Buddhist monk: Maidan - the decisive moment of global awakening

The last months of the Maidan was the epicenter of extreme crisis for Ukraine. Simultaneously taking place on Independence sobіtiya determine the future of the world.

It would seem that three months ago, it all started suddenly, but in fact the crisis in Ukraine and the battle on Independence resemble the decisive event in the life of Buddha. Then the bodhisattva, all age paramita-perfection, settled under the Bodhi tree, and at a time when he was at the last stage before reaching a high of enlightenment - anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi (Skt.), The strongest Mara attacked. And Bodhisattvas defeated him. Mara is not, and does not attack the Bodhisattva to this last point. And at a time when the Bodhisattva attains perfection by implementing all the paramita - at this time there is a strong Mara.

In the last century the late Dharma the same thing happens. The moment it is unknown whether the defeat or victory - then requires a deep practice of Bodhisattvas. Perhaps you have seen the image of the Buddha seated under the Bodhi tree. At this point, before attaining enlightenment, the strongest army of Mara attacks him. However, the Bodhisattva remains unruffled and internally inflexible. Without a fight, he wins all the forces of Mara. A boom issued his army in Bodhisattva, turn into flowers. Neither attack Mary can not bring harm to the Bodhisattva.

As this victory over a strong king-Mara becomes possible? In fact, the Buddha became the Buddha countless hundreds, thousands, billions of years ago, and therefore can not be hurt Bodhisattva because of the infinitely distant past already have Buddha Buddha and Mara have long been captivated by them. Therefore, whatever greater force did not show Mara, he can not win the Bodhisattva.

Leave a high level of discussion on this topic and get back to the Maidan - what is its value? Maidan - a decisive moment the most important global awakening process by which the whole world should go into the awakened state of total wisdom. This is a crucial, critical hour. It seems that the vast Mara wants to destroy the world. And the battle with him was manifested on the Maidan.

Over the past three months Maidan turned into a place the way where the bodhisattva implemented numerous paramita, transported to the other side of living creatures and won Maru. Each Paramita-crossing was carried out here by hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians. Here are deeply realized giving Paramita, the paramita of patience and diligence and perseverance Paramita - a firm commitment in the hearts of the people will never give up. No provocation difficulties, hunger, cold, fatigue did not stop people and not break them.

We know of other uprisings and revolutions in various countries and capitals of the world. Many of them were accompanied by aggression, looting, smashed shop windows and looting. In Kiev for three months did not happen anything like this.

Instead, hundreds of thousands of people come here to make offerings and to support the defenders of the Maidan, people came even during the deadly struggle with a cruel, armed police and army. Mainly, the decisive test for all test was fear. But people overcome fear. Why? Because they were willing to sacrifice even their own bodies and lives. This is the ultimate, ultimate, ultimate-Paramita crossing bodhisattva. And it all happened, happened here.



And then the army fell. Army of Mary fell, defeated courage and self-sacrifice - this completely Paramita-crossing bodhisattvas.

There is a deeper reason why the Ukrainian people were able to carry out this practice. She - a deep spiritual roots of Ukrainians reaching times immortal heroism of the Scythians. Ancient Scythian spiritual heroism all joined in the Maidan. All as one, with all your heart, do not regret their own bodies and lives:

"When all is a wish to see the Buddha,

And for the sake of not spare their own bodies and lives,

Then I'll go along with the Sangha ...

And I will say to all living beings,

Forever am here ... »

And then the world that burns in a big fire, full of cruelty and fear, becomes eternal Pure Land, which will never be destroyed.

This is the real practice of the Lotus Sutra. Independence was such a place the way where is defined the future of mankind, where, thanks to this Paramo bodhisattvas vanquished army of Mara.

This deep spiritual power is the power of the Lotus Sutra. People see the end of the world, a great fire, murder, danger, pain and suffering. But at the same time, this Pure Land, no one can destroy. This is the true reality. He who keeps the Lotus Sutra, he keeps this pure land. He who keeps the Lotus Sutra, he saves space miraculous divine powers. And although it seems that the world is burning, it is crowded death, suffering, cruelty, in fact it is not. Turn this land into the net to make it indestructible, show it to the world - that's what the miraculous power of the Lotus Sutra care.

According to the Treaty of Nichiren (a Buddhist monk from Japan, 13 in.) "Ron Riso Ankoko Island" - "On establishment of justice and peace in the country", the biggest threat facing the state, it is a section of civil conflict, and, in the end, the invasion from the outside and the destruction of the nation. Today, Ukraine has faced such a threat in this section, internal wars and external invasions. The strength of the bodhisattva of the Lotus Sutra is that it can overcome this crisis, to realize unity in thought and show the Pure Land.

From the deep past, forever, the Buddha is here. Eternal Buddha here with us, those who keep the Lotus Sutra. Eternal Buddha is always here, and the world will not burn because it is - the eternal pure land. This decisive battle, but Mara can not do anything. Mara wants to destroy everything - to divide the country, civil war. Russia wants Ukraine to subdue, seize it, to deprive independence. But nothing happens, although this ordeal.

Home bodhisattva practice of the Lotus Sutra - a win this whole army of Mara. All arrows Mary turn into flowers. This is happening in Ukraine in reality. Ukraine will never be divided. In Ukraine will never be a civil war. Russia will not be able to conquer or divide Ukraine. It protects the power of the Lotus Sutra. Independence won, thus preparing the place for the Way of the practice. After this practice Stupa in Ukraine appears by itself.
