VU LAN HOLIDAY IN VIET NAM

For a long time ago, a legend of the Buddha "reincarnation" became a life and customs of Vietnam's culture, so that every year we have a date Vu lan - date signaling with father mother, grandparents, ancestors. To today, whether life has evolved, people still need to make every day living a day Vu lan ...

Even childhood, my family and I evacuated to the countryside. For years, every full moon in July is up to me to follow my mother to the temple. Often these days rain poured, my mother said it was the rain eventuality. Rain, small village temples but full passersby, my mother told everyone to the temple to burn incense signaling parents, grandparents, and for the "souls". Eat some porridge at flowers, holding popcorn package, I love it.

Then I grew up and joined the army, every year back home once or twice. See me skinny, she cried. Seeing my shirt torn, patched mother painstakingly sit for me. Mom started eating a lot, though that day my family life where there are abundant ... Yet until the spread is what Vu said, "Hungry Ghost" meaning the stars, said thinking of "One Heart Worship Honor your father and mother - Giving round Piety is directing the new "only a few years, my parents about where nine streams.

Not think I care, helping parents how much, confided to a friend, then a lot of people, too. "Having a new child knows parents heart" - the words of the ancients both words sum up, just as each person's commandment, whether as parents also need to preserve the filial filial piety.

Legend has it that the Buddha, formerly La Boc he followed the Buddha, religious enlightenment, became Bodhisattva Maudgalyayana (Maha Mahamoggallana) - one of his trusted disciples of the Buddha, there are many miracles . Since mother died should always bring joy Maudgalyayana missed. For his mother when he was, he used the "peephole" search every side, saw her mother in the "realm of the devil", was tortured while alive pole because she had caused sin. Maudgalyayana love my mother, he down "demon realms" put a bowl of rice that mom mother is not eating.

He returned to ask the Buddha. Hearing this, the Buddha said that though brilliant Maudgalyayana not save his mother, the only way people are teamed together. He then economic theory Vu lan (Ullambana Sutra) recommend to the full moon day in July, the same people Moggallana prepared so very sincere worship will save the mother. Buddha tells us who wish signaling to parents that do it that way. Maudgalyayana follow Buddha, save me.

Perhaps from this legend that forms the Vu Lan ceremony. Annual and Vu lan season, including the right to the full moon day in July, people come together to express affection, gratitude for you parents, thank grandparents, ancestors. It is signaling to the thanks of people born into - virtuous leader in "four gifts" of the Buddha, as the scriptures says: "An extremely virtuous parents, including not ever", "extreme conditions facilities tastes nothing. Ultimately evil, nothing with disloyalty '...

So when the word of the Buddha on an element of human morals, met with the mind, the emotions of the nation has "reincarnation" to launch a cultural customs "by religious from the beginning to the - Church father, mother glasses that are true practitioners. " So how life is, Vu Lan became a humanistic behavior in society, contributing to the maintenance and strengthening of family morality, the people uphold their lineage to remind filial filial. Moreover, filial become an important standard to judge people, but if not sincere, earnest practice will be public condemnation, ridicule community.

As the Vietnam, everyone knows exactly double the Alexandrine: "The father as Mount Tai - Mean mother as water from flowing out." Industry and parental nurturing is endless. Each person was born and grew up, for parents is always the pride and the result of the efforts to overcome many physical difficulties - spirit. Public father - Mother penetrates deep into every person, every family, clan, penetrates deep into the lifestyle of the community, should behave so deserve.

As one of the principles of ethical living, in the national tradition, filial piety is practical for each child, where parents have only at death, but the years of the time the parents are also weak pain should always take care of both physically and mentally.

So since ancient times, through her mother's lullabies, singing lullabies through dance, filial piety is the first moral lesson passed on in every family, and to this day, Vietnam culture still maintain, preserve keep proverbs, folk affirmed and expressed their respects to the level of student "knows preterm premature Up - child labor knows samples from", "Ever streamline dragon fish - thanks dad Temple treble old mother "," Church parents, in wholeheartedly - that is filial usually taught in rotation "," elderly mother in broken hut - Early visit, new visitor had dark womb, "" the evening of stand lane later - Peering in his motherland, nine-dimensional intestinal pain ", ...

Not only that, for those who neglect filial or borrow the "signaling" to do the wrong thing, our ancestors also reminded, disparagingly: "Fish do not eat salt spoilage - I do not listen to parents hundred lines naughty "," old Mom hanging out pots of rice - which he red towel, towel squeezed shoulder thing, "" Live, then I did not fed - Death, the meat away, as flies oration "...

On a broader sense, not only for Vu lan filial piety, but also the day "Hungry Ghost", as we are still talking about the sentence: "July fifteenth day of the Hungry Ghost". Formerly the notion that his father, lived in life not everyone who lost loved ones also worship.

Someone lost because unfortunately encountered war, natural disasters and epidemics. Some people are not driven to do evil that good, died when they become "ghosts" where corporal punishment "demon realms", each year only once been "absolved" of the positive part time receive Shirt clothing, food sacrificed by relatives. With the "death's" no family worship, with those who do evil, to date, "absolution" to help people living with the votive offerings, gruel, popcorn ...

Put aside the notion of a period of "two worlds", we recognize here an important factor contributing to the reinforcement of traditional and cultural ways of the people is compassion, is the concept which and building capacity for harmonious living. "Hungry Ghost" is both a love for people unlucky, just show altruism towards people had bad behavior towards men. And have to say that the main things have contributed to maintaining the moral foundation of the Vietnam traditional society.

Today, life was different, awareness of the world, about human life has also changed. Man lives with his real life, by the hand and his intelligence to make a life for themselves, their families and society. Also so that a new and innovative criteria of quality, human behavior has been established. It is indispensable, is the need of the development process.

But the relationship between tradition and modernity, the relentless flow of culture to convey in which some human values ​​mean unchanging, can only expand and upgrade over time, not losing , such as filial piety such people. Although nowhere civilized society, though how filled life, each person must still be parents nurtured to maturity, so filial piety should always be appreciated.

Unfortunately, in recent years, the impact of lifestyle towards materialism, the material taken as a standard assessment of social relationships - people - family, then living emotionless attitude and selfish .. . did arise in the relations parents - children some deplorable phenomena, must be adjusted to preserve the moral health of society. For lack of filial piety role, we must recognize the duality. On the one hand, stems from some irresponsible parents in family education, abandoned children, social mercy or by satisfying the needs that push children to state corruption.

On the other hand, are due to lack of proper conception (even very wrong) some people for their parents. Persons responsible for child neglect. Valet is the duty of filial piety is more emotional. Who rely on money to conduct but forget that for parents, money is not everything. There are even cases of abusive parents were once public opinion vehemently condemned. Not to mention some fanfare signaling to profiteering, sacrifice, cost money, not necessarily for good luck sincerely with the dead ... The acts that can only be explained from the misconceptions and the weak self-adjustment of one's moral.

The right concept will have the correct behavior, especially when in its nature, filial piety has close ties with affection, with a sincere attitude. Regarding this, an ancient sage said: "Yes that is helping, with wine, good food tastes invite parents is reasonable? Keep being cheerful countenance when sharing with parents is what is difficult" "When parents are still alive, just staring at the enrichment, not taking care of their parents is not round filial piety" ...

As a philosopher once said, every myth contain a human idea of ​​reality, with Vu lan season and day "Hungry Ghost", his father wants her message to the children of filial piety teachings , to make people moral. Respectfully with parents is a common denominator of human culture, but every culture has different ways of expressing the same.

However, in culture, those who are still to taste the moral example of the community are enhanced. With Vietnam, Vu Lan also is on compassionate fellow, so the meaning was extended, so people are towards goodness. "Children dependable father, the old reliable", signaling the daily stories, in heart, in particular employment. Need to teach families what filial piety requires, through the behavior of parents with grandparents, ancestors to become a model for children. Disregarded this request, no one else, parents will suffer the consequences.

Eventual rain poured, the weather started to collect. Vu lan season was on, the temple was renovated to welcome pilgrims. The sisters left her oblation offerings prepared parents, grandparents and other "human casualties". Re eager to taste but not for people caught up in the waste, for good luck, neglect the practical signaling behavior. For if truly to taste, then every day will be a day Vu lan.
