Science about the life of Buddha Shakyamuni.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH. This documentary is the objective view of scientists and archaeologists about the traces of reality: where Buddha was born, where he lived, and their objective view of the teachings of Taoism. Buddha for us to contemplate. Prince Siddhartha after enlightenment was called Buddha. He grew up in an environment of extreme nobility and luxury. In his youth, he tasted many sources of pleasure, but he gave it all up in search of a higher wisdom. He faced and discovered the nature of his greed, anger and ignorance. He founded mankind's first religion. A religion that uses Meditation to achieve complete happiness. Currently, there are more than 400 million followers of Buddhism. Our potential and efforts lead to ultimate truth. His life produced one of the great epics and the Buddha became mankind's most enduring symbol. “ 2,500 years after his death, Buddha's messages are still relevant for modern life. The Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, continues a tradition of practice that began when the Buddha died. Buddhism is accepted by many different cultures with many manifestations. Things that achieve a state of stillness and clarity, deep, are seen by some as a religion, a philosophy, or as a field of psychotherapy. Some see Buddhism not as a religion but as a science of the mind ” (His Holiness the Dalai Lama)* . Buddha's message is as relevant for the 21st century as it was 2,500 years ago. “ What made Buddhism so popular? It is profound and recognized that the Buddha discovered extremely important things ” (Professor Richard Gombrich)* . Unlike other religions, Buddhism focuses on the mind, without a supreme god. Buddha - the awakened one, is a great teacher. “ It is easy to see in an age when psychology over religion becomes an option for many people. It's a cure-all for many of life's problems and is very easy to use ” (Professor Kevin Trainor, University of Vermont)* . There are many manifestations of Buddha, and Buddhists have a particular mental image of Buddha. “ Complete stillness and non-violence are embodied in the image of Buddha ” (Dalai Lama)*. Until more than 100 years ago, the West knew nothing about Buddha's life. When Britain colonized India - the place where Buddha was born, where Buddhism was destroyed by Hindu kings and by Muslim invaders. “ Details of the major sites of Buddha's life have been lost. Until British archaeologists began to explore North India. Their discoveries began to tie Buddha's life to historical events . During the 1860s, a number of archaeologists began identifying sites related to Buddha's life. Until the 1890s, it was identified in the Ganges River region, but the two important sites of Lumbini - the birthplace of Buddha and Kapilavastu have not been identified. Few people know about the northern part of the Ganges River because it is also a place of thick forest, many wild animals and malaria .” (Dr. Robin Coningham. Bradford University archaeologist)* A great discovery found the place where Buddha was born and raised. A pillar was found in a village far from the border of Nepal, and a British archaeological team has been sent to decipher what is engraved on the pillar. “ The text is inscribed in the vernacular of North India and says this is where Buddha was born. This is the first detail that the Buddha is not just a legend but a real person. According to ancient Buddhist documents, the place where Buddha was born is called Lumbini. And now, archaeologists have identified Lumbini on the map. Now, they try to find the city of Kapilavastu - where Buddha grew up. It is certain that Kapilavastu is located about 10 or 15 km from Lumbini. The search begins at Lumbini ” (Dr. Robin Coningham, University of Bradford Archaeologist)*. The search may lead to Kapilavastu points possibly in one in India and the other in Nepal. Archaeologists have debated this for 100 years. One study by Dr. Boniham and his research team was the Kapilavastu citadel now in the city of Kapilavastu in Nepal. “ It is a very interesting and well maintained place. We did a geographical survey and identified several roads. It is clear that this city was designed in a reticle pattern in the final stages .” (Dr. Robin Coningham, University of Bradford archaeologist*) . At the center is a castle and this is the life of Buddha. 2500 years ago, North India was divided into many kingdoms and many republics. Buddha's father - King Pure Sanskrit was elected as the leader of the Sakya clan. He ruled the kingdom near his castle in the foothills of the Himalayas. Mada is his queen. Legend has it that on a full moon night, the queen had a strange dream. The dream indicates that a person called Buddha is about to be reborn. The four heavenly kings brought Queen Mada to the Himalayas while she was still asleep. They wore holy perfume and adorned her with heavenly flowers. A white elephant with 6 tusks came down from heaven. On her back, she carried a lotus flower and entered the queen's belly. Queen Mada will give birth to Buddha. “ If you compare the conception of Buddha with the conception of Jesus, there is the presence of angels. I see a similar idea. The idea is that they are metaphysical phenomena that indicate that a great event is taking place. It is said that Buddha chooses the time and place where he will be reborn ” (Professor Peter Harvey, University of Sunderland)* . The boy was named Siddhartha, which means that all wishes will be fulfilled. Queen Mada became ill and died a few days later. His aunt raised Siddhartha to grow up. King Pure Sanskrit invited the Brahmin missionaries to come and a trusted prophet of the king predicted the future of the Crown Prince. The seer saw that Siddhartha's body had many good signs, including a wheel on the foot. “ Legend says that Siddhartha was born with 32 good signs. The person with this good sign will become a Buddha or a great king who rules the world. King Tinh San was very interested in predicting Siddhartha would become a great king. That is why the king prevented the Crown Prince from coming into contact with things that could lead to a religious path ” (Professor Peter Harvey, University of Sunderland*) . Everyone knows Siddhartha is a special person, especially King Pure Sanskrit. But when observing his son's curiosity about everything around him, the king worried that one day, the Crown Prince would leave the golden palace to become a religious leader instead of becoming a religious leader. King. The older Siddhartha grew, the more pleased King Tinh San was with his rare ability in sports: sword fighting, grappling and archery. But the king was also a curious and thoughtful boy. The boy learns about the nature of his surroundings rather than the act of war. For the king, new wars were talents that young Siddhartha should learn to become a leader of the country. Siddhartha was expected to be the king and protector of the city of Kapilavastu, one of the earliest established cities in North India. The castle where Siddhartha grew up has long since collapsed. The mud and wooden objects have left no traces for archaeologists to study. But what durable materials have been discovered recently in Chocolate? “ We dug a trench 3m long and 3m wide and slowly we visualized the progress of the construction. We were quite surprised to find the bowl in black paint ” (Dr. Dr. Robin Coningham – University of Bradford Archaeologist*) This piece is of great importance Dr. Coningham believes it was made in the 5th century BC when Siddhartha was growing up in the palace. “ This was a small industrial center, a settlement that today we hesitate to call a city. This settlement was centered around a king's courtyard. The majority of the population lives in agricultural lands further away ” (Dr. Coningham)* . It was this land, far from the palace, that attracted Siddhartha. When he was 9 years old, his father let him attend the annual ploughing festival. Siddhartha was very excited. Exposure to reality outside the city opened a new perception of the world for Siddhartha and set the direction for the boy's life. The story is that Siddhartha witnessed a farmer plowing very hard, something the boy had never seen at the palace. Siddhartha managed to leave the festival and sit alone. The first real life experience had an effect on the boy. For everyone else this is a festival but for Siddhartha it is a very different thing. Afternoon events. Looking at the iron plow and plowing the ground and seeing such suffering. The boy wondered: if the farmer hadn't plowed the soil, the bird wouldn't have eaten the worm. Siddhartha realized that everything is related and that actions have consequences. This sincere recognition becomes the main teaching of the Buddha, known as karma. While focusing on these ideas, Siddhartha fell into a state of samadhi, a state that is the first step on the path to enlightenment. "Siddhartha sat under a tree and watched intently as the plow was plowing the ground. At the same time Siddhartha easily entered the first meditative state full of peace and happiness. Later, Siddhartha applied this practice on the spiritual path. The connection here is concentration on something, reaching a stillness. In addition, his love for the worms beside the tilled plow also helped him to enter this meditative state. I think we can say this is one of Siddhartha's special talents. " (Professor Peter Harvey said *) The actions of the young crown prince as king were very anxious. The custom of Brahminism, the tradition at that time forced a son to follow in his father's footsteps. “ One of the things that makes the story so powerful is the fact that the father tried to protect his son from suffering because there was a prediction that the crown prince would become a great king or would give up his nobility to become one. enlightenment. Of course, the father wants his son to follow in his footsteps and become king ." (Prof. Kevin Trainor*) King Pure Sanskrit tried all kinds of ways to keep Siddhartha in the palace. During the time the Crown Prince was growing up, the king tried to create it. As usual, Siddhartha had many beautiful courtesans who entertained the Prince with their music and beauty. Siddhartha was 14 years old, his father found a beautiful wife for the Crown Prince - Princess Yadu Da La. Siddhartha had to compete with other boys in order to get Yau Dudala. The king began to think that a life of luxury had begun to suit Siddhartha. But that's just a dream. Siddhartha begged his father to let him out of the palace. Unable to refuse forever, King Tinh San desperately ordered to remove all the bad scenes inside the palace. Like a Hollywood movie set, images of the elderly, the poor, and the sick were removed to show the Crown Prince. Despite those efforts, Siddhartha's contacts with the outside world revealed things differently. With the innocence of a child, Siddhartha traveled with the charioteer, Channa, as his guide. The prince will travel 4 times and will see 4 phenomena as the oracle said. The history books of Buddha say this is very important because each journey will reveal the hidden secrets of life. On his first trip, Siddhartha went to the countryside, far away from the control of his father. Seeing an old man in pain walking back and forth, the Crown Prince asked Channa "what's wrong with him". "It's aging," says Chana. Siddhartha feared that old age was inevitable and that everyone would grow old. Reality has begun to unfold, though suffering has begun to dominate all aspects of life. The second phenomenon is Siddhartha saw a sick person, his body writhing with wounds. Siddhartha asked Chana if everyone could get sick and was scared again when he replied that everyone must get sick. The protective wall around has begun to collapse, the more you go, the more you confront the miseries of life. Seeing a zombie wrapped in cloth to be brought to the pyre, Siddhartha was horrified to discover that death. A religious belief that after we die we will be reborn so that suffering dies again and again and also terrified Siddhartha. “ The life of Buddha is a parable because the most important story is that this is a young man who grew up in a lavish environment and finds that it is not enough because he is in crisis. Crisis is the first exposure to aging, disease, and death. It doesn't make sense to think that being a smart guy - Siddhartha didn't know anything about this. What is remarkable here is the violent clash as we face the basics of life and the effects they have on us. And it's urgent that we do something about it. ” (GS: Richard Gombrich. Ballio College, Oxford*). But the fourth image is what pushes Siddhartha to choose the future, a monk carrying a simple shirt and a begging pot in front of him. "Who could give up the pleasures of life to wander and beg in a country like that?" Chana explains that the monk gave up all sensual pleasures, in order to face reality and search for answers to all these painful pleasures. “ I find these four images to be an effective representation of the realization that we will grow old, get sick, and die. The difference here is not that other people will get old, will get sick, will die, but themselves will get old, will get sick, will die. The story is about how we feel when we see them for the first time. " (GS: Peter Harvey *) When Siddhartha returned to the palace with a fourth confrontation. His mind reeled with a new understanding of the world around him. The fruit will rot, the four walls of the palace will one day fall. His wife has just given birth to a baby boy, but both will grow old, get sick, and die. That cannot be avoided. He saw impermanence and impermanence appearing everywhere. Siddhartha knew he would leave his family to find answers to the questions tormenting him even if it meant leaving his wife and son, going against family and Brahmin traditions. Subject. Siddhartha left home to find answers to life's afflictions. The story tells of a hypnotic smoke that put the guards to sleep and allowed him and Channa to escape to the east. By the river A No Ma, he took off his treasures, changed his clothes with rags, and cut off his long hair, asking Cha na to bring them back to the palace. The first time Siddhartha was alone, he finally broke free from the fake world of the palace, where his troubles were hidden. Now he had to touch reality again, if he wanted the answer behind existence. Siddhartha faced sufferings he had never seen before when he entered the city. “ In this city, people live very tight, there are many diseases and sorrows, some think that this is the main reason why Buddha emphasized suffering. It emphasizes that anyone in any society has to deal with it ” (Prof. Peter Harvey)* . Siddhartha realized that in order to find answers to people's sufferings, he had to challenge Brahminism - the religion that everyone was adhering to. Brahmanism has the so-called Vedic consciousnesses. Vedic means knowledge, is alluded to, Veda means only knowledge. Professor Peter Harvey said, “ With this knowledge, the Brahmins controlled every stage of human life from birth to death. Their blessing is necessary but their knowledge can only be passed on to their sons. The status of the Brahmin clerical families was always satisfactory until a new wave of thinking began to challenge them. " “ It was a time when Brahminism, an early form of Hinduism, was called into question, as was the time of Plato and Soragret in Ancient Greece. People talk and argue. The Buddha tried to interrupt those discussions, he tried to rehearse a chaos of consciousness, a jungle of consciousness ” (GS Rachard Gombrich) . When Siddhartha explored this forest, he found the discovery for suffering and common to all instead of just to a few as was the tradition of the Brahmins. “ The Buddha did not agree with the brahmins. Buddha said a person is born by living virtuously. A person does not become a lowly person but by being born by living a lowly life of that person. Like in society, a noble person is not born into a prestigious family, but is his or her right way of life ” (GS Peter Harvey*) . Siddhartha went deep into Northern India. He is looking for a way of life that can overcome the troubles of life. Siddhartha was interested in new philosophical schools but wanted to go further into his mind. He decided to focus on meditation techniques and went to find good teachers to study. “ In general, in the past, there were two types of meditation practice in India. Meditation can put oneself under pressure of breath control or sometimes fasting, or sometimes receiving discomfort, the aim being to change the state of mind ” (GS Rachard Gombrich)* . Siddhartha practiced very well, his teachers suggested that he stay, but Siddhartha decided that these practices were not enough to solve the problems created by samsara's defilements. He explored other methods, this time focusing on body practices. " Siddhartha try another method harsh asceticism, sometimes going without food, not bathing, hold their breath for a long time full of violence on the body. " (GS: Peter Harvey) Ascetics can starve and destroy their bodies. They think the body is an obstacle to spiritual liberation. Removing their attachment to the body will remove the mind and the attachments of the soul. Siddhartha tried to reach this state of freedom, he fasted for a long time until he was exhausted and near death. My limbs became the junctions of dry vines. My ass is like the toenail of an ant beetle. My spine juts out like a chain, my ribs exposed like the beams of a collapsing roof. My eyes were sunken, my pupils glittering like water in a deep well. My head was dry like a dried squash shivering and shrinking in the hot wind. When Siddhartha was nearly dying of hunger, a young girl saved him with a bowl of rice and milk. “ Yesterday, he ate only one grain of rice a day, in fact he made himself healthy. Thereby, he realized that the body through self-mortification, asceticism did not solve the problem ” (Prof. Peter Harvey)* . When five fellow monks saw that Siddhartha was no longer fasting, they lost their faith and thought he did not have the strength to pursue his spiritual beliefs. They left him. It doesn't torture its own body, it's very peaceful and happy. Siddhartha happened to witness a musician tuning a guitar. The strings will not sound if the strings are too loose, will break if the strings are too tight, will play a soft sound if the strings are tight enough. This simple observation leads to a very important realization. the middle way leads Siddhartha in any way. “ That path is called mindfulness, awareness of the body. This path that neither gives up nor forces the body to control it is called the middle path ” (Prof. Peter Harvey*) . The Middle Way led Siddhartha to the countryside, he traveled for 6 years and had many sufferings and led to troubles, had many deep reflections but he still could not find peace and harmony in his life. mind body. That sublime wisdom and eternal happiness is called enlightenment. Here, the arrival of sublime wisdom and the happiness of enlightenment is enlightenment. upon reaching enlightenment. Our flesh may rot, our bones may fall. " Siddhartha not leave this place anymore abuse, excessive, do not cause pain. Life already has enough suffering, there is no need to create more suffering, he reflects on everything in life. He begins to focus his mind by noticing the out-breath and the in-breath by slowing down, a feeling of lightness and purity around the pit of time " (Peter Harvey*) . Mara in a group of demons shot fire arrows at Siddhartha. Siddhartha turned the arrows halfway into lotus flowers and they were falling all around him. Failing, the demon king let his daughters seduce Siddhartha. “ Siddhartha being attacked with the demon king is similar to death and lust of the Praydion school. The death of desire is a somewhat confusing death. The three daughters of the demon king can make people lustful or indifferent. If I say that these lewd girls are disgusting, then I am a slave of sexual passion. Siddhartha could be completely still, unconcerned with glamorous dances. just their presence without being repelled or attracted ” (GS. Richard Gombrich*) . The girls' faces rotted in front of Siddhartha. then they disappeared deep into the earth. “ Perhaps Siddhartha knew the demon king was an expression of himself. This total identification is his enlightenment ” (GS: Richard Gombrich*) . The earth shook when Siddhartha defeated the demon king. He passed the 4 steps of meditation to attain enlightenment and became a Buddha – the awakened one. The Buddha lived seven days under the Bodhi tree in an extremely peaceful meditative state. " This is a state in which the mind is extremely pure and very sensitive, and a tool to explore, like the still waters of a pond can be seen in the presence of small worms in the water " ( Prof. Peter Harvey*) . In this state, the Buddha discovered the way out of the cycle of samsara. He found that if we get rid of lust, we can get rid of discontent. And sorrow. “ A major cause of suffering and dissatisfaction is desire. There is always a difference between what you want and what you really want ” (Peter Harvey*) . Wisdom Buddha gave birth to Buddhism with 400 million followers today. The Buddha summed up his wisdom in four fundamental truths in all Buddhist teachings. The first truth recognizes that there is suffering in life. The second truth, the cause of suffering is desire. The third truth as a doctor is that there is medicine to cure lust. The fourth truth He gave prescriptions for healing and attaining enlightenment. “ The ultimate goal is to attain a state of mind that is completely free from desire, ignorance, greed, hatred and delusion. Hence, being free from all causes leads to rebirth. When an enlightened person dies, they are seen as having passed all rebirths, not coming back. This is considered liberation ” (Prof. Peter Harvey*) . The Buddha further taught that morality, meditation, and insight are the basic steps to enlightenment. He devoted his life to helping others on the path to freedom and freedom from suffering. As the number of disciples increased, Buddha established a Sangha. Today, a temple stands next to a Bodhi tree, a descendant of the old Bodhi tree - where Buddha attained enlightenment. The teachers here have become a living bookcase of the Buddha's teachings. Chanting the Buddha's teachings under the Bodhi tree is believed to increase the energy of the Buddha's teachings. It is the responsibility of the head monk to uphold this tradition at the temple. “ The most important thing is to practice what the Buddha taught. Practice diligently, mindfully. Sin explains Buddhism in just four words: practicing mindfulness ” (Prof. Peter Harvey*) . The path to enlightenment begins with the practice and concentration of precepts. “ Ethics, meditation and wisdom. Do not kill, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not lie, do not consume alcohol or drugs ” (Monk Bhikkhu Bodhipala, Mahabodhi Temple, Bodhgaya*). This was the way of life of the first sangha. Buddha returned to the palace 7.8 years after he left them. We are told as King Pure Sanskrit about the passing of the Buddha and his sufferings. The king is aware of the sufferings sought. of his son. Buddha's aunt also allowed him to become a monk and become the first female monk in history. “ The fact that the Buddha abandoned his wife and children to find all the answers is accepted by all Buddhists. How to find the answer is more important than living with a lot of possessions or living with real people ” (GS: Richard Gombrich*) . Buddha left gd again. He taught for 40 years, passing on the wisdom he gained to his disciples under the Bodhi tree. Before leaving the family, he ordained his son to become a young novice. The Buddha encouraged them to live in a palace or a Sangha so that it could help them focus on the cause of liberation. “ Some people go to practice purely to be quiet, to live. Some people go to monks to spread the word ” (Monk Bhikkhu Bodhipala, Mahabodhi Temple, Bodhgaya *) . Monks from all over the world live in temples, around the Bodhi tree. The laymen came here to study with the monks. Buddhist monks are not allowed to have sex and must give up selfish desires. “ A part of the training is to let go of selfishness and become fully involved in the Sangha life ” – (Monk Thich Hanh Hao*) . Once the desires have been abandoned, the training begins by memorizing long suttas or mantras. These mantras test memory, concentration, and devotion to what the Buddha taught. Over the centuries, the Buddha's teachings have evolved into many different schools with their particular interpretations and practices. But the Buddha taught that lay people can also practice the path to peace and happiness. “ Most Westerners come to Buddhism not to leave society but to train themselves to be useful to society. Buddha's message has become another role, becoming a way of self-expression to cope with life's stresses and define life's purpose ” (TS: Robin Coringham) . A lot of Westerners like to practice Buddhist Meditation. “ I think we all think about the mystery of life from time to time. Meditation helps us to come more to life. It helps us to be calm, to control our mind, and to help us become aware of our connection to all living things. About impermanence, about nirvana ” (Kenvin Trainor*) . Some schools believe that the Buddha was capable of traveling and performing miracles. Some schools believe that the Buddha was an ordinary person and it is this that makes the Buddha's message all the more valuable. One thing is for sure, the Buddha wanted people to remember his weaknesses. Weaknesses are not moral and intellectual but physical. At the end of his life, he suffered from back pain and several other ailments. Buddha died when he was 80 years old. He entered samadhi in a state of eternal peace with his eyes closed. A council was established to review the Buddha's teachings for the next generation. These are learned by heart and passed on from generation to generation. The body of the Buddha was cremated and the relics were kept. 200 years later, King Ashoka - the first emperor of India, united to keep this relic stored in the tower. King Ashoka preached Buddhism. The king built towers and pillars commemorating the Buddha. The king became a model figure for and a model for future Buddhists throughout Asia. They see Asoka as a perfect Buddhist king and protector. “ We know that King Ashoka ruled over two-thirds of modern Buddhist territory. In the middle of the 3rd century B.C.E., he sent missions to regions from Carnis to Sri Lanka. King srilanka support. Srilanka became a Buddhist country until now. That is how Buddhism has been transmitted to countries over the centuries ” (Richard Gombrich*) . Ashoka's stone pillars outlived Buddhism in India. They withstood a Buddhist invasion and survived to gain the attention of British archaeologists. “ This gives an impetus to the revival of Buddhism. Desire for places where Buddha lived. These are Buddhist images for Westerners. The images also help revive Buddhism in Asia ” (Kenvin Trainor)* . Today, major sites for the Buddha's life also help tourists and pilgrims visit him. They hope to find eternal peace and freedom from birth and death. " The irony is that after the Buddha died, he became the object of worship, a taking politely think the biggest in the history of what he once was alive pointed out is completely useless " ( Richard Gombrich*) . The temples built in Bodhgaya are representative of Buddhist traditions around the world. Buddhism in all its forms has returned home, to the Bodhi tree - the place where an enlightened prince became a Buddha. “ Buddha attained liberation in an instant. I love you for thousands of lifetimes. Enlightenment just a moment. That moment of enlightenment made the first religion. A religion without a supreme being. And the way to liberation is within the reach of each of us.
