After being a strong lover of yoga and philosophy, I became intrigued into the religion of Buddhism and decided to look further into the less known and understood lifestyle.After briefly reading some online books about the beliefs that are intertwined into the spirituality; I was also fortunate to also be able to read into the history in the creation of Buddhism, and how it evolved into the fourth most popular religion in the world.It was unbelievable how similar many of the practice's I do ,were also a large part of Buddhists trainings.3 beliefs that stood out when I was researching this was; 1.Discernment, insight, wisdom, enlightenment. This is the real heart of Buddhism. Wisdom will emerge if your mind is pure and calm. 2.The principle of equality: that all living entities are equal. 3.Discernment, insight, wisdom, enlightenment. This is the real heart of Buddhism. Wisdom will emerge if your mind is pure and calm.
The act of meditation is so unbelievable.The ability to forget the world around you and to completely relax your mind clearing it from any thought is so intriguing; and as a beginner at this I find it very difficult at times to let go of the stress and worries that are in our lives.These beliefs that are practiced in Buddhism are something I can relate to in the sense that I believe in them and aim try to spiritually obtain these qualities.The Buddhism religion is so dissimilar from all others because it allows the human to think and act in an independent way but still have the same connection towards the Buddha and other gods .I feel as though the religion is unique to its own and that beliefs are an internal peace that cannot be taken away by anyone, because the only thing that is treasured in the Buddhists life is their mind and soul.So by researching and discovering more about the religion of Buddhism I have strengthened my interest in the spiritual aspects and hope to be able to continue in absorbing and experiencing more about Buddhism. If you readers are interested in exploring more about Buddhism there is a documentary on you tube about the height of happiness and the happiest person in the world , who happens to be a monk.
