Which is More Precious: Money or Buddhist Quintessence
Ngày đăng: 31-01-2021
In this world
- Enslaved by body satisfaction, one ignores the dignity of a human.
- Enslaved by money, one disregards the morality of a practitioner.
Student ask:
Uncle, Buddhism has quintessence but I do not see any Pagoda teaching quintessence of Buddhism?
Teacher answer:
The quintessence of buddhism has written in the Zen Buddhism Science Teaching book. Unfortunately, Zen Buddhism has been suppressed, so its quintessence is only known to a few. Until the Legendary Diary of the Buddha transmitted through Zen Buddhism is republished, Buddhist quintessence will be exposed to the world.
For any religion, it is an honor if its quintessence is imparted to many people. However, a great number of monks are afraid that the more popular quintessence of Buddhism is, the less people attend the worship services they hold (i.e. no income), so they try to eradicate by all means. Hence, there’s no chance to popularize Buddhist quintessence. Shakyamuni Buddha also said that Buddhist Quintessence would not be able to popularize in this money-oriented world.
Student ask:
Buddhism has 6 Dharma method, in which Zen Zong Dharma is one of a kind on the earth, but Why do some monks, parties, or administrative committees
of the National Buddhist Association are determined to wipe out Zen Buddhism?
Teacher answer:
Indeed, if the quintessence of buddhism is exposed to the world there will be no praying, reciting, bowing... that is why they come together to put an end to zen buddhism. If they let Zen Buddhism develop the number of people go to pagoda to pray and pay homage will decline. Therefore, they try to get rid of Zen Buddhism in every way possible. It is the nature of this physical world. However, It is uncertain whether zen zong dharma could survive or perish. When I am getting weak zen buddhism will be endangered. As long as I am alive, I will preserve it. Such is life.
Student ask:
Uncle, thanks to Zen Zong Dharma, king Tran Nhan Tong attained Buddhahood, but some monks in the National Buddhist Association of Vietnam have said that Zen Zong Dharma belongs to Satan so do they imply king Tran Nhan Tong practiced an evil path?
Teacher answer:
Yes, it is the power of money, the affluence makes them blind so long that they forget the quintessence of Buddhism. King Tran Nhan Tong is well known as a buddha king not a demon king in our history, isn’t he? Enslaved by money, materialistic monks totally forget the quintessence of buddhism. How can they label a King who gave up the kingship to go after Zen Buddhism in Yen Tu mountain a Demon King. So sad!
Afraid of losing personal interests, the materialistic monks criticite zen buddhism by all kinds of dirty words. They indirectly lash out at king tran nhan tong, the 34th patriarch of zen zong stream. Why? It's all because of money. In this world, materializm erodes the dignity of a monk and eats up the morality of the sangha. Because of money, because of self-interest, they do whatever, even violate civilized morality or religious ethics. Criticizing others with bad words are uneducated citizens. The well- educated never behave like that.
Student ask:
Buddhism is a Path to liberation but why no pagoda in Vietnam practices liberation?
Teacher answer:
The “Liberation” term has come along the Zen Zong Dhama flow since Buddha taught 2561 years ago. Currently, it has been released anew for 3 years (since the publish of the legendary diary of the Buddha in 2017). Before its publishing, who knows what liberation is? however, after hearing the “liberation” word, many people go against it Although Buddhism is about liberation and enlightenment.
Currently, in Ho Chi Minh city, there is a pagoda named enlightenment, but it does not know what enlightenment is. There is a newspaper named enlightenment but it has never written anything about enlightenment, but just publishes life affairs, traveling, religious sightseeing, worship rituals.... Authors of a newspaper are outstanding intellectuals, so We anticipate authors of an Enlightenment newspaper are intellectuals practicing Buddhism. However, any of us have seen an article presenting enlightenment for 44 years, haven’t we? It is so obvious that in the Ending Dharma Age, people are practicing for money not for quintessence of Buddhism.
