What is the predestined predestined Buddha's law to settle down in the summer? The summer residence has great significance for both monastic and household goods. That is the time when monks and nuns spend their time studying, consolidating body and mind, and cultivating Precepts of Concentration. Meaning of Seclusion in the Summer, the Buddha established the precepts to allow the rainy season to settle down, recorded in the Vinaya as follows: "At that time, the Blessed One was living in Rajagaha, Veḷuvana (Truc Lam). ), where the squirrels are raised. At that time, residence in the rainy season had not been prescribed by the Blessed One for the bhikkhus. In this case, those bhikkhus traveled during the cold season, during the hot season, and also during the rainy season. People complain, criticize, and disparage that: - Why do the Sakyamuni Samanas travel in the cold season, in the hot season, and also in the rainy season? You are trampling on green grass, is harming the lives of the single-sensory species, and is causing the mass killing of many small sentient beings. Even these pagan wanderers whose teachings are badly taught still cling and live in the rainy season, even these birds, after nesting in the treetops, cling and live fixedly in the rainy season. ; and these Sakyamuni recluses travel in the cold season, in the hot season, and also in the rainy season. You are trampling on green grass, harming the life of a single-sense species, and causing the mass killing of many small sentient beings. The bhikkhus have heard such people complaining, criticizing, and disparaging. Then those bhikkhus reported the matter to the Blessed One. At that time, the World-Honored One, for that reason, on that occasion gave a sermon and told the Bhikkhus that: - O Bhikkhus, I allow rain (vassaṃ) in the season of retreat.” During the retreat season, practitioners have the opportunity to consolidate their knowledge of Buddhist studies, learn from the experiences of the elders, and learn from the elders. It can be said that the Buddha's teachings through the experienced guidance of the respected ones will become more vivid and practical than ever. Thanks to continuous improvement, the practice of Precepts-Concentration-Wisdom is increasing day by day. You lay Buddhists will be the protectors of the Dharma and the monks who have enough material conditions to practice peace of mind in these 3 months. In the past, every day the Buddha and his disciples went to hold the alms pot for alms, it was to create good conditions for sentient beings, to create opportunities for sentient beings to plant fields of merit, and at the same time to preach the Dharma. Sentient beings make offerings to the Buddha and the monks to create blessings for themselves, Listen to the Dharma to develop wisdom, apply it to life, increase blessings and have peace and happiness in the present and in the future. Talking about cultivating merit, ie cultivating the root of happiness, if there are no material conditions, lay people will be limited when practicing kusala. It is difficult for us to fully and completely practice the dharmas of giving, including talent, dharma giving and fearlessness, making offerings, publishing scriptures, building pagodas, creating statues, building ashrams to study and support. Four things for monks and nuns to practice, support for monks and nuns to propagate the Dharma. The three-month retreat is an opportunity to help the Bhikkhus seriously practice full courses of study, including elaboration, chanting, repentance, zazen, going on the road, etc., instead of just a means of practicing one. some times like the rest of the months. In the temples and monasteries of the North, lay people can practice together with the monks through the sessions. This creates conditions for us to cultivate the power of mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom, and progress on the path to liberation. Besides, by regularly going to the temple to study, to be close to the virtuous ones, we will understand the practical methods of transforming greed, hatred, delusion, and defilements. And you have to remember that to fulfill your blessings of wisdom and practice. Don't just focus on charity, freeing, and making offerings, but forget the task of taking care of yourself, which also needs enlightenment and liberation. Blessings of wisdom and practice is the way of practice for many generations of the Buddha's children. Depending on the situation and ability, we are flexible to do it. Just do it even though you know it's not perfect. Because the result will be good from the good deeds sown. This life is not enough, we vow that the next life will supplement and continue to cultivate merit and wisdom. The way to peace and happiness, overcoming obstacles is within our reach!
