For forty-nine years , the Buddha of the world journeyed barefoot along the shores of the Ganges .
He les us in the learning of the way to liberation , guiding us through the darkness like a path of light .
The Buddha was born a prince of the sakya clan , and was named siddhartha. at birth sage predicted that he would grow up to become a great holy king who would unify the world . as the future ruler of the sakya clan , price siddhartha lived a luxurious life comfort and pleasure in the palace. How,ever
in search of the great way of Liberation, to save all sentient beings from the cycle of birth and death;
siddhartha left the palace on a white horse .He came to a forest at the foot of the snowy mountains; and there , he practiced asceticism . For six long years siddhartha endured every form of ascetic practices ,untill he finally realized that the middle path was the answer. Cultivation is like playing a musical string instrument . The string will snap if it is too tight or not make any sound if it is too lose.
Indulgence in sensual pleasure or extreme penance are attachments .Be at peace with middle path of achieving the liberation of Body and Mind . siddhartha sat in cultivation beneath the Bodhi Tree .
Alone , he confronted the tortuous assailments from Mara's evil Hordes . Young Monk , how can you prove that you have becamw a Buddha ? The earth is my witness. At that instant , siddhartha was in complete tranquility and perfect emptiness .He was enlightened and he became the Buddha .Strange indeed! All sentient beings exist with a Buddha nature . But it is Suppressed by vexation and delusion. I wish to be humble . I am not enslaved by fame and wealth. I have came to spread the Dharma, to free all sentient beings from the sea of Samsara .your majestly , as a king you should love your people as your own children .A king should not oppress the people .
life should be valued equally , as nothing is more honourable then life itself . What ever the hierarchy , every person has an inner self that can shine forth.
Niti said to Buddha , please let go of me ......I am dirty......,
Buddha said to Niti, we should not look down upon ourselves ,One does not become distinguished by one's birth but by one's behavior . You clear the Dirt from people's homes I clear the Dirt from peoples's hearts. Hence , you and I are the Same .Please rise .....
Buddha said to Rahula , is the water in this basin drinkable ?
Rahula said to Of course not!
Buddha said to Rahula , you are just like the water in this basin, essentially clean ,but as you persistently tell lies , you became tainted ; no one will cherish you .
Buddha said to Aniruddha , let me do the sewing for you....
Neither the disciples nor the sentient beings have I ever considered as mine.
I am but just a member of the Sangha .
at that time there was a ruler ,Attacked, Kapilavastol '
World honour one , why do you sit under a withered tree, exposed to the sun ?
please go into the shade .
Buddha said , The shelter of your own clan is far better Shade than that of any tree , your majestry , Can you not feel it ?
Since Enlightenment , I 've Shown you the Noble Eightfold path:
"Right Understanding, Right thought , Right speech , Right action.Right livelihood , Rght effort ,
Right mindfulness and right concentration" . I was never Wearled of teaching the dharma .
The Buddha was born in a Palace .while still in his youth he became a monk.At the age of eighty , between a pair of Sala trees, The Buddha entered Nirvana.
I have delivered all the sentient beigns I could ;and I have planted the seeds of deliverance for those who have yet to be delivered .
Let the Precepts be your teacher ,and my teachings as your guide ,and I will be with you forever
