【Buddha】

Look at that cute little prince

 

it's Buddha

 

though right now he's still called Siddhartha

 

Gautama Siddhartha lives in a palace in India

 

his parents believe that this little guy will become

something extraordinary

 

to know this for sure they asked an astrologer to consult

 

the Stars about the future he will either become a very powerful ruler like

 

his father or he becomes a holy man and

 

your family will lose all power in the kingdom

 

oh my don't worry as long as you keep him

 

away from sickness ageing poverty and death it will be alright

 

they decide to protect the prince from all such experiences

 

Siddhartha grows up gets married and has kids without having met

 

ordinary people outside the palace

 

but one day siddhartha drives his cart outside the palace area

 

there he witnesses how ordinary people live he

 

sees an old man a sick man and a beggar monk in the street

 

he also drives by a dead man what people get sick and are poor and die

 

life is just suffering

 

Siddhartha doesn't want to suffer and he doesn't want anyone else to do so either

 

this must be solved

 

he leaves his wife and child and goes away

 

siddharta asks a lot of wise men for advice on how to live but doesn't get

 

any good answers so he decides to try not eating

 

he will starve himself like a beggar monk

 

an ascetic look how thin he has become this clearly

 

doesn't work

 

it won't make one happier

 

no Siddhartha

 

realizes this he gives up the idea of starving himself

 

and sits down beneath a Bodhi tree to meditate here he decides

 

to stay until he's found the solution

 

nothing will make him move an evil demon

 

called Mara appears to tempt him

 

Mara offers him lots of great things but

 

Siddhartha just stays put and finally

 

after having meditated for 49 days

 

siddhartha realizes what's wrong

 

humans are never satisfied they always

 

want more and this wanting to have more

 

never ends and then the suffering never ends either

 

so now Siddhartha has realized how it is he has become enlightened

 

and that is what the word Buddha means now

 

he is no longer Siddhartha Gautama

 

but Buddha

 

Buddha wants more people to realize this

 

some of his friends listen to him and start to follow him they become his disciples

 

Buddha preaches to them and to other people

 

at this time in India everyone is Hindu the Hindus believe in rebirth and reincarnation

 

you are born live die are born live die and so on in an endless cycle samsara

 

stop I want to get off

 

Buddha preaches the importance of getting free from samsara

 

getting reborn

 

makes it impossible to avoid suffering

 

buddha had tried both being rich and starving these are too exaggerated ways of living

 

and neither are good

 

he believes it to be better to choose a middle way

 

but hey Buddha if you are not born again where do you end up after day earth

 

you don't get to a place but to a condition where you don't want anything

 

nirvana

 

why do you call it Nirvana

 

Nirvana means blown out all your desires are blown out

 

and you have reached a kind of peace

 

Buddha wanders around preaching how to reach nirvana

 

when Buddha dies there have become many disciples

 

now it's time for them to pass on his teachings

 

【佛陀】

 

看看那個可愛的小王子

 

雖然是佛陀，但現在他仍然

 

名叫悉達多·喬達摩·

 

悉達多 住在印度的一座宮殿裡，他的父母 相信這個小傢伙會成為非凡之人，

 

為此他們請了一位占星家，諮詢他的未來

 

要麼像他父親一樣成為一位非常強大的統治者，

 

要麼成為一個聖人，

 

你的家族將失去在王國裡的所有權力

 

哦，我的天，別擔心，只要你讓他遠離疾病、老化、貧困和死亡，一切都會好起來的。

 

他們決定保護王子免受所有這些經歷的折磨。

 

悉達多長大了，結婚生子，卻從未見過宮外的普通人

 

但有一天，悉達多駕著他的馬車在宮外，他目睹了普通人的生活，看到一位老人、一位病人和一位乞丐

 

街上的僧侶，他還開車經過一個死人，人會生病，會貧窮和死亡

 

人生就是受苦

 

悉達多不想受苦，他也不想讓任何人受苦這個問題必須解決，他拋下妻子和孩子，遠走高飛

 

悉達多向許多智者請教如何生活，但沒有得到任何好的答案，所以他決定嘗試不吃東西，他會像一個乞丐僧侶，一個苦行僧

 

看看他瘦成什麼樣子了，這很明顯行不通，不會讓人更快樂

 

不，悉達多意識到這一點，他放棄了餓死自己的想法，坐在一棵菩提樹下冥想，他決定一直待到找到答案

 

什麼都無法讓他動彈，一個名叫瑪拉的惡魔似乎誘惑他，

 

魔羅給了他很多美好的事物，但是悉達多只是如如不動，最終在冥想了49天後

 

悉達多意識到了問題所在

人類永遠不會滿足，他們總是想要更多，這種想要擁有更多的想法永無止境，痛苦永無止境

 

所以現在悉達多意識到了自己是如何開悟的，這就是佛陀

 

佛陀現在的意思，他不再是悉達多·喬達摩，而是佛陀

 

希望更多的人認識到這一點，一些他的朋友聽了他的講道，開始跟隨他，成為他的弟子

 

佛陀向他們和其他人宣說

 

在印度，每個人都印度教徒，印度教徒相信輪迴

 

輪迴，你生，你死

 

生，你死，你死，你生死，你 ...離開

 

佛陀宣揚擺脫輪迴、重生

 

使人無法避免痛苦

 

佛陀曾經嘗試過富裕和挨餓，這些都太誇張了兩種生活方式，而且都不好

 

他認為最好選擇一條中庸之道，

 

但佛陀，如果你不重生，你最終會去往何處在塵世，你不會到達某個地方，而是到達一種你什麼都不要的狀態

 

涅槃，為什麼叫它涅槃？

 

涅槃意味著你所有的慾望都被摧毀，你達到了一種平靜。

 

佛陀四處遊歷四處宣講如何達到涅槃

 

佛陀圓寂後，弟子眾多現在是他們傳承佛法的時候了
