Buddha Purnima kyon manaai jaati hai, iska Itihaas kya hai aur ise kaise manaya jata hai

Buddha Purnima: Prakash aur Gyan ka Parv: Buddha Purnima, jise Vesak ke naam se bhi jaana jaata hai, Buddhist dharma ke sabse pavitra dinon mein se ek hai. Yeh Vaishakh mahine ki purnima tithi ko manaaya jaata hai, jo aam taur par May ke mahine mein aati hai. Yeh tyohaar na keval Bharat mein balki poore vishwa mein Buddhist communities dwara bade hi dhoom-dhaam se manaaya jaata hai. Yeh din hamein shanti, karuna aur gyan ke marg par chalne ki prerna deta hai, jaisa ki Bhagwan Buddha ne hamein sikhaaya.

Buddha Purnima kyon manaai jaati hai?

Buddha Purnima ka mahatva isliye hai kyunki yeh Bhagwan Buddha ke jeevan ki teen sabse mahatvapoorna ghatnaon se juda hua hai:

Janm: Lagbhag 563 BCE, Rajkumar Siddhartha Gautam ka janm Nepal ke Lumbini naamak sthaan par hua tha. Yeh purnima ka hi din tha jab Maya Devi ne unhein janm diya.
Gyanoday: Bodh Gaya (vartmaan Bihar, Bharat) mein ek peepal ke vriksh ke neeche kathor tapasya karne ke baad, isi purnima ke din Siddhartha Gautam ko Buddhatva prapt hua. Is din unhein param gyan ki prapti hui aur ve 'Buddha' kehlaaye, jiska arth hai 'jaagrit' ya 'gyaanvaan'.
Mahaparinirvana: Lagbhag 80 varsh ki aayu mein, Kushinagar (vartmaan Uttar Pradesh, Bharat) mein Buddha ne apna nashwar shareer tyaag diya aur Mahaparinirvana ko prapt hue. Yeh bhi Vaishakh Purnima ka hi din tha.

Chunki yeh teeno mahatvapoorna ghatnaayein ek hi tithi par hueen, isliye Buddha Purnima Buddhist anuyayiyon ke liye ek atyant pavitra aur mahatvapoorna din ban gaya. Yeh din Buddha ke jeevan, unki shikshaon aur unke dwara dikhaaye gaye shanti aur karuna ke marg ko yaad karne aur uska anusaran karne ka avsar pradaan karta hai.

Buddha Purnima ka Itihaas

Buddha Purnima ka itihaas 2500 se bhi adhik varsh puraana hai, jab Rajkumar Siddhartha Gautam ne saansarik dukhon se mukti ka marg khojne ke liye apna rajsee jeevan tyaag diya tha. Varshon ki tapasya aur dhyaan ke baad, unhone Bodh Gaya mein gyan prapt kiya aur Buddha bane. Iske baad, unhone apna shesh jeevan logon ko dharma ka marg dikhaane mein bitaaya.

Buddha ki mrityu ke baad, unke anuyayiyon ne unki shikshaon ko aage badhaaya aur Buddhist dharma dheere-dheere poore Asia mein fail gaya. Buddha Purnima ka utsav bhi isi dauraan shuru hua, halaanki iske shuruaati swaroop ke baare mein nishchit jaankaari uplabdh nahin hai. Samay ke saath, vibhinn Buddhist communities ne apni paramparaon aur reeti-rivaajon ke anusaar is din ko manaana shuru kar diya.

Bharat mein, Samrat Ashok ke shaasankaal mein Buddhist dharma ko vishesh protsaahan mila aur Buddha Purnima ka mahatva aur bhi badh gaya. Unhone Buddha ke sandeshon ko door-door tak phailaane mein mahatvapoorna bhoomika nibhaai.

Dheere-dheere, Buddha Purnima na keval ek dhaarmik tyohaar bana raha, balki yeh shanti, sahishnuta aur karuna ke moolyon ka prateek bhi ban gaya. Aaj, duniya bhar ke Buddhists is din ko bade utsaah aur shraddha ke saath manaate hain, vibhinn prakaar ke dhaarmik aur saanskritik kaaryakramon ka aayojan karte hain.

Buddha Purnima kaise manaai jaati hai?

Buddha Purnima ka utsav duniya bhar mein alag-alag tareekon se manaaya jaata hai, lekin kuch aam prathaayein hain jo har jagah dekhi jaati hain:

Vihaaron mein jaana: Buddhist anuyayi is din vihaaron (Buddhist mandiron) mein jaate hain, vishesh praarthana sabhaaon aur dhaarmik anushthaanon mein bhaag lete hain.
Upvaas aur daan: Kai log is din upvaas rakhte hain aur gareebon aur zaroorat mando ko daan karte hain. Yeh karuna aur udaarta ke Buddha ke updeshon ka paalan karne ka ek tareeka hai.
Praarthana aur dhyaan: Buddha ki shikshaon ka smaran kiya jaata hai aur shanti aur gyan ki prapti ke liye praarthana aur dhyaan kiya jaata hai.
Buddha ki murtiyon ki pooja: Buddha ki murtiyon ko phoolon se sajaaya jaata hai aur un par jal chhidka jaata hai, jo shuddhata aur naye sire se shuruaat ka prateek hai.
Bodhi vriksh ki pooja: Bodh Gaya mein sthit us pavitra peepal ke vriksh ki pooja ki jaati hai jiske neeche Buddha ko gyan prapt hua tha.
Shobha yaatraayein: Kai sthaanon par rangeen shobha yaatraayein nikaali jaati hain, jinmein Buddha ki murtiyon ko sajaakar le jaaya jaata hai aur Buddhist bhikshu shanti aur sadbhaav ke sandesh dete hain.
Pashu-pakshiyon ko abhaydaan: Kuch Buddhist anuyayi is din pinjre mein band pakshiyon aur jaanwaron ko azaad karte hain, jo sabhi jeevon ke prati karuna ka prateek hai.
Sanskritik kaaryakram: Buddha ke jeevan aur shikshaon par aadhaarit vibhinn saanskritik kaaryakram jaise naatak, sangeet aur nritya bhi aayojit kiye jaate hain.

Buddha Purnima hamein Bhagwan Buddha ke jeevan aur unki shikshaon se prerna lene ka avsar pradaan karta hai. Yeh hamein shanti, karuna aur gyan ke marg par chalne aur ek behtar insaan banne ke liye prerit karta hai. Yeh din hamein yeh bhi yaad dilaata hai ki jeevan anitya hai aur hamein apne karmon ke prati sachet rehna chahiye.

Buddha Purnima sirf ek tyohaar nahin hai, yeh ek sandesh hai - shanti, sadbhaav aur karuna ka sandesh, jo aaj ke ashaant vishwa mein aur bhi adhik mahatvapoorna ho jaata hai. Aaiye, is pavitra din par hum sab milkar Bhagwan Buddha ke dikhaaye marg par chalne ka sankalp lein aur apne jeevan ko saarthak banaayein.
