Filsafat Budha

Jika mampu, tolonglah mereka. Jika tidak mampu, paling tidak janganlah menyakiti mereka

Orang yang rendah hati dan ingin belajar dapat lebih maju

Orang yang pendapatnya masuk akal tidak pernah bertindak kasar

Rigpa Glimpse of the Day On that momentous night when Buddha attained enlightenment, it is said that he went through several different stages of awakening. In the first, with his mind “collected and purified, without blemish, free of defilements, grown soft, workable, fixed and immovable,” he turned his attention to the recollection of his previous lives. This is what he tells us of that experience: I remembered many, many former existences I had passed through: one, two births, three, four, five . . . fifty, one hundred . . . a hundred thousand, in various world-periods. I knew everything about these various births: where they had taken place, what my name had been, which family I had been born into, and what I had done. I lived through again the good and bad fortune of each life and my death in each life, and came to life again and again. In this way I recalled innumerable previous existences with their exact characteristic features and circumstances. This knowledge I gained in the first watch of the night.
