very valuable. Although the Qing Dynasty, the early Republic such language, the translation of classical Chinese, which means the depth of the vernacular than it is now, in my opinion, after decades of turning out a look, or he's good! This is about two cultural exchange, cultural exchange translation work really well, first of all I hope that young students special attention to the need to do a good job on both sides of the text. Side of the text links, while the text is not good, this translation is always a problem, much worse than the ancient translation!

Therefore, this section we talked about Mr. document under the Housing Finance \But later because of suspected Liang, etc., that Buddhism has never been translated so well, that style, this literature is so beautiful! - Fake! That they do not know Sanskrit Housing Finance, how would translate so well? In recent years, many scholars from the textual context,south indian cooking, all aspects of the article refuting many of Liang, the middle is Mr. Luo Xianglin the most powerful of this article, that the very words spoken Liang problem. However, Mr Lo in the end is a very deep scholar, more polite speech; if asked young people to write articles, be sure to Liang Ma Si up! But this article did not know of you have seen no. If you do not see that we get the next time or try to, you get to look.


I think on this through the translation into Chinese the same to pass it with a simple passed. We now study the report to you that there are two options, I still consider a long time. The previous paragraph would have wanted, with Buddhist practice, so each of the scriptures, first, about the time when Shakyamuni Buddha; and secondly, about location; Third, participation was about equal to our meeting records, which, of course not the same as they are now signed his name, at least documented. This is a translation of a Buddhist practice, time, place, people involved, so now we call it a Buddhist. In fact the Buddha was alive at that time between teachers and students, recorded the dialogue between master and apprentice discussion; ask questions asked him, the Buddha's answer; Buddha answers were recorded by the spread, that is called the Classic - Buddhist .


particular, China translation, no matter what kind of Buddhist scriptures in front of all added words: \We are used to literature, a look at the words, you know what is Buddhist. This is what we call literary history Buddhist Literature. This is the flip of grammar, reversed the grammar, the each of the Scripture there. Because of this record, the record Buddhist scriptures, it is to be successful after the Buddha passed away, the Buddha's disciples focused meeting, there was several times (in Chinese Buddhist history of Buddhism in India, the history of recorded information on most all equipment), so there are three times clustering. \Therefore, the first cluster of the Buddha passed away, immediately meeting the. Disciple of the famous 500, 500 Rohan, accomplished the Buddha's disciples assembled. Because the Buddha passed away, we should talk about his normal teaching methods are focused on it, record them.


then the inside it, along with the most years of the Buddha, the most pro-relationship is Ananda. Ananda was Buddha's cousin (Tang Fang Brothers), has with him a monk. The Buddha's disciples inside him \In China it, inside this type of people the Chinese are born with such a mind, that is two words, we often look at history, reading biographies saw: \Such people! So reading Well, Yimushixing, eyes down to fast read, one that we looked at half a day, he next, a look done, but remember here, can be got back. Then so to read more memories exceptionally strong.


then Ananda this person in terms of Chinese culture, is encyclopedic knowledge of his genius. Buddhism in China, recorded it, the Buddha's disciple Ananda is covering \The so-called \So was the first time assembled, make the Buddha's death, then recorded into a Buddhist. This time, the President is the Buddha's leading disciples Mahākāśyapa. Well, we have Buddhist, Chinese, the \Is that we now speak Poyin Zi, a little sound slightly different, that is, Mahākāśyapa (xié), not read into big Jiaye (yè). It is he, Madam, he is well-disciples of Buddha called.


But Mahākāśyapa Ocean proper way so that 500 - the so-called self-cultivation of effort, insight, one becomes a Buddhist is two things: One is the effort, concentration; one insight, learning ideas insight and wisdom. Insight is the achievement of wisdom, effort is cultivate the achievements of the achievements of self-cultivation, neither of which can not. Lohan then 500 of these people insight, effort has, but there is a no - where the Buddha said so can not remember. We remember one thing, we must find an encyclopedic knowledge of the person, then look for Ananda to. Ananda himself this time, because learning well, cultivating the difficult. Therefore, based on Buddhist terms, the higher the knowledge, the more trouble. Encyclopedic knowledge in the world law is a good thing, speaking in monasticism is a big obstacle! Learning better sermon harder. There learning, but also sermons that hard won! Very, very rare!

Well, good learning, and for studies of the Tao is the cause impaired Road, called the \The reason why we can not become Road, for two reasons: one is oneself of anxiety, heart thinking, distracting thoughts, emotions too much confusion, not sermons; One is the knowledge barrier, learning better, more knowledge is more difficult for Cheng Road . The Ananda itself barriers [broken record] ... ... we know the feeling.


\That is, later sent back by Sakyamuni Buddha, his disciples said. In this story we learned later, I also usually have a joke; not a joke, is a great feeling: most first, and others, learning the best people, not people in a proper way to write the article, is the only one by: Sakyamuni Buddha. Learning so good, way high, life did not have written an article, all the classic records of all his disciples, \Another person is not bad, was also good to see him, nor written a word. Poor that we Confucius, we master the eternal, the real is our teacher, is he himself wrote the article, you see he has not written a book of these disciples, disciples have come to rely on the teacher is offering. Sakyamuni Buddha is holding out by his disciples, disciples of the articles are good. However, comparison among almost is I, do not talk while writing, while also wrote a 5000 statement. (Laughter) So, the first group of people do not write the article, almost desperate people to write articles. Therefore, Confucius's life is not the Buddha good article to write on their own, and his disciples also known for holding out by the teacher. Confucius wrote Zi, ah, Yan Hui, ah, later learned; Yan Hui, Zi has not written a word ah! Is he holding out by the teacher. Sakyamuni Buddha is not the case, and a word without hands, is written by his disciples. So we of you to read and write, write articles and even people, get a few good disciples, so write your own. This point is worthy of imitation, is the Buddha.


Now, we report to you that the \You can say, \

second, about time, \All the scriptures are the word. Then we study later, of course, in the past, in India, our nation for thousands of years with the Indian nation is the fraternal relationship, very cordial. But we most regret, India, the nation, our friend, the friend, close friends, it has two things in the past, first, do not pay attention to their own history. Their country's past history is not a demerit, unlike China. Inside the Chinese nation in the world, from ancient history since the most attention. Chou has also been attention to history in particular. Then serious, to our eternal teacher, all of us great teacher Confucius shared the \So I often say to young students, to the general study of Western Cultural History of China History of Chinese Philosophy, or friends who said that the history of Chinese philosophy, History of Chinese Culture is very difficult to study, why the reason? Chinese historians in the past, not now Yo! Not the 19 century, 17 century, what are the experts, the experts called Dr. Dr. code experts. The past is not Oh! The last true generalists, so our past, a historian are philosophers, they are the writers, are also big politicians. Therefore, regardless of Literature and Philosophy - Literature with Philosophy, regardless of their home; History regardless - good literature, history certainly very clear; Man government is not divided, though not in politics, have a great lofty political ideals.


Therefore, to study Chinese philosophy, one from a philosophical look at philosophy, it can be said that both sides do not touch! That the philosophers is the philosophy, the philosophers no other philosophy - all wrong! Chinese history is full of philosophy, but also inside look at the philosophy of Chinese literature. Masterpieces of Literature: Science (Han is the text), Tang, Song, Yuan Dynasty,zero skateboards, Ming Dynasty novel, Qing pairs (couplets). The number inside the philosophy, especially philosophy of life are implicitly included. So, if you do not understand the old Chinese literature, do not know history, there is no way to talk about philosophy, there is no way to talk about the whole culture. In other words, speaking of culture, have to pass history. We do not believe in high school, university to study a little history on the inside know history, that no shadow!


Chinese history, Confucius say, after following the Sima Qian, writing a \Sima Qian wrote \He really concentrated in the Records of Chinese culture inside of the \So there are eight major articles. For example, \For example, \The so-called \\Do not understand Chinese history.


from the Sima Qian's \The assumption that we read a \Called a culture, not the National Palace Museum that several paintings, came to power more than two songs to sing dance, oh! Is included so many.


So we talked about history and culture, to Sima Qian's \We are now inside that culture is a serious problem. So why do I say such a thing? Hope that our young students are here (we last legs, count variable to go to see you around! Goodbye to remove it!) You have to, know where the root of culture. Reading history, from Sima Qian's \Song Yuan, Ming is not to say I know all that, so I know Chinese history - you do not have a shadow! This should be noted.


particular about the history of Chinese culture can not be separated. Why talk about it then? We in India for thousands of years we have diplomatic relations with very close, as close as brothers, especially the brother of the national culture in this country sorry! Itself does not pay attention to history. So now from the seventeenth century, the British established the East India Company, in other words, the West invaded India, cheated China, the later history of the West Indian professionals focus on the establishment, by Westerners. However, research to establish the so-called West Indian history is now speaking, in my opinion, most still unreliable. As to remain on the Buddhist \European and American scholars, Japanese scholars intentional, deliberate non-use, put it aside. Not really nothing to do with Chinese culture; for Indian culture, Indian history is lost.


example we cited a book, Master Xuan Zang of Tang Dynasty in India studying two decades, he traveled throughout the five Indian (the so-called five Indian: South Indian, North Indian, East Indian, West Indian, Chinese India, speech writing are different), he traveled to many countries and customs of each country every allusion he write down, write down back out of a book (of course, the emperor gave up), Emperor Taizong issued in the country's , called the \Master Xuan Zang then combined his two decade study in this difficult path through which, now the Japanese to make a film, called this band called the Silk Road in Xinjiang, the Silk Road is good to go Oh! Master Xuan Zang was not so good one to go the Silk Road Oh! Very hard to go through the big Gobi Desert, through the South and North, from North India in the past, is very painful Oh! Near escape. To the time he is not alone Oh! There are five or six people are dead in the road. So he's been telling their own school, so we have been ordinary about Journey to the West's, a man named \\Is not a novel \It was written by the Ming Dynasty novel, by Master Xuan Zang to India to learn from other story made up of a novel, it is another matter.


so some information like this, not only these two, I say obvious. Western India in the seventeenth century of history, do not use it now or so. So I told my friends in India, really need to study their own history, I am sorry for him! Most of the good data is retained in the Chinese language \Buddhism in the Indian real to us after the Song Dynasty have been no Arab Muslim invasion of India after one has been broken, no. After the Song dynasty, Buddhism retained to preserve Indian culture, that we here \But now the world's epidemic of academic trends, our \The cultural attitudes in the world inside is a big problem! I can only stop here, you young students to study themselves.


now turn speaking, Indian friends, first, the concept is the lack of ancient history, not control; also can be said that mind is expanding, does not matter, thing of the past is over the future not to , empty Well, why just let it go! This is the first. Second, the Indian culture of the past, the number of so-so. For digital
