Bodhi Day 2025: Gautam Buddha's thoughts will provide a new way of life, and you will never fail

News Topical, Digital Desk : Bodhi Day 2025: Bodhi Day is celebrated every year on December 8th. This is the sacred day when Prince Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya and became Gautam Buddha. This day reminds us of Buddha's teachings, which not only show the right path to life but also inspire a person to never fail. Let's take a look at Gautam Buddha's thoughts on the auspicious occasion of Bodhi Day.

Thoughts of Gautam Buddha

1. "Aap Deepo Bhava" (Be your own lamp)

Meaning: Buddha taught us not to depend on anyone else in our lives. Find your own path through your own wisdom, intelligence, and efforts. When you begin to find solutions to your own problems, the chances of failure are reduced.

2. "Holding on to anger is like holding a hot coal with the intention of throwing it at someone else; you only get burned."

Meaning: Anger burns a person from within and destroys their ability to think. Therefore, a calm mind and clear thinking are essential for success. Freedom from anger helps us make better decisions and strengthens relationships.

3. "The past is gone, the future has not yet come. Only the present is near. Life is in this."

Meaning: We should neither dwell on the past nor dwell on the future. We should focus on the present. Simply put, focusing on the present leads to greater success in our endeavors. It prevents us from falling into the habit of "I'll do it tomorrow" and makes every moment worthwhile.

4. "What we think, we become."

Meaning: Our thoughts shape our personalities. Positive thinking leads us to success. If you believe in yourself and think about it, you will succeed.

5. “It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then victory will always be yours. No one can take it away from you.

Meaning: Defeating one's own evils, weaknesses, and negative habits is more important than defeating external enemies. Self-control and self-improvement are the greatest victories. A person who conquers himself is not afraid of any challenge in life and never fails.
