There are many ways to practice meditation. It is concentration, by mechanism: when the brain concentrates on an object, it creates an inner strength; Inhibit and cause other parts of the cerebral cortex to rest. Thus, avoiding the phenomenon of mind scattered.
Meditation has a great effect: making the mind calm; invention and creative; create a confidence, courage and diligence person.
According to AjahnChah (2008), "Living in the world meditating, others find you like a gong not to be touched and not make any sound. They think you are as crazy and
failure. But truly the contrastion is correct.The truth was hidden in the unreal, as well as the constant hidden in the impermanence1". Meditation develops through five forms: paganism, vulgar man, Theravada, Mahayana, Zen.

In Vietnam, the Ly dynasty, the Tran dynasty,Buddhism was mostly Zen. In the Le dynasty, Zen Buddhismwas becoming weaker. When Vietnam was subordinate to France, Zen Buddhism became latent. In Japan, Zen Buddhism up to now still stands. So, the prosperity of the nation is the prosperity of ZenBuddhism, because ZenBuddhismemphasizes self-belief, self-reliant.
(3) Zen Buddhism is realistic
Zen Buddhism advocates intellectual development, pointing out the true value (true mind) of humans. The mind is expressed in six sense organs: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and consciousness. Reality is becoming clear, when practicing elaborately, meditators practice in every action, in four majesty(walking, standing, lying, sitting), especially at work.

Practice meditating on the heat inside the persondefeat cold air, and will not catch a cold. "Meditation is brought to life, serving the nation, the people and the social crowd, guiding people to cultivate and perfect moral virtue..."3

It is the immediate effect as well as the lively and creative method of the realized Zen masters, forcing the disciple to approach the lively reality in order to perceive the truth, not through complex interpretations. That is very helpful to the person who has sensitive foundation. It is "bold tricks" cut off the rampant thought stream of consciousness, out of all means of thinking, the mind becomes empty, so that there is an opportunity to acquire the truth of Zen, "The trick is especially suited to the current foundation, benefit only for the current foundation and not applies to everyone"

When approaching a new situation, new challenge, it requires a new response, if an individual is a non-dogmatic, then the well-publicized society. Hate cannot end with hatred but with love.
* Awareness of the world, the age, the process of international economic integration, scientific objectivity, dialectics, avoid of subjective imposition, derived from the logic: All laws are generated by the consciousness in a subjective way, focusing mind only, then produce action.
* Consistency in purpose, flexibility in the combination of forces in the body - mind and the environment, good implementation principles and methodology: "Keeping cool/calm is to cope with multi-unexpected changes".Keeping cool/calm is loyalty to the goal of happiness and well-being for people, but the measures are "multi-unexpected changes" due to depending on their chance and always towards the basic and long term goal.

ДЗЕН БУДДИЗМ ВО ВЬЕТНАМЕ В УСЛОВИЯХ СОВРЕМЕННОЙ МЕЖДУНАРОДНОЙ ИНТЕГРАЦИИ
Ле НгокЧонг
Национальный экономический университет, Ханой, Вьетнам e-mail: thongleh@yahoo.com
Буддийская медитация во Вьетнаме в настоящее время, является одним из тех благ, которые государство вкладывает в развитие человечества, благодаря международной интеграции. Автор дает определение медитации как выбора и фокусировкиразума на объекте, способности устранять лишнее. И, исходя, из этого, поток человеческого отражения является объектом медитации. В практике медитации существует много способов, но все они сводятся к единой схеме: мозг концентрируется на объекте и создает внутренние силы и затем ингибирует и заставляет другие части коры головного мозга отдыхать. Таким образом, происходит избегание явления рассеянности. Используя сочетания научных методов: метод анализа документов, историко-логический метод, в сочетании с аналитико-синтезирующим методом, в статье отражена фундаментальная концепция человечества вьетнамского дзен-буддизма (самодостаточность, креативность и т.д.).
Автор приводит историческую справку дзен-буддизма во Вьетнаме. Дзен-буддизм появился во Вьетнаме около 580 г. н. э., когда выходец из Южной Индии Винитаручи, ученик китайского Третьего патриарха Сэнцаня, основал первую вьетнамскую школу дзэн, которая была названа его именем - Ти-Ни-Да-Лу-Чи. Всего во Вьетнаме существовало пять школ (толков) дзэн: Ти-Ни-Да-Лу-Чи, Во Нгон Тхонг, Тхао Дыонг, Чук Лам и Ламте.
Дзен-Буддизм во Вьетнаме имеет свои уникальные особенности: он способствует развитию трех важных для человека качеств: уверенности в себе, смелости и старательности. Дзен-Буддизм ассоциируется с процветанием народа, потому что процветание нации - это процветание Дзен- буддизма, так как он в свою очередь придает особое значение уверенности в себе и самостоятельности. Дзен-Буддизм реалистичен, он выступает за интеллектуальное развитие, указывая на истинную ценность человека - его разум.
Статья посвящена принципам дзен - вне доктрин, не написанных, а направляющих разум, напрямую к Будде. Это особое учение без священных текстов, без авторитета слов и письменных знаков. Это передача с помощью прямого указания на реальность - особым образом от сердца к сердцу. Это необходимость пробуждения через осознание своей истинной природы.
Идеология Дзен-буддизма положительно влияет на жизненный вектор человека и общества в целом. Идеи дзен-буддизма исходят из особенностей личности, его Я и тех обстоятельств, при которых уместна та или иная деятельность. Следующая - идея осознанности, связанная с правильным осознание себя, своего разума; идея самодостаточности является результатом вышеуказанных идей; и главная идея Дзен-буддизма - гармония с миром.
Вьетнамский буддизм, переживший тысячелетнюю историю, все также гуманен, реалистично воспринимает доброту и красоту для воспитания поколений. Ценность Буддизма способствует развитию ценностей вьетнамского народа. История Вьетнама признала вьетнамский буддизм достойным в деле защиты и строительства государства.
Ключевые слова: буддизм, культурный, идеологии, международная интеграция, самодостаточность, дзен.
