19th May 2008 Buddha Poornima

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buddha

undertook various spiritual practices in order to realize his true

Self. But none of these practices could show him the path to Nirvana

(liberation). Ultimately, he realized that Nirvana lies in making use

of the five senses in a sacred manner. He understood that Japa

(repetition of God’s name), Dhyana (meditation), Yajna (ritual of

sacrifice), Yoga, etc. were mere physical activities. These spiritual

practices are needed only for those who are attached to the body. One

who abides in the Self need not undertake any of these practices.

Buddha taught that Nirvana can be attained only by cultivating Samyak

Drishti (sacred vision), Samyak Vaak (sacred speech), Samyak Shravanam

(sacred listening), Samyak Bhavam (sacred feeling) and Samyak Kriya

(sacred action).
