Document Summary
Buddha neither claimed to be god nor his son. His congenial and unblemished personality made me want to know him more. Buddhism is not about learning some strange beliefs from faraway lands, but it is about looking at and thinking about our own lives. It shows us how to understand ourselves and how to cope with our daily obstacles. If one starts looking into the teachings of buddha he finds that paramount are three things. Matter turns into energy and energy turns into matter. A dead leaf turns into soil and seed sprouts and rises into a new plant. We are born of our parents; our children are born of us. This teaching makes me realize that whatever we do will be remunerated in some way or the other. Second thing which is important is that everything changes" meaning every single thing in our life is variable.
