Đọc được trên facebook của Ayya Yeshe, Sư cô viết: “….Peaceful sitting Meditation in the midst of The Christmas rush, just to show that another way is possible…”( Ngồi Thiền an tịnh trên đường phố, giữa mùa giáng sinh với nhiều hối hả, vội vàng là một cách để cho biết rằng vẫn có thể làm được…) Tôi thật sự cảm kích cái nhìn của một người tu sĩ, và là một Sư Cô người Úc, tu theo truyền thống Phật Giáo Mật Tông Tây Tạng, được biết Ayya Yeshe đã từng thực hiện những thời tu tập trên đường phố bận rộn tại New-York City và một vài nơi khác trên thế giới.

Thưa, tôi không nghĩ là mình có thể ngồi Thiền một cách an nhiên được giữa trung tâm thành phố Sydney, và giữa mùa giáng sinh thật sự bận rộn như hôm nay,(21.12.2018) tại 2 địa điểm, 1./ là đường hầm của Trạm xe lửa Central, và 2 là tại Pitt Street Mall -Sydney, nơi đây hàng ngàn người tấp nập lại qua, tiếng hòa nhạc với kèn trống vang rền, người người nói cười náo nhiệt, không khí Giáng Sinh tại Sydney thật sự tưng bừng đúng nghĩa của nó…và tôi chỉ việc theo Ayya Yeshe, ngồi xuống, xếp bằng, và nhắm mắt lại …ngồi thiền…

Mỗi thời khoảng 40 phút trôi qua thật nhanh và êm đềm một cách lạ kỳ, Thiên Ân hôm nay có được ngày nghĩ,đã đi cùng để chụp ảnh và làm Video Clip, nhờ vậy, tôi mới có dịp xem và biết được những gì đã diễn ra thật đẹp của thời tu thiền trên đường phố hôm nay. Xin chia sẻ cùng quý vị và các bạn một số hình ảnh và một video clip ngắn để tin rằng Ayya Yeshe nói đúng: “….Peaceful siting Meditation in the midst of The Christmas rust, just to show that another way is possible…”

Generation of the Bodhi Mind is a critical method of Buddhist cultivation that, if not superior is as equally important as any other methods mentioned in Tipiṭaka. In the Great Skillful Means Sutra, the Buddha instructs Anan: “Generation of the Bodhi Mind is a superior method that helps the cultivator shorten their path to awakening.” In the Adornment Sutra, the Buddha kindly reminds that “Even the cultivators who simply forget to generate the Bodhi Mind are actually doing all the evil deeds for whatever they are doing”, let alone one who has never made any vow or practised cultivating the mind.

Life as historically manifested is twofold, individuals and communities as well. The teachings of the Buddha are meant as much for the building of an order of communities as for the harmonious ordering of an individual’s personal life. In addition, Buddhism is concerned with the cessation of suffering, it must necessarily teach the way to the cessation of social suffering no less than the suffering of each individual. It is precisely to mention of forgiveness and reconciliation.

The Buddha’s ethical teachings, these essential points of the eightfold path aim at promoting as well as perfecting the three heads of Buddhist training and discipline, namely (a) Ethical Conduct (b) Mental Discipline and (c) Wisdom. According to the capacity of each individual harmoniously cultivated, these points are all linked together and each helps the cultivation of the others.

Buddhism was introduced to the U.S.A. by the Asian immigrants in the 19th century. There is no reliable data on the number of Buddhists in the United States but today it is estimated to be a few millions. 1.25% of the total U.S. population is identified as Buddhist followers. Prof.Dana Eck of the Harvard University talks about the presence of three types of Buddhists such as , Buddhists, Nightstand Buddhists and Strongly influenced Buddhists and they amount to be around thirty millions. Thus Buddhism of all traditions becomes the third largest religion in the U.S., just behind Christianity and Judaism. In 2006, there was a census showing 6-8 million Buddhists in the USA. Since then, there hasn't been another serious census taken. It is, therefore, very difficult to count the immigrant-group figures but, without any doubt, the immigrant-

In the early 2000s, I taught Western philosophy to Tibetan monks at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala, India. These monks were excited to explore new insights into questions they were already pursuing in Buddhist philosophy, and new questions they had never considered. I was recently reminded of my students in Dharamsala when a Buddhist friend asked why studying Western philosophy might be of any benefit to a contemporary practitioner.

Truc Lam Foubder, Two Stages of Life , by Most Venerable Thich Thanh Tu, Here are the wild sunflowers Only grow along the forests Ensconce aside the highways Be the hedge to against ill-doers Late Autumn, come the buds Open bright in yellow In spite of people’s disdain They exert to adorn the homeland In joy, they’re picked by the herdsmen In need, they’re the rats’ hideout They’re the protector of all beings.

Nguyện đem công đức này, trang nghiêm Phật Tịnh Độ, trên đền bốn ơn nặng, dưới cứu khổ ba đường,
nếu có người thấy nghe, đều phát lòng Bồ Đề, hết một báo thân này, sinh qua cõi Cực Lạc.

May the Merit and virtue,accrued from this work, adorn the Buddhas pureland,
Repay the four great kindnesses above, andrelieve the suffering of those on the three paths below,
may those who see or hear of these efforts generates Bodhi Mind, spend their lives devoted to the Buddha Dharma,
the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
