Every day eat only a few drops of soup beans body makes him pale and emaciated. "... And this Aggivessana, while minimizing I diet, eating every drop of a, like green bean soup, bean soup or black bean soup small grain or bean soup, my body became extremely emaciated. Because I eat too little, I become like limbs frames that burning grass or vines wither; because I eat too little, you mix my toenails became like a camel; Backbone of the show ...

With a calm mind, not pure bright contaminated, not sorrow, need krill, easy to use, stable, The Additional radial networks to intelligent, recalled many past lives together with an outline and details. It is proving to be the first witness in a soup night. Ignorance killed, intelligent being. Haunted kill, light birth. His ardent mindfulness heliocentric radial to the birth and death of beings. With pure natural label, superman, well see clearly now, the life and death of all living beings. It's Monday intelligent, he witness was in the middle of the night watch. And he continued to spend long radial location, as it's known , "This is suffering, this is the cause of suffering, cessation of suffering and here is this is the way leading to the cessation of suffering.

Upon liberation from ignorance center, the source of all suffering and rebirth, enlightenment period or become illegal except for fullness. [2] Since that time he was honored as the Enlightened One, ranks supreme Buddha or Buddha.

From Vo Thi, beings conceived sorrow, filled with pain, more tears than water in the ocean, but few people who awaken, awakening, clearly suffering, anguish rid off? Only intellectual beings realize the truth of suffering, to understand the causes of suffering, determined to go on road diligently complete renunciation of suffering and ultimate cessation of suffering the customs agency's new achievements only. Enlightenment is interpreted as penetrating the Four Noble and Noble Really Vi t Huat Bodhi language is used not only for cases where the Buddha attained only general has penetrated to the level four feet tall you did.

Due to the cessation of desire to make an end is now. Due to cessation should now be the cessation of suffering ". [5]

Once, when the Buddha was residing in the forest Ambapali, of Vesali, bhikshus He taught: "There is a unique path, the monks, making beings are purified, pass the sorrow, suffering termination benefits, attaining chief justice, enlightenment Nirvana. That is four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four?

In Kalinga Bodhi Body of Story of Buddha (No. 479), the Buddha declared that no place on earth that bear power when he entered and the attainment of such results under the Tree Bodhi at Bodh Gaya (Bodhgaya). Indeed, it was noted moments of magic the Buddha attained Enlightenment, liberal origins path of enlightened beings for thousands of categories.

By signing fossil Asoka, in the 10th year after taking the throne, the king had visited Bodh Gaya and build a separate building for Vajra red sandstone, with elaborately carved lines under disengage- problem, where the Buddha sat for 49 days and nights and enlightenment.

From the 2nd century to the 12th century, Bodhgaya is where many Sangha practice and kings, Buddhists gather to pay homage to the regular worship.

However, from the 13th century to the 18th century, relics Bodhgaya not beyond the historical fate of Indian Buddhism. Monuments abandoned as no one seems to remember anymore.

By the early 19th century, Mr. A. Cunningham - archaeologists, Buddhists and is a British architect with the Burmese king of Bodh Gaya alive. 

Early 20th century, Mr. Edwin Arnold, author of The Light of Asia ( The Light of Asia ) is the first person called on Indian authorities to transfer to Bodhgaya Buddhist. Who can tell the biggest movement in the book calls for management of Bodh Gaya to Buddhists Hindus from the hands of laymen as Anagarika Dharmapala. Later he was ordained, to live fully for enlightenment ideal.

Pilgrims at the root of the Bodhi worship the situation for everyone, not just one person, but there is a consensus as to the most invisible thread connecting together the life segment, which is subject to the same rules immutability of human life - suffering. Therefore, the first prayer is still pleading for peace to yourself and your loved ones to overcome suffering. And then the prayer: "Give me practicing sustainable media, most expect a terminal date to the Enlightenment as he has." From childhood until now rose wild and ever after, make sure no one claiming to have not a hard time. Vow to follow His path has opened the way to get to the destination as his spiritual masters and monks, it is the wish of all who set foot on the focus when the land is enlightenment.

Many Buddhists believe that enlightenment in one place, right where the bridge somewhere far away, there once Buddha charm to land, no conditions are also the same practice at home. He had one of his, her sister had a reasonable, if actual returns, the diligent practice Bodhgaya already here; which everyone agrees.
