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               මුනිඳුට

                                      (බුදුගුණ අලංකාරය)

Dhammapada

"Better than a thousand hollow words
Is one word that brings peace.

Better than a thousand hollow verses
Is one verse that brings peace.

Better than a thousand hollow lines
Is one line of the law, bringing peace.

It is better to conquer yourself
Than to win a thousand battles.

Then the victory is yours."
