The Story of Buddha

Buddha originally refers to Siddhartha Gautama, and later evolved into a general term for one who has realized the truth. Buddhist terminology. Indian Sanskrit name Buddha, Pali name the same. Also known as floating head, did not pack, step his, used to cooperate with the Buddha, compound beans, pontoon, pontoon. Means that the person who is aware of, the enlightened one.

The founder of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha), was a member of the Sakya tribe in the ancient Central Indian state of Kaviravi, who existed in the middle of the first millennium BCE. At this time the prosperity of the commodity trade contributed to the rise of the Kshatriya class, the traditional Brahmanical authority which constituted a hindrance was weakened, and the intellectual world was alive with Shastric thinking, including Buddhism.

Siddhartha Gautama's father, King Jowan, was one of the chiefs of the Sakya clan; his mother was Lady Moya, who, desiring to return to her native city of Heavenly Arms to await the birth of her child, gave birth to the Buddha in the garden of Lumbini.

Relatively late compilers of Buddhist texts add drama to the story: Lady Moya dreamed of a white elephant entering her womb before she became pregnant; she gave birth to the Buddha standing up under the Carefree Tree in the Lumbini Garden; the Ahan Sutra states that the Buddha was born from the right side of Moya's body; and the scholar Abhidharma, who heard of the birth of the crown prince, went to the palace and predicted that the crown prince would be born as a Buddha, which he could not wait for, and was therefore saddened by his joys and sorrows.

Lady Moye died seven days after his birth, and he was raised by Bojapati, the continuing consort of King Jinyan (Mahayana Buddhism says this person was the Buddha's aunt; ? another says that he was raised by a wet nurse). At the age of seven, he began his academic training, which included the Vedic and Five Minds studies, as well as the arts of war and martial arts. At the age of sixteen, he married Yayatara, the daughter of the lord of the city of Sky Arm, as his consort (also said to have had three wives), and had a son named Rahula.

In one of the early classics, he describes himself as living a lavish life in his youth, with great pleasure and entertainment, and having palaces to live in on a rotating basis during the three seasons of warmth, coolness, and rain. This was the kind of luxury that the aristocracy of the time, whether warriors or merchants, took for granted. However, he became a monk because he was y troubled by the question of life and death.

He regained his strength by eating a normal diet and traveled to the city of Gaya, not far from his place of asceticism, where he soon became enlightened and became a "Buddha. At this time he was 35 (or 31) years old. According to the Theravada tradition, before attaining enlightenment, when he tried to subdue his mind, the "devas" that had besieged him for seven years "appeared". The "army of ten devas" are: lust; unhappiness with Brahman; hunger and thirst; greed;

laziness and lethargy; fear; doubt; destructive attachment; acquisition of flattery, honor, and false fame; and arrogance. The heavens were unable to defeat the "army of demons" and there was a practitioner who surrendered. He overcame them with his wisdom.

There are as many as fifteen ways to describe Shakyamuni's enlightenment in the Ahan Sutra. The more representative and influential ones are: enlightenment by the Four Noble Truths; enlightenment by the Twelve Causal Factors; enlightenment by the attainment of Samsara in the Four Ch'ans. The Four Noble Truths and the Twelve Causal Factors, which are fully systematized, may not be regarded as the original form of the internal view of Naruto; the "dharma" of Naruto's enlightenment, as well as the content of Sanming, are the doctrines of origination and extinction.

. Atheism; although the East is derived from the anti-Vedic trend, but rather in the extreme of mysticism and asceticism.

Shakyamuni takes the Middle Way as the path of liberation; he is compassionate without losing his robustness, thoughtful without being mystical, and indifferent without being austere. He takes the world as the origin of no self, sings against aggression and without criticism, and rejects the four castes and the way of equality; he honors good deeds in place of the omnipotence of sacrifices, and honors self-power in place of the power of gods and mantras. It is a complete renunciation of the six divisions of the outer world as well as of Brahman.

Transcending the discursive practice of truth: the six divisions and Brahmins are based on ontology, a young man had asked for advice about the nature of the world, the relationship between mind and body, and the survival of the afterlife and other fourteen questions (fourteen unrecorded). It was a philosophical proposition held by each of the Indian intellectual circles at the time, and they all claimed to be able to truly answer the nature of phenomena.

The Buddha believed that these questions could not be answered empirically, and that they were mental shackles that caused confusion and suffering; that these theories, based on imagination or discernment, were merely arbitrary dogmatism; and that differences of opinion gave rise to tit-for-tat conflicts. The Buddha shunned them and replaced them with practical practice; resolving them with transcendental introspection and a critical attitude.

Significance: Buddhism was established by Shakyamuni in response to the desire of mankind to **** and cultivate Indian culture. Buddhism contains the germ of many new cultures, and thus became the representative of the later Indian new thought.

The later six schools of philosophical thought, the religious system and the social order in the East in the rise of the shake; Buddhism spread over the Ganges River upstream, reached the Indus Valley; the Peacock Dynasty of the Ashoka era, Moghul center of the great empire to reach a very prosperous. Buddhism became the state religion of India and spread beyond its borders.
