RETREAT SECURITY. When the Buddha was still in the world, he set a precept for monks and nuns that every year they had to settle down in the summer in the rainy season [1]. Because of the rainy season in India, insects proliferate a lot, but when the monks go for alms, they will trample them, killing many small living beings, hurting the compassion of the Buddhas. As a result, monks and nuns are not allowed to travel outside, but must stay in one place for three months to make efforts to practice meditation, cultivate precepts of concentration, and live together in pure harmony. However, if there is an urgent and necessary matter, they are only allowed to leave the residence for no more than seven days [2], and then have to return to continue living. That is the origin of the "Retreat in Kiet Ha". Comparing the Indian calendar and the Chinese calendar, that time starts from the full moon day, the 16th day of the sixth lunar month, until the 15th day of the 9th lunar month. This time of the Summer Retreat is still respected by monks in the countries following the Theravada Buddhist tradition: Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Laos and Ceylon to this day. But when Buddhism spread to China, the season of seclusion was fixed from the full moon day of the 4th lunar month (ie, after the Buddha's birthday) until the 15th day of the 7th lunar month, which is the Vu Lan festival. That is the tradition of Northern Buddhism: China, Vietnam, Japan and Korea. On the day of the end of the Seclusion season, the monks gathered to review the results, performed the ceremony of repenting the Bodhisattva [3] and declared its completion. This day is called Tu Tu Day, which applies equally to both the Theravada and Northern Buddhist traditions. Monks of the South celebrate Tu Tu ceremony on September 15, and monks and nuns of the North organize it on the 15th day of the 7th lunar month every year. According to the spirit of the Precepts, every year in the summer retreat season, monks and nuns have to find a suitable place to enter summer, this place is called summer long. However, if there is no junior high school or far away school, the place to settle down can be a temple, a monastery, a monastery, or any other suitable place. In temples with only four bhikkhus, it is considered legal for Buddha to perform a ritual meeting[4] to feign precepts and summer fetters for three months of residence. In temples in remote areas where a monk cannot go to summer school or to a temple with more than three monks to settle down together, that monk will settle down at his temple by method of implementing "mindset settlement". This Dharma is applicable to cases where there are only one, two, or three monks in a temple. In front of the Buddha hall, reading three times the vow to settle down, the settlement is also in accordance with the Buddha's dharma [5]. Once you have decided where to live, you must live there, not going out of that place for 3 months, except in cases prescribed by the precepts, such as a parent or guru being seriously ill or If a monk dies, or has an important Sangha, or is invited by a benefactor to do necessary Buddhist activities, a monk entering the country must ask for permission to temporarily leave his residence. For Vietnamese monks and nuns who are cultivating and practicing religion abroad, due to the different social, political, economic and geographical circumstances of each place and each time, the daily practice and organization of religious activities are different. Their annual summer retreat is not as simple as in the country. Most temples, monasteries, and viharas are not in the same church, so it is difficult to unify the organization. Moreover, it can be said that it is difficult for monks and nuns to close the temple for three months a year to settle down for the summer, because in a foreign country, Most of the monks are abbots of a temple and the work of caring for the faithful Buddhists is focused on that temple. If the temple does not have a Ban Ho Tu to directly take care of daily tasks such as incense, receive guests, take care of marriages and funerals for Buddhist members, if there is one, then that abbot can hardly close the temple door with peace of mind. seclusion for three months as prescribed by precepts. Because the residence time is less than the Buddha's prescribed time, the main part of the Retreat is "Mindful Recollection", "every Bhikkhu maintains the Mind of Retreat until the Fourth Day (the remaining 80 days). The reason is, after 10 days of Retreat, the Sangha only released the general precepts [6], but still kept the precepts [7], to serve as a lifeline for the Sangha on the path of spreading the Dharma and serving sentient beings. Thought should also know the meaning of the word An settlement. Peace is inner peace, and Cu is the term of residence for a certain period of time. which according to the precepts is three months. Settling down means that the Sangha live peacefully in a place of harmony and purity to study together, cultivate Moral Virtue, Study Concentration and learn after nine months of teaching the Dharma to save lives. During the three-month stay, the Sangha lived in co-existence, lived together in the spirit of six peace, together reminded the precepts, and encouraged each other. On the last day, on the ninetieth day, the monks gathered at a precept hall, compared with the precepts that they had upheld, each one examined himself by seeing, hearing, and doubting, and if he saw anything, That is not right, say it yourself or ask another monk to say it, then if you see that you have made a mistake, you must repent in accordance with the law. After repenting, he was purified, and his mind felt at peace. That is the meaning of the Fourth of July, the end of the retreat. This Fourth of July is also known as the day of longevity. That is, the Sangha is determined to be one more religious age, which is the age of Virtue, of Tue. The monk always takes the Precepts of Virtue and the Tue of School as the age, not the age according to the years of the world. Any bhikkhu who does not settle down, does not meditate, or has a quiet life but does not meditate, or has a self-sacrifice but does not settle down, is also considered to have no age of the Way. In short, the retreat season is the most important time of the year for bhikkhus, where the meaning of studying in a peaceful and harmonious environment is most prominent. Each season of settlement is a religious age of a bhikkhu's life. This is an extremely important and practical Buddhist work of the Sangha, demonstrating compassion for all sentient beings and serving as the basis for the practice of lay Buddhists. This is also a convenient time for lay people to have the opportunity to get close to the monks to study the Dharma.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA=( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.15/5/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
