Hey! Thank you ever so much for your encouragement. The Buddha was born as a Prince but he ran away from the palace to seek truth. That was some 2,500 years ago; so we have about 2,540 years to go before a total wipe out! I guess it is going to be similar to the demise of Atlantis!
Yeah, Buddhism is based on reasoning and scientific investigation of all things including emotions. The teachings are there to guide people on how to lead ethical life style. Life’s karmic so whatever one does will have consequences! So we have to do the right things and not cause any harm to others; being responsible for one’s thoughts, actions and words!! They all have effects on others and oneself eventually.
It’s like a philosophy for living a ‘good’ or ‘beautiful’ life style to me.
Have a nice weekend!
