We all know that Rama, Lakshmana, Sita are mentioned in Buddhist Ramayana, but Ravana is not mentioned in Buddhist Ramayana. So is Ravana not in Buddhist belief?

Answer :: NO ,Ravan was known to BUDDHISTs and he is Mentioned in "LANKAVATARA SUTRA "

A Thread on BUDDHIST RAVAN https://t.co/k8bfsl1EOJ

The first chapter of the Lankavatara-sutra describes that Lord Buddha once incarnated along with many of his disciples, on the Malay mountain near Lankanagari.
The Tathagata Buddha began to preach with his powerful voice, which began to resonate in the sky(2/n)
Yakshadhiraja Ravana, sitting in the lankanagari at the bottom of the mountain, could not understand this mystery ; Curious when Ravana meditated, he saw that Lord Buddha is giving sermons on the Malay Mountains among many snakes and girls and surrounded by many disciples
(3/n)
Seeing such a divine vision, Mahatma Ravana had a fervent desire that 'I too should appear before God and take advantage of his visions and pray with respect to him that he should visit Lankanagari and do welfare of the Lankavasis (4/n)
Ravana proceeded towards the Malay with Yaksha-kanya and Divyangas on a chariot equipped with many flowers Lankadhipati Ravana, having reached there, performed three revolutions of Lord Buddha while sitting in the chariot
(5/n)
Rakshavaraja Ravana praised Lord Buddha Tathagata got pleased with this praise of Ravana performed in the Totak raga and got up from his seat. Ravana also descended from his divine chariot and offered him a precious gift with respect(6/n)
Pleased with the deep devotion of Ravana, Tathagata said, 'O demon king! A number of Buddhas have appeared in this Lankapuri earlier also who have declared Buddha religion here and will do so in future I will walk with you to lankapuri ', then God climbed on the chariot.
After all the formalities of the reception, Ravana requested Mahamati Buddha to give a sermon to everyone, while praying to take the seat
Then the Buddha performed a miracle that manifested many mountains around Lankanagari Many Ravan, many Buddha and people started appearing
After his long discourse, when Tathagata realized that all the Lankans had benefited from my sermon, he accidentally disappeared into the sky by air, when Ravana and the subjects found themselves in Lankapuri(9/n)
Interestingly- Ravana is referred as
~Ten headed
~ lankadhipati
~Yakshadhipati
~lord of Lanka
And buddha is referred in sutra by word _" bhagwan " several times

In the past, we had a glimpse of Lakshmana's devotion towards Sri Rama, his brother and father figure.

However, it is interesting to note his unique relationship with Sita, especially as seen by from her perspective.

Thread below

1/

We all know about the Golden Deer / Maricha incident and the way Sita influences Lakshmana to go in search of his brother.

Personally, I am unable to get 2 strong emotional points in one thread and hence, I will skip this incident for today.

2/

In Sundara Kanda, when Hanuman meets Sita, she says the following

सिंहस्कन्धो महाबाहुर्मनस्वी प्रियदर्शिनः।
पितृवद्वर्तते रामे मातृवन्मां समाचरन्।।

Lakshmana, who has lionshoulders and strong arms, who is handsome, who takes Rama as his father & treats me as his own mother

3/

ह्रियमाणां तदा वीरो न तु मां वेद लक्ष्मणः।
वृद्धोपसेवी लक्ष्मीवान् शक्तो न बहुभाषिता।।

Heroic Lakshmana, did not know while I was borne away. He is prosperous, foremost in serving elders. He is energetic and reserved in his speech like my father-in-law ..

4/

He is a prince dear (to his brother).

These are from Sarga-38, shlokas 60 and 61.

There are 3 distinct points which I want to draw the attention of the reader to.

1. She also compares Lakshmana to Dasaratha much like how Rama did when he constructed the hut in panchavati

दधीचि ऋषि को मनाही थी कि वह अश्विनी कुमारों को किसी भी अवस्था में ब्रह्मविद्या का उपदेश नहीं दें। ये आदेश देवराज इन्द्र का था।वह नहीं चाहते थे कि उनके सिंहासन को प्रत्यक्ष या परोक्ष रुप से कोई भी खतरा हो।मगर जब अश्विनी कुमारों ने सहृदय प्रार्थना की तो महर्षि सहर्ष मान गए।


और उन्होनें ब्रह्मविद्या का ज्ञान अश्विनि कुमारों को दे दिया। गुप्तचरों के माध्यम से जब खबर इन्द्रदेव तक पहुंची तो वे क्रोध में खड़ग ले कर गए और महर्षि दधीचि का सर धड़ से अलग कर दिया।मगर अश्विनी कुमार भी कहां चुप बैठने वाले थे।उन्होने तुरंत एक अश्व का सिर महर्षि के धड़ पे...


...प्रत्यारोपित कर उन्हें जीवित रख लिया।उस दिन के पश्चात महर्षि दधीचि अश्वशिरा भी कहलाए जाने लगे।अब आगे सुनिये की किस प्रकार महर्षि दधीचि का सर काटने वाले इन्द्र कैसे अपनी रक्षा हेतु उनके आगे गिड़गिड़ाए ।

एक बार देवराज इन्द्र अपनी सभा में बैठे थे, तो उन्हे खुद पर अभिमान हो आया।


वे सोचने लगे कि हम तीनों लोकों के स्वामी हैं। ब्राह्मण हमें यज्ञ में आहुति देते हैं और हमारी उपासना करते हैं। फिर हम सामान्य ब्राह्मण बृहस्पति से क्यों डरते हैं ?उनके आने पर क्यों खड़े हो जाते हैं?वे तो हमारी जीविका से पलते हैं। देवर्षि बृहस्पति देवताओं के गुरु थे।

अभिमान के कारण ऋषि बृहस्पति के पधारने पर न तो इन्द्र ही खड़े हुए और न ही अन्य देवों को खड़े होने दिया।देवगुरु बृहस्पति इन्द्र का ये कठोर दुर्व्यवहार देख कर चुप चाप वहां से लौट गए।कुछ देर पश्चात जब देवराज का मद उतरा तो उन्हे अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ।
