How All parami grouped in Two Factor
As with all parami can be grouped in
four Adhitthàna, all parami can also be grouped
the two factors namely, compassion (karuna) and wisdom
(Panna). True, only the virtues of such funds, and others who
built on compassion and wisdom which is
prerequisite for the attainment of enlightenment and produce
attainment of Omniscience.
(This is a summary of parami)
What has been described in this chapter are:
How thirty parami grouped into ten;
how Ten parami summarized into six: Dana, Sila,
Khanti, viriya, Jhana, and wisdom, then how six
Parami is summarized into four Adhitthàna; and finally
how all this parami summarized in two factors:
compassion and wisdom
What Are Factors to Fulfill parami?
To the question, "What Are factors to fulfill
Parami? "The answer is:
(1) The development of four types of bhavana,
(2) Reflection on what is contrary to parami and
conquered it, and
(3) Delivery of a total of Buddha.
In short, the tools to meet parami is (a) extinction
love of self and (b) develop a love
against other creatures.
The explanation:
(1) Four good tool to meet parami is
development and recollection of all the prerequisites such as
Parami, CagA, cariya without neglecting any of them, with the single
aim only to reach Buddhahood (Sabbasambhàra-
Bhavana); with great respect and appreciation
(Sakkacca-bhavana); uninterruptedly in every life
(Nirantara-bhavana); for a very long time
without the slightest slack before he became Buddha
(Cirakàla-bhavana).
(2) Bodhisatta must remove his personal property in advance
even before the search of funds appears at his door with
determination, "I will give money without hesitation,
also treasure my life I had my fortune told
anyone who comes asking, I will utilize
what is left after I gave it. "
In this way, he had decided previously to
let go of whatever he had. However, there are four factors
that blocking the actions of these funds (dana vinibandha):
(A) In the past not used in terms of giving,
(B) Does not have enough property,
(C) owned treasures too good to didanakan,
(D) Fearing his property will be reduced.
(A) When Bodhisatta have things for granted and
search funding has come, but do not mind Bodhisatta
tend to give, he realized, "Of
I'm not used to in terms of giving in the past;
thus giving no desire to appear at this time
although the situation is very supportive, "therefore
He pondered,
"Although the desire for giving does not appear in
myself, I will provide funds so that I will be
used in giving and rejoice in it. Since then
This, I will give generously. Did I not
determined to give all mine to those who
need it? "
After pondering this, he gave it to
carefree, happily. By providing this funding
Bodhisatta eliminate the first obstacle which is "During
past are not used in terms of generosity. "
(B) When it does not have sufficient property, Bodhisatta
ponder,
"Because I did not make money in the past, I
suffer from a lack of property. I have to do fund
from whatever I have, no matter whether my property
little or no good, even if this will make my life
becomes more difficult. With this gift, in the future I
will reach Generosity perfection. "
After pondering this, he gives without
burden, with joy, with anything he can
funded. By providing this funding to eliminate Bodhisatta
The second obstacle is "not have sufficient property."
(C) When was reluctant to give because of good quality
of possessions, Bodhisatta ponder,
"O good man, did you aspire to become a
noblest, most honorable, to achieve enlightenment?
To be the noblest, the honorable, enlightened
Perfect, you must provide the noblest of funds, which
respectable. "
After pondering this, he gives the object-
objects with the best quality and most beautiful with no
load, happily. By providing this funding Bodhisatta
eliminate the third hurdle is "possessed treasures
too good to funded. "
(D) When Bodhisatta felt that his property will
reduced if his property is given, he pondered,
"The loss and damage is the nature of the property. Because
I did not do good works funding in the past,
so I never felt the lack of things to
funded, so I now have a shortage of property
for funded. I will give the fund any objects that
I have, no matter much or little. With this funding, the
the future I will reach Generosity perfection . "
After pondering this, Bodhisatta give what objects
She was a have a carefree and happily.
By providing this funding to eliminate obstacles Bodhisatta
The fourth is, "Fearing his property will be reduced."
Eliminate barriers to giving way reflect
the right way is the right tool in meeting
Perfection of Generosity. The same way applies to
perfection such as Sila, and others.
(3) In addition, Bodhisatta give herself to
Buddha said, "I dedicate
my body to the Buddha (imàham attabhàvam Buddhànam
niyyàdemi). "Surrendering is committed to
Buddha is a good tool in fulfilling all
Parami.
True, Bodhisatta who has submitted himself to the Buddha
pondered, "I have given this body to the Buddha,
whatever happened would happen, "when he experienced
problems that can harm the body and her life difficult
resolved, or when he suffered severe injuries caused
by any other creature that could kill him, in his attempt
parami meet during different life. With
reflect thus, he will not be deterred in
face problems that can even threaten his life and
determined to collect merit to meet
Parami.
Thus, the submission made to the Buddha
is a good tool in fulfilling all parami.
To reiterate briefly, the tools to meet parami
are: (a) the extinction of the love of self and (b)
develop a love for other creatures.
The explanation is:
By understanding the true truth of all phenomena.
Bodhisatta who aspires to attain Buddhahood remain
tainted by craving, conceit, and wrong view
be yourself. By observing his own body as a group
natural phenomena, cults, and self-respect
will decrease and more go out day after day.
With the continuous development of compassion that will
large, he considers all beings as his children
alone; her love and compassion to those grown
and growing.
Therefore, Bodhisatta who had removed avarice, and
others which is the opposite of parami after freed for
while from greed, hatred, and ignorance regarding
with ourselves and other beings, helping the creatures
with four supporting objects (Samgahavatthu), namely: giving
(dana), friendly and courteous in speech (piyavàca), deeds
useful (atthacariya), and equal stance (samànattata)
that always accompany the four adhitthàna; then he
help them with the three vehicles to advance
those who have started to gain maturity.
True, Compassion and Wisdom Bodhisatta accompanied by
acts of generosity. One of the four objects supporters. (Compassion and
Wisdom will not be realized without funding;
both are manifested simultaneously in the act of generosity
performed). Provide funds accompanied by the utterance
friendly and polite, because Bodhisatta never angry or
shouted when doing fund to those who
come to accept the fund, yet speak with words
that polite, soft. Speaking friendly and courteous accompanied by
actions that beneficial, because Bodhisatta did not say
words that are friendly and polite just to please but
with a sincere intention to serve other beings.
(Meet the prerequisites for achieving Perfect Enlightenment,
namely, parami, CagA, cariya, means to act for the sake of
welfare of other beings and thus are
deed useful as one of four supporters object).
Acts that benefit is accompanied by an equal manner, because
to meet the prerequisites for achieving Perfect Enlightenment,
Bodhisatta treat all beings with equal
in all conditions, happy or miserable.
When he became Buddha, the function is tame and
teaching is filled with benefits to all
creature with four supporters of the same object that has been
He developed with a perfect through four Adhitthàna.
Further explanation:
For Buddhists, the act of enhanced funding through Càgàdhitthàna,
friendliness in talking through Saccàdhitthàna, action
beneficial through Pannàdhitthàna, and equal treatment
through Upasamàdhitthàna.
In connection with Adhitthàna and four supporting objects,
Comments of Cariyà Pitaka mentions four stanzas in praise
properties of the Buddha:
(I) Sacco Caga upasanto
pannavà anukampako
sambhatasabbasambhàro

Saccàdhitthàna, who has perfected Càgàdhitthàna, which
