What we can learn today from the profound wisdom of Buddha!

Revisiting the past WITH A MODERN EYE, we can learn to see ourselves as cosmic citizens participating in a DYNAMIC STRUGGLE between “QUESTIONING” and TRADITIONAL “BELIEFS” …This struggle can drive progress or bring on WAR AND VIOLENCE.
For the Buddha, enlightenment was NOT an esoteric pursuit, but an omnipresent reality
waiting to be tapped. He encouraged questioning, self-transforming, and acting with compassion,
OR BE DOOMED TO CONFLICT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
What we examine next, and how we develop our minds as a result,
will determine the future we manifest…and whether we can EVOLVE in time
to fulfill our potential on Earth!
