Buddhism is much more than a religion. It is a philosophy of Life, because philosphy means
"love of wisdom" and the Buddhist path can be summed up as follows:
1 - to lead a moral and ethically sound life.
2 - to be mindful & aware of one's thoughts,
words, and actions.
3 - to develop Wisdom and Understanding.
But how can Buddhism help me ?
Buddhism explains our real purpose in life.
It explains apparent injustice and inequality around the world. It Provides a code of practice which brings Peace and Happiness.
Buddhism has the answers to the problems in modern materialistic societies. It includes a Deep Understanding of the human mind, which prominent Scientists, and Psychologists around the world are now discovering to be very advanced and effective!! Buddhism teaches not to believe everything we're told but to develop wisdom,which requires an open, objective, unbigoted mind. We can understand others when we can truly understand ourselves through Wisdom.
