Buddhism
Buddha gave his students effective methods aimed at their personal development that would allow them to live better, become free and full of joy. His teachings were given in everyday situations while he was travelling with his students throughout India and teaching “the way things are”. Read more.
Meditation
The Buddhist meditation is the fastest way to develop the mind’s full potential and to reach the lasting happiness. The Buddhist goal is exceedingly simple – to get rid of hopes and fears and reach absolute freedom. All mind’s perfect qualities arise naturally in the moment of here and now. Read more.
