No, Buddhism is not pessimistic. It is a process of realization that all human experience is a potential source of suffering but, if the Four noble truths and Eightfold Path are followed, there is an escape from these problems. Furthermore the path to this peace is under your own personal control without the need of appeasing a deity or running the risk of eternal damnation because a mistake was made during your life.

∙ 12y agoThere is nothing pessimistic about Buddhism. It realizes that at present one's life may be difficult or painful but his can change for the better by removing desire from one's life. Unlike many other religions there isn no need to follow a set of obscure rules or attempt to please a rather arbitrary deity. There is no fear of an everlasting hell or boring heaven.
