"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity" Albert Einstein

Buddhism, with its many diverse forms, has teachings and techniques that are custom built to accommodate the needs of any individual. It also offers a place for those who have a desire for a religion but have rejected a belief in God and often the attraction is because Buddhism is a kind of atheism and a form of humanism.
Another attraction of Buddhism, by meditation, and particularly with regards to the Zen tradition, is that it offers an experience of fulfilment, manifested in love and compassion.
Very hip in a society such as ours today where people are dissatisfied and are disillusioned with their own circumstances in life.

The more I learn about Buddhism, the more interested I am in learning even more. I might have to pay a visit to my local bookstore this week.

I'd agree with that quote. Buddhism is one of the few religions I don't have any problems with.

einstein is a very creditable person. his personal opinion is more educated then most journal articles today. but that is just his opinion on the subject, yours is more important

I would rather have the bliss of The ONE and ONLY God in my life and go to heaven than live in an alleged bliss and go to...well I think you get the point.
