INTRODUCTION TO BUDDHISM
As a child, Siddhartha the Buddha, was troubled by some of the same
thoughts that children today have. They wonder about birth and death. They
wonder why they get sick and why grandfather died. They wonder why their
wishes do not come true. Children also wonder about happiness and the beauty
in nature.
Because the Buddha knew what was in the hearts of children and human
kind, he taught everyone how to live a happy and peaceful life. Buddhism
is not learning about strange beliefs from faraway lands. 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 problems.
