Early life of Lord Buddha : Childhood – I have started to tell about His holiness Buddha’s early life in my post: Lord Buddha :Early Life – Childhood I’m going to add tell little more in this one. When Prince Siddhartha was only seven days old, his mother “Mahamaya devi” had passed away. Afterwards he had been raised by his mother’s younger sister “Prajapathi Gautami”, who also was already married to his father. In ancient India kings could have many wives. Prince Siddhanta’s father King Suddodana had also married the two daughters of a king of a nearby country. From a conversation, with his holiness Buddha and aged Prajapathi theri, It can be understood that even the prince has lost the warmth of his own mother, he had received so much love and warmth from every one else, specially from his aunt Prajapathi. Threshing Bullocks tied with yoke There is a story about a sowing feast, when the prince was an infant. First harvesting had been done as a festival attended by the king. Everyone in the palace had come to see this festival So prince was also brought and kept in a tent where festival can be seen. While he was asleep, nannies had gone out to have a close look. Meanwhile the prince had waken up and no one else were nearby. image : Buffaloes Threshing Buffaloes used to Thresh in a field Picture of a Yoke, today The prince could have seen the buffaloes threshing, and men after them with sticks. Watching how the animals suffer with the weight of yoke and beatings with sticks had made him remember what he had learned and practiced in his previous lives. So he had seated and started meditating based on breath. When nannies came back to check on him they were shocked to see the young prince meditating and they had alarmed the king and the others. It says that the king honored the little prince for the second time touching his feet, seeing that the prophecy could become true. Even it was a pleasure to see by a father, it had also increased his fear about his son becoming the savior of the sufferers, other than the great king he wished him to become one day.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.10/3/2022.

BUDDHA"S CHILDHOOD.

The religion of Buddha claims to have a number of Buddhas in its doctrine. The Buddha, literally translated as the awakened one or the enlightened one, is the being who has found a way to end the suffering of all the living beings in existence. The philosophy of Buddhism came into existence after one man attained enlightenment and sought out to spread the knowledge of peace, compassion and generosity among the people around 2600 years ago. This man, known as Shakyamuni Buddha, is an historical figure, hence termed as the historical Buddha.

The goal of Buddha’s teachings is the full development of body, speech and mind. The teachings of Buddhism have remained a liberating gift to mankind for the last 2,500 years.
