Alms Paramita 

 

 

PART I

 

 we now barely know alms, offering a clean and perks! Almsgiving is charity instead of nothing but pure with impure? This does not have to be Buddhist! If not Buddhists say whatever they want, but if the child needs to learn Buddhism, the religion, understand where to choose. There are many of us often proudly say: 'I practice long, vegetarian, chanting for decades already, the Venerable Master said the other from the moment he initiates new, this temple is because I helped from since its beginnings, ..., and the majority were Bodhisattvas in part (ie life Bodhisattva). Life Bodhisattva ie want to step on the Bodhisattva; and Bodhisattva is composed of Luc degrees (Paramita). In particular, the Giving head. Bodhisattva without knowing that giving is not the Bodhisattva. So what is generosity? How many types of generosity? What must Giving: Giving how, when, ...?
Before going to answer please readers demolish this ancient prejudice wrong, for that generosity is bringing donations temple, worshiping me, that's just a minor form of generosity. Not only misunderstood lay Buddhists that even monastic or intentional neglect also want to teach them Buddhist alms only, so always call Buddhist Bodhisattva Development Center (fortune) temple worship , worship Buddha ... Riet then Buddhists do not dare go to the temple anymore, for fear they must worship, if not worship, the fear of crime, should better stay home to finish. It is said people fear crime blessing, there are those who learn that despite sin Buddha blessed, or too ignorant, or those who come to this temple claims to money, the other temple little money, he is rich, the other poor teacher ... Tell praises of mouth that did not, maybe we are import business, not to mention the world committed to the conservative, the contempt of the Bodhisattva.
What is the temple? Why to go to the temple? As Buddhists, we all know the history of the Buddha Shakyamuni, knowing the Four Noble Truths, said life is suffering, said to take refuge in the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma and Sangha). Temple is a place symbolizing Jewels, but where only the Buddha statues and scriptures alone without the monks are not known as the Three Jewels; and ought reasonably to the temple is a place of escape from the mundane process. When entering a temple, scented air with fragrant, with ringing bell sound, and I will feel all the sorrow, hustle of life outside our mind settles down and becomes lightheaded Escape continue. Before entering the temple, one full of negativity, in the temple is bathed in purity (the return to oneself), to dissipate negativity, and when one brings out the purity of the temple always on irrigation at home. Being so, we are known temple.
But the reality is not so. Although our bodies are the temple regularly, but we no longer know what is the real temple again! We have turned into market-dimensional scene temples. Rather than go to the temple to take the first bar, we went to bring the negativity unclean and stuffed into the temple. Rather than go to the temple to ask direct and bring us back to tell your life story I have heard; instead of the temple do work to earn some merit, I went to talk import business people, telling stories to other users. And so, day after month again, one day we reverie, noticed that long since come to the temple which rolls learned anything useful at all. Beijing tapes filled home of Buddhism, yet our minds are still not safe, and looks like greed, hatred and delusion still full, then we panic rushed to the temple to ask for help, the cell or! Sao temple now like a fair way? Find the teacher, the teacher asked the director to just talk away, otherwise I found the call center offerings ... Then I spent about depressed, disgusted and alienated temple! Jewels faith in our increasingly reduced. Where do I know that everything happens for a reason we, that's not natural; which causes the main culprit is me. For I know that, I can not say 'this temple made ​​money, the other temples make money! Why have such bad condition? Because before the temple did not have to learn a decent lead, only theoretical learning for fun, so we have to donations improper, impure. We ourselves have turned into bazaar temples, but now they have to turn ourselves into the temple bazaar as ever, and especially those who have life Bodhisattva. This work may not be a highlight, but all rows laypeople as well as ordained to jointly contribute. But the first thing is that we must be aware of this problem. Yes, we realize the desired new amendment, but if not then there is nothing to say. If consciousness is, then let's hit the road remake his life Buddhists, please do not hesitate courage to study the basic teachings, and bring it applies to everyday life. We have routines that they sit on the ground itself, but the thought in mind in the clouds. Mean by that? Means the level is extremely poor practice, greed, hatred and delusion without subtracting, doing good charity or say unknown but subliminal arguments like emptiness, Prajna, just like reciting the famous Mahayana, etc .. Especially those of any verbatim in kanji, we re ignorant, not understanding. We forget that the Buddha has said: ' If we do not understand our message, it is defame me 'so if we chant Buddhist scriptures without understanding it did not know one day Buddha defame How many times? With the aim to help readers who wish to remake his life, Buddhists, I compiled the 'Giving Paramita', is one of six Bodhisattva. Why just talk about severance Giving without saying all six Bodhisattva? It is up to the situation, depending on the time. Depending on the situation because of Giving is the first well in the meantime and it is easy to practice for laypeople. Depends time because today a lot of Buddhists complain that this temple of money, or who in rich, the other poor teacher ... Giving that knows how it is infinite merit for both giver and recipient. Giving even without knowing how, only a party or any party benefit rolls.

2. Boddhisattva

I. Boddhisattva
Definitions Bodhisattva.
Bodhisattva is told off by scare away Bodhisattva Bodhisattva Bodhi (Sanscrit). Bodhi is enlightenment, Sattva is charming. Bodhisattva means enlightened. Saying so is somewhat dubious, because the Buddha was enlightened, Arhat was enlightened, so other Buddhist Bodhisattva, Arhat other place? There are many interpretations:
1. In terms of the birth: Arhat automated (his degree), the bodhisattva of forgiveness (of people), while the Buddha was feeling happy consummation (of yourself and the person you're done).
2. On a vow is:

- Arhat only bridge escape samsara.
- Bodhisattva is a Buddha who play bridge to the center all living beings from samsara. On the road from the new promo Bodhicitta (Bodhicitta) until the Buddha is called a Bodhisattva.

3. In terms of attainment are:

- Arhat broke the ego, that evidence is 'not self' (Sattvasunyata), no longer attached to a Ta (Atman) exists.
- Bodhisattva is also evidence 'does not fall', but not fully 'not legal' (Dharmasunyata).
- Buddha then broke completely ego and legal collateral, ie see the real nature of things, see the scores students (anutpanna), not kill (anirudha).

4. In terms of the religious:

- Arhat practice the Four Noble Truths, the assistant director of thirty seven.
- Executive Clerk of Bodhisattvas (Giving, Morality, Patience, Effort, Meditation, Wisdom).
- Buddha is like Bodhisattva but the final breakthrough. The above are just preliminary summary of the differences between the Buddha and Bodhisattva and Arhat.

We are products bodhisattva Private Development Center is to focus more on two aspects and the religious vows. Vow is to bodhichitta wish away the Buddha to save living beings from samsara, even the religious are always looking for ways to practice at the time.
II. The importance of vows and dedicate
In Buddhism, we often hear of poisoned ie desire, anger and delusion, they bind us within samsara. And want to escape, we have to clean them by less than desire, extend compassion, cultivating Dharma teachings. Do understand this, many of us 0nen not dare hope for anything, to recite for fun temple that, but not a vow and dedicate mind (in the temple of Beijing are writing vows and dedicate , but because no attention or understand so-called not sincere), when alms giving is that, but did not think anything. Then we give the same is true, because in Zen would say keep 'Mind No', I will not dare to think, dare not hope for anything, just keep the mind not only. If one continues to do so in the next life would forever be reincarnated into a roadside rock, because rock also Mind No, inanimate, do not think, do not know anything. Saha realms that we are here belongs to the realm of Education. Beings here always desire, lust five desires: wealth, beauty, fame, good food, a warm bed. But we forget one thing that all Buddhas become Buddhas manifest in this world, not the Buddha in two realms Sac and Formless. Buddha taught us to forsake the five desires but where have taught us to forsake sexual nirvana (ie the desire to attain Nirvana). In life, when to do something, we usually have a reason and purpose. As a child I went to school, the reason is that we want for our parents so people. The purpose of the study is to be baccalauréat. There baccalaureate to be at the University. At the University a few years to get a degree (diplôme). Yes diploma to go out to work. Working to raise money. There is money to survive or feed their families ... All that 'to' that are the purpose of these actions and our work. When the purpose is to have the expectation. The expectation or desire to be seen as good or bad depending on its purpose ie the object is desired. If we desire sensual pleasures, it is bad because the result is going to suffer, whereas if one desires to learn religion, practice religion, then it's a good desire for results that will liberate us, enjoy the joy of Nirvana. When we desire just recently is called seeking, as we all desire and determination to achieve the goal, it is called prayer. All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are those who seek, made vows in the past. Have I not remember the Buddha Shakyamuni What vows under the Bodhi tree? His prayer: 'Though dried blood, meat pieces, bones dissolve, if not enlightenment (become Buddha) we swear not to leave this place.'
Also read the Jataka (Jataka) tells of the predecessor of the Buddha, we see that whenever we do a happy what, you are the vows and dedication. Development of Buddhist prayer to save sentient beings and dedicate all the merit for Buddhahood.
What is dedication?
Are gathered all to collocate. People do not know much blessed dedication would like employees to have lots of money brought home laden, and then not know what to do with that pile of money.
Let us take an example:
1. We go to the temple to do a work of merit, but in our minds always think of the wealth of joy, the next life will be rich with happiness.
2. Also a merit to it, which I dedicate liberated samsara, then in the next life we ​​will be liberated from samsara.
3. Also a merit to which we dedicate the Buddha surely need a remote life that I will become a Buddha.
Why in the example (1) states the afterlife, for example (2) states the afterlife, and examples (3) says a remote life, meaning by that?
Example (1) talk about wealth as a delight for coats (manteau) worth 700 offices. Example (2) talk about the liberation of rebirth such as a car worth 70,000 offices. Example (3) talk about the needs of Buddha such as a house worth $ 700,000 relating villa.
If I go to pay a month's 5000 opinion, and in the beginning we did not have a purpose at all, when traveling, if you see a beautiful coats, moderate price we can afford, we did not hesitate to buy now wait.
Also with the wages that we want to have a car, we have to save money year after year, will not take salaries for other spending such as buying clothes, then a few years is that we can get a a car.
Also with the wages that we wanted a villa house, we must save any longer because my salary is too little compared to the price of the home. So we have to accumulate savings wages dare not spend wasted on other things, but aims only to buy a house. Then about twenty years or more new I fully master the house (as in France to pay Crédit).
After the three examples above, we see that this same act (Karman) same (hetu) which have different retribution. This is due to dedicate mind that out. If we create merit much without knowing much dedication is worthwhile, why? Of course, the merit surely we will see good returns, but in vain because it was illegal retribution worldly possession, after a while we will remain empty-handed only.
If you see the importance of commitment and dedication, then later: before, during, and after doing something good you should vow and dedicate. And even more when we see a certain merit that we will be happy because it is a chance for us Godspeed to purpose (for my case like a car or house, but do not like coats).
So, according to our understanding, the Bodhisattva is to remember to Bodhicitta, remember the vow and dedicate the Buddha bridge, but do not understand why when I read the Heart Sutra is seen while saying 'no mind very favorable herons, of course champions-elect tried '. Then we should start thinking mind says: Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara is the Bodhisattva Career Dieu Giac, while we here are Fetal Bodhisattva (the Bodhisattva still in the womb). Furthermore Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara understood, saw, saw the emptiness, that the real nature of things, we still do not know what it is to what is left, something good something bad, something is Compassion what is evil, let alone emptiness with emptiness there. I do not like people are going on the river, find others to dispose of the boat shore, but here we also took a hammer to beat rush punctured his boat. We must always look to see your consciousness is? Baby to 3, youth 20 or 70. If the old man is the baby to 3, then we should be happy about learning to walk, do not imitate the old man took a stick and die early seventies. And vice versa if you are seventy, the old man could go 'no mind very favorable herons, certainly possessed numerous incidents', nobody restrictions because Buddhism is not mandatory voluntarily or dictatorial.
After understanding the development as well as the Bodhicitta vows and dedication of bodhisattvas, we stepped on to the practice of Bodhisattvas away then.
Well, looks like we're forgetting something, is not known why the Bodhisattvas are found Bodhicitta? The purpose of the Buddha's bodhicitta sentient beings, but the reasons and causes of the rise Bodhicitta is what? Bodhicitta Bodhisattva development, the reason being the Bodhisattva saw suffering and wanted to save living beings, want to save all sentient beings become Buddhas demand immediate new enlightenment bridge completely.
Bodhisattvas are those who are aware of the suffering of life, clear the injustice, oppression, exploitation, abuse, wreak havoc, the evil of man created for man. If Bodhisattvas just sitting, need something shouted a voice, someone brought offerings, the Bodhisattva difficult aware of the difficulties, sweating tears boiling of the giver himself. Without the experience of suffering itself, then at least Bodhisattvas collective consciousness in the presence of suffering where every species. Because there is pain, you have these Buddhism, without suffering, without Buddhism. Bodhisattva aware of the suffering is not to fear, but to nurture their compassion. Bodhicitta Bodhisattva is also likened to burning oil flames of suffering. Without oil, the flames suffering Bodhicitta will turn off. Thus for the Four Noble Truths, Bodhisattva have understood completely. If we want to follow the path of the bodhisattva, we also need to learn to smooth the Four Noble Truths, if not then at least we also need to understand the 'Two Noble Truths' ie the first two noble truths: Noble Truth and aprons. And after understanding then let proceed on Bodhisattva, if not so, then we are merely "self Bodhisattva list ', that is, we go to the temple bhikkhu life for fun.
After understanding the cause and purpose of Bodhisattva, we stepped into the path of the bodhisattva, or Bodhisattva (Bodhisattvamarga).
Bodhisattva is often expressed through the time, ie six fatalities, also known as Luc Paramita (Paramita) include: giving (Dana), Morality (Sila), Patience (Ksanti) Effort (Virya ), meditation (dhyana), Wisdom (Prajna). Translation Paramita Paramita sound is David, Daniel translates the islands mean to the other shore. Paramita is six continents means capable of putting (the) Bodhisattva into shore to shore is Enlightened, is Buddha.
In the narrow scope, this book would say about Giving paramitas alone. Since almsgiving its true meaning, it includes six paramitas, otherwise sometimes it is not called Giving more.

-oOo-

3. Giving is what?

I. What is generosity?
Dana is the first well in six of Bodhisattva. Dana Sanskrit vowels means for, translated into Chinese in Vietnam was generosity. Dad is around, candidates are for. Giving is giving over all. If you say so, quite simple and vague. Because throughout all mean for over all that he has, or across all beings?
When we come across a poor road stand begging, I take five or copper coins for them, then we call it and give to the poor. In my family when the children something, we just call it for. For those with higher social status than me, or for goods grandparents, uncles, we are not called for but called Give or sample. Then, as in the temple for our Jewels have another call offering. It is an action for which there are many different names because that's up in place of the object to, ie the receiver. Spring Festival comes, we can not bring a gift to meet his boss, saying, 'I begged alms for boss gift', or having a teacher said: 'I beg alms for the Master' , or one can not say: 'Three offerings to the cake box', v ... v ... My Vietnamese troublesome, where it is not easy! Without careful attention, it could be a bit annoying for yourself and others.
As we saw Giving meanings include: donations, gifts, donations, donations, alms. But for simplicity down to the following pages, we'll call all the ones that generosity.
II. Why should we give alms?
Since Giving brings the following benefits: Giving is a merit treasure always followed the owner (ie people) one life to the other; Bell built happiness and eliminate suffering; Bell knows, everyone loved; Bell makes the mind (people) are happily, almost dead center when not fear; Bell eliminate miserly greed; Bell knows the gods favor; Bell is the way in which all Saints clean all went through; Bell is a good karma will produce good returns; Bell is the action of the heroes; Bell will eradicate poverty and lead to three road closure evil (hell, peta, animals); preserve the merit of generosity; Bell is the first condition of the road leading to Nirvana; Bell is the root of all dhamma; alms houses of noble people, the pleasures of the Saints (Arya) and Vi's; Bell is a worthy example for those who lack merit and wisdom to follow.
* The location and ignorant people in the fire .
When there is a fire, people have commented intellect know can see fire spread to his house or not? If so hastily gather assets other displaced persons in peace before the next fire. By the time the fire spread to the house and although his objective burnt down, but he still what precious material, and thus can rebuild another house. Likewise, people who know the location of his body is fragile easily disabled, and material wealth lost too far longer tomorrow, excess body good opportunity and wealth while not losing, he cultivates accumulation of by practicing the virtue of generosity, just as a wise man said pick-up valuables before the fire; and in the afterlife he (who alms) will be awarded to the charity created by good fortune, like the wise man who built the new house so.
Conversely, during a fire, the source did not know what to do, just because greedy do not want to leave the house; until fire arrived, panic worry escape on his own, was not carrying any objects; This person does not have the intelligence review of the fire spread quickly (especially when there are strong winds), then under intense winds and the fire accidentally, your house is just a few minutes burn out ash. Worse was to wait until the last minute so they hurry to escape themselves did not bring the assets at all. Therefore after the fire, people suffer from hunger, cold and heat tolerant life miserable for the rest of your life. In case of a greedy, miserly, stingy fool like mentioned above, ie that the body does not know, wealth and life is very fragile, easily wreak tomorrow now also lost, unable to hold forever, just a ticking clock can only be dissipated gone. Because of this, do not know in a lifetime, only stupid people peered into the accumulation of wealth, plunder money, and protect and preserve them greedy selfish. But then suddenly one day the 'Death' to hold first knock pulled away (can not refuse). This four great body disintegrated returning to forest land, the wealth, asset accumulation labored must leave not take it, and the next rebirth in poverty, hunger like fools panic in such a fire storm.
The wise, generous learned that when other people give to that is to benefit themselves. Conversely fool, sordid, not knowing that if no alms or help others ie can not do for yourself what benefits all.

 4. Giving has some kind?

If I am a longtime student of Buddhism who would quickly respond that there are 3 types:

1) Where candidates: ie alms money.
2) French candidates: ie legal alms.
3) pilot Captain Forever: ie alms fearlessness.

Reply so complete, we still claim to have understood even finished Giving Paramita, and I missed, go get a read Flower Adornment Sutra, or taken out of Zen Patriarch considered. But alas! How wrong we were, where Paramita Giving just barely making it!
When it comes to charity, I realize there are three factors that created it, namely: people (experimental feature), item (guinea pigs), and recipients (research division).
Giving three dishes that I just mentioned above (Finance, Legal, fearless) belong to such material. As for the donor and the recipient, have been neglected negligence. Three factors for the generosity of little importance, if it lacks one of three would not have the generosity.
Someone holding an item that no one wants to recognize there is no charity. There are items that do not have people for and recipient, there is no charity. Some people are willing to accept that no one is to map, there is no charity.
If you want to categorize, then we must be based on three elements of the generosity that classification:

- In terms of people (dayaka), there are two types: Giving clean (visuddhadana) and impure (avisudha).
- In terms of experimental animals (Deya), there are three types: Where candidates (Dravyadana), France pilots (Dharmadana) and pilot Captain Forever (Abhayadana).
- In terms of the recipient (ie the object of charity), also known as field blessing (blessing filled), there are two types: small fortune field (karunapunyaksetra) and field great blessing (satkarapunyaksetra).

The above is only provisional overall classification only, because each was divided into small portions again that I will go into more detail later.
I. In terms of human experiments
There are two types of generosity: In the clean and unclean.
1) What is not pure charity?

It is charity for: self-interest, disrespect, hatred, weakness, want to seduce, fear of death, wants to irritate, jealousy, rivalry, arrogance, the name, to avoid the danger, want enchanting heart ... In summary handout for a bad heart, but think of the joy and benefit to the recipient.

2) What is the pure generosity?

To put it simply, it's the opposite of generosity has the nature of what was described above. Giving also means that want to benefit to the recipient.

Mentioned above is pure charity for everyone. For Buddhists, the pure generosity also means fostering merit for liberation or Nirvana (Nirvana).
Must accretion how? By almsgiving with a pure heart, not of God, blessings bridge (Deva), people (Manusya), no bridge is happy in this life and the next life, only needs liberation of Nirvana, offer alms to the heart glass (satkara) or compassion (maitrikaruna). While not yet fully attained Nirvana result, we still happily reborn in sight of God, who (although not intentionally bridge), which is due to good karma of pure generosity. Buddha says: 'In this world there are two kinds of people very rarely have: 1) a monk was completely freed of the wandering monk (pravajita); 2) A person who knows pure generosity among laymen '(Anguttara I).
II. In terms of animal experiments
There are three types: Where candidates, French pilot and pilot Captain Forever.
In each category on the split: true and not true.
1) Where candidates
Where contestants divided into two categories: Foreign pilots and Cabinet candidates.
a) Foreign candidates (bahyadana): Foreign pilots are alms outside objects such as gold, silver, possessions, clothes, food and drink ...
b) Internal candidates (adhyatmika): Internal pilot is giving what is in our human body; like ancient Buddha as alms Bodhisattva head, eyes, feet, hands ... Today we could not do so, we can help out in force as do the temple work for, sled for the elderly , v ... v ... Or more blood to patients in the hospital, or to sign a document for the parts of my body if the death was sudden death.
c) Where the true experiment: the items are not due alms from theft or robbery. If the reverse is not true experimental talent.
Also if we give alms in the following cases, the blessings will increase multifold:

1. Giving timely. Means alms for: those who went away, the new remote, the sick, who looks after the sick, in the cold season.
2. Giving always without fatigue or boredom.
3. Giving preference of the applicant.
4. Giving these precious animals.
5. And give to those who work for the Temple, gardening, digging ditches ...
6. Giving alms to monks.
7. Almsgiving which regards the recipients.
8. And give to those who have virtue.
9. Giving all that they have.

* The integrity generosity of Karna Painter (Sutralamkara).
At that time in the village Puskaravavati a painter named Karna. Because do not eat enough, so he gave the family false wife, on his way to a neighboring country is Taksasila. Here he dedicated work, the result is after twelve years, he has amassed three dozen gold coins. Joy, he traveled back home, on the road to the village heard a drum bell signaling an upcoming important meetings of the monks, so he was curious about. With a pure faith you go see the monk Tri (ie distribution monk commanders meeting) saying, 'Sir, if such meetings lasted a day, they need a cost how much to take be offered (Flora) complete the monks? ' Tri the monk replied: 'About thirty of gold is enough for one day'. Hearing that done, he began his pocket and brought out thirty gold contract for position all the saying, 'I ask sincerely, giving food a day the monks'. Then he returned home with empty hands.
Arriving home, his wife joyfully running to meet and ask: 'During the twelve years he has done how much money?' He replied: 'To be thirty pieces of gold'. His wife asked: 'So where thirty Galleons he let see?' He said: 'I have sown in a field all blessings (punyaksetra) then'. His wife asked what field blessing he replied: 'I was offered all the Congregation Sangha (Sangha)'. Heard so finished, the wife was angry shouting curse and beat him, then dragged him to court because of on trial and punish him. Out on the court, the governor asked the wife what he said: 'My husband is a serious fool! During the twelve years working abroad, amassed thirty gold coins. But to come here do not know think and pity to his wife and children, so my husband had squandered, for it all no longer any money. Under the law, I dragged him to the agency on trial here please '. The judge asked the husband: 'Why did you give it out instead of bringing about giving your wife?' He answered: 'In my previous life, I did not know how to do the healing virtues, so in this life I have to be poor and miserable. But in this life, I had the fortune to meet a blessed land, and if I do not take a chance that the seeds sown in the good, then certainly in the future life I will suffer no misery forever know when to finish. Wanting to escape poverty so today I have offered all my gold number for group Sangha '.
This judge is a Upasaka (Upasaka), pure faith in the Three Jewels, so after listening to him like the painter replied, immediately wholeheartedly praise: 'His job is indeed high rooftop, he knew charity integrity Congregation savings is after years of hard-earned. It is noble, I do not by this loss'. Then they untied the judge wearing jade bracelets awarded in the neck gave him, at the same time give him his horse riding and a small village. Then finally the judge added: 'I've just donated to the congregation, I also would like to donate to him, but it's just called a little retribution present, certainly in the life to merit results His report will be immeasurable '.
* The practice of Mahakashyapa (Maha Kasyapa)
Kassapa means Moisture Quang, because his body is always radiating glow and solemnity. Because of conditions that were so? In a previous life the ancient past at Buddha Ty Ba Thi (Vipasyin), then Venerable Kassapa was formerly a specialist silversmith statues. One day, a poor girl in the shop on hand carrying a yellow diamond, so he cast a Buddha statue. Silversmiths saw this and tried to ask: "Where is Gold, which she can?" The girl replied: "On the way to Buddha picked up."
Silversmith who surprised asked: "I saw her too poor, not enough food to eat, clothes to wear, so she did not bring this gold to sell for living expenses which again brought Buddha statues?"
The girl said: "Since I have found in the temple's prayer if there is enough favorable circumstances, I would cast a golden Buddha statue contemplates birth to beings worship. And today do so I am happy too Okay, no more hope for other expenses. "
Touched by the Development Center to donations of girls too large, silversmiths also play mind: "Yes, I will cast her Buddhas and I also ask prayers offered not for remuneration."
Because where merit this offering alms and that ninety-one afterlife, who was born when two bodies are always in the morning and met lots solemn true practitioner, for the afterlife and water born in India Do encounter Shakyamuni ordained a leading school attained Arhat.
2) French pilots
How is the experimental method?
To be considered experimental methods include:

1. All those words true, useful can bring peace to the listener.
2. Teaching of the Buddha Dhamma (Buddhadharma).
3. The three Tibetan Teaching methods: Beijing (Sutra), Law (Vinaya) and Reviews (Abhidharma).
4. Teach people know two methods: Sravakas (Sravaka) and bodhisattvas (Bodhisattva).

Doubts: Why Devadatta (Devadatta) three Tibetan teaching methods as well as legal bar text and Bodhisattvas but descend to Hell? The reason why?
Everyone knows Devadatta professionals who seek to harm competition Buddha, or even divisive disrupt the harmony of the Sangha. In addition to this the two felonies, Devadatta even create a lot of guilt about TA. Preaching the sermon of Devadatta not a pure alms France, to demand the liberation, which is the name of the bridge benefit, demand respect, ... That is why the candidates are not in France This clean up Devadatta did not reap any merit, and still go to hell anyway.

* France pilots are not authentic teaching of pagan teachings, not to bring people to salvation samsara (as astral teach, teach to do the spell, v ... v ...)
* France pilots are taught true teachings to bring people to the ultimate liberation of Nibbana (Nirvana).

3) pilot Captain Forever
Fearless pilot means fearlessness alms, ie making others are assured peace of will, not afraid of anything.
According to scriptures primitive origin (Anguttara, Itivuttaka), only two types of Giving, which is experimental and French Finance candidates. But according to the Mahayana teachings (Mahayana), has added a third alms fearless pilot.
Personal opinion, I think that fearless pilots or pilots in France pilot Resources. Why? For as alms, that is given, then there are two ways: one is the action, two are for verbal. If action is that of Finance candidates, even if verbally, that French pilots.
Examples:

* If there is a night pedestrians fear of robbery, see how we went under guard for fear that end. This was known as fearless pilots. But follow my actions are themselves candidates (mean swaggered my body to follow them), so that is already under financial experiment.
* If someone is afraid of death, afraid to go to hell, we immediately bring their teachings comforting, healing or just let them know they recite the Buddha after death of Bliss. Thus they are no longer afraid of death anymore. This was known as fearless pilots. But the words that we comfort them, then it is France pilots.

I can not naturally make others out of fear to be. We have to do something (a word, a presence, a comfort, an assist, ...) for him, he is to finish fear (fearlessness) is. The main fear is the result of all of the candidates or the French Finance candidates. So fearless contestants can not be considered as a separate charity depends what place the other two both alms (Finance and French pilots).
* What is the true fearless contestants?
Fearless pilot true or not that is true depends on pilots and French pilots Where have genuine or not? Examples:

- There is a fear of death. I told them not to fear, but to worry Buddha, fasting, doing good, until death will go to the Pure. Then they listened to and all fear death. It is true fearless pilot.
- Just the same, if we told them not to fear death, because death is the end, there is nothing to worry about, no hell, no heaven. If they believe in me without fear of dying, it is not true pilot Captain Forever (because I teach them mortgage segment).

4) Comparison of Three Giving
Because endless captain or pilot experiments in France Where should experiment here I only compare with the French Treasury, the time trial.
Most of us who knew you before the French pilots than pilots Resources. Buddha himself has said: 'In these two types of generosity, the French pilot was on' (Anguttara I). Why? For many reasons:
