Sakyamuni Buddha: A Brief History of Buddha's Life (Picture)

We thank the great Sakyamuni Buddha, who left infinite spiritual treasure for mankind with great wisdom.

-----Zhuge Changqing

The founder of Buddhism is Sakyamuni Buddha.

He dedicated himself with great wisdom and enlightened all living beings, which is admirable.

To understand Buddhism, we should understand the brief history of Sakyamuni Buddha.

Zhuge Changqing suggested that you go to Wuxi Lingshan Buddha to worship Buddha, learn about Sakyamuni Buddha and learn the wisdom of Sakyamuni Buddha when you have time.

Before Sakyamuni was born, he was a Bodhisattva and lived in the inner courtyard of Dou Pi Tian for 4000 years.

Sakyamuni observed that five causes (time, place, country, family, parents) had matured, and decided to be born in the world, and to take Madame Moya as the mother to help all living beings.

1. Childcare

Sakyamuni, riding a six-tooth white elephant with a white lotus in its mouth, descends to Pilawei in the north of India, and enters the fetus from the left rib of the wife of King Jingfan, Mohamoya. Sakyamuni said in the womb that it was the heavens. This is the "living fetus" phase of the "Qi Xin Lun".

2. Birth

On April 8, Sakyamuni was born from the right rib of Madame Moya, and was born under the carefree tree in Lumbini Garden, becoming Prince Siddhartha. The prince can walk down to the ground, walking seven steps in a week, producing lotus flowers step by step, and looking around, he said: "I am the only one in the sky and the earth." At this time, there were two dragons, one spit warm water, the other spit cold water, and gave him a bath. This day is called Buddha Bathing Day, or Buddha Bathing Day.

3. To become a monk

The prince saw the impermanence of old age, disease, death and other sufferings in the world, and he had the idea of cultivation. On a moonlit night, the prince resolutely abandoned his throne, wealth and wife and left the palace quietly. He was determined to seek the truth of relieving the pain of life in the remote mountains and forests. At dawn, the prince arrived at Rama Village, shaved his hair, put on his cassock, and sent a waiter to drive back to the city to report to King Jingfan that he had become a monk. The prince was 29 years old.

Zhuge Changqing: Sakyamuni Buddha made a great wish to enlighten all living beings at the age of 29.

4. Subdue the Devil

After six years of asceticism in the forest of asceticism, the crown prince is thin and has not yet seen the Tao. So he gave up his asceticism, accepted the confession of the shepherds' chyle, and recovered his health. The prince came to a nearby big bodhi tree, laid the Vajra seat with auspicious grass, and sat upright in the east, swearing: "If I don't prove it today, the supreme bodhi would rather break this body than end up with this seat!" He sat quietly under the tree for 49 days, overcoming all kinds of "magic barriers" inside and outside.

5. Cheng Dao

After six years of practice, he finally became a Buddha under the Bodhi tree. On the eighth day of April, when I saw the stars at night, I suddenly understood that all things are caused by the reason that there is no self. "What I do is not more acceptable (the body of life and death)", and achieved the "supreme and equal enlightenment". The world respected him as "Buddha" (meaning the Awakened One), and the holy name was "Sakyamuni". He was 35 years old. Sakyamuni said when he became a Taoist priest, "Amazing, Amazing! All living beings on the earth have the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, but it cannot be proved by paranoid persistence." He pointed out that all living beings have Buddha nature.

Zhuge Changqing: The words of Buddha's epiphany should be remembered by every practitioner.

6. Runner

After Shakyamuni became a Taoist priest, he went to Luyeyuan to spend the five monks, and then spent more than 1000 people in succession. Sakyamuni led 1250 disciples around the world to preach Buddhism. Sakyamuni promotes the wheel of the right Dharma, breaks down heresy and promotes the Dharma, which is called "turning the wheel of the Dharma". For 45 years, Sakyamuni went deep into the people and said that he would save all living beings.

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha, how amazing it is! It has been promoting Dharma for 45 years and benefiting all the people in the world.

7. Nirvana

It is also called extinction. That is, when Sakyamuni was 80 years old (at that time, people generally lived 40 to 50 years old, so the Buddha's 80 years old was equivalent to 160 years old today), knowing that his life was about to end, he left the so-called Wang Shecheng, and came to the sakusa tree near the Guanshi Naga, with his head facing north, his right hand supporting his face, his left hand on his body, his feet together, took the position of lying on his side, facing west, and entered the state of great nirvana (great liberation). Before entering the annihilation, he told disciple Ananda: "All that have been accomplished will perish. Don't let it go. Practice my Dharma frequently. After I perish, I will take precepts as my teacher.".

Zhuge Changqing: People will always remember him for his dedication. Thanks to the great Buddha, you have worked hard all your life to benefit the common people. (This article refers to the basic information of the Buddhist encyclopedia network)

amitabha. Don't do any evil, and do all good. Persistence and responsiveness.

Zhuge Changqing wishes all the people who are destined to respect their parents and do good deeds and accumulate virtue rich and auspicious!

佛祖释迦牟尼佛：佛祖人生简要历程（图）

我们感谢伟大的释迦牟尼佛，他用大智慧给人类留下无限精神宝典。

----- 诸葛长青

   佛教创始人是释迦牟尼佛。

   他用大智慧奉献自己，启迪众生，令人敬仰。

    了解佛教，应当了解释迦牟尼佛的简要历程。

   诸葛长青建议大家有时间可以去无锡灵山大佛去拜佛，了解释迦牟尼佛并学习释迦牟尼佛的智慧。

   释迦牟尼降生前，原为菩萨，住在兜率天内院，历经4000年。

   释迦牟尼观察5种因缘（时间、地点、国家、家庭、父母）已经成熟，便决定降生人间，要以摩耶夫人为母，度化众生。

   1、托胎

   释迦化乘六牙白象，象口含白色莲花，下降北天竺迦毗罗卫国，从净饭王夫人摩河摩耶的左肋入胎。释迦在胎中为诸天说法，此即《起信论》，所开“住胎”之相。

   2、出生

   四月八日，释迦自摩耶夫人右肋出胎，诞生于兰毗尼园的无忧树下，成为悉达多太子。太子下地能走，周行7步，步步生莲花，并且举目四顾，自谓：“天上地下，唯我独尊。”这时有二条龙，一吐温水，一吐凉水，给他洗浴。此日即为佛浴日，或称浴佛日。

   3、出家

   太子看到世间老、病、死等无常之苦，而产生修道之念。在一个月明之夜，太子毅然抛弃王位、财富和妻子，悄悄离开王宫，决心到深山僻林中去寻求解脱人生痛苦的真理。黎明，太子抵达罗摩村自剃须发，披上袈裟，并遣侍者车匿回城向净饭王报告他已出家。太子时年29岁。

   诸葛长青：释迦牟尼佛29岁立下启迪众生的大愿。

   4、降魔

   太子在苦行林中修六年苦行，形体枯瘦，仍未见道。他便放弃苦行，受牧女乳糜之供，恢复了健康。太子来到附近一株大菩提树下，以吉祥草敷设金刚座，东向端身正坐，发誓：“我今若不证，无上大菩提，宁可碎此身，终不起此座！”他在树下静坐49天，克服了内外的种种“魔障”。

     5、成道

   经过六年修行，终于在菩提树下成佛。四月初八日，夜睹明星，豁然悟透一切事物缘起无我之理，“所作之办，不更受有（生死之身）”，成就“无上正等正觉”。世人尊称他为“佛陀”（意为觉者），圣号“释迦牟尼”，时年35岁。释迦牟尼成道时说：“奇哉，奇哉！大地众生皆有如来智慧德相，但以妄想执着，不能证得。”指出一切众生皆有佛性。

   诸葛长青：佛祖顿悟的这句话是每一位修行者要铭记的。

   6、转轮

   释迦牟尼成道后，先赴鹿野苑度化五比丘，以后陆续又度化了1000余人。释迦便率领1250徒众，周游各地，宣讲佛法。释迦推动正道佛法之轮，碾破异端邪说，弘扬佛法，称为“转动佛法之轮”。在45年中，释迦深入民间，说法普度众生。

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛，多么令人赞叹啊，弘法45年，造福天下苍生。

   7、涅槃

   或称入灭。即释迦牟尼八十岁时（那个时代，人们一般寿命四五十岁，所以佛祖的八十岁，相当于今天160岁），自知阳寿将尽，便离开说法的王舍城，来到拘尸那迦附近的娑罗双树下，头朝北，右手支脸，左手放置身上，双足并拢，取侧卧之势，面向西，进入大般涅盘（大解脱）之境。 入灭前嘱咐弟子阿难：“已成者皆灭，不可放逸，要勤修我法，吾灭后以戒为师。”。

   诸葛长青：为人奉献的，人民永远记住他。感恩伟大的佛祖，你辛苦一生造福苍生，功德无量啊。（本文参考佛教百科网络基础资料）

  阿弥陀佛。诸恶莫作，众善奉行。持之以恒、有求必应。
