Hocus pocus!!

Bible mentioned that Jesus did many miracles. Healed those that are blind, see. Those that are dumb, speak. Walks on water, and eventually rose from the dead. Moses split the sea, leading people out of Egypt, to freedom.

All religion has their own set of miracles, heroes and divine intervention. So what miracles does Buddhism got to offer? Nothing, and I am so happy with being that. Instead, Buddha teaches us to not attached with such. He even forbid his disciples to show feats of miracles.

Me too :) I am happy just being a Buddhist doing the homework that Buddha has laid out for us. For he is the one that walks the path and led many out of the sea of Samsara.


Maha-sihanada Sutta (MN 12)

The sutta mentioned why Buddha having all the powers never like to display them :)
