Buddhism is focussed on improving the human life. To exclude suffering, and enjoy life for what it is.
By practicing Buddhist teachings, people protect themselves from suffering and problems. All the problems we experience during daily life originate from ignorance, and the method for eliminating ignorance is to practice Dharma, which is one of the many popular teachings of Buddha. It teaches lasting happiness, and inner peace. The simplest focus of Buddhist teaching is on loving kindness. If you could experience absolute loving kindness for all beings, then you will be enlightened. Buddhism is focussed more on teachings rather than God. They don't believe that we deserve to suffer, if we can in fact, take it away.
The Buddha teaches that attaining happiness and Enlightenment depending upon one’s own efforts. Effort is the root of all achievement. If one wants to get to the top of a mountain, just sitting at the foot thinking about it will not bring one there. It is by making the effort of climbing up the mountain, step by step, that eventually the summit is reached. Thus, no matter how great the Buddha’s achievement may be, or how excellent His Teaching is, one must put the Teaching into practice before desired results can be obtained.

‘The Value of Life does not lie in the number of years but in the use you make of them. Whether you have lived enough depends on your Will, not on the number of years’ - Michael de Montaigne 1553-1592
I like the personal connection to the subject, and how you not only give information, but some insight. In religious subjects it is good to ask, and then try to answer questions, such as How many kinds of Buddhism are there? How do they differ? How are they the same? Who was the Buddha? Why does Buddha knowing matter? Love the music for meditation. Good start but get organized and really explore. Check spelling. Thus far: since you do not quite have enough paragraphs, B-.
ReplyDeleteI think that you really were good at explaining the religion. felt like I could understand the religion better! Maybe you could include a few more questions to get the readers thinking!
