Buddhist view of the pregnant mother

Image
  Mother is the embodiment of supreme human compassion. That is why every woman who becomes a mother is related to the Buddha path. It was because of this reality revealed by Buddhism that mother  was so enamoured of Buddhist culture that she wished to become Buddha. Women who are about to become mothers and women who have become mothers are the heirs of that treasure of loving affection. It is accepted in Buddhism that one must have merit before becoming a mother. Because sin interferes with the position of mother. According to Buddhist philosophy, three things must be fulfilled to become a mother. that is,  Both parents are together  The mother is pregnant  Presence of a gandhabba It is clear that a pregnant mother cannot become a pregnant mother if one of the above mentioned three points is not fulfilled in this doctrinal teaching. Here the arrival of a Gandhabba is called the attachment of a soul to the embryo in the womb. This event is taught in Buddhism as...

Buddhist view of war and peace

Image
  When you hear the word war, various thoughts such as fear, dread and so on will come to your mind. War is terrible. Voluntary. is destructive. The civilised world does not condone war of any kind. How to build peace without war is one of the main topics discussed in the world today. Military figures are seen almost everywhere. In such an environment, let us consider it important to understand the Buddhist view on war and peace. Buddhism excludes war because it destroys life. Buddhism condemns war on the basis of large-scale destruction of human beings, animals and trees. See pages. There is no room for war anywhere in Buddhism, which also focuses on the unethical actions of one person. Even during the Buddha's time, the Buddha strongly disapproved of killing animals for sacrifices. In the Brahmana Dhammika Sutra mentioned in the Sutta Nipata,  Napa Drana Vinasena Nassau Hinsati Kenachi Gavo Plaka Samana - Sorana Kumbhaduhana...  It is said that the cruelty that comes fr...

Evolutionism and Buddhism - Buddhist view of evolution

Image
Describe evolution.This will be described in various ways by different people. Change is the definition of evolution. It is a product of transformation's cultural origin. Many different prefixes and suffixes are used with this form. As a result, this word's meaning remains relatively constant while also having multiple meanings. such as co-evolution and evolution However, it is now frequently employed to explain biological evolution. With regard to the theory of evolution, Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace stand out. However, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's hypothesis of evolution is also regarded as significant in science. I believe it is necessary to first comprehend this biological process. Simply described, bioevolution is the process through which organisms' architecture and behaviours organically adapt to the ecosystems they live in. Many arguments were made to explain this, but they were quickly abandoned because the then-current religions were utterly opposed to ...

According to Buddhism, sport creates a good person

Image
Buddhism says that we should not be swayed by the Atalo Dharma of gain, loss, good, bad, pleasure, pain, reproach and praise. But because of an effort to go only for victory, a lot of conflicts are created. Sports should not create conflicts in children, but to produce a good child. Prince Siddhartha's childhood was spent in sports. Prince Siddhartha learned all the arts from the Brahmin Sarvamitra. It is correct to say that he reached the end of swordsmanship, archery etc. as well as other arts. Nowadays, the main aim of children as well as parents is to study Shastra well and not to pay more attention to arts. However, we have to pay more attention to sportsmanship. The child and the game are like bark to the tree. Sports are a great help for the child to enter a good society, especially to become a physically and mentally well-rounded child. Are the three parts of the game, the child and the parent, functioning properly? The minds of the boys and girls are severely strained beca...

Image
When a monk was living in a forest in the southern region, a middle-aged gentleman who came on pilgrimage asked a question, 'Monk, does the world belong to God? To Brahma?' Then the monk asked him, 'Sir, why are you looking for the creator of this world?' Then the gentleman said, ``Reverend, I have been living with a problem since I can remember. Went to every temple.The problems have increased but not decreased. There is no one else to tell my questions now that it has been said. So I ask you? To whom shall I seek refuge?' he asked. A very impulsive question. To whom do I say this sadness? Who owns the world? Who gave me this sorrow? This is the question the gentleman is asking. The monk asked why you came to this holy place. He takes a vow to Chaitya and Bodhi. At that time, the monk said, 'Gentlemen, no one created the world. Your problems were not caused by anyone else. The results you get due to the evils that you have caused yourself are the failure of tho...
