Vesak: Birth of the Buddha | Dhamma Talk by Ajahn Dhammasiha | Visakha Puja | Birth of Bodhisatta


Listen Later

Today is the most important day in the Buddhist calendar: Vesak / Visakha Puja, celebrating the birth, Supreme Awakening, and final Parinibbāna of the Buddha.

As it's also Mother's Day in the Western calendar, Ajahn Dhammasiha speaks about the birth of the Bodhisatta, and the marvellous qualities of the Bodhisatta and his mother.

Strictly speaking, we shouldn't refer to him as the 'Buddha' at his birth, but rather as the 'Bodhisatta', as he wasn't enlightened yet. However, the little baby could walk 7 steps and announce that it's his last birth immediately after delivery.

You can read how the Buddha himself described the events surrounding his birth in:

  • Majjhima Nikāya / Middle Length Discourses, #123 'Acchariya-Abbhuta-Sutta' / 'Wonderful and Marvellous'.
