ReplyDeleteWho is Gotama?
ReplyDeleteSotama is the Buddha. He also is the Illustri ous, the Sskyamuni whi is an enlightenment.
Buddha give to the people of well and ill, in praise and in scorn. He also had performed wonders, had conquenred the devil. hadd spoke with gods. Thus,he usually hope everybody who live in the world give more happier and peace.
ReplyDelete6--I think the knowledge that is everywhere means there is soul-Atman in every creature. Everyone has soul in their mind.
ReplyDeleteDear Phongcahn,I think the answer of No.5 is the eldest Samana will never attain Nirvana. Read page 18......What do you think, dear Rosy?
ReplyDelete10. He had attained Nirvan and never returned on the cycle, he plunged no more into the troubled stream of forms that Siddhartha follow before he reacherd inner peace.
ReplyDelete7--What is the worst enemy of Atman? I think people still have their desires and cannot find a way to attain Nirvana is the worst enemy of Atman.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure my thinking is right or not. I tried to realize the deepest meaning of this question. But......my brain is totally toasted now.
8--I think Gotama is the Buddha, who had conquered in himself and had brought to a standstill the cycle of rebirth. Gotama who wears yellow cloak preaches in many countries and has many disciples. He does not have any possessions, houses and wife.
