KIET HA SECURITY 'THE THOUSANDS OF TRADITION OF BUDDHISM'. After the Buddha's birthday celebration, the Northern Buddhist monks and nuns entered the summer retreat season (Theravada Buddhist monks settled from June 16 to September 16 of the lunar calendar), continuing the tradition of millennial tradition of Buddhism. The three months of the summer residence have a great meaning for both monastic and household goods. It is a time when monks and nuns devote their full time to studying, consolidating their bodies and minds, cultivating Precepts-Concentration-Wisdom, and at the same time, this is also an opportunity for lay Buddhists to develop their minds to cultivate a field of merit through making offerings, outside households, creating favorable conditions for monks and nuns to live and study. Every year, when it comes to the season of seclusion, monks and nuns temporarily put aside busy Buddhist activities such as travelling, preaching, social activities, charity, gathering in a place to focus on studying. During the three months of residence, the monks and nuns limit all external contacts and are not influenced or influenced by external conditions. The monastic practitioners who perform the duty of settling down diligently in studying the Dharma, practicing the Dharma, and upholding the precepts will make their merit, virtue, and virtue grow, worthy of being a refuge and a field of merit. Buddhist at home. Although preaching the Dharma, charity, and benefiting others is the mission of monastics, it is not for that reason that monks and nuns do not pay attention to their intellectual career and their ultimate goal of liberation. Without sufficient wisdom and merit, it is difficult to be a refuge, a torch to light the way for lay Buddhists. Therefore, monastics always aim for the parallelism between self-liberation and forgiveness, self-realization and self-enlightenment in order to achieve perfect enlightenment like the Buddhas. From the Buddha's time on earth, Every year, the Sangha settles down in the rainy season for many reasons, such as difficult to carry out the work of teaching and preaching in the rainy season (rainy and windy, severe weather, muddy roads, difficult to walk in water, many places). proliferating insects and reptiles that can cause harm, have no place to live when it rains and winds on the way to begging, travelling, etc.); out of compassion and compassion for insects and small creatures that grow in the rainy season, they do not go around to avoid trampling and harming them; avoid criticism and gossip of pagans; But the most important thing is still the purpose of promoting self-immolation, cultivating the three unscrupulous studies of Precepts-Concentration-Wisdom, cultivating the path of karma. Normally, monks and nuns are distributed everywhere to propagate, day by day they hold alms round in villages and towns, going to each house, regardless of house, regardless of caste. members of society to promote good conditions and make merit fields for those who develop their minds, and at the same time preach the Dharma to save birth, bring pure faith and wisdom to relieve suffering for everyone. The rest of the time they spend listening to the Buddha or the Elders preach the Dharma and practice meditation and wisdom. There are many people sent by the Buddha to propagate the Dharma in distant places, in other countries or in other countries. Just like today, in addition to studying, monks and nuns also do dharma work in the country or abroad such as organizing retreats, giving lectures, preaching sutras, translating, printing and disseminating the Dharma, doing activities. charity, social security, etc.. At the time of settling down, monks and nuns from all over the world stopped traveling and returned to a place that today is called "Pure Karma Dao" or "Daoyang to settle down in summer". , it is a coniferous forest, old-lam, vihara, monastery to study. During the residence period, the monks and nuns do not go for alms, the male and female attendants are lay Buddhists who offer clothes and medicine (if a monk is sick) and make offerings of food. eat every day. In general, Buddhists take care of the four affairs (rice and water; clothing; seats, beds; medicine to treat diseases are the most basic needs of human beings), creating all favorable conditions for Buddhists. Monks and nuns feel secure to study. Every day, monks and nuns spend all their time listening to the Dharma, asking about the Dharma, maintaining the sutras, and practicing meditation. Monks and nuns live within the framework of the Dharma and the Law, living in a spirit of pure harmony under the care and guidance of the Buddha and Elders who have attained enlightenment or have much experience in cultivation. After each season of Seclusion, there is a person who has attained the Holy Fruits of Tuda-round, Tu-da-ham, An-a-ham or A-la-Han. The settlement creates favorable conditions to promote the progress in cultivation and study and helps the practitioner easily achieve the path and fruition, and promote the Holy Spirit. The summer retreat is also an activity to strengthen and maintain internal resources after days of dedication to the Dharma and to all sentient beings. During the months of seclusion, the monks and nuns not only were fostered, developed their level of Buddhist practice, increased their merit, virtue, and spiritual strength, but also had the opportunity to practice a collective life according to the spirit of the Buddha. Spirit of Luc Hoa, has the opportunity to exchange and share insights, spiritual experiences, and at the same time show brotherhood, the spirit of harmony like water and milk. The tradition of seclusion is preserved by monks and nuns to this day to serve as the core for the practice and maintenance of the Dharma. This is also a characteristic activity of Buddhism. Some religions, Other sects from ancient times and now also have a time of "seclusion", "detention" to meditate for a certain time, but the form and content of such activities do not carry a specific meaning. like the auspicious retreat of a Buddhist cultivator. The value of the practice, cultivation of virtue, virtue and growth of virtuous force, and the experience of the truth is inconceivable. Even the Buddha and his noble disciples, who have attained the path, have attained the ultimate goal of enlightenment, liberation, and nirvana, always remaining in mindfulness, meditating, and living by wisdom, They are often concerned with morality and set an example of strictly observing the precepts and rules of conduct, diligently practicing morality and holy life for Buddhists to follow, serving as a refuge for the masses, using the body of their teachings. , oral teachings to promote the spirit of Dharma propagation, benefit sentient beings. During the Buddha's time, Although the Sangha was led directly by the Buddha and the great disciples, the monks and nuns at that time still did not underestimate the effect, meaning and value of the annual seclusion, of the closing oneself in the Dharma and Law, and practicing Precepts-Concentration-Wisdom. Following the path outlined by the Buddha, in the spirit of "Understanding the Buddha's Way, bringing down sentient beings", today's monks and nuns practice diligently during the summer retreat season to cultivate merit, blessings, and rewards. wisdom, in order to achieve the path and fruition of liberation to be a refuge for life, improve the capacity to propagate, and open the path of profit. In the spirit of protecting the Three Jewels, studying the Buddhadharma to advance in cultivation and cultivate merit and blessings as the foundation for peace and happiness in this life and the next, lay Buddhists, good men, and women devotees wholeheartedly. support and create favorable conditions for monks and nuns to settle down and practice.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.25/6/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
