Buddha Quotes

             Buddham Saranam Gacchami।

             Dhammam Saranam Gacchami।

             Sangham Saranam Gacchami।

The Tathagata Buddha told his disciples to give a message of love, compassion and peace to the universe.

     Tathagata Buddha had numerous disciples. One of them was, 'Purna.' His sadhana was completed. So he said to the Buddha, 'Tathagata, now you give me permission.

    I want to go out now and spread my message to as many needy people as possible.

   Tathagata said, 'Okay. I have permission. But tell me first, where are you going?

    Purna said, 'Tathagata, there is a small region called Sukha in Bihar.

    Where none of us have yet become a bhikkhu and the people there have not benefited from his teachings. So I deliberately chose this region for propaganda. '

    Tathagata said, 'Oh, no bhikkhu has gone there, there is a reason for this. The people there are very bad!

    If you go there, they will probably insult you, so what will you do? '

    Purna said, 'Tathagata, I will thank them. Because they just insulted. Swearing, etc., but not if killed. '

    Tathagata said, 'Suppose someone really hit you, what would you do?'

     Purna said, 'Tathagata, still I will thank them. Because they just hit me, not my life. '

     Tathagata said, 'Now I ask you another, last question. What would you do if one of them killed you? '

     Purna said, 'Tathagata, even in this state, I will be indebted to him. Because, they gave me life. Otherwise, I might have moved on. '

     Satisfied with this, the Tathagata Buddha said, 'Purna, you have passed my test. Now you can preach wherever you want.

    Because wherever you go, everyone will think you are your family. No one in the world can hurt someone whose heart is always full of such love. '
