About Buddhism
Buddhism arose from the inspiration and teachings of Buddha. It is a complete way of life concerned with the wholesome development of the individual. Buddhism can be best summarised by the words of Buddha himself:
Whereas we usually look to outward circumstances for the causes of our problems, Buddha taught us to look inwards. He showed how our feelings of dissatisfaction arise from negative states of mind - primarily anger, attachment, and ignorance - and offered methods to eliminate these by developing generosity, compassion, wisdom and other positive states of mind. Through cultivating these qualities we discover an inner state of peace and strength.
The quality of life depends not upon external development or material progress, but upon inner development of peace and happiness. Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. If we first establish peace within our minds by training in spiritual paths, outer peace will come naturally, but if we do not, world peace will never be achieved, no matter how many people campaign for it.
