Re: Buddhism in one sentence
All that is subject to arising is subject to cessation.
"Once you understand anatta, then the burden of life is gone. You’ll be at peace with the world. When we see beyond self, we no longer cling to happiness and we can truly be happy."

Buddhism is the most systematicLombardi4 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2009 5:14 pm If any non-buddhist ever asked you to describe Buddhism in one sentence, what would you tell him/her?
My take:
Buddhism is a set of teachings and practices whose aim is the utter elimination of suffering and attainment of complete happiness, achieved through deep insight into the true nature of reality.
Your take:
(svākkhāto) teaching in the world!
Say to nonbuddhists, "If there is another religion that is
MORE SYSTEMATIC, THEIR HOLY BOOKS than Buddhism,
I will change my faith."
