Buddha's Birth

[Ngawang Drolma]

Today is Lord Buddha's birth, enlightenment and parinirvana (or latter two). Today is Lord Buddha's birth, enlightenment and parinirvana (or latter two). I am so grateful that out of such great compassion the nirmanakaya Buddha took a human birth to give us the precious dharma. Praises to him, his teachings, and his life!




Here are some words from Muni at The Buddha Blog:

On the special birthday, the wish for freedom for all sentient beings by so many; is the result of the great kindness of Buddha Shakyamuni, his wonderful teaching.

May all sentient beings see the dream of the cloudlike cage and be free in the vastness of genuine peace.

Yes indeed, happy birthday to our kind teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha, the one who first showed us the path to enlightenment!

However, it was my understanding that the actual date of Buddha's birth is not known. I read a preface to a book by the Dalai Lama in which he says that finds it very embarrassing as a Buddhist that the actual date of Buddha's birth is not known for sure.
