Dharma-ending Age

Although most would agree that
we are currently living in
degenerate times, oft referred to
as the
“Dharma-ending Age,”
there are other considerations
given in the sutras that offer great
hope. First, it would appear that
the most dire of predictions on the
time that the dharma would
remain applied to India, the land
of its earthly origins. For example,
The Sutra of the Golden Age states
that the dharma will only exist in
its pure form for 500 years after
the passing of Shakyamuni
Buddha. After that the dharma will
exist as a shadow of its real self
for another 1,500 years. Other
sutras refer to a period of
1,000-2,000 years as well. It is true
that the Buddhism lasted in India
for less than 2,000 years.

However, Buddhism was exported
to other countries where it took
root and flourished for much
longer. In China it lasted for many
centuries and in Tibet it flourished
for over a thousand years.
Also, as Shakyamuni Buddha tells
Subhuti in the Diamond-Cutter
Sutra, when the dharma ending
days come, great Bodhisattvas
who possess morality, fine
qualities, and wisdom will
incarnate to revitalize the dharma.
In India there were the Six Jewels
(Great Dharma Kings--Nagarjuna,
Aryadeva, Asanga, Vasubandhu,
Dignaga, and Dharmakirti) who
developed the texts that are
considered the core classic
commentaries today. In Tibet
there were the great Dharma
Kings: Padmasambhava, Marpa,
Sakya Pandita, Dolpopa,
Longchenpa, Tsongkhapa,
Tangtong Gyalpo, Taranatha,
Jigme Lingpa and others.
For over 500 years between the
coming of Master
Padmasambhava in the 8th
century until Master Tsongkhapa
came in the 14th century, the
great or high dharmas were
available in Tibet and many
people easily achieved
enlightenment in one lifetime. This
was because the tantric teachings
were freely taught
—even to
many who did not have the
discipline or qualifications to
receive them. By the 14th
century, Master Tsongkhapa
(1357-1419) had a different
situation. Because the tantric
teachings had been so liberally
transmitted and the discipline
required for proper transmission
had been lax, there were many
false rinpoches and lamas and
much of what was being practiced
as dharma was not correct. Master
Tsongkhapa was sent to this world
by the Adharma Buddha (Adi-
Buddha), Samantabhadra. Master
Tsongkapa
’s mission was to
restore the discipline and bring
order out of the chaos that had
developed from the other
transmissions to the Nyingma,
Jonang, Kagyu, and Sakya sects. It
is not that the other transmissions
were wrong. It is just that because
of the lack of discipline and the
transmission of dharma to those
who were not qualified to receive
it, the dharma became corrupted
and many of the lineages were
filled with false rinpoches and false
dharma, as is true today. Master
Tsongkapa, a great scholar and
disciplinarian, dutifully set out to
correct the dharma and restore
order to monastic practice. To set
an example for his monks, Master
Tsongkhapa, himself a monk, did
not practice the higher tantric
dharmas. As a result he was not
able to obtain the
rainbow body or
become a Buddha while alive. He
only obtained Buddhahood in the
bardo. Also he did not transmit
these higher dharmas to his
disciples. The Geluk sect itself does
not have these higher tantric
practices. The Gelukas cannot
obtain enlightenment in one
lifetime from the practice of their
own teachings.
The systems that evolved for
classifying these periods or ages of
the dharma are generally as
follows:
Golden Age or Age of True
Dharma
(500-1,000 years):
Practitioners are of a high capacity
and the teachings are transmitted
intact, so that many achieve the
goal of liberation. During this
period the teaching is vigorous,
people are capable of
comprehending it AND putting it
into practice and many attain
enlightenment under their own
power.
Age of Counterfeit or Semblance
Dharma
; zobo in Japanese
(500-1,000 years): Practitioners
have lower capacities, shorter life-
spans, and the teachings are
transmitted imperfectly so that
only a semblance of the true
dharma remains, with attainment
of the goal being rare. Only a few
people of great intelligence are
able to grasp the doctrine correctly
and obtain enlightenment.
Dharma Ending Age or Age of
the Final Dharma, mo-fa in Chinese
or mappo in Japanese (500-1,000
years): Practitioners are of a low
capacity, the dharma cannot be
transmitted correctly, and the
world is beset by so many
problems that is not possible to
practice. It was in response to the
perception that we had entered
this period that the new modes of
practice arose such as the Pure
Land Sect that relies on the power
of an already-enlightened Buddha
or the Nichiren Sect which relies on
chanting the Lotus Sutra.
It is also stated that the method
for accounting for these periods
are different in the sutras and in
the tantras. The
Kalachakra tantra,
for example, has the end of the
vajryana coming in 4224 C.E. and
the mahayana in 4120 C.E.
By any of the methods of
accounting and by just observing
the world around us, it can be seen
that we have entered the
"Dharma Ending Age." However,
the Buddha, having foreseen this
dark age, provided for teachings
that were appropriate for the
different ages and predicted that
great Holy Ones would incarnate
at appropriate times and places to
revitalize and teach the dharma
that was appropriate for that
period of time and place. It is
because of these conditions that
His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha
III came to this world to
demonstrate that the true
Buddha-dharma does still exist
and to offer us a "
Quick Path" to
liberation. When talking about H.H.
Dorje Chang Buddha III, Penor
Rinpoche, the third leader of the
Nyingma Sect, told
Ven. Zhaxi
Zhuoma Rinpoche that “because
this is the Dharma Ending Age, it is
good that such a high being has
incarnated."

setuju, tapi pada masa sekarang ini masih adakah orang yang melaksanakan JM8 dan 4KM itu dengan tekun dan serius?

nah ini bro Sakka, karena kita hanya melihat kehidupan di kota, rasanya memang susah menemukan para Arahat.

kita juga tidak tahu andaikan ada Bhikkhu/petapa yang hidup tekun dan serius dan menjalani praktek kehidupan ditempat/hutan yang sunyi sekarang ini (terutama di negara2 Buddhis).

di negara-negara Buddhis, banyak wanita yg menjalani kehidupan suci tanpa menyandang status bhikkhuni

betul sekali !
malah keyakinan umat setempat, wanita2 yang hanya praktek 8 sila dibarengi latihan Bhavana tekun dan serius sesuai Buddha Dhamma dan mampu mencapai Makhluk Ariya (sotapana bahkan lebih tinggi ).  _/\_
