When the World-Honored One was still alive, his teachings were very practical, teaching each race that he told them to speak their language. Someone asked to record his teaching in Sanskrit, he refused not because the word described it beautifully and concisely, but perhaps he wanted to keep it widely available to the masses. As for questions of sublime matters, the Buddha remained silent, factors that led to a later transcendental Buddhist philosophy.
We know that, in the primitive age, people were afraid of the great and mysterious things in nature, people had to use myths to explain those phenomena, first people believed that there was only one god. god, that was the period of monotheism, gradually people believed in a few other gods such as god of rain, god of wind, god of mountains, god of rivers, that was the period of polytheism, gradually everything people also believed to be there were gods, it was the period of pantheism.
In a region of long rivers, majestic mountains that made early India had beliefs, according to the Vedas (about 1800 BC) , which are hymns, created by many contributors under the anonymous form, praising the gods, an ancient form of spiritual life of the Indians, like other ethnic groups, as Phan Van Hum wrote: "From ancient times to the present, the thought of mankind, when discovered, is to find a way to explain the phenomena around us first, and then finally take another step to investigate the reality (le réel). Only when the relationship between phenomena and reality can be shown will be satisfied. Explain the meaning, can you? People still think about that place all the time, so in philosophy there is one more important issue, the problem of perception and the limit of perception. Philosophy just hangs around a few problems on it, but never knows when it will be finished.
Until thought has evolved, man has a big question: - What is the basis of the universe? At that time India had Jainism, the Six Pagans, and the Six Philosophers - as well as later Western philosophers - who considered the essence of the universe to be water, some said earth, and some. believed to be fire ... while Brahminism changed to Hinduism, from the Vedas to the Upanisad (Upanisad: Composed between 750 and 550 BC) , claiming that it was the Great Self ( Upanisad: Composed between 750 and 550 BC) . Brahman) : All things are born of the Great Self. When he is standing, man is the Self (Atman) with the Great Self hidden in it, and when he dies, he returns to the Great Self.
Almost to answer this question, when the Buddha was faced with the question of the Self-nature of the wandering ascetic Vacchagotta:
- Dear Gotama, is there no self-nature?
The Buddha sat quietly, saw no answer Vacchagotta asked again:
- Why? Dear Gotama, is there a self-nature?
Buddha also sat quietly.
That silence, the Buddha explained, while he was resting under the Simsapà tree, near the city of Kosambi, he reached out and grabbed a handful of leaves, held it in his hand and asked:
- Monks, which one is more, hold Simsapà leaves in my hand, or the leaves on those trees?
"World-Honored One, there are only a few leaves in the Blessed One's hand, but there are many leaves on that tree.
"In the same way, bhikkhus, there are many things I have discovered, far more than I have explained. There are only a few things I have disclosed, and why have I not stated the others? Because they are of no benefit, do not serve the holy life, do not lead to disenchantment,
dispassion , peace, victory, enlightenment, and nirvana (Sayutta Nikāya V, Chapter 12 Simsapā Forest)
Is it because of That silence of the Buddha, but about 100 years after his death, metaphysical questions, not beneficial for cultivation, but many people have argued with commentaries, contributing to the development of Buddhist philosophy. rich and diverse teaching.
We know that after the Buddha's death about 100 years, 700 bhikkhus met at Vesali.To rule on 10 acts advocated by a group of Bhikkhus, Viji , because the judgment of the 10 representatives of the 10 Elders did not satisfy the other monks, they found a place. Another meeting is also to set aside the Sutras, which is the division of the congregation into the Theravada and the Mahasanghikas.
Due to the policy of freedom, the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation to stay in the country of Uong Quat Da La (Angottara) , in the North of Vuong Xa citadel, while discussing the scriptures, had contrasting opinions, so it was divided into two factions, namely Nhat Thuyet, the main group. The "Three Worlds of Dharmas pretending to be impermanent"', the Out-of-the-world theory advocates "Truthful and true", while another group believes that the Sutra and Vinaya are the hypothetical means of the Buddha. Only the Abhidhamma can explain the true meaning,
Then, about 200 years after the Buddha's death, there was the Arhat Compassionate Y (Yàjnavalkya) , it is said that before the Buddha's death, he entered a hermitage in Tuyet Son, now appeared in the world, he said that the Venerable The Venerable and the Mahasanghikas only crudely studied the Buddha's teachings, so it was necessary to study the profound and wonderful meaning, he founded the Multi-Mandarin School.
Another group is the Hypocrite, they believe that the holy religion has many levels, because the World-Honored One is hypothesized, so there are enough truths and secular truths in the three organs. possess'' .
Finally, there was a group in the Andhra mountains, who advocated the offering of stupas to worship Buddha's relics (Caityas)., so the name is Che Da Son Bo. They discussed Dai Thien's five affairs, disagreeing, so they divided into a group residing in the West called Tay Son Tru, a group residing in the North called Bac Son Tru.
Although conservative, but because the Mass had divided more orders, the Theravada Buddhism was also affected and scattered into sub-orders.
First, about 200 years after the Buddha's death, the Theravadas split into the Nirvana Order or the Right Order, they maintain as the name of the series ''All things exist'', they say that ''Human beings are human. Not-self'' but ''Dharma has a self'' or ''Self is not, dharma is'', so it is also called the Theory of Humanity. Regarding the original universe Buddhism took the "Five Aggregates" to establish the world and divided the world into the "Three Realms", and to oppose the Thang Luan school, the Right Department divided all things into 5. 75 dharmas: Those five are: Formal Dharma (there are 11 dharmas) , dharma Mind (there are only 6 consciousnesses) , Mind possessing dharmas (with 46 dharmas) , Mind incompatible with practicing dharmas (having 14 dharmas) , and non-violating dharmas. (with 3) ,
After that, there was a group of descendants of Mr. Doc Tu, promoting the Abhidharma Abhidhamma Abhidhamma Abhidhamma Abhidhamma by Sāriputta, so this group was called Poisonous Tu. Although the Blessed One clearly taught:
''Whether the Buddhas appear or not, Bhikkhus, there is one fact, one definite principle, one natural law, which is all the constituent things. All are impermanent (Anicca), suffering (Dukkha) and all are soulless (Anattā). The Tathagata has realized and understood that. The Tathagata propagates, teaches, declares, defines, separates, and clearly instructs that all constituencies are impermanent, suffering, and not-self.
(Anguttara Nikaya)
But the Doctrine of the Dead holds that after a person's death, the five aggregates are no longer there, there must be something that transcends the five aggregates called the human body (Pudgala)., it is permanent to bear the cause and effect.
We know that the original essential doctrine taught by the Buddha was the first sermon in the Deer Park: It is the Four Truths, the Twelve Causes and Conditions, and after further developing the Five Aggregates, it is enough for the whole of life. and Buddhist cosmology.
In Trung A Hamlet, the Buddha taught:
''The Tathagata teaches only one thing, suffering and the cessation of all suffering''.
In Self Theory of Elementary sutra:
"Behold, O Bhikkhus, as well as the water of the oceans mighty only one taste is salty, teachings only one taste of liberation ''
So's possible that Single The death ministry advocates that, has departed from the teachings of the Blessed One.
In the Doctrine of the Dead, because of disagreements in a verse in the Abhidharma Law Aggregates, this self is divided into four sub-groups: Dharma Upper, Hierarchy, Chief Justice, and Secret Forest.
About 300 years after the Buddha's death, the Right Department further divided the Hoa and Earth Department, this is the name of a Brahmin who, after taking refuge in the Buddha's head, often brought the Vedas to explain the Buddha's words, his disciples later established his own set, so people used his name to name that series.
Tu Hoa Di, a group that believed in the division of the sutras into 5 organs of the Phap Tang (it is said to be a disciple of Mr. Muc Kien Lien) , they formed the Phap Tang group.
There is another series, the Moc Quang series, by the Huu people following the policy of Mr. Hum Quang (Buddhist disciple)., divided the Buddha's teachings into 2 parts, one to destroy the pagan religion and the other to deal with defilements.
The Right Order also gave rise to the Sutra of the Law, which advocates to restore the Theravada stance, taking the Sutra Pitaka as the root of practice.
The arising of the right makes the Theravada weak, retreating to hide in Tuyet Son (Himalayas) so it is also called Tuyet Son.
In a nutshell, about 100 to 300 years after the Buddha's death, Buddhism is divided into 2 main sets, namely Theravada and Mahasanghika, from these two sets divided into other groups, in general there are at least 20 sets. . The Most Venerable Theravada, a group of Northern Indians, was conservative, his ideology was inclined to "Be", later spread to Ceylon in the south of India, so it was called Theravada or Theravada Buddhism. scriptures in Pali. The Mahasanghikas, residing in Central India, advocated freedom and tolerance, and their ideas were inclined to "No", and later spread to China and Tibet in the north of India, so it was called Northern Buddhism. Tradition or Development Buddhism, has a policy of practice to reach Buddhahood, such as a large carriage that can carry many people, so it is also called Mahayana Buddhism, the scriptures use Sanskrit.
Around the 2nd century AD, after the period of Buddhism division and after the 4th Collection of Sutras, Mahayana thought was uncast by the Mahasanghikas, Bodhisattva Ma Minh officially brought the Mahasanghika group to the top. with the work of Mahayana Origin of Faith.
* Bodhisatta MY MINH:
According to legend, when he was born, the horses around the area neighed, so he was named Ma Minh (Asvaghosha) , son of a Brahmin in the Ganges region. Before he entered Buddhism, he believed and recognized the self. Because of that , the 11th Patriarch Phu Na Da Xa - a disciple of the Venerable Hiep (Pàrsva) , was consulted by King Ca Nhi Sac Ca (78-101) to organize the 4th Collection of Classics - asked Ma Minh:
''In the Buddha's dharma, it is necessary to distinguish between the manifest and the tantric teachings. According to the doctrine, people teach the way to good men and women, as if there is a self. And according to tantra, people do not recognize real life, they teach that everything is fake, fake. Then there is no place for the ego to rely on?''.
Thanks to that question, Mr. Ma Minh was satisfied with Buddhist teachings, took refuge in the three jewels, and received ordination. He is especially famous in Sanskrit poetry circles, and it is he who has brought Sanskrit Buddhist literature to the top, especially the epic poem ''Buddha So Hanh'', with his practice pen. In his wonderful writings, he praised and raised the image of the Buddha to superhuman status, which after 700 years of his death had faded away because of time.
Why is the work called Mahayana Origin of Faith, we know that during the Buddha's time, he taught his disciples to live the holy life, diligently meditating to attain Arahantship. Dai Thien gave five critiques of the Arhat status, now Ma Minh offers this work to explain the Tathagata Tripitaka - sentient beings - because of the ignorance that surrounds the Tathagata, breaking the dark shell of that Tathagata. Right where we are, the Tathagata manifests money, that is, becomes a Buddha. Ma Minh's treatise was highly appreciated by the latter, so he was honored as a Bodhisattva.
We already know that the Right Order has a tendency to "Yes" and the Mahasanghikas "No", so 700 years after the Buddha's death, around the 2nd century AD, Nagarjuna advocated between the two. In the Middle Way Treatise, he brought Buddhist philosophy back to its original quintessence.
Before Nagarjuna's time, the Mahayana Buddhist sutras had: Great Product Prajnaparamita, Minor Chapter Prajnaparamita, Wonderful Dharma Lotus Sutra, Flower Adornment Sutra, Great Immeasurable Life Sutra, Shurangama Samadhi Sutra, Duy Ma Kinh, those are the main sutras, in addition there are other sutras.
* Dragon Body (Nàgàrjuna) :
Or Dragon Tree is also known as Long Thang , he was born in the A Chau Da Na tree (Arjuna) , so his mother took the tree's name, named him, later it is said that he thanks to the Dragon species. (Nàgà) , went down to the Dragon Palace to copy the Flower Adornment Sutra and brought it to the world, so people called it Nàgàrjuna, put it together, and wrote it as Nàgàrjuna, the date of his birth has many different theories, roughly around the beginning of the 5th century. III, he is from the country of Bhikshu (Vidharbha) South Indian, of Brahmin lineage, naturally intelligent, in his youth he was well- versed in the Vedic scriptures, and a number of other studies. But the academic subjects did not make him satisfied, so he left the Buddha's head to find the truth, first he studied Buddhism in Theravada, then through studying the Mahasanghikas scriptures, at that time the sutras Mahayana was there, he studied it and understood it all, so he rearranged it into a generation of Mahayana Buddhist teachings.
He worked in many places, the King of Kieu Tat La, Satàvahana, admired his virtue, took refuge in Buddhism, and protected him by building a Great Vihara in the southwest of Hac Long Son Mountain (Bhràmaragiti).In order to have a worthy place for him as a basis for propagating the Dharma and becoming a missionary center, he wrote many valuable treatises to promote the Mahayana teachings, because of that merit. he is the Second Shakyamuni.
As mentioned, his writing career has many treatises such as: The Middle Way Commentary (Madhya-dhyâna-sàstra) , the Twelve Doors Commentary (Dvadasa-nikaya-sàstra) , Great Wisdom Doctrine - also known as Ma Ha Bat Nha Paramita Multi-Sutras Thich Luan - (Mahàprajnàpàramità-sàstra) , Ten Pillars of Bhikkhu Sa Luan (Dasabhùmi-vibhàsà-sàstra) ... about the Sutra of the Flower Adornment Sutra.
Madhyamika, his treatise The Second Gate and Bach Luan (Sata-sastra) his schism (Deva)These are the three basic treatises of the "Three Luan Tong" school, adding Dai Tri Do Luan to the four basic treatises of the "Four Luan Tong" school.
Because he composed many works, profound teachings, many sects later used them to promote, so the ancients considered him the ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Pure Land School, Tantric Buddhism, Hoa Nghiem Tong, Tam Tong. But the basic treatise is the Madhyamika, commonly known as the Middle Commentary, which clearly presents the idea of the "Middle Way" or the philosophy of emptiness.
In order to be able to understand in a general way about Trung Luan, Most Venerable Thich Thanh Kiem in A Brief History of Indian Buddhism summarized as follows:
''First of all, reasoning about the 'real dharmas'', Mr. Nagarjuna called the real dharmas 'signless voidness'. But NO this is not a NO in opposition to YES, nor is it the meaning of NOTHING but something that goes beyond YES and NO to place a substitute noun for the above meaning, 'Middle Way'. . The first book "Middle Commentary" says: "Non-born heron is immortal, abnormal heron is not interrupted, there is no change in heron, no return and no return." That is to say, the true nature of all dharmas, in the original form, has neither birth nor death, there is no permanence and no cessation, there is neither one nor the other, nor will there be any return. But because of the fixed conception of the world, there is birth, there is death, there is permanence, there is a break, there is one, there is another, there is going, there is back, there are eight conceptions of false appearances, To negate those notions, Nagarjuna said eight things which are "No birth, no death, no permanence, no cessation, no one, no difference, no return, no going"', to represent what is. realities of the dharmas, and also to explain the meaning of 'Middle Way'. So the meaning of "Middle Way" is not an intermediate meaning between YES and NO, but a meaning beyond the circle of relative difference, transcending the realm of YES, NO and even ''No and nothing''. , in the case of ''Language passage''.
Disciple of Nagarjuna is Recommended Ba (Deva), also known as Holy God (Aradeva) , born at the end of the third century, the South India, intelligent, eloquent should be Nagarjuna dispatched to the place to Destroying the evil of Mahayana Buddhism, it is said that after he was harmed by pagans, Mr. De Ba had the following works:
Bach Luan (Sata-sàstra) , Bach Tu Luan (Satàksara-sàstra) , Quang Bach Luan ( Sata-sàstra) sàstra-vaipulya) , these treatises all take the Middle Commentary as the basis, the purpose is also to "Breaking evil and showing righteous".
* Venerable Buddha:
As a disciple of Deba, the Central Indians are also intelligent, also eloquent, he has written commentaries on the Madhyamika, and worked to promote the Mahayana in Central India.
Particularly in Vietnamese scriptures, written about Trung Luan, there are: Philosophy of Emptiness by Tue Sy, Trung's Commentary by Thich Vien Ly, History of Thought and Philosophy of Emptiness of Thich Tam Thien ...
After the age of Nagarjuna, before During Asanga, Vasubandhu, about the fourth century, Mahayana Buddhism had sutras such as: Sutra of Victory over Man, Sutra of Mahaparinirvana, Sutra of Deep Secrets, Sutra of Lang Gia.
* INTRODUCTION:
Or A Sangha (Asanga) , born around the end of the 4th century, in the city of Ba Lo Sa (Purusapura) , Kien Da La ( Gandhàra) country ., North India, of Brahmin lineage, father is Kieu Thi La (Kausika) and mother is Billionaire (Virici) . Asanga is the eldest brother, next is Vasubandha , and the youngest is Virincivaisa , all three have ordained as Buddha. Duy Thuc study.
Asanga was not satisfied with Brahminism, he followed North Indian Buddhism belonging to the Right Order, but did not satisfy him, so he turned to the study of Mahayana sutras, then absorbed and expounded the thought. Mahayana Buddhism thought.
According to legend, he had magical powers, went to the Tusat heaven (Tusit) to study morality with Maitreya (Maitreya).After that, he asked Maitreya to descend into the lecture hall in the country of Ayodhya (Ayodhya) in Central India, for a period of 4 months. At night, Maitreya preached, he studied; During the day, he preached to the masses. His propagation area is the country of Amitabha and Magadha , he also advised his brother Vasubandhu, to switch from the Right Order to study Mahayana, he was 75 years old.
The works of Maitreya include:
- The Yoga Sutras of the Earth (Yogàcàryabhùmi-sàstra) ,
- The Ornate Mahayana Sutras (Mahhayàna-lankàra-sàstra) ,
- The Ten Grounds Sutras (Dasabhùmika-sùtra-sàstra) ,
- The Middle Way of Discrimination (Madhyàntavibhàga-sàstra) ) .

The above-mentioned treatises, including the exposition of the Hoa Nghiem Sutra, and the Middle Way Commentary, are the works of Nagarjuna. Particularly, Yoga Sutra is the basic treatise for the theory of Alaida Dependent Origination, the foundation of the Dharma General School.
* VASUBANDHU (VASUBANDHU):
I was born about 20 years after Asanga, at the end of the 4th century, of Brahmin lineage, ordained as the first Buddha to follow the Right Order , then went to the country of Kasmìtra (Kasmìtra) , studied the teachings of the Great Bhikkhu Sa Luan. After studying, he returned to the country of Kien-dala before writing the Abhidharma Kosara, reinforcing the thought of the Right Order at that time. Later, following his brother Asanga's advice, he turned to study the Mahayana sutras, he wrote many treatises, expounded the Mahayana teachings, and finally passed away in the country of Ayoda , enjoying 80 years old.
Although it is said that he is the author of over a thousand treatises, but only translated into Chinese literature over ten, such as: - Abhidharma-kosa-sàstra (Abhidharma-kosa-sàstra) , Only the Three Consciousnesses Ten Commentaries (Vidyamatrasiddhi-tridasa-sastra-Karik) , Duy Thuc Nhi Thap Luan (Vidyamatra-vimsati-Sastra) , Mahayana Bach France Ming Mon Luan (Mahayana-satadharmavidyadvara-Sastra) ...
Abhidharma Kosa of thought Friends of , and the remaining three arguments belong to the Dharma General School or the Mind Only School, which is Buddhist Psychology.
We know that the Bodhidharma divides all things into 5 flavors, 75 dharmas, the Mind Dharma has only 6: Eye, Ear, Female, Damage, Body and Mind now have Manna, and A Lai Da consciousness.
From Karma, feeling dependent arises, but where does that Karma come from, due to the seeds in A re-Da-consciousness, that is A-da Da-Conditioned Origination.
* TRAN NA (DIGNÁGA or MÁHADIGNÁGA) :
Born at the end of the 5th century, in Kien Tri Thanh (Kâncipura)belonging to the country of South India, Dràvida , at first studied the teachings of the Right Order, then switched to the Mahayana teachings, inheriting the Alaida thought of dependent origination of Asanga and Vasubandhu, he was also adept at the door. The theory of Chinh Ly Phai (Nyaya) is Human Minh Study (Hetuvidhyà) , but found it to be complicated with 5 stages: Ton, Nhan, Example, Hop, and End, so he reduced it to only 3: Ton, Human, Du. It became the subject of Buddhist logic.
His works:
- Nhan Minh Chinh Ly Mon Commentary (Hetuvidya-nyayadvara-sàstra-mùla) ,
- Contemplation of Dependent Law (Alambanaprtyaya-hyàna-sàstra) ...
The first book is to correct the Human Intelligence course, the second book and other treatises are about Alaida Dependent Origination.
* HOUSEHOLD:
The person who lived in the same country as Tran Na, studied with Tran Na about Duy Thuc, then went to Na Lan Da to study, where he transmitted Duy Thuc to study for Gioi Hien, he left Na Lan Da to Dai Bo temple To retreat, then passed away here, at the age of 32.
His works include:
- Thanh Duy Thuc Luan Luan (Vijnàpti-muatrata-siddhi-sàstra) ,
- Contemplation of Dependent Law Luan Thich ... are the treatises that he used to annotate the treatises of Vasubandhu, Tran Na and De Ba. .
* SAYLADHADRA :
A man from Samatata, Central India, when he came to study at Nalanda, he was taught the Mind Only method by the Dharma Protector, and he became a great teacher of Mind Only.
* THANH BIEN (BHAVAVIVEKA) :
Around the sixth century, the South Indians, at first, studied the Analects, then switched to Buddhist studies, inheriting the doctrine of " Realism " of Nagarjuna and De Ba. His missionary was the country of Dhanakataka, in South India.
He authored two treatises:
- Mahayana Chan Tran Tran Comments (Mahhayànatànaratna-sàstra)
- Prajnàdipà-sàstra-kàrika (Prajnàdipà-sàstra-kàrika) , the upper volume talks about the conditioned and the void, the latter explains the Middle Commentary. by Long Tho.
Disciple of Thanh Bian, studied at Nalanda, he understood the doctrines of the Right Order and Mahayana, received the "Truth of Truth" from Nagarjuna, he was the first to distinguish between the high and low teachings of the Buddha. According to Buddhist schools, he divided them into three classes: The lowest was the Right Order: ''The mind scene, the righteous sentence'', the middle class was Asanga and Vasubandhu: ''The mind is right, the scene is empty. ', the highest rank is Nagarjuna: ''The mind scene is priceless''.
In response to Tri Quang, Gioi Hien divided as follows: The lowest is the group of Righteousness: ''Honism'', the middle class is Nagarjuna: ''No teaching'', the highest is Asanga and Vasubandhu: "Middle" doctrine".
In the 7th century, Mr. Huyen Trang went to Thien Truc (India).To study sutras and study at Na Lan Da, both Gioi Hien and Tri Quang wanted to pass on their subjects to Huyen Trang, but Huyen Trang chose to study Duy Thuc with Gioi Hien.
In Buddhism, Nalanda Academy is very famous, because it exchanged ideas of Northern and Southern Buddhist sects at that time, and trained many Buddhist masters such as Gioi Hien, Tri. Quang, Huyen Trang...
This university was built in 480, in the North of Vuong Xa Citadel in Central India, many kings built it through many stages. By the 7th century, according to the records of Mr. Huyen Trang, there were 8 institutes and 300 rooms as a great hall. old blue, magnificent, here sometimes up to 30,000 monks from other countries come to study, great Chinese masters such as Phap Hien, Huyen Trang, Nghia Tinh ... when coming to India, they all come here to study, Now only the bare foundations remain, exposed to the years.
In the eighth century, the Muslim army of Turkey invaded India, from then until 1203, the Muslim army occupied the whole of Central India, then divided the army to occupy different places. Temples were burned, monks and nuns were harmed. Buddhism was destroyed by Islam in its homeland. As a result, the currents of Buddhist thought did not develop further, and it was not until 1891 that Anagarika Dharmapala, a Sri Lankan, close collaborator of Henry Stelle Ocott, visited Bodhgaya and saw the Buddha's sight. The decline of Indian Buddhism, he vowed to resurrect Indian Buddhism, since then, more than a century ago, Buddhism has begun to revive in India, but by the end of the 20th century, perhaps only 1% billion. Indians follow Buddhism only.
After that, Hinduism returned to Buddhism in Bodhgaya, today many countries have built temples in Bodhgaya, or in Lumbini in Nepal, and there is a project to build a Buddhist University on India, right in the homeland of the Buddha's mission, to make Buddhism flourish here again, to become a center of propagation, in harmony with the wave of Buddhism that is spreading all over the world.
