Yashodora - The Wife of Buddha

[@snair8448]

Yashodhara was and still is an exemplary woman. She never abused her husband who left her, she attempted to understand his spiritual goals and ended up as a sanyasini herself, all the while raising a good son! Lots to admire in her story!

[@happyfreeky]

Yes. She was an incarnation of Radha, a goddess of bhakti (love and devotion)

[@PriyaAmar848]

Yes , it’s a perfect example to follow simple life free from Desires. Also, sharing an example to follow the husbands path and there is no separation between husband and wife.

Yshidara was a great wife, mother, and sage, and Arhant showed great virtues. She will be remembered in hearts by the saint of many, achieving enlightenment and teaching Damma. THANK YOU DEAR YOSHIDARA

Yashodhata very pure pious devoted wife of Lord Buddha with immense patience and Loyalty

It’s only the male who were shown as role models in our ancient indian history, ignoring all the women who were bold and accepted the life inspite of all the challenges, very few were talked about, it’s time now atleast, we know their stories and their sacrifices of the popular females also who can become equallent to male roles models of our ancient history 🙏🏻

[@ramanathanpv213]

The Indian women, since they were spiritually oriented, were all women of resolution - like the (spiritually oriented) men. No big difference gender makes there. Several examples are found in the Upanishads and other scriptures. One very recent example was Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jhansi. More recent example, Sri Sarda Devi, consort (not 'wife') of Sr Ramakrishna Paramhansa.

[@birdthompson]

beautifully done!!!

[@smokee6269]

crazy. Buddha had no loyalty to his wife but His wife had the amount of loyalty for the both of them.

[@tinkerer67]

Siddartha renounced the world looking for a way to end suffering, and his beloved wife would have been a great reason to go on this quest. Ultimately, she became enlightened following his teachings.

[@jayalakshmimadapatha8374]

Maybe for Hindus it's like that but for Buddhists they can practice their spiritual journey at anytime in their life whenever they want because if they wait to fulfil all other obligations they may be too late, life is so uncertain....and also to achieve the supreme goal one has to achieve spiritual fulfilment through the efforts of many lives.and yashodhara accompanied him in his journey through out and giving him the help and freedom he needed to complete his advancements so she was the felll traveller in his sansarric journey

[@Kajalkrimahto]

Yashodhara is still Buddha's wife. She also renounced everything for him ,so why ignore her sacrifices.

[@ajithpremadasa6759]

​@@Kajalkrimahto But in our religion Lord Buddha and all other buddhist monk are to give up all the relationships belonged to them. It's the way to nirvana and it is also a reason to became Lord Buddha sacred from all of us. We consider ( for Lord Buddha and monks )the addressing of anybody as his or her relation as a disrespectful action.

[@happyfreeky]

Last life? No. Both of them are reborn and happen to know each other. In fact, he (present day) apologized to her for basically abandoning her for the 7 years (not 6) that he spent in the forest.

[@ramanathanpv213]

Please Read With The Previous (see below) :: That is why, SPIRITUALITY - which is not to be mistaken as 'religion' or 'any religious practice'. It is training the mind to see ALL AS GODLY OR DIVINE. Rightly trained for this, that person would excel in practically anything he undertakes or does. And he would do only the virtuous. Allbeneficial admn, Social Service, Innovation (beneficial to others - not profit oriented), Decision making, Guru-hood, Preacher, ... whatnot!!! The most recent, and NOW living example would be, 'Amma' (Mata Amritanandamayi Devi). A going-to-be soon, can guess easily, is Modi-ji, Indian PM, going to take the third term in some 10 days from today. Hindu thought classifies such pinnacles of Spiritual examples as AVATAAR.

[@Now2Market]

Buddha was NOT a Prince but a Regent, ranking officer, in his birth province. He did NOT leave his family but teaches wisdom and virtues, which later spread across the land. He had a son and 4 daughters. Stories are being told to glorify historical facts, especially after being turned into Religion branding. He was a Great man that serve his time immorial and purposes, which still applicable till this present day. Like all Religions, in its later form, turn temples and believes system into Enterprises.

[@tinkerer67]

This is the first time I hear that he had daughters. From where did you learn this?

[@ajithpremadasa6759]

Did princess Yashodara ordained as Bikkuni with the 500 women following Maha Prajapathi Gothami ? As I learned those 500 princesses were the wives of 250 'Koliya' men and 250 'Shakya' men who fought for water in Rohini river. That 500 men finally goes to Lord Buddha and became monks. That time the wives of them also decided to be monks and suggest Maha Prajapathi Gothami to ask for start 'Bikshuni Sasanaya' as there was still no permission for women to join as monks. I don't know exactly whether I'm correct or not but according to our teachings about it princess Yashodara could no be included in that 500 first most women to request to join 'Sambuddha Sasanaya'. But I don't know the exact time that Yashodara became a Buddhist monk. Can someone tell me it. Up to now I thought that the princesses Yashodara and 'Sundari Nanda` ' became monks together after a time later of establishing the 'Bikshuni Sashanaya'

The fact that the Buddha was a sakya ,or shaka meant that he had his roots in Africa, many statues show The Buddha with the Tree of life emblem, denoting that he and his family came from Khemet. 😊😊

[@OnlineMD]

Good presentation but uh, your PRONUNCIATION of the names is poor. It isn't Booda! Please! Buddha! The "d" is as in 'this' and not as in 'dime.' It isn't Yaashodhara. It is Ya-show-dhara. That aside, this is a mythical story. And so is the mythical story of the Buddha's birth from his mother's side rather than a normal birth. A story of abandonment. In the Hindu tradition, it is imperative to fulfil one's duties. Once married, it is the duty of husband and wife as Grihasthas, which means householders, to stay together, follow dharma, raise the children, perform charitable deeds. Once those duties are done, only then are the householders free to explore spirituality and NOT till then. Please: if I am flamed for this comment, I'll just delete it and any comments will go down in flames.
