What Buddhist believe.!
The human population on earth has been increasing by the
millions over the years. How can this be explained in terms of rebirth? Buddhists
do not accept Heaven & Hell these places are eternal. The Buddha's Teaching
shows us that there are heavens and hells not only beyond this world, but in
this very world itself. the Buddhist heavens and Buddhist hells are very
different from the concepts of Heaven and Hell in other religious
traditions.There is no god behind the scene of heaven and hell. Each and every
person experiences according to his good and bad kamma. 6 hells.
The Dhammapada, the best known Buddhist scripture:
"better than going to heaven, better than lordship over all worlds, is the
reward of the first step in holiness.“The Buddha taught that heavens and hells
exist not only outside our world, but also within our world, within us.
4.
Peace & Happiness
We cannot find reality happiness but only we can reach
by practice meditation. In Dhammapad, without
Victory begets enmity; the defeated dwell in pain. Happily the peaceful live,
discarding both victory and defeat. (Dhp 201)
Wisdom springs from meditation; without meditation wisdom
wanes. Having known these two paths of progress and decline, let a man so
conduct himself that his wisdom may increase.
(Dhp 282). After we see peaceful society
and mind the happiness follow us immediately.
5.
The ways of Practice
I want to explain the essential
of Vajjiyana Buddhist practice expect from Theravada because I have already
mention above about Theravada practice.
In Vajjiyana Buddhism –
1. Empowerment-
receive blessing from the deity
2. Oral
Transmission- follow a chanting text to do the practice
3. Explanation-
practices correctly (it can bring full
awakening in one lifetime)
In Mayanana Buddhism –
1.
Principle- means to awaken to the
Truth through the doctrine, with a deep faith that all sentient beings have the
same true nature.
2.
2. Practice- They are: accepting
adversity, adapting to conditions, seeking nothing, and acting in accordance
with the Dharma.

Dhamma ( Ultimate True)
› There
are three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth said
Buddha. Eightfold Path is the Middle way because it is neither optimistic nor
pessimistic
Basic on thus Middle way we can realize … what exactly meaning of
four noble truth
known as..
› Suffering
› Course
of suffering
› Secession
of suffering
› The
way leading to secession of suffering
Realizing this fact, let the
wise man, restrained by morality, hasten to clear the path leading to Nibbana. (
Verse 289- Magga Vaga)
7.
Conclusion
All of the way of Buddhist practice
is the important for all Buddhist but only one thing that we should follow what
Buddha taught really us avoiding form other outside teaching of Buddha .
because some teaching in Buddhism, they are really missing with their
traditional belief that I want say “ please try to read and understand what the
teaching of the Buddha in Buddhist scripture. The core of Buddhist practice and goal to
Nibbana.
Maggan’atthangiko settho –
saccanam caturo pada Virago settho dhammanam – dipadananca cakkhuna. Of all paths the Eightfold Path is the best;
of all truths the Four Noble Truths are the best; of all things passionless is
the best; of all menthe Seeing One is the best.- ( Dhp-Verse -273)
