Di taman Lumbini

In the beautiful Lumbini Park
Lumbini, the place of Birth of Siddhartha Gautama

Menanti kelahiran Bodhisattva
The Bodhisattva was residing in Tusita Heaven before His last
Birth as a Human Being … He would become the Fully
Enlightened Buddha, The Teacher of Gods and Men.

Yang akan meninggalkan
mahkotaNya
Demi keselamatan manusia
In his twenty-ninth year, realizing
the fleeting and unsatisfactory
nature of life, Siddhartha
resolved to leave his palace in
search of Peace and Truth. His
departure from home was an
unprecedented case of historic
renunciation born out of
compassion for the suffering of
all beings in Samsara.
This Great Renunciation was
followed by 6 years of ardent
struggle before He attained
Enlightenment - He found the
Path to end all suffering.

He also taught the practice of Metta or Loving-kindness to all beings.

Sang Bodhisattva tekun
Bersamadi
Beneath the Holy
Bodhi Tree,
The Bodhisattva
Meditates
Diligently
One glorious day, seated under the Bodhi Tree at Bodhgaya,
he vowed not to stir from his seat
until he attained Supreme Buddhahood.
On a happy Wesak Full Moon Day, six years after his Great
Renunciation, He obtained perfect Enlightenment –
He was 35 years old.

Hilang lenyaplah
derita duniawi

Knowledge and Insight

Suffering
On the Way to Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree,
the Bodhisattva at the 3 watches of the night,
realized the following:

previous lives.
Second watch- He understood the repetitive cycle of birth
death and rebirth. He saw that beings go through birth,
death and rebirth according to their Kamma.
Third watch- He realized The Four Noble Truths. He
understood that suffering can be overcome through the
Path to Enlightenment, The Noble Eightfold Path.

The End
“Think not that you have no Teacher after my Death. Regard
the Dhamma and Vinaya I have taught you as your Teacher.
He who practises My Teaching best serves Me most.
He who sees the Dhamma sees Me.
Transient are all component things ; strive on with diligence .
The Buddha at His Final Hour of Death
“May you be
well, happy and
Peaceful.”
With Metta,
Bro. Oh Teik Bin
