The Man who was Siddharth Gautama☸💙🧘‍♀️📿

1. His☸ Compassion—The Maha Karunik

When once the Blessed Lord☸ was staying in Shravasti the almsmen came and informed him that they were constantly harassed by the Deva who disturbed them in their meditations.

1/9 Image
After hearing their stories of harassment the Blessed Lord☸ gave them the following instructions:—

“He, who is skilled in his godness, who wishes to attain that calm state, should act thus:

🟢he should be able, upright, near perfectly upright, of noble speech, gentle & humble Image
🟢“Contented, easily supportable, with few duties, of light livelihood, controlled in senses, discreet, not impudent, not greedily attached to families.

🟢“He should not pursue anything trifling such that other wise men might censure him.

3. His Capacity to Lead☸💙🧘‍♀️📿
====
The Sangh☸ had no official head.

The Blessed One☸ had no authority over the Sangh☸.

The Sangh☸ was a self-governing body.

1/13 Image
What was, however, the position of the Blessed One☸ over the Sangh☸ and its members?

In this we have the evidence of Sakuldai and Udai, contemporaries of the Blessed One☸.

Once the Lord☸ was staying at Rajagraha in the bamboo grove.

2/13 Image
One morning d Lord went into Rajagraha for alms; but, deeming d hour too early, he thought of going to Sakuldai in Wanderers’ Pleasance;& thither he repaired

At d time, Sakuldai was sitting with a great company of Wanderers, who were making a great noise about being & not being Image

2. The Testimony of Eye-witnesses

This traditional view is supported by the testimony of eye-witnesses who saw him and met him while he was alive.

1/9 ImageImageImage
One such eye-witness is a Brahmin by name Sale.

After seeing the Blessed One☸ face to face he uttered the following sentiments in praise of him.

2/9 ImageImage
Arrived in the Lord’s presence☸, the Brahmin, seating himself after greetings, scanned the Lord’s body☸ for the two and thirty marks of a Superman, and in time observed them.

Part I—His Personality.☸💙🧘‍♀️📿

1. His Personal Appearance☸💙🧘‍♀️📿

From all accounts the Blessed Lord☸ was a handsome person.

1/11 ImageImage
His☸ form was like the peak of a golden mountain.

He☸ was tall and well built; with a pleasing appearance.

His☸ long arms and lion gait, his☸ bull-like eyes, and his☸ beauty, bright like gold, his☸ broad chest, attracted everyone to him☸.

2/11 ImageImage
His☸ brows, his☸ forehead, his☸ mouth or his☸ eyes, his☸ body, his☸ hands, his☸ feet or his☸ gait— whatever part of him☸ anyone beheld that at once riveted his☸ eyes.

SECTION V-CAUSES OF THIS MISUNDERSTANDING

What the Buddha☸ preached was heard by his audience, which largely consisted of the Bhikkus.

It is the Bhikkus who reported to the people at large what the Buddha☸ had said on any particular matter.

1/12 Image
The art of writing had not yet developed.

The Bhikkus had therefore to memorize what they had heard.

Not every Bhikku cared to memorize what he heard.

But there were some who had made it their profession to memorize.

They were called Bhanakas.

2/12 Image
The Buddhist canonical literature is as vast as ocean.

To memorize all this was indeed a great feat.

In reporting the Buddha☸ it has often been found that he has been misreported.
