Buddhanussati Meditation

Buddhanussati Meditation




The Buddha is our teacher. The Buddha showed us the path to Nirvana. If you think about the Buddha, and meditate it is called Buddhanussati Meditation.

The Buddha destroyed all the ills that came in to the mind. He did not commit evil. Therefore he should be worshipped, and venerated. That is why the Buddha was named Arahant.


රහසත් පව්                       නොකොට
කෙළෙසරයනුත්                 දුරුකොට
නිසිවූයෙන්                                පුදට
අරහ යන නම කියති               මුනිුට

                                      (බුදුගුණ අලංකාරය)
