Description:

Buddhism Teacher "A Buddhist is primarily a person in search of a satisfying life while pursuing enlightenment and practicing compassion and loving kindness" Welcome to the BuddhismTeacher. This website is devoted to the dharma, the teachings or truths presented in Buddhism. It is primarily for the purpose of offering thisteacher s interpretation, explanation and clarification of the facts of life as taught by the Buddha more than 2500 years ago and which are as relevanttoday as they were then. Others may havedifferent interpretations; so be it. Youcan consider the differences and choose whichever ones you prefer.Our approach is a bit different from other websites on thesubject of Buddhism. We accept the viewthat the Buddha s intention was not to establish a religion, and that while hedid not object to ceremonies and rituals, he avoided them in his teaching ofhis dharma. We are not as concerned with the Buddha as weare with what he taught. That doesn tmean we don t pay tribute to and honor the Buddha, it just means our emphasis is on his dharma.Through experiences, our way of viewing things isformed. We don t all see things the sameway, but we can consider the ways others see them. The Buddha taught that every sentient beingand every thing is in a state of constant change, that nothing remains thesame. Our feelings, perceptions, and thoughtprocess, just like our bodies, are changing all the time. As our experiences grow, the neuroplasticityof our brain enables it to change physically, which in turn changes the way it processes theinformation it receives from the mind. Since the experiences of each of us are different, the way we feel,perceive, think or act is also different. Therein is the basic challenge we all face in trying to get along with oneanother, whether it is between family members and friends, or between culturesand nations. Tolerance is preferredover bigotry.While Buddhism is definitely labeled and categorized as areligion, as indeed it is just that for some, in this teacher s view, forWesterners it is more a psychology or a very enlightened or skillful way tolive life. His Holiness the Dalai Lamacalls it the art of happiness, and the venerable Thich Nhat Hanh says it s aclever way to have a happy life. By happy , we mean "satisfactory", a life free of frustration andsuffering. Actually, most of us are Buddhists,because a Buddhist primarily is a person in search of a satisfying life whilepursuing enlightenment and practicing compassion and loving kindness.Not only will you find here the Buddha Gautama s basicteachings, but also information about Buddhist traditions, history and some ofits most significant schools, such as Zen, Pure Land, and Soka Gakkai. Youwill be able to ask The Buddhism Teacherquestions and receive answers and interpretations of the dharma, as well as join in discussions with other Buddhists orthose interested in the teachings and their often controversial and uncommoninterpretations.Note that when we write of the Buddha (initial cap), we arereferring only to Siddhartha Gautama, and when we write of a buddha (lowercase) we mean any fully enlightened one. We recognize that there are a variety of ways to spell proper names andplaces and we may use several of them. Pleasebear with that. After all, words arejust symbols of things and ideas, so weask that you try not to become attached to any one way.Finally, in the Market Place of this website, you will findrecommendations and reviews of books, audios and videos, as well as a varietyof other unique and practical items of interest to both Buddhists andnon-Buddhists alike.We encourage you to join us in our search for enlightenmentand hope you will find the Buddhism Teacher informative, provocative and interesting
