Abstract

Philosophy of life.
2. Works on Path stages are first of all destined for practice. This kind of teaching is especially peculiarity of Eastern religious and philosophical thought. As for European philosophy, there are directions of ''Philosophy of life''. Common tendency of all these teachings consists in considering of moral problems of right life, of what is good and what is evil. These problems of personality are always connected with his surroundings and in most cases were set as a social philosophy.
2. A Wheel of life/12 links/
The main peculiarity of philosophy of life consists in basing on personal life experience, which is experience of activities towards surroundings. So ideas on surroundings are also a part of a concept about life. In Buddhism there are the twelve links, representing the wheel of life.
3. Turning a Wheel of Dharma by Buddha.
There is also a concept of turning a wheel of Dharma by Buddha. If we make an observation about peculiarities of rotating wheel, we can see that the wheel has no end and all points of it are repeated by others.
As for the twelve links, its can be defined by attachment to views on I, Soul, Mine. Concerning the wheel of Dharma, we can say that after the turning of it by the Buddha a wheel of life began to rotate around the Buddha's Dharma. There is a term ''an experienced Buddha'' in Buddhist sutras and it is said that experienced Buddha ''results from Bodhi''. It means that the Buddha's teaching is the result of his life experience, which was dedicated to other beings. If a method of becoming Buddha is Bodhi, awareness of it is represented by views on emptiness of I, Sould and Mine. Becoming the Buddha means awareness of human mind through awareness of his own one.
4. Socialization through rotating around Buddha's teaching
As for the wheel of life, the Buddha is not outside of the wheel, but in the centre of it, and after the turning of the wheel of Dharma, the wheel of life is rotating around him, and human beings, rotating on the wheel, are guided by him in their morality.
Tsonkapa's Lamrim, reflecting the path to Enlightenment and to becoming Buddha as a whole, considers not only inner world of humans on this path, but also his deeds and speech and is dedicated to their socialization with the help of the Buddha's teaching.
5. Buddhist cult as one of the methods to socialize human beings through the Buddha's teaching.
Buddhist cult is mainly associated with Tsonkapa's modernization and sometimes is considered as moving away from early Buddhism. But it seems that Buddhist cult represents one of the methods to socialize, to shape inner world of humans.
6. Bow by 3 doors/body, speech and mind/
As an example, we can say some words about bow by body, speech and mind, as it is represented in the Stages on the Path to Bodhi by Tsonkapa /1,22a/. Purpose of bow by body is becoming sublime and means aiming to all Buddhas. Meaning of bow by body is ''good deeds'' and is giving force to acquire faith in good deeds. Bow by mind is giving force to mention awareness of buddhas and bodhisattvas. Bow by speech is praising them.
