How to Fulfill the Sila parami?
If you want to help other beings in the material, one
should first seek to have the property.
Similarly, if you want to make other creatures have
morality, Bodhisatta have to start from purify morality
yourself.
Morality sanctified in the four following ways:
(I) With cleanse a person's predisposition (Ajjhàsaya
visuddhi);
(Ii) By adhering to the precepts by which supervised by others
(Samàdana);
(Iii) With no offense (avatikkamana); and
(Iv) By making the redemption in case of infringement
(Patipàkatika karana);
(I) A person who purified the trend will be
naturally feel contempt for the crime, he would be very
pure in the precepts by growing in him a sense of
shame (Hiri)
(Ii) Similarly, a person who has received the precepts from the
Another pondered, "I have received the precepts of the teacher and
it ", and with respect for the teacher, he will be

fear (ottappa).
(Iii) Because it has a sense of shame and fear of crime,
unlikely event of a breach. Because it does not happen
violations, someone can be a sacred morality.

violation, a monk must undergo redemption
parivasa and meet redemption manatta; a race
layman or sàmanera must reload the precepts and obey
precepts to be correct).
Sila Not Doing (Varitta Sila) and Sila Must
(Càritta Sila)
Morality has been hallowed in four ways that have
described above consists of two types, namely, Varitta Sila and Càritta
Sila.
(I) Not doing what is not recommended by the Buddha and
other noble people who say "This is wrong; this
should not be done; this should be avoided ", with
thereby avoiding the ten evil deeds such as
killed, and others, this is called Varitta Sila.
(Ii) respecting the people to be respected as a teacher,
parents, or good friends and serve them with
both called Càritta Sila.

words and deeds, controlling the senses, purify
livelihood, and the use of four demand; he comply
rules of morality with respect and caution, like a foe
disguised as a friend.
(That way he underwent Varitta Sila).
How Bodhisatta Undergo Càritta Precepts
The Bodhisatta always warmly welcome the arrival of
good friends, greeted them with courtesy and respect, served
their hands and serve them; He visited the
pain relief and donate them to serve. He
expressed appreciation after listening to the sermon
Dhamma; He gave credit for the virtues do
by men virtuous; Her patience in the face of the act
evil of others and constantly remember the virtues
others do to him; He rejoices over virtue
other people do and collect his virtue
with the aim only to achieve enlightenment;
He never stands still and ignore the practice of Dhamma
noble; if at any point he made a mistake,
He admitted in front of friends Dhammanya
(Without trying to hide it). He is more and more
developed the practice of Dhamma, rose even higher in
stages of attainment.
Similarly, He is skilled and diligent in providing
assistance to other beings in a way that
His favorite and useful for other creatures; when
they are sick, and others, he will try as much as possible
provide relief to them. When misfortune
(Vyasana) befall them in connection with relatives,
wealth, health, morality, and faith, He gave
comfort and obliterate their grief; He berated
wisely they should be scolded, so that they
can get out of crime and entered in its favor; to
those who are worthy of support, he will give
support it deserves.
Knowing the noble practices of the Bodhisatta-Bodhisatta
past about how they gain maturity
in parami, CagA, cariya very hard to do, the strong
unimaginable, and certainly play a role in providing
happiness and welfare of many creatures, Bodhisatta not
be afraid or discouraged altogether.
He pondered, "All past Bodhisattas as well
just ordinary man like me; but thanks to continuous training
basis of morality, concentration, and wisdom they
eventually reach enlightenment. Just as the
Bodhisatta yore, I too will undergo full training
in morality, concentration, and wisdom. Thus,
after completing these three exercises, I will be able to achieve
the same result, Buddhahood. "
Thus, the effort was never accompanied by slack
conviction, he tried to complete the exercise of morality, and
others.
Bodhisatta not publicize his good deeds,
otherwise He admitted his mistakes without
hide it; He has little desire, easily
served, enjoy solitude, not crowded life;
He bear the burden of suffering, and not tied to this and
it, and not troubled: He is not arrogant or haughty, he
polite and not rude; He did not gossip; He is calm, and
free of the life that is not true as fraud.
He has the deeds and sayings that help in
meditation; He saw the danger in evil deeds
even the smallest and live and abide by the rules
exercise; not attached to the physical and life, he
directs his mind to the attainment of Buddhahood and
Nibbana and devoted his whole life without interruption
to do good; He is not attached to any
the physical and life, quite the opposite He
release it; He also dispels the factors that damage
such as hatred, envy, and others that can cause
the destruction of morality.
He is not complacent with just a small achievement but
strive for higher achievement. With such effort,
its achievements in jhana, and others do not
decreased or the same but grow and become more
higher and higher.
Bodhisatta help the blind to achieve its objectives or
pointed in the right path. He communicates
with the deaf in sign language. He provides a seat
wheel or a vehicle for the lame, or hold him in
back to wherever the lame to go.
He worked hard so that those who do not have confidence
can develop confidence, so the lazy can
develop the effort, who do not care and do not have
attention to develop the attention, the anxious and
anxious to develop concentration, and the ignorant can
develop policies; He worked hard so that they
affected by a variety of obstacles can be conquered
these obstacles and they are oppressed by wrong view
about the senses, hatred, and cruelty can obliterate
factors such oppressors.
To those who've helped him, he reveals
gratitude, greet them with words of friendly
and polite, provide assistance in response to the quality
the same or even higher than he received, when
they were crushed by misfortune, he ministered to them as
a good friend.
Recognizing the different character of various creatures,
He helps them to live free from crime and
in virtue; He helps them get what
they want. (What that means is,
He became their friend to free them from
crime and bring them to virtue by
giving (funds) to those who expect it, with
words that are friendly and sweet (Piya Vaca) to those who
want the words friendly and sweet, by showing
useful life (atthaCariyà) to those who appreciate
useful life, and by treating the same and
equals (samànattatà) to those who wish to be treated
like themselves.
Even with the desire to serve their desires,
Bodhisatta not harm other creatures or fight with
other creatures, not insult them or make them
sorry; do not look down on them and looking
their mistakes; he did not consider himself or the high
arrogant and insulting in dealing with those who
swagger to him, but on the contrary, he does
will be humble.
He did not distance themselves from others, but he
away from excessive social relationships at the time
improper. He was only accompanied by their proper
become his friend at the time and place; He did not
tell the ugliness of others in front of friends that person
or praise those who do not deserve praise. He did not make friends
familiar with those who are unfit for company.
He did not refuse the invitation is done properly,
but he will not demand excessively at will
heart; He also did not receive more than he
need; He gives joy and encouragement to
those who believe by giving sermons on
services from those who have faith. Similarly,
He gives joy and encouragement to those
with morality, the spirit of learning, generosity, and
discretion by giving a sermon on the quality of services
them.
When Bodhisatta within one lives reached jhana
and Abhinnà, with this power he inspires
fear in those who are lazy (in doing good);
show them how scary realms
miserable, He makes those who do not have confidence
and virtue to have faith and virtue and
allows them to be born in the era of emergence
Buddha. To those who already have beliefs and
so on, he helps them to ripen goodness
these virtues.
In this way, Càritta Sila Bodhisatta -like "flood"
of virtues grow into larger and larger
more from one life to the next.
(That is the way to meet Morality Perfection )
