WHAT IS BUDDHISM

   This question is arises in all those who wish to better understand it. Buddhism is most virtuous and perfect educational directed by Buddha towards all sentient being in the universe. This educational cover’s a boundless  range of phenomena and principles that is much broader than what is currently studied in the modern universities. In regard to time, it encompasses the past, present  and Future. In regards to space, it encompasses everything from our daily lives to the infinite universe.

    How can we tell that Buddhism is an educational?

Today, the terms teachers and students are only used in school. However, we call Buddha shakyamuni, original teacher. We call ourselves students, as did our predecessors in ancient china. This is unlike religious in which the god and his or her discipline do not have a teacher-student relationship. In Buddhism, however, it is clearly stated that the Buddha is the teacher and we are the students. Buddhisattvas and we are classmates; they were the buddhas former students while we are its current ones.
