What happened when Buddha got enlightened?


When Lord Buddha got enlightened, he was silent for a week; he didn’t say a word. All the Gods and the angels got worried that he is not saying anything. They pleaded him to say something because what he says will benefit people for ages to come.

Lord Buddha came 2,500 years after Lord Krishna, and if he doesn’t say anything, what will happen? One of the Gods, Lord Brahma went to Buddha and said, “Please say something.”

Lord Buddha then said, “Those who know it, you don’t need to tell them. For those who do not know, there is no point in telling them because they are ignorant. Any amount of telling them will not be of any use. They are in the small mind.”

Then the angels told Buddha that there are some who are in the middle; they know a little bit and yet, they don’t know a lot. When they hear you, they can move towards the higher truth. Thus, they convinced Lord Buddha, and then he started speaking. He traveled all over India and spoke for 32 years. His only intention was to bring compassion and inner peace to the people of the world.
