I thought Buddha flew around...No?

Ummm... not that I know of, but I could be mistaken. Sure
you're not thinking of some of the later asininities
perpetrated by his followers - "yogic flying", for instance?

Also, didn't he sit under a tree a long time?
Like, a REAL long time?

I was wrong.... The Buddha got ****ed off when someone
ELSE flew around:

~~~~~~~~~~~~
Venerable Pindola Bharadvaja is one of the Buddha's sixteen disciples
named in The Amitabha Sutra. Under the Buddha's auspices he attained the
holy fruit of Arhat. Once when in a jubilant mood, he said to the faithful:

"Do you think flying in the sky is magical?
I will show you some spectacular acts."

He then jumped up into the sky, FLEW all around and performed many
miraculous acts. The faithful were all impressed and praised him without
ceasing. The Buddha was very displeased upon learning of this incident.
He asked the Venerable to come forth and admonished him, "My teaching
uses morality to change others and compassion to save living beings. It
does not use magic to impress and confuse people. You have misused magic
today. As punishment you to stay in this world to work for more merits
and to repent for this misbehavior."

A second example of the Venerable Pindola Bharadvaja's ability to fly
ends with the same results --- the Buddha admonishing him --- hences a
possible other version of the same event is found in the Amitabha Sutra,
and goes like:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, there we have it. Buddha don't fly.
