The Buddha’s life story, like all of Buddhism, is a story about suffering.
Buddha was born between the 6th and 4th centuries BC, the son of a rich king in Nepal near the Himalayas
He had predicted that the young Buddha – he called Siddhartha Gautama – either
To become the emperor of India or a very holy man.
His father wanted him to become king in any way,
So he isolated him in the palace.
Gautama lived a very luxurious life: served, jewelry and lotus flowers,
Even women are beautiful dancers.
For 29 years, Gautama lived in Naim, protected from the calamities of the outside world
But then, the palace left for short trips.
What he saw was amazing! First: met a sick man, then a man in old age, then a man dying.
He was deeply impressed when he learned that these people were on the order of the people
Which will undoubtedly affect him one day
Stunned by what he saw, Gautama made a fourth trip outside the palace and met
A man of religion, who had learned to seek spiritual life in the midst of great human suffering.
Affected by that man, Gautama left the palace forever.
Try to learn from other clergy.
Kada once starved to avoid all comforts and bodily pleasures, as they did.
Not surprisingly, this did not bring him consolation from suffering.
Then think of the moment when he was small sitting at the river, notice
That when the grass was cut, insects were their eggs
You trample and die.
He had a deep sympathy for small insects.
After contemplating his emotions
Gautama felt deep peace with himself and began to eat and contemplate, and finally arrived
Highest Enlightenment:
“Nirvana” Nirvana
And refers to “extrusion” of the fire of desire.
Thus, Gautama became the “enlightened” Buddha.
Buddha Tanorman through the gratitude that all creatures, from ants to humans,
Combined in suffering.
Through this knowledge, Buddha discovered how to deal with suffering.
First, one must not live with great luxury,
At the same time not to refrain from food and rest altogether.
But one has to live in moderation.
Buddha called this
In a moderate way
This allows one to focus on empathy and seek enlightenment
Later, Buddha described the way to overcome suffering and called it
The Four Noble Truths
The first noble truth, which paved the way for Buddha’s first journey:
That there is suffering and dissatisfaction in the world.
The second is that this suffering is caused by our desires.
As the Buddha said,
“Attachment is the origin of all suffering.”
The third truth is that we can overcome suffering by disposing or managing these desires.
Buddha said a wonderful saying that we have to change perspective, not our circumstances.
We are not happy because we do not have enough money or love or position but because we
Greedy and Fargon, and unsure of ourselves. By reorienting our minds, we can become complacent.
People become happier
With the right behavior and satisfaction, we can become
Better people. We can reverse negative emotions and mental states of ignorance
To wisdom and anger to sympathy, and greed to generosity.
The fourth and last noble truth discovered by the Buddha
Is that we can learn to overcome suffering through what he has called
The Eight Noble Way
The Eight Way includes a series of aspects of how to behave “correctly” and “wise”:
The right opinion, the good faith, the good speech, the right work, the right means of living, the good effort, the conscious vigilance,
And the right focus.
What draws the attention of the Westerners is that the concept of wisdom is usually, not just intellectual perception.
One must practice the noblest impulses regularly in his life, completely
As one of us trains his physical limbs. The moment of understanding is only one part of becoming a better person.
After his death, they gathered the followers of the Buddha (his sermons or words) “sutras”
In a book, the texts were developed to guide the two disciples in meditation, ethics,
And conscious life.
The monasteries that have evolved during Buddha’s life have grown and multiplied,
Throughout China and East Asia.
For some time, Buddhism was uncommon in India, practiced only by a few quiet groups
Of the yellow-haired monks and nuns roaming the countryside, contemplating quietly in nature.
But then, in the third century BC, the King of India Ashoka was fed up with the wars
Which he fought, he turned to Buddhism.
Monks and nuns were sent everywhere to spread the practice.
Buddhist spiritual tradition spread across Asia and eventually to all parts of the world.
Buddha followers were divided into two main parts:
Buddhism “Thrifism” colonized Southeast Asia, and
Buddhism “Mahayana” which dominated China and Northeast Asia.
Today, there are between five hundred and one and a half billion Buddhists in both East and West
Follow Buddha’s teachings, seek a more enlightened and sentimental state of mind.
Interestingly, Buddha’s teachings are important regardless of our spiritual identity.
Like the Buddha, we are all born in a landy world of the magnitude of the suffering in which it is
Unable to fully understand the calamities, the disease, and death
Which will also come to us.
The older we become, the more we are able to understand reality and this feeling overwhelms us with feelings
We may seek to avoid it altogether.
But Buddha’s teachings remind us of the importance of facing suffering directly.
We must do our best to liberate ourselves from the grip of our desires,
We recognize that suffering can be seen as part of communicating with others,
To encourage us to compassion and kindness to others.
