How to practice overcoming the five precepts to have a happy life. When we officially become a Buddhist, as a disciple of the Buddha, we need to receive and practice the five precepts (five ethical principles of lay Buddhists). These are the five basic things that help us have a happy and peaceful home life. Solutions drawn from the Five Precepts for the 4.0 industrial revolution What is practice in Buddhism? Before learning about the five precepts, in order for Buddhists to understand the meaning of the word "tu", "The meaning of the word "tu" in Buddhism is to correct it. Change your bad qualities into good ones. Correct your mistakes to be right. Change the things that we previously thought evil, said evil, and did evil to become we know how to think good, speak good and do good. That is "cultivation" in Buddhism. The Buddha said: "When we do not know how to cultivate, we live according to the old habits, Buddhists call it karma. When sentient beings create a lot of bad karma, they suffer painful results. Now that we practice, we will repair old karma, bad karma, bad deeds, bad before, we transform into good deeds, good deeds. And we aim to purify our inner self, which is the right path in Buddhism. Abandoning evil, doing good and purifying one's mind is the right path to practice in Buddhism." When we officially become a Buddhist, as a disciple of the Buddha, we need to receive and practice the five precepts (five ethical principles of lay Buddhists). These are the five basic things that help us have a happy and peaceful home life. At the end of the year, talk about the Five Precepts of Buddhists. For Buddhism, to officially become a Buddhist, we must first perform the ritual of taking refuge in the Three Jewels, that is, return to take refuge in the three treasures of Buddha - Dharma - Sangha. During the ordination ceremony, the monks will explain the three jewels and guide us to receive and practice the five precepts. In this regard, Master explained very clearly and in detail so that Buddhists could understand the meaning and importance of the Five Precepts. The first precept is not to kill life The first of the five precepts taught by the Buddha is not to kill. He wants his disciples to always cherish the lives of all living beings and species, and cultivate compassion and love for all. “The first thing is that we have to respect the lives of people and all species. All species are sentient animals, sentient beings. For Buddhism, respecting even the life of plants and trees, we do not unintentionally or unwittingly damage trees, which means we respect the environment. This ethical thing, Buddhism calls the precept not to kill, that is, the precept to respect the lives of people and species, equality in life, and respect for their lives. Besides, when we keep the precept of not killing: “Keeping this morality helps our souls to be at peace, and to have a lot of love for everyone and for all living beings. A person with such a mind will be very good, will radiate a very peaceful energy to the environment. That is very precious, helping our health to be good.” From the words of Venerable Thich Truc Thai Minh, we understand that people who know how to keep the precepts not to kill or harm animals will receive good retribution in terms of health and love. The first of the five precepts taught by the Buddha is not to kill. The Five Precepts – The Ten Virtues and the Matter of Maintaining Family Happiness The second precept is not to steal In order for Buddhists to understand why we should keep the precept of not stealing, “The second ethical thing is that we must not steal, steal. It is also about equality of respect for everyone's property rights. Property is the sweat and tears of everyone, so we must respect and be responsible for protecting the property for everyone. Therefore, as a person who takes refuge in the Buddha and takes refuge in the Three Jewels, he cannot steal, because stealing is a loss of the righteous path. When we steal, we commit the legal sin of the world, and sometimes also have to be dealt with legally. In Buddhism too, a person who has been called a Buddhist cannot steal, he has to give it up.” We all don't want anyone to take our stuff, so we shouldn't take other people's stuff either. This is social justice. All wealth is made based on labor, we steal things are taking away the effort and wisdom of the person who has spent. This is also easy to cause bad enmity, lose people's trust in him. We all don't want anyone to take our things, so we shouldn't take people's things either, this is social justice. The third precept is not to commit adultery and commit adultery like a child enjoying honey on the edge of a knife, indulging in a little sweetness and forgetting the consequences of having his tongue cut off. While lecturing on the five precepts, he once again advised Buddhists to live in accordance with the Dharma and avoid adultery and adultery: "Buddhist people must practice the moral thing of not having adultery, that is, to live together. Water. This is very suitable for Buddhism, because Buddhism respects family happiness. If the family is happy, the children will be good and the society will be good. Therefore, Buddhism attaches special importance to this precept. It is ethical to forbid adultery from those who are already married.” In today's modern life, adultery becomes quite common when application platforms find you a lot. Many people, even though they have a pretty full and happy life, have an affair, causing suffering for themselves and those involved. The Buddha saw the painful results of adultery, so he advised Buddhists not to commit adultery in order to avoid unnecessary karma when disrupting their own family's happiness and that of others. For a future where new forms of the Five Precepts are manifest Buddhism attaches great importance to this precept. This morality is to prohibit those who have built a family to commit adultery. The fourth precept is not to lie. For the fourth precept, Venerable Thich Truc Thai Minh shared: "The fourth moral thing that Buddhists have must keep, that is not to be deceitful. The more developed our society, the more complicated people's relationships with people, and the more distrust of each other. Therefore, Buddhism especially emphasizes not to lie, not to deceive, not to lie, not to deceive others, but to live honestly and sincerely with each other. A society where people live honestly with each other, honest with each other is very good. Besides that, . To have this virtue, we need to practice and practice a lot. The Venerable also shared the importance of honesty and truthfulness: "For Buddhism, what the mind is like, the realm will be like that. Because we will summon our realm. Therefore, Buddhism is very important to this precept. Words must be truthful, not lie or deceive. Buddhists must keep this precept, which will bring great peace and confidence to society. We know, when a society has broken trust with each other, people with people have broken trust with each other, that society is not happy. No matter how developed material civilization is, there is no happiness when people lose trust in each other, no one trusts anyone anymore. That is the suffering of society, of humanity. Therefore, as Buddhists, we must respect and comply with this Buddha's teaching and precept against telling the truth, not lying or deceiving others." The ten good deeds for a bright life Therefore, Buddhism especially emphasizes not lying, not deceiving, not lying, Do not deceive others but must live honestly, live honestly with each other. A society where people live honestly with each other, honest with each other is very good. The fifth precept is not to get drunk and addicted to addiction The fifth of the five precepts that Buddhists need to keep is not to be addicted to addictive substances such as alcohol, drugs, cigars, etc. Talk about the harmful effects of addictive substances. , Venerable Thich Truc Thai Minh explained: "Now, there are many addictive things. But the things that affect the physical, affect the personality and intelligence of people, Buddhists are not allowed to use. If it affects, dehumanizes, intellectually declines, or weakens health, Buddhists are not allowed to use it. Because Buddhism is a religion that respects wisdom and respects wisdom. Things that affect our physical bodies also affect our minds. So, Buddhism strictly forbids Buddhists not to be addicted to things that cause illness for them, affecting both brain and intellect. When we use addictive substances to the point of addiction, we will not be able to control our behavior, leading to evil acts such as murder, robbery, causing many mistakes. Nowadays, young people who are passionate about racing but stick to drugs, laugh balls, or drink alcohol and cause traffic accidents are always hot issues of concern to society. For Buddhists, staying away from addiction to substances that harm the body will help avoid going astray, avoiding doing wrong things. Things that affect our physical bodies also affect our minds. Therefore, Buddhism strictly forbids Buddhists not to be addicted to things that cause illness for them, affecting both brain and intellect. The meaning of the Ten Good Karma Sutras How to practice overcoming the five precepts of the Buddha From the five basic ethical principles of lay people (the five precepts), we practice overcoming and progressing as follows: I keep the precepts The first is not to kill, not to kill, and not to kill animals. And when we practice to overcome, we save people, save things, and release lives. Therefore, now in the world, the Association of those who love and protect animals, not only rare and precious animals, but also loves animals. And they condemn the barbaric killing of animals. They condemn it, protect the animals. That is very consistent with the spirit of Buddhism. Not stealing, but knowing how to help people, knowing how to give and make offerings. The second overcoming practice is that we keep the precepts not to steal and steal from people and we give our property away. Stealing is taking someone's property for yourself, now I bring my property, my money, I give it, give it to others, give it to others, help others in difficulty and need. Or maybe for Buddhism, it's called the offering of the temple, the Three Jewels, the monks, we get more blessings from this. That is also the practice of overcoming.” In the folklore, we have a saying: "Good leaves cover torn leaves", or during the resistance war, Uncle Ho launched the movement: "A handful when hungry is equal to a packet when full", with a little help a little, a lot with a lot. much help. This is also a way to practice to overcome the precept of not stealing, we not only do not steal but also know how to give and share our possessions and possessions with everyone. Buddhists must strive to be exemplary citizens of the country, must live fully the duties of a citizen, the duty of family members is to be a child, a wife, Being a husband… The precept not to commit adultery solves the problem of child sexual abuse. Not committing adultery encourages others to live cleanly and faithfully. The third precept that we can keep is not adultery. Buddhists call it adultery. . We do not commit adultery, but we practice overcoming ourselves, encouraging people, teaching people, our children and friends together, to practice living a healthy, clean life between husband and wife. virginity. Then spread good lifestyles and good loves, protect family happiness. We encourage and participate in programs to protect family happiness. That is also the practice of overcoming. We know that, helping to protect the happiness of other people's families, encouraging everyone to live a healthy life, husband and wife agreeing to have good love is a way to practice overcoming in the precept of not committing adultery. Not lying and knowing how to protect the truth, speak the truth The fourth precept we practice is not to lie, not to deceive others. Now, we practice overcoming by vowing to speak the truth. Then we will set an example, we will become honest and sincere people with everyone. And we live with such ideals. Defending the truths, defending the truth, speaking the truth are what we practice to overcome. If everyone becomes a lay Buddhist like that, society and this world will be very nice and peaceful, becoming a pure land right in the middle of this world. The fifth precept: Not to be addicted The fifth precept is not to be addicted. Since we are not addicted to drugs, do not use intoxicants and stimulants that cause us to be mentally deranged, physically weak, we live a healthy life, practice sports, and train our brains. We have such methods, we live very sanely. Then encouraging people to live a healthy life, to build a healthy and good life, are the transcendent practices. Buddhists must try to be exemplary citizens of the country, must live fully the duties of a citizen, a family member's duty is to be a child, a wife, a husband, etc. If we perform well, then we are worthy to be a good Buddhist; A lay disciple of the Buddha is true, true, and devoted.
