The Buddha's father King Suddhodana

(Buddha’s Stories) The story of King Suddhodana, the Buddha’s father

Men are dumb, Dad - I know. I❤️U.

It's easy to love mom, but what about dad? What has the Men's Movement done for males in this patriarchy? (There are feminist men?) In the U.S., whether or not to celebrate "Father's Day" nationwide is a matter of debate. In 1908, Grace Golden Clayton proposed a day to honor men who had died in a U.S. mining accident. It was rejected then.

But in 1909, Sonora Louise Smart Dodd, who along with her five brothers had been raised by a single father, attended "Mother's Day" in a church.

Men's empowerment hike on Father's Day

She then convinced the Spokane Ministerial Association to celebrate Father's Day nationwide [7]. In addition to Father's Day, International Men's Day is celebrated in many countries on Nov. 19th in honor of men and boys [8]: Father's Day

In the Pāli canon, there are only two discourses (sutras) that explicitly reference Suddhodana, the Mahāpadāna Sutta (DN 14) and in the verse prologue of the Nālaka Sutta (Sn 3.11). In each of these discourses, Suddhodana is represented simply as the Buddha's father and as a Sakyan ruler.

Father for a Buddha

Good father had a bad Buddha who abandoned his newborn son?

(Buddha's Wisdom) The Buddha's son: the forgotten story of Rahula: Why did the Buddha abandon his newborn son, leaving him on welfare in flat in the winter with no schooling or support?

Afghan chieftain Indo-Scythia, Gandhara

Who is Prince Siddhattha's father, the Gandharan (Afghan territorial chieftain?*) King Suddhodana? In Theravada Buddhism (a major branch) — Suddhodana is recorded in the ancient Pali canon.

He was a Saka, Sakka, Shakya, Scythian, Sakiyan raja ("king," "leader," "head," "royal") in Kapilavatthu, the father of Prince Siddhattha Gotama, who became the historical Buddha.

He was the son of Sihahanu and Kaccana. His brothers were Dhotodana, Sakkodana, Sukkodana, and Amitodana, and his sisters were Amita and Pamita.

Maya was his chief consort. After her death, her sister Pajapati was elevated to that position (Mhv.ii.15f.; Dpv.iii.45; J.i.15, etc.)

Asita's visit to Suddhodana

When soothsayers predicted that his son Siddhattha had two destinies awaiting him, either that of a universal monarch (cakkavatti, chakravartin) if he stayed in the world or a universal teacher (Buddhahood) if he renounced it, he exerted his utmost effort to provide the prince with all kinds of sensual luxuries and hedonistic pleasures to hold him to the household life.

It is said (e.g., J.i.54) that when Asita, who was his father's [Brahmin] chaplain and teacher, visited King Suddhodana to see the newborn prince, he paid homage to the infant by allowing his feet to rest on his head. Suddhodana was filled with wonder and also worshipped the child.

I wish for you to be a noble warrior, my son.

Seven years later, at the annual Ploughing Festival ceremony, Suddhodana saw that the shadow of the jambu tree under which the child had been placed in the shade when he spontaneously went into meditative absorption (jhana, samadhi) did not move even as the sun traveled overhead. Then the child, seated cross-legged without moving, levitated in the air. So he again worshipped him (J.i.57f).

Life in the luxurious house of Saka

Twenty-nine years later, when in spite of all his father's efforts, Prince Siddhattha renounced and left behind the household life and took to practicing austerities in the East, Suddhodana sent a messenger/private investigator to find his son and see what he was up to.

The investigator returned with news that his son had died, owing to the severity of his penances (tapas). But Suddhodana refused to believe it, saying that his son would never die without achieving his spiritual goal (J.i.67).

When this was afterwards related to the Buddha, he taught the Maha Dhammapala Jataka, showing that in the past, too, Suddhodana had refused to believe that his son could have died even when he was shown the heap of his bones.

I failed as a father. My son left.

Seven years after that, when news reached Suddhodana that his son had reached enlightenment, he sent a messenger to Veluvana in Rajagaha ("Bamboo Grove" in Rajgir, where King Bimbisara reigned) with many others to invite the Buddha to return home and visit the seasonal capital of Kapilavatthu.

But when the messenger and his companions heard the Buddha teach, they renounced worldly life, entered the Monastic Order, and forgot their mission. This happened nine more times with different messengers.

On the tenth occasion, King Suddhodana sent Kaludayi (Sanskrit Kālodāyin) who had advance permission to join the Sangha on the express condition that he give the king's invitation to the Buddha.

Kaludayi kept his promise, the Buddha consented, and seven years after having left home to embark on a massive spiritual quest, he returned home to visit Kapilavatthu, staying in Nigrodharama. There, in reference to a rain shower that fell, he taught the Vessantara Jataka.

• The Buddha returns home, visits Kapilavatthu (Wisdom Library)

Life of the Buddha (Archaeological Museum of India, Sarnath, Gallery 1)

.

The next day, when King Suddhodana remonstrated his royal (noble, warrior) son, the Buddha, because he was seen "begging" (going on almsround) on the streets of Kapilavatthu, the Buddha told him that surviving on offerings was the custom of all buddhas. Hearing this, King Suddhodana became a stream enterer (sotapanna, the first stage of enlightenment).

Son, at 16, you shall marry the beautiful Bimba.

He then offered to feed his new teacher the Buddha, inviting him to visit the palace, where he entertained him. At the end of the meal offering, the Buddha further taught the king, who became a once returner (sakadagami, J.i.90; cf. DhA.iii.164f).

• This was when the Buddha was reunited with Princess Bimba (Yasodhara) and his 7-year-old son Rahula, both of whom were "saved" in that they were inspired to renounce their worldly lives in the palace and take up the path-of-practice the Buddha taught as wandering ascetics. In no long time, they both became enlightened. Many Saka/Shakya/Scythian relatives were inspired to follow suit, join the Sangha (spiritual community), and make an end of all suffering.

The king then became a nonreturner (anagami, the third of four stages of awakening) after hearing the Maha Dhammapala Jataka (DhA.i.99; J.iv.55).

Suddhodana was the Bodhisatta or Buddha-to-be’s father in numerous previous births, but he is mentioned as such by name in only a few birth (jātaka) tales, namely:

1. Kaṭṭhahāri Jātaka
2. Alīnacitta Jātaka
3. Susīma Jātaka
4. Bandhanāgāra Jātaka
5. Kosambiya Jātaka
6. Mahādhammapāla Jātaka
7. Dasaratha Jātaka
8. Hatthipāla Jātaka
9. Umaṅga Jātaka
10. Vessantara Jātaka.

• *Where is the real Kapilavatthu (Sanskrit Kapilavastu)? There were three seasonal capitals (with three palaces, one for each season) of the Sakas, Shakyas, Indo-Scythians of Gandhara, which we speculate were Kabul, Bamiyan, and Mes Aynak. Was Suddhodana really a "king" as we understand the term? A janapada is the "foothold of a family clan," in the case the Sakas. More likely he was a tribal leader as of the Pashtun's loya jirga. While the Pashtuns may be new to the area of Bamiyan, the tradition of leadership "councils" seems to be longstanding.

Dharma Realms: Buddhist Art Across Asia

ACCOMPANYING BOOK: Realms of the Dharma: Buddhist Art Across Asia

Realms of the Dharma (LACMA book)

There's a hardcover book, released July 1, 2025, by Editors Tushara Bindu Gude and Stephen Little and a foreword by Michael Govan. It has 5 out of 5 stars with one (1) rating.

It is a remarkable selection of pan-Asian Buddhist art, showcasing the history and diversity of Buddhist schools with examples across sculptures, textiles, reliquaries, manuscripts, and more.

• Realms of the Dharma: Buddhist Art Across Asia (2025 LACMA exhibit)

Buddhist Tibet (LACMA)

Published with LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art), this gloriously illustrated celebration of Buddhist art addresses the development of Buddhism and its visual language over a period of nearly 2,000 years, as the Teaching (Dharma) traveled across Asia and was embraced by diverse cultures.

Realms of the Dharma brings together more than 200 works of Buddhist art from India, mainland and island Southeast Asia, the Himalayas, Central Asia, and East Asia.

Buddhist Japan (LACMA)

The book is divided into seven chapters, beginning with an introduction to Buddhism and Buddhist art, followed by chapters on South Asia, Southeast Asia, Nepal and Tibet, China, Korea, and Japan.

The artworks, all from the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offer a broad perspective on the birth of Buddhism in South Asia and its spread throughout the Asian continent over centuries.

The Buddha's tooth relic (srarira) in China

The artworks include a stunning and diverse range of Buddhas, stupas and reliquaries, religious manuscripts, paintings, and sculptures depicting various Buddhist deities, portraits of Buddhist masters, and other ritual objects.

The remarkably successful expansion of Buddhism was in part due to the ability of its principles to be adapted to and assimilated within a range of preexisting belief systems [usually some form of shamanism, animism, or some form of spirit appeasement].

Gorgeously illustrated with over 250 color reproductions of these exemplary artworks and religious objects, this book celebrates that achievement. More

Realms of the Dharma: Buddhist Art Across Asia

Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) 

LACMA has an excellent permanent collection.

"Realms of the Dharma: Buddhist Art Across Asia" presents an international survey of Buddhism and Buddhist art, beginning with the religion’s origins in India and following its spread through mainland and island Southeast Asia (Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Indonesia), the Himalayas (Kashmir, Nepal, and Tibet), and East Asia (China, Korea, and Japan).

Buddhism Friendship Scholarship Program goes to LACMA

Incorporating 180 masterpieces of pan-Asian Buddhist art, the exhibition introduces key concepts of Buddhist thought and practice viewed through the prism of rare and extraordinarily beautiful Buddhist sculptures, paintings, and ritual objects.

Drawn from LACMA’s permanent collection, with several significant loans from private collections, the exhibition explores:

• the life of the historical Buddha,
• the role of the bodhisattva or Buddhist savior,
• Buddhist cosmology,
• and such key concepts as Dharma, karma, nirvana, mantra, mudra, and mandala.

The show focuses on art associated with such key phases of Buddhism as Theravada (early monastic Buddhism), Mahayana (the “Great Vehicle” populism), Vajrayana (the “Diamond Vehicle”—tantric or esoteric Buddhism), and Chan (Zen).

While closed on the Day of the Dead, the exhibit reopens along with the museum on Nov. 2, 2025, and continues until July 12, 2026. Ticket purchase necessary. Discounted for members.

3i/ATLAS object coming? Disclosure?

Why is 3i/ATLAS such a big deal? Is it a UFO?

3i/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and previously as A11pl3Z, is an interstellar object, perhaps just a comet [16][17], discovered by the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) station. It follows an unbound, hyperbolic trajectory past the Sun [5][c]. It will come as close as 1.8 AU (astronomical units, nearly twice the distance of the Sun) from Earth.

China just issued a warning about 3i/ATLAS — and NASA is silent!

(Newsmax) NASA is silent on 3i ATLAS' abnormal behavior: Dr. Avi Loeb

Therefore, it poses no threat [18] to Earth unless it is a UFO mothership, vimana, or extraterrestrial technology such as a probe intentionally sent to monitor this sector and region of space. It is the third interstellar object confirmed passing through our Solar System, after 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov [19], hence the prefix "3i." It is not expected to brighten enough to become visible using binoculars or to the naked eye. During solar conjunction on Oct. 21, 2025 [f], it could be observed by the GOES-19 weather satellite [20]. More

Could it be a vimana (aerial vehicle) like the one found in Afghan cave?

• 

  (Vaimanika Shastra Shakuna)

  Vimānas are flying palaces or chariots described in Hindu texts and Sanskrit epics, which are disdainfully labelled "mythological." The Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana (who took it from Kubera, whereafter Rama returned it) is the most quoted example of a vimana. Vimanas are also mentioned in Jain texts, and Buddhist text contain a whole section on vimanas, talking about the karma that led beings to be reborn in or in possession of a vimana (space platform).
• ETYMOLOGY: The Sanskrit/Pali word vimāna (विमान) means "immeasurable" (WQ). Monier Monier-Williams defines vimāna as "a chariot of the gods [the devas], any self-moving aerial car sometimes serving as a seat or throne, sometimes self-moving and carrying its occupant through the air; other descriptions make the Vimana more like a house or palace, and one kind is said to be seven stories high," and quotes the Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana as an example. It may denote any vehicle, especially a bier or a ship as well as a palace of an emperor, especially with seven stories [1]. Nowadays, vimāna, vimān, and bimān all mean "aircraft" in Indian languages. More

(The Hill) Premiered Oct. 30, 2025: Harvard Physics Prof. Avi Loeb joins the show to discuss the recent finding of the interstellar object 3I Atlas.

Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislane Maxwell victim Virgin' Giuffre fails to die, released from hospital

Jeffrey Epstein (and Ghislane Maxwell) victim Virginia Giuffre released from hospital — nearly a week after announcing she ‘had four days to live’

Prince Andrew, V. Giuffre, Ghislane Maxwell

Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre (nee Roberts) was discharged from a hospital today — nearly a week after saying she had just four days to live after a crash with a school bus.

Lies? Hysteria?

[Giuffre claims that her death was inevitable, and she had only four days to live due to renal failure from injured kidneys in a car crash with a bus: Epstein sex victim Virgin' Giuffre to die.]

The 41-year-old mom was released following a six-day stint at the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, the West Australian reported.

She was escorted from the hospital out of view of a waiting media pack [of paparazzi jackals or, this being Australia, dingoes]. Details on her current condition were not immediately made available.

It comes after Giuffre [formerly Virginia Roberts] — who famously claimed to have been induced to have sex with Britain’s creepy, stuttering Prince Andrew — posted a photo of herself bruised and battered in a hospital bed, alleging she had been given just “four days to live” after her March 24th wreck.

An American tourist in Afghanistan 2024

F*rg@t the media: I went to Afghanistan!

The big Buddha of Bamiyan is restored (with lasers). Use of bricks was stopped due to weight.

.

(Phils Guide to the World!) May 4, 2024: SEE FOR YOURSELF. Why should anyone travel to Afghanistan in 2024?  This documentary covers the Top 5 reasons.

1. The Afghan people,
2. Afghan landscapes/nature,
3. Afghan food,
4. Afghan history, and
5. Afghan culture.

Who was the Buddha in early Greco-Buddhist art?

Why are the Afghan people so awesome? They are kind, fun, and super hospitable. Many have retained their traditional way of life (especially in the mountainous areas) and are very happy to talk with Americans. Surprised? 

Viewers will just have to watch the video to see for themselves. (That's the channel's slogan).

This Afghanistan documentary take viewer to the beautiful red rock nature in Bamiyan, crystal clear blue lakes in Band-e-Amir National Park, ancient post-Buddhist mosques and history in Mazar-i-Sharif and Herat, the bustling and now safe capital of Kabul, and the striking mountains and traditional people of Nuristan.

No one should trust the mainstream media too much, particularly in the states, where we are still fed a steady diet of propaganda and post-war political narrative.

Afghanistan in 2024 is a much different place than what is portrayed by the media. Yes, the Taliban are around, but for the most part they love (and need) tourists and will go out of their way to make sure tourist [dollars] are safe in their country.

But the choice is ours. It's not easy, but this videographer is here to tell everyone that I had an incredible visit to what was once called "the most dangerous country on earth."

• [That seems to have had more to do with American invaders and terrorists bombing it, the CIA and ISI destabilizing it, and the Russians trying to incorporate it into the USSR before that, following a long period of attempted British colonization, preceding the Chinese Empire having a crack at it.]

It's [California] Phil's goal to see the world NOT through the eyes of the media, but through his own eyes. Therefore, he specializes in showing the countries the media casts in a bad light. It's in these countries that he's found the friendliest and most hospitable people. Please take a look at the full series:

ولې باید افغانستان ته سفر وکړئ؟ زما غوره 5 لاملونه دي (1) افغان خلک، (2) د افغانستان منظرې/طبیعت، (3) افغان خواړه (د نړۍ غوره کبابونه)، (4) د افغانستان تاریخ او (5) افغان کلتور

افغان ولس ولې دومره ستړی دی؟ دوی مهربان او ډیر میلمه پالنه کوي، او ډیری یې خپل دودیز ژوند (په ځانګړې توګه په غرونو کې) ساتلی او د امریکایانو سره په خبرو کولو کې ډیر خوښ دي.

افغانستان در سال 2024 با آنچه رسانه ها نشان می دهند بسیار متفاوت است. بله، طالبان در اطراف هستند، اما بیشتر آنها گردشگران را دوست دارند - و تمام تلاش خود را می کنند تا مطمئن شوند که شما در کشورشان ایمن هستید. اما انتخاب با شماست... آسان نیست، اما من اینجا هستم تا به شما بگویم که بازدیدی باورنکردنی از جایی داشتم که زمانی "خطرناک ترین کشور روی زمین" نامیده می شد.

چرا باید از افغانستان دیدن کرد؟ 5 دلیل اصلی من عبارتند از (1) مردم افغانستان، (2) مناظر / طبیعت افغانستان، (3) غذاهای افغانی (بهترین کباب ها در جهان)، (4) تاریخ افغانستان و (5) فرهنگ افغانستان

چرا مردم افغانستان اینقدر عالی هستند؟ آنها مهربان و فوق العاده مهمان نواز هستند و بسیاری از آنها شیوه زندگی سنتی خود را حفظ کردند (به ویژه در کوهستان) و از صحبت با آمریکایی ها بسیار خوشحال هستند.

غافلگیر شدن؟ شما فقط باید تماشا کنید تا ببینید!

Ancient Buddhists, Egyptians, Grand Canyon

Tibetan style Buddha statue found in the Citadel, the main gallery of the large caverns

Phoenix Arizona Gazette documented discovery in great detail before Smithsonian hid it.

Details, names, photos, testimony, official comments - all made up?

Why would Native Americans choose to live in an inhospitable spot when they could be here?

Why do all of the monuments have Egyptian and even a Buddhist name, Josh? - IDK.

Grand Canyon US is massive unless compared to the enormous Copper Canyon in Mexico

Could American pyramids built by the Egyptians be so old as to be crumbling and unrecognized?

Ancient Egyptians in the Grand Canyon

An Inglorious Columbus

(Ancient Mystery) The details of the expedition by American anthropologist hired by the Smithsonian (then erased) G. E. Kincaid and John Powell and their report of the Egyptian artifacts that they found in the Grand Canyon. Gold artifacts from the Kincaid Tunnel are the only artifacts on display at the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, D.C. from the Grand Canyon. The most interesting artifacts are from King Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti. The Grand Canyon has many traces of the ancient Egyptians.

Chinese and other Asians found it

There are hieroglyphs, metal smelters, and even the peaks themselves are named pyramid temples. This together with the contemporaneously documented written findings (Phoenix Gazette) reporting Kincaid's findings make this an ancient mystery worth learning. How could Buddhist, Egyptian, Hindu, and other artifacts have come to the U.S. in ancient times? Was there a worldwide religion, an amalgam of different teachings from different lands known about by the pharaoh and the ancient Egyptian priests? (It would explain the tremendous similarities between Hinduism/the old Vedic religion, Mahayana Buddhism, and Coptic (Egyptian) Christianity. The Egyptians did not die out but simply morphed their diverse teachings into a universalist faith.

Egyptians in Turkey (Anatolia), walling off underground cities

5,000 years ago? Main channel: Discovery that shocked world

Smithsonian cover-up: Ancient Buddhists, Egyptians, Hindus, giants in Grand Canyon

Vining knew Buddhists had found US (1885)

(The Why Files) In 1908, Pres. Teddy Roosevelt wanted to declare the Grand Canyon off-limits to all timber and mining operations. It would take another 11 years for Congress to designate the Grand Canyon a national park. Sensing a final opportunity for adventure, explorer G. E. Kincaid took a boat down the Colorado River and through the Grand Canyon. The canyon was rich in minerals like gold, silver, and copper and Kincaid wanted to see what he could find before the area was closed off for good. About 40 miles up-river from the El Tovar Crystal Canyon, Kincaid saw stains in the sediment formation about 2,000 feet up.

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

He tied off his boat and got out to investigate. Kincaid couldn't find a trail, but after a short hike he found something interesting covered in desert brush: manmade steps, hundreds of them carved in sandstone, steps that wound their way up to a high shelf on the side of the canyon. He followed the steps until he came across a cavern entrance, an entrance that was clearly man made. Kincaid entered the cavern and turned on his flashlight. On the walls he saw writing. But it wasn't English or Native American writing. It was Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Kincaid lifted his flashlight and saw that the tunnel ran far into the distance. He didn't realize it at the time, but this was only the beginning. #Ancient #Unsolved #Mystery

Gold treasure?

Strange ancient mysteries dissected: The Proof is Out There

(HISTORY) June 1, 2024: Isn't gold the reason for Spain's greed in the "New" World? The search for El Dorado ("The Golden"), a famed City of Gold that may have been found and kept secret or never existed and was just invented to mislead the Conquistadors (the "Conquerors"), has a basis in history. People still seek the Motherlode, and the Island of California is a very rich and mythical place. The underground world in the desert is well known by the Native Americans, but as those places are still claimed by others (the "Ant People"), no one trespasses on their territory, waiting for the next series of cataclysms to be invited to return and be saved again as American Indians were in the past. Is there any reasonable explanation for these ancient mysteries? See more in this compilation from The Proof Is Out There.
