Buddhism offers sanity and wisdom.
If we think about it carefully, our modern world is encouraging us to crave. The commercials, the social media etc, they show us a “better” world. We have “better” Smart Phone, “better” vacations, “better” clothings. Right? People want to “share” their latest sensual pleasure.
So what is the missing wisdom? No one in the modern world is telling us, “Contentment is happiness. It is a virtue to be contented.” No one is saying what Buddha said. “Craving causes suffering!”
Learning Buddhism gives us the opportunity to hear alternative views. The precious message of Buddha provides us the wisdom to step out from all of that “craziness”. This is very important when the stress of competition becomes too painful and unbearable. We will have that wisdom to “step out” with our heads held up high, And that is very important today.
