Salutation in temple

 

 

There are many Buddhists go perennial temple; but the vocative is not fully understood. Today we will write about this issue explicitly, so you show wall and try to perform to merit more beneficial part in directing his life.

Usually in my life who respect or gestures glasses, respect, fear and when I despise anybody opposite gestures. In two letters importance and contempt also implies the meaning of it already. Mean heavy weight pile up. Contempt means light or separately. And two letters claiming as coral also envisioned for us is that people on lower and lower guys for guys on. Outside society was that, in the temple entrance Vocative also relatively quite special. We'll turn the presentation are as follows:

A / About ordained to the ordained

Home person who has left his family, relatives, into the temple to live a life of virtue. View the list, status light mao dodder. But no means no more or less categorical. Because in view of the law have taught: "Any medium low roof is glass, as Brahmins gather specific issues". Ie those who do not know the glasses on, and who made less among you, just as the Brahmins sat around talking. So be addressed here is no longer the class anymore, which is a hierarchy in daily life.

a) The guidance elderly with younger guys religion

Age religion here is based on the spiritual merits of the venerable, Venerable, Venerable, novice and novice.

Older people are sitting in front direction and sit on or under their calling by name or by rank. Sometimes you call a Venerable Master Teacher or his name, he and Venerable Venerable call you, you call a novice Venerable too. Adults age; but younger religion, still rank in class and outside the temple, not a secular being.

A venerable when talking to people under often confess me or us. Many people wonder why there is only one person that or see you I confess that "we". Because that Buddhism is anti-self. In life people are suffering because of the "I" a lot too. Should confess "we" also means having the autistic self-aligning himself with the notion of killing self in Buddhism. Or claiming "we" also means humility. There are many cork-proclaimed Venerable Increase for people under or just for guys on, to show our little ones for others.

b) young people directed towards older your religion

Note Sub often confess with your child is a novice. Area novice when submitted with the Venerable something is usually "white teachers" and "confess you." There are also many Venerable for transparency also Venerable Master, I confess it. Much as many are Buddhist Venerable respectable cult glasses; but when they returned to see a venerable old temple of his Duty Counsel, in addition to white teacher, I also have to confess repeatedly bowed it again, to confess the ease. This shows us that even his disciples have become a teacher like that no matter what, for me his group still reverently as ever; not because of the dignity that we forget the meaning of grace religion professor.

There are many newly ordained the day before, day after claiming a hat has robed himself a galaxy Career Bhikshu, not ashamed very ru !! Or understanding Understanding become completely attained high drain conceit see people on the bottom who nobody in. So Buddha is often prepared to prohibition world who break the precepts.

B / person ordained for you the laity

Known as a man or a close vicinity of the Buddhist women when there was refuge and the five precepts or Bodhisattva home. When the refuge, each Buddhists have a teacher ordain her. He called the original teacher. That is his main teacher. In the family, children to parents how; Door Way, Buddhists and others also respect their original teacher like him. His master's refuge is like a spiritual guide directed her in this store. That's why the teacher should between gratitude for His followers and disciples of the Master are distributed as follows:

a) The professed monks with the disciples

De Prince here may include both monastic and lay. He does little himself as Master, Venerable or Venerable, but those products by people under because the new has hailed respectfully. If anything goes further in that sentiment, the teacher often confess to his disciples as "Master" or "me" etc .. and then call your teacher at home Lay by name, the name, Dao Huu or Buddhists etc .. For example a teacher to call his disciples often say something like this:

"Behold Hanh Tam! Back here because this is a little master."

Or "Nhu! I want to ask you to buy this for me dùm the little disciple etc .. If life was older than me, because normal social way everyday so called brother, sister or Uncle etc. . to match the ceiling of address of that. But if the right call had called Dao Huu, Buddhists or French name is better than.

b) Lay your house with your Vocative home

In this case, there are many issues to write here. There are many lay upon meeting a teacher, this teacher can be big or small age, virtuous or normal, or called by "I", "child", "children" etc .. There are many cases justified by "Kids" is also funny to hear and people listening feel slightly ridiculous.

Why why Buddhists profess "I" for a teacher?

- It could be because they do not understand religion. Or because they think they are big or the same age as the other monks. But such thinking is wrong. Because of his great age, but there are large age where religion. But this young man has practiced before his birth, meaning birth before they were religious and they are continuing this life. Even though his older contemporary; but no affinity with the Dharma, should still be a follower. Still big but small.

In the Lotus Sutra has said: "There is only one person centennial sure this young man is our father and the other young people only centenarians sure this was indeed my son. Father old young child." It is significant that presented above.

- Or perhaps a Buddhist himself felt that he had more status, more affluent, more educated, should confess I have nothing unsightly too.

Status, wealth and knowledge is of worldly things. People from all to see life is impermanent vanity, for they have nothing valuable outside of chon value!

Why Buddhists often proclaimed "son" with a monk?

- Maybe this is the type of perennial temple and understand religion. There are many elderly people 70 years of age; but having a child remains transparent Venerable Master, I confess silkily, sometimes making him the new Venerable also shy. But here there are two main benefits:

- First Principle - who claim can take away pride, high drain his conceit.

- Secondly - who is hailed to be ashamed but trying to practice. If negligent practice, the merits are losing out.

There are many Buddhist monks bowing again. Here too there are two issues to be raised:

- The first problem - as reverently virtue of monks worshiped. When bowing, a Buddhist up the conceit of their pride.

- The second problem arises: monk had not deserved to his bow? - Maybe the Buddhists because of the notion that he deserved so monks prostrate themselves new. But deserved or not - part people are more blessed Lord; who are bowed, lost a lot of faith; if the monk had merit. If it does not have monks that moral virtue is reduced and sometimes more are deducted. Therefore oil in any case, the Lord has blessed the Lord who are consumed with so much merit. Thus require diligent more. In the law also says that a monk when experiencing a new Mrs. Venerable must also regard as their masters. Therefore, a laymen for a home person called by "con" is a more correct. I here is the spirit of this monk.

Why have many teacher layman seeing you, your nephew called by Sister or brother?

- Because they think they should shoulder grandchildren or children of the teacher. Such thinking is thinking in the legal world. Buddhism is not like the legal world.

If you confess that a male lay Buddhist monks for a hearing is okay, although a bit grating. But if a female benefactor that proclaimed "you" to a teacher, you should watch out would be scandalous or an external observation.

There are many women claiming the incident or Ms with you - this may be temporary. But if you lay men would not confess to him or Uncle Sister by stars? Hence the term "child" is still better than both.

There are many Buddhists in front of the White Master confess you; but not present at that teacher often called Tam Hanh, Hanh Duc etc .. do it is self-deception himself already. Presence behind me and call me by Master. There are many people respect me, little name or call me by that name abbot Thay Pagoda. For example, Germany or Great Master Happy Holy etc .. Wen Many people still called him Master Mind Spirit, he saw Van Phuoc etc .. This is the way of those who do not understand call religion. If called by "Mr. Teacher", will have to have more, "Mrs. Teacher" is true. "Mrs. Teacher" in Vietnam do not have, but in the long-standing Nhut. General intangible Vietnam Buddhists had assimilated his master without knowing. Or more people at reverently then I confess I silkily transparent; but when something is cute too knee pants standing in front of the temple wealth insulted "the guy Thay Pagoda which this and that," or "something like Su Su cobra" or "Ji Gong" etc .. That certification proved to be able to understand their religion pretty much. Write here remembered an ancient story when Lord Buddha in the world as follows:

" There is a Brahmin because jealous of the Buddha, so every day to where the Buddha in order to revile him very badly, until very tired Buddha power consumption is still no attitude at all. The Ba La Mon other Buddha asking that:

- The wood stone he was cursing his stars that I no shame?

- The Buddha asked: "If you have a wedding anniversary, making plenty deck after finishing anniversary, brings her to give the neighbors. If the neighbor refused. So feast was about who?

- The other Brahmin replied: "Well, the people for whom trays instead of more."

- New Buddha taught: "Here too it. For years you come here to scold me; but I did not get. So please return it to you."

Brahmin who was embarrassed to leave . "

Directed learning and practicing it in this way. Let's go to scold people or despised people, the human mind and my mouth dirty before; while others are still clean. Should pay attention to them instead!

There was a Japanese monk in the 13th century has taught his disciples, saying, "You learn to be cautious religion, his attitude at reception how, when in her own room and even so ". Simple but saying how unique significance, we should watch closely. Therefore while there I like when there is no teacher, always look the same, should not bias the main harm yourself blessed.

c) The Buddhist position for your home laypeople

In life, often called Specifically, grandfather, grandmother, uncle, Uncle, Aunt, Brother, Sister, etc .. but when I enter the temple should be called by the name together is probably more audible. You can also call each other by him, by her - but he Nguyen Giac, America etc .. Noble sister heard it seems more biased as his other grandmother.

There are many temples still hear Colonel grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ambassador, Mr. Engineer etc .. but brag like to do. It is nothing less than the brand of consistent ceiling, where there is nothing in the door directing necessary. Since the story of the world is a matter of continuous suffering consequences. Meditation is the subject matter of the stories of miraculous deliverance. Upon entering the temple we should remove the label and should he go outside the entrance to the quiet meditation subjects.

In the temple two nouns often called Dao Huu or Buddhists. Path Friends were friends together in one Truth together. Buddhists are the sons of the Buddha. Always use proper noun at all. But common noun Huu Dao seem "old" and "had the appearance of" more so for those who are old. Noun young Buddhists seem to call each other up with young people.

Above are some common nouns in the vocative in the temple. We write up here only intended to build direct, not mean to criticize anyone, or tell me what. If you lay Buddhists necessary, should accept. If found not trendy, not the body nor mind. Since Buddhism is the Path of self-discipline. No power is nothing to go coercing others to follow her. If anything, in the spirit of freedom and forgiveness only.

We view that: "The truth is always the truth"; should not be afraid to write down these lines to build a few cons if, contemporary and Zen will have in store. There will also be many oppose us. Since we wrote the truth. But the author of this article have no choice than to accept the fact. Despite the fact that there are cruel bitterness. Knowing without saying there is not a concern, because other people that say that do not know who the unknown results themselves go swimming that save lives. Therefore, if this message has to eye readers, Buddhists nor Buddhists; people Buddhism Path and other guys see this as a small contribution to the overall mission and apologetics as well as the custom of increase in life where overseas exile today.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGTHMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGTHFOLD PATH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.1/6/2015.
