[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”What is Buddhism” open=”no”]
Buddhism is a philosophy that clearly shows the Path to liberation for all. This doctrine, perfect and consistent in the beginning, in the middle and in the end, can be realized in this life itself.
[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Ancient Buddhist Scriptures” open=”no”]
Everything we teach comes from the ancient sermons taught by Gautama Buddha and his enlightened disciples that lived with him. They have been preserved in the Sutta Pitaka by the Theravada Buddhist tradition.
[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Theravada Buddhism” open=”no”]
We are part of the oldest living Buddhist tradition in the world, Theravada. The teachings come from the Buddha named Sidhartha Gautama, often referred to as the historical Buddha. He was born in India over 2,500 years ago and discovered not only the cause of suffering in the world, but the way to completely eliminate all forms of suffering, large and small.
[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”The Precepts” open=”no”]
The Buddha taught us that virtue is the foundation for all of the good qualities we can develop in the mind. By following five basic training rules we can eliminate worry and regret that disturbs our meditation. As well, we avoid all the unpleasant results of unwholesome actions.
