The Last Words of Buddha.
Buddha
Buddha is the common name of a monk who lived in ancient India hundreds of years before Jesus. He was a philosopher and teacher. His teachings are the foundation of Buddhism.
He spent many years of his life traveling and teaching. At the core of Buddha’s teaching was the way to escape the endless cycle of suffering, dying, and rebirth to experience it all again. The escape comes through following the right path of moral virtue and meditation and wisdom.
It is no surprise, then, that Buddha’s last words express the same importance on your own efforts to find liberation. He said, “Work hard to gain your own salvation. Do your best.”
These words stand in stark contrast to the last words of Jesus Christ. While dying upon the cross, Jesus said, “It is finished” (John 19:30). Not only was the life of Jesus finished, but his work was finished as well. His death was the final sacrifice for sin. We no longer need to work for our salvation. We need to believe in the work of Jesus, accomplished on our behalf.
These words demonstrate the difference between Buddhism and Christianity. Buddhism is about working and striving and seeking to obtain your own salvation. Christianity is about trusting and resting in the work of Jesus, who obtained our salvation for us.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.21/3/2022.

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 story of Shakyamuni Buddha is an extraordinary story, where he is born in a noble royal family only to renounce his princehood to find a way to end the suffering of life. People wonder how his life and childhood may have been spent during that period of time. Let us discuss his childhood in this section of the website.
