1. The teaching is the “Doctrine of Dependent Origination.” 2. The training method is the “Seven Departments and Thirty-Seven Points of the Path” (also called the “Thirty-Seven Bodhi-Divisions”).
In later classifications, the “Doctrine of Dependent Origination” is called “Exoteric Buddhism.”
The Four Stages to Liberation
“The Four Stages to Liberation”
Anyone must go through these four stages to attain liberation.
And if you follow these four stages under the guidance of an excellent master,
anyone can attain liberation. Of course, that is true for you too.
The four stages are:
1. Sudhaon
2. Sidhagon
3. Anagon
4. Arhat
To explain,
Sudaon: A saint who has removed all impurities
Sidagon: A saint who has been enlightened
Anagon: A saint who has made a leap (above dimensions)
Arhat: A saint who has transcended (a great dimension) and reached perfection, also called “Buddha”.
So how does a practitioner walk through these four stages?
The method and system for attaining spiritual perfection
This is the training method for attaining spiritual perfection that Shaka left behind. This is called the “method of attaining Buddhahood”. Attaining Buddhahood means attaining spiritual perfection, and a person who has achieved this is called a “Buddha”. That is why I call this method the “method of attaining Buddhahood”.
It is a method and system for attaining Buddhahood consisting of seven systems and 37 types of curriculum. It is a Buddhist term.
I say this because, in addition to the historical fact that Shaka actually only preached the Agama Sutra,
there is no other “method of attaining Buddhahood” apart from the Agama Sutra. I cannot accept a scripture that does not contain the “method of attaining Buddhahood” as a true Buddhist scripture. Of course, it may have a certain reason or value for its existence, but it is not the mainstream. It should be called a side stream.
The Seven Subjects and Thirty-Seven Courses are as follows:
Four mindfulness methods—Body mindfulness method, Receiving mindfulness method, Mind mindfulness method, Dharma mindfulness method
Four correct severance methods—Severance method
Right severance method
Four divine feet methods—Desire divine feet method, Diligent divine feet method
Following severance method
Mind divine feet method
Cutting severance method
Contemplation divine feet method
Five root methods—Faith root method, Diligence root method, Mindfulness root method, Concentrated root method, Wisdom root method
Five power methods–Faith power method, Diligence power method, Mind power method, Concentrated power method, Wisdom power method
Seven enlightenment methods—Selection method enlightenment method, Diligence enlightenment method, Joy enlightenment method, Light and peaceful enlightenment method
Concentrated enlightenment method, Mind enlightenment method
Breaking enlightenment method
Right mindfulness method
That’s all.
These seven subjects and 37 types of curriculum can be classified into: 1. Meditation 2. Practice 3. Tapas (practice) The four mindfulness practices and five root practices are forms of meditation.
The Four Right Decisions, the Five Powers, the Seven Enlightenments, and the Eightfold Path are practice and meditation.
The Four Divine Feet are a special kind of tapas.
Divine Feet are supernatural powers (psychic abilities), and the Four Divine Feet are four types of training methods to obtain supernatural supernatural powers.
My tapas, which I mentioned before, belong to this category.
Of these seven subjects, the training is centered on tapas, incorporating meditation and practical subjects.
The holy teacher decides which subjects to incorporate and how to train. Each practitioner has different qualities and karma, so the guru decides based on that.
The guru plays a big role in this training. Let me tell you a little about the guru.
Spiritual Baptism
If you find a guru who has definitely revealed your spirituality, accept him or her, and train yourself, you can say that you have succeeded in training your strength to 80%. That is how important and difficult it is.
Without a guru, proper Buddhist training for spiritual awakening is impossible. It is different from ordinary Buddhist faith. It may be as simple as being taught how to have faith, how to have faith, or being lectured and interpreted on the scriptures, but Buddhist training for spiritual awakening is almost impossible without the help of a holy teacher with strong spiritual powers.
For example, when the modern Indian saint Ramana Maharishi performed an acceptance ceremony for a new disciple using the “method of gaze,” it is said that the brilliance and power of his eyes pierced the mind of the new disciple and cut off the flow of distracting thoughts. At times, it is said that the new disciple felt as if an electric current had flowed into his body.
Through such spiritual experiences, the disciple’s mind is first purified, and he begins to yearn for spiritual things and to have a desire for spiritual improvement.
1 As a teaching, “the doctrine of auspiciousness”
2 As a training method, “Seven departments and thirty-seven dozens” (also called “37 Bodhipakkhi”)
Is.
If this is called by the classification method of posterity, “the doctrine of auspiciousness” is “religion”.
Four steps leading to liberation
“Four steps leading to liberation”
Anyone must go through these four steps to reach liberation.
And if you follow these four steps according to the excellent Holy Master,
The lever can also reach liberation. Of course, you are right.
What are the four ladders?
One, Shudaon (Sudagaki)
2. Sidagon (including this)
Three, Anagon (including Anagon)
Four, Arhat (Arhat)
Is.
To explain,
Shudaon The saint who removed all his injuries
Sidagon, the saint
Anagon (a dimension) a leap of saint
Alhat Buddha
It is also called “Budda”, a saint who transcends (large dimensions) and is completed.
How will the practitioner walk through these four steps?
Method and system of spiritual completion
That is the practice of spiritual completion left by Shaka. This is called the “Buddhahood Law”. The Buddhahood means the completion of spirituality, and the person who fulfills it is called “Budda”. That is why I call that method the “Buddhahood Law.”
It is a method for a certain Buddhahood from seven systems and thirty-seven curriculums
And system. Is a Buddhist term.
..
The historical fact that Shaka was actually told only by Agama
Since there is no such “Buddhahood method” other than Agama, I say so.
be. I consider it a true Buddhist scripture, such as a scripture without the “Buddhahood Law”.
Cannot be done. Of course, there will be some significance and value of existence.
However, it is not the mainstream. It should be called a sidestream.
The seven departments and thirty-seven dozens are as follows.
Satipatthana method — Satipatthana method, Satipatthana method, Satipatthana method, Satipatthana method
Four Right Exertions — Cutting Method

That is all.
These seven subjects, thirty-seven kinds of curriculum,
-,meditation
2, practice
3, tapas (training)
Can be classified into.
The Satipatthana method and the Indriya method are meditations.
The Four Right Exertions, the Five Strengths, the Seven Factors of Awakening, and the Noble Eightfold Path are practices and meditations.
Iddhipada is a special tapas.
Iddhipada is a mythical power (supernatural power), and this Iddhipada method is a supernatural mythical power.
There are four types of training to obtain. My tapas mentioned earlier belongs to this
To do.
Of these seven subjects, meditation and practice subjects are taken into consideration, centering on tapas.
Do it.
The priest decides which subjects to take and how to train. Osamu
Each person has different qualities and ties, so when you look at it, the guru decides.

Guru plays a major role in this training. A little about Guru
Spiritual baptism
Undoubtedly find a guru that reveals spirituality and accept it
It can be said that he was successful as he was able to improve his skills. It ’s that important and it ’s difficult.
Is.
Without a guru, proper spiritual manifestation of Buddhist training is impossible. Ordinary Buddhism
It is different from devotion. How to believe, how to believe, lectures and interpretations of scriptures
Anyway, the Buddhist training of spirituality is a powerful spirit.
You can’t do it without the help of a doctor of the church
It is.
For example, the modern Indian saint Ramana Maharishi, to his introductory
When performing the acceptance ritual in the “method of staring”, he combined the brilliance and power of his eyes.
It is said that he broke the heart of his hand and cut off the flow of thoughts. With time
It is said that the other party felt as if an electric current had flowed into his body.
This kind of spiritual experience first cleanses the disciple and wants to be spiritual.
You will have a longing to do it, and you will have a spiritual aspiration.
