In human life, the most important thing is jewels, jewels, social status, but for Buddhism, the Three Jewels are precious trinity, but we cannot find them in material life. The Three Jewels bring noble qualities to people so that people can realize the value of life, which we call the truth like a bright lamp illuminating the way in the dark, like a boat carrying people across the sea. through the storm. The Three Jewels were formed when the Buddha turned the Dharma wheel for the first time in the Deer Park for five brothers Kieu Tran Nhu. Buddha Shakyamuni is the Buddha, the Four Noble Truths are the Dharma, and the five brothers Kieu Tran Nhu are the Sangha. From here, the Three Jewels are the ability to help people get rid of suffering in the present and future lives. Realizing this means that we see the noble value of the Three Jewels B . Contents of the Three Jewels I - Buddha Treasure In Sanskrit, it is called Buddha, in China, it is translated as Buddha Da, which means the enlightened, awakened person, also known as Buddha. The word Buddha is meant to refer to those who have attained enlightenment. A Buddha has 10 titles (decades) Buddha has meanings such as: 1) Self-awareness: Self-realize the truth of things and phenomena. 2) Enlightenment: After understanding the truth, bring that understanding to others to understand like you. 3) Perfect Enlightenment: Realizing self- satisfaction and forgiveness is fully fulfilling the Buddha's virtues. Buddha has three virtues (three virtues) * Departure (Dharma body virtue) : eliminate all defilements or smuggled. * Wisdom virtue (Phampatti Virtue): can use wisdom, in order to perform good dharmas to achieve liberation. * Virtue (Freedom virtue): always benefit sentient beings to help them get rid of suffering II - DHARMA-RATNA. It's called Dharma in Sanskrit, and it's translated as "Dharma" in Chinese, which means "Dharma." It includes the three sacred scriptures: sutras, laws and treatises. In the A-Ham Sutra, there are five functions of the Dharma: 1) Be practical in the present moment. 2) Make people see their own nature. 3) Having the ability to help sentient beings reach Buddhahood: "I am a Buddha who has already achieved, you are Buddhas will become." 4) Beyond time and space. 5) Practice has immediate results. Buddha's teachings are handed down from generation to generation to help people rely on that place to practice to achieve peace and liberation, we call it Dharma. The Dharma is combined with the following three things to form: The Buddha is the first person to be enlightened to the Dharma and become a Buddha, the Sangha is the great assembly that relies on the Dharma to practice. These are the two thrones of realizing and experimenting with the Dharma. If we separate from the Dharma, we cannot exist. Thus the Dharma is the focus of the Buddha. The Buddha taught the Dharma using words, later recorded in writing, all of which are interpretations of the Dharma, in order to convey thoughts and feelings to all species, like a finger pointing to the moon. Although not directly but indirectly help people understand the Fa. -The French Mind: This is the Dharma that includes the awareness range of the mind. In the mind scene, there are 2 types: a) The Dharma Realm: Buddhism believes that the six senses are in contact with the six senses, leading to six consciousnesses, so create into scene.Scene recognition: Nhan consciousness, ear consciousness, rate consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness and consciousness, in which the first 5 consciousnesses are distinguished as color, sound, taste, and contact. Here, there is only the consciousness that clearly distinguishes the difference, so it is called the Dharma apartheid . b) Necessary Dharma: Consciousness knows not only the Dharma but all the senses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind that Consciousness can perceive. So all are Dharma, collectively called necessarily Dharma. - Refuge in the Dharma: The Dharma method that helps Buddhist learners to rely on that place to practice, not to rely on words because this is only a trace of the Buddhadharma, which can be divided into 3 types: True Dharma, Middle Way Dharma and release the solution. III - THE THIRD MEMBER OF THE TRIRATNA. Sanskrit is Sangha, Chinese translation is Sangha, which means a harmonious, pure group of 4 or more monks, sharing the same ideal towards enlightenment and liberation. 1-The increase must be expressed through five things: a-Ran Sang (Sangha) : Determine the ideal of the monastic . b-The Sangha: The body of the Sangha is: Wisdom, Liberation, Purity and Harmony. c-Sangha: As a monk, he must practice the Dharma, which is expressed through body practice (four positions: walking, standing, lying down, sitting) and practicing the Dharma with a spiritual life. d-Increase virtue: lifestyle virtue of a home person with noble virtues full of Buddha nature through body, speech and mind g-gift giving: the fruition of a monk after practice. 2-Why do we call it the three jewels? "True treasure is rare, Pure access to power, Energy dignifies the world, Ultimate victory is invariable". Translated: What is true and precious in the world is rare, There is nothing in the world that is Insightful , It beautifies the world, It is the unchanging supreme dharma. Note: -It's rare: in this world it's rare. -Minh purity: is clear and transparent. - Force: nothing can destroy? -Dignified: make your father happy? - Evening victory: there is nothing equal. -Immutability: nothing fades the flow. C . The essential spirit of the Sangha To build a strong family union, it must first show the spirit of solidarity and harmony. That is why since the establishment of the Sangha, the Buddha has devised a way to maintain the development of the Sangha and make the Buddha Dharma strong. Therefore, if there is no Sangha in pure harmony, it is difficult to propagate the Buddhadharma. The Buddha gave 6 methods of harmony. * Six peace rituals : Luc Hoa is also known as the six reconciliations, a method of building mass organizations to make the organizational system strong, meeting the requirements of society? Luc Hoa also helps the Sangha community. growing old with positive factors, resolving internal conflicts to come to unity, harmony and purity. 1/ Co-existence : Living together must know harmony to create a friendly bond. Comply with the regulations set forth by the community organization towards the common purpose, eliminating unnecessary differences in the community. life. 2/ Harmony of speech : Must be tolerant of each other, speak to each other with lovely words like the old virtues often teach: "Speak as the Dharma, silence as the Dharma" 3/ The idea of harmony and approval: Also known as the idea of ​​peace or harmony, while living together without anyone accepting anyone's opinion, the group must disband. must practice the spirit of the Four Immeasurables. 4/ The precepts of harmony and cultivation: The precepts of the Buddha made for everyone to abide by the fact that everyone must have a common ideal. This is the basic foundation for living together in a community. 5/ Viewing harmony and understanding i: ( Dong Kien and respects ) This is the way we call it to express the division, because Buddhism is the way to build people in the spirit of compassion and wisdom. People follow Buddhism when If you learn and practice with results, you must present it to everyone to follow along without selfishly hiding 6/ Harmonious benefits: Having blessings, sharing, having difficulties together is the spirit of Buddhist learners. According to the ancient view of people being narrow and selfish, for Buddhist learners, it must always be for the sake of the spirit of profit. forgive or open one's heart Through the 6 reverence rituals, we realize that not only the Sangha community but also all families in the social community who know how to flexibly apply this spirit will create a happy family. As for monks and nuns, it is a guideline to help the Church be strong, the organizational system has a complete orientation. It is also a good example for everyone who wants to turn to Buddhism. D . The Three Jewels have three levels I - The Three Jewels (Self-nature Three Jewels): 1) The same Buddha Bao: All sentient beings have all the same qualities as the Buddhas, no different from "the Saints do not increase in the world nor decrease". 2) The same Dharma Bao: All beings have the same virtue of compassion, equality... 3) The same Sangha: All living beings have pure and harmonious qualities. II - Out of the Three Jewels: 1) Out of the world Buddha said: Only for the Buddha in the 10 directions 3 times (past, present and future). 2) Out of the world Dharma : Only for the Buddha's teachings have the ability to help sentient beings get rid of the bondage of the world. 3) Out of the world Sangha: Only for the saints who have liberated all suffering, such as: Ca Lettuce, Sariputra. III - World Abbot Three Jewels:. 1) World Abbot Buddha Bao: Only for Buddha images, relics that we cherish 2) World Abbot Dharma Treasure: Only for the Tripitaka, which is recorded on paper, leaves... 3 ) World Abbot Sangha Bao : Only for those who have left home to practice and practice the true Dharma lineage of the Buddha. E - Perception of Buddhists towards the Three Jewels 1) Establishment of the image of Buddha Bao (Buddha): a/ The Buddha is a guide (guru): Buddhists come to Buddhism to find the truth, in order to realize the truth of life through the Buddha's image for us to see. He is a Teacher as He taught; "The Tathagata is only a guide, each person has to go by himself, no one can take his place . " He advised his disciples: "You are your own refuge, no one else can be your refuge. ' and the Buddha concluded: 'You should do your work, for the Tathagatas only teach the way. b/ The Buddha is a physician (great medical king): Buddha often asserts that he is a physician. "The Tathagata is a physician who knows illness and gives medicine, whether to drink or not depends on each person." c/ The Buddha is not a supernatural being: The concept of Buddhism sees the Buddha as just a guide, a physician, the Buddha never gave himself a power to bring blessings to anyone. He was born as a human, lived normally as a human, and retired from life as a human. A Brahmin asked who he was. The Buddha said: "As a beautiful and lovely lotus, unstained by mud and turbid water, in the midst of dust I am not entangled in dirt, So I am Buddha" ( Anguttara Nikaya ). 2) A Buddhist for the Dharma: Man is the master he can change his own life, no one can be anyone else. Therefore, a child of the Buddha is one who must aim at the main purpose of Buddhism, which the Buddha often taught: "The waters of the four seas have only one taste, that is, the taste of desire. That taste is the liberator . " As for the Buddha's teachings, Buddhists must consider it as a cure for their illnesses, as the ancient virtues often teach: "Sick beings are multi-diseased, Buddha Dharma is multi-directional". 3) Buddhists to the Sangha: In Buddhism, it is often mentioned: "the four groups of initiates" (Bhikkhus, Bhikkhunis, near male and near female) that we call the four groups. For them ordained, they study, apply practice, practice, and teach the Buddha's teachings to them at home, on the contrary, they have responsibilities outside of the household to practice together and progress on the path of liberation. But both lay people and monastics are Buddhist disciples, it is the relationship in practice that helps both have conditions to progress together spiritually. H . Conclude By true belief in the Three Jewels with the virtues of Enlightenment, liberation, compassion, equality, purity and harmony, the Three Jewels are the power to help all beings have an orientation free from prejudices, That is why, as Buddhists, we must have a correct perception of the Three Jewels on which we rely. Only then will the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha be useful to life and faith. Faith Faith has the opportunity to shine. Coming to the Three Jewels is to learn and apply practice to avoid all mistakes when we live in conditions far from the Buddha's ancestors. Because only the way to receive the truth is the way to create true belief "Come to see, not come to believe".END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.13/7/2021.
