Gautama Buddha was said to possess many superhuman powers and abilities, from his own goodness; however, due to an understanding of the workings of the skeptical mind, he reportedly responded to a request for miracles: ...I dislike, reject and despise them, and refused to comply. He is said to have attained these through deep meditation during the time when he had renounced the world and lived as ascetic. He supposedly performed such miracles to bring the most benefit to sentient beings and he himself warned that miraculous powers should not be the reason for practising his path.
