"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard
it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and
rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is
found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything
merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not
believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many
generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find
that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and
benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." Buddha - The Enlightened One |

“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 and 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 |

Half a millennium before Jesus, more than a millennium before Mohammed, the Buddha found Enlightenment. And until the Chinese Revolution the number of his followers far exceeded the number of Christians and Muslims added together. Buddhism through times and space, from the founding of the world’s largest monastic Order in northern-eastern India 2,500 years ago to modern America, where its many adherents continue to find its supremely civilized culture of benevolence, honesty and self-control of immense appeal to the world. For the first one thousand years of its history Buddhism and its monasteries spread through Asia, traveling first south to Sri Lanka, then main north and east Tibet, Burma, China, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Korea, and Vietnam. By the time it reached Japan, where the Zen schools flourished and still flourish, Buddhism was in decline in India. Yet in this present century it has shown new life in its homeland. Though brutally suppressed in Tibet, and ever resilient, established the first monasteries in European and American. |

As you know the number of people gaining access to the Internet is growing at an extremely rapid rate. As more people learn to familiarize themselves with the Internet, more people will rely on it to look for and to share information available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week around the world by just a clicking away. There are many sects in Buddhism. The teaching of Buddha is very deep and profound. All sects of Buddhism concentrate on the true teachings of Buddha, but each one approaches it differently. Sectarian Buddhism is wonderful. It has given us the opportunity to practice the various teachings deeply for all these years. Then, all Buddhists will speak up with one unified voice on issues of concern for the Buddhism community and try to focus in humanistic social action by providing community services and development. |
