That is, 144 is highlighted everywhere and the cup. And this song keeps
playing. And the most interesting thing is, this song was playing...
I won’t remember the name, but there is one message like this, what I just
deciphered. And the second song was also highlighted, endlessly everywhere.
And there is also almost the same meaning. That a person, a guy sings,
as if he is not complaining, but that... As if they are mocking him, and he still
loves. Imagine? Stunned, how unusual this is. Such are the news for the 11th
of August, 2025.

In the Buddhist tradition, the story of how the Buddha defeated the demon
is connected with the episode of his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh
Gaya, when he encountered Mara, the demon of temptation, illusion, and death.
Mara symbolizes internal and external obstacles on the path to enlightenment
— fears, desires, doubts, and ego. This story is described in various texts, such as
the “Mahavagga” from the Pali Canon. Here is how the Buddha defeated Mara:

The Story of Buddha’s Victory over Mara

1. Context:
Siddhartha Gautama (the future Buddha) was meditating under the Bodhi
tree, striving to achieve enlightenment. Mara, knowing that Siddhartha’s
enlightenment would destroy his power over people’s minds, tried to prevent
him.
2. Mara’s Temptations:
Mara used three main approaches to distract Siddhartha:
• Seduction: Mara sent his beautiful daughters — Tanha (Thirst), Arati
(Discontent), and Raga (Passion) — to seduce Siddhartha. However, the
Buddha, focusing on his inner peace, remained indifferent to their charms.
• Fear: Mara summoned terrifying visions — armies of demons, storms,
weapons, and nightmares. But Siddhartha remained calm, realizing that
these threats were illusions generated by the mind.
• Doubts: Mara challenged Siddhartha’s right to enlightenment, demanding
proof of his merits. He asked: “Who can confirm your virtues?” In response,
Siddhartha touched the ground (this gesture is called the Bhumisparsha
mudra), calling the Earth to witness his countless virtuous deeds in past lives.
The Earth trembled, confirming his merits, and Mara was put to shame.
