Buddha advised his disciples to rely on themselves to liberation, because both purity and defilement are dependent on him. The iron will, profound wisdom, love vast, infinite compassion, virtue serve carefree, renouncing worldly historic, completely pure, compelling personality, ways legal model to propagate the teachings.

On the full moon in May in 623 BC (DL), Prince Interest-Ca Indians, was born in Nepal. He was predicted to be a great spiritual teachers in the world. Nurtured in luxury, acquire the appropriate education for a prince, he also got married and had children as others. Contemplative nature and boundless compassion of Jesus refused to allow him to enjoy the physical pleasures of the place temporary palace. He does not know suffering, but profound compassion of human suffering. Between abundance prosperity, he realized the universality of suffering. Castle with all the secular entertainment is not appropriate where the prince was full of compassion. Time was ripe for him to leave. Realizing the illusory nature of pleasure, in the year 29, he abandoned all worldly pleasures, simple yellow jacket of an ascetic, alone, empty-handed, which travels here, seek peace, truth.

It was a great occurrence unprecedented in world history; He left home because not old age, but it was during youth, not in poverty, which is in abundance. Since ancient times people believed that liberation can not be achieved unless one lives a life of extreme asceticism, he attempts to practice all forms of the most intense mortification. "Past efforts to other efforts, all this austerity to austerity another," He has extraordinary efforts during six years of uninterrupted.

His body was almost a skeleton. The more physical abuse, eyeing his purpose as he backed away. The harsh methods bring suffering and disabling He attempts practice has proved a complete failure. Now, thanks to his own experience, he fully believes the best mortification is useless, only weakens the body and results are spiritual depravity.

Experiencing his own priceless, he finally decided to follow the path of independence, avoid two extremes: the liberal and mortification. Live bohemian makes sense mortification delays and make mental impairment. The new road which he discovered as middle path (Majjhima patipada), which later became a prominent characteristic teachings in his teachings.

A good morning, while he was entering deep into meditation, without any supernatural power to guide and help, but only rely on effort and his intellect, his radical segment Root of all pollution, purify themselves, insight true nature of things, attained enlightenment at the age of 35 years. He was not born to be an enlightened, but he became an enlightened by his own efforts. He expressed complete a virtue that He preached with profound wisdom coupled with infinite compassion; His noble sacrifice his life for his remaining service of humanity, by virtue of exemplary and without any personal motive dominates.

After 45 years of complete fulfillment of his lofty vocation, Buddha like everyone, obey the strict law of impermanence, finally he passed away 80 years of age. He advised the practitioners see as the main teachings of his masters.

The Buddha was a human being. He was born as a man, as a human life, and ended his life as a man. Despite being a man, he became an extraordinary man (Acchariya manussa), but never claim to be god. Buddha emphasized this important point and not leave room for anyone to fall into the mistake of thinking that he is an immortal god. Fortunately, no deification in the case of the Buddha.

However, be aware that not a religious teacher who "step atheists like Buddha, but none like the same spirit."

Buddha was not the embodiment of the Hindu god Vishnu as some people believe, he was not a savior who rescued another generous with his own salvation. Buddha advised his disciples to rely on themselves to liberation, because both purity and defilement are dependent on him. To justify his relationship with his disciples and emphasize important points have to rely on yourself and personal effort, Buddha clearly: "You have to attempt, the Tathagata just the masters ".

Buddha directions, and our duty as we follow this path for myself are pure.

"Dependence on others to liberation is negative, trust in yourself which is positive."

Reliance on others means missing our own efforts. To encourage students to rely on themselves, the Buddha taught in business Mahaparinirvana (Parinibbana Sutta): "You take yourself as the island, take yourself as shelter, do not find a place to take refuge others ". These teachings are meaningful for themselves upward. They demonstrated how vividly personal effort to accomplish his own purposes, and how frivolous to seek the salvation of the savior charity, or the thirst for happiness in a future lives chimera born by divine worship imagine, or by the prayers unrequited and meaningless sacrifices.

Moreover, the Buddha did not claim the exclusive fruition of enlightenment, the fact it is not the prerogative of a particular grace. He has reached the highest perfection that man can expect, and is a very open-minded masters, he opened a single straight path leading to Buddhahood. In the teachings of the Buddha, whoever (if any effort necessary) may also aspire to perfection. Buddha did not condemn humanity are coward, on the contrary, he encouraged them, tell them the soul of this ancient capital of purity. According to his conception, the human world is not evil, but is deluded by ignorance. Instead of making disciples own frustration and just keep their subliminal state, he encouraged and guided them to follow Him, for Buddhahood latent in all beings. In a sense, all beings are Buddha becoming.

A person aspiring to be called Bodhisattva Buddha (Bodhisatta), which means location wise. Bodhisattva ideal is good lifestyle and the highest ever raised between this selfish world, because there is nothing more noble pure life, and serve. As a man, he reached Buddhahood and proclaimed to the world the potential of super Vietnam and creative abilities of humans. Instead of placing an unseen Almighty God over man, arbitrary control the destiny of humanity, turning them into slaves of a powerful super Vietnam, he emphasizes the value of humanity. Himself taught that man can gain liberation and purification by self-effort without having to rely on a God that external or intermediary clergy group. Himself taught this selfish world serve lofty ideals and impartiality. He himself was against the degrading caste system, teaching human equality, ensuring equal opportunities for all, in order to get ahead in all walks of life.

He stated that the door to success has opened for everyone in all conditions, high or low life situation, sages or criminals, who wants to turn a new page and wish life to be perfect .

Regardless of skin color, race and class, he founded a congregation composed of both men and women, single and democracy. He will not be dependent followers of his teachings or his own dependence that allows them complete freedom of thought.

He enhanced the life deluded, purified the corrupted lives depraved. He encouraged those who are weak, reconcile the divided, enlightened those delusions, unraveling the mysterious monk, mentoring honest people, raising the lowly, increase the lofty dignity. All rich and poor, saints and ordinary, are a joy loves him. The tyrannical king and true, the millionaire generous and stingy, scholars haughty and humble, the poor interior, these downtrodden garbage man, the brutal killer, the Gypsy girl with disdain - have all benefited by the teachings full of compassion and wisdom of God.

His noble example is an inspiration to everyone. Designs peace His serenity is gentle image for ulterior eyes. Peace Mission and tolerance of the people welcome him with joy inexpressible, and those lucky enough to hear and practice will permanently benefit.

Just like that, all Buddhist countries like Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Nepal, Tibet, China, Mongolia, Korea, Japan etc .. are all grown success in the cradle of Buddhism. Though the Great Master was away 2500 years, yet his unique personality has a strong influence on all who know him.

Radical homage to the Buddha, Sri Radha Krishna said: "For the Buddha Gautama, we have a spiritual teacher comes from the East, thought and influence on human life does not give place for anybody, and he is the founder Religious traditions have a profound impact not least any one religion. He belongs to the history of ideas in the world, belong to the common heritage of the educated person, and impartial review of the intellectual virtues, moral fervor and spiritual enlightenment, surely he is one of the the greatest character in the history ".

Talking about the three greatest man in history, historian writer like HG Wells wrote: "Through the Buddha, you clearly see him as a simple man, passionate, fighting alone, because the light of truth, a personality vivid, real, rather than a legendary figure. He gave mankind a message of universality has universal.

Many modern thinkers and our most modern was extremely attuned to Buddhism. He taught all suffering and conflict are caused by selfishness, before a person can become calm, he must renounce the lifestyle for his sensual, or because their lives. Then he becomes identified with a lofty. Five hundred years before the Christian faith (Christ), in a voice other things, the Buddha has called humanity of self-abnegation. On some respects, he is close to us and with our needs better. He scrutinizes the individual values ​​and our mission than a Christian virtue, and less ambiguous on the issue of human immortality. "

St. Hilaire remarked: "Buddha is the perfect model of all the virtues that he taught: His life is not a stain."
