Today is Lord Buddha's birth, enlightenment and parinirvana (or latter two). I am so grateful that out of such great compassion the nirmanakaya Buddha took a human birth to give us the precious dharma. Praises to him, his teachings, and his life!
Here are remarks from Muni at
The Buddha Blog (clickable link)On the special birthday, the wish for freedom for all sentient beings by so many; is the result of the great kindness of Buddha Shakyamuni, his wonderful teaching.
May all sentient beings see the dream of the cloudlike cage and be free in the vastness of genuine peace.
