Lord Buddha History Free And Uncomfortable
One of the four real scenes the prince witnessed, the fourth scene was not only a contemplative subject for him, but it also created the inspiration for him later on to become a homeless monastic, living without family and being not tied by family and children.Leaving his royal family for religious life at the age of 29, learning ancient religion from two ascetics, Ālāra Kalāma and Uddaka Rāmaputta, spending six years practicing asceticism with his five brothers of Kondañña, hermit Siddhārtha saw that their extremist and ascetic practices hindered their enlightenment attainment. Getting out of the gate, going to the East, the prince and Channa met an old person going to the West, they met a sick person, going to the South, they saw a dead person and going to the North, they met a mendicant. When he reached at the age of 16, he married princess Yasodharā and had an only son named Rāhula.Living in the lap of luxury, wealth and happiness, but the prince who still felt unfree and uncomfortable, along with his intimate named Channa, made a trip out of the four gates of the royal palace to visit the real world outside. His stepmother, who was Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī looked after him.
Thanks to such diligent practice, he obtained and dwelled in the first Meditation ( Jhāna), the second Meditation, the third Meditation, the fourth Meditation, Concentration on the abode of infinite space ( Akasanantya Y atana), Concentration on the abode of infinite consciousness ( Vijnanantya Y atana), Concentration on the abode where nothing exists at all ( Akincanna Y atana), Concentration on neither perception nor non-perception ( N’evasanna N asanna Y atana), and the Cessation of the Annihilation of Concentration ( Nirodha S amapatti). Practicing meditation from low to high degrees, he contemplated and followed in-and-out breathing regularly, mindfully, and consciously. After eating a milky porridge bowl made offerings by a young lady named Sujata, receiving a bunch of auspicious grasses ( Kusa) from a farmer, going to Bodhgaya, Bodhisattva Siddhārtha resolutely meditated under the Bodhi and the surrounding areas for 49 days and nights until he attained perfect realization.
Living in the Sangha without individual families, they who had much time to cultivate and serve human beings relied on the love of teacher and students, that of Dharma friends, fellow practitioners, the love of Dharma protection and Dharma propagation to benefit living things and living beings all over the planet.Next, the wealthy families include Mr. Thus, the Buddha Jewel, the Dharma Jewel, and the Sangha Jewel were officially formed there.The Buddha and his monastic disciple , who mainly depended on meditation – concentration, and on patrons’ alms-giving to nurture their minds and bodies, relished dwelling in the natural environment, and achieved self-attainment, joy and happiness all by themselves to instruct other people. With the pure Dharma Eye, after listening to the Four Noble Truths from the Buddha’s teaching, these five people were penetrated into the wonderful Dharma of the World-Honored One and attained Arhanta. Going to the Deer Park ( Migadava) in Sarnath, the Buddha gave his first Sermon ( Dhamma Cakka Pavattana Sutta) to five fellow friends in previous asceticism. In the end, the Buddha accepted the invitations of Brahma, and turned to two former masters to spread the Dharma, but both of them died. Finally, Bodhisattva became the Buddha called Sakyamuni in Bodhigaya at the age of 35.After the Bodhisattva became a Buddha, a Divine King of gods named Brahma Sahampati invited the Buddha three times to propagate the dharma and teach sentient beings.
His Dharma and Sangha have the capability to accept people coming from different castes, religions, skin colors, races, etc. Proclaim your holy and peaceful lives to the many on this earth.” (See Mahāvagga 19 – 20).Afterward, the Buddha taught very many different kinds of people, in all walks of society, such as kings, mandarins, merchants, servants, even cow feces pickers, murderers, and courtesans. The Tathāgata’s teachings are perfect in the beginning, perfect in the middle, perfect in the end, both in the meanings and in the letters. Out of peace and happiness for devas and human beings, spread the Dharma to all beings. Among them, the most virtuous, talented, and famous disciples of the Buddha listed below are:The honored Elder Sāriputta – the Head of the Dharma with supreme wisdom,The honored Elder Moggallana – the Monk with supreme piety and psychic power,The honored Elder Maha Kassapa – the exemplary Patriarch with the ability to teach and lead the Sangha, and practice ascetic cultivation supremely,The honored Elder Subhuti – the Contemplator of supreme emptiness ( Suññatā),The honored Elder Purana – the brilliant Preacher of preaching the Dharma attractively,The honored Elder Kaccayana – the brilliant Commentator of interpreting the Dharma fluently,The honored Elder Anurudha – The Monk with unobstructed vision, that is, supremely Clairvoyant vision,The honored Elder Upali – the leading exemplary Lawyer of repeating Vinaya Pitaka or Discipline observance supremely,The honored Elder Ananda – the Monk who has the ability to much hear, acquire, to remember the Buddhadharma in detail repeats the Sutta Pitaka, is also the wholehearted, thoughtful, faithful, and skillful attendant with good countenance supremely,The honored Elder Rahula – the Monk with the patience, deep listening, transformation, and practice of the First solemn and fine bodily action.The honored female Elder Mahàpajàpati Gotami – the exemplary Patriarch with the ability to collect and lead the Bhikkhuni Sangha, and practice ascetic cultivation supremely,A rich Lady Visakha – A benefactor of kind heart giving alms, making offerings, and protecting the Buddhadharma supremely.A rich Gentleman Anathapindika – A benefactor of kind heart giving alms, making offerings, and protecting the Buddhadharma supremely.After the Buddha’s passing away about over two hundreds years, King Ashoka – The holy Buddhist emperor with countless merit to spread Buddhism inside and outside India supremely.In Vietnam, after the Buddha’s passing away about over two hundred years, King Trần Nhân Tông, having left the royal life for monastic life, went up to Yên Tử mountain of Bắc Ninh province today, obtained fruition of enlightenment, applied and taught the Buddhadharma to the people living their lives of peace and happiness for a long time.When his monastic disciples became a large crowded, the Buddha encouraged and counseled: “Dear Bhikkhus and Bhikkhunis! Go forth to many different directions to propagate the Dharma and teach living beings, bring your own cultivation, joy and happiness to instruct other people.
These are my ultimate teachings for you.” (See Dìgha Nik āya – Mah āparinibbāna sutta Part II, 16). Make efforts to cultivate and practice the Buddhadharma more and more, to bring joy and happiness to yourselves and to others. Both of these congregations that support one another as an image and its shadow make the key factors bring Buddhism into life, and help life add joy and lessen suffering.Propagating the Dharma for 45 years, all that the Buddha has taught is like a handful of tree leaves in the palm of his hand, is to help people recognize suffering and transform it, and to help them live lives of peace and happiness right in the present world.Before entering Nirvana, the Buddha advised his disciples: “ O disciples! Everything is impermanent and changing.
