4.) “Those
who attempt to conquer hatred by hatred are like warriors who take weapons to
overcome others who bear arms. This does not end hatred, but gives it room to
grow. But, ancient wisdom has advocated a different timeless strategy to overcome
hatred. This eternal wisdom is to meet hatred with non-hatred. The method of
trying to conquer hatred through hatred never succeeds in overcominghatred. But, the method of overcoming hatred through non-hatred is
eternally effective. That is why that method is described as eternal wisdom.
” – The Buddha

Biography of
Lord Buddha
Siddhartha, who later became known as the
Buddha – or The Enlightened One – was a prince who forsook the comforts of a
palace to seek enlightenment. He realised the essential unreality of the world
and experienced the bliss of Nirvana. After his enlightenment, he spent the remainder
of his life teaching others how to escape the endless cycle of birth and death.
Daibutsu
Buddha Kamakura, Japan
Buddha was born approximately 400 BCE in
the district of Lumbini, which is now modern-day Nepal, close to the Indian
border. He was brought up in a palace with all the comforts and luxuries
possible. Growing up a young noble prince, it is said his father sought to
shield the young prince Siddhartha from the pain and suffering of the world. It
is said his father had a premonition that Siddhartha would one day renounce the
world.
However, at one point in his early adult
life, Siddhartha sought to find a greater meaning to life. In disguise, he left
the palace and wandered around the kingdom. Here, Siddhartha came across
different people suffering from old age and illness and witnessed death. This
showed him the transitory nature of life, which had a great impact on him. As a
consequence, Siddhartha resolved to seek a deeper meaning of life.
Secretly, Siddhartha left the palace –
leaving behind his wife, son and all the worldly comforts that he had enjoyed.
He devoted himself to meditation, seeking enlightenment amongst the ascetics of
the forest.
In his intense quest for enlightenment,
Siddhartha fasted excessively so his body wasted away; however, despite his
great efforts enlightenment still remained a far cry. At one point, a passing
woman gave him some food to eat and Siddhartha realised it was a mistake to
seek enlightenment by torturing the body. He regained his strength and resolved
to follow a ‘middle path’, avoiding excesses of both fasting and feasting.
On one day, Siddhartha resolved to sit
under a Bodhi tree until he attained enlightenment. For several days, he sat in
meditation seeking Nirvana. He was tested by various forces which tried to
prevent him realising the goal.
However, Siddhartha was successful and
entered into the blissful consciousness of Nirvana for several days. On
returning to normal consciousness, Siddhartha the Buddha (Buddha means
‘enlightened one’) made the decision to spend the remainder of his life
teaching others how to escape the inherent suffering of life.
For many years, Buddha travelled around
India, especially around the Ganges plain and in Nepal, teaching his philosophy
of liberation. His teachings were transmitted orally and not written down until
many years after his death.
Many stories relate to the life of the
Buddha in this teaching phase. His essential teachings were of love, compassion
and tolerance. The Buddha taught that a seeker must have compassion for all
living beings and this was the most important teaching. Although the Buddha
disliked formal rules, a monastic following sprung up for those interested in
following his path. He advocated strict celibacy for those wishing to follow
his monastic path.
The Buddha would often give talks on
enlightenment, but on one occasion, he simply held up a flower and maintained
silence. Many left not understanding the point, but when later questioned, the
Buddha replied that his real teaching could only be understood in silence.
Talks could only give limited intellectual information which was not real
enlightenment.
The Buddha sought to avoid deep philosophy,
he avoided using the term God, preferring to talk about the practical way that
a person may escape the cycle of birth and rebirth and attain enlightenment.
Like many spiritual teachers, he often taught in parables to keep his teachings
simple and practical.
The Buddha attracted hostility from those
jealous of his popularity and spiritual development. One of his own monks
Devadatta later became jealous of the Buddha and sought to split the community.
He even tried on three occasions to kill the Buddha, but on each occasion, he
failed.
The Buddha passed away after many years of
teaching and travelling throughout India. On his deathbed, he told Ananda (his
dearest disciple) that he should now rely on his teachings and own ethical
conduct to be the guide of his life.
“For centuries the light of the Buddha
has shone as a beacon beckoning men from across the sea of darkness. Like lost
children, millions of seekers have reached out to the light with their heart’s
inmost cry, and the Buddha has shown them the Way. The world stood before the
Buddha with its ignorance, and the Buddha, the Enlightened One, gave man Truth.
The world offered its age-old suffering to the Buddha’s heart and the Buddha,
Lord of Compassion, showed man the Dharma.”

Dhammapada.

“If they are neither traceable in the Discourses nor verifiable by
the Discipline, one must conclude thus: ‘Certainly, this is not the Blessed
One’s utterance’“ The Buddha
Without approval and
without scorn, but carefully studying the sentences word by word, one should
trace them in the Discourses and verify them by the Discipline. If they are
neither traceable in the Discourses nor verifiable by the Discipline, one must
conclude thus: ‘Certainly, this is not the Blessed One’s utterance; this has
been misunderstood by that bhikkhu — or by that community, or by those elders,
or by that elder.’ In that way, bhikkhus, you should reject it.
