We live in uncertain times. If we understand peace is within us which we can tap into for strength, life changes dramatically.
Conversely, if we expect or believe that an external thing, whether a politician, law, job, or material thing from culture will make us happy, we will end up disappointed.
Its almost guaranteed.
This is just one piece of wisdom we can learn from studying Siddhartha Gautama, more commonly known as the great Buddha. Everyone can benefit from studying the path of Buddhism regardless of faith, race, or background.
Buddha’s path from a child prophesized for greatness, to prince, to giving up all his material wealth, to a wandering nomad, to ultimately creating a way of life that billions have followed for centuries is a profound journey and transformation that can teach us all much about living a full life.
