The basics of Buddhism - Sat 17 Jul |
| An introduction to inner peace and meditation |
 |
| Although our understanding and control of the external world
is unprecedented, our understanding and control of the internal
world of our own minds is very weak. As a result of this imbalance
our lives are unsatisfactory and full of problems and worries. By
learning essential truths originally taught by Buddha, we can develop
an essential spiritual dimension to our lives through which we will
gradually free our minds from all suffering and attain the pure and
lasting happiness that material success alone cannot provide. |
