MAHA PAJAPATI GOTAMI REQUESTING FOR PERMISSION FROM THE BUDDHA TO ESTABLISH THE ORDER OF NUNS (BHIKKUNI SASANA).

The Order of Nuns (Bhikkhuni Sasana) was founded in the fifth year of the Buddha's Enlightenment. After the death of King Suddhodana, Maha Pajapati Gotami, who was His former foster mother desirous of joining the Order, approached the Buddha who was then residing at Kapilavathu and begged permission for women to be admitted into the Order. After hearing and turning down their pleas, the Buddha returned to Vesali for the Rains Retreat. Undaunted by the rebuff, Maha Pajapati Gotami cut off her hair and wearing yellow garments went on foot to Vesali, accompanied by many other Sakyan ladies. They stood outside the porch of the Pinnacled Great Hall in Mahavana where the Buddha was residing. Interceded by Venerable Ananda, the Buddha finally consented to establish the Bhikkhuni Sasana when Maha Pajapati Gotami and other Sakyan ladies agreed to observe the Eight Disciplinary Rules for nuns. Henceforth Maha Pajapati Gotami and other Sakyan ladies were admitted into the Order. Later, the Nuns Khema and Uppalavanna were appointed the two Chief Female Disciples; as were Sariputta and Moggalana the two Chief Male Disciples.

 

THE BUDDHA QUESTIONED A HAUNTHY HERMIT, SACCAKA WHO WAS DULY THREATENED BY A CELESTIAL DEMON TO ANSWER ACCORDINGLY, AFTER BEING DEFEATED.

After losing in lively debate, the haughty hermit Saccaka refused to answer accordingly when the Buddha asked a question. Only when he was threatened to be beaten up by a celestial demon for his arrogance, only then did he finally realise his own folly and listened to the Buddha's preaching meekly. This wholesome action of his would augur well for his future.

 

THE BUDDHA PREACHING THE ABHIDHAMMA (HIGHER DOCTRINE) TO HIS FORMER MOTHER , NOW A DEVA AND OTHERS IN TAVATIMSA HEAVEN.

On the seveth year after His Enlightenment, the Buddha preached the Abhidhamma (Higher Doctrine) in Tavatimsa Heaven. As a fulfilment of gratitude to his former mother, now a Santussita deva, the Buddha then delivered a sermon on the Higher Doctrine to thousands of Devas (Gods) and Brahmas (higher celestial beings) who attained the various stages of Noble Sainthood.

 

A BEAUTIFUL LADY, CINCA MANAVIKA FALSELY ACCUSED THE BUDDHA IN THE PRESENCE OF MONKS AND LAITY, AT AN AUGUST ASSEMBLY.

The non Buddhist sectarians grudgingly wanted to ruin the Buddha's reputation. They told Cinca Manvika, a beautiful girl to falsely accuse the Buddha for her sham pregnancy in a big and august assembly. King of Devas (Gods) dispatched some Deities disguised as mice to gnaw through the strings holding a block of wood under her garment. Her plot was exposed when the wood fell on her feet. When the peolpe saw that, they threw stones and chased her away. As she was walking away, the earth split open and a flame sprang up to envelop and drag her down to Avici (deepest and worst) Hell.

 

THE BUDDHA TAMED A CELESTIAL ORGE, ALAVAKA, WHO THEN TOOK REFUGE IN THE TRIPLE GEM IN BUDDHISM.

On the sixteenth year of His Enlightment, the Buddha tamed the carnivorous Demon King, Alavaka who feasted on human flesh, to give up his habit on devouring at least one human being everyday. After hearing the Buddha's Teaching, he henceforth gave up his habit, thus sparing the small child offered to him as food on that day.

 

THE BUDDHA OVERCOMING A CRUEL MAN, ANGULIMALA WHO CUT OFF THE RIGHT INDEX FINGER OF PASSING TRAVELLERS.

There was a young harmless student at TAKKASILA Universrty called Ahimsa. His jealous fellow students poisoned the mind of their teacher against him. As a result the teacher asked Ahimsa for a garland of one thousand right index fingers as tuition fee. Eager to discharge his obligation, he went into the Jalini forest in Kosala and started to waylay the passing travellers to collect an index finger from the right hand of each victim. The garland was almost completed except for one more single finger. Ahimsa decided to kill even his own mother for the sake of completing the one thousandth finger in the garland. However, Ahimsa was intercepted by the Compassionate Buddha who came to his aid. After listening to His preaching and being convinced, Ahimsa now known as Angulimala (garland of fingers) joined the Sangha and became a Bhikkhu (monk). The Angulimala Sutta, a discourse ascribed to this Thera (elder/monk) and connected to this event, is well-known in Buddhist countries and often used by pregnant ladies in travail for easy and safe delivery.

 

THE BUDDHA SUBDUED THE CELESTIAL DRAGON, NANDOPANANDA , THROUGH HIS DISCIPLE MAHA MOGGALANA WHO ALSO TRANSFORMED HIMSELF INTO ANOTHER DRAGON.

Once the Buddha and His Disciple went to Lake Anotatta passing by the mansion of Nandopananda the dragon king who was enjoying himself with his retinue. Angry at the apparent trespassing, Nandopananda coiled itself seven times round Mount meru, coverd the summit with its hood and spewing hot poisonous smoke to prevent the Buddha and his disciples from reaching lake Anotatta. Thereupon Maha Moggalana, (the second Chief Disciple) at once transformed himself into a dragon and likewise coiled round the mountain, crushing Nandopananda. Watched by the Buddha and His disciples, Maha Moggalana too began spewing hot poisonous smoke which greatly distressed Nandopananda who soon lost the challenge and upon realisation of his folly, sought refuge in the Triple Gem of Buddhism.

 

THE BUDDHA EXPOUNDING A DOCTRINE TO BAKA BRAHMA IN THE HIGHER HEAVEN , TO GIVE HIM AND HIS FRIENDS , THE LIGHT OF WISDOM.

Baka Brahma, who was bitten by the snake of tenacious heresay (in believing that the Brahma Loka is the best and everlasting world in existence), was duly defeated by the Buddha in a mutual contest to show power. On hearing the Buddha's profound expounding of the Dhamma (Buddhist Doctrine), he became enlightened along with many other Brahmas (higher celestial beings).

 

THE BUDDHA SUBDUING THE FIERCE , DRUNKENED ELEPHANT , NALAGIRI ; RELEASE BY THE WICKED DEVADATTA.

When the Buddha was on his way to the city of Rajagaha, Devadatta ordered the release of the fierce elephant, Nalagiri to harm Him. As the elephant charged towards the Buddha, everyone ran away leaving a mother and her baby on the ground. The Buddha radiated His infinite Compassion to calm and subdued the elephant before it could trample the helpless baby.

 

THE BUDDHA TAKING CARE OF A SICK MONK AS A FRATERNAL DUTY AND MODEL EXAMPLE FOR HIS MONKS TO EMULATE.

The Buddha taking care of a sick monk, named Tissa who had been neglected by his unthoughtful fellow monks. By so doing , the Buddha wanted to foster mutual care and welfare amongst the Bhikkhus as well as others.

 

MAHAPARINIBBANA - THE BUDDHA'S FINAL PASSING AWAY FOR THE ATTAINMENT OF THE ULTIMATE DELIVERANCE ; AND DONA , THE BRAHMAN DISTRIBUTING THE BUDDHA'S RELICS THEREAFTER.

(a) The Buddha at Kusinara laid himself between two Sal tree with his head to the North, determined not to rise again. He then delivered his last admonition, 'Behold, O Disciples! I exhort you! Subject to change are all component things! Strive on with Diligence!' before He entered Maha parinibbana (attainment of Final Emancipation).
(b) Dona, the Brahman divided the Buddha's relics into eight equal portions and distributed each of them to the Rulers of the eight countries.Then Dona decided that the golden container be kept for himself as an object of respectful veneration.
