Who is Siddhartha?

That day everybody in the Kapilvastu kingdom was eagerly waiting for the news of the heritor going to born! and at last, they received that delightful news. The Price of the kingdom was born and everybody was cherishing the moment.

One day Guru Asita visited the kingdom to see the new prince. After studying the horoscope of the baby, Guru Asita claimed in future this boy will be a “Great Human”. So he named the Prince as “Siddhartha” and predicted when Siddharta will grow up he would leave his kingdom and will achieve “perfection” and “accomplishment”. The world will know him by the name of “Buddha“

A few days later when Siddhartha was born his mother left the world. The second wife of King Suddhodana named Mahapajapati Gotami became Siddhartha’s foster mother. Gotami loved Siddhartha as he was her own son, as a result of which Siddhartha was named “Gautam“.

King Suddhodana was worried as Gautam might leave his kingdom to know the reality of life and to see the harsh world outside. So he along with his ministers made a plan to keep Gautam away from the ordinary life and shift him in a luxurious palace where he could not think about the real harsh world in which people suffer from poverty.

As a result of this, a luxurious palace was built by the king for Gautam, which was a whole different world. Beautiful gardens, royal foods, cloths, and entertainment were the attractions of the palace. Soon Gautam was married to Queen Yasodhara and gave birth to a son named Rahula.

Guru Asita’s Prediction Was Going To Be True

One day Siddhartha requested his father to visit outside the palace to know the reality of the world. King Suddhodana got worried as he believed Siddhartha would not be able to face the reality outside, so he ordered his ministers to make the path of Siddhartha clean and rich so that no poor people and place were visible to him.

When Siddhartha visited outside the palace he saw an old man sitting beside a tree and then he also saw people at the funeral of a person, he asked his charioteer why was that man old? and why the people have gathered and were crying? His Charioteer replied this is a circle of life, a young boy turns into a man, earns his livelihood, daycares his family and soon turns into an old man and then finally dies.

Siddhartha returned to his palace and told his father that he wanted to know more about human life, but his father consoled him to handle his kingdom as he was a Kshatriya. Siddharta expressed his strong desires for abandonment and wanted to live as a hermit.

The same night Siddhartha quietly left his kingdom without telling anyone. Siddhartha choose the path of Bhiksha and started living with other saints to know the reality of life. But he was not satisfied and at last left with his five followers to deep forests.

Through meditation Siddhartha was able to dissolve all his anger and desires, he wanted everyone should live in the same manner and achieve emancipation. Next Siddhartha continued his journey to Bodhgaya, and under a Bodhi tree started meditating.

This is how Gautam Buddha was born, who taught the world for 45 years about Buddhism religion. Further Buddha became a great philosopher, mendicant, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader.

Ever wondered why Buddhist monks are always so calm?

Well, they follow certain rules which make their lives a simple and happy one. Their philosophy focuses on reducing suffering, which in turn makes their life more peaceful. Some of the rules which will change your life are as follows-

Simplicity

From the life story of Buddha, we have discovered that despite born in a Kshatriya family he left his kingdom and lived his life as a saint. He has realized that materialistic fulfillment can never bring inner happiness instead when we develop a selfless attitude and live for others true happiness lies in this. As a result, we get less emotional on small aspects and our mind becomes much calmer. Also, there is a deeper satisfaction in helping others.

Meditation

Meditation has the power to change minds and it can change our very nature too. Buddha knew meditation is the stepping stone for enlightenment. Isn’t it surprising that only 20 minutes a day of meditation can change your entire life! Through meditation, we can take control of our subconscious minds and achieve true happiness.

Follow The Wise

We must listen to our elders as they are more experienced, if we look around we can see many insightful people from whom we can learn. Elder people have seen the world more than us so they can offer countless life lessons.

Accept Mindfulness As a Way of Life

It’s very easy to judge others and create a perspective without even knowing the story of others. But this is not true and sometimes it leads us to see someone in the wrong way. What’s wonderful about mindfulness is that it’s judgment-free. The motive of mindful communication is to take everything into consideration without evaluating it.

Embrace Change

Our attitude towards life is directed related to the change we can embrace or accept. Embracing change can make us more calm and flexible, on the other hand, if we stay rigid on our thoughts that may affect the people around us as well.

Live In The Moment

It’s true that it is very difficult to control our thoughts as they flow in the past or for the future. Remembering the past is the most negative aspect of life as it is not the reality! Life doesn’t happen between our ears, it happens in the NOW. It is very important to live the moment to find greater happiness.
