Today is the day of Buddha Purnima.
The day of Mahatma Buddha's birth,
The day of His enlightenment,
And the day of His nirvana.
Buddha Purnima.
Buddhism is very rich in its philosophy and rituals.
It has given such beautiful tenets.
Buddham Sharanam Gacchami.
Sangham Sharanam Gacchami.
Dhammam Sharanam Gacchami.
Buddham Sharanam Gacchami - Take refuge in an Enlightened Master, not in your intellectual suppositions.
No matter how intelligent you may be,
No matter how good you may be at giving discourses,
No matter how many books you may have written.
But, you should know that for spiritual upliftment - take refuge in an Enlightened Master, Awakened Master.
It is possible that you may not have such association all the time,
And even if you have continuous association, there are so many limitations to it.
Therefore, Sangham.
It must have been so important for Buddha to break the personal ego,
That He advocated refuge in the Sangha,
Refuge in people like us?
We can take refuge in a Master; do as the Master says.
But to take refuge in discipline? Take refuge in aspirants?
Yes, take refuge in the aspirants.
Take refuge in those like yourself.
Because the dream and discipline they are part of - that is given by Buddha.
And Dhammam Sharanam - Refuge in His Teachings.
Dhamma.
Buddha has taught - create a distance. That's all.
Create a distance from events;
Create a distance from people,
Create a distance from the body.
Create a distance from the thought processes.
Create a distance from the current emotional phases.
This much sadhana (spiritual practice) He has taught.
Just a piece of wood very very near to your eye, and you can't see the big Himalayas in front of you .
And if the same piece of wood is moved away a little,
You can see the piece of wood as well as the Himalayas.
Very clearly.
This happened by creating a distance.
Instantly distance yourself from events,
Just give a suggestion to yourself. 'Two steps - three steps back'
And you will literally realise that you are moving a little away from the event.
You will experience a difference in your feelings as the doer and enjoyer (of consequences).
Watch the movie, that's all.
If someone goes to a cinema and says, "I have got a ticket in the first row!"
It is a good thing for a play.
But for a movie?
You will have to keep looking up like this
Just create a little distance, that's all.
Refuge in the Enlightened Master,
Refuge in the Sangha - Aspirants,
Refuge in His Teachings.
