Truth has to be manifested here  where we are, and not elsewhere. Once the Truth is established here, in  the twinkling of an eye the Truth will be founded everywhere. Either  here or nowhere the Truth must be established. Again and again I must  tell you, Ananda, the Truth has to be seen, felt and realised within,  and then manifested here on earth, wherever we are, and nowhere else.<\/p>\n<p>Excerpt from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.srichinmoylibrary.com\/books\/0028\/7\/5\">Siddhartha Becomes the Buddha<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.srichinmoybio.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/buddha-members-audience.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-739 aligncenter\" title=\"buddha-members-audience\" src=\"https:\/\/www.srichinmoybio.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/buddha-members-audience.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.srichinmoybio.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/buddha-members-audience.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.srichinmoybio.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/buddha-members-audience-300x270.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 85vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.srichinmoyinspiration.com\/forums\/24421\">Spirituality Festival<\/a> &#8211; report by Arpan DeAngelo<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nycmeditation.org\/buddha-play\">Buddha Play<\/a> at NYC Meditation.org<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of a meditation and spirituality festival, the New York Centre produced a play about the life of the Buddha &#8211; &#8216;Siddhartha Becomes The Buddha&#8217; Siddhartha becomes The Buddha is a play written by Sri Chinmoy and depicts the key moments in the life of Lord Buddha.
