Tears welled up in Buddha's eyes as he struck the stone


- Mist became Moti- Kumarapala Desai

After doing hard sadhana for attainment, Siddhartha, who was meditating under a pipla tree on the banks of Niranjana river, attained Param Gyan (Bodhi). He became a 'Buddha'. During his travels, many people adopted his teachings. He broke down the description and denounced the instinct of corporal punishment. Explained the importance of renunciation and celibacy and guided the people by forming a huge union.

Such a Mahatma Buddha was resting in a park outside the town. A group of children came and saw a mango on a mango tree and tried to break it. While trying to throw a stone at Carrie, who was hanging high, a stone hit Lord Buddha on the head and blood started flowing from it.

The monks came running. There was a commotion all around. Who is the one who stoned Lord Buddha to death? Seeing this situation, the children felt that now Lord Buddha would rebuke them in harsh words. He should be punished for doing so. To get out of this, the children ran to Lord Buddha and grabbed his feet and started apologizing.

Lord Buddha was watching the scene at a detached price. He fell into deep thought and in a few moments tears began to flow from his eyes. The children were terrified. One of the gang members apologized and said, "We made a big mistake. We hurt you so much. We had no intention, but it happened. We brought tears to your eyes. "

Lord Buddha said, "Dear children, no, I have not shed tears because of you. The reason is very different. "

The head of the congregation asked, "Then why the tears?"

Lord Buddha said, "Children, if you hit a mango tree with a stone, that tree will give you sweet fruit in return and if you hit me, I can only frighten you."
