Some Buddhism

Om mani padme hum

Just before the Buddha's awakening he was meditating seated under a tree. In his austerity he fasted. One day a woman named Sujata came upon him in the woods. She was carrying some rice pudding which she had intended to offer to her diety.

Sujata looked at Buddha and thought he was dead; suddenly he slightly lifted his head. Sujata ran to his side and gently fed him the rice pudding. Doing this she saved his life. At 34 years old he enlightened.

When Buddha had awakened he travelled India with his sangha, a community of monks and nuns. In one village Buddha was offered food by a blacksmith named Chunda, who had also prepared food for the entire sangha. When food was about to be served Buddha told Chunda he wanted to eat the food prepared for the sangha. Chunda complied. The Buddha ate this food and became unintentionally poisoned. As the Buddha lay dying from food poisoning, at the age of 80, his sangha was grieving and angry at Chunda.
The Buddha spoke and said, "In this life I had two meals that I enjoyed the most. One was by Sujata and the other by Chunda."
