After taking many detours, Lezhi wants to tell all simple and kind people: as a rational person, whether you want to believe in Buddhism or God, you must first objectively understand the origin and development of this belief, whether its core idea has deviated in the process of thousands of years' inheritance, and more importantly, whether it has violated universal values ... Otherwise, it is easy to enter the misunderstanding of superstition and waste your precious life.
Buddhism was born in ancient India more than 2,500 years ago, and was founded by Gautama Siddharta, the prince of Kapilovi Kingdom (now Nepal) in ancient India.
Buddha is an awakened person, an awakened person, that is, a person who has great wisdom after constantly learning wisdom and correcting his words and deeds. Buddha is Sakyamuni, the sage of Sakyamuni family. His real name is Siddhartha Gautama, and he abandoned his splendor to seek real and long-term happiness.
Buddhism is the education of Sakyamuni Buddha, just as Confucianism is the education of Confucius, it is a real education rather than superstition. The definition of Buddhism is also very strict, stipulating that only what Sakyamuni himself said can be called Buddhism.
Three months after Sakyamuni's nirvana, when 500 arhats assembled Buddhism for the first time, they only assembled Sutra and Dharma. The first sentence at the beginning must be' if I smell it', which means I heard what the Buddha said. Therefore, some apocrypha were also written at the beginning ... At the same time, the Ministry of Public Affairs privately collected classics, laws and papers, as well as forbidden curses and miscellaneous notes.
Bodhisattva, headed by the top ten disciples of Buddha, is the disciple who sits closest to Buddha Sakyamuni and listens to Buddha's teachings most truly. The mass department is a disciple who stayed away from Buddhism and later joined Buddhism, including other religions who converted to Buddhism. Please note that the mass department here later called itself Mahayana Buddhism, and then belittled the seat as Hinayana Buddhism. In fact, the so-called Hinayana Buddhism is closer to Sakyamuni's education, and the most authentic Buddhist scripture is Zaagama. Those who really practice Buddhism should pay attention to removing superstitious rumors in Buddhist scriptures ... Hinayana Buddhism, no matter how different, admits that the four noble truths and the eight right paths are the most important enlightenment of the Buddha.
We shouldn't waste precious lives. The personal experience of Sakyamuni more than 2,000 years ago tells us that the most beautiful meaning of life is not to pursue fame and fortune, nor to devote oneself to superstition, but to be truly happy ... that is, to make yourself and others live a better life by constantly learning wisdom and correcting words and deeds, and then to obtain truly long-term happiness!
