The miracles of Gautama Buddha<\/strong> refers to supernatural feats and abilities attributed to Gautama Buddha<\/a> by the Buddhist scriptures. The feats are mostly attributed to supranormal powers gained through meditation, rather than divine miracles.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through meditation, past rebirth or “promises” due to his understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aniruddha’s poem at the end of the Aniruddha (anuriddha) Sutra explains to you how the Buddha teleported:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing my thoughts\nthe supreme Teacher in the world\ncame to me in a mind-made body\nusing his psychic power.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
I just want to point out that the mind-made body is separate than teleporting of the physical body. This distinction is made clear in the Ayogula Sutta (of which an English translation seems to be hard to find?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Sutta, Ananda asks the Buddha if he can travel by using his mind-made body to the brahma world, and then asks if he can travel with his physical body to the brahma world, making a clear distinction between two forms of travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Venerable sir, does the Blessed One remember ever going to the world of brahma through spiritual power with a body made by the mind?” [ 1<\/strong><\/a> ]<\/p>
“I remember, Ananda, going to the world of brahma through spiritual power with a body made by the mind.”<\/p>
“But, venerable sir, does the Blessed One remember ever going to the world of brahma through spiritual power with this body composed of the four great elements?”<\/p>
“I remember, Ananda, having gone into the world of brahma through spiritual power with this body composed of the four great elements.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Most of the Buddha’s miracles are seen in Buddhism as being the result of extraordinary psychic abilities gained through advanced meditation, rather than miraculous powers.[1]<\/a><\/sup> According to Buddhist texts many of the Buddha’s disciples, as well as some non-Buddhist hermits and yogis who attained high meditative states<\/a>, also had some of these same abilities.[81]<\/a>[82]<\/a>[note 3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Levitation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A comparative study of reports that the Buddha and his disciples journeyed to celestial realms or traversed considerable distances on earth through the power of levitation gives the impression that at an early stage these would have been envisaged as being done with a mind-made body. Probably as a result of literalism, a tendency that makes itself felt in various ways in the early Buddhist texts and which has led to a range of developments in the Buddhist traditions, at a relatively early stage this would then have led to the idea that such feats involve acts of levitation done with the physical body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did buddha did miracles?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
An entry by: <\/a>Bhikkhu Vimala<\/a>, PhD Candidate of Budhist Psychology at PGIPBS (2015-present)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sorry to disappoint you, but the Buddha is a human. Because of this fact, he has no miracle powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This fact is supposed to highlight his deep thinker\u2019s personality, his unique philosophy and his legacy in Buddhism ethics, psychology and psychotherapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But how could he create such huge philosophy and psychology in the Pali Tipitaka? Buddhist scholars agree that his teaching covers the Early Buddhism only, i.e. the teaching from his time until after the first post-mortem schism which happened right after the second council, about 140 year after his demise. The Abhidhamma Pitaka for example was not his work but a much later developed Buddhism psychology. The rest of this huge philosophy and psychology were created and added gradually, continuously through 2500 year of Buddhism history, by tirelessly, anonymously modesty Buddhist thinkers and scholars and commentators who dedicated their life works to the Buddha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some devoted Buddhists shall show proof that he performed supernatural powers in such and such discourses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because Buddhism is a religion, although not in the original definition of religion per se, it is phenomenological. Much of the discourses rightly apportioned to him was added long after the first Buddhist council. Some were created or re-composed much later, e.g. Jataka tales aprox. 400 – 300 BCE, Dhammapada aprox. 300 BCE. And so as to popularize Buddhism, details of his supernatural power in such discourse might have been created and added in to attract more believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All in all, we should remember that supernatural powers are not wanted qualities by Buddhism. The Buddha and Buddhism always make clear that he meant his teaching as a way of life to prevent sufferings, i.e stress and mental disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if you want to know the personality qualities, the mentality and the characteristics that make him unique, we can show you plenty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After much thoughts and effort to reconstruct his personality profile based on the Myers-Briggs Personality Indicators, my fellow monks and I come to conclusion that he meets the ISTJ profile – The Deep Thinker. This profiling was compiled from facts filtered from the Volume of Discourse, as well as detailed events of his laying down monastic laws in the Volume of Monastic Laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of his Unique straits are as follows (but not exclusion):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
