Refuge in the Buddha Shakyamuni period The first refuge of elder parents Yassa is a wealthy man. Yassa one day he awoke to see many waiters sleep is listed, including who opened his eyes, the eyes closed, the drooling, snoring people who moan. Image not so beautiful things that make Yassa boring, sad to leave, but do not really know where to go. One day, he went out of the house. Buddha found his affinity Yassa Yassa went corona discharge given to the Buddha, Buddha, soon Yassa hear teachings and happy home, not how long it has achieved enlightenment. The next morning, the parents and friends of the 54 missing Yassa said he should together seek. They went to the Buddha, the Buddha heard Sermon finished instant Development Center Three Refuges. Buddha said: "You will find complete refuge in you." It was the first two refuge. Previously, there were two young merchant in Burma have taken refuge under French protection II ie the Buddha, the refuge in France. At that time the church has no Sangha should only dual protection.

 

So what are the Three Refuges?

 

Three are three, shall be returned, Three Refuges is returned to rely on the Three Jewels: Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Rite refuge: to have the ceremony as lights flower, fruit, glass center of monks worship. Place of Refuge: probably a temple, be it home. Temple is more reasonable refuge. Buddhists make up today Bodhi monastery to seek refuge and select master guru who guides his refuge to learn religion, understanding the Dhamma. Once the refuge then public should know that the temple is also common for people temple practice. Monk was shown by your finger shows the moon. The monk was not the moon. Therefore you should themselves enjoy the beauty of the moon, it rounded bright, shimmering, subtle and brilliant, not to contemplate how long or short fingers, good or bad, have scabies or mange no.

 

Refuge Dharma refuge in the Three Jewels is to practice. The ancient saying: '' Health care law no mercy '. That is based on the approach to repairing hearts and minds, not based on any particular person. Subjects refuge is refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.

 

Why refuge in Buddha?   Refuge Buddha because Buddha is a truly enlightened people see the truth. Truth and His answers may help us end suffering. We can boast a king Buddha attained enlightenment. His lifelong service to all beings. From his position as a king, he cut off the extra intense love royalty, remove cling arms of bride, leaving her baby born newly opened eyes still inside the womb. Human hero character that has gone with all sense of escapism that escapism that still reverberate until today. All of us sitting here are influenced by the renunciation of Buddha escapism.

 

10 years ago we lived in Buddhist Sangha in the UK. Everyday look teachers, even the European and American masters, high nose, white, beautiful - the people who left all the fame, properties, love, family, spouses, children, five desires earth to wear robes, perfectly luminous minister, Lord Buddha diligently every day, meditate ... we had tears. Because the image is too beautiful, too holy. And we see very great Buddha by his teachings over thousands of years is still alive.

 

Why Refuge France? Refuge France for the teaching of the Buddha has the ability to help us suffer less, to practice his teachings help us liberate the negativity. Theravada Buddhist magazine No. 8 have posted messages criticized Secretary General Ban Ki Moon UN send Vesak Vesak festival in the world: '' The Buddha, the birth, enlightenment and Nirvana's He is we celebrate each year on  Vesak full moon in April, has left humanity doctrine treasure deep and broad repertoire that philosophy can orient efforts to resolve the serious problems which we we are facing in the world today.

 

His injunction against the three poisons, that is greed, and delusion Anger. Injunctions that may arouse the multilateral talks on the famine is affecting almost one billion people in the rich world of ours, about the brutal violence, the lives of thousands people each year, and about environmental destruction with impunity, causing harm to the only home of ours, the earth that we live in. ''

We see the Buddha and his teachings too great. Buddha's teachings have conveyed the message too big compassion for humanity, promoting compassionate wisdom for humanity right view. His teachings are great culture for humanity, is the spirit of nonviolence to IOC Annual Council held a ceremony on World Vesak Vesak gathering Buddhist traditions to attend. France has two, the French study and practice, so we Refuge refuge in France France is the study and practice of refuge. France has 84 thousand school is the practice, the golden rule of the Buddha preaching for 45 years. The practice is the quintessence teachings, people have the ability to act according to enlightenment, to end suffering, enlightenment, no rebirth.

 

Why Sangha ? Increase Pali called Sangha, Sangha means, disciple of Buddha. Increase Bible classes increased two and Qualities increase. Holy are those who have evidence  attained the status of a Stream-winner to Ala drought. Ordinary monks are the workout is the practice to reach the attainment of liberation. They just practice just guiding the men to follow right path to enlightenment of the Buddhas, the image of the pants he was being pedantic, is blessed by the gods and fill mankind. Therefore refuge increase is to affirm our faith to Buddhism in this life, thereby continuing right of truth practice under the guidance of counterfeit goods As hybrid origin, it is good to see the Buddhist factor in the future.

Time Lord Buddha in the world , Mr. Anathapindika after Buddha sought refuge land made ​​offerings to Buddhist temples. He also saw two three dozen samples to build Vihara Member States. Every day he invited 500 monks for alms, offerings to the gods in the house that he was jealous because they have avarice. Devas have advised him not to grant her only merit Toxic Asset much too vulnerable to depletion.

The first case of Buddhists hope that we should not do, because of his apostasy follow another religion is something immoral morality and unfaithful heart, grateful. Thanks How do people die, the heavy karma. However, because the circumstances required us to be in a different religion, then remember that the Buddha in mind, do good and avoid evil, keeping a clean mind, it is also true refuge. Case   two is inevitable that the world, when death was broken Tam regulations. However, according to Buddhism, death is a change of life, ranging from form to another form, depending evil mind and our karma. If people do improve, changes leisurely scenes, evildoers change woeful. Who have taken refuge, death off refuge, thanks to being blessed refuge leisurely scenes, in which they continue   to meet the Dharma and refuge

 

How are impurities refuge?

 

You have refuge in the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha, who believe karmic justice but for greed to worship other gods, praying begging other household gods beyond Buddha, Sangha such external call the impurities refuge. Impurities are being defilements center by objects outside the three security theocratic, inhuman in nature, far from causal, superstition etc. ... especially not the right view. Buddha taught people right understanding of reincarnation will not infinite.

 

So happiness or misery that is blessed by the minh.Toi or created by his mind, only good or bad mind, our mind only altruistic or selfish.

 

 

TEAM ABOUT

 

 Sanskrit is PANCA SILA, is fundamental precepts of Buddhism, the basis of human morality. Buddha taught, there are four continents of the world, we live in South Asia improved the life expectancy of 100 years, while people in the North cu save European origin people living 1000 years old, the natural precepts, ie anyone born in This land has kept the precepts, so dear human beings view network havoc.

One day, she was dead of heart attack at 50 years old new. Husband mourn piteously crying. We do one thing, and that by killing her, so much so harmful organisms resentment pile now fast approaching and to die from sudden death.

 

Usually, people do live from 1 to 59 years who dies prematurely called life. Epitaph usually recorded positive effects. And over 60 years which is the age dies record. People should live to 80 years old, very precious.

In summary this world who keep most prestigious in society, and dear friends, family happiness and social peace. World retribution holder will have high power, status in society.

 

Keep instructions not to drink alcohol and intoxicants is a taboo in the Buddha. Thus alcohol was forbidden, nor was drinking beer and other intoxicating substances true Buddhists are not allowed. Why this law prohibits the Buddha? Because he knew that alcohol and intoxicants corrupt risk itself, the family is not happy, society is not a saint. Notably more alcohol too, when birth rate less intelligent of them . Quality drunk whose functions do present and our future staid, less wise and may lead to neurological, until it ourselves and those around them suffer even more pain. Respect all, we try to keep things this study.
