rebirth Radio Version disasters (Suddhavasa) is the realm that you A Na Ham, after dropping identified, on which rested prior achievement Arahat. He also does not want to be reborn into the realm Immaterial (arupaloka) because it does not have the opportunity to serve.
could I ask: "A bodhisattva know that countless reincarnations, he will become not become a Buddha? "
Sometimes that, too, when he did not know. According to Jataka (Jataka), Bodhisattva Gotama knew that after hard it tries, he'll Buddha attained. Setti Visayha Jataka tales (No. 340) says that one day Sakka (Sakka) to pay homage to the Buddha and asked why Buddha had infinite power center like that. The Buddha replied that because he did not intend to own a gift awarded in three realms (sphere, sphere Formless) that His purposes are certified fruit Supreme Director, Enlightenment.
contrast , in some other life, such as work life Jotipala [5], not only he did not remember his lofty aspirations but also an insult to the Buddha, the Buddha Kassapa. It should be added that the Buddha Kassapa was directed initiation point, his life up for the last time.
they're the people who take advantage of this precious life to serve the world, we can also become a Bodhisattva. Do not think that the ideal of the Bodhisattva or Bodhisattva, just for a category of excellence. The costs that a person can do it, others can do it. As long as there are enough heroes in their attempts needed, the cost can also be accomplished.
therefore, should also actively endeavor to establish the merit pay state peace for us and for others. And also to pick the lofty ideals and serve perfection is the goal of life.
