LORD BUDDHA

on Human
Dharma
Dr.T.V.Rao MD
 Birth of Gautama Buddha

Buddha's father was Suddhodana, king of
the Sakhyas. Buddha's mother was
named Maya. Buddha was born in B.C.
560 and died at the age of eighty in B.C.
480. The place of his birth was a grove
known as Lumbini, near the city of
Kapilavastu, at the foot of Mount Palpa in
the Himalayan ranges within Nepal.
Lumbini, the Birthplace of the Lord
Buddha

The site is now being
developed as a
Buddhist pilgrimage
centre, where the
archaeological
remains associated
with the birth of the
Lord Buddha form a
central feature.
 Becomes Buddha

Buddha's original name was Siddhartha.
It meant one who had accomplished his
aim. Gautama was Siddhartha's family
name. Siddhartha was known all over the
world as Buddha, the Enlightened. He
was also known by the name of Sakhya
Muni, which meant an ascetic of the
Sakhya tribe.
 The song inspired Gautama
Buddha

Fair goes the dancing
when the Sitar is tuned,
Tune us the Sitar neither
low nor high,
And we will dance away
the hearts of men.
The string overstretched
breaks, the music dies,
The string over slack is
dumb and the music
dies,
Tune us the Sitar neither
low nor high."
What is right understanding

If change was the fact of
life, one must not stick to
One’s longings.

One must understand
that happiness could not
come from outside. I
would come from inside
by knowing it clearly that
all things were transient
in world

One must not crave for
happiness
Purpose of Life

Man must have
purpose in life.

The purpose of life
cannot be anything
else than to attain
liberation from
cravings that lead to
acquire more.
Consequently it
results in sorrow
 Right Purpose of Life

Practice right
purpose in life which
can lead one to
Right action
Right occupation
Right speech
If your purpose in life
is correct, it will lead
one to choose right
profession
Our mission of Life

Man’s mission in life
should not be to
satisfy his own selfish
ends but to help
others.

Do remember all
living beings love life
and all creatures
desire to shun pain
 Be Kind and Good

WHATEVER, after
due examination and
analysis, you find to
be kind, conducive to
the good, the benefit,
the welfare of all
beings; believe and
cling to that doctrine,
and take it as your
guide.
Who is a Good Friend

A man is not to be
considered a good
man just because he
is an able talker.

A GOOD friend who
points out mistakes
and imperfections
and rebukes evil is to
be respected as if he
reveals a secret of
hidden treasure.
Your are the creator of Your
Happiness

Happiness can be
the outcome of doing
good.

We are shaped by
our thoughts; we
become what we
think. When the mind
is pure, joy follows
like a shadow that
never leaves.
Your words create your world

One had better
refrain from incorrect
speech.

The words we utter
should be chosen
with care, for people
will hear them and be
influenced by them
for good or ill.
 What is Best Dharma

Dharma ( duty ) of
human being is not
harm anyone but to
protect and help
everyone.

To live a pure
unselfish life, one
must count nothing
as one's own in the
midst of abundance
 Learn to concentrate

One is to cultivate the
seven factors of
enlightenment:
mindfulness,
investigation into
phenomena, energy,
bliss, tranquillity,
concentration, and
equanimity.
Creating a better Rebirth

Death is not to be
feared so much by
one who has lived
wisely.

Living well favours a
serene death and
rebirth in a happy
state.
Ignorance creates Arrogance

In the ignorance of
the whole truth, each
person maintains his
own arrogant point of
view. If that is your
case, try to make the
best out of it anyway.
 Path to Wisdom

Lack of meditation
leaves ignorance. Know
well what leads you
forward and what hold
you back, and choose
the path that leads to
wisdom.

By taking what is not
given (stealing) one
seldom reaches great
freedom from animosity.
Face the realities with
serenity

Let us try to face
reality squarely,
exactly as it is.

Nothing is permanent.

It is a man's own
mind, not his enemy
or foe, that lures him
to evil ways.
 Escape from suffering

You should free
yourself from
sufferings while there
is time left.

You should seek to
escape becoming a
corrupt corpse while
living .
Creating a Best Family

A family is a place
where minds come in
contact with one another.
If these minds love one
another the home will be
as beautiful as a flower
garden. But if these
minds get out of
harmony with one
another it is like a storm
that plays havoc with the
garden.
Believe to suit consciousness

Believe nothing, no
matter where you
read it, or who said it,
no matter if I have
said it, unless it
agrees with your own
reason and your own
common sense.
 You are creator of your Destiny

All that we are is the
result of what we
have thought. If a
man speaks or acts
with an evil thought,
pain follows him. If
a man speaks or acts
with a pure thought,
happiness follows
him, like a shadow
that never leaves
him.
 Escape the suffering

A wise man, recognizing
that the world is but an
illusion, does not act as if
it is real, so he escapes
the suffering.

Holding on to anger is
like grasping a hot coal
with the intent of
throwing it at someone
else; you are the one
who gets burned.
 Concentrate on present

Do not dwell in the
past, do not dream of
the future,
concentrate the mind
on the present
moment.

Neither fire nor wind,
birth nor death can
erase our good
deeds.
Be contented

Do not overrate
what you have
received, nor envy
others. He who
envies others does
not obtain peace
of mind.
 Life is guided by wheel of
Fortune

His success may be
great, but be it ever
so great the wheel of
fortune may turn
again and bring him
down into the dust

Work out your own
salvation. Do not
depend on others.
Life is Mixture of Good and Evil

Wherever there is light,
there is shadow;
wherever there is length,
there is shortness;
wherever there is white,
there is black. Just like
these, as the self-nature
of things can not exist
alone, they are called
non-substantial .
Best Victory

It is better to conquer
yourself than to win a
thousand battles.
Then the victory is
yours. It cannot be
taken from you, not
by angels or by
demons, heaven or
hell.
What is the Best

Health is the greatest
gift, contentment the
greatest wealth,
faithfulness the best
relationship.

If we could see the
miracle of a single
flower clearly, our
whole life would
change.
Make life easier

Let yourself be open
and life will be easier.
A spoon of salt in a
glass of water makes
the water
undrinkable. A spoon
of salt in a lake is
almost unnoticed.
 Best Prayer is Patience

The only real failure
in life is not to be true
to the best one
knows.

The greatest prayer
is patience

Work out your own
salvation. Do not
depend on others.
