Yesterday was Buddha Purnima and I tried to strengthen my Vipassana meditation at Global Vipassana Pagoda, Gorai. Buddha Purnima was the same full moon day when Gautama The Buddha was born, became enlightened and passed away!
Since this blog is about things around money, I googled “Buddha & Money”. Here’s a few links that’s interesting.
Buddha’s Money Management Plan
If you approach money with craving, hatred and delusion, it will drive you blindly and suffering will follow. But what if you could you escape those forces and relate to it with generosity, love and wisdom? That’s possible, and doing so is real money mastery. With self-awareness you use money, it doesn’t use you. Whether they have a lot or a little, people who have mastered money are self-confident, energetic and creative.
What Can The Buddha Teach You About Saving For Your Dream Trip
Well, I believe that nobody can teach you anything unless YOU are ready to learn. And that includes the Great Buddha too.
Infact immediately after his Enlightenment, the Buddha was wondering whether or not he should teach the Dharma to human beings. He was concerned that, as human beings were overpowered by greed, hatred and delusion, they would not be able to see the true dharma, which was subtle, deep and hard to understand.
However, BrahmÄ Sahampati interceded and asked that he teach the dharma to the world, as “there will be those who will understand the Dharma”. With his great compassion to all beings in the universe, the Buddha agreed to become a teacher.
