Vu Lan is an abbreviation, if fully said, is Vu Lan Bon. Vu Lan Bon is the salvation of the hanging upside down, the Sanskrit word is Ulambana, or Avalamba means "hanging upside down". Some authors say that the word "Ben" is a Chinese word that means "pot", which means a pot containing offerings to the Buddha and monks. Venerable Muc Kien Lien is a great disciple of the Buddha, and is revered as the first divine person. After the results of Arahantship. He used his celestial eye to look around the worlds and saw his mother being tormented by hunger and thirst in the life of the hungry ghost. The venerable then took the bowl of rice down to the hungry ghost realm and gave it to his mother. Mom took the bowl of rice and put it in her mouth, and the rice turned into red embers that couldn't be eaten. Venerable Muc Kien Lien did not know what to do, so he returned to ask the Buddha to help him. The Buddha said: "Your mother lived many lives of greed and stinginess, so she had to suffer as a hungry ghost. He alone could not save her. On the occasion of the full moon day of the seventh month, he organized an offering to the Buddha and the saints. Thanks to the power of the Buddha's vows in the ten directions and the Sangha in the ten directions, his mother was able to escape." The venerable Muc Kien Lien obeyed the Buddha's teaching, on the full moon day of the seventh month is the day of the Sangha's death, bringing food, lamps, wax, flowers... The mother of Venerable Muc Kien Lien relies on the power of the precepts and virtues of the monks of the ten directions, and also thanks to the merit of generosity and sincerity of Venerable Muc Kien Lien, which soon got rid of the suffering of hungry ghosts, the suffering like that of a person hanging upside down, and ascended to the good realms. On that occasion, Buddha Shakyamuni taught Venerable Muc Kien Lien that: "As a disciple of the Buddha who has the virtue of filial piety and obedience, you must regularly record your gratitude to your parents in this life to your parents in seven generations. Every year On the full moon day of the seventh month, you should do Vu Lan Bon ceremony, make offerings to the Buddha and the Sangha, to repay your parents' favor of being born and nurture them, pray for them to live for a hundred years, and be born in the next hundred years after their death. good realm". The Vu Lan Bon Sutra is mainly circulated in Asian Buddhist countries, where there is a deep tradition of honoring parents and worshiping ancestors. Vu Lan festival is celebrated by the people of these lands as a great festival of the year and throughout the country, a day of gratitude and filial piety to parents, grandparents, elders, as well as to all deserving people. be grateful, but first of all thanks to parents and grandparents for up to seven generations. In Vietnam, China, Japan, Korea and many other countries in Southeast Asia, Vu Lan festival is widely responded to by the masses. It can be said that everyone, including non-Buddhists, Confucian or Taoist families, also celebrate Vu Lan, on that holiday to commemorate grandparents and parents for seven generations, to thank the teacher. teaching, the national gratitude as well as the gratitude of all sentient beings. In the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism, we can read that the Buddha's words about filial piety are complete, vivid and specific, words that only the Buddha who is a great wisdom can say. "Monks, there are two classes of people, I say cannot repay. What is two? That is mother and father. If one shoulder carries the mother, the other shoulder carries the father, do so for a hundred years. Until the parents are one hundred years old, so, bhikkhus, they have not done enough to repay their mother and father. convenience, urination, even so, bhikkhus, have not done enough to repay mother and father... (Tang Chi I, 75) The Northern sects that talk about filial piety are also many, in addition to the Vu Sutras. Lan Bon out, can tell other sutras such as: The Sutras of Forbearance, the Great Collection of Sutras, the Fourteenth and Twelve Chapters of the Sutras, etc., the words in these sutras are as compelling and vivid as in the Theravada sutras. Forbearance said: "The extreme of kindness, nothing more than filial piety; extreme evil, nothing more than filial piety.” Sutra Forty-two Chapters says: “Anyone who worships ghosts and spirits is not as good as their parents. Parents are the ultimate gods.” The Great Tape Sutra says, “If there is no Buddha in the world, then well worship your parents. Being skillful in worshiping parents is the same as worshiping Buddha well.” Thus, the scriptures of Southern and Northern Buddhism both talk about filial piety and attach great importance to filial piety. Not fully understanding the liberation teachings of the Buddha, thinking that monks do not have wives and children, they do not have children to inherit the sect, they consider it unfilial because they misunderstand the Buddhist ideal of ordination. Renunciation does not mean renouncing parents and relatives. Renunciation only means giving up worldly fame, giving up all narrow and selfish feelings, giving up the three poisons of greed, hatred, and delusion. Buddhist books often talk about ordination and renunciation. Shaving your hair, wearing a robe and entering the temple is just a ordination. Abandoning narrow love, giving up ordinary worldly fame, giving up all lowly desires for food, money, fame, beauty, sleeping, giving up greed and hatred is called renunciation. The monk, after ordination, accepts all sentient beings, everyone in society as his parents, brothers, and children, and loves with a love that does not discriminate. Shakyamuni Buddha is honored as the Father of Mercy, that is, the good father, because he loves all sentient beings as his only son. All monastics too, follow the example of the good father, and consider everyone in society as their parents, brothers, and sisters. Moreover, monastics fulfill their filial piety in a different way. That is, by building faith for parents who lack faith, encouraging parents to give up evil and do good, encouraging parents to give alms and study the Dharma, attaining true wisdom. And doing so, according to the Buddha's words, is to pay filial piety to parents in the most complete way. The word filial piety does not mean that whatever parents do, they agree, even if they do evil or do bad things. Even filial piety must have wisdom. Buddhism refers to the word Nhan and the word Hieu like Confucianism, but with a much broader content, as can be seen from the opening sentence that summarizes the entire meaning of the collection of folk poems "Nam Hai Quan Am". very popular among the Vietnamese people: "Truth like Buddhism is very colorful, The heart is filial, the first word is human, Hieu is the salvation of two parents, Humanity is the salvation of all species. ... In the time of filial piety. newspaper of birth, Under the people's time to save sentient beings, "Rescuing parents from the cycle of life and death is the most complete and perfect way to pay filial piety to parents, but not everyone can do it. Only if we can save ourselves, we can save our parents. That's what the Buddha Quan Am Dieu Thien did in the story of Nam Hai Quan Am.But all of us, whether ordained or stay at home, have it. We can fully repay our parents, if we study and practice according to the Buddha's teachings in the Anguttara Nikāya, Volume I, page 75: "Those who repay the favor by nurturing and making offerings to their parents with wealth Quality, money and time are never enough to repay parents. But, bhikkhus, whoever does not have faith in their parents should encourage their parents to abide in faith; for parents who follow the evil precepts, it is recommended to guide their parents to stay in the good precepts; for parents who are not greedy, encourage their parents to stay in almsgiving; For parents who follow evil wisdom, parents are encouraged to abide in wisdom. Until then, bhikkhus, that means doing enough and repaying your father and mother enough.” Those teachings of the Buddha, all of us Buddhists can practice. We are all disciples. Buddha, the Buddha's children. We all have taken the Three Refuges: taking refuge in the Buddha, taking refuge in the Dharma, and taking refuge in the Sangha. believe in the Three Jewels, and gradually move towards the Three Refuges. Refuge also includes refuge and refuge. Taking refuge in the Three Jewels is just taking refuge. We still have to explain it to our parents clearly. What are the benefits of taking refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha? telling lies, divisive speech, evil talk, and meaningless talk, we must advise parents to give up evil and do good, encourage parents to release living beings, instead of killing; give alms instead of taking what is not given; live righteous conduct instead of wrong conduct; tell the truth instead of lying; speak solidarity instead of division; speak gentle instead of cruel; speak meaningful words instead of nonsense... The Buddha's teachings, although spoken more than two and a half thousand years ago, are still hot news for our society today. Those words are worthy of being a gold standard for our lives, for all our behavior in the family as well as in society. Let's all live according to the teachings of the Buddha, we will immediately be peaceful and happy. If we do the opposite, we will be unhappy and miserable. For the benefit of all, of the many, let's spread widely those golden teachings of the Buddha. Each of us, not just monks, must speak the Dharma, speak it well, so that the wheel of the Dharma will always turn, and the lamp of the Dharma will shine day and night. The Buddha once said: "Of all the forms of giving, the giving of the Dharma is first". So we all must learn to speak the Dharma, know how to speak the Dharma, and speak the Dharma well. Don't think that speaking the Dharma is about posting the Dharma, speaking for two or three hours straight and citing many scriptures to preach the Dharma. In the Dhammapada, the Buddha once admonished that: "Speaking a hundred thousand words is not as good as saying a single word to make the listener's mind peaceful". Studying the Dharma is learning what the Buddha taught to know clearly what is good and what is unwholesome; What is the root of good and bad? Do not kill, do not take what is not given, not engaging in sexual misconduct, not lying, not speaking with two tongues, not speaking maliciously, not speaking frivolously, not covetously, not being angry, having right views is good. The opposite is unwholesome. Greed, hatred and delusion is the root of akusala. The opposite is good. Studying and then applying that knowledge to one's own daily life and encouraging others to apply it is called the practice. Studying the Dharma and practicing the Dharma is the dual life of Buddhists. That lifestyle is both in line with the Vietnamese morality of cultivating virtue and virtue, and at the same time expressing the true meaning of a Buddhist son who knows how to live for himself and for others. That is the best way of filial piety and gratitude for each of us Buddhists.not lying, not double-tongued, not slanderous, not frivolous, not greedy, not angry, having right view is good.
