"We save ourselves! By awakening to wisdom" - The Buddhist world of awakening 21

Hello. I am a Buddhist disciple living in Japan. I would like to share with you the main points of the Buddhist scriptures. This podcast contains parables and simple expressions which represent the essence of the Sutras he true teachings of the Shakyamuni Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. I sincerely hope that this podcast will provide you with guidance in your encountering of the awakened person in daily life and provides you with fresh answers to your life's situations. In this issue, we will hear about the appearance and virtues of people who have awakened to wisdom. Let's listen to "Buddha's Appearance and Virtues" together. This passage from the podcast was excerpted and edited from "Teachings of the Buddha" published by Bukkyo dendo kyokai. The name means "Buddhist Missionary Association" in Japanese, and has an office in Minato-ku, Tokyo. You will have access to Buddhist scriptures translated into languages from around the world. The part we will listen today, I think, needs to be heard with delicate attention. Because you would mistake Buddha for "God". I believe Buddha is just a man. I believe Buddha is just a man who has awakened to wisdom. Buddha is not a superhuman being. So Buddha is not an object of faith, nor is he a 'savior'. Buddha does not have super-scientific supernatural powers. The true wisdom he awakened, we should also awaken, we should live the broad path of enlightened practice, Even if it is a hard road. We save ourselves! By awakening to wisdom. Buddha is our best senior. We should realize the true wisdom that he has awakened. Please,listen to it with full attention.
