The birth of the Supreme Buddha is very rare

Image
The birth of the Supreme Buddha is very rare          The descent of a Samma Sambuddha into this world is extremely rare. It is also rare to have an intelligent life. Also, it is extremely rare to hear that great Dhamma. The rare opportunity to encounter that sublime Dhamma in the life of an intelligent human being is called instant wealth. The chances of the wandering animal losing this instantaneous wealth are high. When a real Arahath Samma Sambuddha descends into this world and preaches this pure Dhamma in the beginning, the middle and the end, if an animal is born in hell, if it is born in the animal world, if it is born in the unconscious plane, but in the realm where the human world Dhamma is heard. If one is born superstitious, if one is born ignorant in a place where the human world hears the Dhamma, then that animal loses the rare opportunity to understand this Dhamma. So dear, think for a moment, In that sense, there are many instances in the world wh...

The image of Buddha will appear in the corner of your eye       It is extremely rare for a nomadic animal to become human. It is even rarer for a person who has become a human being to have an enlightenment period. It is very rare for a person born in an era where a Buddha was born to hear a Buddhist verse. Only a few fortunate people who have done meritorious deeds before will attain the peace of the Buddha Sarana by applying the heard verse to their lives. Although it is extremely rare to hear about the birth of a human being, the birth of a Buddha, or hearing the Dhamma, it is very common to fall prey to superstitions such as theism and creationism. The Supreme Buddha has pointed out a number of instances where not only deluded people but also some deities have fallen prey to superstitious views and lost the comfort of this world and the hereafter. A person is not wise just because he is a king or a singer, a musician or a dancer. Only a person who is capable of recogn...

King Suddhodana was a righteous administrator. At that time...
