Estórias Budistas: A Vida Passada de Buda como um Rei Chamado Luar - Parte 1 de 6

As I told you already, He has been Buddha a long, long time ago. But in order to sow affinity with new sentient beings, or older sentient beings which He has not delivered in some former life, and have affinity with Him, He has to come back again and start from zero. And then the Buddha said, 'The beings that I ferried across, means I liberated, are as little as that little sand on my hand only. The beings that have not been liberated are as much as the sand on this planet. But never mind. Three months later, I will enter Nirvana.' And after that everybody else knew, other monks and nuns, and the assembly knew about it. Everybody was so sad, so sad, so sad.
