Why Buddhism?
( by Venerable Thubten Chodron)
We are encouraged to think for ourselves.
Buddhism is not dogmatic, depends on reason, does not expect blind faith, does not contradict science.
We are encouraged to integrate the teachings into our life.
Buddhism provides a step-by-step method for working with our mind to achieve internal peace.
We have the power and ability to change our lives - we create the causes for what we experience. Everybody is equal; nobody is inherently evil.
Buddhism emphasizes respect for all religions and their followers.
Buddhism shows us how to go beyond the happiness and suffering of this life.

Buddhism is a way of life, and
Buddha, a great teacher.
Buddhists are atheists, as they
do not believe in an almighty creator god.
