About the blessing Buddha:
- Siddhartha Gautama is “Buddha” which means—the “Awakened One”.
- Born as a royal Prince whose father had safeguarded him against any kind of misery. From the time of his birth until the age of 29, he was given everything that one could desire looks, riches, a beautiful wife, and a healthy son.
- Then at 29, he underwent sickness, old age, and death for the first time. Shattered by what he saw, Goutama realized that all beings were subject to these things, no matter how much they had of worldly goods and grandeur. He could no longer neglect the fact of life.
- So, he went from his home permanently and took up a begging bowl and staff of the Samana to seek the end of his samsara the continuous process of births, deaths, and rebirths.
- Gautama sat under a huge tree that was later called the “knowledge,” or “Bodhi” tree, and proclaimed not to leave it until he achieved the liberating knowledge he aimed for.
- He embarked on a long and difficult time of meditation that culminated in his earning deep insights into human circumstances. Ultimately, in confounding the tricks of the demonic Mara, he believed he did attain Nibbana (or nirvana).
