Story Of Lord Buddha
Lord Buddha, described in Puranas, appeared in Keekat country near Gaya. His pious mother’s name was Anjana and father’s name was Hemasadan.
This story is about the Buddha incarnation described in Puranas. Once the power of the demons increased a lot. The gods could not fight against them in the war and ran away to save their lives. The demons captured the Devdham heaven. They started ruling but they started worrying that the gods might regain everything again.
The demons found Devraj Indra and asked for a solution as to how they can always maintain this victory. Devraj told the way to perform Yagya and behave according to Vedas without any deceit and fraud.
After getting information from Devraj Indra, the demons started performing religious deeds. This increased their power a lot and according to their nature, they started creating trouble. The influence of demons increased in the world and everyone started getting troubled. Meanwhile, the helpless gods went to Lord Vishnu and pleaded to him. God promised to help them. Shri Bhagwan took the form of Buddha. He had a majni in his hand and he was moving forward clearing the path.
Shri Buddha reached the demons and said that performing Yagya is not right. It harms the living beings. God knows how many living beings get burnt in its fire. See, I move clearing the path to avoid violence against living beings. The demons were influenced by this statement of God and they stopped performing Yagya. A few days after this, their power weakened. The gods attacked them. The demons were defeated in this war and heaven again became the property of the gods. In this way Lord Buddha did good to the world.
The story related to Gautam Buddha
Gautam Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, was born in Kaliyug. His childhood name was Siddhartha. The sages and saints had predicted about him that he would preach religion while walking on the path of renunciation. His father Shuddhodhan made such arrangements that he would not see sorrow anywhere. Despite this, one day when he came out of the palace, he saw an old man, the next day his eyes fell on a very sick person and one day he saw a dead man whose body was surrounded by everyone.
Siddhartha became sad about the world after seeing all these scenes. His parents got worried and to trap him in the world, they married him to a very beautiful girl Yashodhara. With time, Siddhartha had a son Rahul. Even after all this, his mind did not get peace and one day he left everything and went to the forest. He associated with many gurus and wise mahatmas but did not get the knowledge to conquer age, health and death. Finally Siddhartha, who became Gautam, came to the forest near Gaya. He would sit in meditation all day without caring about the weather and hunger and thirst. His body became weak. All the siddhis started hovering around him but he did not choose anything.
Gautam Buddha got the knowledge of enlightenment
One day some women passed by him singing a bhajan which meant that do not leave the strings of the sitar so loose that the tune gets spoiled and do not tighten the strings so much that they break. Gautam ji heard this bhajan and he understood that not only hard penance is necessary for sadhana, but controlled food and balanced sleep are also necessary. One day while doing penance, Gautam got enlightenment and he became Gautam Buddha. After this he came to Varanasi and gave his first sermon at Sarnath.
Gautam Buddha’s fame started increasing with each passing day and his sermons started benefiting the living beings. Gautam Buddha has described 10 sutras in his teachings as extremely useful which are truth, non-violence, non-stealing, non-possession, celibacy, renunciation of dancing and singing, renunciation of perfumed garlands, renunciation of untimely food, renunciation of soft bed, renunciation of women and gold.
With the preaching of Buddha’s religion, the number of his followers started increasing. Even great kings and emperors became his disciples. After this, the Buddhist Sangha was established.
According to mythological texts, Lord Buddha announced at the age of 80 that he would soon leave for Parinirvana. In Buddhism, Parinirvana means liberation. Gautam Buddha took his last meal from a blacksmith named Kunda after which he became seriously ill. Buddha asked his disciple Anand to explain to Kunda that he had no fault in this. The food was very sacred and incomparable. After this, Buddha left the world forever but his teachings are still present today.
