PREFACE

Buddhism is a universal religion. It is very lively and the most scientific religion. It benefits not only one community, nation or religion but the whole mankind. Lord Buddha had traveled nook and corner of India after Enlightenment to preach his religion for forty-five years. His words are preserved in three Baskets which are technically called the Tipittaka. Lord Buddha had brought harmony and peace in a strife stricken ancient Indian society of the Sixth century B.C. Buddhist’s doctrines are based on reason. These doctrines are relevant even in present world to dispel social, moral, economical, and religious evils.
From a philosophical perspective, Buddhism is a pure and harmonious community. Buddhism stands for the democratically elected leader and supports freedom of speech. As a matter of fact, the teachings of the Buddha are not only the basic teachings but also practical guidelines to make the Dhamma meaningful and applicable to daily life. Only one who lives with Dhamma will experience the qualities of the Dhamma. The method which the Buddha proposed for this process of self-examination is a subject of observation and critical study. His own philosophy was described as ehi-passika (dhamma should be come and seen) and paccatta veditabba (should be realised by oneself). Thus, it is considered as a means to help a person to steadily reach complete liberation (vimutti) from the edge of non- suffering. The Buddha-dhammas are like a raft which is left behind when one reaches the other, i.e., the Ultimate destination (Nibbana) and is not carried along.
