Lord Buddha's last words were sharp and direct - he said "Appo Deepo Bhava" - "be a light unto yourself"

[johnnyrosales]

Budha didn't ask people to worship him he taught how to be enlightened.

As Dalai Lama said, the highest form of yoga is happiness. Buddhist enlightenment is happiness without attachment. Thank you Life Momentum for this video. The Hermann Hesse writing of Siddhartha also speaks of how enlightenment is achieved.

"This is of great significance for you all. Meditation has to become something so deep in you that wherever you go it remains, abides with you; whatsoever you do it is always there. Only then can your life be transformed. Then not only will you be meditative in your life, you will be meditative in your death too. You will die in deep meditation.

That’s how Buddha died. That’s how all the Buddhas have always died: their death is something exquisitely beautiful. Their life is beautiful, their death too. There is no gap between their life and death. Their death is a crescendo of their life, the ultimate peak, the absolute expression. When Buddha died he was eighty-two years old. He called his disciples together – just as he used to when he talked to them every morning. They all gathered. Nobody was thinking at all about his death.

And then Buddha said, ”This is my last sermon to you. Whatsoever I had to say to you I have said. Forty-two years I have been telling you, saying to you... I have poured out my whole heart. Now, if somebody has any question left he can ask, because this is the last day of my life. Today I leave for the other shore. My boat has arrived.”

They were shocked! They had come just to listen to the daily discourse. They were not thinking that he was going to die – and without making any fuss about death! It was just a simple phenomenon, a simple declaration that ”My boat has come and I have to leave. If you have any question left you can ask me, because if you don’t ask me today, I will never again be available. Then the question will remain with you. So please, be kind and don’t be shy, ” he told his disciples.

They started crying. And Buddha said, ”Stop all this nonsense! This is no time to waste on crying and weeping! Ask if you have something to ask, otherwise let me go. The time has come. I cannot linger any longer.”

They said, ’We have nothing to ask. You have given more than we would have ever asked. You have answered all the questions that we have asked, that we could have asked. You have answered questions which for centuries will be fulfilling for all kinds of inquirers.” Then Buddha said, ”So I can take leave of you. Good-bye.”

And he closed his eyes, sat in a lotus posture, and started moving towards the other shore. It is said: the first step was that he left his body, the second step was that he left his mind, the third step was that he left his heart, the fourth step was that he left his soul. He disappeared into the universal so peacefully, so silently, so joyously. The birds were chirping; it was early morning – the sun was still on the horizon. And ten thousand sannyasins were sitting and watching Buddha dying with such grace! They forgot completely that this was death. There was nothing of death as they had always conceived it. It was such an extraordinary experience.

So much meditative energy was released that many became enlightened that very day, that very moment. Those who were just on the verge were pushed into the unknown. Thousands, it is said, became enlightened through Buddha’s beautiful death. We don’t call it death, we call it Mahaparinirvana, dissolving into the absolute – just like an ice cube melting, dissolving into the ocean. He lived in meditation, he died in meditation."

He is the absolute Master, he strictly against animal cruelties and meat eating.
He mentioned that "compassion towards all living lives is the highest form of Dharmic life" and nothing beyonds it.

[garytorresani]

So many Christians who are so into man made doctrine and dogma and a feeling of superiority over others, that they miss the point of what he was teaching.

Through all his years as a teacher, Buddha taught Vipassana meditation, which encompasses all what you said he taught in his final words. Vipassana meditation is the technique he rediscovered to take him to full enlightenment. He taught this to hundreds of thousands in his time and the technique is being taught worldwide free of charge.

Great video, this is to moderate self-reliance is good but you can learn from others, did they not learn from the Buddha?, he emphazises so that his doctrine doesnt become like all religions that search externally for God.

“Change da world, my final message, goodbye…”

[patthompson]

Very interesting advice - *self-reliance* as opposed to always seeking help & co-operation from/with our neighbours. 🤔

Very educative. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you. To come to the Mahaparinirvana story. There is a very interesting video on this subject. Please view, 'Mahaparinirvana story, Buddha's last journey.'

Generally I do get inspired by Buddhist teachings. However the importance of self reliance is probably one of the most rudimentary to the mundane life even for the ones who are not interested in any kind of spiritual growth, let alone enlightenm
