Buddha is not a god or a man carrying from heaven a supernatural revelation, to be accepted on faith. He does not speak of a God, a Creator. He does not tell why we live, but how to live. He teaches a way of life, a way to rise above the troubles of life, and finally a way to achieve the ultimate happiness of Nirvana, in which a state of blissful, untroubled peace accompanies the complete opening up of understanding.
This anthology of the Buddha’s thoughts and sayings provides us with much food for thought. It gives us an opportunity to improve out minds, out lives and the thoughts and lives of those around us.
