History of Ephemeral (40): Buddha Shakyamuni

The prince honored most of them and traveled outside the city to drive a luxury car.

The three gates encountered old age and death, but the northern monk Le was liberated.

Shaved for six years, cleansed his body and begged for milk and even Zen River.

Sitting under the Bodhi tree, dawn is revealed, and the Four Noble Truths become ancestral Buddhas.

Note: Shakyamuni: Name Siddhartha, whose father was King Kapilava (ancient Indian Shakya). According to the Buddhist scriptures, one day, Siddhartha drove out of Kapilava City in a luxury car. When he went out of the three gates of the east, south, and west, he saw the old man, the sick, and the dead, but when he went out of the north gate, he saw a monk who was peaceful and carefree. After that, he ignored the persuasion of his father and king and resolutely became a monk to practice. He practiced in the ascetic forest for six years, after which he gave up his asceticism to bathe in the Nilian Zen River and cleansed the milk of the cattle herders after his death. He meditated under the Pypara tree (i.e., the Bodhi tree) outside Gaya. Finally, at the end of the day, the "Four Noble Truths" were realized, and Buddhism was born. The Four Noble Truths: Suffering, Collection, Annihilation, and the Tao. At the age of eighty, he entered Nirvana in the woods of the Shura Forest in the kingdom of The Corpse. According to legend, this day is the twenty-fifth day of February in the old calendar of our country.
