Medicine Buddha statue | |
|
Buddha called himself
the healer of the
suffering world and
explained that his
Dharma (teaching) was
his medicine. In
Tibetan Buddhism, the
image of Buddha with
his bowl of herbal
elixers is used to
invoke his healing
presence. Gautama
Buddha was born in
563 b.c. in northeast
India. The Buddha was
the son of the King
of the Sakyas.
Suddhodana, who ruled
at Kapilavastu, on
the border of Nepal.
His mother was Queen
Maya. He was named
Siddhartha. He lived
amidst the pleasures
of palace life and at
age 16 he was married
to Princess
Yasodhara. They had a
son named Rahula.
After seeing a
decrepid old man, an
invalid, and an
ascetic beggar, he
learned of suffering
and decided to
embrace asceticism.
Soon afterwards, at
age 29, Siddhartha
left the palace and
his family and went
to a hermitage where
he became the monk
Gautama, or, as he is
still called,
Sakyamuni (The
ascetic of the
Sakyas). One day,
meditating under a
sacred figtree, he
attained perfect
illumination (Bodhi).
He had become a
Buddha. From there
on, he traveled and
preached for 44 years
what was to become
one of the main
religions of the
world.
