Every pilgrim knows the story of how Siddhartha, after accepting the rice milk from the young girl, put aside the rags he was wearing, bathed himself in a nearby river, and, strengthened, sat down in the shade of the Bodhi tree, and began to meditate. It was springtime. The moon was full. Before the sun would rise, Siddhartha’s long search would be over.
“Let my skin and sinews and bones dry up, together with all the flesh and blood of my body! I welcome it! But I will not move from this spot until I have attained the supreme and final wisdom."
All at once, Mara, lord of desire, rose to challenge him. With an army of demons he attacked. Siddhartha did not move, and their weapons turned into flowers.
When he faces Mara he faces himself and his own destructive capacity. But he’s not the warrior trying to do battle with those qualities. He has discovered his own capacity for equanimity. He has become like the top of the Great Himalayan Mountains; the weather is passing over him, storms are raging around him, and he sits like the top of the mountain impassive, not in a trance state, you know, totally aware of everything.
Siddhartha resisted every temptation Mara could devise. The lord of desire had one final test. He demanded to know who would testify that Siddhartha was worthy of attaining ultimate wisdom. And his demon army rose up to support him. Siddhartha said nothing. He reached down and touched the ground, and the earth shuddered. Mara’s demons fled.
sooo is this like meditating were buddha meditated
yup with the blueprint of this place’s energy
what is the benefit we can receive from this mandala?
enlightenment??
This tree is real, and its vibration is embedded in the field. Even today, millions of people gather there to meditate, and it is a highly energetic place.
What effects will you experience? I don’t know. It might raise your vibration, help you meditate more easily, bring you insights, or make you feel calm.
It’s not designed to produce a specific effect, like some of the other fields we create. Whatever this place can give you – it will give it to you in the right way.
This is amazing… I didnt know this excited!!
In Bodhgaya
If you use FO then you HS will decide. If you will use it during meditation then open to experiences, let it go.
