How long are you willing to wait until you get to do whatyou love to do the most? 20 years? Entire life? Or, more thana lifetime?In Lord Buddha’s case, he waited billions of lifetimes beforehis greatest wish came true. “DhammacakkappavattanaSutta,” which recounts the historic event in which the Buddhagave his first-ever sermon, might take less than 20 minutes tochant but it was a culmination of the world’s longest-runningstory of love for humanity.Buddhism was founded out of unconditional love. Whenwe love someone, not only we wish that person happy butalso we try to do whatever we can to bring happiness to thatperson. In so doing, we give, share and make sacrifices. Thatexactly what Gautama Buddha did unconditionally.After painstakingly risking his own life, he shared all theknowledge that he discovered out of a sheer wish to helpfellow human beings free themselves from the bondage ofphysical and emotional suffering without expecting anythingin return except their happiness.
