What Buddha did immediately after his enlightenment: “Seven Weeks of Buddha at Bodhgaya”

What did Buddha do after Enlightenment?
Buddha attained supreme enlightenment in Bodhgaya at the age of 35 years on the full moon night of Vesak month. It was morning now and Buddha was still sitting on the Diamond throne or Vajrasana on which he sat while he attained enlightenment. He remained silent and it was only during the fifth week after enlightenment that he started speaking again when he declared the qualities of a Brahmin while answering the question of an arrogant Brahmin. He had his first meal only after the seventh week of enlightenment. He remained in Bodhgaya for the next few weeks after the enlightenment.

Buddhism teaches humility, uniting the heart with the mind and soul, and it is the way of humanity to peace of the soul and enlightenment of the mind with the simplest and beautiful teachings of the great enlightened Buddha, who sacrificed his kingdom, his wife, and all his possessions to save man from suffering. Thank you to the great, wise Buddha

The Avatamsaka Sutra was taught immediately after the Enlightenment. There is also the Dharani Sutra for Protection of All Children, which a Mahā Brahmā shared. There may be others, but these are the only ones I'm aware of.

He threw a bowl in the river and claimed, if the bowl flows in the opposite direction of the river, then he surely had achieved enlightenment. That's how scientific Buddhism is.

[@dilipaweeratunga]

Nope, you have texted here the vague memory of something you have heard. That's how narrow your mind is

I wonder how long Buddha meditated before understanding the medium way.. Because he pushed himself so hard those days just to find the truth..
