So the Buddhist perspective on issues divination like astrology?

Please answer the religion Buddhism is enlightenment. The divination as astrology, to import copper core is not present in the Buddhist teachings. What people are often referred to as the network number that is karma in Buddhism. If we believe in karma, it is natural to have some networks, but the Buddha taught everything is mind-made. Just peace of mind and peace of the place.

In the Zhuan Falun immediately after the Buddha's enlightenment and economic Di Church just before the Buddha Nirvana, he advised his followers not to see divination, see hexagram, see the stars and see physiognomy. In five subjects are taught at the university previously Buddhism in India is not a licensed minister of divination and astrology, but there's taught school as Language School, Craft School, Medicine and ethics.

According to the Buddhist viewpoint, the problem disasters or pleasure, pain or misfortune, rich or poor people are so evil that we planted many lives before and after this life or retribution. Back additional effort or lazy in this life that can change or affect the destiny of this life or the next. Due to the different sow in life before that receive different circumstances in this life. The so-called context also includes the genetic parents, the context of culture, civilization, nurture and education, brothers, cousins, friends and fellow teachers. They all affect the fate of a lifetime. Although artificial life out in front is bad, led to the current situation, but if there is the practice of inner surface and good exercise, cultivate more sense to expand the intellectual destiny will change in a good way.

Buddhist concepts, not by a man that no one created, can be corrected using, being payoff, to live or to die. Buddhists do not believe in the so-called "fate" arrangement. Buddhists believe that the operation of the universe and the evolution of the flow of life, is due to karma created beings. The process of cause and effect is not due to an omnipotent character and disposition of any control, but by deeds of body, speech and mind of us everyday. It is a natural law. We are responsible for the actions we do, we must also bear responsibility for the consequences of his actions. Acceptance here does not mean complacency or resignation with the so-called "Fate" arrangements, because we have the freedom to change and fix things or results that we did not fancy . As we failed, we must try to cram back, how is achieved. We create private ownership, we do all the work life. Just make wise person, hard to take good care of human growth, the juicy ripe fruit will come to our hands easily. That is causal, and if we believe deeply convinced of this, certainly will not go as superstition that divination or begging horoscope tattoo Island bridge.

A Chinese monk is Tri Khai University professor, in a book entitled "The Only Restaurant Mongolia", including case notes Sa-di young disciple of the abbot had attained Arhat. Abbot know within a week his disciples die, inevitably, went quietly to his disciples about the visit. Note novice on the way home saw an anthill on levees being a threatening rip currents swept away. Uncle Sa-di compassionate young ants dive music, he jumped into the river to undress, the power back to the pier can be broken to save the anthill. Save anthill, uncle Sa-Mobile continues to hit the road and visit the temple after a week back. The abbot saw disciples back peace pagoda, the mood was lighter pink, very astonished, asked him to pay a novice, the past week has done what. After a novice recall uncle was the first detailed narrative story tail drive is saved from death. Abbot concluded by paying Sa-di vast compassion when drive is saved for the move now, should have died within a week to remain safely and continue to live life for many years.

 Due to the above story, we see that there is something permanent, something that no statutory or fate, our minds change every moment, and so now awake and karma has changed every moment. If the master of divination horoscope minister said what happens in the future that we believe, that is, we believe that all the later work is often not very often and is not a statutory estate Legal, ie we blindly deny that causal laws and teachings of the Buddha's impermanence.

In summary, for the considered astrology divination, as well as the application for the island's tattoo work with superstitious character, has no place in Buddhism. The Buddhists are advised to be careful not to fall into the pit of superstition heart disorders caused by fear is not necessary. One time meditating daily or Buddhist concept of great help to purify evil thoughts in mind. Mind purged automatically lead to a clean body and healthy. Dharma is the medicine to cure all kinds of heart disease. A moment of pure mind is discontinued create as many now, how many people stop sowing and how many miles away from misery.

In the Dhammapada, the Buddha taught:

"Not in the sky, sea,

Not flee to mountain activities,

No place on earth,

Results escape karma. "

If everyday people doing good, not good, just lo create offense, karma, life struggles shocked when retribution comes, no one can avoid, even though there are more non overboard and escaped into the cave.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGHTHFOLD PATH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.27/4/2015.
