Chapter 10, THE SARMON AT BENARES

~Summary~

 -by Betty Renshaw

Buddha as a Prince

Gautama Buddha was born as a prince named Siddhartha Gautama in Northern India. At twelve, he was sent for schooling in Hindu sacred scriptures. Four years later, he returned home and got married to a princess. They had a son. They lived a royal life for ten years.

गौतम बुद्ध का जन्म उत्तरी भारत में सिद्धार्थ गौतम नाम के एक राजकुमार के रूप में हुआ था। बारह साल की उम्र में, उन्हें हिंदू पवित्र ग्रंथों में स्कूली शिक्षा के लिए भेजा गया था। चार साल बाद, वह घर लौट आया और एक राजकुमारी से शादी कर ली। इनके एक बेटा था। वे दस वर्ष तक राजसी जीवन जीते रहे।

Gautama Feels Sufferings of the World

He was protected from the sufferings of the world. One day, he saw a sick man, an old man, a funeral procession and a monk begging for money and food. This moved Buddha and he then went out to seek enlightenment.

संसार के कष्टों से उनकी रक्षा हुई। एक दिन, उसने एक बीमार आदमी, एक बूढ़े आदमी, एक अंतिम संस्कार के जुलूस और एक साधु को पैसे और भोजन के लिए भीख माँगते देखा। इससे बुद्ध द्रवित हुए और वे फिर ज्ञान की तलाश में निकल पड़े।

Gautama Seeks Enlightenment

He travelled aimlessly for seven years and then he stayed under a peepal tree until he attained enlightenment. After seven days, he got enlightened and renamed the tree as Bodhi Tree (Tree of Wisdom). There, he began to teach and share his knowledge and became known as Buddha.

उन्होंने सात वर्षों तक लक्ष्यहीन यात्रा की और तब तक वे एक पीपल के पेड़ के नीचे रहे जब तक कि उन्हें ज्ञान की प्राप्ति नहीं हो गई। सात दिनों के बाद, उन्हें ज्ञान प्राप्त हुआ और उन्होंने पेड़ का नाम बदलकर बोधि वृक्ष (ज्ञान का वृक्ष) रख दिया। वहां, उन्होंने अपने ज्ञान को पढ़ाना और साझा करना शुरू किया और बुद्ध के रूप में जाने गए।

Buddha Gives his First Sermon

Buddha preached his first sermon at the city of Benares. It is the holiest of the dipping places on the river Ganges. This sermon reflects Buddha’s wisdom about the kind of suffering that is impossible to interpret.

बुद्ध ने अपना पहला उपदेश बनारस शहर में दिया था। यह गंगा नदी पर डुबकी लगाने का सबसे पवित्र स्थान है। यह उपदेश बुद्ध के ज्ञान को उस तरह के दुख के बारे में दर्शाता है जिसकी व्याख्या करना असंभव है।

Kisa Gotami’s Story

Kisa Gotami had only one son who had died. She carried her dead son in her arms and went door to door asking for medicines for her dead child. The neighbours pitied her but could not help her as her son was dead. They were as helpless as Kisa and couldn’t go against the will of God. Finally, somebody suggested that she should go to the Sakyamuni, the Buddha. Kisa Gotami went to meet Gautama Buddha. Gautama told her to bring a handful of mustard seeds from a house where death had never knocked at the door. Kisa thought that it was a very easy task. She went to all the houses in the village but couldn’t find a single house where death had not taken a beloved away.

She sat down, hopeless and tired. She soon realised that she was being very selfish in her grief. Death is common to all.

किसा गोतमी का एक ही पुत्र था जिसकी मृत्यु हो चुकी थी। वह अपने मृत बेटे को गोद में लेकर घर-घर जाकर अपने मृत बच्चे के लिए दवाइयां मांगती थी। पड़ोसियों ने उस पर दया की लेकिन उसकी मदद नहीं कर सके क्योंकि उसका बेटा मर चुका था। वे किसा की तरह बेबस थे और ईश्वर की इच्छा के विरुद्ध नहीं जा सकते थे। अंत में, किसी ने सुझाव दिया कि उसे शाक्यमुनि, बुद्ध के पास जाना चाहिए। किसा गोतमी गौतम बुद्ध से मिलने गई। गौतम ने उसे एक घर से एक मुट्ठी सरसों के दाने लाने को कहा जहाँ मौत ने कभी दरवाजे पर दस्तक नहीं दी थी। किसा ने सोचा कि यह बहुत आसान काम है। वह गाँव के सभी घरों में गई, लेकिन एक भी ऐसा घर नहीं मिला, जहाँ मौत किसी प्रियजन को न ले गई हो।

वह बैठ गई, निराश और थकी हुई। उसे जल्द ही एहसास हो गया कि वह अपने दुःख में बहुत स्वार्थी हो रही है। मौत सबके लिए आम है।

Buddha’s Reply to Kisa Gotami

The life of morals is troubled, brief and combined with pain. It is not possible to avoid death. As the ripe fruits are in danger of falling, as the earthen vessels made by the potter break, similarly the mortals have the danger of death. Wise men and fools, all fall in the power of death. Only the wise do not grieve and they accept the reality. All weeping and grieving will bring more pain and sufferings to the body. One, who is composed, will obtain peace of mind and will be free from sorrow and be blessed.

नैतिकता का जीवन परेशान, संक्षिप्त और दर्द से संयुक्त है। मृत्यु से बचना संभव नहीं है। जैसे पके हुए फलों के गिरने का भय रहता है, जैसे कुम्हार के बनाए हुए मिट्टी के पात्र के टूटने का भय रहता है, वैसे ही मनुष्यों के लिए मृत्यु का भय बना रहता है। बुद्धिमान और मूर्ख, सभी मृत्यु के वश में पड़ जाते हैं। केवल ज्ञानी ही शोक नहीं करते और वे यथार्थ को स्वीकार करते हैं। सभी रोना और शोक करना शरीर में और अधिक पीड़ा और पीड़ा लाएगा। जो शांत है, वह मन की शांति प्राप्त करेगा और दुःख से मुक्त होगा और धन्य होगा।

Conclusion of The Sermon at Benares

The chapter – The Sermon at Benares explains one of the holiest preachings of Lord Buddha that ended the suffering of a grieving mother, Kisa Gotami who lost her son. By accepting the truth of life, she freed herself from unending pain.

अध्याय – बनारस में धर्मोपदेश भगवान बुद्ध के सबसे पवित्र उपदेशों में से एक की व्याख्या करता है जिसने एक दुःखी माँ, किसा गोतमी की पीड़ा को समाप्त कर दिया जिसने अपने बेटे को खो दिया। जीवन की सच्चाई को स्वीकार कर उन्होंने खुद को कभी न खत्म होने वाले दर्द से मुक्त किया।
