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.

Yes it can help us. One important thing to learn in Buddhism is Karma which is a Sanskrit word which literally means ‘action’. This is a key concept in Buddhism, as it is in Hinduism. At its most simple, the Buddha taught that our actions (including thought, word and deed) have consequences. In short, good deeds lead to happy states and bad deeds lead to unhappy ones.

For Buddhism, therefore, there is no such thing as good fortune or bad luck. What we experience is a result of what we have done in the past. We learn from our mistakes.

If we have lived a good moral life then at some point in the future there will be positive consequences. If we have been morally unsound, at some point in the future we will suffer because of this. What this means in effect is that we have total responsibility for what happens to us. If bad things happen to us it is not the fault of God or someone else but ultimately a consequence of what we have done in the past. It is important to note that this karmic process relates only to intentional acts. If we accidentally injure someone that is not our fault and there are no karmic consequences. However, if we intentionally hurt someone, karmic consequences

it incredibly is extra constructive to have self assurance in as maximum of the orthodox teachings of Buddha as available, because of the fact of having investigated and experienced them for oneself. this style, someone could have maximum appropriate view and not go through because of the fact of misguided or delusional concept. even regardless of the undeniable fact that they are huge and massive and canopy many subjects, if someone has experienced the middle doctrine of Buddhism, if someone for oneself is acquainted with that each and every person issues are undertaking to suffering, impermanent, and not-self, understanding the 4 Noble Truths and the Eightfold direction, then the better portion of the the remainder of Buddha's teachings stick to logically. however the great think approximately regards to the Buddhist teachings is that each and everything interior the Ti-pitaka can and could be realised for oneself: there is not any longer something in the Ti-pitaka which won't be able to be experienced if one applies attempt in the main appropriate way.
