Gautama Becoming Buddha

It was not an easy journey that Siddhartha became Buddha. He was a prince and was raised with great affection since childhood. His palaces were equipped with all the facilities, the majestic luxuries and amenities were full of all the opulence's. A beautiful wife and a son. Was it easy to leave all this in the middle of the night and run away like cowards.

His mind was not stable, he wanted to know the complete truth,

About two and a half thousand years ago, Gautam left the house in the middle of the night. He got bored with the melody, fun and entertainment of the palace, the love of his wife and the love of a newborn child could not bind him in the boundaries of palace and luxury. It is said that first he saw a patient, from whom he felt pain, then an old man, who felt the old age of a beautiful body, first experienced a young and then a dead body, seeing the life of life. Mortality bewildered him. A flood of questions arose in my mind.

His questions made him restless, and his inner pain started increasing. It was difficult for him to enjoy the royal comforts. He renounced everything and became a monk in search of answers to his questions. He kept wandering in many places but did not get the complete truth. One day, while crossing the river, he was having great difficulty, he felt that he would not be able to walk, then he took the support of a flowing branch and stood for the same hours only then he realized that what he was looking for was inside him.

ry situation. When all opposition is over, coolness comes in the mind, a state of complete acceptance is created within oneself. He realized that I am looking for answers to questions in the false world and the answer lies within me.

And that, O Supreme Consciousness, when we enter our inner world by encompassing ourselves from the outer expansion, then we attain supreme bliss, when we are free from external attachment, hatred, jealousy, then our inner journey begins.

And from there the Buddha was born. It is not so easy to become a Buddha, when we can come out of the external confusion and false world, then only we will be able to find the truth. What is truth? To identify oneself with oneself. And Siddhartha had known this, after attaining the ultimate truth, he was always absorbed in silence and supreme bliss and from this his journey to become Buddha began. These are the three basic mantras of Bodh Dharma.

 Buddham Saranam Gacchami: I take refuge in the Buddha.

 Dhammam Saranam Gacchami: I take refuge in Dharma.

 Sangham Saranam Gacchami: I take refuge in the Sangha.

 In Bodh Dharma it is said ( 1 is sorrow ) 2 ( cause of sorrow ) 3 ( it can be removed )

 In the end (becoming a Buddha is not easy)

 You have to face many struggles, when you can overcome false, polluted things, then you can become a Buddha)
