Nothing Is Permanent.

A Lot Of Problems We Are Facing, Essentially, Man Made Problem. Own Creation. Not Due To Lack Of Intelligence.

If Science Proves Facts That Conflict With Buddhist Understanding, Buddhism Must Change Accordingly. We Should Always Adopt A View That Accords With The Facts.

These Days, In Our Materialistic Culture, Many People Are Led To Believe That Money Is The Ultimate Source Of Happiness. Consequently, When They Don’t Have Enough Of It They Feel Let Down. Therefore, It Is Important To Let People Know That They Have The Source Of Contentment And Happiness Within Themselves, And That It Is Related To Nurturing Our Natural Inner Values.

We May Now Have Reached A Point Where This Gap In Our Make-up Has Become Unsustainable; Partly Because What In The Past Would Have Counted As Material Plenty Has Become The Norm For The Majority In Much Of The World; And Partly Because The Slow Retreat Of Religion That Coincided With The Spread Of A Capitalist Economy Has Left A Gaping Hole In Millions Of People's Lives.

As A Buddhist, I View Death As A Normal Process, A Reality That I Accept Will Occur As Long As I Remain In This Earthly Existence. Knowing That I Cannot Escape It, I See No Point In Worrying About It. I Tend To Think Of Death As Being Like Changing Your Clothes When They Are Old And Worn Out, Rather Than As Some Final End. Yet Death Is Unpredictable: We Do Not Know When Or How It Will Take Place. So It Is Only Sensible To Take Certain Precautions Before It Actually Happens.
