In The Buddha's Life Story

One Can Overcome The Forces Of Negative Emotions, Like Anger And Hatred, By Cultivating Their Counter-forces, Like Love And Compassion.

Without Your Own Effort It Is Impossible For Blessings To Come.

Material Progress And A Higher Standard Of Living Bring Us Greater Comfort And Health, But Do Not Lead To A Transformation Of The Mind, Which Is The Only Thing Capable Of Providing Lasting Peace. Profound Happiness, Unlike Fleeting Pleasures, Is Spiritual In Nature. It Depends On The Happiness Of Others And It Is Based On Love And Affection.

Reincarnation Is Not An Exclusively Hindu Or Buddhist Concept, But It Is Part Of The History Of Human Origin. It Is Proof Of The Mindstream's Capacity To Retain Knowledge Of Physical And Mental Activities. It Is Related To The Theory Of Interdependent Origination And To The Law Of Cause And Effect.

Through Meditative Techniques, One Can Free The Mind Of Delusions And Attain What We Call Enlightenment.
