Buddhas Emotional Life

Posts: 23 Join Date: 9/28/23 Recent Posts
Hello Everybody,

I'm wondering what kind of emotional life Buddha had. During his life as a prince, he had many deep emotional connections with his family members, friends, and teachers. His emotional life was very rich. I wonder what happened to it when he became enlightened. How does being enlightened affect one's emotions?
​​​​​​​
Love,
Marino

"How does being enlightened affect one's emotions?"

There is awareness of such emotions and myriad things arise-passing with it. 

As for Buddha's life ... well I wasn't there at that time so ... emoticon 

p.s. also emoticon Its far safer (and less painful) to think in terms of an "awakened fluctuating moment" rather then a solid and "permanent enlightenment". 
Arahants talk about a certain "permanent shift" in perception but I would not lose my head over that thing emoticon 
BTW, not that Im enlightened, so take my words with a grain of salt! emoticon
