Let's live the full meaning of the Fourth of July. According to the tradition left by the Buddha and the Patriarchs, every year after three months of the summer retreat, the monks and nuns must conduct the Tu Tu ceremony. The day of performing this ceremony is called the Buddha's Joyful Day, because all disciples have practiced diligently, all shortcomings are repented, and the path has a chance to be accomplished. So let's find out the meaning, preserve and promote that beautiful spirit. Tu Tu is Chinese, translated from Sanskrit Pavarana. Self: is self, Tu: is allowed, let love, also known as Custom - depending on things. Therefore, Tu can be translated as petition, petition. The Tu Tu ceremony is held once a year at a practice ashram, on the last day of the summer retreat and summer. According to the Northern School system, most of them are held on the full moon day of the seventh month, the day when the Buddha rejoices. Day of Amnesty for the Dead. According to some monasteries and Zen monasteries in Vietnam, it is called the Petition and is conducted twice a month on two days of seding, instead of Bodhisattvas. At the summer residence retreats, before the monastic ceremony, all the monks performed penitential prostrations, usually bowing to the Three Heavens or Ten Thousand Buddhas, continuously in the last days of summer, with the aim of eliminating them all. karma, in order to be completely pure, enter the ceremony to be peaceful. In the content of the ceremony, each monk went out in the midst of the crowd, sincerely confessed his mistakes, then because he did not realize his own work, he needed to be urgent. earnestly requesting the Venerable Virtues and the entire assembly, gladly tell me more about the shortcomings, mistakes, and sins committed, to correct and sincerely repent. If there are too many ashrams, they can be divided into several to appeal to each other in turn. This is a form of self-criticism and collective criticism and criticism of an individual, that individual is very happy to admit his shortcomings, express regret, and make a vow and determination to correct the mistakes. If anyone sincerely cultivates, needs to become a perfect person, in order to gently step on the path towards liberation and enlightenment, he should also take advantage of the petition and joyfully accept the instructions. the public's protection, then we will have the opportunity to know the defects that we can fix to progress and prove that we have eroded the self through the masses. And if anyone does not accept, or is uncomfortable, in petitioning the masses for guidance, then please review your spiritual practice astray, sin piled up, and your growing ego. It is because of the occasions of correcting the Dharma, helping each other to keep the precepts that have been lived, with full dignity and joy like this, that each individual will see and know his faults, sincerely. Noting the loving instructions of the Blessed Ones, perfecting themselves, purified body, speech, and mind. The whole assembly also came here to reflect on their own hearts to purify their bodies and minds, the world was perfect, everyone was washed by such pure streams, then the entire assembly will be completely purified, the path power will grow very strongly, the liberation, enlightenment, and the will to save birth are overflowing for each of them to have the full power to continue the path of Dharma propagation. (Mrs. Thanh De also thanks to the spiritual power of the ten directions of Sangha on this Fourth of July, that she escaped from suffering in the fire pit of hell). Having done so, the Buddha was very happy, each and every Bhikkhu would feel the boundless joy rising up in his mind. What a ceremony full of noble meaning and many benefits. I hope that the Tathagata's eldest sons always follow the Dharma properly, that is, they must sincerely criticize themselves and ask for corrections, respectfully ask the masses to dress up and beautify themselves, and then sincerely repent to become perfect people. benevolent. It is necessary to spend a lot of time conducting this ceremony, so that the atmosphere is comfortable and excited to listen and instruct each other, or re-read the precepts that have been received, to reflect on the mind, and correct it. , but can't make a mistake, go through the speakers, read according to what is recorded in the Precepts of Dan Sang, in a perfunctory manner, without showing any earnestness or transformation in mind. The taboo is not to turn the Fourth of July, the day of running away from sin, or criticizing and criticizing each other, so that resentment arises, afflictions pile up causing many other injustices. By sinning itself, the bad influence will also spread, so that the sin will also be filled with the spreading bad influence. Today, with the tendency to be more inclined to practice Phuoc, of lay Buddhists, who always take advantage of every good opportunity to plant blessings, It is the day when the Sangha is clean of afflictions, the day when the Buddha is happy and peaceful. liberation, perfect merit, is the best land with a lot of silt, so Buddhists really want to cultivate, so monastic disciples are the Tathagata's eldest son, they have to take care of themselves, so that the field can be blessed. ready for sentient beings to plant, as well as reminding and guiding more cultivation of Hue, in order to be worthy of that dedication and multiplying the merit, but not being able to self-quarantine and then enjoy the benefits of the offerings, each returning to his residence. that if not self-quarantine right! Then it will be a debt burden on the shoulders with the four offerings and karma also carried. Please live to the fullest and keep true to the meaning of Tu Tu.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.
