Our Business Is To Be Happy.

Samsara - Our Conditioned Existence In The Perpetual Cycle Of Habitual Tendencies And Nirvana - Genuine Freedom From Such An Existence- Are Nothing But Different Manifestations Of A Basic Continuum. So This Continuity Of Consciousness Us Always Present. This Is The Meaning Of Tantra.

Because We All Share This Planet Earth, We Have To Learn To Live In Harmony And Peace With Each Other And With Nature. This Is Not Just A Dream, But A Necessity.

What Is Important Is To See How We Can Best Lead A Meaningful Everyday Life, How We Can Bring About Peace And Harmony In Our Minds, How We Can Help Contribute To Society.

Basically, The Buddhist Attitude Is That You Should Not Accept Certain Things Through Sheer Faith. And For That You Need A Skeptical Attitude. Buddha Himself Made This Clear To His Followers. He Said You Should Not Accept Those Things I Taught Out Of Respect For Me, But Rather Through Investigation By Yourself.

To My Mind, There Are Two Things That, In Life, You Can Do About Death. Either You Can Choose To Ignore It, In Which Case You May Have Some Success In Making The Idea Of It Go Away For A Limited Period Of Time, Or You Can Confront The Prospect Of Your Own Death And Try To Analyze It And, In So Doing, Try To Minimize Some Of The Inevitable Suffering That It Causes. Neither Way Can You Actually Overcome It.
