CHAPTER 11

Religion, Morality and Ethics

A lot of teachings given by the Buddha can be adopted and applied in our life. They are used as the moral guidelines for people to live together peacefully and behave properly without exploiting others.

The Story of the Buddha The Buddha was formerly a prince named

Siddhartha (สิทธัตถะ). He was born in the

district of Lumbini (ลุมพินี) and was raised in

a palace with all the comforts as his father, the king of Kapilavastu (กบิลพัสดุ์), never allowed him to go outside the palace with

the purpose of keeping him away from the pain and suffering of the world.

When Prince Siddhartha grew up and became a young man, his father

got him married to Princess Yasodhara (ยโสธรา), with the hope that the prince would never want to leave the palace.

One day, Prince Siddhartha went out of the palace and came across different people: a sick man, an old man, a dead man and a monk, which

caused him to decide to leave the palace and seek ways to end suffering.

UNIT 11

The Story of the Buddha

3

Prince Siddhartha practised self-mortification first until he found out

that it was not the right thing to do. Then, he figured out another way to seek enlightenment which was meditation. So, he devoted himself to

meditation. Prince Siddhartha sat under the Bodhi tree (ต้นโพธิ์) to meditate

until he attained enlightenment and became the Buddha. The Buddha

decided to spend the rest of his life teaching others about ways to end suffering.

The Buddha passed away at the

age of 80 in Kushinagar (กุสินารา) after spending many years teaching

and disseminating his sermons to people.

Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta (ธัมมจักกัปปวัตตนสูตร) is the first teaching delivered by the Buddha after he attained enlightenment. The main topic of this teaching is the Four Noble Truths (อริยสัจ 4).

Buddhist doctrines are aimed at teaching people to avoid all evil, do all good and purify their mind.

The important religious days in Buddhism are the important days when

certain major events occurred in the Buddhist history. Buddhists usually go to a temple to listen to Buddhist doctrines or Dhamma, make merit and offer food to monks.

The Three Admonitions The Three Admonitions (โอวาท 3) are the Buddha’s teachings and regarded

as the core doctrine of Buddhism which consist of: 1. Not to do any evil.

2. To cultivate good.

3. To purify the mind.

The Triple Gem or ‘Rattana Tri’ (รัตนตรัย) ‘Rattana Tri’ is a Pali word. ‘Rattana’ (รัตนะ) means gem while ‘Tri’ (ตรัย) means three.

The Triple Gem or ‘Rattana Tri’ means the Three Gems consisting of the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha.
