Buddha Above
to see all our birthday Buddha amulets. Raised right
hand, this standing Buddha in Monday's birthday posture shows a Buddha
stopping disease and tragedy in Vesali. Preventing
tragedy is the theme for Monday's Buddha posture. The story goes that
the city of Vesali was being plagued by evils from 3 origins - poverty,
disease, and evil spirts. Evil spirits had overtaken the city, and were
eating the people - dead or alive. The king of the city sought advice
from sages which told him to contact the Buddha to see if there was
anything he could do. Buddha, arriving in Vesali first made it rain
torrents of rain to clean the city of dead bodies and disease. Buddha's
disciple, the monk, Ananda went all over the city chanting parts of the
Tipitika and splashing holy (blessed) water all over parts of the city.
Suffering humans here healed of their affirmities... the evil spirits
were banished.
