126 Avotar (Incarnation)

Balarama Avotar

9) Buddha Avotar:

On this our earth eternal peace is never established. Disorder has

taken place again and again. Violence became more serious. Many

beasts were being sacrificed in the sacrificial ceremonies. It seemed

that the offering and sacrifice was the one and only act of religion.

Then God appeared as Buddha. He took birth as the son of king

Shuddhudhon. He was named Gautam. He was known as Buddha

after acquiring 'Bodhi' or wisdom. Goutama Buddha asked to stop

killing animals. He showed men the way to peace preaching the

Message of non-violence.
