Buddha and His Dhamma - The Practical Religion

THE ESSENCE OF BUDDHISM


	Buddha and His Dhamma


	The Practical Religion

Essence of Buddism:

It is the only religion whose base is reasoning.
No other religion in the history has been so flexible because the fundamental principle it acknowledge is the "Change".
The Buddha said he is a guide and not the God who will show you the way and nobody else than you, who will lead yourself to your destination.
The immediate great problem for Buddha was suffering and annihilation of suffering.

He said: "Do not bother about questions like 'Is there God?', 'Do I exist?', 'Is the world real or not?'. Do not waste your time and energy in useless discussions. Become a practical religious man. Purify your heart. Control the mind. Lead a virtuous life. You will attain Nirvana or emancipation or eternal bliss."

"The Buddha is only guide and not the God who will show you the way and nobody else than you, who will lead yourself to your destination."

It is the only religion whose base is reasoning. No other religion in the history has been so flexible because the fundamental principle it acknowledge is the 'Change'."
