Life Lesson From Buddhism

Nowadays, Buddhism goes beyond a religion, it is more about a philosophy which means a good way to live. For Buddha, happiness starts only when we understand the roof of suffering. Therefore, I want to share some important life lessons that received from the Buddha’s teachings, so we can easily achieve our happiness.

1.   Learn to forgive

According to Buddha’s view, people have no self which means that we should treat other people on the way we want to be treated. The anger, hatred, ambition and jealousy should not exist in our lives. When we learn to forgive, we also relieve ourselves from our pain.

2.   Be kind to everyone

The most important idea of Buddhist is kindness. No one wants to suffer from the pain and unhappiness, we should eliminate our craving, and try to share our love with many people around us to find the way to happiness. Happiness never decreases by being shared, a good deed can make a huge difference.

3.   Look for peace

Don’t try to look for peace outside because we will never find it. Peace is inside our mind, and our soul. We create our peace within ourselves, and we are what we think. The only way to find peace is silence our mind, take a deep breath and let our mind enjoy some quiet moment. A peaceful mind can keep us away from our problem in life

4.   Live a spiritual life

“Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life”- Buddha

A spiritual life always follows nature and normal things. To be a good person, we should have spirit or morality, the moral traits let us know whether we should approach or avoid a thing in our lives. It also helps us to respect and understand other people. It would become a good habit to take care people around us.

5.   Life is suffering

Don’t misunderstanding this quote about life, because there are still a lot of happiness in our lives. Not all of our lives are pain. Happiness and suffering both exist at the same time in our lives, the Buddha said “life is suffering” because everything is impermanent and changeable. We change over the time and we cannot not live forever. Each person has his/her own suffering. Therefore, we should not have a negative thought about our lives, we should enjoy our lives, try to live a healthy life, and care for other people. Then, happiness is waiting for us at the end of our path.
