Como último recurso, o demônio contesta o direito que Gautama | |||
teria de agir daquela maneira. Sidarta, então, toca a terra com o mudra | |||
no qual a mão esquerda se mantém apoiada no colo, com palma voltada | |||
para cima, enquanto a direita aponta para baixo, tocando a terra. E esta | |||
em resposta, brada: “Sou tua testemunha!” E todas as hostes do Senhor | |||
e seres elementais responderam e aclamaram o direito que Gautama | |||
tinha de buscar a iluminação do Buda. Diante disso, Mara desaparece. | |||
Having defeated Mara, Gautama spent the rest of the night in deep meditation under the tree, recalling his former embodiments, attaining the “superhuman divine eye” (the ability to see the passing away and rebirth of beings), and realizing the Four Noble Truths. In his own recorded words: “Ignorance was dispelled, knowledge arose. Darkness was dispelled, light arose.”<ref>Edward J. Thomas, ''The Life of Buddha as Legend and History'' (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1927), pp. 66-68, quoted in Clarence H. Hamilton, ed., ''Buddhism: A Religion of Infinite Compassion'' (New York: The Liberal Arts Press, 1952), pp. 22–23.</ref> | Having defeated Mara, Gautama spent the rest of the night in deep meditation under the tree, recalling his former embodiments, attaining the “superhuman divine eye” (the ability to see the passing away and rebirth of beings), and realizing the Four Noble Truths.
