∙ 15y agoBuddism is 'now-ness' and a Buddhist practioner/cultivator is mindful of doing good, avoiding evil and purifying the mind at all times. Buddism is mind culture where we train the mind to perfection, to look inward in order to understand the true nature of things. When we have perfected the mind we are enlightened; we are liberated and free from samsara(a sate of mind that is polluted with sufferings); we have return to the source, our Trua Nature/ True Mind. Buddhist do not believe to live for one day, one year, one life time but many, many life times until enlightenment is attained.
