Buddhism
"I teach one thing and one thing only - suffering and the end of suffering." These words of the Buddha capture the unique spirit and focus of this ancient tradition. The word "Buddha" means "awakened one." The teachings and practices of Buddhism help each practicioner awaken to the real nature of life and break the cycle of suffering.
