It is difficult for many people who face this kind of experience at a really young age to manage this experience properly. In short, it is unbearable. What I am going to say can be a girl or a boy, it is common to both. The first thing is what is love? What is a breakup? This love is the beginning of a chemical process in the brain for someone we like and love. In a way, this is a trap. It is like long-term use of a drug. When you think this is love, it is also caused by passion. Sometimes, if this process is caused by someone, this process will continue for a long time, and the same lifestyle we used to live will also change with this.We don't feel it. But when someone is married because of love or desire, the life after that is completely different from the life before it. Day by day this f...

How did the Buddha attain great enlightenment

Image
How did the Buddha attain great enlightenment Ascetic Siddhartha Thausa realized the middle path (walking the middle path away from both extremes of pleasure and excessive suffering) after practicing Anapanasati meditation (concentration on inhalation and exhalation). Seeing his emaciated appearance caused by suffering, the goddess Sujata, who mistook him for a god who had fulfilled her wish, presented him with a gift of "Kiripidu"( milk powder). Then Siddhartha Tausano decided to sit at the root of the Asatu tree, now known as the Bodhi tree in Buddhgaya, and not get up until he found the truth. Thinking that he had abandoned the search for truth, Kondangna and the other four ascetics left his discipleship. After 49 days of meditation, he attained enlightenment at the age of 35. According to some, it happened in the fifth lunar month, and according to others, it happened in the twelfth  month. Gautama Bodhisattvas were then known as Buddha, or "Enlightened One". In...

Gautama Buddha's exemplary and correct vision

Image
Exemplary  The whole character of Buddha is exemplary. If he is a true leader, he should be exemplary. His followers are led by the leader. Lord Buddha, who engaged the first sixty arahath in the work of dharma mission, went to Uruvel Danauva a to spread the dharma, setting an example for the followers. Some leaders engage their followers in certain activities, but they do not engage in it themselves. There are instances throughout the Buddha's character where the Lord Buddha gave advice to others and he also acted in that advice. It is also exemplary that the Buddha, who criticized the casteism taught by the Brahmins, appreciated the equality of individuals and gave the opportunity to settle down to the people of all four castes.  Being born in a Kshatriya caste, despite the ability to eat sweet food, walking on the highway, giving alms only during the day, sometimes wearing earthen robes, almsgiving etc. are examples of exemplary leadership characteristics of Lord Buddha.

Therefore, the two words 'upasaka' and 'upasika', which are commonly used to refer to the lay people in Buddhism, are limited to the elderly in current usage. If a young man listens to sermons and cultivates a righteous life, why is the girl disappointed in the world right now? He has to hear sarcastic remarks from his peers like In the temples on Poya days, the elderly people are mostly seen.   Elderly people who spend the twilight of their lives in leisure are more inclined towards religion. According to this, some people think that Buddhism is a religion that applies to people who are close to the afterlife after suffering all the hardships of life.
