Why was Shakyamuni Buddha so well respected? One of the reasons was the power of this voice, which was said to be ‘beautiful, sweet like honey, warm and graceful, resounding and clear’. He is also described as an individual who ‘speaks brightly, remarks positively, narrates gracefully, talks clearly and expresses himself eloquently to make himself understood’.
Shakyamuni is recorded as having always called out to his visitors, ‘welcome,welcome’. It is known that he associated with people with friendliness, joy and gentleness. He never greeted people with any semblance of an unfriendly manner. It is said that he was always first to speak to visitors, so that he or she would feel comfortable and have an easier time opening up to Shakyamuni Buddha.
Such an approach is nothing magical or mystical and still works well today. Employing this manner is an easy and powerful way to emulate the perfect role model.
