The Buddha's Message
- Buddha was not interested in answering philosophical questions about his teachings but in providing a way to cease suffering and gain enlightenment. Are there questions you feel are necessary to ask in your system of belief?
- Try to think of your life without the persistence of your individual self over time. What difficulties do you run into?
- Is the doctrine of karma the same as the sentiment expressed in “what goes around, comes around”? Why or why not?
