Anyone who lives on this planet has to be amazed at the beauty of nature, of birth a flower so many things no one can really explain. Whether you believe in a God or just Mother Nature we have to be aware to some extent just maybe there is a power that created all this. Some religions point out that according to their text, the God created all this even man but made man a little different by giving him free will, choice to make his own decision and create his own destiny. No, one can dispute the miracles in this world.
Taking all this into consideration I think we can agree, God or whatever was and is a great creator. However we also have to be aware he, she was and is not such a good manager. By giving everyman certain traits such as sensual desire and free choice could be a real problem. Because we as humans are selfish we want what we want. And we are the only creature on Earth that has the power in intellect to change things to accommodate our desires beyond our needs. In other words he turned the world over to us every one of us to run as we see fit. With limited guidance in any form!
Now this is not to say he ignored us or Earth he did select or empower certain individuals with a gift of moral enlightenment, now and then to help us. Some of these are Buddha, Jesus, Mohamad, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, and other great teachers of moral lives to help us along the way. But we humans can’t even agree to the wisdom of these teachers sages. We use their names not to solidify us but to further divide us. Each group wants to be the one, even if in truth most of the teachings are common sense morals on how to live our lives in harmony with each other and earth.
There are 195 nations in our world each one unique in its outlook of life, languages of its own and identity unique to it. Each country has its own set of laws and rules for it that has evolved and is approved by the people of that nation for its own purpose. All of them want to keep these national identities for their nation and if you want to live in one of them have to follow their laws. Not the laws of your old country or in your own mind but the nation laws you live in or want to. Again not rocket science, right?
This is where things get complicated. The elitist liberals come in to play, they want way to cause conflict between us, divide us as you may into subgroups be race, color of skin, religion, sex, sexual preferences, and many more. That way they get profit in dollars and cents in their pockets from you and power to manipulate people and nations of the world for their benefit, all in the name of good. They lie and are immoral in their actions and words. But many of us do not research them but except them at face value.
Moral teaching if follow by every man and woman on earth would over time bring us into balance and harmony where we worked together for a better society of each nation. But just like the title of this book,” Why are you afraid of Buddha” we really don’t understand or research we just assume because someone we look up to says this or that. “Buddha” gave us the “Eight Fold Path” a set of moral rules to help us evolve and find peace. I think if you read them you will realize the fear some want to create or ways belittle Buddha’s teaching would end.
My hopes is you will do some basic research on your own and realize Buddha was just a man a wise enlighten man who found a way to improve his life and to teach it to others, nothing more. He even said, “Don’t believe what you hear or read even if I say it, unless in fits into your reasoning and common sense. Try it out for yourself, if it works then use it if not find something that will work for you and all those you come in contact with.
