According to mythology, Buddhist monks, in order to achieve enlightenment, must show humanity the way to salvation. Tibet first became acquainted with this religion in the 700s, when the Great Master - Guru Rinpoche - came from India to defeat the demons. After that, they forever became an integral part of Tibetan Buddhism.
Buddhism today
Buddhism is the oldest of the three world religions. Christianity appeared about five centuries later, and Islam about 12 centuries later. Buddhist monks mainly live in Asian countries, in China, Korea, Mongolia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, Laos and Thailand. On the territory of our country, this religion is practiced by the inhabitants of Tuva, Buryatia and Kalmykia. But recently, Buddhist monks are also found in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other large Russian cities. It is difficult to determine how many in the total number of followers of this religion there are in the world. But approximately one can say that in general there are about one million monks and nuns and about 400 million lay people.
Buddhist rosary
Followers of the Buddha use a rosary to concentrate their thoughts while reciting mantras. Traditionally, they contain exactly 108 beads, but, in principle, variations are possible, since their number indicates certain provisions of the teaching. For example, 108 beads of a traditional rosary imply 108 types of human desires that darken his spirit. They are associated with the six senses: smell, sight, touch, hearing, taste and mind. Desires about the relation to internal and external objects, to the past, present and future. There are three ways to control them: in words, thoughts and deeds. There are other options for deciphering the number 108, but this is the most famous.
Teachings of the Buddha. Diamond Way
Diamond Way Buddhism is often described as the crown jewel of the Great Buddha's teachings. Its main goal is to realize the authenticity of each event, as this expresses the unlimited potential of the mind. To ensure quick results in achieving enlightenment, Buddhist monks rely on inspired insight to transform all sensations into natural purity.
At a time when the disciples saw in the Buddha not a divine person, but simply trusted him as a mirror of their mind, he could introduce them to the Diamond Way. With his strength and penetrating vision, he awakened in people the virtues that contributed to their full development.
Three approaches of the highest level of Buddhism
The highest level of the Buddha's teaching includes three approaches: the Way of Methods, the Way of Profound Vision, and meditation on the Lama. buddhist monks,using these methods, they get the opportunity to fully develop due to their energy or awareness of power. The broadest approach to enlightenment is meditation on the Lama, but only if the teacher is reliable. A person can be in the space of his mind until his own personal qualities reach the required level of development. Diamond Way Buddhism promotes the effective removal of negative and harmful influences. Thanks to this teaching, a person will get rid of what can later become the cause of difficult situations. We need to work with our own mind, and then we will not become a victim of our own actions.
