The Quest for Buddhism (19)

The family of Siddhartha (Buddha) 

Sundarī Nandā – Beautiful half-sister of Buddha, the most venerable bhikkhuni (nun)

Princess Sundarī Nandā, also known simply a Sundarī, was the daughter of King Suddhodana (Ref) and Mahaprajapati (Ref2). She was the half-sister of Siddhartha Gautama, who later became a Buddha. She became a nun after the enlightenment of her half-brother and became the foremost bhikkhuni in the practise of dhyana (Pali: jhana, lit. total meditative absorption). She lived during the 6th century BCE in what is now Bihar and Uttar Pradesh in India.

When she was born, Princess Nandā was lovingly welcomed by her parents: Nanda's name means joy, contentment, pleasure, and was named as her parents were especially joyous about the arrival of a newborn baby. Nanda was known in her childhood for being extremely well-bred, graceful and beautiful. To disambiguate her from Sakyans (Ref3) by the same name, she was also known as "Rupa-Nanda (lit. one of delightful form)," sometimes "Sundari-Nanda (beautiful Nanda)." Since Her beauty sparkled day by day she was later named as "Janapada Kalyani". 

Over time, many members of her family, the family of the Sakyans of Kapilavastu, left the worldly life for the ascetic life, inspired by the enlightenment of their Crown Prince Siddhartha(Buddha). Amongst them was her brother Nanda (Ref4), and her cousins Anuruddha and Ananda, who were two of the Buddha’s ten principal disciples. According to a Budddist text, “Therigatha” (lit. verses of the elder nuns), she was to get married with her own brother Nanda but before their wedding he had to enter into monastic life.

Her mother, was the first Buddhist nun, having asked the Buddha to allow women into the sangha. As a result of this, many other royal Sakyan ladies, including Princess Yasodharā, the wife of Siddhartha became Buddhist monastics. Thereupon, Nanda also renounced the world, but it was recorded that she did not do it out of confidence in the Buddha and the dharma, but out of blood love for her relatives and a feeling of belonging.

仏教の探求 (19)

お釈迦さまの家族

孫陀利難陀 (そんだりなんだ、梵: スンダリ・ナンダ) 〜ブッダの美しい異母妹、最も崇高な比丘尼（尼僧）

スンダリ・ナンダ王女は、浄飯王（シュッドーダナ王：参照）とマハー・プラジャーパティー（参照2）の娘で、後にブッダとなるシッダールタ・ゴータマの異母妹である。異母兄の悟りの後、尼僧となり、ディヤーナ（四禅:しぜん、完全瞑想）の修行で最も優れた比丘尼（びくに、尼僧）となった。紀元前6世紀、現在のインドのビハール州とウッタル・プラデーシュ州に住んでいた。

ナンダ王女は生まれたとき、両親から愛情をもって迎えられた。ナンダの名前は、喜び、満足、快楽を意味し、生まれたばかりの赤ん坊の到着を両親が特に喜んだことから名づけられた。ナンダは幼少の頃、非常に育ちがよく、優雅で美しいことで知られていた。同名のシャーキヤ族（参照3）と区別するために、「ルパ・ナンダ (歓喜な姿の者)」、時には「スンダリ・ナンダ(美しいナンダ)」とも呼ばれた。彼女の美しさが日々輝いていたことから、後に「ジャナパダ・カリヤーニ」と呼ばれるようになった。

やがて、彼女の一族であるカピラヴァストゥのシャーキヤ族は、皇太子シッダールタ (ブッダ)の悟りに触発されて、世俗を離れ禁欲生活を送る者が多くなった。その中には、実兄の孫陀羅難陀 (そんだらなんだ、梵：スンダラ・ナンダ（参照4）)や、従兄弟の阿那律 (あなりつ、梵: アニルッダ) と阿難陀（あなんだ、梵: アーナンダ ）も含まれており、どちらも釈迦の十大弟子の中の二人であった。仏典『テーリーガータ (長老尼偈経: ちょうろうに・げじゅ）』によると、彼女は実兄のナンダと結婚することになっていたが、結婚前に彼は僧籍に入らなければならなかった。

彼女の母親は、釈迦に女性の入信を願った最初の尼僧である。その結果、シッダールタ(ブッダ)の妻ヤショーダラー王女をはじめ、多くのシャーキヤ族の女性が仏門に入ることになった。そこでナンダも世を捨てたが、それは仏や法への信頼からではなく、身内への血の通った愛と帰属意識からであったと記録されている。

I had this idea for a few years, and never knew how to put it to words (and images) so to speak. But now I did (I hope)! For those who don’t know, this is a crossover between Saint Oniisan and Good Omens. Aziraphale and Crowley go for a vacation to Japan and meet Jesus and Buddha who are also vacationing there. (I drew one image on the subject before)

Awakening is when you realize that you are not the thoughts but, that you are the silence, the emptiness, the void, the awareness, the watcher behind the thoughts.

- a calm peaceful mind

Pranayama is the practice of breath regulation. It's a main component of yoga, an exercise for physical and mental wellness. In Sanskrit, “prana” means life energy and “yama” means control. The practice of pranayama involves breathing exercises and patterns.
