Art education of the Buddha.

            

During the Buddha, Buddhist education system began forming and sequential development. Style of the Buddha's teachings not through writing scripts that direct teaching body, speech teacher, the teacher.            

Educational process of the Buddha form the basic foundation for Buddhist education and artistic high science. Buddha image is truly exemplary masters and adept. He can convince people change their lifestyle, accept new values ​​and finding new purpose in these words eloquent sermons and lively. While the masters of contemporary opponents often use magic acts or miracles to entice students to their schools, whereas the Buddha taught only a miracle, it is "the miracle of education training ".

His discourses are often meticulously detailed, clear and logical highlighted the long sermon, preached the sermon own deliberate. Although for some people, or preach to a congregation, he also sought to guide the listener step by step to the ideal that he wanted to establish.

As we all know, the Buddha often used the comparative method seamlessly, drawn from life's daily mass. For example, the work of the farmers, the Buddha related very precise correlation between farm work practice method. Stories Buddha and boasts rich Brahmin Bharadvaja be described this relationship. As a share Bharadvaja Brahmin rice farmers, seeing the Buddha Brahmans also in place farmers are waiting for a share. On this record dialogues between the Brahmans and the Buddha as follows:

"- I plowed and sown after I finished eating. He let it be plowed and sown He then earn a portion of rice.

- This Brahmans also plow and sow, and when we finished we eat.

- We do not see the Master Gotama using yoke or plow, why have you told that?

- I planted the seed of right, plow intelligence, effort is plowing oxen, the fruits of our labor is immortal status. Anyone done work that will be freed of suffering "

Thus, the Buddha dharma planted the seed in the mind of a Brahmin, he was used by the seed metaphor is very appropriate in the circumstances Bharavadvaja Brahmin. The way education was so effective immediately. The seeds of the Buddha word planted in his mind, thanks to the inspiration of the Buddha and built confidence after awakening. Buddhist Brahmins were applying to become ordained monks.

Also, in conversations with individuals Buddha often uses several academic approach makes the conversation became lively debate often makes people articulate their views and accept a certain ideological stance.

However, when it comes to metaphysical matters, unrealistic irrelevant to practice and practice leading to liberation for these problems, the question will receive the silence from where Him.

As in the case of pagan wanderer has placed 10 Vacchagotta metaphysical questions the Buddha said, "The world is permanent? Is not permanent? Margin is useful? Is infinite? Life and body are one or the other? Tathagata exist after death? Tathagata does not exist after death? Tathagata does not exist and not exist after death?

While Vacchagotta proved very disturbed almost other problems haunting the Buddha mindful attention to this man always looking bewildered. If at that time the Buddha preached at length about such metaphysical truth accidentally make the other poor guy was confused even more confused. So he cleans the question aside by silence, no answer.

Do not stop there, the problem has been repeated again and put skepticism when Vacchagotta problem of abode of an Arhat go on after death as follows: "O Venerable Gotama a bhikkhu liberated mind Such posthumous birth Where? and also because he wanted to dispel the argument cheerleading and theater forms and bring preconceptions about the self or the soul's eternal Vaccha. So religious metaphors used to fire rescue and the Vaccha liberal mind.

The Buddha said: "This is the fire Vaccha off in front of him, that fire in any direction, the East, the West, the North or the South. He was answering questions such as how? ".

Through metaphor full of artistic illustration and science education through the way of the Buddha, Vacchagotta finally realized that if the fire burns up due to the supply of raw materials as source material that is no longer the direction the flames do not go out off the public.

At that time wanderer Vacchagotta understand why the silence from the Buddha often illogical questions of life, perhaps it is the silence that has brought great for Vacchagotta effective than any answer or agreement public, and also in the sacred moment memorable Vacchagotta dikes were extremely bowed respected Venerable praise: "It's rather wonderful! Venerable Gotama! As the upright what was thrown fell, exposing what is concealed, the only way to distract, to bring light into the dark so that those who have eyes can see colors, too , Dhamma Venerable Gotama has been used many presenters explained. I go for refuge in the venerable Gotama, France Refuge, Refuge Sangha. I do wish he came to receive his disciples, from now until the overall network lifetime embraced willingly. "

In summary, although the discourse analysis or conversation, debate. Buddha use a variety of educational approaches standard practice. He aimed at the knowledge level of the learner and preached the same idea in different ways, depending on the physical nature and the listener. He begins by understanding what they have and insist on it as a fundamental principle in all his teachings. He did not mention the speculation and wasting time trying to exhort us to "Know the real thing as it is contemporary."

In general, throughout the year the Buddha was alive on the path of success of his pants missionaries being flexible and practical implementation. His flexibility makes people have confidence in the Dhamma, abandoning previous mistakes due to the fact he has done for countless people away from evil is awakened, clinging so long that they love blurred as in the evening. And all his successes were due to his fine art in three ways, depending on the legal theory that he used objects as in the economic way of saying "Hey, Kosi, do something for those who should be subdued, sometimes peaceful, sometimes tough, sometimes peacefully just as strong, "and" There are cases to answer him directly, have analyzed his case, he also cases solved by asking and also his issues aside "

And during the 45 years of wandering in the commodities, most of his followers were each honored Him as masters of heaven and human species (Satha Devamanussanam) is upset that convince people (Prurisa Dhammsarathi) are two of the ten titles used in the form of revered Buddha. Through the scriptures He was honored masters as "Blessed is the one leading the caravan director, because he gave the tour of the house.

As a direct result put them travel through the desert, full of bandits, no food, no water, causing them to pass, pass an adaptive way, taking them to the peaceful lands. Likewise, How do religious pilgrim pilot level, the pilgrims take home, put them through the desert and the birth and death of the Buddha was in the world of innumerable beings who follow him ask out Date a crowded, forming a very large congregation monks strong, chemical distribution went everywhere preaching.

In it lay not to mention every house has always supported his church from the physical media, enabling them to practice Boost. So, in the Buddha's time, the congregation under the leadership of World religion has created a very strong reputation, it affects the social life of his time. Blessed are very interested and paying attention to the present life and the future of our chart.

His goal is to bring all his disciples to overcome pools of birth and death, to find peace and happiness in the present life and eternal future. And so the Buddha monks always respected him as navigational level, he has brought the truth to the population living enlightenment. This is a good relationship between masters and their disciples of the Buddha's time.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGHTFOLD PATH.NAM MO SAKYA MUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.6/10/2014.
