| Subject: Tri Tue, Tuy Duyen |
| Post No: 769 Reply to: 764 |
Seem to me you learn a lot about Buddhism lately. Congratulation. One of the best way to learn is asking questions like you. You learn quick this way, even though not in a coherent and systematic way. I recommend picking up a Introduction to Buddhism book at any bookstore. Now let me try to answer your question. 1) You are partially correct about Tri Tue. Tri Tue (some people say Tri Hue; I think they are the same.) The Sanskrit word for Tri Hue is Prajna. It means to know something without conceptualizing it. It is beyond intellect. It has no duality. Most (or All) of the time, when we think and solve a problem we use ourself as a reference point. This reference point is not perfect and constantly changing, therefore our solution is not correct because we will end up with different solution at different time even though we dont recognize it. Tri Tue is seeing things as they are (their true nature). Tri Tue is not speculation; seeing things with all of their causes and effects at once. 2) Tuy Duyen. You know, sometimes we Vietnamese use Ha'n Vie^t, it is difficult to understand. I guess Tuy Duyen means "depending on your opportunity". If I'm correct, then Tuy Duyen means your past karma and your present merits lead you to an environment where you have an opportunity to listen (Tuy Duyen) and understand the Buddha's Dharma (using your intellect). Eventually these two ingredients will merge and you will attain enlightenment. I hope some body out there can explain to you better than I can. Buddhas bless you. |
