The day of Buddha Purnima is very special because along with the birthday of Gautam Buddha, he also attained enlightenment and Mahaparinirvana. Such a coincidence happens rarely with a great man.
Let us tell you that Mahatma Gautam Buddha, who gave the message of happiness, peace, kindness and compassion, was born on the day of Buddha Purnima in 563 BC, on the same day in 463 BC, he attained Mahaparinirvana at Kushinagar in Deoria district. Apart from this, he had attained complete enlightenment on this day and he became Mahatma Gautam Buddha from Prince Siddhartha. Buddha Purnima is also called "Vaisakh Purnima" because it is celebrated in the second month of the Hindi calendar. Although this festival is celebrated by every religion nowadays, in Buddhism, this festival has its special significance.
Gautam Buddha, who considered truth and non-violence as the basis of his life and the originator of Buddhism, was a spiritual leader, based on whose great ideas, teachings, and the foundation of Buddhism were laid.
Born as a prince named Siddhartha, Gautam Buddha was kept away from worldly sorrows and sufferings by his father in his childhood, because in his childhood of Gautam Buddha, a great scholar had predicted that he would either become a majestic or a wise man. Will become a king or become such a spiritual master and leader who will be worshipped for ages.
After hearing the prophecy of the pundit, his father kept Prince Siddhartha away from religious and worldly knowledge for many years and did not allow him to hear any thoughts about suffering, pain, death, illness, and suffering.
He was not even allowed to come out of the palace, but once when Siddhartha insisted that he would be taken to see the city, he saw a helpless elderly, sick and a dead body, after seeing this his mind was disturbed and he renounced all his pleasures and worldly attachments and went out for self-knowledge and self-contemplation and then after many years of rigorous penance, he attained supreme knowledge on the day of Buddha Purnima.
Then later, one of the largest religions in the world was established Buddhism based on the teachings of Gautam Buddha.

Teachings of Gautam Buddha -
Gautam Buddha, who believed in truth and non-violence as the basis of his life, taught people to follow the path of truth and asked them to show mercy to living beings and strongly condemned animal sacrifice. Some of the teachings of Mahatma Gautam Buddha are as follows –
Mahatma Gautam Buddha has said in his teachings that man should not think about his past, that is, his past and should not worry about the future, but a man should give his best to make his present golden. Then only they can be happy in their life. Buddha says don’t dwell on the past; don’t think about the future, focus your mind on the present moment.
According to Mahatma Buddha, anger is the biggest enemy of man, because a person who does not have control over his anger, many times he takes decisions, which harm him the most, so man has to control his anger.
It is obvious that due to doubts, many relationships break and families are torn apart. That's why sceptical people should pay attention to this teaching of Mahatma Gautam Buddha, Gautam Buddha has said that the habit of doubt is the most dangerous and terrible, nothing worse than this, because if there is doubt in one's mind, it directly affects the relationship.
Mahatma Buddha told in this sermon that even if a man may fight a thousand battles, he can't be a winner until he does not win over himself, all his victories are in vain. Therefore conquering himself is the real victory of man.
Gautam Buddha said that the sun, moon and truth can never be hidden. The sunsets, but we all know it will rise again in the morning. When the sun sets, the moon rises and when the sun reappears, it sets. In other words, something that exists can be hidden for a certain period, but it will always reappear and the truth is the same. You can manipulate or hide the truth, but at some point, the truth will be revealed.
"Hatred does not cease by hatred but only by love; this is the eternal rule."- Gautam Buddha
Many other teachings of Gautam Buddha will change your life:
God has made every human being equal. The difference is just inside our brains.
Think of the good things - we become what we think. So think positive things and be happy.
Build your path - we are born alone and die alone. That's why no one else can decide our fate except us.
Time went by does not come back - We often think that if a work is left unfinished today, it will be completed tomorrow. However, the time that has now passed will not come back.
Understand the importance of every day - a person takes a new birth every day. Every day is for fulfilling a new purpose, so understand the importance of each day.
Every experience teaches something - every experience is important because we learn from our mistakes.
Happiness is in our mind - happiness is not in things that money can buy, but happiness is in how we feel, how we behave and how we respond to others' behaviour. So real happiness is in our brain.
Conquer ourselves - Before proving anything in front of others, we must prove ourselves. Every human being competes with himself first. Therefore, before we can win over others, we must win over ourselves.
Every human has the right to discover his world.
Health is wealth - if you are healthy then you are happy. If the activities of the body and mind were working properly, then everything becomes correct automatically. That's why it is most important to take care of your health.
