Miracle of Buddha's Escape from Assassination
There are not many records of the miracles that Buddha did, rather than his birth or his becoming enlightened which have been explained in other sections of this site. But there is one story of Buddha and the miracle that happened. It starts with the envy of Devadatta, one of Buddha’s followers and a cousin. He was very jealous of his relative’s powers, and became even more enraged when he was refused the position of managing the disciples. Buddha saw that he was bad at heart, and turned him away. Devadatta took revenge by hiring thirty-one criminals to murder Buddha. This backfired when the assassins were so moved by Buddha’s values and heart that they could not complete the job, and instead became followers. When this plan failed Devadatta sent a crazed elephant to trample Buddha. The elephant became tame however when Buddha showed him his kindness and compassion. Thus, Buddha survived two deadly traps, and lived to by these miracles.
