✨🌈 Hello everyone! I have a very important topic to talk about today. It's about one of the most important parts of the Buddha's teachings, the chapter "The Life Span of the Tathagata: Chapter 16" in the Lotus Sutra! ✨
"Buddha" means the enlightened one =^_^=
- 📘 What kind of story is "Tathagata's Life Span Chapter 16" where the mysteries of Buddha are revealed? What do you think "Buddha" is? Many people may feel that he is in a very distant world and is no longer in this world. However, the story "Tathagata's Life Span Chapter 16" in the Lotus Sutra tells us something very important!
- 🌟 1. The Buddha is alive forever! In this story, the Buddha teaches us that "I am actually alive forever." Everyone was worried that "the Buddha must have passed away..." but in reality, he was just pretending to be that way for "people's sake." He is always watching over us, wherever we are. That is the Buddha.
- 🌟 2. The Buddha's "death" was a strategy to awaken everyone! But why did the Buddha pretend to be "dead" to us? It was so that we could believe in the Buddha's teachings, and so that we could realize our true selves and become Buddhas!
- 🌟 3. Buddha is not a distant being. There is a seed of Buddha in everyone's heart! "Buddha is so great that it seems impossible to become one..." That's not true. This story teaches us that "each and every person has a seed in their heart that can become a Buddha." Kindness and a willingness to do one's best. If we nurture these seeds carefully, anyone can grow into a wonderful person.
- 🌟 4. "Namu Myoho Renge Kyo" is a word of determination! You may have heard "Namu Myoho Renge Kyo". This is not just a word, but an expression of strong determination in the heart that says "No matter how painful or sad things are, I will do my best and move forward!" It contains the courage to change yourself and hope for a bright future.
- 🌟 5. The parable of the kind doctor (the Buddha's deep compassion) In the Tathagata's Life Span, there is also a story about a "good doctor" whose father devises a plan for his sick children. The Buddha also has such deep compassion that he wants to help his children take their medicine, even if it means telling them a kind lie.
- 🌟 6. This story is the most important climax of the Lotus Sutra! The Sixteenth Chapter on the Life Span of the Tathagata is the most important climax of the Lotus Sutra! Here, a special poem called the "Jigage" is spoken. It conveys a powerful message to us: "Anyone can become a Buddha. Let's be happy together!"
- 🎁 Summary This story warmly tells us that "Buddha is always with you, no matter where you are" and "You have seeds of kindness and courage inside you." It is a story that gives us energy and hope, making us think, "Let's take care of ourselves and live our lives," and "Let's take care of our friends and the people around us" at all times.
