The concept of ordination or ordination was a pre-Buddhist ideal. Vedic texts divide an individual's life into four stages, the last of which is celibacy. The six heretic teachers, who were also contemporaries of the Buddha, were those who had renounced worldly life. Sukumar Dutt, in Early Buddhism, refers to wanderers who have renounced worldly life, designated by titles like pravrajaka, b bhikkhu, samana, yati, sannyasin, etc. when they seek renunciation, they seek the highest (sacca) and highest truth. virtue (kusala). However, the Buddha, who was also a person who renounced the worldly life, was different from those wanderers and ascetic. According to the Susima-sutta of Samyutta Nikaya, Buddhist practices were advanced. Susima, a wanderer, was ordained in the Buddhist Sangha under the misconception that the spiritual life in Buddhism is the attainment of various supernatural powers. However, the Buddha and several Arahants later explained to him that this was not the case. The meaning of the spiritual life in Buddhism is to live in accordance with the Dhamma that leads to the attainment of Nirvana. At this stage the bhikkhu realizes the five aggregates are impermanent and through the understanding of Dependent Origination a bhikkhu attains Nirvana declaring 'birth has ended, spiritual life is lived, has been lived. done what had to be done and nothing more. will be fulfilled in life. ' In the Samyutta Nikaya, the Buddha explains that one cannot become a bhikkhu simply begging and wandering with unwholesome things. According to Buddha, a bhikkhu is one who has renounced merit as a sin in this world and observes the life of celibacy with a pure mind. A bhikkhu is one who does not acquire merit (punya), but performs wholesome activities (kusalakamma). Punya is for lay followers, kusala is for monastics striving on the path to Nirvana. The Mahatanhakkhaya-sutta of Majjhima Nikaya explains the nature of a bhikkhu as a bird that flies only with his wings: a happy bhikkhu with a robe to use his body, food to use when hungry, like a bird using its wings anywhere. it flies. These statements in various suttas show that the Buddha gave a very different and standard definition of a bhikkhu in Buddhism. The Buddhist concept of ordination is practically conceived and is a natural step towards liberation. Buddhist teachings are more practical than metaphysical as in other religions. Buddhist practice, once done, eventually leads to liberation. According to the Oghatarana-sutta of the Samyutta Nikaya, the Buddha overcame the flood of samsara by neither pushing forward nor staying still (flood/stream). The Buddha explained that if he stayed, he might drown and if he tried too hard, he might lose his achievement. So no need to stay and bother, he made his way through the flood (stream). This shows that the middle way feature of the Buddhist path is not extreme. The Buddha who was not an extremist crossed the stream smoothly; he did not stay in the middle of the stream, nor did he rush across the stream. He crossed the stream while taking the middle path. Such a meaningful life has attracted many people to the spiritual life under the guidance of Buddha. Initially, when the size of the Sangha was smaller, it was the Buddha who ordained a monk. However, as the Dharma continued to spread, many people wished to become ordained but were unable to do so. It was difficult to meet the Buddha, as he was the only one with the authority to give ordination but was still traveling from place to place giving teachings. At this stage, the Buddha decided to allow his disciples to be ordained for those who aspire to enter the Order. The power to ordained, until the Buddha finally allowed other monks to do so, remained entirely with him. The Buddha's ordination at that time was called 'ehi b bhikkhu pabbajja', which means 'O monk, come and be ordained', an invitation for those who have expressed an interest in joining. Current. The first person to receive this ordination was Kondanna, who was the first to understand the Buddha's first sermon among the first five disciples. Second, the remaining four disciples requested the Buddha to be ordained and were ordained in the same way. When the number of candidates is more than one, the Buddha used the plural form: etha bosystemhavo'ti. According to both the Vinaya and its commentaries, there are thousands of monks who received the ehi b bhikkhu pabbajja, taking the Buddha as their teacher. The type of ordination by disciples (with the Buddha's permission) to impart ordination to newcomers to the sangha is called tisarana pabbajja. This means taking the precepts by uttering the Three Jewels separately three times. The form of ordination tisarana was established after the Buddha delegated the authority to give the ordination. Furthermore, there was no distinction between being ordained as samanera (hospitalization) or upasampada (higher ordination) during the Buddha's lifetime. In both formulations, ehi b bhikkhu pabbajja and tisarana pabbajja, the monks automatically receive full ordination at the same time when taking specific ordination. The most important purpose of joining the Order at that time was neither seniority nor beginner, but to practice spirituality to end suffering and its underlying causes.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.16/6/2022.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
