Buddha provides responses to various requests, emphasizing that true change comes from within rather than being granted from outside forces. When asked to take away a habit, make a child whole, grant patience, or spare pain, Buddha responds that the individual must undertake the work themselves. Buddha notes he can provide blessings or prune one to be fruitful, but that growth and happiness ultimately depend on the person. The last request, to love others as much as Buddha loves them, meets with approval as the questioner has understood the core idea.

1. Buddha Said NO!!
Click to advance.

2. I asked Buddha to take away my habit.
Buddha said, No.
It is not for me to take away,
but for you to give it up.

3. I asked Buddha to make my handicapped child whole.
Buddha said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

4. I asked Buddha to grant me patience.
Buddha said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.

5. I asked buddha to give me happiness.
Buddha said, No.
I give you blessings;
Happiness is up to you.

6. I asked buddha to spare me pain.
Buddha said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

7. I asked Buddha to make my spirit grow.
Buddha said, No.
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

8. asked Buddha for all things
that I might enjoy life.
Buddha said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

9. I asked Buddha to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
Buddha said... Ahhhh,
finally you have the idea.
If you love others as you would also have love yourself, send this to those you know

10. THIS DAY IS YOURS
DON'T THROW IT AWAY
May Buddha Bless You,
'To the world you might be one person,
But to one person you just might be the world'
'May Buddha Bless you and keep you,
May Buddha Make his face shine upon you,
And give you Peace......Forever'
'Good friends are like stars....
You don't always see them, But you know they are always there.

15. Sculptured in the volcanic basalt
rock, the craftsmen had been
meticulously ‘cinzelando’ the
rock little by little, cutting the
columns in strategic places and
creating some rooms inside of the
rock. The walls and ceilings had
been wonderfully decorated and
had created colorful paintings
with plaster applications .

17. 32 caves are excavated in the rock

18. Some caves are monasteries

19. In the central section (where a Christi
an church would have its altar) might be
a great statue of Buddha. Remember tha
t these temples of rock had been cut ma
ny centuries before the Christian cathed
rals, which can lead us to speculate whe
ther they had been the inspiration for th
e great architects of the Medieval Age, a
nd not the Greek and Roman classic tem
ples.

26. The remaining portion of the caves
are Chaityas or temples, very
similar to Christian cathedrals,
with ceilings ‘abobodados’ with
cross-ribbed wooden beams, and
with decorated pillars of rocks.

32. The majority of paintings are more
than 1500 years old. Ten centuries
before the birth of Michelangelo,
Leonardo da Vinci and the European
Renaissance, these unknown artists
already knew how to use perspective,
depth and realism in their paintings.
The expressions and emotions
captured in the faces of the painting
are so real that today, after some
centuries, they can still be admired.
