ATTAINMENT OF ENLIGHTENMENT AS BUDDHA

Having vanquished the army of Mara, the Future Buddha sat cross-legged at the foot of the Bodhi tree with the firm resolution that he would not get up from his seat until he attained the supreme wisdom of a Buddha , and went into deep meditation . He acquired in the first watch of the night the knowledge of previous existences; in the middle watch of the night , the divine eye with which he could see the beings of all thirty-one planes of existence dyig and being reborn; and in the last watch of the night, he gained the bliss of complete emancipation. Thus on Wednesday the full moon day of Visakha(April-May) 103 the Great Era at dawn, the Great being attained the Supreme Enlightenment of a Buddha.

THE FUTURE BUDDHA BEING ATTACKED BY MARA THE EVIL ONE JUST BEFORE HE ATTAINED ENLIGHTENMENT

After eating the milk-porridge offered by Sujata, the Future Buddha took his noonday rest on the bank of the Neranjara, in the cook and pleasant shade of a grove of sal trees. And at nightfall he went towards the Bodhi tree. On the way he received from a grass-cutter named Sotthiya eight handfuls of grsss and sat down cross-legged on that grass. He made the mighty resolution : "I will not stir from this seat until I have attained the supreme and absolute wisdom". Many higher and lower gods with Sakka came near the Future Buddha.

The god Mara, the Evil One , saw the Future Buddha seated in that unconquerable position and knew that he was sure to become a Buiddha. He went back to his celestial realm and brought his army drawn out for battle. He grasped a variety of weapons himself and sounded the warcry "Advance! Seize!" to frightedn the Great Being . But the Future Buddha won a peaceful victory over Mara with the power of loving kindness. which he had practised in his many past lives just as a mother would tame a cruel and wicked son with her maternal love.

THE FUTURE BUDDHA RECEVING THE MILK-PORRIDGE OFFERED BY SUJATA

There lived in the village of Senani near Uruvela forest, a girl named Sujata. She had uttered a prayer for fulfillment of her wish at a banyan tree, and owed a yearly offering to it, the most she should have a good marriage and a son as her first born child. The wish having been fulfilled, she use to make an offering every year at the banyan tree. Now the Great Being had resumed taking usual food, because he found that the austerities he practiced for full six years were not the way to enlightenment.

On the full moon day of the month Visakha (April-May) the Future Buddha who had attained 35 years of age, was sitting under the banyan tree. Sujata caught sight of the Future Buddha and supposing him to be the tree-god, her benefactor, who had come down, offered him milk-porridge in a golden bowl that was worth a hundred thousand pieces of money. He proceeded to the banks of the Neranjara and ate the food. He took the bowl to the river bank and set it on the river saying " The most today I shall be able to became a Buddha, let this bowl go up- stream". It floated up-streamed.

The future Buddha made the great struggle and his body became emaciated

Having become a monk, the future Buddha sought for teachers and found two renowned Brahmin teachers. Alara Kalarma and Uddaka Ramaputta. He acquired from them the method of meditation leading only to mundane superhuman power. But not satisfied with it, he ceased to practise it . And being desiroius of attaining Enlightenment he continued his search and went to Uruvela grove. He entered Senani village an begged for his food from house to house and ate his meal. He thought to himself that having to go on a begging round for food in itself was a hindrance to his ascetic practices and began to practices the Great Struggle. The great Struggle is an austere practice which is beyond human endurance of an average person. He tried various plans such as, abstaining from rice meal and living on fruits which dropped from trees then on fruits which dropped drome the tree under which he sat., then living on one fruit , one sesamum seed or one grain of rice a day. By this lack of nourishment his body was reduced to skin and bones and lost its golden colour and became dry and black.

THE FUTURE BUDDHA CUTTING HIS HAIR TO BECOME A MONK

The Future Buddha who left the city at midnight on his Great Renunciation came to the bank of the Anoma (Illustrious) River at day-break. He gave the signal to his horse with his heel, and the horse sprang over the river, which had a breadth of eight usabhas (an usabha is 140 cubits or 210 feet), and landed on the opposite bank. He handed over to Channa his ornaments and the horse, Kanthaka, and asked him to go back home with them. He then cut his hair with the sword on the sandy beach of the Anoma.

Then the Future Buddha seized hold of his top-knot and threw it into the air, saying-"If I am to become a Buddha, let it stay in the sky; but if not, let it fall to the ground. And Sakka, the King of the gods, received it in a golden casket, and established it in the Heaven of the Thirty-three Gods as the Culamani Ceti (Shrine of the Diadem). After that, the Future Buddha put on the robes, the symbol of asceticism, brought by the Maha-Brahma god, Ghatikara, and became an ascetic. His garments, made of Benares cloth, were taken away by Ghatikara, and established in the realm of the higher gods as the "Dussa Shirne.

MARA. THE EVIL ONE, PERSUADING THE FUTURE BUDDHA TO TURN BACK ON THE POINT OF HIS DEPARTURE FROM THE CITY

Coming away from Yasodhara's chamber, the Future Buddha descended from the palace and rode on the mighty steed, Kanthaka, already saddled and bridled for the journey with Channa holding on by the tail. He issued forth on the Great Renunciation and arrived at midnight at the great gate of the city. At this moment came Mara, the Evil one, with the intention of persuading the Future Buddha to turn back; and standing in the air, he said , " Sir, go not forth! . On the seventh day from now the Wheel Treasure will appear to you. Sir, Turn back!"

The Future Buddha replied as follows: " Mara, I know that the Wheel Treasure was on the point of appearing to me; but I do wish for sovereignty. My sole desire is to become a Buddha and save the world of gods and men". He then departed from the city in great splendor surrounded by higher and lower deities on all sides, the divinity that guarded the city gate having opened it for them.

MARA. THE EVIL ONE, PERSUADING THE FUTURE BUDDHA TO TURN BACK ON THE POINT OF HIS DEPARTURE FROM THE CITY

Coming away from Yasodhara's chamber, the Future Buddha descended from the palace and rode on the mighty steed, Kanthaka, already saddled and bridled for the journey with Channa holding on by the tail. He issued forth on the Great Renunciation and arrived at midnight at the great gate of the city. At this moment came Mara, the Evil one, with the intention of persuading the Future Buddha to turn back; and standing in the air, he said , " Sir, go not forth! . On the seventh day from now the Wheel Treasure will appear to you. Sir, Turn back!"

The Future Buddha replied as follows: " Mara, I know that the Wheel Treasure was on the point of appearing to me; but I do wish for sovereignty. My sole desire is to become a Buddha and save the world of gods and men". He then departed from the city in great splendor surrounded by higher and lower deities on all sides, the divinity that guarded the city gate having opened it for them.

Just Before his great renunciation, the future Buuha went to the chamber of princess Yasodhara to see his son

When the future Buddha was 29 years of age he went to the park and saw the Four Signs, namely an old man, a sick man, a dead man and monk, whom the higher gods had fashioned. He was afraid to continue to live a worldly life and his mind turned ardently to retiring from the world, He said to himself. " It behooves me to go forth on the Great Renunciation this very day" . At that very moment he received a message that a son had been born to him.

He then returned to the palace and lying on his couch, fell into a brief slumber. When he awoke he saw the female musicians sleeping round him in disgusting condition. The spectacle seemed like a cemetery, and fill with loathing for his worldly life, he made up his mind to renounce the world at once. He ordered his courtier Channa to saddle his horse Kanthaka. He then walked to the chamber of Yasodhara to look at his son for the first time.

Wedding Ceremony of Prince Siddhattha

When the future buddha was sixteen years of age, his father King Suddhodana sent official intimation to hi relatives asking them to send their daughters to be married to his son. There arose the following discussing among his relatives, who were Rulers of their own states; "Siddhattha is of handsome appearance but is not well trained in any manly art." They did not , therefore comply with the request of King Suddhodana. The King told his son what his relatives had said about him, when the Prince agreed to show his proficiency as the best bowman of the day.Consequently the most distinguished bowmen of the city were assembled in the place grounds. The future Buddha placed them at four different points and directions round him while he stood in the centre. He then said to them. " you must shoot your arrows at me all at the same time". When the signal to shoot was given, the four archers shot their arrows at him all at once. The Prince defended himself by shooting an arrow which flew like lighting and hit all the four arrows coming in his direction. He thus exhibited his skill, such as none other bowmen could equal. Hi father's relatives then sent their daughters, beautiful maidens,of whom the Prince chose Princess Yasodhara whom he married by celebrating a grand wedding.
