When I first joined this forum, Laura Clay recommended I check out Buddhism. I tried but some of the stuff I was reading seemed to strict in thought which turned me off. I didn't realize that it was so beautiful and poetic. When I try to research it online it seems to come back to the same things(four noble truths and noble eightfold path) and kind of gave me the feeling I wouldn't "qualify". If that makes any sense. Last night after reading, I realized that it is much deeper than that. A philosophy based on happiness.
The jeweled net of Indra is also beautiful, and a very good explanation of the Universe. Is all of Buddhism this poetic? |
