佛陀的教诲

（泰国 Thailand: 2016)

The Buddha continued as a teacher for many years, gathering a group of

followers. The heart of Buddhist philosophy lies in its three key principles

called Tiratana or known as the “Three Jewels”.

The first is the life and experiences of Gautama Buddha himself where we

are encouraged to model our approach to life around his life examples. The

Buddha being a human is no different from us. He inspires himself to seek

an answer to life’s sufferings: the realities

of Birth, Old Age, Diseased and Death. The Buddha’s famous quote is: “The

mind is everything. What you think you become.” He eventually found the

way out of suffering in The Four Noble Truths and The Noble Eightfold Path

which lead to the attainment of Nibbana.

(泰国 Thailand: 1993) (泰国 Thailand: 1994)

It distinguishes very sharply from other religions is that the Buddha

taught that each of us is entirely and solely responsible for our own lives and

our own salvation; no one else can be responsible.
