It depends on the person to speak Dharma.
The World-Honored One often observes the basis for teaching depending on the conditions. Even though it is equal for all living beings, the means and methods of preaching as well as the concern for each group of subjects are different.
At one time the World-Honored One was staying at Nalanda, in the Pàmàrikamba forest. Then the village chief Asibandhakaputta went to pay homage to the Buddha:
World-Honored One, why is it that for some people the World-Honored One preaches the Dharma completely and not for others?
Hey village chief, what do you think, a farmer has three fields. One type of good field, one type of middle level and one type of bad field. Which field does the farmer want to sow seeds in first?
World-Honored One, of course the plowman wants to sow seeds in the good field first.
This is the same, village chief, just like a good field is my Bhikkhus and Bhikkhunis. For example, the average field is my male and female lay followers. To them I preach the Dharma that is good in the beginning, good in the middle and good in the end, with meaning and writing. I tell them about the pure life of Pham Hanh. Because they live with Me as their refuge. For example, bad fields represent pagans, Brahmins, and wanderers. To them I preach the Dharma that is good in the beginning, good in the middle and good in the end, with meaning and writing. Because if they understand just one sentence, then they will be happy and peaceful for a long time.
Buddha taught to preach the Dharma to people who must have all five virtues
Discussion:
All sentient beings have the potential for enlightenment, however dependentkarma of each person, that ability is promoted and there are certain achievements.
According to the Buddha's wisdom, there are three basic groups of subjects that need to be differentiated and educated. First of all, for monastic disciples, good fields need to be sown first. The fruits of liberation of the Four Noble Fruits are already latent in the monastic ranks. With the advantage of the monastic life of not being bound by family, they can devote all their time to meditation and thus attaining the saints is something they will definitely reap. This is also the reason why the World-Honored One favors the eldest son.
Next comes the goodslay Buddhists, the lay disciples of the World-Honored One. Due to the nature of their livelihood and many ties to family and society, they cannot specialize in practicing liberation like monastics. However, lay people have a great responsibility to protect the Dharma and can still achieve the Holy results from the First to the Third Fruits. Therefore, lay people in the Dharma are middle-class fields, and if they devote themselves to cultivating them, they will be well compensated.
In addition, for the bad fields, the World-Honored One still sowed seeds of hope, hoping that they would participate in enlightenment to gain benefits.
Therefore, the World-Honored One often observes the basis for teaching depending on conditions. Even though it is equal for all living beings, the means and method of preaching as well as the concern for each group of subjects are different.End=Nam Mo Shakyamuni Buddha.( 3 Times ).Golden ZEN Buddhist Monastery.Vietnmaese Buddhist Nun=Venerable Nun THich Chan Tanh.Vietnamese Translate english by=Venerable Thich Chan Tanh.
