In this video, we explore the profound teachings of Gautam Buddha on the power of words and the transformative potential of silence. Buddha often emphasized that while words can be powerful, they can also be the most dangerous weapon if not used wisely. Through a compelling story about a king and a Buddhist monk, we illustrate how silence can lead to inner peace and profound self-discovery.
The story begins with a restless king who, despite having all the luxuries of life, cannot find inner peace. Guided by a wise monk, he embarks on a 15-day journey of silence, living in a monastery. Initially struggling, the king gradually finds calm and happiness in solitude, leading to a deep state of meditation and a newfound appreciation for the beauty of nature around him.
In the final part of the video, we delve into Buddha's wisdom on the importance of silence. We learn that speaking less and with intention can reduce conflicts and promote peace both within and around us. By incorporating periods of silence into our daily lives, we can enhance our focus, respect, and overall sense of well-being. Join us on this journey of enlightenment and discover how a simple practice of silence can change your life.

True I took a period of 3 months to practice intermittent fasting,prayer and meditation and after a while I limited time spent talking with people because it felt like a waste of energy and unnecessary. Also because of fasting and meditation the energy usually used for outward actions is now turning inward focused on spiritual growth. Silence inner peace and energy management are mandatory and interrelated.

Rest all the materials life and numbers are useless unless one is not happy within. I firmly believe this and got the opportunity to listen to the most valued lesson for life.

Respected One, The reply from your side on Monk and King is very much valued for me as in this so called super fast mode of life nobody has time in spite of lot time spent roughly in gossip and whatsapp answers and reply.Its much for me that whatever I could truly understand is to improve our self first and then try to put our self to gain much more by communication and sharing the thought processes time to time with such humble saint words and philosophy. I do believe in what is right for our sense of humanity and as a social animal like human beings first. Please share such wonderful stories and examples of Buddhism philosophy from time to time to enhance my understanding. Regards @@InspiraZen.

Lord Muruga also told the same thing to Arunagirinathar There are two things an individual is normally engaged in; either his body is busy doing something or his mind is engaged in thinking something. When he remains thoughtless and speechless, he attains his natural state of serenity and peace. This state in which he remains quiet and still, dissolves his mind, remains ‘just being’ is the ideal state that leads him to Self-awareness. Our saints have advised us many ways by which we can reach that state and one way which is simple and needs no special effort is ‘Summa Iru”. It means remaining quiet without either any mental or bodily activity.
