Buddhism In A Nutshell, In Just ONE Picture -- Ahead Of Easter 2025.

Click to ENLARGE.

I am NO LONGER a Buddhist (& that has now been true for over 50 years).

I was brought up a Buddhist in a very devout Buddhist family -- my adoptive father a Buddhist activist & a BIG WIG all his life.

I know my Buddhism.

I had 14-years during which I was totally IMMERSED in Buddhism. I went to a Buddhist school, attended Buddhist Sunday school, closely interacted with Buddhist monks each & every day of my life and usually went to Buddhist temple at least twice a week.

There are two things from Buddhism that I believe 100%.

1/ Life is impermanent. We all die.

2/ Moderation, in everything, is NOT a bad thing (though I think we need to make exceptions for SEX and red wine).

But, I always had problems with the 'life is suffering' creed. I just can't live with that. I just can't.

By the time I was 18 I also fully understood that I CANNOT -- I just cannot -- believe in reincarnation.

So, I gave up being a Buddhist. 

No, I did NOT embrace another religion.

I am STRICTLY ARELIGIOUS. No RELIGION, whatsoever. Period.

I am very happy without any religion.

Being unburdened of religion makes you happy.
