BUDDHA.

On the full moon in May in 623 BCE, a prince of the tribe  Shakyamuni  (1) of India, named  Siddhartha  (Siddhata) they  Gautama  (Gotama) was born in a region in Nepal (2), who is considered  as  the master of  the  greatest religion in  the world . Be  nurtured  in the scene  of luxury  and  absorb  a background  of education  worthy of a prince, like  everyone ,  the Prince  was  married  and had a child. 

Nature  contemplative and  compassionate  bi  immense  of  the Prince , did not  allow  the prince  to enjoy the pleasures of  material  temporarily  at the Palace  Royal. The prince  did not know how to be sad, but he  felt  a  deep pity  for  human suffering . Although living in  wealthy honor , but  the prince  was  conscious  are  universalization  of suffering. The palace with all the pleasures of the world is  no longer a suitable place   for the compassionate prince  to  live. Time convenience came to Prince  ordained . Awareness is the vanity  (vanity) of the pleasures pleasures, in 29 years, Prince  renounce  all sensual  earth, to fill up his piece of yellow robes casual ascetic , alone , Not a co-pocket, wandering there to find the Truth  and Bliss . Time convenience came to Prince ordained . Awareness is the vanity (vanity) of the pleasures pleasures, in 29 years, Prince renounce all sensualearth, to fill up his piece of yellow robes casual ascetic , alone , Not a co-pocket, wandering there to find the Truth and Bliss . Time convenience came to  Princeordained . Awareness is the  vanity (vanity) of the pleasures pleasures, in 29 years,  Prince renounce all  sensual earth, to fill up his piece of yellow robes casual  ascetic ,  alone , Not a co-pocket, wandering there to  find the Truth and  Bliss . 

It was an  abandoned  historic  unprecedented , because  the Prince  was a monk at the age not old, but are the youth; Not in  poverty  but in  wealth . As  in ancient times it was  believed  that no  liberation  that  can reach  to,  unless people  live  a life lived  very  austere,  Prince  has also  applied  continuously  all  forms of  practice extreme  asceticism .   

The  prince's  body was thin with only one skeleton. Prince  increasingly  tortured body how much the  goal  ( liberation ) as far away from him much. The  ascetic toil and not the result but  the prince  practiced  constantly  have  proved  completely useless . Prince  is now  perceived  to be  full  through the  experience  myself , about the  futility  of action  mortification ,  

Due to  the benefits  (get) from the  experience  invaluable  is his,  the Prince  finally has  decided to  follow  the path  independently , avoid both  extremes  of too  sensual  and too  mortification . Things before doing maintenance slow the  progressive  spirit  and then diminishes  wisdom  of  practitioners . Road  new he himself  found  the  Middle Way  that would later  become  one of the  properties featured  in  the teachings  of God. 

One morning  peacefully , while He was  focused  meditation , without the help and  guidance  of any supernatural power; only  just  rely on the  efforts  and  wisdom  of himself, he has  eradicated  all  defilements ,  body and mind  pure ,  observing everything exactly  like the real thing , and  evangelism  Enlightenment  ( the Buddha), at the ripe age of 35 . At the time of his birth, he was not a Buddha, but he became  a Buddha  due  to his own  cultivation effort  .   

After 45 years of the  successful  teaching ,  the Buddha , like all  people , not  against by the law  of impermanence  cruel, and  finally  (before)  death  in the year 80, exhorting  followers  beware bring  the teachings  of him as his teacher. 

The Buddha  is a man like  us , He was born a man, lived as a man, and left the world as a person. Although  human , He has  become  a  supernatural figure , but He never claimed to be  divine . Buddha  has  stressed  on this important point, and did not save anything to anyone who may mistakenly think that he is a  spirit  immortal. Fortunately, there  is no  deification  in  the case  of  the Buddha . However ,  

Buddha  is not the  incarnation  of the god Vishnu (3) of  Hinduism , as some people  believe , he is not who is  the Savior  that (may) arbitrarily salvation of others by  liberation  Of  his  individuality. Buddha  admonished the  disciples of Him to rely on themselves to find  liberation , because both the  purity  or  defilement  ( negativity ) are  depending  on yourself. To make clear  the relationship between him and the  disciples  as well as  to emphasize  the things  critical  of the virtues of confidence and  effort  personally ,  Buddha  taught a way clearly  is: "You should themselves trywhile the Tathagata  (Tathagatas) just teachers ". Buddha  specified path  and for us to arbitrarily take the  path  that to reach the purification  ( liberation ). Buddha taught a way clearly is: "You yourself should try , even the Tathagata (Tathagatas) just teachers". Buddha specified path and for us to arbitrarily take the path that to reach the purification ( liberation ). Buddha taught a way  clearly is: "You yourself should  try, even the  Tathagata (Tathagatas) just teachers". Buddha specified  path and for  usto arbitrarily  take the path that to reach the  purification ( liberation ).

"Fell in others to find  liberation  is  negative , but  rely on  yourself for being positive." Reliance  on others means  surrender  before  the efforts of ourselves . 

In exhorting the  disciples  of Him should know  self ,  the Buddha  says in the  parinirvanathese  (Parinibbana Sutta) as follows: "Do the island for yourselves, or shaking his place  of refuge  for yourselves, Do not seek refuge in anyone else. " These words describe  the meaning  of this is a highly  human . That shows self  trying to  succeed  purpose  of his  essential  how, as well as superficial and  uselesslike when ( we ) find  liberation  through the savior had  compassion ;   

Moreover,  the Buddha  did not win  exclusive  Enlightenment  (Buddhahood), but really, that is not the  prerogative  of any character  in particular  yet. He had reached the  fruition highest possible state of  perfection  that anyone can  desire , and no mind  selfishness  of a master, he showed  the path  religion foot  main leads ( We ) to the destination. According to  the teachings  of  the Buddha , anyone can aspire to that  fruition  the exalted  of the  perfection  that, if they perform  an  incident  to  necessity . Buddha  does not condemn  people  by viewing them as those who  sin evil ; On the  contrary , He gave them joy, teaching that  their minds  are  pure. According to the concept  of  the Buddha , the world  ( man ) is not  cruel , but  the world  had been  misled  by  ignorance . Instead of discouraging  his  disciples, 

And advise them to imitate Him, for  Enlightenment is  latent  in  everyone . In other words, all  beings  have the ability to  become Buddhas .

 Persons who  wish  to become  Buddha called the  Bodhisattva  (Bodhisatta) which  literally , the  beings  were  enlightened . Bodhisattva ideal  is the process of a life of noble and  pure  least that it was dedicated to  the world  of selfishness  , the  representative  for that  super Vietnam than life  to benefit others  and  purity . 

From one  man  he has  become a Buddha  and  preach  to the  world  about the potential for  phenomenal  with all  the talent  creativity  of  human beings . Instead of putting on a  human one  God  almighty  invisible autocrat who is  controlling  the fate of  mankind  and the protection they should subservient  timid  before  theocratic supremacy , Buddha  has  enhanced the dignity of  humankind  The  Buddha  taught that  man  can  succeed  liberation  and  purification  by  effort  ( practice ) their own without  relying on  a god  Spirit  outside as well as , Without the help of the  monks . It was  the Buddha  who preached to  the  selfish world  ( us ) the   supreme ideal of  salvation .     

Buddha  declared  that the door to  success  and prosperity were open to all  people in all  circumstances  of life, though high and low,  Virtue  or  sins , if they  determined to  improve  lifestyle and aspire To  perfection .

No  class distinctions , color or position,  the Buddha  has  established  for both men and women a  Church  democracy  include those who have no  family  ( renunciation). Buddha  did not conscript  believers  to do  slave  in  the teachings  of Him or for Himself, that  Buddha  has  given  them the right to  freedom  of thought  altogether . 

With  words  of comfort ,  the Buddha  advised the  family  have lost, his patient care was  abandoned . He helped the poor who did not look. He  enhanced  the lives  of the deluded or transforming  lives  guilt  of the offender. He encourages  weakness , do  reunite  guys separation,  chemical education  for  ignorance ,  enlighten  those  deluded , ignorant guide,  support  people  vile , and rising noble dignity. 

Both the rich and the poor, the  Virtue  and  sin  are all His beloved. The king's  dictatorship  as well as  justice , princes and  nobles  fame  and  anonymous , the million  endowed boasts  half as well as stingy, the  scholar  haughty  nor humble, beggars misery and class  RAMMER  be  oppressive , violent killers and girls  Gypsy despised - all are entitled to  benefits  through the teachings full of  wisdom  and  compassion  of God. 

Noble example of  the Buddha  is the source of inspiration to all  people . Expression  calm  and  compassionate  His was a  scene  of peace  to advance the look of  the glass . Picture  message  of Peace and  Compassion  of  the Buddha  were  all received with much  rejoicing  boundless  and is a source of  beneficial  free school for those who had the fortune to hear and  practice  according to the  teachings there. 

Wherever the  teachings  of His being  instilled , it saved an  influence  long in the  mentality  of each nation. The development of  the culture  of every  country Buddhism  were mainly due to  the doctrine  sublime  Buddha . Indeed, all  Buddhist countries  like  Ceylon , Burma, Thailand, Cambodia,  Vietnam , Laos, Nepal,  Tibet , China,  Mongolia ,  Korea ,  Japan,  etc. Are  grown  on the foundation of  Buddhism . 

His iron ,  intellectual  sublime,  love  immense ,  kindness and  compassion infinite, relief  selfless , act  monastic  history , is  completely  pure  and attraction of the personality, the  method of  directing Lord  which He  applied  to  spread the teachings , and the  successful  ultimatum of him - all the  factors  that has led to a fifth of  humanity  of the  world today worship Buddha as  cardinals  super Vietnam  's most they. 

To show their  reverence  sincere  to  Buddha , Sri Sri Radhakrishnan (4) says: "Where  the Buddha  Gautama  (Gautama)  we  find  a master  intellect  of the  Orient, he is not behind any human Anything that  affects  the  thought  and  life  of  mankind . People  are  revered , respected him as're  founding a  religion  traditional , no less  profound  magical  than any  religion  other.    

In the book "The Three Greatest Men in History," the  scholar  HG Wells (5)  notes the following: "In  the Buddha , you see  clearly that  He is a character. simple,  sincere ,  his  self  striving for light - a vivid human personality, not a  myth . He handed down to  humanity  a picture  message  full of nature how  popular . Many  thought  modern most noble of  us  are  fit  close to the  doctrine  that. The Buddha  taught that all the sufferings  and afflictions are caused by heart  selfish  cause. Humans  before you can  become pure , it must  terminate  life in the  senses  or to separate yourself. Then he  became a  great man . Buddha , many  languages  are different, 500 years before Christ Jesus, who taught  human  virtues  altruistic . In some  respects ,  the Buddha  closer to  us  and  meet  the needs of  us .      

St. Hilaire  noted : "The Buddha  preached  the  exemplary  perfection of all things  moral ... and  lifetime  His life has not a  stain  yet." And Fausboll  praised  him as follows: "The more I  know  Him, the more I love Him." 

A   humble  follower of  the Buddha  will say, "The more I  know  Him, the more I  love Him. The more I  love  Him, the more I  know  Him.
