Buddhism

Hi,Friends

  Recently when I’m talking to one of my friend we came across Buddhism.I know about it before but very little.I wondered what is there in this religion that everyone says it’s so great and I started reading about it.I came across a small info about the Buddhism.I found it fascinating so I wanna share it with you people.

* First of all Buddhism is NOT a religon. It is a philosophy. This is a interesting fact to consider before comparing Buddhism with other religons.

* Secondly, only Buddhism states of a Anithya, Dukkha, Anathma.
 

#Anithya :- Nothings is stays the same. Everything changes, the only thing that does not change is “change” itself.
  

#Dukkha :- due to the fact that everything changes it results in sorrow pain which comes from attachment. We want things we like, people we love to stay the same. We dont like to loose them. But the reality is whether we like it or not we cant change the obvious changes, once u understand the true nature the more control you have over your mind.
 

#Anathma – the perception of “me”, “mine” is an illusion. There is no “me” when u refer to the physical mass (body) of a person. If the physical body is “mine” then i should be able to control it’s aging, it’s death. But we cant, what do u refer as “mine” if you cant control it? there is no “spirit” that travel from body to body. it is only the mind that hangs on to the physical body. just like thoughts, when we think of a apple we give birth to a thought there. an energy is born. the minute divert our thoughts to something else the thoughts of the apple dies and another new stream of thoughts are given birth.

But all religions teach good things. It is that you can train a person to be good either telling lies, using the fear for punishment, using fear for god etc. and theres the truth reality which can be used to make people good.

Buddhism never impose rules, never say you must fear Buddha, never say you must ONLY follow buddha etc. Rather “Don’t accept things just because they come from heritance, from your parents, from teachings, or just because i tell them. But take the facts and think of them logically with brain with an open mind and accept or refuse.”
