"Selamat Hari Raya Waisak 2554 bagi kalian yang merayakan!"
Wah, nggak kerasa ya sudah memasuki Hari Raya Waisak lagi... Perayaan Waisak tahun 2010 kali ini dirayakan dengan cukup meriah. Detik-detik Waisak kali ini dilaksanakan pada pagi hari, kurang lebih jam 6. Kalian pasti sudah tidak asing lagi dengan Hari Raya Waisak, bukan? Hari Raya Waisak sudah masuk menjadi salah satu bagian dari kebudayaan Indonesia.
Bagi umat Buddha, Waisak adalah :
1. Hari di mana memulai hidup baru / tahun baru. Hari di mana dosa-dosa dan kesalahan para umat Buddha dihapuskan.
2. Hari di mana Buddha mencapai penerangan sempurna (Arahat).
3. Peringatan terhadap usaha Buddha yang telah membabarkan ajaranNya (Dhamma) selama 45 tahun sebelum Beliau mengalami Parinibanna. Ajaran Buddha adalah : Janganlah berbuat jahat, perbanyaklah perbuatan baik, sucikan hati dan pikiran.
Waisak 2010 dirayakan di Candi Borobudur, Magelang, Jawa Tengah dan dihadiri oleh banyak umat Buddha untuk bersembahyang.
Buddha's Quotes :
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
