Buddhism in One Sentence Dec 14th 2011, 12:24 This is a quote from A Profound Mind: Cultivating Wisdom in Everyday Life by His Holiness the Dalai Lama: "Perhaps the chief difference between Buddhism and the world's other major faith traditions lies in its presentation of our core identity. The existence of the soul or self, which is affirmed in different ways by Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, is not only firmly denied in Buddhism; belief in it is identified as the chief source of all our misery. The Buddhist path is fundamentally a process of learning to recognize this essential nonexistence of the self, while seeking to help other sentient beings to recognize it as well." "The Buddhist path is fundamentally a process of learning to recognize this essential nonexistence of the self, while seeking to help other sentient beings to recognize it as well." That's possibly the best one-sentence definition of Buddhism I've ever read. Truly, the rest is commentary.
