Verses about Sakyamuni Buddha’s Enlightenment
1. About Sakyamuni Buddha
1. Sakyamuni Buddha became a Buddha long ago. Because he was grateful for the suffering sentient beings in our Saha world, he started from samadhi. The process of becoming a Buddha is revealed in the human realm. In fact, Shakyamuni Buddha has come to our world to save sentient beings and has made eight thousand trips back and forth. This is recorded in the Brahma Net Sutra. After transforming all sentient beings, Nirvana appears. But it was not death, but the World Honored One returned to concentration. Otherwise, after the World-Honored One manifested the sign of cessation in the Saha world, he went to heaven to preach to his mother. The Ksitigarbha Sutra was spoken at that time, and then he showed the sign of cessation again in the heaven.
Even Sakyamuni Buddha cannot violate cause and effect. Miraculous powers cannot defeat karma, so in Buddhism we must understand cause and effect.
2. The Buddha was born in 623 BC. He became a monk at the age of 29, became enlightened at the age of 35, and preached the Dharma for 45 years. At the age of 80, the Buddha showed the sign of Nirvana under the Salo tree. It is difficult to wait for the great disciples to compile the Buddha's daily words and deeds into classics. Buddhist sutras are all spoken by the Buddha himself. Ananda served the Buddha for twenty-five years and was a disciple of the Buddha. He is known as the "first in hearing". Basically, all the sutras of the Buddha were spoken by Ananda, and then by other disciples. The eldest disciple added.
The "Sixth Patriarch's Altar Sutra" appeared in the late Tang Dynasty. It records the Sixth Patriarch Huineng's experience of obtaining the Dharma and his teachings. It was collected by his disciple Fahai and later expanded.
Sakyamuni Buddha is the leader of our Saha world. The Saha world is bittersweet and has all kinds of disadvantages, which are not as good as the pure land. However, this is also the reason why we help the way. 2. Verses about Taoism

1. A person’s life is like this, desire is like sand in the hand, the tighter you hold it, the more you lose. Only when you learn to let go and be willing to give up can you truly gain. Gains and losses are only relative terms; when you think you have gained, you may be losing; when you feel you have lost, you may be gaining. If there is no intention to gain, there is no loss.
2. The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, illness, death, parting from love, long-lasting resentment, not being able to get what you want, and not being able to let go. Buddha said: Destiny is created by oneself, appearance is born from the heart, everything in the world is transformed into appearance, if the heart does not move, everything will not move, if the heart does not change, everything will not change.
3. If you love me, you will be lovely everywhere in life. If you hate, you will hate everywhere in life. If you are grateful, you can be grateful everywhere. If you grow, everything can grow. The world didn't choose you, you chose the world. Since there is nowhere to hide, it is better to be silly and happy. Since there is nowhere to escape, it is better to be happy. Since there is no pure land, it is better to meditate. Since you didn't get what you wanted, it's better to be relieved.
4. Stop complaining about how difficult life is, and stop hating how hard life is. Only by enduring hardship can one become a master. As time goes by, all the hardships will naturally be replaced by sweetness, and this rare sweetness can only be enjoyed by understanding life.
5. With a broad heart, you will be healthy for a lifetime. Have a tolerant heart and you will be happy for a lifetime. With a kind heart, you will have no regrets for the rest of your life. Have a compassionate heart and you will be safe for a lifetime. Have a childhood heart and you will be young all your life.
